Fetherston saga comes to an end Joseph Morin
joe.morin@metroland.com
In 1996 residents of the Fetherston Mobile Home Park were beginning to complain about sewage seeping up out of the ground where they lived. By 2001 the park was on its way into bankruptcy and in 2008 the Ministry of the Environment ordered the municipality of North Grenville to take over management of the park and its defective sewage treatment issue.
Residents lived in fear of having to leave their homes unless an affordable solution could be found to solve their sewage woes. On Monday, Aug. 24 the Fetherston Mobile Home Park saga ended. It was smiles all around as park residents, municipal leaders and the staff of Clearford Water Systems held a groundbreaking ceremony at the park signifying the beginning of a new era for the more than 90 residents.

dren’s activities such as a petting zoo, bouncy castle, and face painting, can be expected. “The event provides a perfect opportunity for local producers to bring awareness to our communities through their products and expertise,” adds Marie White, Lanark County tourism manager. “We recognize the benefits of local food. This festival is a time to celebrate with our local families and show our appreciation for our agricultural community by sharing food, drink and laughter.” The celebration of local food is an annual event that supports more than 55 local businesses and six farmers’ markets, as well as developing a new economic
development network for the county through partnership with the Ontario Tourism Culinary Alliance (OCTA). Last year, the Harvest Festival was recognized by OCTA as a provincial finalist for Culinary Event of the Year. “Beckwith Township is pleased to be the host municipality for the Lanark County Harvest Festival,” says Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd. “Our staff has been working very hard with partners to ensure the event is a huge success. It is a tribute to our agricultural past and future.” “We hope to continue to create employment, build on the customer base and encourage lots of visitors to come to Lanark County,” adds festival founder and Montague Reeve Bill Dobson. “Lanark County has been recognized as a food destination, and we want to build on this momentum while raising awareness about our agriculture,” notes Keith Kerr, Lanark County Warden. There are still spaces for vendors. To register, contact cmcgregor@twp. beckwith.on.ca. For general information, visit www.harvestfestival.ca or call 1-888-4-LANARK. R0013431264_0827
Want to get fresh with a local farmer? The third annual Lanark County Harvest Festival will give everyone a chance to do just that. This outdoor event, slated for Sunday, Sept. 13 at Beckwith Park (1319, 9th Line, Beckwith), will celebrate the county’s bounty of the harvest featuring local producers, food seminars, cooking demonstrations, children’s activities, local musicians and more. This year, Tay Valley Township will be the featured community, showcasing its people, products and projects. The Lanark County Harvest Festival is an opportunity for people to meet our local farmers and purchase local food and other locally-made products. Our county has a unique blend of producers, passions and food. The festival will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is a collaboration of several local groups, including Lanark Local Flavour, Lanark County Farmers’ Markets, the Lanark County Agricultural Advisory Committee, the Township of Beckwith, Tay Valley Township and Lanark County. In 2015, the collaboration between four Beckwith Churches will continue to deliver the popular Harvest Church Supper of traditional stew including lamb stew, vegetable stew, beef stew and gluten-free stew (not to mention pie of all kinds). Some of the participants are growing the ingredients, and others are sourcing local ingredients. It is “stew The program includes cooking demgood to miss.” Tickets are $12 and will be sold in advance or at the door for the onstrations featuring local chefs who supper, taking place from 4 to 6:30 p.m. will present information about cooking with local ingredients.

County’s revamped community grants program not ready just yet Once finalized, Lanark County’s new community grants program will provide a streamlined approach for local organizations applying for funding annually. The program was up for discussion during Lanark County’s corporate services committee meeting Aug. 12 in Perth. Chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves provided an overview of the progress to date. Originally, county councillors had passed a motion back in February that no formalized grant policy was to be established and requests would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. “Since that time, it’s been suggested by councillors that we need a formalized policy,” Greaves stated. He said the program update was to “bring full accountability and transparency to the property tax-funded community grants program, by providing a formalized process to evaluate requests for grants and to establish a separate budget section for taxpayerfunded grants.” Currently, Lanark County distributes more than $300,000 a year through the community grants program. The policy will provide an even playing field for all organizations applying for funds and will require them to submit budgets and background information. Once the deadline passes, all requests will come to the corporate services committee for discussion. “It’s a simple one-page budget and proposal that must accompany it (application). It’s pretty straightforward and requires organizations to do some legwork and have their ducks in a row and at that point, council will consider their requests,” Greaves said. “We’re also segregating community grants in a separate budget section,” he continued. “In the past, it was dispersed throughout the budget, but I think it should all be in one section so it’s transparent to taxpayers and so taxpayers know where their money is going.” Another aspect of the policy staff recommends is implementing an upper limit on the total grant funds allocated based on the previous year’s tax levy. “For example, using the amounts given out last year, 1.1 per cent of the levy would allow the upper limit to be set at $337,000 for 2016,” Greaves noted in his presentation. Coun. Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills mayor) agreed with the 1.1 per cent, but cautioned council if that figure increased. “Once we start getting past one per cent of taxation, people will be asking why is my money going to this? We have to be careful. We could get seen by a lot of people as a big charity who you can tell a sob story to and get some money,” he stated. “I believe $320,000 is a lot of money. It’s very generous. We should try to keep whatever we do within that 1.1 per cent.”
“I liked the one per cent number because then council can say to taxpayers, it’s only one penny out of every dollar that’s going to this. I think that can be justified,” Greaves answered. Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith deputy reeve) was pleased to see this coming before the committee. “I read this over two or three times and it’s an issue that’s important to me. I was uncomfortable with the way we were doing it (grants program), so I think this is perfect and has to be open and transparent because these are taxpayers’ dollars,” she remarked. “Excellent job done by staff.” Because some of the partnerships operate on a continued basis, such as funding provided to the youth centres (county provides $40,000 to each centre annually) and Lanark Transportation Association, Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor) wondered how the policy would accommodate those. “This is stable funding, not a grant, so we can’t put them in the grants program and say they have to apply each year. It changes the game,” she stated. “The youth centres should be part of the $300,000. Let’s be realistic here, that’s the very funding that started the concern over the grants program,” Mousseau pointed out. Greaves said program grants are set once by a term of council, “so you’ve already done that” for the youth centres. Another question raised by Smiths Falls mayor Shawn Pankow was how the new policy would deal with other emergency funding requests that come up after the deadline. “I look to the Two Rivers Food Hub as an example. That (funding request) came in after budget time,” he said. “You should leave a certain amount of money available for those things that come up each year.” “I like the idea of having some discretion…a little pocket (of money) that falls slightly outside of the criteria,” added Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor). “It gives this council the opportunity to help people.” One option, Greaves said, was to allot a certain amount of funds for emergencies. He said there is currently $30,000 in emergency funding sitting in the budget that could be used for that purpose. “We don’t want to miss these opportunities, but council always has the ability to make up policies as they go along and go above policies they’ve set,” he reminded. Originally on the corporate services committee docket for June, the matter was deferred to the August meeting. With this year’s community grant applications due Aug. 31, Greaves suggested the program remain status quo for this year with the changes to be implemented in 2016. “The deadline is Aug. 31, which is why I brought this forward in June, initially,” he said. “Now that I’ve received some comments, staff will have
another look at this before it comes to county council…and make sure revisions have been made to the policy.” Coun. John Gemmell (Perth acting mayor) was one of the councillors pushing for the new policy and said no more time should be wasted on
implementing it. “Let’s just do it instead of arguing about it,” he commented. Over the past five years, some of the organizations who have benefitted from the Lanark County community grants program include: People
First of Lanark County, Two Rivers Food Hub, Lanark County 4H Club, Lanark Archives, youth centres, Lanark County Interval House, Lanark County Tourism Association and the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association.

Support Interval House at Take Back the Night, fundraising run this September Ashley Kulp
To register for eRACE Violence, visit www.runningroom.com.
There are several ways to help Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) erase violence against women this September. In an effort to reach all areas of the county they serve, the non-profit organization has been brainstorming different opportunities to raise funds. The first of those initiatives, the eRACE Violence fundraising walk and run takes place Sunday, Sept. 13 at the Middleville Museum in Lanark Highlands. This is the brainchild of LCIH’s fundraising co-ordinator, Pam Cupak, who is also a fitness instructor. “This is something that’s a passion for me, so it was an easy connection to make “Lanark Highlands is somewhere we haven’t done a lot in the past, so they are pumped,” she explained. “It’s our very first time doing this, so it’s exciting,” added LCIH executive director Erin Lee. “...We wanted it to be in a part of the county where we are not really present. So this is all about expanding for us.” The fundraiser, a family-friendly event, includes 5K and 9K run/walk and a 16K bike ride on a section of Wolfgrove Road. And for those who dare, they can attempt the duathlon (5K run, 16K cycle and 9K run). “We talk to women about mental
Take Back the Night Sept. 24 One of the most poignant events hosted by LCIH each year is Take Back the Night, a march for women’s right to be free of violence and to walk without fear. As in years past, supporters will gather Thursday, Sept. 24 in Carleton Place’s Town Hall Square (behind the town hall) at 6:30 p.m. for guest speakers and a rose ceremony where women who have lost their lives to violence will be remembered by placing flowers in the Mississippi River. Afterwards, those in attendance will march down Bridge Street to Lake Avenue, where they will turn around and finish at Read’s Book Shop for refreshments.

In addition to the main event, great prizes will be offered and a fundraising bake sale in the museum will be
held. “We really have some great prizes. Most are focused around fitness, including ski passes and fitness apparel, as well as beer from the Perth Brewery,” Cupak noted. Participants can also take part in
mini-yoga sessions, explore walking trails and tour the Middleville Museum. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to help supporting LCIH’s programs and services for abused women and children in the county.
Flip Your Tips, back to school drive After approaching local businesses to see if they’d be interested to donate a portion of gratuities to Interval House. “That branched out to restaurants and other fundraisers, including the Sunflower Bake Shop in Perth baking cookies for us with our logo on it,” Cupak said.

organization. “We are hoping through these campaigns that we are able to reach out to businesses and communities that may not be as aware of the services provided by LCIH and how important these services are for our friends and neighbours,” she stated. The Masonry Restaurant and Curly Redhead in Perth has committed to helping out and Two Guys for Lunch in Smiths Falls recently filled a donation box for LCIH during their Christmas in July lunch. To participate, contact Cupak at fundraising@lcih.com or 613257-3469. Another important initiative is LCIH’s back to school Crowdfunding campaign. In order to outfit children accessing their services to ensure they are ready for the classroom, the organization is seeking donations of as little as $10 from the community until Sept. 7. Donations will go
towards outreach support for kids as well as educating youth and teens on dating violence and healthy relationships. “Backpacks and having full lunch bags are important, but people forget that women go back to school. Donations of markers and crayons are really, really helpful, but there are other needs including running shoes, that aren’t readily available,” Lee said. “We have to be empowering our youth to have conversations about sexual violence and being safe and keep that dialogue open throughout our schools,” she continued. Annual general meeting Also taking place in September is LCIH’s annual general meeting, Monday, Sept. 14 at the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum (267 Edmund St.) in Carleton Place. All members of the public are welcome to attend the evening, which starts at 6 p.m. As in pre-
vious years, the organization will be recognizing its volunteers and partners at the meeting as well, including those at the As Good As New thrift store, which marks its 35th anniversary this year. “It contributes approximately $50,000 to our operating budget which is significant and it’s entirely volunteer run and volunteer led,” Lee said. “They have an amazing contribution of 1,800 to 2,000 volunteer hours a year.” “...It’s really important to us and has become a permanent fixture in the community,” she added. The store also gives women and children accessing LCIH services a place to get items they need. “It really does benefit everybody,” she stated.

Do not fall for calls
ne of those telephone scams is apparently still making the rounds, prompting the RCMP to issue an advisory to Ontarians this past week. We’ve noted this one or something similar to it before, but it bears repeating in order to try and prevent more people from being victimized. The caller claims to be an RCMP officer seeking to collect fines or income taxes or a variety of other fraud-related tactics. The recipient of the call must pay up immediately or else face being arrested within 24 hours. In some cases, the phone number for the RCMP appears on the prospective victim’s call display. The RCMP indicated that it does not contact individuals to collect fines or taxes; the caller’s threat is meant “…to create such shock and anxiety that victims respond by sending money quickly in order to fix the problem,” according to an RCMP release. Anyone who receives such a call or knows someone who has can contact
the local police service or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501. Spread the word about the scam to raise awareness and possibly save someone who might be susceptible to the threatening tactic from falling for the fraud and losing his or her money. Also, keep in mind that Canada Revenue Agency does not call and insist that someone can solve his or her tax arrears problem (which probably doesn’t exist) by rushing out and buying VISA gift cards and then turning over the cash value. And the agency is no longer called Revenue Canada even though many of us still refer to it that way. A caller claiming to be from Revenue Canada is trying to steal your money, plain and simple. Don’t divulge any personal information such as bank account or credit card numbers, and don’t be afraid to tell others about your experience. By doing so, you could be helping a family member or friend from making an embarrassing and costly mistake.
Meaning of patience revealed for Mary in her sister Audrey “That girl has the patience of Job,” Mother said. She said it often enough of my sister Audrey, and I had no idea who Job was, that I was determined to find out what the word patience meant. If Audrey had an abundance of it, maybe I could claim to have it too, since we were sisters, and it seemed to be something of great value. And so one day, just before school was let out for the summer, I asked Miss Crosby if she would look up the word ‘patience’ in the big black dictionary that sat on the corner of her desk. She read me the description, which had big words like ‘ tolerance and endurance’ in it. I was still none the wiser, and I decided Job was someone Mother knew in Renfrew, because there certainly was

nobody out in Northcote by the name of Job. At any rate, my older sister Audrey had the same trait as this fellow Job. And then one day, a discussion around the supper table sent me into a panic and I couldn’t even eat my piece of raspberry pie, which was my favourite. Audrey was finished at the Northcote School, and like so many girls from the farms around, that meant going off to Renfrew and doing housework for the rich people. I couldn’t stop the tears from rolling
down my face right onto the pie in front of me. Audrey put her arm around my shoulders and told me that day was a long way off, and I wasn’t to fret about it. She was needed on the farm, she said, and that’s where she would be staying. I asked her to ‘promise and hope to die’ which was right up there in importance with asking God for a special favour. She again assured me, she would be right at home for a long time to come. After supper, and after the kitchen had been redded up, I went out to the grape arbour and sat in the big two-seater swing, and started to think about all the things I would miss if my beloved sister Audrey ever left me. Who would sing to me at night when we went to bed?

Whose arm would reach out across the bed roll and keep me safe when the whippoorwills sang their eerie songs when it was black as pitch outside and I was terrified they would get in the house? And who would sit with me
in the long grass and pull dandelion stems, then split them and roll them down into tight curls, and make up stories about how the women of long, long ago got the idea of curling their hair from the dandelions? And I thought of the many
times Audrey and I stretched out on the grass on a summer’s day when the sky was full of soft white clouds. And we would “see” dogs, fierce lions, and old men’s faces, as See MARY page 9

the clouds shifted taking on new shapes as the gentle wind pushed them into different forms. And Audrey would make up stories about the things we read in the clouds, and often I would doze off, filled with a fierce love of a sister who found time to spend with a much younger sister, when there were other things she would much rather be doing. It was Audrey who defied anyone at the Northcote School to pick on me... even bad Marguirite got to know what it was like to be on the receiving end of a tongue lashing if she made fun of my hand-me-down clothes, or my long red ringlets.
LETTER From page 8
For perspective: in fiscal year 20132014, the agency collected a total of $330.9 billion in taxes and other revenues such as Employment Insurance premiums, Canada Pension Plan contributions, interest and penalties. The amount written off – $3.4 billion – represents only one per cent of the total tax collected. Even when an account is written off, it may remain collectable and the taxpayer’s obligation to pay may not be eliminated. The CRA has the right to collect the debt in the future if the taxpayer is located or their financial situation improves.
Wasn’t it Audrey who, when I asked, would sit with me in the very swing I was in at that moment, and tell me imaginary stories of far off lands, and people who spoke in different tongues, and wore different clothes. And when I would say, “tell me another one, Audrey,” she would simply let out a long sigh, and begin another story. And wasn’t it Audrey, who would take the book I had chosen from the Renfrew Library, with big words I couldn’t read, and sit with me at the kitchen table before bedtime, and read to me, when I knew she would much rather be reading her own book? And wasn’t it Audrey, even knowing I had little talent, spent hours trying to teach me how to make French
Knots, and daisies on the end of flour bag tea towels? And she would praise me and say how clever I was. As I sat in the swing that day, seeing in my mind’s eye, all the things my sister Audrey did for me, and the hours she spent with me, I knew then what mother meant when she said, “That girl has the patience of Job.” Audrey certainly, as far as I was concerned, had patience. Sadly, I never did find out who that guy Job was! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Further, the CRA’s actions to address offshore tax evasion have never been more substantial. Most recently, Economic Action Plan (EAP) 2015 invested an additional $58.2 million for tax avoidance by large and complex entities, and an additional $25.3 million to address offshore non-compliance. Because of these efforts, we are seeing results. The dramatic increase in taxpayer submissions to the CRA’s Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) indicates that Canadians are aware of the CRA’s focus on detecting and deterring offshore non-compliance. More than 5,000 disclosures related to offshore activities were received by the CRA from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014, lead-
ing to the identification of $303 million in unreported income. Compare that to fiscal year 2014-15, where that number rose to 10,188 disclosures and $708 million in identified unreported income. This is millions of dollars that, as a result of concerted government action, is now being collected and returned to Canada’s revenue base.

“Everywhere you go and everyone you know will always have a connection with childhood cancer. And you coming to show your support and registering your family –it does help.” “The more people that show up and the more money we raise, the less children have to go through childhood cancer.” Bergen says she will be returning to Neon Night in Kemptville this year for another fun and successful event. Are you a childhood cancer survivor? Do you know someone in the area who is? Or perhaps a child who is battling now? Aside from fundraising, an important part of Neon Night is to honour those children who have battled cancer in the past or are living with it now. There will be a special childhood survivor Knighting Ceremony where survivors are paired with “heroes”, Olympic athletes and hopefuls who have come out to support the cause. There is no registration fee for child survivors, as well as up to two parents and a sibling. Every year, 860 Canadians between the ages of birth and fourteen are diagnosed with cancer. While the rate of diagnosis has remained stable over the last few decades, child cancer death rates have declined by 50 per cent since 1985 thanks to innovative research. Today, 82 per cent of childhood cancer patients will survive at least five years

At last year’s Neon Night event to raise money for childhood cancer, Rikki Leigh Bergen stayed busy filling a number of volunteer roles. After handing out Tshirts at the registration desk, she assisted in face painting and directing participants where they needed to go – all of this while five months pregnant. Bergen thought it was important to aid the childhood cancer survivors attending the event because, though now an adult, she is one of them. Two decades ago, when she was only fifteen-weeks-old, Bergen was diagnosed with nonHodgkin Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer that affects parts of the immune system. At the time, Bergen was the youngest ever diagnosis of the disease in Canada. After a long battle and many visits to the hospital, Bergen went into remission at two-and-a-half-years-old. She says she doesn’t remember most of the experience, but still attests that her early years with cancer left behind an impression on her adult life. People frequently ask in conversation about her physical scars from the disease, so she often recounts her story. She also has to go to checkups regularly to make sure her body is doing well after the treatment she received so long ago. “Even at 21-years-old, I still have to worry about that sort of stuff,” she says. She also describes sometimes suffering from nightmares of being surrounded by nurses on a hospital bed, a situation she likely lived through more than once as a child. As someone whose life has been fundamentally changed by cancer, Bergen says she appreciated Neon Night last year as a time to reflect on her journey and to assist those who are now facing what she faced. At one point in last year’s event, Bergen got up onstage to speak on her history with cancer. “It was very emotional,” she said of the experience. “Almost everybody there had some sort of connection with cancer.” Having lived with cancer and survived, and now raising a child of her own, Bergen says she wants to support Neon Night event – and also wants the community around her to understand how important it is.

Getting set to brave the wettest part of the hemisphere Reflections By Jeff maguire
after a full day of touring, couldn’t don her sleepwear and crawl beneath the covers. She waited impatiently while I scouted out two other rooms with the concierge who, by the way, was a very friendly and helpful gent. Hot and hotter I was shown two larger rooms but they were just as sticky and uncomfortable as the one where Kathy sat watching the night slip away. In the end we settled for the offer of a large oscillating fan and we were so tired that even the oppressive conditions in the room wouldn’t keep us awake. We eventually switched to larger rooms. But Frank and Wendy ended up experiencing a terrible night in another airless space with an air conditioner that was no more than a poor fan really. The moral of the story? Don’t travel to Ireland in summer expecting the weather to be temperate. When you

jackets they were wearing in photos emailed to us underlined what Newfoundlanders have been experiencing this season. There hasn’t been any summer there! In fact thousands upon thousands of square kilometres are experiencing cold, wet weather while the remainder of the hemisphere is hotter than usual. By contrast Canada’s Prairie provinces have been sweltering all spring and summer and it is now obvious that the agriculture industry has taken a huge hit. That fact will no doubt be reflected in higher commodity prices this coming fall and winter. I should also note that parts of the Southern Hemisphere have experienced colder than normal weather this year. Residents of Canberra, Australia’s normally temperate capital city experienced their first snowfall in years last week. Much of the southeastern region of the ‘Land Down Under’ has experienced similar conditions this winter. So no, global warming isn’t happening everywhere as we are always being instructed! Because of my long connection with the local newspaper and, more recently, the Sister City Committee in Carleton Place we have made many friends in the picturesque village of Comrie, Scotland.

book hotel rooms, make sure they have up-to-date air conditioning. The stories you may hear about Ireland and the UK being too cool for air conditioning are complete nonsense. We’ve had more than enough experience in sweltering hotel rooms and bed and breakfasts to totally explode that myth. With all of the information we receive on a daily basis relative to global warming, it is interesting to note that a wide swath of the Northern Hemisphere is the coldest part of the world this summer. That includes both sides of the North Atlantic. The vast region with colder than normal temperatures includes Newfoundland and Labrador and other parts of Canada’s Maritime provinces, along with Ireland, Scotland and parts of the UK. It got so bad on ‘The Rock’ that a few weeks ago the weatherman at the CTV affiliate in St. John’s was “arrested” on the air and taken away by members of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary. Evidently he wasn’t in on the gag which made the moment (it was highlighted on television across the country) even more amusing. My sister, her husband, their son and his family were in Newfoundland on vacation in late July. They enjoyed it, despite the cooler than normal temperatures and they were lucky enough to have just one day of rain. But the
✃
The problem the four of us encountered last summer was that the intensity of the day-time heat turned our hotel rooms into night-time saunas. Many hotels there advertise air conditioning but in reality the systems installed often aren’t up to the task or only some rooms have air while the majority are – well, air-less. We stayed several nights in a hostelry on busy O’Connell Street in central Dublin. It is billed as one of the finest in the capital and certainly the lobby and public areas lived up to that reputation. The rooms themselves were small and rather uninspiring and the plumbing, which is almost always a mystery to foreigners who wash up on those shores, was among the oddest we have experienced. I did reserve air-conditioned rooms. And true, there was a unit over the door of our unit that purported to be an air conditioner. But once activated the air emanating from it wasn’t remotely cool and the fan was malfunctioning. The noisy device created a racket that not even Rip Van Winkle could have slept through. We had arrived in the city on a late night train from Galway in the west of the republic. It was so uncomfortably hot that I asked the front desk staff to find us a better room. That meant Kathleen, who was thoroughly exhausted
My wife and I are planning a trip to Ireland and England and judging by the weather reports from friends and family across the pond we will be preparing for wet conditions. I will go equipped with a brand new raincoat that is totally waterproof. Because believe me, when it rains in Ireland and the United Kingdom there is no room for “rain resistant” jackets. It is waterproof or you can resign yourself to a thorough soaking! We could be forgiven if we went to the Republic of Ireland with a nonchalant attitude about the possibility of rain. Last June, in the company of Carleton Place friends Wendy and Frank LeBlanc, we braved the longest heatwave in recent memory in the southern part of the island. The mercury climbed north of 30C day after day, setting all kinds of Irish summer records in the process. In nearly two weeks the only place we experienced rainfall was during a brief (two-day) stay in Belfast and Northern Ireland. The larger southern part of the country remained so dry that Ireland’s reputation as one of the greenest places on earth was under threat for a time. Humidity isn’t really a problem in Ireland though. The cool winds of the Atlantic sweep across the nation most days and sometimes it can be downright cold even in the normally temperate summer months of June through September.

Province seeking input on framework to better conserve wetlands

with Carleton Place for 23 years. Like most of the UK’s far north, Scotland has been battered by intense rain and high winds in recent weeks. Scots have shivered in cold temperatures at a time when they should be enjoying a brief respite from their usual cold, damp conditions. If you watched the British Open golf tournament, played at the old course in St. Andrew’s in July, then you know how poor the weather has been there. No summer I phoned our friend Isobel McEwan in Comrie two weeks ago. She made it clear how awful the summer of 2015 has been. “There’s been no summer Jeff. And as you know our season is always so short. We have had heavy rain and really chilly weather for weeks. In fact we’re on flood watch here today,” Isobel outlined. Comrie lies at the edge of the Highlands, at the confluence of three rivers. In August and October 2012 the village experienced two devastating floods which forced scores of people from their homes for many months until repairs could be made. Planned flood remediation work was immediately stepped up. So far this summer
tourism. The review will help inform the government in developing a wetland strategic plan. “Ontario remains committed to protecting wetlands and the rich natural biodiversity these areas support. Wetlands are threatened by habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, and pollution. Together we can find better ways to stop the loss of our wetlands,” said Bill
the dikes have held. “But my sister and I have not been able to take our weekly summer outings the way we usually do because the weather has been so foul,” Isobel lamented. She wanted Kathy and me to come and visit her when we are overseas. We’re usually there every second year or so. I told her she had just done a very poor job of selling Comrie and Scotland. “I think we will stick with Ireland and England. It will probably be wet enough in those places,” I chuckled. So yes, we are now preparing for our expedition which will include six nights in Dublin and six in busy London, arguably our favourite city in the world. And we will be prepared with waterproof coats and brollies at the ready. Our history in London includes a couple of forgettable weather experiences. Anyone familiar with the British capital can tell you the weather is very fickle. I well remember the day we got caught in an absolute deluge in Piccadilly Circus, one of the busiest public squares in the world. Before we left our hotel in the west end Kathy asked me to check the conditions so we could decide what we needed to take with us. A quick look outside revealed sunny skies.

A discussion paper is available at http://www.ontario.ca/ ministry-natural-resources-andforestry and Ontarians are invited to send their feedback online or by mail. Providing new, sustainable ways to manage key natural resources is part of the government’s economic plan to build
Ontario up. The four-part plan includes investing in people’s talents and skills, making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history, creating a dynamic and innovative environment where business thrives, and building a secure retirement savings plan. “Ducks Unlimited Canada applauds the government for moving forward on the Premier’s commitment to reverse the trend of wetland loss,” said Lynette Mader, Ducks Unlimitnounced it would be “a fair day” ed Canada’s manager of provinwith only a 20 per cent chance of “sharp showers.” We opted for umbrellas instead of raincoats. A very bad plan as it turned out. While we were walking through Leicester Square on the way to nearby Piccadilly the wind suddenly intensified, dark clouds appeared in the sky and suddenly the rain literally bucketed down. Sharp showers indeed! We don’t invest in expensive brollies because they break or are lost so easily. The cheap cover we were carrying quickly blew inside out as the wind gusted between buildings. We were soaked to the skin! So, our planned day in Central London took a distinct twist. After the rain let up, which happened quickly, we walked with water squishing inside our shoes to a bus stop we know outside Her Majesty’s Theatre Haymarket. The Phantom of the Opera has played at that historic venue continuously since 1986. We were looking for the No. 94 bus. Ringing wet, we returned to the hotel for a change of clothes and a switch in plans. A small piece of advice. If you opt for a holiday in Ireland or England always carry a raincoat!

cial operations for Ontario. “An overarching plan would provide a clearer path forward for industry and the conservation community. We look forward to working with the Province and others during this review to conserve critical wetland resources and increase the resilience of Ontario communities.” Facts about wetlands • Wetlands are areas that have been saturated with water long enough for the soil to become waterlogged. This allows
water-loving or water-tolerant plants to grow and thrive, thus contributing to the health of our biodiversity. • Wetland ‘conservation’ includes protection, restoration, management and stewardship. • Ontario established the first elements of its wetland conservation framework in the mid-1980s. It included policy guidance, a wetland evaluation system and partnerships. Submitted by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

In partnership with
Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus returns from a successful AMO conference tion Steven Del Duca to discuss the deterioration of the quality of asphalt in Ontario; Minister of Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal, to discuss EOWC priorities in general; and a large “multi-ministerial” meeting, attended by Minister of Municipal Affairs Ted McMeekin, Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure Brad Duguid, Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli, and Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Safety and Correctional Services. The EOWC used this panel as a forum
to advance its priority issues with key cabinet members. In addition to issues already mentioned, the EOWC took the opportunity to raise several other important issues for local taxpayers, including the increasing cost of policing and joint and several liability, where municipalities can be forced to pick up the tab in lawsuits where they may be found as little as one per cent at fault. While at the conference, EOWC members met with members of both the Progressive Conservative
and NDP caucuses. Discussion was again centered around the priorities of the EOWC, and how to best advance the interests of rural eastern Ontario. Eric Duncan, warden of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry and chair of the caucus, said “It is important that the EOWC continues to take every available opportunity to advance its issues, and the annual AMO conference is a great venue to meet with not only elected government officials, but opposition MPPs,
key staff members, and external organizations such as the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. This year, I think we achieved our goal of having very frank conversations about important topics with a wide variety of people, as we continue to work collectively to effectively represent the interests of the residents and businesses of our region of Ontario.” Lanark County councillors met directly with Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli to discuss electricity rates for rural customers and increased access to natural gas.
“We had the opportunity to talk directly with Minister Chiarelli,” said Lanark County warden Keith Kerr (Tay Valley Reeve). “His ministry supports our position on the natural gas file. We will continue to press Enbridge to increase distribution of natural gas for our rural residents, farms and businesses. We need the expansion of natural gas to happen in a timely manner to provide energy price relief to residents and allow our businesses to compete and prosper.” Submitted by the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus.

Aug. 20, members of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) returned from the annual Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference, held in Niagara Falls between Aug. 15 and 19. The EOWC is comprised of the heads of council of the 13 county and single tier municipalities of eastern Ontario. The EOWC focuses its efforts on advocacy for the 750,000 residents of rural eastern Ontario, developing positions based on research and the interests of its taxpayers. Priority issues for the EOWC in 2015 are equitable infrastructure funding, closing existing cellular coverage gaps (broadband coverage to facilitate better business and emergency response communication), and access to natural gas for rural residents. At the conference, EOWC members met with its counterpart organization in western Ontario, the Western Ontario Warden’s Caucus and the Eastern Ontario Mayor’s Committee (EOMC), to discuss issues of mutual importance and concern. Most notably, at the joint EOWC/EOMC meeting, members ratified the terms of reference for the formation of a Leadership Council, to guide the implementation of the Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy. That document, approved in 2014 as a partnership between the EOWC and the EOMC, forms the basis for implementing a truly regional strategy to facilitate economic growth and development throughout all of rural eastern Ontario. Highlights of the conference included dedicated meetings with several elected provincial officials, including Minister of Transporta-

Sophie is a bit shy too as she does not understand her change in her living situation. She needs time to adjust hopefully soon in her forever home together with Joey. Both cats are very healthy and good looking. We think they are about 14 months of age. Joey is a handsome orange tabby cat and Sophie is a mix of orange tabby and some white.

important to spread the word. The Ontario AMBER Alert program utilizes social media to effect the dissemination of child abduction information. The viral power of social media enables us to reach hundreds of thousands of Canadians within mere moments of an alert going out. Ontario AMBER Alert has maintained a Facebook page to communicate AMBER Alert information since 2010. The page currently has a following of approximately 185,000. It has been found to be very effective and, on occasion, has been used to communicate other child safety messaging. Ontario AMBER Alert created a Twitter account, “AMBER Alert Ontario” in 2014. The account has in excess of 10,000 followers and has been utilized during AMBER Alert activations to communicate information to the public. This account has also been used to gain public attention during a number of high-risk missing children’s cases. Toronto-based Social Horse Power (SocialHP. com) is partnering with the AMBER Alert program bringing technology that will allow social media users to donate their social media feeds in the event of an AMBER Alert. This system interacts with Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. Social media users can donate their social media feeds to the Ontario AMBER Alert program by registering

community to donate their Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn status in order to disseminate abduction information created by the AMBER Alert team. Users always have the ability to vet the messaging and the information generated by trusted AMBER Alert sites will post directly to the newsfeeds of the respective social media application in the form of a status update. This technology has been successfully used by the Missing Children’s Society of Canada (MCSC) since May of 2012. In January of this year, Facebook unveiled a new program in the United States that allows it to target a defined area with AMBER Alert Activation information at the time of a child abduction incident. This notification system is now available in Ontario and elsewhere in Canada. The information is viewed through a responsive design poster that has the ability to format itself based on the screen size the alert is being viewed on. The poster will be available in both French and English. The poster will also appear on www.opp.ca during any AMBER Alert activation. The Facebook geo-targeted delivery system will post a notification on all Facebook users’ newsfeeds within a pre-determined radius of the last known location. The program enhancements were officially launched in May. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

All that’s left are the stories after the music’s gone
Touching story There are usually stories that reach me after the fact and this one really touched me. Dave Gunning is from Cape Breton, having extensively toured with the late John Allan Cameron and has played several house concerts around the area in the past
as well as previously playing our festival. Based on an inspirational song co-written by Dave Gunning and George Canyon entitled These Hands, they’ve created a children’s book that teaches us that every person has the ability to be a hero of the human kind. It had been scheduled for Dave to lead a Saturday morning workshop to teach those who attended to be his ‘back up singers’ for his playing of These Hands when he took the festival stage later in the day. Through some miss-communication Dave hadn’t heard about this and thankfully Tara MacKenzie of the MacKenzie Blues Band filled in. Knowing Dave as I do, he would never have knowingly skipped and felt bad about it. He was quite appreciative of all those who did back him up. What I heard later was that Dave went and played the song at St. Paul’s United in Perth for their Sunday morning service. Pretty nice recovery, Dave. I can’t help but also mention the wonderful performance on the Wendy Laut Stage on Sunday afternoon entitled If the Spirit Moves You by Samantha Martin, Dave Gunning, Matthew Byrne and Tara MacKenzie. We were
all ‘saved’ again. Here is my number one highlight though for this year. As I slipped in front of the stage, between the dancers to take some pics of Delta Sugar on Sunday afternoon, a dancing couple grabbed my arm, pulled me over and said “thank you.” I nodded and said “Thanks, but it’s really a community effort,” to which he says, “No, thank you! Nine years ago today we met, dancing right here!” Now isn’t that what makes it all worth it? It is for me.

He’s also been working with one of my favourite musicians, Gary Louris of the Jayhawks, on Gary’s own solo projects, to barely scratch the surface. He’s loving twisting the knobs and gets to stay off the road and enjoy his family more, while still playing with incredible performers from all over. I’d been encouraging a country music component to our festival and finally had it realized this year by the Sunday Afternoon Country Jamboree, ably hosted by Wade Foster in the Crystal Palace which proved to be a hit, being well attended and likely to continue next year. It was so nice to see Neville Wells back singing as well as Carleton Place’s Brea Lawrenson who is currently getting rave reviews and lots of air play nationally for her single Canadian Pearl from her new album, Brealieve. She’s played Bluesfest, Navan Fair, Lombardy Fair, Westport Music Festival, will play the 170th Perth Fair in a couple of weeks and has again been nominated to perform a Showcase at the Canadian Country Music Awards in Halifax in September. Way to go, Brea!

After helping pack up Stewart Park Festival for another year, it sure was lovely to be able to get together and spend some relaxing time with my family and slowly re-energize, just in time to go to another successful Blue Skies Music Festival. In doing so I also reminisced in my mind, back to some of those ‘special moments’ that seem to happen each year during Stewart Park Festival. Having already having spent five days in and around the park helping set up, its always a memorable time hearing the music finally start, on stage, Friday afternoon. The Youth Showcase featured proof we are in good hands musically, as all presented with skill, musicality and shone with the sheer joy of playing on stage in their own town. It also helps the festival become multigenerational in that two of them (Isaac Matthews, Wednesday Parnell) had previously watched their parents play on stage in years gone by. Seventeen years young, Henry Norwood, our local country star showed us why he earned the right earlier this year in a multi-appearance playdown elimination contest to open for Rhonda Vincent at the Havelock Country Jamboree that was held recently. His professional performance and obvious enjoyment he had up there was gratifying for us all who have watched and encouraged his growth. Hearing Kelly Prescott is always a treat but hearing her sing along with her parents, Tracey Brown and Randall Prescott always touches me. Again, Lanark’s youth proudly strutting their stuff. PEI’s Catherine MacLellan always brings some magic to the stage. I spoke to her backstage as we’d met a couple of times previously and she was telling me how she is, just now, starting to get more comfortable singing some of her father’s (the late Gene MacLellan) masterful songs. He had written Snowbird for Anne Murray as well as the gospel classic from 1971 by Ocean, entitled Put Your Hand in the Hand and she now weaves them into her own beautiful songs. Having seen the lineup months ago, I can admit now, I was worried about the 14-piece band with eight horns, Sons of the Hurricane performing in the glass room known as the Crystal Palace because the sound bounced around in there so badly. Luckily, through much championing by festival chair John McKenty, sound baffles designed by Jon Van Wingerden were installed permanently, the day before and, as a result, the sound was truly wonderful. What a relief! This opens up this space to far more potential use for musical events in the future. Thanks John and Town of Perth. It was nice to get caught up with locally-raised James McKenty, up on stage backing Peterborough’s wonderful Melissa Payne.

It was an afternoon of peace, to aid women are far from peace in their lives. The Loving You Wellness Day, to benefit Lanark County Interval House, was held at the Angels Roost Organic Spa in Beckwith Township on Saturday, Aug. 22. Above, is this your card? Angel card reader Leanne Dwyer holds up a card picked by Zachary Robillard, aged 10-monthsold, held by his mother Leslee Robillard. Right, Westport’s own Delvalle is seen here with some of her creations from her Art on Centre store.

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society caps summer off with garden show Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society is finishing off the summer with its biannual Garden Show Saturday, Aug. 29 at the Elgin Community Centre. The show is open to anyone to exhibit cherished flowers, foliage and produce, and to come out and see what gardeners in the area have been up to this summer. Exhibitors register their exhibits from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m., judging (closed to the public) takes place from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the exhibits are open for public viewing from 2 to 4 p.m., when awards are presented, and exhibitors pick up their items by 5 p.m. There’s a natural reluctance to exhibit in a garden show. “I don’t like to compete,” “My flowers (or vegetables) aren’t good enough”, “I don’t know enough about shows,” are all some of the things people tell themselves when the opportunity to exhibit arises. The RLHS’ own doyenne of the garden show has stepped up to this challenge and provides her top 10 tips to make exhibiting easy-peasy and the thrill it should be: 10. Speaking of easy, here’s an apt one to start off. Name your plants! Yes, it is that easy. Clearly and accurately label the specimens in your exhibit, and you get points! 9. Garden shows are one place where Colour does matter. What you want is that the colour of your specimen is what you’d expect for that cultivar – including the variegation, if it’s a variegated cultivar. What can one say? Judges don’t like the unexpected! 8. Size isn’t everything in a garden show, but it does count and maybe not the way you might suppose. Think like Goldilocks: not too big, not too small, but just right – the size you’d expect a specimen of that particular cultivar to be. Remember what was just said about judges? 7. There are a host of sub-criteria that fall under the characteristic that judges label,”Quality” – everything from the physical condition of the plant (not too young, but definitely not over-mature!) to substance – the firmness of the leaf or bloom that enables it to keep its characteristic form, freshness and colour. This is why there’s what’s called a “schedule” for the garden show. Read it, there’s lots of good information there. It’s on the RLHS website. 6. Healthy and unblemished foli-
ENERGY $AVING$! Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.
age, whether it’s a flower/fruit exhibit or a foliage exhibit, is essential. The arrangement of leaves (and florets) on a stem should have an even and pleasing balance. A foliage exhibit needs to highlight the interest and attractiveness the leaves of that cultivar typically provide. Like Fats Waller sang, “Find out what they want, and how they want it, and give it to them just that way!” 5. It’s a show, for goodness sakes! All your little plants and flowers want to look their very best. And, just like when you get all dressed up for a night on the town, this means grooming! Remove all those tell-tale signs of spray, dust, insects and other foreign aspects (in other words, the dandruff of plant life). Cut off faded or wilted petals or leaves (those unruly eyebrow hairs of the plant!). 4. Here’s a goodie. I bet you don’t
use this word everyday: Floriferousness. Doesn’t that just roll off the tongue and say what it means? Abundance of high quality bloom or fruit. Some show exhibits are all about being, well, showy! Duh! But if showy isn’t your bag, then pick one of the other 50 classes that don’t cry out for “Floriferousness”. 3. We’re getting close to the end, here, so we’re into the big stuff: Distinction! You want your specimen to stand out above all other specimens. To be markedly superior in all respects. In short, to be as close as possible to absolute perfection. Judges don’t ask for much. Uh-huh. 2. The top points for any exhibit are for what judges refer to as form and symmetry. Form is the overall shape of the plant, bloom, leaf or stem and has to be characteristic of the cultivar. (Back to no surprises!) Symmetry is
the overall balance and proportion of your exhibit – not top or bottom heavy or lop-sided, each aspect relative pleasingly to another – blooms to stems or foliage, container to plant. Step back. Take a good long last look. Does it bring you joy? 1. And the #1 tip for exhibiting at a garden show? Have fun! The exhibit divisions in the RLHS show comprise all the usual categories: cut flowers, roses, potted plants, grasses, cut foliage, and vegetables and fruits. There is also a special exhibit or display division, with three classes: a collection of five herbs, a pot-et-fleur (growing plants and cut flowers assembled in one container) and a planter. The theme of this year’s design division is Celebrating Canada, and consists of six classes: Canadian Flag (red and white), Niagara Falls
(waterfall design), Canadian Collection (native plants), Canadian Shield (incorporating stones), Bountiful (locally grown fruits and vegetables) and Solitude (water-viewing design). The amateur photography contest also evokes the Canadian spirit. Its five classes consist of: Four Strong Winds (Canadian weather patterns), Born To Be Wild (children at play), Life is a Highway (a Canadian highway), Harvest Moon (fruits or vegetables), and Sundown (a sunset or evening shot of a garden). Pre-registration is not required. You can find more details on judging criteria and exhibit classes in the garden show schedule on the society’s website: https://sites.google.com/site/ rideaulakeshorticultural/. Yvonne Helwig is in charge of publicity for the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society.

Fossils reveal beluga whales once populated Ottawa Valley Many people are surprised when told that the Ottawa Valley was once covered by water. Today, that ancient water covering is referred to as the Champlain Sea, for it existed thousands of years ago. Lac Champlain in the upper states of New York and Vermont is the only remnant of this once great body of water. There are also fossils and other clues which remain scattered across the region but most of these are recognizable to only those who are actually looking for them.
Tales from the Troubadour LyLe diLLabough
So imagine the surprise which came to a group of pit workers when they came across a number of large bones while digging during the mid 1960s. This occurred at sites located near Pakenham, White Lake, Pembroke and Ottawa. And
they were likely even more puzzled when they eventually learned these were whale bones that they had discovered while doing their excavations. Beluga whales to be precise and these specimens averaged between 35 to 60 feet in length! Long ago nature had buried them beneath the sand and clay where they remained intact until their eventual discovery. The discovery not only confirmed the once existence of the Champlain Sea; it also provided scientists with clues into the
nature and enviroment of this pre-historic body of water. It is said too, that age-old fish such as Sturgeon in the Ottawa River can be traced back to these same origins. Something to think about. The next time you are digging in your back yard you might want to keep this all in mind and take a good look at what comes up. And although everyone knows that whales are technically in the mammal family, either way one looks at it, that is one big fish!

First ever ‘Fill the Bus’ campaign coming to Kemptville jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Ready. Set. Fill the bus! The first ever ‘Fill the Bus’ campaign in support of the House of Lazarus in Mountain, is coming to Kemptville. On Friday, Aug. 28, make sure to pop by Jonsson’s Independent Grocer between 10 to 11:30 a.m. or Wal-Mart between 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., where you will find a Lannin bus filled with volunteers seeking non-perishable food items for the House of Lazarus food bank. The bus will then head to Andy’s Foodland in Winchester, where it will remain from 1 to 2:30 p.m. “Lannin Bus Lines in Chesterville generously donated the use of two buses and two drivers for the day,” said Kim Merkley, Manager of Client Services at the House of Lazarus. She explained one bus will kick off the ‘Fill the Bus’ campaign in Kemptville and the other will start in Iroquois. “We’ve joined forces with the Dundas County Food Bank,” said Merkley. “The Dundas group is starting in Iroquois.” The second bus, collecting food for the Dundas County Food Bank, will be at the Iroquois Foodland from 10 to 11:30 a.m., the Giant Tiger in

She explained the House of Lazarus functions solely on donations. “We don’t receive any operJennifer Westendorp/METROLAND ating funds,” said Hewton.

Sewage woes a thing of the past at Fetherston Park From the front
Clearford will be providing a $1million solution to the park’s sanitation problems with their innovative wastewater collection and treatment system. The system, Clearford One, promises to be an excellent solution for communal sewage and water treatment situations. Each of the approximately 50 mobile homes will be hooked up to several centralized wastewater treatment tanks, which in turn will pass the wastewater to a mini water treatment building. The system operates as a sewage treatment plant used for a much bigger community. The Clearford One is “designed, installed, funded, and operated by Clearford Water Utility Inc. under a 30 year service agreement with the Fetherston Mobile Home Park Association. The association will be paying $221.24 plus HST per month per residence,” stated a press release from the Ontario company. The cost of the service will be adjusted annually to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index. “The system is scheduled to be operational before year end 2015. This Clearford Pay for Performance deliv-
ery model is available to municipalities in Ontario and was announced in January of 2015,” stated the press release. Residences will be connected by a small-bore flexible pipe network called ClearConvey to special tanks using a process called ClearDigest and from there to a water treatment centre on site. The system will be using a packaged Membrane BioReactor supplied to Clearford by Koester-Team Aquatic, (KTA). The operation of the Fetherston system has been contracted to KTA. Maurice Dumoulin the president of the Fetherston Mobile Home Park Association was on hand for the special ground-breaking moment. “It has been a long battle,” said Dumoulin. “We have been working on this just about every day.” After it was determined that the existing park sewage system was not working properly the Ministry of the Environment ordered the municipality of North Grenville to look after emptying the sewage holding tanks for residents on a regular basis. This began in 2008 and the alternative was for residents to leave the park and their homes permanently. The community association worked with the municipality to broker the
deal that in 2015 sees the park viable once more. There is room for another 90 residences at the park and the association plans to see those spots filled. The only provision is that the new residences be modular homes. The association president said the hard work and tenacity of Karen Dunlop the municipality’s director of public works as well as municipal staff and park residents is the reason the park is where it is today. North Grenville Mayor David Gordon said he remembered making a promise during his first term in office to see the Fetherston crises through to the end. “This has gone on for 20 years,” he said. “They wanted it done right and now it is right,” said Gordon. “Now this park is a home.” The mayor said that Clearford had kept its promise to come up with a viable solution for Fetherston residents and they have. “This celebration would not have happened without Clearford,” he said. Michael Jiggins speaking for MPP Steve Clark said it had been a long journey. He mentioned that MPP Clark had been following the issue closely. He said that the MPP was confident a solution would be found. “People in eastern Ontario rolled up their sleeves,” he said.
Dunlop the director of public works for North Grenville has been working on the municipal side of the project alongside North Grenville CAO Brian Carré. She said, “It has been a long time coming.” She explained the system is a combination of just proven technology. She said she feels as Kevin Loiselle, president and CEO of Clearford Water Systems Inc. does, that the Clear One system will also serve as a showcase of what Clearford can do. When Carré arrived in North Grenville to take the position of CAO, one of his first challenges was what to do about Fetherston Park. The municipality was already paying to have sewage removed and it looked as if there was no end in sight in resolving the problem. “This is very exciting,” Carré said as the groundbreaking event took place. “We had to take the issue and put it at the forefront. If we did not find a solution we would not be here today,” he said. The CAO said he felt that Dunlop and director of planning, Forbes Symon, were instrumental in seeing the project through. “Karen and Forbes had a real grasp of what was involved,” he said. Loiselle said he was thrilled to be able to move forward with the project.

He said it was the first of its kind in Canada and heralded a new way to deal with communal wastewater services. North Grenville and Fetherston Park will be the first to have the system. Loiselle said that without the perseverance of Maurice Dumoulin the project would not have gone through. “It was a challenge for us, too,” he said. “This will be the foundation of our delivery model, Clearford One. It was developed around this product.” Loiselle said that his engineers worked for a year designing the system and the end result is creating opportunities for more efficient communal wastewater treatment systems across the country. This week he said that his company finalized plans to install a Clearford One system in India. “It is a small tribal village about the same size as the park,” said Loiselle. “We believe that Clearford One and the Pay for Performance delivery model will allow many communities in Ontario to meet wastewater management needs without being burdened by debt and with full life cycle services charges significantly lower that the cost of conventional systems,” said Loiselle. The tank itself that will be doing most of the work in the system is expected to last for at least 100 years.

Seniors activities at Cheryl J. Brown Centre
SNC summer program employs 16 summer students South Nation Conservation (SNC) is pleased to recruit 16 talented summer students, through the summer program. “We’re proud to be in the position of giving talented students jobs,” said SNC General Manger Dennis O’Grady, noting that for some, SNC becomes “their first employer after graduation.” From working in the field conducting surveys with forestry and fisheries staff to working in an office setting or delivering education programs, students have the opportunity to gain experience in more than one department over the course of the summer.

Four North Gower residents win big at Hereford Show ‘Bonanza’ Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Showing cows is a family affair. Four local kids from the same family – siblings and cousins – won big at the recent Canadian National Junior Hereford Show. The Bonanza, as the show is commonly called, was held in Fredericton, NB, from July 29 to Aug. 1. Owen and Camryn Grundy, along with their cousins, Justin McLaughin and Rebecca Hess, took home three grand champion titles and a first place prize. Participants were judged in showmanship, their ability to deliver speeches and artistic work, such as photo collages. All participants also took part in the Great Griller Cook-Off, which was part of the bonanza. “It’s all very kid oriented,” said Chris Grundy, Owen and Camryn’s dad. “The kids do it all.” All the cows used at the bonanza came from the Grundy family farm, NBG Polled Herefords in North Gower, which was started by Burt ‘Grandpa’ Grundy back in the 1990s. His grandchildren are continuing the tradition. Camryn took a yearling, Rebecca and Owen took calves and Justin took a yearling bull to

Camryn and Rebecca competed in the peewee division (eight and under), Owen in the junior division (between nine and 12) and Justin in the senior division (between 17 and 21) of the event. Owen Owen Grundy, 11, is going into Grade 7 at North Grenville District High School in Kemptville. His favorite subject is gym because “you get to move around.” He grew up with cows. “They are fun to work with,” said Owen. “I’ve been working with them for five years.”He said
he really enjoys the genetic aspect of breeding cows. “Who their mom was, their dad and all their relatives,” said Owen. “What you get from breeding an Angus cow with a Hereford bull, that sort of thing.” This is the fourth time he has competed at the bonanza. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said, noting he has a few favorite cows, including The Wonderer and Goggles. “We give them all nicknames,” said Owen. He won Junior Grand Champion Showperson at this year’s bonanza. “It was really exciting,” he said
Camryn Camryn Grundy, 8, is going into Grade 3 at South Branch Elementary School in Kemptville. Her favorite subject in school is gym because she gets to play games. “I like playing Dr. Dodgeball,” she said. Her favorite animal is a cow because they are “different.” She too, grew up with cows and has been showing them for the past three years. “My favorite is Heatwave because she’s different from all the other ones,” said Camryn. She likes the bonanza because she gets to see her friends and enjoys “going into the ring.” She won first place in showmanship in the peewee division. “It felt really good,” said Camryn.
becoming good friends with everyone.” He said the bonanza is a great place to meet people one’s own age, with similar interests. “I have solid bonanza friends,” said Justin. “We keep in touch and then see each other once a year.” His true passion is clipping (grooming). “It’s an art,” he said. “I’m very finicky about the cow’s appearance.” He became interested in clipping about five years ago, after going out west to the World Hereford Conference. He said showing cows enables people to learn new skills. “People skills and how to deal with certain problems, other than day-to-day stuff,” said Justin. “You learn a lot.” He won Senior Grand Champion for Showmanship, taking home one of two bonanza belt buckles awarded to competitors. “I’m still learning,” said Justin, who enjoys passing on his experience and knowledge to his sister and cousins. “I’m going to keep doing this as long as I can.”
Justin Justin McLaughin, 18, is going into his second year at Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke, Que. He is studying economics and hopes to run his own restaurant someday. “I enjoy cooking,” said Justin. He has been around cows all Rebecca his life and has been showing Rebecca Hess, 9, is going into them since the age of four. Grade 4 at Rideau Public School “I like doing it,” said Justin. in Kars. Her favorite subject in “All the people you meet and school is French, because it’s a
“cool language.” She likes cows because they are “cute and fluffy. Fun to groom. They are a different kind of animal than cats and dogs.” She too has grown up around the animals and started showing them when she was three. “Gypsy is my favorite,” said Rebecca. “She’s gentle, calm and I’ve known her all my life.” Rebecca said she enjoys showing cows because she gets to see her friends at the bonanza every year. She also likes going into the ring. She won Grand Champion for Heifer Calf and Peewee Showperson. “I was shocked,” said Rebecca. She’s only missed the bonanza once since she was born. All four were presented ribbons with their respective titles and the winning cows were awarded banners. They also took home cow showing related prizes. Out of the four members of the same family, three ended up back in the Champion Showperson ring at the end of the bonanza. “It’s very rare to see four kids from the same family place, let alone get named champions,” said Jennifer Hess, Rebecca and Justin’s mom. “It’s cool. All our kids won first place in their splits.”

The cost of healthy eating
I
love food. Steak and shrimp are by far my two favourite things to eat. You could say I have expensive tastes in food, but I prefer to think of it as a refined palate. I know what tastes good and I know what tastes gross, basically. For instance, packaged food is not for me. I can’t stand the synthetic flavours or textures. I would rather chew on cardboard. The fact something in a package doesn’t expire for years on end also freaks me out quite a bit. Putting preservatives in my body is like agreeing to an embalming prior to death. Thanks, but no thanks. As you all know, food is expensive. The price of a pound of apples (although currently down a bit) has tripled in the last decade. For a person who eats two apples every day, that sucks big time. What sucks more is trying to feed a family of five, while coping with rising food costs. Let me be clear – I am a cheap person, through and through. I don’t buy new clothes, for myself or my children - second hand all the way. The same with shoes and toys and everything aside from socks and underwear, which I do buy new for obvious reasons. Spending money isn’t really my thing. The cheaper the better. Except for when it comes to food. And the safety of my kids, which is why I buy quality food. Every single week, after loading my cart

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION
with fruits, vegetables, bread, meat, milk, cheese and yogurt, I head up to the cash with a guess in my mind as to the final tally of my purchases. I am rarely right and it’s always more than I expect. Because to purchase enough meat for my family, for a single dinner – we try to only eat meat once a day – costs roughly $15. And I buy meat that’s on sale, not whatever I like best. So every week, that’s over $100 just for meat. The vegetables and fruit, which my kids eat like candy, costs over $50. A week’s supply of milk is about $30. Cheese and yogurt together cost about $20 per week (even on sale) and bread is about $10. That’s over $200 per week for staple food items to feed my family. Then there’s the juice and granola bars and other snack foods. On average, I spend about $300 per week on food. That’s more than half of what I make in a week. And I haven’t even begun paying bills. The worst part is my kids are still young and food prices are just going to continue rising. I think maybe it’s time to buy a farm.

Eight years of life as The Farmer’s Wife
o Farmer Fisher on our 8th Anniversary. It’s been eight years since you and I exchanged vows under the arbour you built for us at the farm. It was blowing a gale that day, but the rain held off and we have wonderful photos taken by a great family friend to remember that August 25, 2007. Dad made it to the wedding. He was told he might be in the hospital recovering from surgery but he was determined he wasn’t going to watch me marry you on video. He wanted to walk me down the aisle, and he did. He also danced with me, for half a song, before he had to pass me over to you so he could go home and take a nap. The excitement of the day, the heat and posing for photos tired him right out. I am so very grateful that he was able to share the day with us. We did not know at that point that his condition was terminal and that we would have him with us just five more months. You have a very practical, simple view of life, and so you may not real-
The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher
ize, my love, that you have done miraculous things. You are the glue that holds this family together, and it just comes naturally to you. We hadn’t lived together before marriage, so you were taking many chances when you made a commitment to me and my three girls. You didn’t know how we would work out finances, or living with teenagers, or even who would make most of the meals. Funny how those things just worked themselves out (and I agree the fire department doesn’t have to visit as often if we let you do most of the cooking.) Occasionally I am reminded that other couples argue about things. They are unfair to each other, jealous of each other. Unforgiving and resent-
ful. It’s been eight years and we have never really had a fight. It’s not because we agree on everything – it’s because you are so fair. That is all. Everything you do has a reason behind it. Your love is deliberate and obvious. You put us first, in everything. You accepted my children as your own. They have never doubted your commitment to them and you have given them a safe place to call home. Through your fabulous Sunday dinners you have opened our home to our extended family week after week. As these gatherings swelled beyond our dining room table, you calmly drew up plans for a three-season sun room and built it to accommodate the crowd. You set the tone, and the unspoken rules. Everyone knows family dinner is about acceptance, respect and celebration of each and every member of this extended family, which sometimes includes special friends. I often think, without this weekly reservation, our children, siblings, parents and friends would just go
about their daily lives and we would lose track of each other. Without this family dinner that we have made important, we might see some of our loved ones only a few times a year. Back to the love. Thank you for insisting on our time together each day but also insisting on our time to ourselves. Our morning coffee and our weekday lunches. Thank you for filling my tires, taking the squeak out of my truck, and hosing down the doghouse area when I complain about it. I appreciate your being so generous with your time, your money and the TV remote.
Thank you giving me space when I’m moody, a shoulder to cry on when I am down, and a number one fan when I succeed. I don’t think I’ve improved as a cook and I certainly don’t make any more money than I did when you met me. I hope you’re not disappointed. I look at photos and can’t believe that skinny little thing you married is me. You certainly know how to grow your investment. You can stop that any time now, by the way. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

Letter to the Editor
Man’s best friend is not always a cyclist’s best bud Dear Editor:
I live out here, in the countryside south of Ottawa. I love where I live, and I love to get out on my bike and go for a ride as often as I can. Having grown up on the bike paths of Ottawa and enjoyed the freedom of being able to get on and just go for a ride that could last for hours. I’m not the only one. It’s not at all unusual to see the local roads swarming with cyclists in racing gear on bikes that cost as much as a monthly mortgage payment. I’m not one of them. Sure, I wear Spandex and a helmet, but my ride is a steel-framed hybrid that cost a fraction of what the local Tour de France crowd ride. It also weighs a lot more. I bought it for its versatility, not speed, so I can ride roads ranging from dirt to hardpack and paved roads. And I love being able to explore the back roads. That’s part of the joy of living in the country. However, there is one huge drawback that going for a bike ride in the country can present, which was never an issue during my years in Ottawa. That issue is loose dogs. Let me be quick to say that 95 per cent of all dog owners are great.
They keep their dog confined when they’re not home, and when they are home and loose in the yard, keep it under control. But as always happens, the remaining five per cent of dog owners are not so great, in my opinion. They think it’s fine for their dog to run loose out onto the road and chase cyclists, joggers and anyone choosing to go for a walk. If you complain to them, I have heard excuses like – “My dog is protecting my property”, “My dog won’t hurt you”, “My dog just wants to play chase”, “My dog is a livestock guardian so I can’t keep it confined”, “My dog is great with the kids”. Oh, and of course: “You shouldn’t be biking on the roads in the first place!” All of these excuses don’t fly with me. For one, I am a human being. I outrank any dog on the planet. I have rights, and they include the right to expect to be able to go for a bike ride, any time of any day, and return home in one piece. None of the dogs I’ve been chased by have ever been small breeds. They’ve been a mastiff, a pitbull, an Irish wolfhound cross, and a hound/setter mix. None of these dogs gave any warning barks - one minute I’m biking along,
GARDENER’S CORNER
Angie
Angie is my partner, my wife, and my friend. She is a gardener’s gardener. She is not afraid to get into the soil and do anything to nurture plants. She delights in weeding. I’m glad, I don’t. When we visit a nursery, she is alive. She loads up nursery carts with the plants that she just can’t resist. She is having fun. She is making our garden. She is a librarian. She reads. She has a stack of books beside her bedside table that would rival the Library of Congress. You never want to go head to head with her on “Jeopardy”, you’ll lose. This October we will have been married 41 years. 41 years of conflict, compromise, compassion and passion. We spend our free time in the garden. We grow things. We have three great kids and now a grandson. The other day she found this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. It sums up why we do the things we do. “To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.” Now I’m retired, I have time. Time to work
and the next thing I know there’s a dog weighing at least 50 lbs coming after me. And how long the chase will last is up to the dog. The mastiff chased me for at least a mile before it finally gave up. Thank god I was on a road bike at the time. Furthermore, cyclists, joggers and pedestrians are generally strangers to the dog; we have no idea what their intention is. We have no idea what the dog will do should it actually get ahold of us, and we don’t want to know. We’re not interested in going on your property, we’re just passing by. We’re not trying to make your dog leave your property; just the opposite. We want your dog to stay on your property, that simple. And, in case you were wondering, you don’t own the road. The road is public property. Is it too much to ask to be able to ride or run or walk past your property without risking being attacked? Apparently it is. There are repeat offenders out there whom I’ve reported to bylaw - the local officer and I are now on a first-name basis. I have taken to carrying pepper spray, though I don’t want to use it. I like dogs well enough, and I know it’s R0013423925_0827
in the garden, time to spend with the ducks and chickens, time to spend with the neighbours and the family. Such a luxury. And my partner in all this is Angie. I showed her this article before I sent it off because she is my proof reader and editor. “That’s very nice, but why now? I think it’s because of what I see at Dad’s long term care facility. Most nights we kiss and go to sleep. Some nights we are angry and avoid any conversation. Those are not good nights. I suspect this is normal for any marriage but 41 years with someone you love moderates the highs and lows. I see so many couples at Dad’s home that no longer have that option. One of them is a resident. The other a visitor. And then returns home alone. The love is still there but the companionship is sporadic, and they have lost the opportunity for intimacy. I just thought it was time to tell Angie how I felt while we do have the time. And do it publicly. We have shared four decades of change. We have shared four decades of growth. We have shared four decades of love. We have the best neighbours, and family. Things could have been so much different. Things never planted, ideas never expressed, friends never met. I could not have done any of this without Angie. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com
not the dogs’ fault that they’re chasing me - as always, the fault is on the owners for failing to keep the dog on their property. I’ve had dog owners and trainers offer softy solutions, like yelling at the dog (increases the excitement factor), tossing water balloons at it (Really? And where, pray tell, on a bike am I supposed to carry a water balloon without it bursting? Furthermore, provided I can hit the dog, at best it will give the doggie a nice welcome bath, and at the worst it’ll make it angry.) Some have even suggested tossing a dog treat. Now, I used to train animals for a living, and that is complete, utter insanity. Not only would you have to carry treats, the scent of which might indeed coax other dogs chasing you, but you’re actually teaching the dog that chasing cyclists results in a reward. A few times I’ve had a standoff, where I stopped the bike, got off, made sure the pepper spray was locked and loaded, and faced the dog down. So far the dog has stood down. Problem is, there is no guarantee the dog won’t resume the chase once I get back on. If possible I get back on when I see a vehicle approaching, so should the dog come after me again, I have an eyewitness.
So how to ensure that the good dog owners are rewarded and the bad dog owners, punished? I’ve come up with a solution that is very simple and should it ever pass the snarls of red tape, would definitely make the local politicians very, very happy: Good dog owners - those who have not had any incidents regarding their dog for at least the last five years - get a two per cent break on their property taxes. The bad ones? Raise their property taxes by 25 per cent for the first incident and an additional 10 per cent for every subsequent incident. If a bad dog owner suddenly decides it’s a lot smarter to put up a run, or build a fence, or put the dog on the end of a thick chain (not a rope, dogs can chew through) or install electric fencing something tangible and effective that they can show bylaw that they have actually done something positive, then the property tax increase is revoked. But they don’t get good dog owner status for five years. I know a jogger who now has a treadmill in her basement because she had a bad incident with a dog; one of the best dog owners I know won’t go for bike rides for the same reason.

A parent’s guide to finding fire-safe student accommodation Smoke Alarms It is the law in Ontario to have working smoke alarms on every story and outside all sleeping areas. The law applies to single family, semi-detached, town homes and apartments (including basement apartments), whether owner-occupied or rented. Rooming houses have specific regulations about smoke alarms or fire alarm systems. In addition to smoke alarms within each unit or suite, apartment buildings and student residences operated by the school may also have a building fire alarm system. Make sure the landlord, administrator or superintendent identifies and explains the fire alarm and detection features in the building and unit. Carbon Monoxide Alarms The Ontario Building Code requires carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in new buildings that contain a fuel-fired appliance. However, many existing buildings were constructed prior to this requirement and may not be equipped with CO alarms. If the building has a fuelfired (natural gas, oil, propane or wood) appliance, a CO alarm should be installed. Check with the fire department or municipal office to determine if there are by-laws requiring CO alarms. Fire separations
Students often find accommodation in older homes that have been converted to apartments or rooming houses. At the time of the conversion, a building permit should have been obtained to ensure that fire safety features such as proper exits and fire separations between units are provided. Ask the owner if the property complies with the Building Code and Fire Code and to explain the fire safety features. Exits It’s important to consider how people will escape from a room or apartment in an emergency. Every room or apartment requires adequate exits that will permit unobstructed escape from the building. Make sure to ask the landlord or superintendent to identify all of the designated exits. All windows and doors should open fully and easily. Stairways and hallways must not be used for storage as this can pose serious fire safety hazards. Furniture and other obstacles can physically block exits and may fill hallways or stairways with smoke if they catch fire. This practice must be strictly avoided. Fire escape plans In a fire emergency, everyone must know what to do and where to go. Large apartment buildings and student residence buildings require a fire safety plan, which informs the occupants
about emergency procedures. Ask the building administrator or superintendent to explain the procedures in the fire safety plan. Smaller apartment buildings and houses that have been converted to apartments or lodging rooms may not have a fire safety plan, however it’s a good idea to ensure there are two ways out of the unit. The alternate way out can be a window that can be safely exited in an emergency.
tension cords. If extension cords can’t be avoided, use multi-outlet power bars that are approved and provide surge protection and a circuit breaker. Make sure that electrical cords of any kind are not concealed under carpets or rugs where they can be easily damaged. Avoid overloaded circuits and octopus wiring. For more information, contact the administration offices of the college or university. They will frequently maintain a registry of available accommodation for students. Call the local fire department to determine if the building has been inspected for Fire Code compliance. Electrical safety tips and information about common electrical hazards can be found at the Electrical Safety Authority website.
Security Some property owners install bars on windows as a security measure. While this may seem appealing from a security point of view, it can prevent students from escaping in an emergency situation. Security bars on windows should be equipped with a quickopening device on the inside so the bars can be removed quickly.

If the student’s accommodation has cooking facilities, there are some basic fire safety rules they must follow to prevent cooking fires: • a stovetop fire can start in a flash, so stay in the kitchen when something is cooking on the stove, • keep all combustible items a safe distance away from the stove. This includes tea towels, wooden or plastic spoons and paper towels, • keep a pot lid near the stove to smother flames if a fire starts in a pot. Candles The use of candles is becoming more and more popular, especially among young people. To prevent candle fires: • use tea lights or votive candles in non-combustible containers as they are generally a safer choice than tapers, • place the candles in a location where they can’t be knocked over or come in contact with combustible items. Blow out all candles before leaving the room or going to bed.
supplemented with space heaters. To prevent heating fires; Keep the space heater at least one meter away from anything that can burn, such as paper, bedding, furniture and curtains. Turn off the space heater before going out or going to bed. Social gatherings Parties are as much a part of student life as attending classes. While most student parties are harmless fun, the consumption of alcohol combined with cooking or smoking can create a serious fire risk. To minimize the risk of fires during or after parties; Avoid over-crowding. The more people attending the party, the easier it is to lose control of the situation. Encourage guests to smoke outside. Consider putting up no smoking signs that direct guests to an outside smoking area. Refrain from burning candles during parties. They can easily be knocked over or ignite nearby combustibles, unnoticed.
Smoking Fires caused by smoking can be deadly. Even if they don’t smoke themselves, chances are the student will have friends that do. To prevent smoking fires; encourage Space heaters smokers to go outside. The central heating systems Source: Ministry of Community in older accommodation is often Safety & Correctional Services.

Passed away suddenly at her residence on August 15, 2015 at the age of 66 years. Born July 7, 1949, she was the daughter of the late Naureen Betts (née Moodie) and Harold Betts and by her loving partner John Murphy. She is sadly missed by her only sister Dianne VanOenen, nephews David and James and by a niece Susanne (Baby Susanne), her step children Sean Hartwell, Chris Murphy and Aaron Miller.

Send condolences, place a donation, light a memory candle or share a special thought of Susan online at www.irvinememorial.com Stop all the clocks Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good. ~ W. H. Auden

PENNETT, Colleen – In memory of our little angel in heaven since August 28, 1985. Only two nights in your life you were not by my side. Once with your Grandma and once with your friend. I now often wonder how much better life would have been if you had not been taken so soon. You made me a better person, you made me see the world through the eyes of an innocent child. Your zest for fun, your wanting to know about all things around you, your love of all living things, even spiders and snakes. You saw beauty in everything, how I miss that and how I miss you “Little Snook�. Pray for me so that I may join you and once again see all the wonders through your eyes.

Colonoscopy; If It’s Good for the Queen and President, it’s Good For You How foolish some people are. Even when it means dying from a large bowel cancer at an early age. I`ve seen it happen many times over the years. So here are 10 points that can prevent this needless tragedy. One – About 90 percent of colon cancer occurs in people over 50 years of age. This provides ample time to detect and treat this malignancy. But there is one big hurdle, and I`ve heard friends and patients Dr. Gifford-Jones react to it over and over again. They casually respond, ` Yes, I`m going to have a colonoscopy one of these days“. 99 percent of the time this means none of these days. And I`ve seen some of these people die horrible deaths from this common preventable malignancy. Two – Colon cancer usually starts in the inner lining of the intestine. A polyp, a fleshy growth, slowly develops, often remaining non-cancerous for years. But, when polyps turn into cancer, 95 percent called adenocarcinomas, by this time cancerous cells have spread to the liver and other parts of the body. Now treatment is like closing the barn door after the horses have escaped. Three – Do not conclude you can wait until early symptoms appear and then consult your doctor. This is the same as trying to purchase insurance on your home after it’s been destroyed by fire. You can have an advanced malignancy without any early symptoms. This is one point you should never forget. Four – The first warning sign (not early sign) of colon cancer and the most common one is rectal bleeding. Sometimes a small amount of blood will appear on the stool. Or blood from earlier bleeding which was not detected may give stools a tarry appearance. Or a large amount of blood will be present in the toilet bowl. And on rare occasions, an enlarging cancer will cause intestinal obstruction. Five – The best way to diagnose a precancerous bowel polyp is by colonoscopy. A lighted flexible instrument is inserted into the rectum and gradually and slowly inched forward until it has explored the entire large bowel. If a polyp is discovered a wired loop is placed around it and the polyp removed. Six – Some patients who refuse the colonoscopy procedure can use a test to check for blood in the stool that cannot be seen by the naked eye. But if the test is positive, it’s mandatory to have a colonoscopy. Never fool yourself that it’s as accurate as this procedure. Seven – Many people refuse colonoscopy due to embarrassment and fear that it’s a painful procedure. Forget the embarrassment. If the President of the U.S. or the Queen of England can submit to one, so can you. I’ve had several colonoscopies by 8:00 AM and returned to the office by 9:00 AM without sedation. But if a few cramps bother you, sedation is available. Some people worry about possible complications. But only on rare occasion is the bowel injured or bleeding occurs during removal of polyps. Eight – Today, colon cancer is the second leading cause of death in this country. Only lung cancer is responsible for more deaths. We do not have a reliable way to diagnose precancerous lesions of the lung. But we can detect precancerous lesions of the colon. So it’s a tragedy when so many still die of this disease. Nine – There’s no general agreement on when to have a colonoscopy. 90 percent of colon cancer occurs after 50 years of age. But since some begin earlier, I believe it’s prudent to .CA have a colonoscopy in the early 30’s. Moreover, since 10 to 15 percent of colon malignancies occur in those with a close relative who has the disease, all the more reason to arrange for an early colonoscopy. It’s a win/win situation. Ten – If I still haven’t convinced you that colonoscopy can save your life, what should you do? I’d suggest seeing a psychiatrist. After all, isn’t it reasonable to seek an answer for why anyone would refuse a sure cure for colon cancer?

If your child is planning to sleep over with a friend, make sure the home is safe from fire. Here are some things to consider, before you say yes: Are there working alarms on every storey and outside the sleeping area? Will the children be supervised through the stay? Do they have ahome fire escape plan (see below) that includes two ways out and a meeting place outside? Are there two escape routes from the room where your child will be sleeping? Will the parents walk through their escape plan with your child? Are the parents cautious with smoking materials, matches and lighters, and candles? If the home has security bars, do they have quick release devices inside so your child can get out in the event of an emergency? “Fire Safety doesn’t stop at home, children need to be safe no matter where they sleep and it’s our job to protect them,” said Shannon Armitage, Fire Prevention Officer. “The law requires every home with a fuel burning appliance to have a working carbon monoxide alarm outside every sleeping area and working smoke alarms on every story and outside every sleeping area. The point is to hear the beep where you sleep. Working smoke alarms increase your family’s chances of getting out safely by 50 per cent. “I’m not asking folks to conduct official inspections of potential sleepover locations but there are ways of informing yourself by working it into a conversation with the receiving parents to see how important they take fire safety. Communication is the key! It’s also important to communicate with your child to help them be prepared by having two ways out of every room and upon the sound of an alarm to get out and stay out. Go to a designated safe meeting place and wait for the fire department to arrive. Tell your child never re-enter a burning building no matter what.” Have a fire escape plan If a fire occurred in your home tonight, would your family get out safely? Everyone must know what to do and where to go when the smoke alarm sounds. Take a few minutes with everyone in your household to make a home fire escape plan, following the instructions below.

rivers. It would also pass by a number of lakes, including Lakes Temagami, Nipissing and Nipigon, Trout Lake and Lake of the Woods. In light of this proximity, the OEB believes that TransCanada needs to assess whether it is appropriate to take a route originally chosen for a natural gas pipeline and use it for the transportation of crude oil. Where the existing pipeline route is too close to environmentally sensitive areas, TransCanada should reroute the pipeline or justify why rerouting is not necessary. TransCanada should pay particular attention to protecting Nipigon Lake, Trout Lake, the Ottawa River, the Rideau River, the Oxford-Marsh Aquifer, the Nepean Aquifer, and other areas where there is elevated public concern. As for the route near the St. Lawrence River, TransCanada should study an alternative route near the Canadian Pacific (CP) rail line and reroute the pipeline to follow the CP right-of-way.” The OEB team found pipeline safety, and the effects of a spill on local rivers and lakes, were the most important concerns for people living near the proposed route of Energy East. They insisted the pipeline have the highest standards for integrity and emergency response. TransCanada also needs to demonstrate that, in the event of a spill, the amount of crude oil that could be released will be as low as reasonably practicable. The most important threat to the integrity of Energy East is the four sections of the pipeline in northern Ontario that are coated with polyethylene tape. Ontario needs to be assured of the reliability of the in-line inspection tools that TransCanada will use to detect cracks on the four tapecoated sections. TransCanada should conduct a hydrostatic test before the pipeline is put into service carrying oil. “As well, TransCanada must demonstrate its financial ability (and associated guarantees) to cover the response, clean up and remediation costs of a spill, knowing that these costs could easily surpass $1 billion.” “So while almost half of Energy East will run through Ontario, it is expected to produce only modest economic benefits for the province. This will result in an imbalance between the risks of the project and the expected benefits for Ontarians. Under these circumstances it is even more important that Ontario natural gas consumers face no harm due to Energy East.” Energy East is an interprovincial undertaking and falls under federal jurisdiction. This means the National Energy Board and ultimately the Federal Cabinet will determine if the project can go ahead, and under what conditions. The NEB will hold a public hearing on the engineering, economic, environmental and social aspects of TransCanada’s application to determine whether it is in the Canadian public interest.

meet its social, cultural and economic needs in a sustainable manner. They have been raising public awareness about the potential impacts of the pipeline project Choose since 2013. Chris Weissflog, member of SNG, atfoods tended meetings the OEB held in Cornproduced wall and Ottawa to collect input from the public. He presented SNG’s position organically, concerning the project at the meeting in locally and Cornwall. “We are pleased with the OEB’s find- in season. ings and the provincial government for collecting feedback from the people in the areas the pipeline would run through,” Support your said Weissflog. “But we don’t think it went regional far enough, in terms of climate change.” He explained the report was missing farmers the overall effect of pulling that much carbon intensive oil out of the earth. He said and farming the focus on water safety in the report was industry: in line with SNG’s concerns. “Our primary concerns are the Rideau River and the Oxbuying ford Aquifer,” said Weissflog. locally and He explained the pipeline project is a risk to the environment at large – water in season is and land. “It could all be destroyed by a major oil better for the spill,” said Weissflog. “Given that TransCanada intends to environment spend nearly $12 billion on the project, it than buying will have to operate the pipeline over defoods that cades and require an increased tar sands output to generate the profit they are anhave been ticipating,” said Weissflog. “At 1.1 million barrels per day of the world’s most carbonshipped intensive oils, that is a climate impact our environmental cannot afford.” He stressed hundreds of the debate between the two methods of kilometers transport – rail and pipeline – is all a ploy. “Just because the pipeline would be to your local carrying oil, doesn’t mean trains wouldn’t market. be carrying diluent (added to bitumen to make it less viscous) out west,” said Weissflog.
A provincial probe has determined the potential environmental impact of the Energy East pipeline does not jibe with the economic benefits. The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) released its report Aug. 13 on the $11.3 billion project. It also warned the pipeline project could drive up natural gas prices by roughly 12 per cent in the winter months over the next 20 years. The report cost $2.4 million. The Energy East Pipeline is a proposal by TransCanada to convert an existing natural gas pipeline and build a new pipeline, both of which would carry crude oil from Alberta to refineries in Quebec and a refinery and marine terminal in St. John, NB. The 4,600 km oil pipeline would carry approximately 1.1 million barrels per day of crude oil. The Ontario Minister of Energy asked the OEB to undertake this consultation to help inform the government’s position when it appears before the National Energy Board hearing on Energy East. The OEB team travelled to seven towns and cities in northern and eastern Ontario, including Ottawa, and also met with First Nation and Metis communities. The team focused on the impacts on: Ontario natural gas consumers; the natural environment and pipeline safety; local and Aboriginal communities; the short and long-term economic impacts of the project. A fifth impact to be studied during the review after hearing from the public is the impact of Energy East on climate change. The report states: “Participants at the community meetings routinely expressed concerns about pipeline safety and the effects an oil spill would have on their local rivers, lakes and sources of drinking water.” The OEB’s advice is based on TransCanada’s application filed with the NEB on Oct. 30, 2014 and additional technical material filed Jan. 30, 2015. It states, “Looking at what has been filed as of January 2015, the OEB is concerned with some aspects of Energy East.” The report found natural gas is a critical fuel for millions of Ontario consumers, used to heat their homes, operate businesses and generate electricity. “Energy East will remove pipeline capacity for natural gas by converting one of TransCanada’s 42-inch pipelines to carry crude oil. We are concerned that, even with the new natural gas pipeline that TransCanada is proposing to build in eastern Ontario, Energy East will reduce the supply and increase the price of natural gas for consumers in that region. Ontario needs to be assured that the pipeline capacity and the supply of natural gas in eastern Ontario will meet Ontario’s medium- and long-term needs and that Ontario natural gas consumers will not subsidize the costs of Energy East.” Post time 6:30 PM The report states the pipeline would be near many Ontario waterways, including the Rideau River.

OREC targets $1.7m with fourth share offering Submitted
the Ottawa area. At the most recent OREC meeting, members unanimously approved a change to OREC’s boundaries, making the successful co-op’s model available to residents of Eastern Ontario to invest in local renewable energy initiatives. “Over the last three years OREC intentionally restricted ourselves to projects and membership within the City of Ottawa; our intention is to be a community focused organization.” says Janice Ashworth, OREC’s Operations Manager. “Now that we have established our business model, the membership has approved making it available to other residents of Eastern Ontario. It is OREC’s desire that renewable energy generation in this region be owned by its community members.” Eastern Ontario residents can participate in the Offering Statement through investing in the Preference Shares or Investment Notes. OREC’s Preference Shares (equity) have 20-year terms, are RRSP-eligible, and target a 5 per cent dividend an-
nually, plus return of capital over time. OREC’s Investment Notes (fixed income) have a 5-year term and will pay a 3 per cent annual dividend; they are not RRSP eligible. As opposed to a mutual fund where individual investors have little control, with a co-op, every investor becomes a member and has a vote in decisions that affect operations and investments. “Co-ops put peoples’ values first,” says Ashworth. “The great thing about our model is that it benefits the wider community as well as our members. It merges environmental sustainability and community strength—two key challenges of our time. With big corporations everywhere, it’s nice to engage with an alternative where you know you have a say. All of our investments stay within our community, the jobs, the electricity and the profits.” OREC expects the share offering to sell out quickly, as it did last year. Those interested are invited to attend one of OREC’s online or in-person information sessions.

Free session to train your dog to track and recover wounded big game Submitted
There will be a free presentation on how to train dogs to track and find wounded big game on Thursday, Sept. 10 at the Roebuck Community Hall starting at 7 p.m. The presentation is one of several events sponsored by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Limerick Forest. The speaker will be John Jeanneney from New York State. Jeanneney has been training dogs and successfully tracking wounded big game for more than 40 years. He has tracked well over 1,000 wounded big game animals and has played a key role in getting tracking legalized in over 35 states in the USA. In 2013, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) legalized the use of leashed dogs to track and recover wounded big game. The MNRF considers tracking wounded big game with a leashed dog as hunting, therefore a dog used for tracking must be licensed and the tracking must occur during legal shooting hours. Dogs used for recovering wounded big game are often referred to as “blood trackers” but the term can be misleading. Usually “blood tracking dogs” are used to track when there is little or no blood. With training and experience a dog can learn to distinguish and track an individual wounded big game animal by other scents rather than just its blood. Similar to having a top per-

to be good blood trackers, however without training how are they to know you want them to persistently stay on the trail of a wounded big game animal even though the trail may be several

tracker from Belleville knows the sickening feeling of not finding a wounded deer. After losing a wounded doe Jeff acquired Misty, his tracking dog. Misty has found several deer
now and her greatest achievement was finding a monster buck four days after it was shot. A hunter about an hour away from where Jeff lives had shot the buck with an arrow. He spent two days trying to find the buck with no luck. He desperately called around for help. He finally found Jeff using the Big Game Blood Trackers of Ontario website. Delayed due to work commitments, Weese and Misty arrived four days after the deer was shot. The temperature was -30 C, and a fresh 12 inches of snow had fallen the night before. Immediately the hunter took Weese and Misty to where he had last seen blood. Misty quickly dug through the snow and was on the scent. Finally, after an hour they came to a clearing. Misty had found the deer, and a brute it was! Success on a four day old track, -30c temperatures, and a 2km distance from first-blood. That’s the kind of success story any dog owner would be proud of. In his presentation Jeanneney will discuss how to interpret the severity of a wound by thoroughly assessing the hit site and the behavior of the animal after the shot. John will also discuss dog breeds, equipment and training techniques. Jeanneney’s website is http://www.born-to-track.com The Big Game Blood Trackers of Ontario (BGBTO) is an affiliated club of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH).

Select members of the Kemptville Wildcats joined their Kanata peers to create an All Star team worthy of A semi-finals action. The team lost by a small margin to the South Ottawa Canadiens team who ultimately won the tournament.
Kemptville Wildcats team up with Kanata for successful Coach Pitch All-Star Tourney By Warren O’Callaghan
Although their house league season had been over for a month, a dedicated group of six to eight-year-old Kemptville Wildcats Baseball and Softball Club (KWBSC) players refused to let the baseball season end. Volunteering to join an All-Star team, these youngsters had only four practices to prepare for a highly competitive tournament hosted by the Cornwall River Rats Baseball organization Aug. 15-16. This tournament was attended by seven eastern Ontario teams that had played together for the whole season. The team was able to sport some super swag All Star t-shirts thanks to the sponsorship of m5 Digital of Kemptville. After finding out that busy summer holiday schedules of team members would mean they would be three players short to join the tournament, the players and parents refused to quit. A Kanata Little League team was in the same situation, wanting to enter the tournament but having only four players. There was an idea to join forces, and the “KEMPTATA ALL-STARS” was born. The Kemptville lads, most participating in their first ever baseball tournament, arrived bright and early at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, nervously looking to meet their new Kanata teammates. Kemptville head coach, Jimmy Hogan quoted his son as saying: “I don’t know if we’ll win, but I
hope I make new friends.” Well, they managed to do both. Despite the last minute combination, the skill and determination of the boys prevailed. During the round robin portion of the tournament the “Kemptata” boys posted a two win, one loss record. They first defeated the host team Cornwall, then beat a fierce Casselman squad. The run of victories was only halted in the third game by a powerhouse South Ottawa Canadiens team. The 2-1 record of the unlikely dream team was good enough to earn them a berth in the A semi finals. Their opponent was the same powerful South Ottawa team that had defeated them. Now game tested and bonded by friendship, the boys played a much closer game, battling the whole way, only to lose a squeaker to the South Ottawa team who went on to win the tournament. The Kanata coach, Ryan Hobbins, said: “Jimmy, the Kemptville coach and his players made our boys feel welcome and part of the team; we had a great time”. Special thanks from the team go to Leah Gough, the Wildcats coach pitch convener who was instrumental in putting the team together. Two summer days of kids learning about friendship, teamwork and baseball, what could be better?

Ghosts Walk (last performance is Friday, Aug. 28 at 8 p.m., starting at 54 Beckwith Street East) have attracted the attention of some half dozen travel writers who have enjoyed these celebrations of town heritage as Perth prepares for its 200th anniversary. Throughout the summer, the festival has also distributed hundreds of free theatre seats through its Savea-Seat program, which opens up spaces for socially and economically marginalized community members in partnership with local social service agencies. Benefits and contributions to local and regional community organizations, including Lanark County Community Justice Program, Friends of the Perth & District Union Library, the Lanark County Grannies, and the Family and Friends Council of Lanark Lodge, have raised almost $10,000 as well. This summer also featured the professional debut of two young performers – Perth’s Madison Miernik and Smiths Falls’ Samantha Salter – in Wait Until Dark, taking on the role of nine-year-old Gloria See CLASSIC page 42

This ‘Agent’ misses the mark on most levels MOVIE: Hitman Agent 47 STARRING: Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto, and Ciaran Hinds DIRECTOR: Aleksander Bach RATING: 14A Sometimes you know a movie is going to be bad. Hitman Agent 47 is one of those times. What I wasn’t expecting was for Agent 47 to be one of those rare bad films that’s still fun to watch. A long time ago Dr. Litvenko (Ciaran Hinds) conducted experiments to create the perfect assassin. He was successful. His creations, known as Agents, were faster, smarter and stronger than any human. Then Dr. Litvenko had a moral change of heart, and disappeared. In the present his daughter, Katia (Hannah Ware), searches for him, though all she has is a picture and a dim recollection. For years she has searched while keeping herself hidden. However, things have changed as two organizations, who are also looking for Dr. Litvenko, have found Katia. John Smith (Zachery Quinto) is the first to find her. He works for The Syndicate, and
My Take
MARK HASKINS
claims to have been sent to protect Katia from an Agent known only as 47 (Rupert Friend). Agent 47 has come for Katia with orders to use her to find Dr. Litvenko, and then kill them both. Of course things are never as they seem. John Smith isn’t the hero he claims to be, Agent 47 isn’t the villain he’s made out to be, and Katia isn’t entirely human. It is a movie based on a video game so this sort of thing is to be expected. A sure sign of a bad movie is when they change the trailer. In the case of Agent 47 the first preview had Agent 47 as the villain, and then a new preview came out showing him as the hero. This means either the original movie didn’t do well with test audiences so it was reedited, or the movie company lost faith in the film, and gave the twist away hoping to gain a bigger audience. In the case
of Agent 47 I suspect the latter, but neither is good. So once the big twist is given away Agent 47 doesn’t have much more going for it. Sure there are some seizure inducing action scenes, and the obligatory slow motion scenes set to techno-dance music, but otherwise the story is weak, the acting is wooden and large chunks of the plot are unexplained or non-existent. Yet despite all that I kind of liked Agent 47. What allows a bad film to still be fun to watch? Partly it’s the seizure inducing action sequences, but it’s also the little bits of campy humour. Sure Friend, Ware and Quinto are emotionless blocks of wood, but their characters are emotionless killing machines so it kind of works. They also manage these brief looks, and bits of dialogue where they’re almost making fun of themselves. It’s those little touches that take a pointless action film and make it fun. Hitman Agent 47 is not a good film, but it might just make it onto your guilty pleasure list. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

New app makes it easier to identify algae, aquatic plants Algae and aquatic plant observations can now be made on your smart phone. The People, Aquatic Plants and Healthy Lakes Project has just released an Android app for lake and river users to report any algae or aquatic plants that they observe on their waterbody. The Android app called Citizen Water Watch can be downloaded for free at the Google play store. App users will be asked to take a photo
of what they are reporting, provide a description and the location of their observation. Reports from the app will be stored in a central database for eastern Ontario lakes and rivers. This database will provide information on when, where and how often algal blooms and excessive aquatic plant growth is occurring. Algae and aquatic plants are a part of a healthy aquatic ecosystem but
too many can put stress on fish and other organisms in our lakes and rivers. Many local recreational water users have noted an increase in algae and aquatic plant growth, despite little observed change in nutrient concentrations which are often the cause of algal blooms and excessive aquatic plant growth. Reporting observations of algae and aquatic plants will help us bet-
ter understand the excessive plant Conservation Foundation. growth and find ways to improve Submitted by the Rideau Valley aquatic environments. Conservation Foundation.

1970 Volkswagen Squareback restored to former glory Beginning in 1961, you could buy what was known as a Type 3 VW car with contemporary styling instead of the Beetle styling that originated in the late 1930s. The Type 3 was produced from 1961 to 1973 alongside the Beetle – and many buyers opted for the newer look. The Type 3 came in three configurations: a fastback, a notchback, and a station wagon known as a squareback. Clare Sutton of Camlachie, Ontario, has one: “I bought my 1970 Squareback from a man in London, Ontario, who had intended to restore it but ran out of time. I had been looking for one for
years. There was no picture of it in the classified ad but it said ‘1970 VW Station wagon.’ This could have actually been a VW van but I called anyway. My gut feeling was right! “I actually dickered with the man for about a year before we agreed on a price. I paid $2500.00 for it and the seller said he was happy that someone got it who would restore it. It was in pretty good shape when I bought it as it had originally come from B.C. “I installed a new headliner, new carpeting, front seat upholstery, new tie rods and ball joints, new Coker radial whitewall tires, new dashboard pad, new exhaust system and heater
boxes, minor body work, and a new paint job by St. Germain Body Shop in Sarnia. The motor needed a major tune-up. It now runs really well.” Clare tells us his car won Best 10 of “After 1960 Classics” at the 2013 Sarnia Street Machines “Cruise in the Park.” The motor is under a panel beneath the rear cargo area behind the back seat. It is
a horizontally-opposed 4 cylinder air-cooled, fuel-injected engine. It is about 16” high, which allows it to sit nicely below the cargo area. It is similar to a Beetle engine but much flatter because the cooling fan is connected to the
crankshaft instead of the upright generator on the Beetle. The engine is usually referred to as a boxer, suitcase, or pancake design. As Clare points out, the Type 3 VW was the first production vehicle to have a trunk in the back and the front. “The engine in the Type 3 started out as a single carb 1500cc. When the fastback was added in 1966, it went to a dual carb 1600 cc. In 1968, fuel injection was introduced with a 1600 cc engine with
65 horsepower. The top speed of 84 mph is also the cruising speed, so you can cruise all day at 84!” I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Here are a few vehicle design features we could do without There is now a wealth of features and options available on vehicles that can make driving a lot safer and enjoyable at the same time. Things like collision mitigation systems, rain-sensitive wipers, power liftgates and the like have solved problems that many of us never knew we had to begin with. But for all the creaturecomfort and safety systems, automakers are still offering items that we really don’t need, but tend to want. Maybe it’s time to rethink our desires. Sunroofs. Whether panoramic full glass roofs or the front-half-only style, these are one of the worst ideas to ever come out of an auto designer’s sketch pad. They create an overwhelming wind noise when open and the vehicle is moving at anything over 60 km/h. They have small drain tubes to remove water that can accumulate if the roof is opened when it’s raining or even if the roof is just wet. These drains can cause interior water leaks if they become plugged risking trim and electronics damage. They also keep the cabin from warming up quickly on a very cold day thanks to the lack of insulation from the glass panel. And of course you can imagine the mess that leaving a sunroof open when the vehicle is parked and subjected to an unexpected torrential downpour. The only advantage to having a sunroof is that you can quickly vent hot air when
getting in on a warm sunny day and your passenger has a great view of the sky (as the driver you’re not supposed to be star gazing). Spoilers. These cosmetic trim items can range from a small inconspicuous lipped edge on the trunk lid all the way up to a wing more befitting of a small aircraft. In marketing terms they’re supposed to provide additional down force on the rear end of the vehicle for a more stable ride. In reality they only have this effect at extremely high speeds. They will, however reduce fuel economy and trap enough snow and ice during the winter to make the deck lid hard to open. Parking lamps. These have been around for decades proving that few carmakers ever think to question the status quo. They are not required to legally operate the vehicle on any public road. If it’s dark enough for lights, by law you must turn on your vehicle headlamps and daytime running lights are fully automatic. So parking lamps are a throwback to the era when car designers figured we all needed help finding our vehicles when parked in the dark. I came across a new vehicle recently whose designers finally eliminated that useless position on the headlamp switch (2015 Jeep Renegade).

there are features that we really could use and the technology exists to bring them to market. What about a rain sensing system that could roll up your power windows if you left them down when parked? For any who might worry that this might risk to injury if a passer by happened to have one of their body parts in the way when the glass was closing, many of today’s power windows have a safety sensor that will stop and reverse the travel of the glass if an object is detected. Besides why would a passer by be reaching into your parked car? Tip of the week: If you’re driving along and your vehicle engine starts to sputter and when you look at the gas gauge you suddenly realize you forgot to fill up, you may be able to get a few extra meters out of the vapors in the tank. If traffic permits, gently swerve left to right within your lane. This can slosh enough fuel to the pump’s pickup at the bottom of the tank to get you up to a block or more of movement. It Photo courtesy goodwindshield.com can make the difference between getting stuck in traffic and making it safely Sunroofs are more often a detriment than benefit.

Still time to ‘glamp’ out in an Ontario Provincial Park in style this summer selfies with friends and family. Good food equals good times. • Whether you cook where you camp or take food with you, simple, yet yummy camp food is just a click, and maybe a barbecue match away. • Enjoy Ontario’s bounty by sourcing goodies from your local farmers’ market. Find inspiration from Foodland Ontario or LCBO’s Food and Drink magazine. • Other neat ways to enjoy the camping experience: Buy photography, paintings, stained glass and pottery at Bon Echo’s annual juried exhibition and sale from July 24 to 26. • Sit in the comfort of the outdoor theatre at Halfway Lake on July 24 to hear Science North staff talk about the wonders of water. • Find another event happening during your next visit to one of our provincial parks.
Enjoy Ontario’s great outdoors in style this summer by mixing glamour with camping (glamping). “Ontario’s provincial parks offer so many options for people to enjoy themselves in style,” stated Bill Mauro, Ontario Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. “If you’re new to camping, you might want to ease into it with some of our great glamping tips.” • Take your campsite with you: Want to drive your campsite to your campsite? With more than 19,000 car camping sites, many with 15/30 amp electrical service, RVing is a great way to enjoy Ontario Parks. If you don’t own a recreational vehicle, it’s easy to rent one. • Cabins and yurts and cottages, oh yes!: If you’d rather have a roof over your head, many of Ontario’s provincial parks offer cabins, yurts and cottages. • Luxury awaits you at Sandbanks Provincial Park’s Maple Rest Heritage House. This former family farmhouse features four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, as well as a gas fireplace, screened porch and beautiful views of Lake Ontario. • Camping is more comfortable than you might think: If you think of camping as being totally off the grid and have visions of an outhouse, you need to see what Ontario’s provincial parks have to offer now. • Stay fresh and clean at one of the more than 300 comfort stations with hot showers, many of which offer laundry
Submitted photos More about provincial parks
There are more than 330 provincial parks in Ontario, covering more than eight million hectares – larger than Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island combined. In 2014, Ontario’s provincial parks received more than 8.5-million visits from people around the world and brought in over $70 million in revenue, facilities. which supported jobs and businesses • WiFi is available at park visitor cen- across the province. tres in Algonquin, Pinery, Killbear and Submitted by the Ontario Ministry of Presqu’ile so you can share your camp Natural Resources and Forestry.
