EMC News – The downtown business sector is suffering. Construction on the sewage and water for Clothier St. has left a big hole in local proprietor’s wallets. “It has definitely cut down on business and traffic,” said Michael Rowland, owner of Rowland’s Leather. He said it would help if people chose to still go out to the shops in that area, despite the inconveniences relative to parking and walking. “We’re a pretty established business,” said Rowland. “We’ve been around for 40 years and we’ll be around for years to come. I’m worried about the smaller, newer businesses and wonder whether they will be able to ride out the storm.”

Rowland’s Leather is fortunate to have another location in Merrickville, which will ensure the continuation of revenue. The Kemptville store is turning lemons into lemonade by focusing on the production end of business and making use of their customer-free time. “We’re almost to the point where people are not coming in,” said assistant Gina Race. “We have had days where no one came in at all.” Rowland confirmed sales are down by 50 per cent. “That’s the half with the profit in it,” said Rowland. Despite the loss of business, Rowland is pleased that the sewers are being replaced. He is eagerly awaiting the end result, which will benefit everyone in the area. Debbie and Rick Graham also

own a business on Clothier St., Graham’s Bakery, which is a landmark business in the community. They supply fresh bread to various local establishments, including O’Heaphys Pub, which has likewise been affected by the construction. “It impacts us twice because the construction affects us and our customers, who then buy less bread,” said Debbie. Debbie and Rick explained the situation has proven difficult, but they are bearing it. Debbie even made her own signs and posted them to direct people how to get around the construction to the bakery. They stated business was down 30 per cent due to the construction. “A lot of our customers are seniors and they get confused as to where to go,” said Debbie. “They find it difficult to walk the long

distances around the construction.” Their deliveries have also been affected, prompting a few drivers to give up and park a couple blocks away at the former Giant Tiger parking lot. “I had to drive over with my truck and pick up the stuff myself,” said Rick. However, Rick worked in construction for years and understands that when you’re replacing sewers from a decades-old infrastructure unexpected issues will arise. “These guys are doing the best they can,” said Rick. Patti Lindsay, who owns 416 Tire and O’Heaphys Pub, feels the construction has definitely impacted people’s decision to come downtown. “A lot is going on at once,” said Lindsay. “A lot of people are

coming into 416 Tire complaining about the inconvenience of all the detours.” Lindsay said the signage could be improved upon to direct people a little better. Parking in the area has become a premium, which has affected the parking lot for 416 Tire as well. According to Lindsay, O’Heaphys pub has suffered a noticeable drop in business, resulting in employee’s hours being cut back. “It’s patio season,” said Lindsay. “No one wants to sit outside and listen to construction.” Lindsay said she realizes the construction is necessary, but wishes the municipality had chosen a less optimum time for businesses, such as early spring or late fall.

Highway 43 Memorial ride kicks off Saturday in Perth By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News – Homeless veterans will never be forgotten if the Canadian Army Veterans (CAV) have anything to do with it. For the second year, the 1 CAV Sicily Motorcycle Unit of Morrisburg will be in Perth to kick off their ride – Operation Leave: Leave the Streets Behind – that hits legion branches Highway 43 on their way back home to Branch 48 in Morrisburg. Bill “Justus” Aitken is the vice president of this branch of riders. As a war vet, this ride touches a little piece of him – as it does with all members of the unit. “I can relate to the anxiety issues and depression… I was 24 years in the military and I get how (homelessness) happens… how it can come to that,” he said. “It’s not an easy thing. Individuals have to take control and have that need to change their lives so they can feel better.” The CAV’s goal is to help other vets. “This event is not to take

st

away from our fallen soldiers from Afghanistan.” Aitken said this ride’s donations will go directly towards helping families and it will go to the Homeless Veterans Assistance Fund. Last year, they raised close to $5,000. “There are so many issues for vets once they come home,” he said. “So many people don’t get that.” What the public may not know, he added, is that over 2,400 solders were wounded or dismembered who came back from Afghanistan. “What happens to them?” “Initially, they get treated for injuries, given information on what’s happening and where to go for help,” Aitken said. But that’s not enough. “Vets helping vets. That’s the real thing happening here” with this ride, he added. “Those we have asked for sponsorship or to get involved have been great. They love helping and donating and that the money is going to war vets and their families.”

Ride throughout region On Saturday, riders will gather at the Canadian Tire store in Perth, on Highway 7 for their ride through Perth to Highway 43. The route will take participants through Burritts Rapids, Kemptville, and then to Chesterville where they will break for lunch at the legion. Following that, the group will head to Alexandria, hit Lancaster on Highway 34, circle back to Morrisburg via Highway 2 at the Long Sault Parkway. “In Morrisburg, we will be having a barbecue dinner at the Legion (Branch 48) and we should be there about 4 p.m.,” Aitken said. On display at the Morrisburg Legion will be a replica of the Portraits of Honour mural. A copy of artist Dave Sopha’s piece was reproduced on canvas and will be available for viewing at the Morrisburg Legion throughout the day. The original 10-foot by 50-foot hand-painted mural depicting soldiers who died in Afghanistan took 6,500 hours to paint.

Five historic homes on display in Merrickville House and Garden Tour July 13 By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

The eighth annual Merrickville House and Garden Tour is set to unfold Saturday, July 13. This year, five heritage homes and their gardens are on the schedule, including historic Manor House, above. Located at 905 St. Lawrence St., this home was owned by the Mirick family, the founders of Merrickville.

EMC Events – Take a peek inside some of Merrickville’s most historic homes and lush gardens Saturday, July 13 when the eighth annual Merrickville House and Garden Tour returns. The tour, once again being presented by Holy Trinity Anglican Church, runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and this year visitors will be invited into five of the village’s lovely homes. “The lineup this year is unbelievable,� remarked tour organizer Linda Nash. “I cannot believe how lucky I was this year.� According to Nash, all five of the homes on the tour are heritage and accompanying each are “magnificent gardens.� “The whole tour is like a step back in time,� she noted. Due to the fact that each home also has a garden to explore, Nash indicated she didn’t seek out separate gardens. “It’s going to take people all day to see these houses. They’re so interesting,� she commented. Included in that list is Merrickville’s historic Manor House at 905 St. Lawrence St. Owned by David Luxton and Laura Brown, this regal stone home’s claim to fame is that it was owned by the Mirick family, founders of Merrickville, in 1844 and is known as the Harry McLean House by locals. “Current owners David, is the chairman of the Tulip Festival in Ottawa and Laura is a sculptor and artist,� Nash explained. The three-storey structure was completely renovated in 2012. “They left no stone unturned for redoing this house,� she said. “It’s been totally revamped from the first to the third floor.� An example of Georgian architecture, one of the home’s most unique features is winding staircase that leads to a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ style gallery at the top. It is decorated exclusively in fine art and antiques. “I’m so excited (to have this on the tour),� Nash stated. “You could be there all day just looking around that one house.� On the day of the tour, copies of Teresa Charland’s biography on McLean, ‘Building an Empire. “Big Pants� Harry F. McLean and his sons of Martha,’ will be available for purchase. Morning Mist Manor (745 Heri-

view of the river,� Nash said. “It’s another great example of late Georgian buildings in Ontario.� The tour will also take visitors to 105 Lewis St., the Jane Tynsdale House, which was constructed in 1861. It is a two-storey limestone house but was built to look like a storey and a half. “The reason for that is that taxes were higher on a two-storey back then,� Nash stated. “People hesitated at wanting to pay higher taxes, so they made homes like that.� The Tynsdale home has also been lovingly restored and boasts original floors. The windows and roof trim reflect the time period in which it was built. Mirick Home, owned by Joelle Schmid and Nick Previsich is an example of Edwardian architecture, with red and yellow brick detailing. “It’s been renovated with a combination of modern and classic interior design with modern and contemporary pieces mixed with fabulous antiques,� Nash commented. The wraparound veranda and expansive garden are other features. “My jaw dropped when I walked into this house. I love it,� she said. The final home included in the tour is the Molloy Home (105 Water St.), owned by Shirley and Timothy Molloy. This two-storey Victorian home was constructed in 1890 and bears wide porches and gingerbread trim indicative of the time period. It was featured on the tour four years ago and is back by popular demand. “There are only a few houses in Ontario like this and it is split in the middle so you can enter the home from both sides of the veranda,� Nash remarked. “It has two stairways, one at the front and one at the back.� Packed with early Canadian and Victorian antiques, Nash said the property has won several awards for its gardens as well.

UCDSB celebrates National Aboriginal Day all year

TOUR Popular event Almost immediately following the tour each year, Nash begins planning for the next. She said she tends to look for older, heritage homes “because that’s what people want to tour.” “Every year I like to put one modern house in, but as it turns out this year, they are all heritage,” Nash stated. “...The nice thing about this year’s tour is you can walk the entire tour if you want,” she added. Over the past eight years, it’s become a popular tradition throughout Merrickville, with people coming from across Lanark, Leeds and Grenville as well as the Ottawa region. “People start calling in January to find out when tickets are going on sale, so it’s definitely becoming one of the highlights of the summer for Merrickville,” Nash said. “It brings people, com-

Help eliminate violence against women and children in Canada at July 5 fundraiser EMC News – On June 21, Tears4Justice began their very powerful journey across Canada from the east coast to the west coast. The journey is in honour of all missing and murdered Aboriginal women and children, along the Highway of Tears, and all women and children across Canada. The group’s goal is to raise awareness on the many issues regarding the root causes and the lack of resources available to protect Aboriginal women and children. According to Canadian government statistics Indigenous women are five to seven times more likely than other women to die as the result of violence. The

Native Women’s Association of Canada has documented more than 580 cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada, most within the last three decades. Because of gaps in police and government reporting, the actual numbers may be much higher. Aboriginal women make up four percent of the female population. Tears4Justice is a non-profit group of grassroots volunteers, family members of missing or murdered loved ones and volunteer social activists who fight for justice on their behalf. On July 5, please join members of our community in welcoming these dedicated people

and supporting this important journey at Zion-Memorial United Church (37 Franklin St.) in Carleton Place at 6:30 p.m. Your support is greatly needed as Tears4Justice is totally reliant on volunteers and donations. For more information, please contact Erin Lee-Todd, Lanark County Interval House at 613878-5700. Sponsors for this event are: Amnesty International Canada, KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, Lanark County Interval House, Lanark County Neighbours for Truth and Reconciliation and the Social Concerns Committee of Carleton Place.

Development of regional economic corporation to be studied by United Counties on the possible opportunities and benefits of regional economic development. The chamber has researched out to other economic development corporations in Ontario and supports the creation of one in Leeds and Grenville. Counties and OPSEU Local 494 sign agreement Counties council has signed an agreement with its social services, child care and social housing workers represented by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU). The two-year agreement for the OPSEU Local 494 employees provides a 1.75 per cent increase in each 2013 and 2014 along with minor modifications in the benefit plan. Stewardship council seeking support Leeds-Grenville Stewardship Council’s Karen Brown outlined ongoing projects and initiatives to counties council at its regular meeting June 20. The local stewardship council is a community-based, volunteer group focusing on environmental enhancement projects. In

SAFETY TIPS Oil Lamps: Oil lamps or lanterns provide excellent light but can be a fire hazard if placed too close to combustibles. Keep oil lamps away from combustibles and out of the wind. Make sure they are kept in a secure place where they cannot be knocked over. Refill the lamps outdoors or away from combustibles and other people.

Leeds Grenville, some of its initiatives include the Leeds Community Pasture Project, where solar-powered water sources have been created for livestock, upgrading of Kemptville Creek, tree planting, and sustainable forestry. Working with schoolchildren to increase environmental awareness and education is another key focus. A partnership with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) was recently formed. Stewardship councils were supported by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) until April 2013. The local council is now seeking other sources of funding, said Brown. She asked counties council to consider supporting the stewardship council through funding or office space. Warden Ron Holman explained the budget for 2013 is set and Brown’s request will be considered in 2014. Campbell puts name forward to FCM Counties council is supporting Mel

Campbell, Reeve of Augusta Township, in becoming a Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) standing committee member in 2013 and 2014. Campbell and counties CAO Andy Brown said it would be advantageous to the United Counties to have a voice at the FCM, a federation which focuses on federal matters such as economic development, taxation and funding. Weed control options studied Following a recommendation from the public works committee earlier this month, counties council has asked staff to proceed with a control option study for noxious and nuisance weeds. The report will help determine effective control measures of weed infestations and a strategy to keep noxious weeds from spreading. Results from test plots, including one along County Road 28, will be included in the study. Effective weed control data from other jurisdictions will also be included in the report.

EMC News – Following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held June 20 at the county building in Brockville. Counties council passed a resolution requesting staff to examine the feasibility of a regional economic development corporation as recommended by the Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce. Chief administrative officer (CAO) Andy Brown said there will be an investigation into any benefits, disadvantages, and costs in forming a countieswide corporation. The study, expected by November, will also ensure no duplication of services or elimination of local municipal economic development programs. The resolution comes after Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce president David Keenleyside’s June 6 presentation to the United Counties’ governance and finance committee

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Stop dumping trash on our rural roads DEAR EDITOR: I have noticed recently that our beautiful rural roads have become dumping grounds for almost any type of trash. I have seen mattresses, appliances, old tires, tons of discarded fast food wrappers, plastic bottles, cans, coffee cups and pretty much anything you can imagine just left or tossed on the side of the road. It seems that people just pull over, have lunch and then just drive away leaving all of their garbage behind. The litterbugs responsible for tossing trash know who you are and maybe it is time to dispose of these items at a proper designated area such as

the dump or a garbage can. I find this very disheartening and sad to see we are so fortunate to live in such a lovely scenic area that is fast becoming an eyesore littered with garbage. Please make an effort to take your garbage with you, dispose of it properly and leave our beautiful rural roads the way I enjoy seeing them, litter free. Thank you. Fran Bryerton Almonte

COMMENTARY Be alert on roads, waterways this Canada Day EMC Editorial – It’s been heralded as the official start to summer, but don’t cloud your summer before it begins with poor driving habits. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) recently announced they will be cracking down on aggressive driving this Canada Day long weekend on roads, trails and waterways across the province. So if you are someone who is impatient or angry while driving or who tends to display colourful vocabulary while behind the wheel, listen up. Aggressive driving doesn’t just mean speeding, which could be considered one of the most common faults among drivers, but also following vehicles too closely, making improper lane changes, weaving in and out of lanes and having a general disregard for the rules of the road and waterways, will be targeted. Don’t think if you aren’t an aggressive driver that the OPP won’t be on the lookout for other poor driving habits. They will also be watching for impaired and distracted driving seatbelts, as well as ensuring you have personal flotation devices on board when boating. According to the OPP, the public awareness campaigns they have been undertaking are making a difference. At this time last year, there were 173 fatalities on roads, waterways and trails, while that number is down to 110 this year. Perhaps that shows that people are taking the law and their own lives seriously. We all have some bad driving habits we’d like to get rid of and being forced to make a change might not be a bad thing.

Father was so overworked and overtired this time of year EMC Lifestyle – Would he topple over and fall out of the rocker? Would he hit the floor with a thud, and maybe bang his head on the oven door? I was sitting at the kitchen table. I was alone. My sister Audrey said she had better things to do than waste time looking through Eaton’s catalogue. The three brothers were doing what they did every night in the summer... they were outside throwing balls, using their sling shots, or shooting off their B.B. guns. Mother was in the garden. It was just me and Father in the kitchen. The sun was still streaking through the west window, and the kitchen had been redded up, and bedtime was a couple hours away. I sat very quietly watching Father. He looked smaller, I thought. Maybe it was the way he was sleeping in the rocker. He didn’t hear his pipe fall to the floor, and the Ottawa Farm Journal lay across his knees unopened. His chin was on his chest, and I could see him breathing as his plaid shirt gently rose and fell. It had been a long day for Father. Chores were done before sun-up. The plow and other farm pieces of machinery had been moved on the stone boat

to the back fields across the Bonnechere and over the West Hill weeks before. By the time Father was finished with the morning chores, the milking done, and eaten his breakfast, he would be ready to take the team across the shallowest part of the Bonnechere and head over to the back fields. He would have picked up the basket of lunch Mother had made the night before, and we wouldn’t see him again until it was time to come back home for the evening chores. And so I sat and watched Father, and wondered if he would have enough strength left to even get out of his clothes and fall into bed. Dust from the fields still clung to his face. He had taken off his work boots and his heavy wool socks were covered in soil and bits and pieces of grass. I knew if he rolled down the legs of his overalls, there would be more of the same trapped in the folds. I could see the edge of his combination underwear showing under his plaid shirt, and I wondered if I dared go and straighten up his head, so that he would be more comfortable. But of course, that would waken him from his much Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

needed sleep. I wondered why he didn’t go to bed right after his supper, as I sat and watched his worn-out body curled uncomfortably in the old rocker. But then, he wouldn’t be able to check on the barns, which he never failed to do before falling into bed. No, this was Father’s routine, and nothing was going to change it this time of year. There were fields to plow and cultivate, and grain to plant, and scant time to do it in, as Father tried to outsmart the weather. And so, from dawn to dusk, Father like every other farmer around us, was tied to the habits of the season. Father wasn’t a big man. The three brothers were all taller by several inches. My brother Emerson towered over him.

as a die. As as I sat and watched him, I was scarcely breathing and making not a sound, so that I wouldn’t disturb his rest, I thought he looked so much older than he did before summer planting began. He was always so much more tired after supper this time of year. The heat of the day was heavy on him, and even though it was summer, he still wore his plaid shirts with the long sleeves. But he did give up his felt hat with the ear lugs, changing to his old battered straw hat, with the wide black headband, marred with the sweat off his brow. I sat quietly, watching Father breathe, not a muscle stirring in either of us. I was overcome with a deep sadness, as I looked at him in the rocking chair, his feet in their usual place on the turneddown oven door. And I wondered, can someone die from overwork? What if one day he didn’t come home from the back fields? What would happen to us? The sun had gone down behind the grape arbour, and the kitchen was darkening, but yet there was daylight, and I was still alone at the old pine table, Eaton’s catalogue unopened in front of me, and with my eyes never leaving Father.

He would stay there until everyone came in from outside, banging doors, and scraping their feet on the mat, and tossing their bats and balls into the box beside the stove. Mother would stop a moment in front of Father and then she would do what she did every night this time of year. She would tap Father on the shoulder...she may have to do it several times to bring him out of his deep sleep. He would slowly raise his head, and look around the kitchen as if he were lost. I would move myself away from the table and go over to the rocker and pick his pipe up off the floor, and put the Ottawa Farm Journal on the bake table. Father would shuffle over to the bedroom door off the kitchen, and he would turn to Everett and tell him to be sure to check the barns before he went to bed. Soon I would hear the creaking of the bed springs, and if I listened closely from my spot at the kitchen table, I would hear a deep sigh, and then the soft snores as Father settled down his tired body for the night. It was just another day, no different than the one before, and no different than the one coming after. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

Local health unit begins weekly Upper Canada District School Board beach water sampling for summer approves budget for 2013-14 EMC News – The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has once again begun weekly water sampling of the area’s public bathing beaches. The beaches will be monitored weekly throughout the summer season until Aug. 30. This year the following public swimming areas will be monitored: • In Lanark County: Almonte Beach, Dalhousie Lake, Centennial Beach, Riverside Beach, Lanark Beach, Pakenham Beach, Rideau Ferry Yacht Club, Robertson Lake Beach, Smiths Falls Jr and Sr. • In Leeds and Grenville: Sand Bay Charleston Lake County Park, St. Lawrence Park, Lyn Valley Conservation Area, South Crosby Beach, Portland Campbell Street Beach, Foley Mountain Beach, Joel Stone Beach, Kendrick’s Park, Lower Beverley Township Park, Bellamy Park, Kelly’s Beach, Merrickville, Westport Sand Lake

lected from each beach. The results will then be analyzed for the presence of E. coli (Escherichia coli) bacteria. If the results exceed the bathing water standard of 100 E. coli, the beach will be posted with an “WARNING Unsafe for Bathing” sign indicating that the level of bacteria in the water may pose a risk to your health if you choose to swim. This information will appear on our website and in radio reports. This year you can also follow the beach posting results by using Facebook and Twitter. Updates will be posted Friday mornings by 9 a.m. Research has shown that when people are swimming at beaches where the water has a high E. coli level, there is a direct relationship with an increase in ear, eye, nose and throat infections in swimmers. The bathing beach will remain posted until test results indicate that the water quality meets the bathing beach water standard.

Other variables, which are assessed and evaluated, are the presence of a blue green algae bloom, accidental spills that may pollute the water and any safety issue that could impact on the health of the bathers. At any time if these variables are believed to have an impact on the beach’s safety, the beach will be posted as “Unsafe for Bathing”. Posting information is available on the health unit website (http://www. healthunit.org/water/test/ beach_results.htm), on Facebook at www.facebook. com/LGLHealthUnit or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/ LGLbeaches or by calling the Health Action Line at 1-800-660-5853. Submitted by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

EMC News – The following are highlights from the Upper Canada District School Board’s (UCDSB) regular meeting which took place June 19 at the board office in Brockville. The UCDSB approved a budget of $345,119,287 in operating expenses and capital of $28,729,025 plus all additional amounts subsequently allocated by the ministry. Budget highlights include: • The Information Technology Services budget for 2013-14 is $5.63 million. This represents a decline of approximately $0.05 million or 0.9 per cent year over year. • The director’s office budget for 2013-14 is $2,899,336. • The proposed budget for teacher support services is $1,270,126. This allocation goes toward the salaries of staff who deliver professional learning across the district and who administrate district and ministry educational programs. • The proposed budget for programs is $12,916,058. • The proposed budget for special education 2013-14 is $45,956,395. • The trustee’s budget for 2013-14 is $424,517. Link Crew The board also received a re-

port on the impact of Link Crew on grade 9 students, grade 12 Link leaders, teacher coordinators and the culture of schools. Link Crew is an orientation and year-long program that is designed to ease the transition of grade 9 students from elementary to high school. It does this by: • Providing a welcoming and fund Orientation Day • Establishing relationships between grade 9 students and their grade 12 Link leaders • Providing a grade 12 Peer Mentoring Structure that supports academic and social success • Providing an environment of caring through Link leader connections and support • Fostering a sense of belonging • Encouraging grade 9 participation in school activities Among the qualitative findings, grade 9 students had this to say: • “Link Crew helped me not be so scared.” • “I knew that I could turn to my Link leader to get help with any problem that I might face.” • “My peer mentor helped me understand my schedule.”

While grade 12 students said: • “I developed a sense of responsibility.” • “I became a role model for grade 9 students.” • “I took the course because I wanted to make a difference.” Nine recommendations will be implemented by administration, including: • Best practices from across the board need to be shared and implemented. • Principals need to take a leadership role in communicating the importance of collective ownership of grade 9 students. • Principals should develop a timetable model that allows time for meaningful connections between grade 9 students. Use of personal electronic devices in classrooms and school The board approved the following policy: In recognition of their differing interests, abilities, personalities and learning preferences, the Upper Canada District School Board encourages its students to select and use the supplies, equipment, devices and other resources they need to learn effectively at school and at home.

Heat waves endanger millions of Ontarians living with lung disease EMC News – For the 2.4 million (one in five) Ontarians living with a serious lung disease such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or lung cancer, this week’s extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable – it can be dangerous. The risk of experiencing serious breathing difficulties increases dramatically during extreme weather, including the severe heat forecast for this week. The effects of smog, heat and humidity can sometimes be felt well before a smog alert is issued. The lungs become more sensitive, causing flare-ups that often mean a visit to the emergency department or even a stay in hospital. Even people who do not have lung disease may experience difficulty breathing in extreme heat conditions or when smog levels are high. During very hot and humid weather, when outdoor air quality is poor, the Ontario Lung Association recommends that you: • Stay indoors in an air-conditioned place with good indoor air quality; • Keep your blinds and curtains closed to keep out the sun’s heat. At night, if you don’t have air-conditioning and outdoor air pollution is low, open your windows to let the cool air in; • Listen to air quality and humidity Submitted photo (Humidex) advisories; • Keep outdoor activity to a minimum and consider exercising indoors EMC News – The Beach House in Perth held an open cancer research. Pictured are Nancy James, Alissa in a cool, clean environment. Schedule outdoor activity at a time when heat house last month where $700 was raised for breast Ballantyne, Tracey Stead and Chrystine Moreau.

More musical tales from the belly of the big city So our wander around downtown Toronto brought us some memorable musical moments, some new friends and venues to check out again. Upcoming events Sam Ferrara pulled it off beautifully. Very tasty. As we enjoyed their set, an older woman entered, quickly quipped with the band between songs and headed further into the bar to where we were seated and asked if she could join us. At the break, as we chatted, her eyes expanded to saucers as I told her we were from Perth. Right here in the heart of multicultural Toronto, this lass tells us she grew up in Westport and still has a cabin near there. She had been up to Festival of the Maples in Perth this year and we compared notes on who we knew in common. Janet Goodfellow apparently left Westport at 18 years of age, now lives in the Kensington area, and the Rattlesnake Choir recently surprised her by playing in her home for her 70th birthday. She asked me to put in a good word (and a CD) to Seamus Cowan at the Cove Inn for Rattlesnake Choir and I’ll be doing just that. Small world… We moved on, walking up Augusta St. and turning right on College where we entered The Free Times Cafe to catch someone we’d seen many times at the Ontario Council of Folk Festival Conferences we attend. We were there to see the Russell Leon Band and were tickled upon arrival to see a musician friend we hadn’t seen in years was opening. Roman Riccio is a singer/songwriter of true musical lineage. His father Pat Riccio Jr. was musical director and keyboard player for Anne Murray and his grandfather was a wonderful saxophone player who had his own Pat Riccio Orchestra in Toronto when I was growing up. It was nice to see Roman plying his trade again, this time backed vocally by Caitlin September. It was quite enjoyable as was Russell Leon. I always feel at home in this venue though I don’t get there often. It’s always special. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention having run into a friend, one of Toronto’s longstanding promoter/publicists, not at one but three of the music events we attended. Richard Flohil was publicist for Downchild Blues Band for 39 years and was the creative genius who brought BB King to Canada for the first time as well as many other greats. I seem to run into him whenever I’m in Toronto. Case in point: When I would arrive on rare Monday nights to the Orbit Room upstairs on College in Toronto to hear Sisters Euclid, one of “guitar-for-hire” Kevin Breit’s bands who would start at 10:30 p.m., most times, there would be Richard. He often comes up to Stewart Park Festival “because he loves the intimacy of it.” He’s currently writing a book of his memoirs which I can’t wait to read. Not bad for someone being 79 years young.

Sunday, June 29: At 7:30 p.m., St. Paul’s United Church in Perth, presents an amazing 40-voice Toronto women’s choir, Cantores Celestes, who are kicking off their 25th anniversary celebrations by performing at St. Paul’s

and whose own choir director Brad Mills raves about this choir. July 19, 20, 21: The 23rd annual Stewart Park Festival in Perth. Support live music everywhere.

on the road, night after night. A bonus came when the Wailers introduced musical friends from the East Coast – Bathurst, New Brunswick – Barry Cooke on keys and vocals and Marc Doucet on guitar who added nicely to the mix and had both sat in on previous recordings. Maple Blues Award winner – Shirley Jackson joined for a few tunes on sax and vocals which was pretty sweet, too. The highlight for me though was this: Just as they were setting up, an old acquaintance strolled on in. Paul DeLong has been an indemand drummer for years and played Stewart Park Festival backing Carlos Del Junco and others, has previously played with Kim Mitchell, Doug Riley, Dominic Troiano, and Tom Scott, to name a few. In recent years he’s played musical theatre, doing the Lion King, Hairspray, Rent and Hair in the US and Canada. He shared his excitement at being there because he now teaches at Humber College, where all the Wailers met in the music program. He was so thrilled to be there to watch Lindsay and how far the band has come. I’ve seen them for the past three years and I’ve got to agree, I just can’t believe how great a sound and show these players have put together. Whew! They’re coming to Stewart Park Festival this year so you’ve got a great opportunity to catch one of Canada’s up and coming great blues bands. It was especially a treat to see Paul sit in during some of the evening when Lindsay got up to play some smoking electric guitar (hey, it was her birthday and she wanted to show us her new toy)! Jesse Whiteley sat in on keys too, which was the icing on the cake for that evening. After surviving two days of intense meetings it was great to be able to wander late Saturday afternoon from our hotel, relaxing through back streets over to a hole in the wall pub I’ve heard about for years but never had an opportunity to visit. We strolled west from the hotel and ended up in Kensington Market, one of the true epicentres of multiculturalism in all its varied colours, tastes, smells and soundscapes. Graffiti’s is on Baldwin, near Augusta, and isn’t very big but has some wonderful talent flowing through it. We lucked in on hearing Rattlesnake Choir. Actually they’re normally a five-piece but we were entertained heartily by John Borra – singer/songwriter/ guitarist who’s past has seen him doing time in the punk scene as a kid, later playing with Ron Sexsmith and Jim Cuddy’s band before heading to more independent roots interests. Fiddle-master Miranda Mulholland (Bowfire, Belle Starr, among others) also provides vocals to Borra’s lead. Now how many times do you walk into a bar and witness a percussion player pull out and effectively utilize cheese graters, a set of three slinkys or a singing saw (the edge of a bent handsaw being bowed)? Well, percussionist

EMC Lifestyle – I don’t know about you but often its unique musical moments that I remember most and on a recent trip to Toronto, I happened onto several. A relatively short streetcar ride took us from our hotel to the unique Cameron House, (northwest corner of Queen St. W and Cameron St.) where Corin Raymond & The Sundowners (Treasa Levasseur – accordion, piano, vocals; David Baxter – guitar, mandolin, vocals; Brian Kobayakawa – upright bass) were playing for their weekly 6 to 8 p.m. gig. Corin established some notoriety this past year by totally funding his latest double CD – Paper Nickels (complete with 144-page booklet outlining the caper) with Canadian Tire (CT) money. He found a recording studio willing to take CT money at par and, through an incredible response of CTC money donated from fans across the country, all via social media, including TV and radio interviews across North America, he was able to record some of his favourite songs written by like-minded musicians. Those troubadours who write, play and promote their own music wherever they can, without the luxury of record company support or radio play. Corin is a songwriter of major proportions. His last CD in 2009, entitled There Will Always Be A Small Time, was my favourite that year and I continually hear other troubadours performing his songs in their set. We were lucky to catch them as they announced this was their last Thursday gig at the Cameron for a while as they were on the road most of the summer. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the wonderful guitar work by David Baxter and all the tasty additions by Treasa and Brian. It’s always a memorable experience. While at the Cameron, I ran into Tom Parker who I’ve seen in various groups over the years including The Backstabbers, Lickin’ Good Fried and most recently Tom Parker & the American Pour. Both our roots are based in Owen Sound in that my parents used to dance to his grandparents band there in their courtship. It was in this same locale a few years ago I actually shared this historical family anecdote with my daughter and was able to introduce her to Tom. Tom introduced me to Devin Cuddy, Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo’s son, who I’ve heard play piano several times sitting in with other groups at the Cameron. Might I suggest you check this young man out for his own abilities because I know you’ll be as impressed as I’ve been. A quick trip got us back to Monarch’s Pub, in the Delta Chelsea (soon to become the Eaton Chelsea) where the 24th St Wailers were just back from an western Tour and ready to unwind and celebrate drummer Lindsay Beaver’s birthday. I especially love it when I’m able to catch a group just getting back from a tour because their show is usually especially tight and filled with all the great little nuances they’ve developed while

Virtually everyone has memories of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II EMC Lifestyle – It seems every year is an anniversary of some significance for Queen Elizabeth II. Hardly surprising given the fact she has been on the throne for 61 years and five months. She is Head of State of the United Kingdom and 15 other Commonwealth realms including Canada. No matter where you live I believe it is safe to say Queen Elizabeth is the most familiar face on the planet. Her lengthy reign is now closing in on the all-time record for a British monarch set by her great, great grandmother Queen Victoria who died in 1901 at age 81. Victoria reigned for 63 years and seven months. That is the longest tenure for any female monarch in history. Queen Elizabeth seems ageless. Her husband and consort Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, just turned 92. He continues to suffer through significant health problems. Although her schedule has been somewhat reduced in recent times the Queen continues to maintain a busy public life that belies her 87 years. Three weeks ago, while the Duke of Edinburgh was undergoing exploratory surgery in a London clinic, his wife visited the new headquarters of the venerable British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in Central London. I am an unashamed Monarchist. Not surprising perhaps considering that I was born the same year a young Princess Elizabeth succeeded her father King George VI who succumbed to lung cancer at the young age of 56. Like most spouses, my wife Kathleen and I don’t see eye-to-eye on every subject. She is more of a Republican than I am. In other words she is less supportive

of the institution of the monarchy. Although I believe her opinion has changed somewhat based on our many visits to the UK and the obvious importance this tradition holds for the island nation. The economic impact of the monarchy is hugely significant. Last year major celebrations were held to mark Queen Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne 60 years earlier. The exact date was Feb. 6, 1952 the day of her father’s untimely passing. The observances included a 1,000boat pageant on the River Thames in Central London. The next day there was a massively attended Diamond Jubilee concert outside Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s London residence. Hundreds of thousands packed ‘The Mall’, the main boulevard leading to the palace, wearing royal masks, waving Union flags and cheering wildly. A star-studded cast of musicians including Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John (both knighted by the Queen at different times) and American singer Stevie Wonder performed and a spectacular fireworks display wrapped up the spectacular. If you like long-running anniversaries, Queen Elizabeth’s is the prototype! Coronation The year 2013 marks the 60th anniversary of her coronation. The event in 1953 was the biggest public spectacle in the British Isles since the end of the Second World War just eight years earlier. The people of Great Britain were still living on rations at the time and went to considerable trouble to hoard enough precious foodstuffs to provide for coronation cakes and celebratory meals.

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

The actual ceremony was held on June 2, 1953 at Westminster Abbey. In front of more than 8,000 guests, including prime ministers and heads of state from around the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth II took the coronation oath and was formally crowned. Shouts of “God Save the Queen” echoed through the streets of historic London amid the firing of salutes in honour of the big occasion. Early this month, on June 3 to be exact, a service was held at the historic abbey to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the coronation. The service included much of the music used during the service six decades earlier. I followed news coverage of the anniversary service. The 2,000 who attended the Westminster Abbey event included former choirboys and maids of honour from the original ceremony. A total of 25 members of the royal family were on hand. Obviously it is a very different royal family today. One image that particularly struck me was a newspaper photograph of the Queen beaming at her daughter-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, the wife of her eldest child and heir apparent Prince Charles. Few people will be unaware of Camilla’s role as Charles’ second wife and

the scandal that accompanied his divorce from the late, much-loved Princess Diana, the mother of his two sons. To say the least Her Majesty, the Duke of Edinburgh and most British citizens were “not amused” by the events which led up to Charles eventual marriage to Camilla. That despite the fact the ceremony was a quiet affair, held long after Princess Diana’s death in the tragic Paris automobile crash in August 1997. My, how times have changed! Despite the trials and tribulations of the royal family I think it can be fairly said that the Queen Elizabeth remains one of the most popular figures in British history. A woman who is respected, even revered, in countries around the world. Many of us, especially people like me who grew up and became much older during her long and successful reign, have their own memories of the Queen. I am an Ottawa native and therefore there were many chances to see her in person. Ottawa, the nation’s capital, has hosted so many visits by Her Majesty over the course of 60 years. Canada has been a favourite destination for the Queen. In fact she has visited Canada 24 times, the most official visits she has made to any nation in the world as queen. Her first full visit was in October 1957 and her most recent was in late June and early July 2010. For the record, if you count brief visits including refueling stops, she has been to Canada an astounding 31 times. That total includes a tour of seven provinces in 1951 on behalf of her ailing father while she was still Princess Elizabeth. I have seen her in person twice in Ottawa. I vividly remember standing in

front of Rideau Hall in October 1964 with my parents and two of my three siblings (my youngest sister wasn’t born yet) and seeing the smiling Queen as her limousine drove slowly past. We were standing near the main gate of the Governor General’s official residence. Her 1964 tour was held despite threats made against her by the Quebec-based separatist organization which went by the acronym FLQ. Undeterred, the Queen came to Canada anyone albeit amid tight security. In the 1970s (October 1977 I believe) Kathy and I saw the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh while we were attending an Ottawa Rough Riders (Canadian Football League) game at Lansdowne Park. We had a very good look at her, through binoculars, as she dutifully sat through the first half of the Rough Riders’ game at Lansdowne Park during yet another visit to Ottawa. Something tells me she isn’t a big CFL fan? No matter what you think of the Queen and the monarchy it is impossible to ignore the fact that she is an iconic figure whose reign covered nearly half the 20th Century and has extended well into the 21st, the so-called “New Millennium.” Given her apparent good health, there is a strong likelihood she will eclipse Queen Victoria’s reign. I’m sure many of you have personal memories of Queen Elizabeth II? I would be pleased if you would share them with me by email. Your memories might even make another column!

Kemptville’s Giant Tiger store moves to new location By JOSEPH MORIN Joe.morin@metroland.com

EMC Business - It was an early start for the new Giant Tiger store in Kemptville. The store officially opened its doors at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning, June 19. By 7 a.m. a line-up of at least 100 people had gathered at the front of the new location. Opening ceremonies had been planned to begin at 7:30 a.m. and the crowd gathering at the store wanted to be first to get a peek inside. The new Giant Tiger in Kemptville is owned and operated by Harry Haider. He came to Kemptville two years ago with his family to take over the local operation across from the B&H Grocery store in Old Town Kemptville. He took over from Ross Muir who was moving on to a bigger Giant Tiger location in Smiths falls. Haider likes to be part of the community. “I like to be involved with the community,” he said. “This is a very beautiful community.” The rationale behind taking his store up to the new location was simple. “I wanted to be able to give shoppers a better shopping experience and to be able to provide better customer service,” said Haider. “We did the best that we could in the old store,” he said, “but we can beat any competitor with our superior customer service.” The store is located in the former Canadian Tire building across the road from the Kemptville Colonnade Business Park. The old store was right in the middle of Old Town Kemptville and had been a landmark business at that location for the past 25 years. Now in an effort to remain competitive and be able to service more of its customers better, the store moved up to County Road 43. It now can boast of more than 15,300 square feet, almost double what it had before. The master of ceremonies for the ribbon cutting was Diana Fisher, The Accidental Farmwife columnist with the Advance. The national anthem was sung by Mrs. Tobi Szufranowicz. Rounding out the list of special guests

was the Giant Tiger mascot. Gord Brown, Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville said a few words at the opening ceremony. “It will be a real addition to the North Grenville community,” he said. “This is a great location for the new Giant Tiger store,” he said. “It is nice to see a Canadian store take a lead role,” he added. Giant Tiger is the leading Canadianowned family discount store, which is committed to setting trends for family fashions, groceries and everyday items. The store was established in Ottawa’s Byward Market in 1961. Since then it has grown to more than 200 stores across Canada and a workforce of over 7,000 team members. North Grenville Mayor David Gordon, a former police officer, can remember when he worked in the Ottawa Byward Market walking right by the original Giant Tiger store on Dalhousie Street. “This is a big store and will serve North Grenville very well,” said Brown. “The store has grown with the North Grenville community,” said Gordon. “Even though it has grown it has not forgotten its roots.” As North Grenville’s economic pot continues to simmer, the arrival of a newer and bigger Giant Tiger store is good news for the community. “There is a real positive buzz here,” said Brown. “Things keep growing and it is all good news.” Giant Tiger used the ribbon cutting ceremony as an opportunity to present the Kemptville Hospital Foundation with a cheque for $1,000 and the Kemptville Youth Centre a cheque for $1,200. The Executive Director of he Kemptville Youth Centre Robin Heald was at the opening. “I want to thank Giant Tiger for making youth a priority in North Grenville,” she said. “Your consistent investment in our next generation reaps amazing rewards that I get to see every day,” said Heald. Store hours are: Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation continues to play significant role with local businesses By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Kemptville business owners expressed their appreciation of the Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation during their annual general meeting at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on June 21, 2013. “Thank you to everyone at the CFDC for all your help,� said Samantha McLean, owner of Candy For You in Kemptville. “I’m very fortunate to have taken part in the SEB (Self Employment Benefit) program.� McLean said she thought she knew everything about running a business until she started the program. She said the SEB program introduced her to all sorts of resources that allowed her to improve her business. The Grenville CFDC loaned $2.2 million to 33 new and existing businesses in Grenville County over the course of the last fiscal job, impacting 216 jobs in

the region. Lynne LeBlanc, owner of Go 4 Eco in North Grenville, said applying to be part of the CFDC intake program was one of the best decisions she ever made. “The program is amazing,� said LeBlanc. “There’s lots of information. This program really helps entrepreneurs get their feet on the ground and take off running.� Since being established 23 years ago, Grenville CFDC has loaned $19.1 million to more than 450 new and existing businesses in Grenville County, impacting 2,700 jobs. Jason Motard, owner of Tekken Martial Arts Academy Inc. in Kemptville, said he reached a point after retiring from being a professional athlete three years ago where he didn’t know what steps to take next. “I was part of the SEB program within a month,� said Motard. “I found it very informative. Taking part in the program saved

me a lot of trouble and money.� Through the delivery of the Eastern Ontario Development Program, Grenville CFDC invested $831,000 in 77 Grenville County businesses and community development projects in the last fiscal year. “The Grenville CFDC does great work,� said MP of LeedsGrenville Gord Brown. “It helps create jobs and economic development throughout the region.� Brown said the program has now attained long-term sustainability. He said he is proud to be part of a government body that is so focused on economy. “These organizations have done tremendous work over the last decade, creating jobs,� said Steve Clark, MPP of LeedsGrenville. North Grenville Mayor David Gordon expressed his gratitude towards the Grenville CFDC for helping entrepreneurs in Grenville County.

We are the engine because of organizations like the CFDC.�

Gordon said the CFDC is a hand-up for small business owners with a vision, but who need a boost financially. The Grenville CFDC is a community based,

non-profit corporation funded primarily by the Government of Canada through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario.

Temporary reduction of speed limit for Townline Rd. EMC News - Council has passed a bylaw lowering the current speed limit of 80 km/h to 60 km/h until the reconstruction completion. Towline Rd. is currently experiencing an increase in vehicular traffic as the designated construction detour route during the re-construction of the County Rd. 44 railway bridge. Public works staff expressed concern for the safety of the travelling public on Townline Rd. Staff have been in

contact with the OPP and discussed the temporary speed reduction. The area is predominantly residential and is not used to the number of vehicles currently utilizing this route. The reconstruction is estimated to be completed by November 30, 2013. Speed signs indicating the new limit will be erected at either end of the new zone.

North Gower resident Dylan Stephenson publishes novel EMC News - Kids are capable of amazing things – like penning a novel for instance. Dylan Stephenson, an 11 year-old resident of North Gower, has turned his dream into reality by publishing his first novel entitled ‘Castle Sandstone.’ Stephenson has always had a passion for writing, according to his mother Jane. “Dylan has always been a big reader,” said Jane. The book is an adventure story about Castle Sandstone coming under attack. One of the characters, Zena, finds out that 15,000 cavalry are about to strike the castle. Meanwhile, the main character Richard, an 11 year-old boy, is out in the forest attempting to track down a small contingent of five knights. He realizes quickly the task may have been too big for him and wonders if he expected too much of himself. Stephenson worked on the book for a year and a half, starting during March break 2012. He was a fourth grader when he set out on the venture of writing a book and a sixth grader when he became a published author. “It was difficult for him to find spare time to do it and focus,” said Jane. However, his determination and opt-

ing to write rather than play video games really paid off. He completed the book in September 2012 and it was published in January 2013. The company KidPub published Stephenson’s book and pays him royalties for every copy sold – a big step up from doing a paper route. A supply teacher provided the inspiration necessary for Stephenson’s endeavor. Jane explained that Dylan had a supply teacher who was a writer, which motivated him to attempt writing his own book. Stephenson donated a copy of ‘Castle Sandstone’ to the North Gower branch of the Ottawa Public Library and the library at St. Leonard Catholic School in Manotick, where he is a student. Stephenson has begun working on a second book, which features the main character Richard from ‘Castle Sandstone,’ but in a different scenario. Stephenson has also kept busy by dabbling in poetry. He entered the Awesome Authors contest at the Ottawa Public Library and won third prize with his poem entitled ‘Hunter.’ “There’s not a single writer in the family,” said Jane. “He’s just a very creative kid.” The ultimate fate of Zena, Richard and Castle Sandstone can be discovered Submitted photo by purchasing a copy of the book, which is available online at www.kidpub.com. Dylan attended a book signing at the North Gower

branch of the Ottawa Public Library on June 15.

EMC News – Downtown residents of Kemptville were awoken abruptly on the morning of June 19 to the sounds of sirens and chaos. An organized raid on suspected drug dealers living at 10 Water St. was conducted at 6 a.m. Vitality Fitness employee Brody Richardson was leading a fitness class when a client rushed over to tell him about the convoy of police vehicles pulling up across the street. “There was a bunch of SUVs, a couple unmarked cars and a white van,” said Richardson. “They were in military colours and carrying what appeared to be machine guns.” The sight of camouflage and automatic weaponry is enough to wake anyone up in the morning. “They definitely weren’t local police,” said Richardson. In fact, they were members of the Controlled Drug Action Team, OPP Tactical Response Team, the OPP Emergency Response Team, the OPP Identification Unit and the OPP Canine

Unit. Members of the aforementioned departments entered the residence and arrested six individuals. A search of the residence resulted in the seizure of marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, psilocybin (magic mushrooms), a large quantity of money, pellet guns, knives and batons. The four male residents of 10 Water St. are all charged with possession for the purpose to traffic cocaine, possession for the purpose to traffic crack cocaine, possession for the purpose to traffic psilocybin, possession for the purpose to traffic marijuana. The accused were held in custody for a bail hearing in Brockville Court on June 20, 2013. A 17 year-old male from North Grenville and a 17 year-old female from Toronto have also been charged with possession for the purpose to traffic the above mentioned substances. They can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The youth were released from custody to a parent and are scheduled to appear in Kemptville Court on Aug. 7. If you have any information regarding the arrests, please contact the OPP.

We’re having a heat wave...

E

MC Editorial -Some hate the humidity, some revel in it, but whichever side you’re on, summer is officially here and along with it, those muggy temperatures. Lanark County is in the midst of its first heat alert of the summer season, which began a few short days ago on June 21. Due to temperatures expected to reach the high thirties (which could feel like over 40 degrees with the Humidex), the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit issued a heat alert on Monday, June 24. Summer is a favourite season of many, but the heat and humidity that often goes along with it is nothing to take lightly. According to the health unit, this dangerous mix can cause dehydration, heat stroke, heat exhaustion and even in some cases, death. While everyone is at risk, it is particularly the elderly, those with chronic illnesses or on specific medications, infants and preschool children, as well as those who work outdoors or participate in physical activity for long periods of time, that are particularly susceptible. During these heat waves, it’s important to be better safe than sorry and exercise common sense. You wouldn’t want to spend hours out in the scorching heat, so don’t leave your children or pets parking in cars or sleeping outside in the direct sunlight. There have been too many cases of infants or dogs being left in vehicles, just so their parent or owner could zip into the mall to get that item they desperately needed. In some instances, the errand isn’t such a quick one and can have a fatal

E

outcome. It’s selfish and thoughtless and people should know better. In temperatures such as the ones we’re facing this week, it doesn’t take long for one lapse in judgment to have tragic effects. Although the health unit recommends staying indoors with the drapes shut and keeping lights turned down low, if you have no choice but to be outside, make sure regular breaks are taken in the shade and drink plenty of water and fruit juices throughout the day. Don’t drink liquids too fast, sip them often throughout the day. Try to avoid alcoholic beverages, cola and coffee and stick to consuming foods with high water content to avoid dehydration. This includes fruit such as oranges, grapes and watermelon. Remember to wear loose fitting and light clothing and always have a hat on hand to block out the sun’s harmful rays. Don’t forget that SPF either. If you have access to air conditioning, use it. If it is unavailable, maintaining low energy activities, visiting public facilities with air conditioning (malls and libraries), relaxing at a pool, or taking periodic cool baths and using wet towels to beat the heat. Fans should be used in the evening to draw in cool air, but the health unit advises against using them as primary cooling devices. Avoiding using ovens and other appliances, such as dryers, can also help keep your home cooler. If you do find yourself experiencing symptoms like nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty breathing, severe headaches or confusion, fever or convulsion, get to a hospital as soon as possible.

The Farmwife learns the challenges of dealing with ailing cats

MC Lifestyle - I was sitting at The Branch Restaurant the other night after work, having a rather high-brow conversation about the etymology of certain well-used phrases in common English. Sayings that we use while having no idea what they mean or where they came from. For example, “rule of thumb.” I was most shocked to discover that this saying, which we use as a sort of measurement of logic, comes from the rule that it was okay for a man to beat his wife with a stick if said stick was smaller than the width of his thumb. When I taught English to business professionals in Asia, they wanted explanations for the slang that they saw in emails from their Western associates overseas. I had to look them up before explaining them, of course. We know how to use these sayings (in most cases), but we don’t always know what they mean. I had to explain a cash cow and putting the cart before the horse, as many of my ESL students were quite concerned that they didn’t own farm animals of any type, yet their business respondents kept referring to

than herding cats”. Farm cats – the feral type – are so wild you never really know how they are going to react in any given situation. Sometimes I think even they don’t know how they will react.

I’ve seen this before, but it was on a cat who would actually let me touch and treat her wound. Nosey, although pleasant, meek and mild, will not allow anyone to touch her. I had to lock her in the basement, wait until the wound opened on its own, and then catch her in a fishing net to treat it. I held the net down and screamed for the Farmer. He helped me to hold her down and treat her. She got a head-to-toe once-over with antiseptic on her wound, an antibiotic and flea spray for good measure. She did protest once – first time I’ve

Faced with this experience, Nosey showed she is all flight and no fight, for which I am truly grateful. Now she will stay in the basement with her food and water, sleeping in the living room of the dollhouse, until her wound is completely healed. And for her good behaviour, she might get a few extra cat treats.

Hospital and the University of Guelph – Kemptville Campus to fully realize their potential as economic generators, launch a communications and promotion campaign, prepare a long-term plan to improve the quality of the natural environment, develop and promote an annual program of downtown events, and many other elements of improvement for the community. The plan, which has proven incredibly successful over the past nine years, begins with the consultation process. A summit was held on March 2, 2013 at the North Grenville Municipal Center to get members of the community together and enable them to swap ideas. Roughly 330 residents attended the summit and provided input utilized to mold the plan. An online survey was also conducted. “We’ve had significant input from residents, the business community and staff members,” said Ian Duff of McSweeney & Associates. Duff said the vision for North Grenville took shape in 2006 and the community as a whole made great strides to accomplish the goals it outlined.

By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – The North Grenville community has accomplished all it set out to do in terms of economic growth – but why stop there? A continuation of the Community Strategic Plan, which was designed by McSweeney & Associates and implemented in 2006, was adopted at the council meeting on June 24. Eric McSweeney of McSweeney & Associates said the reason they do what they do is to be able to witness growth in communities, which is precisely what they’ve seen upon returning to North Grenville. The Municipality of North Grenville is one of Eastern Ontario’s fastest growing municipalities, with an estimated population of 15,651. “North Grenville is our prime example of things happening that we help the community facilitate,” said McSweeney. In 2006, the plan involved the creation of the Business Retention and Expansion Alliance, launch of the economic development website, working with the Kemptville District

However, Duff said there is still work to be done in order to get closer to the vision for North Grenville. “The new plan builds on our past success,” said Duff. The plan is based around seven primary themes; arts, culture and heritage, the revitalization of downtown Kemptville, economic development, recreation and amenities, sustaining the rural way of life, environmental sustainability and transportation. “It’s great to be here to take you forward,” said Duff. The main goals include creating opportunities for North Grenville residents to better express themselves artistically, continuing the revitalization process in downtown Kemptville, enabling diversification in the community by creating jobs, satisfying the recreational needs of all ages, ensuring the preservation of the rural way of life, integrating environmental sustainability into everyday life, and keeping residents moving by increasing the availability of transportation. The next step is the continuation of the plan and deciding what additional targets the community wants to reach.

Construction continues From front page

Across the street from the pub, Salamanders Restaurant has experienced a 25 per cent drop in business. Beth Cormier, one of the owners of Salamanders, stated the biggest issue was accessibility. She explained their clientele was primarily middle aged or older and won’t opt to walk around the construction for a meal. The restaurant has had to cut staff hours due to the decrease in business. Cormier

said it’s hard enough to run a business without the interference of construction. Karen Dunlop, North Grenville Director of Public Works, said the project began in early May and is estimated to be completed sometime in October. “Basically we’re replacing the 1950s underground infrastructure,” said Dunlop. “The old pipes were falling apart and undersized. “We’re replacing them to prepare for the next 50 years.”

Personal trainer seeks to send people in right direction sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

EMC Lifestyle – Catherine Swail knows all about reaching goals. After working in the education sector as a supply teacher in New Brunswick and then her hometown of Kemptville, Swail decided to take a step back to assess her career as she felt she wasn’t stretching to her full potential both personally and professionally. “I decided that I was looking for a career that would allow me to both teach and educate people,� she said. Now Swail, a personal trainer, has the ability to do both. Her journey in fitness began quite a few years ago when she was in university and not feeling confident about her body. From then on, she went to the gym to train consistently, started to eat healthier, and in turn, gained back control of her lifestyle. “I didn’t see a connection between nutrition and exercising when I was in school,� she said, recalling her high school years. “I grew up on cafeteria food. But when I started to go to the gym years later, I started to see the results.� The momentum continued, and soon she found herself pairing training and clean eating (no preservatives, non-packaged, expirydate written food, for instance) to get to where she is today. But it didn’t come without a

Local personal trainer Catherine Swail knows the path to eating healthy and finding the perfect fitness combination is often difficult. struggle, the same struggle people can experience as they strive to achieve their own goals, said Swail. “Being a personal trainer has helped me to reach my own goals,� she said. With a passion for trying new, clean recipes to help fuel her body and curb her sweet tooth, coupled with a good work-out, exercise has become her outlet for handling what life throws at her. After receiving her personal trainer certificate from canfitpro, she started up her own business, Whole Body Personal Training and Fitness. Prior to that, she

tried different forms of personal training and found one that stuck: metabolic training. The idea behind metabolic training, Swail said, is to give the whole body an intense, heart-pumping, cardiovascular and muscular work-out, with little rest in between. It maximizes one’s metabolism by giving them more energy during the day and night. “They can see results and work a lot harder in that small frame of time,� she said. “You don’t have to spend a lot of time on the equipment.� Clean eating is the other half of metabolic training. “It’s not so much a diet but a lifestyle,� she said. “Healthy eating is part of a good lifestyle habit. And while you’re not going to eat healthy and perfect 100 per cent of your life, you’ll have more relaxed meals.� Her personal training business has kept her busy in the area, teaching group classes twice a week in Burritts Rapids, as well as doing one-on-one personal training. She modifies the training programs to suit the individual’s fitness goals, she added, which is an important part of the package. “I usually sit down with them for a bit to talk about where they see themselves in a year from that date,� she said. “It takes 12 weeks to start seeing full changes. It’s not something that can happen overnight. I also find out from them what type of exercises they’d like

to do, and from there, we start the program.� For her clients, having someone who understands the weight loss struggle and the battle to maintain a healthy groove is an added bonus. “I understand where these types of people come from,� she said. “I like guiding them in the right direction when they’re still not losing weight, or when they don’t know when to start. It’s just nice to know that I can help send them in the right direction.� Some of the healthy tips Swail abides by in her daily life includes eating real, honest-to-goodness food (the longer the shelf life of a food, the better, she said), incorporating strength training into one’s exercise routine, don’t go to the gym five days a week; allow one’s muscles the chance to have a break. “Don’t look at the scale because what you want to focus on is your body fat percentage going down and muscle strength to go up,� she said. “You want to focus on that muscleto-fat ratio.� Swail also works at Anytime Fitness in Kemptville, teaching a High Intensity class and can’t see herself stopping anytime soon. “I’ve been really enjoying educating people that want to be taught, and have goals they want to reach,� she said. “The experience has been a great start to help people reach their goals.�

me nuts. We work so hard to grow healthy attractive plants that will thrive in our zone and the boss spends a fortune in propane to make sure they make it through the wild swings of temperature in our area. I’m of the opinion that people will pay for quality. That’s why we subscribe to PBS. Not a gouging price but a reasonable price. I’m at that age when things that are important take priority. I don’t have time for cheapskates. I don’t know why some people feel a sense of entitlement. They want it pretty but they want someone else to do the work. It keeps our landscaping crews employed but it’s not their garden. It’s someone else’s vision of a garden. I just can’t imagine having someone else design and plant something as personal as your garden. Angie has always said, “If only people with money had taste and people with taste had moneyâ€?. I guess I’m old school. I want to tend my own garden. I want to ďŹ nish my career in gardening dealing with “Dear hearts and Gentle Peopleâ€?. So far I’ve been incredibly lucky. I have come to know so many nice people that love to garden. And I know them by name. It really does make a difference. It’s not magic. Give people what they want at a reasonable price. That’s why we love PBS and that’s why we garden. If you have any gardening questions, contact us at the link below. info@oraldesignlandscaping.com

Today in the mail, our thank you gift for renewing our membership to PBS arrived. It was a six CD set of the music of the 50’s. We would subscribe without the gifts but it’s a nice bonus. Their programing includes all the things we are interested in. Gardening, travel, photography, cooking and yes Lawrence Welk. (You have to remember that I’m ofďŹ cially a geezer). I popped in one CD at random and one of the tunes was Bing Crosby singing “Dear hearts and Gentle Peopleâ€?. For the most part, that describes most of our customers. Over the last few years I have come to know some dear hearts and gentle people. I know them by name and I know how they garden. I have had so many people tell me that they enjoy this column. That makes it all worthwhile. They learn something and they enjoy reading about the family, the ducks and all the mistakes we make in our garden. We are looking forward to meeting some of my readers on July 7th. As I’ve said, we don’t do perfect. There are weeds and there are wonders. Every time we do “walkiesâ€?, we ďŹ nd surprises. Roses that we didn’t think had made the winter, hostas that have survived the onslaught of ten hens and new growth in the meadow. Gardeners are for the most part gentle people. I have a copy of the “Desiderataâ€? posted in the kitchen. One of the lines says, “Avoid loud and aggressive people, they are vexations to the soulâ€?. When I do get a customer that is loud and aggressive they seem to think they are entitled to a discount. They are the ones that drive

ASHTON, Arthur – In loving memory of my husband who passed away June 29, 2011. You knew I would miss you and tried so hard to stay, But the hardest thing I ever had to do is to be here alone without you day after day. I find myself just sitting and I look over at your chair, And I almost think I can really see you still sitting there. Life for you was getting hard and I know you had to go, As many years of failing health was really taking its toll. Please God put your arms around him and tell him how much I care, And how I look so forward to being with him up there. So for now, I carry on, as our family needs me, and I know they miss you too, But one by one someday we will all be together with you. To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. Miss you Love You Forever, Your Wife, Helen Beaupre

JUBY, Dale – In precious memory of my darling husband Dale who walked through Heaven’s Gate June 24th, 2012. The moment that you died, My heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart, and there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, but it never will be the same. Sometimes I think I’m dreaming I can’t believe it’s true If I could have a lifetime wish A dream that would come true I would pray with all my heart For yesterday and you Until we meet again, Forever and always, your loving wife and friend, Diane

GUTKNECHT, Eric Leslie William June 25, 2010 of Kemptville. We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and the day before that, too. We think of you in silence, we often say your name, But all we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our heart. We shed tears for what might have been, a million times we’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, In our heart you hold a place, no one could ever fill. It broke our heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God took you Home.

DUGDALE, Wayne Ernest – In loving memory of Wayne who passed away June 29, 2012. One year today our brother was called To his eternal rest; Gone where the angels sing so sweet, And taken when God knew best. We miss him here so very much, His presence oft seems nigh, But we all hope in Heaven to meet Where no one says goodbye. Sadly missed by your family

WATT, David, 19572008 – Today seems like such a normal day To those who do not know. To me it has been five long years, Since I had to let you go. I have our family here with me And I know they miss you too, But I have a loneliness in my heart, That belongs just to you. Life together was gone in a wink, Life isn’t as long as we would like to think. To those people whom so many times have cried, Thank you for understanding That a part of me died. Miss you and Jacob With all my love Jo

Miller’s Bay Farm gears up for strawberry season, launches food box program EMC News – Imagine picking strawberries in a tranquil setting with the Rideau Canal just a stone’s throw away, or picking up a food box brimming with fresh produce, grown by people you know by name. At Miller’s Bay Farm, this is reality. Miller’s Bay Farm, located on Rideau Ferry Road, offers locally-grown, farm fresh produce for every season. The family has been farming for four generations and the farm’s road-side stand has become a landmark over the years. “We were both raised on a farm and we appreciate that lifestyle,” said owner Shannon Miller, who operates the farm with her husband, Robert, and their four children. “We’re delighted to raise our children in the same environment.” Miller’s Bay Farm is currently on the cusp of strawberry season – and it’s shaping up to be a banner one. This year has yielded twice as many strawberries to feast on, Miller said. With the season starting now, the pick-your-own operation is ready to welcome families and strawberry enthusiasts of all ages. Of course, there are also pre-picked strawberries ready to enjoy, too. “We’re really pleased with the way the patch is looking,” she said. The Miller’s Bay Farm berry patch is unique in that the pick-your-own fields are beautifully back-dropped by the Rideau Canal. “Families are more than welcome – we encourage families to make memories with us and experience picking here,” she said, adding that strawberry picking is a great way to establish the food-to-plate connection with children. To continue the tradition of sharing their locally-grown produce, Miller’s Bay Farm is launching a food box program this year. Miller said the family decided to add the new program to the mix as it was requested by customers and is beneficial on numerous levels. “It’s a good way for people to expand their food horizons,” she said. The program works so that customers pre-pay to pick up a weekly box of freshly-harvested produce. Beginning the first week of July, the box will host an assortment of what is in season each AUCTIONS

week for 15 weeks. “We’re keeping it simple, but due to the nature of farming, we won’t know ahead of time what types of produce will be in the basket each week,” Miller said, noting the weekly change of produce also adds an element of anticipation. She said participating in the food box program allows for a built-in cost savings for the customer when comparing it to the foodstand prices. “This way, new customers also get a good taste of all the things available from our farm,” Miller said. But travelling to the farm isn’t the only option for enjoying fresh produce grown close to home. For the third year, a Miller’s Bay Farm produce stand will be conveniently located in Perth in front of Penny’s Pit Stop Restaurant on Highway 7 east. “We have a lot of customers from Perth and although the farm is only a few minutes out of town, we thought it would be beneficial to bring our produce closer, to serve our customers,” Miller said. The stand will be at that location starting when strawberries become available and continuing throughout the summer.

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society private garden tour July 6 EMC Lifestyle – Once upon a time there were six enchanted gardens. These gardens were the home of magical creatures, plants and objects, and all was wonderful. Until, that is, a wicked sorceress cast a spell that caused the animals to be turned to stone and the objects to lose their powers. The plants were sad at this and, while continuing on with their lives, they no longer danced in the light of the sun and the moon. But then, it was decreed that on the

magical date of July 6, a group of brave gardeners would set forth to find the magical creatures and objects in the gardens and only by finding all 12 would the spell be broken and the gardens returned to their former joy. Are you one of these brave gardeners? All you need to do is contact Mark Stevens at 613-928-2652 or mkbjstevens@ripnet.com to purchase a $15 ticket that will open the gates to the six gardens and to a chicken barbecue

at Delta fairgrounds too, once you’ve completed your task. The gardens will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 6. Barbecue and prizes to follow. Come join in the fun for the return of the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society’s tour of private gardens in the township, scavenger hunt and chicken barbecue. Coming up on July 3 is the regular monthly meeting of the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society at the Portland Community Hall at 7:15 p.m. This

month’s guest speaker is Carol Dunk, master gardener and past president of the Ontario Horticultural Society. Carol will present Internet gardening spots, a great trip down the garden path for a rainy day. Monthly meetings are free to members, with membership a mere $15 a year. Non-members pay a $5 entry fee for each meeting, making the annual membership a real deal! Come join us! Submitted by the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society.

Nominations now being accepted for Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation scholarship EMC News – Canada has one of the highest reported prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the world and 20 to 30 per cent of people with IBD are diagnosed before the age of 20. To support Canadian students living with IBD and raise awareness about this chronic disease, the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program is accepting nominations from young people living with IBD. In partnership with the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC), the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program is designed to award students who are living well with IBD, and strive to sustain an optimal level of wellness allowing them to excel while inspiring others to do the same. Through an unrestricted educational grant by AbbVie, CCFC will extend seven one-time scholarships of up to $5,000 CAN to students living with IBD who are entering into or are currently attending a post-secondary educational institution. Students of all ages are welcome to apply and the scholarship can be used for any Canadian post-secondary institution.

“I am committed to living each day to the fullest and I’m so grateful to the CCFC and AbbVie for giving me the opportunity and inspiration to push harder and help me excel at my academic goals,” says Clinton Shard, one of seven 2012 “gutsy” scholarship winners. “While the monetary scholarship provides an incentive, it also represents an investment in assisting students living with IBD and helping us achieve our dreams.” Through initiatives such as the scholarship program, AbbVie aims to continue accelerating the recognition of the burden of IBD and help further the global dissemination of evolving approaches to better care for people living with IBD. “AbbVie is proud to partner again this year with CCFC for the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program. This initiative is a great example of a partnership that makes a difference in people’s lives,” states Felipe Pastrana, general manager of AbbVie Canada. “While our name, AbbVie, has changed – our commitment to the IBD community endures. Over THE EMC - 36 - Thursday, June 27, 2013

the years, AbbVie has shown continued commitment to people living with IBD by helping organizations and health care providers alike better understand the impact of these diseases on people’s lives. AbbVie recognizes the need for better disease diagnosis and monitoring to help improve the lives of millions of people affected by this chronic and debilitating disease.” IBD incidence rates on rise Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, is a group of disorders that causes the intestines to become inflamed and ulcerated. This is caused by an abnormal response of the body’s immune system. A recent survey conducted by the CCFC found that 69 percent of people who had IBD when they were young were delayed in completing their postsecondary education. Eighty-nine per cent who had IBD as a child felt that they could have achieved more at school without their disease. Since there is currently no known cure or cause, young people need strategies to achieve their best long-term health despite their diagnosis.

Scholarship details The AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program, in partnership with CCFC, is designed for applicants of any age entering into or attending a Canadian-based post-secondary institution. Applicants must be: • A legal and permanent resident of Canada; • Diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease by a physician; • Seeking an associate’s, undergraduate, or graduate degree from a Canadian university; college; or enrolled in a trade school educational program; Enrolled in or awaiting acceptance from a Canadian-based post-educational institution for the fall semester of 2013; and A student who demonstrates academic aspiration and strives to sustain an optimal level of wellness in spite of their IBD, allowing them to excel to reach their personal and academic goals and inspiring others to do the same.

Shawn Yakomivick, Katie Nolan and Adam entertained the folks at the Splash Pad Committee’s launch party on Saturday morning at Riverside Park. lies together during the long hot summers. “Young children need to stay cool and, while the public outdoor pool is great, it is not feasible for parents with multiple children. A splash pad is something kids of all ages and swimming abilities can enjoy in a safe and unstructured play environment.” These comments were echoed by the local Madison Montessori owner, April Hughes, who is in the process of organizing a day trip to Riverside South for young students at her school this summer. “Obviously, we’d definitely prefer to not have to hire a bus to take kids outside of our community for something like this. We have more than 100 kids at our school - and growing and, in the summer, we are constantly looking for things to do. ” Organizers of the event met with Councilor Barb Tobin and Mark Guy, Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture for North Grenville in the week leading up to the event. They reported that, while the meeting was generally positive, Tobin and Guy both made it clear that a splash pad is not necessarily an immediate priority for the

community, if at all. It has been pointed out that competing budgetary demands for recreational options include an additional baseball diamond, a sledding hill, and the maintenance required on existing facilities. Regardless, the community splash pad committee has been strongly encouraged to participate in the Riverside Park Re-development consultation slated for this summer. The committee has been told it will most likely be invited to a meeting with the consultant to be hired. North Grenville residents will also be invited to complete a survey about what they would like to see in the park. In the meantime, the splash pad committee will continue to build community support for the initiative. Organizers have said that they have already secured the support of the Rotary Club. “We recognize that a community splash pad is a financial investment for the community and one that we believe would pay off in spades. It could provide a boost to local businesses and a recreational option for caregivers and daycares. But, most importantly, it would go a long way to promoting the physical activity and well-being of North Grenville’s

youngest residents,” emphasized Kay Mckee, parent, teacher and member of the committee. Organizers plan to host a fundraising event later in August with the goal of raising up to 25 percent of the cost of a community splash pad. A community splash pad need not be cost prohibitive. Costs can vary anywhere between $75,000 and $150,000, depending on the size and number of water features. Maintenance is not complicated or exorbitant. The success of the event was aided by the support of many local groups, businesses and individuals, including Cherished Cherubs Child Care/Your Child Report who provided water play, local teacher Anastasia Wiggins for face painting, Louise and Company who donated balloons, Madison Montessori for web and promotional support as well as To Be Continued and the Kemptville District Soccer Club for promotional assistance.

EMC News - The North Grenville Splash Pad Committee held a very successful and well attended launch party on Saturday June 22 at Riverside Park in Kemptville. Spirits were not dampened by rain showers, in fact they just served to highlight that kids, families, and good spirits go hand in hand with water! The event brought together parents, grandparents, care-givers, local businesses and other residents from North Grenville and beyond. The energy was high with kids running around, hula hooping, playing with bubbles and water games and dancing. Adding to the atmosphere were Kerry, Sue and Shannon Badgely who volunteered their time to play their well loved kids’ songs as well as duo Shawn Yakomivick and Katie Nolan who provided festive fiddling music . Local childcare specialist and mother of three, Cynthia Potschka, of Cherished Cherubs noted, “It was wonderful to see kids running and playing outside, just as they should. And even better, I saw many adults engaged with their neighbours, talking, sharing ideas, and making connections. These are the reasons that this is a community initiative. It will take a community to build it and it will, in turn, help build our community.” Nearly all those who attended the event took a moment to sign a letter of support for the initiative, and agreed that a community splash pad would be a significant recreational enhancement for young families in the region. Many residents expressed their frustration at having to drive outside of the community throughout the summer in order to provide a water safe, barrier free, outdoor play option for young children. “Given how quickly North Grenville is growing and how many young families it is attracting, a community splash pad is an obvious recreational amenity for the kids who live here,” said Kim Matthew, local resident with two small children. New resident Jill Sturdy underscored that a splash pad would be a wonderful way to bring new fami-

O’Farrell Financial Services opens new office in Winchester jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – The O’Farrell Financial group continues to grow by opening a new office in Winchester on June 20, 2013. “It is very nice to be here in Winchester,” said Dermid O’Farrell, owner of O’Farrell Financial Services. “We’re very happy to be here.” O’Farrell Financial Services began operations in the basement of Dermid and Donna Lee’s home in 1997. From 2000 to 2007, the business was based out of an office on South Gower Drive, in the industrial park. In 2007, O’Farrell Financial Services moved operations to the new building in Kemptville. Three years later, in 2010, the business expanded to include an office in Brockville. Another three years have elapsed and a third office has opened in Winchester. “We would like to thank Bruce Kerr, the owner of Winchester Financial, for building the business up over so many years,” said O’Farrell. “This is a tremendous fit for O’Farrell Financial.” O’Farrell said there was a great team in Winchester already, consisting of Joanne Moran, Shirley Stewart and Jeff Riddell, all three of whom

worked previously for Winchester Financial. “The guiding principle that already existed in Winchester Financial fits in with the planning process O’Farrell Financial practises,” said O’Farrell. The interior of the new office is a gleaming example of what you can accomplish with hard work and determination. Prospective clients will be impressed by the professionally homey feel the office exudes. The hardwood floors, skilful arrangement of furniture and understated details are enough to impress the most worldly of designers. “We would like to thank Vince Zandbelt for the great renovation at 504 St. Lawrence St. in Winchester, where the new office is located,” said O’Farrell. O’Farrell said the business is now in a strong position in Eastern Ontario with three offices up and running. The business that began as a husband and wife team has now grown to employ 23 people. O’Farrell said the business is still in the growth faze and looks forward to future endeavours. “Winchester is a great community,” said O’Farrell. “We look forward to serving and giving back to the community. Thanks to everyone who came out for the grand opening and making the day such a huge success.”

Local graduate of Food, Nutrition and Risk Management Program offers nutritional advice

EMC Lifestyle - As my daughter Jennifer walked across the podium to collect her hard earned Algonquin College diploma, I promised myself that I would go to school. I dropped out of high school and learned the value of education the hard way. My life has been blessed with a wonderful and supportive husband, great family and two beautiful, intelligent children and a grand-child that I am so very proud of. We have always been fighters and as a family faced life head-on. I was a mother, grandmother, author, lecturer, cashier, post-mistress, traveller, social worker, caterer and volunteer. The only person I failed to take care of was myself. I weighed anywhere from 180 lbs. to 230 lbs. throughout the years. At 46 years old, I was on medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I felt unhealthy and was constantly seeking my doctor looking for a quick solution. The word hypochondriac comes to mind. I knew the answer, but did not want to change. The whole, eat right and exercise thing just seemed too simple and broad. I tried every fad diet imaginable since I had been a teenager. At times it was like a merrygo-round. One week this would be the solution and the next week that would be the answer. The University of Guelph offered a Diploma in Food, Nutrition and Risk Management. I became a full-time student in 2009 at an obese 175 lbs. I learned about clinical nutrition and food management. One of the great things about

education is that you recognize how little you really know about many things. The stress, time management and course intensity involved every fibre of my ability. It was a fantastic experience, but, like many students, I packed on the pounds. Upon graduation, walking across the podium to accept my Diploma, I was almost 200 lbs. Our Nutrition teacher often commented that she could not believe that most of us had gained weight over the two years of study. The best thing about education is that you never stop learning. It was not until the summer of 2012 that I finally reached a point in my life that losing weight was really critical to my health. My doctor informed me that I likely only had 10 years left, if I didn’t make drastic lifestyle changes. I was only 48 years old. The problem, as always, was where to begin. Armed with my nutritional education and clinical analysis, I finally decided it was time. I had already planned to spend the winter with my mother in Lakepark, Georgia. My mother and I were both obese and exhibited poor physical fitness. Mom had been a past Weight Watcher lecturer. We combined our skills, education and determination and entitled our 4-½ month time together as Grassy Pond Boot Camp. Together we battled a lifetime of unhealthy behaviour. We made very dramatic changes in both our lives. It was not easy, nor was it quick, but we lost more than 50 lbs. each and developed a nutri-

tion plan that was tailored to our specific age and health needs. The transformation was indeed amazing, but the fact that both of us have kept the weight off two years later indicates that we really did something extraordinary. Anyone is capable of what I accomplished. I have been fighting weight issues my entire life. Every day is a struggle not to give in to my urges and pack the pounds back on. Trust me, I am constantly aware of my desire to eat, but have finally learned to ignore the impulse that used to control me. It took me nearly half a century to do so, but I did it, which proves that you can too. Saying it sounds easy, but doing it is nearly impossible. That is what people who have never had weight issues can’t wrap their brain’s around why can’t you just not eat junk food? The simplest things in life are the hardest to accomplish. Self-control may be simple to some, but not to people like me. When I eat food, it’s not because I’m hungry, but rather to satisfy an impulse. Normal people don’t have this impulse. They eat to feel full. People with weight issues know exactly what I mean when I talk about a lack of control. I have been down every road. This column is meant to provide people with the wisdom and guidelines necessary to achieve a higher quality of life. Every bit of help counts, which is one of the various lessons I learned along the way. It’s hard, but accepting help makes all the difference in the world.

EMC News - Volunteers from every corner of Leeds-Grenville were front and centre at the province’s Volunteer Service Awards ceremonies held here over three nights last week. More than 300 Leeds-Grenville residents were presented with the award in recognition of their years of dedicated service to their communities at the ceremonies, which for the first time this year were held over three nights from June 18 to 20. Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark was in attendance for all three nights to personally congratulate each of the recipients, a remarkable group of citizens who ranged in age from their pre-teens to their 90s. “These people have given so much to make Leeds-Grenville a better place for all of us to live and raise our families,� said Clark. “I feel it’s important for me to be there and thank them for all they have given. It’s a wonderful celebration of active citizenship.� Indeed, the volunteers recognized over the three nights have given a combined total of more than 10,000 years of service. “I hope their commitment serves as an inspiration to others to give whatever time they can to the many organizations in Leeds-Grenville who could use their help,� said Clark, who added the fact so many youth were honoured is a sign the community’s future is in good hands. “The Volunteer Service Awards ceremony has been a highlight of my year since I attended my first ceremonies as MPP in 2010,� stressed Clark. “I’m always humbled to be in the presence of those who have given so much in the service of others.� The Volunteer Service Awards program recognizes contributions by volunteers of all ages who have been with an organization for at least five consecutive years.

Lynn Jackson and Jesse Parent perform at The Branch July 5 EMC Events - Musicians Lynn Jackson and Jesse Parent will be hitting up The Branch in Kemptville on Friday, July 5 as part of their ‘Have Plaid Will Travel’ Ontario tour. Both artists are touring to promote new albums. Lynn Jackson enjoys an authenticity that runs through the talented Canadian singer-songwriter. Her music reflects a deep commitment to telling stories that ring true with listeners. Having shared stages with Ron Sexsmith, Fred Eaglesmith and Luke Doucet, Jackson just finished her sixth studio album Down in the Dust (Busted Flat Records, fall 2012). Down in the Dust sees Jackson take her cues from Lucinda Williams, Kathleen Edwards and Eliza Gilkyson, using her ‘whiskey and honey’ voice to mix her timeless melodies while spinning yarns about love, loss and everyday people. Fresh off a Western Canada tour in June, Jackson has been garnering critical acclaim from CBC, AllMusic.com and Penguin Eggs among others for Down in the Dust. You can find out more about Lynn Submitted photo Jackson at www.lynnjackson.net or Musician Lynn Jackson will perform at The Branch Restaurant in Kemptville on Friday, July 5. www.bustedflatrecords.com

Smoke Alarms: Test your smoke alarms. If a fire starts in your home while you are asleep, you want to know about it immediately. Some homes are equipped with electrically connected smoke alarms that may not work when the power is out. Make sure your home has a batteryoperated smoke alarm on every level.

Jesse Parent has hard-working Canadiana roots. Take a dash of acoustic folk, add some refined and sweet electric spices and there you have the rich recipe that makes up Ontario singer-songwriter Jesse Parent’s unique blend of styles that inform his music. Hailing from Cambridge, Ontario, Jesse Parent cut his teeth playing in area bands starting in his teens, with influences ranging from Neil Young to Paul Simon and Blue Rodeo. It wasn’t long before Parent struck out on his own with his first self-titled album in 2009. The Waterloo Region Record described his debut as ‘a fetching blend of country, pop and folk’ that borrows from ‘the mellower material of Ben Harper or the late Elliott Smith.’ In 2012, Parent followed up with the electrically charged This Uncertainty, an album that hints at the influences of Tom Petty and Wilco. A hard-working musician who plays the big cities as well as many popular rural haunts, you’re bound to come across this emerging singer-songwriter at a venue near you very soon.

EMC Lifestyle - Four years ago, I contributed the first article to the “Kemptville Advance” in what was hoped would be a one or two year series of monthly write-ups pertaining to Food Science from a non-academic perspective. It was about “Food Science Training in Sub-Saharan Africa” – an area which still remains important to me. Looking back at more than 40 topics covered since then, it is amazing to see how many different aspects of food we have examined. One of my personal favourites was about smashing “WintO-Green Life Savers” ® with a hammer late at night on the concrete floor in our darkened garage to watch the sparks being emitted. This was due to the rapid input of energy forcing some electrons to a higher energy level within the sugar crystals that make up the hard candies. When the electrons returned to their original energy levels, they would release tiny bluish-green sparks of light. Oddly enough, one of the first things that hit me in preparing the earlier articles was not having to use the stodgy third person singular impersonal pronoun “it”, with everything being passive instead of active, as required in most scientific writings. There is something inherently refreshing and liberating about being able to say, “We did this”, rather than, “It was found that…..”. These articles have provided the opportunity to just talk normally (at least I hope that’s the case). Aside from the fun of doing some rather crazy things, it is quite striking to observe how incredibly small the world has become, along with the common interests that we share. This is especially true with respect to food. For the past ten years, it has been my pleasure to work with the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST). Wondering if there might be an interest in these articles outside the Kemptville area, I sent a few samples to them and was greeted by a totally positive response. Soon, there was a quick link to “Food 101: 21 Stories and Ideas” on the www.iufost.org website. Later, six more stories were added. Then, five

more were added, bringing the total to thirty-two as of March 2013. In February 2012, “Mango World Magazine” picked up one of the stories about mango drying in Malawi and included it as a focus article in their online E-magazine. In February 2013, “The World of Food Science” E-magazine which is published by IUFoST out of Australia bundled three of the food drying stories into a focus article titled “Around the Table with Food Science: Food Drying 101”. Earlier this year, I had something of a reverse experience. While sitting in a hotel room in Morogoro, Tanzania (west of Dar es Salaam), I submitted an article to the “Kemptville Advance” one Monday evening. That Friday morning, while still in Africa, I saw it in print on the newspaper’s website. This might not be surprising to many of you in light of your own experiences with instant communication through emails and the like. However, it is definitely noteworthy considering that even a year or so ago, it was not all that easy to access the Internet from many places in rural Africa. The overall impact of improved electronic communications within Africa is far more significant than may seem initially apparent. One of the major challenges in providing Food Science training to food industry workers in Sub-Saharan Africa has been reaching interested individuals spread throughout 48 countries, covering over twenty-five million square kilometres, populated by more than 800 million people. Seeing first-hand how Internet connectivity is increasing yearly helps strengthen our resolve to expand the range of Distance Education courses being offered and expand beyond our initial geographical boundaries of Sub-Saharan Africa. Looking back, it is most gratifying and humbling to see how articles in our local Kemptville Advance have been leveraged to reach a much broader audience at the global level. Thank you so much.

North Grenville Sports Hall of Fame needs nominations By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – The North Grenville Sports Hall of fame is experiencing a shortage of nominations for the 2013 induction. The organization asks the public to submit nominations for athletes they feel are worthy of recognition in the community. “There have been a couple nominations so far, but if there’s anyone out there people feel are worthy of being inducted, then we need those names,” said Doug Rigby, one of the organizers. The deadline for nominations has been changed from June 15, 2013 to an indeterminate date to allow for more candidates to be considered. All sporting activities are recognized by the organization. A complete list of what attributes would qualify an individual and the nomination forms are available on the website www.NGSortLegacy.ca

“We’re trying to achieve community buzz,” said Debbie Graham, another organizer. The induction ceremony for the 2013 North Grenville Sports Hall of fame will take place on September 26. The event has grown quite large, boasting a turnout of between 250 and 300 people at the 2012 induction ceremony. The non-profit organization is also hosting a golf tournament at the eQuinelle Golf Course on September 27 to raise funds for the organization. A portion of the proceeds go to bursaries given out to students in the community. “The goal is to raise funds for two interactive kiosks,” said Rigby. “We plan on putting one at the municipal center and the other at the library. Residents will be able to look up information about all the inductees of the North Grenville Sports Hall of Fame.” For further information, contact Rigby at (613)-323-2592.

MVFN celebrates 25 years encouraging love, knowledge of nature EMC News – The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) held their annual general meeting (AGM) at the Almonte Civitan Club on May 16 followed by a very successful Spring Gathering event. The AGM was conducted by Ken Allison, president of MVFN, with attendance by the board and club members. Ken provided the membership with an overview of the organizations activities and finances over the last year. This is the club’s 25th year as an organization and during that time it has been very active promoting the understanding and awareness of the natural world in our community, with its popular natural history lectures series, canoe, hiking and birding outings, environmental programs for children and youth, and strong support for local conservation issues. The treasurer, Robert McCook presented the finances which show a well managed club which can continue to be very active. Ken introduced each of the board members for the coming year, and of special note is that Cliff Bennett, one of the founding members has once again been elected to the board where he will serve as vice-president for 201314. Cliff has been very actively involved with MVFN from it first days and will ensure it continues to be a vibrant and relevant organization. The AGM was followed by the wellattended and exciting Spring Gathering event. Starting with the reception, old friends and acquaintances shared drinks and chatted; many visited the Young Naturalists exhibit, the Reduce Plastic Bag campaign table and made bids on the silent auction items. The Almonte Civitan Club did an excellent job of providing top notch service and a very tasty meal. A special thanks goes out to all the volunteers, especially Rosemary McGinnis, this year’s event co-ordinator for MVFN.

Christmas Bird Count, enthusiastically guided the group through the evening culminating in a talk by Éric HébertDaly, executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society. Éric provided a passionate and insightful look at how conservation work was done traditionally such as through protected area campaigns, local land trusts, and renaturalization projects, and he explored how we might be more efficient and successful in the years to come through a shift towards a focus on ecological integrity, and methods such as land-use planning, network (versus islands) planning, multilateralism, and First Nations involvement to name a few. Eric fielded many interesting questions after his presentation, reflecting that our community is very engaged when it comes to the environment and conservation. It was a very successful and enjoyable evening, and everyone is reminded to put May 15 on their calendars for next year’s gathering. This summer, ongoing MVFN activities include the canoe/kayak program and annual summer walk, and the clubs’ monthly natural history lectures resume with a new series in September. Please see mvfn.ca for details of these upcoming activities and for membership information. Iain Wilkes is the publicity chair for the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

EMC Entertainment – Calabogie Peaks Resort will be buzzing this weekend with top Canadian country music stars at the inaugural Class Axe Guitars Calabogie Country Music Festival. Dallas Smith, Kira Isabella, and Jordan McIntosh are just a few of the exciting acts to hit the stage during the three-day event. The festival was conceived by the same team that organizes the wildly popular Calabogie Blues & Ribfest, which is heading into its third year. The Calabogie Country Music Festival will deliver top country music, on-site camping, beer gardens, food vendors, chairlift rides, a kids’ zone and more. Hailing from nearby Carleton Place, singer Jordan McIntosh is the latest sensation on the country music scene. He will headline the Friday night show at the festival, with well-known singer Leah Daniels as the opener. McIntosh, who has acquired a large fan base already, is sure to deliver a performance that will showcase that show-stopping talent. Dallas Smith is set to headline Saturday evening’s events. Numerous country bands, including Autumn Hill, Whitney Rose, The Working Class & Ryan Cook, will be taking the stage, beginning at noon leading up to the night’s big event, a performance by Canadian country music star, Smith. He delivers an outstanding show, which is a must-see for any country music fan. Smith spent the last ten years fronting the popular band Default, before stepping into a solo career in 2011. He released his solo debut country album, Jumped Right In, back in May 2012 and its first single, ‘Somebody Somewhere’, immediately soared up the Canadian Hot 100 charts. Sunday’s wrap up to the festival includes performances by Tim Chaisson, the ever-popular country band Silver Creek, Kerosene Creek, and local favourites, Ambush. Closing out the festival will be the exciting Canadian Country Music Award winner Kira Isabella. In 2012, Isabella won the Canadian Country Music Association’s Rising Star Award. Her debut CD quickly garnered national attention and she became one to watch in the Canadian country music scene. The festival grounds will open at 2 p.m. on Friday, June 28 with onsite camping. Music performances will commence at 7 p.m. More information and tickets can be found at www.calabogiecountry. com.

EMC Lifestyle - “Hi, Bill,� writes Elizabeth Spratt of Dundas, Ontario, “it was the 1976 MGB in your column that prompted me to write to you. I had a 1979 MGB with the black bumper when I was living in Victoria, B.C., in the early ’80s. At the time there were many beautiful older English cars on the road there and I decided I wanted to own one. “I tracked down this 1960 Morris Minor convertible and bought it in August 1983. Interestingly, the previous owner had put an ad in Road & Track magazine, which was not on the newsstands until after I bought the car. I later bought the magazine, which included a photo of my car. Just after buying the car, I baked a cake that looked like the car and gave it to the previous owner. That was fun! “I drove this car as my only vehicle in Victoria for six years. I even took it one time through the mountains to Nelson, B.C., with no problems. I moved east in 1992, initially to Toronto, then in 1996 to Dundas. In 1997 I had the Morris sent here – barge to Vancouver, train to Toronto, and flatbed truck that delivered it to my door on July 1, 1997. Since then, the car has been repainted with a new top and various other bits of work done. A few years ago, I visited the Morris Minor Centre in England and brought back a few parts. “Every August, the car with me and various friends over the years goes in the Dundas Cactus Festival Parade. It’s lots of fun and I hear lots of nice comments about the car. In the 2010 parade, we celebrated the car’s 50th anniversary. This year, I’ll be celebrating 30 years of ownership. “It’s great, Bill, that you are so interested in old cars in Canada.� For further information on these endearing automobiles, Elizabeth Spratt recom-

The Algonquin land claim – capital transfer and lands Canadians can cancel wireless contracts

Robert Potts will be transparent and accountable to all Algonquin beneficiaries. The AOO will develop the governance structure, mandates and powers of these Institutions to ensure the most effective protection of all beneficiaries’ interests. Land has been critical to the way of life for the Algonquins and will play an important role in the cultural recognition and future economic sustainability of the AOO. The Preliminary Draft AIP establishes that Ontario will transfer not less than 117,500 acres of Provincial Crown Land to one or more Algonquin Institutions. This lands package consists of more than 200 parcels of land ranging in size from a few acres to more than 30,000 acres. The AOO’s proposed land selections were each chosen for the following purposes: (a) Historical/Spiritual

(b) Community Recreation and Environmental Protection (c) Economic Development, Resources, Tourist Commercial (d) Future Institutional, Residential, Industrial Development The Provincial Crown Land in the Settlement Area is 3.3 million acres. Nearly 2 million acres constitutes Provincial Parks, including Algonquin Park (1.8 million acres), where the AOO will have extensive management planning input. This leaves approximately 1.3 million acres of Provincial Crown Land to be considered for AOO land selections. The proposed lands package comprises approximately four per cent of the Provincial Crown Land in the land claim Settlement Area. Through the transfer of this land, existing access to cottages, private properties, or navigable waterways will not be lost or compromised, and no new First Nation reserves will be created. A Treaty will provide economic development opportunities that will not only benefit the AOO, but will also provide a tremendous benefit to our neighbours living within Eastern Ontario. This column is the second in a series providing insights into Algonquin history, the foundation for the land claim, elements of the Preliminary Draft AIP and next steps in the journey. The next column will focus on the Parks and Protected Areas component of the Preliminary Draft AIP. For more information visit www.tanakiwin.com. Robert Potts is Principal Negotiator and Senior Legal Counsel for the Algonquins of Ontario.

after two years under new wireless code EMC News – On June 3, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) issued a wireless code that will make it easier for Canadians to understand their contracts and sets out their basic rights. The code will apply to new contracts for cell phones and other personal mobile devices starting on Dec. 2, 2013. “Every day, Canadians rely on wireless devices while in their homes, at their jobs, at school or travelling abroad,” said Jean-Pierre Blais, chairman of the CRTC. “The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at least every two years.” The wireless code addresses the main frustrations that Canadians shared with the CRTC, which included the length of wireless contracts, cancellation fees, roaming charges and other industry practices. Among other things, individual and small business consumers will be able to: • Terminate their wireless contracts after two years without cancellation fees, even if they have signed on for a longer term. • Cap extra data charges at $50/ month and international data roaming charges at $100/month to prevent bill shock. • Have their cell phones unlocked after 90 days, or immediately if they

paid for the device in full. • Return their cell phones, within 15 days and specific usage limits, if they are unhappy with their service. • Accept or decline changes to the key terms of a fixed-term contract (i.e., two-year). • Receive a contract that is easy to read and understand. The wireless code will apply to all service providers in Canada. In particular, the code will apply in full to postpaid services (where customers pay a monthly bill after using their services), and where applicable to pre-paid wireless services. “The wireless code is a tool that will empower consumers and help them make informed choices about the service options that best meet their needs. To make the most of this tool, consumers also have a responsibility to educate themselves,” Blais added. The participation of a large number of consumers and the collaboration of the wireless industry will ensure the wireless code’s successful implementation. The CRTC’s public consultation attracted over 5,000 participants, including individual Canadians, who shared their views on an online discussion forum, in writing and at the public hearing held from Feb. 11 to 15. For more information about the wireless code, please visit www.crtc. gc.ca/wirelesscode.

EMC News – The following is the second installment in a series of columns provided by the Algonquins of Ontario. As the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) continue to work toward a modern day treaty, they look forward to a bright future of self-sufficiency, economic stability, and opportunities for current and future generations. Key elements of the current Preliminary Draft Agreement-in-Principle (AIP), released on Dec. 13, 2012 by the AOO, Ontario and Canada, include a capital transfer and land component. These elements are essential to build a long-term sustainable future for the Algonquin people, and respond to present day social, cultural and economic needs. The Preliminary Draft AIP states that Canada and Ontario will transfer $300 million to one or more Algonquin Institutions, which will be Trusts established for the benefit of the Algonquin beneficiaries. These funds will be transferred in three payments over a two-year period starting on the Effective Date of the Final Agreement. Income generated from the capital transfer will make a real and positive difference in the cultural and societal fabric of the Algonquin people by removing barriers for the creation of economic opportunities and social support programs. These funds will also lay a foundation for a rewarding and vibrant future for Algonquin youth by increasing employment opportunities and access to education and training.

Director puts own spin on Raspberry clafoutis is tasty and healthy treat latest zombie apocalypse film MOVIE: World War Z STARRING: Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertesz, and Fana Mokoena DIRECTOR: Marc Forester RATING: 14A EMC Entertainment - I’ve discovered that if you’ve seen one zombie apocalypse movie then you’ve pretty much seen them all. Zombies quickly overwhelm mankind threatening humanity with extinction, and the few people left run for their lives desperately trying to survive. World War Z isn’t much different, but they do try to put their own stamp on it. Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) and his family are stuck in traffic in downtown Philadelphia when the world comes apart at the seams. A plague that’s been ravaging the world hits the U.S. hard. Gerry, with some help from his former boss UN Secretary Thierry (Fana Mokoena) barely gets his family out of the country amidst the chaos. It started as a pathogen. It kills its host, and then re-animates it turning the infected into a mindless rage monster whose only purpose is to infect others. It’s turning humanity into zombies and there

My Take MARK HASKINS

isn’t a lot of humanity left. Thierry needs Gerry to go back to work, and find the source of this plague. Gerry is the best investigator the UN has. If anyone can track the source he can, and if they can find the source they might be able to stop the plague. The zombie apocalypse may have been done before, but World War Z tries to put a new spin on it. As the entire world is overrun by zombies, instead of broadening the scope of the film Forester narrows it. The story focuses on Gerry as he follows the clues and tries to solve the mystery of how the plague happened and how to stop it. It makes World War Z feel more like a mystery than a horror movie. I like the focus of the film, and the detective-style story. It adds a whole other level of tension to the zombie film. I like the effects, and I really like the explanation of the

zombies. The thing is the film moves to a very logical conclusion. The ending makes perfect sense for the story, but the most logical ending isn’t always the most exciting or satisfying ending. In truth I found it anti-climactic. Brad Pitt is very good at taking the fear, the terror and the desperation, and making them real for the audience. This film rides on Pitt’s shoulders. It’s his character that drives the film and it’s his performance that makes his character so compelling. Mireille Enos plays Karen Lane, Gerry’s wife. Her scenes are few but riveting. It’s a very believable performance. As Gerry travels across the globe seeking answers he teams up with an Israeli soldier named Segen. It’s an intense role and Daniella Kertesz makes the most of the opportunity. World War Z may not be the war movie you’re expecting, and the ending may be a bit of a letdown, but the film’s unique perspective and focus does give the zombie apocalypse a twist. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Plan now to pay yourself for all retirement years Manage Your Money

Retirement is coming at you faster than you expected – but that’s okay because you expect those years to be fulfilling, brimming with new experiences and activities. And you will enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve dreamed about if you plan now to be sure you’ll have the financial resources you’ll need for all your retirement years. And that could be for a lot of years. According to Statistics Canada*, life expectancy for seniors has been on an upward trend over the last 15 years. The foundation of your retirement plan is your retirement income – so you need to know where it will come from and how much it will be. Check these sources: • The federal government offers: o the Canada Pension Plan/ Québec Pension Plan (CPP/QPP) that provides about 25% of your average annual earnings during your working life, up to certain limits.

You can build a retirement income that fits your lifestyle dreams and will last for all your retirement years when you have the right plan – and that should start with seeking advice and counsel from a professional advisor who has the expertise to keep you on the right financial track for your lifetime. *The Daily, Thursday, May 31, 2012 This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

Packaged tourism experiences now available in Lanark County EMC News – Consumers looking to book travel this summer are about to gain a greater awareness of the regional tourism experiences through the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization’s (OHTO) summer consumer marketing campaign, Head to the Highlands. The campaign website, www.Headtothe-

Highlands.ca, and recently released Summer Travel Video Series on YouTube will reach consumers via a multifaceted promotion encompassing social, digital and traditional marketing, and will place getaway packages at the core of its strategy for enticing travellers to “Head to the Highlands� this summer.

Packaging has remained a strategic priority for the OHTO for the past two years; a commitment administered through the organization’s popular tourism workshop training program. The initiative provides businesses with the opportunity to participate in workshops designed to assist with developing and

marketing tourism packages. Most travel is booked online and packaging has become an effective way for tourism businesses to differentiate themselves from their competition. By expanding an offer to include all of the elements of a memorable travel experience, businesses are more likely to cap-

ture the attention of the consumer. “We’re making it easy for consumers to select Ontario’s Highlands as their destination of choice by taking the hassle out of researching, planning and booking travel, explains Nicole WhitSee TOURISM page 43

• Dine al fresco: Fire up the grill and eat outside! Turning on the stove heats up your home and keeps you from enjoying the weather so get grilling and enjoy summer favourites like corn on the cob and burgers outside. • Primp the patio: Make your patio

or deck your own personal oasis with overflowing baskets of flowers, outdoor rugs, twinkling lights and comfortable patio furniture to encourage late summer nights spent outdoors. • Bring the outdoors in: Once the day cools off, open windows and let the

fresh air blow through your home. “Making your home into a year-round sanctuary doesn’t have to be overly costly or time consuming,� says Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association.

Shops, in general will charge in the range of $80$120 per axle for this service, bringing a four-wheel total in the $160-$250 range with materials before tax. So what happens if you leave these units alone and skip the maintenance? Generally speaking, if you don’t have this service done when it’s needed (and that should be based on a proper inspection, not necessarily some arbitrary time or mileage point) the brakes linings can stick in their tracks leading to uneven and accelerated brake wear. A complete brake relining usually entails replacing the front and rear brake pads and all four rotors (brake drums are usually a little more substantial in design and will last at least two lining replacements or more). Even with competitively prices parts and labour, these jobs easily hit the $1,000 mark or more if wheel calipers require replacement. So if a routine maintenance costing $250 extends the brake lining life as little as 25 per cent, it’s a break-even proposition. But that’s only the financial side of the equation. Brakes are one of the most crucial safety systems on any vehicle, and having them in tip-top condition will pay off in a currency far more valuable than money. A large recall is heading this way involving certain 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Liberty SUVs. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the US these vehicles demonstrate a higher than acceptable risk of fires in the event of a rear-end collision due to the placement of the fuel tanks behind the rear axles. While no fires, injuries, or fatalities have been reported in Canada, it is expected that Chrysler LLC will follow the same process that they announced last week for their US customers. For those vehicles, a new trailer-hitch will be installed to improve the protection to the fuel tank in the event of a low-speed impact. If the vehicle already has a hitch, a dealer inspection is still required and if the hitch is found to be inadequate it will be replaced. Chrysler has expanded this action to include 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees. On this series of vehicles, if an aftermarket hitch is in place and it has any sharp edges, it will be replaced according to the Chrysler’s U.S. press release. As this recall is still in the preliminary stages it’s unlikely that recall letters will be mailed out or parts will be made available for several

EMC Lifestyle – In a recent column we covered the topic of vehicle maintenance and how stretched-to-the-max automaker recommended schedules weren’t necessarily the best things for consumers. Car builders in a rush to be as competitive as possible have extended the maintenance intervals on their vehicles in terms of mileage and time. As little as 10 years ago, an every-three-month or 5,000 km routine was pretty much the standard for just about all passenger cars and light trucks. Now, with the increased use of automated service reminder systems and this competitive stance, some automakers have up to 12-month intervals between services with less mention of distance travelled. While there still may be the same number of checkmarked line items at each service interval booklet page, more often than not, only the word ‘inspect’ appears beside the vehicle system with no indication of what if any preventative work should be done to ensure trouble-free driving. I thought it might be helpful to detail a few different systems on an average vehicle to reveal what the benefits are to routine maintenance and what might happen if you just leave things to themselves. Brakes: While lots of advances have been made in various systems on today’s vehicles thanks to electronics and improved materials and assembly techniques, wheel brakes really haven’t changed much in design or operation for well over 50 years. In fact if you account for lighter castings on brake calipers and support frames, lighter rotors or discs, the elimination of asbestos in brake linings, and more exposure to salt and grime thanks to open-spoked wheel rim designs, things have actually gotten stickier (pun intended) for brakes. So it shouldn’t be a surprise when your service consultant comes to you, clipboard in hand, to let you know that having a brake service completed would be a good idea. First things first, what is a brake service? While shops differ in their approach to this, and will always explain exactly what they do, if asked, generally this is what is done on an average front-wheel drive car and what it costs: A technician will remove the brake linings and calipers from their mounts and remove any rust from the brake lining frame tracks, remove any excess rust from the disc or rotor edge, and lubricate the brake caliper slider pins and brake lining tracks. If the rear brakes are a drum type, the drums and brake shoes are removed and the contact points between the shoes and their backing plates are cleaned of rust and/or grime and lubricated and everything is put back together and adjusted properly.
