Hospital faces suit from local laundry service

NEWS

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital is being sued by Hart Laundry Services of Smiths Falls. Though the matter is still being negotiated amongst lawyers, the suit was launched back in February of this year, which kicked off weeks of talks between the laundry and the hospital. Hart had had the laundry contract since September of 2011, and the contract was terminated on May 31, to handle part of the hospital’s laundry needs, including bed linens, towels, face cloths, and gowns. Operating room linens, emergency room linens, and other aspects of hospital cleaning were handled by Hospital Linen Services of Ottawa. HLS is now doing all of the hospital’s cleaning, “until we determine our next steps. We will probably have to go to a request for proposals,” said the hospital’s chief executive officer and president, Linda Bisonette, during an interview at the Great War Memorial Hospital in Perth on Friday, June 28. “I would have loved to have kept the business in the community,” said Bisonette. “But I have to keep the hospital at the forefront of my decisions.” On Tuesday, July 2, Larry

Events - Conlon Farm was bustling with Canada Day fun and excitement on Canada Day, with kids races, a council barbecue and live music. Lucy Shelley (left) and Blair Jarvis took the lead during the three-legged race.

Hart, owner of Hart Laundry Services, which operates out of the Gallipeau Centre, the former Rideau Regional Centre, stated that “we have to be very cautious what we say. It is in the hands of legal people.” However, Hart confirmed that “we filed a lawsuit in February,” though he declined to say for how much and for what reason. “The hospital cancelled the linen contract on May 31, for Hart Laundry Services,” he said. In a later interview the same day with Tracey Gallipeau, the centre’s vice president, Hart added that “we are not going to provide a dollar amount,” but he did shed more light as to the original source of the conflict. “There is a dispute over a large amount of linen, which was unaccounted for or missing after being shipped to the hospitals,” said Hart. “We had hoped from the talks that some resolution would come forward to allow us to continue to provide both local hospitals as we truly enjoyed the opportunity to provide the service. We appreciate all of the community support we have received since reopening the local laundry service in 2011.” Neither Gallipeau nor Hart was certain as to whether the lawsuit would end up before a judge or be settled out of court.

Lanark County council passes bylaw approving ATV use

Auditor’s report received Council accepted the 2012 auditor’s report as presented by Allan Chartered Accountant Professional Corporation at the June corporate services committee meeting. Auditor Howard Allan thanked Chief administrative officer/treasurer Kurt Greaves and finance department staff for their assistance during the process. He indicated updated auditing standards from the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants have led to a focus on understanding sources of business risk, fraud risk, entity governance policies and management’s overall decision-making processes. As such, he undertook a comprehensive review of the county’s internal controls to report on areas where there are opportunities to consider enhancements. “The purpose of adequate controls is to ensure, as far as practical, the orderly and efficient conduct of the county’s business, including the discharge of statutory responsibilities, for example, safeguarding of assets, prevention and detection of fraud and error, reliability of accounting records and timely prepa-

Housing and homelessness plan approved Council approved the draft Housing and Homelessness Blueprint, which is a plan to address Lanark County housing and homelessness issues over the next 10 years. The plan is to be submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for a 90-day comment period. Following any revisions, it will be submitted to council for final approval no later than December. A 10-year implementation plan will be

based on the seven priorities and 16 strategic objectives identified in the blueprint, and any necessary investment be considered during the annual budget process. Work on the plan began in January 2012 and involved an advisory committee of seven community representatives and community consultations. Councillor John Fenik (Perth mayor) added the Lanark County Housing Corporation met for a strategic planning session this week and the board unanimously agreed the status quo is not acceptable. “We will be introducing bold and new initiatives to address the issue of affordable housing and our housing stock. While we are passing this Housing and Homelessness Plan tonight, it is not the end of it,� he said.

EMC News – The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, June 26 at the county building in Perth. Council has passed a bylaw to permit the operation of all-terrain vehicles on county roads, except in Perth, Carleton Place and Almonte. The bylaw sets out numerous provisions, including speed limits: ATVs cannot be driven at speeds of greater than 20 kilometres per hour on roads with limits of not greater than 50 km/h, and they cannot exceed 50 km/h on roads with speed limits of greater than 50 km/h. The county has established a curfew prohibiting ATV operation between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. on county roads. Other provisions include the necessity of having reflective strips on all four sides of the vehicles and no chains or studs on the tires. ATVs must be driven in the same direction as traffic on the same side of the road, and multiple ATVs must ride in single file. As well, they must be driven on the shoulder or, if there is no shoulder, as close to the right edge of the road surface as possible. When making a left turn, ATVs can move away from the shoulder or right edge when it is safe to do so. Some local municipalities have bylaws regarding ATV use, others are considering bylaws and some do not permit ATVs. Bylaw 2013-20 can be found at www.lanarkcounty.ca.

look to the Bible as the source of truthful answers to the complex problems each and everyone faces in these stressful times.” Attendees could see from the presentations that these Bible truths really work, whether in one’s personal life, in a family setting or in the work place.

EMC Entertainment – It was a gold letter day at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre (FCT) this past week when the community theatre’s exterior signs went up on the building. In keeping with the town whose motto is “Make haste slowly”, it took only a year and ten months from the official opening of the theatre to arrange the finances and the paperwork for the signage. Lack of prominent signs has been one of the facility’s shortcomings over the past two seasons, as new patrons searched for the space and often ended up well out of town. The search is not helped by the fact that Googlemaps places the Full Circle Theatre on the wrong side of the Tay River, insisting that it is on the east bank, rather than west of the river, by the town’s Old Burying Ground. The signs are going up just in time to welcome new tenants for the summer of 2013, as the Classic Theatre Festival, the Ottawa Valley’s professional summer theatre, move their base of operations into FCT, featuring two classic Broadway comedies which will run consecutively from July 12 through Sept. 1. In keeping with the nature of the Full Circle Theatre, which was created largely by volunteers on a reuse, re-cycle, re-purpose basis, the materials for the signs are the very same materials which comprised the old signs on the building, which for more than 25 years announced the presence of Charlie’s Car Wash at 26 Craig St. As the re-construction of the building progressed in 2010 and 2011, the signs were removed, repaired, restored and re-configured to read Full Circle Theatre. Like the vintage theatre seats from Perth’s 1915 Balderson Theatre which have been refurbished for the Full Circle, older is often better. The signs were one of the last major to-do items in the project, which began in 2009 and has seen a 65-year old car-wash remade into a 102-seat, ground-level, barrierfree theatre, offering both live entertainment and high-definition, wide-screen cinema events. From approximately 60 events in the theatre’s initial season of 2011/2012, 2012/2013 saw more than 100 performances and 2013/2014 is promising even more. New upgrades to the lighting system, coupled with 5.1 surround-sound audio, make FCT one of the most technically capable spaces in the area. An intimate, comfortable (air-conditioned) house, an attractive, bright lobby and extraordinary acoustics have made FCT a favourite with performers and audience alike. BarnDoor Productions, the resident company, will be back in the fall with their 19th season – one packed with some of the best Broadway plays of the last 20 years and more. Guest series including 2 Women Productions, the Perth Community Choir, Film Night International and Charles MacPhail Productions are also making FCT their home, along with single events and touring artists.

COMMENTARY Congratulations, grads! EMC Editorial – The halls of area schools now sit silent for the summer, awaiting the return of students in September. But not all will be returning. Last week marked graduation ceremonies at high schools across the Upper Canada District School Board and Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. Years of work were celebrated with the granting of a single piece of paper; a diploma that gives youth the freedom to reach for their dreams. This feat is not to be taken lightly. It’s a major accomplishment in the step towards becoming an adult and entering the workforce. In fact, according to a recent release by the Ministry of Education, the high school graduation rate continues to climb. In 2012, 83 per cent of high school students received their diplomas, which marks a 15 per cent jump from 2003-04 when that rate stood at 68 per cent. That means 115,000 more students walked across their school’s stage to receive their hard-earned scroll. The ministry continues to inch closer to its 85 per cent graduation rate goal. It’s easy to forget the feeling of entering a high school in grade 9 and feeling intimidated by the entire experience. But it is the place where students truly mature and start to become the person they are destined to be. Over the course of the years, they have taken a variety of courses (some they’ve liked, others not so much) but that experience has led students to discover their true passions. They will now continue the next phase of their development in a post-secondary institution or wherever else their journey takes them. It’s also now time for other students to take their places as the positive leaders in their local schools, to show younger students the value of extra-curricular activities and becoming a part of a school they will spend so much time in.

Mary has her first foray into milking cows on the farm EMC Lifestyle – “I’m telling you, she’s too young,” Mother said. Father said he milked a cow the day he learned to walk! Mother said “that’s nonsense, and you know it.” Rarely did I have so much attention sent my way, and I was loving every minute of it. With four siblings, rarely was I singled out, but that day, I was getting my share. The subject was if I was old enough to milk. Once a calf got to the cow stage, I lost interest in her, and I had little desire to sit with my head on her belly and try to get milk into a pail. But Father said it was time I did my share like everyone else in the family. Needless to say I was never consulted as to how I felt about the issue. And so, on a Saturday it was, Father put a three-legged stool at the rear end of the quietest cow in the cow byre, put a pail under her, and without a word of instruction, told me to go ahead and milk! The old cow turned her head in my direction, and then back to chewing her cud. After watching my three brothers and sister do the milking often enough, I figured there wasn’t

much to it. Well, I pulled, and I tugged, and I spit on my hands, and kept saying “sooo Bossie.” Nothing worked. The brothers were real pros at the job. The barn cats lined up on the other side of the gutter, and every so often, a squirt of milk would be headed in their direction, and without fail, the milk went right into their opened mouths. And here was I who couldn’t even get a drop into the milk pail! My arms ached right up to my shoulders, and a couple times I almost fell off the three-legged stool. It was beyond me why the milk stool only had three legs in the first place! To add to my misery, it was fly season too. The poor old cow kept swishing her tail trying to rid herself of the hateful pests, and with each swish, I took the full brunt square in the face! Mother was right. I was too young for this job! But to convince Father was another matter. First of all, I didn’t like the cow byre. It was full of cobwebs, cows smelled differently from the horses.

Emerson, Everett and Earl were into the snickering, and I knew it wouldn’t be long before I was into the tears. It was my beloved sister Audrey who finally came to my rescue. She had finished milking her cows, the milk had been emptied into the cans, and she came over to where I was sitting hunched over, still tugging away with absolutely not a drop to show for my efforts! “Let me try,” she said, and I gladly surrendered the stool. The milk spewed out on the first try with Audrey!

cow! I thought I was doing exactly what my sister was doing, but it certainly wasn’t working for me, and I was convinced the cow didn’t like me any more than I liked her. Audrey tried her best to show me how to milk. Nothing worked. Finally, she went up to Father who was at the far end of the cow byre. “Mary’s hands are too small,” she said. “And the cow’s too big,” I offered. Father ran his hand over my head. Even though it wasn’t near my nose, I could smell cow off him, and milk, neither of which were my favourite odours. “Well, we’ll try again some other time,” he said. I was out of the barn before you could say ‘milk pail’. I ran to the house and told Mother I wanted to change my clothes. She knew exactly why. I bundled up what I had on in the barn, and brought the whole pile down to the summer kitchen to wait the Monday wash. I asked Mother for a pan of hot water and wash cloth and towel, which I hauled upstairs to the privacy of the bedroom. I washed every square inch of my body I could reach, but I thought I could still smell ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

the cow byre off my skin. I opened my sister Audrey’s drawer of the little washstand we shared, and took out her precious can of Lily of the Valley talcum powder, and slathered it on with abandon. Then I put on clean clothes from the inside out! When we sat down for supper, my try at milking was never mentioned. I figured the brothers had been warned not to bring up the subject. And I knew, without a doubt, my milking days were over...but only for the time being. Everyone had to pull her share back then. And I knew the time would come when I would be led back into the cow byre and made to stick at it until I could fill a milk pail like the brothers or my sister Audrey. Not a word was spoken all during supper about how I had failed at a job that everyone worth his or her salt would be expected to do growing up on a farm long before modern milking machines did the job for you. Even my sister Audrey, who guarded her belongings like a mother hen guarding her chicks, never said a word about how I smelled of Lily of the Valley. • 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.

Champions for Kids Foundation honours major donors at recent celebration EMC News – The Upper Canada District School Board Champions for Kids Foundation honoured its major donors Wednesday, June 26 at its 2013 Friends of the Foundation Celebration. The event is organized each year to recognize major donors to the foundation who give $500 to $10,000 to support its work. Businesses honoured at the event were: Wills Transfer, The Matilda Recreation Committee, LifeTouch Canada, PhotoVisions School Photography, Four-O-One Electric, the Ambassador Conference Resort, and David K. Thomas and Nancy Hanna. Champions president David K. Thomas, who along with his wife Nancy Hanna is a major donor to the charity, thanked those in attendance at the ceremony. Thomas told those gathered at the board’s Brockville office for the event that their donations make a real difference in the lives of children in communities served by the board. He spoke of a family in Grenville County that was assisted by the foundation. The father, a successful businessman, was diagnosed with brain cancer and eventually passed away. The family was supported throughout the father’s ordeal. The foundation provided gas cards to fund travel costs associated with his treatment, as well as restaurant gift cards so the family could enjoy meals together and have one less thing to worry about at the end of a treatment day.

“The family is still struggling, but we showed them that this really, really big board could become very, very small and work to care for them and support them,� said Thomas. South Grenville District High School vice-principal Christie Reitsma told the

story of two children from a working class family who were helped by the foundation. The parents work hard, but cannot find the money to fund summer activities for their children. The foundation approached the family and offered to fund summer camp for both children.

The camp, seeing what a great child the daughter was, has offered to make her a junior leader this summer. The foundation was started in January 2008 to assist children from disadvantaged families to play sports and enjoy the arts. It also helps their fami-

lies cover costs associated with obtaining medical care – such as gas costs for travel to hospital and parking passes. Since its founding, the charity has raised $700,000 to help children in need. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

Health, wholesomeness, and respect for the environment are sure to be found at the top of the list. An organic-certified food is produced without the use of any chemical products. The difference between organic and non-organic foods is the absence of all chemical pesticides, herbicides, and preservatives. Eating organic, like our ancestors did, is the only way to avoid the involuntary consumption of substances that are potentially hazardous to our health. Did you know that over time, the ingestion of many food industry chemical substances can lead to a weakening of the immune system and have harmful effects on the mental, cognitive, and physical development of children? In addition, numerous studies have shown that the current antibiotics resistance observed in humans is the direct result of the use of growth hormones and medications given to cattle and pigs raised for slaughter. This is just one of the reasons why organic food is increasingly popular among consumers. An organic product does not contain any more vitamins than a similar nonorganic product. A carrot is still a carrot, whether it’s organic or not. Choosing to buy organic is based solely on ecological and social reasons. Buying an organic carrot means knowing exactly what is on your plate. Also, buying locally produced organic foods means encouraging producers and reducing greenhouse gases produced by the transportation of food.

More than $4,500 raised at recent Champions for Kids Fun Run/Walk EMC News – More than $4,500 was raised at the Upper Canada District School Board’s (UCDSB) fifth annual Champions for Kids Foundation Fun Run/Walk called “Strive for Five!” held at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville on June 16. Despite the rain, an amazing 190+ participants laced up their sneakers, took to the trails and finished a one-kilometre or five-kilometre walk/run as individual participants or centipede teams. Centipede teams are groups of five to eight people who walk or run in costume and stay tied together in some unique way. “We are absolutely thrilled with the turnout of this year’s event,” says Sarah Crawford, event chair. “So many people brought their families and friends, and it was great to see their smiles throughout the morning.” Each year, prizes are awarded to the participant who raises the most money in pledges, has the best costume (for centipede teams), shows the best spirit, and is the youngest and most experienced. This year, the participants who raised the most pledges were UCDSB building systems specialist Kevin Riddell and

UCDSB human resources partner Jennifer McDonald. “We really enjoy this event, and working with all the awesome people involved,” says Riddell. “It was also a special day for my little running buddy Alexa Powers. She’s nine-years-old, and completed her first five-kilometre run! Plus, she did it in 28.58! To see a big smile on her face as we splashed along, well, that made it extra special for me, too.” The best costume for the one-kilometre run was the Glen Tay Parent Council centipede team, sponsored by TD Canada Trust and the best five-kilometre run centipede team costume went to the UCDSB Service Excellence team called, “Service with a Smile.” The Spirit Award went to the group of runners representing Brockville Collegiate Institute (BCI) including a centipede team, sponsored by TD Canada Trust. The “most experienced” title went to Merv Hodgson, while a number of youngsters were recognized for their participation with a free cone coupon from Dairy Queen in Brockville. In addition, UCDSB staff members were encouraged to enter school or de-

partment teams ahead of time, and they would be entered in a draw to win a free lunch. The group representing Caldwell Street Public School – all the way from Carleton Place – won the lunch. As in previous years, this event partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville which hosted Ribfest at the same location. “Both events have one common goal in mind – to support children in our communities,” Crawford says. The $4,500 raised will go to the foundation that supports families of children who can’t afford to play sports or enjoy the arts outside of school hours, as well as families whose children require medical care.

“In the past four years, we have contributed over $10,000 to Champions for Kids,” says Crawford. “It is truly rewarding to know that the money raised goes right back into the hands of families who see the benefits immediately.” Crawford would like to thank a number of sponsors and contributors of the event, especially the TD Canada Trust locations in Kemptville and the Brockville Shopping Centre for their ongoing support. For the last three years, TD has sponsored student centipede teams from schools in their local area. New this year, branch managers from Perth, Prescott and downtown Brockville joined in to sponsor teams from Glen Tay Public School, South Gren-

ville District High School, and BCI. Crawford would also like to thank accountant Anthony Fritz for sponsoring a Lyn Public School team, Team Solutions for sponsoring a team from Big Brothers Big Sisters, St. Lawrence College for sponsoring two teams to participate, and Walmart for sponsoring a student team from Kemptville Public School for the third year in a row. Special thanks also go to Priority Management, Promotional Concepts in Brockville, Boston Pizza in Brockville, Tim Hortons in Kemptville, St. Lawrence Pools in Brockville, and the North Grenville District High School African drumming group for their donations of resources and time.

A positive approach to having kids in the kitchen Nutrition Tips

EMC Lifestyle – Do your kids want to help out in the kitchen? Wait! Before you panic and say “no way” or “too much mess”, think about this: having kids help you in the kitchen, even the young ones, can be both productive and teach them valuable food skills that set the pattern for healthy eating. When children are involved in the food preparation, they are more likely to eat the foods they helped prepared. From toddler to schoolage, kids can learn a lot about food right at home.

Tasks for toddlers: two to three-years-old These little guys love to help in the kitchen. Even exploring food through their senses is a food “skill” that helps them to learn about what food is and what it can do. Some things to try with your toddler: • Wash fruits or vegetables in the sink and learn the names of the foods being washed. • Add items that are already chopped to the casserole or sauce.

• Help find certain ingredients in the pantry or fridge. • Put paper cups in muffin tins. • Let them play with a wooden spoon and empty pot. • Talk about the colour or smell of the food being prepared. Preschoolers play a part: three to six-years-old Food related activities at this age can help their fine motor skills and wake-up their interest in food and how it comes together to make a meal. Let your preschooler help you with: • Remove shells from hard-boiled eggs. • Pour from a measuring cup. • Take a certain number of carrots from the bag. • Mash cooked vegetables. • Assemble foods (e.g., make their own trail mix). • Stir ingredients together.

Helping in the kitchen can teach kids lessons that go beyond the classroom! For more information about this issue, contact Eatand learn how to use some Right Ontario at 1-877-510small kitchen equipment. 5102 to speak directly to a Older children can learn to: Make tortilla wraps with different fillings. • Toss salad ingredients together with dressing. • Pick ingredients for a smoothie. • Pick out recipes from a cookbook. 2007 Chev • Put together simple meals and snacks (e.g., yogurt + Malibu 2LT fruit, cereal + milk, peanut loaded, 92km red butter + bread).

Getting your kids involved in the kitchen is a good way to pass on family traditions and spend time together. It can also help reinforce what they are learning in school in a very tangible way. There’s no better math lesson than counting and measuring baking ingredients. How can science be more fun than making a food “experiment” and seeing what happens when the recipe is cooked? Social studies starts with Steps for school-age: six to learning where and how food eight-years-old is grown and the importance This is a great age for kids of eating food that comes to try to follow simple recipes from our local area.

vantage of the fact NH has no sales tax. It was lunch hour and we were directed to the Moonbeam CafĂŠ on the town’s main street where we enjoyed the most generous portions of New England clam chowder we have ever been served. It was wonderful! Staff members told us if we had visited Lancaster a day earlier we would have missed the opportunity to try their world class chowder. The restaurant was closed for the day so all the staff could cheer the owners as they accepted the 2013 ‘Hidden Gem’ plaque at the Best of New Hampshire Awards in Manchester. Based on our experience, no surprise there. Leaving Lancaster we headed south to the village of Bath, NH which has three covered bridges. The one in the middle of the community is closed for renovations and, covered in plastic, wasn’t very photogenic. The surprise in Bath was that we were able to visit the ‘Brick Store’ which, it turned out, is America’s oldest continuously operated general store. Talk about a hidden gem! The store was literally bursting with intriguing items and ambience. Back in our base of Stowe, Vermont we spent two more days touring the district.

We added nine more bridges to our lists. The enjoyable part of a covered bridge excursion is the chase itself. We don’t use GPS to locate covered bridges which are often a challenge to find along the winding maze of back roads where so many are located. There’s no “sport� in employing GPS! Instead we rely on paper maps which are less than specific in most cases. Lately we have turned to some of the many books on the subject for directions. If you intend to scope out Vermont’s bridges I recommend ‘Covered Bridges of Vermont’ by Ed Barna which is the best book (in terms of directions) we have found. Obviously I recommend the experience as a great option for a summer vacation. But even if covered bridges don’t turn you on, getting there is half the fun. In the mountainous regions of New England, where many bridges are located, the scenery is so spectacular it sometimes makes you forget what the purpose of your journey was. No matter where your travels take you this summer, enjoy yourselves! If you have any comments or questions for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Help RVCA track algae blooms and excessive aquatic vegetation EMC News – What is that green slime in front of your dock? Are you noticing algae blooms and an increased growth of aquatic plants on your water body? The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) wants to hear about it! The RVCA has created a survey for lake and river users that asks questions about algae and aquatic plants on their water body. This survey is being conducted in response to an increasing number of concerns about algae and aquatic plants in recent years. “We’ve been hearing that there are a lot more blooms and

plants out there, but it doesn’t necessarily match what we are seeing and learning through our water quality sampling,� says Mike Yee, RVCA manager of biology and water quality. Algae and aquatic plants play an important ecological role in lakes and rivers and they should be present in your water body. They are the first, vital links in a natural food chain that all other water creatures rely on including insects, frogs, minnows, small fish right up to top predators like bass, muskie and lake trout. Under normal circumstances, they also produce large amounts of oxygen helping to keep the water qual-

ity in a healthy state. So they are very important. But too much of a good thing can be very bad! During warm weather, populations of algae and aquatic vegetation can grow quickly to form large masses. As the mass grows and expands, algae and plants at the lower levels die off and decompose over large areas. This process uses up much of the oxygen in the water and degrades the entire aquatic ecosystem. “If you’ve noticed changes – or not – we want to hear from you,� says Yee. “We want to get a better idea of areas we can target and focus our energy

LAMING, Dwayne- In loving memory of my dear son who was taken tragically July 4th, 2010. I only have a picture now, A frozen piece of time, To remind me of how it was, When you were here, and mine. How much I miss you being here, I really can not say, The ache is deep inside my heart, And never goes away. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. Always loved and never forgotten, Dan and Fran xoxo LAMING, Dwayne- In loving memory of our dear brother/uncle who was taken tragically on July 4th, 2010. We miss you now, our hearts are sore, As time goes by we miss you more, Your loving smile, your gentle face, No one can fill your vacant place. We can’t have old days back When we were all together. But secret tears and loving thoughts will be with us forever. Always in our thoughts Dwayne xoxo Sherry, Angel, Adam and families.

HINTON, Donna – In fond and loving memory of our wife and mother who passed away June 29, 2005. Tonight the stars are gleaming. On a lonely, silent grave, Where sleeps in dreamless slumber. One we loved but could not save. So may the winds of love blow softly And whisper so you’ll hear; We will always love and miss you And wish that you were here. Ever remembered, ever loved and sadly missed Grant, Terri, Paul and Kevin

DEATH NOTICE

STAPLES David R. July 10, 1947 July 8, 2003

DWAYNE D. LAMING July 4, 2010 My love, beside your grave I often stand, With heart both crushed and sore, Silent til the sweet words come, “Not lost, but gone before”. God knows how much I miss you, He counts the tears I shed. And whispers, “He only sleeps, Your loved one is not dead”. So I’ll be brave, Dwayne, And pray to God each day, So when He calls me home to you, Your smile will guide the way. You were the love of my life and taken far too soon “Thanks for the DANCE” Kathy

IN MEMORIAM In fond and loving memory of our dear Father and Poppy Gone dear father, gone forever, How we miss your smiling face But you left us to remember, None on earth can take your place. A happy home we once enjoyed, How sweet the memory still, But death has left a loneliness The world can never fill. Just when your life was brightest, Just when your years were best, You left this world of sorrow, To a home of eternal rest.

ADAMS – In loving memory of a dear brother Brett Adams, July 8, 2012. Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed, and very dear. Gone but not forgotten Love Herb and Lisa

ADAMS – In loving memory of Brett Philip Adams who passed away July 8, 2012. We thought of you with love today but that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday and days before that too We think of you in silence, we often speak your name but All we have are memories and your pictures 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 hearts. Love Glenda Brittany, Jeff Jonathan and Aundrea

SONNENBURG Tyler Brent Robert “Ty” May 17, 1985 – July 2, 2002 In our home there is a picture, Of your face more precious than gold. And to those who loved and lost you, Your memory will never grow old. Today we look at your picture, At your face so loving and true, No wonder our hearts are breaking “Ty” Losing a son and brother like you. But each day you walk beside us, And when our lives are through, We pray that God will take our hands, And lead us straight to you. You’ll always be loved and remembered And greatly missed “Ty”. Love always and forever, Mom, Dad and your brother Trav xxoo

With all our love. Christina and Hudson Brendan and Dwayne (D.J.) Breige and Daylin Smokey and Layla

Former Lieutenant-Governor ventures into native fiction By BRIAN TURNER Off The Shelf

Arts - “In the early 1930s, Oscar Wolf, a 13-year-old Native from the Chippewas of Rama Indian Reserve, sets fire to the business section of Port Carling north of Toronto in a fit of misguided rage against white society, inadvertently killing his grandfather and a young maid. Tortured by guilt and fearful of divine retribution, Oscar sets out on a lifetime quest for redemption. “His journey takes him to California where he works as a fruit picker and prizefighter during the Great Depression, to the Second World War where he becomes a decorated soldier, to university where he excels as a student and athlete, and to the diplomatic service in the postwar era where he causes a stir at the United Nations in New York and in Colombia and Australia. Beset by an all-too-human knack for making doubtful choices, Oscar discovers that peace of mind is indeed hard to find in this saga of mid-20th-century aboriginal life in Canada and abroad that will appeal to readers of all backgrounds and ages.” These words from the publisher’s overview would be enough on their own to encourage a reader to pick up this novel, but a look behind the scenes, courtesy of the author, should serve to entice readers to the author’s well of six previous works, and a future shelf of fiction and nonfiction challenges. When following the travels and accomplishments of the novel’s protagonist, Oscar Wolf, it’s not hard to draw parallels to another fictional character, Forrest Gump. Like Forest, Oscar is, placed from one historic event to another, exceeding what many non-natives of that era would believe to be his limited abilities. He excels in public schools, even though he’s the victim of

He develops romantic relationships in and outside of his culture. He masters post-secondary education and advances in the oft-time illogical world of the Foreign Service, seemingly making all these achievements without preparation or planning. A lot of divine intervention goes into propelling Oscar Wolf from one misadventure to another. His great-grandmother often told him he was put on the earth as a trickster to amuse the creator. But what sets this novel apart from Forrest Gump by Winston Groom, is the fact that much of what happens to Oscar, his family, friends, and society, is real, and based on the life experiences of the author, our 27th Lieutenant Governor (2002-2007), James

Bartleman. James, a member of the Chippewas of Mnjikaning First Nation, started his education and career life in a similar fashion to Oscar. Both were the benefactors of wealthy residents of Port Carling, receiving unexpected financial aid to start their post-secondary educations. The author went on to serve what must be the most storied and successful career in Canada’s Foreign Service history. Over the course of 35 years he served either as ambassador, or high commissioner, or mission head in such countries as Cube, Israel, Australia, South Africa, and to such organizations as NATO. While the times and circumstances of Oscar Wolf were filled with racism, family dysfunction

caused by residential schools, economic hardships, and cultural clashes, the author treats each with an approach designed to build understanding, not to shock readers or sensationalize tragic events. Bartleman uses the novel to continue the themes he brought to his tenure as Lieutenant Governor: antiracism, welfare and literacy of first-nations children, and mental health. The result is a narrative that brings new perspective to how past political leaders treated first nations peoples. Instead of confrontation there is conversation. Bartleman continues to support literacy initiatives. He has raised more than $7 million for Frontier College: Canada’s original literacy organization.

THE EMC - P1 - Thursday, July 4, 2013

News – The community mourned the passing of a political icon not only in Westport, but in a region where he was wellknown and loved. The longest-serving mayor in Canada, Bill Thake died on Wednesday, June 26 in the Kingston General Hospital after suffering a stroke on June 23. Hundreds gathered in the village of Westport on Saturday, paying tribute to a man whom many said, is “irreplaceable.” He had been at the helm of the council horseshoe since 1969. He was elected to his first term as councillor in 1962 – 51 years ago. He helped rejuvenate the old arena in the village; a place that seemed fitting for final goodbyes. “I was shocked to hear about it,” said Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples, who said he’d worked with Thake on some committees. “I know he loved his community and not only that of Westport but of all of eastern Ontario for more than 50 years. He was everybody’s friend. His common sense and practicality… he made had good solutions made good decisions.” Staples said that when he heard of Thake’s stroke, he was shocked. “I prayed for his recovery and I was saddened to hear that he didn’t make it home.” Smiths Falls chief administrative officer Steve Fournier worked with Thake as the county CAO from 1999 to 2007. “You couldn’t have found a better politician. He had a great sense of humour and found that humour in everything. He always had a joke or a story to ease the tension of a political situation.” Fournier said he learned a lot

from Thake and the ease with which Thake took his position to heart. “Not only did he have respect from all of staff, he knew they all had a job to do and he encouraged them to do it,” Fournier said. Thake was the warden for Leeds and Grenville for four terms, and had just completed his fourth in 2012. Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark and his wife Deanna are away visiting their children in Fort McMurray, Alta. Unfortunately, he said, they were going to miss the funeral. Clark, elected mayor of Brockville in 1982, said he met Thake shortly after that at county council. Back then, county council had some 40 representatives. “He approached me and was very welcoming,” Clark said. “Over the years, he gave me some incredible advice, both when I was mayor of Brockville and as a Member of Provincial Parliament.” Clark remembered a “moving experience” during Thake’s tribute to 50 years in politics. “I was really honoured when his 50th anniversary in politics took place that I was at Queen’s Park and was able to give him a tribute in the legislature for his 50 years,” he said. “It was a darned moving experience, because we had people from all parties give him a standing ovation in the legislature.” Clark added that Thake was one of the most respected municipal politicians in Ontario, and he considered him his friend. “Westport, even though it’s a small place, it certainly has a very big presence on the political stage because of the accomplishments of Bill Thake.”

Clarification

From page P1

Thake had a sense of humour that was second to none, said Clark, who added that he never wanted to go after him when speaking at any public engagements. “He was such a great speaker, and had such a sense of humour that I could never emulate that,� he said. “Ontario has lost one of its greatest and beloved politicians. He was a great guy and he’s going to be missed by a lot of people.� Westport Coun. Roger Merkley said despite being the youngest member of the village’s council, he always had high praise for Thake. “I’m the junior man on council, so I have spent the least amount of time with him, politically, but I’m a lifer of the village as Bill was.� As a child, Merkley spent a lot of time with Thake’s son, Bill G., who predeceased his father in 1979 – after a tragic car accident claimed his life and those of three other teens that fall. That fourperson funeral was the first one Merkley attend-

ed to as a newly graduated funeral director. “That was certainly tough, but I knew if I could get through that, I would be OK with this chosen vocation‌ helping families in their times of need,â€? Merkley said. Years following that, Merkley said Thake (senior) always sent accolades his way as he dealt with families who have lost loved ones. Merkley attended Saturday’s service as part of Westport council. Thake was a member of several organizations including the fire department, Lions Club and Masonic Lodge. Thake – Mr. Westport as he was known – is survived by his wife Marlene (Mustard). He was the father of Lucinda (Cindy) and husband Chris Dopson, and their sons Ben and Eric. Besides his son, Thake was predeceased by brothers Edwin (Bud) and Orval, and by sisters Earlene, Submitted photo Rheona and Audry.

Better stroke care a hospital priority for coming year By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital hopes to improve the quality of care received by stroke survivors at its two sites in the coming year. Richard Schooley, vice chair of the hospital’s board of directors, laid out the hospital’s list of priority goals for the coming year at the hospital’s annual general meeting at the Great War Memorial Hospital site in Perth on Tuesday, June 25. The Excellent Care for All Act of 2010 “commanded, required” the hospital, according to Schooley, to set out goals for the upcoming year, and address areas that may need improvement. The plan for 2013-14 identified several areas that will be tackled, including: • improving acute stroke management, getting 90 per cent of stroke survivors in to rehabilitation within as short a period of time after their attack as possible; • checking 80 per cent of admitted patients for symptoms of stroke; • repatriating Smiths Falls residents who have presented themselves at the Perth site back to their home town as soon as medically appropriate. “We are encouraging Smiths Falls patients to access the Smiths Falls site,” said Schooley, and vice versa; • improving financial strength. “We are not aiming for a huge surplus, but we want to be in the black on a consistent basis,” said Schooley; • reducing the number of days spent in hospital; • creating smoke-free hospital sites, with no smoking on the premises, period. In 2012-13, the hospital set out a number of goals as well, such as: • seeking 100 per cent compliance with the surgical check-list, pre-andpost operation. The success rate sits at 99.8 per cent compliance;

• a decrease in the number of employee incidents from eight to seven; • improvements in hand sanitation, from 70 per cent compliance to 90.5 per cent compliance. “I know that, for myself, that is a challenge, moving from place to place in the hospital,” to remember to always be washing one’s hands, said Schooley; • reducing CT wait times, which Schooley reported were “well below” up. By 2013, that number has dropped provincial expectations; and, • improving patient satisfaction in the to seven, “allowing for bed closures to have a minimal effect,” while keeping emergency room. beds open for incoming patients.

She also sympathized with the strain that managers went through, of the red and into the black.

After presenting a ballot to Marion Bell (right), president of the Great War Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, the Great War Memorial Hospital’s own genie – president and chief administrative officer Linda Bisonette – joins Bell in trying to decipher the handwriting on one of the winning ballots pulled.

Great War Memorial Hospital grants four, not three, genie wishes By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

R0012191473

EMC News – You may dream of genie, but there she was, in real life, in the front foyer of the Perth hospital last week, doling out four wishes instead of three. But she wasn’t feeling overly generous, and it wasn’t her money, per se. Marion Bell, president of the Great War Memorial Hospital Auxiliary explained to the genie – president and chief administrative officer Linda Bisonette – that, in fact, there were 44 ballots in a magic box, with three lucky winners, each departments at the GWM site, winning their write-in wishes, and one winning entry for the GWM Foundation. The ballots were for “up to $800 on a patient care item, so, we have 26 departments that were given ballots,” explained Bell on Friday, June 28.

And the winners were: • Laboratory department, which asked for new blinds in the gift shop and its department to maintain sample integrity. • Clinical dietitian department, which asked for a pedometer, basic cook books, and perfect plates. • Third floor medicine department, which asked for two or three transport chairs to take patients to the x-ray department. And for the GWM Foundation, the winner was the rehabilitation department on the third floor, which asked for a transportation cart for supplies and linens. “It’s providing great excitement and a morale boost for the staff,” said Bisonette from behind her flowing pink veil. “They’re very excited about putting in their ballots, (plus) a bit of healthy competition,” amongst staffers.

Hospital foundations, auxiliaries celebrate community kindness By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Ian Ross can’t understand why people are so modest when it comes to the Smiths Falls hospital’s colon scopes. “(They are) those fun things that we haven’t had anyone want to put their names on (them) as a donor,â€? said a puzzled Ross, representing the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital’s annual general meeting at the Great War Memorial Hospital site in Perth on Tuesday, June 25. Despite the squeamishness about some people towards the devices, they are just one of the many practical, life-saving tools that the foundation has helped the hospital buy, like cataract surgery equipment. “A healthy hospital is a healthy community, and that requires equipment,â€? said Ross, who told the assembled that he often has to battle the perception that “all of the equipment that is (acquired) doesn’t come through the province, that the hospital just fires off a list to the province,â€? when, in fact, “it actually goes through the foundation.â€? The unemployment problems that still bedevil Smiths Falls continue to have a knock-on effect for fundraising. “One of the challenges that the foundation (has) is finding money,â€? said Ross. “Because of the employment problems we have‌but we have managed to overcome that and continue to have community support.â€? Some of his foundation’s upcoming fundraising events include a motorcycle poker run on Sunday, July 7, a golf tournament on Friday, Aug. 23, and a Rocky Horror Picture Show themed dance on Saturday, Oct. 26. Marion Bell of the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation, said that she was proud of the surgical table and event recorder her group had been able to provide to the hospital, amongst other tools of the trade. Her foundation put in 20,224 volunteer hours, doing everything from portering, needs assisting, taking part in the health lottery, hosting teas and toasts, hosting their inaugural golf tournament, and

the day-to-day running of the hospital gift shop. On their radar screen is getting the final $50,000 needed to purchase a washer/disinfector for the operating room. Coming in the middle of the first round of graduation season, Bell pointed to the six $1,000 scholarships being offered to Perth and District Collegiate Institute students who are set to pursue medical studies. For Jackie Staples of the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Auxiliary, nothing succeeds like success, like the “hand-quilted crib sheets for all babies born in the hospital,â€? which topped 350 babies last year. “Our focus will stay with the maternity floor at this time,â€? said Staples. “We will see what we can get for them off of their wish list.â€? As for the crib sheets, “the thank-you letters we get from new mothers is what keeps us going.â€? Other equipment Staples’ group has been able to procure includes $5,000 for a birthing bed, and another $5,000 for an intravenous pump. With 76 members, Staples stated that “we are still in the growing stages.â€? Amongst her group’s upcoming fundraising events, the one that caught the audience’s attention, and drew the most questions, was the Paper and Duct Tape Fashion Show. While details are to follow, Bill Dobson, Warden of Lanark County and Reeve of Montague Township, was heard to ask, “Will Red Green be there?â€? Jocelyn Gordon of the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation was happy to report that her group donated $838,000 last year for equipment, double last year’s amount, about $390,000 of which went to new X-ray equipment in Perth. “The hospital has truly benefited from the donor base,â€? said Gordon, with about $482,000 in donations last year, up from the previous campaign. “Our donors show great compassion for all in our catchment area.â€? She also noted that the annual Black Tie Bingo event, held at Code’s Mill this past April, “wildly exceeded expectations‌ it has become the signature social event of the season,â€? with all of the event’s tickets being snatched up within three hours.

News – Celebrations of the 200th anniversary of European settlement in Tay Valley Township will be happening throughout 2016 and a new anniversary logo has been created for the occasion. Reeve Keith Kerr, in unveiling the new logo at a recent council meeting, noted that the fiddler was an appropriate symbol of both our early and present community. “The fiddler was the focus of our community gatherings, of barn dances, fairs and socials,� Kerr said, “and reflects an important tradition in Tay Valley Township (historically comprised of Bathurst, North Burgess and South Sherbrooke townships).� The sense of community has always been strong in the historic Tay Valley townships. Deputy Reeve Susan Freeman says, “The circular shape in the background of the logo depicts this aspect of a circle of community, while the water flowing

through is symbolic of the abundant rivers, lakes and streams that are an integral part of our lives here.� Logo designer Annie Dalton lives and works at one of the first settler’s homes on the Upper Scotch Line. She also designed the signs for the hamlets in Tay

Valley Township, incorporating characteristics of each community. Dalton has an extensive portfolio of graphic design on both local and international levels. The logo was recently launched with members of Tay Valley’s 200th Anniversary Working Group and the Perth Historical Society, at the Silver Queen Mine. The Perth Historical Society hosted a tour of the Mine with Tobi Kiesewalter as a very entertaining and informative guide. A cake iced with the logo was made by local cake designer Christa Deacove and enjoyed by the participants. More information about the 200th Anniversary can be obtained on the township’s website at www.tayvalleytwp.ca or by contacting the Noelle Reeve, Planner at 613-267-5353.

Perth’s Canadian Tire ambassador delivers little taste of Canada overseas By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

News – A Perth woman had a whirlwind trip to Europe recently as she took red and white greetings to expat Canadian families, just in time for July 1 celebrations. Shana Cook, a retail manager at Canadian Tire in Perth, was the ambassador chosen by the store’s owner, Pierre Hofstatter, to deliver Canada Day care packages to three families. She had a few days to prepare. “It was amazing,” she said, as it was the first time for her on a plane as well. When asked to be the ambassador, Cook said, “I literally jumped at the chance.” “Switzerland is absolutely beautiful. I’m a country girl so getting to fly in and see the mountains was definitely the beginning of a great trip for sure.” Excellent weather, the kindness of people and easy travel were some of the perks of the trip. “It was a whirlwind trip, that’s for sure,” she said. “We were busy every day. It certainly wasn’t a European vacation. I think we nailed it for sure.” Her trip was June 15 to 21 - just in time for this long weekend. She had a travel companion. Bursting with red, white and Canadian pride, the care package was delivered in a Canadian flag adorned cooler. The families received a package filled with everything “Canadiana”, from full- and mini-size Canadian flags, to clothing, water bottles and cooler bags

sporting the iconic maple leaf. The cooler also included fun family outdoor sports and recreation gear like Frisbees and soccer balls. “I was shocked and honoured to be asked to do this,” Cook added. “I really wanted to do it to make the Town of Perth proud, and Canadian Tire proud.” Cook has lived in Perth for seven years, and has worked at Canadian Tire for six. “With Canadian Tire’s 90-year history, we’ve helped Canadians bring Canada Day celebrations to life for decades,” Allan MacDonald, Canadian Tire’s chief operating officer, said. “We’re proud to be able to bring a taste of home and celebration overseas for our Canadian expats living all over the world.” Cook added that seeing the joy on the family members faces was priceless. “Canadian Tire has really made the holiday so special for these families who were homesick for a little taste of Canada.” While overseas, Cook visited the suburbs of Bern, Switzerland, Jurbise, Belgium and Wolfenbuttel, Germany, seeing firsthand, transcontinental Canadian pride. “As Canadians living abroad, while we love sharing our nationality and culture with our new neighbours,” said Tatiana Warkentin, a Canadian expat living in Bern, Switzerland, “it’s hard to be away from home on Canada Day. We were so surprised when Shana arrived at our door with Canadian Tire’s

The show goes on in Calgary

Editorial – Even after it rains, you can usually count on a rainbow. That’s what appears to be happening in Calgary, where one of the brightest hues of the ‘bow appears to be their mayor, Naheed Nenshi. Here is a man who didn’t sleep for 43 hours straight as floodwaters laid waste to his city’s downtown core. Here is a man who only resumed wearing a business suit on Tuesday – wearing a jersey on Canada Day. Even God rested on the seventh day, so Nenshi’s words to fellow Calgarians to “take a break,” according to the Calgary Sun, on Canada Day were necessary for a city full of frazzled nerves and stressed out people, to recoup and regroup, and pick up refreshed the next day. There were, admittedly, other Canadians, who were frankly surprised that Calgary even had Canada Day celebrations on July 1. But that cowboy, frontier spirit – mixed with the best of the human spirit overall – is something that even flood waters cannot stop. Even with extensive water damage, just as many Canadians, if not more, were floored that the Calgary Stampede – albeit a scaled down one – will go ahead this weekend. We could say that Calgary is back, but to this, Nenshi told CBC News Network on Monday that that would suggest that Calgary ever went away – which, in his eyes, it didn’t. Others may wear “Keep Calm and Carry On,” t-shirts, but Calgarians are living it. Nenshi’s shining example is just what we needed, especially in the wake of the resignation of Montreal’s second mayor in under a year, the arrest of Laval, Quebec’s mayor on gangsterism charges, and the hallucination-like allegations swirling around Toronto’s mayor. Nenshi follows in the example of other “every-

where Mayors” like New York’s Fiorello LaGuardia, the little flower, who zipped around town in a police motorcycle sidecar, or later Gotham Mayor Rudy Giuliani during the 9/11 crisis, or even Newark, New Jersey’s mayor Corey Booker, who helped his city shovel out after a snow storm. Not for nothing are Calgarians super-imposing Nenshi’s face over that of Superman in posters, at bus shelters and elsewhere, for the new Man of Steel movie. And it was refreshing to see that while, on the one hand, he urged people to hug an emergency responder, on the other hand he railed against gawkers and ‘yahoos’ in canoes on the city’s swollen rivers. You can’t fight city hall, but when it works, it works – in spite of interfering bureaucrats, who showed us the worst examples of not only taking your eye off of the ball, but re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic as the boat sank. Some members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police need to give their heads a shake after taking guns from people’s homes. They called it a safety issue – well who, after a mandatory evacuation notice, is going to be around to steal them? Then there were the public health officials who, apparently, had nothing better to do than swoop down on the Purple Perk and Original Joe’s restaurants, closing the facilities who were providing free coffee and food to first responders. Their crime? Insufficient lighting – at a time when there were blackouts throughout the city. Nothing to do with the quality of the food. Natural disasters can bring out both the best and the worst in people. We’ve seen bureaucrats leading with their heads instead of their hearts, their rigid ideology instead of common sense. Let’s try and follow the example of our fellow Canadians in Calgary, and their tweet-loving mayor.

Harbouring a fugitive Lifestyle - You may have noticed (if you are a regular reader) that I think it’s important to get kids connected with nature. Possibly you’ve heard me prattle on about how I spent half my childhood mucking about in swamps catching frogs, turtles, tadpoles, snakes, snails, minnows, crayfish and all manner of cool critters. So when I landed a summer job at Murphys Point Provincial Park after my first year in university, it was pretty awesome that I got to actually help with programs that taught people about some of those cool critters, and I learned even more about them myself. One of the things that wasn’t so cool was the gypsy moth study. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before, too, but bear with me – there’s a theme here. A kazillion years ago when I was a student (1990s), gypsy moths were a relatively new invasive species that were a huge problem. They were deforesting huge tracts. The Ministry of Natural Resources was studying the problem and was conducting aerial spraying programs and various preventive measures. Provincial parks were logical places for studies, and students helped. That meant I had a thrilling task. Someone official had tied burlap sacks around a cluster of tree trunks in a wooded area near the park office. On designated days I got to trudge off to this area and lift up the burlap, exposing wiggly masses of gypsy moth caterpillars, which I counted and recorded for each tree. And then, because lifting up the wiggly sack wasn’t gross enough, I had to pick up a stick or a rock and squish all those evil, nasty, dastardly forest killers. I know it seems odd that the girl who goes seeking cool critters was squeamish about this task, but I’ve never been crazy about a) insects that hide

in dark places or b) killing throngs of them. I like caterpillars per se, but not dark, squirmy, destructive masses of them. Besides, sometimes the caterpillar guts would fly into my face. STEPHANIE GRAY Ew. The subject trees were located in a low area beside the road on the way to the gatehouse, so more than a few campers driving in witnessed a tall, gangly, frizzy-haired girl in a brown and beige uniform beating a tree with a rock and periodically squealing. I think the campers stayed despite that ominous sign. Anyway, the reason I bring up these happy memories is because, ironically, Girlchild is currently nurturing a gypsy moth caterpillar. She calls “him” Poochie and he lives in a lovely little bug terrarium. She cleans the container faithfully. Each day she collects new, fresh maple leaves and rinses them off so Poochie has some water droplets. He munches the leaves voraciously. (I should look up that study to see which flavour of trees were preferred in the 1990s. I suspect it was maple.) We have watched Poochie shed his skin a few times and, currently, he has positioned himself in a secluded corner of the terrarium and appears ready to enter the pupae stage. She even took Poochie to school for the class to see. By the end of the summer we should have a, uh, beautiful gypsy moth in our midst. We were at the park on the weekend and told a park naturalist about Girlchild’s little project. “Oh,” he said, grinning at me. “Well, one more gypsy moth won’t hurt.” Then he said he had never seen one pupate, so we promised to take pictures. It has been pretty cool to watch so far, actually. In small doses, I’m all over the gypsy moth life cycle, even if it does feel a bit like harbouring a fugitive.

The Promise of Enough!

R0012191704_0704

Lifestyle – The Old Testament offers wonderful stories, not least the story of the prophet Elijah and the widow of Zaraphath (I Kings 17: 8-16). Elijah and the widow were experiencing drought and famine. When Elijah sought her hospitality, the widow responded, ‘‘...I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a jug (I Kings 17: 12).” As the ministerial representative on the Board of Perth’s Table Community Food Centre, I am aware that scarcity is still a reality among us today as the number of users of the Good Food Bank has gone up in this last year. Of 619 households using the Good Food Bank in 2012, 207 of these were new families. The good news is that at the end of 2011, the Table joined the churches in offering free community meals. We have been offering these on Saturday nights; the Table now does so three evenings a week. The lack or scarcity which the churches and the Table are addressing has not, however, emerged from a situation of drought. I quote from Nick Saul and other leaders from the emerging Community Food Centre movement in Canada, “The problem is this: food is viewed today first and foremost as a commodity whose production, distribution, and consumption are determined solely by the marketplace. We pro pose an alternative view: to see food as a public good, one that is key to human

to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah.” She was blessed with enough! I am thankful that faith communities are part of the solution to the issue of food security in Perth. So the ability of our local Table Com-

Religion Today health and an equitable society – and as such, one in which society as a whole has an interest.” In the widow’s circumstance, Elijah informed her that as she responded in faith to his need, God would ensure that her jar of meal and her jug of oil would not fail until rain returned to the earth. What a promise! That her lack, her scarcity would be replaced by enough. She had the faith to change her plans for the day and make a cake for her visitor before one for herself and her son. What she discovered is that the cake for herself and her son which she had thought would be their last meal on earth was the first of many such cakes that she was able to feed him and her visitor until the rain came back. “The jar of meal was not emptied; neither did the jug of oil fail, according

To the Editor, I am writing to add some context to recent letters to the editor regarding medallions presented at a town council meeting. The medallions were given to Perth Police Services Board members at the April 25 council meeting in conjunction with a presentation about the 162-year history of the service. All members of the service received these medallions from the board – officers and civilians, including dispatchers – prior to the transition in April. They contain the Perth Police crest and were designed by Chief Pat Capello as a memento. The civilians

received their medallions at a dinner and the officers received theirs at the transition ceremony. Chief Pat Capello and Inspector Glen Dewey received tokens of recognition at a retirement luncheon. The board is continuing to work with the museum and the town to establish ways to commemorate the proud history of the Perth Police Service. Sincerely,

Ryan’s Legacy: A tale of love and healing - a book by Almonte native lucy.hass@metroland.com

Lifestyle – When Admaston-Bromley resident Judy Cressman’s son Ryan died Nov. 30, 2009, she felt like she wanted to die. Today, her healing journey has led her to a place of comfort where she believes she will one day see her son again. Ryan, who attended Renfrew Collegiate Institute, was only 31 years old when he died of cancer. Written under Cressman’s maiden and pen name J.J. Southwell, Ryan’s Legacy – How to Survive the Loss of Your Loved One, is the compelling tale of a mother’s love and the lessons she learned dealing with her son’s untimely death. “You do not get over your loss, but you work through it,” says Cressman. She hopes her book will present some ideas that help other people go-

ing through the loss of a loved one. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change,” she says. Outlook is everything, and she believes the world is filled with positive energy that people can tap into to lead a happier life. Those sources range from angels, crystals and meditation to hobbies, family and prayer. The retired elementary school principal believes loved ones remain close to us, even after death, and the signs are all around us if we practice awareness and are open to the signs from beyond. “There are no coincidences. Be open to the signs,” she advises. After her son’s death, Cressman discovered a dragonfly symbol on his computer. It has become the sign through which they communicate. The book recounts numerous incidences which brought comfort to Cressman in recent years. It also

features special chapters written by Ryan’s brothers, Derek and Jon. Primarily, the book conveys the knowledge and messages Cressman has gained through visits through psychic mediums, a shamanic practitioner, and tarot-card and tea-leaf reader. “The whole book started out as a journal,” says Cressman, who finished the handwritten version of the journal last summer and prepared it for self-publication this past winter. Aside from writing, she has also been a voracious reader on various subjects related to the afterlife (Heaven), reincarnation and past lives. Cressman has a B.A. in psychology and a master’s degree in education. Since Ryan’s death, Cressman has read 120 books and trained to be a Reiki master and teacher. She now hopes to pursue study of another fascinating subject matter, intuition.

Ryan’s Legacy – How to Survive the Loss of Your Loved One is available at local bookstores and on Amazon, through Barnes and Noble in hardcover, softcover and e-book. This week Cressman, who is originally from Almonte but lives just outside Renfrew with her husband Bob, embarks on a valley booksigning tour. Book signing dates and locations: • Friday, July 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Soul Sense in Almonte; • Saturday, July 6 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Arnprior Book Store; • Saturday, July 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. at A Sense of Country in Renfrew; • Saturday, July 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. at The Book Nook in Perth; • Saturday, July 20 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Read’s Book Shop in Carleton Place; and • Arlie’s in Smiths Falls in the fall.

Brazilian band, PDCI alumni host heavy metal fundraiser for music department desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Entertainment – A Brazilian band, partly inspired by a Perth musician, will trade the Amazon River for the Tay Canal later this summer to help raise funds for Perth and District Collegiate Institute’s music department. Only through the magic of technology, would a band from Rio de Janiero find itself coheadlining a fundraising concert for PDCI at the Perth Studio Theatre on Saturday, Aug. 3. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the concert for the all ages show starting at 8 p.m. Each band has a one-hour set, with a half-hour intermission between. Tickets will be sold by PDCI music students and at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St. in Perth. “A band from Brazil (Santuarium), heart their music (online) and asked to play with

them,� said Dave Thompson, father of PDCI alumni and Sovereign Council band member Chris Thompson, who attended the music program at PDCI with Carleton Place native and fellow band mate Alex MacWilliam. The seven-member Brazilian band heard their Canadian counterpart’s music from their January-released CD on the website reverbnation.com, and decided that they wanted to include a stop in Perth on the Ontario leg of their North American tour. “PDCI was so good to the boys,� said Thompson. “Without the support and inspiration of their old music teacher, Jack Hurd, this CD would not have happened,� said Thompson. “They wanted to give something back and to show off what they had done. They are getting some good reviews.� Be warned, however, not to expect the hits of Michael

Buble, Neil Diamond or Rita MacNeil. They describe their music as symphonic metal or power metal. “It’s heavy metal music but it is based on classical music,� said Thompson. “It bridges the gap between classical and metal.� And who would have ever thought that those two genres needed bridging? Sovereign Council will open for Santuarium at the Obsession Live Lounge in Ottawa on Thursday, Aug. 1, and there is show in Kingston, the band’s base of operations, which is already sold out. “I never was a big heavy metal fan,� admits Thompson. “(But) they are very, very powerful on stage. It’s not just music, it is a performance.� After PDCI, Chris Thompson went to Queen’s University in Kingston to study history.

After studying drama and theatre at St. Lawrence College’s Brockville campus, Alex MacWilliam moved to Kingston as well, where he met up again with Chris Thompson. The band recorded the album there as well, in a home studio. While Hurd himself will be unable to attend the concert, as

he is still travelling in Europe, he is still in contact with the boys and wishes them well with the concert. About 11,000 Facebook followers also believe that they are on the right track. “(Hurd) was quite excited,� said Thompson about the fundraising, because of the laundry

Middleville Museum opens new wing thanks to Trillium donation

News – The Middleville Museum’s new wing opened officially and showcased for the first time its full collection of local historical artifacts thanks in part to a $100,200 Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) grant. Joining the ribbon-cutting ceremony were representatives of Lanark County, the Township, OTF representative Gordon Munroe and museum enthusiasts. “With the help of a generous Ontario Trillium Fund grant, the new expansion to the Middleville and District Museum provides an improved opportunity for visitors to view some of the many historic displays and artifacts the museum has to offer. The great efforts of the community of dedicated volunteers who helped make this expansion possible are a testimony to the value of perseverance and commitment,” said Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington “The opening of the new wing has made an extraordinary difference to what the museum offers the community. The

OTF grant, plus endless hours of work by talented and dedicated volunteers, has made the museum’s transformation possible,” added Alice Borrowman, curator. Set in an 1861 two-storey stone schoolhouse, this unique, all-volunteer museum exhibits treasures from our local area that illustrate the working and domestic life of days past; celebrates the region’s pioneer history; and archives genealogical documents and family records. The Township of Lanark Highlands supports the development of its cultural assets and museums, including the Middleville & District Museum. A leading grant-maker in Canada, the Ontario Trillium Foundation strengthens the capacity of the voluntary sector through investments in communitybased initiatives. An agency of the Government of Ontario, OTF builds healthy and vibrant communities. For more information about the Middleville & District Museum, see http://middlevillemuseum.blogspot.ca/

Kickboxing and fishing a big hit at Lanark Highlands Youth Centre Sports – It has been a busy month at the centre and that was no different when it came to the YAL (Youth Active Living) Program at the Lanark Highlands Youth Centre. On June 16, 10 youth took part in kickboxing. A kickboxer himself Mark Melanson of Perth Athletic Centre (PAC) volunteered his time and equipment with a group of 10 youth to teach kickboxing, and the training involved to become a kickboxer or boxer, like his assistant Taylor Little. The youth were able to punch, kick, and exercise like Little does but at slower pace. The youth had a great time

learning the skills needed to do kickboxing. Melanson is the owner and a sensei at PAC, while Little trains at the facility to prepare herself for her boxing matches. If you are interested in Kickboxing feel free to contact Mark at PAC at 613-264-2614, or contactus@pacmac.ca. As for the other event we held on June 20, six youth took in fishing with volunteer Larry Deforge. An avid angler himself Larry helped youth throughout the event to put worms on hooks, get unstuck from the river’s bottom or from weeds, and taught them a few things about fishing

they didn’t know. Although only one youth was able to catch fish they all had a great time trying. The next YAL program is the final YAL program, as the group will be heading to Rideau River Provincial Park to go camping on July 12 to 14. Congratulations to all the members who took part in the YAL program so far and are attending the trip. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact the centre at 613-259-2012 or drop us an email at lhyci@storm.ca. Submitted by Michelle Deforge, Lanark Highlands Youth Centre

Second World War, Merchant Marine vets wanted By TERRY O’HEARN

News – Do you know any Second World War Navy or Merchant Marine veterans? We are still looking for veterans, including Bomber Command, who served on the Arctic or “Murmansk Run” convoys, or their next-of-kin. Please contact terry@ohearn.net for more information, as they may be qualified to receive the Arctic Star medal. We can help in submitting your application, and there is also more information on our website listed below. Although Legion members tend to be proudly Canadian at all times, the Canada Day Celebration held in

Branch 244 News the Members’ Lounge on Monday was still an opportunity to “show the flag”. Red and white was the prominent colour, as a sizable gathering danced to the music of the Long Sault Trio and enjoyed a variety of popular barbecue fare and cold refreshments. Chair for this event was Richard Brown, who did an excellent job in the organization and

preparations, along with many other volunteers. While some of us remember the annual celebration as “Dominion Day”, Canada Day still marks the anniversary of the Constitution Act of 1867. It wasn’t until the year 1958 that our government first recognized the new name, and the holiday continued to grow, especially in the late 1960’s when television broadcasts of events added to the growing popularity. The holiday was made official in 1982, and the magnitude of the celebrations increased even more. Many citizens of Perth will have attended events here, and others will have travelled to Ottawa for

Canada’s largest celebration. Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier, January 24, 1919: “The veteran troopship, the Olympic, docked at Halifax Friday morning with over five thousand passengers, military and civilian, on board. The trip over was reported by the boys to have been a stormy one, but the treatment accorded them was good. Perth boys on the troopship included: Major John Hope, M.C., Harold Bygrove, James Brown, Wm. G. Daughen, W.J. Inwood, Edward Fraser, and Lance Affleck, Lanark. John Phillips and Homer Sinclair, Balderson.” Did you know?

One of Canada’s greatest Navy heroes was Admiral Percy Nelles. Nelles rose through the ranks to become Senior Canadian Flag Officer Overseas in 1944, and was subsequently in the thick of the Normandy invasion that June. At the end of the war, Nelles retired from the RCN with the rank of full Admiral after 37 years in uniform. He had become the youngest Rear Admiral in the British Commonwealth during that time, and was given a burial at sea with full Naval honours when he died in 1951.

News – A Perth man who is following in his father’s footsteps as a local contractor will be on centre stage this week during the Skills Competences Canada show – but he will be doing so in Germany. This is the 42nd WorldSkills Competition, a biennial international event that is the pinnacle of excellence in skilled trades and technologies training. The event takes place this week, from July 2 to 7 in Leipzig, Germany. The 35 members of Team Canada will compete against more than 900 competitors from 54 WorldSkills International Member countries/regions in team and individual competitions for the chance of earning the title of world champion within their skilled trade and technology category. “Having supported many Skills Canada National Competitions and two recent WorldSkills Competitions, I am more than convinced than ever that this competition format is the best way to promote the trades and technology to our youth,” says Mike Holmes, Canada’s Most Trusted Contractor and host of HGTV’s Holmes Make it Right. “With our global economic climate as it is, I am prepared to challenge the world to bring these competitions into the spotlight, much the same as top athletic events.”

Local psychic to bring messages from spirit world to Kingston audience By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC Entertainment – Do you want to experience something out of this world? If you would like to become inspired about your life, seek answers to questions that may be just a little out of reach, then try getting those answers from the other side, with the help of renowned psychic medium, Matthew Stapley. The Ottawa South resident and Carleton Place native will give you the opportunity to get messages from your dearly departed loved ones as he will bridge that gap from the spirit world to the earth plane on Friday, July 26. His live, three-part performance will kick off at 7:30 p.m. at the Residence Marriott Inn, Kingston. “It’s going to be awesome,” he said in a phone interview. Stapley is becoming a household name in the Nation’s Capital and beyond, with a television show on the Rogers Network, radio gigs, as well as personal readings and group sessions at cafés, book stores and the like. Stapley says he’s able to dial into messages from loved ones who have passed on and he delivers those messages in such a way as to bring hope, peace and love to the inquirer. The first part of the Kingston show is a 45-minute question-and-answer period on psychic ability. It will be a chance for people to ask Stapley about their own encounters, or ask him about his experience with the paranormal, mediumship and spirit. After a 10-minute break, he will return to the message portion of the show. “That’s the cool part that most people come for,” he said. “It’s where I work really hard to bridge a connection between spirit and the earth plane. I deliver messages di-

Stapely did a show at Kingston’s Baby Grand last year and it was sold out a week in advance. Because of the intensity of the messages and how he brings those messages to the inquisitive, Stapely prepares his own mind, thoughts and feelings prior to a show of this mag-

nitude. It’s not just another psychic reading. “It’s a lot of energy, but it’s nice. I have a good team of people working with me behind the scenes as well to help maintain my energy, and of course my spirit guides and loved ones in spirit, and my angels will help me maintain my energy level and the energy of the stage and make it conducive for that type of event.” Meditation is key, he says. “But honestly, I just jump in with both feet. The energy within that preparation is very important to

ensure people get the healing that they’re coming to get.” Stapley says the majority of people who attend an event like this, do so in hopes of hearing from loved ones who’ve passed and to help themselves in their own healing journeys. “If people are coming for that, then it’s the least I can do is to give them all I’ve got with that 100 per cent preparation,” he says.

In the beginning Stapley was just eight years old, and living in Carleton Place – where he lived until he was 20 – when he has his first psychic encounter. He was getting messages from his deceased grandfather, who was also a medium. “I went through periods when I was depressed and I shut down,” he says, as he wasn’t sure what he was encountering. “It’s only been the last year when I have opened up and told my story about growing up as a medium, and needing counselling. I was feeling so much from other people (spirit wise). I was doing readings, but I didn’t know how much Spirit was in my life until I had one psychiatrist tell me that I wasn’t sick and I had a gift.” He’s been working with it ever since. Now, that gift is hugely helpful, he says, not only in his own personal healing journey, but in those around him who seek his services. “When you devote yourself to something, whether it’s this, (or something else), there are times when it just comes up,” Stapley says when asked if he could just shut off the messages that he hears. “There are times when it comes out randomly… like if I’m in a lineup (grocery store, coffee shop) and someone asks me what I do for a living, and they’ll end up hearing from their (deceased) grandmother,” he says with a laugh. But he doesn’t just deliver messages without someone taking that initial step. “In order to do random messages they have to ask me what I do for a living,” he says. “That’s my rule for the Spirit World.”

PSYCHIC From page 37

worse, Stapley says that when he decided to switch gears from a medical lab technician to a full time psychic-medium, it opened up a huge part of his life – being in service and helping people. “I feel that this is what I’m here for… to bring people those messages.” A car accident in which he suffered a head injury really drove home the point that this is his gift, and he should be using it to the best of his ability. “The full time realization came about when I was 23,” he says, which was only four years ago. The best part of his gift is helping people, he says, but what’s the worst part? “No one’s ever asked me that,” he says. “That’s cool… I guess the worst part is the times where I’m helping someone, but the caliber of that message isn’t that strong. I will refund my client because I’m not getting what I want to get out a session. If it’s not up to

my standards, my client will not pay.” Stapley does have repeat clients, but cautions not to get too used to his services. “I would say that my services can be a great way to connect but I think there is a certain amount of personal responsibility that comes on my client’s part and on mine to ensure that the readings are a guiding tool, not a dependency,” he says. Sometimes, his friends bug him for free readings, but he doesn’t often get the right connections. “For me authenticity and integrity are so important in a reading and when I know someone too well I find that the principles of ethical spirit communication can be jeopardized,” he says. For the skeptic, a testimonial from an Ottawa lawyer, who would only share the initials M.Q., said that he tested Stapley on his ability to connect with his deceased father before he believed in Stapley’s psychic ability. “Matthew passed with flying colours. The amount of

information and the specificity of the information Matthew provided shocked me. Only my father and I could possibly have been aware of the events and information Matthew conveyed to me. I am definitely converted and believe in spirit and am convinced that Matthew is a medium capable of conveying messages from those passed on.” Business side of life Stapley and his partner Tristian Brine started their present business, TransdimensionalBeing Associates Inc. which aims to bring people to a better understanding of spirit within their lives. Brine, also a medium and healing energy facilitator, works with people who want to heal certain aspects of their lives. If you would like more information or to book an appointment with Stapley, visit the website listed above or TransdimensionalBeing Associates Inc. or like him on Facebook.

Charity Motorcycle Run to support Interval House, hospital foundation July 7 EMC Events – On Sunday, July 7, motorcycle enthusiasts will once again ride together for the second annual Charity Motorcycle Run in support of two important local charities. Riders will gather at the Dan Peters Sales Centre, located at

3768 Highway 43 (Perth highway), before setting on a scenic 200-kilometre ride. The ride will travel through the beautiful countryside of Merrickville and along the St. Lawrence then on to Crosby, Westport and Rideau Ferry. It

ends at the Dan Peters Auction site at 182 Glenview Road where participants will enjoy a barbecue corn roast and a special live performance by Smith Falls’ very own Jeff Keays and friends. The proceeds from this

charity event will be divided between two local community organizations, Lanark County Interval House and the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation. “Community support is vital to our success and we recognize how much work it takes to organize a great event like this one. We are thrilled that the Rideau Winery and Dan Peters Auctions have chosen our agency as one of the beneficiaries of the Char-

ity Motorcycle Run,” said Heather Whiting, fundraising and volunteer coordinator for Lanark County Interval House. All funds donated to Interval House and to the hospital foundation stay in the community where they will be used to fund important local programs and to support a list of essential hospital equipment. Registration will take place between 9 to 10:15 a.m. at the Dan Peters Sales Centre. The

cost is $25 for both riders and passengers and includes the meal and live music at the end of the run. Non-riders are also welcome to the after-run festivities for a cost of $10 per person. To join the ride, call the Rideau Winery at 613-2051500 or Dan Peters at 613284-8281 or Liquid Dreamz Tattoo 613-283-2600. Corporate sponsorship opportunities are also still available.

Transmission service: Don’t get given the slip EMC Lifestyle – Recently we had a discussion on the pros and cons of regular and preventative maintenance and automakers’ tendency to stretch their recommended service intervals in terms of time and mileage. A lot of dealerships as well as independent shops and mass merchandisers have started to suggest a general inspection combined with an engine oil and filter change two or three times a year to make sure their customers don’t get left on the side of the road. During these inspections, techs will inspect a number of vehicle systems and fluids and filters and one that is critical for continued reliable operation is the automatic transmission fluid. Vehicle makers differ quite a bit when it comes to time and mileage intervals for transmission fluid and filter replacement. Some are as low as 72K km and some are as high as 150K km. It’s always best to refer to your own vehicle’s owner’s manual to be certain of your vehicle’s needs. This fluid operates under pressure and at high temperatures. It also serves to collect small metal particles that wear off of various internal transmission surfaces as

a matter of normal wear and tear. These particles end up trapped in the transmission’s oil pan courtesy of a magnet placed there by the assembler. The fluid is used to transfer rotational force from the front of the transmission (where it’s bolted to the engine) to the rear where it connects to the final drive and drive axles. Repair shops, including dealerships will usually recommend one or two variations on replacing the fluid. The first involves removing the pan, draining whatever fluid comes out, replacing the filter and fluid. The downside with this is that it will only drain, on average, about 4 to 5 litres of the approximately 10-12 litre total that the transmission holds. A good portion of the fluid will remain in the torque convertor or in certain internal passages. If your vehicle requires fluid replacement at the low end of the interval spectrum (say 72K km), this method isn’t as bad as it sounds because over the course of two or three such services, the majority of the fluid will get exchanged. The second most popular method involves the use of specialized flushing equipment which pushes old fluid

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

out of the transmission by means of a circulation pump. This will effectively remove over 90 per cent of the fluid but the downside here is that few shops recommend replacing the filter with this method. The best way is to flush the fluid out and have the filter replaced at the same time. The cost of this varies with vehicle types but the general range for the average vehicle is between $250 and $350. Leaving this maintenance item uncompleted can lead to internal transmission failure which can bring a minimum cost of around $2,500 for removal and a basic overhaul and a few days off the road or more. A lot of drivers wait until a poor shifting or slipping symptom arises before getting the service done and in many cases like this, power flushing the transmission will make things worse not better. Make sure this fluid is checked at every oil change and keep track of when its replacement

is due and get it done. On Saturday July 6 the Carkinator Car and Moto Rally rolls into the Winchester Arena parking lot at 10 a.m. Join New York Islander’s Matt Carkner for this third annual event in support of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital.

UCDSB encourages dialogue with community groups EMC News – Trustees at the Upper Canada District School Board want community groups that use their schools outside school hours to first contact the board before concluding that they may have to pay the board new fees. The board recently reviewed its community use of schools policy and procedure and found they weren’t consistently applied to all community groups. The result is that some groups may have to begin paying fees for using the school facilities.

“However, we don’t want any community group to assume that a fee will be charged,” outlined board chair Greg Pietersma. Some groups would be charged a fee to use facilities but there are exceptions, depending on the nature of the group, not-forprofit versus for-profit, etc. Before any community group concludes that they will have to pay a new fee, we encourage those groups to first contact the school board (1-800267-7131) and speak to Judi Piovesan, risk and community

outreach coordinator. The board is also establishing a focus group made up of principals, trustees, administrative staff and community users to identify issues within the procedure that negatively impact users and bring relevant recommendations to the Board’s strategic council for consideration. The recommendations cannot impact working conditions found in collective agreements, requiring additional staff, or adding to the cost of the program. Submitted by the UCDSB.

CDSBEO trustees approve compliant budget for 2013-14 school year EMC News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) June 18 board of trustees meeting at the board office in Kemptville. The CDSBEO’s board of trustees has approved an operating budget of $163.4 million, and a capital budget of $10.4 million, for the 2013-14 school year. All expenditure areas were carefully reviewed to ensure excellence in Catholic program delivery for students across eastern Ontario. The budget provides for the required enhancements associated with the final year of two-year collective agreements, expiring Aug. 31, 2014. Trustees approved the budget at the board meeting held June 18. Brent Laton, chair, commended the group. “This budget will help to ensure that the 2013-14 year will be another successful year,” he said. “On behalf of the board of trustees, I extend my sincere gratitude for the work done by executive council, and the finance department.” Director of Education, William J. Gartland, was pleased with the report. “The budget is proof that our staff remains dedicated to student success. We are ensuring that our staff can continue to engage directly with our students, while providing a strong foundation for our youngest learners, as all schools will offer a full-day, every day kindergarten program next year,” he stated. “I am very pleased that we have achieved these goals while remaining excellent stewards of our financial resources.” Capital projects The board will complete capital related projects to address the final phase of accommodation requirements for full-day kindergarten at eight elementary schools. Construction/renovations will be finalized by the end of August 2014 at St. Edward, Westport; St. John Bosco, Brockville; St. Mary-St. Cecilia, Morrisburg; Bishop Macdonell, Cornwall; Iona Academy, Williamstown; St. Andrew’s, St. Andrews West; Sacred Heart, Cornwall; and Our Lady of Good Counsel, Ingleside. The board has also received $8.4 million for two capital priorities projects. A $1.8 million, three classroom addition at St. Mary-St. Cecilia in Morrisburg, and a $6.6 million, 12-classroom addition to Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place. The board will also receive a School Condition Improvement allocation of $1.3 million to help address the much needed facility repairs and upgrades.

Mike Ogilvie to bring screaming 1982 Dodge Rampage out for Merrickville car show EMC Lifestyle - Mike Ogilvie of Jasper, Ont., near Smiths Falls, owns a 1982 Dodge Rampage with far more horsepower than it had when new: “I originally got the idea for this vehicle from a late ‘80s catalogue, where I saw a Rampage converted to rear-wheel drive. After returning from the Street Machine Nationals in Illinois in 1990, I started looking for one. The Rampage was originally designed off the Omni but with a truck bed and tailgate similar to an El Camino. They were front-wheeldrive and with four cylinders. They were only built from ’82 to ’85 and I wanted the ’82 (best looking). After some

searching, my girlfriend (now my wife) saw one at our local car dealer in Smiths Falls. “The only pieces I needed were the body and a few interior pieces. These cars were uni-body so the removal of the body was very time-consuming. We constructed a tube chassis with roll cage and mounted the Rampage body on it. The drivetrain has a 448 cid Big Block Dodge, a 727

auto trans, and 8 ž rear differential. “It was ready for the Street Machine Nationals in 1991 where it was a big hit and landed on the front cover of Car Craft magazine. We showed and raced the Rampage from 1991 to 1999 and received many awards and many magazine features and articles. In 1999 I crashed the car at a drag strip and the Rampage

sat until 2004 when friends and co-workers decided we should rebuild it and go drag racing again. We raced it only one night and it went back into storage while I started racing dragsters in NHRA and IHRA competition. “One of the highlights in the Rampage’s career was when I hauled it down to Ocala, Florida, in 1994 to the Don Garlits Museum for a Mopar show. My plan was to try and get him to sign the wing. I have been a huge Garlits fan since I was

a kid. He not only signed the wing but I won the show! “This year the guys from the Merrickville Car Show asked me if I still had the Rampage because they had been asked by some people where it was. So I have decided to bring it out for the 2013 show on Sunday, July 14. This car has been a huge part of my life for a lot of years so it is cool to be getting it back out for everyone to see and relive all the memories.� Mike and his wife Vicki op-

erate Ogilvie’s Auto & Fleet Service Inc. in Jasper and are one of the chief sponsors of the Merrickville Car Show. I’m always looking for more stories.

Director brings perfect summer UCDSB signs agreement with Eastern Ontario Network action fare to the big screen My Take MARK HASKINS

hesitate to start kicking butt to find her. Meanwhile President Sawyer (Jamie Fox) is being hurried to a secure location within the White House when he’s betrayed by one of his own. The head of his security detail, Martin Walker (James Woods), is the one behind the entire attack. Luckily for Sawyer, John happens upon them just in time. John has to find a way to get the President out of the White House, rescue the hostages, and save his daughter. He has some help from the outside by way of agent Finnerty (Maggie Gyllenhaal), but for the most part it’s just John and President Sawyer against a mad man and his army of mercenaries. I don’t know if Emmerich did it on purpose or if he claims it’s just a coincidence, but the similarities between White House Down and Die Hard are remarkable to say the least. I

suppose it doesn’t really matter because Emmerich pulls it off. White House Down is a good summer action film. Likeable heroes, despicable villains, a larger-than-life scenario, a few plot twists, a few more oneliners, and a whole lot of action make it well worth seeing. Channing Tatum and Jamie Fox take a good action movie and make it a fun action movie. On their own there’s no question of their talent, but together something special happens. They are funny, they are charming and they are heroic on a whole other level. They are so much fun to watch I hope they do another film together. The rest of the cast isn’t too bad either. Joey King definitely steals the show and Maggie Gyllenhaal nails the part of the intelligent and forceful Secret Service agent. It takes a great actor to play a great villain and James Woods is most certainly a great actor. White House Down is just what I look for in a summer action film. Enough serious action to get the heart pounding, but a light enough plot to keep me laughing. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

broadcasts for UCTV, as well as working with our schools – teachers and students from grades 5 to 12 – on a curriculum which will teach the students the techniques, processes and practises needed to create, produce, direct, film and participate in live and recorded broadcasting. The UCDSB CRM department and EON will be working on the initial planning stages of this agreement throughout the summer, with plans to create student-focused shows related to sports, high school life, hospitality programs, junior politics, talent, drama and more.

In addition, those interested in online print and photography will have the opportunity to create featured content on EasternOntarioNetwork.com. “This is at the very beginning stages, but it’s an exciting opportunity for the Upper Canada District School Board,” says David K. Thomas, UCDSB Director of Education. “This opportunity will drastically increase the number of events which can be shared with parents and community members, further increasing the board’s visibility around the world.” The agreement comes into effect September 2013.

MOVIE: White House Down STARRING: Channing Tatum, Jamie Fox, Joey King, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and James Woods DIRECTOR: Roland Emmerich RATING: PG Entertainment - I really enjoyed Die Hard 6… I mean White House Down. Okay so White House Down is basically Die Hard with a bit of Die Hard 3 thrown in, but Die Hard is one of my favourite movies, and Roland Emmerich did it well so I’m all right with it. The premise is simple. A group of highly trained mercenaries, pretending to be terrorists, infiltrate the White House and orchestrate a violent take over. On the surface it looks like an elaborate robbery, but in truth there’s something much more sinister happening. John Cale (Channing Tatum) is taking the tour with his daughter Emily (Joey King) when the White House gets attacked. John’s ex-military working as a guard for the Speaker of the House, and has aspirations of joining the secret service. So when John and Emily get separated he doesn’t

Company of Fools present ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’ July 11 at MERA English, French and Welsh all collide in this classic clash of cultures, combat of convention and battle of the sexes. Falstaff, a rascally rogue with a penchant for drink, women and mischief, arrives in the small town of Windsor to get up to no good. Underestimating the intellect of the middle class, he attempts to woo two married ladies at the same time, not realizing for a second that they are onto him. “The wives of Windsor are merry indeed as they use and abuse Falstaff for their own amusement – giving him hard-won lessons in matters of the heart (and maybe teaching their husbands a thing or two as well)! All set against the natural backdrop of MERA’s gardens, shaken and stirred with an Edwardian twist. This highly physical production promises to have audiences of all ages rolling in the aisles (or on

the lawn, rather).” To enjoy a full dinnerand-theatre evening, arrive at 5:30 p.m. for the farmers’ Mmarket supper with an à la carte menu of savories and sweets, cold drinks and barista service. We will send more details on the evening’s menu closer to the day of the performance. Bring your own plates and cutlery. Dinner service clos-

R0012185658_0704

EMC Entertainment – It’s officially an annual tradition. The McDonald’s Corners Farmers’ Market is hosting the Company of Fools at the MERA Schoolhouse on Thursday evening, July 11. This year’s Shakespearein-the-park production is ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’. You already know from the title that it’s a comedy, and with the Fools’ irreverent use of physical theatre techniques, you know it will be hilarious. The Company of Fools is an Ottawa-based troupe inspired by the rogue Elizabethan players that once entertained audiences outdoors and at the Globe theatre. Being Fools, they combine the classical text with clowning, masks and puppetry. The Fools summarize their approach to The Merry Wives like this: “Love and marriage, jealousy and revenge, men and women,
