One of the staff members, Sean McFadden, education and support coordinator, was recognized for his 10 years of service.

Perth resident set to hit the water for annual cancer society kayaking fundraiser By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca
EMC Events – Bruce Raby has turned his relaxing hobby of kayaking into a successful fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. In a few weeks, the Perth resident will kick off his second annual Kayaking to Beat Cancer fundraiser, by embarking on a five-day, 110-kilometre voyage along the Rideau Canal. From Aug. 10 to 14, he will paddle from Perth to Ottawa along the canal. While this is his second year making that trip, six years prior he kayaked from Kingston to Ottawa. “I’ve raised almost $25,000 over the years, which I feel pretty good about,” he noted during a recent interview. His reasons for organizing the fundraiser are simple: he enjoys being on the water in a kayak and cancer has touched his life. “Cancer has affected a lot of people in my family in particular in some way and I enjoy fundraising and meeting and talking to people. If I put that all together I can do something useful like raising money,” Raby explained. It is a “meaningful” initiative to him, he said. “...I don’t want to stop doing it. I do it because I can and I want to,” Raby commented. Accompanied by his son, Raby’s journey by kayak will set out from Perth at Last Duel Park on Aug. 10. He said he is planning for a five-day trip at the moment, but may finish it sooner “depending on where we end up on each day.” He hopes to travel about 40 kilometres a day, with overnight stops in Merrickville and possibly Smiths Falls and Manotick as well. “I started kayaking in 2005, but had been paddling a canoe
forever. Since taking up kayaking, I’ve paddled a canoe once since then,” Raby said. “It’s so pleasurable and easy to paddle a kayak. I enjoy sitting right on the water and gliding along. It’s an amazing feeling.” “This is an opportunity to do something that I love doing and at the same time do something that’s useful and help other people. It’s a win-win situation,” he added. This year, Raby noted that 100 per cent of the proceeds from the fundraiser will be going directly to the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. “The monies raised will stay in the community and be used to help individuals and families dealing with cancer,” he said. “That’s important. I like the idea and I think it’s important to some people.” The funds have been earmarked to assist with the cancer society’s transportation program, which provides rides for patients going to and from treatment appointments. Award The local cancer society believes what Raby is doing is important as well. So much so, that last month, fundraising coordinator Amanda Gifford and community office manager Leanne Waddell, presented him with the Community Partnerships Award. According to Waddell, the award is given to “individuals or groups who have held their own fundraising events for the Canadian Cancer Society.” She said individuals like Raby are “incredibly important” to continuing the cancer society’s work throughout the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville communities. “We literally would not be able to do things for the community if we didn’t have people
like him,” she noted, referencing the importance of the transportation program, which in the Perth area alone, serves 27 clients. “Last year, we gave 3,500 free rides to cancer-related appointments, just in our community. It’s a huge service we offer here and we also have local peer support programs,” Waddell added. Raby was humbled by the gesture as well. “I certainly never felt that I’ve done enough to merit such a thing, but it’s very nice,” he said of the award. “...I honestly really do appreciate it.” Fundraising events To raise additional funds for his Kayaking to Beat Cancer initiative, Raby will be making appearances at area grocery stores, where individuals can learn more about the fundraiser and make a donation. First up is this Saturday, July 20 at Steve’s Independent Grocer in Carleton Place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and then Aug.3 at Barnabe’s Independent Grocer in Perth from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. He is also collecting through coin boxes at LCBO stores in Smiths Falls, Merrickville, Kemptville and Manotick throughout the month of July. As an added incentive, all donations made of $20 or more will receive a ticket into a draw for one of Raby’s prints. He is also an amateur photographer. Raby also credits local businesses for their sponsorship, including Tackaberry Construction, Arnott Brothers Construction Ltd., Domicile Developments, and Hinton Dodge Chrysler. “It’s really rewarding when the organizations in the community are prepared to support the event as well,” he stated.

Shoreline landowners benefitting from shoreline evaluations across province in reporting on shoreline health. This can then be used to identify trends over time and across the province. Ultimately we will have more vibrant, healthier lakes.” The program has been well received by local lake associations with 17 participating in this the pilot year. More than 1,700 properties will be assessed and individual reports handed out to landowners this year alone. “Our hope is that this new information and newfound commitment on the part of land owners will translate to stewardship action on the ground,” states Barbara King, executive director of the Centre for Sustainable Water-
sheds. “We’ve been doing this program in eastern Ontario for decades with great results and now are excited to bring this method to other parts of the province.” If your lake association is interested in participating in this program or for more information on the Love Your Lake program, visit www.loveyourlake. ca or contact Lynn Preston, provincial co-ordinator at preston@watersheds.ca or 613-264-1244. Funding for this program is provided, in part, by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Submitted by the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds.
New Old Age Security option now available EMC News – Effective July 1, Canadian seniors can choose to delay receiving their Old Age Security (OAS) pension for up to five years, allowing them to receive a higher monthly amount in the future. The announcement was made by the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. “People today are taking many different paths to retirement, and some seniors are choosing to work longer,” said Minister Finley. “Canadians now have the option to voluntarily defer their OAS pension for up to five years in exchange for a higher monthly amount.”
As part of the 2012 budget, the government announced the new voluntary deferral option for the OAS, which will give more flexibility and choice in retirement planning to Canadians. The OAS is funded through general tax revenues and is indexed to the Consumer Price Index. It enhances the quality of life of Canadian seniors by providing a modest base upon which to build additional income for retirement. In 2012-2013, it provided 5.2 million seniors with an estimated $40.4 billion in benefits. For further information, visit the Service Canada website at www.servicecanada.gc.ca/oaschanges.

sive deterioration of the frontal lobe of the brain), at the age of 61. “I had been struggling for several years with confusion, both at home and in my secretarial job,” explained McKinlay. “I finally went to the doctor one morning when I could not remember how to put the denture back in my mouth.” Right away, the doctors started McKinlay on cholinesterase inhibitor Aricept. In addition, McKinlay had heard about memantine while visiting her friends in a chat room and consulted her doctor about this medication. With both medications, McKinlay is able to function better than she did. “Seven years later I’m still chatting to the same people about these two drugs,” she said. “Gone are the days of putting the bread in the garbage can instead of the breadbox or dumping the cup of flour in the sink, instead of the mixing bowl and I even remember how to put my dentures back in my mouth.” If she tries to do too much, her brain becomes foggy and she needs to slow down and do one task at a time with breaks in between. McKinlay is also sensitive to sound and uses headphones to block out noise. “My eyes have also become affected in that sometimes I have extreme sensitivity to light which
causes headaches,” she explained. “When this happens I use clip-on sunglasses on top of sunglasses or stay indoors and keep the curtains closed.” McKinlay also had issues with taking showers because of the sound of the water and the feeling of the spray hitting her skin. So with her ingenuity, she starting using earplugs to dim the noise and now enters the bathtub at the far end away from the showerhead and only exposes one part of the body to the water at a time. Once again, she enjoys her daily shower. “Others have said to me that they have trouble making decisions about things and I must agree,” the guest speaker noted. “The decision of what to wear each morning takes up a whole bunch of brain power. A simple solution I found is to have a few of my favourite outfits hanging at one end of my closet. Each ensemble is on a hanger. I’m ready to go in minutes and no decisionmaking.” McKinlay also has other suggestions relative to keeping the bathroom uncluttered, shopping, using a curling iron, brain breaks and taking medication. To find out more, go to www. jim-mary.com. This is a great resource as McKinlay shares her experiences in journals. “Make your life as simple as you can,” she recommended. “You can live well with the condition. Focus on what you can do.”

EMC News – The Love Your Lake program is in full swing across the province of Ontario, assessing shoreline health in five regions of Ontario. Love Your Lake is a joint venture of the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds (CSW) in eastern Ontario and the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) and is operating in partnership with the Lakeland Alliance of Peterborough Green Up, the City of Greater Sudbury, Muskoka Watershed Council and lake organizations in eastern Ontario. Working with local lake associations, the regional partners are conducting shoreline assessments from boats. The process involves looking at every property on the lake and offering up individualized reports to landowners suggesting ways in which they can improve their land management practices and help increase the health of their lake. Suggestions include planting more trees and shrubs by the shore, the so-called “ribbon of life,” which has huge impacts on improving the quality of the water, the habitat for fish and wildlife and property values. So does maintaining a healthy septic system, not using fertilizers or pesticides and using nature friendly products. “We’re very excited about this program,” says David Browne, program manager at CWF, “all participating regions of the province are now using the same method to assess shorelines and provide advice to landowners. This will ensure continuity and uniformity

This year is beginning of great things for Perth’s Studio Theatre EMC Entertainment – Many people consider the number thirteen unlucky. That’s why high-rise buildings have no 13th floor, why people fear Friday the 13th, and why many will breathe a sigh of relief when the year 2013 passes uneventfully. But for Studio Theatre in Perth, the year 2013 is the beginning of great things. First, they are offering a spectacular season of plays with something for everyone. The opening production in September is a perennial favourite, a comedy by Norm Foster. Old Love is a challenging play in which ten characters are played by only four actors. Foster at his best, making us laugh one minute, then reflect on life the next. In October, the company will host an Evening of One-Act Plays featuring Studio Theatre’s own entry into the Eastern Ontario Drama League’s One-Act Play Festival (EODL). The festival is an event which this group has hosted twice it joined the EODL in 2009, and in which they have won awards each year. As has become the custom, this year they will host an evening of oneact plays at Studio Theatre, featuring their festival entry, For the Death of Me by Norm Foster, directed by Barb Guthrie. (In case you think Foster’s plays are just fluff, his play Looking won the Theatre Ontario Full Length Play Festival in Kingston this past year). For the Death of Me will be accompanied by another one-act play from a guest company. This is still in the works so watch the Studio Theatre website for details. In December, a treat for everyone

with The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose, an English pantomime by Norman Robbins. This ever-popular theatrical tradition is full of heroes and villains, music and laughter. A great way to celebrate the Christmas season with the whole family – fun for the kids and just a little bit naughty for the grownups. Then in February, Jeremy Dutton brings us the challenging drama that carries both superb comedy and powerful emotion. Leaving Home by David French, is a truly Canadian story about the Mercers, a Newfoundland family who have settled in Toronto. This will be followed in April by the blockbuster Lion in Winter by James Goldman, directed by Kathy Reid. This Broadway hit went on to become an Academy Award winning movie with Peter O’Toole and Katherine Hepburn. And finally, to end the season with a musical bang, Little Women – The Musical based on the beloved novel of Louisa May Alcott with Music by Jason Howland and Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein. It will be directed by C. Lee Bates who brought Studio Theatre’s first musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, to the stage last year. Another story to appeal to the young and the young at heart. But the icing on the cake for this fabulous season of live entertainment is that all of these plays can now be enjoyed by everyone! After many fundraising events, many grant applications and generous donations from patrons, the construction is

CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF HELPING OUR COMMUNITY THE EMC - 6 - Thursday, July 18, 2013
REGIONAL NEWS From page 4
Having raised a total of $7,000 along with a fellow paddler who made the trek with him, Raby said he’s aiming to bring in $4,000 through this year’s event. He gets immense pleasure from meeting people along the way. “If I see someone close to the water, I’ll paddle over and ask for a donation. I love doing that and I probably raised close to $500 on the water between Perth and Ottawa,” he stated. “People will hand you $20 bills or so and it’s amazing that they do that.” One story of generosity, in particular, is something that will always stick with him. “A few years ago when I was in Kars near Manotick and an older gentleman was sitting by a rickety old dock in front of a small cottage. I approached him and explained what I was doing and he reaches in his pocket and pulls out a $100 bill and handed it to me,” Raby said. “I don’t know if he saw the shocked look on my face and I asked him if
he needed change, but he said no, that he was feeling pretty flush that day. I’ll never forget that, that kind of generosity...” Raby has lock passes for 15 boats and anyone who wishes to paddle along with him on the trek. “They can certainly get in touch with me and are more than welcome to paddle,” he said. “They must be reasonably experienced paddlers and have their own boat.” Over the next few weeks, Raby said he will be getting out on the water to prepare for the fundraiser and said it’s a rewarding experience he hopes to continue into the future. “I’m tired at the end, but it’s an incredible feeling of satisfaction when you’re done knowing that in a small way you’re helping people and that’s important to me,” he remarked.

How to celebrate food…from field to table EMC Lifestyle – In Lanark, Leeds and Grenville there are many opportunities to celebrate local, healthy and nutritious foods. You can begin by visiting your local farmers’ markets and community gardens where local fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs can be found. Talking to the farmers will help you learn which foods grow well in our areas and how they are grown. Many grocery stores also carry local foods. At Rideau Valley Diabetes Services we offer free grocery store tours that explore foods and food labels in local grocery stores. Learning to read labels will help you prepare nutritious meals
for you and your family. You can also plant your own garden or grow smaller vegetables in pots at home. When it comes time to cook, make sure to use healthier methods such as broiling, baking, and steaming. If cooking has become a chore or you would like to take your skills to another level, consider some new cookbooks from your local library or go to www.dietitians. ca/eatwell for new recipe ideas. Another option is to attend a cooking class in your community. For people with Diabetes or Prediabetes, Rideau Valley Diabetes Services hosts cooking groups monthly in Smiths Falls and Brockville. You can register
Community Health Centre (2 Gould St.) or call 613-283-1952.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Local MPP fed up with Hydro One monopoly DEAR EDITOR: You know something is wrong with Hydro One when more than half of the calls that come into my offices in Perth, Carleton Place, Napanee and Toronto are about the poor quality of service at Hydro One. I receive more calls from people with hydro problems than I do from people who have issues with all of the rest of the Ontario government, of all its ministries and of its more than 600 agencies, boards and commissions. The number one complaint I hear from residents since the Liberals’ Green Energy Act and its cousin the time of use smart meters, is that people have seen their hydro costs double or triple practically overnight. It is simply not believable that so many people increased their electricity usage that much. Unfortunately, there is no way for anyone to check whether they really have or have not used that much electricity. Unlike with the old meters, where you could go out and check your hydro usage to verify whether your Hydro One’s actual or estimated bills were correct,
you can’t with the new time of use meters. Instead, you must pay whatever arbitrary amount Hydro One bills you. Many people often criticize banks for their customer service. However, can you imagine a bank that wouldn’t give you proof of all of your withdrawal, deposit or payment transactions? Would you willingly be a customer of a bank that prevented ATMs or tellers from providing receipts, and sent you instead only a monthly account balance that could not be independently verified? First off, it would be unlawful for any bank or other business to not issue receipts on request and you probably would find another bank, or even file a lawsuit. But, one thing is for certain, you wouldn’t remain a customer. Unlike most other businesses, Hydro One is a monstrous monopoly and does not need to prove its customer billings to you, the customer. Hydro One customers have no way of verifying See LETTER page 9
COMMENTARY
Surviving summer vacation EMC Editorial – Just a couple of weeks into summer break and many families are planning or about to embark on their vacation getaway. Whether sticking close to home or travelling across the country (or the world), there are many challenges to vacationing with the little ones. Preparation is key. Map out a schedule and stick to it. By doing this, children will thrive in their routine. Plan your child’s naptime during the commute to your destination. Make sure to pack light, bringing only the essentials with you. Being laden with luggage while trying to pass through airport security with two cranky children in tow is no one’s idea of paradise. Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) recommends doing some research if you’re venturing across the border. Have appropriate identification on hand, receipts and documentation, and be sure to read the rules on what products (alcohol, tobacco) can be brought back into the country. Certain goods such as plants, weapons and animal products are also prohibited. Plan your own vacation and try to avoid popular tourist destinations. Most kids of a young age aren’t apt to remember touring Times Square or taking a trip to Paris to see the Eiffel tower. Save those types of vacations for when they’re a bit older and can appreciate seeing the sights. Instead, opt for activities such as camping, amusement parks or shorter road trips. This gives children a chance to relax with a hike or a swim and have some down time when they (and parents) need it. Visit the CBSA website (www.cbsa.gc.ca) to become versed on border regulations.
Tramps were transient back in Depression years EMC Lifestyle – Father was sure there was a hidden sign nailed to a tree, only visible to the countless tramps who rode the rails that said, “jump here... good food up the hill.” Deep in the heart of the Depression years, almost as if they were put there to remind us there was someone in worse shape than we were, tramps walked the back roads, rode the freight trains, and survived by begging for their next meal. Countless numbers found their way to our kitchen door, always around dinner time, looking for something to eat. They frightened me, although Father said they were harmless, and I was glad that if they did surface at night, we never saw them. My brothers were sure they often came up over the West Hill and slept in the barn where they were warm and away from the outdoor elements. They seemed to know, on the farm, the big meal was at the noon hour. They also seemed to know when the family was all seated at the table, because that was when we would hear the gentle knock on the door. They never had to ask for something to eat. We knew why they were there.
Mother would look them over, and if they were clean, having taken a wash in the Bonnechere River before coming up the hill, they were invited in. If they looked like they needed a hand-scrub, Mother would take out a wash basin of warm soapy water, put it on the back stoop and tell them to come in when they had washed up. The brothers would squeeze together on the bench and make room for the tramp, and Mother would laden a plate full of food, and I would watch mesmerized as the food vanished as if they hadn’t eaten in days, and there was a good chance they hadn’t. Father would try to make conversation. But the tramps said little. And we five children clammed up as if we had lost our tongues. I wanted to know where they had come from, and how they had become tramps, but of course, I too sat mute while the food disappeared. As quickly as they came, they spent just enough time to cram in their heaping plates of food, and then they stood and were ready to head out again. Mother would tell them to sit a spell, and we always knew what she was going to do, Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

because it never varied all the time we lived through those Depression years. She would take a brown paper bag off the rack at the back door. Then she would go to the bake table and make thick sandwiches of whatever meat we had had for dinner. Always she would tuck in cookies or a big piece of pie, and then she would go to the ice box and with the ice pick chip off big slivers of ice and put them into a glass jar that at one time held pickles or preserves, and fill it with cold water from the granite pail. Often I would see the tramp wipe his eyes with the back of his hand, as he thanked Mother and tucked the bulging paper bag into the sack he carried on the end of a short pole resting on his shoulder.

had come, out the back door and down the hill, making his way to the railroad tracks. I knew he would be waiting until the next freight train rounded the corner at the very back of the farm. It would slow down to handle the curve in the track, and Father said this was where they would jump on the train and go off to goodness knows where. We never saw the same tramp twice. And they came in all shapes and sizes, and all ages. Some of them, I thought, were no more than boys...young like my three brothers. And I would wonder why they were tramps, and my brothers weren’t. And then one day I learned at least a partial answer to that question. The young tramp that rapped on our kitchen door that day was whip thin, and as clean as a whistle. His hair was coal-black, and slicked down, showing that he had taken more than a quick wash in the river. Just as he finished tucking into his second piece of pie he asked Father for a job. He talked more than any other tramp we had ever fed. He was what was called a “home boy”. He came from England as a 12-year-old, he said, from an orphanADVERTISING 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
age. He was sent to a farm in the Ottawa Valley, where he suffered from abuse and endless hours of labour. Father told him there was no money for a hired man, and besides we had three strapping boys to do the chores. But the tramp persevered. He told Father if he could sleep in the barn, and have three meals a day, and a Flat-Fifty of cigarettes every Saturday night, he would work for nothing. And that was how one of those tramps who rode the rails and depended on the generosity of others, became our hired man. He really became a member of the family, and I would often see Father slip the man, who was really a boy, a dollar when he could spare it. The tramps were a symbol of that era. We knew not where they had come from, or where they were going. It mattered little what time of year it was...winter or summer, almost daily we could count on seeing a tramp coming up over the West Hill. And they were never turned away. They came hungry, and they left with full bellies and enough food to take them to the next stop on their endless journey. • 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.

whether or not they used the electricity, or the time of day it was used with time of use smart meters, and neither does Hydro One. No one can double check whether his or her actual or estimated bills are either accurate, or even close. I have also seen on many occasions where Hydro One provides only estimated bills for up to a year, causing huge burdens and catch up bills for many. And if you refuse to pay, you could be literally left out in the cold. That’s what you get from a monopoly: worsening customer service, increased costs and less accountability. To be fair, Hydro One’s customer service isn’t entirely its own fault; many of their failings are due to the fact they have to force you to pay for the failure of the Ontario Green Energy Act. When the Liberals introduced the Green Energy Act in 2009, I warned Ontario’s Legislature that the only way the Liberals
could pay for their plan to pick winners, was by most everyone else becoming losers. The only way we could pay for over-priced electricity from wind turbines on beautiful Amherst Island, or solar panels in Lanark County would be by gouging every other person in this province. It’s sad to realize that every time the sun shines or the winds blow in Ontario each of us gets soaked with another big unverified electricity bill. All while knowing that Hydro One has shut down our low-cost electricity generators such as hydro and nuclear, and is paying our neighbouring provinces and states to take our “green energy” off our hands. We obviously need more competition and more choice for Hydro One customers and fewer politicians insisting on dumb smart meters and even dumber “green economics.”

opportunity to apply for the CIBC Youthvision Scholarship. The scholarship involves three partner agencies, CIBC, YMCA and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. This year, we are beyond thrilled to announce that one of our Littles, Rayna, has won the scholarship. Rayna is one of only 33 students across Canada that were selected for the scholar-
ship and she is BBBS of Lanark County’s first recipient. We couldn’t be more proud. The scholarship begins in Grade 10 and follows the recipient through their postsecondary years, up to a maximum of six years. The scholarship focuses on educational success, community engagement and mentorship. Rayna’s Big Sister, Elizabeth, has
agreed to stay on with Rayna throughout her years in high school and university to offer her the support and mentoring that a Big Sister often gives. As the recipient of the scholarship, Rayna will be eligible for a summer internship each year and her tuition will be paid for by CIBC. We See BBBS page 19

What consumers need to know about moving into storage EMC News – Canadians-on-themove often need storage to fit their lifestyle choices. Folks should contract with a company that is reputable and that offers physical safety for their stored household effects. Ensuring that your goods are protected in advance is much easier than trying to make a claim afterwards. Here’s what you need to know as you search for storage space. Make sure you completely understand the services that a moving and/or storage company is offering you, your responsibilities, the financial liability of the company in case of damage to or loss of your goods, the security of the storage space and your ability to access your goods while they are in storage.
Remember that if you intend to move into a mini-storage facility, the facility is only responsible to you for the rental of the space, and takes no responsibility for the contents of that space. Ask about any additional charges. There may be a non-recurring warehouse wrapping and handling charge. Make sure you have a complete list of the articles that are going to be stored. You may have to compare your listing with the warehouse listing to get an explanation of your storage charges. The monthly storage rate is based on either the volume or weight of containers, or a combination of the two. The company may also have a minimum charge for storage. You will pay more for large, bulky items or ones with an unusual size
this week in
or shape. You will also pay more if you pack your cartons poorly. Always visit the storage facility to see if it is clean, dry and rodent-free. Enquire about climate control. Check out their security system. Check to see how property is stored. Sofas and other large upholstered items should be wrapped with protective materials. Finished furniture should be wrapped. Rugs should be mothproofed, wrapped and placed onto racks. Mattresses, mirrors, pictures and other large, fragile items should also be wrapped. Refrigerators and freezers should be serviced. You may need to remove some items from storage early. Identify these items at the outset so the warehouse can place
them into an easily-accessible spot as the goods are being moved in. It is recommended that consumers who place household goods into storage should purchase depository insurance. For full protection, insure your goods to value and, for this protection, you will pay a monthly premium with the storage charges. If the goods are not insured to full value, you will suffer a penalty in the event of a loss. Regardless, the storage company will not accept responsibility for fragile articles that you pack yourself. The storage company also will not accept responsibility for the mechanical, electrical or electronic functions of pianos, radios, clocks, refrigerators, television and stereo sets, etc. Neither will the com-
pany accept responsibility for articles in drawers, trunks, cases, etc., nor for loss or damage from any other cause, unless depository insurance is purchased. Contact the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) for assistance in finding an ethical moving and storage company who will provide professional moving and storage services – a mover that subscribes to CAM’s code of ethics, meets CAM’s business standards and commits to mediation in the unlikely event of a dispute. Your best protection in reducing your risk to your worldly possessions is to hire a reputable company at the outset. For more information, visit the Canadian Association of Movers online at www.mover.net.

ELGIN DAYS

EMC Events – Elgin Days was a huge success over the weekend with lots of activities for kids of all ages. The bouncy castle was one of the popular stops along the way.
Camden Black feeds the goat some grass, above. Below, Christopher McAllister and Cameron Deed check out the bunnies.
Diane Warren and Carol Haapala of the Elgin Lions Club sell tickets under the shade of umbrellas, but it didn’t do much against the heat of the weekend. Below, Ava and Emma Clark feed the goats.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Invisibleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brain injury can happen at any time EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It can happen in the blink of an eye. To children. To parents. To you. To me. June marked National Brain Injury Awareness month. But brain injury is a hard thing to explain to people who have never gone through it, because brain injury is something we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see. Susan Saucier has been an integral part of Regional Community Brain Injury Services, an arm of Providence Care St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the Lake Hospital in Kingston, for nearly 20 years. She set up the Brockville office and began outreach services in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville.

The event will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. and is free. Transportation is to be provided by Bigs or parents. A reminder will go out to matches and families closer to the date for the RSVP deadline. Our group activities are a great way to get out and meet other matches and catch a glimpse of the big picture. Volunteer opportunities
â&#x20AC;&#x153;An acquired brain injury is defined as damage to the brain,â&#x20AC;? she says, quoting from their Strategies Handbook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It occurs after birth and is not related to a birth disorder or a progressive disease (such as Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease or multiple sclerosis). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The injury (can) be caused by a violent movement of the head (resulting from a motor vehicle crash, a fall, an assault, a sports injury, etc.); or it (can) be due to a non-traumatic cause such as stroke, tumor, aneurysm rupture, anoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain), or infection (encephalitis). â&#x20AC;&#x153;An acquired brain injury can have multiple effects, including physical, communication, thinking, behavioural
and emotional difficulties.â&#x20AC;? For each person with a brain injury, there are families and friends whose lives will never be the same again. On the third Monday of each month, Saucier leads a brain injury caregiversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; support group in Brockville, where she is reminded of the toll brain injury takes on loved ones. Some of the caregivers have spouses who have suffered debilitating strokes. Some are parents whose children struggle with brain injury because of accidents. Some are relatives of people whose brains were hurt because of disease. One mother in the support group says she wishes people would be more sensi-

tive to her son, who seems all right on the surface but who, because of the way his brain is injured, is vulnerable to abuse or manipulation every day of his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take ordinary things for granted,â&#x20AC;? Saucier says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A simple question such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How are you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; can confuse a brain-injured person if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a phrase you just toss off without caring about the answer.â&#x20AC;? What can we do? Read. Learn. Speak to families of brain-injured people. Ask them how it feels to be suddenly living with a person who is no longer the same as he or she once was. Ask how to help in simple ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing is,â&#x20AC;? says Saucier, â&#x20AC;&#x153;brain injury can happen to any of us at any time.â&#x20AC;?

Do you know what your kids are doing this summer?
BY JEFF MAGUIRE
children. When other moms in the neighbourhood had commitments (appointments, shopping etc.) my mother would often mind the kids next door. Moms took turns so they could do what was necessary outside the home. Today circumstances are very different. The nuclear family is much less prominent and the demands on single parents, who are becoming more and more common, are understandably increased. Those parents who are together are usually part of a dual income situation, something which is vital to pay the bills. Depending on finances parents and guardians have options today. There are summer camps and other similar programs where they can enroll their children, for a price, and know they are in good hands while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working. Lack of supervision What about those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford such opportunities however? It is those children I will refer to in this article. So called â&#x20AC;&#x153;latch-key kidsâ&#x20AC;? are a modern reality which causes me concern. In many cases children, some of them very young, are being left to their own devices year-round while their parents or guardians are at work or out for the evening. I am a daily walker and that offers me a window into the human condition. This summer I have been seeing things first-hand that is very worrisome. I realize you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t protect people from themselves. On the other hand children under the age of consent should be properly supervised. They should also be receiving good advice when it comes to their personal safety. I believe our community is a mi-
ing bicycles these days arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wearing a helmet. Clearly the issues that arise when young people are left unsupervised for long periods of time go well beyond personal safety. There are numerous community issues, including vandalism, that spring from this situation. In closing I will pose this question to parents and guardians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you know what your kids are doing this summer?â&#x20AC;? Do you know where they are right now? More to the point, do the parents I am referring to care? If they did presumably they would do a better job of monitoring their young charges or ensuring they are properly advised and reasonably well cared for by others. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rocket science is it! When I was young most parents were far more careful about monitoring their children and putting reasonable restrictions in place which we were expected to adhere to. There were some rules to follow in other words. Sadly that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case in far too many homes today. Somebody has to be in charge and in my world that is down to parents and guardians. I believe adults should be held re-

Reflections
crocosm of centres across Ontario and Canada. Therefore the issues I will now refer to are problems in every community because parental/ adult supervision is either lacking or non-existent. This has been an incredibly wet summer and rivers and lakes across southern Ontario are at all-time highs. We have lived in Carleton Place for 37 years. In that time I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall the Mississippi River being so high and fast flowing in July. Yet every day I see children playing beside the surging river or, worse yet, jumping into the Mississippi to swim at the worst possible locations. I was so worried by what I saw last week that I went to the local Ontario Provincial Police detachment to express my concern. The OPP said they have received many similar complaints. But every time they chase the kids away, they return. An officer was immediately dispatched to act on the information I provided. But obviously the police canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be minding children 24/7. Oh yes, the age of the children involved? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m referring to kids between 10 to 14-years-old. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just the danger of drowning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is very real right now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that concerns me. Our town is generally safe. But I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but think that young girls and boys left unsupervised could easily become a target for predators. Sadly, that possibility is a fact of life in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world as we are all very aware. Well, most of us are aware. Clearly some parents havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten the message. Because many children are being allowed to roam the streets unsupervised at all hours of the day and night. The safety issues I see every day go beyond swimming of course. Another example is the number of small children who ride bicycles without helmets today. I see this happening everywhere. There has been a helmet law in Ontario since 1995. It applies to anyone under the age of 18. The fine for non-compliance is $75 according to the information I found on-line. And yet three of every four kids I see rid-

EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The dog days of summer are upon us. The time when temperatures soar, humidity rises and with the new school year still weeks away, the period when many children are looking for things to do, unless family vacation intervenes. This is nothing new. Kids and summer go together like strawberries and ice cream. It was the same when I was a youngster. As the school year dragged on we longed for summer and the freedom to do what we wanted to do for a couple of months. Growing up on the family farm near Stittsville summer didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly work out that way for my brother and two sisters. There was work to do, specifically helping with haying and doing the chores that are a daily reality on a farm. Still, we managed to squeeze in some R&R and earlier in our youth, before my parents purchased the farm, we enjoyed the leisurely pursuits which, to this day, continue to be a part of every summer for school age children. Kids who are too young to have a summer job or who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have home chores to do (a large number based on my observations) often find that the months of July and August can be excruciatingly boring. The allure of summer wears off quickly when you have nothing to do. The differences between my youth and the world the children of today inhabit are considerable of course. But boredom is a universal issue and despite all of the electronic gadgetry of the new millennium, it is clear to me young people today also have trouble finding enough to keep them occupied during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.â&#x20AC;? In my youth circumstances for children were very different. In the more gentle times of the 1950s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s the majority of kids were part of a traditional (nuclear) family. In most cases dad worked every day to bring home the bacon. Mom was most likely a homemaker who, besides the considerable amount of work that goes with running a household seven days a week, was also the supervisor for her own

Perth native nominated to be U.S. envoy to Singapore By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – A Perth native has been nominated by U.S. President Barack Obama to be America’s next ambassador to Singapore. Obama announced Wagar’s nomination on June 27. Wagar’s parents, Donna and Bert, have lived in Perth since 1969, and he was educated at Queen Elizabeth School and later Perth and District Collegiate Institute. He later studied at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, New York, before continuing his studies at the University of Miami’s law school, where he also played on the university rugby team. Wagar is married to Crystal, and he has two children, Sarah, 24, who lives in Canada, and Declan, 7. “He’ll always be the boy with the cap on backwards (to me),” said his mother Donna during an interview last week. “He has done something with his life that he wanted to do. I’m very proud of him.” In a White House press office statement, Obama was quoted as saying about Wagar, and others nominated for similar diplomatic posts that month, that, “I am grateful that these impressive individuals have chosen to dedicate their talents to serving the American people at this important time for our country. I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead.” Wagar, 44, who now runs his own Miami-based law firm, Wagar Law, still has to run the bureaucratic gauntlet in Washington, D.C. In the coming weeks, he faces a grilling before the U.S. Senate’s foreign relations committee, before his nomination is voted on by the whole Senate. Wagar has been preparing for his confirmation hearings in the American capital, off and on, since June. “It’s so hard to visualize him

He had been asked several weeks before.” Wagar’s association with Obama goes back to 2008 when he served as the Florida finance chair for the Obama presidential

Florida deputy state finance chair. That same year, he became an American citizen. At the Wagar family home in Perth, the support for Obama is also evident, with a photo of the president and Kirk hanging up on the wall – as well as a golf ball
Kirk gave to Bert one Christmas, signed by the Commander-inChief himself. The confirmation process could take until early August, and while she knows that her son will be busy in the bustling Asian island city-state, “I’d like to go.
We’ve seen the place where they are going to live. I wouldn’t call it stately. It looks eastern.” Wagar’s birthday was last Saturday, July 13, and as the interview ended, Donna reminded herself that, “Yes, I have to phone him. It’s hard to get him.”

Splash pad waters could be flowing at Conlon Farm by Labour Day By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Perth’s new splash pad could be up and sprinkling by Labour Day. Provincial funding for the splash pad arrived late last week, spurring the town to approve the next phase of construction at a special town council meeting on Friday, July 12. The news that the Ontario Trillium Foundation would be contributing $120,000 towards the project arrived in the mail at town hall that morning. The Township of Drummond/North Elmsley has also signed on to contribute $25,000 towards the splash pad, and the Perth and District Community Foundation also donating $2,000 towards the project. Local community fundraisers – as of July 9 – have kicked in about $34,929.81, plus a just-announced $650 from Perth’s Toronto Dominion bank and about $300 from St. John Catholic High School. About $38,317.75 will be drawn from the town’s Parkland Reserve Fund as well. The town had applied for four grants. The estimated costs of the splash pad are about $198,000, with about $220,247 raised from various sources. “We are over, but we are also factoring in contingency funds,” said Mayor John Fenik. “I will also be approaching Tay Valley Township for a contribution too. I think the valley kids will come to the splash pad too… It makes sense that they can contribute to the infrastructure cost.”
Council also heard that a sod turning ceremony and ribbon cutting will be held at the end of the month, with officials of the Trillium Foundation and MPP Randy Hillier in attendance. “All of council wants to get this thing under way,” said Fenik. “Let’s get this thing constructed, get it done, so that our kids will get cool.” If there is any money left over, Fenik stated that he believed it would be put back into reserves. Back on trying to get a contribution from Tay Valley Township, Coun. Judy Brown noted that, with the fundraising, “many of the contributions came from Tay Valley. I think that may be of interest to them, to let them (township council) know that their people are interested,” in the splash pad. “The phase one aspect has already begun… with loads and loads of sand being removed,” said Shellee Evans, the town’s director of community services. As for an early September start, during the last weekend of summer vacation, Evans reported to council that, in conversation with the contractors, “they said they would do their best. We are aiming for Labour Day.” Council also voted to grant the phase two tender for the project to Water Splash Inc. at a price of $133,730. Play by Crozier had the highest bid at $179,662, with ABC Recreation Inc. the second highest at $160,954.58, with Playground Planners rounding out the quartet at $154,939.64.

Garlic Festival gears up By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
News – For the past 15 years, garlic has been permeating the air around Perth and people travel for miles to get some of the best. This year’s 16th annual Perth Lions Garlic Festival is slated for Aug. 10 and 11 at the Perth Fairgrounds and already, vendor spots are filling up – and fast. “We have room for about 10 more,” says Jerry Sawdon, who says this will be his last year if it rains. He’s been saying that though, since the beginning. “I am going to run away if it rains,” he says, laughing. “This will be my last year if that happens.” He’s been spearheading the organizing and public relations end of things since the get-go, but he loves it, he says. He is not a grower of garlic himself, but a lover of the cloves. “I love it on just about anything,” he says. “Except toast.” He laughs again and adds that it’s time to replenish his own personal crop, which can last up to a year if it’s stored in a brown paper bag and tucked away in a dry, dark space. Sawdon says those wanting to become vendors have been calling steadily. “We are pushing 70 now,” he says. “That number is easy to handle. But we can go a bit more.” He adds that people make a mad dash to town that weekend from all over. “We love garlic. So many people eat, breathe, and smell like it,” he says. Many come just to buy it and get out;
but many more stay a while and enjoy the day, or the weekend in town. Some of the popular attractions – besides the growers who come from as far away as western Ontario – are returning for another year. Birds of prey show is a big attraction as are garlic bread samplings and the silent art auction. Musical entertainment and on-site cooking demos by various restaurant employees are also popular treats on the menu. Sawdon says that the festival has made close to $225,000 and is the Lions Club’s biggest fundraiser. Money goes back to the community in the form of bursaries, hospitals, Lions International (for eyeglasses) and many other local charities. The festival started in 1997 with a group of individuals who decided to host some festivities. It’s become one of the most anticipated community festivals in eastern Ontario. From their website: “Held every August, the Perth Garlic Festival is a celebration to the ‘stinking rose’. The warm August air of Ontario’s prettiest town is scented with the pungent aroma of garlic while thousands of ‘garlic heads’ revel in the many attributes of this wonderful herb.” This volunteer-driven festival is sure to please all members of the family. For more information visit www. perthgarlicfestival.com or call Sawdon 613-267-7471 to book a vendor spot. “If you want some of the best garlic you will ever eat,” says Sawdon, “people don’t miss the Perth festival.”

Habitat for Humanity house build likely to start this fall Applications being accepted for Perth and Carleton Place residents seeking interest-free mortgage By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Algonquin College may be partnering with Habitat for Humanity to get its construction students busy working on Perth’s first Habitat Home as early as this September. “They are still at the negotiating stage,” cautioned Sandy Grey, social housing manager at Lanark County, during an interview on Thursday, July 11, of a meeting that took place the week before between Habitat, the college, the Town of Perth and the county. “We are crossing our fingers that all the ducks line up.” Already, the clock is ticking, even before construction students return to the Perth campus this fall. Habitat is already accepting applications in Perth and Carleton Place to aid working poor families who need help with an interest-free mortgage home. There is a planned second Habitat House for Carleton Place as well. “The earlier a family is selected, the better it is that it (the house) can be customized,” said Grey of the July 31 deadline. “They are looking at Halton Street, the old public works yard. That’s a great fit as well.” The yard is home to another project by Algonquin students, the Olympic House. Grey was in attendance at the meeting “from the social services side,” since there are 420 people on the housing wait list across the county, but she is hopeful that a new Habitat House in Perth will start a domino effect that can only help the needy.
“Once you have one success, it just leads to more success,” said Grey. “We hope that it reaches the right families. It helps the families who often don’t get help,” specifically, the working poor, who may not be able to qualify for mortgages under the new rules. “Social services can’t do much for them,” said Grey. She is hopeful that a deal can be reached soon. “If they (the college) don’t get a commitment for a build, they will have to look elsewhere,” said Grey, so that their students can have a project to work towards this coming semester. Qualifications To qualify for the interest-free mortgage, one must: • view the online housing information video at habitatncr.com • have a total family income, before taxes, between $42,988 and $64,454, • be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident (landed immigrant), • be living somewhere that doesn’t meet one’s family needs, • be steadily employed, but cannot afford or cannot obtain a conventional mortgage, • be ready to contribute 500 hours of sweat equity to help build one’s own home and participate in other Habitat projects. The sweat equity hours must also be completed before the partner family takes possession of their

New wine in old bottles for cabinet? Editorial – One of the best quotes about Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet shuffle on Monday came not from the usual political pundits on Parliament Hill, but unintentionally from Canadian movie director Ivan Reitman. The Kindergarten Cop director, in a conversation with Maclean’s magazine, was asked about the long awaited Ghostbusters III. Interviewer Brian D. Johnson asked, “If they can reboot Star Trek, there’s no reason you can’t reboot Ghostbusters.” To this, Toronto-raised Reitman replied, “We’re not talking about rebooting it, because the original works just fine. It’s about whether there’s a whole other story to tell.” And therein lies the problem for Harper. Harper is planning another prorogation and a Throne Speech this fall. We’ve been down this road before – in fact, the prorogations are getting hard to discern from each other these days. Back in 2010, Harper said he needed to “recalibrate” his government with a prorogation. Now he faces a different situation. Now he has his longed-for majority government. But does he want to simply reboot his government, or start telling a new story? Maybe a little more fiscal sanity, a little less going for the jugular. Maybe acting more like the adults are in charge, than ordering Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) interns to heckle Liberal leader Justin Trudeau or run ads with Trudeau taking his shirt off. Is this really the best use of their time? Already, the morning after the shuffle, came word from Global News that a “friend and enemy stakeholder” list was included in the briefing books for new ministers. This is by no means the equivalent of Richard Nixon’s “enemies list,” but it is not common, and certainly somewhat creepy, to officially list someone as, essentially, an enemy of the state: but then, this is a government which has, essentially, blacklisted environmental groups.
Certainly, some common courtesy – “Oh, make sure you steer clear of Bob in accounting, he really has a bad attitude,” – may save a new minister some headaches, but this is taking it too far. But it certainly seems to feed into the attitude that the faces may have changed, but the story remains the same, just as the cast of Saturday Night Live changes every few years, but the basic premise remains the same – musical guest, cold opening, celebrity guest’s opening monologue, Weekend Update, and one-joke sketches that seem to go on forever, and characters with catchphrases being groomed for the inevitable movie. And just as Lorne Michaels is, and always will lead the show on air from 30 Rockefeller Center, so too does Harper fill the same role from 24 Sussex Drive. It is also very encouraging to see that Harper has appointed more women, and younger women at that, to cabinet. But let’s be honest. Male or female, visible minority or not, the composition doesn’t matter so much as it does that they are all singing from the same hymn book, so to speak. All governments adhere to cabinet solidarity – at least in public – and cabinet secrecy, but as last week’s editorial cartoon made abundantly clear, the direction, the talking points, everything, begins and ends with Harper. Ministers serve at his pleasure, and he believes that he is the only indispensible member of his government. Things will get interesting now in terms of how backbenchers will react to this news. Many are now stewing in their offices, burning and seething in the knowledge that they did not make it into cabinet this time and, in all likelihood, will never make it into cabinet at this rate.

scope of Lac-Mégantic? Probably not. Dangerous materials are transported by rail. Take a look at the symbols on the tank cars next time you’re stopped at a crossing. You probably don’t want to know STEPHANIE GRAY the types of things that are going through our town – past our schools, hospital, long-term care homes, through subdivisions. Or maybe you do want to know. Whether you know what’s in there or not, the simple fact is a serious derailment would not be a good thing. One night last week, when it was cool enough to throw open the windows, a couple of trains went through. As the horns blew I stopped what I was doing and listened. I’ve always loved trains. When I was a rebellious teen working at Burger King, the tracks were directly behind the restaurant and I used to imagine hopping aboard a slow-moving westbound freight and riding the rails to the prairies. (What I would have done when I got there I’m not exactly sure.) Anyway, for me, the sound of the train horn is all wrapped up in romantic visions of travel and Canadian history. It was the railway that brought much of Canada together, after all. As I listened that night to the train horn it still seemed as iconic as the call of the loon, and just as mournful. Now it also sounds like danger. That’s the whole point, I suppose. Train horns are a warning: “Clear the way! Big, heavy machine coming!” It just seems even more poignant now, especially as you sit at a crossing and see the same type of black tank cars flying through town that crashed and exploded at Lac-Mégantic. What is the answer? I don’t know, but my thoughts are with Lac-Mégantic every time I hear the trains.

Transition Perth Veggie Garden Tour slated for Saturday, July 27 gardens, a children’s garden, small market gardens, an eco-housing community and an ecovillage. The garden hosts include: PerthWorks, Just Christine’s Garden, The Table Community Food Centre, Agapé Gardens, Beckwith Gardens, Lanark Ecovillage, Bob and Parmatma’s Garden, Bonita and Sebastien’s Garden, Hollyhock Grange, and McIntyre Creek Farm. Everyone is invited to join in for a potluck at noon. Come enjoy some delicious food, meet friends and neighbours, and share some lively conversation. Meet up with others to carpool, or visit the gardens on your own. Folks are asked to bring food to share, as well as a plate and utensils. Transition Perth hosted its first veggie garden tour in 2011. This brought a new flavour to other local tours and was met with much interest and enthusiasm from the com-
munity. Last year’s event included a garden that was designed using permaculture (ecological principles from nature). Due to a growing interest in this approach, a second permaculture garden has been added to the tour this year. Transition Perth is also pleased to be collaborating with the Permaculture Institute of Eastern Ontario (PIEO) and the local Classic Theatre Festival. The July 27 event also features a benefit performance of The Star-Spangled Girl at 8 p.m., with proceeds going to PIEO to support the creation of free community spaces in a permaculture course. Transition Perth is a group of dedicated local volunteers interested in building community resilience by promoting relocalisation, including local businesses, local transportation and local food, and raising awareness around the challenges of global
economic instability, peak oil and climate change. The group is part of a larger community of Transition Towns, which currently number at 1,125 worldwide. Since its founding in 2010, Transition Perth has hosted a number of community events, including: film and discussion evenings, community potlucks, gift bazaars, a solar
cooker demo, fruit propagation and grafting workshops, a networking evening for local organizations and groups, and a workshop on collaborative communication.

There are places I remember; each of them has changed me By PETER GOODYEAR Asbury Free Methodist Church
Lifestyle - There is a small town in Newfoundland where I learned the mechanics of faith and started to wonder. There is a house in that town where I hid under the foundation, when I was afraid of my father. There is a tree house that I ran to as a child and talked to God, wondering if he heard me at all. There is a schoolyard where I was bullied. There is a lake in Cape Breton where I fought the current until I was bone weary and thought I would never make it to shore. There’s an altar in a church in Winnipeg, where I quit my life and found a new one. There’s a camp on Lake Ontario, where a girl broke my heart. There’s a bus stop in Willowdale that I used to walk home from, and pray while gazing at the stars. There’s a college in Winnipeg where I soaked in the truth of the scriptures like a sponge. There is a church where I said,
“I do,” and felt complete. There’s an apartment in North York where I owned little but learned so much. There is a chapel in a centre for alcoholics where I knelt with a member of Hells Angels and saw a life transformed. There is a pulpit where I preached my first of many awful sermons, and prayed I would get better. There are trails in the woods of northern Ontario where my love and I walked and talked about life, God and the universe. There are two hospitals where my children were born, and I felt the weight of these helpless little lives that I was responsible for. There’s a doorway where my kids wrapped their arms around my neck and loved my discouragements away. There is a stretch of highway between Cambridge and Mississauga, where the deepest wounds on my soul found healing. There’s a precipice overlooking the Grand Canyon, where I sat with my feet dangling over the edge and felt small, but loved.
There is a hospital room where they pieced together my shattered elbow. There a parking lot where I learned of the betrayal of my closest friend. There is a swimming pool where I baptized my daughter. There’s a physiotherapy clinic where I spent five days a week for year, and almost lost hope of getting the use of my right arm back. There is a spot on the way out of Stratford, Ont., where I stepped out of my car, and shook the dust out of my sandals. There is a stone church on Gore Street where I share my journey with an eager group of fellow travellers. There are two chairs where I sat with a friend recently, and he came to believe that Jesus could save him from himself. There is a God who dwells beyond time, but has met me in all of these places in the highs and lows of life. Each encounter has changed me. And I am grateful.

Did you know? It is said that up to a million horses were killed while serving with Allied troops during the First World War. Contrary to popular belief that the Great War was mostly about trench warfare, cavalry men still charged into battle on horseback (hence the word charger for those horses). The enormous amount of food required for the animals added to the supply problem, and in most cases the horses were transporting supplies both for themselves and the troops. Don’t forget our websites: www. Submitted photo rcl244.com and www.hallofrememCanada Day was celebrated at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 44. Wayne Clapp, Lebrance.ca

PaddlePower participants can then join other Otty Lake residents and cottagers at the annual Community Day Family Picnic at Maple Glen Park, which begins at 10 a.m. The Kemptville-based Reptile Rain Forest will be bringing their Reptile Rainforest Roadshow to the picnic, with shows at noon and 1 p.m. The show gives people a chance to see snakes, lizards, turtles and frogs up close. Picnic organizers have also planned some crazy and old time events for all ages with prizes. A barbecue will round out the day, with hamburgers, hotdogs, and soft drinks. The barbecue and entertainment is free to members of the Otty Lake Community, who are invited to come and enjoy the day with their lake friends. The day’s events will wrap up around 4 p.m. Otty Lake is located south of Perth and falls in both Tay Valley and Drummond-North Elmsley townships. The lake is surrounded by about 500 seasonal and year-round residences. The Maple Glen Recreation area is located on the northwest shore. For more information about the day’s events, e-mail paddlepower2013@gmail. com or visit ottylakeassociation.ca.

Organizers are aiming for a flotilla of more than 200 kayaks and canoes to make an attempt at the Guinness World Record, currently, 1,903 boats. “We’re not going for the record, but that’s a kind of a neat thing,” said Barb Hicks, a member of the lake association, who looks after the board’s newsletter. “This is the first time we’ve done something like this. It’s just a social time and to get out and have some fun in the summer.” This promises to be a fun, community-building event, she added. Paddlers are asked to meet at the north end of the lake in the open water by Cloverleaf Island, Mile Point and Maple Glen starting at 10 a.m. to get into formation. Photographs will be taken by air and by water of the group at 10:45. Residents, families and friends are all welcome, and all children must be supervised by their guardians. Souvenir T-shirts can be ordered as well.

Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier, November 8, 1907 under the headline, Edmund B. Code Wins Rogers & Nicoll’s Race. “The much-talked-about road race on the morning of Thanksgiving Day, under the auspices of Messrs. Rogers & Nicoll, local hardware merchants, was certainly a great success in every respect, and caused intense interest in town and also through the country to Manion.” The race referred to was the very first Glen Tay Block
Race, which has been sponsored by this Legion branch for many years.

and RCMP members and their families, to promote remembrance, and to serve our communities and our country.” The annual Glen Tay Block Race will take place on Thursday, Aug. 29 at 6 p.m., starting and finishing in front of the Perth Museum. You can see from the paragraph below that the first race was staged in 1907, and was brought back to life as a Centennial project in 1967 by Tom Graham.

News – The Hall of Remembrance military museum on the upper floor of our Legion building contains several rooms of artifacts from both world wars and other conflicts. During the last few months curator John Gemmell has overseen the improvement of many displays and the building of some new ones, including a tribute to our serving men and women in Afghanistan. Please spread the word to your friends and family if they have not had an opportunity to visit us there. The regular hours are on Friday and Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m., May through November. Tours at other times can be arranged through our office at 613-267-4400. More information is also available through our website listed below. Summer is traditionally a slow season for most Legion branches, and Perth is no exception, with general meetings for the months of July and August being cancelled. Now would be a good time to make sure all committee reports have been completed, and to think ahead about what you as a member can do in the months ahead to carry on our mission, which is “to serve veterans, which includes serving military

The Table in Perth offers new cooking class for seniors ljweir@metroland.com
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rosie Kerr is a new member of the staff at The Table Community Food Centre in Perth and in August, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rolling out a new program specifically for seniors. The community kitchen coordinator will launch the Young at Heart Cooking class on Friday, Aug. 30. The morning sessions will last from 9 to 11:30 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to showcase the skill and knowledge of seniors,â&#x20AC;? Kerr said, who recently joined The Table
and says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having a great time so far. The Sharbot Lake resident has a background in teaching. Talk of various programming is always happening at the food centre, and Kerr said that a new program for seniors was a goof fit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of seniors in Perth and we wanted to offer some programming that is specific to them and gets them together,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here at The Table it is about building community; getting seniors together to cook is a wonderful way to build community. We
thought a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; specific group would be great. We want to acknowledge the talent they have and share with each other, build friendships and also have them focus on recipes and potential stories about when they were growing up and what cooking was like for them.â&#x20AC;? They are also looking at partnering with a writer to piece together a book of recipes based on themes, Kerr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at the history of food and cooking in Perth,â&#x20AC;? she said. The cooking class is also a
working one where seniors can focus on a leadership role and conducting classes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they would like to do that, then we may have one group cook for another group here at The Table,â&#x20AC;? Kerr explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or some kind of community meal that is very community oriented.â&#x20AC;? As seniors get older, sometimes
seniors lose a partner, and therefore they may also lose their motivation to cook for one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived alone and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really boring,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cook for oneâ&#x20AC;Ś so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother cooking. We wanted to bring the fun back to cooking and bring seniors together who may be newly isolated in their live. This will hopefully reinvigorate them.â&#x20AC;?
If mobility is an issue, please call The Table for transportation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect there to be a lot of interest,â&#x20AC;? she said. An orientation will take place to learn the layout of the kitchen and how that works. To learn more about the program, call The Table at 613-2676428. R0012216962_0718

Thomas (Tom) Cairns
On July 1, 2013, at the age of 94 Tom passed away surrounded by loving family at the Perth Hospital. He went to join Connie, his beloved wife of 70 years where no doubt they are once again “dancin’ the light fandango.” Left to cherish his memory are his daughter Pat Cairns (Marnie Dickinson) and their son Carl of Perth and sons Tom (Susan) of Cowichan Bay, BC and Bob (Maria) of Calendar, Ont. and their children Laura and Bob Jr. Tom was recently predeceased by his grandson Theo of Cowichan Bay, BC. Tom will be greatly missed by his family, friends, fellow music lovers and local business people who he dropped in on regularly. He had a smile for everyone he met and people knew him to be a kind and gentle soul. Tom and Connie were to be seen at most every music event in Perth always tapping the rhythm and singing along. The Stewart Park Festival will not be the same this year without them. In retirement Tom loved salvaging and repairing the unfixable and puttering in the workshop. Winters were spent in Florida, Bermuda and BC. He enjoyed assisting his Perth neighbours and was called upon to use his precise lettering skills that he developed during his 40 years at DeHavilland Aircraft as a draftsman. Family life was Tom’s greatest priority and leisure time was spent with his wife and children on picnics, coast to coast camping trips and Sunday drives. His hobbies included the raising of rabbits and carrier pigeons and woodworking. Our Dad was an exceptional Dad, always placing us first. He was a great role model and a hard act to follow. Family and close friends will gather to honour Tom privately. Flowers are graciously declined. Memorial donations can be made to the Stewart Park Music Festival or the Perth Hospital, Great War Memorial site.

DEATH NOTICE
ECCLES – In loving memory of Ken Eccles, who passed away July 8, 2012. God looked around His garden And found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eylids And whispered “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. His wife Madge, daughters Susan (Richard), Valerie (Aidan) and grandchildren Jordan, Jared and Kenzie

DAVISON V. Malcolm (Mac) Beloved husband to Betty (Trotter) Davison for 64 years. Peacefully on June 14, 2013 at Kingston General Hospital at the age of 86. Suddenly as a result of a stroke; Mac and his family received excellent care and support from the KGH staff. Born at home in Philipsville on February 4, 1927. Mac was pre-deceased by his parents, Hilyerd Davison and Mabel (Howard) Davison, of Philipsville, and a brother Howard Davison of Toronto. Mac was raised on the Davison farm in Philipsville and educated in Philipsville and Elgin. In 1946 Mac left home to see some of Canada. He ventured out west where he worked on a family farm in Coronation, Alberta. He then worked for Ontario Hydro from 1947 to 1949 laying tower lines all over the province of Ontario. Mac returned to Philipsville in 1949 and married his wife Betty - they lived and worked for a few months in Pembroke before coming home to take over the family farm in Philipsville. Mac was a full-time, hard-working dairy farmer for many years. As well as running the dairy farm, Mac ran a sugar bush each spring. In the summers Mac worked construction for a number of years. During the war years and as a young father in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Mac found time to play ball and hockey. He especially enjoyed baseball and caught and played 2nd base for the Chantry team, many exciting games occurred against teams from Jasper, Eastons Corners, Frankville and Toledo! Mac was a jack of all trades who loved working and was adaptable to any work situation. In 1968 Mac joined the County of Leeds and Grenville - he worked for the County for 22 years retiring at the age of 63. Mac and his colleagues had many exciting adventures plowing snow during raging snowstorms. There are very few roads in the County that Mac has not driven or plowed! Mac was always moving and lived by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;work before playâ&#x20AC;? adage. His energy and passion for life continued throughout his retired life. He was an active member of the Delta Mill Society, Honourary Director Delta Fair Board, and the Elgin United Church. In his later years Mac indulged in his love of genealogy and history. His spent many hours sorting and researching documents about his family and community and volunteering at the Heritage Society of Bastard and South Burgess. Mac was very proud that his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memoirs were published by the Heritage Society in May 2013, just a few weeks before his sudden passing. Mac is best remembered for his love of family, his friendliness, his sense of humour, amusing stories and love of sports. He loved nothing more than to be out dancing with Betty, enjoying family celebrations, talking with his many friends, or attending his grandchildrensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; many hockey and ball games, graduations and special events. Mac is survived by his wife Betty (Trotter) Davison. They were married in Philipsville on June 25, 1949. Mac is survived by 6 children. 12 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Carol (Jim) Olson (Adrienne and Alison) of Oshawa, Gayle (John) Turcotte (Crystal and Melanie) of Smiths Falls, Jim (Jennifer) Davison (Cale, Tyler and Tara) of Westerose, Alberta, Guy (Cathy) Davison (Ben and Alex) of Westport, Jill Ready (John Bell) (Cody) of Elgin and Pat (Tom) Morell (Justin and Samantha) of Rideau Ferry. Survived by one sister, Margaret McNally. Mac lived his Christian values each day as is shown in his devotion to his family and his community. His was a life â&#x20AC;&#x153;well-livedâ&#x20AC;?. His family is grateful for a loving husband who was devoted to his wife, for a caring, supportive father who was always there for his children and for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;funâ&#x20AC;?, hilarious grandfather.

Overcoming cycle of grief: parents ride cross-country to fight suicide stigma News – No matter how far, or how fast, they cycle, they can never outcycle the pain. A national, fundraising cycle rolled into town last week to break the stigma of suicide. A cathartic cross-country trip, which stopped at lot 38 at Last Duel Park last Friday, July 12, had one simple goal, apart from financial – to save at least one other family from having to go through what they had to go through. Ginny and Kerry Dennehy lost their son, 21-year-old Kelty, to suicide, stemming from a deep depression, in 2001. In 2009, their pain was doubled when their daughter Riley, then 23, was killed in a fall while travelling in Asia. The duo had just completed one of the shorter legs of their cross-country journey, about 100 kilometres from Kingston to Perth’s Last Duel Park. On other days, they average between 140 and 160 km per day. The cycle, to raise funds in memory of their late son, is to raise money for the foundation founded in his memory, the Kelty Patrick Dennehy Foundation. It left Whistler, B.C., on Mother’s Day, before heading east, through 65 communities, towards Cape Spear, Nfld., in the hopes of raising $2 million on their “Enough is Enough,” cycle. Their aim is to raise $2 million as part of the $6.7 million needed to create Kelty Mental Health Resource Centres in every province and territory in Canada. They have raised $700,000 so far on this trip, and they are confident they will reach their goal. “It’s a bit of a lofty goal, but if you don’t have a lofty goal, what is the point?” asked Ginny. Already, they have helped raise $5 million to combat mental illness, financing projects at the Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver, and building a Kelty centre at the B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. They are putting in applications to tap into some of the annual Movember money as well. “This year, the founder, an Australian, decided that 60 per cent (of Movember proceeds) should stay with prostate cancer, but the rest should stay with men’s mental health,” said Kerry. The duo are looking at Toronto, Calgary, and Winnipeg as possible homes for Kelty centres. “All of the money raised will stay in each province,” said Ginny. “It won’t go back to B.C.” They have been garnering not only financial support, but moral support as well, whether it is the truck driver who parked his rig by the side of the road to give them a $20 bill, or the woman who flagged down their RV to give them $100. They have also heard from many families who have lost loved ones to suicide. “That’s good,” said Ginny of the work done by the parents of the suicide victim Brett Pearson, and the annual Brett’s Walk in Carleton Place, which raises funds and awareness of suicide. While the names, and faces, of the lost, may be different, from different economic groups and parts of the country, like the Pearsons, the type of grief remains the same. “Those who suffer from mental illness, they feel that they are alone, no one understands them,” said Ginny. “And no one cares.” At this point, Kerry jumps in – “and they do care.”
While some suicides have garnered national attention, like Jamie Hubley’s death in Ottawa, and Paris Jackson’s suicide attempt, some celebrities have now gone public with their battles with depression. British actor, writer, and game show host Stephen Fry, admitted recently to having attempted suicide twice, the most recent incident just last year, in which he was saved by his director. Looking at himself on film during tapings of his popular game show, he admitted that he often may seem to be smiling and cracking jokes, but all he can think inside is how much he wants to die. “He’s trying to mask it,” said Ginny, hearing of Fry’s story. Her son too masked his grief. “He was a very positive type of person. He didn’t want us to worry. He probably masked it for a long time.” Even with these big name revelations, for Ginny and Kerry, there is still a lot of stigma to contend with. “It’s not being hidden as much,” admitted Ginny. “Some (victim’s families) choose not to talk about it and I believe that it is everybody’s prerogative. You have to be sensitive… that it is still a bit of a taboo.” Kerry has heard of some more traditional Catholic priests who refuse to perform a funeral mass for suicide victims, but “a lot of priests now think nothing of it,” said Kerry. In the old days, “the corpses (of suicide victims)
were piled up at the crossroads. It was the coward’s way out. I know damn well that my son went out like a lion,” Kerry said adamantly. “He could not go on. It was unbearable for him.” All too often, the revelations of a tortured soul come when it is too late – in the suicide note. “No one will ever understand my depression,” wrote Kelty. “And that was totally wrong,” replied his mother, sitting in the RV in a small town in eastern Ontario, years later, the summer sunshine belting down as his nephew practised his yoga outside. Between the ages of 15 to 25, “all of your losses are magnified,” said Kerry, so that “is why intervention is so important.” He pointed to the likes of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, who were able to create their tools for dealing with their inner demons, during times of war. “(Kelty) he was only 17,” said Ginny. “He didn’t have the tools in his kit bag.” No parent ever wants to think that their child might consider taking their own life, but “don’t be afraid to ask those tough questions…that they (parents) don’t want to ask, because they don’t want to hear the answer,” said Ginny. “Our son was very well centred, See RIDE page P15

Good weather Being outdoors all the time, they are at the mercy of the elements but they have been quite lucky in terms of the worst of the weather, missing both the rains that flooded Calgary, and Toronto too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have dodged the rain, all that Toronto stuff,â&#x20AC;? said Ginny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were in Hamilton. We totally dodged that.â&#x20AC;? They had been due to speak at the Toronto Cricket Club the next day and the night of the big deluge, the power went out at the club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We dodged all of the Calgary floods,â&#x20AC;? said Kerry. They did encounter snow however â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yes, snow in May, near Whistler, in the Rocky Mountains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the snow plow is coming down (the road, pushing snow), and you are going up, you know you are in trouble,â&#x20AC;? joked Ginny. The two are joined on their journey by nephews, Quinn and Keenan Dennehy, during Whitehorse, Yukon, who take care of RV maintenance and

Ginny and Kerry Dennehy are cycling from Whistler, B.C. to Cape Spear, Newfoundland, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easternmost point, to raise money for the foundation named in memory of their son. driving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like having a new family for a few months,â&#x20AC;? said Kerry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fulfilling to travel togetherâ&#x20AC;Ś and argue like a family,â&#x20AC;? he said, a smile flitting across his lips. The duo sit, very closely together, their bodies and arms
almost intertwined, in the comfortable crevices that couples married for many years have unknowingly, subconsciously created for the other over the years. They are decked out in their cycling gear still, looking like Tour de France contestants.
One would not hazard the guess that they had only seriously taken up cycling just two years ago. One of their first major cycles was from Vancouver to Whistler, 122 km, uphill, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we got hooked,â&#x20AC;? said Ginny. They later did bike tours of Turkey and
Italy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so thankful that I am healthy to do this,â&#x20AC;? said Ginny with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel that physical fitness is always under-estimated in so far as balance,â&#x20AC;? said Kerry who works with people with addictions, and often espouses the healing power of physical activity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run a marathon and be a crackhead.â&#x20AC;? Whether they are on the lonely roads of the Prairies, or the rolling hills near Westport, or the Rocky Mountains, there are always more than four people as part of their contingent. Their children are still with them. Kerry has two tattoos on his shoulders, with the names of his children written in Gaelic script. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like you have them both on your shoulders,â&#x20AC;? said Ginny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps on those hills,â&#x20AC;? added Kerry, letting them know, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we think we can do this.â&#x20AC;? The RV looks like a normal camper this time of year, but with one crucial difference â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a photo of the family, all four, in happier times, arms interlinked, on vacation, sits stuffed, to the fore, in front of registration papers and maps, on the sun visor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It fills a bit of a hole for us,â&#x20AC;? said Kerry of the trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a duty to talk about it and, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, time does heal.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never get over it,â&#x20AC;? added Ginny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You integrate these changes into your life.â&#x20AC;?

said Ginny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our son was very well centred, happy, goofy, lots of friends, (into) athletics, loved Christmas morning,â&#x20AC;? said Kerry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know that there is something wrong, when he is crying on your shoulder, saying he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about his sports, his friends.â&#x20AC;? At moments such as that, Kerry advises asking some direct, but necessary questions, like: are you thinking of hurting yourself? Killing yourself? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all get the bluesâ&#x20AC;Śbut donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk away from that,â&#x20AC;? said Kerry, advising family and friends to report their concerns to someone who will intervene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple of his friends felt guilty afterwards. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I know he was not on his game, butâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? before trailing off. For those who are in the midst of the darkness of depression, Ginny advises them to remember that â&#x20AC;&#x153;you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control what has happened, but you can control how you deal with it.â&#x20AC;? The campaign is not just about raising money though. It is about connecting those in need with immediate help, which can be accessed through the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site, http:// www.thekeltyfoundation.org. Even with the online component, people will still come knocking on their front
door at all hours of the day and night looking for help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who are depressed or have kids who are falling off of the wagonâ&#x20AC;Śthey need help right away. This is kind of a one-stop shop,â&#x20AC;? said Ginny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you call there is always a person there, no recordings.â&#x20AC;?

Renegade Bass tournament hits shores of Big Rideau Lake By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
off to ensure maximum safety for both anglers and spectators. The anglers will then filter across the lake to compete for nine hours, vying for $5,000 in prizes each day. “The communities of Perth and Smiths Falls and surrounding area are very welcoming to our anglers, which is why we love coming to fish the Big Rideau,” says Mike Vandenberg, president of Renegade Bass. “Spectators can come down to the Rideau Marine by boat or car to watch the weigh-in on both Saturday and Sunday beginning at 4 p.m. and see just how amazing a fishery there is on the Big Rideau Lake. It’s also quite a sight to see over $3 million worth of bass boats on the water and a chance to talk to the competitors about how to be a better angler and catch more fish.”
Sports – Anglers of the Renegade Bass tournament series will be on the Big Rideau this weekend, and along with it, comes the eighth annual kids’ fishing derby, Sunday. “It’s so important that we pass on the legacy of enjoying fishing and the outdoors to our children,” says Matt Massey of Carleton Place, public relations for the Renegade series as well as a big tournament fishing enthusiast himself. “That’s why Renegade Bass has been hosting this tournament. It’s a chance to instill that legacy, and each child who participates will get a great prize.” Little anglers, up to age 16, are encouraged to take part in the derby, which hits the shores of the Big Rideau TRIAL AND ERROR from Coutts Bay in Rideau Ferry on Massey says he’s learning to fish by Sunday, July 21, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 trial and error. p.m. at the harbour.

Swamp Dashers to hit soapy luge hill By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
Sports – Let’s go play in the swamp. Launching a new and exciting race in eastern Ontario, organizers of the everpopular Perth Kilt Run, are now taking it to the swamp. On Aug. 24, the inaugural Swamp Dash will take place at Providence Point in Lanark. “We are supporting two great organizations with the event,” says Jeannett Bosman, owner of Providence Point. “Camp Quality and a new program, the Perth Enrichment Program, which is for those dealing with Alzheimer’s.”
It will showcase both Providence Point and the beautiful 17 hectares (43 acres) it sits on and the new timing equipment that has been in use with the Kilt Run, which is organized by the Running Goat Club. The Swamp Dash is a Swamp Ogre Run and a team challenge triathlon like no other featuring a 5 km canoe race on the Clyde River, a 30-plus km cycle through Lanark Highlands, and to finish it off a unique and grueling 6 km Swamp Ogre Run in and around Providence Point. “Ingenuity, strategy, and strength are needed to complete these races, which can be done as teams,” says Bosman.
The Swamp Ogre Run is a stand alone race through “real swamp mud” and eight unique obstacles, like a tire wall and a soapy luge. Make it a weekend and include accommodations at Providence Point. On Saturday you can expect live entertainment, the Live Ogre Run, and Team Challenge Triathlon with a steak barbecue and awards and even some Lanark County maple syrup. The cost to enter is $160 for the Swamp Ogre Run, or $120 for the Swamp Dash.

At nationals last year, the Saltos team had some good numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a great showing at nationals (last year), with top 10 finishes across the board,â&#x20AC;? says Miller. The girls will compete in six
individual competitions with the oldest trio doing a team routine. They say they are excited to head to Vegas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to go swimming,â&#x20AC;? says Grace. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be staying at the Red Rock Resort. The girls have done some major fundraising throughout the season as some
$1,500 is needed per athlete for this competition. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not over yet. Once they return from Las Vegas they will be jumping into fundraising for their next challenge, the Pan Am Games, which are in Chili this year at the end of October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can raise the money
($2,400 each), we hope to be able to go to the PanAm Games,â&#x20AC;? Miller says. Watch for more information on one of their fundraising ventures, a night at the races, when they head to the Rideau Carleton Raceway for an evening of entertainment. R0011948547_0314

Rideau Ferry Regatta adds extra day’s fun to weekend agenda By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
News – The biennial Rideau Ferry Regatta is adding a meet and greet to its two-day weekend agenda next month as boat enthusiasts will have a chance to see some of these watercraft classics at Crystal Palace on Friday, Aug. 16. Jim Graff, a member of the regatta’s board and town councillor in Perth, says he’s thrilled that town staff wants to extend the tourism welcome wagon to include an extra day’s fun. “We are so happy that the town wanted to host this event on the Friday of the regatta,” says Graff. “Not only will it be good for tourism to town, but it will also show the government that we have a working relationship with neighbouring municipalities to keep Beverages Locks (upper and lower) open.” Just this year, lockages at Beverages Lock were changed from an on-demand basis, to 48 hours notice. Graff says when or if this situation is tabled at a future council meeting, he wants it noted what the local municipalities have been doing to work together to enhance the waterways, and the traffic on it. Graff says that commodore Scott Cameron has been planning this year’s event since last October. Race boats from Ontario, Quebec, New York State, Michigan and Australia will be escorted from the race site at the Rideau Ferry Yacht Club, to Perth by OPP on the Friday afternoon. They will be on display at the Crystal Palace on Friday at 2 p.m. with welcoming remarks by Mayor John Fenik, and

Vintage boats will be on display in Crystal Palace on Friday, Aug. 16 as participants in this year’s Rideau Ferry Regatta will spend some time in Perth prior to the weekend event. “hopefully, town crier Brent McLaren,” says Graff. All of these race boats are in mint condition and are capable of speeds over 100 miles per hour with a few having been clocked at over 150 mph, he says. “This year, we are expecting Miss Canada IV which is an unlimited class race boat powered by a Spitfire Rolls Royce aircraft engine,” says this hydroplane hobbyist. Graff himself has his own boat, which he says took him a lot of brownie points to be able to keep it for 10 years. “When I first brought it home, it sure was quiet in the house for a long time,” he says with a laugh. Now he says, he’s glad it seems that these events are becoming more popular with tourists and residents alike and
during regatta weekend, many will be on display, here and in Rideau Ferry. Graff talks about the mid-1950s vintage craft, Miss Canada IV, which was originally owned and driven by Harold and Lorna Wilson. The couple met at the University of Toronto. Their story has been made into a movie as they became international Canadian celebrities for their racing success in North America, he says. The boat has been completely restored by the new owner Canadian Industrialist Bobby Genevese. It was clocked at over 200 miles per hour. “We hope to have this boat, along with sea fleas and canoes on display as well,” he says. Added fun will be a cardboard boat race this year, and a canoe building
event. Already Perth will be one of the participating municipalities, as will the Youth Action Kommittee (YAK). The six-hour boat building competition will have teams of four people construct a 14-foot canoe on Saturday and race it Sunday. There will also be free toy boat shelter for children to build and paint their own little boats. Perth has had a long history of being involved with the Rideau Ferry Regatta and boat racing with local names such as Cavanaugh, Ramsey, Burchell, Johnson, Cullen, Noonan, Cavers, Yorke, Hall and Perkins, to name a few. In its off year, the regatta is held in Clayton, N.Y. and members of the local committee help their friends across the border with public relations and marketing. When Ontario hosts, those in Clayton do the same in return. Perth now has the McLean Trophy (regatta cup) on display at the town hall for anyone who would like to have a
look. According to the Rideau Ferry Yacht Club’s website, vintage race boat regattas are the fastest growing boating events within the American Power Boat Association, and now the Canadian Boating Federation has joined in. “After the tremendous return of Vintage Race Boats at Rideau Ferry in 2007, the interest of this sport north of the boarder has taken off as fast as the race boats themselves. “In 2009, the Canadian Boating Federation created a Vintage Race Boat Division, ensuring the future of these beautiful Vintage Race Boats within Canada stays strong and alive for future generations to enjoy.” To access the venue, and spend the day at the beach, bring your lawn chair, and enjoy a beautiful day at the Rideau Valley Conservation Area in Rideau Ferry.

Leacock Tours retirement party raises more than $2,000 for Canadian Cancer Society By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca
EMC News – More than 300 clients, supporters and family members gathered June 29 to wish Mary Lou Leacock a happy retirement and show their generosity towards the Canadian Cancer Society. Leacock held a retirement party at the Toledo Royal Canadian Legion, which featured music, courtesy of Dennis Whitteker and his band, This Old Heart and Country Music, as well as dancing. Leacock recently closed her Jasper business, Leacock Tours, after 40 years in operation, offering people group air and bus trips to destinations around the world. Failing eyesight and recent cancer surgery forced the 87-year-old to close up shop. Friend Norine Morrison decorated the legion hall and arranged a special memory room, complete with photo and guest books and mementos from Leacock’s countless trips, for guests to peruse. The 30 albums stretched from 1973, when the business was established, all the way up to 2013 (with photos from everywhere from China, Africa, all over Europe, Australia and local trips, Leacock said). Shirley MacDonald prepared two large, decorated cakes for the occasion and a luncheon was also served to visitors. Daughter Eleanor Renaud, a councillor with the Township of ElizabethtownKitley, took the opportunity to present her mother with a certificate of achievement for 40 years in business on behalf of the municipality. Leacock was pleased to see so many former clients, friends and colleagues attend the party, including Frank Healey, owner of Healey Transportation. “We have done a lot of business over the years and his mom (Donna) Throughout the afternoon event, was the one that really encouraged me when I started (my business),” those who dropped in also made several Leacock said. “I was really pleased donations to the cancer society, which amounted to $2,359.65 raised.

Clark proud of Ontario PC plan to fight hunger with local food EMC News – Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark is welcoming a PC Caucus amendment to the Local Food Act that would provide a tax credit to farmers who donate their products to their local food bank. Clark was at a Queen’s Park press conference recently where it was announced the PCs are putting forward the amendment, modeled on SarniaLambton MPP Bob Bailey’s private member’s bill Fighting Hunger with Local Food Act. MPP Bailey made the announcement along with Ontario PC Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Critic Ernie Hardeman (Oxford). “The agricultural community and food banks in Leeds-Grenville have been strong supporters of this tax credit, which will ensure local families have better access to fresh, highquality Ontario food,” said Clark. “I’m pleased that we’ve brought this amendment forward and I’m hopeful the government will support it because it will make a big difference to families in my riding and across Ontario.” The proposed amendment would grant a non-refundable tax credit worth 25 per cent of the wholesale value to farmers who choose to donate their excess agricultural products to local food banks. It would also allow unused tax credits to be carried forward for up to five years. Clark noted while food banks are struggling to meet demand, every year in Ontario some 25 million pounds of fresh, quality produce is ploughed back into fields by farmers. Often, the produce was rejected by grocers for
cosmetic reasons such as size, shape or colour. “Farmers have no other option than to plough it under because of the cost involved in collecting, processing and delivering it to a food bank,” explained Clark. “Our proposed amendment to the Local Food Act would change that scenario by making use of this nutritious produce.” Among the local food banks that have expressed support for MPP Bailey’s private member’s bill is Food For All, which serves South Grenville residents. In a letter to MPP Bailey, Food For All executive director Bonnie Gommert wrote: “On behalf of the Food For All Food Bank, we would like to thank you for your efforts in introducing Fighting Hunger with Local Food.” The tax credit amendment is one of the proposed improvements the Ontario PC Caucus has brought forward to strengthen the government’s Local Food Act. Earlier this year, Clark welcomed an amendment to increase food literacy among Ontarians by requiring food education as a mandatory component of instruction for pupils in every grade. “Local food is an important issue for consumers and producers in Leeds-Grenville,” said Clark. “I’m determined to ensure the Local Food Act is comprehensive enough to fix the problems farmers and our food sector face in putting more local food on people’s plates.” Submitted by the office of LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark.

But my technician said it would be covered an oil leak for example. To understand how this relatively simply request can go off the rails, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary to take a look behind the scenes. First, some dealership service personnel take it personally when a customer opts to have their routine maintenance work done by another garage, and no matter how professional or experienced they are, these feelings can ruin the broth of a client transaction. Some of you may remember how comedian Jerry Seinfeld made this look very funny in the episode where his technician kidnapped Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car after he questioned an estimate and wanted to take it to another shop for a second opinion. Secondly some independent technicians may not be completely conversant in a particular carmakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warranty terms. For example, suspension or steering joints may exhibit play or looseness, but may be within the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specs and therefore not a warrantable repair. Some warranties require a physical oil leak or drip to exist before repairs are authorized and a damp gasket or some fluid â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sweatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considered reason for action. Misunderstandings like this can escalate to arguments when a dealership completes an inspection, cannot find a warrantable condition, and then presents their customer with an invoice for the technicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time. But any auto

manufacturer will tell you that regardless of where a vehicle is serviced, the warranty, as outlined in the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handbook, still applies. So to make things easier for everyone, here are a few tips when dealing with this situation. â&#x20AC;˘ If your independent tech brings something to your attention that he or she thinks may be covered under a manufacturer warranty or recall, get some specifics. If something is loose: how loose is it? Which specific component? If something is causing a noise: why? If something is leaking: which fluid? Is it dripping or just sweating? Ask for a written report to eliminate the risk of forgetting something or referring to the wrong side or end of the vehicle when returning to your dealership service counter. â&#x20AC;˘ When communicating with your dealership, provide as much information as possible. For example, rather than ask them to diagnose a noise, tell them your private technician has identified a fault with component â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or part â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Ask them up front what their policy is for inspections that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lead to a warrantable repair.
Whether or not you choose to risk your money (on inspection charges) depends on how much you trust the opinion of your own tech. Some inspections require little time (and therefore small fees) whereas some jobs may involve multiple road-tests and/ or special equipment and at city shop rates that exceed $100/hour; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to know where you stand before things get started. â&#x20AC;˘ Dealers get paid by their manufacturers to complete warranty repairs and in some cases they are reimbursed at their retail labour rate with a healthy mark-up allowed on parts. Some techs may complain that the time allowances carmakers list for certain jobs are rather thin, but overall, completing warranty repairs is a profitable business for the retailer. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail. com listing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Question for the Car Counselorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A common situation that arises at dealership service/parts counters every day has a variety of approaches and the results can vary from great to dismal, depending on how things are communicated and unlike the old adage: a little knowledge can be a very good thing. Many vehicle owners are happy to have their vehicles serviced by their authorized dealerships and some prefer to stick with an independent garage or national/ regional chain for reasons of trust, price, comfort and convenience to name a few. A good service provider, regardless of the shingle hanging at their front door, will always do their best to ensure their customers have worry-free driving. To this end itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a common practice for technicians to perform a general inspection anytime a vehicle is in for routine maintenance in order to spot and bring to the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention, anything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amiss and requires attention. On newer vehicles, good service consultants will always keep in mind the vehicle manufacturer warranty as it may cover the costs of parts and labour for a particular repair or replacement due to a warrantable defect in workmanship or materials. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for a vehicle owner to end up at his or her dealershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service desk with a recommendation from an independent garage to replace a tie rod end, or repair

Be mindful of your pet’s condition during hot and humid weather By LORI CLARKSON
EMC Lifestyle – We have certainly found the “Dog days of summer” with all this heat and humidity! It’s a great time of the year in Lanark County and hopefully everyone is having a safe and happy summer so far. More hot and humid weather is expected in the region over the next couple of days. When the sun is shining it may be tempting to get out for some summer fun with your pet but the risk of heatstroke is a real danger everyone should be aware of. Many people are already aware that the car can be a very dangerous place if a pet is left alone for even a very short period of time. Less obvious are the dangers of overexertion during hot, and particularly, humid weather. Dogs don’t sweat like humans do. The main way they cool down is by panting which isn’t the easiest way to cool off in the first place, and it is much more difficult in humid weather, as there is very little evaporation. On a hot day, the time between having fun and heatstroke can be very short. The time is even shorter in the high humidity. The activity doesn’t have to be strenuous either since dogs just aren’t built to cool off like humans are. Heatstroke can happen much quicker than expected, especially for the “flat-faced, short-nosed” breeds such as Bulldogs, Pugs, and Pekingese which are called brachycephalic breeds. They are most at risk for heatstroke from high temperatures and overexertion due to their anatomy which can impede air flow and reduce the effectiveness of panting even more. And don’t assume that your pet will know when to slow down; by the time they finally do stop to lay down, it may be because they physically can’t go on any more. Watch your pet for signs of tiring and too much panting. The panting tongue out too far will indicate break time. The same advice for humans applies to pets as well; exercise in the early morning and late

Can’t beat giant robots battling giant monsters on big screen MOVIE: Pacific Rim STARRING: Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Burn Gorman, and Ron Pearlman DIRECTOR: Guillermo del Toro EMC Entertainment - Pacific Rim could have used the silliest, most farfetched premise imaginable, and I still would have watched it. I would have watched it because it has giant robots fighting giant monsters, and giant robots fighting giant monsters is awesome. Though it seems completely unnecessary there is a plot. Giant alien monsters called kaiju start coming out of an inter-dimensional breech in the Pacific Ocean. The first takes six days to kill and destroy three cities. The world then bands together, and builds giant robots called jaegers to fight them. The jaegers are incredible war machines, but due to their sheer size and complexity it takes two pilots with their minds linked to operate them. The war rages for years, and the jaegers seem to turn the tide, but the kaiju kept coming. They get bigger, stronger, and more dangerous. Then they start to come through the breech more frequently, and begin to overwhelm the jaegers. Now the last four jaegers are going to make one last run to try and close
My Take MARK HASKINS
the breech. The problem is one of the jaegers, Gypsy Danger, needs a pilot. Marshal Pentecost (Idris Elba), the man in charge of the jaegers, knows just the guy. Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) was one of the original pilots of Gypsy Danger along with his brother. Then his brother was killed in action, and Raleigh walked away from the program. With the fate of the world in the balance Raleigh agrees to go back, but without his brother he has to train a new partner. Enter Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi). She’s skilled, eager and a perfect match for Raleigh. She’s also never been in a real jaeger, and has her own emotional issues. Who said saving the world would be easy? I can’t be believe they bothered with as much story and character development as they did. I get it. Your character has deep emotional scars, and is highly motivated to kill kaiju. I just don’t care. I want less talk and more giant robot-fighting-giant-mon-
ster action. After all the giant robot fighting giant monster action is awesome. These effects are worth seeing, and worth seeing on the big screen. They were so mind blowing I didn’t mind overlooking the film’s weak (and occasionally wrong) attempts at explaining plot points with ‘science’. I actually like the cast. Charlie Hun-
nam and Rinko Kikuchi have good chemistry, do some cool martial arts, and look like they know how to pilot a giant robot. Idris Elba is a fantastic actor and just the person to deliver the obligatory inspirational speech. Charlie Day and Burn Gorman play the token scientists and provide quality comic relief along with Ron Pearl-
man who’s outstanding as underworld kingpin Hannibal Chau. Pacific Rim is what summer blockbusters are all about. Massive spectacles with jaw dropping effects, larger than life story lines, and giant robots fighting giant monsters. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Emergency Preparedness Shelter in Place “Shelter-in-place” means to take immediate shelter where you are—at home, work, school, or in between. It may also mean “seal the room;” in other words, take steps to prevent outside air from coming in. This is because local authorities may instruct you to “shelter-in-place” if chemical or radiological contaminants are released into the environment. It is important to listen to TV or radio to understand whether the authorities wish you to merely remain indoors or to take additional steps to protect yourself and your family. Close and lock all windows and exterior doors. If there’s a danger of an explosion, close all windows, covering (shades, blinds, curtains etc.), turn off all fans, close vents for heating and air conditioning systems and fire places.

EMC Lifestyle – James Dean drove a black 1949 Mercury coupe with wide whitewalls, dual exhausts and fender skirts in the Hollywood classic, “Rebel Without a Cause.” Ever since that movie was released in 1954, the 1949-51 Mercurys have probably been customized more than any other make or model, with many of them rendered identical to the one driven by James Dean. A more recent movie, “Cars,” inspired the transformation of the 1949 Mercury coupe owned by Dale McNinch of Tillsonburg, Ont. He writes: “Hi Bill, I was looking through a copy of the ‘Old Car Trader’ in 1983. In it was advertised a 1949 Mercury coupe for $500. I called Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and talked with the man who owned it. “He said: ‘I go farm to farm buying scrap. At this one farm, they asked if I take whole cars. I said yes and they took me to the barn. In it was this 1949 Mercury. The kids had been jumping off the hay mow onto the roof. It had 1962 Saskatchewan plates. They also gave me a 1951 Merc front end with rounded hood corners and frenched headlights.’ “We made a deal and I sent him $500. Two weeks later, I had extra holiday time so I took my 12-yearold son in our 1969 Blazer and a rented trailer.

South East CCAC celebrates year of connecting people with care EMC News – The South East Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) celebrated another year of connecting people with the care they need and announced the new board of directors for 2013/14 at its annual general meeting on June 26. The board of directors for 2013/14 are: David Vigar (chair), Wendy Cuthbert (vice-chair), Stan Collins (treasurer), Deanna Dulmage (secretary), Carole Weir, Marion Hughes and the board welcomes new member, Francyne St-Pierre Givogue. In 2012/2013, South East CCAC provided care to more than 33,410 people including: 20,889 patients receiving care at
home; 14,481 seniors who were supported to stay in their homes independently; and 3,451 children receiving health services at school. Getting people the care they need at home and in the community, the South East CCAC helped more than 1,242 seniors transition to a long-term care home; worked in hospital inpatient and emergency departments across the region to help 12,071 people return home from hospital with home care; and provided 663 more patients with personal support, and 100,248 more hours of personal support than the previous year. “Not only are we coordinat-
ing care for more people, we are also seeing an increase in patients with high needs” said Jacqueline Redmond, chief executive officer of the South East CCAC. “Caring for more people with high care needs requires increased collaboration across the health system and CCACs play a key role in creating a better aligned health system. We look forward to continuing to work with all sectors of the local health care system to provide outstanding care to every person, every day.” Thanks to sound financial management principles, the South East CCAC balanced its $109 million budget with a
small surplus. “I have a deep gratitude for the work of the South East CCAC,” said outgoing board member Beverley Townsend. “Every day there is a huge corps of people who support more than 12,500 individuals to remain in their homes under the guidance of the CCAC care coordinators. The CCAC has a relatively small number of staff reaching many people in the community and helping many people navigate the health system. We get a huge value for the dollars invested.” To view a copy of the 2012/13 annual report and the audited financial statements, visit the South East CCAC website at

Land claim agreement will articulate Algonquins’ harvesting rights By ROBERT POTTS
EMC Lifestyle – The following is part of a series, provided by the Algonquins of Ontario. Since time immemorial, harvesting has been central to the Algonquin way of life. The Algonquin traditional practices of hunting, trapping, fishing and gathering flora for medicinal, food and other purposes, reflect the history of Algonquins as a hunting and gathering society. These practices embody an inherent respect for the environment and a fundamental commitment to the sustainable management of resources which has been passed from generation to generation. The right of Aboriginal peoples in Canada to engage in traditional activities that are fundamental to their unique histories, cultures and spiritual beliefs is recognized by the Constitution Act, 1982 and upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada. Under this
legal framework, the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) currently possess the right to harvest wildlife, fish, migratory birds and plants for domestic purposes 365 days per year. This right is subject only to measures necessary for conservation and public health and safety. As such, a final treaty will not create Aboriginal rights for the AOO but rather, it will clearly articulate what these rights are and how they may be exercised. As stewards of the land and resources within their traditional territory, the AOO recognize the fundamental importance of protecting viable populations of flora and fauna for generations to come. Since 1991, the AOO have pioneered ground-breaking harvest management plans for moose in Algonquin Park and wildlife management units surrounding the park. These plans contain clear provisions which set out when and where the harvest by Algonquin harvesters can occur, what the to-
Robert Potts
tal harvest is to be and who is eligible to participate through a tag system. Harvest limits for moose and elk are established in cooperation with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), based on data that addresses wildlife conservation and the sustainability of wildlife populations. The AOO is the first Aboriginal group in Canada that has voluntarily enacted these types of harvest management practices. Over the last decade the AOO, working in partnership with the MNR have become important players in moose aerial inventory surveys in Algonquin Park. This involvement expanded to elk aerial inventories beginning in early 2012. The AOO continue to work with the MNR to develop a coordinated approach to enable the effective participation of the Algonquins in the collection of data relating to fish and other wildlife across the territory. To date, the data collected for both
moose and elk have assisted in the development of the AOO annual harvest management plans. The AOO recognize that sustainable harvests are fundamental not only to the Algonquin way of life but also to our neighbours living throughout our traditional territory. As demonstrated over the past 20 years, the AOO are committed to working together to ensure the protection of viable populations of fish and wildlife for future generations. This column is the fourth in a series providing insights into Algonquin history, the foundation for the land claim, elements of the preliminary draft AIP and next steps in the journey. The next column will focus on the forestry component of the preliminary draft AIP. For more information visit www. tanakiwin.com. Robert Potts is Principal Negotiator and Senior Legal Counsel for the Algonquins of Ontario.

Hyosung motorcycles have had success since launch style race-inspired bikes and the performance cruiser ST7 models. My tester from Dan Witmer of GearHead Canada was the GT250R. This red and white faring clad pocket-something, looked great in its stance and provided an adequate seat height of 32” that provided easy swing over even for an aging test pilot. In mono-coloured trim, the GT250R carries an MSRP of just $4,200; my two-toned version is only $200 more. If you want the bones without skin, a ‘naked’ version of the GT250R is available in three solid colour choices for just $3,799 (all prices before destination charges, dealer prep, license fees, and tax). As the moniker suggests, power for the GT250R comes from an air/oil cooled 250 cc twin breathing through eight valves on a dual-over-head-cam. The fuel injection system removes the need for a choke and annoying fast idle warm-ups. A five-speed transmission transfers the 30 hp via a chain to a rear 17” tire. Stopping performance is strong and comes from a three-disc system using twin-piston 300 mm calipers on the front and a 230 mm unit on the rear. Front suspension is comprised of 43mm inverted forks and the rear uses a swing arm with a progressive linkage shock that’s preload adjustable. The front tire is a 110/70-17 and the rear is 150/70-17. The GT250R propelled my 230 lb mass without much complaint and shifts were solid and powered well by a wide torque-band. A slight stiffness to the steering and pegs I put down to being the first rider on this machine out of the

box. Even with the low position handlebars, and my lack of experience with this stance, signal and lamp controls, along with brake and clutch levers (which are adjustable) were easy to operate. A three-position foot-peg set-up, along with the adjustable levers will permit a
wide range of riders to find just the right position for comfortable yet spirited rides. The GT250R definitely won’t give many mid-displacement bikes a scare, but it provides a great balance between a solid commuter and weekend freedom bike. For those not seeking a race-inspired riding position the less dressed GT250 has a different set of handlebars that permits a more upright stance. Instrumentation includes a digital inset for fuel, temp, and trip distance with an adjustable brightness feature. Hyosung provides a full one-year parts and labor warranty with a second year for parts only. The GT250R is rated at 78 mpg and
17 L fuel tank provides plenty of range. I found the GT250R supplied confidence by means of the ease of operation in a ride on a busy Ottawa Saturday morning route. The mirrors need to provide a slightly wider range and the seat bottom definitely could use a little more padding. With the ease of cold starts and the nimbleness that a compact-framed bike provides in urban settings at a price point lower than any of the competitions’ MSRP’s, Hyosung might be your first or next ride. Yours in service Brian Turner

EMC Lifestyle – The bikes and vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices), come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local retailers. I prefer to use retailers whenever possible because they stock units that more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local retailer and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The Hyosung 250GTR motorcycle I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at GearHead Canada in Bells Corners, Ottawa. Hyosung motorcycles have had just as much success since their launch in Canada as every other Korean vehicle importer. They were established in the late ‘70s and quickly developed a technology cooperation agreement with Suzuki. They grew from there and never looked back. They entered the North American market in 2005 marketing mid-level equipped bikes at entry level prices (a practice they continue with today). They started in Canada with cruiser-style machines, low on displacement but high on riding value. These bikes have evolved to the GV250 and GV650 Pro and find themselves equally at home on commutes or weekend get-away lanes. Their line has expanded and now includes GT-

Healthy and safe outdoor eating tips for summertime By MEENA TIPPER
EMC Lifestyle – Summertime is ideal for eating outside, at the beach, in the back yard or a local park. When planning foods for outdoor eating remember that in the summertime many local vegetables and fruit are at their peak and make a wonderful addition to any meal. It is also important to stay hydrated, and use safe food practices. Healthy picnic options Typical prepackaged picnic foods such as hot dogs, mayon-
naise based salads (e.g. potato salad); chips, desserts etc. can be high in saturated fat, sodium and sugar. You can make your picnic healthier by including vegetables, fruit, whole grains and lean meat. Summer picnics occur at the height of the fresh fruit and vegetable season. Here are a few tasty and easy picnic ideas: • Combine salad greens with a variety of other vegetables. Bring vinaigrette dressing to toss before serving. • Serve sliced vegetables and dip. Try locally grown tomatoes, red peppers, radishes,
