News - On Wednesday July 3, at 4:24 p.m. the Lanark County OPP received a 911 call regarding an accident at Rosedale Road and Roger Stevens Drive involving a car and a motorcycle. “A preliminary examination of
the accident scene suggests that the car was travelling north on Rosedale while the motorcycle was headed towards Smiths Falls on Roger Stevens Drive at the time of the collision,” said Sgt. Mark Monker of the Lanark OPP. Both the female driver of the Toyota Corolla and the male
driver of the motorcycle were taken to the Smiths Falls site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital by ambulance with the male victim due to be airlifted to the Ottawa Civic. “There were no fatalities and both victims were conscious and talking to us,” said Monker. The intersection was closed
for a little over an hour as rescue workers, paramedics and police worked the scene. “There are a lot of accidents at this corner, they need to put in a traffic light,” said Dominic Gallelli, who lives on Rosedale just off the intersection with Roger Stevens, but did not witness the accident.

News - Intriguing is the word that came to everyone’s mind during a presentation made at the committee-of-the-whole at Smiths Falls town council on July 8. Robert Bush of Edgely, Bush and Associates, a sustainable technologies facilitating company, spoke about the proposal. “It’s an intriguing proposal, and we’re pleased that you approached us for this opportunity,” said Mayor Dennis Staples.
The presentation outlined a proposed waste processing pilot project that would eliminate the need for landfill sites, can fuel itself, isolates certain recyclables and produces a by-product that can be used as a fertilizer. “We believe waste is not waste but a misused resource,” said Ron Denom, of Terragon Technologies, the company that developed the process for the US Navy and Canadian Department of Defence. The Micro Gasification System (MAGS) is, according to the
company website, “the world’s most compact and environmentally friendly solid waste treatment appliance.” It looks like nothing more than a high-tech furnace and works by heating waste to a temperature of 750 C, in a low oxygen chamber. The process consumes all organic waste, converting it into a fuel gas that runs the unit. Meanwhile it traps the carbon produced from the waste into an inert product called bio-char that can be used as a fertilizer. It also destroys, plastics, sludge, cloth, oils and
grease, animal waste, chemicals and agricultural waste among other things while sanitizing metals and glass leaving them intact and recyclable. Council was generally very receptive to the proposal. “I’m intrigued by the notion, but there are a lot of unanswered questions,” said Coun. Ken Graham. Initial project cost was one concern, the logistics of transportation and transitioning See GREEN page SF2

Events - What do rakes, bowling balls, catalytic converters and chain saws have in common? They’re the inspiration behind Bernard Beaudry’s delightfully whimsical garden sculptures, which will be on display at Art in the Barn on the Lombardy Fairgrounds July 13 and 14. “I will be displaying both the garden critters and a few of my oil paintings at the show,” explains Beaudry. Like many of the more than 40 Rideau Lake artists who will be at Art in the Barn, Beaudry displays his work at about three to four shows every summer. “It’s the fun of going to these shows and interacting with the customers,” he says with a chuckles. In its third year, Art in the Barn has been gathering a loyal following. “At Art in the Barn, people start arriving usually at 9:30 a.m. even though the show doesn’t really open until 10 a.m.,” says Beaudry. The popular show and sale is also a fundraiser for the Do It For Daron (DIFD) fund supporting youth mental health at the Royal Ottawa Hospital. “This is our third annual show and sale and there is no charge at the door, but donations are welcome,” says organizer Nora Brown. Purchases can be made by Visa or Mastercard and 10 per cent of all sales will be donated to the DIFD fund. As usual, the participating artists will be on hand to talk about their work. This year the offerings have expanded and the variety continues to grow. “There are a few new artists this year and quite a range of arts on display,” says Margaret Kelk, a painter and quilter who is one of the newbies. The barn is located west of Smiths Falls on Highway 15 at Kelly Road. Show is on from 10 a.m. and closes at 4 p.m.

Cheques will only be issued under exceptional circumstances, for example when Canadians do not have access to a financial institution because they live in a remote location. “During this transition period, we can assist people in establishing a direct deposit account with the government to ensure there are no interruptions in payments they receive,� says Brown. “The government of Canada is committed to using taxpayer dollars wisely,� says the Rona Ambrose, Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women. “Increasing the use of direct deposit will contribute significant savings through the reduction in the use of
paper and related cheque-printing and delivery costs.� The Receiver General issues over 300 million payments annually, of which close to 77 per cent are already made by direct deposit. Citizens and businesses currently receiving federal government cheques have the next four years to register to receive payments by direct deposit. Enrolment forms can be obtained from the Receiver General website, or from federal departments responsible for the payment to be received by direct deposit. For any new payment, the first payment method offered will be direct deposit. “Or you can simply drop into my office and we will help you set this up,� says Brown.

Mobile breast cancer awareness centre visits Merrickville By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
News – A 46-foot long pink bus is enough to get anyone’s attention. The residents of Merrickville were subject to such a sight on July 5. The mobile breast cancer awareness centre travelled to the Rideau Community Health Services Centre in Merrickville as part of their Pink Tour. “On the bus, there’s information about breast health and breast screening,” said Sandra Palmaro, chief executive officer of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) – Ontario Region. “There’s mobile information on site.” This is the second year the mobile breast cancer awareness bus has toured the province with the hope of educating people on the importance of screening and general breast health. Last year, the bus visited 130 locations and provided information to 35,000 people. The bus has changed from last year, offering more information about risk reduction and high risk factors. “There’s also a video camera right on the bus where people can share their personal stories,” said Palmaro. The tour officially began on June 26 and will run until Oct. 6. The last stop is scheduled for Toronto, so the bus will be on site for the CIBC Run for the Cure breast cancer fundraiser. “Depending on the stop, we get anywhere from 50 to 2,000 people stopping by to see the bus,” said Palmaro. The bus has visited 12 locations so far, including Brockville, with plans to visit a further 78 towns across the province. They hope to have more than

Above, from left: Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, 30,000 experience the centre during the tour. “It’s a combination of big cities and small towns,” said Palmaro. “We try to reach remote communities that have trouble getting information about breast

Screening Program who can book mammograms on site for people,” said Palmaro. The concept of a mobile breast cancer awareness center started in Nova Scotia. As a result of the initial tour, health care professionals in Nova Scotia saw a 10 per cent increase in breast cancer screening. According to a press release from the CBCF, mortality rates for breast cancer are decreasing due to early diagnosis and improved treatments, but “one in nine Canadian women will still be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. While women aged 50 to 74 can receive a mammogram without a doctor’s referral and at no cost, currently only 61 per cent of women in Ontario are being screened and research shows that women are not aware that they can take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer.” “We’re just analyzing the numbers from last year, but there’s definitely been an increase of understanding benefits of getting screened and increase in screening in Ontario,” said Palmaro. The tour is funded primarily by Shoppers Drug Mart and CIBC, which enabled the organizers and participants to focus their attention on educating the public rather than fundraising. “It’s great to have their support,” said Palmaro. “It’s important that people don’t have any reservations about coming to visit us and not feel any barriers about getting involved in breast cancer screening.” For more information on the Pink Tour, visit www.thepinktourontario. com.

Mike Maloney proudly stands next to his 1966 Austin-Healey, left, which, along with Barry Splaine’s 1966 Thunderbird, above, will be among the classic cars on display at the Classic Theatre Festival’s season opener July 13 in Perth.
Swing back to 1966 with Classic Theatre Festival opener Now Serving Dinner both romantic and otherwise, as issues such as social change, patriotism and the nature of love are played out. In typical Neil Simon style, the writing is sharp and funny, the characters inherently lovable, and the story one that could apply to our current daily lives. Indeed, Simon’s show, written almost 50 years ago, could just as easily apply today to the Americans’ red state-blue state divide, in which conservatives and liberals continue to duke it out in elections and congressional debates. Smith reminds audiences that ultimately, the play is about the power of love to transcend differences, a valuable lesson in uncertain times. ‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ runs until Aug. 4, Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. matinees each Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Each matinee is preceded by a 1:30 p.m. pre-show talk under the trees at the back of the theatre. Folks looking for a bargain can buy a season pass: by purchasing one regular ticket to the show, they will receive a 25 per cent discount off the season’s second show, a comedy of madcap marital mayhem, ‘The Marriage-Go-Round’ (running Aug. 9 to Sept.1).

get a sense of the style of the mid-60s, and these are the kinds of cars that were on the road a lot when our characters were ‘doing their thing’,” Smith explains. ‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ is the story of Andy and Norman, two free-thinking magazine writers who are dedicated to changing the world, a not uncommon trait of the ’60s generation. Their apartment features a banner that reads “A Remedy for a Sick Society,” a tribute to their magazine, Fallout, which analyzes the problems of society and seeks solutions. Their walls are also adorned with icons of the era from actors Julie Christie and Anouk Aimee to pictures of Martin Luther King, Jr., and folk singer Joan Baez. Close friends since high school, Andy and Norman (played by actors Trevor Pease and Richard Gélinas) eke out a living in an apartment whose rent is perpetually late (something they get away with because Andy entertains the outrageous landlady downstairs). Their lives are turned upside down when a conservative southern belle moves in next door, the inimitable Sophie Rauchsmeyer (played by returning festival actor Kate Gordon).

Entertainment – In a testament to the fact that Herb Alpert and Herman’s Hermits never go out of style, the Classic Theatre Festival’s season opener on Saturday, July 13 at 8 p.m. will be a celebration of 1966, complete with classic cars of the era, an opportunity to dance “The Freddie” and the “Hanky Panky,” and to enjoy the Neil Simon comedy ‘The Star-Spangled Girl’, set in San Francisco during the middle of that turbulent decade. “With each opening of one of our shows, we try and take the audience back to the time period in which the play is set, to give them a sense of the look, feel, and sound of the era,” says Laurel Smith, festival artistic producer. “With this show, it is an era that is recognizable to a lot of people because it is during the middle of the rock and roll renaissance, combined with the rapidly changing mores of youth culture, with all the passions and commitments that entails,” she says. Based this summer at the Full Circle Theatre at 26 Craig St., Perth, the festival’s opening night will feature a 1966 Thunderbird owned by Barry Splaine and a 1966 Austin-Healey convertible owned by Mike Maloney, among other vehicles expected to be on display. “When you see these cars, you really

Charity golf tournament scores big for CDSBEO students EMC News – The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) hosted the sixth annual Good Samaritan Trust Fund (GSTF) Golf Tournament on Wednesday, July 3, at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. The tournament raised more than $16,400 to help CDSBEO students in need. Established in 2007, the Good Samaritan Trust Fund offers financial support to Board students and their families. The fund offers provisions in situations which cannot be remedied by organizations such as food banks, snow suit funds, or breakfast clubs. It fills a support void which is not defined or restricted to one specific need. Director of Education, William J. Gartland, expressed his thanks to tournament supporters. “This tournament has become our flagship fundraiser for the GSTF. It is so important for us to be able to provide this unique support system for our students, and their families,” he said. GSTF committee vice-chair, Jamie Mannion, thanked those in attendance for their contribution to the fund. “It is tough to see the difficulties that some families must deal with,” he said. “The need throughout the board is extraordinary, and we thank you all for

Canada’s National Fishing Week runs from July 6 to 14
Recent rainfall means high water levels, flows News – As a result of significant rainfall received over the past few days, flows and levels have increased substantially in the western part of the watershed. As such, levels on the upper lakes will continue to remain high for at least the next week and any significant rainfall during that period may aggravate the current conditions. Water levels and flows along the lower Mississippi River will remain high as this water passes through the system. The Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) flood forecasting and warning
program monitors weather conditions and snowpack water content, estimates expected river flows and water levels and issues flood advisories or warnings as required. MVC provides early warning and continuous monitoring to municipal and provincial emergency response personnel through a flood event. Daily water levels and flows are available on the MVC website at www. mvc.on.ca. Submitted by Mississippi Valley Conservation.

In addition to being a major media event across Canada, National Fishing Week includes hundreds of grassroots fishing events for children, families and outdoor enthusiasts. Organizers recognize that fishing is one of the most affordable ways for families to escape the challenges of every day life and create lasting memories. Plus, recreational fishing is great for Canada’s economy. National Fishing Week is supported by Catch Fishing, a national program dedicated to encouraging Canadians to get outdoors and enjoy our angling heritage throughout the year. It is supported by federal, provincial and territorial governments, as well as hundreds of organizations and businesses that work hard to ensure sustainable fishing opportunities while safeguarding fish populations everywhere. To find out more about Catch Fishing and National Fishing Week, visit www.catchfishing.com. The Canadian Sportfishing Industry Association just released ‘Keep Canada Fishing – The Economic Facts About Recreational Fishing.’ Available at www.csia.ca, the document shows that recreational fishing is one of the top five outdoor activities in Canada and is an annual $8.3 billion industry. R0022184856_0704
Events – It’s finally here! Canadians are preparing to celebrate their angling heritage. National Fishing Week (NFW), July 6 to 14 is an annual event that celebrates one of Canada’s favourite recreational pastimes: fishing. But more than that, NFW celebrates the adventures families and nature lovers alike are finding on Canada’s countless waterways. Canada offers more than one million lakes, rivers and streams, three oceans and one of the most diverse natural environments on the planet. Fishing offers Canadians an opportunity to experience this vast landscape for themselves. Whether they’re seeking a little serenity, a getaway with family, or a heart-pounding adventure on the water, fishing offers it all. So far, preparations for National Fishing Week have been a huge success. Thousands of ‘Catch Fishing: Your Basic ‘How To’ Guide to Fishing in Canada’ booklets have been sent out to grandparents, parents, and children all over the country. The booklet can be ordered by visiting www.catchfishing.com and filling out an online form. Additionally, rod and reel giveaways are occurring at Canadian media outlets everywhere. Because of this, Canadians will have the knowledge and opportu-

CPHC, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville move begins Aug. 12 By DOREEN BARNES
News – The Community and Primary Health Care, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville’s move to the new building is scheduled to begin Monday, Aug. 12 with a domino effect – with all services, programs and departments in the new building a week later. This announcement came at the annual general meeting on Thursday, June 27 as guest speaker, engineer and presi-
dent of Graham Bird Associates, Graham Bird, gave an update on the capital project. Bird said it was a privilege to work with all the individuals associated with this CPHC project. “We are a couple of months from actually operating in the new facility,” said Bird. “We are several weeks away from people being picked up and moved from their present facilities into the new one.”
He referred to phase one which is the centre for the two organizations, CPHC and CPHC - Family Health Team. “The second part of the dream you will see later in a drawing as it is being sketched now,” said Bird, “with the apartments and respite care.” To manage and maintain the facility, Star Group International has been chosen. This company will be responsible for the operation, cleanliness, required maintenance, life cycle of programs and
security aspects. “Wills Transfer from town has been selected to help us get everybody up and get all the equipment up during the night, move it here so people can be
working one place one day and show up here at the new facility the next day,” indicated Bird. “Hopefully the effort here is to make a very seamless transition from what is, to the new.”

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
No good reason Ontarians losing green space to insect, weed infestations Editor’s note: The following letter is in response to a column (‘Provincial flower dominates landscape this spring’) by Jeff Maguire, which appeared in the May 23 edition of the EMC. DEAR EDITOR: Jeff Maguire did a great job of describing the state of green spaces across Ontario since a pesticide ban was implemented in 2009 in his recent column. I’d like to expand on some of the information he provided. When it comes to safety, all pesticides – whether it’s pesticides used by homeowners in their yard or by farmers on their crops – must be approved by Health Canada before they can be sold in Canada. This process involves a comprehensive set of over 200 tests and a review of all scientifically credible studies that exist to ensure that the product will not cause harm to people, animals or the environment. Healthy and well-maintained green spaces beautify urban environments, attract wildlife, help reduce noise pollution, produce oxygen, capture urban pollution and reduce the warming effect of hard surfaces like concrete and asphalt. In fact, one healthy lawn produces the cooling
effect of 8.75 tons of air-conditioning which is enough to cool about two homes for a year. Maguire isn’t alone in being fed up with the pesticide ban in Ontario. A poll of Ontario homeowners shows over half feel the Government of Ontario did not do the right thing by implementing a ban and they would rather have the ban scrapped or modified. The polling also found that many Ontarians are mixing potentially dangerous concoctions on their own or willfully breaking the law by using pesticides that have been banned to protect their lawns and gardens. The fact of the matter is that pesticides used on lawns and gardens are designed as tools to address specific pest problems infesting valuable landscapes. There’s no good reason that Ontarians are losing their green spaces to insect and weed infestations, especially since Health Canada says they can be safely used. Lorne Hepworth President, CropLife Canada
COMMENTARY
Supporting young entrepreneurs Editorials – There’s nothing like being your own boss and five young entrepreneurs from across Lanark County will find that out firsthand this summer. The Summer Company program, which mentors and educates young people in considering entrepreneurship as a viable career option, recently kicked off for the year. In its 13th year of encouraging youth to run their own businesses, the program is an initiative of the provincial government but is administered by the Small Business Advisory Centre for Smiths Falls/Lanark County. This summer, area residents should keep their eyes peeled at local farmers’ markets and craft fairs where they can purchase a handmade beaded European-style bracelet or molded beeswax candles and products. Or they can sample cool ice cream treats, pick up some firewood, or have a custom charcoal portrait created. One of the great bonuses about the Summer Company program is the variety of business opportunities youth embark on. This is something more youth between the ages of 15 and 29 should be exploring. Throughout the program, participants receive handson training and mentoring, to put them on the path towards success, which includes learning how to form your own business plan. There’s another big incentive to give Summer Company a try as well: students receive up to $1,500 to help with the start-up costs of their businesses, and an additional $1,500 once they return to school in September. Invaluable business advice, the opportunity to make money and learn the ins and outs of being your own boss is a concept worth supporting.
Young Mary always worried there wouldn’t be enough food Lifestyle – The sauerkraut barrel was just about empty in the summer kitchen. It has served us well since the early fall when the whole family spent many evenings shredding cabbage to fill it to the brim. The salt pork barrel was empty too, and had been thoroughly washed and set out on the back stoop to sun-dry. The smallest of the three barrels had long since given up the last pickled herring. Even the vegetables in the root cellar were getting scarce. Now, what were we to do, I wondered? Would we starve? It would be many weeks before we would have carrots and potatoes from the garden. Now I had something else to worry about. Back then, it seemed, I could find many issues to send me into a state of anxiousness. Mother said I was born with furrows in my brow, whatever that meant. And worrying if we had enough food to keep us alive was constantly on my mind this time of year. I took my concerns to my sister Audrey. She always seemed to have an answer for everything. At first she laughed
out loud when I asked her if we were about to starve since all the barrels that once held our daily sustenance were empty. Then she saw that I was sincerely worried and she took me to the old swing in the grape arbour to give me a long talk on how I was worried for nothing. At that very moment, she pointed out, wasn’t our bake table full of freshly baked bread? Weren’t there enough loaves there to last us most of the week when Mother would again bake up another batch? So there would always be sandwiches and always there would be bread pudding for dessert. And in the smoke house, wasn’t there slabs of back-bacon and roasts of pork, and sausage links, enough to feed half of Renfrew County? “Stop worrying, Mary,” she said. “We won’t starve.” And of course, my wiser sister Audrey was quite right. Soon there were sprigs of new lettuce showing in the garden. Enough to take to the dinner table and for lettuce sandwiches which I loved with a passion.

Fresh lettuce, with a spattering of sugar and vinegar between two slices of buttered freshly baked bread. Now, that was a treat! And one which I dearly loved. And then Audrey took me down into the dugout under the house. I had told her the last time I had gone down with the dish pan to bring up vegetables for supper, I had to dig away in the sand before I found a carrot. Audrey pointed to the shelves down there that for generations held preserves and pickles. And there on those shelves were enough glass jars, still full of beans in brine, onions hanging in mesh bags, and sealer after sealer of preserved raspberries, crab apples and wild blueberries.

“Now do you think we are starving?” Audrey asked. And of course, my much older, and much wiser sister was right. Just because the barrels in the kitchen were empty, there was still food aplenty to last us until the garden was ready. I could put my worries aside. And I recalled what my father always said when he was discussing the issues of the day: “It’s a poor farmer indeed, who can’t keep food on the table to feed his family.” Although not my favourite, we had as much milk to drink as we wanted. There was always a big jug of fresh milk in the ice box, and newly churned butter in glass bowls. Our hen house full of hens provided us with enough eggs for our own use, and with lots left over for Mother to peddle in Renfrew every Saturday morning. We could expect a chicken dinner every Sunday. Mother, long before we would set out for church, would have stuffed at least two fat birds and put them in the Findlay Oval oven. If there weren’t enough vegetables in the sand bin to tuck around the chickens, we ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM
made do with bowls of pickled beans or canned tomatoes from the cellar. Although Father never considered it a meal, Mother had what we all called her “everything goes into it” pot of soup simmering just about constantly on the back of the stove. Hulls of vegetables, anything left over from the dinner table, scraps of meat, leftover gravy…whatever she could find, went into the soup pot. Father, most nights, when he wasn’t too tired from dawn to dusk working in the fields, would sit down just before he fell into bed, and with a couple pieces of home made bread sponging up the soup, ate heartily of what he called “a wee bite before turning in.” No, on thinking about it, I worried for nothing. We wouldn’t starve on the farm just because the barrels were empty. Food was all around us, and there was always Briscoes General Store, where we could stop for maple cookies, a couple slices of bologna, and the basics like flour, tea and sugar. All we had to do was ask for it, and tell Mr. Briscoe, “just put it on our bill, please.” • 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.

Maberly area student winner of 2013 Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary Ramsay’s love for the outdoors has motivated her to take a demanding workload of courses in math, biology, and chemistry at St. John’s Catholic High School this year. She knows that this academic focus will help her in attaining her educational goal of becoming a conservation officer. Her summer experience includes working outdoors at a local provincial park. Teachers at her school have commented that she is “passionate about becoming a conservation officer, and even a short conversation with her makes this very evident. She has earned the respect of many teachers at this school and certainly the admiration of her peers.” The Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary Award is given annually by the MVFN to a local graduating
secondary school student going on to post-secondary studies relating to nature or the environment. The bursary fund was established in 2007 by friends and family of local naturalist, MVFN founding member, and retired educator Cliff Bennett on the occasion of his 75th birthday. The bursary is intended to assist local students who have a love and appreciation of the natural world in following this passion towards a career in environmental stewardship and conservation. The annual Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary is administered by the MVFN. Application forms and further details may be found on the MVFN’s website at www. mfvn.ca.

REGIONAL NEWS
Connected to your community
Raise a future guide dog or assistance dog in your home EMC News – Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking volunteers in the areas of Kemptville, Winchester, and Smiths Falls to provide loving homes for future guide dogs and assistance dogs. The volunteer position is called “Puppy Walking”, but walking is only one element of the program. To be a Puppy Walker, you must be home most of the day or obtain permission to take the pup or dog to work with you. You require access to a vehicle to attend veterinary appointments and training sessions. This is a 12 to 18 month commitment, raising and training the dog in your home, with the expectation for daily long walks in all weather conditions. Your role is to raise a ‘good dog’ until it is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind in Manotick, at which time you must be prepared to give up the dog, so that it may continue its journey as a guide dog or assistance dog. All food and veterinary expenses are provided by Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. This volunteer opportunity is perfect for retirees. However, it is suitable for many other people as well, including families with a stay-at-home parent, part-
time workers, shift workers with someone at home, business owners or employees who can take the dog to work, people who work from home, and college and university students. One adult must be responsible for the dog, but Puppy Walkers have included individuals, couples, and families with children. Past dog experience is an asset, but not necessary. New litters are expected in the next couple of months. You can start the application process now to take a puppy when it’s convenient to you between July and the fall of this year. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind was established as a registered charity in 1984. Since that time, Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has provided professionally trained guide dogs to Canadians who are visually impaired from coast to coast. In 2010, Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind launched an Assistance Dogs Division, which trains assistance dogs for individuals in eastern Ontario with mobility-related disabilities. Puppy Walking applications are assessed on an individual basis. You can obtain an application for this volunteer position by phoning 613692-7777 or email info@ guidedogs.ca.

Interest in baseball in Toronto is encouraging sign Lifestyle – They just passed the halfway pole in the 2013 Major League Baseball (MLB) season. In fact the unofficial midway mark comes Tuesday (July 16) when the 84th All Star game is played at Citi Field in Queen’s New York, home of the New York Mets of the National League (NL). To show you what a rare honour it is to host what is arguably the best all-star game in professional sports (in my opinion it is the best), this year marks only the second time the Mets will host the big game in their history. The team began play in 1962 and two years later their first home park, Shea Stadium, was the scene of the MLB’s mid-summer classic. Shea was demolished in 2009 to allow for additional parking at adjacent Citi Field, Mets’ new home. The all-star game will no doubt be the highlight of this season and perhaps many campaigns to come for Mets’ fans. Their ball club is struggling badly. Their owner lost a mint as a result of the truly prodigious Ponzi scheme crafted by one Bernie Madoff, the biggest fraud in American financial history. Mets are unable to pay the kind of salaries necessary to build a winning team in today’s big money MLB environment. Madoff, for the record, is serving a 150-year sentence for a crime which cost his investors an estimated $18 billion. One of the best lines I heard about Madoff’s equally impressive prison term was, “Yes, but he had a smart lawyer. He got his sentence cut in half!” This column is about baseball. I can also spin it into a travelogue, something many readers of this newspaper obviously enjoy based on my email. In Canada if you want to combine baseball at its highest level and travel, the only place to go is Toronto.
Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE
Last week, in the company of my adult son Craig, I did just that. We journeyed to Canada’s largest city to watch our favorite MLB team, the Detroit Tigers, play the Blue Jays. We travelled by train, a journey which was so fast and so enjoyable that it affirmed my feeling we are totally out to lunch in this country when it comes to mass transit. We should be building railway infrastructure, not ripping it up. Our train from Fallowfield deposited us at historic Union Station. A short taxi ride and we were at our hotel on Peter St. in the heart of Toronto. Peter St., a north-south artery, turns into ‘Blue Jays Way’ as it approaches Rogers Centre, the home of the Toronto baseball club. Standing in front of our hotel we could see a corner of the massive, domed stadium sitting promisingly at the foot of Blue Jays Way. It turned out to be an easy 15-minute stroll. Slow start In a column earlier this year I noted that Blue Jays’ off-season acquisitions had turned them into a contender in the highly competitive American League (AL) East Division. Unfortunately it hasn’t turned out that way. Jays’ starting pitching, the key to MLB success, hasn’t yet lived up to expectations. With their top pitchers struggling, the club’s offensive shortcomings have been exposed. Beyond sluggers like Edwin Encarnación and Jose Bautista,
Toronto batters haven’t been able to produce enough runs to win at the rate necessary for post-season qualification. At this writing they remain last in their division and they have the worst run differential (a very telling statistic) in the AL East. Detroit, on the other hand, won the AL pennant last September. They were swept by a very good San Francisco Giants’ team in the World Series. But with the best starting pitching in the league and offensive stars like Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder in the line-up, Tigers are again a genuine contender. Last week Craig and I saw clear evidence of Detroit’s ability. They lost the opener of the four game series at Rogers Centre 8-3, thanks mainly to a dominating pitching performance by Jays’ knuckle baller R.A. Dickey on Canada Day. We weren’t at that one but saw the next two contests. Tigers won the Tuesday night game 7-6 despite trailing 4-0 after one inning. Cabrera, the first MLB Triple Crown winner (batting average, home runs and runs batted in) in 45 years last season, belted a tape measure three-run homer to key a six-run Tigers’ second inning. Toronto tied it before Bengals scratched out the winning run in the eighth. The next night we watched Detroit win 6-2 behind highly regarded right hander Max Scherzer. He won his 13th game in as many decisions. That’s the best start to a season by a Tigers’ pitcher in the team’s 112-year history. The
OPP marine unit charges man with impaired boating News – The Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Marine Patrol Unit continues to assure the community that public safety remains the top priority for OPP officers patrolling local waterways. The Lanark County OPP Marine Patrol Unit had a strong presence out on Mississippi Lake over the Canada Day long weekend and was extremely proactive in their enforcement efforts to ensure the people in Lanark County community is kept safe. On Canada Day at approximately 8:30 p.m. the OPP Marine Unit was on patrol of Mississippi Lake when police observed a boat operating in excess of the speed limit which did not have any
navigational lights on and was causing a large wake in a wake restricted area. The Officer signalled the operator to stop but he failed to do so and sped off to a nearby dock in the Riverside Park area in Carleton Place. The operator of the boat was apprehended and arrested by ground units of OPP Officers working in concert with the Marine Unit. A 28-yearold Drummond/North Elmsley man has been charged with the following offences * one count - Impaired Boating – Contrary to Section 253(a) of the Criminal Code * one count - operate vessel over 80 milligrams – Contrary to Section 253(b) Criminal Code. * one count – operate pow-
er driven vessel at speed over 10km/hr within 30 metres of shore – Contrary to Section 2(7) of the Vessel Operation Restriction Regulations under the Canada Shipping Act. The operator has also had his driver’s licence suspended for a period of 90 days and a quantity of alcohol was also seized. The man was released on a promise to appear and is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Aug. 12 in Perth Provincial Court Criminal Division to answer to the charges. The OPP is serious about public safety and wish to remind everyone that there is a zero tolerance for those who would put “anyone” at risk or in harms way.
offensive hero was light hitting catcher Alex Avila. He launched an opposite field, three run home run in the second inning. The next day Detroit completed their season series with Toronto, romping past the struggling Blue Jays 11-1 to finish 5-2 against Jays. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Toronto. Between games we toured the Hockey Hall of Fame which is very worthwhile. What impressed us most (besides witnessing two Tigers’ victories) was the obvious renewed interest in the Blue Jays in Toronto. We were thrilled to support the ball club which, as Canadian baseball fans, we want to succeed. The Jays are Canada’s only MLB club and they are extremely important to the future of the game in this country. Except when they play Detroit, Craig and I are also Toronto baseball fans. We are hoping for a big second half turnaround although that may be a little ambitious. Jays
need to strengthen their everyday line-up in order to be contenders again. Some people complain about Rogers Centre saying it is too large and outdated. Personally I like the stadium, except for the very steep upper deck. We paid more and sat in the first level which was excellent. With the dome you never have to worry about rainouts and Toronto fans are among the most friendly, polite baseball supporters you’re likely to meet. Because Detroit is so close to Toronto thousands of Tigers’ fans journeyed to Rogers Centre for the series. Good seats are hard to come by in baseball mad Detroit. Despite wearing Tigers’ caps and shirts we were welcomed to the ball park. Sure, there was some good natured ribbing but that goes with the experience for visiting fans. Jays’ supporters are knowledgeable and most important they are far more plentiful this year than in any recent seasons. There were over
27,000 at the Tuesday game and nearly 30,000 the next night. Solid week night turnouts. For anyone who enjoys the game of baseball I highly recommend a visit to Rogers Centre. Toronto is a safe city, transportation links from eastern Ontario are good, accommodations near the ball park are plentiful and they’re also reasonable by big city standards. Obviously we hope Toronto is even more competitive in the second half. But there is now clearly light at the end of the tunnel for Jays’ fans. The team’s last playoff appearance was in 1993, the year Blue Jays won the second of back-to-back World Series. My lifelong love for the Detroit Tigers aside I sincerely hope there’s another MLB championship in the offing for Toronto soon!

Reminiscing about music and what makes Canada a great country Lifestyle – Having been retired a year now, the long weekends aren’t the same lure to the “getting away” necessity as they were when being a previous ‘weekday warrior’. After 30 years of running the roads trying to help people around the county, to all of a sudden stop has been quite an adjustment. Over the years, family, kids and family activities, work that included the intensity of sometimes coordinating many vulnerable people’s lives, giving back to community (because that’s what I was taught to do), sometimes via regional and provincial organizations; volunteer work, old timer hockey, darts and all the resulting scheduling to make it all work, definitely left its mark. After a while, one develops one’s life into a lifestyle that, thankfully, had what I needed to survive... a wonderfully supportive family who knew I always regrouped best with some live music, wherever located. Where many retirees are now moving out of the big cities, “into the country” or smaller communities, I realized I was already way ahead of the game. Without having to change locales, etc., I’m already living in a quiet, friendly, cultural oasis offering all I need to feel good. Perth provides my cultural variety in a friendly community with very formidable roots. ‘Make Haste Slowly’, the town’s motto, acknowledges the principles I feel comfortable with. I’m already in my own utopia. Compared to many cultures of people (Asian, East and West European, African, British Colonies, South America), Canada is but a baby. Our brief 146 years as a nation is a result of the assimilation of so many ethnic groups so naturally we are still affected by the chronicles that have evolved historically from previous homelands like Ireland and Scotland, especially in this area, including religious beliefs. I still hear people talk of the “Catholic side of town”. We’re just developing our own history. I’m so proud to be a Canadian and find it amazing our great country can assimilate with positive results, while other countries struggle with this in non-peaceful ways. Oh, we’re far from perfect (Aboriginal neglect, ecological abuses) but Canada is still the place to be and I’m grateful. Over the past Canada Day
weekend I helped my son provide sound for two provincial park productions. As a result I was reunited with a veteran musician friend and his two allies who continues to eek out a living utilizing his musical/theatrical skills in a variety of local opportunities so important to helping maintain and pass on our brief history through story and song to all ages. I realized how we, too often, get caught in the trendy tunes/ players of the day and sometimes we have to be reminded of how we got to where we are, the cultural history of the times which have prevailed. I was, through authentic music, reminded of how native and multicultural groups helped etch our limited history. From our farming, logging and mining camp beginnings, ethnic diversity was crammed together in them, often originated by necessity of the basics of a warm fire in a bunkhouse and working together for that family supporting pay check. These necessities all melded and left their mark in helping develop our cultural mosaic. Thanks to the good works and coordination of Beth Peterkin, each provincial park show brought a mixed bag of more than 100 primarily camper attendees. Some were seniors but more often it was hopeful young parents providing their offspring, from babes in arms to teens, the rare opportunity to hear about Canadian history via these government supported presentations. Where else are they going to be reminded of the successes and trials and tribulations of our predecessors? Were they aware of the historic mines and lumber camps and their resulting labour unrests, of Great Lakes fishing and other nautical histories so important to this country’s growth? Were they aware of the musical instrument lineage that prevailed through camps and ships? I was reminded this weekend of all the musicians who still share their musical gifts wher-
ever they can and as a result promote principles our “fore folk” (because there was a lot more than just “forefathers”) worked hard to establish and maintain. So, picture this…in the bush, perched on the shore with the background of a narrow, tree-surrounded lake being paddled on by the occasional neon-coloured canoe, we set up sound equipment at a small amphitheatre, all the while being serenaded by one of the musicians practicing his hammered dulcimer. Lovely music in a serene location at the amphitheatre of Murphy’s Point Provincial Park; sure beats a dank, dark arena somewhere. Freshwater Trade, a wonderfully multi-talented musical trio (Glen Caradus, Michael Ketemer, Ken Ramsden) played a mixture of historical instruments including sweet harmonic vocals, harmonica, guitars (one over a century old), banjo, penny whistle, “lumberjack piano” (hammered dulcimer), fiddle, some thigh slaps…all with captivating historical stories in period costumes. Other than the “intrusion” of our electronic enhancements, the authenticity and locale was complete. God bless these and all players who make their living offering their entertainment skills wherever they can. Our cultural history must be preserved and shared. It takes government funding to offer these historical type repertoires which hopefully educates our young future ancestors via community library presentations, schools, festivals, fairs or other venues such as this. And what a fun way to learn, by listening to stories of our history, doing action songs, singing along with a chorus or two. Another important part of our community is also supported by these musicians in offering entertainment to our elderly. When you’re 80+, where do you hear the music of your day? Via these historical musical troubadours and many other musicians, our seniors are reminded of their
roots. Familiarity with songs of their era brings satisfaction and hopefully sweet memories. In varying configurations with themselves and other artists these musicians play many nursing and retirement homes to appreciative audiences. A friend I recently spoke to plays at the various seniors homes and respectfully noted most could sing along with the songs but many couldn’t remember their name, which speaks heartily of the amazing impact music has in us all. Maybe it’s the reminder of our history, our roots and the struggles those before us endured to give us what’s envious to the rest
of the world that reminds me of what our Canada represents. Oh hell, it’s far from perfect but you know, it sure beats second place. And it’s people with principles before us that enabled us our enviable rights, freedoms and space. I question whether those altruistic principles direct the workings of our current governments. I’m certainly proud to be a Canadian. Through my old friend Ken Ramsden (of Rev Ken and the Lost Followers fame), I’ve been made aware of a unique historical theatrical experience here in the valley. Check out ‘There’s Hippies Up the Line!’ presented by Stone Fence Theatre, now in

Summer job money – how to make the most of it Manage Your Money
You’re the parent of a youngster with a first-time summer job–and that means he or she will be enjoying a brand new income stream. But what streams in can quickly stream out without good money management skills. Here are a few tips to help make the most of your youngster’s summer job money. An early wake-up call is best How your youngster will handle money as an adult depends on the habits he or she has learned from you growing up. Start early by motivating your youngster to become a regular saver and investor by setting a good example to follow. Immediate enjoyment isn’t best It’s tough to resist pervasive advertising and the ‘gotta have it’ emotion– but explain to your youngster that effective money management starts with always controlling expenses so they don’t exceed income. Help them create a realistic budget with measurable and attainable goals. Get right with the CRA If your youngster’s job results in a T4 (Statement of Remuneration Paid that is issued by an employer) he or she should file an income tax return because even if their income is below taxable levels, they will start accumulating
RRSP room that can be carried forward indefinitely. If your child is 19, he or she should also apply for the GST/HST credit on each tax return and will probably be eligible for quarterly GST/HST credit cheques. Be sure your youngster takes full advantage of the tax relief available to students1: • Scholarships and bursaries are not taxable when the student is entitled to claim the Education Tax Credit. • Interest paid on a student loan is eligible for a tax credit when the loan is part of a federal or provincial student loan program. • Moving expenses are also a tax deduction if the student moves more than 40 kilometres to be closer to school or to take a summer job. • Available tax credits can include the Canada Employment Credit, tuition fees for approved study course, an Education amount for each month of enrolment, a textbook credit, and a Public Transit Pass Credit. Obey the 10% rule Explain that he or she will enjoy a much richer tomorrow by always saving 10% of their
take-home pay. By doing so, he or she takes full advantage of the miracle of compound interest. Use this dramatic example: Invest $1 a day for 40 years at a 5% interest rate and they’ll have about $44,000!2 Now is the time to put your youngster on the path to a comfortable financial future. Sometimes an external informed opinion can help – so give your professional advisor a call.

The Algonquin land claim – parks and protected areas By ROBERT POTTS
News – The Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) have long held a way of life deeply rooted in conservation and ecological integrity. Environmental stewardship of land and resources has been an integral practice of the Algonquins since time immemorial. With the release of the Preliminary Draft Agreement-in-Principle (AIP) in December 2012, the AOO once again reaffirmed their desire to work with their partners and neighbours to ensure that ecological integrity is the first priority in the management of protected areas, specifically provincial parks and conservation reserves in the settlement area. The preliminary draft AIP proposes a number of elements to be reflected in a Final Agreement, some of which are highlighted below. Participation in protected area management planning The final agreement will provide that Ontario will appoint at least one person nominated by the AOO to the Ontario Parks board of directors. This representation will ensure that the voice of the AOO is heard, and that lessons and practices learned from years of sound management and living in harmony with the land and resources are shared. Should other boards be established related to protected areas in the settlement area, the AOO will also have representation. The preliminary draft AIP also proposes that the final agreement will set out three levels of Algonquin engagement in protected area management planning: Level 1: The AOO will review and comment on protected area management
• Plans and management statements prepared by Ontario. Level 2: The AOO, as members on the protected area planning teams, will participate in the development and amendment of management plans and management statements. Level 3: In Algonquin Provincial Park and 15 other identified provincial parks, the AOO and the protected area manager will work through an Algonquin planning committee to jointly develop, amend and examine management plans, management statements, secondary plans, natural heritage education programs and any other strategic plans for protected areas. Access to protected areas The final agreement will also deal with access roads, trails, use of motorized vehicles and other access issues in protected areas through protected area management planning processes that consider the maintenance of ecological integrity as well as the Algonquin interest in access to protected areas for harvesting. The AOO will work with Ontario Parks and the Algonquin Forestry Authority to develop forest management plans that deal with the construction and decommissioning of forestry roads and water crossings in Algonquin Provincial Park.
and the Algonquin way of life, while celebrating Algonquin culture. Fundamental to this Chapter of the Preliminary Draft AIP is the continued sharing of long-standing and effective conservation and management practices by the AOO with their partners. The AOO are committed to ensuring the vitality and future
prosperity of all provincial parks and conservation reserves within the settlement area, for the continued use of the AOO and our neighbours. This column is the third 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 jour-
ney. The next column will focus on the existing harvest management practices of the Algonquins of Ontario. For more information visit www. tanakiwin.com. Robert Potts is the Principal Negotiator and Senior Legal Counsel for the Algonquins of Ontario.

Safe boating council and OFAH team up to keep Ontario anglers safe on water EMC News – July 6 to 14 marks National Fishing Week in Canada. The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) want to remind anglers that wearing your lifejacket is even more important than wearing your ‘lucky fishing hat’. But they do share one trait. They both have to be worn to be effective! Many of those who don’t wear their lifejackets or personal flotation devices (PFD) believe that, since they are good swimmers, having them onboard and within easy reach is good enough. But a lifejacket stored under a seat or up in the bow will be of no help should the unexpected happen, like falling overboard while trying to net the catch. “More than half the recreational boats sold in Canada are used for fishing,” says Jean Murray, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. “And during National Fishing Week, the Canadian Safe Boating Council would like to urge all anglers not only to have
their lifejacket onboard their boat, but cottage, or at that favourite fishing spot At this important time of year, the This initiative is made possible to wear it.

Perth native takes on leading role at Shakespeare Festival Lifestyle – The role of Hamlet is like the Ironman. The role tests an actor like the race tests an athlete, and to take on either task, let alone to perform well, is a tremendous achievement. Over the last several months, actor Eric Craig has been preparing—training, if you will—to play the Prince of Denmark in the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival’s first-ever production of Hamlet. “It’s very humbling,� says Craig. “It’s an amazing opportunity, for sure.� Born and raised in Perth, Craig graduated from the music theatre program at the University of Windsor a decade ago and has spent most of his career since in Toronto, so when he takes the stage in Prescott this summer, it will feel a bit like a homecoming. “It’s neat to come home and do something like Hamlet,� he says. In his younger years, the former St. John Catholic High School student was a fixture in local community theatre. On stages in and around Perth is where Craig began learning the craft which would eventually provide him both a living and great deal of personal satisfaction. “Perth is pretty good for theatre,� he says. “There’s a lot going on for young people.� Since leaving Windsor and setting up shop in Toronto, Craig has performed in a slew of theatre productions, both large and small—including Beauty and the Beast, Waiting for Godot and Little
Shop of Horrors. And when he’s not on stage, he’s in front of the camera, performing in television shows such as Flashpoint, or in commercials for, among others, Best Buy, Rickard’s and Mazda. Though his 30-second spot in a recent Best Buy commercial probably earned him more money than he will make all summer in Prescott, directing some last-second shoppers to the perfect Christmas present in aisle three will not compare to the thrill of tackling the theatre’s most daunting – and rewarding – role. “It’s so iconic,� he says. “The ideas you get to speak on stage are so beautifully profound.� Hamlet’s reputation as first among theatrical roles is well-deserved, for it takes an actor of considerable substance and sensibility to do justice to the complexity and eloquence of the words the character speaks. More than that, the part is huge. The words may be beautiful and iconic, but there are a plenty of them, too. “You get to be part of the telling of so much of the story,� says Craig. It seems as if every line Hamlet speaks is thick with meaning, not only in the weight imparted to the words by Shakespeare himself but also in the precedent set by the many illustrious actors who have played the role before – from Laurence Olivier to John GielSubmitted photo gud to Kenneth Brannagh. “It’s very profound material,� says Actor Eric Craig practices his swordsmanship while preparing for the Craig. “You discover more and more demanding title role in the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival’s pro- about it the more time you spend with it.� duction of Hamlet.

And since Craig has had to spend so much time with Hamlet, his role in the other play the Shakespeare Festival is staging this summer will be quite small. Craig will play â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Redâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; George MacDonnell in Maid for a Musket, an original play based loosely on Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Labours Lost. Diving right in Craig certainly hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been eased into his first experience with the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival, tasked with portraying both Hamlet and one of Prescottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prominent historical figures, but he is happy to be spending his summer in the Fort Town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have heard so many good things about the Shakespeare Festival,â&#x20AC;? he says, noting that the company has earned an admirable reputation within the close-knit Canadian acting community. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the quality of the productions or the calibre of people working on the plays that has given the festival its good name; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the people who come to see the shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely remarkable how supportive the community is,â&#x20AC;? says Craig. Both Hamlet and Maid for a Musket will no doubt draw large crowds to the Shakespeare Festival once again this summer and tickets are already selling briskly. Hamlet opens on Wednesday, July 17 and Maid for a Musket opens on Saturday, July 13. Both have previews the night before. Information on tickets can be found at the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stlawrenceshakepeare.ca.

News – Canadian transplant patients have new hope as the Harper government announced recently, the launch of a new national transplantation research program that will develop new knowledge and health care practices that address barriers to tissue and organ donation and will improve health outcomes for transplant recipients in Canada. The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health made the announcement at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. The minister was joined by Dr. Lori West, director of the new Canadian National Transplant Research Program (CNTRP), and Hélène Campbell, a double lung transplant recipient and co-founder of the Give 2 Live Campaign. “Our government recognized the need for a national program to help Canadians who have received or who are waiting for tissue and organ transplants,” said Minister Aglukkaq. “That is why we committed to fund this research program and we are delivering on this commitment to Canadians. This program will provide important information to guide the development of policies and programs that increase tissue and organ donation in Canada and enhance the survival and quality of life of Canadians who receive transplants.” The CNTRP brings together over 105 investigators across nine provinces. The program will transform the field of transplantation by addressing the barriers to donation therefore increasing the number of available organs, improving the quality and viability of donated organs and grafts, and enhancing long-term survival and quality of life of transplant patients. The CNTRP is the first program in the world to unite and integrate the solid organ transplant, bone marrow transplant and the donation and critical care research communities together in a groundbreaking national research endeavour. “The transplant and donation communities across Canada have come together to create a truly unique collective research program that will foster innovation, creativity and collaboration in new ways that will increase our ultimate effectiveness,” said Dr. Lori West, director of the CNTRP and Professor of Pediatrics, Surgery and Immunology at the University of Alberta. “This integration will improve donation and transplant programs across the country and will impact the lives of transplant patients and those awaiting transplant.” “Canadian transplant centres and organizations are working together, for patients like me,” said Hélène Campbell, double-lung transplant recipient and organ donation advocate. “The results of this program will be groundbreaking for all patients.” Funding for this program is being provided through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) in partnership with Canadian Blood Services, Canadian Liver Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Canada, Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé, Genome British Columbia, and the Kidney Foundation of Canada. The Harper government remains focused on four priorities, as outlined by the Prime Minister, that Canadians care most about: their families, the safety of our streets and communities, their pride in being a citizen of this country, and of course, their personal financial security.

Girl Guides’ award is astronomical, odds-wise
Mayor congratulates girls on their ‘awesomeness’ By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Isabel Fenn and Jordyn Deveau Yurich are more than just one in a million – they are one in a quadrillion (yes, that’s fifteen zeros). The odds of two Girl Guides, from the same branch, in the same year, being honoured with a national award from the Guides, was certainly astronomical, but not surprising, to local Guide leader Lorraine Fenn. She told Smiths Falls town council on Tuesday, July 2 that the odds of even one girl winning such an award was one in 10,000. “Smiths Falls has the greatest record of doing this in Canada,” she said. “There is no unit that has ever done this, even in different years. We are truly a magnificent unit here in Smiths Falls. I am sure we will keep up a winning streak here in Smiths Falls because we have wonderful girls. I am very proud of all of our girls.” Yurich won the Girl Greatness Guides Confidence Award while Isabel Fenn won the Girl Greatness Pathfinders Making a Difference
Award and, to add to their accolades, they were also honoured by Mayor Dennis Staples and all members of council. “You do amazing things every day,” said Staples to Isabel Fenn before conferring her with her certificate. “You leap into action every day… (and) bring a little bit of awesomeness into life. She is very kind and giving in nature.” Isabel has also donated her hair to the Locks of Love program regularly since she was six. When she found out that her grandmother was sick with cancer, she set up a lemonade stand to raise funds for cancer research. She is also a friend to children with special needs, making sure that they never have to feel socially isolated. “She always has a smile on her face and a kind word,” said Staples. On top of this, Isabel also helps run the breakfast club at her school. “She is always the first to ask, ‘How can I help?’” said Staples. While Yurich is in a wheelchair, she used her

Inset, Lorraine Fenn tells members of Smiths Falls town council to take a good look at Isabel’s national award, since the odds of not seeing one again are statistically pretty high, during her remarks on Tuesday, July 2. Isabel (with Mayor Staples), is the winner of the Girl Guides’ of Canada’s Girl Greatness Pathfinders Making a Difference Award.

from the current system to the MAGS system would need to be examined, MAGS ability to process all of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waste would need to be carefully scrutinized. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are aiming to make the entire project cost neutral,â&#x20AC;? said Bush. On the other hand council was in
agreement that eliminating landfill is a very attractive and timely proposition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be critical for us to look at MAGS since all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required from us right now is support in principal for Phase I,â&#x20AC;? said Staples. The pilot would have three phases. Phase I would be the installation of one MAGS unit to process waste from the
town hall and public garbage cans in the parks etc. Phase II would be to expand the facility to a 6,000 to 9,000 square-metre facility with 10 MAGS units capable of taking Smiths Falls off-grid for waste management. Phase III would be to develop manufacturing plant on Air Care Drive, to
meet demand for MAGS units at other communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we first started talking to Terragon we were looking at the manufacturing and product demand, so location brought us to the region, and a workforce that was supportive of this type of endeavour brought us to Smiths Falls,â&#x20AC;? said Bush.
Their initial dealing with town staff has since convinced Edgley, Bush and Associates that Smiths Falls was a great choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It became more than just a handy place and became a real pleasure to do business in this town,â&#x20AC;? Bush concluded.

Rideau Rural Roots Festival is where memories are made By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
Events - With a dream line-up of musicians and entertainers and an incredible number of activities for every age, The Rural Roots Festival opening in Smiths Falls on July 20 promises to be a weekend to remember. Best of all, admission for adults is just $3 and free for children, and if that’s not enough a number of area business are giving away free passes to the festival right now. While there have been several festivals with various names held on that same weekend in the past, this one could be the keeper, if only because it was inspired by this community. “In looking at our community, its diversity, its rich history, and the things that make us unique – for example I know why my family came here what they left behind, what they found here and at what cost. I just thought we need to tell our stories in our own unique way through song, dance and celebration,” said Jim MacPherson, festival coordinator. Diversity is definitely the name of the game at this festival. The line-up explores a wide selection of ‘roots’ whether South American, Asian, European, Irish or Scots. “Most of these bands or performers have a connection with Smiths Falls, after all, it’s that whole six degrees of separation thing,” shrugged MacPherson. He has managed to entice performers and teachers to lend their talents, energy and enthusiasm in a mind-boggling array of music and activities.
“I drive through Smiths Falls every summer and I am coming to this festival because it is about community and I value community,” said Cesar Ricardo, who will be performing Caribbean and Spanish music on Saturday and offering a children’s workshop on Sunday. Music lovers cannot be disappointed with 19 bands both local and out of town, to entertain all weekend. Bands like Endless Summer from Toronto and our own Doherty Brothers and the Clyne Brothers Band from Quebec. There will be tribute bands, classic rock, blues, gospel, Caribbean and Spanish tunes, Bluegrass, a fiddler as well as a Celtic band. Entertainers like Pete Eastmure, recently featured on CBC will round out the musical line-up. “We’re looking forward to playing the Rural Roots Festival with the Welldigger Band. Connecting with people through music is one of the joys of life and the band’s really excited to be part of this really great event,” said Eastmure. With the help of Peter Au and his connections to the Ottawa Chinese Cultural Centre, a Chinese troupe of 50 singers, dancers and drummers will be performing throughout the day on Saturday and could make “a possible surprise appearance on Russell Street.” “One group does a drum dance and another group does all the other forms of dance from traditional to modern,” said Au. If that’s not enough there’s a troupe of Portuguese Cultural Dancers showcasing a variety of traditional dance on Sunday.
Pete Eastmure will perform at the Rideau Rural Roots Festival next weekend. “It was a bit of a networking thing, I talked to Peter Au and it grew from there,” said MacPherson. That’s just the tip of the iceberg as adult entertainment goes. For the more active adults there are cardboard box boat races and the Amazing Race which is still accepting registration. “We need two more teams, each team is typically made up of two people unless one of the team members requires assistance in which case there can be three on a team,” said MacPherson. There will also be workshops for adults including square foot gardening with Carolyn Klickermann from Almonte, Chinese painting with Ottawa’s Hu Hang. “Hu Hang is an accomplished Chinese artist, who does calligraphy and abstract
painting, fusing both traditional Chinese ink painting with a Western abstract approach, offering the integration of East and West techniques. She will be making a presentation and giving a demonstration of her work at 10:30 a.m. in the Kinsmen Community Pavilion,” explained Au in an email The workshops aren’t confined to the adults only; there are a couple for children as well, including a free percussion workshop with Lois Siegel and a music workshop with Cesar Ricardo. “We will be teaching the children a Spanish song, my wife and I, we both love children and I was also a teacher in Cuba before I switched to music full time,” said Ricardo Looking for quieter entertainment,
don’t worry; MacPherson has that covered too, with Bill Dobson showcasing collectibles and historic antiques at his museum on Matheson Road. Then there is Chris Uhlig who will show off a few gems from his extensive collection of antique cameras while offering visitors young and old an opportunity to dress up in period costume and have their photos taken for a nominal fee. That’s only the adult entertainment, there’s a ton more for children and the young at heart, including a steel electric train, a puppeteer and the Junkyard Symphony, which demands audience participation. A ventriloquist and a clown and magic show are just a few more of the events planned for children. This well-organized festival has been nearly a year in the planning and has taken a Herculean fundraising effort. “Mostly it involved speaking at service clubs, area municipal councils and filing grant applications – which can be like throwing pasta at the wall and hoping it sticks!” said MacPherson. In the end, the Town of Smiths Falls, Tourism Ontario, Valley Heartland and a number of area businesses were generous and supportive, he said. “We’re strongly connected in this community,” said Hugh Colton, from Town and Country Chrysler, a major sponsor. “It’s a give back to this community and I believe in Jim, he’s passionate and can deliver.

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO - JULY 8, 2013
The directors of the proposed Ottawa and Morrisburg Electric railway are fighting amongst themselves and now the public will know if there is anything to the scheme. Smiths Falls is to have a big demonstration on Saturday the 12th. The Orange Lodges from all the surrounding country are coming and as many other will come who do not belong to the orders. Special trains will be run from every direction over the C.P.R. and the Victoria will run an excursion from Portland. A half dozen brass bands will be here and innumerable fife and drum bands. The parade in the afternoon is expected to be the biggest ever seen here. A lawn social will be held Wednesday evening, July the 9th, on the grounds of School Section No. 16 Numogate. Good platform for dancing and excellent music will be furnished throughout the evening. Dancing will commence at 8 o’clock. Admission, including dinner, is 25 cents. 50 YEARS AGO - July 11, 1963 Indications on the local labour scene at the present time suggest that the economic bubble, expanding gleefully for the past 18 months, will burst this fall. Local contractors, the public works department, and the National Employment Service, are of the opinion that the honeymoon will be over by August and the labour picture will return to normal.

Psychic medium exposes true self Lifestyle – I’ve always been intrigued by the mystical: Tarot cards, crystals, ruins, palm readings and the like. I’ve been to my share of psychics over the years, many of whom were not as intuitive as they let on. My cat has more insight than some people claim to be. Even my own intuition is pretty good on most days – I’m a Pisces too, which helps… or doesn’t. I’m an emotional beast at the best of times, and a perceptive and dreamy sort the next. So, why would I, or anyone, want to visit a psychic? Because, they may have information that can help me live my life to the fullest! I want to know about love, money, jobs, family and health issues, and all the rest of it! Ya, OK. But what if we already have that ability to see into our own futures? What if it was as easy as not lighting that cigarette because it will cause cancer? That’s pretty enlightening, isn’t it? I mean, I really needed to see a psychic to tell me that I, after smoking a deck a week (yes, a week) for 15 years was going to cause cancer. Heck, I knew that already, so I quit… all on my own, without a psychic telling me to do that. I did it years ago. A girlfriend of mine has a psychic gift (she calls it a curse some days) and over the past umpteen years, I’ve been privy to some pretty
25 YEARS AGO - July 13, 1988 A Smiths Falls native who sued the United Church for wrongful dismissal has won what could be a landmark case. Rev. Donald McCaw, who was removed as minister of the Ormond Memorial Church in North Bay in 1984 was wrongfully fired from the job, the Ontario Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday, July 5. The Rideau Valley District Health Council will soon release the Adult Community Health Survey, which gives some grim statistics on the health of those living in the Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville tri-county area. Perhaps the most startling statistic in the survey, completed for the council last winter by Jo Harris, is the number of young men who died in car crashed between the years 1979-83. The number is well above the provincial average for traffic deaths among young males. 10 YEARS AGO - July 9, 2003 Pictured on the front page of the July 9 issue of the Record News were Smiths Falls youngsters Tyrese Morgan, Brooklyn Lepage, Courtney St. Aubin and Dustin St. Aubin waiting patiently for the Canada Day Parade to pass by at the corner of Beckwith and Main, Tuesday July 1. Canada Day events centred on Main Street that year with musical entertainment throughout the morning and afternoon. Compiled by Desmond Devoy
LAURIE WEIR Weir View outlandish and amazing things. I am not only a believer, but I crave her input and beg her at times to help me out with situations that are next to impossible to solve with my own resources; read: my brain. I’ve always had her to count on, to help me through the many problems of life. Little did I know that she wasn’t using her psychic ability at all… she was reflecting – or directing me to use my own intellect to solve my own problems. Isn’t that interesting? That hit home recently as I befriended a psychic medium at a spiritual church last fall and this month, he’s doing a show in Kingston. Some of you may have read a story about Matthew Stapley, formerly of Carleton Place, who now lives in Ottawa. He was great to chat with me informally last week and gave me permission to turn it into a story for our newspaper. I have been to his place in Ottawa and we have gone out for lunch. What was really cool for me to see, was Matthew in his element –
just hanging out in a pub, having some fish and chips, and some random guy came up to us and started chatting. He asked me what I did for a living; I told him. He looked at Matthew and asked him, “I talk to dead people,” he says. As my dear cousin Angela says, “His cheese fell off his cracker.” What the guy didn’t know is that Matthew had a message from random guy’s dead fatherin-law, and he delivered it, tactfully. The guy – who was clearly a non-believer in psychics, not just my friend specifically – could only walk away from our table, shaking his head, smiling. He even shook Matthew’s hand for the advice and guidance he received. “I don’t tell people unless they ask,” Matthew says. “But if they ask, and I have a message to deliver, then I do it.” Matthew had a message or two to deliver to me, which was along the same line as my gal pal – you have it in you to succeed in whatever you do. Inspire others, cherish the gifts you do have and explore the world around you. Don’t wait for others to make you happy; you have your own gifts – use them. Despite all the messages of hope, faith and love from my two favourite psychics, I still can’t wait for Matthew’s show in Kingston on July 26, 7:30 p.m. at the Marriott Inn. I’ve got ring-side séance seats.

VOICE hosts audition Friday in Crosby
Taking a love for karaoke to the senior version of Canadian Idol By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@theemc.ca
News - While karaoke can certainly be fun, it isn’t often that it morphs into a new career. It has though, for Rideau Lakes resident Tony Davy. The retired federal employee is now singing at venues all over eastern Ontario as often as twice a day, nearly every day some weeks and occasionally getting paid for it, too. “I was always able to sing, but never had the opportunity – then when I moved out here I thought I’d try karaoke – the first time was in Perth, and that’s how I got into it,” says Davy. That was almost 15 years ago, but the response he got from that first attempt encouraged him to keep going. Then on June 20, Davy placed first at the Chartwell Senior Star competition held in Brockville. “It’s kind of like a seniors version of Canadian Idol, there’s an application process and auditions,” says Davy. This was the eighth annual competitive series with more than 60 events held across Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. They also hold a similar but separate series in Quebec. During the regional competitions, contestants, all of whom must be at least 65 years young, are given a maximum of five minutes to sing a song, play an instrument or both. Each Senior Star competition is adjudicated by a panel of three judges, made up of people from the local music industry, and this year there were 14 competitors in Brockville. “I enjoyed them (the contestants) all,” says Todd Cook, general manager at Rosedale, who attended the event. “For them to get up and sing – they’re all winners in my book.”
The Senior Star competition wasn’t Davy’s first and certainly won’t be his last. “I’ve come in second and third a few times and have a collection of trophies, but this is my inaugural first place win,” he says. Entering that competition took some courage to say the least. “It was a bit of a challenge to try it, because they had given me a CD of previous winners and as I listened I realized that some of these people had as much as 40 years experience on stage - but I decided to just have fun,” says Davy. He chose to perform the Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody. The next step will be to find out if he made the final cut. Each Senior Star competition is video and audiotaped, so that the recording of the top two winners from each region can be sent to Chartwell’s head office in Toronto. Once there, the 10 best performers will be selected to go on to a national competition to be held at Scotiabank Convention Centre in Niagara Falls on Nov. 5. If Davy makes that cut, he will be performing in front of host Dinah Christie and a panel or three Canadian judges selected from the music industry. The grand prize at the Nationals is $5,000. He won’t know if he made it until sometime in August. In the meantime Davy will continue to entertain at senior homes in the region, including a gig at Van Horne Manor in Smiths Falls on July 20. He’ll also be competing at Voice of the Rideau in Westport this August, which opens auditions Friday night in Crosby. “There are so many professionals out there that have been doing this all their lives,” chuckles Davy. “But I don’t mind, I do it for fun.”
the finals kick off the morning of MUSICwestport on Aug. 17 at the Cove Inn, Westport. MUSICwestport, a day long free music festival, is celebrating its seventh year. Last year’s winner of the Voice of the Rideau were Raymond Billiald from Smiths Falls (adult) and Abby Stewart from Kingston (youth).
There are three age categories and cash prizes for the top voices. Categories include adult, 18 and over; youth, 12 to 18 years and children, under 12. There were 14 singers who took part last year. Visit www.westportartscouncil.ca to register or for more information.

News – Smiths Falls’ service delivery review (SDR) could include recommendations for contracting out services. In a speech before a special committee-of-the-whole meeting of town council on Tuesday, July 2, the town’s interim chief administrative officer, Steve Fournier warned that nothing within reason was on or off the table regarding saving money and doing things better at town hall.

Coun. Dawn Quinn should lead on this report. “We could hire a consultant to come in and have things done within a year,” said Fournier. “My fear is that it (the report) would be shelved. We all have an investment in this.” He also urged that any changes that are implemented be announced to staff internally first, “before they read about it in the paper.”
R0012122312/0530
R0012192865_0704
Other considerations Other considerations to sift through include: “What’s nice, what’s discretionary, what’s mandatory.” He also cautioned against using too many comparisons. While they can be helpful, they may also be misleading – what may work in one community, might not be good for another, and vice versa. “It is critical that you get as close as possible to comparing apples to apples,” said Fournier. “Select comparators you can feel good with.” Along with the three questions above, and the six special steps, Fournier had another bunch of questions for council that would be looked at in the SDR: “What do we do well? What can we do better in terms of outcomes? Are there things that we can do better without increasing costs? You can’t pick favourites in this process because the facts are in front of you.” Even if something is mandatory, a municipality can still look at ways in which the mandate can still be met, while doing it in a more efficient way. “The most valuable part of this organization is our staff,” said Mayor Dennis Staples. “Most organizations that are successful do these kinds of things.” “In terms of governance, I don’t think that there is a lot of fat,” said Coun. Ken Graham. “(But) there are different demands now. I think that the expectations of the community are changing.” “We have an opportunity here to deliver change, big change, in how we do business,” said Coun. Shawn Pankow, noting any realized savings should be

“No hair is too fine to split, or no stone too far to turn over. You don’t have to put everything out to contracting,” said Fournier, but “some low-hanging fruit,” can be handled that way. But Coun. Dawn Quinn was quick to point out that the review was not going to gut, slash, and burn town services. “I do not want staff to think that this is a witch hunt, that we are out to cut positions,” said Quinn. “Let’s find efficiencies so that we can do the things to draw people to the town.” Even Fournier hastened to add that the SDR would not be a silver bullet, and that it should not be “seen as a saviour but certainly seen as one solution.” In a former life as the CAO of another municipality, back in 2005, Fournier was praised by his political bosses: “You’ve done a good job with the download,” of services from the province. But there was a ‘but’ in there, sure enough. “Now that you have all of this stuff running…can you tell us how well it is operating?” Fournier recalls being asked at the time, “Are there more efficient ways of doing this?” “It’s not magic,” he added, noting that there are six steps to the process. “It’s not just about cutting costs. This process is not all about that. That is just a part of it.” 1. Get organized. 2. Establish performance outcomes and service standards. 3.Understand and evaluate current performance: “How does the current performance compare to your performance targets?” 4. Evaluate your options, like considering internal improvements. 5. Where determined, select alternative service providers. 6. Implement the report. Some communities he has seen, though, like Brockville and Windsor, have put cutting costs at the fore of their SDR. While Fournier stressed that this is not the case in Smiths Falls, whatever the priority is, “it should be announced up front.” An internal management team will help carry out the SDR, with direction from council. “They are in the trenches, they know the work, they know what can be improved,” said Fournier, though he added that does not mean that outside help cannot be called upon to offer an outsider’s view. “Sometimes, as managers, we spend too much time in the trench,” losing sight of the bigger picture. But Fournier urged that the managers

Fournier promised a base report to council within a few weeks for council’s approval, and while he felt that the first major round of changes could be made as early as two months after the initial report, realistically, it would take within six months to fully implement the recommendations.

Events - Songwriters, poets and storytellers of all ages are invited to attend a writers workshop at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, July 20 and 21 in the Kinsmen building at Lower Reach Park. The workshop is part of the Rideau Roots line-up of things to do. The workshop will be presented by Vine Rhymes, Smiths Falls & Area Songwriters, Poets & StoryTellers. It will be conducted in an informal setting similar to the group’s monthly meetings. Whether you are a novice or a writer with many years experience, you’re bound to enjoy and benefit from sharing with others of like mind.
Submitted by Portland on Rideau Historical Society.
Events - On Sunday, July 14 the Portland on the Rideau Historical Society (PRHS) is hosting a walking tour of the village with narration on the history of many of the century plus buildings forming part of the community. Tour guide and narrator is Doug Bond who has worked to produce the brochure “Heritage Tour of Portland” and written a paper on A Perspective of Portland. The tour will start at 1:30 p.m. in the Portland United Church parking lot on Queen Street and is anticipated to take about three hours. Bond has advised that the tour will be about 1.2 km in length and with only moderate hills to climb. He will take the time to point out many of the features of homes, stores, churches and buildings of commerce that we overlook in our daily routine. The tour will provide insight into who built the facilities and some of the finer architectural features included in the structures. At the end of the tour, there will be light refreshments and a casual discussion in the Friendship Room of the church. There is no rain date, however, if it should happen to rain, rather than walking the route, Bond will give a slide presentation on the main points of interest. Also mark the date of Saturday, Aug. 3 on your social Calendar, as the PRHS will be hosting the Admiral Kingsmill Sail Past & Salute in conjunction with Portland’s annual chicken barbecue and live music in Hanna Park. The barbecue will start serving at 4:30 p.m. with music in the park commencing at 6 p.m. You’ll have opportunities to engage in mini writing exercises and there will be ample discussion time for all. The workshop promises to be a great way to hear and share the obstacles encountered by other writers and a means to explore ways of dealing with issues such as mental blocks. In a comfortable environment, you’ll have the opportunity to present your material and hear compositions by others writers. Vine Rhymes monthly meeting will follow the Saturday workshop and members hope you will stay to learn more about the club. You’re also welcome to visit Vine Rhymes’ display

THANK YOU From Family of Shannon Learmonth (McPhail) We would like to take this opportunity to extend a huge thank you to all who have helped to carry us along this most difficult journey we have been on. Over the past 12 years, as our daughter Shannon fought her courageous battle, we have been touched by the generosity of so many. There simply are no words …. It would be hard to recall all who have supported us, but it most certainly includes our families, friends, co-workers, fellow farmers, members of various organizations to which we belong, business associates, neighbours, doctors, nurses, specialized care providers, and complete strangers. During the last 4 months, since Shannon was hospitalized, your acts of kindness have left us in tears … often. Visits, phone calls, texts, emails, flowers, meals, hugs, and help here on the farm, have allowed us to manage our family, our business, and our need to be by Shannon’s side. Your donations to the Learmonth Family Trust Account have allowed Shannon’s family to manage their financial matters throughout these past few months. Donations to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada will provide research dollars which we hope can improve the lives of others. Please know that we could not have survived this without you, and although the sadness is still very intense, we are thankful that we have 36 years of amazing memories. Shannon’s beauty and zest for life will be with us forever, in our hearts, and in the warm embrace of her husband Adam and her young daughter Penelope. “From the bottom of our heavy hearts, Love Harold and Shelley McPhail and family

WOOLSEY, William “Lance” – December 22, 1948 - July 10, 2012 “We loved with a love that was more than Love”. What started with friendship ended in true love. My Dearest Lance, They say that life will never be the same, that is so true. Each and every day, I think of you in a way that is closest to my heart. You walk beside me with each and every step I take making sure that life will go on for me. It has been so hard to imagine life without you, as your great strength and determination throughout our 16 years was amazing. You fought against all odds with your health, but never once complained. Your warmth, unconditional love, kindness, gentleness and amazing work ethic were your most genuine qualities. You loved your children more than anything but you also loved my children equally. This shows the immense love you held in your heart. Alaina and Austin turned 2 in June, and Nola Marie was born Jan. 18, 2013. Logan and Ella send their love to their Grandpa Perth. Each and every one of us miss you more and more each day. I always said to you, “Lance, tell me you love me: and you would say, “I love me”, “not you, me”, and then you would say “I love you my Patsy”. I listen to your song every day, “A Woman Like You” by Johnny Reid, and the other day, I heard this song “If I could have anything, anything, just to kiss your lips, one more time,” and to tell you how much I really adore and love you. “To the World you may be one Person, But to One Person you are the World”. Eternally loved by your wife, Patricia Hendry-Woolsey Lovingly remembered by your children Chris (Jessica), James (Shelley), Justin (Stefanie), Amanda (Bruce), Kalem (Celine). Your grandchildren, Logan, Ella, Alaina, Austin and Nola send their love and kisses. Remembered by your brother, Reg Woolsey
~
Dad, You have been gone a year now and we miss you so much. I think of you every day and you will always be in my heart. Alaina sees your picture on the wall and says, Grandpa Lance! I tell her about you all the time. I wish you were here to watch her grow up, but I know you are watching from above. Life is not the same without you. Love you forever and ever your “Bear, Bruce and Alaina bees”.
BARBER, Dorothy Kathleen – In loving memory of a dear wife, who passed away July 12, 2003 I once had something special, That money couldn’t buy, I had a very special wife, Who had to say good-bye. They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way I feel. For no one knows the heartache That lies behind my smiles, No one knows how many times I have broken down and cried. When I feel so lonely, And tears will fill my eyes, I think of you at peace, And know I shouldn’t cry. So I hide my heartache, As you would want me to, And when I cry my tears alone, Nobody hears but you. Today and tomorrow my whole life through, I will always love and cherish you. Alf

New leadership at Storm Internet Services boosts revenue News - Established in 1996 and re-energized by an experienced tech-sector management team in 2010, today Storm Internet Services Inc. is an Ottawa success story that prides itself on local call centre staff that picks up the phone and provides real answers, no fixed contracts, and tailored solutions. Privately owned and profitable, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue has grown 40 per cent over the last 24 months. DSL and fibre customer growth is up 50 per cent, wireless customer growth is up 100 per cent, and the number of employees is up 40 per cent to 40 people over this period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are keying into everything from mild disaffection to overt rage at how large Internet Services Providers go about their business,â&#x20AC;? says Dave Chiswell, Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of cookie-cutter service templates and offshore call centres that specialize in putting customers on hold. In that sense Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the anti-ISP. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rural residential customer who needs more bandwidth for a Virtual Private Network, or mid-size companies with specific Internet or hosting requirements, we listen carefully and respond quickly. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our difference.â&#x20AC;? While wireless and DSL residential Internet services are a vital business component, currently 50 per cent of Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business comes from hundreds of commercial customers that rely on innovation, flexibility and dependability. They seek services ranging from Wireless Networks, Fibre, DSL, and Wi-Fi for indoor and outdoor corporate and cultural events, to various hosting services and server co-location. These customers, that include everything from coffee shops, car dealerships and large construction companies to government agencies and embassies, praise Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agility and willingness to provide customized solutions for non-standard Internet services. In 1996, when the scream of a dial-up modem
barn roof to a silo and then to the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home or business. In 2011 Storm made a bid to provide more rural wireless infrastructure under the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN). This is a multi-milliondollar project to bring rural broadband to 95 per cent of homes and businesses in Eastern Ontario outside of Ottawa. With funding assistance from the Royal Bank of Canada, the Business Development Bank of Canada, Export Development Canada, and Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC). Storm won the bid to upgrade wireless services in Lanark, and the Ottawa Valley South areas of the project.
CAO Dave Chiswell was associated with wired-only Internet delivery, Storm started with a core team of eight employees, in offices on Sparks Street. The firm had a call centre, provided dial-up services, some web hosting and supported one co-location client. During several ownership and management changes, the company began developing its core expertise in wireless delivery based on what were then primarily rural deployments. In 2010 Chiswell became CEO. He joined the firm a year earlier in 2009 and brought his Ottawa tech sector roots and senior management experience with firms in Dallas, Ottawa, and Virginia. Jonathan Black, another Ottawa tech industry veteran, assumed duties as CFO the same year. The new leadership team initiated a wireless network build-out to bring their services to Lanark County. Storm developed an original concept to get service into difficult rural areas, a mini-node system where a wireless signal goes from a Storm tower to equipment mounted on everything from a

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the largest contract win in the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history,â&#x20AC;? says Chiswell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely going to help drive the next phase of our corporate growth and what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning about delivering higher speed wireless applies equally well to all markets and customers we serve.â&#x20AC;? Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new 10 megabit per second download/1 Mbps upload wireless service will cover rural areas surrounding Perth and Lanark such McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners and Maberly as well as Chesterville, Winchester and Portland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; areas that are not always able to access more traditional wire-line services.

STORM From page SF13
Rolling out throughout 2013, this new high-speed wireless will be able to provide an estimated 50,000 rural homes and business in the Lanark and Ottawa Valley areas with 21st century Internet access on par with wired services available in most Canadian cities and towns. Looking to further regional and commercial growth, last year Storm rounded out its management team with Ian Habinski, VP Commercial Sales, who brought 16 years of Corporate Sales Management; and Chris Reinkeluers, Director of Operations, Lanark, who came to Storm with more than 25 years of combined experience in engineering, operations and quality assurance. As a large regional ISP focused on urban
Ottawa, rural Lanark and the Ottawa Valley, Chiswell aims to maintain a growth rate of 25 to 30 per cent each year for the next several years – a pace that his team believes will allow the company to maintain its high level of service that has earned Storm its legendary customer loyalty. “Storm Internet Services has knowledgeable people who bring solutions to our problems,” says Mike Rouleau, Director of Operations, RBC Bluesfest and Ottawa Folk Festival, Ottawa, Ont. “They are a local firm that enables us to substantially expand and improve our services providing concertgoers with real added value.” Over its years in business Storm has acquired several smaller ISPs including Superaje of
Perth, Ottawa’s CompMore, Carp and Osgoode Station’s Ariba, and Carleton Place’s Horizon Technologies. Most of these acquisitions involved customers that could be easily migrated to Storm’s suite of services, and Storm remains on the hunt for future acquisitions to build its customer base. Storm’s future growth will also depend on its ongoing commitment to local service and support. While its 14,000-square-foot corporate headquarters remain located in west-end Ottawa, in March 2011 a five-person regional office opened in Perth. In 2012 another regional office opened in Chesterville. Other regional office openings are planned in 2013 and 2014. About Storm Internet Services Ltd. The mission of Storm Internet Services is
to provide fast and reliable Internet access to business and residential clients supported by superior customer service. The company is one of the major ISPs in Eastern Ontario and the Storm Internet Services network spans more than 8,000 square kilometers, including some 50 communities and municipalities including the City of Ottawa. Storm Internet Services offers a variety of Internet solutions including access through Wireless, DSL, and Fibre, as well as a data centre and Web hosting packages. Partnerships with several companies and subsidiaries allow Storm Internet Services to develop some of the highest caliber solutions for networking, site installations, broadband access and more.

Striving to create welcoming communities By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
EMC News – Almonte is the friendly town. It is known for its pleasant nature and warm atmosphere, but is it welcoming? Bruce Anderson of Community Activators, an organization that works to help communities and businesses innovate, says that while a community may be friendly, it can always be working to be more welcoming. Anderson gave a series of seminars in the area recently, including one in Mississippi Mills on June 27. The workshop was all about creating welcoming communities. According to Anderson, there is a difference between the concept of inclusiveness and the concept of welcoming: inclusiveness implies that there is a similarity between the members of a group, while welcoming is more about embracing uniqueness and involving all people, regardless of who they are. It is this theory of welcoming that Anderson says is important for communities to embrace. “There’s a heavy emphasis on belonging in a welcoming community,” he said. The definition of welcoming, he said, is this: Welcoming is an action driven by commitment to kindness, fairness, creativity and the utilization of gifts. Anderson emphasized that everyone has a gift they can give to their community, and that there is a resurgence, currently, in the idea of a gift economy.
A gift economy is one where everyone gives their gifts and receives the gifts of others and they were used long before capitalism came to be. “But why have a welcoming community?” asked Anderson. People, he said, will engage more in their community and be more willing to give their time if they feel a sense of belonging. Anderson said there are four benefits to having a whole community welcoming model. The first is the idea that everyone wants to belong, and therefore a welcoming community is a natural flow. The second is that such a model will help to reach a larger audience to support different causes in the community. This, in turn, will create the third benefit, which is that more resources will be available to everyone. Finally, the fourth benefit is that the model increases confidence in problem solving. He said the idea of a welcoming community, in a nutshell, is to have everyone working in harmony and utilizing their natural strengths to benefit the community as a whole. During the workshop, Anderson had the audience do an exercise with a partner to find their gifts. Then he had them brainstorm welcoming ideas that utilized those gifts. Some of the ideas that came out of that session, included: hosting sewing classes for young people to connect with the older generations; movie nights for both kids and adults; community potlucks; wine and cheese nights held at different businesses each month; and cooking classes for the community.

Jeff Mills, Coordinator Community Development for Mills Community Support, places his idea for creating a more welcoming community in Smiths Falls on the visual synthesis created by Jennifer Shepherd of Living Tapestries. This came from the conversations that took place during a recent “Creating Welcoming Communities” workshop. The June 28 workshop at the Royal Canadian Legion in Smiths Falls was one of three “town hall” sessions hosted by Mills Community Support last month with Bruce Anderson of Community Activators serving as the facilitator.

WELL program helps women entrepreneurs in Lanark and North Leeds By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
EMC News – Local women have a great opportunity to be entrepreneurs with a new pilot program from

Susan Fournier, executive director of Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation, talks about Women Entrepreneurs of Lanark and North Leeds (WELL), a new pilot program to help local businesswomen on June 27.
Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC). Women Entrepreneurs in Lanark and North Leeds (WELL) is one of three programs the corporation is starting this year, and aims to help local businesswomen flourish in the community. At a lunch meeting on June 27, Susan Fournier, Valley Heartland CFDC’s executive director, and Kyle Jackson, the business development co-ordinator, gave a presentation about WELL to a room full of interested women. Valley Heartland CFDC is a corporation that aims to develop communities, largely through providing business loans. The WELL program, explained Fournier, is to help small home-based businesses grow into larger businesses through microloans, or to help successful entrepreneurs expand their existing businesses with larger loans. Members of the WELL program will also have access to business mentors, coaches and workshops. “All of our pilot programs are really about encouraging people to take that next step,” said Fournier. Jackson explained that almost anyone in the area can apply to be part of the
WELL program. “If you’re a woman and you own a business, you can pretty much be sure that you can take part in the program,” he said. Being a part of the WELL program can have many advantages: members have access to business mentors and coaches as well as workshops and training sessions to improve skills. The workshops will be tailored to the specific needs of the program’s members. “If we find there is a need for one
(workshop) more than another, we’ll set something up,” said Jackson. The workshops will focus on technical skills and problems but will be as specific as possible; bookkeeping, marketing and understanding financial statements are just some of the topics available. Members of the program can be mentors, mentees or both, said Jackson. Mentors will ideally be successful, knowledgeable and skilled in one or many aspects of entrepreneurship. Mentors and mentees will be matched
up based on needs, then the two will meet up on an agreed upon schedule, usually for one or two hours per month. There is no deadline to apply to be a member of the program, and you do not need to have a business loan either. Most women entrepreneurs are welcome, said Jackson. Contact Kyle Jackson of the Valley Heartland CFDC at kyle.jackson@ valleycfdc.com or call 613-283-7002 ext. 110 for more information about the WELL program.

Alberta floods push need for blood donors News - As Canadians celebrated the Canada Day holiday many patients continued fighting to celebrate life itself. Canadian Blood Services (CBS) is encouraging Canadians from coast-to-coast to show their national pride by rallying together and donating blood. The recent flooding in Alberta resulted in the cancellation of many blood donor clinics, putting a temporary strain on CBS’ ability to collect blood. That’s why they are asking Canadians to rally together and take just one hour to roll up their sleeve to help Canadian hospital patients requiring blood and blood products following the Canada Day holiday. The next Smiths Falls clinic takes place this Thursday, July 11 at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club hall, Hwy. 15. Times are 1-4 p.m. and 5-8 p.m. The summer months can be a difficult time for Canadian Blood Services. While blood donations traditionally decrease because people are away on holidays or busy with family activities, the need for blood is constant and never takes a vacation. Compounding this was the inability to collect
blood in parts of Alberta for four days – resulting in the loss of close to 600 life-saving donations. It is expected that blood collections will be challenging in Calgary and other areas impacted by the flooding for the next few weeks as recovery efforts continue. Canadian Blood Services manages a national inventory of blood and can move blood around the country to meet the needs of hospital patients. So whether you’re in Calgary, Alta., Cambridge, Ont., Charlottetown, PEI, or Corner Brook, Nfld. and Labrador, the mandate remains to ensure a safe, consistent supply of blood and blood products across the country. Contingency plans are in place to ensure hospital patients in Alberta and elsewhere across the country continue to receive the blood products they need. To show your Canadian pride following this Canada Day long weekend, please call 1 888 2 DONATE (1 888 236-6283) or visit www.blood. ca for more information and to book your appointment now. Submitted by Canadian Blood Services.

Henderson sees more LPGA action this week By STAFF
Sports – Brooke Henderson is in the LPGA spotlight again this week as she participates in the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic at Grey Silo Golf Course in Waterloo, Ont. The tournament, now in its second year on the top women’s professional tour, runs July 11-14. The 15 year-old Smiths Falls native earned one of the two sponsors’ exemptions. She is the topranked women’s amateur golfer in Canada and is coming off a fantastic showing at last month’s U.S. Women’s Open where
she made the cut in a tie for 32nd, then finished tied for 59th overall among the world’s best. As noted on the LPGA website, Henderson is “the youngest known winner” of a pro tournament, the result of her win in June, 2012 on the CN Canadian Women’s Tour at Beloeil Golf Club near Montreal. She was just 14 years, nine months and three days. She earned automatic entry into the 2012 CN Canadian Women’s Open. She’s also earned entry into this year’s Canadian Open which takes place next month in Edmonton, Alta.

Ian MacInnis, Owner/GM/ head coach of the Cornwall Colts was thrilled with the decision. “The City of Cornwall and our organization are very excited to be hosting such a prestigious championship again, and we’re confident that we will host an outstanding week,” MacInnis said. The Colts are coming off a CCHL championship
last year attended the FPC in Truro, N.S. last May and were an overtime goal away from going to the finals. Kevin Abrams, commissioner of the CCHL, said he is looking forward to the league hosting their seventh FPC and excited for the Colts to host the 21st annual event.. “We had three outstanding submissions and our committee spent hours evaluating the merits of each. In the end only one could be successful and we are excited to announce the 2015 Fred Page Cup will be hosted by the defending champion Cornwall Colts”. The FPC showcases the best Jr. A teams in eastern Canada with the winner joining four other teams in the RBC Cup where a national champion will be crowned.
Bears’ Byron picked by Penguins in NHL draft By STAFF
Sports – For the first time since a trio of Smiths Falls Bears was plucked from the roster back in 2008, a National Hockey League club has drafted a member of the team. Blaine Byron, acquired by the Bears in a mid-season trade with the Kemptville 73’s back in December 2012, was picked in the sixth round (179th overall) by the Pittsburgh Penguins during the NHL entry draft June 28 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The 18 year-old centre, a native of Manotick, Ont., had been the only member of the Central Canada Tier 1 Jr. A Hockey League listed by Central Scouting for the upcoming draft. He was rated 122nd among all North American skaters. The 5-11, 163-lb. Byron played a half season with the Bears and heads off to the University of Maine this fall.

Two league champions for local football teams Sports – Sunday June 23 was the Regional Spring League Football Championship day at Beckwith Park. Four league championships were contested at the tyke, mosquito, peewee and bantam levels. Smiths Falls had a banner year with teams in tyke, peewee and bantam vying for 2013 bragging rights. The Smiths Falls Bantam Bengals, comprised of players from Perth as well as Smiths Falls, capped an incredible undefeated season with a 28-6 win over a tough Beckwith Irish squad. The Bengals record setting defense produced six shutouts games and only six points against in seven games leading to the championship this year. Defensive coordinator, Kurtis Pankow, credits their success to the desire and buy in of his defense when it came to learning a very challenging defensive playbook. This, along with the leadership of veteran was the
difference maker. Offensively the team scored 20 to 30 points a game through the season which in combination with the defense produced an intimidating combination. Veteran coaches Paul Cauley and Mark Pankow also noted the discipline the team showed, producing a relatively low number of penalties throughout the year. Though, commented Cauley “we did have one game that was the exception, but it was a teaching tool at the next practice.” The championship game itself was played, in the sweltering heat. Smiths Falls held the lead form the first quarter until the final buzzer of the fourth quarter. The Smiths Falls Peewee Renegades didn’t fare as well as they had to take on the first place Brockville Bucs in their final. Brockville scored early and
often but the Smiths Falls team, led by Coach Bob Swan and a large group of university student coaches, never gave up. They worked hard on every down, and though there disappointment was evident, they could take pride in the determined effort and in the fact that they had pulled an upset the week before in semi-final action on the same field. In the tyke final Smiths Falls met a determined Beckwith Irish squad but managed to put together a solid offensive and defensive performance on the field. The Smiths Falls squad went on to a convincing 24-14 win. Coach Paul Birley commented on the smiles on the smiles on the field from the opening kickoff to the awards presentation. The tyke players are eight and nine years of age. Submitted by the minor football league.

Sports - This spring’s Cancer Classic golf tournament at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club raised more than $23,000 in this, its 20th anniversary year. “The Canadian Cancer Society is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year and we wouldn’t have been able to reach our milestones without community fundraisers like yourselves, thank you,” said Amanda Gifford, fundraising coordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Lanark Leeds and
Grenville unit. The Cancer Classic has raised more than $368,000 for the Cancer Society since its inception 20 years ago. “We make our living by what we get, we make our life by what we give,” said Red Blair, a member of the committee, who thanked the Record News for helping publicize the event over the years. Other members of the Cancer Classic committee not shown here include Graham Merpaw, Rick Plontz, Peggy Warren, Paul Vaillancourt and Scott Devonshire.

Blair sinks ace to win big screen By STAFF
Sports – Jim Blair earned a 50 inch big screen television for his prowess on the links recently as he sunk a hole-in-one at the Gerry Lowe Memorial Golf Tournament on June 21. Blair earned his ace on the fourth hole at the Lombard Glen Golf and Country club – his first ever – to win the prize, courtesy of Town and

The money will also benefit positive programs for kids in sports, like the Gerry Lowe Weekly Shinny Hockey program. Next year’s tournament is slated for June 20.
“We like to do volunteer work in the community,” said Kothary. “We support a number of causes, but Ride the Rideau, which contributes funds to research at The Ottawa Hospital, is close to our hearts. We’ll be at the finish line, where we will show support to the riders, and to recognize them for their hard work.”

St. John the Baptist Catholic parish celebrates 190 years of faith Lifestyle – Throughout the years St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Perth has hosted many religious celebrations. The commemorative mass and dinner on June 23 to mark the 190th anniversary of the parish and the 165th anniversary of the church building certainly took its place in history as a memorable occasion. Chuck Stewart, chair of the parish pastoral council and master of ceremonies for the event, welcomed the congregation to the gathering in the parish church on Wilson St. East. Parishioners past and present joined in the Sunday Mass of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, celebrated by His Grace, Archbishop Brendan O’Brien of the Archdiocese of Kingston. In his homily Archbishop O’Brien spoke of the importance of discipleship in the church from the time of its founding by Jesus Christ almost two thousand years ago, a discipleship apparent among Perth’s priests and faithful for almost 200 years. Joining the Archbishop in the celebration of Mass was Father Brian McNally, present pastor of the parish, and more than a dozen priests from throughout the Archdiocese. A similar number of Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul attended and were recognized for their contribution to the educational and spiritual life of St. John’s parish and schools, and their positive influence on the community-at-large. The church was decorated with festive banners for the occasion, the voices of the parish choir led the congregation in filling the church with song, and the Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus ceremoniously accompanied the entrance and recessional processions. Canon Christine Piper, pastor of St. James Anglican Church and president of the Perth Ministerial Association, spoke eloquently of

Those present at the 190th Anniversary Mass in St. John the Baptist celebrated its longstanding history in the community with a celebraCatholic Church in Perth gather for a photo recently as the community tion June 23. St. John the Baptist Parish’s place among the churches of Perth, then and now. Perth mayor John Fenik brought greetings on behalf of the town of Perth, citing the positive impact that St. John’s has had on the community for so many years. Drawing an imaginative word picture of what life was like for Catholics and their priests during the earliest years of the nineteenth century, Deacon Brent McLaren created a better understanding of the times for the congregation through his masterful story-telling. Deacon David Cavalier spoke of the architecture of the parish churches of St. Brigid’s (1820-48) and St. John’s (1848 to the present). He vividly described the unique architecture of St. John the Baptist Church, listing the chronology of additions and renovations, includ-
ing the expansion of the building, the addition of the beautiful and inspiring stained glass windows and Stations of the Cross, the decorative columns, the altar, artwork and statues. Congratulatory letters were received from federal Member of Parliament Scott Reid and provincial Member of Parliament Randy Hillier. Following mass the congregation gathered on the church’s front steps for a photograph to mark the historic occasion. Besides a commemorative program for the mass, an historical bookmark outlining the life of the parish from even before 1823 to our modern day was distributed. After mass more than 240 people gathered at Farrell Hall for a wonderful dinner and social evening to conclude the day’s celebration. His-
torical displays capturing significant moments of the parish graced the hall. Sister Sandra Shannon, General Superior of the Sisters of Providence, spoke on behalf of her community of Sisters, relating how welcome the Sisters had always felt in Perth from their 1892 arrival right to the present day. Sister Shannon commented that St. John’s has been an important part of the lives of 136 Sisters of Providence over the years, and that the Sisters have felt blessed to be so well involved in the life of the schools, parish and community. Brent Laton, chair of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, outlined the close collaboration between the school and parish from earliest times through to today, speaking of the importance of the spiritual life in the teaching of stu-
dents. He congratulated all, including the present pastor, on their fine work in building the home-schoolparish partnership so successfully. Father McNally, in his closing remarks for the event, thanked all parishioners for their support of the anniversary, citing in particular Chuck Stewart and the parish pastoral council, Patrick Carroll and the 190th anniversary committee, parish staff and volunteers, and all who had worked so hard to make the day such a success. All in attendance were in strong agreement that the 190th and 165th anniversary celebration was a fitting tribute to the honoured place of St. John the Baptist Parish in the Perth community and beyond. Stay tuned for the 200th! Submitted by St. John the Baptist Parish, Perth.

Leamington man has top-down fun in a pair of Corvairs Lifestyle – General Motors astounded the auto industry when it launched a new compact car called the Corvair for the 1960 model year. This car had a rear-mounted, aircooled six-cylinder engine and remained in production until 1969. It was often described as the “American Volkswagen.” Bob Impens of Leamington, Ont., owns two Corvairs and both are convertibles. When he goes for a spin with
his wife Robin, he takes his white 1965 Corvair Monza convertible with automatic transmission and 110 horsepower. When he hits the road with 19-year-old son Riley, they do it in Bob’s red 1964 Corvair Monza Spyder convertible with four-on-the-floor and a turbo-charged engine cranking out 150 horsepower. Bob was born in 1957 in a farmhouse near Leamington. When he was 15, the family car was a 1961 Corvair 4-door
sedan which he drove around on his aunt and uncle’s farm before getting his licence. The car was later sold but Bob was hooked. In 1989, he bought a 1967 Corvair 2-door hardtop “for next to nothing.”
He repainted it maroon, then sold it. Around the dinner table one evening, his son Riley said: “Dad, you’ve told us a hundred times how much fun you had with those cars. Let’s
look for one and buy it!” And so father and son set off, looking at one Corvair after another all the way to New Brunswick, but returned home empty-handed. Then Bob heard of one stored in a barn north of Leamington close to where his daughter Brittaney lived. The odometer showed 17,000 miles. Bob bought it in 2006 and brought it home. He installed a new white top and new brakes and tires. The car has been a great source of fun for the whole family with drives all over southern Ontario. With a one-car garage at home, the ’65 Corvair was parked inside while the family car sat outside. This arrangement worked well until 2009 when Bob saw an ad for a 1964 Corvair Monza Spyder convertible in Hamilton, Ont. Bob and his son headed there while towing a flat-bed trailer.
A woman whose husband had passed away was selling it, and the car was just like new. Father and son fell in love with this lovely red convertible and paid the full asking price even though they had nowhere at home to keep it. The storage problem was soon solved with the construction of a large new building in the Impens’ back yard, known as “Bob’s Corvair garage.” Both cars are great fun to drive – and they attract smiles and waves wherever they go. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

vehicle type, run a cursory once-over at the beginning of every trip, at the very least this one or two minute exercise would prevent a lot of vacation travel headaches if done before heading out for each leg of a longer trek. (Wheel fasteners donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually require pre-trip inspections on personal use vehicles). Checking tire pressures, including those on any trailer and the spare(s) should be at the top of the list. Running with low tire pressures with a fully loaded vehicle at highway speeds on a blistering hot day is a recipe for a blow-out. Have a helper lend a hand completing an exterior lamp check and
complete under-hood fluids, hoses, and belt(s) inspection before the engine gets started and warmed up. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the trailer hitch and safety chains as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Brian, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard diametrically opposite theories about wheel alignment and new tires.

time. Putting on the tires first, risks having them wear unevenly before you get the alignment done if the specs are off. Getting the alignment specs checked and adjusted first (if adjustments are required) makes it difficult for any alignment tech, because, if the old tires are causing a pull to one side, the tech may suspect the newly adjusted alignment is off and attempt to incorrectly compensate for this. If possible get everything done at the same shop, but if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not feasible, get things done on the same day at least. While the debate will always continue on whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worse: inattentive drivers or pedestrians, a creative group of Grade 11 students at Holy Cross School in Kingston have produced a great set of pedestrian safety videos and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worth watching and sharing with all of your friends and family.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely in summer travel season, judging from the increased traffic in cottage and vacation country, so perhaps a few hot summer tips on a variety of topics might not be a bad idea. So, in no particular orderâ&#x20AC;Ś Water, yes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water dripping from your air-conditioned vehicle while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idling on a hot humid day. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be surprised at how many drivers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what that clear liquid dripping from their vehicles directly under the windshield cowl. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a condensation collector tray under every air-conditioned dash and by means of a rubber tube/nozzle; it drains water out of the vehicle. From time to time the flexible rubber flap on the end of the drain can stick shut and when this happens the drain-tray will overflow inside the vehicle providing a cold-feet surprise to any front seat passenger with open-toed shoes. In most cases all you have to do is locate this drain flap on the engine side of the firewall and squeeze it so it pops open allowing for a dry and cool ride inside. Batten down more than the hatches. Every summer more than a few collisions, not to mention, countless nearmisses are caused by improperly secured trailer loads, including boats. While vacationing drivers may be considerate enough to secure any loose gear in their trailered boat, they often forget to check on the condition and tension on the straps holding the boat onto the trailer. Most trailer suspension systems are far less advanced than those that hold up our vehicles. A sudden jounce or jolt due to a pothole or washboard surface, combined with a sharp cornering or lane-change maneuver, can easily lift the rear of a boat off the trailer with disastrous results. Take a moment to make sure everything is secure. Every commercial trucker knows the value of a walk-around. This inspection of tire pressure, wheel fasteners, lights, and other vital safety systems helps to reduce the risk of breakdowns and traffic mishaps. While it would be great to have every driver, regardless of their

Many seniors today prefer to continue living in their own homes as they age. Living in your own home has many advantages for active and independently mobile seniors, but sometimes problems and isolation can occur, especially if getting around becomes an issue. “Seniors love their independence. For many seniors, owning their own vehicle meant independence” says Mr. Maconnachie. This loss of independence can feel devastating. Car ownership is not a viable

Seventh annual Real to Reel Film Festival a hit video and act as editors. Everyone participates.â&#x20AC;? Participants at the festival enjoyed an impressive array of character-themed short films. One of the most impressive ones was entitled Benson Style, created by Benson Public School students. The film is a take-off of the Internet video craze Gangnam Style and featured a similar beat. Students sang their original tune and performed acts of character in the video including helping others and being kind, not cruel. Russell High School submitted a video called Chemistry. The video features two students who are working together on a chemistry project. Unknown to the boy in the video, the girl is â&#x20AC;&#x153;crushingâ&#x20AC;? on him, but many of her friends think she is out of the popular boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s league. She changes to become the kind of girl she thinks will appeal to him. Instead, the boy tells her he liked her the way she was. When she returns to her normal self, the two finally get together as a couple. The message is to be yourself and not what others dictate. Students were impressed by this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshops. The stop-motion film seminar was particularly popular. Students created storyboards for character-
themed videos, then used objects such as toy dinosaurs, and plastic bugs, to create characters in their films. They used iPads to take photos, which they used to create stop-motion animation films using iMovie. Thousand Islands Secondary School student Shelly Lozo, and partners Jennifer Derrick and Em-
ily Laver, created a short video using fruit entitled Just Because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Different, imploring students to stand up against bullying. In the film, a small lime is bullied by a bunch of large apples until a banana comes in to stop their behaviour and befriend the lime. Laver said the workshop provided a great outlet for studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; creativity.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; More than 200 aspiring filmmakers learned their craft with character recently during the seventh annual Real to Reel Film Festival in Brockville, sponsored by the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). Students from grades 3 to 12 viewed more than 50 character-inspired, student-produced films during the event, hosted at the Galaxy Cinemas. They also learned new production skills in workshops on topics such as stop-motion film production, greenscreen techniques, and Improv. Festival co-chairs Brenda Beaudette and Derek Cole say the event offers students an outlet for their creativity and helps develop communication skills and technical skills through film production. The festival is also representative of a board philosophy of teamwork and inclusion in education known as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All Means Allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; philosophy, said Cole. Preparing character-based films for viewing at the festival enables students to express their creativity in the roles that best suit them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All Means Allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; this project is about just that,â&#x20AC;? said Cole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students write the scripts, perform as actors, shoot

Who has never dreamt, feather duster in hand, of discovering an ancient treasure hidden underneath thick layers of dust accumulated over the years? Who has never asked themselves, when standing in front of grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old chest of drawers, if this antique would be of interest to antique dealers? Everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old is fascinating and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be an expert on the subject to enjoy a visit to an antique dealer. Generally speaking, there are two different types of antique dealers, the ones in a rural setting and those in an urban area. A tour of antique dealers in a rural setting starts early in the morning, as these shops, sometimes part of the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, can be quite a long way from each other. Visiting antique dealers in an urban setting is very different as far as distance is concerned as the majority of large towns have an area dedicated to this type of shop. Once inside the antique shop, try and absorb the sense of history which surrounds the pieces for sale. Take the time to remember your childhood and all your good memories. Try to share the experience with someone from an older generation, which will increase your pleasure tenfold while at the same time enabling you to learn more about history. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to talk to the antique dealer himself, who will enjoy answering any questions you may have. Amble around the shop, daydream of distant times, learn about the past and your day at the antique dealerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will have been a rewarding and enriching experience.

‘Despicable Me’ sequel offers plenty of lovable characters
Entertainment – I don’t know what it is about those crazy yellow minions, but they crack me and my kids up every time. Just like the first one, Despicable Me 2 will bring tears to your eyes from laughing so hard, and maybe one or two from tugging on your heart strings.
Old Age Security benefit amounts increase EMC News – Human Resources and Skills Development Canada recently announced the quarterly benefit amounts for Old Age Security (OAS) for July to September 2013. The maximum basic OAS pension benefit paid to people 65 years of age and older will increase from $546.07 to $549.89 per month from July 1 to Sept. 30. This represents an increase of 0.7 per cent from the previous quarter. Payments under the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), the Allowance and the Allowance for the Survivor will also increase by the same percentage. The OAS program consists of the basic pension, the GIS and the Allowances. The GIS and the Allowances provide additional benefits to eligible low-income pensioners and their spouses or common-law partners, as well as to eligible survivors. OAS benefit amounts are reviewed quarterly (in January, April, July and October) and revised as required to reflect increases in the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) set by Statistics Canada. The last time OAS benefit amounts increased was in January 2013, when benefits were raised in response to an increase in the average CPI. Since then, the average CPI had initially decreased, but increased again in the last quarter. For further information, please consult the Service Canada website at www.servicecanada.gc.ca.
Gru (Steve Carell) is back and enjoying life as a suburban dad. Between birthday parties for the girls, dodging his whacky neighbour’s attempts to set him up, and creating truly awful jellies and jams with Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand) Gru’s plate is pretty full. Though I suppose there’s always room for saving the world. Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig) an agent of the Anti-Villain League kidnaps Gru and takes him to the AVL’s underwater headquarters. Most recently a villain has stolen a powerful mutagenic compound, and the AVL needs someone who thinks like a villain to catch a villain. They need Gru. Gru and Lucy go undercover in a mall to spy on the AVL’s top suspects.
My Take MARK HASKINS
Gru is eager to be back in the game, but saving the world isn’t his only concern. Margo (Miranda Cosgrove) has discovered boys, and Agnes (Elsie Fischer) has been hinting at wanting a mom. It’s enough to make an ex-super villain pull out his fart gun. Despicable Me 2 is a slapstick bonanza. It’s one gag after another in a non-
stop laugh fest that will have your sides hurting. I honestly can’t remember the last time I laughed this much in a movie theatre. As wonderfully silly as Despicable Me 2 is, it’s also a great story with some great characters you really connect with. There are times when I felt it jumped around too quickly, but for the most part this is a warm and fuzzy comic adventure of epic proportions. Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, the adorable Elsie Fischer and the deviously witty Russell Brand all return to voice their beloved characters. Steve Coogan joins in as the head of the AVL Silas Ramsbottom, and Benjamin Bratt jumps in the ring as the voice of suspected villain Eduardo. I’ve been a big fan of Steve Carell for
a long time. He’s managed to do a lot of different films and varied characters, but I think my favorite is Gru. I love the concept, I love the voice, and I love his delivery. It’s sheer brilliance. Kristen Wiig lends her voice to Lucy Wilde, Gru’s partner and love interest. Wiig gives Lucy a zany manic quality that is hilarious while at the same time making her the perfect fit for Gru. Of course the big scene-stealers are the minions voiced by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud. They’ve taken animated slapstick and elevated it to the level of art. As long as the minions are there I’ll be in the theatre to see Despicable Me 3, 4, 5 and so on. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Marinate meats in the refrigerator and discard marinade after use If using coolers, stock with sufficient clean ice packs Keep drinks in a separate cooler as this one is likely to be opened more often Cover and refrigerate leftovers with-in one hour Cook Undercooked meats can cause food-borne illness. Use a sanitized probe thermometer to check the internal temperature of cooked foods Cook ground chicken/chicken pieces and meat mixtures to 74oC(165oF), whole poultry to 82oC (180oF) ground meats and pork to 71oC (160oF), fish and seafood to 70oC (158oF) Beef/veal steaks and roasts can be cooked to your preferred doneness provided they have not been mechanically tenderized and the outside surface has been cooked Separate Be careful not to cross-contaminate ready to eat foods with raw foods Never use the same plate or utensils for raw and cooked food as meat juices contain harmful bacteria
