Driver in fatal accident turns himself in
INSIDE

The hunt for the truck that killed Benjamin Rogers is over. On July 27, four days after the 18-year-old Tay Valley Township man was found dead on Highway 7, Ontario Provincial Police announced the tractor-trailer operator had turned himself in.
The driver, a 25-year-old Belleville man, told police he may have been the one who hit Rogers. He said he thought Rogers was a deer when his truck struck him near Innisville at approximately 2:50 a.m. in the early hours of July 23. In a press release, police said evidence collected at the scene
and independent witnesses confirm the driver’s account. There are no charges pending. The flag on the front lawn of the Stewart School flew at halfmast Thursday morning, when about 400 people filled the gym for Rogers’ funeral service. A recent graduate of Perth and District Collegiate Institute
and an avid hockey player, outdoorsman and athlete, Rogers was mourned by family, friends, colleagues and teammates at the July 28 service. He leaves behind his parents Colleen and Lawrence, brothers Curtis and David, his girlfriend Brittany Strank, his grandmother Mary Nagle, and several aunts, uncles and close friends.

Bumper crop for Perth Garlic Festival More vendors than ever scheduled KASSINA RYDER kassina.ryder@perthcourier.com
More vendors than ever are participating in the 14th annual Perth Garlic Festival, and this year’s crop is promising to be one of the best yet, says the festival chair. “We’ve never had this many vendors before,” Gerry Sawdon said. “We feel we’re dong something right.” Around 80 vendors will be on site at the Perth Fairgrounds during this year’s festival, which runs from Aug. 13 to 14. The Perth Lions Club is organizing the event. Garlic farmers are reporting great yields this season, Sawdon said. “The general consensus is we’re going to have a great crop,” he said. The festival will feature Ted Maczka, also

known as the Fish Lake Garlic Man, and James Cowan’s Birds of Pray show. There will also be cooking demonstrations with Mary Jane Murphy of Maximilian Dining Lounge, as well as Pam Collacott from Trillium Cooking School and Kingston chef Clark Day. An amateur rib cook-off will also take place on Saturday, along with wine tastings on both Saturday and Sunday. Sawdon said if previous festivals are any indication, garlic growers should get prepared for a popular event. “Some vendors on Saturday night will be sold out,” he said. “There are a lot of garlic lovers out there.” By closing time on Sunday, most, if not all, vendors will have sold out of their product, he added.

In addition to all things garlic, the Perth Citizens Band is scheduled to perform and face-painting will be offered to younger festival goers. Andre and the J-Tones, a rhythm and blues band from Hamilton, as well as DJ Pat Labelle will also provide entertainment. There will also be a draw for a gift basket that includes donations from the various vendors, with the winner announced on Sunday. Admission to the festival is $5 and children under 12 are free. Parking will be provided free of charge. Sawdon said after 14 years, love for the ‘stinking rose’ is stronger than ever. “We’ve had people walk out of there with 100 pounds of garlic,” he said. “They walk out of there with bags of the stuff.”

Ian Millar and his daughter, Amy, son Jonathon, granddaughter Lily (Amy’s daughter) along with their champion mount ‘In Style’ share a moment at Millar Brooke Farm south of Perth last week. In Style is a 16-yearold Holsteiner gelding owned by Susan Grange and Lothlorien Farm and is a horse that Ian has been partners with for about a year and a half. The family talks about their life as competitive show jumpers and what it takes to achieve their level of success in the ring. In Style is kicking at flies in this shot, something the Millars share a laugh over as they calm him. Photos by Laurie Weir
Team Millar is riding In Style LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@perthcourier.com
Ian Millar says he couldn’t be more proud of his offspring who are not only following in his footsteps, but are excelling in the sport of show jumping. The accomplished international rider grins with pride as he talks about Jonathon, 36, and Amy, 34, who all comprise Team Millar. “If I were to leave here tomorrow, I would be satisfied knowing that Jonathon and Amy could run this place just fine,â€? Millar said during an informal interview at Millar Brook Farm, just south of Perth. It’s home for all three Millars; each has his or her own place on the 650-acre farm that Ian and his late wife Lynn founded in 1972‌ about the same time Ian began his Olympic quest. Next year in London will be his world record breaking 10th appearance in the Olympics, where he is still chasing that elusive gold medal. He will be 65 when that happens. He says he may possibly be the oldest athlete in the competition. “I don’t see too many 65-year-old sprinters‌ or swimmers,â€? he says with a laugh. This veteran showman is far from retirement. They recently returned home from a successful competition at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, Alta. His list of accomplishments is staggering. Medals, photos, trophies and other memorabilia from national and international competitions cover his office walls, shelves, desk and tables. He sits behind his desk in a big, fat comfy leather chair; leans back, stretches his towering frame into even longer lengths, and clasps his hands behind his head. He’s thoughtful for a moment. He talks about the variables at play during competitions like the Pan American Games or the Olympics‌ even the more local events, like the National Capital Show Jumping Tournament in Nepean, August 10 to 14 and 17 to 21, 2011, at the Nepean National Equestrian Park. He is the honourary chair as one of the founding members of the tournament. “You have to have three things to be successful,â€? he says. “You have to be a student; you have to preserver and you have to work hard.â€? He has been a student of the sport since he first sat on a horse more than a half-century ago at age 10. There is always something to learn, he says. He has persevered — nine Olympics is testament to that — and he works
hard. “It doesn’t matter what the competition is,� Ian says. “You have to make sure you have done your homework.� He gives a little insight as to what that homework is all about. It’s like preparing for a high school exam. “You have to study all the chapters not just one or two and pray the questions will be asked from either one or the other chapters that you have studied.�
The biggest part of his homework is to watch the course designer and how that architecture evolves. It’s about the height of the bars, the width of the jump, the decorations around it, and how the horse sees those changes. “I have to be able to perceive where that course designer is going in the design of the jumps and how it will evolve. I have to be about five steps ahead of him.â€? Will the liverpool have a flowered edge — something that can make the horse hesitate or prance around it; will the depth perception be wider than the actual jump itself ? “It’s all about how the horse sees these jumps,â€? Ian explains. It’s about eye exercises and training both himself and his horse to see things that may or may not be there. The jumps are all about optical illusions and each course designer has his or her own signature snafu that they want to be known for, Ian explains‌ to stump a horse and rider. How did his horses do at the latest Spruce Meadows’
competition? “Oh they sailed right through it,� he beams. For next year’s Olympics, or even the fall’s Pan AM Games, he says he’s even more prepared. And this time, he has more options in terms of mounts. During Big Ben days there was just Big Ben and three consecutive Olympic showings: fourth in L.A. in 1984; fourth in Seoul in ‘88 and ninth in Barcelona in ‘92. “We’re deeper in top horses now,� he says. “And any one is capable (of winning gold).� His mounts include In Style, Star Power and Dryden. It was aboard In Style, the chestnut beauty that he earned a team silver in Beijing in 2008. This year’s Pan American Games Oct. 25 to 29 will be held at the Guadalajara Country Club in Guadalajara, Mexico. Amy will be aboard on Costa Rica Z, a 16-year-old Holsteiner mare owned by Matthews and Millar Brooke Farm Inc. and Jonathon will have Contino, a 14-year old Holsteiner gelding owned by Millar Brooke Farm. Star Power is a 10-year-old Dutch-bred gelding owned by Team Works, while Dryden is a 10-year-old Belgian Warmblood stallion owned by Susan and Ariel Grange. Gearing up for Nepean, Ian says it’s a great opportunity for Team Miller to perform locally. to Ottawa for the National Capital Show Jumping Tournament, taking place from Aug. 10 to 14 and 17-21, at the Nepean National Equestrian Park, located at the Moodie Drive exit of the 417 Queensway. The first week of competition is highlighted by Sunday’s $25,000 Hayes Co. Grand Prix.

pay for an expensive cocktail of medicines to treat Lynn’s condition – and some alternative medicinal methods – that extended Lynn’s life by a few years. “It was unbelievable,” Ian says. “For someone to offer to pay for something like that… it just goes to show you that there are people who give so selflessly of themselves. Lynn’s life was extended because of his kindness and because of Dr. McLean in Perth, who helped make it happen.”

The blond curls poke out of the back of her pink Grand Prix ball cap. She’s hidden behind her MacBook and has the phone cradled on her shoulder. It’s the administration efforts at Millar Brooke Farm that keeps Amy Millar, daughter of the internationally recognized horseman, Ian Millar of Perth, busy inside the barn, tucked away in her office overlooking the arena. With a business degree in administration from Ryerson University in Toronto, Amy Millar says she wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. She tried that for a while, like most young women who experimented with other things, and a variety of sports, but she found her way home. She says she loves the competition and has her sights set on becoming an international competitor. “I love to ride, but I really love the competition,” she said. “That’s the means to the end… I enjoy the horses and the process and each day I learn to understand them more and more. Each one is an individual. X plus Y does not always equal Z, and it’s never boring here.” Life on the farm is really “all encompassing” and she and her partner, Brad, and their oneyear-old daughter Lily complete her. “I always knew this place was a part of my life. It’s a big commitment, a lot of luck and a lot of travel,” she says. Growing up, Amy says she was given every opportunity to ride and to train. Travelling as a family was something that brought them all closer together. What’s it like being Ian’s daughter? “He’s a hard worker and he expects everyone around him to work just as hard,” she says. “He’s a worker… he cares and he gives the utmost attention to detail. He expects nothing less than everything.” Amy says Ian – which is what she and her brother call him at

When competing, the three are a team and not individuals, but there is a little pride when she one-ups her father in competition. JONATHON Working with the horses, building stock, doing research… that’s what Jonathon enjoys about life on Millar Brooke Farm. He too came back to his roots after a few years in Europe, the United States and various points between. He describes his life as “a lot of fun” and working as a family very rewarding. “We all share a common goal and that is for each of us to be successful, and for our students to be successful. It’s a fun business to be in right now.” He says the family travels up to 30 weeks a year and there is never a dull moment. “Having Ian’s strength and-

knowledge to draw on is very valuable,” Jonathon says. Ian says that having his children’s input is also important in the business. “All the great ideas of the future will come from young people,” Ian says. “And you better accept, embrace, utilize and adjust to it or you will make yourself irrelevant.” Ian says his son and daughter have surprised him with their input in the past, “but now I expect it.” LYNN Ian’s eyes swim with memories of pain and passion when he speaks about his late wife, Lynn, who died in March, 2008, after battling two bouts of cancer. They were married almost 40 years. Ian remembers their courting days. “I’d just hop on a horse and trot on over and see her,” he says with a smile. “She was a lot of fun.”
And she was an integral part of this family. She was an accomplished horsewoman who rode right up until she was pregnant with Jonathon then she stopped riding. She became the barn manager and worked the business side and raised the children. Together, Ian and Lynn built their business, which began in 1972 and now hosts a first-rate training facility. The property features three barns, an indoor arena, a grass ring, a sand ring, a walker, trails and many paddocks. Ian thanks a Perth physician, Dr. Ross McLean, for giving him extra time with Lynn. She was diagnosed with fourth-stage cancer, but that wasn’t her demise, Ian says. It was a second cancer that took her life. But it was thanks to a trip to the Mayo Clinic in Florida that extended her life by a few years. It was on the suggestion of an oilman friend, whose selfless offer to

No one horse will replace the gentle giant that helped give Ian his nickname, “Captain Canada.” It was aboard Ben that he became Canada’s most decorated horseman. Ian and Ben’s contribution to the sport is unparalleled: back-to-back World Cup Champion, Nations Cup victories, Pan American double gold medalist, du Maurier International Champion, and more than 50 major Grand Prix titles… not to mention the bronze statue in Stewart Park in Perth. Ben was 23 when he developed colic for the third time. He had been retired since 1994 and ridden by Ian for 10 years. Ben survived two previous fights with colic and a traffic accident before colic hit him again in 1999 and took his life. Jonathon says Ben and Ian’s farewell tour was one that will be remembered by many fans around the world. “It was a chance for the public to say goodbye to Ben before he was retired,” Jonathon says. “He was ridden all the time after retirement – he wasn’t just put out to pasture – and that was great for Ben because he was used to that lifestyle.” Jonathon says he was in Europe that fatal day, December 16, 1999. “It was a sad day for sure… for a lot of people.” But like rebuilding a sports team, Jonathon says the horse stock at Millar Brooke Farm has never been better and Team Millar has never been more prepared to rock… and jump.

Legions of Izzy Dolls spread comfort around the world Wreta Porteous remembers the first time she saw a picture of a child holding a doll she had made. The children looked delighted, she said. Porteous has made 1,000 ‘Izzy’ dolls since her friend Shirley O’Connell introduced her to the idea a few years ago. The Izzy Dolls project started in 1993 when Master Cpl. Mark Isfeld, nicknamed “Izzy”, brought the small, knitted dolls made by his mother along with him on missions to give to local children. When Isfeld died in 1994, his mother, Carol, kept making the dolls for soldiers to distribute. O’Connell said she was inspired to get involved by the 2005 tsunami, and by a statue erected in Calgary’s Peacekeeper Park, depicting a peacekeeper giving a child an Izzy Doll. “I phoned Carol and that’s how it started,” she said. O’Connell, the current national co-ordinator of the Order of the Eastern Star’s Izzy Doll program – she took over after Carol’s death – said 64,000 dolls have been distributed since 2005. Recently, 265 dolls were given to members of the Deer Lake First Nation who are staying at the former Rideau Regional Centre in Smiths Falls due to raging wildfires near their homes. Dolls can also be found in the emergency room at the Great War Memorial site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. “There’s nothing like something soft to give comfort,” said fellow knitter Janie Hickman, owner of Janie H. Knits in Glen Tay. Hickman said people often donate yarn and other materials to her store, which she then passes along to the project. She even told John Laurie, the president of sewing and needlecraft company Coats & Clark, about the Izzy Dolls, who then donated materials as well. Constructing a doll is simple, Hickman said. “You don’t have to be a great
knitter,” she said. “It’s a rectangle.” Each doll starts out in a rectangular shape and the legs and arms are formed by sewing seams. The dolls contain no buttons or other items that could pose a choking hazard and should be no taller than six inches. “The reason they were small was because Mark used to carry them in his pocket,” O’Connell said. O’Connell’s 13-year-old granddaughter, Sara Bellefeuille, said she learned to knit three years ago at a workshop held at Janie H. Knits. “I saw Granny knitting them and I saw how cool they were,” she said. She made one Izzy Doll that summer but said she plans on making more. No two dolls are alike, O’Connell said. Porteous’ dolls often wear hats, but some wear overalls, skirts or pants, depending on “whatever humour I’m in,” she said. Each doll takes approximately three hours to make. Historica Encounters, an annual youth summit organized by Veterans Affairs Canada, often has O’Connell teach youth how to make Izzy Dolls. The workshop is one of the most popular aspects of the event. “The kids just love to make the dolls,” she said. Through O’Connell’s crossCanada network of members of the Order of the Eastern Star, the dolls are collected and given to various charities. The dolls are now primarily distributed by the Canadian military and aid groups such as the International Community for the Relief of Starvation and Suffering, which calls the dolls Izzy African Comfort Dolls. No matter what name they are called, O’Connell said one thing remains the same. “They’re made with love,” she said. O’Connell said she encourages anyone taking a trip to a developing country to contact her about taking dolls along. Anyone looking for information can contact O’Connell at 613-267-3145 or soconn37@gmail.com, or Hickman at janiehknits@gmail.com.

Sweet Peach moving to Carleton Place BY KASSINA RYDER kassina.ryder@perthcourier.com
488079
Sweet Peach is making the move to Carleton Place, but the services it provides will still be available to the Perth area. The family-owned baby store, which is run by Casey Easton, her mother Norma Sweeney and other family members, has been in Perth for almost four years. Since then, the store has expanded from providing cloth diaper services to selling everything from baby carriers to home birthing pools. Easton, a doula, said she wanted to open a store that provided essential baby services to the local area. “I’m kind of baby-oriented,” she said. “It was a need that wasn’t being met.” Sweet Peach’s diaper service is its biggest feature, Easton said. Staff drop off clean cloth diapers to clients’ homes and pick up soiled diapers each week. “Our diaper service – that’s the huge thing for us,” Easton said. Sweeney, who lives in Almonte, is the primary driver delivering the service. Both she and Easton said the majority of clients are in Ottawa, which means Sweeney drives to Ottawa up to three days a week. Trips to the
city added to the rural area she already covers means “a really long drive.” Making the move to Carleton Place will cut around seven hours a week from her trip, Sweeney said. In addition to being closer to the city, the store’s new location in Carleton Place is directly beside the Ottawa Valley Midwives clinic, a fact that definitely influenced the move, Easton said. The new location will also have space for two industrial sized washers and dryers – a necessity for a business that specializes in dirty diapers, Easton said. The new store will also offer more gift items and maybe even strollers, she added. Sweet Peach will still provide diaper service to Brockville, Perth, Smiths Falls, Kemptville, Carleton Place, Almonte, Kingston, Gatineau, Orleans, Lanark and soon, Arnprior. While they are looking forward to the move, the women said they are going to miss interacting with Perth area residents in the store. “I’m going to miss the people,” Sweeney said. “People have been so good to us.” Photo by Kassina Ryder Easton said she agreed. Sweet Peach’s Casey Easton and Norma Sweeney are getting ready to move their “We have some very loyal customers,” she store from Perth to Carleton Place. said.

A/C Evacuation & Recharge Service The function of an air conditioner is to help remove the heat and humidity from inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Powered by a belt, the air conditioning compressor compresses the refrigerant to pressurize it and pump it through the system. The refrigerant is pushed through a valve where pressure and temperature are reduced. The now-cool refrigerant travels through the evaporator in the passenger compartment. As a result, cooled air is blown into your vehicle. This refrigerant returns to the compressor where the cycle begins once again. • visually inspect the air conditioning compressor drive belt for cracks or damage • visually inspect accessible components for leaks or damage • check the operation of the air conditioning compressor and other air conditioning components • evacuate refrigerant from the system • vacuum test the system • recharge the air conditioning system using the appropriate refrigerant to the system capacity according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION
Policy, not pandering, please
E
ven with the scorching temperatures experienced across the province over the past few weeks, Ontarians should be forgiven if they thought Christmas had come a few months early this year. The gifts, or promise of, have been flowing freely this summer as part of the relentless efforts by Ontario politicians to win the hearts and minds of voters ahead of the Oct. 6 election. In one corner we have Dalton McGuinty’s Liberal government falling over itself to spend as much money as possible before the fall campaign officially kicks off. In Ottawa alone last week, there were four separate funding announcements made by the Liberals totalling more than $20 million. In the other corner are the Progressive Conservatives and New Democrats, led by Tim Hudak and Andrea Horwath respectively, who have been zipping across the province promising to “put more money in your pocket” and “put yours and your family first.” The policies the opposition parties have been endlessly tooting since the end of the legislative session range from removing the Harmonized Sales Tax from electricity, heating and gasoline to killing the mandatory hydro smart meter program to creating a “buy Ontario” law. With a budget deficit of slightly less than $19 billion for 20102011, Ontario is in no position to take its finances lightly. We don’t have the revenue available to throw away on the whimsy of a government that is trailing in the polls, nor can we afford to remove sources of public revenue based on the populist impulses of the challengers. There are a great many challenges facing this province right now. Health care continues to consume a massive proportion of government resources and the baby boomers have yet to experience the worst frailties of old age. We still have an economy largely oriented towards manufacturing, but has yet to recover from the great recession and is coping with a dollar worth five cents more than the American greenback. We have crumbling infrastructure across the province, but no comprehensive plan to address what ultimately becomes a drain on the econmy.

Digital photography is about to be altered
S
top reading this right now and go to www.lytro.com! You’re back? Were you completely blown away? The world of digital photography is about to be altered in a mind-boggling way. Lytro is a California-based company that has developed a whole new way of taking photographs and dealing with them afterwards. It’s called light field photography and it’s the work of Ren Ng and Charles Chi, two brilliant inventors and businessmen. Chi is a graduate of Carleton University in Ottawa who sold his Ottawa company for the measly sum of $452 million back in the late ’90s and partnered with Ng more recently. Ng had done amazing research and development into light field photography and was approached by several camera companies offering to buy his technology, but he and Chi have decided to go it alone. So, what is this light field stuff ? According to their website, it’s the amount of light travelling in every direction through every point in space – all the light rays in a scene. Apparently, our present cameras cannot capture this, but their cameras can. They promise their cameras will be faster, better in low light, able to change the focus after taking the picture and able to record 3D images. Sounds im-

Graeme
CRABBE Camera Corner pressive. When Ng did his PhD work developing the light field camera, it took hundreds of cameras hooked up to a supercomputer. Since then, Ng has discovered how to put all that technology into a single camera which they hope to release this fall. The cameras themselves will be built in Taiwan and distributed through Lytro. Rather than a sensor in the camera capturing pixels, as we have presently, the new sensor captures the colour, density and vector direction of the light rays, then uses software to work the magic afterwards. Kind of hard to get my mind around it so far as the whole thing is very different from
how digital cameras work presently. Click on the sample photographs on Lytro’s website and see for yourself how the focus can be changed. Pretty cool! Another way of thinking about light field photography is to compare it to recording a band in a studio. Photography up to now would be like using one microphone to record the whole band at once. Light field is like having an individual microphone for each band member, each on its own track so that changes can be made to just one track without affecting all the others (how it is actually done in any studio). One big question everyone is asking is what software will be used to process the photos taken with these new cameras? According to Lytro, software will be included not only in the camera itself, but also on a disc in the box and online. Photoshop and Lightroom will be useless for this new technology. So, should we chuck our digital cameras and wait with bated breath until this fall to get our sweaty paws on a Lytro? I don’t think so. As with any revolutionary new technology, there will be a hesitancy at first to embrace it, then the gradual acceptance of it (if it lives up to the hype), which could take several years. Look back at digital’s journey as an example. I say, “Way to go, Lytro!”
Random summer math
T
hree weeks ago – that’s 21 days ago – I wrote a column about working from home while the kids were off for the summer. That was roughly 14 days into the summer holiday. Here we are, about 22 days in, with about 34 days left to go. That’s 816 hours before school starts. I would go as far as to suggest that 238 of those hours will be spent sleeping, but that’s just crazy talk because everyone knows nobody sleeps that much around here – except maybe Groom-boy. I might be able to snag 170 hours of sleep, which sure sounds like a lot. Incidentally, there are about 50,000 minutes until school starts, but who’s counting? I’m not complaining, by the way, I am just doing a little math here. I love math. Really. Ask anyone. I remember when I was a kid, my mother and her mother (Nanny) used to sometimes head off to Watertown, N.Y. for a week of shopping in the summer. Maybe it was because our dollar was doing really well against the U.S. greenback in those days; I’m not really sure and I haven’t done the research. I remember my brother and I being intrigued by the fact Dad was doing the cooking. I remember him cooking fish and doing a great job. I remember Mom and Nanny coming back with food products we couldn’t get here and telling us about their motel and what they ate for lunch while hanging out to watch the Y&R. I also remember them telling us about how American restaurants served their lunches on platters and that they probably could have shared one meal
Stephanie
GRAY Past Deadline and still come away with leftovers. I don’t remember spending a lot of time dwelling on the fact that Mom and Nanny took off for a week. Maybe I did – I was a worrier and probably needed to know the exact details of the why and how and when. Seven days away from home – that’s 168 hours. I betcha about 49 of those hours featured uninterrupted sleep. If you tend to eat breakfast, lunch and supper, that’s 21 meals cooked and served by someone else. That’s zero dishes to wash. Whoa. Now THAT’s a likeable zero! Now, I should clarify, I am glad to be able to spend time at home with the kids over the summer, but as we get beyond day 20 and they start to squabble and squeal at each other more often, sometimes my last nerve gets exposed. That’s never a good thing. This happens because during summer holidays routines
get dishevelled and, well, I am Type A. I like routine. It is hard for me to just go with the flow. I am not the poster child for living in the moment. In fact, my calculations show I can only relax approximately 2 per cent of the time (based on no one’s science but my own). So, 2 per cent of one hour is 1.2 minutes. That’s 28.8 minutes of every day. This means I’m not even relaxed when I am sleeping, really. (Psst...you may have not noticed this before, but sometimes I am prone to hyperbole.) Anyway, this does not bode well for the remaining 34 days. It works out to about 980 minutes of relaxation – a mere 16 hours. A really good way to throw this math off kilter (besides having me do the calculations), is to add another variable: a vacation. Good idea! Based on the above, one would assume that vacation should happen pretty much immediately in order to alleviate the relaxation deficit. In fact, it probably should have started about 11 days (264 hours, 15,840 minutes) ago in order to have been super effective and timely. Except...the raving lunatics in this family (present company included) thought it would be a good idea to wait until the end of August to do it. That’s about 23 days away (552 hours, 33,120 minutes). I will be relaxed for about 11 hours of that time. Incidentally, that’s about 69 meals left to serve before we go to a cottage where I will be, well, serving more meals – but at least it’s a change of scenery. Oh and Mom? I totally get it.

OP-ED LETTERS
It’s not so much the heat...
Great service from Perth Motors
WARM, EH? co-owners/partners at Perth Motors, were there until 6 p.m. She assured me that she would make sure my tire was safe to get home to the cottage. Jane hustled around tending to the service required on my tire, while also dealing with other clients of the shop and answering the phone. She dealt with everyone with respect and the highest level of service. She also made my three children feel comfortable by showing them around and showing an interest in them. She went over and above in all aspects of our interactions with her. I think Jane is a true gem. It turned out that our tire was not fixable, as Jane had hoped. At this point, one of the Perth Motors’ employees, Guy, was looking at our tire, and could not fix it. He alerted Paul who climbed up to where they store tires to see if he could find one in the same size to replace mine. We were thrilled when he came down with one to fit! Guy went to work right away taking my bad tire off the rim and putting the better tire on. We rolled out of there by 5:30 p.m. and this cost us a very nominal amount. I was thrilled and very impressed. Thank you to Guy, Paul, Jane and all at Perth Motors!
Why silence friendship fountains? Dear Editor, Let not our fountains three be silent and desiccant long before dog-days-of-summer dusk be done, but let them put forth their debonair sparkling under illumination for all our citizen’s nocturnal delight. I feel sorry for the Rotary Club of Perth in all their fundraising to donate these hours-on-hours of pleasure giving fountains in the Tay River Basin because of a cerebral deficit, depriving, and dang-it-all decision by Mayor Fenik and all but one councillor. Yes, 7 p.m. will be the fountains’ bedtime from now on, because of one on-going complainant who has been appeased twice already! This quick drop-in motion oc-
curred at the end of a long town council meeting when wits were low and someone had a kink in the neck! If you prize these fountains lit up in their glory, please let our mayor and council know. And by all means thank a Rotarian profusely for this gem of an attraction in downtown heritage Perth. Oh yeah, the fountains will be turned on late for special occasions. Well, I don’t think Kate and William, our royalty will be coming anytime soon. Your truly for giving the fountains in all their diamond light back to the citizens of Perth at night.

AROMATIZE YOUR GREEN BIN
I can only imagine the number of Beer Store customers who have commented to staff, “Warm, eh? It’s not so much the heat, but the humidity that kills you.” Come on, we’ve all said it. Last week I grumbled many times about the heat. It’s hot in the house. I can’t go for a run outside. I don’t like spotting snakes by the river. That last one wasn’t entirely relative, but you get my point. Then I was handed a bit of perspective. These past couple of weeks I’ve covered the story and have spoken with Deer Lake First Nation residents from northwestern Ontario. They had to evacuate their homes due to the smoke caused by nearby forest fires. Some of the evacuees shared their story about making their way to Smiths Falls. They had 45 minutes to pack up. They flew in an army plane. They didn’t even know where they were going. And for a while, they didn’t know when they’d get to go back. Facing chronic illness and a major shift in their diets, I was amazed by their ability to take it day by day and roll with the punches. The entire situation made me thank my lucky stars. I’m not meaning to be dramatic, but noting how it gave me perspective in just how lucky we are to live in this part of the region, province and country. Maybe for a day it will stop me from complaining about the heat. Or my running woes. Or the snakes by the river.

JAMES Private “I” MADELINE’S FAREWELL PARTY Perth Courier’s Rosanne Lake wrote a nice story two weeks ago about Perth and District Chamber of Commerce’s co-manager, Madeline Bouvier, who’s leaving the old Fire Hall to move to Kingston with her family later this summer. For years, Madeline’s been a chamber anchor and she’ll be missed both at the chamber and within the community. Now’s your chance to wish Madeline all the best, as well as welcome the chamber’s new general manager, Pauline Fitchett. A meet and greet, if you will. This week marks Pauline’s first week on the job, making the gathering a good chance to get to know her. The Stone Cellar will host the event on Wednesday, Aug. 17, from 5-7 p.m., with presentations happening at 6 p.m. Please RSVP the chamber office by Friday, Aug. 12, and you can reach them at 613-267-3200 or welcome@perthchamber.com .
Speaking of complaining, earlier this week, my dog, Tux, and I went to Last Duel Park, and as we trotted home, we were suddenly hit with Eau de Green Bin. Opened green bins lined the streets, and the smell was awful (though Tux seemed more than happy to further investigate). It’s a great waste management program, but it’s tough to deny the summer heat leaves a putrid smell inside the Green Bins. I’ve been struggling with my own green bin aromas, so I conducted some thorough research (Google) to solve this problem. Here are some great tips I found to help eliminate odours and flies. To repel flies, sprinkle salt or vinegar on the rim of the Green Bin. To absorb odours use baking soda, or mask odours with bay, eucalyptus, mint, camphor or pennyroyal leaves. Lemon juice and vinegar also mask odours. If you do encounter maggots, kill them with vinegar or salt. Leave smellier items, like meat and bones out of your Green Bin until collection day, and instead try putting them in a paper bag in the freezer. WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER? On another waste management-related note, Drummond/ North Elmsley Reeve Aubrey Churchill told me last week how the township is now accepting #3-7 containers at its waste management site. The township currently accepts #1 and #2 containers in the Blue Box Program, but the #3-7 must be dropped off at the waste site. Send me your Private I story ideas at cathyjames@live.ca.
New ideas to raise funds Dear Editor, The NCC wants to spend $10 million fixing up Prime Minister Harper’s residence. PM Harper doesn’t want to spend that much money on repairs. What to do? I suggest that the NCC in place of whacking taxpayers do some fundraisers. Take a lesson from some churches or arenas in the area. Have a bake sale. Silent auctions work well. Or sell off such items
as the floor tiles being replaced. Raffle off some of the old rugs. Be open to having advertising throughout the residence. Billboards even. Get with the times, people. Or on a grander scale, do some branding of the various rooms and hallways… Go after those large corporations who have scads of nontaxed profits to spend. The Scotia Dining Room springs to mind.
Or a bedroom named, Trudeau Slept Here. This would come in handy, if worse came to worst, and PM Harper had to follow the custom of penurious royals in England who make money by having escorted tours through their deteriorating castles. Come on, NCCers, do some brainstorming. Jim Deacove RR 4, Perth

Dear Editor, I am writing today to tell you about my experience with Perth Motors this past Tuesday afternoon (July 19, 2011). My three kids, my parents-inlaw and I had come into Perth for the afternoon to do some shopping. At about 4 p.m., I checked my tire pressure. As I suspected one of my tires was down to no pressure. I filled it up and headed into a tire store to see if I could get some help. The woman working at the desk basically laughed at me when I said I needed help that day, she was “swamped.” I went on to explain to her that we were 45 minutes away from our cottage with a fully loaded van of people and a tire that was dangerous. She said she could squeeze me in the next day. Since that was not going to work (an extra 1.5 hours driving on that tire could have wound me up in the ditch), I asked if there were any other tire shops in Perth. She said there was Perth Motors but she suspected they would be as swamped as she was. We headed to Perth Motors arriving around 4:30 p.m. We were greeted warmly by Jane, who at the time I thought could not be for real, but she was for real! She explained to me that the guys go home at 5 p.m. but that she and her brother Paul,

Belleville playwright Carl C. Cashin was intrigued by the stories of the “mail-order” romances that flourished in early 20th century western Canada. They were tales of intrepid women who accepted the challenge to travel thousands of miles to marry hardworking, rugged farmers whom they had never met, and with whom they’d hoped to make a new life. These early settlers were pioneers in the truest sense of the word, living often in unbelievably primitive conditions. But they had dreams and hopes for a new land and a new prosperity. So Carl created the fictional character of Annie O’Ryan, one of those adventurous women who accepted the challenge to go west. Her story became an award winning play. Mail-Order Annie was originally conceived as a one-act play revolving around the meeting of Annie and her intended husband, John Proctor. While it went on to win numerous awards, people kept asking him, “What happened next?” They wanted to know more about Annie and John and whether their union was a success. So Carl completed the story in a full-length play.

Annie has arrived at her destination, and now nervously awaits the arrival of John Proctor, the man she hopes to marry and spend the rest of her life with. Trouble is, John Proctor turns out to be far from her dream husband, and their meeting is both comical and touching. From that encounter, we follow Annie and John as they experience the

Golf carts run rampant Officers from the Perth OPP detachment are investigating an incident at the Links O’Tay Golf Club last Friday in which three golf carts were removed from a shed and driven across the course. Police report that those persons involved in the incident drove the carts over the greens and damaged four pin placements. After the “midnight ride” was over, two of the carts were returned to the storage shed, while another was found at Centennial Park (behind Stewart School). A final estimate of damage to

A twofold campaign is underway by the RCMP and the Ontario Provincial Police in this area to cut down traffic and boating accidents. Last Sunday, RCMP officers warned 25 boat drivers regarding infractions under the Small Vessels Regulation Act. Speaking to the officers who policed Otty Lake, they stated that some of the boats operated on that lake were not fully equipped with the necessary safety devices. Many boats did not carry lifejackets and fire extinguishers, and very few had water bailers. Numerous boaters were warned regarding the use of 10 horsepower and over motors on boats that are not registered. Insp. Whitty of the OPP told The Courier yesterday that police patrols will be stepped up throughout the whole district in order to curtail road traffic accidents. The inspector, who attended a conference of the OPP in Toronto on July 22, headed by the Attorney General, said a great deal was accomplished and the various districts will have increases made in their staffs, and he had asked for an additional 30 officers. At the present time the No. 10 District force consists of 111 men who are responsible for patrolling 710 miles of King’s Highway and 6,547 miles of county and township roads.
The preceding was originally published in The Perth Courier of July 30, 1986 as the “25 years ago” news.

Following complaints concerning the parking on Peter Street on the north side, the police committee discussed the parking problem with Mr. Perkins. It was recommended that “No Parking” signs should be erected on the north side of Peter Street from Wilson Street approximately 100 feet westerly, to the first metered area, and the parking bylaw will be amended accordingly. The police committee is in favour of permitting trucks to stand in this proposed no-parking area while actually loading and unloading.

ntario Provincial Police report that a group of men operating as chimney repair experts are in this area. Their headquarters are unknown. One elderly lady in the Portland district is reported to have paid about $870 for a chimney repair. These men, police say, visit different areas and pick on elderly people, telling them their chimney is dangerous and they would like to repair it for a small fee. They are very smooth-talking operators and, after commencing repairs, generally find more work needs to be done than at first they said was necessary. They know full well the victim is unable to verify their statements.

Yakabuski, who has represented the area as a Tory since the 1960s, until the next election. Wiseman says Yakabuski has indicated he will not be running in the next election. Asked if he will be seeking the nomination for the new riding, Wiseman was noncommittal, but did say an experienced politician should run in Lanark-Renfrew. “It would be better for someone like myself to run in order to bring the people together,” said Wiseman. “It would make more sense for someone who has represented the larger part of the riding to run,” he added. Wiseman also noted it would make it tougher for opposition parties to win the new riding if someone like himself stepped into the fray to represent the Tories in Lanark-Renfrew. The inclusion of the RenfrewArnprior area in the new riding “looks good for our party,” noted Wiseman, who said there are many solid Tory supporters in that area.

arlier this month the provincial government formally changed electoral boundaries in the riding of Lanark and, starting with the next provincial election, voters in Arnprior and Renfrew will be a part of the new riding of Lanark-Renfrew. The new riding contains the existing Lanark riding plus the towns of Arnprior and Renfrew, the village of Braeside and the townships of Admaston, Bagot and Blithefield, Horton and McNab. The change increases the riding physically by about one-third. In total, there were four primarily rural ridings wiped out in the redistribution, and Lanark MPP Doug Wiseman feels the rural voice at Queen’s Park has been weakened. “I felt they shouldn’t lose those four rural seats,” said Wiseman this week. He spoke against the changes in the legislature, saying the changes bring down the number of rural seats from 30 to 24. He felt the province should have treated rural ridings the same as those in northern Ontario — change the boundaries, perhaps, but leave the same number of seats. Wiseman said rural ridings are different in nature and in geography than metropolitan ridings. “In many of the cities they (the local MPPs) can walk around them in a day,” he stated. In a rural riding, notes Wiseman, the MPP is invited to many more local functions and must travel lengthy distances. He has attended as many as five in one day, he says. The people in the Renfrew-Arnprior area will continue to be served by their current MPP, Paul

Perth track star set to lace up for Southern Illinois BY GEOFF DAVIES geoff.davies@perthcourier.com
Speaking with track star Evelyn Scott, you’d think she sounded like a slacker. Far from it. The recent graduate of Perth and District Collegiate Institute left there averaging As, and now holds down a summer job at a local day camp, all the while making time for hour-and-a-half treks to Ottawa for track practice, and frequent meets to boot. But, as she sees it, her greatest challenge lies ahead. “It’s scary to think that I’m going to university,” she said. “Now I’m going to have to start working hard.” After making it to the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association track finals and then the Canadian Junior Championships in her final season at PDCI, Scott is leaving with nine school records and heading to Southern Illinois University Carbondale. A city of more than 26,000 people southeast of St. Louis, Carbondale is where Scott, 17, will study kinesiology. “I chose that university because they were the first ones to call me. No email, no letters, a call on the phone in October,” Scott recalled. The school recruited her, offering her an athletic scholarship to run for them in the NCAA’s Missouri Valley Conference during both the indoor and outdoor seasons. Her other suitors included Marshall University, the University of British Columbia, and Miami University in Ohio. The one-year agreement is renewable for a maximum of four years, based on the athlete’s performance in the classroom and commitment to the team.
With the school year around the corner, Scott’s papers are all signed, cementing her exclusivity agreement with the school and the league. The competition will be tough there, in Division One, but that, she said, is the whole point. “I want to be running against the best.” Makes sense. After all, it was competing with the best that got her this far. She was brought up in a family of runners, and her nine school records – in sprints, hurdles and relay races of varying lengths and age levels – place her alongside her father and uncles. “There are lots of Scotts up there, on the PDCI record board,” she said. As a member of the Ottawa Lions Athletics Club, Scott also found herself facing off against Sam Murphy, another Perth track phenomenon, who made the jump from St. John Catholic High School to the University of Illinois last year. “Having to race against her was probably the best thing that could’ve happened to my career,” Scott said. “Every time I ran (against Murphy) I got a personal best… she beat me every time, but it was a friendly competition.” Scott said she wants to thank all her coaches – she also competed for PDCI in volleyball and cross-country running – for getting her excited about sports. At least one wants to return the favour. “When coaches from other schools would ask me about her, I would always tell them she is that rare athlete who has a tremendous amount of ability met with a tremendous work ethic,” said Justin McNamee, Scott’s former PDCI track coach. McNamee listed some of Scott’s

Before competing at the OFSAA provincial track finals, Evelyn Scott raced at the Lanark County Interschool Athletic Association’s track and field finals on May 11 and 12, in Carleton Place, finishing first in the 200m, 400m and 400m hurdles events. athletic achievements. “In Grade 10, Evelyn became the first PDCI female to ever break the 60-second barrier in the 400-metre, which is rare at any age.” She holds many meet records and county records, he said, but the records she set at PDCI “matches the Olympian Sultana Frizell for the most at our school, none of which will be broken anytime soon.” Scott, who counts being a police officer among her many
dreams for the future, said she sometimes wonders why she got into track. “Why did I pick one of the hardest hobbies? I think I get cranky when I don’t run. When I’m sitting around, I can’t sit still. I feel better when I go for a run,” she said. “There’s not a lot of glory in track, no one really watches it, but I love it.” Being part of a team – like the PDCI track team, or the Lions, or any four-person relay squad
– is one of the best aspects of the sport, she said. She looks forward to joining her new team in September, Carbondale’s Salukis. (“It’s a racing dog, almost like a greyhound. Very fierce,” she said of the school’s mascot.) With any luck, her new teammates in Illinois will bring out the best in her, just like her many teammates in Perth and area have done up to now. “It’s easier to give up on yourself when you’re only letting down yourself.”
Fitness key for kidney disease patient his grandmother donated a kidney. That donation gave him more than four years of reprieve from dialysis, which had become part of his routine, consuming much of Gangier’s time. While experiencing that break, Gangnier travelled extensively seeing Italy, Mexico and
much of Canada. He is now on dialysis again, and has been for about three and a half years, waiting for another transplant. This time, though, he is on nocturnal dialysis, which allows him to undergo it at home and at night. See Gangnier page 14

Kayden Gangnier knows how important physical activity is to maintaining health. The 21-year-old Brooke Valley resident was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease when he was eight years old. Even though he has been through years of dialysis, a transplant, and is now back on dialysis, Gangnier still participates in a variety of athletics. He’s taking that love of sports one step further this August and putting his best foot forward hoping to encourage others to focus on fitness – no matter what their health concerns are. Gangnier is racing in the upcoming Alive to Strive Race, a fundraiser in support of those suffering with chronic kidney disease.
causes, Gangnier had to trek back and forth to Ottawa for dialysis. He did so for six years, including two years of going for dialysis four days a week for six hours at a time. He then received a kidney transplant at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto when

The five-kilometre run will take place Sunday, Aug. 14 at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility on Riverside Drive in Ottawa. “I think the race is a great way to get renal patients and people with kidney failure out and active,” he said. “Being fit and physically active is one important way that renal patients and people with kidney failure can improve their lives.” Gangnier said that being active is a large part of his life, keeping him mentally fit, too. He currently focuses on snowboarding and swimming, and recently joined a local tennis club. He is also active in soccer, scuba diving and motocross. In fact, he has just taken up white water kayaking as well. “I live a very active life – with four brothers, you have no choice but to be active,” he said, laughing. After he developed chronic kidney disease through genetic

HOLE IN ONE! Blue Heron Golf Club in Lanark is celebrating its third hole in one. This one was shot on Friday, July 22. The golfer, Art Gillingham was playing his Men’s Night match play when it happened on hole No. 7. It was witnessed by his match play opponent John Gautier.
Gangnier to run in race
From page 13 He said nocturnal dialysis involves administering it himself, five nights a week for about eight and a half hours each time. Gangnier said a night-time schedule allows larger doses of hemodialysis per week. He said more time is spent dialyzing and there are shorter periods between treatments which makes a big difference when coupled with avoiding the trips into the city each day. “It gives me a better quality of life – I’m able to eat a better range of food, my head’s clear and I don’t have to drive to Ottawa for dialysis,” he said. Gagnier said because there is so much toxin buildup when kidneys fail, it has the ability to impair cognitive function. Within a year of nocturnal dialysis, he was noticing huge changes in his academic abilities. He said he was suddenly able to read at a normal level, simply because this type of dialysis can remove more toxins. For him to administer it himself, he had to take a six-week course and then complete another four-week learning session. Throughout it all, though, Gangnier stayed active in sports. In fact, with his nightly dialysis schedule in place, it frees up his days to take part in more recreational activities – like the Alive to Strive race. His mother, Lynn Daniluk, is helping with the organizational aspect of the race while his father, Glenn Gangnier, will be running in the race alongside Kayden. He said he’ll likely drag some of his brothers out to the event, too, and already has several friends who will be joining
in the race. According to the Kidney Foundation, recent estimates suggest that as many as two million Canadians have chronic kidney disease or are at risk. The event is designed to suit a variety of fitness levels and is meant for all ages. Participants range from seasoned competitive runner, to sufferers of chronic kidney disease, to young fami-

“That gave us confidence because we performed well in terms of finishing but didn’t expend a lot of energy,” she said. “We came in with the goal of racing to challenge for gold and that first race showed us that goal was realistic.” Goodfellow said that on Sunday, the focus was on sticking to their game plan and executing the race how the crew had practiced. “There was a strong tailwind so conditions helped us, but that also became the focus for our coach (Michelle Darvill). “The way she was talking to us made of confident.” After she finishes travelling, Goodfellow plans to head back over the pond to Ottawa to finish school. She’s entering her last year of the psychology program at the University of Ottawa, and is also in her last year of competing at the under-23 level in rowing. She said she wants to pursue rowing at the senior level, and will move to London at some point to train with the National Team, ultimately with her eye on competing at the Olympics. Until then, Goodfellow can revel in the memories of the past week and enjoy being on top of the world.

Kate Goodfellow’s voice on the other of the phone sounds giddy and as though she’s smiling, even though she’s talking at about 10 p.m. from Paris. Small wonder as the Perth resident was recently part of the women’s under-23 eight boat that broke both Canadian and world records at the World Rowing U23 Championships in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Goodfellow, who sits four seat, said the results garnered with her crew still seem surreal. “When we trialed the boat we put up a fast time, but we never thought we’d eventually set a world best time,” she said. “We’re really excited. We didn’t realize what had happened at first, and were celebrating the win after the race, but then we heard it announced and were absolutely shocked.” It’s the first time a Canadian crew has captured the gold medal in this category, in this event. The crew not only broke national records, winning in 6:03.23, but also shat-
tered world best times on the Bosbaan course. Canada crossed the finish line almost three seconds ahead of second place New Zealand, who took silver in 6:06.02. The United States earned bronze in 6:07.37. Goodfellow had a shaky start to the competition. She suffered a rib injury in training, she speculates from overuse, while in Belgium the week before the worlds. “I was off the water for a few days,” she said, noting the situation proved stressful. The crew headed to Amsterdam and Goodfellow was able to get back on the water a few days before competition with no adverse reactions. Because there were only six boats entered in the 2000-metre championship race, it was a straight final. Goodfellow said the competitors raced once to decide which lanes each boat would be in during the final event. It was during the first race for lanes, that Goodfellow said the girls knew they had a chance to go for gold. The Canadian crew had the lead in the first 1000 metres of the race, but then New Zealand pushed ahead to win the lane contest.

Stingrays swim to success at nationals ROSANNE LAKE rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com

The Perth Stingrays had a lot to be proud of last week. Three Stingrays represented the local aquatics club at the Canadian Age Group long course Championships, in Montreal – and were on top of their game. In the first day of competition last Wednesday, Bailey Andison placed second in the 13-year-old 50-metre breaststroke, with a time of 34.16. Stingrays head coach, Rod Agar, said that time is just shy of the senior national standard of 34.11 seconds. “She was just 9/100ths of a second behind the winner,” he said via email while still at the competition at Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal. Andison also qualified seventh to compete in the final of the 100 m breaststroke swimming on day two of competition on Friday, but results were not known as of press time. “The meet has 1,665 of Canada’s best and fastest age group swimmers in attendance,” he said. On the second day of competition, Perth’s Olivia Ellard placed fourth in the final of the 13-year-old girls 50 m backstroke with a time of 32.29 second. Previously, on Thursday, Ellard placed tenth in the final of the 13-yearold girls 200 m backstroke with a time of 2:32.25. In addition, Dakota Plant finished

Cycle tour setting up camp in Perth rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com
About 1,800 cyclists will descend on Perth this weekend, as the Grand Tour Desjardins makes the town a stop on its inaugural route in Ontario. From Aug. 6 to 12 the massive caravan of cyclists will cover about 600 kilometres, pedaling through the countryside from Brockville to Belleville. Cyclists will ride for three days along the Rideau Heritage Route, followed by four days in the Thousand Islands region. Joelle Sevigny, executive director of Velo Quebec Voyages et Evenements, said that cyclists have been asking the company to hold the Grand Tour in Ontario for several years. “We spent a lot of time examining this possibility in order to come up with an ideal itinerary highlighting the
most beautiful areas of southern Ontario while offering a selection of exceptional routes for cyclists of different levels,� she said. The cyclists will be calling Perth home for the first night of their seven-day journey. The tour is unique in that a village is set up and dismantled at every stage of the route, which serves as the campsite and the finish point of each route. According to information from tour organizers, the village allows cyclists to have access to a host of services including meals, sanitary facilities, a first-aid station, a sports medicine therapist, massage therapists, a mechanics booth and an internet room.

Local teens creating team for ball hockey tournament in Tampa andrew.snook@metroland.com
A couple of Smiths Falls teens are looking to get the ball rolling for a competitive ball hockey tournament this fall. Ryley Saumure and Adam Muldoon are hoping to put together a team of local players to compete at the 2011 Tampa Bay Shootout from Oct. 21 to 23 in Tampa Bay, Fl. The 18-year-old recent graduate from St. John Catholic High School in Perth said he has played ball hockey competitively for several years, and recently represented Canada at the World Ball Hockey Championships where his team won gold. Muldoon said he has been playing ball hockey competitively for about 18 months. “We’re putting a team together to go to Tampa Bay for a big tournament in October,� Saumure said. “We’re holding open tryouts in August.� He said he is currently setting up the tryouts at the gymnasium in the old Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, located at 2 Gould St. in Smiths Falls. Saumure said he and Muldoon are organizing four sessions where players can come out and compete for a spot on the team.
The sessions will cost $5 each. Saumure said anyone interested in playing defence or forward positions should bring athletic shorts, running shoes, regular hockey gloves, a hockey stick and a water bottle. Anyone interested in the goaltending position should bring goalie pads, a glove, blocker, helmet, goalie stick, a protective athletic cup and a water bottle. “It’s the biggest tournament for ball hockey in North America,� Saumure said. For more information, contact Saumure at riley_saumure-53@hotmail.com.
