Not-too-handy man coming to Perth

Garlic wafts into town this weekend

Red Green is coming to Perth Oct. 18. Green, North America’s champion of under achieving men everywhere, returns to the stage with a brand new one-man show, How To Do Everything (From the Man who should know). Based on his best selling book of the same name, audiences will get DIY tips, relationship advice and as a bonus, an environmental action plan. “Like fertilizer,” Green notes. “It may be spread thinly over many ﬁelds, but you know it’s there.” Red Green (aka Steve Smith) has played to sold-out houses in Canada and the U.S. garnering rave reviews! This fall our hapless handyman will take to the stage in Ontario for ﬁve shows between Oct. 17 and 21 visiting Newmarket, Perth, North Bay, Parry Sound and Chatham. All shows are on sale now! Tickets for the Perth show are available by calling 613-485-6434 or visit the website: www. ticketsplease.ca

The stinking rose is on display in one form or another this weekend at the Perth Garlic Festival. For almost two decades, the festival, hosted by the Perth Lions Club, has brought in vendors and guests from miles around. The event runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. This year, more than 70 artisans and food vendors will be set up at the fairgrounds where guests will be able to purchase and sample many different garlic offerings Cooking demonstrations will also be ongoing throughout both days of the festival. Face painting, musical entertainment, birds of prey, beer and wine tasting, and a silent art auction are some added activities. Saturday, watch for Perth’s Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) volunteers who will be offering free face painting. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. there will be live music by the Doherty Brothers. Birds of prey will be ﬂying around for three separate shows, located near the Commerce Building. Times will be 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Beer and wine tasting will take place in the Lions Hall from noon to 4 p.m.

E-tourism panel helps local industry navigate digital waters Ashley Kulp

With new social media tools popping up frequently, it can be hard to choose which one is right for your business. A July 24 panel discussion at The Excelerator Business Incubator in Smiths Falls helped take away a lot of that guesswork. The event brought together a panel of four leading experts in the growing e-tourism industry, who shared their tricks of the trade with tour operators, restaurateurs, retailers, museums, maple syrup producers and other attraction/accommodation-based businesses. The discussion, moderated by Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association executive director Anne Marie Forcier, featured Matthew Lee, senior researcher at booking.com; Dan Maccarone, New York City-based co-founder of production design company Charming Robot; as well as Kristina Mausser and Jeff Parks, co-owners of Kina’ole, a management consulting company based in Smiths Falls, specializing in digital strategy. Mausser said the concept for the panel began “as an idea, as all great ideas do.” She and Parks moved to town last October and serve up digital strategies to clients around the world. Their work takes them to Europe, the Caribbean and Mexico. “We wondered how we could help our local community…we want more people to come to the

area and fall in love with it as well,” said Mausser, who is from Ottawa but spent many summers on Big Rideau Lake. “We thought of a panel discussion to help all of you and bring our friends to the table,” she added. Maccarone, who is marking his 20th year in the digital world in 2015, said plenty has changed since he first started out, but “the same things that apply to big companies, apply to small companies and the same things that apply to start-ups apply to big companies.” Parks indicated that first and foremost, if businesses want to develop a digital presence, they need to find out who their users are and more importantly, take themselves out of the equation when creating online tools. “A website is not intended for you or like-minded businesses. It’s intended for people who know nothing about you,” he said, stressing that the product is important, but it’s ultimately service that sells people. Lee, who is based in Amsterdam and has previously worked at Amazon and Zappos, brought a different perspective to the table, as he has an international focus through selling hotels and accommodations online. “You do have to think internationally. Think outside of this community,” he stated. “… There’s a bigger world and how can you make yourselves more marketable to the world.”

that by doing research, “you start to build an understanding of who they (users) are.” The picture-posting app Instagram has gained popularity among travel companies and restaurants, Maccarone also pointed out. It proves a picture can be worth a thousand words. “You use amazing amateur visuals to attract people. It can be of a park or of a plate of food,” he said. “It’s about showcasing what your business is about and that gets people really excited on Instagram. While he loves Twitter, Maccarone said it isn’t always effective for marketing and promoting businesses. “The life of a tweet is about ﬁve minutes so think of the value in that for the promotion of your event or business,” he said. “I’m not trying to discount the value of Twitter, I think it has a lot of value, but it’s all about conversation and you have to be on it all the time. You could use it as a way to let people follow the event by posting pictures and video.” And forget about hiring someone to design a costly website. The panel indicated there are many free website templates out there today that will suit any business’ needs. Taking advantage of other tools out there instead of reinventing the wheel can also save time and money. Lee said accommodations are instantly bookable, 24 hours a day, seven days a week around the world with booking.com. Developing a website and a booking option through it may be more work than it’s worth. “There’s the potential of 30 to 40 million people every day having access to your property. It’s hard to compete and build that with a website. It’s a lot of money, a lot of effort and a lot of upkeep, but if you can use a vehicle that will do it all for you, then it makes it easier and makes you more accessible to

the public,” he said. “If you’re a small organization, how do you keep it up-to-date all the time?” added Mausser. “It’s a lot of onus on the business owner and that’s a lot of money to invest when it isn’t your primary business...It’s all about leveraging tools.” However, if you do have a website and wish to continue enhancing it, Parks said ensuring it is mobile friendly is a must. “That means that I can go to your website on my phone and I don’t have to zoom in. Everything is there and it’s clear and concise,” he explained. If you’re in the accommodation business, Maccarone said designing it for business travelers, planners and bargain hunters is also crucial. “Anything I design for people I check my ego at the door because I’m not the customer. It’s hard to wrap your head around that,” he remarked. “You aren’t the user. Just remember that when you’re building the website,” added Lee. Susan Fournier, executive director of Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation, wondered what advice the panel had on complaints posted online. Mausser said many people are quick to post negative opinions online as they can hide behind their phones or computers, but that businesses should always “be authentic and transparent with how you answer” a complaint. “Never get dragged down to anyone else’s level,” she said. Maccarone, who also owns a restaurant in New York City, said his establishment has received plenty of good reviews, but sometimes gets negative ones about bartenders or wait staff. “First off, ﬁnd out if the review is accurate and if it is, ﬁnd out how you can help the person,” he stated, echoing Mausser’s comments. “Being transparent and being honest is really critical.”

Mills Coun. Jane Torrance, who is also chair of Almonte Celtfest, wondered when to expand beyond an audience. “I know where our audience is, but should we go outside our area to bring our audience up or stay within it, where we know we’re getting day trippers, etc.,” she asked. “What should we use? Facebook versus paid newspaper ads or radio and TV ads?” Lee stressed that the first step is figuring out what the end goal is. “What do you want to do? Do you want to keep a consistent base going or grow somewhere else? It all depends on the goal of your company,” he said. Maccarone said traditional advertising is becoming a challenge as the digital world explodes. “There are fewer and fewer people who are buying newspapers and magazines or watching TV. To put it bluntly, they are going away (passing away) and a new generation is coming,” he explained. “Thinking about how you access your audience online is important.” He suggested utilizing bloggers as a method of advertising businesses and festivals or Ashley Kulp/METROLAND purchasing Facebook ads. “I wouldn’t waste my time on Twit- Susan Fournier, right, executive director of Valley Heartland Community Futures Develter or Instagram ads.

United Counties pass Official Plan; final approval up to ministry The following are highlights from the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held July 23 at the county building in Brockville. A counties-wide Official Plan (OP) has been adopted by counties council and will now be sent to the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for final approval. The approval process could take six months to one year. The Official Plan has gone through an extensive process of review and public consultation over the past 18 months. “It was a lengthy process but a good process. We incorporated all of the input from the local municipalities,” said counties planner Sandy Hay. Open house sessions were held for public interest groups and councils. “There were three drafts over the course of the process,” he said. Three amendments were made to the plan prior to its approval. Counties chief administrative officer, Andy Brown called the amendments “clarifications of language used.” Once approved by the province, counties council will have approval authority for all local Official Plan amendments and updates. A counties-level OP is required by the province.

Corporate services director and treasurer appointed Bylaws to appoint a corporate services director and a treasurer were passed by counties council at the regular meeting July 23. The appointments follow the retirement of former treasurer and director of corporate services, Nigel White and the restructuring of the corporate services, administration and public works divisions. The restructuring and appointments were approved by the committee of the whole earlier this month. Kristen Argue-Hobbs has been appointed as the director of corporate services. Argue-Hobbs will move from the human resources manager position. Pat Huffman, who has held the accounting services manager and deputy treasurer position, is appointed as treasurer. Nancy McMahon will be appointed as deputy treasurer at the September counties council meeting. As part of the restructuring, the duties of treasurer and director of corporate services have been separated. Seven departments have been consolidated under the corporate services division. These include: accounting and ﬁnancial services, information technology, provincial offences, human resources, public safety, geographi-

verts on County Road 10. Les Shepherd, director of works, told counties council the Hagan culvert replacement will only require a partial road closure. The Crosby Creek culvert work will require full closure of up to 21 days in September. “Efforts will be made to shorten the length of a total closure,” he said. Hagan and Crosby Creek culverts were installed in 1968 when County Road 10 was reconstructed. The Crosby Creek culvert failed in May 2015 and required emergency repairs. The Hagan culvert also shifted this spring causing a depression in the road. Counties council passed a bylaw at the July 23 meeting awarding the replacement project to the lowest of ﬁve project bidders – Clarence McDonald Excavating Inc.

Commentary

Check on them

ealth officials and emergency responders were encouraging the public during last week’s heat alert to check on family members, neighbours and friends who are at greater risk of suffering negative consequences from the high temperatures and humidity. That’s a great message that could and should be applied to other areas in which certain segments of the population are facing increased risk due to conditions that are beyond their control. When it comes to financial vulnerability, it’s important to spread the word in order to avoid being taken as part of some scam or scheme. For example, many people throughout our coverage area have received phone calls from someone claiming to be in law enforcement and/or connected with Revenue Canada (which now goes by Canada Revenue Agency) and who tries to scare the caller into thinking that he or she has to run out and purchase prepaid credit cards in order to avoid being arrested for allegedly being delinquent on pay-

ing taxes that aren’t actually owed. The vast majority of people receiving those calls know right away that it’s a scam or suspect it’s not a legitimate call and hang up, but those calls would not be taking place if there weren’t a few victims out there who, for whatever reason, believed the threat was real and lost money in the process. So when phone scams like that are making the rounds, why not share the warning with people who are more susceptible to being victimized? Having that conversation could serve a useful purpose and prevent an embarrassing and costly situation from occurring. There’s a reason that police services continue to remind the public to be careful about deals that are too good to be true or to be bullied or scared into signing purchase agreements or sending money to someone with whom they have never dealt. Whether it’s oppressive weather or some other potential threat, checking on those who are at greater risk is a good practice to follow.

Quite a bit of ceremony involved in the day of thrashing Regardless what it said in the dictionary, everyone at Northcote called it “thrashing.” Threshing was a foreign word to the farmers who gathered at the homesteads this time of year to separate the grain from the chaff. To us five kids, the day was almost as good as going off to the Renfrew Fair. We didn’t go to school that day. Every hand was needed on the farm. Chores would have to be done before the sun was up on thrashing day, and certainly breakfast over with and the kitchen made ready for 15 or 20 men Mother would be feeding at dinner. Neighbours came when their own chores were out of the way, and they would gather in the barn yard, leaning on their wagons, smoking their pipes and passing the time until Mr. Briscoe with his team of horses pull-

ing the big thrashing machine came through the gate. And then it was time. Teams of horses would bring in the sheaves from the fields, feed them into the big machine, coaxed into action, once bright red, but now faded from the elements. The noise was deafening as the thrasher chugged away under the blistering hot sun. My three brothers worked right alongside the men, and I, when I wasn’t pressed into service in the kitchen, pulled a chair up to the window, looking out into the barn yard, watching

all our neighbours working as one. My sister Audrey had the job of keeping the granite pail of water filled to the brim, with shards of ice from the ice house floating on top. One tin cup would serve all who wanted to stop for a cold drink of water. In the house, the kitchen would be beastly hot. All night the big haunch of beef would be cooking in the oven. The day before thrashing, Aunty who came each year to help, would have turned out eight to 10 pies, and they would be on the bake table, already cut in four. All morning the kitchen buzzed with dinner preparations. The old pine table wouldn’t hold all the men, so three planks stretched across chair backs. The planks were covered with a thick quilt, and

then sparkling white flour bag sheets, all to take care of the overflow. Every last plate, cup and saucer, and every piece of cutlery was spread out on the two tables, and it was my job to go outside and into the dark hole under the

house which served as a cellar and was the bane of my existence, and bring up at least four different kinds of pickles from the swinging shelves. There was little formality back then. The full jars were put two to a table, with a big serving spoon at each.

urgency. God placed an overwhelming desire on my heart to help this young couple. There was no turning back. I had been a conference and event planner for the federal government for years, and once again, it was time to jump into service. I started preparing emails to all my musical friends and sent them out within a couple of hours. By daybreak, Jack Denovan picked up on my Facebook posting and offered to be the emcee for the event, which I gladly accepted. Since working together, Jack has become my Magic Man. That day, I also started the booking process of the Almonte Civitan Hall, where, several years ago, I wrote and produced five very successful murder mystery dinners as community fundraising events with the now-defunct Valley Players of Almonte. My hat’s off to the Civitan Club of Almonte. Then, I thought, why not hold a silent auction at the event? I prepared a poster and a covering letter to be hand delivered to several businesses in the Carleton Place, Almonte and Pakenham cor-

I especially want to thank those businesses who responded cheerfully by donating some really wonderful items for the silent auction, along with their good wishes to Bill and Casey. And where would any fundraiser go without the help of our local Metroland Media newspapers that reaches out into our homes in the Valley, and our fabulous radio stations Lake 88, Jack FM, Y101 and Valley Heritage Radio. Thank you, everyone, for helping me to build what I envision will be a wonderful day for everyone. Folks, if you have any time at all on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 9 (2 to 5 p.m.) I would encourage you to come out to the Civitan Hall in Almonte and enjoy some of the Valley’s finest music. One thing you won’t be is disappointed, and you will come away knowing that you have helped this young couple through a very dark time in their lives. Leslie Flynn Perth

Stay cool during extreme heat alerts

Triathletes put to the test

Submitted photo

Six area triathletes recently competed in the Lake Placid Ironman Triathlon, which included a 4km open water swim, followed by a 180km bike ride and a 42km run. The athletes above, include: Jenn Bonn of Smiths Falls, Corey Turnbull of Jasper, Zoey Jervis, Eldon Paisley and Kerri Choffe of Perth, and Phillipa Thompson of Kemptville.

Ontario’s Interim Chief Medical Officer of Health is reminding all Ontarians to protect themselves and their families from extreme heat this summer. Dr. David Williams is asking people to take simple measures to avoid heat-related illness as temperatures in parts of the province soar. Moving to a cool place and drinking plenty of cool liquids – especially water – is the best way to protect your health during extreme heat. Other protective measures Ontarians can take include: • Wearing loose-fitting, lightcoloured clothing and widebrimmed hats made of breathable fabric • Planning outdoor activities during cooler parts of the day or choosing indoor locations with air conditioning or outdoor locations with shade (tree-shaded areas can be as much as five degrees Celsius cooler than a surrounding, non-shaded area) • Taking extra breaks if you must do physical activity in extreme heat, removing gear to let your body cool off and drinking lots of water • Taking cool baths or showers • Keeping your home cool by turning off indoor lights; clos-

ing awnings, curtains or blinds to block out the sun; and using an air conditioner at the highest, comfortable setting (between 22 and 26 degrees Celsius) or if using a window unit, cooling one room where you can go for relief from the heat. “You can become ill if your body is exposed to too much heat and is unable to properly cool,” Dr. Williams stated. “That’s why it’s important to take the necessary precautions to remain cool while at home or outside.” Dr. Williams is also asking people to check on friends, family and neighbours regularly who may be at high risk during extreme heat. Those most vulnerable include infants and young children, older adults and people with chronic medical conditions like heart disease or diabetes. If you have concerns about any symptoms, contact your health care provider right away. Check with your local public health unit for updates on local air quality, the location of the nearest cooling centre, public pool and other information. “Ontarians can beat the heat this summer by taking extra measures to stay cool. Dress for the weather, keep your homes cool, shade yourself from direct

sunlight and drink lots of water,” said Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. Other tips Never leave people or pets inside parked vehicles as temperatures inside can become extremely dangerous during hot days and reach over 50 degrees Celsius. Symptoms of heat illness can include dizziness, nausea and headache. If you, a family member or someone you know are experiencing symptoms of heat illness, immediately move to a cool place and drink liquids. Water is best. Extreme heat can also cause adverse health effects including heat cramps (usually in the legs or abdomen), heat edema (swelling of the hands, feet and ankles), heat exhaustion (characterized by heavy sweating, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and fainting) and heat stroke. Heat stroke is a medical emergency with symptoms including dizziness, confusion and an altered mental state. Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately if you are caring for someone who has a high body temperature and is either unconscious, confused or has stopped sweating.

Trip to watch ‘Canada’s baseball team’ summer treat far between. Ask the Toronto Blue Jays and their fans. Jays are the MLB team with the longest active playoff drought. Toronto hasn’t made the post-season since winning back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and 1993. Do you remember Joe Carter’s three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning that won the ‘93 series over Philadelphia Phillies? It is one of the greatest moments in Canadian sports history. Jays’ supporters Following the demise of the Expos my father switched his allegiance to the Blue Jays. He retained soft spots for both the Indians and Tigers, teams he had seen play in person on many occasions during his lifetime. My son and I were slower to follow our father and grandfather mainly due to the long-time rivalry between Jays and Tigers in the AL. But we now back the Blue Jays. The only time we switch our allegiance is the few times they face Detroit during the 162 game season. Because Jays and Tigers are in different divisions they only play each other seven times, one series in each other’s park. What a shame considering the proximity of the cities and the hot rivalry that once existed between the ball clubs. These days Tigers play teams such as Kansas City, Cleveland and the Minnesota Twins 19 times each. Jays’ have a similar schedule against their East Division rivals including the Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles. I am not a supporter of interleague play. But it appears to be here to stay. I would much rather see Jays take on teams like the Tigers rather than facing clubs like the Arizona Diamondbacks or San Diego Padres (among others) which happens from time-to-time. Inter-league plays often sees teams with no history whatsoever matched up. It doesn’t make sense to me! A few weekends ago Craig was here for a visit with Kathy and me. He told us he had moved his second week of summer vacation back one week due to circumstances at work. Craig said he was re-examining his options because of the change in dates. That gave me a spur of the moment idea. “Why don’t we go see the Blue Jays play if they happen to be home,” I suggested. My son smiled and nodded his approval. A quick look at the schedule revealed Jays were indeed at home during the week in question. To make things even more interesting they were playing two different teams in the middle of the week. Ticket options

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

are far better for week day, night games than for weekend contests. Besides, in the heat of the summer it is much more enjoyable to sit in Rogers Centre at night than during the day when, during good weather the roof is open and the hot sun beams down. The night games suited us perfectly and we were able to secure excellent seats. Last Wednesday and Thursday we were in Canada’s largest city to watch the Philadelphia Phillies wrap up a short, two-day visit to Toronto and Kansas City open a four-game set at Rogers Centre. No, I don’t like inter-league play but at least the Phillies and Jays have some history. Especially their six-game World Series showdown in 1993. As I have mentioned the Royals are one of the best teams in baseball. They placed five players in the starting line-up for the American League in the recent MLB All-Star game in Cincinnati. The way they are playing KC appears destined for another shot at the World Series. Royals’ only championship win came in 1985 when they edged staterival St. Louis in the maximum seven games. Two years ago Craig and I journeyed to Toronto to watch our Tigers take on the Jays. We enjoyed games on back-to-back nights and Detroit won both. This time around we were hoping to see a Blue Jays sweep and, true to the script we had written for ourselves, they won both games. Strange turf When the Expos moved to Washington in 2005 Toronto became Canada’s only MLB city. Rogers Centre (originally SkyDome) doesn’t win rave reviews as a “fan-friendly” place to watch baseball. And the new artificial turf, installed this year, doesn’t appeal to players very much either. The field is partly comprised of trillions of rubber pellets from recycled motor vehicle tires. The turf provides some really strange bounces when a baseball lands on it. In Jays’ home opener in April, against Tampa Bay Rays, a visiting player had to have a pellet removed from his eye. Personally I like watching baseball at Rogers Centre. It is

cavernous but it has better sightlines than Olympic Stadium in Montreal (in the lower seats at least) and it is much brighter than the other domed stadiums I have visited over the years. Of course the roof means no rain outs and that’s a huge advantage. You know when you pre-purchase your tickets that the game(s) will be played no matter what the weather conditions. I highly recommend the experience. We went to Toronto by train which is a wonderful way to travel. There are good connections from Smiths Falls or Fallowﬁeld in west Ottawa. We

booked a new hotel near the stadium, which is right downtown. After taking a taxi from Union Station to the hotel we either walked or rode public transit to our destinations. Craig and I had one full day to ourselves before the Jays-KC match-up and believe me, there is no shortage of things to do in Toronto. We spent three enjoyable hours at the Royal Ontario Museum which is absolutely ﬁlled with outstanding exhibits. But the most exciting place to be was Rogers Centre when, in the hours before the trade deadline, Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos made some of the biggest moves of a busy week. Among several key acquisitions are star left-handed pitcher David Price (acquired from Detroit) and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki who was picked up in a trade with Colorado Rockies that sent shortstop Jose Reyes and three prospects the other

way. Tulowitzki combines outstanding hitting with excellent defence. The Jays decided to pull out all the stops in an effort to end their long playoff drought. We saw the newcomer make an impressive debut against Philadelphia. In his first game for Toronto Tulowitzki belted a two-run home run, added two doubles, drove in three runs and scored twice. “Tulo” as the fans have nicknamed him very quickly endeared himself to Jays’ faithful! Now, with Toronto closing in on a playoff place, we are excited about the final weeks of the MLB campaign. “Canada’s team” certainly has our support and we hope that come October the Blue Jays will be in the playoff mix for the first time in 22 years.

My son Craig and I are huge baseball fans. We follow Major League Baseball (MLB) religiously throughout the intensive, seven-month long season. As regular readers of this column know we are Detroit Tigers’ fans, partly because of our family connection to Chatham, Ontario (my wife Kathleen’s hometown) and partly because we have family living in Detroit and Michigan. Due to its proximity to Detroit (an hour away by road) Chatham is a hot-bed of support for the Tigers who are one of the most successful franchises in the sport, both in terms of recent onfield success and at the box office. Win or lose Tigers fill modern Comerica Park in downtown Detroit for virtually every game. After winning the American League (AL) Central Division title four seasons in a row and making a trip to the World Series in 2012 (San Francisco Giants swept that showdown) Detroit is struggling this season. The loss of two starting pitchers, including AL 2013 Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer and injuries to key players such as slugger Miguel Cabrera deflated Tigers’ campaign. Last week Detroit management decided to trade some of their top players at the deadline in order to acquire younger prospects as they embark on a rebuild. Tigers are far behind divisionleading Kansas City Royals who at this writing are the top team in the league and the second best in the MLB. Only St. Louis Cardinals of the National League (NL) has a better record to date. Royals were the AL representatives in last year’s World Series, losing to the same San Francisco team who have been so dominant in recent campaigns. Craig and I got the “baseball gene” from my late father Howard who was a lifelong fan. Dad was mainly a Cleveland Indians’ supporter and he thrilled to the team’s outstanding performances in the late 1940s and early 1950s. In 1948 Cleveland won their most recent World Series crown. Their only other title came way back in 1920. In addition my father and I (and my son) were big fans of the Montreal Expos, Canada’s original Major League entry. A group including former Expo Warren Cromartie is seeking to bring baseball back to Montreal but at this stage that seems a long way off. The city needs a new downtown stadium and that asset alone could take years to achieve. The New York Yankees aside, baseball dynasties are few and

Merrickville’s Canal Fest, hosted by the Merrickville Lions Club, took place Aug. 1 to 3 on the shores of the Rideau Canal. Popular Voyageur canoe rides were a hit, as was the arts and crafts on display from local vendors. Above, visitors to the canal watched the Voyageur boat load from the dock. Right, Voyageur guide Shirley Walsh unloads the life jackets for the group’s first paddle of the day on Sunday, Aug. 2.

Help prevent office theft, related crimes Theft just doesn’t happen at home and Lanark County Crime Stoppers wants individuals to be alert and stay safe at work as well. Here are some tips to help keep you safe at the office and elsewhere: • Keep your purse, wallet, keys or other valuable items with you at all times, or locked in a drawer or closet. • Check the identity of any strangers who are in your office – ask whom they are visiting and if you can help them find that person. If the person’s presence makes you uncomfortable, inform security or management about your concerns. • Always let someone know where you’ll be – whether it’s coming in late, working late, going to the photocopier or mail room, or going out to lunch or a meeting.

• Report any broken or flickering lights, dimly lit corridors, doors that don’t lock properly or broken windows. Don’t wait for someone else to do it. • Be discreet. Don’t advertise your social life or vacation plans and those of your co-workers to people visiting or calling your place of work. • Stairwells and out-of-theway corridors – Don’t use the stairs when alone. Talk to the building manager about improving poorly lighted corridors and stairways. • Elevators – Don’t get into elevators with people who look out of place or behave in a strange or threatening manner. If you find yourself in an elevator with someone who makes you nervous, get off as soon as possible. • Restrooms – Attackers can hide in stalls and corners. Make sure restrooms are locked and

only employees have keys. Be extra cautious when using restrooms that are isolated or poorly lighted. • After hours – Don’t work late alone. Create a buddy system for walking to the parking lots or public transportation, or ask security to escort you. • Parking lots or garages – Choose a well-lighted, wellguarded parking garage. Always lock your vehicle and roll the windows all the way up. If you notice any strangers hanging around the parking lot, notify security or the police. When you approach your car, have the key ready. • Check the floor of both the front and the back seats before getting in your car. Lock your car as soon as you get in – before you buckle your seat belt. Submitted by Lanark County Crime Stoppers.

Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit raises awareness about bats and rabies Bats are nocturnal animals and feed most actively two or three hours following sunset. Bats are efficient insect controllers eating about three times their body

weight. Bats typically have their babies in June and come August many of the young bats are looking for their own roosting sites. Many bats will roost and hiber-

nate in attics. Although bats are beneficial, they can carry diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis, which can affect humans and animals.

It takes a whole community of committed people to make a community theatre run. And the Studio Theatre’s annual Volunteer Appreciation picnic brought them all together for a group “thank you” at the home of Penny and Reiner Silberhorn recently. The Silberhorns (standing third and fourth from the right, front row) opened their home and gardens for the event, hosting 50 or so of the theatre’s regular volunteers who act, direct, take tickets, build sets, serve coffee, and do the countless other things that make the Studio Theatre a success. No doubt you’ll spot your friends and neighbours in this photo...ask them about volunteering at the theatre and they’ll tell you it’s great! For more information about the Studio Theatre, its line up of shows and concerts, and volunteering to help, visit studiotheatreperth.com.

They may also transmit distemper and mange to household pets. Approximately three per cent of bats carry the rabies virus. The most common signs of rabies in bats are the inability to fly and resting in unusual places such as the ground or floor. It is important to remember many of the bats that get into our homes are healthy bats and are looking for a way out. If you find a bat in your home and are absolutely sure that there was no human or animal contact, try to confine the bat to one room by closing the door of the room. Open a window or door to the outside and then turn out the lights; the bat should fly out early in the evening. Be sure to

wear gloves and other protective clothing at all times when dealing with a bat. If you are bitten by a bat or if saliva from a bat gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or a wound, wash the affected area thoroughly and get medical attention immediately. Should you find a bat in your home and a bite is difficult/ impossible to determine due to the person’s age, or impairment contact your health care provider and the public health unit regarding treatment for rabies. Rabies can be confirmed through a laboratory test of brain tissue from the bat. Should the test confirm that the bat was rabid, the public health unit in consultation with your family doctor can provide

rabies treatment. Bat-proofing your house is necessary when the bats are entering the living space of your home. It is advisable to contact a pest management company or a wildlife conservation agency for assistance with bat-proofing your home. Rabies can also affect pets; to protect your pet from rabies it is important to vaccinate them. Rabies vaccination is mandatory in Ontario for domestic cats and dogs. The health unit in partnership with local veterinarians and municipalities will be holding the annual rabies clinics on Sept. 9 and 16. The cost is $20 per animal; please visit our website for more information.

The Station Theatre hosts Canadian premiere of A Little Princess Aug. 13 to 23 “From the far side of the world comes a little girl who has everything...to lose.” This is a direct quote from the summer musical to appear next week on the stage of the Station Theatre. And it captures perfectly the theme of the play that will delight audiences, young and old. A Little Princess is a new musical created by the talented team of William Brooke (book), Eric Rockwell (score) and Margaret Rose (lyrics). It’s the story of a young girl’s struggle between life’s harsh reality and the world of imagination. It also tells how the value of hope and friendship can magically transform a life, even when one is grown and become used to being solitary. Full of witty, charming and memorable music – the story is sure to tug at the heartstrings. The Smiths Falls Community Theatre (SFCT) is privileged to be given the Canadian premiere rights to produce this delightful script adapted from the muchloved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Burnett is best known for her children’s books published just before and after the turn of the 19th century: Little Lord Fauntleroy, The Little Princess and A Secret Garden. The musical was originally produced by the Sacramento Theatre Company, Michael Lunn, producing director. For the SFCT’s production, director Lynda Daniluk has assembled a talented cast that is working hard to display the polished level of performance the show deserves. From learning the lyrics and music, to adapting to how people behaved over a hundred years ago, there is much to master. The large cast—with plenty of rewarding roles for younger, upcoming players and veteran actors alike—has by all accounts done just that. Sara Crewe (the “Little Princess,” played by Juliet Alfaro) is a spunky, resilient and creative 12-year-old who learns to adapt to a most difﬁcult life through the tutelage of the strict boarding school proprietress, Miss Minchin (played by Susan Parsons). When Sara confronts the news of the death of her father she uses her ability to create a story for her life challenges

The Station Theatre in Smiths Falls is preparing for the Canadian premiere of A Little Princess, which opens Aug. 13 and runs until Aug. 23. Above, several of the younger members of the cast, photographed in costume at a recent rehearsal, are shown above. From left: Susie Burtt, Maya Forbes, Lela Fox-Doran, Malcolm Forbes, Grace Lee and Brooklyn Johnston. and convinces herself that it is not true. While she accepts her changed situation at the school, she remains confident that she will see her father again. Her new-found school friends, some of whom resent her at first, end up doing their part to assist her in adapting to her humiliating new status. Despite the seeming sadness of Sara’s situation, the show is full of humour, hope and reflection often provided by the pivotal character of Ram Dass (played by Garrett Pipher). The catchy and memorable score and accompaniment is expertly managed by Rowena Pearl, who wowed audiences during the production of The Railway Children. Performances of the play take place at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22; and at 2 p.m. on Aug. 16 and 23 (matinees). Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children/students (with ID), with

special group rates also available. Call the Station Theatre at 613-283-0300 for details and to order by credit card. Tickets may be purchased for cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell Street East, online (smithsfallstheatre.com, via Paypal/Visa/Mastercard), and at the door for cash only (subject to availability, a half-hour before the performance). The Station Theatre, we remind you, is located at 53 Victoria St, Smiths Falls. We invite everyone to keep in touch with all our upcoming shows – like the Kubrick Classics kick-off to our Movie Nights Series on Sept. 18 and 19, and the Tales and Tunes show in our music series on Sept. 26 – by going to our website (above) or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre).

Don’t boat under the influence, Canadian Safe Boating Council warns Drinking and boating accounts for approximately 40 per cent of boating-related fatalities on Canadian waterways. To raise awareness and reduce alcohol related deaths, the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is

launching year three of an initiative called Operation Dry Water. Its goal is to discourage this dangerous practice. With the summer boating season in high gear, this is the perfect time to remind Canadian

boaters about the risks of drinking and boating. Combined with sun, wind, waves and the rocking motion of the boat, the effects of alcohol on the water can be greatly increased. “The CSBC, its partners and

sponsors would like, through this and our other initiatives, to raise attention to the problem of boating under the influence and to remind boaters not to drink and boat,” stated John Gullick, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. Operation Dry Water will focus on the potential risks of drinking and boating, and remedies that are currently in place to discourage it. Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold. This

means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge is able to, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges. But that’s not all; it can get worse. Some provinces have enacted legislation where drinking and boating can affect your automobile driving privileges. In Ontario, for example, Bill 209 amended the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel.” As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, faces an on-the-spot automobile drivers’ license suspension.

Should the person’s blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction, an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied. Operation Dry Water is aimed at reducing the number of alcohol-related accidents and fatalities on the water while fostering a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol use while boating. The end goal? To achieve safer and more enjoyable recreational boating. This initiative is made possible through support of Transport Canada’s Office of Boating Safety. Submitted by the Canadian Safe Boating Council.

Lanark Animal Welfare Society launches membership drive in February. Until recently they were living in a foster home where they were socialized as well as nurtured back to good health. Meanwhile they’re having fun with the staff and customers in Carleton Place at the Natural Pet Food Store on Bridge Street. The two sisters can and do act quite independently of each other. They may be adopted together or as a pair. Please meet these two young ladies.

All she needs now is a loving home where she is encouraged to exercise to help her shed another pound. She needs someone who is willing to play with her and get her some toys she can chase. It’s fun to have a play-routine with your pet. Maya will love you for it! Lavender Remember

about me before and unfortunately nobody came to adopt me yet. I’ve been at LAWS for a while now and have seen many of my fellow cats ﬁnd good homes. I am still hoping someone comes for me soon too. I am a friendly very clean and cuddly female tabby cat. I am very curious and would love to explore the world. Just thinking about lounging in a sunny location watching the birds ﬂy by and roaming your home freely makes me smile in my dreams. Hope it’s not just a dream; I am really worth the trip to LAWS. Please come I am so ready, are you too?

The builders of the forest leave behind vital legacy Tales from the Troubadour LyLe diLLabough

happen, the environmental, social and economic impact would be devastating. Enter the “forest builders.” Programs such as The National Capital Greenbelt (a protective area that covers certain parts of the City of Ottawa) the Lanark County and Ottawa Carleton Forests, the Woodlands Improvement Act and the extensive promotion of reforestation projects on the part of private industry and we still have amongst us what many can only just take for granted today. Trees! Add to this the extensive research and practical knowledge that came about as the result of education plus an abundance of sweat and blood and we can know just how it was that the elm trees were ultimately saved from extinction at the hands of the deadly Dutch Elm disease. And so on it goes. The thing that is so striking to me is just how close these men came to be to each other through their work and dedication to it. In 1981, the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) amalgamated their Lanark and Ottawa ofﬁces relocat-

ing them to Carleton Place. (Now the whole thing is gone) Men such as, dad, Jim McCready, Stephen Dormer, Peter Mackie, Allen Johnston, Mark Shaeffer, Hal Garrett, Les Billings, etc., began working together under one roof. Today, when I see those that remain of these men, the talk of the “old days” always brings a light to their eyes and a ﬁre to their voices. One man who had worked with my father during the ’50s and early ’60s in Dacre and Tweed came to the radio station in Renfrew Ontario where I was working and waited until I had ﬁnished my show just to see if I was indeed Murnie’s son. The look in his eyes was the same as the others. Many men never get the opportunity to leave a lot behind after they are gone. Some can work their entire lives but the results of their years of effort can’t be seen in a physical form or practical way. Carpenters can leave behind buildings and other objects that they construct. Writers can leave behind their writings, musicians their recordings and songs, painters their works, and so on. But many go into obscurity. A few years ago, I was traveling up near Fitzroy Harbour when I happened to notice an old rusted “Woodlands Improvement Act” sign that was attached to an old fence line. The pine trees there stood tall and strong and it was then that I realized that I was beholding one of dad’s forests – a place that we had stood side by side together some 30 years be-

fore and had planted many seedlings by hand. And I thought how my dad had left a tremendous gift behind; a living legacy standing tall and strong and rising up out of the earth. So this is how I know whenever I run into one of those men the reason they get this certain look or tear in the eye. It’s because they produced life through their work. They enhanced life in the forests

and they enhanced the life within themselves. No matter that the MNR gave up on that reforestation program years ago, what these men did can’t be taken away from them. Not until every tree they planted has been cut down. And that will never happen because their legacy has impacted enough people to ensure that the trees will always grow here in the Ottawa Valley.

Drowning preventable: Ontario docs Swimming is a favourite summer pastime, but Ontario’s doctors want to remind those spending time in or near the water that lifejackets and parental supervision of children should be top of mind. “Taking a swim in the lake or the pool is a great way to cool off from the summer heat, get a little exercise and have some fun. Parents and adults should ensure children are supervised while swimming or near water; and kids need to wear lifejackets at all times on watercraft. In fact, everyone – even strong swimmers need to wear lifejackets on a watercraft. Summertime is meant to be enjoyed – just be sure you do it safely,” stated Dr. Mike Toth, president of the Ontario Medical Association. Ontario’s doctors have six simple steps everyone can take to help protect children and themselves from drowning:

• Children playing near the water should be supervised by an adult at all times. • Children under five, or anyone who is not a strong swimmer, should wear a well-fitting lifejacket that is approved by Transport Canada whenever they are near the water. • Everyone should wear a well-fitting lifejacket that is approved by Transport Canada when in a boat, canoe or other watercraft. • Pool owners should install a foursided pool fence to keep toddlers safe from the danger of falling in the water. • Parents should be trained in CPR, especially if they live near the water or have a pool. • Swimming lessons are an essential part of drowning prevention and are strongly recommended for all children.

They were forest builders, tree specialist, and advocates of all things green, and they left behind them a living legacy. There remain in this area today a few men who were paramount in the effort to preserve and expand the forests of the Ottawa Valley during the later part of the 20th century. Some bore the title of forest technician while others had earned their degrees and ofﬁcially were called foresters. My father (the late Murnie Eugene Dillabough) was one of those men. He worked for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for most of his life and was transferred to the Ottawa area in 1969. He went there to take part in the reforestation of many private lands in the Ottawa Carleton Region. In short, he was to rebuild forests where they had existed naturally decades before. It may seem strange to some that forests in Canada might need to be saved, preserved and “rebuilt,” but it’s true nonetheless. In the early days of logging in the Ottawa Valley, it was thought that the harvesting of trees could go on forever. The truth is the entire Ottawa Valley area has been “clear cut” at least three times since the arrival of the ﬁrst Europeans here. By the early 1960s it had become abundantly clear that if something wasn’t done soon many species of trees and several forests in general would become extinct. Should this be allowed to

In 1903, David Dunbar Buick built the ﬁrst Buick automobile, a little chain-driven two-cylinder runabout with overhead valves. Billy Durant included Buick in his newly formed company, General Motors, in 1908. In that same year, Col. Sam McLaughlin of Oshawa began building cars with Buick engines. Our feature car is a 1912 McLaughlin-Buick Model 35 Touring currently on display at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin with thanks to Justin Cuffe, the curator, for supplying details on the car’s history and the three photos shown here. This car was the successor to the Model 10, the main difference being a three-speed sliding gear transmission. The four-cylinder overhead-valve engine has 165 cubic inches. This car was purchased new by Mr. Charles F. Briggs, Oakville, New Brunswick, from the dealers Creighton and Ridley. The colour was battleship grey with black trim. It survived Hurricane Edna at Brigg’s Mill, New Brunswick in 1957. Murray A. Briggs of Woodstock, New Brunswick, the original owner’s son, sold the car to Asher D. Chambers of Caribou, Maine in 1958. Mr. Chambers then restored the car. Stan Reynolds acquired the car in 1971 for his Western Canadian Pioneer Museum.

Tom Cruise goes rogue in latest Mission Impossible blockbuster Action movies don’t usually require the actors to do a lot of ‘acting’. It’s less about making the audience believe in the emotional integrity of your character, and more about making the audience believe you can single handedly fight off enemy agents and save the world. Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames, Rebecca Ferguson and Alec Baldwin are all very good at saving the world. For a good spy film you have to have a good villain. Sean Harris ia a great villain. Lane is ruthless, driven and convinced he’s justified. Harris nails it. Simon Pegg elevates this film to another level. Without Pegg you have a great action movie. With Pegg you have a great action movie that’s also really funny and has a lot of heart. Tom Cruise rarely disappoints on the big screen. He brings an intensity and a passion that’s undeniable. That combined with his insistance on doing all his own stunts makes these films incredible to watch. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is everything a summer blockbuster should be. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Camp Banting, a camp just for kids dealing with Type 1 Diabetes, has returned to the shores of Christie Lake in Tay Valley Township. After a decade-long absence, the camp, run by the Canadian Diabetes Association, has returned to Camp Opemikon. (There are two other Ontario-based camps in the system, including Camp Huronda, in Huntsville, and Camp Discovery in London.) The two-week-long Camp Banting, named after Dr. Frederick Banting, the Canadian-born doctor who co-discovered insulin, began in 1953, making it the “oldest running camp for children living with diabetes in Canada,” said camp coordinator Grant Leeder, 23, during a break on Wednesday, July 29, at the camp cafeteria. The native of Woodville in Kawartha Lakes now lives in Toronto, but was a camper himself many years ago, which is designed for youngsters aged seven to 15. “The site really is phenomenal,” said Leeder, looking out the window at campers heading towards the building for a nutrition break. Through the morning sunlight flooding through the leaves, through the shade leading to McManus Bay, a group of campers played volleyball. “It just feels so much like camp,” he said. “When you look at the dining hall, it’s what you’d imagine camp would look like in a movie.” In fact, aside from the fact that almost every participant has an insulin pump, they look like your average camper. Roughing-it is emphasized, so much so that campers wash themselves in the

lake, with biodegradable soap, and the cabins do not have electricity, so, campers have no choice but to switch off. There is a full medical centre on-site, with three doctors, as well as dieticians and nurses (for a full staff of about 15). The 61 campers – who come from a catchment area between Kingston and Ottawa, mainly, but there are campers from Quebec and Saskatchewan – arrive for lunch or dinner early, get their blood sugar levels tested by a doctor, adjust their insulin levels if necessary, then partake of the meal. Campers are tested six times a day, before every meal, and at night. Counting carbohydrates is also an important part of managing their condition. Fees are based on a tiered system, and subsidies are available. “We allow them (the parents) to choose whichever tier they think they can afford,” said Leeder. “We want to make sure that our camp is accessible to all. We don’t want to turn anybody away.” As Camp Banting alumni himself, Leeder knows what it means to grow up with diabetes. “Outside of camp, they (campers) feel quite different,” he said. “They don’t feel normal.” At Camp Banting, though, “it’s as similar to their home life as possible.” By way of example, out on a tour of the late morning activities, some campers are taking to the trees, with helmets and harnesses to climb and clamber across ropes in the soaring treetops. A counsellor explains the safety equipment as he would to any group of excited climbers – but adds one important caveat: leave your insulin pumps on the ground, as they can get caught up in the wires.

Above, Devyn Vieau begins her cartwheel routine. At left, from left, counselor Robin Toompuu teaches campers Christopher Atkinson, Matthew Van Dijk, and Teagan Harvey, how to light a campfire. The camp has changed a lot since the 1950s. In the old days, before diabetes sufferers would test their blood, they used to urinate on test strips, something Leeder said he is glad is no longer done as often. “Imagine all of these campers with pee sticks coming at you!” he said with a laugh.

Joking aside, having other youngsters around who ‘get it,’ can be a big boost of morale for some campers. “It’s hard to understand what feeling low or high feels like,” he said, of the high or low blood sugar levels people with diabetes can feel. “It’s this bond that happens.” A camper will say, “I’m high,” and another camper will reply,

“Oh yeah? I know what that’s like. That sucks.” The camp runs until Aug. 7, and Leeder said that it is his hope that the camp will continue to operate in Tay Valley Township for years to come. “We are enjoying the site,” he said, “and we think that the campers are too.”

The Table Community Food Centre has landed $45,600 from the federal government to make their front entranceway more accessible. Not only will the installation of a lift, to allow for people in wheelchairs and other mobility issues to access the upstairs dinning room and kitchen facilities, or the food bank downstairs, it will also help with heat retention and all Table staff “to have proper offices,” said Ramsay Hart, The Table’s executive director, during a telephone interview on Friday, July 31. “They (staff) have been very patient with the working conditions here in the kitchen,” said Hart, noting that it can get a little noisy when children from the after-school program arrive. “It’s hard to concentrate.” Hart estimates that the overall project will cost about $90,000, and he hopes to be able to get an Ontario Trillium Fund grant to finance the remaining portion. He added that the federal government’s financial support of the renovations would make it easier for the application to work its way through the Queen’s Park bureaucracy. The “lift” itself is “not quite a full elevator,” but would allow those with mobility issues to access these areas, and would complement plans to deal with the first “stop into the building, (which)… is quite high.”

If the Trillium funding comes through, because the federal government’s financial year ends in April, the earliest the money would start flowing from downtown Ottawa would be in May, and so next summer “would be the earliest we’d be looking at doing it (the renovations).” In a press release issued on July 31, Scott Reid, the MP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, commended the work done by The Table. “The Table is a pillar of our community here in Perth,” Reid is quoted as saying. “They provide essential food services to those in need and are committed to doing so with fresh and nutritious foods. The Table also hosts community meals every week and provides gardening and cooking classes.” Reid also pointed out that The Table provides help “to people with a variety of special needs, including needs that result from the mobility issues faced by some members of our community. This funding will help to make the facilities more readily accessible to those who need The Table the most.” The federal money will come from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, which Desmond Devoy/METROLAND intends to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday in Ramsay Hart, executive director of The Table Community Food Centre in Perth, shares a laugh 2017, by supporting the rehabilitation, renovawith a kitchen worker this past March.

PROTECT YOURSELF: LOCK VEHICLES AND HOMES

It doesn’t take long for thieves to steal items from your vehicle or home if you give them the chance. Don’t make it easy! Here are some ways you can protect yourself: Vehicles: • Always roll up your vehicle’s windows, lock the doors and pocket the key. • If you have a garage, use it. Lock the garage and the vehicle. • Keep your vehicle registration certificate and proof of insurance with you. • Park in a well-lit area. • Give only your ignition key to a parking lot attendant. Keep other keys with you. • Never leave your vehicle unattended while it’s running. • Never leave your keys in plain view. • Put valuables or packages out of sight in the trunk. • Never leave your garage door opener on the visor. It facilitates entry to your home. LOCK IT OR LOSE IT! A professional can steal a car in 30 seconds. Homes: • Watch for suspicious people or activity in your neighbourhood. • If you are going away, ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on things. Don’t announce your absence on social media. Keep the grass cut or driveway shovelled. Do not let newspapers or mail accumulate. • Deter potential criminals with outside lights and motion sensor lighting. • Lock all doors and windows every time you go out. Install good locks and a deadbolt on each outside door. • Store bicycles in garages and sheds. • Keep all valuables in the home in secure locations. Record serial numbers and take photographs. • Trees, shrubs and fences create hiding spots. Keep them groomed and limit privacy fencing. REMEMBER: Most residential break-ins happen during the day when people are not at home. Find these and other crime prevention tips at www.opp.ca under “Resources.” NEED TO REACH THE O.P.P.? Emergency: 9-1-1 Non-Emergency Police Assistance: 1-888-310-1122 (1-888-310-1133 for hearing impaired) Administrative calls to Detachment: 613-267-2626 (8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., 75 Dufferin St., Perth) Citizen Self-Reporting: http://www.opp.ca/reporting/ A message from the Perth Police Services Board

YARD MAINTENANCE BY-LAW # 4263 The Town of Perth Development and Protective Services Department would like to remind residents of Yard Maintenance By-Law # 4263 that was passed in 2012. The by-law sets minimum standards for yard maintenance in Town and regulates a number of issues including: Shrubs, hedges, trees and other natural growth are required to be trimmed so they: • Do not create visibility concerns at street intersections • Do not create visibility concerns at driveways and sidewalks • Do not overhang or infringe onto a sidewalk The Removal of Standing and Stagnant Water • Residents should ensure that there are not areas of standing or stagnant water on their property. This could refer to, but not limited to: water in pails, flower pots, tires, tarpaulins, and rain barrels without screens. This standing or stagnant water creates an excellent breeding ground for mosquitos which are not only a nuisance but can also spread disease. We thank you for your continued efforts in ensuring a safe environment for all involved. A copy of the by-law is available for viewing at the Town Hall.

County’s biggest summer barbecue at inaugural Perth Ribfest, Aug. 21 to 23 As though Perth summers were not busy enough, the new Perth Ribfest will fill up another weekend with fun and food. The Rotary Club of Perth’s inaugural Ribfest and Car Show is all set to go at the Perth Fairgrounds from Aug. 21 to 23, and while the event has been many months in the planning, the idea for holding one to rival Kemptville’s Ribfest was quite simple. “We were looking for a new fundraiser to do, one that was fun for the community,” said Jeff Dean, the festival’s chair, on Thursday, July 30. Other Rotary Clubs, like the one in Kemptville, have been having great success with their Ribfests, which got Dean thinking: “Hmm. There’s no Ribfest in Lanark County. We should try one.” Judging by the success of Ribfests in 27 other Ontario communities, “it can have a very good effect on the local economy,” said Jim Peden, chair (vendors). As a sign of their trust in this venture, the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce and Perth Tourism are supporting the festival. “As a small town, everybody wants to be a part of it,” said Dean. There will be about 25 vendors on site, with four professional “ribbers” as they are called, taking centre stage. The four ribbers should be familiar to anyone who has gone to the Kemptville Ribfest as they are the exact same ribbers from that celebration. “Jeff and I are not out in the backyard with our barbecues!” joked Peden. “It’s an experience. It’s a spectacle,” agreed Dean, with “three days full of entertainment… There’s so much local talent here in Lanark County. We have all local talent,” with a variety of music from jazz, country-and-western, and even easy-listening. Bands and singers will each get two-hour slots to really show off their talents, with half-hour cool down gaps in between. Music lovers are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, to encourage “a Stewart Park Festival sort of vibe,” said Dean. The music runs from 4 to 10 p.m. on Friday, 1 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. Friday evening features rock-and-roll music, with easy listening on Saturday afternoon and a country-and-western showcase on Sunday afternoon. And what would a summer afternoon be without a little beverage? The event will be licenced, with the Perth Brewing Company on site, and a wine cooler bar set up. And if you’ve had your fill of chicken and ribs for the day, you can get your veggies, while maintaining the barbecue experience, at the corn roaster station, as well as blooming onions, slushies, lemonade, and ice cream. There will also be shopping stalls set up. The club draws on the experiences of fellow

Rotarians from across the province, and they have taken a page from the Orangeville club, and have decided to go with a licenced area, rather than a beer tent. “Picture it like a big circle, like you are at the cottage,” said Dean. There will be 24/7 security, provided by the same company that did security for the Kemptville Ribfest, and no minors are allowed on the premises after 8 p.m. “We’re looking for more volunteers,” said Peden, who added that, as an extra inducement, you get a free T-shirt. “It’ll be a collector’s item.” The fun continues with not one, but two car shows planned for the weekend, one each for antiques and classic cars. “There are so many people in this area (who are) interested in classic and antique cars,” said Peden. The classic car show is on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the “exotic” cars (Porsche, Jaguar, etc.) show up on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The duo and their committee and legions of volunteers want to make the Ribfest a family affair, with face-painting, inflatable activities, wallclimbing, big trucks on site from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and a visit from Frozen star Elsa and Spiderman from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. Admission is by donation and any money raised goes back into the community. In fact, the local Scotiabank has promised that it will match community donations of up to $5,000. The money will be used on youth development and enhancements, but the club is looking to the community for direction on where the money would be best put to work. “Where should the funds from this go to?” asked Dean. (You can find information about donation suggestions online at perthrotary.com and fill out the “Community Request” section.) The Ribfest runs from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is by donation – just drop it in the barrel. There will be free parking provided on the streets around the fairgrounds. Disabled parking is available on the fairgrounds, but a sticker is required. Entrances are located off of Arthur and Halton streets. The Arthur Street gate is open to pedestrians only, and the Rogers Road gate is a vehicle entrance/exit only. The organizers request that no coolers or pets be brought to the fairgrounds. There is an ATM on site as vendors will be accepting cash only. To entice you to come, and stay, early birds who show up between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday will get $3 off on ribs. The town crier will open the festivities at 4 p.m. on Friday with what is being described as a “custom smoke’n cry,” followed by a singing of “O Canada.” “It’s a fun way to spend the summer,” said Dean, who added that it becomes a regular part of a Perth summer.

Iconic summer symbols

ast week featured several iconic summer symbols. The first one was a biggie for Girlchild, who went with a friend on her first-ever away-camp experience a couple of hours from home. I wish I could say it made me jump into the way back machine and conjured memories of my own away-camp experiences, but (surprise!) I was always too chicken to go. Once again I stand in awe of Girlchild, who apparently slays all the dragons over here. I could have gone. I was a Girl Guide way back then and each summer the opportunity to go away to camp would come up. One of my best friends used to go, and I remember walking down the street with her upon her return while she chattered excitedly about how much fun it had been and how much she loved camp. Deep down I knew I would love it, too, if only I could get over the hurdle of actually convincing myself to go. So I waited about 30 years and decided to take karate instead. Hehehe. (Take that, comfort zone issues!) Just as my friend had been, Girlchild was a babbling brook of information about the fun activities she experienced at camp. She chastised me a little because I had assured her she wouldn’t get homesick once she got there (Moms are paid to say things like that followed by “because I said so.”) Apparently she had a pang or two. To be honest, I was way more concerned about another iconic summer activity that happens at our house: the annual nurturing of a caterpillar that will turn into a beautiful…um…gypsy moth. I was entrusted with “Poochie’s” care whilst Girlchild frolicked at camp. My instructions were to get two maple leaves each day and to place them “just so” in the caterpillar container. Each day I tromped out the front door to the nearest maple (Boychild and several neighbours will vouch for me) and did exactly as I was told, but I knew the exercise was doomed. Even before Girlchild shipped out, Poochie was showing signs of decline. These fellas are known to eat voraciously (see annihilation of the forests in the 1990s/invasive species) and Poochie had stopped eating. Despite my profferings of fresh foliage on a daily basis, he would not eat. On the day Girlchild was scheduled to return, he passed. May Poochie rest in peace. I figured I was doomed, but Girlchild

was not surprised…something about Poochie’s face not peeling off properly the last time he shed his skin. She’s the resident entomologist, too, apparently. Boychild also had an experience that qualifies as somewhat iconic – depending on your generation. He visited a huge water park with some friends last week and had a fabulous time, except for the epic sunburn he brought home. Sunscreen had been applied, but a few spots were missed, leaving an intriguing pattern across his back and chest. In fact, we were thinking about labelling him as a modern-art sculpture and setting him out front with a hat to collect donations. What was interesting for Groomboy and me about this event was the fact that something that had been a rather commonplace affair back in the 1970s/1980s when we grew up (before we all knew better), was really quite unusual for Boychild. I can remember many summer nights lying painfully on cotton sheets with a fan blowing on me and the scent of nice, cooling Noxzema thick in the air. Sunburns happened. We knew there wasn’t much we could do to make them better and that it would feel better in a few days. Blisters and peeling…such a good time. Hopefully there wasn’t too much damage…. To this day the smell of Noxzema reminds me of childhood summers. I suppose it is a testament to our stellar application of sunscreen and encouragement of the sporting of T-shirts that Boychild hasn’t experienced such a nasty sunburn before now. A final iconic summer symbol I’ve noticed this season (because I am frequently distracted by shiny things) is the myriad fireflies lighting up my evening runs. Usually I see a few fireflies in town, but this year seems to be a particularly good year for the little buggy lanterns. It kinda makes me want to take a mason jar with me on my run. Probably I should also build a campfire and cook s’mores while singing a few Girl Guide songs, too.

Election call of the wild in mid-summer

hat if they called an election and nobody noticed? Well, if you were driving home from the cottage this past holiday Monday, you may have been forgiven for asking, “Hey, don’t they have those election signs up a little early?” Yes, and no. Earlier than expected, yes. Earlier than we would have thought they would be up, even two weeks ago. But Prime Minister Stephen Harper, seeking to become the first P.M. since Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1908 to win a fourth mandate, may have pulled off a master stroke. I’ve got to give it to the man – he managed to both stick to his fixed election date law (for the first time), and simultaneously call an early election at the same time. He hasn’t remained our leader this long by being a dummy. (This will make this campaign the longest vote we’ve had since 1872, which was 84 days.) By the way, the award for the campaign that got its signs up the earliest in this area has to go to Leeds-Grenville Conservative MP Gord Brown, who had his signs up on Kilmarnock Road,

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says just over the railway tracks, near the intersection with County Road 17, just north of Jasper in Merrickville-Wolford. As I was driving around to get my daughter Loughlin to sleep, I spotted his signs at 1:48 p.m. on Sunday, just hours after the election call. Kudos Mr. Brown. Your campaign workers are either really enthusiastic or, for them, an election constitutes a part of their social life, or both. This early call has already played havoc with people’s plans, both big and small – which was likely the point. Perth Mayor John Fenik, also the NDP candidate here, has now had to step back from his duties as mayor. I am pretty sure that Harper did not call the election to stymie Fenik’s preparations for the committee of the whole meeting this past Aug. 4, the first after the long

July council recess, but it does mean that acting Mayor John Gemmell will have to hit the ground running. I am sure he will do a fine job in Fenik’s absence, but this is already shaping up to be an interesting race. Reid is probably laughing all the way to the polling station this time around. He’s been in office since 2000. All he has to do is look at the NDP and Liberal candidates he’s running against this time out (Fenik and Philippe Archambault) and the bad blood between them to know that they will be so busy fighting each other they won’t be able to train as much of their fire on him as they otherwise would. Fenik was working for Archambault’s campaign until earlier this year. He had been mulling running for the Liberal nomination himself, but, decided against a run to back Archambault. For whatever reason, Archambault fired Fenik, and the lifelong Liberal was wooed to the New Democrats. The NDP did well in the last election here. Doug Smyth was a very nice guy,

and, when I phoned him on the night of May 2, 2011, was pleasantly surprised to find himself in second place – the first time, in living memory, this had happened to the NDP here. Now, in fairness to Mr. Smyth, at least some of this had to do with Jack Layton’s coattails. This time out, the NDP has a realistic chance of forming some manner of government. Even a new Forum poll out this past weekend for the Toronto Star shows them leading the Tories 39 to 28 per cent, an 11 per cent gap, which would give the NDP 160 seats, a minority government. Suddenly, with name recognition to die for, and the wind in the sails of his party – after all, nothing succeeds like success – Fenik enters the race with good odds of being at least second. It’ll be an uphill battle for Archambault, and not for reasons entirely of his making. His party is in third place in the polls, yes, but also where he is from makes a difference. Having not been born in this area myself, I do feel it, from time to time, the whole, “Y’ain’t from around here,” mentality. Some elements of Perth have it, where, if you don’t have five generations of family buried in

the graveyard, you’re somewhat suspect. I believe that this way of thinking is dying off, slowly, but Archambault, who hails from Montreal, certainly does not sound like he’s from “round these parts.” I’d like to believe that this wouldn’t be an issue in Canada in 2015, but, realistically, I know it will be, at least for some people. Vote for or against him because of what he says, what he believes – not how he says it or where he is from. Now, this fixed election law appears to have come back to haunt Harper, as the economy appears headed for a lessthan-stellar place. Not good news when you are running on your economic record. Also, as anyone from Pierre Trudeau to Jean Chretien to Brian Mulroney can tell you, governments start to reach their sell-by date around the 10year mark. Not for nothing did former New Brunswick Premier Frank McKenna promise, in 1987, that he would not serve beyond 1997 as leader. He stuck to his word and resigned that year – though the opposition probably wouldn’t have minded if he had left sooner! Two years later, his Liberals were defeated by Bernard Lord’s Progressive Conservatives.

majority in Canadian history (besting John Diefenbaker’s 1958 majority). Ditto the infamous early 1990 Ontario election, called by Liberal David Peterson. I remember being a kid in Grade 4 on election day, Sept. 6, 1990. Our school gym was being used as a polling station. One teacher was whispering to another, asking, “Why are we having another election so soon after the last one?” Provincially, there was a bit of voter fatigue, following elections in 1985 and 1987. That night, Bob Rae stood up as Ontario’s first NDP premier and gave credit where it was due – to Peterson. Maybe a summer election wasn’t such a bad idea after all, Rae joked. We’ll see how well it works for Harper… after Thanksgiving, when the leaves are turning red and orange. Hmm… Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston federal Liberal Party candidate Philippe Archambault looks on as his wife, Melanie, meets Fair Vote Canada representative Norm Hart after a meeting on electoral reform at McMartin House in Perth on July 29. But, he’s barreling ahead anyway, and, as if out of sheer doggedness, called a summer election. Now, back when he became P.M. in 2006, some pundits said that the parties would pay the price for defeating Paul Martin’s minority Liberal government at the end

of November 2005, forcing an election campaign stretching through the winter months, and over the Christmas season. Nothing ever came of that (and the same thing happened with the 1980 election anyway, forced by the defeat of John Crosbie’s 1979 budget.)

But summer elections tend not to be great harbingers for long-in-the-tooth parties. John Turner called the Sept. 4, 1984 federal election, hoping to capitalize on good poll numbers, only to have Brian Mulroney’s Progressive Conservatives win the largest parliamentary

Kricklewood Farm to host fundraiser for Mel’s animals

Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

There’s something about a field of sunflowers that has the power to put a smile on faces. Visitors to Kricklewood Farm near Frankville will be smiling from ear to ear on Saturday, Aug. 23 as a fundraiser for Mel’s Farm and All Animal Rescue will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s the second time in three years that owners Dale Horeczy and Brad Daily have opened their farm gates to this cause. “We raised about $2,000 for Mel’s Farm two years ago,” Horeczy said. “We didn’t host an event last year because we didn’t have the crop.” Kricklewood Farm is alive with 30 acres of sunflowers this year and the owners will have them on display and for sale during the fundraising event. “We’ll have paths mowed around the sunflowers so guests can walk around them… get up close and personal with them,” said Horeczy. Not only do they make sunflower oil – with 100 per cent sunflower seed grown using natural and traditional farming practices – but they also have goat milk soap in a variety of scents. The fundraiser for Mel’s Farm is a chance for the partners to host an open house as well as help a local animal charity. They themselves, have adopted a pot bellied pig and a senior Akita dog from Melanie Young, the owner of Mel’s Farm. “Brad and Dale had a fundraiser for us two years ago and it was extremely successful,” said Young. “Dale and I were on the LAWS (Lanark Animal Welfare Society) board of directors a few years back and we stayed good friends.” Young said she’s looking forward to another fun event. Visitors to the farm will get a chance to see some goats, chickens and ducks – a petting zoo if you will – as well as check out the sunflower crop. Throughout the fundraiser, there will be displays set up on the front yard. Farmers’ market vendors as well as arts and crafts vendors will be on site, selling their goods. Their table fees will be donated to the cause. Kat Durant will have a photo booth set up where folks can have their pictures taken for a donation to Mel’s Farm. “We’ll also have sunflower bouquets on sale for a $10 donation, too,” added Horeczy, who said that local businesses have been generous with their support for the fundraiser.

PR group hopes to reform Canada’s voting system in time for next election British Columbia voters, and failed each time. Hart blamed it on the process being “rigged,” but admitted that, in some places like Europe which use PR, antiimmigrant, anti-Islam parties that would otherwise have been shut out have wormed their way into parliaments. “If you have enough wackos out there supporting you, then, yes, you get in,” admitted Hart. With talk of percentage votes, and thresholds (like the three per cent threshold in Israel needed to enter the Knesset), Hart added that “nobody likes change,” and that he and Carley wanted to “keep it simple,” with the MPs remaining for each riding.

It may work in theory, and elsewhere, but proponents of a new voting system had a hard time explaining how they would replace the current voting system at a public meeting last week. While an election call was still only a rumour this past Wednesday, July 29, in a sweltering room at McMartin House in Perth, with only two 1970s era fans circulating air flowing in from open windows, the Citizens Democracy Forum (CDF) and Fair Vote Canada eagerly laid out their plans for some manner of a new, proportional representation system of voting. All of the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston candidates, save for Conservative Scott Reid, who sent his regrets because of a “non-negotiable meeting,” were in attendance: New Democrat John Fenik, Liberal Philippe Archambault, and Green Anita Payne. “Our sole purpose in life is to bring in some form of proportional representation,” said Fair Vote representative Norm Hart in starting off the evening. He was joined by CDF representative John Carley, himself no stranger to elections. Carley was the Liberal Party candidate in the old Lanark-Renfrew riding for the 1985 Ontario provincial election. While there was plenty of election talk in the air, there was no shortage of actual voting that night – two votes in fact. “Vote early, vote often,” joked Hart, a native of Nova Scotia, where, in the bad old days, some parties would hand voters a mickey of rum each time they voted. He unveiled the election slate that the assembled would be voting for, a series of colours. When the colours were unveiled, Payne instantly saw something amiss. “I’d like to know why there is no green candidate!” she joked. “We’re trying to be non-political,” said Hart. The final results were: * Black: 6 * Brown: 0 * Purple: 17 * Yellow: 6 * White: 3 * Blank: 1 This meant that the purple team won a plurality, but not a majority. But under our first-past-the-post system of voting, the purples had won the day, and would be the only ones to feast from a box of chocolates Hart had brought in, the spoils of victory if you will. While Hart relied on the honour system when purple voters came up to claim their chocolate prizes, Payne made it clear how she had voted: “Yay! My vote counted for once!” Before the next vote was held, Hart used more old-fashioned technology, an overhead projector, to show that Canada has only had four majority governments since the Second World War – in so far as parties who won the majority of the popular vote. They were Liberals William Lyon Mackenzie King in 1945 and Louis St. Laurent in 1949, and Progressive Conservatives John Diefenbaker in 1958 and Brian Mulroney in 1984. Using proportional representation, many of Canada’s elections would have turned out very differently. Many Canadians were shocked in October of 1993 when the separatist Bloc Quebecois formed the official opposition in Ottawa with 54 seats. Under PR however, they would only have taken 39.8 seats, while the Reform Party would have taken 55.1 seats and formed the opposition instead. The Progressive Conservatives would also have staved off near oblivion with their two seats, and had a more respectable 47.2 seats. While there are far too numerous examples – some of which have been written about in previous articles – of seat counts exaggerated in relation to a party’s share of the popular vote, one set of numbers Hart projected was especially sobering. Between the 2011 and 2014 Ontario provincial elections, there was a 76 per cent increase in rejected ballots, and a 131 per cent increase in unmarked ballots. And that was just amongst people who bothered to show up to vote. “It tells us something about the system and the politicians,” said Hart. “This is disturbing… They turned up, but

cies that are closer to the median voter,” he said, and not policies that appeal only to a narrow base. Much was made of “directly proportional and representative,” voting, which would see an MP for each riding, but then, based on how many votes each party got across the country, a certain number of votes or shares would be divided up amongst the parties at the first gathering after the election. Using the 2011 election results, the Conservatives, for example, with 39 per cent of the vote, would get 39 per cent of the votes in the house. Carley likened such a system to a corporation’s annual general meeting, where “it’s really like proxy voting. Everybody has to pay attention to everybody else.” “Democracy is not a perfect way of doing business,” Carley added. Some in the audience, while trying to understand the processes being proposed, suggested that it was a type of weighted voting. “You have a weighted vote already,” said Hart, with some areas of the country, like, say, Prince Edward Island, having a more stronger, weighted vote, than, say, an Ontario vote, because of discrepancies in the size and populations of ridings, with PEI getting a stronger voice than its population should otherwise allow, because of constitutional compromise. With his proposed system, “they (MPs) are all elected. Just some have more power than others.” The notion of proportional representation has been put to PEI and Ontario voters, and twice to

they turned their nose up at it (the ballot).” He pointed to a poll done by Environics, which found that, as of 2013, 78 per cent of those polled were in favour of changing the voting system. And as for those who charge that Canada would have as many elections as Italy under PR, in a country that would have elections “as often as they change pizza toppings?” It turns out, “we’ve had more elections since 1945 than Italy,” under our existing system. Canada has had 21 elections since 1945, and Italy has had 17. By the time of the second ballot, the lemons won out over all of the other fruits in the room: * Lemon: 14 * Grapes: 0 * Coconuts: 7 * Blackberry: 2 * Almond: 10 “You can feel the tension in the room,” said Hart as he read aloud the results. “Or maybe that’s just the heat!” Asked if there were any constitutional hurdles to overcome changes to the voting system – like there is in reforming the senate – Hart replied that there is no constitutional problem, just a change to the voting legislation. Pointing to his fruit board, now using a form of PR, in order to get anything done, the lemons, while the biggest winners, now have to make nice with either the coconuts or almonds in order to get anything done, and so as they don’t “look like a bunch of kindergarten kids on speed.

Similar to choosing between contact lenses or glasses, you can decide with your hearing professional which hearing aid style would best suit you. Both styles have approximately the same performance and functions, but are fitted to the ear differently.

It’s almost a shame this technology isn’t more visible! Open-fit and Invisible-In-the-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are smaller and more beautiful than ever, striking the perfect balance between size and performance. The elegant and highly discreet open-fit hearing aid fits perfectly on top of your ear, and the thin tube in your ear canal is designed to disappear against your skin. The new IIC hearing aid--now with wireless technology--provides all of the outstanding features and benefits you want in a digital hearing aid, minus the stigma that came with wearing one in the past.

A recent medical tip to readers sparked a quick reaction. It reported a study that those with higher blood cholesterol lived longer! This is contradictory to everything we’ve been told for years. The Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care reported research that will shock millions of North Americans who ingest, faithfully, cholesterol-lowering drugs (CLDs). Scientists analyzed the cholesterol level of 120,000 Danish adults residing in Denmark. They discovered Dr. Gifford-Jones men age 60 to 70 with high levels of blood cholesterol showed a 32 percent decreased risk of death. Women fared better with a 41 percent reduced risk of death. To add more injury to the cholesterol theory, these researchers also discovered that higher levels of LDL cholesterol, the bad cholesterol, was also associated with a decreased risk of death. Even more devastating was the fact that low cholesterol in young people was linked to an increased risk of dying! But high triglycerides increased the risk of death. This isn’t the only report that has contradicted the widely held belief that we should all strive for lower and lower cholesterol levels. For instance, Dr. Harlan Krumholz at the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale University, reported in 1994 that old people with low cholesterol died twice as often from heart attack as did old people with high cholesterol levels. Eleven studies of elderly people came up with a similar result. But researchers repeatedly tell me that reports that disagree with the current high cholesterol condemnation never get published nor make headlines. But there are more ways to end your days on earth than by coronary death. For instance, Professor R Jacobs from the Division of Epidemiology at the University of Minnesota analyzed 19 studies of 68,000 deaths. Jacobs and his colleagues concluded that high cholesterol protects against dying of respiratory diseases and gastrointestinal problems. In another study, Jacobs and Dr. Carlos Iribarren followed 100,000 healthy individuals in the San Francisco area for 15 years. They found that those who had low cholesterol at the beginning of the study were more often admitted to hospital to be treated for infectious disease. In its July 1992 issue, Archives of Internal Medicine reported a study of 351,000 men. This showed that low cholesterol levels were associated with increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke, liver disease, pancreatic cancer, digestive disease, cirrhosis of the liver and alcoholism. Of course, it’s logical for readers to question how a high blood cholesterol level could be an asset for longer life. After all, family doctors, cardiologists and television ads tell us over and over that lower blood cholesterol is the be-all-and-end-all solution to prevention of the nation’s number one killer, heart attack. Economists have a saying, “Follow the money if you want to find the answer to a perplexing problem”. The plain fact is that billions of dollars have been flowing every year to brain-wash doctors and the public about the virtues of CLDs, and this is not going to stop anytime soon. What should hit the headlines is that high doses of vitamin C and lysine can prevent or reverse hardening of arteries (atherosclerosis) preventing heart attack. The addition of lysine makes arteries stronger so there’s less chance of an artery rupturing causing stroke. Yet the medical establishment continues to prescribe CLDs with all their side-effects. They totally ignore this less expensive, safe and effective treatment available in both pill and powder form in Health Food Stores in Canada. In the U.S it’s available at www.mymedi-c.com or by telephone 1-844-871-0069. It’s incredible that the medical establishment doesn’t say, “Let’s take a critical look at this research. After all, these findings might be right”. But it won’t happen. Too much money is involved.in the marketing of CLDs and no money can be made from vitamin C and lysine since these natural products cannot be patented. I believe history will show that the use of CLDs is the most unethical and most dangerous experiment that has ever been conducted by doctors on mega millions of unsuspecting people. R0013400233_0806

Craig Hood, Legion member and founder of the Facebook group ‘Rumbling Circus Lion’, explained recently that “when this group was founded almost a year ago, its intentions were to bolster veteran membership within the RCL (Royal Canadian Legion) to make it more relevant and accountable to veterans. By virtue of its organization and infrastructure it is the organization that makes the most sense for veterans to be a part of.” The group is intended to be a social media gathering place for Legion executive, and Hood stresses that we must “keep pushing the many positives that the RCL has. Talk to people about the work for vets that the RCL does. It is all over their websites. Learn how to effectively address misconceptions about the RCL and counter objections. Also know when you are simply wasting your time with the haters, bypass them, and move on.” There is also a companion Facebook page called ‘Veterans for a strong Royal Canadian Le-

As mentioned on the Veterans Affairs Canada website, this time they were to be expanded to all three branches of the military: navy, army and air force. While each service had its own distinctive uniform and working dress, all wore the Nursing Sisters’ white veil. They were all commissioned officers and were respectfully addressed as “Sister” or “Ma’am”. The duration of the war saw an average age of 25 for the sisters, and by war’s end 4,480 had enlisted, including: 3,656 with the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps, 481 with the Royal Canadian Air Force Medical Branch, and 343 with the Royal Canadian Naval Medical Service.

Voter turnout in the most recent Federal election was 61.1 per cent of registered voters, the third lowest in Canadian history and only just above the lowest turnout of 58.8 per cent in 2008. Low voter turnout has been called a threat to our democracy, because some demographics are much less likely to vote than others. Younger people, for example, are much less likely to vote than middle-aged people. Those who are unemployed, people with less formal education, new Canadians, Aboriginal peoples and those who rent their home versus homeowners are all less likely to vote. While the causes of low turnout are complex two explanations are that people who don’t vote are unfamiliar with how the whole process works, and that we are losing the culture of participation among parts of the population. In an effort to demystify voting for people

who have never gone out to the polls and to promote the concept of democratic participation, The Table Community Food Centre will be hosting a series of Vote Pop-ups at the Centre and at other sites around Perth. While best known for its food access and food skills programs, an important part of the Table’s work is to support community engagement and empowerment, with a view to achieving systemic changes that ultimately reduce or even eliminate the need for services like food banks. Working with Samara Canada, a charity dedicated to reconnecting citizens to politics, The Table will be setting up mock polling stations featuring everything you would find at a real polling station including official ballot boxes. All of the materials for these polling stations have been supplied by Elections Canada. Volunteers working at the Vote Pop-ups will be assisting community members through the entire

process from checking to see if they are registered to vote to handing them a ballot to cast. On the ballot will be a poignant question to consider. Once participants have cast their vote they will be invited to create their own button completing the sentence ‘I am voting because …’ Results of the vote will be posted on The Table’s website and Facebook page. This first Vote pop-up is happening at The Table, 190 Gore St. East, on Wednesday Aug. 12 from 4 to 6 p.m. look for the polling station set up on the front lawn. Even if you are an experienced voter you are welcome to stop by and make sure you are registered to vote this fall, find out what forms of identification are accepted at polling stations, learn more about the advanced polls and make a button! So, just what will be on the ballot at this vote pop-up? You’ll have to come out to find out. Submitted by The Table

Blue-green algae discovered at Scott Lane

Drinking water Surface water is never a safe source of drinking water without effective treatment. The toxins released by bluegreen algae are not removed by commonly used treatment methods such as boiling, chlorination or ultraviolet light treatment. Consult a water treatment specialist if your drinking water comes from the lake. You may want to choose another source of water for drinking. Recreational water use

Avoid activities that increase your exposure to toxins in the water during an active algae bloom. When deciding whether to resume recreational use of the water after a blue-green algae bloom (swimming and water sports) consider the following factors: • Faster moving water will dilute and move the toxins out of an area more quickly, further decreasing the risk to health. Each property will have a different water flow pattern, so a local assessment is useful to further assess risk. • Skin irritation is the first sign that the level of toxin is significant in the water, so if this occurs, it is important not to go in the water. A few more days will help to clear the water if it is moving well, unless another bloom has occurred. • The water in lakes and rivers always has the potential to be infected with bacteria, viruses and other microbes that can affect health. So it is important not to swallow the water. Young children are more likely to swallow water so it is critical to observe them carefully when

in the water. • Be cautious about eating fish caught in water where a blue-green algae bloom has occurred. Toxins are concentrated in the liver. So avoid consuming the liver, kidneys and other organs of fish caught in an area affected by blue-green algae. Algae exist in nature; however, they rely on certain conditions to grow. While we cannot control many of these conditions, we can influence one of the factors that affect their growth that is the nutrients available to them. You can help reduce nutrient levels entering the lake by reducing the use of household fertilizers, agricultural runoff, and ensuring your septic system is in good working order. Residents are encouraged to contact the Spills Action Center at 1-800-268-6060 to report any new blue-green algae blooms. This way the location and number of blooms can be monitored.

A blue-green algae bloom has been seen at Scott Lane on Upper Rideau Lake, and has been confirmed by The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change through their testing. Further testing is being conducted to determine the presence of toxins, according to a Leeds-Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit press release dated July 30. Blue-green algae blooms are a natural seasonal phenomenon that may appear in our lakes, rivers and ponds. Many of these blooms are relatively harmless; however, some species have the potential to produce toxins which may be harmful to people and animals. The presence of blue-green algae and its toxins can only be confirmed through a laboratory test, so we recommend taking a cautious approach when you suspect a blue-green algae bloom. Toxins that can cause skin irritation, nausea and vomiting, and in higher concentrations, liver problems are released when the cells break down. The health unit advises people using surface water for recreation and drinking, to become familiar with blue-green algae so they can make informed decisions on when to avoid contact with the water. Algae blooms do degrade with time; however, it is not possible to say whether the toxins have completely left the area. Once the toxin is released from the cell, where it goes is dependent on the local characteristics of water movement in the area. The toxin will eventually be diluted into the body of water as any other soluble compound.

Maximilian’s still has recipe for success after 40 years Middleville hall gets funding

Submitted photo

Proud to carry on a Perth tradition: Co-owners Kevin Van Dusen, Joan Stephenson-Bowes and Sheri Robertson on Maximilian’s riverside patio. ers say our food is better than ever,” he says. “I love the new partnership, and I’m excited about where we can take this restaurant in the future.” What’s Kevin’s dream? “I’d like to buy a hockey team and rename them Maximilian’s!” he remarks. Longtime Perthites may remember that Maximilian’s hasn’t always resided at 99 Gore St. East. Its early roots were actually in the town of Maberly, where two Czech immigrants, Milo and Jane Kravacek, worked at a restaurant called Old Europe. In 1975, Milo and Jane moved to Perth and opened Maximilian’s in the old Perth

Hotel at Gore and Foster streets. When Milo became ill in 1978, he asked his good friend Heidi Gibb if she would buy the restaurant, and she did, along with a partner, Cindy Halpin. 12 years later, Heidi negotiated with Glen Crain and John Stewart to lease the beautiful old stone building at 99 Gore St. East. The year was 1990, and the rest is history. You can see that history everywhere you look in Maximilian’s, from the imposing 1920s portrait of Czechoslovakian President T.G. Masaryk, painted by famed Austrian artist Ludwig Vacatko, to the faces of customers who have been

coming back for years, and the new customers who say Maximilian’s makes the best schnitzel they’ve ever tasted. It’s a recipe for success that keeps on making new friends. There are plenty of restaurants in Perth these days, but it’s good to know that a place that’s helped make happy memories for so many years is still alive and well and ready for the future. And thanks to a new generation of owners who are embracing the quality and tradition of Maximilian’s, that future is in very good hands indeed. Submitted by Maximilian’s.

Scott Reid, the Member of Parliament for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, announced $15,000 in funding for the Township of Lanark Highlands. The funding will go towards building a well and septic system for Middleville Hall. Originally built in 1899, Middleville Hall continues to be an important and historic part of Lanark Highlands. The funding is being provided to the Township of Lanark Highlands, through the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program. The Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program is a part of the Government of Canada’s celebration of the nation’s upcoming 150th anniversary, in 2017. “The upgrades to the well and septic system will correct a situation that has been on-going for many years and will ensure the continued safety of our residents,” said Mayor Brian Stewart. Reid said these kinds of infrastructure developments and renovations are important, “particularly for a wonderfully old building such as Middleville Hall.”

In a world where change is the only constant, there’s something quietly comforting about a restaurant that’s stood the test of 40 years, and is still every bit as good as you remember. The year 2015 marks the 40th anniversary of Maximilian’s, a milestone that’s rare enough in business, and nearly unheard of in the restaurant trade. Today, the job of carrying on the Maximilian’s tradition of ﬁne European cuisine is in new hands, but fans of the restaurant can rest assured that the schnitzel is just as tender as ever, and the buttered potatoes just as creamy. “We know we have a lot to live up to,” says Joan Stephenson-Bowes, one of Maximilian’s new owners, and a lifelong Perth resident who sold her successful baking business to buy into the restaurant. “Just about anyone you talk to in our town can recall a family reunion, wedding rehearsal dinner or special birthday they’ve celebrated here,” she says. “Maximilian’s is a Perth institution. We see our job as not just carrying on that tradition, but making it even better.” For co-owner Sheri Robertson, being part of Maximilian’s is a dream come true. “Maximilian’s has been a favourite of my family since I was ten-years-old,” she says. “There’s just something about this place that makes you want to be a part of it. So after I ﬁnished my degree in English Lit at Queens I enrolled in the culinary program at Algonquin College, and that eventually led me back here. I’ve never been happier.” Maximilian’s third partner, Kevin Van Dusen, has been an owner for several years. He started at the restaurant more than a decade ago, and never wanted to work anywhere else. “As a chef I’m proud to hear custom-

Bruins’ alumni team coming to Perth in January

ljweir@metroland.com

Michael McLean has scored another one for the home team. The Perth Blue Wings owner has just verified not more than a few hours ago, that Perth will host the Boston Bruins alumni team in January, 2016. “And there is a possibility that we’ll be playing golf next summer with the Leafs,” said McLean, who “bleeds blue.” It’s McLean’s dream to have all original six NHL alumni teams make an appearance at the home of the Blue Wings. It started just two years ago with the Montreal Canadians who came for a sell-out appearance in January 2014. Over the course of the next few years, he wants to host the alumni teams of the Detroit Red Wings, New York Rangers, Chicago Black Hawks, and of course his favored Leafs. “Nothing will ever beat a Leafs visit,” he said, be that on the links or on the ice. But having the Bruins’ alumni skaters in town for a Sunday afternoon game against the Blue Wings (of past and present and even future status) will be another one for the fans to enjoy. “We had a blast two years ago with the Canadiens and Guy Lafleur here,” he said. “But what I really love about the Bruins is that they are so focused on their communities… they do a lot of stuff with the kids.” The Bruins will host a clinic for the first 30 or so younger players who are interested in lacing up and hitting the ice for some pre-game drills. “Not sure how we’ll do that, but we’ll be working with the minor hockey association... maybe do a draw or something.” Tickets to see players like Rick

‘Nifty’ Middleton, who spent 12 years with the Bruins and was one of the highest scoring players on the team, will go on sale in two weeks. Cost is $25 per ticket, but there are $50 tickets available if you want to meet the players during intermissions. “People can purchase the $50 tickets and then come meet the players, have their photos taken with them and get autographs,” McLean said. And as when the Canadiens were in town, a special VIP dinner will follow the game at a cost of $100. “That sold out,” he said of the special dinner event with the Canadiens. The $100 dinner ticket does not including the game. Other Bruins on the alumni team include Terry ‘Taz’ O’Reilly, Ray Bourque, Reggie Lemelin, Glen Featherstone, Ken Jodge Jr., Bill O’Dwyer, Ken Linesman, Tom ‘The Bomber’ Songin, Tim Sweeney, Bill Bennett, Andy Brickley, Dan LaCouture, Jay Miller, John Carter, Bruce Crowder, Bob Beers, Dacid Shaw, Cleon Daskalakis, Bruce Shoebottom, Bob Sweeney, Al Iafrate, David Jansen, Fred Ahern and Rich Brennan. “Boston has the most marque players,” McLean said. “Ray Bourque… one of the greatest defensemen of all time. Nifty Middleton, O’Reilly.” “Ray Bourque… one of the greatest defensemen of all time. Nifty Middleton, O’Reilly.” McLean said his Blue Wings fans, and hockey fans in general will “eat this stuff up. These guys are so engaged with the kids and the players. Bourque… that Hall of Famer doesn’t miss a game.” Watch for more on this story as it develops, and for tickets, email Boston Bruins alumni website McLean at michael@protection- Rick Middleton is one of the many Boston Bruins alumni players who is scheduled to make an appearance in Perth team.ca in January 2017.

Heat beats men’s night with smaller crowd on the links

Scott Rintoul and RBC sponsored the July 28 Perth Links O’ Tay Men’s Twilight League play. He came out to play and brought lots of prizes for the golfers. The heat kept some golfers at home as we only had 58 golfers out. We had another guest at the golf course as well. A bald eagle was surveying the course from the top of a tree on No. 10. The format for the evening was regular golf and Skip Patterson stood out with a 35 on the front. Bill Nichols and Peter Sims shared

a 42 on the back. Long drives were by John Fawcett, Derrick Bowes, Tyler Shanks, Alex Jopling, John Sherrard and Bill Nichols. Bowes also won weekly entry to the Burns Jewelers $500 gift certificate to be drawn at our closing tournament. Sims was closest to the pin on No. 15 and will be going to dinner at the Lanark Landing Restaurant with a $25 gift certificate. The names of all those who had a long drive are put in a draw for Connected to Your Community - P21 - Thursday, August 6, 2015

a box of balls and those who had a low gross are also in a draw for a box of balls. The winners were Alex Jopling for the long drive prize and Al Siddall won the prize for low gross. There is also a draw for $100 gift certificate from the golf course and all members of the league are eligible. Fred Parks was the lucky winner for the month of July. Submitted by Bob Burch

Motorcycles rally pays a visit to Westport Legion For the second time this year that motorcycles roared into the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #542, parking lot on Aug. 1. Some of the bikers liked the Westport area so much when they came for the Ride for Dad they decided to swing by a second time bringing a whole different group of people. This time it was for the Canadian Motorcycle Cruisers or better known as the CMC. Every year on this weekend they hold a CMC National Rally that is hosted in a different part of the country. They are the first and largest “All Canadian” riding club. Chris Spafford, 1st officer for the Kingston Charter said it was their turn to host the club and they were excited to show them the area by first taking a scenic tour of the area and he was happy to include Westport as part of that rally ride. They stopped for lunch at the legion making their way around the area heading back to Rideau Acres camp for a barbeque, and a weekend of family activities. The CMC motorcycle club are well known for their fundraising but this is an event which is done to bring the members and their families from across the country to have a fun weekend. The organization was founded in November of 2006 with the first chapter in Cambridge/Guelph the CMC

based riding club with all members of the family being welcome at most events. They welcome every kind of motorcycle into their riding club. The mandate of their riding club is: It doesn’t matter the brand, as long as you ride! They have three simple rules: no alcohol on group rides; ride safely; and always be nice and have fun! The CMC is an internet based club with all communication on internet forums. Each Chapter has its own forum for club business and communications. These will include chapter rides, general information, member updates, charity rides, etc. If you are not a member of the CMC and would like to go to the rally it is very easy to do. Just go to the CMC National site and join a local chapter. There is no sign up fee, monthly dues or yearly dues. Just come out and ride with a great group of people.

Perth and District Community Fund aids impoverished Guatemalan families The lives of four Maya families in the western highlands of Guatemala got a whole lot better this year with the help of two local Perth groups. The Perth and District Community Fund, through the Gord Jackson Memorial Fund donated $850 to the Guatemala Stove Project. This allowed the GSP to build four more improved masonry stoves in western Guatemala stoves this year (on top of the 550 other stoves constructed this past year). Each of these four new stoves will have a positive impact on the lives of each member of these households. It will add years to the lives of each person because they will no longer be immersed in the smoke and particulate matter from daily indoor cooking ﬁres. Young children will beneﬁt the most from this simple improvement in their living conditions.

The improved masonry cook stoves built through the Guatemala Stove Project will also free up the limited resources of these families. They will need only half as much ﬁre wood to fuel their cooking ﬁres. Besides helping the environment through reduced emissions and deforestation, this means these families will have more time and resources to put towards other aspects of their family’s needs. Perhaps this will begin the process of breaking the cycle of poverty for these families. It is heartening to think that the generosity and thoughtfulness of people here in the highlands of Lanark County, through the Perth and District Community Fund, has had such a positive impact on the lives of needy families in the highlands of Guatemala.

I have a T-shirt that says my Lifeguard walks on water. We have experience many storms lately. Last week we had an awful lightning storm and as I listened to the rumbling I was glad I was inside “safe” in my house. I heard later that the lightning had hit a barn near Elgin, only a village away from me. How safe was I? Our life can be like the storms we see. The lightning ﬂashes and we think we are safe, but the deluge of water comes down and we start to wonder where our safety is. In June I was preparing to do a trip to London, England and needed a passport. The trauma it caused was interesting. I felt like I was in the storm that was never ending. I read a story of Victor Hugo, (who wrote the Hunchback of Notre Dame); the story was called “NinetyThree” The story was about a ship caught on the high seas in a storm. At the height of the storm they could hear a crashing down below and realised that the cannons had worked their way loose and were crashing against the sides of the ship. Two brave

REEL in a GREAT DEAL in our FISHING DEPARTMENT

sailors volunteered to go and tie up the cannons as they realised the danger of shipwreck was greater that the fury of the storm. ‘Storm of life may blow about us, but they do not pose the greatest threat. It is the fear within us that overwhelms us.’ Jesus was with the disciples in the middle of a storm. They were frantic, but he slept. When they woke him up he calmed the storm. They were to learn that although the danger of the storm was real; their fear was causing the problem. It takes the Power of God’s Love, Jesus Christ to still the tempest raging in our souls that can cripple our lives. This was a message I read from a sermon on the 18 June, and I dated it with one word. Passport. Storms come up suddenly, they can cause us to loose sanity, the fear they produce can paralyze us. So what is the solution? Jesus calmed the storm for the disciples, and He can still calm the storms we face in life today. We need to trust in Him, put our faith in Him. Like those brave sailors we

need to reach out to Jesus whom we can trust and allow Him control of our lives. Not easy to do if you are living in fear, but Jesus is My Life Guard and when you trust in Him, in the most amazing way He will bring calm to your storm.

Bring summer indoors with fresh cut flowers from the garden Margaret Inwood

Fresh cut flowers, whether picked from our gardens or purchased from a store or farmers’ market, add beauty and bring the outdoors into our rooms. We often wonder if there is anything we can do to extend the life of these beauties. To keep your arrangement looking its best, for the longest time, follow a few simple steps. Start with a vase that has been cleaned with hot soapy water to eliminate bacteria and fungi and then rinsed thoroughly. Be sure to prepare the flowers properly. Cut just-opening flowers early in the morning and place in water immediately. Improve the vase life of flowers that ooze a milky “sap” (poinsettias, poppies) by immersing the bottom 5 cm of their stems in boiling water for 10 seconds before using them in an arrangement. Gently remove lower leaves from the stem so there will be none in the vase water. Before you put any flowers in the vase, recut the stems, removing 2-5 cm at an angle under water. You can do this in a basin full of water, or even by holding the stem and the blades of the shears

Master Gardeners (or kitchen scissors) under running tap water. Don’t crush or burn flower stems as these practices are of little value. Flowers in most arrangements collapse early because they are unable to obtain enough water to keep them looking crisp and fresh. Recut them under water to ensure that no air gets into the stems. If you live in a hard water area (you find white deposits in teakettles and on faucets), use demineralized water sold in supermarkets for filling steam irons, to make your vase solutions. Never use softened water in a vase solution as it contains sodium, which is bad for cut flowers. Flowers are living things, and like us they need food for proper growth and healthy color. Amazingly, you can provide much of what a cut flower needs with one of the following simple vase solutions. They contain acid to improve water flow in flower stems, sugar to help buds open and last longer, and a preservative to reduce growth of bacteria

and fungi. A recent issue of Fine Gardening Magazine documented an experiment they conducted to determine just that. Other than using plain water in a vase, they tried six other methods. These are: • 1 tablespoon sugar and 2 tablespoons of vinegar per quart of water • 1 tablespoon sugar per quart of water • 1 tablespoon sugar and ½ teaspoon of bleach per quart of water • 1 part lemon-lime soda to 3 parts water • 1 tablespoon Listerine per quart of water • 2 teaspoons “Floral Life Flower Food 300” per quart of water The result of the experiment was intended to prove what additives would extend the life of the cut flowers and maintain their quality for a certain length of time. “Floral Life Flower Food 300” proved to be the best and it can be purchased at a florist very cheaply. The best home remedy was the lemon-lime soda. The worst of all was the vinegar and sugar. If you are using florist foam as

an arranging aid, let it soak in the vase solution until it sinks. Do not push it down into the container as air bubbles will remain inside the foam and cause early ﬂower death. Insert stems carefully. The higher the temperature, the faster ﬂowers deteriorate, so

cut them early in the morning, when temperatures are cool, and avoid exposure to heat. Don’t place arrangements in sunny locations, near heaters or ﬁreplaces, or on top of television sets. Do put arrangements in a cool place overnight if you possibly can.

Summer is the time we all look forward to. Why not bring a little of it indoors? Visit us at www.lanarkmg. blogspot.com or contact us at lanarkmg@gmail.com or call Margaret at 613 253-5098. Margaret Inwood is a Lanark County Master Gardener.

Alcohol, capsized boats, no safety equipment common themes this summer With summer underway, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is sharing some fatality statistics associated with two of eastern Ontario’s most popular summer recreational activities. Sadly, East Region has been particularly hard hit this year with five off road vehicle deaths and five recent drowning deaths. The OPP is reminding residents and summer tourists in the area to be focused on safe boating practices and

off road vehicle operation. A ten-year snapshot into boating and off-road incidents investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has revealed that capsized boats and lack of safety equipment have been the most common factors in fatal boating incidents while alcohol leads the list of factors in off-road vehicle incidents (ORV). Over the past ten years (20052014), 276 people have lost their

lives in boating incidents with 226 of the deceased not wearing life jackets. Sadly, many of these victims may have survived had they chosen to wear this important lifesaving equipment. “Our data could not make it any clearer that the risks to all and the consequences for some do not change from year-to-year when mixing boating and off-roading with alcohol or drugs, driving carelessly, and not being equipped or prepared to survive

an unexpected life-threatening turn of events on the water and on the trails,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support. “East Region members of the OPP are committed to public safety and would like to remind everyone that we will be patrolling the highways, trails and waterways daily to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable summer. Safety is a full time job, don’t make it

Two child actors make professional debut at Classic Theatre Festival sional actors – with a cast that includes Classic Theatre Festival veterans Greg Campbell, Richard Gélinas, Alastair Love, as well as Alison Smyth, Scott Clarkson and Sean Jacklin – because “they’re like role models, they know what they’re doing, and this is a ﬁrst time for me. I’ve been doing a lot of community theatre where there’s not as much expected of me.” Both Miernik and Salter view Gloria as a bit of a bratty girl who exhibits a “don’t do it to me or you’ll get it back” attitude that she inherits from her parents, who are often involved in squabbles in what during the 1960s would have been termed a “broken home,” with ﬁghting, violence, and a father coming and going. “It’s hard on her so I think that is why she takes things out on Suzy,” says Miernik in reference to the main character, a blind woman who must, with Gloria’s help, fend off criminals who have invaded her home. “I don’t think she likes Suzy because she’s got all this stuff happening in her life, and now she has to help this blind lady and doesn’t want to do that, it’s not voluntary,” Miernik says. Salter agrees, and says, “She doesn’t have a lot of heart in her, and then she does things like rearranging the furniture on a blind woman. Sometimes Gloria sneaks around and tries not to let Suzy know.” At the age of 11, both Salter and Miernik hope for a future as professional performers. “I love acting because you get to tell a story and people will listen without being judged,” says Salter. “You can just be there having fun. Sometimes

people think it’s silly of us to be telling stories still because we’re almost teenagers soon, so there’s almost like a ‘grow out of it, you’re not a kid anymore’ attitude,” but she takes heart seeing actors in their 50s telling stories on stage as an occupation. Miernik started performing at age three, and “it felt really great. I had older people around me who made it fun and exciting. The first show I did was mostly songs, and I love to sing. I like taking on the roles of other people, thinking a different way and being a different person. About 95 per cent of the roles I have played are boys, so I like to be different and just get out there. I think people will like Wait Until Dark because it’s a thriller, like the stories people tell around a campfire.” For Salter, it was watching live theatre that got her hooked, and as soon as she took to the stage herself, “I was very happy, I knew I wouldn’t be judged because of how I look, because I am acting as someone else, so you can’t be judged as a person then.” Asked whether it’s difficult to play a nine-year-old, Salter laughs mischievously. “Not really, because sometimes I still act like I am nine, I don’t always act my age, I can be very goofy and immature sometimes, but when it comes to acting, I can be any age I want to.” Relating to a character who comes from a situation of family conflict and divorce is not a stretch for either performers, as they both know children who are going through such difficult situations. Salter says “some of my friends when I was young, their parents were divorc-

ing, and the kids were very upset, sometimes depressed, not always feeling on top of the world. I try to play the role like they would have felt.” Miernik chimes in that “there’s lots of kids my age who still have parents divorcing. A lot of kids, when I mention how I have great parents, I feel kind of sad when they don’t have that.” Both Miernik and Salter are huge Audrey Hepburn fans (she starred in the ﬁlm version of Wait Until Dark), and Miernik hopes to be either the next Hepburn or Anne Hathaway.

From the moment two child actors met in rehearsal this summer, they have become best friends who will be sharing the key role of Gloria, a spunky nine-year-old girl in the Classic Theatre Festival staging of the gripping Frederick Knott play Wait Until Dark, opening Aug. 7 and running until Aug. 30. For Perth’s Madison Miernik and Smiths Falls’ Samantha Salter, both aged 11, discovering that both wore green the ﬁrst day they worked together, their birthdays are one day apart, and they’ll be on the same hockey team this fall, were enough coincidences to seal the deal of a solid friendship and working relationship. They’ve also discovered they were in the same show with the Perth Academy of Musical Theatre a couple of years ago, but were too shy at the time to get to know one another. It’s a big step for the duo, who have appeared in numerous community theatre productions in Perth and Smiths Falls. But that’s all changed with the daily regimen of rehearsal with a professional company, with a director, stage manager, and actors from Ottawa, Toronto, and other parts of the province sharing in the task of bringing a play to life. Asked what they most enjoy about the new experience, Miernik enthuses, “You can’t even name a speciﬁc thing, it’s just all been so cool and you meet awesome people.” Salter agrees, adding, “It is so exciting to learn new things about the play and from the other actors. It’s really easy to learn off them because they act so well.” Miernik likes working with profes-

Toronto when she is older, adding “I’m hoping I’m good enough.” Her new best friend, Madison Miernik, reassures her: “You will be.” “You too,” Samantha says back.

Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health is reminding all Ontarians to protect themselves and their families against Lyme disease and West Nile virus this summer. Dr. David Williams is asking people to take simple measures to avoid being bitten by blacklegged ticks that can carry Lyme disease. If not identified and treated early, infection can lead to recurring arthritis, neurological problems, numbness and paralysis. “Ontarians should definitely enjoy all the province has to offer outdoors this summer. However, they should keep in mind that while outdoors, they can be exposed to Lyme disease and West Nile virus,” stated Dr. Williams. “Taking the necessary precautions to prevent tick and mosquito bites is the best defense against these diseases.” Reducing exposure to ticks is the best defense against Lyme disease. You can protect yourself and family by: • Wearing closed-toe shoes, longsleeved shirts and pants. • Pulling your socks over your pant legs to prevent ticks from crawling up your legs. • Wearing light-coloured clothing to

spot ticks more easily. • Using insect repellent containing DEET or Icaridin on clothing as well as on exposed skin, following the instructions carefully • Showering or bathing within two hours of being outdoors to remove ticks that can be on your skin but not yet attached. • Doing a daily full body check for ticks. Young blacklegged ticks can be as small as a poppy seed, so look carefully. Check children and pets for ticks as well. “As a public health physician, I know that Lyme disease is a serious issue. Our government is committed to protecting Ontarians from Lyme disease and other diseases carried by ticks and mosquitos. It’s important that all Ontarians take these simple steps to protect themselves while enjoying the outdoors this summer,” said Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. Dr. Williams is also reminding Ontarians to protect themselves from mosquito bites to reduce their risk of getting infected with West Nile virus. Simple precautions to take include: • Using insect repellent containing

DEET or Icaridin on clothing as well as on exposed skin, following instructions carefully. • Wearing light-coloured clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and long pants. • Making sure screen doors and windows are in good repair to keep mosquitoes outside. • Eliminating mosquito breeding sites around your home by emptying standing water in ﬂowerpots and birdbaths on a regular basis, and getting rid of compost and dense, overgrown shrubbery. Most people who catch West Nile virus will experience fever, head and body aches, a mild rash and swollen lymph glands. More serious symptoms include encephalitis (swelling of the brain), difﬁculty swallowing and confusion. Adults 50 years of age and older and people with underlying medical conditions and/or weaker immune systems are at greater risk. If you or a family member are experiencing serious symptoms and health effects, or have concerns about any symptoms, contact your health care provider right away. Risk areas for Lyme disease in Ontar-

Tips for keeping your summer campfires safe Sitting around a campfire with family and friends can be a great way to enjoy Ontario’s beautiful outdoors. “Following simple steps for building, tending and putting campfires out can help save the beautiful natural resources that are abundant in Ontario. I urge you to be responsible while you’re enjoying your campfires this summer,” said Bill Mauro, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. Here are some tips on how to keep your campfires safe: Choosing a site • Pick a site that is close to a water source and sheltered from the wind • Build your fire on a rock surface or bare dirt • Build the fire at least three metres away from logs, stumps, trees and overhanging branches • Make sure the fire is 15 metres away from buildings or tents Preparing the site • Clear a space about two metres wide • Remove pine needles, grass, leaves and twigs • Ensure you have a pail of water and a shovel to control the fire. Building your campfire • Keep the fire smaller than one metre high and one metre wide • Small fires are safer, easier to control and easier to put out • A small fire will also keep cooking tools from blackening and let you get close enough to cook. Stay nearby • Never leave a campfire unattended • If you start a campfire, make sure you keep it under control and put it out before you leave. Putting the fire out • Use the following steps to put out your fire:

• Pour lots of water on the campfire • Stir the ashes with a stick • Pour on more water • Repeat these three steps until the ashes don’t hiss, everything looks wet and no more smoke comes from the ashes. Fire safety tips for kids • Always have an adult supervise when you’re around a fire • Never play with matches or fireworks • If you see a fire burning with no people near it, tell an adult immediately.

One last tip – don’t forget the s’mores! Did you know • In 2014, 61.3 per cent of forest fires in Ontario were caused by humans. • During the camping season, Ontario experiences an average of at least one wildfire every day caused by an unextinguished or unattended campfire. • On average, more than 200 wildfires are started every year by people participating in recreational activities in forested areas.

RVCF welcomes Mattamy Homes as new conservation partner Mattamy Homes has made a major donation to the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation’s (RVCF) Environmental Land Fund. The money is used to help secure environmental land for future conservation use by the people of the Rideau watershed in eastern Ontario. Mattamy, who recently acquired Monarch Homes, is upholding Monarch’s long and generous history with the RVCF that has helped bring 23 properties into public ownership over the past 15 years. These protected properties include 100 acres of wetland in the Richmond Fen, an island in Upper Rideau Lake and 125 acres of forest known as the Meisel Woods Conservation Area near Crow Lake. These conservation lands all have key environmental features like shoreline, wetlands and groundwater recharge areas that will be protected in perpetuity. Mattamy’s recent donation brings

the total donated under this partnership to almost $70,000. “We are delighted to welcome Mattamy Homes as our local conservation partner. It is encouraging to see major corporations strengthening the environmental health of communities in which they live, work and play,” said foundation chair Jason Kelly. “Mattamy is looking forward to carrying on the longstanding relationship with the RVCF started by Monarch,” says Kevin O’Shea, president of Mattamy’s Ottawa division. “The work that the RVCF does is important to our collective future and we’re pleased to be able to support them.” Mattamy is Canada’s largest new home builder and has won many awards for their people-friendly community planning. More can be found out about Mattamy Homes in Ottawa at www.MattamyHomes.com/Ottawa.

If you have visited Lyme disease risk areas and are exhibiting symptoms, let your doctor know. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics if diagnosed and treated early. West Nile virus has been reported in different parts of Ontario – cities as well as rural areas. Contact your local public health unit to ﬁnd out when and where you are most at risk to exposure to West Nile virus. Submitted by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Several vehicle recalls and buybacks making news of late If you’re the owner of one of the most popular pick-ups in the country, you may have questions regarding a recent news release about uncompleted recalls and a government buyback order. Just a reminder, my day job is at a local Dodge/ Chrysler/Jeep/Ram (FCA) dealership. On Friday, July 24, the US National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Fiat Chrysler Auto (FCA) came to a consent agreement on penalties and operating requirements regarding incomplete safety recalls. The vehicles involved were select 20092012 Dodge Ram trucks (1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500 series), 2009 Chrysler Aspens and Dodge Durangos, and 20092011 Dodge Dakotas. The agreement included a record-setting $105 million (USD) fine, having an independent advisor overseeing FCA recalls for the next three years, and an order to offer to buyback vehicles that have not yet had their recalls completed. NHTSA took this action due to the delay in FCA supplying parts to their dealer networks to complete repairs. NHTSA reps stated they had verified complaints as recently as May of this year from consumers who still were unable to get repairs done due to parts delays for recalls that were over two years old. Local FCA dealerships have been flooded with calls and inquiries since Canadian media broke the story on Monday, July 27. First and foremost, Canadians should know that the agreement

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

announced is currently a US-only regulation. A spokesperson from the Canadian arm of FCA stated to the press that, “Although the consent order announced pertains to FCA US and NHTSA, FCA Canada is in regular communication with Transport Canada and will continue to work closely with Transport Canada officials.” In past situations such as this, automakers haven’t treated Canadian consumers any differently than those from the US, however Transport Canada does not have the legal clout that NHTSA does to force remedies and repairs. For anyone thinking this might be a goldmine in terms of trading up to another FCA or competitor’s product, NHTSA was very clear on the terms of the buyback offers. In their consent agreement they state that FCA will be required to “refund the purchase price paid by the first purchaser of the vehicle for purposes other than resale, less a reasonable allowance for depreciation, and not including the cost of modifications made to the vehicle after the first retail sale. FCA

US will additionally offer a premium of 10 per cent above the purchase price to any owner of an unremedied vehicle.” Vehicles purchased used or those that have already had their recalls completed do not apply. At the time of this writing (July 29) Canadian FCA dealers have not received any information from their manufacturer’s head office with details about this agreement. The best way for consumers to ensure they get notification of any recall or offer is to make sure their current mailing and email address is on file with their automaker. If you’ve received recall notices in the past (delivered to your current address), your file is most likely up to date. If you’re not sure you can simply call your dealership and provide them with your vehicle serial or identification number and they can verify the data online and make any corrections that are needed. If the hot weather hasn’t gotten to you yet, you can warm up your summer with some great auto shows this weekend. From Aug. 7 to 9 you can catch the Auto-Show Gatineau at the Parc des Cedres in Aylmer. Details can be found at www.autoshowaylmer.com. On Saturday, Aug. 8, the ADESA Ottawa’s fourth annual Classic and Muscle Car Auction and Show ‘n’ Shine rolls into Vars at 1717 Burton Road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (exit #88 off the 417). On the same day the second annual “Art of the Ages” Car Show and Craft

Fair lands in Cardinal (North of Highway #2 from Home Hardware to the Ingredion Centre/New Arena) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. And you can get lost in the ‘50s on the same Saturday at the Sandy Mountain Campground at 10152 County Road 43 in Mountain with their swap meet, cruise-In, and classic cars starting at 4 p.m. And finally on Sunday, Aug. 9, Volksfest “The People’s Car Show” comes to Embrun from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Embrun Blais Park and Arena.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 It almost seems as if something is working against you this week, Aries. It could just be your overactive imagination. Channel your energy into a creative project. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You may get swept away in some lifelike dreams this week, Taurus. It may be difficult to discern when you’re awake or asleep. Don’t get carried away. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, a professional predicament may have you feeling as if you have been run ragged. Regroup, even if it means taking a few days off. This time away is just the remedy you need. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 It’s nearly impossible to stick to your schedule this week, Cancer. Too many things will pop up, and you’ll be spending your time juggling multiple responsibilities. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your imagination may push you in the wrong direction this week. Daydreaming instead of getting things done is risky. Focus on the tasks at hand. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your coworkers will come through in a big way this week. Make the most of this opportunitity to work together as a team, and it will pay dividends going forward.

CARD OF THANKS

Garnet Crawford laid down his line gauge and took off his printer’s apron for the final time July 18, 2015, when he passed away in Kemptville District Hospital with his family at his side after a brief but courageous battle with lung cancer. He was 84. Born in Marlborough Township January 11, 1931, Garnet Alvin Crawford was the son of Olive Mary Crawford (nee Ralph) and Howard Wesley Crawford (both deceased), and was one of six children. He was predeceased by Gordon, Lois, Orval and Phyllis and is survived by one brother, Arnold. Garnet was predeceased by the love of his life Beatrice Elizabeth Crawford (nee Kingsley) after 60 years of marriage and the loving father of Brian (Ann Patrice), Karen Bernard (Philip) and Connie Seguin (Roger). He was the proud grandfather of Christopher (Tina), Jason (Jenna), Matthew, Trevor (Kim), Jaime (Jason), Shallen (Jonathon) and Sarah (Brandon) and the fun-loving great-grandfather of 13. Garnet lost his father at an early age and moved into Kemptville with his mother and siblings a few years later where he lived all his life. He entered the printing trade as a Printer’s Devil right out of school and learned the profession so well that he went on to pass the exam to become a Queen’s Printer and work on Parliament Hill. His career took another turn when he purchased Advance Printing Ltd which he ran with his wife for 50 years earning many awards along the way including a Gold Quill from the Ontario Community Newspaper Association. Garnet met his wife Beatrice in a strawberry patch near Kemptville and they went on to share their lives together for 60 years. They travelled to many countries around the world but were always happy to return home to their cottage on the Rideau where they regaled their many friends and family with tales of their trips. When Garnet took off his printer’s apron over the years it was usually to put on his fireman’s uniform. He was a proud member of the Kemptville Volunteer Fire Department for 45 years, making many life-long friends and earning several community service awards for his many years in the department. His years as a fireman was one of his proudest achievements. His community service didn’t stop there, however, serving as Councillor and then Deputy-Reeve of Kemptville during the 1970’s, helping to guide the town through its many growing pains. But it wasn’t all work. Garnet enjoyed fishing and hunting and cottage life and was always quick with a story that never failed to hold his grandkids’ attention. His sense of humour was well known. Popi will be sorely missed. Visitation was held at the Brown Chapel of Hulse, Playfair and McGarry on Tuesday, July 21, with the funeral on Wednesday, July 22, and interment at Kemptville Union Cemetery. Garnet’s grandchildren acted as pallbearers with honorary pallbearers including Ken Hudson, Tom Blair, Howard Wilson, Gord Turner and Rudy Finzell. For those who wish, a donation may be made to Kemptville District Hospital or the Canadian Cancer Foundation.

Sharonne L. Baker

Mary Macks-Lurtz 1926-2015

On July 29, 2015 we said “So long for now” to a loving mother and best friend of Donna Lurtz and Dan Lurtz and cherished “Bubby” to Austin Adam Lurtz-Wiseman. Blessed are they who understand my faltering step and shaking hand, Blessed, who know my ears today must strain to catch the things they say, Blessed are they who seem to know my eyes are dim and my mind is slow, Blessed are those who looked away, I spilled my tea on the cloth that day! Blessed are they who, with cheery smile, stopped to chat for a little while, Blessed are they who know the way to bring back memories of yesterday, Blessed sre they who never say, “you’ve told that story twice today!” Blessed are they who make it known that I’m loved, respected and not alone, And blessed are those who will ease the days of my journey home, in loving ways. Thank you to the nursing staff and caregivers at Broadview Nursing Ctr. In Mary’s memory we ask only that you take a moment to extend an act of kindness to someone today.

Florence Catherine Boyle (Owens) passed away peacefully on July 24, 2015 at the West End Villa, Ottawa, Ontario at the age of 91. She was the daughter of the late Florence Mary Owens (Halpin) and Frank C. Owens. Catherine was a resident of Saint John until 2008 when she moved to her daughter’s home in Pakenham, ON. Friendly, outgoing, generous and strong-willed, Catherine was a devout Catholic; a graduate of St. Vincent’s Girls’ High School and Modern Business College. Her first jobs were at the City of Saint John in the Taxation Dep’t. and secretary to the Chief of Police. Catherine was very well celebrated by the auditors at Revenue Canada when she retired after 13 years of service, and was fondly nicknamed ‘Boomer’. An avid bridge player, long serving church choir member and soloist, ardent supporter for the Liberal Party, and volunteer for many charities, especially those supporting children, Catherine always found time to help her coworkers, friends and neighbours. She kept very busy with cooking, baking, knitting, sewing, embroidery, needlepoint and social events. Her focus, however, was always on her 7 children and 11 grandchildren (Allan, Stephanie, Danielle, Jennifer, Shawn, Matthew, Michael, Christopher, Sara, Aaron and Max) whom she carefully nurtured and loved unconditionally. Catherine put her talents to work in all aspects of her life by: volunteering to coordinate the United Way campaign at the Income Tax; by being a member of the executive of Westvale Park housing association and by whipping up a birthday cake if she heard it was someone’s birthday. Swimming was a favourite pastime – in the ocean, in SJ Aquatic Centre, in the Kennebecasis and pools. She won medals at the Senior Olympics. Singing was important to Catherine her whole life, especially in church and at parties. She sang and danced in the Knights of Columbus operettas during the war. Catherine loved to travel using the airline passes from her son, David. She flew across Canada regularly to visit her family and she also traveled to Mexico and Japan. She enjoyed Caribbean cruises with her sister, Frances and winter days with her sister, Betty in Arizona and Florida. Catherine loved to socialize with her cherished friends at Chapel Grove in the summer and go on shopping trips to New York. She is survived by her children Shawn Hayes, Pakenham, ON; David (Alison) Sonora, Mexico; Tom, Victoria, BC; Cathy MacLaren (Sean) Calgary, AB; Paul (Lynne), Quispamsis, NB; and Greg, Victoria, BC; sister, Elizabeth Owens, Fredericton, NB and brother, James F. Owens, Saint John, NB,11 grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Catherine was predeceased by her son, Patrick; sisters Frances Flood, Kennebecasis Park and Patricia Coughlan, Edmonton; brothers William, Edward and George; sisters-in-law Margaret Owens, Jacqueline Owens, Joan Owens and Jean Owens; brothers-in-law George F. Flood and Hon John C. Coughlan.

MORPHY, Leone – In loving memory of our dear Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Nanny, Sister and Aunt, who passed away August 7, 2008. We do not need a special day, To bring you to our minds, The days we do not think of you, Are very hard to find. Each morning when we wake, We know that you are gone, And no one knows the heartache, As we try to carry on. Our hearts still ache with sadness, And secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. Our thoughts are always with you, Dear mother, your place no one can fill, In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still. Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all your family
