Supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County were on hand to enjoy a fun day of golf at Mapleview in Perth on Saturday, May 12.

It was another sold out event, with 144 golfers taking part, and enjoying the beautiful course while supporting a great local children's charity, raising $18,000.

This year's title sponsor, 3M Canada Perth, sent two teams to participate, as well as donated items for the very popular take home bags that each golfer gets.

"Mentoring programs cost money," says Jennifer Miller, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

"Having trained social service workers on staff to en-

sure volunteers are carefully screened is really important. Events like this one help us cover those costs."

There were 654 children who received service through the agency in 2017.

Each volunteer that offers to work with a child through our agency is carefully screened and evaluated for the safety of the children by a trained social worker.

Thorough background checks are conducted, along with interviewing and training. Children are also given safety training, and go through an interview process, along with their families, to ensure that each match is set up to be successful. Matches are then monitored closely to

ensure its success, and the safety and well being of the child.

National standards are followed throughout the process.

The agency does not receive sustainable government funding, so relies on events like this golf tournament to fund its programs.

More than 15 volunteers worked tirelessly to put on the event.

For more information about mentoring programs offered by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, contact their local office at 613-283-0570.

A special word of thanks is extended to all sponsors and supporters who made this event such a success.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Heading into the homestretch of the provincial election, Randy Hillier and Ramsey Hart continued their cross-constituency rumble in Perth on May 29.

During the Lanark District Labour Council's Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston all-candidates debate at the Perth Civitan Club hall on Tuesday, May 29, following questions at past debates about his previous work with MiningWatch Canada, Hart answered a question about mining by questioning a letter written by Hillier.

Hart, the New Democratic Party's candidate, claimed that MiningWatch had allied with Hillier, the Progressive Conservative Party candidate, and some of his colleagues on mining issues.

"That's not true," said Hillier, sitting beside him.

"Somehow, his (P.C.)

party labels me as an environmental extremist," said Hart, before charging that Hillier had signed a letter that he claimed supported "civil disobedience."

Later in the debate, Hillier responded, saying that he did indeed write a letter on behalf of Dr. Robert Lovelace, who was jailed for six months for contempt of court, for what Hillier called "civil, non-violent disobedience." Hillier and Lanark-FrontenacKingston MP Scott Reid sent a letter to a judge calling the six-month sentence "a disproportionate penalty for Dr. Lovelace to suffer," Hillier said.

Later on, during a question on collective bargaining rights, Hillier pointed out that he had "voted against my party on Bill 115," the Putting Students First Act of 2012, "when we took way bargaining from teachers."

He also reminded the audience that he had voted

against his own party a year later on a bill that would have allowed the Ellis-Don construction company to hire non-unionized workers, but not any other Ontario construction company.

"The legislature has no business" interfering in collective bargaining deals, said Hillier.

At this, Hart turned to Hillier and said, "Thank you Randy for your support of workers ... I'm impressed."

But he used the opportunity to underscore that "that's not the record of his (P.C.) party." Hart reminded voters that "you're not just voting for the candidate. You're voting for the party." As a New Democrat, his party "will always be standing by the workers."

In his closing statement, Hart returned to this theme, that Hillier had done "a great job representing his constitu-

ents," but repeated that "no matter how well he's represented you," he is still part of the Doug Ford campaign.

Moderator Herve Cavanagh read out the questions, which were written down by members of the audience, though he sometimes merged similar questions into one question as a matter of saving time.

Questions had to be respectful and addressed to all candidates present, which included Liberal Amanda Pulker-Mok and Anita Payne of the Green Party.

Not present but on the ballot for June 7 are Libertarian Steve Gebhardt and independent candidate John A. McEwen.

Minimum wage All candidates were asked about the second phase of the minimum wage hike on New Year's Day 2019.

"I do support a living

wage," said Pulker-Mok. "The economy has been growing ... but that success has not been felt by everyone."

She said it was wrong that people were working full-time hours and "still not able to make ends meet." Pulker-Mok said that, in her canvassing, she had met a single mother who "nearly started to cry," at the relief that a minimum wage hike would give her and her family.

Payne said that the minimum wage hike "does not guarantee that it is a living wage. It depends on where you live," in the province.

For example, a living wage in Guelph is $16.50, which is different from a living wage rate in other areas.

Hillier called Bill 148 "a fine example of a well-intentioned piece of legislation" that he claimed was followed by job losses in the weeks after the first rise, to $14 an hour, came into effect this past January.

"(More than) 80 per cent of people who earn a minimum wage are not the primary earners at home," said Hillier, saying they were mostly students who still lived at home, for example.

"Those people (working minimum wage jobs) need assistance and help. They do not need to lose their jobs or have their hours cut," which is why the Progressive Conservatives are going to remove the provincial income tax from lowincome earners.

As the executive director of The Table Community Food Centre in Perth, Hart said that one-third of the people who come through his door to access the food bank are the working poor, working full-time jobs and still not able to make ends meet.

"It has been difficult," Hart conceded, of the impact on business. "It has

been a shock to business."

However, he chalked this up to the Liberals trying to play catch-up. "(Those hikes) came all at once," said Hart.

Debate covered several topics from education funding to pharmacare

Red

The candidates were also asked about universal pharmacare and drug costs. Cavanagh, reading from a questioner's card, stated that Canada has the highest drug costs in the world after the United States and Switzerland.

Payne agreed that Ontario needs a pharmacare program.

"We are the only nation in the world with health care (and) without pharmacare," Payne said.

Hillier agreed with the ideas of the economies of scale that come with the bulk purchase of drugs, but "we have seen so much waste in government.

Waste has a cost ... (And) this idea that everything will be free just can't be. I will not support something that is not well thought out."

Hillier also called a pharmacare plan an "excess," but Hart disagreed with this assertion.

"It is not an excess," said Hart. "It is an investment.

It will save money" in health-care costs. "We are treating the symptoms of poor health and poverty."

Pulker-Mok stated that the Liberals would support universal pharmacare and had already expanded drugs coverage.

"They (the Liberals) got the ball rolling with OHIP Plus," she said, which sees adults aged 65 and older and children up to the age of 25, get their drugs covered.

"That's just the start," said Pulker-Mok. "It's important that people get the help they need."

Smart Metre rebates Some of the Smart Me-

tres installed by the provincial government actually ended up giving out inaccurate readings of energy consumption, and some customers were significantly overcharged. One questioner wondered if a rebate was in the offing.

"It's in the (NDP) plan to pay people back," said Hart, before adding that his party wanted to "bring Hydro One back under public ownership," though he cautioned that "it will take time."

When it comes to energy prices, "I am hearing about it at the door," said PulkerMok. She noted that the Liberals have introduced a program to help people save money on their hydro bills with a program targeted at helping farmers and rural customers even more.

As for the privatization of Hydro One, "we (the provincial government) are still the largest shareholder," with 47 per cent of the shares. "We still receive a dividend every year from Hydro One." Payne, later in the debate, stated that the Liberals "have no control. You need more than 50 per cent (of shares) to have control," or make any changes to the company board.

Hillier had been an opponent of Smart Metres, saying that millions had been wasted on installing metres "that would not, and could not, function in rural Ontario."

He sought an investigation in the billing errors of customers, and the auditor general reported that "he had never seen so many complaints" against a Crown corporation, particularly about Smart Metres.

Schools Candidates were also quizzed about the school funding formula, which Hillier said has not been reviewed since 1998.

Pulker-Mok agreed to

reviewing the formula, from both a parent's perspective (she has two young sons) and as a former teacher herself. She said she was opposed to the proposed closing of Pakenham Public School, which she said would mean that young families would be far less likely to move to the northern part of Mississippi Mills. The current formula "tends to favour urban schools and penalize rural schools," said PulkerMok. Payne said that the formula should be looked at every five years and to "make sure that your classrooms are where funding goes," she said. Payne, a former science teacher, said she wanted to eliminate standardized testing, "which is really a waste of time and resources."

Further to this, "we need to integrate the public and Catholic school boards."

Hillier agreed with the need for a review, adding that "all government programs (should be) under review," he said. He added that it had taken 20 years to consider reviewing the formula was "ridiculous."

Since the Liberals took office in 2003, Hillier charged that about 600 rural schools have closed across the province. Every riding in eastern Ontario lost schools - except the just-adjusted LanarkFrontenac-Lennox and Addington riding he used to represent as MPP. "No schools were closed" in his riding, he said.

Hart pointed out that two major teachers' unions had endorsed the NDP, and "it's quite shocking what has happened in our schools." Speaking to one teacher, she told Hart that "we haven't had anyone seriously injured in the class this year," he said.

"That's the bar of success."

Some stories are timeless, because they're founded on human truths that never change. They draw from the raw materials of our lives - love, family, longing, jealousy, fear of the future. And the older we get, the more we see ourselves in these wise, enduring narratives.

When the film On Golden Pond opened in theatres in 1981 - yes, 37 years ago - it struck a chord that still resonates across generations.

On June 28, our generation whether we're young, old, or somewhere in the middle - will once again be able to experience the heart and humour of On Golden Pond when the stage play opens at the Studio Theatre in Perth.

Author Ernest Thompson won well-deserved accolades (including the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay) for his story about Ethel and Norman Thayer, an aging couple who for decades have spent summers at their cottage on a northern lake called Golden Pond. As they arrive for this season, the cabin looks the same, everything in its place; even the honking of the loons is familiar and welcoming.

But Norman is changing: he's having trouble recognizing faces in family photos, and he's talking more frequently about death and growing old. The family is changing, too.

Norman and Ethel's daughter, Chelsea - who for decades has had a strained relationship with her domineering father (perhaps bearing the cross of not having been born a boy) - arrives at the cottage with her boyfriend, Bill, and his teenage son Billy. When Chelsea and Bill go off on a European vacation, leaving Billy Jr. with Ethel and Norman, a bond is created (at first reluctantly) as the generations begin to learn from each other. Ultimately, and ironically, the boy becomes a catalyst that helps to break the emotional stalemate between Norman and his daughter.

Director David Parry was anxious to bring this great story to the stage of the Studio Theatre.

"On Golden Pond is one of those shows that people know and love" he says. "It's about the trials and tribulations of aging, but it's also filled with humour, joy, and happy endings. We're

very fortunate to have a fine cast of actors to tell this poignant, beautifully nuanced story."

Veteran actor Rob Glas (Over the River and Through the Woods) plays Norman Thayer, and Janet Rice, well known to Ottawa and Perth audiences for her theatre and film work, plays his wife, Ethel. Dana Ruprecht, a trained actress and veteran of theatre groups in the Toronto area, plays Chelsea, while Rob Rainer, who was seen most recently in the Studio Theatre's production of 9 to 5, The Musical, is Chelsea's boyfriend, Bill. Charlie the mailman is played by popular actor Hugh McCulloch, and young Billy is played by talented 12-year-old actor Ben Sproule.

The set is designed by Reiner Silberhorn and Penny Silberhorn is stage manager.

As it happens, there is a wonderfully sentimental aspect to the timing of this show.

Ten years ago, director David Parry starred in the first production of a brand new theatre company that would become Studio Theatre Productions. The show was On Golden Pond, and the director

was none other than David's wife, Patricia. Today, as David and Patricia Parry prepare to retire after 40 years of community theatre in-

volvement - including a decade of deep commitment to the Studio Theatre - it is fitting that their final production is On Golden Pond, right here on their home stage.

On Golden Pond premières at the Studio Theatre on Thursday, June 28 for seven performances, June 28, 29, 30, and July 5, July 6 and July 7 at 7:30 p.m., and July 8 at 2 p.m. Note: There is no performance on July 1. Advance tickets are $24 at Tickets Please in the Matheson House Museum Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E.

Rush tickets for students with ID are just $10 at the door, subject to availability. Attend opening night and save $5!

We hope you'll come and spend a few hours On Golden Pond at the Studio Theatre, reliving this beloved classic. It is a family story that's worth keeping in your heart, this summer and well beyond. For full details, please visit studiotheatreperth.com.

These young women from North Grenville District High School were just two of approximately 150 young women who took part in the two-day experiential learning, Women in Trades event in Kemptville May 23-24.

UCDSB hosts successful Women in Trades days in Kemptville On May 23 and 24, the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) and community partners invited approximately 150 young women from nine high schools across the district to take part in Women in Trades days focused on horticultural trades.

Students learned about hardscaping, laying interlock, and plant identification. They also developed their planting skills and designed landscape for mock clients.

Student volunteers from Algonquin College's horticulture program were group and station leaders for this two-day experien-

tial learning event, giving high school students a chance to connect with their peers about the industry and post-secondary programs.

"I like to do a lot of hands-on stuff, like auto shop, so I wanted to come to check out and see what hands-on activities were here," said Megan Ciglich from South Grenville District High School.

"I can see a future for myself in this industry," added Angel Lemire, also from South Grenville.

The day was organized

olic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, and funded through the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program. The goal of Women in Trades days is to introduce young women to non-traditional career options.

"Students were really excited to learn. Some didn't even know that these things were career options," said Lori Carlisle, learning partner with Student Success at UCDSB. "It's really important for students to be exposed to as many career options as possible."

Mother. It didn't matter how many scarecrows she put in her vegetable garden, the crows seemed to take special delight in sitting on the outstretched arms made of a branch, while munching on her sprouting beans, tomatoes or anything else that was popping through the ground.

No one knew how he did it, but my brother Emerson managed to tame a crow, and he would stand out in the backyard with a few

It was the robins which gave me special delight.

Early in the summer, many would build nests in the assortment of trees that circled the house, and I would cautiously watch to see the blue eggs arrive, being careful not to go too close, because Father said that would make the robins abandon their nests, and the eggs wouldn't hatch.

I anxiously waited, standing well back until I saw the tiny birds, mouths wide open, and I felt it my duty to make sure any of our barn cats stayed well away from the trees where the nests were.

My youngest brother Earl knew the name of every bird, having brought a bird book home from the Renfrew library, but I could only name a few.

I had no desire to see the dreaded whip-poor-wills. I

was pretty sure they would be ugly, and jet black which is the colour I always associated with evil. And nothing could stamp out their mournful cries at night.

Even putting the pillow over my head, or trying to fall asleep with a finger in each ear didn't work.

The only comfort I got was when I could scrunch up as close as I could to Audrey's back, knowing she would protect me if one managed to get into the house, which my brother Emerson said was bound to

They were at it again. I hadn't heard them for months, but with the warm nights, the whip-poor-wills were back, sending chills up my spine, as their mournful cry pierced the night air, and echoed through our old log house.

The bedroom windows were wide open to let in as much cool air as possible, and that only heightened the noise they made.

My brother Emerson tried to raise my fear by telling me the birds were the messengers of ghosts of those relatives long passed away, but my sister Audrey said that was pure nonsense. "They're only birds," she said.

They were the only birds that frightened me, and goodness knows we had birds of every description on the farm. The small songbirds filled me with delight, and I often sat in the old wood swing and listened to them and watched them as they flitted about the grape arbour, many building nests to raise their young.

Some were what Father called "just a pain in the neck." He was referring to the hundreds of pigeons that took refuge in our barns, or sat on the peak roof.

"No good for nothing," he would say, sometimes even resorting to taking the shotgun trying to cut down their numbers, or at least scare them away. But it mattered not ... back the pigeons would come.

And were they messy!

Dad was sure they were going to ruin the barn roof, but even the livestock in or outside couldn't stop the hoards of pigeons that formed a long line on the very top edge of our barn.

Crows were another concern, especially for

grains of corn in his outstretched hand, and that crow would land on his arm, and peck away. I thought the crow was just about the ugliest bird on the farm.

It was never proven, although my sister Audrey said she wouldn't put it past him, but we think it was Emerson who taught that crow how to pull the clothes pins off the clothesline just after Mother had hung out the wash. Often it was my job to stand watch, waving the broom whenever I saw the bird circling the clothesline awaiting his chance.

Of course, I couldn't stand there forever, and as soon as my back was turned, there would be an assortment of Mother's clean wash on the ground.

Father put a stop to that with the shotgun.

Get out and ride Cycling is a fun and healthy activity. Not only is it a low-cost way to get around, it's also good for the environment.

May 28 to June 30 is Bike Month across Ontario and locally, many municipalities are getting in on activities, including the County of Lanark. This year, the county has partnered with its member municipalities to support events across the region, including bike rodeos, the recent Bike to Work Day held on May 28, as well as declaring Bike Month at county council on May 23.

The county is supporting this through a successful $7,500 grant through the Ontario Commuter Cycling Program.

Lanark and Renfrew counties, along with Mississippi Mills Bike Month and the Ottawa Valley Cycling and Active Transportation Alliance (OVCATA), are encouraging more people to get out walking and cycling with the Silver Chain Challenge. It started six years ago as a friendly competition between the two counties. The OVCATA bills itself a voice for cyclists and all active transportation enthusiasts in the Ottawa Valley, advocating for safety and good conditions, bringing people together and encouraging participation.

Participants compete online to see which county can log the most kilometres biked or walked over the month of June. Individuals can register and record their daily activity online and the distances get totalled, with adjustment in recognition of population size. From June 1-30, residents can submit their kilometres at www.silverchainchallenge.ca.

There are ways you can make the roads safer when it comes to cycling.

Before you head out on a bike, it's vital to learn the rules of the road, helmet information and safety tips for cyclists of all ages.

As a cyclist, you must share the road with others cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles. Under Ontario's Highway Traffic Act, a bicycle is a vehicle, just like a car or truck.

To view the Ontario Guide to Safe Cycling, you can visit the Ontario Ministry of Transportation's website.

The OPP recently issued reminder about some changes in the law when it comes to cycling.

The one-metre passing law means drivers must leave a minimum of one-metre distance when passing a cyclist. The penalty if convicted is a fine of $110.

When it comes to dooring, the penalty for improper opening of a vehicle door (for driver or passenger), if convicted, is $365.

Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, cyclists, motorists and pedestrians have equal rights and access to our roadways, say the OPP. All users have to share the road; share the respect.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Reader thanks paper for keeping voters informed DEAR EDITOR: Full marks to your paper for the provincial election coverage.

Thank you so much for providing profiles of the candidates in my riding, and for the excellent editorial ("Your vote matters"), both in the May 31 edition.

The voter turnout numbers you cited in the editorial for the 2011 and 2014 provincial elections were distressing, to say the least, and I thank you for doing your part in helping voters to stay informed, and for encouraging readers to exercise a right that many people in the world

would dearly love to have. It is a right that, in my view, far too many citizens take for granted.

lot of concerns raised over the new format for the Regional Roundup.

We do not like it. The consensus was that we all enjoyed the old format. Several of the complaints were that Wednesday was not included in the list and activities are listed by date, rather than location.

There just does not seem to be the coverage of events that used to be in the old format. We, as seniors, looked forward to receiving the Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette, weekly, and a lot of us would plan our outings for the next week based on the roundup.

Triumph means team now advances to world's most popular soccer league, Jeff Maguire writes

JEFF MAGUIRE Column

The European football (soccer) season came to a resounding conclusion on Saturday, May 26 with Spanish giants Real Madrid capturing their third consecutive Champions League trophy.

Real downed English Premier League (EPL) side Liverpool 3-1 in Kiev, Ukraine.

While the Champions League showdown in Ukraine captured most of the world soccer media's attention, just a few hours

earlier a team from London, England scored the biggest single pay day in European (and perhaps world) soccer. Fulham Football Club, based in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in west London earned a hard fought 1-0 win over Aston Villa of Birmingham in the English Championship (Second Division) playoff final.

The contest was played before more than 85,000 fans at Wembley, England's impressive national football

palace in northwest London.

Fulham's triumph means they now advance to play in the EPL, the world's most popular soccer league, when the next campaign opens in mid-August. Because of English soccer's promotion and relegation system Fulham fell out of the top division four seasons ago and for two campaigns they toiled in relative anonymity in the country's second tier of football.

Last spring Fulham surged into the four team promotion playoff pool but fell at the semi-final hurdle. This season they suffered through a rather indifferent start, which saw them sitting in the middle of the standings at the halfway point. However in the second half they put together an amazing 23-game

guaranteed themselves at least £160 million (approximately $254m CDN.) in additional revenue, just for being part of the EPL with its giant television deals and marketing programs.

So a massive pay day and if they can avoid relegation next season they stand to collect a further £280m (some $445m CDN.) in additional revenue.

I have a major personal interest in Fulham FC. My son Craig and I have attended one of their home games at Craven Cottage in each of the past two seasons. In September 2016 we saw them lose 1-0 to visiting Birmingham City. But last September we were fortunate to watch Fulham defeat Hull City by a 2-1 score.

We are Arsenal fans at heart. However, you have to know someone in order to get a ticket to one of their

games at Emirates Stadium in north London.

Therefore we turned to the Championship and Fulham FC. Now that they're back in the top-flight in soccer mad England Craig and I could end up regretting cheering Fulham back to prominence. Because obtaining a ticket to a home game next season will be difficult and more expensive too.

For us it would be wonderful to attend a FulhamArsenal match-up at either historic Craven Cottage or the Emirates Stadium.

Dare to dream!

undefeated streak including 20 wins, the best performance by any side in English professional football this year.

Alas they dropped their final game of the campaign. A win would have meant a confirmed berth in the country's lucrative top division. That meant they had to try and navigate the tricky playoff route to the top.

In the semi-finals they defeated Derby County 2-1 on aggregate in a "two-leg" (home and away) showdown. That set up the one game Wembley shootout on May 26 versus fourth place Aston Villa.

It was a thriller! Fulham's 18-year-old sensation Ryan Sessegnon set up teammate Tom Cairney for the game's only goal midway through the first half.

10 PETS

Twilight

Ulyss

Hemmi

If you're looking to adopt one or two kittens then please visit us in Perth at Pet Valu June 8, 9 and 10. We'll be holding an adoption weekend and we'll have many kittens and cats in the store available for adoption. Keep an eye on our Facebook pages where we shall post pictures of the actual cats coming to the store.

New board members wanted LAWS is accepting applications for new members for the board of directors. If you have a strong business and financial background and would love to help out your local animal shelter, please send your resumĂŠ to president@lanarkanimals.ca.

This week's featured pets Hemmi Hi, my name is Hemmi and I came to

LAWS as a rough and tumble tom cat.

However, over the last few months I have mellowed. I am now one cool dude. I love to be petted and actively ask for attention.

Unfortunately I tested positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus). Because of that it would be best that I am the only cat in the household and I must be kept indoors all the time. I can live a quality life, but may not live as long as a healthy cat. Please come and meet me at LAWS, I am looking forward to meeting you.

Ulyss Meet Ulyss who, when he arrived at LAWS, was not overly friendly. It's for understandable reasons as all of a sudden he felt trapped and he was in an unfamiliar location. After he was neutered, he was

moved into an area to play with other cats.

That's where the transformation started.

Ulyss is becoming more friendly, doesn't hide all the time anymore and it actively seeking attention. We are confident that with the right owner he will continue to feel more at ease and will make a good pet. Please meet this handsome boy at LAWS. Tuffy Meet Tuffy who suits his name very well. Tuffy was brought in by animal control as a stray cat. This tough guy is friendly and enjoys being petted on his own terms. He is getting used to living the good life with regular meals and attention.

Hopefully he'll be adopted into a welcoming home really soon.

Twilight Meet Twilight with her beautiful large eyes. She's a young and friendly female tabby girl who delivered five beautiful kittens in March. Twilight loves a snack of wet food every day. Her babies all went to forever homes and Twilight thinks it's her turn to be chosen next. Please meet her at LAWS. Thank you for your continued support.

Follow us if you like at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or check out our website at lanarkanimals.ca.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613-283-9308.

LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

is that it's a three-act play with a script that's more than 110 pages long. That was all well and good in Victorian times, but today's audiences want something snappier. BarnDoor Productions (BDP) new two-act version has trimmed the show by some 45 pages - and down to a fast hourand-a-half of running time (plus an intermission). It's still got all of the fun that has kept Charley's Aunt on the stage for more than 120 years, but now it comes at you even faster - and maybe funnier.

BDP's cast of ten includes familiar faces and newcomers. David Bird and Greg Morris are two older suitors for the hand of Charley's aunt; Shiraz Ings returns to the stage as Donna Lucia, the real Charley's aunt, and Slade Stoodley is lovelorn Charley.

New faces abound: Josh Burley leaps into the role of Jack, in whose Oxford University rooms it all takes place; Jerry Logan, a familiar face from other area stages, is Brassett, the required wisecracking butler; Grace Poltrack and Abigail Gagnon are Amy and Kitty, the light of Charley and Jack's love; and Kaija Evangelho is a lost waif who finds her love - after a while.

At the centre of it all is Tyler Street, who has practically grown up on the Barndoor Productions stage. After great comic turns in Cinderella and Panto Can Be Murder this season, he's

back as Lord Fancourt Babberly, Fanny Babbs to his friends, Charley's aunt to everyone else.

Whether flinging himself in and out of doorways or being flung in and out of doorways, the comedy is both physical and verbal.

Charley's Aunt runs June 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 at 8 p.m.; June 10, 17 and 24 at 2 p.m. The extended run of the show is the kickoff to BarnDoor's summer season (their 23rd season, by the way, and their 121st production). In July, Full Circle Theatre will host a limited run of Getting To Room Temperature, a one-man show featuring Robert Bockstael, well-known from CBC's North of 60 and Wind At My Back series.

Following that, in August, BarnDoor features a new play about the life of William Shakespeare. Willm Shaksper (no, that's not a typo) is a funny, dramatic, exciting discovery of who, what and why the Bard of Avon was.

Tickets to Charley's Aunt are $20 reserved; $22 at the door; $10 for students. To reserve, simply call 613-267-1884. No credit cards are required; cash at the performance is requested. Go to www.barndoorproductions.ca for more details or online reservations.

Tea will be available at the intermission.

Lanark County to host only rural spoken word slam poetry series companiment, or animals are not permitted as part of the performance. Otherwise, anything goes!

Performances may be poetry, rap, song, comedy, anything really that uses the verbal arts and connects with the audience.

Pieces can offer a range of experience and emotions from uplifting to heart-wrenching, be hilarious or sombre, or present brutally honest to sardonically tongue-in-cheek social commentary.

Most slams start with an open microphone session for those who wish to share their work but not compete, and the competition rules are not in place for these performances.

Judging of the performances

adds lighthearted excitement and turns the audience into active participants. Judges are usually selected from among audience members. Audience members are encouraged to express their opinions of the scores with boos or cheers, because it's all about supporting the performance.

Each slam series hosts multiple regular season events, and then a finals competition that selects a team to represent that series at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word (CFSW). The CFSW is a five-day national festival which is hosted in a different city each year. The national festival also allows for team perforl See JUNE, page 18

Notice to Residents and Property Owners Regarding Noxious Weeds The main purpose of the Weed Control Act R.S.O. 1990, is to reduce the impact of noxious weeds on the industries of agriculture and horticulture.

Under the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter W.5 Sections 3, 13, 16 and 23, you are requested to destroy all noxious weeds and weed seeds on your property.

In Urban Areas, Sections 3, 13, 16 and 18 do not apply to noxious weeds or weed seeds that are far enough away from any land used for agriculture or horticultural purposes, as they do not interfere with that use.

All properties within the County of Lanark are hereby requested to be in compliance with the Weed Control Act by the 15th day of June, 2018, and throughout the season. After June 15th, 2018, the County of Lanark Weed Inspector may enter upon the said lands and may cause any noxious weeds discovered to be destroyed, charging the cost against the land, as set out in the Act. Inquiries relating to Weed Control, within Lanark County, should be directed to the Lanark County Public Works Department, phone: 613-267-1353, toll free: 1-888-952-6275 or email: roads@lanarkcounty.ca The Act applies only to designated noxious weeds and cannot be used to control property standards or appearances.

June will mark the 11th anniversary of the Lanark County Live Poets Society, or LiPS. It was founded in 2008 by Danielle K.L. Gregoire, with the help of her friends from Ottawa's Capital Slam scene. Later that year the first team from Lanark County participated in the national slam competitions at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word.

A slam is a spoken word competition, a performance art with roots in the oral traditions and vocal arts. Individual performers must compete in two rounds, with original work that must not exceed three minutes in length, with a 10-second grace period before point penalties are imposed.

The girls (Grace Poltrack, left, and Kaija Evangelho, right) are delighted to meet Charley's aunt (Tyler Street, centre), although Charley and Jack (Slade Stoodley, left, and Josh Burley, right) are less than thrilled with the reception. Charley's Aunt is the longest-running farce in London history and it's coming to Perth's Full Circle Theatre June 8 through 24.

Mr. Charles Wykeham and Mr. Jack Chesney (Bart) extend their invitation to you to come to Full Circle Theatre this month to meet Charley's aunt. The dear old lady will be in residence from June 8 to 24 with 11 opportunities to have fun and laughs along with her.

Charley's Aunt is BarnDoor Productions' new two-act adaptation of Brandon Thomas' classic farce, a show so enormously popular that it's believed never to have been off the stage since its debut in 1892. Somewhere in the world, every day since then, someone has been performing Charley's Aunt.

Charley's Aunt is relentless fun: chases, pratfalls, jokes, mistaken identity and everything else that makes farce the predictably unpredictable fun that it is.

Charley and his friend Jack want to invite their girls to tea (oh, it's very English!) in order to propose to them, but the ladies won't come without a chaperone (oh, it's very proper!).

That's solved when Charley's aunt ("from Brazil, where the nuts come from") announces a visit - but when the old lady (well, we think she is) telegrams a last-minute change, the lads recruit their chum, Lord Fancourt Babberly, to play her. And play her Fanny Babbs does - in riproaring fashion.

$51,500 OTF seed grant lets nature's voices be heard On Saturday, May 26, members of the general public were invited to visit the High Lonesome Nature Reserve in Pakenham where the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust demonstrated how sound recording was tested for its ability to improve the management of wilderness properties.

The chair of the Ontario Trillium Foundation local grant review team, Louise Heslop, and local politicians were on hand to congratulate the team on this new application of bioacoustic monitoring.

Under the one-year project, MMLT, with the support of citizen scientists, has developed and fieldtested best practices for

acoustic data collection, analysis and interpretation.

"The Ontario Trillium Foundation grant has made it possible to develop this cost-effective tool to help the land trust community take better care of this important community asset by listening to it," explained MMLT president Howard Clifford. "By following the protocols established in the pilot project through coming years, MMLT will be able to gain a deeper understanding of habitat diversity and changes over time, including early warning of changes in ecological integrity."

Local experienced naturalists supporting this project are challenging the

OPINION

'Deadpool 2' definitely not for everyone, columnist Mark Haskins writes MOVIE: Deadpool 2 Starring Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Zazie Beetz, T.J. Miller, Julian Dennison and Josh Brolin.

Directed by David Leitch Rated 18A Ryan Reynolds brings us such exquisite dark comedy and violence. You laugh. You feel guilty because of what you're laughing at. Yet you keep laughing. Deadpool 2 is at least

MARK HASKINS Column seven different kinds of wrong, and all of them are funny.

We find the merc with a mouth living the dream.

Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) has been taking out bad guys. He has a beautiful girlfriend. They're even thinking about starting a family together. Then the unthinkable happens. Vanessa (Mo-

rena Baccarin) is killed.

It sends Deadpool into a suicidal tailspin, but he can't die. Colossus (Stefan Kapicic) tries to pull his friend out of his depression by making him an X-men in training, but it doesn't go well. On their first mission Deadpool tries to help a mutant orphan named Russell (Julian Dennison).

Then Deadpool learns Russell has been abused by the people running the orphanage and the killing begins. He gets himself, and Russell, sent to a maximum-security prison for mutants.

It's about then Nathan Summers, a.k.a. Cable (Josh Brolin), shows up.

He's a powerful mutant

from the future, and he's come to kill Russell. Deadpool barely manages to keep Cable from killing Russell. Their fight takes them both out of the prison, but leaves Russell still inside.

If he's going to save Russell, and stop Cable, Deadpool is going to need a team.

With the help of Weasel (T.J. Miller) they put together a team of hard-core mutants.

There's Shatterstar, Bedlam, The Vanisher, Zeitgeist, Peter, but the only one that matters is Domino (Zazie Beetz). They'll stop Cable or die trying.

The first one is always special. I mean you never forget your first 18A superhero movie. Which makes

it hard to say Deadpool 2 is better than the first. It's hard to say, but I'm still going to do it. It has the incredible cinematic fight scenes. It has the jaw-dropping 'I can't believe he said that' humour. It has all those glorious Easter eggs, and asides to the audience.

It has it all and more. It is bigger, better and seven kinds of awesome.

I love this cast. TJ Miller, Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapicic, Karan Soni and Leslie Uggins are perfect. You have quite a few new cast members for the sequel, most of whom don't last long, but Julian Dennison is great as an angry teenager, and Zazie Beetz

nails that Domino swagger.

Then you have Josh Brolin who broods with the best of them. He is dark, serious, and the ideal Cable.

Ryan Reynolds was born to play this part.

Though I suppose it's possible Deadpool was created for Ryan Reynolds. Either way it doesn't matter. This is the most perfect union between character and actor I've ever seen, and maybe will ever see.

I can't stress this enough. Deadpool 2 is highly inappropriate on a number of levels, and probably not for everyone. I loved it.

mances, that is, more than one person performing a single piece, which really boosts the performance aspects.

At CFSW 2008 in Calgary, LiPS competed as the first team ever to represent a rural area. It was one of eight teams from across the country to compete that year. In subsequent years, LiPS has sent teams to CFSW in Victoria, Ottawa, Toronto, Saskatoon,

and Montreal. Most recently, LiPS sent a team to Peterborough for CFSW 2017, which has grown to 24 or more teams from across Canada. Lanark County is still the only rural series representing at the national level.

LiPS took a break from the slam series for a year, and in 2016 the series was revived, with a new emphasis on the open microphone aspect. Events are usually held at Coutts Coffee Roastery and Café on

June will also mark the ninth LiPS Finals slam, to select the team representing Lanark County at CFSW 2018 in Guelph this fall. Finals will be hosted by the former Capital Slam's slam master Rusty Priske, a prolific and published artist who will perform some of his work.

The event will be held on Saturday, June 16, at

In keeping with the inclusive nature of S.L.a.M., these finals will also feature performers who may choose to not be judged.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you feel especially creative this week and want to focus on the future. You may have concrete ideas, but don’t know just how to put those plans into action. Seek assistance.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, learning to detach from thoughts and feelings can help you learn which ideas are important and which ones are extraneous. This can help you reduce stress.

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!

POLICE & FIRE

Smiths Falls' acting fire chief says recent fires underscore importance of safe cigarette disposal Smoking is the No. 1 cause of fatal home fires, according to the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com The message from Smiths Falls' acting fire chief, Randy Normandin, after three fires in a twoweek period all appear to

be smoking-related: "People need to be more cautious."

In May, two fires in town were determined to be accidental due to careless smoking.

One fire, which broke

out in the early morning hours of May 7 at 80-82 Victoria Ave., resulted in the death of Doug Buffam, 53.

The Office of the Fire Marshal determined after a two-day investigation that the fire was deemed "accidental due to careless smoking."

THE TOWN OF SMITHS FALLS

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE TOWN OF SMITHS FALLS Schedule ‘B’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

POTABLE WATER STORAGE

The Town of Smiths Falls (the Town) is undertaking a planning process to assess alternative potable water storage solutions for the Town. While the Town’s potable water supply system has been operating in accordance with all applicable legislation and is achieving all required water quality standards, the Town does not currently meet potable water storage requirements as defined by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change. Notwithstanding this, the Town’s current elevated potable water storage tank, at 90 years old, is in need of refurbishment or replacement and therefore the Town is in need of a solution that will address water storage constraints now and for the next 20 years and beyond.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Public consultation is a key component to this Study. The proposed consultation plan provides for a single Public Meeting to review the future servicing alternatives that are being considered as part of this project. This Public Information Centre will identify existing system constraints and potential alternative solutions. The ‘preferred alternative’ currently being considered envisions decommissioning the existing potable water storage tank and constructing a new elevated storage tank near the northeastern extents of Smiths Falls, ON, located at Air Care Drive.

The Public Information Centre is scheduled as follows: Date: Time: Location: Address:

Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Open House from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Smiths Falls Curling Club 13 Old Slys Road, Smiths Falls, ON

when the fire broke out.

Williams said the victim made an attempt to escape the apartment, but was unsuccessful.

Buffam was pronounced dead after being transported to hospital.

An investigation into another fire, which broke out on Aberdeen Avenue on May 2, was also ruled to be accidental due to careless smoking by the Smiths Falls Fire Department. In that case, Normandin had reported on the scene that the fire appeared to have started on the back deck and migrated up into the attic area in the back of the home.

Though the investigation into a third structure fire in May on Main Street East was ruled "undermined" after an investigation by the Smiths Falls Fire Department, Normandin said the fire department suspects smoking may have been a factor which led to the blaze that ripped through the roof of a two-storey brick home on May 14.

Normandin said these three fires, which all happened in a two-week span during the month of May, underscore the importance of safe cigarette disposal.

"People aren't realizing what they're doing," he said.

"It (a cigarette) is a source of heat and energy.

Over time, that heath and energy could cause a fire.

And, we've seen it."

Normandin said when people throw cigarette butts on the ground, or smoke indoors without safely disposing of their smoking materials, they don't realize that it could start a fire.

According to the Office of the Fire Marshal, smoking is the No. 1 cause of fatal home fires. Sixty-five per cent of smoking fires are caused by improper disposal of smoking materials.

Smoking fires account for eight per cent of all home fires.

Normandin said in the last number of years he's noticed an uptick in the

number of fires ruled accidental caused by smoking.

He hopes that by educating the public, future fires can be avoided.

The recent fires caused over $200,000 in damages and cost one person their life.

"We don't want to see another tragic event like that in Smiths Falls again," he said.

HOW DO I PREVENT A SMOKING FIRE? • Encourage smokers to smoke outside; • don't extinguish cigarettes in plant pots, which may contain a mixture of peat moss, shredded wood and bark that can easily ignite; • never smoke in bed; use large, deep ashtrays that cannot be knocked over; empty ashes into a metal container - not the garbage can - and put it outside; and • if people have been smoking in your home, check behind chair and sofa cushions for cigarette butts before going to bed.

NEWS

New legion president wants to continue exemplary service EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com There's a newly-minted president at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 in Smiths Falls.

Jim Jenkins officially assumed his duties on Friday, June 1. Jenkins, who was the 1st vicepresident of the legion for the past two years, took over the role as president from Wayne Foster.

Jenkins said that in his role as president he wants to continue the legion's already exemplary service to veterans, as well as increase the membership base.

Jenkins has been a legion member at various branches for over 30 years. In Smiths Falls, he has served for four years as the veterans' service officer and has been a co-chair of the project to obtain a full-sized demilitarized replica LAV III - a light armoured vehicle used by the Canadian military. The LAV III will be placed in town as a memorial to Afghanistan veterans. As part of the project, $30,000 was raised.

As a veteran himself, Jenkins knows what other veterans need.

Jenkins joined the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in Au-

gust 1958, and following basic training was transferred to RCAF in Summerside, P.E.I., in October 1959. He was subsequently transferred to 3 (F) Wing, Zweibrucken, Germany, and was then transferred to 4 (F) Wing Baden, Germany, 1970. Jenkins spent time in Nova Scotia, Ottawa, and spent two years at sea on the HMCS Nipigon. He served in a United Nations mission in Egypt for six months in 1975. He retired in October 1985.

"I'm proud of every day I served," said Jenkins. "I've loved every day in and every day out."

His love for helping veterans is obvious. And, Jenkins said, the Smiths Falls branch is probably one of the best run veteran service groups in eastern Ontario.

The legion works to help veterans and their families access services they're entitled to. The legion helps ensure veterans, members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, spouses and dependents receive the full benefit of programs and services delivered through Veterans Affairs Canada.

Jenkins reported that the legion has probably helped with

Evelyn Harford/Metroland

The newly minted president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95, Jim Jenkins, officially assumed his duties on Friday, June 1, 2018. Jenkins, who was the 1st vice president of the legion over the past two years, took over the role as president from Wayne Foster. about 100 claims for veterans - including 23 for widows - who weren't receiving benefits.

"Veterans are our reason to ex-

it," he said.

Currently, the legion has 275 members. At its peak in the 1970s, there were more than 700 mem-

bers. Since Jenkins has been at the Smiths Falls legion, he's seen the numbers drop by more than 100. Each year, the legion is losing 10 to 15 Second World War veterans. Jenkins said there are only eight Second World War veterans left.

Jenkins reminded people that it's not only veterans who can join the legion, associate and affiliate members are also welcome.

Now, the number of associate members, members who are related to veterans but not veterans themselves, outnumber legion members who're veterans.

Not only does the legion assist veterans and their families, they also work to fundraise community organizations and organize events to benefit the people of Smiths Falls and area.

People are encouraged to come out and support the legion's fundraising efforts. The weekly draw, Catch the Ace, is on at the local legion where the majority of funds are being donated to various causes benefiting youth in the community.

The Rideau Lakes Artists' Association switched things up last summer when we introduced our new summer show, Paint the Summer, at Algonquin College in Perth, 7 Craig St. on July 14.

Our combined effort to launch a show in a new

venue was a great success.

The college was perfect for viewing our wonderful original paintings in oil, acrylic, watercolour and batik for which our association is well known and being inside was like being in a gallery, no weather concern and lots of room to

move around and relax.

We will again host the Paint the Summer show this summer, and co-ordinate it with the Town of Perth's ever popular Stewart Park Music Festival.

Our popular tradition of "People's Choice" returns and will have a music

theme for your enjoyment.

You will be able to see wonderful original paintings in oil, acrylic, watercolour, batik, among others, together with many other art forms including needle felting, pottery, sculpture and alcohol inks, and then stroll over (or take the shut-

Rideau Lakes Horticulture Society celebrates Garden Ontario Week

The Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society is celebrating GardenOntario Week with a free public screening of a documentary about Frank Cabot, a self-taught horticulturalist, who created Les Jardins de Quatre-Vents, a 20acre summer estate, nestled among the rolling hills of Quebec's Charlevoix region.

This award-winning film, titled The Gardener, is a reflection on the meaning of gardening and its impact on our lives.

Shortly before his passing at the age of 86, Mr. Cabot recounts his personal quest for perfection at Quatre-Vents, which has become one of the world's foremost private gardens.

Created over three generations, it is an enchanting place of beauty and surprise, a horticultural masterpiece of the 21st century.

Through the words of Cabot and his family, and with the participation of gardening experts and writers, the film looks back at this remarkable man's personal story and the artistic philosophy that gave birth to Les Jardins de Quatre-Vents, or The Gardens of the Four Winds.

An investment banker by trade, Cabot turned his attention late in life to gardening and garden preservation, serving for a time as chair of the New York Botanical Garden, and as an adviser to the Brooklyn

Botanic Garden and the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington. He also established the American nonprofit Garden Conservancy, dedicated to preserving exceptional gardens and landscapes.

Quatre-Vents took shape toward the end of Cabot's life. The estate contains about 25 different gardens, including Japanese, rose, white, rock, sculpture, shade, and kitchen.

There are exotic and rare Asian plants, reflecting pools and waterfalls, carefully chosen and placed statuary, and the St. Lawrence River itself, views of which play their own role in Cabot's designs.

The free screening takes place Wednesday, June 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Rideau Lakes Public Library, Elgin Branch (26 Halladay St.).

You can view a trailer of the film at thegardenermovie.com/trailer/.

GardenOntario Week, June 9 to 17, is for everyone.

Events take place all week long.

Whether you are a family, a seasoned pro, a green thumb, or someone interested in connecting with the land, this is the week to learn and get hands-on experience. You can find ideas for what to do during the week at the Ontario Horticultural Association website: gardenontarioweek.org/.

Brooke Henderson's grandfather, Bob Moir, passes away

RETIREES EA EAGER† TO TRY NEW HEARING AID 2.5cm

LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Try For Yourself a Hearing Aid That Truly Enhances the Modern Retiree Lifestyle.

At last. A smart, stylish hearing aid that provides maximum benefit to those with hearing loss.

The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments.‡

Can you see it?

State-of-the-art dynamic features improve speech understanding significantly, provide better noise management and focus on accurate amplification in any environment.

It's with heavy hearts that the family of Robert (Bob) Moir announce his passing at the Ottawa General Hospital on Friday, June 1.

Moir was the beloved grandfather of Brooke and Brittany Henderson. He was their mother Darlene's dad. Moir died after a brief hard-fought battle with cancer. He was 81. He was the husband of Marlene (Burchill) and father of Kenneth (who predeceased hi in 2009), and Darlene (David) Henderson.

In his obituary, it states that Bob was proud and truly blessed of his granddaughters, Brooke and Brittany, "who brought so much joy to his life."

Bob is survived by his sister Elinor (Jim) Commodore. He was the brotherin-law of Harvena Underhill and Sharon and Ron Hughes, and will be remembered by Jenn Banks.

Brittany and Brooke Henderson flew home abruptly after the first round of the US Women's Open on Friday.

The girls stated: "The bond that we shared with our Gramps was truly spe-

cial. Between the golf courses, hockey rinks, our love of nature, just hanging out at home or our texts from afar, we shared so many great laughs, smiles and memories that will be deep in our hearts forever.

We will miss him very much as he will also be missed by so many friends and family. Peace and happiness is found knowing he is welcomed Home by Our Father through the gates of heaven where Uncle Kenny will greet him with a big hug. You are forever loved."

Arrangements were entrusted to the Lannin Funeral Home in Smiths Falls.

unteer efforts that have a positive effect on his or her fellow citizens and community.

Coldrey fits the bill.

Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow described Coldrey as a compassionate and considerate personal, with a warm and friendly personality and a strong creative spirit.

"Jackie Coldrey is much more than a volunteer - she's a take charge kind of person that's always ready to take on a challenge," he said. "With her infectious smile and friendly manner, Jackie's become an integral part to so many organizations and works tirelessly to improve the lives of so many people in our community."

Originally from Dublin, Ireland, Coldrey's family immigrated to Canada in 1954. She lived in Ottawa until getting married in 1971. She and her husband, Rick

Coldrey, moved to Fort Churchill, Man., for a while before finally settling down in the Heart of the Rideau, where she and her husband raised three children.

Coldrey has spent much of her life dedicating her life to service, working in many executive roles with various charities and groups. Quite commonly, Coldrey finds herself managing the money of a number of organizations as treasurer.

Pankow said Coldrey has "made volunteering a way of life" and has contributed a great deal to many cultural and practical aspects of life in our town. Her involvement is quite varied and spans many years.

Despite her long-standing commitment to volunteerism in Smiths Falls, the award came as a shock.

"It's totally unexpected because there's many of you out there who do so much good for everyone in this community," said

Coldrey. "And, for me, it's an absolute joy to do the things I do and to meet all the people I meet. I think I gain more than I give."

Coldrey has served with the Smiths Falls & District Crime Stoppers for nearly two decades, working as director and treasurer, and has faithfully attended the yearly Crime Stoppers conference no matter where in Ontario that may take her.

Coldrey has served as a member of the Rideau Lakes Artists' Association for the past 12 years including the offices of treasurer, newsletter editor and show organizer.

Though Coldrey has always had a love for art, and anything creative, her quest to study art began in 1981 when she joined the now defunct, Smiths Falls Art Club, before she headed in a dif-

ferent direction in life. In 2006, Jackie rediscovered her love for art when she became a member of the Rideau Lakes Artists' Association. Since then, she's participated in many area art shows, including those in Westport, Perth, Lombardy and Smiths Falls. Coldrey has works of art in private collections in Canada, Great Britain, Australia and the United States.

Over the past 10 years, Coldrey has been very active in the Friends of the Smiths Falls Library as secretary and newsletter editor for the past seven years; she also assists with the organization's popular trivia challenges. Coldrey has served as a member of the Norm Johnston Youth Services, an organization that helps homeless young people opportunities to get themselves

into a safe settled living conditions, over the past 12 years, serving as treasurer over the past nine years.

Coldrey was very active in the annual Art Journey Show and also volunteers for the Smiths Falls Lions Club.

Coldrey has been a member of the Smiths Falls & District Arts and Culture Council for the past five years and served as treasurer and chair with the membership committee for the past four years.

Coldrey also worked on the art fair organizing committee and the Canada 150 tourism committee. And after her win, Coldrey shows no sign of slowing down.

"I'm going to just carry on with what I do now," she said.

"They pretty much have the whole thing under control. We all have jobs to do," she said, between dousing participants at the last col-

Soren Moreau is part of the Difference Club. Donning his yellow paint-

splattered clothing, he said the colour run is held in support of mental well being. "It's just for fun," he said.

There is no cost to the

event, and any money raised through donations goes back into the community to support other mental health initiatives.

"We had a really good mix again this year, but our numbers are up, which is great."

LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com The ever-popular Perth Triathlon took a new twist this year with a group of Smiths Falls men taking part in the Earl Challenge.

Greg Earl, owner of Sport X in Smiths Falls decided he wanted to create the new event as it was something different.

"It's a little more of a challenge," he said about the triple tri - a double race, then a single right on its heels. Just three men participated in this one.

"We wanted to try something new," he added.

The Perth Tri is a 500metre swim, followed by a 16-kilometre bike ride, then a three-kilometre run. Of course, Earl and his cohorts, Keon Moore and Mike Matthews, did a 1,000metre swim, 32-kilometre bike race, and a six-kilometre run. Then they followed that up with the single triathlon after catching a breath outside the pool.

Bob was a true sportsman who loved the outdoors and had a deep understanding, respect and appreciation for the balance of nature. He was a skilled craftsman who loved to create - always busy. His charisma and candidness made him a valued friend and confidant. He always had a joke and a smile to brighten your day and lighten your heart. He lived his life with passion and compassion, executing strong values in all he did and believed. His family was always his number one priority. We always felt so loved, safe and respected.

A Message from Brit & Brooke The bond that we shared with our Gramps was truly special. Between the golf courses, hockey rinks, our love of nature, just hanging out at home or our texts from afar, we shared so many great laughs, smiles and memories that will be deep in our hearts forever. We will miss him very much as he will also be missed by so many friends and family. Peace and happiness is found knowing he is welcomed Home by Our Father through the gates of heaven where Uncle Kenny will greet him with a big hug. You are forever loved.
