BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES

Accepting Book Today!

Submitted/MMLT

On June 23, local ecologist and nature enthusiast Ken Allison led an intrepid group on a field visit at High Lonesome Nature Reserve, Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust's flagship property near Pakenham to discover the secrets of dragonflies, damselflies and butterflies. In spite of a sprinkle of rain, four species of damselflies, nine species of dragonflies and eight species of butterflies were identified, the most unusual insect being a Hallowe'en Pennant dragonfly. The group was delight to see several Monarch butterflies, a species at risk, in the front field where there are many milkweed plants. We are grateful to Gillagallou Bird Inc. who sponsored this event. Above, a close-up of one of the participants inspecting the beautiful pattern on a Pearl Crescent butterfly.

The Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) is pleased that all members of Parliament representing the region, and from across party lines, have signed strong letters of support to the federal government to help fund proposed cell service improvements for the region.

EORN is proposing a $213 million public-private partnership to improve both the reach and quality of cellular data services in rural eastern Ontario, which is essential for business investment, jobs and quality of life.

"We would like to express our thanks to all of our federal representatives for their strong support for the project," said EORN chair J. Murray Jones. "EORN has a proven track record of delivering outstanding results in collaboration with the federal, provincial and municipal governments, and the private sector."

About one quarter of the area where there are homes, businesses or major roads in the region cannot access any cellular services. And many areas don't have enough capacity to meet growing demand for mobile broadband. These gaps are the result of market failure. A public-private partnership would reduce carriers' infrastructure costs, creating a stronger business case to improve services.

The project is seeking one-third of the funding from the federal government, one-third from the provincial government and one-third from mobile carriers. Municipal governments across the region have already approved and/or contributed funds for technical work needed for the project.

The incoming Ontario government committed to the province's share of $71 million during the election campaign.

In two separate letters, all MPs from the region are urging the federal government to provide its $71 million share for the project.

"We welcome this support from our MPs. The backing from across the political spectrum demonstrates just how important this cell project is for the future of our region. We are hopeful that the federal government will listen and fund this critical project," stated Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus chair Robin Jones.

Locally, the late Gord Brown, MP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, along with Scott Reid, MP for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, both supported the initiative. A letter dated April 27, 2018 addressed to Navdeep Singh Bains, minister of innovation, science and economic development, stated "residents and businesses in eastern Ontario will further benefit from an improved access to online services allowing people to connect

ern Ontario Wardens' Caucus, helped to improve broadband access to nearly 90 per cent of eastern Ontario through a $175 million fixed broadband network funded by the federal, provincial and municipal governments and private sector service pro-

viders. It works with governments and community organizations to improve and leverage broadband access to fuel economic growth across the region.

Steve Clark named Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Premier Doug Ford named Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark as the new Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on June 29.

Ford and his 21-member executive council were sworn in during a public ceremony on the front steps of Legislative Building. The entire 76-member cabinet, including 48 new MPPs, were affirmed on June 22.

Clark, who lives in Brockville, was elected for his fourth term in office on June 7. In his last term as MPP, he had held the position of co-deputy leader with Sylvia Jones, since September 2015. He received 61.29 per cent of the votes (29,996) to earn reelection.

Before heading into his first executive council meeting that afternoon, Clark spoke with this newspaper about his appointment, which he learned about just a few days ago.

"I was sworn to secrecy until this morning," he noted. "It's a big honour, a

great honour that Premier Ford would feel I have the capabilities to be part of a very small executive council cabinet."

"It's going to be a great learning experience and an honour I look forward to," Clark continued.

He believes his municipal background experience has prepared him for the new role. In 1982 at age 22, Clark became Canada's youngest mayor when elected in Brockville. He also served as president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and for a brief period before being elected MPP, he was the chief administrative officer with the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands.

"I'm looking forward to serving the people of Ontario, my cabinet colleagues and caucus colleagues," he said.

He understands that with 444 municipalities in Ontario, there are many stakeholders with an interest in the municipal affairs and housing file.

"I want to make sure that the government is accessible to people," Clark stated.

In addition to Clark, Ford has chosen three other Ottawa-area MPPs for positions in his cabinet, including rookie KanataCarleton MPP Merrilee Fullerton, who will serve as Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities; Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod is the new Minister of Children, Community and Social Services; and Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski will take over as Minister of Transportation.

"We have an all-star team that's ready right now to give the people of Ontario the kind of leadership and direction they deserve," Ford noted in a press release.

"For too long, the people of Ontario have worked more and paid more, but gotten less. Those days are over.

“Help is here."

Ford will also take on the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs title.

OPINION

ABOUT US

Long live the fourth estate Democracy requires informed citizens.

Journalism has long been considered an important force in government and key to the functioning of democracy itself.

Scottish philosopher, writer, essayist, translator, historian, mathematician, and teacher Thomas Carlyle, in 1841, wrote: "Burke said there were Three Estates in Parliament; but, in the Reporters' Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important far than they all" (On Heroes and Hero Worship).

It's hard not to feel it's a profession that's under attack, on the world stage, and in the least, in peril closer to home.

On June 28, four journalists and a sales associate were killed and two others injured when Jarrod Ramos allegedly opened fire inside the offices of a Maryland newspaper. Ramos, who has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder, had a long history with the newspaper that included a lawsuit and years of harassment.

The Capital Gazette is a community newspaper, just like the one you are reading now. As journalism continues to receive hit after hit, it is an inspiration that Gazette staff put out an edition the next day.

And while the suspect's beef was with the targeted newspaper, it's a troubling incident nonetheless considering the attack followed months of verbal and online attacks on the "fake news media" from politicians, among them U.S. President Donald Trump.

Journalism finds itself at a crisis point - municipalities continue to lose their local news sources, major newspapers and television stations are losing staff, and the industry scrambles to find ways of maintaining revenue and holding public trust and interest.

Last week, news broke that a newspaper that's served Pembroke and the Ottawa Valley for 163 years is down to its final month of operation. Postmedia will close the long-serving daily paper with the last edition slated for July 28.

The newspaper industry is being battered by digital disruption, as advertising dollars once spent in local newspapers are sucked out of the country by foreign tech giants Google and Facebook, says Unifor, the union representing some of the affected Pembroke employees.

It's time we take action.

News is not only critical to democracy, but to the health of communities. Let's do what we can to preserve and bolster this vital industry.

The pen is still mightier than the sword.

School closure a time for reflection here The loss of rural schools should be mourned, writes Ashley Kulp Whenever a school is shuttered, it's a loss to the community. When it takes place in a rural area, that blow can be even bigger.

Last week, I covered the farewell celebration of Wolford Public School for our papers. You never quite know what to expect, but instead of a sombre atmosphere, I was greeted with optimism; smiles and laughs between former teachers and students who hadn't seen each other in years, and the nervous energy of students preparing to perform their goodbye skits and en-

ASHLEY KULP Column joy pizza and games afterwards. There was obviously an air of sentimentality, but also hope for the future.

In March 2017, after undertaking a pupil accommodation review, the Upper Canada District School Board made the decision to close seven schools within Leeds-Grenville, including Wolford and Oxford-on-Rideau Public School in Oxford Mills (it will close in 2019). I covered much of that process as parent councils,

community groups and organizations made pleas to the school board to keep their facilities open. It was clear there was anguish on the part of trustees in having to make their final decision.

I don't believe it was one taken lightly.

Yes, with less than 100 students it's hard to justify keeping the facility open, but it's sad that children will no longer be able to attend a school in their own community. Instead, they'll be bussed off to Merrickville or Smiths Falls, whose communities both have terrific schools, for their education.

The days of the rural school seem numbered and that's something to mourn.

The farewell reminded me of my own elementary school, Frankville Public School, in the small community between Brockville and

Smiths Falls. It was closed in June 2004. I received a wonderful education there and still count some of my former teachers as mentors.

But back then in the late 1990s, the threat to rural schools could already be seen. Enrollment dwindled below 100 students and when I graduated grade 8, there were less than 10 of us who received our certificates and I was the only female.

While it's a sad reality, the school's closure doesn't mean Wolford will go away.

Those skills learned by students over decades will live on and the friendship and mentors gained won't soon be forgotten.

COUNTY

9

The following are highlights from the special Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, June 27.

Council has approved the Community Forest Five-Year Operating Plan for 2018-2022, which is a working document that is part of the 20-year forest management plan approved by council in 2011 after a public review process.

The most recent operating plan expired in 2017, and during the past year the county's forest management advisors collaborated with the Community Forest working group to develop the new plan.

The Lanark County Community Forest consists of 40 properties comprising almost 4,600 hectares throughout the county. The properties were purchased by the county between 1938 and 1987 and are made up of tracts of natural forest, treed plantations in former farmland, and lakes and wetlands.

The new operating plan describes activities carried out by the forest manager, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, from 2013-2017 and provides a detailed schedule for the current period. To ensure long-term forest and finan-

cial sustainability, there is a 20year forecast of thinning and harvesting activities (to 2037), which is reviewed and extended a further five years with each new operating plan. The plan is key to ensuring forestry and property administration activities are carried out in an organized fashion.

Speed limit reduction for Lally Road Council has approved a bylaw authorizing the reduction of the speed limit on County Road 21 for the entire portion known as Lally Road from 60 kilometres per hour to 50. The portion runs from County Road 14 (Narrows Lock Road) to Lally Lake Drive, part of which is through Murphys Point Provincial Park.

This follows discussion with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), Species at Risk (SAR) Division, regarding the rehabilitation project currently taking place on the road. To obtain necessary permits for the project, county staff participated in SAR training, conducted an inventory of identified SAR, and committed to putting measures in place to reduce their mortality.

The speed limit reduction is one of the measures, as well as installing three seasonal speed bumps from April 1 to Nov. 1 each year and posting a cautionary message on the Municipal 511 website advising motorists this section of road is not

suitable for camping trailers due to its narrow, winding nature. The message has been posted and the speed bumps will consist of rubber mats affixed by spikes that will be removed prior to winter maintenance activities. Some of the iden-

tified species at risk include Gray rat snakes and Blanding's turtles.

The speed reduction will take place as soon as necessary signs are installed.

Excitement of new bathing suits wears off quickly

Aunt Freda's 'gifts' were rarely practical on farm, columnist recalls Mother said Father's sisters, Aunt Lizzie in Regina, and Aunt Freda in Chicago, had no idea what we needed on the farm they had left years before.

Although she was always grateful to Aunt Lizzie for the twice-a-year hand-medown box of boys and men's clothes she sent on the CPR train, Aunt Freda's parcels were a different story.

I knew Chicago was a big city, because my brother Everett showed

MARY COOK Column me a map of the place in a book he had brought home from the Renfrew library, so that made me think Aunt Freda must be as rich as Aunt Lizzie who lived in Regina.

Every now and then a parcel would arrive, and although we kids were as excited as blazes to get something wrapped in brown paper in the mail, the excitement faded away pretty quickly, because

usually what was inside was either something we couldn't use, or was a piece of clothing not the least suitable for life on the farm ... like the pure silk bathrobe she sent Father, who went to bed in his underwear every night.

Or the box of a few dozen pieces of wires, boxes and contraptions that made no sense, until we called Uncle Alec from the next farm to help us figure it out. It didn't take him long to tell us to pack it up and put it in the drive shed, because it was pieces that had to be put together to make a radio. It came with a long cord with a plug on the end, and with no electricity on the farm, it joined several other mysterious parcels

coming our way from Chicago.

And then came the day when a parcel arrived from Aunt Freda addressed to Audrey. Never had I seen my sister so excited. She tore into the parcel and pulled out two bathing suits ... one in her size, and an identical one for me. We had never had store-bought bathing suits before. They were navy and white stripes, and were made of pure wool, according to the label attached to the straps.

It didn't take Audrey and me long to get out of our clothes, put on the suits and head for the Bonnechere. "Audrey, mine itches like crazy," I said as we made a beeline for the river. Audrey assured me once they were wet, they

Well, as soon as we hit the water, the suits took on a life of their own. They went stiff as boards, and mine, since I was bone thin, became a cage, and separated about two inches from my body. Audrey's clung to her, but the look on her face told me that would be last time we would be wearing Aunt Freda's swimsuits.

We tore home, and Audrey said she was sure the suits could stand up on their own, as we peeled them off and got into our flour bag underwear. Of

course, we had to write thank you letters to Aunt Freda, and under Mother's directions we weren't allowed to tell a lie, so we just said how nice it was to have something that came from a big store in Chicago.

That winter, in one of the braided rugs Mother made every year, you could plainly see a couple of rows of navy blue and white wool cleverly worked in with the discarded work socks, and other woollens no longer wearable.

After all, there was a Depression on, and nothing was wasted.

One day last week during my daily walk I met an acquaintance and we chatted briefly. He knows my love for the game of soccer ("football" in most of the world) and he asked if I was watching the FIFA World Cup in Russia, which is now in the playoff phase and whether I intended to write a column about it.

My answer to the first question was affirmative. I have been watching as many World Cup games as time allows. As for a column on the world championship I told him I hadn't planned to write anything. However the performance of "my team" - England - at this year's event has made me reconsider.

With so few teams I follow regularly participating I had to drill deeper to find countries whose national teams appeal to me. No Canada in this event again of course and, to most football watchers' surprise, no United States either.

But it was during our many visits to Great Britain that I became hooked on soccer. It was the English who invented the sport after all. But they've only won the World Cup on one occasion, back in 1966 when England hosted the competition which is played every four years.

In recent times England has not excelled at the World Cup. Looking back at the two previous competitions it has been a story of bitter disappointment for British soccer fans.

In the last tournament, played in Brazil in 2014, the England squad fell at the first hurdle, the group stage, although admittedly they were in a very tough group.

Four years earlier in South Africa they were better. England didn't lose in group play, tying the U.S. 1-1 and drawing 0-0 with Algeria.

Controversial game Like all England fans I was embarrassed by the performance of the team in Brazil four summers ago. Under manager Roy Hodgson (now the head coach at Crystal Palace in the English Premier

JEFF MAGUIRE Column League) the England squad looked rudderless. Admittedly they, like most past English clubs, were badly hampered by the lack of a worldclass striker. On the pitch in Brazil they appeared confused, without any real plan for important elements such as who would take corners and free kicks. They seemed to be making it up as they went along!

They beat Slovenia 1-0 to make the Round of 16 but were matched against a very strong German side.

They lost that game 4-1 although an obvious England goal, which would have tied the contest 2-2, was infamously disallowed and resulted in major controversy.

Earlier in the 2000s England made it into the quarter-finals at both the 2002 World Cup in Japan/ Korea and the 2006 finals in Germany. Besides their lone World Cup triumph in 1966, England's second best tournament result was in 1990 in Italy. They reached the semifinals losing a heartbreaker 4-3 in a penalty shootout to eventual champions West Germany.

Since first entering the tournament in 1950 England has failed to qualify three times, the most recent being 1994 when the U.S. played host to the world competition.

This year has been a different story. Under the direction of new bench boss Gareth Southgate, a former Premier League defender/ midfielder turned manager who played more than over 500 games in England's top-flight, the current squad is much better. There is a renewed emphasis on defence and up front England has their best striker at the World Cup in decades in the person of Harry Kane, the Tottenham Hotspur star.

Southgate, who won 52 caps (appearances) with the national team during his 18-year playing career,

has selected a young side with more speed, something that's crucial in the modern game. There is also a renewed emphasis on defence with some good young keepers and strong, determined fullbacks and central defenders. Up front England has their best striker at the World Cup in decades in the person of Harry Kane, the Tottenham Hotspur (EPL) star.

They cruised through the long qualifying campaign for this World Cup and in Russia they won their first two matches including a 6-1 thrashing of Panama in Game 2 on June 24. Kane netted twice, including a late winner, in England's well deserved tournament opening 2-1 victory over Tunisia. He then bagged a hat trick in Game 2, including a pair of perfectly taken penalties.

To demonstrate how poor England's overall scoring performance at the World Cup has been over the years, Kane's five goals moved him into a second-place tie with Geoff Hurst (he starred for England's winning squad in 1966) on the alltime team goal scoring list. Gary Lineker, now a sports broadcaster, holds the England scoring record with 10 FIFA World Cup tallies.

No matter what happens the rest of the way England has regained their balance at this World Cup and although the players deserve credit, I feel Southgate should stand front and centre at the end of this competition. Under his steady hand a new era may be dawning for English national team football. His open, media-friendly and fresh approach has breathed life into a program which, four short years ago, appeared to be on the ropes.

Southgate and his young squad have revived English fans pride in their soccer team and in the world's most popular sport, which was invented in their country. Perhaps most important of all, the 2018 World Cup has given fans and everyone associated with British soccer renewed hope for the future.

Maybe a second World Cup title for England isn't so far away after all?

COMMUNITY

Lanark County's Connections program seeks volunteer birth companions The Connections program for families is a nonprofit agency which is part of Lanark Community Programs, (part of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services). It is proud to offer a continuum of prenatal and postnatal support services to families in our community.

We are currently looking for volunteer birth companions to volunteer their time with young women in our community. Volunteers are especially needed in the Smiths Falls and Carleton Place area.

The Birth Companion program began in 1995, it is unique and highly valued in Lanark County. Today we celebrate more than 300 matches made. Its purpose is to support young women, or young women and their partners, throughout their pregnancy, labour and delivery. Every step of the way a trained volunteer from our community supports the family and the arrival of the new baby. Statistics show when a woman has good support during labour and delivery, birth outcomes improve, resulting in fewer interventions and labours resulting in caesarean sections.

All volunteers apply and are asked to provide three solid references. A police vulnerability/criminal records check is done and an interview takes place. An extensive training is offered over a three-day period or six evening sessions.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to: confidentiality, teen pregnancy, effective communication, stages of labour, labour comfort techniques, infectious disease control and breast feeding. An explanation of what Connections does and its philosophy is reviewed, and current community resources are shared.

When a match becomes available, Volunteers are chosen and introduced to the young women in their

community. Participants have been matched as early as four weeks pregnant and as late as just prior to labour.

Birth companions and participants spend time throughout the pregnancy doing a variety of things together. Accompaniment to a doctor or ultrasound appointment, prenatal classes or teachings, shopping, cooking or just spending time together having a coffee. Mostly it's an ear to listen and knowing there is someone in the community they can count on. Birth companions are encouraged to do a birth plan (provided) with their match, reviewing what the women/ partner want and hope for during delivery and after.

Most matches are part of the delivery, although not all. Our volunteers are excited when they can attend a birth, some have attended more than 30 deliveries. At times, participants have requested the same volunteer for all of their children. Deliveries are always different, natural births, assisted births, caesarean-sections, home births and we even had a birth in an ambulance with the volunteer present.

The Connections volunteer co-ordinator facilitates the training, checks in on a biweekly schedule with each volunteer while matched, offering support and guidance. She is available by phone throughout the match at any time. The facilitator also checks in with the participant, making sure her needs are always being met.

Our birth companions haven given us some great feedback over the years based on their experiences: "it was beautiful," "I cried with the mom," "she did an amazing job," and "dad did a great job supporting his partner." Our participants have stated: "She was so supportive," "she helped so much with my appointments," "amazing," "she

was there for me when my partner wasn't," "she had me for dinner with my son and baby," "she gave me hope for my future," "I was so scared, she made me feel safe," and "she stuck up for me." One father told us "she helped me help my partner get through the labour and delivery."

Birth companions can become a lifeline for these women and for the families.

Although matches technically end at six weeks, often they continue indefinitely.

We have stories of birth companions becoming godparents and/or becoming part of the extended family.

Our goal at Connections is to provide support to families during their pregnancies and in the healthy growth and development of their young children. This is a co-operative effort involving the family, agency services and the community.

Connections is a very unique agency. We offer not only a variety of support but a progression of support. Participants can move from program to program as their child develops or they can use more than one program at a time. All participation is voluntary, free and is parent directed. Our programs are run throughout Lanark County and our Good Food for a Healthy Baby program is also run in Leeds-Grenville.

Our slogan at Connections is Real Help ... Right Here ... Right Now. If you know of a young family who are pregnant or have young children, please do not hesitate to refer them to Connections. We are here to help. Please call 613-2572779 ext. 3104 for more information about our programming or if you are interested in becoming a volunteer in our Birth Companion program or in our playgroups offered throughout Lanark County.

BarnDoor Productions' new version of the classic farce Charley's Aunt launched the company's 23rd summer series last June in grand style with flying bodies and slamming doors bringing plenty of laughter to Perth's Full Circle Theatre.

For July, Full Circle Theatre will play host to something completely different. Getting To Room Temperature is a one-man show performed by one of Canada's most recognizable TV faces and written by one of Canada's most respected playwrights.

Getting To Room Temperature, by former Great Canadian Theatre Company artistic director Arthur

Milner, is a remarkable script that is, frankly, about death and dying, in particular about the need and desire for doctor-assisted suicide. As performed by well-known Canadian television performer Robert Bockstael, the show offers "believable humour ... poignant remembrances and effective arguments.

Bockstael feels familiar, even intimate; like a confidante who spins out his story ... at a fireside chat."

(Jennifer Cavanagh, Apt613 blog).

Bockstael's work includes the CBC series' North of 60 and Wind At My Back, as well as many other stage, film and television credits. Milner's

works have been performed as far afield as the United Kingdom and Israel.

Getting To Room Temperature is, according to its author, "a hard-hitting, sentimental and funny one-person play about dying." Its 2016 debut was the best-selling play in the history of Ottawa's undercurrents festival and it has received rave reviews on cross-country tours since.

One patron's comment was "A very funny, warm, loving and provocative piece.

Robert Bockstael had us in the palm of his hand." The Ottawa Citizen says "Milner, through the accessible voice of Bockstael, wraps his questions in warm an-

ecdotes ... sprinkles the show with humour, and lovingly depicts his vital, opinionated mother" while the Just Another Gala blog said "Robert Bockstael is a wonderful performer and a fantastic storyteller. It's very intimate ... polished ... funny ... but absolutely important ..." The 75-minute show will be followed by a half-hour talk-back session with Bockstael.

Getting To Room Temperature will be in Perth for three performances only: July 20 at 7:30 p.m. and July 21 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be $25 and they are available exclusively at Tickets Please (613 485 6434, www.ticketsplease.ca).

BarnDoor Productions will follow that up in August with the premiere production of Willm Shaksper, a new play based on a century old script that looks at the life of the man who became The Bard of Avon. The original 1917 play was built around the half-dozen or so facts about Shakespeare that were known back then; the new script builds on that through the light of the many hundreds (if not thousands) of facts that have been discovered since.

The story is funny, dramatic, surprising and, perhaps in the end, tragic, as the life of William Shakespeare is looked at in five

episodes from his early days as a playwright through the days just before his death. It's a unique take on the Bard and one which is full of entertainment. Shakespeare's life was as dramatic as his plays - and, often, as funny. Willm Shaksper will run Aug. 10 through 26 at Full Circle Theatre.

It's definitely a hot summer of entertainment at the ground-level, barrierfree, air-conditioned Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Visit www.barndoorproductions.ca for more details or to reserve tickets for Willm Shaksper.

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!

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Cancer, it is important to support others’ goals and the steps they take to achieve them, even if you do not necessarily agree with their formula for success.

Avoid going too far off in your own direction this week, Libra. Before making any rash decisions, take some time to ask questions and get answers.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, planning stages are over and now you’re about to turn your goals into reality. Just be sure to adapt to the changing environment as things unfold.

Happiness has less to do with what is happening in the world and more with your own perceptions, Leo. Keep this in mind as you move forward in life.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

Scorpio, if something doesn’t initially work to your liking, don’t be shy about giving it another go. The challenges ahead will be worth it when you ultimately succeed.

Aries, when everything is going your way, you are absolutely glowing. But if things don’t come naturally to you, frustration may set in. Find a balance between the two.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

Gemini, you might be seeking ways to help others in need, but you do not have patience when things take longer than expected. Stick to the plan and see it through.

Virgo, challenges at work may be tiring you out.

People may seem like they are all over the map instead of working together. Try to get everyone going in the same direction.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Your creativity and emotions are linked this week, Sagittarius. Pour your heart and efforts into a special project that reflects just how you are feeling.

Nothing in a current relationship is unfolding as you had expected, Capricorn. That’s alright. This sense of adventure that keeps you guessing is a welcome change.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, working closely with others is one of your strong points. Disagreements on how to approach different projects can be tricky to navigate, but you’re up to the task.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, this week there may be little separation between your career and personal life. If that works for you, forget the naysayers.

OPINION

Too many of us don't monitor tire inflation, columnist Brian Turner writes

BRIAN TURNER Column The Tire and Rubber Association of Canada recently released the results of a survey they commissioned Leger to complete on drivers' understanding of proper tire pressures on their rides.

While some of the results are promising (over 90 per cent of respondents believe they are responsible to make sure their vehicles are as fuel efficient as possible and proper tire pressure has a lot to do with that), other answers reveal we still have a long way to go.

Only 30 per cent measure their tires' inflation pressures monthly, a practice essential to fuel economy, road safety.

A whopping 65 per cent were unaware inflation pressures should only be measured when tires are cold (meaning being parked for at least three hours or not have been driven more than two kilometres prior to checking tire inflation).

Thirty-seven per cent refer to the air pressure stamped on the tire's side wall when identifying the correct pressure for their tires. That spec is the maximum pressure a tire can contain under maximum load, but not the recommended inflation level. The proper inflation pressure info is located on a vehicle label usually affixed to the edge of the driver's door or on that door's frame.

Twenty-two per cent rely on visual inspections to determine if their tires are inflated properly. A tire can be underinflated by 20 per cent or more and look normal.

"Canadian drivers understand the benefits of proper tire inflation and that's great news," says Glenn Maidment, president of the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada, which represents tire makers.

"However, the survey also emphasizes the urgent requirement for broader driver knowledge and education on tire inflation facts and procedures. The need is particularly acute among younger drivers who are significantly less likely to know inflation pressures should be measured monthly and when tires are cold. Learning a few simple facts and procedures advances safety, maximizes fuel efficiency and protects the environment."

In addition to saving money on rubber (running tires at the wrong inflation pressure leads to premature wear), keeping tires properly inflated will save on fuel

costs. You lose 0.2 per cent of your fuel economy for every 1 psi the tires are below the recommended pressure.

With fuel predicted to go north of $1.40 per litre soon, keeping an eye and gauge on

The Vegetable of the Year for 2018 is beets (Beta vulgaris), according to the National Garden Bureau, and no wonder! It is a powerhouse of nutrients. Although it has more sugar than any other vegetable, it is high in fibre, vitamins and minerals. Beets are loaded with potassium, manganese and vitamin C. Experts say beets will help to lower blood pressure, fight cancer and inflammation, boost your stamina and support detoxification. Both the leaves and the root are delicious. The leafy tops are higher in iron than spinach and are used like swiss chard. The root is very versatile - grated raw in salads, canned, pickled, juiced or used in soup - a favourite being borscht.

Beets get their lovely rich colour from pigments called anthocyanins. The particular anthocyanin of beets is beta cyanine. This pigment is water soluble and is destroyed by heat, so when beets are cooked, the beta cyanine leaks into the water and stains it red.

Golden beets lack this pigment, so another pigment present in all beets - beta xanthine - shines through to give the roots a beautiful golden colour. Yellow beets do not stain the cooking water the way red ones do.

Beets grew naturally

along the coast in North Africa, Asia and Europe.

Originally it was the beet greens that were consumed but as far back in history as ancient Rome, the beet root was also part of the diet. By the 19th century, beets were recognized for their sugar content. In Napoleon times, beets were a primary source of sugar.

Beet root will thrive in all parts of North America. Pests and diseases are not major concerns. It is easy to grow in most soils, doing best in rich, sandy loam with a pH of 6.5. Beets can be cropped in succession every two weeks from mid spring to midsummer.

Beets planted in the heat of summer may become tough and stringy. Most seed will germinate in five-10 days. Unsettled weather conditions and checks in growth will often cause "white rings."

Beet seeds should be planted one-centimetre deep and five cm apart.

When plants are five-10 cm tall, thin them to stand 1015 cm apart. They can be harvested when their size suits you. When harvesting, remove the tops leaving about 2.5 cm attached to the root. Beets are more tender when they are small. A 50-foot row will probably yield 50 pounds.

To some people a beet is a beet is a beet, but to gar-

deners in the know, different beet varieties are suited to different purposes. If you want to store your beets to have them on hand for winter use, try varieties such as "Detroit Dark Red" type or "Carillon," which is a cylindrical shape. "Tausus" is touted as being best for pickling, and "Chioggia" is a flat globe beet with contrasting purple and white interiors.

"Touchstone Gold" is bright gold in colour and does not bleed interior colour. "Eagle," a baby beet, has delicious medium green tops and is excellent for canning. "Avalanche" is a new white flesh variety with good disease resistance. How interesting they would be when combined with other red and golden beets. "Red Ace" is a favourite multi-purpose beet. There are many choices, both hybrid and open pollinated.

With beets you get two veggies from one. Do plant some in 2018.

Smiths Falls and Perth mayors want municipalities to help fund Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com Area municipalities are being asked to help fund the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital, which is facing an equipment funding shortfall.

While health care is technically a provincial responsibility, funding from the province doesn't cover equipment that the hospital needs to serve the community.

Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow and Perth Mayor John Fenik, in a joint presentation to Smiths Falls town council at their special committee of the whole meeting on Monday, June 18, proposed a municipal tax levy to help ffund the hospital's capital budget.

"We're asking that a portion of your taxes go to the hospital," said Fenik. "The provincial responsibility stops at operations, they don't pay a cent for capital anything you touch and feel (at the hospital)."

Proposed hospital levee met with mixed council support l Continued from page 1

Over 150 graduating students from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute filed into the gymnasium for their commencement ceremony on Thursday, June 28.

area of 44,000, rely on various funding streams, including money given by the province through OHIP, the Local Health Integration Network, and the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care, grants, equipment donation, revenue from the parking and cafeteria, and donations from the community.

Traditionally, hospital foundations and auxiliaries are the main sources of funding for equipment.

The hospital has an annual equipment need of $3.1 million. However, a $1.6 million annual shortfall is estimated.

"Sometimes, year to year there can be a degree of uncertainty - even as they enter a new budget year - as to whether or not they'll be able to keep up

the level of service people have been accustomed to," said Pankow.

"If we don't want people going to Ottawa or Kingston more frequently for services, we need to ensure that the equipment is there to allow our physicians, our professionals, to continue to provide these services."

While Pankow said the hospital's auxiliaries and foundations do a great job with fundraising, he acknowledged that they can't do it all.

"Being able to come up with 3.1 million per year is beyond their capabilities," he said.

The mayors have proposed a levy based on a weighted assessment on 25 per cent property assessment value, 25 per cent population, 50 per cent for hospital visits.

This assessment is used to determine how much each municipality should pay.

Pankow said the even though it left Smiths Falls with the "biggest chunk of the pie," he supports it.

"I think it's a very fair way of determining how people should pay," said Pankow.

Smiths Falls has the highest municipal ask valued at $174,341, which translates into $95.28 per household per year. Smiths Falls is followed by Rideau Lakes at $166,583, and Perth at $136,666. The costs presented were based on a single family residential property assessed at $300,000.

There will be delegations to each area municipality to present the proposed tax levy for hospital funding.

Town of Smiths Falls says Harold Street traffic calming measures have worked EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com It appears everyone has a different definition of success.

The Town of Smiths Falls has touted the traffic calming measures on Harold Street a success.

Troy Dunlop, the town's director of public works and utilities, told council at their special committee of the whole on Monday, June 18 that the calming measures on Harold Street implemented last summer, including the installation of recommended speed humps along with all-way stop controls, have been a success.

The results come after the town studied the speeding before and after the calming measures were put in place.

The volume of speeding cars on Harold Street has dropped from a high of 25 per cent of drivers speeding in 2016, to about one to two per cent, according to his report to council.

Dunlop said the measures put in place really helped to curb the speeding issues. He said there is now a "very, very high rate of compliance" in what appear to be lasting changes on that particular stretch of road and that the calming measures should stay in place.

"They're doing what they should be doing," he said.

Harold Street in Smiths Falls.

Initially, the town received mixed reviews on the new traffic calming measures - some residents supported it, others didn't.

Dunlop pointed out that the traffic calming wasn't without its shortcomings. He reported that last fall some vehicles were observed encroaching onto parts of the sidewalk to avoid the speed humps. The issue was resolved by installing two vertical bollards last December to stop vehicles from being able to avoid the speed humps.

However, Harold Street resident Judith Wallace, who has been outspoken against a proposed ATV route down Harold Street as well as speed and traffic volume on her street, said that her and her husband's "vision" for the street is different than the town's.

Wallace said that there are still concerns about traffic volume.

Screen capture/Google maps

"For those of us living here, it is definitely a major problem," she said. "My husband pointed out to him (Dunlop, when they met with him recently) that the 4,000-plus cars a day are all within a 12-hour period - 400 plus cars an hour.

"I also stressed that people continually drive on the sidewalk."

There have also been reports of people not obeying stop signs.

Data presented by the town show that traffic volumes have reduced from a high of 4,288 average annual daily traffic between May 9 and May 15, 2016 to 3,662 average annual daily traffic between May 14 and May 20 this year - a 14.6 per cent decrease.

Staff will collect traffic counts again in the fall of 2018 and are generally recommending that the street be reviewed on an annual basis going forward.

Teachers unite in final blessing at St. Luke LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com The doors have closed at St. Luke Catholic High in Smiths Falls for the final time June 28, when staff gathered for a blessing Thursday, June 28, led by Fr. Rod McNeil.

The Ross Street location is making room for the newly constructed K-8 Catholic school, St. Francis, which will open in the fall. St. Luke students will be transferred to the former St. James the Greater, which is being retrofitted with a new industrial kitchen and woodworking shop. Students from St. James the Greater (K-3) and St. Francis de Sales across town will join forces under the new roof.

"This is the last day at St. Luke's officially," said Laura Mackler, on Thursday, who is High Skills Major hospitality course teacher. "St. James and St. Francis students will come

together here in the fall."

Mackler said St. Luke's is a unique "hands-on school" with focus on the world of work after high school.

"We have two streams: trade and tech where kids do a lot of construction, and we have hospitality where kids learn cooking, service and retail-type skills."

From Grade 10 to 12, the students at St. Luke do coop every other day, Mackler explained. "It's a huge piece of our story and we connect a lot with our community. We have so many corrections through community."

The focus is hands-on learning, and when the 140some students are in class for English and math, they focus on resume, finances, banking and leasing.

"All those things that people say they never learned in high school, that is our focus," Mackler said.

"To be honest, a lot of our kids came from a traditional stream, and some come in Grade 7 because

Smiths Falls swans haven't mated, won't be as much of a deterrent for geese EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com While the Duke and Duchess have pair bonded, they haven't had any young this year.

Art Manhire, the town's director of community services, explained that the swans weren't back in the basin in time for them to

mate. To date, town staff haven't spotted a nest site in an obvious place.

The pair were released into the basin this year in mid-May. Manhire said since there aren't any offspring this year, the swans won't be as much of a deterrent for geese.

When swans have young around, they defend their

territory more aggressively.

The town purchased the swans to help control the geese population in the basin. They were first released into the basin last summer.

Manhire encourages anyone spots a nest or young to contact him at amanhire@smithsfalls.ca.

St. Luke honours 2018 graduates

l Continued from page 5

they want to catch up on some academics that they might be a little bit behind on, and some kids come in high school because they learn best while doing."

If students' focus is on the world of work graduation, then St. Luke's might be the option for them, Mackler said.

"We get kids at all stages," she said. "Something that we've developed is apprenticeships. The government has done a lot to get high school kids ready for the trades, because there is a lack. There are so many bonuses to this. The rewards are incredible."

Prepping for real-world jobs is St. Luke's focus, she said.

At the new school, a new kitchen and construction are area being built.

"Mid to late August, we'll go unload and unpack," she said, at their new location on Catherine

Street.

Due to the construction of the new school, students at St. Luke had to be creative with their gym time, as their outdoor field was no longer available.

"We did some hockey, curling, bowling ... it was very creative," Mackler said. "We lost our outside space, but our students have been in the new building a lot to see how the construction works.

"They're excited for their new building because it has a gym, so we will be able to run some indoor sports, and intermural sports, which is good for them. All kids do well when they're moving around and using some energy."

She said though the kids have mixed emotions about the school coming down the first week of July. They want to watch the demolition take place.

"This was St. James before so it's full circle," she said. "St. Luke used to be

FINAL BLESSING Father Rod McNeil was on site June 28 to lead the

staff in the school's final blessing.

He touched on the rough transition period for staff and students having to

learn and teach around construction, but offered hope, peace and prayer.

"Through transition, there will be new begin-

nings," he said, "and I hope that it's a smooth transition for you all. And in the fall we'll be back to start a new year in a new space."

Wolford community bids farewell to elementary school ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com "Wolford is a good school, fun school, cool school, opened its doors in '64. Kids come here, year after year, if walls could talk what would we hear? We are, we are Wolford!"

That's the tune, sung by students, that rang out through Wolford Public School's gymnasium June 22 during the farewell celebration. The song, We are Wolford (to the tune of Queen's classic We are the Champions) has become a theme for the school.

It was a standing room only crowd of former students, staff, members of the public and local dignitaries who came out to say goodbye to the school, which will be closed at the end of the month. Its closure, along with six others in Leeds-Grenville, was approved by the Upper Canada District School Board in March 2017.

But June 22 was a time to celebrate and reflect on the memories, noted Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark, who lobbied to keep the school open. He admitted he felt he had failed the community, but upon hearing the students sing "it made me proud of them and the teachers and the commitment you've made to remember the school, the wonderful facility it is, I think is something that is the most important thing tonight." " ... One of the things that is the most important when we have a discussion about rural education is listening to people and I certainly have listened to you and I've tried to represent you," he continued.

"It's not a process for me to grieve, but it's a process to look back on so many wonderful things that happened here."

Merrickville-Wolford Mayor David Nash applauded the teaching staff, past and present, who have helped shape young minds.

"When I think about this or talk about it, it's a mixture of anger as well as sadness; angry that we have

lost such an important part of our history. But you know, I think it's a time to celebrate too," he remarked. "What we have to celebrate is the faculty at this school had one of the most important roles in our lives and that's to raise our kids, to give them values, to be role models, mentors and parents and they did an amazing job at that.

They went above and beyond what's required."

"Be proud when you say you were from Wolford, because you got a first-rate education," Nash added.

"Go, Wolford, go!"

Principal Jeff Curtis, who has been at the school for two years said he will remember the place fondly.

This fall, he will take over as principal at Naismith Public School in Almonte.

"The focus tonight is about celebrating the school and giving the students an opportunity to shine as they always do," he said.

"We have a wonderful group of students here."

He thanked parents and the committees formed for helping students with transition to other schools, as well as those who aided with the farewell celebration.

"Most students will be going to Duncan J. Schoular Public School (in Smiths Falls) which offers kindergarten to grade 8. A number in the eastern end will attend Merrickville Public School, which has kindergarten to grade 6," Curtis explained.

Vivian Fleming, who taught for seven years at

A farewell celebration was held for Wolford Public School June 22. The school is set to close at the end of the month. Former and present students, staff and local dignitaries came out to remember the school, constructed in 1964. Above, students open the ceremony with the singing of 'We are Wolford.'

Wolford before retiring in 1978, attended the farewell.

She remembers it as a welcoming place.

"I'm feeling sad today," she said after putting her name to a guest book set up in the hallway. "I love the community. The people here were always so great. I remember many great field trips."

Rural history Kristy Barr, the Grade 7/8 teacher, has taught at the school for 20 years.

"I'm a believer in a quote that it takes a village to raise a child and likewise, it takes a community to come together for a school closing celebration. And what an awesome community it is," she noted.

Barr introduced her class, which undertook an important project for the

farewell celebration. Due to the fact there was no recorded history of Wolford Public School, the students conducted interviews, both written and recorded, with members of the community, collected memorabilia and compiled names of former students and teachers that attended Wolford.

Through speeches and a slideshow, the students took the audience on a trip down memory lane.

The land the school now

sits on was donated by Ray McDougall and the original building was constructed in 1964. Alice Hughes served as the first principal at the school, coming from nearby Putnam School.

In the 1970s, the gym was built and the school saw 100 to 150 students enrolled, while in the 1980s, there were big changes. At that time, Wolford held the junior and intermediate students, and primary grades attended the Jasper School. A fire destroyed the Jasper building and the primary students were accommodated at Wolford in the gymnasium with dividers to separate classes. To make room, an extension was built and two portables were added to the school grounds.

Wolford saw an influx of students in the 1990s, up to 250 and another extension of four classrooms was made. One student remembered track and field events being held on a neighbour's horse track when someone put dynamite in a large manure pile.

It resulted in manure being sprayed across the school's yards and windows.

In the 2000s, the school's population began to de-

cline from 240 to about 140.

They endured tragedy in 2004 with the passing of teacher Beth Carrieres in her classroom. A special tree and bench was placed in the yard in her honour.

Throughout the following years, the school's population continued to decline, to 70 students.

The Grade 7/8 students also prepared a slideshow of old photographs to songs they'd recorded for the crowd to reminisce.

Amber Boileau, who's in grade 8, will attend Athens District High School in the fall. She's proud to be part of the last graduating class of Wolford Public School, but sad that other students won't get the opportunity to attend the facility. She's spent her entire elementary school years there.

"I will miss it because I spent so many years of my childhood here. There's a sense of security and familiarity with the place," she noted.

After the presentations, visitors were treated to pizza as they browsed memorabilia and students ended the evening with a fun day outside, featuring cotton candy, games and bounce houses.

IN MEMORIAM

LEONARD WILFRED BAILEY July 19, 1913 - June 16, 2018 Len was known for his quick comebacks and friendly entertaining ways, even until the end.

Born in London ON into a working class family with seven children, they worked together to survive the Great Depression. He enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy to serve in World War II, after which Len and Janet were married and had three children. Len made a career in sales with Kellogg’s Company of Canada and retired near Kemptville ON. Len and Janet left their family a wonderful inheritance. On several occasions they gathered all their children and grandchildren in Florida and the Bahamas or Cuba or Mexico and provided them with a legacy of memories.

Len had a great number of interests and activities which he shared with his family: camping, fishing, boating and travelling. He was the consummate handyman. Even in his declining years he would happily crawl through an attic to fish a cable for a satellite dish. Janet died in 2010, Len moved into Carolina Retirement Suites in Perth until the time came to move over to Lanark Lodge where he passed peacefully, just short of his 105th birthday.

FOURNIER, Barbara Ann – July 10, 2013 The years may wipe out many things But this they’ll wipe out never, The memory of those happy days When we were all together.

We think of her in silence, Her name we oft recall.

But there’s nothing left to answer But her picture on the wall.

Just when her life was brightest, Just when her hopes were best, God called her from among us To a home of eternal rest.

Forever remembered Dave and Families
