Council looks for tax freeze despite capital needs

Skate the Lake is huge success

Community - The trio of Margaret Scott, Emma-Grace Wheeler and Chloe Goss earned the top three positions in the female category for the 5K. They were presented with Skate the Lake scarves from Canadian curler, Rachel Homan, back left, and Olympian Derek O’Farrell. The story and more photos start on page 5.

News - Smiths Falls councillors directed staff to return with a proposal for a zero per cent mill rate increase, but staff warned this move will come at a cost.

“Without even turning my calculator on we have to cut something in order to come back with zero,” said Malcolm Morris, CAO. Councillors and staff were looking at the third draft budget version Jan. 26 where a current shortfall of $974,897 (or 8.3 per cent on the mill rate) would be needed if council wished to keep all their capital items on the list. With a majority decision to keep the mill rate flat, staff will need to either cut the existing capital budget or delve into services offered to the taxpayer. Council also asked to remove borrowing as an option.

“I don’t think the people who are laid off can afford to pay any more tax,” remarked Coun. Joe Gallipeau.

It was noted all properties in town will see a 3.2 per cent increase in property assessment, which will come to the town as revenue.

Gallipeau has also asked town staff to get a price quote on installing a chair lift to council chambers. He noted a few residents struggled to get up the stairs during last week’s Hub pool meeting.

Coun. John Maloney agreed, saying it is not likely a decision on whether to move the council chambers to the main floor

will be made in the foreseeable future.

Coun. Dawn Quinn didn’t want to spend money on a temporary solution such as a chair lift, but would rather focus on making lasting improvements to the municipal complex starting with an $80,000 item to replace the front doors, relocate the chamber and spruce up the front entrance.

“I think we need to be doing that,” she said.

It was noted $60,000 was put in reserves last year for this item, and that the Smiths Falls and District Chamber of Commerce is working with the town on their relocation within the complex and may be able to contribute financially to the move.

Coun. Chris Cummings sided with Quinn in completing the complex work, adding in the $130,000 needed to repaint the windows and other elements of the heritage building. For this work, Cummings could support a slight increase to the mill rate so the municipality could move forward with this work. He noted the window work has not been done since the 1980s and has been deferred every year for his last eight years around the horseshoe.

“There is work we’ve got to do and we’ve got to get it done,” Cummings said.

Coun. Lorraine Allen was in agreement, expressing concern with council’s See TAX RATE page SF2

Unique health care model puts patients first in Rideau-Tay corridor sroy@perfprint.ca

News – Complex care patients throughout the Rideau-Tay corridor are experiencing health care like never before through the newly-introduced Health Link model that puts the patient’s voice at the centre of care. “It’s not what’s the matter with you, but what matters to you and it’s a very different question,� said Peter McKenna, executive director of Rideau Community Health Services. He also co-chairs the Rideau-Tay Health Link with Dr. Peter Cunniffe.

The Rideau-Tay Health Link covers the communities of Lanark Highlands, Perth, Rideau Lakes, Merrickville-Wolford, Smiths Falls and Montague where approximately 54,000 people reside.

The Rideau-Tay Health Link is one of seven in the South East LHIN and is a model of care that starts off by asking complex patients what their health care goals are. Complex patients are anyone with four or more active chronic conditions. The Rideau-Tay Health Link committee meetings monthly and includes patient representation. The meetings open each month with a retelling of a patient’s story. “They tell us that story to keep us real,� McKenna added. “Patients help us design the system.�

Maureen McIntyre, project manager for Health Link was hired this summer to oversea implementation of the health care approach following Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care approval of their business plan and funding.

Since then McIntyre has worked with 20 patients to create a co-ordinated care plan. Individuals are being identified right now by their physicians and health care services for referral to the program. “Certainly, our goal is to move that

forward fairly quickly,� McIntyre said.

They estimate approximately 400 patients in the region would be considered complex care patients at any one time.

Once a patient and his or her family accept enrollment into the Health Link, an in-home interview is done where their wishes are discussed and potential support organizations are identified. There are currently 15 health care organizations who have been working with McKenna for the last two years to launch this program. In January 2013 about 20 doctors from the region gathered to hear about Health Link and its intended benefits to their patients. That day about 60 per cent of them supported moving this program ahead. The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has been part of the collaboration to bring Health Link to the region from the start. Beverley McFarlane, president and CEO, is pleased to be part of a program that looks to improve the system of care for five per cent of the population’s most chronically ill residents. “We care for people as a community and as a continuum,� McFarlane said.

The hospital doesn’t carry statistics on the number of complex care pa-

tients they see in a year, but expected the numbers would increase during flu season, etc.

McFarlane applauded the RideauTay Health Link for embracing the true mission of Health Link, which is putting patients first and turning up the volume for their voices to be heard. “The Rideau-Tay Health Link, in my opinion, they are pretty far ahead in terms of a lot of Health Links in Ontario,� McFarlane added. “It’s the right people who got together early.�

The Health Link model is currently being rolled out across the province, but is also seen in many countries around the world. The hope is to improve the quality of care for these complex patients, reduce the number of hospital visits and therefore save health care dollars in the long run. “This is to get in front of the crisis,�

McKenna said.

In addition to meeting these objectives, Health Links have been found to increase collaboration among health care professionals beyond one patient’s care and realize improved efficiencies through joint efforts and the removal of redundancies.

Help needed to solve break and enter News – Police are looking for assistance from the public to assist with identifying person or person involved in a break and enter on Iron Mine Road, Lanark Highlands. Sometime on Jan. 24, person or persons broke into a garage and stole a number of items.

“Organizations are working together like never before,� McKenna said.

One potential outcome could be improvements to the end-of-life care available locally. “We don’t have a good end-of-life care system,� McKenna said.

By engaging with the patients and empowering them to direct their way through the health care system, it is hoped many things, including end-oflife care can be addressed. McIntyre explains a patient’s health care goal could be to die at home. If this is the

case then their co-ordinated care plan would work backwards and look at what supports need to be available (be it medication, palliative care services, telehealth appointments, etc.) to make this a reality.

According to statistics from the South East LHIN, one per cent of Ontario’s population accounts for approximately 34 per cent of the province’s health care costs (or $15.2 billion). By 2030, the health care system is projected to be about 80 per cent of the provincial budget.

Local Lyme group stands by doctor guilty of misconduct Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Lanark Fights Lyme (LFL) is standing by a doctor who has been found guilty of professional misconduct – and adding that she, like other doctors who don’t subscribe to conventional thinking on fighting Lyme disease, is being targeted by regulators.

LFL hosted Dr. Jennifer Armstrong for a speech she gave last February at St. John Catholic High School in Perth, and, according to the group’s president, Myrna Lee, said that Armstrong is “absolutely” welcome back to speak in Lanark County.

In its ruling, released on Dec. 15, 2014, the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons’ discipline committee “found that Dr. Armstrong committed an act of professional misconduct, in that she has failed to maintain the standard of practise of the profession with respect to one patient. Dr. Armstrong admitted to this allegation.”

In its ruling, an unnamed 19-year-old woman first visited Dr. Armstrong in December of 2010. She did not have a family doctor at the time, but Armstrong was told by the patient’s mother that the woman, whom the college would only identify as “Patient A,” had made previous suicide attempts and been hospitalized. Patient A’s mother provided a summary of her daughter’s medical history,

including “a history of cognitive decline and seizures.” ‘A’ had been treated by an environmental medicine physician and “had improved considerably.”

Patient A attended Armstrong’s office in Ottawa three times and on each occasion, the committee found that “Dr. Armstrong failed to perform any mental health assessments. Dr. Armstrong recommended a regime of IV vitamins which were administered between December 2010 and April 2011. Dr. Armstrong also treated Patient A with minerals and amino acids that lowered Patient A’s thyroid medication in response to tests.”

In May of 2011, Armstrong heard that Patient A, whom she had last treated the month before, had killed herself.

According to the ruling, the college received a report about Patient A’s death from the Office of the Chief Coroner in September of 2012. Shortly afterwards, the college commenced an investigation into Armstrong’s care of Patient A. “Dr. Armstrong took no steps to investigate or treat Patient A’s mental health issues,” wrote the college’s investigators. “Nor did she take any steps to assist Patient A in finding a primary care physician or other specialist. Dr. Armstrong did not refer Patient A to a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health professional.”

The report also found that “there were no conventional treatments of-

fered or documented for her psychiatric symptoms.” It was also found that Armstrong’s decision to concentrate “on giving vitamins, minerals and amino acids” were “not the standard of care. Her focus regarding this patient was on chemical sensitivies and metal toxicities.”

The discipline committee ruled that not only would Armstrong have to pay the college “costs in the amount of $4,460,” but that she would have to “engage in clinical supervision and a reassessment of her practice in accordance with the terms of her undertaking.” She was also directed to “require that all of her current patients have a family physician or certified specialist who will provide concurrent care,” with whom she could communicate. Her current patients have been given until Jan. 31 to find family doctors or she will have to cease treating them. She will also not be allowed to take on any new patients who do not have family doctors.

She also must post, in all of her examination rooms, and her waiting room, a notice telling patients that they must have a family doctor in order for her to treat them.

Lee’s daughter is a patient of Armstrong’s and confirmed to this newspaper that, during a visit to Armstrong’s Nepean office this month, that the signs ordered by the college were indeed up.

Skate the Lake carves up the Big Rideau for another year he remarked.

“We have an ideal day and it’s loads of fun,” Bongers added.

The ice was in near-perfect condition as well, thanks in part to a mild spell a few days before the event. “Again this year we have amazing ice,” Bongers said. “The warmer weather last Sunday smoothed everything out for us.”

Bongers was even more excited by the increasingly popularity in the sporting event. “...Our online registration showed that 40 per cent of the people registering have never attended it, so that’s great,” he stated.

Community – Hundreds of metal blades heated up the ice on Big Rideau Lake in Portland Saturday, Jan. 24 for the 11th edition of Skate the Lake.

Despite strong winds, the mild weather provided perfect conditions for the international speed skating marathon around a one-kilometre oval, presented

by Portland Outdoors. After Portland Outdoors president John Bongers officially cut the ice during the opening ceremonies, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark shot the pistol to kick off the first event of the day, the 5K race. It was followed by 10K, 25K and 50K distances.

Skate the Lake veteran Jake Maarse was a force again this year, claiming top spot in the 10K with a time of 24:04.864 and second in both the 5K and 25K. First in the 5K went to Paul McCloskey (11:40.616); Adrian Loewen earned gold in the 25K with a time of 55:02.366; and first in the 50K was Sergio Almeralla (1:54:48.956). Bongers also raced in the 50K, completing 50 laps around the oval in 2:24:37.461.

As he made the rounds Saturday morning chatting with visitors, Bongers said the event was a well-oiled machine, thanks to a large host of volunteers.

“Our volunteers have done an amazing job. I can’t believe how good things are going,”

Seconds after LeedsGrenville MP Gord Brown shot the pistol to kick off the 10K race for Skate the Lake Jan. 24 in Portland, skaters race down the 1K ice surface, above. Left, Canadian curler Rachel Homan, left, and Olympic rower Derek O’Farrell were special guests.

I grew up on a purebred dairy farm just south east of North Gower in the small village of Carsonby. I grew up with good values and was involved with showing cattle at all the local fairs and Toronto as well. In 1979 I got into the trucking industry and that career took me to some beautiful places and I made a great deal of friends over the years.In the summer of 2000 I had a career change that was brand new to me, I entered the car business. For just shy of 15 years I worked for another GM dealer selling new and used vehicles to many many people over the years.

As the 2014 year was winding down my thoughts were to try something different.

Well before I could even put on my thinking cap on the team at Myers Kemptville NEIL WILLIAMS and I sat down and now here I am. The idea of a small town that is growing at a steady rate and people that really like to be as helpful as they can be and the polite atmosphere that comes from a smaller store really appeals to me and my family. I look forward to working with many of you.

Olympic visit Speed skating wasn’t the only item on the menu at Skate the Lake, however. Visitors could enjoy a bowl of “snert” (a traditional Dutch pea soup) and a Skate Tail (Portland’s take on the Beaver Tail), play a game of shinny on the ice hockey rink, get some skating in or try their hand at curling. And who better to give some pointers than renowned Ottawa curler Rachel Homan, who, along with fellow Olympian Derek O’Farrell, made an appearance during the day.

It was some welcome down time for Homan, whose team

won the Scotties Tournament of Hearts championship in 2014 and is set to defend the title at this year’s event, beginning Feb. 14 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Her rink is currently the number three women’s curling team in the world.

“It’s my first year here,” Homan said, adding she was going to try to take a spin around the ice, but wasn’t sure if her skates were up to snuff. “It’s amazing ice; it looks perfect.”

Perhaps the ice on the Big Rideau didn’t agree with Homan as earlier in the morning, she and O’Farrell faced off against one another on the curling rink, with O’Farrell emerging as the victor.

“The fact that they have a curling rink here is pretty cool too,” Homan said.

“Except that you’re 0-1 today,” O’Farrell laughed.

This was O’Farrell’s second visit to Skate the Lake, having attended last year during chillier conditions.

“I’m just happy it’s not -10 million degrees!” he joked.

she said. Her daughter suffered from severe anxiety, stress and sleeplessness.

She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was put on anti-depressants that, she said, put her into the hospital. However, once her physical symptoms were treated, “within a month of treatment, it disappeared. Without treatment for the physical ailments, the mental health issues would have increased.”

She noted that she is not surprised that Armstrong was called before the college’s discipline committee.

“Any doctor who treats Lyme disease goes under investigation for one reason or another,” Lee charged, adding further that once Armstrong started treating Lyme disease that “is when she started to have legal problems… She’s

From page 4

Alicia Lee had recently parted ways with her own family doctor and Armstrong told her that, to continue seeing her, she needed to get a new family doctor before the end of the month.

“She has been telling all of her patients that, and the signs are up,” Lee said. “We don’t feel that this particular (Patient A) case… really impacts on her treatment of Lyme disease.”

Lee said she feels that Lyme disease often comes with a mental health aspect, in which she sees parallels with the Patient A case.

“Doctors want to treat that mental health issue (in a Lyme case) and they often neglect the physical ailments,”

2014 in The Perth Courier, Tom Bowes introduced Armstrong to the crowd gathered at St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Feb. 19, 2014, for her speech, entitled “Testing, Diagnosing and Treating Lyme: It’s Complicated.”

Bowes extolled the virtues of Armstrong’s work in treating him.

“She researches everything before she puts you on anything,” Bowes said.

In explaining how she practices environmental medicine, Armstrong, said that “we look at the root causes of illness, all of the things that can make people sick.” She added, “By treating underlying causes of illness… patients would usually get way better.”

There does not appear to be any bio-

not the first one that this (has) happened to. That sounds paranoid. But we’re finding that.”

In her research, she has seen several doctors across the country who have either retired, had their license suspended, or simply stopped taking Lyme cases, because of their challenge to Lyme disease orthodoxy.

“It’s never, ‘You have to stop treating Lyme disease.’ (It’s) you have to stop prescribing long-term antibiotics,” said Lee. “(But) I’m more interested in moving forward, more than looking into these conspiracies.” Besides, “I don’t have any evidence. It’s all anecdotal…

It’s unfortunate that she had to be distracted by that (case).”

In an article published on Feb. 27,

graphical information for Armstrong on her clinic’s website (though there is still a picture of her), the Ottawa Environmental Health Clinic, but a biographical sketch posted on the web site of the Ottawa-based Canadian Institute of Child Health, posted in 2007, said that she was, at the time, president of the Canadian Society for Environmental Medicine (CSEM) and sat on the board of directors of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM), based in Wichita, Kansas.

There does not appear to be a web site for the CSEM but contact details found online list the address as being the same as Armstrong’s clinic. Armstrong is not listed as a 2014-15 member of the AAEM’s board of directors.

Smiths Falls takes trophy in kettle campaign challenge Monday and Friday, luncheons will be scaled back to the first Monday of the month and every Friday in Smiths Falls starting this February.

In order to balance the books last year, programming in Perth was cut, staff laid off and facilities combined.

Today, the Perth thrift store can be found at 95 Wilson Street West beside the tracks and across from Foodsmiths.

“The stores are the only other real fundraiser we have to keep the social work going,” Major Cameron said.

A new fundraiser is planning to be introduced this coming year, but details will be made available at a later date.

Currently, Major Cameron and one other staff member carry the Salvation Army social services caseload. The organization is working to not only provide immediate support, but to address the issues that cause these situations.

Coming up this year, the Salvation Army will be partnering with United Way of Lanark County to offer Low Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) and after hours emergency housing.

News – Smiths Falls council is ringing the bell in celebration after earning the Christmas Bell Ringer Trophy.

The annual friendly competition pits the council members of Smiths Falls ($1,787.69), Beckwith ($672.55), Perth ($561.42), Merrickville ($492.72), Mississippi Mills ($959.23) and Carleton Place ($1,113.68) against each other to see who raises the most in one day for the non-profit organization. Accumulatively, the area politicians raised $5,587.29 this year of which $1,787.69 came from Smiths Falls. Last year, Beckwith won the trophy.

Coun. Jay Brennan of Smiths Falls remarked “how giving people seemed to be that day. It’s a competition, but the real winner is the Salvation Army.”

Merrickville was given a special mention as their volunteers worked outdoors in three shifts that day to raise their funds. Everyone who took part in the unique fundraiser enjoyed his or her time Dec. 13, including Carleton Place mayor Louis Antonakos.

“It really was a lot of fun,” Antonakos added. “Next year is this council and we’re going to win.”

Carleton Place OPP took home the emergency services award for the third straight year in a row. Last December their volunteers, which included auxiliary officers and community services officer, Sean Trahan, raised $2,801.42.

“There were some really generous people that day,” Sgt. Rob Croth of the Carleton Place OPP added. “We’ll definitely be back next year to help out.”

Other emergency services donations include: Perth OPP (1,304.81), Smiths Falls OPP ($635.16) and Smiths Falls Police Services ($304.35).

Sgt. Croth acknowledged Const.

Dave Bird of Perth OPP who initially got the Carleton Place detachment involved in the fundraising initiative.

“Dave recognized that the Salvation Army were short on volunteers,” Sgt. Croth said.

The kettle campaign is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Salvation Army and assists them in offering a number of programs to the region, including crisis assistance, a food pantry, community luncheons, and access to camp for children. While a national organization, each Salvation Army site is responsible for raising its own operational funds and receives no outside donations from other organizations. This

Butting out for good

ditorial – Quitting smoking can be one of the hardest things we face, but lucky for Lanark County and Leeds-Grenville residents, help is here.

The province of Ontario recently announced a new initiative, MyQuit.ca, designed to personalize the process of quitting smoking for people. Recognizing that every smoker’s journey is different and a one-size-fits-all approach may not work for all, MyQuit.ca was developed by former smokers and healthcare professionals involving eight health partners from across eastern Ontario. Locally, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is rolling out the program.

The process seems quite user-friendly, with smokers able to access information and services through a website or just by making a phone call. Telephone coaching, online support and one-on-one, as well as group sessions can also aid in the journey towards butting out that bad habit.

Best of all, it’s free, so there’s no ex-

cuse for putting off that new year’s resolution for another year. With a variety of options, you can create a quit smoking plan that works for you.

According to the Ontario Lung Association, one in five Ontarians still smokes and tobacco is the cause of 13,000 premature deaths across the province each year. George Habib, president and chief executive officer of the association says that “it remains Canada’s leading cause of preventable illness and death.”

Over the years, the Smoke-Free Ontario Act has been put in place with legislation that no longer allows smokers to light up in public places. As of Jan. 1 of this year, another regulation is being enforced restricting smoking on children’s playgrounds or publicly-owned sports fields, as well as bars and restaurant patios. Tobacco sales are also prohibited on university and college campuses. The province has taken a strong stand, showing that it’s no longer a smoker’s world.

However, habits are hard to break, but they bend a little easier with support.

Freshly fallen snow was perfect for wagon wheel game Lifestyle – It had snowed heavily through the night, and when we got to the Northcote School, Cecil was holding fort at the front gate. “Don’t walk in the yard... stay on the path to the door,” he instructed all of us as we neared the school.

good humour, excused Emerson and Cecil long before recess so they could go out and stamp out the wheel in the new snow. They came in just as the rest of the pupils were told they could get on their winter garb and go outside.

Our recess back then was only 15 minutes long, but that was time enough for all of us to have a quick run around the wheel, with the promise from Cecil that we would get down to a more serious game when it came lunch time.

All the while he kept warning us not to put a foot off the path leading to the wheel, or to step off the wheel or spokes or we would have him to deal with.

Finally, the big CPR clock at the front of the room told it was lunchtime. We ate up in a hurry,

because we couldn’t wait to get outside to the wheel in the snow.

Cecil and Emerson were the first to head out the door, and the roars we heard from outside could be witnessed over in Admaston!

Dillon Hillier returns home from volunteer fight against Islamic State desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News - Dillon Hillier, the son of local MPP Randy Hillier, has returned home to Canada.

The Canadian army veteran, who saw a tour of duty in Afghanistan with the Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry (PPLI), went to fight against the Islamic State (IS) in Iraq in November.

It was obvious he had had a good run first. He had followed the scent of his owner round and round, and he came to rest on the hub, and you couldn’t tell where the spokes ended and the rim began. The snow game had been ruined.

It wasn’t unusual for Cecil’s old Collie to appear at the Northcote School. Often we would come out of the school, and see him sitting on the step waiting for Cecil.

As far as Cecil was concerned Sport (it seemed to me back then that everyone had a dog called Sport) could do no wrong. Well, that day Sport’s owner was not at all pleased!

“Git,” Cecil yelled. “Git home with you.” Well, it seemed Sport knew an order from his owner when he heard it.

But instead of going out to the gate by the path, he took another cut around the yard, with his belly close to the ground, and whatever was left

Hillier added that Dillon would now be “taking time to readjust and reunite with friends and family at home before he is available for any further public comment or availability.”

Dillon had gone over to serve with the Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in northern Iraq last November.

“I’ve wanted to do something like this for years,” Dillon wrote in a battlefield interview with The Perth Courier. “Fighting for the Kurds is a good cause.”

He praised his Kurdish brothers in arms, calling them “a professional

of the big wheel in the snow was gone forever.

Cecil and my brother Emerson went and hung from the gate, which had been opened, and it would stay that way for the rest of the winter.

I wasn’t too disappointed in the turn of events, because I couldn’t run fast enough through the deep snow to avoid being caught, and all the time we played the game, I never once was the chaser in snow tag.

It remained clear and cold for days, and the mutilated wheel did little to make Cecil or Emerson any more easy to get along with. They mostly hung out at the gate at recess and lunch time, and days later Velma said she knew for a fact Sport was kept in the cow byre, as the two boys waited patiently for another heavy snowfall.

Community – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBSLC) is excited to once again be partnering with the local Tim Hortons restaurants for the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake event on Feb. 21. Last year this event raised more than $80,000, with more than 700 bowlers coming out to support the event.

Smiths Falls Tim Hortons’ owner, Tanya Bond and her team enjoy lacing up their shoes and bowling for this fun event.

Tim Hortons has been a great title sponsor for BBBSLC as well as many other Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies in eastern Ontario. Tim Hortons not only financially supports Big Brothers Big Sisters in the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake event, they also promote the event, collect pledges, provide prizes and complimentary drink coupons, and bowl during the event.

According to Dave and Lisa Peters, Carleton Place Tim Horton owners, “Our employees are very excited about Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake. They enjoy raising funds and bowling as a team; knowing they are improving the lives of local children.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is a not for profit volunteer driven organization which helps children develop to their unique potential through consistent, dependable and unconditional adult friendship.

“We really appreciate Tim Hortons being our title sponsor for this cornerstone event that accounts for a large portion of our annual budget,” said Beth Sinclair, resource development manager of BBBSLC. With the help of Tim Hortons’ title sponsorship, more mentoring programs are able to be funded.

We are proud to be the title sponsor of the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake event because we know that the funds donated and raised provide more children with mentors, according to Liz Wood, Smiths Falls Tim Horton’s manager.

The pair’s visit was made possible through the RBC Olympians program.

“They (RBC) are a sponsor of the event and brought us in to try to reach out to kids in the community,” O’Farrell said.

Following the individual competitive races, a 5 X 1K relay race was held with “The Snurf Chasers” of Syracuse, New York (captained by Isabel Crovella) taking first place. Second went to “Cat in the Hat” of Ottawa, with Pegi CrawfordNewlands as captain; and third place was a tie between “Harmony Landing” (local captain Eric Steigerwauld) and “Chairman of the Board”, captained by Rebecca Chant, who got some help from O’Farrell.

As the competitive races concluded by early afternoon, visitors could also take a sleigh ride, take part in the Special Olympics skate, sponsored by RBC or try out the Kids 5K race for those under 12. In the boys category, first went to Lucius Peladeau, second to Josh Mohns and Aden Dube was third. Representing the girls, Sarah Corvella earned first place, followed by Isobel Corvella in second and Hannah Mohns in third.

After a full day spent on the ice, music and a laser light show by DJ Johnny 5 kept the party going into the evening, which was capped off with a fireworks display.

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

Campus. The appointment was at 8:15 on a Monday morning. I knew the traffic on the drive in to the city would be bedlam.

I’m of Irish descent and therefore I’m a great believer in Murphy’s Law. “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”

So after a good weather weekend – cold but no precipitation – flurries fell overnight Sunday and continued into the early morning hours of Monday. Coupled with a stiff breeze from the north, I knew when I stepped out the door that this wasn’t going to be a pleasant drive. My ABS brakes confirmed that at the first intersection. It was really greasy!

Fortunately I had thought to top up my windshield wiper fluid reservoir. That turned out to be a very good move.

Endless tail lights Highway 7 becomes four lanes at McNeely Ave. in Carleton Place. It was 6:30 a.m. when I set off and in the winter morning darkness the picture which greeted me was truly amazing.

Ahead stretched an endless string of red tail lights, as far as the eye could see. Considering that some 70 per cent of the workforce from Carleton Place toils in Ottawa and its expansive suburbs, I shouldn’t have been surprised.

Fortunately the traffic was moving although with flurries flying and the wind whipping the dry snow across the eastwest artery the speed was averaging 70 kilometres per hour (kph) rather than the usual 100-plus on the busy road.

Anyone who knows Ottawa knows the Riverside Hospital isn’t easy to access. The facility is located on Riverside Drive, east of Bank St. in one of the busiest sections of the nation’s capital.

So, which route to take?

My decision was made for me when, nearing the Stittsville turn-off the traffic slowed considerably approaching the Highway 417 interchange. I was driving bumper to bumper.

I knew I didn’t have time to sit in the traffic jam on the Queensway, as locals call the main highway that bisects

Ottawa.

I decided to take Hazeldean Road, Robertson Road and then Baseline Road. Baseline eventually links with Riverside Drive on which the hospital is located.

Once I was off Highway 7 there was less traffic but the going was more treacherous.

The higher the traffic volume during a snow storm, the more white stuff is blown off the road surface.

Traffic lights were the big problem and as I watched the minutes melt from the dashboard clock I wondered if I would make it on time? It was already 7 a.m. as I made my way past Stittsville and toward Hazeldean.

The road was slippery and some of the commuter jockeys weren’t using their heads which made it even more dangerous.

Speeding, lane hopping (without using indicators) and tailgating are an epidemic on our roads.

Combine bad driving with poor weather and the risk of collision climbs exponentially.

Leaving Bells Corners and approaching Baseline Road, I encountered a sudden obstacle.

A car stopped at a green light, not moving.

I wondered if the vehicle had stalled?

“Just my luck. He’s broken down in my lane,” I thought.

But the tail lights were on so I hit the horn. The male driver was startled into action and moved off, although ridiculously slowly. He too proceeded onto Baseline. At the next light the same thing happened.

“A distracted driver,” I said to myself.

To my consternation the motorist continued his herkyjerky course ahead of me.

Finally I saw an opening and moved to the left, driving past him. The man was so busy texting that he didn’t even see the raised finger that passed on his left. Unbelievable!

Considering all the traffic signals on Baseline and the speed of the tightly packed vehicles, I wasn’t making much progress. Time was flying past.

“Imagine having to fight this traffic every morning,” I said out loud.

I said some other things too

Final push By 7:55 I finally saw the Baseline-Riverside intersection ahead. But there was no advantage to be gained as the seemingly endless stream of vehicles moved doggedly toward downtown Ottawa.

I had also forgotten that on Baseline Road you have to pass Riverside Drive and move to the right to reach an access ramp. It was interesting but with the help of a couple of nice drivers, who slowed to give me space, I was able to complete the manoeuvre.

I managed to negotiate the busy intersection of Riverside and Bank and thanks to a userfriendly parking situation at the hospital I arrived in the nick of time.

I told my wife that by doing the 100-metre dash from the elevator to the clinic I arrived at the reception desk at 8:14 – one minute early.

The young lady who performed a vision test and put drops in my eyes told me she drives to Riverside Hospital every day from the Renfrew area. On this particular morning, in the bad weather, it took her three hours to complete the excursion.

I told her she must really love her job to “take that much punishment.” She smiled and nodded in the affirmative.

The good news is that after a thorough examination by the specialist and his staff there was no tear discovered in the deep recesses of my left eye.

The doctor told me the flashing lights I have been experiencing on and off for quite some time should eventually dissipate.

It also appears I won’t have to make that early morning odyssey again anytime soon.

I would not want to commute to and from Ottawa, or any other big city, on a daily basis. I don’t know how the regulars do it? I guess you can get used to anything. But it’s definitely not for me.

I have always loved working in Carleton Place where the “daily commute” is measured in minutes, not hours.

These days I work from my home office and I couldn’t be happier with the arrangement.

When snowstorms are raging and the freezing rain is slashing down I can look out the window and thumb my nose. Nowhere to go and all day to get there! It suits me just fine.

Lifestyle – It is just before 7 in the morning and I am on my way to an important eye appointment in Ottawa. I’m heading east on Highway 7 and it is snowing and blowing to beat the band. I’m listening to Mark Sutcliffe and his morning co-host Shelley McLean, on CFRA radio, in hopes of getting a traffic update.

Mark: “Now here’s Shelley with the latest traffic update.”

Shelley: “Thanks Mark.

There are a few trouble spots on the roads this morning with flurries still flying. There’s a car in the median on Highway 416 just north of Kemptville. A vehicle has struck the curb on Woodroffe Avenue near Carling and police are dealing with a fender bender on the Parkway, eastbound near Island Park Drive.

“All routes are slower than usual this morning due to snow and blowing snow. On the 417 east, traffic is crawling from the split westbound. In the west it’s stop and go from Carp Road, eastbound all the way to Bayshore.”

So, not exactly a great report.

I’m a regular user of Highway 7, driving to and from our home in Carleton Place to Stittsville and Kanata to visit family or do business.

There is no question the four-lane Highway 7 is a huge advantage. Unless you are travelling at rush hour that is. I don’t drive to or from Ottawa during rush hour unless I absolutely have to. This was one of those rare occasions.

Regular commuters will tell you the relatively recent widening of Highway 7 is of limited use at rush hour. “It gets you to the jam earlier,” they say wryly.

“The jam” is the daily stop and go traffic on busy Highway 417 as the commuter army from the west descends on Kanata and downtown Ottawa. The same situation is repeated late in the day when the homeward march is in full swing.

I’m rarely on Highway 416, which connects Ottawa with communities to the south including fast growing Kemptville and Prescott.

However, from all accounts it is a little more user friendly. Until it connects with Highway 417, that is!

On this occasion I had no choice but to join the masses and try to make my way. There was concern that I might have a small tear inside my left eye, so I was quickly referred by my local optometrist to a specialist at the Ottawa Hospital, Riverside

Maude Barlow addresses future of freshwater at gala in Perth News – Renowned author and citizens’ advocate Maude Barlow delivered an inspiring message about freshwater resources at the inaugural Watersheds Gala on Thursday, Jan. 22 in Perth. “’Anything else you are interested in is not going to happen if you can’t breathe the air and drink the water,’” she said, quoting Carl Sagan. “’Don’t sit this one out. Do something. You are by accident of fate alive at an absolutely critical moment in the history of our planet.’”

“The Future of Our Freshwater” event was a fundraiser for Watersheds Canada, known as the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds since 2002.

Almost 200 people were on hand at Code’s Mill on the Park for the unveiling of CSW’s new brand identity as Watersheds Canada, along with news of an agreement penned with the Canadian Wildlife Federation to package one of its key programs, Love Your Lake, on a national platform.

Executive director Barbara King indicated the new identity will help support the organization’s growth and future success as a registered Canadian charity. “We chose to take this opportunity to rebrand our organization to better represent our national scope of protecting and restoring our freshwater environments,” she said.

Love Your Lake is a shoreline assessment and stewardship program that gives landowners resources to help improve the health of their shorelines and lakes. Another Watersheds Canada program is The Natural Edge, which is a shoreline naturalization program for waterfront property owners to help them restore shorelines with native foliage along the water’s edge.

As part of her keynote address at the gala, Barlow, who is the national chairperson of the Council of Canadians, author, co-founder of the Blue Water Project and Senior Advisor on Water to the President of the United Nations General Assembly, emphasized the global water crisis and water security are threats to the planet.

“Close to a billion people in our world don’t have access to clean water,” she said. “It is the biggest killer

The Centre for Sustainable Watersheds, now known as Watersheds Canada, held its first Watersheds Gala on Jan. 22 at Code’s Mill on the Park in Perth. Above, almost 200 people were on hand for the unveiling of Watershed Canada’s new identity. Renowned author and citizens’ advocate Maude Barlow, right, was the keynote speaker, emphasizing the global water crisis and water security threats around the globe. of children…every 3.5 seconds a child dies from a water-borne illness.”

She highlighted water supply as a global issue, citing the loss of half the rivers in China since the 1990s and the consequences of the loss of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil leading to a country in water crisis. She emphasized the importance of not treating water as a resource, but as a necessity that has to be nurtured.

“We have no national drinking water standards, which is a particular issue in First Nation communities, and we have no national standards on sew-

age disposal. The federal government has taken steps to remove some of the laws we do have,” Barlow stated.

She noted Ontario has already lost 72 per cent of its watersheds and called for the “critical” need for a crackdown on water-taking permits, the development of water budgets and restrictions on what kinds of materials and chemicals are transported on the Great Lakes.

“There could not be a more important time for you to support Watersheds Canada,” she said. “I pledge my support…I urge you to support this

wonderful group.”

Barlow urged the creation of citizen-based water watchers and called for “a new water ethic that considers the impact on water whenever developing policies…We have to change our relationship with water quickly.”

Barlow left the audience considering four things people can do to protect water. First is to “conserve, protect and restore watersheds” by not moving water, not dumping waste into it and by providing a long-term assessment of watersheds.

“When we give nature a chance, it

comes back,” she said. “If you know you have limited resources, come together and set limits.”

Secondly, she urged the enforcement of existing water protection laws and to re-instate the ones that have been lost. This includes creating national standards for drinking water and sewage, as well as conducting groundwater mapping.

Thirdly, with industrial farming and food production using massive amounts of water, she condoned growing “our food in a more local and sustainable way” as well as examining trade agreements for the movement of water in products that are traded.

Finally, she urged people to recognize that water has rights, too. “Water belongs to the earth, other species and the future…Current laws see nature as property. Nature needs to be at the heart of our laws.”

The master of ceremonies for the event was Michael Runtz, a leading Canadian professor, naturalist, nature photographer and natural history author. He expressed his love for water because it supports the things he loves most in his way of life.

“Water supports nature. Water is an amazing part of our environment, and by being here we are helping to support it,” he noted.

The gala was supported by sponsors Freshwater Future, Leo Adams Investments, McIntosh Perry, MEC, the Sharbot Group Inc. and TD Canada Trust, as well as dozens of contributors for silent auction items.

Full Circle Theatre turns up the heat with August: Osage County play this February ing comparison – and for very exciting theatre.

The Full Circle Theatre (FCT) has been full to the brim lately with a string of sold-out or nearly sold-out concerts and movie events. Film Night International, with a near record turnout for their winter series opener last week, will return Feb. 4 with the American film Love Is Strange, starring Alfred Molina and John Lithgow, while music returns to FCT on Feb. 25 when Charles MacPhail presents Dave Gunning in concert.

Sliding in between, though, August: Osage County is bleeding-edge theatre that pulls no punches. Audiences should know that it contains STRONG language, but, at the same time, makes you laugh at it anyway. Don’t shy away from what may seem like a dark show – this is theatre you will be glad you have seen.

All the information about tickets and times for all events at Full Circle Theatre is at www.barndoorproductions.ca or you can call 613-267-1884.

Start making plans for cope with AuAshley Kulp/METROLAND gust in February at Full Circle Theatre Community – Fight Night to benefit local hockey player Neil Doef was held at the Smiths Falls Econolodge – it could be a flood!

Submitted by BarnDoor Produc- Jan. 24. Prior to the main event, junior combat trainers with zendragon of Smiths Falls, got to show off their tions. skills. Above, Logan Lumsden, left, faces off against Nick Lackey.

Arts – It’s -22 degrees as we write this, but February promises to be blistering hot at Full Circle Theatre when Tracy Letts’ astonishing dark comedy, August: Osage County, becomes BarnDoor Productions’ 99th show.

Letts’ play won nearly every award there was to be won for its premiere in 2008: the Tony Award for Best Play, the Drama Desk Award, the New York Critics’ Circle Award, the Theatre World Award – and the Pulitzer Prize for drama.

For a comedy to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize is nearly unheard of, but it was felt that the show had the depth required to be considered for the most prestigious American literary award there is.

Don’t let the recent, star-studded movie version of the show influence you. The movie lost track of where it was going, but the play is very much a comedy, although a dark and a razor sharp one. You will laugh and chuckle and then say, “Oh, should I have done that?” That is what makes the show so remarkable: it presents situations that make people laugh out loud, and then asks them to wonder why they did. The New York Times called it “Gripping and ferociously funny” and it is.

With a cast of 13, BarnDoor Productions (BDP) has had to stretch its resources, but found a strong group of players, both familiar faces and newcomers to BDP, who are tackling the intricate dialogue and action of the show. The show is set in modern-day Oklahoma – Osage County, Oklahoma, in fact – but it tells a family story that has roots deep in the Dust Bowl of the Depression – while being as up-to-date as a cell phone.

The show was deliberately chosen to be a companion piece to BarnDoor Productions’ season-closer. Ending their 20th anniversary season with their 100th production, BDP have chosen Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. August: Osage County and Death of a Salesman are two Pulitzer Prize winning takes on the American Dream, separated by 60 years and half a continent. The similarities and differences between these two much-honoured plays make for interest-

Depp’s latest film jaw-droppingly funny Trivia challenge attracting new teams MOVIE: Mortdecai STARRING: Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Bettany, Ewan McGregor and Olivia Munn DIRECTOR: David Koepp RATING: 14A Entertainment – There are times when you go to the movies because you want to be moved. There are times when you want to be challenged. There are times when you want to think. Then there are the times when you go to see a film like Mortdecai.

When an art restorer is murdered and a famous painting is stolen there’s only one man British MI5 agent Martland (Ewan McGregor) can turn to. That man is Lord Charlie Mortdecai (Johnny Depp). He is in fact the last man Martland wants to turn to, but no one knows the seedy underbelly of the art world better than Mortdecai.

Mortdecai is reluctant to help.

Martland appeals to him as a loyal British subject, and when that doesn’t work he points out that Mortdecai and his wife Johanna (Gwyneth Paltrow) owe the British government $8 million in back taxes. Mortdecai then agrees

My Take

Mark haskins

to find the painting, for a modest finder’s fee of course.

Along with his trusty man servant and personal thug Jock (Paul Bettany) Mortdecai embarks to find the missing piece of art. A piece of art that Mortdecai soon learns is the key to uncovering secret bank accounts filled with Nazi gold. Mortdecai is shot at by a terrorist, chased down by Russians, and forced to endure the horrors of sunny California. It’s almost more than his man servant can handle.

Mortdecai is silly bordering on the absurd. It’s also hysterical bordering on genius. I haven’t seen anything quite like it since the Pink Panther (the original not the re-make with Steve Martin). It starts off innocently enough. You figure Mortdecai is a kind of buffoon who stumbles and bumbles around and thus the comedy. Then it sneaks up on you. It shocks you

and you’re almost stunned by its audacity and its outrageousness.

Sure the film is silly, but it revels in the fact. It owns it, and elevates silly to the level of art.

I’ve had some favourite casts over the years – Ocean’s 11, The Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter just to name a few. The cast of Mortdecai ranks right up there.

They’re funny and talented, but that isn’t it. It’s the way they click.

It’s the way they play off each other. They are so quick and so clever it makes you dizzy trying to keep up.

Ewan McGregor brilliantly and hilariously plays the love sick British agent. Olivia Munn is a great femme fatal. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Johanna with a wit and intelligence that’s almost evil it’s so good. Johnny Depp is like some kind of savant. His ability to create, and then dive into these wild characters is mind blowing. Paul Bettany is without a doubt my hero. Jock is hysterical, and Bettany steals the show.

Mortdecai is the kind of film that drops your jaw it’s so funny.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Community – It’s not too late to enter a team into the Friends of the Library’s 18th annual Trivia Challenge.

The fun fundraiser, which takes place in the Lancaster Room (main floor) at the Smiths Falls Legion, 7 Main Street, on Sunday, Feb. 8, has pulled in new teams this year. And the return of several former winners assures the competition will be intense. But openings are still available. Why not add to the fun?

Last year, everyone scored well with the top teams separated by only five points. “Trivial Recruits” (The Smiths Falls and District Hospital Team) emerged as first time winners. They won over “Absent Minds,” a team entered by Jim and Agnes McVeety, that had won in 2013.

Now, Friends chair Tom Foulkes indicates that at least three new entries are on the books: the Rotary Club is back in after a few years’ absence, joined by the

Railway Museum and Chimo School. “The Perthites” – winners three years ago – have also returned.

Maybe they’ve heard that organizers are going to repeat some of the same question categories, namely Popular Culture, History and Geography, and Potpourri, but are going to add two new ones ­– Rules and Special Occasions.

Will the new Trivia Challenge categories shift the balance of power?

The challenge starts at 1:30 p.m. sharp. Each team may have up to 10 players; the entry fee is $125 per team. Prizes for the winning team. All proceeds raised go towards children’s programs, equipment and materials for the library.

The Friends of the Library hope for a good turnout of funloving teams, all contributing to a very good cause. The bar will be open. Interested in participating? Contact the library at 613-

283-2911 or Tom Foulkes at 613-283-2706.

Stories from the Railway Feb. 7 And please note another event one day prior to the Trivia Challenge: the Friends of the Library are collaborating with the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario in presenting “The Hobo Life”, Stories from the Railway. Guest speakers are John Mulkerns, member of the National Association of Hobos and Terrence West, author of Not in My Father’s Footsteps.

The event takes place on Saturday, Feb. 7 at The Ivy on William, 42 William St. W., Smiths Falls, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Tickets $10/person can be pre-ordered online at www.rmeo.org or by calling the museum at 613-2835696. Come gain an insight into the challenges and uncertainties of riding the rails in search of work during the Great Depression.

He’s five and a half-yearsold and gets along with some ter after some time being outdoors. He did not do well living the feral life.

He arrived lethargic, in poor weight, had a poor coat and was in need of antibiotics to treat exposures. Joe Joe has come a long way in a short period of time.

He’s very handsome, regained his health, is playful and affectionate.

Pakenham Frost Festival concludes this weekend Community – “A great show”, “great music”, “so much talent”, “large attendance”, “tons of food” were just a few comments buzzing around the village of Pakenham after the first weekend of Pakenham Frost Festival activities Jan. 24 and 25.

Dave Kalil, Jenny Watters and Company and The Blair’s displayed incredible talent at several events.

The word is out and the final weekend of the Pakenham Frost Festival is well on its way.

A second round of euchre will be held on Thursday, Jan. 29 for a 7 p.m. start at Love that Barr at $5 per person. This time it’ll be 4-hand and everyone is welcome.

Friday, Jan. 30 Friday night will break all the records for exciting activities in Pakenham. The All-you-can-eat Fish ‘n Chips dinner will start the evening at 4:30 p.m. in the upper hall at the Stewart Community Centre; $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 years and younger.

A Pop-Up Museum, also in the hall, will feature a peek at Pakenham’s past. Amazing collections of early area maps, newspapers, photographs, scrapbooks and W.I. Tweedsmuir Histories will be on display.

Many of the local churches and businesses as well as individuals will proudly display their treasures. Spe-

cial emphasis will be memorabilia from both World Wars belonging to local families. Come out and see if you’re featured in someone else’s collections.

You’re also invited to join the Ryan family from the 12th Concession as they watch their father, John Ryan being honoured for his contributions to the community over many years. At 8:00 p.m. at centre ice, an appreciation ceremony will take place while the Cedar Hill Sunday School Choir will lead us in singing O Canada.

The Jr B hockey game between Almonte Thunder and the Arnprior Packers immediately follows.

Saturday, Jan. 31 The Cedar Hill gang will gather again to get the hot chocolate ready on Saturday at noon at the Pakenham Highlands Golf course for some great tobogganing.

Bring your own sled and come hang out with your friends.

The fishing derby will have started long before noon, but be sure to register at the Feed and Seed and bring your fish back to be weighed at 3 p.m. sharp to be eligible for prizes.

We’ll finish the long festivities off with the Frost Festival Pub Night, this year featuring Jen Grant from Yuk Yuks followed by the Ryans with some great dance music. A nominee for Best Female Comedian by the

Canadian Comedy Awards, Jen Grant has performed at all major festivals in Canada including the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, as well as the Halifax, Vancouver, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Winnipeg comedy festivals (many of which have aired on TV).

She can be heard on CBC Radio’s The Debaters, has taped her own half hour TV special on Comedy Now for CTV, was the first Canadian to reach the finals of the prestigious Boston Comedy Competition and had the honour of entertaining the Troops in the Middle East.

Originally from Ottawa, Grant does a clean show and her ability to weave her hilarious jokes with funny audience interaction is extraordinary.

If that isn’t enough in one evening, John O’Neill will host the raucously fun Bake Auction where Pakenham’s finest cakes and baked items will be on offer. The night will conclude with some fabulous dance music by The Ryans.

There is something for everyone.

Doors open at 8 p.m. in the Stewart Community Centre, upper hall. Costs for the event are $15/person or $25/ couple (not those listed on the poster) with pre-purchase at Nicholson’s.

Doors close at 11 p.m., so come early for a seat.

1966 Chevelle Malibu SS with 73,000 miles was found in a barn Lifestyle – Richard Finn of Charing Cross, Ont., writes: “We found our 1966 Malibu SS hardtop in a barn at RR #3, Kerwood, Ontario, in the spring of 1994. It has the factory 327275 hp engine, 4-speed tranny, 308 Posi rear end, original interior, and GM build sheet. This Canadian-built car was built on April 11, 1966, in Oshawa and shipped to Wills Motors in Caledonia on the 12th of April.

“When we found the car, it showed 73,000 miles and I had the motor rebuilt at 100,000 miles. Atchison of London bored the block 20 over and polished the crankshaft. Jim Spurgeon in Chatham did the camel back heads.

Evelyn and I enjoy going to car shows and cruises. The car still has the original 4-wheel drum brakes with Corvette rally rims.”

Richard and Evelyn’s 1966 Chevelle Malibu SS reflects the fierce competition among the Big Three in the 1960s.

All three launched a compact car in 1960: Ford with the Falcon, GM with the rear-engine Corvair, and Chrysler with the Plymouth Valiant. Studebaker actually led the pack with the Lark in 1959. All these compact cars had wheelbases around 109 inches when the full-sized cars of each company averaged around 119 inches.

In 1962, Ford and GM went after a new category of car called the midsize. Lots of people wanted something smaller than full-size but not so small

as a compact. Ford brought out the Fairlane at 115 inches (six inches more than the Falcon) and GM brought out the Chevy II at 110 inches (only two more inches than the Corvair but with a conventional front-mounted engine and rear wheel drive).

By 1964, GM decided that the Chevy II was not quite big enough to fully satisfy the demands of the midsize market and brought out the Chevelle with a wheelbase of 115 inches.

The Chevelle 300 was moderately priced for the budget-conscious buyer.

The Chevelle Malibu was fancier and included a hardtop and convertible.

Fancier still was the Chevelle Malibu SS. These three levels were instant hits and sold well.

By 1966, the Malibu SS continued its popularity with 72,300 built. As before, it was available with a six cylinder or a 283 V8 as standard equipment. Whoever bought the ’66 Chevelle Malibu SS brand new and owned today by Richard and Evelyn Finn of Charing Cross, Ontario, opted for the more powerful 327 cubic inch small block Chevy engine. A Chevelle 396 V8 was also available, but rear tires wore out very quickly on those models.

Trudeau’s ‘mullet’ London visit: business at the front, party at the back Desmond Peter Devoy

Opinion – (Editor’s note: Though he arrived in Canada in 1970 as an immigrant from Ireland, our occasional columnist, Desmond Peter Devoy, a London, Ont.-based freelance writer, only became a Canadian citizen in 2013 – missing out on voting in every federal election from 1972 to 2011. This year’s will be his first chance to vote in a national election. So, we decided to send him out into the election fray, as the parties gear up for the campaign, to get an up close look in preparation for his first vote. First up, the Liberals.)

Justin Trudeau was in London, Ont., on Jan. 20, attending the federal Liberal Party’s winter caucus, and addressing the media. I attended the latter event at the Hilton Hotel at 12:30 p.m.

The day started off well: I got a Doris Day parking spot, right out front. Free food was available, always a bonus for impoverished reporters.

As usual, old media friends greeted each other and neophytes became acquainted. One freelance cameraman told me that he took any work that came his way: sometimes he filmed ‘How To’ videos, but today he had been hired by CTV; tomorrow, he could be working for the CBC. Pointing at his thinning hair, he laughed that he wore many hats, which is why he never wore any.

We chatted about how portable electronic devices had greatly aided reporters in recent years, but he was taken aback by the multiple misspellings one finds in daily newspapers nowadays.

“Are there no present-day proofreaders?” he lamented.

In the scrum room, it was announced that a central microphone was to be used for all questions directed at Trudeau.

As reporters are sometimes longwinded and relentless, that sane plan was abandoned for an in-

sane one: everyone just shouted out questions. It was most…unCanadian. Half of the reporters present didn’t even get to ask a question in the allotted 15 minutes.

As he strode into the press room, there was no preliminary greeting, or warm-up from Trudeau. It was strictly a business-like exchange, between reporters wishing to elicit some substantial response to their probing questions, and a politician wishing to show his party’s platform in the best possible light. Trudeau wasn’t unfriendly, but a projection of his reputed charisma was not something that he was overly concerned with, in that setting, at that time.

Trudeau was asked his opinion about the budget being postponed. He answered that the prime minister had put all his eggs in one basket, that oil prices would remain high, and that now he was reacting to the price drop, and flailing. The fact that he had cancelled an important summit with the US and Mexico, and inexplicably delayed the budget until sometime in April, demonstrated that he really had no Plan B, since oil prices and revenues had dropped.

The Liberals have claimed that they have a better alternative to govern, but one reporter said that she doesn’t specifically know what Trudeau’s plan or platform is. The Liberal leader responded that he’d been particularly clear on one piece of it: the income-splitting plan, which gives $2 billion to the richest 15 per cent of Canadians, like “his family and mine.” If elected, Liberals would build support for the middle-class, providing an alternative based upon co-operation and collaboration, in a fiscally responsible way.

Most of the questions, however, concerned the fight against global terrorism and Trudeau’s response to that threat. Trudeau stressed that the Liberal Party

will always support Canadian troops, and their right to defend themselves, when they find themselves in harm’s way. He had always stood with the international community, in the pushback against global terrorists, but his disagreements with the prime minister, over the best way to do that, were well known. Harper had “made some statements” about the nature of the mission on the ground in Iraq, “that turn out not to be entirely truthful.”

Harper had established parameters for the mission, and these had been laid out, with great assurances, before the House of Commons. These parameters, Trudeau continued, had not been respected, and the prime minister owed it to Canadians to be forthright and honest; he hadn’t displayed openness and frankness, from the very beginning.

Trudeaumania two?

I went to the London Ukrainian Centre at 6 p.m. later that day, in order to observe the Liberal Party’s London rally, a lovein attended by about 300 of the party faithful from throughout the region. I anticipated seeing some elemental charisma displayed by the party leader, someone who has inspired confidence, and received admiration from ordinary people across the country, in spite of the fact that the NDP’s assertive Thomas Mulcair has more eloquence, and the Conservative’s stodgy Stephen Harper more experience. Despite such perceived advantages on the part of his rivals, Trudeau has surpassed Mulcair in popularity (except in Quebec) in many polls, and Trudeau’s Liberals have equalled or surpassed Harper’s Conservatives for the better part of a year, a fact which has baffled and enraged many Tory strategists. Attack ads by the Tories, which tried to insinuate that Trudeau was too young and unfocused to be prime minister, seem to have little effect – and may, in

What are the five signs of stroke?

Heart attack warning signs Thousands of Canadians die from heart attacks every year because they don’t receive medical treatment quickly enough. Learn to recognize the signs of a heart attack so you can react quickly to save a life It is important to understand that warning signs can vary from person to person and they may not always be sudden or severe. Although chest pain or discomfort is the most common symptom of a heart attack in both men and women, some people will not experience chest pain at all, while others will experience only mild chest pain or discomfort. Others may experience one symptom, while some experience a combination.

Stroke can be treated.

That’s why it is so important to recognize and respond to the warning signs.

Weakness Sudden loss of strength or sudden numbness in the face, arm or leg, even if temporary.

Trouble speaking Sudden difficulty speaking or understanding or sudden confusion, even if temporary.

Vision problems Sudden trouble with vision, even if temporary.

Headache Sudden severe and unusual headache.

Dizziness Sudden loss of balance, especially with any of the above signs.

If you experience any of these symptoms, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number immediately. If a person is diagnosed with a stroke caused by a blood clot, doctors can administer a clot-busting drug available only at a hospital, and only within a few crucial hours after symptoms begin.* That’s why it is very important to be able to recognize the 5 warning signs of stroke and immediately call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number.

Sweating

Discomfort in other areas of the upper body

Nausea

neck, jaw, shoulder, arms, back

Light-headedness

If you are experiencing any of these signs, you should call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number immediately, or have someone call for you. Keep a list of emergency numbers near the phone at all times. Stop all activity and sit or lie down, in whatever position is most comfortable. If you take nitroglycerin, take your normal dosage. If you are experiencing chest pain, chew and swallow one adult 325 mg tablet or two 80 mg tablets of ASA (acetylsalicylic acid, commonly referred to as Aspirin®).

Pain medicines such as acetaminophen (commonly known as Tylenol®) or ibuprofen (commonly known as Advil®) do not work the same way as ASA (Aspirin®) and therefore will not help in the emergency situation described above. Rest comfortably and wait for an ambulance with emergency medical personnel to arrive.

Liberal-red fez). I was gently and playfully upbraided for simply wearing basic black. However, as I hadn’t worn anything orange or blue, my unfortunate oversight was quickly forgiven.

Many of Trudeau’s caucus were in attendance, including Ottawa South MP David McGuinty (Dalton’s brother.) We had both attended the Ontario Liberal Party’s leadership convention in 1996, at the old Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto – myself as a press photographer, he, naturally, supporting his brother’s campaign for the leadership. Like two veterans, we swopped stories about how exciting and nerve-wracking that convention had been, and how tension had built steadily over 12 hours, culminating in his brother’s win. After defeating a half-dozen opponents, and after five ballots, Dalton had emerged victorious at the unheard of, mindnumbing hour of 5:15 a.m.

At the appointed half-hour, Ontario DeputyPremier and MPP Deb Matthews (London North Centre) greeted the crowd.

“Canadians are hungry,” she said, “for a Prime Minister who reflects their values…for a government that restores Canada’s place in the world.” To sustained applause, she confided: “I’ve got good news. I’ve got a good idea who that prime minister might be.” An excited buzz ran through the crowd, as all waited eagerly for their party leader’s appearance.

Then Trudeau emerged from backstage, but it took him five minutes to reach the lectern, so overwhelming was the response from the cheering, chanting, hand-grasping throng that bordered his path. Framed by an enormous, wall-mounted Canadian flag, he began his speech by noting that this rally was being held in London’s Ukrainian Centre, and he expressed support, on behalf of all Canadians, to the people of Ukraine, and their recent trials at the hands of Russian invaders.

“All Canadians stand with them,” Trudeau added, “and offer them our steadfast support (to the Ukraine.)”

Trudeau first addressed some local issues.

“There are fewer full-time jobs in London, than there was a decade ago,” he noted. “Even though the population has increased by 20 per cent.” He talked of meeting a London-born married mother who is soon to lose her job at Target, along with 1,700 others across the country. Harper does not appear to care that manufacturing jobs are drying up, Trudeau claimed, and has ignored what has always made Canada prosperous: “Diversity, balance, and partnership between regions and sectors.” A plan was needed to get Canadian-made products to export markets, but the Tories were more concerned with oil revenues. Oil prices had gone through the floor, and the Tories had no back-up plan, he repeated.

Staying very much on message, Trudeau said that Harper’s priority was to give a $2 billion inPhoto courtesy of Desmond Peter Devoy come-splitting gift to wealthy Canadians.

“On Wednesday, Jan. 14, the finance minister Federal Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau signs a copy of his recently-published memsaid that oil prices would have no effect on the oir, Common Ground, surrounded by supporters at a London rally on Jan. 20. budget. On Thursday, he changed his mind, and delayed the budget. The Tories seem to be making it up as they go along. I’m a teacher,” Trudeau added, “and these excuses are the equivalent of: ‘The dog ate my homework.’”

0 In conclusion, Trudeau stated: “This govern225/60 ment will never change. This year, if we work hard, SOLD Canadians will change the government.”

Trudeau then left the stage and engaged in a prolonged, palm-pressing, troop-rallying encounter with more than 100 people, who milled around NEEDS YOUR HELP TO PROVIDE URGENTLY NEEDED him.

Hospital’s excellence in care could be replicated overseas sroy@perfprint.ca

News - The excellence in care at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital could be copied and put on a plane to help the people of the Republic of Guinea and Ghana.

Last Wednesday, Jan. 21, executives from Kallo Inc. in Markham, Ont., toured the Smiths Falls hospital site to learn its secrets of excellence in health care delivery.

“This kind of exposure is really good for us. The more that we learn from sites like this… the more that we can inject that early in our planning,” said Dr. Marion Lyver, chief medical officer of Kallo Inc. “You guys are one of the good sites.”

Beverley McFarlane, president and CEO of the local hospital commented in a press release: “Anytime we can share with our community that we are an organization that serves as a good example of healthcare is a valued compliment.”

Last April, the local hospital received exemplary standing from Accreditation Canada. The Ontario firm has been asked to extend dialysis services, rural and mobile care over five years in Ghana. However, their major project is a $200 million contract by the Republic of Guinea. The project scope includes building a permanent hospital with a maximum bed capacity of 120, provide many of the services our local hospital provides with a particular focus on maternal health for babies and mothers. Al Quadros, vice president, global operations at Kallo Inc. said they are building 15 polyclinic centres dedicated to the issue of maternity.

Within their two-year contract Kallo Inc. will develop the hospital and supply it, set up 10 mobile care centres which

will be connected to satellite, have a generator and a potable water supply, established ambulances and one air ambulance. The hospital is being built in Canada and shipped in pieces to the Republic of Guinea.

“We have a huge task ahead of us,” Quadros added. “They have little or nothing” in healthcare infrastructure.

This was the case when the company began discussions with the Republic of Guinea and has only deepened following the outbreak of Ebola. Quadros said a more worrying issue is the spread of malaria in the region. The average life span for a Guinea male is 54 years old; in Ghana it’s late 50s. Quadros hopes the system they will implement will help to head off future outbreaks and control those that do happen.

“I think it just makes our service even more critical,” Lyver added.

One of the biggest tasks for Kallo Inc. will be to fulfill the training component of their contract. Training staff to operate the infrastructure they put in place is a tall order given lack of electrical infrastructure and other obstacles.

Michele Bellows, vice president of patient care services at PSFDH completed a two-week training session in Ethiopia when she was finishing up her academic training. She learned after the first day on the ground to meet her peers where they were, which meant a complete rewrite of the training manuals.

“The expectations of the developed world need to be thrown out,” Bellows added. “It was probably the neatest two weeks of my life. It was so eye-opening.”

Access to services is another challenge the team will tackle with mobile units and the use of telehealth appointments. Chris Barry, director of profes-

Staff at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital welcomed executives from Kallo Inc. Jan. 21. The Ontario firm has health care contracts in both Ghana and the Republic of Guinea. From left to right: Michele Bellows, Nancy Shaw, and Brian Allen of the sional services and product development at Kallo Inc. noted they will be opening a regional response centre to allow for telehealth and improved access to specialists. The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital does have the capability for telehealth services, but Bellows said it is currently under-utilized.

ing the active board and volunteer base of approximately 120 strong in Smiths Falls. Hospital staff estimates this is the equivalent of 20 to 25 full-time staff.

“The auxiliary is really a huge part of the family that is here,” McFarlane added. “I’m very lucky that we do have a board that’s very functional.”

Lyver liked the idea of a local board to provide consistency in direction, but

News – The case involving a Mississippi Mills man facing theft charges will head to judicial pre-trial following a second court date Jan. 26.

Gerry Huddleston has been charged with the theft of $4,000 of property from the Almonte General Hospital (AGH)/Fairview Manor (FVM) Foundation and knowingly attempting to cause Theresa Keil to deal with a forged deposit record as though it were genuine. His lawyer, Craig Rogers, was present at the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth on Jan. 26 to schedule a judicial pre-trial on behalf of his client.

Huddleston’s case will once again appear at the Perth courthouse in Courtroom 3 on Friday, Feb. 13 at 12:30 p.m. for the judicial pre-trial, an off-the-record meeting between the defence

lawyer and the Crown attorney, overseen by a judge or justice of the peace. Counsel will discuss all aspects of the case, including how the presiding judge would rule if the case was tried as presented and the likely sentence. The pretrial judge is not the same judge who would oversee the actual trial.

While pre-trial discussions are conducted in Chambers and are confidential, members of the public are welcome to gather in the courtroom to hear any outcome made public afterwards. An additional court date is also often set immediately following the judicial pre-trial.

Huddleston is also scheduled for an arraignment hearing on Monday, Feb. 23, where he is expected to enter his plea if he has not yet done so.

None of the charges against Huddleston have been proven in court.

Smoking fire on Golf Club Road keeps fire fighters busy STAFF

News – Smiths Falls Fire Department responded to a fire call in Rideau Lakes Township on Tuesday, Jan. 20 due to its proximity to the town’s border.

A Golf Club Road fire resulted in a call to the Rideau Lakes Fire Department around 9:30 a.m. but because of an auto-aid contract with the town, Smiths Falls was brought in as well.

Jason Smiths, acting fire chief with the Town of Smiths Falls, said they are in a contract-situation with the township to provide auto-aid and suppression.

“They’re the lead fire department on this one

direction of no increase in light of the many projects that must be accomplished. She asked staff what an increase would be considering all the items they outlined as requirements.

“We can’t just not do so many of these things that are critical to the well being of our community,” Allen said.

Council has verbally supported $50,000 for implementation of the Community Improvement Plan (CIP). These funds will be coming from a 2014 surplus from the economic development department’s budget. Morris’ recommendation to create a reserve fund for the CIP so not all of the $50,000 need to be tied up if not needed was accepted by councillors.

The budget also has the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario added for $50,000 and an unknown amount for eight months salary for a manager of economic development. The town has been without this leadership in the economic development department for some time and Mayor Shawn Pankow expressed concern that the town was missing opportunities without this manpower.

“I’d like to start on that immediately,” he said.

Morris confirmed staff is currently developing the role’s description for advertisement and that this process could begin right away.

The final item Maloney brought up as something

and we were there to offer aid,” Smith said.

Smiths Falls provided eight fire fighters to battle the blaze, which took them about four hours, Smith said.

Montague also responded to the call.

“There was a lot of smoke,” Smith said. “The fire was in the basement.”

There is no word on the cause of the fire at this time, and the fire chief from Rideau Lakes had not responded to a request for an interview.

The home belongs to Jim and Eileen Crosbie, who both declined to speak with the newspaper.

“I’d rather not talk about it,” Jim Crosbie said.

in need of a contingency fund was the Hub pool.

Noting the emergency funding request will come back in a month’s time, and ultimately a request for ongoing funding will likely follow, Maloney urged his peers to put some funds away for this day.

“I don’t know if we’re being responsible if we at least don’t mention it,” Maloney said.

Cummings responded with the harsh reality: “If you want to put it in then you have to accept a tax increase.”

Janet Koziel, assistant treasurer said she is sure a surplus from the 2014 budget will be realized, but couldn’t confirm the exact amount, adding in later conversation it could be in the order of $108,000.

Koziel said the town’s final audit report won’t be finished until Feb. 9 and Lanark County’s final numbers for 2014 won’t be known until March 12.

It is anticipated a surplus could be seen there as well. Another wild card is the infrastructure funding applications for the stone arch bridge and Foster Avenue, which won’t be known until mid-February. Town staff has said gas tax funding could cover the bare necessities for the bridge, but the $475,000 price tag for Foster Avenue would have to be found somewhere for that project to move ahead. It is listed as a top priority for this year in the town’s Asset Management Plan.

Council will not call another budget meeting until March when many of these figures will be known. At that time staff will present their proposed pathway to a zero per cent tax increase.

Community organizations make their case for funding

vices such as Lanark County Mental Health and the sexual assault and domestic violence program to name a couple.

“We do have a good net in the community,” McFarlane said.

This was noted by all in the room as a real asset to the local healthcare system.

“The key trend we keep seeing in organizations your size is those partnerships,” Barry said.

Nancy Shaw, vice president of clinical services at PSFDH said the move to collaboration is born out of sheer necessity.

“If we were working in silos we potentially couldn’t operate,” Shaw said.

The local hospital takes this philosophy in house by splitting services between the two sites.

“We are one hospital and a long hallway,” McFarlane said referring to Hwy. 43.

Together Smiths Falls Tracey Pankow, president of Together Smiths Falls, accepted Quinn’s comments, but noted to charge a fee for events would be against their principles.

“Everybody in town can participate and no one will be left out,” Pankow said.

The organization is asking for $10,000 this year to support the Celebration of Lights. This year the event had three times the number of displays thanks to organization and business participation. Their vision is to grow right around the canal, including Turtle Island where lit reindeer would populate the area.

The funds for 2015 would allow them to light another few trees and help with the cost to change over the trailer plugs each season. The Celebration of Lights runs each evening through the month of December at Victoria Park.

Last year they received $5,000.

Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) This organization, which serves abused women and their children, is asking for $2,000 from the town to continue the work they do with women.

Heather Whiting, fundraising volunteer at LCIH noted children’s sexual assault and outreach counsellors travel to Smiths Falls three days a week to meet with clients.

“Where we stand right now, within blocks there are actually women who are frightened in their own homes,” Whiting said.

She noted their six-year-old facility is in need of repair in the kitchen and bathroom floors due to usage. As well, roof work is needed. The shelter has capacity for 15 people and is never empty.

Last year they received $1,000.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBS) Beth Sinclair of BBBS asked for $3,000 to enhance the existing after school program at St. Francis de Sales school and reach even more children. Last year the organization received a donation specifically for an after-school program. This resulted in offering

Rolling Thunder Car Show The car show is asking for a $500 increase from last year’s funding of $1,000. These funds will go towards renting portable toilets, park rental, trophies and shirts for participants, advertising and insurance.

Rick Desjardins thanked the town for their support last year and added he “hoped that you will help support us this year.”

This year’s event is scheduled for Sunday, July 26, 2015.

Gordon Pipe Band The Gordon Pipe Band is holding the line on their $1,000 annual request for their Highland’s on the Rideau event scheduled for June 27, 2015.

This year’s event aims to increase spectator attendance by rebranding the event a Scottish Festival.

“We definitely want to grow the event to include Highland dancing and other events,” said Steve Brookes.

Last year the event brought in a Montreal band, which they hope to welcome back in 2015. In total, the event brought in 10 bands, 100 solo entries and approximately 500 overall attendees.

Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) REAL is requesting $9,000 to help them continue their mandate of protecting the environment in Smiths Falls and area. The organization provides multiple workshops, as well as reviews planning projects for impacts to the environment. Their REAL Deal store on William Street has removed 40 tonnes of material from the dump.

Susan Brandum, REAL Deal manager, noted the store is now the town’s electronics recycling depot as well. This store provides 75 per cent of the organization’s overall budget, and there are plans to grow it in connection to an outdoor environmental centre. Brandum explained Parks Canada has approved their plans to establish an environmental centre where a turtle nesting area, frog habitat would be established along with camera equipment that would allow the public to view these unique areas without disturbing nature.

“I think we’re probably getting the best bang for our buck for that $9,000,” said Coun. Jay Brennan.

Last year REAL received $9,000 from Smiths Falls.

Rideau Ferry Regatta This year’s Rideau Ferry Regatta is looking for $1,500, which is $500 over its traditional request due to cost increases. The funds will help in marketing in Ottawa and Kingston with an eye to bring racing back to the area.

“We do have the beginnings and the vision to do something like that,” said Scott Cameron, event organizer.

Regatta was popular in the area in the past. The first regatta was held in 1897. This unique event was resurrected in 2007 when the Rideau Canal marked its 175th anniversary.

“We haven’t looked back since,” Cameron said.

“Regatta is one of those things that connects the past with the future,” added Shawn Merriment, event volunteer.

The regatta regularly donates to community causes, such as the Rideau Ferry docks. This year, they hope to introduce a racing dock and observation tower for judges. Each year the event brings in over 5,000 people.

Coun. Quinn thanked Cameron for his contribution to tourism, saying the Rideau Canal is a tourism jewel not yet working at its full potential.

“Everything we do on it, near it or with it is a positive,” Quinn said.

Healthy Living Festival The Downtown Business Association (DBA) is hoping to grow their Beckwith Street event, which is in its third year with the help of $10,000 from town council.

“The Healthy Living Festival [scheduled for June 20, 2015] isn’t just about being active, it’s also about healthy minds,” said Amy Hogue, festival committee member.

The funds will go to increased marketing in the cities.

The committee is speaking with the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute basketball coach, Todd Spencer to see if he could bring a basketball tournament to the event.

“Which would be great. It would bring a lot of kids to the area,” Hogue said.

This year’s event will likely require the closure of Beckwith Street, Main Street by the parking lot, and on William Street by Hotel Rideau. This last street is new to the design and will provide a seated area for families to enjoy lunch Rideau Heritage Route at the event.

Tourism Association Last year the event received Anne Marie Forcier, manager

of RHRTA is asking the town to restore their $10,000 in organizational funding. The RHRTA markets the Rideau Canal as one complete system. Most notably, they are responsible for the largest TODD signage in the province with over 150 blue and white signs denoting a Rideau Heritage Route destination between Kingston and Ottawa. This year, the organization is working on developing a visitor statistics project that will provide communities like Smiths Falls with a baseline on visitors each year. The organization also encourages municipalities to consider placing RHR signage within their community to link the system. This partnership resulted in approximately 400 German tourists coming to Smiths Falls for lunch this past year. Forcier estimates this trip pumped $7,600 into the local economy in just two days.

Last year, the town gave $6,000 in funding and $5,000 for projects.

Smiths Falls & District Club for Youth The youth centre is hoping to enhance their physical activity programming through municipal support of $10,000 this year. This past year the club hosted 200 hours of physical activity programming.

Adam Gariepy, centre manager said renovations this past year to the centre will mean they don’t need to move in the foreseeable future.

In addition to providing a safe place for youth to socialize, the youth centre also helps with homework. Last year, they helped 45 youth obtain part-time employment, dealt with 72 cases of abuse or neglect, made 3,750 meals, worked with 12 suicidal youth and 10 homeless youth.

Last year the centre received $10,000 from the town.

Smiths Falls Arts & Culture Council The council will remain a community donation request and not be incorporated into the town budget. This year they are asking for $3,000. Since launching four years ago, the council has become the voice of the arts community by bridging three arts groups and providing the Joyce Brennan Award each year to a deserving member of the community.

“They have proven to be a great advocate for the arts in our community,” added Coun. Lorraine Allen. “I think this is a group that we should be encouraging.”

Council wasn’t present at the meeting due to a communication error, which told them they would be removed from community donations and put into the budget as a whole.

The next budget meeting will be held in March.

TOWN COUNCIL INTOWN BRIEFCOUNCIL IN BRIEF News - The following information came from the regular committee-of-the-whole session held Monday, Jan. 26, 2015.

Waste tender aims to be in line with county

Council will consider awarding three waste tender contracts to Glenview Iron and Metal (GIM) at the upcoming session Feb. 2. Staff brought forward the tenders to this week’s committee meeting with this recommendation.

If approved, the contract would expire Dec. 31, 2020 at the end of a five-year, seven-month term. This period will then bring the town in line with Lanark County’s contract in hopes of rejoining them to gain savings in 2021. Contract details are as follows: tender 009 is for waste collection, haulage including a source separated organics option ($343,556). Lynda McKimm noted organics is not scheduled to be acted upon by the town until 2016. Tender 010 is for recyclables curbside collection and processing ($224,753). The third contract (011) is for waste collection and haulage using dumpster (multi-residential buildings and town facilities) - $100,623.76.

Property standards change

Councillors supported removing the respon-

sibility of the occupant to comply with the Property Standards Bylaw, stating there is no means to recoup costs from a tenant. Lynda McKimm said the property owner may still have an agreement with tenants, but the town will only work with property owners. A bylaw will come forward Feb. 2.

Arts Council update

Zoe Ashby, president of the Smiths Falls Arts & Culture Council provided an update to the town on their activities this year. Art Journey’s annual shows are scheduled for May 23 and Oct. 24 and 25 inside the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. Last year’s creative arts fair was a success and will be repeated this year in August to coincide with the annual sports registration day. The arts council will embark on a Strategic Planning session this spring and hopes the public will take part in focus groups to share with them their desires for arts and culture in the town. Coun. Jay Brennan will sit on the council this term.

Retired Lanark soldier dies in Petawawa car accident Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

News – Retired Chief Warrant Officer Ernie Hall died doing what he’d been trained to do – helping people. But the way in which his tragic demise unfolded was ironic.

Hall was one of three pedestrians struck and injured by a motor vehicle on Sunday night, Jan. 11 on Lake Street, Pembroke, near the Pembroke Memorial Centre. Hall had been attending a Pembroke Lumber Kings hockey game which had just concluded when the accident occurred.

Severely injured, Hall was taken to a medical facility in Ottawa where he died around 10 p.m. on Jan. 12, with family and close friends at his side.

Hall was a decorated retired military man from Lanark. He was 57 years of age.

“It’s ironic that he died at a hockey game, when he spent 38 years in the military,” his brother Pete Hall told The Perth Courier.

“He will definitely be missed,” said family friend, Jeff Wright of Perth. “It’s been a hard pill to swallow. He was a high-ranking officer.”

Military career Hall was 17 when he joined the 3rd Battalion Royal Canadian Regiment in 1975 in Petawawa. Following a peacekeeping tour with 3 RCR in Cyprus in

Ernest Joseph Hall, MMM, MSM, CD, Retired CWO, Royal Canadian Regiment.

1977, he was posted to 2 Commando, Canadian Airborne Regiment at Petawawa, also in 1977.

Hall also served in the Airborne Regiment until 1986, including time as a Pathfinder Recce Det 2IC and as a Section Commander with 3 Commando.

He completed another tour in Cyprus in 1981, was promoted to Master Corporal in 1982 and to the rank of Sergeant in 1986.

Hall served with The RCR Battle School at Petawawa from 1986-87 and

was then posted to 3 RCR at Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1987. In 1988 he was posted to Baden Soellingen, Germany with Mortar Platoon, 3 RCR as a Mortar Fire Controller (MFC).

He remained in Germany until 1993 and served in the Gulf War in 1990, with M Company, 3 RCR; and deployed to Croatia in 1991 as a Platoon Warrant Officer in November Company, 3 RCR, part of the Royal 22ieme Regiment Battle Group.

Hall was promoted to the rank of Warrant Officer following his return from the Gulf in 1990.

Posted to 2 RCR in 1993 he was subsequently employed as Intelligence Warrant Officer; Mortar Platoon Warrant Officer; Rifle Company CQMS; CQMS Admin Company; and Operations Warrant Officer. Chief Warrant Officer Hall completed a tour in Bosnia with 2 RCR in 1999. Promoted to Master Warrant Officer in 2001, he served as the Sergeant-Major of Hotel Company, 2 RCR, including a deployment to Eritrea as part of Task Force East Africa.

Following the tour in Eritrea, Hall was posted to NDHQ Ottawa as The RCR career manager.

After promotion to CWO in 2005 he subsequently became the Infantry Corps Career Manager.

Hall was appointed Regimental Sergeant-Major of 3 RCR on Dec. 16, 2006. His tenure of appointment would last until June 16, 2009. During this time

he was also RSM of the 3 RCR Battle Group (Task Force 3-08) in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan from September 2008 – April 2009.

In June 2009, he returned to NDHQ Ottawa as the Army CWO career manager.

In January 2011 Hall was appointed the Regimental Sergeant-Major of 42 Field Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment), Royal Canadian Artillery, at Pembroke, Ontario.

Hall retired in 2014 at the conclusion of a career that spanned more than 38 years and that was typified by loyal, devoted and outstanding service. He was invested as a Member of the Order of Military Merit in 2005 and was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal in June 2010.

“To have a career like he did in the military, then to be hit in a parking lot… it just doesn’t make any sense,” Pete Hall said.

Ernie was an avid hockey fan, growing up in Lanark, he had the opportunity to play with the senior men’s league, Pete said.

“He was a great outdoors guy. He enjoyed playing sports. We were very close.”

The brothers were always good friends growing up, Pete said. There were eight siblings in the family: five boys and three girls.

Ernie Hall will be missed by children Nicole Hall and Michael Hall both of

Winnipeg Man. He was the son of Archie and the late Kaye (nee Tovey) Hall.

He is survived by his brothers Pete Hall (June), of Perth; Glenn Hall (Laurie) of Smiths Falls and his sisters Sharon Hannah (Paul) of Lombardy; Susan Robertson (Rob) and Lisa Anderson (Al) both of Perth, as well as all his nieces and nephews.

Ernie was predeceased by his brothers Charlie and Murray Hall.

A military sendoff for Hall was held Monday at the Murphy Funeral Home in Pembroke with the interment at Beechwood National Military Cemetery, on Monday.

In memory of Ernie Hall, donations to Soldier On are appreciated.

Ongoing investigation The Upper Ottawa Valley Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is continuing to investigate with OPP Technical Traffic Collision investigators (TTCI) and Forensic Identification Services who are assisting.

The Pembroke Fire Department as well as County of Renfrew Paramedic Services assisted at the scene.

As a result of the investigation, a 38-year-old Pembroke man has been charged in relation to Hall’s death.

If anyone was a witness to the collision, or has any information, please contact the Pembroke Detachment of the OPP at 613-732-3332. Const. Scott Wood is the investigating officer.

Man turns himself in following vandalism

Smile, you’re on television A 46-year-old Smiths Falls man was arrested and charged with theft under $5,000 after shoplifting a 32inch television from a store on Lombard Street.

Smiths Falls Police say the man had wandered into a store Jan. 18 around 7 p.m. and placed the television in a shopping cart, then went to another department in the store and left with the television through a fire exit door.

He was stopped by store security and police were notified.

The man was held for bail. These allegations have not been proven in court.

Man charged after vehicle takes off from RIDE checkpoint A 31-year-old Smiths Falls man was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance during a RIDE check on Cornelia Street Jan. 21 around 10:05 p.m.

Police say they observed a motor vehicle making an abrupt turn to avoid going through the check point. Officers caught up to the vehicle and the passenger was found to be in possession of a quantity of suspected marijuana.

The man was released on an appearance notice. The allegations have not been proven in court.

The 28-year-old female driver of the vehicle was charged with being a novice G1 driver without an accompanying qualified driver.

CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE FOR WOOD BURNING APPLIANCES.

Chimneys are one of the common locations of residential structure fires. Creosote accumulation is the leading cause of chimney fires.

A chimney that is dirty, blocked or is in disrepair can inhibit proper venting of smoke up the flue and can also cause a chimney fire.

Nearly all residential fires originating in the chimney are preventable.

An annual chimney inspection by a qualified chimney sweep can prevent fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.

To keep your home safe from chimney fires follow these guidelines.

Maintenance - Good maintenance is a very important step in preventing chimney fires!

• Have your chimney checked every year by a qualified chimney professional.

• Burn only well seasoned hardwoods.

• Install a chimney cap.

• Install a carbon monoxide detector.

• Have your chimney sweep ensure that your chimney has an appropriate liner.

• Following a violent storm, earthquake, flood or lightening strike, have your chimney inspected for damage - inside and out.

Prevention – Remember prevention is your best defense against fire.

If you have a wood or coal stove, be sure it is installed at least 36 inches away from the wall. Keep combustible materials well away from the stove and chimney connector. Place an approved stove board under the unit to protect the floor from heat and hot coals which might drop out.

Be Prepared – Know what to do in case of fire. If you suspect a chimney fire, evacuate your home and call 9-1-1.

Food Hub kitchens near completion, open house slated for Feb. 5 Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Stacey Roy/METROLAND

Matthew Brearley, general manager of the Ashley Kulp/METROLAND Two Rivers Food Hub welcomes the community to an open house Feb. 5 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Gallipeau Centre.

Community – The Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario held a community appreciation reception Jan. 24 to honour their supporters of the past, present and future. The event also tailers.

“I hope the Hub will definitely help them go served as an opportunity to kick off the museum’s 30th anniversary festivities, which across that bridge,” said Bill Watts, manager of they mark this year. Above, volunteers Peggy Warrington, left, and Kyla Kocieka raise the evening’s signature cocktail, The Last Spike, a whiskey sour with a maple twist.

Foodsmiths in Perth.

Foodsmiths is planning to carry some of the end product from the Hub as they have been purchasing directly from farmers in the area virtually since their opening.

“It’s something the owners, Don and Claire Smith, have certainly strived for,” Watts added.

“To get farmers to come together is just going to make it that much more seamless to get it to market.”

The objective is to bring the food from the fields to the plate within 72 hours. Brearley said some food in stores have traveled 21 days before landing in your cart. Their plan is to help grow a network for sustainable food in eastern Ontario.

“All of these little drops will end up forming this really interesting food pool,” Brearley said.

Future growth The kitchens represents phase one of The Hub rollout. Phase two will look at vegetable production and cleaning line. This space will include a drying table.

“If farmers want to create value added products, we’ll have the equipment that will permit them to do that,” Brearley said.

Another future piece of the puzzle is the opportunity to restore some of the vegetable gardens that Rideau Regional Centre used to rely on to make 15,000 meals a day in its heyday.

The land is designated Class A farmland.

“We’re not at that point yet, but the hope is that one day we will be able to utilize some of the lands,” Brearley said.

The presence of all the facilities at the Gallipeau Centre made it a desirable location for the food hub to locate. Brearley said future growth is possible at the site as the centre has four to five freezers on one side of the building and about the same number on the other side.

EMC-GCP-BW-Q-W4-2015

News - On Feb. 5, between 3 to 6 p.m., the Two Rivers Food Hub invites the community to the Gallipeau Centre for information sharing on their vision and short-term goals beginning with a tour of the newly completed industrial kitchen spaces.

On this day, three of the four rentable kitchens will be complete and on the public tour: the main kitchen and two preparation kitchen spaces. The fourth kitchen is in the design phase and will be specifically for gluten free foods. The space will be separate from the other areas with a complete bakery line that has been purchased from auction. All spaces will be inspected and certified for use.

Area residents interested in helping The Hub prepare for the open house are welcome to come out the afternoon of Saturday, Jan. 31 (1 to 4 p.m.) Volunteers will be helping to clean up, put together shelving and generally get the place ready.

“It needs some brightening up,” said Matthew Brearley, general manager of the Two Rivers Food Hub. Volunteers are asked to register before hand by calling the Food Hub at 613-205-1338 or via email at: tworiversfoodhub@gmail.com.

The main kitchen will house a 40-gallon skillet for making jams and jellies and a steam kettle for soup and sauces in addition to other standard equipment. This facility is conveniently located next to the hub’s loading dock and two of the large industrial freezer rooms. Brearley is excited for the opportunity to assist local producers in growing their companies and reaching more clients.

“Most people now-a-days they make 30 to 50 jars at a time. This will give them the opportunity to produce 100 jars in a day,” Brearley explained.

The organization is planning to purchase filling and capping equipment to allow producers to set the amount they want in each container and allow a machine to do the work.

Brearley said he hopes The Hub will allow producers to expand their current business and get out to more retail locations and ultimately to area grocery stores. Storage rentals for cold or dry items are available as well as freezers, with flexible periods and reasonable rates.

“We’re giving the opportunity for these farms to be self-sustainable,” Brearley added.

The storage will give “a consistent supply to restaurants and institutions.”

Part of creating a consistent supply year around is the plan to bulk purchase seed for producers and stagger growing times. All of this information will be discussed with producers at the first producers meeting on Thursday, Jan. 29, 7 p.m. The plan will be to provide a single location for farmers to drop off produce where it can be marketed and processed for consumption.

“That’s where we come in,” Brearley said.

The general manager has a background in restaurant operations, having owned his own farm-to-table restaurant in the Ottawa Valley.

“I used to buy from upwards of 15 different farms,” Brearley recalls.

The Hub hopes they can help producers address the challenge of time and cost to travel to different restaurant locations. The organization is approaching local stores and hopes to incorporate chain grocery stores in their mix of re-

OPINION

Salvation Army is worthy of support

Opinion - It’s time to answer the Salvation Army’s call for service.

For the second year in a row the Salvation Army has run at a deficit of their kettle campaign fundraising goals, which has only meant reduced programs and services for the communities they serve, including Smiths Falls.

Last year, Perth felt the pinch of budget constraints with program and staff cuts, but this year it is the Smiths Falls community who will see a change. This will take the form of reduced community luncheons at the church from every Monday and Friday to the first Monday of the month and every Friday starting in February.

This will impact families in Smiths Falls who depended on the luncheon to supplement their food budget or as a means to get out in the community. There is never a good time for cuts like this, but the recent closure announcements of Target and Staples only deepen the need in the community. The Salvation Army doesn’t just provide food support through the luncheons and a food bank, they also offer crisis support in a variety of ways (clothing, rent assistance, baby This postcard photo is from the Heritage House Museum, Don Bryant Collection and shows McEwen Avenue needs, etc.) and preventative social serfrom the Collegiate.

stores and kettle campaign).

I know there are so many worthy organizations in the community needing funds, but I strongly feel the need for food and recovering from crisis takes priority. I personally try and split my support among a variety of local, national and international causes, including supporting the kettle campaign and their Christmas tree for children in need.

It’s not much, but if each person who is able dropped in a loonie or toonie into the jar it could make a big difference to the many people in the region.

This sort of power of the whole has been demonstrated in Smiths Falls year after year, most recently in the incredible success of the #Doefstrong campaign. We can do this, Smiths Falls!

The Salvation Army came into Canada in 1882 on the philosophy that there’s no point preaching salvation to people who are hungry. I agree and have seen the local chapter live this mandate through their programs each year. There’s no question that it is getting harder and See COLUMN page SF9

Letter to the Editor

Let’s keep Smiths Falls sensational DEAR EDITOR:

We are writing to express concern for what is happening in Smiths Falls in relation to business propositions for the Hershey site. It alarms us that we may be rushing into disaster. It is important to plan long term for this site. We have medical marijuana, we have the food hub; we are moving in a positive direction. We need to attract people to move to and live in our town. This will boost our local economy.

Smiths Falls is a beautiful town, situ-

ated at the heart of a World Heritage Site. It is centrally located to both large cities and small towns. We have it all.

We encourage the councillors and mayor of Smiths Falls to move forward cautiously keeping the residents of Smiths Falls and outlying areas in mind.

Let’s foster a vision that is in keeping with our moniker “Sensational Smiths Falls”.

Promote town as a tourist’s destination

DEAR EDITOR:

It is time we put Smiths Falls on the map, and bring abundance and good times to the town!

I would like to offer the following suggestions for Smiths Falls - Tourism is a big solution. Like Perth, Merrickville and Westport, it is important to make the town more attractive, to bring visitors to the area. Open up the bridges so that everyone can see the beautiful river, instead of concrete walls. Then replace these concrete walls with fences instead, so we have beautiful views down the river.

Perth has made the most of this. And people love it, and come to Perth to see the river and the town.

Next, attract tourists to the park for great events such as music – country and western shows, jazz shows, rock and roll entertainers, people with special talents, and live musicals, kids’ puppet shows, shows for kids, and for the park and other buildings, organize antique shows, art shows, antique car shows, health shows, fashion shows, boat shows, flower shows - whatever it takes – there are lots of ideas for shows!

Then promote local bed and breakfasts, so that visiting folks have a place to stay, when they come to see the events, or take part in the events.

And promote the museum as well.

Then everyone will

When these hard times are seen, hard decisions have to be made. I hope supporting the Salvation Army through their new or existing fundraisers or via the thrift stores is

a decision we can collectively share. The organization is critical to the emergency preparedness of our community, our region and the truth is when the Salvation Army loses we all lose, including the most vulnerable among us.

Former RRC staffer disappointed DEAR EDITOR:

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do” Steve Jobs I was one of the six staff who met with Stacey Roy a few weeks ago as a result of her column “RRC plaque a kindness to former residents not an insult to institutional staff.” While I am thankful Stacey was willing to meet with us to tell our side of the story, I was very disappointed to discover that after pouring our hearts out for two hours, that the caption accompanying our story, and the lead into our story was about the petition we planned to post asking for our former union to seek an apology from Premier Wynne. I can’t speak for anyone else, but the petition was the last thing on my mind, and was not why we asked to meet with Stacey. Since someone has chosen to make the main topic of our meeting about the petition, I would just like to clarify a few things.

I emphasized that I never worked

at Rideau Regional during the time Mr. McKillop lived there, nor did I know anyone who did. The reason I said, “I believe that when the government knew better, it did better”, is because the Rideau Regional described in the class action lawsuit is not the Rideau Regional I knew. Sadly, as in any field that involves vulnerable people, there will always be those staff who slip through the cracks. In light of the emphasis of our story changing to the petition, I would like to make it clear that the last thing we want this petition to do is to cause Mr. McKillop or anyone else any further pain, and wish the article had stated that. I also hope Mr. McKillop will take some solace in knowing that the overwhelming majority of the staff I worked with throughout my long career (I retired after 34 years of continuous service) were very caring and compassionate staff, who like me, got into this field to try and make a difference in the lives of those residents we supported.

While we realize our chances of getting the original plaque re-

worded is probably next to nil, our hope is that the plaque Dave Lundy approached the town about having erected in 2009 after the closure of RRC will at least be erected, and that those of us who worked in institutional care and did nothing wrong will get an apology from Ms. Wynne. I hope the settlement Mr. McKillop and “those former residents who were harmed for the conditions over time” received will have a positive impact on their lives. I also hope that their memories of Rideau Regional were not all negative and that someone showed them love and kindness.

It was bad enough we lost our jobs due to closure; we did not need our reputations tarnished in the media as well. If anyone has read any of the many stories I have read online about the class action lawsuit and the settlement, people would know the Record News has been the only newspaper to even mention that there were caring and compassionate staff - and for that we thank you.

Target’s failure has many factors: analyst

DEAR EDITOR:

Sadly, Target Canada’s $5 billion adventure is now over. The company had enjoyed significant attention and the quasi-admiration of the country’s public for more than two years. As many Canadian retailing incumbents celebrate the closing of over 100 stores nationwide, some wonder what’s next for the retail industry in Canada, and not just in food.

Target’s venture into Canada was nothing short of a fiasco. In terms of food retailing, the American based company was never even close to being a contender; for example, Target Canada was the only food retailer not to offer significant discounts during October for specifically Thanksgiving-related products. Based on its marketing material, it appeared that the company did not know that Thanksgiving is celebrated earlier here. There were many other misses along the way, even though it was committed to offering the lowest price possible to consumers.

However, one major ongoing problem for Target Canada was simply consistent, and consistently damaging bad press due to empty store shelves and higher price points compared to the U.S. It was always difficult, but pos-

sible, to recover; yet in the end, Target Canada likely felt that its brand image was harmed beyond repair.

In hindsight, Target’s failure in Canada is surprising, given its brand pedigree in the U.S. It remains a challenge to the retailer to successfully compete against Walmart. Two years on, the company’s failure to establish itself in Canada gives their critics good reason to believe that its first attempt at moving outside its borders was fundamentally flawed. Cultural adaptation was tricky, as it got too big, too quickly. By contrast, Walmart’s entry into Canada after their acquisition of Woolco was careful and incremental, as opposed to Target’s swift invasion.

But ignorance is more likely to blame in this case, not arrogance or strategic myopia. The lesson seems to be more about a mix of blind enthusiasm and skewed assumptions. The value proposition for American consumers seemed to have been clearly laid out for quite some time, but this was never the case in Canada. Canadian consumers are too smart to buy into a bad deal. In food, their deal was simply pathetic and the experience was distinctly underwhelming.

Ironically, Target Canada’s legacy will be defined by its entry and not by

A Community Bulletin Provided To Keep You Informed

its exit. The very announcement that the company intended to open numerous stores in such a short period of time compelled many other major retailers, including Walmart and Loblaws, to become better and more efficient.

For that reason alone, Canadian consumers are the main beneficiaries of the Target Canada caper. The aggregate quality in the food industry for Canadians is, at the very least, better than two years ago. While it is difficult to know what the future holds for food consumers in our county, rest assured something else will arrive to compel companies to further improve themselves.

In effect, Target paid $5 billion to learn that Canada is not America. It is an expensive experience, but in all likelihood the company will learn from this experience.

At the very least, paying close attention to local idiosyncrasies when looking at markets abroad is increasingly becoming a significant conditional factor for a successful entry.

Members of the Canadian Special Forces engaged Islamic State militants in a firefight last week, the first time ISIS forces and Western coalition forces have fired directly at each other.

According to a story from ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/International/ isis-gunfight-west/story?id=28356489), neither the United States nor any other Western coalition members have fired directly on ISIS troops since the coalition was formed last summer, although aircraft missions have fired on ISIS targets.

Last week while on patrol with Iraqi forces, Canadian troops came under attack with heavy mortar and machine gun fire, The Toronto Sun reported.

Canadian and Iraqi snipers returned fire, according to Brigadier-General Michael Rouleau, commander of the Canadian Special Operations Forces.

“This is the first time this has happened since our arrival (in Iraq) and our reaction is wholly consistent with the inherent right of self-defense,” Rouleau told The Sun. “I’m satisfied to report to Canadians that their Special Forces are helping the Iraqis in northern Iraq materially in this dangerous struggle against ISIS.” According to the ABC story, the U.S. military says the coalition has conducted more than 1,900 airstrikes on ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria as of Jan. 19.

In Ottawa, the NDP and Liberal opposition parties are claiming the Canadian government has been dishonest about

our mission in Iraq.

Canada joined the U.S.-led international coalition to fight ISIS back in October.

The Canadian mission was to include airstrikes in Iraq, with some troops in the country to help train Iraqi forces.

In December, the defence department denied Canadian snipers armed with long-range rifles, accompanied by Kurdish and Iraqi snipers, participated in operations against Islamist fighters from positions away from the front lines.

Maj.-Gen. Michael Hood said the Canadians were only there to observe and train.

Also on Monday, Lt.-Gen. John Vance indicated Canadian troops are well-prepared to continue the mission beyond April if Parliament wants to extend it.

Vance also confirmed Canadian special forces troops are targeting Islamic State positions with lasers to guide the bombs dropped by coalition aircraft.

“This government gave us a job to do and we’re doing it,” Vance said.

NDP defence critic MP Jack Harris said, “Canadians have been misled.”

“What we are seeing now is mission creep,” he said. “When you join the Iraqi forces on the front lines you will directly be involved in a combat role.”

PMO spokesman Jason MacDonald said the mission “is one in which they are providing advice and assistance to Iraqi forces only.

“We have always been clear that while this is a low-risk mission, it is

Defence expert and associate professor at the Royal Military College of Canada Christian Leuprecht noted the firefight “was not a forward offensive operation.”

“This was a defensive reaction in response to a direct threat to Canadian support elements on the ground,” he said.

Vance and Rouleau said the special forces advisers spend 20 per cent of their time at or near the front lines, and 80 per cent “behind the lines.”

Hub receives one-month emergency funding, talks to continue Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News – Smiths Falls town council approved $7,500 in one-time emergency funding to the Hub pool following confirmation the non-profit could produce matching funds to meet their Jan. 31, 2015 deadline.

The unanimous decision was made at a special council session held Jan. 26 and was approved largely due to the Hub’s ability to find $8,000 of funds to match the town’s request and satisfy their $15,000 December utility bill.

Heddy Sorour-Roberts, Hub coordinator noted these funds were collected through donations, earned funds and money promised. Some of the funds have come from programs, which will mean the organization will be behind in another bill, but Sorour-Roberts said they expect to catch up on that within a month.

In response to concerns over upcoming utilities, Sorour-Roberts said they do have a line of a number of funding opportunities that could cover February and March The motion passed with the exclusion of conditions to have a 30-day extension on the bill and confirmation of support from surrounding municipalities.

Mayor Shawn Pankow noted the town received an email from Diane Gallipeau that morning (Jan. 26) confirming the property owner’s position that there will be no extension. The Gallipeau family announced Jan. 22 that it would forgive $75,000 of the $170,000 deficit the pool has accumulated. The Hub has a five-year agreement to repay the debt with $1,500-a-month piece out of programming revenue and 15 per cent of all fundraising proceeds going to the property owner.

“As long as we do that they’ve guaranteed us that they will not shut down the pool,” SorourRoberts said.

The Gallipeau Centre has also kept their rent flat at $1,800 a month.

Sorour-Roberts confirmed the organization does have meetings scheduled with Rideau Lakes Township and Merrickville-Wolford Township for funding consideration, but these aren’t until February.

However, Merrickville-Wolford did confirm they would write a letter in support of the Hub’s next Ontario Trillium Foundation application. Councillors Dawn Quinn and Jay Brennan confirmed the town’s willingness for the same.

“It (municipal partners) doubles our chances of getting funding from Trillium,” Sorour-Roberts said.

It was noted at the Jan. 22 public meeting that the Hub had applied three times to Ontario Trillium Foundation but was unsuccessful.

The organization has just recently reformed a board after all but one member resigned last February. Laurie Hudson-Craig, Hub president noted revenue has increase by $4,000 a month since September 2014 with about 3,000 people using the pool each month.

Sorour-Roberts admitted programming won’t be enough to sustain the pool in the long term. This remained just under the surface throughout the discussion this Monday.

“None of us want to see the pool close. Our responsibility to our taxpayers is, is it a good use of taxpayers money,” said Pankow.

For all your latest local news...

Sorour-Roberts said Hub programs are fully subscribed, but there is room on Saturday and Sunday to add new programming and boost revenue.

Peter McKenna, executive director of the Rideau Community Health Services challenged the public wishing to keep the pool by being part of the solution.

“I really do encourage the public to step up and join the pool,” McKenna said.

Karen Lang Foster of Cardio Fit 4 Life and a new Hub board member stood up Jan. 22 and offered active adult classes at her studio inside the Gallipeau Centre as part of the Hub pool membership.

“We all want this to work and we are all willing to make the commitments to ensure this is happening,” she said.

Coun. John Maloney said the comments he received from the public this past week were split 50-50 for and against funding the pool. While he said he believed a pool is a draw for residential growth, Maloney remained concerned with how the facility is run and whether or not an alternative can be found. The organization invited a member of Smiths Falls council to sit on their board going forward, which Coun. Lorraine Allen volunteered to fulfill if needed.

“I think our town right now has embraced a healthy living lifestyle. I’m very proud of that fact,” Allen said.

In terms of alternatives, Maloney specifically mentioned the pool that is currently under construction at the Good Vibrations gym on Lorne Street where they propose to offer aqua fit classes, as well as the Perth pool not far away.

“It’s not like anything will be disappearing,” Maloney said.

Coun. Jay Brennan approved the one-time funding, but said the most important question surrounding the Hub pool has yet to be asked: does the town want to include $150,000 in their budget each year to cover the ongoing cost of utilities.

“Those discussions are going to have to happen,” Brennan said.

During the Jan. 22 meeting Kathy Gilligan, Hub secretary noted the pool would need sizable funding from the municipal continually to remain open.

“You have to put us in your recreation budget,” Gilligan said.

It costs approximately $150,000 a year to operate the pool. Many spoke to the challenging financial times the town is currently in.

“If you’re looking for $150,000 a year this ain’t going to happen,” Coun. Chris Cummings said.

Mayor Pankow acknowledged this challenging time, but added he believes in the vision of the Hub pool and would support the Hub’s original request for $15,000 each month for six months in emergency funding.

“I think we need to demonstrate our leadership here,” Pankow added. “There’s no dismissing the health care benefits.”

The Jan. 22 meeting was standing room only as was the Jan. 26 meeting. Last week council heard from pool users, staff members and local health care professionals on the importance of the pool in our community.

“I think it is actually a public health benefit to the town,” said Dr. Graeme Hendry, general practi-

“A pool is critical to providing opportunity to people who are unable to walk for example.”

McKenna looks at the pool as a preventative tool in the battle against various maladies. In this respect, he committed his organization to supporting the pool’s continuation.

“We’re willing to do whatever we can,” McKenna said.

Jacqui Bowick-Sandor is a Smiths Falls resident and the first known patient of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) to use aqua aerobics to treat her condition.

“My specialists in Toronto are so impressed,” Bowick-Sandor added. “For me and for patrons in Smiths Falls the pool is vital. We need this pool.”

The Hub is working to reduce their utility bills by repairing the Drytron machine (a quote on repair and replacement is still outstanding from Denoco) as well as purchasing a pool cover to retain the heat when not in use. This is a $9,600 community donations request for the 2015 budget process.

It was also noted that two water meters and a gas meter are now installed for the pool. This item will return to Smiths Falls council later next month.

Airport honours long-time volunteers through naming rights Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Community – Russ Beach, Jack Tedford and Glenn Davies are names commonly known around the Russ Beach Smiths Falls-Montague Airport, and that’s the way it will stay following the formal naming of physical assets in each man’s name.

Dave O’Blenis, president of the Smiths Falls Flying Club made the formal presentation during their Christmas celebrations Dec. 5, 2014.

“The key is the people,” O’Blenis said of the club’s success.

A road sign identifying the original hangar road as Jack Tedford Lane will go up as soon as the frost is out of the ground. The lane has 26 hangars along it, including Tedford’s.

“I was quite pleased,” Tedford said of the surprise honour.

The local businessman served as president of the flying club for 20 years when the airport was experiencing a period of growth and re-organization. During this time Tedford was hands-on and, according to O’Blenis, was a steading influence on the organization.

“Smiths Falls airport for two decades was Jack Tedford,” O’Blenis said.

“I think I built that place pretty strong,” Tedford said.

He came on the scene on Jan. 29, 1978. That was the year the airport was sold to the town and township for a dollar to access grants for the infrastructure the airport enjoys today. Over the many years he has organized the fly-in breakfasts for 20 years ending in 2007, and did whatever was needed for the airport at the time.

“I like making people happy,” Tedford added. “I still like to help out.”

Tedford emphasized that he has been privileged to have worked alongside many passionate and committed individuals who equally gave of themselves in any project he worked on.

“There’s really not much to tell; I just did my job,” Tedford said.

He has spent a lifetime appreciating the beauty of aircraft, which stretches back to his days of plane gazing on the farm as a child.

“I’d be looking up and fall over a bale of hay,” Tedford recalled.

Since that time he has become the first Ontario resident to get his VFOTT license, which allows him to fly over the top of clouds. For this achievement, he credits local instructor, the late Bill Whaley.

“He taught you to fly the real way,” Tedford added. “He was beyond an instructor.”

Glenn Davies The next individual to be honoured is a man who is credited with helping to build the airport as it is today. Davies is away and unavailable for an interview.

“We called him Glenn the builder,” O’Blenis said. “He had a hand in or was actually the lead construction guy for at least two dozen hangars.”

Not only did he help to build hangars he also worked hard on building the Welcome Centre and the equipment

The new structure sits on an extended version of the former clubhouse foundation. In 2006, the clubhouse was lost to fire. In time, the club was able to raise over $50,000 to rebuild along with countless volunteer hours for construction, and the beautiful Welcome Centre with observation deck was born.

“The fire turned out very positive for us” as it brought the club together, O’Blenis said.

When asked if the Welcome Centre would ever be renamed in honour of a club member, O’Blenis said it wouldn’t be in the near future.

“So many people did so much you would have trouble doing it this early on without the risk of slighting someone,” O’Blenis said.

Russ Beach The final honour was given posthumously to Russ Beach who passed away in 1995. Beach is credited with being a driving force in developing the local airport and Canadian aviation. Having served in most board capacities, Beach found a way to touch many aspects of the airport and leave a lasting mark.

This past year the Smiths Falls Flying Club invested in refurbishing the Russ Beach hangar sign to visibly recognize his place at the facility for years to come.

Acknowledging those who have left a legacy at the airport is the aim of the permanent markers presented this past December, and the first step of the airport’s work to honour their past.

News - Councillors supported bringing a proposed bio-cremation system at the Gallipeau Centre forward to Feb. 2 Smiths Falls town council session, despite some unknowns around after-process disposal of fluids.

Ted Joynt, superintendent of water/wastewater presented a report at Jan. 26 committee meeting generally supporting the business proposal in its operations on Queen Street. However, staff is closely monitoring the Gallipeau Centre after an unexpected discharge in mid-December. “The results did come back five times the amount allowed� of biochemical oxygen demand, which was going into the town’s treatment system, Joynt said.

He mentioned the high reading was only seen once in a batch of 30 to 40 samples taken and has never been seen in the known memory. “As it stands right now the wastewater treatment division of the town has no issue with the effluent expected to be generated by Mr. Hilton’s business directly,� Joynt’s report stated.

Hilton’s request to cremate human remains will operate as Aquagreen Dispositions. He currently runs a pet cremation service at the Gallipeau Centre called Unforgettable Tails.

Much of the feedback from the public was positive. However some pointed to concerns around residential growth and crematoriums operating in close proximity. Nicole McKernan, planner confirmed in email communications that the property is zoned correctly for this facility to go forward.

Council’s approval is a requirement of the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002 for cremating human remains. If approved, it will then go the Ministry of Consumer Services for further review. Other comments were received about concern over what is being placed in the town system.

Ken Graham, former councillor who spent a career around water systems had this to say: “If their effluent represent a significant threat to our treatment, then they should be required to pre-treat to discharge. After all, it would hardly be fair to have all our water and sewer users pay increased cost for something they have the ability to prevent prior to discharge.�

He noted the Hershey chocolate company was

made to install a digester at their facility to pretreat water before it entered the town’s system.

The problem is there is no way to tell if Unforgettable Tails pet crematorium service is the cause of this one high reading as all waste from the Gallipeau Centre is fed into the system from a single pipe. “We don’t know who’s putting what into where,� added Coun. Chris Cummings. “I can imagine that will be very problematic for them.�

Some public comments did note a concern with the pet cremation service operating at the Gallipeau Centre for at least six months without this process being completed with the exception of one service user, who praised Dale Hilton for his professionalism and care during a difficult time. “I will be forever grateful to Dale for creating this company, which helps bring closure to so many distressed pet owners grieving the loss of their companions. I think it is a great service to everyone pets and humans,� wrote Lea McIlveena.

The Alkaline Hydrolysis process is relatively new to Canada with the only other facility found in Saskatoon. Hilton’s business is set up in the former medical wing of the centre.

As the property owner, the Gallipeaus are responsible for any charges related to their waste material leaving the property. Any overage the town experiences in their intake is susceptible to an over-strength surcharge to the property owner that will compensate for the additional cost of treating the high concentration of waste material. “It’s by no means intended to go on and on,�

Joynt said of the surcharge.

The expectation is that the surcharge would give the property owner time to meaningfully address the issues in a permanent way. Town staff will be undertaking weekly monitoring of the Gallipeau Centre pipe. If the situation continues the town can require the Gallipeaus to install a discreet sampler that would take samples each hour all day long.

The town may also ask the owners to install a flow meter to find out what the effluent loadings are, a filter to prevent fragments from entering the system or an engineer approved pre-treatment process that would lower the effluent to within acceptable limits. Joynt underlined any of these measures and additional sampling costs would be borne by the Gallipeau Centre owner.

News – Angela Buker has been battling the effects of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) for six years now and needs her community’s help to continue the process in hopes of a double lung transplant.

Buker is scheduled to be in Toronto for testing from March 2 to 6, but is struggling with the financial implications of the required medical appointment.

“She doesn’t have the money to get up there,” explained her aunt, Joanne Ackerman.

Buker’s COPD has devastated her physically and financially as the Smiths Falls career waitress was forced to quit her job due to illness.

According to the Lung Association, those who have COPD have blocked lungs making it hard to breathe even for the simplest tasks. Many individuals who suffer with this condition aren’t aware of it until significant lung damage has occurred. For Buker, her first sign that something was wrong took place when she was at work. During one of her regular shifts she became so winded she had to sit down. That rest turned into a week in the hospital. Today, Buker can only breathe with the help of oxygen.

She is hoping a double lung transplant will restore her to health so she can enjoy her time with her grandchildren and extended family.

“I just want to feel better. I want to take a deep breath and enjoy it,” Buker said.

The upcoming medical testing is just one step in Buker’s long journey through

Smiths Falls secures hold on fifth place heading down the stretch Laurie Weir

Sports – Michael Pinios earned the rights as the Central Canada Hockey League’s player of the week as he backstopped the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears to two big wins over the weekend to hang onto fifth place in the overall standings.

Pinios had wins over the Cornwall Colts and the Hawkesbury Hawks, posting a 1.5 GA (goals against) and a .959 SP (save percentage) stopping 71 of 74 shots.

The Williams College commit and Montreal native, also earned both games first star status as he bettered his record to 19-6-2-3 to keep the Bears in the hunt for second place in the Robinson Division.

“Michael was outstanding in both games,” said Walt Dubas, the team’s assistant coach. “We couldn’t have gotten the points without him. He has given us very good goaltending and that is allowing us to grind it out and win those low-scoring games.”

Dubas said that despite the wins and the four points over the weekend, “it’s still a dog fight” through the remainder of the season.

“We can’t let up,” he said. “We’ve got to keep going… and hopefully, keep getting the points to solidify a top spot for playoffs.”

Andison leads medal parade in Mike Brown meet Sports - The Perth Pool was host to the annual Mike Brown Swim meet from Jan. 9 to 11. We had nine teams and over 340 swimmers attend the meet. This was an increase of over 60 swimmers from last year.

Leading off the meet was David Machan’s 400m individual medley.

David took on all competitors and came out victorious is one of the hardest swum races that I’ve seen in a long time.

Makayla Hopper carved almost two minutes off her previous best time in the 400 IM as well.

We went eight for eight best times to start off the meet.

The 800m events and 1,500m events were fun to watch as Stingray swimmers dropped time in almost every heat.

Andrew Machan and Thomas MacMillan engaged in a battle for fastest 800m split on their way to dropping over two minutes between them when the race was over.

A number of swimmers qualified for

regionals, including: Grace Barnabe, Elizabeth Greaves, Lucas Rodgers and Liam Graham.

Courtney Wren qualified for Ontario Age Group Championships in 200m fly in an exciting race. She made the 15-year-old standard with her swim.

She is only two seconds off qualifying for the Speedo Eastern Canadian Championships in February.

Thomas MacMillan and Megan Wheeler made Ontario Festival standards in four and two events respectively.

Andrew Machan continues to flirt with a half dozen Festival standards also.

Event winners included Bailey Andison (6), Olivia Ellard (4), Liam Graham (3), Makayla Hopper (1), Andrew Machan (5), David Machan (5), Rory MacMillan (2), Thomas MacMillan (6), Lauren Miller (2), Ben Perkins (2), Megan Wheeler (5) and Courtney Wren (5).

Andison placed fourth in 200m & 400m IM, fifth in 200m breaststroke and sixth in 50m breast stroke. Ellard placed fourth in 50m backstroke, sixth in 100m back stroke and eighth in 200m backstroke.

That same weekend, a small group of Stingrays competed in the 2015 GO Kingfish Polar Plunge at the University of Ottawa. Top Stingray was Miller with an Ontario Age Group Championship qualifying time in 100m butterfly (1:09.11). She grabbed two gold and two silver as well.

The two-goal lead was short-lived as Cornwall came to life with Tanner Spink’s goal at 2:09 followed by Lawson MacDonald’s goal at 9:07 to tie the rally at two each.

It was Gurr with the game winner with help from mates McKenney and Brett Garvey as the Bears scored on the power play with just under four minutes left in the period.

period on the power play when he found the net from mates Gurr and McKenney at the 10:15 mark.

After a scoreless second, Chabot was unassisted at 16:51 in the third with what turned out to be the winning goal.

Jonathan Cyr, with help from Hunter Racine, took advantage of the extra attacker to score with 19:06 left in the period, but that was as close as the Hawks could get for this battle for fifth place.

Hawkesbury outshot the Bears 34-20 in a game witnessed by just 280 fans.

Stars were Pinios (first, Smiths Falls), Cyr, (second, Hawkesbury) and Chabot, (third, Smiths Falls).

Marshall Hogan was all smiles in 2011 when he was selected to take part in the 25th anniversary of Rick Hanson’s Man In Motion Tour that came to Smiths Falls that year. Hogan will once again be smiling next month when the inaugural Homan/Hogan Charity Cash Spiel is held in town to support of the Spinal Cord Injury of Ontario. Teams are welcome to register for the event now.

Inaugural bonspiel aims to help Ontarians Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Sports - A new bonspiel invites curlers from the area to come out to Smiths Falls Feb. 28 to March 1 and take part in an extraordinary opportunity to play alongside Ontario junior champion, Mark Homan.

Organizers of the Homan/Hogan Charity Open Cash Spiel are pleased to welcome Homan back to Smiths Falls.

The Ottawa athlete amazed the 2014 Tankard crowd in Smiths Falls when he bested Glen Howard on the ice.

“I thank Mr. Homan for stepping up for this important cause along with the Smiths Falls Curling & Squash Club,” wrote Marshall Hogan in an email interview.

Smiths Falls resident, Marshall Hogan is the local ambassador for the new winter fundraiser in support of Spinal Cord Injury Ontario. Hogan miraculously survived a car accident in February 2008 when a transport’s tire went through his windshield. The accident left Hogan in a wheelchair, but his recovery has gone well and, according to Dan Andress (family member and spiel sponsor), he was recently looking for a way to get the Spinal Cord Injury Ontario’s message out.

Hogan hopes the event will draw attention to the need for improved accessibility in town and educate the public on the incredible people who make up the health care industry.

“Without them, and I speak from personal experience, life would be very very difficult,” Hogan added. “These healthcare workers are our lifeline!”

Hogan encourages local businesses to think about their establishments and really challenge themselves to navigate it while sitting down. In his capacity as representative of those with spinal cord injury, Hogan encourages everyone to support this spiel as a way to further accessibility and improve the lives of those currently living or who will have to live with spinal cord injury in the future.

“We have so much to offer but [we] cannot do it alone as we need the support of the community at large be it through healthcare, accessibility and research,” Hogan said.

Up to 16 teams of four individuals (all ages) are welcome to sign up for the inaugural charity bonspiel. Registration deadline is Feb. 20, with forms available online: http://sfcscdev.ovcahome. ca and at the curling club on Old Sly’s Road. A team fee of $200 applies with the chance to win a portion of a $2,500 purse.

Andress is pleased he and fellow sponsor, Nick Ritchie of 4 Degrees Brewing Company, could help Hogan get the word out.

“I thought it was very important that we bring awareness to spinal cord injury. It’s very devastating for the family and it’s a long road for the individual,” Andress added. “It’s not even a second that your life changes.”

Hogan’s injury isn’t the only reason he was selected as an event ambassador.

His career as a coach in local hockey leagues and life-long passion to help others has made him a well-known personality in town.

“Marshall is a great ambassador for this. He’s just a great guy,” Andress said.

Plans for the charity spiel began last summer when discussions around a possible winter fundraiser in town began. The recipient charity was selected at this time as a means of bringing attention to spinal cord injuries, never realizing the fate of a young Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears’ hockey player, Neil Doef, who suffered an injury while playing hockey.

“These funds that we’re generating here is going to spinal cord research, which then in turn will help people like Neil Doef,” said Ritchie.

Hogan knows many young individuals in the community who are living with a spinal cord injury, and hopes to see them at the curling club this February.

“I hope they are able to attend and see the support that is out there for them,” Hogan said.

Spectators are more than welcome to attend the spiel free of charge. A bar will be available this weekend, and beer samples of True North of 7 ale, made

by Ritchie’s company, are hoped to be made available for a donation to the cause.

A DJ will follow at 7 p.m. for an evening of fun and further fundraising.

Admission for the evening will be $5 at the door.

“It will keep the energy of the evening going,” Ritchie said.

RedHawks extend win streak

FREE TRADE CELEBRATION

Sports – The RedHawks boys were in Perth on Jan. 15 to play against the St. John Catholic High School Spartans. The RedHawks earned a 45-31 win in the junior game, while the seniors extended their league win streak to eight with a big 61-27 win.

Sports - While the Smiths Falls Redhawks and Perth Blue Devils work to maintain their place in the upcoming boys basketball playoffs, both athletic departments are joining forces Feb. 5 to support fellow athlete, Neil Doef.

The teams’ Feb. 5 regular season games at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) in Smiths Falls will serve as a platform to raise much needed dollars for injured hockey player and Smiths Falls boy, Neil Doef.

“We’d like to pack the gym,” said Smiths Falls coach, Dan Dufort.

The junior game will tip off at 5:30 p.m. followed by the seniors at 7 p.m. as they meet for their final league games before next week’s playoff round. Members of the public are welcome to come and watch the game free of charge, though donations to #DoefStrong will be gratefully ac-

The evening of basketball should be action packed with both senior and junior teams jockeying for playoff positions.

The junior RedHawks are placed second going into the Feb. 5 game, but their Blue Devil rivals are nipping at their heels in third place.

In senior team action, Smiths Falls is topping the rankings in first place with an 8-0 season record. Their Perth counterparts are holding on to third place.

“It should be very good basketball,” Dufort said.

Don’t miss this opportunity to cheer on the RedHawks into the playoff round, while supporting a young man in need.

News - For the first time since his on-ice collision, Neil Doef took to Twitter late Tuesday night, Jan. 20, to thank his supporters.

“I’d like to thank everyone who has given my family and I this unbelievable support,” he tweeted. “The support is appreciated beyond words!

Thank you.”

The community at large, young and old alike, have rallied to show their support to the soon-tobe18-year-old who is in intensive rehabilitation to gain the feeling back in his lower extremities.

His family is facing possible renovations to their home to accommodate a wheelchair, or perhaps, move to a home where accessibility means are already in place, his grandparents told this newspaper recently.

Doef suffered from a spinal cord injury on Dec. 14 in Kindersley, Sask., while playing for Team Canada East in the World Junior Championship.

Since being brought back to Ottawa from

Kindersley, Doef has remained in hospital, where he undergoes rehab on a daily basis.

The “Doefstrong community” has raised well over $128,000 led by the group “Friends of Doef” where you can keep track of all the updates about fundraisers, as well as Doef’s progress.

Fundraisers are ongoing in communities near and far, and just recently, Andress’ Your Independent Grocer donated more than $4,000; Canadian Tire, Smiths Falls, donated $2,000 while their customers donated another $450.70.

His high school, Smiths Falls District Collegiate, has donated $400 selling candles; the Smiths Falls Girls Hockey Association donated $1,000. The Ottawa Nepean Canadian Sports Club also donated $1,000.

Most recently, the Kanata Sports Club donated $1,500 and the OPP Communications Centre, Smiths Falls raised $277.

“I know this journey is going to be long,” Doef also tweeted Jan. 20, “but with all the support and my determination I’m ready to do whatever it takes!”

Gerry Lowe Memorial Sens Rink opens this Friday Sports - The new outdoor rink is already getting a good workout, and on Friday, it will officially open.

Gerry Lowe Memorial Sens RINK (Recreation Investment in Neighbourhoods for Kids) officially opens at 4:30 p.m. and on hand will be former mayor, Dennis Staples, and the new mayor, Shawn Pankow, as well as Cyril Leeder from the Senators Foundation and perhaps, “some special guests,” says Hugh Colton of the Gerry Lowe Foundation.

“We want the entire community to come out and celebrate… and bring their skates,” says Colton, who admitted, there may be a bit of dust on his

own blades.

“It’s a PA day at school, so we want to see all the kids come out and enjoy the day. And right now we’re trying to firm up a couple of Sens players.”

He didn’t want to speculate at this point, but is hopeful there may be a couple Senators who will be on hand for the official opening.

In the summer during the ground breaking in August, Jonathan Bodden, director, business development and corporate relations for the Senators Foundation, told town council that the rink would provide “a significant and meaningful impact… on the lives of young people,” in Smiths Falls and the region. “We appreciate all of the sup-

Sports - On Friday, Jan. 16, 18 teams from Ottawa and the Ottawa and Seaway valleys participated in the 10th annual Senior Invitational Bonspiel at North Grenville Curling Club.

Clubs represented were: Manotick (3), Navy (2), Brockville (2), Smiths Falls (2), Prescott (2), Perth (2), NGCC (2), Huntley, Granite, and the Royal Kingston. The Bonspiel was a two-game point event.

The winning team, decided by a tie breaking rule, was Perth Curling Club’s rink comprised of Merv Roberts, skip, Al Chaplin, Murray Hunt, Fred Brownlee.

The Brockville Curling Club team

skipped by Al Kennedy took second place. Third and fourth place went to rinks skipped by Gary Froats of the Manotick Curling Club and Brian Doherty of the Smiths Falls Curling Club.

One game high winners were rinks skipped by Navy Curling Club’s Tony Charbonneau and Huntley Curling Club’s Bob Green.

All teams enjoyed lunch and dinner prepared by a willing host of volunteers under the direction of Doreen Simard and Carol Holmes. The ice conditions were near perfect, thanks to the ice tech, Steve Dunne, and the club received numerous positive comments about the ice and the club premises in general.

STAFF

Keep ‘em up high

port that has been shown to this.”

As far as a schedule is concerned, one is still being ironed out.

“For the most part, and from what I’ve seen and heard, the people who are using it are making it (scheduling) work,” Colton said.

If someone wants to skate, and there are hockey players on the ice, they are able to share the ice, Colton said.

“It seems that those who are using the ice are making it work, whether they’re skating or playing hockey,” he said.

For instance, hockey players go to one side of the ice, while the skaters enjoy a puck-free zone at the other end of ice.

Sports – Junior combat trainers with zendragon, Alaiya Blue, left, and Nick Lackey take each other on in the ring.

PROTECT YOUR MAILBOX: Most times when mailboxes get damaged, it is because plowed snow accumulates in front of it, causing increasing weight and pressure against it over the course of the winter. It is your responsibility to keep the area around your mailbox clear of snow. Mailboxes damage by snow load off plow equipment will not be replaced by the Township. The Township will replace a damaged mailbox if the damage is deemed to result from a direct hit by plow equipment. Should your mailbox be damaged, please contact the Municipal office. An inspection and assessment will be made by the Public Works Superintendent.

Making modifications to your vehicle can come with definite risks Lifestyle – I received an email recently from a reader who had been in a collision with his subcompact import. He felt that one of the contributing factors was the close placement of the brake and gas pedals because when he applied the brake in a panic stop, his foot also contacted the gas pedal, thus, (in his opinion), reducing the effectiveness of the brakes. He contacted a manufacturer-approved service department (the company no longer sells passenger vehicles in this country) and mentioned his concern, but was told there were no recalls or bulletins regarding this issue so nothing could be done. Both he and his wife no longer felt safe operating the vehicle so he took it upon himself to modify the brake pedal to provide more space between it and the gas pedal.

I reviewed the data I had access to on this particular make and model and could find no credible sources that indicated the pedal configuration was a problem or risk. Being involved in a collision (even a slight one) can jar more than the nuts and bolts of an auto or the

bones and bodies of its occupants. They can often be emotional events and can leave behind damage that no body shop will ever be able to repair. I myself have been involved in four collisions over five decades of driving and each and every one of them was caused by driving error (my own errors in three of the cases and probably the fourth as well). I never said I was a great driver.

There was very little advice or information I could provide to this reader to change his mind on the safety of this vehicle but I did recommend that he return the pedals to their manufacturer’s original design, even if it meant replacing them with new units. The problem with home-modifying vehicles is that the end results have never been tested in a proper laboratory manner.

I will admit that there are many vehicles on the road today that received such testing and still are collisions waiting to happen; think GM ignition switches and Takata airbag recalls for recent examples. But changing brake and gas pedal configurations represent real risks and

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

injuries. In the event of a severe frontal collision, engine-to-passenger compartment bulkheads and floor panels can intrude into the passenger cabin. These intrusions are often the cause of lower leg injuries. Extending a brake pedal can mean it will contact the driver’s legs in a manner never intended by the manufacturer and will very likely result in more severe injuries. Then there’s the chance that the modification might fail altogether leaving the driver’s foot planted on a disconnected brake pedal in a panic stop.

On a lighter note…

From page 34

“Hi Brian, I think you have discussed this before, but I don’t recall your answer.

My 2005 Vibe’s plastic lenses on headlights have the signs of ageing plastic – is there any product that can clean off the layer of oxidized plastic?

I have no idea how much more it would cost to have glass-covered headlights – the slight cost could be easily added to the cost of a car without anyone really noticing, it seems to me. Of

course, they might not be able to make the fancy wrap-around headlight designs with glass. Are the new halogen headlights glass or plastic?”

Thanks, Up the Creek in North Elmsley There are a variety of products available at auto-parts stores to restore the shine to plastic headlamp lenses with very little effort. Two of the more popular brands are Mother’s and Meguiars (look or ask for headlamp restoration kits). The kits contain one or two grades of liquid abrasives, application

pads, and cleaning fabrics. The process involves using the abrasives to remove the top layer of plastic to restore the clarity of the lenses. There are also companies selling protective self-adhesive clear film to apply to the lamps to protect the lenses. These films will still ‘fog’ with age and exposure to the environment, but when they get too cloudy, you can simply peel them off and replace them. They can and should be applied to older lamps after restoration, because a restored lamp will become cloudy much faster

than a new one.

As far as using glass, I’m afraid that material has gone the way of the fullsized spare tire in auto design. Even halogen and high-intensity discharge lamps use plastic lenses. Plastics are much lighter than glass allowing carmakers to shave off excess weight to meet ever-more stringent fuel economy standards. Plastics also allow designers to create more exotic shapes and configurations in their vehicles’ lamps.

CAR

New Outlander is business-like and distraction free Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships.

I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higherend models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff.

It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Rivington Mitsubishi in Carleton Place.

The Mitsubishi Outlander for 2015 is in its second year of a redesign, and while it’s considered a compact SUV, its interior space for cargo and passengers fall well into the mid-sized segment. Mitsubishis of late are well known for their clean lines and uncluttered body exteriors, both traits that keep them looking fresh long into their lives; a good thing considering Mitsubishi is still the warranty-leader with an amazing 10-year/160,000 km power-train coverage.

The Outlander is offered in four trim/equipment levels and starts at $25,998 for the ES front-wheel drive and goes up to $39,098 for a fully-loaded GT all-wheel drive.

My GT tester from Rivington Mitsubishi (only missing navigation and upgraded paint) crossed the price line at $36,198 (all prices before destination fees, dealer prep, taxes, license fees, or current incentives). The first two ES level Outlanders are powered by a 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine and the GT’s find a 3.0 L V6 under the hood mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The V6 puts out a respectable 227 hp and with the shift patterns of the transmission

Auto Know

Brian turner

provides a very strong acceleration band.

As clean and distraction-free as its exterior, the inside of the Outlander is equally businesslike but with a surprising amount of thought put into comfort and safety. Front seats are supportive and easy on the long haul and no one will feel crowded even when wearing bulky winter clothing. The third row seating is, as with most compact and mid-sized SUV’s and cross-overs, best left to the younger set, but it folds flat when not in use, providing a solid load floor for cargo and gear. The second row has a one-touch release and slide control to provide easy access to the rearmost seats and will fold flat for a class-leading 1,792 litres (63 cubic feet) of space. A power and remote operated lift-gate and low entry level makes loading and unloading a breeze.

The Outlander’s all-wheel drive system is controlled by a handy rotary switch and gives drivers four options; Eco, normal, snow, and lock. In Eco mode, power is supplied to the front wheels until wheel slippage is noted by sensors and then the rear wheels are instantly brought into play. Snow settings keep power to the rears continually and the lock setting is for off-road or county back-roads.

Most SUV makers forget that their customers may actually need this type of control but Mitsubishi has always offered it in their vehicles.

I lucked out and road tested the Outlander on a particularly snippy winter day giving the heating system a full workout (this is a fast warm-up creature) and having a chance to gauge the squeak and rattle level that many modern materials cause on cold days.

The Outlander was as quiet as a mouse and was sure-footed, even on snow-packed roads. The power train was equally quiet, requiring more than an occasional glance at the speedometer as the legal limit can quickly be surpassed with little gas-pedal effort.

Mitsubishi has traded some cosmetic features commonly found

on higher-level SUVs for the latest in safety technology. Rather than heated seats and steering wheels (we do dress for winter, don’t we?) the Outlander has lane departure warning, forward collision mitigation, and adaptive cruise control (very surprising in a mid-$30,000 vehicle).

Fuel mileage for the V6 Outlander is also impressive at 11.5 L/100 km city and 8.4 L/100 km highway (24.6 mpg and 33.6 mpg respectively). Its 60 L tank should deliver a 550 km range in mixed driving and cost less than $60 to fill at $1/L. The P225/55R18 tires my tester wore are available from a large selection of manufacturers starting at $150 each.

As with other vehicles in the Mitsubishi family, the Outlander is feature-laden for its price point.

But they have gone one step further to package the right mix of safety, styling, and performance into a very livable transport that can go beyond simply meeting the needs of their owners. Learn to enjoy Canadian winter driving again and check out the Outlander.

Yours in service, Brian Turner

DEATH NOTICE

HICKEY Bernard Patrick It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Bernie on January 21, 2015 in his 85th year.

Bernie was the cherished husband of Rita (O’Brien) for 60 years. He was a loving father to Pat (Carol), Greg (Rita), Brian, John (Jane), Tony, Danny (Sherri), Des (Colleen), Mary Ann (deceased 1988) and Kevin (Cheri). He was a special grandfather to Kelvin (Heather), Krista (Adam), Don (Ashley), David (Olivia), Julia, Harrison, Jenna, Matthew, Liam, Tristan, Jaxon, Grace, Tara (Winston), and Derek (Kellie). Bernie was predeceased by his parents Joseph Hickey and Irene Sheehan, his sister Joan, and brothers Merv (Yvonne), Leo, and Wilfrid. He is survived by several nieces and nephews. Born and raised on “Hickey Road” in the homestead of his Irish ancestors in North Onslow, Quebec, Bernie and his family eventually settled with his father on the “farm” in Almonte. A proud retiree of OC Transpo, Bernie spent 39 years behind the wheel of a bus. When it came to driver safety records and providing service to the public, he set the bar at the highest level. A life long farmer Bernie took great pride in working the land, tending the cattle and providing for his family. In the valley he was renowned for the quality of his herd, his love of haggling out a good deal, his deep knowledge of the farming industry, his willingness to help those in need, his handshake.

Cherished daughter of Maria Solomon and the late Walter Zeritsch. Vibrant mother of Erika Cuccaro (Joseph) and James Ainslie Bertram and adored Oma to Matteo and Leona Cuccaro. Sonja will be sorely missed by heartbroken family and friends across Canada, Austria, and Liechtenstein.

Sonja developed a deep love of her adopted homeland as she learned English and attended school. After graduating from Gloucester High School, Sonja started work at Met Life in Ottawa.

Sonja will be remembered for her charisma, wisdom, and open-hearted personality that made all feel welcome in her presence. She created a cozy nest of a home and enjoyed treating family and friends to home-cooked meals, sparkling conversation, and - always laughter.

Doug, Deb, Erin, Michael and family

God knew that you were suffering, He knew you would never get well again, He saw the road was hard to climb, As we sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed and sore We did our best to the end, Til we could do no more.

We strive to continue your heritage, character, Values, work ethic and humour.

We miss your stories and your wisdom, There has never been anyone more true.

With steady hand, you worked the land, And kept the family name.

You strived so hard from day to day, And never once complained, your resting place we visit, And quietly remember, But no one knows the sorrow, As we turn and leave you there.

Fondly loved and deeply mourned, Heart of my heart, I miss you so; Often my darling my tears will flow; Dimming your picture where’er I go; ‘Tis sad but true, I will Forever loved, abide, Until some day we’ll be Tammy, Lynn, Barry and Family side by side.

In loving memory of our Mom (Grandma) Irene (January 29, 2003), Dad (Grandpa) Ernie (January 3, 2011), Brother Allan (February 14, 2012) and Love Always, Niece Irene (December 28, Betty 2012)

UNSWORTH

In Memory of our Sister JANICE FAYE BENNETT Sadly missed by her sisters and brothers, Lynda (Darwin) Smith of Havelock, Dayna Rathwell, Fred (Carol) Stanzel of Merrickville, Clinton (Sylvia) Stanzel of Smiths Falls, Jackie (Tony) Noonan, June Lackey, Karmel (Bryan) Tysick of Perth

BENSON - In loving memory of Harvey Cecil Benson who passed away February 2, 1986, a loving husband, dad, grandpa & great-grampa.

He went away without farewell, He said goodbye to none, But Heaven’s gate was open wide, And a loving voice, said “come”.

Beside his grave, we often stand, Our hearts are tired and sore, But through this gloom We hear the words, Not deceased, just gone before.

Lovingly remembered Mary Susan, John, Dorothy, Shawn, Matt & families.

You’ve just walked on ahead of me And I’ve got to understand You must release the ones you love And let go of their hand.

I try and cope the best I can But I’m missing you so much If only I would see you And once more feel your touch.

Yes, you just walked on ahead of me Don’t worry I’ll be fine But now and then I swear I feel your hand slip into mine.
