Council approves 2015 tax increase Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

After over 2,500 budget decisions, the hardest one was made this week with a recorded vote of four to three to pass a 2.11 per cent mill rate increase in the Town of Smiths Falls this year.

The decision was made after over 20 hours of budget deliberations, and didn’t come without a commitment to residents that council would tackle operating costs with a service review this year.

“We’re committed to finding cost savings that make sense,” said Mayor Shawn Pankow. “ I agree Councillor [Dawn] Quinn, our taxes are too high, but we’re not going to meet those challenges today.”

He had a meeting with CAO Malcolm Morris this Monday, April 20 and noted a staff report will be coming to comSee TAXES page SF2

Proceeds to the Smiths Falls Food Bank

Union mobilizer warns provincial strike could be on way and the power plant scandal.

“We didn’t make this mess, but we’re the ones they’re going to make pay for it…we will see members lost because of this,” Hanson said. He called on the province to “deal reasonably with the unions. We only want what is fair.”

While Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals were returned to office with a majority government last June, partially because of then-Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak announcing that he would fire thousands of civil servants if he became premier, Hanson feels that the job cuts are coming regardless – Wynne, unlike Hudak, simply did not announce the cuts.

“Red tie, blue tie, I don’t think it made on little bit of difference,” he said.

Anne Leach, president of OPSEU local 437, said that OPSEU members work not only in the local Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, but also provincial workplaces as diverse at the parole office, Ministry of Natural Resources, community and protective services, and others.

“We’re not an ivory tower bunch,” said Leach. “We work

here, we live here.”

Another concern for the protesters, who later marched down Elmsley Street North, past the Memorial Centre, the Smiths Falls hospital, and Cornelia Court, was

about privatization.

Treidlinger charged that the Wynne Liberals want to make it “simpler and easier to privatize,” but he shot back that the public service “can do it cheaper and better…(but)

they will find a way to privatize anything.” He pointed to the Ontario Disability Support Program, which he said had only 3.6 per cent administrative costs in 2011-12, “to run a very confusing, complex system.”

A union protest last week heard that increasing privatization and upcoming labour disagreements with the provincial government could lead to a strike.

“We’re heading towards a strike,” warned Ben Treidlinger, a mobilizer for OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union), during a protest in front of the Ontario parole and probation office in Smiths Falls on Thursday, April 16.

OPSEU is in the midst of bargaining with the provincial government, and, by their estimation, it is not going well.

The union first met with the province last November, coming up with an offer that, according to Treidlinger, had “60 takeaways, zero enlargements,” and a wage freeze, as well as a five per cent cut to the pay of new hires. There would also be cuts to benefits and sick pay.

“We basically said no to the offer,” said Treidlinger, standing in the parking lot off of Glen Avenue, near one of Smiths Falls’ major intersections at Elmsley Street North and Beckwith Street North. A

strike vote was held in January which won the approval of membership – after which the province essentially “threw (the) same offer on the table.

They are forcing the issue. We are looking at give and take.

They take and we give.”

John Hanson, president of OPSEU local 416, noted that as much as 30 per cent of Smiths Falls’ working population was employed in the public service, and that he is seeing “all of the good jobs cut and slashed… taken away and privatized.”

And, once they are privatized, “it all ends up in a corporate pocket.”

Another reason for the protest was to fight what the union members present felt was misrepresentation in the media.

“We’re not paid the big wages like people say (we are),” said Hanson. “We’ve been so vilified in the press.”

While he works in Ottawa himself, at Algonquin College, in communities throughout eastern Ontario, “we are part of your community,” said Hanson. “We’re the volunteers in the community. We’re not the ones that wasted billions,” in various scandals like eHealth and the Ornge air ambulance

Kemptville medical team heading to Africa on mission May 6 Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

Everyone deserves access to medical care and that’s exactly what a local group from Rideau Crossing Family Health Centre will provide over a two-week period in Africa this May. Seven health professionals from the health centre: Lisa LaCombe, Donna Sarrazin, Rebecca Everett, Megan Sarrazin, Kelcy DePooter, Dr. Jonathan Rathwell and Dr. Tara McCallan; along with Kemptville District Hospital emergency room doctor, Dr. Rehana Rouf, will head to Ukerewe, Tanzania on a medical mission May 6 to 24. The team will join others from across the region on the trip, made possible through the Canada Africa Community Health Alliance (CACHA), an Ottawa-based non-governmental organization.

In a final push to raise funds for the

mission, the group held a fundraising garage sale April 18 at the health centre, located at the entrance to the eQuinelle community. According to LaCombe, administrative co-ordinator at the Rideau Crossing Family Health Centre, each attendee must fundraise the costs of the trip (approximately $5,200). This covers airfare, as well as other mission-related expenses, including additional projects and hospital admissions and surgeries for Ukerewe residents.

“It’s my first experience so I’m hoping we make a difference,” LaCombe noted. “Our goal is ideally to be able to go back every 18 months and really do whatever we can.”

Funds have been raised over the last year through the grand opening celebration of Rideau Crossing and a dance/silent auction this past February that raised $7,000 for the cause.

LaCombe indicated the community

has been supportive and many donated items for the April 18 sale, which included a bake table and barbecue.

Armed each with a big bin of medical supplies, LaCombe said each day the team will help out different communities on the island of Ukerewe.

Over the two weeks, the group could help out up from 3,500 to 4,500 people and give out more than 14,000 prescriptions.

“Every day we will load up in a

caravan and be driven out into the remote areas of Africa and provide pop-up clinics for residents,” she explained. “In the villages, people will line up and we’ll put them through and assess their medical situation.”

LaCombe said the need for medical care in these remote areas is critical. “They (Ukerewe) have no medical care and it is four hours from the mainland of Tanzania,” she noted.

“They rely on the people who come

and in each village, you can see 300 or more people line up. We will see however many we can and the others we can’t, will wait another six months for the next mission to arrive.”

The team is there to provide critical medical care, but the one free weekend they have, LaCombe said will be used to explore the culture.

To support the medical mission, visit www.cacha.ca or www.rideaucrossingfhc.ca to make a donation.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County’s 3M Golf for the Kids May 30 Happy to see the sunshine? After such a long winter, plan to get out on the golf course for a good cause.

Mapleview Golf & Country Club in Perth will once again be the location for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County annual golf tournament on May 30 to raise funds for local mentoring programs.

3M Perth is once again the title sponsor, supporting the local agency and their goal of ensuring that “every child in Lanark County that needs a mentor has a mentor.”

The fun-filled day is a shot gun start and the $85 registration fee includes a continental breakfast, barbecued

lunch, a cart and 18 holes. Register early and save $5. There is a chance to bid on West Jet tickets on the silent auction table among many other great finds.

Sponsorships help increase the bottom line for the agency, and there are many options available, including hole sponsors, food sponsors, and more. It is great visibility for local businesses, and great support for an agency helping kids right here at home.

Mentoring programs are about prevention and building resilience. The research indicates that by providing children and youth with positive role models, mentoring programs demon-

strate to them that they are valued, and that they possess the strength to overcome the obstacles they will undoubtedly face as they grow older. Mentoring also plays an important role in the future direction a child will decide to take later on in life, paving the way to a future full of possibilities.

Children who have been in mentoring programs see real, positive change.

The children involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters go on to graduate from high school at a rate of 20 per cent higher than the national average. Seventy-eight per cent of those children who came from a social assistance background no longer rely on this

Supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters can have big results. It can be as simple as a game of golf.

For more information about the tournament, or about other ways to get involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, please call 613-283-0570 or visit their website at www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca.

form of income and a disproportionately high number of former Littles graduate from college or university compared to others in their age group.

On the other hand, children who are denied the benefit of a positive role model are children who will continue to be deemed “at risk”, and not children “on the brink of success.”

Your baby is born…now what?

Where should your baby be in the first hour after birth? Skin-to-skin? Absolutely…

With the birth of your baby, their transition to life outside the womb begins. The best place for babies to learn about their new world is on the mother’s chest with skin contact. On your chest your baby’s senses will be stimulated by touch, sight, sound, smell and taste. It is a safe, warm place for mother and baby to bond, provide comfort and begin to learn baby’s early ways to tell you “I’m

hungry”. In this first hour it is a time to slow down, there is no rush…your baby is here…enjoy holding your baby…enjoy touching and smelling your baby… enjoy knowing you are helping your baby’s heartbeat, breathing and blood sugar stabilize and to stay warm – all with your touch. You are a parent and welcome to the first hour.

“The health unit encourages all expectant families to make skin-to-skin part of their birth plan,” says public health nurse, Tanis Brown.

Skin-to-skin time with your baby is

an important first step.

Green light given for beer to be sold in grocery stores throughout Ontario value of assets and that ensure that every public dollar is at work for the people of Ontario — we are positioning our province to thrive, long into the future.”

Expanding the sale of beer by up to 450 more locations is roughly equal to the existing number of Beer Store outlets and is in addition to the more than 600 LCBO stores across the province. Ontario is entering into a new Beer Framework Agreement with the owners of the Beer Store that will open up ownership to small brewers; create a new craft category to better profile craft beer; extend the Ontario Deposit Return Program beyond 2017; and generate an additional $100 million a year in revenues for the province, phased in over four years. The government intends to introduce legislation that would, if passed, permit these changes to be implemented.

The industry’s largest brewers have separately committed to comply with the government’s request that they cap price increases to inflation for some of their most popular beer products until May 2017, unless there are material changes to the industry.

The government will continue to uphold the principles of social responsibility by maintaining strict controls over how beer is sold in these new locations. The province will ensure the sale of alcohol is restricted to set hours, is in a designated section of each store, and that all staff selling alcohol in grocery stores are properly certified and fully trained to ensure Ontario’s standards for social responsibility are always met.

performance and generate value for Ontarians, the Ontario government intends to broaden ownership of Hydro One through an initial public offering. Following the IPO, the Ontario government would be the largest shareholder and, by law, no other shareholder or group of shareholders would be permitted to own more than 10 per cent. As a result the government would retain de facto control. The opportunity to buy into Hydro One would be made available in stages in order to maximize return to taxpayers.

As is currently the case, Hydro One would have no role in setting rates. Rates would continue to be set by the independent Ontario Energy Board (OEB). The government also intends to strengthen the regulatory powers of the OEB to protect ratepayers and investigate complaints.

The province intends to proceed with a merger of Hydro One Brampton with Enersource, PowerStream and Horizon Utilities. The merger of these strongperforming utilities will create the second-largest electricity distributor in Ontario and allow for the new, larger company to use its collective resources to deliver a favourable impact on rates, more efficient services and innovative technologies for customers. The merger will also help catalyze Local Distribution Company consolidation for the benefit of ratepayers.

The government intends to introduce legislation this spring that would, if passed, guarantee that net proceeds from the ownership changes to Hydro One and any net proceeds from the merger will go Province to sell off portion of to the Trillium Trust and be used Hydro One to finance transit, transportation In order to strengthen long-term and other priority infrastructure

projects across the province.

Maximizing the value of these assets is part of the government’s economic plan for Ontario. The four-part plan is building Ontario up by investing in people’s talents and skills, building public infrastructure like roads and transit, creating a dynamic, innovative environment where business thrives and building a secure retirement savings plan. “(This) announcement will make the electricity system more effective. It will allow Hydro One to become a fully modernized company that is highly effective and still carefully regulated. It will give ordinary Ontarians the chance to invest in a great asset.

And it will help government invest in infrastructure right across Ontario,” said Bob Chiarelli, Minister of Energy.

Quick facts • Ontarians will pay the same price for the same beer, regardless of where is it sold. Under Ontario’s uniform pricing policy, the beer price that is set by the brewer is the price the consumer pays, whether the product is sold in the LCBO, the Beer Store, the brewer’s own on-site store, or, now, in a grocery store.

Higher-than-anticipated revenues from assets mean there will be an additional $2.6 billion in Moving Ontario Forward funding available — for a total of $31.5 billion in dedicated funds available over 10 years.

• The Moving Ontario Forward plan is expected to support more than 20,000 jobs per year, on average, in construction and related industries.

• The LCBO will pilot the sale of 12-packs of beer in 10 stores across the province.

Ontario is moving ahead with its plan to unlock the value of certain public assets to help support unprecedented investments in transit, transportation and other priority infrastructure projects through the Moving Ontario Forward plan. This represents the largest infrastructure investment in Ontario’s history.

In the biggest change since the repeal of prohibition, Ontario is expanding beer sales to up to an additional 450 locations across the province to give Ontarians more convenience and choice, while maintaining a strong commitment to social responsibility.

“Ontario consumers have asked for more convenience, wider distribution and greater competition in the purchase of beer and alcohol beverages. We have listened and are modernizing the system to enhance delivery and selection at competitive prices while ensuring our commitment to social responsibility, said Charles Souza, Minister of Finance.

The province will also broaden the ownership of Hydro One to create lasting public benefits and ongoing public protections.

These changes, following recommendations from the Premier’s Advisory Council on Government Assets, chaired by Ed Clark, will strengthen the economy, create thousands of jobs and generate $4 billion that would be set aside for infrastructure investments.

“These changes will strengthen our economy, create thousands of jobs and generate $4 billion for investment in infrastructure projects — representing the largest infrastructure investment in Ontario’s history,” said Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. “By making smart business decisions now — decisions that unlock the

A

s local residents are being asked to support the Canadian Cancer Society during the Daffodil Month national fundraising campaign, we note the upcoming Relay for Life events planned for Almonte June 5 at Gemmill Park and June 13 in Smiths Falls at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute track. Dozens of teams take part in those annual overnight events in support of the ongoing fight against a disease that takes many forms and affects so many of us.

Students and staff at St. John Catholic High School in Perth, as well as St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville have also been doing a great job by hosting their own Relay for Life events over the past several years. After lying dormant since 2003, St. Michael’s resurrected their run in September 2011 and are set to host it once again this year on May 22 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. They announced their intentions to raise $35,000 for cancer research during their Relay for Life kick-off at the school last week.

St. John’s are old pros at the Relay for Life, marking 13 years hosting the event

at the school. Their fundraiser will also take place May 22 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., with a $50,000 goal. Last year, the school community and 320 participants were able to raise $52,000 over the 12-hour relay. Even more impressive is the fact that over the past 13 years, the combined total raised for the Canadian Cancer Society by St. John’s is $577,000.

This event underscores the importance of celebrating life and supporting those who struggle to overcome cancer and remembering others who lost their battles with the disease.

So in addition to buying and wearing daffodil pins and making donations to the society, local residents can support the cancer society by collecting pledges and taking part in one of the Relay for Life events in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville area this spring or making a pledge on behalf of someone who is getting involved. The student-led efforts at St. Michael’s and St. John’s and many other high schools in Canada show that people of all ages have a role to play in these major community endeavours.

Seed ordering was one exciting yearly tradition for Mary and the family By the time Mother had written out her order on the last sheet of the Steele-Briggs seed catalogue, the pages were practically in shreds after many hours of pouring over the choices she would make.

with a firm nod of her head. “Fat chance,” Father would say from his place near the Findlay Oval.

From the day the little catalogue arrived, it rarely left the end of the old pine table in the kitchen. Mother liked nothing better than to thumb through its pages, and with a pencil put an ‘X’ beside what she thought she might order. Seeds for tomatoes, cucumbers and beans seemed to interest her the most, while pictures of big green watermelons kept me captive, and I hoped with all my heart that Mother would put a pencil mark beside the picture that took most of one page.

Finally, she would have made her choices. The form was filled in from the back of the catalogue and the order sent off in the mail in an envelope with a

box would be. Sometimes it would come from Montreal, and sometimes all they way from out west...another miracle as far as I was concerned. Of course, Mother would have to have the money in her hand to pay for the seeds, because the box would come to us C.O.D. Mother knew how much I loved seeing the box of seeds and so the day it would arrive, she wouldn’t open it until after supper and I was allowed to get the scissors out of the sewing machine drawer and cut the strings and open the box.

And there would be all those beautiful packets of seeds! Just like the pictures in the catalogue. I would line them up on the table after the kitchen had been redded up and stand them up against a drinking glass, all in order, so that I could see them better. And everything was in vivid colours. The tomatoes were the brightest red, and the cucumbers vivid green.

I would take a packet over to show Father sitting beside the Findlay Oval and he would look it over, make a grunting sound without taking his pipe out of his mouth and that would be it. And

sometime during the evening, he would again say the very same seeds could be bought right down the road at Briscoe’s General Store...and you wouldn’t have had to waste three cents on a stamp either.

But nothing could dampen my joy of playing with those crisp little packets of seeds. Soon Mother would plant them in little wood boxes Father had made years before and they would sit in the kitchen until they sprouted and it was time to move them to the garden.

I watched them daily and when the first spot of green appeared, I was ecstatic. I’m not sure if I was more excited about the actual growth of the plants, or marveling again at the fact that by simply sitting down at the kitchen table and sending off an order to some far away city, a parcel would arrive. And that parcel in due course would turn into an ample garden and feed us for months to come. Yes, a miracle indeed. All for the cost of a three-cent stamp!

The people of Ontario now have another way to report a minor crime. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding the public about their online reporting system as an alternative to having an officer attend a scene for a minor incident. Citizen Self Reporting (CSR) has rolled out across the province and the OPP is proud to offer this

simple and efficient new system as a means of reporting certain minor incidents and crimes.

The OPP’s Citizen Self Reporting is an easy to use Internet reporting tool that can be accessed from a computer or mobile device and sent directly to the OPP anywhere, anytime.

This online reporting system will al-

low the public to report specific crimes such as lost property, stolen license plates, theft from vehicles, driving complaints, and property damage without an officer having to be dispatched to the scene, provided there are no suspects, injuries or the incident is not an emergency.

LETTER targets, with no plans to achieve them.

So far it has been the provinces that have taken the most action but until now there has been no co-ordinated effort. The revenue neutral carbon tax in BC that began in 2008 has been called the most effective carbon pricing mechanism in the world. It has significantly reduced the use of fossil fuels in BC while the economy has remained healthy. BC Premier Christy Clark missed the premiers’ meeting because she was in New York City to talk about the successful carbon tax.

Kudos to Ontario for being the first jurisdiction in North America to close all of its coal fired generating stations thus significantly improving air quality.

Economic experts say that the single most effective policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to put a price on carbon. Canada’s Ecofiscal Commission’s report, “The Way Forward”, released on April 7, compared the economic impact, as measured by growth in gross domestic product (GDP), that there would be in 2020 if regulation or market-based carbon pricing were used to manage carbon pollution and we were to meet our current greenhouse gas reduction targets. The marketbased carbon pricing mechanism could be either a well-designed cap and trade or an efficient carbon fee (a.k.a. tax or levy). The result: GDP in 2020 is approximately 3.8 per cent better under carbon pricing than it is under a regulatory approach.

Ontario is now taking bold action to put a price on carbon by joining Quebec and California in a cap and trade scheme. However the design and implementation will be crucial to the success of the system. Making it revenue neutral, not allowing any industry

Accept the baton – Be part of Relay For Life 2015 in Smiths Falls The Canadian Cancer Society is making some bold changes to its Relay For Life event this year. To help welcome more families and people, the event on Saturday, June 13 will feature a shorter event duration, running from 6 p.m. to midnight. Participants can join the event as individuals, or as part of a team of friends, relatives or coworkers.

“This year’s new format will still encompass all of the amazing aspects that people love about Relay but will be packed into a six-hour event,” says Leanne Waddell, manager of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Lanark, Leeds & Grenville community office. “No matter where you live, cancer touches all of

our lives. We are excited to evolve and strengthen our signature fundraiser in order to raise more money to fight back against the disease,” she adds.

Changes have been made in order to make the event more accessible for individuals and families who are volunteering and participating in the Relay, including shifting the event to the Saturday instead of Friday.

“A few other communities piloted some of these changes last year with great success,” says Waddell. “Our local community crew of dedicated volunteers are working hard to make sure participants experience the same feelings of community and support that

have made it such a powerful event for the past 15 years.”

Regular physical activity helps protect against cancer. It’s also one of the best ways to stay at a healthy body weight, which reduces a person’s risk of cancer. It is for these reasons that the Society is reintroducing Relay batons to the event and encouraging Relay For Life participants to set a distance goal for the event (e.g. one to 10 KM) on an individual or team basis. Pre-event training walk sessions will be offered to participants and led by volunteer walk leaders.

To help event participants meet or exceed a fundraising goal of $150, the

society will also provide motivational participant coaching to all registrants.

Relay For Life is the Canadian Cancer Society’s signature fundraiser. In 2014, Relay For Life events in Lanark, Leeds & Grenville raised over $285,000.

Money raised through Relay For Life helps patients and their families in our community. Donations fund life-saving research, support services, and other important work so that someday no Canadian will fear the word cancer.

“The magic of Relay will return again this year, and we are anticipating a very fun event!” says Waddell.

“We are excited to see everyone back at this year’s event and to hear feedback

on the new format.”

What keeps Mississippi Mudds members coming back time and again What’s it like doing amateur theatre?

We asked a number of experienced Mississippi Mudds members, who are currently in rehearsal for the next production – the Broadway hit retelling of the story of the Princess and the Pea called Once Upon a Mattress – why they enjoy it so much, and what keeps them coming back.

Angela Sotiropoulos, who plays Lady Beatrice, has been involved with the Mudds for 21

years, and has taken on a variety of different jobs over this time.

“Having amateur theatre as one of my extracurricular activities has allowed me to develop a lot of different skills,” she says.

“I’ve been an actor, a singer, and a dancer. I’ve worked backstage, as well – in stage management, costumes, set building and painting – as well as front of house.”

She jokes, “Hang around here long enough, you get a shot at everything!”

The opportunities for selfgrowth are another benefit that

long-time members point out.

Michele Eno states, “I started out in the chorus a few years ago, and now I’m playing the villain, the Evil Queen!

“When you’re part of a group that takes a story and songs — starting with just the words and notes on the page – and turns them into a successful stage production, your confidence goes through the roof. It’s helped me a lot.”

Robert Horne, a longtime member who is playing the poor henpecked King in this show,

puts it another way.

“Of course it’s a lot of fun to put on a show, but it can also be hard work. Doing something like this means that you have to develop a lot of self-discipline and manage your time, not only in the rehearsal hall, but also at home: learning the lines and the songs, and working out your character and the details of your stage performance. Developing the ability to do that boosts your self confidence, as well,” he says.

And of course there are the lifelong friendships that develop

over the course of putting on a show.

“You get a lot of support from all the cast and crew around you,” says Trish Smith, who plays the Minstrel.

“Those people are a gift – a diverse social network that provides mutual support on and off the stage. And that gives you the confidence to put in the effort and do it again.”

Of course, to really see the proof of all of this, you’ll have to come out and see the show.

Once Upon A Mattress, by the

Mississippi Mudds of Carleton Place, will be presented at the Carleton Place Town Hall Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 26, Saturday, April 27, Thursday, April 30, Friday, May 1, and Saturday, May 2.

There will also be a 2 p.m.

Sunday matinee performance on April 28.

Tickets are available at Reads Book Shop at 135 Bridge St., 613-257-7323 or at the door.

Indie-film power trio with Perth roots set sights on million-dollar film deal Staff

With the recent announcement of the CineCoup Accelerator challenge, Waterloo, Ont. filmmaking trio Adrian Konstant, Jason Green and Michael Wurtz are hoping you never look at a mailbox the same way again.

Production has started in the KW area on their upcoming action-comedy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Postmenâ&#x20AC;? a fresh new look at the hero genre.

The CineCoup Film Accelerator is a disruptive studio model for indie filmmakers to develop, market and produce feature films. Filmmaking teams apply to CineCoup with a movie trailer then advance, over a 12-week period, through a gamified selection funnel using CineCoupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social web platform.

In the end they could be one of the optioned (up to 10) projects or be the

big winner to be greenlit for production with (up to) $1 million in production financing and a release in Cineplex Theatres.

The Perth connection is that both Wurtz and Green are graduates of Perth and District Collegiate Institute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty excited about this project and even if we land in the top five thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a huge deal for us,â&#x20AC;? Wurtz said.

The story Their story focuses on the postal carrier. In fact, the next caped crusader could be your postal worker, they said.

A year after a roadside bomb takes his leg, Luke Walker is ready to join the world of working stiffs in his tiny hometown. Assuming the role of a junior postal worker, Walker is thrust into

a world of danger and discovers that the American postal carriers are in fact an ultra-secret branch of civil service that truly quiet anything that goes bump in the night.

Under the grizzled tutelage of his veteran training manager, Cliff, he stumbles into a web of intrigue and finds himself seemingly out-matched, out gunned and out-legged as he battles a Swiss plot to take over the world.

Discover the secret world of The Postmen!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will never look at a mailbox the same way again,â&#x20AC;? the trio promises.

Green adds: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fair bit of funny, in a Lethal Weapon way.â&#x20AC;?

Green and Wurtz grew up in the area got into filming and began â&#x20AC;&#x153;just messing around with itâ&#x20AC;? in high school.

The trio cruised through the top 60 and now need help to make it to the top 30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voting has been going really well,â&#x20AC;?

Wurtz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our poster was voted number one and that was great.â&#x20AC;?

The trio is looking for help now with voting for the top 30, which will conclude Friday April 24 at 9 p.m.

Kids, puddles and mud enduring spring tradition Put more spring

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

river runs through it. The Mississippi River no less and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beauty. We are so fortunate to have the river! And as I tell my Tennessee friends, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky we let them borrow the name for one of their rivers.

Jerry and I were talking one day and the subject of spring and the river came up. Jerry recalls that as a youngster he, his pals and every kid in Carleton Place were drawn to the river every spring. The Mississippi was a magnet.

Spring tradition As the snow melted and the river rose children flocked to the river banks to play. Dropping a stick, or even better a little homemade boat of some kind, into the shallows and watching it take off offered a special thrill.

Something you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a price on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And our parents werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worried,â&#x20AC;? Jerry remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sure, we were all warned to be careful along the river. But we respected the fast water!â&#x20AC;? He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall any serious incidents involving children of his acquaintance.

And in those days Carleton Place was less than half the size it is today. Everybody knew everyone else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The river was a special place for us kids,â&#x20AC;? Jerry says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very different now. You just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that (kids playing along the river bank) any more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe people are too scared to let their children go near the river,â&#x20AC;? he muses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too bad, because as long as you respect it the river edge is a great place to be.â&#x20AC;?

Yes, we both had very similar childhoods. My parents and my friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; folks were also very trusting. At the time Stittsville had only a few hundred residents so no doubt they could afford to be more carefree.

Outside of the usual warnings, none of us was supervised when we made our annual spring sojourns along the creek and waterfilled ditches which were once the main method of drainage in communities that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a sewer system. Places like Stittsville in the 1950s and `60s.

Some of my formative years were spent in the new, little white bungalow on Elm Street that my parents Howard and Molly pur-

chased in 1954.

By the time me, my brother Randy and our sister Linda were in school another builder was expanding the subdivision as the first growth spurt of what has now become a tidal wave of development, hit the then small village.

The building project only went so far before the contractor ran out of money. A small network of unfinished dirt roads, with wide ditches on either side, was left in their wake. Everyone who lived nearby referred to the drainage ditches as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the trenches.â&#x20AC;?

It was a swampy place actually. In winter the area was great for snowmobiling, a sport that was just gaining ground or cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

In the spring the melting snow and ice filled the trenches to overflowing and turned the unpaved roads into a quagmire.

It was the perfect place to go if you were a kid. It was also the scourge of every mother with an old wringer washer.

When I was growing up the first rite of spring was getting â&#x20AC;&#x153;a soaker.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing quite like the thrill of wading into a stream or ditch until the rushing water is over your boot tops.

The kids would howl as the cold water filled their boots. We wore our sodden socks like the Red Badge of Courage.

One incident I will never forget occurred one Saturday morning in the early 1960s. Randy and I and his boyhood friend Larry Parks (heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now coaching menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey in Norway) headed for the trenches and some fun in the mud. Those spring hijinks were more enjoyable than taking a sap bucket off a maple tree and putting your tongue under the spigot!

Sinking feeling That year the mud was particularly deep and incredibly sticky. We hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t covered much ground along the abandoned roadway before our boots began to sink. With each step it became increasingly difficult to extricate ourselves.

I was the oldest and the wisest as it turned out. I eventually folded my arms, stopped in my tracks and told Randy and Larry I was putting the brakes on this

particular adventure.

They pressed on. I can still picture two little boys, plunging through the mud, giggling at their inability to pull their boots out of the slime.

My brother finally realized if they ventured much farther they were going to become stuck. He retreated to where I was standing.

Larry, who always liked to push the envelope, kept going.

Two or three steps more and he began to slowly sink into the mire. His boots disappeared, with him in them!

Larry laughed at his own predicament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move,â&#x20AC;? he said, as if we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that.

Randy and I cautiously waded forward. We each grabbed an arm and tried to pull him out.

But tug and yank as we might, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t free him.

Finally we gave an almighty heave and out Larry popped. Minus his boots. And there he stood in a light, spring rain in his sock feet in the mud. We all exploded in laughter!

We tried to pull his now empty boots free. They had sunk too deep and the mud at that point was like quicksand.

There was nothing left to do but walk home. Randy and I wearing our muddy boots and Larry in slimy, saturated, mudcaked socks. He was quite a sight!

We passed our home and went with him to his nearby home. We had to see what his mother Beryl was going to say.

Predictably Mom was not amused. By this time Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socks were elongated and dragging when he walked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where are your boots,â&#x20AC;? she demanded loudly. Larry, the only boy among a brood of girls, timidly outlined the sorry details.

We tried to suppress smirks.

To make a long story short Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Weldon was summoned from a job site (he was an electrician) to undertake the boot recovery mission. By that time we were safely home. We could picture Weldy taking No. 1 son by the ear and marching him back to the trenches. Larry told us later that his Dad needed a shovel to dig the boots out.

Weldy was not amused.

We have laughed about that spring â&#x20AC;&#x153;outingâ&#x20AC;? many times since.

So when I saw some young lads splashing in mud puddles last week it all came flooding back.

Kids, puddles and mud. The perfect spring combination and an enduring Canadian tradition!

Spring finally asserted itself last week and none too soon!

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember enjoying a day this year as much as I enjoyed last Monday (April 13).

The mercury topped the 20C mark and for only the second time this season Kathleen and I sat on our backyard deck and fired up the gas barbecue at dinnertime. The previous week, on Good Friday, the deck still held quite a bit of snow and ice. That underlines how cold and miserable the winter of 2014-15 really was!

Last week and the previous weekend gave all of us in eastern Ontario reason for some hope in the weather department.

For me a sure sign of spring is little children sloshing through puddles. I saw several examples the past couple of weeks as the last of the snow slowly melted and the water ran along the gutters in our Carleton Place neighbourhood. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure many of you witnessed similar scenes in your community.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is heartwarming to see the little ones splashing around in puddles although not so much for parents who discover their kids standing in water with their shoes on instead of boots. When the snow starts to melt Mom or Dad need to put the wellies front and centre. Parents should make sure their little prince or princess is suitably fitted with rubber boots when they head outside to play.

Mind you, it is heartwarming for me to see children playing outside period. In the age of video games, portable devices and big screen TV, kids and outdoor play are strangers in far too many cases.

More than half a century ago, when I was a kidâ&#x20AC;ŚDid I actually write half a century ago? (Talk about dating yourself!)

Anyway, when I was a youngster things were different. As soon as children were steady on their pins parents could send them outside to play and with little fear of anything going wrong in the process. The world was a far safer place when I was a kid!

My friend Jerry Flynn (heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now the Deputy Mayor of Carleton Place) is â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a little bit olderâ&#x20AC;? than me. We grew up in the same era and we have similar memories, including how welcome spring was and is.

There was no river in Stittsville, where I grew up. But we did have Pooleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek (or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crickâ&#x20AC;? as they say in the valley) and also an area known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the trenchesâ&#x20AC;? something I will elaborate on as this column unfolds.

Jerry of course grew up in Carleton Place. And anyone who knows Carleton Place knows a

Clark, PCs keep up pressure on maple syrup grading standards Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark push the province to finally take its set internationally and adopted by the is pleased pressure by himself and first steps to align Ontario’s maple federal government. the Official Opposition has helped syrup grading standards with those However, Clark questions why Jeff Leal, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, has waited so long to act.

“This is an issue local maple syrup producers have raised with me this season and I’m concerned the minister has been dragging his feet rather than moving sooner to get Ontario in step with these grading standards,” said Clark.

“Local producers and the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association are a $32 million industry in this province – they certainly deserve better.”

Clark first raised the issue in the Legislative Assembly earlier this month after speaking with producers in Leeds-Grenville. The MPP has also tabled an Order Paper question on the issue.

On April 14, in response to a question from Clark’s colleague MPP John Yakabuski (Renfrew-NipissingPembroke), Leal said his ministry is finally beginning consultations with the hopes of having new standards in place for Jan. 1, 2016.

“It’s disappointing the ministry wasn’t organized enough to have the amendments to regulation 119/11 in place for this season as the federal government did,” said Clark.

“Time and again, we hear this government talk about the importance of the agri-food industry in Ontario. But when it comes time to do something to support this sector, we discover all that talk is just empty rhetoric.”

Meanwhile, Clark looked forward to attending the April 18-19 Delta Maple Syrup Festival, where he encouraged local producers to make sure their voices are heard.

“Leeds-Grenville produces some of the finest maple syrup in Ontario and Canada and I’m hoping everyone will come out to the festival and show their support,” said Clark.

Submitted by the office of LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark.

MOTORCOACH HOLIDAYS

Calypso One of our longer in-house residents who, we hope is going to be chosen next. Calypso arrived in the summer of last year with his long hair so matted he needed a full shave. He was a cute boy for a while with his naked body and some long hair left Alvin This young orange and white cat was surrendered by his owner. It’s often heart breaking when people have to make these difficult decisions for unforeseen reasons. The right thing to do is always to check with LAWS whether we have space and are able to re-home the pet. We happily took Alvin in as he is the most adorable cat.

He loves to voice his opinion and rubbing his belly will result in a loud purring sound, almost like a racehorse. Alvin is ready to meet his new family and awaits your visit at around his face. Meanwhile his fur LAWS. Thank you for your continued suphas grown back. It’s shiny, slick and port. Follow us if you like on Facebeautiful.

It’s time for this handsome young book at www.facebook.com/lanarkman to find his forever home. He’s animals or if you have any questions about 5.5-years-old and gets along or concerns, please contact the shelwith some other cats too. He’s a bit ter at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or picky though and therefore maybe a by calling 613-283-9308.

OPP, province remind people to be safe as bears come out of hibernation The Province of Ontario and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are reminding people to take simple precautions this spring to prevent attracting black bears as they come out of hibernation.

The potential for human-bear conflict increases when there is little natural food available for bears. If this happens, black bears will search for other food sources, such as garbage and bird feed, which can draw bears to populated areas.

“I urge Ontarians to take simple precautions and reduce their interactions with bears,” stated OPP Commissioner Vince Hawkes. “If a bear becomes an immediate threat to public safety, OPP officers will respond in our jurisdiction to protect citizens with the assistance of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.”

Follow these simple instructions to minimize the chances of attracting bears: • Store garbage in waste containers with tight-fitting lids.

• Put out garbage only on the morning of pick-up.

• Put away bird feeders. Seed, suet and nectar also attract bears.

• Pick fruits and berries as they ripen – don’t let them rot on the ground.

• Clean outdoor barbecue grills after each use, including the grease trap underneath. Bears will be drawn by smells from great distances, including grease and food residue on grills.

• Keep dogs on a leash; sometimes bears will follow off-leash dogs back to you.

Bears entering a populated area are only a danger if they pose an immediate threat to your personal safety or that of the general public.

“By taking some simple steps everyone can help avoid human-bear conflicts. These steps will help to make your home, neighbourhood, business or schoolyard less attractive to bears,” said Bill Mauro, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry.

Quick facts • Since 2004, Ontario’s Bear Wise program has been educating people about bears, how to avoid attracting bears and how to prevent human-bear conflicts.

• The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forest and the OPP have agreed on the roles and responsibilities for both organizations to help the public understand which organization to contact when they encounter a bear.

• If a bear is posing an immediate threat to public safety be exhibiting threating or aggressive behaviour, call 911 or your local police. At the request of police, during daylight hours, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry will respond to emergency situations to assist.

• For non-emergencies, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry operates the toll-free 24/7 Bear Reporting Line (1-866-514-2327) and the Bear Wise website (ontario.ca/bearwise) to provide the public with information and advice.

Submitted by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

Text with 911 now an option in OPP service areas The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is improving its capacity for emergency response and enhancing the safety for an important segment of the communities it serves.

As of April 15, the OPP will be equipped to receive emergency calls for service via Text with 911 (T9-1-1) from people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired (DHHSI) and for which the OPP is the Primary Public Safety Answering Point (P-PSAP).

T9-1-1 enables emergency communication with OPP 9-1-1 call takers via text message (or SMS).

“The OPP is committed to increasing accessibility for persons with disabilities, and has made extensive network upgrades to be able to offer Text with 9-1-1 service in the communities we serve,” stated OPP Commissioner Vince Hawkes.

In order to use T9-1-1, members of the DHHSI community must register their cell phones with their wireless carrier in advance.

Some older model phones may

not be compatible. Those who have more than one cell phone will need to register each phone individually. The T9-1-1 service is not intended for use by the general public.

“Preparing to offer Text with 9-1-1 was complex and involved months of collaboration with our service provider and the communities. The OPP appreciates the patience of many stakeholders while we implemented the necessary changes to provide this important and innovative service,” said Chief Superintendent Rick Barnum, Commander, OPP Communications and Technology Services Bureau.

An information card is available on the OPP website at this address (www.opp.ca/ecms/index. php?id=620) and via several OPPserviced jurisdictions.

More information is also available through the Canadian Wireless Telecommunication Association at www. cwta.ca.

Sunny skies smiled upon Smiths Falls on Sunday, April 19 for the fourth annual Spring Fling Running Thing event, to benefit the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation. Hundreds of runners descended on the Cataraqui Trail to enjoy a half-marathon, 10K, 5K or 2K run. Over the past four years, $25,000 has been raised for the hospital foundation through the Spring Fling. The half-marathon was the first race of the day.

Above, runners kick off their 21-kilometre trek along the Cataraqui Trail.

4:19 PM It’s grandpa’s first time in this part of town.

He doesn’t have any idea how he got here, how to get home or who he is.

5:45 PM You don’t know where he is either.

New talent comes to Gallipeau Centre Theatre in May 16 fundraiser Adept on drums, keyboards, guitar and bass, he distills the blues, soul and rhythm and blues into a sound that is both solidly traditional and infused with new energy. In 2012 Jordan opened for Aretha Franklin at the Toronto Jazz Festival a rare privilege, as the ‘Queen of Soul’ rarely allows anyone to open for her.

“Unfortunately I didn’t get to meet her, but she dedicated a song to me during the concert, referring to me as ‘that tall drink of temptation,’” chuckles Jordan.

He is, according to his peers and industry experts, also an incredible vocalist.

“He’s a terrific singer and can do ballads by Aretha Franklin or Stevie Wonder – he can do songs that a lot of bands can’t take on. As David Foster said ‘Jordan is one of the best voices he’s heard in 20 years,’” recounts Prakash.

Submitted photo

Bringing a delightful mix of ‘60s classic rhythm and blues, Jordan John will be performing at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre on May 16 in concert, which will also raise funds for the Susan Shirley Program in Smiths Falls.

Customer Appreciation

Entire Store 4 Days Only

Thursday April 23rd - Sunday April 26th

The show promises to be both a trip down memory lane and a whole new experience and Jordan will be accompanied by a full band that includes Prakash on bass.

“I’m bringing a multi-facetted, energetic, dynamic cross generational and multi racial band and the material we’ll cover is both fresh but classic.

We’ll have a little offering of contemporary music through my own work but still in the Memphis to Motown groove,” says Jordan.

Other music he’ll feature includes hits by Sly Stone, James Brown, Little Richard, Smokey Robinson and Prince.

Jordan admits he has never played in this area, but he has entertained in Ottawa for Canada Day and the Tulip Festival, among other venues. So what does a young man in his late twenties do when he’s not making beautiful music?

“I’m an avid sports fan and I played high level soccer for years. I am especially a diehard Blue Jays fan,” he says.

So come on out and experience this fresh new talent not just to encourage Canadian music but to treat mom and support the Susan Shirley Program.

If you don’t already know it, the Susan Shirley Program is a residential Maternity Home and Parent Training Centre that supports young new mothers and mothers-to-be through their pregnancy and in those first critical few months after their baby is born. This grassroots charity provides essential housing and life skills training to young pregnant and early parenting women. The program empowers young women to create strong and healthy families and the Gallipeau Centre Theatre is proud to support them.

Coming on the heels of Mother’s Day the Gallipeau Centre is celebrating mothers with a delightful classic concert of 1960s rhythm and blues, featuring a fresh young talent and offering tickets at $20, with 10 per cent of proceeds going to support the Susan Shirley Program in Smiths Falls.

“It just seems like a great way to honour all the moms out there,” says Howaida SorourRoberts, theatre manager. “Jordan John is one of those rare and exciting musicians who is both a fantastic vocalist and accomplished multi-instrumentalist.”

Think Sly Stone, James Brown, Little Richard and you have a pretty good idea of what this young man with the astonishing voice, talent and looks will be bringing to the Gallipeau Centre stage on May 16.

“We’re very enthused about coming to Smiths Falls, we love to go places where people want to listen to excellent live music,” says Prakash John, bassist extraordinaire and band member who also happens to be Jordan’s father.

Jordan has already compiled a longer list of credits than many performers twice his age.

Hit musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone opens May 21 What do a debonair bridegroom, a harried producer, a Latin Lothario and a glamorous showgirl have in common? They are just four of the 13 outrageous characters in the musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone, premiering Thursday, May 21 at the Studio Theatre.

“Drowsy” is the improbable brainchild of Toronto writers and composers Don McKellar, Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, who created a spoof of old musicals for the stag party of their theatre friends Bob Martin and Janet van de Graaf. Then things really started happening for this great show: First, after Martin became a co-writer, it went to the Toronto Fringe Festival.

Then it was picked up and produced by Mirvish in Toronto, where it was seen by a New York producer, and eventually brought to Broadway.

The show was nominated for multiple Broadway and London theatre awards, winning five Tony Awards and seven Drama Desk Awards.

The Perth production of The Drowsy Chaperone is the much anticipated “annual” musical for 2015, following the incredible success of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (2013) and Little Women (2014).

Artistic director C.Lee Bates selects the shows based on several key criteria, the most important of which is what she believes Perth-area audiences will embrace.

“Perth is a sophisticated community in terms of music appreciation and enjoyment,” says Bates. “There is a huge well of musical talent here, and Perth audiences appreciate a huge range of musical genres. Thanks to the many theatre companies in our community, audiences have been

exposed to a rich tapestry of shows for many years.”

Bates has tried to reflect the eclectic taste of the audience by directing shows that are variously quirky, funny, moving and, above all, entertaining. The Drowsy Chaperone qualifies in all categories. The musical features 12 outlandish 1920s showbiz characters appearing in the imagination of one mousy, somewhat agoraphobic, middle-aged man who narrates the historic fictional show from the comfort of his chair in the present.

The “Man in the Chair” is the character with whom the audience connects. He exhibits a range of emotions as he narrates us through the recording – brought to life on the stage – of his all-time favourite musical. He shares background and gossip about the performers while he wrestles with the challenges of modern life. The Man in the Chair is an unforgettable “everyman” character who will elicit much empathy from all. He is being played, at alternating performances, by two seasoned and gifted actors, Vern Fraser and Paul LeDuc, who bring exceptional sensitivity and humour to the role.

In a recent message to the director, Paul sums up the feelings of both performers: “Thank you… I’m so damn happy about this opportunity, and it’s starting to have an amazing feel, thanks to your vision and the great people involved.”

Bates says it’s impossible to pick her favourite of the three musicals she has directed for Studio Theatre Productions.

“The one thing all three productions have in common is the creation of an extraordinarily cohesive creative team, both on the stage and behind the scenes,” she says. “Team-

work and collaboration are my dual mantras for a successful production. There are no ‘stars’ in any of our shows.

Everyone involved shines and understands that their contribution – whatever it may be – is critically important to the success of the production.”

The Drowsy Chaperone opens at the fully accessible Studio Theatre on May 21 and runs for eight performances: May 21, 22, 23, 28, 29 and 30 at 8 p.m. and May 24 and 31 at 2 p.m.

Country singer celebrates CD release at Rising Stars of Country Music concert sherry.haaima@metroland.com

riety of sources, including McNulty’s manager Rick Wharton and producer of Cold Beer N Barbwire Jeff Nystrom. He’s grateful for the support.

“I have those kind of people behind me and that’s incredible,” he said.

McNulty is pleased to announce that at the Festival Hall event, Nystrom will be joined for the first time onstage by his daughter Jordan Kasedy, who provided all the album’s backup vocals.

The Cold Beer N Barbwire CD, along with Shane McNulty merchandise, will be available for sale at the Rising Stars concert.

Next up for McNulty is a gig as a special guest for multiple Grammy-award-winning Marty Stuart’s show May 9 at Festival Hall.

Rising stars McNulty is one of three upand-coming musicians that will be featured at the April 25 Rising Stars of Country Music concert at Festival Hall in Pembroke.

After releasing a selection of her songs on the Internet, headliner Lindsay Broughton has gone on to be featured as a SOCAN artist of the month, appeared in various songwriting magazines, had eight songs featured in the hit CBC show

Heartland, won a 2013 Country Music Association of Ontario Rising Star Award, and has had her songs covered by multiple artists. She released two self-titled EPs in 2012, the latter of which rose to number one as the top selling Canadian Country album in Canada for a few weeks in 2013. Her debut

full-length album Take Me There, with the current single of the same name, written by Broughton has been released to radio.

Also taking the stage is Olivia Charette, a 20-year-old country singer/songwriter, born and raised in the Ottawa Valley. Charette has sparked

the attention of some of the most prominent producers in the country music industry and is currently writing and recording in Nashville.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. at Festival Hall and there will be a meet-and-greet with the artists after the show. Contact the box office at 613-735-2182.

Country singer Shane McNulty is ready to take things up a notch.

McNulty grew up in the Ottawa Valley, deep in the roots of its music and agricultural charm.

He has been hard at work preparing for and creating his first full-length album, Cold Beer N Barbwire, which is set to be released April 25, in conjunction with his performance at the Rising Stars of Country Music Concert at Pembroke’s Festival Hall.

Being on stage is an experience like no other for McNulty.

“It’s like you’re in another world. I used to call it the bubble,” he said. “You could have had the worst day but when you’re on stage and everything’s working, it’s like you’re on top of the world.”

Originally from Carleton Place, McNulty moved to the Renfrew area about 25 years ago and for years worked on the family farm. More recently, the father of two has spent time out west working as a pipe fitter.

Music is in his blood. Influenced at a young age by his father, the late Rod McNulty, who was an accomplished

pedal steel player, McNulty quickly developed a passion to follow in his dad’s footsteps .

He became a familiar face in the local country music scene, playing the acoustic guitar, drumming in his father’s band and fronting various country cover acts.

Local music fans will remember him as a member of the band 40 Creek and McNulty says he learned plenty and had a great time on the local music circuit.

“We had fun,” said McNulty. “But all good things come to an end and the guys went their separate ways.”

Having spent his life farming during daylight hours and playing bars up and down the Valley until the wee hours of the morning, McNulty still found time to write songs that express the trials and tribulations of his life.

Cold Beer N Barbwire sums all of that up, says McNulty.

The 12-song blend covers true-to-life experiences that touch all of us, he adds.

The new album is his second release. His first was a self- titled and self-promoted EP that received local and international airplay and made him a mainstay on the local station Y101 Country.

Taking the next step has meant getting help from a va-

BarnDoor Productions caps 20 seasons with ‘your best ever’ In 20 seasons of varied and exciting theatre, Perth’s BarnDoor Productions (BDP) has never had reactions such as they are getting to their 100th production.

The show is Arthur Miller’s iconic Death of a Salesman and it begins with a set that opens the flexible stage at Full Circle Theatre to its widest, providing the cast with a broad canvas to work on.

The backdrop is inspired by the original 1949 Broadway production, picturing a looming conglomeration of high-rise buildings that tower over and threaten the tiny enclave that the characters of the play inhabit. Lighting plays an important part, shifting from the play’s “reality” to its “dreams” and blending the two. Along with that, a simple flute plays themes in the background, commenting on the action.

Director Janice Jacklin then brings more than 35 years of directorial experience and training to the production. She moves her cast through the play with an intensity and energy that bring the two-act show in at about two hours and ten minutes, including an intermission. Each scene moves smoothly into the next, often overlapping and intermingling. The pace at which the play moves keeps the dramatic intensity high – the show is “compressed” and, as a result, its impact is sharper.

The next element is a strong ensemble cast, who have immersed themselves in the world of Willy Loman through the rehearsal period. Many comments on the excellence of casting choices speak to the depth of the BDP company, especially as some of the actors joined the cast later. Don MacKay has become a regular on BDP’s stage and provides a strong antagonist in his one scene as Howard, the unthinking son of Willy’s nowdead boss. More interested in his gadgets than in people, he pushes Willy right to edge and leaves him teetering.

Paul Roach, as the ghost of Willy’s older brother Ben, haunts the stage, moving in and out of shadow and leading Willy toward the inevitable conclusion. Patti Greer as The Woman is the everpresent memory of his guilt, loud, brash and the

antithesis of Willy’s wife. Aidan Williamson, in his first BarnDoor appearance, is strong as Bernard, the neighbourhood boy who is the opposite of Willy’s sons, but who achieves everything that they don’t.

The first of Willy’s sons is Happy, played by Connor Williamson. In a difficult part that is some years older than he actually is, Connor shows strength and a lot of promise. Happy has always been second to his older brother and, even as a grown man, remains so. Nothing he can do ever moves him up in his parents’ eyes.

The play really revolves around Willy’s relationship with his elder son. Brady Johnston as Biff makes a return to the Full Circle Theatre stage with a powerful performance that hits both the height and depths of the character. His final confrontation with Willy is moving and a little shocking and one that moves the play beyond its nominal “amateur” status into another level.

And that level reaches professional with the performances of Catherine Clark as Linda Loman and Joe Laxton as Willy. Both of these performers bring decades of experience and training to the roles, along with a deep understanding of the play. Together, they are a pleasure to watch – individually, they are powerful and evocative and moving. Willy’s slow realization of the emptiness of his life’s dream, culminating in a desperate scene where he tries to plant a garden in infertile ground with the words “Nothing’s planted. I don’t have a thing in the ground” bring the audience to the edge. Linda’s farewell to her husband (“We’re free. We’re free”) and the show’s final slow fade push them over the edge. One patrons said that the play was missing just one thing – a box of tissues for the audience.

Perhaps even more topical today than in 1949, Death of a Salesman remains must-see theatre and that’s the point.

The show concludes its run April 23, 24, 25 at 8 p.m. and April 26 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $2 reserved; $22 at the door. Students are $10. To reserve, simply call 613-267-1884. For informationto www.barndoorproductions.ca.

These beautiful daffodils at a private residence on Freeland Road has joined Rideau Lakes Township’s efforts to grow thousands of daffodils in the community over the last few years. Their hard work has paid off, as last week Mayor Ron Holman proclaimed the township the Daffodil Capital of Ontario.

Golf Canada’s newest Canadian Women’s Tour Ontario golf tournament event will be held in Smiths Falls this June 16 and17 before moving around eastern Ontario in successive years.

“We would take this particular tournament and we will move it around eastern Ontario but we will not forget Smiths Falls,” explains Dave Dargie of Team Henderson 110% Club.

Dargie explained the tournament, which will be held at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club, would return to town every three years or so providing the community with a long-term economic benefit they can count on.

This year’s tournament will welcome 72 professionals and 18 amateurs, including Brooke Henderson and Alena Sharp, two of the top ranked Canadian female golfers, and is free for spectators to enjoy. Parking for the public will be available at County Fair Mall on Brockville Street where a shuttle bus will be making regular pickups.

Dargie said they are working to get local high school students out to the links to cheer on Brooke Henderson, who will graduate from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute in June, on paper if

not in person.

“She will probably be playing in the U.S. Open when graduation takes place,” Dargie said.

He went on to say the addition of the two-day tournament is only two weeks old and was born out of the draw created by the Magenta Mortgage Charity Pro Am (Team Henderson Pro Am), which is also being held at the local golf club.

“They’re together because of two people; they’re together because of Brooke and Brittany Henderson,” Dargie said.

The Pro Am event, scheduled for June 15, is already sold out with 11 teams on a waiting list. The event will welcome 31 teams of four amateurs per team who will be paired up with 31 professional women golfers from the LPGA, Symetra and Canadian Women’s Tours.

A group of 12 individuals has been working behind the scenes since November to pull together the Team Henderson Pro Am, but many more individuals will be needed on tournament day.

Dargie said they are looking to recruit 120 volunteers of which 58 have already confirmed their attendance.

Township unveils new Daffodil Town hall safety concern on waiting list identity at May 11 ceremony Stacey Roy

There isn’t much that gets between Rideau and its lakes, that is, except a daffodil.

On May 11 at 2 p.m. the Rideau Lakes Township offices in Crosby will be populated with many people who have come to see the formal unveiling of Rideau Lakes Township as the Daffodil Capital of Ontario.

“It’s kind of fun. We figure over 10,000 bulbs in the last couple years have been planted by volunteers,” said Susan Dunfield, manager of commu-

There’s been no scheduled date to when the town will address an electromagnetic door locking system that has been unknowingly locking committee members in the town hall building since the police vacated the site.

Glenda Bak who sits on the Smiths Falls Downtown Business Association (DBA) board hasn’t experienced this herself, but confirmed “I know it happens. It’s crazy.”

The brief ceremony May 11 will be the community’s chance to celebrate what has been five years of dedicated effort in transforming country roads and signage into floral marvels. The event will include unveiling an updated Rideau Lakes Township flag, which will now have a daffodil between the words “Rideau”

confirmed the system is locked around 5 to 5:30 p.m. and can be unlocked by pushing a button at the fire department when asked to do so. There is a number posted on the inside of the exterior council chamber exit door, but there is no phone available to make the call, which Malcolm Morris, CAO and Mayor Shawn Pankow noted would be a flaw in the system.

“It would be a concern if you can’t reach fire dispatch,” Pankow said.

mittee of the whole in the next month that will set out the process of the service review.

The mayor and councillors John Maloney, Chris Cummings and Lorraine Allen all voted to support the budget. Allen, who brought forward third reading of the $1.6 million budget at the regular April 20 meeting of council, explained her decision to support the increase wasn’t easy, but “in good conscience I could not vote otherwise.”

The supportive side noted the need for infrastructure investment and the depletion of reserves that taking the $270,000 shortfall would leave the town in.

Pankow added he would like to see more funds diverted to capital needs for road maintenance, etc. in future budgets.

“It would leave us with no ability to deal with unexpected expenses,” Allen said.

Coun. Jay Brennan challenged this view, saying the frozen pipes situation that caused the shortfall is an unexpected expense and shouldn’t be added to the citizen’s tax burden.

“It’s up to us to take care of this and make it attractive to come to Smiths Falls and live,” Brennan said.

Coun. Joe Gallipeau brought forward discussion of the budget at a special committee meeting held prior to council this week, as there was some concern the budget would be defeated at third read-

ing. Gallipeau agreed with Brennan and Quinn and urged his peers around the horseshoe to challenge themselves to find the shortfall through the review process rather than adding to the burden of businesses and citizens who are already hurting.

“I think there are ways in the next 12 months that we could have made up that $270,000 and showed some fiscal responsibility to taxpayers,” Gallipeau said.

Brennan agreed, noting the community donations fund, which was originally set at $80,000 last year, has ballooned to about $130,000. Maloney objected to this focus, saying the $50,000 for the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario (RMEO) had been moved from the heritage budget to community donations later in the budget process and with that removed, the community donations sits at just shy of $80,000.

“I don’t know how it got switched. I think it’s important that we support things in our community,” Maloney said.

Cummings supported this budget on principle, believing that a vote against the budget is a vote against the collective process they all undertook to form it.

“I don’t support a tax increase, but I support the budget,” Cummings added. “Everybody here is trying to do the fiscally responsible thing it’s just a different perspective.”

Grant program connects generations, cements relationships in town sroy@perfprint.ca

Several months of Smiths Falls youth and local seniors working alongside one another and learning from each other’s experiences has narrowed the generation gap in some ways and brought about some new relationships for organizations involved.

Adopt a book at library The Smiths Falls Public Library is holding its 21st Annual Adopt-a-Book Event from April 28 to May 2 during regular library hours.

A wide selection of books for both adults and children will be on display in the library. In 2014, local residents donated $1,500 during Adopt-a-Book.

Since this event started 21 years ago, nearly $40,000 worth of materials has been donated to the library.

The donated books can be dedicated to a special person, to celebrate an event such as a birth or birthday, a special teacher or in memory of a loved one.

A bookplate will be placed inside each donated book. For more information please contact the library at 613283-2911.

Correction

In last week’s paper on the Turkey Run Flats Organic Co-op the number of pots planted was incorrectly stated. The co-op currently has over 500 planted for this season. The Record News apologizes for this error.

“Those friendships will last,” said Jennifer Miller, executive director at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, whose organization rolled out the Bridging the Generation Gap program at St. Francis de Sales School’s after school program.

This program was made possible by a $25,000 grant from New Horizons. It began casually in the summer with the building of a fairy garden and grew to a full offering of skills sharing between program participants from both St. Francis de Sales School and Duncan J Schoular School and the greater community by September.

“We don’t know what will come of it, but it’s been a wonderful thing,” said Father Rod McNeil of St. Francis Parish, who was involved in the program.

Ultimately, children were offered instruction in a variety of skills from knitting and crocheting to guitar and cooking. Joanne Harris of Rideau Community Health Services said at least 20 children at Duncan J Schoular School were touched by the program over the winter months thanks to the efforts of volunteers.

“It was 66 hours that they gave to our kids, which is pretty incredible,” Harris added. “The kids were all thrilled. There was great conversation going on.”

The same was seen at St. Francis de Sales where countless hours were spent engaging in activities after school.

Miller was so impressed with the level of enthusiasm from the community volunteers.

“They were so excited to be helping kids. Our children were huge beneficiaries of it,” Miller said.

The program was a real shared opportunity for all involved, as youth participants also had an opportunity to lend their talents by teaching their elder neighbours about the computer.

Jordan Dicaire-Lane, a Grade 8 student at St. Francis de Sales school was acknowledged for his volunteer efforts at the recent Bravo Breakfast. Among his many efforts was sharing his computer knowledge in the Bridging the Gap program. The biography, provided by his school explains the positive impact Dicaire-Lane had on the program.

“Jordan’s nurturing and patient manner allows those around him to feel less frustrated and valued,” it reads.

Encouraging the elder residents from the parish to have greater involvement in community, while linking this group and youth together, was the primary goal of the program. Some community participants were shown how to set up Facebook accounts, which will help to address isolation in the longer term.

“It seemed to be a crying need that they had,” Father McNeil said.

Other success stories from the program including an Ukulele group that was formed as a result of this program, and will continue to meet until May this year. On Sunday, April 12 program participants gathered at Hanley Hall to celebrate the end of the grant and the many relationships that were formed from it.

Everyone received a certificate of participation and enjoyed a luncheon.

Proposed airport development changes concern club The following information comes from the regular council session held Monday, April 20, 2015 in Smiths Falls.

Airport information Coun. Jay Brennan informed council that Ken Graham, chair of the Airport Commission has sent a letter to the federal government this week identifying their concerns over proposed increased regulations associated with airport development. The commission is concerned the new requirements, if approved, would hamper small airports like the town’s from growing. As well, the proposal came out Feb. 26 with a comment deadline of April 9, which the commission is also challenging. A response is not expected for some time.

Doef’s surprise visit SFDCI received a welcome surprise last Thursday, April 16 when Neil Doef stopped in to school for a visit with students and staff.

“It was a heart warming scene. Everyone is really grateful that he’s back,” Ford said.

Quinn formally thanked the business for choosing Smiths Falls for its first expansion out of Kemptville.

Accrual budget approved Council met its ministry requirements this week by approving the mandated PSAB accrual budget for Smiths Falls. The new budget system takes into account asset depreciation. This budget has no impact on the town’s system or taxes, but serves to remind councils of their need to replace assets.

Bennett, Falkner prepare for national science fair competition

An aspiring engineer at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) took Best of Fair recently at the 2015 Rideau–St. Lawrence Science Fair earning a trip to the CanadaWide Science Fair in Fredericton May 14 to 16.

Dayna Bennett won for her entry At a Snail’s Pace. The project, incorporating aspects of math, biology and physics, tested whether animals followed a specific foraging pattern known as “The Levy Flight Pattern.”

Bennett used three juvenile aquarium snails to test her hypothesis and discovered they did indeed follow the pattern when foraging in search of food. She used the snails because their slow movement is relatively easy to study. The snails were placed individually in a shallow container with a grid on the bottom and a small amount of water. Bennett filmed each snail, then played the video, stopping it at regular intervals to chart each snail’s position on the grid, and proving they followed the mathematical pattern.

Dayna Bennett of SFDCI won best in fair for her entry at the regional science fair event earning a trip to nationals.

The daughter of David and Diane Bennett of the Smiths Falls area said she was excited about the opportunity to head to the national fair, but added she has already gained a lot from competing locally.

“I feel pretty good about it,” said Bennett about her win. “I also learned a lot about how to use scientific language and how to communicate my ideas to judges and other people.”

Bennett also won the Euclid Award and the University of Ottawa Award for her project, which came with a $1,000 scholarship. While still in Grade 11, Bennett plans to go on to study engineering at either Carleton University or the University of Ottawa.

Other Upper Canada District School Board students to qualify for the national fair are: Carter Perkins, Thousand Islands Secondary School, Best Junior; Jane Curtis, Carleton Place High School, Best of Fair Second Place; and Anna Graham, Carleton Place High School, Best of Fair Third Place.

Another impressive entry from SFDCI came from Grade 12 student Matt Falkner, whose project Engaging High School Students with Technology won him the Computer Science Award, the Chevron Construction Services Award for documentation, and the Brockville Recorder and Times Media Award. He will also attend nationals.

The aspiring software engineer created an app, which can be used on iPhones, designed to help students become engaged in clubs and sports at the school.

“The idea is that high school students are not getting engaged with clubs and other extracurricular activities at our school,” said Falkner. “The goal was to develop an iPhone app that allows them to fill out a quiz, put their answers through the program, and the app will tell them which clubs they should join at the school.”

Falkner, who plans to study software engineering at the University of Guelph, hopes to develop the app

further into a social media site that students can use not only to find out about clubs and other activities, but to provide a one-stop shopping site offering access to a range of information such as their school email and busing information.

ment during the time she worked at the municipality, fearing the locks could trap people in the building should a fire break out.

“You need out and you need out now,” Hogue said in that circumstance.

According to the Fire Code, under the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997, does allow buildings to have electromagnetic locking devices.

At the same time, the Fire Code does speak to safety to life in section 2.7. One segment of the code (under door release hardware) reads: “Every exit door shall be designed and installed so that, when the latch is released, the door will open in the direction of exit travel.”

Even the exception to this rule adds the proviso: “if the existing door is approved and either does not endanger life safety or is modified to provide life safety.”

Yosh Imahori, Fire Protection Engineer with the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office couldn’t confirm this week if the town hall conforms to the Fire Code, but suggested: “The building really should be inspected.”

Morris said replacing the electromagnetic locking system is part of the multi-year municipal complex renovation plan, which was green lighted

by Council to start this year.

“We’re going to change that,” he said.

Exactly when the security system will be changed and at what cost is unknown.

“Certainly it will be on the radar for future years,” Morris said.

The locking system has been an issue since the police service left the complex for their new home in the industrial park last year. Prior to this, police dispatch, who worked 24/7, would operate the electromagnetic locking device from their position at the complex’s main entrance.

“When they left that’s when the problem became apparent,” Hogue said.

The town is beginning its multi-year municipal complex renovation this year with the lobby and customer service area, as well as work to the building’s windows. Morris confirmed $200,000 has been put into the 2015 budget for this work.

All work in the plan must be accepted through the Council approval process.

and “Lakes”.

In 2010 the Joint Beautification Sub-Committee launched The Daffodil Project – Making Rideau Lakes the Daffodil Capital of Ontario by 2015, following the successful planting by township residents over the previous few years. One of those residents was Diane and Keith Haskins of Freeland Road. Mrs. Haskins is an avid gardener and as a member of the Chantry Beautification Committee knew she wanted to improve the curbside on her country road. She chose the daffodil because it is a hearty plant, but also a vibrant- coloured one that would add a splash of yellow to the township canvas.

“We certainly have had great pleasure in doing it,” said Mrs. Haskins.

The Haskins began planting in 1999 with 300 bulbs and quietly continued on every Thanksgiving weekend for the next 15 years. Mrs. Haskins explains the effort to plant bulbs has become a family tradition.

“We recruited the children and grandchildren.

This is hard going,” she said.

The area by the road has likely never been manicured and so its soil is very compact and hard to dig up. Nevertheless, the Haskins and others like them have worked hard to plant bulbs in the fall hoping to see new bits of yellow in the early spring. “It’s an exciting time of year. You do get pleasure out of giving somebody else pleasure,” Haskins said.

happy recipient of this gift each spring. Haskins’ flowers have caused such a stir of interest in the neighbourhood she has had to post signs that read “please leave the daffodils for all to enjoy” as many have attempted to bring home a souvenir of sorts.

Visitors to Rideau Lakes are able to enjoy the yellow blooms at various locations throughout the township, including the Jones Falls hamlet sign, the Township office in Crosby, on the grounds of the Newboro church yard and in countless backyards. Dunfield thanked Ginny Okum staff at the township office, for marshalling the enormous volunteer effort over the years.

“Thanks to her and other people in the community… that kind of sped us in the direction that we thought this would be cool to do,” Dunfield said.

She estimates about 170 volunteers contributed the equivalent of 70,000 volunteer hours transforming the township into the Daffodil Capital of Ontario.

“It’s been really lovely to see the enthusiasm and involvement of the volunteers,” Dunfield said.

Haskins hopes the multi-year project will continue to grow even larger in the years to come with more bulbs and more projects to support the visitors who have come to enjoy the daffodils. She wonders if a future project might be creating a tourism map that will lead visitors down the various ‘daffodil’ lanes in the township.

Rideau Lakes isn’t the only community to embrace the beauty of the daffodil. According to Niagara Falls Tourism, that city is known as the Daffodil Capital of North America.

Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support will help museum get back on the rails toward sustainability Stacey Roy

tive,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overnight caboose pilot program was a success with 12 stays from families, six of which came from out of province. The museum is going to undertake a business case for this attraction to ensure it covers costs while providing a regional tourism opportunity along the Rideau corridor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying our best to be a partner in that,â&#x20AC;? Shropshire said.

The aim is to provide an experience for all levels of visitors be they children looking to climb on the trains, parents looking for historical context or educated train buffs who are seeking out tangible history. That is where the interpretive signage comes in. The museum hopes to add more detail to their signage on site.

sroy@perfprint.ca

Thirty years ago a group of local citizens banded together to save the train station that has become the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario, and this year town council has symbolically done the same thing by approving an unprecedented $50,000 contribution to the museum this year.

Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support will allow staff and volunteers to lay the groundwork for future self-sustainability, which they project to be attainable in five years time.

The decision to support the museum beyond tax forgiveness was critical for the tourism attraction to open their doors for this anniversary year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a significant investment in this museum and for this museum. It will allow us to move forward,â&#x20AC;? added Anne Shropshire, museum curator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to finally be recognized.â&#x20AC;?

These funds come with some expectations, including a requirement to raise at least $25,000 during their season that runs from May 16 to Thanksgiving weekend this year. The museum has launched a fundraising campaign through www.

Canadahelps.org to raise $35,000 that will go entirely to special projects needed for self-sustainability. A link to this campaign can be found on the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website (www.rmeo.org) by clicking on their 30th anniversary banner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal this year is to end in the black at the end of December. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to raise the $35,000,â&#x20AC;?

Shropshire said.

The board is well on their way to achieving this with $22,700 already raised to date. These funds have come from a private donation of $16,000 and the success of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Orient Express gala dinner that raised $6,700.

Work to move the museum forward will begin in earnest next month when staff will send out a Request for Quote to have a site plan completed for the 10acre museum property. The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision is to provide a park-like setting at the museum where visitors can have a variety of experiences that pay homage

Anniversary year The museum will open for its 30th season on May 16. This soft opening will begin the start of seven-day operation. The formal anniversary celebration is scheduled for Sunday, June 7 when the town marks the annual Doors Open File photo

Graeme Roy, a retired teacher and volunteer interpreter at the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario is shown inside the operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bay at the museum last fall during the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Halloween event. The museum hopes to add more interpreters to the museum in the next year.

visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience with a fully operational operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bay. The plan calls for the bay to be restored to its authentic design and completely wired up to connect with either Nolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Station building at the entrance or a caboose so visitors can send messages to each other. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s addition of an interpretive operator (Graeme Roy) has been very successful and something the museum looks to build on. Shropshire said she hopes to have a full interpretive program with a variety of volunteers who would assume the role of the operator or engineer in costume. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Graeme is a perfect example of what Experience enhancements This year will be a busy one for the the program would be. They bring you museum staff who plans to add to the around the museum from their perspecto the railway and its workers. A glimpse into this transformation will be seen by seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end this year when the land is cleared. Guy Saumure & Sons Construction helped to level the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land about a year and a half ago. At the same time, the museum hopes to have a building needs assessment completed this year, which will provide them with a clear understanding of maintenance requirements now and into the future at the over 100 year old facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes back to building those foundations,â&#x20AC;? Shropshire said.

event. Admission to the museum will be free this day with a birthday cake, train rides and formal celebration of the end of the Trillium grant and successful completion of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history project. Shropshire is proud to be part of the anniversary celebrations, saying it speaks to the countless volunteer hours spent over the years to keep the museum going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still standing is amazing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a testament to the love of the railway,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Tough financial times will mean the scaling back of museum staff for this year. Leah La Sorda, exhibit and outreach technician will be leaving the museum next week as funds arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available to maintain her position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have to make some tough decisions. Our priority has to be fundraising,â&#x20AC;? Shropshire said.

She said she hopes to restore a parttime position next year if funding allows. This summer, three summer students obtained through grants will help Shropshire operate the museum through the busy season.

Letter to the Editor

Educator earns kudos from student

DEAR EDITOR:

When I think about my years in school, I remember my staff more than I do the classes I took or the books I read.

In particular, there are a few staff members whose lessons I still carry with me today.

Staff like Ms. Fielding who taught me to appreciate and evaluate everything I am taught and showed me how a good

teacher can make a difference. I like to think that everyone has had at least one mentor like Ms. Fielding. Someone who influenced not only our academic progress but whose impact extends far beyond the classroom. Someone who inspired us to think differently about the world and who set us on the path to where we are today.

I’m not certain I would have had the

same opportunities and career goals that I have now had it not been for a wonderful person like her. I would like to take the time to thank and show appreciation to a staff member that works extremely hard with all students at TR Leger School in Smiths Falls, thank you Melanie Fielding.

Sara Renaud Smiths Falls

’ve been locked out many times, but never locked in until after one council meeting at the municipal complex recently.

It was a relatively quick meeting and I was already thinking about what I would write and what needed to get done before I ended my shift that night. I’ve walked down that staircase so many times I just took it for granted that I would push on the heavy exterior door between Beckwith Street and the small council chamber hall and it would open, but my access was denied. Mmmm, what to do?

I looked around to find another door locked by a key pad and a sign on the door that asks me to call the fire department at a number given so they can release the door. It’s a fairly simple push of a button on their end to unlatch the door, except for one small detail - I am stubborn and don’t have a cell phone for work.

I could feel myself panicking a little bit and the heat rising to my face as I considered my options. Do I run back up to council chambers and try to get out another door? Is there a phone available there? I’m not claustrophobic, but I don’t like having no control over my circumstances.

Thankfully, a lone town staff member came downstairs with her cell phone in hand and released me from my hallway prison. I hope my meager attempt at acting nonchalant paid off and the staff member didn’t think I was as worried as I was.

Once the call went in to fire dispatch it was just a moment or two before the door was unlocked and I was sent on my

For the Record

way. I felt nothing but relief for those few moments, but the walk back to the car in the evening air cooled me down and got me thinking.

What if the staff member had also left by another door that night? What if I was an individual who needed medication (say diabetic) and was locked at the door with no means of leaving or calling for help? Or worse, what if there was a fire in the building. Would the fire department staff on duty be able to clear the building in time to find me before a fire did?

I’m not saying our heritage town hall is so fragile it will go up any moment, but you can see the liability there if something (God forbid) ever happened. The very idea of being trapped in a building that was on fire is my worst nightmare come to life.

Town staff has assured me the system will be changed out during the course of the complex renovation plans, but there is no date set for this work.

I think such a safety issue deserves to be put at the top of the list, and certainly ahead of beautification elements such as a lobby renovation, which is in the budget to be completed this year.

I know the renovations will be lovely and will add to the first impressions of the town corporation when coming in for a meeting, but I would think being stuck in the building at the end of that meeting would tear that impression to rubble. Hey, at least I didn’t say ashes.

The mystery that surrounds this Second World War soldier William Sweetman Miller, Lieutenant

William Sweetman Miller was a 31-year-old soldier who gave the ultimate sacrifice while fighting overseas during the Second World War. He was born on May 28th, 1912 in Toronto, Ontario to his mother Clara Miller and his father John Miller. William married Catherine Jane Miller while overseas in Hillingdon, Middlesex, England.

He was enrolled in Danforth Technical School located in Toronto, Ontario, which he left after attending one year. Prior to enlistment, William Miller was employed as a Dairyman.

On September 4th, 1939, William Miller was taken on strength to the 48th Highlanders of Canada, which is a Primary Reserve Infantry Regiment located in Toronto, Ontario.

His rank was Private but on September 4th, 1939, he was promoted to Acting Lance Sergeant the same day. Twenty-one days later his rank was Lance Sergeant, but he was the Acting Sergeant.

On September 26th, 1939, his rank became Sergeant, however he was promoted Acting Warrant Officer Class Three. The reason he was promoted so quickly may have been a result of the Invasion of Poland, marking the start of the Second World War on September 1st, 1939 and the need for the infantry to have men that demonstrated leadership amongst the ranks.

William Sweetman Miller during the Second World War.

He embarked from Halifax on December 18th, 1939 and disembarked in Gourock, United Kingdom on December 31st, 1939. William Miller was granted four days leave from January 10th to 14th, 1940. He was admitted to the medical reception station on April 22nd, 1940. William Miller was discharged from the Hospital four days later.

He was promoted to Platoon Sergeant Major (PSM) on March 25th, 1940.

A Platoon Sergeant Major was an appointed rank by the British and Canadian armies. It was meant to be filled by a soldier with the rank of a Warrant Officer Class III. In May of 1940, France had fallen to the German army. The German front was particularly looking at the west coastline of France, searching for places to build marine U-boat bases. William Miller left from Plymouth, United Kingdom on June 13th, 1940 and arrived in Brest, France on June 14th. One possible reason for his posting in Brest, which was occupied by the German army at the time, was to collect intelligence on the German U-boat bases. He embarked from Saint-Malo, France on June 15th and disembarked in Southampton, England the next day. The platoon of the 48th Highlanders in which William was a part of left France before they saw any real action. It is important to note that the 48th Highlanders were a part of the 1st Canadian Division.

William Miller attended the Canadian Train-

ing School (Operational Conversion and Training Unit) on June 8th, 1941. He was then promoted to Lieutenant after completing three months of that course.

The first Special Operations Unit of Canada was organized during World War Two, uniting Canadian and American Forces together to fight for the same cause. This Special Force was called the “Devil’s Brigade.” The Devil’s Brigade was able to invade countries that, at the time, were challenging to get into, such as France, Italy, and the Aleutian Islands.

An abnormal connection to his military file exists and will be confirmed through future research.

On July 20th, 1943, William died of wounds in a place classified as Not Applicable (N/A). This is unusual, because he was previously reported to “Special Forces” and it is known that he died in Sicily, Italy (as his body is buried there). Through date cross-referencing, the Invasion of Sicily took place eight to eleven days prior to William Miller’s death. It is possible that William Miller was recruited as a Devil’s Brigade Lieutenant and died during or shortly after the Invasion of Sicily. This is not confirmed, although it is a viable theory.

The 1st Canadian Division was present during the Invasion of Sicily.

After William Sweetman Miller’s death, his medals were dispatched to his widow, Catherine Jane Miller. She was given William’s 1939 to 45 Star (awarded after soldier has given after six months

Did you know? We offer:

MOVIE: Paul Blart mall Cop 2 STARRING: Kevin James, Raini Rodriguez, Eduardo Verastegui, Daniella Alonso, and Neal McDonough DIRECTOR: Andy Fickman RATING: PG I’m fairly certain I don’t need to tell people to avoid Paul Blart Mall Cop 2, but I’ll sleep better at night if I do.

Okay maybe it isn’t that bad, but unless you’re in some kind of Kevin James fan club, or a cult there’s no reason whatsoever to see this film in the theatre.

It’s been six years since the events of Black Monday, and things haven’t exactly gone to plan for Paul Blart (Kevin James).

His wife divorced him after only six days.

Then his mother is killed when she gets hit by a milk truck. Paul has only two things left in his life, his daughter Maya (Raini Rodriguez) and his job.

Then out of nowhere he gets an invitation to come to Las Vegas for the national convention for mall security officers.

Paul and Maya head to Vegas for some much needed rest and relaxation. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of either to be found. Maya stumbles into the middle of a group of criminals stealing all of the hotel’s priceless art.

With Maya in danger, and the hotel being robbed Paul springs into action.

All right, ‘springs’ isn’t exactly the right word. It is more like stumbles and bumbles into action, but you get the idea.

Mall Cop 2 isn’t the worst film ever, it just isn’t worth your hard earned money.

It’s an inoffensive slapstick comedy that’s more amusing than laugh-outloud funny.

Too much time is spent

My Take Mark haskins

on character development, and not enough time doing the whole action comedy thing.

James is at his best and funniest when he’s doing his tribute to John McClane, but by the time the good stuff starts you’re already bored.

Aside from one hilarious fight scene with Blart’s mall cop buddies (which there was not nearly enough of) and a few other funny scenes here and there, the film is a bit of a bust.

Kevin James is a pretty likeable actor and comedian, and by extension so is Blart.

James has created this silly, ridiculous, cartoon character of a person, and found a way to make him someone we genuinely like.

That’s one of the few strengths of the film, but I got all that in the first film.

I wanted more of that Blart style action.

The rest of the cast is just as likeable. Raini Rodriguez is a delight as Blart’s daughter. Nicholas Turturro, Loni Love, Gary Valentine, and Shelly Desai are woefully underused as Paul’s fellow mall cops.

Neal McDonough plays a pretty good stock villain, and does a decent crazy off with James.

If you are the president of the Kevin James fan club or part of some Blart cult, and have to see Paul Blart Mall Cop 2, save your money.

It will be on Netflix or on The Comedy Network, or even in the five dollar bin at Walmart fairly soon.

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan.

For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

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

You are full of inspiration and fun ideas this week, which only makes you more charming.

IN MEMORIAM

THANK YOU

No words could ever express our appreciation to Barker Funeral Home after the passing of Doris Judith Irvine (nee Pratt), the eulogy given by Pearl honouring Doris with such heartfelt words and chosen music was beautiful. To Doris’ son Ken for singing at the graveside. Special thanks to nieces, nephews and anyone who helped to provide the luncheon.

Sincerely The Pratt Family

CARD OF THANKS

The family of the late Mary Paige wishes to thank everyone for the much needed support and concern shown to us at the time of Mary’s passing. We will never forget the many kindnesses received: the delicious food, thoughtful messages and cards, beautiful flowers, and donations to Fairview Manor Auxiliary and St. Andrew’s. The musical leadership by Ian Guenette and St. Andrew’s choir, the lovely luncheon prepared by the church family, the guidance received from Rev. Barry Goodwin, the considerate direction from Gamble Funeral Home, and the compassionate care the entire family received from everyone at Fairview Manor over the past 2 ½ years were deeply appreciated. It is at time like this we realize just how much family, friends and neighbours mean to us.

MACAULAY Jim

Jim Macaulay, passed away, peacefully on Friday, April 3, just 2 months off his 92nd year.

Jim was unique.

Part teacher, part mad scientist, part artist, part progressive thinker, part old fashioned gentleman. A complete renaissance man. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1923. He enjoyed an eclectic career working as a structural engineering draughtsman, an assistant yacht designer on the 1958 America’s Cup challenger, a film cameraman, model maker, art director and graphic artist. He moved with his wife Eunice and his children to Montreal to take up a position at the National Film Board, and eventually, he began a new career and perhaps the most rewarding part of his varied working life, as a teacher of drawing and animation at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. During his years there, he played an instrumental part in the training of hundreds of young animators, many of whom he was proud to see fulfilling their career goals, at prestigious animation studios throughout the world including PIXAR, Industrial Light and Magic, Walt Disney and as teachers themselves carrying on in Jim’s footsteps.

He will be sorely missed by his former students, many of whom he considered life long friends, by the many dear friends he made in the film industry, through his wide outside interests, and during his retirement time in both Perth and St. Eugene, and by his nephews and niece in the UK and especially by his two daughters Lesley and Maggi, his Granddaughters, Zoë Sophia and Emilie and by his son in law, Christopher. His family would like to extend their thanks to the staff of the Heritage Lodge for the great care they gave Jim over the last year. He counted you as friends too, as do we. A private family gathering will be held at a later date.To express your condolences, make a donation or light a candle in memory please visit www.hillcrestfuneralhome. ca Funeral arrangements entrusted to Hillcrest Funeral Home 151 Bond Street, Vankleek Hill, ON K0B 1R0 613 678-2002.

Freeman Wilson 1943-2015

Wilson, Billy as he was called by his Nova Scotia family, neighbours and schools chums, was the first-born to Norma and Whitman Freeman. His siblings are Barbara, Bobby, Alan and Birdie. His Mom was a high school teacher, avid gardener and yoga instructor in her senior years.

He learned his farming practices from his Dad who milked Jersey cows, raised layers and taught him how to make the meadows in a dry year. When he was young, he loved to hunt and fish. His Mom would pack him a lunch and off he went to the bush. On a few occasions, he played hooky and headed off to the bush and came home at the regular school dismissal time. He and his teenage buddies built a hunt camp near a brook where it still sits today. If only those walls could talk! He attended the local schools, Pleasant River and Caledonia and then the Nova Scotia Agricultural College. He then attanded McDonald College and graduated with a Science Dregree from McGill University in 1966. Wilson became the father of eight children by choice and circumstance. He and Marilyn got married and chose Shane and Craig to be their sons. Later he married Shirley and added Kim and Connie to his family. In 1981, his family grew by 3 more, Darryl, Derrick and Chrystal, Gail’s children. Gail and Wilson created a special bond with Michael as foster parents. He was well respected at Statistics Canada, Census of Agriculture.

He met farmers across Canada and spent time understanding their farming practices. He retired in 2009 after 37 years and returned in 2011–12 part-time.

He was a go-to for Ag knowledge and only a phone call away for co-workers.

Wilson always said he really did not need to travel. His world was at his fingertips sitting under the maple tree in the front yard with his family and friends. Peace be with you!

Memorial Service Saturday May 2, 2015 at 2 p.m. at Mountain Township Agricultural Hall, 2967 Lough Road

Sunny skies smiled upon Smiths Falls on Sunday, April 19 for the fourth annual Spring Fling Running Thing event, to benefit the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation.

Hundreds of runners descended on the Cataraqui Trail to enjoy a half-marathon, 10K, 5K or 2K run. Over the past four years, $25,000 has been raised for the hospital foundation through the Spring Fling, allowing them to purchase vital patient care equipment. Clockwise, from top left: the Spring Flingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mascot, the Running Thing, strikes a pose as the seconds count down before the start of the 10K race; young Elenya Gardner has a look of determination on her face as the pushes towards the finish line in the 2K distance; Rob Gemmell and Hillary Gemmell shoot off of the 5K starting line; runners kick off their 21kilometre trek during the half-marathon event.

“Let the MOECC do their job.”

Chris Saumure, partner of Tweed Hershey Drive Inc.

the town’s desire to become a healthy community as it uses existing building stock, does not require infrastructure to be extended, contributes to the mixture of employment available locally, and looks at energy conservation and reducing waste.

“This proposal looks to provide a second life for the oil,” McKernan said.

Simply put the planner stated the town’s position clearly when she said: “If the MOECC does not grant approval then the holding can not be lifted and the zoning use does not take place.”

Denhez noted the town’s holding clause is a reasonable response, as municipalities aren’t expected to have the expertise to assess a plant proposal such as pyrolysis. Saumure said he feels the same way, noting there is also a public process and appeal process in place when the MOECC begins its review.

“Let the MOECC do their job,” Saumure said.

McKernan noted Summit Energy’s plans to grow changed during the month-long process from a staged approach to an initial phase and one large increase. At the time, Jake Jenkins of Summit Energy explained this was a business decision based on the cost of ministry approval per expansion. McKernan noted the town addressed this by requiring a Traffic Impact Assessment if the traffic volume was to go beyond Hershey’s peak of 50 to 60 trucks per day.

The issue of changes to what was proposed from the Nov. 17 public meeting and what was approved Dec. 15, 2015 was discussed briefly.

McKernan said she felt the changes were minor and maintained the intent of what was presented at the public meeting, while Greer felt they represented a significant difference, particularly in the addition of PVC and ABS plastics being melted down.

“We don’t know what we’re looking at here,” Greer added in reference to the public notice. “We didn’t understand.”

Denhez did question the wording on the public notice and whether or not someone would know what the public meeting is about from it.

McKernan answered a description of a pyrolysis plant was provided at the Nov. 17 meeting itself and not before as the town staff didn’t not have the information available to them at the time.

“Then people are to just keep their fingers crossed that somebody is going to get their dictionary out and figure out what that means,” Denhez asked.

McKernan’s answer was yes.

The OMB decision as to whether the town’s policies were upheld and if the pyrolysis plant is being located in an appropriate place is forthcoming.

Saumure noted the Tweed Hershey Drive Inc. firm has paid for all legal and other costs incurred by the town for the OMB appeal process.

Students and staff of SFDCI’s theatrical program invite the community to their newest original musical - Times A Changin’ featuring popular 1960s music from the Beatles, the Beach Boys and Simon and Garfunkel to name a few. The show runs for the next

two weeks, and tickets can be purchased at the high school or by calling 613-283-0288 ext. 2323. Proceeds go toward the school’s theatre program and the Josiah Grant Scholarship, which is handed out each year at graduation.

Upcoming musical to support local scholarship Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Times A Changin’ in the real world, and the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) musical performers want their audience to groove on into the future with them by attending an upcoming production and help them keep the Josiah Grant Scholarship alive.

The annual scholarship has been given out each year following the tragic death of Josiah Grant who died in 2011 from a track and field fall.

“He was a big part of our musical world and his death was very difficult for many students and staff,” wrote Kristine MacLaren, musical staff support in an email interview.

Times A Changin’ appears on stage at the Station Theatre May 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. May 9 for a matinee, and will feature a cast of 35 local students. Nancy Keech, vice principal at SFDCI, wrote the original musical with the aim of celebrating her students’ talents. Keech has been writing plays for 20 years in collaboration. This is the third play she has written for the school’s

theatre program, which has helped them put the proceeds in the scholarship and towards future productions.

“There are 35 kids in this cast and every one has a unique character and lines of their own,” Keech wrote in an email interview.

Students have been attending weekly practices since October, and have been working hard to get inside their characters and see the play through their eyes.

In fact, MacLaren has challenged her actors to bring in up to two items to add to their costume that helps to further develop the character.

“They are just now starting to connect with their characters and their struggles,” MacLaren said.

The play focuses on the theme of change and the need to accept it in our lives.

“We live in a world that is changing around us at an incredibly rapid pacewe can’t let it run over us, so we have to learn how to ride the wave,” Keech wrote.

The play takes us to Weatherton School for Girls, a private school full

of tradition and reputation, which has just accepted a new hippie headmistress who decides to open the school up to boys. The hijinks that students get into with their new peers will surely entertain audiences, but it is the musical soundtrack that will have them dancing in their chairs from start to finish. Music from 60s bands the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones and Simon and Garfunkel adds some pep to the somber topic at hand and makes the experience enjoyable for all.

“The songs are really iconic and the students do them so well. Audience members can expect a total package deal,” MacLean said.

Public performances are being held at the Station Theatre (53 Victoria St.) with ticket prices set at $15 for adults, $10 for students and seniors and $5 for children under 14. Individuals can pick up their tickets at the high school or by calling 613-283-0288 ext. 2323. A special presentation of the musical will be given to Grade 8 students. Don’t miss this great night of music and talent on stage!

Historical society highlights 1959 village fire Many of us have unfortunately witnessed the devastation a fire can have on a family, a business, or even a community.

One of the worst fires in the history of our area was the Lanark Village Fire of June 15, 1959. A single spark ignited a fire that destroyed 40 homes and businesses on the village’s main street in only 3 hours!

Local fire fighters from all over our region, including Smiths Falls did everything they could to stop the fire from spreading.

At the next meeting of the Smiths Falls

and District Historical Society, Thursday, April 23 7 p.m. at the Heritage House Museum, we will watch a film on this heart wrenching fire and then those present will be invited to recall individual memories of this and other fires. This will be an interactive experience that will bring back memories to all present.

We have a very active and vocal membership and this will give everyone a chance to share with others and to appreciate the work of our firemen over the years.

Admission is $5 per person with free entry for those who are members of the Historical Society or Heritage House Museum. Don’t miss this opportunity to revisit some of the many fires that have plagued our area over the years.

The revamped Historical Society has monthly meetings that focus on local achievements and events that draw on the experiences and memories of those who attend. Join us! For details or to RSVP, please call: 613-283-6311 or email heritagehouse@smithsfalls.ca

Food hub scales up production with Agape Gardens

One of the early users of the production facilities at the Two Rivers Food Hub in Smiths Falls has been Agape Gardens, a small-scale labour of love, located just outside of Perth.

Sebastien and Dasha Armand have been homesteading for two years on their seven-acre permaculture designed property.

They consider their work to be three fold: their gardens are an educational platform for research into permaculture and self-sufficiency; they do research into the uses of nutrient dense, hand crafted foods that are grown on their homestead, and they support their farm by creating and selling artisan products such as kale chips, flax crackers, broths and kombucha.

They sell their products through home delivery, and also at a number of locally owned stores such as Foodsmiths (Perth), Green Door Grocer (Ottawa), and Dandelion Foods (Almonte).

Their products have become increasingly popular and they have seen a rapid rise in dedicated buyers through the past two years.

This has meant that what was once a small scale sideline in their farming journey, has now become a main part of their business.

With three young children at home, it became obvious that the use of a different location that would allow them to expand without great capital costs would be of great benefit to them.

Sebastien was able to use the tilting skillet to make 100 litres of their very popular chicken bone broth which he then froze in the walk-in freezer available as part of the rental.

What took 12 hours in the commercial kitchen at Two Rivers, would have taken at least 60 to 80 hours using stainless steel pots on the stove top to make the same amount of product.

“The Two Rivers Food Hub is a gateway for up and coming food specialty businesses,” said Dasha.

“A jumpstart platform to take your ideas to the next level of artisan food production - sure helped us!”

Blind bowlers to host finals May 2

ljweir@metroland.com

The Rideau Wanders are gearing up for the year-end finals on May 2 when they host the Ontario Blind Bowlers Association 5-pin tournament at Gratton Bowling Lanes.

There will be six teams in the tournament: two from Ottawa, and one each from Kingston, Pembroke and as far away as Niagara Falls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in it for a couple years,â&#x20AC;? said Claire Rice, coach of the local team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been bowling (as a team) since 2008 and we welcome new bowlers.â&#x20AC;?

There is a stipulation though â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one must be declared visually impaired by their doctor.

Sanctioned under the Ontario Blind Bowlers Association, the group meets regularly. Every Wednesday morning, they bowl out of the Smiths Falls lanes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funâ&#x20AC;Ś gets me out of the house,â&#x20AC;? said Larry Steenburgh who has macular degeneration in both

He says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown used to his impairment, saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a disability but a â&#x20AC;&#x153;nuisanceâ&#x20AC;Ś thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best way to describe it. But you get used to it.â&#x20AC;?

Jenna Snowdon is another member of the team who has had not one, but two detached retinae. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have cerebral palsy,â&#x20AC;? she said. Born three months premature, Snowdon said she was extremely nearsighted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had my first detached retina in 2001 and the second in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;05,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it happens once it will happen often.â&#x20AC;?

Snowdon said she too, enjoys the challenge of the game and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a social aspect for her as well as the rest of the team.

Join the fun on Saturday, May 2 when they vie for the championship tournament hardware.

For more information on joining the league, contact Claire Rice at 613-283-9184.

The playbook couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have written a better outcome Sunday as the Carleton Place Jr. A Canadians captured the Central Canada Junior Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (CCHL) Bogart Cup at home in front of a boisterous and appreciative full house.

It was their second cup in as many years as the Canadians rolled over the visiting Pembroke Lumber Kings in Game 5 of the best-of-seven series, 8-3.

Coach Jason Clarke was all smiles during the on-ice celebrations and when asked how this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship feels compared to last, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels the sameâ&#x20AC;Ś winning is winning. But the best part about this is how we were disrespected by Pembroke in our home opener, and you know what? The hockey gods were shining on us, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sureâ&#x20AC;Ś thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt about that. That is what I am really proud about.â&#x20AC;?

Clarke added that Pembroke â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a very good hockey club.â&#x20AC;?

The Canadians were put to the test early in the contest as Pembroke came out desperate for the win and were able to keep the score knotted at one each after first frame.

In the second, a barrage of four goals in the first seven minutes gave the Canadians the punch and the momentum needed to carry through to the end.

Much of that firepower and

Sturtz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came out and did what we had to do. Our eyes focused on the next game, the next shift.

We came in today and knew Pembroke was going to give us their best game and we felt they gave it to us good in the first two periods and we just stuck to the game plan and figured out a way to win.â&#x20AC;?

On the MVP win, he had this to say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually funny. Me and Stephen Baylis have pushed each other for the past two years since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here and to swap trophies (Baylis won it last year)â&#x20AC;Ś heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pushed me. We have pushed each other all yearâ&#x20AC;Ś we make each other better players.â&#x20AC;?

Sturtz was quick to praise his

Caught in the emotion of it all after the game, Sturtz said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain the prowess behind this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just keep finding ways to win. It is just like last yearâ&#x20AC;Ś this team has a great future.â&#x20AC;?

Sturtz said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team is a hard-working one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work so hardâ&#x20AC;Ś we have done it all year. Right now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to live in the moment.

Muddy challenge coming to town Kayleen Preston

kayleen.j.preston@gmail.com

Laurie Weir/METROLAND

A Gauntlet Mud Obstacle Challenge will be at the Siloki Centre Sept. 19. This will be the first time having a challenge like this in the area, and organizers Lise Smith, John Maloney and Richard Preskett are excited to bring it to Smiths Falls.

“People travel all over the world for the obstacle runs, and it will be nice to have one in Smiths Falls.

It also brings about 500 to 600 people to the community,” said Maloney, The Rideau Winery owner and town councillor. “A lot of people are excited about it.”

The course will offer 16 obstacles with challenges for people of all skill levels. One of the courses will be a 12- to 16- foot wall. The full outline of the courses will be available later this year.

The Rideau Winery, the Siloki Centre, What If Graphics, the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation along with community sponsors will be hosting September’s event. The money raised from the event will go towards much needed medical equipment at the hospital.

Sponsors will be recognized at the event anywhere between one to five years depending on the amount donated. Bronze level sponsors ($500) will allow the sponsor to be recognized for one year.

Platinum level sponsors ($5,000) will be recognized for five years, be able to have an eight-person team participate, and have a choice of which obstacle you will sponsor. Choices for obstacles will be at a first come first serve basis. For full details

on sponsor information visit http://smithsfalls.com/ gauntlet/sponsor.

Individuals and teams (classified as three or more people) can also sign up to help raise money.

Registration starts at $40 for the 5K course, and $50 for the 10K course. The price goes up by $5 approximately every month for each race. For the best sign-up price, sign up early by going to the website http://smithsfalls.com/gauntlet.

When asked why the committee decided to do a mud obstacle course as a fund raiser, Preskett, owner of the Siloki Centre, said, “We chose this new and innovative approach for raising funds, as old and tried ways of raising money for the hospital aren’t producing the returns as they used to.”

“And we thought it would be cool and different,” Smith, executive director for the hospital foundation, added. “There are the two sides of it.

We want to bring awareness and the healthy part of it but we also want to bring people to the awareness of Smiths Falls” If the obstacle course is not your cup of tea, but you would still like to be a part of this event, Smith is in search of 30-60 volunteers for the event day.

If you are interested in volunteering call her at 613283-9743 or e-mail at Lise.sfchfoundation@bellnet.ca The group does not need help with setting up obstacles, but is looking to the community for material or money donations to help with construction.

For more information you can look for the group at the Healthy Living Festival in June, go to the Siloki Centre or Rideau Winery, or visit the website.

BOGART From page SF15

On keeping the momentum going as they head to Cornwall next week, Sturtz said they just have to remain focused.

“We’re just going to keep to Clarke’s game plan.

We’ve got pucks in deep, we grind it out, we know we’re in good shape. We’re deep… we’ve got four lines, six defense. We have guys that we can rely on down the line and not have to rely on any one player. It’s all 20 of us and that’s what we’re going to do down the line.”

That last line of defense is go-to netman, Guillaume Therien. He has been in nets for this entire series.

“We were up pretty early and we never looked back,” said Therien. “It was a pretty good game

for me. I got the right bounces and had the luck of the crossbar in the first period and it went from there.”

As a second-year goalie in this league, Therien said his confidence is stronger.

“We just show up at the right time and the right place,” he said.

“I try to have fun every game… if things happen, they happen (like a loss) and we pick up and go from there. The main thing is to have fun every game.”

The Fred Page Cup is slated for April 29 to May 3 as the battle of eastern Canada will be held in Cornwall.

“Everyone is healthy,” noted Clarke, “and we are getting ready for the Fred Page Cup.”

and those working through the hip and knee replacement process depending on interest.

Water exercise is great for individuals with a complex health history as it can remove up to 90 per cent of someone’s body load, while adding natural resistance with the water. It can also help with the recovery process or preparing for surgery. The water will be warm during these swims (84-85 degrees) to promote muscle relaxation and comfort. Merkley says she felt the one-on-one sessions would qualify for benefit coverage under rehabilitation as there are formal before and after assessments for each client.

On Saturdays the pool population will change to welcome the community’s youngest swimmers when a day of swimming lessons will be offered. Leach adds he felt lessons for preschool and up will be offered based on demand. All of these programs do not require a membership and are available in a package.

Memberships to the pool for general use are $45 a month or in a package and coupled with gym access. A waiting list is already on the go for the limited memberships available. If you wish to be included on the list, please call Good Vibrations at 613-205-1194.

Giant book sale returns to Smiths Falls this week Stacey Roy

Sroy@perfprint.ca

Youth Centres Canada (YCC) has returned to Smiths Falls with its giant book sale, but this time the town is the first stop on a regional circuit with provincial possibilities.

The first spring YYC giant book sale will feature over 20,000 books and take place inside County Fair Mall (beside Dollar Tree) April 23 to 26, 30, and May 1 to 3.

“We’ll accept donations for the first week,” explains Les Voakes of YCC. The sale is also accepting donations of DVD movies and music CDs. The concept for the giant book sale began last fall when the national organization hosted its first giant book sale at the County Fair Mall in October.

“It was a test to try to see what we could do with it. It was huge,” Voakes said.

The sale sold over 2,000 books and solidified itself as a strong fundraising vehicle both for YCC and its participating youth centres.

Voakes explains each youth centre that volunteers to set up, take down and work the sale will

get a third of the proceeds with the remainder going to YCC for its programs, operations and national conference. The sale benefits more than the bottom line for these not for profit organizations. Voakes points to its emphasis on encouraging literacy and providing volunteer hours as well as retail experience for youth.

The sale is designed as a fundraiser with a suggested donation of $2 for each book with the exception of some special items that may go as high as $10.

“They’ll be some pretty amazing bargains for people,” Voakes said.

One of the sale’s strengths is its organization – all books are put into genres for easy searching. Shoppers are encouraged to come often as stock will be continually replenished as items sell.

Province-wide Last fall’s event was held in Smiths Falls and Lincoln Fields, and further proved the business case that such a large book sale could be packed up and moved from community to community.

Voakes said she is excited about their plans to create regional travel routes that donated books will travel for sale. Books from multiple communities will be up for grabs at each sale thanks to this system.

“Everybody should always see new books,” he said.

The YCC is currently developing the eastern Ontario circuit as their phase one, but would like to expand in time to include southern Ontario and southwestern Ontario routes. Voakes explains once these routes are established they will overlap each other to allow for each circuit to swap out their book stock for another region’s. Plans to go across the province are looking great, as YCC has established a partnership with Total Move Management to transport their books and RIOCAN for sale space.

This weekend’s sale is the first spring sale the organization has held. The concept of the provincial giant book sale has been eight months in the making. For more information on Youth Centres Canada, please go to www. youthcentrescanada.com.

Visitors to expect detour around Chaffey’s Lock Celebrate the arrival of spring and learn about reforestation on Saturday, April 25. The general public is invited to the Spring Field Day and Annual General Meeting of the Ontario Woodlot Association (Limestone Chapter) at Chaffey’s Lock, Queen’s University Biological Station, near Elgin. The highlight is a tour of an intensive study of the field-to-forest regeneration process. On April 25, the program runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

At 10:30, Dr. Harmsen will conduct his tour, and participants are advised to wear ap-

propriate clothing for dense, thorny conditions!

Lunch will be provided at noon, followed by the AGM. The finale will be a Q and A session with a variety of forest professionals. This gives participants the opportunity to ask about forest management, sawmilling, wildlife habitat, etc. A tour of a nearby butternut tree stand is also an option.

The Biological Station is located on Opinicon Road, and it will be signed. This event is free for OWA members; for non-members, the cost is $15 each. For non-members who bring

their own lunch, the cost is $7 each. Pre-registration is required. Please contact 613-3739334 or owalimestone@gmail.com.

Chaffey’s Lock bridge will be closed for construction during this time. Therefore, access to the event will have to come from the west via Opinicon Road. From Perth, people should take Road 10 south through Westport and continue south until they reach Opinicon Road.

Head northeast on Opinicon for about 10 km and watch for a small cemetery and an OWA welcome sign.

Next month the strides of members at Good Vibrations will be moving from the treadmill to the pool when their new saltwater facility opens.

The concrete floor was poured last week bringing to an end all but the finishing touches needed before the pool opens May 1.

The Good Vibrations pool has been in the works for a year-and-a-half, and will feature open swims for members, as well as opportunities for non-members like aqua therapy, swimming lessons and birthday party rentals.

“Our growth has been really steady and strong,” says Mark Leach, who co-owns the pool with his wife, Danielle.

“The pool puts us in a whole other category.”

The pool will feature its own entrance along with change rooms, washrooms and open showers. An 800-square foot room will also be available as a lounge or birthday party space.

The new 18x33-foot pool features one level surface and adds a new dimension to the local gym’s fitness offering that features 51 pieces of

equipment.

“The importance of any business is diversifying. It is hard to please everyone, but we’re definitely trying,” Leach says.

The couple installed currents in the pool to provide resistance swim opportunities for its members. The device offers four speeds for various levels, and could be the only one of its kind available in the area.

“It just makes the pool way more functional,” Leach says.

The pool will serve a number of needs from recreational swims for members to fitness needs and has already been stirred up by Mark Leach himself who went for a dip earlier this month.

“It was cold,” Leach says.

It won’t be cold when opened for program use.

Programs During the day Leach has enlisted the help of professional physiotherapist, Lauralee Merkley, PT to offer group or one-on-one therapy classes in the water.

“We’re hoping to run some seniors exercise pool classes,” Merkley confirms.

The schedule is not firmed up yet, but she is looking at classes for arthritic, chronic pain

Crime Stoppers seeks local Nevada ticket location Tips coming into the Smiths Falls Crime Stoppers are anonymous, but the organization is hoping a local business will make themselves known as a willing location to sell Nevada tickets on their behalf.

Rick Kirkwood, president of the Smiths Falls Crime Stoppers identified the urgent need during his delegation to council April 20. The ticket sales were their biggest fundraiser in the year and helped them compensate anonymous callers who give a good tip.

“That keeps us going,” Kirkwood said.

Unfortunately their current location on Lombard Street is closing, leaving the committee of 11 individuals to send out the SOS throughout the business community. Kirkwood said business with high traffic volumes that would be willing to sell the tickets on their behalf are asked to contact Carl Evoy at 613283-2444 or any board member.

Coun. Dawn Quinn empathized with Kirkwood in his struggle to capture the necessary fundraising dollars to keep the organization going.

“I hear you… It’s very, very difficult.

It’s a lot of work,” she said.

Amidst these challenging economic times the committee is working hard to host the regional Crime Stoppers meeting in town this Saturday, April 25.

For almost 25 years Smiths Falls Crime Stoppers has been active in working with the Smiths Falls Police Service to collect important tips on criminal activity that has solved countless cases.

The 2014 annual Police Services Report notes Crime Stoppers has received just shy of 2000 tips since 1992 with some of those tips leading to the successful conclusion of 193 cases with a reward value of just over $36,000.

“We’re very proud of what we do for this town,” Kirkwood said.

Last year alone the program fielded 114 tips. Anyone with information on a crime is urged to call the anonymous line 1-800-222-TIPS where they will be given a number and asked for their tip information.

The individual is asked to keep this number at hand to check on their case. If the tip is deemed to be a good one then a tip will be confirmed and a pick up location will be set up. Any tips that aren’t picked up go back into Crime Stoppers account for future use.

Coun. Jay Brennan thanked the organization for all they do for the community.

“It’s organizations like yours that make our town what it is so thank you very much,” Brennan said.

Kirkwood publicly invited any organization, school or fundraiser to contact him at 613-283-3713 if they had need for the Crime Stoppers mobile PA system. Last year the van was used in 15 different events and is made available free of charge.

Coun. Lorraine Allen noted she made use of the van many times during her career in education.

“I wouldn’t have made it Crime Stoppers got its start working at a police service down through the events without it,” in the 1970’s in Albuquerque, there realized they needed help to Allen said.

Guests enjoy afternoon of jazz music at Perth Manor Kayleen Preston

Toes were tapping the afternoon of April 19, as the Perth Manor hosted “In a Jazzy Manor” featuring the music styles of Steve Barrett (drums), Don Paterson (trumpet/flugelhorn), Dave Arthur (bass), and Art Lawless (piano).

The dining hall was filled with beautiful songs including: My Little Suede Shoes by Charlie Parker, Dream a Little Dream by Fabian Andre, Wilbur Schuand and Gus Kahn. The group also played an audience request of On the Sunny Side of the Street by Frank Sinatra.

Arthur described the final choices for songs as the group meeting in the middle. They came together and discussed different songs, and from there they decided which songs were “playable” and enjoyable for the crowd.

During intermission, guests were able to have a glass of Argento white wine or Fatini Farnese red wine. Following the end of the show, they indulged their taste buds in selection of hors d’oeuvres served by owner Gordon Craig.

Smoked salmon as well as a sweet potato, ginger, maple soup in a shot glass dressed with a crisp sweet potato, and onion, cheese and bacon bites, known as Mary Vikers.

The manor was a new area for some guests including Arthur, who walked in the first time and saw the high ceilings and immediately wanted to see more of the building.

Ted Miller, who is friends with one of the musicians, was also experiencing his first time at the manor. “I’ve lived

in this area 14 years,” he said. “First time into the manor, it’s a lovely resident inn. I’m really impressed with it.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. We’re very lucky to have it here in Perth.”

Though it was a new experience for some, for others like Diane Burgess, it brought back memories.

The last time she was at the manor was 20 years ago for a family Thanksgiving.

What brought her back today was to hear her brother-in-law, Barrett, play with the other musicians.

“I sit in often when [Barrett’s group] plays at The Swan in Carp, so my sister told me about this at the Perth Manor, so I decided to come,” Burgess said.

“It’s a different set [here] then we hear at the pub when people are talking.

This is more focused just on the music, which is nice. It gives you a chance to appreciate it quite a bit.”

The afternoon was enjoyed by all as the audience and musicians swayed to the beat, and laughed as Arthur joked around about the band.

The group had decided to come to the Perth Manor after Barrett was a guest this past New Year’s. From there, Barrett worked with owners Linda and Gordon Craig, and the other musicians to get ready for today.

Barrett wanted to have the best musicians, and said he felt he achieved that, and the show was a great success.

The Perth Manor’s next event will be a classical music afternoon for Mother’s Day. For more information or to buy tickets call 613-264- 0500.

1949 Prefect is a perfect blend of old and new automobiles 17 trophies out of 19 shows.

Claude made most of the missing parts himself. The car has been rebuilt as a restorod with a 350 Chev V8 crate engine and 700R4 transmission.

The front wheels are 15-inch and rear wheels 17-inch to give the car a slight rake. The Mustang II front end provides independent front suspension.

The body has been channeled over the custom-built frame and the entire car has been repainted a dazzling Sea Moss Green.

The first time out, Claude’s car won Best of Show at the Canadian Street Rod Nationals held in nearby LaSalle, Ontario. At another show the same year, his car won People’s Choice.

At this rate of winning, we predict that Claude will soon have to build extra shelves in his garage to accommodate all the trophies. And this car is driven, not trailered.

Last summer, the car travelled 4,000 kilometres (2,500 miles) to car shows and cruise nights, including Sarnia and the ones held regularly at the Canadian Transportation Museum at nearby Heritage Village (519-776-6909).

Submitted photo On the wall is a blue-onwhite 1949 Ontario licence Claude Dube’s 1949 Prefect looks stock from the outside until you look at the wheels and plate (A6569). Claude wanted the exhaust outlets below the rear doors. to mount this on his car but was told that number is currently registered. He found another pair of 1949 plates (68K96) and mounted them on his car, made legal by YOM (Year of Manufacture) legislation.

I’m always looking for more stories.

The British-built 1949 Ford Prefect owned by Claude and Irene Dube of Harrow, Ontario, is an awesome award-winning street rod. Claude’s wife Irene found the car in Amherstburg in 2006. It needed a lot of work and this would be Claude’s first experience at building a street rod.

The transformation took seven years. He repaired the front fenders, hood, and inner fenders, made new running boards, added one inch to the rear fenders, frenched in the licence plate and a pair of 1932 Ford taillights, reskinned the trunk lid, and reworked the shape of the doors to fit the openings.

He fabricated a new floor and tunnel, tubbed the rear wheels, raised the trunk floor for the custom gas tank, built a new fabricated frame, and installed a custom Mustang II front end with coilovers and sway bar. Claude cut 21 inches off the 9-inch Ford rear end, installed Bear axles, a 4-link setup with panbar and coilovers, and a rear sway bar.

He also installed a custom interior, complete with coffee cup holder!

Now finished, it has won

Time is running out to nominate an Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) employee for the 2015 Trustee Innovation Award.

People have until April 30 to file nomination papers for the awards program, which will honour UCDSB employees whose innovation in the workplace can take us all to higher levels of achievement.

“The school year is just about over,” warned trustee Caroll Carkner. “During the school presentations at our board meetings we’ve heard about, or seen videos about, all sorts of innovative employees in our schools, so why not nominate them for the Trustee Innovation Award.”

Carkner stressed the board wants to recognize employees from a wide range of areas including: custodians who may have developed new work practices to save time, superintendents who have developed new programs to help engage our students, educational assistants who have found new ways to use technology to enhance student learning, and teachers experimenting with creative ways to engage students.

A lot hasn’t changed with the design and construction of most trailer hitches, much has changed with today’s vehicles however. Before you hook up there are a few things you should know.

point of the hitch’s receiver.

You’ll know if you’ve chosen wisely if the trailer and vehicle sit relatively level and the trailer’s tongue doesn’t have to ‘reach high’ or ‘sit low’ when hooked up and loaded. If you will be towing different trailers with different ride heights, you can purchase an adjustable ball mount adapter that lets you change the height of the ball.

Receiver type hitches come with 2 sizes of receiver; 1.25” by 1.25” or 2.0” by 2.0”. If you have a choice, go with the larger opening because most bike, ski, and cargo rack adapters that fit into a receiver hitch use that size. If you’re tired of listening to the clacks and clunks (caused by the tolerance between the hitch’s receiver and the ballmount adapter) that occur when towing a trailer, you can purchase a relatively inexpensive sleeve to fit inside the receiver to take up the slack and eliminate the noise.

When it comes to adding trailer wiring to your vehicle, check with your dealership or service provider first before cutting into the rear lamp wiring to attach the trailer plug. Most vehicles today use sensitive electronic controls for rear lights and splicing in a trailer connector can lead to a host of troubles. Most vehicles require some type of electronic adapter to avoid this and it’s included with a properly spec’d trailer wiring harness.

While installing a hitch doesn’t take a degree in engineering, it can be challenging, especially without a hoist. Many vehicles require complete or partial bumper cover removal to do the job along with temporarily lowering the rear part of the exhaust system. Most hitches come with attaching hardware but some require you to use some existing bolts in the vehicle’s rear frame rails. Unless your vehicle is brand new, you’ll need to spray some penetrating oil on these bolts before trying to carefully and slowly remove them. If you pull out any threads from the nuts that are welded inside a closed frame rail, you can’t bolt up the hitch. When choosing a hitch ball, make sure its shank or threaded portion fits the hold on the ball mount adapter exactly with no slop. If you install a ball with too small a shank it will move inside the hole and wear and come loose.

With spring comes another season; travel time.

For most it means planning warm weather road trips with family and friends, some camping and cottaging, some sightseeing, and hopefully a lot of great memories. For automotive retailers and repair shops it also means trailer hitch season and while a lot hasn’t changed with the design and construction of most trailer hitches, much has changed with today’s vehicles, therefore before you hook up there are a few things you should know.

Hitches are rated by the amount of weight they can tow and the amount of vertical weight on the ball they can withstand (known as tongue weight). Both are important figures and if a trailer is loaded correctly it should apply about 10 per cent of its gross weight (combined weight of trailer and gear) as a down-force on the hitch ball. It’s easy math; a 2,000 lb trailer should deliver about 200 lb of weight at its tongue. Having less or more than this can drastically affect vehicle and trailer handling. Class I hitches are rated for up to 2,000 lb, Class II; up to 3,500 lb, Class III; up to 5,000 lb, Class IV up to 12,000 lb. After that you’re into fifth wheel and gooseneck hitches mounted on a pick-up truck bed’s floor and pinned securely to the frame.

You might not necessarily hear or read much about various hitch classes anymore because their importance has been eclipsed by the most important rating of all; the vehicle’s towing capacity. Today, almost no compact or subcompact car is rated to tow anything by their manufacturers. This is a departure from the status quo of as little as 10 years ago when even small cars were rated to tow up to 2,000 lb.

The penchant for lighter vehicle components and smaller engines has pretty much taken the tow out of small cars. Even mid and full-size sedans have surprisingly low towing capacities. Before considering any type of trailer hitch, check your vehicle’s owner’s manual or manufacturer. Most U.S. based auto manufacturer websites are easier to use when it comes to finding towing capacities; use .com instead of .ca. If your vehicle is still under factory warranty and has no tow-rating, taking it in for a warranty repair with a trailer hitch attached is just asking for disappointment.

The most common type of hitch sold today is the receiver or hidden-hitch type. These units attach to the vehicle’s rear frame rails and have a square opening at the centre (just below the bumper) where a ball-mount adapter slides in and is attached with a removable pin.

Few of these hitches are sold with the ballmount adapter because there are just too many variables with regards to trailer tongue heights.

Some adapters come straight out, some have a rise, and some have a drop to accommodate different trailer designs. The best way to know which one you’ll need is to get the hitch installed first and then back up to the trailer on a level grade and raise the trailer’s tongue to a point that keeps it level. Then with someone duplicating the effect of the tongue’s weight on the vehicle (by sitting on the bumper) measure the required rise or drop from the centre

The intensity of the performance in Agatha Christie’s Love from a Stranger at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls is impressive. By the beginning of the third act audiences are on the edge of their seats and holding their breath in collective shock as the ending draws near. The cast of Love from a Stranger truly come together to put on a show that leaves audiences wanting to see it again and again.

Cecily Harrington (Katharine Coleman) is suddenly a wealthy young woman, and also engaged to be married to a man she has not seen in three years. We meet her as she begins to question her plans, and is asking her fiance Nigel (Jerry Logan) for a postponement of the wedding, much to the dismay of her indomitable and fussy Aunt Louise (Joni Thornley). Her plan to let the apartment she shares with Mavis (Nicki Hayes) takes an intriguing turn when she meets Bruce Lovell (Richard Croteau), who shows up saying he is looking to rent somewhere. But is he? He is suave, debonair and charming and in short order Cecily and Bruce are married and moved into a small out-of-the-way cottage in the country.

The mystery deepens as the gardener Hodgson (Tim Bisaillon) and even little Ethel the maid (Lise Pajot-Nelson) begin to bring information to Cecily that all is not as it seems in her idyllic marriage.

Soon Doctor Gribble, the local physician, is having to attend the Lovell house on a regular basis.

What or who is Bruce Lovell? What’s wrong with
