Service remembers workers killed on job By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
Community - In 1973, Ronald Craig, who lived and grew up in Smiths Falls, was 23 years old and had just landed a job with Canadian Pacific. It was his first day on the job with Bridges and Buildings and he was sent to Carleton Place as part of the crew fixing the rail bridge. As it happened Ontario Hydro was also doing repair work on the dam in Carleton Place, so the water levels were very low exposing the rocks below the rail bridge. “Ronald went to pull out a rail spike and lost his balance and fell off the bridge onto the rocks,” said Ken Lee his brother-in-law. He was killed instantly. On April 28, as part of the National Day of Mourning in Smiths Falls, a new plaque in memory of Ronald Craig will be unveiled at the Memorial Park Cenotaph at 7 p.m. Sadly, Lee says, he may not be able to attend the ceremony this year as he is scheduled for surgery at that time. There have over the years been 12 Smiths Falls
residents killed on the job according to Danny Whitmore of the Lanark District Labour Council. “The youngest was 18 years old and a summer student working for the Ministry of Natural Resources,” said Whitmore. The annual event is held every April as a continuing reminder of the Labour Council’s work to ensure that workers return home healthy and whole every day. The Monday evening event will include Erin Harrison, of the Canadian Labour Congress as the guest speaker and will be attended by Mayor Dennis Staples. The colour party from the Royal Canadian Legion Smiths Falls Branch 95, will take part in the ceremony and Paul Smith will play the Last Post at the gathering. “We usually see about 60 to 100 people in Smiths Falls, and we do have some chairs set up and a bit of cover in case it rains,” said Whitmore. Every name on the Smiths Falls plaque will be mentioned and family members will have the opportunity to place a flower or wreath in memory of their lost one at the cenotaph.
News - It’s a highly contentious issue right now with many residents for and against the idea of demolishing the house at 140 Elmsley St., N. In fact a petition to save the house has been started by Brian Paquette, mayoral candidate and owner of Zendragon Martial Arts and Fitness. “I’m not trying to undermine anybody, I just think there’s an option here for a win-win scenario,” said Paquette, adding that demolishing the house will cost taxpayers while selling it could recoup costs. The town purchased the property some years ago with the intent to clean up the corner, paying a fair price for the privilege. “140 Elmsley Street North was purchased in 2009 for $130,000,” confirmed Lynda McKimm, manager, planning and sustainable growth with the town. The argument to demolish it revolves around its current condition, and the proposed Rink of Dreams. “I have always felt that, with construction of the new arena and the demolition of the old one, the house was an eyesore, and I have grave doubts as well that the $87,000 quoted for refurbishment would cover the costs. Now that the Senators Foundation and the Gerry Lowe Foundation are making a significant investment in the Rink of Dreams, it makes even more sense to remove the house. This will free up space for future development of this exciting project,” said Coun. Jay Brennan. He added that the house was originally purchased with demolition in mind and demolition was staff’s recommendation as recently as April 14, 2014, at the regular committee-of-the-whole meeting. The issue of whether to tear down the building or keep it has divided council now for about three years according to Coun. Shawn Pankow. In 2013, the final decision on the fate of the property was deferred and this year, there isn’t enough money in the budget to save or demolish it. Discussion at council on April 14 saw four councillors intent on demolition versus three arguing for repurposing the property. “I have a hard time understanding why the demolition is such a priority now. It has been vacant since the town bought it, we have no money in the budget for the demolition and landscaping of the site and should exhaust all possibilities before rushing to spend money we don’t have right now,” said Pankow. As far as the Rink of Dreams there is no pressure one way or another. They don’t have any use for the building itself but keeping it there will not affect the completion of the rink. “Either way we’re flexible, but if the property is torn down, we’ll do everything in our power to incorporate the landscaping and the corner into our plan for the Rink of Dreams with the town’s permission,” said Rob Garvin, real estate agent and member of the Gerry Lowe Memorial Foundation. According to Joe Gallipeau, board member of the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce and part of the strategic planning committee, he’d like to see the chamber move to that space. “The chamber of commerce would have an agreement with the Town of Smiths Falls to utilize the building as a Chamber of Commerce ‘Welcome Centre’for the Town of Smiths Falls, as it is an ideal location, centrally located at the main artery of Smiths Falls,” Gallipeau said. “The $35,000 tear-down cost could then be donated to the chamber for renovations and the balance could come from in-kind-donations and funding from agencies such as Valley Heartland, or other funding opportunities.”

Community – Here comes Carleton Place’s inaugural bridal show. Whether it’s contracting a photographer, selecting a musician or booking a caterer, the Just Say Yes!

More than 30 local vendors and businesses will provide a diverse selection of products and services to choose from. “It was very important for us to go with local vendors,� Shannon said, “and they represent every industry.� Participating vendors include At The Altar Wedding Photography (Michael Gauthier), Main Event Entertainment, The Floral Boutique, I Do Cakes (Lorrie Gauthier), Rental Village Carleton Place, Cody Party Carleton Place and Ballygiblin’s Restaurant & Pub, just
Learn how to build a heritage fence at Algonquin College Community – Scott Dobson has an accomplished skill and his work can be spotted for miles across the county’s farmland – he builds heritage rail fences. While it’s widely popular across the region, heritage fencing requires a knowledge that has dwindled over the years. You now have the opportunity to use Dobson’s expertise and gain your own heritage fence-building knowledge as Dobson will teach a workshop at the Algonquin College Perth Campus on June 7. The one-day session will give you the fundamental knowledge and skills to build an unusual type of rail fence known as a sheep fence or Indian fence - one of Dobson’s signature fences. Dobson will be accompanied by Eugene Fitch – a local old-timer with
stories to tell, and a book about fences under his belt. This is a hands-on workshop. Participants will take part in an in-class workshop before constructing a five-rail fence on the campus site. Experience is not necessary, but you’ll need to bring gloves, lunch, a camera, and a fencing tool (if you have one, but it is not necessary). Registration is now open for the workshop. You can call the campus at 613-2672859 ext. 2691 or pop by the campus in person at 7 Craig St. in Perth. To learn more about the heritage fencing course, as well as the other Continuing Education courses on offer this spring at the Algonquin College Perth Campus, please visit its website at algonquincollege.com/perth.

Each bride will receive a ballot for a chance to win some great door prizes, and score extra discounts from some of the vendors who will be at the show. “If brides register in advance for the event they receive five ballots,� Shannon said. Shannon and Patrick are no strangers to hosting events, having organized the Carleton Place Mom 2 Mom Sale and WRAP IT

Munro and wife Tania purchased their dance studio’s new building, the former LCBO property, three years ago. Together they are working to grow their business, which boasts the largest dance floor of all studios in the
National Capital Region. “Alex approached me about doing the bridal show,� Shannon said. “Many people don’t realize the businesses and services Carleton Place has to offer, as well as its unique venues.� “It’s also a good way to bring people to their location to see the dance studio,� she continued.

cipal Suzanne Morrison, president of the Ontario Principals’ Council District 28. “His legacy will live on for a long time,” added vice-chair Jeff McMillan. “The contribution he has made to this board and to the students of Upper Canada is immeasurable.” Pietersma’s final focus will be to ensure that a zero-tolerance policy for drug and alcohol use by students at school events is enforced by the system. At Pietersma’s urging, the board passed a resolution that will create a new strategic plan charter to address the issue focus-
ing on student-driven solutions. It will encourage the expansion and reactivation of Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving chapters in our high schools. Principals will also ensure strict enforcement of current policies and procedures banning use of drugs and alcohol at proms and other events to avoid the tragedies that can result from impaired driving. “We must have the courage to keep our students safe,” said Pietersma. “They’re too important not to.” Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

equal access to French immersion and core French programming throughout the board. Pietersma instituted the Accountability Framework, a system that ensures goals and accomplishments of the CREW Strategic Plan are meeting the objectives set by trustees. He was also a champion of expanded social media and the use of iPads, smart phones, and other personal devices in the classroom. He led the board through a difficult challenge at the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) last school year, after the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) pressured members to withhold support for extracurricular activities following the passage of Bill 115, which withdrew the ability of ETFO members to strike. In April 2013, the OLRB ruled in favor of the UCDSB. The precedent-setting decision confirmed that where a collective agreement exists, counseling the withdrawal of voluntary activities is considered an illegal strike and is not permitted. The victory was not without its price, as teachers and their union vehemently resisted the challenge. “But when we saw that the decisions made by ETFO were affecting our students we could not stand idly by,” said Pietersma. “We had to take action. I think it was worth it.” Director David Thomas said such courage in the face of strong resistance has been a hallmark of Pietersma’s tenure. “Greg will always be recognized for his character, particularly his ability to precisely take an issue and apply it in the context of how it will impact students positively or negatively,” said Thomas. “Greg never faltered from the challenge of doing the right thing for students in spite of the fact it might have impacted him personally. The hallmark of his tenure is a deep sense of social justice.” Principals and fellow trustees say they will also miss Pietersma. “The principals definitely appreciated his commitment to improved student learning in our board and his support for arts programming, quality daily physical education and professional learning within our system,” said prin-

News – A man who focused the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) on student achievement, fought to maintain local control of decisions, and brought the board into the age of social media is stepping down. Chair Greg Pietersma announced April 14 he will not run in the fall of 2014 as school trustee for Dundas County. After spending a decade in school politics, the father of four wants to refocus his efforts on his business, and other new projects. “I view the job of trustee and chair as a significant commitment,” said Pietersma, owner of Pietersma Tinworks near Chesterville. “There is no schedule really because things happen and you have to constantly change your day and reflect on solving problems because public education is so important. There are other projects I want to pursue and in order to be fair to the job of trustee I want to step back and let someone else pick up the baton.” “One of the things that galvanized my decision is that my son Sam has joined my company and I want to take the time needed to help develop his skills and provide him the mentorship he needs going forward,” he added. During his tenure as trustee, vice-chair and chair he has overseen significant changes in the board that have improved student learning. He oversaw the Building 2020 process which realigned our school structure, closing smaller schools and amalgamating them, and building new facilities so that children could enjoy improved programing, as well as expanded social and extracurricular activities. “It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do,” Pietersma said about Building 2020. “When I was first elected I never thought I would be championing closing schools. But I became aware of the challenges of running small schools – that they couldn’t offer our students rich experiences with such small numbers in the classroom. We had to put our students first.” The process also brought about the successful Grades 7-12 model for our secondary schools, and ensured that every family has

As the evening goes on, it gets cooler and darker, just as the emotions of the cancer patient do. Around 1 to 2 a.m., Relay participants have been walking for hours and may begin to feel tired and the desire to take a break or go home. This represents the time when a cancer patient starts treatment. It is at this time that many patients become exhausted, some sick, not wanting to go on, possibly wanting to give up.

Mick Armitage Band has busy summer including appearance at Merrickville Car Show Community – After more than 30 years in the music business Mick Armitage continues to spend his nights and weekends entertaining people. With more than 1,000 shows under his belt the affable drummer and vocalist has no intention of quitting the music business. “I’m the weak link in the band,” Armitage says modestly. “But I just love to play. We are doing 20-25 events a year these days. “I tell the guys (band members) that we will keep playing until they (public) stop calling,” Armitage chuckles. “I work and I play music – that’s my life. “When I hear the cheering and shouting and watch the people dancing it is all worth it.” The Mick Armitage Band will be headliners at the ‘Spring Fling 2014 Charity Concert’ scheduled for Irish Hills Golf Club near Carp on Saturday, April 26. The venture begins at 8 p.m. and tickets are $25 apiece. The event, presented by Wanda Clark, broker for Keller Williams VIP Realty, will assist the ongoing battle against the growing problem presented by Type 1 Diabetes. Clark says all proceeds of the Carp benefit will go to assist the Torontobased Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Canada (JDRF). The organization also has an eastern Ontario office on Merivale Road in Ottawa. The motto of JDRF is, “Improving Lives, Curing Type 1 Diabetes.” Armitage says he and his band are pleased to be involved in such a worthwhile endeavour. “Wanda (Clark) is the chief organizer and she puts so much effort into this. Last year we raised more than $6,000.
“Diabetes can be such a devastating disease. We hope this event will sell out as we work to assist JDRF,” he states. Armitage says tables of 10 are available for April 26. To purchase individual tickets or tables telephone Armitage at 613-226-9178 or Clark at 613223-3310. The Mick Armitage Band will be joined by three other well-known Ottawa Valley and West Quebec entertainers. Vocalist Gail Gavan and the father-daughter team of Louis and Kaitlyn Schryer are special guests for the occasion. The always popular Gavan is a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. Louis Schryer is a worldclass fiddler. His daughter Kaitlyn is an accomplished step dancer. “Louis is the cream of the crop,” Armitage says enthusiastically. “And Kaitlyn was just nine years old when she started dancing at shows we were playing.” This month’s show is a warm-up for a busy summer season for Armitage and his band including an appearance at the Merrickville Car Show in July. Long history The nucleus of the current Mick Armitage Band has been performing together since 1997. But Armitage’s band days date back to 1983 when he helped form the Arnprior-based group ‘Racoons on Ice’. They played together for 14 years, performing across Eastern Ontario and West Quebec. However, it is with the group that bears his name that Armitage has found his greatest success! They have performed nationally and internationally. “We’ve played on both coasts, we’ve
performed in Mexico six times and in 2006 we did a tour of Ireland,” he outlines. The band has been off the bar and night club circuit for years. “We book mainly with private clients and organizations. We play at fundraisers, like the one at Irish Hills Golf Club this month. We do shows of every kind including fairs, festivals and private parties,” Armitage explains. “Our business is almost all referrals – word of mouth. “I’ve definitely been around a long time. I know that because I am now playing at the weddings of the kids of the same people I played for (wedding parties) over 20 years ago.” He jokes his band is “mainly a warm weather act. “We don’t do many shows in the winter. Right now we’re doing about 25 shows in nine months. That works out to about 2.8 a month,” he laughs. He credits his four fellow band members with the group’s success. “We know over 500 songs, 90 per cent of which is classic rock. We’re a ‘Boomers’ band now.” Besides Armitage on drums and vocals the other members of the band are vocalist/bass player Grant Tomkinson from Westmeath, Stittsville’s Bruce Baker on saxophone and vocals and Al Bragg on the pedal steel. Bragg “The Reverend” also provides additional vocal support. Armitage calls his longtime bandmate (Bragg) “the best pedal steel player in Canada.” Like Gavan, Bragg is also a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. The newest member of the band is lead guitarist Pete Foret. The Aylmer, Quebec native has more than 30 years’ experience as an arranger, musician, composer and band leader. He has
FREE YOURSELF FROM HIGH HEATING COSTS
performed with Alanis Morrisette, Martha Reeves and other world-class acts. Foret replaces long-time guitarist/vocalist Al Tambay. “Pete subbed for Al. So when Al had to leave the band due to other commitments Pete came on as the regular. We are fortunate to have him in the band. “Basically we switched one for the other. Al now subs for Pete. It works,” Armitage laughs. A native of Shawville, Quebec Armitage started playing music in his youth and soon his focus became the drums. “I grew up during the Rock and Roll era in the 1960s. That was my influence,” he recalls. His late mother Mary (Spearman) was a native of Stittsville. His father, Dr. Roly Armitage, is a highly respected veterinarian and horse breeder who is known across Eastern Ontario and West Quebec. Armitage Sr. is now 89 and living in Dunrobin in the West Carleton section of rural, west Ottawa. “Dad is still a going concern.” Last May the elder Armitage was among Canadian veterans who attended armistice ceremonies in Holland. A young Roly Armitage served with the Canadian Army during the liberation of western Europe in
1944 and early 1945, including the offensive which freed The Netherlands from nearly five years of Nazi occupation. “He was in the artillery. I am very proud of my Dad. He’s an amazing man,” his proud son observes. Armitage Jr. is a full-time civilian employee of the Department of National Defence and he resides in Ottawa. Busy year The Mick Armitage Band has another very busy year ahead. On Saturday, June 21 they will perform at a private, corporate party planned for the newly renamed Canadian Museum of History (formerly Canadian Museum of Civilization) in Gatineau, Quebec. Sunday, July 13 they will make a return engagement as part of the entertainment at the annual Merrickville Car Show which features live music from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The car show, the largest event of its kind in Canada, is located at the Blockhouse beside the Rideau Canal in historic Merrickville, southwest of Ottawa. On Thursday, July 17 the Mick Armitage Band makes yet another appearance as part of the City of Ottawa’s summer ‘Concerts in the Park Series.’ The classic rock concert will be staged at Fitzroy Provincial
Park in Fitzroy Harbour from 7-8:30 p.m. Admission is free and a barbecue will be held on site sponsored by the West Carleton Youth Committee. Saturday, July 19 they will be part of the entertainment at the Canadian Shark Championship at Britannia Yacht Club in Ottawa. Weddings and family reunions are also on the band’s list this summer. But on Sunday Aug. 31 the band returns to the Shawville Fair for a 16th consecutive year. They will perform from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. On the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 27 they will be part of the live musical entertainment at the annual Carp Fair. Visit the website www.carpfair.ca for the schedule and times. They already have a Christmas party booked in December and next Feb. 8 the band will perform at Dr. Roly Armitage’s 90th birthday party which is scheduled for the Constance Bay Legion Hall. Asked for the secret to their success Armitage Jr. responds, “As Hans Christian Andersen (Danish author and poet) once said ‘Where words fail, music speaks.’” For complete information on the Mick Armitage Band and their schedule for this year and early 2015 visit the website: www.mickarmitageband.com.

Community – The annual Pakenham Home Show was held at the Stewart Community Centre on April 5. There, event-goers could find someone to fill all of their home-related needs, from hot tub sales companies and roofers to appliances and furniture. Above, in their colourful, flower-filled booth, Jill Moxley, left, and Gwen Fleuelling, right, of the Pakenham Horticultural Society had many passers-by dreaming of spring.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Consider becoming organ, tissue donor DEAR EDITOR: April 20 to 27 is national Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week Are you registered as an organ and tissue donor? More than 95 per cent of Ontarians agree that organ donation is a good thing, yet only 25 per cent of Ontarians are registered as donors. Perth is 31 per cent, Smiths Falls is 26 per cent and Carleton Place, 25 per cent. Are you on record as a donor? You need to register even if you signed a donor card. A signed donor card is not recorded in the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s database and may not be available when needed. Go to www.beadonor. ca and with your health card number you can find out if you are on the data base, and if not you can be registered in a few minutes. You can also register at any ServiceOntario Centre. People over 50 mistakenly think they’re too old to be organ donors even though they are most likely to need transplants (In 2012, more than 60 per cent of recipients of deceased persons organs were over 50). In Ontario in 2011-2012, 47 per cent of the 222 people who gave the gift of life through organ donation after death were 50 or older, and 11 per cent were 70+.
More hospitals are moving to the “routine notification” program. This requires staff in the emergency departments and critical care units to report every death or impending death so that The Trillium Gift of Life Network can identify potential donors and includes all deaths of patients 79 years of age or younger on all floors of the hospital. Every donor has the potential to save up to eight lives and enhance the lives of up to 75 others through tissue donation. Organs include heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, kidneys and small bowel. The most common types of tissue transplanted are corneas, skin, bone, cardiovascular tissue (heart valves and veins) and connective tissue (tendons, ligaments). By talking it over with your family you will make it easier for your loved ones to consent to organ and tissue donation on your behalf. Be sure you visit www.giftoflife.on.ca and www.beadonor.ca for more information. One person dies every three days waiting for an organ. It doesn’t have to be this way. Recycle yourself – be a donor.

COMMENTARY Take caution with social media Editorial – Social media can be a wonderful thing – connecting people to one another in many different ways and for many different reasons. From Facebook to Twitter and pinterest there are many sites to choose from. Recently, police issued a warning after receiving several complaints from women in the area. The women have reported being contacted by a male over Facebook with the “pretext of selling something and then insisting on being added as a friend.” This male has then attempted to meet with the females, or made remarks deemed as inappropriate over Facebook. This has prompted the police to remind the community to follow safe rules of practice when online and on social media sites. They advise to “Not add persons as friends on Facebook unless you are completely comfortable with that individual.” They also point out that adding people on to your account also allows them to potentially see the profile pages of your friends. Double checking security settings on the account is something police also remind facebook users to put on their immediate to-do list. If for some reason an account holder has added someone by mistake, or find they are uncomfortable with that person, the police advise to block them immediately. In the cases mentioned above, the local police report, “A person of interest has been identified” and investigations are continuing. Always remember to take caution when going online. If you are unsure or uncomfortable don’t “Friend” them. When using the internet one can never be absolutely certain with whom one is dealing.
Mary learns there’s no such thing as a family pet on the farm Lifestyle – It was a wet and long spring that year. And the winter coldness was yet to fade away to warmer days, leaving a chill in the air that seemed to penetrate our very bones. But it was lambing time, and the joy of welcoming those tiny little bodies of wool out on the farm in Northcote, took away the greyness of the season, and filled my heart with unspeakable joy. Although I never wanted to see the actual births, it wasn’t long after the deliveries that I was in the barn, leaning on the board rail of the lambing pen, watching the mothers nudge their babies and they, with wobbly legs trying, to find firm footing. That year Father was pleased with the number of lambs born in the barn, and with two or three ewes yet to birth, everything pointed to a bit of relief from the cares of the Depression. There would be wool and meat to market, easing the constant worries of survival when poverty was
all around us. When the very last ewe delivered, two tiny bodies emerged, but alas, one was as black as ink. Father who prided himself on the white wool he took to market, shook his head, and then said, “don’t think its going to make it anyway...it’s just a little runt of a thing, I doubt if it will see the end of the day. At that very moment I claimed the little black lamb for my very own. I called it Lambie most of the time, but sometimes, called it Blackie. I asked Father if I could look after it, and from then on, the little lamb and I were inseparable. I fed it milk from a little bottle belonging to one of my dolls, and to my utter joy, not only did it survive that day, and the night, but began to show signs of growing into a healthy and sturdy sheep. I was too young to know that you didn’t raise domestic animals on the farm as pets. They would eventually end up at the marVice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

ket, or in the smoke house. Or, more than likely, I just put the thought out of my mind. Lambie and I would grow old together. And it grew, and only when I was at school or in the house, or in bed, were we apart. It followed me around the barnyard, and while it was still tiny, I carried it in my arms as if it were a little puppy. And I watched in wonder, as Lambie grew. I even hated to go off to school and leave Lambie behind.

said. “It’s a full grown sheep.” As if that made a whit of difference about how I felt about Lambie. It would always be a baby sheep as far as I was concerned. I remember the day everything changed. It was a cold and wet late spring day. I wondered if summer would ever come. We had to wear our rubber raincoats to the Northcote school, and rubber boots and carry our shoes with our books and lunch. As we neared the house after school, I could see that Mother even had the lamps lit, and for once I didn’t go to the barn, but stayed in the cozy kitchen. And then it was suppertime, and I still hadn’t gone to the barn to check on Lambie, sure that it would be as warm as toast on a mound of hay with all the other sheep. Our supper was ample as usual, and just as I was tucking into my bowl of apple crisp, Emerson, who had been unusually quiet all through ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea McMurtry SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM
the meal, asked me if I enjoyed my meal. Which was unusual for Emerson, because he was usually only interested in his own stomach. I assured him I did. “Well, you just ate Lambie,” he said. I looked around the table. No one raised their eyes. Mother busied herself at the stove, and Father reached over and patted my hand, and told me again that we couldn’t raise farm animals as pets. Nausea swept over me like a cold wet blanket, and I ran to the privy like someone possessed. My stomach ached from being so sick and I thought I may not survive. Could anyone die from a broken heart, I wondered? The feeling of utter sadness and helplessness stayed with me long after that fateful night had passed. It was the night I vowed never again in my lifetime would I ever eat a mouthful of lamb. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

BarnDoor Productions closes 19th season with Broadway’s second-longest running play Arts – It’s 19 years, almost to the day, since Perth’s BarnDoor Productions (BDP) mounted their very first show, playing in public school gymnasiums in three towns in Lanark County. A lot has changed for Perth’s original community theatre since then: for one thing, the group long ago outgrew school gyms and now own and perform in their own ground-level, barrier-free theatre. What hasn’t changed is the hard work and sweat that BDP’s company of community players put into every production. What they do is “amateur” in the best sense of the word, meaning they do it for the love of the work. What they produce on the stage goes far beyond what the word “amateur” often implies. One of the comments given after BDP’s very first performance in 1995 was “Of course, most of your people are professionals,” when none were. Even at that early time in their history, BDP’s company of players presented work that, in the words of the Perth Courier, “belies their amateur status.” Nineteen seasons later, BDP is opening their 93rd production, taking on one of the most honoured and challenging plays of the last decade, the secondlongest running Broadway play of the 2000s. Yasmina Reza’s God of Carnage, translated by Christopher Hampton, won the French Moliere Award for Best New Comedy, the British Olivier Award for Best New Play and four Tony Awards on Broadway including, of course, Best New Play. For a comedy to win the Tony for Best Play is rare; for the same comedy to also win the Olivier for Best Play is unheard of.

From left: Don Mackay, Karen Bernique, Chris Angel and Kristy Angel are featured in God of Carnage, the final show in BarnDoor Productions’ 19th season, which opens this God of Carnage is, on the surface, a simple story about two sets of parents who meet to discuss their sons’ schoolyard fight like civilized people. We find, by the end, that the veneer of civilization is very thin in places. It’s a play of minute detail and twists of character that presents a very tough challenge for its cast of four. BDP’s company are drawing on ex-
week at the Full Circle Theatre in Perth. Two sets of parents meet to discuss their sons’ schoolyard fight in a civilized manner – until the civilization wears off. The show runs April 25, 26, 27, May 1, 2, 3 and 4.
perience to meet the challenge. Chris and Kristy Angel, who played Nick and Honey in 2012’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, play a very different married couple this time around, with a very different take on married life. Karen Bernique, who helped reveal the Secrets of a Soccer Mom for BDP in 2008, brings a real touch of neurosis and more to her role, while Don Mac-
Kay, whose first stage appearance was in 2012’s The Cricket On The Hearth, Rehearsed, steps into a major role as a self-assured, dominant lawyer, more intent on his clients than his family. In all, the four present a lighted powder keg, ready to explode. When it does, it is with a balanced blend of both comedy and insight – a show with both pratfalls and philosophy.
It takes a deft directorial hand to shape such a play and BDP producing director Janice Jacklin brings over three decades of directorial experience to the task. What Janice brings to a show is a unique skill, the ability to craft a production so that the audience rarely notices that there even was a director, which is a rare gift. God of Carnage is a great show to highlight the kind of work that BDP’s company produces time after time. It is funny, exciting, engrossing and a little bit enlightening and a fitting finale to BDP’s 19th mainstage season. Of course, once the main stage season ends, the summer season begins and BDP is presenting two classics for 2014: the Victorian thriller Gaslight (actually written in 1938) in June and the 1670s comedy The Country Wife, one of the most outrageous plays of the classical repertoire, for July/August. And, once those are done, it’s time for BarnDoor Productions’ 20th anniversary season for 2014/2015, but that’s another story. God of Carnage runs April 25, 26, May 1, 2, 3 at 8 p.m. and April 27 and May 4 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved, or $22 at the door. To reserve, simply call 613-267-1884. No credit cards are required, simply bring cash to the performance. All performances are at the barrier-free, ground-level Full Circle Theatre (26 Craig Street, Perth) near Last Duel Park.

Europe by rail provides countless travel options Lifestyle – After the winter we have had (we were still having it when I wrote this column) it is not surprising summer and vacations are on the minds of so many readers. In the wake of my recent column on Ireland I received
numerous emails from people who A.) Outlined their travel experiences on the Emerald Isle or B.) Offered suggestions on places to visit in Ireland. Thank you for the feedback everyone, it is always great to hear from newspaper readers. Due to

my email volume I don’t get a chance to answer every message. But I do want to emphasize how much I appreciate all of your comments and suggestions on every subject I write about. A Carleton Place friend hailed me on the street one day recently while I was out for my afternoon walk. “I’m not happy with you,” she said. “What have I done this time,” I replied. “You’re going to Ireland,” she said, flashing a wide grin. She was pulling my leg of course. But she still made it clear she is jealous! “I don’t blame you,” I added. “Isn’t it a wonderful country?” “You had better go to Wicklow,” she offered. I assured her the picturesque county, south of Dublin, is on our itinerary this summer. Last week I met another friend downtown. After exchanging pleasantries he informed me he was leaving for Banff by train the next day. He makes an annual pilgrimage by rail to Alberta and the Banff Springs Hotel where, as a student, he worked for the summer in the hotel kitchens. He traveled by rail then too. And he enjoyed the experience so much he now feels his year is incomplete if he doesn’t repeat that journey. I know exactly how he feels. Some travel and life experiences are so wonderful they cry out to be repeated as often as time and money will allow. As I continued my walk I felt this column coming on. For me there is no better way to clear my head and think about what lies ahead than when I am walking. Thinking about our planned Ireland trip and hearing about my friend’s rail excursion to Banff prompts me to extoll the
Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE
virtues of train travel in Europe. I’ve mentioned my love of rail travel in past columns and features in this newspaper. Like my local friend, I never tire of rail excursions. Not only is it a fast, efficient way to get from point A to point B, it is also a great way to see our continent and any other country you choose to visit. There are far too few rail options in Canada and the United States I am sad to report. Unfortunately we are so tied to motor vehicles in North America that passenger train service is sporadic at best and nonexistent in many places. Terrible decision Locally it was so incredibly sad to see the last railway line through our community torn up last summer. It marked the end of an era, but it also means train service is unlikely to be restored here – ever! It would be cost prohibitive to even consider that kind of infrastructure again. So, very short sighted decision making and we will all pay a price for it! In Europe it’s a totally different story. Great Britain for example continues to be utterly dependent on railways. Fewer people own motor vehicles there because trains and buses are so frequent and dependable in most communities. The government there encourages citizens to use mass transit and the railways are alive and well. Newer, better trains are being added all the time and lines are continually upgraded in an effort to provide faster, more efficient service. Clearly
the thinking is the exact opposite of what governments here are considering when it comes to mass transit. Outside of our biggest centres, passenger rail service and/or light rail is not an option for many Canadians including communities across the coverage area of this newspaper. On our first private visit to the United Kingdom in the mid-1990s my wife Kathleen and me began a love affair with train travel which continues to blossom. I clearly remember our first trips in England. We took the high-speed service from King’s Cross Station in London north to York which, interestingly, happens to be home to Britain’s National Railway Museum (it is well worth a visit too). We were there in just over two hours. By road the same trip would have taken more than twice that long. The next day we decided to visit the Yorkshire seaside community of Scarborough which, among many attractions, has interesting castle ruins perched high atop a cliff overlooking the North Sea. On a clear day the views up and down the coast are unlimited. You can see for 30 miles (nearly 50 kilometres). Beneath the castle walls and overlooking the sea is the grave of novelist Anne Brontë, one of the famed Brontë sisters. She died young (age 29) and is interred in St. Mary’s churchyard. We made the short journey to and from Scarborough on a so-called “Sprinter” a two-car train designed for short haul trips. It was a slower and
bumpy ride. But I can still remember the lovely, green Yorkshire countryside we passed through. In places our train scared sheep who were grazing near the tracks. They bolted across the fields, tails high in the air. Since that time we have visited the UK many times and we have traveled the length and breadth of England and Scotland on the train. Flying is faster of course, but you see very little from the air. The train quite literally opens a window to the country you are passing through. There is so much more to see. Apart from being stranded at Stansted Airport (in the County of Essex north of London) on a hot – yes, it can be very hot in England – summer afternoon we have had few negative experiences on the train. Trains are frequent, generally on time and they are an efficient way to get around in England and other European nations where heavy road traffic often leads to total gridlock. We would far rather take the train than drive ourselves. Besides, they drive on the wrong side of the road in the UK! German experience Kathy and I and our friends the LeBlanc’s have also had very good train travel experiences in Germany in recent years. Getting around that country couldn’t be easier on the high speed train service and using the trains is so convenient. If you fly to Frankfurt am Main (simply Frankfurt to most people) there are two railway stations right at the airport. One is for domestic travel, the other for international train service. Traveling south via Mannheim, Karlsruhe and Baden-Baden we reached our destination, Offenburg, so quickly we were amazed. We then picked
up our rental van and proceeded with our tour of the Black Forest and the nearby Alsace Region of east-central France. Our planned visit to Ireland this summer will also include liberal use of the train. It will be our first time using the rail service on the island but given our past European experiences we have no hesitation in booking trains there. We plan a combined train/ coach (bus) tour of the south coast in the Irish Republic and the west coast up to Galway. From there we will return to our base in Dublin before departing, again by rail, for Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland. The four of us love the train and we are thrilled at the prospect of seeing sections of Ireland from the comfort of a railway carriage. Personally, I would recommend the train to anyone planning a visit to the British Isles, Ireland or Continental Europe. From air hubs such as London, Glasgow, Dublin and Frankfurt you can quickly and efficiently travel virtually anywhere across the European continent. Besides train/coach excursions there are also trips which combine train and sea travel. Your travel agent will be happy to outline the many options available to you. We can hardly wait to depart on our latest European adventure. Using the train will simply make our journeys all the more enjoyable! It’s a lesson we need to apply here in order to reduce our growing dependence on motor vehicles. More public transit is the way to go and you need look no farther than Europe to see how well it could work here.

Do you have a chronic illness, making day-to-day living tiring? If so, Living Well is a program for you! Participants from Country Roads Community Health Centre are talking about the program and how it helped them build their confidence and take charge of their health problems. One person said, “Liv-

A detailed look at how car markers rank in terms of recalls Lifestyle – With all the talk of recalls lately (GM’s ignition switches and Toyota’s latest multi-model call-back) it might be helpful to put some perspective on things. A popular US used vehicle website; iseecars. com has compiled a ranking sheet to show how carmakers stack up in terms of the number of recalls per vehicles sold. While this is a strictly US based statistical study, the ratings are fairly accurate for Canadian vehicles. How does your favourite auto manufacturer stack up? See the attached chart, which shows manufacturer recall rate trends. “Hello Brian, This is a question that affects all those who have separate rims for their winter tires. Like many others, I have my winter tires mounted on separate rims, for easy changeover. I also have Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) installed on my winter rims. In my case, both the summer and winter tires run at 32 psi. When I switch to summer tires, does the TPMS have to be recalibrated? If so, this would seem to preclude lots of folks from being able to swap out their own tires and rims.” Paul Most vehicles will adapt to a seasonal change in tire pressure sensors without any special intervention. It usually only takes a 15-minute drive or less for the vehicle’s TPMS receiver to adapt to the different sensors. This depends on the make and model of
the vehicle and the type of sensor used. In my counter experience few drivers ever opt for winter tire pressure sensors, mainly due to cost and their susceptibility to seizing from salt and moisture contamination. Here are a couple of tips (now known as hacks) that are worth trying. If you’re constantly dinging your car door(s) on the walls of your garage, consider slicing a pool noodle in half and fastening it to the walls. This next one sounds crazy, but there is science to back it up. To extend the range on your vehicle’s remote entry fob, hold it against your head while pushing the button. It’s actually the liquid in your skull that makes

Ruth Margaret
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother. Ruth passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 30, 2014. Born on April 10, 1925, Ruth grew up in North Bay, Ontario the daughter of William and Tina Rankin who owned the North Bay General Store. After high school she left North Bay and moved to Toronto where she attended and graduated as a Registered Nurse at the Toronto East General Hospital. In the summer of 1946 she met a young man at a resort in the Muskoka’s Allan Somerville and started a relationship that would lead to marriage in 1948. They would start their new life in Hamilton, Ontario and a few years later relocate to Niagara Falls with three sons. Nine years later they would move to Perth, Ontario where Ruth resided with her family for most of her married life. Ruth would later move to Fredricton, NB where she resided for her remaining years. Ruth was a loving and caring woman who had a deep love for her husband and family. She enjoyed her nursing years and worked hard at being a devoted wife, mother, and mentor. She enjoyed her golf, curling, bridge, baking and social gatherings. An avid reader, Ruth always had a book in hand. She was a loyal sports fan, always cheering for her Hamilton Tiger Cats and Toronto Blue Jays! Her various dogs gave her love and comfort, particularly in her later years. Ruth was predeceased by her husband of 45 years Allan, her brother Bill (Sheila) Rankin, and her sister Betty (John) Marchington. Ruth is survived by her sons Grant, Rob (Terri), David (Donna), grandchildren Christopher, Barrett, and Brendan, as well as several nieces and nephews. Ruth will be missed by all.

IN MEMORIAM
COUTTS, Bill – In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather, who was taken from us April 24, 2011. It’s hard to believe 3 years has passed. We lost a husband, father and grandfather with a heart of gold. How much we miss him can never be told. He shared our troubles And helped us along, If we follow his footsteps, We will never go wrong. What he suffered he told but few, He did not deserve What he went through. Tired and weary he made no fuss But tried so hard to stay with us. We prayed for a miracle all in vain, That God would make you well again. But God knew best, we had to part, It eased your pain but broke our hearts. We cannot bring the old days back When we were all together. The family chain is broken now, But memories live forever. He was a father so very rare, Content in his home and always there, On earth he toiled, in heaven he rests, God bless you, Dad You were one of the best. So if roses grow in heaven God, Please pick a bunch for us. And place them in Dad’s arms, And tell him they’re from us. And when he turns and smiles, Place a kiss upon his cheek, And hold him for awhile. Lois Coutts & family
Forever Young NELSON, Larry Jr. July 18, 1964 - April 18, 2013 – My loving son Larry, who passed away a year ago today. God saw you getting weak and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered, come with me. Sadly missed by Mom, Uncle John and Aunt Kathy
RIP BRENNO May 1, 1951–April 17, 2012 My darling Rip – Dear Dad, We love you and miss you more than words can explain, And our hearts continue to ache every second of every day, But knowing you are watching and taking care of us like always, somehow helps us to breathe and carry on. You are my everything and I can’t wait to hold your hand again. “We Love you more” With all our Love, Lo, Jenna and Steven XO

The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our way of saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown confidence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. As of July 1, 2014, our “We Remember” publication will only run in

OBST, Wanda - In memory of a dear, fun and loving sister and aunt, who was taken tragically in a car accident, April 23, 2003. Time passes… our grief remains… You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you cannot see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she’d want; Smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Forever in our hearts… Deb, Doug and Erin

communities more resilient and reduce damages. These could include: increased flash flood protection, better systems to deal with freezing rain episodes and extended power-outages, improved culverts and storm water management systems, and water conservation measures for low water periods. With municipalities and conservation authorities struggling under budget constraints, the identification and prioritization of adaptation measures and early implementation of the most urgent ones is important. Dr. Bruce illustrated one proven method for undertaking a climate change risk assessment at municipal and regional levels, together with an example of a visual display of the risk levels of various climate impacts. Dr. Bruce acknowledged the very useful work that has been done by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority on water quality and aquatic ecosystems in the Tay watershed and Perth region. One very helpful undertaking was the flood plain mapping done in 2012; he highlighted the need to update this every five years as climate conditions change. He stressed that community organizations and individuals can and should play active roles in promoting and undertaking measures to adapt to the changing climate; deciding on priority measures should be based on widely shared analyses. Two complementary approaches are needed to address climate change issues: 1) To adapt; and 2) To reduce global and local emissions to slow the
rate of change. The speaker observed that Canada is clearly a laggard nation in implementing emissions reduction strategies especially compared with countries like Sweden which has similar latitudinal climate issues to Canada. A chart of projected provincial greenhouse gas emissions indicated a slow reduction across the country but a growth in emissions from the oil sands operations, although the industry is making significant efforts to reduce those emissions. In conclusion, the speaker emphasized that climate change is here and is increasing. Impacts will continue to increase for several decades in spite of reduction efforts which will slow the rate of change. The water sector is facing major impacts, and a portfolio of adaptation measures is essential to protect communities and the water sector. The talk provoked very active questions and interesting discussion.

Province’s spring turkey hunt just around the corner April 25-May 31 Lifestyle – Nothing says springtime like the sound of a distant gobble in the turkey woods. The spring turkey hunting season starts Friday, April 25 and runs to Saturday, May 31 and this season offers more opportunities for Ontario hunters than ever before. Sustainable wild turkey populations in Ontario have allowed for additional spring and fall hunting opportunities in 2014. For the first time, the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has introduced new spring turkey hunting seasons in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 42 (Sudbury district) and WMUs 47, 49 and 50 (North Bay and Parry Sound districts). A new fall hunting season will take place in WMU 59 (Pembroke district). The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH), along with other advocates, began working with the MNR more than 25 years ago to restore wild turkeys in the province. “The reintroduction of the
THE EMC - 36 - Thursday, April 24, 2014
eastern wild turkey to Ontario is one of the province’s most successful wildlife recovery stories,” OFAH biologist Dawn Sucee says. “With more than 70,000 birds estimated in Ontario, populations seem to have stabilized in many areas. In other areas of the province, the range continues to expand naturally.” This is great news for Ontario turkey hunters who may not have had a turkey hunting season in their WMU previously, or for those who are interested in travelling to new hunting grounds. These additional turkey hunting opportunities were established in part using information submitted by Ontario hunters. Mandatory turkey harvest reporting enables MNR biologists to analyze populations and make recommendations on management. Successful turkey hunters must report their harvested bird by no later than noon the day after it was harvested.

This would, in turn, be a great opportunity to showcase the (town) and what it has to offer to potential businesses and potential residential clientele.” Gallipeau also suggested that with the Gerry Lowe Rink of Dreams being proposed adjacent to 140 Elmsley St., “the building’s existing services could be utilized with a small addition to the rear, providing washrooms and/or change rooms with washrooms to the users of the Rink of Dreams. “The cost of these washrooms could possibly be negotiated with the board members of the Rink of Dreams.” Chamber president Chris Saumure, when contacted by this newspaper, said it is not the intention of the chamber to relocate to 140 Elmsley St. “That ship sailed last year and the board of directors decided that the Town Hall was the better location for us to serve our members, visitors and our community partners such as the DBA and the Town,” he wrote in an email exchange. “There are some new members of the board (who) are not aware that the board last year spent countless hours debating the pros and cons of relocating to140 Elmsley and in the end it was not financially viable for either the chamber or the town.” The fact that there is a petition circulating with regard to the property is as far as Pankow is concerned a positive development. “I think it is great that people are getting engaged,” said Pankow. “And (they) are passionate about saving this classic old building from the wrecking ball.”

Local group walks a mile in Jesus’ footsteps By SAM COOLEY
News – This year’s annual Walk of the Cross in Smiths Falls brought out Christians of different denominations to walk a mile in Jesus’ footsteps. The walk started at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church on Elmsley Street North, the group of Christians grew to about 100 people before they set out at noon on April 18, Good Friday. Standing on the steps to the Catholic church, Fr. Rod McNeil told the crowd the event was not a reenactment, but was rather a “reminder of Jesus’ selfsacrifice.” The group was certain of its spiritual direction, but

was just as certain of its geographic direction. He also asked the crowd: “Are we on the sidewalk, or are we on the road?” The crowd replied in unison: “The road!” The group walked up Elmsley Street North towards Trinity United Church, their first destination. Soon after, they passed by the First Baptist Church and the Westminster Presbyterian Church across the street. The final destination for the Walk of the Cross was St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church. The group sang hymns and carried small palm crosses distributed by Rev. Rick Gariepy, the interim minister for St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church.
Brian Marshall, of the Smiths Falls Bethel Pentecostal Church, said he attended the Walk of the Cross last year. He said the weather this year was fantastic. “Because (Easter last year) was a month earlier, it was far colder,” recalled McNeil. In 2013 Good Friday was on March 29, but this year’s Good Friday landed on April 18, according to the lunar calendar. Marshall said there are several events during the year in which Christians of all denominations get together as one single unit. “We all have one God, and one Jesus,” Marshall said.

Town recognizes pair of dedicated volunteers hsorour@perfprint.ca
Community – In spite of a hockey game next door that filled the Memorial Community Centre for Game 2 of the Central Canada Hockey League Bogart Cup finals, the Volunteer Appreciation Night held at the Youth Arena on Tuesday April 15 was relatively well attended and for good reason – two of the town’s uber volunteers were honoured for their hours of dedication. Gary Lackey and Tom Foulkes were recognized for the hours they generously give to the community. “Each year we try to honour our volunteers,” said Dennis Staples, mayor of Smiths Falls, at the start of the evening’s presentations. The Volunteer of the Year Award is presented to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to council’s boards and committees. This year the award was presented to Lackey for his unstinting service on the Child Development Centre Board, the Heritage House Museum Advisory Board and the Traffic Advisory Committee. “He has been an eager and active member of all the committees he sits on,” said Staples, explaining that Lackey helped build the gazebo at Heritage House Museum, puts up the Christmas lights and is one of Santa’s helpers, along
with acting as a crossing guard at Broadview and Oak – rain, sleet or shine. “Thank you,” Lackey said simply. “I enjoy everything I do, and my wife enjoys having me out of the house,” he joked. Lackey joins the likes of Bill Curry, Joan Hogan, Susan Richards, Dave White and Stan Suffel as the 21st recipient of the award, which was launched in 1994. The second award was the prestigious Charles Gilhuly award presented to a person who has worked behind the scenes for nothing more than the self-satisfaction of bettering the quality of leisure time in Smiths Falls. “This person is a very shy individual, who works tirelessly in this community – we probably don’t know all the initiatives he’s been involved in, but he completely immerses himself in every initiative he takes on to ensure the job gets done right,” said Staples, introducing Tom Foulkes. Previously recognized in Smiths Falls through the Citizen of the Year Award, and the Senior Achievement award, Foulkes was gracious in his acceptance. “I’m surprised and deeply moved,” he said, going on to credit his late wife Pat Foulkes for much of his volunteerism. “We were a team,” he said, still grieving for his partner of more than 50 years.
Foulkes, a resident of Smiths Falls since 1998, began volunteering in town before he even moved here. Then again his roots run deep here, his grandparents lived in Smiths Falls and his grandfather helped build the library. “He basically rejuvenated the Friends of the Library starting in 1994. The Friends are important for us because they do a lot of advocacy for the library as well as financial support,” said Karen Schecter, chief librarian at the Smiths Falls Library, who attended the event. Foulkes’ community involvement has included the Friends, Rideau Environmental Action League, the Lions Club, the Station Theatre, Trinity United Church, Lombard Glen Golf Club, the Curling Club and the Travellers Tankard as well as the breakfast program at Duncan J. Schoular Public School. Born during the depression, Foulkes credits growing up in that environment with his commitment to community work. “I was part of a generation that was raised to believe that going to university was a privilege and meant you owed your community something for getting you there,” said Foulkes. Raised in Ottawa, Foulkes completed his MBA at the University of New Brunswick, and his career spanned a number of organizations both private and public. He’s one
of the original environmentalists, with a BA in forestry before heading to UNB, he was acutely aware that Canada’s greatest asset is its natural environment. He worked for both the Ministry of the Environment and Parks Canada. In his youth he played hockey and basketball, but football was his big love. “I was credited with bringing football to UNB,” he chuckles. In the ensuing years, Foulkes has faced many serious health issues, but he’s never given up. “I’ve had a lot of fun doing a lot of things – we did a lot of things together,” he says referring to his late wife. “After my accident in Australia about 10 years ago, I wasn’t much good for travelling,” he said, by way of explaining why he’s spent so much time on so many community initiatives. He also credits the community’s love and support, after Pat was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, for driving him to do more. That and a deep sense of integrity and responsibility and a practical acceptance that government funding is drying up so that it’s up to every community to look after itself. “If I have one message it’s that volunteers do make a difference,” he said. Now though he thinks he might slow down a bit. “I’m tired now, and I’m hurting.”

Argument over loud movie leads to charges On April 13, Smiths Falls police arrested and charged a 37-year-old Smiths Falls man with numerous incidents when a loud movie set him off. Police say the accused was in a residence with the victim, when he quickly became enraged over a loud movie the victim was watching and he started damaging property in the residence. The accused then told the victim he was going to take her vehicle and smash it. Officers responded and located the accused in the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle. When officers blocked the accused in, he drove across a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property, causing deep ruts in the lawn, then took off down the road at a high rate of speed. The accused was located a short time later at a residence and arrested without incident. He was charged with two counts of mischief, taking a motor vehicle without consent, uttering threats to damage property, dangerous driving, prohibited driving and breach of probation. He was held for bail. The allegations have not been proven in court. Man charged after landlord tenant dispute On April 16 at about 3:45 p.m. the victim spoke to the accused,
a former tenant regarding issues over a rental unit. It is alleged a confrontation occurred and the accused threatened to assault the victim. A 35-year-old Drummond North Elmsley man was arrested and charged with uttering threats. The accused was released on a promise to appear. Passenger arrested during traffic stop On April 16 around 10:30 p.m. an officer on patrol stopped a motor vehicle on Union Street.

Fearless four-year-old is inspiration to many, especially his mom By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
News – At almost five years of age, young Mason Stewart is fearless. His mom, Jenna, says he has more courage and strength than some adults she knows – including herself. “I’m a big chicken,” she says, during an interview at her farm on Buttermilk Hill Road recently. “In Florida, he went on the Mount Everest roller coaster – four times!” Mason loved every adrenaline-filled moment. Mom, however, was white-knuckled during the entire ride and thought she was going to pass out. “He is absolutely fearless. He’s like his dad (Eddie) that way, certainly not like me.” Eddie is an equipment operator for solar farm
installations and travels throughout the area. Currently, he’s commuting to Prescott and is gone all day, every day of the week. She cracks a grin through tear-brimmed eyes as she tells stories of her boy who is not your average four-year-old. He will turn five May 12. Mason has Type 3 Spinal Muscular Atrophy. He was diagnosed in 2011. While sitting in the dining room, Mason is in the kitchen, taking photos with his mom’s phone – of a calf. Its mother died giving birth to the big bull calf, and as a result, the newborn is in need of some extra TLC, which includes hugs by the woodstove and photos by Mason. Jenna smiles under her ball cap, her light brown hair pulled into a messy tail, a hot beverage in her
Jenna and Eddie Stewart and their son Mason will be hosting a fundraising event for SMA on Saturday, May 3 at their home on Buttermilk Hill Road. The event kicks off at 2 p.m. with registration for the walk, followed by a barbecue, silent auction, and a dance. All are welcome to attend. Submitted photo

SMA From page SF6
hands that has since cooled. She takes some time out to chat about an upcoming fundraiser she’s hosting for Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy of Canada (FSMA). This family has raised $40,000 for families of SMA. On May 3, Jenna and her team of extended family and friends will come together once again, for a bigger and better fundraising event. Diagnosed with SMA in 2009, Mason has a swagger to his gait, has trouble navigating stairs, and often falls. Both Jenna and Eddie are carriers of the gene that causes SMA. One in 40 people are carriers, according to statistics from Families of SMA Canada Society. The odds of them having another child with SMA are one in four. With these odds, the couple is weighing their options. “Mason’s so quirky, funny, he’s hilarious…” she says. Jenna shares a snow story. “The other day, when it starting snowing, Mason just looked out the window and says, ‘What the heck, Mother Nature?’ He’s four!” He asks so many questions – always asking questions. “You can’t get anything by him,” Jenna says.

Mason Stewart has SMA, but it doesn’t have him. There will be a fundraising event at his parents’ farm on May 3 to help families of spinal muscular atrophy. When asked what a typical day is like in her home, she laughs. “It’s a gong show!” Like most kids, Mason likes to sleep in during school days, and is up early during the weekends.
Mason plays T-ball and uses a trampoline for physiotherapy. He enjoys horseback riding and often wants to go full tilt, says his mother. Mason can’t run like other children, and needs help to stand when in a sitting position. But that doesn’t stop him from being a kid. “He’s a bit of a celebrity at school,” says Jenna, who admits her son has some leadership qualities that are shining through. “He can tell you how to gut a fish, a deer… a duck.” She laughs. “He told me the other day that someone had asked why he walked the way he does, and he replied. ‘I walk like this because I have SMA?’” She and Eddie “had the talk” with Mason just last fall, before he started school. She says she didn’t want her son to feel like he was different from the other children. “Some kids have peanut allergies, some wear glasses, some have one parent… for Mason, we told him, he’s special because he has SMA.” Mason attends North Elmsley Public School, and she drives him each day as she says her son is not allowed to ride the bus. “I just wanted him to be like the other kids… they wouldn’t allow him to ride
the bus because they were afraid of him falling, or not being able to jump from the bus if there was an accident.” Frustrated with the bus company, she says she decided to let it go instead of fighting it – opting to choose her battles. Besides, she says, she loves spending time with her boy, regardless of the time or place. They travel extensively together as a family, and Mason loves his plane rides. Jenna’s job at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (Great War Memorial site, Perth) as a secretary to one of the doctors on staff, has allowed her to come in an hour later to accommodate Mason’s school schedule. “They’ve been absolutely great about it,” she says of her employer. “They allow me to come in an hour later.” EVENT DAY With local events coordinator on her staff of volunteers and helpers, Hugh Colton jumped on board with this fundraiser when it first kicked off four years ago. Jenna’s father is Mike Webster, a friend and supporter of Colton’s. Webster has been with him on his Build a Mountain of Food quest since the beginning. Colton met with Jenna soon after. “This place is heaven. Everyone who
comes here wants to be part of this team,” he says. Community support for this event has been huge. They are well on their way to accumulating another $20,000 at this year’s event. This is going to be a “happy” event, says Jenna of the May 3 SMA fundraiser at the farm. “We’re going to have fun, we’re celebrating, we’re going to make lots of money for families of SMA,” she says. Come to 346 Buttermilk Hill Road and register for the 5km walk at 2 p.m. There will be lots of fun throughout the afternoon and into the evening, including mechanical bull rides, horseback rides, a pie eating contest, live and silent auctions, and a country style dinner prepared by Kurt ‘Spud’ Lowe. A barn dance with music featuring local entertainment acts including Wade Foster, Henry Norwood, Arlene Quinn, Andy and Ed Bowes, the Burnside Sisters and Rob Orr D.J. Service. There is still time to obtain a pledge sheet and you can do that by calling the Stewarts at 613-285-5152 or Amy Himmelman, at 613-284-6570.

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO - April 23, 1914
An agitation has been under way for some time to focus a motor boat association in Smiths Falls. For this purpose a meeting will be held in the town hall Saturday evening at 8 o’clock. Dr. Mellbenny, Commodore of the Ottawa Association, and several other members will come up to address the meeting and help start the organization here. There are a lot of motor boats in Smiths Falls and doubtless an association would be an excellent thing. 50 YEARS AGO - April 23, 1964
Move to rezone Coombs site is forestalled by councillors A move to have a portion of the Hannibal street property owned by J.W. Coombs, rezoned from industrial to commercial, so that a gas station could be erected was forestalled by Mayor Arnold Gough during Tuesday night’s meeting of Town Council. Councillor R.S. Sherwood, who brought in the by-law, was told by the Mayor that such a change would have to come in the form of a written resolution of the Planning Commission, subject to the approval of the change to the official plan by the Ontario Municipal Board. 25 YEARS AGO - April 19, 1989
Study offers blueprint for town Town council has been given a blueprint for the future in the form of a recently completed administrative review. Highlights of the report, prepared by the consulting firm of Peat Marwick, were presented by consultant Peter Snow at Monday’s regular council meeting. The review was begun in December at council’s request. One highlight of the report is a recommendation that three new standing committees of council be established in an effort to streamline operations. The three proposed committees would include a policy, planning and finance committee, an economic development committee, and an infrastructure renewal committee. 10 YEARS AGO - April 28, 2004
Public gets say into OPP costing With council split over the contentious issue, local residents will get a chance to voice their opinion whether or not Smiths Falls should seek out a costing proposal from the Ontario Provincial Police. At Monday’s committee of the whole meeting, it was decided a public meeting should be held Wednesday, May 26 at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 (7 Main St. E.) to hear directly from members of the community. It’s evident from Monday’s discussion, even considering taking this initial step doesn’t sit well with some councillors. “I am not interested in pursuing a costing,” councillor Jack Traynor said emphatically. From the residents he’s spoken to, it’s felt the community would be surrendering a quality service by shifting to the provincial force, adding Smiths Falls is well-served by its police service.

Too many pies and the crusts could crumble Opinion – It’s one of those recurring questions, just how much should a municipality spend on community groups out of taxpayer money? Different municipalities deal with it in a variety of ways. In Smiths Falls the current council made a decision to cap the amount of money available for grants at $80,000. Other municipalities cap the amount at say 50 cents or a $1 per taxpaying household, or whatever the council of the day deems reasonable. While many volunteer initiatives depend on municipal support, because that endorsement can open the door to other funding, the question arises just how much can any one group depend on the town to run its affairs. I guess I’m raising the question in light of the Hub’s community ask. The original ask for this year was $50,000. Same as last year. Now last year that $50,000 that was awarded the Hub was money that the town had in reserve and at the time, the understanding among councillors was that it was a one-time grant, designed to give the Hub a head start with what everyone agreed was a wonderful initiative – the re-opening of the pool at the former Rideau Regional Centre. This year, given that council had capped community grants at $80,000, it wasn’t likely they would be in a position to grant the Hub another $50,000. They didn’t. Instead, because council considered the Hub to be of vital importance to the community they granted the Hub $20,000 essentially one quarter of the entire funds available to all community groups in town. The next largest grant was to the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario, which received $12,000 total.
HOWAIDA SOROUR Heddy’s Ramble Unfortunately the Hub seems to have been relying rather heavily on community grants - not just from Smiths Falls but from surrounding municipalities as well. When they realized that some municipalities could not accommodate them at all and the ones that could would only be able to contribute a portion of their ask, they set about re-aligning their operations and they’ve made tremendous strides. Still, on Monday April 14 the Hub was back at council asking for more help. This time they hadn’t set a dollar figure and were simply asking council for whatever it could give. Sadly most people don’t follow what’s happening at Town Hall - but that’s a whole other conversation. Even sadder most people don’t even bother to look at the town budget from year to year - if they did, they might be more aware of just how stretched the town’s finances are. (Yes, I know that’s a whole other conversation as well!) Then again one clue was the tax increase that was announced this year - the first in more than a decade - and in an election year to boot. That lack of attention of course makes it difficult for most residents to understand why spending happens the way it happens. But I digress - so back
to the Hub. There is no doubt that the pool at the Gallipeau Centre is a wonderful and highly valued asset, but when the group who spearheaded the initiative embarked on the project they had to have prepared a business plan. My understanding is that they did, but didn’t want to share it for proprietary reasons (fair enough) and only members of council were able to review it under embargo. How did that business plan fall so far short of the operational costs for the pool? Or did it? Was the plan a multi-year plan or just a start-up plan? In interviews with members of the Hub, I’ve been told time and again, that it’s been a learning curve… that the operational expenses, such as water, heat and hydro far exceeded expectations. Yet the Hub is an extremely popular initiative, it has a tremendous amount of support in the community and beyond, so much so, that they’ve had to increase their programming to meet the demand. If it was a private business the fees would rise dramatically of course – but it isn’t. While I understand that it was a volunteer initiative and it was achieved through tremendous hard work, it may be time to either find someone in the community with the financial expertise willing to volunteer some consulting time, or hire a consultant – it’d be cheaper than ‘learning’ by trial and error. Otherwise I fear that the Hub will end up on the town’s books like the Station Theatre. While I do believe that the town is on the cusp of another economic surge, it’s never a good idea for a town to have its fingers in too many pies… the crusts tend to crumble.

Parents: How to make your kids as happy as Pharrell Williams desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Can a horse work better than Prozac? It may not be a substitute for any necessary medication, but Mary Lou Macfarlane-File, founder of Fawg Forest Therapeutic Farm in Mountain, feels that the horse can be a big part of a person’s road to wellness. “As soon as they (the patient), calms down, the horse calms down,” said Macfarlane-File, during a speech at The Stewart School in Perth on Wednesday, April 16. “A lot of young people will calm themselves down for the horse before they do it for themselves.” Macfarlane-File worked at the Royal Ottawa Hospital for about 28 years, but after nearly three decades in such an environment, “I wanted to do something different,” she said, in a “non-traditional environment.” Fawg Forest, a therapeutic farm that she describes as “a mental health clinic, on a farm, a counselling clinic on a 100-acre farm. It is out of an office, it is really fun, we can walk around,” she said during her talk, entitled: “Happiness and Mental Health: Health Essentials for Parents.” “For a long time, what I did was considered alternative therapy,” said Macfarlane-File. “Really, it is not. I just removed the office.” An award from the Canadian Mental Health Association, however, gave her the imprimatur of respectability of which she knew her farm was worthy. “You cannot be a horse trainer and just do therapy,” she cautioned. “It is a method. It is not a treatment.”
It is a means to an end. “We are not a riding facility, as such,” said Macfarlane-File. “(Though) I love teaching little kids to ride.” By taking therapy outside of a sterile, medical setting, she feels she is encouraging “pro-social relations,” relations which extend to animals, too. “We may go out and do chores, feed animals, but all the while, we are talking,” she said. One lesson that the patients learn right away is that, with animals, “the more you give, the more you receive.” Because there is still a bit of a stigma around mental illness, changing the venue also has another positive, intended consequence. “A lot of the time it is not, ‘Oh, I’m going to counselling,’” the patient will say. “It is ‘Oh, I am going to the farm!’” Failing young people Away from the farm, however, Macfarlane-File charged that society is failing its young people. “I think we have missed the boat on mental health,” she said. “We focus on the end results of mental health… If our youth are struggling and not feeling healthy, it affects (their) ability to function.” She added: “We need to talk about health and not illness.” While we may not be able to control our environments, parents can go a long way towards being good role models for their children. As Dr. Phil once said, children may not listen to everything their parents say, but they see everything they do. “When you are handling your stress
“I think we have missed the boat on mental health.” MARY LOU MACFARLANE-FILE FOUNDER, FAWG FOREST FARM GUEST SPEAKER
well, your children learn from that example,” Macfarlane-File said. “It is OK to struggle,” she added, but you need to demonstrate to your children that you can adapt and change and find solutions. “Are you being what you would like your children to be?” she asked. “Always start from a child’s perspective. How do they feel…We may think we are hiding our stress well, but our children feed off it.” Sometimes, your child may need more help than you can give him or her and outside help may need to be brought in, at the point where “what you are doing doesn’t seem to be working any more. That does not mean that you are a bad parent.” But there is also a difference in how mothers and fathers deal with the stresses of parenting. “Moms, we tend to feel guilty about everything,” said Macfarlane-File. “We have to let that go if we want to coach.” Both mothers and fathers though can also help more than hurt – even when they think they are helping. “We, as loving and protective parents, are too quick to jump in and intervene,” she said. “A lot of times, our kids do not want us to intervene… we need to stand back from our instinct to protect.”
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Wynne, Hudak, and Hillier have exactly the same energy policy DEAR EDITOR: Re: Hydro rate protest (Record News, April 10, 2014) I attended the hydro rate protest in Carleton Place and the concern about higher electricity prices is very understandable. However, the protesters did not realize that Kathleen Wynne and Tim Hudak have essentially the same energy policy and our hydro rates will be the same no matter who is in power since both the Liberals and the Conservatives will be relying on nuclear power to supply up to 60 per cent of Ontario’s electricity while solar and wind energy will only supply up to 10 per cent under the Liberals. Niagara Falls and other
hydro producers will supply the rest. The cost of nuclear energy has been going up while renewable energy is going down so that renewable energy is now cheaper than new or refurbished nuclear. It is true that when solar panels were first installed under the Green Energy Act they were expensive. However, because many countries, especially China and India, are installing solar panels on a large scale, the price of solar panels has dropped dramatically. Wind power is also expected to go down in price but wind producers in Ontario are only getting approximately 14 cents a kilowatt hour so it is
already reasonably priced. Since both major parties are committed to going with nuclear to provide the bulk of our electricity, energy prices will be going up no matter what Mr. Hudak or Mr. Hillier say. Mr. Hillier has shown in the past that he doesn’t always follow the party line. If he did a little research, he might find that he might be serving his rural constituents better by allowing them to have an income from solar panels and wind mills on their properties and the rest of us would benefit from lower energy prices. Wolfe Erlichman Godfrey
Correction In last week’s issue of The Record News, Ruby tague Public School about a cancer society fundGiff’s name was misspelled in a story from Mon- raiser. The Record News apologizes for the error.
Also, some things we take as being bad in parenting might actually be good signs – even if it does not seem like it at the time. Macfarlane-File pointed to research done by Nancy Darling at Pennsylvania State University, which found that teens who lied less to their parents, tended to argue more with their parents. “Arguing was a way of working out arguments, and telling truth to parents,” said Macfarlane-File. Teenagers are also more reactive. “If you have a teenage girl, you know about the drama.” Because of the instant nature of texting, for example, modern teens face even more opportunities than before for getting their emotions ratcheted up to a fever pitch. If a teen receives a nasty text message, “I (as a teen) send back an equally nasty text,” in retribution. “Because I haven’t stood back and thought about it, it usually means World War III.” She advocates letting teenagers run themselves dry. “Let them be extreme until empty,” said Macfarlane-File. Just say, “Wow,” or “Really,” periodically, to let them know you are still listening. “Very often, they will come up with their own answers. A lot of the time, they already know.” Parents often try to defuse the situation at the start: “We tell them because we want to cut out the drama and cut to the chase.” Another thing that parents can do is put down the iPhone in the evening. Even if answering that text message from your boss after dinner is going to save you having to take care of it tomorrow morning at the office, by doing that,

“I rob myself of my kid time.” That interaction time, “is lost in texting and emailing.” She advised creating electronic-free zones and times. Macfarlane-File provocatively pointed to the anti-bullying campaigns which have sprouted up in recent years at schools across the country like wildflowers. While they come from a good place, she fears that they are misguided. “We have anti-suicidal campaigns in school. We have anti-bullying campaigns in school,” she said. “I don’t think they work. If we built pro-social skills, we wouldn’t have bullying…I think that there is a place for anti-bullying,” but it does not address the cause, only the symptom. But she acknowledged that schools do need to be a part of the solution. Churches used to be repositories for morality and good behaviour to be imparted on Sunday morning. But now, “church attendance is at the lowest level it has ever been… Now, it has to be at the school.” Something that can prove helpful for all people who are contending with mental health problems, be they parents or children, are things as simple and universal as gratitude, charity, and peace. “Acts of kindness lift our spirits. Trusting others lifts our spirits,” she said. “If you are feeling really bad, go and do something for someone else.” As for mindfulness, “it is the ability to quiet the mind. You don’t think about the past, you don’t think about what is next, you are just in the moment. Just be mindful of the moment.”

St. Luke Catholic High School Grade 12 students, Shayla Commandeur and Amber Moreau won gold and two bursaries at the Culinary Skills Competition held at St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville for their cooking skills. The two friends have been enrolled in the Service and Retail focus program at St. Luke since Grade 10.
St. Luke wins gold at Culinary Skills Competition hsorour@perfprint
Community - First time out of the gate and they won gold and two bursaries. For the first time ever St. Luke Catholic High School fielded two students to the Culinary Skills Competition. Amber Moreau and Shayla Commandeur, both Grade 12 students, were the only two female competitors out of eight teams and they walked away with the top prize. “We made a potato, leak and ham soup, beef rolidin and chocolate mousse,” said Moreau. Competitors at this competition are judged on presentation, taste, sanitation, organization and teamwork. “One of the judges told me that one of the reasons we won was because we were respectful and nice to each other during the competition,” said Commandeur. They had never worked as partners in the kitchen, though they’ve been friends since Grade 7, and though both students had prepared, it was to different degrees. “I prepared for two weeks, but we only cooked the meal once before we went to competition,” said Moreau. Commandeur was pulled into the team at the last minute so she had a lot less preparation time. “I only had four days to prepare,” said Commandeur, “but I put in the effort. I was really nervous going into the competition, but I pushed through and
made it through and I’m really proud of myself.” Both students are glad they made the effort and had a chance to get to the competition, because they said the experience was well worth the effort. “It was amazing. It was very stressful because we had a tiny table to work on together, and I know I got bossy at one point but it was worth it,” said Moreau. Along with the gold medals, each of the students received a $500 bursary towards one of three courses at St. Lawrence College. They can choose between Hotel and Tourism management, Culinary Management and Restaurant Management. “I plan on going into hospitality and
taking the Culinary Management course. I’ve always dreamed of cooking, my whole entire life,” said Moreau. It’s not quite as easy a choice for Commandeur, who though interested in culinary art is not planning on pursuing that route after high school. “I’m probably going to take the restaurant management course with that bursary, because even though I want to work with animals, I might need to work in restaurants while I’m going to school,” she said.

News – Yet again, several residents came out to Carleton Place’s planning and protection committee meeting last Tuesday, April 15, for the latest discussion concerning the proposed Lanark Animal Pound (LAP) in Montague Township. In offering an update, Coun. Doug Black, the meeting’s chair, noted there wasn’t enough support from LAP working group members to construct a facility that would house both a municipal pound and a new Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) shelter. The LAP working group consists of Carleton Place, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills, Montague, Perth and Tay Valley, and Rideau Lakes has indicated an interest. At a March meeting of the working group, “concerns were raised by a number of municipalities about using tax dollars to support a non-municipal organization as well as ‘sole-sourcing’ the operation of the pound,” Les Reynolds explained in a written report to council. Reynolds is Carleton Place’s director of protective services and fire chief, as well as a member of the LAP working group. With the latest proposal off the table, “the consensus was to move forward with the original concept of building a municipal pound at the location in Montague and issuing a request for proposal (RFP) seeking an individual or organization (including LAWS) interested in operating it,” Reynolds indicated. At this time, the anticipated cost to construct a facility that would meet the needs of partners is $180,000. Carleton Place’s share would be $29,558. Furthermore, the annual operational costs are projected to be $56,900 with Carleton Place’s share being $11,350. “The final costs and our share of them will, of course, depend on the number of municipal partners, the contracted cost to construct the facility, and the response to the RFP for operation of the facility,” Reynolds noted. Municipalities have a legislative responsibility to provide a pound – a facility where animals are stored for a redemption period of five days, not including the day of pick up. After that, under the Animal Research Act, the legislation that governs the operation of pounds, the only options available are adopting the animal out, destroying it or selling it to a research facility. Carleton Place currently rents five pound spaces at LAWS, which is enough for two dogs and three cats. However, the agreement runs until the end of 2014. Delay All LAP working group partners received an email from Montague on Monday, April 14. “Montague confirmed its commitment to the (LAP) project, but stating with some gaps that need to be filled in and other significant issues they are facing, and due to staff workload, they probably aren’t prepared to start construction until sometime in 2015,” Reynolds said. A recommendation was introduced by Black and carried to direct staff to

continue to monitor the development for plans for the LAP, and the relationship with LAWS continue to be strengthened. Mayor Wendy LeBlanc noted a letter recently received from LAWS president Kathryn Hoyland indicated the shelter “would be willing to continue partnering with Carleton Place for pound service,” with a guarantee of uninterrupted services. “Kathy wrote ‘I am looking at num-

Students enjoy the rush of their knowledge and excel at Reach for the Top hsorour@perfprint.ca
News – It began as a national television quiz game for high school students back in the 1960s, and still continues, but by 1984 it was also being played at high schools around the country. Needless to say Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute has been challenging its students to play the general knowledge/ trivia game on and off for years. The school has two Reach for the Top teams currently competing at the regional level. “When the whole team is here, it’s really a rush – just to watch the knowledge these kids have,” said Paul Merredew, English teacher at SFDCI and Reach for the Top coach. There are six teams in each division, 12 teams in all. SFDCI’s junior team is in first place going into the regional finals and the senior team is in second place. The competition questions wan-
der around every conceivable subject. “The questions are about anything and everything, science, media, literature, geography, history, wars, anything you want, it’s all-encompassing,” said Zack Safioles, Grade 12 student and senior team member. Not only is the knowledge these youth display quite impressive, but their enjoyment of the competition is clear. “It’s nice to use your knowledge to do something,” said Calvin Safioles, Grade 10 student and junior team member. “You get a rush from it,” said Monica Guerin, Grade 12 student. The game is won on points, and participants have to buzz in when they hear a question they think they can answer. “They have three seconds to answer after they buzz in, or they forfeit their turn and it goes to the other team,” explained Merredew. According to the teacher, the teams are made up of players with a broad
base of knowledge that doesn’t go very deeply into any one subject as well as individuals with deep knowledge about one or two subjects. Each game is made up of three rounds, with roughly 50 questions per round and each round meanders through different categories. Some of the questions are specialized. For example one set of question may ask participants to name the hockey player, and the clues are a team, a jersey number and a year. “Some of the question require one student to buzz in, but there are also team questions where one member buzzes in and they can confer to answer the question,” said Merredew.
So how do they prepare for these competitions? Well that’s easy, these are basically kids who retain odd bits and bobs of information to begin with, so they hone their skills by playing the game after school with one or their two coaches, Merredew and Jeremy Craig. Their coaches also give them quiz packs to study. “Every September we get a stack of questions from the organization Reach
for the Top, Ontario, but taking it a step further most of these guys have made their own packs based on their area of expertise,” said Merredew. While not all the kids signed up on their own – some were ‘voluntold’. Once they got involved they discovered the joys of competition and teamwork. “It’s like a sport team,” said Safioles. “You get committed to it and each player has a role to play.”

19-year-old air Gunner George Hopkins’ aircraft downed Sept. 7, 1943 By JOSH VINCENT Edited by Blake Cameron
News – The following is part of a series of research papers completed by Grade 10 History students at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute as part of the Lest We Forget program. The features focus on residents of Smiths Falls who made the supreme sacrifice for their country during World War II. George William James Hopkins, Air Gunner February 24th, 1924September 7th, 1943 George William James Hopkins was a 19-year-old soldier who died while overseas fighting in the Second World War. He was born on February 24th, 1924 in Smiths Falls, Ontario to his mother Flossie Elizabeth Hopkins and his father William David Hopkins. George had one brother named Fredrick David Hopkins and one sister named Dorothy Elizabeth Hopkins. He also had three half-sisters: Luella Maud Hopkins, Myrtle Irene Hopkins, and (Mrs.) Daisy Adams. He was married to his wife named Lillian Mary Hopkins (remarried to Mrs. Topping) in April 5th, 1943. He had no children. George completed elementary school at Aberdeen Elementary School in 1940. He dropped out of school after he completed elementary school. In 1940, George worked at
Frost & Wood Company in Smiths Falls as a machine worker, but left in 1941 due to inefficient pay. During 1941, George started his own business as a painter remaining in this business until the time of enlistment in 1942. His hair was brown in colour and he had blue eyes. He lived with his parents at 39 Lombard Street, Smiths Falls. His religion was Methodist. George signed up for the Royal Canadian Air Force on July 29th, 1942 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He went into the Royal Canadian Air Force as an Air Gunner graduating on 3 April 1943. He married two days after graduating from this course. Hopkins left for England on 11 May 1943 never to return home. The records provide little details concerning his training or information about crew members In George’s Certificate of Medical Examination, it is seen that he had no diseases listed on the form. George was 5 feet 8 inches and weighed 115 pounds. His eyesight and hearing were perfect. His complexion was fair and his development was fair. Within George’s Interview Report, his Medical Officer described George as: “Underweight should improve in training, had difficulty with efficiency test - not impressive material.” His interview officer described him as: “This lad is
young and not at all impressive. I feel he is much below average material. He claims to be a good shot and interested in gunnery… Recommended for Aircrew A.G.” On his classification test score, he got 27 out of 80. The events around his death provide little detail. During the night of September 7th, 1943, Sergeant Hopkins was on an air mission and was supposed to
respond to the air base every 15 minutes. At 4:10 a.m. the next morning, the radio tower lost communication with the airplane. Despite efforts to establish radio communication every 15 minutes the crew did not respond. The next day, George’s body washed up on shore. The official report of events is broken down in a timeline written in the investigation report. “8:50 pm: took off. 8:54: airborne signal and setting course signal. 2:00 am: Aircraft called on base frequency and subsequently every 15 minutes until 4:30 am. 4:10 am: Official overdue actions taken after 9, 10 and 13 groups had been contacted without result. 7:15 am: 92 Group broadcast to all stations details of missing airplane.” It wasn’t until the night of September 8th, 1943 until they begin to recover bodies. After George Hopkins’ death, his medals were designated to be given to his wife, Mrs. Lillian Hopkins. Lillian was given George’s Defence Medal (awarded between September 3rd, 1939, to May 8th, 1945 for six months of service in Great Britain), War Medal (awarded if a soldier worked full time for 28 days in the armed forces and merchant marines from 1939 to 1945), and his Canadian Volunteer Service Medal with clasp (awarded to any soldier that

George William James Hopkins is buried at the Bath (Haycombe) Cemetery in Somerset, United Kingdom. An interesting connection to this story exists and will be confirmed through more research. In 1999, the missing Wellington bomber aircraft that crashed

with Hopkins and the rest of the crew was found by a fisherman by the name of Bobby Cairns who discovered the wreckage. The crash site, near Skomer Island is a scuba diving site. “THE BODY LIETH, UNDER THE GROUND, THE SOUL IN HEAVEN.”

Welcome Matte Bakery opens on Beckwith Street with a lot less sugar, salt By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
Business - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been quite a few years since there was a fresh bakery in town, so the newly opened Welcome Matte Bakery is a delightful addition to Beckwith Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is scratch made, no pre-made mixes. (There is) low salt and low sugar,â&#x20AC;? says Tina Matte, owner. Her goal with every recipe she uses is to remove a minimum of half a cup of sugar and since she uses salted butter sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not adding salt either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both my parents are diabetic, and my mom can eat 75 per cent of my baked goods,â&#x20AC;? says the Smiths Falls native. The idea for the Welcome Matte Bakery came out of the business program at Willis College where Matte was enrolled in business administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As part of the course I had to create a business plan, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the idea for a cookie bakery started,â&#x20AC;? she said. A love of baking made the idea a perfect fit for the young MĂŠtis
mother of two. The business has been made possible through the Ontario Self Employment Program, which gives her a living allowance and the opportunity to build a solid business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being native also helped because it gave me access to more funding and workshops to hone my skills,â&#x20AC;? said Matte. A slow start and careful attention to her early customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; preferences have since convinced Matte that she needed to add a few items to her sweet selections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was open over Christmas and asked people what they wanted in a bakery and the most common response was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;breads and buns.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I just wanted to make cookies and squares,â&#x20AC;? she says with a laugh. Officially open as of Easter weekend, Matte is offering fresh baked breads, buns and flavoured breads along with tarts, cookies and squares. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a demand for tarts than pies, but pies I can do, just on demand,â&#x20AC;? said Matte. She does take orders for party trays, cookies and squares and
flavoured breads like banana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orders can be ready the next day or in the case of bread that afternoon,â&#x20AC;? said Matte. She plans to add gluten-free products soon, because the demand seems quite high, she says. First she has to set up a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;clean areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; where she can make the gluten-free products without â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;contaminationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The only item she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do is cake. She says cakes are too time-consuming for a mostly one-person bakery. She does have occasional help. If she gets stuck with a large event or order sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to call on her dad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned to bake from my mother,â&#x20AC;? says Milford Green, as he measures flour into a bowl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother was Sioux Indian, so I learned from the best.â&#x20AC;? Quietly busy, Green says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retired now and since it only takes him 15 minutes to get through his chores at home he says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite happy to help out. Father and daughter say they derive a lot of pleasure from the act of creating and making people happy with tasty treats.
Slowly building up her business, Tina Matte is thrilled to be opening her own bakery on Beckwith Street. Photo by HOWAIDA SOROUR

Artist Tasha Thorpe with two of her Steampunk sculptures at the Spencerville ArtScene Gallery. She was asked to be the guest artist at the gallery for its grand opening and to display her work in the window for a month before the event.
hsorour@perfprint.ca
Events – Side-Table Beacons and Lamplighter Exploratory Illuminators are not easy to find, but they or similar imaginary items will be available May 10 and 11 at the Kinsmen Community Pavilion and the Hidden Treasures show and sale. Those intriguing items come out of the relatively new Steampunk movement, a delightfully creative, elegant re-imagining of technology a la Jules Verne. Born out of science fiction literature the movement is taking the art world by storm and has been consuming Tasha Thorpe, local artist for the past four years. “I was hypnotized, entranced and intrigued when I discovered Steampunk - it was kismet - and it all fell into place,” said Thorpe, who is being invited into galleries and art shows all over the area because her pieces are so unique and interesting. With few rules, the genre appealed to Thorpe because it also incorporated her interest in collecting old things. A magpie at heart, Thorpe had been collecting old books, watches, wallets and ‘antique broken things’ since she was a child. As she grew up, she started to learn more about the things she was collecting and realized that the elaborate innards of watches that had so fascinated her as a child were rarely seen by the people who wore them. “I thought there’s got to be a way to share all that with people,” said Thorpe. So when her sister gifted her with a Steampunk pendant she unwittingly opened a door to a whole new and exciting world for Thorpe. Acutely aware of the literary origins of the genre, Thorpe has also found that it speaks to the storyteller in her. “Most sculptures have stories with them. So when you buy a piece you get the story of its ‘provenance’, how it was used and why it was made,” said Thorpe, with a little mischief in her voice. Using genuine antiques, Thorpe also provides information about each piece of antiquity incorporated in her creations. Thorpe’s pieces range
from freestanding sculptures, to wall hangings to jewelry. There is technology, humour and a strong sense of form and ‘function’ at its core. “My art looks very different from a lot of Steampunk because I choose to lean more towards the exploratory, more gadgetry, and more romantic side, rooted in Victorian England, rather than weaponry and militaristic themes - think Robert Downey Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes,” said Thorpe. While it may be the most striking new addition to the Hidden Treasures show, it isn’t the only new addition. In a show that features 21 artists, another new addition is enhanced photography by Tracy Schruder. “It’s abstract photography. I use the elements of life, fire, water and ice to create abstract images,” explains Schruder. Working in colour with vector layers, Schruder is able to digitally add and subtract photographic layers to one another to create unique images. Though already exhibiting in a gallery and equipped with a website, this is Schruder’s first show with this group of artists. “After meeting with Don (Crowder) and feeling the culture of the group and meeting the other artists I thought it would be a good opportunity to get more exposure,” said Schruder. Many familiar names will also be back including Kathy Lavender, Crowder, Pam Hills, Jackie Coldrey and Jane Conley, among others. “This year there are more potters at the show and that’s good because it creates a bit of competition,” said Conley the original potter in the group. A functional potter, this is Conley’s second year exhibiting with the group and this spring she’ll be introducing some new glazes on her original rustic and infinitely usable pottery. “You can use my pottery every day because in today’s economy most people aren’t into decorative pottery, but most can afford to buy or give a mug, a bowl or casserole dish,” said Conley. The show will be open on both the Saturday and the Sunday on Mother’s Day weekend, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.

‘All aboard’ for a ride during next weekend’s home, living show By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
Community - Diesel locomotive 6591, a venerable engine dating back to 1953 is being dusted off, and prepped to pull the caboose ferrying people from the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre to the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario on May 3 and 4 during the Home and Living Show. “This engine spent most of its life in the Ottawa, Smiths Falls area, so it’s quite familiar to most Smiths Falls railroaders,” said Tony Humphrey, retired locomotive engineer, and president of RMEO board. According to Humphrey, Canadian National had started experimenting with diesel engines as early as the 1920s because steam engines were expensive to maintain. “A steam engine had to be serviced after every trip and took two crew members to run,” said Humphrey. Steam while romantic was also slower and less powerful at low speeds. “It would take two hours for a steam engine’s fire box to create enough heat to make steam to power the train, whereas a diesel engine you just turned on the ignition and it was good to go,” explained Leah McRoberts, program and outreach coordinator at RMEO. Still in the early days the railroaders who worked the engines didn’t, particularly welcome the change from steam to diesel. “We didn’t necessarily fall in love with the change, it was more fun to work on the steam engines because you felt you were accomplishing something,” said Hugh Cubitt who began his railroading career in 1948 as a fireman on steam engines. As Cubitt remembers it, the early diesels were not as powerful as a steam engine at full power. “The first diesels were only 1,500 horsepow-
er not like the 4,000 horsepower steam engine, on a straight stretch the steam engine could do 90 miles/hr and two diesels could only get up to 89 miles per hour,” he said. Still diesel was coming welcome or not. It was more efficient, cheaper and eventually faster. “The technological changes that happened during the Second World War were phenomenal and one of those was very good diesel engines like the Fairbank Morris diesel electric units that had been used to power submarines,” said Humphrey. The financial saving of running diesel instead of steam for the railways were of course significant enough that after the war it was a race to make the change. Rail companies were able to do away with water stations, maintenance bays, round houses and freight sheds and of course workers. “By 1960 diesel had completely taken over from steam, the process had begun by the mid 1950s and was pretty much complete by 1960,” said Humphrey. However the early diesel engines bear as much resemblance to today’s diesel engines as the Model T4 has to a Ferrari 599. The diesel engine that’s currently being thawed out at the RMEO, after a long winter is one of the early generation of diesels, built in 1953 by the Montreal Locomotive Works. It’ll be ready to pull a caboose from the community centre to the railway museum during both days of the Home and Living show for just $5 round trip. At the museum the public will be treated to a sneak peak at the Dental Car exhibit which opens later this year and can get a behind the scenes tour of the RMEO; while children’s will be treated to a variety of fun train themed activities as well. Tours will run every hour on the hour starting at 10:30 a.m. on both days.

The Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears wrapped up their CCHL season in style Sunday afternoon in front of a capacity crowd of 1,100 fans in Carleton Place. They sent the Canadians into an overtime frenzy as the home team basked in the glory of a 2-1 win to earn the Bogart Cup in five games. Vinny Post gave the Canadians the win just six minutes into the extra period. He was assisted by Tyson Stewart and Larry Smith at the 6:50 mark. Neil Doef had given the Bears their only goal, which came midway through the second period, assisted by Alek Deblois and Brett Costello. It wasn’t until the 16:55 mark of the third period that Carleton Place was able to tie the hard-fought contest. Kelly Summers beat Bears goalie Michael Pinios with just over three minutes left in regulation, assisted by Andy Sturtz and Tyson Stewart to tie it 1-1. Winning netminder, Guillaume Therien was named the game’s third star with 25 saves. Pinios, who stood on his head in the crease for the Bears, earned the game’s second star, turning away 35 of 37 shots. Post was the game’s first start thanks to his winning goal. “What a feeling,” said Canadians coach Jason Clarke. “It is just so unbelievable to be able to share this (victory) with all of our fans, supporters and sponsors – a very special moment. This was so hard to do. We worked so hard (in the series).” Clarke was fast to credit Smiths Falls, and especially goaltender Pinios, for their efforts. “They were very good. He (Pinios) was excellent. I wondered if we were ever going to score on him,” Clark said. “How fitting that our top forward (Sturtz) and our top defenceman (Summers) were involved in the tying goal.” Walt Dubas, assistant coach for the Bears, gave credit where it was due. “Carleton Place is an outstanding team and they deserve the championship,” Dubas said. “They will do well at the Fred Page.” Dubas added that he was “very proud of our team… the kids played hard. We were three minutes away from a game six.” FRED PAGE CUP Carleton Place will represent the CCHL next week as they travel to St. Jerome, Que., for the Fred Page Cup.

The Carleton Place Canadians needed overtime to tame the Smiths Falls Bears Sunday afternoon to win the Bogart Cup in front of a partisan crowd in Carleton Place. Here Bears shake hands with the CCHL cup winners after the game Sunday. the Bears brought it home and turned it up a notch on Friday in front 1,787 fans, the largest crowd the Memorial Community Centre has seen since it opened its doors. Smiths Falls pounced on the Canadians with two quick goals in the first period and they never looked back, earning the 5-2 win. Michael Buonincontri set the pace in the Friday night win with a hat trick. In an interview following the game, Buonincontri said he owed the credit to his linemate Zac Senyshyn. Buonincontri said he’d never played with a winger with Senyshyn’s speed before and it was great to be able to get some points on the board. Buonincontri had five points in this series, including two goals in Game 3 with Senyshyn taking credit on the assists. Rookie hometown Bear, Doef had two key goals in the series, including the team’s only goal of the deciding game to open the scoring midway through the second period on Sunday. He also scored the first goal of Game 4.
shooter, Sturtz who was hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct. Smiths Falls saw the sin bin for 28 minutes on 10 minors. GAME 3 The night before in Carleton Place (Thursday, April 17) Smiths Falls held a 2-0 lead with Buonincontri getting credit for both markers. Senyshyn had two assist credits with MacMillan and Beaulac adding single helpers. Stephen Baylis, who led the Canadians in scoring this post season, scored unassisted, with 19:22 gone in the first as the Bears held the 2-1 lead at the first period break. Craig Pefley tied the rally in the second with his goal at 6:55, assisted by Owen Stewart and Luke Edwards. It wasn’t until 16:28 of the third that Carleton Place was able to take this win, as Peterson scored the winner with help from Sturtz and Baylis. GREAT SEASON It was nothing short of an amazing season for the Bears, a team that was practically rebuilt from the ground up after losing 14 players last season. “We made some goals at the beginning of the season and the first was to make the playoffs,” Dubas said. The team also tied its franchise record of games won during the season with 41. “We were one point shy of our most road wins and most points on the season,” he said. Dubas gives full credit to Hugh Craig, the team’s GM and to the staff for building the team this season. “We had a fantastic group of guys,” he said of the players. “They were great to work with and most of the credit would have to go to the players.” Dubas said one of his favourite moments of this season was during their playoff run and seeing the number of fans in the stands. “Being able to stand on the bench and see 1,700 people in the crowd… it was fantastic to see those crowds in the rink and live in Smiths Falls. It was a lot of fun to hear people talking about the Bears and anticipating games,” Dubas said. “To see every seat filled…that was a positive.”
GAME 4 Doef and Buonincontri gave Smiths Falls the early lead in Game 4 in the Bears Den with their first-period goals. Doef scored on the power play, assisted by Victor Beaulac and Brandon McMartin just 6:24 into the game. Buonincontri scored his first of three, assisted by Chris MacMillan at the 8:26 mark of the first. Carleton Place got on the board when Andy Sturtz scored from Summers and Larry Smith with 9:21 gone as the Bears held the 2-1 lead at the break. Sturtz tied the rally at 9:22 of the second period when he scored from Stephen Baylis and Evan Peterson, but Buonincontri gave the Bears the lead again with his second at 11:50. Senyshyn and MacMillan assisted on the marker that put Smiths Falls up 3-2, which turned out to be the winner. Heading into the third period, with just 17 seconds gone, Stefano Momesso scored the insurance marker for the Bears with help from Chris King. Buonincontri sealed his trick a little over a minute later at 1:32, assisted by MacMillan and Ryan Duhaime. This game was a chippy affair, sendMINOR REBUILD ing Carleton Place players to the penalty The Bears won’t have as many skates box for 42 minutes in penalties on nine infractions, including the team’s big to fill at the start of next season, but

there will be some big holes to fill just the same. They are losing over-agers Brett Costello, Brandon McMartin, Victor Beaulac and Stefano Momesso. Derian Plouffe is off to Niagara University in the fall, Ben Beasley is heading to Canton College and Zac Senyshyn is off to play in the OHL with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. Taylor Henry, Brandon Lesway and Kris King have the option to return to lead the pack next season, as will goalies Pinios and Cory Simic. Doef is also another name that may reappear on the roster next year. Will they go without a captain again next year? It seemed to work this year, as they had a team of leaders, according to Dubas. “We didn’t find not having a captain or assistant captains as a deterrent,” said Dubas. “We had strong leadership on and off ice; there was a lot of depth this year, and more depth as a team than any individual stars.” As for an MVP this year, Dubas had no trouble naming their number one goalie, Pinios. “Michael was especially good,” he said. “I would think he was our MVP, he was consistent with a high level of
play.” Both Pinios and Simic played well as the tandem netminders during the season, Dubas said. “They both played well and we think the world of Michael… he was our goalie for most of the year; he allowed us to get our feet on the ground when we weren’t so sure in the early parts of the season. Then we acquired Simic to help him and give him a break; Pinios was a total supporter of Simic… was his biggest cheerleader, and when he got his chance he played a key role.” Both goalies will be eligible next year as overage players. The team can carry six 20-year-olds. TRAINING CAMP Training camp will open in mid-August, but before all that happens, there is not much rest for the coaching staff. The Central League has prospect camp this weekend in Ottawa, and next Friday and Saturday May 2-3 is the Bears’ prospect camp at the youth arena. On Monday, April 28 the CCHL draft will take place at the Earl Armstrong Arena at 6 p.m. With files from Jeff Maguire

Peter Cunniffe, Bob Van Noppen, Paul Miller, Robin Kennie, Paul Turner, Mike Horsey as they laced up for the Docs on Ice tournament in Newmarket recently, helping raise money for the Canadian Mental Health Association.
Sons of Lanarky raise funds for mental health during weekend hockey tourney Sports - Charity, camaraderie and sportsmanship are the three principles of Ontario’s largest annual physicians’ ice hockey tournament where a local contingent took part in the action. The Sons of Lanarky, a team of local physicians from the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, made the trip to the York region for this event. In their first year as a new entry team, the Sons of Lanarky hockey club competed as an undefeated team in Division ‘I’. An over abundance of enthusiasm by local Lanark County doctors accounted for the birth of the team from its parent team Lanark Eh’s, which only last a year and also went undefeated to win their division. Docs on Ice is hosted by a different city each year to raise funds for a local charity in the host community. Participating local MD’s included Drs. Robin Kennie, Paul Turner, Peter Cunniffe, Paul Miller, Anil Kuchinad, Greg Walsh, Alain Gauthier and Bob van Noppen from Perth, Drs. Mike Horsey and Graeme Hendry of Smiths Falls, and Dr. Bill Blaine of Almonte. Sons of Lanarky went 4-0, out scoring their opposition 18-6.
Kuchinad was unanimously voted rookie of the year. The team is actively recruiting a defenceman to join their stellar roster. The 2015 host city will be London, Ontario. More than $1 million has been raised since its inception in 1983. Now, in its 32nd year, Docs on Ice took place in Newmarket this year, with 900 doctors, special guests including NHL players and alumni, media personnel, and television personalities in attendance. All proceeds go directly to this year’s charitable recipient, the Canadian Mental Health Association serving York Region and South Simcoe.

Mental health problems, mental illness and suicide continue to impact and devastate the lives of youth, their families, friends and neighbours. Stigma, fear and a lack of information and access continue to be barriers from youth reaching out and receiving support. That is why Ontario’s doctors are taking a leadership role in helping to raise funds for a mobile mental health unit to reach kids where they are at both physically and emotionally.

Dan Hill to appear at Gallipeau Centre Theatre this Saturday Arts – He is one of this country’s most successful singer/songwriters, his career spans over 40 years and he is an incredible concert performer to boot. He is Dan Hill and he is coming to Smiths Falls. Mark Saturday April 26 on your calendar because that evening Dan Hill will take to the stage at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre for a “one night only” performance that will begin at 7 p.m. Best known for his multi-million selling composition ‘Sometimes When We Touch’, Hill has hit the charts with several other hits including: ‘You Make Me Want To Be’ and ‘Don’t Take Your Love Away (duet with Amy Sky), the ‘70s inspirational anthem ‘Hold On’ plus many more. Hill sold millions of copies of ‘Sometimes When We Touch’ when it was first released in 1978 and millions more have been sold by the many other artists who have recorded versions of this timeless ballad throughout the years. Or, as in the words of Murray McLauchlan: “This song has paved my
driveway.” Hill’s life was not always an easy one to live. His father was a demanding and successful man plus being the child of a mixed marriage (a black father and a white mother) made things even more challenging. He recently documented some of these challenges in a poignant yet often hilarious autobiography entitled: ‘I Am My Father’s Son.’ On stage Hill is laid back, personable and mesmerizing. His soft touch on both the guitar and piano is soothing which matches his silk voice. But you won’t be lulled to sleep for he also possesses a lot of energy and will move you in many ways. In short a real treat and a real catch (entertainment-wise) for the Town of Smiths Falls and all of Eastern Ontario. Tickets are just $29.50 and can be obtained by calling the local box office at the Gallipeau Theatre: 613-284-9916 or through: ticketpro.ca or check out the Gallipeau centre Theatre’s website at: gallipeautheatre.com.

OMYA takes clean water seriously News - Just in time for Earth Day (April 22), Omya Canada Inc., located in Tay Valley Township, has made another massive commitment to conservation in the Tay watershed. Following Omya’s huge gift to the Rural Clean Water Program last month, the company is now planting 80,000 new, vigorous young trees on about 100 acres of company land around its landmark blue and white manufacturing facility on the south side of Highway 7 west of Perth. These 100 acres of new trees, tentatively called the OMYA WOODS, are also partly located in the Intake Protection Zone for the Town of Perth’s municipal water supply. The types of trees planted will be similar to the forest composition of the Tay Valley in general with lots of white pine, white cedar, red oak, bur
oak, sugar maple, white spruce and tamarack. Seventy thousand trees are to be planted this spring with the remaining 10,000 to be planted in the spring of 2015. Conservation authority chair and Smiths Falls councillor Ken Graham called this project “… another example of OMYA Canada providing its hallmark corporate leadership in protecting the quality rural lifestyle and landscape that everyone so enjoys.” OMYA Canada Inc. makes quality dry ground calcium carbonate products used by the paint, plastics and building products industry. OMYA’s Tay Valley plant on Rudsdale Creek (tributary to the Tay River) is one of two plants in Canada. Submitted by the RVCA

Land trust conservancy finalizes agreement for Keddy Nature Sanctuary Community – In late January, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC) finalized its newest conservation easement agreement with Paul and Cathy Keddy on their beautiful 530-acre property located in the northeastern corner of Drummond-North Elmsley Township. The Keddys, both professional ecologists, first discovered this spectacular property back in the ‘70s, long before the area was designated a Provincially Significant Wetland Complex. Here follows Cathy’s account about their decision to legally protect their property forever. “One of the first decisions we made when preparing for marriage back in 1976, when we were still students at Dalhousie University in Halifax, was to buy our first 100 acres of forest in Lanark County. Many thought we were foolish. But we had walked that property and seen 30 pairs of Great Blue Herons nesting in a wetland. How better to celebrate a marriage than to protect these magnificent creatures. Over the years we camped and eventually built a small cabin where we spent many happy weekends. As we got to know the property better, we found a stream that flowed to the east, and a patch of wild orchids in a seepage area. We owned neither. But over time, these properties came on the market, and we added them to our debt load. Twice we could buy a property only after it had been logged. This was painful, but we knew that whatever the short term damage, the trees would eventually regrow and wildlife habitat would recover. The last property was the toughest, and we were able to buy it only after the landowner had quite deliberately increased the price and sold the logging rights, just to be spiteful. The skidders were already felling huge beech trees as we signed the mortgage papers. Paul’s parents very generously contributed $20,000 so we could buy out the logging company before it felled the 30

At this point we were the proud owners of a square mile. Now there is a commitment. Not only were we responsible for protecting the forest, and for making our monthly payments, but at home we had two growing children, while on the land we had populations of salamanders and frogs and warblers and
turkey vultures. What a family! When Paul became ill in the early ‘90s, finances were stretched to the limit. Eventually, our family moved to Louisiana for eight years where Paul earned enough money to pay off the accumulated debts. Now it was all ours! But there would be little point in protecting 120-year-old oaks or populations of wild orchids if the next
owner would simply log them or create estate lots. We were determined to pass it on intact. The Nature Conservancy of Canada was interested, but by the time we returned from Louisiana there was a new local land conservancy on the scene, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust. We were delighted that they agreed to become partners, and take over from us in the

long run. And 999 years, renewable, is indeed a long-term arrangement! Each of us will die. We know that when that happens to us, all the wild creatures we have known over the past 50 years will be safe from developers and loggers. They will carry on their lives without us. The 120-year-old oaks and hemlocks will live several more centuries, and then, when they die, become homes for owls and hawks and tree frogs. Yes, we could have sold the land, and burned through the money on expensive cars and luxury cruises. But, we would have been no happier. And, as they say, you can’t take it with you. What about our sons and the issue of inheritance? The boys are thrilled that a property with so many happy memories will stay just the way they remember it. Moreover, the easement agreement we signed leaves each of them the option to someday live on the edge of the property and enjoy it with their own families. And the salamanders and frogs and warblers and turtles and all the rest of the innumerable inhabitants, while they may not speak our language or understand land trusts, will be left alone to carry on their lives in relative peace. We cannot think of a more satisfying conclusion to our lifetime project.” The MMLTC is delighted with the choice the Keddys made and knows it will have untold benefits for generations to come. Paul and Cathy have already compiled an initial inventory of species on their property, including several species at risk. To add to this list, the Lanark County Stewardship Council will be hosting a 24-hour Bioblitz at the Keddy Nature Sanctuary on Friday, June 6 to Saturday, June 7. Species experts from area naturalist clubs will be invited to assist with this event. Watch for more information coming soon on the MMLTC website at www.mmltc.ca.

It also had power steering and power brakes. “I fell in love with the car and I promised him I would keep it in my newly constructed double garage and only drive it for occasional pleasure use. Maurice was willing to sell it to me but his wife was not. I telephoned them several times over the next three years but she would not give her consent. “Finally, in the summer of 1976, I asked if I could come over and talk to them about the car. I offered them $1,000 more than what the car was worth and she said it would have to be cash. I hustled to the bank, brought a handful of hundred dollar bills back to their house, and laid them out across the kitchen table. She counted the money several times, looked at Maurice, and told him to sell me the car! “I owned that car for thirty-one

Lifestyle – Ken Tuffnail lives just outside Stratford, Ontario: “Hi Bill: In 1973 I was looking for an old second car in good shape for my wife to drive back and forth to town. I asked my father if he knew of any. He mentioned his neighbour up the street, Maurice H., who had an old car in his garage. “One Saturday in the summer of 1973, I approached Maurice, who remembered me as a kid, and I asked about his car. I told him I was looking for an older car for my wife, and although he was willing to sell it to me, he would not sell it to me as just an everyday vehicle. “He asked if I would like to see the car. He opened the garage door and staring at me was the rear end of a huge red car. I said to him: ‘What is it?’ He said it is a 1955 CHRYSLER WINDSOR DELUXE NEWPORT SPECIAL CLUB COUPE. The car was in pristine original condition inside and out with 41,000 miles. For that year, it had a new body, new 301 Spitfire 188 HP engine, and completely new styling.

Passionate dance promoter provides lessons at Swing into Spring Arts – To hear Tania Munro speak about the art of dance is to seriously believe that anyone –regardless of lack of rhythm, or the annoying problem of having two left feet – can learn to happily twirl about the dance floor when the music begins. It’s a passion that will be on display Saturday, May 3 at 7 p.m. sharp at the Perth Civitan Club when Munro offers free dance lessons in advance of that evening’s big band extravaganza with the renowned Standing Room Only Big Band. Munro – who this year marks ten years for her Carleton Place-based Tania’s Dance Studio, recently renamed Tania and Rick’s Dance Studio – has loved the art of movement since she was a little girl in El Salvador, where Latin and salsa rhythms were everywhere. Her family came to Canada in 1988, where she began taking dance lessons in Ottawa and eventually ended up teaching
there as well. She subsequently moved out to Lanark County, operating out of her home before eventually taking over the old LCBO building at 55 Lansdowne Avenue in Carleton Place, where they have been for three years. Munro says her students range in age from eight to 76, and vary from individuals wanting to make sure their dancing feet are ready for a wedding day, to those looking for fun ways to stay active without necessarily having to go to a gym. “There’s a real social aspect to it, and lots of couples meet each other at the studio and become friends, going out together and attending different dance events in the area,” she says. “It’s really rewarding to do this work because many people come in to try something new and different and as they learn, you can see their self-esteem go up, and they carry themselves with

more pride and confidence,” she says. “It’s also very humbling for me because I get to meet so many great people and hear their stories when we are doing the dance lessons. We get to be able to say that our work is part of what makes people’s lives better and happier, and who can ask for more than that?” When she first moved to Carleton Place, Munro says she sometimes ran into an attitude that frowned on dance as inappropriate for the stereotypical “manly men,” yet as word about her work got around, she saw, bit by bit, men who fit that profile begin showing up. “They learned that dancing was not just for women and that men who can dance are quite popular with the ladies!” Munro laughs. “Sometimes you see a fiancé or wife bringing their husbands in kicking and screaming, but before they know it, they are having fun.” Munro is looking forward to the May
3 Swing into Spring event. “Standing Room Only always creates such a buzz when they perform,” she says. “You could always have a DJ or a CD of swing music, but it is very different when the musicians are there playing their instruments and they connect with the dancers. It’s like their energy feeds off each other and builds throughout the night.” Although Munro has no specific plans for a 2014 10th anniversary party as yet, Tania and Rick’s Dance Studio is holding a grand opening to celebrate the new partnership with Rick Ruggles on Saturday, May 24. Doors for Swing into Spring will open at 6:30 p.m., with the free dance lesson at 7 p.m. and big band swing music until 11 p.m. It’s all part of the official kickoff to the Classic Theatre Festival’s fifth anniversary season. Tickets to Swing into Spring are available by calling 613485-6434 or online at classictheatre.ca.

Honda ready to compete with other players in minivan field with Odyssey Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough job, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2014 Honda Odyssey I enjoyed for this review came from the Honda Canada press fleet. For the first time since I started writing these reviews, a car manufacturer actually supplied a demonstrator that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a fully loaded model. As minivan buyers are a pretty priceminded group, Honda supplied the SE level trim version (one up from the entry level) of their Odyssey to demonstrate that they can compete on price point as well as a number of other important areas in this segment. The Odyssey starts at $31,819 for the LX level and takes the price tour up to $46,879 for a well-trimmed Touring model. My eight passenger SE came in at $30,874; yes actually cheaper than the base LX level, proving Honda is ready to compete with the other players in this field. All prices are before destina-

tion fees, dealer prep, taxes, or current incentives. Like all Odysseys, my SE tester came with a 3.5 L V6 (putting out 248 hp) mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. This power-train combo has a long and successful history with Honda and moves the 2,000 kg transport with ease. It comes with everything youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect plus dual-zone HVAC, second row power windows, remote entry, seven-speaker audio with Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity with text messaging, rearview camera, fold-in-floor third row seating, and eight passenger capacity just to hit the highlights. Unlike most minivans, the Odyssey provides serious storage (846 L) behind the third seats, meaning the family and their luggage can get to their destination at the same time. The first thing you notice when getting in the Odyssey is a low exterior door handle (about the average personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belt line making it easy to grab when your hands and/or arms are full) and the easy step in height.

The 2014 Honda Odyssey offers reliability and a smooth ride. doors close with a solid feel as the entire vehicle seems heavier than its spec sheet indicates. Even with empty seats (either up or stored down) there was very little body noise and absolutely no rattles. On rough and twisty spring frost-heaved
roads, the ride was smooth, and tight and surprisingly un-minivan-like. Controls and handles are well laid out and the only complaint I had in this area was related to smallish HVAC controls mounted high up on the centre stack. Forward and side
visibility is better than average and the large rear camera monitor provides a high-definition view. Shoppers in this segment are looking for safety and value and reliability. On the safety front Honda delivers with four-

wheel ABS, active headrests, front, side, and air curtain airbags, stability and traction control. For value, this SE level tester has everything except a rear seat entertainment system and that can be a pretty inexpensive add-on from either the dealer or an aftermarket shop. The Odyssey is rated at 10.9 L/100 km city and 7.1 L/100 k highway (25.9 mpg and 39.8 mpg respectively). The US ratings are 22.8 mpg city and 33.6 mpg highway (converted to imperial gallons). Using the Canadian ratings the Odysseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 79.5 L fuel tank should deliver a mixed driving range of around 800 km and cost about $95 to fill at $1.27/L. The P235/65R17 tires my tester (and every level of Odyssey except Touring) was equipped with, are available in a very large range of makes and models for around $150-$250 each. The Odyssey is rated to tow 1588 kg (3494 lb.). While the Odyssey SEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price tag might be higher than certain competitors, it delivers enough added value to justify the price and most used vehicle valuation companies peg it at holding its value better than anything else. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for a family hauler thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earned its marks, then check out the Honda Odyssey. Yours in service, Brian Turner

Science fiction film fails to deliver despite strong performances radical procedure to upload Willâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consciousness into a computer. RIFT gets wind of what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and tries to stop them without success. Will gains access to the internet, and from there expands and evolves. There seems to be no limit to what Will can accomplish. He begins making quantum leaps in technological advancement. Will begins to make plans to change the whole world, but is it really Will or is it something else, and what will this change really mean for humanity? Transcendence is a fascinating piece of science fiction. I love the way it questions the very nature of consciousness, and what makes us human. It would make a great read, but as a movie it is boring. It moves painfully slow as it attempts to hammer home the morality of what Will is doing, and fails to engage the audience. This failure is due to two main flaws in the film. The first is a failure to properly develop the love story between Will and Evelyn. I needed more between
them to believe she would be willing to go to any lengths to save him, and he to save her. The second flaw is the lack of development of Paul Bettanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character Max Waters. Max is the hero of the story. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the person who bridges the gap between scienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential for good and for harm, yet this idea
While the story kind of loses the audience the cast is still very good. Johnny Depp is an incredible character actor who makes full use of his talents here. Rebecca Hall delivers a truly MARK HASKINS unique portrayal of a woman in love.

would have been 100 years old this year. As a rising comic magician in Atlanta, Ga., Mullica met Skelton in the early 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. They began a lasting, personal relationship that included some valuable advice from veteran to protĂŠgĂŠ : clean up the language, avoid jokes built on negative racial stereotypes, and always perform as though there are children in the crowd. After Skeltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1997, Mullica penned a show in tribute to his good friend.

Author of Tax is Not a Four-Letter Word says paying taxes is a good thing derek.dunn@metroland.com
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Next to weather, Canadians love to commiserate over taxes; especially when incometax filing season is at hand. Not so much Alex Himelfarb. He wants to change the way Canadians view paying taxes. From the H&R Block commercials bemoaning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tax painâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the backside to the dominant narrative that public revenue is money forcibly taken from hardworking taxpayers: the assumption is taxes are bad. And any person or party calling for a tax hike is laughably unfit to rule. Himelfarb is co-editor of Tax is Not a Four-Letter Word â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Different Take on Taxes in Canada. The compilation of essays by many leading experts explores various aspects of tax policy. Himelfarb filed already, well ahead of the May 5 extended deadline. Doing so didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the least faze this Ottawa resident and Government of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former most-senior non-political official. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just fine with filing my taxes,â&#x20AC;? said Himelfarb, one-time clerk of the privy council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a truly privileged life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the son of immigrants and this country has done much for us.â&#x20AC;? But what of those who are not grateful for government services? those who either donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate or need programs like welfare or the old age pension system, public education or universal healthcare? Himelfarb says class stratification can reach such extremes that the ultra rich believes it is entitled to all it has, that it earned its wealth (even if inherited or had educated employees). Conversely, the poor can loose all hope and believe the system is rigged. Meanwhile the middle class will resent those beneath and forgive those above. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we need to have a conversation on how we can restore the public good,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The book is really about taxes as a proxy for how we think about our obligations toward one another and our responsibilities to the public good.â&#x20AC;? The great bulk of taxes are used to pay for social programs
that benefit the vast majority of Canadians, a point Himelfarb says has been lost amid the last 35 years of Thatcherism and Reaganomics that insist on decreasing taxes ad infinitum. The issue hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been as polarized between left and right. From the early to mid 20th century most progressive social programs in the US and Canada were put in place by rightwing administrations trying to stave off communism. Leftwingers were often libertarians suspicious of government as an instrument of tycoons and their corporations. When the generation that won the Second World War returned from Europe both sides favoured social programs to aid the transition back to civilian life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why left and right donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work very well. Progressives understand the state is necessary to contain the market and a strong civil society is needed to contain the state,â&#x20AC;? he said. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why he talks about value for tax dollars, as do all moderates, because blind trust in the state is as foolish as blind trust in the markets. Both are capable of tyranny. Less means more But what of the commonly held refrain: tax people and corporations less and business will thrive, creating more jobs and more tax revenue? Trickledown economics has been tried for the past 35 years, culminating in the 2008 economic meltdown caused by deregulation and profit concentration, Himelfarb indicated. He cited a recent bipartisan Congressional Research Service study showing tax cuts didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deliver on their promises. Then there are the obvious successes in social welfare nations in northern Europe where standard of living and happiness indicators far surpass the laissezfaire economies of the US and Japan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The market is not everything. Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the evidence that tax cuts deliver anything but suffering and pain,â&#x20AC;? he said. Suffering and pain is something tax cut advocates often point to, saying the private sector is suffering therefore the public
sector must be reduced. But most mainstream economists agree that, when in recession or near recession there must be stimulus spending on the public side to bolster the economy; and when the economy rebounds, governments should scale back. That is exactly what the late federal finance minister Jim Flaherty eventually agreed to do. Himelfarb agrees that a large government presence in the economy cushions against booms and busts. Sunshine lists and union bashing among cynics contribute to a culture that denigrates the public sector. Himelfarb said the highest level public servants are paid less than counterparts in the corporate world. But that is a weak response for those who say the highest paid in both sectors are raking in too much. He added that it is untrue that public servants donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contribute anything. To those who advocate austerity measures in the public sector, they need to explain why it is good for traffic gridlock, escalating post-secondary costs, healthcare wait lines and more to continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at least force our politicians to answer questions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are fond of asking how much a new idea is going to cost, but not what is lost when they cut taxes.â&#x20AC;? As for those who say they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay any more; those on fix incomes, or among the working class: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always better to pool money rather than go it alone, Himelfarb indicated, and lower income citizens tend to get back more than they pay in. To others, some of whom fake hardship to mask greed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If I have suffered, others should suffer,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I would just say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a race to the bottom that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be a part of.â&#x20AC;? Tax and spenders Another common refrain is this-or-that candidate is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;just another tax-and-spendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Liberal or New Democrat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of many catch phrases mouthed by neocons on talk radio and in most daily newspapers that often goes unchallenged, as if the right capitalizes off of base emotions while the left is fumbling through the
rules of rational debate. Himelfarb, instead, turns it around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, they are tax-and-spenders. All politicians tax and spend. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they do: tax, spend, and reallocate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a question of those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
versus those who do. Even neoconservatives tax and spend. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a question on what: they tax and spend on military; progressives tax and spend on health care and social justice.â&#x20AC;? However, a recent example of a tax cut was when in 2006 newly
elected Prime Minister Stephen Harper, against the advice of most economists, cut the GST from 14 to 12 per cent. It made for a nice photo op, critics said, but also cost $14 billion a year in See TAX page 50

Province, OPP remind people what to do as bears come of out hibernation The potential for human-bear conflicts 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.

Strawberry breakfast parfaits with wheat berries a great way to start the day Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This is an easy summer entertaining brunch idea. The parfaits can be made ahead to allow for relaxed and easy entertaining. Wheat berries are a true whole grain. They are loaded with nutrients; add a slight crunch and subtle nutty flavour to the parfait. Layers of luscious, creamy whipped ricotta, chewy wheat berries, slices of Ontario strawberries and maple syrup for sweetness, will have everyone endlessly dipping their spoons and clanking the bottom for more. Preparation time: 15 minutes Standing time: 12 hours Cooking time: 90 minutes Serves: 8

He said it was going to do it. But that the opposition barely pushed back â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was the surprise. We are not just taxpayers.
We are citizens who want to act in the common good.â&#x20AC;? He called it a question of taxing fairly and spending wisely. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the conversation he eventually wants the public to swing back toward.

gressive mayors are elected in Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary, and Halifax. New Yorkers elected a mayor who promised to increase taxes on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealthiest citizens. Republicans are doing a rethink on where the Tea Party has led them, which is out of touch with the majority of disenfranchised voters. US President Barak Obama
talks a lot about equality; federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau talks about the middle class, but also about inequality; federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair would roll back corporate tax cuts and possibly increase capital gains taxes, though he vowed to freeze individual income taxes. Himelfarb thinks many 2015 municipal elections will be focused
on equality issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like there is something happening out there.â&#x20AC;? He said more and more citizens are catching on to the fallacy of the rugged individual fighting the world to satisfy his greed for material gain. Even the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes, a conservative who famously said the whole is worth more than the
sum of its parts, would have trouble identifying with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neoconservative, Himelfarb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear what they are trying to conserve,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, we are more than consumers and taxpayers with no obligations to one another. We are citizens figuring out what kind of future we want and are trying to build it.â&#x20AC;?
