Glen ‘Redman’ Blair receives Gilhuly Award Kayleen Preston

The sunshine cast its rays over the volunteer appreciation dinner at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre parking lot Thursday evening as hotdogs, hamburgers and other goodies were served to volunteers of the community.

All enjoyed the array of food, but the highlight of the evening was when Glen “Red” Blair was honoured with the Charles Gilhuly Award.

Although no one in the crowd was surprised, Blair was shocked to be the recipient. “I nearly fell off my chair!” he exclaimed.

Blair’s wife, Marion, joked around with him before attending the awards ceremony about how he should have a speech prepared just in case. He just shrugged it off originally, but once he found out that he was the recipient of the award, he wished he had listened to her.

Although he was lost for words, and still in shock that he was receiving this award, he was able to find the words to humbly say thank you.

“It is certainly an honour to be honoured here tonight for something you love to do,” he said.

Blair also thanked the community, members of Smiths Falls council, and most importantly his wife who was there to support him through thick and thin, and Rick Plontz.

“A lot of my success was due to guys I worked with, and one in name is Rick Plontz.

We took two years, two teams to Europe, and we always worked together, and I appreciated his friendship,” he said.

Blair has volunteered much of his time to the community over the years through sports, but is most known for his participation in hockey.

“The true measure of anyone’s success in life is the impact they have made on those around

Emotions overwhelmed Glen “Red” Blair when he heard his name as the Charles Gilhuly Award winner for this year during the Volunteer Appreciation Barbecue outside the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre April 30. them. Without a doubt, Red has made, and continues to make at the age of 81, a tremendously positive impact on hundreds, if not thousands of people in his eight decades of involvement in sports,” Mayor Shawn Pankow said in a speech while announcing Blair as the recipient.

Pankow, along with last year’s recipient Tom Foulkes, presented the award to Blair. Foulkes joked around with Blair saying that he should keep the plaque for a while, just as long as he brings it back next year.

Blair has also been honoured with the Citizen of the Year Award in 2013, and in 1989 was inducted in the Smiths Falls Recreation Hall of

Fame.

“He’s great. As he says, he’s 81 and still going strong, and volunteering and all kinds of things,” said Margo Loughren of the Smiths Falls Parks and Recreation Department. “So it’s great. It’s good for Glen.”

The Charles Gilhuly Award began in 1975 when the Gilhuly family donated the award to the Smiths Falls Recreation Committee. Each year it is presented to a member of the community, who demonstrates the quality of volunteer work solely for bettering the quality of life in Smiths Falls, much like Charles did.

Tay Valley Township resident acclaimed as Green candidate on April 28 desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Environmental activist Anita Payne is taking her game to the next level as the new Green Party candidate for the Oct. 19 federal election.

Payne was acclaimed as the choice of her fellow Greens during a meeting at McMartin House in Perth last Wednesday night, April 29.

“I was actually quite amazed that they had 30 people out,” she said, during a telephone interview on Monday, May 4. “People came from all over,” including north Lanark County, Frontenac County, and down near Sydenham.

While she has never run federally, the Tay Valley Township resident has three provincial runs under her belt – all in three different ridings across the province. She ran for the Greens in PerthWellington in 2007, when she lived in Stratford, and in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock in 2011, where she lived on her the farm of her brother-in-law for the month-long campaign (all while selling her Stratford home). Her most recent run was in last year’s provincial vote when she was the Green candidate in Prince Edward-Hastings.

“All of the ridings have been mainly rural,” she points out, and she did live in the Perth area in the 1990s.

She jokes that she told party members in this riding that she “will be the back-up candidate…I was trying to get

“So, here I am. I am here and I am available.”

ting elected,” said Payne.

Asked if such a sea change could happen here, she laughed and said, “anything can happen, right? The polls aren’t always right.”

She anticipates a lot of issues to come to the fore over the next five-anda-half months, and she hopes to address the “slashed” or changed laws that were voted on as part of the 400-plus page omnibus Bill C-38, which saw about 76 different pieces of environmental legislation altered.

As a former teacher, she said she is concerned by the federal government’s “muzzling and firing of scientists and cutting funding,” especially when it concerns climate change.

“The Harper government does not want to hear the facts, or, they want their opinions to be the facts,” she said.

Not surprisingly for a Green, other environmental issues are also top of mind for her list of campaign issues.

“We need to keep fossil fuels in the ground if we want to avoid catastrophic climate change,” she said. She called

vincial election, and on the day of the Prince Edward Island vote, where party leader Peter Bevan-Baker, a dentist, was elected as the island’s first Green Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) for the riding of Kelly’s Cross-Cumberland. It was only the second time in the island’s history that an MLA other than a Liberal or a Progressive Conservative was elected to the legislature.

(Back in September, Greens celebrated when their leader in New Brunswick, David Coons, was elected as the MLA for Fredericton South.)

In Alberta, it appeared that the Progressive Conservative dynasty that had ruled the province since 1971 was headed for defeat – at the hands of the New Democratic Party, of all parties (the polls closed out west after our newspaper went to press).

And, by the time you read this on Thursday, May 7, voters in the English riding of Brighton Pavilion will be casting ballots, deciding if Britain’s first elected Green MP, Caroline Lucas, elected in 2010, will be re-elected – and if any other Greens will be joining her.

Residents protest against steep hydro rate increases in Ontario Judi Wilson of Mallorytown, partially paralyzed on her ride side from a stroke, joined scores of others to protest soaring electricity costs outside Perth’s Hydro One facility on Saturday, May 2.

Holding a sign reading “Basics to live or hydro,” Wilson said the protest was her fourth in two years.

“My husband and I are barely managing our hydro bill now,” she added, “and we are unsure of the future.”

Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Randy Hillier, a longtime vocal critic of Hydro One, was one of a handful of speakers at the noon-hour demonstration, which was organized by Jeanette Kosnaski, a Barry’s Bay resident.

Kosnaski is an administrator for the Facebook group “Hydro One: Enough is Enough,” which has a petition circulating in communities across the province, asking Hydro One for the elimination of unfair fees and the HST from bills, as well as the removal of inaccurate smart meters.

At last count, the online petition was nearing the 56,000 mark. It will be taken to a noon-hour mega-rally at Queen’s Park in Toronto Wednesday, May 13.

“There is a bus with free seats going to Toronto May 13,” Kosnaski said.

Contact the offices of Hillier or Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark for travel information.

Both Hillier and Clark are scheduled to speak at the Toronto rally, along with Barrie Member of Parliament (MP) Patrick Brown, Parker Gallant of Wind Concerns Ontario and Cindy Moyer, founding member of the Huron-Perth Landowners Association.

To create awareness for the Queen’s Park event, Kosnaski’s group has held a number of mini-rallies.

“We need to get the word out, we need to get people on a bus for Toronto,” she said. “I know it is on a Wednesday, but re-arrange your schedule, please.”

The group “Hydro One: Enough is Enough” is asking for delivery charges to be the same in rural Ontario and urban cities.

“We are also asking for debt retirement, regulatory charges and HST to be removed,” Kosnaski said.

“People are starting to freak out a little bit more, with what is happening,” she added. “They are angry.”

Hillier accused Premier Kathleen Wynne and Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli of bankrupting small town, rural Ontario.

“The electricity provider with an exclusive monopoly in small town, rural Ontario is Hydro One,” he said, resulting in worsening customer service, increased costs and less accountability.

“We are not seeing the same problem in Ottawa, Kingston or Toronto,” Hillier said.

The local MPP noted the number of people making “far too much money at Hydro One,” including president and CEO Carmine Marcello at

close to $750,000.

“Rural Ontario is paying for this bloated, underworked and overpaid bureaucracy,” Hillier said. “Hydro One can’t get a bill out on time to most people or read a smart meter most months.”

“Hydro One must either face compe-

tition or be slimmed down in wages and number of employees,” he added.

Kosnaski is hoping to have thousands and thousands people at Queen’s Park. Both Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) are

Tourism association’s pilot project to strengthen businesses, experiences Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

The Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association (RHRTA) is going back to basics with their latest pilot project, geared at strengthening tourism business and experiences along the Rideau Canal.

RHRTA executive director Anne Marie Forcier was at Rideau Roundtable’s annual general meeting (AGM) April 27 at Lower Reach Park’s Kinsmen Pavilion in Smiths Falls April 27 to speak about the initiative. Entitled Destination Development, it is a three-year pilot project focusing on enhancing existing tourism opportunities and creating new visitor experiences along the canal’s corridor.

For the past eight years, the RHRTA has been focused on basic marketing and product development as well as strengthening international ties, Forcier said.

“We’ve been bringing together tourism operators and experiences and working one-onone with people at bed and breakfasts, hotels… to bring them together under a marketing platform.”

Forcier indicated that the RHRTA has seen great success, most recently with last year’s Visitor Experience Opportunities Concept (VEOC) report, where more than 70 stakeholders gathered over two days to create the guiding document, but now it’s time to shift gears.

“We envision a bit of a change and as we look at the changes, we have to strengthen what has been brought forward in these last eight years and build on what was good,” she said. “We are change because the environment is changing

and there’s a demand for different products.”

Thus, the Destination Development pilot project was born, designed to give businesses along the corridor an extra helping hand. The RHRTA has already applied for funding through the Eastern Ontario Development Program, to help with related costs.

‘The tourism business needs much more assistance to become vibrant and with the launch of this three-year pilot project we will focus on having viable experiences and products for 2017 when the celebration is happening for Canada 170,” Forcier stated.

Destination Development is all about ensuring tourism along the canal realizes its potential, she said. “Have we realized our potential?

I think we all know the answer to that and we realized early on that there is only so much marketing you can do. We have to go back to basics and strengthen the core of the businesses and experiences,” she remarked.

The first phase of the project is expected to roll out later this year with phase one geared around increasing local business tourism knowledge and collaboration.

“Some businesses don’t even realize they are in the tourism industry,” Forcier pointed out. To educate businesses, an industry training program will be developed.

The second phase will focus on the developing a framework and collaborative projects.

This includes establishing key partnerships, the creation of a marketing strategy, as well as the launch of local and regional marketing.

Year three will see the project market ready for implementation. Through a collaborative approach, smaller operators will have access to a

larger campaign and have a further reach than they would on their own.

Forcier stressed that the RHRTA “know this is a need in the industry” through feedback from community futures development corporations (CFDCs) such as Valley Heartland CFDC in Smiths Falls. They offer business counselling and coaching services.

“They see over 400 businesses annually, many of those tourism-based, who are having struggles,” she said. “It’s not just about where to put their ad, but many of these businesses are struggling to be sufficient and we need to get back to basics in terms of business plans and viability.”

Through Destination Development, Forcier said she would like to see activities such as the Rideau Roundtable’s popular Voyageur canoe experiences, become sustainable as well.

To succeed with the project, the RHRTA will work with its strategic partners, including the regional tourism organizations, existing businesses, landowners and surrounding municipalities and economic development departments. While still in its infancy, Forcier is confident this project will bring real change to the corridor.

“We’re still fine tuning this (project),” she said, noting that she was set to give a presentation at the RHRTA’s AGM in Smiths Falls April 30. “But why do we think this will work? The development potential is definitely there. We know there’s a need and co-operative marketing will assist everyone. Together, we know we can get further rather than doing it on our own.”

“We’re not trying to become who we’re not, but being true to ourselves and sharing that with the world,” Forcier added.

Setting waste example

C

ivic pride is evident at community clean-ups taking place in our coverage area this spring. Local residents of all ages are taking time to improve the appearance of municipal parks, open spaces, vacant lots and other properties, and we know that many of you are mindful of that throughout the year.

It still amazes us that there still seem to be people out there who cannot be bothered to find a garbage can and opt to toss waste onto the ground. There are too many township roadsides littered with bags full of refuse, and we don’t have much sympathy for illegal dumpers who are tracked down by bylaw enforcement officers based on evidence gathered from the garbage that is ditched. Some people are willing to spend money on gasoline to drive to the illegal dumping location but not purchase a bag tag or travel a bit farther to the appropriate municipal waste disposal facility.

Children and teens are often blamed

for littering issues at or near schools or at gathering places. However, there are many adults who are guilty of similar behaviour and are setting a poor example for the next generation to follow. The actions of a few often detract from those of the majority, which is true for people of all ages. It appears that the youth of today are much more responsive to environmental issues, and we are cautiously optimistic that the civic leaders of tomorrow will lead the way when it comes to maintaining the appearance of the communities in which they live.

For those of us who might occasionally seek the easy option when it comes to the inconvenience of whether or not to recycle or to properly dispose of garbage, remember that we are setting an example and affecting our environment now and in the future. Our behaviour speaks volumes to the next generation, and littering or illegal dumping are no exceptions.

May 24 was gateway to summer activities and traditions It was especially warm that April. The snow had long since gone, and the days were warm enough that the roads were no longer muddy ruts, and we could even see spring buds coming out on the trees.

Father came from the barn to get a cold glass of water, using his battered straw hat as a fan.

He took his red polka-dot handkerchief out of his back overall pocket, and wiped his face, sending streaks of dust from the hayloft down his face. “Sure is hot in the barn,” he said.

Emerson was joined by my brothers Everett and Earl in a plea for a dip in the Bonnechere.

Harper government has dismally failed Canadians: Reader DEAR EDITOR: Recently MP Scott Reid sent out a "Keeping In Touch" constituent letter on preventing terrorism at home and fighting it abroad.

He wanted voter feedback on whether we support or oppose Bill C-51, or think the bill gets it right, doesn't go far enough or goes too far.

Frankly, Bill C-51 is a huge four-part omnibus bill where even Constitutional experts have grappled with its complexities. Yet, in the final

analysis, most outside experts, including several former Supreme Court justices, think the bill most definitely goes too far.

Along with many other critics, Ms. May raises other troubling problems with the bill, including the lack of effective oversight and coordinated oversight over the various agencies, RCMP, CSIS, CSEC and CBSA, such that both security and privacy interests can end up being compromised.

Enter social worker and educator Rick Goodwin, co-founder of The Men’s Project, an Ottawa organization that provides counselling services tailored to the specific needs of men and their families.

Rick will visit The Table in Perth on May 13 to present a documentary film about male sexual trauma and to discuss what the healing process looks like for men who have been sexually abused.

“We’re looking forward to hosting Rick and providing a space for this important conversation around men’s healing,” says Ramsey Hart, executive director at The Table, a co-sponsor of the event along with Lanark County

Mental Health. “Learning more about men’s unique mental health struggles is a starting place. Hopefully in opening up this conversation, we’ll make it easier for men to speak out and access help in Lanark County.”

The event is free and open to the public and is part of The Table’s monthly movie and discussion series. As there is on every Wednesday, a free community meal is available from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and those interested in watching the film and joining the discussion are welcome to come early for supper.

shows that “only the provinces… have taken action,” on climate change. A Green government would also impose a carbon fee on pollution, and would then “return that fee to all Canadians equally,” which, she claims, “would lift people out of poverty…(and) it doesn’t grow the government.

This is the year it’s got to happen.”

As for more local issues, she criticized the decision to close down the Joyceville prison farm.

Proponents of the farm are “hopeful that a change of government can get the farm re-opened.” She is also quick to point out that the Joyceville facility, which is in our riding, “was one of the farms making a profit. There was no economic reason to close it down,” she said, only an ideological one.

“The farm was providing food to the community.”

On the agricultural file, “we really need to move away from large, industrial farms and more

towards smaller, local farms that feed people in the community.”

She cited the Two Rivers Food Hub in Smiths Falls as a “good example,” of the local, collaborative food production she would like to see.

ing terrorism abroad, particularly the air attacks within Syria against ISIL bases. One question the government can’t answer, however, is “What is the game plan or the exit strategy with ISIL?” My own view of ISIL is much like that of the Taliban – the more Muslims who are killed by westerners, the more effective the Jihadist recruitment efforts will become. We are on a perilous course and we don’t seem to have learned the lessons of Afghanistan (you would have thought Russia’s experience in that country would have taught us something).

My view, bottom line, is that the

Conservative government is using terrorism as an election plank and hoping that most Canadians will accept their “Preventing Terrorism at Home and Fighting Terrorism Abroad” message in a simplistic, knee-jerk manner without stopping to analyze it.

This message of how strong the Harper government is in fighting terrorism is also intended to take our focus off their other colossal failures – such as the treatment of veterans, Senate appointments, our annually increasing greenhouse gas emissions, the restrictions placed on scientists, the Fair Elections Act – now even our

venerable Coast Guard has been caught lying about an American expert saying they did a good job containing an oil spill in Vancouver Harbour. It just goes on and on.

I am thoroughly and utterly disappointed in the Harper government, which, even by the most objective measurements, has dismally failed Canadians on so many fronts and, in my opinion, operates in the most cynical, calculating, dishonest and anti-democratic way I have ever seen.

things, which made little sense to me, but obviously were important to Mother.

“Well, you will see that Mother never wears a summer hat to church until the 24th of May. She said in New York any woman caught wearing a summer hat before the 24th of May would be considered a woman of poor taste.” Audrey took a long breath.

“And you certainly wouldn’t wear white gloves before then for the same reason. And that same goes for summer shoes too.”

I was mulling over this bit of news in my mind’s eye. For the life of me I couldn’t understand why a date on a calendar

was so important.

And then Audrey reminded me of the many little flat wood boxes of sprouted seeds in the kitchen waiting to be put into the garden.

“Never, ever, has Mother transplanted those boxes until after the 24th of May. You’re too young to remember, but one year she planted every last box, and two days later, the frost came, and killed every last one of the plants.”

I had no idea what plants getting hit with frost, wearing a summer hat and white gloves and summer shoes, and swimming in the Bonnechere all had to do with the 24th of May. Audrey started to doze off in the swing. I mulled

over all she had said, and I figured, next to Easter and Christmas, the 24th of May must surely be one of the most important days of the year. I couldn’t wait for that date to roll around, and I decided right then and there, I would write in my diary all that had happened on that date so that years down the road, I would remember what an important day it was when I was very young.

(PTSD), aggression, addictions and suicidal thoughts are just a few of the issues that commonly affect male survivors, according to Justice Canada. Yet too often the causes of men’s suffering remain unspoken, and their mental health issues go unrecognized and untreated. Why? “The short answer is stigma and gender expectations,” says Colin Vincent, a social worker at Lanark County Mental Health. “There’s still considerable stigma around mental illness, particularly among men, and sexual abuse is even more taboo. Shame keeps men isolated. On top of that, we learn early on that being strong means keeping our feelings to ourselves and going it alone, like a character from a John Wayne movie. So men

Tickets for Wine’d Around Downtown May 30 in Carleton Place now available One of the most popular annual events in Carleton Place, Wine’d Around Downtown, is set for Saturday, May 30 and tickets are now available.

Organized by the Carleton Place Sister City Committee the wine and food sampling extravaganza is returning for an eighth consecutive year. Last year’s venture was the most successful ever and this spring the host committee has been inundated with requests for ticket information.

The event is a fundraiser for the Sister Cities Youth Exchange program.

Carleton Place is twinned with the village of Comrie, Scotland and the city of Franklin, Tennessee a growing suburb of the world country music capital, Nashville. Exchange visits to both sister communities are planned in August.

This year the colour orange will dominate on downtown Bridge Street.

Orange is the colour of the event t-shirt which doubles as a ticket. Last year nearly 400 people took part in Wine’d Around Downtown which showcases the many excellent restaurants and pubs in and around Carleton Place. The venture begins at 1 p.m. and runs until 5 p.m.

As the play on words in the name suggests, participants in Wine’d Around Downtown are encouraged to “wind” their way from one venue to another in the downtown area. With spring finally here, two participating firms will be operating outdoors.

The idea of the event is not to over imbibe, but rather to savour sample glasses of wine and enjoy appetizers in one or more of the locations taking part in the afternoon event.

“The event ticket package is now available at numerous locations,” says committee chair Jeff Maguire.

The package includes a T-shirt, an event passport filled with related information and a coupon for a free appetizer at one of the participating restaurants and pubs.

Anyone wearing a Wine’d Around Downtown T-shirt is entitled to purchase additional wine samples and appetizers for just $3 each.

“We ask everyone involved to wear their T-shirt and join the crowd. This is an enjoyable social event,” Maguire says. “But you have to purchase a tshirt and the logo must be visible in order to take part. Staff at the participating venues will only serve those who are in possession of one of the distinctive shirts which entitles you to wine and food samples at low cost.”

Maguire adds that in the past some people have participated without actually buying tickets which is not permitted. “When you buy a ticket you’re helping local students travel abroad.

That’s what this is all about.”

Numerous venues This year Waterfall Wedding and Event Catering will be located at Moore House, an historic downtown home at 170 Bridge St., opposite the Town Hall. Besides being the new home of the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce, it is also the site of the town’s aviation museum featuring the story of local native Captain A. Roy Brown, the First World War ace who shot down famed German pilot Baron Manfred von Richthofen in 1918.

Other participating venues include the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery, 20 Bridge St.; Ballygiblin’s Restaurant and Pub, 151 Bridge St.; Dionysos Restaurant (Greek and Canadian dining), 156 Bridge St.; Slackoni’s Restaurant

(Fine Italian Cuisine), 35 Mill St. and the Waterfront Gastropub, 12 Bell St. (across the river from the Town Hall).

Generations Inn and Fine Lakeside Dining (located at Lake Park in Beckwith Township) will be operating an outdoor location in the parking lot beside 92 Bridge St. where they were last year. Meanwhile the always popular Beckwith Butcher will dispense tasty appetizers and beverages at the Town Hall Square on Mill St. at Beckwith St. The cost remains unchanged at $25 per person. You can purchase t-shirts at the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce office (now relocated to historic Moore House on Bridge Street), the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery, Ballygiblin’s Restaurant and Pub, Slackoni’s Restaurant, Generations Inn at Lake Park or the Century 21 Explorer Realty Inc. office, 145 Bridge St. “During Wine’d Around Downtown the committee will also be promoting our new fall fundraiser which takes place in the upstairs hall of the Carleton Place arena on Saturday, Oct. 24,” Maguire explains.

The chairman says the October event replaces the former Sister City Gala Ball which ended a successful eightyear run in the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium last September.

“It’s time for a change of pace, a new venue, a new style and a more affordable price. Watch for the advertising posters and promotional information,” Maguire outlines. “We will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of Carleton Place’s twinning arrangement with Franklin, Tennessee. But this will be a very different event featuring a first-rate buffet dinner, live and silent auctions, a draw for a trip for two to

Nashville and lots more.”

The price is $75 per person and tickets will soon be available for sale at Nancy’s Impressions and Graham’s Shoes.

Also during Wine’d Around Downtown participants can fill out a ballot for a draw. The prize is two free tickets (a value of $150) to the October fundraiser at the arena. Ballots can be dropped off at the bar of either the Thirsty Moose or Ballygiblin’s.

This year the Carleton Place Sister City Committee is operating its ninth youth exchange with Franklin and the third with Comrie (the Scotland exchange runs every second year).

On Aug. 1 Carleton Place and Comrie mark the 23rd anniversary of their twinning arrangement which has a basis in history. Many of the original settlers in this part of Lanark County emigrated from the Perthshire region of Scotland, which includes the picturesque village

As mentioned the 10th anniversary of the Franklin sister city agreement is being marked this year. It is a “hands across the border” arrangement and one of just 24 such linkages involving Canadian and American communities.

“We are very proud of our sister city relationships,” Maguire states. “They have led to lifelong interpersonal relationships involving students from all three centres and professional development opportunities.

“We learn from each other and the side benefit is the friendships which have developed involving many people from Carleton Place and residents of centres in the United Kingdom and the United States.”

Lanark County businesses cheer federal tax cuts announcement sroy@perfprint.ca

A two per cent reduction isn’t much to a multi-billion dollar business, but for small businesses across Canada and Lanark County it has meant some much needed breathing room, according to local downtown business associations. “The reality is small business in our province and our country is struggling. The more the feds can support them the better off we’re all going to be,� said Cathie McOrmond, manager of the Carleton Place BIA. Nicola Thomson, Smiths Falls DBA co-ordinator, was pleased to hear the government will reduce the small business corporate taxes from 11 per cent to nine per cent by 2019, saying putting more dollars in the hands of local business owners can only mean more wealth for Canadian communities. “What we’re hoping for is that perhaps that two per cent can help make another job,�

Thomson said. “If they could just get one day reprieve what could that mean for the business owner.�

Many small businesses operate as a family business with the owner serving as staff and getting little to no time for personal enjoyment and rest. The government’s plan to reduce the tax rate by .5 per cent each year until 2019 will mean this break may be delayed until the full two per cent decrease is felt, but Thomson and McOrmond are united in their belief that keeping the money in local hands can only help the economy. This kind of relief doesn’t have to come at the hands of the government, as McOrmond and Thomson explain families choosing to shop locally and not at a box store can make an incredible difference to the entire area, as these dollars cycle through the economy. What customers get for the extra 50 cents per transaction is a wealth of knowledge and one-on-one service that can’t be found in a box store. “Value doesn’t just mean cheap prices,� McOrmond said. “You’re going to make someone’s year not someone’s multibillion dollar budget for the day,� Thomson added.

The work to develop new small business enterprises at Valley Heartland CFDC’s The Excelerator in Smiths Falls is hoped to translate into new store openings and a more diverse retail shopping experience for all. “It’s potential leases for our

building owners,� Thomson said.

Lanark Frontenac Lennox and Addington MP Scott Reid supports keeping the money in the hands of small business owners through a tax cut rather than raising the cap. “I think it will have a greater impact,� Reid said.

He doesn’t support government spending in a recession, as a means to buoy up the economy, saying such measures taken in 2009 is why the government took until this year to balance their books. “I’ve always been a fan of the idea of balanced budgets,� Reid said.

He defended the government’s track record of excessive spending in 2008 saying the minority government position required the Conservative government to spend $30 billion in stimulus for infrastructure or the other parties would topple the government. This year’s budget is balanced on the ledger page, but some are concerned that this will be hard to replicate as the balance came at the expense of their shares in General Motors and their multi-billion dollar contingency fund.

Reid responded to these concerns by highlighting a new law that will require minister’s salaries to be docked if the federal budget is not balanced.

TFSA The announced increase to the allowable Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) contributions from $5,000 to $10,000 this year aims to continue this budget’s theme of keeping money in the hands of spenders and not government coffers. “This is about letting you use the money to make your own best investments,� Reid said.

The difference between TFSA and traditional retirement savings is that a TFSA will not roll over into a RIF at retirement, it’s flexible in that it allows you to spend the money on whatever is needed at the time, and with a TFSA taxes are paid when the funds are put in and not at the time of usage. This is different from the RSP system that was designed in the 1950s and taxes you when the funds are pulled out. “It’s now clear the system was designed backwards,� Reid added of TFSAs. “It just makes sense. Anybody who is going to have savings will have TFSA savings.�

Currently, he notes roughly a third of eligible Canadians have

TFSA savings with this number increasing the closer individuals get to retirement.

Reid is concerned about the future of the retirement system in Canada as baby boomers age through the system and the cost to keep the pension program going for those that remain rises to $4,200 per taxpayer. Reid wonders if the pension program may be retired before those in his age group have a chance to tap into it. “That’s a real worry,� he said.

Compassionate care benefits Professionals in the palliative care world are cheering this month following the federal government’s decision to increase employment insurance compassionate care benefits from six weeks to six months. “It’s good that we’re starting to recognize life long care,� adds Rebecca Bowie, co-ordinator of hospice palliative care services through Community Home Support – Lanark County. “It’s a real sacred time just like birth.�

This budget item allows family members who are caring for terminally ill loved ones without financial penalty for up to six months.

Bowie applauds this move, saying family members are best suited to act as advocate for their loved ones, and are most able to ensure the terminally ill citizen receives the highest quality of life as they exit this world. “It’s a great stride even for the recognition at this stage.

Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MP Scott Reid joins industry professionals in welcoming this change to benefit coverage. When asked if this is a first step towards recognizing conditions that aren’t terminal, but require time away from work (i.e: cancer), Reid responded: “I suspect that you’ll find over time that it would have to be increased incrementally.

The question always with these things is a practical matter. How much does it cost.�

Details on how the budget will be implemented will be made public this Thursday, May 7, but overall, Reid feels the budget was generally well received as he heard a much more muted response than past budgets.

Final liberation parade in the Netherland’s Apeldoorn Saturday

to Rheinberg in Germany.

In between are the Dutch Canadian War Cemeteries including Bergen-op-Zoom in southwest Holland where 968 Canadians are buried and Holten in northwest Holland where 1,355 Canadian soldiers are interred.

The largest Canadian War Cemetery in The Netherlands is at Groesbeek, near the eastern city of Nijmegen, where 2,338 Canadians are buried.

We visited Groesbeek in 1995 and took part in the 50th anniversary service of remembrance which was also attended by Dutch Princess Margriet. She was born in the Ottawa Civic Hospital in January 1943 while the Dutch Royal family was living in exile in Canada.

In 1995 I was the editor-publisher of the Carleton Place Canadian newspaper.

Kathleen and I traveled to Europe as part of a Legion-sponsored trip. I covered the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe and the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland. We were in the company of 15 Second World War veterans and their wives from Carleton Place, Lanark County and Ottawa.

It was our first visit to Europe and as I noted earlier it was not only incredibly emotional, but also life changing. Kathleen and I have been fortunate enough to make 19 subsequent visits to Great Britain, Ireland and Continental Europe over the course of two decades.

But it’s that very special first visit in 1995 which will always top our international travel story list. The truly incredible experiences we had during that excursion can never be repeated and we feel very fortunate. We’ve also been lucky enough to make lifelong friends as a result.

Our tour leader in 1995 was the late Carleton Place businessman Alan Barker.

The Almonte native was a Canadian Army veteran of the European campaign in the Second World War. Alan was one of the finest gentlemen it has been my privilege to know.

Beginning in the 1960s Alan and his late wife Melba (she was the first female Mayor of Carleton Place) began leading organized tours involving Carleton Place and Lanark County veterans and other interested people to Great Britain and Europe. The focus was England’s South Downs, in East Sussex, where Canadian troops trained in the lead-up to the invasion of France (D-Day). Alan’s Legionsponsored tours also visited the former battlefields and war cemeteries in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.

On this occasion Alan, with the assistance of Carleton Place Legion Branch 192, organized the tour through a travel agent and long-time friend of Alan’s in Nottingham, England. That firm in turn hired a coach from Pontefract, West York-

Personally I would love to see the parade continue. It is a good way to thank veterans, honour their memory, remember the terrible losses suffered during the Second World War and recall the euphoria of liberation.

By Jeff maguire

Steve Horan, Jim Parker and Harold Taylor. They are all gone now. But I was fortunate enough to be a witness to one of the proudest days of their lives. Our veterans are very special people and since 1995 I have dedicated a great deal of time and space to writing about their amazing lives and exploits. It’s become a calling for me.

Reflections

shire to carry us on our travels. The coach driver Martin Ireton has become a lifelong friend of ours. We have visited back and forth with Martin, his wife Wendy and their family many times over the course of 20 years.

The entire 15-day expedition in 1995 was unforgettable. Included were stops in London, Rotterdam, Vimy Ridge and the European war cemeteries as well as Paris.

Incredible experience But it was what we witnessed during the 50th anniversary Dutch National Liberation Parade in Apeldoorn, 50 years ago today (May 7, 1995) that is permanently seared into my memory.

Europe was enveloped in a rare, spring heat wave. At parade time it was a head spinning 34C. We were staying in Eindhoven, 90 minutes away. Martin drove us to the arena in Apeldoorn where the parade participants, including the veterans from our group, were being organized.

The rest of us were ferried to the centre of the city of 160,000 where grandstands had been erected for spectators to view the military parade.

It was projected that 8,000 Allied veterans would join the parade and 50,000 spectators would watch the spectacle.

Instead nearly 12,000 veterans, most of them Canadian, took part. The crowd of onlookers swelled to an overwhelming 500,000.

The surge of Dutch citizens smothered the marching veterans with affection.

Women ran into the streets to hand them bouquets of flowers, hug and kiss them. It was an unbelievable scene which I captured on about 20 rolls of 35-millimetre film (no digital cameras in those days).

The people of Holland absolutely love Canadians. And you don’t have to be a veteran to become the object of their affection either, as we found out first-hand 20 years ago today. We too were hugged and kissed and there were line-ups to obtain one of the red maple leaf pins our group was handing out. We all ran out of lapel pins in minutes.

The most emotional moments for me came when the veterans from our entourage proudly marched past. People like Alan Barker, Willy Rattray, Wally Mace,

This Saturday (May 9) what is being called “the final National Liberation Parade” will be held in the city of Apeldoorn, The Netherlands.

This year marks 70 years since Allied troops, including a large force of Canadians, liberated Holland after five years of brutal Nazis occupation. Apeldoorn is in the province of Gelderland in the central section of The Netherlands which makes it an ideal location for those traveling from all parts of the tiny nation for the much anticipated liberation parade.

The reason this year’s event is being called the last parade is because 10 years from now it is believed very few veterans of the Second World War, or Dutch citizens who were alive during the war, will be left to take part. After all, Second World War veterans are now in their late ‘80s or early ‘90s. Unfortunately time waits for no one, including our heroic veterans.

Liberation parades have been held in Holland every five years. But it is major anniversaries, marked every 10 years that draw the largest number of veterans and the biggest crowds. My wife Kathleen and I were in attendance at the landmark 50th anniversary parade on May 7, 1995.

It was an emotional and life changing experience!

Holland was invaded by German troops on May 10, 1940 the same day that one Winston Spencer Churchill was named Prime Minister of Great Britain.

The country was instantly occupied by the enemy and remained so until the first week of May 1945.

By the end of 1944 the western regions of the small country were suffering from a manmade famine so harsh that it is still referred to by those who lived there at the time as the “Hongerwinter” (Hunger winter). A German blockade cut off food and fuel supplies to the densely populated west of the country. People were reduced to eating tulip bulbs in an effort to survive.

It is estimated that 18,000-22,000 people succumbed to the effects of starvation and cold. To complicate matters the winter of 1944-45 was particularly harsh.

Following the successful D-Day landings in Normandy, France on June 6, 1944 the Allies fanned out across Western Europe. The Canadians were given one of the toughest jobs of all, pushing north along the Channel coast, liberating German-held ports and meeting fanatical resistance.

Thousands were killed and wounded.

By early fall 1944 the Allies had pushed through northwest France and Belgium and liberated the southern portion of Holland. The Allies’ effort ground to a halt in September when ‘Operation Market Garden’, their attempt to race across Holland and capture a key bridge over the River Rhine at Arnhem, failed due to a poorly conceived plan and stubborn German resistance.

War cemeteries That left the rest of Holland in enemy hands until the spring of 1945. The country was declared totally liberated on May 5 following the surrender of all German forces.

From September 1944 until the German surrender more than 7,600 Canadians were killed in action. They are buried in war cemeteries from Adegem in Belgium

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has just released a new prevention video on texting and driving. The video, produced by Constable Pierre Dubois of the Hawkesbury OPP detachment, aims at discouraging drivers from picking up their cell phones and other related devices while they are at the wheel.

The OPP reminds the community that the consequences of “texting and driving” can be disastrous. The video, called “Sounds of Texting” focuses on the sounds and emotions related to the negative impacts of distracted driving.

The OPP regularly investigates collisions that are a direct cause of distracted driving and the number of incidents related to distracted driving has significantly increased over the years.

In Ontario, drivers caught with a cell phone in their hands are eligible to receive: • A fine of $225, plus a victim surcharge and court fee, for a total of $280 if settled out of court • A fine of up to $500 if you receive a summons If you endanger others because of any distraction, including both handheld and hands-free devices, you can also be charged with Careless Driving.

If convicted, you will automatically receive: • Six demerit points • Fines up to $2,000 and/or • A jail term of six months • Up to two-year licence suspension You can even be charged with dangerous driving (a criminal offence), with jail terms of up to five years. You can make a difference by sharing this information with friends and family members. You can also set a good the example for others as you drive by taking these easy steps to avoid being distracted: • Use your cell phone only when you’re parked • Have a passenger take the call • Let calls go to voicemail • Turn off your cell phone before you start driving • Identify and preset your vehicle’s climate control, radio and CD player • Plan your route and set your GPS before you leave The message in this new video confirms the obvious…you can get caught “red handed” and receive a fine. But consequences could even be worse where they could lead to heavier fines, jail, injuries and even death.

Hawkesbury OPP Detachment Commander, Inspector Bryan MacKillop says “someone’s family member or friend is sharing the roadway with you. Protect others, protect yourself.

Keep your eyes on the road ahead and your hands on the steering wheel at all times so that everyone makes it home safely.”

For more information on the dangers of distracted driving or to view the “Sounds of Texting” video, please visit the OPP’s YouTube channel available at www.OPP.ca or by clicking on the following link: https://youtu.be/wukfLIODzzE. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

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

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

Getting the royal treatment The ninth annual Cinderella Boutique Day was making prom dreams come true Saturday, May 2 in the former Smiths Falls Curves location in Cornelia Court. According to organizer Penny Evans, 50 girls were outfitted from head to toe with dresses, shoes and accessories. Those who missed out on the day can still find a dress for graduation by contacting the Smiths Falls Free Methodist Church during regular business hours at 613-283-5383. Above, Grade 12 Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute student Kristin Duberville found this strapless black satin number for her prom. To make it unique, seamstresses outfitted it with a champagne-coloured sash. Above right, during the day, each girl seeking a dress received help from her own personal consultants, who volunteered their time. Showing off some of their favourite dresses are, from left: Brittany Marino, Erica McFadyen, Megan Jennex, Paris Healey and Hannah Evans.

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

The ladies behind the “seams” who help make each dress unique for the girls: Nancy McFadyen, Peggy Fletcher and Karen White.

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust’s annual Spring Walk to Blueberry Mountain is set for Sunday, May 10. The walk coincides with the 100th anniversary of the death of John Muir, a renowned naturalist. During the walk, Howard Clifford, above, will appear as Muir.

Joyce, Flo

Leave your car at home for a day, week or a month!

Try walking or biking. If work is too far away to walk carpool.

A celebration of the life of John Muir on Blueberry Mountain May 10 • Allowed our fears to interfere with opportunities to follow our dreams?

• Worried that we may come to the end of our days and realize we have never really lived?

• Struggled with conflicts between love of material things and the things that nourish our souls – with living vibrantly in the world without succumbing to it.

• Wondered how to balance preserving the beauty and healing forces of nature and the utilitarian need to use nature`s resources to accommodate an ever growing population.

John Muir faced these issues and more – head on. What makes Muir such a powerful influence was his ability to combine science and his intellectual giftedness with an unsurpassed deep, extended immersion in nature experiences.

The synergy between the intellect, the emotional, and spiritual perspectives arising out of these experiences made for a profound authentic voice, rarely encountered.

Blueberry Mountain is located near Flower Station in Lanark Highlands. Directions are available on the mmlt.ca website.

Registration is at 9:30 a.m. and the nature walk starts sharply at 10 a.m. ‘John Muir’ will appear at 11:15 a.m. at the top of Blueberry Mountain, weather

permitting. If the weather is not co-operative he will appear in the in-door classroom at 12:15 p.m.

Bring along your lunch to enjoy in this beautiful spot. Desserts, tea and coffee will be served. The entrance fee is a $10 donation to the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust. Entrance for children under 12 is free.

For more information, please contact Howard or Jean Clifford at 613-259-3412.

About the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust The MMLT is a non-profit, charitable organization that works directly and flexibly with landowners interested in permanently protecting properties with exceptional ecological value, often bringing the support of a number of tax benefits.

In addition to conserving land, MMLT believes that exposure to nature provides numerous personal benefits and offers regular opportunities to the general public to experience the wilderness first-hand on its nature reserves.

MMLT currently manages more than 2,100 acres of wilderness conservation lands.

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) is hosting its annual Spring Walk to Blueberry Mountain on May 10. We take delight and count it a privilege to dedicate this year’s walk to John Muir, considered by many to be the foremost naturalist of the past century.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of his death. His life story continues to inspire and he has become the unofficial patron to cliffLAND. Come and hear some of his stories about how his nature experiences became so internalized into the fabric of his personality that when he spoke many felt he was the voice of nature. Though he was far ahead of his own time, his voice is still in the forefront, calling us to greater aspirations, greater dreams.

You may be surprised how directly he speaks to today`s societal issues and to our individual and personal challenges. The issues may appear very different but at the most fundamental core level of the human condition nothing has changed.

Who of us have never: • Felt depressed, anxious, had unresolved anger, or feared losing control of our life?

• Felt that our work and personal life entrapped us into a web of artificiality, devoid of authentic purpose or meaning?

1965 Pontiac Parisienne coupe with same owner since 1968 Terry White of Beamsville, Ontario, writes: “Hi, Bill: In 1965 I fell in love with the 1965 Pontiac GTO. I graduated with a Grade 12 Diploma in Auto Mechanics and started my apprenticeship.

By 1968, I was spending my extra money on tools and my future wife Liz of the next 43 years starting in 1972.

“Then Uncle Dave, who dealt with York Street Hardware in Hamilton, said he found a 1965 Pontiac GTO for sale for $1500.00. We went to York Hardware and saw a burgundy 2-door hardtop with 28,000 miles, bucket seats, black vinyl roof, and 327 4-barrel. But it wasn’t a GTO. It was a 1965 Pontiac Parisienne Custom Sport and I fell in love with it. I bought it and drove it with pride for the next 12 years.

“In ’72, it became the wedding car for myself and a lot of buddies during the ‘70s.

“The master cylinder has been changed from single action to dual with a proportional valve added with help from John Stuart of Stoney Creek. The interior is basically original with new carpet and roof and three kids later, it was time for a more suitable family car.

“I did some engine work and body work to keep it as a second car for back and forth to work at Dofasco. The restoration spanned 31 years with the car much of that time in a garage in Caistor Centre and three years at Pankhurst Restorations in Hamilton.

“The engine with original block is upgraded with a ¾ race street cam, 300 hp Corvette double hump heads, Aluminum High-rise Edelbrock Manifold with a 650 Holley and Hooker Headers. A 5-blade Flex fan and trans cooler were added.

Highland Park Cemetery Highland Park 2037 McGee Side Road, Carp Cemetery 2037 McGee Side Road, Carp

When to decide it’s the right time to finally retire your ride With a couple of weeks of beautiful spring weather to boost our spirits, more than a few of us are feeling the seasonal pull towards automotive dealership lots in full bloom with shining chrome and hot wheels.

But many others prefer to stick with their current ride out of comfort, sentimentality, and the fear of new vehicle loan or lease payments.

The average age of a Canadian vehicle is now pegged at over nine years. But when is it time to pull the plug and plates off of the daily driver, and what are the telltale signs of age you shouldn’t ignore.

No automaker will publicly state what lifespan they design their vehicles to endure. And with the extremely wide variety of vehicles available in our market, from the entry-level subcompact to the ultra-exotic dream-car, it’s hard to pick an accurate time or mileage limit out of the air.

And as each vehicle is owned by a very unique driver with unique habits of maintenance or auto-abuse, similar makes and models can enjoy very different lifestyles and dates of admission into that eternal salvage yard in the sky. But no matter how fastidious or abusive we might be

about car repairs, nor how many thousands we spend, Canadian roads and weather are the great equalizers.

As I mentioned before in these columns, one carmaker was once upfront enough to me to admit that they engineered, designed, and built their vehicles to a 10-year/250,000 km life expectancy. This was a mainstream manufacturer, which consistently occupies one of the top five sales spots in North America every year. But long before these milestones, we should be inspecting and getting some advice on critical areas of our autos.

If your wheels are driven 12 months of the year and get to enjoy the best of our winters, then around the five year mark you will want to have certain areas inspected for rust (in addition to regular maintenance).

Often times attentive lubebay techs will pay attention to the undercarriage of older vehicles they service and bring any issues to the attention of the driver. But you can’t really rely on a simple oil change service to catch the subtleties of the corrosion process with its gradual efforts to return our transportation investments to the ground.

It’s just as important to have

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

a full bi-annual comprehensive check up by a qualified tech.

They will look for such things as rusting brake and fuel lines for example; a topic that received recent attention from the U.S. National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration (NHTSA). In a public release bulletin earlier this year, NHTSA urged all older vehicle owners to have a complete undercarriage desalination wash done every spring after the winter road-salt season has ended (the undercarriage spray at most automated cars washes do this job well).

It seems that NHTSA just figured out what many Canadians have known for years; that soft spongy brake pedal and dash warning lights are giving the heads up that some immediate attention is needed.

But rusted and leaking brake lines aren’t the only effect of more than a few winter’s driving. Suspension and exhaust components as well as fuel tanks

and their retaining straps and floor and body panels can also be ravaged by our love of roadsalt.

Some of these concerns can be found with visual checks and some require a little more invasive procedures such as removing fender liners and under-body shields.

Often times a metal panel or frame-rail will look perfectly normal but will bend or dent with relatively light taps of a hammer indicating that rust is starting to take its toll.

A large source of metal on any make or model of car can be particularly expensive to deal with as the vehicle ages and can provide a dizzying array of symptoms; that would be the copper wiring. As copper wiring corrodes, due to exposure to wet salty environments, it turns to powder.

Exposed connectors and even well protected ones can exhibit this and the symptoms can range from check engine lights to

failed electrical systems, to nostart conditions. While there are too many electrical connectors and wiring harnesses in a modern vehicle to be able to inspect in a reasonable period of time, a qualified and experienced tech can examine the most vulnerable and the most common points of failure.

As there is very little preventative maintenance that can be performed to prevent electrical system corrosion failure, it’s pretty much a fix-it-when-itbreaks type of approach.

One of the clear indicators that it’s time to replace your ride unfortunately only comes with a major breakdown.

When you’re faced with a major repair that will cost an amount equal to or greater than the current wholesale value of the vehicle, it’s time to stop and consider your options.

If the repair history of your vehicle has been good and it’s structurally sound and a general inspection doesn’t reveal any fu-

ture headaches, you may be well advised to go ahead and bite the bullet. But it’s still a roll of the dice with an older vehicle. Consider the benefits along with the costs of a replacement vehicle.

Better fuel mileage, safer protection systems, and lower maintenance costs at the beginning, may make a financial picture that sees you behind the wheel of a something new(er).

If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ in the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

Latest Avengers film: flawless MOVIE: The Avengers: Age of Ultron STARRING: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlet Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron TaylorJohnson and James Spader DIRECTOR: Joss Whedon RATING: PG As much as I love writing these reviews there is one small drawback. Each week I have to see a new movie, and right now I just want to see Avengers: Age of Ultron again and again.

The Avengers have teamed up to find Loki’s staff. They’ve raided Hydra base after Hydra base until finally finding it in an obscure European country.

The Avengers win the ensuing battle, but they encounter two super powered twins, Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Pietro Maximoff (Aaron TaylorJohnson), fighting for Hydra.

Wanda is a telepath and telekinetic, and her brother Pietro is super fast.

The Avengers recover the staff, but after Tony (Robert Downey Jr.) studies it he realizes it holds the key to true artificial intelligence. He and Banner (Mark Ruffalo) have been working on a project to

My Take mark haskins

protect the world. They called it Ultron, and now they have the means to make it a reality.

Their attempts seem to fail, but something does awaken.

Ultron comes to life, but he’s not what Tony and Banner planned. Ultron is a being of rage. He wants to tear apart the Avengers, and then the world. It will take the entire team to stop him, and even then it might not be enough.

I loved this movie. The Avengers: Age of Ultron is everything I loved about the comic books and more. The special effects are gorgeous. The action has a fluidity that’s mesmerizing. The camera work is absolutely unreal as it puts you right in the middle of it all. It’s the kind of thrill ride that gives you shivers, but it’s so much more than that. Whedon doesn’t just make action films. He creates intense emotional experiences wrapped in brilliant writing and dazzling performances. It’s a perfect film.

This ensemble of actors

Lyons Goodfellow

FURNITURE

is the best. You simply can’t imagine these movies without Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlet Johansson, and Jeremy Renner. They are their characters. Just when you think a good thing can’t get better Don Cheadle as War Machine, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury enter the picture. With this film we also have Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Paul Bettany as the Vision joining the team. They are tremendous characters played perfectly by the newcomers.

I have to make a special mention of James Spader who is the voice of Ultron. In the Marvel Universe few characters are as feared as Ultron. His voice is the voice of terror, of rage and of evil. Spader is all of that.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron blends heart-pounding action with real emotion. It blends the Earth-shattering heroics with a wry sense of humour. It blends the mind-blowing special effects with truly human performances. It is in a word, flawless.

Fundraising initiative gives Bowick-Sandor a second breath Bowick-Sandor isn’t alone in facing the daily struggles she deals with.

According to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation website (www.canadianpulmonaryfibrosis.ca) at least 30,000 Canadians have pulmonary fibrosis with an estimated 5,000 of them dying every year.

The Smiths Falls Kinsmen will be hosting a golf tournament on June 6 to support both Bowick-Sandor and Neil Doef, a Smiths Falls teen who suffered a paralyzing spinal cord injury in December.

The golf tournament, hosted by the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club, will have a shotgun start at 1 p.m. It is a four-person scramble. Tickets are $99 per person ($79 for members) and include golf carts, chicken dinner and prizes. There will be a putting contest and silent auction. Proceeds will be split between Bowick-Sandor and Doef.

The Smiths Falls Home and Living Show had a special corner at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre cordoned off for a special woman.

Jacqui Bowick-Sandor, who suffers from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and is in need of a set of lungs, was there enjoying the day as a fundraiser by Rideau Home Hardware and Town and Country Chrysler. It was a huge success.

IPF affects the function of the lungs by scarring the tissue and eventually not allowing the lungs to transfer oxygen to the body. This can lead to shortness of breath (requiring oxygen support), a dry hacking cough, coldness in the hands and feet, memory loss and ultimately death.

The gang came together on Monday, May 4 to present her with a cheque for $1,500.

“This is incredible,” she said. “It helps with day to day living, as I’m in Toronto once a week. So this goes to help with hotel room costs, food, parking, gas… day to day stuff.”

Bowick-Sandor has been a trooper since her diagnosis four years ago. Physio therapy which has grown to include swimming at the Hub pool in town, has been the key to her staying at home.

If she wasn’t as well as she is, she’d have to stay closer to hospital in Toronto.

“I started aqua fitness and it’s been really helping me,” she said.

She takes her oxygen tank with her – along with her 50 feet of tubing. She admits, at first it was a bit uncomfortable but she’s OK with it now.

“It (lung disease) doesn’t stop me

Town and Country Chrysler’s Hugh Colton, and the staff at Rideau Home Hardware and Building Centre present Jacqui Bowick-Sandor with a cheque for $1,500 this week.

Proceeds were raised from a barbecue held at the weekend’s Smiths Falls Home and Living Show. Pictured are Colton, Jacqui and her husband Bruce Sandor (behind); Tracey Stringer, John Best, Jamie Pilon and Scott Fleming.

Members of the fundraising team for Jacqui Bowick Sandor’s journey in receiving a lung transplant were busy at their recent fundraising event at the Kinsmen Community Pavilion on Saturday, April 25. Supporting this local woman through her medical challenges were (left to right): Ruthie Bullock, Barb DeLisle, Lisa Stewart, Jacqui Bowick Sandor, Danika Bowick, Kelly Ilan, Dennis and Rita Richardson.

Irv Mazurkiewicz has spent years and countless hours behind the scenes working on committees that support the continued success of the town, and for that he received this year’s Volunteer of the Year Award.

Mayor Shawn Pankow formally presented the local volunteer with the award during the regular council session Monday, May 4, and applauded Mazurkiewicz for all he has given to the town.

“He is a true gentleman in every sense of the word. We hope to have Irv working with us for many more years to come,” the mayor said.

Over the years, the local man has sat on various committees from the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce, Tourism, Economic Development Advisory Committee and is currently the chair of the Municipal Heritage Committee and sits as a director on the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation.

“Thank you very much. I really appreciate it,” Mazurkiewicz said after the surprise honour. “I volunteer because I enjoy helping out. I think we live in a fabulous town. I love living in Smiths Falls.”

The local man has been retired for some time wrapping up his working career at Parks Canada’s offices in Smiths Falls.

On May 9, the Stewarts will host a country dinner and barn dance with live entertainment featuring Wade Foster, Brea Lawrenson, Henry Norwood, Andy Bowes and Ed Bowes, Arlene Quinn and the Burnside Sisters.

“We have an incredible lineup this year,” Jenna says. “It’s going to be great.

We have a team of 11 volunteers who have been meeting every two weeks to organize this event. I can’t believe how generous and supportive everyone has been. It still overwhelms me.”

The event will kick off with registration for a walk-a-thon at 1 p.m. at the cabin located at 467 Buttermilk Hill Road. Participants will then start the walk at 2 p.m.

The country dinner later that afternoon will feature a hip of beef and pork

on the barbecue, and baked potatoes for a $10 fee, which will be served from 5 to 7 p.m.

A silent auction of generous items (like spa packages, golf, restaurant vouchers, home décor, etc.) from 1 to 7 p.m. will be available to bid. Raffles and door prizes are also filling the barn at Little Rock Farm.

New this year will be a kids’ area featuring carnival games and pony rides and face painting. There have been events for children in the past, but this year, they will have their own zone.

A popcorn machine on offer from Century 21 will have free popcorn for guests. Surprise bags are also going to be available.

“He’s still mobile. We may get him a scooter for longer travels.”

He’s doing well at school, and “is a super star there,” she says with a laugh.

“Although he was devastated that the Sens lost (to Montreal in the NHL playoffs) the other night and was yelling at the TV.” Jenna says Mason’s doctors are “always surprised by him” and the strength he is showing upon visits.

“Sometimes he’s in leg braces at night,” but that’s just to help stretch out his heel tendons, she says.

“His teacher says he stays positive at school and he always finds a way – his way – to get things done. He makes it work,” Jenna says.

tive of the support of the community – not only the local business for making things happen with the amazing prizes and donated items, but they are also appreciative of their organizing committee, not to mention their friend, Hugh Colton for his efforts.

This year, the Stewarts will be presenting two $500 bursaries in name of Mason’s friend, David Onion, who died earlier this year. Jenna works with David’s wife, Bev at the hospital in Perth.

“We have always given bursaries out, but this year we decided to name it the David Onion bursary to recognize a man who just loved Mason – and Mason loved him.”

Last year, some 350 people came out for the event. They are expecting even more this year.

Danny Whitmore president of the Lanark County Labour Council placed flowers during the Day of Mourning ceremony at Smiths Falls Memorial Park April 28. The ceremony is to not only remember those who have been killed on the job, but to also create awareness to help improve workplace safety for current employees.

Smiths Falls Cruise In nights start May 14 STAFF

Car and truck enthusiasts are revving up their engines as the cruising season is back in full swing.

If you have a vintage, antique or just a wellloved vehicle and want to show it off, come visit Smiths Falls on Cruise In night.

“We run every Thursday night from May to September,” says Donald Bates, who helps organize the event and has been doing so for 19 years.

A section of the Wal-Mart parking lot on Lombard Street is cordoned off for car and truck drivers who want to mingle with other like-minded individuals from 6 to 8 p.m.

“We have people from all over come to the Cruise In nights,” Bates says. “They come from Kingston, Prescott, Ottawa, Pembroke and Kemptville… and last year, we had a guy come all the way from Alberta.”

The event is not restricted to hotrods of certain ages, “anyone can come,” he says.

Bates says he is thankful to his cruise night sponsors who help provide him with prizes that can be won through draws by those in attendance.

“And I couldn’t do it without the help of all the volunteers,” he adds.

For those who enjoy the vintage shows of this nature, on Mondays, enjoy the classic car show at the Civitan Club in Perth from 6 to 9 p.m.

Each year we help over 50,000 businesses connect with local consumers.

Local woman finds joy in the written word, pen pals Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

For Jane Noll of Smiths Falls there is no immediate send button or confirmation notice to her communications with friends around the globe, and that’s just the way this ardent handwriting pen pal likes it.

“I think I can exist the rest of my life without a computer,” she said.

Noll has been a dedicated pen pal for most of her life, having started in a pen pal club when she was in Grade 4/5.

“I wrote to that girl until I was married,” Noll recalls.

At the time, the young Noll wrote to thank her friend, Linda Grave Evans of Liverpool for her wedding present, but never received a response.

“It would be interesting if I could ever find out what happened to her,” Noll said.

Though never far from her mind, Noll put away her love of pen pals and got down to business in raising a family and living a busy life. Years later she rediscovered letter writing with one fellow lady and thought maybe she could add a few more to her list of people she shares stories with through pen and paper. Noll sent a letter of invitation in 2006 to both The World of Cross Stitching and the Cross Stitcher who printed it asking anyone who would like to exchange letters to contact Noll.

“All of a sudden I started getting mail.

I never expected to get 90 replies,” Noll said.

Over the years the pen pals have dwindled to about 25 with whom Noll continues to converse and send birthday and Christmas cards each year.

“I try to promote Canada,” the local resident said.

She often includes a hand made item, Smiths Falls’ post cards or something with a Canadian theme to it to mark her pen pal’s special occasions. The special gifts, such as a crochet flower that now hangs in her dining room, pales in comparison to the friendships and enjoyment she gets from the words themselves.

“I like to write letters. I get lost in it.

They’re just real treasures,” Noll said.

Many have suggested Noll transfer her letter writing from pen and paper to the computer screen where communications could be kept up much quicker and at a significant cost savings. Last year, Noll spent around $800 in postage to her pen pal friends.

“It’s the getting that letter in the mail with a foreign stamp,” Noll said.

She kept one commemorative postage stamp of Alice in Wonderland from England, but regularly donates her stamps to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) who has a box at the post office. The funds from the stamps are used to train dogs.

“We talk about everything. I’ve been

through cancer with one lady and she has since lost her husband,” Noll said.

Another letter writer is caring for her ill husband and sees Noll’s letters as something to look forward to. Noll feels the same way about their letters, saying the notes give her a glimpse into a different life in countries far away. She currently has pen pals from the UK, Scotland, Australia and Ireland as well as America, and has had visits from her Scottish and Australian pen pals.

“That was super,” she said.

Her letters are also an educational vehicle. Over the years, Noll has discovered that the UK celebrates Mother’s Day in March and turn their clocks back at a different time then we do in Canada.

One of her dear friends, Barbara Brown of the UK regularly sends 12-page letters recounting various happenings in her life and responding to Noll’s notes from the previous letter.

“It’s just so funny learning about her life,” Noll said.

Sunday is Noll’s habitual letter writing day where she opens up her filing cabinet and selects the letters (organized according to date received) that she will respond to that day. The local resident now has three cabinets full of letters she has received from her 25 remaining pen pals.

“I’ve kept every letter they’ve ever sent to me,” Noll said.

Her dedication to continuing to put pen

to paper has come with some challenges since the world has largely moved to digital means. She has a hard time finding unique writing paper for her friends, and fondly remembers the arrow grams she used as a child when she first took up the hobby many years ago. Noll remembers this special paper bought only at the local

post office that could be folded to reveal the postage paid stamp on the outer side, while keeping the note safe. She encourages parents to offer letter writing as a valid hobby for their children, noting it improves penmanship and grammar rules while offering another social outlet for kids to learn about different cultures.

Trip away made me think of home

he cliché that home is never far away from your heart was born out in real life for me last week when I travelled with my family to Huntsville, Ont. The area was full of picturesque towns with rolling hills, lakes and nature all around. After driving for seven hours with two children under the age of six I admit the beauty of the scene before me was somewhat tainted as I thought I’d just driven the day to essentially end up where I started… (sigh).

The views struck my husband silent as he gasped at the endless lakeshore and mountaintops covered in untouched trees that reach up to the sky. During an overnight stay at a Bracebridge hotel, I was awe struck when I stood next to a grouping of these trees and had to crane my neck straight back to see the treetop above. It looked like it touched the sun, and the sheer number of trees around us comforted me.

I’ve always loved small towns and that lifestyle, but had no idea there was a home like my home out there. Huntsville has a thriving tourism industry with a growing cottaging population that descends on it beginning mid-May until Thanksgiving weekend. Sadly, the tourism sites follow this calendar and were closed last week. Sound familiar yet?

The town’s mayor, Scott Aitchison spoke at the conference I attended and welcomed attendees. During his brief speech, Aitchison noted the region doesn’t have a lot of industry, but has grown local small businesses

STACEY ROY For the Record

thanks to the demands of cottagers.

Here, I think we may differ thanks to our location near the nation’s capital, but I think you understand the parallels now.

The mayor spoke about their natural assets, in particular the trees that are protected from clear cutting, which got me thinking. What would Lanark County’s natural assets be?

I think the answer is farmland. We have an enormous number of small, family-owned farms throughout the area and we aren’t capitalizing on them. I think this could be a great tourism draw (if local farmers will follow me on this). There are so many children (my own included) who must go out of their way to experience the farm way of life and would pay to do so. What is it like to raise sheep or cows? What does a farmer do each day and what does it feel like? Farms are great for tactile experiences. Heck, throw a pair of overalls on a visitor and let them shadow folks on the farm – it would be cool!

Many of our area farms have seen the value in experience tourism and offer some form of sensory experience on the farm be it jumping in the hay bales (a personal favourite) or a walk through the barns. Now what’s left to do is co-ordinate these individual experiences and create some See COLUMN page SF9

Join the fight against cancer by being part of Relay For Life 2015

Like others in the Canadian Cancer Society’s (CCS) Relay For Life (RFL) 2015 in Smiths Falls, the members of the Zendragon team have all been impacted by cancer in one way or another.

“Most recently, a member of our Zen family was diagnosed with cancer and has since successfully gone through cancer,” team captain Melissa Hillier said. “Personally, I had a very good friend who was unable to beat Neuroblastoma as a child.”

This is the third year Zendragon has participated in the RFL and Hillier says team members are looking forward to the Saturday, June 13 event, which will take place from 6 p.m. to midnight on the track of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. The Relay in Smiths Falls has moved from the traditional 12-hour format to six hours in 2015 to encourage more people, particularly families, to take part.

“Relay For Life has been an amazing experience for us,” Hillier states. “Not only supporting a great cause, but also allowing us to form new friendships and strengthen existing ones. The luminary ceremony is a very powerful experience, probably my favourite part of the night.”

All proceeds raised go to the CCS to assist with cancer research and support the many programs that the society’s Lanark, Leeds & Grenville community office offers to those who have cancer, cancer survivors and caregivers. Last year’s event raised $58,200 with the 2015 target being $80,000.

Zendragon is one of 12 teams registered to date for the June 13 RFL. Along with representation from the local Smiths Falls’ community, there will be participants in the event from Carleton Place,

Perth, Kemptville, Athens and beyond.

The Zendragon team already has 10 members and its team captain is expecting more to join them.

“We have more children attending with us this year, since it is much more manageable to have them there for six hours instead of 12,” she says.

With the RFL 2015 in Smiths Falls being themed after a 1950s sock hop, fashion trends from that era such as poodle skirts, saddle shoes and bobby socks, as well as hulahoops, are expected to make a comeback for this special evening.

“Details about our attire haven’t been discussed yet but I’m sure it will include some poodle skirts and records,” Hillier hints.

After previously chairing the Survivors’ activities at the event, the Smiths Falls’ resident is honoured this year to have been asked to be the community crew chair.

“I believe that cancer is the one thing that we all have in common,” she shares. “Whether you have fought it yourself, you have been a caregiver, or a friend or family member has, I don’t know one person who hasn’t been affected by it in one way, shape or form.”

Hillier would like to pass on the baton to others to take part in the June 13 event.

“Sign up! You won’t regret it,” encourages the Community Crew Chair.

For further information or for help in getting registered, contact Anita Carley, community fundraising specialist for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville community office, at 613-267-1058 or email her at ACarley@ontario.cancer.ca. You can also visit the RFL website at relayforlife.ca/smithsfalls.

Kids fishing tournament on May 9 Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBSLC) is happy to be the Charity of Choice for Peter Larmand Outdoors’ Ninth Annual Kids’ Fishing Tournament which is being held on May 9 at the Rideau Ferry Harbour Marina (110 Coutts Bay Road).

The event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine. It is $10 per child or $25 for a family of three or more. Registration includes kids’ lunch and prizes. Peter Larmand Outdoors will be donating a percentage of the proceeds from the day to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County.

This is the ninth year Larmand has run this fishing tournament for children. He loves fishing and providing children with an opportunity to also en-

joy the sport and believes that it is important for children to get outside and be active.

BBBSLC has been helping local kids through mentoring programs for over 40 years. They are well known for quality programs that build selfesteem, increase academic performance, allow free access to organized sports and healthy food. The agency does not receive sustainable government funding, rather they fundraise and rely on groups like Peter Larmand Outdoors to run third party events to raise support for the programs they offer.

515 children took part in their mentoring programs in 2014.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 You are a mystery lately, Aries. No one is quite sure what you will do next and you may like to surprise. But share your plans every so often with those closest to you.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, surround yourself with positive people who maintain optimistic outlooks. Many opportunities will open up if you keep a positive attitude.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may resist social activities this week at first, but soon you will get swept up in the fun and lose your inhibitions. Use social activities as a way to network.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you are thinking about a career move, it’s about time you put your plans in motion. This week you may find you are full of energy and ready for a new challenge.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a renewed sense of enthusiasm has you eager to get started on future plans. Perhaps a new course of study will suffice and pave the way for new experiences.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 A chance encounter with an old flame stirs up feelings you didn’t realize you still had, Virgo. Even if these feelings are less dramatic, you’re still tempted to act on them.

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 40 - Thursday, May 7, 2015

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, it is up to you to initiate action in a situation that leaves you somewhat uncomfortable this week. Don’t hesitate to step up and take charge.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 A difference of opinion may be highlighted at work this week when you are confronted by a coworker, Scorpio. Act with integrity, but be firm with your resolve.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, others may try to stop you from having fun, but you are determined to enjoy yourself. Your entire week is focused on having a good time with friends and family.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, although you cannot control all of the changes in your life, you do have firm control over your personal health. Don’t put off revamping your diet and exercise plan.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, close friends will keep you pretty busy over the next few days, but you can handle it. Let off steam with a few different fun activities when time allows.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Use caution when making decisions this week, Pisces. You can be prone to impulsive behavior, and you don’t want to find yourself in trouble.

THANK YOU FROM THE FAMILY OF THE LATE DOUG FOSTER

I would like to thank everyone who attended my SURPRISE 65th Birthday/Retirement party on April 25th. Thank you for spending time with me and to everyone for the cards, gifts and well wishes.

A special thank you to my family and co-workers who worked so hard on my party and were able to keep it a secret from me. If I have missed thanking anyone please know that you are included in this thank you note.

Norma Melanson

HAPPY SWEET 16th BIRTHDAY May 12, 2015 Emily Paige Watkins (Aemelea) Tender and friendly. Daughter of Dr. Todd Watkins and Janet (nee Hermer) and granddaughter of Minola Marks of Perth, Shirley and Bill Watkins of Smiths Falls. At nine months she walked. But! I never saw her walk – “she ran everywhere.” She is self raising, Janet and Todd say “Just add water.” Excellent at hockey and captained her Nepean Wildcats to the provincial championship in 2014 (a leader). Sometimes stubborn. Very confident, supportive of others, always loving, caring and loyal. Family and friends come first. Loves her brother Logan (17). They are the best of friends.

Loves active sports, has a good self image, positive personality. Above average in school.

Competitive, loves to accomplish. Responsible, strong willed and good morals. Has travelled a lot with her family. It can be raining outside and when I walk inside Emily walks toward me, there comes a warm breeze and the sun is shining, and all the above is true.

God bless you Love Nana (Minola Marks) Uncle Kevin, Edmonton, Alberta Deb, Don, Amanda and Ashley

THANK YOU

BARBARA ELIZABETH ROYCE

To our loving family and friends for the many hugs, prayers, cards, food and the support through this difficult time. We greatly appreciate it. To Dr. Sinclair and his team and many more doctors and nurses at the Civic Hospital. You gave us so much help and support through this journey. To the doctors and nurses at the Smiths Falls hospital for the wonderful care and compassion you gave us. We had the honour of the Ruby Giff Palliative Care room in the Smiths Falls Hospital. So many thanks to her family. It gave us so much comfort to stay with Dad during his final days. We were so fortunate to have Dad respond on his arrival home and thankful that he knew family and friends. We had some special moments with Dad, he asked questions, recognized us sometimes and had a great sense of humor. He even tried to pickup a couple nurses and we will cherish those memories.

To Sean Foster for writing Dad’s eulogy from his brothers and sisters. Also to Prudence Cameron Jordan for the strength to speak on our behalf. It was so very touching. To Luke and the staff at the Perth Planing Mill for the wonderful cedar display at the funeral home to place Dad’s memories on, the cedar shims and the Perth Planing Truck at the church. It was a great send off, Dad would have been so proud. To John for his kind words. We cannot express how grateful we are for your true friendship and support you gave to Dad through good times and bad over the years and your very touching tribute to Dad. To Luke whom touched so many people’s hearts with the stories you remember of Dad. We will look at a map differently, and an auction sale will never be the same without a chuckle. To Dad’s fishing and hunting buddies, he loved the sport and we thank you for making his dreams come true, especially the Doug-Mobile.

To Dad’s card playing friends who provided him transportation when he needed to get to a game and social time he loved so much. To Dad’s pallbearers, you were not only good friends, but you were a part of Dad’s life. Thank you for being part of his celebration of life. To the staff at Blair & Son for the true compassion that you gave our family. Thank you Stewart for choosing the music for us on Dad’s behalf. It was so beautiful.

To Reverend Shelly for the beautiful service on Dad’s behalf and to the Balderson Church for the delicious luncheon. Dad was a well respected, honest, hardworking man. He cared and loved his family and friends, we will miss him so much. Knowing Dad will be reunited with the love of his life Marlene and son Charlie, and so many other loved ones in Heaven, gives some strength to go on.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

CRAWFORD – In fond and loving memory of the best husband and father in the world, Orval Crawford, who passed away 12 years ago May 3, 2003.

We have learned with silent effort To hide the tears that start But we cannot hide the longing That lies within our hearts.

Wherever life may take us Whatever we may do The memories of the years we shared Will keep us close to you.

There’s a family who misses you dearly In a home where you used to be There’s a family that wanted to keep you But God willed it not to be.

You left many happy memories and a sorrow too great to be told But to us who loved and lost you Your memories will never grow old.

Too dearly loved to ever be forgotten by his loving wife Dolly, four sons, and their families

BYGROVE, Harold May 05, 2008 - In loving memory of dear brother Harold.

Forever in our hearts.

Love, your Family

ANNOUNCEMENT 100 Years Ago 8 May, 2015. Born a son, Thomas Arthur Ennis to parents Mary Ann Elizabeth Ennis and Thomas James Ennis of Fallbrook, Ontario. A brother for Mary and Marjorie. His memory lives on in the life of the community.

IN MEMORIAM

HAWKINS – In memory of Ken Hawkins – May 3, 2001.

Although you can’t be with me, We’re truly not apart, Until the final breath I take, You’ll be living in my heart.

All my love Judy DIXON, Duane – In loving memory of a dear husband, Duane, who passed away on May 7, 1995.

God called your name so quietly, That only you could hear, And no one heard the footsteps, Of angels drawing near.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of me went with you, The day God called you home.

Forever loved and missed dearly, Joan

LEVAC - In loving memory of our parents and grandparents, Janice Marie (Baxter) May 2, 1994 and Arthur Joseph, May 9, 1997.

We thought of you with love today But that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday And days before that too.

We think of you in silence We often speak your name.

All we have are memories And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part.

God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts.

Lovingly remembered Sandy, Dianne, Glen, Danielle and Andrew

Deforge – In loving memory of our little Angel, Jamie Elizabeth Deforge, who was a Granddaughter, a Daughter, a Sister and an Aunt who passed away 13 years ago, May 10 , 2002.

This day will be a celebration Of the short time you were here.

You will always be remembered With great love and many tears.

But to only feel pain and sorrow Would not be fair to you.

Your life meant so much more to us, More than words could ever say.

You were here so briefly, I know you knew All the ways you’ve touched Our world and our hearts And everyone who knew you Since the day God called you home.

Now our child and sister you’re an Angel With your heavenly Father above, We see not only what we’ve lost But our capacity of love.

There will always be a big void In our lives and a hole in our Hearts that will never heal.

Our souls will grieve forever.

Will we forget or stop loving you?

No! Not now … not ever.

As this day is upon us, Oh how our hearts still hurt.

But, even as we mourn your death, We will always celebrate your birth.

It was and always will be, the happiest days of our lives.

We will always love you and remember you in our hearts forever.

You are never far away.

Love Grandma (Clarice) Duncan, Mom and Dad, Douglas, Jenna, Jamie, and Jaxsen, Michelle and Chris

Love always your family and friends.

DIXON, Duane – In loving memory of a dear father, father-in-law and grandfather who passed away on May 7, 1995.

Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, But Dad you’re missed and loved, In a very special way.

If we could have one life time wish, One dream we know would come true.

We would pray to God with all our hearts, For yesterday and you.

Sadly missed and forever loved, Dawn, Brian and Michaela and Dale, Sue and Helena

It appears the prince will remain a bachelor.

Meanwhile Sir Harry (Justin Yanosik), the leading knight of the kingdom, has his own issues. He discovers his love Lady Larken (played by Mudds’ Youth Theatre graduate Katie Irvine) is pregnant. They too are in need of a quick trip to the altar.

Sir Harry declines Lady Larken’s offer to disappear and save him from any social embarrassment. Instead he embarks on a search for the right princess for Dauntless who convinces him to keep looking despite the fact his mother says no.

The word “pea” has just three letters. So does the word “fun”.

Both words were at the heart of a just concluded presentation by the Mississippi Mudds theatrical troupe of Carleton Place in the Town Hall Auditorium.

The Mudds have been around for 40 years and they certainly know how to tickle your funny bone. Their version of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale ‘The Princess and the Pea’ is an action-packed, song-filled delight from start to finish.

The Mudds’ spring show was called ‘Once Upon A Mattress.’

It is the stage adaptation of Andersen’s classic story about a young prince, desperate to find and marry a princess, who runs into a major obstacle in the form of his possessive mother.

Once Upon A Mattress fea-

tures music by Mary Rodgers, the daughter of well-known American composer Richard Rodgers (she died last year) and lyrics by lyricist/songwriter Marshall Barer (1923-1998).

The original production opened in New York City in 1959. It marked the Broadway debut of Texas-born actress/comedian / singer Carol Burnett who went on to a stellar career in television and films. Burnett received a Tony nomination for her work in Once Upon A Mattress.

The musical comedy is set in a fictional kingdom in 15th Century Europe ruled by the devious Queen Aggravain and her mute husband King Sextimus the Silent. The King labours under a curse which has rendered him speechless and can’t be reversed “until the mouse devours the hawk.”

In the local presentation Mudds’ veteran Michele Eno

cess Winnifred who he found in the muddy grasslands. Winnifred is so eager to arrive at the castle and meet the prince that she swims the moat, impressing virtually everyone.

I have no intention of outlining the entire plot. Suffice it to say the Queen meets her match in the free spirited, indomitable Princess Winnifred, played

by Jennifer Vorano in what I thought was a show-stealing performance. Vorano has excellent stage presence along with a strong singing voice.

All about fun I used the word fun in the lead and that’s what this latest offering by the Mudds was all about.

Plenty of laughs, loads of action, outstanding costumes along with good scenery and props. The production was interspersed with some very good songs that once wowed Broadway audiences.

Director Sandra Dunlop, producer Karen Lapointe and musical director Laurel Tye deserve great credit for staging a thoroughly enjoyable musicalcomedy.

The casting was superb and I have to credit another Mudds’ veteran, Robert Horne, for his handling of the extremely demanding role of the mute King Sextimus. His timing during the various sight gags and his ability to (somehow) perform so capably without uttering a word, for almost the entire production, is laudable. Horne’s facial expressions during the pantomimes he performs are priceless!

The biggest disappointment for me was the small turnout.

The auditorium wasn’t even half full on Friday, April 24. I realize the Senators were busy dismantling Les Canadiens in Game 5 at exactly the same time. I wanted to see the game too. But I made a better choice on this night.

(The show was plagued by low attendance which is really unfortunate.)

Once Upon A Mattress was funny, frantic, romantic and melodic. And I want to acknowledge some of the other fine performances in this show.

Another Mudds’ regular, Trish Smith, was excellent as the Minstrel who not only regaled the audience with song but also acted as narrator, setting the scene for certain elements of the show.

Other important roles were that of the Jester, well managed

by Jennifer Pfitzer, while Adam Pelletier was strong in the dual roles of the Wizard and Nightingale. Kiera Uriarte also did double duty as Princess No. 12 (Winnifred is No. 13) and Knight No. 1.

Also among the main players were veteran actor, director Mark Piper as Sir Studley and another youth theatre product Hayley Fortier as Sir Luce.

Of course the supporting cast of 11 Ladies-in-Waiting also did yeoman service.

The band, led by Peter Brown was solid as always and the musical numbers were very strong.

I liked Many Moons Ago, In a Little While and Sensitivity in Act 1. In the second act I particularly enjoyed Happily Ever After (a solo by Vorano) and the very funny Man to Man Talk (featuring Sextimus miming the facts of life to an uncertain Dauntless).

My only regret on the musical side was that we didn’t get to hear Piper’s strong voice more often.

The costume team, which included Eno herself (the Queen’s gowns are stunning), deserve ap-

plause. Well done, ladies.

The sets, designed by Jeff Lee and Kate Martin, are outstanding. The bed and mattresses, so key to the conclusion, are really impressive.

In recent years the local troupe has produced some excellent shows including Nunsense Two: The Second Coming in spring 2013. It was a sequel to the highly successful Nunsense One (which Mudds offered as ‘Nunsense: The Mega-Musical’) in December 2010. They also staged the extremely funny ‘Noises Off’ in spring 2012.

Once Upon a Mattress joins a long line of very good shows by Carleton Place’s own theatrical troupe, an organization the entire community should be proud of.

Organizers encouraged students to develop a project based on their own interests, which brought about an impressive diversity in topic from local police forces to service organizations and sports heroes.

A woman’s wedding day is suppose to be the happiest day of her life, but when it ends in death the ghost stories that are born from it make a great heritage fair project, as two Lombardy Public School students discovered.

Grade 4 students, Grace Burke and Raine Maidment are one of the six local heritage fair teams from Lombardy that will set up at this week’s regional event in Perth, May 7.

As first time participants, Maidment said, “We had no idea that we were going to make it this far.”

The girls’ project, ‘Canadian Ghosts Among Us’, featured five Canadian ghost stories: one from the Canadian Museum of Nature, one from Prince Edward Island, another from the Banff Springs Hotel, one from the Kingston Penitentiary and the last from the Chateau Laurier, but their favourite and the most popular among fair attendees was the story of the bride at Banff Springs Hotel. Burke explains the story tells of a bride who trips on her gown going down the stairs and snaps her neck never making it to the aisle. Later that day, her mournful groom sees his beloved dancing in the ballroom where the evening’s celebration was to take place.

The uniqueness of the story and its roots to a common religious sacrament caught the interest of the young students who dressed up as a bride and elderly lady for the April 23 fair at Lombardy Public School.

“We wanted a presentation that would grab attention,” Burke added. “Lots of people were staring at us and taking pictures. I don’t know many people who have died on their wedding day.”

Lombardy fair attendees voted the sad tale of the young bride’s fatal nuptials as the scariest story in the two girls’

Lombardy students bring ghost stories to life in heritage presentation

2015 Years ago the family cat, usually aloof, suddenly decided to spend time on my father-in-law’s lap months before he died of pancreatic cancer. Why? Another family reports in a Toronto newspaper that their pet feline recently began a vigil on a loved one’s lap just before he died. So what did the cat know that wasn’t taught to me at The Harvard Medical School? The New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Gifford-Jones not noted for publishing trivia, surprised doctors several years ago by publishing a photo of Oscar, the cat. This male feline had become famous for his uncanny ability to predict death.

Oscar did not have a noble background. Rather, he had been saved as a young kitten, by staff members of a geriatric nursing center. They bailed him out of an animal shelter.

Little did they know he was headed for celebrity.

It wasn’t too long before staff members noted that Oscar had a knack for knowing when a patient was about to die.

Nurses at Steere House Nursing Center, in Providence R.I., reported that Oscar ‘would snap to attention’ when he sensed the end was near for a patient.

It was like an army drill. His routine rarely varied. He would arrive at the patient’s bedside four hours before death occurred and curl up alongside the patient. Often he would be purring, paying attention to the patient’s breathing, while family members gathered and the priest administered last rights. Then when death finally came he would quietly leave the room.

During that time, while I was visiting Rhode Island, I got first-hand reports about Oscar. When I asked nursing staff, ‘What’s his track record?’, they told me Oscar had not missed a diagnosis in 25 deaths.

What a great batting average! Luckily, he had limited his death vigil to elderly patients in a terminal care facility. But Oscar could scare you to death if, aware of his diagnostic skills, you were scheduled for surgery in a few hours, and Oscar suddenly took a fancy to your bed. Any one in his right mind would get dressed and go home.

The big question is how does Oscar, who didn’t graduate Summa Cum Laude from Medical School, know so much about approaching death? Doctors I talked to at Steere House didn’t have an answer. But they had several theories.

Some personnel believe that Oscar, and cats in general, are sensitive to the human world and great observers of human routine. They contend he watches the increased activity that occurs in a patient’s room prior to death. One doctor said, ‘He most likely enjoys the warm blankets placed around a patient at that time.’ Others believe it’s a lack of movement that attracts Oscar as the dying patient in bed becomes quiet.

I question that theory. Oscar, like other animals, lives in a world of scents rather than sight. His vision is 10 X less than humans but his sense of smell is 14 X stronger. So when he cuddles up to a patient he has 200 million odour cells compared to our mere 5 million. I talked to several specialists who believe that certain chemicals are released when a patient is dying, and Oscar detects the odour.

I’m sure the secret will die with Oscar. But Oscar’s uncanny ability to detect the time of death took my thoughts back decades ago when I was hotel doctor at The Manoir Richelieu in La Mal Baie, Quebec.

A 90 year old Baptist minister from Texas was a guest of the hotel along with his two daughters. He suddenly became ill due to a heart condition and refused to go to the local hospital. He claimed if he was going to die he would prefer to do so looking over the St. Lawrence River. At one point he became so close to death I relieved his nurses. I’d wait by his side until he died.

But he did not die. And in a few days, much to our surprise, walked out of the hotel to return to Texas.

Oscar, where were you when I needed you? You could have saved a young doctor lot of embarrassment.

Each year in early June for the past 44 years there has been a large bicycle tour through our region organized by the Ottawa Bicycle Club. This year the event will see just over 2,000 cyclists on some of our local roads Saturday and Sunday, June 6 and 7. The event has become so popular that there are cyclists from all regions of Ontario, (Eastern Quebec and Montreal) plus many from New York State.

Most of the riders will be with groups of friends working together on a long (180 km) ride.

There will be no mass start for the event and consequently the cyclists will be spread out along the route in small groups. They are not racing but merely trying to complete the challenge of two days of strenuous, but exciting and picturesque touring in the Rideau Lakes area.

Smiths Falls Cubs Novice girls finish up a banner season She shoots… she scores!

That was how the 2014-2015 hockey season began, and that is how the season ended for this year’s Smiths Falls Cubs Novice girls team.

Under the direction of their head coach, Meghan McArthur, the Novices made themselves known early on in the season that they were a force to be reckoned with and they continued their charge throughout the season.

This team of girls had the whole package; speed, skill, coachability, and of course, undeniable dance moves!

They began the season going undefeated in the opening weeks of regular season play leading up to their first tournament in Gananoque. There the girls put on a bit of a clinic, scoring 37 goals and only allowing one goal in all tournament. It was here that the Cubs experienced their first gold medal as tournament champions this season.

The girls continued to develop their skills throughout the season with their hard work and commitment of all 15 team players and dedicated coaching staff of Coach Meghan and assisted

by Craig Johnston, Sarah Kerfoot, trainer Renee Smith and GM Rusty McArthur.

By this point, the Cubs had landed themselves solidly in first place in the league and did not experience their first loss until late December in a regular season game. But undeterred by the loss, the Cubs rallied back and arrived at the Kingston Ice Wolves Tournament in early 2015 ready to win once again! These six- to eight-year-old athletes skated hard all weekend, playing six games over the three day tournament, three of which they played back-to-back-to-back in one day to win their way to yet another gold medal (and banner) and become the tournament champions.

The Cubs maintained their dominance in the league throughout the season and headed into the Cubtown Tournament on another impressive winning streak. The girls were excited and proud to be playing host at the tournament and had successful run until meeting up with “CP White” in the tournament finals. It was an intense game, both teams hungry for the win. In the end, the Cubs settled for a silver medal (and banner) in front of their home-

tion. Unfortunately, they fell short and settled for an honourable silver medal in the ODWHA finals.

And as they say, “save the best for last”, the same held true for the Cubs as they ended their season with a trip to the Brampton Canadettes Tournament. The only way to close off the type of season these young ladies started seven months prior, was to play it the way they began it, and thus the Smiths Falls Cubs Novice Girls won the gold medal (and banner!) as tournament champions.

It was a most memorable season; goals were scored, shots were stopped, passes were made and friendships were forged; games were celebrated with cheers for victories, and hugs for the (few) losses, laughter during the impromptu bench dance parties, but mostly, joy shared for the greatest game in the world.

An open letter to our fans, from the Ottawa Senators What a ride! The last two - plus months have been an incredible run, as our team came together to overcome the greatest deficit in NHL history to qualify for the playoffs.

This year, we had a major loss within our family and fought battles both on and off the ice.

We stuck together and persevered knowing we could achieve our goals. In February, when the odds were stacked against us, this team started to roll. When we starte d to win, we could feel that something special was happening. We couldn’t put our finger on it at the time, but knew it was different.

We know you felt it too – we know this because once the team started the run, you wouldn’t let us quit. You were loud and supportive at home. You filled Canadian Tire Centre during the team’s road games, and the crowd waiting for us at the airport when we arrive d from Philadelphia blew us away. You changed the mood of the entire city. You pushe d us to keep going when the odds were against us and we responded.

Game 6 may not have gone our way, but the ovation you gave us before we left the ice was one of the most incredible moments of the entire season.

As we leave to go our separate ways for the summer, we want you to know this – there has never been a Senators team more excited for next year.

Thank you, fans!

Sincerely, Your 2014-15 Ottawa Senators

Youth spring football league kicks off this week in Smiths Falls Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

The Rideau Youth Football Association is kicking off the spring season this week and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exploding at the seams.

This year there are more than 700 players in the league on 20 teams, representing a 20 per cent growth rate, according to the Smiths Falls league president, Mark Pankow.

In Smiths Falls, there are about 180 players from eight to 18 years of age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are four areas in our catchment including Kemptville, Brockville, Beckwith and Smiths Falls,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen phenomenal growth since the league started (about eight years ago). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible and certainly bodes well for our coaching staff and committed parents.â&#x20AC;?

The Smiths Falls Renegades have a bye the ďŹ rst week of action with their ďŹ rst games in Beckwith on May 8. Showcase day at Lower Reach will take place on May 30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crowds are always great and there is lots of fun on this big day,â&#x20AC;? Pankow said. The day will feature a barbecue and rafďŹ&#x201A;es as well as exciting football all day.

The Renegades will also host their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bowlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

SHUT DOWN!

games on June 21 at Lower Reach Park. This will be for all league champions.

Previously operating under the Brockville Youth Football Association banner, the organization changed its name to the Rideau Youth Football Association last year.

The club has been established to help foster, promote and teach football fundamentals to area youth. Through a commitment to develop and encourage fun, ďŹ tness and fundamentals while focusing on sportsmanship, the league helps to promote community spirit and fellowship, Pankow noted.

Another plus for this league is the fact that all coaches are certiďŹ ed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and parents feel good about their kids playing in this league. The coaches are very well qualiďŹ ed and they have learned the safe contact program.â&#x20AC;?

It takes a day and a half to learn the safe tackling strategies necessary.

Currently the Renegades are practising Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the high school in preparation for their May 8 kick-off. Their ďŹ rst home games will be played Sunday, May 24 against Kemptville. The Tykes are on at 9 a.m. followed by the Peewees at 10:45 a.m. and the Bantams at 12:30 p.m. It will wrap with the Mosquitoes on at 2:15 p.m.

Neil Doef to participate in 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

“She’s an amazing young woman,” BobbiJean says. “His high school friends – that core of friends… they come here and hang out on their spare.”

The Hendersons are hosting a Pro-Am golf tournament on June 15 at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club with half the proceeds going to Doefstrong.

“That’s pretty awesome. It’s going to be a major help and we appreciate that a lot,” Neil says, who adds that he’s going to be in attendance – possibly flipping burgers or something, he adds with a laugh.

Before his move back to Smiths Falls, Neil had been making day trips home from Ottawa. He was home for the Smiths Falls Bears Fan Appreciation Night – their final game of the season. Of the attention he’s been receiving, Neil says it’s not as nerve-racking now as it once was.

“It was hard at first, but it’s getting easier… one day at a time and see what the day brings, I guess.”

The groundswell of community support spurred a fundraising campaign dubbed Doefstrong. Since its inception, there has been hundreds of thousands of dollars donated to the young man and his family to help with his rehabilitation expenses. This fundraising campaign has raised well over $200,000.

Their new home across town, closer to Neil’s high school, is on one level and has wide open spaces for him to access via his wheelchair.

“It’s open for him and that was our main goal” in purchasing the new place, Neil’s father Bruce says. “When we were (starting to look for a new home), things weren’t great for Neil. In February, there weren’t really a lot of things on the market for what we were looking for.”

Bobbi-Jean adds, “Our options were limited and time sensitive. We knew our house couldn’t be renovated – lots of walls and lots of doorways. We just wanted to have something for Neil for when he came home and this place was available.”

The family used some of the Doefstrong funds to help with that purchase.

Neil Doef has been nominated by Metroland Media, Smiths Falls group, to participate in the 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay in his hometown this summer.

In an exclusive interview on April 30 with The Smiths Falls Record News – Neil’s first formal media interview since his spinal cord injury on Dec. 14, he said he was excited to be taking part in the run.

He admitted he was a little bit Moving home shocked to have been nominated, “but A member of the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears, Neil excited, for sure.” was in his second year with the club with a promisThe Torch Relay, which kicks off ing future in hockey.

DoEFSTRONG From page SF16

Due to the overwhelming community support in its fundraising efforts, the family was asked if they had plans to set up a foundation for others who may be in need of financial aid.

“We don’t know too much about a foundation at this point,” Bobbi-Jean says. “We know that Neil’s going to have a lot of needs going forward and we used some of (the funds raised) to purchase this home… I’m not sure what our future is as far at that goes. It’s definitely not out of the question. But absolutely, when it comes our time to pay it forward, we’ll be there.”

Neil is now able to accomplish limited assisted walking and has some independence. He is still undergoing rehab: twice a week in Ottawa (Monday and Friday) and twice a week in Smiths Falls (Tuesday and Thursday).

Doctors are happy, and astounded with Neil’s determination and tenacity to get back on his feet. That’s his main focus, Neil says.

As for schooling, Neil says he still plans to attend Princeton University in the fall of 2016. He says he’s not sure of his major, but “math and science are still big interests” for him. Currently, he’s obtaining some credits to finish off his Grade 12 diploma at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. “I haven’t been right now (at school), but maybe in the future,” he says.

There are other things on the go, he adds… a different focus – like getting back on his feet.

Neil was in Cornwall Friday, May 1 to drop the puck at the Fred Page Cup between the host Cornwall Colts and the Carleton Place Canadians. He received a warm welcome from the players.

“Familiar faces… we’re going to know some of the guys so it was easier to say yes to this one,” says Bobbi-Jean as to why Neil accepted the request.

Carleton Place went on to win the Fred Page Cup on Sunday afternoon 3-2 over the Dieppe Commandos. They are off to the RBC Cup in Manitoba this weekend.

Community support “You don’t want to take away from anybody, there are quite a lot of people to thank,” Bruce says about those who have helped Neil along this journey.

“We can’t find enough words to say thank you,” Bobbi-Jean says. “This journey would have been a lot more difficult without the support we have had. They have kept us going and kept us strong. Messages – through social media – have been incredible. Social media and this iPad (she holds up the tablet that was purchased for her, along with five

others for the family, by a family in Saskatchewan) has become a big part of me.”

She admits that she didn’t have much use for Facebook or Twitter until Neil’s recovery.

“It’s really a part of me now,” she says. “So many people have reached out to us through social media and it’s been incredible.

People we don’t even know.”

Bruce adds: “There are so many people who have helped out with no names…

Bobbi-Jean picks up that thought: “And anonymous donations are made to the Doefstrong account all the time… there is always someone to thank. And to those who we’ve forgotten to thank, thank you!”

As the “dust settles,” BobbiJean says she wants to start her home daycare business again, hopefully in June, but in the meantime, they’re remaining Doef strong.

“We’ve got this great, strong family… like Neil said, we take it one day at a time. The support is amazing and the rest of our children are all into this, too. It’s about Neil getting better and that’s the best possible recovery.”

When asked if Neil was interested in getting an accessible vehicle, he says it’s not something he’s even interested in. He didn’t even obtain his G1 license when he turned 16. He’s now 18.

He says he never had a need for a car as he just walked wherever he wanted to go – or as part of the Bears’ hockey team, he had the bus. And living only a few hundred feet from the arena, it was an easy commute for him.

“I never had much of a desire,” he says about driving.

Neil says his teammates have been making a steady path to his home and to the hospital to visit him.

“The players have been here visiting, and in the hospital visiting. The coaches too… they’ve been great,” says Neil.

“Coach Mark Grady has been awesome,” his mom says. “Mark never left his side in Saskatchewan.”

During his time in a Saskatchewan hospital up until he returned to Ottawa on Christmas Eve and right through the New Year and beyond, Neil has received numerous gifts from the community, including his most prized possession, a hockey jersey.

“World Juniors’ autographed jersey, that’s probably the coolest thing that I got, but I got a lot of other cool things as well,” Neil says, including swag from professional and amateurs around the globe.

He says he wants to keep it all as souvenirs.

Not that he needs to have mementos from that infamous day that has forever changed their

lives.

“I haven’t watched it,” Neil says of the replay video showing the on-ice collision.

“I watched it that day on television and that was all I need,” Bobbi-Jean says.

They have no plans to watch the replay… they’ve picked up and moved forward from here.

It’s been hard on their entire family.

“My dad’s been in Neil’s hockey world since day one,” Bobbi-Jean says of her father, Ernie Beaupre. “This broke his heart as it did to the rest of us.

He’s taking a different role now.

He takes us to physio because I don’t drive. He stepped into that role pretty quickly.”

“Our older kids want to be home more now, and our oldest son, (Nathan) was at Ottawa University and he was with us every day of this journey,” Bruce says.

Nathan is a recent graduate of kinesiology who has been helping Neil every day with physiotherapy.

Think positive, focus on the task and get better every day, has been Neil’s mantra. “Slowly… but it’s coming along.”

Bobbi-Jean says it’s a far cry from their original diagnosis where they feared the worst – but as for a diagnosis now, “we don’t have one.”

Bruce says the sky is the limit as to what their son will be able to accomplish, as the doctors really don’t know how far he will go.

“In talking to neurologists, they’ve shown us X-rays of people who shouldn’t be walking but they are, and at the end of the day, they’re walking… they (doctors) still haven’t figured it out. It’s nice that there’s no ceiling.”

He puts it into perspective.

“At the rehab centre you see everything,” Bruce adds. “There are people with brain damage, people with no arms or no legs… you see it all. You think, things could be worse. It’s a bit of an eye opener.”

“I used to be a firm believer in the sayings: ‘Everything happens for a reason’ or ‘What doesn’t kill us makes us strong.’ I struggle with both those right now,” Bobbi-Jean says. “I used those words a lot in the past… but not lately, you haven’t heard those words from my mouth.”

Organizers of this year’s Where’s Franktown run are encouraging anyone wishing to support Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) to lace up their running shoes and get running in whatever direction they wish.

A new virtual run option is available at the 11th annual fundraising event, Where’s Franktown.

Those interested in participating virtually can register online (http://calvary.com/events/franktown/) and select which race they will compete in. A wide variety of race lengths are available, including a 1km, 5km, 10km and 15km distance. Tom Bourne, principal at Calvary Christian Academy said he hopes the virtual option will help the event reach their 550-participant goal by removing the strain of travel. Currently, they are almost at 300 registered participants, though registration is available on the day from 8 to 9 a.m. Races begin at 9:30 a.m. (1km and 15km), 10 a.m. (10 km), and 10:10 a.m. (5 km).

“We live in such a busy culture people don’t plan month by month. It’s a great way to support our event if you can’t come,” Bourne said.

Proceeds from the annual fundraiser goes to supporting the CCA and its students by funding education bursaries. CCA is a private education facility and does not receive government support in any way. Bourne said last year, the school handed out 10 bursaries at a cost of almost $40,000. In exchange for this invaluable community support, CCA students are required to volunteer in some capacity for the run be it on the day, by taking part in the race or providing items for the barbeque that is available for all at the Franktown school.

“It’s good for them to take some ownership of their schooling,” Bourne said.

The annual event recruits at least 100 volunteers who are on hand the day of to help in the smooth

operation of the race. Spectators are most welcome to bring their lawn chairs and take in the race event alongside participants and volunteers. Bourne said the annual race has become a great community event for the village, and is an opportunity to meet up with neighbours after a cold winter.

“You don’t have to be intimidated. It’s a nice mix race,” Bourne said.

CCA began 18 years ago with a mission of providing quality, Christian education in a private school setting. Bourne said the school has always looked to the province’s posted curriculum as a guide, but adds: “We work hard to even exceed them.”

Grade 9 addition That is the objective this coming fall when CCA introduces Grade 9 classes for students. This is the first time the school has entered into the high school curriculum, and signals the first of annual growth for the school who anticipates graduating their first secondary school class in 2019.

“We’re excited. We feel the need is there,” Bourne said.

The school plans to add a grade each year until they serve pre-kindergarten to Grade 12. Such annual growth will mean growth in the student population as well, which sits at 140 this year. Plans to build a separate high school building adjacent to the existing CCA school is in the works in the next couple of years.

“CCA started with six children [18 years ago] and now we have 140,” Bourne said.

A meeting this Thursday, May 7 will be held for interested parents of the Grade 9 program. Bourne said this new addition will make them the only private school option for high school in the county.

Prior to this, those wishing a private education had to travel to Ottawa. For more information on the school and its programming, please go to www. calvaryca.com.

Henderson finishes 13 at LPGA event A tough stretch of holes on the front nine on Sunday dropped Smiths Falls’ Brooke Henderson out of contention at the Volunteers of America North Texas Shootout.

But despite going out in 40 (+4) and seeing her drop more than 20 spots from a tie for first after the second hole, the talented teen fought back with a solid back nine. She finished the championship at 278 (-6), good for a tie for 13th place, earning $19,919 in the process.

“It was just a couple of holes on the front nine just sort of got me, and bogey, double bogey, and after that I knew that I had just had to keep grinding it out and try and get the best finish that I could,” she said following her round on Sunday.

“And I’m proud of the way I played on the Back 9 because it was tough out there, and I made a lot of up‑and‑downs to save par and was able to make birdie on 10 and birdie on 18.”

Henderson has been the talk of the Tour the past couple of weeks, being in contention to win both the Swinging Skirts and the North Texas Shootout despite not being a member of the LPGA. She received a sponsor’s exemption last weekend (where she finished third) and earned one of the two spots from the Monday qualifier in Texas.

After such a busy past couple of weeks, she says she’s looking forward to a week off during which she’ll caddy for her sister Brittany at this week’s Symetra Tour stop, something she says

she enjoys doing.

“I’m excited to sort of go and relax a little bit while I caddy for my sister in South Carolina,” she said. “It’s fun. It’s really, really different. But I know her game, she knows mine, so I love having her on the bag. And I enjoy caddying for her, too. It’s easy to work on my mental game because I have to visualize the shot before she does, so I’m always trying to use it as a learning experience.”

Having had the opportunity to play in groups with such LPGA legends as Juli Inkster, Inbee Park and Morgan Pressel has also been great learning experiences as well these last two tournaments.

“Every time I’m out here I’m learning lots, and being with those great players,” she said. “I’m watching them, learning and I’m learning a lot about myself, too, which is always important.”

Brooke hopes to get a sponsor invite to the Kingsmill Championship presented by JTBC in a couple of weeks but will attempt to qualify next Monday if that doesn’t come through. She already has entry to the ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer May 29-31 and the Manulife LPGA Classic in Cambridge, Ont., June 4-7.

“ShopRite and Manulife are pretty close to home, compared to a lot of the other tournaments during the season, so I’ll have a lot of family and friends’ support and I’m just really excited to get back out there.”

Safety Info for Home, Cottage and reCreatIon A message from your Leeds Grenville Fire Prevention Committee Smoke Alarms

Carbon Monoxide Safety Tips

Ontario law requires that working smoke alarms be loacted on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas.

Failure to comply with the Fire Code smoke alarm requirements could result in a ticket for $360. or a fine up to $50,000 for individuals or $100,000 for corporations.

• test smoke alarms monthly • change the battery in each smoke alarm once a year or whenever the low-battery warning sounds • vacuum the exterior of the smoke alarm using the soft bristle attachment on the vacuum cleaner • replace smoke alarms that are more than ten years old • always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing, testing and maintaining smoke alarms

Carbon Monoxide Alarms are the law.

Often called the silent killer, carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, and methane) burn incompletely. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel can be sources of carbon monoxide.

Failure to comply with the Fire Code carbon monoxide alarm requirements could result in a ticket for $360 or a fine up to $50,000 for individuals or $100,000 for corporations.

Make Your BBQ a Sizzling Success Few things can match the fun and enjoyment of a barbecue with family and friends. Practice sensible, safe barbecuing and your summer get together will be a sizzling success.

Season Opener

At the start of the BBQ season, do this three-step safety check of your BBQ: 1. Clean: Use a pipe cleaner or wire to ensure burner ports are free of rust, dirt, spider webs or other debris.

2. Check: Examine the hose leading from the tank to the burners. Replace if cracked or damaged.

3. Test: Find leaks by applying a 50/50 solution of water and dish soap to propane cylinder connections and hoses.

If bubbles appear, tighten the connection and/or replace the damaged parts and retest.

Do’s and Don’ts for handling a BBQ DO… • keep loose clothing away from a hot barbecue • keep children and pets at a safe distance • turn gas valve off first when finished, then turn off the burner controls, so no gas is left in the connecting hose • allow the BBQ to cool completely before closing the cover DO NOT… • leave the BBQ unattended when in use • allow grease to build up on the burners or at the base of the barbecue as this could cause a grease fire • throw water on a grease fire – this will only spread the flame • position your barbecue too close to wooden fences or walls. Make sure the area behind your BBQ is free of combustible material, since this is where hot gases escape

Generator Safety • Generators should be used in well ventilated locations outside away from doors, windows and vent openings.

• Never use a generator in an attached garage • Place generators so that exhaust fumes can’t enter the home through doors, windows or vents.

• Make sure to install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your home.

• Turn off generators and let them cool down before refueling.

• Never refuel a generator while it is running.

• Store fuel in a container that is intended for and is correctly labeled. Store containers outside of living areas.

• CO alarms should be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home and in other locations where required by applicable laws, codes or standards. For the best protection, interconnect all CO alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound.

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for placement and mounting height.

• Choose a CO alarm that has the label of a recognized testing laboratory.

• Call your local fire department’s non-emergency number to find out what number to call if the CO alarm sounds.

• Test CO alarms at least once a month; replace them according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• If the audible trouble signal sounds, check for low batteries.

If the battery is low, replace it. If it still sounds, call the fire department.

• If the CO alarm sounds, immediately move to a fresh air location outdoors or by an open window or door. Make sure everyone inside the home is accounted for. Call for help from a fresh air location and stay there until emergency personnel.

Have your applainces checked annually, including woodstove and fireplace chimneys. For more carbon monoxide information log onto www.tssa.org.

Campfires Check with your local fire department, municipality, or Ministry of Natural Resources to determine whether open air burning is permitted before having a campfire or burning brush. If open burning is allowed, fires should be built on bare soil or on exposed rock. Remove leaves and twigs from around the fire to keep it from spreading. Always keep a bucket of water, sand, or even a shovel close by and supervise the fire at all times.

• Never build a campfire on a windy day. Sparks or embers from the fire could travel quite a distance setting an unintentional fire.

• Watch the wind direction to ensure sparks aren’t getting on flammable materials. Put the fire out if wind changes begin to cause concern.

• Use crumpled paper and/or kindling to start a fire rather than flammable liquids.

• Don’t burn garbage. The deadly toxins produced may cause illness to you and your neighbours.

• Never leave campfires unattended. Closely supervise children while roasting marshmallows.

• Teach children how to STOP, DROP and ROLL should their clothing catch on fire. Teach children to cool a burn with running water for 3–5 minutes.
