Car show returns to Lombardy fair grounds

Conflict of interest raised as Police Task Force begins to form

STAFF

It’s an old tradition as old as some of the cars that roll through the Lombardy Fair Grounds on the May 23-24 weekend.

This year marks the 50th year that the Rideau Lakes Region Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada will host their annual flea market, craft sale (on Saturday and Sunday) and antique and collector car show (Sunday) with lots of activities happening throughout the weekend.

The event benefits Camp Quality in Lanark. It’s a camp that offers respite for children with cancer.

The weekend’s flea market will take place over the two days and will highlight automotive and auto-related items, with vendor spaces inside and out covering more than 120,000 square feet of space.

Justin Kerr, Sara Hammel and Colleen Purdy push fellow co-worker, Helen Latimer-Hannah in the May 8 Lanark County Mental Health games at the Gerry Lowe Memorial Sens rink. The foursome are from the Harm Reduction team and so called themselves the Harm-chair Reduction Featuring the Potheads. The races capped off a great Mental Health Week in the county.

Does sitting on the town’s Police Services Board (PSB) represent a conflict of interest for councillors wishing to be part of the new Police Task Force, which is being formed to look at existing and alternative methods of policing?

This is the question town staff will investigate and bring back to a special committee of the whole meeting next Tuesday, May 19.

“The task force is going to have a very large responsibility to be totally independent and objective,” Mayor Shawn Pankow said.

Councillor Joe Gallipeau was the first to bring forward the question of conflict of interest, as PSB members are given an annual payment for services rendered. However, Coun.

Chris Cummings vehemently disagrees with this point of view, saying the PSB will exist regardless of the Task Force outcome and so conflict of interest isn’t present.

“I’ll make that decision if I feel it’s a conflict,” he said, noting traditionally it is the council member who makes this determination.

The Police Task Force is being formed with four objectives: 1. To conduct a service sustainability review of the existing policing model to identify efficiency improvements.

2. To conduct a feasibility analysis of expanding the Smiths Falls Police Service to neighbouring municipalities.

3. To examine an integrated model of policing delivered by another provider including the Ontario Provincial Police, a new regional police service, or an existing provider in eastern Ontario.

country,” for his top-down management style, his omnibus legislation, his lack of action on climate change, and other criticisms, he also appeared to have lost patience with federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau.

“Mr. Trudeau was making some very poor decisions,” said Fenik.

One was Trudeau’s decision to tell MPs and prospective candidates that, if they were pro-life, that he would not sign their nomination papers. “I am pro-choice,” said See FENIK page 5

Perth Mayor John Fenik sent shockwaves through the political world this week when the lifelong Liberal announced that he was going to be seeking the federal nomination for the New Democratic Party.

“I spent a lot of time thinking about this venture,” said Fenik, during a telephone interview this past Tuesday morning. “I talked to some key people in my life about it. I knew it was going to surprise a lot of people and be a bit of a shocker. (But) I needed to go where my heart takes me.”

He made his decision midApril, when he put his name in to be vetted as a possible NDP candidate – following courting local New Democrats, and several phone calls from Ottawa Centre NDP MP Paul Dewar.

Dewar, who is the official opposition’s foreign affairs critic, is also party leader Tom Mulcair’s point man for eastern Ontario, and, according to Fenik, was in contact with Mulcair’s office about potentially landing this star candidate.

“After speaking with him (Dewar), I felt comfortable,” said Fenik.

The nomination meeting will be held at the Crystal Palace in Perth on Saturday, May 30, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., with Dewar slated to be the guest speaker for what appears to be Fenik’s acclamation as candidate.

“There will be no other candidates,” said Fenik, who will face off against incumbent Conservative MP Scott Reid, Liberal candidate Phillipe Archambault, and Green Party candidate Anita Payne for the Oct. 19 vote in the new Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding.

Fenik had toyed with the idea of running for the Liberal nomination in late 2013, even attending the party convention in Montreal. But he decided to run for another term as Perth mayor instead, and Archambault won the nomination with Fenik’s endorsement.

However, there were disagreements within the Liberal ranks, with Fenik acting as Archambault’s campaign manager. There had been rumours swirling that Fenik had been fired from this post, but he countered that “I don’t know if fired is the right word.

We had a disagreement with how the campaign should be run. He felt it should go in the other way. Archambault lost some major players on his campaign then when I left.”

But Fenik hastened to add that his decision to seek the NDP nomination was not made out of spite.

“It wasn’t, ‘Oh, I want to get Phillipe Archambault, to get him back,’” said Fenik, adding that he did not want to sit out the 2015 vote “on the sidelines.”

He later said that Archambault, now his opponent in the race, has “his heart in the right place,” and even called Reid “a good, decent man.”

Even though the NDP came in second in the riding in 2011, some of this was attributed to ripples from the Orange Crush caused by the late NDP leader Jack Layton, and Fenik is realistic about the NDP’s chances in the area.

“There’s a big nut to crack here, a big mountain to climb,” he said. “We have no money.”

Even though they might not be able to afford it anyway, Fenik promised that there would be no “robocalls,” from his campaign, that he would instead run a lean, visible campaign.

“I think that people are ready for a change,” he said.

His decision may mean that, already, change will be coming to Perth town council – albeit temporarily.

When he was toying with the idea of a federal run for the Liberals in 2014, he said he would serve out the end of his term as mayor but would not run for re-election in last October’s municipal elections, were he to win the nomination.

However, the political landscape has changed since he was returned to office by acclamation, and with his pending retirement from the Upper Canada District School Board in June.

He said he would “focus all my energies on the election campaign,” during the “writ period,” from September to October.

“I will not utilize resources in the mayor’s office,” said Fenik, saying that he will “step away from that (mayor’s) job,” temporarily, to be relieved of his duties, with Deputy Mayor John Gemmell acting in his stead.

While he said he was not a fan of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, criticizing “the direction he has taken the

Jury rules 2012 quarry death of Smiths Falls man accidental Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

After a day of testimony, a coroner’s inquest has revealed the Oct. 29, 2012 death of Smiths Falls area native Joe Drummond at an Elizabethtown-Kitley quarry to be an accident.

A five-person jury was assembled to make a ruling in the public inquest, held May 8 at the Brockville courthouse. Father of two, Drummond, 30, a supervisor with G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction Co. Ltd., was attempting to fold a piece of equipment known as a stacker at Woods Quarry (5436 Woods Road off County Road 29), when it collapsed on his chest. The stacker, a conveyorlike piece of machinery, is used in rock crushing.

While ruling Drummond’s death accidental, the jury did make a single recommendation for the construction company: to always follow Ministry of Labour legislation to ensure the safety of its workers. Tackaberry, which operates more than 30 pits and quarries

throughout the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville region, was fined $110,000 by the ministry back in 2013 for not ensuring the stacker was properly blocked.

Drummond’s parents, Ken and Judy Drummond, were in attendance at the May 8 inquest, as was his widow, Ceili.

“We found out what we needed to know and hopefully (today’s inquest) will keep it from happening again someplace,” Ken said.

Seven witnesses in total provided testimony during the proceedings, which were presided over by coroner, Dr. Gordon Watt. Crown attorney Claudette Breault served as the coroner’s counsel, while Alan Whyte represented Tackaberry. All parties encouraged the jury to declare the incident an accident, with Watt indicating “there’s no reason not to find that this was an accident.”

“There’s evidence here that unfortunately, a mistake was made in not protecting the situation that occurred...but you have heard that there is legislation that can be used, so if you can’t come up with a situation to change legislation,

then you look at the workplace,” he continued. “And as far as the company’s concerned, it looks like it has solved the problem since this so it won’t happen again.”

Tackaberry employees Dave McManus and Phillip Vanderlinden were at the quarry site with Drummond on the day of the incident. Just before 5 p.m. that afternoon, McManus, who has been a season worker with Tackaberry for 20 years, had originally been tasked with folding the mobile stacker, to be transported to another job site, when it wouldn’t close completely.

“I walked over to get Joe and he said I’d have to take the pins out (of the stacker) because it wouldn’t fold down,”

McManus recounted. “...He said ‘Go get the loader, I’ll do it.’”

McManus drove the front-end loader over to where the stacker was positioned near the centre of the quarry and raised Drummond up in the bucket to the level of the stacker, approximately 15 feet, where he began to attempt to manually lower the equipment. Unable to see him due to the obstruction of the bucket, McManus “assumed Joe was knocking out the pins and saw oil running down the stacker” and heard the hiss of air as the hydraulics failed on the stacker.

Seeing his co-worker trapped, McManus immediately called 911 and ran over to Vanderlinden to help. Asked by counsel to the coroner, Claudette

Breault, if there was anything McManus could have done, he said, “No, I couldn’t lift it. It was quite a bit of weight.”

As they waited for emergency personnel to arrive, McManus and Vanderlinden climbed on to the loader’s bucket to talk with their friend “for any comfort we could give Joe.” He was pronounced dead at the scene.

In his testimony to the jury, forensic pathologist Dr. Christopher Milroy determined Drummond died of crush asphyxia. His examination of the victim showed he was in good health, but his head and neck regions were congested with blood, consistent with his cause of See INQUEST page 5

legislature, the first Quebec premier to do so in about 50 years – but it was not done in a “diplomatic fashion”, as Hillier put it, calling it instead “a pretext for partisan politics.” While the Progressive Conservatives were part of the unanimous consent needed for Couillard to speak, he felt it was done “to distract from our leadership race.”

Brown was afforded an opportunity to reply to Couillard’s speech, and “he turned the tables decisively.”

Hillier said he was a long-time critic of former leader Tim Hudak, and predecessors like John Tory, who, “for too long…(had been using) a top-down approach,” when “substantial policy got announced without the knowledge of caucus or members…He (Brown) understands fully what needs to happen.”

MacLaren’s gambit pays off Sometimes politics is about being in the right place at the right time – and MacLaren was one of only five MPPs to endorse Brown’s run for the leadership, back in January, when it was a much more crowded field.

“I considered Patrick very carefully before I supported him,” said MacLaren, during a telephone interview on See BROWN page 7

New Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown has won both Lanark County ridings in convincing style.

The Barrie MP, who beat WhitbyOshawa MPP Christine Elliott in her second try for the party leadership, won Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington by 55.587 per cent to Elliott’s 44.413 per cent. Meanwhile, Brown’s win was even wider in Carleton-Mississippi Mills, where he took 68.421 per cent of the vote to Elliott’s 31.579 per cent, according to numbers released by the party at the Toronto Congress Centre this past Saturday, May 9.

While Elliott had overwhelming caucus support at Queen’s Park, CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren endorsed Brown back in January. Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier did not endorse any candidate in the race. Hillier reported that turnout in his riding was consistent with turnout across eastern Ontario, at more than 60 per cent. He boasted that his riding had more polling stations than any other riding, at six, including three in Lanark County (Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Perth), alone, and that the

what their members were telling them,” said Hillier, during a telephone interview from his Queen’s Park office in Toronto on Monday afternoon. “It is important that you stay in touch.”

Asked if there were some sheepish faces in the Tory caucus room that Monday, Hillier would only say “I would think that would be the case.”

In speaking with Brown over the weekend, he indicated to Hillier that there would be no major shakeups in the Tory ranks between now and the start of the summer recess on June 4, including shaking up the shadow cabinet.

He did indicate, however, that he would resign his federal seat by Wednesday, May 13, but no decision had been made if a Tory MPP would step aside for Brown to run in their place, as happened to Ernie Eves in 2002 and John Tory in 2005.

Hillier commended Brown’s inaugural speech as leader last Saturday, for its “message of change and reform that resounded across the province.”

Hillier said he remained neutral because “I thought it was important for the membership of the party to listen and speak,” which they did in “resounding fashion.”

That morning, Quebec Premier Phillipe Couillard addressed the Ontario

death as blood couldn’t circulate due to his injuries.

“This is a common appearance in people who have been crushed,” he explained.

Three large indentations across Drummond’s chest, broken ribs, bruising on his arms and thighs, were also observed. Toxicology reports found that drugs and alcohol did not contribute to his death.

McManus said Tackaberry has instituted additional safety

measures since the incident, including altering the stacker so it no longer requires workers to manually lower it before folding, as well as using a ‘spotter’ on site when working around machinery and equipping workers with harnesses.

According to Ministry of Labour engineer Steven MacDonald, the oil McManus saw running down the stacker was hydraulic oil. The day after the incident, MacDonald was at the scene to inspect the machinery and noted the air hissing heard

by McManus is easily explained as well.

“What I believe happened is that a 90-degree fitting on top of the hydraulic cylinder (of the stacker) was broken. The deceased may have stepped on the fitting with his foot or slipped, striking the fitting, causing the conveyer to close,” he explained, noting that these fittings are not designed to withstand the weight of a human.

MacDonald did say if proper blocking procedures had been observed, as is legislated by the min-

Fenik, but he took exception to Trudeau insisting that people leave their “spirituality at the door,” if they wanted to run for his party. He also chastised Trudeau for “the whole Eve Adams thing,” when the controversial Conservative MP, who was barred from running for the ruling party for inappropriate antics while seeking a party nomination, was welcomed with open arms by the Liberals. He also lambasted Trudeau for supporting Bill C-51, the government’s antiterrorism legislation.

“He didn’t stand up on C-51,” said Fenik, though he hastened to add that “there is a place for terrorists in the very depths of hell.”

“I was waiting for Mr. Trudeau to get into the driver’s seat and lead, and he didn’t,” said Fenik. However, he stressed the Liberal party still contained “energetic, fantastic people. I have life-long friends (in the party.)”

The NDP has long had ties to organized labour, and recently, the town’s unionized workers, who are represented by OPSEU (Ontario Public Sector Employees Union), narrowly agreed Desmond Devoy/METROLAND to a new, three-year contract.

Calm before the storm: Perth Mayor John Fenik has a quiet OPSEU called the town’s final moment during a town council committee-of-the-whole offer “disappointing.”

The inquest into Drummond’s death is mandatory under the Ontario Coroner’s Act. Watt noted that incidents involving deaths in custody, deaths in mining and construction accidents automatically trigger an inquest.

“Whenever you are going to enter a machine where the machine may move due to gravity, there is legislation that says you must block it to prevent its motion... the employer should have provided some sort of blocking so that wouldn’t happen.”

BROWN From page 4

Tuesday, May 12. “I am very happy. I think Patrick Brown was the best candidate and that is why I backed him.

He has the vision and the Canadian values to lead us into the election of 2018.”

He said that Brown’s success could be attributed to the fact that “he works very, very hard…in straightforward language,” said MacLaren. He pointed out that Brown visited northern Ontario nine times during his leadership race.

“We got tremendous support in an area where we have no support at all,” said MacLaren, who served as Brown’s campaign co-chair.

Another outreach campaign that paid off for Brown, which MacLaren witnessed for himself, was following in the footsteps of now Defence Minister Jason Kenney, and made inroads with ethnic communities like the Chinese, Indian and Tamil peoples. “(He) just showed up and talked to them,” he said. “Spending the time, listening to the people there, understanding what their needs and wants were.”

MacLaren is well-known member and supporter of the Ontario Landowners Association. Having won the endorsement of “The Great One,” Wayne Gretzky, and as a major hockey fan himself, an NHL friend of Brown gave him the use of his private

jet to visit various landowner groups around the province – with MacLaren in tow.

Over two days in February, they hit southwestern and central Ontario.

“What an experience that was,” said MacLaren. It was on that trip that he got to witness Brown’s hard-working nature. It would be 9 p.m., and “I’d be tired out and he would go on to the next meeting,” he said.

MacLaren is known for his libertarian views, and just minutes after Brown’s victory was announced, the Liberals were already handing out press releases attacking what they saw as his social conservative values on issues like sex education and abortion. Some in the media have already

linked MacLaren’s skepticism on climate change to Brown, and MacLaren does admit that “I find him to be a like-minded person.”

But while social conservatives – thanks in part to the endorsement of former leadership candidate Monte McNaughton – may have partially propelled Brown to the leader’s office, Brown has told MacLaren that, on issues like abortion, “those issues have been settled on,” and that he is more interested in dealing with issues like Ontario’s debt and deficit. High energy prices are also “driving away jobs from Ontario,” said MacLaren, and the Liberals’ proposed cap-andtrade carbon emissions system is “another tax on the consumer, who is

just tapped right out. Taxes don’t help people, they hurt people.”

MacLaren took a different tack to Hillier on Couillard’s speech, the first by a Quebec premier to the Ontario legislature since Jean Lesage in the 1960s. When Couillard mentioned that his party was balancing Quebec’s books, he admitted that “I didn’t know that,” and that this was coming from a Liberal government.

Brown is scheduled to make a visit to the area on Saturday, June 20, when he is due to attend MacLaren’s barn dance at his home, 375 MacLaren Side Rd. at Woodlawn in West Carleton. The dance is a fundraiser for a planned “Abilities Centre” for people with disabilities in Ottawa.

He slid to the end of the drive shed like a fox going into the hen house and saw that Father had gone on to other chores.

I knew without asking that he was planning something. He had that look about him that he always got when his mind was churning. He asked his much younger brother Terry to come and stand beside the barrel. Terry did exactly as he was told. His golden curls came just to the rim.

putting his little hands on the barrel as if Ronny couldn’t roll it without him.

He was heading for the gully that led to the creek. I had no idea what he had in mind, but I knew perfectly well, with his mind, it was some dastardly trick that we would pay dearly for later.

You would have thought I had learned my lesson from previous antics and simply walked away. Hadn’t experience taught me that every time Ronny got into trouble I got into trouble too?

The barrel was gathering speed, as it wobbled from side to side down into the gully, with Ronny in hot pursuit. I was sure he was going to try to float it on the Bonnechere. But he headed right for the West Hill with little Terry trying to keep up to him.

It was a hard push, and by the time we reached the top of the hill, the perspiration was pouring off Ronny’s face. He was chewing us out for not helping him push the barrel. I still had no idea what he was up to.

But I didn’t have to wait long. He got down on one knee and looked over the top of the barrel down the hill.

He told Terry, who was too young to know any better, to crawl in the barrel that he had a real treat in store for him. Terry who thought

An additional threat is the unfettered surveillance powers that continue to be handed to CSIS, the RCMP and other government agencies.

This is not new, of course.

In the process of researching C-51, I discovered that Perth and Sharbot Lake were on the federal government’s national security radar in 2007.

As was revealed last fall in documents released by Public Safety Canada, the Government Operations Centre, allegedly created to monitor events of national concern related to the safety and security of Canadians, collected details on more than 800 demonstrations beginning in January 2006. This lengthy list of peaceful protests – the very kind we were assured during C-51 hearings are not supposed to be spied upon – indicates which government department is making a report to the central

a treat meant candy or ice cream, did exactly what he was told. And then the picture of what Ronny had in mind unfolded right before my eyes. He was going to send Terry careening down the West Hill in Father’s brand new 50-cent barrel!

Terry crawled in head first, and Ronny told him to put his knees under his chin. He was tiny enough to do it.

And then Ronny gave the barrel a mighty shove and it went careening down the hill. There wasn’t a murmur from the barrel and I was sure wee Terry had died of fright. But the worst was yet to come. The barrel was not going in a straight line, but it was traveling like a speeding bullet.

I yelled that if it hit the Bonnecherre Terry would drown. But it was heading right for the big maple tree and there was nothing to save it from the crash that followed.

It split into a million pieces and Terry lay there as if he was dead. We tore down the hill and Ronny said the barrel did exactly what he thought it would do, but that he was a little off on his figuring.

He said he figured it should have missed the tree.

Terry crawled off the mess of splintered barrel staves and it looked like he didn’t have a scratch on him.

It was a long time since I saw Father so mad, he was

Readers will recall that peaceful protests were occurring in 2007 against uranium mining on Algonquin territory, and while they were informative, good-natured, and ultimately effective, two of them (July 8 in Perth and July 13 in Sharbot Lake) were deemed dangerous enough to make it onto the government’s big list of national security concerns.

Perhaps Scott Reid would do better to find out why the Government of Canada was spying on peaceful Perth residents, which seems to me a far greater threat to our security than his bogeyman of terrorists under every bed.

Meanwhile, under C-51, will this letter, along with Mr. Long’s, join the Government Operations Centre clippings file under “thought crime”?

swearing in German, chewing on his pipe, and making a grab for Ronny. There was no saving the 50-cent barrel.

It would join the kindling in the wood box in the summer kitchen.

Since I had nothing to do with the caper, I thought it was mighty unjust that I was punished along with Ronny

for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Junior A hockey team brings great pride to Carleton Place community Reflections

By Jeff maguire

mark going 12-3 in the playoffs and defeating Pembroke Lumber Kings, the most successful franchise in league history, in five games in the CCHL championship final.

Quite an accomplishment considering there were 13 player changes this season.

But head coach, general manager and owner Jason Clarke has proven time and again that he is an excellent recruiter.

Aided by his scouts and assistant coaches Clarke filled the available slots with some outstanding replacements. The result is another league championship, an unprecedented second consecutive Eastern Canadian title and a second straight berth in the national finals.

They had to work even harder at the Fred Page Cup this season. Last year, when the event was played in St. Jerome, Quebec (a Montreal suburb) Carleton Place was a perfect 4-0. The 2015 tournament was hosted by league rival Cornwall Colts, the same team Canadians defeated in six games in this year’s CCHL semi-finals. Canadians went 3-1 this time. Their only loss was a onegoal decision to the host Colts in the final round-robin game, a contest that meant nothing to either side. Canadians had already earned a bye to the final while Colts had fallen out of contention.

Clarke sat five of his best players in anticipation of the championship game on Sunday, May 3.

Coach thrilled It was a good strategy. Carleton Place needed all the strength and endurance they could muster to edge Dieppe (New Brunswick) Commandos, the Maritime champions, 3-2 in a thrilling Fred Page

final.

Clarke is understandably elated. “I kinda have to pinch myself sometimes to believe all of this has happened the last two years,” he told me last week.

“I feel so blessed to be able to raise my family as well as own and coach a Junior A team in my hometown. It’s a dream come true,” the veteran hockey man says.

“Being surrounded by so many good people in this organization is what makes this (championships) so special.

It really is a team effort.”

There are 129 Junior A teams in 10 leagues, from coast-to-coast, that fall under the jurisdiction of the Calgarybased Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL). For two straight seasons Canadians have earned the right to play in the final group of five teams that competes annually for the RBC trophy.

It’s a tall order but Carleton Place is hoping to finish the job they came so close to completing last May in Vernon, British Columbia. Canadians made it all the way to the national title game against Yorkton (Saskatchewan) Terriers. They were leading 3-1 with less than three minutes remaining in regulation time.

But Yorkton struck for two goals in just eight seconds to force overtime.

I was watching the game on TSN. Yorkton’s tying goal came so quickly after their second that I thought it was a replay. Unfortunately it was live. And in the extra session it was Yorkton who came up with the winning goal to break Carleton Place hearts.

Still, an outstanding achievement by any standard and for a small town having the main sports team earn a place on the national stage is extremely significant.

At the Junior A level players compete for university and college scholarships at major institutions south of the border.

Many of Canadians’ star players have already earned scholarships and some are headed to major universities this fall to combine education and hockey.

The same is true of many teams in the CCHL. Eventually a number of the best

will play professional hockey. The list of graduates from this league who have gone on to successful careers in the National Hockey League is lengthy. In fact the two divisions, Robinson and Yzerman, are named in honour of CCHL graduates Larry Robinson and Steve Yzerman who went on to Hall of Fame careers with the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings, respectively.

Players from across the continent vie

to play in the CCHL. It is a well-run league with many longstanding franchises. The hockey is fast, competitive and exciting. The last CCHL entry to win the RBC was Pembroke in 2011.

What is especially nice about this league is that hometown players also have a chance to excel and compete at a high level. A good example is Carleton See TEAM page 23

When you read this the round-robin portion of the Royal Bank Cup (RBC) Canadian Junior A hockey championship tournament will be wrapping up in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, west of Winnipeg. The semi-finals will be played Saturday with the winners advancing to the national championship game on Sunday, May 17 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. The final will be broadcast live on TSN. One of the competing teams is from our region. Carleton Place Canadians of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) have enjoyed another marvelous season. In just their sixth campaign in the more than 50-year-old loop Carleton Place captured their second consecutive Bogart-Nielsen Cup (league championship trophy). They then went on to claim the Fred Page Cup Eastern Canadian Junior A championship becoming the first team in the 21-year history of the tournament to win backto-back titles.

Canadians definitely got off on the right foot at the nationals. In their RBC tournament opener Saturday they blanked Soo Thunderbirds, the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and Dudley Hewitt Cup champions, by a 4-0 score. They followed that up Sunday with a 3-0 shutout win over hosts and pre-tournament favourite Portage Terriers. Carleton Place goalie Guillaume Therien became the first net minder in 20 years to start the RBC tournament with back-to-back shutouts.

Although Canadians did not equal last year’s truly incredible regular season, during which they set new CCHL benchmarks with a 54-6-1-1 record and 110 points, the club still did it in style in 2014-2015. Carleton Place again topped the magical 100-point mark with a sparkling 49-10-2-1 record and 101 points.

They were the best team in the 12team loop both seasons and their success continued in the playoffs. Last season they went 12-4 in the post-season, defeating near neighbours and arch-rival Smiths Falls Bears in five games in the final. This season they improved on that

Be a road hero: The way you drive can save lives Pssstt… ordinary motorist. You there, ferrying your kids to soccer, you over there, trying to get to work on time, and you too, just out running errands. We have a special mission for you. It could save a life. Do you accept?

This National Road Safety Week, May 12-18, the Canada Safety Council is reminding motorists that the way we drive can save lives.

Over the last three decades, the rate of fatalities among vehicle occupants has been dropping steadily, but much less progress has been made in the protection of “vulnerable road users” – pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. In 2012, the latest year for which statistics are available, vulnerable road users accounted for more than one in four of the 2,077 fatalities recorded on Canadian roads.

As the weather warms, more people are on the roads, including more children and seniors, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists. In the summer months, fatal collisions are more likely.

The road system is in need of heroes.

If you’re a driver, that hero could be you.

ing cause of collisions in Canada. Any collision with a vulnerable road user has the potential to be deadly. Let the calls and texts wait, you’re on important business! Turn off your electronic devices or lock your cell phone in the glove compartment if you have difficulty resisting the temptation to text or check your notifications while driving. Remember, hands-free is not risk-free.

• Be on the lookout. Always scan ahead for pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, which can be difficult to spot. Be especially vigilant around intersections, and when making turns. Do not let your guard drop after you’ve stopped your car – develop the habit of shoulder checking before opening vehicle doors to avoid dooring someone who may be passing on foot or two-wheels.

• Remain calm and courteous. Everyone is trying to get somewhere. Be especially patient with children and the elderly who may have more difficulty judging the timing and speed of traffic.

• Check your speed. When the roads are filled with speed demons, it takes a real hero with bravery to stick to the speed limit. Your decision to drive at or below the speed limit can empower othHow to drive like a hero: ers to do the same. Every kilometre over • Focus. Distracted driving and increases stopping distance and reduces driver inattention are becoming a lead- your effective field of vision. When the

Catholic school board hosts inaugural health, wellness student conference The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) hosted the inaugural CDSBEO Health and Wellness Student Conference on April 21. The event was an opportunity to bring together senior students registered in the Specialist High Skills Major Health and Wellness program, with community partners for an unprecedented day of learning.

Keynote speaker Patrick Dion, vice chair on the board of directors for the Mental Health Commission of Canada, opened the morning with an inspiring keynote regarding the importance of mental health awareness, and stigma.

“The stigma of mental illness is bigotry by any definition. And who should stand for bigotry? Not I, and certainly, not you,” Dion explained.

“Mental illness dashes the dreams of many, but particularly the dreams of young Canadians who must adjust to coping with their harsh new reality… but one must remember that strength of character, and the unwavering support of family can undoubtedly help overcome even the most difficult of life’s challenges.”

Following Dion, the CHEO YouthNet Team delivered an informative and interactive presentation which draws on research data to engage students in a discussion about healthy coping strategies and positive mental health. A collective discussion around stigma, as well as various other men-

tal health issues such as depression and anxiety helped students become familiar with some common mental health topics. The discussion encouraged future action within the community and in potential career pathways.

During the conference, a volunteer, career, and post-secondary fair was available for students to explore opportunities for graduates in eastern Ontario. For the afternoon, students were able to attend two breakout sessions, which delivered a variety of hands-on experiential learning and certification/training options that meet many of the diploma requirements for the health and wellness program.

Sessions included topics such as athletic taping, sign language, coaching principles, body image and nutrition, infection control, managing stress, suicide awareness, patient transfer, fitness, and yoga, among others.

The event offered an outstanding array of learning opportunities for those in attendance, and helped to support the larger mental health initiatives currently happening in the CDSBEO. The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario operates 40 elementary and 10 secondary schools across eight counties. The CDSBEO offers excellence in Catholic education through provincial-leading programs to approximately 12,800 students.

weather warms and the roads are dry, more children are outside. Stick to the speed limit, and you could save a life. A small difference in travelling speed can be the difference between life and death when it comes to collisions with vulnerable road users.

Leave lots of space. Remember that anyone on two wheels is able to brake much more quickly than a car. They may also need to swerve around gravel or potholes, so always leave lots of space between your vehicle and cyclists or motorcyclists. When passing a cyclist, slow down and leave a minimum of one-metre berth. If possible, change lanes. If there is insufficient room in the lane to maintain a respectful distance, stay back, and wait until you can pass safely.

• If you’re in the market for a new car, consider purchasing one with an advanced collision avoidance system or a model that is equipped with pedestrian protections like popup hoods.

• Say no to “bull bars” or grill guards.

These rigid metal bars are often added to vehicles for aesthetic reasons, but they significantly increase the severity of injuries to vulnerable road users in the event of a crash.

While traffic calming and automated photo enforcement may be frustrating to some motorists, remember that these measures do ultimately reduce the number and severity of injuries.

Take fewer car trips. Join the active transport revolution by taking more trips on foot, bicycle and public transit. One less car on the road makes the road that much safer for everyone.

It’s true vulnerable road users who are hurt on the road are more likely to be the young or elderly, and may be inexperienced, distracted, or unschooled in the rules of the road, but the fact remains that most fatal collisions are caused by driver error. Drive like a hero and you just might save a life today.

TEAM

Rare performer to grace Gallipeau Centre Theatre

Place player Stephen Baylis. He finished second in team scoring this year with 69 points, despite missing eight games due to injury. Baylis, a five-year player for Canadians, was 10th in league scoring while second year forward Andy Sturtz, a native of Buffalo, New York led Canadians with 72 points to finish in a tie for fifth place.

It’s something of a Catch 22, nobody knows who Jordan John is, so there’s a bit of hesitancy about taking in this fabulous trip through the best of ‘60s rhythm and blues. This guy isn’t just good – he’s one of those rare Canadian talents that not only deliver but do so with style and panache. So don’t miss Jordan John on Saturday, May 16 at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre.

“Go ahead take the risk and come and see this incredible performer, he’s worth every penny of the $20 tickets – and as a bonus you’ll also be helping out one of the best organizations in town – the Susan Shirley Program – how can you lose?” says Howaida Sorour-Roberts, theatre manager.

His father, Prakash John, played bass for James Brown, George Clinton, Paul Shaffer, Alice Cooper and the Blues Brothers and appeared in the Blues Brothers 2000 movie, and he’s playing in Jordan’s band this coming Saturday.

“We’re very enthused about coming to Smiths Falls, we love to go places where people want to listen to excellent live music,” says Prakash.

By the age of 16 as a young drummer, Jordan was jamming with Prince,

This incredible, grass roots charity provides essential housing and life skills training to young pregnant and early parenting women. The program empowers young women to create strong and healthy families and the Gallipeau Centre Theatre is delighted to support them with this exciting concert.

“What better way to spend a Saturday evening than taking in a fantastic live band and lending a hand to the Susan Shirley Program, as you enjoy the show,” says Sorour-Roberts.

ENERGY $AVING$!

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Best in Canada Last season Sturtz led the CCHL in scoring and was a very deserving league most valuable player (MVP). The popular Sturtz (local kids idolize him) followed that up in style in Vernon last spring. He was named the top Junior A player in the country, a quite amazing feat. He is the only CCHL player to ever win the CJHL Player of the Year award in its 27-year history. Sturtz is bound for famous Penn State University on a scholarship in the fall.

This season it was Baylis who was named the MVP in the CCHL at the end of the regular campaign. He followed that up with 22 playoff points, tying Sturtz for third in the CCHL in the post season scoring derby. Baylis also earned MVP honours at the Fred Page Cup. Pretty heady stuff for a young man from Carleton Place, Ontario. He too has earned an American university scholarship, at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Baylis has also been invited to participate in the Tampa Bay Lightning (NHL) Prospects’ Camp this summer.

The Carleton Place Canadians have done their league and their community proud again this season. I’m sure they will be worthy representatives of Eastern Canada at the RBC. Before flying west for the nationals CCHL Commissioner Kevin Abrams told me he thinks this is the strongest field at RBC in a decade. All five entries finished high in the final national Top 20 ranking of this season released by the CJHL at the beginning of March.

Host Portage was first, Canadians were fifth while the other three competing teams Penticton Vees from British Columbia, Melfort (Saskatchewan) Mustangs and Soo Thunderbirds from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario were ranked sixth, seventh and 13th respectively. A strong field indeed.

As for Carleton Place Canadians the CCHL commissioner was high in his praise.

“Needless to say a team repeating the path to the RBC Cup is rare. The fact Canadians have done that is a credit to the entire organization. As a league it is something to be extremely proud of,” Abrams said.

Losing in OT in last season’s national championship game certainly didn’t diminish the crowd at the welcome home parade and meet and greet which followed the club’s return from British Columbia last spring.

No matter what happens in Manitoba this time I expect the same reaction from local residents and officials next week.

The Carleton Place Canadians have earned all of the accolades they receive!

and not long after was performing as the interim bassist with Wide Mouth Mason. He’s the real thing – an incredible talent who’s polish and poise on stage would be a credit to any musician twice his age.

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

Adept on drums, keyboards, guitar and bass, Jordan distills the blues, soul and rhythm and blues into a sound that is both solidly traditional and infused with a fresh, new energy. In 2012 Jordan opened for Aretha Franklin at the Toronto Jazz Festival a rare privilege, as the Queen of Soul rarely allows anyone to open for her.

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

The annual plant sale is this Saturday, May 16 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. (or until sold out) at the Delta Agricultural Grounds. society will offer coffee, tea and tidbits for a small donation. Tickets for the society’s garden tour and strawberry social on June 20 will also be on sale. Five private gardens in the Portland area will be open for viewing from 1 to 4 p.m., with the strawberry social held at Emmanuel Anglican Church in Portland at the top of the hill. Tickets are $5.

Another new feature of the plant sale this year is haskaps, an edible shrub the Ontario Horticultural Association is promoting. This delicious member of the Honeysuckle family produces blue-skinned fruit, with dark crimson flesh, that taste like a zingy blend of raspberry and blueberry, with a touch of elderberry. They are high in vitamin C and several antioxidants, and have been used to reduce blood pressure and relieve gastrointestinal disorders.

They also contain traces of selenium, the element said in Japanese folklore to restore youth.

The plant sale is the society’s major annual fundraiser to finance their programs, such as edible tree and pollinator plantings, community gardens, bursaries for high school graduates attending horticulture-related studies, speaker series, and public garden features throughout Rideau Lakes.

Tinkerbel and Soda Hi there, we’re a three-yearold brother and sister, very good looking, long hair white Persian mixes. Tinkerbel has one blue and one green eye, Soda has green eyes. From the moment we were in our mom’s womb we’ve been together. We lived with a nice lady but unfortunately because of her age, she found it difficult to provide us with the care we need (regular brushing). Currently we are being spoiled by the wonderful staff at Pet Valu in Perth. We would love to be invited into a loving home again. Can we stay together please? We love each other very much.

Gumbo Please meet Gumbo at the Natural Pet Store in Carleton Place. He’s enjoying a large kennel to himself right in the front of the store. Gumbo is all white with a charcoal tail and charcoal ears. He’s quite the character, loves to explore, loves his cuddles and naptime in the sun if can catch the sunrays at his current location.

The Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society is holding its annual plant sale this Saturday, May 16 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. (or until sold out), at the Delta Agricultural Grounds.

Those of you who are new to this sale should be forewarned that, similar to what happens at church and service group dinners in the area, people line up a half-hour or more before the doors open.

However, unlike the dinners, once the doors open, there is no decorous filing in to fill a plate and find a place at a table. Instead, the hall becomes a mad-house of all manner of buggies, wagons and boxes being pushed and pulled and slung about as shoppers vie for the best perennials, annuals, shrubs, and garden ornaments, moving chaotically from table to table in every direction imaginable.

The society has a quick checkout method, refined over years of holding the sale, that makes egress from the hall fast and simple. About an hour after the doors have opened, the sale is pretty much a done

Hosting Rainbow Sabbath may be first step to greater inclusivity Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Organizers of the Rainbow Sabbath events at Trinity United Church hope their work will one day mean the local congregation will reflect the rainbow of society including members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer or Questioning (LGBTQ) community just as every rainbow reflects the colours of the world.

May 8 was an historic day in Smiths Falls as it was the first monthly meeting of the Rainbow Sabbath at Trinity United Church. Approximately 20 people came out to the potluck dinner and spiritual event that followed.

Jim MacGregor, chair of the Bay of Quinte Conference Affirm Action Group and Carleton Place resident has been working with Norma Wrightly of Trinity United Church in hopes of creating a safe and supportive place for local LGBTQ residents to explore their faith.

“We want the LGBTQ community to feel a part of our faith community. If we’re going to present ourselves as following the teachings of Jesus then love comes first,” MacGregor said.

Rainbow Sabbaths are geared to LGBTQ individuals, but welcome anyone who is supportive and wishes to take part in the event. The evening invited all attendees to bring songs, poems or a reading to the microphone and share their feelings on faith and life with those gathered.

“It’s interesting to see what people bring and what they want to share,” Wrightly said.

The monthly meetings will be held every second Friday of the month at Trinity United Church on Market Street from 5:30 to 8 p.m.

Rainbow Sabbath events have been

Jim MacGregor, chair of the Bay of Quinte Conference Affirm Action Group and Norma Wrightly of Trinity United Church welcomed about 20 individuals to the inaugural Rainbow Sabbath in Smiths Falls May 8.

running in Kingston since last September, but MacGregor said he hopes its expansion to Smiths Falls will mean further growth to other communities in the presbytery, and even bigger plans for the future.

“I’m hoping in years to come it disappears because it won’t be needed,” MacGregor said of Rainbow Sabbaths.

Wrightly has been working very hard to bring Rainbow Sabbath events to the local church since Smiths Falls is cen-

tral to the region and wheelchair accessible. She hopes the new event will be the first of many future initiatives the local church undertakes in this area.

“Trinity is exploring what affirming means as a ministry. We have people in our congregation who have been promoting this diligently,” Wrightly said.

Affirming means recognizing LGBTQ individuals as equal participants in the community and faith.

“The congregation voted to enter into that conversation in February 2015,” confirmed Rev. Peter Woods of Trinity United Church.

Part of this process includes hearing from the LGBTQ community about what life is like in Smiths Falls and region and how the church fits into that.

The ongoing Rainbow Sabbath is the start of this discussion with the church’s Affirm Team looking at other educational, spiritual and social opportunities to deepen this connection.

“We’re overwhelmed by the positive reception the LGBTQ community is giving the church,” Rev. Woods said.

This past winter the church welcomed Rev. Dr. George Hermanson for a twonight theology session that looked at the Bible and sexuality.

Other examples of the affirming process show this can be a two-year journey. The rural two-point congregation in Grafton and Castleton, Ontario shares its process of affirming on the Affirm United website. There, they state fears of losing parishioners were there, but in the end the opposite seemed to be true.

“As far as we are aware, no one has left. And the word is out in our community that we are open and welcoming.

It’s not just that we happen to think we are a welcoming congregation, but we have declared that to the community,”

reads the website document written by David Lander.

The United Church General Council has publically voiced their view that LGBTQ individuals are equal in their eyes and most welcome in their church.

They have created Affirm United, an organization that works in The United Church of Canada for full inclusion of people regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. This stance is slowly beginning to trickle down to the local level, which is the process Trinity United Church is currently engaged in.

This past weekend, the Affirming Action Group of the Four Rivers Presbytery that serves Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Brockville and Gananoque met for a daylong workshop to look at the possibility of affirming the entire presbytery. This question will come to a vote this June in Brockville.

“This remains one of the largest stumbling blocks for some people. It takes a long time to get a church to be affirming,” MacGregor said.

To date, only Christ United Church in Lyn has publically announced they are affirming. MacGregor challenges parishioners to see the Bible differently and include LGBTQ individuals into the community as past generations have those with a physical or mental disability.

Until that day comes, there is more support out there for LGBTQ individuals. MacGregor also works with the PFLAG group, which is a national organization that supports those with sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression concerns. Anyone who wishes to receive more information on Rainbow Sabbath or PFLAG can reach out to MacGregor at: macgregor.jim@ gmail.com.

Smiths Falls announces community torchbearer, Brooke Henderson, for Pan Am Games Torch Relay Smiths Falls announced May 5 that Brooke Henderson will be the Smiths Falls community torchbearer for the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay, presented by President’s Choice and OLG. The torch relay will visit Smiths Falls on July 2, 2015 and will feature Brooke Henderson as the community torchbearer. Henderson is the former top ranked female amateur golfer in the world and is now a pro golfer. Her hard work, determination and community mindedness embodies the spirit of the games.

“Brooke Henderson will proudly carry the Pan Am flame as the Smiths Falls community torchbearer,” said Mayor Shawn Pankow. “Smiths Falls is excited to be a part of this historic journey and we look forward to showing our community to the world.”

During the 41-day torch relay, each of the 3,000 torchbearers will complete, on average, a 200-metre relay segment. The torch will be carried by more than 60 modes of transportation and exceed 5,000 kilometres on the road and 15,000 kilometres by air.

“The torch is a unique symbol of the Pan Am Games and carries a powerful energy that will unite Canadians,” said Saäd Rafi, chief executive officer, TO2015. “The torchbearers will proudly carry the flame through more than 130 communities, igniting the Pan Am spirit as they go.”

Featured on the torch are the United We Play! pictograms — colourful depictions of people in

motion —symbolizing the assembly of athletes through the celebration of sport and culture.

The aluminum torch stands 65 centimetres high and weighs 1.2 kilograms (or roughly the same weight as a baseball bat). With a burn time of 10 to 12 minutes, the flame can withstand winds of up to 70 kilometres per hour and is visible in all kinds of weather conditions.

About the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay The TORONTO 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay, presented by President’s Choice and OLG, is supported by community partner CIBC and signature supporters Star Media Group and Metroland Media, Ontario Trillium Foundation and Porter Airlines.

The torch relay will invite Canadians to celebrate and share the Pan Am spirit throughout its 41-day journey towards Toronto, the Host City of the Games.

The torch relay starts May 30, 2015, and concludes July 10, 2015, with the dramatic lighting of the cauldron at the Opening Ceremony in downtown Toronto.

POLICInG From front page

4. To evaluate the long-term impacts of remaining with the existing model and service level delivered by the Smiths Falls Police Service (SFPS).

The current PSB is sworn in to act as the governing body for the SFPS under the Ontario Police Services Act. As such, the board sets policy and works with the Chief of Police to move the service in the direction set out in its business plan, but does not get involved in the day-to-day operations of the police service.

As a hiccup, if two of the council member representatives were the mayor and Cummings this would mean four of five active Smiths Falls PSB members would be sitting on the task force to look at changing the police service.

“It would be two meetings in one,” noted Chief Bob Dowdall.

He points out that any meeting where a quorum of PSB members is present would technically constitute a PSB meeting making the task force both a Committee of Council and a PSB session.

When it comes to an OPP costing, this process is currently on hold until the funding formula is clarified. Dowdall said the original date to re-open requests for costing is this September, but that an extension has also been submitted.

“Where that request is going, I don’t know,” the chief said.

Once the task force’s work is completed, all recommendations will come back to council for debate and a voted decision on how the town will move forward. Coun. John Maloney requested a time limit be placed on the task force to ensure a reasonable turnaround.

“I would hate to see this go on for the four years of my time on council,” Maloney said.

R0013276826_0514

Sensational!

Pankow notes this process is likely going to take nine months to a year to complete and will require professional consultants at a rough estimate of $10,000-$15,000.

Task Force membership Karen Hallinan, PSB chairperson, recommended at the May 11 committee meeting that both she and vice-chair Tom Ariss sit on the task force. She noted Ariss has connections with the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards and would be a valuable asset to the process. At the same time councillors Jay Brennan, Gallipeau and John Maloney expressed interest in sitting on the task force, while Cummings and the mayor set forth their pitch to sit as task force chair.

Staff recommends three members of Smiths Falls Town Council sit on the task force as voting members. Council representatives would be accompanied by the PSB chair and vice-chair (voting members), the town’s CAO Malcolm Morris (nonvoting), Dowdall (non-voting), a member of the Smiths Falls Police Association (non-voting) and a citizen appointee (voting member).

Pankow questioned the requirement for the citizen appointee to have knowledge of the Ontario Police Services Act, noting only lawyers, past PSB members and former police officers could possibly have working knowledge of such a complex document. “My hesitancy there is it probably eliminates 99 per cent of people from participating. I think we have to give people credit,” the mayor said.

He would support removing this requirement and welcoming applications from citizens who have the time to take part in the task force so long as it is understood this individual would be expected to get up to speed in short order. Further talk on the task force membership will be had at the special committee of the whole session held Tuesday, May 19.

SMA fundraiser busts prior record bringing in $33,900 Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Supporters of Mason Stewart and others living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) came out for an afternoon and evening of music at Little Rock Farm smashing last year’s fundraising efforts.

This year, the event brought in $33,900. “It was awesome,â€? said Jenna Stewart, Mason’s mom. “We had about 500 people‌ it was quite a turnout.â€?

Stewart said the day went off without a hitch – something that she credits to the work of the organizing committee.

The day featured musical entertainment by headliner, Brea Lawrenson, along with up and comer country voice and local talent, Henry Norwood, and Andy Bowes. “Brea was amazing,� said Lori Wintle, treasurer. “We had a lot of people out for the music. We love to hear Andy yodel and he brought the best.�

A barbecue, auction, kids games and a fun run were some of the other featured events.

Jenna and Eddie Stewart stand with their son, Mason who is the face of the annual SMA fundraiser at their farm between Perth and Smiths Falls May 9. The annual event aims to raise funds to support families, like themselves, who are living with the condition and research for therapies and a cure.

The Stewart family also presented two $1,000 bursaries named after Dave Onion, which were awarded to two families – one in Almonte and one in Toronto to aid children with SMA. The Bartlett family has a little girl, about four years of age, who has SMA. The funds for her will be used to help renovate a bathroom for her.

The McCardy family of Almonte has a young lad, also around four years of age, who is in need of a wheelchair.

The bursaries are named after Dave Onion, friend of the Stewart family.

SMA is the number one genetic killer of children under two and one in 40 people carry the gene. SMA can impact anyone at any age, race or gender.

The committee is thankful for all who supported the event, and who helped make this one the most successful fundraiser to date, “especially to Hugh Colton. Without him and his connections, it wouldn’t be half as successful as it is,� said Wintle. “We may be looking for a bigger venue.�

Confederation bridge may become pedestrian only Remuneration at a glance for local council sroy@perfprint.ca

Continued deterioration of the Confederation bridge superstructure connecting Memorial Park with Centennial Park near the water tower has triggered the need for a detailed $12,500 structural study that will set out the bridge’s fate for the future.

“I think we have to spend it so we can get that information,” said Lynda McKimm, town manager.

The $12,500 cost can be absorbed into the existing 2015 budgeted figure for the bi-annual structural review, directed staff to get alternative prices to transform the bridge into a pedestrian-only asset. A 2011 study of the bridge estimated making the bridge into pedestrian only would cost $500,000, which caused a handful of councillors some sticker shock.

Coun. Lorraine Allen noted the bridge is critical to linking the community to the park area, but does struggle with the cost implications, which includes an estimated price (from 2011) of $75,000 to $200,000 simply to remove the bridge.

“I don’t want this bridge to be gone. I know we can’t afford to fix it, but I certainly will not agree to spend that amount of money to take it away,” Allen said.

Coun. Dawn Quinn also supports the idea of

a pedestrian only, taking it one step further with design options to investigate further.

“I’d love to see a covered bridge there that’s just pedestrian. It would have a red tin roof on it,” Quinn said.

An April 2015 bi-annual structural review on the bridge’s structure notes that deterioration is ongoing on its superstructure.

“The 2015 report notes the corrosion has advanced considerably,” reporter McKimm.

The corrosion of the steel superstructure has been known since a 2011 report noted immediate remedial work, including corrosion protected painting and steel reinforcement, was needed in order to maintain its seven-tonne load limit. The staff report presented at this week’s committee of the whole meeting noted no remedial work has taken place on the superstructure since the 2011 report was received, but that public safety is not at risk.

“Vanessa, our engineering technologist does not feel it is at this point,” McKimm said responding to a question from the horseshoe.

Coun. Chris Cummings acknowledged discussion on this bridge has been ongoing for at least eight years, but budget constraints have meant the work is continually deferred. The 2011 report laid out a direction that council at the time should begin planning for replacement or eventual closure of the bridge. The staff report dated May 6, 2015 quotes the aged report

as follows: “More specifically, the existing superstructure of the bridge cannot be cost effectively improved to provide even a pedestrian service structure for a desired life of 25 plus years.

Further, the existing superstructure cannot be rehabilitated to provide an unrestricted load capacity in accordance with the Ontario Highway Bridge Design Code.”

Options for town to consider include: 1.

Using the existing foundations, abutments and piers and replacing the superstructure with a pedestrian structure. This would have a life of 50 years.

2.

Close the bridge and remove the structure.

3.

Replacing the structure completely with a new two-lane bridge for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

The new report to be completed by Greer, Galloway Group will confirm updated costs for these options, which will come back to council for further discussion.

Coun. Jay Brennan joins his colleagues in supporting a pedestrian option, but asked for traffic counts and traffic flow information where the bridge is concerned. A final report on all town owned structures (Stone Arch Bridge, Combined Lock, Old Lock , Pedestrian Overpass on Beckwith Street South, and the fixed bridge on Old Sly’s Road) is due shortly.

Upgrades at Smiths Falls water pollution control plant needed

A strong finish

Members of the Chimo Elementary School intermediate cheerleading team took home first place against Gananoque May 8 during the first cheerleading competition held at the elementary school.

A sound system issue and unexpected fire alarm caused hiccups, but the girls had fun.

TOWN COUNCIL IN BRIEF Vehicle purchasing

Coun. Joe Gallipeau challenged staff’s recommendation to go through police co-op pricing to purchase four vehicles for the town’s service fleet.

As a result of significant debate, town staff will contact the three large dealers in town and ask them to quote prices on the vehicles under their fleet program, as well as under the police co-op program for comparison. It was noted by staff that police co-op pricing is negotiated with the manufacturer directly. This information will come back to committee for discussion. The town is looking for an eight-cylinder plow for the Community Services Department, a V6 truck for the Water and Wastewater Department, as well as a half-ton truck and one-ton dump truck for the Works and Utilities Department.

Adjusting Committee of Adjustment

Interest in the Committee of Adjustment is at an all time high and will require an amendment to the Terms of Reference to allow for nine sitting members. Staff asked one of two council reps to step down so the committee would have an off number from which decisions can be made, but neither Gallipeau nor Coun. Jay Brennan wished to do so.

The change must be in place in time for a June 4 meeting of the committee. As a result, the committee will be looking for one more public member to sit on the board.

Property maintenance

Allen asked staff to contact CP Rail and ask if its regular property maintenance near the railway tracks includes spraying, as she is concerned for the health of those living in the area. Staff will provide an update after they reach the rail company.

Official Plan update

Note: The Record News contacted town staff for the updated information found in this update.

The May 6 deadline to hear back from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on the town’s newly updated Official Plan has come and gone with no word from the province.

“I’m hoping within the next month,” McKernan said.

The town and ministry have disagreed on the zoning for the Gallipeau Centre with the ministry desiring to retain the historical rural designation for all undeveloped lands.

The rural/industrial zoning was mistakenly not removed by the town when it annexed the property from Montague Township years ago.

Letter to the Editor

Prescription drug drop-off day a success DEAR EDITOR:

Prescription Drug Drop Off Day has been called a huge success by organizers across the country. This past Saturday, May 9, 2015, the Smiths Falls Police Service with the assistance of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit Harm Reduction Committee and the Smiths Falls Municipal Drug Strategy Committee all worked together to help local residents safely dispose of unused and unwanted medications.

The Smiths Falls Police Service received over 6,500 prescription medications, several inhalers and liquid form medication weighing 8 kgs from several citizens. The prescription medications collected included opiates, amphetamines and barbiturates, all of which are highly dangerous drugs.

“We would like to thank all of our citizens who took the opportunity to dispose of their unused prescription drug at our drop-off locations. This is an important step in dealing (with) the serious problems associated with prescription drug abuse in our town and across Canada,” said Cst. David Murphy, Community Service Officer.

This initiative, led nationally by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, and provincially by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police will help communities keep these drugs out of the hands of those who should not have them. The misuse and abuse of prescription medications has become a public safety issue for communities and police services across the country.

The abuse of prescription medications can lead to incidents of overdose

and in some cases, death. Residents are urged to drop off any unused or expired prescription medications at their local pharmacies at any time, where they can be disposed of in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. To keep prescription medications from our water sources, medications should never be flushed down toilets or washed down drains.

appy birthday, Mom, and Em… pass the ice cream cake.

Each year, Mom celebrates her birthday on Mother’s Day, even if it’s not the same day. This year though, they just happened to work.

Em also has a birthday in early May and this year we were all able to get together for the celebratory cake… and tattoos. (Not Emalee, just mother and I. Em may bite next time.)

For the entire weekend, Mom and I hung out and had some girl fun.

From shopping in Brockville to dinner with the gang, we also got inked.

Every five years, Mom’s a rebel. She got her first one 10 years ago.

This time out, she wanted one to signify her grandchildren: Emalee and Sophia. So armed with a plan, we headed to Carleton Place and the man who has created all but one of my own tats – I have more than Mom, but less than 10. I don’t think that’s too bad… yet.

Pete McDonald at Body Graphics Tattoo was expecting us at 10:30 a.m.

Artist Johnny was available for her, as Pete had some unexpected errands to run, so Johnny set to work on giving Mom her new ink. She found some swirly font and Johnny got out the massage table.

Massage table? Say what?

She was getting her leg tattooed, so it was a bit awkward for the inker.

She had to get a little horizontal.

Johnny transferred the tattoo to a carbon paper and pressed it to her leg to mark the spot. It was a bit offside to my eye, so he rejigged it.

LAURIE WEIR Weir View OK, looks good now, I told them, so Mom hopped up on the table and got comfortable with a pillow. There were some awful grimaces going on though, and a few swear words. I told her to suck it up. She vowed to punch me if I got too close. Naturally, I photographed it. Within 10 minutes she was upright again... I tried hard to ward off the punch.

By this time, Pete showed up and asked what I wanted.

“How about a refresher?” I asked him.

He carefully drew out my astrological sign to cover up the old and faded 20-year-old ankle tattoo that I got in Prince Edward Island two husbands ago. Long gone now is that old ink (both the husband and the Pisces tattoo) and replacing it is a stellar new pair of fishes. Beautiful.

Sunday’s brunch got the clan together in Brockville where we dove into the remainder of Em’s DQ coffee cake and played poolside with Sophie who decided the water was “freezing, but OK” to dunk her feet into.

Thanks for the great weekend gang. We’ll take you for your tat next year, Em… I may even let you drive.

Probably not though; it was more fun letting you drive when you were 10.

To those two Taurus rebels in my life who had significant birthdays this year, I love you dearly.

History projects celebrate heroes, personal connections to history Desmond Devoy

was thought to be extinct, until a single tree was discovered in New Jersey in the 1970s.

Jessica Wedden, a Grade 7 student at St. John Catholic High School, brought her passion for fiddle music and explored the history of the instrument, beloved to Canada’s native, Scottish, French-Canadian, Celtic and other peoples. She has been playing for more than three years, and wants to be a professional musician.

Jakob Wissink, a Grade 4 student at Calvary Christian Academy in Franktown, took on a rather messy subject – Canada Geese.

“They were thought to be extinct (in 1962) and now they are over-populated,” said Wissink, who added that 50 geese can produce approximately 2.5 tonnes of excrement per year. On the upside, though, “they do fertilize when they go to the bathroom.”

Wissink is able to get up close and personal with the geese because he is the second place junior duck call champion at this year’s championship in Moncton, NB. “I think they are beautiful creatures,” he said.

A trip to Halifax got Fiona Giroux, a Grade 6 student from Sacred Heart of Jesus elementary school in Lanark Village, thinking about the infamous Halifax Explosion of Dec. 6, 1917, which killed about 2,000 people instantly. More than 1,000 more people died later of their injuries.

“I saw the memorial and I wanted to learn more about it,” she said. “It was one of the biggest explosions in history, except for the atomic bombs” in 1945.

For Grade 4 Queen Elizabeth Public School student Sadi Gibson, she had to look no further than her own back yard to find inspiration for her project on heritage apples.

Her family had moved from Kingston to Perth and their new home came with a heritage apple orchard in the back yard.

“We would pick them and we bought this cider press to make cider and applesauce,” she said.

She was particularly interested in “disappearing apples,” varieties that are either extinct or the brink of it. One such apple is the Harrison apple, which

History is full of heroes – and Lyndsey Empey calls her hero, Mom. The Grade 6 Lombardy Public School student attended the Perth Regional Heritage Fair at the Royal Canadian Legion hall on Thursday, May 7, to showcase her display on the Smiths Falls Police Service.

For Empey, her subject brought the personal and the historic together – as officers, by and large, whether they were part-time, on-call constables in the village in 1854, or from the time of the creation of a full-time force in 1881, face the same obstacles now as they did in the 19th century.

“I just worry about if she would ever get hurt or something,” said Empey. “Every day she goes, I tell her to be safe. She knows what she’s doing.”

For Curtin Carnrite, a Grade 6 student at St. John Catholic High School, his hero is far more well known, but a little less accessible than Empey’s mother – though no less under the gun, so to speak.

As of this writing (our newspaper goes to press on Tuesday night), the Montreal Canadiens will be trying to stave off elimination at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6.

But if they do not advance to the next round of the playoffs, it won’t be for the lack of effort by star goaltender Carey Price – whom Carnrite profiled for his history project.

“I did it because he is very focused on the game,” said Carnrite, sitting with his friend Davidson Strong, a fellow Grade 6 student, from Glen Tay Public School, in seats from Perth’s old Balderson Theatre, which Strong had brought in for his presentation.

“He (Price) simply loves it. He just loves it,” said Carnrite. “If he lets a goal in, he makes sure the next one doesn’t get in.”

He admits that the Canadiens have not done very well against Tampa Bay, likely “because Tampa Bay knows all of their strengths” and weaknesses.

Carnrite said it was not hard to profile someone who was not only still alive, but also in the news these days.

“I’ve done other players in the past,” said Carnrite, who also plays goal himself for the Perth Peewee B1 team. “I believe they (the Canadiens) can do it. I believe that a miracle can happen.”

For Drummond Central School student Oliver Goebel, his project was able to marry both the personal and the sporting sides of his family. He profiled the Perth Blue Wings Jr. B team, with special emphasis on his grandfather, Randy Ritchie, who played left wing for the team from 1968 to 1970.

Relay for Life challenges you to accept the baton Staff

Each and every Canadian must accept the baton to fight cancer in all its forms if we are ever going to see an end to this devastating disease.

This year’s Relay For Life event is capitalizing on its relay format to challenge team leaders to physically pass the baton to co-workers, friends and family and urge them to take part in this worthwhile fundraiser.

Amber Coville, a Smiths Falls town hall staff member has accepted the baton and is in the process of creating a municipal relay team for the local event June 13 at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute.

This year’s theme is 1950s sock hop complete with poodle skirts, bobby socks and saddle shoes. The music will keep playing all night long from 6 p.m. to midnight. For the first time, the Relay For Life event in Smiths Falls is cutting its operating hours in half in the hopes that more families will take to the course and have fun.

A second Relay For Life event is scheduled for Gemmill Park in Almonte on June 5, 2015 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

RFL is an inspirational, non-competitive fundraising event that brings the community together to celebrate life and fight cancer. All proceeds raised go to the Canadian Cancer Society 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. For further information on the RFL in Smiths Falls 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.

Councillors looks to staff for Hub pool recommendation Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Not convinced all municipalities will collectively come together to cover the $70,000 a year the Hub Pool is requesting, Smiths Falls councillors have asked municipal staff to bring their recommendation on next steps to a future committee of the whole meeting.

Councillors thanked Kathy Gilligan, interim Hub president for her delegation May 11 and asked her to return with a completed terms of reference that will outline expectations of municipal support in the coming years.

“I’d like to know now what we’ll be committing to in the future,” Coun. Chris Cummings said.

Tom Foulkes, who has volunteered to help the Hub update its business plan and create a process going forward, noted the terms of reference is anticipated to be complete by the end of June this year.

Cummings pointed out the town has given $77,500 towards the pool since its inception because it believes it is an asset to the town and to show leadership to surrounding communities in the hopes they would step up and provide their share.

“We’ve not seen that,” Cummings said.

Gilligan did come with good news this week, saying the Township of Merrickville-Wolford has committed to roughly $6,000 for the pool this year.

This in addition to the $4,000 from Rideau Lakes Township and the $1,500 a month for six months from Montague Township, it is a step in the right direction, but doesn’t address the annual need of $70,000 a year from municipal budgets.

“The other municipalities are waiting to see what you’re doing,” Gilligan said.

They will need to wait a bit longer. Smiths Falls has $30,000 in its 2015 budget this year, but has not guaranteed these funds until further discussion around the horseshoe takes place.

“We’re really hoping we can get together and get to the bottom of the $30,000,” Gilligan said, noting their end-of-fiscal-year is in August.

However, councillors John Maloney and Cummings had concerns regarding the likelihood other municipalities will agree to cost sharing for the pool on an annual basis.

“I’m not as optimistic about the plan. I see lots of flaws in it,” Cummings said.

Mayor Shawn Pankow takes the opposite view and sees great promise in the numbers presented by the pool. He notes in every program membership is up despite the uncertainty in the organiza-

tion’s future.

“I’m very pleased with the progress you’ve made. You’re getting great usage and that’s what we want to see in a community pool,” the mayor said.

He notes the Hub’s $70,000 annual request is drastically low when compared with municipally run pools. Maloney suggested the pool look into dropping its classification from an A to a B, which may save costs on staffing. Gilligan said she would look into what the implications of this suggestion would be, underlining she would not want to see the swimming lessons removed from the program list as a result.

The new business plan did present additional debt previously undisclosed to the town. This debt is due to their agreement with a chemical supplier, Superior Pool. Their previous agreement was based on a set amount of usage with no variation.

This agreement had the pool paying $14,000 a month regardless of their programming. The proposed new agreement, which is hoped to be firmed up this week, would allow for flexibility and is expected to shave off up to $3,000 a month from the bill simply with the fluctuation of hours. Foulkes notes this debt will be paid off in a year and a half with the outstanding debt to the Gallipeau’s paid off in four to five years.

Gilligan noted the reason the supplier debt was not included in the original proposal to the town was because the board felt they could absorb that and retire the debt without assistance. Since then they have realized full disclosure is the best way to go, and assured councillors “there’s nothing else” undisclosed to them.

Staffing Foulkes said the Hub board proposes each municipality who provides funds will have an ex officio member on the board to provide for continued communication. He notes the board is also looking for new public board members with business experience. In terms of staffing, it was suggested this week that a paid staff member be brought on to guide the pool and its operations.

“It’s definitely something that we need to approach,” Gilligan said.

She notes staffing is contingent on funds.

Foulkes sees the hiring of a pool manager to be a future item in early 2016. This year, the board is focusing on sourcing grant opportunities to purchase the dehumidifier and pool cover to reduce utilities.

Arts council seeks new board directors The Smiths Falls and District Arts and Culture Council is looking for new board members this spring.

Put Them in Prison to Find Out About Blood Cholesterol

R0013272280/0514

Originally published May 2nd, 2015 Benjamin Disraeli, the distinguished British Prime Minister, once ridiculed an opposition member of parliament by saying, ‘He is distinguished by his ignorance for he only had one idea and that was wrong’.

Today 99 percent of doctors have one idea that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-and-end-all to low- Dr. Gifford-Jones er blood cholesterol. I believe history Laurie Weir/METROLAND will prove them wrong. This week, an old prisoner experiment tells a story, along with a natural remedy to lower blood cholesterol.

Dr John Judkin, formerly Emeritus Professor of Physiology at Chartwell VanHorne and Willowdale collaborated on their fundraising efforts and jumped on the Big Bike for Heart and Stroke London University, London, England, made headlines years ago on Thursday, May 7. On board the bike were local teachers and politicians and staff from the retirement homes. Together, they when he reported that a high dietary intake of animal fat and the eating of foods containing cholesterol were not the cause of coronary raised $2,067 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. heart disease. Of course he was ridiculed for such an idea.

But Judkin pointed to a greater correlation between the intake of sucrose (ordinary sugar) and coronary attack. For instance, a study conducted in 15 countries showed that as the population consumed more sugar, there was a dramatic increase in heart attack.

What is more impressive is a prison study carried out by Milton Winitz, a U.S. biochemist, in 1964. 18 prisoners, kept behind bars for six months, were provided food that was well regulated.

In this controlled environment it was proven that when the prisRotary Collegiate Hall, located in the Collegiate Court Building oner diet was high in sugar, blood cholesterol increased and when (the former Smiths Falls High School) dietary sugar was decreased there was a huge drop in blood choCome & Have Some Fun… the more people that lesterol.

But why does excess sugar cause an increase in blood cholesterol? Once ingested, sugar breaks down into equal amounts of The Elgin Lions Club raised $1,170 on Wednesday, May 6 as they took glucose and fructose.

So the more sugar you eat the greater the production of cholesterol.

But you don’t have to be behind bars to lower blood cholesterol.

A natural product, Sytrinol, consists of polymethoxylated flavons derived from the peel of citrus fruits. It also includes tocotrienols, powerful antioxidants, extracted from the fruit of the palm tree.

Dr. Michael T. Murray, one of the world’s authorities on natural medicine, says, ‘The research on Sytrinol is extremely impressive.’

This is because multiple studies show that in many cases Sytrinol lowers blood cholesterol by 30 percent, LDL the bad cholesterol, by 27 percent and triglycerides, by 34 percent. These changes may occur within one month.

Sytrinol works by decreasing the oxidation of bad cholesterol, a factor in plaque formation that narrows coronary arteries. Sytrinol also decreases inflammation of arteries, believed to be associated with heart attack. And by lubricating platelets, the small blood particles responsible for blood clot formation, it curbs the chance of one forming in coronary arteries.

The dose of Sytrinol is 300 milligrams once a day. It is well tolerated with no complications reported even when 50 X the regular dose is prescribed. It’s available in Health Food Stores.

“An Evening of Stories of Elgin, the Red Brick School, Chaffey’s… and other Lies” as remembered (mostly) by Doug Campbell, Joe Fahey and Don Kerr will be heard on May 30 in Elgin.

Everyone around you has a story to tell and that the world needs to hear.

On Saturday, May 30 three former residents of Elgin, all of whom attended the Red Brick School, will share their stories of life in Elgin and the school in the ’40s and ’50s as they remember it.

Included will be a bit of mischief, devilment, and witty repartee. Come to hear some great storytelling.

Doug Campbell attended the Elgin Public School from 1942 to 1950. An educator, librarian, soldier and politician, Doug has stories to tell shaped mostly by his memories of growing up and idyllic summers spent in Chaffey’s Lock.

Joe Fahey grew up in Elgin and attended the Red Brick School, formerly known as Elgin Public School. A graduate of Queen’s, Fahey is a retired teacher and until very recently was involved in volunteer activities. He is of the opinion that many of his experiences as a young person in Elgin were a strong influence in his teaching career. He takes great delight in sharing memories with his earlier student peers.

Don Kerr is the son of Dr. Norman & Marjorie Kerr, former long-time residents of Elgin. Don attended the Red Brick School from Grade 1 to 8. After graduating from Ryerson University with a Degree in Radio & Television Arts, he worked as a reporter at CKEY Radio and The Toronto Telegram. He later worked in communications and staff training with the Ontario Government. Kerr has written numerous stories about growing up in Elgin, his father’s experiences as a country doctor, and his own experiences during the 12 summers he worked as a fishing guide at Chaffey’s Locks.

Admission is free but donations are encouraged and welcomed.

Wednesday, May 6 was McHappy Day and it was truly a McHappy Day for the Ottawa Ronald McDonald House, and the two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms® located at CHEO as well as the Great War Memorial site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital.

Sensational!

Perth Duplicate Bridge Club presents annual awards The annual awards for the Perth Duplicate Bridge Club were presented by the manager, Linda Selig, at the annual general meeting held April 16.

Four club championship games are held each year for open pairs, mixed pairs and Swiss pairs.

Congratulations to the 2014 winners: Open pairs: March-Leo Brierley and Albert Picard Mixed pairs: May-Joan Dunbar and Gene Krysak Open pairs: September – Ruth and Gerry Browning Swiss pairs – October- Lloyd Miller, Malcolm McDiarmid, Kathleen Sullivan, and Larry Heide.

The AGM was preceded by a pot luck dinner and followed by a regular

night of duplicate bridge. The club had a successful year in its new location, the Perth Civitan Club Hall. The highlight of the AGM was a motion passed to hold a duplicate bridge sectional tournament in Perth in September, 2016, a special event to help celebrate Perth’s 200th birthday.

The PDBC welcomed several new members during the year and invites duplicate bridge players now living in Perth and area and any new residents to Perth to come play duplicate bridge in the Perth Civitan Hall each Thursday at 7 p.m. Refreshments are provided each night. Plan to come, be nice, play fair and have fun.

Prepping for future health care On Friday, May 1, 2015, the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (PSFDH) and its partners hosted a Health Care Symposium at Code’s Mill in Perth.

The symposium brought together more than 120 municipal councillors, their key administrative personnel, community leaders, health care providers and representatives from area Health Service Provider boards and staff that are part of the PSFDH and Rideau Tay Health Link catchment area.

Jeffrey Simpson, National Affairs Columnist for The Globe and Mail and author of “Chronic Condition: Why Canada’s Health-Care System Needs to be Dragged into the 21st Century”, gave the keynote address which helped focus the discussion for the day and make a case for why things must change.

A panel of local subject matter health experts briefed the audience on specific health care issues, themes and topics of interest and facilitated small group sessions studied and discussed these various themes and topics and recorded

their results.

The goal of the symposium was to help explain the South East Local Health Integration Network’s various initiatives and stimulate a community conversation leading to better understanding of the challenges facing health care in this region.

Richard Schooley, Chair of the PSFDH Board stated: “The symposium’s overall objective was to inform, motivate, and engage health care partners, community decision makers, opinion leaders and agents of change in advocating and promoting the necessity and value of a viable healthy community. It is imperative that the community wisely use the health care resources available to it with forethought and purposeful planning. We must understand why the delivery of health care must change and as a community, we need to address these challenges, show leadership and join the discussion.”

Girls rugby team brings home tourney championship

Caddies needed at Hendersons’ ProAm

portunity to fine-tune their plays in preparation for EOSSAA in the next few weeks.

Ultimately, the senior team is looking to earn their way into the provincial competition, but are taking it one step at a time.

sroy@perfprint.ca

They played through blood and bumps, but the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) senior girls rugby team didn’t relent during their playing trip to Calgary, which ultimately resulted in their triumph as tournament champions.

“If we’re going all the way from Ontario we wanted to work our best and show them that we’re no joke,” said Sam Gow, senior girl rugby team member.

The girls travelled out west the last week of April to play four games. They sailed through their first match against High River with a final score of 36-0. Holy Cross put on the pressure and kept pace with SFDCI RedHawks to land a respectable 15-10 final score. The team’s 27-12 win against Central landed them in the semi-final game against Centennial where the girls kept their momentum up and walked away with the trophy with a 17-5 final score.

“The improvement to the final game was remarkable,” said coach Jacob Swarbrick.

Melissa Pender said each team member, including herself had their own highlight reel after the trip, which speaks to the level of teamwork and communication on the field.

“We just kind of all stuck together,” Pender said.

The tournament had highs and lows for the RedHawks, which the team got through together. One player had an opposing team member head butt her during the game. She was able to shake it off and rejoin her team, but the experience was certainly memorable.

It was moments like this where RedHawk ladies proved their resiliency that brought about the biggest take-away from the tournament this season.

“I think everyone came away with a lot of confidence for the season,” Gow said.

Most of their season will be spent playing teams from the St. Lawrence region, as few schools locally house a girls rugby team. The senior lady RedHawks see this as a great op-

Rugby clinic While the senior team prepares for regional competition this year, Swarbrick is looking ahead to the future of SFDCI rugby. Last Friday, May 8 the school held a fun training clinic with senior team members and Grade 7-8 girls from the Smiths Falls family of schools in hopes of interesting the next generation of players before the bell rings this fall.

“We don’t rebuild, we reload,” quipped Swarbrick.

The senior team members all took their level 1 certified coaching training to lead the girls in their drills last Friday.

Swarbrick said he sees a strong future for the sports team at SFDCI, but emphasized the real goal in all of this is to have fun and keep fit.

“That’s what we want is people to exercise for life,” he said.

The Tournament Organizing Committee for the Magenta Mortgage Charity Pro-Am presented by Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac Ltd. in support of the Team Henderson 110% Club and the Canadian Women’s Tour Ontario event presented by Golf Canada are looking for people who are interested in caddying for some of the top professional and amateur women golfers who will be attending these two events form June 15-17 at the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club.

Unlike LPGA Tour events, caddies will be allowed to use pull carts for transporting the player’s bag, however most of the competitors would prefer that their caddy carry the bag during the tournament round. If you have had experience caddying, please consider registering for the Team Henderson Pro-Am (June 15th) or the Canadian Women’s Tour Ontario event (June 16-17) by going to the SFGCC web site: www.smithsfallsgolf.com, finding the red “Volunteer” tab, clicking on that tab and then filling in the volunteer registration form. Once you have completed this process, you will be contacted by a member of the Tournament Organizing Committee to confirm the details of your registration.

Even though you will register as a volunteer, a caddy is paid by his or her player according to a rate fixed by Golf Canada.

David Dargie, Executive Director of the Team Henderson 110% Club and Tournament Chair for the Canadian Women’s Tour Ontario event observed that, “We have filled almost all of our volunteer needs for the three days of competition at the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club. We do however need men or women to step up as caddies. Making sure that we have the best possible experience for the players and spectators will depend in large part upon the quality of caddies that we recruit for our two women’s professional golf tournaments. We would encourage anyone who wants to get inside the ropes and up close to current and future LPGA players to join our tournament team.”

The June 15th Pro-Am is also offering an opportunity to caddy for one of Canada’s two best players - Brooke Henderson, who is now ranked 81st in the world, and LPGA veteran Alena Sharp.

If the Canadian Olympic golf team was chosen today, Brooke and Alena would be the Canadian representatives in Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Summer Olympics. To learn more about how to caddy for Brooke or Alena, go to the Team Henderson 110% Club Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TeamHendersonGolf. From May 18th to May 22nd, you will have a chance to bid on the opportunity to caddy for either Brooke Henderson or Alena Sharp at the June 15th Team Henderson Pro-Am. All funds raised through this bidding will be donated to the DoefStrong Fund, one of the two charities being supported by the Pro-Am. Lanark County Support Services is the second cause chosen by Brooke and Brittany Henderson to benefit from monies raised at the Pro-Am.

Wrestling event sure to entertain the whole family Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Audience members at the upcoming May 29 GNW wrestling event inside the arena are in for a great night where pro wrestlers meet local personalities and anything can happen.

“There should be some unannounced action,” promises John ‘The Grapecrusher” Maloney.

Maloney, a town councillor turned wrestler for one night, will be debuting his moves in the ring Friday, May 29. When asked why move from boxing matches to wrestling, his response was why not. His fellow local wrestlers hope Maloney’s attendance will drive ticket sales, a portion of which goes to the Gerry Lowe Memorial Fund.

“How many people want to get into the ring with a town councillor,” asks Tim Norris.

Brutus The Barber Beefcake will be attempting to put Maloney back in his seat that evening.

From every ticket sold, $2 will go to the Gerry Lowe Memorial Fund and its efforts to purchase a freezing unit for the Sens rink at the corner of Elmsley and Cornelia streets. This unit will allow for more stability in the ice and a greater ability to schedule programming.

“It’s a local event with local people in it.

Kids can go to, which is good,” said Mike Gallagher, who himself will debut as a wrestler at the upcoming event.

Tickets are being sold for $15 in advance at The Rideau Winery (22 Russell St.), the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre (Cornelia Ave.) and online at www.hannibalprowrestling. ca

Mike Gallagher, Tim Norris, Bryan Briggs and John Maloney are gearing up for a wrestling event coming May 29.

Junior go kart racers Hector Baker (15), in front, Megan Gilkes (72) middle, and Andy Oakley (60) turn up the heat during the final few turns of this 14-lap race at the Lombardy Karting track May 3 for the club’s first race day of the season. Gilkes would end up taking the checkered flag.

Stacey Roy/ METROLAND

Tickets will also be available at the door for $20.

Gallagher will have a secret weapon at his side that night in coach Tim Norris, AKA The Handler. Gallagher is said to be taking on not one but two opponents May 29 and has been listing weights and running the stairs at the arena in anticipation for this challenge.

As some make their debut in the ring, other local individuals like Zendragon trainer, Bryan Briggs will be returning to his former wrestling days for one night only. Briggs was a wrestler from 1996-1999, but is confident with his bumped up training schedule he will do Smiths Falls proud and break the hearts of the Heart Throbs of Hawkesbury in two.

“It’s like riding a bike,” Briggs said.

He said the two men have been talking down Smiths Falls and getting under his skin, so he

felt he had to come out of retirement to uphold the town’s pride.

“I don’t like to see friends and this town get pushed around,” Briggs said.

Wrestling fans won’t want to miss this opportunity to see GNW Canadian Champion Hannibal in the ring. Rumour on the street is that Hannibal is set to move up to the WWE any time.

“This could be the last time to see him without paying big dollars,” Maloney said.

Radio personality, John Chatwood of Jack FM fame and Eric the Intern from Chez 106 will serve as special guest hosts for the night.

Once the last bell has rung the party will Ashley Kulp/METROLAND move from the arena to Matty O’Shea’s on Chambers Street, which will be home to the In a novice race on opening race day at the Lombardy official post show party. Don’t miss out on all Karting track May 3, Matti Saraka (29) is focused on the fun! the track.

Lacrosse action coming to Smiths Falls this month press release that in 2013 they brought a group of professionals together in business and in sport to see if they could help make a difference to our local Junior B program here in Ottawa.

“Lead by our Head Coach and National Lacrosse League All-Star Callum Crawford we wanted to bring the discipline, determination and dedication that Callum has created in his own success-

Big opening night for men’s twilight at SFG&CC The first Thursday Night Men’s Twilight of the year at Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club can be described in one word: BIG. A big turnout. A big prize table offered up by Goldie Dixit, dentist extraordinaire. And big changes to the club, including a more streamlined head table that the patrons loved. It all made for a night of big fun!

The scramble format offered players a chance to shake off the rust and cobwebs without feeling too much pressure on their first night out. The Staples, Coleman, Rent, Francis, Sanderson, and Strickland group was already well oiled, cruising smoothly to a front nine victory. The Mulrooneys, along with Ross, Koluk, and Hillier, claimed the back nine honours.

The Roosteraunt closest to the pin prizes went to Goldie Dixit and Bob Mulrooney for their tee shots on holes 3 and 14. Goldie didn’t even remember hitting the shot; must have inhaled a little too much nitrous oxide.

Rico Dopson proved he’s more than just a long hitter. Along with Dan Cyr, he took home the Burns Jewellers gift certificates for the best second shots on holes 2 and 10. And speaking of long, perennial driving champion, Ray Blair, was at it again on hole number 5. Along with Ben Mulrooney who flexed his muscles on hole number 11, Ray was awarded yet another Town and Country Chrysler longest drive prize.

Norm Devine was the lucky 50/50 prize winner, Wayne Palmer won the

bottle draw, and the pro shop prizes went to Brandon Hart, Justin Jennings, and Claire Sanderson.

Finally, Dennis Durant won a nice new golf bag and Al Pilon wanted to take a bow after finding out he was this week’s winner of Rocky’s Road Rash.

If you haven’t played with us in a while, or if you’re new to the area and looking for a fun night of golf with the guys, a special Twilight discount is being offered just for you. Come on out and enjoy the best men’s night in Eastern Ontario!

ful nine-year pro career to the young men aged 16 to 21 to see if we could make a difference,” he said.

The previous decade saw the team, struggle within the OLA Junior B circuit, winning less than six games a season, and not making the playoffs for several consecutive seasons.

“Thanks to the total commitment of our players and their belief in the program and more importantly a belief in themselves, they did make a difference.”

Since 2013 the league has had the following key accomplishments: * Playoffs 2013, 2014 * 2013 OLA Coaching Staff of the year * MVP East Connor Buchannan * 5-0 Start to the 2015 season “We are very excited about our upcoming season with a key group of graduating midget players coupled with the leadership of some our own senior group, led by goaltender Tyler Niemzcak, NCAA Division 1 player Ryan

Fournier and a couple of local players Alex Echlin and Joel Evoy who started their minor lacrosse right here in Smiths Falls,” Badour wrote.

“This should make for a fun day in the community with great lacrosse and prizes for the whole Family! Come out and cheer on your Knights!”

On June 17, the Gloucester Lacrosse team will be in town for an 8 p.m. game against Nepean.

PULLEN, Walter “Wally” – In loving memory of my dear husband who passed away three years ago May 13, 2012.

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, But all I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your resting place I visit, And put flowers there with care, But no one knows the heartache, As I turn and leave you there.

Miss you and love you Janet

JEFFREY M. SMITH June 13, 1976 – May 18, 2008 Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear, Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach, Sweet to remember him who once was here, And who, though absent, is just as dear.

McDANIEL, Terry (Turk) – In loving memory of Terry (Turk) McDaniel who passed away May 17, 2011.

There is an open gate at the end of the road, Thru which each must go alone, And there is a light we cannot see, Our father claimed his own, Beyond the gate my loved one, Finds happiness, peace and rest, And there is comfort in the thought, That a loving God knows best.

Always loved, always missed Betty

OBITUARY

February 3, 1947May 1, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce Treavor’s passing after losing a very determined battle with lung cancer. Survived by his devoted mother Winnifred, his wife of 48 yrs Marion (Andrews), daughter Lynne (Michael), son Jeff and 6 grandchildren, Jessica (Milad), Trevor Jr, Katherine, Aiden, Hannah and Grace and soon to arrive great-grandson. Predeceased by his father, Frank, his brother, Carl Robert and sister, Bernice. Treavor also leaves behind an amazing large supportive family all living in Ontario in close proximity to the family farm, including brothers, Ron (Nadine), Bev, Roger (Martha), Mark (Cathy) and sisters Heather (Barry), Nancy (Tom), Debbie (Brad), and Michelle and sister-in-law Vicki. Trev was born in Brockville, Ontario and grew up on a farm in South Mountain. As the eldest of 11 siblings, it was here that he honed his strong work ethic that was very much evident throughout his life. He was literally a “jack of all trades”, with all the tools and huge workshop to go along with that title.

He just loved to hear someone ask “and how does that work?” or better yet “how can that be fixed?”. He truly took selfsufficiency to a new level. A man with many interests that included golf, restoring his 1957 Plymouth Savoy car and performing with the Burke Mountain Bluegrass Band.

He had an ongoing passion for camping, fishing and hunting. Some of his greatest times were spent with his growing family teaching his children and grand-children how to not only survive but thrive in the great outdoors. His annual “guys” fishing and hunting trips took many meetings and months of prep work followed up by a yearlong recounting of the events! No words can express the gratitude to the team, especially Bryon, at the Monitored Care Unit at Eagle Ridge Hospital for honoring Treavor’s wishes and giving all of us at his bedside the strength and guidance to help him through his final moments passing over into God’s hands. And last but by no means least, a big thank you to Maggie, Trevs’ ever so loyal 4 legged companion, for the countless hours spent by his side, never missing a car/truck ride or bluegrass session and waiting quietly by his bedside for him to wake. Treavor was a very proud and honorable man.

Definitely a force to be reckoned with and he mostly made and followed his own path. He will be definitely missed.

Cremation has taken place and in lieu of flowers, donations in Treavor’s name to JDRF Canada would be appreciated in the hopes of making a positive difference in the lives of his son Jeff, grand-daughter Grace Georgia, grand-nephew Gavin and all those affected by Type 1 diabetes. A Memorial service will be held in the church he helped build, amongst his church family at Victory Baptist Church, 2191 Prairie Ave, Port Coquitlam, BC Saturday, May 16th at 2 pm followed by a reception downstairs in a newly created Treavor inspired hall.

Rideau Roundtable moves forward with strategic plan Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

For more than a decade, the Rideau Roundtable has made it their mission to help raise awareness of the Rideau Canal through experiences on the waterway.

The group, an incorporated, not-forprofit community organization, held its annual general meeting (AGM) April 27 at the Kinsmen Pavilion in Lower Reach Park in Smiths Falls. Along with guest speaker Anne Marie Forcier, executive director of the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association, members also provided updates on the many projects and initiatives planned over the next year.

Included in that is the development of a strategic plan, of which Rideau Roundtable member Manuel Stevens gave an overview. Stevens said the need for the plan was to “focus attention on communicating our primary mission, which is sustainability.”

“That’s what we’re all about and we felt we needed a strategic plan to properly identify the audience we have and communicate our goals and priorities…” he stated.

The plan embodies the four pillars of sustainability identified by the Rideau Roundtable: economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, cultural vitality and social equality.

“Rather than preaching our concept, we wanted to converse with everyone along the Rideau waterway to engage them and determine what it (canal) means to them,” Stevens remarked.

Currently, the plan is in draft status, but the Roundtable has identified their

key audiences, which includes media, service clubs and organizations, as well as grant programs and corporations and donors. Like-minded groups, landowners and community associations round out the list.

The plan also has a strong focus on education and reaching out to businesses along the waterway. “We have to increase our profile as champions of sustainability through major outreach programs with our audiences along the canal,” Stevens explained. “…We have to become better known along the waterway in order to do our job properly.”

Before the draft is finalized, the Rideau Roundtable will consult with local conservation authorities and organizations for their input and support over the next few months.

“We hope to have the document in place by the fall or perhaps a bit earlier,” he stated. “…It’s a big task for a small organization.”

Speaker series, canoe experience The Rideau Roundtable has seen success through several projects and have become known for their speaker series and Voyageur canoe tours. The former, the inaugural series has focused on sustainability along the Rideau corridor with five presentations being held over the past seven months.

Rideau Roundtable president Peter Au said the theme of sustainability wasn’t chosen by accident.

“The theme is really a sense of place and it has legs because Smiths Falls has embraced it. We have a strong group here,” he said.

According to Don Gibson, who coordinates the venture along with Cam

Peter Au, president of the Rideau Roundtable, speaks to those gathered for the organization’s annual general meeting April 27 at the Kinsmen Pavilion in Lower Reach Park in Smiths Falls. Au announced plans for a two-day canoe experience along the Rideau Canal this August.

Ashley Kulp/ METROLAND

O’Neill, the most recent talk took place on March 30 in Ottawa and centered around an open dialogue on flooding.

“We had 35 people out for that and had speakers from the RVCA (Rideau Valley Conservation Authority), MVCA (Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority) as well as the City of Ottawa,” he explained, adding that a good relationship has been forged between the group and the city. “We really worked very closely with the City of Ottawa on

that last event and built a really great partnership with them.”

Other talks have featured geologist Al Donaldson as well as Colin Maxwell, former president of the Canadian Wildlife Federation.

“For the first year, I think it was successful,” Gibson commented. “We’d like to continue working on it.”

The series is designed to raise awareness of the Rideau Roundtable and Gibson said it’s slowly doing just that.

“Attendance has been steady (at the series) and we’re building it up,” he noted. “…It’s a vehicle to increase membership and we’ve had mixed success with that. It’s something we really have to focus on for the next year of the speaker series.”

Coming this August, Au and a committee are also working on building a visitor experience opportunity, Locks, Rocks & Water. Running from Aug. 10 to 13, this initiative is being billed as an intergenerational exploration of the Rideau River, facilitated by Canadian canoeing icon, Max Finklestein, and other guest interpreters.

Au said it’s a learning adventure for grandparents and their grandchildren or parents and their children to share.

“It’s going to be really close and personal, with an emphasis on sharing and learning,” he explained. “…We will be Voyageur canoe paddling and hiking in one of the most beautiful areas with a view of the Rideau.”

The first day will see participants canoe from Jones Falls to Rock Dunder and day two from Jones Falls to Davis Lock.

The Rideau Roundtable will also be participating in the annual Rideau Paddlefest in Smiths Falls Aug. 8 and 9, which will coincide with their Voyageur canoe races over those two days, in Lower Reach Park. There is a five-week practice program: July 8, 15, 22, 29 and Aug. 5 for those interested in participating in the canoe races.

Soggy bottom blues cause wiring headache in reader’s vehicle Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

or vandalism event). It’s unlikely that Volvo will want to set a precedent by paying for a failure (and the consequential wiring damage) on a part that was only covered by the vehicle’s base warranty, which has long since expired. As well they would argue that if the moisture problem was rectified in a timely manner it is highly likely that the wiring would not now require extensive repair.

Interestingly enough when I Googled Volvo water leaks one of the first listings was a video from a Volvo dealer in the U.S. explaining how to check and clean sunroof drains

(probably because it’s not covered in the owner’s manual – but then again, no carmaker I know of has such listing in their owner’s handbooks). The repair shop that did the work might have recommended checking the wiring under the carpeting, but as the car didn’t exhibit any faults at the time of repair, they might be excused for not bringing it up (and by that time the damage may have already been done). It seems obvious to me that you were unaware that there was vulnerable wiring under the floor carpet or even that the musty odour was caused by a water leak.

There may be an alternative to replacing the entire harness. A qualified tech may and I stress may be able to cut out and splice in individual wires to replace the damaged portions only.

However if any connectors are damaged, they may not be available as a separate part from the wiring harness assembly. This is a labour intensive job but may save you the money of

buying a complete harness. While not all of us drive sunroof equipped vehicles, it’s important to note that these roof windows have drains to let water safely escape and they should be checked every spring and fall. There are several good YouTube how-to videos on the topic. Whether or not your vehicle has a sunroof, it is extremely likely that it has electrical wiring under the floor carpet. If any area of the carpet is soaked it must be dried out to avoid risking an electrical problem. Surface water is relatively easy to get rid of with a shop vacuum and some absorbent towels, but if the under-padding is wet you will need to air dry it.

A few bricks or short sections of 2X4 lumber can be used to lift the carpet and under-pad off the floor.

You can access the carpet from the edges by removing the plastic scuff plates at the door openings. Then carefully insert the bricks or wood blocks under the carpet to let air cir-

“Hello, I own a 2009 Volvo C30. There had always been a bit of an odour with the car and I tried cleaning cabin filters but it never seemed to do much good.

Last November I noticed that the carpet behind the driver’s seat was soaking wet, which was a surprise. I looked online and found that a possible reason could be that the sunroof drains get blocked causing the water to overflow into the vehicle. I contacted Volvo Canada in early December and was told that there was no known issue or recall for this problem and that it was my responsibility to repair the sunroof drains. I didn’t agree with the decision but I proceeded to have the repairs done by my private garage. They replaced the hoses in the sunroof drain using Volvo parts. The tech said that the original hose was completely ineffective because the many joints had either come apart or were disintegrated.

The water problem seemed to have stopped. Last month while driving the car I had all electrical components (signal lights, speedometer, fan, etc.) completely shut down. The only thing working was the engine.

The electrical components would come back on for a few seconds and then completely shut down again for a few minutes.

I contacted Volvo Canada about the electrical issue and was told to take the car to a Volvo dealer so the problem could be diagnosed. My local dealership found that there was still water under the carpets and that the wiring under the carpets had corroded. They estimate that the repair will cost $3,500-$6,000 to replace the “floor harness, front to back.”

They also think that water may still be infiltrating through the “sunroof cassette.” It is obvious to me now that the long-time odour problem was mould in the carpet. The water damage to the electrical system took place over a long period of time prior to and after the repair to the sunroof drain hoses.

I filed a claim with my auto insurance company for the electrical damage. They advised me that they will not pay for my claim because they have determined that the problem was caused by “a known common manufacturer defect.” I have advised Volvo Canada of the determination by the insurance company and have asked them to assume responsibility for the repair.

Are you able to provide me with any suggestions or advice going forward in this matter?”

Thank you.

This is quite the tale and while I sympathize, I’m afraid I’ll have to be the bearer of bad news. First your insurance company is correct to deny coverage. The sunroof drains in question would have to have been damaged by some outside force to be covered under a standard automobile liability insurance plan (e.g. chewed by a rodent or severed in a collision

culate and do the drying. This may take several days or nights (parked in a dry covered location with the windows open) and if the blocks are under the driver’s feet, then of course the vehicle can’t be driven safely.

You can accelerate the process with absorbent towels, but you will need to be careful not to damage any wiring that may be in the way.

Spare bedrooms needed for visiting actors to Classic Theatre Festival Anyone with a spare bedroom is in for a treat this summer should they decide to host one of the visiting professional actors with the Classic Theatre Festival.

This summer marks its sixth season, with a new version of its historic, theatrical guided walking tour (a “Nancy Drew meets Film Noir” theme), the brand new Friday night Lonely Ghosts Walk, and two hits from the golden age of Broadway (Neil Simon’s comedy Barefoot in the Park and Frederick Knott’s nailbiting thriller, Wait Until Dark) at its venue at 54 Beckwith Street East.

Currently, the festival has actors who will be arriving in Perth for two separate six-week periods, June 21 to Aug. 3 and July 21 to Aug. 30. The Festival is hoping individuals or families with spare bedrooms and access to a kitchen and washroom are able to host one of the performers (all of whom pay for their own food). In return, host individuals and families receive free passes to the festival all summer long as well as exclusive invites to special festival social events.

If billets are only available for a three-week term, that could work too.

In addition, a number of designers will require shorter, 10-day stays in July and August.

For Perth resident Helen Gamble, 2015 marks the sixth consecutive year she has hosted a performer.

Submitted photo

Catherine Bruce, who appeared in the first two seasons of the Classic Theatre Festival, is one of the professional performers needing a billet this summer. TV viewers may be familiar with her frequent nationally broadcast commercials for RBC and muscle relaxants, among others.

“I’ve billeted at least one actress each year of the Classic Theatre Festival in Perth,” Gamble says.

“At first I wondered how it would work out and whether my guest room was adequate. It’s been a wonderful experience. I meet interesting, artistic people who are passionate about what they do. They are gone most of the day into the evening, busy with their work schedules. It’s fun to have someone coming and going, a bit of company, but someone I don’t have to entertain.”

Gamble has gotten used to living with actors she sees turning into completely different people when they assume their characters on the Classic Theatre Festival stage. She, among other billet hosts, has also struck up close friendships with those she has hosted, and they often stay in touch via Facebook, email, and reunion visits.

And it’s always a nice surprise to turn on the TV or see a film in which one of the people who stayed with her has gotten a role.

“All they need beyond their room is a shelf in the fridge and one in a cupboard,” Gamble says. “They feed themselves, tidy and clean after themselves, and respect my house and routine. My friendly dog seems to be a bonus and often they practice their lines with him as their foil.

“Billeting costs me very little – re-

ally, just a bit of hot water for showers and a spare key – but I meet and interact with intelligent, outgoing people and am invited to casual get-togethers of cast, crew, other billeters, and volunteers. I’m gifted with tickets to the plays which are more interesting than ever, because I know at least one cast member. I’m glad I decided to billet that first year and look forward to meeting this year’s actress and becoming involved once again.”

Scott Clarkson, a veteran festival performer returning for his fifth consecutive season, says “I had never been billeted for a show before my first time in Perth and wasn’t sure what to expect,” Clarkson says.

“The family I stay with is always so welcoming and cheerful that it makes a six-week stay away from home so much easier. This summer will be my fifth with them - and as much as I love Perth and the Classic Theatre Festival, this family’s hospitality is an equally large part of why I am so happy to keep coming back! I am so grateful to see such generosity to the arts.”

Even if hosts cannot provide a space for the complete six weeks, some performers may require only two or three-week stints. Individuals interested in hosting an actor should call 613-264-8088 or email info@ classictheatre.ca.

Field naturalists urge community to attend annual Spring Gathering May 21 Now that spring is finally here and summer’s just around the corner, you’ll want to make the most of the warm weather and the cool breezes, and all that our community has to offer. How about doing that – as well as enjoying great food and company – and at the same time contributing to the preservation of a natural treasure, the Burnt Lands Alvar?

All you need to do is participate in the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ (MVFN) 2015 Spring Gathering on Thursday, May 21 at the Almonte Civitan Hall, where you can enjoy a great meal, a fascinating talk by the evening’s keynote speaker, Jean Lauriault, an expert on the mysteries of Monarch butterflies, and – a silent auction.

All funds raised from this silent auction will go towards supporting MVFN’s efforts to preserve the Burnt Lands Alvar. Remember to purchase or reserve your tickets by Thursday, May 14.

What is on offer at this silent auction? Paintings and art work galore – by Amelia Ah You, Jennifer Noxon and Mary Pal, as well as a variety of other fine art creations with a nature theme.

What if you’re keen to explore the outdoors and learn about nature?

Well, you can bid on several amazing experiences – crewing on a sailboat, a nature tour, a day of birding in Prince Edward County, or a geological Alvar tour. For other experiences closer to home, why not bid on a night of musical entertainment, a garden tour and lunch for six people, Spanish lessons, or bilingual home tutoring?

Lands Alvar Campaign FB page for an updated listing of all silent auction items, as well as our weekly featured silent auction item.

Tickets ($40) for the 2015 Spring Gathering dinner, keynote presentation and silent auction are available from Gilligallou Bird Store (Almonte); Reads Book Shop (CP) and The

Office, Perth; or contact Brenda Boyd: bjboyd@mvfn.ca or 613-256-2706 to reserve.

We hope to see you at our Spring Gathering, and out and about this summer, enjoying the fruits of your hard-earned bidding.

These early-summer poppies were found in Almonte. The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists is asking residents to embrace the warmer weather by attending its 2015 Spring Gathering Thursday, May 21 at the Almonte Civitan Hall.

Perhaps there’s a special person in your life in need of some rest and relaxation? What better treat than a biodynamic massage, a Reiki treatment, a massage treatment certificate, a special package from Soul Scents, or a sailboat excursion followed by a scrumptious lunch?

If you’re looking for ways to spruce up your abode, there will be something for that too in our silent auction. A home-styling session, a garden consultation, a cubic yard of compost

delivered to your home, or a monthly bouquet of fresh flowers are all sure to provide that extra oomph.

Although you can bid on a few pieces of silent auction fine art while they are displayed at Mill Street Books in Almonte (from May 12 to 20), bidding on these will continue on until the close of bidding during the May 21 Spring Gathering event. All other auction items are available for bidding at the MVFN Spring Gathering only.

All the pieces in place but Reese Witherspoon comedy falls flat MOVIE: Hot Pursuit STARRING: Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara DIRECTOR: Anne Fletcher RATING: PG I think I called this one last week. I was looking forward to Hot Pursuit. I thought there was potential for this film to be hysterically funny, but in the end I should have seen The Avengers again.

Officer Cooper (Reese Witherspoon) has been sitting on the bench ever since she accidentally tazered the mayor’s son. She gets a chance to redeem herself when she’s asked to help escort two federal witnesses. Daniella Riva (Sofia Vergara) and her husband Felippe (Vincent Laresca) are testifying against a major drug lord. Provided they aren’t killed first.

As Cooper is helping Daniella pack her shoes gunshots ring out

from downstairs. Two different groups have come looking for the Rivas. Cooper’s partner and Mr. Riva are killed, but Cooper manages to get Daniella out.

Fleeing for their lives Cooper and Daniela get to a phone.

Cooper calls it in then sits and waits for the cavalry to arrive.

Just when they think their day can’t get any worse the cavalry turns out to be a pair of dirty cops working for the drug lord.

So now the obsessive by-thebook cop and the trophy wife of a money launderer have to work together or end up dead.

Hot Pursuit just shows how hard it is to make a good comedy. It has the big name stars. It has the big name director. Neither helps. It tries to do every single thing it can to make you laugh. It tries physical humour, it tries witty insults, it tries comedic girl fight, it tries innu-

actors. Together they have no chemistry at all. They are trying too hard, and in order for a comedy to be funny it has to seem effortless. For them it seems like one of Hercules’ twelve tasks.

The film does have its visual appeal, but unfortunately there Mark haskins simply isn’t enough of that.

My Take

endo, it tries bizarre plot twists.

None of it helps. It throws everything at you including the comedy kitchen sink and none of it works. This film just isn’t funny.

Comedy is hard. That’s the lesson here. On the surface the plot has the outrageousness you look for in a comedy. As it plays out however it proves to be a generic and boring buddy-buddy comedy. This largely falls on the two main stars. Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara on their own are talented and funny

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

The Carleton Place and Beckwith Music Society, a charitable organization formed in 2013 to promote music in the community, held its second annual piano festival May 4 and 5.

Approximately 40 piano students from Lanark County competed in a variety of classes from beginner to advanced at the Carleton Place Town Hall.

The adjudicator was Gerald Vreman from St. Thomas, Ontario who holds a Masters in Music from Western University, has won many festival awards himself and is an examiner for Conservatory Canada among many other accomplishments.

Vreman chose top performers from the festival to be showcased in a gala concert at the Carleton Place Town Hall auditorium this Friday, May 15 at 7 p.m.

In addition to wonderful piano performances several of these young talents will also be presented with scholarships and awards for their accomplishments.

Many thanks to our festival supporters: Colleen Skjaveland, Asha and Krishna, Ballygiblin’s restaurant, Beckwith Auto Services, Earl

What’s worse is that the film tries to switch gears. It attempts to move from the ridiculous comedy into something serious, and a bad film becomes even worse. It loses anything that is even remotely humorous, and becomes utterly unbelievable.

You won’t come out of Hot

Pursuit wishing for something unpleasant to happen to its cast and director, but you will be seriously disappointed. It is a boring and unfunny film, with a duo who would have been better working with anyone else.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

1974 Triumph TR6 never driven in winter A letter arrived from Don Osadec of St. Catharines, Ontario: “Hi Bill. I have owned a few classic British sports cars much of my adult life. I am now 76 and my first car was a 1955 MG-TF which I restored to showroom condition. Next, a few years later, I bought a 1968 TR4AIRS which needed extensive work.

“My present car is a 1974 TR6. This car did not need any extensive restoration, only a little cosmetic attention to clean it up. The body, paint, and chrome are original and in very good condition.

Only the top, interior, and clutch have been replaced.

“The car originally came from Seattle, Washington, went to Calgary, Alberta, then to Brampton, Ontario, where I found it in 2004. It has never been driven on sand, salt, or snow its whole life, and I have been caught in the rain only twice in ten years. The engine is a 2498 c.c., 152 cubic inch straight 6 with dual Weber side draft carburetors, dual Monza free-flow exhaust system, 4-speed transmission and independent rear suspension.

“My wife and I belong to the Niagara British Car Club, where you can see many classic British cars of all years and types. In the car’s present condition, it has been appraised at $18,500.

Only 194,000 of the TR6 models have been built from 1969 to 1976.”

The “TR” label is short for “Triumph”, a nameplate that goes back to

1923 in the British automotive industry.

The company had been making motorcycles since 1903 but decided twenty years later to jump into the booming automobile field. The first of the “T” series began with the Triumph TR2 in 1953, followed soon by the TR3. All these early ones had “cut down” doors, a very distinctive styling feature.

The cut-down design ended with the arrival of the TR4 in 1961, followed by the TR5 in 1967 and the TR6 in 1968, which in turn was replaced after 1976 by the TR7.

The TR6 owned by Don Osadec has disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear. The ones built for export to North America used carburetion whereas the ones built for the U.K. and other markets were fuel-injected. These models, according to Autocar magazine, could go from 0-60 in 8.2 seconds and with a top speed of 120 mph.

I’m always looking for more stories.

Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.” Don Osadec’s 1974 TR6. Note “DONS DRM” licence plate for Don’s Dream car.
