News - At the regular Smiths Falls committee-of-the-whole meeting held Monday, May 12, and chaired by Coun. Dawn Quinn, the Smiths Falls and District Youth Centre found out they would not be finding a home at the Youth Arena. “We had a request from the Youth Centre to use the Youth Arena as a new home. We received a report last week from Margo Loughren (administrative assistant) and Gary Bisonette (facilities superintendent) regarding the proposal,” said Coun. Shawn Pankow. The upshot is that allowing the Youth Centre to use the upstairs hall at the Youth Arena would disrupt too many other events and activities that are hosted in that hall and leave a number of groups with nowhere else to go. “The hall is used quite regularly, they host about four birthdays a month, six to eight figure skating events, hockey camps and tournaments and it’s a backup for the Memorial Centre, for example we had to move the Volunteer Night awards to the youth arena Photo by HOWAIDA SOROUR hall because of a hockey game,” Events – Fight Night was a hit Saturday night as the Honky Tonk Man visited the Smiths Falls said Pankow.

director of the Youth Centre was discouraged by the news but encouraged by some of the councillors’ comments and clear support. “I’m disappointed, although I respect what I heard – all I heard was why we couldn’t use the youth arena, I didn’t hear any positives on what would happen if we did,” said Gariepy. The notion of providing a municipal space for the youth group remains contentious among councillors. “I don’t support providing the Youth Centre with municipal space, because then we’d be creating a dependent entity. I think they need to search for property that isn’t community owned,” said Coun. Ken Graham whose view was shared by Coun. Jay Brennan. On the other hand the rest of the councillors, though they all agreed that the youth arena might not be the best solution, were quite open to either finding a town-owned facility for the youth or even, when funds permit, to build one along the lines of the seniors’ recreational centre. “I don’t think that going to the youth arena hall would be appropriate at all but I disagree with See YOUTH page SF2
Healthy Living Festival to feature new ball hockey event News - The planning of the 2014 Healthy Living Festival is moving into high gear, with lots of new and exciting activities to help people get their move on! The festival planning committee has been hard at work finalizing plans for the upcoming event, including creating a brand new component to the festival – the Zendragon 3 on 3 Ball Hockey Tournament. The ball hockey tournament is open to teams of four and up (including a goalie), with several different age categories to ensure no one is left out of this exciting event. With lots of prizes up for grabs, players won’t be disappointed. The tour-

nament begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m., when the festival ends. The cost is $80 per team, with no more than six players to a team. This event will be a joint fundraiser for the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program, as well as the 2015 Healthy Living Festival. Once again, the festival will feature a Cardio Move-a-Thon event, this year running from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. with lots of great instructors who are pumped at keeping people engaged and moving for a full 90 minutes during the event. As with the ball hockey tournament, the Cardio Move-a-Thon will also be a fundraiser for the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program.
The Canadian Tire Jumpstart Program is a nationally registered charity dedicated to removing financial barriers so kids across Canada have the opportunity to get off the sidelines and into the game. All funds raised for Jumpstart stay within the community where they’re raised, which means the Move-a-Thon and ball hockey tournament are two great ways to help give area kids a chance at participating in sports. In addition to the Move-a-Thon and ball hockey tournament, the festival will also see the return of the rock climbing wall, bouncy castles, obstacle course, and this year will also include a children’s

Arlene Dickinson will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series presented by Metroland Media Group June 9 at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata. Mews family “to see what an impact a group of entrepreneurs have on the city we live in.” Dickinson, who is the CEO of the marketing firm Venture Communications with a staff of 75 in Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa, said she’s looking forward to meeting entrepreneurs in Ontario’s communities and speaking about how life and business are intertwined when you’re an entrepreneur. The 57-year-old, who travels back and forth between her Calgary and Toronto homes, said the notion of balance, is something of a fallacy. “Balance is very personal. It’s not about 50/50 and equal weight on personal and professional, it’s about doing what makes you happy,” she said, noting that being an entrepreneur is a lifestyle choice, not a career choice. “I’d say that happiness is a function of being able to live and be who you are.” Passion for entrepreneurism Dickinson found her calling and developed a passion for entrepreneurism at the age of 31 after getting married at 19 and raising four children. Through hard work and perseverance, the author of Persuasion and All In, said she’s been able to overcome numerous challenges that have helped shape her as a

Resiliency is key “Self-doubt can play a huge role in your ability to succeed, so if you believe in something you have to stick to it. You have to be resilient,” said Dickinson, noting that to be successful as an entrepreneur you also have to navigate the roadblocks along the way and accept that you’ll face a lot of rejection.

LAWS hires consultant to create fundraising, marketing plan akulp@perfprint.ca
News – The Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is taking steps towards securing its long-term future with the recent hiring of a consultant to aid their fundraising and marketing efforts. Earlier this year, the organization’s board of directors hired Lisa Strangway, owner of The Marketing Station in Carleton Place, on a one-year contract to craft a strategic fundraising and marketing plan. And late last month, the plan was presented to the board and received full approval. LAWS is a no-kill animal shelter located on Glenview Road just outside of Smiths Falls. “I’ve started implementing the plan, beginning with a new logo,� Strangway said. “I have a new marketing tagline ready to
go as soon as voting is done.� According to Strangway, her objective was to “analyze what was done in the past as far as fundraising and marketing goes.� “Where has the money come from, how has the organization connected with people who have donated in the past and what are the different ways to bring in money?� she said. It’s an exciting time for LAWS, as well as Strangway, who made the decision to leave a 14-year career as director of marketing with the Ottawa Senators and start her own marketing business. She always has a long history of volunteering in Carleton Place, running the Carleton Place Social Scene website and she is also the former chair of the Carleton Place Winter Carnival. “Starting my own business has been my dream, so right now I’m
living the dream,� she said. She’s happy to be working with a dedicated team at LAWS. “We’re headed in the right direction. They have a board of directors that are so passionate, so hard working. They are all people who have full-time jobs and work tirelessly with LAWS. It’s inspiring,� Strangway commented. “These people all care and all have a certain expertise that they bring to the table. It’s a good mix.� She said it’s important that she has the full support of the board throughout the process. “They (board) understand the importance of this and they all want what’s best for the shelter in the long run. And what’s best is to have enough money to operate and to have a good reputation in the communities they serve,� she added. LAWS board president Kathy
Hoyland is also thrilled to have Strangway on board. “We at LAWS are extremely excited to have Lisa on our team. Her experience in the marketing and fundraising world is invaluable and as LAWS depends very highly on donations to run the operations, promoting the shelter and getting our story out there is how we are going to survive and thrive,� she remarked. “Lisa’s enthusiasm is infectious and I see her doing great things to help LAWS.� Those first few months of her contract, Strangway pored over past practices. While a large portion of funds are generated through adoptions, Strangway was focused strictly on the fundraising aspect, which includes individual giving, events, estates and wills, as well as sponsorship.
She relished the opportunity as LAWS didn’t have a clear-cut strategy for its marketing and fundraising in place before. It was a blank slate. “There will be a clear vision to get processes in place so there are measurements and so we can track progress,â€? she said. “I’ve analyzed every single fundraising event they’ve done in the past or that we’ve contributed to in terms of resources. If it does not produce a return on investment, then we’re not going to do it. We can’t keep wasting time and resources on things that do not generate growth.â€? â€œâ€ŚThere’s been a lot of focus on events but now we need to focus on a stewardship program for donors including software to keep track of donors. We don’t
even have that,� Strangway continued. She gained a lot of valuable wisdom from a fundraising workshop at the Ottawa Humane Society where those professionals went over best practices and industry standards. One of the backbones of the plan is to build relationships with existing donors. “Up to this point, there’s been zero communication with them (donors) and it takes twice as much time and effort to find a new donor than retain one,� Strangway explained, adding that a strategy to keep and engage new volunteers is also part of the plan, as well as helping people facilitate third party fundraising See LAWS page 5

events. “…We need to establish trust with our communities and communicate with them. People who donate should be thanked. It’s a very simple concept,” she said. Crucial marketing Fundraising is vital, but so is having a dedicated marketing plan, said Strangway. That includes fresh branding and a new logo, which is currently in the implementation stage. “The marketing part of this job is going to be crucial,” she admitted. “The number one objective is to tell the story. We need to tell LAWS’ story. There are a lot of people out there that don’t really understand what LAWS does…by telling that story it allows me to then figure out how branding should look. The branding has to match the messaging of that story.” The organization will undergo a complete rebranding under Strangway’s plan with the goal of having a consistent look. “It’s a complete overhaul. Every single thing
from the website, promotional materials, letterhead and the logo is going to be changed,” she said. This is the part of the job Strangway excels at – studying and researching what’s been done before and coming out with a solution that works for the future of LAWS. She takes her role very seriously. “A branding is so much more than throwing together a dog and a cat and a big heart. It has to represent everything that LAWS is about, so we have to get it right,” she said. She has already approached the board with some new marketing taglines which will start to roll out once board members vote on their favourite. Next up for LAWS is the annual Walk for LAWS at Carleton Place’s Lambs Down Park Festival June 21 and this past Monday, May 12, Strangway launched a campaign selling T-shirts with net proceeds going to the shelter. “Over this year, it’s a great length of time to affect some change,” Strangway noted.

CDSBEO secondary schools participate in province-wide mass supported by Pope Francis News – Secondary schools in the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) took part in the historic province-wide mass held May 7 across Ontario to mark Catholic Education Week. Last fall, student trustees on the provincial OSTA-AECO Catholic
Board Council passed a motion to request the support of the Holy Father for the historic province-wide mass. A letter was received by Catholic Board Council leaders, Madeline Ellepola (Windsor-Essex CDSB) and Michael Pallotto (York CDSB), from the Vatican Secretary of State. The
letter, which contained Pope Francis’ message and blessings for the province-wide mass and Catholic Education Week, was shared at each mass. Pope Francis responded through Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and Canadian Cardinal Thomas Collins.
“His Holiness Pope Francis sends warm greetings to you, your brother Bishops, the priests, staff and students as you celebrate the Eucharist simultaneously across the province during Catholic Education Week,” the letter reads, in part. “He assures you of his spiritual closeness in this
great act of praise and worship in God.” Each mass was celebrated by the school’s parish priest, save two schools, which were celebrated by the head of the local diocese. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

Lanark County construction projects get started for season News – Highlights of the 2014 Lanark County public works construction program include one bridge replacement and 54.3 kilometres of roads being either rehabilitated or treated as part of ongoing pavement preservation efforts, amounting to a total construction budget of $9.2 million. Public works director Terry McCann notes federal gas tax funding covers $1.64 million of the costs, and the county received $2 million from the provincial Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative fund towards the replacement of the Mississippi River bridge on County Road 511 north of Balderson. “The public works department oversees construction, operation, repair and maintenance of 561.4 km of roads and 82 bridge and culvert structures,� he said. “Every year the department assesses the entire road system and makes a priority list that forms part of five-year plans. Council approves the projects year by year.� Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) says the county is committed to maintaining high standards for roads and bridges. “Our budget allocations for 2014 demonstrate our ongoing efforts to have a strong network that supports quality of life, public safety and our economy. Our public works department goes to great lengths to maintain our
roads and bridges in a cost-effective way,� he said.

Shelter your shelter Your home is your shelter and so much more: Not only is it very likely the largest purchase you will ever make, it’s the comforting and comfortable centre of family life and your family’s future -- and you need to protect it. The lender’s mortgage insurance is easy protection – a simple add-on to your mortgage – but lender’s insurance may not be the best way to shelter your shelter. The personal insurance option could be a better fit for you. 1. You own the policy and designate the beneficiary With mortgage insurance, the lender is the owner and beneficiary and is entitled to receive the full death benefit. There are no amounts that would be paid to your family. 2. Your coverage will not decrease Your personal insurance coverage remains level as your mortgage decreases. With mortgage insurance, you are covered only for the declining balance while continuing to pay the same, or perhaps higher, premiums.
Manage Your Money 3. Your personal insurance continues after the mortgage is paid With mortgage insurance, the coverage expires when the mortgage is paid off. 4. Only you can cancel or make changes Your premiums are guaranteed for the life of the plan and you can make changes as your needs change. On the other hand, the lender may change the premium or cancel a mortgage insurance policy at any time. 5. Your coverage stays with you if you move Personal insurance is portable but in most instances, you may not be able to transfer mortgage insurance to a new mortgage or new lender and need to re-qualify for new coverage. 6. Your coverage is confirmed when you apply Mortgage insurance may assess your eligibility only when you make a claim, leaving you unsure of your coverage. With
personal insurance, your medical history is reviewed before the policy is issued – you’re assured that coverage will be in place when you need it. Insurance is an important component of your overall financial plan and like your financial plan, the insurance you choose should be a perfect fit for your unique needs. Discuss your options with your professional advisor to ensure your plan provides the right protection for you and yours. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Reader urges newspaper to steer clear of electioneering DEAR EDITOR: Many articles in the EMC are submitted by the subject of the article. It is my understanding that the newspaper’s position is that, by adding a tagline at the end, stating who submitted the article, readers will be able to recognize any vested interest/bias that may be inherent. However, the “article” submitted by the office of MPP Randy Hillier in the May 8 edition (‘MPP Hillier welcomes loss of confidence in Liberal government’) is a particularly interesting case in point. It appeared during a period when the Elections Finances Act prohibits paid advertising. Yet of course electioneering is inherent in this submission, which is essentially an (unpaid) advertisement for Hillier. It con-
cludes with the bald assertion: “Hillier will continue to put the people of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington first and bring Ontario back on the road to recovery.” So he/his office didn’t (couldn’t) pay to place the “article”, but the EMC accommodated the incumbent’s electioneering. And I still find it odd that the article appeared under the banner “Regional News.” Call me old-fashioned, but I like to think that in newspapers, “news” is something reported by the paper itself.

COMMENTARY Be safe this long weekend Editorial – The Victoria Day weekend is traditionally a time for opening up the family cottage for the season and getting out and enjoying the milder weather. And that means more traffic on the roads. Included in that traffic are off-road vehicles and motorcycles. Due to the rising number of fatalities throughout the province, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are asking the public to be mindful when operating off-road vehicles (ORV) and motorcycles. According to a release from the OPP, 20 people died in ORV accidents in 2013, a spike from 12 in 2012. Alcohol and lack of helmet use remain large factors. OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair said that over the past 10 years, 263 people have died from ORV incidents. Choosing to combine alcohol and a lack of helmets when using an ORV makes little sense. Many of these senseless deaths could have been avoided if users would have strapped on a simple piece of equipment to protect them. Is such a poor decision worth the pain and suffering victims’ families go through? Motorcycle deaths are on the rise as well with 28 fatalities in 2013. Only 11 of that number were driving properly. Because motorcyclists have less protection on roadways, it’s important for all motorists to be aware of their surroundings and watch out for motorcycles. This week is Canada Road Safety Week (May 13 to 19). During this initiative, the OPP will be targeting the most dangerous driving behaviours, including failure to use seatbelts, distracted/aggressive driving, as well as alcohol and drug impairment. Enjoy the long weekend but stay alert and aware on the road.
Audrey was very fearful of not passing Entrance Class Lifestyle – Audrey prayed a lot. Of course, she was much older than I was, and I knew much smarter, and when she told me to get down on the braided rug by our bed to pray with her, I knew better than to ask why. Our family rarely varied from our bedtime routine. Once we had our necks washed, teeth brushed with baking soda, and nails cleaned, and had gotten into our pyjamas, we followed Mother upstairs and headed for the big braided rug under the window looking out towards the West Hill. As Mother settled into the rocking chair, we five children took our places on our knees around her, and whatever Mother prayed for we repeated verbatim. Once she had touched the tops of each head and we had said our amens in unison, we headed for our beds. But this time of year, when the end of the year was close at the Northcote School, my sister Audrey always had extra prayers to say, and of course, two praying at the same time, for the same thing, she convinced me had much more power than just one of us asking for a special blessing. The fact that the prayer had nothing
to do with me didn’t seem to matter. It was the number, Audrey said, that counted. And so, after the boys had gone to bed, Mother had gone back downstairs, and Audrey had blown out the lamp, she tapped me on the shoulder, and I knew without asking, we were in for another long and purposeful prayer on the braided rug by our bed. We had it drilled into us over many Sunday School classes, and long and purposeful prayers from our whale of a minister as he flailed his arms from the pulpit every Sunday at the Lutheran Church, that praying for material things was right up there with stealing chickens! I confess I often prayed for black patent shoes, and white stockings, and blonde curls like bad Marguirite, but I figured God would take into account my young age and forgive me. And of course, my prayers were silently said, so I was the only one who knew I had entered into this discretion, and I figured it was just between God and me. But once the school year was coming to a close, Audrey started in on these long prayers at night in the silence of our hall-bedroom upstairs.

“Make sure your eyes are closed,” she whispered...as if I didn’t know enough to close my eyes! And then she would start. The prayers themselves varied every night, but the plea was the same. Audrey prayed to pass out of the Entrance Class. There was never any doubt in my mind that she would pass with or without our special prayers, but Audrey wasn’t taking any chances. And so every night, right up until the day Miss Crosby handed out our report cards, Audrey and I got down on the rug by the bed and prayed that Audrey would pass out of the Northcote School. This of course, would go on for weeks, and by the time it was coming up to the last day of school, I was convinced God would be sick and tired of what Audrey and I were praying for.

Why Audrey was so scared of failing was beyond me. Of course, no one ever went back to school if they failed the Entrance Class, and that was what terrified my sister. One day, when we were sitting in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, and our Saturday chores had been done, I asked Audrey why it was so important that she get out of the Entrance Class. Couldn’t she just stay home with Mother? Goodness knows there was lots to keep busy at on the farm...the garden was being planted, spring housecleaning was under way, the summer clothes had to be gotten ready. And besides, lots of the older girls when they finished at the Northcote School would go off and get married if they passed or not! Well, Audrey didn’t even have a steady boyfriend, so that was out. And then she told me, almost in a whisper, as if she was telling some dark secret. “Do you know what the fate is for a farm girl who doesn’t pass out of the Entrance Class?” she asked. And her face took on a most serious look, almost as if she was heading for some terrible end. And then she said...again in a whisper...but with a sharpness in her voice ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES MANAGER Andrea McMurtry 613-283-3182 x169 SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988

that I rarely heard. “They go in to Renfrew and do housework for the rich people.” And she let out a long and purposeful sigh. “Housework...that’s what they do. And I would rather die than leave the farm and go into Renfrew to scrub and clean for the rich people!” And she named a few of the girls who once went to the Northcote School who didn’t pass at the end of year, and they were in Renfrew, away from the only home they knew, doing housework for the rich people. And so that was the fate of my beloved sister Audrey if she didn’t pass out of the Entrance Class. Once she told me that, I no longer felt the same about our secret nightly prayer at the side of my bed. I put my mind right to it and became just as fervent as my sister, begging God to help her get that report card from Miss Crosby at the end of the school year, saying she had passed out of the Entrance Class, saving her from doing housework in Renfrew for the rich people.

Parkhill defends NDP pulling plug on Liberals, lauds party job tax credit plan By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – The boys are back in town, but the place sure looks different. With the exception of the Green Party candidate, the big three parties in Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington (LFLA) are represented by the very same men who carried their party banners in the Oct. 6, 2011 vote. And while New Democratic Party candidate David Parkhill is not new to this rodeo, he won’t have to be changing his tune this time around – unlike his two main opponents, Liberal Bill MacDonald, and incumbent Progressive Conservative MPP Randy Hillier. “In a way it is a rehash,” Parkhill admitted during a telephone interview on the return end of a business trip from Toronto on May 12. “In a way, it is a whole new filter,” for the other candidates at least. He explained that, in 2011, “Bill spent a lot of time backpedalling on Liberal policies at the time. It’ll be interesting to see him backpedal this time. Randy has had his schism within his party,” when he was fired as the party’s labour critic this past summer for internal party quarelling over a construction union bill. “(Hillier) no longer appears to have the ear of the party as he once had.” While Tamworth resident Cam Mather is the only newbie to this race, he said he would miss his former Green opponent, Nancy Matte of Appleton. “I’ll miss her,” he said. “We got along very well during the last campaign.” While he was cordial with Matte, he charged that Hillier has been less friendly with Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals. During his nearly seven years at Queens Park, “all he’s ever said
is ‘No.’ Nothing has been accomplished. If you are willing to sit down with people, you get things accomplished.” However, NDP refusal to support Finance Minister Charles Sousa’s May 1st budget is what led to this election being called in the first place, with New Democrat patience having run out. While there was new infrastructure and social spending in the budget, Parkhill stood by his leader’s decision to pull the plug on the Liberals. “I think Andrea (Horwath) was absolutely right,” he said, admitting that quite a few progressive and labour union leaders had urged her to support the budget anyway. “If I was one of the other union leaders, I would say of that budget that was presented, I would say, it looks okay,” he said. But, as he saw the budget, it was not sustainable. While his party counts 70 promises in the 2014 budget, he was still waiting on several promises from the 2013 budget to be followed up on, including an accountability office, which “didn’t appear,” or automobile insurance relief, or home care wait list relief. Already, the air campaign, namely, radio and television ads, have begun airing, with the Liberals first out of the gate, targeting Horwath. “I think it (the Liberal ad) is a back-handed compliment,” he said. “They are a lot of soft Liberals out there who are saying… ‘I don’t know if I can hold my nose and vote for them again.’” The polls remain widely in flux and with several weeks, and the leaders’ debates still to come, anything could happen. A poll-of-polls done by the website threehundredeight.com projected that, as of May 12, with infield polling going to May 9, that the Progressive Conservatives would fill out a one-seat majority of 55, the Liberals would squeak
David Parkhill in as the official opposition at 28, and the NDP would be in third place with 24 seats. However, an earlier poll by the same website found that the Liberals would win 44 seats, to the PCs 40, and the NDP at 23, which could result in the NDP once again in the position of power. “I don’t think you would need a formal coalition,” said Parkhill. In 2011, after the McGuinty Liberals were reduced to a minority government, “we decided, ‘Okay, we are willing to work with a minority government and work with McGuinty and Wynne.” Looking back, he said that the first Liberal budget was paletable to the left-of-centre party. The second budget came at a time when Ontarians were “starting to get word of (the) gas plant scandal and stuff like that.” The third budget however was too much.
However, “if Wynne is elected again, our mandate is to work with her…that’s what the people of Ontario want.” Large riding Closer to home, Parkhill knows that he is again faces a daunting challenge, with a huge riding, with just as many diverse

“This precarious employment is killing me,” he said, adding that there was plenty of full-time work out there – if “you are a temporary foreign worker.” He pointed to his party’s Job Creation Tax Credit as one way to kick-start the economy in eastern Ontario. The program would provide provincial tax credits up to $5,000 or 10 per cent of a person’s wage to employers creating new employment. “If you are investing in manufacturing, we will give you a sweet deal,” said Parkhill, or, indeed, a sweet deal for any jobs created. “If you’re not hiring, you’re not getting a tax break.” The NDP would also change the corporate tax structure, and create more tax breaks for middle and small businesses. He noted that big corporations like the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and insurance companies, “are getting away with murder,” in how they pay taxes. So far, the only debate scheduled for Lanark County is scheduled for Thursday, May 29, to be held in Carleton Place, and hosted by that town’s chamber of commerce. A time and location has yet to be determined. Note: This is the first in a series of articles profiling the candidates of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington in the run-up to the Thursday, June 12 election.

challenges from one end to the other. On the first official weekend of the campaign, he awoke before 5 a.m. at his home outside of Kingston, drove to Carleton Place to attend a press conference hosted by Kory Earle, president of People First of Ontario. He listened intently, had a quick chat with Earle, drove home, showered, and then went back to work. “I may as well be honest about it,” he said. “I live fourand-a-half minutes outside of the riding.” But he is quick to deflect criticism of not living in the riding. “How does someone who lives in Perth represent the interests of people who live in Yarker,” and vice versa, he asked. In Lanark County, one of the top issues for him has been the move for a new hospital for Carleton Place, where he faulted Hillier for his antagonistic attitude at Queen’s Park for failing to move the ball forward. “We don’t have someone in the legislature who can bring himself down to talk with Liberals,” he said. While he admitted that Kemptville College was outside of the riding, for rural residents “it is of importance to the riding.” Overall, however, the biggest issue is jobs, or lack of them, or underemployment.

Although no self-respecting golf club would remain closed, the weather was still causing a slow start to the season on May 3.

Canadians living the dream at the national championship Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; We recently returned from an enjoyable spring driving vacation in the New England states. The mainly sunny, temperate weather we experienced is a far cry from what happened at home while we were away. It was cold and wet here. More like fall than spring. And the arrival of fall signals the start of hockey season in Canada. When the normally warm breezes of spring arrive (we finally felt them this past weekend), the elite teams in hockey are continuing along the lengthy and difficult playoff trail. This year there is no club in Junior A hockey more deserving to be called â&#x20AC;&#x153;an elite teamâ&#x20AC;? than the squad from my adopted hometown. The Carleton Place Canadians are enjoying a truly incredible season. The fact they are still playing hockey in May underlines the fact. There are only five of 127 Canadian Junior A hockey teams still playing at the moment and Carleton Place is among them. They are competing in the national championship tournament, the Royal Bank Cup (RBC), which this year is being played in the British Columbia interior community of Vernon. As of this writing they were 1-1 in the round robin. Canadians defeated host Vernon Vipers 3-2 in their opener Saturday, but fell
4-3 against Dauphin (Manitoba) Kings Sunday. Carleton Place faced crucial games Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon as they aimed to qualify for the playoffs in the tournament. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long and difficult road to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Final Fiveâ&#x20AC;? in the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL). To clarify, Carleton Place is actually one of three regional champions this year along with Toronto Lakeshore Patriots and Yorkton (Saskatchewan) Terriers. Vernon, who have the most national championships (six) to their credit, were swept in the final of the British Columbia Hockey League playoffs but qualify because they are the hosts. Dauphin made it to the nationals as the western Canada runners-up. Carleton Place is the newest entry in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL), one of 10 Junior A leagues across the country governed by the Calgarybased CJHL. Under the leadership of head coach and owner Jason Clarke, Canadians have completed a truly remarkable â&#x20AC;&#x153;doubleâ&#x20AC;? this season. In just their fifth campaign in the 12-team CCHL, Carleton Place set new standards for winning in a league that is more than 50-years-old. What is now the CCHL began play in 1961 as the Ottawa-Hill District Junior Hockey League. On Easter Sunday Canadians
bye to the final.
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
scored a thrilling, come-frombehind 2-1 victory over arch rival Smiths Falls Bears. That triumph, in front of a capacity crowd at Carleton Place and District Community Centre, gave Canadians the CCHL championship in five games. Trophy No. 1, the BogartNielsen Cup, was hoisted in front of a wildly happy home crowd. Ten days later Carleton Place was in Saint-Jerome, Quebec northwest of Montreal where they represented the CCHL in the Fred Page Cup (FPC) Eastern Canadian championship tournament. The four team competition included host Saint-Jerome Panthers of the Quebec Junior AAA League, along with Quebec champion Granby Inouk and Truro Bearcats, the winners of the Maritime Junior A Hockey League title. Bearcats were the defending FPC champions after hosting and winning the 2013 tournament. Although the games were anything but easy, Canadians swept the round robin downing the host Panthers 6-4, doubling Granby 4-2 and edging Truro 2-1. Carleton Place earned a
Cheering from afar Sadly, I was unable to attend the Fred Page Cup. We were away on our long-planned driving holiday in the New England states with our friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc. But as we drove the country roads of Vermont and New Hampshire, on our neverending search for new and longer covered bridges, Canadians werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t far from our minds. They were at our fingertips in fact. Wendy, who is the mayor of Carleton
Place, is also a dedicated Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fan. Using their portable devices Wendy and Kathy were able to access the tournament website which streamed up to the minute data on every game. Judging by the screams of excitement coming from the back seat I knew our heroes were continuing the consistent play which got them to Saint-Jerome! Panthers, who upended Truro 5-2 in the semi-final, were Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opponent in the championship game on Sunday afternoon, May 4. The crowd of more than
1,800 was primarily comprised of Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fans. But I was told the estimated 250 Carleton Place fans that made the more than two hour drive to suburban Montreal provided tremendous vocal support all afternoon. Canadians trailed 1-0 late in the first. But a powerplay marker from Michigan native Vinny Post with 1:25 left in the opening frame pulled the visitors even. It stayed that way until the 7:17 mark of period three. See COLUMN page 24 R0012698675_0515

New home construction market headed for a soft landing in 2014 Business — Housing starts in Canada were trending at 183,515 units in April compared to 184,602 in March, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “In April, the trend in housing starts was essentially stable at 183,515 units. This is in line with CMHC’s analysis indicating that the new home construction market in Canada is headed for a soft landing in 2014,” said Mathieu Laberge, deputy chief economist. “Over the remainder of the year, builders are expected to continue to adjust activity, particularly with respect to multiples, in order to manage inventory levels.” CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from
one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 194,809 units in April, an increase from 156,592 in March. The SAAR of urban starts increased to 176,792 units. Multiple urban starts increased to 117,612 units while the single-detached urban starts segment increased to 59,180 units. In April, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts increased in Ontario, the Prairies and Quebec, and decreased in Atlantic

REGIONAL NEWS
Connected to your community
Leeds Grenville releases four new promotional videos, launches YouTube channel News – Fresh and engaging videos to promote our distinctive region are now live on the newly-launched United Counties of Leeds and Grenville YouTube Channel (youtube.com/LeedsGrenville). We invite you to view and share our videos, subscribe to our YouTube channel, and visit LeedsGrenville.com for more in-depth regional information. The four new videos are crisp and concise using a friendly “we invite you” concept to highlight all 13 member and partner municipalities within the Leeds Grenville region. The United Counties slogan “Where lifestyle grows good business” is a main theme throughout, featuring up-close spotlights on local business combined with sweeping aerial
footage of signature locations. “Having quality video is more important than ever if you’re going to attract new business and investment,” Leeds Grenville Warden Ron Holman said. “These videos clearly show what we have to offer in terms of location and that we’re open for business. We’re positioned well in the marketplace, offer lower costs, shorter commutes and all in a region known for its iconic tourist attractions,” he said. “Our videos bring forward our digital marketing strategy and add to our online toolkit of being investment ready,” said United Counties economic development manager Ann Weir. “The videos make a statement and can be used to promote our region online and to markets around
the world,” she said. The main promotional video is approximately three minutes in length. Three shorter videos focus on the creative economy and investment attraction, new worker recruitment, and tourism attraction. The scripting expands on our region’s lower land and development costs, our accessibility to Canadian and US markets, our diversity and proud heritage, and for being a transportation and logistics hub in close proximity to Ottawa, our Nation’s Capital. Producing promotional videos is part of a four-year Counties Economic Development Strategic Plan through the Leeds Grenville economic development department. An update on the
and properties is updated nightly on the Invest site. The new videos can be viewed in the Video Gallery found on our website in the Invest section under Our Unique Advantage and in the Visit section under Discover Leeds Grenville. Every Leeds Grenville municipality has their own video playlist on both the United Counties website and its new YouTube channel. The United Counties economic development department would like to thank the many volunteers and businesses who participated in the video development, along with the crew from Crowe Productions Inc. Submitted by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.
plan was recently presented to counties council. Local footage videotaped during this project is also being shared for further marketing through Ontario East Economic Development Commission (OEEDC) and its soon to be released promotional videos. The United Counties website (leedsgrenville.com) was launched in 2012 and includes four main sections: Live, Govern, Visit and Invest. The site is designed to be a central repository of information on the United Counties and the many services it provides throughout the region. The website is home to an online business directory which is shared with 10 Leeds Grenville municipal websites. A listing of available lands

REGIONAL NEWS COLUMN From page 12
Carleton Place native Stephen Baylis, the playoff scoring leader for Canadians, came up with a shorthanded tally to give the CCHL champs the advantage. In the late going Canadians managed to kill two penalties. And then, with the Saint-Jerome goalie on the bench in favour of a sixth attacker, late season addition Dylan Gareau buried the puck in the empty Panthers’ goal. A jubilant Carleton Place team lifted trophy No. 2 – the Fred Page Cup! Canadians have made local sports history this season. They have also broken several CCHL records. But even the coaches, players and the team’s most ardent fans didn’t see a national championship berth in the offing when the long league campaign began way back on August 31. I know, because I asked those people! Dare they dream of a win at the RBC tournament in British Columbia? At this writing that dream remains alive. With two championship trophies already in their trophy case, this has been a truly phenomenal season for Carleton Place. They lost their first game in the season-opening CCHL Showcase in Kanata, falling 4-2 to Ottawa Junior Senators. Consistent winners They were edged 2-1 by Hawkesbury Hawks in their 2014
R0012703067_0515
debut Jan. 5. It was their first home ice defeat of the season following a record 18 straight victories at community centre. Then the Carleton Place steamroller shifted into high gear. The team embarked on an 18 game unbeaten run. Canadians ended the campaign with a CCHL record 110 points on the strength of 54 wins (also a league high), one overtime setback and a shootout loss. They established another league high water mark with 29 home victories and just one regulation time defeat in 31 outings on home ice. A remarkable accomplishment in any league, in any sport. They compiled the most points of any Junior A team among the 127 teams in 10 leagues that comprise the CJHL. Heading into the RBC, Carleton Place had won 70 of 82 games in all competitions. That also has to be some kind of record. Consistency has been the hallmark of their season! Qualifying for the RBC is an honour in and of itself. To reach the nationals Canadians had to win the FPC. In the 20-year history of the Fred Page Cup seven CCHL teams have won the event. Pembroke and Brockville Braves have done it twice. The Canadian championship is much more difficult to win. Only two teams from Eastern Ontario have ever triumphed at this level. The former Rockland Nationals hosted and won the 1976 competition. A very good Pembroke
club were the 2011 winners in Camrose, Alberta. This is the 19th year RBC has sponsored the competition. Pembroke is the only CCHL side to reach the final and win that particular trophy. From 1971 to 1995 the national trophy was the Centennial Cup. Rockland won in 1976. But in the 25-year history of that award just three other CCHL teams made it to the final at the nationals. Pembroke were runners-up in 1973 and 1977, losing to western Canada host teams in best-of-seven series on both occasions. A very good Smiths Falls’ club lost to Selkirk (Manitoba) Steelers in the 1974 final played in Nepean, falling in the seventh and deciding game. In 1995, the final year the Centennial Cup was presented, Gloucester Rangers hosted the tournament, losing 5-4 in overtime to Calgary Canucks in the title game. I have thoroughly enjoyed covering Carleton Place’s amazing playoff run for this newspaper. As I have said to so many people, this is as good as it gets in Junior A hockey. No matter what happens this week Canadians deserve tremendous credit for their efforts this season. There is a victory parade planned and I hope as many people as possible will be on hand to honour our local heroes!

Elvis comes to life in tribute at Studio Theatre June 20 moves, or heart-stopping good looks that take you back to 1956. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his attitude, body language and interaction with the audience, especially up-close, where he likes to be. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when your brain will insist that Elvis Presley is in the room and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not 1977 yet. Gino Monopoli is called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;superstar tribute artistâ&#x20AC;? because he takes the concept to a whole new level, a level the thousands of impersonators
out there can only dream of. For every minute of the show, he â&#x20AC;&#x153;becomesâ&#x20AC;? Elvis, capturing the look, sound and animal magnetism of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recognizable celebrity, and communicating with his audience like the world-class entertainer he is. His efforts have paid off handsomely, with more than a year of advance bookings across Canada, the US, Japan and the Caribbean.
In addition to concert tours and television appearances, Gino has won top honours at Elvis festivals across the continent, and even in Elvisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. His titles include Collingwood Grand Champion, Pacific Northwest Grand Champion and Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finest Elvis Tribute Artist. He has been featured on ABC, CTV, CNN, NBC, the BBC, and numerous local radio and TV stations.
Elvis may have left the building for good, but you can still experience the thrill of seeing The King in person. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss Elvis! Elvis! starring Gino Monopoli & The Blue Angels, June 20 at the Studio Theatre. Tickets are $30 at ShadowFax, 67 Foster St. in Perth. Doors open at 7 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you...thank you very much...â&#x20AC;? Submitted by Merv Buchanan, Trend Records & Concerts.

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true...Elvis will be in the building on June 20, courtesy of the incredible Gino Monopoli & The Blue Angels! You might be tempted to write this famous Canadian entertainer off as just another Elvis wannabe, until you attend one of his high-energy, 90-minute concerts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the costumes, hairstyle or moves that make his popular show so good. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not his voice,

Twice the Fun for online business in 2014
E
veryone likes to play games. The desire to unravel puzzles, solve mysteries and be the first to get to an agreed upon finish line is something we seem to be born with. In the 21st century there are all kinds of games to be played. The computer has replaced the way we do so many things from writing a letter, checking the weather and of course enjoy our games. The new ways are not all bad, just different. Given an opportunity to experience playing a real and not virtual board game, most people come away with good feelings. It is all part of enjoying playing with others. As children we experience the feeling of togetherness, having fun with our friends. Twice the Fun Games captures the essence of playing board games, card games and puzzles. The owner and operator of the online business in North Grenville, Boris Lysynski has a foot in two worlds. As a former electronic engineer he can appreciate the thrill of the virtual gaming world but as a life-time board game fanatic he also enjoys the different experience of facing an opponent in a live game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a gamer,â&#x20AC;? said Lysynski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want people to sit down together and have fun together.â&#x20AC;? In keeping with
his interest and enthusiasm for board games Lysynski is part of the North Grenville Gamerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Group, NG3. While Boris is growing Twice the Fun Games he is also sharing the fun with his neighbours. As part of the NG3, he has helped organize the first annual gaming convention â&#x20AC;&#x153;CoyoteConâ&#x20AC;? for North Grenville. In cooperation with Kemptville Campus, the NG3 will be hosting CoyoteCon on June 21. The event will be held at the W.B. George Centre. The room will be divided in two, explained Lysynski. One side will be ongoing live board games and on the other side will be sponsoring vendors. The always-popular Tri-Game-A-Thon typically sees 25-30 players and showcases: Ticket to Ride; Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne. The storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online presence has grown and now he feels it is time for a storefront. Twice the Fun Games has found a home in the lower level of the former Giant Tiger building across from B&H Grocers in Old Town Kemptville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be joining up with the Kemptville Crafters Market this May,â&#x20AC;? said Lysynski. Twice the Fun Games will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the market. Twice the Fun Games can be found at www.twicethefungames. ca or for more information, call 613-702-6620.

“May is Speech and Hearing Month” is an annual opportunity for Audiologists and Speech- Language Pathologists to educate the public regarding the difficulties faced by those with communication barriers such as hearing loss, and speech and language disorders. As an audiologist for 20 years, I have been privileged to assist my clients, both children and adults, with hearing loss. For children, undiscovered hearing loss, whether from birth or fluctuating hearing sensitivity from ear infections, can lead to delays in speech and language development, risk of educational failure, social isolation from peers and poor self-esteem. Unfortunately, US studies show a rise in hearing impairment among teenagers contributable to noise exposure. While some of my adult clients have developed hearing loss due to illness, the majority of adult population develops hearing loss slowly over time, often due to aging or noise exposure. According to Statistics Canada, more than 1,000,000 Canadians have some degree of hearing loss, with the number of hearing impaired Canadians rising steadily following the ages of 3544 with just under 50 per cent of the population having hearing loss over the age of 45.
Untreated hearing loss can cause stress in the family as the ability to communicate becomes more difficult, increase fatigue due to the strain of struggling to hear and, impede one’s ability to perform one’s job. Many of my clients have reported limiting their social activities, including volunteer work, due to their inability to communicate or enjoy conversation across the table. Some have reported feeling isolated, lonely and depressed. Fortunately, hearing aids can greatly improve the quality of life for hearing impaired individuals. Hearing aids can make conversation easier to hear, improving communication and decreasing listener fatigue. Over the last 20 years, hearing aid technology has improved enormously and today’s digital hearing aids range greatly in terms of technology level and cost, enabling me to successfully fit more clients. If you are concerned that you or a loved one is experiencing a hearing loss, contact an audiologist to arrange a hearing test. Your audiologist can determine if a hearing aid is necessary and start you down the path to better communication! Debra Wilson is a recognized audiologist with Helix Hearing Care Centre. She has an office in Perth. For more information on Helix, visit www.helixhca.com.

JOHNSTON, Mark – Dearly loved son, brother, caring father, uncle and friend to many. January 24, 1962 - May 13, 2003. He is gone but not forgotten, And, as dawns another year: In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near. Days of sadness will come o’er us, Many think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, That lies in the heart concealed. Always loved and missed, Mother Eileen Johnston
TOUPIN, Dennis James November 16, 1969 - May 19, 2013 My wonderful son. Of all the special gifts in life However great or small, To have you as my son DAGENAIS – In loving memory of Thelma Dagenais Was the greatest gift of all. A special time, a special face who passed away May 15, 2005. A special Son I can’t replace You were tired, I saw it in your face. With an aching heart, The end was coming at a fast pace. I whisper low But, how I wanted you to stay… I miss you Son, and love you so. In time, I came to understand, your will was not my command. Love Mom and Rich Life just became too hard for you. I didn’t want to see…but I knew… You had to be where you could fly. Mom, It’s too hard to say good-bye. You were mine for all those years, I’ll miss you and cry my tears. But I also know, that’s okay… for we’ll be together again some day. Love your daughter Darlene

I will always think of you - Your Husband. My thanks to the many friends who helped me cope with the loss of my wife. God Bless You, Heiko Siemann RINGER – In loving memory of Robert K. Ringer, May 17, 1994. Fond are the ties that are broken, Dear is the one that is gone, In memory we shall keep him As long as the years roll on. As we loved him, so we miss him, In our memory he is dear Loved, remembered, longed for always, Bringing many a silent tear. “In silence we remember.” Lovingly Remembered wife Violet, children grandchildren & great grandchildren
McDANIEL - Terry (Turk) May 17, 2011 A rose once grew where all could see, Shelter beside a garden wall, As the days pass swiftly by, It spreads its branches straight and tall, One day a beam of light shone thru a crevice, That had opened wide, The rose bent gently towards its warmth, Then passed beyond to the other side, Now you who deeply feel its lose, Be comforted the rose blooms there, Its beauty even greater now, Nurtured by Gods loving care, Forever missed, Forever loved Betty.
OBITUARY
DAVIS “Vi” Our beloved Mother and friend, peacefully passed away April 9, 2014, at the age of 88, in Algonquin, Ontario. She was born on May 25, 1925 in the Hazlet District of Saskatchewan, the second youngest daughter of William and Alice Cline. On August 4, 1943, she married Daniel Davis of Saskatchewan. Dan was in the army and stationed at Prince Albert at the time. He later transferred to the Air Force and was stationed at Trenton, ON. When Dan went to Ontario, Vi stayed in Saskatchewan, to give birth to Dale on October 23, 1944. When he was three months old, Vi took Dale with her to Ontario to join her husband. Six months later, Dan was discharged from the Air Force. They moved back to Saskatchewan, where they rented a farm in the Webb District. While there, a daughter, Gloria, was born on the 9th of July, 1946. They returned to Ontario in 1948, where they bought a farm near Jasper. Daniel Raymond Davis was born on July 27, 1963.

LCBO stores raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis Canada News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Starting April 27, the public can help support Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Canada during May, Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month by making a donation at any of the more than 635 LCBO stores throughout Ontario. Donation boxes for Cystic Fibrosis Canada will be displayed at LCBO checkouts until May 24. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful for the support of the LCBO, its employees and especially its customers, to help raise funds and awareness to help Canadians with cystic fibrosis,â&#x20AC;? says Maureen Adamson, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Cystic Fibrosis Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the support of our partners, like LCBO, we are able to continue to invest in life-saving CF research and care. This is a great opportunity to contribute to the fight against cystic fibrosis.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;LCBO is pleased to partner with Cystic Fibrosis Canada and support a variety of worthy causes throughout the year,â&#x20AC;? says LCBO president and CEO Bob Peter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The generous support from LCBO customers and staff helps these charitable organizations make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and communities across Ontario.â&#x20AC;? Cystic Fibrosis Canada is one of 28 provincial, as well as numerous local charities, that will benefit from LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s province-wide donation box program in 2014. In 2012, LCBO raised a total of more than $6.6 million for charities through special programs and initiatives, of which $6.1 million was raised through in-store fundraising. In addition, LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual dividend transfer to the Ontario government, which totalled $1.7 billion in fiscal 2012-13, excluding taxes, supports a wide range of important government programs, services and priorities, including health care and education. Cystic Fibrosis Canada thanks the public for its support when shopping at their local LCBO store from April 27 to May 24. About cystic fibrosis Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. It is a multi-system disease that affects mainly the lungs and the digestive system. In the lungs, where the effects are most devastating, a build-up of thick mucus causes severe respiratory problems. Mucus and protein also build up in the digestive tract, making it difficult to digest and absorb nutrients from food. As improved therapies have helped to address the malnutrition issues, ultimately most deaths related to cystic fibrosis are due to lung disease. There is no cure. Cystic Fibrosis Canada Cystic Fibrosis Canada is one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top three charitable organizations committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis and is an internationally-recognized leader in funding CF research, innovation, and clinical care.

Community gets on board with CN Cycle for CHEO, raises $804,034 for pediatric cancer outstanding event.â&#x20AC;? Just prior to the start of the Esso 15K Cycle & inline skate the annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angelsâ&#x20AC;? tribute was held as a memorial to all of the children at CHEO whose lives have been cut short by cancer. The tribute is named after Tori Carswell, member of the 2002 Dream Team who lost her battle with cancer in 2004 at the age of nine-yearsold. Also honoured were past Dream Team members Hannah Billings and Evan Simms who also lost their battles with cancer. This year, 168 teams took part in the Ottawa Citizen Team Challenge. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning team is Ericsson who brought in a total of $54,364. Congratulations goes out to Julie Villemaire who was the winner of the draw among all registered CN Cycle participants who raised more than $250 for airfare for two to any Air Canada destination in North America. CN along with other corporate sponsors helped to underwrite the costs of the event which allows every dollar pledged by supporters to benefit the CHEO Foundation, Candlelighters and Ronald McDonald House and in turn, the children and families affected by cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing former CHEO cancer patients out riding and walking amongst the thou-
OFAH, OPG partner on TackleShare program News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Youth across Ontario will get access to the gear and the knowhow to become expert anglers this summer as the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters/ Ontario Power Generation (OFAH/OPG) TackleShare program gets ready to sweep the province for another year of fishing events beginning in May. OFAH/OPG TackleShare is designed to break down barriers that keep kids from experiencing the joy of fishing by providing everything young anglers need. Participants simply sign out a rod, reel and tackle the same way they would borrow library materials. OFAH/OPG TackleShare runs two programs: TackleShare Loaner Sites, which loans gear at more than 140 loaner sites across Ontario, and Travelling TackleShare, which brings fishing gear to a variety of events in different locations during the summer. The Travelling TackleShare crew also gives presentations on fish identification, invasive species, the food chain, fishing tips and water safety. As title sponsor for the past five years, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) recently
made a three year commitment to ensure Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth continue to reap the benefits of fishing safely in the great outdoors for years to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to understand that water near hydroelectric dams and stations can become dangerous in seconds,â&#x20AC;? says OPGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice-president of hydroelectric and thermal operations, Mike Martelli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleased to partner with OFAH on TackleShare to help support Ontario families experience the joy of fishing while teaching them to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stay Clear and to Stay Safeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; around OPGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 65 hydroelectric stations and 240 dams.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Ontario children should have the opportunity to catch their first fish, building memories that will last a lifetime,â&#x20AC;? OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;OFAH/OPG TackleShare makes that experience possible for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the gear, but want to give fishing a try.â&#x20AC;? For more information, visit www.tackleshare.com and follow us on Twitter @ OFAHTackleShare for event reminders and highlights throughout the summer.
sands of participants, is a true testament to the importance of CN Cycle for CHEO. Many of them have battled cancer and survived.
How wonderful it must be for them to be surrounded by thousands of people who want to help children just like them. On behalf
of all families whose lives have been touched by cancer I want to thank the participants, volunteers, sponsors and donors for making
this important event such a huge success,â&#x20AC;? said Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive officer of the CHEO Foundation.
Proceeds from CN Cycle for CHEO will be presented on the CHEO Telethon on CTV, which airs on June 7 and 8.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; People from all over the National Capital Region got on their bikes, strapped on their rollerblades and put on their running shoes earlier today as the CN Cycle for CHEO took to the streets of Ottawa. Everyone was out to raise money to help kids with cancer at CHEO and the CHEO Foundation was thrilled to announce an incredible grand total of $804,034. Two of the three members of The 2014 McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream Team were on hand to represent the thousands of kids who rely on CHEO each year. Over the past three months, CHEO cancer patients Justin Leblanc, Michael Meehan and Madison Primeau have been helping promote the event, while raising funds themselves to help the thousands of kids just like them who are fighting cancer. Due to complications with his treatment, Justin was unfortunately unable to attend the event. Claude Mongeau, president and chief executive officer of CN, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone at CN is thrilled to be involved in this event. The CN Cycle for CHEO makes life better for families dealing with pediatric cancer and that makes us proud to be the title sponsor. The enthusiasm of the people of Ottawa is infectious and we love being part of this

SFDCI graduate, middle distance runner makes Trinity University team Sports – The Trinity Western University (TWU) track and field team officially added a signed middle distance and cross-country runner to the team, and she’s a Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute graduate. Hannah Gaensler, who graduated from SFDCI in 2012 after moving to Ontario in her Grade 12 year, comes to TWU for what will be her third year of eligibility, having previously attended Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, N.Y. Prior to moving to Smiths Falls, she lived in Seven Sisters Falls, Man. The 5-foot-8 middle distance runner, who competed at the club level with the Winnipeg Optimist Athletics and the Ottawa Lions, has personal bests of 10:13 in the 3000m and 4:45 in the 1500m. “Recruiting and building a nationally competitive team happens in two different ways,” head coach Laurier Primeau said. “While, on the one hand we work hard to proactively search out talent that we believe will fit into TWU’s culture, sometimes God delivers unexpected talent to us. Hannah fits into the second category. One day, out of the blue, she contacted me and we have worked hard over the past four months to determine that TWU is going to be a good academic, spiritual and athletic fit for her. Hannah’s running talents have earned her accolades both in Manitoba and Ontario, and now it is time to demonstrate her running ability in British Columbia.” With Roberts Wesleyan, Gaensler helped the women’s team to the 2013 NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) cross country championship.
JOURNEY OF ART The Hidden Treasures Art Show and Sale held at the Kinsmen Pavilion on Mother’s Day weekend was well attended and featured a wide array of arts and crafts. The artists were almost all on hand to chat about their work with customers. Above, Nicole Crowder’s unusual watercolours garnered a fair bit of attention from customers and fellow artists alike. To the right, during her years living in the Philippines, Sandy McRae learned a great deal about pearls and their many different forms. Below, Pam Hill’s bright and whimsical paintings are always a draw at any showing because of their vibrant colours and hidden surprises. Photos by HOWAIDA SOROUR

Hannah Gaensler, SFDCI graduate, has made the track team at her new university in British Columbia. While still in Manitoba, she was a three-time provincial champion in the 3000m, winning in 2009, 2010 and 2011. She finished ninth in the 3000m at the 2012 OFSSA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) track and field championships. Academically, Gaensler maintained a 3.98 GPA on a 4.0 scale at Roberts Wesleyan. “There are a lot of schools near my home in Ontario that I could potentially study at but, for some reason, I am going across the country, trusting that God knows why I am to go to TWU,” said Gaensler, who plans to study nursing. “I am very excited and I look forward to all that lies ahead. It seems like TWU has a great nursing program and a great distance team. It looks like a good fit for me.” Submitted by Trinity Western University

councillors Graham and Brennan, I think that in the right circumstances the town could have a facility for the youth,” said Coun. Chris Cummings. His sentiments were echoed by Quinn who added that if the town sold 140 Elmsley St. instead of tearing it down, the funds could provide the seed money for a youth facility. “I would be supportive of having a municipal building for the youth,” said Coun. Lorraine Allen. Community donations policy Following direction from council, municipal staff have now prepared a Community Donations Policy to help guide future councils on the handling of community asks. “This is a matter that has been circulated to council and we’d like feedback from council,” said Fournier. The draft policy stipulates that council will decide each year on a budget figure that they will set aside for community donations at the first budget meeting held annually in December. Decisions on how the funds are subsequently allocated will be determined later in the budget process according to the new policy. Along with the policy, staff also presented council with a draft community donation application, which clearly sets out the documentation that community groups will be required to provide when they apply for a municipal donation. “I had proposed this policy in December and I’ve had a few meetings with staff since then,” said Cummings, “I’m good with it as it stands, but I know Director Kerry Costello was open to any changes or suggestions from council.” The draft policy can be viewed on the
town’s website under council agendas. Federal Gas Tax Acting CAO Stephen Fournier brought forward a new Municipal Funding Agreement for the Federal Gas Tax transfers. “The matter arises because our current agreement for the Federal Gas Tax transfer through the Association of Municipalities of Ontario expires and needs to be renewed,” said Fournier. The new five-year agreement sets out the amounts that would accrue to the town and how those funds can be used. Under the new agreement the town will receive $260,000 twice a year in the first year indexed at two per cent per year, meaning that the amount would increase to $286,000 twice a year by the end of the proposed agreement. According to the Infrastructure Canada website Federal Gas Tax funds can be used by a municipality for public transit, wastewater infrastructure, drinking water, solid waste management, community energy systems, local roads and bridges and capacity building. A bylaw authorizing the execution of the agreement will be tabled at the next council meeting. OMAFRA The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Rural Affairs has launched an online tool for economic development staff. However the tool is proprietary and requires licensing. The tool allows staff to access statistical data and information that according to Fournier would be very useful to the economic development department. “What we propose is to bring in a bylaw to execute a licensing agreement for the use of the OMAFRA tool,” said Fournier. The proposal was well received by council.

585 Squadronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60th Annual Review is in the final stages of organization By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
News - The 585 Rideau Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets are gearing up for their annual cadet review on Sunday, May 25 at 12:30 p.m. at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. Formed in 1954 this will be the squadronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60th review. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the highlight of the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training which includes a formal squadron inspection and static displays of what the cadets have accomplished during the year,â&#x20AC;? said Capt. Doug Irish, commanding officer 585 squadron. This year the senior cadet in charge of the review parade is Warrant Officer First Class Destiny Sherman, while the reviewing officer will be Lieutenant-General Yvan Blondin, Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lieutenant General Blondin has held many commands throughout his career including commander of the Canadian CF18 Operational Force in Aviano, Italy and Commander Canadian NORAD region from 2009 to 2011, among several,â&#x20AC;? said Irish. The 585 Rideau Squadron currently has 43 cadets from the region enrolled and they come from Kemptville, Smiths Falls, Portland, Perth and Carleton Place, drawing
on a large audience. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review promises to be a special event with a number of different attractions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to have a static glider coming from Mountain View, the regional gliding centre, that the cadets have been training on,â&#x20AC;? said Irish. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also working on a control tower simulation display, including a flight simulator that will be up and running according to Irish. There will of course be a drill demonstration that the cadets have been working on and this year theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re setting up a Q&A area for cadets to answer questions and explain what they have completed through the training year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the parade is also recognition of accomplishments, and we have quite a list of awards that are being given this year,â&#x20AC;? said Irish. The awards include the Lord Strathcona Medal of Excellence in recognition of exemplary performance, the Air Commodore Burchill Wing award that recognizes the top cadet from each of the five squadrons with the Air Commodore Burchill Wing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the first time this year the Smiths Falls Flying Club is presenting Continuation Flying
Scholarships to two cadets,â&#x20AC;? said Irish. According to Irish the squadron has cadets who received their pilot licenses last year and this scholarship gives them the air time to continue flying at the Smiths Falls Flying Club during the fall season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have two cadets who will be able to take advantage of this scholarship before they head off to school,â&#x20AC;? said Irish. One of the annual highlights that will be featured again this year is the Lieutenant General Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Blenis Scholarship. Each year a deserving cadet moving onto post secondary education receives the $1,000 scholarship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no idea who it will be this year; we have two cadets that are vying for that scholarship,â&#x20AC;? said Irish. The Gordon Pipe band will be on hand to provide the music and this year some of the squadronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past cadets are working to set up booth for past members of the cadets, officers and sponsoring committee members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to see as many past members come to the review,â&#x20AC;? said Irish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We already have some past cadets in the regular forces who are doing everything possible to attend.â&#x20AC;?

Prescription drug drop-off day a success in town are highly dangerous drugs. “We would like to thank all of our citizens who took the opportunity to dispose of their unused prescription drugs at our drop-off locations. This is an important step in dealing the serious problems associated with prescription drug abuse in our town and across Canada,” said Const. David Murphy, community service officer at SFP. 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. Submitted by the Smiths Falls Police Service.

Looking Back
Remember When
100 YEARS AGO - MAY 12, 1914
This is a photo of employees of the Bell Telephone Company in front of the exchange, located on William Street. The first telephone switchboard was installed in Smiths Falls in 1885 for the Bell Telephone Company circuit that was to go from Ottawa to Brockville. This was one of the only places in Smiths Falls at the time to be run mainly by women. For information about purchasing this print, please contact Heritage House Museum at 613283-6311. If you have an old photograph to share, please email it to ljweir@metroland. com or by mail it to PO Box 158, 65 Lorne St., Smiths Falls, K7A 4T1.
At a meeting of the Railway Commission at Ottawa on Tuesday last, an application was made by the C.N.R. for interswitching arrangements with the C.P.R at Smiths Falls. The chairman of the commission said that there was no public demand for it and no order was made. Last night the council of the Board of Trade held a meeting and on behalf of the Board of Trade passed a resolution that facilities for the interchange of traffic between the two railroads at the point was of very great importance to the town and asking that an order be made providing for interswitching facilities. The town Council at a special meeting last night also passed a similar resolution. 50 YEARS AGO - MAY 14, 1914 The Smiths Falls Chamber of Commerce is considering a proposal that possibly the Chamber might amalgamate with the local Retail Merchant’s Association. David Lucas of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce told a meeting of the directors last Thursday that this has been done in many other communities and has worked out well. It was decided that Chamber president G.B. Swayne would discuss the idea with RMA president W.G. Sawdon and that possibly a joint executive meeting could be arranged at a later time to carry the suggestion further. 25 YEARS AGO - MAY 10, 1989 Lightening strikes twice at ‘jinxed’ plant. This week’s announced closure of the Tivoly-Butterfield factory comes almost 10 years to the day that the RCA Victor Record Manufacturing Plant shut down - a move some say the town is still trying to get over. Before April 27, 1979, a total of almost 300 people worked at RCA, making it the largest industrial employer in town. When it closed, in favour of contracting production to an independent company in Toronto, both federal and local politicians were looking for some way to replace the lost employment in an election year. 10 YEARS AGO - MAY 12, 2004 Town honours community friend. One glimpse at his incredible record of public service to the community that stretches back close to 45 years, and one wonders why this Citizen of the Year award presentation took so long. Better late than never. Before a crowd of more than 100 friends, family and community leaders last Wednesday, May 5 at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club, Gord Giff was named Smiths Falls Citizen of the Year for 2003. First announced as a surprise to Giff at a Smiths Falls council meeting last month, the former payroll supervisor who spent more than 37 years at Rideau Regional Centre before retiring in 1992, was no less overwhelmed by the honour as he made his way to the podium to accept the award to a warm standing ovation. Volunteering is just part of being a citizen of Smiths Falls, the humble recipient told the crowd at last week’s ceremony. Compiled by HOWAIDA SOROUR
Conversation with Jack; yes, I’m a crazy cat lady L
ifestyle – Sometimes, I have conversations with my cat. Such was the case last week when we decided to go for a car ride. Me: “Here kitty, kitty, kitty... let’s go for a ride.” Jack: Huh? Runs away... Me: “Ah, come on Jack, you’ll like it at my new place.” Jack: No way, I’m staying with Grandma... remains hidden, under layers of blankets, a stool, and a telephone table - how in the world did he get in there? Me: in a calm and soothing voice, “I can see you, don’t pretend you can’t see me.” I reach for him, he flattens himself to the floor, melted more like it, and becomes 110 pounds of dead weight, not the regular 18 pounds of sleek, black and white maleness. Jack: I am NOT going in that cage. Me: “Yes, my friend, you are, because that’s how we roll... you have to go in the carrier, how else am I to ‘carry’ you?” Jack: OK, try me. I need help for this one. “MOM!” She’s laughing hysterically at this crazy cat. Me: “No, dude, I’m not taking you to the vet, so you can relax.” Jack: Relax? Who, me? I am not relaxing. His feet go five feet wide, head contracts
LAURIE WEIR Weir View into his body. How did he do that? There is no way I can slip him into this crate when he is pretending he’s a camel lying spread-eagle in the desert sand. Good Lord. I’m laughing uncontrollably now and Mother’s no help. She can’t see the crate for tears in her eyes. Jack has already booted the door shut, several times. Claws have been flipped out like little jackknives. Lovely. Jack’s laughing, too... I heard him. After much stuffing and groaning, giggling and sighing, we finally get the door open. This could take a while. Mom, in her no-nonsense voice, eases the cat into said crate and we’re set for the journey north. (Not that far north.) Once in the car, the howling starts. I had no clue this guy could even meow, much less yodel like this. He’s just a squawking, this low, death knell… you would swear to the heavens that he was walking the Green Mile. His eyes, which are normally a brilliant shade of green,
are black with disbelief that he’s in a moving vehicle, and he’s now panting like a dog. Me: “Seriously, Jack?” Jack: I’m hot in here and I think my tongue is actually melting, and that’s why I’m sticking it out at you. OK, well there’s that. I crank up the AC, and step on the gas. ETA is just five minutes away. Finally, we land at my place. I set up his litter box, food and water dishes, scratching post, bed. And now… the cat. Opening the carrier on the dining room floor, his temperature has notched up a few degrees. No wonder the poor guy was panting. I showed him his litter box, and food, and let him have the run of the place. He proceeded to run all right… right under the bed – for a good half an hour. He eventually poked his nose out and then took a small tour of the pad, somewhat hesitantly. He was skulking… back pressed low to the ground, ears flattened to his head. Mom calls. “How’s he making out?” Me: “He’s hiding. I think he’s ticked off.” Mom: “Just leave him be. He’ll be fine.” Eventually, he made himself at home, right on my pillow, purring away, heart’s content. I think he likes being the lone wolf of this pack.

More PEP for adults with new program in Lanark County By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
News – When a community comes together for the greater good, big things happen. That’s the case for Drs. Bob and Babs vanNoppen who recognized their vision on May 1 when the official opening of the new Perth Enrichment Program for Adults took place at their Elliot Street Clinic in Perth. They had a list – a long list – of people to thank for making it all possible. “You might want to fill your glasses,” Bob said, as he hoisted his glass in a toast to his wife, Babs, to kick start the accolades during their grand opening and tours of the new facility. From their families and friends, to neighbours and fellow doctors, the architect, the builders, the staff… all played key roles in the development of this registered charity that will help seniors in their later years live more active lifestyles. Babs was skeptical at first when her husband and Suzanne Rintoul, a nurse at the clinic, began talking about the concept. She has since changed her way of thinking, and was the first to
congratulate her husband on his vision, his dedication and his love of his patients. “I was a bit of a naysayer and a doubter,” she told those gathered at the clinic to wish them well on their new adventure. “He is a courageous man, and has spent hours of planning and sketching and he carried on. I want to thank him for his vision.” Bob explained that his reason for developing the PEP program for seniors was that he felt there was a need in Perth and Smiths Falls communities to help care for and focus on helping them stay healthy and live at home longer.
them to come have some social time and enjoy the company of others in the community.” The program is operating two days a week currently, and soon a men’s program will be added on Fridays. There is a variety of activities to do, including day trips, which Whaley says are popular. There is a nutritional assessment program and instruction, physical assessment and activation, cognitive assessment and activities that improve function and emotional stimulation and support. Exercise and fall prevention training, health optimization interventions, advocacy for seniors, medication monitoring and family caregiver leave are also available for participants. The program is designed for older adults, living independently who require physical, social, cognitive or emotional support, Whaley says. The fee is $30 per Photos by LAURIE WEIR day and that includes therapeutic care, refreshments and a hot The Perth Enrichment Program officially opened at the Elliot Street Clinic on Thursday, May 1 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

It’s therapeutic, evidence-based programming with goals that are attainable for individuals,” she said. “Many For more information visit seniors feel lonely and isolated in www.morepep.ca or call Paula their homes… this is a chance for Whaley at 613-201-7172.

‘Promise of the Week’
Councillor explains position budget DEAR EDITOR: After several questions and calls about my thoughts on the 2014 Township of Rideau Lakes budget, I would like to explain my position. I did not support the budget because we are borrowing another $1 million. This will bring us close to $9 million in debt. Even though we pay off $1 million in debt a year, we continue to borrow $2 million. It’s hard to pay off our debt at this rate. There is also approximately $150,000 hidden in the salary line for a rainy day. There are two management positions that should be eliminated as they have been empty for months. Some staff could see a six to seven per cent salary increase as they are on a grid. It’s not a matter if it’s deserved, it’s whether or not we can afford it. There will also be the equivalent of 1,100 homes in tax arrears (based on a $200,000 value). We will collect $340,000 in interest on those arrears. This will net the township about $240,000 in income. We charge 15 per cent and borrow at four per cent. This is not right to be gouging our taxpayers in tough times.
I also feel the budget should be passed by Feb. 28 not the end of April. We are going to add more paved roads that will have to be maintained. There was an asset management plan done a few months ago that states we need $24 million to maintain our present roads over the next 10 years. Keep in mind that is $2.4 million a year we have not budgeted for in future. I can say I got our commitment to Bullfrog power cancelled; a contract that we have spent $15,000 over seven years to support green energy with no value to the residents of Rideau Lakes. This will save the township $2,000 a year. We also need to implement a hiring freeze and need a five to 10-year capital forecast plan and fast. The draft budget was presented before council had any input. Once at the table, it is hard to change the budget. I feel staff should have had a clear direction from all of council before the draft was introduced. Jeff Banks Councillor South Elmsley Ward

Learning to communicate on multiple platforms at Smiths Falls high school By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
Community - It started out as part of the high school literacy program initiated by Breanna Bedore for her Grade 9/10 students at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. It morphed into an innovative fundraiser with an educational component, and culminated in a virtual library for sick kids at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Initially, Bedore thought it would be great idea to have her Grade 10 students do a live story time at CHEO. The Grade 10 students already do something similar right here in town, when they walk to Chimo Elementary School and read to their kinder buddies every couple of weeks or so. Although CHEO was interested they couldn’t approve it. “That idea didn’t work out because of health and safety concerns,” said Bedore. Not prepared to give up, Bedore enlisted the help of Kaitlyn McNamara who had some innovative ideas. “So we went back to the drawing board and came up with a solution, which was to film the kids reading book and to upload them to a blog that the kids at CHEO could access at the hospital,” said McNamara, a communications consultant and owner of KissyPost.com. “The kids chose their own books to read and if they didn’t have one, we had
some they could choose from,” said Bedore. McNamara enlisted the help of two videographers both of whom had their own reasons for lending a hand. “I was very premature at birth and spent several months at CHEO,” said Alexander Vlad, editorial and commercial photographer and owner of Captivate Creative Studios who spent two days at SFDCI filming students with his assistant. Together Bedore and McNamara set up a space for the videography at the school and students took turns reading their book choices on camera. “That brought back a lot of memories, I recognized so many of the titles,” said Christopher Eade, videographer with Captivate Creative Studios. The next challenge is going to be to get permission from the publishers to air the readings. “We have some permissions so far, but I’ve got a long list of publishers to contact as well, but it will be worth it,” said McNamara. The virtual library isn’t the only collaboration between McNamara and Bedore. The two women are working together with the Grade 9/10 students on a fundraising campaign. “The culminating activity for the Grade 10s is to create their own children’s book based on their reading buddy’s personality and that’s how I teach
them the five elements of fiction and the writing process and they also learn how to publish a book,” said Bedore. But publishing requires funding and that’s where McNamara comes in. For the purposes of this class she provided the students with postcards they can sell to raise the funds they need but she launched the campaign with a communications workshop. “I started by telling them to take out their electronic devices and text everyone they needed to reach for the next 60 seconds, because after that they would have to put them away and be present for the next one-and-a-half hours,” said McNamara. The response from the students she said was positive and she went on to walk them through the idea behind postcards as a means of communication, how to go about fundraising, how to keep track of the funds and manage the entire process. “Their homework was to send a postcard to anyone they chose, to take a selfie of themselves sending the card as proof, and then upload it to a Twitter account we had created,” said McNamara. So while the Grade 10s focused their fundraising on raising enough to publish their books, the Grade 9s have been fundraising for new books to donate to CHEO and reading books on camera for the virtual library.

Private Claude John Best of Smiths Falls. into the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry as a Private. While overseas, he changed his unit and went into the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders. On September 5th, 1944, Private Best was killed in action after being awarded the Good Conduct Badge the previous day. Claude’s Qualification Card describes him as 5 foot 2 ¼ inches. He weighed around 115 pounds. His eyes were brown in colour. Claude was left handed with writing and other activities. He could only speak and write English. Claude enjoyed stamp collecting in his spare time. Claude’s interviewing officer for enlistment described him as: “A fine looking, bright, keen little fellow. Shows mechanical aptitude and should do quite well as a Bren Gunner on Bren Carrier. Legs are too short for efficient marching anyways.” From September 4, 1941 to December 3, 1941, Claude underwent basic military training in Brantford, Ontario. For the next month, Claude went through advanced training in Borden until January 1, 1942. Following his advanced train-
ing, he then moved to Kingston for a signal course until March 2, 1942. After completing this course, he returned to Borden for more advanced training. On July 8, 1942, he was assigned to the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry. Twelve days later, Claude embarked from Halifax to go overseas. He landed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 1942. On August 20, 1942, Claude had taken on strength of a field unit. Claude’s wage increased to $1.50 on January 1, 1943. He was then given a paid leave with a meal allowance for nine days starting on February 15, 1943. From May 4, 1943 to May 9, 1943, Claude was in a hospital. Three months later, he was granted a twelve-day privilege leave. On October 12, 1943, he was on guard duty at a base ordinance depot. On March 23, 1944, Claude was granted twelve days of paid privilege leave with meal allowance. Claude was then moved to the field on May 26, 1944. On June 10, 1944, Claude was placed into the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. Less than a month later, Claude was embarked from the United Kingdom and disem-
barked to France. He then took on strength of the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders on July 9, 1944. On September 4, 1944, Claude was given the Good Conduct Badge. Claude Best was killed in action on September 5, 1944. After Claude John Best’s death, his medals were entitled to his foster mother, Edith Sarah Best. Edith was given Claude’s 1939 to 45 Star (awarded after soldier has given after six months of duty), France-Germany Star (awarded if a soldier had given service in D-Day or the few days following), Defence Medal (awarded between September 3, 1939, to May 8, 1945 for six months of service in Great Britain), War Medal (awarded if a soldier worked full-time for 28 days in the armed forces and merchant marines from 1939 to 1945), and the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal with clasp (awarded to any soldier that volunteered in World War II for eighteen months).

Claude John Best, Private December 1st, 1922 – September 5th, 1944 Claude John Best was a 21-year-old soldier who died while fighting overseas in the Second World War. He was born on December 1st, 1922 in Pembroke, Ontario to unknown biological parents. He was instead raised by his foster parents; Edith Sarah Best (born 1884) and John Albert Best (born 1882). “I am the foster mother of this boy and took him in when he was about one year old from the (foster) home at Cobden, Ontario. They never gave me any papers so I never knew who his parents were. I supported him entirely without any assistance from the home. We tried to locate his mother and father or anyone connected with him, but we were never given any satisfaction. So we raised him as our own.” – Claude’s foster mother Edith Sarah Best. Claude had three foster sisters; Phelma Aunger (born 1902), Catherine Earle (born 1908), and Mabel Kennedy (born 1912). He was never married and had no children. He lived on Brockville Street in Smiths Falls, Ontario. He was a member of the United Church of Canada. The school Claude attended was unknown, although he did graduate from Grade 8. Claude worked as a general labourer (farmer and railroad gang) prior to enlistment. He signed up for the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry on September 4th, 1941 in Toronto, Ontario. Claude went

Old and new art masters hang side by side in perfect harmony at new gallery Business – Old masters blend with luminous new masters and local artists at Harmony Gallery on Russell Street. The new art gallery is celebrating its grand opening on May 21 and hosting a ribbon cutting with Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples starting at 5 p.m. “I have old masters, contemporary masters and local and personal art,” said Betty Compton, who owns the gallery with her husband. Located at 24 Russell Street East, the gallery is easy to miss if you’re driving but there is something about having an original Carneiros hanging beside a few rare lithographs of Picasso, Chagall and Matisse works, that makes it quite compelling to seek the place. “The response to the gallery has been overwhelmingly good,” she said. The long narrow space is striking, well lit and far more elegant than its previous incarnation. The Comptons had been living in St. Augustine, Florida for the past 25 years, and when they realized it was time to move back to be closer to aging family, they decided to come to Smiths Falls. “My mother and father-in-law have been here for 20 years, we’ve been visiting here for the last 20 years and we always loved Smiths Falls,” said Compton. They hadn’t really planned to purchase a commercial building when they got here, but the price was right and
when they toured the space they decided it was perfect for what they needed. Owning a gallery has been a dream for Compton but her original idea was to open a gallery featuring her art as well as that of her family. “When I told friends in Florida – one lady wanted to partner with me, because she wanted to sell her whole art collection through me,” said Compton. Since then she’s garnered a few more consigners and in the process, the entire concept of the gallery has changed. “So that seems to be my specialty – collectors resale,” said Compton. She also has a handy workshop at the back of the gallery where she offers workshops and hosts art events. “You can come with no experience and together we produce a painting in an evening,” said Compton. Right now, Compton is offering a “Make a Master” experience. She starts a group off with prepared, sketched canvases, prepared pallets, brushes and a two-hour sessions of paint-along instruction, so individuals or groups can walk away with a painting for $40 and lots of fun. The workshops she says are ideal for date nights, birthdays, family gatherings and events. “Come on your own, come with a group or join a group,” she laughs. On a more serious note, Compton, a portrait artist herself is always happy to take on commissions for portraits of Photo by HOWAIDA SOROUR people or pets. For more information Looking forward to the Grand Opening on Wednesday, May 21, Betty Compton stands between a Carneiro about Harmony Gallery, visit http://har(upper left) and a signed Linda LeKinf in her elegant compact gallery on Russell Street. monyartgalleryandstudio.com.

Check: Examine the hose leading from the tank to the burners. Replace if cracked or damaged. 3. Test: Find leaks by applying a 50/50 solution of water and dish soap to propane cylinder connections and hoses. If bubbles appear, tighten the connection and/or replace the damaged parts and retest.

Thursday twilight golf takes new streamlined approach to patrons Sports – May 8 marked the official return of the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club’s Thursday Night Men’s Twilight after a week’s delay due to our wonderful weather. But it was worth the wait, especially now that the head table has streamlined its operations to accommodate patrons. The changes include a faster, more efficient system for taking entries and fees, and an earlier start of 8:30 p.m. for the awarding of prizes. It really made a difference and everyone was impressed by how quickly the night went. Leeds Transit was our sponsor, serving up a great prize table, and the scramble format took the pressure off, allowing for those inevitable early season jitters. Already in mid-season form, the team of Scott Devonshire, Paul Cadeau, Warren Garton, and Peter Cahill posted the low front nine score, while Jeff Hinton led his squad to victory on the back side. The Roosteraunt closest-to-the-pin prizes went the George Hewitt and Tom Henderson for their darts on holes 3 and 14, while Ben Mulrooney and
Steven Blair took home the Burns Jewellers bling, sticking their approach shots tight on holes 5 and 12. Jimi Leach and Steve Oostrom (in between phone calls) launched the Town and Country Chrysler longest drives on holes 9 and 17. Garth “Hey Buddy” Hannah started the year off right by winning the 50/50 draw, and Bob Mulrooney took home the bottle of Rockie’s Rifle Range Reserve. Thanks to everyone who came out to play and tell your friends about the better, faster, more fun Thursday Night Men’s Twilight. See you next week.

UCDSB fields to remain closed until May 15 News - Sports fields at schools throughout the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) will remain closed for after-school sporting events until May 15, 2014 “to maintain their quality and avoid the need for maintenance closures later in sports season,” Jeremy Hobbs, chief information and facilities officer, said. The decision to preserve sports fields will mean a short delay in their use after school hours by public and school sports teams. Recess activities at schools will not be affected. The decision to delay after school use of school sports fields is due to the wet and unusually cool spring weather. Use of the fields too early can
result in damage which will affect their quality throughout the remainder of the spring, summer and fall. “We want to give our sports fields adequate time to dry and grow so that they will be in the best possible shape for play,” said Hobbs. “In the past, community groups have expressed concern about the condition of fields in the peak of the season and though the fields may now appear dry, we need to give the grass some time to take root to ensure safe, playable conditions later this summer. The facilities department will continue to monitor each situation, however we have every confidence that the majority of our sports fields will be available for after school use by May 15.”

New program gets some added ‘pep’ from Town & Country Chrysler Brad Kyle for the use of a van and he was only too happy to help. “I believe you have to give back to your community every day, every week and every month of the year,” he noted. “Seniors are a very important part of our community. They are the founders and builders of the community. Everyone needs a break and it’s an important program, so I thought ‘why not?’” Kyle said PEP will have the use of the van for as long as they need it, as he believes seniors need to be supported. “My mother is 85-years-old and my wife’s parents are in their late 80s and as people get older, there is less support and help. There’s a tendency by culture to forget about older folks. I never forget about them and it makes me feel good to be able to give,” he remarked.

Community – Local seniors can now feel more involved in their community thanks to Town & Country Chrysler’s donation of a van to the Perth Enrichment Program (PEP) for Older Adults. The donation was recognized May 7 at Town & Country Chrysler in Smiths Falls with PEP representatives and local seniors in attendance. PEP, which recently opened its location in Perth in the Elliot Street Clinic on May 1, received the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT several weeks ago and is already seeing the benefits. “It allows us to take older adults from both Smiths Falls and Perth, the rural areas, to our day program in Perth,” explained program co-ordinator Katherine Finner. The day program, established in April, was created for older adults who are living independently and provides them with a social setting to be with peers and respite for their caregivers. A number of activities are offered, including day trips, a gardening program, exercise and fall prevention training, nutritional assessment program, as well as fitness and healthy living. “We are focused on four pillars: cognitive, physical, social and nutritional,” said PEP’s Theresa Gorman. “…We also utilize a lot of word and language exercises and critical thinking.” The program, serving Smiths Falls, Perth and Lanark areas, currently runs two full days, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and are in the middle of introducing a Friday men’s program: Friday Fellows, set to launch May 23. To offer these activities, PEP needed a way to shuttle older adults to and from their homes. They approached Town & Country Chrysler owner

Car owner discusses two very different Plymouths 20 years apart Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Keith Simpson of Moncton, New Brunswick, writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Bill. My first car was a 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe 4-door sedan with only 34,000 miles on it when I acquired it in 1968. It had apparently been won in a CNR raffle and kept by its original owner until a friend of mine bought it in 1967 with only 29,000 miles. He was leaving for university on the west coast and let me have it for only $210. I returned to school a few months later and sold it for $265.â&#x20AC;? These cars were big and boxy but very comfortable, and reflected the thinking of Chrysler president K. T. Keller, who insisted a car should have enough head room for a man to wear a hat while driving. A DeSoto of similar vintage was road tested by a car magazine of that day. It was â&#x20AC;&#x153;as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar, and just about as fast.â&#x20AC;? Keithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Plymouth had a six cylinder engine with 218 cubes and 95 horsepower. In the fall of 1971, Keith purchased his 1969 Plymouth Road Runner for $2,200. A nurse had bought it new. The Road Runner was built for only three years (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;68 to â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70) and, as the name implies, was adorned with cartoon-bird decals and a horn that went â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beep! Beep!â&#x20AC;? It came as a plain no-frills hardtop or coupe but with lots of muscle under the hood. Standard was a 383 cubic inch V8 boasting 335 horsepower.
And if that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough get-up-andgo, you could order the optional 426 cubic inch V8 with 425 horsepower, more than four times the power Keith had in his â&#x20AC;&#x2122;49 sedan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sold my VW to a friend,â&#x20AC;? recalls Keith, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and bought the Road Runner because I wanted it and also for a trip to Regina for a brief engagement with the RCMP. The following year, I became a distribution clerk at Chryslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atlantic Zone office, where I just happened to find an original 1969 Belvedere/ Satellite/Road Runner brochure. I was with Chrysler again in Windsor when they acquired AMC Jeep from Renault. In total, I was involved with Jeep for ten years and left Windsor to join Jaguar Canada in Toronto for the final 16 years of my corporate career.â&#x20AC;? Keithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2122;49 Plymouth and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;69 Road Keith Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low-mileage 1949 Plymouth sedan. Runner are long gone but the memories live onâ&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always looking for more stories. Email billsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2.

LYME DISEASE AWARENESS: Know the Bug, Know the bite, Know what to do Look For Ticks:
Check Your Ticks: *NOT ALL TICKS CARRY THE LYME DISEASE BACTERIA
` When hiking or walking in natural
areas. ` Ticks are more visible on light colours and harder to attach on clothing. ` Insect repellants with DEET also provide protection. Follow directions for use. ` After being outdoors, c heck for ticks and have someone else check your back. A quick shower may help too.
Know The Symptoms:
size exaggerated for illustration
Unfed Tick
Fed (engorged) Tick
` If the tick on your body looks like the unfed tick, it
means it was probably attached for less than 24 hours. This is not enough time for the bacteria to transfer. ` If the tick on your body looks like the fed (engorged) tick, it probably has been attached longer and may have transferred the bacteria. Consult your doctor.
` A bulls-eye rash may be present around the bite.
` Other symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue or muscle/ joint pain. These may disappear, but if left untreated, Lyme disease can progress. ` Consult your doctor if you are developing symptoms.

The US bulletin Matthew mentioned also applies to Canadian vehicles. When he forwarded his vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serial number to me, a contact at an area Honda dealer confirmed that his Civic falls within the VIN (vehicle ID number) range specified in this bulletin which recommends engine piston and ring replacement to resolve excessive oil consumption. The key words in this document can also be found in warranty guides and ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; manuals for just about any carmakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s product; excessive oil consumption. Every auto manufacturer has its own notion of what an acceptable level of oil consumption is. It is this spec that determines whether or not any action is taken to rectify a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern. While there
is some slight variance among different makes, a consumption rate of around 1 L/1,800 km is usually considered â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. If you think that with advancements in materials and assembly processes should almost eliminate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oil-burnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from our roads, a move by most carmakers to lighter and thinner engine oil seems to be threatening that perceived trend. Matthewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Honda runs on 0W20 (very light) oil and Honda has plans to introduce a lighter 0W16 weight in the near future. Auto makers (not just Honda) are making this move to improve fuel mileage ratings as thinner oils produce less resistance on internal moving engine parts thereby lowering their fuel needs ever so slightly. As Matthew has calculated his Civicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consumption rate to be around 3,000 km/L, it is unlikely Honda would normally approve any repairs. But his vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rate would run the engine oil reservoir dry between 6,000 km service intervals if the oil wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t checked and topped up. Combine this with the fact that most properly designed and built engines donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consume any appreciable amount of oil, then
Yours in service, Brian Turner

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to understand Matthewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustration. I would recommend he take the matter up with his dealershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner before forwarding a letter to Honda Canada. The dealer may be able to convince Honda to authorize the bulletinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repair. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely Honda or the dealership would want to end up in arbitration or court over this as the bulletin itself is an admission that there is a problem with these engines. For the rest of us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lesson never to take a crucial item such as proper engine oil level for granted.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello, I just read a recent article of yours; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Burning oil not an issue to take lightlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and find myself in a situation where my 2012 Honda Civic Si has been â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;usingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; oil since it was brand new (bought new November 2011). I first noticed it when I got back from a highway trip and checked the oil for the first time at 4,500 km. I understand I should have checked it earlier, but it was a brand new car. The oil was at the bottom dipstick mark. I purchased some 0W20 weight synthetic oil and topped it off (1 litre) hoping this was not going to be a recurring issue. I was wrong. At 6,400 km, my Honda dealer did the first oil change and I, for some reason, thought this would help. By the time it hit 11,700 km it had lost another litre. It was time for a schedule B maintenance and at this time I mentioned my concerns, they suggested an oil consumption test and to bring it in every 1,500 km for a top off and recording. At 13,346 km Honda added 1/2 L, at 14,810 km it was down 1 L. I brought it in again at 16,447 and they added 0.65 L. The next time I brought it in was at 19,400 km and it was down 1 L. Basically it is using about 1/2 a litre every 1,500 km, and as your article stated I am not satisfied with this. I will follow Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules and wait to complete the consumption test. I just want my Honda to be a Honda, reliable and not using oil. The interesting thing is I found a Honda America Service Bulletin 12069 applying to 2012 Honda Civic Si with specific VIN numbers for excessive engine oil consumption. This service bulletin outlines the procedure for replacing all the engine pistons and piston rings for a symptom of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The engine oil level is low on the dipstick, and the low oil pressure

Paying tribute to all those talented, supportive musical moms out there Lifestyle – I’m writing this on Mother’s Day, the day originally created in 1908 when Anna Jarvis held a memorial in Grafton, West Virginia, to honour her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, who had been a peace activist and helped wounded soldiers from both sides of the Civil War. Upon her mother’s death in 1905, Anna first worked on a campaign to have all mothers and motherhood celebrated. She held her first in 1908 and, thanks to her efforts, in 1910 her home West Virginia state officially recognized Mother’s Day. A few more states joined in and in 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May a national holiday. As I think back to my now deceased grandmothers and mother in law, my still going strong own mother Margaret, my wife Susan, all my friends who are mothers, I know this should not be just a day, but rather an ongoing celebration for all they’ve done and continue to do for the rest of us. Due to this honouring time, I can’t help but reflect on some memorable “Musical Mom Moments” I’ve witnessed and remembered recently. The most recent was at the wonderful Grassroots Festival, held in the Montgomery Legion on Kent Street in Ottawa last month, where I watched several mom’s pride radiate, smiles beaming forth on their faces as their children performed in a choir called Sparrows, led by musician Chris White. These young kids are home schooled and gain their musical train-
ing via the Ottawa Folklore Centre (OFC) where Chris meets and leads them in song. I don’t know who was having more fun – Chris or the kids. As they worked through their short set it was terrific seeing these youngsters start off so shy, like ‘deer in the headlights’ on stage before a full house and, as each song progressed, their confidence aided by the supportive crowd, they’d each step up and begin to put their all into it, each in their own time. Oh, how those moms glowed, even more than the kids, I’m sure. The next “mom thing” I witnessed actually was on the same evening where The Monroe Sisters performed next. This five-piece bluegrass group features Pat Moore, a country singing legend in the Ottawa Valley, playing guitar and voice; her daughter Kate Greenland, who’s grown up in a bluegrass family, and been taught mandolin by her bluegrass musician father, Garry. Youthful Kate provides most of the lead vocals as well as most of the banter between tunes. Sherry Philp plays banjo and provides mostly harmony, showing why she’s won Best Singer five years running and Best Banjo in 2012. Sherry also plays in Concession 23. Fiddler Elizabeth Foster Weatherall hails from the East Coast, teaches fiddle at the OFC and provides some vocals while her double bass playing husband Brent Fraser Weatherall slips in some vocals as well. As I sat in the front row enjoying the show, I could catch the various emotions cross the face of “Mother
Pat” as she backed Kate. Pride shone via gushing smiles, sometimes silently mouthing the words Kate sang, as if in support. Pat’s eyes screamed encouragement, as if ‘willing’ Kate along, all the while skillfully holding up her own guitar and vocal parts. Pat’s teaching and mother loving support obviously have stuck because she has good reason to be proud as Kate further develops her chops. Pat, you’ve got good reason to be one proud mom. While watching the elder generation encourage a younger generation along, I was reminded of watching the group Prescott in 2009 at one of Jenny Whiteley’s Elphinfest – Roots Festivals. Onstage were Kelly and Kaylen Prescott, adult children of Tracey Brown and Randall Prescott – longtime country music veterans who had a long running TV show and toured North America and Europe, The Family Brown. Mom Tracey and dad Randall were also onstage providing backup for their kids that day. Tracey had grown up behind a microphone, first appearing at 10 years of age with Family Brown. I remember watching as mom Tracey provided subtle prodding to a nervous and
slightly shy daughter Kelly, encouraging when to step up and provide intro-patter to their songs from a new CD they’d just recorded. As Kaylen and Kelly’s confidence noticeably grew throughout the show, it was sweet watching Tracey beam with pride, smiling from ear to ear. I’m sure Randall was doing the same but he was pretty busy playing harp and some mandolin. The group Prescott has since evolved into The Claytones, with Kelly, her husband Adam Puddington on double bass and vox, Anders Drerup on guitar, vox and recently adding guitar and mandolin player, Pat McLaughlin. Kaylen now spends much of his time writing, filming and producing music and music videos for Rip Roar Music. Just last year, my far better half and I also felt that proud parent feeling as we watched our son, Lucas, provide backup on guitars for singer Tracy Noonan. Lucas has always been a closet guitarist so we rarely heard him and since he’s moved out on his own, like mother Pat and mother Tracey, we, too, beamed with pride to hear the skills he’d developed. What a wonderful feeling. Upcoming events Look out Fredheads! The Fred Eaglesmith Travelling Steam Show is set for Thursday, June 5 at the Carleton Place Town Hall, in aide of the Lanark Animal Welfare Society. Yes, it’s true! Anyone who loves Fred Eaglesmith and his music (usually become known as Fredheads) will be
able to attest to the drawing force of his songs. A songwriter’s songwriter – his always gritty vocals backed by his stellar musicians offer up song after self-written song that never cease to captivate audiences. Last year, this major road dog and Juno Award winner played more than 270 shows throughout North America. Eaglesmith’s songwriting has earned him multiple International awards and his songs have been covered by some of the biggest names in Nashville, including Toby Keith, Alan Jackson and Miranda Lambert. His music has been featured in films and television scores including those of True Blood and Grimm. Fred and his band have also performed as the musical guest on Late Show With David Letterman. This past year has also seen the launch of a highly successful musical theatre production, Dear Johnny Deere inspired by and based on Fred’s songs that played the last couple of years at the Blyth Theatre, the Charlottetown Theatre and the Lighthouse Theatre in Port Dover. They also plan to have a pie auction during the concert to support Operation Smile during the June 5 event. Tickets for the concert are available at Read’s Book Shop on Bridge Street in Carleton Place and can also be purchased online at Fred’s website: www.fredeaglesmith.com.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.
This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability
of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.
Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.
If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at
megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694
Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Latest frat film hits new low for boredom MOVIE: Neighbors STARRING: Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zach Efron and Dave Franco DIRECTOR: Nicholas Stoller RATING: 18A Arts – When a movie like Neighbors is this bad you want someone to blame. You want to walk up to Seth Rogen and demand your money back, or kick him in the shin. This one’s so bad he might even let you. Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly (Rose Byrne) have bought their first house. They’ve just had their first child, and like all new parents they’re doing their best to figure it all out. Life isn’t easy, but it’s good until the house next door is sold to a fraternity. The fraternity is led by Teddy (Zach Efron) and his vice president Pete (Dave Franco). They aren’t just a party house they’re the party house. Teddy’s whole goal is to throw a party so extraordinary he goes down in history as a party legend. This is great news if you’re attending college with Teddy. This is lousy news if you are living next door to Teddy with a newborn. The relationship between the two neighbours quickly deteriorates with Mac and Kelly doing everything they can to get rid of the fraternity, and Teddy and Pete retaliating in kind. Eventually things get out of hand, and you’re left wondering how to find Seth Rogen, and just how hard to kick him. I’m willing to bet that on paper Neighbors was hilarious. I’m willing to bet that while they were filming it they thought it hilarious. I’ll bet it wasn’t until they saw the finished product that they realized they had a
Mom’s Day brunch Community - The Herb Garden on Old Almonte Road was a great place to meander the grounds May 11 during a Mother’s Day brunch. Helen Charron (centre) enjoys a walk on the grounds at the Herb Garden with daughters Victoria Campbell (left) and Deb Limlaw, all of Renfrew.

steaming pile of awful, but by then it was too late. Even when you think all the pieces are there, good comedy can still elude you. Sometimes it doesn’t work, and Neighbors doesn’t work. I could easily point out that Zach Efron and Dave Franco are so over the top they skip being funny and go right to being ludicrous with a hint of sadness. I could point out that Seth Rogen phoned in his performance, and the film would have been better served by a cardboard cutout version of him. Then there’s Rose Byrne. I have no idea what she was doing. All of these things are true, but the worse crime Neighbors makes is that it’s boring. A film can do a lot of things, but it should never bore you. This film was so tired and predictable I knew the gags and the lines before they happened. This film doesn’t put a new twist on the college frat film, it buries it so no one will ever want to make another one. I will give Seth Rogen credit for trying to warn us. I saw him in an interview talking about how awkward it would be to lie to his fans, and pump a film he didn’t think was funny. He went on to say how ‘grateful’ he was he didn’t have to do that for Neighbors, but you knew what he really meant. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.
Fifty voices at Full Circle Theatre this weekend Arts – Perth’s Full Circle Theatre hosts its first choral event on Saturday, May 17, as the combined voices of the Tay Valley Community Choir and the Rosedale Singers present Songs From The War Years. The two community-based choral groups bring nearly 50 voices together and the result, in the warm and intimate atmosphere of the Full Circle Theatre (FCT), should be memorable. Under the direction of Grace Armstrong, the choirs will take listeners on a tour of the wellknown, as well as some of the lesser known songs of the 40s and earlier, from A Nightin-
gale Sang (In Berkeley Square) to Lilli Marlene and many more. Guest conductor Janice Jacklin will also pick up the baton on a few of the numbers, with accompanists Richard Bird and Pamela Newton providing the instrumental background. Master of ceremonies, Bill Widenmaier, will keep things flowing smoothly, as the audience are given an opportunity, not only to listen, but to join in on some of the numbers. In view of this week’s Day of Honour commemorating the Afghan War and the 100th anniversary this summer of the beginning of the First World War, it
will be an especially poignant evening, but one filled with memories and great music. The concert begins at 7 p.m. at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre (26 Craig Street) by Last Duel Park. Admission is by donation at the door. FCT has hosted musical events before, ranging from single folk artists to full-on musicals, but this first choral event in the ground-level, barrierfree theatre will be a memorable joining of the warm atmosphere of the space and the full sound of 50 voices raised together. Come and join us! Submitted by the Full Circle Theatre.

CONSIDERING SELLING YOUR HOME? If you’re selling a home there’s a lot to be done and a lot to know. For example, you want to present your home in its best light so that you can realize its full value. But do you really have to renovate the kitchen—or will simply painting it do? What is your house really worth? Do you have to include all your fixtures in the deal? Should you accept a low bid—or wait for a better offer? There are countless questions when it comes to selling a house, and your REALTOR® can help you with the answers. They do the homework so that you can achieve the best possible outcome.

rhymes and songs). • Talk to your child! The more parents talk to their children, the more their children learn about language. Children learn more easily when the talk is directed to them (rather than hearing two adults talk to each other). Get face to face when you are talking to your child! Remember that talking can happen almost anywhere, anytime (e.g., in the car, at the store, in the bath, while getting ready for bed). Children learn best when they are interested, engaged and involved. Talk about what your child enjoys or finds interesting. Listen with genuine interest. Comment, encourage, expand, clarify and explain. If you are concerned about your child’s speech and language development, call the Language Express Preschool Speech System at 1-888-503-8885/613283-2742. A speech-language assessment can identify your child’s strengths and needs, and can help you prepare your child for success in communicating, reading and writing.

Dogs Astro Ask him to “follow that scent” and this playful Beagle mix will gladly oblige, nose close to the ground and tail high in the air. With his golden brown head and trim blacksplashed, white body, 1.5-yearold Astro is a study in contrasts: as sweet natured and gentle as he is vocal and energetic. He walks well on leash and although he loves to run, he also has good off-leash recall. Happy and outgoing, this little cutie is quite the character and quite the cuddler, who eagerly wears his big heart on his small doggy sleeve. He may not know any of his basic commands just yet, but he
Lifestyle – Children are developing speech and language skills from birth. Your child should: • Say three to five words by her first birthday; • Use 100 to 150 words and combine two or more words (e.g. “Mommy up”) by age two; • Use four to seven words in a sentence (e.g. “I want my red ball.”) by age three; • Use adult-type grammar and keep a conversation going on the same topic for three turns by age four. What can you do to help your child: • Play with your child! Preschool children are active learners and learn many things during play. They can act out new roles, make up stories, negotiate game rules, and practice new ways of saying things. • Read with your child every day! Reading together should be fun. Reading can help your children learn many important things (facts about the world, information about what people do and why they do it, new words and sentence forms, how to construct stories,

Improved technology helps enhance opportunities for teachers, students News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held May 6 at the board office in Kemptville. The board has been using various communications technology supports to enhance experiences for both students and administrators. These tools help to not only bridge the geographical gap for educator and administrator collaborative sharing, but also enrich educational experiences for students by making technological upgrades and support more easily managed. Superintendent of school effectiveness, Tom Jordan, introduced a team from the information and communications technology (ICT) department including James Proulx, ICT manager, Peter Spears, ICT assistant manager, David Kozera, supervisor of ICT systems, and Ken Konink, supervisor of ICT support. The two programs the team currently employs are Instaconnect and Microsoft Lync. The team demonstrated these software programs during the presentation, with Spears and Konink appearing virtually on screen from a different location in the building.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instaconnect allows ICT support services to assist via remote locations,â&#x20AC;? explained Kozera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tool facilitates a simple connection between two computers, and allows the technical support to take control of the remote computer.â&#x20AC;? The program is extremely helpful for troubleshooting and solving computer issues from remote locations, and has helped to centralize technical support services. Technicians are able to address issues remotely using these tools, which has resulted in shorter service and response times, and reduce cost to the board. Lync, a conferencing and collaboration software tool, was used to allow for the virtual portion of the presentation. The program is used on a regular basis to facilitate virtual meetings in a seamless platform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our department (ICT), we have weekly meetings with all 16 staff virtually,â&#x20AC;? clarified Proulx. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program is like a phone system built into a computer, with video capabilities. At any point throughout the meeting, you can start recording, which is great when there are members of the team who cannot be present.â&#x20AC;? Lync can help to bring togeth-
er groups more frequently, and save costs for the board. Presentation slides can be imported and displayed for the virtual meeting attendees. The department is also currently completing wide area network upgrades for the six remaining schools, who will receive them by the end of the school year. In addition, 11 elementary schools have received upgrades to school laptops, which now run on the new Windows 8.1 operating system, and have had Office 2013 installed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has positive benefits for login times and better roaming profiles, giving students the tools they need,â&#x20AC;? explained Kozera. Director of education, Bill Gartland, commented that the technology has already proven to be very useful in bringing groups from the various regions of the board together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be increasingly easier to use this technology, and have more participants for various events and presentations. The technology is very innovative, and a great asset to the board,â&#x20AC;? he said.
ous mission trip experiences to international destinations. This year, 15 staff and students from the Cornwall area Catholic secondary schools (St. Matthew CSS, Holy Trinity CSS, and St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CSS) travelled to the Dominican Republic to carry out missionary work, and to gain a greater understanding of life in a developing nation, as well as to reach out in service to others. Principal of religious and family life education, Jim Roberts, introduced the group of eleven students and four staff members who participated in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
trip, which was based at the NPH (Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos) Orphanage of Casa Santa Ana. The orphanage is home to over 250 orphaned, abandoned and/ or at-risk children, ranging in age from newborns to young adults. Each participant gave their own account of their enriching experiences and discussed how the journey was an excellent opportunity to reach out and help those in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We developed such a deep connection with the NPH family,â&#x20AC;? explained Deanna Fraser, a student from Holy Trinity CSS.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;These children showed us that you must always have hope. Everything is, and will continue to be okay, because God has a plan.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the most memorable moments for me was the time spent at the baby house. The children would sit down, brush our hair, and play with our hair,â&#x20AC;? noted Emily Stang, a student from St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CSS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The caretakers at the orphanage taught the children to share and appreciate each other.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This year during the parent symposium held during Catholic Education Week on Saturday, May 3 at St. James Catholic School in Smiths Falls, the theme was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Serving in the love of Christâ&#x20AC;?. Parents, teachers and community partners gathered to listen to Dr. Tracy Vallancourt, research chair in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental health and violence prevention at the University of Ottawa. After the keynote participants were invited to attend two breakout sessions given by our community partners to wrap up the morning. This was a joint effort between four area schools: St. James, St. Luke, St. Francis and St. Joseph Toledo.

REGIONAL NEWS CDSBEO From page 49
Because of NPH they were happy, and they were capable of loving and caring for complete strangers.” Each of the participants had adopted a child for a year, prior to travelling to the orphanage. Fr. Jacques Labelle, who attended the trip as a chaperone, reflected on his experience: “I ate lunch each day with 18 boys, one of whom was my adopted child. Every day there was something new they wanted to show, something new they wanted to try. The experience allowed me to grow personally as a priest; it was an amazing opportunity to grow with them, and to learn with them.” Gordie Van Putten, chaplaincy leader at Holy Trinity CSS and the trip’s lead organizer, and Angela Pilon, an education assistant at Holy Trinity, thanked the board for their ongoing support of mission experiences, and presented to the board a memento from the trip as a token of their appreciation. Technology enriches learning experiences for exceptional students Over the past two years, iPads have been introduced in CDSBEO classrooms to students with specialized needs. The intuitive nature of the iPad, as well as the vast array of available apps, have resulted in an explosion of learning success stories. Students who
were once reluctant or unable to engage in traditional learning activities have enthusiastically reengaged using the iPad. Superintendent of school effectiveness, Donaleen Hawes, introduced to the board, Matt Hubbard, co-ordinator of assistive technology and Jameson Lee, assistive technology teacher, who provided a demonstration of some of the special tools and apps currently being utilized by students in the specialized special education program classes. “The educational landscape is changing rapidly, and as educators we recognize that our students are unique, and that their learning needs are also unique,” explained Lee. “To allow our exceptional students to reach their potential, it is important to make them excited about learning, to help them be more engaged. We have been fortunate to have the use of the iPad in our classrooms.” The team shared video clips and examples of student success, including students from our board’s Partners program and Turning Points program, which have seen have seen extraordinary benefits from incorporating the iPad technology. For example, one student, who struggled with organizing ideas, and who required structured support, was able to use the InstaCollage app to help complete an assignment. The iPad allowed the learner to use the camera to take photos, use the app to organize the pho-
tos into a collage/storyboard, and finally, use the text to speech capability of the iPad to label each image; something which under traditional methods, would be extremely difficult for this learner. “In our Turning Points program, our goal was to reinforce positive peer interaction,” explained Hubbard. “The students were tasked with storyboarding, and creating an iMovie which outlined the story of their relationship and personalities. This was done very successfully.” The thousands of apps available to students allows educators to service different needs, and allows students to learn in a way which helps them to feel successful. As they become more engaged and accomplish new tasks, their joy for learning improves, as does their communication and critical thinking skills. Interim financial report Manager of finance, Ashley Hutchinson, provided the second interim financial report covering the period from Sept. 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 with comparative figures for September 2012 to March 2013. Hutchinson shared a summary of the financial results and provided details of the accumulated surplus. The report also highlighted the non-financial indicators including summary of enrolment and summary of staffing. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

I panicked...
My hair was thinning! For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource.
C
hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”
Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,
which made me realize that it was special.”
Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.
DID YOU KNOW? Grey hairs can begin to appear due to a lack of copper in your diet. Hair Volume™ tablets contain copper, which affects melanin production to help avoid grey hairs.
YOUR HAIR TABLET Hair Volume™ nourishes the hair roots with nutrients like biotin, zinc, b-vitamins and horsetail, all important for healthy hair. Hair Volume also contains procynidin B2 found in apples, which has shown to benefit hair follicle activity. Available at participating pharmacies and health food stores.

Rideau Valley Conservation Authority offers new funding available to farmers ers can receive funding to support up to 90 per cent of project costs and receive grants of up to $7,500. The RVRCWP, a grant and technical assistance program, has been operating since 2002 and has provided nearly $900,000 in funding to more than 600 projects across the Rideau Valley Water-
shed. Its success can be credited to the individual landowners undertaking these great projects, and to the many generous sponsors that have supported the program over the years. New funding categories being introduced in 2014 include tile drainage control structures, cover crops, manure storage/treatment and
land retirement performance incentives. These categories will supplement existing projects, including livestock fencing along waterways, clean water diversion, nutrient management plans, surface/ wastewater treatment and disposal, well decommissioning/upgrades/replacement and many more.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Volunteers at the Carleton Place Canoe Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual duck derby May 3 had to put in a lot of effort to fight the current. It promised to be the fastest race yet due to the large volume of water pouring through town after a long, snowy winter. Above, Duke and little brother Devlin Payne are all smiles as they check out the treat table at the Carleton Place Canoe Club fundraiser.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The next meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society is at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95 at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, May 20. This month we have a unique speaker and topic. We have the pleasure of a welcoming Miki Mitchell. Miki first studied Sogetsu School Ikebana in 1976 in Japan. She now teaches this Japanese art of flower arrangement in various locations in Ottawa. There is plenty of information on the Internet including the following: http:// www.ikebanahq.org/whatis.php. The designs are extremely exquisite so you will definitely want to come out to hear Miki. Our April photo contest winners were: Christy Melvin and Anneke Phillips tied for first and Jane Turpin, second. The theme for May is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Developmentâ&#x20AC;? and June is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Introduction to Springâ&#x20AC;?. We are going to have another fun flower show this month. You are invited to bring in anything for this show but the main focus is on spring bulbs.

Check over the categories on pages 10 and 11 and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to think about creating a design under Division ll.
