RELAY FOR LIFE

Community - The 45th annual Citizen of the Year banquet hosted by the Kinsmen Club was held on Monday, May 26, at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. The award recognizes a citizen who has made a contribution to the town through volunteer efforts which have a positive effect on fellow citizens and the community. The evening started with a social hour followed by dinner and a presentation by guest speaker Eleanor Glenn, author of The Business Barons. The evening wrapped up with Mayor Dennis Staples declaring Gib Hodge as the 2013 Citizen of the Year. Here, the long-time Civitan member receives a standing ovation following the announcement.

Canal closes due to high water levels News - This spring, Parks Canada has continuously faced high water levels along the length of the Rideau Canal due to excessive run-off caused by heavy rains and a late snow melt. The Rideau Canal’s 182nd navigation season began on Friday, May 16 and many boaters have already begun enjoying the world famous waterway. However, to ensure public safety until high waters have subsided to safe levels, the following lock stations will be closed to navigation, effective as of 4 p.m. on Monday, May 26: Hogs Back, Black Rapids, Long Island, Burritts Rapids, Lower Nicholsons,

Upper Nicholsons, Clowes, Merrickville, Kilmarnock, Edmonds, Old Slys, Smiths Falls Combined and Smiths Falls Detached. Parks Canada will advise the public as soon as water levels will allow for safe navigation; and when these locks will be operational again. The following lockstations of the Rideau Canal remain open to navigation during normal operating hours: Ottawa Locks, Hartwells, Poonamalie, Beveridges, Narrows, Newboro, Chaffeys, Davis, Jones Falls, Upper Brewers, Lower Brewers and Kingston Mills. A reminder that high water flows around water control

structures such as dams and spillways can be hazardous and should be avoided at all times. Parks Canada has a proven track record in managing water. This year, water along the Rideau Canal is being aggressively controlled and monitored in order to move tremendous amounts of water through the system to mitigate effects from the colossal amount of water travelling at this time. Reservoir lakes are being filled as necessary, dam operations are happening daily, and over the course of the next few weeks, levels will begin to stabilize. Submitted by Parks Canada.

News – They are angry and they’re frustrated. They are the residents of Montague Township who receive their water from Smiths Falls. They’ve just been informed that their water and sewage rates have jumped 50 per cent. “Why did you wait till now to hike the bills so high that we’re going to have to take baths in rainwater,” said one angry resident at a town hall meeting called by Montague staff at Montague Centennial Hall on Tuesday, May 20. There were more than 30 residents in attendance. Among them were Bill Dobson, the Reeve of Montague, and former Reeve Gary Doyle under whose watch one of the original agreements with Smiths Falls was drawn. “The purpose of this meeting is to try and clarify a few things that begat the increase we’ve put on water and wastewater rates,” Glenn Barnes, Montague CAO said by way of introduction, before handing over the presentation to Shawn Mason, township treasurer. As Mason explained Montague residents are charged a 75 per cent premium on the water they receive from Smiths Falls. “We are fighting on behalf of residents to get that lowered, we think it would be fairer at 25 per cent,” said Dobson. In the meantime, under that arrangement which is believed to date back to 1996, Smiths Falls bills the Township of Montague for water usage. The township in turn collects a water rate from residents but the discrepancy between the amount billed and amount collected has led Montague to dip into its reserves to pay the bill. “So when the billing went to meters, the thinking was that the revenue would increase,” said Mason at the meeting. Although revenue did increase, there was still a more than $51,000 gap that the Township of Montague covered in 2013.

“My bill went from $160 before the meters were installed to $220 after the meters were installed to $330 with this increase,” said Nancy Lumsden, Montague resident. There are several issues involved. It is expected that all municipalities will be required to comply with the new Sustainable Water and Waste Water Improvement and Maintenance Act that’s coming down the pipeline. That act states that municipalities must be able to demonstrate that they have achieved or are close to achieving full cost recovery of their water systems. Montague’s billing now includes a fee that will allow the township to build up a reserve of about $14,000 annually so that by 2068 the township can be in a position to replace its entire system at a cost of $879,000 the current estimate for replacement. “The new water act states that you have to build reserves in the event of a catastrophic failure,” explained Mason. In addition Smiths Falls applied the same 13 per cent increase it adopted in town to the residents of Montague over and above the 75 per cent premium. Right now both Smiths Falls and Montague build the cost of infrastructure replacement into their fees, both build in the costs of maintenance, water testing and administration into their fees. There is, according to Barnes, a duplication of fees and services that Montague residents end up paying. At the same time both municipalities are bylawrequired to do their own water testing which in turn incurs maintenance and administrative expenses. “If the whole water system was just between Smiths Falls and our residents without going through Montague at all, there would be less duplication,” said Dobson. Also at issue is the fact that Montague has not been raising its water fees on a regular basis. See WATER page SF2

that insurance rates were not lowered, was also erroneous, according to MacDonald, because “insurance rates are set for a period of time. The insurance rates were scheduled to drop soon.” As for the NDP’s decision not to support the budget, “it quite surprised me that she turned it down.” Local issues One of the hottest issues in Lanark County – as it was in 2011 – is that of health care, in particular, Carleton Place’s request for a new hospital to replace its aging facility. In fact, MacDonald made the bold statement that he has done more than incumbent Tory MPP Randy Hillier to make the new hospital a reality. “What has he actually done on this portfolio?” asked MacDonald of Hillier. “I took it upon myself. I have worked on it. I have done as much for the project… as probably anybody else.” When Premier Kathleen Wynne toured the area this past summer, “we hosted a gala event at the Civitan Club in Perth,” at which the chair of the Carleton Place hospital board, Lois-Anne Brebner, met with Wynne. “I arranged for Kathleen Wynne to meet with that group,” he said.

newal of infrastructure,” the money for electricity infrastructure should actually be coming out of “general coffers,” like other infrastructure spending on, say, highways. But he has seen the bite it takes out of electricity bills, like his own, where the delivery charge takes up as much as two-thirds of his bill. “It is creating hardship for home owners,” said MacDonald. He pointed to the Ice Storm of 1998 as an example of when governments skimped on improving their infrastructure. “It was ready to collapse and the Ice Storm made it collapse,” said MacDonald. “This is the only government that has taken the bull by the horns,” to invest in electricity infrastructure.” Like Hillier and NDP candidate David Parkhill, this is MacDonald’s second run for Queen’s Park in this area, but his reasons for running have not changed. “I am not doing this for myself,” he said, emphatically. “I am doing this for my children and grandchildren.” One thing he wants to change if elected to Queen’s Park is to change people’s perceptions of the urban-rural divide. “We have to dissolve this myth that there is a wedge between rural and urban people,” said MacDonald. “That bothers me. We need each other.” This is the third in our ongoing series of candidate profiles for the riding of Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. The provincial election will be held on Thursday, June 12.

News – The Liberal candidate in Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, Bill MacDonald, has called the McGuinty government’s decision to move the controversial Oakville gas plant to Napanee was a good decision. “We are the beneficiaries of it,” said MacDonald during a telephone interview on Friday, May 23. “It is a win-win situation,” with about 600 construction jobs being created for a two-year period. While the opposition Progressive Conservatives and New Democratic Party have been making political hay with the controversial decision to cancel the Oakville power plant in the dying days of the 2011 provincial election campaign, MacDonald said he is not hearing about the scandal during his canvassing. “It is not coming up at the door,” he said. In fact, by his count, out of 500 doors knocked on, at most, two voters wanted to know about the scandal. “It has not been an issue.” He also pointed out that “all three parties were going to move that gas plant, and there would have been a cost.” As for the allegation that the move was made to save Liberal seats, MacDonald points to the numbers – the winning Liberal candidate in Oakville won by 10 percentage points over the P.C. rival, while Finance Minister Charles Sousa won in nearby Mississauga South by more than 5,000 votes. Going back nearly a decade, he observed that the Oakville plant got the green light in 2004, but that it only got around to seeking building permits from the town in 2010. In the intervening six years, subdivisions had sprung up around the proposed site. “The environment had changed so much,” said MacDonald. “The Ontario Municipal Board ruled in favour of the gas plant,” saying, in essence, “we have no grounds on which to not give the permit.” Going by the letter of the law, indeed, the land was zoned properly – but that is where the government stepped in. “There was a lot more to it,” said MacDonald. “They decided to bite the bullet.” Job cuts For MacDonald, the bigger issue across the province comes from Official Opposition leader Tim Hudak’s pledge to cut 100,000 jobs from the bureaucracy. He claimed that the idea is not gaining the traction the Tories had hoped it would since “everybody realizes what it encompasses. It all has to do with the fear of the loss of jobs. There is a fear amongst teachers, and nurses, and frontline bureaucrats…You are taking all of those high-paying jobs out of the economy.” A friend of his, who owns a golf club in the area, expressed his own concerns about the plan. Pointing out at his links, he told MacDonald that if people lose their jobs, “there will be less people golfing.” MacDonald also took issue with the NDP’s decision not to support the May 1 budget. Two of her charges in particular were, in his estimation, not true, the first being that the Wynne government had not followed up on a 2013 promise to set up an accountability office. “It turns out she (Andrea Horwath, the NDP leader) had to apologize for that,” he said. “From what I understand, there had been a slate of names put forward but she dismissed them.” The second allegation by the NDP,

Later, at the annual Trillium Dinner in Ottawa, he arranged for Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and other entourage from the hospital to meet with Deb Matthews, the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. He did admit, however, that with nearly 50 per cent of government revenue going to cover health care costs, that the way health care is delivered currently is not sustainable. One plank in the Liberal platform that he is proud of is the proposed Ontario pension plan, one similar to Quebec’s stand-alone system, which is also complimentary to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). “I think it is a good idea,” he said. Like Barack Obama’s ‘Obamacare’ sales pitch, where he said that if you liked your doctor, you could keep your doctor, MacDonald noted that when challenged by small business owners that “you’re going to kill small business, you’re forcing them to take on insurance,” he retorts that if one has a private pension plan, you can keep it. “I do not have a pension,” he said. “I am self-employed, have been most of my life,” and that such a plan would be of benefit to others like him since, in a roundabout way, “we pay for it one way or another,” with social benefits costs to help poor seniors. “The details are still being worked out,” he hastened to add. One detail of everyday life that is all too apparent, by comparison, is rising electricity costs, which he called the “main issue.” He explained that while the “delivery charge is for re-

RCMP to be on Ontario waterways this summer News – The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Marine Security Enforcement Teams (MSET) in Ontario would like to make the public aware that we will be patrolling Ontario waterways during the 2014 boating season and to remind the public to follow safe boating practices. Each year many people are needlessly killed or injured as a result of marine incidents. The MSETs will be on the watch for unsafe boating practices and criminal activity on the waterways of Ontario. The teams will also be patrolling the Canada/US border ensuring that the public and commerce

are able to safely move about the waterways. The teams will be proactive while on patrol checking various vessels for required documents and equipment. There are different requirements for all types and sizes of watercraft. Anyone who operates a power driven vessel must also have proof of competency. For more information, visit Transport Canada’s safe boating website. Don’t mix alcohol with boating. Remember that you are responsible for the safety of your guests and others using the waterway. Impaired driving laws are the same for

operating a boat as they are for a vehicle. “The RCMP’s primary mandate on Ontario waterways is to ensure the security of the Canadian border,” stated Sgt Ian McNeill, RCMP marine co-ordinator for Ontario. “However, while on patrol, our members will also be on the look-out for unsafe boating practices such as operating a vessel under the influence.” The coastal watch program has been fully implemented and is an effective way to report concerns to the MSETs. To make a report you can call: RCMP coastal watch – 1-800387-0020.

Community – Last summer, Mekalah Leach Rathwell got a taste of life in policing. The then 14-year-old teenager took part in the Algonquin College Perth Campus’ Policing and Public Safety Career Sampler camp, where she had the opportunity to hear directly from police officers, firefighters and paramedics about their work experience and what to expect when working in each industry. The Career Sampler Camp in Policing and Public Safety is packed full of action where participants will meet professionals in Fire Safety, Paramedic and Policing. Open to youth ages 13 to 17, participants will discover how to catch a suspect by learning fingerprinting, crime scene reconstruction, and defensive tactics. They will find out what it takes to become a police officer, learning about recruitment, the Physical Readiness Evaluation for Police (PREP) testing and a court visitation. “I am really interested in taking this camp because I want to be a police officer when I grow up,” explains Mekalah. “I want to learn more about becoming a police officer, gain references and also meet new people.” Camp participants will also gear up in firefighter uniform and discover paramedic train-

spirited individuals with positive attitudes, devoted to providing a fun and safe environment for experimenting artistically without fear of negative feedback. Stepanek says that she feels her primary mandate is to build confidence, and while several alumni have gone on to successful careers in the performing arts, students find that the life skills they learn here are exceptionally valuable regardless of their chosen career. Students come from as far away as California, New York, Winnipeg, Germany and Mexico to attend the unique and acclaimed programs. The young performers always have the time of their lives, discovering new abilities, gaining new confidence, and forging new friendships,

and the performances always draw rave reviews from audiences (even from those without children in the production!) After 17 years of running a successful business in Perth, and seeing more than 3,000 students develop their theatrical skills, as well as their confidence, Stepanek recently decided that it was time to share her passion and award-winning methods with a larger community, and she is excited to be opening a new branch of the academy in Ottawa at the Gladstone Theatre this summer. The academy’s 2014 Perth summer workshops include six exciting choices: Annie (ages five to nine), Glee (five to 18), Fiddler on the Roof (seven to 16), Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (eight to 18), Academy Idol (10 to 18) and Rent

(13 to 19). Each workshop includes training in triple threat skills provided by professionals in their art (dance, voice, acting), training in various technical aspects of musical theatre (sound/ microphone use, lighting, props, costuming, makeup), a script, costumes, and a chance to perform in a professionally staged production with high quality sound and light engineering. Each workshop participant is cast in a specific role, and has the opportunity to be featured. As Heidi says, “everyone deserves a little time in the spotlight!� The workshops and accompanying shows are taking place at the Full Circle Theatre in Perth.

Make a difference at Tim Hortons Camp Day June 4 Community – Going to camp is a childhood rite of passage in North American culture, but for many children this quintessential experience is out of reach. On Camp Day, Tim Hortons guests can help make camp a reality for thousands of economically disadvantaged kids in Canada and the US. On June 4, Tim Hortons restaurant owners will generously donate all proceeds from coffee sales, as well as other fundraising activities, to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation (THCF). All funds raised go directly to sending kids on an inspiring and unforgettable camp adventure. Last year, a record $11.8 million was raised in Canada and the United States to help send more than 17,000 kids to camp. “The Tim Horton Children’s Foundation provides more than just a camp experience to every child who attends,â€? said Dave Newnham, vicepresident and executive director, Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. “It’s the opportunity for children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to help develop the skills, confidence and positive attitude needed to build a brighter future for themselves.â€? In addition to buying a coffee, Tim Hortons guests can directly impact children in their community through additional in-restaurant and online fundraising activities. Ways to participate include: • Make a donation by purchasing a tent or cabin in restaurant • Round up for Camp Day (round the after-tax total of an order to the nearest dollar amount) • Text CAMP to 45678 in Canada to donate $5 • Text CAMP to 41518 in USA to donate $5 • Donate online at sendakidtocamp.com “Camp Day is our largest fundraising activity of the year and ac-

counts for 60 per cent of all funds raised annually,� said Newnham. “Through the generosity of our loyal guests and continued support of our restaurant owners and team members, thousands of lowincome children can experience camp. Buying a coffee on Camp Day makes a true difference and with the 40th anniversary of the foundation this year, we want to make it the most successful to date.� Children who attend one of the foundation’s six camps are selected from within the communities where Tim Hortons restaurants are located. Tim Hortons restaurant owners work closely with local youth organizations and schools to the identify children who would benefit most from the

experience. Often, this camp experience is the first time a child has travelled outside their community. During their stay at a THCF camp, kids participate in a wide range of first-class programs and activities designed to build selfconfidence, self-esteem and leadership skills. The powerful life experiences learned at THCF camps come at absolutely no cost to the campers or their families. Join the #CampDay and #THCF conversation online on Facebook (www.Facebook. com/TimHortons) and Twitter (@TimHortons) or visit www. youtube.com/THCF1974 to watch inspiring videos on how the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation camps are making a difference.

About the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation camps The first Tim Horton Children’s Foundation camp opened in Parry Sound, ON in 1975 with just 200 kids. Today, the foundation operates six year-round camps across North America and serving more than 17,000 low-income children. Campers have the opportunity to attend one of three programs, including a winter and summer camp program (ages nine to 12), a yearround group program serving schools and youth groups (ages eight to 18) in the fall, winter and spring, and a fivelevel youth leadership program that is focused on building lifelong leadership skills (ages 13 to 17).

Community – Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) is excited to launch Ontario’s newest motorcycle destination, Ride the Highlands (ridethehighlands.ca). With the development of four themed routes, a website for easy trip planning and over 100 motorcycle-friendly approved operators, this motorcycle destination is ready to welcome riders this coming season. Ontario’s Highlands’ unique topography, made up of scenic landscapes, hand-crafted roads and bend after bend of never-know-what’saround-the-corner terrain makes it the perfect adrenaline-pumping destination to explore by motorcycle. Each route winds itself through many small communities that tell the stories about what it took to settle the Highlands back in the 1800s, when it was a harsh, resource-rich landscape. “Part of the OHTO’s tourism strategy is to focus on promoting the uniqueness of this diverse region,” says Nicole Whiting, executive director of OHTO. “Ride the Highlands does this by paying tribute to those that settled to the area and built the region’s fantastic roads.” More than a glimpse into the past, however, the roads also introduce riders to the area’s present-day charm, providing many opportunities to interact with friendly locals and grab a bite at quirky pit stops, including homemade butter tarts and chips trucks, one of which is rumoured to re-use the oil from its fryers in their retro Mercedes Benz. OHTO hired BC Hughes, motorcycle tourism specialists, to develop the region into a motorcycle destination in 2013. Since then, four themed routes were created and businesses were assessed to ensure they met the motorcycle friendly criteria. In the coming weeks, motorcycle friendly businesses will display a ‘Rider Approved’ window decal and ‘Motorcycle Only’ parking signs and welcome all riders. Ontario’s Highlands has an abundance of great roads for riding which could not be overlooked. On top of the four main motorcycle routes, a list of the Top 10 Roads to ride was created adding to the motorcycle experience. According to Chris Hughes, coowner of BC Hughes, “These roads were selected on one important piece

MAXIMIZING CASH FLOW Knowing what’s what with mortgages can save you money! Key Points: • When you consider buying your first home, purchasing a new home or even refinancing, it’s important to first understand the mechanics of your mortgage. • Start by making sure you are pre-approved for a mortgage, and think about how much of a downpayment you can afford. • Consider the choices of a open or closed mortgage, and fixed or variable rate. If you have any questions about how knowing more about mortgages can save you money, I would be happy to help.. With interest rates so low, you may be thinking of taking the big step into home ownership, ‘moving up’ or even refinancing your existing home. If so, knowing what’s what with mortgages can save you money now and in the future. Here’s a mortgage primer to get you going. Get pre-approved Many people want the security of knowing they have a preapproved mortgage before they go house shopping. Having a pre-approved mortgage helps you focus on looking at houses you can afford and provides the security of knowing you meet the financing requirements of the home you are trying to buy. The down payment decision Conventional mortgages do not exceed 80 per cent of the purchase price of a house – you supply the other 20 per cent as a down payment. If you don’t have that kind of cash on hand, you can apply for a high ratio mortgage, but it must be insured through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) or GE Mortgage Insurance Canada (GE). In this case, it’s important to keep in mind that

Manage Your Money you need to pay an insurance premium typically in the range of 1 per cent to 3 per cent of your mortgage amount. This fee may be added to the mortgage amount. Amortization period Amortization is the number of fixed payments or years it takes to repay the entire amount of a mortgage. The traditional amortization period is 25 years, but by making higher monthly payments over a shorter amortization period, you’ll pay off the loan much faster and save substantially on borrowing costs. Accelerated mortgage payment By making accelerated payments you’ll pay off your mortgage faster. The same is true of lumpsum payments. When you have excess cash, you can use it to reduce the principal amount of your mortgage loan. Most lenders allow a yearly lump-sum prepayment of up to 15 per cent of the original principal amount, and some allow more. Term A mortgage term is the period of time for which the money is loaned under the same rate. When the term expires, you have the choice of repaying the balance of the principal still owing or renegotiating your mortgage for a further term. Open or closed Determines how much repayment flexibility you want. An open mortgage allows payment of the principal in part or in full at any time without penalty and tends to be for a short term usually six months to one year.

Since open mortgages offer greater flexibility than closed mortgages, they typically have a higher interest rate. A closed mortgage allows limited pre-payment privileges and a penalty usually applies if you repay the loan in full prior to the end of the term. Closed mortgages typically offer a lower interest rate as compared to open mortgages of similar terms. Fixed versus variable rate With a fixed rate mortgage, you can be certain the interest rate will remain the same for the mortgage term, making it easier to budget. A variable rate mortgage may deliver a lower initial interest rate, but this may fluctuate from month to month with changes in prevailing market interest rates. The more rates change, the larger the impact on your monthly budget. Don’t jump into a mortgage – take the time to find the right product for your unique situation. We can help you make sound decisions for your life as it is now and as you wish it to be in the future. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Hub Hospice clarifies information in series Editor’s note: The following letter is in response to part one of our four-part Hospice series, Healing Hands, Helping Hearts, which kicked off in the May 22 issue. DEAR EDITOR: The Hub Hospice appreciates being included in your series regarding hospice care in our area. However, we would like to clarify an important point. You mentioned that parts of Almonte were in the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) area. Mississippi Mills and Carleton Place are actually in the Champlain LHIN. It is true that we cooperate with the South East LHIN – all LHINs cooperate to ensure good patient care – but we are under a separate district. The Hub Hospice has progressed considerably since its inception in late 2012, and is now ready to roll out a bereavement and grief support

segment of care under our co-ordinator Allison Griffith and her team of trained volunteers. We are also pleased to announce that our second Hike for Hospice held on May 4 raised more than $10,000 to support our programming. Our sponsors and the caring community in which we live have made our hike a complete success! We look forward to being featured in one of your segments on palliative care in our region. Our service is dedicated to helping people at a vulnerable stage of life when we can be part of their care team. Glenda Jones Secretary Hub Hospice

COMMENTARY

Cycle safe Editorial – Whether you’re an avid biker or new to the sport, June 2 to 8 is the perfect opportunity to strap on that helmet and hit the road. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is partnering with the City of Brockville Cycling Advisory Committee to mark Bike to Work Week 2014. While the initiative launched in Leeds and Grenville, working physical activity into your daily commute can benefit all residents of the tri-county area. Some important tips to remember include planning ahead and making sure to start small. Cycle only one or two days a week to accustom yourself to it before trying longer distances. If you’re planning to bike to work, cycle the route you are going to take before that first day. You may think you can judge how long it will take, but physical fitness, weather and traffic can all be factors in slowing cyclists down. Dress for biking. Don’t wear your three-piece suit or dress when hitting the pedals. Make sure to drop off work clothing at the office and wear light, wrinkle resistant pieces when riding. Whether your workplace has a shower may determine how challenging you make your commute. Just as important as planning is the need to stay safe on our roads. Adorn your bicycle with lights and reflectors, follow the rules of the road and wear safe footwear and an approved helmet. Motorists should take note as well: check your mirrors before opening your vehicle door and getting out and be sure to leave lots of room for cyclists. By sticking to a few simple rules, you can enjoy that morning commute with the birds chirping in your ear, rather than the usual symphony of car horns.

Mary has desperate wish to wear a slip like the other girls Lifestyle – My sister Audrey said you had to be a certain age before you were old enough to wear a slip. I could never understand the reasoning behind that rule. Surely, if you could see your underpinnings through your dress, you needed a slip! And I told her so too. The winter clothes had been packed away, and the summer wear was out. “Well,” Audrey explained, “children your age don’t wear sheer dresses, and so you don’t need a slip.” I mentally pictured my scant summer wardrobe. The only dresses I owned were two Dan River cottons I wore to church or for very special occasions. Whereas Audrey, had at least three dresses, one of a lacy fabric that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie, and one Mother had made from an organza piece of material that was on sale at Walker’s Store in Renfrew. Another dress, which she often wore to the Northcote School was a light material, and if she stood in a doorway, or the sun caught it just the right way, without a slip you would certainly see her underpinnings. She definitely needed a slip for all three of them! But how I longed for a slip! Now, part of it, I knew, was because there was a saying back in those days, that if a girl’s

slip was showing, you quietly went up to her and said, “It’s snowing down south,” and she immediately went and did something about her slip peeking beneath her hemline. I was very impressed when I heard someone say that to another girl in the schoolyard. That, to me was a sure sign of growing up. How I longed for a slip. The best thing to do was to talk it over with Mother. She said Audrey was right, that you needed a slip if you were wearing something that could show your underpinnings...but she also said it had nothing to do with how old you were. That was wonderful news to me. And I set out trying to make a bargain with Mother. If I did extra chores on Saturday, washed my underwear out every night without being asked, and promised to try to have only pleasant thoughts when it came to bad Marguirite, would Mother consider letting me have a slip? The last promise I knew, would be the hardest to keep! Mother said to let her think about it. That meant no more discussion on the subject until she brought it up.

Like the little wood pencil box my friend Joyce had...with a green palm tree painted on the outside, and a lid that slid open by using your thumb nail, and it swivelled to show a place for pencils, and even a little dent for your art gum. Or the short white stockings bad Marguirite wore to school with a tiny row of lace around the cuffs. Wanting the pencil box or the white stockings would forever remain a dream. But owning my first slip, I thought, wasn’t being that unreasonable. And then one morning I came down from our bedroom and Mother was, as usual, standing at the Findlay Oval stirring the porridge in the big white pot. She snapped the ladle against the side of the pot and put it on a saucer on the reservoir, and told me to go to her bedroom and bring out what was there.

lows (bedspreads were unheard of in our house), and there was something folded in the centre of the bed. I picked it up, and it was a slip! A real slip! I tore to the kitchen like someone possessed and asked Mother if it was for me. “Well, it’s too short for Audrey, and I doubt your brothers would be wanting to wear it,” Mother said. I was already dressed for school, but there was no way another day was going to pass without my wearing a slip. I wasn’t in a dress, but had on a cotton skirt made out of one of Uncle Jack’s dress shirts, and a blouse that once belonged to Audrey. I tore upstairs and in jig time came down with the slip on next to my bare skin and underpants, and with the blouse and skirt back on. Mother had made it at night, when we children were in bed, and the steady clack-clack of the old Singer sewing machine could be heard downstairs almost every night, but I never knew what creation Mother was working on. And here, last night, she had sewn me my first slip. It was made of white broadcloth, a luxury to be sure. It was a few inches shorter than my skirt, and had wide straps, not like Audrey’s slip which had little slides you could move up and down to shorten or 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

length it. But I was so thrilled, I could hardly wait to get to the Northcote Side Road where my friend Velma would be waiting for me to walk to school, and tell her what I had on under my skirt. I also told Joyce, and we went behind the outhouse at recess so that I could lift my skirt and show them my new slip. I would love to have let the whole school know...the girls at least, but of course I wouldn’t dare be that forward. No, I just had to live with keeping it to myself and my two best friends. Of course, I couldn’t wear it under my slacks, or shorts, and as it got warmer, it stuck to my skin, so I started only wearing it to church. It didn’t take long for the novelty of owning a slip to wear off. And it stuck to my dress or my skirt. To be honest it became quite a nuisance. And besides, since Mother had made it so much shorter than my skirts or dresses, not one soul sidled up to me and said “Mary, it’s snowing down south.” So, if no one knew I was even wearing as slip, what was the point of having one on?

Don’t let the weather forecast ruin your plans

Listen and learn The moral of this part of my story? I will be listening to my brother’s weather prognostications more carefully in future. I have another thought I feel is worth imparting. Always travel prepared for whatever you might run into, especially the weather. But don’t let a weather forecast totally alter your plans. It was cool in the mountains on this trip, no doubt about it. But we thoroughly enjoyed the

experience regardless. If you have never visited the impressive Adirondacks (and the massive park of the same name), Vermont’s pretty Green Mountains or the White Mountains of New Hampshire then you should do yourself a favour and go. They are nothing short of fantastic! This spring the “White Mountains� lived up to their name. We had never seen so much snow still on the peaks at the beginning of May. The ski season didn’t end in Lake Placid and Stowe until the week before we left. The most dedicated skiers were still enjoying decent spring conditions at Jay Peak and Killington (both resorts are in Vermont) during our stay. The ski runs at Whiteface Mountain near Lake Placid, the site of both the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic ski events still looked inviting. So too did the ski facilities at Mount Mansfield in picturesque Stowe. In fact the mountain road, an excellent if somewhat hair raising way to see Mount Mansfield up close (it is very narrow and windy at the top), was closed because snow still blocked the way. By early May it is usually open to traffic. Another example of just how severe the winter of 2013-14 was across much of North America! On day two of our excursion we left Lake Placid for the 90-minute drive to Essex, NY where we took the ferry across Lake Champlain to Vermont. On the way we stopped at breathtaking Ausable Chasm where the Ausable River makes an impressive plunge through rock for-

mations on its way to Lake Champlain. Swollen by the late melting snow the attraction was even more awe inspiring than usual this spring, prompting us to take lots of photos and video. Eventually we crossed the lake from Essex to Charlotte, Vt. The 20minute trip was made in full sunshine and we had unlimited views along the lake as well as striking vistas of the Adirondacks to the west and Green Mountains to the east. The snowcapped peaks reminded me of our spring sojourn to Vancouver two years ago. I made a mental note to repeat that experience ASAP. In Vermont we again stayed at our favourite hostelry in Stowe and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. On the Friday I turned the car south on Interstate 89. Our destination was a group of covered bridges near Lebanon, New Hampshire (just across the state line from Vermont) we had never visited. In two hours we were in the pretty New England town of Windsor, Vt. The Connecticut River, the longest watercourse in New England (it is 660 kilometres long and runs from the Quebec border to Long Island Sound), separates Vermont from New Hampshire. Impressive bridge At Windsor we crossed to Cornish, NH via the longest wooden bridge in the US. At 460 feet, the Windsor-Cornish Bridge (circa 1866) is also the longest two-span covered bridge in the world. It was a thrill to cross such a long covered bridge (most are quite

short) although Kathy and Wendy thought it looked rickety, at least from the New Hampshire side. The structure was originally built by private interests as a toll bridge. But in 1936 the State of New Hampshire purchased it and the bridge has been toll-free since 1943. We followed the covered bridge trail (there are several in the Windsor, Vt. region) but as is often the case we did not find all of the bridges we were looking for. There-in lies part of the reason we seek out these interesting edifices. The maps aren’t terribly accurate and there are no directional signs, at least not in Vermont. So it is a challenge to locate many of them since most are in remote locations, in rural areas. The hunt is far easier in New Hampshire, where 54 of the approximately 750 covered bridges which remain in service in the US are located. In NH, the bridges are numbered on maps and signs point the way. But that spoils the fun in a sense. The thrill of the chase is an important factor for us. Each new bridge we locate (Vermont has just over 100 authentic covered bridges) is dutifully photographed and added to what is now a lengthy list. Sometime soon Kathleen and I will have visited all of Vermont’s bridges. Wendy and Frank aren’t far behind. We visit some of the bridges time and again. A good example is Emily’s Bridge near Stowe. Emily is the name of the ghost which supposedly haunts the bridge. We have yet to see the spectre despite visiting annually for nearly 20 years. In the end, thanks to the less than accurate weather forecasts, our recent visit to a region so rich in covered bridges was highly successful and enjoyable. Visiting the Windsor-

Health unit provides tips to prevent West Nile infections Community – The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit would like to remind our citizens that we will be starting our mosquito surveillance program once again this June. This program will be carried through until the end of September. Should you see one of our traps in your neighbourhood, please do not disturb it. These traps are not mosquito control units, so they have no value to property owners, but they are important in identifying mosquitoes and providing a

warning that disease causing mosquitoes are present in a given area. We all play a role in preventing West Nile Virus infections, and when we all do our part we will reduce the risk of this disease in our community. Each homeowner has the responsibility of removing standing water that provides breeding areas for mosquitoes on their property. Most mosquitoes do not travel large distances and thus those breeding within your space are likely to bite you.

The municipality is charged with the responsibility of ensuring proper drainage on municipally owned lands and public ditches. The roads departments have the knowledgeable staff and proper equipment to ensure this is achieved. Additionally it is a municipal responsibility to address complaints regarding standing water on private land within its jurisdiction, using applicable property standards bylaws. Should positive mosquito pools be identified in a

municipality, it is also the responsibility of council to take the necessary control actions as recommended by the Medical Officer of Health. The health unit has the responsibility of assessing the risk for WNV within the three counties each year. This is accomplished by conducting mosquito surveillance during the warm months. The presence of virus in these natural hosts is an early sign that the virus is gaining a presence in an area. The health unit is also

responsible for following up any human cases of diseases and, more importantly, trying to prevent human cases by educating the public on strategies that reduce mosquito breeding areas and personal protection. Individuals have the responsibility to protect themselves by avoiding areas with high mosquito populations, wearing lightcoloured clothing, including long sleeves, pants and hat, to cover exposed skin and using proper repellent with the right amount of DEET.

Cornish Bridge was a major highlight! So too was our stop in the striking community of Hanover, NH I will write about Hanover in a future column. The predicted rain didn’t fall in earnest until we were close to Massena, NY on the way home. The timing

couldn’t have been more perfect. It was back to work the next day so the rain put us in exactly the mood you might expect with a work week looming. If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

chance it won’t rain. “So to say it is ‘going to rain all weekend’ when the percentage chance of rain is 20 or 30 per cent is so destructive for us (market vendors). People plan their weekends around the weather forecast. If it says rain all weekend many (customers) stay home or make other plans.� His argument makes sense to me. Rather unfortunate isn’t it. Well, on this trip to the States we found out just how right my brother is in his assessment of weather forecasting. When the “experts� on radio or TV predicted an 80 to 100 per cent probability of precipitation it was generally accurate. But when the probability was less than 50 per cent it usually didn’t rain. On Day 1 just after crossing the St. Lawrence River to Ogdensburg, NY the precipitation ceased. We left home prepared for five days of rain. I ended up wearing my raincoat once, on day one in Lake Placid. The rest of the time we experienced mainly or partly sunny skies. A few pop-up showers in the mountains, but nothing that interfered with our plans. It was wonderful – a totally unexpected treat. For the first time this spring we actually enjoyed some sustained sunshine and warmer temperatures. The air conditioning in our car was on regularly throughout.

Lifestyle – We recently returned from what has become an annual spring sojourn for us, a visit to the northeastern United States with its many rivers, lakes, expansive parks and rugged mountain ranges. The Maguires, along with our friends the LeBlancs were on another journey of discovery. We added to our growing life’s lists of covered bridges and visited new communities and different areas in New York State, Vermont and New Hampshire. We departed on a cold, wet day and the prevailing weather front appeared to stretch across most of eastern Canada and the northeast US. The long-term forecast was for more of the same and that included Lake Placid, NY and Stowe, Vermont which were our “operating bases� for this particular driving holiday. My brother Randy, who along with his wife Mary Lynne operates an orchard and market garden near Carp, is a weather forecast skeptic. Randy is a regular at the Carp Farmers’ Market and therefore the weekend weather outline means more to him than it does to most people. Understandably the public doesn’t respond well to poor weather. If it is cold, wet or both on market day numbers are usually down considerably. My brother’s pet peeve about TV and radio weather forecasts is how dubious they often are based on Environment Canada’s actual predictions. “Nothing makes me crazier than to hear the personalities (radio and TV weather folks aren’t always meteorologists) say ‘It is going to rain all weekend’. That is rarely the case,� Randy argues. “Take a look at the (rainfall) percentages. That’s what tells the tale,� he says. “If there is a 30 per cent chance of rain then there is a 70 per cent

Part Two of a Four-Part Series

Volunteers a critical part of Hospice’s success By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

News – Inside Ottawa Valley, covered by The Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette, The Kemptville Advance, The Perth Courier and The Smiths Falls Record News, will take a look at the palliative care services offered in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Over the next four weeks, we’ll examine aspects of palliative care, like funding, caregivers’ roles, and helping loved ones through their final stages of life. This second installment talks about the the roles of volunteers within Hospice and how they can ease the burden on caregivers. Volunteers are the heart and soul of Hospice. They not only provide care and companionship to those with terminal illnesses, but also offer respite to caregivers who need a break. And without volunteers, Hospice programs and services wouldn’t be possible. They are the lifeblood and unfortunately, there are never enough. What many may not realize is that they can tailor how often they volunteer based on how much time they have to give. At Community Home Support Lanark County, their Volunteer Hospice Visiting Service trains volunteers with a short course, where they learn spiritual guidance, bereavement skills and minor medical skills to help with day-to-day care. Perth area resident and retired teacher Jennifer Jilks is one of those dedicated volunteers who is an asset to Community Home Support Lanark County (CHSLC). After providing care to her aging parents (palliative care to late mother Joan and longterm care to late father Ray) through lengthy illnesses, Jilks knows firsthand how physically and emotionally draining a caregiver’s role can be. “When it’s your own family and you’re the caregiver, it’s so emotionally draining,” she admitted. “...It’s rewarding to give back, partly because you’re paying it forward and you hope that at some point, the same will be done for you.” Prior to moving to Perth in the fall of 2010, Jilks took the Foundations in Palliative Care course in 2008 while living in Muskoka. Given to personal support workers and nurses involved in home and long-term care, Hospice Muskoka, where she was volunteering at the time, believed their volunteers would benefit from having it under their belt. It was an eye-opener for Jilks. “Hospices receive very little government funding and (the course) really synthesized everything that I had felt with my parents,” she said. While caring for her father, who suffered from a brain tumour, Jilks gained a valuable piece of knowledge: knowing the signs of pain and how to

Perth area resident Jennifer Jilks is a Hospice volunteer with Community Home Support Lanark County. She is also a volunteer advisor with the Canadian Virtual Hospice online and penned the 2008 book, identify it on a patient’s face if they aren’t able to communicate it. “While my father was ill he was on pain medication and many believed he wasn’t in pain, but a nursing student emailed me one time, wanting to take pictures of dad’s face, knowing he was in pain. They wanted to use them to teach other nurses,” Jilks said, noting that agitation and picking at clothing can be other indicators of pain. Dementia can also mask it. “Pain is such an abstract concept. My dad couldn’t say ‘I feel pain,’ because of the tumour.” Upon moving to Perth, Jilks went to the CHSLC office to see about volunteering. Her husband had also helped with the Meals on Wheels program in Muskoka and Jilks said CHSLC “kind of scooped us up.” Volunteer role Carleton Place’s Yvonne Kilpatrick has been volunteering with the CHSLC since it began offering Hospice services approximately 12 years ago. She trained as a teacher, but originally wanted to become a nurse. “I love helping people, but I just can’t handle the sight of blood,” Kilpatrick said. Like Jilks, she provides companionship and company to clients, not care and it was Kilpatrick’s experience caring for her mother-in-law, who suffered from cancer in her later years, that prompted her to volunteer.

“After (my mother-in-law) was gone, I thought a lot about how much the companionship meant to her. That was what made me want to volunteer with a Hospice,” she said. “Some people don’t have anyone to sit by their bed and just talk to them while they’re ill.”

“When it’s your own family and you’re the caregiver, it’s so emotionally draining...It’s rewarding to give back, partly because you’re paying it forward and you hope that at some point, the same will be done for you.” JENNIFER JILKS, HOSPICE VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY HOME SUPPORT-LANARK COUNTY

Typically, Jilks works with one client at a time, while Kilpatrick takes on multiple patients, mainly in the Carleton Place area. “Sometimes I take on two or three patients at a time, but sometimes I’ll only take one, especially if I feel like that patient is in need of more of my attention,” Kilpatrick commented, stating that visits a few times a week THE EMC - 24 - Thursday, May 29, 2014

can range from one to four hours. Both are matched with new clients by Rebecca Bowie, CHSLC’s Hospice Palliative Care Services co-ordinator, to see if they would be a good fit. “She (Rebecca) will get a call from a CCAC (Community Care Access Centre) worker or families directly and she sends out information about new clients, the needs they have and health issues,” Jilks explained. “I decide on the proximity and what I can manage.” Volunteers are assigned to patients based on compatibility, experience and willingness and volunteers can refuse cases they aren’t comfortable with. “I have sat with terminally ill children in the past, but it turned out to be too difficult to me,” Kilpatrick stated. “It was all I could do to hold it together until I could get out to my car and cry. It was too much.” Jilks said Bowie is a great resource for volunteers as well. “We (volunteers) have monthly meetings with Rebecca in Perth or Carleton Place and they are very valuable. We talk about any issues we have and solutions.” Kilpatrick, who volunteers between six to 10 hours each week, said the training course offered to CHSLC volunteers prepares them well for what’s expected, which might not be for all. “A lot of volunteers don’t make

it through the (training) course,” she said. “Some people don’t think through the emotional toll that being a Hospice volunteer can take on you. Often you’re the only person there for the patient while they’re dying and that’s not easy. The course is a good wake-up call for some people, to let them know that they might not be the best candidates to be Hospice volunteers.” She indicated the only reason she feels she made it through was the experience she had with her motherin-law. “I wanted to help people who were ill, of course, but I also wanted to help people who had been in the same situation as I had been.” Each volunteer is able to help each client in a different way, whether it’s reading to someone or embroidering with another. “There are a wide range of things we (volunteers) do. I have one client in her 70s who is living alone and all she wanted me to do was to go there every Tuesday afternoon to play Skip Bo with her. She didn’t want to talk about her illness or anything,” she explained. “In other cases, I sit with clients while family members go off and do what they need to do.” What’s most important, however, is being able to give those caregivers respite and peace of mind knowing that while they are handling other duties, their loved ones are in good hands. “It gives them (caregivers) a break, for me to go in for that period of time. It’s really worthwhile and it helps out. With my current clients, the caregivers go and visit their great grandkids for a while and I sit with her husband and we have great conversations. They’re so grateful,” Jilks said. “It’s nice to have someone come in and take over for a while,” added Kilpatrick. “If you need to get groceries or take the kids to soccer practice, it’s nice to have someone there to spend time with the patient.” Kilpatrick said that most times she simply sits and talks with patients, giving them companionship and a shoulder to cry on. She said it’s often easier for patients to speak to a stranger as they don’t want to worry their families with talk of death, but need someone to confide in. And sometimes the patient just wants to get their mind off their situation and find out more about their volunteer’s life. “It’s hard not to get emotionally involved,” Kilpatrick noted. For Jilks, the person she learned the most from in volunteering was mentor Kay Devlin, who passed away at age 96. “She was a nurse and passed away, but she had such wise words. She told me ‘I learned so much about myself being in long-term care that I didn’t know before,’” Jilks noted. “... She taught me a lot and told me to See SERIES page 25

look at it that it’s not the end of your life, it’s just a part of it.” Advocate Jilks is not your average volunteer. It’s a true passion for her. So much so that she penned a novel in 2008, Living and Dying with Dignity, about her experiences caring for her parents as they neared the end of life. She wrote it as a tool for others going through similar situations in the hopes that it would provide them with insight. Thef first half of the book, Jilks tells her personal story and in the second part, she provides information on long-term care, networking opportunities, signs of dementia and more. She also blogs regularly (ontarioseniors.blogspot.com) and is a volunteer advisor with Canadian Virtual Hospice (www. virtualhospice.ca), which provides information and support on palliative and end-of-life care. “It’s a place where caregivers can log on and has a chat area where they can vent, help one another, compare stories and find solutions,” Jilks stated, who relishes her advisor role. “I’ve had so many clients that ranged a number of issues, so I enjoy that part (of volunteering) as well.” “I have fallen into this role as counsellor,” she continued. “It’s really interesting and there are people I can help.” With such vigor for caregiving, Jilks has become an advocate to those aging within the Ontario health care system. CCACs make the decision on which patients are eligible to receive home care. Jilks said case managers determine who gets extra help and information about what agencies are out

there to aid them. “The volunteer role is so varied and it’s all about what each individual can manage,” she said. “I’ve done a lot of research and I believe we can advocate for our clients. There’s no reason they should be in pain or not getting services.” She’s also realistic. “I tell people that their loved one may not be able to die at home if they require a certain level of care,” Jilks stressed. “I don’t

In her volunteer role, she no longer receives mileage compensation, so she has to choose what areas she will commute to more carefully. Consistency of care is another issue, Jilks pointed out. It’s ideal to have a core group of familiar faces aiding a patient, but it isn’t always possible. The fact that the training of personal support workers (PSWs) isn’t regulated exacerbates the problem and can

can understand how it’s not for everyone. “I do think there aren’t enough of us and they (province) are cutting back in terms of home care, so some families have such high expectations of what we (volunteers) can provide,” she said, noting that the gratitude she receives from families is overwhelming. “The system can’t put people in their homes 24 hours a day, seven days a week, paid or unpaid. It’s hard for people

Role of a volunteer... The following information was provided by Rebecca Bowie, co-ordinator, Hospice Palliative Care Services, Community Home Support-Lanark County. Community Home Support-Lanark County has more than 60 Hospice volunteers throughout Lanark County. Trained volunteers are providing support to people living with a life-limiting illness and to those who are dying in their homes, in the hospital and at the day hospice program. Trained volunteers are also involved in the bereavement program providing individual support and assisting with the support groups. Requirements New volunteers are required to complete a 30 hour Hospice Palliative Care Training Program that includes information about their role and the organization; effective communication skills; the role of the family and family dynamics; emotional, psychological, spiritual and physical issues; pain and symptom management; caring for people at make promises.” She is quite vocal about the funding cuts to hospice services. “The way the (funding) system is set out, it’s logical and practical that when you have half of the CEOs of the LHINs (Local Health Integration Networks) making $250,000, then of course, the province is cutting home care,” she stated.

home or in a hospice; grief and bereavement; and self-care. There are also ongoing continuing education opportunities for volunteers and monthly meetings where there is a chance to connect with other volunteers to discuss ways to best serve our clients. Hospice volunteers provided 8,297 hours of support (in person and on the phone) to 227 clients from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014, a one-year period. The hours are equivalent to more than 4.5 full-time paid staff positions. There would be no program without the volunteers! Their gift of time is invaluable to the people they are supporting. Volunteers are asked to volunteer no more than four hours per week. Clients are needing a range of support between one and four hours per week. If anyone is interested in joining our team of Hospice volunteers, we will be offering an in-house training this fall over five Saturdays. Please give us a call at our office: 613-267-6400.

sometimes lead to abusive situations. “There’s a wide spectrum. Some PSWs can be receiving minimum wage in some horrible places and others can earn $20 an hour somewhere else. The consistency is very difficult and care facilities are always short.” Jilks also believes there aren’t enough volunteers, but

“Being a Hospice volunteer isn’t for everyone. It’s rewarding but it can also be very hard,” she explained. “The job pretty much guarantees that you’re going to get close to someone who is going to die.

It’s a great way to really make a difference

in someone’s life,” Kilpatrick added. However, the main role of a Hospice volunteer is quite simple and all boils down to the human connection, said Jilks. “The goal for us as volunteers is for people to have a good death and this is possible,” she concluded.

Finding a way to say goodbye after 56 years By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The story of how they met is a funny one. “Herman was living in Canada at the time, but returned home for his sister’s wedding,” said Bertha Tenbult. “I was there, because it was my brother marrying his sister.” Bertha and her sister both commented on the size of the Tenbult family, noting there were more men than women. “There was one that didn’t seem to belong,” said Bertha. “He didn’t look like the others. That was that.” Bertha ended up sitting beside Herman’s mother during dinner and she was talking about how happy she was he could make it home for the wedding. “I asked her if he planned on returning to Canada,” said Bertha. “She said that if he found a girlfriend he would go back.” The wedding lasted until 3 a.m. and Bertha had to go to work at 7 a.m. “Didn’t have much time together,” said Bertha. Luckily, Herman was determined to get to know Bertha a little better and showed up at her parent’s house on one of her days off work. One year later, they were married, sparking a partnership that would span over half a century. Along the way, Herman and Bertha became the proud parents of three children and grandparents of five. “His intention when he came to Canada was to farm,” said John Tenbult, Herman’s son. “He soon found out that working on a farm wouldn’t give him enough money to buy a farm, which is why he went to work in the mines in Sudbury for eight or nine years.” John said his father liked hard work and eventually earned enough money to achieve his goal of owning a farm. Herman purchased a farm off Highway 43, in what was then known as Oxford Township. “He wasn’t one to brag, but he was very strong,” said John. “In the mines, they had these drills that each worker would operate. My dad got to the point where he could operate two at one time.” After a lifetime together, Bertha said goodbye to her husband and best friend of 56 years on July 8 of last year. Before he passed away, Herman formed a special relationship with a hospice volunteer, by the name of David Nash. The two were paired up through the Beth Donovan Hospice in Kemptville. “I first heard of hospice from my older sister in Holland, who was very sick at the time,” said Bertha. “She was going to look at different places and decided where to go. I paid close attention to that.” When Herman began to decline in health in the fall of 2012, Bertha decided to get help from the hospice. At the time, David had just completed his volunteer training. Herman would become his first client. Bertha knew right away that David and Herman were a good match and felt completely comfortable leaving her husband in his care. “I was surprised because he was so reserved,” said Bertha. “I could feel the connection he had with

Grieving for a loved one can be the hardest thing one can do. After 56 years together, Bertha Tenbult said goodbye to her husband and best friend, Herman, shown with her at right. In his later years, Herman benefitted from a special relationship with Beth Donovan Hospice volunteer David Nash. They formed a bond and David said Herman became more like a friend than a patient to him. Above, volunteer Nash with Bertha, John Tenbult and Anny Tenbult. Photo by JENNIFER WESTENDORP/submitted

David right away.” David would sit with Herman for one morning a week, or more often if called upon. “He talked a fair bit to me,” said David. “He told me about farming a working in the mines. He opened up a fair bit.” David described Herman a real gogetter. “He told me once that he made a lot more money than other people working in the mines because he could do so much more work,” said David. David said he was a really proud family man, unabashed by showing off pictures of his children and grandchildren. “He would say who is who and what they’re like,” said David. “He was a proud father.” Herman was never much of a talker, but when he said something, everyone in the room would stop what they were doing to hear him speak. “I always go the sense David was a good listener,” said John. “I asked my mom how things were going because dad wasn’t much of a talker and David would be there for three

of four hours at a time.” Bertha saw the connection immediately. “David had some interesting stories,” said Anny. “He made dad laugh.” The last year of Herman’s life was a downhill ride for the family. “It was nice to learn to sit down and be quiet with my dad because we’re so used to a fast paced lifestyle,” said John. When Herman broke his hip, he had to stay in Ottawa over Thanksgiving. “The biggest thing was our whole family came into Ottawa to spend Thanksgiving with him,” said Bertha. “It meant so much to him. He was almost so proud, he was embarrassed.” Herman as the epitome of a proud man, according to his family, which is why he refused to go into palliative care. “Herman didn’t want to go into the THE EMC - 26 - Thursday, May 29, 2014

hospital,” said Bertha. “He wanted us to be comfortable too. We were always talking about him, but the important thing to him was us.” The Tenbult family thought it would have been advantageous to have a hospice home in Kemptville, which unfortunately there isn’t the funding for. “That’s what we’re striving for,” said Beth Donovan Hospice executive director Dawn Rodger. “We’ve hit so many barrier.” Herman remained at home with Bertha for the duration of his illness. This was hard on Bertha, despite help from the hospice and her family, because she is elderly herself. “It really helped having David come every week because it enabled my mom to get out of the house for a few hours,” said Anny. David truly enjoyed his time with Herman and viewed him as more of a friend than a patient. “He liked doing puzzles and he

was really good at it,” said David. “I loved the whole experience. I feel blessed to have been part of this family. It was an honour to be able to go in and meet someone like Herman. I’m better for it.” David said it’s not so much a question of losing someone as a celebration of life. “He brought so much to my life,” said David. David even spent the night with Herman at the Ottawa General Hospital to give his family a break. “That’s what it’s all about,” said David. “Helping them helped me. It makes me feel good to be involved. Bertha could call me anytime and I would come over. I was always willing to go visit Herman.” Bertha was able to access valuable equipment through the hospice as well, such as a wheelchair. The equipment lending program saves families from having to buy all the necessary health care equipment. “We had a problem with the wheelchair one time and I brought it over to the hospice,” said John. “The volunteer on sight fixed it right away.” The hospice was so much more than just a resource to the Tenbult family. “My mom hit the nail right on the head when we were talking about the hospice the other day,” said John. “I asked her why the hospice was so important to her. Her response was that they are a very compassionate organization. Bertha spoke with her sister, who was also in hospice care, on the phone before she passed away. “She said the people here are so caring,” said Bertha. Dawn said the hospice focuses on taking care of the whole family, as well as the individual in need of their services. “Hospice is so much more than just caring for the individual, but the rest of the family as well,” said David. “The volunteers do that because they want to. It’s not a job or a paycheck.” David said the goal behind hospice is making every day the best of quality for the whole family. “We give primary caregivers, like Bertha, a break,” said David. Anny said it really helped Herman having someone there. “It meant a lot to him,” said Anny. The friendship that formed between David and Herman was anything but one sided. “When I went to the hospital to see Herman, he asked about David,” said Dawn. Saying goodbye to someone you love is one of the hardest aspects of life. Unfortunately, it is a reality everyone must face at some point in their lives. “I watched the final game of the (NHL) playoffs with my dad in the hospital,” said John. “I told him what was going on in the game because he would doze off every once in a while. My dad was proud to watch the game with me. He told my mom about it the next day.” Anny said Herman really enjoyed watching hockey games. His grandchildren would come over sometimes to watch a game with him. “It was nice to see,” said Anny. Everyone has their own special way of saying goodbye.

Workplace nutrition, what can I do? Nutrition Tips Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit

ployees and sets up a supportive environment for healthy choices. Many workplaces think wellness programs take a lot of time and money. Addressing employee wellness can be low cost and result in more efficient workers, lower employee turnover and decrease the number of sick days/disability time an employee takes. Businesses can save money through workplace wellness!

Why is it important to create a supportive nutrition environment? Workplaces have a huge impact on individual eating habits. Canadians spend more than half their waking hours at work and eat at least one meal there each day. Food is often a big part of workplace social activities and if there are not healthy choices available it can be difficult for those who are trying to make healthy choices. People’s ability to resist tempting foods such as cake at celebrations or candy dishes on desks can vary greatly. By increasing the amount of healthy foods in the workplace it shows respect toward em-

What can employees do? • Bring healthy snacks to meetings or to share with coworkers. Healthy snacks don’t have to take more time or be more costly. Rather than buy a dozen donuts from your local coffee shop, pick-up a pack of yogurts and a bag of grapes for the same price. • Organize a fun, healthy activity. Sign-up for a community walk/run with co-workers to fundraise instead of holding a bake-sale. • Start a healthy recipe exchange. Most people have at least one tasty, easy recipe they could share. This can create hype related to health, improve office morale and build your

own recipe bank. What to do with “treats”. When a client brings sweets/ treats to the work place, put them in a freezer to save them for a work event instead of putting them out right away. What can management do? • Get employees involved. Hold a meeting/ send out an email to hear what impacts employees eating habits at work and what they want changed. • Create policies. Make the healthy choice the normal choice by creating policies on foods available. Create guidelines around foods that are served at meetings and left in common areas. • Celebrate success. Use memberships to a gym, passes to the skating rink or an afternoon off to reward employees instead of providing food. Celebrate occasions (e.g. birthdays) with free chili or sandwiches for lunch rather than with cake or coordinate events so there are less celebrations overall. Prevent weight bias. Weight bias is a negative stereotype towards individuals for being overweight or thin which can lead to discrimination.

Lifestyle – How many of us have gone to drop-off our lunch in the staff kitchen only to find a box of cookies? When you take one, it is not because you are hungry, but because they look so good and they are there for the taking! Hunger is not the only thing that impacts what and how much we eat; it’s also controlled by what foods are around us. Read on for tips managers and employees can use to make their workplace one that supports the healthy choice.

Make sure you do not encourage weight bias through your wellness programs by targeting specific groups. Discourage activities such as weightloss competitions similar to the popular television show the ‘Biggest Loser’. Workplace wellness is not about telling people what they can or cannot eat. It is creating a place where the healthy choice is the normal choice and where workers feel supported when they choose to eat healthy.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

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.

product they’ve bought so they can continue to refine the various strains they’re offering for different ailments. “It’s always about finding the right strain for you – so customers are encouraged to try four similar strains and pick the one that works best for them,” said Zekulin. In the meantime the company does provide customers with considerable information on each strain, from it’s THC levels to Cannibidiol (CBD) levels and the ailments each strain is believed to be best suited to treat. The prices listed on their website vary from $5 to $12 per gram depending on the strain’s medicinal properties. “We ship coast to coast, although we have focused on the Ontario market for now,” said Zekulin. The plan is to offer 25 different strains with various properties designed to help patients with pain, anxiety, neurological conditions including seizures, depression, fatigue, insomnia, nausea and stress. Their website is set up so that patients can browse through the strains that are recommended for the various ailments or directly by strain. The next harvest is expected to include an additional four to six strains. Even as they work on ramping up production the company is also taking the initiative on educating the medical community. “We attend various medical conferences and set up a booth with information and we have pharma reps out there talking to doctors and answering questions,” said Zekulin. The company says it will be holding an official opening sometime later this year, though an exact date is still being worked out. R0022726716_0529

News - Smoke from a burning microwaved frozen dinner sent residents of the apartment complex at 12 Toulon St., Smiths Falls scurrying to the streets. No injuries were reported, but the resident of the apartment on the first floor who was cooking her dinner, said it was probably time to buy a new microwave. Smiths Falls Fire Department was on scene to blow out the smoke with industrial-sized fans. All residents were allowed back in their homes in about an hour’s time.

News - It’s been a busy time at Tweed. They’ve managed to leverage millions in new funding, have already gone from six employees to nearly 40, and sold out of the first harvest produced in the new plant. The company was able to leverage new funding through a share offering that was snapped up by a syndicate of underwriters led by GMP Securities. The bought deal as it is called has raised $15 million for the company so far. The transaction is something of a milestone making Tweed the first publicly traded marijuana producer. “We haven’t earmarked what specifically the funds are for, but one of the things they will go to is the ability to expand,” Mark Zekulin, vice president and general council with Tweed told The Record News. In the meantime the plant is a hive of activity. The original six employees have been augmented and the total is now between 35 and 40 employees from Smiths Falls, Brockville and Lanark Highlands. “We’ve got growers, customer service employees, shipping, trimming, human resources, medical outreach personnel, marketing communications and security personnel,” said Zekulin. Walking past the customer service area, is to hear several voices on the phone and keyboard keys clicking away. “We’re always busy with calls, and people sending in licenses which all have to be verified by the signing party,” said the customer care team leader at Tweed. Meanwhile, construction is

ongoing. The new lobby and reception area is in the final stages of completion and will double as a staff lobby for meals or breaks. Inside the plant there are currently three operational grow rooms each capable of producing about 500,000 grams of medicinal marijuana annually. There are three more grow rooms that are almost ready to come online and are expected to be in use by August. Another six grow rooms are expected by December this year. The company has had to pick up the pace of its planned expansion to meet demand following its first product sale earlier this month. “There were four strains in the first batch and we sold out in the first two days,” said Zekulin. After a failed attempt to augment their supply from growers licensed under the old regime earlier this year, Tweed is now fully committed to only handling product produced at the Smiths Falls plant, but it takes time to build up stock and the demand, according to Zekulin, was higher than they anticipated which is why the company is not currently registering new applicants. They are still welcoming new enquiries but are holding off on registrations at the moment. “We’ve stopped taking on new customers until we can be sure we have enough product,” he explained. According to Zekulin, Health Canada estimates the average user’s typical dosage runs between one and three grams a day. ‘We’ve found that the medical document are higher, but that only reflects what patients can order, not necessarily what they are ordering,” said Zekulin. In the meantime Tweed is soliciting feedback from its first customers on the efficacy of the

Crash sends victims to hospital News - Two people were trapped in two separate vehicles on Highway 15 near Ford Road after a three-car motor vehicle accident at about 8 a.m. May 21. Montague Township and Beckwith Township firefighters are on scene with Mutual Aid help from Lanark County and Smiths Falls. According to police, a burgundy Ford Edge and a white GMC Envoy were travelling northbound on Highway 15 when a black GMC pick-up truck was travelling southbound on Highway 15 and it collided with the two

northbound vehicles. The male driver of the black pickup and female driver of the burgundy Ford Edge were transported to hospital with serious injuries. The female driver of the white GMC Envoy sustained minor injuries. Police ask if there are any witnesses to this collision to please contact Lanark County OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Detours were in place at Ford Road for northbound traffic, and at Franktown Road and MacPherson Road for southbound traffic for close to 10 hours.

There have only been two 10 per cent increases since 2004, compared to annual increases in Smiths Falls. “Where was your five-year plan – every business has one – where was yours?â€? said another angry resident at the meeting. This year’s water rate increase was a long time coming and with no more reserves to draw on council decided to pass the entire cost to ratepayers in one shot. “I recommended several scenarios to council, starting with a 13 per cent increase all the way to the 50 per cent increase that they voted in,â€? said Mason. As things stand, all Montague residents who have town water and sewage have received a letter stating, “In order for the water and wastewater system to meet its expense obligations, a rate increase of 50 per cent was approved at the council meeting of April 22‌â€? Meanwhile in Smiths Falls acting CAO Stephen Fournier confirms that there are talks being held with Montague and Barnes says he’s hoping to find an equitable solution for residents. “I personally don’t think there’s anything we can do about it, we just have to let it take its course,â€? said Kirk Evoy, a Montague resident affected by the hike, “but there are a lot of people that just can’t afford it.â€?

Clark aims for re-election in Leeds-Grenville By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca

News – The following is the first in a series of profiles of Leeds-Grenville candidates in the upcoming provincial election. “I love Leeds and Grenville,� says Steve Clark, incumbent Leeds-Grenville MPP. The Progressive Conservative candidate touts the riding as a great place to live, to raise a family and to run a business. With all these positives however, there are a number of challenges the province and the riding are facing, he noted. Over the last several years, from all four corners of Leeds and Grenville, similar concerns and desires for change have been voiced such as the need for affordable energy, balancing of the budget, lowering of taxes as well as creating new jobs, he says. Creating a climate in which Ontario is back on track to be a leader in job creation, he notes, “As opposed to being a have-not province,� is the intention behind the PC party’s Million Jobs Plan. “I have consistently been a vocal advocate for the issues facing people in Leeds and Grenville,� he noted. Working hard and getting results are both very important to Clark, noting his constituency office is a very active one. He always aims to hit the ground running to ensure people have access to their MPP. As well, representing their interests at Queen’s Park to the best of his ability is important to the incumbent. On another major issue facing this riding, Clark has made his voice clear

Progressive Conservative MPP Steve Clark is hoping constituents will re-elect him once again for this riding June 12.

in fighting the closure of the Kemptville Campus of the University of Guelph. The PC party, he says, has led the charge against the campus closures, announced earlier this year. Clark notes Premier Kathleen Wynne “hasn’t stood up� to come to the defence of keeping the campus open and Ontario’s NDP leader Andrea Horwath has been, “Missing in action,� he says. As for the fight, which continues, to keep the casino in Gananoque and the Township of Leeds and the 1000 Islands, “our party has been pretty clear,�

he reports. The PC party wishes to build on the successes of the casino. Anyone driving by the gaming facility on Highway 401 has a clear view of a very full parking lot, Clark notes, saying it is busy all the time. The goal is to keep the casino where it is and to ensure those 400 plus jobs stay in this riding. With regards to Tim Hudak, Ontario PC leader, and his proposed Million Jobs Plan, there has been much made of the piece of the plan calling for the decrease in public sector jobs by 100,000 over a four-year period. Clark explains every year between five and nine per cent of the province’s 1.1 million employees are leaving their jobs through attrition. “We are looking at 10 per cent, or 2.5 per cent per year,� he said of job loss which would equate to some jobs left through attrition not being replaced. However, one thing for certain is the ongoing support of front line workers, workers such as nurses, police officers and others. Clark pointed out he has always stood up for front line workers and will continue to do so. Skilled trades are another important aspect of the campaign. The Conservative party would “abolish the College of Skilled Trades,� he said. A focus needs to be put on creating skilled trades work, as well as to look for opportunities for interprovincial trade. He’s also listening to the business community which has been telling him they are being burdened by red tape and bureaucracy. Clark has been MPP for Leeds Grenville since 2010, when he was elected in a by-election, then re-elected in 2011.

A graduation with a twist By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community - Anytime a school’s mandate changes is a significant historical event in the lifespan of that institution. North Elmsley Public School is experiencing one of those moments and more importantly has chosen to mark the event with an appropriately symbolic celebration. “This is the final Grade 8 graduating class,� explained Paul Hannah, school principal, “I thought wouldn’t it be great to have the first graduating class from 1966 there as well?� So on June 24, North Elmsley Public School will be holding the Grade 8 graduation ceremony at Code’s Mill Restaurant in Perth. Students and guests are invited to arrive for dinner at 5 p.m. with the graduation ceremony scheduled to start at 6 p.m. “We’re hoping to get as many of the original graduates out and have them follow the newly graduating grade eights out in a procession immediately after the ceremony,� said Hannah. The entire idea came about when Hannah was talking to one of the school’s trustees, Bill MacPherson, who happens to have been a member of that first graduating class when the school was brand new. As it turned out, a little research revealed that most of the graduates were still living in the area. “I’ve tracked a few people that I haven’t seen in 48 years and talking to them it’s like we graduated yesterday,� said MacPherson. So far MacPherson has managed

to track down about 18 of the original graduates, and Hannah had no difficulty convincing the current head girl and head boy to send them all invitations to the graduation. “The students thought it was a great idea, and said ‘let’s do it,’� said Hannah. After the graduation ceremony the new graduates will join the rest of the Perth family of elementary schools for a dance at Perth District Collegiate Institute, while the 1966 graduates are invited to a reception at their alma mater. “Our gym isn’t big enough to host a graduation dance here, but we can host up to 20 people here. So we’re planning a reception with refreshments while playing the musical hits of 1966 in the background,� said Hannah. As he points out it’s an opportunity to celebrate a history that not every school gets an opportunity to revisit. North Elmsley Public was built in 1965, after another school had burned down. “The township decided at that time to built one central eight room school and collect all the one room schools into it. Back then it cost $155,000 to build and it’s first year of operation was 1965/1966 with 225 students,� said Hannah. In the meantime, as everyone at North Elmsley Public gears up for the big day, the hunt is one for the ‘Super 8’ video from 1966, that’s believed to be out there somewhere. “If we can get a copy we’ll be playing that video at the reception with the original grads,� said Hannah.

TOWN OF SMITHS FALLS

Eco-friendly pet loss service opens at Gallipeau Centre By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

Business - Losing a pet can be a traumatic experience but now there is a death-care partner in town with experience in helping grieving families and individuals. Hilton’s Unforgettable Tales will be opening its doors at the Gallipeau Centre on June 2 and is the first pet bio-cremation provider in Ontario. “It’s the most environmentally-friendly system on the market,” said Dale Hilton, owner. Born and raised in Smiths Falls, Hilton has considerable experience in the funeral business through Lannin Funeral Home, the family business. This system is different in that it’s a water based cremation system that uses strong alkali in water at relatively low temperatures to quickly reduce the body to ashes. The process is not harmful to the environment and the by-product is a highly effective and safe fertilizer, while using a fraction of the energy traditional fire cremation uses. Perhaps more importantly the system kills all pathogens more effectively than traditional cremation and leaves about 20 per cent more of the bone intact. “It’s the only system that kills all pathogens and viruses - flame doesn’t and viruses can live on in the marrow of the bone,” said Hilton. The new fully accessible facility at the Gallipeau Centre which offers full service pet loss aftercare includes a luxurious visitation room and opulent reception area and is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. At the same time the service has a 48-hour turn around time and is available 24 hours a day for house calls. “People will be able to pick out urns for the their pets right here,” said Hilton. The service is versatile and

has different price points for private cremation whereby the client gets back their pet’s ashes, semi-private where clients still get their ashes and communal where the clients forego the ashes. “It’s reasonable - price wise - less than what flame based cremation would be because the operating costs are lower,” said Hilton. The chemicals used are according to Hilton not expensive and there are no fuel costs. The plan is to service about 100 to 150 veterinarians from Ottawa to Cornwall and Kingston as far as Renfrew to Desoronto, and everything in between. So pet owners can access the service through their local veterinarians or by direct contact with Unforgettable Tails. “We do all the pick-up,” said Hilton. “We currently have two drivers on the road.” Grieving families can choose to go with a standard urn or upgrade to a special urn from a display at Unforgettable Tales. Each diseased pet’s family will receive a personal letter from Hilton, a hair clipping or paw print and a cremation certificate. Hilton’s Unforgettable Tails offers online pet bereavement support and can assist with pet remembrance ceremonies as well as burial services. “Your pet will also be entered on the obituary side of the website and clients can add photographs and write about their pets,” said Hilton. Although not officially open yet, the facility is already operational and will employ several people. “I’m going to run at five staff members once it gets going - and we’ll possibly expand to up to eight,” said Hilton.

Council passes bylaw A love of animals leads to birthday party fundraiser to adopt community donations policy “I’m a singer and entertainer, and I’m going to be using background music because my partner Jeff might not be able to make it, but I’ll still be putting on a two hour show,� said Angie Stoddard of Jeff and Angie Blue Thunder. Stoddard who also happens to be Aiden’s grandmother will also be bringing some of her unique paintings and doing some live painting on site. “The paintings usually have a hidden image, that you can only see if you hold it up to the light,� said Stoddard, an accomplished artist. As a painter Stoddard will be part of the a group called Aspiring Artists from 3 Directions and while Stoddard paints canvases her two partners will be face painting. “If people bring in a canvas I will paint it, but I’ll also bring canvases and the paintings I do will all have the WWF panda bear image somewhere in the painting, so kids can take it home and remember what it was all about,�

News - On Tuesday, May 20 at the regular council meeting held at town hall, council adopted a number of bylaws not the least of which was one to adopt a community donations policy that will help steer future councils more smoothly through that particular minefield. The meeting started as usual with announcements and councillor reports detailing the dozens of events and meetings each councillor and the mayor attend in any given month. Besides the community donations policy council passed a number of housekeeping bylaws, allowing the town to receive Federal Gas Tax funds, to renew the agreement with Parks Canada with regard to Old Slys Lock Station, etc. Council also passed a bylaw to allow the town to sign up for a Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs analytical tool that is deemed useful to the economic development department. A bylaw to allow one of the firefighters to attend a training session in the U.S. was passed along with by laws accepting the town’s 2013 audited financial statements, the town’s 213 Reconciliation of Municipal Budget to Tangible Asset Based Financial Statement and the fire department’s monthly report.

Community - He’s about to turn 10 years old and he’s like any other regular youngster according to his grandmother, but this year Aiden Henderson has decided to turn his birthday party into a fundraiser for the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF). “I’m helping raise money to help animals because they’re important to our lives,� said Aiden. The well-spoken young man has several pets that he actually does care for. He has a dog, a cat, a parrot and a turtle. “He’s very good with the animals and helps feed and clean them, I think he gets on better with animals than he does with other kids!� said Anthony Henderson, Aiden’s dad. The fundraising party is being hosted at Lower Reach Park on May 31 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will include live music, face painting, a silent auction, food and games.

Smiths Falls airport hosts annual interprovincial air tour participated in previous Tours and 30 of those have been on at least four of the previous Tours. More than 60 of the participants are pilots (including nine female pilots). Four U.S. registered aircraft are signed up for 2014 Interprovincial Air Tour. Approximately half of the registered airplanes are Cessnas, and the other half is made up a variety of airplanes, including Bonanzas, Mooneys, Pipers, and homebuilt aircraft. On Thursday, May 29, the participants will depart from more than 40 airports all over Ontario and Quebec, as well as from Michigan, and will converge on Sherbrooke in time for lunch and registration.

News – It was more than two years ago that Ron Bernicky learned a disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis was robbing him of his ability to breathe. That was when his tightly knit community in Smiths Falls came together and used his love of golf as a venue to fundraise for his move to Toronto for treatment. On April 27, he underwent a double lung transplant and today, Bernicky said he “feels like a million bucks.” “The doctors said I broke recovery records,” he said during a telephone interview on May 23, from his temporary condominium in Toronto with his wife Linda alongside - just hours out from having the last of his surgery staples removed. Only a day after the surgery, Bernicky walked without a breathing tube. Two weeks later after the “lungaversary” of his hospital discharge on May 7, he had to re-enter physiotherapy – a quick turnaround. “Everything has been overwhelming in this emotional rollercoaster,” he said. “All of what I’ve been through since the beginning, I’ve had nothing but family, friends, co-workers – my community – keeping me positive.” While he misses Smiths Falls, he has found the provincial capital to be quite welcoming. “Toronto has the best transplant centre in the world, their care is the utmost and I’m grateful to have met the many wonderful people who helped me learn how to be strong before and after the surgery.” Ron extended his gratitude to all who have shared in his perseverance: Linda and their two sons for staying just as strong; the “new girl” in his life – his donor; Héléne Campbell and her #BeAnOrganDonor Twitter campaign; and of course, the community in Smiths Falls he plans to return to in time for the annual Gerry Lowe Memorial Golf Day on June 20.

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO - May 28, 1914 Opening of New Wing The new wing of St. Francis General hospital will be formally opened this afternoon. His Grace Archbishop Spratt, arrived yesterday and was a guest at the Presbytery until noon today, when he returned to Kingston. He came to conduct the ceremony of blessing the new chapel in the addition of the hospital, which was done this morning. The priests present were Rev. Fathers Kelly, Hogan, McDonagh, Meagher, Hanley, Carey, Keetley, Halligan and Rheaume. In connection with the opening of the new wing this afternoon tea will be served by the ladies of he auxiliary from 3 to 6 and tonight there will be a programme with music and addresses. The band will also be there. 50 YEARS AGO - May 28, 1964 Retail Sales Among Top Within Area Smiths Falls has a retail market worth $14,869,000, according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics placing this town third in the top twelve Eastern Ontario communities. The figures presented are for 1961 and local merchants reported last year’s business as one of the best in many years, which would considerably improve the 1961 showing.

Remember When

25 YEARS AGO - May 31, 1989 After 40 years in city work, Murray Metcalf has decided he’d rather be sailing. Mr. Metcalf has served as clerk/administrator of Smiths Falls since July 1, 1978, and his expertise will be sorely missed. And, Mr. Metcalf will miss day to day challenges which have kept him interested for so many years. “Some of it is routine,” he said, but added, “You never know from one day to the next what is going to be the matter of the day.” Originally from Peterborough, Mr. Metcalf began his career there after earning an applied science and civil engineering degree from the University of Toronto. Mr. Metcalf started with the city of Peterborough when he graduated in 1949. 10 YEARS AGO - May 26, 2014 As its offices were being emptied and a storied computer refurbishing program picked over for its useful parts, Skills and Initiatives made one last plea yesterday (Tuesday, May 25) to keep Central PARC (Public Action & Resource Centre) operating. Appearing before the town’s committee of the whole meeting, backers of the Central PARC, led by board member John Baranyi, asked councillors to bankroll the program until expected grants arrive later this summer, as well as sponsor Central PARC’s insurance coverage and operating expenses. “On our own, our insurance costs about $4,000 annually but it wouldn’t cost any extra under their policy. We’re not asking for any extra money, just hopefully to keep the handyman gang operating. We’re hoping the town can bankroll us until the grant from National Crime Prevention Program comes in and then the town will be paid back,” Skills and Initiatives (the umbrella organization that sponsors Central) executive director David Pringle said.

You could have shoveled my jaw off the floor Opinion – As an immigrant who came here alone, I always look forward to having any family member visit. So when a cousin of mine who arrived in Canada about 12 years after I did, called to say he was driving up from Toronto for the weekend, I was thrilled. My cousin, who grew up a couple of streets away in a suburb of Cairo, was one of my favourite play-mates when we were children, he’s just two years younger than myself. But I hadn’t seen him in close to 30 years. So when he arrived in Merrickville, I couldn’t wait to introduce him to my best friend, my future mother-in-law and my fiancé. Then he dropped the bomb. As he entered the house and I started the introductions, he refused to shake hands with my best friend and my mother-in-law on the grounds that he didn’t shake hands with women. He had the temerity to stand in the middle of my home and tell me and my guests that as a Muslim man he did not shake hands with the opposite sex. I’m fairly sure you could have shoveled my jaw off the floor and cooked a roast off my face. His statement had just intimated that he was at best an ultra conservative, at worst a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Islam prohibits non-essential touching and physical contact with a person of the opposite gender as a show of modesty, humility and chastity. How you choose to interpret non-essential is the prob-

HOWAIDA SOROUR Heddy’s Ramble lem. Two years later he invited himself, in spite of considerable hedging on my part (I’ll get to that in a minute). This time he spent way too much time trying to pry information about my finances and my precise plans to visit my mother in Egypt. His extremely unhealthy interest in my travel plans made me very, very nervous. He was about as subtle as a clown. By now I was convinced he is Brotherhood. It is in my opinion dangerous to ignore the Brotherhood in Canada. They are not just religious extremists they are political, religious fanatics - a very dangerous mix and one that Canada can’t afford to ignore. “The Canadian government should consider investigating the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood, which has entrenched itself in North America and represents a greater systemic threat than al-Qaeda, according to a newly released report on the group,” said the CBC this morning. I agree. Let’s look at this group’s origins. The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 by Has-

san Al-Banna, an Egyptian school teacher, who preached bringing traditional Islamic law into all aspects of life, from everyday problems to the organization of the government. He believed that Islam had lost its social dominance to what he considered corrupt Western influences and particularly British Imperial Rule. Given the way British Imperial Rule was implemented, it’s hardly surprising that it spawned so much push back but you can also see how that push back could turn uglier than imperialism. So when the notion of applying Sharia Law here in Canada came up a few years ago, I was personally horrified that it was even a debate. Let’s be realistic. It is difficult enough to apply one law in any society, but to try accommodating a dozen different laws is social/cultural suicide. I’m all for the notion of cultural accommodation, it is what makes Canada so unique, diverse and welcoming, but there have to be limits. Immigrants come to Canada for many different reasons but ultimately they stay for the opportunities and the freedoms. Those very opportunities and freedoms are under serious threat if there are no limits placed on certain cultural mores. Let us be very clear, immigrants choose to come to Canada, they could immigrate to another country with cultural mores that are closer to their own, if that was See COLUMN page SF9

the most important thing to them (OK, there aren’t a lot of choices, but there are a few). So as Canada Day approaches let’s live by these words... The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. As a Middle Eastern woman immigrating to North America, I could have chosen to cling to some of the cultural mores of my home. There are still some things I have difficulty with - for example the last time my cousin called to say he was coming this way and would stop by, I tried discouraging him (the hedging thing!) but culturally I could not outright say no he was not welcome. Note I don’t answer the phone when he calls instead of just picking up the phone and telling him to get lost. Deeply ingrained somewhere is the notion that as my mother’s diseased

One of them is the whole looking people in the eye when communicating - where I come from looking someone in the eye is immodest, disrespectful and even arrogant - it took me a long time to work past that and I’m still working on it because even after 28 years I slip. If I’m emotionally invested in a situation, guess what... I drop my eyes or look over people’s shoulders... It’s amazing how deeply ingrained certain cultural habits can be. That’s a benign one that hurts nobody but myself. Others however are far more dangerous because they speak to thought processes that in the 21st Century must be nipped in the bud. before it has a chance to spread further.

DEAR EDITOR: And so our journey with SMA continues and we write another chapter of our story this May 3 with our third attempt at raising both money and awareness for Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Families of SMA Canada. We are the extended family, mother, father, grandmothers, grandfather, great grandmother, aunts, uncles and friends of Mason Stewart who was diagnosed with SMA Type 3 just before his second birthday in the spring of 2011. In 2011, we organized our first fundraiser, still feeling shell shocked by the diagnosis and not fully understanding what a diagnosis of SMA meant and how much we would still have to learn, we are a family full of “doers” and hosting a fundraiser seemed to be something that we could have control over, and could in some way be helpful. Our first fundraiser, in the fall of 2011 raised $21,213.00, and the second in 2012 raised $15,301.00. Last year saw Mason’s parents Jenna and Eddie get married and Mason welcomed a new cousin, Ava, which put our fundraising efforts on hold for a year. But we’re back this year with a bang. We have a new title, Cure SMA at Little Rock Farm. Little Rock Farm is the family horse farm located between Perth and Smiths Falls which Mason’s grandmother, Amy Himmelman owns and operates and is where Mason and his family live. This is a pretty special place where kids and their families “from all walks of life” come and will spend the day being on a farm surrounded by horses, and it is in this spirit of community and friendship that our fundraiser this year has grown from. This year saw the emergence of a fundraising committee, with more people who were so passionate and just wanted to in some way be involved. We met on Wednesday evenings around the kitchen table at the farm and as these meetings went on we saw the emergence of a new

News – From Canada’s hidden slavery past, to hockey glory, and the Perth Police Service, which only recently became history, the annual Perth Regional Heritage Fair brought youngsters from across the county together to celebrate, and investigate, our history. One such amateur historian was Jessica Jasiak, a Grade 7 student at St. Francis de Sales Catholic School in Smiths Falls, who uncovered the hidden history of slavery in Quebec. While Canada has long trumpeted its involvement in the Underground Railroad, which ferried escaping slaves from the southern United States to Canada in the 19th century, Jasiak charged that “generations of historians have been trying to bury this dark piece of our history (slavery). It is something that we are not proud of.” Her teacher, herself a Quebecker, had originally suggested a Quebec-based topic to her student, little knowing what she would come back with as a topic. “She wasn’t overly fond of me doing this because she is from Quebec,” she said. “We had some terminology problems with what to call them,” she said. The term African-American was fraught since some of them were neither from Africa, nor from America. They agreed to settle on the term ‘black.’ She based most of her research on a controversial book, ‘Canada’s Forgotten Slaves: Two Hundred Years of Bondage’ by Marcel Trudel, translated by George Tombs. When she presented the project at her school, “a lot of the teachers were not aware of this.” Even her teacher said she was glad to see her taking to the subject with such “passion.” “All in all, I think she did enjoy this project,” she added of her teacher. One of the more chilling aspects of the story for Jasiak came from the era of French explorers Samuel de Champlain and Jacques Cartier. Their voyages made them famous, but little known about Champlain’s journey back to Europe was that he brought three young native girls to France with him: Faith, Hope and Charity (their Europeangiven names). While Champlain said he brought the girls back to teach them French, he also treated them as slaves – and one of the girls failed to be returned to North America, her fate now lost to the mists of time.

It was lovely meeting her.” She found out that Fraser was her fourth cousin, twice removed, and she and her mother were able to drive to Ottawa to meet her in person this past February. “We are one of the largest families in Canada,” said Spencer proudly. “It was nice to know that a lot of famous Canadians are related to me.”

The Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender, who played part of his junior career with the Smiths Falls Bears, was born in Perth on Dec. 12, 1950, and lived at 73 North St. Not only did he win the Stanley Cup four times, and was a founding player with the Islanders, he is also the first goalie credited with a goal in the NHL. Dowdall was fortunate that his grandmother was friends with Smith’s brother and sister, Jack and Linda, the latter of which loaned him one of Smith’s old hockey masks and even a game jersey he wore on ice. When asked if that other New York hockey team, the Rangers, would beat the Montreal Canadiens to make it to the Stanley Cup final this year, he predicted victory for the Big Apple – because of the sidelining of Habs’ goalie Carey Price. There were 14 area schools participating in the event, and two students were chosen from amongst the ranks to go onwards to the provincial heritage fair competition at the University of Toronto from June 14 to 15.

Dad mortgaged farm to buy Windsor-built 1939 Ford Lifestyle – An email arrived from Jim Houston of Almonte, Ontario: “In 1948 my father had to put a mortgage of $800 on our farm between Erin and Alton, Ontario, in Peel County, to buy a black 1939 Ford 2-door sedan. They certainly held their value!” If that 1939 Ford was a Standard coach, it had a Windsor factory list price of $882 when new. Nine years later, at $800, it had lost only $82 in almost a decade. During World War II, automobile production was halted for over three years. When it resumed in late 1945, a tremendous demand for new cars had built up. If you wanted a new car, your local dealer usually put your name on a long waiting list. And with the shortage of new cars, used cars commanded premium prices, as shown by the $800 paid by Jim Houston’s father for his 1939 Ford in 1948. Jim continues: “I got my driver’s licence on that car in May of 1951. I got my beginner’s permit, as it was called back then, and my regular licence, on the same day! One morning after I had been out with the car the night before, Dad said to me: ‘Don’t drive the car too fast because a tie rod fell off the other day on the mail route, and I tied it back on with a leather shoelace.’” The late Dave Lawson of Ancaster, Ont., owned the 1939 Ford Standard coach pictured here at an indoor-outdoor swap meet in Ancaster. With its red finish, cream wheels, and wide whitewalls, I could

not resist taking its picture. This was the last year Ford had windshield wipers mounted in the roof. They were there for a good reason. The windshield can be cranked out from the bottom for an early form of air conditioning. The roof-mounted radio aerial with hand crank inside for turning it up or down was a popular feature on Ford and Mercury cars up to 1948. The grille closely resembles the Deluxe grille of 1938, and the headlights on this car represent the last year before sealed beam headlights were adopted industry-wide in 1940. The floor-shift lever was in its final year, moving up to the steering column the next year. New for 1939 were hydraulic brakes, several years after other car companies had adopted them. Today, all body styles of the 1939 Ford are highly collectible today, whether as an original restored example or as a street rod. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will reSubmitted photo ceive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DE- This photo shows a 1939 Ford Standard coach at a are legal in Ontario under the YOM (Year of ManuTECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES: swap meet in Ancaster, Ont. Note the black-and- facture) legislation. All bodies of the 1939 Ford are 1925 to 1965.” white 1939 Ontario licence plate (51F85). These highly collectible today.

The Great Waterway, building foundation for success in regional tourism News – The Ontario provincial government’s investment in The Great Waterway of South Eastern Ontario is helping the region become one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the province. The Great Waterway, or Regional Tourist Organization 9, is effectively

using the Ministry of Tourism’s investment to promote and support the many unique attractions along Lake Ontario, from Prince Edward County in the west, up the Rideau Canal to the north, and to the Quebec border in the east. In the four years since its creation, The Great Waterway has helped the re-

gion attract more visitors, generate more economic activity, and create more jobs by boosting regional efforts to promote local tourism. Among The Great Waterway’s many accomplishments are: • A partnership fund that approved and executed 14 applications in 2013-

2014, with a total economic impact of $465,000. More than a dozen new applications have been received for the April 1 to April 30 intake period with $219,000 of matching funds available. • First-time partnerships with six cruise operators and eight theatres in the region for successful joint marketing

Sullivan Kevin Lee Sullivan Kevin passed away peacefully in his sleep at his residence, St. Vincent’s Hospital, Ottawa, on Tuesday, May 20, 2014. Kevin Lee Sullivan, in his 43rd year. Kevin was the birth son of Patricia Cox and the late James Sullivan. He was also a loved son of Kate Dee and Mike Reynolds, formerly of Lanark. Kevin was a loving brother and friend to Todd and Janis Sullivan, of Hopetown, and Brent Sullivan, of Toronto, and a very special uncle to his nephew, Noah. Kevin attended high school at PDCI, where he excelled as a student and an athlete. He was a passionate and determined runner and hence was very successful. Kevin participated in various marathons and races throughout North America. He will always be remembered for completing the Boston Marathon just before his 18th birthday. A small fib regarding his age on the application, secured his spot for the 1990 Boston Marathon. Kevin continued his education at Laurentian University, in Sudbury where he majored in Physical Education with a minor in Outdoor Adventure Leadership. Kevin then joined his brother Todd in the mountains of McBride, British Columbia, where he worked hard and played harder. His job was very physically demanding and he started having issues with motor abilities and neurological symptoms started to surface. It became apparent that a career shift would have to be made. Never afraid of a challenge, Kevin decided to attend Nipissing Teacher’s College in North Bay. Just shy of graduation, Kevin was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, and sadly was unable to complete his studies. Above all else, Kevin’s greatest legacy is being a wonderful person, son, brother, and friend to all. He will be missed and always remembered in our hearts. Kevin’s family would like to thank the staff of St. Vincent’s Hospital for their compassionate care of Kevin during the past seven years. Kevin would encourage everyone to run the Marathon of Life, to the fullest! In his memory, his closest family would ask those who would like to pay tribute to Kevin’s life, to get out and enjoy a physical challenge and cherish the time with family and friends. In lieu of a formal service, the family is having a tribute walk, bike, or run, on Saturday, May 31st, at 9:15 am. All are encouraged to meet behind the bandstand at Stewart Park, Perth. Kevin’s funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care of the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, Perth 613.267.3082.

Alderson Mabel Alderson

On May 21st, 2014, in her 83rd year, our precious Mom, Grannie, GG, and friend died. A woman who didn’t know how to like a person, she only knew how to love. A woman who, despite her many physical disabilities, chose not to complain. A woman who made the best of every day of her life, and lived life to the fullest. She was kind and gentle. She genuinely cared about every person she met and loved them as her own. These qualities came naturally to her. Her eyes sparkled and her smile was radiant. To be held in her arms, or to hold her hand was to know you’d been touched by an angel. She knew what was important in life, and she lived her life well. She was an extraordinary woman. She continues to be our hero and role-model in life. She was a gift to us all. We miss her. Mabel was the loving wife of Clare, and mother of Craig (Glenda) and Dianne (Mark) Czerwinski. Cherished grandmother of Cori (Mike) Dodds, Kristen Alderson (Tom Knox) and Joselynn Alderson, and great grandmother to Arianna, Colin and Cameron. She will be missed by all her family in Western Canada. There aren’t words to appropriately thank those who helped with Mabel’s care over the years, first at home and then Lanark Lodge. You cared for her well and you opened your hearts to her; you became part of our extended family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. A “Celebration of Mabel’s Life” will be held at Lanark Lodge, Perth on Monday, June 2nd, 2014. Service at 2:00 p.m. followed by refreshments. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Lanark Lodge and direct the funds to the “Extend the Pathway to the River Fund”, Lanark Lodge, 115 Christie Lake Road, Perth, ON K7H 3C6.

TriCounty Addiction Services Annual General Meeting Date: Monday, 16 June 2014 Location: The Good Life Bistro Address: 5 Main St. East, Smiths Falls (between Beckwith and Market) Presentation: 7:00 p.m.

“Overcoming Stigma” Meeting: 8:00 p.m.

TriCounty Addiction Services seeks Volunteer Board Members TriCAS provides health promotion and addictions counselling to families and individuals in Lanark, Leeds-Grenville who are challenged by alcohol or other drug misuse, problem gambling, or concurrent mental health and addiction issues. We would be especially pleased to invite you to our Annual General Meeting if you share an interest in our work and would like to volunteer to become a Member of our Board of Directors. We are a non-profit corporation which is funded by the South East Local Health Integration Network, and we also report to the Champlain LHIN. Our Directors are responsible for setting policies that guide our services and for ensuring our accountability in our funding agreements with the SE LHIN. Directors meet monthly throughout the year and may also participate on committees which report to the Board. Making addiction services available to our communities is as important as providing mental health and medical care. The work of the Board and its committees addresses the best ways to do that, how to ensure the quality and effectiveness of our services, options to integrate services with other agencies, and the most advantageous deployment of our resources in a time of provincial fiscal restraint. If you live or work in Lanark, Leeds-Grenville and would like to contribute your time, expertise, or life experience to our work, please contact Helen Latimer-Hanah, Administrative Secretary, by e-mail at helen@tricas.on.ca or by phone at 613-283-7723 Ext 311. For more information about our agency, please visit our website: www.tricas.on.ca, or drop into our offices and pick up a service pamphlet (Smiths Falls – 88 Cornelia Street West; Brockville – 1805 Oxford Avenue). If you are unable to attend our AGM but would like to meet at another time, we can then discuss with you the next steps to take in order to complete an application to become a Member of our Board.

Learn about ticks, Lyme disease during June 4 RLHS meeting By YVONNE HELWIG

Community – What do you know about ticks? Are you and your family ardent campers and hikers who take the nightly tick search and removal in stride? Or does the very thought of these sometimes tiny and definitely sneaky mammalian parasites and potential carriers of Lyme disease send you into convulsions of hysteria? Somewhere in between? Wherever you fall in the spectrum, you might consider coming out to the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society’s (RLHS) next meeting, Wednesday, June 4 at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall. Dr. Elaine Riddick, a local doctor in Westport, will be discussing her concerns about the growth of the tick population in this area and the serious health consequences to humans. Dr. Riddick believes that gardening, and other outdoor activities, should be safe and is convinced that there is much that can be done to prevent the spread of Lyme disease in our area. Dr. Elaine Riddick has had a family practice in Westport since 2009. Educated at Liverpool University Medical School, Dr. Riddick emigrated to Canada in 1982 to complete her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Ottawa University. Ten years and 5,000 babies later, the desire for a more regular work AUCTIONS

schedule, as well as an increased understanding of the adverse effects of shift work and sleep deprivation on health, led her into general practice. Dr. Riddick descends from generations of avid gardeners. During World War II, her grandparents and parents survived rationing by converting every inch of the garden to grow extra food. aDr. Riddick believes that the ability to grow one’s own food is an essential life skill that should be taught to every child in school. With a doctor’s heavy schedule, she has become very interested in gardening techniques that result in less watering, less weeding and, hopefully, less work. Admission to RLHS meetings is free to members and $5 for nonmembers. You can become a member for only $15, and enjoy another five evenings of interesting presentations and discussion on horticultural topics. Free refreshments are also provided at each meeting. Check out the 2014 roster of speakers on bookmarks available at branches of the Rideau Lakes Public Library, or visit the society’s website for past newsletters and details: https://sites.google.com/site/ rideaulakeshorticultural/.

time and separate, increasing injury risk in a crash. GM issued a stopsale notice to its dealers for those vehicles that still may be on lots and unsold. It’s reported they stated that an inspection and repair process for the crossovers “is currently being developed. Parts needed to complete this repair are not available at this time.â€? • 1.1 million 2004-2008 Chevy Malibus and 20052008 Pontiac G6s have a shift cable in the fourspeed automatic transmission that can wear out, “resulting in mismatches of the gear position indicated by the shift lever.â€? • 1,402 2015 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV models (which just went on sale last month), may have a problem with the passenger side airbag that could result in partial deployment in a crash. GM said it has told dealers not to deliver 2015 Escalades and has notified 224 customers via overnight letters, calls and e-mails, instructing them to not let anyone ride in the passenger seat until the vehicle has been serviced. GM said it is unaware of related crashes or injuries. • 58 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD full-sized pickups may have a fire risk. GM said that retention clips attaching the truck’s generator fuse block to the vehicle body can become loose and potentially lead to a fire. GM said it is unaware of related crashes or injuries. If you have one of these vehicles, contact your selling or servicing dealership and check to see if yours is involved. In a recent and unrelated news conference, Fiat Chrysler Automobile chief executive officer Sergio Marchionne wondered aloud whether vehicle prices may have to increase because of this developing trend to large and frequent recalls. While he doubted that vehicle quality had suddenly diminished he did offer his opinion about a ‘change in attitude’ on the part of stakeholders that was driving the increase in numbers.

Lifestyle – A recent report out of the Arizona State University on automotive windshield washer fluid may have safety implications in southern climes, but hopefully for us on the north side of the 49th Parallel things should be much safer. In one school district in Arizona this spring, researchers were able to isolate a form of bacteria responsible for Legionnaire’s disease in windshield washer fluid samples from 75 per cent of the school bus fleet tested. The tests were performed in 2012. While all kinds of things grow in, on, and under vehicles, this washer fluid contamination presents a unique problem. “Washer fluid spray can release potentially dangerous numbers of these bacteria into the air. These results suggest that automobiles may serve as a source of transmission for Legionella infections,â€? says Otto Schwake, a doctoral student at Arizona State University, who presented the research this month at the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. He added that the project was initiated after a series of studies found motor vehicle use to be associated with an increased risk for the disease. A study performed in the UK attributed 20 per cent of their Legionnaire disease caseload to washer fluid. In Canada, washer fluid must have an anti-freeze agent to keep it flowing in winter months and most suppliers use either methyl alcohol or methyl hydrate, both of which are deadly to most bacteria in sufficient concentrations. General Motors recalls seem to be still in the news with announcements last week covering another large group. With these additions GM is approaching the unenviable record of recalling as many vehicles in a single year as are sold in the US by all automakers combined. Since the beginning of this year they have issued 29 separate recalls involving 13.6 million US vehicles. • 1.3 million 20092014 Buick Enclaves, Chevrolet Traverses and GMC Acadias as well as 2009-2010 Saturn Outlooks are being recalled because front seat-belt cables can wear out over

Community - Above, three local schools came together on Monday, May 26 to raise awareness of depression and mental health. “It’s an online awareness program called defeatdepression.ca and all the kids registered online and they’ve all donated money which will go to Open Doors,” said Brent Bovaird, principal at St. Luke Catholic High School. Shown here Grade 7 to 12 students from St. Luke, Kindergarten to Grade 3 students from St. James the Greater and Grade 4 to 8 students from St. Francis de Sales all took part in a campaign to reduce stigma and raise awareness around building positive mental health.

Duncan J. Schoular Golf Tournament on June 21

Sports – The fourth annual Duncan J. Schoular Public School Golf Tournament will be held June 21 at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. Organizers hope to raise at least $3,000 to help cover the cost of playground equipment, iPads and other specialized computer equipment to enhance students’ daily experience at school. “While we have a quality school, the tournament helps provide the little extras that make our students’ educational journey that much better,” said principal Mark Williams. Williams has extended an invitation to community members as well as past employees at a school that has meant so much to so many in the community. “It’s a chance for people to come out, have fun and give back to our school.” Registration at the tournament costs just $100 and includes 18 holes of golf, a power cart, quarter-chicken buffet dinner, prizes, contests, a 50/50 draw, and a live and silent auction. Just dinner costs $30.

He did have dependents, their names being; Garfield Russell Grant Donnelly (born in 1939), Phyllis Elizabeth Jean Donnelly (born in 1940), and Robert Carl Wilbert Donnelly (born in

1943). William only completed Grade 7 of schooling. He was employed at the Canadian Pacific Railway in Smiths Falls as a Section man until the time he enlisted on December 20th, 1943. He lived in Smiths Falls, Ontario prior to enlistment. His religion was Anglican. He went into the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada as a Gunner, but was demoted to private shortly after enlisting. William died of his wounds on April 24th, 1945 while fighting for the freedom of his country, resulting in the ultimate sacrifice. William was taken on strength by the 3A-DD as a Gunner on December 20th, 1943. He was then struck off strength for training in Cornwall, Ontario. For all purposes, he was then moved to Kingston on January 1st, 1944. Then he was transferred to Ipperwash, Ontario on February 25th, 1944. Once again he was transferred to Cornwall. He then left Cornwall and went to Woodstock, Ontario to attend a Driver I/C Course on May 5th, 1944. On June 16th, 1944, he was officially reporting for a Canadian Driving and Maintenance School and was ranked as a Private. He got a pay raise from $1.40 per day to $1.50 per day. He was entitled to wear the Mars Badge on June 20th, 1944. In August, 1944, he took a Qualification Drivers I/C class. William was granted embarkation leave for 14 days, but this was cancelled due to an error. He was a qualified mechanical group “C”, which gave him a pay raise. On August 13th, 1944, William was granted embarkation leave for

Thursday twilight results

Smiths Falls Little League returns after 15 years

Sports – The May 22 edition of the Thursday Night Men’s Twilight at Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club was served with a smile by Rob Roy’s Pub. The scramble and pink ball format offered an added challenge for groups other than trying to shoot a low score: to rotate the rosy ball through the group and keep it in play so its score would count. It’s not as easy as it sounds. Bob Mulrooney, Dennis Koluk, Craig MacDonald, and Mike Ross posted the low overall front nine score, but it was the Griffith group that kept the pink ball alive and recorded the fewest strokes in doing so. On the back side, George Thomson, Doug Hart, Steve Hull, Rob Thomson, and Hugh Gillespie were scramble winners, while the Dopson group produced the best pink ball total. The Roosteraunt closestto-the-pin prizes went to Greg

Sports – Little League in town has received a shot in the arm from a group of parents who wanted to see its revitalization after a 15year hiatus. Jasmin Peladeau has spearheaded the project. “We’ve been going to Perth to play little league, and we as a group of parents got together and said ‘Why can’t we make it happen in Smiths Falls?’,” he said. The volunteers had enough interest to form two teams, which will play an interlocking house league schedule with three teams from Perth. Their season will kick off June 3, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Friendship Park in Lower Reach Park. They play Tuesday and Thursday evenings. “No one has played on this diamond for 15 years,” Peladeau said. “It’s nice for the kids to be able to get together and play some ball that’s not all that competitive.” That’s not to say there won’t be competition as there will be an allstar team selected from these five house league teams comprised of nine to 12-year-olds, to take part in regional and provincial championships as well as other tournaments. If you are interested in playing ball organizers are looking for a few more players aged 10-12,. The league plays every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 to 7:30 p.m. For more information call Jasmin Peladeau 613-283-5605.

“Champ” Hull and Hugh Gillespie for their tee shots on holes 3 and 18. Adam Summers pounded the Town and Country Chrysler longest drive on hole number 4. As long as Adam’s shot was, John Tobin outdid him by hitting the long drive on hole number 13 all the way from the bar. Now that’s long! Rod Cooke was the lucky 50/50 prize winner.

EOSSAA RedHawks results

Sports - SFDCI RedHawks coach Shelley Coady is pictured with Kira Sels at the EOSSAA track meet in Brockville last week, where Sels placed 11th in her 1500m midget event. She was also 11th in the 400m event and 10th in the 800m. In last week’s newspaper, we inadvertently copied the wrong placement for Maggie Knott, who won both of her running events. She placed 10th in the 400m junior running event at EOSSAA. Alicia Buchanan was seventh in the junior women’s high jump and 15th in long jump. Petra Patasi was seventh in the senior women’s 200m. In the senior women’s shotput, Dani FergusonJame took third place and fourth in javelin, just ahead of teammate Larissa Robbins who was fifth. Danie Oosthuizen was 12th in the junior men’s 800m.

Sports - It’s that time of year again. The Smiths Falls Renegades will host their annual football tournament on May 31 at Lower Reach Park. Last year we had between 700-1,000 people out on a beautiful Saturday. Organizers are hoping for more of the same this year

“Anticipation is building for our annual Football in the Falls showcase day,” says Renegades president Mark Pankow. “This is the one day of the season when all of our teams will play a regular season game at home in front of family and friends. We like to call it Renegade nation!”

A lot of work goes into creating a special atmosphere for this day. Apart from the exciting play on the field, we will also have our tailgate barbecue working overtime as well as draws and silent auction. Kickoff begins at 9 a.m. with the tyke Renegades beginning

the exciting day of gridiron action. Three more games will follow with the final kickoff of the day taking place at 2:15 as our high school aged Bantam Renegades, take to the field. Smiths Falls Minor Football is pleased to showcase our players from the Smiths Falls and Perth area.

Brea Lawrenson a finalist in Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase Carleton Place singer also headlining Calabogie Country Music Festival By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

Arts – Lessons learned over the years and staying true to herself has aided Carleton Place’s Brea Lawrenson on her path to musical greatness. Most recently on May 6, Lawrenson continued her ascension in the country music world when she was named a top eight finalist in the Boots and Hearts Music Festival Emerging Artist Showcase. Voting took place between May 6 to 27 (as of press time results weren’t made public, but she was sitting in fourth), for a chance to perform on the Boots and Hearts main stage Sunday, Aug. 3, opening for American country music singer and Grammy Award nominee Hunter Hayes, as well as earning a single release with Big Machine Label Group Canada. The festival runs from July 31 to Aug. 3 at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville. “I’m so excited and can’t wait. I’ve been thinking a lot about it,” she said during a recent interview with the Canadian Gazette. “…It’s huge because Boots and Hearts is probably one of the biggest premier country music festivals in Canada with big acts from Nashville and the opportunity to open up the stage to Canadian talent and emerging artists is really helpful. These festivals are what helps keep music going.” Last week, she was also announced as a headliner for the Calabogie Country Music Festival June 27 to 29 at Calabogie Peaks. Lawrenson will perform at 6 p.m. on June 28. It’s her second year at the festival after opening for Canadian Country Music Award winner Bobby Wills. Lawrenson had first heard about the showcase competition last year when fellow Carleton Place singer, Jordan McIntosh, (who she calls “inspiring”) was a finalist in the contest. She was humbled when she received the news.

Carleton Place musician Brea Lawrenson has been will be announced this week with the chance to open named a top eight finalist in the Boots and Hearts for American country music singer Hunter Hayes on Music Festival Emerging Artist Showcase. The winner the Boots and Hearts main stage Aug. 3. “I just went on their site and sent in submissions and I got an email a few months after that (about being a finalist) and was all excited,” she remarked, adding that a blogger friend helped her jazz up her online portfolio, which she believes helped. “…I think his hard work really got their attention.” Even if she doesn’t grab the top prize, Lawrenson will still get her chance in the spotlight at Boots and Hearts on Sunday, Aug. 2.

She’s performed Lawrenson started off in the pop across Canada, the United States and scene, but feedback from record comthe United Kingdom. She admitted she’s pany representatives was often that there grown over the years and learned a lot was “too much twang in my voice or I about the industry, which isn’t always a didn’t have enough edge.”

“When I started writing songs with my guitar, (country music) came out naturally,” she said. “I’m very country and that’s just the way I am. I’m from a small town and I love to sing country music.” “I’ve learned a lot. I’m happy everything happened the way it did. I was so young and didn’t know how hard it (music industry) was,” Lawrenson continued. “I was really lucky to be able to grow up with the support system I have.” At 20, she took a hard look at her career and where she wanted to be. She has released three albums so far in her career and singles ‘Honey’, ‘With You Whiskey’, and ‘Bottom of the Bottle’, launched in March and currently #60 on the Canadian country music charts, have all received plenty of airplay on Country101. “At 27, I’m finally getting my career off the ground. I’m really thankful for all the experience I’ve learned and I’ve taken it and it’s helped me stay afloat and be successful,” she said. A close partnership with the Carleton Place Sister City Committee, which is twinned with Franklin, Tennessee, afforded Lawrenson the chance to cut her musical teeth in Franklin and Nashville. “I now have some great connections in Franklin, which is right outside of Nashville, and it’s been amazing,” she said. “…Writing and learning how to write good country songs and meeting those people wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t gone to Nashville.” Lawrenson said her “skin is also thicker” from all of her experiences. “I’ve learned to let things roll off your shoulders. I think about why I decided to start singing and I do it because it makes me happy. It’s really that simple,” she noted.

Arts – Summer is starting to roll along for Perth’s Full Circle Theatre, as not one but two exciting productions come into the groundlevel, barrier-free theatre in the month of June. BarnDoor Productions (BDP) is putting together their 94th show, the classic mystery-thriller Gaslight for mid-June, but before that, Full Circle Theatre (FCT) will host a special, one-weekend only visit from Ottawa’s newest professional theatre. Vacant House Theatre began performing only last month and has had a very successful run in Ottawa with their production of the classic Canadian comedy The Anger In Ernest And Ernestine. It’s a four-hand play that actually only has two characters: two performers play Ernest and Ernestine while two play The Anger in Ernest and Ernestine. It’s a very fun, funny show about a young married couple who move into a basement apartment and have to come to grips with living with another human being. One quarter of the cast is actually from Perth, as it features the talents of Perth native Alexis Scott, who has previously appeared with BarnDoor Productions in The Chimes and Dark of the Moon. It’s also the first time that Vacant House Theatre has performed the show in a real theatre – their Ottawa venue was actually a basement! The show will come to Perth for three performances only, June 6, 7 at 8 p.m. and June 8 at 2 p.m. Hard on that, BDP’s summer season gets rolling as Patrick Hamilton’s Gaslight takes over the stage on June 13 for seven performances over two weekends. Gaslight is considered one of the classic thrillers of all time. It was a hit in London and on Broadway (re-titled to Angel Street to avoid conflict with another production) and then made into two movies, the more famous starring Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer and Joseph Cotten. On the stage, it made a star of Vincent Price; on the screen, it brought a 19-year-old Angela Lansbury to prominence. Since then, it has remained in production around the world. Set in the era of gas lighting, before the harsh glare of electricity, the play is the story of a woman who may or may not be losing her mind. Her husband’s patience with her erratic behaviour is growing thin; she, herself, is beginning to believe that she may be losing control. The final straw is the appearance, one evening, of a strange man with an incredible story to tell. And, it all revolves around the Gaslight. The production combines the talents of a cast who have hundreds of performances and scores of productions behind them with a thrilling, gripping mystery story and the visual effects of a gas-lit Victorian parlour in 1870s London. It is truly

Are you in search of some ideas for a wedding that won’t leave you and your new spouse in debt for the next ten years? Here are a few tips on how to organize a delightful wedding that will not break your newly joined budgets. First of all, it’s not necessarily a thrifty move to limit the number of guests you invite. In theory, inviting someone to a wedding doesn’t cost you anything; by giving you a gift (usually money), the guest is likely giving you more than the cost of his or her meal. Rather than opting for traditional invitations, you could choose the electronic option. Your photographer or a graphic design service could put together a pretty digital invitation that would save you mailing costs and delays. Bear in mind that quality can be cost-effective where guest favours and decorations are concerned. If you order some beautiful centrepieces from your favourite florist, they can decorate the reception hall all by themselves, especially if the room you’ve rented is already attractive. What’s more, your decorative elements or centrepieces can also be used as guest favours. If there is only one on each table, you could hold a draw for them, or they could be given away as prizes for entertaining games organized by the master of ceremonies or the DJ. When planning how to integrate alcohol into your reception, moderation PHOTO: stockbyte / THINKSTOCK is the key word.

If you’re part of a future bride’s inner circle of friends you might be expected to offer some tangible support during the wedding preparations. Of course, if you’ve been asked to be the maid of honour, the following list will also be of interest to you. The guiding principle in assisting the bride-to-be is to put yourself in her position and keep in mind her main concerns. Staying in an empathetic frame of mind will let you give her some good advice when she needs your opinion. She will likely be preoccupied by the following things: 1. THE GOWN The dress has to be absolutely p-e-rf-e-c-t. For some brides, the gown is something they’ve dreamed about since childhood. Help her choose one suitable for a true princess. 2. THE INVITATIONS The first step is to draw up a guest list, prepare the invitations, and then mail them in good time. 3. THE RECEPTION VENUE As early as possible, the bride and groom will have to choose a venue that suits their needs. Do they want to celebrate their union in a reception hall, a restaurant, a marquee, on the side of a lake, or at a vineyard? 4. THE WEDDING BANDS The rings are an important part of the wedding ceremony; they symbolize the love and commitment of the bride and

PHOTO: jupiterimages / THINKSTOCK

groom. 5. THE FLOWERS What could be more beautiful than surroundings filled with flowers? The bride will want to choose with great care the flowers for her bouquet, centrepieces, and hall decorations. 6. THE WEDDING CAKE Choosing a baker and a cake design is an important detail. The cake is a central element of every wedding reception. 7. THE GUEST FAVOURS A small gift or wedding souvenir allows the bride and groom to thank their guests for celebrating with them. 8. THE MUSIC The bride and groom will want to choose music that has a special meaning for them, whether it’s for the wedding march or for the couple’s first dance.

WEDDINGS 2014

The head table: always a delicate matter Planning your head table seating arrangements can be tricky, especially when parents are divorced or remarried. It is important to leave lots of time to plan a solution to this problem and consult the parties involved; if done well in advance of the wedding day, chances are that you can accommodate everybody’s needs. Typically, if the parents of the bride or groom are divorced and remarried, they are not seated at the head table with their new spouses. However, if head table space and family relationships allow for it, then toss convention to the wind and do what feels right for your

fa mily. One practical solution is to organize a separate table for step-parents and their families, which could be in close proximity to the head table or an extension of it. Another option is to use a table in the shape of a half circle just for the bride and groom, the maid of honour, and the best man. The partners of the wedding party members sit at other tables. There are many ways to organize the seating at the head table, but generally speaking, the groom is seated to the right of the bride. If the bridal

the sand once it is poured. A glass vase or heart-shaped vessel works well. To symbolize the joining of two lives together, both the bride and groom can take one of the colors of sand and begin pouring them together into the larger container. The ribbons of sand will join and meld together, much as the couple’s separate lives will now become one. The finished sand art can be kept on a mantle as a remembrance of the wedding day for years to come. BR141837

Symbolic gestures are commonplace during wedding ceremonies. The exchange of rings, stomping on a glass and lighting of candles are each among the various traditions associated with different faiths. Couples who would like to try something a bit different can opt for pouring sand.

If so, be sure to keep in mind two simple things: you don’t want to end up looking like a peacock, and you don’t need to shock in order to stand out from the crowd. In fact, all you need is a simple pastel palette. How about a little review of recent styles: just a year ago, the ultimate avantgardist, Oscar de la Renta, presented a 2013 bridal collection strewn with clear blue tones. Some of his majestic creations were wrapped in powder blue organza that were simply divine. Vera Wang, the celebrated bridal gown designer, used the same theme

when she unveiled a diverse collection with “nude” tones as the star attraction. The colour theme, both glamorous and romantic, continues to be of interest this year, with pastel tones very much in the spotlight. Sea green, pale pink, quartz pink, peach: we are seeing a veritable bouquet of soft, delicate colours that give real feminine charm to the bride. Complementary tones include gold, green, and gray. A coloured gown can be complemented with tone on tone accessories in order to stay neutral, or contrasting colours to add dimension. Have you always dreamed of getting married in your grandmother’s fur stole? Vintage pieces combined with a pastel gown will help you create an original yet modern look.

Choosing a Wedding Photographer Okay—so a photographer is going to help you find a photographer—seems a bit selfserving. Yes and no; wedding photography is a complex task that involves people (adults AND children), myriad locations, good and bad weather, dogs and cats and sometimes iguanas (TRUTH!), cars, flowers, religious traditions—and other things that you won’t think of until they happen. I don’t believe any pro wants every wedding— we want the clients that fit our styles, because in the end what we really want are happy couples. So, here are some handy tips to with your search: Timing Start your search early; the best photographers are booking well in advance so you might want to start looking as soon as you have your date. Bridal Shows These events are very handy as you meet the photographer and see the photos at the same time—great for narrowing down your list. Don’t feel pressured to book or set up a meeting right then. A competent photographer is quite willing to let couples decide without any “book now for a great deal” pressure. Make a List Using your bridal show findings, online searches and recommendations from friends, make a short list—fewer than five—and then check their websites, Facebook pages, blogs, etc., to be sure you like their style before you set up a meeting. Feeling out things further with phone calls never hurts either. Meeting You have your short list so now it is time to get together—which is an absolute must. It is your wedding; your needs and the comfort of your family and friends is the single most important aspect of the day, and as such, your photographer needs to be professional and courteous at all times. A face-to-face is the only way to make a final decision—you can see if you feel a connection with the person as well as his/her photos, and if you are comfortable with their communication style. Costs and Packages An important final determining factor could well be price and package details; will you get what you want for a price you are willing to pay? Whether you want a shooter for the entire day or just a few hours you will want to be sure you both understand the make-up of the final product and the total costs involved. Remember—wedding days are a lot of fun and planning them can also be fun—though some people don’t believe me when I say that. Just start early, make choices you are comfortable with—and keep a good, detailed checklist. R0012523416

Couples about to tie the knot may be preoccupied with finding the right color palettes for their wedding days. While is has long been a favorite wedding day color, many couples are now looking for ways to go green at their weddings, as more and more couples want to make their ceremonies as eco-friendly as possible. While it might once have been difficult to make weddings environmentally friendly affairs, today’s couples have many ecofriendly options at their disposal. From hotels that use solar power to reception halls that rely on locally sourced foods, there are plenty of ways to turn weddings into entertaining and eco-friendly affairs. * Reduce reliance on stationery. Couples hoping to be more eco-conscious can cut back on the amount of paper they use at their weddings and throughout the planning process. Invitations can be printed on recycled stock, and couples can avoid using the envelope within an envelope that is often used when mailing wedding invitations. Furthermore, reduce what you place inside the invitation, including direction cards. Have guests visit a Web site to learn about hotel accommodations and respond to the wedding invite. * Choose earth-friendly fabrics. When selecting gowns and other attire, lean

toward natural fabrics, such as cotton, wool, hemp, or linen, each of which are eco-friendly fabrics. * Pick flowers that are in-season. Much like produce, certain flowers are grown out of season with the use of pesticides and herbicides. Imported flowers have high carbon footprints due to the distance they have to travel. Cut down on how far flowers have to travel and the use of potentially harmful chemicals by buying locally grown, in-season flowers. * Encourage guests to carpool to the wedding. You may want to make a flashy entrance at the ceremony, but you can curb emissions by having as many people travel together as possible. Ditch the sedan or limousine and rent a party bus that can fit many of your guests. * Rethink wedding favors. Instead of trinkets that are produced overseas and likely to end up in the trash, opt for edible favors, seeds or plants or even donations to charitable organizations. * Cut down on waste. Do you really need four courses at the reception and a complete dessert display? Food that goes uneaten will likely end up in the garbage. If you cannot arrange to have food delivered to a soup kitchen or another charitable group, scale back on how much

is served. Chances are guests will not even miss the extra food. * Recycle your gold or silver. Wedding bands symbolize are customary at wedding ceremonies. Rather than buying new rings, transform old jewelry into rings by having the metal melted down and formed. * Style your hair naturally. Although many hair products have reduced or eliminated their use of CFCs, which can enter the atmosphere and damage the ozone layer, harmful chemicals are still used in many products. Brides can skip the elaborate up-do that requires a lot of hair spray for a more natural, free-flowing look. * Rent or borrow whenever possible. Rented items are reused over and over, while items couples buy specifically for their weddings are liable to be used once and then discarded. Opt for rentals when possible. * Light beeswax candles. Candles are an eco-friendly way to provide romantic lighting at the wedding. Opt for nontoxic beeswax candles rather than paraffin candles. When couples put their minds to it, they can find many ways to have an ecofriendly wedding without compromising on style and fun. BR141847

How to Play: Hand out index cards and have each guest write a description of their favorite memory with the bride (the more adventurous, the better). The bridesmaids or hosts will collect the cards and take the bride on a trip down memory lane. All the guests will have to guess who ... snuck out of the house to meet the bride at a high-school party; met a pop star on a weekend in Miami with the bride; and more.

The five virtues of the ideal maid of honour Being a maid or matron of honour involves a lot more than just wearing a beautiful dress. Her role is also to personally ensure that everything goes perfectly for the bride, before, during, and after her big day. Do you have what it takes to fulfill this role? 1. ORGANIZATION: One of the maid of honour’s responsibilities is to organize the bachelorette party and accompany the bride to a variety of gatherings and fittings. In other words, your good time-management skills are essential. 2. HONESTY: The future bride is hesitating between two dresses and one of them is completely wrong for her. Now’s the time to be honest. You were chosen by the bride for this role because your opinion is important to her. Of course, you don’t impose your ideas, you just make tactful suggestions.

3. PATIENCE: Even if your friend is turning into a bridezilla (a bride-to-be whose wedding planning behaviour can be regarded as obsessive or intolerably demanding), you still need to be patient and give moral support to the bride throughout the process. 4. DEVOTION: On the big day, your job is to ensure that the bride’s dress, particularly the train, is always arranged properly and that her hair is perfect for the photos. You accomplish all the tasks related to your role without complaint; you’re not just a guest, but one of the people in charge of the entire event. 5. MODESTY: Be content to take the backseat on the wedding day; after all, it’s not you who is getting married. Think only of the bride while you’re wearing that formal dress and uncomfortable shoes that you’ll never wear again. R9912525371

News – The Government of Canada is seeking applications for projects that will help Canadian seniors use their leadership abilities, skills and experience to continue to make a difference in their communities through the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP). NHSP community-based projects help empower seniors to share their knowledge, skills and experiences with others and support communities by increasing their capacity to address local issues.

“Our government recognizes that seniors have helped build our country and continue to contribute their skills and experiences to communities and workplaces across Canada. Through initiatives such as the NHSP, we are empowering seniors by supporting projects that help improve their wellbeing and maintain a good quality of life,” said Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors). The call for proposals will close on Friday, July 4.

A sad day losing CBC Radio’s Bandwidth, a Canadian roots style of music Lifestyle – I love Canadian roots style music and we are blessed in Ontario and the rest of Canada to have an amazing talent base from which new collectives are continually coming together to allow each of their creative genius to flow in new and interesting ways. In a world where most radio stations continue to replay the same songs we’ve heard, it seems forever, it is refreshing to be able to tune into CBC radio, both 1 and 2 and get, at various times, airings of new and emerging artists. We all voted proudly as Shawn McCullough, Henry Norwood, Riq Turner, Gus McCormick, to name a few locals, all entered CBC’s recent Searchlight Contest where more than 5,000 original songs were submitted by musicians, all to hopefully earn the most votes, first in their own areas and then, after several rounds of voting ending nationally, to be named “Best New Artist�. Lauren Mann & The Fairly Odd Folk were this year’s winners from Brooks, Alberta and, from reading her bio, it appears she’d actually stopped playing for a few years, submitted this song at the encouragement of her husband. Now she has won $20,000 worth of Yamaha equipment, a showcase spot at CBC Music Festival and professional recording via CBC. And where else would I have heard her? Thank you CBC for all the interesting new music. But for how much longer?

We hear over and over how Harper’s Conservative government is cutting funding to CBC and the results have already started to appear with cuts, one being one of my favourite weekend radio shows, Bandwith, on Saturdays from 5 to 6 p.m. Hosted by Amanda Putz, she came to Ottawa from her home roots of Saskatchewan via some time in Toronto, to bring Bandwidth to life in 2004. In 2005, she also put together a very creative national radio show called Fuse where each episode paired up two

unlikely musical guests and, over the course of the hour they merged and collaborated on each other’s tunes. One

of the unlikely combinations I remember with great fondness is when BC’s gospel group The Sojourners and BC beat poet C.R. Avery (raised in Portland) joined and, later that year, ended up both playing at Stewart Park Festival. Amanda’s vision expanded many a music lover’s interests. After a two-year stint abroad in 2006 and 2007 she returned to host and co-ordinate Bandwidth again. She tirelessly produces the show on her own, playing new music and hosting in-depth interviews with old and new

musicians from a broad spectrum of genres available in Ontario. Rarely a loss for words, Amanda’s spunk has kept this show afloat for quite awhile but it will, too soon, be no more. Producing this show, keeping it fresh and interesting is incredibly difficult for one person but Amanda has pulled it off with a class all her own. I don’t know about you but, to me, CBC is a very important ingredient to our country, promoting the sharing of views from across our large, diverse land to help us understand one another. It also promotes our artistic endeavours, our unique weave of culture, whatever they may be. Classical and opera lovers get their piece of the airwaves as do all variations of genres including the past 25 years of Holger Peterson’s Saturday Night Blues, Tom Power’s show Deep Roots and Randy Bachman’s Vinyl Tap. Another favourite is Choral Concert, and what’s best is there are no commercials! Love him or hate him, but you’ve got to admit Rex Murphy makes you think and that’s a good thing for us all. It was a huge disappointment when they lost Hockey Night in Canada, with all the history behind it connected to so many of our families, through the years. I can’t encourage you enough to take some time to write or email CBC and share your concerns about these cuts. What’s gone will never come back so let’s not let it get away. Dare I say we get

a far more balanced opinion from CBC than some of the mogul-run private stations. At the recent Grassroots Festival in Ottawa, where she was doing a great job emceeing, I was able to thank Amanda Putz for all her energy and sharing of wonderful music from across Ontario on Bandwidth. She is heading back to Europe with her family and, on behalf of all Bandwidth and previous Fuse listeners, I wished her well and hope we see her back in our neck of the woods sometime.
