Henderson vaults to fourth best world golfer Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

It was a third place finish for Brooke Henderson Sunday at the LPGA Volvik Championship in Ann Arbor, MI, and a US$75,987 payday.

Starting Sunday’s final day tied for ninth, the 18-yearold Smiths Falls native had a five-birdie day and one bogey to climb up the leaderboard by six ending with yet another Top 10 finish, her ninth on the LPGA Tour this season and 10th overall. She carded a 4-under 68 and had a four-day total of 279, tying with American Jessica Korda who had an even par 72 on Sunday.

With the win, Henderson vaulted to number four on the World Rolex Rankings chart and number six for the CME Ranking.

As visitors, community partners and volunteers look on, Two Rivers Food Hub board co-chair Peter McKenna, right, and general manager Bruce Enloe, welcomes them to the May 25 first anniversary open house at the facility, located within Smiths Falls’ Gallipeau Centre. Guests had the opportunity to tour the food hub as well as learn more about the producers utilizing the space to make their businesses grow.

Two Rivers Food Hub marks one year of fostering local food connections Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

It may have started as a small seed, but with plenty of water, the Two Rivers Food Hub continues to become a force in the local foods movement.

The not-for-profit social enterprise located within the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls, celebrated its first anniversary in that space with an open house May 25. The food hub serves as a connection point between buyers and sellers of local food in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. In addition to tours of the facility, some of the producers renting space in the organization’s commercial kitchen offered samples of their products to visitors.

“We’re delighted to have our friends and partners and producers out today to showcase their products and services,” remarked Two Rivers Food Hub board co-chair Peter McKenna.

Beginning as a grassroots concept three years ago, through start-up funding from local municipalities, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Eastern Ontario Development Program and other groups, the location in the Gallipeau Centre was realized a year ago. The model is designed to be self-sustaining in three to five years.

“It’s a local food system that we’re trying to create,” McKenna said. “It’s about how farmers can help themselves and market products. We want to make it as easy as possible to buy local and to grow local.”

As board chair for the past two years, McKenna has been involved with the concept of the food hub since the beginning and while these types of local food systems are popular in the United States.

“The general public are looking for more local food products...they look when going into stores whether they’re helping local farms and the local economy,” McKenna noted. “I felt we could be the go-between for the purchaser, whether it’s a restaurant, grocery store or the general public, and the producer.”

The food hub currently offers commercial kitchen and bakery space rentals (new in 2015) to allow local producers to make products more efficiently and ensure they are made in a licensed and inspected facility. The purchase of processing and storage equipment has made it easier for producers who may not have the funds to buy their own, including large agricultural coolers and freezers and a portable vegetable brush line.

A pilot wholesale aggregation and distribution service, done in partnership with Wendy’s Mobile Market, increases opportunities for producers and provide service to restaurants, grocery stores and institutional food buyers.

Another exciting pilot project is the weekly local food basket during the summer months (it operates monthly in the winter), giving residents a taste of what the tri-county area has to offer.

McKenna said the hiring of local

food champion Bruce Enloe as the general manager of the Two Rivers Food Hub has made all the difference.

Enloe is also the owner of the Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill in Kemptville. “(The food hub) has grown since we hired Bruce a year ago,” he said.

“He’s the guy who really pulls it all together and makes it happen. He’s done a terrific job for us.”

Enloe stressed the volunteers and 10-member board of the food hub have provided a strong foundation and had done “an amazing amount of heavy lifting.” Under his leadership, two new full-time jobs have been created within the enterprise.

“I’m proud and blessed to be a part of this project,” he remarked. “...It’s good to be part of an organization that is actively taking part in making things happen for the local farm community.”

Success stories One of the producers reaping the benefits of the Two Rivers Food Hub is Let’s Get Pickled, the brainchild of Eliden Farms’ Denis Gagnon and Elizabeth Dickie. Two years ago, the duo began producing the traditional Korean delicacy, kimchi, which is fermented Napa cabbage and other vegetables. One-hundred per cent organic, “we make everything from our garden,” Gagnon said. “...We did a lot of research on the health benefits and how good it is for the system, so that’s See FOOD HUB page 4

Lanark County, long-term care homes prepare to Walk the Block June 16 Ashley Kulp

Can you talk the talk and walk the block?

Lanark Lodge, Perth Community Care, residents, their families and Lanark County administration staff will be lacing up their running shoes during the second annual Walk the Block fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society Thursday, June 16.

The day-long event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 115 Christie Lake Road in Perth with teams taking turns walking laps around the one-kilometre block (that’s wheelchair accessible) between Lanark Lodge, Perth Community Care and the county building. Team members will collect pledges in advance, to work towards this year’s $10,000 goal.

During the county’s May 11 community services committee meeting, county councillors were given an update on the fundraiser.

“Our residents of the lodge can participate and not only them and those from Perth Community Care and Lanark County administration, but we are extending it to the broader community,” Lanark Lodge director Deborah Pidgeon said.

Pidgeon noted that both Lanark County and Lanark Lodge have enrolled teams in

The second annual Walk the Block fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society is set for Thursday, June 16. It takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 115 Christie Lake Road in Perth. the Relay for Life event in the past, but wanted to give shift workers, staff and families a chance to be involved, close to home.

“At the lodge, we have had a number of staff members who have battled cancer, so we wanted to be involved,” she stated in a press release.

In addition to the main event, various bands will provide live entertainment and two barbecues will feed participants and visitors; one at lunch and another later in the evening.

Those who register for Walk the Block will eat for free and others will be charged a small fee. Want to make a donation?

A wishing well will be set up to collect any funds.

Walk the Block was designed with flexibility in mind, said Pidgeon. Teams have the opportunity can participate in as little or as much of the 12-hour event as they wish. “Sometimes 12 hours is just too much and

too hard to do for some people,” she stated.

Staff can choose to walk laps on their break and the accessible route makes it easier for family members with loved ones at Lanark Lodge and Perth Community Care to join in.

Once night falls, just as is tradition with Relay for Life, a luminary ceremony is planned for 9:15 p.m. Participants can purchase luminaries in honour of a loved one who has passed away from cancer or is currently fighting the disease.

“If you haven’t had the opportunity to actually attend a luminary ceremony, it is magical,” Pidgeon remarked.

why we decided on kimchi.”

Gagnon and Dickie make their products right in the food hub’s commercial kitchen and also store their inventory at the facility. “Everything is made here. We come here and process it and ferment it here,” he noted.

The fermenting process takes about five weeks and while they used to sell their kimchi at farmers’ markets, they have expanded into local stores and hope for even more growth in the future.

Having the opportunity to rent space in a commercial kitchen that adheres to health regulations makes the partners’ jobs easier.

“It can cost $75,000 for a commercial kitchen and at this point, we can’t afford it,” he explained.

“This is what the hub is doing for us. We come here at a very minimum cost and we can work and meet the (health) requirements. It’s so good. It’s a brand new way for local producers.”

Milestones, membership program A number of goals were set for 2015 and during anniversary open house, Enloe

Above, guests sample some of the delicious treats made by producers on site at the Two Rivers Food Hub’s commercial kitchen and bakery space.

The duo rent space at the Two Rivers Food Hub and are able to produce and store their inventory right on site. provided an update on the progress of the organization. By taking over the administration of the Fitzroy Beef Farmers Cooperative, the food hub is working with eight beef producers and distributes to more than 45 individual and eight commercial buyers. The partnership with Wendy’s Mobile Market has allowed distribution from

more than 75 local growers and producers to 140 direct sales clients and 100 wholesale ones.

“We should be really proud of that,” Enloe said of the food hub’s relationship with Wendy’s Mobile Market.

The local food basket program was also a big success.

In 2015, more than 45 local food basket shares with local

producers. An offshoot, the giving basket program, allows the organization to support local charities by offering select food shares at a higher price with the extra baskets going to people in need. In this case, YAK Youth Services in Perth was the beneficiary.

“We asked people at the beginning of the winter basket season, so it’s some way of giving back to the community,” Enloe explained, noting they will do it again this summer.

Adding to their arsenal of

resources is another area on which the food hub is focusing, Enloe noted. A number of workshops, information nights and tours were held in 2015 with more than 600 people passing through the facility’s doors. Work is also currently being completed on a 16,000 cubic feet cooler room.

“We’re very excited...and it provides a lot of space for overwintering root vegetable crops and helping us build a year-round food system,” he said.

The special occasion also served as the launch of a new membership program for the Two Rivers Food Hub. “We’re now able to offer memberships in the food hub for those interested in becoming more involved,” Enloe stated.

Memberships are available in three categories: Supporter, buyer and producer/processor memberships. All members receive access to online purchasing at special rates, regular updates on food hub events and news, as well as the first shot at tickets, workshops, local food baskets, etc.,

but these three different memberships are tailored to a specific audience.

“We’re very excited about these memberships and we’re looking forward to seeing a lot of people come on board,” Enloe said.

To ensure the local food hub movement continues to gain steam, McKenna said awareness and funding is the key to surviving.

“We have no big government money that keeps this thing going. It’s your support,” he stated. “...All the funds that come in stay in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville.

It’s a great economic developer. We have no big benefactor. It’s you that keeps making this happen.” “...To really survive we need to get into the distribution business,” McKenna continued. “We’re building this as we can afford it.”

Carol Snook shares cancer journey, survivors invited to take part in June 4 Relay for Life When Carol Snook was told in June 2009 that she had breast cancer, she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“I was very surprised and shocked as there wasn’t a history of breast cancer in the family,” she relates.

It was during a regular mammogram that a small lump was detected. After a follow up ultrasound and biopsy, the cancer diagnosis was made.

“Even then, I couldn’t feel the lump myself as it was quite small,” she states.

“That is why I impress on all my female friends to get regular mammograms.”

Snook underwent surgery in late August that year. That was followed by five sessions of chemotherapy, three weeks apart, which started in October, and then three-and-a-half weeks of radiation. The treatments finished at the end of March 2010.

For her, one of the greatest difficulties in her cancer journey was the waiting between biopsy and surgery, and then surgery to treatment.

“I am the type of person who likes to know the whole process in advance but had to wait after each step to learn what would happen next,” she remarks.

Thus it was an exciting moment for Snook when she finally got to ring the

bell to signal that her chemotherapy treatments were over.

“That is one treatment that I would not wish on anyone,” she shares. “Follow-up checkups were approached with positivity as I quickly regained my strength and could get on with my life.”

Three years ago, Snook and other family members and friends joined together to form the Cancer Kicking Cousins team for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life (RFL).

“The Relay is important to me, first as a cancer survivor, but also because of family members and friends who have battled cancer, many who have lost that battle,” she notes.

“Our team wants to do their part in raising money for research and to provide assistance to patients and their families.”

In 2015, the team achieved the gold level status at the RFL in Smiths Falls, raising more than $11,000. Her brother who will celebrate his 84th birthday a few days before this year’s event – which will take place from 5 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, June 4 at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) track – raised more than $1,500 in 2015 as the top individual fundraiser.

Snook will once again be attending the Survivor

Reception and Survivor Victory Lap at the RFL. “It is always an emotional time doing the Victory Lap and to see all the other survivors either walking in wheelchairs or carts,” she says of the experience. “The Survivor Reception is an opportunity to meet with

others who have gone through similar experiences and to see many who attended in previous years.”

The Survivor Reception will begin at 4 p.m. on June 4 with light refreshments being served in the Cafetorium at SFDCI. The Victory Lap will begin im-

mediately following the opening ceremonies at 5 p.m. For those who wish to take part in the lap but are unable to walk it, golf carts will be provided.

“Survivor doesn’t mean that you have to have beaten cancer,” points out Vicki Christensen who is co-ordinating

Golfers come out to support Big Brothers Big Sisters at 3M Golf for the Kids Supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County were on hand to enjoy a fun day of golf at Mapleview in Perth on Saturday, May 28. It was another sold out event, with 144 golfers taking part, and enjoying the beautiful course while supporting a great local children’s charity.

3M Canada in Perth was this year’s title sponsor, and sent two teams to participate, as well as donated items for the very popular take home bags that each golfer gets.

The participants were well fed during the day. Tim Hortons donated the coffee and muffins, Garden Market Smiths Falls provided fresh fruit for a mid morning snack and dessert to accompany the homemade cookies provided by Wendy Andison. Shoppers Drug Mart in Perth and Smiths Falls provided chips and pop. Blair & Sons donated water and ice.

There were many games that added to the day’s fun, including a putting contest that provided many golfers with Tim Hortons’ gift cards donated

by Leo Adams Investments and a trip to Las Vegas donated by Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac in Smiths Falls. Thank you to Crain and Schooley part of Arthur J. Gallagher Canada Limited for providing a hole in one contest. Another lucky golfer won a hammock and stand donated by the Smiths Falls Canadian Tire.

Above, kicking up their heels were this foursome from Tammy’s Nails. From left: Owner Tammy Edwards, Dorothy Smith, Debbie Harbridge and Tara Tedford. Right, this group looks on as a team member lines up a shot on the greens. to have many other great sponsors as well. FOX Emergency Power Solutions was the beverage cart sponsor this year. Metroland Media was once again the media sponsor, helping to spread the news about the 3M Golf for Kids Sake Tournament. Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC was the cart sponsor for this year’s tournament.

“Mentoring programs cost money,” quotes Jennifer Miller, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

“Having trained social service workers on staff to ensure volunteers are carefully screened is really important.

Events like this one help us cover those costs.” Five-hundred and fifty-five children received service through the

DUNLOP

agency in 2015.

Each volunteer that offers to work with a child through our agency is carefully screened and evaluated for the safety of the children by a trained social worker. Thorough background checks are conducted, along with interviewing and training. Children are also given safety training, and go through an interview process, along with their families, to ensure that each match is set up to be successful. Matches are then monitored closely to ensure its success, and the safety and well-being of the child. National standards are followed throughout the process.

The agency does not receive sustainable government funding, so relies on events like this golf tournament to fund its programs.

More than 15 volunteers worked tirelessly to put on the event, which raised over $15,000 for the local charity. Special recognition was given to Ruth Anne Johnson, a volunteer who has been co-ordinating the silent auction for the last seven years.

Health unit raises awareness on dangers of blue-green algae Blue-green algae blooms are a natural seasonal phenomenon that may appear in our lakes, rivers and ponds.

Many of these blooms are relatively harmless; however, some species have the potential to produce toxins which may be harmful to people and animals. The presence of blue-green algae and its toxins can only be confirmed through a laboratory test, so we recommend taking a cautious approach when you suspect a blue-green algae bloom. Toxins are released when the algae cells break down; these toxins can cause skin irritation, nausea and vomiting. When exposed to higher concentrations you can experience

liver problems.

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit advises people using surface water for recreation and drinking, to become familiar with blue-green algae so they can make informed decisions on when to avoid contact with the water. Algae blooms do degrade with time; however, it is not possible to say whether the toxins have completely left the area. Once the toxin is released from the cell, where it goes is dependent on the local characteristics of water movement in the area. The toxin will eventually be diluted into the body of water as any other soluble compound.

Drinking water Surface water is never a safe source of drinking water without effective treatment. The toxins released by bluegreen algae are not removed by commonly used treatment methods such as boiling, chlorination or ultraviolet light treatment. Consult a water treatment specialist if your drinking water comes from the lake. You may want to choose another source of water for drinking.

Recreational water use Avoid activities that increase your exposure to toxins in the water during an active algae bloom. When deciding whether to resume recreational use

HEAR BETTER LIVE BETTER

of the water after a blue-green algae bloom (swimming and water sports) consider the following factors: • Faster moving water will dilute and move the toxins out of an area more quickly, further decreasing the risk to health. Each property will have a different water flow pattern, so a local assessment is useful to further assess risk.

• Skin irritation is the first sign that the level of toxin is significant in the water, so if this occurs, it is important not to go in the water. A few more days will help to clear the water if it is moving well, unless another bloom has occurred.

• The water in lakes and rivers al-

ways has the potential to be infected with bacteria, viruses and other microbes that can affect health. So it is important not to swallow the water.

• Be cautious about eating fish caught in water where a blue-green algae bloom has occurred. Toxins are concentrated in the liver. So avoid consuming the liver, kidneys and other organs of fish caught in an area affected by blue-green algae.

Residents are encouraged to contact the Spills Action Center at 1-800-2686060 to report new blue-green algae blooms. There is also more information available at http://www.healthunit. org/recwater/blue-green-algae.html.

Opportunity knocks

e understand why some of you do not feel you should have to keep your unattended vehicles secured or the doors to your house and garage locked while you are doing work on your property. Unfortunately, there are too many examples of how those who don’t give it a second though or choose not to heed the warnings from law enforcement end up getting burned.

All it takes is a few moments for a crime of opportunity to occur. At a recent Carleton Place planning and protection committee meeting, Les Reynolds, the town’s director of protective services indicated an arrest was made in a recent spree of car break-ins. He said while some people still don’t lock their vehicles in their yard, it’s the best defence against theft.

A Perth man was also charged with multiple counts of theft and other offences for a series of motor vehicle thefts in Mississippi Mills.

The police can’t be everywhere all of the

time, so the rest of us have to do our part and make note and report any suspicious activity seen or heard. Setting an example by being a good neighbour could serve a useful purpose when the shoe is on the other foot and we have been victimized.

The other thing we can do is reduce the risk of being ripped off by taking simple steps to discourage thieves. How many of us make a point of not leaving items of value – a purse, wallet or cell phone, or maybe a laptop – in our vehicles that are unlocked or have the windows down and that are in plain view of passersby?

No, we shouldn’t have to keep everything under lock and key. Eastern Ontario is a safe place to live compared to just about everywhere else, but property crime has been and continues to be a reality here. We’re not helping the situation by ignoring the problem. By being a bit more careful and making note of and reporting suspicious activity to police immediately, maybe there would be fewer thefts.

Crossing her fingers made things right for Mary when telling a lie Mother put her hand on my shoulder and looked me square in the eye. I was about to head out to school, and I knew exactly what she was going to say, so I put my hands behind my back and crossed my fingers. I had it on good authority that if you were about to tell a lie, crossing your fingers made things right.

“Now don’t you and Velma go walking in those ditches of water on the way home from school.

It’s still too cold, and you’ll come with a death of the cold, and we’ll have to call Mrs. Beam and you know what that means: the onion treatment.” With my fingers knitted behind my back, I assured her we would stay clear of the ditches, knowing full well Velma and I, once we got rid of our brothers and sisters, would do what we did just about every day coming home from the

Northcote School.

The ditches still had water from the Spring run-off, and heavy rains for several days made them look like little streams, and were too inviting to be ignored.

As soon as the coast was clear, Velma and I headed behind a cluster of cedars, peeled off our shoes and stockings, crammed them into our book bags, and tucked our skirts into the elastic legs of our navy blue fleece lined bloomers. Making sure no one was on the Northcote Side Road, we squealed with sheer

joy as our bare feet hit the water. The grass underfoot was like silk, and of course there was never any garbage thrown in the ditches back then, and we sloshed along at our heart’s content, heading from the side road from the school, almost to where our lanes began. Not once did I think of Mother’s words as I left for school in the morning. After all, I had my fingers crossed.

By the time we reached our long lane, we had run out of water in the ditches, and we reluctantly had to abandon what we considered the utmost joy, walking barefoot in the waterfilled ditches of the Northcote Side road!

Our book bags hung from our shoulders, and we reluctantly left the ditches as we neared our lane, which was just before the Thoms’, gingerly stepping

the water in the ditches.

Our legs had to be dried completely before we could put on our long stockings and shoes.

And Velma and I laughed and delighted in the conspiracy of the whole escapade. Knowing

perfectly well, as long as the ditches held the water, we would repeat our adventure.

My stockings were damp, so I draped them over the chair near my bed, tucked my not too dry shoes under the washstand, and headed downstairs in my play clothes. “I bet you and Velma walked the ditches on your way home,” my hate-

ful brother Emerson said at the supper table. I dropped my fork, put my hands behind my back with my fingers crossed, and denied it vehemently. Mother was too busy filling our plates to take notice, as I shot daggers at Emerson.

The grand opening of the Kemptville Farmers’ Market was held on May 29. The farmers’ market, located at the B&H Grocer parking lot in Kemptville, has been running for 10 seasons and grown exponentially in that time. Above, Jack Deslauriers and Brock Dowdell visit with a bunny. Above right, Al Wood and the Woodsmen perform. Throughout the day, Bruce Enloe and Friends and Phlat Black and Blue also took the stage.

and organizers are hoping to exceed that number this year.

While survivors can register the day of the event, they are encouraged to pre-register by contacting Anita Carley, fundraising specialist for Leeds & Grenville and the Smiths Falls area with the FLA & The Waterways community office of the CCS at 1-866877-0309, ext. 3653 or email her at acarley@ontario.cancer.ca. You can also visit the

RFL website at relayforlife. ca/smithsfalls. Survivor “visitor only” registration will be available this year.

Snook encourages those who have not taken part in the Survivor events before to come and join the other survivors.

“And not to be nervous as we have all been through cancer, although each one in a different way,” she states.

The cancer survivor was honoured to be asked to be the Community Champion

for this year’s RFL. “I hope I can have an impact on survivors, participants and contributors,” she says.

Like many, Snook says her cancer diagnosis has changed her approach to life.

“I now live for each day,” she comments.

Lily joins the growing Paw Patrol brigade Our daughter and her family recently moved back to Ottawa from Regina, something we are obviously delighted about. No more day-long flights to Saskatchewan (including airport wait times) to see them.

Kathleen and I are so pleased to have Heather and Indy back in this area. He’s been transferred to his company’s Canadian head office in Ottawa. Grandma and grandpa are now only a 40-minute drive away from grandchild No. 1, Lily. Heather and Indy are expecting grandchild No. 2 this summer.

During the transition from Regina to Ottawa they lived with us for six weeks. We got along exceedingly well and it was so nice to have Lily, who turned two in March, around us every day for an extended period. At this age children change so fast. Her vocabulary is getting bigger by the day and her personality is rapidly developing. Lily doesn’t have a middle name.

But if she did it would be spelled “FU-N”!

Kathleen and I were in the city doing some shopping one day recently.

Afterwards we took the opportunity to visit Heather and Lily (Indy was at work of course) and take them out for lunch.

Lily’s latest word is “exactly” and she uses it in all the right places too. If you make a point with her these days that is usually her answer. “Exactly,” she replies. And with so much emphasis I have to stifle laughter. Lily doesn’t like it if you laugh at something she says. You can laugh with her, but not at her!

From Christmas until mid-March Lily and her parents were still in Regina. By the time Heather and Lily arrived here the change in our granddaughter was profound. She was saying so much and was starting to put words into short sentences.

Lily doesn’t miss a thing either!

Son Craig and I drove to the airport to pick up his sister and niece (Indy remained in Regina for a few days to facilitate the move).

It was early evening when we left the airport and we were famished. We stopped for dinner at a popular west Ottawa eatery.

It was there that I learned my granddaughter is a “triple-dipper.”

A triple-dipper is someone who puts the same vegetable (Lily loves red peppers) or French fry into the same container of dip three times in rapid succession. I also discovered Lily isn’t adverse to mixing ketchup and ranch dressing during her dipping sessions.

At the restaurant in question bigscreen televisions are everywhere. Lily loves TV, especially the commercials.

As we waited for our meals she was intently watching the screen behind me.

Trump(ed) I found out our granddaughter is also up on American politics.

Craig and I were sure we heard her say, “Trump.”

Reflections

By Jeff maguire

On inquiring Heather informed us that Lily follows the news closely.

She recognizes Donald Trump the instant film footage or photos of the presumptive Republican presidential candidate appear on screen.

I’m not sure that’s a good thing?

But evidently my granddaughter has inherited some of her grandpa’s interest in the news.

It was at the restaurant that I heard Lily say the name “Marshall” for the first time. She was using a red crayon to make her mark on the colouring sheet they give all little kids.

“Who is Marshall?”

I

asked Heather.

“Oh, he’s one of the pups in a TV show Lily likes. It’s called Paw Patrol.

“He (Marshall) is a fire dog (a Dalmatian as it turns out) so when she sees red, Lily thinks of Marshall.”

Until that night in March I had never heard of Paw Patrol. Since then, thanks to my granddaughter, I have become well educated about the animated kids’ program which is attracting a growing audience, not only here but around the world.

I can now tell you all about Marshall and his fellow rescue pups. No, they weren’t “rescued.” Instead, under the guidance of a 10-year-old boy named Ryder, it is the six pups – the others are named Chase, Rocky, Zuma, Skye and Rubble – who do the rescuing.

The Paw Patrol is always saving someone during their ongoing effort to protect residents of the fictional city of Adventure Bay. Other characters of note are Mayor

Goodway, the city’s problem prone chief executive and her “purse pet”, a chicken with the appropriate name ‘Chickaletta’ who is always running “a – fowl” of someone or something.

There is Cap’n Turbot, a bumbling marine biologist and fisherman who the pups are inevitably tasked with assisting or rescuing. Wally the Walrus also makes regular guest appearances.

Wally is smarter than his friend the captain.

“No job is too big, no pup is too small,” Ryder says to the person who calls for help.

Our Lily never tires of Paw Patrol.

She absolutely loves the series. When they were staying with us I would ask her every morning what she would like to watch on television. Without hesitation she answered, “Paw Troll.”

Remember, she is just two. The word “patrol” doesn’t roll easily off her

World No Tobacco Day highlights standardized packaging theme May 31 was World No Tobacco Day! This year’s theme was ‘Plain and Standardized Packaging’ for tobacco products.

Many Canadians may not be aware of how much product promotion and marketing goes into pack design for cigarettes and other tobacco products.

The tobacco industry, however, is critically aware how valuable

little tongue yet.

Ask Lily what the characters favourite sayings are and she can instantly tell you.

“What does Rubble say?”

“Rubble on the double,” Lily states with dramatic emphasis.

“What about Chase?”

“Chase is on the case,” she announces.

Not surprisingly when he’s asked to take on a task Lily’s favourite character Marshall (the Dalmatian pup) says, “I’m fired up!”

Based on my granddaughter’s considerable interest I was moved to investigate what is behind the growing franchise that is Paw Patrol.

Merchandise based on the TV series dominates every toy store these days.

The closing credits pass quickly.

But I was sure I saw a Canadian flag flash by. Incredibly Paw Patrol is a Canadian series. The wildly successful series of TV shows, video games and merchandise was created and is owned by Toronto-based Spin Master.

Marketing dynamo The second week of May, Spin Master released its 2016 first-quarter earnings. Fans of the series – incredibly I now find myself among them – weren’t surprised. Market analysts were!

The world’s financial gurus are now sitting up and taking notice. That’s because the first-quarter earnings for the firm were an astounding $161.7 million (US). Spin Master’s revenues jumped 51.9 per cent in one year. The TV series and its spin-offs are responsible for a major share of that. Paw Patrol is on the rampage, financially speaking!

Spin Master has revised its sales growth guidance chart from “highsingle-digits” to the “mid-teens” range.

The Canadian company’s skyrocketing sales are being driven by Paw Patrol and associated merchandising.

However the firm has also acquired American board game maker Cardinal Industries which has given it a further boost.

Things are going so well that on May 16 Spin Master shares hit a new high of $28.88 before closing at a still very impressive $28.26. That’s a 50 per cent jump in 10 months.

the pack is for both recruiting new smokers and keeping brand loyalty among current smokers. Currently tobacco companies are manipulating pack size, shape and colour to minimize the health warnings as well as to target particular groups.

Some cigarettes mimic cosmetics and come in sleek, iridescent packages.

Other packs feature fold out

The firm’s success traces from modest beginnings in 1994. Three university graduates invested $10,000 in an enterprise that manufactured nylon stocking-covered heads of sawdust. The heads were then topped with grass seed that grew to look like hair. They were first sold on the street in downtown Toronto.

Some of you may recall “Earth Buddy”, the product the trio developed. As basic as it was Earth Buddy was picked up by major retailers and by the end of 1995 it had sold 1.5 million units.

The company’s evolution has been rapid. In just over two decades Spin Master is one of the largest toy companies in the world.

As recently as 2008 they launched an entertainment division to develop TV programs and video games. They approached Keith Chapman, the British television producer and writer who created the popular Bob the Builder children’s animated TV series, asking him to invent a new franchise.

In 2013 Chapman’s Paw Patrol was unleashed. The first episodes aired on the American cable channel Nickelodeon and TVO Kids in Ontario in August 2013. It was an instant hit on both sides of the border. Today Paw Patrol is distributed to 160 countries.

The series has spawned a growing and hugely popular line of children’s toys, video games, books and posters.

Spin Master is now eyeing the massive Asian market as a new frontier for their rapidly expanding franchise.

This is a Canadian success story that is growing with every passing day.

When Lily turned two in March family and friends gave her numerous gifts. Many relate to her favourite TV show. She has Paw Patrol bath toys, stuffed figures, a backpack, a folding chair, books and other items spun from the series.

I now record episodes on the PVR so we’ll have them when Lily visits.

When she arrives at grandma and grandpa’s house these days there’s little question what she’ll do. First she sits on the couch. Then grandma gives her a cup of apple juice while she waits for me to switch on the TV. “Do you want to watch Paw Patrol Lily,” I ask.

“Exactly,” our little granddaughter says!

marketing materials or attractive (inner packs that encourage the user to discard the outside portion with the vital health warnings.

Considering that tobacco products are the only legal product that, when used as directed, kills 50 per cent of users prematurely, the pack needs to reflect the toxic product inside.

Plain and standard packaging would ensure that all packs are the same size, same shape and same colour. Brand name would be printed in a plain font and there would be no brand colours or logos permitted. This has been done in several other countries and is reflected in Canada’s commitment to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

These measures will reduce the

attractiveness of the deadly product inside, stop the tobacco companies from advertising through the pack and increase the effectiveness of the health warning.

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit supports plain and standardized packaging. The federal health minister has stated it is a top priority for this government. Canada is ready to join other

jurisdictions like Australia, the UK, France and Ireland in implementing plain and standardized packaging for tobacco products.

Waterfront Lot Christie Lake $199,000 What a view! Christie Lake is considered one of the nicest, cleanest lakes in the area. Great location only 15 minutes to Perth with excellent access in off the Althorpe Road. The waterfront is gorgeous, clean, weed free, sandy gravelly bottom.

Also included is the dock and the boat lift. Don’t wait on the one – there are not a lot of good waterfront building lots available! 100 feet of excellent frontage by 500 feet deep. Stairs and decking have already been installed. Don’t wait!

LAWS thanks community for generosity with recent donations The Artistic Artists, a group of five girls from Merrickville Public School presented their cheque last week to The Lanark Animal Welfare Society. The girls handmade a wide variety of items which they sold at the school in April and raised $ 193 for their cause. Well done, Artistic Artists!! Thank you so much girls, from all the paws of LAWS! A huge thank you to the Global Pet Foods store in Stittsville who was fundraising for shelters in February and choose LAWS to benefit from it. Carloads of food were sent to LAWS as well.

Hope to see you this Saturday, June 4 at our first garage sale of 2016. Rain or shine, we’ll be there and will be open for business at 8 a.m. on 253 Glenview Road in Smiths Falls.

This week’s featured pets Puma When Puma came to LAWS she was frightened and very unsure about what was going on. It was not easy to handle her but after she was spayed she calmed down, somewhat. Recently she was moved into another area where she enjoys the company of several other cats. She’s doing a lot better, however we feel Puma would be happier if she could roam some land and find herself a warm barn with a haystack.

If you have space for this little black and white cat she’ll help you keeping it free of mice and rats. She is spayed and up to date with all her inoculations.

made himself already well-liked by the customers who have met him.

Kenny tries to convince the other cat in the store, Merlin, that he’s ok to play with. Roaming the store is only possible when there are no dogs around. Kenny must have had a very traumatic experience with dogs as he does not like them, none of the dogs he’s met in the store so far.

Therefore he should be in a home with no dogs.

We hope he finds a home soon as he does not like living in his cage. If you’d be interested in a very friendly, laidback cat who loves to share his affection with you, then Kenny is your man. He’s so very gentle and handsome too as you can see from the picture. We’re pretty confident that he’s OK living with children as well. Go and see him soon don’t miss out on this very lovable cat. He is easy to fall in love with.

The Nice Guys takes audience on trip back to 1970s L.A. MOVIE: The Nice Guys STARRING: Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Angourie Rice, and Kim Basinger DIRECTOR: Shane Black RATING: 14A Welcome to 1977 Los Angeles. Welcome to a world of corruption and murder. A world two unlikely partners are trying to navigate to find a young woman who’s in over her head.

Everyone is looking for Amelia (Margaret Qualley). Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) is the kind of guy you call when you need a problem to go away.

He did a job for Amelia, but now thinks she might be in trouble. He hires private detective Holland March (Ryan Gosling) to help him find her which is ironic because March was the job Amelia hired Healy to make go away.

March was looking for Amelia as part of a different case. He was hired by the aunt of Misty Mountains (Murielle Telio), an adult film star, who died in an apparent suicide. The aunt is convinced her niece is alive, and she wanted March to find her. His investigation turned up Amelia as a possible lead.

After Healy broke March’s arm, March let the case go. Now that Healy wants him to help him find Amelia, March figures a job is a job.

March takes the money, and together with Healy they uncover a strange plot. It seems Amelia was involved in making an ‘experimental’ film, and everyone involved in making that movie is now dead.

If they don’t find Amelia soon she will be too.

One of the things that really struck me was how Shane Black was able to turn the clock back to re-

My Take

MARK HASKINS

create 1977 Los Angeles.

The sets, the costumes, the cars on the freeway, the ads on the billboards, and the shots of the city. The attention to detail immerses you in this time and in this story.

That same attention to detail carries over to the crafting of the plot. It’s a classic detective story with plenty of twists and turns.

It begins as a simple missing person case and develops into a conspiracy that reaches all the way into the government.

The cast is extremely sharp. Kim Basinger, Margaret Qualley and Keith David are great, but it’s Angourie Rice who is a real stand out. She plays March’s daughter Holly, who despite March’s best attempts, keeps getting involved to try and help her dad. She’s funny when she needs to be funny, she’s insightful when she needs to be insightful, but underneath it all remains a child.

Russell Crowe has a knack for playing tough guys. He’s perfect as Healy who has no qualms about breaking a man’s nose if he believes it’s the right thing to do. Ryan Gosling effortlessly becomes a private detective who relies on luck as much as skill, and struggles as widowed husband and a single dad.

Together Crowe and Gosling do funny, they do hardboiled, they do heroics. The chemistry between them is fantastic, and more than worth the price of admission. The Nice Guys is good, but with them it’s must-see cinema.

Post-traumatic stress disorder and how healing can happen Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) …occurs as a result of exposure to an extreme traumatic stressor involving the threat of death or serious injury.

The threat may be experienced directly or may involve witnessing others at risk for death or injury. Some examples of traumatic events are sexual and physical assault, war experiences, imprisonment, car accidents, and natural disasters. (From Ottawa Anxiety and Trauma Clinic website: http://www.traumaclinic.ca).

PTSD symptoms include: • Re-experiencing symptoms – bad memories, nightmares and/or “flashbacks” • Avoidance of reminders of the event • Hyperarousal (feeling edgy, anxious or hyperalert) • Negative thinking and mood

wreak havoc on our bodies and spirits. The long-term, alarming, debilitating, and often bizarre symptoms of PTSD develop when we cannot complete the process of moving in, through and out of the ‘immobility’ or ‘freezing’ state,” Levine says.

The symptoms of PTSD reflect a “normal” reaction to an abnormal situation, and cause problems for the sufferer, instead of healthy adaptation. In nature, the “freeze-faint” reaction, or immobility response works very well, e.g. a deer standing still in a forest, while on a highway, the “deer in the headlights” is maladaptive.

Healing through group, individual therapy Although individual counselling is usually an essential avenue for helping people recover from PTSD, for many people, group counseling programs provide a strong foundation for the healing process. (See the Fall 2014 issue of Mind Matters for an in-depth article on group therapy.)

There are three stages in the healing process: Stabilization, symptom management and skills training, and trauma memory processing. The type of treatment depends on what stage the person in in.

This can fluctuate over time, as life circumstances affect a person’s mental state.

Stabilization: A person suffering from PTSD may become isolated, overwhelmed with their distress and difficulties. The focus here is on stabilization. Bass and Davies, authors of The Courage to Heal, describe this as the “emergency stage.” Suicidal feelings or urges are a lifethreatening risk at this time.

Crisis counselling is needed,

distressing trauma memories, emotions, negative selfperceptions, and unhealthy behaviour patterns that are linked with the trauma experience. The key here is developing the ability to observe oneself with a calm mind. A well-researched treatment approach, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), may be useful at this stage. At the heart of EMDR is a “dual focus awareness,” which includes a strong, grounded self, aware of safety and comfort, and a traumatized self, a kind of “survivor mode” that arose from the trauma.

Sue Genest, a Canadian trauma therapist asks, “Why look at the past?”

She describes the process of healing traumatic memories as follows: “Historical incidents can intertwine and interfere with current difficulties. They are like the

and possibly medication, to help reduce the intensity of the anxiety, depressed mood and/or sleep disruption.

Symptom management and skills training: Once a person is through the extreme distress of PTSD, (s) he is ready to develop coping skills. Learning to recognize symptoms of anxiety and/ or depression, and learning about the impact of trauma on emotional and interpersonal functioning is the focus at this stage. Several group programs at Lanark County Mental Health are invaluable for people in this stage of recovery. Learning to manage emotional storms takes practice and patience, and the mutual support of the group is invaluable in this stage.

Processing trauma memories: Once a person has the ability to “ground” him/herself, it becomes possible to work through the intensely

MERIVALE RD

People with PTSD often have changes in sleep, concentration and memory, energy, and outlook. They may be depressed, emotionally numb, or irritable. Their relationships are affected by the change in personality that often happens as they struggle to deal with their symptoms.

They may have trance-like states with a loss of awareness of “normal” consciousness (dissociation), or feelings of unreality. Drug or alcohol abuse is very common, as the person is overwhelmed and tries to numb the pain. PTSD affects a person on all levels: body, mind and spirit, relationships, and the ability to function. Sometimes when an adult experiences a trauma or a tragic loss, there is a re-activation of the painful emo-

tions and memories of childhood traumas that had been long buried. First responders, who witness traumas in their work, are at risk for PTSD, and the existence of a “tough through it” culture may inhibit them from seeking help.

No two people have exactly the same experience when faced with a tragedy or trauma. Yet there are some commonalities, because of the way our nervous systems are organized.

Peter A. Levine, author of Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma, describes in a very clear way how our nervous systems are organized, and how understanding and working with this normal physiology provides us with way to heal from the impact of trauma. There are two survival modes: the “fight or flight” reaction (sympathetic nervous system) and the less familiar “freeze-faint” reaction (parasympathetic nervous system).

Levine writes, “The key to healing traumatic symptoms in humans is in our physiology. When faced with what is perceived as inescapable or overwhelming threat, humans and animals both use the immobility response.

The important thing to understand about this function is that it is involuntary. This simply means that the physiological mechanisms governing this response resides in the primitive, instinctual parts of our brains and nervous systems, and is not under conscious control.”

“Traumatic symptoms are not caused by the triggering event itself. They stem from the frozen residue of energy that has not been resolved and discharged; this residue remains trapped in the nervous system where it can

New lots sooN to be released

in Maggie’s Place, beckwith, by luxart Homes

BY AMY HOGUE Imagine coming home at the end of a workday to a new, highend, luxury home that’s still only a few minutes away from urban amenities like grocery stores and shopping locations. Purchasers looking for new, quality built homes at affordable pricing will

be pleased to learn that Luxart Homes will soon be releasing additional lots in the much sought-after development, Maggie’s Place, located in Beckwith Township.

“People have been really excited for this release come out, there’s been a real buzz about it,” co-founder and CEO of Luxart

Homes, Amanda Wagorn, said of the upcoming release, “We’re excited to get it going, and it will be ready for people to move into their new homes in spring or summer 2017.”

Of the 101 lots in Maggie’s Place, about 50 per cent are already sold, and with a location only a minute or two to Hwy. 7, Wagorn said the lots have been in high demand. Development is available for bungalows or two-story homes on lots sized between 1.5 and 3 acres, with options for open or wooded lots, and a range of sun directionalities.

All lots are serviced by full underground Hydro, Bell Canada, Fibe Internet, and Rogers Cable, and the development is close to the amenities of Carleton Place, as well as the Beckwith Recreation complex, one of the largest in Ontario.

Maggie’s Place offers something much more than just location to prospective purchasers: it offers a community of neighbours.

Wagorn explained that the community in Maggie’s Place has become very close-knit, and frequent community events in the development help to ensure new residents have an opportunity to get to know one another, fostering that community feeling.

Luxart Homes is a home-builder focused on Carleton Place and Beckwith, and Maggie’s Place is one of two developments in the area, the other being Berkeley Park, in Carleton Place. From a purchaser’s point of view, Luxart Homes offers something unique to the housing industry by offering full custom design at no charge, allowing purchasers influence over the design of their home.

“It’s not choose one of these two options,” wagorn explained, “we start with a blank page to design something that will match the individual requirements of each family.”

“It’s not choose one of these two options,” Wagorn explained, “We start with a blank page to design something that will match the individual requirements of each family.”

Interior and exterior finishing, flooring options, floor plan design, lot orientation…all are on the table when dealing with Luxart Homes, which means that each home has been individually created to match the purchaser’s needs. Included in the base price, Luxart Homes offers hardwood on the main floor, ceramic in wet areas, full tiled walls in showers, nine foot ceilings, oversized windows, fireplace, niches and more!

Luxart Homes is a well-known developer in Lanark County, with a reputation for the aesthetic quality of their homes, as well as a high quality of construction and customer service. Wagorn explained when someone purchases a home from Luxart Homes they can expect individualized attention, which brings with it a welcoming autonomy with the build and a wide range of choice.

Homes in Maggie’s Place start at $459,000, a price which is comparable to other homes of similar size in the area but without the higher-end construction and interior finishing available from Luxart Homes.

“We’re offering really competitive pricing and a nice product,” Wagorn stressed.

Luxart Homes’ model home is located at 107 William Hay Drive, and is open Saturdays and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., or anytime by appointment. For more information about Luxart Homes, Maggie’s Place, or to schedule an appointment, please visit the website at www.luxarthomes.com or contact the sales office at 613-253-7571.

Celebrating 200 years of community at Full Circle Theatre The first thing BarnDoor Productions’ producing director David Jacklin saw, in 1983, when he stepped off the bus in Perth for the first time was the faded paint on the wall at 56 Gore Street East, announcing the offices of Thomas Radenhurst, Barrister. The bus had actually stopped directly in front of the building where three of the characters in his new play, The Last Deadman, had worked.

Produced that summer, The Last Deadman was the first production for Perth Summer Theatre, Perth’s first professional summer theatre, which ran through 1992 when Jacklin and his now-wife Janice, who had been in the cast of that 1983 production, created BarnDoor Productions, Perth’s original community theatre.

BarnDoor Productions is now bringing The Last Deadman back to the stage, as the first show in their special summer series celebrating the 200th anniversary of the community.

The Last Deadman is a drama with music that looks at Perth’s legendary 1833 duel. That duel involved a group of impressionable young people from the town, who got caught up in the rivalries of their elders and were not able to stop until someone was killed. In itself, a tragic event, but it is the long-term result of the duel that caught the eye of the playwright.

The duel’s survivor, John Wilson, defended himself so strongly against a charge of murder that the judge in the case congratulated him. He went on to be a judge himself, earning the nickname “Honest John.” Eventually he entered politics, being one of the founders of the forerunner of today’s Liberal Party and, when their policies were not radical enough for him, he helped to found the Ultra-Reform Party.

One of the persistent legends about Wilson is that, on June 13, the anniversary of the duel, he would shut himself in his study and sit in the dark, thinking about the event.

It is that legend that inspired The Last Deadman: the thought of what ideas might occur to this “ultra-reformer” when left to himself.

The play was a hit when produced in 1983 in a leaky tent, on the banks of the Tay River, just inside the gates of Last Duel Park. It was a hit, again, when revived for the 25th anniversary of the play (the 175th anniversary of the duel) in 2008, as well as having a number of productions over the years outside of Perth.

Now, the show is being presented at BarnDoor’s Full Circle Theatre on the other side of Last Duel Park, with the grave of the duel’s victim visible through the theatre’s windows. The theatre company really has come “full circle” and the location adds

a touch of importance to the production, which is being performed by a cast of local young people. The oldest actual participant in the duel was 23; it was very much a case of youthful rashness gone to extreme. The employers of the young men involved, Thomas Radenhurst and James Boulton, challenged each other to yearly duels, without anyone ever being hurt. Their apprentices didn’t understand.

While a drama, The Last Deadman is fast-paced, full of music and with plenty of humour as well. The show is a multi-media production, using video projection and sound to add extra layers to the play’s impact. Combined with the high-energy performances of its young cast, it’s a powerful production.

BarnDoor Productions (BDP) is following up with The Great Perth Temperance Soiree in July, an original show by Perth author Janet Coward, that traces the rise and fall of Perth’s Temperance movement in the 1800s, as told entirely through excerpts from the pages of the Perth Courier, starting with the first issues in 1834. Billed as “an evening of harmony, comedy and sobriety”, The Great Perth Temperance Soiree is full of humour, music and fun, as well as being very informative.

Then BDP brings back on of the biggest hits that Perth Summer Theatre had. Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oli-

ver’s Landing runs in August and it is a “musical chiller” about murder and mayhem in Rideau Ferry in the early days of the settlement. The largely true story is presented as a full-on- Broadwaystyle musical and it has been called “grim, clever, funny and thrilling, indeed!” by critics. It’s a show that will stay with you for a long time.

In the fall, the venue shifts, as BDP has reached an agreement with the Perth Community Choir to take over the production of the fourth show in the series. This one is something completely different and it’s all about a

small town – but definitely not Perth. Death & Taxes, The Musical is a toe-tapping, hands-clapping old-fashioned kind of musical for all ages.

There’s laughter and musical and great fun for everyone as the PCC add their voices to the celebration of community.

The Last Deadman runs June 10, 11, 16, 17, 18 at 8 p.m.; June 12 and 19 at 2 p.m. at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street.

Tickets are just $20 reserved; $22 at the door; students $10 at any time. To reserve, simply call 613 267

Quickie in Smiths Falls strengthens partnership with Community Home Support – Lanark County I met with Dave Cook, regional manager who has been with Quickie for more than 20 years. He introduced me to Jenn Ashe a dealer with this store for 11 years.

We presented Dave and Jenn with a certificate of appreciation from our agency, Community Home Support – Lanark County. They have donated thousands of dollars over the past few years to our agency alone. They also donate to Big Brother Big Sisters of Lanark County, Community Living Smiths Falls and Lanark County, Smiths Falls Minor Hockey, Rotary Club, MS Society, Alzheimer Society of Lanark County and many more.

The Quickie Convenience Store at Elmsley and Beckwith Streets in Smiths Falls has been a fixture in this community for more than 20 years.

This is a local store, staffed by local people providing a one-stop shop experience which includes gas,

milk, bread, treats, and lottery tickets.

Quickie has been supporting many charities in our community the entire time it has sat at the top of Beckwith Street through Nevada ticket sales. Many of you may purchase these tickets and not really know they are a significant fundraiser in and around our area.

Jenn told me she loves serving the public and it is especially rewarding when she can help someone. Recently a customer came in to the store that had locked her keys in the car.

Jenn called someone to help her and gave her a cup of coffee while she waited. The customer called Jenn back and said how grateful she was for Jenn’s kindness.

Dave told me though he only gets to the store once a week he has also makes a connection with clients. He was once invited to a senior’s home to look at his memorabilia.

I asked them what they think is the key to their success? They said it

Financial Problems?

is a good company to work for; they listen to what the staff and clients need and they provide high quality customer service.

The money they donate to our agency provides many meals to seniors and adults living with an illness and/or disability.

Now, the next time you go to the Quickie Convenience Store you will know a little bit more about them.

PayByPhone now at your local conservation area Rideau Valley Conservation Authority’s (RVCA) new PayByPhone service is going to make visits to local conservation areas easier. Cash payment is no longer required. Complicated pay stations are not an issue. As long as you have a phone or computer, you are covered.

“Paying at our remote conservation areas has always caused challenges,” says Kristy Giles, RVCA conservation lands manager. “By using this PayByPhone service, it allows visitors to pay online through their phone or from their home computer, making it exceptionally convenient and reliable.”

Visitors can virtually buy day passes or even an annual pass from their home computer before they hit the road by visiting the paybyphone. com website or they can use a free app on their smart phone and do it at the site. The service allows two vehicles to be registered to an account, allowing families more flexibility in what vehicle they take on any given day.

“It’s simple, easy and safe (secure),” say Giles, noting that this application

is being used internationally by big cities to help efficiently manage parking, tolls and entry fees. Giles is excited to see public uptake and reaction; although she is quick to see the humour in how this high-tech solution come to the aid of a low-tech outdoor experience.

The PayByPhone service will be available at all user pay conservation areas, which include Baxter, Foley Mountain, Rideau Ferry, W.A. Taylor and Perth Wildlife Reserve. Visitors can sign up for a free account at www. paybyphone.com. Once registered, customers can simply use the mobile app, the internet, or a mobile phone to pay for parking.

RVCA will be launching this payment option for the summer opening of its conservation areas on the May long weekend. RVCA will continue with traditional payment options at some locations, but hopes to make the switch to full PayByPhone use in the next 16 months.

Dash-mounted cameras may have more than one use We’ve all chuckled at and been amazed by some of the videos that drivers have posted online courtesy of dash-mounted cameras. But other than entertainment purposes, are there any reasons to have such a device on board?

They can be a valuable tool when it comes to collisions, especially when dealing with potential traffic fines or insurance settlements or worse yet insurance fraud. I had a chance recently to try out one of the most advanced units on the market: Swann’s Navigator HD 1080 pixel dash camera. This unit retails for about $200 and is available from most electronic storefront and online retailers. It’s small but produces very clear and crisp pictures, even in low light and captures much of the view ahead thanks to a 140-degree lens. A big added benefit is a colour 2” monitor on the rear of the camera that takes all the guess work out of what you’re recording and if the camera is properly aimed. It also records audio.

This unit takes a micro SD memory card (not included) and a 16 GB option will give you more than 10 hours of recording time. Most electronic stores sell these cards in packages that come with the necessary adapters to plug them into your laptop or desktop PC. If the card becomes full, the camera will simply begin overwriting the existing files. But if built-in g-force sensors detect severe accelera-

tion or braking, the camera will lock those files preventing them from being overwritten. The footage also includes time, date, and location stamps providing a complete record of travel events.

Set up is quite easy thanks to a one-cord system and included vehicle power-point adapter. The unit comes on automatically when the vehicle is started and shuts down 10 seconds after the ignition is turned off. A secure suction cup holds it to the windshield and the suggested mounting point near the rearview mirror mount keeps it from being a distraction.

Tips of the week New Ontario safety standards coming into effect this summer will strictly limit the type of window tinting you can have on your car. This particular rule won’t retroactively affect vehicles already tinted because of the difficulty and expense of removing that film (it will affect vehicles built after Jan. 1, 2017). But if you’ve just bought a used vehicle with distracting or damaged tint and you want to tackle removing it yourself, try steaming it off. A hand held clothes or cleaning steamer directed at the inside of the glass can weaken the bond between the film and the glass allowing it to be peeled off without tearing.

This one came courtesy of a thoughtful reader.

One thing that I would do (to become familiar with new features and technology) is download the PDF manual for the particular car I was buying weeks before I took delivery and read it thoroughly. If I was unsure of something, I would go to the dealership and look at a similar vehicle, particularly the electronics. I have always done this in advance for any electronic device I would buy for the home, such as home theatre.

Explore the great outdoors and quilts in the garden June 18 Picture a beautiful Saturday in the quaint village of Richmond, during the month of June…blue skies, friendly faces, flowers, sunshine, gentle breezes, gardens.

How could you possibly improve upon that? Quilts in the Garden, that’s how! Mark June 18 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on your calendar for a ‘must-do’ visit to the village and be prepared to step back in time!

This quilt show and sale usually features well over 100 beautiful quilts and handmade items on display. These treasures have been lovingly created from those who are connected in some way to The Country Quilter of Richmond. This is the 14th year of the Quilts in the Garden event, which began back in 2002 and featured just 20 quilts for display.

The inspiration behind this show is Ann McLean, owner of The Country Quilter of Richmond. Walk into her cozy, country store on any given day, feel the welcome, the warmth, and witness the magic.

Here, ongoing classes are available in embroidery, knitting, machine piecing, long arm quilting and traditional hand-quilting, for beginners or veterans alike. Groups get together weekly to learn, improve and challenge

The grounds of The Country Quilter in Richmond will be filled with more than 100 quilts and handmade items June 18 for the annual Quilts in the Garden showcase. Also included in the day will be a used book sale fundraiser for CANHAVE, a registered charity that sends HIV/AIDS-affected orphans from Uganda to school. their skills, or monthly to make comfort quilts for local shelters, or maybe fidget quilts for Alzheimer patients. All classes feature the newest fabrics, richest colours and latest techniques, as well as competent, knowledgeable, passionate instructors. However, it is the warmth,

friendship, laughter and support of The Country Quilter that is most evident. And McLean is the heart and soul of this.

There is no charge to the Quilts in the Garden event on June 18, which also features local work from an artist-in-residence couple, Carol and Pete Mar-

shall from Manotick (aka The Quilting Couple). JC’s Mobile Sharpening Service will be on hand from 10 a.m. until noon, to sharpen your scissors, rotary cutters, knives or lawn care tools, for minimal cost.

Something else near and dear to McLean is a used book sale fundraiser for CANHAVE. This is a registered charity that sends HIV/AIDS-affected orphans from Uganda to school. Last year, enough money was raised from the book sale to send two children to school in Uganda, for one year. There will also be a quilt raffle to support CANHAVE, as well as an impressive doll display and sale from All Dolled Up. Complimentary Bridgehead coffee, courtesy of CC’s Corner in Richmond, will be available right in the garden, and the lovely ladies of St. Paul’s United Church next door, will be serving up a delicious lunch for $10.

It promises to be an inspiring and uplifting day. Please join us in the gardens of The Country Quilter, 3444 McBean Street, in the village Richmond. Directions can be found on our website: https://thecountryquilter.ca/ or call 613-838-5541 for information.

Newest Heritage House Museum exhibit brings colour into Victorian decor Stacey Roy

sroy@metroland.com

A rainbow of colours welcomes visitors to the Heritage House Museum’s newest exhibit entitled, Kaleidoscope of Victorian Colours.

The displays provide an incredible sampling of the creativity and joy the Victorians found in coloured glass.

All of the pieces come from Paul Byington’s larger personal collection he amassed over 50 years from locations around the world. All the pieces seen in the exhibit date back to 1880-1910, which Byington and many collectors regard as the golden age of glass making since craftsmen not only experimented with colour but also texture.

Byington explains there was a time during the creative drive that glassmakers attempted to make glass look like other things. This experimentation was driven by a growing middle class who demanded prettier things to decorate their living spaces and dining room tables. In fact, Byington said many of his pieces are table wares since the Victorians valued colour as much as they did usefulness.

“The exhibit is really to show people various colours, shapes and sizes and patterns that were used in Victorian coloured glass,” Byington said.

The name of the show was inspired by a Christmas present Byington bought his granddaughter last year.

Watching the girl play with her present Byington was struck by the colours and it brought to mind his lifelong collection of Victorian glass. The Smiths Falls area man said he hopes visitors will be able to truly appreciate the workmanship in each piece and

the beauty.

Carol Miller, curator at Heritage House Museum said she and Byington took his purpose for the exhibit to heart and made sure to have a few information panels available so visitors can simply get lost in the cranberry colours that surround them. The exhibit also placed certain pieces in the window so their colour will wash over the entire room.

It was the colour of the glass that first attracted the attention of Byington in 1953 when at the age of 13 he attended an auction in his hometown of Portland with just five cents in his pocket. While there he spied a cranberry glass pickle cruet amongst the many possessions for sale and, as Byington recalls, the auctioneers that day took pity on him and let him bring the piece home for his own where it has remained ever since.

Victorian glass sale This exhibit of Victorian glass will be on display at the Smiths Falls museum until Oct. 30, 2016 and then will never be seen again. Byington said his plan is to sell a large portion of his vast collection this fall before downsizing.

“At 76 years of age it’s time to move on,” Byington said.

The area collector has selected three glass pieces that will be on display at the museum gift shop through the exhibit period. For a $5 donation to the museum visitors can put their name in the draw to win one of these beautiful pieces. Byington is also working with museum staff to identify glass pieces that would be suitable to donate to the museum.

“It’s not very often that you get Victorian items donated,” Miller added.

“We’re very honoured and excited.”

The museum does have some period glass already in its collection.

When the museum opened in 1981 Byington worked with the volunteers to provide period pieces that would demonstrate life in the 1880s when the

home was built. The museum’s dining room chairs were sourced by Byington at that time.

The exhibit was formally launched at a wine and cheese opening May 12 where Montague antique collector, Bill Dobson had the honour of introducing his mentor Byington to the crowd assembled. Miller said the

night was a fantastic opportunity for both men to share their passions for the treasures of the past and reminisce over good times.

“You could see the excitement in both of their eyes,” Miller said.

Be sure to stop by and see this unique assemble of glass before it is gone Oct. 30.

Provincial and town police kept busy with incidents

Brooke Henderson

HENDERSON

From FRONT page

“Yeah, overall it was a solid week,” Henderson said following her round.

“It’s always nice to see your name up near the top of the leaderboard and it’s been a few weeks since that happened for me, so today was definitely a solid day for me. I missed some opportunities, but I also made up for a couple here on the back nine, so overall I’m happy.”

She said there are some things she needs to work on in the immediate future.

“There’s definitely things I have to work on going into next week. Some silly mistakes early in the week and even today a couple, but overall I’m very happy with how things are going and hopefully just be able to finish it off in the near future.”

Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand cruised to an easy victory with a 5-under 67 on Sunday and a 15-under par total of 273 for the tournament – her third straight. Christina Kim of the U.S. took second at 10-under with a one-under 71 in the final round. Her first day was an incredible 8-under 64 that was highlighted by seven birdies and an eagle.

This week, Henderson is competing in the ShopRite LPGA Classic presented by Acer in Galloway, NJ.

Investigation into fatal continues Professional re-constructionists have concluded their work on site of the fatal collision site on Kitley Line 2 as part of a Special Investigations Unit (SIU) investigation into the death of an 18-year old male.

On May 18, 2016 at approximately 8:20 p.m. OPP officers witnessed a vehicle driving fast on County Road 17.

The male driver succumbed to his injuries while being transported to hospital. An autopsy was planned for the week of May 23, but its results will be kept confidential until the SIU provides its conclusions to the public.

Smiths Falls man $1 million richer Wednesday, May 11 is a very special day for Kenneth Murchland of Smiths Falls and his family.

“It was the day we got the best possible news about my wife. She had been dealing with some serious health issues and on that day we found out that treatment had been successful,” shared Kenneth. On that same day, Kenneth also celebrated a big lottery win after learning he was the owner of a $1 million ENCORE ticket (May 11 ONTARIO 49). Kenneth matched six of seven winning numbers on his ENCORE selection. He also won $10 for matching three of six winning numbers on his ONTARIO 49 selection.

“I waited until the day after I bought my tickets to check my numbers,” recalled Kenneth while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto where he picked up his big cheque. “I had three tickets to check. The third ticket which was for an ONTARIO 49 play with ENCORE was the big winner.”

Kenneth checked his numbers one by one.

“And one by one, they all matched up. I thought to myself, ‘Clearly I’m doing something wrong.’

So I turned to my wife and asked her to double check the numbers. She turned to me and said, ‘Well, you won something.’ I leaned over and whispered, ‘Yeah, it’s a million bucks!’ and my wife replied, ‘No you didn’t!’”

Kenneth is the father of two daughters and grandfather of three. “My wife sent me straight to the corner store. I scanned the ticket. I had to check twice to be sure. Both times the screen read, ‘Big Winner – $1 million!’”

Excited to learn he was a millionaire, Kenneth returned home to confirm to his wife what they both suspected. “We called our daughters right away to share the good news. Well, actually, my wife shared the news because my favourite show was on tv,” laughed Kenneth. “The next day, I called OLG and then I returned to the store to validate the ticket. That was almost two weeks ago and I haven’t slept much since then.”

Travel plans are already underway for Kenneth and his family. “We will be celebrating my wife’s birthday in June with a fun trip to Vegas.

You can also bet there will be a ‘girls’ getaway down the road for my wife and daughters. And we are in the planning stages of a top-secret special treat for everyone. Winning the lottery Photo courtesy OLG makes me feel absolutely elated,” concluded Kenneth.

Several service clubs banded together to raise $5,675.25 for the Canadian Red Cross’ relief efforts for the more than 80,000 evacuees from the wildfires that consumed a part of Fort McMurray, Alberta.

Prairie wildfires may have done their worst to Fort McMurray, Alberta, but in that dark hour, Smiths Falls’ service clubs were at their best.

The Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion hosted members of the Civitan Club, Kinsmen Club, Lions Club, and Rotary Club, on Friday, May 20, for a joint spaghetti dinner, which netted more than $5,675.25 for the Canadian Red Cross’ humanitarian efforts in northeastern Alberta.

The cheque was presented to Joanna Luciano, senior manager of donor relations and gift planning at the Canadian Red Cross, at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club hall, during the start

of the Smiths Falls Citizen of the Year ceremony on Thursday, May 26.

The initial planning was done quite quickly when the bright idea was hatched that “perhaps we should band together to do something for Fort Mac,” said Gary “Beep” Dalgleish, representing the Kinsmen Club. “We cobbled it together,” he joked.

Luciano thanked the community for their donation, which was part of the larger $150 million that Canadians from coast to coast to coast have raised for the 80,000 plus evacuees, which is “giving them immediate cash for their needs,” she said.

Mayor Shawn Pankow commended the service clubs for their hard work in helping their fellow Canadians in a time of need.

Friends of the Smiths Falls Library are once again holding their popular fund raising book sale. Daniel Street, beside the library, will be closed from 9.30 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. on June 5 to accommodate the giant sell-off of books, in hardcover and paperback, drawn from the Library itself or contributed by supporters.

“As always, we have an exceptional collection of new hardcovers in the book sale,” Karen Schecter, librarian, reports. “And, of course, we have hundreds of children’s books for all ages.”

Something special this year: vouchers have been distributed to all primary school children in Smiths Falls offering a free book to each child who brings a voucher to the sale. Proceeds from the sale of the books go to support library programs, particularly literacy programs for young people.

Timmons named top cadet during Battle of the Atlantic service in Almonte Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Megan Timmons said she was shocked and surprised to win this year’s top cadet honours during the Battle of the Atlantic ceremonies at the Almonte Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 May 29.

“I didn’t know,” she said, when asked if she had any idea she was going to win the Royal Canadian Legion Medal of Excellence. “It was a nice surprise.”

The young cadet from Franktown has been a member of the RCSCC (Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps) Lanark for the past five years. She’s reached the rank of Chief Petty Officer Second Class.

Timmons said she enjoys her time in cadets but wants to become a police officer, and may parlay those studies into the navy at some point.

In his nomination letter to the branch, Lt (N) Matthew Hinds of RCSCC Lanark stated that Timmins was an obvious choice.

“Through her hard work and dedication to the cadet program over the past five years, Megan was appointed as coxswain of our corps this year,” he wrote in his letter.

Timmons’ accomplishments indicate the trust and reliance that the CIC (Communication Information Centre) staff have in her abilities, Hinds stated.

“I have watched her progress rapidly from a relatively shy and timid cadet to her present role… she is organized, efficient,

extremely competent and has an excellent rapport with all the cadets and staff in our corps,” Hinds wrote.

Hinds cited Timmons’ proficiency in communication, and in training, as she has completed all mandatory and optional training.

She also supports the Navy League branch and RCL through fundraising.

Timmons was presented with her certificate from Ronald Buck, retired vice admiral, who attended the ceremonies. The North Gower man said it’s a pleasure to see young people so active in cadets.

There are 235 sea cadet corps in Canada, with 8,490 youth involved.

“And that’s just sea cadets,” said Buck, who was also the reviewing officer of the afternoon. “That’s not to mention, the army and air force cadets.”

Memorial service The memorial service was held inside at the branch due to the 32-degree weather heat and humidity.

Those gathered remembered the veterans lost in the Canadian Merchant Navy – some 1,464 seamen at sea during the Battle of the Atlantic. This includes those lost while service aboard 278 Canadian and allied ships.

A total of 73 Canadian Merchant Ships were sunk. Aboard a number of these ships were gunners of the Canadian Army to provide defense.

The Royal Canadian Air Force lost 348 aircraft and 918 air crew members during

Progress Fans of the Smiths Falls parks system are raving about the successful installation of a pedestrian bridge that links Murphy Park to Turtle Island. Above is a photo taken by Craig Bolton of crews installing the prefabricated structure earlier this season. The dam bridge is one of three that was scheduled to be replaced following the 2012 flood that washed out the abutments and compromised the integrity of the bridges.

Council approved the pre-fab option last year with hopes that they would be installed in time for the 2016 tourism season. If you have a photo to share, please drop by the office at 65 Lorne St., Smiths Falls, or email the news editor, Laurie Weir, at ljweir@metroland.com.

Canadian Tire, Smiths Falls, hosted a big Jumpstart party on Saturday with lots of activities for young and the young at heart. Here, volunteers and kids join in for a group photo. More photos inside.

Realities of Today

eaders who know my husband, Desmond Devoy, know his most prized possession is his scrapbook filled with newspaper banners. Since he was a young boy looking through international newspapers his father brought home from Pearson Airport in Toronto, my husband has delighted in the artistry and message that the top portion of the front page gives its readers. I’ve enjoyed looking through the pages on occasion, but I would never tell hubby that – it just gets him going on an hour-long talk about the history of each one. If you are stealth like me and have a chance to glimpse the scrapbook pages you will see cities such as New York, Paris, Dublin and Toronto represented, but the clipping that makes me most proud is of a monthly business paper called Business Today.

Anyone who shops at a grocery store in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville may have seen it sitting in the newspaper stand. I remember the first time I saw it – the first time I walked into the office at 65 Lorne St. in June 2002.

The position of reporter for Business Today was why I was hired at Performance Printing at the time. I was so excited to be part of a startup, and for something so important as business no less!

I remember our editor, Ryland Coyne taking me on a tour of the building that first day and then sitting me down at my desk beside his office with two assignments to be done before I left that day. The rush of names and faces made me dizzy, as I sat there, bag on desk wondering how one reports on housing statistics when Ryland popped his head out of the office to give me a big smile and a “welcome” before retreating back behind the door frame.

Those were exciting days where I had the unique opportunity to travel the tri-county area and become familiar with the places and the movers and shakers. Over the five years I worked as Business Today’s sole reporter I can recall many key interviews from the rise of downtowns undergoing revitalization projects to the fall of manufacturing. At the time, I was writing a lot about a new concept known as broadband. I have to chuckle now remembering how

STACEY ROY For the Record I wrote a paragraph explaining the concept of broadband to my readers and how it would revolutionize the way business was done. Even in those early days people could see the implications for small and home-based business, which has since borne fruit. We have seen the creation of business incubators in Brockville and Smiths Falls and welcomed many small business success stories as a result. No matter what the headline, Business Today was there since 2002 to share the news with everyone across the counties.

The paper lost its full-time reporter in 2006, but continued on with teamwork from all my colleagues until this year. I really feel the strength of the newspaper was in its ability to connect businesses from Pakenham to Gananoque and share those best practices across geographic lines and chambers of commerce. Today, businesses do this online where Business Today is also well represented (www. insideottawavalley.com).

As well Business Today can be found on Facebook (Business Today – Metroland Media). Sadly, as of next month the dot-com world will be the only home Business Today has as the last printed version ran off the press this May. I suppose this move is just another example of how Business Today rides the curve of progress, but in this case it isn’t reporting it as much as it is living it.

Many newspapers have retired their print editions in favour of online and now news formats, including notable labels such as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in the United States and the UK’s Independent which has announced in February that it will be going on-line only.

Council approves community Breathe Dance recital to benefit Fort Mac grants for Merrickville-Wolford Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

Jennifer Westendorp j.westendorp@metroland.com

Just under $10,000 in community grants was approved by Merrickville-Wolford council on May 24.

“We cut back a fair bit this year because we are trying to keep our tax rate lower,” said Mayor David Nash.

The funds will be distributed as follows: $2,400 for the Merrickville and District Historical Society; $4,000 for the Agricultural Society; $1,500 for the Friends of the Rideau; $1,000 for Christmas in Merrickville, and $1,000 for the Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC).

The community grants are comparable to last year’s, with the exception of Christmas in Merrickville and the KYC. In 2015, Christmas in Merrickville requested a grant of $2,500 and received $700. This year, the request was for $3,000. The KYC did not submit a request in 2015.

In addition to the community grants, the township also provided a grant of $12,000 to the Hub Pool, located at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls, and just under $20,000 to the Town of Smiths Falls for cost sharing of their arena.

“The $20,000 covers cost sharing for 2014, 2015 and 2016,” explained Nash.

The cost sharing initiative with Smiths Falls, which allows Merrickville-Wolford residents access to recreation facilities, has historically amounted to $9,000 annually for the past decade. The $20,000 was taken from the recreation reserve fund.

“Any resident who uses the rink this year is covered because of this agreement,” said Nash.

“They were billing residents of MerrickvilleWolford to use the rink, so the municipality came to an agreement to prevent residents from being billed.”

Nash explained a meeting is set in June with Smiths Falls to look at the new cost sharing formula being proposed to the five municipalities that use the facility.

“If one of our strategic goals is a healthy community, then we need to be doing these things,” said Nash.

He explained the outdoor rink in Merrickville was only open for about 20 days during this year.

“About the same number of days as the Rideau Canal,” said Nash. “Climate change is making an outdoor rink not viable. We need to have this agreement in place so people can skate.”

There is no cost sharing agreement in place with the Municipality of North Grenville for usage of their arena.

Blockhouse Festival June 4-5 The Merrickville Blockhouse Festival presents a mosaic of our history with bateau men, fur traders, quilters, traditional bagpipe and fiddle music, and a variety of heritage exhibits the weekend of June 4 and 5. Those are just a few of the active displays under the marquees and on the Blockhouse Green from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

“Last year many of the participants asked for a two-day event, so we’ve obliged them,” said Ann Martin, President of the Merrickville and District Historical Society.

“The festival explores many facets of our heritage, and we want to give the public every opportunity to enjoy the activities laid on by

New this year is the English Country Dance open to all at the Merrickville Legion at 7 p.m.

Sat. June 4. Experienced dancers in Regency clothing will offer instruction to those who wanting to dance like the characters in a Jane Austin movie.

The official season opening of the Blockhouse Museum Sat. at 1:30 p.m. features awards to local students for their essays and art inspired by local history.

There is no charge to participate in any of the activities. For more information, the public may contact info@merrickvillehistory.org.

It’s a small studio with a big heart.

Breathe Dance Company in Merrickville is hosting a year-end recital at St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville on June 4, with a portion of the proceeds going to those affected by the Fort McMurray wildfires.

“We wanted to do something for Fort McMurray that our entire studio and community could have a part in,” said Lindsay Roney, owner and director of Breathe Dance Company.

“Planning for our year-end recital was already in the works, so we thought it would be a great idea to tie in the fundraiser.”

All 60 dancers, including the competitive dance team, will be participating in the recital.

There will be a total of 40 performances. Doors open at 1:45 p.m. and the show kicks off at 2 p.m. The show is expected to last two hours.

“It’s a small studio and a small community, but by coming together we have the ability to make a big difference for people who need help,” said Roney.

One dollar from every ticket sold will go to Fort Mac. Tickets, which cost $12, will be available at the door. To reserve a ticket, contact Roney directly by emailing breathedanceco@ gmail.com or calling (613)-206-7007.

“There will also be a donation jar for Fort McMurray upon entrance of the theatre, should anyone wish to donate further,” she said.

Regional Heritage Fair marks dark moments, celebrates family heroes

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Grace Thompson will never forget what Canada’s First Nations endured during the Residential Schools era.

The Grade 7 student at Lombardy Public School had one of the more contemporary and yet ancient displays at the Regional Heritage Fair at the Royal Canadian Legion in Perth on Friday, May 20.

It is a story that, in many ways, is as old as Canada itself – and yet the repercussions of the schools, the last of which closed in 1996, are still being felt.

“I thought that they happened a long time ago,” admitted Thompson, who later won a special First Nations commendation award at the fair’s awards ceremony at the Studio Theatre. But instead, she found out that “it’s a very current topic…because of the apologies,” and because many survivors are still alive.

“It started a long time ago,” she explained. “I knew that they were really bad.” What surprised her was the “number of people” affected by these schools, where First Nations children were separated from their parents, forbidden to speak their native languages, were robbed of their heritage and ways of life and instead taught “western” ways.

Before she began digging

into her research, she knew a bit about the subject, from what she had gleaned on the news.

“I know that they would hurt people, but I didn’t suspect some of the other ones (stories),” she said.

One such story that turned her stomach was that the food served at the schools had “no nutritional value,” and that, in some schools, there were maggots in the porridge. She said she can see why there continues to be repercussions from this dark episode in Canadian history even today.

Before she began, “people were saying, ‘It is a tough project to mark or judge or do,’” she said.

Family ties Other displays were less sombre, but did show that our history can be closer at hand than we think, and a celebrity may be in your midst, and you may not even know it.

Like many boys, St. John Catholic Elementary School student Matt Niceliu is proud of his father, Stacey Niceliu, who works at the OPP’s eastern regional detachment headquarters just outside of Smiths Falls, but whose back story may surprise you.

He was born in Winona, Ont., in 1966, and was scouted to try out for the Hamilton Tiger Cats in the Canadian Football League (CFL), having played high school football.

Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

Grade 7 Lombardy Public School student Grace Thompson stands in front of her display on Canada’s Residential Schools.

He later joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1982, being dispatched to the Argyll and Southerland Highlanders, based in Hamilton, Ont. He would later go on to play a bit part in the comedy Police Academy III: Back in Training, which came out in 1986, as well as The Return of Billy Jake, also released in 1986.

He played a bodyguard in the latter movie and a police officer in the former, so it is no surprise, considering

his history in uniform that he would go on to join the OPP. “Most people were expected to do hockey, (like) Sidney Crosby and Wayne Gretzky,” said Matt.

“I was going to do the Canadian military. I thought it would be good for props.” As for his father, “I didn’t know a lot about him,” but he soon discovered his budding military, acting, and sporting careers.

While Stacey never put on the Tiger

Cats jersey, Kacie Rintoul certainly showed off her white-and-blue colours in her Perth Blue Wings jersey at her display of the hometown heroes.

“It’s interesting that Perth owned our hockey team,” she said of the community ownership structure of the team, up until the time that businessman Michael McLean bought the team in 2013.

“They used to play outside on the Tay Canal.”

Investing in new and better ways for all Ontarians to get the care they need means: • 700 new doctors and specialists • 35 hospitals currently being renewed, modernized or expanded • $250 million invested in home and community care • $345 million invested to improve wait times and access to care These investments ensure a strong health care system for both today and tomorrow.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Rideau Canal is heritage site of shame, says reader DEAR EDITOR,

All of us who live near or use the Rideau Canal are pleased with the announcement of millions of dollars into repairs and upgrades.

This is most welcoming, but I am going to talk about the dismal hours of operation! When I was young, during prime time the lock stations were open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. At the present time, if you don’t land at the lock station before 5:30 p.m. all you get is, ‘closed for the day.’ This

is totally unacceptable with several hours of daylight remaining. There were plenty of summer students hired to keep the operation running. Funny that when fees began to be charged we got less service for more!

Next item is the pitiful state of the waterway. There are portions almost closed off due to weeds and goop in the river. There was a time when the weed harvesters kept this waterway open.

To you boaters who toss garbage, beer cans, cigarette butts into the

river, I say, “Shame on you!”

The Rideau Canal is supposed to be a world heritage site (UNESCO).

Due to poor hours of operation and dreadful water conditions, in my opinion, it is more like a World Heritage Site of Shame.

Do we or do we not want to encourage tourists to use it and spend money in the local communities?

We can and must do better.

Canoeing author to share experience Cross-country paddler Max Finkelstein will visit Smiths Falls June 9 to share the experiences that led him to write two books about his travels.

After spending the summers of 1997, 1998 and 1999 paddling across the country following the route of early explorer Alexander Mackenzie, Finkelstein wrote “Canoeing a Continent,” first published in 2002. He is also the author of “Paddling the Boreal Forest,” a 2004 book describing canoe voyages across Labrador and northern Quebec in the wake of 1890s geographer A.P. Low. Finkelstein will describe these experiences in a presentation at the Kinsmen Pavilion in Lower Reach Park, Smiths Falls at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 9. Admission is free.

In 1994 Finkelstein, who has a science background and had been working mostly as a writer for Parks Canada, was hired as a com-

munications specialist for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System. “That position was almost made for a person like me,” he said.

Retracing the routes taken by explorers like Alexander Mackenzie and A.P. Low gave Finkelstein enormous respect for what they and the early voyageurs had done. “It’s more than an appreciation, it’s awe for both those guys,” he said. “That they could travel so far with pretty limited resources shows me people were really tough.”

Finkelstein’s desire to encourage people to celebrate their heritage by continuing to use replicas of these early canoes led him to become a founding member of the volunteer committee organizing Rideau Paddlefest, held in Smiths Falls each summer.

The third annual Paddlefest, featuring voyageur canoe races, will be held at Lower Reach Park Saturday, Aug. 6.

Cycle tour comes through next weekend The Ottawa Bicycle Club will be holding its annual Rideau Lakes Cycle along the routes through the Rideau Lakes area on June 11 and 12.

The event contributes to the enhancement of tourism in the area since many of the participants are from outside the region, such as southern Ontario, Quebec and New York State.

And, although many riders are very accomplished cyclists, we also have a large number of family groups ranging in age from eight to 10 all the way to 86 years!

“From our perspective the objective is to make residents and road users aware of the

fact that a larger than normal number of cyclists will be on these roads on this weekend.

We hope this will help readers to understand any delays or congestion that may occur and therefore contribute to the overall safety of our event,” said Ric Pottor, organizer of the event.

This year the event, with about 2,000 cyclists, will take place Saturday June 11 (starting from Ottawa to Kingston) and Sunday June 12 (Kingston to Ottawa).

Please watch for cyclists during this busy weekend event.

Big accomplishments for local athletes at Special Olympics Provincial Games Local athletes from Special Olympics Perth and District had great success at the 2016 Provincial Spring Games, which took place May 26 to 28 in Guelph, Ont. Mathew Capello, Cheryl Young and members of our Perth Hoops D level basketball team, completed against athletes from other Special Olympics communities throughout Ontario at the three-day event.

Over 1,000 athletes competed in swimming, 5 pin bowling, basketball, rhythmic gymnastics, and power lifting. Almost 500 volunteers helped pull off the event.

Capello earned a bronze in the 100 individual medley with a time of 2:17.82. The Provincial Games are becoming a habit for him, having competed in previous games in 2012, where he won four medals. Capello also placed fifth in both the 50 and 100 freestyle swim events. With his good attitude and love of swimming, he has managed to swim very well in every meet he attends.

Young of Smiths Falls was chosen to represent the East Division at the Games in 5 pin bowling. She bowled a total of 138 in six games, unfortunately

missing the podium this time.

Young competed hard and had a great time.

The D level Perth Hoops Basketball Team of Justin Poirier, Justin Leeder, Chris Slade, Chris Purdy, Zach Johnstone, Todd Vanalstine, Lora Brunshaw and Andy Kennedy played three games over the weekend and earned bronze medals. Their first game against a team from London, was a difficult loss at 20-8.

However, the team persevered with a big win against Kingston, 30-10, later that day. Their hopes at competing in the gold medal game were ruined when they lost their Saturday morning game to a team from St. Catharines.

Local Special Olympics coaches Terry Fox, Eve Korhonen, Sue Park and Shawn Thomson provided last minute coaching tips and support.

Special Olympics Perth and District offers six sport activities throughout the year in bowling, softball, soccer, swimming, snowshoeing and basketball. For more information call 613-267-4467.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest source of revenue for Special Olympics Ontario, which supports over 19,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run will be in: June 1 – Renfrew, (9:30 a.m. at the county building) and Arnprior (1 p.m. at the LCBO); June 2 – Perth (9 a.m. at the OPP Detachment on Highway 7); Carleton Place (11 a.m. at the OPP Detachment), and in Merrickville, 1:30 p.m. at the Merrickville Public School).

Back In Black: SFDCI tennis star Tom Morand, rocking both his racket and his red AC/DC baseball cap, strikes an intimidating pose in the high school hallway before his big trip to Markham, Ont. this week for the OFSAA championships.

SFDCI tennis star, top high school player in eastern Ontario, takes on province’s best at OFSAA this week Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

As Tom Morand stepped onto the court in Kingston for his final tennis match, he was really facing two opponents.

His opponent on the other side of the net, naturally... and his nerves.

Morand, a Grade 11 student at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI), was attending the EOSSAA (Eastern Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association) championships in Kingston in early May, to qualify for the OFSAA (Ontario Federation School Athletic Associations) championships happening this week (May 30 to June 1) in Markham, north of Toronto.

“I got a little nervous in the final (game) at EOSSAA…you’ve got to deal with the nerves, I guess,” said Morand. “I was hoping to make it to OFSAA.” So how did he deal with his nerves?

“I focussed on my play,” he said simply,

during an interview at the school on Friday, May 27.

The strategy paid off – he is now the top high school tennis player in all of eastern Ontario.

He learned to play the game at the age of eight, through his grandfather, who had been a trophy-winning player himself in his university days in Ottawa, although “he never played tennis until he went to university.”

“It’s my favourite sport to do,” he said. “It requires a lot of coordination, strategy.”

He began competitive play in Grade 9, and has already learned how to get inside his opponent’s head. “(I) find their weak spot, see their strategies,” he said. “I usually pick up pretty fast.”

He has been practising every day after school in preparation to take on the best of the best from around the province.

Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier, left, listens to Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leader Patrick Brown make a speech during a riding association barbecue at his farm outside of Perth on June 20, 2015.

Helping you enjoy life’s special moments

PC leader Patrick Brown could be guest of honour at Urban Jungle Patrick Brown likes to make Kathleen Wynne sweat at Queen’s Park.

Now, Smiths Falls town Coun. John Maloney wants to make Brown, the Ontario Progressive Conservative leader, sweat if he takes him up on his offer to attend the Urban Jungle obstacle course race Sunday, Aug. 7.

(To keep the sweat analogy going just a little bit further, while Brown may not be a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination south of the border, Brown may still make him “Feel the Bern,” to borrow the Vermont senator’s motto.)

“He hasn’t confirmed yet,” said Maloney, during his keynote speech at the Smiths Falls Citizen of the Year ceremony on Wednesday, May 25, of any attendance by the Simcoe North MPP. Mayor Shawn Pankow said that Maloney had asked Brown to attend during a meeting the three politicians attended in January.

“John didn’t give Mr. Brown much (of) a chance to say no,” said Pankow.

Maloney said that one of the reasons why he wanted to bring such a high-profile political name to the event was because he was having trouble attracting television coverage, “because of this thing called the Olympics.”

Maloney jokingly talked down the upcoming Perth Kilt Run on Saturday, June 25.

“Hopefully, we can do better than that Kilt Run. I think we can do better than that,” he said.

The Urban Jungle is a fundraiser for Lower Reach Park, a place where “all of the service clubs are there,” he said, their names emblazoned on everything from the tennis courts to the ball diamonds to the pavilion.

“This goes to show you what a great town this

is,” Maloney said. “I wish I had time to join all of your clubs.”

The clubs have also stepped up to the plate.

“There wasn’t a service club that didn’t write a cheque,” said Maloney. “How do you know when an event will go well? When the town participates,” he said, naming off several clubs and organizations.

Part of the idea for the sporting event came last year when he saw the 1980s era Participaction obstacles and health equipment being taken down at the park.

“We are taking something out that kids play on,” he said. This caused him concern since he recalled hearing that “kids need two hours of unsupervised play a day.” (However, he understood the reasoning that the equipment was removed: “They were getting old and deteriorating,” and were becoming a liability issue. “They needed to be removed.”)

Following in the wake of the Healthy Living Festival, Maloney said that this event really does cement Smiths Falls reputation as a healthy place to live.

“Fitness is really important to our community,” said Maloney. “We’re hoping it’s an annual thing.”

There had been much discussion at the ceremony of the falling membership of service clubs throughout the town.

“If you want volunteers, you’ve got to show the fun,” said Maloney. He was a member of one area service club that, at one point, was down to six members, but, through hard work and perseverance, it reversed its fortunes.

The race itself is more than 9km, and winds its way through cars, trains, walls, stairs, water, roads, hills, obstacles, and plenty of mud. The race is free for children under the age of 17.

Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

Football in the Falls returns June 4 to Lower Reach Park It was only 10 short years ago minor football returned to the Smiths Falls area. To celebrate the Smiths Falls Minor Football Association will once again host their annual “Football in the Falls” festival on the weekend.

Saturday, June 4 marks the sixth anniversary of this event, which is highlighted by four back-toback home games played at Lower Reach Park. The day is big one in the Smiths Falls Renegade football community. The games are played in an atmosphere complete with a large tailgate barbecue, draws, sound system and even a guest appearance, before noon, by a very recognizable member of the Ottawa Redblack community. The first kick off of the day will take place at 9 a.m. with three more games to follow. The final kickoff will take place at 2:15.

The Smiths Falls Renegade program

draws players from the Smiths Falls, Perth and surrounding townships and participates in the Rideau Youth Football League (RYFL). The RYFL provides a place to play for over 600 youth, aged eight to 17 in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville area and has over 20 teams competing in four divisions.

Mark Pankow, president of the Smiths Falls program, said he is excited about the day and expects large crowds once again this year. He cites the picturesque venue alongside the Rideau Canal, and the great job that volunteers do to make it an entertaining and festive atmosphere, as being paramount to the day’s success.

“Football in the Ottawa and Seaway valley continues to enjoy great popularity. The return of professional football to Ottawa has also had a positive impact,” stated Pankow.

He also noted that significant changes continue to be rolled out in football throughout Canada, provides parents with the confidence that their child’s safety is the most important consideration in a coaches planning.

One of the most notable changes that rolled out is the expanded Safe Contact program for coaches. This began several years ago. According to Pankow, coaches within the Renegades program have always had to maintain NCCP and safe contact qualifications, but this new program is much more intensive and deliberate in the approach to teaching contact and using appropriate drills to teach.

Football Canada, the governing body of football in the country as well as its provincial counterpart, the OFA, has mandated new coaching standards, alongside the Safe Contact program, to bring all football

Scramble format, fun at twilight golf Remax and New Horizon Communications teamed up to sponsor the May 26 edition of the SFG&CC’s Thursday Night Men’s Twilight, offering up a seemingly endless prize table for the patrons. The format was scramble and the theme was fun.

Evan Jeffreys, Eric Maitland, Seth Baker, Adam Summers, Bob Griffith, and Bryce McCallum tore up the front nine to claim victory.

Dan Cyr, Greg Hull, Gerry Edwards, and Justin Jennings posted the low score on the back.

One of Greg’s shots even counted.

The Roosteraunt closest to the pin prizes went to Rob Crogie and Wayne Palmer for their precise tee shots on holes 8 and 14.

Seth Baker and Nate O’Neil stuck their approach shots tight on holes 4 and 17, earning them some Burns Jewellers bling.

The Town and Country Chrysler longest drives of the evening were sent into orbit by

Adam Summers (big surprise!) and Nic Coates on holes 5 and 13.

Greg Hull and Rob Dales won the pro shop draw, and Ron Bernicky will be teeing up his Rocky’s Road Rash ball for a chance at the closing’s big hole in one prize. Keep it dry, Ron!

“The teaching techniques and the drills have all changed dramatically in

the past ten years.”

Pankow also credits his coaches for the time that they have committed to their personal coaching development.

of intense on-field action under the late spring sun in the EOSSAA championships.

Volunteers needed for Canada Day activities in Ottawa region Canadian Heritage is looking for motivated volunteers who would like to help with the celebrations on July 1 at the three official locations in Canada’s Capital Region: Parliament Hill and Major’s Hill Park in Ottawa and the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau.

Volunteers will be asked to wel-

“Volunteers play a major role in making the Canada Day festivities run smoothly. It is in large part thanks to the dedication, commitment and

Guatemala Stove Project AGM highlights year’s accomplishment and 6,000-stove milestone Saturday, June 5 the Guatemala Stove Project will be holding its 16th Annual General Meeting at McMartin House from 1 to 3 p.m. in Perth. All are welcome to learn about the work that the GSP does and to listen to Samuel, a Mayan mason that builds stoves for the GSP in Guatemala.

The GSP is a locally operated nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to helping some of the poorest people in the world – the indigenous Maya people of the western highlands of Guatemala. Like three billion other people on our planet, they cook over open fires inside their simple homes.

The indoor air pollution from these cooking fires takes a significant toll on the health and life expectancy of all family members, but hits young children and women the hardest.

The main focus of the GSP is to raise funds to build safe, efficient cooking stoves that greatly improve the health and daily living conditions of recipient families. The efficient stoves also reduce families’ wood fuel needs by half.

This reduces local deforestation and means that families have more choices in how to use their limited resources.

This can often be a key step in breaking the cycle of poverty. In addition to stove building the GSP also arSubmitted photo ranges micro-loans, funds education The Guatemala Stove Project will host their annual general meeting Sunday at McMartin House, Perth, scholarships and provides funding for relief efforts and sustainable develop- from 1 to 3 p.m. where guests will hear about the accomplishments over the past year as well as learn about ment projects in western Guatemala. the milestone 6,000 stoves built for families in Guatemala.

We have just completed our 16th year working with NGOs in Guatemala and have surpassed the 6,000 cook- stove milestone!

Every year the GSP organizes a volunteer trip to the western highlands of Guatemala. This trip exposes adventurous travellers to the living conditions of the developing world, giving intimate access and insight into the plight of the poor. Each year the beautiful spirit of the Mayan people enthrals and inspires all who have made the journey and many become ongoing volunteers with the GSP. In fact, volunteers are the fuel of the GSP. They come from all walks of life and backgrounds, and contribute in a variety of ways. When they work together, incredible things happen and many lives are changed! This spring we inaugurated a successful fund raising event, “A Mother of A Dinner”.

With local chef Judy Dempsey leading the volunteer team, a delicious meal was prepared and served to 180 appreciative guests. The Perth Lion’s Hall, generously donated for this event by the Perth Lions Club was a perfect setting.

Brad Mills’ piano playing provided relaxing ambience and the table settings and centrepieces created a warm, family feeling.

To learn more about the project and the work this determined group of volunteers undertake, drop in to McMartin House this Saturday afternoon.

You never said I’m leaving You never said goodbye.

You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why.

A million times I needed you, A million times I cried.

If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone For part of me went with you, The day God took you home.

You were taken from us way too soon.
