REMEMBER
Community – The Smiths Falls Hospital Auxiliary held its first ever Crazy Toonie Auction on May 29 at the Smiths Falls Legion. Auxiliary members dressed in outfits made from duct tape – some original pieces to be sure. The evening featured an auction with several donated gift baskets. Organizers deemed it a success saying they hope to hold this as an annual event. Summer Gladysz, 3, and her mom Ashley Duncan of Jasper, model their duct tape dresses. Summer’s dress was made by her mother, while Duncan’s attire was a Shoppers Drug Mart wedding specialty.

Community - The old Loyal Orange Lodge at 42 William Street is getting a facelift and a whole new purpose. Amy Rensby and Darlene Maclachlan bought the building in March of this year and together are uncovering the treasures the building has to offer. “The moment we walked in we were surrounded by all the history of the Orange Lodge - the banners and photographs and all the history behind these doors,” said Rensby. The two women are planning to move their Yoga and Wellness Studio from Russell Street to the new location sometime this summer and add a new events catering and nutrition consulting business as well. Their first hurdle was the building’s zoning. As it turns out, because the building had been for sale for a little over a year, it was deemed vacant by the town and reverted back to residential. “It was originally zoned R5-X, and designated institutional in the Official Plan because it was an assembly hall. Unless it was in continuous use and the owner can demonstrate that it was in continuous use it reverts back to residential after six months,” explained Niki McKernan, town planner. So Rensby and Maclachlan had to apply for a zoning amendment to allow them to conduct their businesses on the premises. They had a couple of options with regard to zoning - they could apply for General Commercial or revive the R5-X zoning which would also allow the building to be turned into residential units in the future but limit commercial uses. “We all felt that the latter approach was more sensitive to the character of the neighbourhood and adjacent uses,” said McKernan. As a result the neighbours were notified and they were paying attention. The town received several letters from neighbours concerned about traffic, parking and noise levels or in support. In response, McKernan presented the parking and traffic concerns to the town’s Traffic Advisory Committee (TAC). In the end the valid concerns were put to rest by requiring the businesswomen to provide 14 parking spaces. “We’re still working on that, but having the yoga and fitness studios
downtown, encourages a lot of our clients to walk,” said Rensby. In the meantime TAC is encouraging residents to speak up if patrons of the new businesses violate any of the parking rules on the streets. The work has already begun on the interior of the building. Inside the front doors, the building is comprised of one beautifully proportioned hall with two separate areas at each end. “We’ll be setting up the fitness component and the yoga components of our business in here,” said Rensby with a sweep of her arm. The noise issue has been addressed with assurances from the business partners that their fitness and yoga businesses are not loud and boisterous. Any events they host at the hall will be respectful of the neighbours and the residential character of the neighbourhood. At the far end of the hall is a kitchen and at the near end, beside the front door, there are washrooms and access to an upstairs storage loft, which has been deemed unsafe and will have to be torn down as soon as a building permit can be secured. Once the loft is cleared out it will be possible to expose the original stained glass windows at the front of the building. “On the 23rd of June the front three stained glass windows will be exposed with Plexiglas installed on the outside,” said Maclachlan. Already the kitchen has been gutted, the hall has been painted and the walls have been repaired. “We’ll be putting in a new kitchen for the catering business,” said Rensby. The main thrust in all their efforts from the get-go has been to preserve and showcase the beauty and history of the building. “We offered the Loyal Orange Lodge that anything they wanted to leave behind we would look after it for them,” said Rensby. The upshot is they’ve been entrusted with three tapestries and a large original painting of Queen Victoria’s crown, which apparently used to hang at Frost and Wood. “What struck both of us was that you see all these building around being torn down and history being lost, and when we saw this building we realized that all of this history could have met the same fate,” said Rensby, “so we want to preserve it.”

Incumbent Hillier insists he is still a Hudak cabinet contender desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – If Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives form the next government at Queen’s Park on June 12, MPP Randy Hillier has not ruled himself out of contention for a cabinet position. The Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP was removed from his duties as the Tory Labour Critic last summer by Hudak, following a disagreement about labour legislation. But when pressed about the unlikelihood that a possible Hudak cabinet would not include Hillier amongst its ranks, Hillier bristled. “Why would you say it is not likely?” he asked. “You are reading far too much (into it.)” Hillier had a falling out with Hudak about legislation that would have allowed construction company Ellis Don to hire non-union workers. Hillier ended up voting with the NDP against the bill, and he was dismissed after internal emails sent by Hillier to party brass were leaked to the media. But Hillier said he feels that the fall-out may stand him well. “There is a level of regard that people have for shooting straight,” he said. “I would not suggest for a moment that, in the world of hypotheticals, that everything is set in stone.” His confidence stems, in part, he says, from his record in Toronto, where says he has “introduced more legislation than any other member at Queen’s Park,” including recall legislation, a bill calling for the repeal of Bill 119, tax and expenditure legislation – all told, about
14 bills introduced since 2011, seven more than the nearest member, who has introduced seven bills. He has also put forward 30 motions in the house, on everything from improving diagnostics and testing for Lyme disease to getting Carleton Place a new hospital. This is Hillier’s third election in seven years, first winning the seat in 2007, and while he sets that first race in a separate category, this election and the 2011 race, are, for him, carbon copies – including two of the three opposition candidates he is running against. This time out, however, some of the legislation he railed against two-and-a-half-years ago has come to fruition. The Green Energy Act, for example, passed in 2009 and became law a year later and now the full effects of that legislation are being felt, leading to one of this campaign’s front-and-centre issues. “The biggest issue is the ability to keep up with the cost of living,” said Hillier, the cost of hydro being “the most acute example of that…The people are just absolutely frustrated. It’s more than annoyed.” He pointed to a deal signed by the American state of New Hampshire with Hydro Quebec to purchase electricity at a rate of 4 ½ cents per kilowatt hour. In Ontario, however, “we put in place (a) 20-year contract to buy windmill power at 80 cents a kilowatt hour,” which has led to inflated energy costs. To combat this, Hillier said his party would ensure that there are no more solar or wind contracts put forward, would end green energy subsidies, and that local governments would have more control on the existing contracts. However,
Randy Hillier the contracts that have already been signed might be harder to regulate. “We do have the authority cancel those (existing) contracts, but their could be a very negative consequence to that,” said Hillier, as businesses need a certain level of confidence that contracts they sign with the government will be honoured. A PC government would also seek out cheaper hydro-electric contracts with Manitoba and Quebec, as well as resurrecting a Tory motion to get rid of the debt charge to clear the old Ontario Hydro debt. “From all the indicators, more than enough money has been taken from peo-

EMBERS CAN HELP MAKE YOUR VISION A REALITY
Planning your outdoor kitchen Spring has arrived and so have magazines filled with beautifully designed outdoor kitchens to dream about. The dream can become a reality with a practical plan in place. As with interior spaces the outdoor kitchen needs to be both functional and fit your lifestyle. Choosing a grill is the most important part of planning your outdoor kitchen. Embers offer a selection of grill sizes in natural gas and propane as well we carry the Big Green Egg charcoal BBQ. If you are interested in quick cooking you want a gas grill, if you want to experience the low smoked flavors of food adding a charcoal BBQ is a must. Knowing how you are going to use your space and a typical crowd size while using your outdoor kitchen will help with determine layout and which appliances should go in your outdoor
ple to discharge the debt,” said Hillier. However, the Liberals and NDP defeated this motion in the last session, though he promised it would be reintroduced after this month’s election. While the Green Party is bringing back its proposal for a carbon tax, Hillier’s party is proposing the polar opposite – a tax on green energy profits. “I don’t see any benefit in increasing the cost of living to people,” said Hillier. Over the last seven years, he said he is most proud of “my personal advocacy on the issues they (constituents) face. That is very rewarding for me.” He also pointed out that he is one of the few MPPs around to have their home phone number still listed in the phone book. One of the latest polls, for the Toronto Star, places the PCs neck-and-neck, at 36 per cent, with the Liberals, with the NDP at 20 per cent and the Greens at seven, but he refused to be drawn on how he thought the numbers would play out. “Polls and figures and statistics are a mug’s game,” he said. “The polls have been up and down and all around. Where will it be on June 12? I have no idea.” While Hudak has ruled out any coalition should Ontarians vote in another minority government, NDP leader Andrea Horwath has not. “Those things are beyond any one person’s control,” said Hillier, adding that the Liberals and NDP, in both the house and at the committee level, have voted together 97 per cent of the time in the last session. “We have had a de facto coalition for the last three years,” something he charged was dishonest to
the people of Ontario, and pointed to the “accord” government between David Peterson’s Liberals and Bob Rae’s NDP from 1985 to 1987, which was made public at the outset. “It is a moot point,” he said of any potential coalition talk. “I don’t know what will happen and to speculate what will happen…would be foolish.” At a number of debates held around the riding, including two last week in Carleton Place and Smiths Falls, Hillier was challenged on his party’s pledges to both cut 100,000 bureaucratic jobs, and also create one million jobs. “We said 100,000 positions would be gone, not 100,000 jobs,” said Hillier. “The bulk of those would be through attrition,” working at a rate of about five per cent of the 1.2 million strong civil service, or roughly 50,000 people per year. “That number will be achieved through attrition. We will do it over four years,” and through changes at Hydro One, Ontario Power Generation, and other bureaucracies. The Liberals and NDP have been challenging the math on the one million jobs pledge, but he noted that construction jobs, for example, which often are for finite periods, are measured out in “person years.” “When you indicate a job, there is no job that lasts forever,” said Hillier. “Most economists do end up quantifying it.” He also shot back that the 300,000 jobs promised by the Liberals with the creation of the Harmonized Sales Tax had yet to materialize, the same as the promised jobs flowing from the Green Energy Act.

Survivor reception, victory lap at Relay For Life an opportunity to celebrate being alive Cancer survivors invited to take part in both events in Smiths Falls June 13 Editor’s note: Leading up to the June 13 Relay for Life in Smiths Falls, we will be highlighting the stories of some of the team members, activities and events scheduled to take place in a series of articles. Community – Susan Niblock attended the Relay For Life (RFL) the first year it was held in the region in 2000 and was so impressed by what she saw that she became involved in the event for the next 10 years either as a member of a team or captaining her own team. In 2012, despite undergoing chemotherapy treatments in the midst of her own cancer fight, the Smiths Falls area resident still managed to take part in the Survivor Reception and Survivor Victory Lap. Last year, due to her reconstructive surgery, she was unable to participate in the RFL in Smiths Falls but she plans to be at this year’s event on June 13 at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute track. “I am very pleased to take part in the Survivor Reception and Survivor Victory Lap,” says the breast cancer survivor. “Not everyone is able to. I am so thrilled I am a survivor. I am so glad I am able to do this for myself. I think it is honouring to those who helped me. I really want to celebrate being alive and well. I made it.” The Survivor Reception will start at 5:30 p.m. on June 13 and will continue until the opening ceremonies at 7 p.m. There will be appetizers and refreshments available during this time, as well

Survivors prepare to take a walk around the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute track during the Smiths Falls Relay for Life last year. This year, the event has more opportunities for survivors to par-

as music by Ross Templeton. The Survivor Victory Lap will be held following the opening ceremonies with the Gordon Pipe Band and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 Colour Party leading the lap. WMD Photography will be offering free portraits for the survivors who participate in the evening. “It is our hope that we can give them something beautiful that will lift their spirits a little and thank them for being a part of the Relay,” says Bill Davidson of WMD. A cancer survivor is defined as a person with cancer of any type who is living with, through, or beyond cancer. By this definition, survivorship begins at diagnosis. In 2013, 47 survivors attended the RFL in Smiths Falls. Survivors interested in taking part in the Survivor Reception and Survivor Victory Lap at this year’s event are encouraged to register in advance by contacting Melissa Hillier who is coordinating the survivor activities for the Relay. She can be reached by email at melissa_hillier@hotmail.com or by phone at 613-850-1664. “We are encouraging survivors to come out and take part in the reception and victory lap,” says Hillier. “Please join us as we celebrate, remember and fight back against cancer.” To learn more about RFL in Smiths Falls can contact the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Community Office of the CCS at 613-267-1058 (toll-free 1-800-3672913) or email lanarklg@ontario.ca.

Candidates paint stark differences on key election issues crat budget,â&#x20AC;? said Parkhill.
By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; From balancing the books to bees, from a new hospital to old battles, last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-candidates debate in Carleton Place covered a lot of ground, in a riding that also covers a lot of ground. The Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce sponsored the all-candidates debate at the town hall on May 29, which brought in incumbent MPP Randy Hillier of the Progressive Conservatives, Bill MacDonald of the Liberals, David Parkhill of the New Democratic Party, and Cam Mather of the Green Party. Balanced budgets The first question of the evening came in written form from a member of the chamber, read into the record by moderator, Donna MacDonald, about the provincial debt. According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, the provincial debt stands at more than $271,000,000, as of Monday afternoon, with each person in the province owing about $19,950, and the questioner wondered what the candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective was on balance budget legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only am I in favour of it (the legislation), I put forward a motion (in favour) of it,â&#x20AC;? Hillier said. Under his motion, the government would have to include

Candidates vying for a spot as MPP of the Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington riding in the June 12 election, spoke at an all-candidates meeting May 29 at the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium. Above, any tax measures in their party platforms, or put tax measures to a referendum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will continue to advocate for that tax expenditure limitation bill,â&#x20AC;? Hillier added. MacDonald noted that the May 1 Liberal budget, presented by Finance Minister Charles Sousa, would have seen a balanced provincial budget by 2016-17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That plan that was laid out
from left: Liberal Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill MacDonald, Cam Mather of the Green Party, incumbent Progressive Conservative Randy Hillier and the New Democractic Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Parkhill, listen to a question from the audience.
is fully costed,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald. There was also a 10-year infrastructure plan that, he said, speaking as a former mayor, help municipalities better plan out their budgets. The Green Party would also support legislation to balance budgets, but the answer was an emphatic, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? from Parkhill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important that government has the flexibility to get
through hard times,â&#x20AC;? said Parkhill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get through the Great Depression by sitting on our hands and balancing the books.â&#x20AC;? He added that New Democrats were good at handling money, pointing to NDP governments on the Prairie provinces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are looking for a balanced budget, it is a New Demo-
Corporate tax cuts Chris Cormier, region four vice president of the Ontario Public Sector Employees Union (OPSEU), inquired about corporate tax cuts from the panel of politicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Democrats do not support additional corporate tax cuts,â&#x20AC;? said Parkhill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (corporations) have been getting away with murder.â&#x20AC;? The Green Party agreed with this assertion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Green Party would not support any further corporate tax cuts,â&#x20AC;? said Mather, but it would offer more help for small business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax system is one of the most competitive in North America,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald. Hillier however, set himself apart with his assertion that â&#x20AC;&#x153;lowering the corporate tax rate (is something) I was in favour of,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to lower the tax rate for everybody.â&#x20AC;? Daycare The introduction of all-day kindergarten was heralded by former Premier Dalton McGuinty as one of his signature achievements, but the move has had unintended consequences along the way. According to questioner Sandy MacGregor, licensed child care programs have suffered,
with layoffs in some programs as the more profitable older children get scooped up by kindergarten, leaving less-profitable younger children and babies to be cared for. She charged that Lanark County now has a waiting list of more than 100 families on the waiting list for subsidies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we have seen is the unintended consequences of the full-day kindergarten (program),â&#x20AC;? said Hillier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that the only way to address that is to change the ratios and criteria,â&#x20AC;? for the number of teachers and early childhood educators required for each class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our municipalities are tapped out. There is not enough money there.â&#x20AC;?

children, and what he alleged were failures in the system that let them and others like them, down. “They (the Liberals) were aware of the need for children’s services,” he said. “I have seen (autism service) waiting lists grow.” Pointing to MacDonald, Parkhill said that “he can talk about all the money he is throwing at it…it ain’t getting to the kids that need it.” As for daycare as a whole, “it needs to be affordable, it needs to be licensed,” Parkhill said, holding up the Quebec model as an example. New hospital for CP One of the recurring themes from the last election is Carleton Place’s desire for a new hospital, to replace the aging Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. Parkhill said that the issue has “very much (fallen) on deaf ears,” and he laid the blame at Hillier’s feet. “We haven’t seen any movement at all (on the issue),” said Parkhill. “It is absolutely criminal that nothing has happened on this.” Mather said that his party was very focused on preventative medicine, and looking at ways of keeping people at home for longer. “I will try to find the money to help you get your health care,” said Mather. “I don’t know why you don’t have one yet. I will do everything I can to get you one.” However, he added that the model currently being used, with everrising costs, was not sustainable. With health care spending pegged at $18 billion in 2002, it has risen to $50 billion in 2014. “We have increased health care spending by seven-and-a-half per cent per year since 2003,” Mather said. MacDonald pointed out that he arranged meetings between a delegation from the hospital and Health and Long-Term Care Minister Deb Matthews at the Trillium Dinner in

Ottawa, and that Premier Kathleen Wynne met with another similar delegation at the Civitan Club hall in Perth last summer to discuss the matter. “I am not in a position to go out and advocate as an elected official,” said MacDonald, but he did so as a private citizen. “Our elected official has not advocated for the new hospital.” Hillier disagreed vehemently on this, pointing out that he has contacted Matthews, Alex Munter, the former chief executive officer of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), as well as making statements at Queen’s Park, and delivering petitions. “(For) 10 years, we have been advocating for this hospital,” said Hillier. “The LHIN approved this. They were set up to make decisions. There is direct political interference preventing Carleton Place from getting a new hospital.” Public health care Herve Cavanagh, president of OPSEU local 466, inquired about continued public funding of the health care system. “Publicly funded health care, yeah, absolutely,” said Hillier, before adding that “we are advocating more choice for people,” which could include private options. “Instead of it just being allocated by government bureaucrats…we are proposing that that (health care) be opened up, that people contract out that care,” Hillier said. “I support publicly-funded health care,” said MacDonald. He pointed out that the Liberals have increased funding to community care access centres and for home care. He added that hospital funding is also up by 50 per cent since 2003, that hospital wait times have been reduced, with 23 new hospitals built – compared to the 18 hospitals closed by the Harris government in the 1990s, and thousands of nurses given pink slips. “The Green Party supports
publicly-funded health care,” said Mather, but added that “we would advocate for more public-private partnerships.” Parkhill works in the health care sector himself, but charged that “we are seeing a non-commitment to community-based access to services,” from the Liberals. Hydro One irate landowner waved two hydro bills in front the panel – one from Quebec, one from Ontario, both from properties he owned. The Ontario bill was for $583 for one month. The Quebec bill? Seventy-five dollars for two months. “Where do you begin on the hydro file? It’s a catastrophe,” said Hillier, who said that he brought his own energy bill to the energy minister – and he wasn’t believed at first. “They (hydro bills) are driving people out of Ontario,” he said. “We can buy hydro from Quebec and Manitoba at much lower rates when we need it.” MacDonald pointed out that “the reason that energy is cheaper in Manitoba and Quebec is because they have cheaper water rates. (But) I agree with you that rates are too high. That is because of the delivery charge.” He urged that the delivery charge be taken off of bills, and that hydro infrastructure payments be made out of the government’s “general coffers.” Mather agreed that “it is an unfortunate situation. Electricity is hard to make,” which is why he lives off of the grid in Tamworth. He also urged Ontario to go nuclear-energy free, since it gets a lot of its energy from nuclear, while Quebec appears set to phase out its only reactor, but added that he agrees with buying cheaper Manitoba and Quebec hydro. “Profiteers are just gutting our hydro system,” said Parkhill. “We need to take Hydro One as our own entity and make it work for us. It won’t be easy, it won’t be cheap, it won’t be quick.”
Education When it comes to education, “these issues are near and dear to me,” said Parkhill. “We have seen our students pushed aside, pushed aside, pushed aside. We have seen 10 years of neglect under Dalton McGuinty. He painted himself as the education premier. (But) Dalton McGuinty has doen more harm to education than John Snobelen,” Mike Harris’ education minister from 1995 to 1997. “We know what it means when we see these cuts to education coming in,” said Parkhill. “These kids that will flourish with a bit of extra help will fall behind (without it),” he added. Mather brought up a Green campaign plank that his party intends to merge the Catholic and public school systems, to create one public school system, with English and French streams. “Most provinces in the country have eliminated faithbased school boards,” he said. Hillier chided the Liberals for implementing Bill 115, which forced labour contracts on some school boards. Because of that, “we ended up with a whole bunch of work-to-rules,” and one-day, rotating strikes across the province – even though the Tories voted for the same bill with the Liberals. MacDonald however defended the Liberal record on education, saying that the sector has seen a 53 per cent increase in funding since they took office in 2003. He claimed that there were higher test scores, more teachers on staff, and full-day kindergarten. “The only party that supports education and will continue to support education (is the Liberals,)” said MacDonald. Hillier however noted that while student enrollment has gone down by 250,000 students over the last 10 years, costs are rising and payroll has gone up too. Hillier also contended that grades were actually going down and that “our education

plan. If the plan is brought in, however, “you might as well kiss another 300,000 jobs goodbye.” MacDonald, however, said, “I absolutely support the Ontario Pension Plan. There are too many people who, when they hit retirement age, they cannot pay their own way. I think this should have happened a long time ago.” Mather admitted that since “it is a new policy, we have not had a chance to talk about it in our platform…But it does talk to the future.” Parkhill noted that he also does not favour an OPP, but would rather “like to believe that through negotiations and discussion, that we could improve the CPP. We would be far better off if we beef up the CPP,” he said, rather than creating another level of bureaucracy.

system has a heavy administrative burden. We are too bureaucratic in our education system. We need a breath of fresh air.” Ontario pension plan Premier Wynne has made a proposed pension plan, to compliment the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) in much the same way that Quebec’s system does, a cornerstone of her party’s re-election effort. But Hillier was having none of it. “I am opposed to the Ontario Pension Plan (OPP) as presented,” said Hillier. “It is a new payroll tax. There is not only the contribution of the employee, there is also the contribution of the employer,” adding a new cost to them. He advocated instead for a program like Australia has, where a mandatory two per cent of a worker’s pay is put into a registered retirement savings

Lanark County council declares June 1 to 7 as National Access Awareness Week News – “The purpose of National Access Awareness Week is to raise understanding about the issues that affect people in our community who have disabilities,” said Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve). “About 1.85 million people in Ontario have some form of disability, especially as they get older, and we need to continue to find ways to provide equal access and opportunities for full participation in all aspects of Canadian life.” National Access Awareness
Week was first established in 1988 after Rick Hansen’s “Man in Motion” Tour, which promoted better community access for people with disabilities. The week celebrates achievements made by and for people with disabilities, and is a chance to promote access for people with all disabilities who encounter barriers preventing them from full participation in daily activities. “Right now one in seven people in Ontario has a disability, and that number is expected to be one
in five by 2036 as the population ages,” said Coun. Ed Sonnenburg (Carleton Place deputy mayor), chair of the county’s accessibility awareness sub-committee. “They face obstacles that prevent them from working, travelling and having full enjoyment in their communities. The county’s accessibility goal is to eliminate barriers to facilities, services and workplaces.” The sub-committee advises county council on how to make the corporation more accessible
for people with disabilities and aims to remove any existing barriers over time and to prevent new ones from being created. It was developed as part of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act and its key role is to advise council regarding its annual accessibility plan. “This can include reviewing site plans for new and existing municipal buildings, and checking bylaws, purchases, significant renovations, leased facilities, municipal capital facilities and goods and services provided by
the municipalities,” Sonnenburg explained. “We liaise with local municipalities and other accessibility advisory committees and we monitor federal and provincial directives and regulations.” There are many kinds of barriers, such as doors that are too heavy for a person in a wheelchair to open, signs and documents that are difficult to read for a person with a visual disability or a telephone that a person with a hearing loss cannot use. “We are committed to becoming an inclusive county in which
all persons with disabilities can exercise their civil, political, social and cultural rights on an equal basis with other persons,” Kidd said. “We want to ensure that everyone has the right to live in conditions of dignity, respect and peace.” The accessibility advisory sub-committee meets on average four times a year and its decisions are recommended to the county’s corporate services committee and then to council.

These famous scenes were the first motion pictures the world would see of the D-Day invasion. The cameramen who scooped the international press were soldiers from the Canadian Army Film Unit.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Why does Hillier’s Hitachi boondoggle hurt LFLA farmers? DEAR EDITOR: Our local MPP, Randy Hillier, complains about the Samsung boondoggle when he criticizes the green energy policies of the Liberal government. He also says that farmers should not be getting revenue from solar panels at the expense of hydro ratepayers. His solution is to have our electricity produced by “cheap” nuclear. This means that if Mr. Hillier gets his way, billions of dollars will be paid to companies like Hitachi, Toshiba, or SNC Lavalin (which is being investigated in Quebec for bribery and corrupt practices) to refurbish or build new nuclear reactors. Also, Mr. Hillier has implied that Ontario could import electricity from Quebec. Mr. Hillier thinks that it’s OK to pay out billions of dollars to big foreign companies and other provinces but not thousands to our own farmers to allow them to stay on their land and produce food for us.
Since the price of nuclear is going up and the price solar energy dropping dramatically, it will actually be cheaper to get our energy from green renewable sources such as solar, wind, and biogas produced locally by our farmers than from nuclear reactors. All of our green energy comes from public private partnerships where companies or farmers have to invest their own money and get a fixed rate for the energy they produce as opposed to nuclear power where the province has been on the hook for cost over-runs. We see this every day on our hydro bills when we have to pay off the “stranded” debt produced by nuclear power. Mr. Hillier should stand up for his constituents and support local farmers by paying them instead of Hitachi for our electricity. Wolfe Erlichman Godfrey
COMMENTARY
We must remember Editorial – This year marks a number of significant military anniversaries for our country, including tomorrow (June 6), which serves as the 70th anniversary of D-Day during the Second World War. D-Day, also known as the Normandy landings which were part of Operation Overload during the war, saw more than 150,000 soldiers from Canada, the United States, Belgium, France and the United Kingdom storm an 80-kilometre stretch of the coast of Normandy. Twelve-thousand men lost their lives that day, but helped to secure a significant Allied victory in the war. In this day and age, it’s sometimes easy to forget the sheer scale of the two World Wars that shaped so much of our past, simply perhaps because we didn’t experience them. That’s no reason to be apathetic. We should be sinking up as much of our history as we can and there’s no lack of footage out there to view. A perfect example is our editorial photo this week, which captures army cameraman assigned to capture the first wave of the D-Day invasion on film. In honour of D-Day, the War Amps’ YouTube channel will feature footage of Canadian troops storming Juno Beach and each week a different portion of footage is being released. How incredible it is that we have these newsreels. It’s all part of a project that’s been unfolding over the past two years to make Canadian Army newsreels available to the public. Maybe it isn’t pretty, but we should all take a more active role in learning about our history. On June 6, remember to take a moment to remember those who sacrificed their lives so we could all enjoy our freedom.
Emerson insists on proper burial for all animals Lifestyle – Emerson was having no part of it! Ronny and Terry had come from Montreal for their usual long summer holidays, and Ronny, just as aggressive as Emerson, insisted he was quite capable of playing a leading role in burying the dead bird. Emerson was high on burying anything that had died on the farm, and having what he called a proper funeral. He drew the line on the long list of farm animals that ended up in our smoke house and on the old pine table at mealtime. Thank goodness, or we would be having a funeral service every few days! What he called a proper send-off was saved for birds, squirrels, or anything else that roamed the large acreage that was our farm at Northcote and which had passed on for one reason or another. He was known to drag a dead groundhog a half mile to give it a proper service. Now, the service usually included us five children standing, (although my sister Audrey, the oldest was get-
ting less and less enamoured with the whole idea) around in solemn wonder as Emerson said a few words, put the deceased in a shallow hole, covered it up, stuck a twig in the mound, and then we were supposed to stand and meditate for at least a full three minutes, which Emerson measured off by counting backwards. That Saturday the dead bird was discovered in the barnyard, and Emerson didn’t take long to announce that we should all gather behind the silo as soon as we finished our breakfast. Ronny said he would be glad to help with the service. Emerson said that wouldn’t be necessary, he had the service down pat. Knowing Ronny, he had other plans. Well, Mother wasn’t letting any of us away from the house until the kitchen had been redded up, and that included Emerson pitching in. We all had our special chores, and nothing interfered with Mother’s routine, dead bird, or no dead bird. Ronny was to take the table scraps out to the back stoop for our old ColVice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@metroland.com 613-283-3182, ext. 104

As Ronny was heading out the door, Emerson hollered, “We’ll meet at the silo in five minutes.” Finally the red and white oilcloth covered table was wiped clean, the dishes washed, dried and put away, and the floor swept. We all headed for the back door. Audrey couldn’t be coaxed out of the kitchen. “Nonsense...just plain nonsense,” she could be heard muttering.

as Mother was concerned. As long as our chores were done to her liking, she was happy! Emerson always wore his cap at these ceremonies. I thought that strange since you wouldn’t dare wear a cap in church, and this was supposed to be as close to a church service as you could get without actually going to church. He also took the battered hymn book with him. He would have loved to take the bible which sat in the parlour on the twig table, but Mother drew the line on that! No bible left the house to bury a dead bird. Emerson led us solemnly out of the house, down the back steps and across the front yard towards the silo behind the barn. Little Terry had no idea where he was going, but he sensed excitement in the air, and holding my hand tightly, he skipped along as if we were going to a party. Ronny was already at the site. And it didn’t take a university graduate to figure out what he had done.

at one end of it, and there stood Ronny standing in solemn wonder with his hands folded in steeple position and his eyes closed. Ronny had buried the bird. Well, Emerson lost all sense of piety, lunged at Ronny, dropped the hymn book, and was about to tear into him when Everett and Earl got a good hold of him and held him back. Ronny had the good sense to head for the house where he knew Mother would never let Emerson lay a hand on him. The rest of us stood around the little mound. I have no idea when he did it, but Ronny had taken a scrap of paper, woven it through the twig at the head of the makeshift grave, and printed in black red crayon, “Goodbye Bird”.

June 6, 1944: Recalling Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role 70 years later Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was a wet and wind-swept spring afternoon in Normandy, France. And Wally Mace was excited! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look boys, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put the steeple back on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;er,â&#x20AC;? Wally exclaimed. He was pointing a finger as he quickly moved back and forth along the centre aisle of the bus. Wally was bent at an odd angle as he tried to see out of the moving coach. What he had spotted was a church in one of the beachside communities behind Juno Beach, a place which should be well-known to every Canadian.
Exactly 70 years ago tomorrow, on June 6, 1944, two brigades from the 3rd Canadian Division waded ashore and fought their way inland as part of one of modern historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boldest and most successful military invasions. Wally Mace, a 17-year-old from Carleton Place, was one of those soldiers. The event itself is best known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;D-Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the nickname for Operation Overlord, the massive Second World War Allied assault on the French coast that helped bring an end to the Na-

tory of World War II and its aftermath. Seven decades later it is likely this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s observances will be the last major event related to D-Day which will be attended by actual veterans of the invasion. The ranks of the Canadian, British and American troops who spearheaded Operation Overlord are rapidly dwindling. In 10 years, on the 80th anniversary, it seems unlikely many â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if any â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will still be alive. a Wally Mace didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live to see the 70th anniversary. He died in 2009 in his 85th year. The incident I describe at the beginning of this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column occurred in May 1995, shortly after Wally and more than 20 other Second World War veterans from Carleton Place, Lanark County and Ottawa attended another very special event in The Netherlands. The occasion was the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland and the 50th anniversary of the end of Second World War in Europe. Wally and the other area veterans marched proudly in the national liberation parade in the city of Apeldoorn, in southeastern Holland. All along the route the elderly veterans were cheered by a crowd estimated at half a million (Apeldoorn has 157,000 permanent residents). Canadian troops, including
Wally, played a major role in freeing tiny Holland from five years of German occupation and Nazi tyranny. Throughout the parade the estimated 8,000 veterans involved were handed bouquets of flowers, hugged and kissed by women and were slapped on the back or shook hands with the male parade watchers. Unforgettable scene I saw it firsthand and it is a truly incredible scene that is forever burned into my memory. As the then publisher of the Carleton Place Canadian and Almonte Gazette newspapers I, along with my wife Kathleen, was invited to accompany the local contingent to the landmark anniversary observances in Holland. The late Alan R. Barker, founder of the Carleton Place funeral home of the same name, was the organizer. An Almonte native, Alan was part of the ill-fated Canadian invasion of the heavily defended German-occupied port of Dieppe in August 1942. Less than two years later he was part of the successful assault against Adolf Hitlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much vaunted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Atlantic Wallâ&#x20AC;? on D-Day. The invasion that hastened the end of the Second World War in Europe. Like Wally, Alan fought his

way through France, Belgium and Holland as part of the ultimately successful war in the west. In May 1995 he was accompanied to Europe by his wife Melba, the first female mayor of Carleton Place. Sadly both have since passed away. I wish to pay tribute to both of them this week. They were very special people. The 50th anniversary trip Alan organized changed my life. I have been writing about veterans ever since and I will continue to do so as long as I am able. They are truly amazing people who deserve more recognition than they have received in my opinion. During that trip, following five days in The Netherlands, our group travelled to France. We spent two days in and around the city of Caen, during which we walked the Normandy invasion beaches. We also visited several war cemeteries including BĂŠny-surMer Canadian War Cemetery where just over 2,000 of our countrymen are interred. Most were killed during the early stages of the Battle of Normandy, including on D-Day itself. To say the least it was a very moving experience! For Wally Mace the 1995 odyssey marked his first time

back on Juno Beach since he waded ashore on D-Day and survived to tell the tale. More than 300 Canadians weren’t so fortunate. They were killed in action on the first day of the attack. To finish the story I started, the church Wally was referring to became a grim focal point for Canadian soldiers in the hours following the invasion. German snipers occupied the steeple, picking off anyone and everyone they set their sights on. The end of that chapter came quickly said Wally, a member of the 30th Artillery Battery. “We (Canadians) put a couple of rounds into ‘er (steeple) and down she came,” Wally outlined. “No more snipers,” he added, with satisfaction evident in his voice. Not long after our return from Europe Wally’s wife Florence (she passed away in 2012) told my wife an interesting sidebar story. “That trip was so good for Wally,” Flo told Kathy. “He can finally sleep. He’s had nightmares ever since (the war) and now they’re gone.” The trip to Normandy had finally given him some closure. I mentioned that Wally was 17 in 1944. The standard for a soldier at the time was 18. He told me he tried to join the war effort when he was 16 but was refused. A year later recruiters evidently turned a blind eye. The underage Wally got his wish and joined the army. Canada’s contribution Tomorrow, among the quickly

dwindling ranks of D-Day veterans will be a number of Canadians. I’m sure many of them faced the same dangers Wally and his mates did during the war. I hope the experience of being at Juno Beach again will be as good for them today as it was for my friend 19 years ago. I will now offer some facts about D-Day that demonstrate just how important the Normandy invasion and its aftermath were. I also want to underline the important role Canadians played in this epic battle. For those who were living in German-occupied countries at the time, the invasion couldn’t come soon enough. Adolf Hitler’s “1000 Year Reich” lasted a mere 12. But the death, destruction and savagery unleashed during such a relatively short period in world history has few, if any, parallels. Tomorrow’s observances will focus on just one day. The day German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel predicted would be “The Longest Day.” For both the Germans and the Allies! Rommel, the man charged with repelling the long expected invasion, knew the first 24 hours would be crucial. If his troops were able to hurl the Allied forces back into the Atlantic, the course of the war might have been very different. It turns out Rommel was both right and wrong. He bravely predicted the German defenders would win the day. Fortunately he was wrong. But he was certainly right about the first day being the most critical. It is the Allies’ success on that momentous day that will be remembered Tuesday.
D-Day is marked (the letter ‘D’ is actually just the first letter of Day – or in this case THE day) every June 6. As mentioned there are fewer of the actual participants left to mark the anniversary with each passing year. More than 14,000 Canadian troops were involved in the initial Juno Beach assault. There were also two British and two American invasion beaches on the Normandy front. A little known fact is that during the first hour of the attack the Canadians suffered 50 per cent casualties. That is comparable to American losses on Omaha Beach which is usually the first area mentioned when it comes to D-Day casualties. Another seldom acknowledged fact about D-Day is that it was Canadian soldiers who advanced farther inland, on that first day, than any other attacking force. As they did throughout the war in Europe the Canadians were handed a difficult task and they executed it to perfection. D-Day statistics show there were 946 Canadian casualties, of which 335 were killed. All Canadians should remember, respect and honour their sacrifice tomorrow. We owe them the freedom we enjoy today. Last week I read a newspaper death notice on Herb Pragnell from Almonte, another of the veterans from our 1995 excursion. I then looked at our photos taken at the time. Herb was the last surviving veteran from our group. God bless him – God bless all of them!

Hospice volunteers help ease the pain of loss for grieving families day season, which are addressed in the groups. “It could be changing what you normally do for Christmas and not being afraid to do that,” said Bowie. Support group members are encouraged to bring mementos of the deceased – like photos, objects, even music – to memorialize them at the group. A lot of hospitals have their own volunteer-led bereavement programs that complement the work done by Bowie’s group. There is a bereavement nurse at the Carleton Place and District Memo-

News – At least you get a chance to say goodbye. The pain of losing someone close to you may never really ever go away, but while you can take steps to manage that memory, and not let it overtake you, there are subtle differences in the dynamics between dealing with the fallout of a sudden death, versus one that was long-anticipated – though, by no means is the grief easier in either circumstance. “All losses are difficult in different ways,” said Rebecca Bowie, co-ordinator of the volunteer hospice visiting service, during an interview at her office at Community Home Support – Lanark County (CHSLC) in Perth. “They are so hard to compare. I wouldn’t say it is any easier if you know that someone is ill.” While a terminally-ill patient may be able to put his or her affairs in order, say their goodbyes and even make peace with estranged loved ones, the emotional burden is still difficult for those left behind. However, there is “a big difference when there is unfinished business,” when someone dies suddenly. Take, hypothetically, she says, a man, aged 60, who is looking forward to retirement, His children are raised, and he is anticipating graduations, marriages, and children for them, a sudden death can create a lot of regrets for what could have been for the widow and the rest of the family, in the envisioned golden years that included him. “That’s really difficult because it is the plans and dreams that are not complete,” said Bowie. “It’s all the plans that don’t get to happen.” No matter what type of grief one goes through during the mourning period after losing a loved one, “it’s always a shock,” said Bowie. Even if the patient has been ill for a decade, and has had three or four near misses, being rushed to the hospital in really rough shape, the fifth time, “after 10 years, you call the ambulance, and they don’t come home.” While the patient is in the somewhat uncomfortable position of having weeks, months, even years to contemplate their impending departure from this life, the family members and loved ones face the further obstacle of what comes afterwards. “Well, what do I do now?” is a common question asked by long-term caregivers when the loved one finally succumbs. “My life has been looking after this person for 10 years. You don’t know what somebody means to you until they die. Sometimes people really don’t know what the people mean to them and they are broadsided… it is a void they didn’t expect.” For the patient, as their journey progresses from diagnosis onwards, they

Their role changes.” Hospice visiting service Her more than 60 volunteers visit “people living with a life-limiting illness,” serving not only the patient, but also their family, often setting up weekly volunteer visits that go beyond simply finding out if the patient is taking their medication but, also “companionship and understanding… loss is a part of life. We are here and we have empathy for someone, because you can never really know what it is like for the person.” “I go out and visit them in their home and see what their needs are,” said Bowie. “We fill in the gaps with trained volunteers. I go in and visit them and see where they are.” During early-stage visits, she does not broach issues like DNRs, or do-notresuscitate orders, but, as the bond between volunteer and patient grows, the volunteers tend to become advocates on their patient’s behalf, continuing on their visits when the patient is transferred to hospital, hospice, or long-term care facility, from their home. “As the illness progresses, we may have more than one volunteer in there,” said Bowie. But the visits do not just help the patient. “It’s often respite care for the caregiver.” The volunteers go through a 36-hour palliative care training course, facilitated by an educator from the South East Local Health Integration Network. Many volunteers go on to complete the second level of the training. One such volunteer with CHSLC is Perth area resident Jennifer Jilks, whose
own experiences caring for her mother and father as they endured terminal illnesses, led her to write a novel, Living and Dying with Dignity in 2008. She said she helps prepare families for the grieving process in any way she can. “I tell family members to write the eulogy and obituary before their loved one passes away. It helps you reflect back on what they did that was positive,” she stated. Jilks often aids in the process by capturing a client’s thoughts and wishes on paper during her visits. “Sometimes they (client) have a message for family and I will write that down,” she said. At times, what a loved one facing end-of-life ponders can be surprising for the family. “One of my clients, the son read out part of what I had transcribed at the their funeral and spoke about their happiest moment. It was when they turned 16 and were able to quit school. Not when their kids being born or getting married, but quitting school,” Jilks remarked. “Another lady told me about how she wanted her funeral to be. She wanted it to be nothing like her husband’s. He was a jazz musician and for his funeral, musicians walked the streets and played in his honour,” she added. “…I pass all of this information on to families. Life and death is all part of the same continuum.” The volunteer hospice visiting service has two-month bereavement support groups in the county: • Carleton Place, last Wednesday of each month, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., at the Waterside Retirement Residence, 105 McNeely Ave. • Perth, second Wednesday of each month, 1 to 3 p.m., at Lanark Lodge, 115 Christie Lake Rd. To register, please call 613-2676400, or email rebeccab@chslc.ca, but “anyone can come the groups. It is nice if I can know ahead of time. No one is forced to speak. (But) usually people do talk.” There are often timely themes tied to the seasons, like the ongoing holiTHE EMC - 20 - Thursday, June 5, 2014
rial Hospital, and the new Hub Hospice Palliative Care centre, 70 Clyde St., in Almonte. “There used to be more palliative care in the hospitals and we are trying to get that back,” said Bowie. While many patients want to remain in their home for as long as possible, with long-term care facility waiting lists what they are, they may end up having to stay at home for longer than is medically advised, because there simply is not enough room.

Bereavement services more counselling than therapy By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
Community – “If society wasn’t so grief phobic, I’d be out of a job,” says Barbara Carroll, hospice volunteer and bereavement support/group facilitator. That statement pretty much sums up the social need and the role that Carroll and others like her play in helping people prepare for the end of life and renewal. She is a grief counsellor who helps people through their final days and supports those they leave behind. “We’re not that good at dealing with people who are grieving because of death, separation, infertility, miscarriage or retirement,” she says. To that end Carroll volunteers as grief counsellor both one-on-one and as a group facilitator. “I like intense emotions and palliative care and grief work is where you get them,” she says. An immigrant from New Zealand, Carroll has had graduate training in mathematics and psychology. She worked as a university lecturer for 15 years and then as a fibre artist for another 15 years, now she’s on a third career as a grief counsellor, and that’s an important distinction she says. Her role is that of a counselor, not a therapist. It’s not an easy road and there are times when she wonders about the way that dying patients are treated in hospitals. “There was a patient I visited in the hospital and he was obviously dying – but the physiotherapist came in and said ‘come on you have to get up and walk to keep those muscles moving’, and I remember thinking, ‘why?’,” she says. That’s just an illustration of how we view death, less as a right of passage and more as a battlefield. Acceptance is not in our social vocabulary, but it is in Carroll’s. “I was called by a woman I had
been seeing, who said her husband was dying and I’d better come over if I wanted to see him. When I got there he was so obviously already on his way somewhere else I didn’t want to drag him back,” she recalls. That passive acceptance is a large part of what grief counselling is about, according to Carroll. “With grief there is nothing wrong with you, you’re just grieving but the message people get is ‘get over it. If you’re emotional stay home, or go to the washroom,’ “ she explains. Grief isn’t a disease or a problem that needs fixing; it’s a normal process, but it’s one that is best navigated with support. “I’m just there to listen, I’m just there validating the reality,” says Carroll. “There was one client I was visiting who had a nurse and personal support worker helping her care for her dying husband. At one point I turned to her and commented ‘my goodness, this is like grand central station.’ She looked at me and burst into tears – I had just validated her sense of lost privacy and space and it was a relief for her,” says Carroll. That is in an important aspect of what Carroll and other volunteers like her do – simple validation. “One reason I would go into home would be to give the primary caregiver a break,” says Carroll. By doing so she will spend time with the palliative patient, often supporting them as well. “I’ve had people say I hate not dying, I’ve turned my wife into a slave,” she says. Being there to hear those words is the therapy she provides. Each situation is different she says, which is part of what keeps her interested and motivated. Some people need more or less support. “I worked with a man who was undergoing treatment his wife didn’t See GRIEF page 21

Different situations demand different strategies, and she might do some grounding techniques with someone who is grief stricken. “I might get people in despair to just breathe and pay attention to their physical symptoms, because there are often a lot of things going on – exhaustion, intense grief and loss. These are all emotions

agree with, so I was there to support them both,” says Carroll. By support she means, simply being there, being a sounding board, a listener, a companion. The biggest part is supporting the caregiver while they are performing that role and most importantly once their patient has left. “It’s a huge loss to the caregiver – they don’t know who they are anymore,” says Carroll. In older societies there would have been an extended family around to offer support directly or indirectly but today too many people find themselves alone. “Some people have no family support – no friends – they may really need the interaction but are just too needy. People like that may fall into despair, if they don’t have resources, they may just stay there. They may turn to drugs or alcohol anything to ease the pain – it becomes too big for them and they can’t deal with it,” explains Carroll. Often the people who will be left behind have been so busy caring for the patient they haven’t had time to prepare themselves. “Or you may have a client who is grieving the loss of a spouse but they may also have
that increase a person’s sense of vulnerability and so fear,” she says. A person who is grieving, explains Carroll, walks into a glass tunnel and her role is to walk along beside the tunnel. “The privilege of having total strangers tell you a tragic story they’ve experienced or their thoughts about dying, those are such privileged moments,” she says. While she experience a great deal of satisfaction from both one-on-one counselling and group counselling it isn’t something she could do fulltime not does she need to. Generally Carroll will spend two to three hours with a client and not every week. “I couldn’t see 20 or 25 clients a week, that would be too much,” she says. While this is work that gives her a great deal of satisfaction and even joy, she says it does take its toll. “There is a team of us (who) do this grief counselling and we get together once in a while and that helps,” she says. On the other hand the purity of the relationships she forms with grief stricken clients is one that she cherishes. “You see people at their most vulnerable and at their most magnificent and you don’t see that every day,” she says with the open simplicity that is her trademark.

Part Three of a Four-Part Series
Life after death: Many tools available to help grieve a loved one By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca
News – The process of grieving a loss is arguably the most difficult aspect of life we face. Seeing a loved one at peace after facing a terminal illness can give comfort, but what about those left behind? Hospice doesn’t just support your loved one during their terminal illness, but can also provide much peace for family members afterwards. Beth Donovan Hospice (BDH), which has been serving the areas of North Grenville, Merrickville and South Ottawa for 22 years, has a “very robust” bereavement program, said executive director Dawn Rodger, which they are always enhancing. “We want people to know they’re not alone and what they’re feeling is completely normal,” Rodger said. “It’s a process, they are thrust into this new life they hadn’t anticipated without their loved one. It’s about how to relate your experience with others’ experiences. It’s normal, it takes time to have a healthy grieving process.” One of the biggest ways the organization is doing this is with the addition of counsellor Suzanne Duc, who holds a Master of Arts in counselling psychology. She became part of the team in July 2013. “Our professional counsellor on staff, Suzanne, provides oneon-one counselling for those anticipating death or who have lost a loved one,” Rodger said. In a report Duc gave at BDH’s annual general meeting earlier this year, she noted that grief and bereavement counselling is available in individual, couple and group formats, home visits, workshops, volunteer training in bereavement and support, as well as trauma and loss presentations. “Our services are available to
all those in our catchment area suffering from life-limiting illness, their caregivers (whether family, friends or members of their health care team), as well as anyone who has suffered human loss,” Duc explained. “We have a number of groups, including those specifically for loss of spouse, loss of child and loss of a loved one due to suicide,” Rodger said, adding that all counselling done is in accordance with the Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists. Duc started off working one day a week (eight to 10 hours), but thanks to a LHIN grant in December 2013, allowed BDH to expand their counselling services (free of charge) to 20 hours per week. “Year-to-date numbers for 2014 reflect a substantial year over year increase with 198 individual sessions taking place representing a total of 31 clients served,” Duc stated in her report. However, there is on average, a three to four week waiting list for those seeking individual counselling appointments with BDH. Variety of workshops Everyone experiences grief in a different way therefore BDH has a variety of workshops to help, whether it’s an eight-week closed spousal bereavement group offered this past winter; surviving the holidays sessions co-facilitated by BDH Chaplain, Pastor Daniel Massey; or a Kemptville District Hospital presentation on compassion fatigue. “Our goal is to support members of the community with their grief and bereavement needs in a client-centred fashion,” Duc stated. “There is no limit to the number of sessions offered nor is there always a fixed session length. Clients take an active role in their own treatment and most attend therapy

In the future, Duc said the plan is to organize group programming to run them quarterly and focus on specific topics. “This vision is based on research evidence which suggests that planning groups based on similar types of loss is experienced by participants as more helpful to their overall grief recovery pro-
cess,” she noted. As BDH moves forward with its counselling program, Rodger said a partnership with Yorkville University will be a big part. Currently, the organization mentors a student going through training to become a counsellor. “Not only will supervision in this regard permit students of Yorkville’s counselling psychology program to complete the necessary requirements of their graduate degree program over a six-month period; it will also reduce and hopefully eliminate our current
wait list condition given the addition of counselling resources,” Duc explained. Expanding community outreach programming with more structured volunteer bereavement training is another goal of BDH. “In cases were professional-level counselling support is not required, we aim to provide peer support as the client(s) deems appropriate either through telephone outreach initiatives or home visits,” Duc said. “There is a 24-hour training period and great community partnerships through other local Hospices and Bereaved Families of Ontario to train our facilitators,” Rodger stressed. Community education and awareness is an important aspect of ensuring the word gets out about the support services that are available. Duc said there are talks to become a bigger presence in local schools to help with suicide awareness and prevention. “...Moreover, we hope to
build upon newly established relationships with local physicians and community service organizations to promote our counselling services and to provide much-needed grief and bereavement education to primary care providers,” she stated. Rodger, who also serves as the chair of the Champlain Regional Bereavement Task Group, said she is happy BDH has involvement on a regional level. She has played a role in developing a regional bereavement plan, which will be a tool for hospitals, Hospices and long-term care facilities. “A recommendation has been brought forward to the Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Board that it would be helpful for service providers to have a bereavement plan... in order to increase access to services in communities in which individuals live,” Rodger explained.“...It (plan) will help give organizations a means to start implementing bereavement care programs in their organizations.”

News – The following are questions posed by the Citizens’ Democracy Forum, a multi-party group of supporters of all provincial parties and the answers received from candidates in the provincial election for the ridings of Lanark-Frontenac- Lennox & Addington and Leeds-Grenville. 1• With our ‘first-past-the-post’ voting system producing ‘majority’ governments that receive considerably less than a clear majority of votes cast… and as a result, substantially fewer eligible voters actually choosing to vote... do you and your party agree that, because the views and interests of the majority of electors is not usually represented in our legislatures, this is a serious flaw in our democracy that needs to be addressed forthwith? LIBERAL LFLA: We want to restore the public’s trust in government. We would like to see more Ontarians engaged in the political process. Through our Open Government initiative we’ve already taken tangible steps to make Government more transparent, accountable, and engaging. We’ve opened-up government data, proposed an expanded mandate for the Ontario Ombudsman, and sought to improve disclosure of MPP expenses. Our Plan for Ontario builds on these achievements, committing, for example, to move on the recommendations of the Open Government Panel and to reintroduce our Accountability Act. With respect to electoral reform, unlike other parties, we acted. We
established a Democratic Renewal Secretariat and, in 2007 after a lengthy public consultation across the province, we gave the people of Ontario a choice with a referendum on electoral reform. The people of Ontario chose to stay with the ‘first-past-the-post’ system we currently have today. GREEN: Canada is one of the few parliamentary democracies in the world that still uses the first past the post system. This voting system does not result in governments that reflect the values and wishes of voters, nor does it foster the involvement of diverse voices in decision-making. It often leads to majority governments elected by a minority of voters. The Green Party of Ontario recognizes this as a flaw in our democracy. The Green Party of Ontario supports proportional representation for Ontario. Electoral reform will eliminate the need for strategic voting, reduce negative campaigning, and ensure every vote counts. NDP L&G: Yes, New Democrats believe that people shouldn’t feel their vote doesn’t count if they don’t vote for one of the major parties. New Democrats supported changing the system in the 2007 referendum but because of the rules set up by the Liberal government, weren’t allowed to openly campaign for it. We also believed it suffered from negative media coverage and a lack of information about the proposal and the Citizens’ Assembly that recommended it. PC L&G: The Ontario PC Party
conducted widespread consultations in developing our platform for the June 12 provincial election. While many issues were identified as important, changing Ontario’s current voting system was not a priority. However, I do believe there are changes to our voting system that must take place. Specifically, I’m referring to the accuracy of our list of electors maintained by Elections Ontario. The poor job Elections Ontario does in maintaining this vital information, which is the primary method for candidates – and Elections Ontario itself – to connect and engage with electors is something I raised at Queen’s Park following the 2011 provincial election. Here is a copy of my Member’s Statement, which received praise from members of all three parties: Ontario Hansard - 23-November2011 Mr. Steve Clark: Thank you, Speaker, and congratulations on your election as Speaker. I rise to speak today about an issue that concerns all of us here in this Legislature. I’m referring to the most fundamental aspect of our democratic system: the right of people to cast their ballot. I’m asking my fellow MPPs to join me in demanding that Elections Ontario clean up its disgraceful voters list. We were all disappointed with the historically low voter turnout on October 6, when fewer than half of Ontarians voted. I believe that one of the main
reasons is their frustration of being left off the voters’ list entirely or the incorrect information they were given about where to vote. I’m sure everyone in this Legislature heard horror stories from people at the doorstep during the campaign. I had people tell me they had lived at the same location for decades and dutifully voted in every election, only to discover they had suddenly vanished from the list. Others were shocked to find several names listed on a home they’d lived in for generations-except their own. Many were so offended by this omission, which they took as a personal insult, that they refused to vote in protest. I also recall a couple in Portland, in my own riding, who could literally throw a stone and hit the side of the polling station they’d voted at for years, yet their voters’ card sent them to a polling station 30 minutes away. They took the time to get it fixed, but I’m sure many others said, “Why bother?” I call on Elections Ontario to look into why the voters’ list is such a mess and fix it before more Ontarians become disenfranchised. Unfortunately, Elections Ontario has done nothing to improve the situation in the nearly three years since and I pledge that if successfully re-elected on June 12, I will continue to advocate on this issue.

Sports – If 2013 was a breakout golf season for Brooke Henderson, she’s already well on her way to making 2014 even more memorable. The 16-year-old Smiths Falls resident, Canada’s top ranked female amateur golfer, was in Brockville last Friday, May 30, fulfilling her role as honourary chair of the Riverside GM $1 million Hole-in-One Challenge, a key fundraiser in support of the St. John Ambulance (Leeds, Grenville and Lanark) ‘Caring for our Community’ capital campaign. She’s fresh off her impressive season of a year ago that saw her play in three LPGA tournaments – making the cut at both the U.S. Open and Manulife Financial LPGA Classic. On top of that she won the Canadian Women’s Amateur, South American Women’s Amateur and Junior Orange Bowl in Florida, to name just a few of her accomplishments. “I was very happy to be able to play,” she said of her LPGA appearances. “It was a great experience and truly a learning opportunity for me.” For 2014, she’s already won the South Atlantic Ladies Amateur Championship in Ormond Beach, Fla., and played well at the LPGA’s Nabisco championship in California, the first major of the year on the LPGA Tour. She not only made the cut but turned in one of the best rounds of the tournament on the second day of competition, shooting a four under par 68 en route to a 26th place finish. She recorded the second best score among the field of amateurs. The Grade 11 student was sitting at school, Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, when the text came to her saying she was in. With her sister, Brittany, also an accomplished golfer, as her caddy she said she felt making the cut made her happy and gave her the confidence she needs to really Training and schooling build upon her game.

not only learn about the sport, but life in general. Back home, “I am very fortunate to have a high school and teachers who are very supportive of all I do,” she noted. “I am very blessed,” she said, adding her teachers completely understand what it is she does. She has done so well in fact, she recently committed to attend the University of Florida upon graduation from SFDCI. Earlier this spring, the Florida Gators finished 18th overall in the NCAA Championship and feature a promising young team. “They have a really strong golf team,” she says, which was a big influence on her decision-making process. At school and at home, Henderson says she has a great support network. She notes her parents David and Darlene have “given up a lot,” explaining the sacrifices they have made to ensure she and her sister are able to attend their tournaments. The previous week she explains she had been in British Columbia, Virginia and New Jersey. And the summer ahead features even more travel. This week she returns to Waterloo, Ont., to take part in her second Manulife Financial LPGA Classic, having received a sponsor’s exemption. She also plans on playing the U.S. Open, the Canadian Open and she hopes to play in the World Amateur Golf championship in Japan. Currently she is ranked third in the world. Her aim, of course, is to hit the top spot. “The goal is attainable. There is a lot of hard work and dedication required,” she said. She works every day in order to grow and learn both as a golfer and as a person. And grow she surely will with her commitment and talent. “I love the game of golf,” she said with a smile from ear to ear. For someone who has played since she was three or four years old, when her father David got her and her sister interested in the game, she now hopes to make golf her career, all the while recording some important victories on tour along the way, of course. In Brockville, in support of the Riverside GM $1 million Hole-in-One Challenge, a fundraiser for the St. John Ambulance Caring for our Community capital campaign, she hopes “the small influence I have will help the campaign go in the right direction.”

real “eye-opening experience.” Intimidating at first, she hopes she will be able to play and spend time with the pros she now calls friends for years to come. Among those big names are three of whom Henderson calls favourites. The first is Morgan Pressel, an American golfer on the LPGA tour. Henderson had the opportunity to play with her last year at the U.S. Open and Pressel left a positive impression. Second, Lorie Kane, another wellknown LPGA golfer, Henderson calls, “A Canadian legend in golf and one of the nicest players you will meet.” And last, but certainly not least, her older sister Brittany. Brittany has made herself quite the household name in golf as well over the years. According to flagstick.com, an article printed March 13, 2014, Brittany “picked up her first win as a professional, taking top honours at the Black Bear Golf Club in Eustis, Florida” that Thursday. “She is a huge role model for me,” Henderson said of her sister. Other challenges Aside from the game itself, playing in the LPGA tournaments has also presented some other challenges, perhaps not only on the green. Henderson explains all the media attention and fans are two aspects she still needs to get used to. As well, distractions can become obstacles as the courses are the toughest she’s ever had to face, she said. Controlling adrenaline and reactions to what is happening around her are things she focuses on. Playing in front of large crowds can also be intimidating. She wants to perform to the best of her abilities, and adds with a smile, “I would rather play in front of 100 people than two people.” She’s becoming more and more comfortable with each passing tournament, she says, showing a level of maturity far beyond her years.

Leeds-Grenville NDP candidate says change is needed in this province By MARLA DOWDALL mdowdall@perfprint.ca
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An overwhelming number of people want change in this province, New Democrat candidate for LeedsGrenville David Lundy says he is hearing this from many of the people coming through his campaign office door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ABC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Anything But Conservatives,â&#x20AC;? he charged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re (NDP) going to put the needs of Main Street ahead of Bay Street and ensure the needs of Ontarians are met.â&#x20AC;?

The economy and job growth are issues he takes seriously. He criticized

New Democrat candidate for Leeds-Grenville David Lundy smiles as he stands beside some of his key beliefs for the campaign.
Tim Hudak, Ontario PC leader, and his Million Jobs Plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He frightens me,â&#x20AC;? Lundy said of Hudak and the plan, which calls to reduce the number of public sector jobs by 100,000. The province, as well as the riding, need good paying jobs, he said. Pointing to statistics and the number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good paying,â&#x20AC;? factory jobs which have been lost from Cornwall to Kingston over the past more than a decade, he said these jobs have been replaced with part time, minimum wage, hiring agency and contract work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are not the kinds of jobs needed to raise a family,â&#x20AC;? he commented. He has heard many stories of people working two and three jobs, just to support their family. Similarly he has seen
many young people who have poor teeth as they are unable to afford dental care. The NDP plan calls for a Job Creator Tax Credit, which would, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reward employers for creating jobs in Ontario and would cut small business taxes by 1.5 per cent,â&#x20AC;? according to the Ontario NDP website. Health care is also a focus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An NDP government will cut ER wait times in half by hiring 250 new nurse-practitioners, opening 50 new 24-hour family health clinics, creating 1,400 more longterm care beds, and implementing a five day home care guarantee,â&#x20AC;? notes the website and is a point Lundy reiterates. He pointed to the five-day home care guarantee saying Ontarians will get the help they need when they ask for it.
Also ensuring there is a 15 per cent cut to car insurance fees, as well as taking the HST off of hydro bills were also key points he referred to in the NDP plan. As for education dollars, Lundy said an announcement will be coming shortly on funding levels for college and universities. This is the second time Lundy has run, the first in 2011. Excited after election results three years ago, he noted support for the NDP increased at that time. He hopes for an even bigger response June 12 at the polls. Lundy has called the riding home all of his life. He and his wife Laura have two teenage children and live in Merrickville.

For 20 years She also helped organize the 1000 Islands Poker Run. Milks, 59, says she sympathizes with how the economic recession has affected Leeds-Grenville. The flower shop and greenhouse that she began working at as a
student, a business which she would eventually own and work at for 34 years, went out of business in 2010. But Milks says her experience running an agriculture-based business, mixed with her current experience working with a small industrial manufacturer gives her an appreciation for the diversity of the region. Milks says she believes that the two major issues facing Leeds-Grenville are the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modernization plan and the closing of the Kemptville Agricultural College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Leeds the biggest worry for people in a lot of ways is the OLG modernization plan. They (OLG) are a good employer.

lege,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that has to do with the University of Guelph.â&#x20AC;? She adds that she knows how different it is to grow in eastern Ontario than in southern Ontario, and that the region having its own college is crucial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know how important Kemptville College is to the community at large, and not just for the agricultural community,â&#x20AC;? says Milks, who took courses at the college herself while working with her greenhouse. She says she believes the best way to address these issues isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t by putting another Conservative in Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park, but by having a seat at the governing table. A table that Milks says she believes the Liberals will be sitting at after the election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leeds-Grenville needs help and I think we can push some of these local issues a little bit harder,â&#x20AC;? said Milks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see better
things on the horizon for Leeds-Grenville with Kathleen Wynne.â&#x20AC;? And Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision for the province is something that Milks believes in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really admire the woman, I admire her 10-year plan, I think it is something that will get us back to where we should be,â&#x20AC;? said Milks. But before she can represent LeedsGrenville, Milks will have to win it, and that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy against incumbent Steve Clark and the Conservatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a very strong team behind me,â&#x20AC;? says Milks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sister told me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Christine, no riding is unwinnable.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? No matter the result on election day, Milks says she is really enjoying being a candidate for provincial office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The experience has been very positive,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Smiths Falls all-candidates meeting well attended, lively, informative By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The All Candidates meeting organized by the Lanark Federation of Agriculture (LFA) in Smiths Falls and held at the Civitan Club on the evening of May 28 was well attended and animated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very lively, it was very good, but not as much about agriculture as we would have liked,â&#x20AC;? said Ted Letts, an LFA member. Well organized and carefully moderated, the meeting kicked of with four-minute introductions from each candidate. On hand were Randy Hillier MPP Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington for the PC party, Bill MacDonald for the Liberal Party, Dave Parkhill for the NDP and Cam Mather for the Green Party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you tolerate lying you breed liars, if you tolerate cheaters you breed cheaters, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen lying and stealing and cheating with this government that comes out of the pockets of the people of this
riding,â&#x20AC;? said Hillier who was the second candidate to introduce his campaign. The attack stood alone as each of the other candidates focused their introductions firmly on their partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans for moving forward. MacDonald, speaking for the Liberal Party, highlighted initiatives the Liberal Party has or is putting in place for rural Ontarians, Dave Parkhill repeatedly impressed upon the audience his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to working co-operatively with all parties to address the needs of the riding, while Green Party candidate Cam Mather pulled no punches declaring his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong commitment to the environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here to talk about is the reality of climate change,â&#x20AC;? said Mather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here to be honest with you that we have to address this.â&#x20AC;? He went on to outline the Green Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to putting a price on carbon emissions and implement a change in how taxes are collected through Carbon Tax Shifting. As he explained it,

while a low income rural Ontarian would see an increase in the price of gasoline, they would be supported by a carbon tax rebate as well as a break on their income taxes. Once the introductions were complete, the floor was opened to questions from the audience. Attendees had been invited at the start to write down their questions and hand them to the moderator. The issues raised were diverse, reflecting the mix of people in the room. Two questions and responses in particular stood out because of the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reactions. The issue of the environment was raised and candidates were asked to outline their partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to address climate change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a skeptic, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very skeptical of climate change, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen many authorities question the IPCC,â&#x20AC;? said Hillier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have problems today. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about what may happen in 50 years. We need to address the problems that are now and factual.â&#x20AC;? See DEBATE page SF4

Conservative MPP Randy Hillier, NDP candidate Dave Parkhill, Cam Mather for the Green Party and Bill MacDonald, Liberal candidate listen as moderator Gord Monroe sets out the rules of the debate at the start of the All Candidates meeting sponsored by the Lanark Federation of Agriculture at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club on May 28. The meeting proved to be highly informative, well organized and moderated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will do everything we can to find the happy ground,â&#x20AC;? said Mather adding that yields had to be protected if the world was to feed itself. MacDonald, came back with an anecdote about a friend who has lost half his hives and then outlined
initiatives the Liberal Party has already implemented, some of which have been criticized for not doing enough. Other questions raised included farm taxation, classroom sizes and school closures, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nutrition, hospital bed attrition, infrastructure and dairy

The audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction was swift and negative. The rest of the candidates said they were not so skeptical and their parties were committed to addressing the issue although Parkhill was unable to outline the NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed policies off the top of his head. Mather was direct and very clear on the Green Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stance with regard to climate change in terms of drastically reducing carbon emissions, implementing a carbon tax and steering towards a green economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have so much evidence of climate change,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Liberal Party understands climate change and is doing something about it.â&#x20AC;? He went on to outline initiatives the Liberal Party has already implemented including the Green Energy Act, which encompasses the FIT programs, the coal energy phase-out, and the Clean Energy Benefit and Clean Water Act. A question about each partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stance on genetically modified food, and the impact on the bee population also seemed to galvanize the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that genetically modified foods kill bees, the science is not clear on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening with bees,â&#x20AC;? said Hillier. There was some muttering from the audience until moderator Gordon Monroe called for order. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can patent it, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it food,â&#x20AC;? responded Parkhill going on to say that the NDP would look more deeply into the issue and work with the scientific community and farmers to find solutions. Mather was clear that the Green Party does not support genetic modification.

Council agrees to go with status quo for at least a year on pound issue By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
News - The June 2 regular Smiths Falls council meeting held at town hall was preceded by a brief special committeeof-the-whole chaired by Coun. Lorraine Allen. The meeting kicked off with a brief report by Niki McKernan, town planner regarding the disposition of land owned by the town. “We will be putting a notice in the paper with regard to land disposition for part of the Ryan Street road allowance,” said McKernan. The road allowance will remain open but a small strip of land off the road allowance will be disposed of through normal procedures according to McKernan. Animal Pound Services The manager of planning and sustainable growth, Linda McKimm brought forward a report on the ongoing issue of a proposed animal pound. Late last year the town had received a memorandum of understanding (MOU) from the Township of Montague regarding a proposed animal pound. At that time, Smiths Falls had just renewed its agreement with LAWS and declined to get involved. “The report outlined that a group of municipalities (Smiths Falls, Drummond/North Elmsley, Mississippi Mills, Tay Valley, Perth, Lanark Highlands and Montague) had been meeting for over a year to investigate the building of a new pound that would be centrally located,” said McKimm in her presentation. McKimm was again seeking council
direction with regard to the proposal after a year of meetings with the area municipalities. “We currently have an agreement with LAWS worth $25,000 a year and they have already approached us for a longer renewal this time,” said McKimm. The response from council was pretty much the same as it had been last year. “My position hasn’t changed,” said Coun. Ken Graham. “It’s a lot neater and tidier for us to remain with LAWS - and I’m not confident that we could do this and still maintain the same costs as our current arrangement. My preference is the status quo.” Graham’s sentiments were echoed by the rest of the councillors and the mayor although Coun. Dawn Quinn suggested only renewing the agreement with LAWS for one year at a time to keep options open. Exemption to procurement Ted Joynt, water/wastewater operations superintendent, was back at council asking for an exemption to the procurement bylaw to allow him to sole source an engineering assessment. The unusually large volume of water seen earlier this year is causing concern and Joynt is keen to have an assessment of the town’s bridges, docks, shorelines and spillway completed as quickly as possible so that he can access funding available through the Ice Storm Assistance Program which still has some monies available to municipalities that have suffered flood damage. The deadline for application however is June 16. “We’ve had a tremendous amount of water going through our waterways and
we need to get an engineering assessment of our bridges and the spillway done as soon as possible and Greer Galloway had done it last year,” said Joynt. Council was in agreement and a bylaw was brought forward to the regular council meeting.
Smiths Falls ‘might better meet the needs of the youth of our Community’. “We have arranged meetings at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Center, second floor meeting hall, on Thursday evening, June 19 from 6 to 9 p.m. and on Friday morning June 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon to receive your input, ideas, and suggestions related to this important topic,” said Mayor Dennis Staples. In the meantime the mayor is encouraging residents to fill out a very short online survey to help prioritize the issues facing youth in the community. The survey can be accessed at http://themomentishere. polldaddy.com/s/serving-smiths-fallsyouth
Regular Council Meeting The regular council meeting kicked off with some good news coming out of correspondence. It seems that the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, which administers the gas tax transfers has some surplus left over from last year. The association distributes the gas tax to the various municipalities holding back administrative costs. The surplus from the administration of the program means Proclamations that Smiths Falls will receive $14,000 of The mayor has proclaimed June to be surplus administrative funds.

42 William Street A bylaw was passed to amend the zoning at 42 William Street from residential to Residential Type Five – Special Exemption to allow the former Loyal Orange Lodge to be repurposed. “They are going to readapt the building for a Yoga Studio and Fitness Centre as well as a catering business and nutrition centre,” said Coun. Allen. Procurement Exemptions Two procurement exemptions were passed at this council meeting. The first was a procurement exemption to allow the town to award the Water Distribution Modelling System contract to Greer Galloway Group for up to $15,000. “This modeling will give our staff the ability to follow the flow of water and Greer Galloway are the consultants that have been working on this all along,” said Quinn. The second procurement exemption was to allow the town to award the engineering assessment of the town’s waterfront assets including bridges, spillway, docks and shoreline to Greer Galloway so that they can get an application for funding into the province ahead of a June 16 deadline. “Greer Galloway has already done much of the work,” explained Graham. The only other by-laws passed on Monday were housekeeping in nature. The first simply accepted council minutes for past meetings and the other was a renewal of the town’s parking enforcement arrangement with the Corps of Commissionaires for parking enforcement in town.

Community - This year is the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the theme for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Doors Open, Ontario. Right here in Smiths Falls the Royal Canadian Legion is rallying to the theme and has some very special events planned for Sunday, June 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to pick up veterans and widows in town and take them to a concert of World War I songs at Trinity United Church at 2 p.m.,â&#x20AC;? said Carol Levere, outgoing president of Branch 95. The Legion has also arranged for the 30th Field Artillery Regiment from Ottawa to come down with a 3C Howitzer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a police escort and will come right through the centre of town to the cenotaph where, if they can get the blank ammunition, the gun will be fired at 10 a.m. to signal Doors Open,â&#x20AC;? said Levere. The gun will then be wheeled back to the Legion where it will be parked in front, while the members of the artillery regiment will remain until around 4 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also found a Lewis World War I machine gun in the basement here between the walls,â&#x20AC;? said Doug Husson, retired air force vet and service officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It must have been put there years ago for safekeeping and I took it home and oiled and cleaned it and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have it on display downstairs.â&#x20AC;? The Canadian Room where the Legion displays all the artifacts theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve collected will also have a very special First World War artifact on hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was something that every soldier was given when they were headed overseas. A silk square with a map on it, so that they could find their way, but it was light and easy to carry,â&#x20AC;? said Levere. The Canadian Room will be open all day to visitors and will be manned by Legionnaires. Railway Museum In addition to the Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thematic efforts there are a number of new additions to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Doors Open as well as new events. The Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario, while not new, is adding an exciting activity to
a stellar line-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be firing up the diesel locomotive and inviting visitors to climb aboard a 1940s caboose to discover what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to be pulled by a first-generation diesel engine,â&#x20AC;? said Anne Shropshire, museum curator. Tickets for the train rides will be on sale at the museum and are $5 round trip with children six and under riding free. Rides will start at 11 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be showcasing parts of the station building that the public doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually get to see, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be opening up our section house where the public can see our smaller artifact collection which includes lanterns, telegraph equipment, steam whistles and more,â&#x20AC;? said Shropshire. Admission to the museum is free during Doors Open. Craine House An exciting new addition to Doors Open is the Craine House at 2 Bay Street North at the corner of Main. It was the former home of Dr. Agnes Craine, the most highly educated woman in Eastern Ontario and the most highly educated medical doctor in the area. Dr. Craine was better educated than her male counterparts and had earned her degrees in Kingston, Scotland and New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The house was the Craine family home and Agnes Craine grew up in it, and then came back and lived in it with her brother. She felt very strongly about coming back to Smiths Falls and being a role-model for young women,â&#x20AC;? said Jamie Hodge, who now owns the home which has since been turned into apartments. Because the house is occupied and was divided up many years ago by the previous owners, the public will only be able to wonder through the hallways of the home according to Hodge. Food bank Also new on the tour this year is the newly renovated, and now fully accessible Smiths Falls Community Food Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Board of Directors thought Doors Open would be a good opportunity to invite the community to tour our facility and at the same time provide us a forum to publicly thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their support. The Trillium celebration will take place at 2
p.m.,â&#x20AC;? said Carolyn Barr, manager of SFCFB. Tours of the food bank will include client service areas, the office, kitchen, pre pack room and the main storage room. The building that houses the food bank also has an interesting history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Smiths Falls Community Food Bank is housed in a structure built in 1910 on the corner of Elizabeth and Herbert streets for Robertson, Nicolle and Co. Those street names changed in 1928 and continue to be called Russell Street and Victoria Avenue. The company became one of the most up-to-date wholesale grocery warehouses in Eastern Ontario. When partners changed in 1917, it became known as the Robertson Grocery Co. and over the years it has been owned by Superior Silk Mills, Pioneer Parachute Co. of Canada, Johnson Bedding and today itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owned by Steven and Maxine Bennett,â&#x20AC;? said Barr.

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO No happier crowd has ever been seen at the C.P.R. station in Smiths Falls than the Salvation Army men and women who were here last Thursday morning on route to England. There were 150 of them and they travelled by special train. They stopped here for 15 minutes and many of them were on the platform and in the restaurant. They were all in high spirits at the prospect of the trip and the happy holiday ahead of them. Many of them were returning to the old homes in England for the first time since they had come away. They had been planning this journey for months and looking forward to it with great pleasure. Their train swept them away from here amid the waving of hats and the calls ‘for a safe voyage. That night at two o’clock the ship on which they had taken passage was sunk in the St. Lawrence and nearly all the happy crowd were drowned. Commissioner Rees, his wife and children were all lost. It was one of the saddest thing of the very sad disaster. 50 YEARS AGO Council turns down request for sidewalks and paved road in growing housing district. Report no funds available for further road projects. A delegation of residents from Frost Street and Ryan street received little satisfaction from Town Council on Monday night when they inquired why one street had now been paved and the other not given a sidewalk, for which they had petitioned two years ago. They were informed that the town just did not have the money for the job as yet and in reply to an objection that Lavinia street had sidewalks and paving which had been sought at the same time, Councillor James Kerr explained that Lavinia street is a main artery to New Aberdeen and St. James Schools and Council felt this was more important. 25 YEARS AGO Legion to provide minor ball diamond funding The way Tim Lee sees things it was the Royal Canadian Legion to the rescue. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 executive approved an $1,100 donation to the minor baseball association last Tuesday night to upgrade facilities for the 1989 season. Having brought baseball into the lives of close to 200 Smiths Falls and area youngsters this year Mr. Lee was faced recently without proper baseball diamond facilities. With the disappearance of baseball from the local sports scene more than 10 years ago the diamonds had gradually become fastball or lob ball parks. 10 YEARS AGO Federal campaign gears up in week two as chief rivals open Smiths Falls offices. With the first week of the federal election now in the books, the two leading candidates kicked off week two with the opening of their campaign offices in Smiths Falls. Conservative MP Scott Reid was first out of the blocks joining mayor Dennis Staples and Tory supporters for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 18 Russell St. E. yesterday (Tuesday) morning.

It’s not my circus... not my monkeys
L
ifestyle – I have recently developed a new philosophy in life and it’s a catchy one. In the past, when friends have told me about their problems (or asked me for advice), I would listen, empathize, and because of my nature, try to fix them. Sometimes I would get so wrapped up in others’ ordeals that I would develop pains of empathy. I would not deal with my own life and the train wreck that it was so I could help my friends out. Thanks to a colleague, with whom I share a lunch break and we often hit Lower Reach Park as it’s a great balm for both our Piscean souls, I’ve learned that other people’s problems are “not my circus… not my monkeys.” It’s all about you, she tells me. Lovely. Oh great. Just what I need… therapy.
LAURIE WEIR Weir View How easy is it to fix other people’s problems? Probably pretty easy, compared to your own, I bet. I often sit on the sidelines of others’ lives and wonder how they could get themselves into certain situations. Believe me, I’d tell them. I’ve been there. Listen to me! Pay attention! A favourite quote from my father: Do as I say, not as I do. I know how my poor parents must have felt when they saw me floundering through life,
with one loser boyfriend after another (OK, maybe loser is the wrong word… wrong-forme boyfriend/husband); one bad mistake after another; one brick wall too many. How I look back now, so full of knowledge about how my life should have been lived. If I had known then, what I know now… well, wouldn’t we all be the wiser? I realize that I am exactly where I am meant to be. My friends are too. I can’t fix them… any more than they can fix me and my life’s problems. I have learned to accept myself – the good, the bad and the ugly. And I’m OK. And when my friends tell me about their drama – I still listen. I still smile and nod. But now I don’t jump in and try and fix them or their situations because that’s not my circus, and they sure aren’t my monkeys.
LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Reader agrees with Rideau Lakes councillor
DEAR EDITOR: After reading the last two articles about the Township of Rideau Lakes and the disagreement between Coun. Jeff Banks and Mayor Ron Holman and present council, I agree with Banks completely. The mayor doesn’t seem to
have any problem taking us further and further into debt. If we are paying interest at the rate of four per cent on a $9M debt, it may seem a pittance to the mayor, but to the rest of us, it is a great deal of money. For the good of the township and its residents,
please resign Mr. Holman, before you take us into total bankruptcy. You could possibly move to Toronto, where you will fit in perfectly with the Ontario Liberals. Bill Stilwell Portland

The new format that Long is adopting is born of her own experiences. “I found that I would not go to a support group but I would seek information, and I think there are others out there like me,” said Long.

Community - Lanark County Mental Health is going to be offering a new version of the Thursday night family and friend support sessions held the first Thursday of every month. “The goal is to have both a support group and an educational component at each meeting at the Link,” said Melinda Long, family support and community education program coordinator of Lanark County. The Link is located at the Lanark County Mental Health Services office at 88 Cornelia St., behind Service Ontario. “We are peer support specialists, and a drop-in and wellness recovery centre,” said Halina Shannan, peer support coordinator with Lanark Mental Health. Long’s role is to organize and facilitate meetings on a monthly basis. Her background is in supporting children with disabilities, particularly mental health, emotional and behavioural and advocating for their needs. Support sessions have been going on for some years at the Link, but the previous moderator is leaving and Long is taking over and bringing her own touch to the meetings. “I’m also looking for input on what people want to see. I’m not necessarily changing it, but adding an educational component in a more structured format,” said Long. She plans to have guest speakers at these sessions to make presentations on relevant topics. At the June 5 event, for example, the guest speaker was a pharmacist. People with mental illnesses have
ous and persistent mental illness. SFT provides mental health resources and information on the topics associated with daily living as well as the mental health recovery processes. The course will cover topics such as: schizophrenia and psychosis; treatment options; coping as a family; the mental health system and criminal justice system and advocacy and support. The course runs over four weeks with one session each week, it is free and open to anyone interested.

Community - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a meandering path to ministry but it seems to have been a guided journey. On June 20 Jill Turnbull will arrive at her destination to be ordained as a Presbyterian minister right here in Smiths Falls at a 7 p.m. service at Westminster Presbyterian Church on Beckwith Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; originally I thought I would do prison ministry but the opportunities kept coming up and I realized I loved the lay ministry. You can journey with people from birth to funeral and celebrate life. I can be a part of the trials and tribulations, the joys and celebrations,â&#x20AC;? says Turnbull. As it happens her congregation feels as strongly about her as she does about them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twenty-one of us went this year to see her graduate from Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very proud of her,â&#x20AC;? said Gib Hodge, the Presbytery representative within the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hierarchy. Turnbull has just earned her Masters in Divinity with a concentration in Restorative Justice, an interest she puts to good use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I go to Collins Bay Institution in Kingston every Friday; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a medium security institution. I volunteer and am facilitating a course on Anger Life Skills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so looking at anger in a more positive way,â&#x20AC;? she says. The weekly visits to the prison are important to her and give her the energy to come back to her lay ministry she says. While she says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited to become the newest local minister her journey has been anything but direct. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked at Camp Iowa as a leader in training and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I first contemplated the whole ministry thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so I ended up going to Brock University and did a degree in Physical Education, then I went to Griffith University in Australia and did a Masters in teaching,â&#x20AC;? she recalls. When she got back from Australia a year later she completed a six month placement at Rideau District High School in Elgin, then promptly started working for the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds. She stayed with them for two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During that time I was talking to the minister here, Rev. Jim Patterson as well as having these great conversations with my best friend who was at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? she remembers. It was during one of those â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;great conversationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with her best friend that the idea of divinity came up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day she said to me, why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you go back to school and study theology,â&#x20AC;? says Turnbull. The idea took hold, and Turnbull
decided to do just that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had felt a calling but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see being a minister,â&#x20AC;? recalls Turnbull, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had this idea of what a minister was and it just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t me.â&#x20AC;? The young woman with the spiky blond hair is certainly not what most of us think a minister might be, but there is something compelling about her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has a friendly contagious spirit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very positive dynamic about her,â&#x20AC;? says Paul Birley, lead pastor at Bethel Pentecostal in Smiths Falls. Indeed her fey spontaneity and contagious smile are hard to ignore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has a very special touch,â&#x20AC;? says David Stead, pastor at First Baptist Church Smiths Falls, right across the street from Westminster. It was while she was doing her masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that her grandmother called her and asked her if she could come and help out at the church. The reverend at the time was Eric Muirhead, and when he became ill and started having difficulty speaking, he asked Turnbull to lead funerals at first and then to preach more regularly. At that point Turnbull had already had two seasons of preaching in the U.S. Then in 2011 Muirhead became too ill to work and Turnbull found herself taking on more and more of his duties. In 2012 Muirhead passed away and the church elders asked her to come on and do pastoral care as well as worship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when I expressed an interest in ministry, Session wrote to Presbytery and they passed it on to the General Assembly and then it filtered back down,â&#x20AC;? says Turnbull. This past weekend Turnbull was at the General Assembly so her name could come forward as a candidate for ordination. Once ordained Turnbull will be able to perform the three sacraments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; marriage, baptism and communion - she has so far not been sanctioned to do. Her strengths she says are listening and not judging. The latter, she says, was easy considering sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d grown up with three brothers one of whom suffers from mental illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My weakness right now is time management â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I get very excited and interested in things so finding my own Sabbath is a bit of a challenge,â&#x20AC;? she says with a laugh. She says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working on finding that balance, because as she explains, the statistics are that ministers burn out within the first five to eight years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be one of those statistics,â&#x20AC;? she says with a grin. In the meantime the Smiths Falls ministerial is thrilled to have her join them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to have a lady minister joining us right here in town,â&#x20AC;? says Birley, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have a younger voice on the ministerial.â&#x20AC;?

Although we may think this is a treat for the animal, we must look at it from the animal’s perspective. We treat them as part of our family but we need to learn when this may be harmful to our pet. As the weather gets warmer, our pet, whose natural cooling process involves drinking water to keep hydrated, pants to cool itself as opposed to humans who have sweat glands. When left in a very hot environment such as your unattended vehicle it can be dangerous to your pet and may cause irreparable damage to them as they are unable to cool down and eventually they will overheat. Your vehicle can act like a sauna when closed even with little or no sunshine. Please do your pets a favour and leave them where they will be more comfortable and safe. The Smiths Falls Police Service receives numerous complaints every year about animals being left in the vehicle while the owner goes into a store. We have heard all of the excuses from, “I was only in the store for a minute” to “it’s not that hot out.” Sometimes pet owners need to put the animal first. The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society have introduced Operation VALUE (Vulnerable, Animals Left Unattended Everyday) awareness campaign. There are several Laws and Acts to protect animals such as “Permitting Stress”. This can be defined as being in need of proper care, water, food or shelter or being injured, sick or in pain or suffering or being abused or subject to undue or unnecessary hardship, privation or neglect.
• Sometime between 8 a.m. and 5:25 p.m. on May 28, vehicle parts were stolen from a driveway on Lawrence Street. The parts from a 1948 Ford F1 truck include a front axle, rear axle, and a transmission. If you have any information on these or any other crimes call Smiths Falls Crime Stoppers at 613-284-CASH (2274) or 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Percy R. Gilman died during historic battle for Juno Beach By JOSH VINCENT Edited by Chris Smith and Blake Cameron
News – The following is part of a series of research papers completed by Grade 10 History students at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute as part of the Lest We Forget program. The features focus on residents of Smiths Falls who made the supreme sacrifice for their country during World War II. Percy Royston Gilman, Captain August, 1910 – June, 1944 Percy Royston Gilman was a 33-yearold soldier who died while fighting overseas during the Second World War almost 70 years ago. He was born on August 11th, 1910 in Llandaff, United Kingdom to his mother Sarah Jane Gilman and his father Clement Percy Gilman. Percy was married to Margret Helen Gilman (remarried as Margret Helen Ketchum), He did have dependents, their names being: Peter Royston Gilman (born on October 1st, 1935), and Brian Gilman (born on May 7th, 1940). Percy completed High School in Nepean, Ontario from 1925 to 1930. He was employed as a Laundry Operator until the time he enlisted. He lived at Florence Street, Westboro, Ontario. His religion was Common Era. Percy signed up for the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps on August 23rd, 1940. He went into the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps as a Lieutenant. On June 6th, 1944, a major military operation took place. This involved taking control of France, starting on the beaches of Normandy. This was largest seaborne military operation recorded, making it the day that the allies retook Europe from the Nazi party. On August 24th, 1940, Percy was attached to the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps as a Lieutenant. He was posted to Brockville, Ontario on September 26th, 1940. Percy then was taken on strength of the Second Troop Carrying Company on April 17th, 1941, still as a Lieutenant. He left Canada on October 6th, 1941, and arrived overseas in October 7th, 1941. On November 3rd, 1941, Percy was granted a five-day

Percy was granted his first privilege M.B. Bell, Major J.F. Fitz Randolph, Lieut. R.A. McDonald, and Capt. A.J. leave on January 21st, 1942. On Febru- Foley. ary 28th, 1942, Percy was notified that he was leaving the Second Troop Carrying Company and on March 1st, 1942, he was moved to the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps again. No immediate events happened in 1943, although, in 1944, he embarked from the United Kingdom on June 2nd, 1944 and disembarked in France on June 6th, 1944. The following was on his Military Movements File, but is not necessarily true. He was reported missing on June 8th, 1944 and was declared killed in action that same day. There are five different beaches in Normandy; Juno Beach, Gold Beach, Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, and Sword Beach. The Canadian Forces were in charge of securing Juno Beach. On the same day and at the same time, the United States army was in charge of securing Omaha and Utah Beach while the British army was in charge of securing Gold and Sword Beach. On June 5th, the wind drops, but the waves get rougher. Operation “Overlord” is announced that it will be taking place at H-Hour. All of the soldiers are briefed on their directions and orders. The loading crafts head towards France to a place called Juno Beach.

Capt. Royston Gilman’s Memorial after widower’s death on June 1, 2000. On June 6th, 1944 at 7:45 a.m., the first wave of Canadian fighters leaves to Juno Beach. The waves pound the landing crafts hard, shaking the people inside it. Once the German’s see the Landing Crafts closing in towards France, they use heavy artillery to kill anyone who comes. Once the Landing Crafts come close enough, their ramps drop down and the soldiers jump out into the water. As it opens, soldiers begin to fall immediately.
There is some discrepancy on how many soldiers died on D-Day at Juno Beach. Some say 340 soldiers died on Juno Beach. Others say 359 died. It is unclear when Percy Gilman died overseas, as on his gravestone and memorials it says he died on June 6th, 1944. Within Veterans Affairs Canada and his Burial Notice to his wife, it is declared he died on June 10th, 1944. His death certificate is difficult to understand, although it is seen, faintly, June
8th, 1944. This would secure the “reported missing” statement in his Military Movement File, which occurred on June 8th, 1944. After Percy Royston Gilman’s death, his medals were entitled to his wife, Margret Helen Gilman. Margret was given Percy’s 1939 to 45 Star (awarded after soldier has given after six months of duty), France-Germany Star (awarded if a soldier had given service in D-Day or the few days following), Defence Metal (awarded between September 3rd, 1939, to May 8th, 1945 for six months of service in Great Britain), War Medal (awarded if a soldier worked full time for 28 days in the armed forces and merchant marines from 1939 to 1945), and the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal with clasp (awarded to any soldier who volunteered in World War II for eighteen months). He is buried at the Beny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery located in Normandy, France. Percy Royston Gilman grave reference is Grave 2, Row F, and Plot 1. “NEVER BLOWS SO RED, THE ROSE AS WHERE, SOME BURIED CAESAR BLED.”
Station Theatre offers romantic comedy, Loving, playing through month of June Community - What do an operating room nurse, a storage business manager, a police officer and a host of a morning radio show have in common? Well, if they are characters in the next play being staged by the Smiths Falls Community Theatre, they are all ‘Looking’ for love – for the most part, in all the wrong places. This hilarious comedy, written by one of Canada’s most popular playwrights, Norm Foster, follows the sometimes bumbling attempts at dating for a foursome of single, middle-aged people. The writing is sharp and witty which allows the audience to get to know and empathize with each individual character. This small but extremely strong cast includes Mike Adams returning to the stage as Andy, manager of a storage business. Andy is lonely and wanting to meet a woman to spend his life, or at least some time, with. He decides to run a personal ad in the local paper in order to find someone. Val, the OR nurse, played by Katharine Coleman, responds to his ad and agrees to meet for a date. Jamie Schoular, as Matt, the radio host and Sheila Jasiak, as Nina, the police officer, agree to tag along for the date as buffers and supporters to their friends although they both think only losers answer personal ads. Of course, nothing rarely goes as planned in a Norm Foster comedy as the buffers become the daters, even if Val and Andy don’t seem to quite hit it off.
The play, which is also being directed by Ms. Coleman, has a very minimalistic set which was chosen to keep the fast pace of the play on track and to allow the audience to focus on the relationships between the characters and the dialogue. The lighting is the fifth character in this play and will be used in a creative way, to focus the audience’s attention on the emotions and intimate interactions taking place. Audience members will be able to relate to this play in so many ways. Some will be able to relate to the awkwardness of trying to find someone new in a dating minefield, others will be just grateful, as they turn to their spouse, that they don’t have to deal with the minefield any longer. However, seeing as this is being touted as a ‘romantic comedy’, one can assume we will have a happy ending. It’s getting there that is the roller coaster of a ride. ‘Looking’ runs for two weekends at the Station Theatre, 53 Victoria Ave. in Smiths Falls. The dates are June 12, 13, 14, 20 and 21 evening shows at 7:30 p.m. and two Sunday matinees on June 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students with ID. They can be obtained at Special Greetings at 8 Russell Street E. in Smiths Falls, online at smithsfallstheatre.com, by phone at 613-283-0300 and at the door the day of show (if Submitted photo available) a half-hour before curtain. Submitted by the Smiths Falls Community The- Cast of Looking sits around the table on set during rehearsal at the Station Theatre. The atre. show will play for two weekends this month and kicks off June 12. THE EMC - SF14 - Thursday, June 5, 2014

SFDCI athletes seek university rugby spots Sports - The inaugural seasons for the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute RedHawks girls, junior and senior boys rugby teams was a great success. With more than 80 students participating on three separate teams it was a busy spring. All three teams competed as an ‘independent’ accepting exhibition matches from teams all over eastern Ontario. All three teams hosted tournaments in Beckwith, and the senior boys attended a tournament at Queen’s University in April. The senior boys and the girls were able to play an exhibition schedule with the already established Leeds and Grenville Secondary School Athletics Association (LGSSAA). In six league games the girls went 5-1 with
163 points for and 15 against with their only loss coming to two-time OFSAA representative South Grenville DHS by a score of 5-0 early in the season. In five league games the senior boys went 5-0 with 195 point for and 7 against. With the field situation throughout the Upper Canada District School Board it was difficult to practice a lot of the strategies needed to fully understand the sport as a new team. Despite this setback the growth and improvement of all three teams was incredible. The sport has really taken hold with SFDCI students with many looking to play club rugby this summer and several being invited to try out as an eastern Ontario representative who will compete for national championships this summer in Calgary (boys) and Prince Edward
Island (girls). Dani Ferguson-Jamer has been invited to try out for Carleton University Ravens varsity women’s team in the fall and Destiney Sherman is hoping to work her way onto the Western University Mustangs squad this fall. Both the girls team and the senior boys team have huge numbers of players returning to SFDCI for 2014/2015. How young these players are make their accomplishments even more impressive. Planning has begun to take the boys and girls out west to Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver to play matches for the spring of 2015. Staff, administration and the entire school body have been incredibly supportive of this new and exciting sport to the school.

SFDCI’s junior boys rugby team will host the number one seeded team from Manotick on Friday.
Junior boys rugby team to host first place Ottawa school on Friday The boys were all new to the sport and have worked extremely hard in practice at understanding the game and getting better as a player and as a team, said their coach, Blair Cathcart. They have gotten better each and every game. SFDCI hosted a tournament on May 1, defeating Ridgemont HS, Ashbury College and falling to St. Mark’s. On May 16,
they traveled to Ottawa in awful, rainy and muddy conditions, defeating Colonel By and falling to St. Pius and St. Mark’s. The team then travelled to Woodroffe HS on May 27 and defeated the Tigers 52-15. The team would love the support of a strong home crowd cheering them on Friday at 1 p.m. Submitted by SFDCI.

Plenty of excitement this June at Full Circle Theatre Arts – Even though Vacant House Theatre are Otttawa’s newest professional theatre company who have already had a solid, well-received hit with their very first production, the Leah Cherniak, Robert Morgan, Martha Ross comedy, The Anger In Ernest And Ernestine; when they bring that show to BarnDoor Productions’ Full Circle Theatre in Perth this Friday (June 6), they will be stepping onto a stage (as a company) for the first time! The paradox of that is that The Anger In Ernest And Ernestine is a play about a young couple living in a cramped basement apartment, which Vacant House Theatre performed last April in Ottawa – in a cramped basement! Moving onto a stage makes for a very different experience for both performers and audience, and the young troupe are excited to find out what those differences will be. That Vacant House is up to the challenge is evident from the reviews of their first production: “This is a very special theatre experience, folks, and I definitely urge you to strap on your backpack...for (an) outing you won’t soon forget,” said Kevin Reid, writing in The Visitorium blog. Valerie Cardinal, On Stage Ottawa said “... a charming tale, alternately touching, hilarious and absurd. I think Leah Cherniak, Robert Morgan and Martha Ross’s script can rightfully be called a modern Canadian theatre classic.” The Anger In Ernest And Ernestine is about a young couple learning to live with each other and Vacant House’s production of it is funny, exciting and captivating. Featuring a cast of young regional professionals, including Perth’s own Alexis Scott who has previously appeared on BarnDoor Productions’ stages in The Chimes and Dark of the Moon, it’s a unique opportunity to see a Canadian classic in a fresh and funny staging by up and coming new talent. The Anger In Ernest And ErnesSubmitted photo tine runs for three performances only, Friday, June 6, Saturday, June 7 at 8 Karina Milech and Patrick Kelly are Ernestine and Er- production The Anger In Ernest And Ernestine to p.m. and Sunday, June 8 at 2 p.m. at nest when Vacant House Theatre brings the Ottawa Perth’s Full Circle Theatre, June 6, 7 and 8 only.
Full Circle Theatre. Hard on that, BarnDoor Productions will launch an event-filled summer at Full Circle Theatre the very next Friday. That’s right, June 13, which is an appropriate and auspicious date for the show that is opening, the classic thriller Gaslight. Patrick Hamilton’s 1936 script is a tense, engrossing psychological thriller that made stars of Vincent Price and Angela Lansbury. It’s a tale of a woman’s descent into madness – but why and how is a story that is as filled with flickers and glimmers and uncertainty as the gaslight that provides the mood of the play. Set in mid-Victorian times, Gaslight (or Angel Street as it was called on Broadway) has been made into two movies, in 1940 and 1944, the second starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. It has even become a psychological term, “gaslighting,” meaning to cause someone to question their sanity. BarnDoor Productions (BDP) has brought their own brand of high-energy, high-excitement performance to the show, trimming the now-public-domain play by some forty pages, turning it from a rather old-fashioned three-act into a tense, fast moving and gripping two hour production. Those who saw last June’s Deathtrap from BDP will remember the kind of edge-of-the-seat excitement that Gaslight will re-capture. Theatre-goers should note: Gaslight, and BDP’s July/August production of the classic comedy The Country Wife, will begin at a special “summer” start time, 7:30 p.m. for evening performances and 1:30 p.m. for matinees. Gaslight will run June 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 at 7:30 p.m. and June 15 and 22 at 1:30 p.m. Along with some special musical events this summer and the presence of workshops and performances by The Academy For Musical Theatre, Full Circle Theatre will be busy, indeed this summer. Information can be obtained and tickets for Ernest And Ernestine and Gaslight can be reserved by calling 613267-1884 or going to BDP’s website at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

Key stuck in ignition leaves motorist seeking help
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
at least removed for cleaning, repair, or replacement. Any good quality lock deicer will have a light lubricant formulated into its make-up and a shot or a few drops twice a year (depending on the environment) should keep things moving. The most common failure on any vehicle with a remote trunk-lid or lift-gate release is the seizing of the lock cylinder on these panels. They are exposed to a constant barrage of wet salty brine from our winter roads and they seldom get used as drivers prefer the convenience of the power release. If you’re faced with replacing one of these, your costs can be reduced by treating the lock cylinder to a little desalination bath with CLR Brand calcium, lime, and rust remover. If you have the skills or can coerce a home-driveway technician to remove the lock cylinder for you (it’s a fairly easy DIY job), simply place it in a bowl with enough CLR to cover it. Remove any attached plastic parts. The cylinder will immediately start foaming as the cleaner dissolves the salt de-
posits. This and a little elbow grease with a used toothbrush can bring a stubborn lock back to use avoiding the price of a new one. Keep in mind, most off-shore brand vehicles (and even some Detroit-Three models) don’t supply non-coded lock cylinders; they are only available pre-coded with a new key. “Hi Brian We have a BMW sedan that has a feature where the engine turns off when stopped in traffic or at a light and automatically turns back on when you press on the accelerator. It has an on/off switch just below the main start button. We often find this ‘eco stop-start’ feature is on even when we have turned it off. We assumed we accidentally brushed by it and accidentally turned it back on but you got me wondering...is that part as flimsy as GM’s and does driving over bumps, etc., affect it by turning it on and off?” Many thanks, Colette This idle-stop feature that is present on all gasoline-electric hybrids and is now being ad-
opted by traditionally powered vehicles as a fuel economy system, started being used by BMW on their 3 and M series and even the Mini line back as early as 2008. But unlike hybrids, the BMW version has its share of detractors thanks to a reportedly harsh and delayed take-off from a stop after the idle-stop had turned off the engine. The driver option to defeat this (by means of the dash button) is reset to active (idle-stop on) every time the vehicle is restarted. M series owners are able to deactivate this feature on a more long-term basis by selecting a ‘last-user’ mode that ‘remembers’ drivers’ preferences. Other BMW lines can have this done via a computer re-flash at an authorized dealer. BUSFUSION, a Volkswagen camper camping event returns to the Almonte Fairgrounds from June 5 to 8.

Lifestyle – “I read a recent article on ignition switch and lock concerns with interest. By coincidence, yesterday my key got stuck in the ignition and could not be removed. This is on a 2012 Hyundai Accent Hatchback. When the mechanic finally removed the key by disassembling the steering column, we could see a slight scarring barely visible to the naked eye on the key. Could you tell me if this is a problem that the Accent has or could the key have been scarred in some other way that caused the problem The mechanic had to ‘wiggle and jiggle’ to get the key out.” John The Accent isn’t particularly known for ignition lock problems but these symptoms can appear on just about any automotive lock cylinder. The cause is most likely a lock tumbler that isn’t retracting to let the ‘cuts’ of the key pass by as it’s going in or out of the lock. The tumblers are equipped with small springs and travel in a machined slot. Dirt, grit, and dust can accumulate and cause tumblers to stick. Simply spraying in a lubricant may not solve the situation and in some cases this might make things work. Never use spray lubricants with any thickness like lithium grease (they can trap dirt). If a few drops of light lube don’t solve things, the lock will usually have to be disassembled or

Diamond in the rough: a 1964 Impala SS convertible transmission. Dave had a special reason for wanting to buy this car. He had learned to drive on his parents’ light blue ’64 Impala 2-door hardtop. It had a 283 with Powerglide, plus tilt steering and a rear seat speaker. On July 20, 1969 (the same day Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon), young Dave was on a motor trip with his parents when they stopped at a motel in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Their ’64 Impala broke down and they had to get the valves ground the next day. After getting home, Dave’s parents bought a new car and the ’64 Impala was retired to Dave’s grandmother’s farm across from Colasanti’s north of Ruthven. Dave as young as eight began bombing around on the farm in the ’64 Impala hardtop. Now he has a ’64 Impala SS convertible. It needs a new floor but he got the engine running, and all engine parts are original except for an H.E.T. distributor (more
reliable than points). When I last talked to Dave about his car, he said he was planning to give it a complete mechanical restoration but not a cosmetic restoration, which would entail new paint, new interior, new whitewalls, new top, new chrome, etc. I hope to return for more coverage of this car with this title: “Twice the fun for half the money.” I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free auSubmitted photo tographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETEC- Dave Taves with his 1964 Impala SS convertible.

Lifestyle – It arrived at the home of Dave Taves north of Leamington, Ont., on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2013: a weather-beaten 1964 Chevy Impala SS convertible. Dave works with Dan Fistor in nearby Windsor. Dan’s brother bought a five-dollar lottery ticket in London, Ont., in the 1980s and won the car! It was running and driveable but needed work. Dan’s brother parked it in an underground garage in London and the last license sticker was for June 1996 when Dan’s brother passed away. Dan inherited the car. The car now came to Windsor to Dan’s brother-in-law’s heated garage. Before that, it was stored in a pole barn and had to be moved three times because of loss of storage. One day nearly two years ago, Dan phoned Dave to say someone wanted to buy the car, and he asked Dave what he thought it was worth. An offer for $2,500 had come in and the odometer reading was 38,613 miles. Dave asked Dan if he might regret selling it. Dan thought about this for another year, then sold the car to Dave. It arrived at Dave’s house on a trailer. It has the original 283 V8 and two-speed Powerglide

Students speak of experiences in Guatemala mission trip News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board meeting held May 20 at the board office in Kemptville. The CDSBEO board of trustees had the privilege of hearing testimonials from Catholic secondary students who had the opportunity to participate in the Guatemala mission trip over March break. Clearly moved by their lifechanging, profound experiences, the group gave an emotional and heartfelt account of their time in Guatemala, and how they were particularly moved by the children at the Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos (NPH) Orphanage. Thirty-nine students, along with ten supervisors, from seven secondary schools, participated in the experience. Upon their arrival, the group travelled immediately to the NPH Orphanage in San Andres, approximately one hour from Guatemala City. Working at the orphanage was truly the core of the Guatemala mission trip experience. Here, the group stayed for six days, assisting with construction projects, building maintenance, gardening, and teaching English lessons. After-work activities at the orphanage included soccer games, dancing, and lots of interaction with the children. Participants then left the orphanage and visited the lakeside resort town of Panajachel on day seven, where they had a guided tour of a
Mayan village and visited a local market. On day eight, participants had a guided tour of Antigua, the old colonial capital, and enjoyed a group dinner at a local restaurant. This special evening was an opportunity to reflect upon and discuss the experiences they encountered throughout their time in Guatemala. Each person who attended the trip brought with them supplies to help the orphanage which included games, playing cards, and colouring books. In addition to toys and other fun items, ten suitcases filled with clothes, blankets, toiletries and school supplies, as well as one suitcase full of medical supplies were brought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These would have made a world of difference to the nurses and the children,â&#x20AC;? explained Phil Boyd, a student from St. Luke Catholic High School, during his testimonial. The trip provided students with the opportunity to make a difference in a global community, and many commented on how this experience has helped them to understand poverty, and that happiness can be achieved despite lack of material goods.

Catholic Education Week Each year, the Catholic community of Ontario engages in a weeklong celebration of the unique identity and distinctive contributions of Catholic education during Catholic Education Week. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration entitled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Catholic Education: Serving in the Love of Christâ&#x20AC;? took place the week of May 4 to May 9. The week began with the celebration of the annual board-wide mass, which was led by Bishop Marcel Damphousse of the Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall. Superintendent of school effectiveness, Marg Shea-Lawrence, gave an overview of the weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events, which was followed by a video presentation. Throughout the week, CDSBEO schools shone a great light on the ways in which CDSBEO Catholic schools serve in the love of Christ. The week was marked by special activities and events for all grade levels, including prayer celebrations, service activities, celebrations of the arts, sporting events, and fundraisers; indeed the spirit of service was the hallmark of each event. The video, which highlights some of the many happenings at CDSBEO schools during Catholic Education Week, can be viewed on the CDSBEO YouTube Channel (www.youtube.com/CDSBEOVideo). Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

2015 Nissan Micra: Good things really do come in small packages
BRIAN TURNER
erage sized adults without cramping. A tall roof line which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drop to the rear protects head-room for rear passengers. Wide opening doors mean easy entry and exit and the hatchback lift-gate has a suitably low lift-over height for easy cargo loading. Large windshield and door glass surfaces give a great view outwards and help to alleviate the impression of being in a sub-compact. And surprise; the rear door windows actually go all the way down! Cup holders and storage pockets abound in the Micra, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect console armrests or storage bins. On the road, the Micra is surprising-

My Take MARK HASKINS
made a mistake. Unfortunately only true loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kiss can break the curse, and Maleficent doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe such a thing exists. Maleficent is a rich and gorgeous movie. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of fantasy you can completely immerse yourself in and become lost. The detail, the colour, the lighting everything evokes a sense of wonder and awe. It is a true work of beauty. The plot is intriguing. There are no villains or heroes in the traditional fairy tale sense. There are simply people who make mistakes, and either try to make amends, or allow themselves to be ruled by them. It gives the classic tale a very modern twist. Sharlto Copley expertly crafts the character of Stefan as a flawed and mortal king. Sam Riley is brilliant as Maleficentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shape-changing raven. Elle Fanning easily falls into the role of the innocent and naive princess. But of course the real story here is Angelina Jolie. Maleficent is wonder and power. She is an unearthly force of nature and Angelina Jolie revels in every inch of this character. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sight and a performance to behold. Fairy tales have a way of capturing our imagination which is probably why we keep telling them over and over again. Maleficent continues that tradition. Mark Haskinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Every generation has its fairy tales or, to be more precise, their version of fairy tales. These stories have evolved and changed with every telling over hundreds of years. Maleficent is the latest re-telling of a classic fairy tale, and what a re-telling it is. In this tale of Sleeping Beauty there are two kingdoms at odds with one another. In one kingdom lives the mortals, and in the other lives the magical fare folk. Among them lives the fairy Maleficent (Angelina Jolie). As the biggest and strongest of the fairies she is their self-appointed protector. As a child Maleficent met a human. The two became friends and over time became something more. Maleficent loved Stefan (Sharlto Copley), but Stefan was ruled by ambition. He betrayed Maleficent by stealing her wings to secure his throne. It broke Maleficentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart, and she vowed vengeance. When King Stefan and his Queen have a daughter Maleficent takes it as her opportunity for revenge. She curses the little princess then leaves Stefan to wallow in his despair. Stefan, in a blind panic, does all he can to avoid the curse including secretly sending his baby girl to live with three pixies. All the while Maleficent, and her raven Diaval (Sam Riley), watch the princess waiting for the curse to take hold. Maleficent protects the young babe, and watches over the little girl, until one day Maleficent steps from the shadows to meet Aurora (Elle Fanning). The meeting is not what Maleficent expected, and she wonders if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

out sacrificing performance. NRCan ratings for the Micra automatic are 8.8 L/100 km city and 6.6 L/100 km highway (32 mpg and 43 mpg respectively). As this vehicle is not for sale the US, there are no EPA ratings available. The 41 L fuel tank should provide a mixed driving range of just over 450 km and cost about $47 to fill at $1.33/L. On the maintenance side of the coin, the Micra promises to be just as cheap. The P185/60R15 tires on my tester are available from a very wide selection of makers with many in the $100-$175 price range. Front brake pads and rotors will set you back $92 and $97 respectively, an air filter costs $22, and a dealer oil change runs around $40 (no synthetic oil required). For a great commuter car that can serve a variety of tasks well at an outstanding price the Nissan Micra is well worth a look and a test drive.

ly peppy and the longer-than-average wheelbase for this segment, allows for a solid and smooth ride as well as more interior space. Its exterior aerodynamics minimizes the effects of cross-shear winds and keep things quieter than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect for a car of this price. The 109 hp engine output allowed the Nissan team to use a final-drive gear ratio that keeps the engine from revving high at highway speeds and leaves some reserve power for passing and lane merges. Even the use of A/C doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause a hunt-and-surge engine speed syndrome that plagues a lot of small displacement engines. In-town manoeuvering is a breeze thanks to the Micraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall size, good sight lines and an electric power-steering system. While this vehicle is aimed squarely at urban commuters, it is quite capable of longer treks without passenger discomfort. The reasoning behind a dual fuel injection system (two injectors per cylinder) was to provide a 57 per cent finer fuel spray for improved mileage with-

said Christian Meunier, president of Nissan Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been extensive support from the global leadership team to make this happen, recognizing the potential of the Nissan brand within Canada, and the importance of bringing cars that will resonate with Canadian consumers.â&#x20AC;? If it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already been drilled into your head from preliminary advertising, the Micra starts out the price journey at $9,998 for the entry-level version with a 1.6 L DOHC 4-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The power plant is equipped with dual fuel injection and variable valve timing and puts out 109 hp. My tester from Smiths Falls Nissan was the SV version with an automatic transmission priced at $13,698 (all prices before destination fees, taxes, and any current incentives). The top dog in the Micra clan; the SR comes in at $15,748. My SV level was impressively equipped with power windows/locks, cruise control, air-conditioning, remote keyless entry, rear wiper, rearview camera, cell-phone hands-free system, six-way driver seat, steering wheel controls, audio with auxiliary inputs, and a block heater, (yes, it was made for Canada). While this is a subcompact, interior room is comfortable with higher-thanexpected seating providing leg comfort for longer journeys.

I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Nissan Micra I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Smiths Falls Nissan. Nissan has fired a major shot across the bows of their competitors with the introduction of a sub $10,000 vehicle and from a first drive aspect; it looks like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten things right. The 2015 Micra is setting some new rules in this game and consumers are destined to be the winners. While the Micra is aptly named a global car by Nissan (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being sold in 160 countries), it will not be offered for sale in the US. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very rare to offer a car in Canada that is not also offered in the United States and with Micra, Nissan will be the only mainstream automotive brand to bring a high volume car specifically for the Canadian market,â&#x20AC;?
Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Installing a carbon-monoxide alarm near the sleeping areas of your home will alert you to the presence of this deadly gas. It is a good idea to invest in a battery-operated alarm that will continue to work during power failures.
