EMC News - Council received a reality check on the cost of construction this week when they received and approved a $40,000 out-of-budget expense to cover the full cost of putting permanent washrooms in Centennial Park this season.

“I support it as much as I was wishing it wasn’t going over budget,” said acting mayor Lorraine Allen.

That was the consensus by most councillors who unanimously supported the outof-budget expense in favour of seeing the washroom facilities in the park this summer.

“I can’t see turning our back on $60,000,” said Coun. Jay Brennan.

He’s referring to the provincial grant the town received to complete the project. At the time of approval the project called for barrier-free access, upgrading of plumbing and electrical services, washrooms, and rough-in for future kitchen services all of which would act as a tourism services building. Staff felt scaling back the project, as Coun. Shawn Pankow initially

Beating the heat EMC News - Lower Reach Park was busy on the weekend with football. The heat was overwhelming at times and children watching the football games took time to go over to the splash pad at the Kinsmen Community Pavilion to cool off. Here, Alex McGlade of Perth enjoys a waterfall from one of the water buckets at the splash pad.

suggested, might mean losing the funding and having to retender the entire project, delaying it even further.

Coun. Dawn Quinn, who has been championing this project for a number of years, voiced her desire to see something the town can be proud of even if it means building it in phases and taking other avenues besides the grant to realize it.

“I truly believe what we do down there should be first class.

I really don’t think we should be building anything less,” Quinn said.

She noted a number of local businesses and trades people have voiced their support of the project and their willingness to do what they can to keep costs down and see it come to fruition.

“Maybe that’s where we should be going is out into the community,” Quinn suggested.

She noted fundraising will continue to pay down the outof-budget expense over time through the town’s festival and other fundraisers and urged the community to continue to support this local cause.

Relay for Life event lights up Friday night

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – There is strength in numbers and nowhere is that more evident than with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fundraiser.

Locally, the rebirth of the Smiths Falls Relay for Life kicks off this Friday evening, June 7 at 7 p.m. at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI). In nearby Almonte, the Mississippi Mills Relay for Life in Gemmill Park will also unfold that night, with both events concluding at 7 a.m. Saturday morning, June 8. Over the course of those 12 hours, teams will come together to walk and run the track, honouring those who have lost their lives to cancer and celebrating the ones who have beat it.

This is the signature annual event for the Canadian Cancer Society and funds raised will benefit the local Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit, based in Perth. This year’s edition of the Relay is particularly poignant as 2013 marks the 75th anniversary of the society.

“We want everyone in the community to come and visit us (in Smiths Falls and Mississippi Mills) noted Amanda Gifford, fundraiser coordinator of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society.

“See what Relay for Life is all about and hopefully next year they’ll be so moved by the event they’ll want to put in a team.”

Gifford indicated that the opening ceremonies for both Relay for Life events begin at 7

p.m., followed by the Survivor Walk and the parade of teams.

Once the sun goes down, the track will be illuminated in light during the emotional luminary ceremony, set to take place at 10 p.m.

Gifford said monies brought in from the Relay for Life will go towards cancer research, as well as local support services, including transportation and peer support programs.

Smiths Falls Locally, the Relay for Life is being revived in a big way this year. Having previously been held at the Lombardy Fairgrounds for the past 14 years, organizers have moved it to the SFDCI track in an effort to engage the community more.

The theme ‘Groovin’ For a

Cure’ was announced during the Relay launch back on March 7 at Chuckles Jack in Smiths Falls.

Participants are encouraged to travel back in time to the 1960s and dig out those bell bottoms.

“It’s a cozier setting based on participant feedback,” noted Canadian Cancer Society volunteer engagement coordinator Laurie Blackstock of the venue switch, back on March 7.

“This site will provide us with a sense of community. It’s smaller and will bring people together more.”

Forty-one teams walked and ran in last year’s Relay, which included 451 participants, 97 survivors and the lighting of 532 luminaries. According to Gifford, similar numbers are on par for this Friday’s event.

“We have 22 teams on board and quite a few are very large.

Participant numbers are more than we expected, so we’re happy,” she remarked.

A total of $149,000 was raised at the Lombardy event last year, short of the $223,000 goal. Because this is the inaugural year for Smiths Falls, Gifford said no goal has been set.

“We’re not sure what to expect this year,” she said. “...We’ll raise what we can and go on from there for next year.”

Mississippi Mills Gemmill Park in Almonte will be transformed into an exotic destination as the second annual Relay for Life event there carries the theme ‘Tropically Relaying for Life.’

Former Central Frontenac mayor to fight for rural families as Liberal candidate for LFLA EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former Central Frontenac mayor Bill MacDonald has been nominated as the official candidate for the Ontario Liberal Party in the next provincial election, pledging better representation for the rural and small-town families of Lanark-FrontenacLennox & Addington.

MacDonald was officially nominated June 1 during a Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington Provincial Liberal Association nomination meeting at St. James Major Catholic Church hall in Sharbot Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am honoured to represent the Ontario Liberal Party and support Premier Kathleen Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of a fiscallyresponsible, fair society,â&#x20AC;?

MacDonald said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to being the voice for real, positive change that will help people in their everyday lives here in Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because our families deserve better representation.â&#x20AC;?

An owner of a logging and forest management company in Sharbot Lake, MacDonald has a comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing families and small businesses. In his 18year experience in municipal government he has served for nine years as mayor of Central Frontenac and two years as warden of Frontenac County. He has volunteered with Frontenac Lodge, Sharbot Lake United Church, and the Sharbot Lake and

District Lions Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since 2007 our riding has been stuck in the gridlock of fruitless opposition politics,â&#x20AC;?

MacDonald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its current PC MPP is focused on opposition stunts, ignores our most pressing issues, and even votes against budgets before reading them. During my 18 years as a local councillor, mayor, and county warden in Frontenac, I have always put the needs of our community first. As your MPP I will be your strong voice in government at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park and work for what is in the best interests of all communities across this very large riding.

MacDonald especially looks forward to championing the commitments made in Premier

Kathleen Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 budget and working for several important local projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 15 per cent reduction in auto insurance will be a huge help to families here in Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to investments in rural and small-town infrastructure, improved home care for seniors, and better jobs for our youth, the priorities of her budget will help people in their everyday lives. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right vision for rural and

small-town families, the right vision for Lanark-FrontenacLennox & Addington, and the right vision for Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

UCLG awards $2.75 million contract for County Road 44 overpass EMC News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council, joint services committee, and United Counties’ governance and finance committee meetings are listed below.

Counties council has awarded the County Road 44 and Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) overpass replacement project in North Grenville to Dalcon Enterprises. Dalcon submitted the lowest of four tenders at a cost of $2.75 million.

CPR is to cover 85 per cent of the overall costs to a maximum of $2,025,885, leaving the Counties share at approximately $700,000 to $800,000 and including the Leeds Grenville share of the design and construction administration cost and contingency amounts.

The Counties budget has provided for a total of $1.3 million for the project.

Regional cultural plan under consideration The Leeds and Grenville joint services committee has asked Counties staff to prepare a report on the viability of a regional cultural plan.

The request comes after a presentation this week by Howard Alexander, a founding member of the newly-formed Brockville Arts Council. Alexander is proposing a regional plan involving all Leeds and Grenville municipalities as cultural activities are a tourism draw and are a creator of economic development.

A regional program will help market cultural, recreational, and sporting events, Mr. Alexander said. He noted more than half of the Brockville Arts Council members are from the area outside of the City of Brockville.

Maple View Lodge arbitration award The United Counties of Leeds and Gren-

ville and the Ontario Nurses Association received an arbitration award on May 15.

The Ontario Nurses Association (ONA) represents the Registered Nurses at Maple View Lodge, who certified on July 29, 2010.

Maple View Lodge, located in the Township of Athens, is a 60-bed facility owned by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

It employs three full-time, four part-time, and six casual staff members represented by ONA. After extensive bargaining for a first collective agreement, the outstanding issues between the parties went before an arbitration board as required by the Hospital Labour Disputes Arbitration Act. The term of the first collective agreement is from Aug. 17, 2010 to Dec. 31, 2012.

Counties council was advised that staff will be meeting with ONA representatives to ensure an efficient implementation of the new collective agreement. In addition, Council was advised to expect a significant impact on the budget for Maple View Lodge as a result of the arbitration award. A study of the full financial impact is continuing.

One of the requirements of a board of arbitration is to take into consideration the employer’s ability to pay, in light of its fiscal situation. The United Counties also requested the board take into consideration a long held view that a first contract award ought not to introduce a collective agreement that would be typical in a mature bargaining relationship that has taken numerous rounds of bargaining.

It does not appear to the United Counties that the arbitration board took either of these two key factors into account.

Counties human resources manager, Kristen Argue-Hobbs said the Counties values the care provided by the Registered Nurses. However, the arbitration award is disappointing to

Forget fast and furious, try slow and cautious at Slow Bike Race

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The annual Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Slow Bike Race was held in the parking lot of the Lanark County administrative offices in Perth on Wednesday, May 22, to kick off bike month.

The winner was actually the politician who crossed the finished line last â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost seems counter intuitive to a bunch of people genetically pre-dispositioned to finish first-past-the-post, as it were.

Organizer Jeff Mills, while he had everyone lined up at the starting line, could not resist the opportunity to do some lobbying for his beloved pet project of expanding shoulders on county roads to accommodate bikes.

Who could blame him, seeing as he had a bevy of county politicians in front of him, a captive audience, if only for a minute, awaiting his word.

While Mississippi Mills mayor John

Levi literally went off the rails and ended up on the edge of the parking lot, the race was â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonâ&#x20AC;? by the slowest of the slow, Lanark Highlands Township Deputy mayor Brian Stewart.

UCDSB to host fifth annual Champions for Kids Fun Run/Walk June 16 in Kemptville have the choice.â&#x20AC;?

Crawford said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also thrilled that the event has once again partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville which will be hosting Ribfest at the same location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both events have one common goal in mind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to support children in our communities,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the walk/run, participants are invited to visit Ribfest next door and enjoy the kids zone, face painting, bounce house, petting zoo, pony rides, skee ball, basketball, arcade games, balloons, and of course, ribs!â&#x20AC;?

Prizes will be awarded to the participant who raises the most money in pledges, has the best costume (for centipede teams), shows the best spirit and is the youngest and most senior in age.

Registration begins at 9 a.m., with a 10 a.m. start for the one-kilometre event and a 10:15 a.m. start for the five-kilometre event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past four years, we have contributed over $10,000 to Champions for Kids. It is truly rewarding to know that the money raised goes right back into the hands of families who see the benefits immediately.â&#x20AC;?

The minimum pledge is $20 for families or individual runners, and $100 for centipede teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve run twice now,â&#x20AC;? says North Grenville District High School principal Steve Sharp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a wonder-

ful experience; lots of fun with my family and colleagues for a great cause. Then we got to eat some ribs!â&#x20AC;?

Crawford would like to thank TD Canada Trust locations in Kemptville and the Brockville Shopping Centre for their ongoing support of this event. For the last three years, TD has sponsored student centipede teams from schools in their local area.

New this year, branch managers from Perth, Prescott and downtown Brockville have joined in to sponsor teams from Glen Tay Public School, South Grenville District High School, and Brockville Collegiate Institute.

Crawford would specifically like to thank TD representatives Kimberly Bologna of Kemptville, Joe Dorrington of the Brockville Shopping Centre, Michael Rath of Perth, Lisa Tyo-Chatterton of Prescott, and David Keenleyside of downtown Brockville for getting on board.

In addition, Crawford would like to thank accountant Anthony Fritz for sponsoring a Lyn Public School team, Team Solutions for sponsoring a team from Big Brothers Big Sisters, St. Lawrence College for sponsoring two teams to participate, and Walmart for sponsoring a student team from Kemptville Public School for the third year in a row.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is gearing up to host its fifth annual Champions for Kids Fun Run/Walk called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strive for Five!â&#x20AC;? on Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day (Sunday, June 16) at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville.

This year, event organizers have a goal to raise $5,000 for the foundation which supports families of children who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to play sports or enjoy the arts outside of school hours, as well as families whose children require medical care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so excited to reach this goal, and we know we can do it,â&#x20AC;? says event chair Sarah Crawford.

As in previous years, participants are invited to participate in the onekilometre or five-kilometre walk/ run as individual participants or centipede teams. Centipede teams are groups of five to eight people who walk or run in costume and stay tied together in some unique way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we are challenging schools, staff, school councils, community partners, daycare providers, and all interested parties to submit a centipede team of at least five members,â&#x20AC;? says Crawford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Centipede teams are a lot of fun for groups of families, friends, or coworkers.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also understand that some of us would rather finish the event individually, and not tied to a team,â&#x20AC;? laughs Crawford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That option is still very popular too!

Healing through horses with Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program

By PAGE TAYLOR

EMC News – Have you ever wondered how a horse can help?

Since 1986, the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program (LCTRP) has been enriching the lives of both human and horse alike by providing specialized lessons for those with physical and/or developmental disabilities. The program, which celebrates its 27th anniversary this year, offers rehabilitation and recreation for children and adults from ages two to 70, with some of the older riders having been with the program for almost 20 years.

Cedar Rock Farm, near Perth, run by owner Pat Nolan, is one of the two farms in the region that offers lessons, the other being Willaway Farm near Carleton Place.

“Today, there are more one-on-one kids (pairings), so we have more volunteers. Ideally we need nine,” said Maria Hofbauer, the riding instructor for both farms, during a lull between the horses getting brushed and tacked up and the kids starting to arrive during a recent visit. Looking up at the bloated clouds looming over the outdoor riding arena, Hofbauer confessed that this Wednesday lesson may need to be put on hold.

“The horses have to be very quiet and people-tolerant,” she said. “But if it thunderstorms, even these horses get uneasy.”

Nickers from the four steeds nearby seem to punctuate her statement. The horses, two decked out in English saddles and two dressed in mere bareback pads, waited patiently beside volunteers for their riders. Their names are as pleasant and friendly as they are – Monkey, Cricket, Ebony and Calabar.

Out in the riding field, Jane Irwin, a volunteer with the LCTRP for close to

six years, set up a table with colorful plastic toys and foam swords. Framing the toy table, which stands in the center of the field like the hub of a wheel, are poles that protrude from the ground in a perfectly straight and evenly spaced line. Weave poles, as they are called, are used in a more relaxed version of the sport “pole-bending” where horses duck in and out around them at a walking pace.

Balancing on top of the poles are large, plastic rings.

“These are the rings that they pick up and we ask what color they are,” Irwin explained. “The volunteers will hold up the rings and they (the kids) have to get it with the sword.”

She demonstrated by spearing the foam sword through the ring. It may not be jousting, but the activity is a great way to practice balance and handeye coordination, “which the little boys just love,” Irwin chuckled.

However, the program doesn’t aim to put the cart before the horse when it comes to the physical benefits of the lessons. Improvement happens gradually, but when it does, it is a victory.

“We had a little boy who couldn’t sit up on his own, and was too impatient to listen to stories. With the program, his balance improved and his parents saw him at home sitting quietly and coloring and it’s pretty amazing,” Hofbauer expressed.

But the physical improvements are not the only positive of the program.

Another benefit that is gained through therapeutic riding is the self-assured air instilled in humans that goes hand in hand with being around horses. It is often said that horses can sense emotions, and that calm, purposeful movements are needed to reassure the horse. The riders build confidence with the free-

dom that horseback riding offers.

“We had another little boy who didn’t speak, but after a few months, he would walk around his house saying ‘Whoa Ebony, whoa Ebony,’ which is what the volunteers were repeating to the horse he was riding,” continued Hofbauer.

As the kids start to arrive, the horses were brought to the mounting block and volunteers helped the riders onto the horses. Bennet Kaslof, who has been with the program for two years, was all smiles as he was set atop the dark mare Ebony.

“It was a struggle at first, but now he gets excited when the time comes,” commented Bennet’s father, Larry Kazlof, as he watched the lesson with the other parents.

“It’s so rewarding,” attested Jane Irwin in whispered awe from behind the fence. “I’ve never seen Eila smile before.”

Eila VanWingerden, riding astride Cricket, has been in the program for five years, and has seen improvements in her trunk control and balance.

Despite the success and longevity of the LCTRP, Hofbauer noted that keeping it running can be difficult.

“We have to apply for grants every year, and we are always looking for volunteers and donations,” she said, going on to explain that Cedar Rock Farm plans to build a walk-in-shelter for the horses once the funds have been acquired. Saddles are also required, among other equestrian equipment.

Hydro One helps save butternut trees in eastern Ontario on the endangered species list.

In 2006, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) started the Butternut Recovery Stewardship Planting Program to find and collect seeds from healthy, native, pure butternut trees. The seeds are then planted and grown in hopes that some may be naturally resistant to the butternut canker disease. One-year-old butternut seedlings are distributed to participating landowners across eastern Ontario

to re-establish the population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased to be able to contribute to the recovery of this important tree species,â&#x20AC;? said Terry Forrest, eastern Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forest technician supervisor for Hydro One. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hydro One is committed to preserving and protecting this important species for future generations. By partnering with organizations such as the RVCA and local landowners we can work together to achieve significant environmental

projects throughout Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

Rose Fleguel, RVCA butternut recovery specialist hopes these seedlings will replace the dead and dying butternuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have planted over 14,000 butternut seedlings since 2006,â&#x20AC;? says Fleguel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope the seedlings will grow vigorously enough to reach seed bearing age and continue the existence of the butternut tree.â&#x20AC;?

It is unknown whether some butternut trees have any resistance to the

disease, although some researchers believe it likely exists in some individual trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an unknown as to whether these seedlings will be the key to saving this beautiful tree,â&#x20AC;? says Fleguel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be idle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we need to start the recovery process now.â&#x20AC;?

Participating landowners help by monitoring the trees, reporting back each fall to track the over-all survival of the seedlings each year.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Reader says earlier pesticide letter lacks “substantiated evidence” DEAR EDITOR: Stew Hamill’s letter to the editor (May 30) concerning Jeff Maguire’s earlier opinion piece on the pesticide ban lacks any substantiated evidence and certainly contains no rational discussion or scientific authority.

Hamill admits that everything he says to justify the ban is just opinion and speculative. Further, he suggests that toxic chemicals are a “leading candidate” in the death of birds and people, but surely the toxicity is the issue in a discussion of the ban. Asserting as fact that the chemical is toxic, in a debate as to whether the chemical is toxic, leaves little room for discussion.

In fact, the academic research I’ve reviewed concerning 2-4,D overwhelming declares it not a danger to humans or animals. Of course, in the mind of Hamill and those like him – liberal progressives” I think they’re called – it’s not open to discussion. “It’s for your own good, you

know; chemicals bad, me good, so take it or leave it.” The tyrant indoctrinates the masses, through lies and half-truths, to achieve his own interests, which of course are not saving birds or people, but control and power. The masses, minions now mini-tyrants, follow willingly, believing the tyrant’s interests are their interests. Nowhere is this more clear than in modern environmental activism.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.” (C.S. Lewis) Terry Bennett Carleton Place

COMMENTARY Rally for Relay EMC Editorial – Something inspiring is happening this Friday, June 7 and Saturday, June 8 and you’re all invited.

The Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute track and Gemmill Park in Almonte will be illuminated with candles and messages of hope and remembrance during the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life celebrations.

The signature event for the society, the Relay is a 12-hour inspirational event where participants, cancer survivors and sufferers come together to walk and run throughout the evening. They will listen to music, share stories and make new friends as they raise funds for cancer research.

And all of the funds raised through the Mississippi Mills and Smiths Falls Relay for Life fundraisers stays in Lanark County and will be used for cancer support services as well as transportation and peer support programs administered by the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society.

This year in Smiths Falls, marks the rebirth of the fundraiser as it will be held for the first time at SFDCI, having previously called the Lombardy Fairgrounds home for the past 14 years.

Anyone who hasn’t experienced the Relay, either as a participant or onlooker, certainly should. To witness the triumphant smiles on faces during the Survivor Walk, or read the handwritten notes to loved ones who have passed on during the nighttime luminary ceremony, it puts into perspective why this is so important; to make cancer history.

For more information about the Relay for Life, make a donation or purchase a luminary in memory of a loved one, visit www.relayforlife.ca.

Once given a chance, dandelions had a place at the table EMC Lifestyle – “Woman, we have been eatin’ those on this here farm for a hundred years,” Father said to Mother.

I could see Mother wasn’t impressed.

“They’re weeds, Albert,” she said.

“Plain and simple weeds. I never heard of anyone eating weeds!”

We were at the breakfast table. And we five children were looking at Mother and Father as if we were watching someone in a tennis match. I didn’t think Father was going to win this one!

The subject under discussion was dandelions. They covered what we called a lawn, but was really just our front yard, since we didn’t own a lawn mower, but when the grass got too high, one of the brothers tackled it with a scythe. It was hard to tell what was grass and what was dandelions.

On the way to school that morning, I asked my much older and wiser sister Audrey if she ever heard of anyone eating dandelions. She said she had. Once at her friend Iva’s house. She couldn’t remember what they tasted like.

Now, it wasn’t unusual for Father to whip up a German meal. In fact, we all enjoyed what he cooked...all except fried blood pudding which I even

had trouble looking at when it came to the table. When he fried sauerkraut, it never tasted at all like the batch Mother would make. Father would rinse it many times, put it in a fry pan with butter and chopped onions, and it wasn’t ready to eat until it had turned a golden brown.

His German potato pancakes were usually made on a Sunday night. The potatoes were shredded, rinsed, squeezed dry, and then mixed with eggs and of course, chopped onions. We kept him busy at the Findlay Oval turning out his pancakes barely giving him time to eat them himself, we loved them so much.

Of course, they were well lathered with butter and maple syrup too.

And now it was dandelions. Well, I was with Mother on this one! I had no desire to eat weeds that were pulled out of the front yard where goodness knows what animal had trampled all over them.

No siree.

That Saturday morning Father ordered the boys to meet him in the yard with their jack-knives. He was carrying a milk pail and got down on his knees right in the middle of the yard, and showed the brothers how to dig up a dandelion, right down to, and includVice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

ing the root. It didn’t take long to fill the milk pail.

He hauled the pail over to the cement step at the pump and filled it with water. He sloshed the dandelions around with his arm in the pail up to his elbow, dumped the water out, and repeated the performance. Mother was standing at the kitchen door with her arms folded across her chest, as if defying Father to bring the weeds into the house.

Well, that’s exactly what he intended on doing. He laid out a spanking clean tea towel on the bake table, and shook what water he could off the dandelions and laid them out flat, cutting off the long roots. Then he folded the towel over the pile of weeds and patted it with his flattened hand.

time this was going on, there wasn’t a word spoken between Mother and Father. It was as if they hadn’t laid eyes on each other in their entire lives.

Father took down a big pot from the shelf over the stove and piled in the dandelions. He poured in a scant dipper of water, sprinkled in a handful of salt, and slid the pot to the front of the Findlay Oval. Then he went over to his rocking chair, lit his pipe, crossed his legs, and waited.

The table had already been set for dinner...we always had dinner at noon hour...supper was what we had at night, and Mother had roast pork and potatoes in the oven. It looked very much like we had a choice...either eat the dandelions as a vegetable, or settle for sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.

Father was certainly in charge of the big pot, already boiling gently on the stove. Mother was having nothing to do with it. He tested the innards with a fork, and when they were done to his liking, he poured the dandelions into the sieve, pressed them down with the wood spoon, and plopped them into a big bowl.

He took the wood spoon, dug it into ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

the butter dish, almost emptying it, and swirled it into the dandelions. He set the bowl in the middle of the table, and we all looked at it, no one daring to be the first one to dig in.

Emerson, the most daring of the lot of us, took his fork, and tested one boiled leaf. I never took my eyes off him. He rolled it around in his mouth, and reached out for the bowl, ladling a heaping pile on his plate. “Just as good as your potato pancakes,” he said.

Well, it didn’t take long for the rest of us to take a small bite, which led to us piling the dandelions on our plates and even Mother, dared to taste a fork full.

It didn’t take long for Mother to admit that the dandelions had a place on our dinner table. She did demand to oversee the washing of every last leaf, however.

From that Saturday, like Father’s potato pancakes and fried sauerkraut, his boiled dandelions often found their way to our plates.

She did however, draw the line on eating the fried roots. Father said she didn’t know what she was missing. “I’ll take that chance,” Mother replied.

EMC News – Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville will receive a Fire Safety Award from the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council at a ceremony on June 12 in Toronto.

The annual Fire Safety Awards recognize outstanding contributions to fire protection and prevention in Ontario.

Rob Wittkie, a former volunteer firefighter, and his wife Kitty Wittkie, an employee of Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, are well aware of the importance of fire safety to the lives of children. So much so that in 2009, they approached the Lanark County fire chiefs with some ideas about making the homes of vulnerable children safer from fire.

To enhance safety, Wittkie and her supervisor, Pat Finnagan, developed the following strategy to ensure client homes were being protected by working smoke alarms.

When a caseworker visited a home, he/she would check for working smoke alarms. If there were none, the caseworker would supply them.

If any major fire safety issues were noted, the fire department would be contacted to follow up. The idea received the fire chiefs’ enthusiastic support, and the program was underway.

Since the inception of this initiative, 381 smoke alarms and 96 batteries have been distributed to clients of Family and Children’s Services in Lanark County.

In 2011, Rob was called to testify at the inquest into the deaths of a mother and two children in a Toronto house fire.

The Crown Attorney’s office was aware of the Lanark County program and felt that, since the fire victims had been under the care of the Children’s Aid Society, it would be of interest to the jury.

As a result of those inquest recommendations, a provincial program involving Children’s Aid Societies across Ontario has been implemented.

“The Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville has been instrumental in getting important life-saving information to those who are sometimes hard to reach,” said Ted Wieclawek, Ontario Fire Marshal and chair of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council.

“Thanks to Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, hundreds of families in Lanark County are now protected by working smoke alarms.”

The Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council gratefully acknowledges the support of its sponsors in this event: Technical Standards and Safety Authority, The Co-operators Group, Kidde Canada Inc., Home Depot of Canada Inc., Proctor & Gamble Inc., Electrical Safety Authority, CSA Group, Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., Roxul Inc. and Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada.

Chubby Checker becomes honourary resident of Beckwith Township promoter,” he said.

Over the years the two have stayed close, visiting and staying with each other.

Checker resides in Philadelphia with his wife of nearly 50 years, Catharina.

In the summer of 1960 he became a sensation with his version of Hank Ballard’s song, ‘The Twist’. What’s more, Checker’s dance, The Twist, transformed movement on the dance floor – people dancing apart to the beat.

His career is laced with honors and legacies, including 36 hit records, 250 million records sold and a 2012 induction into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.

These days, Checker still maintains a plump schedule of concert performances and personal appearances.

Darnell-Stokes is also a musician. During the ‘60s and ‘70s he performed throughout Ontario, Quebec and the eastern U.S. with his band, the XL’s.

Chubby Checker performs a song on the piano at the Beckwith Township municipal office on May 16.

He was in the area visiting Chuck Darnell-Stokes, his longtime friend and resident.

R0012141409_0606

EMC News – He was born Ernest Evans, but people worldwide know this American singersongwriter as Chubby Checker.

In the area last month for a performance at the Casino Lac Leamy in Gatineau, Checker called on his longtime friend, Beckwith Township resident Chuck Darnell-Stokes.

“The day before the show (May 16) he was visiting and wanted me to show him around,” said Darnell-Stokes.

The duo made a special stop at the municipal office, thrilling both staff and Reeve Richard Kidd.

“I was honoured to have Chubby Checker drop into the township office,” said Kidd. “Having an international entertainer sing while playing our piano will go down in Beckwith history.”

He thanked Stokes for organizing the afternoon.

In recognition of his visit, the township’s leader presented Checker with a plaque on behalf of council, declaring him an honourary resident of Beckwith Township. The performer was thrilled with the recognition.

Darnell-Stokes said Checker is a very downto-earth person, someone who always remembers his friends. “He is a shy type,” he continued, “and when he is not performing, he is very reserved.”

Darnell-Stokes would love to bring his friend back to Beckwith Township to headline a fundraiser for the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. Unfortunately, associated costs would be in the region of $35,000 and backers would be required.

He said the show could be held at the Beckwith Recreational Complex, and other entertainers – a mixture of country and rock and roll – might include Marty Stuart, a five time Grammy-winner and Grand Ole Opry star, as well as Canadian group Ambush (made up of Mark McDonell, Riq Turner and Tom VanCoughnett).

Approximately 2,500 people attended Checker’s show on May 17 at the Casino Lac Leamy.

Any businesses, organizations or individuals interested in supporting a possible concert can contact Darnell-Stokes by email at westone@storm. ca.

Smiths Falls fly-in breakfast busy despite weather

By JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com

EMC News – Despite the windy and off and on rain showers that swept through the area on Sunday, the annual fly-in breakfast at the Smiths Falls Flying Club went off without a hitch.

Organizers, according to the vice president of the club Bernie Scobie, have in the past, planned for at least a thousand visitors but the weather has the final say. “In the past,” said Scobie “we would have pilots from as far away as western Canada come for breakfast.”

There were not many flyers enjoying weekend trips thanks to the weather but as usual the flying club had a full house of hungry visitors for breakfast who arrived by car. The breakfast has become a

60-year tradition for the club.

One pilot, Don Kugler from New Jersey made the trip up to Smith Falls for the breakfast. He set out from the Sky Manor airport before the weather became an issue. Sky Manor is located in Pittstown New Jeresy.

“It is a small privately owned public use airport that myself and a group of other pilots own,” explained Kugler.

He comes up every year when he can and stays at his parent’s cottage. He lives in New Jersey and in Florida. This year it took Kugler only an hour and forty-five minutes to make the trip which is 240 nautical miles and more than 6 hours by car.

Kugler flies a Vans RV-8. “It is a high performance custom built airplane that I completed construction on in 2003,” said Kugler. The

airplane took five years to build. It currently has 1100 flying hours to its credit. The small but efficiently designed airplane seats two people and is made entirely of aluminum. The airplane has a cruising speed of 175 knots which on the ground would be the equivalent to 210 miles per hour Helping out with all those breakfast ham and eggs are a great group of volunteers including members of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets 585 Rideau Squadron.

The cadets have been helping out with the annual flying club breakfast for the past fifteen years said Captain Richard Buckley.

The cadets volunteer to help with serving the breakfast and clean-up as well as keeping the parking organized and marshaling any aircraft that arrive at the club for the breakfast.

Household Hints

Small museums offer window to local history

R0012141598_0606

EMC Lifestyle – Museums have been high on my personal radar recently. So much so that I am moved to offer some thoughts about the role museums play in the life of every community that has one or more of these important institutions.

I am a founding member of the Roy Brown Society in Carleton Place which is dedicated to developing a full-fledged aviation museum.

Carleton Place residents made a significant contribution to the incredible story of flight. Most prominent among them is Captain Arthur Roy Brown. He is the First World War flying ace who shot down Germany’s Baron Manfred von Richthofen on April 21, 1918 during a dogfight in the sky above war ravaged France. Richthofen, later nicknamed ‘The Red Baron’, was the highest scoring airman of World War I with 80 victories to his credit.

The first phase of what, hopefully, will be an even larger museum, is now open in historic Moore House located opposite the Carleton Place Town Hall. The initial displays, most of which are dedicated to Brown and 14 other World War I pilots from Carleton Place, are now available for public viewing on Friday and Saturday afternoons.

I took a shift at Moore House Friday on behalf of the society. It was very quiet because word is not yet out that the museum is open to the general public.

The photographs and artifacts our small group has compiled to date are fascinating. They offer insight into a local story which, surprisingly, has achieved very little recognition here since the fateful aerial showdown between Brown and Richthofen 95 years ago.

The Brown-Richthofen saga is far better known internationally than it is in Canada. The evidence is in the

large number of books written on the subject as well as the massive amount of material available on the world-wide web. Some of the items currently on view in Moore House were purchased via the Internet.

For any readers planning to visit Carleton Place in the near future there is also an impressive mural depicting the aerial battle in 1918.

The spectacular, 40-foot by 40-foot mural was formally dedicated during a ceremony last November. It is painted on the side of the building which houses the offices of local MP Scott Reid and MPP Randy Hillier at the intersection of Bridge and High Streets. That’s on the opposite side of the Central Bridge from Moore House.

Local museums, such as the fledgling Roy Brown facility, are a window to the communities they serve.

Through displays of all kinds they offer visitors an opportunity to trace the history of the community and the district to which they are dedicated.

Two years ago we visited Germany and France in the company of our friends and regular travel companions Frank and Wendy LeBlanc.

During his military career Frank spent 11 years criss-crossing Germany as a member of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. His wife Wendy (she is now the mayor of Carleton Place) was a teacher who taught at several schools during her

time in the country.

Local museums During our 2011 visit we were based in the picturesque village of Gengenbach in the breathtaking Black Forest region of southwest Germany.

From there we also toured the Alsace wine producing region of east-central France.

In my opinion no visit to any country is complete without checking out some of the local museums.

On our first full day Wendy scanned her guidebook and discovered a museum in the village of Steinach, not far from Gengenbach, they had never been to.

Not unlike small museums here this particular facility is run by volunteers. An affable, elderly gentleman welcomed us. He and Frank, who is fluent in German, were soon engaged in conversation.

All four of us were fascinated by the little Steinach museum which is filled with many excavated artifacts including a large collection of arrow heads and weapons (among them

Connected to your community

were numerous hand fashioned knives and small tools) from past civilizations.

Our guide directed us to the basement, a rather musty smelling place. It contained many more interesting objects from the history of the community and the region.

The visit left us wanting more and we found that in the numerous centres, large and small, we toured during our 10day stay.

That’s the thing about local museums. They provide snapshots (often literally) of the communities they serve, giving visitors an introduction to the district and the country they are exploring.

It is no different here. I am sure the local museum where you live has a great deal to offer. Unfortunately most people tend to ignore some of the wonderful places and opportunities available in their own communities. Small museums struggle to attract an audience. That’s a shame because so much hard work goes into the displays and the information available is incredibly interesting and important.

On May 17 my wife Kath-

leen and I attended the opening of the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum’s 2013 exhibit. The museum is located in the former Victoria School, the same place where one Roy Brown attended classes when he was a lad growing up in Carleton Place.

This year’s exhibit is entitled ‘Traveling Through Time.’ It’s an ingenious way of promoting, not time travel, but rather how Canadians, and specifically people in our district, got around over the years.

From a photo of the steamer which once plied the waters of the Mississippi River and lakes, to a look at the first motor vehicles here, to souvenirs of the taxis and the buses (do you remember Colonial Coach?) which once served the area, the display offers intriguing glimpses of how the transportation network developed locally.

In winter horses and cutters, skis, snowshoes and even skates were among the modes of transport favoured by many.

There’s also a look at how traveling salespeople impacted the economy as well as information on the service stations (local garages) which were so

important before the arrival of major automotive dealerships.

I spent a lot of time viewing information, documents and photos in a cabinet dedicated to the late George Doucett (18961974). Besides operating his well-known insurance business he also served as both the MPP and MP for this district. Doucett spent 20 years in the provincial Legislature including serving as the Ontario Minister of Highways. Among his many accomplishments was overseeing the

development of Highway 400, a major provincial artery which runs north from Toronto.

Among the transportation artifacts on display is an old wooden spoke wheel. The photo collection includes some historic pictures featuring Bennett Motors and the late Vic Bennett Sr. The firm continues to operate very successfully here.

The Carleton Place museum display perfectly illustrates what I am attempting to articulate this week. Local museums

are far too important to miss.

Take the time to visit the museum in your community soon.

I’m sure you won’t regret it!

I think this rather profound statement, which I have heard a number of times, helps sum up the role of museums in our lives, “If you don’t know where you’ve been, how can you know where you’re going!”

Parrot aviary plans in motion for 2013 opening

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC News - Polly wants an outdoor aviary and thanks to a $5,000 grant from Intuit, the animals of Parrot Partner at the Gallipeau Centre are closer than ever to their goal.

“I’m thrilled,” remarked Judy Tennant, lead trainer at Parrot Partner upon hearing of the grant application’s success.

Intuit’s Love Our Local Business grant represents half of the funds needed to complete the outdoor and indoor aviary space for Parrot Partners in their new Smiths Falls home. In the next couple of weeks the non-profit organization will launch an online voting campaign in hopes of adding another $5,000 to the project’s budget.

“It’s an exciting time,” Tennant said.

The funds will help to complete both bird spaces while providing a nest egg to cover immediate and future veterinary bills. Tennant explains because parrots can live up to 80 years their health care often becomes quite complex and expensive with only one avian vet in the region available for their care. Many times when the health of birds fails owners find they simply can’t cover the care costs.

This is when the birds are released into the wild or a place like Parrot Partner comes in to provide the care and love needed.

“We’re creating a community of care around the parrots,” Tennant said.

She hopes this community of care will include the active seniors who will one day make their home at the Gallipeau Centre. The new facility will welcome visitors to go into the aviary and interact with the birds as well as view them from outside the security mesh. Parrot Partner is looking to

develop partnerships with all current and future centre tenants including The Hub. Tennant said in order for everyone to succeed they will have to work together to offer unique packages that will attract tourists from Toronto, Kingston and other major centres.

“It’s a challenge but I think we’re up for it,” she said.

Tennant is currently looking at design plans with JA Gallipeau Construction who will complete the work. Intuit congratulated Parrot Partner for being the only Canadian entry to successfully receive funding and to win in such a big way this round.

“We’d like to congratulate Parrot Partner for the win, and we also like to thank all those in the community who participated in the program by voting for and sharing Parrot Partner’s wish,” said Stephen Sharpe, Intuit Canada spokesperson.

“The great thing about the Love Our Local Business program is that it shows how valuable small businesses are to the local community.

Judy’s wish for Parrot Partner was successful because it was compelling, inspiring, and something the whole community could really get behind.”

The local project shot to the top of the voting charts with a final count of over 14,000 online votes.

The next closest competitor in this year’s race came in at 8,521 votes.

Sharpe confirmed Parrot Partner’s success breaks the record for any Canadian winner.

Tennant admitted she went into the competition with a game plan of reaching out to the organizations with large email lists and struck gold with bike clubs and religious organizations who urged their members to vote for the project virtually every day.

“It was actually the bikers and the nuns (who) came through for us,” Tennant said.

Once this was completed, the group targeted international animal activists and explained why parrots needed their support among any in the animal kingdom.

“We had votes coming in from (around) the world,” Tennant said.

Undertaking such an online campaign is hard work and something of an emotional roller coaster for Tennant whose heart has always been with the birds and what they need.

Parrots’ intellectual ability makes it critical that they have opportunities to interact with humans and other creatures, while their physical makeup makes flight a necessity.

Tennant sees her new home at the Gallipeau Centre as a solution on both fronts by providing an outdoor and indoor home for her friends.

Plans also include renting out the gym on occasion to offer bird flight demonstrations where the animals get their exercise and spectators can see them in action for a small donation.

As work on the aviary continues, Tennant is also looking to build up her program in anticipation of more birthday parties and visitor exposure.

She welcomes any adult who might be interested in a part-time job as a lead trainer to contact her at www. parrotpartner.com or 613-253-2253.

The organization also welcomes youth trainers for their Parrot Trooper program.

Those aged 13 and up are urged to apply. No bird experience for either position is necessary, but a love of animals and enjoyment in working with the public are key.

This is a part-time job like no other.

Parrot Troopers learn how to relate to

and handle non-domesticated animals and shape behaviour using positive reinforcement. Troopers establish a trusting relationship with a parrot and train behaviours appropriate for the

BUILDING From front page

The loss of the grant funding and the possible delay into another year was not palatable around the horseshoe and council approved the $40,000 outof-budget expense and awarded the contract to JA Gallipeau Construction for $141,885.06. The local builder was one of two tenders received. The second came from Guy Saumure & Sons

Construction for $178, 343.12. Council had budgeted $135, 313 this year for the project, but demolition ran about $30,000 leaving roughly $100,000 remaining for the new Murphy Building to be built.

Coun. Ken Graham noted the town was able to salvage quite a bit of building material from the demolition that it hoped would bring down the cost

of the project. The town’s festival and other fundraisers have added $10,000 to this financial picture thus far.

According to Brennan, the former Murphy Building was built in 1986 in honour of Dr. W.O. Murphy who practiced in town for many years. His son John, who works in town, has long been supportive of the plans to build something improved in its place.

Library repairs will bring façade back to original splendor sroy@perfprint.ca

beneath making the renovation critical to undertake. During the May 21 regular council meeting the tender for the repair work was given to Roof and Building Service International at a cost of $186,290. No date for work to begin has been established as of deadline this week, but the committee is hoping that it will start as soon as possible. Roof and Building Service International was selected as the successful tender due to its experience in working on heritage properties such as the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carnegie library. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a designated heritage building and most of the reason we were is because of the features of the front façade,â&#x20AC;? Schecter said.

Hospital cut foes

R0012116600

EMC News - Premier Kathleen Wynne got some unexpected guests at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park on Tuesday, June 4, when members of the provincial umbrella group SOS (Save Our Services) descended on the provincial capital to speak out against cuts to the health care sector. Adding their voice of displeasure to the mixture was a contingent from Perth and Smiths Falls, who gave their placards a workout in the Smiths Falls Walmart parking lot early on Tuesday morning.

Led by hospital worker John Jackson, the protesters were decrying the closing of 12 hospital beds in both hospital locations.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It stands overlooking the town,â&#x20AC;?

Cummings added of the important place the library has in our community.

The Smiths Falls Public Library serves as an impressive gateway to the downtown core on top of the sloping Beckwith streetscape.

The site was chosen prior to construction in 1903. Between 1903 and 1922 American industrialist and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie

embarked on a quest to improve the literacy of communities around the world by building libraries upon request.

Smiths Falls was among the first to be approved having received word of its funding on Jan. 23, 1902 and finally opening the facility Feb. 25, 1904. The townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s library also has the distinction of being one of the first libraries Carnegie visited. Smiths Falls hosted Carnegie on April 28, 1906.

R0011956129.0307

EMC News - Plans to repair the front exterior of the Smiths Falls Public Library will include the restoration of a critical architectural element.

Karen Schecter, chief librarian, explained the triangular piece at the roof line of the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front façade is currently a painted piece of plywood, but when it was built in 1903 it was a much more decorative element. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to restore or replace the feature,â&#x20AC;? Schecter confirmed.

Other work includes repairing the original columns, the stairs and the foundation, which has been damaged due to the shifting of the columns above.

Access to the library will be maintained throughout the project. During the work on the stairs an alternate entrance at the side of the library will be used.

Chris Cummings, councillor and member of the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building committee, said the work was originally identified in 2002 when the facility underwent a major renovation, but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t undertaken at the time due to financial realities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were trying to keep the budget in line,â&#x20AC;? Cummings added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew at that time that the contractors told us the columns were good for 10 years.â&#x20AC;?

The large columns that give the library its grandeur have since shifted causing extra strain to the foundation

Second annual studio tour comes to town June 15-16

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC Events - For the second year in a row the home studios of Smiths Falls will let loose the colours within by inviting the public into their personal creative space during the second annual Art Journey Studio Tour June 15 and 16.

The two-day studio tour invites visitors to tour nine studios free of charge from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout town where 16 artists will have their work displayed and the artists will be available to answer questions.

Nicole Crowder, a watercolour and mixed media artist, is new to the show this year and says she is eager to share her father’s creative workplace at 13 Davis Drive.

“I really think Art Journey is really opening up doors for me as well,” she said. The Smiths Falls native has recently moved back home from Montreal to start her graphic design business and

launch herself as an independent artist.

Participating in events like the studio tour allows her to speak about the stories behind her work while being inspired by fellow artists who are also on the tour.

Crowder says the experience is unique for tour visitors as well.

“You can see where they work, too.

You can get to know the artist (in) their work space,” she said.

Nicole is a self-taught artist who has transition from large-scale abstract work to her current effort in recreating the streets of Montreal and Ottawa for her upcoming streetscapes exhibit.

Her father, Don has been turning wood for almost 10 years when he visited the Glebe Art show and witnessed the art form before him.

The local man uses his art form as a way to relax from a hectic full-time career as a correctional manager. Over the coming weekend visitors will have a chance to see how the artist has evolved

from his popular snowmen figures to functional kitchen bowls and the more ornate and decorative pieces using a method called segmentation. This is when countless pieces of wood are cut out and then painstakingly glued together to create different patterns of wood.

“It’s another avenue,” Crowder said.

This year’s show features a number of new and returning artists including carver, Randy Webster; painter, Tara Anderson and multi-media artist, Diane Provost. New this year is a number of local sponsors who have committed to providing 10 per cent discounts the weekend of the show for brochure holders. Brochures (designed by Nicole) are available at a variety of locations around town including each participating studio and the Record News office on Lorne Street. Those wishing to catch an early bird glimpse of some of the artists on the tour can catch them this Sunday, June 9 at 18 Russell St. The artists’ display is

We want to send a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to “pitch-in” this year to clean up the Township. Efforts grow in abundance each year, as taking care of our environment becomes more and more important. Volunteers picked more than 400 bags of litter and many large items from roadsides, parks, shorelines and trails.

A big thank you as well to our Adopt-ARoad volunteers who “pitch-in” all year long.

Hunters receive fines, bans for moose hunting licence violations EMC News - Three eastern Ontario residents have been fined for several offences under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, resulting in a total of $2,000 in fines as well as hunting licence suspensions.

Gordon K. Hyland of Jasper pleaded guilty to six counts of making a false statement in an application for a licence. He was fined $1,000 and is banned from

hunting in Ontario for ten years.

Matthew J. Baker of Merrickville pleaded guilty to unlawfully possessing a void licence and was banned from hunting in Ontario for five years.

Dale G. Cross Sr. of Jasper pleaded guilty to unlawfully possessing a void licence and was fined $1,000.

Court heard that between 1994 and 2012, Hyland had been

using an Outdoors Card issued to another person to acquire licences for his own use without the knowledge of that person.

In September 2011, Hyland obtained a bull moose tag through the use of false information. He subsequently transferred the tag to Baker, who then transferred it to Cross.

The investigation also involved the execution of a search

warrant to locate the void Outdoors Card and hunting licences.

Justice of the Peace Richard Sculthorpe heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Brockville, on May 22, 2013.

The Ministry of Natural Resources reminds the public that

it is illegal to falsify statements in documents; to use a licence, or any component of a licence, including an Outdoors Card, that was issued to someone else; to transfer a licence; or to possess a void licence.

Smiths Falls opens its doors to public for weekend event The Station Theatre The Station Theatre opened its doors April 2010 after 10 years of dedication from volunteers from the community who contributed countless hours of meetings, contracting and fundraising activities. Also, a good deal of the construction work was completed by these volunteers who used a wide variety of previous work and life experience to contribute to the theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development.

Housed in the former CPR station built in 1887, the location was already an important part of the history of the Town of Smiths Falls. At one time, Smiths Falls was a major railway hub between Montreal and Toronto. Many citizens of Smiths Falls can claim to have relatives who were employed by the CPR. The story of the amazing transformation of the railway station at 53 Victoria Ave. into the Station Theatre began in 1999 when the CPR indicated to the town that the deteriorating building would be demolished and replaced with a smaller structure for VIA passengers.

The local theatre group stepped forward with an inventive plan to renovate the building and create a 140-seat theatre.

Through the generous donations of local residents, as well as major financial contributions from the Town of Smiths Falls, the province of Ontario and corporate sponsors, the building was transformed into a beautiful performance space, which incorporates the history of the railway and the excitement of a theatrical venue.

As soon as you enter the lobby you will be awestruck not only by its transformation from a railway station, but the uniqueness of the architectural design, which itself is akin to a performance space that is the envy of small communities across the province. Many who visit comment saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you could put on a play right here in the lobbyâ&#x20AC;?. To truly appreciate what the Station Theatre has to offer, both architecturally and in terms of performance space, one must see it. Since opening, the theatre has housed a wide variety of performances, as well as non-theatre uses such as corporate events as it is now fully equipped with WIFI, a projector and large screen.

It has even hosted weddings.

Along with viewing the amazing structural changes that have taken place

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO - JUNE 10, 1913 Prince Albert Fredrick George, second eldest son of the king, passed through Smiths Falls Thursday night on his way from Montreal to Toronto. His car was in darkness when it was here and nobody saw him.

Cheese took a drop half a cent a pound last week. The week before, all rates on the Brockville board were made at 12 cents, but last Thursday 11-12 cents was the highest figure.

Dr. John J. Owner, a Smiths Falls boy, has been honored by McGill by the Faculty of Medicine for the A. A. Browne Memorial Fellowship in Pathology. He is at present admitting officer at the Montreal General Hospital and will not take up his new duties until September.

50 YEARS AGO - JUNE 13, 1963 Everything is in readiness for the big “Hershey Day” celebrations which will be held in town on Saturday. It is anticipated that from 10,000 to 15,000 persons will be here for the occasion.

During Monday’s meeting, Reeve Harold Jakes said he wished to make it clear that he and his Council were in no way opposed to the new school and will comply with the wish of the voters. He noted that only 248 persons cast their ballots.

Birthday greetings are being extended today to the person who is believed to be Smiths Falls oldest citizen. Mrs. Martha Walsh, 12 River street, is observing her 94th birthday.

Relay for Life hits a little too close to home EMC Lifestyle - This Friday, Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute will be the site of the annual Relay for Life. It’s the first time this event will be held at the high school. Formerly, it was held at the Lombardy fairgrounds.

The idea behind the move was to get more people involved – open it up to more people, raise more money. Maybe that’s why the theme this year is “Groovin’ for a Cure.” It will make for some interesting costumes.

When I was at St. John Catholic High School in Perth recently for their all-night event, it was the first time that I was that close to it. I wasn’t actually participating, I was there taking photos for the newspaper.

It was humbling watching the parade of survivors coming out of the school and walking through the throngs of participants who lined the pathway to the track where the walk took place.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the school yard.

It was even more moving when one student told her personal story about losing her father to cancer just a month before the event. This was a reason for her participating this year.

It seems that every time you turn around there is someone you know who is being diagnosed with cancer of some form or another.

My aunt, who lives in Newboro, has a gaggle of kids (five children, all married with at least two children of their own) and she called all the female cousins and sisters-in-law to her

25 YEARS AGO - JUNE 15, 1988 Due to declining numbers of school age clients, the school wing of Rideau Regional Centre will close at the end of the school year.

Jean Giff, school principal, said there are only six clients in the entire facility who are under 21 – the age at which they are still eligible for student status at RRC. As well, Mrs. Giff said the no admission policy coupled with an increased community living means no new students will be coming to RRC. Three of the remaining students will be attending Jean Vanier School in Smiths Falls in September while the other three will receive education at the facility.

home for a brunch on Sunday. It was a day just for gals... my dad’s sisters: three of them, and their daughters (three more of us), along with her four own girls and their three daughters, all descended on the porch for a great afternoon of laughs and memories - oh and great food.

We had one token male at the party - my aunt’s oldest son, who, along with his wife, were also present. He had no idea that the hen party was taking place, but was a welcomed addition, nonetheless. He was home for a visit.

It was our chance to see one of our cousins who was home from the west coast where she’s been undergoing breast cancer treatments.

She’s been through chemo and starts radiation this week. She’s lost all her hair, but not her spunk. Her personality shines through.

She wore a funky, orange-beaded shirt, and said she hoped that it would distract from the bald head.

“Bald is beautiful,” I told her. “That’s my favourite haircut for a dude.”

We laughed, just like old times. Her smile still radiates, and her positive attitude has no doubt, some bearing on her prognosis... which

is good, she assured us.

My other cousin, who lives about an hourand-a-half west of me, has successfully beaten colon cancer. She is returning to work this month.

“It’s been a really long year,” she said.

“It’s actually brought us (her immediate family) closer together. My husband has been my rock... so has Mom.” I learned at our girl-power brunch that our male cousin had also successfully beaten thyroid cancer a few years ago.

Two other women of our family have also survived cancer treatments.

Of the 16 of us around that dining room table, five - that I know about - have had their own personal battles with cancer.

What is even more remarkable, is that no one smokes, drinks excessively or is into drugs.

All of the mentioned people of my family who have had cancer or are currently fighting it, eat healthy diets and exercise regularly.

Cancer affects us all, regardless of race, age, sex, or lifestyle.

Friday night, when the track is alight with luminaries, and the survivors appear for their victory lap, I’ll say a silent prayer for all those who are fighting this godforsaken battle.

Thanks to those who take part in this event, and to those who sponsor, donate money, cut their hair, have extra fundraisers all in the name of life - Relay for Life. Godspeed.

Healthy Living Festival attracts fitness celebrities June 22 EMC News - The Healthy Living Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cardio Movea-Thon has attracted the interest of three fitness celebrities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; former CFL player and Professional Strength Coach with Elite Performance Academy, Pat Woodcock, IFBB Pro Athlete, Melanie Gardner, and Professional Trainer Angelina Armstrong-Mann (also known as the Iron Angel) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in addition to local and regional instructors.

The Move-a-Thon, a two hour Heart & Stroke fundraising event, will be held on the day of the Healthy Living Festival, Saturday, June 22 in downtown Smiths Falls, between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Eleven instructors from across the region and as far away as Ottawa will take to the stage during the festival to each provide a 10 minute cardio routine, for a workout total of 120 minutes.

Before founding Performance Elite Academy, Pat Woodcock had an eight-year football career with both the CFL and the NFL. Woodcock has since dedicated his time, his talent, and his wide range of coaching certifications to helping young athletes from Junior to University levels achieve greatness on and off the field.

During the Cardio Move-a-Thon he will be offering instruction in Athletic Performance.

Resident and business owner in Brockville, ON, IFBB Pro and Advanced Genetics sponsored athlete Melanie Gardner has won a variety of championships including most recently the 2013 Arnold Amateur in Masters Figure and Overall Masters Divisions and placed 2nd at the 2012 OPA Ontario Natural Championships. Gardner will be taking the first session at the Move-a-Thon and offering a 10

IFBB Pro Athlete, Melanie Gardner, will be one of the instructors for the Cardio Move-a-Thon during the Healthy Living Festival.

minute warm up routine.

Angelina Armstrong-Mann, is also known as the Iron Angel, and introduced kettlebell to Carleton Place. She is one of

the leading kettlebell trainers in Ontario and does dry land training with many hockey teams. Armstrong-Mann has a large array of achievements and certifications, from Yoga instruction to a Crossfit Olympic Lifting Coach. During the Movea-Thon she will be offering instruction in general Athletic Training.

Other local and regional instructors include Jamie Collins (Professional Athlete), Heritage Fitness, Cardio Fit 4 Life, Yoga & Wellness, Orange Tree Yoga, Restorative Health, Train Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Transform, among others.

The Cardio Move-a-thon is geared for participants young and old and of all levels of fitness.

Participants can take part for a portion of the event, or stick it out for the full two hours. Great prizes, provided by the Heart & Stroke Foundation are available,

depending on pledge levels raised by individuals. This can be a team event, or an individual event.

To register a team or an individual, please visit the online registration system at www.fitforheart.ca and click on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Register Onlineâ&#x20AC;? link. Teams or individuals can also register using the pledge envelopes that are available at the DBA office at Town Hall.

The Healthy Living Festival is a one day, outdoor, free event with a focus on everything to do with healthy living. A 24 foot rock climbing wall, Zendragon obstacle course, bouncy castle, bike rodeo will entertain visitors young and old during the event.

Visitors can also try the exercise routines theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been curious about during the workshops offered in the workshop tent, including zumba,

piloxing, yoga and more, or learn more about health related topics during one of the informational seminars. More than 50 vendors with products and services related to healthy living and eating will be on site.

Another great component to the festival that is still in the planning stages will be a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run that will take place prior to the festival start. The run, organized by the Spring Fling Running Thing, will be aptly named Little Thing Running Thing and will give children an opportunity to test themselves in a shorter distance run (.5 km and 1 km) better suited for little legs.

Residents bring home realities of bullying through stage show

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC Entertainment - This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special presentation of The Huntsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish at the Station Theatre features actors who bring their personal experience with bullying and rising above challenge to the forefront in this exciting community fundraiser.

On June 6 and 8 the curtain will rise at 7 p.m. and a special woman will get to live out her dream. Josie Ranger, a client of the Mills Community Support, told her worker that she dreamed to be a star and sing on stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to see people watch me perform,â&#x20AC;? Ranger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be a singer.â&#x20AC;?

Her passion for this project is evident

when you see her smile widely, pausing on stage to look out at the audience of chairs and take it all in. A handful of her friends and Mills clients joined Ranger in taking up this challenge and stepping on stage for the first time to make this womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream a reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about community theatre and they are members of our community,â&#x20AC;? said Lynda Daniluk who has worked with the cast to produce the show.

This is the first time that the seasoned producer has worked with a cast who have such varying talents and challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a real opportunity for me,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Since January the group has spent time at the theatre working on memorization

skills and staging in preparation for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance.

The Huntsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish is a short oneact fairy tale about a young man named Erlich (Robbie Hull) who believes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an orphan who was raised by a poor woman. When food and necessities become scarce the woman sends Erlich into the woods where he meets many interesting characters including sprites, a talking horse and a dove. The experience allows him to learn some important lessons, which is not unlike the local cast who bring these characters to life.

Ranger is bringing her personal experience with bullying to the stage in her portrayal of the queen. High school was a difficult time for the young

The Mills Community Support works with clients like Ranger to help them to live more independent lives and reach personal goals.

The actors of The Huntsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish have asked that this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance be admission by donation with all proceeds going to Special Olympics and The Hub. There is no reserved seating at the two performances. Individuals are welcome to come for either of the two 7 p.m. shows to show their support.

THE EMC - 23 - Thursday, June 6, 2013

Dr. Clark M. Kerr, 59, passed from this life on Sunday, May 19, 2013 in Lubbock, Texas. Born to Evelyn and Archibald Kerr in Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada in 1954, Dr. Kerr was the youngest of four children. A curious and intelligent child, Dr. Kerr graduated High School from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute in 1972 as an Ontario Scholar, before moving on to the University of Ottawa.

Earning his place at the University of Ottawa Medical School two years early, Dr. Kerr received his Doctorate of Medicine in 1978. After completing his Internship and Residency in Internal Medicine in Ottawa, Dr. Kerr was awarded a fellowship at Duke University to specialize in Infectious Disease in 1981. This unique specialty brought him to Lubbock in 1989 to head up the new Infection Control program for what is now the Covenant Health System.

Practicing here in Lubbock in various roles, Dr. Kerr maintained his status as a premier expert in infectious and tropical disease and infection control, eventually growing a successful private practice with others in the field. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at the young age of 38, Dr. Kerr eventually retired from medical practice in 2001. Following this retirement, Dr. Kerr put his medical expertise to use by serving as a medical legal consultant and expert witness. As a young man in Canada, Dr. Kerr was saved by Grace. Throughout his life, he took every opportunity to share the Gospel with those he came in contact with. Although regarding Texas as “God’s country”, Dr. Kerr also enjoyed many happy summers at his cottage on the Rideau Lake near his childhood home. Dr. Kerr was an avid reader, dog lover and extensive traveler. He will be remembered by all who knew him for his commitment to his patients and his profession, his unique sense of humor, and his generous spirit.

Survivors include his son, Andrew Kerr and his wife, Courtney; mother, Evelyn Kerr; brothers, Bill Kerr and wife, Carol, and Tom Kerr and his wife, Carol; and sister, Patsy Harlow and her husband, Phil; along with many other dear friends and loved ones. Dr. Kerr is preceded in death by his father. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a contribution in his memory be sent to the Lubbock chapter of the American Parkinson’s Disease Association. www.apdaparkinsons.org 3610 22nd Street, Suite 300, Lubbock, TX 79410, 806-725-0941.

WEIR, Dianne November 12, 1944 - June 7, 2010 It has now been 3 years since you left to join our moms and dads in heaven.

It is still hard for me to believe that you are gone. What keeps me going is that I know I will see you again, God willing. Jeff and Donna have been very supportive over the past 3 years and they miss and love you very much. You would be very proud of Jeff. He is the man he is today because of you. I want to walk down the beach again with you hand in hand looking at the ocean and that is not going to happen, very sad. I only have memories and it is not enough. I miss you every day Dianne. You are and always will be “The girl of my dreams, my princess”.

Sadly missed but never forgotten.

Duncan, Jeff, Donna, Joanne, Carole, Patti, Laird, Bob, Karen, and so many of your long time friends.

We miss you, Dad!!

Your loving family

CORDICK, James H. – In loving memory of my husband, my friend, who passed away June 9, 2003.

We made our vows together and said Till death do we part.

When God came and took your hand, My whole world fell apart.

No one knows the heartache I try so hard to hide, No one knows how many times I’ve broken down and cried.

When I look back upon our life Just one thing makes me glad, That you chose to share your life with me.

Always loved, always remembered Wife Doris

IN MEMORIAM

JUNE

“WE REMEMBER” Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is

also our way of saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown confidence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973.

Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying…“We Remember”.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

WYNN, Gloria In loving memory of a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend who passed away June 11, 2012.

A year ago the Angels gathered near your bed so very close to you.

They knew the pain and suffering that you were going through.

We thought about so many things, as we held tightly to your hand.

Oh, how we wished that you were strong and happy once again.

But your eyes were looking homeward to that place beyond the sky.

Where Jesus held his outstretched arms, it was time to say goodbye.

We struggled with our selfish thoughts, for we wanted you to stay.

So we could walk and talk again, like we did just yesterday.

But Jesus knew the answer, and we knew He loved you so.

So we gave to you life’s greatest gift, the gift of letting go.

Always in our thoughts and to never leave our hearts, Penny, Art, Matt, Jenn, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

RITCHIE-HILL, Cheryl – In loving memory of a dear daughter, mother, wife, sister and aunt who passed away June 8, 2012.

God looked around His garden and found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest, God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace be thine.”

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Forever in our hearts Love Mom and family

Lovingly remembered by your wife Alma and family

RONAN, Kevin – In loving memory of a dear son who passed away June 5, 2009.

And the memories that you shared with us will never fade away.

Forever loved and missed Mom, Dad and Steven

IN MEMORIAM

KNIGHT - In loving memory of my parents Gordon, who passed away June 29, 1996 and Lyllis, June 12, 2007 The moment that you died, My heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you.

I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same.

For those who still have their Mom/Dad Treat them with tender care.

You will never know the emptiness As when you turn and they’re not there.

Loved and missed everyday, daughter Heather

Melany Blake Healing Is Possible - Moving Out of the Darkness of Childhood Sexual Abuse Into the Light Meeting: 8:00 p.m.

TriCounty Addiction Services Needs Volunteer Board Members TriCAS provides health promotion and addictions counselling to families and individuals in Lanark, Leeds-Grenville who are challenged by alcohol or other drug misuse, problem gambling, or concurrent mental health and addiction issues.

We would be especially pleased to invite you to our Annual General Meeting if you share an interest in our work and would like to volunteer to become a Member of our Board of Directors.

We are a non-profit corporation which is funded by the South East Local Health Integration Network, and we also report to the Champlain LHIN. Our Directors are responsible for setting policies that guide our services and for ensuring our accountability in our funding agreements with the SE LHIN. Directors meet monthly throughout the year and may also participate on committees which report to the Board. Making addiction services available to our communities is as important as providing mental health and medical care. The work of the Board and its committees addresses the best ways to do that, how to ensure the quality and effectiveness of our services, options to integrate services with other agencies, and the most advantageous deployment of our resources in a time of provincial fiscal restraint.

If you live or work in Lanark, Leeds-Grenville and would like to contribute your time, expertise, or life experience to our work, please contact Helen Latimer-Hanah, Administrative Secretary, by e-mail at helen@tricas.on.ca or by phone at 613-283-7723 Ext 311. For more information about our agency, please visit our website: www.tricas.on.ca, or drop into our offices and pick up a service pamphlet (Smiths Falls– 88 Cornelia Street West; Brockville – 1805 Oxford Avenue). If you are unable to attend our AGM but would like to meet at another time, we can then discuss with you the next steps to take in order to complete an application to become a Member of our Board.

Help give your baby a healthy start: Have alcohol-free pregnancy EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For the first time ever, Canada has one national set of low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines.

These guidelines, intended for Canadians of legal drinking age who choose to drink alcohol, aim to provide consistent information across

the country to help Canadians moderate their alcohol consumption.

The new guidelines outline standard drinks sizes, limits for men and women, recommendations for youth and when zero is the limit.

Specifically, guideline four recommends that the safest choice for

those who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding is no alcohol at all. Alcohol exposure in pregnancy can cause birth defects and brain damage to your baby.

This lifelong disability is called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and it does not go away as the child

ages. For more information and resources, call the health unit or visit our website.

Over the next few months, the health unit, along with local partners, is promoting the message â&#x20AC;&#x153;No safe time, no safe type, no safe amount.â&#x20AC;?

your health throughout your reproductive years, even if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planning to have a baby any time soon. This includes monitoring your drinking and living a healthy lifestyle. Remember, if you are not actively preventing pregnancy with a reliable method of birth control, you are planning a pregnancy.

A great alternative to drinking alcohol at any time is to substitute alcohol-

From page 34

and no safe amount of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Fifty per cent of pregnancies are unplanned, so it is possible you drank alcohol before you realized you were pregnant. If this is the case, stop drinking immediately and contact your health care provider. It is important to maintain

ic drinks for non-alcoholic cocktails, also known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;mocktails.â&#x20AC;? Mocktails are a delicious and fun way to have a drink without the effects of alcohol.

For mocktail recipes, visit the health unit website http://www.healthunit. org/alcoholdrug/alcohol/mocktails. htm.

OPP makes progress on supporting healthy workforce, workplaces EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has sent its second quarterly update to the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman, with details on its progress in further addressing the issue of operational stress injuries (OSI) affecting OPP members.

The OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OSI Working Group is

undertaking an in-depth review of the Ombudsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations and the OPP is reporting quarterly on various activities including educational and awareness-raising initiatives.

In partnership with the OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human resource services, the OSI Working Group is piloting a workshop which is

being held in various locations across the province for managers at the rank of staff sergeant, and above. The Managing for a Healthy Workplace workshop focuses on injury, illness and employment accommodation; return to work; Workplace Safety Insurance; employee assistance programs; and workplace dis-

crimination and harassment prevention including respect in the workplace and conflict management. This training encourages managers to explore practical strategies for overseeing a healthy workplace while reducing stigma associated with employment accommodation.

The OPP is also continuing to build

Zendragon Family Gym in town raised money for the Relay for Life recently with a variety of events, including a car wash. To the left, Zoe Elizabeth is a nine-year friend of the group, who is battling her third round of lymphoma with a DEAR EDITOR: excellent coverage over the past 20 years has positive attitude.

On behalf of the Cancer Classic Golf Tournament greatly contributed to our fundraising for cancer

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

20 successful years for Cancer Classic

Committee, I wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to our corporate sponsors, hole sponsors, donors and auction gifts, tournament participants and loyal volunteers.

Thanks also to the Kinsmen Club for its donation, to mayor Dennis Staples and councillors Ken Graham and Jay Brennan for presenting to our committee certificates of appreciation from the town, Scott Reid MP and Randy Hillier MPP. We appreciate and thank the Record News for their excellent coverage of this tournament prior to, during and after the events of the day. This

research.

The amount raised this May totals $23,000 and over the last 20 years $368,000 has been raised for cancer research.

Smiths Falls is fortunate to have so many community-minded citizens and news outlets for worthy causes. Smiths Falls is truly a sensational town.

Sincerely, Glen (Red) Blair for the Cancer Classic Golf Tournament Committee.

Residents thanked for helping visitors DEAR EDITOR: On Mother’s Days Sunday (May 12, 2013) while driving through Smiths Falls on the way to Perth I ran out of gas.

I could not move the car out of the intersection.

The usual warning signal wasn’t working and there we were two 85-year-old seniors in a strange town and in a fix.

We were pleasantly amazed by the concern of several citizens who came to our aid as we waited for CAA to respond to our cries for help. After

Coach Brian Paquette (right) participates in a pole dance dressed in drag due to a challenge he issued to his class. If more than $500 was raised for Relay for Life, he’d have his photo taken for the newspaper. The group raised almost $700 for the cause.

Town is becoming a ‘Fitter Falls’ EMC News - A wise man once said: “Invest in health now… or (suffer) in sickness later.”

The basis is true. It costs far more money to combat illness and disease than it does to promote health.

Smiths Falls deserves a huge pat on the back for a job well done… or at least, well started.

There is an ever-increasing demand in fitness, well-being, organized sports and leisure activity.

Whether you get involved in a running group, seasonal activity, team sports, cycle or walk instead of drive, practice yoga, zumba, kickboxing, go to the gym, take ballroom dancing or attend Bootcamp or group fitness lessons, you are investing now and in the future.

Increased health equals increased quality of life.

The opening and sustaining of new fitness ventures in Smiths Falls is proof to the increasing demand and need.

You have 23 hours in a day to work, cook, clean,

study, lounge and sleep.

Set aside just one hour for your health each day.

There is also an incredible rise in healthy choices for food, nutritional awareness, interest in vitamins and supplements occurring in the community as well.

For a small town, Smiths Falls is definitely becoming a fitter ’Falls all the time.

With even more on the way! The HUB and pool are opening shortly, more businesses expanding their offerings, new businesses inbound, and the Healthy Living Festival coming in June.

Let’s not forget the local runs and races organized by Smiths Falls resident athletes.

There is growth, effort, camaraderie, common goals, strength, dreams and hope all around us.

FUTURE SHOP CORRECTION NOTICE

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

Giant book sale and Lego party at library EMC News - A regular feature of the Smiths Falls Doors Open celebration, the Street Book Sale sponsored by the Friends of the Library is to be held again this year on Sunday, June 9.

Daniel Street, beside the Library, will be closed from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. to accommodate the giant sell-off of books, in hardcover and paperback, drawn from the Library itself or contributed by

supporters.

If it rains, two large tents will cover the books this year, so the sale will go on rain or shine.

“As always, we have an exceptional collection of new hard-covers in the book sale,” librarian Karen Schecter reports.

“And, of course, we have hundreds of children’s books for all ages that

typically go for a song.”

Proceeds from the sale of the books go to support library programs, particularly literacy programs for young people.

From 10 a.m. to noon, the Library will be having a Lego party to celebrate the conclusion of its Lego Tower Fundraiser. Children of all ages are invited to play with Lego.

Art returns to the barn mid-August EMC Events - Art in the Barn returns for its third year to Lombardy Agricultural Society Fairgrounds on Saturday and Sunday, July 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. More than 40 artists from the Rideau Lakes Artists Association welcome you to its annual art show and sale. This event is held at the spacious and easily accessible Lombardy Fairgrounds Barn, located six kilometres south of Smiths Falls on Hwy. 15 at Kelly’s Road.

After last year’s smashing success,

the artists are excited about the upcoming year. The Barn provides a fun and relaxed atmosphere to meet with the artists and talk to them about their wide diversity of original art- watercolour, acrylic, oil, and batik paintings. Also featured are pottery, whimsical garden critters made from recycled farm implements, quilting, shorebird carvings and bird carvings. This venue has ample parking and shelter from any weather.

Payment by Visa and MasterCard will be accepted as well as by cash or by

cheque.

Admission is free, and ten percent of all sales, together with any contributions to our Donation Jar, will be donated to the ‘Do it for Daron’ fund in support of youth mental health through the Royal Ottawa Hospital.

New principal wall unveiled at Rideau DHS EMC News - Hardly a week goes by when somebody isn’t asking Sharon Halladay about a former principal at Rideau District High School (RDHS).

People have fond memories of past leaders such as Fred Fleming from the late 1960s or George Gratton, the longest-serving principal at RDHS known in the community as the “tough but fair one.”

The questions got the current principal of RDHS reflecting on the fact there was no permanent memorial at the school for its leaders, even though pictures of star alumni and past student council presidents adorn the main hallway. On Thursday night, Halladay rectified that situation with the unveiling of “The Principals of Rideau” recognition wall, appropriately located in the main

hallway beside the school office.

McLeod’s widow Isobel cut the “This school is all about community ceremonial cake during a small reception pride and it has a history of achievement,” following the unveiling. said Halladay. “After tonight, the Submitted by the UCDSB. principals of Rideau will be celebrated as part of that history.”

The new “principal wall” honours the careers of all the leaders at Rideau from Colin McLeod, who served as the first school principal from 1960 – 1964, to Gratton who led RDHS from 1976 to 1985 and Halladay herself, who took over in 2010.

Principals who showed up for the Read Regional Round-up ceremony to pose by the wall were Gratton, Ross Henniger, Mary Begg, and Ian Carswell, current associate and EMC ads every week director of the Upper Canada District for entertainment ideas.

EMC News - The late Pat Foulkes was dedicated to ensuring every Smiths Falls child had access to literacy support.

In honour of that effort, the local public library has renamed a special program dedicated to young people the ‘Patricia Foulkes Summer Reading Program’.

“I told Tom (Foulkes) she’s right beside the Queen,” said Karen Schecter, chief librarian.

Foulkes’ dedication plaque (purchased by the Friends of the Library), including her picture, hangs next to Queen Elizabeth II on the main floor of the library. But her passion was on the top floor where the children’s library resides.

In her role as a library board member and member of the Friends of the Library committee, Foulkes read to children at local schools, worked on fundraising projects, and was active on the board and its sub-committees. For this and many other reasons the library board voted in April to rename the program.

The renaming will apply to programs such as Fun with ABCs, Reading Rocks tutoring programs, the Summer Reading Club and daily afternoon programs.

“She would be well pleased and very proud,” said her husband, Tom. His wife was an avid reader and Tom and Pat Foulkes are pictured here in a file photo.

worked hard to establish two local book reading clubs and one in Nepean before passing away from cancer last winter.

Foulkes thanked the library for honouring his wife, saying the renaming will be a reminder to Pat’s children and grandchildren about the kind of woman she was.

In a press release, the library board noted they are extremely grateful for the donations, in memory of Patricia, that have been made to this program.

“Patricia would be proud that her work at the library will continue for generations to come. A most sincere thank-you to her husband Tom Foulkes for embracing this program for our local children,” the release states.

The renaming announcement took place the week library staff traditionally go out to area schools to introduce this summer’s literacy programs. The programming schedule kicks off July 8.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

Ready to run Some of the participating students from SFDCI pose for a picture at the local track following their successful completion of the half marathon in Ottawa May 26. Second from the right is Turner Onion who beat the 2007 class record this year.

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC Sports - Turner Onion knows the pleasure of reaching your goals having recently smashed the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute Marathon Course record. He is now striving towards future ambitions while helping his peers reach the finish line in the future.

Ottawa Race Weekend is the final exam for the students of this grueling, fitness and nutrition class that runs every other year at SFDCI. The credit course is relatively new in this region, as only a few other schools in the province offer it, said Dan Dufort, the teacher at SFDCI who implemented it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew Turner would do well as he is a very good athlete,â&#x20AC;? said Dufort.

The Grade 12 student was one of about 20 young people from the local high school course who took part in the May 26, 2013 half marathon run in Ottawa alongside more than 11,000 weekend race participants.

Onion said racing in such a supportive environment really kept his energy up when he got tired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was actually really, really hyper. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like running with all of Smiths Falls,â&#x20AC;? Onion said.

He placed 271st among the 11,692 participants with an impressive time of 1:29:40. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic,â&#x20AC;? remarked Dufort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did really, really well.â&#x20AC;?

Onion thanks his fellow course mates, Dillon Drover (1:31:10) and Garrett Closs (1:33:23) for keeping him on his toes and challenging him throughout the course and on race day to obtain his objective. Onionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishment has drawn the attention of other future course participants who have approached Onion for his training secrets. Onion was pleased to give them a copy of his training program and encourages anyone interested in taking on a half marathon to train really hard and not to miss a day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they beat me thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be great,â&#x20AC;? Onion said.

The senior student entered the four-month program for the first time this past February

with one goal in mind: to beat Joe Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2007 class record of 1:30:25. In the end, Onion was able to achieve this goal.

Onion credits his determination to train every day for the half marathon as well as his existing exercise program as part of a competitive basketball team in Kingston as part of his winning formula. Often, the young man would complete his training in the marathon course only to play basketball that night for another two hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like I had an extra step,â&#x20AC;? Onion said.

He like many of the participating students, really enjoyed the training opportunities the course provided.

Dufort said he envisioned the course in 2005 after training and competing in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s half marathon himself. Working with the school board he was able to develop the course with the objective of encouraging physical fitness in teenaged students. The four-month program offers a variety of learning opportunities from nutritional information to yoga classes, endurance training and, new this year, cross fit training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different way of training and they loved it,â&#x20AC;? Dufort said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone passedâ&#x20AC;Ś we even had two girls take the course this year.â&#x20AC;?

This new addition to the training program came about in much the same way as the creation of the course itself - Dufortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal experience. Last year Dufort was introduced to cross fit training and thought the ability to use your own body weight to train would add some benefits for his students.

Onion thanked Dufort for his continued support in helping him succeed so well in the marathon course, including allowing him to reschedule necessary training runs and volunteering his personal time to make that happen. A basketball tournament kept Onion away from his 18.5 km training run, but Mr. Dufort was able to reschedule it for him and actively participated in supporting Onion to the end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Dufort biked beside me and gave me water when I needed it,â&#x20AC;? Onion said.

The local teacher was pleased to report he had 100 per cent completion rate in the half

marathon again this term. The studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; marks have nothing to do with their marathon times, but are based on their commitment to attending class and their training schedule.

This year Dufort trained with his students but sat out in the race so he could be there to cheer them on as each one crossed the finish line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, the smile on their face . . . is worth 100 bucks,â&#x20AC;? Dufort said.

Race day The day of the race came quickly for participants. As a first-time participant, Onion was pleased to see the level of support all bystanders showed for every race participant. When the course got tough and he wanted to sit down and rest, it was the cheers and banners of supporters that kept him going.

In the final leg of the race Onion was approached by the 1:30 bunny: a runner who is guaranteed to complete the course in 1 hour 30 minutes. The bunny-eared racer kept close behind Onionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulder for quite some time before one-to-two kms before the finish line Onion dug deep and attempted to sprint to the finish line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just took off,â&#x20AC;? he recalls.

The race clock high above the finish line told Onion the moment he crossed that he had reached his four-month target and smashed Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2007 record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just had the biggest smile on my face,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The senior student is one of six students Mr. Dufort has spoken with from the course who plan to use what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned in his course to compete in the 2014 Ottawa race May 2425. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My ultimate goal will be to do Boston,â&#x20AC;?

Onion said.

First he will take part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Smiths Falls triathlon, taking place at the far end of Lower Reach Park June 22. His next step will be to participate in a couple more half marathons in the lead up to next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa race weekend where he will challenge the full marathon in hopes of qualifying for Boston.

Perth mayor vows to keep Beveridges Locks open

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Perth mayor John Fenik is vowing to keep the Beveridges’ locks open for future summers, even if he has to operate the locks himself.

With the upper and lower Beveridges Locks not due to be staffed until June 20, boaters wanting to take a detour off of the Rideau Canal on their way to Ottawa or Kingston to visit Perth and area by boat, must now give 48 hours notice.

Fenik informed town council on Tuesday, May 28 that, as of that evening, only one boat had put in notice that it wanted to travel to the Tay on June 16.

“The next thing that they are going to do is close Beveridge Lock,” charged Fenik, who pointed out that about 700 boats plied the waters of the Tay last summer. “I will go down and run them myself if I have to.”

He even suggested that if Parks Canada no longer wants to run the locks, the town, and surrounding municipalities, could shoulder the burden, and hire summer students to keep the boats and water flowing.

“We are being treated much differently than other parts of the canal system,” said Fenik.

“It’s like we’ve been forgotten…It seems like it (the Tay) is the poor cousin, and lack of attention is not acceptable.”

Fenik promised that he would take his concerns to the federal minister responsible for the canal, Peter Kent, as well as Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MP Scott Reid, and that he would

“You’d better get a big truck,” said Coun. Jim Graff, in supporting the mayor’s drive to keep the locks operational.

“If I have to speak with the prime minister, I will,” said Fenik. Fenik had

visited the lock stations during the Victoria Day long weekend and had noticed during that trip to Drummond/North Elmsley, south of Port Elmsley, that even the picnic tables were not out yet.

“I think that the shoulder season is a

threat to the local economy,” said Fenik after the council session during a meeting with local media in his office. “I feel it is the thin edge of the wedge.”

Fenik hoped that it would not come to the affected municipalities to oper-

ate the locks, but he added that “this is not a good option,” currently being employed.

He was also not clear if a similar 48-hour notice period would be in place for the end of the season.

Legion Ladies Auxiliary prepares for coming year EMC News - The Legion Ladies Auxiliary held its elections May 8 for the 2013-2014 year.

The Ladies Auxiliary is a very active group within the Legion. Their catering for weddings, funerals, anniversaries, stag and doe’s, birthdays, special events

and of course Christmas parties is their expertise and the funds raised at these events provides them with the opportunity to be a very big supporter of the legion and veterans. They also provide assistance to many local charities and a bursary is available to members children or grandchildren that are graduating from high school that are continuing on with their education at college or university.

During the past year the Ladies Auxiliary provided assistance on a monthly basis to two well deserving veterans, as well as making donations to their Command Office to aid other veterans including those that are homeless. Some of the other charities supported by them within the last year are the Children’s Hospital in Ottawa, the Ottawa Heart Institute, Re-

lay for Life Cancer walk, ALS, and 585 Air Cadets to name a few.

The ladies are not all work and no play; they participate in sporting events at other Legions within our area such as cards and darts. They run a fun bowling league on Monday evenings and ladies dart league on Sunday evenings. They join the Legion on Casino bus trips. They have pot luck meeting nights during the year and a Christmas get together once all the banquets are finished.

They are always looking for new members and if you are interested in joining them or would like more information on what they do, you can contact Josephine Campbell at 613-283-3695 or the Legion at 613-283-2690 and they will pass the message on.

EMC Sports – Call it a retooling, maybe even a reloading. Just don’t call the upcoming season a rebuilding year for the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears.

Despite graduating seven players to NCAA Division I schools, another to the USHL and two more to Canadian universities, the Bears have a strong nucleus returning in the fall and will expect to compete for the Central Canada Hockey League title in 2013-14.

That was the message delivered by head coach Mark Grady to 11 of the 12 young men selected or protected by the club at last Thursday’s CCHL entry draft in Ottawa. He and the Bears staff welcomed the players and their parents at the club’s impressive training facility at the Memorial Community Centre Monday afternoon.

It was an opportunity to address everyone in one venue and answer any questions they might have leading up to their first Jr. A training camp in August. Everything was covered from academics to equipment, practice schedules to billeting.

In all the Bears protected two bantam-aged players – Sam Meisenheimer and Matthew Dods – and made 10 picks in the 10-round draft, held at the Earl Armstrong Arena in Gloucester.

Bears general manager Hugh Craig says the club didn’t have a first round pick, having traded it away in an earlier transaction. But with the top player on their list still available late in the round, they made a trade with Gloucester to move up.

“We were very excited to get him,” Craig said of Jackson Goudie, a 15 year-old Stittsville resident who played this past season with the major bantam Ottawa Valley Titans.

For his part, the 5-9, 147-lb. forward says he is pleased to come to a quality organization that’s not too far from home.

The left winger says he plays a tough brand of hockey. “I like to get people off their game,” he said.

After a strong first half to his season, he admits the second half was not quite as successful, and he’s looking to build off the year that saw him collect 13 goals, 25 assists and 54 penalty minutes in just 25 regular season games.

Joining him on a future Bears’ roster will be Titans teammate Sam Meisenheimer. His numbers are no less impressive with 14 goals and 15 assists last season. He then added another four goals and eights assists in 11 playoff games.

The young centreman sees himself as “a two-way forward.” Also from Stittsville, he says he’s also happy to be with the Bears and aims to improve as a player and student in the coming year.

Rebels shock AAU hoops competition

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC Sports - The newlyformed competitive American Athletic Union basketball team out of Elgin/Kingston area, has come home from a successful road trip last weekend.

According to team manager, Wendy Talbot, they shocked the competition, other coaches and referees included.

“We played awesome,” Talbot said. “Parents, coaches (and) refs were shocked that this was our first weekend playing as a team with only five practices behind us. We upset two of the top Central New York teams.”

The Rideau Rebels took part in the tournament at

Jefferson Community College in Watertown, NY. “It was very exciting, us being the new team… literally!” Talbot said.

On Saturday the Rebels played the top-seeded Syracuse Nets where they led through the entire game… until the last 60 seconds, when Syracuse scored a field goal and followed that with an insurance basket.

“We lost to them 46-42. What a great game it was; they have been playing all year, this was our first game.”

In the team’s second game, they lost to South Jefferson by five.

Sunday, the Rebels found their legs and their game winning

against the Canton Hoopsters and then Central Square of Syracuse.

“By (Sunday) we got our groove and game. We won against the Canton Hoopsters 4732 and Central Square (Syracuse area) 48-28. Now the preparation starts for the Pre-Nationals in Syracuse,” Talbot said. “Which is operated by the U.S. Jr. Nationals. If we do well there we will then be invited to play in the U.S. Nationals.”

Talbot added that now word is out about the new AAU team, they have a waiting list of top talent from the are who want to join the ranks.

“How exciting for girls ball and for the Rideau name!”

RED & WHITE Final stretch for SFDCI drama students

By EMILIE MUST

R0012145133/0606

EMC News - WOW Productions was back with their last coffee house of the year. The Grade 12 musical theatre class performed their final three shows last Friday, May 24 at noon, 5:30 p.m., and 8 p.m. in the drama room.

The coffee house was a great success, even though the class doubted themselves at times. In the end it was a hilarious show filled with comedy sketches from Saturday Night Live, Mad TV, and original skits. A favourite of the night was their rendition of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” and the group performance of the Friends theme song.

The drama class is also helping out with SFDCI’s musical, “Rock Around”.

Various members of the class are doing hair and makeup for the show, working at the front of house, being grips, and with set design. The musical performances were May 29June 1. It was a sold-out show for the Friday and Saturday night performances.

The audience enjoyed classic fan favourites, “Johnny Be Goode”, “Rock Around The Clock”, “At The Hop” along with many others.

The musical was written by SFDCI Vice Principal, Nancy Keech, choreographed by Anita Mitra, and musically directed

by Kristine MacLaren.

Studio Theatre’s ‘Proof’ full of surprising twists and revelations

By JOAN SONNENBURG

EMC Entertainment – Family. One way or another, we have one. It may be next room, next door, or next province.

We may get along, we may bicker, we may be estranged from them. Or they may have passed on. But we all have, or have had, family at one point in our lives.

Studio Theatre’s final production of the season, ‘Proof’ by David Auburn is a story about a family in a situation that is becoming increasingly common: a child becoming the caregiver of an aging parent. Says director Jeremy Dutton, “More and more there are families who are going through this. Especially as money goes down for those in charge of ill people. As the population ages, well sorry folks we need more care especially if we’re sick.”

Catherine is the daughter of a brilliant mathematician who has lapsed into insanity. She has given up a promising career to care for her ailing father, and now she fears that she may be developing the same affliction. Claire, her sister, who arrives to help out, only makes the situation worse by taking over and making Catherine feel even more inadequate. To further add to the problem, she suspects Hal, a young student who was working with her father, of stealing a long-sought after mathematical formula from her father’s papers. The story is filled with surprising twists and revelations as we learn more about Catherine and her family.

‘Proof’ features four of the areas most accomplished actors. The role of Catherine is played by Mary Ann Majoury who appeared as the young impressionable nun in ‘Doubt: A Parable’. Catharine Coleman of Station Theatre in Smiths Falls is her sister Claire.

Hal, the young math student is played by Lucas Tennant, a young man who is well-known to Studio Theatre regulars. Talented and versatile, Tennant has appeared in a multitude of differing roles from a 17-year-old to a

Perth’s Studio Theatre is preparing for their final production of the rehearse a confrontation scene. ‘Proof’ opens June 6 and continues season, an adaptation of David Auburn’s ‘Proof.’ Above, from left: cast June 7, 8, 14, 15, at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. June 9 and members Lucas Tennant, Mary Ann Majoury and Catherine Coleman 16 at the theatre. husband and father from the Saskatchewan prairie. The challenging role of the father, Robert, is played by another Studio Theatre regular, Alfred Von Mirbach.

The plot is complex and intriguing, but above all, it speaks to all of us who deal with family issues. As Tennant so succinctly puts it “It is a brilliant story about families and relationships, about trying to care for people who

have been taking care of you. It’s role reversal. You get trapped, you get lost in taking care of someone and you lose sight of yourself.”

While ‘Proof’ is a story about families and relationships, it does contain mature subject matter and some coarse language. Audience discretion is advised.

‘Proof’ opens June 6 and continues June 7, 8, 14, 15, at 8 p.m. with Sunday

matinees at 2 p.m. June 9 and 16. Tickets are $20 in advance or $22 at the door. Advance tickets (cash only) are available at the Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E. in Perth.. Credit card purchases can be made at Tickets Please 39 Foster St. in Perth (613-485-6434). There are also $10 student tickets available at the door on presentation of I.D. If you’re considering an anniversary or birthday gift, why not give the

gift of entertainment. Gift certificates are available for all performances, so watch for our exciting, upcoming season soon to be announced.

Studio Theatre is located at 63 Gore St. E in Perth, overlooking the Tay Basin. For further information, visit www.studiotheatre.com or call 613267-7469.

This week is Canadian Environment Week

The minister also stated that 2013 was designated the International Year of Water Cooperation, and cited some of the work the government has undertaken in this regard.

“We are working with our international partners, such as the United States in the Great Lakes, and with our provincial and territorial counterparts, to improve and protect our important water resources,” Kent said. “Our government has worked with the provinces and territories to bring about Canada’s first national standards for wastewater treatment.”

Kent stated that such focus and cooperation was also key to addressing other environmental issues and challenges.

“Canadians should take this opportunity to celebrate our rich and diversified environment, to reflect on our numerous achievements and to think and prepare for future challenges,” he said.

“Collectively, we must never lose sight of the importance of a healthy environment in which to live, grow and raise our families.”

EMC News – The federal government is inviting all Canadians to reflect on their environment during Canadian Environment Week, observed annually during the first full week of June.

Canada’s Minister of the Environment, the Honourable Peter Kent, noted that the week was a time to reflect on our collective environmental achievements and stewardship, for all Canadians today and tomorrow to enjoy.

“Canadian Environment Week is not only a great opportunity to celebrate our achievements in protecting our natural environment, but it is also an excellent opportunity to further inspire all Canadians to work together to do even more to preserve, protect and restore our land, our air, and our water,” he said.

Kent pointed to some of the government’s important environmental achievements: • The launching of the joint-monitoring plan on the oil sands; • More stringent regulations in a variety of areas, to combat climate change through a sector by sector approach and fulfill our commitment of reducing Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent below 2005 levels by 2020; • The cooperation with provincial and territorial counterparts, to improve air quality for all Canadians; • On the international stage, the government’s investment of $1.2 billion towards climate change fast-start financing to further help developing economies reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, which is a global challenge; • Canada’s collaboration with a variety of business and international partners to encourage innovative environmental technologies and clean energy; • The advancements made for the protection of wildlife, water and land in Canada—protected areas in Canada now account for an area that is nearly the size of Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland combined.

Stellar Canadian casts at upcoming Classic Theatre Festival season following her memorable turn as Gittel Mosca in last season’s ‘Two for the Seesaw’. Gordon’s comic chops will be on full display as she fends off the attentions of Ottawa’s Richard Gélinas, a celebrated veteran of the National Capital theatre scene (‘The 39 Steps’, ‘Stones in His Pockets’, ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’, ‘Eddie May Mysteries’), and Trevor Pease, who divides his time between TV and film (‘Nikita’, ‘Cybergeddon’) and stage (Upper Canada Repertory Company, Theatre New Brunswick, among others).

“Simon is known for his sparkling dialogue, hilarious plots and lovable characters. ‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ reflects the theme you see in a lot of his plays of opposites who attract but who also have to work through their differences to get along, just like the sloppy/neat freak roles in ‘The Odd Couple’ and the snarky vaudeville veterans in ‘The Sunshine Boys’,” says Smith.

‘The Marriage-Go-Round’ (Aug. 9 to Sept. 1) caused some stir on Broadway as it featured a happily married, brilliant academic couple (one of whom is the Dean of Women) whose lives are turned upside down by a Swedish blonde bombshell who wants the husband to father her baby so that the child inherits both beauty and brains. The couple is played by Scott Clarkson (who has previously performed critically acclaimed star turns in the festival’s productions of ‘The Fourposter’ and ‘Two for the Seesaw’)

EMC Entertainment – From July 12 to Sept. 1, the fourth season of professional summer theatre in Perth, courtesy of the Classic Theatre Festival, features a variety of returning talent along with new faces who have graced stages across the country, in addition to considerable film, television and radio work.

Early bird tickets are on sale until June 8, guaranteeing discounted tickets with the option of choosing dates later.

Director Laurel Smith, who will helm the comedic productions of Neil Simon’s ‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ and Leslie Stevens’ ‘The Marriage-Go-Round’, is pleased with the star power she has assembled this summer to work alongside Ottawa set and lighting designer David Magladry, Mississippi Mills costume designer Renate Seiler, and local production manager Nolan Popplewell.

‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ (July 12 to Aug. 4) could have been drawn from today’s headlines about the red state/blue state divide that currently animates much of the U.S. political culture. Simon, looking at a similarly polarized America in 1966, created the story of two free-thinking liberal magazine writers who fall for a conservative southern belle and Olympic swimmer who’s about to marry a U.S. Marine.

The “girl,” in this instance, is played by Kate Gordon, a regular at Upper Canada Playhouse who returns to the festival for a second

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bill likely unite all three parties at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park even if critics say it will divide Canadians.

Jack MacLaren says he is getting plenty of support all around for his private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill to prevent Quebec construction companies from bidding on Ontario contracts. The PC MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills introduced the Fairness is a Two-Way Street Act in the legislature on May 29. It made it through the first reading. Although private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bills rarely become law, he is confident this one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; similar to one passed when Mike Harris was premier in 1999, but killed by the Liberals in 2006 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get support from all three parties,â&#x20AC;? MacLaren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They realize it is not fair.â&#x20AC;?

If the bill makes it past third reading, construction projects

on the Ontario side will be off limits to Quebecers. While there is no formal ban of Ontario contractors on the Quebec side, MacLaren said he hears regularly from locals who find the red tape and other hurdles make it next to impossible to win Quebec contracts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of tit for tat,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are protecting our rights and Ontario jobs.â&#x20AC;?

Critics say it is unconservative to promote what amounts to protectionism. MacLaren appears willing to take the heat to force Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand. He said if they make it easier for Ontario contractors, he is willing to do the same for Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Ottawa is lucrative for Quebec contractors with hospitals, businesses and more needing work done from time to time, and especially the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2.1 million light-rail project. If the law comes into effect, companies that break it could face a fine up to $25,000 a day; workers could be on the hook for

$2,000 per day.

Among those that would have to change its ways is the City of Ottawa. Last year it hired 30 Quebecers to remove snow instead of Ontario truck drivers.

Although the Parti Quebecois governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inclination is toward protectionism, the province is reeling from a corruption scandal involving construction companies and may move toward cleaning up the rules in the future.

Flowers that are pretty enough to eat

By DALE ODORIZZI Lanark County Master Gardeners

Master Gardeners has bright orange or yellow petals and has been used for centuries to give a beautiful to give a beautiful saffron-like golden colour without saffron exorbitant cost in everything from cakes to casseroles. Use the petals only, not the whole flower.

• Daylilies are completely edible but the flowers are the prettiest. Each has a unique flavour, sweet or savory, raw or cooked or fresh snacks right off the plant. Remove the pistils and flower base for best taste.

• Lavender combines well with other herbs. Use sparingly as it has a powerful fragrance. Sprinkle a few flowers on ice cream.

• Rose petals taste as good as they smell. They are best used in desserts and confections such as rose petal jam.

Use only unsprayed roses.

Try vegetable and herb flowers which have the same taste as the more familiar part of the plant, only milder. Try squash or zucchini flowers in soups or stir fries or deep

fried in batter or sprinkle a few bright flowers of scarlet runner beans on a casserole.

Flowers of chives, onions, garlic and leaks are very decorative so add a few to salads or stir fries.

Herbs are a great source of edible flowers. Pale blue rosemary or pink or purple thyme add visual interest as well as flavour. Borage is grown for its pretty sky-blue flowers and has a mild cucumber-like taste.

Never eat these flowers.

While some flowers are edible, others are extremely toxic. The iron clad rule for eating mushrooms applies here too – unless you are 100 per cent sure of the flower’s identity and are sure it is safe to eat, do not eat.

The following are some commonly grown flowers that must never be eaten: Buttercups (Ranunculus), Castor Beans, Crocus, Daffodil, Delphinium, Foxglove, Hydrangea, Lily of the Valley, Monkshood, Morning Glory, Petunia and Sweet Pea.

EMC Lifestyle – We often think vegetables are for eating and flowers are for looking at. You can combine the two to add flair to your food with flowers.

Make sure that your flowers are edible and that they have not been sprayed with chemicals, making homegrown, unsprayed flowers or those grown by organic growers the best.

Edible flowers should only be used in moderation to add zest or as a beautiful garnish.

Some of the best flowers to eat are: • Nasturtiums are ideal to brighten a tossed salad. They have a watercress-like taste.

The leaves are edible with a peppery flavour and the large round seeds have been used as a substitute for capers.

• Violets are small in size and sweet in flavour, making them best suited for desserts.

Crystallize them for fancy cake decorations or cut them up and sprinkle on ice cream or freeze them in ice cubes to flavour cool drinks.

• Pansies are extremely colourful and versatile. Use them whole or cut up in desserts, salads or side dishes.

• Pot Marigold (Calendula)

1958 Ford custom 4-door loses gas tank on way to dance those were the days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I forgot to mention that when the trunk floor let go, it took not only the gas tank but also the spare tire, bumper jack, and lug wrench. We had to leave those in the bushes because there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anywhere we could put them with five guys going to the dance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trunk floor was full of holes when I bought the Ford. At that time (1966), we still had a lot of unpaved gravel roads so when driving the old Ford (of course right at the speed limit), the dust would enter through the holes in the floor and completely fill the inside of the car.

Before leaving to go out at night, I would go to a nearby stream and soak a blanket with water, then spread it out over the trunk floor.

This helped greatly with keeping the dust out but I guess it also added to the demise of the floor.â&#x20AC;?

EMC Lifestyle - Lionel Churchill of Portugal Cove, Newfoundland, remembers the good old days when cars broke down and you fixed them at the side of the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first car was a 1958 Ford Custom 4-door. I bought it from my uncle for 20 bucks in 1966. It was a rust bucket and had a 223 cubic inch six cylinder that was knocking its brains out, but I loved the beautiful new set of green and white vinyl seat covers it had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One night, me and a few of my buddies were going to a local dance and the whole trunk floor fell out, complete with gas tank.

We put a 5-gallon pail on the back seat and relieved my dad of about 10 feet of his acetylene hose, which we ran from the pail to the fuel line.

Only problem, after about 10 minutes, the gas would soften the hose and it would collapse, causing the old Ford to starve for fuel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would yell out to one of my buddies in the back seat to pull the hose from the can and blow in it as hard as they could.

That would open the hose long enough to give us another 10 minutes of fuel. However, it got us to the dance and back. Like I said,

Canadians can cancel wireless contracts after two years under new CRTC wireless code EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On June 3, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) issued a wireless code that will make it easier for Canadians to understand their contracts and sets out their basic rights.

The code will apply to new contracts for cellphones and other personal mobile devices starting on Dec. 2, 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day, Canadians rely on wireless devices while in their homes, at their jobs, at school or travelling abroad,â&#x20AC;? said Jean-Pierre Blais, chairman of the CRTC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at least every two years.â&#x20AC;?

The wireless code addresses the main frustrations that Canadians shared with the CRTC, which included the length of wireless contracts, cancellation fees, roaming charges and other indus-

try practices. Among other things, individual and small business consumers will be able to: â&#x20AC;˘ Terminate their wireless contracts after two years without cancellation fees, even if they have signed on for a longer term. â&#x20AC;˘ Cap extra data charges at $50/month and international data roaming charges at $100/ month to prevent bill shock. â&#x20AC;˘ Have their cellphones unlocked after 90 days, or immediately if they paid for the device in full. â&#x20AC;˘ Return their cellphones, within 15 days and specific usage limits, if they are unhappy with their service. â&#x20AC;˘ Accept or decline changes to the key terms of a fixedterm contract (i.e., two-year). â&#x20AC;˘ Receive a contract that is easy to read and understand.

The wireless code will apply to all service providers in Canada. In particular, the code will apply in full to

postpaid services (where customers pay a monthly bill after using their services), and where applicable to pre-paid wireless services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wireless code is a

tool that will empower consumers and help them make informed choices about the service options that best meet their needs. To make the most of this tool, consumers

also have a responsibility to educate themselves,â&#x20AC;? Blais added.

The participation of a large number of consumers and the collaboration of the wireless

industry will ensure the wireless codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful implementation.

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Join us on Sunday, June 16, to visit the latest wilderness acquisition of the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC). The beautiful High Lonesome Nature Reserve, with its network of trails that wind by creeks and beaver ponds, through leafy glades, beneath tall white pines and across wild meadows replete with butterflies is a marvelous example of what can happen when community members support their local land trust. This peaceful oasis of tranquility is a welcome getaway from the stress of daily routines. What a deposit we make in the memory bank of our children when they experience such natural beauty!

Young and old alike are invited to join naturalist trail guides to explore this enchanting property in the Pakenham Hills. Take this opportunity to experience a diversity of wildlife habitats and learn about the ecology of a Provincially Significant Wetland complex.

A variety of trail length options will be available from a Rabbitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Romp, to the more relaxed Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hill Saunter, a Curious Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Circuit, and a Pond Prowl through the evergreen borderlands.

The 200-acre High Lonesome Nature Reserve was donated to the conservancy by the family of the late Barry Spicer whose heartfelt wish was to see this beautiful area fully restored to its natural state and protected for all time. A

Desjardins is rushing to insure their clients that the information they collect in this voluntary program will not be given to third-party groups but they won’t be able to deny access provided through legal search warrants or court seizure orders.

Most vehicles today have the computer hardware and software to collect and store such data and much more built into engine, transmission, and body controllers and even some have a factory-installed dedicated flight recorder module.

A recent high-profile collision that resulted in the death of an area driver saw some of this evidence presented in criminal court. Experience in the U.S. is showing that the carrot of lower insurance premiums is drawing a lot of customers and Desjardins expects the same on this side of the border.

Like with anything regarding insurance, you need to understand risks and your comfort or discomfort with them. If you don’t mind giving up some privacy in exchange for cash and you feel your lifestyle doesn’t represent the type police or legal types would be interested in, then this may be for you. If you have several family members on your policy and you have concerns about their driving habits, this would be a convenient way of monitoring their

EMC Lifestyle - The Ontario government’s recent pledge to reduce auto insurance premiums by 15 per cent has more than a few changes in store for drivers.

The NDP have recently charged insurance companies of unnecessarily raising their rates in preparation for the 15 per cent reduction regulation that’s mandated by the most recent provincial budget. Now, either by coincidence or through strategic timing (you guess which) one insurance firm is announcing an Ontario roll-out of their voluntary driver self-monitoring program to provide some substantial discounts to those hit by premium sticker-shock (that’s just about all of us).

This monitoring, which has been established in the Europe and the U.S. for a few years now, is currently in use in Quebec and under consideration in Alberta. It will be offered in Ontario

by Desjardins Insurance (look for more companies to follow). It involves the use of a vehicle data recorder that is plugged into the auto’s onboard computer diagnostic port (usually found under the left side of the dash).

On a regular basis, the insured driver is required to upload the info stored on the recorder to his/her insurance company via a cabled connection to a home PC or wirelessly through a smart phone. The company will review such data as maximum speed, aggressive acceleration or braking, and distance travelled for starters.

The Desjardins system will also have the capability of tracking and recording destinations and routes taken through GPS with date-stamping. Good driving behaviour can earn you lower premiums (the maximum figure of 25 per cent has been touted by Desjardins).

Users will have access to a secure website to bring up a dashboard display of their driving records which, according to Desjardins, will allow them to adjust their driving habits if they

CDSBEO students tell of life-changing March Break mission trip to Guatemala 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.

The trip provided students with the opportunity to make a difference in a global community, and many commented on how they now feel compelled to contribute more locally, in their own communities. Students also noted how they have come to realize the importance of family, as well as how they now have a better understanding of poverty.

St. Michael Catholic High School (CHS) teacher, Mary-Kate Bridson, who travelled with the students, remarked, “This trip is just so worthwhile and unique. The students were able to immerse themselves in the NPH family. We saw the sadness, but we also saw the possibility for hope.”

The students presented the board with a hand-painted card, as well as a purple woven cloth, in recognition of their support of the mission. The cloth, which will be used as an altar cloth in the Advent and Lenten seasons, was purchased in a women’s cooperative in Guatemala, and has been blessed by board chaplain, Father John Whyte.

Catholic Education Week Throughout Catholic Education Week, CDSBEO schools shone a great light on the ways in which the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations are being met throughout the system.

The week began by highlighting

that students and staff are discerning believers formed in the Catholic faith, through the celebration of the annual Catholic Education Week Mass, presided by Archbishop Brendan O’Brien. Across the system, school communities also gave witness to this expectation through school masses, living rosary celebrations, and bible activities.

Superintendent of School Effectiveness, Marg Shea-Lawrence, gave an overview of the week’s events, which was followed by a video slideshow presentation. In addition to various religious celebrations, students also participated in social justice events such as the poverty march in Brockville, a Russell community barbecue fundraiser for Lesotho, and fundraising for local food banks, among other causes.

These actions exemplify how CDSBEO students understand the call to be responsible citizens who give witness to Catholic social teaching.

Other activities such as a Mother’s Day tea and special parent evenings remind students that they are called to be caring family members.

reporting period last year.

The financial summary presented indicated that the board is currently spending within the 2012-13 revised budget, with only a slight savings indicated to March 31, 2013.

The savings to March 31 are mainly

due to timing differences in the recording of expenditures and are not expected to result in a significant surplus for the 2012-13 year. Enrolment and staffing comparisons were also presented, and are in line with the estimates submitted in December 2012.

EMC News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s May 21 board of trustees meeting 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.

Forty 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 is truly the core of the Guatemala Mission Trip experience.

Here, the group stayed for six days, assisting with construction projects, gardening, helping in the kitchen, and working at Castillo Magico, a home for orphans with special needs. After-work activities at the orphanage included Spanish lessons, dancing, a visit to the nearby village of Parramos, and lots of interaction with the children.

Participants then left the orphanage and visited the lakeside resort town of Panajachel, had a guided tour of a Mayan village and visited a local market. On day ten, participants had a guided tour of Antigua, the old colonial
