Three Smiths Falls Police officers receive awards for bravery SALE $ Reg. $1,895

Three Smiths Falls Police officers were awarded for their heroic act of bravery on April 28, when they ran inside a burning building to save a woman who was trapped inside her apartment. Yvonne Barbeau said she’s not sure why she was spared, and just the night before the fire happened, she was ready to die. “I know there is a silver lining, but I’m not sure I see it yet,” she said following a presentation to the officers who saved her life – Const. Michael Gallagher, Const. Dan King, and Sgt. Paul Klassen – with awards for their efforts, by Mayor Shawn Pankow. The presentation was held Monday, June 5 at a regular committee of the whole meeting. The officers raced into the burning apartment building at 8 Pearl St., knowing Barbeau was inside. But the smoke was so thick they had to keep retreating to a nearby window to breathe in fresh air. Finally, after the third attempt the officers were able to rescue Barbeau, who had placed a wet rag over her mouth so she could breathe. She was able to summon the strength to pound on her door to alert the officers she heard yelling for her. “Once I heard Mike Gallagher yell, and I knew it was him, ‘I can’t breathe

I didn’t think I could bang that hard on the door because of my back,” she said, as she relived that horror – something she does almost daily. Barbeau had
back surgery in March, and at one point of that fateful day of April 28 during the early stages of the fire, she said she thought it was the building next door. “I’m trying the best I can with my back surgery,” she said as they told the
story of banging on the door to alert someone that she was still inside. “I thought they were going out the back door, not coming out my way.” Barbeau said she’s not angry or sad that she lost everything.

Lieutenant governor spends ‘inspirational day’ in Perth, Smiths Falls For a day spent at full throttle, it was a visit to a hospital chapel in Smiths Falls which brought Ontario’s lieutenant governor back to her childhood. Elizabeth Dowdeswell spent much of Monday, June 5, attending several events in Perth and Smiths Falls, but it was in the chapel at the Smiths Falls campus of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, where she heard volunteer Lucie Bingley play Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Edelweiss,” that took her back. “The organ always has such a nice, full sound,” Dowdeswell told Bingley after her brief performance. Dowdeswell was a former organist herself at her former church, “but I haven’t played for years and years,” she said wistfully. Though born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, she came over as a youngster, where her father became a preacher in rural Saskatchewan. Her mother would often take up the roll of choir leader. “It’s been a part of my life,” she said, the interweaving of music and faith, which, once again, came together during this visit. Dowdeswell had presented Bingley, 23, with a provincial medal for young volunteers last year, and Bingley had Desmond Devoy/Metroland invited her to visit her at the hospital one day – which Dowdeswell followed Ontario lieutenant governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell hugs Perth and through on this week. After meeting Smiths Falls District Hospital volunteer Lucie Bingley in a hallway at the Dowdeswell at the front door, Bingley Smiths Falls site at the end of her tour of the facility on Monday, June 5.
walked her through the hospital for a tour. Following the chapel visit, the two women went to one of two places where Bingley is often assigned to work, the lab (she also does work at the hospital’s dialysis clinic.) Pointing to the stickers on the floor,

In an effort to prepare for the impending legislation from provincial Bill 68, Lanark County is investigating the option of hiring a county-wide integrity commissioner. County council approved a motion directing staff to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Lanark County/ local municipal integrity commissioner at its May 24 session in Perth. It was previously discussed during the May 10 corporate services committee meeting. The contract will be on either a fee for service or retainer plus fee for service basis. According to a report prepared by clerk/deputy chief administrative officer Leslie Drynan, Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, known as Bill 68, was introduced into the legislature on Nov. 16, 2016. It passed second reading March 23. “The proposed legislation would introduce changes to municipal governance, including the method of changing
council composition,” she explained. “There will be enhanced accountability and transparency measures, including an expanded role for integrity commissioners and new mandatory requirements with respect to codes of conduct and other policies.” “…The local clerks (Lanark County and Smiths Falls) have been working together to work through the legislation in anticipation of its adoption, probably before summer recess,” Drynan continued. The proposed bill would make it mandatory for municipalities to appoint an integrity commissioner and establish a code of conduct for members of council and local boards. “In addition, it will be mandatory for municipalities to adopt and maintain a policy governing the relationship between members of council and the officers and employees of the municipality,” Drynan stated. Other potential requirements include appointing a municipal ombudsman and auditor general, as well as estab-
lishing a lobbyist registry. She said local clerks have consulted both the Association of Ontario (AMO) and the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) “who have been providing feedback and consultation papers on the legislation.” “The Lanark County and Smiths Falls clerks group have met on several occasions to review the potential implications and discuss opportunities to work together for common local processes and enforcement for municipal codes of conduct,” Drynan noted, adding the group has begun the process of updating and drafting a revised code of conduct for members of council, a complaint policy, as well as a council-staff relations policy. “(The group) has indicated a staff-level preference for a county-led solution with respect to the appointment of an integrity commissioner.” Lanark County currently has a closed meeting investigaSee COMMISSIONER page 5

gator, LAS, and adopted a code of conduct with local municipalities in 2007. Their current code of conduct was adopted in 2009 and formal complaint process is defaulted to the Ontario Ombudsman. Carleton Place is the sole municipality who has already appointed an integrity commissioner, Robert Swayze. He was retained in 2012. Others in eastern Ontario who also have them include Renfrew County, Frontenac County, Prince Edward County, Ottawa and Kingston. Coun. John Fenik (Perth mayor) commended the clerks group for their work on the matter and noted that while Drynan’s report stated there wasn’t any enforcement in municipal codes of conduct, Perth is a different story. “We have the ability to remove the mayor, deputy mayor or members of council from in-camera sessions and also remove them from their committee work,” he said. “And that’s about as far as we can go. I truly think that this is a good thing, that we should have an integrity commissioner. It will be interesting to see how this bill plays out because there has to be a uniform approach around municipal codes of conduct and councillor spending policies.” Concerned about the function of an integrity commissioner and spending limits on council, Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor) wondered about a municipality’s protection. “And that is one of the concerns that was raised by AMO and AMCTO on numerous occasions through the consultation process about the mandate of municipal integrity commissioners,” Drynan answered. “It’s expanded, but what role the municipality has in setting parameters, that hasn’t been outlined yet.” While Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve) was supportive of the recommendation, he believed nothing should be done until the bill had passed. “…I’d like to see it deferred until Bill 68 passes because what happens if it changes and we’ve already bought in?” he questioned. He was also worried about more downloading from the province, concerns shared by MPPs during debate on the bill’s second reading in the legislature, according to Drynan’s report. Other issues are the failure to provide new revenue tools for municipalities; the possibility of unfair expanded use of administrative monetary penalties as there’s no appeal process; as well as electronic participation in council meetings could discourage participation and accountability among council members. “…It’s going to third reading now, so things will change, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to come out in some form,” added Coun. Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills mayor), applauding AMO’s lobbying with the province on the bill. “…They recently got a few concessions from the province to water down the power of the integrity commissioner…and who could apply (for it).” Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) also called the recommendation “good business practice.”

greeted by Dr. Mary Louise Kocieka, who joked that “I’m doing her (Bingley’s) job now, because she’s with you!” (“See you tomorrow,” Bingley called out to Kocieka as they left the lab.) With all of the walking that Bingley was doing this past Monday alone, Dowdeswell joked that “you need a FitBit that takes count of your step.” As the two women hugged each other goodbye that afternoon, Dowdeswell leaned in and told Bingley: “Thank you for what you are doing.” Dowdeswell’s first visit of the day was to the Queen Elizabeth School in Perth – an appropriately named school for a woman who is Queen Elizabeth II’s royal representative to the province. Students and staff had invited their Queen’s Park guest to take part in their Canada 150 celebrations in the school gym. Afterwards, she visited with school staffers, and even received a group hug from students of Jacinthea Beyea’s class. After the national celebration with students, Dowdeswell’s black SUV, with blue Ontario regal flags flying on the front, sped her downtown to the Perth town hall where she met with Mayor John Fenik, members of council, and town hall staffers. Dowdeswell and her entourage then headed across the county to Smiths Falls, to see the Rideau Canal lock station at the Abbott Street bridge in action. She was met by a contingent of Parks Canada employees – one of whom, maintenance worker Bill Code, had rushed the lieutenant governor’s blue flag up the staff minutes before her arrival. She was met not only by the Smiths Falls lock master, Sabastien Geoffroy, but also by Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow. Dowdeswell’s aide on this visit was Lt. Col. Evelyn Kelly, who grew up in Smiths Falls and went to school here, so, this visit was just as much of a
homecoming for her as it was a working visit. Hours after her visit to the school, Dowedeswell said she was still amazed at the show put on by the school students, how they truly captured “what it means to be Canadian,” and in English and French, no less, she said, during a press conference at the hospital later. “It was great to visit them.” Shaking her head, she added: “Out of the mouths of children.”
Having visited with students, and to have met young people like Bingley, who “is such an ambassador.” Dowdeswell said it was important to teach young people “to care for people.” “It’s been a very inspirational day all around,” she said. Dowdeswell joked that she had appointed herself as Ontario’s “storyteller in chief,” since “stories are just so powerful,” and that we as Ontar-
ians do not do a good enough job of telling our story. “This one here is a wonderful story,” said Dowdeswell, pointing over to Bingley, who started volunteering at the hospital as part of a co-operative education placement eight years ago, and continued after her time was up. “I fell in love with my work,” said
Bingley. “I decided I had (to) stay on as a volunteer…I am very grateful to be here.” Thanks to a book she helped compile, entitled 150 Stories, which invited 150 Ontarians to write about their home province, in about 150 words, she hopes to create “a sense of who Ontarians are.”

OPP to provide officers with Naloxone and protective equipment for drug searches The Ontario Provincial Police will provide Naloxone to all front line members and to those in designated specialized units. Each front line officer is being issued a kit with two doses of Naloxone nasal spray while on duty, while members of selected specialized units, such as Drug Enforcement Units and Community Street Crime Units, will each be issued a personal kit. "We take the health and safety of our members and our communities very seriously. With the increased prevalence of fentanyl, fentanyl analogues and synthetic opioid powders on our streets, there is a very real danger of exposure and these steps are being taken to ensure the safety of those we serve and our officers,” said Commissioner Vince Hawkes. The use of personal protective equipment will be mandatory while conducting suspected drug searches, seizures and/or sampling to help ensure the safety of OPP officers. Front line members will be required to wear protective equipment including a re-

spiratory mask, safety glasses or goggles, nitrile gloves and long sleeve shirt or jacket. Health Canada testing determined fentanyl was present in 114 OPP seizures in 2016 from the mainly rural communities the OPP serves, demonstrating it is an emerging and ongoing concern in all parts of Ontario. Testing results for 2017 are not yet available, but the number of seizures with fentanyl present appears to be similar to 2016 levels. "The opioid crisis is a growing threat. Equipping OPP officers with Naloxone kits will give vulnerable people timely access to this life-saving drug. When someone is overdosing, minutes can make the difference between life and death. This initiative will save lives,” said Marie-France Lalonde, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. "The safety of our members is paramount and as we are seeing more fentanyl in various forms, the chance of exposure is increased. Having additional personal protective equipment
and Naloxone on hand could very well save the life of one of our members, or a member of the public,” said Rob Jamieson, president of the Ontario Provincial Police Association. The primary purpose of the Naloxone is for use if an officer is exposed. However, if there is a life-threatening situation and emergency medical services are not immediately available, officers will be trained to use it on a member of the public. The Naloxone kits are an additional tool that OPP officers will be able to use to help keep our communities safe. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that can reverse an opioid overdose for approximately 20 minutes to one hour, depending on the strength of the opioid. OPP members will receive training on the use of Naloxone, the protective equipment and new procedures on how to handle any suspected controlled substance over the summer. The OPP is in the procurement process to acquire the Naloxone kits. Submitted by OPP

COMMENTARY
Benefit might be minimal
T
he Ontario government's recent announcement that the minimum wage and other related rates of pay would be increasing significantly in 2018 and 2019 generated an expected mix of responses. Some praised the proposal as a step in the right direction of the province's working poor, while others slammed it for being a job killer and a desperate attempt to pull an election win out of the perceived jaws of an upcoming defeat. We can relate to those who are trying to make ends meet on the current minimums. That task must be even more challenging when dealing with larger households and in urban areas where the cost of living is higher than what we experience in the Lanark County area. Trying to save for education or retirement is difficult if not impossible without taking on multiple jobs. And yet, it stands to reason that certain businesses will have little or no choice but to insist that consumers offset the increased labour costs in order for those
businesses to survive – and cutting into those wages gains for lower-income individuals as a result. If the choice is to reduce staff or close the business, the affected workers do not realize the benefit of higher rates. Fewer workers gainfully employed would presumably lead to higher social service costs. And it's fair to ask about how some businesses that are already being asked to donate on a regular basis would be willing and able to continue their support of sports teams and community projects if they have to make adjustments to compensate for paying more in operating costs. We are conflicted by the potential benefits of moving in the direction of a guaranteed living wage being offset or cancelled out by higher prices and the possibility of there being fewer lower-level job options in the future. The bottom line is companies are in business to make money; they do not exist merely to employ people.
There was always something to be done in the fields for Father
I
n my mind’s eye I could see Father in the faroff fields earlier in the spring, plowing the fields that lay beyond the Bonnechere River over the West Hill. He walked behind the plow, stooped over as if he were carrying a heavy load. He used the furrow first plowed, as a guideline, never once looking back to make sure he was moving in a straight line. I would, if I wasn’t at school, go over to where he was working, sit on the log fence, and watch him. He would nod in my direction, but there was no time for idle chatter, and I would stay there for the longest time, often wondering how he could stand the constant back and forth of

walking the fields that made up our farm on that side of the river. And even though much time had passed since those fields had been plowed, there was still the land on what he called the north side of the railroad tracks to tend to. Often the first-plowed fields would be sprouted by the time Father had finished plowing and planting the other fields of grain. And now he was sitting on the rim of the big water tank in the barn yard. The bottoms of his bib-overalls were caked with mud from the fields he had been working in, and I saw that even his leather laces in his work boots were hidden by the
ter trough that was there to quench the thirst of the livestock in the hot summer weather. He had in his hand the whetstone and he was trying to sharpen the plow point
to make the job yet to be done easier. I saw that the very point of the plow point had worn away, leaving that part jagged, but there was enough left to finish the job if he could once
again create a sharp edge. And that was what he was trying to do on that hot summer day. You just didn’t buy a new See MARY page 9
LETTER TO THE EDITOR dirt. I knew he would be stripping in the wood shed before coming into the house for his supper. He sat with the plow-point between his knees, anchored tightly so it couldn’t move. And I wondered how he could endure the pain of its weight on his legs, as he held it firmly so that he could work on it. And I knew why he was sitting on the rim of the wa-

Resident pulls out of race to ward off by-election DEAR EDITOR,
Rideau Lakes council recently voted in the spring to have a by-election in Bastard and South Burgess ward of Rideau Lakes Township due to the open seat left by the tragic loss of Doug Good. At that time, I asked council to appoint one of the three people who had made an effort to run in the previous election, instead of picking someone they wanted. Those people included

myself, Rob Dunfield and Donald Wills. Council was unable to support any of those choices and opted for a by-election, the cost of which was quoted at that meeting of $11,000 to $18,000. When the nomination period closed on May 31, there were only two candidates – Rob Dunfield and myself. So I have chosen to withdraw from the race.

point because a bit of it had worn off! I once asked Father how something so hard could wear down to that point, and he said it was because the land, even though his ancestors had done their best to remove them, still had buried stones in the ground. The constant contact with the stones was what had worn the plow-point down. Father, with his hands bare, scraped the stone over and over the edge of the plow-point, stopping only long enough to dip the whetstone into the trough of water, trying to create a new sharp edge.
I went to the pump close by and brought him a cup of cold water. He took the cup with his weather-beaten hand and swallowed it down without stopping. He handed the cup back to me, only nodding his thanks. Again, I knew there was no time for idle chatter. The north fields beckoned him, and the plow point had to be ready. As I so often did, I watched Father at work that day. I moved to the twig chair that sat on the back stoop so that I could see him, hoping he didn’t know that I was there. If he did, there was no acknowledgement. And again, in my mind’s eye, I could see him walking
mile after mile behind the plow pulled by our horse, and I wondered at how he could stand the monotony of it all. The steady plodding up and down, one field after another, and to finish the job, spending untold hours sitting in the sun trying to create a new sharp edge to a plow point that had served three generations. But that’s the way it was. And the way it would always be. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

creted. The mayor and staff, while I feel were throwing up many road blocks to hide this information, continually insisted that our debt was only $6.6 million. We now know from the financial statements that we started 2014 with a debt of $9.9 million, and ended the year with a debt of $10.2 million, while carrying a $1.1 million deficit. In closing, I believe 2018 is
our chance to rebuild the trust that has been lost. If Mr. Dunfield does decide to run for mayor of Rideau Lakes next year, he will be getting 100 per cent of my support and I hope that of my friends, family and all the residents of Rideau Lakes. It is time that accountability and transparency are more than just buzz words! Paula Banks, Otter Lake
LETTER
From page 8
It really did not make sense to spend that money on a byelection when the end results would be the same as my original request to council. Rob Dunfield ran for mayor in the last election and he is considering the same in 2018. If you will remember Mr. Dunfield and I tried to tell the current council and taxpayers that the real financial situation of Rideau Lakes was being se-

Parliament Hill is one of Ottawa’s ‘hidden gems’ Some of you may shake your heads after reading the headline of this column. “Parliament Hill, a hidden gem? How is that possible? It’s one of the best known locations in Canada,” you might be thinking. I understand the skepticism. But, bear with me, there is a point to this. I’m not thinking about the Centre Block of Parliament, one of the most well-known and dramatic symbols of Canada. Nor am I referring to the East and West Blocks which flank the main structure. The West Block is currently being refurbished and will serve as the temporary home of our national seat of government, the House of Commons. Temporary as in several years; the current House is scheduled to undergo a major and long overdue renovation. I am not referring to the lawns of Parliament, either. The lawns host everything from Canada Day celebrations to the summer Changing of the Guard to an annual marijuana smoke fest, along with every kind of protest imaginable. The lawns of Parliament are the heart of our democracy. The eternal flame on the centre walkway — ignited in 1967 to mark Canada’s centennial — still burns brightly in 2017, as we prepare to officially mark our nation’s sesquicentennial (150th anniversary) on Canada Day. To say I’m a regular on Parliament Hill is something of an understatement. I have been there so many times
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
that I lost count years ago. I am an Ottawa native who grew up in suburban Stittsville. When I was living at home, many moons ago, it seemed every out-of-town relative and friend who visited the Maguire household wanted us to take them on a tour of the nation’s capital, including Parliament Hill. That trend has continued through my married life. During our more than 40 years living in Carleton Place, Kathleen and I have hosted many visits to The Hill or we have gone there ourselves for one reason or another, including July 1 observances. During a decade of service with the Carleton Place Sister City Committee (I am the current chair), our group has hosted a dozen Youth Exchange visits involving secondary school students from the town’s two sister communities: Comrie, Scotland, U.K.; and Franklin, Tenn., U.S.A. All of the exchanges have included a visit to Parliament Hill and usually a tour of the Centre Block. The most recent was last week, when
three students from Franklin and their adult chaperone visited Carleton Place and eastern Ontario. On May 30, we took the Tennessee contingent to the Canadian Museum of History (formerly the Museum of Civilization) in Gatineau, Que. Don’t miss the Canadian hockey display there, which runs all summer. It is excellent. Library survived From the history museum, visitors have a commanding view across the Ottawa River to the back of the Parliament Buildings — including the library, which was the only part of the original structure to survive the destructive fire of 1916. Parliament Hill from behind is also impressive and our visitors took many photos from that vantage point. One young lady asked if we would be visiting Parliament. “Tomorrow,” I promised. And so, it was on the final day of May that I conducted my latest tour of The Hill. Our walk through the heart of the nation’s capital included a stop at the National War Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, something I do every time I take people to Parliament Hill. Of course, we saw all of the prominent areas I have already mentioned. But, it is the “hidden gems,” the things most visitors never see, that I focused on. Judging by the numbers, it seems few
people realize they can walk around the Centre Block — although, unfortunately, the construction work has some areas closed at present. But, behind and beside the huge stone structure, there are statues and objects which help reinforce the significance of The Hill. For example, an original bell of Parliament which plunged to earth when the Victoria Clock Tower (now the Peace Tower) was engulfed in flames on Feb. 3, 1916. Seven people, including a member of Parliament, died as a result of the blaze. There is also a wonderful Summer Pavilion, built in 1995, which people who fail to circumnavigate the massive building also miss. It was designed by renowned architect Julian Smith who, for many years, lived in Appleton near Carleton Place. To me, the gazebo overlooking the Ottawa River is a must see. Still, of all the things you will enjoy behind the Centre Block, including an exterior view of the towering Parliamentary Library, the best feature is the views. Spread out below you is spectacular vistas of Ottawa and neighbouring Gatineau. I never tire of the views. In spring and summer, when the shrubbery is in full bloom, you sometimes have to stand on the edge of the wall to get a vantage point. Far below is the picturesque Ottawa River, along with impressive views of the history museum on the opposite bank, as well as Nepean Point and Champlain’s statue. From the cliffside
perch, you can also see the bustling Lowertown district of Ottawa. In the foreground are Major’s Hill Park and the towering edifices of the National Gallery of Canada and Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica on Sussex Drive. During a Hill tour, I always outline details about the former pathway — parts of which are still visible — that once circled Parliament Hill, high above the rushing river. The pathway has been closed for decades for safety reasons. But in my youth, in the company of Stittsville friend Ernie Moore, I once hopped the gate and tempted the fates by walking all the way around the supposedly “impassable” walkway. We managed to navigate it with relative ease. However, 50 years later, I wouldn’t recommend such an expedition. Visitors who fail to stroll around Parliament’s Centre Block also miss other highlights. Among them is Queen Victoria’s statue, perched high on a mound overlooking the West Block, and the statues of the Famous Five, the pioneering women who were victorious in the 1929 “Persons Case.” There are more than 20 individual or group (bronze) statues on The Hill. For those who have never explored the hidden gems of Parliament Hill, the opportunity exists year-round. But, it’s especially enjoyable at this time of year.

'The Decorator' kicks off at Full Circle Theatre June 11 Full Circle Theatre audiences were treated to a high-energy romp this past weekend when The Decorator, a comedy by Donald Churchill, blew into town. "What a great show!" and "Perfect! Perfect summer fun!" were two of the comments from first weekend audiences. The show runs for four more performances (Thursday through Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoon) this week, so there's still time to catch it. The Decorator is unashamedly a bit of lightweight fun — intended solely to raise some laughs and let people leave the theatre well entertained. From fast and funny dialogue to lots of physical gags, it's definitely a show in the "British farce" tradition that includes TV shows like Are You Being Served? and the long-running Carry On movie series. Don't look for any deep meanings here — but do look for lots of laughs. Bored housewife Marcia, played by Karen Bernique, has been having an affair for three years, whenever her husband takes his annual out-ofcountry business trip. This year, however, she is confronted by Jane (Kristy Angel) who has followed her husband to his tryst. Vengeance is about to ensue, in the form of broken furniture, smashed vases and threatened exposure. What could be more natural than Marcia confiding in, and enlisting the aid of, Walt (Chris Angel), the replacement decorator hired to finish the study. Luckily Walt is only a parttime decorator; he's also a part-time actor and he throws himself into the challenge with artistic fervour. Taking Shakespeare's Othello as his inspiration for his portrayal of a jealous husband, he rants and roars in tragic form, bewildering the two women and bringing the show to its very unexpected conclusion. Karen Bernique is confused and bewildered as her Marcia tries to keep up with Walt, as he uses high tragedy to inspire his characterization of her husband. "Do we have to follow Othello so closely?" she says. "After all, he did strangle his wife." Kristy Angel is haughty, high-handed and
nata was funny? The Decorator concludes its run this week with performances June 8, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. and June 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets are just $20 reserved, $22 at the door and just $10 for students. To reserve, simply call 613-267-1884. No service fees and no credit cards required; cash at the performance is requested. All performances at the barrier-free, air-conditioned Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park. The Decorator kicks off BarnDoor Productions' 22nd summer season in fine style, with lots of laughs and "perfect summer fun." Submitted photo

Chris Angel (yes, the two Angels are married in real life, adding another level to the production) is a patient and long-suffering Walt when he is the decorator, adjusting his persona from jovial Cockney workman to Downton Abbey-ish butler as the situation changes, before becoming a true artist taking on the role of Marcia's husband, ranging from Henry IV to Othello to Noel Coward and generating more broken furniture. The show was ably directed by David Bird, with assistance from George Spelvin in the last week as Bird recovered from minor surgery. It moves fast from the very top, beginning with a shriek and ending with Ode To Joy. The set, featuring two rooms and six doors (which is no mean feat to make stable), is a visual treat and the incidental music is drawn from Beethoven — who knew that the Moonlight So-

Outright laughter greets empty nesters in 'Bare Bear Bones' Have you ever wanted to talk to a playwright about his play? Well, now is your chance. Michael Grant will be at the Station Theatre Saturday June 17 and is looking forward to questions from the audience after the performance of his play Bare Bear Bones. This hilarious comedy, written by Grant and directed by local Sheila Jasiak, runs from June 16 to 25; it’s funny, thoughtful and bares everything between a middle-aged couple at a hiccup point in their marriage. With camping season not far off, the Bare Bear Bones acting troupe is having great fun putting Smiths Falls’ mid-June show together. The story goes like this, and it’s one many middle-agers will relate to. Norman and Ruth are empty nesters. After many years raising their kids they realize they’ve lost the spark in their marriage. They take the advice of a discount counsellor and head out on a road trip to somewhere they remem-
ber being in love — The Bear Bones Family Campground. Car problems and a late arrival place them in an exposed spot the next morning when they learn the campground is now known as The Bear Bones Alternative Lifestyle Campground. They can’t leave, so the very conservative couple toughs it out only to find that in order to avoid all the “flops and giggles” surrounding them, they have to work together. They do, and learn a lot about each other in the process. This is Jasiak’s third play as director — Nana’s Naughty Knickers in 2015 and Things My Mother Taught Me in 2016, both written by Katherine DiSavino. Jasiak's also an actress, with 12 roles under her belt, the latest Over the River and Through the Woods at the Studio Theatre in Perth in 2016. But when she read Bare Bear Bones by Michael Grant and it made her “laugh and cry” she knew immediately she wanted to direct it.

Economy driving risk of collision fatalities up You would think with all the recent advances in auto collision mitigation technology, we would soon start to see the fruits of the labour of countless vehicle engineers and designers. We now have vehicles that can automatically brake when an obstacle is detected in their path, and can autonomously keep us in our lanes, and warn us of vehicles approaching from various blind spots. But, a recent study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) of the U.S. shows the trend for fatal collisions is actually increasing, not decreasing. Those lessons learned from south of the 49th parallel are just as applicable on the north side of that great undefended line. And the reason for this uptake might surprise you, although not those who study and analyze traffic patterns and the behaviour on our roadways. "Vehicles continue to improve, performing better and better in crash tests," says David Zuby, IIHS executive vice president and chief research officer. "The latest driver death rates show there is a limit to how much these changes can accomplish without other kinds of efforts." Charles Farmer, IIHS VP adds that: “Road deaths have been trending downward since the early 1970s, with an especially large dip beginning in 2008. However, that changed in 2015, with deaths increasing seven per cent over the previous year. Preliminary data indicates the toll increased in 2016 as well.” One of the chief reasons for this increase, according to the IIHS, is an improving economy sending more drivers out on the road for more distance covered in a more risky, less attentive manner. According to a
TELL SOMEONE!
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
learned colleague A.C. Gullon BSc., PEng, this isn’t anything new. In his studies for various governments and regulatory bodies around the globe, he locked in this correlation between collisions and good economies in almost every country and region he visited and worked in. He termed this situation the ‘absent-minded professor syndrome’, indicating when a driver’s mind is occupied by business, he or she is less likely to pay attention to the job at hand, safely piloting their vehicles on busy roads. While Mr. Gullon often expressed his statistics in the more accurate collision/fatality per distance driven, the IIHS report theirs as occurrences per million registered vehicle years (a registered vehicle year is one vehicle registered for one year). One of the key economic drivers, the employment rate, is used by the IIHS to develop
their statistical predictor models. They found that a decline in the unemployment rate from six per cent to five per cent is associated with a two-per-cent increase in vehicle miles travelled. That jump in exposure leads to an equivalent two-percent jump in fatalities. However, after accounting for the change in miles travelled, the decline in the unemployment rate is associated with an additional two-per-cent increase in road deaths. In other words, only half of the effect of an improved economy on traffic deaths is due to increased driving. For auto shoppers, the IIHS crunched their data to provide some indication of how different vehicle types and makes/ models fare in keeping their drivers and passengers alive. As you might suspect, smaller sub-compacts offer less protection than SUVs, and higherend luxury brands are better than entry level mainstreamers. And to confirm we can’t rely on new and developing technology, Mr. Farmer of the IIHS added: “Improvements in vehicle technology are important,
but we also need to address old problems such as speeding and driving while impaired.” Based on the 2014 model year, the vehicles with the enviable record of reporting zero fatalities per million vehicle years registered were the Audi A6 4WD, Audi Q7 4WD, BMW 535i 4WD, Jeep Cherokee 4WD, Lexus CT 200h, Lexus RX 350 2WD, Mazda CX-9 2WD Mercedes Benz M class 4WD, Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4WD, and VW Tiguan 2WD. On the opposite and deadlier end of the scale, the top five vehicles with the worst fatality record were the 2014 Hyundai Accent sedan, Kia Rio sedan, Scion tC, Chevrolet Spark, and Nissan Versa. Of course, it would be easy to argue these two categories of vehicles generally attract completely different types of drivers — such as, someone driving an expensive BMW might be more careful driving it than an owner of an entry-priced subcompact import. But that doesn’t explain why reasonably priced vehicles like the Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-9, and VW Tiguan

BBBS golf tourney a big success Supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County were on hand to enjoy a fun day of golf at Mapleview in Perth on Saturday. It was another sold-out event, with 144 golfers taking part, and enjoying the beautiful course while supporting a great local children’s charity. Perth 3M Canada was this year’s title sponsor, and sent two teams to participate, as well as donated items for the very popular take home bags that each golfer gets. The participants were well fed during the day. Tim Hortons donated the coffee and muffins, Garden Market Smiths Falls provided fresh fruit for a mid-morning snack and dessert to accompany the homemade cookies provided by Wendy Andison. Shoppers Drug Mart in Smiths Falls provided pop, Frito Lay donated chips. Blair & Sons donated water and ice. There were many games that added to the day’s fun, including a putting contest that provided many golfers with Tim Hortons’ Gift Cards donated by Leo Adams Investments and a trip to Las Vegas donated by Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac in Smiths Falls. Thank you to Crain and Schooley Part of Arthur J. Gallagher Canada Limited for providing a Hole in One. Details Reality Inc.— Linda Hewson, provided more fun for our golfers as our Prize Cart Sponsor. Another lucky golfer won a hotel and car-care package donated by the The Hinton Auto Group. Big Brothers Big Sisters were happy to have many other great sponsors as well. Raw Roofing was our new Lunch is On Us sponsor and 4 Degrees Brewing Company was the beverage cart sponsor this year. Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC was the cart sponsor for this Year’s GFK’s tournament Metroland Media was once again the
media sponsor, helping to spread the news about the 3M Golf for Kids Sake Tournament. Having Smiths Falls Canadian Tire as a golf sponsor was an extra treat for our golfers this year. Likewise, we were excited to have a new driving range sponsor this year, Smiths Falls Kia. Autumn’s Fine Flowers once again provided each table with beautiful centrepieces. Prodecal was the sign sponsor this year, helping to ensure more money was raised for mentoring programs in Lanark County. “Mentoring programs cost money”, quotes Jennifer Miller, Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters. “Having trained social service workers on staff to ensure volunteers are carefully screened is really important. Events like this one help us cover those costs.” 605 children received service through the agency in 2016. Each volunteer that offers to work with a child through our agency is carefully screened and evaluated for the safety of the children by a trained social worker. Thorough background checks are conducted, along with interviewing and training. Children are also given safety training, and go through an interview process, along with their families, to ensure that each match is set up to be successful. Matches are then monitored closely to ensure its success, and the safety and well-being of the child. National standards are followed throughout the process. The agency does not receive sustainable government funding, so relies on events like this golf tournament to fund its programs. More than 15 volunteers worked tirelessly to put on the event, which raised over $18,000 for the local charity. For more information about this organization of its programs, call 613-283-0570.

LAWS has host of barn cats looking for a new farm to call home In the last few weeks, we have featured some super-cuddly, friendly cats who want nothing more than to enjoy human companionship — and they have found loving furever homes. We also featured former street cats who would rather have nothing to do with humans — and they have found homes in nice barns where they will be safe hanging out with other cat buddies and all the mice and rats they care to chase. This week's featured cats are somewhere in between these two extremes. They are all former street/ colony cats who are more-or-less socialized, a bit shy but not at all aggressive. We believe that with a little more encouragement and reassurance from patient owners in a caring home these deserving creatures will all learn to be trusting, loving and lovable pets.
Maple and Marvelous are two handsome youngsters, barely out of kittenhood, have been at LAWS for 2 months. They look similar — both small, slim, pale orange in colour — but they are easy to tell apart after only a short while. They were initially both very timid and ran away when approached rather than be touched. Now Maple comes out to greet visitors, especially if treats are a possibility, and both he and Marvelous enjoy being stroked. They are both active and playful and while they are not comfortable being held for long they are both very close to being perfect pets.

Artistic director wins prestigious award
If you ever need proof that nice guys finish first, here it is. Perth's Studio Theatre is thrilled to announce that the 2017 Theatre Ontario Michael Spence Award for Contributions to Community Theatre has been presented to our own artistic director, actor and play director David Parry. This important award honours individuals for their sustained involvement, generosity of spirit, and commitment to helping community theatre flourish within their region. David was enthusiastically nominated by his colleagues at the Studio Theatre, and recommended for the award by the Eastern Ontario Drama League. “I was overwhelmed to learn that my peers at Studio Theatre Productions had nominated me for this prestigious award, and subsequently to receive the approval of colleagues in EODL,” said David. “I have known and admired all of the previous recipients from the ranks of EODL and I am truly honoured to be included among them.” For nearly four decades, David has pursued his passion for the theatre. His influence has been felt across eastern Ontario, primarily in the Ottawa Region, and especially in Perth. He has been involved as an actor and director in more than 70 productions, and has worked behind the scenes in countless others. David continues to work tirelessly to attract, mentor and motivate talented new actors and directors — from Perth and beyond — believing that this enriches us all. The Michael Spence Award was presented
Marvelous
Luke This handsome black-and-white tuxedo, recent arrival 2-year old Luke, is the most shy of all of this week's featured cats. He tends to tuck himself away when there are people around, but accepts being stroked if you catch him snoozing in the sunshine. Barn cats We currently have some more rescued cats who resist all our efforts to socialize them. They will be much happier living in a barn than in a home and they will take care of your rodent problems in exchange for shelter, food and water. If you can give one or more of these cats an alternative to living in the shelter please call us.

Lacey This pretty little black-and-white lady has only been at the shelter for a short time. She is shy but doesn't hide, she can be approached and stroked, which she enjoys. She is mediumhair, her silky fur is short and neat in the front, getting longer toward the back with a beautiful bushy tail. She is about two years old.

Smiths Falls dealership celebrates 30 years in business
Get Your Barefeet Out!
BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
Kristine Fair of Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac Ltd. appreciates her customers. She and the staff at the car dealership just outside Smiths Falls on Highway 15 have been working on a party, held June 1, to celebrate 30 years in business since February. And what a party. There were hors d'oeuvres, draw prizes including a 42-inch television and a trip to either Las Vegas or a cruise (customer choice); an open bar, a buffet spread and gifts for all to take home that included a signature mug with goodies. There was also a celebratory cake and a cupcake tree for dessert. It’s the first one of this magnitude since their 25th just five years ago. “This is the first one without Dad,” she said. “I’m without words because it’s such a privilege to be able to carry on my dad’s legacy. He started this back in 1987… didn’t really have too much financial investment into this store and to see it today and what it’s become, and what I’ve been able to do with it since his passing as well, I’m truly, truly blessed to have the opportunity to do this.” She said she hopes her father is “smiling down and saying, ‘That’s my girl.’ “Our sales rates have increased, our service, customer retention – we’ve improved the facilities as well. We’ve added on to a service bay. We’ve done some major landscaping. And our team itself has grown from what he had of a handful of employees of about 15 and now we are up to 39. I hope he’s smiling and proud that I’m

My sister (Merridee Fair) struggled with that for 28 years.” Fair said she will keep the dealership in the family as long as she can, especially now that her son, Mitchell Clemmens, has become their delivery coordinator. “He’s becoming a business manager,” Fair said. “He’s learning to do
that – financial services. I’m proud of both my kids. My daughter, his twin sister (Caitlin) has chosen another industry…which is fine.” The twins will be 24 in September. Speaking about the dealership’s 30year anniversary, Fair said she knew her dad was by her side, and has been through it all. “I just hope he’s proud of where we are today.”

‘It’s all about community,’ say Smiths Falls firefighters, remembering the Pearl Street fire BY EVELYN HARFORD
eharford@metroland.com
The Pearl Street fire devastated and displaced families, but through it, the community came together — the reason why Smiths Falls firefighters say they do what they do. Long-time Smiths Falls firefighter, Lt. Jason Smith, was one of the first on-scene at the fire that devastated much of the 8 Pearl St. units on April 28, leaving many victims with little more than just the clothes on their backs. “There was heavy fire up on the third-floor balcony, coming up through the third floor,” he said. “Initially, we weren’t sure how many people were in the building.” There was one apartment on the third floor, in the rear of the building, that Smith thought could be occupied. Smith, a seasoned 18-year veteran of the force, battled his way through the rolling heat and smoke despite the most dangerous risk of ceiling collapse; just another day in the line of duty. “It’s dark, it’s hot,” he said. “Everything fades away and you focus on your tasks.” Smith went to the unit that
they suspected someone could be, checked it out, but there wasn’t anyone there. “We were quite shocked no one was in there,” he said. “I think what helped was the time of day.” Smith explained that in the day-time hours when the fire broke out, fewer people were likely to be home versus if the blaze would have erupted at night. Smith went into the building along with many others, including three Smiths Falls police officers, Const. Michael Gallagher, Const. Dan King and Sgt. Paul Klassen, who were honoured in the Smiths Falls council chambers on June 5 for their bravery in rescuing Pearl Street resident Yvonne Barbeau who remained in her unit while it was ablaze. The three officers were sent to hospital for smoke inhalation. Bravery, fear and community is part of the job for all emergency service providers, and why Smith and his colleagues at the fire hall say they do what they do. “I just think we can all be joking around at the hall one minute, but when a call comes in we all come tougher and do what we’re passionate about,”
he said. Randy Normandin, Lt. Fire Prevention Officer with the Smiths Falls Fire Department, who oversaw the Pearl Street fire and took over command from Smith when he arrived on the scene, echoed his colleague’s sentiment. “We’re like family,” he said. “I was very proud of them.” But, Normandin said, they don’t do the job for the glory or the shirt — it’s about giving back. “It’s all about community,” he said. “There’s something to be said about how we pull together not just in emergencies, but all the time. “If you can reach out and make their day a little better, even through tragedy, that’s why I do it.” Normandin said that being a firefighter in a small town is unique, and firefighters have to be versatile and able to do many jobs, not like in cities like Ottawa where they have more firefighters to do specific tasks. There were close to 50 firefighters from four departments on scene to fight this fire. It was under control in about an hour and a half — with no casualties — thanks to the bravery and hard work of all emergency ser-

“It’s crazy, those big ones,” said Normandin. The Smiths Falls Fire Department's newest full-time recruit, ex-military firefighter, Andrew Fleming, said although he wasn't able to attend the Pearl Street fire with the department due to a family commitment out West, he said he's looking forward to being part of a great team and a great
community that comes together in times this these. Overall, fire Chief Normand Beauchamp said the operation went well and he was proud of all those who helped bring everyone home safely. The Smiths Falls Fire Department and the Office of the Fire Marshal are still investigating the fire — a report is expected within a year.

SMITHS FALLS KIA
Jobs for mentally ill could boost self-esteem, provide respite for caregivers BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Mental illness caregivers want to get the people they care for proper work — and look after their own ability to work, too. When it comes to people dealing with mental illness “there may be opportunities for them to work,” said Louis Seguin, a director with the Mental Illness Caregivers Association of Canada (MICA) during a community meeting at the Lions Club hall in Smiths Falls on the evening of Wednesday, May 31. Seguin, a mental health advocate who is leading a MICA-led project focused on employment and workplace issues, said that when someone with a mental illness gets a job, “too often they don’t (stay) and they leave,” in part because of stigma. Another stumbling block for those with mental illness entering the workplace is where caregivers fit into the picture. Looking at agreements between labour unions and the federal government, for example, “it’s almost void of caregivers,” Seguin said. However, there are signs of hope coming from employers like the federal civil service. “The clerk of the Privy Council is all over this issue,” said Seguin, who wants to see a workshop between MICA and the provincial and fed-
eral governments, to try to secure a healthy environment for mentally ill job seekers to make sure they have opportunities for employment. Paul McIntyre, the evening’s host, said “everybody needs to feel some purpose in their life." “I’d like to see them work to have some self-esteem.” Having worked for the federal government himself, Seguin stated that senior federal government managers can be hesitant of new thinking “unless they see a return at the national level. (Otherwise) they tend to shy away.” On the other side of the coin, Seguin said MICA would also like to see a shift in workplace thinking for those caregivers who work themselves, but are also looking after loved ones with mental illness, so that they can better juggle their duties at home and that the employer “not lose the productivity of that person who is a caregiver,” said Seguin. McIntyre knows this feeling all too well, of being squeezed by demands at home and demands on the job. “I was working with two kids who were mentally ill,” said McIntyre at the forum. “They got supports. I didn’t. I was expected to do my job.” Had he had some of those supports, “I would have had less sleepless nights.”
Thankfully, for people like McIntyre, this is changing. Public Service and Procurement Canada became the first federal department to appoint an ombudsman for mental health, Andre Latreille, this past winter, so, “we know that we have their attention,” said Seguin. “This is a time for caregivers to stand up and be engaged,” said McIntyre. Self-care When it comes to making sure that caregivers do not suffer from burnout, Maggie Henderson, a MICA director, mental health advocate, with lead responsibility for MICA outreach efforts, said that caregivers should take some solid advice — from flight attendants. When the plane is taxing before takeoff, as the flight safety video plays, passengers are always advised, should the oxygen masks drop, that they should always place their own masks on their face first, before helping anyone else, like a child. “We have to put our mask on as caregivers and practice self-care, before we help anyone (else) in our care,” she said. This will “help you to help others,” she added. “(We need to) look after ourselves as we look after others.” While families who have had to deal with mental illness for many years have developed coping tools that may work for them, families that
have had a new diagnosis and are new to the game may need some help. Even for those families for whom mental illness has been a way of life, “you can teach an old dog new tricks,” Henderson said. A Mental Health Caregiver Guide can be found online at the City of Ottawa’s website at ottawa.ca/mentalhealthcaregiver. It was compiled by Ottawa Public Health, the Canadian Mental Health Association, MICA, the Canadian Public Health Association, and Military Family Services. As Henderson puts it, “these resources are from trusted sources ... It’s not (compiled) by some bureaucrat sitting in an office somewhere who came up with this.” The guide is a resource she wishes she had had when her 17-year-old son was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. “I didn’t know what it was … nobody told me,” she said. “The doctor gave us the diagnosis and sent out the door.” She hopes that, through this guide, “maybe we could avoid some tears, some frustrations.” Social isolation Sandy Macpherson, another MICA director and mental health advocate, who is directing her group’s involvement in the Family Network Project (FNP), said that she is “very happy” that her son, Dan, who was
diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2004, is now making his way in the world today. For the past two years he has lived alone, doing his own laundry and shopping, paying his bills, driving, and cleaning. But even so, as a mother, “I’m afraid he will be isolated.” It’s not unusual for those diagnosed with mental illness to lose friends — “even family members can lose friends.” Friends drift away as illness takes up more time and resources, and the family forms a type of wagon circle around for protection and support. For the mentally ill person, dealing with, say, paranoia, “often, they do not go out at all,” said Macpherson. “They have good and bad days.” McIntyre remembers that for his family, “we had friends. Within three years, we had none.” The FNP, however, hopes to “create a network around (the client),” she said, in which “a genuine circle of support evolves.” The FNP pilot project is working with three families at the moment, devoting 20 hours per month per family. Among the families, “we try to support each other,” with everything from chores to just going out for coffee. MICA itself it hoping to develop a Mental Illness Caregiver Resource Centre, which McIntyre called a “very exciting project,” because “no caregiver should ever feel alone.”

C’est Tout Bakery approved for patio, façade enhancements BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
There is nothing like the wafting aroma of a sweet bakery, and what’s better than enjoying a pastry and a hot tea than on a patio? Coun. Lorraine Allen said she was excited to support the façade improvement with the addition of a patio to C’est Tout Bakery at 14 Beckwith St. S. During the committee of the whole meeting of Smiths Falls council on Monday, June 5, council approved the ask of a $1,500 Community Improvement Plan and sidewalk lease agreement for owner Amy Rensby to update the existing building and add a patio. Together with her own investment,
it’s a $3,000 project, which will include painting of the lower level, installation of new lighting, hanging planters and a sidewalk patio with three or four tables. In her presentation to council, Niki Dwyer, senior planner, noted that both the committee and staff feel strongly that the application is representative of the master plan policies to revitalize Beckwith Street as a vibrant outdoor public main street. To answer a few councillors’ questions, Dwyer reiterated that the application for the sidewalk lease agreement was screened by internal staff to ensure the proposal is safe, doesn’t infringe on existing utility services and complies with the requirements of the applicable bylaws. Council had no problems approving
this application. In a Facebook post following the meeting, C’est Tout Bakery said they were thankful of the approval, and offered thanks to staff for helping the application process. “Mostly, we're going for clean, comfy, classy, and a bit of pretty.” Check out their Facebook page, and watch for updates as they get going on the project on Beckwith Street. Rideau Hotel While council was basking in the aroma of baked goods, they were looking for more information from Andrew Cinnamon, who is seeking a Tax-based Redevelopment Grant for the Rideau Hotel. Cinnamon was seeking $40,000 via
the building, restoration, renovation and improvement program loan, and a taxbased redevelopment grant with an estimated total of $97,745/year for 10 years, for $879,708. There was so much information coming forward in the report, that council asked for a week or so to digest it. (It can be found in its entirety online at www. smithsfalls.ca). Cinnamon wanted a minute to address council, saying he’s factored this funding to his budget. “I think I have some credibility here,” he said. “We’ve built more than 100 homes (that translates to) $400,000 to $500,000 in taxes coming in. We’ve got more to come.” Cinnamon said he was counting on
this funding and had done his research on the funding program prior to purchasing the hotel. "I have a list of people who want to live there, but it’s not full. I believe in this project. I’m already in too deep.” Council decided to hold off on its decision until the next regular committee meeting once they have more information, like the MPAC assessment if that’s a possibility to get before the work on the building has been completed. “We’re not closing the door on you,” said Coun. Dawn Quinn. “We want to make a decision on this as soon as two weeks, if not sooner.” Council was impressed with the work being done at the Rideau Hotel,especially in saving historic pieces.

Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow presents Jackie Staples with the T.O. Ashwell Citizen of the Year Award on May 31 at the Royal Canadian Legion.
Jackie Staples honoured as Smiths Falls Citizen of the Year for 2016 BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
There was a whole lot of storytelling going on to get this year’s Citizen of the Year Award winner to the Smiths Falls Legion on May 31. Jackie Staples stood in shock when Mayor Shawn Pankow announced her as this year’s recipient. Then she fired a look at her husband, Dennis Staples, that could have frozen water, as if to ask, ‘did you know about this?’ Then she smiled. There was a standing ovation, as she made her way to the front of the legion hall to accept the award, named in honour of Dr. T.O. Ashwell. “I had no idea,” she said, as she accepted flowers, and a plaque from the mayor, that she was this year's recipient. “I love Smiths Falls,” Jackie said, her voice breaking with emotion as she tried not to cry. “I had absolutely no idea. They told me Dennis won it. And I told Dennis that Jay (Brennan) won it… I had to make up so many stories.” Jackie said she was honoured to be recognized with so many other great community volunteers – like Marshal Cubitt (2014), Gib Hodge (2013), Glen “Red” Blair (2012), Claude “Butch” Dignard (2011), Pat Smith (2010), Jim Adam (2009), Douglas Kilpatrick (2008), and many others, including her husband in 1988, to the inaugural ceremony in 1969 when Rev. Purdy won the first award. “I thank my family, and always putting up with me and all my running around,” she said. “I don’t know what to say… I really don’t. I love being part of this town and I will continue doing everything I can to make it grow. Thank you so much.”
Dennis Staples, the former mayor of Smiths Falls for two decades, said he couldn’t have been happier for his wife. “It was quite a scam,” he said, in getting Jackie to the event. “She told our children I was getting it for a second time, and around the house the story was that my cousin, Jay Brennan was getting it. She didn’t have a clue. I can’t keep things from her, even my kids didn’t know. It was awesome to see their reaction.” Staples said his wife is “very shy and humble, but the best way to describe her is that she loves Smiths Falls, and she loves getting involved. Both Jackie and I will continue to do that.” In his nomination letter, Smiths Falls Rotary Club president Ken Graham noted that Jackie has been active in the community throughout her life. “Listed are some of the many activities in which she has either spearheaded or participated in organizing,” Graham noted. The list includes ladies’ ball and ringette, and she owned and operated a business in the community called Cracker Jacks. Jackie was an organizer of Old Home Week, Settlers Days, and high school reunions. She raised her children – Dennis Jr. and Tracy – in the community and had them involved in sports and school activities, was a minor hockey executive member, and organized a lot of fundraising golf tournaments. One of her biggest passions is the Smiths Falls hospital auxiliary, where Jackie resurrected the auxiliary and continues to be a key organizer there. She is the current president, runs and manages the gift shop operation including product purchasing, and runs

fter having surgery on my left leg more than a week ago, I’ve been hobbling around; having difficulty getting a couple hundred metres, if I’m lucky. It isn’t until you’re unable to do things, that you really realize the dayto-day struggles of folks who deal with limited mobility all the time. I took pause when I had to craft an email to the town’s deputy clerk two weeks ago, requesting potential help I’d need to get up the stairs leading to the council chambers for council’s Committee of the Whole meeting on June 5 – the only way to get to the council chambers. The town was very helpful, offering me any accommodation they could, including help to get up the stairs. The only apparent public access into the town’s council chambers is by a pretty steep set of stairs – stairs I wasn’t ready to tackle on Monday. Luckily, my colleague and news editor Laurie Weir was up to the task. And while the layout of the town hall has a good layout and flexible seating capable of accommodating those who use wheelchairs and other mobility-assisting devices like canes and walkers, it doesn’t have an elevator – a huge barrier to get to the town’s centre for democracy and the most public of all public spaces. Accessibility of public spaces is improving and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) aims to identify, remove and prevent barriers for people with disabilities. Through the act, the province aims to be fully accessible by 2025. And the town is currently in the process of redeveloping the town square, including the town hall to re-invigorate the landscape and the historic buildings that make up the democratic hub of the town. The redevelopment includes a rework of the town hall’s floor plan, with clear and deliberate focus on improving accessibility of not only the council chambers, but the whole town square. Town councillors have made the point over and over when discussing the redevelopment – accessibility is a priority. Smiths Falls is currently in conversation with an architect who is expected to present a variety of potential plans to council in the coming weeks. But the reality remains, council’s chambers are still out of reach for many in the community facing mobility barriers.

The Spring Fling Running Thing raised $6,500 this year, which was donated to the Smiths Falls Hospital Foundation on June 2. The foundation will use the funds to purchase a patient lift to safely transfer them from bed to chair and back. There were 323 people who took part in this year’s running event. Pictured with the Running Thing are the running event’s organizers with Lise Smith, executive director of the hospital foundation (second from left), including Phillipa Thompson, Pat Gravaline and Jenny Salte. Absent were Sheldon Harris, Jennifer McDonald and Diane Mancrieff of the event organizing committee.
EVELYN HARFORD View From Here Having said all that, I acknowledge my privilege as an able-bodied person who, for the most part, lives life ignorant of many gaps in accessibility around our province’s towns and cities. What does it say to citizens who might want to attend a council meeting in Smiths Falls, but can’t? What does it say to citizens who might want to advocate in the council chambers for the very accessibility issue that limits them from coming in-person to council in the first place, but can’t? What does it say to the folks who don’t even try to engage in town politics because they think, “What’s the point, I can’t even get up to the council chambers?” What about a person with a disability who might have run for town council, but because of mobility issues realized that would be an impossibility? How many valuable voices have been lost? Truth is, we won’t know. Many buildings, like that of Smiths Falls town hall, where the council chambers is located, were built in a time when accessibility for those with disabilities was rarely ever considered, if at all. The symbolism of the town’s council chambers being up high and out of reach (for some) is clear and undeniable. This is not a comment on the current town council or town staff – but a clear symbol and reality of the difficulties faced by people with disabilities caused by a society that didn’t keep them in mind when building its infrastructure. But times they are a changin’. Acknowledging and becoming conscious of others differing ability levels is something we should all be better at, if were not all working towards. Every human being comes in different shapes, sizes and ability levels that make us beautifully unique and with different experiences to share in the body politic. I look forward to seeing the creation of an accessible and more open town hall, complete with a council chamber that all Smiths Falls citizens can access. The town said the council will likely be accessible well before 2025.

Smiths Falls council gets into the fast lane –of coin counting BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
Council solved the problem of a draconian coin roller as they approved the purchase of a new Mach 3 machine. Anything with “Mach” in the name has got to be fast, and such is the way of this new $5,000 machine, which will help with sorting and counting parking meter coins – and can be used across other departments. “This is out of budget so I need approval,” said Nadine Bennett, the deputy clerk, during a committee of the whole meeting of Smiths Falls town council on Monday, June 5. “Every two weeks, the parking enforcement officers collect coin from the meters in the downtown and the pay and display machine in the municipal parking lot,” she wrote in her report. “The coin is then counted and processed for deposit at the bank. The archaic coin counting and rolling machine is no longer functioning and cannot be repaired,” Bennett said. She added that local financial institutions no longer provide a coin counting service. Staff received two quotes for the Mach 3 – which is preferred by the Frontenac Law Enforcement – and a third from Staples, which was not effective for the town’s needs. “The parking officers have confirmed that they will be able to
collect and process all of the coin in one day with the use of the Mach 3.” Coun. Chris Cummings was all about the new machine, and said he understood the reasoning for a faster process. He supported it fully, as did the rest of council. Bennett said she’s optimistic that the increased revenue from the parking meters will help offset the cost of the new machine. Parking/No parking On the parking note, Coun. John Maloney asked if there was still a grace period of 10 minutes for an expired meter. Clerk Kerry Costello said the 10-minute warning was not incorporated into the bylaw. “The 10-minute warning isn’t something (bylaw enforcement) has been doing every day,” she said. “It takes more time to do the 10-minute warning then come back around to issue a ticket – it takes away from bylaw enforcement.” It’s been a bit of a tight rope walk between bylaw and parking enforcement, Costello said. “But they have been doing the 10-minute warning, but it hasn’t been consistent. We are trying to do the most with the time we have (with the enforcement officers).” If council wishes to keep the warning, Costello recommended they add it to the current bylaw. “As it is right now, it’s not in the bylaw.”
Maloney said it’s confusing to people to have a warning in the morning, and not in the afternoon. “Either way, it’s important we’re consistent in the message,” Maloney said. Coun. Jay Brennan said he has heard the opposite from people. “They wonder if we’re giving out tickets.” People park all day in some spots without a ticket, he said. CAO Malcolm Morris said they needed to have a discussion on the genesis of the situation. “As a welcome to Smiths Falls, it was a form of ambassador program at one point,” he said. “Some places only do this in the summer time,” Morris continued. “Do we want this 12 months of the year or just the summer? It’s something to think about it and have a discussion about.” Morris wondered if they couldn’t run the plates, when Maloney asked how they could tell if the cars illegally parked were visitors or residents. Costello said they didn’t have that type of technology. “I always thought the 10-minute warning was very heart-warming,” said Maloney. Cumming added that it used to be a 20-minute warning, and was meant to be used as a grace period for those conducting business. Coun. Lorraine Allen said she’d take this matter to the Downtown Business Association for further discussion.

Very special thanks to the Staff of Rosebridge Manor for the great care you provided Aunt Margaret in the last fifteen months of her 107 years, (always with dignity and respect to her). Last but not least to Scott and all his Staff at Blair & Son Funeral Home for their help with the funeral. Scott…we cannot express our thanks enough for all that you did for us. Your words and personal touches at Aunt Margaret’s funeral were most befitting to her. Your inclusion of the Blue Jays Song (she was a big fan of the team), along with the nurses prayer and the Canadian flag with respect to her service in the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corp, (Nursing Sister) would have meant so much to her.

MOLYNEAUX – In memory of my Best Friend Karen Molyneaux who passed away June 14, 2015 with her husband Mike. Karen, I know I will never find a friend like you again in my lifetime. We had more fun than a barrel of monkeys. God took the wrong woman. It should have been me. You loved life so much, biking, boating, knitting and working steady. But when Saturday came we were off shopping. We never knew what town or city we would end up in. Come Sunday we saved them for our husbands. We took so many trips together. I have tons of memories that I will never forget. You were My FRIEND, My SISTER and My CONFIDENT. R.I.P. Dear friend. Till we meet again. Love Andie (Joanne) BIG Hugs To Both

Father’s Day Lanark County gift basket awaits one lucky dad Given that Father’s Day normally elicits the question, “what to get for the man who already has everything,” a group of Lanark County businesses have put together something no father could resist. The gift is a basket of goodies that speak to all of the senses, a collection of “made in Lanark County” coffee, chocolate, maple syrup products, fudge, a sundae, a blanket, a history book, a tracking ruler and a food tour. If this isn't enough, the basket also includes free beer, theatre tickets, a spa visit and a bed and breakfast discount for Dad and his guest, and a local train ride for the whole family. Even the gift basket itself has its roots in Lanark County, and will include a cycling map, courtesy of the Lanark County Tourism Association, to help the lucky winner find his way to all the great prizes. Entering to win this massive collection of gifts is as simple as clicking a computer mouse. To have a chance at winning the draw (which can be entered by dads or those giving gifts to dad), entrants need only like the Facebook pages of participating businesses and leave a comment. The draw will take place on the Friday before Father’s Day, and the winner’s name will be posted on each of the participating businesses’ Facebook pages. The initiative is a followup activity to the Ignite Lanark gathering, held in April, where tourism operators discussed different strategies for activating the potential for experiential travel. The winner’s basket includes a two-hour spa visit for two from Circa 1894 Day Spa, which features the hot tubs, the Finnish and the FAR Infrared Saunas, along with quiet time on three levels of decking — https://www. facebook.com/circa1894Spa/. There’s also free beer to be enjoyed at Cartwright Springs Brewery. Fathers needn’t win the grand prize to nonetheless be treated to a tasting of all six beers they have on tap — https://www.facebook.com/CartwrightSpringsBrewery/. Also included are a Lanark County original tracking ruler from Wilderness Rhythms (https://www.facebook.com/ChadCliffordWildernessRhythms/): designed and made right in the area, as well as a ticket to a food tour of the winner’s choice from the Good Food Tour, offering walking food and cultural tours highlighting mouth-watering experiences and a slice of history. It’s an opportunity to see, smell, and taste what shapes Almonte, from its food to art, history, and culture — https://www.facebook. com/thegoodfoodtour/. Other prizes include: “Timewise Carleton Place … Our Town, a Glance Back,” from Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage MuseSee FATHER’S DAY page 31

fundraising efforts, like Toonie Night, the golf tournament and gladiola sales. She’s been a part of the Canada Day celebrations for the town for more than 20 years, has promoted many local and area events through the Record News/EMC where she worked for many years; partnered with countless local organizations for events and activities. “You can see Jackie is a more-than-worthy, deserving candidate for Citizen of the Year. She loves her town,” Graham wrote, “and supports it at every opportunity.” The Citizen of the Year banquet is hosted by alternating service clubs over the years, with the Smiths Falls Rotary Club hosting this year’s event. “Proceeds from tonight will be about $2,000,” said Brennan, a Rotarian and Smiths Falls councilor. “That will go to the victims of the Pearl Street fire.” The legion Ladies’ Auxiliary fed the 86 members of the community in attendance for the event. Guest speaks of Canopy Growth Corp.
Bruce Linton, chair and CEO of Canopy Growth Corporation (Tweed), was the guest speaker for the evening. He spoke about the company, its products, growth, and development, and said he was grateful be be headquartered in Smiths Falls. Always hiring, Linton said there are currently 45 positions available at the medical cannabis factory. “We want as many young people in these positions as we can get,” he said. “These are sustainable positions, and we want them to live here in Smiths Falls and buy locally.” That got a hearty round of applause. He also offered the service clubs a cash incentive to get young people involved in their organizations. “I could see giving $150 to $250 for a new member’s active participation in the club,” he said, adding we need to see an influx of youth in today’s service clubs to help sustain them and the good work they do in the community. Linton also reached out to those present to talk to him about sponsorship to boost businesses opportunities in
town. “We want people to stay and live and shop in Smiths Falls,” he said. “That will benefit all of us.” Linton said the Canopy Growth Corporation is an internationally-known company with products that he said he hopes may one day eliminate the need for opioids, as people transition from their prescription drugs to medicinal marijuana. He added that drug companies are “getting nervous” about that possibility. “We are known around the globe, and our headquarters are in Smiths Falls,” he said, as he spoke of rapid growth of the company, and plans for the future, which he said if they were to come full circle, they will soon offer cannabis in chocolate, to be sold at the old Hershey plant. “I can see that coming full circle,” he said. “I can also see us applying for a permit for another 250,000-square feet of space.” Currently, the entire space at 1 Hershey Dr. is being renovated to accommodate new growth. “We’re happy to be here,” Linton said. “And we thank you for welcoming us.”

Action-packed Father’s Day weekend for Smiths Falls in 2017 Father’s Day weekend, June 17 and 18, is going to be the perfect time to get out and enjoy some fresh air while celebrating the best that Smiths Falls has to offer. Organizers of the annual Healthy Living Festival and Rideau Paddlefest have teamed up in a perfect partnership aimed at encouraging people to enjoy fun and healthy activities. There will be plenty of entertainment options that weekend, including a free outdoor concert at Lower Reach Park from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 17, featuring the British Invasion show band. Healthy Living Festival cochair and town Coun. Lorraine Allen said the festival will offer “a full day of fun activities,” from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 17. The festival is in its sixth year, and organizers continue their efforts to provide a day of free family-oriented activities centred in downtown Smiths Falls. One goal of the festival, said Allen, is “to promote the fact that Smiths Falls has become a healthy environment,” given the number of gyms and volunteerrun sporting events available to residents. Festival highlights this year will include acrobatic demon-
strations by Aerial Antics, a 24foot rock wall, a three-on-three basketball tournament, and the opportunity to zip line down Beckwith Street. The Live Love Lift bench press competition is back for another year, with two competitors planning to set new records. Local health promotion agencies are being encouraged to participate in the Healthy Living Festival. Organizers are hoping to have a “giant inflatable colon” so spectators can learn about colon cancer and how to prevent it. Following the Healthy Living festival on the evening of June 17 is a three-hour free show at Lower Reach by the British Invasion. The three-piece British Invasion show band will present music by British artists including The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Eric Clapton, Gerry and The Pacemakers, and many more. “It’s not just a concert, it’s an experience,” said drummer Gord Logan. “Audience participation is very important to us.” The band also features experienced musicians Phil Morotti on vocals and lead guitar, and Chris Must on bass and vocals. Get ready for the fourth annual edition of Rideau Paddle-
fest on Sunday, June 18, Father’s Day, a day of voyageur canoe racing at Lower Reach Park. Since Paddlefest began in 2013, said volunteer committee co-chair Peter Au, “It has become bigger and better.” In 2017 Paddlefest will help celebrate Father’s Day with a special father and child canoe race to be held at noon. This year’s festival will be “a family-friendly, fun event,” said Au. Once again the event will offer a full range of educational exhibits, including collections from the Canadian Museum of Nature and the Canadian Canoe Museum. Paddlefest will also feature living music by the Voyageur Singers at 10:30 a.m., Bytown Bluegrass at noon, the Canada 150 Youth Choir at 1:15 p.m., and fiddler Peter Dawson at 2:30 p.m. Back for a second year is accomplished paddler Becky Mason, who will be presenting her “canoe ballet,” a demonstration of precision paddling techniques. Mason will also provide a demonstration during the Healthy Living Festival. Submitted on behalf of the Healthy Living Festival, Rideau Paddlefest, and the British Invasion

Canadian hero, Robert Pearson, lands at Lombardy Public School BY EVELYN HARFORD
eharford@metroland.com
It’s not every day you get to meet a Canadian hero. But for 12-year-old Zachary Allan, a Grade 7 student at Lombardy Public School, it happened. Capt. Robert Pearson, who brought an Air Canada 767 Flight 143 – later named the “Gimli Glider” – to the ground with no casualties after both the plane’s engines failed, leapt off Allan’s Bristol board project and into his school on May 25. Allan had chosen to profile Pearson for a project that was displayed at the Historical Fair held in Perth on May 11. Allan wanted to showcase the pilot's heroic story and thought it needed to be highlighted. “I thought it showed we can trust our pilots,” he said. Ann McMahon, one of the workshop leaders, knew the family of the Gimli Glider pilot and made arrangements for the pilot to speak to the student. Eleanor Kaarsberg, Pearson’s sister, lives in Perth and helped to get her heroic brother to the Lombardy School in co-ordination with Kevin Pankow, the Lombardy Public School teacher, who accompanied Allan to the fair in Perth. Pearson made the journey from his home near Cornwall to speak with Allan in front of an audience of students, teachers and parents. Before the interview, Allan was thrilled.
“I’m very excited,” he said. “He’s a hero.” Allan had prepared a number of questions to ask the man that he’d been researching for a number of weeks. The two covered a lot of ground; talking about everything from how Pearson became a pilot to what he was thinking the moment both engines failed on the Air Canada 767 Flight 143 en route to Edmonton from Montreal over 30 years ago, on July 23, 1983. “It was tunnel vision,” recalled Capt. Pearson of the frightening experience. “It was the only time that I had cold, robotic feeling – I was just functioning.” Pearson said he and his co-pilot Maurice Quintal knew something was wrong over Red Lake, Ont. Due to a fuel measurement error the plane was rapidly running out of fuel half way through their trip. One engine went out, followed by the second engine over 10,000 metres in the sky. Capt. Pearson said it was at that point he said, “Ok, we have a mayday situation.” The pilots ended up making a quick decision to land on a runway in Gimli, Man. when they realized their planned diversion to Winnipeg wouldn't be possible. However, the runway at Gimli had become a drag racing strip – complete with spectators that would end up watching the heroic landing. The plane was falling thousands of feet per minute and travelling hundreds of kilometres an hour.

Canadian hero Capt. Robert Pearson stands with Grade 7 Lombardy Public School student, Zachary Allan, who he visited after Allan profiled him in a school project. But lucky for those on board, Pearson was trained as a glider pilot. Pearson said he navigated the plane to the ground with no engines, gliding with Second World War instruments. “I was unaware of anything else aside from our speed and the piece of concrete we were going to land on,” he said. “I put it into a side-slip about six miles from the runway.” Letting gravity open the landing gear, Capt. Pearson and his co-pilot landed. The cockpit filled with smoke and the two men got out alive, along
with all of the passengers on board the flight. Allan asked if it felt good to save the lives of those on board. “We’re trained, that’s our job,” said Capt. Pearson matter-of-factly. “That’s the captain’s responsibility,” he said. “You think about it every time you go.” Allan also pressed the now retired pilot about how his experience at the reigns of the Gimli Glider all those years ago. “We don’t always realize how these things affect you,” said Capt. Pear-
son. “The grass was greener; the sky was bluer. It changes you.” And he said, “There's nothing that can happen that I can’t handle.” Young Allan, enamoured by the Canadian hero, said after learning about the Gimli Glider and meeting Capt. Pearson, he may consider a career as a pilot in the future. Lombardy Public School's principal, David Morrison, said any time students get to take learning off the page, it's a good thing. And Capt. Pearson's interview with Allan was no exception.

Town sells truck to Smiths Falls Flying Club for just a buck and repair costs associated with the 27-year-old truck. “It looks like it belongs in a museum,” said Troy Dunlop, the director of public works and utilities for the Town of Smiths Falls, of the airport’s 1990 truck considered to be operating well beyond its useful service life. The decision to get rid of the town’s 2002 Ford Sterling came out of a recommendation from a Survive Sustainability Review done on Smiths Falls’ winter control operations by Dunlop last year. The town’s report presented by Dunlop at Smiths Falls council’s Committee of the Whole on Tuesday, May 23, indicated that the 2002 Ford Sterling was not considered critical to winter operations locally and was often
BY EVELYN HARFORD
eharford@metroland.com
Nowadays it’s hard to get anything for a dollar. But the Smiths Falls Flying Club is getting a new (used) truck from the Town of Smiths Falls for that very sum. In a gesture of goodwill, the Town of Smith Falls is parting with their 2002 Ford Sterling plow truck and transferring its ownership to the Smiths Falls Flying Club to be used for winter maintenance at the Russ Beach — Smiths Falls Montague Airport. The town’s 2002 truck will replace the current vehicle used at the airport, a 1990 Ford plow truck, that the Smiths Falls Flying Club faced challenges with due to the rising maintenance
kept in storage during most of the summer months. The recommendation was part of the Department of Public Works and Utilities’ plan to move toward having the two other International trucks fully fitted with plow, wing and sander. According to Dunlop’s report, under this arrangement, both trucks would then be able to complete all clearing functions in one pass. By removing the 2002 Ford from the town’s fleet of vehicles, Smiths Falls will save $8,800 in operating costs and an additional $110,000 in capital costs with the avoidance of a planned replacement of the unit in 2020.

Walk a Beat for Adrianna takes to the streets of Smiths Falls BY LAURIE WEIR
Three dozen people came out to participate in the Walk for Adrianna June 3. Adrianna Foster, right, with mom Arlene, has been struggling with heart failure over the past few months.
ljweir@metroland.com
There were about three dozen people walking a beat for Adrianna Foster, a Lanark County teen who has been struggling with her heart over the past few months. She attends Willis College, Smiths Falls campus, where on Saturday, staff and students gathered for a fundraising effort for the personable teenager who is enrolled in the medical office administration course. She’s a graduate of Perth and District Collegiate Institute. Adrianna, 19, of Balderson had a heart transplant at age two and a half, after having to undergo four surgeries. Currently she's fighting off antibodies that are causing heart failure. “I love it here,” she said of Willis College, just prior to the kick-off of the Walk a Beat for Adrianna, a 5km event throughout Smiths Falls. “It works because I find the learning style works for me. The smaller classroom is better for me,” she said. She’s currently not on a waiting list for a second heart transplant, though, as her doctor want her to get stronger, and to fight the antibodies that have invaded her bloodstream. “The doctors want me to do some cardio to build up my heart,” she said. “I start on June 23 at cardio-rehab in Ottawa, two days a week for eight weeks.” Adrianna had heart failure in the spring which did a lot of damage, so

the workout regime is hoped to make it stronger. “Some of it has come back,” she said. “It’s just not working as well as it should.” She said she got a Fitbit for Christmas, and around the end of January her heart rate was creeping higher and higher. “I just figured it was due to stress,” Adrianna said. “I’m just tired out. I am in school and work on the weekends, so I don’t really have a lot of down time. Then I started getting bad pains in my stomach and went to work and I still wasn’t feeling 100 per cent.” A quick trip to the Perth hospital’s emergency room resulted in an even faster trip into ICU for three days. “That happened in March,” Adrianna said. “I was waiting for a bed in Ottawa to the heart institute.”

“They were worried about antibody mediated rejection,” said her mother, Arlene. “They’re like cancer treatments to get rid of these antibodies. Her heart just started slowly losing function so they had to get her on an Impella (heart pump) – up through her groin into her heart into the left side of her heart to suck the blood out of it to give it a break,” her mom explained. “She was on the Impella, which is a life saving device, for seven days. She got rid of the breathing machine after eight days, then went into treatment.” Donor plasma helped save her life, her mom said, even more reason to donate blood. “She needed five treatments,” Arlene said, who is a personal support worker at the Perth Community Care Centre. Adrianna is an only child – but has a lot of family in the area, and into West-
port, where she works at Ellie’s grill. “It’s amazing how the community has come together to help us,” Arlene said. Adrianna has a positive outlook, but admits she misses some of the independence she had before the setback. “I’m feeling about the same as when I was in the hospital, but at least I’m home,” she said. “I can do a little bit more. I get tired out easily. I take a lot of naps. I’m so use to driving my car and being out on my own.” Arlene says her daughter is not on the transplant list yet, as the doctors want to see if she can recover more, which includes this new cardio regime she’s about to embark upon. “There is no sense in getting a new heart until these antibodies are under control, because they will attack a new heart,” Arlene said. “She’s just got to get stronger – she’s had a huge trauma when she went into heart failure.” Adrianna was born with congenital heart defect, and had surgery at two days, 11 days, and then rushed to Toronto at three weeks of age for her third surgery. At eight months, Adrianna had her fourth surgery – also in Toronto, and then she went on the waiting list for a heart, which she received two years later. “It’s not going to be an easy transplant this time around, because she has been opened up so many times,” Arlene said. “She’s tiny, so it’s going to be tough. When things change, they can get her on the list, but they’re going to wait and see how far this heart will go.”
Fundraiser April Flegg, admissions consultant and placement coordinator at Willis College where Adrianna attends post secondary school. “It hit home,” said Flegg, who organized a 5km walk to benefit Adrianna. “My grandfather had a triple bypass in 2001, so when I heard her story, I wanted to do something. We have a goal of $3,000,” Flegg said, who had the support of Ann Knowlton, the regional campus manager, for the event. “We like to give back to the community. When we reach $3,000 the campus will add $500.” The event raised $3,542 for the family. Flegg said she met with Adrianna and Arlene prior to admission, and told the Fosters that the college could work with Adrianna with her medical needs. “We’re really accommodating,” Flegg said. “If people come to us to discuss what they’re needs are, it’s great. We are a small campus, and have about 100 students a year. I think that’s why we’re such a great college. We’re all a family at the end of the year, when we start as strangers.” Flegg said she was definitely impressed with the turnout of participants. The Walk a Beat for Adrianna Foster fundraiser was hosted by Flegg and Annette Walker ( current Medical Office Administrator with Ward Clerk Specialist students at the Smiths Falls campus); Sharon Schwartz and Val Wilkinson participated in the registration.

Smiths Falls will be alive this weekend with Spirit of the Drum powwow The town of Smiths Falls will be alive with Indigenous culture on Saturday, June 10 and Sunday, June 11, when the municipality and Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute’s (SFDCI) Indigenous Studies Program partners with the Mohawks of Akwesasne First Nations and Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nations to host the Spirit of the Drum Traditional Powwow. The powwow is the first event of its kind in the Town of Smiths Falls, and will feature traditional indigenous song, dance, and drumming by the Bear Nation from Pikwàkanagàn First Nations, Akwesasne Water Drum, and Red Tail Spirit Singers. A full day of activities is planned on Duck Island and Turtle Island, running from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. The Grand Entry ceremony will take place at 12 noon, both Saturday and Sunday, and there will be traditional food and craft vendors on-site both days. SFDCI hospitality students will prepare and serve a bison feast to the First Nations powwow participants on Saturday, and there will be a community barbecue hosted by the Smiths Falls
Firefighters Association at the same time, with free samples of bison meat for the public. First come, first served! The two-day event is free to attend, and veterans, indigenous peoples and the public are welcome. Traditional dancers will be the highlight of the event. The head male and female dancers are Awema Tendesi from Kitigan Zibi and Josee Bourgeous from Pikwàkanagàn First Nation. The event is funded in part by the Government of Canada, and was developed by the Indigenous Studies program with the objective of educating and sharing First Nations culture with youth and the community. Training will also be provided to members of the Town of Smiths Falls council as part of the initiative. Ingrid Bron, economic development and tourism coordinator for the Town of Smiths Falls, explained that SFDCI Indigenous Studies students, under teacher Paul Merredew’s tutelage, were pleased to take on the task of assisting the Mohawks of Akwesasne First Nation and Pikwàkanagàn First Nation with the task of organizing a traditional powwow. The project, which has
Dentistry @ Smiths Falls where relaxation meets care
taken months to complete, will come alive this weekend on Duck Island and Turtle Island, in Smiths Falls. Bron said while the event will offer a fun and interesting weekend perfect for the whole family, the purpose behind it was initially centered on educating the community, and in particular youth. According to Bron, reconciliation and youth are two important themes the municipality focused on with their Canada 150 Signature Events, by enabling Indigenous Studies students and Indigenous youth in the community to tell their own story about the history of Canada. “Many students and com-
munity residents in Smiths Falls share First Nations’ heritage, and we wanted to provide our Indigenous youth and the public with the opportunity to experience indigenous culture. The powwow is completely open to the public, and will be a fun and interactive way to celebrate and recognize Indigenous culture in our country,” Bron explained. SFDCI students have stated the purpose of the powwow “is to bring people together; to connect the school with the community; and to share, teach, and celebrate Indigenous culture and traditions. SFDCI is within the Upper Canada District School Board spanning the traditional
territories of the Algonquin and the Mohawk Nations.” Bryce McKenney will be one of four SFDCI students from the Indigenous Studies program who will be Keepers of the Sacred Flame throughout the weekend. Other students who will be Keepers of the Sacred Flame include A.J. Gunner, Skylar Findley, and Bailey Bisaillon. McKenney is a member of the Mohawk Akwesasne First Nations, and said he wanted to participate in the event in order to learn more about his Indigenous culture. This will be his first Pow Wow. Merredew explained that
SFDCI students were excited to be part of a traditional powwow that will highlight so many aspects of indigenous culture. “These students stepped up to be involved with Indigenous youth leadership, and to engage the community,” Merredew said. The event takes place on Duck Island and Turtle Island in Smiths Falls, with parking available in the RCAF parking lot off Abbott Street, at Detached Lock, or on Park Avenue at the beach area.

Doef prepares for new hockey role as student coach/manager Princeton – Fogarty was quoted as saying he’s looking forward to working with Neil, who will play a role of student manager/coach. “I’m amazed with Neil’s strength and determination to defy all odds. I look forward to having him as part of
BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
Neil Doef is preparing for a new role with a hockey team this fall, as he heads to Princeton University in New Jersey to start his post secondary journey on a different playing field. The Ivy League school is honoring its scholarship commitment to Doef, 20 of Smiths Falls, after a spinal cord injury ended his hockey playing days in 2014. He was the leading scorer for CCHL's Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears, was a top prospect for the NHL watch list, and had participated in the World Jr. A Challenge as a member of Team Canada East’s U18 team that same year. But it was in that tournament when Doef was injured in an on-ice collision that left him paralyzed, and unable for walk for a number of months. Through strenuous rehabilitation, and a grinding work ethic, the aspiring academic was able to get much of his mobility back. Princeton announced May 31 on its website that Doef is part of the class of 2021: "The Class of 2021 is a group that has a tremendous amount of drive and determination. We believe the group will transition to Princeton and embrace their roles within the team immediately. We look forward to working with them in reaching their academic and athletic goals." Doef’s mother, Bobbi-Jean, said
our program.” Bobbi-Jean said that is “definitely possible that this is a role he will play with the team, but discussions are still taking place to confirm all the details.” Doef has kept up with his studies at the University of Ottawa, and has
completed some courses in the Human Kinetics program. “They went above and beyond to meet all of his accommodation needs,” she said, of the University of Ottawa. The family said they are looking forward to this next chapter.

The meeting dates are as follows:
Neil is doing great, “and is excited to attend Princeton this fall. “He is in constant communication with the men's hockey coach, Ron Fogarty, and they are still working out the details as to the exact role that Neil will play with the team. Neil is still using his walking pole, and the Bioness Unit for mobility. He continues to work hard at physio twice a week at Smiths Falls Physiotherapy,” she said in an online exchange with Metroland Media. Neil will enroll in general studies, as he is still undecided which direction he will take. His strengths are “definitely in math and science,” Bobbi-Jean said, who added the family is now completing all the living arrangements while Neil will attend Princeton.

Smiths Falls Settlers junior hockey team coming to town BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
They played as the Glengarry Highlanders last year in the Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League (CPJHL). But this year, they will be rebranded as the Smiths Falls Settlers and play out of the Memorial Community Centre, with Saturdays as their home game night. “It’s pretty exciting news for Smiths Falls,” said Barry DeGray, a Smiths Falls hockey guy with former ties to the CCHL’s Jr. A Bears hockey club. DeGray is part owner of the Settlers and will be one of the assistant coaches for the Settlers. He will also be looking after the player development requirements for the Settlers organization. DeGray was a player and a captain of the Bears back in the 1980s, and then about 20 years later, he came back as an owner (small part), assistant general manager and head coach. “I think I am about the only guy who has played every role on that
team that you will find,” he said. “I am a Bear through and through, but the opportunity came up to bring this Settlers Junior team to town,” and they’re doing that this fall. The 10 teams in the CPJHL hail from Coburg, Bracebridge, Coldwater, Creemore, Essa, Grey Highlands, Madawaska, Muskoka, Seaforth and Barrie’s Bay. “We’re not in competition with the Bears,” DeGray said. “It’s a different league all together with different recruiting regulations which allows us to reach into the European market if
required. It’s not an outlaw league as some people think. There is a governing body called the AAU.” Owned and operated by Frank and Michelle Morris, the Glengarry Highlanders found success in its inaugural season going 23-19-1-5. A highlight was winning the inaugural CPJHL 2017 Showcase in Michigan. This showcased many players on the team for the scouts in attendance. GM and head coach Morris said on their website that he is thrilled about the move to Smiths Falls. "Everyone at the Settlers organization is very excited about the new season. We are all looking forward to representing the community of Smiths Falls which is a real hockey town." DeGray, who is a skating instructor with the Power Edge Pro Program, said he is thrilled to be part of this organization, and will be helping to promote a summer PEP Camp Aug. 21 to 25. The camp is currently open for registration for young athletes from ages six (novice) to 16 (midget level), and capped out at 60 participants.
DeGray anticipates it to sell out like it has in years. Joe Quinn, owner of Power Edge Pro, started the company back in the early 2000s, which has grown across Canada, the United States and Europe, DeGray noted. At the end of the camp week on Friday Aug. 25, DeGray together with EnvisionGroup and the NHL Alumni, are hosting a special seminar to be held in Smiths Falls. DeGray is working with EnvisionGroup, owned by Pat Lipovski, (whom he met while working with the Nashville Predators in 2012 in Nashville), a motivational speaker, who has ties with the Calgary Flames, Nashville, Edmonton and Fortune 500 companies. “It’s been four years in the making, where finally it’s clicked together. Pat has called me and part of my aspirations is to be involved in speaking and this is a door that’s opened for me. So Aug. 25, during the hockey school, we’ve put together a conference, working with the NHL alumni — Brian Schrudland (Canadiens), among up
to half-dozen other alumni.” This has been greatly support by the NHL alumni, DeGray said, “and as we’re confirming, we’ve got people from Toronto, Montreal, Pittsburg, etc. And they’re already booked. This conference is geared for parents of elite athletes but anyone is welcome, in learning how to manage the expectations through all the different components of being a professional hockey player — i.e. food, school, workouts, games, emotions, everything. It’s for the parents, and how to help their kids. This is what it’s really all about.” It will be held in the upstairs hall at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Aug. 25. The cost is $599 for the day, which includes the workshop and a catered meal by the Iron Kettle of Smiths Falls (located at the Gallipeau Centre). “What would parents pay to be in front of four or six guys who have played in the NHL, and they’re telling you how to have your young men See SETTLERS page SF19

women develop mentally and mature wise to get the most out of what they’re doing? What do parents do — they go to a player agent, and they do what they recommend, because most parents have no idea what to do. So this is a great platform to inform parents how to develop their young athletes.” DeGray says some of his clients think at a different level due to expectations, and this is a great way to start that conversation. “Get some positive information and go in the right direction,” he said. “You’re going to spend $5,000 to $8,000 on registration for double-A, triple-A … back in the ’80s, my parents spent $12,000 in one season. So spending $599 is a small price to pay to get educated on the opportunities that will open up for a young athlete. “There are parents in Chicago and Detroit, they’re paying $15,000 or more for registration. So at what point do parents say, ‘I’ve got to spend some money on myself to help my young athlete, because I really don’t know what I’m doing.’” This is where the EnvisionGroup and the NHL Alumni have teamed up to help those parents get the upper edge in the development process. “I’m coming on board with EnvisionGroup, and will be doing one or two of these a year,” he said. At the end of the week, there will
be $1,000 worth of gifts and awards given out to the camp participants. Awards include hardest worker, most improved, most valuable athlete, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the best athlete on the ice. “We are planning to have the awards be given out by the NHL alumni, which will be cool. There will be items like a McDavid Dangler, composite hockey sticks and ball caps. We want them to have the best experience on and off the ice,” he said. “Everybody votes on the awards — the cooking staff, the coaches. Giving as much value is key!” It’s open to athletes from all over, including Sudbury, northern New York state, Ottawa, along the St. Lawrence Seaway. “We’re going to give the hockey school parents the first right of refusal, but this conference will be capped at 50 — it’s opened up across Canada, and we already have people coming from Toronto.” For more information or register for the Hockey Camp, please go to: www. smithsfallslightning.com To register for the conference you can call, Lipovski, at (403) 539-0823.
