Lanark County sets tax rates, ratios and reductions at latest meeting

2016 auditor’s statement presented Following a presentation by Howard Allan of Allan and Partners LLP Chartered Professional Accountants at the corporate services committee of the whole meeting earlier this month, the 2016 audited financial statements were accepted as information. “Overall, the county is in good hands,” Allan said. “There has been a respect for the budget and a respect for spending money.” He noted a surplus was generated, adding that almost $8 million was spent, “but even with the monies spent, you increased your financial assets by $2.4 million. You increased reserves and paid down debt.” Allan concluded that “the financial management at the county has been strong.” Councillors thanked staff for their work during the audit process.

local plans, and to ensure consistency with the provincial policy statement. The modifications include clarifying how confirmed ANSIs will be designated on the plan and modifying ANSI policies within the SCOP related to development. Development may be permitted in accordance with the policies of the underlying land-use designation, or on adjacent lands if an environmental impact study shows there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or ecological functions. The amendment specifies which schedules will be removed and how ANSI designations will be shown. The modifications are considered technical corrections for clarification purposes, which do not require additional public consultation. County opposes proposed WSIB change Council has passed a motion directing warden Bill Dobson (Montague reeve) to write a letter to Premier Kathleen Wynne, MPP John Fraser and MPP Randy Hillier demanding that municipalities retain the right to be a Schedule 2 Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) employer for its long-term care operations. This comes in light of tabled legislation, Bill 145: WSIB Coverage for Workers in Residential Care Facilities and Group Homes Act. Under current legislation municipalities have the right to be WSIB Schedule 2 employers if they elect to do so, which means they can be self-insured. “Being self-insured under Schedule 2, municipalities and their employees have an enormous incentive to create a safe workplace,” the motion states. The tabled legislation would force municipalities to be Schedule 1 WSIB employers for long-term care, paying premiums into an insurance fund, which would cost Lanark County taxpayers at least $225,000 more per year. The letter is to be copied to the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus. Support for Vital Signs project Councillors expressed support for the Perth and District Community Foundation’s (PDCF) Vital Sign Program following a presentation by pastpresident Deborah Duffy at the community services committee meeting earlier this month. The project is designed to “celebrate life in Lanark County, measure community well-being and identify areas for improvement.” Information gathered will help community leaders to work together to address areas of greatest need, and it will help the foundation to set funding priorities for its catchment area. Vital Signs is a national program co-ordinated by Community Foundations of Canada and delivered locally by PDCF and its partners. The survey can be found at www.pdcf.ca.

County addresses ANSIs Following a presentation by Brian Whitehead of Jp2g Consultants Inc., council has passed a motion to modify Amendment No. 5 of the Lanark County Sustainable Communities Official Plan (SCOP), which pertains to areas of natural and scientific interest (ANSI). Since the SCOP was approved by the province in 2012, it was identified that technical corrections were needed to the ANSI policies and mapping in the plan. Official Plan Amendment No. 5 Pledging support for expanded broadis designed to establish how ANSIs will band be protected through the SCOP and Council passed a motion supporting

the submission of the Eastern Ontario Regional Cellular Mobile Broadband Project as the region’s highest economic development priority. It is also pledging to partner with the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus (EOWC), Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN), provincial and federal governments, and the private sector to improve mobile broadband access and services in eastern Ontario. The motion states the county will make a financial contribution once the full extent of the project is determined by the federal and provincial governments. Revitalization of the regional economy has been a primary objective of the EOWC, with improved mobile broadband and cellular networks highlighted as a critical need across many sectors. The EOWC and EORN have undertaken a detailed and comprehensive engineering analysis of the gaps in cellular coverage and capacity across the region, and have found significant gaps in coverage and capacity that affect public safety, economic growth and quality of life. EORN, on behalf of the EOWC, has prepared a full business case to support improvement and expansion of the services across eastern Ontario. As well, the establishment of a Public Safety Broadcast Network for first responders is a national imperative, and EORN is proposing a pilot project covering eastern Ontario to support a national network. “EOWC has proven itself capable of designing, building and delivering a major telecommunications project on behalf of the businesses and citizens of eastern Ontario, Ontario and Canada,” the motion states. Council is also requesting MP Scott Reid and MPPs Randy Hillier and Jack MacLaren work closely with the partners on this project. Agreements related to trail property Council passed a series of motions authorizing agreements related to work being completed on portions of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT) in Lanark County (the former CP Rail Corridor). One is with Thoburn Mill Condominiums in Almonte, which provides permission for them to landscape the sideline of the trail that abuts the condominium property. Another motion authorizes the Town of Carleton Place to proceed with drainage work on the OVRT property owned by the county in the area of Lansdowne Avenue. A third agreement authorizes Mississippi Mills to remove a chain-link fence between the trail property and the property owned by the town near Bridge and Reserve streets. Upcoming meetings No meetings in July. County council, Wednesday, Aug. 9 at 5 p.m.; community services, Wednesday, Aug. 9 (following county council); corporate services, Wednesday, Aug. 9 (following

community services). County council, Wednesday, Aug. 23 at 5 p.m.; economic development, Wednesday, Aug. 23 (following county council); public works, Wednesday, Aug. 23 (following economic development).

The following are highlights from the regular session of Lanark County council held June 28 at the administration building in Perth. Council approved bylaws to set tax ratios, rate reductions and tax rate levies to municipalities for 2017 following a presentation by chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves earlier this month. The $32.5 million budget was approved in December. Council then sets tax ratios, which distribute taxes between the various classes (e.g. industrial, commercial, residential). Greaves indicated some changes have been implemented by the Ministry of Finance: a change for multi-residential apartment buildings that limits tax increases on these properties to zero; a new tax class, “new multi-residential,” for properties built after April 2017; and a tax ratio class for landfill sites, including municipally owned sites. New capping measures for 2017 include excluding vacant lands where properties are within 50 per cent of current value assessment, as well as limiting capping to only reassessment-related changes prior to 2017. The number of properties affected by capping rebates is declining steadily. Council also passed a motion that taxation revenue collected by the county on municipally owned landfill sites be rebated back to the local municipality paying the tax. The county portion is only one of three components on the tax bill, with the local municipality and education portion making up the balance.

Petition seeks to improve services for brain injured BY SHERRY HAAIMA

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Whether it’s a stroke, brain tumour or concussion — it’s an issue that affects many Canadians. The Brain Injury Association of the Ottawa Valley (OBIA) is asking the public to sign a petition that will help improve services for those affected and their families. The petition, which will be presented to the legislature in the fall, says brain injuries occur as a result of a motor vehicle accidents, assaults, workplace accidents, concussions, falls and illnesses such as stroke and many of these individuals face significant challenges obtaining appropriate services and securing affordable housing. June is Brain Injury Awareness Month so it’s a fitting time to introduce the petition, say officials. “We the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows: 1. Provide suitable affordable housing in the Champlain LHIN; 2. Develop more residential options (group homes, supported housing, specialized long term care units, a behavioural residential centre) in the Champlain LHIN and 3. Provide additional specialized support services specific to the needs of persons with a brain injury offered by staff with acquired brain injury training in the Champlain LHIN,” reads the petition.

SHOP EARLY FOR BEST SELECTION

There are a number of locations within the Champlain LHIN where the petition can be found: • Carleton Place: The Blossom Shop, Valley Granite and Tile • Almonte: Brenda’s New to You Store, Textile Traditions, • Pakenham: 5 Span Feed and Seed • Kemptville: Kemptville Building Centre RONA, Stinson’s, Moose Mart “Every signature counts in our Champlain LHIN area,” says the association. “If people want copies of the petition to help out, they can get it at the locations mentioned and mail them back to: The Ottawa Valley Brain Injury Association at 211 Bronson Ave., Ottawa, Ont. K1R 6H5. Telephone 613-233-8303 email contact@biaov.org.” During Brain Injury Awareness Month, brain injury associations across the country are putting a face to this epidemic through posters, events, and social media, #IamTheFaceofBrainInjury and #BIAM17. Hailey Harms is one of those faces. When Hailey was 16 years old, her competitive skating career was cut short after she sustained numerous concussions. Doctors told her she would never be able to skate again. The risk of a more serious brain injury and severe consequences was just too great. Hailey’s hopes and dreams for a skating career were crushed. When asked what she would like

the public to know about brain injury, Hailey, now 19, stated, “That it can happen to absolutely anybody, your neighbour, your mother, your daughter. All ages. Anyone.” Brain injury came close to Hailey again, when her high school friend, Evan, sustained a severe brain injury through a motor vehicle collision. When Hailey escorted Evan to his 2014 high school graduation, he was heading to university to study engineering. Three years have passed and he is working very hard to regain his ability to talk and walk. He dreams of returning to university and engineering, but his future is unclear. Two talented young people from the same community. Two brain injuries. Different causes. Different experiences. Different outcomes. “Brain injuries can range from mild to catastrophic, but all brain injuries can have lasting effects,” said Ruth Wilcock, executive director of OBIA. Lives are changed in an instant. Hopes and dreams are often put on the back burner as is the case with Hailey and Evan. Brain injury is 15 times more common than spinal cord injury, 30 times more common than breast cancer and 400 times more common than HIVAIDS. Brain injury is also the No. 1 cause of death and disability worldwide among children, youth and those under age 44.

Fire Safety Doesn’t Take a Holiday!

More Important Tips for Summer Fire Safety! • Formulate an escape route for the house or cottage. Practice fire drills regularly at least twice a year. Leave emergency numbers near the telephone. • When using a lawnmower, never fuel it while it is still hot. Give it a few minutes to cool down • Carefully read and follow the label directions on fireworks packaging • Build campfires where they will not spread; well away from tents, trailers, dry grass, leaves, overhanging tree branches or any other combustible.

Use barbecue grills away from the house, tent, or anything that can easily catch fire.

• Some municipalities do not allow open air burning. Always check with your local fire department for questions, instructions and permits. For more information and helpful safety tips visit www.mcscs.jus.gov.on.ca/ english/FireMarshal/OFM_main.html This message was brought to you by the

MP Gord Brown and MPP Steve Clark announce Canada 150 Medal program MP Gord Brown and MPP Steve Clark are looking for 150 of Leeds-Grenville’s finest volunteers and community builders to present them with a Canada 150 Anniversary Medal. “The medals will be awarded to outstanding individuals throughout the riding,” explains Brown. “We’re fortunate to have a proud tradition of community service in Leeds-Grenville,” adds Clark. “There’s no better way to celebrate Canada’s 150th than by recognizing those whose contributions have made this the best place in our country to live.” Members of Parliament thought that the current government was going to continue the 150th medals program announced by the previous

government to help celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the founding of Canada. “That didn’t happen,” explains Brown. “For whatever reason the current government did not think this was a worthy project.” So he and Clark initiated their own program, developed their own medals, and are now seeking nominations. “Other Members of Parliament across Canada are also organizing similar programs,” notes Brown. “MPP Clark and I thought it would be ideal to work together and have a joint presentation.” Nominations are open to any resident of the riding. Nomination forms are available at both Brown’s and

Clark’s office and they are also available to download on their respective websites: www.gordbrownmp.ca and www.steveclarkmpp.com. When they are completed, they can be returned to either Clark’s or Brown’s office. Nominations will remain open until Aug. 31. At that time a panel of four judges from throughout the riding will review them and the medals will be presented at a special ceremony Oct. 11. The medals feature the Canadian Flag on one side and the full colour Canada 150 Symbol on the other. There is a gold background behind each and the outer rim is silver. The lettering is white on a blue background. The medals come in a presentation box.

The Birds of Prey Flight Show was held at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville on Saturday, June 24. The Friends of the Ferguson Forest Centre hosted the show, thanks to a generous donation from the forest itself. Here, James Cowan of the Canadian Raptor Conservancy, holds out his hands so that Sadie, a red-tailed hawk, can land. Left, a Harris hawk lets out a screech during the show. Below, as Frank the turkey vulture suns his wings, Cowan strikes a similar position, explaining that the bird likes to sun its wings not just because it feels nice, but also because warm feathers make it easier, and smoother, for him to fly.

LCTA creates free image database for Lanark County tourism industry The Lanark County Tourism Association (LCTA) is pleased to announce the availability of an image database that can be accessed at no cost for tourism operators and stakeholders in Lanark County. The database was created in partnership between LCTA, Lanark County and Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO), and features images suitable for tourism-related use that are taken within the communities of Lanark County. The project is part of a larger content development project that began last July and spanned nearly a full year before reaching completion. The content development project was funded in part through OHTO’s Tourism Development Partnership Project (TDPP) and with the support of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. The image database currently contains more than 50 tourism-focused images shot within Lanark County, and is available at no cost to tourism operators and stakeholders. Photographic submissions to the database are welcome and can be made by contacting LCTA through the website. LCTA is a not for profit,

membership-based organization dedicated to promoting the interests of its members and tourism within Lanark County. LCTA members are currently comprised of more than 70 tourism operators and stakeholders, including the municipalities of Perth, Smiths Falls, Mississippi Mills and Carleton Place. LCTA takes on a number of projects each year, and in 2016 worked with both OHTO and Lanark County to create the image database, as well as two tourism videos, and five blog posts promoting LCTA members and the region. In addition, in 2016 and 2017, LCTA attended the Ottawa Travel & Vacation Show to promote its members and Lanark County as a tourism destination, and in 2016 partnered with OHTO and Lanark County for the OH! Tourism Summit and Ignite Lanark County. The creation of the image database was a project identified of interest to LCTA members at LCTA’s Annual General Meeting in 2016. In 2017, LCTA again partnered with Lanark County and OHTO to co-ordinate the distribution of the two tourism videos and five blog posts in 2016, through an extensive advertising campaign with The Weather Network and social media.

The advertising campaign is expected to reach more than 300,000 people to encourage visitation to Lanark County. To access the image database, the public is encouraged to visit LCTA’s website www.lcta.ca and click on the Photos tab. From there, visitors will need to create an account, and then select the images they wish to download. The images will be automatically emailed to the registrant as a zip file. The tourism images on the website are suitable for use for tourism-focused applications such as websites, social media, marketing materials, brochures, or by media looking for images to portray Lanark County activities and tourism. There is no cost to download the images, with appropriate photo credit provided to the photographer. LCTA is planning on expanding the database in future, and encourages local photographers with images to share to contact LCTA. For more information about the database, membership, or LCTA’s other ongoing project, please contact Amy Hogue at lanarkcountytourismassociation@gmail.com.

COMMENTARY Happy 150th, Tom

ne can’t think of a better way to mark the sesquicentennial than to pay homage to a Canadian who is as important in the modern history of our great nation as anybody. Might seem like an overstatement when you read his name. Fair enough. This scribe became captivated by Stompin’ Tom Connors at an early age back in the mid-’70s when he was doing the opening theme to Marketplace when it was on the CBC late Sunday nights. Over the years, we became more familiar with the breadth of his collection of songs and stories that told tales about individuals and communities all over the map. Tom might be well-known for certain songs such as Bud the Spud and Sudbury Saturday Night, but listen to those albums from that era and you will learn more about Canada — truth and embellishment — than most of us would see and hear about in school. A lot has changed in 40-some years.

The Ketchup Song comes to mind, given what’s happened to Leamington since Tom’s death in 2013. But it’s the pictures he painted in Cross Canada (C-A-N-AD-A, tell me, what’s a Douglas fir? ...) that stand out to many of us who admire what he meant to this country. Simple but honest. Not just his Maritime roots, either. He travelled the land and crafted tales reflecting what he saw and heard; My Swisha Miss chronicles the border town just up the road from my original stompin’ grounds. It’s a real shame that much of the country was reluctant to embrace Stompin’ Tom Connors until it was too late. He had his challenges and his life was far from perfect, but there wasn’t a better ambassador for the red and white and for the spirit that helped establish regional identities and show that Canada’s foundation is based on the strength of its many parts. As this hero so accurately described, “In Canada we get to see them all.”

Emerson insists eating chokecherries and drinking milk is dangerous It wasn’t a wise decision on Mother’s part. Sending me and Emerson to pick chokecherries together was not a good idea. Emerson, older than I am by six years, spent most of his spare time trying to make my life miserable. Behind Mother’s back, of course. “You know, don’t you, you can choke to death if you eat a chokecherry and drink milk at the same time,” Emerson said, as we headed out with our little honey pails for the cluster of trees strewn along the fence of one of our back fields. Well, I didn’t like milk, so my chance of coming to an untimely death in such a fashion was pretty remote. But Emerson kept up a steady chatter about how dangerous it was, and he knew for a

fact that one young fellow from the Barr Line dropped in his tracks and all it took was a couple of chokecherries and a sip of milk. Of course, he couldn’t come up with a name. We reached the bushes flushed from the heat of the day, and started picking the fruit. It was easy to just grasp a loaded sprig between your thumb and finger, pull gently, and the whole cluster would fall into the pail. So, it didn’t take long to fill the three honey pails ... mine, Emerson’s, and the one tied to his braces. All the way back to the house, Emerson kept talking about the fatal effect of eating a berry and drinking even a sip of milk. Well, I didn’t believe him for one minute! My brother had a special talent for

dreaming up schemes, many of which were planned to scare the living daylights out of me, but I was pretty sure Mother would never expose us to such a danger in the first place, and I told him so. “I don’t believe you for one minute, Emerson Haneman,” I said as we neared the backyard. Emerson put his pails down on the ground and hurried into the house and soon came out with a tin cup, which I was pretty sure was cold water from the ice box.

“You don’t believe me? Well, you just watch this, and you better be ready to call Mother so she can get a call into Dr. Murphy, because you’ve seen the last of me.” He took out a handful of chokecherries from one of the pails, tossed them into his mouth, and said, “This is milk ... now you just watch.” I screamed for him to stop just in case what he had been saying all along had a grain of truth in it. But it was too late. Down the hatch went the chokecherries, and then he took a big gulp of the milk. He rolled his eyes into the back of his head, made the sign of the cross (he wasn’t even a Catholic), and fell on his back to the ground. I prodded him with the toe of my running shoe, and he never moved. I

started to say the Lord’s Prayer, and stopped short of making the sign of the cross just in case it would have an adverse affect since I was a Lutheran. Nothing! Emerson never moved a muscle. He was dead all right. I ran to the kitchen door and screamed for Mother, but my sister Audrey said she had gone to Briscoe’s General Store. Through my sobs, I told Audrey what had happened, and she came out to see our brother who had just taken his last breath, sprawled on the grass by the pump stand. She didn’t even wait to pump up well-water, but took the tin cup off the nailhook, dipped it into the watering trough, and dumped the whole lot right onto Emerson’s face, who had yet to stir a muscle.

Well, that brought him to life in a hurry! Emerson soaking wet, with water dripping down his face, still insisted eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time could kill you, vowed he was near death, and the only thing that saved him was worrying about what Mother would do to me when she found out I was responsible for the demise of her favourite son. That was the last I ever heard of the danger of eating chokecherries and drinking milk at the same time. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Motorcycles meet in Merrickville

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

The Merrickville Motorcycle Show was in town on Sunday, June 25. Above, a row upon row of motorcycles filled the park between the canal and Main Street West. Above right, nothing says no-nonsense, hard-core, heavy metal bikers like the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hosptial of Eastern Ontario bear...wearing a leather jacket, walking along Main Street West. Right, a whole section of downtown Merrickville was given over to motorcycle enthusiasts, as every mode of motorized, two-wheeled vehicle imaginable revved into the core. Below right, the Chaiya Decor store wheeled out this wooden creation of a bicycle for a special showing on Main Street West. Below, the park between the canal and Main Street West was full of bikers, and their motorcycles.

Lower Beverley Lake Park marks 50th anniversary with special celebration BY TIM RUHNKE

truhnke@metroland.com

It was a beautiful day for a golden moment. The 50th anniversary of Lower Beverley Lake Park in Delta was celebrated on Saturday, June 24. Scores of people were on hand for an afternoon gathering to commemorate the work that went into creating the site and building it into a major attraction for the Rideau Lakes community. From its foundation as a centennial project involving the former township of Bastard and South Burgess, Lower Beverley Lake Park officially opened in the summer of 1968. There are now well over 200 campsites plus 11 cottages, with almost 2,000 reservations annually; the park has evolved into one of the municipality's largest economic drivers. Management board chair Cathy Livingston noted at the official ceremony that she was a girl when the park was created and could "vaguely recall" the occasion. "I never gave it much thought," she remarked, explaining that her family wasn't into camping. However, Livingston recounted how proud her sister was when her class planted the maple trees, most of which are still standing today. Having served on the manage-

Livingston indicate that she really appreciates what Lower Beverley Park means to the Delta community and to Rideau Lakes Township. Mayor Ron Holman praised park staff and board members for helping make the facility a real asset to the community; establishing the board as a separate entity from the municipality has "proven out," the mayor commented. The park as well as the mill serve as the backbone of Delta

and the township, according to Holman. Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark thanked the visionaries who made the park possible and who recognized the importance of tourism. "Camping is a great summer opportunity," said Clark, who shared a humorous story about visiting the park when he was a teenager. The MPP presented scrolls on behalf of himself and Sen. Bob Runciman. Also on hand to offer greetings and present a scroll was

in park upgrades (adding up to almost $1.5 million) as well as the huge amounts of money raised by the campers themselves were also noted on Saturday afternoon. Master of ceremonies Ron Kesseler observed that Lower Beverley Lake Park brings together many people who have a common goal: to "put their feet up and enjoy life." The anniversary ceremony included a performance by the Brockville Lions Steel Band.

This week, as we prepare to celebrate Canada’s Sesquicentennial with family and friends on Saturday, I can’t help but recall the details of another Canada Day 50 years ago. I consider myself very fortunate. I was born at a time which has allowed me to fully participate in two of our country’s milestone anniversaries. The Centennial (100th birthday) in 1967 and now the 150th birthday of our nation this July 1! Along the way I was lucky enough to participate in activities surrounding the dawn of the ‘New Millennium’ on Jan. 1, 2000. The use of the term “Canada Day” didn’t happen until 1982 with the approval of the ‘Canada Act’ which allowed the government to patriate Canada’s constitution. Until the arrival of the Canada Act, the approval of the British Parliament was required before our Parliament and Senate could make changes to the constitution. That’s why some people insist to this day that Canada didn’t really gain full independence from Great Britain until 1982. Prior to July 1, 1982 our annual national birthday party was called “Dominion Day.” But rather than pursuing that line of thinking I prefer to stay with the generally accepted version of Canadian history. On July 1, 1867 the British North America Act 1867 (now called the Constitution Act 1867) was approved. The act united what were three separate colonies into one nation called Canada. But we were still part of the British Empire. Over the years Canada gradually gained more and more independence. In 1967 we marked our autonomy by staging what is undoubtedly the largest, year-long national celebration ever held in this country. I was a teenager at the time and I remember it vividly. My life has changed considerably in the half century between Dominion Day 1967 and Canada Day 2017. I graduated from high school and community college. I met the love of my life Kathleen. We are fortunate to have two wonderful adult children and now two little grandchildren who have completely changed our lives and in such a positive way. In 1967 I was living on the family farm at Stittsville with my parents, younger brother and two younger sisters. Our parents Howard and Molly died within seven months of each other in 2014 and 2015. The fact they are no longer with us means there will be a tinge of sadness attached to our Canada 150 observances two days hence. We celebrated a lot of Dominion and Canada Days together. However, this year we will have our friends Martin and Wendy Ireton from West Yorkshire, England and George Lees and his daughter Amanda, from Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland with us for the July 1 festivities. Carleton Place, where we live and Comrie have been twinned for 25 years. The anniversary is a month away on Aug. 1. George chairs the twinning committee in Comrie and I chair the local committee. So their presence will make this a particularly

special Canada Day. As I wrote earlier, this landmark national anniversary makes me think back to 1967 and Canada’s 100th birthday celebrations. Expo 67 It was such a year of pride and joy for all Canadians. Expo 67, the fabulous World’s Fair in Montreal, was a highlight of the year. More than 50 million people visited the sprawling site with its futuristic pavilions. Considering Canada’s population was 20 million at the time that’s a very big number. I went to Expo 67 with my late maternal grandmother, my uncle and a friend of his from Chatham, Ontario. The World’s Fair was a magnet for celebrities. The day we were there we saw Jacqueline Kennedy, the widow of slain U.S. President John F. Kennedy, as she exited the American pavilion with her entourage. It was the year before she wed billionaire shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and at the time “Jackie” as she was universally known, was one of the most popular people on the planet. We felt privileged to see her in person. I also distinctly remember riding the Monorail, the elevated railway which ran around the sprawling site. In 1967 it too had a futuristic feel. My parents also went to Expo 67 with friends one perfect early summer day. I was tasked with babysitting my then two-year-old sister Susan. We had a wonderful day picking wild strawberries which grew in abundance at the back of our farm.

I remember how excited my little sister was as she helped me pick strawberries under a blazing sun. One for us and one for Sue. Or sometimes three for Sue and one for us! But that day of strawberry picking with my little sister, during Centennial Year, is a treasured memory to this day. When my parents returned home late that night, after an enjoyable day at the World’s Fair, they found more than three quarts of strawberries in the refrigerator. Enough for some very tasty pies. And my Mom excelled at baking fruit pies and making fruit preserves! I also recall Dominion Day 1967 in Stittsville. The vintage vehicle parade (if those cars and trucks still exist they really will be vintage now), the barbecue at Alexander’s Grove and the July 1 fireworks, supervised by the volunteer fire department which was headed by my father who was chief at the time. There was a Centennial beard growing contest in Stittsville. For the first and only time in his life my father grew a beard which he kept neatly trimmed. We still have the photographic evidence! I don’t think Dad won a prize. But my Uncle Lloyd topped the field for having “the bushiest beard” of the Centennial contest. Yes, a lot of pleasant memories. And now, half a century later, we are about to make some more memories, this time in Carleton Place which will always be “home” to us even though neither of us was born here. Wherever you plan to be on this very special Canada Day I hope you will participate in the Sesquicentennial activities in your community and make your own special memories. We are fortunate to live in such a good country, something I remind myself of regularly. “Happy 150th Birthday Canada!” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

UCDSB appoints new superintendents The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) announced at its board meeting of June 21 the appointment of two new superintendents of schools. Ronald Ferguson, who holds the position of principal at Perth and District Collegiate Institute, will be commencing his position on Aug. 14. Ferguson is an accomplished school administrator, having supported the operation of school programs from kindergarten to Grade 12 in Almonte, Pakenham and Perth. Joining Ferguson on the board’s executive council team in August is Jodie Barrett, currently an assistant superintendent with the Renfrew County District School Board in Pembroke. Barrett is leading the revised mathematics strategy in Renfrew County and is also involved in the implementation of early learning programming in elementary schools. “We are delighted to welcome Ron

and Jodie as new supervisory officers to the school district, knowing how eager they are to commence the work of supporting learning in our schools and the success of our students,” said the UCDSB director of education, Stephen Sliwa. Both new superintendents bring a wealth of experience to the table. Ferguson has an active presence on a number of districtwide committees associated with programming and leadership. Barrett, a former system leader for special education programming in the Renfrew County board, has worked with multiple stakeholder groups to further learning experiences for students with special needs. “Our new superintendents are a wonderful addition to our school district and to the strong senior management team,” said Sliwa.

Trifles, Tea & Tapes is the swing shift of the summer at Full Circle Theatre BarnDoor Productions' summer series, which began so well with the big laughs of June's The Decorator, moves into the swing shift with a trio of small plays about small things for July. Trifles, Tea & Tape is an evening of one-act plays that all deal with things that might not be thought of as important, but which add up to an entertaining and varied show. It begins with Susan Glaspell's enduring mystery Trifles. A man has been strangled, his wife arrested, and the officials of the town come to the farmhouse to determine what happened. They bring their wives with them, to attend to the "woman" things that need attending to. While the men investigate the important things, the women look at the trifles — and discover far more than the men. The majority of the play (which is only 35 minutes long) rests with the two female characters and BDP is bringing

together two of Perth's favourites, Barb Guthrie and Janice Jacklin, who haven't shared the stage since BDP's second production, 22 seasons ago! They are backed up by a trio of veteran male performers — Brian Atterbury, Scott Duncan, and Greg Morris — and the whole play is a gripping look at the importance of the little things. Hard on that comes a total change of pace: Tea Cups is a tiny little musical comedy (about 15 minutes long) about cups and saucers and a genteel love between two older people. Written by George Grossmith, who was the comic actor who originated almost all of Gilbert and Sullivan's male comic leads, it's a delightful little musical with lots of fun, music, and laughs. It features a married couple in their first BDP show: David and Sheila Kroetsch, who made their Perth debuts in last fall's Perth Community Choir production of Death & Taxes, The Musical.

After an intermission, it's a unique one-man/one-tape recorder play called Krapps' Last Tape. Written by Samuel Beckett (author of Waiting for Godot), it's about a man who has recorded the details of his life each year for many years and now, as an old man, listens to the tapes that speak of the tiny parts of his life. It's part clown show, part comedy, and, as with any life, part tragedy. Whatever it is, it's a fascinating piece of theatre. Performed by BDP's David Jacklin, it is a play that holds an audience from first sound to last. We say that BDP is into the swing shift with this production because the group is shifting its usual run to accommodate other events in Perth. The show runs July 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and July 9 at 1:30 p.m. The group then takes a one-week hiatus and encourages patrons to enjoy the Stewart Park Festival See FULL CIRCLE page 25

Twelve UCDSB schools receive Ontario EcoSchools green certification From energy conservation to environmentally-focused classroom lessons, students in the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) are going for green. In the 2016-17 school year, 12 schools in the UCDSB certified with the Ontario EcoSchools program, as part of a record number of over 1,830 schools certifying across the province. Ontario EcoSchools works with 56 school boards to nurture stu-

dent leadership and foster environmental learning and action in school communities. Certification is based on a provincial standard established by 12 years of benchmarking: currently, the program certifies 37 per cent of all schools in Ontario and reaches close to 850,000 students. The Upper Canada District School Board is proud to be part of this growing network, and supports ongoing environmental

practices in schools. “We are thrilled that so many of our schools have taken part in this program. The fact that two of our schools have achieved platinum certification really speaks to our board’s commitment to our environment,” said Stephen Sliwa, UCDSB director of education.

'Moon Over the Brewery' features a shining new star at Perth's Studio Theatre Samantha Salter is a 13-year-old Grade 7 student at Montague Public School in Montague Township. Her favourite subjects are math and writing ... history, not so much. Sammy started a craft club at her school to make crafts to raise money for charity, and she also teaches the younger kids how to crochet. Sounds like a typical 13-year-old ... except that she is also a budding actress, not unknown in the Perth and Smiths Falls theatre scene. Her resumé reads that she has been on stage at the Smiths Falls Station Theatre for productions of Pollyanna, Railway Children, and Bridge to Terabithia, and in Perth at Classic Theatre’s production of Wait Until Dark. Now, the Studio Theatre in Perth is thrilled to have Samantha Salter for the first time on their stage, where she will take on a lead role in Moon Over the Brewery, which opens on July 20. That's a big responsibility for anyone, let alone someone who's barely into her teens. I asked Samantha how she learns her lines, of which she has the lion’s share in this humorous and heart warming “coming of age” story. She says her grandmother helps her memorize her roles, and supports everything she does. In fact, for Samantha’s first play her nanny went to every performance and knew all the lines herself. “She's my number one fan!” says Samantha. As the director of Moon Over The Brewery, I can’t wait to meet this amazing woman! At present I also get to see Samantha’s mother, Julie Salter, three times a week, because she drives her daughter to Perth and sits through every rehearsal. In fact, we've recruited Julie to be our rehearsal prompter once the actors get “off book,” and she has also agreed to be part

of our back stage crew. (Julie calls the backstage folk "ninjas," very appropriate, since they are dressed in black from head to toe.) She told me that five years ago she took Samantha and her sister Emily to see a play in which their cousin had the lead role. Sammy loved every bit of it, and asked Julie, “Mommy, can I do this someday?” Julie said sure, and the rest is history. For Julie, juggling full time work, Sammy’s rehearsal schedule, and Emily’s karate practices can be a challenge, but it's a challenge they all enjoy. “When Samantha is on stage I see the pure joy on her face, and it makes everything worthwhile,” says Julie. "Theatre can be a great experience for a young person. Not only does it build confidence, it also teaches them to be creative, organized and responsible. They learn great study habits, and are encouraged to be the best they can be.” Moon Over The Brewery tells the story of Miriam, an unmarried Pennsylvania mother living with her precocious teenage daughter Amanda, played by Samantha Salter. Miriam works as a waitress by day, but fulfils her creative passions by painting at night in the moonlight. Daughter Amanda has an imaginary friend who helps her drive away her mom's real life suitors. But Amanda meets her match when Miriam introduces her to mailman Warren Zimmerman, who brings her back to reality, and may even be the father and husband both women are longing for. In the play, Samantha works with three adult actors, and says, “It's a lot of fun because I get to make good friends. It can be a little awkward at first, but then I get to know them and we've become best buds!"

Tracy Noonan, top, and 13-year-old Samantha Salter star in Moon Over the Brewery, premiering July 20 at the Studio Theatre in Perth. For details, please visit studiotheatreperth.com. For the older actors, Samantha's youth and enthusiasm are a tonic that brings freshness and energy to the show. Tracy Noonan portrays Miriam Waslyk, Samantha’s mom, who is described as a “flake” by Randolph (Amanda’s charismat-

ic imaginary friend and scheming cohort, played by Lucas Tennant), but as an "eccentric free spirit" by her daughter. Carleton Place actor Grey Masson plays Warren Zimmerman, the mailman, who is attracted to Miriam because he says she is “colourful” and “different.” Audiences are bound to find the entire play that way — colourful, different, funny, and charming. Moon Over The Brewery opens at the Studio Theatre on Thursday, July 20 for seven performances, July 20, 21, 22, 28 and 29 at 7:30 p.m., and July 23 and 30 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $22 (cash only) at the Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E, (613-267-2350), and $22 plus convenience fee at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St., (613-267-6817; shadowfax.on.ca) and Tickets Please, in the Matheson House Museum Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E. (613 485-6434; ticketsplease.ca) both of which accept in-store, phone, online and credit card purchases. Tickets are $24 at the door, and $10 at the door for students with ID. Attend opening night and save $5. And this summer the Studio Theatre is part of our town's Perth Passport program! As a passport holder you can receive $5 off one ticket to each of our summer plays, Moon Over the Brewery and Romantic Comedy, at the door only. (One ticket per passport per play. Offer cannot be combined with other discounts. Visit studiotheatreperth. com for full show dates and details.) Don't miss Moon Over The Brewery at the Studio Theatre, featuring our newest star, 13-year-old Samantha Salter. It's a great way to see a young actress on her way up, like the moon on a summer night … Submitted by Jane Stott for the Studio Theatre

Some cars like to roll along regardless of hazardous potential for injury “Hi Brian, "I just wanted to let you know about a very hazardous potential for serious injury or damage inherent in my new 2017 Mazda 3 push-button start, automatic. It used to be (with vehicles with traditional keyed ignitions) that I had to place the car in park before being able to remove the key. Not so with my new car. Three times so far after parking I started to get out and shockingly noticed the car beginning to move forward — I hadn't moved the shifter from drive. "The dealer service manager tells me that's how it's supposed to be. I don't normally use the emergency brake when I park but maybe I should revisit that and try to make it a habit. "I'd be interested in getting your perspective. How hard could it be to install a warning signal or voice saying ‘car-not-in-park’ at the factory? There are in fact numerous other alarms/signals that go off while I'm driving; why wouldn't they have addressed this critical circumstance too? "I appreciate your attention.” Mazda 3 owner. As I also own vehicles equipped with push-button starts, I was surprised at receiving this information. On my cars (not Mazdas), if you push the ignition button to stop the engine before you put the transmission in park, a warning chime sounds and a red icon lights up on the instrument panel. This occurs even before you open the door. I sent a request to Mazda Canada for an explanation on their systems and received the following reply. “Hi Brian, "Thank you for giving Mazda Canada an opportunity to review and respond to your reader’s concern. Mazda places a high priority on customer safety and all Mazda vehicles are designed to meet and/or exceed regulatory standards, including the 2017 Mazda3 GT.

the next weekend. The show then returns for a final weekend with performances July 20, 21, 22 at 7:30 p.m. and July 23 at 1:30 p.m. Please note the summer start times, half an hour earlier than usual. The summer series will round off with the première production of a new musical — that’s 2,400 years old! BarnDoor Productions’ brand-new musical adaptation of Aristophanes’ famous (or infamous) 411 B.C. antiwar comedy Lysistrata hits the stage on Aug. 11 and it thoroughly and firmly blows any dust off the millennia-old masterpiece. In the midst of a long war, an Athenian woman hits on an idea to stop the carnage: the women of Greek go on a sex strike until peace is declared. Full of jazzy, bluesy music, loads of laughs, and

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

"Mazda incorporates a number of safety features into our keyless ignition system to prevent potentially dangerous situations. For example, the ignition lock is designed so that the ignition start/stop button cannot be switched to OFF until the shift lever is moved to the P (Park) position. If a driver attempts to switch off the ignition start/stop button without putting the gear shift lever in the P position first, the engine will shut off; however, the ACC (Accessories) mode will remain on, an orange light will illuminate on the start/stop button, and a red Security Indicator warning light will start flashing on the vehicle’s instrument cluster. In addition, there will also be an audible alert (beeping sound) when the door opens to further alert the driver that the vehicle is not in park. "Regardless of the ignition system (key or keyless), for additional safety Mazda always recommends that drivers use the parking brake in conjunction with placing the vehicle in the P position to hold the vehicle in the unlikely event that P fails to hold.” Sandra Lemaitre Director, Public Relations Mazda Canada Inc. I forwarded this to our Mazda owner who reported back, “We just tested them (they own two Mazda 3s) and both did shut off with the shift in D or P or N — and then began to roll away. Neither one gives any kind of warning or flashing light nor audible signal, except when the doors are opened. However, by

lots and lots of fun, Lysistrata is a musical unlike any you’ve seen before. And, in this day and age, it turns out that a 2,428-year-old play can still have something important to say. And finally, a heads-up on a special event at Full Circle Theatre. On Aug. 24, Perth will have a rare chance to see a five-piece Irish band who have been called “the new voice of Irish music”. Connla will stop at Full Circle Theatre for one performance only. Tickets and further details to be announced. Trifles, Tea & Tape runs July 7-9 and 20-23 at the air-conditioned, fully-accessible Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park.

then the car could have rolled a significant distance and done serious damage, especially if the driver is distracted.” First, I’d suggest taking both these vehicles back to the servicing dealership along with Mazda Canada’s interpretation of how this system is supposed to work and having things checked out. There seems to be a major disconnect. But in the big picture how reliant are we becoming on warning systems for basic vehicle operations? It’s almost approaching the ‘caution-hot’ labels on disposable coffee cups. There is concern among industry analysts and observers that we may be approaching warning-chime overload with all the things in our vehicles that go ding. The fears are that this will lead to drivers ignoring certain warnings and that can’t lead to anything good.

Canada Day weekend is here and with it comes a country full of chrome. You can get your fix at the following events. On Friday, June 30 the 150 Ponies for Canada’s 150th happens at Pineview Golf Club on Blair Road in Ottawa from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. All are welcome to attend however parking spots are reserved for Mustangs only!

The Tay-Clyde and Land O’ Lakes Shriners are teaming up for a good cause on Friday, July 21, as they gear up for a day of golf while remembering one of their own. The Wayne McGarvey Memorial Golf Tournament will be held at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club, with lunch at 11 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at noon. “We’re hoping to sell out,” said John Ruffo, who said 36 mixed teams would be the cut-off.

After retiring from the police, McGarvey opened a photography business in Perth — Memory Lane Photography — with his wife of 50 years, Maidi. They specialized in wedding photography. He was a past master of the True Britons Masonic Lodge in Perth, where he was a 32nd degree Mason — a member of the Scottish Right of Freemasonry. He was also a past president and longtime secretary of the Tay-Clyde Shrine Club in Perth, as well as an active member of the Tunis Shriners in Ottawa and the Tunis Keystone Kops unit. “It’s fitting that Wayne be memorialized with a Shriners Golf Tournament, indicating that he contribute to society as he did in life,” Skinner noted.

Smiths Falls purchases swans to lessen geese population Work being done BY EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

To help control the geese population in the Victoria Basin area, the Town of Smiths Falls has turned to a creative solution — they're introducing a pair of swans. The hearty birds don't fly, so they'll stay put in the basin where they'll reside and hopefully breed, said the town's manager of community services, Art Manhire, said before council on Monday, June 26, as he spoke of the birds' arrival. The swans are four years old and live about 20 years. The two birds come as a pair and mate for life. Manhire confirmed that the pair coming to Smiths Falls are indeed a couple, after questing from Coun. Lorraine Allen about their relationship status. Manhire said the swans are quite aggressive when it comes to geese infringing on their territory, and with their introduction will hopefully help lessen the geese population around the basin by discouraging the geese from nesting there. Parks Canada had done a study which showed that swans could be used effectively to control geese populations.

Last year, there were about 100 geese that were spawned from four geese in the basin, Manhire said. When asked by Coun. Dawn Quinn about where the swans would go for the winter, Manhire reported that the town will arrange for their winter accommodations and bring them back each spring. Manhire said the town had been trying to locate swans to purchase for about a year. When asked where the swans were being held, Manhire said, with a bit of tongue and cheek, that the swans are being held in an "undisclosed location" and will be released "fairly soon." He said he hopes they will be an attraction in town and help make the waterfront a bit more enjoyable. Manhire said the town will have to coordinate with Parks Canada to ensure the swans don't get locked through the Rideau Canal and find their way to Merrickville. And, no, if you've been wondering, the swans haven't been named yet. But, said Manhire, the town may have something in store to change that. The swans cost the town Submitted photo $1,000.

on Edmonds Lock The first phase of work at Edmonds Lock 25, Overflow Dam and Weir on the Rideau Canal National Historic Site is now complete. This phase of work focused on stone masonry repairs to the lock and overflow dam, repairs to the earth dam, installation of the safety boom, as well as improvements to the roadway access to the dam from County Road 43. The site is currently undergoing restoration which will continue through the opening weekend of the 2017 navigation season. In fall 2017, phase two of construction at Edmonds Lock is scheduled to begin. This phase will focus on masonry repairs to the weir. The full project is expected to be completed by spring 2018. The Edmonds Lock 25 project is extending the life of these important waterway assets and ensuring this site will welcome visitors for years to come. This project is part of Parks Canada’s unprecedented $3 billion dollar investment over 5 years to support infrastructure work to heritage, visitor, waterway and highway assets located

within national historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas across Canada. These historic investments will mitigate health and safety risks, halt the loss of nationally significant built heritage and stimulate the economy in communities across the country. Edmonds Lock, Dam and Weir were constructed in the late 1820s to early 1830s. The lock was created with a 2.64 metre (eight foot, eight inch) lift, built on a clay foundation and wooden floor. A stone arch overflow dam was built with a weir installed to reduce the chance of floods. In the early 1840s, a stone lockmaster's house was constructed at the site then replaced with a twostorey house in 1905.

Hall of Fame awards give back to those who give back at ceremony BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

To those who gave so much on the rinks, the fields, and other sports venues, Smiths Falls gave back to them. The 35th annual Recreation Hall of Fame induction ceremony was held at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre’s upper hall on Sunday, June 25. The awards were handed out to three individuals, and one team from the not-toodistant past: • Paul Cauley, a former football coach at SFDCI, and a coach in the town’s minor football system; • John S. (Bud) Fawcett, liaison from Hershey for the plant’s annual Smiths Falls minor hockey tournament. He is also heavily involved in senior sports in town; • Grace Muir, a volleyball and track coach at SFDCI. She is also a member of the University of Waterloo’s Hall of Fame; and, • The Hull’s Angels’ lob ball team (19801986). Master of ceremonies Terry Shea joked that he often stops to read the plaques of each of the inductees when he perhaps should be joining his wife in a power walk around the arena, but seeing players and parents from visiting teams reading their town’s wall of fame, “is really cool. That really sets our town apart. Also, we have the best rink anywhere,” said Shea. “They have spent most of their lives giving back,” said Coun. Lorraine Allen, who was representing town council and Mayor Shawn

Pankow, who was called away because of a birth in his family. “This (ceremony) is one of the positive things that we do each year. They have made Smiths Falls a better town to live in.” Cauley, in accepting his award, noted that this day was an important one for him because “I (now) follow my father in the hall.” He told the crowd that if, as a coach, you make the games fun and you earn the respect of your players, “you will reap the rewards,” and that “sports creates friends,” many of whom were present for him, and his fellow inductees. “Six months from today is Christmas,” he said. “I would like to thank the Hall of Fame for this early Christmas present.” In many ways, the ceremony was a family affair - with many families filling the rows of seats. “Is there ever a lot of Cauleys here,” joked “Bud” Fawcett, before pointing over to his cheering section, showing a flash of that competitive spirit. “(But) I think we got you beat ... You can’t challenge a Fawcett.” He thanked the Town of Smiths Falls “for giving us so many venues,” to play at, including the lawn bowling club, which keeps so many senior citizens active and healthy. “I’ve got a lot of years left!” he said. “I’m enjoying every minute of it.” Muir took the chance to thank her fellow inductees. “I am so honoured to be included in this amazing group,” said Muir. She also took a look around the room from the lectern, and said, “I do see so many of my dear players

Their original intent was to “just play league ball, (play) a few tournaments, and (have) a few social events.” Instead, over the years, “we became a closely knit group,” said McIntyre.

Breast cancer survivors take on the last 100 kilometres of the Rideau Canal BY EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

It was a sea of pink at Edmonds Lockstation on Monday morning, where Dragons Abreast Toronto kicked off their 100-kilometre paddle to Ottawa. Some 20 breast cancer survivors, members of Dragons Abreast Toronto, and their supporters gathered to launch their dragon boat for their sixday, 16-lock journey on June 26. The 48-foot dragon boat, (wo)manned by 20 breast cancer survivors, will trek the last 100 kilometres of the Rideau Canal to arrive in Ottawa for Canada Day to partake in the July 1 festivities and mark their group’s 20th anniversary. They will be followed along the way by supporters in vehicle and trailed by a safety boat. The group has paddled all over the world, but this is the longest distance they’ve travelled, said member Pat Brown, who did not paddle in the first

stretch to Merrickville. “It’s not a race, it’s endurance,” she explained. That sentiment was echoed by Eleanor Nielsen, the founder of Dragons Abreast Toronto. “The journey is the important thing, not the destination,” said Nielsen as she made a gesture honouring the water and women before the dragons set sail on Monday morning. Nielsen, 79, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1989, and started the group in 1997 after seeing another breast cancer dragon boat team in Vancouver. “I hoped there would be a place for us in the Toronto dragon boat community. And, there was,” she said. “As the years go by, you want the group to function well,” said Nielsen. “I think they’ve done an outstanding job.” This year marks 20-years strong. Nielsen said the decision to paddle down the Rideau was inspired by a Stratford dragon boat team, who paddled the

whole Rideau Canal from Kingston to Ottawa. Nielsen said she thought, “Oh, wow. Wouldn’t that be a wonderful experience?” So, some of the group’s members drove the canal, scoped it out and asked others if they’d be interested in the endurance paddle. There was. The group has paddled all over the world, including in Italy and China, breaking down barriers, stigma and sharing the common bond of breast cancer — which comes with friendship, loss and lots of laughter. “We’re from every walk of life,” said Gayle Rotenberg, one of the dragons. “We have friends who have recovered, and others who have passed. We have others where (the cancer) has re-metastasized, and they keep going.” “A lot of people join (the group) for the support system,” she explained. “You might be diagnosed and you have a close family — other people don’t have that.”

“For some people, newly diagnosed, the more people you see surviving, the better,” said the group’s founder, Nielsen. This year, the Rideau Adventure got a lot of interest from the members, although smaller in numbers than previous years. One of the key goals for the group’s 20th year is to give back to the community. So, they’ve turned this adventure into a fundraiser for Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto, a registered charity that offers support programs for adults, teens and children living with cancer, along with their families and friends. Gilda’s offers programs for people with cancer and their support networks, to help them through the challenges of treatment, rehabilitation, living with cancer or bereavement. One of the Dragons Abreast Toronto members, Pat Brown, is also the CEO of Gilda’s Club

Greater Toronto. At the launch on Monday, Brown explained the bond and sisterhood she shares with her fellow dragons. Brown joined Dragons Abreast Toronto in 2000 when she was going through breast cancer treatment and met someone at the hospital who introduced the group to her. “I’d never heard of (dragon boating) before,” she said. But, it was an introduction that made a huge impact on Brown’s life. “It’s changed my life,” she said. “I think it’s changed all our lives. “It certainly is a group of inspiring women.” And while the camaraderie is great, the physicality is helpful, too. “Physical activity has an enormous benefit for anyone with cancer — we just chose dragon boating,” said Nielsen.

“We think dragon boating is pretty special.” Two other breast cancer survivor teams are expected: Ottawa’s “Busting Out” will join the group on June 30 for a day of paddling, and “Prior Chest Nuts” from Arnprior will join on July 1. The group’s trip will go accordingly: • Monday, June 26, Edmonds Lock to Merrickville; • Tuesday, June 27, Merrickville Locks to Burritts Rapids Lock; • Wednesday, June 28, Burritts Rapids Lock to Pirates Cove Marina; • Thursday, June 29, Pirates Cove Marina to Long Island Locks; • Friday, June 30, Long Island Locks to Hogs Back Locks; • Saturday, July 1, Hogs Back Locks to downtown Ottawa.

Smiths Falls police saw decline in 'crimes of violence' and 'property crimes' in 2016 BY EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

The Smiths Falls Police Service (SFPS) released its annual report this April — highlighting lower service calls and a decline in the overall categories “crimes of violence” and “property crimes" than the previous year. According to the SFPS crime statistics, the town saw a 10.5 per cent increase in reported sexual assault incidents, from 19 in 2015 to 21 in 2016; a 79.7 per cent increase in reported fraud incidents, from 79 in 2015 to 142 in 2016; an 11.5 per cent increase in reported drug incidents; a 14.4 per cent increase in non-criminal domestic disturbance incidents, from 104 in 2015 to 119 in 2016; and a 100 per cent increase in reported robbery incidents, from one report in 2015 to two reports in 2016. Smiths Falls Police Chief Mark MacGillivray said the force has really paid attention to the increase in reported fraud incidents, which have been on the rise in the area. MacGillivray pointed to the tax scams and others, which the SFPS have warned the public about repeatedly. Other crimes, such as the rise in reported robbery incidents from one to two, is not an “alarming number” but also acknowledged that any potential crime has a victim, and take any reported incident seriously. “Crime is never good, but we’ve got a handle on it and doing the best we can — that’s all we can do,” he said. However, a number of reported crime instances dropped, too. In 2016, the town saw a 27.1 per cent reduction in the number of reported assault incidents, from 114 in 2015 to 83; a 9 per cent reduction in the number of reported break and enter incidents, from 33 in 2015 to 30 in 2016; a 2.2 per cent reduction in the number of reported theft incidents, from 175 in 2015 to 171 in 2016; a 24.7 per cent reduction in the number of reported bail violation incidents, from 85 in 2015 to 64 in 2016; a 50 per cent reduction in the number of reported arson incidents, from two in 2015 to one in 2016; an 18.9 per cent reduction in the number of reported mischief to property incidents, from 111 in 2015 to 90 in 2016; a 22.2 per cent reduction in the number of reported impaired driving incidents, from 18 in 2015 to 14 in 2016; and a reduction in the number of reported mental health act incidents, from 106 in 2015 to 75 in 2016. No homicides were reported in either 2015 or 2016. Reported crime incidents can be a result of increased calls for service, officer investigations or incidents that arise while officers are on patrol and don’t necessarily result in arrests or charges laid. Overall, MacGillivray said that he’s “not alarmed” by the crime statistics given Smiths Falls’ population and demographics. “We’re doing the right things on the crime prevention side,” he said. Overall, MacGillivray said he’s very happy with the work his officers are doing at their pro-active, local force, and wants the SFPS to continue to focus on road safety and collaboration with other agencies in the area. The chief said the service will continue to work with the board, town council and stakeholders to maintain fiscal responsibility and provide the best policing possible for the community. Last year was the sixth that the force has had a dedicated community safety officer (CSO). Const. Aaron Tompkins took over from Const. Dave Murphy as the force's CSO, a position that lends itself to outreach in schools and engagement with

community partners and local stakeholders. “Aaron is doing a fantastic job getting the community involved and speaking and connecting with local community partners and resources,” said MacGillivray. “That’s the key to success.” The SFPS had high clearance rates, the number of crimes that result in charges being laid compared with the total number of crimes recorded. The SFPS cleared 88.3 per cent of reported “crimes of violence,” 97.2 per cent of “other criminal code” crimes reported, 96.6 per cent of reported drug crimes, but only 18 per cent of property crimes reported — the same types of crimes that had the highest actual reported numbers, sitting at 385 in 2015 and 411 in 2016. MacGillivray said property crimes are sometimes more difficult to solve, pointing to an example where there might be a surge of car thefts in one night; cases that are less likely result in charges being laid. But, he stressed, “Obviously, we strive to get (clearance rates) higher.” All of the motor vehicle statistics reported in the annual report showed either decline or no change between 2015 and 2016, including zero fatal injuries reported in either 2015 or 2016. The total number of incidents submitted to the accident support services dropped by 3.7 per cent from 219 in 2015 to 211 in 2016. The force received six public complaints in 2016 — four were found to be unsubstantiated, one was found to be substantiated, and one is still pending, according to the report. There were no Special Investigations Unit (SIU) investigations in 2016. These are investigations which take place when police officers are involved in incidents where someone has been injured or dies, or alleges sexual assault. The SIU has the mandate to conduct independent investigations to determine whether a criminal offence took place. In 2015, there was one. In 2016, there were 18 occurrences requiring a “Use of Force Report” by the SFPS, resulting in 22 individuals reports and three team reports. According to the annual report, use-of-force reports are complete whenever an officer attends a call for service and needs to employ a physical method to subdue a subject, or protect themselves or the public, or make an arrest. The type of force used is at the discretion of the officer involved. There were 14 use-of-force reports involving a firearm, and 11 reports involving a Taser (one of which was used in conjunction with an “empty hand technique”) within the SFPS. In 2016, the SFPS saw the introduction of the standardized field sobriety testing, which helps officers identify subjects who are under the influence of drugs and alcohol. In total, 27 charges were laid as a result of breath tests, including six impaired driving/care-and-control charges, 18 drive/ care-and-control over 80 mg, and three charges for refusing breath samples. “The service’s dedication to providing some of the most advanced and reliable equipment available, as well as the dedication of the breath technicians and front line officers to enforcement initiatives, shows that the citizens of Smiths Falls are receiving every possible advantage in the fight against Impaired driving on our roadways,” Sgt. Paul Klassen wrote in the report. In 2016, the SFPS got 8,115 calls for service through their in-house communication centre, a 7.6 per cent reduction from the number of calls for service in 2015, which totalled 8,781. SFPS came in $92,285 under budget for 2016. MacGillivray reported that in 2017 the SFPS is proposing a budget reduction of just over $16,000.

Merrickville-Wolford celebrates Canada 150

Ceili fun!

This year, Merrickville-Wolford’s Canada Day will be a celebration for adults and kids to remember. The festivities start at 11:30 a.m. with our signature parade, featuring Merrickville’s own Town Crier and Parade Marshall leading the way. They will be followed by many other floats and participants, including The Kemptville Legion Pipe and Drum Band, and last but not least The Shriners, who always share joy and laughter wherever they perform. After the parade, everyone is invited back to the Blockhouse Park for our Canada Day ceremonies at 12 noon including a Canada Day cake, followed by an afternoon of live entertainment, music, fun, and activities. There will be a free chicken lunch at the Legion, and free

hotdogs sponsored by the Lion’s Club at the Park. The Company of Fools Comes to Town Canada Day’s evening activities will include theatre, music, and fireworks all at the fairgrounds. We are excited to welcome The Company of Fools and their Torchlight Shakespeare production to our Canada Day celebrations. This summer, the Fools are performing A Midsummer Night's Dream in parks throughout the Ottawa area, with a special Canada Day preview performance in Merrickville. The Fools are a renowned Ottawa-based theatre troupe known for their fun, physical, interactive, and professional productions of Shakespeare’s plays. This is the 15th anniversary of Torchlight Shakespeare

and promises to be their biggest show yet! And what a show it is! Helena loves Demetrius. Demetrius loves Hermia. Hermia loves Lysander. Throw into this mix an enchanted forest, a mischievous fairy, a feuding king and queen, and a troupe of terrible wannabe actors and you have a recipe for a hilarious, magical, love-filled summer night. The show starts at 6 p.m. at the fairgrounds (in case of bad weather, the play will move into the community centre). Bring your own chair, pay what you can (the suggested donation is $20). After the play, stay on at the fairgrounds to enjoy music (starting at 8 p.m.) and the always amazing fireworks (at 10 p.m. — time approximate). Find the full schedule at www. merrickville-wolford.ca.

Dancers make their way through an assembly line of dance on the front lawn of the Heritage House Museum Saturday’s Ceili on June 24.

Celebrate Canada Day at Heritage House This year marks the milestone anniversary of Canada’s 150th anniversary. Join the Smiths Falls Heritage House for a special line up of celebratory activities on July 1 from 10 a.m. — 5 p.m. New exhibitions, demonstrations, trivia, games and photo booths will help to kick off the celebrations before the fireworks across the road at Lower Reach Park. On Canada's birthday, the museum challenges your Canadian history trivia and knowledge of great Canadian inventions in the Great Canadian History Quiz. Do you know the number of provinces that initially joined together to form Confederation? How about Canada’s prime minister during the Great War? If you love trivia, tour the museum and test your memory to win a prize. For our younger visitors or for those

young at heart, museum scavenger hunts are also available to test the eyes. July 1 also marks the launch of the museum’s new exhibition, Our Town. Step back in time to see what life was like in 1867 in compliment to the time frame of our 1860s home and period rooms. Each room has been opened up so visitors can walk right in, sit on the furniture and enjoy interactive activities. Open up the costume trunk and try on some 1860s fashion for a retro photo booth. Try your hand at calligraphy in the study or play with the Victorian toys in the children’s bedroom. The large gallery will also look at Smiths Falls in 1967 to look at life during Canada’s centennial celebrations. The small gallery offers guests a last look at the special exhibition, The Ottawa Valley Irish, which highlights

the personal stories of local Irish settlers, their families and the impact they had on the development in the area. The brick bake oven will be stoked with yummy samples and our homemade rhubarbginger jam. See how ice cream was made the old fashioned way and taste a refreshing sample before heading out side to participate in traditional lawn games, graces, crochet, and horse shoes. Drop by the Heritage House with the family on Canada Day, 11 Old Sly’s Rd., and discover the fascinating way of life in 1867 and Smiths Falls since the important day of Confederation. Admission is by donation in celebration of Canada’s 150th. Everyone is welcome. For more information, please contact the museum at: 613-2836311 or heritagehouse@smithsfalls.ca. See you at the museum!

Summer fun around the corner

nd in the blink of an eye, year three has come to a grinding halt with my Little

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

Ceili fun The Heritage House Museum in Smiths Falls hosted an Irish Ceili and picnic on Sunday, June 25. The entertainment was provided by Seventh Town, who are, from left, Meghan Balogh on fiddle, Martin Smit on guitar, and Trisha Elliott on flute.

Sister. She’s growing up right before my eyes, and I feel like an old soul now. This kid thing is kind of tough. I don’t envy parents at all. Not that I’m a parent, nor do I pretend to be. But it’s tough, especially when she comes to me, tears in her eyes and she’s having a breakdown. My hard-as-nails Little was hurt by a bully. I wanted to strangle the little bugger, but her teacher had him write an apology to her. They don’t take kindly to that sort of behaviour, and I could only breathe a sigh of relief. It saved me from marching up those stairs and beating him myself. Not that I would have used violence (I would never condone that), but I can see where someone might lose their patience with someone who mistreats their child. I’m growing quite protective of my Little Sister. When we had our end-of-year meeting with our caseworker recently, he asked us how we got along this year. “She is a bundle of joy,” she tells him. “She makes me feel great, and I can talk to her about anything knowing that it’s not going anywhere.” “A bundle of joy?” he asks, eyebrows cocked, silly grin on his face. Yes, mister … I am a freaking bundle of joy. She just said so. (When I’m not in warrior mode, wanting to take out a bully, perhaps.) He asked if we wanted to continue with the match next year. “Yes!” she said. She’s going into Grade 8 and I wasn’t sure if she would be “too cool” for this BBBS stuff. “We can just be friends once I get to high school, then we can go to Tim Hortons anytime we want,” she reasoned. The thing about our match, is that it happened later in her life than it normally does with other matches through the organization. She’ll be 13 this summer. I met her when she was 10. Children who are waiting on a big brother or sister are usually a lot younger starting out. My Little waiting a few years before we were matched. It’s sad that there are so many young boys and girls waiting on a mentor with Lanark County Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Just one hour a week can make a huge difference in a child’s life. You’re not out of pocket any expenses. It’s not about spending money

LAURIE WEIR Weir View on them, but spending time with them. For just a few hours a month, you can help a child succeed. BBBS seeks volunteers who are committed and consistent, willing to serve at least a year, but the aim is to stay with the child until he or she graduates from high school. According to the BBBS website, studies show mentoring services help kids stay in school, avoid risky behaviour, and experience first hand the importance of helping others in their community. It’s not like you’re doing this alone. There are professional staff members who are available to work with you, the child and the family throughout the course of the mentoring relationship to provide necessary training and support. Funding (through events like Bowl for Kids’ Sake; the 3M Golf Tournament or Curl for Kids – as well as other initiatives) allows BBBS to support more matches throughout the county. There are so much more opportunities available then when I started volunteering as a big sister more than 25 years ago. I had a traditional match with a little sister in Leeds and Grenville. Living in Brockville at the time, we were able to hang out at the park, do some mini-golfing, and we also had sleepovers. The match I have now allows me to spend time with a Little Sister in a different capacity – just one hour a week at her school. Although my Little wants to hang out more, we are restricted to our in-school meeting each Wednesday at lunch hour. Next year though, she may want to get into an outside sport, so plans are in the works to get that sorted out – like becoming a certified coach so I can be courtside during game time. That way too, we can hang out beyond school hours and parlay our match into a tighter friendship … cuz she’s just that cool. For more information on volunteering your time to make a difference in a little person’s life, please visit www. bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca or call the office in Smiths Falls at 613-2830570. Spend a time, not a fortune, and change a life.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 You may need to dim your lights so you do not outshine others, Aries. You can be a force and it pays to let others share a bit of the spotlight. This will garner some goodwill.

Michael was born on April 6, 1967 in Smiths Falls to his parents Patrick and Huguette Hanrahan. He was the third of four sons and attended Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, where he played football, tennis and basketball. Michael is survived by his parents, Patrick and Huguette Hanrahan, brothers Patrick, John (J.J.) and Matthew and sisters-inlaw Patricia (nee Lewis) and Christina (nee Taylor). He is dearly missed by his nephew Scott and nieces Caitlin, Erin and Chloe. Mike graduated from Ryerson University in Toronto with a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Photographic Arts and subsequently received his diploma in Professional Accounting from Algonquin College. Mike spent much of his career working in finance; most recently, he was employed as an accountant with Guy Saumure & Sons Construction. Among his pursuits were photography, music and a love of writing; he had several film screenplays registered with the Writers Guild of Canada. Mike had an amazing wit, a deadpan delivery and the most generous heart. Among the many moments of joy and laughter he generated, friends and family fondly recall Mike’s ten-minute impromptu address at a family wedding that brought the entire crowd to tears of laughter. An avid sports fan, he was a fervent supporter of the Dallas Cowboys, Boston Celtics, Ottawa Senators and Ottawa Rough Riders (now Redblacks). In accordance with Mike’s wishes, no viewing or memorial services are planned. He will be cremated and interred at St. Francis de Sales Cemetery. The family will conduct a private celebration of his life at a later date. As expressions of sympathy, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (www.heartandstroke.ca/donate).

TROTTER-SCOTT, Wendy September 28, 1962- June 28, 2015 I Heard Your Voice In The Wind (Author Unknown) I heard your voice in the wind today And I turned to see your face; The warmth of the wind caressed me As I stood silently in place. I felt your touch in the sun today As its warmth filled the sky; I closed my eyes for your embrace And my spirit soared high. I saw your eyes in the window pane As I watched the falling rain; It seemed as each raindrop fell It quietly said your name. I held you close in my heart today. It made me feel complete. You may have died, but you are not gone. You will always be a part of me. As long as the sun shines... The wind blows... The rain falls... You will live inside of me forever Missed and loved by your family and friends

Town staff finds $172,714 in savings through water sustainability review BY EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

The town has found big savings after looking for efficiencies in water distribution and waste water collection. Troy Dunlop, the town’s director of public works and utilities, announced that his team had found $172,714 in savings after completing a service sustainability review, which looked at water distribution and waste water collection, during a presentation to council at the town’s committee of the whole meeting on June 19. Potential savings were found in three broad categories: operational savings of $78,914 in labour and benefits (water distribution) and $2,500 in water fleet savings; capital savings of $25,800 water distribution water fleet and $60,000 worth of savings in the public works and utilities fleet; and $5,500 in potential revenue from water metre sales were found. The town compared its service to those of Arnprior, Aylmer, Carleton Place,

Dryden, Gananoque, Perth, Renfrew and Clarence Rockland. The savings were found in a few pieces of equipment Dunlop felt the town could part with, as well as a potential changes to staffing in the department. Currently, the town has 13 staff that are licensed to perform water distribution, waste water collection and public works duties — nearly double other comparators the town looked at. Dunlop also spoke about the potential to eliminate one currently vacant licensed operator position within the department. There are a total of six licensed operator positions in the town. The Town of Smiths Falls has budgeted $714,280 for water distribution in 2017, up 8.2 per cent from $708,438 in 2016. For waste water collection, the town has budgeted $233,860 in 2017 up 11.5 per cent from $209,670 in 2016. Malcolm Morris, the town’s chief administrative officer, said the ultimate objective is to reduce the cost of water when all three service reviews

with respect to water are completed. Other reviews include focus on the water treatment plant. The Town of Smiths Falls owns and operates a water distribution system which supplies residents and businesses with drinking water and also supports fire protection services. This network includes 62 kilometres of pipes, 700 valves, 300 fire hydrants and metred services for about 3,300 customers. Coun. John Maloney asked why cost-sharing with Montague wasn’t included in the report presented to council. The town is the only municipality the town assessed that provides service to another municipality. Dunlop explained while cost-sharing with Montague wasn’t included in this report, there will be opportunity to have open dialogue with the town’s neighbour. Coun. Jay Brennan expressed thanks that Dunlop had been able to find close to $200,000 in savings for the town. “To find efficiencies like you have, that’s great,” he said.

SIU investigates Rideau Lakes incident BY EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

The province’s police watchdog organization, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding an incident involving police and a 43-year-old Smiths Falls man that occurred earlier this month near Smiths Falls in Rideau Lakes. According to an SIU media release put out on June 21, preliminary information suggests that in the afternoon hours of Saturday, June 3, an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer contacted a man by phone informing him of a pending arrest. Information provided by the SIU goes on to say that at 3:20 p.m., the man called 911 reporting that he had sustained a "self-inflicted gunshot wound". The SIU say police and emergency services attended and the man was transported to Ottawa Civic Hospital by air ambulance, where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at 7:47 p.m. on Friday, June 9. The SIU investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault. The director of the SIU must consider whether an officer has committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident under

investigation, depending on the evidence, lay a criminal charge against the officer if appropriate or close the file without any charges being laid, and report the results of any investigations to the Attorney General. Three investigators and two forensic investigators have been assigned to investigate this incident. The SIU is urging anyone who may have infor-

mation about this investigation to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-7878529. The SIU is also urging anyone who may have any video evidence related to this incident to upload that video through the SIU website. The OPP were reached for comment, but could not speak to the matter because it is currently being investigated by the SIU.

News & Events Best Management Practices for Drinking Water Threats: Well Protection Most rural Ontarians rely on groundwater from dug or drilled wells for their private water supply. If you own your own well, you are responsible for it. You must make sure it is constructed to provincial standards. You must also arrange to have your water tested regularly. Your health, and the health of your family, is dependent on clean, safe water. Regardless of well type, nothing but water should enter your well, and it should only enter from underground. The sides and top of your well should be watertight and free of leaks and seepage. No contaminants or foreign materials should ever have access to your well. Otherwise, the groundwater your well draws from and the water your family uses from the well could become contaminated. When Should I Test the Water in My Well? Private wells should be monitored regularly. Watch for changes in water taste, odour and colour. Have a sample of your well water tested through your local health unit for indicator bacteria: At least three times per year, with one of those samples done in the spring. More frequently than three times per year if you know of problems, if you have a highly vulnerable water supply, or if you are in a critical recharge area, which tends to be very sandy or full of gravel. After major plumbing or septic work.

Henderson hopes to hoist Canadian Pacific Women’s Open trophy before hometown crowd BY ERIN MCCRACKEN

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Canada’s top female golfer Brooke Henderson will have home-course advantage in more ways than one when the Canadian Women’s Open tees off at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club in the Hunt Club community in August. “I’ve never played an LPGA tour event so close to home before and so to have the fans and my family and my friends come out and watch it is really amazing, and I’m really excited for the opportunity to put on a good show for them,” the 19-year-old Smiths Falls native said June 21 during a media event at the club, held to promote the Canadian Pacific-sponsored championship. Canadian golfing legend Lorie Kane, who will also compete, took part in the event preview, which included a friendly skills competition. In addition to playing so close to her hometown, Henderson also considers the south Ottawa course her home club. She first walked its links at age of eight during the 2008 National Women’s Open, and last played the course – of which nine holes have been redesigned – a month ago. Henderson acknowledged that competing Aug. 21 to 27 in the major LPGA Tour championship, in which a total

purse of US$2.25 million will be up for grabs, comes with added pressure. But she said she has learned a lot over the last two years about the importance of time management, that “… if I want to perform to the best of my ability I have to say no sometimes. “But I also want to embrace it and spend a lot of time with media and fans and show them how I appreciate their support. But with that being said, if I play well, then everybody’s happy,” said Henderson, who won the prestigious Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan on June 18 and will next defend her title at the 2017 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Chicago June 27 to July 2. The pro golfer will have “a rare” two weeks off in the lead-up to the Canadian Women's Open, which drew 96 of the world’s top 100 women golfers in 2016. This year, 156 golfers will compete for the coveted trophy at the Ottawa club. Henderson plans to spend that downtime practising at ‘the Ottawa Hunt,’ as the private club is known locally. “Winning (the) Canadian Open would be extremely special and probably the most meaningful event for me out on tour,” she said. “Just having so much support come from Canada, I think – I don’t know, its just hard to explain – but it would be extremely special for me

deciding whether to turn pro or attend college. “I really was on the fence as to what was best for her, and only she knows. And I’m glad she chose what she chose,” said Kane, who hails from Prince Edward Island. She also noted the difference at which they each turned pro. Henderson turned pro at 17 and joined the LPGA Tour in 2015. “I told her just to stay real to herself, and (with) her family, she’s got great support,” Kane added. “I

wasn’t 19 when I turned pro. I was 29. There’s a big difference in age.” In terms of the pressure Henderson will face playing so close to home, Kane has some advice: “Enjoy it ... Dawn Coe-Jones, who was a dear friend of mine and a Canadian Hall of Famer as well, that we lost (to cancer in 2016). She told me to treat the fans and Canada as the extra club in the bag.” For the full tournament schedule and for ticket details, visit cpwomensopen. com.

Home club advantage Kane is also no stranger to playing the Hunt, having competed there in 1994 and again in 2008 – the only two times the club has hosted the national women's championship.

“There will be nine holes very familiar to everyone, and there will be nine holes that will be most familiar to Brooke,” Kane said in an interview with Metroland Media, referring to Henderson’s membership at the club. “Then it’s just having the comforts and then also the discomforts of playing at home,” Kane said of the pressures that come with playing in front of a hometown crush of fans. The weeklong event is expected to draw more than 70,000 spectators. Those aged 17 and under can watch for free.

“There’s a lot of demands, but nothing that she can’t handle and I can’t handle, she said. “As part of CP’s team, I’m hoping I can help take some of the burden that she’s going to feel being the hometown girl,” said Kane, a member of the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame. “Let’s face it. Smiths Falls isn’t far from here. “They’ll merge here,” she said of Smiths Falls and area residents, “and that’s exciting.” Henderson has looked up to Kane for years, and reached out to her role model for advice when
