Demolition derby highlights MD fundraiser in Montague Howaida Sorour hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community - Coming up on July 12 there’s a community event unfolding at Montague Township. “It’s a community festival that supports the community firefighters’ Muscular Dystrophy boot drive,” said Craig Barr, volunteer firefighter and chair of the Muscular Dystrophy committee. While the Montague firefighters do pretty well with their annual boot drive, in spite of the rambling geography of the township, “ they like to give it a little extra push. Years ago we thought we’d

just add something to the boot drive to make it a community event,” said Ron Haskins, Montague fire chief. In its ninth year the Montague Ramble is becoming an annual tradition. The event kicks off at noon with a charity barbecue and beer garden provided by the firefighters, with food and drink available all day, at the Montague Township grounds. “From 1 until 2 p.m. there’ll be the demolition derby in the derby pit at the rear of the Montague Township office,” said Barr.

Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim Wilson, seen here in this June 12 election night file photograph from the Collingwood Connection, is the new interim leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. ing re-elected to the speaker’s role he has held since 2011. While the race for speaker was spirited – and took up most of the afternoon of July 2 – Hillier was shocked at how he and his fellow MPPs were sworn in as a group, something he had not seen when he was sworn in previously in 2007 and 2011. “Historically, the swearing-in is a pretty significant occasion,” said Hillier. For his inaugural swearing-in in 2007, “it was a substantive and eventful event in my life… swearing in as a group, nobody knows if anyone swore… I found that to be a disturbing diminishment of one’s office. I think that the oath of office is something that should be taken seriously.”

candidate to permanently replace Hudak. Other MPPs believed to be interested are Nepean-Carleton’s Lisa MacLeod, LambtonKent-Middlesex’s Monte McNaughton, and Nipissing’s Vic Fedeli. In his first comments after being elected interim leader, Wilson told reporters that caucus had not been listened to for many years, and that he wanted to begin to change that, something Hillier agrees with, “absolutely, without a doubt,” saying that, on that issue, he and Wilson were “speaking from the same hymn book.” While it did not take too long to count 28 ballots, the race for speaker went to three ballots with five candidates vying for the job, including Liberal MPP Dave Levac (Brant) – who ended up be-

News – For the second time, it wasn’t meant to be for Randy Hillier to become the leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party. Hillier was one of three Tory MPPs vying to be the caretaker leader to replace outgoing leader Tim Hudak on July 2. The Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MPP had run for the permanent leader’s job following John Tory’s resignation in 2009, was defeated in his run for the interim leadership that day by Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim Wilson, 51, who has been an MPP since 1990. Hudak stepped down following his party’s poor showing in the June 12 provincial election, when the party lost nine seats. Hillier and Wilson were joined in the race by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski, who vied for votes in the 28-member caucus. “I don’t see elections as being a win and lose situation,” said Hillier last Friday, July 4. “I see it as people making a choice and there is never anything wrong with people making a choice.” Now that Wilson is in charge, albeit temporarily, Hillier estimated that the Tory shadow cabinet will be shaken up in September in time for the fall session – a shuffle that could include Hillier returning from the political wilderness to a critic position. “I’ve been asked what position I want,” said Hillier. “There will be new critic roles, in all likelihood.” In the meantime, “I’m focusing all of my energies and efforts on rebuilding and reforming the party.” Hillier and fellow Tory MPP Jack MacLaren had expressed hope that a leadership race for a permanent leader would be held anywhere from six months to a year from now. Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott is the first declared

He also objected to the house being recalled so soon after the election for a rare summer sitting. In fact, so quickly was it recalled that the MPP for Thornhill, Gila Martow, was not able to take part in the election

for speaker as she only won her seat by 85 votes, which is undergoing a judicial review. “There is no requirement for the house to be recalled so quickly,� he said, though Finance Minister Charles Sousa is due to put the very same budget he presented on May 1 to the house again later this month (the very same budget the New Democratic Party rejected, triggering last month’s provincial election.)

On July 3, Hillier and his fellow MPPs attended the delivering of the Speech from the Throne by outgoing Lt. Gov. David Onley. “I was shocked when I was listening to the throne speech,� said Hillier.

Charity golf tournament scores big for CDSBEO students

Sports - The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) hosted the seventh annual Good Samaritan Trust Fund (GSTF) Golf Tournament on Friday, July 4, at the Upper Canada Golf Course. The tournament raised more than $25,000 to help CDSBEO students in need. Established in 2007, the Good Samaritan Trust Fund offers financial support to board students and their families. The fund offers provisions in situations that cannot be remedied by organizations such as food banks, snowsuit funds, or breakfast clubs. It fills a support void that is not defined or

restricted to one specific need. Director of Education, Wm. J. Gartland, expressed his thanks to tournament supporters, “This tournament has become our flagship fundraiser for this important cause. It is essential for us to be able to provide this unique support system for our students, and their families.� Jamie Mannion, GSTF committee chair, thanked those in attendance for their contribution to the fund, “It is tough to see the difficulties that face some families. The need throughout the regions of the board is extraordinary, and we thank you all for your

help in allowing us to provide support to those who have nowhere to turn.� The CDSBEO would like to thank the many sponsors who helped make the tournament a success. The board is also appreciative to prize donors, volunteers, and supporters of the tournament and silent auction. For more information on how to support the Good Samaritan Trust Fund, please visit www. cdsbeo.on.ca, or contact CDSBEO Communications Officer Amber LaBerge at 613-258-7757 ext. 272, or 613-485-0268 (mobile). The Catholic District School Board of East-

ern Ontario operates 40 elementary and 10 secondary schools across 8 counties. The CDSBEO offers excellence in Catholic education through provincial-leading programs to approximately 13,000 students. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

Public health reminder: West Nile virus, risks, symptoms News – Warmer weather is here and it’s more important than ever to protect yourself from pesky mosquito bites. Not only are bites uncomfortable, but the mosquito that bites you may also give you West Nile virus. Although the chances of contracting the virus are generally low, there are still risks. There are simple and effective measures you can take to reduce these risks. As you prepare to spend time outdoors, learn more about West Nile virus and how to prevent it. West Nile virus is mainly transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito.

It can affect all age groups. Risk to Canadians For most Canadians, the risk of getting infected is usually low because relatively few mosquitoes are infected with West Nile virus. The risk of being infected can fluctuate from year to year. Overall, the risk is greatest during the warm summer months. In Canada, this can start as early as mid-April and last until the first hard frost in late September or October. The majority of human infections occur between July and early September.

Champions reaches the $1 million fundraising mark just raising funds, we’re making moments for these children in dance, in soccer, in hockey and in music that students will cherish for the rest of their lives. We are making childhood dreams come true.” The milestone was celebrated with cake and balloons at the end of the banquet to mark the occasion. During the interview, Thomas spoke of the foundation’s inception in January 2008. The director of education for the Upper Canada District School Board had been talking with a young man who could no longer afford to enroll his children in hockey because of home repairs he could not put off. The family was struggling to make ends meet, and Thomas and a group of his friends pooled their resources and ensured that the two boys could enroll in hockey that year. Taking his cue from another educa-

tional foundation he was involved with, Thomas worked with a group of dedicated volunteers to form Champions for Kids. Many of those volunteers are still with the foundation today. The charity raises funds to help children play sports, enjoy arts activities such as piano lessons and dance, and help parents with additional costs they may be facing to take

a sick child for treatment out of town – such as meal and fuel expenses. Since its inception, Champions has helped hundreds of youth and their families. The celebration was the highlight of a successful tournament that raised an estimated $50,000 to help the Foundation reach the million dollar mark. The total was gained through sponsorships, golf

fees, and funds generated through a live and silent auction at the event. The top team at the tournament was the foursome of Ray Lumsden, Kevin Beattie, Keith Fraser, and Bill Lumsden, who shot a team score of -21. The prize for most sportsmanlike team went to Val Allen, Susan Edwards, Sydney Collard and Ben Allen.

Upper Canada District School Board Champions For Kids Foundation President David Thomas officially announced Wednesday night that the charity had actually passed the $1 million fundraising mark after less than seven years. Officials with the charity celebrated the milestone during the banquet at the seventh annual Champions for Kids Foundation golf tournament, held at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. “I can tell you that I feel like a million bucks,” said Thomas. “When we started this foundation we had hoped we would reach this milestone but I never dreamed it would be this quickly. It just goes to show you how caring our staff, students, community businesses and area residents are when it comes to helping kids enjoy their childhood. “We all win here because we’re not

News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) announced that it will begin using a science-based, standardized mental health screening form across the province which will help frontline officers articulate, in medical terms, why a person is being brought to a hospital for psychiatric assessment. “I am pleased to announce the OPP is launching this science-based tool to improve our communication with health care professionals, which will help people in crisis get the care they need, when they need it,” said OPP Commissioner J.V.N. (Vince) Hawkes. The Brief Mental Health Screener (BMHS) is the result of a collaborative partnership between the OPP, University of Waterloo and interRAI, a network of researchers in over 30 countries committed to improving care for vulnerable populations, including persons with mental illness. InterRAI has developed assessment instruments for emergency care, nursing homes, home care, mental health and intellectual disabilities, among others. “The Brief Mental Health Screener is a scientifically-sound tool that will help police

officers identify mental health issues. It will increase their ability to collaborate effectively with mental health professionals,” said Dr. John Hirdes, chair of the interRAI Network of Excellence in Mental Health and Professor, School of Public Health and Health Systems, University of Waterloo. “Tools such as the Brief Mental Health Screener enhance the transfer of care of a person in a mental health crisis, leading to better outcomes for individuals when they need it the most,” added Camille Quenneville, chief executive officer (CEO), Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario Division. “We’re pleased the OPP is taking steps to help officers improve interaction with those living with mental health issues and we look forward to further collaboration on this issue.” The BMHS is based on the interRAI Mental Health assessment system, a comprehensive standardized instrument mandated in 2005 by the Ontario Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care for use with all patients admitted to an Ontario hospital for inpatient psychiatric care. The BMHS has been evaluated through

an OPP pilot project and will improve police response to people experiencing a mental health crisis. It will also assist officers in dealing with these situations and serves as a positive example of community mobilization in action. “Ontario’s hospitals rely heavily on strong partnerships with community services, and so we welcome the adoption of the Brief Mental Health Screener by the Ontario Provincial Police. It is a useful tool that can enhance communications, support collaboration between police officers and health care professionals and bring a more seamless system of care to patients. We are encouraged by the work that’s underway across Ontario to adopt tools like the BMHS,” stated Anthony Dale, president and CEO of the Ontario Hospital Association. OPP detachment commanders will soon be seeking partnerships with Ontario hospitals to implement use of the BMHS. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

Hobbs promoted to UCDSB’s superintendent of Human Resources Operations News – A veteran manager who helped revitalize the Upper Canada District School Board’s information technology (IT) and facilities departments will add Human Resources to his portfolio. Jeremy Hobbs, current chief information and facilities officer, has been promoted to superintendent of human resources and operations effective Sept. 1. He will replace current Superintendent of human resources Charlotte Patterson, who retires in August. The 41-year-old father of one is excited about the promotion. “I think it’s pretty great,” said Hobbs. “I feel that our teams have overcome quite a few hurdles (in facilities and IT) and that those departments are performing well. They are ready to move forward and we have a solid agenda in place for their success. “I look forward to this new role. Seventy to 80 per cent of our board’s annual budget is spent on staff in general and it’s hard not to see this as a big opportunity to contribute to the

board’s learning agenda,” he added. He says his varied management experience over the years has helped him become adaptable to change and new challenges. “I think my experience and qualifications will help,” said Hobbs of his ability to perform his new role. “I’ve kind of made a career out of not being a technical expert in the fields I manage, but having the ability to set a vision for my departments, to facilitate change and to realize that vision.” The lifelong sailor graduated from the University of Ottawa with a Bachelor of Science Degree in 1994, and then a Bachelor of Education in 1995. He earned a Master’s of Business Administration from Athabasca University in 2010. The Brockville native began his career in education in 1996 when he started teaching with the Ottawa- Carleton District School Board. He worked as a teacher until 2000, when he assumed the role of information technology coordinator for that board’s central office. In

Coombs takes on new role with UCDSB News – A veteran educator with the Upper Canada District School Board has been promoted to the new position of superintendent of school operations. David Coombs, current superintendent of school effectiveness, will assume the new position Sept. 1 as part of a reorganization of the management structure at the board. Coombs will be tasked with supervising a range of issues such as safe schools, school and student supervision, school audits and school reviews, and parent involvement. While he currently has regional control over some of these duties, he now assumes leadership for them over all 10 families of schools. “It will give me the opportunity, with principals from the families of schools and other senior team members, to work towards a system that is more streamlined, more efficient and more user-friendly both for parents and the community,” he said. “It’s a big change, but it’s an exciting change.”

Coombs will develop new strategies to make improvements that will have a real impact on student achievement and wellness, such as determining ways students can ethically take full advantage of the Internet in their learning. “The classroom is no longer the wellspring of knowledge. We now have access to all the information we want online, but we still need to coach our students in the effective use of that information to solve problems, to think critically, and to act ethically for success,” Coombs added. Coombs began teaching in 1989 in a private school in Mississauga called Mentor College. From 1991 to 1994 he worked in Baffin Island in the town of Igloolik in what is now Nunavut. From 1994 to 1998 he taught in Moosonee and James Bay, and then transferred to Red Lake, Ontario as a vice principal from 1998 to 1999. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

2001, he took on a special assignment with the board, working with the director of education to streamline administration. In 2003 he transferred to the Peel District School Board where he worked with the director to transform that board’s IT department. He began with the Upper Canada District School Board in 2004 as chief information officer, and was promoted to his current role in 2007. Hobbs is married to wife Alison, a local entrepreneur, and has one daughter, Emma, 13. Apart from work and family life, he is a Master’s swimmer, a racing sailor and is president of the Upper Canada Swim Club, where his daughter is a member. He is a former member and vice chair of the Brockville YMCA board of directors. Director of education David Thomas said Hobbs will bring a wealth of experience and innovative ideas to the role.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Impact of proposed bill could see small farms disappear DEAR EDITOR:

I have recently become aware of the dire implications for our Canadian food supply buried in Bill C-18, which is about to receive second reading in Canada’s parliament. Contained in the bill are alterations to regulations governing how seed can be cleaned and stored. This affects how farmers have saved seed for thousands of years from one years’ crop to plant the following year. This is referred to as Farmer’s Privilege. Without being necessary to conform to international standards, as we already meet them, the government of Stephen Harper is making changes that invite multinational seed corporations (Monsanto is one of them) to sell ‘approved’ seed to farmers who, also due to these changes, will find it difficult to save their seed legally. Because the seed the corporations are purveying are IP (Intellectual Property) and protected by legal means, the seed company can potentially charge not only for

the seed, which is normal practice, but also impose fees for the season’s processes, such as fertilizing, harvesting, and selling crops. In addition, any neighbouring farm that receives pollen blown over from an IP protected plant becomes subject to the same fees. The likely environmental damages from these seeds include: increased monoculture and subsequent loss of plant diversity; the IP plants require more fertilizers, which have a greater impact on our ground water; IP seed is genetically modified (GMO), which runs counter to the growing movement amongst Canadians for healthy, locally grown food. The impact of this bill could see our small farms disappear because of a far greater debt-load from increased costs, fees and fertilization. There is a wealth of information available on the National Farmer’s Union site (nfu.ca). Look for Stop Bill C-18. See LETTER page 9

COMMENTARY

Make it a habit

M

ake bicycle safety a habit. Ensuring you do a six-point safety check each time you hop on your two-wheeler will help keep you safe on our roadways. Check your tires, wheels, seat and handlebars, and the brakes to make sure all are working properly. All bikes must be equipped with a horn and brakes that work - this is the law. Protect your head and always wear a helmet. In Ontario the law requires that anyone under the age of 18 must wear a helmet. According to police, failure to wear one may result in an $80 fine. Obey the rules of the road, be alert and listen. Bicycles, by law are bound by the same rules of the road as all motor vehicles. This includes stop signs, yield signs, traffic lights, etc. A person can be charged the same as the driver of a motor vehicle for any of these violations. Using hand signals will also help ensure your safety. Some drivers just don’t see you. Riding in traffic should not even be attempted until you can do so safely, and if you’re just starting out, avoid riding at night. It’s always a good idea to wear bright, reflective clothing, especially at night. Being visible is also a law in Ontario - and that anyone riding a half hour before sunset or half hour after sunrise must have the bicycle equipped with a functioning front and rear light. If this isn’t working (or not equipped), you may see a fine of $35. Another safety precaution, in case of theft, police advise to record the serial number of your bicycle for identification purposes. The month of July is bicycle safety month and part of the Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) of the Smiths Falls Police Service.

ifestyle - The sun was just staring to come up. Father had roused the brothers, and with great effort they dressed, ate their breakfast in silence, and followed him to the barns. They would head to the back fields...Father walking behind the team, King and Queen. They would have to cross the creek and then the Bonnechere, at the lowest ebb, sloshing across in their work boots to get to the farthest reaches of the farm. There was no bridge to go from the front section of the farm to what Father called “the back 40”, although the acreage across the river was much more than 40. The hay had been mowed into windrows, and now sat in little stacks which the brothers and Father had worked at

water. I would tear up the West Hill like someone possessed, ever aware that I was alone, cut off from Mother at home, and the men working in the fields far away. The field was the biggest on the farm, even bigger than what we called the ‘20 acre field’ that separated our farm from the Thom’s. A rail fence, put up by Father’s great grandfather, circled the field, and a log gate was at one end where Father could take the team in and out when necessary.

I put the basket down and walked slowly towards the hay, and the bird showed its displeasure by swooping in and out of the hay declaring ownership. I knew it was nesting, and knew too, there were either eggs or baby birds deep inside. Before the day was out, that mound of hay would be on the wagon, and the bird’s nest and whatever was in it, gone.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reader addresses issue of smart meters DEAR EDITOR:

On Feb. 14, a Hydro One smart meter installer knocked on my door to inform me that he wanted to replace my analog power measuring meter with a smart meter. This is the third attempt that a Hydro One installer wanted to replace my analog meter, and this was my third refusal to have a smart meter installed on my house. I have four concerns about smart meters and they are: health, privacy, control of you and fire hazard. Therefore, I see no net benefits to myself to have a smart meter. Health Every smart meter transmits information about your power usage just like a cell phone. The smart meter uses powerful bursts of electromagnetic radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation to communicate with nearby smart meters and cell towers and send info back to the power company every few minutes or less. You are living within a microwave environment and your dwelling is acting like a microwave appliance. There is a medical study that shows the cumulative health effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation that causes the breakup of the DNA, birth defects, cancer, blood pressure changes, sleep disturbances, headaches, and more than 100 other health problems. You will also get radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation from the next new appliance that you purchase. The new appliance will have a RFID chip that will communicate with the smart meter and thus exposing you to more radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation. Privacy The smart meter has the ability to collect accurate information of your power usage of each of your individual appliances (spying) and send the information to the power company. In order to accomplish the spying you will be required to replace all your appliances with Energy Star smart appliances that have a RFID chip that will communicate with

cried to Father that there was one haystack that he couldn’t touch, and told him why. Emerson said he was heading right over to the place with the fork, and that would be the end of the bird’s nest. Father told him to stay where he was...there was plenty of work to do at that end of the field. And then Father followed me over to the gate and the haystack where the little bird had nested. He put his finger to his lips, signalling me to be quiet. The bird was frantic, making a lot of noise and going in and out of the hay, hovering, and proclaiming ownership again. Father took my hand and led me towards the opening in the field before he spoke. He said one haystack left in the field would neither make nor break us, and he saw no reason why the bird couldn’t be left alone. I was so overjoyed; I

your smart meter by wireless (WiFi). You will also be required to replace all your plugin receptacles with new RFID chipped receptacles. Then your smart meter will collect data when your washing machine and coffee maker are operating. If you don’t replace your old appliances and plug-ins with new RFID chipped appliances and plug-ins then you could be billed more for using old appliances. This plan is from the Earth Summit 1992 Treaty that is concerned with CO2 emissions that they claim is causing global warming (they now call it climate change as what happened this winter). Control The smart meter has a system of control. First of all, the smart meter will track your power usage at all hours of the day and you will be charged a different price that varies during the time of day. Power consumed at business hours will be charged at a higher price than off business hours. Those that have smart appliances will find that the smart meter will turn off the smart appliance when the power company decides that you are using too much power. Also, your power may be shut off in order transfer the power to another area. This is all part of the plan to integrate North America into a Smart Grid Power System. Fire hazard Smart meters have been causing fires and explosions in different jurisdictions of Canada, United States and Australia. Just in the last few years there were house fires caused by a smart meters in the cities of Pickering, Cobden, Deep River and other areas of Canada. There is a growing demand to ban smart meters across North America. In some of the US states it is optional and in other states there is a state-wide ban.

hugged his overall covered leg, and thanked him over and over again. I gave Father the basket, and he headed back to where the boys were working, and I headed over towards the West Hill and home to tell Mother about the little bird frantically trying to protect its nest. I told her how Father said it would be left alone to hatch its eggs, or feed its babies, whatever the case may be. Mother smiled and said, “That’s just like something your father would do.” And so for the rest of the season, standing alone in that big hay field was one small mound. It would shrink in size. It would turn brown from the sun, but it would have served as a safe haven to a little bird who called it home. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Making the minimum Credit cards are fairly easy to obtain – if your credit score is okay – and convenient. They can also put you in a world of financial hurt, especially when you run up big debt on high-interest-rate cards. You don’t plan to do that, of course, but it can happen almost before you know it especially if you make only the minimum monthly payment. The minimum payment on credit cards is determined either by a percentage of your outstanding balance (usually 2-3%) or a small monthly fee (usually around $10). These are relatively small amounts but if you only pay the monthly minimum, it will take years to pay off your credit card balance. Let’s say you have an outstanding credit card balance of $2,000 with an interest rate of 19.99% and a minimum payment requirement of 3% of the balance. Your initial monthly minimum payment would be $60 and if you make only the minimum payment every month, it would take you 15 years and 3 months to pay off your balance in

Be prepared out on the water Lifestyle – It’s a beautiful day; the sun is shining and you’ve launched your boat for the start of another season on the water. Everyone’s on board, excited about the day ahead, so off you go. The day unfolds as you had hoped it would. Until a problem leaves you dead in the water. It could be that you’ve run out of gas or you’ve had a mechanical breakdown of some kind. What to do? The real question should be “what should I do before I leave the dock?� And the answer is “review your check list.� Many boaters would quickly call up the Canadian Coast Guard for help. “I’m out of gas. Can you rescue me?� “We’ve been anchored and now my engine won’t start. Can you rescue me?� The perception that is all too common among boaters in Canada is that the Coast Guard not only saves lives but assists boaters who are stranded. The Coast Guard, in other words, is a water-based version of the Canadian Automobile Association. Scott Miller, a maritime search and rescue coordinator with the Canadian Coast Guard says this is a real problem for his people. Yes, he says, the Coast Guard will come to someone’s aid if they’re having mechanical problems or have run out of gas. But only if there is imminent danger to them or their vessel. In other words, if your tanks have simply run dry but the weather is fine and your vessel isn’t drifting towards rocks or any other kind of danger, then, Miller says, the Coast Guard won’t come directly. “We issue a marine assistance radio broadcast and if a towing company or a vessel of opportunity answers it, then we won’t be towing.� Miller says there’s a very good reason for this. Seventy-five to 80 per cent of calls for help to the Coast Guard are non-distress calls; the most common ones deal with boats that have broken down or run aground or have just run out of gas – far and away the most common call to the Coast Guard. Running aground is the next most common issue, Miller says. “What we often hear from the boater is ‘that rock wasn’t here last year’. We see an awful lot of boaters who have no charts or, if they do, they don’t know how to read them or they don’t know how to work their GPS. We’ve even seen some boaters trying to navigate with road maps!� Mechanical failures can strike any boater, any time. That’s just part of boating. And it’s not necessarily an indication that the boater has simply failed to properly look after the boat. But Miller says the Coast Guard often finds

that those who break down do so repeatedly. “And when we investigate, we find the boat is in total disarray down below,� he said. The most common calls for help to the Coast Guard are all based on situations that are entirely preventable by the boat owner. In the past, the Coast Guard responded to all these calls. But their resources for dealing with real emergencies were constantly being stretched thin. The US Coast Guard made it official years ago that they will no longer conduct tows – except in life-threatening or dangerous situations. That has Tiffany Lepack/METROLAND spawned a number of towing operations to spring Community - A member of the Tunis Shriners has a ‘bath’ during the Pakenham up in the United States. So American boaters are pre-Canada Day parade on June 30. forced to call and pay for a private tow if they run out of gas or break down and are not in any immediate danger. Can we expect the Canadian Coast Guard to adopt a similar policy? “Presently, the policy with the Canadian Coast Guard is to defer towing vessels that are not in distress or in non-potential distress situations to commercial tow operators which means if you are the skipper of that vessel you best be prepared to

pay for the tow,� says Miller. Now let’s say you are a responsible owner – as most owners in Canada are. You have maintained your vessel and it has plenty of fuel on board for your trip. You’ve even filed a sail plan describing in detail where you are going and when you expect to arrive and you have left your sail plan with a responsible individual for safe keeping. Excellent. Just make sure that any contact number you put on that sail plan is a number where someone can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “Don’t put your office number down,� says Miller. If the Coast Guard calls and the phone isn’t answered, a contact number isn’t much good. And, at journey’s end, he says, let everyone know that you are where you should be and everything is fine. Perhaps your best way to be prepared every time is to review your check list before you leave the dock – fuel, battery, charts, weather, instruments, safety equipment, lifejackets on, etc. You could start making that list now if you don’t already have one It’s all simple common sense, isn’t it? Preventative medicine. And it can go an awfully long way to ensuring that every time you venture out on your boat, you will be safe and you will return safely as well.

Important to be aware of food safety for older adults, Health Canada warns News – Health Canada is reminding Canadians of the importance of food safety for older adults. As we age, it becomes harder for our immune systems to fight off harmful bacteria. This means that older adults can come down with a serious illness if they eat contaminated food. For this reason, it is very important for older adults, and those who prepare food for older adults, to pay close attention to food safety when handling and preparing food. To minimize the risks of foodborne illness, older adults and caregivers should follow the four key steps to food safety: cook, clean, chill and separate. Cook Always cook food to the safe internal temperatures. You can check this by using a digital food thermometer. Colour alone is not a reliable indicator that meat is safe to eat. Meat can turn brown before all the bacteria are killed. Clean Properly clean anything that comes in contact with the food (your hands, kitchen surfaces and utensils, reusable grocery bags. This will help eliminate bacteria and reduce your risk of foodborne illness. In addition, fruits and vegetables should be washed under running water that is suitable for drinking.

Separate It is important to always separate your raw foods, such as meat and eggs, from ready-to-eat foods, such as cooked meat and vegetables, to avoid cross-contamination.

Caution: older adults should also pay close attention to what they are eating. Some foods are at a higher risk for foodborne bacteria than others. Avoid non-dried deli meats, such as bologna, roast beef, and turkey breast unless they are fully cooked. Avoid hot dogs straight out of the package. Make sure to cook hot dogs until they are steaming hot before eating them. Don’t eat raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish or seafood. Avoid refrigerated smoked fish or seafood. Avoid unpasteurized juice, cider and milk. Avoid all soft and semi-soft cheeses made from raw or unpasteurized milk. Avoid refrigerated pâtés and meat spreads and uncooked foods made from raw or unpasteurized eggs. Also, avoid raw sprouts such as alfalfa and mung beans. It is estimated that there are approximately 11 million cases of foodborne illnesses in Canada every year. Many of these cases could be prevented by following proper food handling and preparation techniques.

Nothing is more Canadian than a moose with a Canadian flag, there was no horsing around with these ponies and the big green tractor hit the streets.

BarnDoor Productions’ The Country Wife: Uproarious comedy continues two-decade tradition farce; in fact, its racy and saucy take on domestic life in Restoration England created a reaction that resulted in the show being kept off the stage from about 1720 to 1923, when his portrayal of aggressive women and flighty youth seemed to fit right in to the age of flappers and jazz. Since then, the show has regained a reputation as a genuinely funny, laugh-out-loud classic that stands up very well on the modern stage. A notorious ladies’ man, in order to increase his access to the ladies around him, spreads the false rumour that he has suffered the, ahem, “French� disease and is no longer interested in ladies. Now that he is a “safe� man, the tired old husbands around him send their young wives and relatives to him for safe-keeping. It’s a show that was such a biting send-up of life in Restoration London that it roused a lot of ire when it premiered in 1673, along with sold-out houses because it is simply hilariously funny. Of course, farce depends on the quality of its performances and BDP’s cast of 13 includes

both veterans and newcomers in a high-energy production that moves like lightning, with not a wasted moment from start to finish. Clocking in at well under two hours, including an intermission, it must be one of the tightest and slickest classic scripts around. The show is set in the original period of the 1670s making it a treat for the eyes with costumes from the “Three Musketeers� period, but staged in the simple style of the time: a set of wooden panels with two doors and a few pieces of furniture comprising most of the set. It’s the onstage action that keeps the interest high, and BDP has a long reputation for providing that. The production’s run is a little unusual, with a set of three performances beginning July 25, then a week off with the Academy For Musical Theatre scheduled to present performances in the Full Circle Theatre, then a final set of four performances Aug. 7 through 10. Before that, and during that, lovers of music can catch a couple of rare treats. On July 12, The Pacific Tunesmiths Tour comes to Perth, featuring Australia’s David

Tickets for both performances can be obtained at www.ticketsplease.ca. The Country Wife will run July 25, 26, Aug. 7, 8, 9 at 7:30 p.m. and July 27 and Aug. 10 at 1:30 p.m. at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park.

Entertainment – Perth’s original community theatre, BarnDoor Productions, continues its nearly 20 year tradition of presenting classic scripts in high-energy productions with their 2014 offering, William Wycherly’s bawdy, uproarious 1670s comedy, The Country Wife, running at the Full Circle Theatre July 25 through Aug. 10. BarnDoor Productions is coming up on its 20th anniversary season and, since their first season, the group have tried to include at least one classic play in their lineup. From light comedy, such as Molière’s The Imaginary Invalid, to the deepest drama, such as their 2005 production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and even a classic musical in the 1727 grandfather of all musicals, The Beggar’s Opera, BDP have brought exciting, vibrant life to some classic plays, beginning outdoors and now in their home at Full Circle Theatre. As always, BarnDoor tries to push the envelope and this year, it’s with a script that was, effectively, banned for over 200 years. Wycherley’s Restoration comedy could be considered the first sex

Classic Kiwi Garden tour matinees blooming Community - As one of many of its outreach tourism strategies, the Classic Theatre Festival has partnered with the renowned Kiwi Gardens in a package that is drawing interest from horticultural societies, tourists, and locals alike. The Classic Kiwi Garden Tour Matinee Special, being offered on July 17 and Thursday, Aug. 14, offers individuals a tour of the well-known Kiwi Gardens in two very different settings along with a 20 per cent discounted ticket to a Classic Theatre Festival matinee. “Whether it is promoting our restaurants, accommodations and shops to a wider audience or focusing on some of the great attractions we have in the area, especially a gem like Kiwi Gardens, we are working to promote Perth for all it has to offer, with the benefit that tourist dollars will flow into the area, our brand as a preferred destination will continue to grow, and we can help sustain the local economy by offering innovative and fresh ideas for travellers to have new reasons to come here,” says the Festival’s Associate Producer Matthew Behrens. Those who take in the hour-long Classic Kiwi Garden Tour Matinee Special at 10:30 a.m. will not only enjoy both the natural beauty and artwork

(with a Pre-Show Talk that begins at 1:30 p.m.). The 10-acre Kiwi Gardens is a Lanark county landmark that displays mature gardens that showcase a wide variety of what can be considered spectacular perennials, tucked between which are a series of art installations that give new dimension to the natural landscape, as do the stone walls and winding pathways. Visitors often remark on the calm and scenic environment. Kiwi Gardens also hosts a well-stocked nursery, with over 1,000 different varieties of perennials, along with annuals, tropicals, and artistic planters. “One of the great things about Kiwi Gardens is how the artwork is so perfectly placed that it seems to have almost sprung from the ground as one more natural wonder,” says Behrens, who notes the Gardens annually host Art in the Garden in June. “And because the Gardens undergo such dramatic changes from month to month, people who want to do the tour twice can get different perspectives in August and still enjoy the discounted matinee at the festival, which then will be the classic

D R DUNLOP WO NEW

News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has made another move to improve efficiency within one of the largest deployed police services in North America. This week the OPP unveils a new online reporting system that will enable the public to report specific occurrences from a computer. Citizen Self Reporting will offer the public another way to report select incidents that are not an emergency, by completing a report online at their convenience. The OPP is one of several Ontario police services who have

adopted an Internet-based crime reporting system where people can report certain crimes such as lost property, theft from vehicles, and property damage, without an officer having to be dispatched. Only occurrences that do not involve an injury, a suspect or evidence are applicable. An officer will attend if requested by the complainant. It is expected that Citizen Self Reporting will be beneficial to both the public and the police. It will provide a convenient alternative to the citizens of Ontario, while allowing frontline officers

Health Canada highlights dangers of marijuana use News – Recently, Health Minister Rona Ambrose hosted a roundtable with representatives of the healthcare community and research experts to discuss the scientific evidence of the risks associated with the use of marijuana by youth, especially over the long term. This meeting builds on an announcement where Ambrose announced funding for A Health Promotion and Drug Prevention Strategy for Canada's Youth – a national project led by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA). The goal of this project is to prevent illicit drug use, including marijuana, among Canadians between the ages of 10 and 24 through education, national prevention standards and building sustainable partnerships. "As health minister, I am standing side by side with medical professionals and researchers with a clear message. There are serious health risks for youth associated with marijuana. It is not safe. It should not be promoted or endorsed,” Ambrose said. “Together, with our partners we will work to make sure youth and parents have the right information about the risks associated with smoking and using marijuana." Smoking and using marijuana can be dangerous and harmful to health. It is not an approved drug or medicine in Canada and Health Canada does not endorse or promote the use of marijuana. "Research has shown the negative impact of marijuana on developing minds. As a child psychiatrist, I have seen firsthand the tragic consequences on young Canadians,” said Dr. Gail Beck, member, Canadian Medical Association board of directors. “We need to do more, and the Canadian Medical Asso-

ciation encourages a public health approach that includes a nationwide marijuana cessation campaign to ensure our youth are aware of the real risks and harms associated with marijuana usage." Quick facts • Marijuana contains hundreds of substances, some of which can affect the proper functioning of the brain and body. • Regular, long-term marijuana use in youth can harm concentration, memory, the ability to think and to make decisions, and IQ. Some of these effects may persist after stopping marijuana use. • Marijuana use may sometimes produce anxiety or nervousness, paranoia, fear or panic. • Marijuana can be addictive. • Today's marijuana is stronger than marijuana from many years ago and could put health at a greater risk of harm. • There is scientific evidence of the risks associated with the use of marijuana by youth. "The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse was pleased to participate in the (April 30) roundtable with Minister Ambrose and some of Canada's leading scientists and researchers to discuss the health risks that marijuana poses for young people. We will continue to work with Health Canada and other partners, and through our Health Promotion and Drug Prevention Strategy for Canada's Youth, to provide factual, coordinated and consistent information to help prevent marijuana use among Canadian youth,” said Michel Perron, chief executive officer of the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse.

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

News – The Public Health Agency of Canada is collaborating with provincial public health partners to investigate an outbreak of salmonellosis related to snakes and rodents used to feed reptiles, such as mice, also known as feeder rodents. The risk to Canadians is low, but anyone who is around snakes and their food could be at risk if they don’t take proper precautions to protect their health. Outbreaks associated with reptiles and feeder rodents have been seen in Canada, the United States and countries throughout Europe. Reptiles and the rodents used to feed them can carry salmonella bacteria but appear healthy and clean and show no signs of illness. Even having indirect contact with these animals or their environments can put you at risk for developing salmonellosis, for example, children playing in a room where a reptile was previously allowed to roam. In 2014, there have been 18 illnesses reported in Ontario. Three cases were hospitalized and have recovered. No deaths have been reported. Who is most at risk? Canadians who are particularly at risk for infection include babies, children five and under, pregnant women, the elderly and those with weaker immune systems. Young children are at higher risk of infection because they often enjoy handling and interacting with reptiles and may not wash their hands before putting their fingers or other contaminated items in or near their mouths. If infected, young children are also at increased risk for serious illness because their immune systems are still developing. What you should do The best way to protect yourself from developing salmonellosis is to practise good hygiene while caring for and cleaning up after your reptile. Rodents and reptiles carry salmonella as a normal part of their gut and can shed these bacteria into their environments. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after handling rodents, reptiles or anything in the area where they live or were handled. Any surface that a reptile or rodent (live or frozen) touches is considered contaminated and therefore needs to be cleaned with soap or disinfected with bleach. The habitat and contents of a reptile tank should be carefully cleaned outside of the home. Submitted by the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Eco gardens attract more than butterflies tolerant, slow-growing and lowheight turf grasses, fescues, and broadleaf species such as clover. The design possibilities for an eco-friendly front garden are endless. However, if you find the whole process overwhelming, consider hiring a landscape designer to draw up your plans. Many garden centres will provide this service for free or at a reduced rate if you buy the plants from them. A colourful spring garden can be a feast for the eyes after a long winter and can also be part of the plan to create a great first impression for your home. If you are planning on selling your home, be sure to speak to a realtor to learn more about the trends that can help make your home more attractive inside and out.

gardening and your local garden centre will have plenty of advice to share as well. Once you have a basic plan or layout, you can begin selecting plants for your garden. Look for native plants (plants that are common to your area) which tend to be hardier, more drought tolerant and pest resistant. Some common types of flowering plants include daylilies, Shasta daisy, coneflower, and Black-eyed Susan. Many of these plants are perennials which you will enjoy year after year. You can then use annuals to add splashes of colour throughout the season. Ornamental grasses have become very popular in gardens as well. Not only are they lowmaintenance and water-saving, they also look great year round. Another popular gardening trend is replacing grass with stone pavers or pebbles. Great green expanses of lawn are real water hogs that require constant mowing and maintenance. If you prefer grass, go for a low-maintenance lawn which is made up of a diverse mix of hardy, drought-

Lifestyle – Part of a realtor’s job is to stay up to date on what helps make a house attractive to potential buyers. On the list of hot trends realtors are spying these days is the eco-friendly garden. Many homebuyers are keen to purchase a home with a “green” garden for several reasons. First, eco-friendly gardens tend to be low-maintenance so less work and upkeep. Eco-gardens can also be economical and kind to the environment by using less water and inexpensive natural methods of pest-control and fertilization. “A well-tended garden can add great curb appeal to a home,” says Costa Poulopoulos, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). “For the environmentally friendly buyers out there, an eco-friendly garden can be an attractive selling feature.” Creating an eco-friendly garden is just like creating a regular garden in that you need to start with a plan. There are plenty of tips on the internet for eco-

tive director of the Canadian Parks Council. “The Canadian Parks Council is ready to join forces with others, to create new opportunities that will help maximize the many benefits of personally experiencing nature.” During the meeting, the ministers further agreed to collaborate

in developing a passport to parks, to build on existing digital tools that make it easier for Canadians to visit their parks and share best practices to expand programs such as learn-to-camp activities in more jurisdictions. Submitted by the Canadian Parks Council.

News – Canada’s parks ministers have committed to work together to creatively and collaboratively inspire Canadians to experience nature through parks in ways that support their health and well-being. The action was prompted by the first-ever comprehensive evidence-based report in Canada that chronicles the many proven benefits of spending time in nature. “Canada is fortunate to have a rich array of parks that are recognized for supporting our overall well-being, and for providing direct benefits to communities through job creation, recreation and tourism opportunities. Our government is committed to working with our partners to find ways to encourage and support Canadian families to connect with nature from coast to coast to coast,” stated Leona Aglukkaq, Canada’s Environment Minister and Minister responsible for Parks Canada.

Giving back in unexpected ways Howaida Sorour hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community - “What we do, come back to us – it not go away,” says Kim Thanh Luu, with a thick Vietnamese accent. With that firmly held belief, Luu is spreading as much good karma out there as he can. On Thursday July 4, Luu invited the children of five local area families and their parents to meet him at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital – Smiths Falls site - where he told them he had a presentation to make. “I had no clue what was going on,” said TeriLynn Gemmill, one of the parents. Once the families were gathered, Luu gave each child an envelope containing a donation towards a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) and then proceeded to make a $500 donation to the hospital foundation in the names of the gathered children. “I knew he was big on education, but I was taken aback – I thought it was very nice coming from a man who barely knows us – he just knows my dad, who does some yard work for him,” said Tammy Dowdall, another parent. Luu is a Vietnamese immigrant to Canada. He arrived in July 1977 with his young family. He worked hard, put himself through school to become a chef and achieved success. “When he came to Canada he was very welcomed and he feels it’s important to give back

because he’s been very blessed,” explains Lise Smith, executive director, the Smiths Falls Hospital Foundation. He has been performing this same gesture every year since 2007, and adds one or two families each year, expanding on a relationship that began many years ago. “My mom, used to deliver his mail and I sometimes helped her, and for some reason he took a real liking to me and always called me his daughter,” says Jennifer Darby, who has known Luu since she was about 13 years old. Over the years Darby kept in touch with Luu and he attended her wedding and then when her daughters were born Luu set up RESPs for them. “Every year he makes the contribution to their RESPs at the hospital, and makes a donation to the foundation in their names at the same time,” says Darby. His goal he says is to instill in each of the children an appreciation for their community (symbolized by the hospital they were born in), an incentive to continue their education and to achieve success and most importantly to give back to their communities. “I bring them here to remind them where they began and hope they will remember,” says Luu. He also talks to the children and tries to instill in them the values he instilled in his own grown children. See GIVING BACK page SF 2

Ferrara subdivision loses designated parkland to error Howaida Sorour hsorour@perfprint.ca

News - A clerical error is making it possible for Park View Homes to provide even less parkland in the Ferrara subdivision than they had originally agreed. “This was not an act of arrogance, actually it’s a disaster for me,” Andrew Cinnamon, developer and president of Park View Homes told council on June 7.

While Cinnamon claims it’s a disaster, he was still not willing to accept town staff recommendation that he give up lot 99 to correct the error which would still honour the intent of the original clause that designated Lot 100 as parkland, namely that it was adjacent to Lot 126 a municipally-owned parcel of green space. “Lot 99 is already conditionally sold and I’ve spent $1.5 million servicing that land so I suggest lot 36, because it’s difficult to build on,” Cinnamon

RUMBLE The derby usually sees about 15 to 20 cars registering to compete according to Barr, and is always entertaining. “Visitors can enjoy a great demolition derby in the afternoon and lots of good music and dancing all evening,” said Bill Dobson, reeve Montague Township. The music kicks off with Country musician Brea Lawrenson who has had a fair bit of airplay recently on the radio. The young Carleton Place

“The secret,” he says,” is try to work hard, to take care of family first and try to help people.” While Luu’s accent is still strong, his body language, his humour, his smile, his enthusiasm and positive energy are hard to ignore. “Happy comes from inside, not from outside; if it come from outside it not stay long, if it come from inside, it not go away,” he told the gathering.

singer/songwriter’s collection of songs, are an entertaining reflection of her experiences and aspirations. Gaining in popularity, Lawrenson’s musical career has taken her across Canada, to Nashville, Tennessee and London, UK. Her performance will be followed at 7 p.m., by Canada’s rockin’ country band, Ambush. Famous for their live performance the band’s trio of Mark McDonell, Riq Turner, and Tom VanCoughnett are a dynamic group of talented performers with a knack for projecting their energy and enthusiasm to the audience.

will just be another park for kids to hang out and do drugs.” That last statement was perhaps ill advised and not well received by all the councillors. “I take offence to that suggestion and I believe we do need the green space in a development of 1,000 residents,” said Councillor Shawn Pankow. “We’re glad to have Park View interested in developing in our town, but we also have certain requirements and we did have a legal agreement.” In the end council decided not to take staff’s recommendation but to accept Cinnamon’s offer of lot 36 - (the full report and map are available under Council Agenda on the town’s website). Later in the evening in a recorded vote in which Pankow was the only ‘nay’ vote, council went on to pass a bylaw to amend the development agreement and give Cinnamon the green light to sell lot 100, develop lot 99 and accepting lot 36 as green space.

Luu is also setting up two bursaries for higher education in the region designed to continue for five years apiece after his death; one at a Smiths Falls school and one at a Perth school, to be awarded to an outstanding student. In the meantime, he intends to continue this small tradition as long as he’s around with the ultimate goal of making a donation to the Smiths Falls Hospital Foundation through his estate after he has passed.

told council. This is a smaller lot that is not adjacent to any other green space and is located at the north east end of the development. Under the original agreement with Park View Homes the town retained ownership of the land until the developer was ready to start construction. In March of this year the building department erroneously issued a building permit for lot 100. That home has now been built and sold - with the new owners expecting to move in on July 27. “I am looking for council direction as there is some urgency, because the closing date for the sale is July 11,” said Niki Mckernan, town planner. It was the purchaser’s lawyer who realized that under the development agreement the lot his clients were buying was registered as parkland and therefore doesn’t have clear title. “This town already has big parks and little parks don’t really add anything,” said Cinnamon. “This

A recorded vote gets only one ‘nay’ Howaida Sorour hsorour@perfprint.ca

News - During the regular Smiths Falls town council meeting of July 7, two announcements made during the meeting. On July 19, a car wash is being held at Krown Rust Control on Franklin Street with all proceeds to the beach donations fund. On July 26, the off leash dog park will be hosting WMD Photography as a fundraiser. Dog owners are invited to bring their dogs down to Bill Davidson for portraits of their dogs with all proceeds going to the dog park.

A bylaw establishing the new fees and charges for ice rates at the arena was also passed and a bylaw authorizing the sale of the 104 Sun Life shares sailed through The only controversial bylaw of the evening was the one authorizing the amendment to the development agreement regarding the Ferrara Meadows development (see story page SF2). This by law was passed with a recorded vote, in which Coun. Shawn Pankow was the only ‘nay’ vote.

A food hub could locate at Gallipeau Centre Howaida Sorour hsorour@perfprint.ca

News - The idea is to bring food producers, processors, buyers and distributors together to merchandise local food - locally. It’s not a new idea; in fact food hubs as they are called are a fast growing phenomena. A 2013 study of food hubs in the U.S. sampled more than 200 operations south of the border. Now they’re popping up in Canada and one is currently being proposed for Lanark, Leeds and Grenville with Smiths Falls as the hub. “Smiths Falls is right in the middle, and we’re looking to the Gallipeau Centre for food processing space,� said Bill Dobson, reeve of Montague Township and member of the Two Rivers Food Hub’s working group. “The former Rideau Regional used to prepare 9,000 meals a day and they have incredible facilities.� In the fall of last year, Eco-Perth and Lanark Local Flavours did a study to gauge the interest in the local farming community for set-

ting up a local food hub. The study partially funded by Valley Heartland was encouraging, and a group under the name of Two Rivers Food Hub was formed last March. The newly minted group has since been actively pulling together a business plan, raising funds, and identifying assets for the hub. “We’re in the developmental phase of setting up the food hub,� said Ray Elgersma, acting chair of Two Rivers Food Hub. The idea is to refurbish the kitchen facilities, and storage capacity at the Gallipeau Centre, a location that’s highly central to the region’s farming community and already well equipped. “It’s a tremendous resource, that has 16 walk-in freezers and coolers, it has cold storage and a meat processing facility,� said Elgersma. There have already been extensive talks with the Gallipeau family who is receptive to the idea. “I think it would be a great addition to the facility,� said Tracy Gallipeau. “What they’re looking

at is the commercial kitchen and food processing facility.� The trick will then be to engage local small- to medium-sized food producers in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, including vegetable, fruit, egg, meat and grain producers and to process, store and distribute the food out of the Gallipeau Centre. “We’ve been talking to restaurants and food retailers and they’re excited,� said Elgersma. Two Rivers Food Hub’s working group realized the need to properly define the hub, set out goals, figure out how those goals could be achieved and how the project could be sustained and marketed as well as structured “We raised the money for a business plan among ourselves,� explained Sarah MacKenzie, the group’s secretary. “We’re now just at the editing stage of our business plan.� The complete business plan defines the hub and how it will operate and the document will be used to guide the next steps and attract

more investors. “Right now we’re soliciting local funding for matching purposes and so far we’ve raised $30,000,� said Elgersma. And that’s before the real fundraising even begins. Already partnered with Rideau Community Health Services, Two Rivers is able to issue tax receipts for donations while also benefiting by being able to access a professional financial officer to help with their bookkeeping. “We hope to have funding in place by the fall, and be up and running by next spring,� said Elgersma. At this stage it’s estimated the food hub will need about $200,000 to get off the ground and as long as they can show they have a viable and sustainable business plan Howaida Sorour/METROLAND and continue to raise funds at the pace they started at, it’s not an insurmountable sum according to Community - It wasn’t just the humans celebrating Dobson.

Art in the Barn, affordable art in all varieties, June 12-13 in Lombardy

worked only in water colours up until two years ago and then moved to acrylic which was quite freeing, because there’s a lot less planning you have to do,” said Gilmore. Those are just three of the artists out of 47, who will be exhibiting at Art in the Barn. Each is incredibly different and they’re not all painters either. Bernie Boudreau will be back with his playful garden sculptures, there will be a potter, wood carving, quilts while the painters will represent a wide range of mediums including batik, oil, acrylic and water colours. Although the art is original, the prices might surprise.

Community - With nearly 50 artists exhibiting at this year’s Art in The Barn, it’s a wonderful opportunity for everyone to experience local art and interact with a very diverse group of area artists. The show will take place at the Lombardy Fairgrounds on July 12 and 13. “It’s a great location for exhibiting our work, because we don’t have to put up tents and we can leave our art work up,” said Gail Knox, exhibiting artist. The show is also a fundraiser for Do it for Daron, a grassroots movement with a mission to create awareness, inspire conversations, and support young people who suffer from the pain and stigma of mental illness. “I think supporting youth mental health is a really good cause,” said Knox who describes her paintings as a mix of representational and abstract art in mixed media. The show will be set up in booths, showcasing each artist within his or her own area, and will be manned by the artists themselves. Visitors will be able to talk to each artist about their work, their inspiration, which in itself is going to be fascinating given the incredible variety of artists taking part this year. There are the self-taught artists like Peggy Orders, whose delightful, luminously humorous paintings of food are bound to surprise and delight. “I like to paint simple everyday things and the challenge is how to make them interesting,” said Orders. Her detailed and beautifully whimsical paintings depict fried eggs, cheese, bacon and pies along with farm animals and all the little critters we live with every day in the country. “I love food and I think food is very beautiful and so that’s what interests me to do,” said Orders. Not a disciplined painter who paints for a set number of hours every day, Orders who live on

So while stationed in the U.K., Gilmore took the opportunity to study under the likes of Mike Chaplin, Ian King and Brian Ryder all giants in the world of water colour painting in the U.K. Still, Gilmore says he didn’t start to paint in earnest until after he’d retired and returned to Canada. “Lately I’ve been doing more local scenes, I

Don’t demonize refugees with ‘cruel, unusual’ cuts

O

pinion – On July 4, the Federal Court struck down as unconstitutional the 2012 decision to deny all but essential, basic health care funding to refugees through the Interim Federal Health Program. According to defence counsel, refugees were unable to get much-needed insulin, serious eye diseases were unable to be treated, and expectant mothers were having troubles finding obstetricians to help them through their pregnancies. There was little, if any, money saved from this program’s cancellation. In fact, for some of these refugee claimants, if they ever get their citizenship, their long-term health problems could now be more serious, perhaps permanent, and could result in higher health care costs for all Canadians. Even if the system is being abused, it is not being abused by all. But all are being punished anyway. In announcing the end of the program in 2012, a spokesman for thenImmigration Minister Jason Kenney said that “Canadians have been clear that they do not want illegal immigrants and bogus refugee claimants receiving gold-plated health care benefits that are better than those Canadian taxpayers are receiving.” There are more than a few problems with what Kenney’s wingman said two years ago, apart from demonizing the other. If they are indeed illegal immigrants, why not deport them, and leave the real refugees be? Also, if the refugee is “bogus,” again, there are tools at your disposal to send them packing. Immigration never has a hard time finding and deporting hard-working, otherwise law-abiding families whose only crime was to jump the cue and live here illegally. Deal with those who are abusing it, not those who need it. The 2012 decision makes rejected refugee claimants eligible for care only when they pose a threat to public health. This presents a risk to the Canadian public because they are at a risk of contamination and spreading disease around. And if they are cagey about seeing a doctor, wondering who will pick up the tab, who makes the determination if they pose a risk? This decision, there is no reason for it, while far more important issues lie crying for attention. One of the frustrating parts of this scandal, is the latent racism at play here. They’re not from here, so they don’t deserve to be treated like us, is one line of thinking. The other is that these people are landing at the airport, and making a bee-line for the welfare office and then a quick hop over to the hospital, to suck the system dry. This urban legend is unhealthy and not based in fact. Granny being brought in from India, or Ireland, or China, has to wait as much as a decade before she can access the Canadian health care system for free. In the meantime, her family must also pick up any welfare costs. There is a very real cost for immigrant families who sponsor their relatives over here. True, the refugee system is different. There are bad apples in the bunch. The Federal Court ruling was unusually direct in its summation. Justice Anne Mactavish wrote that the cuts constituted “cruel and unusual” treatment. Politics being what it is, if it squanders its resources on pettiness now, how will it handle a real crisis, not a made-up one, in the future?

I’m starting to feel like I’ve been through one of those old fashioned wringers several times and may have to go through one more time (yeah I am old enough to remember them!). So what’s the difficulty? Well, this is my last column for the Record News, as my one-year contract is now up. I move on. Before I leave though I want to say thank you to all of you who have been reading the paper and reading my columns. I also wanted to tell you that this past year has been one of the highlights of my career, because Smiths Falls you have fascinated and challenged me, you have educated and energized me, and all in all captivated me. The difficulty is trying to figure out why. I’ve had the privilege of living in a lot of different places. I grew up in Cairo, Egypt as you already know, but I also lived in Malvern, Worcestershire, U.K. for about four years, I lived in Abu Dhabi for two, and in London, U.K. for another year and a half. I lived in Toronto for three years, Ottawa for two and I’ve travelled. I mean really travelled, often stopping for a month or two in places like Geneva, Chamonix, and Villar, Switzerland, in Orlean, Cannes and Paris, France, in Bangkok, Thailand; Rome, Tourino, Venice and Florence, Italy. I’ve travelled through Greece, and Cyprus and

The only reason I can come up with is you – the readers and people of this strange, wonderful, strong, resilient and beautiful community. Yes the emphasis is on community. I have been surprised and delighted with the interconnectedness of this town of 10,000. I was humbled by the welcome you extended to me when I first arrived though I never took it for granted.

You have forced me to question, adopt and discard beliefs and perceptions; you have exhausted and energized me both at once. Your stories have fascinated me whether you’re from here or a transplant. You have touched me, angered me and made me laugh and cry. Best of all you have forced me to dust away the cobwebs of my own complacency and opened my eyes to a reality I had no idea existed – I did not know who you were. In all Smiths Falls you have made me a better reporter and a better person. Though leaving this job, I’m determined to stay in Smiths Falls even if it means re-inventing myself. It wouldn’t be the first time. When I arrived in Canada I had already been an actor who skipped to market researcher, then cartwheeled over to social research, then did a double summersault into silver and goldsmithing, before gliding back to school again to become a journalist. As a journalist, I’ve worked for corporate magazines, international news wires and even written for the Globe and Mail, but heaven help me, I’ve never had so much fun as I’ve had this past year at the Record News in Smiths Falls. Thank you for being you and for reminding me that work can and should be fun and the rewards will reveal themselves.

News - Labouring mothers, who choose to deliver their bundles of joy at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital – Smiths Falls Campus will now be welcomed into the warm and cozy Emilio, Sylvia and Andrew Camara room thanks to a generous donation by Sylvia Camara. “I just wanted to show some appreciation for the town we loved,” Camara told the Record News from her home in Spain. Now in her 70s, Camara is still warm and generous in spirit in spite of the tragedies that haunt her. In the space of just five years between the late 1990s and 2001 Camara lost her husband suddenly to heart disease, her mother to old age and her only child, Andrew to testicular cancer. With no surviving family of her own, Camara makes her home in Spain where her beloved husband Emilio’s family resides and where both he and her son Andrew are buried. “I just want to be buried with my family,” she said simply. Her donation to the hospital foundation had no strings attached, so the foundation decided to use the $50,000 gift to modernize and beautify one of the birthing rooms in the obstetrics ward. “The Camara family started their family here so we thought what better way to honour them than to dedicating a birthing room where new parents are starting their families. We could have done other things but dedicating a birthing room to them seemed the most meaningful way to honour them,” said Lise Smith, executive director of the Smiths Falls Hospital Foundation. The Camara donation went to purchase a fetal heart monitor, a new state-of-the-art, birthing bed and room furnishings that transform the institutional delivery room into a comfortable and welcoming environment complete with a reclining leather chair for the expectant fathers. As it is every room is equipped with a Jacuzzi en suite, a television, fridge and microwave. Camara explained that her husband had left her with a generous insurance policy which, after consulting with her financial advisor and completing a financial plan she realized was far more than she would need for her personal use. “I set up a 10-year donation plan to the cancer society and I specified that it goes to research and hope it did some good. I also donated to CHEO,” said Camara. Making a donation to the Smiths Falls hospital she says wasn’t a hard decision. “I have very fond memories of the community and our life in Canada, we were very fortunate, so if I can help that’s what I hope to do,” she said. According to Coun. Shawn Pankow, who serves on the Hospital Foundation Board and is Camara’s financial advisor, Camara was always a philanthropic soul, but now wants to leave a legacy in health care in Smiths Falls. “Partly because of the what the community did for her family, welcoming them into their midst and enabling them to have a comfortable lifestyle and to enjoy great friendships,” said Pankow. Camara’s generosity and inspirational story seemed to spur other donations as well. The Hamish Store in Balderson donated a $900 rocking chair and Quilts by Victoria in Perth donated an adult quilt for the labouring mother - they already donate a baby quilt to every child born at the hospital. “All these additional touches take the institutional out of the room,” said Smith, “and make it more comfortable for the birthing mother.”

An experienced father Councillor Shawn Pankow pronounced the new reclining chair in the Camara Family Birthing Room perfect for the expectant father. Shown here flanked by Linda Bisonette, president and CEO Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital and Dr. Cecilia Kerner, chief of OB at the hospital in the newly appointed room.

Acceptance of homelessness an uphill battle from coast to coast over again there is one thing he wishes that he had brought with him. “Every now and then I wish I had an escort vehicle, sometimes for safety reasons and other times for sleeping in,” said McComb. “And maybe someone to talk to every now and then at the end of the day would be nice, too.” McComb is showing no signs of slowing down. After leaving Merrickville towards Smiths Falls on June 28 he

accommodations aren’t the only thing interesting about his journey – he has earned the attention of some very important people as well. McComb gave Camilla and Prince Charles one of his Homeless Happens hats in Halifax, met Stephen McNeil, the Premier of Nova Scotia, hung out with the Trailer Park Boys and was even draped in an Olympic gold medal by cyclist and speed skater Clara Hughes in Gander Newfoundland–an act that brought him to tears. He and Hughes share a deep concern for Canadians with mental health issues, especially when they are stigmatized. “Mental illness is huge part

of this, and that’s no secret,” said McComb. “The homeless society, and I use the term society loosely, is the only society in the world that it isn’t politically incorrect to stigmatize or treat awful,” said McComb, who isn’t homeless at the moment but said he has spent 13 of the last 21 years of his life without a home. “You know ‘that bum, that hobo, that lazy person’ – everyone feels they can engage in that type of conversation and there is nothing wrong with it,” he said. “But we are really oppressed and people are further abusing someone who is already in a hurting situation – there is a story behind each one of those people.” McComb’s motto, and the name of the organization he walks for, is Homeless Happens. He enjoys the phrase so much he has “homeless” tattooed down one of his arms and “happens” tattooed down the other. He says he likes how the tattoos strike up conversations. “People always see my tattoo, I often will hold the door open to people with it showing just so that they see it,” said McComb. It is in these conversations that McComb says he gets a feel for how people really feel about the homeless in their community. Some are curious and supportive, others dismissive and even angry towards him. “I have gone through

everything with every type of person in this country,” he said. “We need to take care of each other, whether you are homeless or, and I hate these labels, low class, middle class or high class – we all need to live with each other.” On nothing but his own two feet McComb says he can cover between 45-65 kilometres in a day, except when he was in Newfoundland, a province he has mixed feelings about. “I loved them (Newfoundlanders), they wouldn’t take no for answer, they would send me off with everything except the crisper,” McComb said with a laugh. But the province’s famous rolling hills were a different matter. He said on some days he could only travel 30 km through them. “It sucked, I will never walk that again,” he said, much more serious. Despite all the hardships McComb says he still loves it. “It is gratifying, I don’t know what about it is gratifying, but it gives me time to think and time to be alone,” he said. He got into the habit of walking from his home in St. Thomas to London, Ont., about a 39-km trip, to see a memorial for homeless people who had passed away and said that the act was really profound for him and he started doing other charitable walks. Though if he could do it all

In fact, since setting out on his journey at the Terry Fox Memorial in St. John’s, Nfld., on April 16, McComb has had to lay his head all sorts of places. “I have slept in abandoned vans and apartment building hallways,” he said. “But I have also slept in luxury hotels, when people put me up, tomorrow night I’m in the woods I think.” “(When walking) I do my best to make it to a community because I am very nervous about sleeping out,” said McComb. “I have been cornered by coyotes, I was chased by a moose – I’ve seen it all out here.” He said he doesn’t plan his

“We are all right on the brink,” said McComb. “It could happen to you, it could be a break-up or a fire, it could be one of a million things that will put you into a state of homelessness and more contingency plans need to be in place to take care of these people that are just like you.”

A report by the planning department recommended that the town enter into a site plan control agreement with developer James Barnett to allow him to build a three unit dwelling at 165 Beckwith. “Staff are satisfied that the proposed elevations are consistent with the eclectic character of the neighbourhood,” said Niki McKernan, town planner. According to McKernan, the developer has met all the provisions of the zoning by law and has been very receptive to all of the town’s suggestions as well as the neighbours concerns with regard to the building’s exterior finish and landscaping. “It’s far more attractive than the one we put up before on Brockville and I’m glad we can more forward on this,” said Barnett at the COW.

built at 36 Maple Ave. is going to cost the town some $12,000 to relocate. A permit for a structure that size should never have been issued and council subsequently decided to have it moved to the owner’s other location on 8 Beech St. “By relocating the gazebo to Beech would it be in compliance with that location?” asked Mayor Dennis Staples. “Yes, it’s a much larger site,” said McKernan. Although McKernan circulated a request for quotations to six firms, only one response was received by the town - quoting the job at $12,200 plus HST.

Official Plan McKernan presented the second half of the Official Plan to council and announced that a public meeting is planned for Aug. 7. In this presentation McKernan put forward the new OP’s proposed land use, transportation and implementation of the plan. “The land use promotes a gradual shift away from historic land use patterns of separations and allows for more mixed usage,” said McKernan. According to the planner, the new Correcting an error proves costly OP also looks to conserve established A building permit that was issued in neighbourhoods and maintain their error allowing a gazebo and deck to be character, while at the same time encouraging home-based businesses

though limiting their ability to alter the existing visuals of their surroundings. As she pointed out the ministry’s focus on intensification is also reflected but largely in the manner of improving on what’s already happening in the town. “We’re recommending minimum levels of density for different areas while ensuring access to collector and arterial roads,” said McKernan. There were many aspects of land use covered in the presentation and all in considerable detail what will be available to the public following the initial consultation and direction from council. The transportation section of the OP recognized that the main mode of transportation in a town like Smiths Falls is cars and trucks while allowing for and protecting bicycle and pedestrian traffic. As far as implementation went, the presentation was again brief but comprehensive. It covered everything from zoning that has to be updated to dovetail with the OP within three years, to site plan controls, property standards, and municipal incentives. At the end of the presentation McKernan announced that if council was generally happy with the direction of

DeSalvo, Stanley – who passed away July 14, 2013. Partings come and hearts are broken Loved ones go with words unspoken Deep in my heart a memory is kept For a husband and friend I won’t forget Some day I hope to meet you Some day, I know not when To clasp your hand in a better land never to part again. Lonely is my home without you life to me is not the same This world would be like heaven Just to have you back again In quiet thoughts I live again The days that used to be Rich in kindness, love and care How dear you were to me. I lost my life’s companion A life linked with my own You’re still mine to remember A husband proud to own Many tears I’ve shed since I lost you Many more will continue to fall You took my happiness with you The happiest hours of all. Sadly missed, Jane

Lifestyle – With constant weather woes and cancellations at airports across North America, CAA North & East Ontario (CAANEO) wants to remind travellers to familiarize themselves with their travellers insurance options when booking any getaway. “Dealing with the unexpected is often part of travel these days, but if you are fully prepared to deal with the occasional challenges that may AUCTIONS

options.� Travel insurance can include anything from trip cancellation, trip interruption, travel delay, accidental death or dismemberment, medical and dental care, transportation to/from medical facilities at home or abroad, loss of luggage or personal possessions, to protection against the bankruptcy or default of your cruise line or tour operator. There are a lot of options and a lot of information to go through. In order to make the best and most appropriate decision, CAANEO has a few basic questions and guidelines for travellers to keep in mind when booking travel outside Ontario. The first thing is to investigate what may already be covered before deciding what extras are needed. Personal and work medical plans may offer coverage outside of Canada, however be sure to check and see if any countries are excluded. In some cases even though an individual has medical coverage through work, they may be required to pay out of pocket for treatment or other medical emergency services and then file a reimbursement claim. A good out of province plan will cover costs up front and reimburse providers directly, protecting the traveller from unexpected out-of pocket expenses. Ultimately the traveller will have to decide what is best and most appropriate for them. Along with reconfirming what is covered though existing personal or work coverage, the same should be done for any insurance coverage offered by a credit card. It should not be assumed that a credit card will cover all specifics like travel delays, trip cancellation and interruption. Unless the terms and conditions are accessible and are fully read and understood there is a chance that the user could be exposed to financial loss. When booking a trip, travellers should not hesitate to ask questions to their existing and potential providers and use scenarios to clarify answers until they are satisfied. Some key ques-

tions to ask include: • What is the maximum coverage limit? • Do coverage limits exist on specific benefits? • What pre-existing conditions are not covered? (Regardless of whether or not you are required to fill out a medical declaration). • Do I need to call the assistance line before choosing a hospital or clinic? • Does the cancellation/interruption coverage apply before and after departure? • Are missed connections and other unforeseen travel delays covered? • What services are available on the 24/7 emergency assistance line? (Translators, medical professionals etc.) • If drugs or medical equipment are prescribed are they covered as well? • How will family members be contacted in an emergency? • Can I buy extra coverage to enhance my coverage from work? Booking a trip requires a great investment of money and time, and because of that having the comfort of being covered for any little surprise that may happen can give an individual complete peace of mind before and during their vacation. It is important to remember that financial issues, accidents and emergencies can happen anywhere at any time and everyone should have the right protection and coverage when they travel. For detailed information on the wide range of services available with CAA North & East Ontario, please visit caaneo.ca or in person at any of our storefront locations. CAA North & East Ontario provides roadside assistance to members, along with an extensive array of travel and insurance services designed to suit the individual needs, wants and expectations of our members.

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

2014 2014 “Highest Ranked Compact Car in Initial Quality in the U.S.∆”

Vets ride Community – The Perth Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 244, parking lot was filled with motorcycles on Saturday morning as the third annual SD&G Highway 43 Memorial Ride kicked off on its way through eastern Ontario to Morrisburg. The event honours all veterans and raises funds and awareness for their project – Operation Leave the Streets Behind for the Homeless Veterans Assistance Fund. The fund provides help for Ontario vets for housing, furniture, food and medical care in their time of need. After breakfast hosted by the Legion, the riders took to the streets through Perth, Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Kemptville on the way to Alexandria, then back to Morrisburg where they stopped at the Legion. There were several Legion pit stops along route with prizes for the best poker hand awarded at their destination. The event raised $19,160 last year. Final figures for this year’s ride were not available at press time.

Mosquito Renegades crowned as league champs ljweir@metroland.com

Sports – The Smiths Falls Renegades, Mosquito edition, have been crowned the 2014 minor football league champs. Led by coach Dave Bland, the Smiths Falls Minor Football Association’s squad had a full roster of boys who worked hard all season. The league is a developmental flag and tackle football league with between 550-575 players ages seven to 16 across four divisions that promotes safe contact with all Smiths Falls coaches NCCP trained. Coaches are continually attending various training courses to grow and improve on the level of guidance they are providing players to make their experience as safe, productive and fun as possible, noted Bland. Although SFMFA provides highest quality equipment to players, registration costs are kept low by generous sponsors, donations, game day barbecues and fundraisers. “Our season started off with many scheduling conflicts due to a wet spring. Fields were closed with day to day updates from the league executives making difficult adjustments in an effort to maintain a full season. They did an amazing job,” said Bland. “Our mosquito team started off with a loss of 12-6 against the Beckwith Irish. The boys held their heads high even though they had a tough first game.” By the end of the regular season the Smiths Falls record was four wins

and two losses, standing in second place with the Beckwith Irish on top. The championship games for all levels were hosted in Kemptville by the Kemptville Minor Football Club on Sunday, June 22. Smiths Falls had three teams in the championship playoffs which was a strong showing for the local club. “Unfortunately the Renegade mosquito team was the only successful team to leave this day with the title of league champions although the effort, dedication and team spirit that all players in all levels had given this year truly made them champions in the coaching staff and parents eyes,” said Bland. The Smiths Falls championship game was again against the Beckwith Irish – an extremely strong team scoring first and sending a scare into the boys. At half time the score was not in Smiths Falls favour. The team’s coaches gave the boys a pep talk shining positive light on their season and how they would be proud no matter the outcome of the last game for what they had done so far this year, noted the coach. The boys came out strong in the second half and won the game with the score of 17-6. “As a coach but most importantly a parent, I cannot express how proud I am of the boys and what they have accomplished. They have worked so hard with the many talented coaches volunteering on our team this year that it brings a happy tear to my eye every time I think of them working together as hard as they did to win the championship title,” Bland said.

Coaches include Dave Bland, Alex Westwater, Chris Nesbitt, Joseph Trick, Jared Hayes, Braden Konick, and trainers Jane Doyle and Doug McEwen. “The dedication of their parents/ guardians ensuring they are at every practice and game was exceptional as well with many parents providing a healthy halftime snack or post game treat. “I am equally as proud to be part of a league that promotes healthy activity, positive sportsmanship and respect for others while playing safe. “Keeping the kids busy, interested and off the streets is always a good result.” Bland had kudos for the entire coaching staff, parents and student volunteers who helped coach in such a knowledgeable, positive and professional manner. “Each and every one of the boys on our team are truly great and no doubt will go far in life.”

The simple way to shop for insurance.

By THE BOGEYMAN Sports – Our friends at Wiser’s sponsored the July 3 edition of the Thursday Night Men’s Twilight at the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club, deciding on a fun red, white, and blue scramble. All you had to do was roll the die to see which tee you were hitting from. If you were lucky and rolled red, you had a much shorter hole to play. If you were unlucky and rolled a blue, you had to hit from way back. It was a fun format allowing the players to get a different look at some of the holes. Ed Garrett, Craig Wylie, and “T” Wylie rolled and played very well, posting the low front nine score. Jim Kayser, Dave Kayser, Bill Ballantyne, Pat Bulley, and Chris Cullen also gambled and won; they were the best team on the back side. The Roosteraunt closest to the pin prizes went to Steve Hull and John Strickland for their tee shots on holes 8 and 16. Adam Summers and George Thomson hit the best approach shots on holes 6 and 17, result-

ing in a couple of Burns Jewellers gift certificates for their efforts. Doug Hart and Dan Cyr smoked the Town and Country Chrysler longest drives on holes 2 and 13. Gary Badour was the lucky 50/50 prize winner, and Rod Cook took home the bottle of Rocky’s Roundup. It was another fast and efficient night of golf with a great prize table. If you haven’t made it out this year, call your buddies and come out to experience the best men’s night in the region.

A dentist’s distinguished career reaches its logical, graceful conclusion Howaida Sorour hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community - At a joyful celebration held at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95, family, friends, staff and patients gathered for Dr. Graham Hall’s retirement. “He’s been successful as a dentist, but it’s the relationships he developed with his employees and patients that make him stand out,” said Sharron Stillwell, his first employee and assistant of 35 years. Hall arrived in Smiths Falls in 1979. Born in Montreal he had been living in Toronto up until he moved here, but had a cottage on Christie Lake. He was already familiar with the town and it just seemed more practical to locate closer to his cottage, he explained. “I took a chance. I didn’t have all the answers right out of dentistry school, but I got two of the most important things right – the place to practice and my first

employee,” he says with that trademark twinkle in his eye. Extraordinarily dedicated to his profession, Hall made a career of taking on procedures that most city dentists wouldn’t perform on their premises and he did so with skill and success. “My son Jeffrey is one of his patients and has severe heart problems,” says Karen Hallinan. “We were told that he needed specialized dental care by his cardiologist, but Dr. Hall was able to do all the work in his office and Jeffrey’s cardiologist was delighted.” Dr. Hall won his patients over to the extent that a dental visit was a pleasure rather than a chore. “He’s been a wonderful dentist. I’m going to really miss him,” says Diane Gallipeau who has known Hall for nearly 30 years and counts him as a friend as well. A sentiment that speaks volumes about the man, and the care he took of each of his many patients.

“His patients love him, they’re friends not just patients because he’s empathetic, dedicated, devoted and benevolent,” says Stillwell. “He’s put in 15 hour days and still be so generous to everyone. We all have high respect for him and he’s shown high respect for all his employees and we’ve appreciated that.” His combined dental and people skills have also been a huge asset to his younger colleagues and one of the attractions to practicing in Smiths Falls. “He’s an amazing dentist. He does more procedures in his office than most dentists in Ottawa, and he also encourages you to take more risks and try procedures because he’s there to provide the back-up,” says Jennifer Johns, who has been practicing with Dr. Hall for the past five years and will continue now that he’s retired. In fact Hall’s dental practice will continue in its present location on Main Street, as one of Hall’s protégé takes over the practice. Dr. Mike MacPhee says he is thrilled to be in a

position to purchase the business he’s worked in for the past six years. “Graham’s been a really good mentor and knows a lot about dentistry and about people, he’s been almost like a dad to me,” says McPhee.

“It’s good to give it over to the three dentists remaining behind,” says Hall looking around and pointing out the three including McPhee, Johns and Janelle Hamilton, at the same time marveling at the number of attendees with genuine appreciation and no real regret.

A development that Hall and McPhee have talked about over the years and that “I’ve had a wonderful career,” Hall the elder dentist is thrilled to see coming says, “and wouldn’t exchange it for the to fruition. world.” R0012792737_0710

Adrienne Kress performs in classic Broadway comedy at Perth Festival’s fifth anniversary Community – Adrienne Kress, an award-winning author of Alex and the Ironic Gentleman and The Friday Society, is taking the stage in a swinging ‘60s comedy, Neil Simon’s Come Blow Your Horn, in the Perth’s Festival’s fifth season. The show runs from July 11 to Aug. 3, (Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m. and 2 p.m. matinee), and held at the Classic Theatre located at 54 Beckwith St. E. Perth. Come Blow Your Horn is a hilarious satire play and is based on the early ’60’s swinging bachelor lifestyle that launched Neil Simon’s prolific Broadway career. Kress plays character Connie Drayton, the main love interest of Alan, the lead male, in which the witty back and forth banter proves Connie to be clever and sharp which is a change of role when it comes to women in comedy. “I really enjoy the role of Connie. She’s smart, witty and gives as good as she gets. What’s fascinating is though she represents a more old fashioned outlook - giving up her career to be a housewife - she is very much presented by Neil Simon as an equal to her partner Alan,” Kress said. Kress enjoys period pieces as she has performed in a number of them. She has starred in various plays and film roles, taking the lead in indie film Tarantata as Ryan Gallimore and theatre roles of Lady Capulet from the famous Romeo and Juliet to Beauty and the Beast’s very own Dusty.

Adrienne Kress Kress has been a drama major since the age of 11 and finds it impossible to picture a life without acting; despite the high pressure of the industry she states there is nothing more satisfying than acting itself. Tickets range from $21 to $30 with group discounts available. For tickets and further information contact Tickets Please at 39 Foster St., Perth or ticketsplease.ca, or call at 1-877283-1283, ext. 1. Kress is an actor and author, writing award winning novels for children and young adults. Most recently, Kress published the successful adventure novel The Friday Society, which was recognized as one of the top five Steampunk books of 2012. Her first novel, Alex and the Ironic Gentleman, was featured in the New

York Post as a “Post Potter Pick,” and on the CBS Early Show. It won the Heart of Hawick Children’s Book Award in the UK and was nominated for the Red Cedar. The sort-of sequel, Timothy and the Dragon’s Gate, was nominated for the Audie, Red Cedar and Manitoba Young Readers Choice Awards, and was recently optioned for film. Kress is a theatre graduate of the University of Toronto and London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts in the UK. Neil Simon is the world’s most successful playwright. He has had dozens of plays and nearly as many major motion pictures produced. He has been showered with more Academy and Tony nominations than any other writer, and is the only playwright to have four Broadway productions running simultaneously. His plays have been produced in dozens of languages, and have been blockbuster hits from Beijing to Moscow. His true success, however, is in his unique way of exposing something real in the American spirit. As a registered charitable organization, Burning Passions Theatre believes strongly in supporting the communities in which we work. A major focus of our work is audience engagement and support for civic and community groups, as well as the mentorship of community youth. Submitted by Classic Theatre.

Clark stands up for Kemptville College future in first question period News – In the first Question Period of Ontario’s new legislative session, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark was on his feet to stand up for the future of Kemptville College’s core agriculture education programs. Clark sought assurance from Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal that the Liberal government will work with any partner emerging with a plan to continue the college’s 97 years of excellence in research and education, which are essential to the future of farming and agribusiness in Eastern Ontario.

“Maintaining those agricultural diploma programs is an absolute priority for me, the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force and the Eastern Ontario farming community,� said Clark. “That’s why I felt it was important to take the first opportunity available to get the new minister’s assurance he won’t rule out any potential partner.� A video of Clark’s question is available at: http://youtu.be/1e-BPkhuxA8 Clark has written to Leal and Reza Moridi, the new Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, to personally invite them to tour the Kemptville

Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices), come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The Chrysler 200 I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at an area Chrysler Dodge Ram Jeep store. The mainstream non-luxury mid-sized sedan niche is one of the most competitive segments of the automotive market and it has been so since the extinction of the big-metal sleds in the ‘80s. To win over buyers in this segment is rather easy; all a carmaker has to do is come up with a creation that looks great, seats four very comfortably, is loaded with the latest in tech features, has power to spare, and comes in a the right price. The all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 seems to hit every one of those targets. For pricing, the 200 starts at $22,495 and can be equipped and loaded to the $38,315 mark. My Limited model with the ‘comfort group’ option package came in at $29,585 (all prices before destination or license fees, or taxes, or current incentives). For features, it has everything you’d expect for a $29K vehicle plus things you might not such as automatic projector-style headlamps, 17� aluminum wheels, steering-wheel mounted paddle shift controls, sixway adjustable driver and passenger front seats, 5� touch-screen audio/HVAC control, rearview camera, remote start, and cell-phone ready audio system, just to cover the highlights. While the entry level 200 is equipped with the 184 hp 2.4 L four-cylinder engine, my Limited trim tester had the 3.6 L 295 hp Pentastar V-6 mated to a segment exclusive 9-speed automatic transmission. An all-wheel drive (AWD) version is available with a fully ‘disconnectable’ rear axle to improve fuel economy when AWD isn’t required. The 3.6 V6 moves the 1,500 kg sedan with more than a little enthusiasm. The paddle shifters will let the engine rev higher before shifting giving the sport drivers their fix, while touring types will appreciate the smooth seamless application of power.

“WE WANT TO EARN YOUR BUSINESS�

Dog days of summer means leave the pets at home Be safe in event of flooding, Lifestyle - If you thought with all the public service announcements, news stories, social media coverage, and weather warnings, that people have gotten the message about leaving children and pets in vehicles parked in the sun on sweltering days, you’d be very very wrong. A recent experience hit close to home, demonstrating that some of us still don’t get it. My wife was walking across a very hot parking lot on one of our approaching-40-degrees-in-the-shade days recently and came across a minivan with a dog barking and obviously in distress. The front door and rear quarter windows were open a crack, but in the sun, this didn’t matter as the interior temperature was in the red zone. She entered the first building open and asked to use the phone to call 911. An occupant there suggested checking at the restaurant next door to see if the van’s owner was present. This person went into the dining room and announced that if the owner was there, he or she had only seconds to get the dog out or the authorities would be called. The male half of a young couple quickly sprinted to the van to rescue the dog, which for-

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

tunately was none the worse for the experience. Even if the windows had been left all the way down, the windshield and back-glass of a minivan, like most vehicles will provide enough of a greenhouse effect to raise the interior temperatures to life-threatening levels. If risking the health or life of a child or pet isn’t a deterrent (and for some it appears it’s not), consider the fines and costs associated, not to mention possible jail time. If you try to justify your actions because “you’ll only be a minute”, consider that anyone approaching your vehicle won’t know that and will likely call emergency responders before trying to find you. Or if a rock or brick is nearby, they may not make any call. If your child or pet really wasn’t in danger, you may still face the consequences of wasting an emergency service’s time. If there is

the slightest physical problem with a hot vehicle’s occupant, it may mean the trip to a hospital, a veterinarian, or the police station; so much for saving time! Courtesy of Edmonton’s Animal Protection Services, here are the five signs of a dog in heat distress: 1) Excessive panting or drooling. 2) The tongue turns dark purple in colour. 3) Frantic behaviour; pawing at the window, trying to stick its nose out. 4) Loss of bowel control. 5) Lethargic and unresponsive behaviour; when the animal is really in trouble. On Friday, July 11 the Carp Lawn Tractor Pull pulls into the Carp Fairgrounds with the action starting at 7 p.m. There is a $2 admission charge and all monies raised will be going toward prostate cancer as well as Carp and West Carleton 4-H. Some money will also go to the Carp Fair. The following day sees the 10th annual Carp Show ‘n’ Shine & Parts Flea Market happening at the same location. As well as classics and rods there will be antique snowmobiles, lawn tractors and a hit and miss

engine display. On Sunday the 13th, the very popular Merrickville Cruise & Shop is on in, where else, Merrickville. Wear comfortable walking shoes, because this show goes on for blocks with plenty of rest and refreshment stops along the way. There will be live entertainment by the Mick Armitage Band. Check out their website for more details at www.merrickvillecarshow.com. And don’t forget the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum annual Classic Car Show is also on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 2940 Old Montreal Rd. in Cumberland. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

natural gas emergency News – Enbridge Gas Distribution reminds customers about important safety tips related to flooding and natural gas equipment. Natural gas appliances and meters or regulators that are fully or partially submerged as a result of flooding pose a potential safety risk, even if there is no smell of gas, and should also be called in to the Enbridge Gas Distribution 24hour emergency number at 1-866-763-5427. Enbridge is advising customers not to enter any flooded areas with electrically-operated gas fired equipment due to a potential electrical shock hazard, which may cause severe injury or death. In some cases, flooding can impact sewer lines. Before doing any work to clear a blocked sewer line beyond the outside walls of a building, it is very important to call Ontario One Call at 1-800-400-2255 to request a

free natural gas sewer safety inspection. It is possible that some natural gas lines could intersect with sewer service lines. A serious safety issue may result if tools used to clear the sewer service line damage a natural gas line, causing a gas leak. Flooding can impair the effectiveness of safety devices installed in natural gas equipment and appliances. If natural gas equipment has come into contact with water, customers will need to contact a licensed heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) contractor or your service provider or equipment manufacturer, to have the affected appliance(s) serviced or repaired. Enbridge does not provide this service. Customers can locate a contractor through the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada website at www. hrai.ca.

Windsor-built 1934 Plymouth has one owner for 53 years Lifestyle – Bill Ball of Amherstburg, Ontario, purchased a 1934 Plymouth Model PE coupe in 1961, probably never imagining that he would still own the same car more than half a century later! The car was built at the Chrysler plant in Windsor, where Bill’s dad, Harold, had worked in 1934. Coupes with a built-in trunk were $790 and those with a rumble seat had a factory retail price of $845. Three young men from the Leamington area had purchased the car in London in the late ‘50s while attending teachers’ college. They bought it from a man who had found it under a pile of scrap in a junkyard. He got it running and put it back on

the road, then later sold it to the three young men. One of them later bought out the other two, then sold the car when he got married. Bill bought the car in running condition in 1961 from Norm’s Bicycle Shop in Walkerville. He stored the car at two or three locations over the years, hoping to restore it some day.

Around 2000, the car came out of storage and the restoration began. Bill already had two NOS (new old stock) running boards he found at a big swap meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania. He also had two NOS rear fenders, also from Hershey. Fortunately, the body itself was very solid and is now painted in Light Gunmetal Metallic.

The engine is the original one for this car and was rebuilt by a man at Siefker Automotive in Essex. It has 201 cubic inches and cranks out a very respectable 77 horsepower. Bill installed a new interior kit and also replaced the fabric insert roof. The chrome was redone in London. Bill’s Plymouth has several interesting features. A no-draft window has six different positions up and down, and only offered in 1934. The suicide doors (hinged at the rear) were typical of cars of that era. The hood sides have a combination of louvers and doors for proper engine ventilation. The windshield cranks out from the bottom for an early form of air conditioning. The car was put back on the road

about ten years ago, and is driven locally with its “stump-puller” 4:11 rear end. It is always on display at Amherstburg’s Gone Car Crazy Show ‘n’ Shine for all vehicles, taking place this year on Saturday July 27. For more info, call Eleanor at 519-736-4020 or www.amherstburgsgonecarcrazyshow.com. If you see Bill there with his 1934 Plymouth coupe, be sure to say hello! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca, or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2.

Lifestyle – Fiddleheads are a green vegetable that is typically available in the spring. They grow along the banks of rivers and streams and are sometimes sold at farmer’s markets, roadside stands and grocery stores. Fiddleheads can be safely eaten, but can cause food poisoning if they haven’t been properly cleaned, prepared, cooked and stored. There have been reported cases in Canada and the US of people getting sick from eating raw or undercooked fiddleheads. However, there have been no reported cases of illness associated with eating fully cooked fiddleheads. Eating raw or undercooked fiddleheads can cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and headaches. These symptoms usually occur within 30 minutes to 12 hours. Anyone who experiences these symptoms after eating fiddleheads should contact their health care professional or local public health unit Follow these steps when preparing fiddleheads to protect you and your family from food poisoning:

eral changes of clean, cold water. Cooking • Never eat raw or undercooked fiddleheads. • Cook fiddleheads in lightly salted boiling water for 15 minutes or steam them for 10 to 12 minutes, until they are tender. Discard the water that was used for cooking. • Fiddleheads should be boiled or steamed as described above prior to use in recipes that use further cooking methods like sautéing, stir-frying or baking.

Freezing • Clean fiddleheads properly. • Boil them in water for two minutes and discard the water. • Rinse fiddleheads in cold water and drain. • Pack them in sealed bags or containers. • Store them in the freezer for up to one year for best quality. • Follow the cooking instructions above before serving. Stay connected with Health Canada, and receive the latest advisories and product recalls using http:// Cleaning www.hc-sc.gc.ca/home-accueil/ • Remove as much of the brown sm-ms/index-eng.php social media husk as possible. tools. • Wash the fiddleheads using sevSubmitted by Health Canada.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO.

LOCAL TREASURE HUNTING Consignment/Thrift shopping is an adventure! Not only will you save money and leave a smaller footprint but you will find many unique and fascinating items to get your creative juices flowing. Decorating on a budget is exciting and rewarding when you invest a little time and energy by visiting local ‘resale’ shops. Imagine your friend’s faces when you tell them that that gorgeous outfit you are wearing came from ‘this fabulous little boutique’ you found… at a fraction of the cost of new!

To get the most out of your ‘treasure hunting’ shop often and don’t be afraid to let the owner know what you are looking for. Most shop owners are very happy to call you when something comes in that you have expressed an interest in.

Try something new. Use consignment shopping to economically try out new decorating techniques and ideas. Lower prices make it less painful if something goes wrong with your creative project. When shopping for clothing look for pieces to supplement your current wardrobe. Don’t pass by an item that may be slightly too large or a bit too long, the money you save and a small tailoring investment means that great item is still a considerable bargain! If you are handy with a needle and thread... even better!

“It’s Ontario’s biggest single collection of antiques and second hand items,” reports the Toronto Star

Keep an open mind. Unique pieces are just that: unique. When consignment shopping, think beyond what a piece is and instead think of what it could be. A new shade gives an old lamp new life. A coat of paint can make an old table look new. Get beyond a piece’s existing condition and use a little effort and creativity to make it better.

What you should do? • Read product labels to see if allergens are listed as ingredients or if the label has an allergen “containsâ€? statement. • Always check product labels and read them carefully, as manufacturers sometimes change the ingredients used in familiar products. • Avoid food products that do not list their ingredients or those that contain an ingredient that you don’t recognize. • Obviously, avoid food products that contain the specific allergens but also those that contain derivatives of allergens to which you are allergic. • Avoid food products if the label indicates that they “may containâ€? an ingredient to which you are allergic. • When eating at a friend’s home, or in a restaurant, tell your host/server about your food allergy, and ask specific questions about the food being served. • If you have been prescribed an epinephrine/adrenaline auto-injector, learn how to use it properly and carry it with you at all times. • Always wear a Medic Alert identifier so that, in case of an accident, others know about your allergies.

GORGEOUS WEDDINGS

Lifestyle – Severe allergic reactions to food can occur quickly, sometimes without warning, and the reactions can be life threatening. Food allergies are more common in children but can affect people of all ages. As many as 2.5 million Canadians – or about seven per cent of the population – identify themselves as having one or more food allergies. Peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, soy, seafood (fish and shellfish), wheat, eggs, milk, mustard and sulphites are the food allergens that typically cause allergic reactions and are known in Canada as the priority allergens. For people with food allergies, sensitivities or intolerances, the best way to prevent an allergic reaction is to avoid the specific food or ingredient in the first place. When you have food allergies, it is especially important to read food labels. Health Canada requires that most prepackaged foods carry a label and that the ingredients appear on labels in decreasing order of proportion. Recent amendments to the Food and Drug Regulations enhanced the labelling requirements for specific priority allergens, gluten sources and added sulphites in prepackaged foods sold in Canada.
