Moose commuter train threatened by track issues at an Ottawa bridge Amy Hogue

A one-kilometre stretch of track in Ottawa could threaten to derail the Moose commuter train project. Moose Consortium Inc. will soon be filing a complaint with the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) protesting that the City of Ottawa has altered the approach to the Prince of Wales Bridge, and removed 100 metres of track, threatening the integrity of the railway.

Moose Consortium is proposing a 100 per cent commercially financed and operated passenger railway service using existing railways. Doubledecker trains will traverse Ottawa and Gatineau, and will operate out to six semi-rural towns of the Greater National Capital Region, including Smiths Falls, Arnprior, and Alexandria, in Ontario. Quebec service will eventually extend to Montebello and Wakefield.

Moose Consortium director general, Joseph Potvin, explained it is the Ottawa-owned stretch of track that travels out of the province of Ontario and into the province of Quebec

Michelle Nash Baker/METROLAND

The tracks at the Prince of Wales Bridge in Ottawa may be a stickler in the decision to bring the Moose commuter train to Smiths Falls. that makes the Moose commuter rail project a federally regulated railway.

“That’s by the far the most important single kilometre of the entire 400 kilometres,” Potvin said.

According to Potvin, the Chaudiere Extension, which has been in place since the 1800s to connect the western Quebec and eastern Ontario railways, has been discontinued by the City of Ottawa, and track has been removed

from that section, severing the line. In order to remove a section of railway, the city would have been required to apply for permission from the CTA, but the City of Ottawa hasn’t done that, Potvin said.

Moose Consortium had previously filed a complaint with the CTA against the City of Ottawa in 2011, with the complaint that the city was discontinuing the railway without due process.

Lanark County reminds residents CP trail corridor not yet open to public Lanark County is reminding residents that the newly leased abandoned CP Rail Corridor, which is slated to be developed as a future trail, is currently not open to the public.

The county is undertaking a safety review of all of the structural assets along the trail, including the seven bridges (three in Almonte, two in Carleton Place and two in Pakenham).

“The corridor has never been open to the public and it remains closed at this time to ensure safety,” explained Lanark County CAO Kurt Greaves. “At this point the bridges do not have safety railings in place.”

Lanark County, Renfrew County and the Township of Papineau-Cameron formed a partnership in 2011 and recently signed a lease and donation agree-

ments to acquire ownership of the 296-kilometre abandoned Canadian Pacific Rail between Smiths Falls and Mattawa. The county’s portion runs from Sturgess Road in Montague Township to the Renfrew/Ottawa border. The intent is to work with local municipalities, the Lanark

“That bridge was inspected by county staff this week and is in need of structural and safety upgrades,” Greaves said. “The county was notified that blasting will be occurring and the work might cause further instability to the bridge, so additional precautions have been taken to

discourage trespassing and to ensure public safety and reduce taxpayer liability.”

Greaves said that pending budget approval the county plans to fix all of the bridges next year and open the trail to the public in 2017. Until then, the entire corridor remains closed.

Fundraising for the Tay River Pathway extension is nearing its $67,000 goal. The project will see the pathway extended to the Tay River and features a boardwalk and viewing deck, as shown above.

Full steam ahead on Tay River Pathway extension as group nears fundraising goal J ULY Ashley Kulp

It looks like the Lanark Lodge Council of Family and Friends will be reaching the river by August.

Though the group only gave themselves just two months to fundraise more than $40,000 for an extension, boardwalk and viewing deck to the Tay River Pathway, they are rapidly nearing their goal, reported Dianne Czerwinski to Lanark County’s economic development committee at a June 22 meeting. The first portion of the wheelchair-accessible pathway, located behind Lanark Lodge and Perth Community Care, was built in 2009.

The group has currently raised $64,411.75 (if all donations are are realized) of its $67,000 goal, but are hopeful those additional costs will be funded through service club grants.

“So, our bottom line is, right now we can say, if all promises come in and I strongly believe in promises, $64,411.75, includes the actual money in the fund and promised funds,” Czerwinski said. “...Honestly, we just can’t wait to reach the river,” she continued.

Czerwinski, who has spearheaded the project with Nicola Oddy, were at a previous April 27 economic development com-

mittee meeting to seek preliminary approval from Lanark County council, which they received. Since that time, the county’s public works staff have finished their in-kind contribution to the initiative, extending the trail located behind Lanark Lodge and Perth Community Care, 300 metres through an area of pine trees. “...I just want to say, to our absolute delight, public works completed their 300 metres of trail a couple of days later after that meeting and it’s an understatement to say we are completely overwhelmed and very appreciate of that. We want to say thanks to Lanark County public works for that,” Czerwinski noted. “For your information, we’ve seen a significant increase in the use of the pathway since this improvement.”

The rest was up to Czerwinski and Oddy and their ninemember fundraising committee and they wasted no time, kicking off the fundraising campaign they dubbed Reach the River, just after Mother’s Day. With a base of $23,000 raised, the group had an end goal of $67,000.

Since that time, the committee hit the ground running, contacting media, applying for grants, making presentations to service clubs and seeking donations from community members and businesses. They also created a Facebook page and

website (tayriverpathway.ca) to outline project goals. Tay Valley Township has also agreed to waive building permit fees as well.

Czerwinski outlined three major fundraising opportunities that really kicked the campaign into full gear, beginning with a Mother’s Day blitz where Heather Trail Music Resources offered to match all donations which came in by Mother’s Day. “We were at the very beginning of our fundraising campaign when this offer came through and we had about four days to act, so we did what we could in the time that we had and the experience that we had,” she said. “What we did, put it out there on Facebook and put it on our website and each of us in our little fundraising group put it out over email and we raised $1,650 which turned into $3,300.”

A challenge was then issued to the group by a community member where if $10,000 in funds were matched by Father’s Day, an additional $10,000 would be donated.

“We realized this was our golden opportunity,” said Czerwinski. “So we had 13 days and were well into our fundraising plan, therefore we decided to give it everything we had in us.

efforts in order to raise $10,000, which in our minds, would magically turn into $20,000 and all of this by June 19. So we did everything we could in the short time frame that we had to realize this goal and money is still coming in from this challenge.”

The third significant fundraiser came from a community group, who promised $10,000 to the initiative in 2016 with the possibility of another $10,000 either this year or in 2017.

Late June was a busy time for the Reach the River group, who worked with their design team and the Lanark County Trails Corporation to finalize drawings for the boardwalk and viewing deck. Stamped drawings and building permit applications were delivered to Tay Valley Township on June 13. Building suppliers were also being approached and they began looking for skilled workers to help with the build, which they were hoping would begin early this month.

Czerwinski stressed that $67,000 was the “bare minimum” needed to complete the project. “ If we

manage to raise a bit more money, we will further enhance. First thing we’d do is purchase a couple of benches for the viewing deck,” she said. “This is a lot of money to raise in a short period of time.

The results to us clearly indicate the important of community support in this project to extend the Tay River Pathway.”

The presentation earned a round of applause from Lanark County councillors, who were impressed with the progress of the fundraising campaign in such a short amount of time.

“I think for all of us, that’s not what we expected,” admitted economic development chair Jane Torrance. “We thought you’d be limping along as many community groups do with lots of enthusiasm, but not a lot of momentum and you sure have surprised me.”

“Oh my god, this is wonderful. Thank you so much,” added Lanark County warden Gail Code.

Coun. Brian Stewart, who also sits on the trails corporation, credited Czerwinski and Oddy as the driving forces behind the project.

“I think you’ve heard me at the last few meet-

ings when we discussed this... and that they had a vision and I knew they were going to get to where they wanted to go...,” he stated. “Again, I want to thank you because you guys are the ones that led this...the two of you have really made sure that this has happened...

We just want to thank you, on behalf of the trails corporation

and Lanark County council. It affects many, many people and the enjoyment that’s going to come from this is going to be great.”

During the meeting, the economic development committee gave final approval to the project, but had a few questions about Czerwinski’s request to put any funds leftover into a

sub-committee with the trails corporation to be used for further development of the pathway.

“Why are we putting money into the trails corporation? Is that what we want to do?” questioned Coun. Richard Kidd.

“It’s a separate corporation from the county.”

“They (Lanark Lodge Coun-

cil of Family and Friends) are fundraising for this trail and they want to make it so the money stays in there,” stated Coun. Keith Kerr.

County CAO Kurt Greaves indicated the trails corporation doesn’t have a separate bank account, “so it (monies) would go into the county’s (account) and into a separate sub-account.”

Loss of a business leader

love of woodworking and developing tools made Leonard Lee a business titan throughout not only Ottawa and the Valley, but throughout Canada.

He passed away last Thursday, July 7 at the age of 77, and it’s a loss that will be felt around the area for some time. Known as an honest and generous man, those values helped Leonard further his career in business as the founder of Lee Valley Tools, which he established in 1978.

A sought after guest speaker at chambers of commerce and business events, he quietly commanded attention and always stressed the importance of treating people with fairness and respect. Back in 2012, he spoke at a Mississippi Mills Chamber of Commerce mixer about how he hires honest people who like helping others and have a good work ethic. The same kinds of traits he possessed. Treat people how you would like to be treated.

He also enjoyed operating independently from big box stores because he could run the business the way he wanted. He dealt

with suppliers who didn’t work with box stores. “Smaller manufacturers tend to treat you better and many have excellent products. You are usually in a better competitive situation if you buy from a supplier where the playing field is more level. It also encourages biodiversity in the jungle.”

It’s no secret Leonard loved the Ottawa Valley. He made his home in Ramsay ward in the Municipality of Mississippi Mills with wife, Lorraine and chose to headquarter his subsequent businesses, medical tool design company Canica Design and Algrove Publishing in Almonte. He also helped his sons open an old-fashioned hardware store in his historic Mill Street building last June, L.G. Lee & Sons.

For the past number of years, Leonard had stepped back from the business he built, letting son Robin take over the reins at Lee Valley, but he was never too far away, maintaining his personal office on the second floor of L.G. Lee & Sons, always wanting to stay involved. He’s left behind a legacy of which he can be proud.

Latest fad in lawn care fascinates Mary and her family Mother stood at the kitchen door looking out onto the yard.

She refused to call it a lawn. A lawn had nicely mowed grass.

This lawn had tufts of grass growing every which way, because the only means of cutting it was with the scythe, and that only happened when Father had a lull in the everyday chores around the farm. Which wasn’t very often. Everett was given the job until he cut off the toe of his gum rubbers one day, missing his foot by a mere inch, and that was the end of that.

It would take every last cent out of her egg money in the sugar bowl, but Mother was determined she was going to buy one of those new lawn mowers she saw in Scott’s Hardware ad in the Renfrew Mercury. Three dollars was a princely sum, and it would take a long time to

build it up again, but it would be worth it.

Mother dumped out the sugar bowl on the kitchen table, and had a few coppers over the three dollars needed to buy the lawn mower. I was so excited, especially since Mother said I could go into Renfrew with her to get it. We would be taking the old Model T instead of the horse and buggy, and Mother said as soon as she got home with it, Everett would be put to work. The ad showed a picture of it too, and it vowed it was the latest thing in lawn care.

So off we went, against Father’s wishes, of course, as he could see nothing wrong with the way the grass had been cut on the farm for more than 100 years! When we got to the hardware store, there it was in the window. I had never seen any-

first proper cut in its history!

Father was nowhere to be seen when we pulled into the yard, but my three brothers and sister were all lined up like

thing like it. It had two small wheels and what looked like a cage holding twisted blades inside. Mr. Scott explained that when the thing was pushed through the grass, the blades, (“sharp as a razor,” he said) cut the grass as neat as you please.

He loaded it into the back seat of the Model T after Mother handed over the money, and we didn’t even stop to do any Saturday shopping, but tore out of town to get home as fast as we could to get Everett started on giving the grass in the yard its

Reader: Wild parsnip letter shows common sense DEAR EDITOR:

Re: ‘Spraying wild parsnip wasn’t necessary: Reader’, July 7.

Ms. Cirka's letter to the editor last week regarding the excessive approach to controlling wild parsnip was like a breath of fresh air after the near hysteria that started last summer around this plant. Her letter contained both good information and common sense – something that seems lacking in the local administration's approach to control it.

I'm wondering why they do not have this in-

formation, and if they do, why they are not using it. In the interest of fairness, perhaps this “cannon to kill a fly” approach is an attempt to persuade a fearful public that something is being done. Well – now that both the public and the local administration have the information, perhaps there is the will to stop the spraying and implement a more rational approach.

UCDSB earns award for My Family Room website IDG’s CIO announced July 7 the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) as a recipient of the 2016 CIO 100 for its innovative My Family Room website.

The 29th annual award program recognizes organizations around the world that exemplify the highest level of operational and strategic excellence in information technology (IT).

“Delivering innovation and business value are top priorities for CIOs everywhere, and our CIO 100 awards program celebrates the leading IT organizations that excel at both,” said Maryfran Johnson, editor in chief of CIO Events. “Our 2016 winners are raising the bar even higher this year with their outstanding work in digital transformation, customer focus and IT-business collaboration.”

since the yard looked like a hayfield, but Everett was told it was important to cut in straight lines, and so tried his best to do as he was told.

He managed to cut a swath right down the middle from the pump to the back stoop.

Emerson was getting red in the face from yelling it was his turn, and grabbed the handle of the mower, pushing Everett out of his way.

It looked like Everett wasn’t unhappy to give up the job, with the sweat pouring off

cure website acts as a one-stop, single-point-of-access to all electronic services provided to parents and legal guardians of UCDSB students. Its focus is to enhance board-parent communication and provide parents with 24/7 access to useful information related to their child ranging from emergency communications to their school calendar.

Jeremy Hobbs, UCDSB chief information officer, said he was proud of the recognition the award entails, as well as of the quality service that resulted from his department’s hard work.

“My Family Room is really intended to be the UCDSB’s platform for securely interacting with parents in a much more convenient way than they’re used to,” explained Hobbs. “This has all kinds of

benefits for the board too, including automating many tasks like handling absence and late notes, which frees up staff time to focus on helping kids and families.

“On a much broader scale, My Family Room is a signal to the community that the UCDSB wants to build public confidence by showing it can deliver experiences that are polished, professional and of a quality consistent with the best kinds of experiences they have with other organizations both public and private.”

Hobbs singled out the efforts of department employees Julie Robertson, supervisor of solution services, and Jim Guerin, manager of information technology services, for acting as leaders of the project and steering it to success.

his face. Mother stood at the back step yelling orders, and when it was Earl’s turn, the whole back yard sure didn’t look like it did when the grass was cut with the scythe! I was pretty sure I could see Father’s face in the window of the cow byre.

Finally, the whole yard was done. It was less than perfect, with tufts of grass still standing where the lawn mower had missed. The new lawn mower was rolled into the drive shed, and Mother had made lemonade, and we all sat at the back stoop looking over the newly

mowed lawn. Father emerged from the barn, came over and slumped down on the step beside us. He lit his pipe, letting his eyes roam from one end of the yard to the next. He wasn’t about to admit it looked any better. “Look’s like a bad hair cut to me,” he said, between puffs on his pipe.

Randy Cavanagh/Jean Sharpe

Canada marks 75th anniversary of air training plan If any cemetery can be called “beautiful” then Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa’s east end very easily earns the compliment.

Beechwood is a public burial ground founded in 1873. It is also Canada’s National Cemetery and a designated historic site. The nearly 67-hectare (160-acre) wooded property encompasses the National Military Cemetery of Canada and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police National Memorial Cemetery.

Beechwood is the final resting place of more than 75,000 people including prominent politicians, businesspeople, inventors, poets and athletes.

In May I attended a committal service at Beechwood in memory of Charles “Chuck” Rolfe a retired Canadian Navy diver. Chuck, who in his final years lived in the Ashton area, served with me as a director of the Roy Brown Society in Carleton Place. In the process we forged a friendship. He was such an interesting fellow and I learned about his days serving on HMCS Bonaventure, the former Canadian Navy aircraft carrier. Chuck’s final request was that his ashes be interred in the national military cemetery. He received full military honours and it was a very moving ceremony for his family, friends, former comrades and fellow committee members.

A few years ago I was fortunate

enough to be given a personal tour of Beechwood. At the time I was writing a series of newspaper articles about the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) and its work in North America.

Staff from the commission’s North American operation, based in Ottawa, gave me a comprehensive look at the cemetery.

I will economize on details here because it’s a long, involved story.

But the five-member CWGC staff members in Ottawa are tasked with supervising all of the Commonwealth war graves in Canada and the United States. There are thousands of graves in large cemeteries, church yards, family plots and on private property across the continent.

It’s a little known fact that so many Commonwealth soldiers, sailors and airmen are buried in Canada and the U.S. Because when people think of the CWGC they normally associate the organization with the hundreds of thousands of meticulously maintained graves in Europe and other parts of the world where Commonwealth military personnel fought and died during two World Wars. The commission is responsible only for graves from the two world wars.

I say “only” very guardedly. Because their task is immense and perpetual! On this continent every

Reflections

By Jeff maguire

Commonwealth grave is visited and checked every five years. If the marker deteriorates it is repaired or replaced.

At Beechwood the graves under the auspices of CWGC are not in the newest sections which include the military and RCMP cemeteries.

Some of the military personnel are buried together in sections which were set aside for that purpose. The final resting place of several others is in various locations across the sprawling cemetery.

Far from home So, who are the people interred beneath the distinctive headstones of the CWGC? The policy is that military members who died during the designated periods set out within the commission’s mandate were buried in cemeteries nearest to where they fell.

Included are individuals who died during military training or who were killed in unrelated accidents or died

of illness while serving their countries. It was too expensive to repatriate the remains of foreign nationals who died here to their own homelands. Therefore the vast majority were laid to rest in a designated cemetery nearest to where they died or, in the case of those whose bodies were never found, they are remembered on memorials in designated cemeteries. Memorials to the missing are an important part of CWGC plots world-wide.

At Beechwood and in locations from coast-to-coast in Canada many of those interred in military graves were part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) at the time of their deaths. The Second World War program, which ran from Dec. 17, 1939 to March 31, 1945 was a massive initiative that trained aircrew from the air forces of Commonwealth nations including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and of course Great Britain.

England was the final destination for many of those who received their training in Canada. Sadly many did not see actual war service because they were killed in accidents.

If you visit Beechwood and I highly recommend it, you will easily locate the graves of airmen from Britain, Australia and New Zealand among the many Commonwealth war graves in the picturesque ceme-

tery. It’s incredibly poignant to read the inscriptions on those markers.

The CWGC allows families to provide them with a brief paragraph to be added to the basic information engraved on the granite headstones.

Each marker bears a distinctive symbol signifying the home country of the man or woman interred beneath it.

As time marches on and the two world wars fade further into history the work of the CWGC doesn’t wax or wane. In fact more graves are added to the total under their care regularly as the remains of soldiers from campaigns around the world continue to be unearthed. Many of those are added to the tens of thousands of unknowns interred in CWGC cemeteries.

This year the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) is marking the 75th anniversary of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The RCAF selected 2016 because their 400-series squadrons, which came into being as a direct result of BCATP, were first established overseas in 1941, 75 years ago.

Under the plan war-time airfields were constructed in 150 communities across Canada. In addition schools and facilities related to the program were established in more See MAGUIRE page 21

Keep your kids safe from outdoor electrical hazards this summer As the carefree days of summer fill our lives, make it a priority to talk to your children about playing safe outside and staying away from electrical safety hazards.

Here are seven important tips to help protect your kids:

than 80 other locations.

In the early 1970s I was a young reporter at the daily St. Thomas Times-Journal in southwestern Ontario. On yet another BCATP anniversary I remember writing a story about the former Commonwealth airfields in the nearby communities of Aylmer and Fingal and how they impacted those centres during the Second World War. By the time the five and a half year program in Canada ended in the spring of 1945 more than 131,000 pilots, navigators, wireless operators, air bombers, air gunners and flight engineers had graduated from BCATP training programs.

The RCAF graduated the highest number of trained aircrew, an astounding 72,835 individuals.

Major impact The impact of the training plan on host communities across Canada was staggering. Thousands of members of the RCAF Women’s Division trained and worked at BCATP facilities learning ground trades and undertaking imperative support work for the program. The ground organization encompassed an impressive 104,000 men and women.

Every province except Newfoundland (it didn’t join Canada officially until 1949) hosted BCATP schools while scores of communities had an airfield, relief aerodrome or emergency landing site.

War broke out soon after the Great Depression and the air training plan meant jobs for thousands

• Make sure kids understand that they need to obey warning signs and keep away from outdoor areas marked “Danger” or “Danger High Voltage”.

No one should ever attempt to enter a station.

• Remind them that before they climb a tree, it is a must to look up to make sure there are no hydro wires running through or beside it.

• Point out overhead power lines and wires so that the kids know where they are and stay clear of

of workers whose local companies won contracts to build facilities or sell supplies to the air bases. In turn the aircrew, ground staff and contractors poured money into the local economies.

The presence of so many military personnel helped boost people’s spirits during a long and at times disheartening war.

The modern RCAF traces its roots to the Second World War air training plan which makes this year’s anniversary even more significant. Commemorative programs are planned at a number of locations.

At Canadian Forces Base Trenton, the largest air force station in our part of the country, a 75th anniversary air show was held the last weekend of June featuring vintage aircraft.

While some war-time airfields are abandoned and have been relegated to history, many reminders of the air training program still exist.

The present airports of numerous Canadian cities and towns were once part of the BCATP. Some centres had pre-existing airfields upgraded under the program. Still other communities entered commercial aviation for the first time by acquiring airfields and facilities once the program concluded. Numerous military bases in use today were once BCATP schools.

There is a Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum in Brandon,

Manitoba which includes a number of preserved buildings from that era and vintage aircraft, some of which still fly.

Standing at the same site is the impressive RCAF Memorial to the BCATP. It lists the names of 18,000 men and women who gave their lives during service with our air force and includes those Canadians who died while serving in the British Royal Air Force, the Fleet Air Arm and Ferry Command during the Second World War. The museum stresses the importance of a Canadian wartime initiative that made a major contribution to the Allied cause.

In this, the 75th anniversary year, the 856 BCATP personnel who died or were seriously injured during training are being remembered.

Of that number 469 were RCAF members. In addition some RCAF Women’s Division personnel also died during their service.

While the bodies of most of the Canadian BCATP dead were returned to their hometowns, Commonwealth recruits were buried in nearby cemeteries, including Beechwood in Ottawa. Today you can visit those cemeteries and pay your respects to brave men and women whose final resting places are so far from home.

Cruickshank Construction marks 60 years: From the kitchen table to national award winner

Duncan’s Radio and TV 6133595660 • Elgin

In 2000, Les Cruickshank passed on ownership of the company to his son Steve Cruickshank, who started his career with the company washing parts at the age of 14. Steve has continued to seek out new opportunities for growth and is committed to maintaining the company’s solid reputation for quality and service. Under his watch, Cruickshank has been desig-

nated as a Canada’s Best Managed Company, a Canada’s Best Employer and a Canada’s Safest Employer. In 2014, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation honoured Cruickshank with the Paver of the Year award.

Les and Steve are proud of these achievements and attribute much of the company’s success to a team inspired by the company’s longstanding

motto. “Cruickshank Construction holding that vision, and making the began with a man, a machine, and a next 60 years even better.” desire to get the job done right,” says Submitted by Cruickshank ConSteve. “Our team is committed to up- struction

In 1956, Les Cruickshank used his savings to buy a used grader, his first piece of equipment. He painted the motto “we do our level best” on the side, and headed off to build his dream. Now, 60 years later, that motto still stands – and so does the company, which has won several national awards, has been designated as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies and has over 500 employees providing road building and infrastructure services across Ontario.

Les and his wife Marlene founded Cruickshank Construction in Morrisburg, using their trailer as the operation’s headquarters. “Our kitchen table was the official company office,” remembers Les. “We often couldn’t eat on it because of all the paperwork.”

A commitment to doing their ‘level best’ on every project over the years has resulted in solid growth and a loyal team of dedicated employees who believe in the company’s approach to business. Cruickshank has many longstanding relationships with clients like the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, which has been a customer since 1963, as well as a number of employees who have been with the company for over 20 years.

Today, Cruickshank builds roads and bridges, maintains highways, supplies aggregates, provides infrastructure services and helps to protect the province’s fragile shorelines. The company owns 19 pits and quarries that annually produce over 1.4 million tonnes of aggregate, and clears snow from more than 2,500 kilometres of roads every winter.

Cruickshank also gives back to the community, contributing annually to local hospital campaigns and supporting several events and activities.

Ninth annual Gil Read Fastball Tournament in Carp July 22-24 Jeff Maguire

Fastball fans in eastern Ontario are in for a treat July 22-24 when the ninth annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament is staged at Carp Fairgrounds.

It’s expected that 10 topflight men’s teams from Ontario, Quebec and the northern United States will vie for the title with action beginning Friday night July 22 and continuing all weekend on two diamonds. The championship final is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, July 24.

The long standing competition has become a highlight on the summer sports calendar in the region. Organizers are hopeful that with a good weather weekend large numbers of fastball fans will descend on Carp, in rural west Ottawa, for the three-day venture. Last year’s event was plagued by wet conditions.

Chris Read, son of the late Gil Read and his cousin Al Read are once again part of the 10 member organizing committee. Committee members Adam Brown and Cory Morrison are in charge of recruiting teams and organizing the competition itself.

Last July 19 the Kanata Storm, an Ottawa club who were not among the pretournament favourites, were the surprise winners of the fastpitch showdown. Storm blanked Elmira Expos from southwestern Ontario 7-0 in the title game to ring up an impressive 5-1 overall record in the 10-team competition.

Once again all proceeds will go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The foundation assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play organized sports, but otherwise would not have the funds necessary to take part.

Chris Read says the need to help young people in the community never goes away.

“Last year we assisted 16 families. And now the applications just keep coming in.

“It is touching to receive handmade cards of thanks and to know how much our assistance means to the kids involved and their parents.

That’s what makes all the hard work worthwhile,” the long-time tournament organizer states.

Last year’s finalists are not in the line-up this year but there are several returning

entries led by local favourites West Carleton Electric of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL). Another GOFL entry who is returning to the competition this year is Micksburg Twins. The upper Ottawa Valley side won the 2014 tournament title in Carp but chose not to participate last July. This season Micksburg is battling Kars Aces for first place in the eight-team GOFL. Although Kars Aces aren’t on the tournament team list, the village will be represented in the competition with the Kars Juniors having signed on this time around. Another area team taking part is Ottawa Valley A’s from GOFL. Top teams return Two teams who made it to the semi-finals in the Gil Read showdown last season are returning for this month’s competition. CPI Classics from Oswego, New York (named for their sponsor Cutro Professional Inspections) will be hoping to take the Gil Read trophy home to their town on the south shore of Lake Ontario when the event wraps up Sunday evening. Last year they were doubled 8-4 by eventual tournament winner Kanata in the semis.

CPI, formerly McKie Sports, is a top-flight team who competed in the ISC II (International Softball Congress) competition in Kitchener, Ontario last August.

Also returning and aiming to take another step up the tournament ladder are Kingston Axemen. The Kingston team lost a 5-4 heartbreaker to Elmira in the other semifinal contest in Carp last year.

The province of Quebec will once again be represented by a tournament team nicknamed the Quebec Juniors.

Included are members of Quyon Flyers who are currently third in the GOFL standings.

Also among the eastern Ontario clubs who have entered this year’s competition are Ottawa Broker4 Tickets.

Broker 4 was semi-finalists in 2014, losing to eventual tournament winners Micksburg by a close 2-0 score.

Napanee is a fastball hotbed and teams from the town are perennial entries in the Gil Read tournament. This time Napanee Intermediates are hoping to carry the silver-

ware back to the north shore of Lake Ontario.

At press-time tournament officials were working to sign the 10th and final team for the three-day venture.

Once again all of the games will be played on the two diamonds at the Carp Fairgrounds which are considered among the finest fastball fields in the region.

Since the tournament moved to Carp seven years ago the organizing committee has been able to increase the amount of proceeds donated to the foundation in each successive year.

The tournament is held in memory of Chris Read’s father Gil, a long-time men’s fastball coach who died tragically in 2007.

The Most Valuable Player award for the tournament is presented in memory of Joel Langford, a highly skilled Ottawa fastball player, who died unexpectedly last June at the tender age of 26.

The first ever Gil Read Memorial tournament was played at Carlington Park in Ottawa in 2008. The second event was held at the same venue the following year. Rising costs in the city proper prompted organizers to seek another location. In summer 2010 they settled on the expansive Carp Fairgrounds site in the quaint village in the West Carleton section of Ottawa. The venture has been held there ever since!

Just as they were last year the participating entries will be split into two, five team divisions. The competition begins Friday night with three games, two beginning at 7 p.m. and one at 9 p.m. Action resumes Saturday at 9 a.m. and continues all day.

This week’s featured pets Bentley and Tonka Hello there, Bentley here with my dad Tonka. We almost look like identical twins. Dad is a tiny bit shy so I will do the talking. I am two-years-

leton Place too for a few weeks. I am a medium to long hair brown gorgeous male tabby cat of about seven years. They say that I am an amazing guy with lots of love and affection to give albeit on my terms. I love to be with people and enjoy the company of other cats.

Despite my age I am is still very playful and can be mischievous at times. I

This Week’s Pets Mia It’s hard to believe that this very pretty, all black young female cat with lovely eyes is still at LAWS. Early May she arrived and has raising her kit-

adore getting belly rubs and enjoy to play and can be a bit “rough” at times.

It’s best not to offer your hands as toys as you might get a scratch or two. I am not a mean cat. I have been on special diet food due to some issues with urinating. It’s unclear at this time if I need this for life or if I can be weaned of it. I do need good quality food to keep me going. I am not too fond of smaller children, they scare me a bit.

I would be a great friend for an elderly, quiet person, who initially let me be myself and let me decide when I want to come for affection. Please meet me at the Natural Pet Food store in Carleton Place.

Grinch When Grinch arrived at LAWS he was not a happy cat. Meanwhile he has come to terms with his situation which is living indoor with other cats.

Slowly he’s starting to tolerate human interaction and even rolls over for a belly scratch, albeit short lived.

There is still a bit of insecurity in him of not knowing people that are OK.

old and my dad is three. Our previous owner was not able to care for us so here we are. We are so very much looking forward to having a home again, together if possible, but we can do OK if separated. We are both very affectionate and love attention. Head rubs are our favorite.

Once we arrived at LAWS they looked after us really well. We have been vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. We are ready to go! Come and visit us at the Natural Pet Food store in Carleton Place on Bridge Street. We have been here a couple of weeks and are getting a bit discouraged not being adopted yet. We are both charming gents and would love to meet you.

His stunning colorful eyes make you sometimes wonder what he’s thinking. Most likely he hopes to be out of his confined situation soon and he is hoping to be offered a private bed in a home with older children which would be best.

Grinch has added a few extra pounds to his body and should be exercised regularly to lose some of that extra weight. He needs a bit of time and patience to get to know you, but Stinker we’re sure that once he sees he’s loved Hi there, Stinker here. I’ve resided and wanted he’ll turn into a faithful, at the Natural Pet Food atore in Car- goofy, hairy friend.

She’s eager to receive belly rubs, loves to chat and would be a friendly furry addition to most homes.

RVCA: Green algae can be too much of a good thing Have you noticed an excess of green algae on your lake or river this spring?

Algae and aquatic plants play an important role in maintaining the health of our waterbodies.

But when you have too much – it can negatively impact recreational use and threaten our aquatic ecosystems.

Excessive algae and aquatic plant growth can have natural causes like warm water and air temperatures, early ice-off dates, strong sunlight exposure and extended periods of calm water.

Quite often, excessive growth can be caused by high levels of available nutrients – both naturally occurring and man-made.

While we have little control over the natural causes of excessive algae growth, there a number of things landowners can do to make sure they are not contributing excess nutrients to our lakes and rivers: 1) Good septic system maintenance: In addition to being a source of potentially harmful bacteria, malfunctioning septic systems can release high levels of nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen into our waterways.

Property owners should have their private sewage systems inspected and pumped every three to five years. Be sure to watch for warning signs of a leaky septic like foul odours, soggy areas and unusually lush grass around leaching beds. Better yet, if you live in Rideau lake country, contact the Mississippi Rideau septic system office for more information or to book a septic inspection.

2) Increase plant cover on your property: Native trees and shrubs are especially important along shoreline areas — so keep it natural by creating a “nomow” zone along 75 per cent of your shoreline frontage and plant deep-rooted, native tree and shrubs. Vegetation helps by taking up and filtering out excess nutrients entering the water

through run-off, increasing infiltration and shading waterbodies. Need help? RVCA’s shoreline naturalization program can help by providing site visits, custom planting plans, native plants and assistance with planting.

3) Reduce your runoff: Every time it rains, water “runs-off ” hardened surfaces on your property picking up contaminants and adding warm, polluted stormwater to our waterbodies.

You can reduce runoff on your property by reducing hardened surfaces including paved walkways and even turf grass, installing rain barrels, encouraging infiltration through grassed swales, rain gardens and soak away pits and maintaining a strip of vegetation along your shoreline.

FASTBALL

From page 23

Assist disadvantaged Chris says his committee always welcomes additional sponsors to assist the foundation in its goal to help as many underprivileged young people as possible in their goal to play organized sports.

“At first it was only kids who wanted to play hockey that we helped. Now it is families with children who wish to play in all kinds of different sports.

“The more sponsors we attract, the more money we have to put toward the cause,” he observes.

He also thanked all of the sponsors who have signed on for this year noting that many of them have been assisting the tournament and the foundation since its inception in 2008. “We can’t thank them enough for their loyalty and ongoing support,” he states.

Chris also thanks all members

of the organizing committee and the “dozens of volunteers.

“Without them we couldn’t hold the tournament,” he stresses.

Beginning Friday night July 22 and continuing all weekend, fastball fans from eastern Ontario and west Quebec have an opportunity to see some of the top players from the region in action. The Reid cousins encourage local and area fans to come out and watch some excellent fastball in Carp.

Those who attend will find a large refreshment tent on site and a hamburger and hot dog barbecue will be held all weekend.

A day pass for the tournament costs just $5 per person while a weekend pass is available for $10.

Children under 12 years of age will be admitted free.

There are lots of activities for youngsters including a splash pad which will allow children to cool off in the summer heat.

The tournament’s namesake, the late Gil Read, led three men’s teams to the Canadian championship in 1993, 1995 and again in 1999. He also coached Team Ontario to gold medals at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 Canada Summer Games.

Carp is easily accessible via Highway 417 while Kanata residents can also use March Road to reach the community. There is unlimited free parking on the sprawling fairgrounds which is located uphill (north) from the main intersection in Carp.

Anyone interested in the tournament or those wishing to become a sponsor or make a donation to the foundation can call Chris Read at 613-292-7379 or contact him by email at: chris@ canadiandad.com.

More Canadians plan to rent out cottages or cabins to help finance ownership, says report As real estate prices rise, many Canadians are looking for alternative ways to finance their dreams of cottage and cabin ownership. In a recent survey of RE/MAX agents and brokers, more than half reported seeing an increase in buyers who planned to rent out their property full- or part-time. In a separate survey of Canadians, conducted by Leger, nearly 60 per cent agreed that due to the emergence of popular, user-driven vacation rental websites, it is easier for an owner to rent out an investment property today versus five years ago. The same survey found that millennials are most likely to have spent time at a cottage or cabin in the last year.

“Young Canadians are sustaining demand for access to recreational properties,” said Pamela Alexander, CEO and regional owner, North America, RE/MAX INTEGRA. “This provides an opportunity for buyers to finance their second

homes, and we are seeing this most notably in high demand areas such as Grand Bend, Ontario, Tofino, B.C., and Quebec’s Eastern Townships.”

In most of the regions that reported an increase in buyers planning to rent out their properties, demand is driven primarily by families and retirees, rather than investors.

Retirees were reported as being key drivers of demand in 83 per cent of regions surveyed, and 53 per cent of regions reported an increase in retiree buyers this year compared to last year.

“As the large demographic of Baby Boomers retires, we are seeing sellers who benefitted from significant price appreciation in cities like Vancouver and Toronto putting that equity into recreational markets, which is causing prices to increase in those regions,” said Elton Ash, regional executive vice president, RE/MAX of Western

vacation within the country rather than going abroad, putting their money into vacation rentals closer to home.

Some regions, particularly established recreational destinations with international reputations such as Whistler, the Muskokas and Mont Tremblant, are seeing foreign buyers, primarily from the U.S., return to those markets. Cape Breton Island, which recently made international news when a website “Cape Breton If Donald Trump Wins” gained the attention of high-profile news media, has seen increased interest from prospective U.S. buyers this year due to the publicity boost, combined with favourable exchange rates.

cabin, a quiet atmosphere was rated as an important feature, followed closely by privacy (91 per cent).

Peace and quiet ranked above sandy beaches (75 per cent), access to water (75 per cent) and outdoor activities (74 per cent). This was true for Canadians in all age groups and across all regions.

When considering purchasing a recreational property, it is important for buyers to take into account their personal priorities and preferences, as well as factors such as location, traffic and amenities. For example, buyers who value quiet and privacy over water access may find a short walk or drive to the beach is a better option than a waterfront property. An experienced real estate agent with local expertise can help prospective buyers know all the options within their budget and make an informed choice.

Low dollar boosting Canadian recreational regions The low Canadian dollar is having a positive effect on Canada’s recreational property markets. Canadians, mainly Baby Boomers, who bought properties in the U.S. when U.S. real estate prices were comparably low are selling them at a profit and investing in Canadian recreational markets. The low dollar is also encouraging Canadians to

Canada. “Some buyers who may still be five or 10 years away from retirement are taking the opportunity to enter those markets now, renting out their property until they are ready to retire.”

This effect has been especially pronounced in British Columbia, where significant price increases in the Lower Mainland are encouraging buyers to invest in regions such as the Okanagan and the Gulf Islands.

William Vickers and Alison Smyth square off in the Neil Simon comedy I Ought to Be in Pictures, the Classic Theatre Festival’s opening show for its extended summer season.

Father-daughter reconciliation comedy a Classic Theatre Festival hit Themes of reconciliation across the generational divide underscore the opening show of the Classic Theatre Festival (CTF) summer season, Neil Simon’s 1979 comedy, I Ought to Be in Pictures, running until July 17 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth. It’s a well-reviewed show, with Capital Critics Circle’s Iris Winston praising its “terrific chemistry. It’s very entertaining.”

The story of young vagabond Libby Tucker (Alison Smyth), who shows up on the doorstep of her writer’s blockplagued father, Herb (William Vickers), after years of disconnection, is a universal tale that every family can relate to. As these former Brooklyn denizens hash out differences in sunny California, their backdrop is the world of 1970s Hollywood, when tinseltown still had a certain amount of glamour and “the business,” as insiders call the world of filmmaking, was still one of the main economic drivers for the state.

The verbal fireworks and wisecracks that ensue are delivered courtesy of Vickers, a 28-year Shaw Festival veteran who returns for his third season in Perth, and Toronto-based Smyth, who was nominated for best actress by the Capital Critics Circle in last year’s CTF production of Wait Until Dark.

“I can relate to Libby because both of us carry a lot of hope inside of our heart,” says Smyth. “We both fantasize about the future and plan out important conversations so that we’re well rehearsed in the actual situation. We both seem

like very confident people but have to combat a lot of fear inside of ourselves. We’re always trying to be positive about life but are constantly battling negative voices inside of ourselves.”

Smyth also likes her character’s bravery. “The fact that she made a plan and stuck by it even though she had no idea what would happen when she reached her destination. She had to go find her father because she wanted to let go of the hostility she had towards him. She wanted to go forth in her life without carrying that around. She did something for her own well being at a fairly young age. I also love the way she’s unabashedly herself, with no qualms about others’ perception of her. She just does her thing. When I was 19 I was the same way.”

Libby is inspired by actress Jane Fonda, still a major Hollywood icon after five decades.

Turns out so is Smyth, who was impacted in a big way when she read the actor/activist’s autobiography in 2010. “At the time I had no idea, but now I see that book as a catalyst for change in my own life, change that has taken six years to manifest, and continues to do so.”

For Vickers, the character of Herb is “a middle-aged, intelligent, articulate, Hollywood script writer at a crisis point in his life. He’s reached this point due to immaturity. But he has a wonderful child-like sense of humour. He takes delight in making others laugh. I’m pretty sure he was a class clown.

He can be someone who is self-

ish, stubborn, lazy, fearful, and loves to blame others for his failures...but don’t we all? He’s human. So when Libby enters the picture, there’s a fantastic collision of immaturity and intellect which is the fuel for wonderful theatrical conflict resulting in high comedy and sensitive vulnerability.”

Vickers received critical kudos for last year’s performance as the eccentric Victor Velasco in another Simon comedy, Barefoot in the Park, and has also appeared in the Festival’s Blithe Spirit as the skeptical Dr. Bradman. A performer who seeks out a large variety of roles, he plays on stages across the country on a regular basis. He will also appear in a very different role as Inspector Goole in the festival’s third production, the gripping mystery An Inspector Calls, in which a body has been found and everyone is suspect.

The festival’s expanded seventh season also includes a production of George Bernard Shaw’s Arms and the Man as well as two theatrical historic walking tours: Perth through the Ages features “River of Memory,” a new play about early Indigenous/settler relations at the time of Perth’s founding, while “A Taste of Perth” is this year’s show for the Friday night Lonely Ghosts Walk, a musical romp about the battle between whiskey distillers and feisty temperance women.

Sunflower Festival gears up for Mel’s Farm Aug. 7 at Kricklewood Farm Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Plans are moving along for this year’s Sunflower Festival at Kricklewood Farm near Frankville. The benefit event is a fundraiser for Mel’s Farm and All Animal Rescue.

“We’re finalizing details and plans are moving along well,” said Dale Horeczy of Kricklewood Farm.

The farm will be a beehive of activities including some new and exciting options for the young and young at heart.

“New this year will be a colouring contest for kids,” Horeczy said.

The colouring pages will be available for download at www.kricklewoodfarm.com, on the grounds during the day, or kids can get their hands on them prior to the event at local retailers where the Kricklewood products - oils, including a new line of infusions, and soaps - are sold.

Those outlets include: The Garden Market and C’est Tout Bakery in Smiths Falls; the Butcher Shop in Brockville, the Tincap Berry Farm; Foodsmiths and Purest in Perth; Dandelion Foods in Almonte; the Granary and Cheddar Stop and the Beckwith Butcher in Carleton Place, and at Mrs. McGarrigle’s Fine Food Shop in Merrickville. The products are also sold at farmers’ markets in Carp and at the Kingston Memorial Centre.

“Our merchant outlets have been outstanding in offering support for the festival,” Horeczy said. “They are providing a lot of gifts items.”

These items will be offered as prizes, in gift baskets and up for grabs at a silent auction as well.

The Sunflower Festival at Kricklewood Farm Aug. 7 will benefit Mel’s Farm and All Animal Rescue. Visitors will have a chance to take a barnyard tour and get up close and personal with some baby goats and pot bellied pigs and see some beautiful heritage egg-laying hens, like Wyandottes, Orpingtons, Salmon Faverrolles, Mottled Houdans, Ameraucanas to name a few. Above right, a photo from a previous crop during a drought year, similar to this one. will be available as well.

To whet the appetite in “Tasting Alley”, there will be an appetizer cookoff where for $10 guests can decide on favourite appetizers from delicacies offered by some local chefs. Details are still being firmed up for this, but expect some great local flavours using some of the sunflower oil that will be available for purchase as well.

A farmers’ market type of activity is always popular, and as a perennial favourite, this aspect of the fundraiser

has increased to 30 vendors.

A barnyard tour is another favourite draw for people to this festival and folks can have the opportunity to walk the grounds and pet some goats, like Charlene (inset to the left, above), one of three baby Nubians born this year.

“We had 15 babies - many are multiple births, but normally it’s two. We had a set of triplets this year,” Horeczy said. “Charlene is bottle fed.”

This is to ensure she has enough food, since her mom had two boys

in this kidding and they are the more dominant ones when it comes to nursing, Horeczy explained.

Kat Durant will be at the event taking photos of people and their pets.

Dogs are welcome.

“Well behaved dogs on leashes are welcomed,” Horeczy said.

Some ambiance music will be provided by Vine Rhymes of Smiths Falls. And of course, don’t forget the walk through the sunflowers. Horeczy said that the plants shouldn’t be af-

fected too much by the dry conditions as they are pretty drought-resistant.

There are about 30 acres of sunflowers growing this year and they are about three feet high as of this week.

“We’ll have bouquets of sunflowers available for sale as well,” he said.

A donation of $10 for a bouquet will go to the fundraising effort.

Volunteers decked out in yellow T-shirts will be able to help visitors navigate the day, including ample free parking.

Police bike helmet campaign awards lucky local youth with new bicycle Amy Hogue

ahogue@metroland.com

Smiths Falls Police’s Bike Helmet Campaign awarded 10-year-old Raeann McLaughlin with a new bicycle from Canadian Tire on Friday, July 8, the culmination of a four-week bicycle safety campaign operated in conjunction with Smiths Falls Police, Crime Stoppers, and Canadian Tire.

The Bike Helmet Campaign is a four-week program where police officers seek out young cyclists who are wearing helmets and enter them in a draw to win one of four $25 Canadian Tire gift cards, courtesy of Smiths Falls and District Crime Stoppers, and a new bicycle, courtesy of Smiths Falls Canadian Tire.

Smiths Falls Police Constable and Community Service Officer, Dave Murphy, explained that the bike helmet campaign is a good way of promoting bicycle safety in the community, and supporting positive interaction between local youth and officers.

“It’s a win-win program,” Murphy said. “There’s an $80 fine for not wearing a helmet but if you fall off your bike without one it could be a life changing experience.”

McLaughlin received a ballot after participating in a ride program at her school, Chimo Elementary, one of two schools in the community who

participated in the ride program this year. Murphy said 75 children went through the program that offered information and instruction on hand signals and bike safety as well as ensuring helmets were well-fitted.

According to Murphy, the Bike Helmet Campaign is an initiative introduced by police Chief Bob Dowdall six years ago to get more kids wearing helmets. The campaign has been operating for five years and Murphy confirms it will be continuing into 2017.

Joe Cayen, Canadian Tire franchise owner, was so thrilled with the program after hearing about it during his first year in Smiths Falls, that he sent information about the program back to Saskatchewan, where they will be implementing the program there as well. Cayen said the program is beneficial in two ways: it gets kids out riding bikes and gets them wearing helmets to keep them safe.

“We sell a ton of bikes in town,” Cayen said. “We’re trying to get kids to start wearing helmets, we want kids safe.”

Murphy confirmed the Bike Helmet Campaign will take place again next year, giving another lucky youth the chance to win their own bicycle and helmet from Canadian Tire, among other prizes.

This year the police service distributed more than 100 tickets/ballots.

Economic development plan sent back for revision for second time Amy Hogue

ahogue@metroland.com

It’s the second kick at the can for the Economic Development and Tourism Plan, and council has once again sent the plan back for further revision. Commentary from EDAC and staff that was included in a report

by Economic Development Manager, Cyril Cooper, drew concern from members of council, coupled with the lack of an action plan, timelines and a complete budgetary breakdown.

Cooper first presented the draft plan to council on May 18, but formal approval by council was delayed pending participation and review of the Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC), staff and council.

Having received that feedback, Cooper presented the revised draft to council at committee of the whole (COW) on July 11, but council was

still not satisfied with some of the details.

Cooper had included some of the comments from EDAC into the body of a report for council’s review, and one of those comments in particular drew some concern from several members of council. The comment stated, “Create a reward system for town staff to encourage approvals for applications to move faster.”

“Isn’t that like bonusing staff ?”

Counc. John Maloney asked Cooper.

Maloney also questioned why an action plan and timeframe that EDAC requested wasn’t included in the final version of the plan. Cooper agreed the committee had been looking for a one-pager with timelines to be brought back to EDAC, but said it wasn’t included in the plan because he was “trying to keep it simple.”

Cooper pointed out that the timelines are tied to council’s strategic priorities, and that there are 19 strategic

priorities identified this year, and the plan follows those priorities.

Coun. Lorraine Allen stressed that she liked many parts of the plan, calling the tourism portion of the plan “exemplary,” but agreed with Maloney on several points.

“There was an expectation (from EDAC) that we would see it with comments in it, especially the timeline… I think that was critical to the group,” Allen said. “We wanted something concrete.”

Allen also questioned whether or not EDAC had seen the final, revised version being presented to council.

“I won’t be accepting this, what’s the point in having a committee if they’re not going to see the final draft?”

Coun. Jay Brennan said he wasn’t supportive of the fact that there wasn’t a complete budgetary breakdown in the plan, given the overall budget for varying Economic Development and Tourism projects was $328,000.

“If we’re going to approve a plan to spend $328,000 I’d like to see exactly what the cost is,” Brennan said. “I understand the budget has already been passed but that doesn’t mean we have to spend that.”

Mayor Shawn Pankow said he agreed in principal with the methodology and objectives in the plan but would like to see a timeline included, among other things.

“There are some things I’d like to see modified,” Pankow said. “I don’t know if we need to go over every sentence.”

Pankow also agreed with Maloney and Allen and said he doesn’t think it’s necessary “to bonus people for doing their jobs.”

CAO Malcolm Morris said the purpose of the presentation was to initiate discussion and feedback to bring council closer to a final plan, noting that the last time the plan was presented there were audio visual issues.

Morris suggested bringing back a final plan in two weeks, but also expressed concerns that mirrored Maloney’s about bonusing staff for work achieved.

“The idea of bonusing staff, I think we need to have discussion around that,” Morris said, and added that he thinks that the purpose of the comment was intended to create a culture within town hall that stressed customer service.

Cooper said he was trying to move the plan along and receive formal approval from council given the pending Irish twinning project and that approving the plan was a way of providing council approval and support for the twinning.

Morris said he felt that the Irish twinning approval could be provided through resolution instead.

The plan will come back to council at a future meeting for further review and discussion.

Town council discusses new signage Landlord’s inspection reveals several hundreds in damage and payment in lieu of parking

The following briefs are from the committee of the whole (COW) meeting on Monday, July 11, 2016.

Davidson Courtyard new signage An exemption to the sign bylaw was requested by Davidson Courtyard for the construction of two free-standing signs on the property. The new signage will include a free-standing sign at the northwest corner of the courtyard, and will provide a store directory for the businesses inside. A second sign will feature a round sign hanging from a post about three feet from the lot line, and will be lit using solar LED lighting.

In a report to council, town planner, Katelyn Morphet, indicated the sign is in keeping with the historical feel of the property and buildings.

Overall council was supportive of the request, although the matter will need to return to council for a formal resolution at a future meeting.

Smiths Falls explores Irish twinning project, mayor to travel to Ireland Amy Hogue

ahogue@metroland.com

The town of Smiths Falls will be exploring a formal twinning with the Irish town of Carnew, in County Wicklow, Ireland, as part of the Coollattin Canadian Connection, a project aimed at connecting the Canadian descendants of those who endured forced migrations to Canada in the 1800s. At a committee of the whole (COW) meeting on July 11, Mayor Shawn Pankow called the twinning project “a natural fit” and an exciting opportunity for the town to explore.

The Irish history in Smiths Falls is extensive, Economic Development and Tourism Coordinator, Ingrid Bron, told council at the meeting. In the 1840s during the Irish Great Famine, and between the dates of 1847 to 1856, more than 6,000 people were force-migrated from the Coollattin Estate in County Wicklow, Ireland, many of whom landed in Smiths Falls and the surrounding region.

At the time, the Coollattin estate was owned by the Fitzwilliam family, who attempted to help former tenants on their estate find productive labour in Canada. The Ambassador of Canada to Ireland, His Excellency,

Mr. Kevin Vickers, recently visited the Coollattin Estate and launched the Coollattin Canadian Connection.

Bron told council the town was first approached by Kevin Lee, an Irish historian of the Coollattin Estate and Carnew, and the project leader of the Coollattin Canadian Connection who visited Smiths Falls in 2014. While in Smiths Falls, Lee noted that the graveyards in Smiths Falls contained similar names to those in County Wicklow.

“In the 1870s over 50 per cent of the town of Smiths Falls were Irish,” Bron said, noting that the “Carnew twinning will give Irish descendants in Canada and Ireland something to gravitate around.”

Pankow said that the percentage of Irish descendants in Smiths Falls may be close to 50 per cent even today, and pointed out that when you look at some of the names of the families who migrated from Ireland, many of them are common names in Smiths Falls and area. One familiar name is Balfe; members of the Balfe family migrated to Canada and settled on what is now the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club, where a plaque commemorates the family today.

Other possible surnames of settlers

Amy Hogue/METROLAND

Economic Development and Tourism Coordinator, Ingrid Bron, spoke of the Irish twinning of Smiths Falls with the town of Carnew, County Wicklow, Ireland, that would connect Smiths Falls with the ancestors of many of the settlers to the community in the 1800s. in Smiths Falls and area are Byrne, Carr, Clare, Coghlan, Dagg, Doyle, Eagers, Jackson, Kenny, Lowman, Murphy, Pearson, Pierce, Rickby, Tallant, Tallon, Timmons and Whelan.

“Many of these are very common names in this community,” Pankow said.

Pankow will be travelling to Carnew, Ireland with his family this summer for a family vacation, to further explore the Irish twinning and

establish connections with County Wicklow and Carnew representatives.

Pankow’s trip to Ireland will be a personal expense, with no impact on taxpayers.

Coun. Dawn Quinn said she was enthusiastic about the twinning project, stating, “I’ve been around council for a while, and I haven’t seen anything like this coming forward.”

Quinn pointed to the town of Perth’s relationship with the Scottish town

of Perth, and how that relationship helped Perth draw 4,000 kilted runners to town for this year’s Guiness World Record breaking Kilt Run. “Imagine what we could do in Smiths Falls,” Quinn said.

In a press release from the town, the Irish historian, Lee, stated: “Our community here would feel very honoured to build a bridge with the town and community which reached out and offered a new home to thousands of our people who were assisted in emigrating to Canada by Lord Fitzwilliam, the 19th century owner of the 90,000-acre Coollattin Estate in South Wicklow.”

The town will be passing a resolution at the next council meeting in formal support of the twinning with Carnew, but has also planned for an information session for the public on Tuesday, July 26, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. Members of the public are invited to bring their own family stories and historical information forward to assist with research as part of the twinning with Carnew.

Information about the Coollattin migration and the history of Irish settlement in Smiths Falls will be shared at the meeting.

Partnership in Rideau Lakes helps eliminate carbon monoxide deaths Enbridge Gas Distribution, the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council and Rideau Lakes Fire & Rescue announced Monday, July 11 they are partnering to improve home safety and bring fire and carbon monoxide-related deaths down to zero.

Rideau Lakes Fire & Rescue received 126 combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms through Project Zero – a public education campaign that is providing a total of 3,330 alarms to residents in 15 Ontario municipalities. This year, Enbridge invested $100,000 in Project Zero.

Since 2009, Project Zero has been launched in 78 Ontario communities.

Last August, Thorold Fire & Emergency Services responded to a report of a carbon monoxide alarm being ac-

tivated at a Richmond Street address.

The responding fire crew, coincidentally, were the crew that attended the residence in October 2014 to install carbon monoxide alarms as a part of the Project Zero program. Through this partnership - and the resources supplied by Enbridge and the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council - Thorold Fire & Emergency Services were able to ventilate the home and divert a potentially tragic situation.

When properly installed and maintained, combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms help provide the early warning that is needed to safely escape from a house fire or carbon monoxide exposure.

Carbon monoxide is a toxic, odourless gas that is a by-product of incom-

plete combustion of many types of common fuels. It is important that all fuel-burning equipment be properly maintained to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.

Carbon monoxide alarms are recommended as a second line of defense to protect against the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.

“Safety is a top priority at Enbridge and we are committed to helping ensure that there are no deaths due to carbon monoxide exposure in Ontario,” says Mark Wilson, Enbridge Gas Distribution. “This partnership will help educate customers about the importance of installing a combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm as well as properly maintaining fuel-burning equipment.”

“The ongoing partnership between Enbridge Gas Distribution and the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council for Project Zero has resulted in the distribution of over 24,000 combination alarms in Ontario communities,” says Arthur Pullan, Executive Director of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council. “Working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms save lives and we are proud to support this program in an effort to help ensure the safety of Ontario residents who may have otherwise not been able to have these life-saving devices in their homes.”

Jay DeBernardi, Fire Chief of Rideau Lakes Fire & Rescue stated, “Working with our community partners we will be able to distribute these

life saving devices to those at risk in the community who may not otherwise be able to afford or install them.

This will be done as part of our department’s Smoke and CO alarm program. The corporate partnership with Enbridge enables us to protect even more vulnerable residents in the community when municipal budgets are tight.”

“The collaboration of the right blend of government agencies and the private sector, can create partnerships that can strengthen our communities and aid in assisting our residents,” said Mayor Ron Holman of Rideau Lakes Township.

Public invited to have their say in town’s rebranding discussions Amy Hogue

ahogue@metroland.com

The marketing agency, Cinnamon Toast, was in Smiths Falls last week to get public insight into the rebranding of the town’s image and website, and held a total of five meetings designed to ensure the pubic had their say on what imagery would best represent their town.

The first meeting was held on Wednesday, July 6, and included members of council and municipal staff, while a second meeting was held the same afternoon for community stakeholders and organizations. Two additional meetings open to the public were scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday evening to ensure that every community member has the opportunity to have their say.

At the July 6 meeting for community stakeholders, Cinnamon Toast executive director, Amber Burgess and Content Strategist, Kiki French, presented to a group of approximately 20 community representatives, engaging them in the rebranding brainstorming process designed to get a glimpse into how the community sees Smiths Falls.

Burgess explained that Cinnamon Toast has been around for 10 years, and started as a design agency. Over the years the company changed direction and branched off into a full service marketing and digital agency. Today, Cinnamon Toast has a team of 15 and the in-house expertise to provide a full range of services for clients.

Burgess’ opened the presentation explaining the purpose of the rebranding is to create a visual identity that generates excitement and encourages tourism, investment and relocation to the community. A brand was described as a person’s “gut feeling” about a company, and

Potvin said that at the time the CTA decided the city hadn’t discontinued the railway because at that time they hadn’t torn up the tracks.

“Now they’ve torn up the tracks, we’re going back to CTA and asking them to re-open that case,” Potvin said. “Our purpose is not to create grief to the City of Ottawa but to protect an asset…if we cannot cross that bridge, we don’t have Moose.”

According to Potvin, the railway is governed by the Canada Transportation Act, and specifically, section 138 protects the legal obligation to share a railway asset. The reason behind section 138, Potvin said, is because “although you can build roads everywhere you can’t rebuild train tracks.”

“When we’re taking the City of Ottawa to court we’re not lambasting, we’re simply defending the integrity of the railway,” Potvin said, but stressed that “we’ve got to defend the railway integrity as we develop our plan, if we just develop our plan and let the Prince of Wales Bridge be disconnected then our business development has been for naught.”

In terms of timeframe for the complaint process, Potvin said the people at the CTA are aware of the dynamic at play.

Potvin calls the process in getting the railway up and running “a marathon” but always moving in a forward direction.

Potvin said Smiths Falls could see trains running as early as 2018, a slight shift from the 2017 that was first anticipated, but that the delay is necessary to preserve the railway. The timeline

exploring how residents and business owners in Smiths Falls feel about the community is an important component to the rebrand.

“We’re really excited with the Smiths Falls’ project,” Burgess said, calling Smiths falls the ideal project that gives the company the opportunity to work with the community to rebrand.

“You live here, you work here, we want to hear what you have to say.”

According to French, a rebrand will accomplish a number of goals, including providing a competitive advantage over neighbouring communities, providing economic value, setting expectations and improving recognition, and inspiring brand ambassadors, among others.

“What are you guys really proud of and how can we share that?” French asked.

The group of community stakeholders participated in a series of informal exercises intended to get a sense of how they see Smiths Falls and how they would like it to be seen in the future. One of the exercises involved identifying which of a set of provided words best representing Smiths Falls, and the group selected vibrant, community, forward thinking, alternate and historic. Another exercise involved selecting imagery that evoked a positive feeling.

There were also questions about specific functions participants would like to see form the website, which drew responses ranging from having the ability to pay bills and register for recreational programs online to more imagery and video components.

At the completion of the session, Burgess explained the next steps will be to analyze the responses from the public survey and sessions and put together a Creative Brief for council, which will identify the audiences Smiths Falls will be targeting. The rebranding is expected to

outlined by Potvin is dependant on the result of the complaint process against the City of Ottawa, and whether or not the CTA supports Moose’s position.

“Then it becomes a business decision of whether we reckon we can push through our objectives,” Potvin said, adding that it depends on whether or not financiers deem it likely that the Prince of Wales Bridge will be part of the rail system.

Moose submitted its application for a Certificate of Fitness on June 29, embarking on a process that takes up to 120 days, and will give Moose Consortium the authorization to develop the railway in a business and physical sense, and would make the Moose commuter train a federally regulated railway. Potvin noted the irony that the application was submitted on June 29, which also happened to be the 125th anniversary of the opening of Ottawa’s electric streetcars, which were subsequently removed in the 1960s.

According to Potvin, the company that operated the streetcars was a private consortium and the city of Ottawa was opposed to the development at the time.

The city is spending billions of dollars to develop a new rail system that could potentially have cost less by using previously existing infrastructure from the electric streetcars.

Potvin said the 400 kilometres of railway proposed by Moose is an environmentally friendly project that will reduce carbon emission by 20,000 tonnes per year.

“I don’t know of any other project in Canada right now that would reduce emissions by that volume,” Potvin said.

be unveiled with the new website, by the end of December 2016.

Burgess acknowledged that it was up to council if the rebrand would be released prior to the website completion.

Public participation ‘disappointing’ The meetings included two sessions for staff and council to participate, one session for community stakeholders and two evening sessions for the public.

Economic Development manager, Cyril Cooper, told council on July 11 that participation numbers for the staff and council sessions totalled 10 people in the first session and 13 in the second for a total of 25 participants. The

community stakeholder session had 57 invitations distributed with only 14 attending, but it’s the public session participation which was particularly dismal, with a total of only five participants, three people the first day and two people the second.

“It’s pretty disappointing when we only saw five people from the community show up,” Coun. John Maloney said, adding that “one of those was my wife and the other was a friend.”

Cooper said he had been speaking with Mayor Shawn Pankow to discuss the possibility of hosting another session, one with more leadtime and a later start time to make it easier for people to attend. The sessions last week were held from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

This American golf finch was photographed by Craig Bolton as he spotted it in town recently.

atching the U.S. implode with violence following the police shootings of two African-American men over the period of only a few days, it strikes me that as Canadians we are fortunate that for the most part we don’t have to be afraid of our police officers, and in fact most of us inherently trust officers to be there to protect and serve us in our time of need.

Over Canada Day weekend I was traveling in the U.S. and I have to admit that while at first I didn’t think twice about maybe inching over the speed limit a few times, at one point when a State Police cruiser pulled in behind me I had a brief moment of very illuminating second thoughts.

Now to be clear, I am not African American, I am actually as Caucasian as you can get, with a mixture of Scottish and Irish heritage, and I don’t pretend to understand how an African-American might feel when getting pulled over in the states. But as a Caucasian, I was still nervous.

Suddenly, all the videos I’d watched where seemingly innocent people were shot and killed in encounters with U.S. police, in interactions that one would think should never have escalated to that level of violence, flashed through my mind.

So when the police cruiser pulled in behind me all this was flying through my mind, and for the first time in any encounter I’ve ever had with a police officer, I felt fear. I felt the fear of knowing that I literally had no control over what would happen next.

That I was at the mercy of someone who I could only hope would behave ethically and morally, and not take advantage of superior strength and position.

In Canada, I consider myself fortunate to have never had a moment’s hesitation when being pulled over by the police. I respect and admire all police officers who place their lives on the line for the public they serve.

While I can acknowledge that some Canadian officers can behave inappropriately and respond with an inappropriate level of violence to some situations, at the same time I really can’t relate to the level of stress they must face on a daily basis when dealing with situations that can likely be downright scary.

AMY HOGUE Amy’s Attitude In Canada, a police officer pulling over a vehicle can pretty much make the careful assumption that the person or people inside the vehicle are most likely unarmed. The only person in that interaction with a weapon is the officer himself. In the states, they don’t have that level of relative comfort; they may actually need to assume that everyone is carrying a weapon and could pull it out at any time and start shooting.

While everyone will have some unpleasant thoughts about police when they’re pulled over for some tiny infraction, or when some officer is less than pleasant when dealing with them, I still feel fortunate to be able to trust the very people who are there to protect my family and I. To not feel fear when being pulled over. To know they are there to help.

While in the states I was fortunate to be able to have a conversation with an American from Albany, New York, about the issue of gun control in the U.S. The man I was speaking with was clear that he completely values his right to bear arms, and would fight to the death to protect that right. My new friend was licensed to carry a weapon and also owns several hunting rifles and a semi-automatic weapon, which he explained was also for hunting purposes.

I tried to explain to him the way it is in Canada, and how for the vast majority of the population, no one owns a gun unless you’re a hunter or gun collector. His take on it was “how do you protect yourself ?” My response was “from whom?”

From my fellow Canadians? From my police officers?

If there is one out of every 10,000 people who carry a gun with intent to harm others, does that mean the other 9,999 people should also carry a gun to defend themselves? It makes no logical sense.

I believe, and I told my American friend, that the issue of gun control and officer shootings are linked.

COLUMN

Michael, Ford of Canada, Marketing

From page SF8

I’m not excusing the actions of officers who shoot unarmed people, Caucasian or African-American or any race, without just cause, and I’m a believer in defensive, not offensive policing.

The point is there is a bigger problem at hand, and everyone seems too busy pointing fingers to see the bigger picture, the implosion of the American culture, the degradation of one segment of the population, and the inherent societal distrust of officials, particularly police.

I’m not sure what the answer is, I don’t really know if there even is an answer, but I’m just really glad I live in a community where I can live without fear, where I don’t feel the need to carry a gun to protect myself or my family. If I’m ever pulled over for speeding in Canada again, I’ll be sure to thank the officer who pulled me over, and who knows, he or she may let me off with a warning.

Correction In an article published June 20 on

www.insideottawavalley.com about the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cancer Classic golf tournament in Smiths Falls, it should have stated that Canadian Cancer Society invests $6 million per year in the geographical area of Frontenac, Lennox & Addington & The Waterways, and the Kingston office is responsible to raise $1 million of that amount. The article incorrectly stated that the society raises $6 million annually. The Record News apologizes for the error.

The end of an era at Montague Fire Department as Chief Haskins retires Amy Hogue

ahogue@metroland.com

It’s the end of an era at the Montague Fire Department, as firefighters, staff and council say good-bye to long-time fire Chief Ron Haskins, who has been with the department since its inception more than 40 years ago.

Haskins, who was officially retired as of July 4, will be staying on in an advisory capacity until Nov. 30 to assist with the transition of the new chief, former deputy-chief Miles Greer.

Haskins has been serving as chief for 30 years, and deputy-chief for an additional 10 years, dating back to when the department was first formed on April 1, 1976, when the township decided it was time to start providing fire protection service to residents. Haskins said when he first became involved in the department there wasn’t much there to work with.

“We built it from scratch, we started with nothing, absolutely nothing,” Haskins said. “We had an old tanker we weren’t sure would get us to the calls, and now look where we are today.”

According to Haskins, 40 years ago firefighters wore glorified raincoats and rubber boots, a far cry from the professional bunker gear and breathing apparatus used by firefighters today.

Today, the Montague Fire Department has five trucks, and houses the Lanark County Rescue Unit, not to mention Haskins’ newest additions to the asset list, a new creek truck and new All Terrain Vehicle (ATV).

“Those were my last two projects,” Haskins said, noting the department has “come a long way” over the last 40 years.

Back in the days when Haskins first started, there were no pagers and if there was a fire call volunteer firefighters followed a phone tree to let other firefighters know of the situation.

Training has also come a long way over the past several decades, and now fire departments are required to adhere to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards.

“Miles has got his work cut out for him,” Haskins laughed, referring to keeping up with and ensuring the new standards are met.

Average calls for the Montague Fire Department total approximately 67 calls per year, based on an accounting between 1982 and 2015. Haskins explained that calls have always

been fairly high in Montague, especially when INSIDE the fire department responded to calls from the brockville Rideau Regional Centre, back when it was still operational.

In Montague, one requirement for the fire chief is thatkingston they also be licensed as a water technician, REGION something that means Haskins, and now Greer, will need to “wear a few hats.”

Greer has been with the department for 22 years, serving as captain for seven of those INSIDE years and deputy chief for the last year and a belleville half. Greer refers to Haskins’ position as “big shoes to fill,” but appears up for the challenge.

Haskins will be staying on to assist with Greer’s transition to the new position, and bring him up to speed on the administration end of the department.

“We want a smooth transition,” Haskins stressed. “We want the department to continue on as it has been…moving forward.”

A smooth transition is something Montague Reeve Bill Dobson explained is important from a succession planning perspective. Dobson has been with council and working with Haskins for 10 years, and said he’s impressed with the progress he’s seen with the department over the years.

“To see a municipal fire department expand like this over the past 40 years is pretty amazing,” Dobson said, noting that the recently purchased ATV, that was one of Haskins last projects, has already been used twice in the month since its purchase.

Looking ahead, Haskins cryptically explained he isn’t interested in looking for a job or looking for work, but he’ll “probably be looking for something to do.” .COM

Letter to the Editor

Taxpayers not well served by current animal control agreement: reader The following letter was submitted to the town council at its committee of the whole meeting on June 27. Council awarded the contract to Frontenac Municipal Law Enforcement at the same meeting.

DEAR EDITOR,

It has been brought to my attention that the contract for animal control was up for renewal with the recommendation that council renew with the current service for another three-year term.

It is my belief that the taxpayers of Smiths Falls are not being well served by having our animal control serviced by Kingston. I have dealt with the services of Frontenac Municipal Law Enforcement Inc., and have found them to be not easily accessible. They do not deal with many of the services they state are included.

For calls regarding safety issues, nuisance and noise and concern for neglected or abused animals, I was told they did not deal with those issues and that I needed to contact police or

The Garden of the Month for June is located at 29 Catherine St., the home of Allison and Dennis Staples.

The garden has slowly evolved into what is now a pleasing mixture of annuals.

Congratulations from the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society.

OSPCA. Our previous animal control officer was not only local but was familiar with the area and residents. When needed, they would promptly return your call, assess the situation and deal with it by getting in touch with the proper authorities and not “passing the buck” back to the person who called. The fact that our animal control has to drive from Kingston is ludicrous.

Rather, it is more of a huge inconvenience to the citizens of the town and because of that they may not bother using the service. Therefore the welfare of our animals is at risk.

In closing, the comment being submitted to council stating, “The appointment of the animal control services assists in creation of a healthy community and our citizens quality of life,” will only hold true if we return the contract to our previous local animal control officer.

Sincerely, Chris Gray Smiths Falls

Quattrocchi’s advice after round-the-world trip: find your own bicycle ride Amy Hogue

ahogue@metroland.com

It’s been a long and wild ride for local resident, Mark Quattrocchi, who spent two years on a round-theworld cycling trip and completing a life-long goal, something something he advises everyone should do. While Quattrocchi understands that not everyone will want to ride around the world, everyone will have their own “bicycle ride” that they just need to discover.

“The bike ride for me was something I always wanted to do but I thought I’d never do it,” Quattrocchi said, explaining that to get things rolling he just “started telling people this was what I was going to do and made that my focus for everything.”

Quattrocchi’s trip started in China in July 2014, and from there he travelled across Asia, down into India, then through Europe, and down into Africa, where he took a plane across the ocean to Buenos Aires. From Buenos Aires, he made his way through exotic locales like Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru, where he said he had to put his bike on

only imagine.

One of the things Quattrocchi said he learned while on his travels that contrary to misconceptions out there, people in general are friendly and helpful.

While Quattrocchi admitted there were times he was “a little bit scared” or intimidated entering into countries with a history of violence, he called the experience “eye opening” when he realized this was a misconception.

“People are just people,” Quattrocchi said, explaining he travelled through war-torn countries, including Afghanistan.

“People were nothing but nice to me, I never feared for my life, if anything people were too nice.”

Quattrocchi brought his own camping gear with him that included a tent, stove, and extra food and water, and would make every attempt to camp along the way to save money.

Before leaving on his trip, Quattrocchi said he knew he wanted to do something more with it than just travel around the world. After some research, he decided to support Free the Children, an international charity and educational partner.

Toward that end, Quattrocchi decided to raise $10,000 through his travels, in order to build a school for a community in need through Free the Children.

He said he hadn’t even left China when he had already met that goal, and so he revised his ambition to raise funds for five schools, or $50,000.

Today, he’s only $2,500 shy of his $50,000 goal, and thanks to his efforts there are now schools in China, Rajasthan, India, Kenya, and a fourth one underway in Ecuador.

Fundraising for the most part came through his website, from people he met along the way, friends and family, and local schools and schools in other communities. One school in Brockville raised $4,000 over the twoyear span.

“I couldn’t have done it without them,” Quattrocchi said of all his fundraising support.

Quattrocchi said now that he’s completed his trip his goal is to write a book and he is hoping to change his website into something that helps others find their own “bicycle ride.”

Quattrocchi stressed that the fulfillment of a life-long goal doesn’t come easily, and as with anything worthwhile, it takes a lot of time, planning and effort.

“It’s hard…you’re going to want to quit along the way,” Quattrocchi said.

“But if you put your heart into it you’ll be happy with the outcome, even if you fail at it, it’s better to try something and have that regret.”

Quattrocchi spoke at St. James the Greater in Smiths Falls, on Monday, July 11, to give a presentation outlining his experiences, what he accomplished, and to take the first step on helping others to follow their dreams.

The RCMP Musical Ride was a sell-out in Perth last month as the Perth Agricultural Society and the Alzheimer’s Society hosted the event, spliting nearly $16,000. Smiths Falls is looking to bring the Musical Ride to Smiths Falls next year.

The RCMP Musical Ride could be coming to the Smiths Falls area in 2017, thanks to a partnership between the Heritage House Museum and the Lombardy Agricultural Society.

Council was told of the possibility at a committee of the whole (COW) meeting on July 11, brought forward

by Coun. Jay Brennan, who also sits on the Heritage House Museum committee.

Brennan told council that in 2015 the museum applied to bring the musical ride to Smiths Falls, but were unsuccessful with their application at the time. Recently, the RCMP reached out to the museum again, suggesting that they reapply given that the musical ride would be in the area in 2017. The RCMP also provided the museum with recommendations to make their application more successful in bringing the popular equestrian show to their community.

“The undertaking of the musical ride is quite big,” Brennan pointed out. “The application is due by the end of the week.”

The museum will partner with the Lombardy Agricultural Society for the application, which came as one of the recommendations from the RCMP. Other recommendations

By holding the ride in Lombardy, it would also provide the opportunity to partner with a neighbouring municipality, Brennan said, which could strengthen the town’s application.

CAO Malcolm Morris suggested an expression of interest from the town of Smiths Falls might be sufficient to provide evidence of support for the project, and said he would ensure a letter was drafted in time for the deadline on Friday of this week. .COM

Smiths Falls Police Staff Sergeant Richard Labelle has combined two passions – policing and history – to draw attention to officers killed in the line of duty but forgotten in the annals of history. Labelle, who has served with the Smiths Falls Police department for 22 years, has brought eight officers killed in the line of duty to the attention of the Ontario Police Memorial Foundation, where they were ultimately inscribed on the memorial, in Toronto.

Labelle explained he first stumbled upon information about fallen officers while researching for his book about the history of the Smiths Falls Police Service. With a passion for history and subscriptions to old newspaper archives, Labelle said he would often read through newspapers out of general interest, and that was how he came across information about fallen officers who weren’t recorded on the Ontario Police Memorial.

“I found an article about a police officer in Toronto who had died,” Labelle said. “I found it quite interesting that he had died and his name wasn’t on the memorial… it started me on this side project.”

The Ontario Police Memorial is a stone wall inscribed with the names of all police officers who have died in the line of duty. Each May police officers from all over gather for a ceremony to remember fallen officers. Labelle described the ceremony, held on the first Sunday in May, as the “Remembrance Day for police officers.”

To date, Labelle has brought eight officers to the attention of the memorial foundation, who maintain the Ontario Police Memorial. Once provided with the names and any information Labelle can come up with to substantiate the claim, the memorial foundation launches their own investigation that often involves contacting family members of the deceased.

“For me it’s satisfying to see their names

added, it’s quite an impressive ceremony,” Labelle said, adding that this project “started out as something close to me, something personal.”

The officers discovered by Labelle span a wide range of time periods, from 1880 to 1942.

This year, Labelle provided information on three names for officers killed in 1880, 1922, and 1928.

All three were county constables, and essentially functioned as part-time police officers.

Labelle referred to the earliest discovery he had made regarding County Constable John Morrison, who was killed in Russell County in 1880. Morrison was a part-time officer who was confronted at a farm by a man he had dealt with in the past, and was shot and eventually died from his wounds.

“They all have different stories,” Labelle said, recalling another officer killed in 1922 who discovered three men entering a hardware store and confronted them, only to die from his efforts. “I live for this stuff.”

Labelle said that for him, reading through old newspapers is like a step back in time, one that he is happy to dive into for hours at a time. One of the interesting parts of reading old newspapers, Labelle said, is the way the style in newspaper writing has changed over the years.

According to Labelle, early newspaper reports from the 1880s read more like literature, with ample description, something which Labelle believes could be due to a lack of photography. By the 1920s and 1930s, newspapers began printing more photos, and the style of writing in the newspapers changed in response.

Labelle’s most recent discovery, his ninth to date, tells the story of a traffic officer near Windsor in 1929 who died in a car accident. Labelle attributes his interest in the history of fallen officers to an enquiring mind that also serves him well in his role as a police officer.

“It’s tragic to find it but satisfying to bring it forward,” Labelle said. “These men died in the line of duty… this is just something you feel good about doing.”

Del Harper Memorial Tournament another big hit for local ball players Chalk up another big win for the annual Del Harper Memorial Tournament.

The popular weekend tournament is one of Perth and District Little League’s premier events: three days, 16 teams, 30 games, and over 160 players and coaches combine to provide a great showcase of competitive little league baseball. This year marked the 22nd rendition.

Though the games started Friday evening, the tournament’s opening ceremonies took place Saturday morning, with a colour party from the Perth Legion and Town Crier Brent McLaren on hand to open the festivities and lead the crowd in the singing of the national anthem. Members from each of the competing teams also acted as flag bearers.

Members of the Harper family were also on hand for the opening ceremonies.

Del Harper was an avid ball coach and mentor for local little league teams. He had a love of the game that was second to none.

Despite slightly less than ideal weather conditions, this year’s edition of the Del, the 22nd annual, was an unqualified success. Although rain was forecast for most of the weekend, all the games went ahead as scheduled, with only a few minor delays.

And, the rain that did fall did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of the players.

The East Nepean Eagles defeated the Notre Dame de Grace (NDG) Lynx 13-6 to take the Major title, while in the Minor division, the South Ottawa Blues

picked up the Minor title with a 7-5 win over the Orleans Red Sox. The Perth Major Royals made it to the semi-finals, losing to eventual winners East Nepean.

The Del Harper remains a favourite among visiting coaches and players, and tournament director Richard Brown is quick to praise the many volunteers and supporters that helped throughout the weekend.

“You need a lot of dedicated people to pull this off,” said Brown, “from the umpires and scorers to the people who worked the raffle tables and sold 50-50 tickets, it takes a lot of people working together to make this happen, and I can’t thank our team enough.”

The tournament is also a major fundraiser for the league, and this year’s edition featured some great prizes, including raffle table items like a VIA Rail travel voucher, Toronto Blue Jays jersey, and an autographed soccer ball from Toronto FC. Local support was also a big factor in this year’s success. “Our local sponsors and supporters were fantastic,” added Brown. “We couldn’t be happier with the support we’ve received from our local businesses and supporters.”

All in all, a terrific weekend for little league baseball. And with this year’s edition now over, planning starts for next year!

Two Perth Stingrays prepare for national swimming competition Two young swimmers with the Perth Stingrays are celebrating big success in the pool this year.

Megan Wheeler, 12, and Andrew Machan, 13, are headed to their first national competition.

Wheeler and Machan, along with head coach Rod Agar will be heading to Calgary for the Canadian Age Group Championships.

The two swimmers will fly west a couple days before the meet starts so they can adjust to the time change and familiarize themselves with the competition pool. The meet officially starts on July 27 and continues for five days.

These two swimmers spend a lot of time in the pool. They swim 12 hours a week throughout the school year including two mornings a week at 5 a.m. and Saturdays at 6 a.m. In the three weeks leading up to competition they will swim a total of 44 hours. With the amount of time and energy these athletes put into the pool it is hard to believe they have time for other sports but both Wheelr and Machan have represented their high school, Perth and District Collegiate Institute, well this year in many intramural team sports as well as cross-country.

RECYCLE!

In addition they both hold PDCI records for track and field and earned a spot on the podium at the Upper Canada Cup track and field championships last month. Wheeler also travels around Ontario to compete in Youth Triathlons where she has picked up several medals. Machan spends his spare time running 5km races in the area as well as The Perth World Record Kilt Run where he placed seventh overall all out of 2,926 runners.

For the next two weeks the focus will be on swimming while getting lots of encouragement from their fellow swimming mates. Swimming is truly a team sport. Although the sport is based on individual results, you don’t drag yourself out of bed at 4:30 a.m. if you aren’t having fun. The swimmers and their families are very supportive of one another; parents often hang around for hours after their own swimmer is done at a competition so they can cheer on their teammates.

Both these young swimmers hold many Perth Stingray records some of which were on the books for nearly 20 years prior to these two putting their names on them. No doubt they will come home from Calgary with a few more.

Wheeler is currently ranked in the Top 10 in Canada for 12-year-olds in the 400m, 800m and 1,500m freestyle as well as the 50m, 100m and 200m breast stroke and the 200m and 400m individual medley (IM).

Wheeler has had a successful season bringing home several medals from regional and provincial competitions. She could certainly earn herself a spot on the podium at her first national competition. She was named the Most Valuable Swimmer for her group this year at the annual Stingrays’ banquet.

Machan will be swimming the 200m, 400m, 800m and 1,500m freestyle at the upcoming meet. He also finds himself on the national rankings in the Top 30 in Canada and plans to improve on these standings. He has his eye on a new club record, a special one because it is currently held by Stingrays alumni and former Olympian, Mike Brown, who has indicated he hopes Mahon takes it away.

Both swimmers are looking forward to this big meet and the true goal is to swim personal best times and have fun doing it. Swim hard, swim fast!

Megan Wheeler and Andrew Machan of the Perth Stingrays will be heading to Calgary this month to take part in their first national championship.

Men’s Twilight League play The July 7 edition of the SFG&CC Thursday Night Men’s Twilight was co-sponsored by our friends at Mike Fair Chevrolet Cadillac and RBC. The game was scramble and the result was fun.

The front nine was invaded by the Red Army (second battalion) and they posted the low score of the evening.

When you have ten putts, how can you lose?

A smaller strike force that included the Pope, Rob Dales, Al Gauthier, Rodney Parent, and Mike Donovan claimed victory on the back nine.

Bruno Patti and Steve McKenney won the Roosteraunt breakfasts for hitting their tee shots tight on holes 8 and 14.

The best approach shots of the night were struck by Ben McDonald and Mark Brus on holes 5 and 12, earning them Burns Jewelers gift certificates. However, there was one shot this evening that will be talked about for generations to come. Justin Pilon had a double eagle on hole number 11!

A rare bird indeed (the double eagle,

I mean).

The Town and Country Chrysler longest drives were sent into orbit

by Evan Jeffreys and Steve James on holes 6 and 15.

The “games of skill” winners were Steve James and Al Gauthier (such talent!), and this week’s Rocky’s Road Rash ball will be teed up at the Closing by Bob Arnold where he’ll compete for the big hole in one prize.

Good luck!

Smiths Falls Police officers from left to right are constables Tyler Brett, Dan King and Aaron Tompkins, who were on hand at the Kops and Kids fishing derby Saturday, July 9 in Smiths Falls on the banks of the Rideau Canal on Old Slys Road.

Cops, kids fishing derby a hit with little anglers A group of nearly 80 kids of all ages along with parents and grandparents took part in the Kids, Cops and Canadian Tire Fishing Day on the Rideau Canal Saturday, July 9.

It was a fun filled day with great weather, food and lots of fish being caught.

Many people from Smiths Falls and neighbouring communities were there to support the kids.

Sponsors including Canadian Tire, The Police Association of Ontario

and Bennet’s Bait and Tackle were very gracious in their donations of prizes and resources to assist in making this event possible.

Parks Canada provided their park for the event and local anglers and Big Jim McLaughlin was on hand to donate fishing rods and lures for several local youth to take home.

There were prizes handed out to people who caught the biggest fish, smallest fish and most fish. Everyone who attended went away with some-

thing.

Smiths Falls Police Const. Mitchell Salmon said the day was a great success.

“We will be hosting this event again next year, which coincides with the Ontario family fishing week which allows people to fish without a licence,” he said.

“This is a great event which allows members of the community (mainly youth) to interact with local police officers in a positive manner.”

Despite the rain, the Arlie’s Books Charity BBQ for Everley Mae Yolkowskie raised nearly $550 on Saturday, July 9. The six-month-old Lombardy girl was born with two very serious and rare disorders: CCHS (Congenial Central Hypoventilation Syndrome), which causes Everley to stop breathing when she falls asleep, and a glucagon malfunction, which remains a medical mystery. Everley and her parents, Sarah and Jordan, will be travelling to the United States for further testing and treatment. Donations to help offset their considerable costs are still being accepted at Arlie’s Books, 32 Market St., Smiths Falls. Pictured is smiling six-monthold Everley Mae.

Brooke Henderson finished the LPGA U.S. Women’s Open in 64th spot last weekend, as the drama unfolded with Brittany Lang and Anna Nordqvist duking it out for the top spot.

Lang of the United States earned her first LPGA victory and a US$810,000 payday after defeating Nordqvist of Sweden in a three-hole playoff. The battle for championship was marred when Nordqvist suffered a two-stroke penalty after her club head touched the sand in the bunker.

Henderson turned in rounds of 76 and 71 after the first two days and just made the cut. Her Saturday effort matched that of Sunday’s play as she turned in a pair of 76s for a four-day total of plus-11. She earned US$10,410. Next up on the tour is the Marathon Classic presented by Owens Corning and O-I in Sylvania, OH, July 14 to 17.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, even if feel like you’re running yourself ragged, all of your hard work will pay off in due time. Just be sure to avoid falling victim to exhaustion; scale back if necessary.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, bide your time until you find the right moment to express your true feelings. You don’t want to come across as premature, and patience can help you fine-tune your thoughts.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 It seems like you cannot move beyond the preparation stage of a new project, Gemini. Make an effort to narrow down your choices so things can start moving forward.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, overcome any lingering doubt by examining your thought process on past successes. Trust your gut instincts, and you probably will not go wrong this week.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, speak up if demands on your time have become unmanageable. Your Here’s How It Works: loved ones will understand if you need to slow things down and take a breather.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may need to be more efficient with daily tasks. Dilly-dallying won’t get the job done, so make a concerted effort to improve your focus and avoid distraction.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, now is not the time to worry about what others think. Your willingness to choose the road less traveled has helped you get where you are and will continue to do so in the future.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, maintain your focus no matter how challenging that proves this week. You have some tasks to complete, and they will only grow more difficult if you lack focus.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you do not have the time to cater to every person’s whim this week. Let others know you want to help but need some time before you can offer any assistance.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take a few days off, even if responsibilities are calling.

Sometimes you need to reorganize your priorities, and some time off can help you do just that.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, the week ahead is full of opportunity. Expect some extra work to come your way and make the most of this chance to shine.

MacLeod Helen Ann (Rose) MacLeod, RN 1933 - 2016

Helen was the first baby born in Montreal on January 1, 1933. She died peacefully at Peterborough Regional Health Centre on June 29, 2016 in her 83rd year. Helen was dearly loved spouse of Dr. J. Cameron MacLeod for 55 years.

She was a devoted Mother of David MacLeod of Toronto (wife Arlena Hebert), Ann MacLeod of Peterborough (husband Desmond Hickie) and Keith MacLeod of Ottawa (wife Annie Lebeau). She loved her six grandchildren Sam and Alexandra, Leah and Fiona, Eric and Corinne. She was daughter of Samuel and Margaret Rose and sister of Donald and Ed. Helen grew up on the Rosayre Farm, Mountain, Ontario. She fondly would recall how on snowy days, her Dad would take her, Donald and Ed to their one room school house in a horse drawn sleigh snuggled in new straw under “the buffalo blanket”.

In 1955, she graduated as a Registered Nurse at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. Helen was a dashing figure in her new blue 1958 “Volkswagen Bug”, which she drove from Ontario to British Columbia three times to be with Cameron. Helen’s family often vacationed in Algonquin Park where she first met Cameron with her 1958 Bug at the Harkness Fisheries Research Laboratory at Lake Opeongo where Cam worked as a Masters and PhD student. They married in 1959 and lived in Vancouver, Picton, Richmond Hill, St. Paul Minnesota, Lake Opeongo, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Perth and Peterborough. Helen was well known for her constant care for others. She was a ward nurse, quickly promoted to clinical instructor at the Kingston Hospital. After taking time to raise her children and volunteer with Cubs and Scouts, she requalified as a nurse working in palliative care and then as a foot care nurse for “her old people” until age 79. With her family, she loved the cottage at Long Lake, her dogs, her bountiful gardens and wild birds. In her final days, Helen said, “I’m ready” and “God loves us”. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday July 16, 2016 at 1:00 pm at the Winchester United Church, 519 St. Lawrence St. Winchester, Ontario, followed by internment at the Maple Ridge Cemetery, Civic # 12804 Maple Ridge Road and then a reception at the home of Heather Rose.

TO ADVERTISE!

Celebrate Lanark County’s bounty at Harvest Festival in Beckwith Sept. 11 Want to get fresh with a local farmer? The fourth annual Lanark County Harvest Festival will give everyone a chance to do just that!

This outdoor event, slated for Sunday, Sept. 11 at Beckwith Park (1319, 9th Line, Beckwith), will celebrate the county’s bounty of the harvest featuring local producers, food seminars, cooking demonstrations, children’s activities, local musicians, historical displays and more. This year, we celebrate the 200th anniversary by showcasing the people, products and projects of Beckwith, Drummond/North Elmsley, Perth and Tay Valley.

The Lanark County Harvest Festival is an opportunity for people to meet our local farmers and purchase local food and other locally made products. The county has a unique blend of producers, passions and food.

The festival will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is a collaboration of several local groups, including Lanark Local Flavour, Lanark County Farmers’ Markets, the Lanark County Museums Network, the Lanark County Agricultural Advisory Working Group, the Township of Beckwith, and Lanark County.

In 2016, the collaboration among four Beckwith churches will continue to deliver the popular Harvest Church Supper of traditional stew including lamb stew, vegetable stew, beef stew and gluten-free stew (not to mention pie of all kinds). Some of the participants are growing the ingredients, and others are sourcing local ingredients.

It is “stew good to miss.” Tickets are $12 and will be sold in advance (online at Ticketsplease.ca) or at the door for the supper, taking place from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in the main arena building following the Harvest Festival.

Summer may have just started, but planning is well underway for the fourth annual Lanark County Harvest Festival, set for Sunday, Sept.

11 in Beckwith Park. The festival, founded by Montague Reeve Bill Dobson, celebrates the fall harvest season with local producers, demonstrations, children’s activities, historical displays and live entertainment.

Submitted photos

The program includes cooking demonstrations featuring local chefs who will present information about cooking with local ingredients. The renowned Bowes Brothers are returning as the musical entertainment; and children’s activities (weather permitting) such as a petting zoo, bouncy castle, and face painting, can be expected.

“The event provides a perfect opportunity for local producers to connect with visitors and residents,” adds Marie White, Lanark County tourism manager. “The benefits of local food are becoming ever more popular. This festival is a good time to celebrate by sharing food, stories and laughter.”

“Beckwith Township is pleased to be the host municipality for the Lanark County Harvest Festival,” says Richard Kidd, Beckwith Reeve. “Our staff has been working very hard with partners to ensure the event is a huge success. It is a tribute to our agricultural past and future.”

This annual event supports more than 55 local businesses and six farmers’ markets, as well as developing a new business network for the county’s producers. “We hope to continue to create employment, build on the customer base and encourage lots of visitors to come to Lanark County,” states festival founder Bill Dobson, Montague Reeve.

“Along with the 200th celebration, Lanark County will be celebrating its 150 years,” adds Gail Code, Lanark County Warden. “We invite you to join us on centre stage for the cake cutting ceremony at noon.”

There are still spaces for vendors.

To register, contact cmcgregor@twp. beckwith.on.ca. For general information, visit www.harvestfestival.ca or call 1-888-4-LANARK.

Seven tips to stay on top of your finances during a postal strike

Photo courtesy Jean-Denis Labelle

Last Friday night’s Lonely Ghosts Walk was somehow touched by otherworldly guidance, as it successfully completed its downtown journey in between a set of severe thunderstorms. This year’s familyfriendly, hour-long theatrical historic walking tour, A Taste of Perth, running Fridays from 7 to 8 p.m., focuses on local whiskey baron John McLaren and the temperance woman for whom he held a secret flame. These unsettled spirits argue it out during a cross-town journey that features a young Malcolm Cameron (founder of the Bathurst Courier newspaper), some very inebriated penny-a-day soldiers, and a collection of comedy and musical moments that bring back a key conflict that marked Perth’s early years.

The talented cast includes, above from left: Garrett Pipher, Morgan MacDonald, Connor Williamson and Emily Richardson. The same cast also performs Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. to noon in River of Memory, a compelling story of early Indigenous/settler relations at the time of Perth’s founding in traditional Algonquin territory. Both plays are written by the Classic Theatre Festival’s Laurel Smith, and directed by Sean Jacklin. Tickets to both shows are available at www.classictheatre.ca, or by calling 1-877-283-1283.

Tradyo Turns Your Clutter Into Cash.

In case of a Canada Post service disruption, you will not receive your statements for credit cards, loans, mortgages and deposit accounts in the mail. You will also not receive utility bills or other invoices by mail.

However, you are still responsible for making your payments on time.

The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada encourages you to pay close attention to bills that will be due in the weeks ahead.

Take steps to ensure you are aware of the amounts you owe and the due dates, and arrange to make your payments on time. If you miss a payment, or make a late payment, you may have to pay late payment charges.

You also risk damaging your credit score.

Statements for banking products • Consider switching to electronic statements.

• Use online or telephone banking services, go to an ATM, or visit a branch of your financial institution to find out the amounts you owe on your credit cards, loans or mortgage and make your payments.

• Think about setting up automatic bill payments, using

your financial institution’s online banking services.

Other bills and invoices • Visit the company’s website or call for information about your bill and how you can pay it. You can usually pay your bill using your financial institution’s online banking services.

• Check whether you can set up electronic notifications and payments for your bills.

• If you receive cheques by mail from some organizations, contact them to find out how you can receive those payments in other ways.

• Consider signing up for direct deposit to avoid delays in receiving payments.

Government benefits Delivery of cheques for the following benefits will not be affected by a Canada Post service disruption: Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, working income tax benefit or the Canada child benefit.

If you receive provincial or territorial benefits, contact your provincial or territorial government to find out how the Canada Post service disruption affects you.

Two films a better format for Secret Life of Pets MOVIE: The Secret Life of Pets STARRING: Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Jenny Slate, Lake Bell, Albert Brooks, Dana Carvey, and Kevin Hart DIRECTOR: Chris Renaud and Yarrow Cheny RATED: G I feel I should give full disclosure. I’ve been known to give voice to my pets’ thoughts.

There’s the dog, the four cats, the three fish, the three horses and even the two pygmy goats.

For me The Secret Life of Pets was a personal affirmation of everything I’ve ever suspected about my pets.

Max (Louis C.K.) has the perfect life. He has good friends, a nice apartment, but most of all he has his owner Katie (Ellie Kemper). Then Katie brings home a giant mongrel named Duke (Eric Stonestreet), and it upsets Max’s perfection.

Both dogs fight to be top dog until they find themselves in an alley being chased by Animal Control. Max and Duke start to come together, but it isn’t until they get on the wrong side of a cute psychopathic bunny named Snowball (Kevin Hart) that they really become friends.

My Take

MARK HASKINS

Snowball leads a bizarre menagerie called the Flushed Pets who are bent on overthrowing the humans. The bright side of having to run for your life is how it can bring you closer to the one you’re running with.

Meanwhile Gidget (Jenny Slate), the cute Pomeranian next door, realizes Max is missing. She organizes Max’s friends to find and save him.

With Chloe (Jenny Slate) the cat, Mel (Bobby Moynihan) the bulldog, a dachshund named Buddy (Hannibal Buress), a parakeet called Sweetpea (Tara Strong), Norman (Chris Renaud) the guinea pig, Tiberius (Albert Brooks) the red tailed hawk, and an old basset hound named Pops, Gidget is determined to save the dog of her dreams.

The Secret Life of Pets had me laughing so hard it hurt.

Then there were other times when I thought maybe they’ve gone too far. It was like there

were two movies competing with each other. The one movie is this silly and quirky film that reveals what our pets do when we’re not around. The other film is an outrageous buddy action film. The two didn’t always fit well together, but they were funny.

While the story seems a little schizophrenic the animation is incredible. It’s bright, colourful and richly detailed. It’s a complete immersion of the senses.

A key part of any animated film is having the right voices. This was not a problem.

Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Jenny Slate, Lake Bell, Albert Brooks, Dana Carvey, and all the rest were natural fits for their characters.

When it came to going overthe-top and perhaps too far, Kevin Hart excelled. The thing was I didn’t care because I was laughing too hard. Everything he does is funny.

The Secret Life of Pets is good, but it would’ve been better as two films. The first is your quirky film about what our pets do when we’re away.

Then do the buddy-action comedy as the sequel.

Drivers have disconnect between how we think, we behave on road “Dear Brian, I recently read your wonderful article on car alignment and must say it clarified and educated me a lot.

I had a small question. I have a Toyota 4Runner SW4 SUV and am constantly irritated that the vehicle has a slight drift to the right when the steering wheel is 100 per cent centered. The drift is slight but noticeable on highway and I have to hold the steering wheel a few mm (1-3 mm) to the left. Is this normal? Should I take it for an alignment? Also, I feel the right turn of the car is more sensitive than the left, e.g. Little right turn on steering wheel is enough compared to the left steering turn. I was told that a little drift to the right is for a safety reason.

Looking forward to your kind reply to sooth my OCD. Best regards, S” Thanks for the question and kind comments. I’ll dust off my treatment couch. A slight drift to the right is very likely normal and not due to a safety design but instead the surface of the road. All paved roads are crowned in the centre (meaning slightly higher than the outer edges) to provide water run-off during rainstorms.

This crown is likely the cause of your pull.

An easy way to confirm this is to drive a short distance down the exact center of a straight and level two-lane road (straddling the centre line momentarily and only when safe to do so). If the pull disappears when you do this, your drift is caused by the crown and no adjustment to the vehicle is required. If it still drifts to the right, then have the alignment checked out.

Make sure your vehicle is not weighted too much to one side or the other and if you want a perfect test, have a passenger of equal weight sitting in the right front seat. Also make sure you do this on a calm day as cross winds can push the vehicle to one side or the other.

General Motors is advising owners of certain 2016 and 2017 trucks and SUVs not to drive them due to a potential failure of their front suspensions. The front upper control arms on about 4,800 2016 Chevrolet Tahoes, Suburbans, GMC Yukons, Sierra 1500s, Cadillac Escalades and 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500s may crack and fail due to improper welds.

Vehicles built after April 2016 may not be affected. The fix will involve replacing both upper control arms on affected vehicles. If you suspect your vehicle might be involved, contact your local deal-

Kanetix, Canada’s leader in online insurance services recently completed a survey of drivers that reveals a large disconnect with how we think we drive and how others actually see how we drive. For example, their study found that only 12 per cent of drivers witness other vehicles yielding properly to pedestrians and cyclists, yet 78 per cent of us say we always do it. Seventy-seven per cent of us say we always wave or express thanks when another driver lets us merge but we only observe nine per cent of our fellow travelers doing the same.

And when it comes to the biggest driving peeve, tailgating, only two per cent are honest enough to admitting this road sin, yet they ‘see’ 15 per cent of other drivers doing regularly.

“Canadians seem to be overstating their own level of politeness,” said Janine White, VP, Marketplace, Kanetix.ca. “There is a huge disconnect between how we think we are behaving and what is actually being seen on the roads.”

Tips to keep children and pets safe from pesticides Pesticides can be used for many purposes around the home, including treating pest or weed problems in your yard, sanitizing your pool, or trying to get rid of indoor rodents or creepy crawlers.

All pesticides including pool chemicals should be handled with care and always stored out of sight and reach of children and pets. Children and pets should also be kept out of any areas being treated.

In 2014, Health Canada received 1,884 incident reports related to pesticides.

The majority of these relate to exposure by pets (76 per cent) and humans, including children (14 per cent).

Most of these incidents that occurred in Canada involved products that can be purchased and used by the general public in and around the home, so it is important to take the necessary steps to help prevent these types of incidents by following Health Canada’s advice below.

What you should do To protect the well-being of your family and pets, make sure to only use pesticides that are registered for use in Canada. These pesticides can often be purchased

in local hardware or home improvement stores, or gardening centres.

It is important to use pesticides safely by following all label directions and safety warnings. Follow these simple steps to help keep your loved ones and furry friends safe from pesticides: • Use pesticides only for their intended use; check the label and apply the product according to the directions.

• Children and pets should leave the area when pesticides are being applied and should not be allowed to return until the residues are dry.

• Make sure all child-resistant containers are functioning properly.

• Teach children that the hazard symbols on chemical products mean “Danger! Do not touch.”

• Store items in their original containers out of the reach of children and pets and keep all safety information.

• Do not let children go near swimming pool and spa chemicals – these should only be applied by adults, which can require using the proper protective equipment (for example, goggles, gloves or footwear).

• Consider using a licensed pest control operator if you have a pest

issue in or around your home.

• If you are treating your pet for fleas or ticks, make sure you follow Health Canada’s advice on the safe use of these pest control products.

• Keep emergency numbers by your telephone just in case.

If a poisoning is suspected, you should contact your local Poison Control Centre or call 911 immediately.

If you are unsure how to best manage a particular pest problem, visit the Health Canada website (healthycanadians.gc.ca) for more information or consider hiring a licensed pest control operator.

Also, remember to follow any provincial or municipal restrictions that may apply.

To check for the most recent product information, use Health Canada’s new pesticide label search mobile app.

Make sure to report any adverse events from a pest control product to the manufacturer, who is required by law to report it to Health Canada. You may also report an incident directly to Health Canada by completing an incident Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND report form, available on the webCarter Clouthier becomes the next Spiderman at the 20th anniversary site listed above.

Link between stroke and dementia more powerful than we think The Heart and Stroke Foundation 2016 Stroke Report reveals an increasingly powerful relationship between stroke and dementia due in part to covert strokes Canadians don’t realize are happening. Covert strokes occur five times more often than obvious strokes, and both are happening at a younger age, opening the door to more and earlier dementia, and sounding the alarm for an increased focus on prevention.

New data confirms a profound link between these two diseases of the brain. Having a stroke more than doubles the risk of developing dementia. Out of every 100 stroke patients without a past history of dementia, 16 are likely to develop dementia after their first or subsequent stroke. One in three Canadians will develop stroke, dementia, or both.

Stroke happens when blood stops flowing to parts of the brain, causing cells to die. Vascular cognitive impairment is also the result of blood vessel problems and results in a range of cognitive deficits, from relatively mild symptoms to vascular dementia. Both obvious clinical strokes and covert strokes – the type that happens when a small vessel becomes permanently blocked but there is no immediate outward physical damage – can lead to dementia.

“Stroke and dementia need to be studied together because in some ways

they are one and the same,” says Dr. Andrew Demchuk, Director, Calgary Stroke Program and Heart and Stroke Foundation spokesperson. “Stroke causes brain cells to die and this can precipitate dementia or worsen preexisting dementia. There are different causes of dementia, and research now shows that stroke is a major contributor.”

According to a poll* commissioned by the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadians’ awareness of both stroke and dementia is low: Less than half of Canadians know what a stroke is and fewer than one-third understand what dementia is and recognize the symptoms.

Uncovering covert strokes Age is a risk factor for both stroke and dementia and as the population ages the actual number of strokes will rise, along with the number of people with dementia. Evidence is also showing that both are increasingly happening to younger people. According to the most recent data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), 17 per cent of stroke patients were between the ages of 20 and 59.

Similarly, according to new research that uses brain scan technology, covert strokes are also happening at an early age.

“About three per cent of Canadians in their 40s have evidence of a co-

vert stroke. They can experience small strokes and they do not even realize it, and then it is too late as the damage is not reversible,” says Dr. Eric Smith, Stroke Neurologist, Calgary Stroke Program and Heart and Stroke Foundation spokesperson.

Currently one in 10 Canadians over 65 has dementia, and this increases to three in 10 over the age of 85. According to our poll, more than one-quarter of Canadians mistakenly believe that dementia is a normal part of aging.

Dementia at an early age brings unique challenges, starting with difficulty getting a diagnosis, work-related and financial difficulties, as well as strain on relationships with spouses and children.

“My executive function and wordfinding skills are damaged and this is permanent. I cannot multi-task the way I used to, and I have very little short-term memory so I have a white board in the kitchen and I write everything down. Everything also goes in my calendar. Thank goodness for technology; it is my lifeline.” says Susan Robertson, who was a fulltime working mother when she had a stroke at 36.

Prevention Stroke — either a first stroke, subsequent stroke, TIA (mini-stroke) or covert stroke — can be prevented by managing vascular risk factors includ-

ing high blood pressure and cholesterol and diabetes, as well as unhealthy behaviours such as tobacco use, physical inactivity and poor diet. The same is true for dementia. Dementia can be prevented, it can be delayed or its progression can be slowed by the same healthy behaviours. Physical activity and new learning — for example, learning a language or musical instrument — are particularly beneficial to good brain health.

Canadians’ awareness of risk factors is poor: High blood pressure is the number one modifiable risk factor for stroke yet according to our poll, less than one-quarter know it is a risk factor at all.

When asked to identify risk factors, just over one-quarter named smoking, one-third identified poor diet, and less than one-fifth noted physical inactivity.

It is never too early to prevent both stroke and dementia and it is never too late to reduce risk.

“Reducing stroke risk protects your brain. Healthy living is about dementia too. Everything you do to protect your body protects your brain,” says Dr. Smith.

Once someone has had a stroke or TIA, their odds of having another increase. Secondary stroke prevention services help Canadians prevent

a new stroke from happening after a first event. Evidence shows access to secondary prevention services reduces mortality by 25 per cent, and reduces the risk of having another stroke by between 50 and 80 percent. These services are delivered in dedicated clinics or through other types of services across the country.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation carried out an inventory of stroke prevention services across the country, revealing: Prevention services exist in every province including at least one in every urban health region.

There are more clinics and better access in the big urban centres.

More than 51,000 patients are seen each year. The majority of patients are referred from emergency departments or family doctors.

Just over half of the clinics provide access to a CT scan within 48 hours.

Only half of the clinics screen for cognitive impairment (including the severest form – dementia) or depression or both.

Dr. Robert Côté, Director, Stroke Prevention Clinic, McGill University Health Centre, and Heart and Stroke Foundation spokesperson notes that weaknesses in the system stand in the way of some patients receiving the best care.

From page 53

The transition from assessment at the stroke prevention clinic to primary care (family doctor) is not always seamless and timely, and some patients do not have a primary care provider, or are not getting the support they need to manage their risk factors.

Access to secondary prevention services are not consistent because of geography, limited hours of operation, and availability of stroke experts and diagnostic tests.

Knowing your risk factors Nine in 10 Canadians have at least one risk factor for stroke and heart disease. This includes risk factors Canadians can do something about, and those they cannot change.

Risk factors Canadians can change: * Know and control your blood pressure. * Eat a healthy balanced diet that consists of a variety of natural/whole and minimally processed foods. * Be physically active. Accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, in bouts of 10 minutes or more. * Be smoke free. * Manage diabetes. * Limit alcohol. Women should limit themselves to no more than two drinks a day, to a weekly maximum of 10; and men to three drinks a day or a

How to help your garden grow during drought this summer Master Gardeners

Angling for success: How to defend your favourite hobby from invasive species If you like to fish, you may have noticed unfamiliar species showing up in your favourite lakes and rivers over the years. This isn’t part of a natural evolution that is shaping the way fish and other organisms get into our waterways – it is a disturbing and stubborn trend that has serious consequences for all.

Alien species are plants and animals introduced, by human action, outside their natural range. Invasive species are ones whose spread can threaten the environment, the economy or your health.

In fact, every year invasive plants cost the agriculture and forest industries in Canada about $7.3 billion. In Ontario, the impacts from zebra mussels alone cost between $75 million and $91 million per year.

Invasive species commonly hitch rides on boats, trailers, boating and fishing equipment, including bait buckets. Impacts from aquatic invasive species are broad and can include; reducing the number of native fish, and causing problems for native mussels (many of which are at risk). They can also damage the natural beauty of our lakes and waterways.

You can take action to stop the spread of these invaders. Here’s how: • Don’t release your bait into a water body. Empty your bait bucket on land at least 30 metres from the

So far this year has not been an easy growing year for gardeners, especially those on a well with a limited amount of watering potential.

However here are a few ideas which will be useful, perhaps a little late for this year but helpful for the future.

Firstly, mulching the garden beds certainly helps prevent evaporation from hot sun and drying winds. Cedar mulch is good, but straw, hay and dry leaves can provide adequate shelter.

Other possibilities are layers of newspapers or old thin carpets laid out between tomato plants or under trailing squash. Just make sure the water can be absorbed around the base of the plant.

Try not to disturb the plants roots during hot weather by pulling out weeds growing beside them.

They may enjoy the protection of a little more shade.

Soaker hoses are a good method of watering as no water is evapo-

• Drain the water from your boat, including from the motor, live well and bilge.

• Remove all aquatic plants, mussels or other visible organisms from your boat and gear and put them in the garbage.

• Remove organisms you can’t see on your boat by rinsing with hot water, spraying with high-pressure water or drying it in the sun for five days.

You can report sightings of invasive species by calling the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters’ Invading Species Hotline at 1-800563-7711 or by emailing info@ invadingspecies.com. You can also use the EDDMapS Ontario system to report sightings through your computer or smartphone.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry recently launched a public campaign on invasive species.

Through this campaign, we are hoping to motivate the public to fight against invasive species, which are now a threat to our environment and economy.
