Kids will be kids

Summer fun is in store for these girls as they mark the passing of the school break with sleepovers, swimming and looking after their canine companions. Nothing but cuteness here as the girls hug their puppies. They are Isabella Coates, 7, with Moose; Jorja Coates, 10, with Sizzle; Shawna Maloney, 11, with Sapphire and Carma Moore, 10, with Sophie.

The scene was the subject of a noise complaint called into the police over their loudness while playing in their backyard. They said a water spider startled them. Mom Jacqui Coates says she’s always in the backyard with the girls and they are supervised at all times while swimming in the pool.

Smiths Falls has pared down The Excelerator’s $40,000 funding request to $15,000, making it difficult for the business incubator and co-work site to make ends meet.

Susan Fournier, executive director of Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC) returned to Smiths Falls committee of the whole this week to re-iterate the importance of Smiths Falls’ support to leverage dollars for the centre.

“The host community… sets the tone,” Fournier said. “We’re falling very short on the cash.”

Last year’s $30,000 request to Smiths Falls was cut in half by the council of the day with this year’s budgetary allotment giving no more than its predecessors for The Excelerator.

“We incurred a loss as a result,” Fournier said of their 2014 year.

The Excelerator doesn’t pay for the space, as it is donated by the Gallipeau Centre, but does pay $1.75 a square foot per year for utilities. The current agreement is that once the centre is realizing revenue beyond its expenses it will pay 50 per cent of those revenues to the Gallipeau Centre to a maximum of $14/ square foot, which was deemed fair market value.

This year’s operating budget for The Excelerator is set at $169,000, which

will be a struggle once again if Smiths Falls comes up short as verbal support around the horse shoe of a staff report recommending keeping the $15,000 line item would suggest.

That won’t always be the case.

Fournier feels within two to three years The Excelerator will be in a positive revenue position, but notes municipal support is needed to get them to that point.

Earlier this year the Eastern Ontario Development Fund (EODF) provided more than $327,000 to The Excelerator, but Fournier underlined these dollars must be matched by other sources before they can be used. Montague Township is considering Fournier’s funding request, but is anxious to see what the town will come through with before finalizing its numbers, but not everyone is on the fence.

“We’ve done really well with getting exceptional support,” Fournier added.

“We are the shining star.”

The centre is growing at a much faster rate than comparable facilities in other communities. In the first seven weeks The Excelerator welcomed five tenant companies and 15 members.

Staff has also secured Memorandum of Understanding with all chambers of commerce within Lanark County. She feels the new businesses coming out of The Excelerator will help to make each

‘As long as I breathe, I hope’: Greek-Canadian optimistic for homeland desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Far from the chaos gripping her homeland, Maria Markadonis sits quietly in her empty Smiths Falls restaurant, surrounded by memories.

It is a quiet, hot Monday afternoon, as she sifts through a cookie tin full of old photographs. She is remembering her daughter who died, shortly after a double-lung transplant.

On the radio nearby, a news bulletin details of the latest 86 billion euro ($120.8 billion Canadian) bailout that Greece, her homeland, has had to agree to.

“They are having trouble there now,” said Markadonis, matter-of-factly, as she looks down at a photograph of her two young daughters, in traditional Greek dress, herself, and her late mother. “They can’t pay their bills.”

How times change, not only for Markadonis, but for Greece too.

Exactly 10 years ago this summer, Greece not only hosted the Summer Olympics in Athens, it also won the Euro 2004 soccer championships.

Those glory days seem far away now, another time, almost another country.

On the radio, the announcer sets out the details – increased sales tax, pension and market reforms, and the forced privatization of state assets.

The new agreement is conditional upon passage of the Greek parliament on Wednesday, after this newspaper went to press.

Markadonis came to Canada at the age of 16. She was born on the island of Peloponese, and left for Athens at the age of six, around the time her father died, at the age of 48. She has called Canada

Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

Maria Markadonis holds up a family photo on the right, of herself, her late mother, her late daughter, her surviving daughter, in traditional Greek dress, while she holds on to a 20 euro note ($28 Canadian) on the left. Greece will have to suffer through increased austerity, market and pension reforms, and privatizations of public companies in order to keep the Euro currency. home for about 50 years.

“This is home now,” she said.

She cannot bring herself to travel back to Greece – even though her husband, surviving daughter and grandson will return for a visit, a graduation present for her grandson, Alex, in August.

“I don’t want to go back with out her,” she said, of her late daughter.

Many people are cancelling their vacations to Greece now, with the country’s banks teetering on the brink of insolvency, and remaining closed for the foreseeable future. But the Markadonis family will push on with their three-week vacation – though “they will bring as much cash as they can” with them, with Greek

ATMs only dispensing as little as 50 to 60 euros ($84.30 Canadian to $70.25 Canadian, as of this past Tuesday morning) per day.

They will visit Athens, and the island of Melos, where her husband’s family is from, as well as other parts of Greece.

She is battling cancer now, and still puts in full time hours at the restaurant, but she is still following events back home closely.

“Personally, I like the new government,” she said, led by leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. “I judge people by their faces. (His is) the first face I liked in the last 30 years. I like the way he talks. His face, his eyes, tell me…He’s

“If Greece ever left the Euro, it would be very bad,” said Markadonis. “I have that deep feeling.”

She still has family back in Greece, and her sister-in-law is a pensioner, and those on pensions have been amongst the most affected by this financial crisis.

“That will bother me the most, the pension cuts,” she said, seriously. “People worked all their lives,” paying into the system, she said.

But she has not given up hope on her fellow countrymen and women, the same civilization that gave the world democracy, philosophy, and rhetoric.

“They are ambitious people. They have passion,” she said, her own fierce will to live evident in her words, voice, and deeds. “That’s how they grew up.”

As our conversation draws to a close, her private home care nurse arrives for another round of cancer treatment. Both she and Greece are taking bitter medicine now in the hopes of some brighter tomorrow.

Throughout our talk, she frequently referred to a saying that seems to apply to both herself and Greece: “As long as I breathe, I hope.”

Enjoy the Ride.

not the one that put the country in this mess.”

When he was swept into office this past January, she said she admired that he told his fellow Greek MPs that they should take their own cars to get to work, not use government cars.

“He doesn’t wear a tie,” she said with a smile, a sign, she feels, that he is telling his people, “I am one of you.”

“The country was in a mess before him (Tsipras). He’s not the one that put the country in this mess.” She even called George Papandeou, Greece’s prime minister from 2009 to 2011, “a coward.”

As for the July 5 referendum, in which Greeks voted 61.31 per cent against the austerity measured recommended by the country’s creditors in exchange for another bailout, “I would have voted the way most people did.”

One of the few positive developments that emerged from the marathon talks in Brussels, that lasted from Sunday afternoon until early Monday morning, was that Greece would be able to stay in the Eurozone, the group of European Union countries that use the single currency Euro.

Perth resident embarks on eighth kayaking trip to wash away cancer Aug. 8 to 14 akulp@perfprint.ca

Bruce Raby is beginning to know the Rideau Canal like the back of his hand.

For seven years, the Perth resident has navigated the canal’s waters in his kayak, raising funds for the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society through his Kayaking to Beat Cancer initiative. This Aug. 8 to 14 marks the eighth time he will embark on the event, which has raised more than $30,000 for the society.

Once again, Raby will take the 140-kilometre trek along the Rideau, beginning in Westport and ending up at Dow’s Lake in Ottawa. He will paddle 35 to 37 kilometres each

day and camp along the way at lock stations and marinas.

As someone who began volunteering later in life, Raby understands the importance of giving back to his community and has also been touched by cancer.

“Cancer has really had a pretty huge impact on a lot of my family members on my father’s side…and I’ve had a number of friends and close acquaintances that have been affected by cancer. It makes me feel good that I can do something useful with my life…I feel good doing it (kayaking) and I don’t mind putting a little work in to make it happen,” he explained. “…There are organizations that couldn’t survive without volunteers and if everybody

does just a little bit, we’re all making a better quality of life for everyone,” Raby added.

Last year’s paddle saw him joined by son Nicholas for two of the four days (raising just under $4,000 in the process), but for the eighth event this August, Raby will go it alone.

“It’s about 20 hours of actual paddling time at a fairly fast rate,” Raby said of the journey along the water, which can be a tranquil experience and he looks forward “to the peace and serenity of being alone on the water.”

“Sometimes it rains, but it doesn’t really bother me,” he said.

He is hoping to raise $4,000 this year and to do so, Raby will be out at stores in Perth and Carleton Place, invit-

ing donations and to spread the Kayaking to Beat Cancer message. He is grateful for the support of local businesses and the opportunity to set up shop in their stores. “(Being in the stores) really gives me the opportunity to talk to a lot of people and it really is amazing, when you’re talking to people, how many have friends or relatives who have been affected by cancer,” he noted. “It really helps make me feel like I’m doing my little bit and it’s helping someone.”

He also collects funds along the shoreline (he has cottagers and residents who remember him from year to year).

He was stationed at Barnabe’s Independent Grocer in

Perth on July 4, but will be at Mitchell’s Independent Grocer in Carleton Place this Saturday, July 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and at the Carleton Place Walmart Saturday, Aug. 1, then back at Barnabe’s Sunday, Aug. 2. The hours for the Aug. 1 and 2 dates are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. as well.

Those who wish to donate to Kayaking to Beat Cancer online can do so by visiting http://convio.cancer.ca/goto/ kayakingtobeatcancer.

The link also has more information on Raby’s venture and how the funds are used.

One-hundred per cent of the proceeds will go directly to the local unit of the Canadian Cancer Society, which Raby specifically requested. “…

This means it (funding) goes into helping individuals and families dealing with cancer in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville,” he stated.

“I like the feeling that I know it’s helping people around me in whatever way it can.”

The funds will be used to aid in community-based support services for local people living with cancer and their families.

Though kayaking remains a passion, Raby anticipates he will hang up the paddle once he reaches the 10th anniversary of Kayaking to Beat Cancer.

“So, I still have another two paddles to do after this summer,” he noted.

New drug for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis gives patients hope Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Stacey Roy/METROLAND

Jacqui Bowick-Sandor of Smiths Falls wishes readers peace as she walks a little ways at Lower Reach Park. The local woman has been living with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis for four years, but will start a new medical treatment as early as this week after Health Canada approved use of OFEV. This medication is designed to slow the progression of her illness until she can get a double lung transplant. She has been on the waiting list for eight months now.

and was living at the same stage as Bowick-Sandor died. It’s a chilling reminder of how swift her illness can be.

“You can look this good and in 10 days be dead,” she said.

Support group When these moments of darkness and loss come it’s important to have a support network you can lean on. That is why Bowick-Sandor has worked alongside a friend to launch Potomac, a support group in Smiths Falls for those living with lifethreatening or chronic conditions.

“Smiths Falls has an abundance, unfortunately, of ill people. The beauty is they are positive and open and they are willing to share,” Bowick-Sandor said.

The group (which stands for ‘the place to which tribute is brought’) meets monthly at the Smiths Falls Community Health Centre on Gould Street. The meetings begin with new members telling their health care journey. “We feel that’s important that you be heard and get your story out,” Bowick-Sandor said.

The rest of the meeting is reserved for attendees to share specific challenges, resources and suggestions. The meeting ends with a team-building element so everyone leaves on a positive note.

“For me, it’s such a lift,” she said.

Anyone interested in learning more about Potomac can reach out to BowickSandor via email: exact33@hotmail. com.

It’s just a small capsule, but the power a new drug called OFEV has to create hope for patients living with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is so much bigger than what would fit in the palm of your hand.

“I thank God for these drugs. That is what gives me hope,” said Jacqui Bowick-Sandor of Smiths Falls who was diagnosed with IPF in 2011.

At that time she was told she had twoto-five years to live and that a double lung transplant was her only chance at survival. Eight months ago Bowick-Sandor was accepted onto the transplant waiting list and is hopeful her call will come soon, but until then she will have OFEV. The local resident, along with many other approved patients, are scheduled to receive their first shipment of medication this week. “I’m very excited,” BowickSandor said.

OFEV was approved by Health Canada for use on June 24, 2015 after a full review. In all three medical studies OFEV was found to slow the decline of lung function by about 50 per cent, and in two of three studies was found to reduce the number of breathing attacks in patients.

For Bowick-Sandor, the availability of medication comes at a good time, as she has recently learned she’s lost even more lung function, but the local woman feels lucky to be on the transplant list.

According to Dr. Martin Kolb, a lung fibrosis specialist who is working on lab research around the disease, only two-tothree per cent of IPF patients will qualify to be on the transplant list. The rest must focus on maintaining a quality of life for themselves in the time they have left.

This is what he and Bowick-Sandor believe OFEV will help to achieve, while also giving those on a wait list the gift of more time. “More patients will actually make it and not die while waiting. It will likely extend their life for a certain period,” Kolb said.

OFEV works by slowing down the cells that create scare tissue in the lungs.

This process is a natural occurrence when someone is injured, but in IPF patients the scare tissue never goes away and eventually will not allow the lungs to transfer oxygen to the body. This can lead to shortness of breath (requiring oxygen support), a dry hacking cough, coldness in the hands and feet, memory loss and ultimately death. Information around the effects of long-term usage of OFEV is restricted to the clinical trials. Kolb said he has patients who have been using the drug for six years and “they are doing quite well,” he added. “Most of the patients that I see are extremely happy to have something available that could help them.”

OFEV is the second drug to come on the market to help IPF patients in the last three years. Esbriet has been available since 2012, but Kolb explains the general rule of thumb for most medications is that a third of patients will take it and not be able to tolerate it, a third will tolerate it but it won’t have any meaningful effect, and the last third will take it and it will

help them.

“The second drug is a very important milestone for the patient,” Kolb said.

Bowick-Sandor is in the first group with Esbriet having had an allergic reaction when taking it. She hopes OFEV will be the formula she needs to really slow down IPF. The local woman is an advocate for IPF having finished a fitness promotional video for the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (found on their website) earlier this year and speaking with politicians and individuals to educate them on the need for continued research.

Kolb calls people like Bowick-Sandor pioneers in the work to find medical treatment for IPF that will one day allow patients to live with the condition as AIDS patients can live with theirs, but notes there is still work to be done.

“There’s still along way to go to stop the disease,” Kolb said.

Researchers continue to test other drugs since pharmaceutical companies have seen the opportunity in IPF medications.

Bowick-Sandor’s efforts to be part of finding a means of living with IPF is important to her not only because she wants to be part of the solution for future patients, but because of the heart ache she feels when close friends of hers lose their battle with IPF. Recently, a friend of hers that was diagnosed around the same time

Boaters help put out cottage fire A cottage on the Big Rideau Lake just southwest of Smiths Falls burned to the ground Friday afternoon. The owner managed to escape with his pets before the structure became fully involved in flames.

Concerned neighbours were unable to help put out the flames due to the intensity of the heat. Boaters coming to help were able to contain flames that had leapt to the grounds of a cottage next door with buckets and food coolers. Local volunteer fire fighters arrived and were able to contain the fire to the cottage and eventually put it out.

Inaugural Team Henderson Pro-Am benefits many assist Brooke and Brittany in their goal to play their way onto the LPGA Tour in 2016; support the operation of the first professional women’s golf tournament played outside of Ottawa; generate an estimated economic impact of $75,000 from the three days of tournament golf; contribute almost $14,000 from the Pro-Am alone to the local economy; donate $15,000 to the two charities chosen by Brooke and Brittany for the 2015 Pro-Am; and generate priceless media attention for the SFGCC, the Town of Smiths Falls, and our two charitable recipients: the Doefstrong Trust Fund and the Lanark County Support Services.”

Team Henderson would like to thank the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club staff and members for the use of their excellently conditioned course from June 15 to 17, especially general manager Alan Feeley and Paul Cadeau, president of the SFGCC board of directors. Special thanks to course superintendent Ken Campbell and his grounds crew who had to battle the wettest June in a decade to keep the golf course in prime tournament condition. Thanks also to Denis Routhier and his staff for their food and beverage preparation and catering services.

The Smiths Falls and area community stepped up in a big way to support the three days of women’s professional golf. Through the hard work of honorary tournament chair Dennis Staples, many hole sponsors signed on to support the Pro-Am. His work as the

tournament’s ambassador was most valued. Various businesses and individuals donated prizes and items for the silent and live auctions, as well as provided inkind services. Special thanks to Frank Healey of Healey Transportation for the shuttle bus system that brought the hundreds of spectators to the SFGCC and then returned them to their cars parked at the County Fair Mall on all three tournament days. Officials from Golf Canada commented that the attendance at the Canadian Women’s Tour Ontario Championship was the largest they have experienced for this type of competition and the efficient transportation service provided by Healey Transportation was a crucial part of that success.

Thanks to the Pro-Am’s major sponsors: Kristopher Dolinki of Magenta Mortgage; Kristine Fair from Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac Ltd.; Kurtis Dolinki from the Ottawa International Airport Authority; Iain Anderson and Associates from Waterloo, Ontario; Ron Harrison from Cogeco Cable; Dave Schutte of Rogers Radio; TV Cogeco; and Ryland Coyne from Metroland Media. Their leadership as major sponsors was key to generating operational fund-

The Magenta Mortgage Pro-Am presented by Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac Ltd. in support of the Team Henderson 110% Club held at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club (SFGCC) on June 15 was a successful inaugural event that benefitted many. Brooke and Brittany Henderson would like to thank the sponsors, volunteers, participants and fans who made their inaugural Pro-Am successful.

Combined with the ProAm was the Canadian Women’s Tour Ontario Championship that was run by Golf Canada at the SFGCC on June 16 and 17. Through the hard work and thorough planning of the tournament organizing committee, those three days in June saw the first women’s professional golf tournaments played in eastern Ontario outside of Ottawa – a memorable first for the Smiths Falls community. Team Henderson was responsible for bringing the Canadian Women’s Tour Ontario event to Smiths Falls, as well as bearing some of the costs of that tournament in addition to sponsoring the professionals who participated in the Magenta Mortgage Pro-Am. David Dargie, executive director of the Team Henderson 110% Club said, “Through the hard work of our volunteer tournament organizing committee, our generous sponsors, and the many community members who played in the Pro-Am, volunteered for that tournament or the Canadian Women’s Tour Ontario event, Team Henderson was able to raise funds to

ing.

The Team Henderson 110% Club was established in December 2014 to raise funds to support Brooke and Brittany Henderson’s goal of competing on the LPGA Tour. The June 15 Pro-Am assisted in the pursuit of that goal, as well as giving back to the community that has supported the Henderson sisters over their formative years as competitive golfers.

Brooke and Brittany Henderson stated: “We are so happy that our first Pro-Am was able to generate $15,000 for the DoefStrong Trust Fund and the Lanark County Support Services. We play in many Pro-Ams on the Symetra and LPGA Tours and recognize how much work goes into creating a successful event. We have been fortunate to have such great support from our community. We want to thank the many sponsors, volunteers, Pro-Am players and fans who made our inaugural event successful. Smiths Falls and eastern Ontario will always be our home and we are proud to represent this area on the world golfing stage. Thanks to all those who made the June 15 to17 tournaments happen!”

Many of you would move mountains to make sure a loved one receives the treatment he or she needs when there’s a medical emergency, and yet donating blood – the one thing that the public can do to help the health-care system, ourselves and other families deal with those life-and-death situations – is left up to less than four per cent of the population.

According to CBS, more than 52 per cent of Canadians will either require blood treatment or have someone close to them who will need blood at some point in their lives. Yet, only about four in 100 of us will bother attending a blood donor clinic even on a semi-regular basis. Even some of us (this scribe included) who have given in the past but are letting things slide and doing nothing when CBS calls to advise us about

an upcoming clinic.

Our collective response to the ongoing need to replenish the blood supply has been, in a word, pitiful.

The good news is, there is something we can do about it. There are blood donor clinics planned for Kemptville (July 20 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre), Smiths Falls (July 30 at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club), in Westport (Aug. 4 at the Royal Canadian Legion) in Almonte (Aug. 20 at the Almonte Civitan Club) and Perth (Sept. 14 at the Perth Civitan Club). There is an ongoing need for donors and summer is, traditionally, a slower time for blood collection because of vacations. It might seem like a cliché, but the reality is that the demand for blood never takes a holiday.

Anyone who is at least 17 and in good overall health could be eligible to give the gift of life. Call CBS at 1-888-2DONATE or visit www.blood.ca to book an appointment for one of those upcoming clinics. You’ll be glad you did.

A strong handshake could predict honesty and integrity Father always said you could tell much about a man, by the shake of his hand. A good Ottawa Valley grasp, one that forced your fingers into a knot, meant the hand shaker was a man of honesty and integrity. Ignore the fact that for we young children, these bone crunching handshakes left us maimed for days. A hold on a hand was far more important than inflicted pain as a result.

A good steady and firm pump should always accompany the grasp too. Anything else was called a dead fish greeting.

And it didn’t matter how often my father met a neighbour in a day, they always greeted each other with an outstretched hand. Their paths may have crossed at Briscoe’s store, and then again at the mailbox, and

maybe even later in someone’s barn yard, but always the hands were thrust out to offer a bone crunching Renfrew County greeting.

We children were taught at an early age that learning to shake hands was just as important as learning to add and subtract at the Northcote School.

And if the brothers were greeting someone, their caps had to be quickly taken off their heads, tucked under their arms, and then their hands were thrust out for the shake.

In the ‘30s it was considered the height of disrespect for any young lad to talk to an adult with his cap on. Father said much could be learned from a handshake. Take old Herman down the road. He was a whopper of a man with wide shoulders and hands like frying pans. He had a wonderful German sense of humour, and Father thought he was one of the best neighbours we had in Renfrew County. And I always thought it was because when Herman took a hold of your hand, he covered your limb right up past your wrist.

By the time he finished pumping, your shoulder felt like it had been put in a jackhammer.

Never mind, Father said, he was honest, sincere, and a man of his word, and his handshake

proved it.

Then again there was another man on one of the side roads who Father had little time for.

In fact Father thought he and the word honesty had never become acquainted. We often heard stories of turkeys that

had vanished right out of the yard, and heifers that became mysteriously separated from the herd. No one ever came right out and said this neighbour had taken the turkeys or heifers, but we always knew that because of this man’s weak

handshake that put him in the class of possible candidates.

to tell you what mental pictures that little comment created in my already fertile young old mind. As I pictured the man flat out on the kitchen table being straightened out with a flat iron so he could get into his trousers, caused me to cringe at the very thought.

And it was all because of this poor man’s unfortunate handshake. And I often recollect back to those days in the thirties where deals were made verbally in the barnyard; two farmers talking about buying or selling livestock or feed, or agreeing on a trade.

They got all the particulars out of the way...over much nodding of heads and long pauses where the silence could be heard in Admaston.

And I would watch the transactions transpire… knowing so well the se-

LETTER From page 8

first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again, as my mother always taught me. If you have to borrow from the Employment Insurance Fund ($1.8 billion) your own contingency fund ($2 billion) and by selling shares in General Motors ($3 billion) to do it, I realize that the end ALWAYS justifies the means. Particularly in an election year.

I do have one question, however. In your photo in the top left hand corner of the mailing (thank you again for taking the time to send it to me) you are wearing a lapel pin showing two stars and the word “LIBERTY.” At first glance this appears to reflect a somewhat American (Republican?) orientation. In my days on Parliament Hill – 1992-1997 – working for both a Progressive Conservative and a Liberal Cabinet minister, my bosses usually wore a Canadian flag pin. If there is a new emblem on the way to reflect the new direction this country is heading, please advise where I can acquire one for myself. I don’t want to be left behind by the tide of history.

Mr. Reid, I also want to thank you for donating part of your MP’s salary to purchase defibrillators for public buildings throughout your riding. Your selflessness makes me wish that all members of Parliament didn’t really need their salaries. But it grieves me to tell

quence of events from having viewed them often in the barnyard or the drive shed. Father and his neighbour would banter back and forth…as if they were sparring in a ring...then would come the long pause.

Father would look up to the clouds or the roof of the drive shed. He’d squint with his eyes half shut, take a long drag on his pipe and blow a slow cloud of blue smoke in the air. Then almost as if there had been a silent signal, the two men would thrust out their hands.

This shake would be different from the pumping we saw in a greeting however.

There would be that firm grasp. Both hands would go up, and then come down... only once.

It was as if they were saying, “Good. It’s a deal.

The matter is closed. There is nothing more to talk about.”

you, and in an election year, that my hometown of Smiths Falls needs even more support. Since the first free trade agreement took place in the late 1987 (the year I moved to my beloved home town) Smiths Falls has lost most of the manufacturing concerns that provided employment for the majority of our residents. I do not mean to suggest that this is in any way your fault.

Seniors make up a large percentage of our population today, and they certainly receive regular (if fixed) income cheques. For those coming into the seniors category in the future, waiting until 67 for a pension cheque won’t be much of a burden.

It will, I’m sure, teach them how to better manage whatever money they do have.

As I drive – or walk – around my town, I see many empty storefronts. Since my young bride and I first came to town 28 years ago, I see that we no longer have any men’s clothing stores, or a theatre, or a Target store, or a Staples. However, we do have a larger and more impressive Giant Tiger store, and for that I’m very grateful.

Thank you again for all that you and the Harper government have done for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington. And good luck on Oct. 19.

Chris Must Smiths Falls

Farms traded with a handshake. Crops sold by a handshake...and a transaction that got us our first Model T in exchange for nine loads of sand from our gravel pit was closed when my Father and our neighbour met, discussed the deal and closed it with a one pump handshake.

No wonder from the time

we were able to utter “Good day,” or “How do you do,” our mother thought it her duty to instruct us on the rudiments of handshaking. Just as we learned at an early age that we never chewed gum in public, wiped our noses on our cuffs, or stared at someone with an infirmity, we learned that some day we would be judged by our

handshake...and by all that was holy, we better learn how to do it well.

Noted Canadian artist to give unique summer weekend painting workshops at Mill of Kintail “Pictures should be inspired by nature; but made in the soul of an artist.”

Emily Carr, renowned Canadian artist When a master artist designs custom workshops for those who’ve always wanted to learn how to paint, it can be a real chance to make dreams come true.

When the artist is Canada’s Blair T. Paul, whose work spans the globe and graces the select collections of the corporate as well as the world’s finest galleries, it’s an opportunity not to be missed.

Summer is a particularly fertile time for creativity; if warm breezes stir you…if the colours of summer at their most vibrant pique your emotions…if textures and smells of wood and water and landscape call to you: you may have an artist in your soul.

If you have ever wondered whether you could capture nature’s essence through painting; now is the time to find out. The Mill of Kintail, where three weekend long workshops will take place this summer, is an enchanting venue and the perfect backdrop for painters.

Even if painting is something you’ve always wanted to do, that first leap; that blank canvas can be daunting. It keeps so many people from exploring their dream, so that they never try.

But now you can.

immediately. With that personal support, the immediate rewards of learning to paint can be that much greater.”

Whether you’re a complete beginner or want to take your painting to the next level, Paul can help you find your way.

Renowned Canadian artist Blair T. Paul is offering three weekend workshops at Almonte’s Mill of Kintail this summer. Above, Paul offering instruction to fellow artists. Left, Paul works on one of his pieces, using inspiration from a photograph. Above right, Paul depicts the rustic countryside in summer in this piece.

Sometimes all you need is the right instructor. Just someone who will guide you in a safe learning environment, encourage you, and experience that pleasure of creation right alongside you.

Paul, with many years of experience teaching at various colleges of art and other professional venues, well understands the gentle and friendly support that may be all that’s needed to open a world of excitement, colour, and accomplishment.

“Taking an art course is a shortcut to being more successful sooner,” says Paul. “Rather than struggling with a book or navigating the internet, an instructor can answer all your questions

Submitted photos

Exhibit at Mill of Kintail If you want to see Paul’s work at the workshop venue, Nature Speaks is currently on extended showing at the Mill.

Forty per cent of the proceeds will be going to fund a historic project, an effort to commission a statue of Canada’s own true Renaissance man, Dr. Robert Tait McKenzie. You can read more at www.blairpaul.com.

Through these relaxed, full-weekend workshops, you’ll experience nature at its most vibrant; share the fun and experience with others with the same dream; and when you come out, in a very real way, your life will be changed.

One workshop has already taken place July 11 and 12, but there are two more: Aug. 15 and 16 and Sept. 5 and 6 at the Mill of Kintail (www.millofkintail.com). Registration is filling up fast, so contact Blair T. Paul at ttbpaul4@ hotmail.com to ensure your place, or to ask any questions.

Cost is $200 for 16 hours of painting/instructional time. A 10 per cent discount applies to two or more workshops.

Discarded plastic leads to environmental action Reflections

By Jeff maguire

hit list of environmentalists.

It turns out that the “plastic bottle dinosaur” is one artist’s response to what she has witnessed on her travels.

It is not only plastic bottles of course. People discard all sorts of materials made from plastic which will not break down and disappear.

How often do you see plastic bags blowing around or stuck in bushes and tree tops? I see it every

day, everywhere. Plastic bags are another environmental scourge.

I applaud the big grocery chains for charging for bags which has, in turn, prompted many people (including us) to switch to fabric bags to haul our food stuffs home from the supermarket. One step in the right direction! But unfortunately it is a small step in the whole scheme of things. Plastic bags remain a staple for virtually everyone in the developed world when it comes to packaging trash. People use them to discard baby diapers, which themselves contain even more plastic or nonperishable materials. Plastic bags and containers are a constant in See COLUMN page 12

R0013363588_0716

In late May my wife and I visited Vermont, one of our favourite places in the world. On a sunny afternoon we strolled along State Street in Montpelier, the capital of the “Green Mountain State.”

Our purpose was to gaze again at the impressive gold dome of the Vermont State House. It’s a truly spectacular sight as the gold is real. The entire dome is gilded with a thin layer of leaf gold.

With a population of less than 8,000, Montpelier is the smallest state capital in the United States. The State House stands as a strong symbol of a state whose citizens are well known for their social conscience. Vermonters are also fiercely protective of their state’s reputation as a green, clean and picturesque place to live. Nearly 75 per cent of Vermont’s 25,000 square kilometres (9,600 square miles) is covered by forest. Therefore environmental issues are extremely important to residents.

As we walked past the State Capitol we came upon an unusual object which had been set up on the lawn of a neighbouring government building. It is shaped like a dinosaur and was constructed almost entirely of plastic bottles.

Not surprisingly perhaps a large number of Vermonters would like to see plastic of all kinds eliminated from everyday use. That’s because our throwaway society is tossing plastic products everywhere. Everywhere except where they should be going which is into recycling bins. Plastic bottles especially those which once contained soft drinks or water, are high on the

COLUMN

Massive problem However, the worst case scenario is the number of plastic bottles, bags and other containers which are carelessly discarded by the user. They are everywhere!

A few years ago we were on a tour bus which was taking us on a day trip through the picturesque Highlands in Scotland. We were sitting high enough that I was able to look down into the ravines and follow the path of rivers and streams which fell under my gaze. I was absolutely appalled by what I observed.

In an area which is lightly populated and probably considered “pristine” by many people the amount of garbage visible along the side of the road, just out of the sight of most motorists, was staggering. It was everywhere. The gullies and river beds were literally covered in litter including of course countless plastic items of all sorts.

So if it is that bad in the Highlands, imagine how many items are being discarded in heavily populated areas. It’s a modern-day scandal.

We have all seen the pitiful

photographs and video footage of wildlife who encounter items carelessly tossed into forest and ponds. Birds with plastic rings caught around their necks (from beer and soft drink packaging) or larger mammals that have become ensnared by bigger items.

Now the liquid soap many of us purchase is being criticized by environmentalists because of the plastic pellets which are included in the product. When untold trillions of these tiny pellets are washed down the drain the majority end up in the watershed.

Experts say the fish population in our lakes and rivers, including the Great Lakes, are under threat because they are ingesting the plastic pellets which, in turn, can’t be expelled from their systems. As a result, fish stocks will be further depleted they charge.

I won’t be popular with the bottled water folks for focusing on their industry. But the reality is that thoughtless people are not recycling plastic bottles. Instead they are discarding them everywhere. And the statistics on bottled water use in Canada demonstrates how big a problem it is when even a fraction of empty bottles are carelessly thrown away.

I’m not going to get into the argument about bottled water versus tap or well water, although that would probably be a good subject for another column. But consider the statistics. The numbers show that a staggering 60 per cent of Canadians are regular users of bottled water. That despite the fact

children about the depth of this growing problem.

“Waste doesn’t exist if you collect it, clean it, separate it and bring it to the right place,” she adds.

Kathy and I saw the statue sculpted by Maria during a limited viewing period which followed a “Green Up Vermont Day” staged in Montpelier in early May. She was assisted in putting her statue together for display by school children from the community.

Vermont state legislators recently approved a new Universal Recycling Law (Act 148).

The historic action makes Vermont the first state in the union to prioritize all food scraps for beneficial uses, thus lead-

ing the way to a future of zero waste.

Obviously many will find passage of this kind of legislation fanciful because it is so difficult to enforce. But you have to start somewhere and I give Vermonters credit for taking such a positive step in dealing with a matter that is so clearly out of control, not only on this continent but around the world.

In Canada we would do well to seriously look at similar legislation. If we want to save our environment some affirmative action is desperately needed.

Discarded bottles The chicken wire dinosaur statue is nicknamed ‘Greenosaurus.’ It was constructed almost entirely using 1,500 plastic bottles which the artist, Netherlands native Maria Koijck, picked up during a two-month period on her daily bicycle rides to and from work.

Another window on how serious this problem is.

Maria asks, “If we go on producing waste, will Mother Earth yield plastics instead of fertile soil in the future?”

She says that question has haunted her in the wake of a recent visit to Sierra Leone in west Africa where she was working with Save the Children. While in the country she

“I have never seen so much plastic waste,” she says.

It was the Sierra Leone experience which prompted the construction of Greenosaurus. Maria says she knows the “plastic soup” she witnessed is not just as African problem. “It starts right at our front door,” she observes.

Informing people about this worldwide problem is now a mission for Maria who organizes large scale community art projects aimed at changing what she sees as “the fixed ideas” so many people have about street litter. She also visits schools where she informs

Walkerton aside!

If Canada’s bottled war use figures are reflected around the world then imagine how many bottles are being sold annually on this planet.

I will readily admit to using bottled water, but only on occasion. We do keep a supply in the house in case of emergency, as the civil defence experts suggest. So there’s no question there is practical use for bottled water at times. The obvious concern is how many empty bottles end up thoughtlessly tossed into the environment.

The issue is where so many of these products end up. Bad enough that our landfills are chock full of plastic which will, in all likelihood, never really break down so that it is rendered harmless.

this going to the Ontario REALTORS Care Foundation, a charity established in 1967 to help raise funds for shelter-based charitable organizations. Since its inception, the foundation has granted more than $4.4 million on behalf of Ontario realtors to shelter-based organizations across the province.

“We are delighted to have our fellow realtors pay us a visit on their way to Ottawa,” says Sharon Clarke, president of the Rideau-St. Lawrence Real Estate Board, Brockville office.

The 2015 Motorcycle Ride for Charity kicked off at the Ontario Real Estate Association in Toronto. The riders also made stops in Durham and Peterborough before arriving at their final destination, the Ottawa Real Estate Board.

“What started as a summertime joyride for a group of realtors with a fondness for riding, eventually turned into an annual fundraiser,” said Dreena Gilpin, president of the Ontario REALTORS Care Foundation.

“The annual ride is a fun way to support families in their pursuit of shelter and home ownership. This year’s goal is to raise $25,000 for shelter. The money raised in each community stays within the community.”

The foundation’s efforts help build vibrant, healthy communities for all Ontarians. The purpose of the foundation is to contribute to its members’ communities by making a difference in the lives of people and communities where they live and conduct business.

The Ontario REALTORS Care Foundation, formerly the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) Foundation was established in 1967. The foundation supports shelter-based charitable organizations across Ontario. Every donation to the foundation is invested, and the interest earned from the investments is allocated to the cause. All of the interest generated goes directly to supporting local charities, as the foundation’s administrative costs are covered by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA).

In 2014, the foundation gave

out $910,000 in grants to over 200 organizations across the province.

Some recipients were: Habitat for Humanity, Covenant House Toronto, Eva’s Initiatives, Community Living Mississauga and Sexual Assault Support Centre of Ottawa.

The foundation operates solely on the basis of voluntary donations. Every dollar raised directly benefits its recipients.

Realtors in Ontario play an integral part in their communities.

In a recent survey by OREA, 84 per cent of Ontario realtors said they had contributed to their local community either through local charities, sports teams or events within the past year. That means, over 51,000 of Ontario’s 61,000 realtors contributed in one way or another to their community’s wellbeing.

More than $620,000 has been raised for the foundation so far this year. For a full list of riders and for more information about the Ontario REALTORS Care Foundation and Motorcycle Ride for Charity, visit realtorscareontario.ca.

Join the 157th Almonte Fair in celebrating 100 years of 4-H July 17-19 Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

The Almonte Fair is celebrating 100 years of 4-H in Ontario this year.

This year’s 157th Almonte Fair runs from Friday, July 17 to Sunday, July 19. It will be much the same fair locals have come to know and love, with a focus on the history of 4H over the last century.

Though the fair has always strived to be educational as well as fun, this year’s fair will boost its informative exhibits with demonstrations, competitions and displays centered on the fair’s theme.

“We always try to teach the children about real farming,” said Marilyn Snedden, who sits on the fair’s board of directors, “but we also try to put on some good family entertainment at the same time.”

The 157th Almonte Fair is coming to town July 17 to 19 this year, and is busier than ever before. This year’s theme celebrates 100 years of 4-H in Ontario, and incorporates education and fun into one event. Left, this 4H quilt, made to honour the past century of 4-H in Ontario, is being circulated throughout Eastern Ontario this year. It will be on display during the fair. Above, this baby llama, threemonth-old Cria, is a new addition to the educational barn this year.

Highlights The Almonte Fair is almost three full days of events, all of which would be impossible to mention, Snedden said. However, there are some highlights – new At that time, both the educafeatures and much-anticipated July 17 at 1 p.m. at the North Lanark Agricultural Society fair- tional barn and the midway will traditions – to note. open for the weekend.

The fair kicks off on Friday, grounds on Water Street.

This year’s educational barn is better than ever, Snedden said.

There, guests will be able to view a whole new group of animals, including a three-month-old llama named Cria, a Clydesdale foal and a pot-bellied pig.

“They should be a big attraction this year,” Snedden said.

Submitted photos

Of course, the midway will be popular again this year as well.

After stepping up at the last minute to provide their services for last year’s fair, the Gable Brothers Midway will be back again.

“The Gable Brothers are brining an even bigger and better midway than last year,”

Snedden said.

Then, at 7:30 p.m., the annual Demolition Derby will begin before Friday’s events wrap up around 10 p.m.

On Saturday, July 18, events run all day, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

In addition to the educational barn and the midway, Saturday will feature exhibits by Little Ray’s Reptiles, who are doing an Australian theme this year, and Mystic Drumz.

The ever-popular outhouses races will take place on Saturday as well, along with a new light horse show and a chili cook off.

Live entertainment will also be on stage at the grandstand all day.

Finally, on Sunday, July 19, the fair will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

On that day, the midway and educational barn will be open once again. Also featured are a heavy horse show, pony rides and a baked bean cook off.

“The fair is a busy event every year,” Snedden said. “We’re hoping for some beautiful weather this year.”

That’s modern luxury.SM

Veteran Canadian actor returns to Classic Theatre stage One of playwright Neil Simon’s most vivid characters, the fun-loving, life-affirming Victor Velasco of the early 1960s marital comedy Barefoot in the Park, will be brought to life this summer in the Classic Theatre Festival production of this Simon classic by a performer whose passion for life easily matches that of the character he’s playing.

The show, which runs July 10 to Aug. 2 at 54 Beckwith Street East, features William Vickers a decades-long veteran of Canadian theatre who has spent 28 seasons at the renowned Shaw Festival. A National Theatre School graduate, he’s also trod the boards at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, and taken on roles as varied as A Christmas Carol’s Ebenezer Scrooge and Canadian icon Billy Bishop.

The son of opera singer Jon Vickers, William Vickers was studying geography at Bishop’s University when an elective theatre course captured his imagination. In no time he was part of the Stratford Festival’s young company under the guidance of legendary Canadian director John Hirsch.

Vickers says it makes sense he wound up in theatre given a con-

fluence of factors in his youth.

His mother, an English teacher, read to him every night, as did his teachers in grades 3 and 4, and Vickers often found himself “lovingly lost in the world of these stories.” Vickers says many people assume actors are extroverts, “but we’re very shy people. We are often observers more than participants in social relations.”

Moving around frequently as a youngster, he found it difficult to make friends, and often spent his time on the outside looking in, a position that he says helps him as he develops roles on stage.

“When I’m on the subway in Toronto, I’m just casing the joint, there’s so many fascinating people out there.”

Vickers will travel anywhere in Canada to perform, and that drive has seen him on every stage from Northern BC to Nova Scotia, with a dozen years at Regina’s Globe Theatre.

“I feel lucky to have worked not only with people considered the pillars of Canadian theatre, people like Douglas Campbell and William Hutt, but also a lot of the innovative and exciting directors that you don’t always hear about but whose work is

It’s their work, he says, that he seeks out, and that’s bringing him to Perth once again this summer. (Vickers performed in the Festival’s inaugural season as Dr. Bradman in Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit.)

“I know (Classic Theatre Festival artistic producer) Laurel Smith is a brilliant director,” he says. “I saw her work at the Shaw Festival and said to myself, ‘I have to work with her,’ and this is the second

summer I will.”

Despite his extensive resumé, this is the first Simon play Vickers has performed in. “This is a year of firsts for me, because in addition to Barefoot in the Park, I also did my first Pinter and Beckett plays,” he says.

“Simon has such an amazing rhythm in the writing, and he gives you these characters who are begging to be mined, people who are yearning to make a human connection, which is why his plays are so universally loved,” Vickers says. “There’s a sense sometimes with Neil Simon that you wonder if the playwright asked himself, ‘How would Groucho Marx say this line,’” an ode to Simon’s fondness for the comedies that marked 1930s

To the left, a dedicated crowd lined Main Street of Elgin July 11 to catch the 20-minute Elgin Days Parade this year. Many of the community’s organizations and businesses were represented with floats in the parade that also featured two cadet-based bands. Above, members of the Wild Cats basketball team get in on the fun.

Lyndhurst’s Marwin and Kathi Antoine and family’s horse-drawn wagon was a big hit at parade. Many onlookers praised the beautiful team of horses that carried passengers as they made their way down the parade route.

The tenth annual CFUW Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour is scheduled for Dec. 5 and 6.

Eight unique homes will be featured on the tour; some historic and some modern, but all lovely. They will have been transformed for the holiday season by gifted local decorators and florists and will be sure to inspire your own decorating. While you are in historic Perth, you can also enjoy our annual Santa Claus Parade on the evening of Dec. 5 and visit the dazzling display of Christmas trees in the Crystal Palace.

Local restaurants, as well as St. James Anglican Church, will offer specially priced lunches to ticket holders during the tour.

Informative bookmarks have been distributed to area businesses which provide more details about the tour.

They will serve as reminders to invite your in-town and out-of-town friends to join you for this annual Christmas season kick-off in Perth. Many visitors have told us that they now make the tour weekend an annual event for reconnecting with family and friends.

Not only is the tour a fun way to see special homes, it also provides an opportunity to invest in the future, since all proceeds are used to provide educational

Sunny Shenanigans has decided to run Appreciate Being Me – Celebrate Your Uniqueness Through The Art of Puppetry summer day camp.

Last summer, Sunny Shenanigans partnered up with Parrot Partner and the Hub to run an eco-educational camp – Parrots, Puppets and Play – which was a great learning experience. This summer Donna Bourgeault, sole proprietor of Sunny Shenanigans, decided to use her skills as an Expressive Arts graduate and puppeteer to try something different and unique.

This summer camp uses expressive arts activities to explore self-awareness, improve self-growth and promote well-being. Donna has been doing puppetry for more than 10 years from performing and facilitating workshops, she plans to use these skills to help children tell their stories and create a puppet that reflects the knowledge they will gain throughout the camp. All this will take place in the heart of Lanark County, an amazing country setting full of positive energy and outdoor fun; and also a large shop well stocked with materials for fun activities and a unique place to create puppets.

A plethora of activities will be used from puppetry, storytelling, art journals, music, poetry, artistic games and activities. All this with no expectations or skills required.

This allows the children to explore and have fun and become empowered in a safe environment.

Donna graduated from Theatre Arts at Algonquin College with honours and has recently graduated from

The Studio Theatre’s season is the cat’s meow

Each year, visitors to the Studio Theatre’s booth at Maplefest have a chance to win a pass to the theatre’s entire upcoming season of plays. This year’s lucky winner of a Studio Theatre season pass is Cassandra Prince, owner of The Cat’s Meow Luxury Inn for Cats in Maberly. Here, Cassandra, left, is congratulated by Studio Theatre president Penny Silberhorn. Studio Theatre season passes are currently available, offering a variety of money-saving options on a whole season of great entertainment. Please visit studiotheatreperth.com for complete details.

I think we’ve all wondered about the origins of the Minions. I kind of had my money on a cloning experiment that went sideways, but I never really thought there’d be a whole movie in it. It’s so good to be wrong.

It seems the Minions have been around since before man. From the very beginning they’ve sought out the most terrifying and despicable master to serve. Finding a master was easy, but keeping one proved difficult.

Eventually the Minions found themselves without a master, and forced into hiding. However without a master they began to lose their will to live.

To save his people Kevin (Pierre Coffin) decides to venture back into the world, and find a new master. The year is 1968 and together with Stuart (Pierre Coffin) and Bob (Pierre Coffin) they travel all the way to America and the infamous Villain Con. There they hope to impress the world’s most famous super villain Scarlett Overkill (Sandra Bullock).

For some reason Scarlet and her husband Herb (Jon Hamm) like what they see. They hire

My Take

MARK HASKINS

Kevin, Stuart and Bob, but Scarlett needs them to do one little job to seal the deal. They have to steal the British Crown Jewels.

If you enjoyed Despicable Me 1 and 2, or if you just love to laugh-out-loud then Minions is a must-see movie. I was laughing, my wife was laughing, my kids were laughing, the whole theatre was laughing.

The film moves at a dizzying pace. You never know what they’re going to throw at you, or where the next twist will take you.

There’s the physical gags, the outrageous situations, and of course there are the Minions themselves.

Their antics are ridiculous and endearing, and sometimes both at the same time. Though for me it’s all about the language. It’s an indecipherable mix of English, French, Spanish, Yiddish, gibber-

ish and who knows what. I have no idea what they’re saying, and yet I know exactly what they’re saying.

It’s one of the best comedic devices ever because they can say nothing, imply whatever they want, and get away with absolutely anything.

Great animation deserves a great cast. Minions has a great cast. Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Saunders and Geoffrey Rush let themselves get swept away in the wackiness to create some of the funniest characters in animation.

Speaking of letting themselves go Saundra Bullock just might be Scarlet Overkill in real life.

Without a doubt she steals the show. It’s my sincerest wish that she finds her way into Despicable Me 3.

Of course the heart and soul of Minions are Kevin, Stuart, and Bob all of whom are voiced by Pierre Coffin. Coffin has taken his creations from scene stealers to stars. They’re brilliant, he’s brilliant, his film is brilliant.

Tee off to support rescued pets at Putt for the Mutts golf tournament Aug. 22

This week’s featured pets Clyde Meet this very, super social, affectionate grey/white tabby cat. Clyde came to us with a ruptured eye. He was in a lot of discomfort and needed our assistance. At first we were afraid he would be losing his eye, but luckily with the right veterinarian care and TLC from the staff at LAWS we were able to save it. Although his healed eye is a little smaller than the other one, he sees very well.

It’s actually barely noticeable and for you to guess which eye it is. Come and meet this boy,

the vet was puzzled at first what to do with me. Oh, I feel so special. At the end they decided that after the operation I was going to be a girl and what a nice girl I am. I turned out to be a very pretty grey British shorthair female. I can’t stop looking at myself.

One more special thing about me: I am not vocal, I don’t meow and when I purr I make very sweet soft of chirping sounds. Oh I can’t wait for the lineup of people to take me home. I am so ready, you too?

First come first served. See you soon!

Columnist asks: If we’re being driven to distraction, who’s at the wheel? and bureaucracy and laws to dictate exactly what a carmaker can put on their instrument panels and what they can’t. But it seems like we’re dealing with the Wild West when it comes to this issue.

The US’ National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has guidelines when it comes to the number of vision glances, finger pushes, and time it takes to perform any vehicle control while still allowing the driver to keep a suitable level of attention towards driving and being safe in their environment. But these guidelines seem to have no enforcement mandate.

Carmakers will simply reply they are responding to consumer demand and the overwhelming demand is to have a vehicle that keeps drivers as connected, entertained, GPS located, and umbilically fused to their device of choice as possible. But if consumers suddenly decided in droves that they didn’t want seat belts or air bags, would automakers accommodate them? And to automakers, this issue is critically important. Just look at the dive in JD Power satisfaction rating points that Ford took a few years back when their otherwise fine products drove consumers nuts with less-than-perfect infotainment/communication interfaces.

That drastic drop meant lost sales and lower profits.

But before legislated hammers come down, some research is needed. How many accidents

are being caused by the new proliferation of extra-large colour touch screens?

Should attending police service officers be asking a standardized set of questions at collision sites to collect data? Can vehicle black-box ‘flight recorders’ be programmed to record touch screen events at the time of a collision? (You’d be surprised at the number of vehicles that have such recording capability and how you’re pretty much powerless to keep its evidence from being used against you in a court of law.)

On a related note, the US government launched a new website last week to educate consumers on the benefits and operation of all the new vehicle features that fall under the ‘collision mitigation’ umbrella. Things like lanekeeping assist and lane-departure warning, blind-spot detection, cross-path traffic warning, and the like are covered quite well at www.mycardoeswhat.org. It’s a very visual and interactive site that lets you compare and learn exactly how these systems work to help you decide which of them you might want in your next ride.

Few of us need much of an excuse to travel across the border to visit New York State, but just in case here’s one. From July 17 to 19, the Syracuse Nationals car show comes to the NY State Fairgrounds in Syracuse. It’s billed as the largest car show in the northeast US and eastern Canada and drew more than 8,000 cars to last year’s edition. Check out www. rightcoastcars.com for information.

A little closer to home on the same dates, the Athens Farmersville Exhibition – Steam Show

lands in, where else, Athens. In addition to antique and collector cars and trucks, you can find farm equipment and tractors from every generation.

On Saturday, July 18, the All British Car Day rolls into Britannia Beach Park – Lakeside Gardens in Ottawa. This includes motorcycles as well. And on Sunday, July 19, the Golden Gears Car Club Fly-In Car Show lands at Iroquois Airport in Iroquois from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

It seems that car companies, in general, are on a collision course to set back vehicle safety by decades. After all the advancements in passenger protection systems such as seat-belts, air-bags, antilock brakes, uni-body crumple zones, etc., drivers, passengers, and pedestrians are being put at risk by increasingly more complex and distracting instrument panels and infotainment systems.

While few auto execs will publically admit it, the newest wave of collision mitigation systems now available, were spawned by the risks caused by increasingly distracted drivers. If drivers weren’t busy tapping on a central dash located touch pad to find their favorite music play list or to review incoming texts, they wouldn’t need a system to remind them they have veered out of their lane or to slam on the brakes because they couldn’t look up to see a stopped truck in front of them.

Today every automaker is in a headlong rush to turn the dashes on their vehicles into the largest and most complicated smartphone display systems possible. Some makers are turning to Apple and Google for operating systems, while others are developing systems of their own. The big question is, “Can all the desired applications on these systems be executed safely by a driver in any road or traffic condition?” One might think that governments have departments

Councillors air concerns over community mailboxes, public engagement clarified Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Canada Post has assured Smiths Falls that a thorough communication process will be undertaken when deciding where to place the community mailboxes (CMB) in town, but Mayor Shawn Pankow said he worries the process may cost the town in staff hours and leave them with a future maintenance concern.

Chad Schella, director of government affairs for Canada Post has asked municipal staff to help them identify pipes and other service assets under the ground at proposed CMB sites in Smiths Falls, and is willing to compensate the town for this service at a rate of $50 per site.

“That will help towards the cost, but I don’t think it will cover the costs,” remarked Pankow.

“We think it’s a fair number” based on time required, Schella said, reiterating a commitment Canada Post made to the Canadian Federation of Municipalities.

“This program will not download costs on to you.”

Canada Post is committing to cover all costs relating to the sites including maintenance (snow removal, sanding and salting, equipment maintenance) in perpetuity. Schella noted the crown corporation currently spends $25 million on salt and sand a year to service its existing mailbox options that is used by two-thirds of Canadians. They have hired 1,500 contractors for snow removal services.

The crown corporation spokesperson visited Smiths Falls council chambers Monday night (July 13) to help answer councillors’ questions and begin what is expected to be a one-year process in which the community is invited to participate.

“We’re committed to making sure this transition is as smooth as possible and done in the right way,” Schella said.

At any point residents are invited to reach out to Canada Post with their questions on the transition to CMB. They may use the toll free number (1844-454-3009), the online site (www.canadapost. ca) or the many mailed options available to them.

Late last week 3,273 Smiths Falls residents in the K7A area code received their introduction package, including a survey to gauge their suggestion for a CMB site. In Smiths Falls all but 76 current door-to-door customers will be transitioned into CMB service, including 41 business customers.

“Along business corridors businesses will remain with door-to-door delivery,” Schella said.

It’s important to note any resident who has mobility issues or other concerns in reaching their mail is asked to call the toll free number above for free access to Canada Post’s process of improving accessibility delivery. Schella noted this is an individual process that looks at each person’s unique needs.

“That’s a very exhaustive process, but it’s one we have to undertake and we’re committed to undertaking it,” Schella said.

Site selection process The process of selecting the 80 to 100 CMB sites that will be needed in Smiths Falls has already begun with the mailed survey many received last week. Once all the information is collected, a summary will be mailed to each affected resident.

Then Canada Post will work with the municipality to identify potential sites.

“The siting of the boxes is obviously the biggest obstacle for us,” Schella acknowledged.

Once the potential sites are identified, property owners adjacent to these sites will receive a faceto-face meeting with a Canada Post representative who will be looking for feedback on the location and if there are any reasons (aside from ‘I don’t want it there’) that the CMB can’t be located at that location.

Niki McKernan, town planner estimates the majority of the town’s boxes will find homes on town road allowance property next to sidewalks, which will require encroachment agreements with the town. However, in older parts of town, private property does extend to the sidewalk.

“It’s not going to be an impossibility but it will certainly be a challenge,” McKernan said.

Pankow’s concern over unwanted mailed items

Chad Schella, director of government affairs for Canada Post attended Committee of Whole in Smiths Falls to discuss the process of transitioning into Community Mail Boxes.

Stacey Roy/ METROLAND

(ad mail) being left on the ground was eased by Schella who confirmed Canada Post is responsible for any clean up and efforts to eliminate littering.

He went on to say the community boxes have undergone a redesign to ensure it can hold 80 per cent of the parcels the corporation processes today and meet security needs.

“Canada Post’s future really depends on parcels. We’ve looked ahead for the years to come,” Schella said.

Their desire to maintain an avenue for business customers to send ad mail to residents in a timely fashion is part of the rational for keeping Canada Post service to five days a week rather than just simply reducing door-to-door service to a couple of days a week.

Councillors heard that in the last several years Canada Post has lost a volume of 1.5 billion letters. This lost revenue is challenging as letters did represent 50 per cent of their business and is the foundation on which the corporation was built.

“We don’t know when that’s going to bottom out. We were built for another time,” Schella said.

Coun. Dawn Quinn congratulated Canada Post representatives for thinking into the future and po-

History Moving 32 per cent of their customers to CMBs across Canada is only one of a five-point plan launched in 2013 that is designed to bring Canada Post into the future. At the end of March 2014 the corporation dramatically increased the cost of stamps as a way to increase revenues. There are also plans to streamline the mail process and increase mail dealers (partnerships with existing stores like Shopper’s Drugmart) numbers while decreasing the number of retail locations operated nationally. Schella said Canada Post currently operates 6,500 retail locations, which is more than Tim Hortons and McDonald’s combined.

sitioning themselves to ensure their current reality as a revenue generation entity remains intact into the future.

“If it didn’t happen we, here, would be paying the cost,” Quinn said.

Coun. Chris Cummings was comforted to hear many of the safety concerns he was hearing from residents were addressed by the corporation.

Schella noted the CMB units are more secure than a traditional mailbox.

Community members prioritize wait times, improved communication Feedback from the community at a series of open houses and through a broad region-wide survey is informing a large, multi-year project underway at hospitals across southeastern Ontario.

Each of the seven hospital organizations located within the South East Local Health Integration Network, as well as the South East Community Care Access Centre and the South East LHIN, launched a project called “Health Care Tomorrow – Hospital Services” last year, to improve access to high quality care through the development of a sustainable system of integrated care.

This week, a report summarizing the first phase of the project was released to the public on the www.healthcaretomorrow.ca website. This initial report summarizes options for potential changes to the regional system of hospitals that would improve access to patient care and make better use of resources across the South East LHIN. The hospitals are focusing attention on three key areas: clinical services, diagnostics and therapeutics and business functions. In each of these areas, while several options have been identified, each requires more detailed planning and analysis before any changes to the current system will be possible.

“Many patients in our region say they struggle to access the services they need in a coordinated way, particularly as they move between different health care providers or levels of care,” said Beverley McFarlane, President & CEO, Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. “Our population is aging and many residents in southeastern On-

tario need health care, but wait times can be long and services hard to navigate. This, combined with major changes to how hospitals are funded, increasing budget challenges, and evolving care models, have prompted us to come together to develop a cost-effective hospital system that will work well for patients.”

“Health Care Tomorrow is a long-term project that has us coming together and working collaboratively with a shared goal for our future: a strong, sustainable health system. This includes ready access to even the most specialized health services and support for the important academic mission of several of our local hospitals. We are working with communities and residents across southeastern Ontario to make sure our planning is responsive to the region’s needs,” said Dr. David Pichora, CEO, Hotel Dieu Hospital.

Included in the report released this week is a summary of the feedback received at several open house sessions hosted by the hospitals, South East CCAC and the South East LHIN in May-June. Over 400 people participated in the sessions, and more than 1,700 people responded to an online survey. Community members said improving wait times in emergency departments and for diagnostics, ensuring high quality care, and improving communication between various health providers are key priorities.

There will be other opportunities for community members to provide their input as part of the next phase of Health Care Tomorrow – Hospital Services project, which begins this fall and will run through the next year.

Girls are awesome! This is the message shared by participants in Girls Inc. Laurie Weir

states.

“We help them by providing them with the opportunities to develop and achieve their full potential,” Cole said.

There are six elements of the Girls Inc. experience: it’s a pro girls’ only environment; trusting mentoring relationships with adults; holistic, compensatory and intentional programming focused on girls’ needs; research-based curricula; interactive activities that promote girls’ strengths and sustained exposure to programming and connections.

According to their website, the Girls Inc. program started as part of the Big Sisters Association of Leeds and Grenville in 1979. After the merger of Big Brothers and Big Sisters, a meeting was held to continue to provide gender specific programming to girls only and a board of directors chose Girls Incorporated.

ljweir@metroland.com

Girls are awesome!

That was the message a couple dozen girls took home from a Girls Inc. program held July 8 and 9 at the Crossroads Community Health Centre in Portland.

Kelly Cole, program coordinator, said the programming helps to inspire girls.

“We want them to know they are strong, smart and bold,” she said.

This particular program is about engineering and teaching girls the science behind how things are made.

They learn hands on in a fun way.

“Nothing is too messy, too complicated or too outrages,” their website states. “Laughter, adventure, messes and fun are guaranteed.”

The girls were having lots of fun and their overall love of science was heard throughout the community centre.

This program “gives us courage to do whatever we want,” said Corinne Carbino, 11.

“It makes us feel good about ourselves,” added Madison Burns, 10.

The girls made little ‘Girl-Mail’ or ‘Gmail’ bags where they could write down nice things about other girls in class.

“We love that because it gives the girls a chance to say nice, positive things about each other,” Cole said. “At the end of two days, they are sad to go, but they have the opportunity to open their G-mail,” and see all the wonderful notes from their new friends.

Councillors looking for pedestrian crosswalks in town sroy@perfprint.ca

32 oz. domestic pitcher & 1 lb. wings – Only $15 R0013376538_0716

A passionate discussion around the safety of pedestrians and the need to improve crosswalk access to Lower Reach Park and the library will mean staff will bring a report back to councillors with recommendations on how and at what cost putting in crosswalks at these locations will mean to taxpayers.

“Crosswalks are a can of paint. Put them where they’re needed and let people walk safe,” remarked Coun. Lorraine Allen.

Niki McKernan, town planner explained the process is unfortunately not that simple. For a crosswalk to be legal it must have a lit yellow ‘X’ marker above the roadway in addition to the painted striped lines to remove liability from the municipality and drivers.

“That has been the problem in the past,” McKernan said.

The planner wasn’t sure if there were additional constraints on Beckwith Street as the roadway is considered part of a provincial highway or connecting link, but Allen wasn’t deterred, saying the painted lines are helpful in their own right.

“At the end of the day they give a signal to people who are driving,” Allen said.

The discussion initially began July 13 when Coun. Dawn Quinn brought forward a resident request for a crosswalk at Vincent Street and Jasper Avenue – a popular entry into Lower Reach Park, but soon became a larger discussion involving the many pedestrians seen dodging traffic on Beckwith

Street with a cup of coffee in their hands or their children anxious to go to a library program.

“This is the one we need to be looking at,” Allen said.

The liability for the town and vehicle operators is real. McKernan noted in the event of a car accident at a crosswalk with only the painted lines, the driver who stopped would be considered liable.

Staff has been looking into the possibility of crosswalks.

“We’re accumulating information at this point to try to get the best solution,” said Art Manhire, manager of community services.

He noted the intersection at Vincent Street and Jasper Avenue has not had an accident in the last 10 years.

Coun. Chris Cummings recalls the last estimate for crosswalks coming in at $100,000, which would be money well spent to the downtown banker who like Allen has seen multiple close calls on Beckwith Street.

“I am 100 per cent behind doing anything we can to get crosswalks in the downtown. I can’t believe we can’t do it,” he said.

The issue will also be sent to the town’s Traffic Advisory Committee for review and comment.

Fire department introduces new fines as part of restructuring sroy@perfprint.ca

A series of new permits and fines will be coming to a future council session for consideration with hopes that the town will be safer, the fire department more efficient and the cost of providing fire service better managed.

Fire Chief Norman Beauchamp presented the proposed changes at this week’s Smiths Falls committee of the whole session July 13.

The service has averaged one investigation per month over the last three months of reporting. This work provides an incredible amount of information about the origins of the fire, but can take days to complete.

In June, eight members took part in a four-day training session to become emergency medical first responders. This training was 45 hours in duration and will allow fire personnel to treat medical needs at the scene when required.

MVC, hazardous material cost recovery The chief had a draft bylaw in his hand this Monday when discussing the proposed bylaw dealing with cost recovery for motor vehicle collisions (MVC) or hazardous material incidents.

The proposed bylaw would have those responsible for the incident to cover the cost of equipment and staff, which can be hefty. According to the staff report, a rescue/vehicle, tanker and pumper would each cost $410 an hour for the first hour.

Each additional hour would come in at $410 per apparatus prorated billed with a minimum of 15 minutes. Beauchamp estimates revenues could be in the range of $1,640 as the service responds to two to three non-resident calls a year.

“If we have a train derailment in town whose going to pay for that,” the chief added. “These related costs should not be assumed by residents of Smiths Falls.”

Mandated fire alarm systems A second proposed bylaw involving fire services was brought forward this week and received general support from councillors. This one deals exclusively with medium- and high-risk buildings

that are required by the Ontario Fire Code to have a fire alarm system and carbon monoxide alarm system in their buildings.

The purpose of the bylaw is to reduce the number of false alarm calls due to a lack of maintenance (often not replacing aged fire alarms) of the fire system.

Beauchamp said they have been called to some buildings four to six times a year at all hours for this reason, but the issue goes beyond one building. The chief noted the fire department currently answers between 90 and 100 false alarms See FIRE SERVICE page SF7

Emergency services restructuring Much of this work comes from an internal restructuring the Smiths Falls Fire Department is currently undertaking, which extends to every element of the service including emergency response.

“We’re changing the way we’re doing business,” Beauchamp said.

As of July 6 emergency response calls will be answered in a platoon format. This means full-time and volunteer firefighters will be “on call” one week every three and expected to respond to any emergency call for service during that week.

“That will increase the productivity of my staff,” the chief said.

Over the last three months the response percentages of volunteer and full-time firefighters were as follows: April: 41 per cent (volunteer), 63 per cent (full-time); May: 31 per cent (volunteer), 59 per cent (full-time); and, June: 30 per cent (volunteer), 59 per cent (full-time), “In the next few months you will see an increase in participation rates. It’s not going to be pick and choose,” Beauchamp said.

To accommodate this new system, the fire service has hired two new people: a local businessman and a co-op student as firefighters.

Coun. John Maloney questioned whether the on-call schedule would be difficult for volunteer staff who must also work full-time jobs, but Beauchamp said it is quite the opposite in that it gives companies a better idea of when they may lose staff for a period of time and then two full weeks when they know their staff is entirely theirs.

“It’s better for families. They can plan ahead,” Beauchamp said.

The fire department’s work to restructure is also a means to plan ahead.

Next month the chief will be returning to committee of the whole to present an update on the possibility of expanding their dispatch services beyond Lanark County.

Beauchamp said there is some information yet to be made available and negotiations with one municipality is ongoing.

Existing residents who are served by the fire department will see improved services in a couple of areas. In May of this year seven firefighters were trained and became certified as fire investigators.

“That means all of our fires will be investigated,” Beauchamp said.

Currently the town has no means to recoup costs should a train derailment cause damage outside of rail company property or a drug lab require hazardous material clean up.

Coun. Lorraine Allen noted the enormity of the issue with rail cars that is currently being discussed across the country, adding rail cars with hazardous material are now expected to have an enclosed bottom.

“We’re dealing with a large issue here that could impact the safety of our community, so I think it’s important that we have something in place,” Allen said.

However the bylaw also applies to individuals involved in a car accident who are not residents of Smiths Falls, South Elmsley or Drummond-North Elmsley (all of whom receive fire protection from Smiths Falls Fire Department).

Coun. Joe Gallipeau challenged this portion of the bylaw, questioning whether such a move would be a turning away from the concept of mutual aid with neighbouring communities. ‘“If you guys aren’t from Smiths Falls you better not have an accident’, is that what you’re telling me,” Gallipeau asks.

Beauchamp noted a local case that occurred about four months ago where a car caught fire on Hwy 15, but was able to get to the arena where it was addressed safely by firefighters. When the Smiths Falls Fire Department attempted to bill the Ministry of Transportation for this incident it was declined because the firefighting services occurred at the arena and not on the highway where it began. Coun. Jay Brennan asked Beauchamp to send councilors information about the existing policies in Lanark Highlands and North Grenville prior to the next Council session, which coun. Chris Cummings echoed.

“More information is better, but let’s not delay it,” Cummings said.

a year.

“I think we have an issue,” he said.

If approved at a future council session, the new bylaw will require these property owners (estimated at about 300 properties in town) to purchase an annual $10 permit. This process will give the fire department the opportunity to gain current contact information and details of what is in the building in the event of a fire call.

“Sometimes we can wait 20 to 30

minutes at a scene to get the key holder.

We’re calling the old owner sometimes because if we’re breaking in whose going to pay the bill,” Beauchamp asks.

“I think it makes sense,” Mayor Shawn Pankow said.

“I appreciate the common sense approach,” added Cummings.

The second element of this bylaw is a fine for those buildings who have more than three false alarms in a year.

At this point, the property owner will be charge the cost of the fire call, which

is $600.

Gallipeau was the only voice around the horseshoe unpleased with the fine system.

“That doesn’t make any sense,” he said.

He feels many of these alarm systems aren’t owned by the property owners, but by the alarm companies who manage them making fining the property owner for lack of maintenance unfair. Beauchamp emphasized much of the maintenance issues he has

seen in town come from not replacing fire and carbon monoxide alarms after they’ve reach their useful life, which is 10 years.

This bylaw is anticipated to produce $3,000 in annual revenue from permits and potentially $3,000 in fine revenue over five years.

Beauchamp said this bylaw is in answer to committee of the whole’s January Service Sustainability Review request that the service find some cost savings in their operations.

Kingston Show & Shine to ride on another year The Kingston Show N Shine got its start in 2008 as a last-minute event geared to a small group of motorcycle enthusiasts. Organizers were astounded when it attracted a huge number of participants and viewers. From that first event the Show N Shine has grown exponentially every year. A major milestone was achieved in 2012 when organizers honored the Olympians of Special Olympics Ontario, and the event has raised funds and awareness for countless charities and organizations ever since the first show.

“We have strongly believed that bringing motorcyclists and charities together has proven to be very successful,” says organizer Guy Paquette. “Show N Shine has become a yearly tradition of fundraising by motorcycling enthusiasts for charities and causes.”

“This year we are honoring the Fallen Heroes and Wounded Warriors of Military, Police, Fire and Ambulance, who knowingly and willingly work hard every day to protect our lives.” On their behalf, Show N Shine is donating the proceeds of the 2015 show to Almost Home, a non-profit organization which provides a place of comfort and respite for families whose children are receiving medical treatment in Kingston area hospitals.

The event is free and open to all public to view, with the expectation that visitors will make a donation to the selected charity. To be held on July 25th from noon to 5 p.m., the family friendly event includes a custom bike display of all types, sizes and brands, plus a variety of shows, including Jason Thorne Freestyle Motocross and the Ontario Provincial Police Golden Helmets

Motorcycle Precision Team.

“In addition to the motorcycle displays, we also host lots of unique and interesting vendors, delicious food and live music performances throughout the day,” says Mr. Paquette. “In fact, for the first time this year we are extending the festivities to include a wrap-up party with Jack Astors starting at 8 p.m., during which we will announce the winner of the annual motorcycle raffle.”

“These truly sum up in a nutshell what we endeavor to accomplish every year. Show N Shine 100 percent not for profit and is solely supported by donations and sponsors every year.” He adds that in the past some shows have seen more than 7000 motorcyclists and motorcycle lovers, but the numbers are always anticipated to grow each year moving forward.

Anyway you scramble them, it’s still animal abuse

A

pig scramble, in my book, is nothing short of animal abuse.

Why is this such a huge hit at local fairs? I have not a clue. I can’t stand to see children jump into a pen with piglets, then proceed to haul on their little legs to get them into a circle to win a prize. At some fairs, I’ve seen contestants slathered in oil up to their armpits so grabbing onto a pig will be that much more challenging.

Why is this terrorizing of animals called “fun” and why are parents allowing their kids to take part in it? Anything to entertain the children… but at what cost?

In a recent story in this newspaper, it was highlighted that the Lombardy Fair will hold not one, not two, but THREE pig scrambles this year because it was such a huge hit last year. And after the threat of a visit from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) in 2010 at the Lansdowne Fair, it was cancelled… for that year only, citing hot This 1903 image of the July 12 Orange Parade on Beckwith Street is courtesy of the Heritage House Mu- weather as the reason why.

That agricultural fair still holds the seum. The image features a prominent King Billy riding atop his white steed to lead the parade downtown Smiths Falls. If you have a picture you would like to share with Remember When please email ljweir@metro- pig scramble.

The pigs are not hurt during these land.com or drop it off at 65 Lorne Street, Smiths Falls, ON. events, say the animals’ owners. And you would think they would know. They bring enough piglets with them so they take turns in the ring. There is plenty of water on site for them. In my opinion, that’s a bunch of hogwash!

But there is little reprieve from the frantic, screaming children who are hopped up on sugary midway treats, flailing about in the ring trying to grapple these pigs – greased or not.

How can you stand on the sidelines and watch the baby piglets running around scared out of their wits, eyes darting to and fro, throngs of children

Remember When

LAURIE WEIR Weir View coming at them – now these kids are big compared to the piglets. The animals are squealing and running in fear. Children, in their excitement, squeal just as loudly, run and pile dive into the pigs, often times falling on the animal and hurting it even more than it already is being hurt with its legs going every which way.

These events teach kids the wrong lessons. Kids will learn that it’s just fine to mistreat animals, chase them, scare the daylights out of them and hurt them.

They also teach that it’s funny – oh, look! Mom and Dad think that it is hysterical. It must be all right!

Come on parents, you too should be using your brains here.

I can’t stand it. Photographing it is even worse. It’s part of the job that I would rather avoid.

This is an agricultural fair… but is this regular agricultural practice? I should hope not.

How about doing a different kind of pig scramble?

Fill a pool with plastic pigs (I know the Canadian Cancer Society may have some they can lend out), and have kids jump into that and find a pig with a red dot on the bottom of it. Or something… anything but wrestle with live piglets.

My intention is to boycott this event, and I know I won’t be the only one doing so.

Who’s with me? ljweir@metroland.com

Big Rideau Lake Association marks a century of service Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Many things have changed over the last 100 years except the passion Big Rideau Lakes residents have for their lake and way of life. Between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Aug. 8 the public is invited to celebrate this dedication at a 100th anniversary celebration inside Hannah Park, Portland.

“We’re trying to make a bit of a day of it,” explains Doug Good, past president of the Big Rideau Lakes Association (BRLA) who is marking their centennial anniversary of continuous operation.

Event organizers are urging any owners of antique boats, tractors or motorcycles to bring their chrome and wooden works of art to the park for crowd appreciation. Portland has a proud history of recreation vehicles, including the likes of Will Dowsett who hand made boats in the community from the late 1800s until 1947.

Don’t make meal plans this day, as a delicious breakfast will be served by the Anglican Church (Parish of the Rideau) followed by lunch by the Portland United Church.

Plans are also in the works to offer a historical wagon ride through the village Aug. 8. If available, Dowsett’s former home is sure to be among the stops passengers will drive past.

The Delta Mill is proud to support the BRLA’s celebration this summer by lending a selection of Dowsett tools for display purposes at the park. The mill currently has 57 items in its collection, most of which are hand tools used by the Portland resident to build boats.

A 1915 Big Rideau Lake Protective and Aquatic Association Regatta cup will be another historical super star on display Aug. 8. This cup is largely responsible for the centennial celebrations

as its discovery by the association last year allowed them to pinpoint approximately when their organization was established.

“That was pretty definite they were around in 1915,” Good adds. “When you stop and think over 100 years the amount of change that’s going on. It means that people have been concerned about this lake and protecting this lake for 100 years.”

A year before, the train track system was established in the area giving a feeling of great possibility to residents.

Amidst this excitement, a group of lakefront property owners began talking about the need to protect their lifestyle (by buoying shoals and stocking the lake with fish), create a voice for waterfront residents in the community and a legacy for future generations. According to Rideau Passages, a book written by Jane Moore, The Rideau Lakes Protective and Aquatic Association was established in 1922 with W.F. Brooks serving as the organization’s first president. By the following year, the organization had built tennis courts on McDonald Island.

On Aug. 8, 1942 they changed their name to the Big Rideau Lake Protective Association, and six years later launched free movies in the park in Portland. Also at this time, the organization purchased Cow Island and built a cottage with donations from 100 families who lived on the lake. By 1968 the club had the joy of retiring this debt. The BRLA continues to manage 107 Shoal markers on the Big Rideau Lake each season to ensure boaters have safe passage on the water. This program, according to Good, dates back to the 1930s.

Be sure to stop by Aug. 8 and celebrate 100 years of maintaining a vow and protecting a legacy for future generations.

“Do you think melatonin is of any value?” a doctor recently asked me. So if a doctor is wondering about this natural remedy, there must be many patients who are asking the same question. So what do we know about it?

Melatonin has been labeled “the darkness hormone” because it’s produced at night in contrast to vitamin D, “the sunshine hormone”, that’s manufactured during sunlight hours.

Dr. Gifford-Jones Melatonin is found in some plants such as bananas, cherries and grapes. A report in the Journal of Medicinal Food showed that tart cherry juice, compared to a placebo drink, helped some older people sleep better. But it required 16 ounces a day, (the equivalent of 100 cherries) to have this modest effect. It also added 250 calories to daily intake.

Melatonin is linked to our biological time-clock which decides what hormones are released at what times during the day.

Studies show that levels of melatonin decrease with age, about 10 percent each decade. So by age 50 the production of melatonin has declined by one half and at 80 it’s one third of what it was at age 20. Some authorities believe this is why the elderly suffer from insomnia and why it’s prudent to use a melatonin supplement.

In recent years melatonin has been touted as a way to treat or prevent everything from headaches, depression, fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome and anxiety. In fact, some have suggested it can even cure menopausal symptoms and be of help to those with heart problems and cancer. But according to a report from the University of California, there’s no evidence that melatonin should be used for these problems.

Dr. John Alevizos, a California physician, with an interest in insomnia, reports this interesting observation about the deep sleep produced by melatonin. He says deep sleep can trigger vivid dreams. This can be good news for some people, as there are vivid dreams and vivid dreams. But if it’s causing nightmares he says it’s best to stop melatonin.

Sleeping pills can provide a good night’s sleep and make you feel great the next day, but also give you an old-fashioned hangover. Melatonin can also have this two-edged effect and no one knows whether prolonged use of melatonin suppresses the body’s normal ability to manufacture it.

Research studies have also linked the use of melatonin to high blood sugar, breast swelling in men, decreased sperm count, gastrointestinal inflammation, sleep walking and vertigo.

So how safe is melatonin? A review by the Cochrane Collaboration which evaluates medical treatments concluded that melatonin is effective for preventing or reducing jet lag and recommended it for adult travelers flying across five or more time zones, particularly for those travelling in an eastward direction.

The National Standard which also reviews complimentary and alternative treatments found some good for its use in treating insomnia in the elderly and for helping sleep in healthy people. But for all the other supposed benefits the evidence was inconclusive or conflicting.

Another report from the University of California and the Mayo Clinic agrees that melatonin is safe for short periods of time and may be useful for treating insomnia in the elderly.

But it’s not just people who fly across time zones who cannot sleep. Studies show that 45 percent of the population suffers from this problem which has been linked to increased risk of heart attack, stroke, increased blood sugar, a craving for food and a less effective immune system. So it’s medically important to get your sleep.

For flights, the dose varies from 0.5 to 10 milligrams (mgs).

But since we all have different reactions to medication it is always prudent to ask your doctor about the best dose for you.

You can also get sound advice by discussing this problem with your local Health Food Store.

To me, one thing is certain. There are several prescription drugs for insomnia. But it makes more sense to try a natural remedy first. They have been tested by tincture of time and safer than prescription drugs.

Eighth annual Gil Read Memorial Tournament in Carp this weekend Jeff Maguire

Ten men’s fastball teams from Ontario, Quebec and the northern United States will vie for the title when the eighth annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament hits the diamonds at Carp Fairgrounds this weekend.

The competition has become a highlight on the summer sports calendar in eastern Ontario and 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.

Chris Read, son of the late Gil Read and his cousin Al Read are once again part of the organizing committee which also includes Adam Brown and Cory Morrison.

“Adam and Cory have made huge contributions this year,” Chris says.

One team that won’t be back in 2015 is last year’s tournament champions, the Micksburg Twins.

The upper Ottawa Valley club, who are currently tied for second place in the seven-team Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) standings, have decided not to compete in Carp this year.

But Elkland Thunderbellys from Pennsylvania, runners-up in the Gil Read competition the past two years, will be back in the line-up. This time around Elkland will be hoping to avoid the sting of last year’s heartbreaking 1-0 defeat at the hands of Micksburg in the title contest. Two years ago they were downed by Sharon (Ontario) Lake Simcoe Lightning in the championship game.

This will mark the third consecutive year that Thunderbellys, from the small village of Elkland in northcentral Pennsylvania, will compete in the Carp showdown.

“The Elkland people really enjoy our tournament and it is good to have them back for a third straight year. Looking back at the past two competitions they have to be the early favourites,” Chris states.

They will have a strong opponent from the United States to contend with this year however. CPI 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.

CPI, formerly McKie Sports, is a top-flight team who have more than a dozen major tournaments on their schedule this year including the ISC II (International Softball Congress) competition in Kitchener, Ontario Aug. 14-19. CPI is hoping to improve on their 12th place finish in that tournament last season. The club has all of their veterans back in the line-up for 2015 and they have also added two key players from Iowa (an American fastball hotbed) to their line-up. They promise to be a formidable opponent in Carp.

Strong line-up “I think this is the strongest lineup we’ve ever had for the tournament. The decision by Oswego CPI to take part cemented that,” Chris notes.

The province of Quebec will be represented by a tournament team nicknamed the Quebec Juniors. Included will be members of Quyon Flyers who are currently fourth in the GOFL standings.

Leading the eastern Ontario entries will be local favourites Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric from GOFL and Ottawa area teams the Kanata Storm and Broker4 Tickets.

Broker 4 was semi-finalist last year, losing to eventual winners Micksburg 2-0.

The north shore of Lake Ontario will also be well represented with perennial Gil Read entry the Napanee Junior Express returning to the event and Kingston Axemen making their tournament debut. Napanee made it to the semi-finals last year before losing to Elkland 6-2.

The other Ontario teams penciled into the line-up are Oshawa Rebels of the Oshawa City and District Fastball League and Elmira Expos from the Waterloo area.

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.

All proceeds of the tournament 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.

Since the tournament moved to Carp six 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 longtime men’s fastball coach who died tragically in 2007.

Also this year the Most Valuable Player award for the tournament will be presented in memory of Joel Langford, a highly skilled Ottawa fastball player, who died unexpectedly on June 2 at the tender age of 26.

“Joel competed in the tournament every year. We want to do this for his family, friends, teammates and coaches,” Chris explains.

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 prompted organizers to seek another location and in 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 have been split into two, five team divisions. The competition begins Friday night with four games, two beginning at 7 p.m. and two more at 9 p.m.

Action resumes Saturday at 9 a.m. and continues all day. Playoffs take place Sunday morning and the championship final is scheduled for 3 p.m.

The tournament winner will pocket $1,500 while the runner-up will take home $700. The losing semifinalists will each receive $250.

Chris says his committee always welcome additional sponsors to assist the foundation in its goal to assist as many underprivileged young people as possible in their goal to play organized 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 really appreciate their loyalty and their ongoing support,” he adds.

Good competition Beginning Friday night 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 this weekend.

Those who attend will find a large refreshment tent on site and a hot dog and hamburger barbecue will be held all weekend. Again this year the popular “loonie ball toss” is back.

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 and there are lots of activities for youngsters including a splash pad which will allow children to cool off.

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.

Tri-county health unit observes World Hepatitis Day July 28 July 28 marks World Hepatitis Day. The goal of this day is to increase awareness of Hepatitis.

Did you know there are several different types of Hepatitis? In Canada, the most commonly seen are Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. Both of these diseases are spread through direct blood-to-blood contact with an individual who is already infected.

In Canada, an estimated one out of every 100 Canadians have been infected with Hepatitis C in their lifetime. There is an estimated 245, 987 people living with Chronic Hepatitis C in Canada.

Many people who are living with chronic Hepatitis C do not know that they have the disease as symptoms may not appear for 20 to 30 years.

Hepatitis can be spread from in-

dividual to individual through the sharing of personal hygiene equipment like razors and toothbrushes, and through improperly cleaned equipment from nail salons, spas, etc. It can also be spread through the sharing of drug using equipment and tattooing and piercing equipment.

One of the keys to curbing the spread of Hepatitis C in our communities is to increase the number of

individuals being tested for the disease. Hepatitis C testing requires a blood test that you can ask for from your family doctor, a nurse practitioner or through the local health unit.

There is currently no vaccine available to prevent individuals from getting Hepatitis C. Treatment is available, with cure rates of 95 per cent or higher, but reinfection can occur as there are mul-

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, don’t be fooled by appearances. Sometimes there is more than meets the eye, and finding the truth beneath the surface can prove enlightening.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, use this week to experiment in the kitchen. You will benefit from exploring new cuisines you have long been wanting to try but have yet to prepare.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 You need a confidence booster, Libra. Take action and seek ways to feel better about a situation that has been bothering you. This proactive approach may be all you need.

But it could be that you’re looking to advance too quickly. Be patient and allow your skills to grow.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Take credit for your ideas, Sagittarius. Remember to be humble, but don’t feel shy about expressing your pride in a job well done.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Get the facts before drawing any conclusions this week, Capricorn.

Peacefully, early morning, Sunday, July 5, 2015, William Michael Collins passed from this world into the next. Mike was born June 18, 1944, in Barrow-in-Furness, England, to Charles Frederick & Dorothy (née Story) Collins. Mike was also a loving father to both Mark Joseph Collins & Sarah Michelle (née Collins) Egan, father-in-law to Kraig Egan, and loving friend of Chevy. Mike lived in several places during his life, including: England, where he was born; Hong Kong, while his father worked in the British Merchant Navy; Vancouver, where Mike spent his teenage years; Ottawa, where he attended Carleton University and completed his Master’s of Science; London, where he completed his Ph.D in Applied Mathematics at Western University; Mississauga, then later Oakville, as he pursued his career as Safety Analyst at Atomic Energy of Canada; and finally, his last place of residence, Carleton Place, where he spent his retirement years enjoying the fruits of his labour. Mike was a hard worker, but also enjoyed ‘puttering’ around the house, fixing up things and coming up with new ‘projects’ to work on. His main passion was muscle cars, which he took pride in restoring and sharing with his son, Mark. His other passion was cottage life, where he, along with his son, daughter and parents spent many years growing up together and making fond memories. He was a simple man, whose interests included: swimming, gardening, watching science and nature documentaries, felling trees, having very large bonfires, playing a good game of crib, Clint Eastwood films and enjoying nature.

Mike enjoyed the company of others and made friends everywhere he went. He will be sadly missed by his family, who knew and loved him dearly, and several friends he made throughout his life, including: Sharen, Anne, Claire, Roy, Bruce, Barry & family, and his other neighbors and friends. He is at peace now with his parents before him. We love you and miss you dad. We’ll meet again someday.

Love, Sarah & Mark xo www.barkerfh.com

But oh my, the tales and stories that have been resurrected have been many and uplifting! Thank you for sharing and for your kind words of sympathy. Clayton leaves behind three sons, Jamie, John and Bill, along with their families, two step-children, Julie and Peter Sadler and his long-time loving partner Doris.

FLOOD, Brian – In memory of a true friend, Brian Flood who passed away July 18, 2013.

I know because I’ve tried.

Great memories keep you near.

DON BRADLEY Time speeds on, six years have passed, Since death its gloom, it shadow cast; Within our home, where all seemed bright, And took from us a shining light.

We miss that light, and ever will, His vacant place there is none can fill; Down here we mourn, but not in vain, For up in heaven we will meet again.

Your loving family

ECHLIN, Tanya Elizabeth – In memory of Our Daughter, A Sister taken from our Lives 25 years ago July 17,1990.

IN MEMORIAM

WALKER – In loving memory of a very dear son, brother, uncle and great-uncle, Barry, who passed away so suddenly in a car accident on July 19, 1978.

Memories are treasures, no one can steal, Death is a heartache, nothing can heal.

It happened so suddenly and you were gone, But we will remember you Barry, no matter how long.

If you could have spoken before you died, These are the words you would have spoken; “I loved you until the last, Weep not for me, but courage take, And love one another for my sake.”

Sadly missed and forever remembered by Mom, sisters Marjorie and Merle, brothers Charlie, Harold, Tim and Randy, several nieces and nephews, also several great-nieces and nephews.

AINSWORTH – In memory of Josie Ainsworth who passed away July 15, 2013.

It’s hard to know just what to say, When one so young is taken away, Far too soon she had to part, Her memory forever engraved in our heart.

We only knew her for a short while, But the life she led made us smile, She was so beautiful and so rare, Life as they say just isn’t fair.

Those gone before her will watch her with care, Till the day comes when we’ll join her there.

Know Josie is watching from heaven above, And with each ray of sunshine, she is sending her love.

Remembered always, Uncle Paul, Aunt Sarah and cousin Cade

AINSWORTH, Josie – In loving memory of our daughter Josie Ainsworth who was taken from us much to soon July 15th 2013.

Your life was a blessing, Your memory a treasure, You are loved beyond words, And missed beyond measure.

Love you forever Mom and Dad

Looking back on 25 years of Stewart Park Festival in Perth On a hot steamy Friday evening in July 1991, after a wonderful barbecue and swim with friends and watching a short lightning storm dazzle us over the lake, my kids and I headed back into town where the 175th anniversary of Perth was kicking off. As I was a relatively recent resident, arriving in 1982, I didn’t feel part of the festivities, so, with thunderstorms looming we drove through town on Gore St., heading home. The humidity was high and there was almost fog in the air, it was so warm and, as we drove past town hall in Perth, I heard music coming from behind it and was able to catch a glimpse of sparkling white lights in the trees of Stewart Park so the kids and I quickly parked the van and walked in to see what was up.

That old rolling stage, which has since found a permanent home in the fairgrounds, had been rolled into the park and Fred Eaglesmith & the Flying Squirrels were performing. I went to speak to Wendy Laut who was part of the organizing committee with Marg Skinner beside the stage and offered to help. I ended up working the rest of the weekend getting bands on and off the stage and so, from then on I became the onsite co-ordinator for Stewart Park Festival.

It’s now 25 years later and I’ve been reflecting on the experience as I’m the last of the original crew who nurtured the festival along for so many years into the great festival its become. Still free, the incredibly scenic locale, growing from one to now three stages…really, the festival is something that has evolved into being a part of our family tradition. Our daughter Jodi, as a teen, organized face painting and volunteered for many years before moving away. Our son Adam has worked on the stage since he could carry equipment safely, (probably age 10), being mentored by our long-running sound engineer Al Torrance to the point Adam now works in this field, doing sound and light in Ottawa full- time. My son Lucas has been a volunteer backstage for years and has, for the past number of years been the backstage security, developing friendships with so many people in the community through this. My far better half, Susan, has helped forever, most recently organizing food for performers backstage for many years, having retired

from it last year.

Thinking back, the first thing that comes to mind is how grateful I am to live in such an amazing community where volunteers step up and make good things happen. Always organized by a few dedicated volunteers, the loosely defined board of directors meet and plan throughout the year as the nucleus. Each year, thankfully, swarms of volunteers sign up and, somehow, another year gets set up, performed and packed away, leaving only new friendships and memories.

There is a real spirit of collaboration, of enjoyment, of mutual support, of caring for others that abounds. I’ve met so many friends through this and watched others’ friendships blossom. Being involved brings such a positive vibe. There is no pay, we’re all volunteers who get a T-shirt for doing a couple of shifts but somehow, when it’s all over, you feel like you’ve really accomplished something as a team. Volunteers come back each year to do the jobs they’ve learned and “just do it”, stepping up and making it all somehow work.

It’s hard to believe, when strolling along the river running through majestic Stewart Park during the festival these days, how small it was in those first few years. From rolling the original stage in for a few years, it still scares me to think of them backing that same stage into the park, up on built up three foot high ramps to attempt to get a more level and visible stage. I remember the fateful night after just completing my closing of the mainstage on Saturday evening, finally enjoying a beer in the then new Fiddleheads – after hours and having my phone go off to tell me the mainstage canopy we’d put together, had collapsed from a torrential rainstorm. Several of us rushed over with many volunteers to salvage the gear, speakers and stage, hence us now having the current saddlestyle stage tent.

Popular Canadian children’s entertainer Fred Penner has been a past guest at the Stewart Park Festival.

What started as “those hippies” versus the town event, in organizing, Stewart Park Festival has blossomed via support of Perth’s Downtown BIA and now the town itself to be a supportive, working collaboration. The festival brings thousands to town each year, many who return again to enjoy other events or just the ambiance Perth offers. I know many who have come to the festival and ended up moving here, thanks to the spirit involved around the festival experience. It is wonderful to see and I feel proud for having helped make this yearly ‘friend-fest’ happen.

Case in point: While standing on Gore St, outside what’s now the Stone Cellar who had their front windows open, enjoying and After Hours show, finally relaxing after a hard day in the park, a concerned volunteer came up and asked if I was part of the organizing committee to which I said yes. He said there was a problem with accommodation that had been provided for Dave Gunning (he

didn’t appreciate the “stripper pole”) and, within five minutes, without even moving from my spot, another volunteer who I’d met two hours before and happened to be standing beside me, said he had a house and Gunning and band could stay there. The first volunteer, knowing how tired we were, asked to borrow my friend’s pickup keys, saying he’d move their gear in it...he’s now one of my best friends. That’s what it’s like.

People want to help.

Musical memories Since the beginning, my musical tastes have been expanded, my love of acoustic music has swelled and my admiration for musicians working so hard to ‘live the life’. These touring and road warrior musicians give up a lot to offer varying forms of culture throughout our country. One of the off shoots has been Sue and I wanting to share our love of musical styles with our community, so hosting our house concerts for the past

12 years, until recently, in our home.

Favourite musical moments are too many but Laura Smith bringing the large crowd to a listening silence on mainstage with her sweet voice, is certainly one. Seeing Serena Ryder early in her career, the multitude of Whiteley Family appearances, Kevin Welch, The Sojourners & C.R. Avery, the Prescott clan, Keith Glass with Russell deCarle, John P. Allen and Denis Keldie – all acoustic and joined by the late Willie P. Bennett were just some of those musical blips that come back. Also, to see local kids start on the Youth Showcase and later be playing as the skilled musicians they’ve become is always heartening for me. There are so many musically magic memories from the Wendy Laut Stage where jams by various players never cease to prove why this is such a special place throughout the weekend.

To see the workshop areas full with people, especially last year, thanks to Julie McIntyre’s organizing was pretty special as are the yearly model boats by the Rideau Nautical Modellers and their crowd being captivated. A park full of people having fun, it doesn’t get much better than that.

Watching the late great Jackie Washington engage with a four-year-old inquisitive little girl backstage as he delicately told her about his artificial leg while she knocked on it, is another sweet memory. Seeing groups of youthful musicians from different countries who don’t speak a common language, somehow, finding ways of communicating backstage with other presenters was wonderful. Witnessing over the years many seasoned, veteran singer/ songwriters carry their newspaper crosswords around to work on while waiting to go onstage. I can’t forget the late troubadour, John Allan Cameron who, after playing on mainstage in the hot sun in 2001, signed autographs for over an hour after. As he strode into the backstage an elderly couple informed him of a friend who used to host John Allan staying with her when he toured through in earlier times was now in the local hospital. I heard later John gathered up his guitar, went to the hospital and played for her for over an hour just See MUSINGS page 48

because that was the kind of person he was. I heard this later from a nurse, not from John Allan, though I shared a few bevvies with him late that same night.

There’s been some interesting moments too. I got an urgent call on my phone one year to go meet an anxious US visitor at the info booth, only to find out she’d dropped her cell phone and the only car keys she had down the hole in the port-apotty.

Thank goodness for small towns as we were able to get someone from a local car lot to help her with keys as the “fishing” didn’t work out.

Another time I was told one of the performers had “tossed their cookies” in a sink in the green room so, guess who had to go clean it up while they were up on stage, the troopers they were. Never a dull moment.

I’ve watched many festival organizers come and go over the years. What a wonderful group of crazy, zany people with incredible passion to see their respective planning and organizing through, spending countless hours throughout the year, being on their feet most of the weekend, seeing their dreams take shape for the benefit of thousands…the paycheck of zero but a satisfaction that’s priceless.

As the onsite co-ordinator, my role is to make sure things are ready at the festival’s beginning, but also to monitor and try to keep things moving along safely and in an organized fashion. In fact, I get to sit down very little to enjoy the music. On the week of, Monday sees the Wendy Laut Stage put up, Tuesday sees the tents start going up, Wednesday sees the loaned trailers, stage and other tents going up.

Thursday is where the rest; sound and light, backstage organization of the kitchen, equipment storage, etc., gets arranged so final details can be sorted out on Friday morning, all so we kick off on Friday afternoon on time.

Over the years, I’ve been blessed to have many volunteers who show up every year, have learned the ropes and just “get ‘er done” including some kids who were super to work with.

One guy started working backstage several years ago and started hanging around more and more, stepping up to do jobs that needed done.

He was eager, enthusiastic, friendly and became my friend.

In recent years he’s stepped up and willingly taken over more and more of my role, as well as building all the carts we now use. I had told the organizing board of directors I was stepping down at the end of this year, being honoured to have served for 25 years and am mighty proud and confident to pass over the reins to Peter Cochrane.

That said, when you put as much time as all us organizers have done over the years to make Stewart Park Festival as great as it is, you get to feel like it’s one of your children, watching it develop so, when stepping away, each year it gets a little more difficult.

The other person I wish to recognize is a gentleman who started parking cars backstage, became the volunteer co-coordinator and for the past few years has bravely and exquisitely taken on the chair of our board of directors. John McKenty has brought some structure to a zany bunch of “get ‘er done” folk who fight it. He’s spurred along encompassing ideas which expand our visibility, our co-operation with the community and even makes going to meetings fun.

From Wendy and Marg’s original conception twenty-five years ago in Perth’s beautiful park, Stewart Park Festival has grown to three stages, the quality of music has always been stellar, the expanding crafts and food areas offerings’ unique, the Kids Area always creative, community cooperation has increased, the crowds just keep growing and it is a festival now well known in music circles across the country and still free!

It’s been fun, its been aggravating at times but, thanks to all the volunteers who keep stepping up to take a lead on the board, to all those who show up every year to do their part, it’s been an incredible experience.

I leave my position confident this organization is in great hands, supported by volunteers who care. Perth certainly has something to be proud of. I hope to stay involved in some capacity as my “remember when” moments, like the history of any group is always necessary so hopefully I can continue to offer something. I look forward to taking in what this zany group have developed.

Thanks for the ride. Has been an unbelievable experience.

Support live music everywhere.

Local groups get online help

The Smiths Falls Lions Club, Crime Stoppers, many sprouting at least a few silver hairs and the Smiths Falls Police Community Liaison Officer, Constable David Murphy were doing training on Twitter Wednesday, July 8.

Shannon McLellan from On the Line Communications, a relatively new, parttime business in Smiths Falls offered her time to both organizations in order to teach them how to use, and be effective with Twitter. The next step for the two groups will be learning about Facebook.

The Best Western Colonel By Inn offered the use of their conference room to these organizations for their training session.

The purpose of all that training, with more to come, is for the Lions Club and Crime Stoppers to have a way to reach out to their communities. They have a few interesting projects on the horizon, and Facebook and Twitter will help them promote their various projects and spread the word about them.

The Smiths Falls and District Crime Stoppers encourages everyone to follow on Twitter @CrimeStoppersSF The Smiths Falls Lions welcome all followers @LionsClubSF Watch these two organizations do more to support their community and spread their information in a whole new manner.

In last week’s council briefs, the Canal Pursuit for Mental Health brief was incorrectly described as a walk. Clay Williams will be running the 750 km in support of mental health awareness.

Tea training offered at museum Join the Heritage House Museum in Smiths Falls on Saturday, July 25 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. for an afternoon workshop and tea by the gardens.

The museum is excited to announce that certified tea sommelier, Matthew Healy, will be leading an informative workshop about the fascinating world of tea. Healy is an instructor at Algonquin College and is currently completing a Master’s Degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management. Following the workshop, enjoy a delightful cup a tea by the gardens and indulge in a seasonal dessert.

Have you ever wondered how tea came to Canada? Or what certain types of tea are used for? Healy will answer these questions and cover a variety of topics during his workshop.

“Tea, next to water, is the most widely con-

sumed beverage in the world. It is intimately connected to the British Empire,” Healy explains, “Canadians are avid tea drinkers; about half of the country self-identifies as tea drinkers today. And, tea is a healthy and anti-oxidant rich beverage.” His workshop will teach about tea legends, different types of tea, cupping procedures, and more.

For more information about this special event or to reserve a space, call the museum at 613283-6311, e-mail heritagehouse@smithsfalls. ca, or visit www.smithsfalls.ca/heritagehouse.

The cost is $20 per person that includes a onehour certified tea sommelier led workshop, tea served by the gardens, and a seasonal dessert.

A spot must be reserved in advance as spaces are limited.

TOWN COUNCIL IN BRIEF Trucks purchased

Ted Joynt, superintendent of water and wastewater services informed councillors that the four trucks needed by various town departments have been purchased using fleet pricing from two local dealers. Two trucks will be coming from A&B Ford and two from GMC. Joynt noted the purchases come in under the $134,000 budgeted figure in this year’s budget.

Murphy building usage

Councillors are willing to take a chance and have asked staff to look at re-opening the Murphy Building in the park on a more regular basis so the public has use of washroom and changing facilities for beach users. Coun.

Dawn Quinn tabled the issue, saying the facility wasn’t open last Wednesday when 35 motorcyclists stopped by the park in town. Art Manhire, manager of community services said the first step will be to build up the traffic in the park so that opening a canteen in the Murphy Building would be a viable business option.

Previously, the town did send out an expression of interest to operate the canteen, but there was no documented interest. However, Quinn challenged this, saying she thought there was one interested business who came forward. Coun.

Lorraine Allen, with Coun. Jay Brennan’s support brought forward the need to address geese in the park as the toxic waste they leave behind is harmful to children who would use the park.

The issue will come back to committee.

Electric car charging station deferred

The Downtown Business Association and Smiths Falls and District Chamber of Commerce will be re-circulated with information about installing electric car charging stations to see if any of their members would be interested in taking on this potential tourism draw. Many felt it was not the town’s place to be in competition with business by installing a station themselves, but are keenly interested in the future tourism potential of such a service as those

Downtown design guidelines comes to council

Niki McKernan, town planner was pleased to receive approval by committee to bring a bylaw to a future council session that would create design guidelines for the downtown core.

“We don’t want to take a hammer approach,” she noted.

The guidelines would act as an overall vision and encouragement for good design when property owners are completing work on their buildings. It includes a mix of preservation of heritage features, the encouragement of infill with more modern but complimentary designs.

Other areas (such as Lombard Street) will have their own design guidelines in the future. These guidelines are only applicable where site plan control is enforced and won’t impact residential areas.

Municipal complex HVAC

Staff will be bringing a report back to committee with detailed information on the municipal complex’s heating and air conditioning system, as well as estimates for its replacement after the upper floor air conditioning system failed for two weeks this month.

“I believe we’re spending a fortune right now. To me, we’re just throwing money away,” Quinn said.

Mayor Shawn Pankow said he felt the replacement of complex windows will help address some of the concerns, but was open to the information coming forward. Any decision would be part of the 2016 budget process.

Chief Building Official

Council approved the hiring of a new Chief Building Official for the town at a special Council session held this week. Stephen Mailloux has been hired beginning next week. He will begin as an inspector until his examination results for CBO are in. During this time Ray Scissons and Dave Connelly will serve as the temporary CBO and the alternate respectively.

Niagara Falls team sweeps provincial lawn bowling competition in town Stacey Roy

to Ron Hughes and Toby Cassell, the club’s greens keepers.

“Toby and Ron seem to have a special bond with Mother Nature. The greens were the best,” Husband added of the entire event. “We are the winners and we are very proud. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of growth in membership and the sport of lawn bowling”.

sroy@perfprint.ca

The Niagara Falls team was named champion of the Provincial Women’s Triples Lawn Bowling tournament after an undefeated weekend on the Smiths Falls greens.

The District 6 team comprised of Marg Lepere, Sue Roth and Wendy Devonshire (gold medal winners) will be joined by silver medalist team: Kelly McKerihen, Laura Seed and Gloria Cheung (District 12) at the national Women’s Triples competition Aug. 16 to 22 at the Willowdale club in Toronto. Bronze winners were District 10: Cathy Larking, Pat Bylok and Janet Luke.

This is the first time the gold medal trio has played in a triples event together, but together they bring 68 combined years of lawn bowling experience and talent to the greens. That knowledge was evident in Smiths Falls last weekend when the ladies blew away the competition.

“It’s always good competition,” Roth said of the provincials.

Regardless, the women from Niagara Falls proactively put their plan of not giving up any big ends into action from the moment they stepped on the greens July 11.

Their first game against District 4 was a close one with just one point between the two teams, but it was enough for District 6 to move on. The next round had Niagara Falls face off against District 1 with a final score of 20-14. The team maintained this healthy gap against their opponents in the semi-final match against District 12B, which ended in a 16-11 score.

“We took control and played smart,” Lepere said.

“We played positions and made sure that we set up the game for ourselves,” added Devonshire.

Growing pains The club currently has 20 members, and is working with local groups to introduce the next generation of lawn bowler to the sport. Next Tuesday, July 21 the club will welcome youth from the Smiths Falls Library’s summer program for some games of barefoot bowling.

The Smiths Falls club is struggling to keep going with the modest membership numbers they have, and are hoping these events coupled with an invitation to the public to view the events free of charge

The championship team at the Provincial Women’s Triples tournament held at the Smiths Falls Lawn Bowling Club July 11-12. From left to right: Marg Lepere, Sue Roth and Wendy Devonshire of Niagara Falls will be representing the province in this year’s national event in Toronto this August.

Sunday morning’s gold medal match against Galetta (District 16) was District 6’s from the start despite strong effort from both sides. In the end, the score was 20-4 but not all 16 ends were played in this gold medal game.

This win is special for Lepere as it marks a provincial gold medal finish for her in every lawn bowling event.

“I wouldn’t do it any other way without my buddies, my friends,” Lepere said.

She and Devonshire have been playing for many years together, and are excited to add another championship to

“Hosting provincials was our answer for 2015,” Husband said.

Harriette Peterson, the club’s longest active member, had the honour of throwing the first bowl on the greens to open the tournament Saturday morning during the opening ceremonies. Peterson began lawn bowling at 22 years of age when a neighbour introduced her to the sport. She hasn’t looked back since.

“I like competing and I like the fresh air,” Peterson said.

Councillor Jay Brennan brought greetings from the town during the tournament’s opening ceremonies Saturday morning where he recognized the provincial lawn bowling event as on par in terms of prestige with the 2014 Tankard and the recent Golf Canada events both held in Smiths Falls.

Brooke Henderson will play in Toyota Danielle Downey Classic

Piper, Gordon Fife led the Smiths Falls Legion Branch 95 Colour Party and all 16 Provincial Women’s Triples lawn bowling teams down the centre of the greens July 11 to open the two-day event held at the Smiths Falls Lawn Bowling Club last weekend.

“I couldn’t be more proud of this club, the organizers and the job they’ve done to bring this event to our town,” Brennan said.

The club does have an option of hosting future provincial competitions should they vote in support of doing so.

Last weekend’s event has already provided a lasting legacy to the club in the form of eight new cedar benches that frame the greens. Smiths Falls Hyundai donated the funds to make this a reality, which not only helped in hosting this recent event, but will be a benefit for fu-

ture facility use.

“It’s giving it a face lift,” Husband said.

Ultimately, she would love to see all benches replaced with cedar wood.

Other upcoming events include District 16 Novice Special Day July 19 where novice players are matched up with more experienced members for a day of information sharing. Then on July 25 to 26 the club will host the Mixed Pairs District Play Downs.

The Symetra Tour, Road to the LPGA, confirmed on Monday, July 13, that 17-year-old Brooke Henderson will play in the 2015 Toyota Danielle Downey Classic. Henderson narrowly missed qualifying for the Marathon Classic by one stroke.

“Although I was hoping my 2-under 69 would qualify for the Marathon Classic, I’ve heard nothing but great things about Rochester and I’m excited to compete this week on the Symetra Tour at the Danielle Downey Classic,” said Henderson. “I enjoy playing alongside my sister, Brittany, and it’s nice that we get to do it just four hours from my home of Smiths Falls, Ontario.”

Henderson is coming off a tie for fifth at the U.S. Women’s Open on Sunday. She moved up 13 spots on the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings to No. 32. She also finished in a tie for fifth at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

The Smiths Falls, Ontario native has accumulated $458,866 as a nonmember in just eight LPGA Tour starts, the equivalent of 17th on the money list.

Henderson petitioned for Symetra Tour membership after winning the Four Winds Invitational as a non-

member and commissioner Mike Whan accepted. She has played in one event, the Island Resort Championship, as a member and finished solo third. Henderson finished in a tie for second at her first Symetra Tour tournament, the Florida’s Natural Charity Classic.

She currently ranks 49th on the Volvik Race for the Card money list.

“We have known about the possibility of Brooke and Brittany Henderson playing here for some time, but did not want to get the community excited or even rooting against any offsetting successes that they may have had in the U.S. Open or in Toledo,” said tournament chair Mike Vadala. “As a committee, we decided to do what was in the best interest of the players and to keep a low profile until we knew. That said, Brooke is the most exciting young player in golf this year, and her sister Brittany, who recently spent a summer in Rochester working at CCR, has also done well on the Symetra Tour (28th on Volvik Race for the Card money list). We are pleased and excited that these two fine young ladies will be part of our field. I know they will feel the support of Rochester’s huge golf fan base.”

The Henderson’s will be two of 13

Canadians competing in the 144-player field for a total tournament purse of $150,000. The winner will earn $22,500.

About the Symetra Tour The Symetra Tour, the official Road to the LPGA, is in its 35th competitive season in 2015. With the support of its umbrella sponsor, Symetra, the Tour’s mission is to prepare the world’s best young women professional golfers for a successful career on the LPGA Tour.

The top-10 money winners each season earn memberships on the LPGA Tour for the following season. With more than 600 alumnae moving on to the LPGA including 2014 RICOH Women’s British Open champion Mo Martin and current Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings No. 1 Inbee Park, former Symetra Tour players have won a total of 385 LPGA titles, including 46 major championships.

Symetra Tour events have contributed more than $5 million to charitable organizations throughout the nation since 1989. Follow the Symetra Tour on the web at www.SymetraTour.com, Facebook.com/RoadtotheLPGA,Twitter. com/Road2LPGA, and YouTube.com/ Road2LPGA. Submitted by Symetra Tour

Shawna Perkins, home financing specialist with Scotiabank presented Gary Dalgleish with a $2,000 corporate donation July 8 prior to the start of the Smiths Falls Special Olympics Golf Tournament.

Golfers aid Smiths Falls Special Olympics Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Supporters of the Smiths Falls Special Olympics group have raised $6,014.32 that will help local athletes continue to experience the thrill of sport and competition.

The funds were raised July 8 at the Special Olympics golf tournament held at the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club. The successful event returned to the community after a one-year absence thanks to the efforts of the Smiths Falls Kinsmen Club, the Smiths Falls Police Association and Special Olympics who teamed up to bring the event back.

“It’s too good a cause to let it go,” said Kinsmen, Gary Dalgleish.

Judy Jones, volunteer with Smiths Falls Special Olympics said the organization has 30 athletes involved in swimming and bowling. Last year, the organization took their athletes to bowling competitions in Kingston and Belleville, as well as a swim meet in Brockville.

“This kind of thing helps for busing,” Jones said.

It also helps purchase sport shirts for athletes,

which enhances the experience of play when competing. Having an opportunity to play outside the community presents a new challenge to athletes and encourages social opportunities as well.

Laurie Neal, Special Olympics volunteer, said she recalls seeing the delighted faces of Special Olympians as they competed at these away games last year.

“Some where so excited to go. They were so excited,” Neal emphasized.

That excitement was catching on the links last weekend where 59 golfers jumped in their carts for a day of fun for this fundraiser. Shawna Perkins, home financing advisor with Scotiabank started the day off well with a $2,000 donation to Smiths Falls Special Olympics.

“If we could all be as wonderful as Special Olympics,” remarked Perkins after making the donation on behalf of her company.

She has coached Special Olympians in swimming in the past, and has a special place in her heart for the organization.

Golf tournament organizers hope to build on this year’s event for next year, including potentially moving the event to another day.
