Provincial budget could impact town’s bottom line: mayor Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News - Mayor Dennis Staples and the Town of Smiths Falls are anxiously awaiting further details on a number of Ontario budget items that present a mixed bag of wins and losses for the community.

The most critical cut for the town will be the speeding up of Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding (OMPF) cuts for 2015. According to the Ministry of Finance website, the Town of Smiths Falls received approximately $3.7 million in OMPF funding in 2013.

The provincial budget, re-released July 14, 2014, states operating funding for municipalities in challenging fiscal circumstances will decrease a further $35 million across Ontario in 2015. This is a $10 million increase from what the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) was anticipating.

“The association is extremely surprised and disappointed with this move,” reads a statement on their website.

Mayor Staples hopes to receive detailed information on these cuts shortly if not at the upcoming AMO conference scheduled for mid-August in London this year.

“We will wait anxiously to find out how those cuts will affect communities receiving OMPF,” mayor Staples said.

AMO questions the province’s decision to decrease the OMPF so significantly when municipalities are still

unsure about the impact a new OPP billing system will have on them. This new system is scheduled to be announced in early 2015.

Beginning October 2014 municipalities like Smiths Falls who were recycling phase two material will no longer be reimbursed for this work.

“We will have to look at that” and how it fits into the town’s budget the mayor said.

Infrastructure funding With a little bad news came some good. The province has announced some substantial envelopes of funding for infrastructure. Specifically, $130 billion over 10 years for infrastructure investment. This would include federal Building Canada Fund matching dollars and other components such as transit. In this area they have announced $28.9 billion over 10 years for transit with $13.9 billion for projects outside the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). This translates into $1.6 billion of investment into transit outside the GTHA in 2014-15 alone.

The province also announced a permanent fund for roads and bridges. This work is being funded to the tune of $100 million annually and will be a mixture of application and formula based funding eventually transitioning to entirely formula based funding.

The province also committed to maintaining the uploading of social services.

Cleaning for a cause

Community – The Smiths Falls community came together to raise funds for the town’s beach project July 19 with a car wash at Krown on 15 Franklin St. Volunteers from Krown, Hanks Tire, Crime Stoppers and Roto Static were on hand to help cars sparkle and shine. Above, Sam Rawlings hoses off a car.

Construction won’t impede road access Stacey Roy

News - The town has committed to maintaining traffic control access in the areas of the Smiths Falls hospital site and Daniel Street while road work is taking place next month.

Local nurses embark on skydiving adventure to benefit Interval House July 27 Ashley Kulp

Amanda Hodgins of Almonte, left, and Carleton Place’s Kelsie Maynard, both nurses with Bayshore Home Health in Carleton Place, will share their first skydiving experience together July 27 at Mile High Parachuting in Arnprior. It will benefit Lanark County Interval House.

Quality Plus Roofing

Nadeau and Hodgins will be jumping tandem (with an instructor guiding them, controlling movements and pulling the parachutes) this Sunday, July 27 at Mile High Parachuting in Arnprior. They will be diving at 10,000 feet.

“It’s going to be neat to see what things look like from up there,” Hodgins noted.

Upon arrival, they will go through up to an hour of training to prepare them for their skydive, during which they will be wearing distinctive purple LCIH T-shirts.

Hodgins said they’ve been instructed not to eat anything three hours prior to the jump and to dress in hiking gear and wear running shoes.

Perhaps one of the most difficult guidelines will be the instruction to get a good sleep the night before.

“I probably won’t sleep at all!”

Maynard joked.

Community – Two local women are set to fly high this weekend and are taking Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) along for the ride.

Friends Amanda Hodgins and Kelsie Maynard, both dedicated nurses with Bayshore Home Health in Carleton Place, will share their first skydiving experience July 27.

Since they were going to be embarking on the adventure anyway, the duo decided to turn it into a fundraiser for LCIH, called Taking Flight with Wings of Courage, at the same time.

“We were going to jump on our birthdays, because they’re on the same day, but we couldn’t co-ordinate it, so we decided to do it later and thought, because we’re jumping out of a plane for no good reason, we might as well do it for something in the community,” Almonte resident Hodgins explained.

“We both have our bike licences and both wanted to skydive, so we decided to go for it,” added Carleton Place’s Maynard.

Familiar with the mandate of LCIH as their nursing service co-ordinator, Amy Nadeau, is the chair of the organization, the ladies decided it was where they’d like to direct funds. “…We’re both women and I have a daughter,” said Hodgins when asked why they chose LCIH. “The situations these women and children are faced with. They have no one to turn to and it can be really scary.”

Nadeau is pleased Hodgins and Maynard thought of LCIH but admitted she was a “little scared when two of my full-time nurses wanted to jump out of a plane.”

“I need them both and really like them,” she remarked.

“It takes courage to do what they’re doing and it also takes courage for women to have to leave unsafe situations. I think what they’re doing is amazing…we’re (LCIH) really grateful.”

With a goal of raising $500 each, members of the public can help out

Hodgins and Maynard by making their own donation online. A form has been set up at www.lcih.org/ taking-flight-with-wings-of-couragepledge-form/ for pledges. Funds will be directed to wherever they are needed most within the organization.

“In community health, 95 per cent of our staff are females, so it’s really nice to see the girls supporting Interval House. It’s women supporting women,” Nadeau said.

Both women admit they aren’t really adventurous, but have always wanted to try skydiving.

“We’ve been through quite a bit in our lives so we’re both at a point where it’s time for us,” Maynard stated.

“And hopefully the women in the shelter will be able to do that, too,” Hodgins added. “Just because you’ve had a (bad) hand dealt to you, doesn’t mean you can’t turn it around.”

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals Services marty.clement@ca.ey.com (613) 598-4894

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate.

All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

”

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Community hatcheries stock more than 13 million fish in Ontario in 2013 Community – The Community Hatchery Program (CHP) is providing greater funding than ever before to community hatcheries raising public fish for public waters in Ontario.

Some community hatcheries would find it challenging to remain operational without the support of a new funding partnership program between the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF).

The MNRF has committed $250,000 annually for three years to allow the OFAH to administer CHP, which allocates funding and provides techni-

cal support to community based fish culture and/or fish stocking programs.

CHP also assists community hatcheries to fulfill government requirements with respect to fish health, proper egg collection and the rearing and stocking of fish.

For most community hatchery volunteers, raising fish is their passion.

More than 1,400 dedicated volunteers donated nearly 70,000 hours operating community hatcheries in 2013. Raising fish is not only time consuming, but the high costs of energy bills, fish feed and equipment can make hatcheries very expensive to operate. This year, CHP provided $151,513 to 41 different

R0012808988_0724

community hatcheries in Ontario who stock about 13 million fish annually throughout the province. This is more than double the amount of funding that has been available to community hatcheries in the past.

“We have been very pleased to receive the much needed increase in funding from the Community Hatchery Program, which will allow us to continue operations and improve our stocking program,” explained Kit Brown, volunteer with the Lake Erie Salmon and Trout Club.

Community hatcheries stock fish that contribute to rehabilitation of fish populations and create fishing opportu-

nities for Ontario anglers. Many hatcheries double as a learning centre in their local communities by providing education on fish ecology and conservation for youth and the general public.

Community-based fish culture is built on a foundation of passion, dedication and genuine concern for resource management. Whether volunteers are raising Walleye, Lake Trout or Chinook Salmon, their commitment to raising and stocking fish can now be reinforced with greater funding and technical support through CHP. When you are out on the water this summer, think about the hard work and dedication of community hatchery volunteers

Beckwith Township Fire Department celebrates 50 years of service Aug. 9 Jeff Maguire

News – From a modest beginning in 1964 the Beckwith Township Fire Department has grown into the modern, well-equipped organization which currently protects residents of the growing municipality.

On Saturday Aug. 9 the fire department will celebrate a half-century of success. They are inviting the people of Beckwith Township to join them in marking this very special anniversary. A full day of activities begins with a pancake breakfast at the fire hall in Blacks Corners and concludes with an evening dance at the Beckwith Recreation Complex featuring Eddy and the Stingrays.

Bill McGonegal is just the fourth chief in the 50-year history of the fire department. He says all of the firefighters are looking forward to the anniversary activities.

“We all get along very well and we enjoy what we are doing,” he says. “If there is a secret to the success of the fire department it is trust. We trust each other and we always back each other up.”

It’s been a very successful recipe.

McGonegal observes that in 50 years of firefighting the Beckwith department has defied the odds. Although they are volunteers involved in one of the most dangerous occupations in the world, they have never suffered a death or serious injury while on duty.

“We are very proud of that,” he states.

McGonegal says the anniversary activities will give firefighters an opportunity to meet residents and outline the proud 50-year history of the organization.

Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd, whose father John was an original member of the fire department, says the organization has been and is a major unifying influence. “There are men from across the township on the department just as there was in the beginning.

“Their social activities, especially the Firemen’s Ball, brought people in general together,” the reeve adds.

“They are proud of the job they do.

And we (citizens) are proud of our fire department,” Kidd states.

The festivities on Aug. 9 begin with the pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the fire hall. The cost is $5 per person. The fire station is located on the 9th Concession of Beckwith, just east of the township municipal building at Blacks Corners.

Starting at 11 a.m. there will be an open house at the fire hall. It will run until 2 p.m. and includes a free barbecue, games for children along with a fire safety presentation.

McGonegal says the open house will give citizens an opportunity to see the addition to the fire hall and view the department’s vehicles and equipment.

Evening dance The big day concludes with dancing to the music of the always popular band Eddy and the Stingrays who feature 1950s and 1960s rock and roll.

That event will be held in the recreation

The Beckwith Township Fire Department will officially mark their 50th anniversary with a full day of activities on Aug. 9. The organization currently has 26 members. Pictured, in front of the department’s restored 1964 pumper (the original fire truck in the township) are, front row from left to right, Trevor Doraty, Captain Darwin Nolan, Captain Dave Scott, Deputy Chief Brent Lewis, Chief Bill McGonegal, Capcomplex at Beckwith Park from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Tickets are $15 per person and the doors open at 8 p.m. Charlie Kitts, a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame, will be the emcee for the event. Food will be available and there will be a draw for a cedar shed at 10 p.m. The shed is valued at $2,700 and tickets are $5 apiece or three for $10.

The shed was donated by Clearview Lumber Products.

Also in connection with the 50th anniversary the Carleton Place Civitan Club, a major supporter of the department, will hold a 50/50 draw. Contact the Beckwith Township office or the Beckwith Township Fire Department if you wish to purchase 50/50 tickets!

Three veteran members of the department recently sat down to speak to the newspaper and detail the distinguished 50 year history of firefighting in Beckwith Township.

McGonegal, the chief of department, has served for 41 years. Dave Scott, one of four current captains, has given 43 years of service to the township. The longest serving firefighter is Gary McEwen. He has been with the department since its inception in 1964.

“He (McEwen) can still handle a hose line with the best of them,” McGonegal says emphatically.

Prior to 1964 fire coverage in Beckwith Township was provided by the Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) from neighbouring Carleton Place. With its own municipality to provide for and the vast township (some 250 square ki-

lometres) it was an immense responsibility for the OWFC. In the early 1960s the Ontario government decreed that all municipalities in the province must provide their own firefighting.

At the time Beckwith featured a major agricultural component and a relatively small population.

But McGonegal says the council of the day, led by the late Reeve Stanley Brunton (he served for more than 30 years as the head of the municipality), did everything they could to help get the department started. In March 1964 a bylaw establishing the fire department was passed.

“Council has always been totally supportive of the fire department,” McGonegal stresses. “Richard (Kidd) and the current council give us everything we need,” he adds.

Fifty years ago the first moves were to purchase a fire truck and build a structure to house it.

The truck, a brand new Ford Model 800 with a 1,000 gallon tank, was purchased in the spring of 1964 and arrived in July. That fall the fire hall, a small structure with one bay, was built just west of the current facility. At first the department could equip only six firefighters with turnout (protective) gear. The 21 volunteers who comprised the first fire company shared the coats, boots and helmets.

Training was provided by the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office and gradually more equipment and additional vehicles

were purchased. As Kidd observed, the three veteran firefighters agree that the birth of the department created circumstances which saw men from every part of the township come together to work for a common cause for the first time in the history of the municipality. That has never changed.

In 1953 the township purchased a used tank truck which was in service until 1968 when a new, 1,800 gallon tanker was acquired.

Fire phones In the 1960s communications were a challenge. Four volunteers agreed to have fire phones installed in their homes which rang simultaneously when residents called the newly established emergency number to report an incident. McEwen says that in most cases firefighters’ wives or other family members alerted them to the call because the men were working in farm fields or at other jobs.

The fire phones were in place until 1977. Portable radios, including units installed in the trucks, were added many years after the department was established. In 1974 the first pagers were distributed to volunteers to supplement the fire phones. The pagers provided instant communications with every member.

The current high-tech paging system even allows firefighters to replay messages to make sure they have all the details provided by dispatchers.

After answering literally thousands of calls over the course of four or five

decades McEwen, Scott and McGonegal hesitate to talk about individual fires.

“Every fire means someone has suffered a loss,” the fire chief underlines.

“All calls are equal.”

McEwen notes that barn infernos, which were prevalent in what was once an agriculture-based community, were particularly difficult for firefighters.

“They are hard fires to fight. It’s sad to see farmers lose their animals and barns, something which happened many times over the years,” the 50-year veteran recalls.

“It is much easier to replace a building (barn) than the livestock.”

Scott and McEwen also recall “some good saves” when a rapid response to a serious fire either limited the damage to the structure involved or saved “the exposures” (buildings close to the fire scene).

Scott, himself a farmer in the township, says he can vividly recall tackling major structure fires, including barns and houses.

“It is the heat that gets to you, especially in the summer-time,” Scott observes. “At some fires I’ve had to splash water on myself just to try and cool off.”

He also remembers occurrences during which improvisation assisted the fire department. At a structure fire on a winter day, Scott asked the owner to use his snow blower to help smother the flames.

“It worked,” he smiles.

In the 1970s and `80s the fire department’s mandate (and workload) increased when they were required to respond to motor vehicle collisions and other medical calls. Soon more and better equipment for extricating crash victims was added to the arsenal.

“Today we can take a vehicle apart in just a few minutes,” McGonegal said while displaying some of the department’s up-to-date cutting tools.

Safety is the first consideration for the department.

“Today we wear breathing apparatus (air packs) all the time,” the chief explains, saying that limits exposure to harmful substances contained in smoke.

Beckwith is part of the Lanark County Mutual Aid Fire System under which the various departments come to each other’s assistance during serious fires or other emergencies.

“We can’t do without mutual aid. It is really important,” McGonegal underlines.

Safety message The department puts a major emphasis on public education visiting schools, talking to community groups and generally teaching people fire safety measures. The long-time firefighters say the message is clearly getting through.

“The kids (students) take the message home. The number of calls is way down from what it used to be,” McGonegal observes. “People today have home escape plans and they are more fire conscious.”

McEwen recalls a time when the See BECKWITH page 9

Shriners Hospital for Children makes miracles happen across the country to raise funds for the new Shriners Hospital in Montreal. Please see below for complete details.

Lifestyle – Ten-year-old Lauryn McBeth from Saskatchewan, was enjoying watching a movie with her mom Cheri, Sunday, June 1. McBeth’s bright eyes and shy smile don’t give away the fact she is sitting in halo traction. The goal, to realign her spine ahead of a Tuesday surgery, to fuse her C1 and C2 vertebrae.

Lauryn and Cheri had already been at the Shriners Hospital for Children-Canada in Montreal for a week and a half at that point and mom said the treatment they were receiving had been “Excellent,” even better then she expected.

The Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal is the second busiest hospital of the 22 Shriners’ hospitals, with close to 17,000 outpatient visits to the ambulatory care clinic in a year.

In the new hospital – currently under construction with a goal of opening in fall of 2015 – it is expected that number will jump to 25,000 visits. There is no room for expansion at the current site, which will be sold once the new facility is up and running.

While the current site was quiet on Sunday, June 1, when a tour was conducted, Emmanuelle Rondeau, communications and marketing manager for Shriners Hospital for Children explained, “This place is extremely busy during the week.” All surgery is performed during the week, which gives parents and staff, for the most part, the weekends off.

The lobby in the current facility is bright and open, as is the ambulatory care area. The physiotherapy room brought back memories for Karnak Shriner Mervyn Wood. His grand-daughter, now eight-years-old, was born with her head resting on her shoulder, it was also, “Round like a football.” When she was only five-months-old she was brought to the Shriners Hospital. Now, her head is “Perfectly straight,” and “It happened right in this room,” Wood said as he looked around at the equipment. There is also a therapy pool, with warm water to help with certain exercises.

Miss Canada International 2014 Alyssa MacLeod is also a past patient of the facility, Rondeau pointed out. Born with Cerebral Palsy, she underwent surgery and therapy and is not only a former patient, but also an Ambassador for the hospital.

With CP, Rondeau explained, there can be conflicting signals from the brain which affect movement. After surgery, she noted, some patients have to be taught how to walk again.

“It is a big trust factor, to learn

being undertaken, the children and their care are clearly put first and foremost.

For clinics, the hospital has the “Whole team,” in place, making it easier for children with multiple conditions, and their families to have the complete

scope of care in one location at one time, to have an open discussion on what the future holds.

After six weeks of intense physio, she said, a patient for the most part can walk out with a walker, or cane then continually improve as time goes on.

Conditions treated in Montreal include Spina Bifida, Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), with procedures undertaken such as botox injections (this is used in part as a pain management tool), prosthetics and orthotics, rhizotomy, Ilizarov and more. However the Montreal facility does not treat burns or spinal injury as some of the other hospitals in the network host those specialties.

“We deal with complex and chronic bone diseases. Everything to do with bones or skeleton,” Rondeau said.

In the Montreal facility they have identified three of 14 types of OI, as well as treatments, but no cure yet.

Treated like family For prosthetics, patients can also be provided with special prosthetics for swimming and horseback riding, so kids can be kids.

For conditions such as clubfoot, the Ponseti Method treatment is provided in Montreal.

Following serial casting for six weeks to avoid surgery, then bracing in special shoes, and

shoes with bar and finally a minor surgery are undertaken.

For the families, they don’t need to worry about some of the basics – such as transportation costs. These are covered for families coming to Montreal.

And they do, from locations across the country and the world.

Shriners will pick up children and their families at the airport, or train station, and bring them to the hospital. Taxi fare is also covered, as well as meals.

Always it is the families who make the decisions for care.

Where an amputation may be an option, for example, the parents must envision whether they want to go through multiple surgeries or opt for the amputation. Oftentimes parents will decide to go through multiple surgeries and then allow the child to make a decision on whether they want an amputation once they reach the young adult stage. Other times parents opt for amputation to avoid the trauma of multiple surgical procedures.

Mother Melanie, of Quebec, chose not to move forward with an amputation for her daughter Maya who was born with no fibula, a leg bone, on one side. Instead she chose to undergo multiple procedures. The mother and daughter are now supporting the Exceptional Care Odyssey, a tour

Your cottage, or any other vacation property for that matter, can be an important part of your family life – and you might want to leave it to your family.

But unless you’re passing assets to your spouse, when you die, you’re deemed to have disposed of all your capital assets at fair market value. If your cottage has appreciated in value, there could be a significant capital gains liability that could force your heirs to sell the cottage. These are some of the options you should consider to reduce the tax bite to your estate and your heirs: • Principal residence exemption (PRE) You are able to make a principal residence exemption claim on either your city home or your vacation property as long as you meet the requirements. If your vacation home increases in value more than your city home on a per year basis, the exemption might be better applied to that property. However, if you have bought and sold several city homes over the same number of years that you have owned your vacation property and

Manage Your Money applied the PRE on those city homes, you will not be able to shelter the entire gain on your cottage.

• Preserving the adjusted cost base Another option for minimizing the taxable capital gains is to ensure that all additions to the adjusted cost base (ACB) of the property are fully accounted for. The ACB is not increased by sweat equity, only out-of-pocket expenditures – so keep your receipts.

• Gifting during your lifetime Instead of leaving property to your children through your will, you can choose to transfer some or all of it to them during your lifetime – through the outright gift of the property or by making one or more of your children joint owners (with or without you as a joint owner). This option does have a downside because it may trigger an immediate capital gain and life insurance is not an option for paying this tax.

• Equalize your estate with insurance One good way to cover capital gains

and other estate debts – or to provide an equitable amount of money to your other children should you decide to leave your vacation home to just one child – is with permanent life insurance. The death benefit is usually tax-free and can provide a ready source of cash that could prevent the forced sale of assets – including your cottage – to pay taxes.

It’s a good idea to discuss your cottage tax issues with your legal and financial professional advisors to ensure they coordinate with all the other aspects of your financial and estate plan.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Hepatitis C: Know it, confront it, get tested DEAR EDITOR:

July 28 is World Hepatitis Day 2014. Canada’s slogan this year is “Know your status? Get tested.”

Many people with viral hepatitis have no obvious symptoms. In Canada, about one in five people with Hepatitis C do not know they have the virus. If left untreated, viral hepatitis can lead to severe damage to the liver.

The Canadian Liver Foundation recommends that all adults born between 1945 and 1975 consider being tested for Hepatitis C. As the Hepatitis C virus can be transmitted by any blood-to-blood contact and many adults are unaware of their own risk factors, widespread testing

can identify those who contracted Hepatitis C and have been living with it for many years. A simple blood test can determine if you have the virus and there are effective treatments. Your doctor may refer you to a specialist to discuss what is appropriate for you.

Check out the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit web site at http://www.healthunit.org/infectious/hepc.html for more information. You can also call the Health ACTION Line for more information at 1-800-660-5853.

COMMENTARY

Summertime blues?

Editorial – We’ve seen it all this summer in terms of weather: torrential downpours, wicked thunderstorms, a healthy dose of humidity and the scorching sun.

Despite all of this, there’s no reason not to get outside and explore Leeds-Grenville and Lanark County this summer.

It’s the perfect time to find out more about the unique events and features that are right in our own backyard. Fairs, festivals, you name it, these counties have it.

Just last weekend, the Almonte Fair marked its 156th anniversary with its three-day agricultural event, also on were Perth’s signature music celebration, the Stewart Park Festival, and the Carleton Place Canoe Club’s famous annual regatta. But there’s still plenty of excitement to come.

Up this Sunday, July 27 is the annual Ottawa Valley Midsummer Herbfest, at the Herb Garden, just outside of Almonte; Merrickville’s historic Canalfest hits Blockhouse Park over the August long weekend; and the Carleton Place Business Improvement Association is putting the finishing touches on the Bridge Street Bazaar, set to take over Aug. 2.

Don’t forget the Beckwith Fire Department marks 50 years with a celebratory breakfast and dance on Aug. 9, or the Pakenham Fair Aug. 16. Then, over Labour Day weekend, hit up two fairs: the 169th edition of the Perth Fair and the Lombardy Fair. Satisfy your sweet tooth with some cotton candy and your inner child with some midway rides.

With all of these events, no one can complain about having nothing to do. There’s no need to pack up the family and jet off to the great unknown, when there’s so much to see and do right here at home.

I was lamenting to Emerson that the horse flies even followed the cows into the barn. And I commented that once I started to milk I had to forgo chasing away the flies.

Emerson hung most of his body over the link fence. Not a muscle in his entire form was moving. He always went like that when he was thinking...sort of like being in a trance it was, I thought.

kitchen table, Emerson was in a corner with his pad of graph paper. No one paid any attention to him...this was the way he spent many an hour.

But the next day he took me into his confidence. I should have known better. The only time he ever confided in me about something as private as an invention was when he needed help.

He had been working in the drive shed for most of the morning. And when he came out he searched the barnyard to make sure no one was in sight. He had two long poles...cleaned off branches really, off the lowest part of the big maple in our front yard, and an armful of binder twine. He beckoned me to come with him behind the cow byre.

“If this works, I’ll make a fortune,” he said. “See if you can sidle up to that cow over there.”

Now, I know why I was taken into his confidence. Most of the cows were ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES MANAGER Andrea McMurtry 613-283-3182 x169 SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988

pets to me, and I had no trouble getting old Bossy to stand still. Emerson approached her rear end slowly with the two poles and the binder twine.

Bossy was swishing her tail like mad.

Emerson had to make two or three grabs before he got a hold of it. I was feeding hay into her mouth on Emerson’s orders.

He placed the two hefty limbs along each side of the tail and very quickly wrapped the binder twine around them because Bossy was beginning to wonder what was going on at her other end. When he had it secured, by wrapping some binder twine around her back legs, he dusted off his hands and said, “Now when she swishes her tail, it will reach farther and if my design is correct, she will kill the horse flies on contact.”

department answered scores of 100 calls annually. “We don’t have nearly the number of calls anymore.”

McGonegal credits “faster responses and better equipment” with limiting the damage when fire does occur.

In 1981 a much larger fire hall was constructed just down the 9th Line from the old facility. A recent addition added more bays for fire trucks. The department now has seven pieces of apparatus including a front line pumper, heavy rescue unit and two tank trucks.

The current complement is 26 men and McGonegal says younger volunteers “including a few 20 somethings” are part of the team.

As Kidd mentioned, at one time the fire department was also a centre of social activity in the formerly rural township. The first Firemen’s Ball (dinner-dance) was held in July 1965 and the venture was once an annual staple in the municipality. An eagerly anticipated event!

Today the Beckwith Township Fire Department focuses on training and preparedness.

Individual firefighters put in hundreds of hours of volunteer service.

Practices are held every Monday with training, truck and equipment maintenance

MARY From page 8

He added, he would only try it out on one cow to see how it worked.

Now, under ordinary circumstances nothing would have come of this exercise, and it would have gone the way of all Emerson’s inventions. But that evening Father was late coming in from the fields. We brought the cows inside in a hurry, and he went right at the milking. It was almost dark in the barn, as he positioned the stool at Bossy’s full udder. But you didn’t need much light to milk. Father was a scant foot from this weapon Bossy had attached to her tail.

The horse flies loved the dank heat of the barn and the place was buzzing.

Emerson was standing at the barn door, which now I realized was very fortunate for him.

Bossy’s tail was moving ever so slightly, and then one of the flies must have really done some damage, because that apparition Em-

taking up most of the time the men spend at the fire hall.

As mentioned the department has had four chiefs during its 50-year history. The first chief, the late Robert Brooks, served from 19641974. His successor, the late Arthur Nesbitt, headed the department from 1974-1990.

Dale Currie was the third chief serving from 19902003. McGonegal is in his 11th year as chief of department.

The current Deputy Chief is Brent Lewis and the captains are Scott, Dave Blackburn, Darwin Nolan and Shawn Powell. The remaining volunteers include Mitch Bourne, Rod Bowes, Dave Currie, Randy Currie, Ron Deschamps, Pat Donahue, Trevor Doraty, Brent Gardiner, Mike Hart, Ian Jackson, Dustin Lacelle, Dan Levesque, Joe Lewis, Mike McCann, Gary McEwen, Mark McNeely, Al Muus, Dave Parno, Dave Stevens and Blair White.

McGonegal says he and his fellow firefighters “are proud of the department’s 50 years of service to Beckwith Township residents.”

They urge citizens to take part in the anniversary activities on Aug. 9. Anyone seeking additional information is invited to email Beckwithfire@gmail.com or call the office at 613-257-1749.

erson had attached to her came around her rear end with a ‘why won’t ya’ and connected with the side of Father’s head with such a whack that it knocked him off the stool and sent the milk flying.

Father just sat there for several seconds trying to figure out what hit him.

Then he got up and slowly made his way towards Bossy’s tail.

He stood for the longest time looking at the two branches and the binder twine that he hadn’t noticed before. He let one roar out of him ordering Emerson to get in there at once. I turned to the door where Emerson had been standing.

All I saw was our barn cat licking her paws and lapping at the spilt milk.

Changes being proposed to nutrition information on food labels News – On July 14, the Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Health, launched a series of online public consultations on proposed changes that will improve the way nutrition information is presented on labels.

The proposed changes are to the format of the Nutrition Facts table, the list of ingredients, the list of nutrients that must appear in the table, and to the Daily Values.

It also includes changing how ingredients are listed, including grouping sugars together, so parents and consumers have a clearer picture of how much sugar is added to the food and the label is easier to read.

“Earlier this year, our gov-

ernment consulted with parents and consumers on ways to improve the way information is presented on food labels. Today, we are proposing changes to the nutrition information on food labels, based on what we heard.

These changes will make it easier to read and understand labels and help Canadians make healthy food choices for themselves and their families,” said Ambrose.

Finally, another key proposal is to provide guidelines to industry to make the serving sizes displayed in the Nutrition Facts table more consistent among similar products.

The overall goal of the proposed changes is to provide

Canadians with the nutrition information they need to make informed decisions about the foods they buy and prepare for themselves and their families.

“Dietitians of Canada is pleased Health Canada is planning to make improve-

ments to the nutrition label.

We will gladly take this opportunity to engage dietitians in the consultation process. Using consistent serving sizes on the food label and updating the percent Daily Value to reflect current Dietary Reference

Intakes are two changes that will support dietitians as they educate Canadians to make informed food choices,” said Janice Macdonald, director, communications, Dietitians of Canada.

These consultations are

part of a broader commitment made by federal government during the 2013 Speech from the Throne to consult with Canadians on how to improve the way nutrition information is presented on food labels.

The consultations will

run for 60 days, from July 14 to Sept. 11.

The proposed label changes reflect feedback received by Health Canada from parents and consumers during round table sessions and an online consultation in the winter 2014.

Challenges to purchasing a home as investment/for a child in school Lifestyle – Whether you are a firsttime buyer, renter or an existing homeowner looking to downsize or invest in an additional property, you’re bound to have questions.

From figuring out how much home you can afford to choosing the right neighbourhood for you and your family, real estate expert and president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, Phil Dorner is here to help.

Today’s question comes from homeowners who purchased a home both as an investment and to house a universi-

ty-aged daughter. The challenge facing the owners is that the home is located in London, where their daughter will be attending university and they live in the GTA. Q. Hi Phil. Our daughter is starting her second year of university in London this fall and we purchased a three-bedroom home there for her to live in while she attends school and as an investment.

Our son who entered Grade 12 this year has expressed interest in going to school there too so he may move in at some point.

In the meantime, our daughter has found two friends to live with and although it’s our daughter and her friends, since we have never been landlords before, we want to make sure we aren’t missing anything. Can you help?

A. A rental property can certainly be a valuable asset to your portfolio and in your case, one with some practical advantages. You are correct in thinking that despite the fact that it is your daughter and her friends who are your tenants that as a landlord in Ontario, you have certain responsibilities set out by

the Residential Tenancies Act. Make sure that you go through the act and understand your rights and responsibilities – this will help clear up any confusion over your role and duties as a landlord and those of your tenants.

Next, make sure that you get the right kind of insurance coverage – as long as your home complies with municipal bylaws, this shouldn’t be an issue. A really good thing to do as a novice landlord is to connect with experienced and successful landlords who can provide precedent for you.

As with any property, bear in mind that there will be upkeep costs and since students tend to live “exuberantly,” expect wear and tear. Luckily, since your daughter is one of your tenants, you can make sure that she is conscientious about who lives in the home and the way that they take care of it. Since you are not local, you will also need to ensure that repair and maintenance issues can be addressed so make sure that you have a plan in place.

SHRINERS From page 7

their finals, noted Leo Dryden of the Karnak Shriners, tour guide.

A special x-ray machine is also on premises, a standing 3D imaging system.

This system reduces exposure to radiation, and is also an extremely quick way to obtain the needed images. The machine itself is quite quiet, as compared to an MRI machine, noted Rondeau.

Treatments, care as well as life changing research happens under the auspices of the Montreal facility. The Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System, for treatment of OI and other bone issues, was founded with collaboration from the hospital’s Dr. Francois Fassier. In fact the doctor now travels around the world and trains surgeons in 60 countries where children are getting this technology, Rondeau explained.

Office spaces are small for doctors and staff, as mentioned before, there is no room to expand.

For patients as young as one month old, all the way to 21 years of age, there is a tub and shampoo room, spaces for parents which include a bed and dresser, there is a laundry facility, a television is included in each room and a phone for parents to use, “We cover everything,” noted Dryden.

“Everything is free,” he emphasized.

The facility also has a music room, family room and Internet is free.

There is one nurse for every three children. Each child brought from another hospital facility is monitored for 24 hours as, “There is no sickness here,” Dryden noted.

Le Parc, a playroom, is bright, featuring everything a child might delight in.

Even dolls whom have halos, braces.

“They look like toys, but they are more than toys for the children,” Dryden commented. The dolls are not just to play with, but also for children to relate to.

A special presentation by Rondeau highlighted some astounding numbers – 16,922 clinical consultations were conducted in 2013 “representing a 35 per cent increase over the last five years.”

There were 4,513 new referrals in 2013, “An increase of more than 10 per cent over the previous year.”

In 2013, 959 surgeries were performed, 250 outreach clinic appointments took place, there were 13 telemedicine consultations and more.

The presentation notes explained, “In planning the new hospital we are ensuring that it will be a true Shriners Hospital and will correspond to our vision, positioning and the needs of our future patients.”

The new facility will be more than 207,000 square feet with 22 single patient rooms, four operating rooms, 29,000 square feet of research space, 18,000 square feet of Ambulatory Care, 13,000 for rehabilitation services. “We are planning on an increase in surgeries,” Rondeau noted.

Fundraising campaign Part of the Exceptional Care for Exceptional Kids fundraising campaign for the new facility is to raise, “An endowment fund of $3 million is required for the creation of the Francis Glorieux Chair in Pediatric Musculoskeletal Research.”

New services the hospital will be able to offer, once construction is complete are a clinical investigations unit, an education centre as well as a surgical skills laboratory and movement analysis laboratory.

floors, six above ground and two underground each space will have a special theme, and child friendly ambiance.

The design of the hospital reflects the realities faced across Canada, she said.

Themes will include the St. Lawrence Valley, Prairies, the Great North, Atlantic Coast, a rink theme and more.

The plan is to open the new facility in late August 2015.

The new location comes with a price tag of $130 million. To raise those dollars the Exceptional Care for Exceptional Kids campaign was launched.

The Exceptional Care Odyssey began in St. John’s, Newfoundland, May 13. To take 66 days, stopping in 55 locations, 17,000 kilometres will be traversed. The tour stopped in Brockville at City Hall, June 10.

Already more than half of the goal has been raised.

According to information from the Shriners, the Odyssey involves not just hundreds of Shriners, but also 40 patients and their families, 17 Shrine Temples; eight parades, the Odyssey will journey into the United States.

Aside from raising those all-important dollars other key components of the mission, as mentioned are to raise awareness of “The hospital’s mission to provide specialized orthopaedic care to children,” as well as to showcase the Shriners fraternity, explained Gemma Bélanger, information officer, public relations for Shriners Hospitals for Children, to those gathered at City Hall in Brockville.

The Odyssey left from Brockville for Belleville that day, and will be heading through locations such as London, Winnipeg, Regina and on to British Columbia where it will finish its journey in Victoria. Along the way stickers are being sold to raise funds – turning the red exterior of the vehicle into a rash of white circular well wishes.

Most notes say “Good Luck,” while others are in support and encouragement of the hospital’s works.

There are 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children, “providing expert, specialized care to children under the age of 18 with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate. All services are provided at no charge.” The current Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal, was built in 1925.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held in October 2011 at the new site, with construction beginning in April 2013.

The new location is adjacent to the Montreal Children’s Hospital of the McGill University Health Centre, an adult hospital is also beside the new space, Cancer Centre and Research Institute. The location is right near a Metro train and Marla Dowdall/METROLAND bus terminal, bicycle paths are nearby.

Since this is a column of many quotations, here is one from the man himself, James Joyce. “Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.”

Joyce was not quite 60 when he died.

Ireland of course has so many outstanding writers. I would need multiple columns to provide even a snippet of information about the many outstanding authors, poets and journalists who have emerged from the small, island nation. Dublin alone is the birthplace of so many.

Reflections

rite libations (he was a heavy drinker). The Lincoln Inn’s main claim to fame is that Joyce first met his wife Nora Barnacle in the establishment on June 16, 1904. Their first meeting provided the date for the action in Ulysses. The details are painted on the front window of the Lincoln Inn which is clearly a major selling point for the pub.

Our waitress was a pleasant young lady who turned out to have the wit of a writer herself. Pointing to a wall plaque above a table, kitty corner from where the four of us were sitting, she said, “You should have sat over there!”

I went over to check out the small, bronze plaque. It reads “Bullshit Corner.” Evidently she was listening to our conversation!

On the final day of our Ireland visit we came across a statue of Joyce which is located on North Earl Street, just off busy O’Connell Street and not far from the River Liffey.

Kathleen and Wendy wanted their photo taken with the statue which was unveiled in 1990. It depicts a rather cocky looking Joyce leaning on his walking stick.

sights. Statues or other monuments to Dublin’s many writers, the best known and those with lesser resumes, are commonplace.

Parks and green spaces normally provide some respite from the hustle and bustle of lively, big cities.

In Dublin the only park you can lose yourself in is vast Phoenix Park which is well away from the centre.

In smaller, but very attractive St. Stephen’s Green, the Maguires and LeBlancs took a lunchtime stroll in the company of thousands of “new friends.” The benches, lawns and fountains were so crowded we would have had to line up to find a space to sit.

Still, we enjoyed the magnificent floral displays, the attractive water features along with several busts and statues of Irish notables, including James Joyce (1882-1941). Joyce, the Dublin born novelist and poet, is considered one of the most influential writers of the early 20th century. Perhaps his best known work is the modernist novel ‘Ulysses’ (circa 1922).

The following week, after returning to Dublin following a five-day tour of southern and western Ireland, we decided to walk some of the marvelous Georgian streets in the capital.

Along the way we took a detour through leafy Merrion Square Park where we stopped at one of the city’s most famous landmarks, a statue of writer/poet Oscar Wilde. The statue, in living colour no less, is

Lifestyle –“England and America are two countries separated by a common language.” – George Bernard Shaw I must admit that as a writer, Ireland is a nation I particularly enjoy visiting.

If only to tour the haunts of the country’s literary giants or pay homage at the many monuments to those esteemed individuals!

For such a small country Ireland has produced a host of outstanding writers. Something that is clearly disproportionate to its size. Ireland is just the 20th largest island in the world.

We spent two weeks there in June. If you ever go you will agree that it’s impossible to miss Ireland’s literary connection.

The signs are everywhere – literally. In Dublin, the bustling, hectic capital of the Irish Republic, quotations from the city’s wellknown poets, novelists and columnists adorn walls or are emblazoned on the outside and inside of public houses and restaurants.

And why not. They are brilliant.

The oldest pubs in Dublin (there are more than 1,000 public houses in the city) stake their reputations and their futures on the writers who once sat – or fell off – their bar stools.

Certainly alcohol has been the downfall of some of the greatest literary minds in history. Irish writers are no exception.

We spent five days in Dublin and on two of them we basically wandered around the very compact and extremely busy city centre, soaking up the atmosphere and seeing the

died in 1950 at age 94, George Bernard Shaw, who I quote at the beginning of this column, is the Irish-born author who intrigues me the most.

That is partly because of his many quotable quotes. I am also a big fan of Sir Winston Churchill. There are very few who can match Churchill for outstanding quotations. Shaw is one of them.

In Dublin last month I saw this quote by Shaw painted on the side of a pub. “Youth is a wonder-

ful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.�

There’s no question he was a highly intelligent man. Shaw is the only person to be awarded both a Nobel Prize (for literature in 1925) and an Oscar, for his work on the film version of his play ‘Pygmalion’ (1938).

I will end this week’s column with another famous, if misplaced, Shaw quote.

Although he knew something of the United States (some of his best barbs were aimed at

Americans) he clearly didn’t know much about the American national pastime, baseball.

Shaw, however, must have heard or read something about the exploits of a future Hall of Famer.

Evidently he didn’t quite process the information.

Because in the 1920s he famously asked, “Who is this Baby Ruth? And what does she do?�

In partnership with

Community – The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) conduct a variety of canoe/kayak and outdoor/ wilderness trips throughout the year, as part of their program focused on nature in Ontario’s Mississippi Valley. Having some persons trained in canoe safety and first aid as participants in these trips is essential.

To ensure there are people with up-to-date knowledge in canoe/safety and first aid, MVFN recently sponsored a full weekend of training for fifteen members who all became qualified help responders.

The first day of training was devoted to Canadian Red Cross Emergency First Aid CPR/AED Level A, and was held on July 12 at the Gatehouse, Mill of Kintail. Attendees received eight hours of training in such topics as responding to emergencies of all types, respiratory and cardiac arrest, CPR and how to use an AED (automated external defibrillator), caring for wounds, and managing situations until the arrival of

emergency responders.

The next day, the members took to the water at the beach in Almonte to learn how to respond to all sorts of water emergency situations.

Each team took turns capsizing into the Mississippi River and being rescued by another team. Skills learned included changing positions in a canoe, throwing a heaving line, assisting people in the water, canoe over canoe retrieval, and canoe towing. All received a two-hour on land session to discuss situations that included risk management, environmental hazards, hypo- and hyperthermia, emergency kits and legal requirements for canoes and kayaks.

Instructor for both sessions was Karen Hurd from the RA Canoe Camping Club of Ottawa. Karen has had years of training and leadership in long-term canoe treks and wilderness adventures. Her enthusiastic and professional approach to the topics was much appreciated. MVFN is fortunate to now have a cadre of trained members to accompany all

of their outdoor activities.

MVFN leader for this training was Sheldon Scrivens from Stittsville.

Sheldon is in charge of the MVFN canoe/kayak program. The next MVFN canoe/kayak outing is scheduled for July 27, 2014.

For full details of scheduled events, please visit MVFN’s website for the events calendar at http://mvfn.ca/ events/, and also recent posts and club information. Keep up to date via email notifications and support MVFN by becoming a member of this local charitable field naturalist group (a member of the Ontario Nature Network).

They Came From Away plays at Station Theatre July 26 Arts – Written and performed by Trevor McKinven, They Came From Away tells the story of four characters from the “class of Gander 2001” as they gather to reminisce about what happened when all air traffic was ordered to land on 9/11, 2001 in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland.

Gander had the airport facilities to accommodate the influx, but not the hotels/restaurants; so the townsfolk took the displaced passengers into their homes, gave them a place to rest a weary head, have a good home-cooked meal and a dose of old fashioned Newfoundland hospitality. The audience has a fly on the wall, front row seat for some of the tall tales that emerge when four of these “plane people” reunite and reflect on that week-long, international, slumber/kitchen party.

Johnny is your ‘old school’ Newfoundlander who invites his buds back for a “good ol’ fashion yarn.” He’s the quintessential “old school Newfie,” an ex-fisherman/bus driver who doesn’t suffer fools gladSubmitted photo ly and certainly won’t beat Trevor McKinven, above, will be at the Station Theatre onearound the bush! At 76 years young, he can’t wait to hear night only, this Saturday, July 26, bringing his play, They the impressions they left on the Came From Away, to the stage.

folks who “came from away.”

Giovanni is a flirtatious 32year-old Italian from Florence who loves Canada and tries (in broken Inglese) to point out surprising similarities between his Newfoundland hosts and Italians.

Sherry is a conservative woman from Georgia who, despite her nervous energy, will charm “y’all” with her southern twang and thankful nature.

Frankie is the consummate New Yorker, a city fireman, who hails from the Borough of Brooklyn and had a rough time dealing with what was happening to his city and the direct effect on his family and friends.

The thread that runs through all these characters, portrayed

by author Trevor McKinven, is how profoundly grateful they are to have been sent somewhere so special and how it truly saved their collective sanity at such a difficult time.

The generous Newfoundlanders did not care who or what you were that week. All that mattered was that they provided a good meal, a place to rest and a dash of fun-tastic Newfoundland hospitality.

The playwright, who has a fascination with different accents and body language, is from North Hatley, Quebec, and is a graduate of the University of Ottawa.

The Smiths Falls Community Theatre invites young and old to come out and enjoy a heart warming evening in its

delightfully air conditioned playhouse.

They Came From Away will be performed Saturday, July 26 only at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for students (with ID).

For online ticket sales, go to the Station Theatre website at smithsfallstheatre.com or phone 613-283-0300 (Visa/ Mastercard). In person, tickets can be purchased at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. E., Smiths Falls (cash only).

Tickets may also be purchased at the door of the Station Theatre at 53 Victoria Avenue (if available), a half-hour before performance. Cash only.

New times, agricultural events mark 148th Lombardy Fair Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Events - During the long weekend in August (Aug. 1-4) the Lombardy Fair will unleash a crew of traditional cowboys who will compete in extreme cowboy races for a chance to be the first Lombardy Fair cowboy champion.

The race begins Sunday afternoon at 12 noon inside the horse show ring and the anticipation is mounting.

“It’s suppose to be pretty awesome,” explained Jackie Bencic, fair advertising director.

Information from the Extreme Cowboy Association website (www.extremecowbodyassociation.com) describes this competition as one that challenges riders of all levels and ages to work with their horse through an obstacle course of rough terrain, bridges, water, etc. The concept was created by Craig Cameron in 2005 and has since grown into an association with EXCA chapters across America.

“Within the EXCA, the old cowboy traditions are still alive and well. Honesty, integrity, strong work ethic and the state of mind to never quit are a few beliefs that I built the EXCA around,” Cameron is quoted on his website as saying.

On Saturday at noon the ranch competition will take place in the horse show ring. Spectators can expect to see many ranch skills on display in this partially judged event, as well as the traditional penning and sorting skills.

Getting back and celebrating the joy of the rural way of life is exactly what the Lombardy Fair is all about. With this in mind, organizers have brought back the widely popular pig scramble from last year. The concept is children from

Experience

This year’s demolition derby kicks off the fair on Friday evening, Aug. 1 at 7:30 p.m. The fair is made possible thanks to generous sponsors like (at left) Dan Andress of Andress’ Your Independent Grocer who donated $2, 500 towards Saturday night’s entertainment. Judy Drummond, past fair president thanked Andress this week for his support.

toddlers to 14 year of age go into a pen where piglets are released and try to grab hold of one and bring it to a holding pen.

“It’s just a lot of fun,” Bencic added.

“Your belly hurts from laughing so hard.

You can’t help but laugh.”

Audiences looking for the demolition derby will want to get to the park on Friday evening when the smashing and crashing will start at 7:30 p.m. The four-day event is full of old favourites and new things to see and do. Bencic confirmed the fair board is negotiating to bring in a new midway this year.

For those wishing for a more passive fair experience, head down to the grand stand where performances by 3’s a Crowd (Friday, 9 p.m.), Henry Norwood Band (Saturday, 6:30-8:30 p.m.), and Blackwell Band (Saturday 9 p.m. 12 a.m.) will pack the stands.

“We have an awesome grandstand line up this year,” Bencic remarked.

A free bus shuttle from Smiths Falls to the fairgrounds will be running to accommodate the music loving crowd that is expected. You can pick up this free ride at 6:45 p.m. from Healey’s Transportation Ltd. office (10 Gile Street) or at the County Fair Mall on Brockville Street. Buses will be returning to town at 11 p.m.

Volunteers, especially students needing their 40 hours, are always welcome for set up and preparation the week prior to the fair. For information on how to apply please log on to www.lasfair.ca.

These new additions to the Lombardy Fair are a glimpse into the excitement of the 2016 event when the fair will mark 150 years in the community. Bencic said preliminary plans are already underway for this special anniversary year.

“We’re trying to make our 150th one to remember,” she said.

“There will be access for emergency services,” Bernicky added. “Every effort will be made by the town to coordinate with existing businesses.”

The goal is to ensure customers can continue to access local businesses during the construction period.

This project is part of the town’s Asset Management Plan. Tenders for the project were opened July 17 with four bids received ranging from $337, 000 to $305, 000. All bids were compliant.

Hotel Rideau to host open house Aug. 21 Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Business - Smiths Falls’ questions surrounding work taking place at the Hotel Rideau will be answered in August when Marc Gravelle, owner/ developer hosts a public open house.

The open house will take place Thursday, Aug. 21 (times to be confirmed) when tours of the ground floor will be available as will some snacks and access to all partners in the project.

“It is going to be great,” Jenn Aunger of Pauline Aunger Real Estate said of the project.

The local realtor is presently handling all presales of the 18-unit condo development and welcomes calls to 613-283-6666 from anyone interested to learn more. Details on the units are also available on the MLS site (www.realtor.ca).

Gravelle hopes the open house will encourage Smiths Falls residents to share their ideas and comments with those involved in the redevelopment project. To that end, he is having his website (www.hotelrideau.ca) completely revamped with the hope of re-launching it to the public this August.

“We’re hoping to add video at some point so we can do a virtual walk through,” Gravelle explains.

The website will have a section dedicated to the condo sales as well as a section speaking to the historical significance of the site. Charles O’Reilly built the hotel in 1901.

Once the 18 condo units are sold, Gravelle hopes the website will then become a place where Hotel Rideau supporters continue to gather to share ideas and plan fundraisers for the building.

“It takes money to preserve things,” Gravelle said.

His vision is to have a caretaking organization established to host fundraisers and ensure none of the historically significant elements of the building fall into disrepair again.

Some residents have been concerned following a period of inactivity at the Hotel Rideau this past

year. A statement from the Hotel Rideau group regarding this pause reads as follows: “Due to unforeseen legal issues we are proud to announce that Mr. Gravelle is now the sole lead on the project.”

Since this time, Gravelle has enlisted the help of local realtor, Pauline Aunger and architect firm A. Dagenais & Associates out of Ottawa. Plans continue to call for 18 condo units being developed above, a roof top terrace and five commercial spaces on the ground floor.

Progress has now extended across the road. An agreement signed July 11, 2014 with the owner of the former Salvation Army building on William Street will allow for space to house a work place safety office during construction at the former hotel, as well as a real estate representative complete with sample materials for condo units. Once the Hotel Rideau is fully occupied that site will then be used for parking.

“Everybody that buys a condo will now have parking,” Gravelle confirmed.

Work at the site will become more visible very shortly with clean up inside wrapping up. Next steps are to remove the blue facade off the building (they are looking at using white and green on the facade) to reveal the original face and clean up the property around the building. Gravelle said residents can expect to see construction fencing go up soon.

“It’s full steam ahead as they say,” he remarked during a recent interview with the Record News.

He makes this solemn promise to Smiths Falls “The building will not be transformed. The history will remain but better.”

Architecturally, Gravelle is partnering with Algonquin College to rebuild the area where the horse and buggies would drop guests off; restore some brick work and preserve the historic stairs.

One idea to merge the new and old includes the unique stairs. Gravelle plans to restore them with stained glass, but add a twist by installing an elevator in the centre of the curved staircase.

Aug. 8 spiritual medium fundraiser to support Legion elevator fund Stacey Roy

Rice has been connecting others with the spiritual world since she realized she had the gift at age 12. Rice was lucky to be the fourth generation medium in her family, which gave her access to lots of support from her mother, grandmother and great grandmother while she was learning to harness her abilities.

“It’s just been something that was very normal for our household,” Rice recalls. “We would wake up first thing in the morning and we would talk about our dreams.”

Every individual has their own way of listening to the spiritual world and Rice admits the messages that come through can trigger many emotions in those she reads for and for herself. The hardest sessions are those involving children and their parents.

Rice knows the pain of losing a child.

Tickets are on sale now at the legion. raised $26,000 for the cause, but they have a long way to go before local veterans can move between the floors with ease.

Rice has long been a supporter of the Legion having a son who is nearing his 20th anniversary of service with the Canadian Forces.

“I’m excited at the opportunity to help the Legion,” Rice said.

Events – The Legion’s ongoing efforts to raise funds for an elevator in their building will be elevated to new heights Aug. 8 when the 1000 Islands Medium sets up for a group reading experience you will have to see to believe.

“You won’t be disappointed,” promises Debra Rice also known as 1000 Islands Medium.

Rice will be channeling those spirits who wish to step forward that night, but adds some messages that come through have an application for more than one person. According to her website, Rice can read using your presence in the room or with aids such as photographs or a special item.

Tickets for this evening are $30 (in advance) or $60 for VIP tickets. VIP guests will have a private session from 9-11 p.m. that evening.

“I will make sure each one of those people will have a message of some sort before they leave,” Rice confirmed.

Tickets can be picked up at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion office – 7 Main St. E. or guests can take their chances and pick up a ticket at the door for $45. All funds from this evening will go towards the Legion’s efforts to install a two-floor elevator into the building.

“That is something that we have to do,” said Keith Anderson, Legion president.

Her 16-year old daughter died in a car accident while Rice barely escaped with her life. At the time the experience was extremely painful for Rice, but she found some solace in those early days.

“I was comforted by the fact I was with her when she passed,” Rice added.

“She basically saved my life.”

This incident also gave Rice first-hand knowledge of what death must be like.

She remembers an intense light and floating away from her body.

“The only thing I could feel was extraordinary love that we will never feel on this earth,” Rice added. “I just wanted to be there forever.”

Flying Officer Arthur Allen Dixon was hit by flak during the Leverkusen attack and broke up in mid-air.

The larger separate parts fell at Leverkusen-Kueppersteg, but small parts were scattered over a wide area.

There was a 30 pound incendiary base with the seam split about six inches from the base upwards and with all the fillings gone, and seems to indicate that this was caused as the result of an explosion, rather than impact.

News - The following information came from a public meeting, special Committee of the Whole meeting and regular Council meeting held Monday, July 21, 2014.

COW to review Bellamy Farms changes

Bill Holzman, planning consultant for Bellamy Farms appeared before a public meeting July 21 to ask for four blocks of townhomes to be allowed in the Residential Type 6 zoning area of the subdivision, and for the height of the two proposed condo buildings to go from 11 metres to 12.5 metres. It was explained the condo will still be three floors. It is the roof peak that lifts the height above 11 metres.

“It does provide flexibility as the market evolves,” Holzman said of the townhome addition.

One resident in attendance was concerned with the height of the buildings. Nicole McKernan, planner confirmed this will be managed in Site Plan Control and will not be unlike the planned townhomes anticipated for the land across the street from Bellamy Farms.

This item will be coming to next week’s Committee of the Whole meeting where a staff report will be presented and discussed.

Council approved amendments to the 2003 taxi bylaw that brings it in line with the Accessibility Act requirements. These changes include: stating no one with a disability will be charged more than someone without a disability nor will they be charged extra to store their mobility aids. The taxi driver’s licence, name and registration number will now be available in accessible format (braille, voice, etc); and there is to be identification on the rear bumper of the vehicles. The town is in contact with the lone taxi firm to communicate these changes.

Gazebo removal approved

Council corrected a 10 year-old error this week when it approved a $12,200 removal cost of a gazebo at 36 Maple Avenue and a further $780 for driveway removal. The permit to build the gazebo was given in error a decade ago. The town has since put controls in place so such an error can’t happen again.

Ron Holman aims to stay on during ‘critical time’ for township Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News - The ongoing road upgrades and upcoming OPP contract changes are discussions incumbent mayor, Ron Holman wants to be around to have.

The new OPP costing formula anticipated to be released in January 2015 has Holman wondering what this will mean for his township.

“This can have significant cost impacts for all municipalities across Ontario,” Holman said.

Policing costs are the largest budget item for the rural community, accounting for $1.6 million annually. Holman is pleased to be part of the OPP costing discussion locally and in the upper tiers as a sitting member of Association Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA).

Providing such emergency services to the community isn’t an option and nei-

ther, according to Holman, is continuing on the township’s goal of having roughly 70 per cent of township roads paved.

Currently, about 56 per cent of the roads have been done and 20 kms are on the docket to be done this calendar year.

“We’re taking a bite off every year,” Holman added. “I don’t consider it spending I consider it investing.”

The township has taken on debt to complete this work, but Holman insists it is managed and worthwhile. He adds Rideau Lakes Township has one of the lowest tax rates in Leeds-Grenville. To the veteran politician, this work will not only save on maintenance costs in the future, but makes it easier for emergency services to access residential homes. In a community that estimates over 50 per cent of its population will be over the age of 65 in five years this is critical.

That said Holman has tried to keep a dual focus in his service to the community over the years between meeting

the needs of seniors and the youth while keeping the tax rate in check. Since 2000 he has been proud to help bring about Hannah Park, soccer in Kin Park, North Crosby hall, introduce garbage pick-up through the township, Elgin Municipal Complex and over 130 km of road to name a few.

“It’s helped build our community into a user friendly community,” Holman said.

He is very proud of the 12-unit affordable housing project in Elgin (built with the help of a grant) as it speaks to a real need in the community.

“I hope we can expand that in the next four year term,” Holman said.

Looking forward to future projects, the incumbent mayor is focused on ob-

taining as many grants as possible. This includes the repair work on Portland’s docks. Holman stated the township has spent $200,000 ($100,000 from grants) on the docks at Newboro.

“Now we will focus on Portland to see what is needed there,” Holman said.

Another future project is the completion of a countywide official plan and the possibility of having to adjust the township’s official plan to fall in line with this broader document.

Holman has been involved in local politics (with the exception of three years) since 1980. In those early years he served on the council of the former Township of South Elmsley before amalgamation.

Ron Holman, who is the mayoral incumbent in Rideau Lakes hopes voters will help him finish some key projects for the community by voting for him this fall.

Safety Tips

Candles: If you use candles, make sure you keep them away from all combustible materials. Never leave them unattended and place them out of reach of young children. Candles should be placed in solid, secure candle holders and protected by a glass chimney.

OPINION

Stem the slaughter of the innocents

Editorial – A pro-Russian solider, gun strapped to his side, in a field of sunflowers, holds aloft a child’s stuffed toy.

Innocence meets aggression.

In the same field, scattered across a swath of eastern Ukraine, where bodies, luggage and airplane parts fell to earth, were other signs of the 80 children who perished when a missile shot down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 last week, killing a total of 298: a Dutch children’s book, a note in childish handwriting thanking the stewardess for a lovely meal, animated character backpacks.

A world away, far from the bleak fields, in the teeming urban mass of humanity that is the Gaza Strip, parents pick through the rubble, the carnage of nearly two weeks of bombardments, looking for their children’s bodies.

There, we can still images of four little boys running on the beach, running away from Israeli shells, seconds before they too would be young victims in these attacks.

As of this writing, 585 Palestinians have been killed, as have 29 Israelis.

All the world can do is look on and watch in horror.

Britain’s Independent on Sunday led its coverage with a photo of bodies being pulled from Gazan debris and a Ukrainian field. Australia’s Sunday Telegraph showed a front page photo gallery of young Australian victims, one a little girl picking flowers, with the headline “They Were Just Kids”...beside a small teaser of Prince George’s first birthday.

And on the front page of the Turkish daily Takvim, a man, his face a mask of shock, grief, and urgent despair, races through the streets of Gaza with a tiny, possibly lifeless body in his arms.

The world weeps.

But the machinations of defence and diplomacy and realpolitik grind on.

In the Middle East, Israel will not stop its bombardment until the Hamas tunnels are destroyed, and the missiles targeting civilians stop flying. In the Gaza Strip, Hamas won’t stop its missile attacks until the seven-year blockade ends.

Neither side can afford to lose face, and the Israelis know that they cannot unilaterally cease their fire – because the rockets will still keep coming.

No matter how this ends, it won’t end well, and many more widows, orphans, and grieving people will surely be created.

In Russia, no amount of sanctions will stop President Vladimir Putin from trying to get his hands on eastern Ukraine. No amount of sanctions have yet stopped Putin.

Cancelling the G8 did nothing to stop him.

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said this week that Canada will not stand to see Russian troops in the Ukraine.

But they are already there – and they are also still in South Ossetia, the Georgian enclave that was a dress rehearsal of sorts, in 2008, for the later adventures in Crimea. He’s done it before, he’ll do it again.

While U.S. President Barack Obama is rightly incredulous at the lack of serious cooperation at the plane crash site, asking “What are they trying to hide?” we also need to remember that this has happened to America before, when the USS Vincennes downed an Iranian passenger jet over the Persian Gulf in the late 80s, filled with pilgrims on their way to the hajj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. (Russia also shot down a South Korean jumbo jet in 1983 which had accidentally veered into its airspace.)

For all of the righteous indignation, and appropriate moral anger directed at all sides here, ultimately, only diplomacy will work in the Middle East, and a military solution needed in the Ukraine, the only language Putin seems to understand.

It sounds like a cop out, yes, but the sooner this arrives, the closer we will get to a world where children are safe to play on Palestinian beaches, and safely fly to an exotic trip with their families over the Ukraine.

Alaska is worth the price of admission

Lifestyle - Mom and I went on an adventure last week. It was one of those things that if I didn’t do it by the time I turned 50 (which was earlier this year) I will never do it. Mom thought it was a great idea at the time.

Visiting Alaska has been on my bucket list for about 15 years.

Friends told me it would be life changing.

I thought they meant the visiting Alaska part would be life changing.

It was, I admit, spectacular, and I found myself being mesmerized by the tranquil, untouched scenery that we saw while cruising about the Inside Passage from Vancouver to the Hubbard Glacier and back again.

The life-changing part was more about home.

I missed the people I love… my family, my friends, my colleagues, and most of all, my guy, and that was the life-changing part. I will love, honour and respect those who were left in Ontario as we went traipsing off into the last frontier. Those who looked after our homes, our cats, our yards, picked up the mail in our absence and those who sent us text messages and wondered how we were doing, where we were, if we were safe, coming home, or what

LAURIE WEIR Weir View exactly was going on.

Another thing that was life-changing for me was realizing that I enjoy a good vacation, but one where I have more control over my own destination. There is nothing like a road trip with my camera and my partner in crime, to a place unknown, which we discover along the way. I’d rather drive in my own vehicle and stop whenever and wherever, and for however long I choose. I like that option way more than being ushered through an airport at warp speed, herded like sheep down a gangway, along with 2,000 other people who are all clamoring to get those free earrings they were promised at two separate hour-long seminars on the ship. Good Lord. Free? Who said ‘Free’? Apparently, that’s the way to get unsuspecting tourists into the jewelry stores where they proceed to drop

hundreds if not thousands of dollars on precious gems and diamonds to accent the wardrobe (sales pitch).

Being elbow to kneecaps with coughing, sneezing, wheezing, grunting, rude, arrogant, people from all walks of life is not my idea of a good time.

Despite all that, the countryside was spectacular. Seeing the Rocky Mountains from 40,000 feet was pretty awesome, considering I’ve never seen them from ground level.

Other awe-inspiring moments were vast and all-encompassing. Like the first time we saw a whale – breathtaking. To see five of them at once was even more incredible. Visiting a fish cannery was kind of neat, and seeing the Clan of the Beaver doing their tribal dancing – and joining in on the fun, was an emotional experience for all sitting around the cedar cabin. Finding a waterfall in Juneau along a little brook where the salmon were jumping was something you have to experience. We even panned for gold – and came up short, but that wasn’t important.

Tourism, not fishing or lumbering, is their main means of business. In ports of call like See COLUMN page SF9

Juneau and Ketchican where we were stopped for hours at a time, the madein-China trinkets splashed with ‘Alaska’ made you wonder if anything was authentic. You didn’t have to look far though, to find arts and crafts created by the Natives. You just had to look a little harder.

Learning about the land and its people and snapping pictures like a mad tourist, was worth the headaches of travelling by air, bus and ship, dealing with the other crazy tourists from around the world and even dousing myself in Purel at every turn.

Being in Alaska was definitely a life-changing experience for me… one that is filled with fond memories and treasured photographs that we can look back on for years to come.

And yes, I was the typical tourist. I did get a sparkly tanzanite ring… and free earrings, which I dropped in the sink on the ship and they are probably at the bottom of the ocean by now.

But all that was worth the price of admission. Especially the coming home part.

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!

ANNIVERSARY

A wee lad from Drummond, his name it was Murray Despite his short legs - oh could he hurry He searched Drummond far, and he searched Drummond wide But not anywhere could he find one for his bride So he started his trek down Old Number Seven At a dance in Innisville he thought he’d found heaven With his left eye squeezed shut, and a twinkle in his right He grabbed a young blonde and they danced for the night With the Scotch Corners teacher tight in his arms He tried to impress her with plans for his farms It wasn’t too long ‘til he proposed to his wife She jumped at the chance to be his for life At the altar they met on the 31st of July At St. John’s in Innisville, not a cloud in the sky They promised to love, in good times and in bad He was pleased with his pick, this little farm lad!

It’s sixty years later, and time how it flies!

A life time of love in the blink of any eye They don’t want a big party - but don’t leave them alone!

They would love a card, or a visit, or a call on the phone

You’re the one thing in my life, I can count on to be real.

We’ve had our ups and downs, But whenever we’re apart, I still get an empty feeling, Deep inside my heart, We’ve stood the test of time We’ve walked the narrow road, And at the end of every day It’s you I want to hold.

I’m proud to be your wife I’m proud to be your friend And if given the choice I’d do it all again From your loving wife, Tammy ENGAGEMENT

From the offers of help and the wonderful hot meals waiting for us when we came in from the barn to the prayers, cards, and emails filled with hope and good thoughts, we are so very appreciative.

We would like to express our heartfelt thank you to the staff of the Stroke Unit at Kingston General Hospital and St. Mary’s of the Lake for the excellent care provided.

We are confident that Joy will continue an amazing recovery with a helping hand provided by her strong faith in the Lord and continued support of family and friends.

The family of Frances Beattie would like to thank the staff of Lanark Lodge, where Frances lived for the past two years before passing away on 16 July 2014. We are happy and grateful that Mom was able to spend her final years at a place where she was surrounded by gentle, caring, and competent people who became her friends. When she was in the last stages of her illness, she was able to stay in her own room in familiar surroundings with familiar people instead of going to hospital, which was a great comfort to her. We knew that we could depend on Mom having first-class care at Lanark Lodge from every staff member, and we thank you all most sincerely.

BEATTIE

Frances (Caldwell)

Born in Ottawa, Frances died in Perth on 16 July 2014 in her 100th year. She was predeceased by husband Norman and son John (“Jock”), sister Catherine Parrish, and brother Donald Caldwell, and is survived by son Donald (Shari) and granddaughter Sandra (Ken Macdonald). As a small girl Frances always wanted to be a secretary, and her father gave her a typewriter at a tender age. The typewriter was a good investment because Frances took first place among 4500 entrants in the federal civil service stenography competition.

After the birth of her first son Donald, she became a homemaker. Although shy by nature, she was renowned for her role as Lily the Felon’s Daughter in a one-act play at Beaurepaire United Church, where she was organist and choir director. She was also a first-rate pianist and piano teacher.

She never recovered from the death of her second son Jock at age 20. In later years she travelled to many countries with Norman and their friends. Her enthusiasm for wine, chocolate, animals, and good grammar were widely known. In her last two years she lived at Lanark Lodge among gentle and caring staff, where she passed peacefully with Shari and Donald at her side, and her beloved Chopin playing in the background. Frances requested that there be no service, firmly refusing offers of a marching band. If desired, donations in her memory may be made to the Lanark Animal Welfare Society or to Lanark Lodge.

IN MEMORIAM

POLK – In memory of Nancy Charlotte Polk (née Hutcheson) March 5, 1954 – July 28, 2002.

Lately, we seem to have it all, there’s no reason to feel blue.

With health, love and happiness, we have everything, except you.

We do birthday parties and pool time, holidays gatherings, dinners and drinks.

But our togetherness will never feel whole, because we’re missing our most important link.

The woman who made it all happen; a sister, aunt, cousin, friend and wife.

But your best role was that of a mother; one that was always so full of life.

We try and live out your legacy: Work hard, have fun and put love into all that we do.

You were the truest example your family could ask for; It’s impossible to understand why we don’t have you.

Your three grown kids miss you every day.

And you have a husband who grieves for his wife.

There’s four little monkeys who would have adored you.

Yes, you certainly deserved to have your life.

Loving and missing you for 12 years, Rick, Ryan, Megan and Matthew

IN MEMORIAM

HUNTER – In loving memory of Donald A. Hunter who passed away July 20, 2004.

If these walls could talk, they would speak of a man who has worked with great heart to accomplish his plan.

They’d speak of the times that he’s prayed in the night For strength to go on and do what is right.

They’d speak of sweet moments of laughter and fun, the times with his children, his love for each one.

Oh, if they could talk, it would just be the start fo a story of love, a great man, and his heart.

Lovingly remembered, Lois, Gerald and Joanne and family, Shirley and Rob and family and friends

GLADIOLI FOR DECORATION DAYS ALMoNTe LIoNS CLUB LIoN CArL SAdLer MeMorIAL FUNd rAISer

CL451269_0724

For many years the Late Lion Carl Sadler and his family supplied many in the community with Gladiolus in time for decoration days at local cemeteries. Following Carl’s passing his wife Shirley and their girls, offered the Lions Club this project as a fund raiser. We gladly accepted and named the project “The Lion Carl Sadler Memorial Fund Raiser”. In that way our club can raise funds to contribute back to the community and keep the motto of Lionism “We Serve” and the spirit of Lion Carl alive in Almonte.

The Lions Club will be selling Gladiolus at the Almonte Arena Saturday, August 9 - 8am until 12 Noon & Saturday, August 16 - 8am until 1pm Gladiolus will be provided by GREEN ACRES GREENHOUSES, SMITHS FALLS. Orders will be in mixed dozens. Limited additional mixed dozens will be available on a first come, first serve basis.

$15.00 per dozeN Members will be calling those who purchased Glads from us last year between July 23 and July 31. If for some reason we missed calling you, you can place your orders by contacting Lion Reg Gamble or Josh Gamble at 256-3313 or Green Acres Green Houses at 283-6423.

ALLAN – Remembering my beloved wife Maude who passed away July 28, 2011.

When the four winds blow softly and whisper for you to hear, I send these words for you whenever you are near.

I once had a treasure that money could not buy.

That treasure was Maude my wife My shining light and the apple of my eye.

When we retired it was to be a life of happiness and things to do and places to see.

You like to make a garden for the beauty that you see To see your smile when you are done It raised your spirit by more than three.

Your dedication to your plants was always number one To sit and watch your garden grow made you happy and you glowed.

As time would pass your health would fail.

Your garden too showed signs of pain.

You fought hard with all your might But in the end you lost the fight.

And I lost my shining light and the apple of my eye.

Always remembered by Bill Gord Rose and our relatives and friends and neighbours.

BOWES, Muriel It’s been 5 years since you’ve been gone, In our hearts your memory lingers, Sweetly tender, fond and true, There is not a day dear Mother, That we do not think of you.

Love, Jack and Pat, Arnie and Eleanor, Wayne and Karen, John and Linda, Glenn and Kelly, and Families

BRUNDIGE, COL – In loving memory of my husband who passed away July 26, 2007 His smiling way and pleasant face Are a pleasure to recall, He had a kindly word for each And died beloved by all.

IN MEMORIAM LEE - In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, who passed away July 1998.

Today recalls the memory Of a loved one gone to rest, And those who think of him today Are those that loved him best.

We seem to see in the soft dim light A face we love so dear.

Recalling him as the suns last rays Go down in the far off west.

Your last parting wish We would like to have heard And breathed in your ear.

Our last parting words.

Only those who have lost are able to tell, The pain in the heart without saying farewell.

For all that life has given us And all that’s left to do We know no greater treasure Than the years we had with you.

The gates of memory will never close We miss you more than anyone knows With tender love and deep regret We who love you will never forget.

Loved and forever missed wife Gladys Dan and Barb Gary and Wilma Tom and Cathy Kathy and Joe Kelly Jerry, Jeff and Tara his 13 grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren

paving a mile of township road?

- What regular maintenance budget is provided for roads, and for the docks?

- What plans are in place for managing traffic to maintain a safe environment and to ensure that there are available spaces for township residents to tie-up short term?

- What is the rationale for “reserving” spaces and for seasonal rental?

- What plans are there for improving service at the Portland docks to provide a positive experience worth remembering (and repeating) for visiting boaters?

Sincerely, Jennifer Trant Resident of Big Rideau Lake

From page SF9

I have repeatedly raised the issue of the Portland docks with the mayor and other representatives. The issue always seems to revolve around costs. Council must respect that docks are roads for waterfront and water-access properties when making budget decisions.

So my questions are as follows: - Will council include the repair of the Portland main dock and the restoration of the finger docks in its budget and plans for next year?

- How does the cost of repairing the Portland docks compare to the cost of

Town officer medals in police and fire games Sports – Constable Brent Pellett of the Smiths Falls Police Service was carrying more on his chest than the service crest recently when he brought home a gold medal and two silver medals during the semi-annual Can AM Police and Fire Games in York, Pennsylvania.

Const. Pellett earned his gold medal in the half marathon with a time of 1:46.53. He won silver medals in discus and shot put. The games took place be-

tween July 13-20, where he also competed in the 10k cross country run.

Constable Pellett was one of the officers who competed in the World Police and Fire games in Ireland in 2013 and is presently training to compete in the World Police and Fire Games in July 2015. This event will be held in Fairfax, Virginia.

Meet local producers Aug. 6 at Andress’ YIG

Events - On Wednesday, Aug. 6 Smiths Falls area beef lovers can get the story behind their dinner when local farmers providing Andress’ Your Independent Grocer with Canada AAA beef meet them on site to answer their questions.

Everyone who attends between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. is asked to bring a nonperishable food item for the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank.

“It goes without saying that the need for our Food Bank continues to grow every day. There are families – especially children that are missing meals,” Andress said.

The food bank donation bin will be located at the entrance to the event for ease.

Event attendees can also sample a delicious variety of beef recipes and speak with the local store owner.

This event marks a commitment from Your Independent Grocer to ensure the majority of beef on the shelf will be cut from Canada AAA. They’ve coordinated with DNA Traceback www.dnatraceback. com to enable customers to track the meat they’ve purchased at the source.

News – This month, Mark Quattrocchi of the Smiths Falls area decided to continue helping those in rural china learn in a very unique way - by literally raising funds to build a classroom for this September’s classes.

On July 7 Quattrocchi got onto his bicycle in Sanya, China where he’d been teaching for two years and began his three-year trip home to Canada.

He packed up his belongings from his life teaching kindergarten for the last two years and began cycling what would be 100 kms that day. His goal is simple - to help rural Chinese communities break the cycle of poverty through access to education.

“If the children have access to an education that is safe, they will be more likely to stay in school and have more options if they so choose to pursue them in the future,” Quattrocchi wrote in his email.

Work to build the new one-room schoolhouse is already underway. Quattrocchi’s goal of $10,000 is to build a second room onto the block-style structure.

As of the writing of this article, Quattrocchi has raised almost $7,000 of his goal and couldn’t be happier with everyone who has helped him realize this dream so quickly.

“To be honest, I never thought the goal would be in the headlights this quickly,” Quattrocchi added via an email interview. “I thank everyone for their kindness. Every little bit helps.”

The Canadian charity, Free The Children will receive all the funds to build the new classroom in Guang Ming, China.

Since going into China to work with the people in 2002, Free The Children has learned that more than five million children that are out of school are working in child labour situations to help feed their families. Quattrocchi has learned that the existing school in Guang Ming was deemed unsafe and is too small for the number of children in attendance.

He said sometimes the school will hold class outside, but it doesn’t address the long-term problem.

“For some children this means walking two hours through the mountains to the neighbouring community where there is enough room for them in the classroom,” Quattrocchi said.

The young man has his Bachelor of Education from Trent University, but his passion for education is something he comes by honestly having grown up in a home where education was highly valued. His mother, Dorothy Quattrocchi has recently retired from her education career. Her final post was as the principal at St. Joseph School in Toledo.

The Quattrocchi family learned of Mark’s plans last summer, after a year of planning, and have been working with him ever since to share his story and support him through this physically and psychologically challenging experience.

“It’s something he feels he needs to do right now,” Dorothy added. “We’re

Brooke Henderson competes with world’s best amateurs in Amateur Championship Sports – A strong contingent of the world’s top female amateur golfers will compete July 21-25 in the 101st playing of the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship at Craigowan Golf and Country Club in Woodstock, Ont and Smiths Falls’ Brooke Henderson is among them.

The championship will feature 156 of the top Canadian and international female amateurs contending for the Duchess of Connaught Trophy.

This year, 13 players ranked inside the top-100 in the world, including No. 2 ranked amateur and defending champion, Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, highlight the strong field.

After a slow start to her opening round at the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship on Tuesday, Henderson bounced back to finish at -1, a tie for seventh place.

She opened with three bogeys in the first eight holes, but started to turn things around on the ninth with a birdie.

On the back nine, the Smiths Falls teen showed why she’s the second ranked amateur in the world with a birdie on 12 and eagle on 13 to get into red figures.

The opening two rounds featured all 156 golfers to qualify for the championship. Only the top 70 and ties advance to the third and fourth rounds today (Thursday) and Friday.

“We are very excited about this year’s Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship as it features some of the world’s strongest competitors,” said Golf Canada Tournament Director Mary Beth McKenna.

“The golf course will challenge these players as they vie for the title and those coveted exemptions into the 2014 Canadian Pacific Women’s Open and U.S. Women’s Amateur.”

Brooke Henderson Last year, Team Canada’s Henderson, 16, captured the 2013 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship by six strokes over Anne-Catherine Tanguay of Quebec.

Already this season, she has won five amateur titles – the Junior Orange Bowl, South Atlantic Amateur, Scott Robertson Memorial, the Porter Cup and the Ontario Women’s Amateur. In addition, Henderson has excelled on the professional stage, winning the 2014 Canadian Women’s Tour Ontario stop and finishing T10 at the U.S. Women’s Open and T29 at the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Leading into the championship she sits as the highest ranked Canadian in the world on the professional Women’s Rolex Rankings at No. 188.

The strong field heading to Woodstock, will also include Su-Hyun Oh of Australia, Mexico’s Gabriela Lopez and Annie Park of Levittown, N.Y. who all rank inside the top-12 in the world.

Craigowan Golf and Country Club played host to the 2009 Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship where former World No. 2 ranked amateur Matt Hill took home the prestigious title. This year marks the first time the club has hosted a national amateur championship

since the 2005 Canadian Junior Boys Championship.

“It’s always an honour to have the opportunity to host a national championship and it has been many years of planning and the members and staff at Craigowan are extremely excited to host such a talented international field of players,” said Adam Hagen, general manager at Craigowan.

Team Canada’s National and Development squads will also bring their full rosters to the event. Jennifer Ha of Calgary, Augusta James of Bath, ON and Brittany Marchand of Orangeville, ON are all ranked inside the top-100 in the world and will contend for the title alongside their teammates Henderson and Tanguay. Jaclyn Lee of Calgary, Valerie Tanguay of St-Hyacinthe, Que., Naomi Ko of Victoria, Taylor Kim of Surrey, B.C. and Sabrine Garrison of Calgary will represent Team Canada’s Development Squad.

The Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship also features a MidAmateur competition and a Mid-Master competition. An inter-provincial team championship will also take place in conjunction with the first two rounds of stroke play. Additionally, the 2014 Canadian Women’s Amateur champion earns an exemption into the 2014 Canadian Pacific Women’s Open at London Hunt and Country Club in London, Ont. and the 2014 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship.

Practice rounds will be held Monday, July 21 with championship play following Tuesday, July 22 through Friday, July 25 with 18 holes of stroke play each day.

After 36 holes, the field will be cut to the low 70 and ties. Any tie after 72 holes will result in a hole-by-hole play-off.

Gamble scramble on tap at Thursday Night Twilight

By THE BOGEYMAN

Sports - Our friends at Miller’s Wheel Alignment sponsored the July 17 edition of the Thursday Night Men’s Twilight, choosing the always fun “gamble scramble” format in which the group’s tee shot is chosen by a roll of the die.

It’s great when the roll puts you in the fairway, and not so good when it puts you behind some trees—or worse.

Experience—and, boy do I mean experience—really paid off for the Wood, James, Patti, Blair, Jeffreys, and Ross group, as they posted the low score on the front side. The much younger Pomeroy, Wertwynn, Poulin, McNeely, Mains, McCreary group rolled well on the back side, getting the ball in the hole with the fewest shots to win.

Jack Anderson, wearing a yellow golf shirt visible from space, won the Roosteraunt closest to the pin prize for his shot on 8th hole. Peter Aunger threw a dart on the tricky 14 to earn his own free breakfast.

The Burns’ Jewellers best second

shots were struck by Goldie Dixit for his long distance approach to number 2 from the centre of the fairway on number 4, and to Tom Hoysted for his beauty on hole number 12.

The Town and Country Chrysler longest drives were sent into the stratosphere by Ray “look at them pipes”, Blair and Greg “now you know why they call me Champ” Hull. Bill Ballantyne was the luck 50/50 draw winner, and Dave Hawkins took home the bottle of Roy’s Number 8.

Positive attitude powers hikers’ 305 km trek to inspire kids physical activity Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Sports – More than physical strength, more than good boots, what helps the most on a grueling 305 km trek?

A good attitude.

“You can have a positive attitude about it, or a negative attitude,” said Tyson Montgomery. “Accept the challenge and see it as an opportunity.”

Montgomery, and his friend Ben Richardson, both personal trainers, left their hometown of Kingston on July 12, in support of the Boys and Girls Club of Kingston. They are hiking the 305 kilometres of the Rideau Trail to Ottawa to raise funds and awareness of active, healthy living, and being tobacco-free.

During their stroll through Lanark County, members of the Boys and Girls Clubs in Perth and Smiths Falls rallied at Conlon Farm in Perth on Friday, July 18 to see the two walkers off on the latest leg of their journey, on their way to Smiths Falls, which they passed through the next day.

After days of just themselves on empty trails out in the bush, the two men appeared delighted to show off the contents of their 50 lb bags to the eager youngsters, and to share stories of endurance on the trail.

“When it says ‘rough trail’ in the guide book, they aren’t messing around,” said Robinson, after nearly a week roughing it, speaking to students from elementary schools like Maple Grove in Lanark Highlands Township and Chimo in Smiths Falls.

The two men clock about 25 to 30 km per day and wake up at 7 a.m. and are on the trail by 8:30. They usually hike for eight to nine hours a day, walking between four and eight kilometers before taking a 15-minute break.

Their longest break is for 45 minutes for lunch.

“It can be pretty fun, for a while,” said Richardson. “(But) it can get a little boring,” especially as your feet, and body, start to ache. But the trying conditions on the trail have helped them shape their positive attitudes.

“I don’t worry about what is around the corner,” said Richardson. “I take it one step at a time. Be patient, be determined.”

During their first week, the men were rained on every other day, and having to continue walking with only one change of clothes and wet socks, makes them appreciate the comforts of home all the more.

“Think about how good it felt to be in a clean warm bed (tonight), and sit at a nice dinner table,” said Montgomery. “Be grateful for what you have at home.”

Desmond Devoy / METROLAND The two men are packing about 120 lbs of food Students from Chimo Elementary School in Smiths Falls wave handmade signs of support with them, and “you really realize how heavy food to encourage hikers Ben Robinson and Tyson Montgomery on their way during the 305 is when you have to carry it,” said Richardson. “ A bagel weighs a lot more than you think when you km trek from Kingston to Ottawa. are carrying six of them.”

Bereavement support group moves to Smiths Falls Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Community –Community Home Support of Lanark County has a bereavement group that is moving to Smiths Falls.

Starting July 30, the program will open its doors at the Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark County – located behind the health centre at 2 Gould St. “We’re moving our Carleton Place group to Smiths Falls,” said Rebecca Bowie, coordinator for Community Home Support. “It’s a good fit for us in Smiths Falls working with the Alzheimer’s Society.”

That’s not to say CHS was not thankful for the support it received from Carleton Place’s Waterside Retirement Residence.

“We had great support for the past two and a half years from Car-

leton Place’s Waterside Retirement Residence,” she said. “They gave us the space for free and we appreciate that.”

In Smiths Falls, however, the bereavement group has a community partnership already in the works and getting some referrals from the Alzheimer’s Society was a drawing feature.

“It’s a good fit to help care for individuals,” Bowie said. “The Alzheimer’s Society has donated the space for us to use – and it’s a beautiful space with lots of room and a big table to use for group activities, a kitchen… it’s wonderful.”

The bereavement group will hold their monthly sessions on the fourth Wednesday.

“Barbara Carroll and Christa Dales Donnelly will be helping to co-facili-

tate the programming.”

The bereavement support group is free of charge for anyone grieving from the death of a loved one.

If you are suffering from the loss of an important life event – like the death of a pet, the loss of a job, retirement, or even the loss of health, there is help out there as well.

Carroll, a bereavement counselor in Carleton Place, offers help to those suffering from loss of any type.

Directions: Take Elmsley St. North past the Smiths Falls Hospital and turn right at the back of Collegiate Court (the old high school) where Rideau Child Care Centre is located and follow along to the sign for the Alzheimer Society. The group will meet where Desmond Devoy / METROLAND the Alzheimer Society has their Day Away Program.

has also won a $1,000 grant from YIG’s parent company, Loblaws supermarkets, for their after-school program.

Rideau Community Health Services is upgrading to serve you better!

Dear Clients of the Merrickville District and Smiths Falls Community Health Centres, Rideau Valley Diabetes Services and TeleMedicine, Over the next three months, you may notice some changes at Rideau Community Health Services, but rest assured they are temporary.

From July to October we will be operating with fewer physicians, but we expect everything to be back to normal by November.

In the meantime, we are upgrading our Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems, which will allow us to serve you better.

Laurie Weir/METROLAND

Community – On July 30 the Community Home Support Lanark County’s monthly bereavement support group will be held in a new location. Formerly held in Carleton Place, the group is ongoing and will meet the last Wednesday of every month from 1 to 3 p.m. in Smiths Falls at 2 Gould St., (behind the health centre). The location is inside the Alzheimer’s Society office in Collegiate Hall. Pictured are Christa Dales Donnelly, Rebecca Bowie and Barbara Carroll, all of the Lanark County Hospice.

How will this transition period affect you? You will need to book appointments for all visits, even blood work, and it will take a little longer to process prescription renewals. Physicals and well-child visits will be put on hold until November.

If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact Kelly Robinson at 613-269-3400.

Thank you for your patience during this short transition period.

Local vegetables and fruit make nice addition to picnics Meena Tipper

Lifestyle – Summertime is ideal for eating outside, at the beach, in the back yard or a local park. When planning foods for outdoor eating remember that in the summertime many local vegetables and fruit are at their peak and make a wonderful addition to any meal. It is also important to stay hydrated, and use safe food practices.

riety of other vegetables. Bring vinaigrette dressing to toss before serving.

- Serve sliced vegetables and dip.

Try locally grown tomatoes, red peppers, radishes, cauliflower, zucchini, and cucumbers.

- Bring whole grain buns.

- Whole grain pitas or wraps: turkey, chicken, tuna or salmon with lettuce, chopped celery, peppers, onion and shredded carrots. Or use lettuce as the “wrap” for the filling. Replace mayonnaise with mustard or low fat yogurt.

- For dessert, have fruit salad made with locally grown produce, such as strawberries, blueberries and apples.

Add some Ontario grown fruit such as peaches and cherries.

Healthy picnic options Typical prepackaged picnic foods such as hot dogs, mayonnaise based salads (e.g. potato salad), chips, desserts etc. can be high in saturated fat, sodium and sugar. You can make your picnic healthier by including vegetables, fruit, whole grains and lean meat. Summer picnics occur at the Stay hydrated height of the fresh fruit and vegetable It is also important to stay hydrated season. Here are a few tasty and easy when outside in hot weather.

Nutrition Tips especially children and the elderly.

The best choice to stay hydrated is water – try adding ice or lemon slices for a refreshing drink. Other healthy options include low-fat milk and 100 per cent fruit or vegetable juice. Avoid alcohol or caffeinated beverages – these may actually contribute to dehydration. You can try freezing your drinks ahead of time so they will be cool later in the day.

Keep it safe When taking food to a location away from home, plan with extra care.

The summer heat can cause bacteria in food to grow and multiply more rapidly than usual, leading to a greater risk of foodborne illness. Safe food handling is very important in order

to prevent foodborne illness. Follow these simple steps to ensure you have a food-safe picnic: - Bring non-perishable foods (nuts, fruits, vegetables, pickles and preserves, canned meat and fish).

- Keep potentially hazardous foods out of the “danger zone” (between 40C and 600C) where harmful bacteria can multiply quickly. Pack foods in a cooler, stocked with ice packs.

- Cool or freeze prepared foods completely before packing your cooler.

- Place cooler in coldest part of car during transport (backseat). Keep the cooler out of the sun.

- Put drinks in a separate cooler, as this cooler will be opened and closed more frequently.

- Separate raw meat from readyto-eat foods. It is recommended that meats be cooked thoroughly beforehand, cooled completely, and then re-

heated on site.

- Wash hands after touching raw foods, and before eating. If running water is not available, use a gel sanitizer or moist wipe.

- Discard all uneaten hazardous foods.

- When in doubt, throw it out.

For free resources, or more information on healthy eating, call EatRight Ontario at 1-877-510-5102 to speak directly to a Registered Dietitian.

For more information on safe food handling you can also contact the Leeds, Grenville, and Lanark District Health Unit’s Health Action Line at 1-800-660-5853 (613-345-5685) or visit our website at www.healthunit. org/nutrition.

Things to consider before downsizing your home if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if you’re willing to move further away from your family. If not, you likely can still find a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any nearby family members.

Medical care Many older men and women must also consider the effect that moving may have on their medical care.

Downsizing to a home in the country may make it harder to maintain contact with your current physician, and rural areas typically have less medical practitioners than more densely populated towns and cities.

In addition, if you have been visiting the same physician for years, you may not want to move and have to start all over again with a physician who is unfamiliar with your medical history.

Consider how much maintaining your existing relationship with your physician means to you, and if your Older couples must consider next home will provide the kind of a host of factors before decidaccess to medical care you’re likely ing to downsize their homes.

Proximity to family When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with more ready access to culture and restaurants. While that accessibility is great, grandparents may find that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That’s a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children

to need.

Downsizing a home is not just about moving into a smaller property.

To ensure you’re making the right decision, many factors must be considered before downsizing.

Real estate market The real estate market can be a seller’s friend or foe. Many sellers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate market can be fickle, so homeowners should do their research before putting their home up for sale.

Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes in your area selling? When studying the real estate market, it’s also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not flush with properties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing.

Furniture When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is unlikely to fit into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furniture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it’s been a while since you purchased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shock on your first visit to the furniture store.

Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you simply can’t live without.

An antique dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over the last several decades, but there’s no guarantee it will fit into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that’s only possible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you’re left with no other options.

The decision to downsize a home is often bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsizing a home helps couples save more money, and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement.

But in spite of the financial impact of downsizing a home, there’s more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home.

Exercise and the older woman The aging process has a way of making people risk-averse. Financial advisors typically recommend that men and women steer clear of risky investments as they age, and men and women over 50 often make lifestyle choices to reduce their risk of developing certain medical conditions. As women age, some may feel exercise is simply too risky. Hormonal changes brought on by aging decrease a woman’s bone density, and that fact makes many women over 50 hesitant to embrace exercise. But exercise plays a key role in helping women over 50 secure their long-term health and reduce their risk of injury. * Exercise promotes independence.

Some women feel that exercising after 50 increases their risk of injury, which can make them overly dependent on

their loved ones. But exercise, in particular strength training, slows bone deterioration, helping bones stay stronger longer and reducing a woman’s risk of suffering a potentially debilitating injury. Independence is especially important to seniors, many of whom spent years planning their retirements and awaiting the day when they would be free to travel at their leisure. Daily exercise can help women maintain that independence by reducing their risk of injury and other ailments that can be confining. * Exercise can improve sleep. Some women who are fighting fatigue may feel that routine exercise will only make them more tired. But exercise actually improves energy levels and makes it easier to get a better night’s rest. Numerous studies have shown that routine exercise

can improve sleep quality and even increase energy levels throughout the day, something that should raise an eyebrow among women who do not exercise but routinely find themselves fighting fatigue. A more quality night’s rest improves vitality, making it easier for women to exercise and make it through the day without feeling fatigued. * Exercise benefits those with limited mobility. Women over 50 with limited mobility may feel that exercise serves no purpose because of their disability or physical condition. But even women confined to wheelchairs or those forced to walk with a cane or walker can benefit from cardiovascular exercise and even light strength training. Such exercises can improve a woman’s range of motion while reducing her risk of heart disease.

* It’s never too late to start exercising.

Many aging women feel their time to embrace exercise has long since passed.

But it’s never too late to start exercising.

Women should take a conservative approach when exercising after a long hiatus, beginning with a slow walk around the neighborhood or a local park. Walking is a great beginner’s exercise, as it provides a good cardiovascular workout while working a variety of muscle groups. As your body readjusts to physical activity, gradually increase the intensity of your exercise sessions, adding some strength training, ideally under the supervision of a professional. Always stretch immediately after each exercise session, and give your body ample time to recover, especially when you begin your new regimen. WT145162

Two years later, the team has grown to more than 20 riders, and Mattamy Homes has taken the reins as title sponsor of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature fundraiser.

Ride the Rideau is a natural fit for Mattamy Homes, Canada’s largest new home builder, said Peter Gilgan, Founder and CEO of Mattamy Homes.

Based in Toronto, Gilgan, who is an avid cyclist, recently signed up to do the 100-mile ride in Ottawa alongside his staff.

“This is definitely something that we’re proud to be a part of,” said Mark Parsons, President of the Ottawa Division of Mattamy Homes. Parsons and team captain Mattamy Senior Project Manager, Land Development

Mike Green, both avid cyclists, are leading group rides so all team members will be comfortable with their conditioning on the day of the Ride.

The team has brought Mattamy’s small Ottawa office closer together, Green said.

“Ottawa has always supported Mattamy,” said Gilgan, “and we want to give back where we build.”

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada and is responsible for 30 cent of all deaths. An estimated 191,300 new cases of cancer and 76,600 deaths from cancer will occur in Canada in 2014. The proceeds from Ride the Rideau support the groundbreaking cancer research that will save or improve the quality of life for many.

NATURE’S BIOLUMINESCENCE

In its fifth year, Ride the Rideau will be held Saturday, September 6. It features a brand-new 100 mile distance this year, in addition to its popular 50 km and flagship 100 km rides. All distances feature new routes, departing from and returning to Ottawa’s EY Centre, making it easier for family, friends and fans to cheer riders on at the start and finish.

Now through Nov 9 2014 Explore the magic and science of the phenomenon of natural bioluminescence in this visually stunning special exhibition!

The Ride grows each year, continues to be the top cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario. In just four years, has raised over $6.45 million in support of cancer research, including the development of personalized therapies for cancer patients and clinical trials at The Ottawa Hospital.

For more information, to register, or volunteer, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

When Mattamy Homes first got involved with Ride the Rideau in 2012, they were a cozy team of five. But like many event participants, the event grew on them. Inspired by the cause and captivated by the well-organized event, the team decided to up their involvement.

LAWS to hold bake, yard sale this weekend at shelter Lifestyle – There are two reasons to visit the shelter this week. First, there are lots of furry little faces at the shelter waiting to find their forever homes. Second, LAWS is holding a yard and bake sale this weekend.

We invite you to come out and visit with the animals and at the same time you might find a deal at the yard sale. All proceeds from the sale will support LAWS directly.

The shelter is located at 253 Glenview Road in Smiths Falls.

Staff at the shelter encourage people not to leave animals outside unattended.

There were 12 beautiful babies left in boxes outside the shelter in a shed that they would not normally go in.

These little critters could have died in that very extreme heat.

Please do not drop animals off when the shelter is closed.

To find out more about our events and animals up for adoption please visit our website at www.lanarkanimals.ca or our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals.

a kitten overpopulation problem.

These beautiful babies need forever homes.

Please consider adopting and for a limited time if you adopt a kitten you will get a second adoption (kitten or cat) at half price. The cost to adopt a kitten is $190, the second one would be $95.

This Week’s Pets

Lennie Lennie is a very affectionate Russian blue mix short hair extra toes cat. He still has to grow into his big paws, but he’s only four-months-old.

He was born at the shelter, brother to five other siblings who have been porary guest.

Valentino came with an infected adopted. eye causing a laceration. He’s totally healed after a successful surgery.

The eye that was operated on was stitched a little too tight, that’s why he can’t fully close it.

He does not suffer from it and sees really well. At times he can be a little bossy as he wants to be the only man in your life.

Valentino would function best in a one cat household. Please give him a chance.

keeps to himself, but does need a home, too. He’s black with sleek shiny fur and observant when people come in to choose a cat.

He will let you know when he’s the one to be picked.

Actually Baker is a real gem patiently waiting for the right master to come along.

Ozzie He is a handsome boy who came in as a stray not too long ago. Ozzie is very laid back, friendly, loves to eat and definitely the lap cat you’ve been waiting for.

He’s an extra large cat with no other issues but wanting to be loved.

This week’s featured pets Lennie is handsome, clean, Baker One word comes to mind when The shelter is currently facing healthy and ready to play with you.

Come and meet this young lad, he’s watching him: mystery! He’s quiet, worth the trip.

Take another of his favorite playmates of which he has many to choose from, and you’ll get two for the price of one and a half. Having two cats instead of one is easier anyway. They keep each other company while you’re away.

We think he’s about four or fiveyears-old.

Iris A name very well chosen for this pretty slim lady. She’s absolutely stunning like the flower! Iris is a slim Russian blue mix. She has one cloudy eye but sees well. Iris might be a little shy when you first meet her, but once she knows you’re okay she quickly lets you know she’s around. She needs a forever home.

Comic clowns at Classic Theatre’s Come Blow Your Horn Arts – Toronto actors Matthew Gorman and Heather Marie Annis are two of the performers providing a lot of laughs in the Classic Theatre Festival’s production of the Neil Simon comedy Come Blow Your Horn, playing until Aug. 3 in Perth at 54 Beckwith Street East (at Harvey).

Originally from Nova Scotia, Gorman, who now calls Toronto his home, plays the role of the nerdy younger brother Buddy Baker in the comedy, which is based on Neil Simon’s own perception of himself.

Idolizing his older brother Alan (the consummate playboy who juggles more women than he has fingers on his hands), Buddy has never much gotten beyond a handshake with any of his dates, so he commits himself to full-time philandering with hilarious results.

Gorman says of his character: “He is the Neil Simon stand-in, who causes a lot of trouble by moving in with his cool older brother to experience 1960s New York instead of 1920s Brooklyn, which is life at his parents’ house.

“But Buddy has no real world experience, especially around women.

It’s a fun role, because it is a really honest portrayal of the writer’s own perception of himself—he doesn’t make himself into the superhero, he makes himself the butt of a lot of jokes as he gets into more and more trouble.”

Gorman says the hints of vaudeville comedy in the play say more about the world than a lot of dramas of the era.

“You deal with real emotions and people in the midst of some very crazy situations. They are not cartoon caricatures, they are men and women trying to learn how to relate to each other,” he says.

Gorman is currently artistic director of the critically acclaimed Cart/ Horse Theatre, which has a very specific mandate: “When choosing a project, we follow a simple formula. Actor, audience, story. This also forms the basis for our company’s mandate, to present stories of human nature to an engaged audience in the most honest way we can, and to celebrate the shared experience that is the theatre.”

Distractions, strange vehicle noises hot topics for drivers Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

ther and demand carmakers include this as standard equipment? I’d love to hear your opinions on this, check my contact information at the end of this column.

While on the topic of distractions, strange vehicle noises can drive both car owners and technicians around the bend.

There’s nothing worse than an unusual whirr, clunk, rattle, or bang cropping up in an otherwise smooth running and quiet vehicle. The first thing that’s required when taking your ride into the shop for a noise repair is to be on the same page as the service consultant when describing a noise. Thanks to the Internet, there is a wealth of different websites with audio clips of various car noises. Check out www.mycarmakesnoise.com for more.

To help your service provider get to the bottom of your noise the first time make sure you can tell them: 1) What – the type of noise. Is it a rattle, clunk, hum, whir, bang, or something else?

2) Where – can you identify which end or corner of the vehicle it’s coming from?

3) When – is it worse at a particular speed or over certain bumps or when it’s cold or hot?

Try doing some of your own detective work (remember with shop rates at $100/hour or more it pays to help try to reduce some of the tech time involved).

If you can’t pinpoint where the noise is coming from, try driving along next to a large wall at a mall or school parking lot.

The wall will bounce the sounds back to you and might make it easier to pinpoint the source.

When dealing with a wheel noise, try gently and safely swerving back and forth in your lane while driving down the road.

If the noise changes drastically in volume when swerving to the left or right, you’re vehicle probably has a wheel bearing on the way out. Wheel noises caused by tire tread won’t normally change under those circumstances.

Jot down a few notes for your service team on when the noise happens (think of the what, where, and when parameters).

If there’s more than one driver in the family, always have the person who has experienced the noise the most take it in to the shop. Nothing wastes time or money like someone who drops off the keys at the service desk, saying “I don’t know why it’s in today, I never heard any noise, and you’ll have to call my partner.”

If there’s any doubt between you and your service consultant about the type of noise you want investigated, arrange a road test with a tech or advisor and dem-

Lifestyle – Another study on distracted driving is out and more promises on crack-downs have followed. The recent Ontario student survey completed by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health has revealed a whopping one-third of young drivers in Grades 10, 11, and 12 admitted to texting while driving at least once in the past year. When Grade 12 students are singled out, that figure goes up to almost half (48 per cent).

Past collision data studies reveal that texting or using a cell phone while driving is roughly equivalent to driving under the influence of alcohol in terms of increased risks. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation is answering by reintroducing legislation that was stalled by the last election. These new rules would see increased fines plus demerit points for convicted distracted drivers. But why are we treating these drivers any differently than drunk drivers?

If you’re convicted of drunk driving in this province, after a suitable license suspension, you are required, at your expense, to equip your vehicle with a device that requires random alcohol-free breath samples in order to keep the motor running. Why not a similar device for convicted distracted drivers? The technology is available to create cell-phone signal dead-zones and by adapting such devices for use in cars we can remove the chance that a distracted-driving offender can make or take calls or texts while inside the vehicle. Why not go one step fur-

Sex Tape might be one tape you could skip

So when the video uploads to the Cloud it gets shared with all of Jay’s past iPads.

When Jay and Annie figure out what’s happened they panic. Then they go on a mad quest to get all the iPads back, and erase all traces of the video. Awkwardness naturally ensues.

Sex Tape was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be one long awkward moment after another, and it was. In fact it was painfully awkward, but there were moments when the awkward was kind of amusing. There were even times when I laughed. This is the kind of film that registers more groans then laughs, but surprisingly there is the occasional snicker.

Operation Dry Water will focus on the potential risks of drinking and boating, and remedies that are currently in place to discourage it.

Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with impaired operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold.

This means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge is able to, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges.

But that’s not all; it can get worse.

Some provinces have enacted legislation where drinking and boating can affect your automobile driving privileges.

In Ontario, for example, Bill 209 amended the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel”. As such, anyone found boating with a blood

alcohol level above .05, faces an on-the-spot automobile drivers’ license suspension.

Should the person’s blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction, an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied.

Operation Dry Water is aimed at reducing the number of alcohol-related accidents and fatalities on the water while fostering a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol use while boating.

The end goal? To achieve safer and more enjoyable recreational boating.

During the Aug. 2 long weekend, a number of police agencies will be offering the media the chance to ride along while they conduct onwater vessel safety checks.

Please contact your local detachment to see if they are offering this opportunity.

This initiative is made possible through support of Transport Canada’s Office of Boating Safety.

News – Drinking and boating accounts for approximately 40 per cent of boating-related fatalities on Canadian waterways.

To raise awareness and reduce alcohol related deaths, the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is launching year two of an initiative called Operation Dry Water.

Its goal is to discourage this dangerous practice. With the summer boating season in high gear, the Aug. 2 long weekend is the perfect time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of drinking and boating.

Combined with sun, wind, waves and the rocking motion of the boat, the effects of alcohol on the water can be greatly increased.

“The CSBC and its partners would like, through this initiative, to raise attention to the problem of boating under the influence and to remind boaters not to drink and boat,” stated Jean Murray, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council.

My Take

Mark haskins

awkward moments as Annie and Jay’s best friends. Rob Lowe manages to drop jaws with a scene I will not ruin by spoiling, but I will say is one of the funniest in the film.

Then there was Jack Black who makes an appearance as the owner of a pornographic website.

Mr. Black delivers a tirade of pornographic website names that almost has to be heard to be believed.

I will say this about the two lead actors, Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, they are fearless in their craft. They committed body and soul to these roles. Of the two Diaz is funnier, though to be fair I don’t really care for Segel.

Most of the time he annoys me, and that hasn’t changed with this film. Though I will admit he and Diaz do have a kind of chemistry that kind of works.

Sex Tape isn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but that doesn’t make it worth seeing. Unless you have some strange desire to see Jason Segel’s backside I think this one is best avoided.

MOVIE: Sex Tape STARRING: Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, Rob Corddry, Ellie Kemper, and Rob Lowe DIRECTOR: Jake Kasdan RATING: 14A Lifestyle ¬– I liked Bad Teacher. I didn’t think they needed to do a sequel, but hey who I am to say?

Annie (Cameron Diaz) and Jay (Jason Segel) have been madly in love since the day they met. They’ve also felt a near compulsion to express their love physically since day one. Now with two kids and careers such opportunities have become rare. So to help get the magic back Annie suggests to Jay that they make a movie of themselves.

Jay thinks this is a marvelous idea.

It becomes a night to remember, but unfortunately Jay forgets to erase the video from his iPad. The catch here is that Jay, as part of his job at the radio station, gets a couple of new iPads on a fairly regular basis. When he gets the new ones he gives the old ones away to family and friends. Now the old ones still sync with all of Jay’s music.

SB&H is one of 28 provincial and numerous local charities that will ben-

efit from LCBO’s province-wide donation box program in 2014. In 2012, LCBO raised a total of more than $6.6 million for charities through special programs and initiatives, of which $6.1 million was raised through in-store fundraising. In addition, LCBO’s annual dividend transfer to the Ontario

government, which totaled $1.7 billion in fiscal 2012-13, excluding taxes, supports a wide range of important government programs, services and priorities, including health care and education.

SB&H thanks the public for its support when shopping at their local LCBO store from July 20 to Aug. 16.

Community – Starting July 20, the public can help support the Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association of Ontario (SB&H) by making a donation at any of the more than 635 LCBO stores throughout Ontario. Donation boxes for SB&H will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters until Aug. 16.

SB&H is the only organization in Ontario providing support, comprehensive information and education to children, adults, families and caregivers facing extraordinary challenges as a result of spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus. The “Every Healthy Baby is a Victory” campaign spreads the word about the vital need for women in their reproductive years to take a daily multivitamin containing 0.4 mg of folic acid. Doing so can dramatically reduce the risk of birth defects such as spina bifida.

“LCBO’s province-wide store network and supportive staff help us raise significant funds for important programs and services benefiting thousands of Ontario families. It also helps to increase public awareness about spina bifida and hydrocephalus which are complex, lifelong neurological conditions,” said Joan Booth, executive director, SB&H. “We appreciate the support we receive from LCBO, its employees and especially its customers.”

All prices are cash prices with only the HST extra. Other charges may apply if finance option chosen, such as PPSA or other fees charged by the finance institution, Carproof, lien checks, or other charges that may be incurred when trading in a vehicle, discharging lien, or financing a vehicle. Many clients with less than perfect credit may qualify for rates as low as 3.99% but rates may vary based on credit history from 3.99 to 29.99%. Many institutions charge fees in addition to PPSA and those charges are passed on to the consumer.
