Seeking input on Lanark County's economic development plan Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation, Lanark County and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs are leading an economic development strategic planning process for the county and are seeking input from stakeholders.

This county-wide partnership initiative is driven by all municipalities in Lanark County and economic development stakeholders throughout the wider region. Since the process began in May, the leadership team has met twice and numerous meetings with smaller working groups have taken place. Currently the process has engaged 41 representatives from every municipality in the county.

“We have met our initial milestones toward our goal of developing a roadmap for future economic development programs and services for the county, which can also be used by the individual municipalities,” explains Stacie Lloyd, Regional Economic Development Officer for Valley Heartland.

Lanark County Bill Dobson says

he is enthusiastic about the process.

“It is great to have the collaboration of every one of the municipalities in Lanark County, along with economic development stakeholder advisory groups in the wider region of Smiths Falls and North Leeds. By working together we will ensure a strong future for our businesses and residents.”

Stakeholder groups include economic development committees, chambers of commerce, BIAs, educational and healthcare organizations, and business community representatives.

“Now we are seeking high-level information from the stakeholders,” Lloyd said. “We are asking them to complete a questionnaire to provide input on the things that make Lanark County a great place to live, work and play, and on actions that could be taken to improve Lanark County.”

The questionnaire can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/ r/5PKFV2H until Aug. 14.

Initial meetings set the foundation for the process and how each com-

munity will contribute to the collaborative plan. Participants have been delving into the demographics and economy of the county to consider local industry sectors, workforce, strengths and future opportunities in economic develop.

Lloyd explains two working groups

were formed to continue the analysis and engage Economic Development Stakeholder Advisory Groups to provide insight into the collaboration.

“We want to ensure key priorities from existing municipal and regional plans are incorporated into the process.”

Updates on the strategic planning process can be found at http:// valleycfdc.com/strategic-planning/.

For more information, contact Lloyd at 613-283-7002 ext. 106 or e-mail EcDev@valleycfdc.com.

OPP Cold Case from 1975: Do you know who the Nation River Lady?

On May 3, 1975, a local farmer discovered the remains of a woman in the Nation River a short distance from the Highway 417 bridge and south of the Town of Casselman, Ontario.

This deceased woman became known as the Nation River Lady and Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigators are re-introducing the case in an effort to identify who she is and to seek any information to further this homicide investigation.

She is described as Caucasian, aged 25 to 50 years old, between five-foot-two and five-footeight in height, average build, approximately 100 pounds with brown hair that was dyed a reddish blond.

Her body was wrapped with two pieces of green cloth, two towels - one depicting an Irish Toast and the second displaying multiple flowers. Additionally, a j-cloth, black coaxial cable and a curtain rod runner were with the body.

Her hands and feet were bound with neckties; a blue tie with small Canada flag emblems known as "the Canadian tie", a blue-striped, silk tie and a red tie with yellow patterns.

The Nation River Lady was wearing a navy blue body suit which had a collar, buttons threequarters of the way down the front, long sleeves and snaps that secured in the crotch area. Her toe nails and fingernails were manicured and painted with a pink polish, she had an appendix operation scar and wore partial upper and lower dentures. A copy of her fingerprints and DNA profile are on file.

United Way Lanark County and 3M Canada backpack drive returns Once again, our local 3M Canada Perth plants are stepping up to run a Backpack Drive to collect school supplies and donations for local youth in Lanark County. With the new school year just over a month away, there will still be kids returning without the supplies they need to achieve their full potential. Unfortunately, not all families are able to afford this traditional purchase.

“Over the past 2 years, 3M and the community were able to fill 50 backpacks for kids in our community,” says Kate Hallas, Resource Development Officer for United Way Lanark County.

“The company and its employees continue to show initiative and drive to help those in need in our community, and we are so grateful for their support and willingness to bring awareness to local issues. 3M has been both a long-time, and one of our largest, supporters through corporate and employee donations – they exemplify true community spirit.”

Employees of 3M will be donating supplies and cash to the drive, and invites the public to participate as well.

“At 3M we are proud to be part of this community initiative. We are honoured to participate in such a worthwhile event,” says Allyson McIntyre, Human Resources Manager at 3M Perth.

The following locations will accept

donations of new backpacks and unopened items from the community during their regular opening hours: • 3M Perth (2 Craig Street, Perth) – Inside building 301; • United Way Lanark County (15 Bates Drive, Carleton Place); • YAK Youth Centre (1 Sherbrooke Street East, Perth); • Lanark Highlands Youth Centre (61 Princess Street, Lanark); • Carleton Place & District Youth Centre (360 Edmund Street, Carleton Place); • Smiths Falls & District Centre for Youth (41 Main Street West, Smiths Falls); and, • Mississippi Mills Youth Centre (134 Main Street, Almonte).

“This year, we would like to continue our focus on Grade 9 to 12,” explains Hallas. Every year, Connections (program that supports families in the healthy growth and development of young children through cooperative efforts involving families, services and communities) continues to collect requests and referrals from others like Lanark Community Programs, Family & Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds & Grenville, and individuals throughout Lanark County. Their program provides supplies for children in Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12, with a focus on the younger age groups.

COMMENTARY Have we reached peak Trudeau?

I

t’s easy to love Justin Trudeau. It’s easy to hate Justin Trudeau. He’s polarizing, not in a way that, say, Stephen Harper or Mike Harris were. But you either really dislike him, or believe him to be the second coming. Or you want to like him personally, but don’t jive with how he’s running things.

This past week, it all came to a head when he graced the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. And when you saw it, you either swooned or wretched. Or shook your head.

Granted, it was an American take on Trudeau, a “Why can’t he be our leader?” contrast with Donald Trump. (They even called the RCMP the Royal Canadian Mountain Police in an early draft ... whoops!)

Now, to be fair, other world leaders are more than capable of making complete fools of themselves, too. Ireland’s new leader, Leo Varadkar, went all fanboy on Justin on July 4 in Dublin when he proudly showed off his maple leaf socks for him, like a younger brother seeking big bro’s approval. Varadkar, in his first meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May, pointed to the spot at 10

Downing St. in London where Hugh Grant had done his dance routine in the 2003 movie Love, Actually. (“Cop yourself on, Leo,” Ireland’s answer to The Onion, Waterford Whispers, wrote.)

Russian leader Vladimir Putin has been going around topless in the summertime for years now.

On the one hand, who cares if Trudeau introduces a music act on Canada Day wearing a Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy T-shirt?

On the other hand, while there is a lot of spectacle and performance to be had in politics - and few do it better than Trudeau he is a fallible being who had let us down on many fronts (proportional representation, a muddy foreign policy, Omar Khadr, sky-high deficits.) One of the more damning lines about Trudeau’s cover story came from a Vancouver cartoonist, J.J. McCullough, writing in The Washington Post, who said, “It is the luxury of foreigners to treat politics of other countries as parable, entertainment, or escapist fantasy. Actually living in a country run by a social media celebrity is a lot less fun.”

Father’s idea ended in Mary and family running for cover

other said Father was playing with fire, and as it turned out, he was. It had to do with the constant annoyance of mosquitoes, which invaded us every summer. There was nothing we liked better at the end of a day, than to escape the heat of the house and move our kitchen chairs out in the backyard, and sit a spell as the night closed in around us. Mother would play her mouth organ, and my sister Audrey would sing, and off in the distance we might hear the frogs. My brother Everett, who could whistle better than anyone in Northcote, when coached would join Mother and Audrey.

If you weren’t sitting on a kitchen chair, you were on a

blanket on the ground, and since I was scared in the dark, I would sit as close to Mother as possible.

We wouldn’t be out there more than a few minutes when one after the other of us would be swatting our arms and bare legs, hoping to connect with the horde of mosquitoes laying in wait for us. Soon Mother would say, “Enough of this, those blessed mosquitoes are eating us alive.”

Then one night Father said he had an idea, and he vanished into the drive shed and lit the lantern. We had no idea what he was up to, but we could hear the hammer, and soon we could smell coal oil. We could faintly see his outline when he came out of the drive shed with

whoosh, like many people taking a big breath at the same time, and the whole thing burst into flames, and pieces of the feed bags flew everywhere.

The fire lit up the entire area, including the barn yard, and

the lantern in one hand and a long piece of wood wrapped at one end with piles of feed bags.

And it reeked to high heaven of coal oil.

Father told us to put our chairs in a circle, and once we settled down, he took a match from his pocket, scraped it along the thigh of his overalls, and touched the match to the coal oil soaked bags on the end of the piece of wood.

It sounded like a huge

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Reader: Khadr had no right to claim charter of rights protections DEAR EDITOR:

Mr. Long’s letter, ‘Reader supports Khadr settlement,’ was decidedly one-sided. In it he determined that all evidence and factors that justified an award of $10.5 million to Mr. Khadr were factual whereas all that detracted from it were mere suppositions. Three factors stand out in this regard. They were the claim that young Omar was a “child soldier”, that his “due process” Charter rights were infringed upon and

that he was “tortured” while imprisoned in Guantanamo.

Mr. Khadr was plucked from a foreign battlefield and was subject to the international laws of war – not the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In accordance with the related conventions in place at the time of his capture, Mr. Khadr was not a “child” soldier. At best, he could be considered a “youth” at the time of his capture but still eligible for treatment as an adult given the nature and severity of his crimes. Additionally, he could not be

considered a “soldier” under these same conventions as he was an “unlawful enemy combatant.” As such, he could not even be considered to be a “Prisoner of War” but, rather, an irregular subject to trial by military tribunal.

Canada, as a signatory to the Geneva Conventions that informed Khadr’s treatment, was neither obliged nor authorized to extend Charter protections to Khadr whilst he was an American captive. Indeed, related Canadian Forces’ doctrine dictates that the interrogation of combatants, unlawful

or not, shall always be conducted as if the subject had Prisoner of War status.

It is important to note that this status does not afford the prisoner a right to have a lawyer present during such interrogations. In the matter of torture, this same doctrine is adamant that a prisoner not be subjected to “unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment”. At the same time, however, it requires that allegations of ill-treatment be supported by evidence that establishes proof of such “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Allegations of torture in Khadr’s case were floated by an affidavit that originated with the Khadr legal team.

These allegations were investigated by the military judge, Patrick J. Parrish, who determined that no evidence After the cynical cruelty with rule of law, we need to protect those existed to support the numerous accusations.

us. We didn’t need a lantern to see our way. When we got inside, and Mother lit the lamp, we saw that Father’s straw hat was minus its front brim, and his face was blackened with soot. He went right to the wash basin on the bench at the back door.

Mother was determined that none of us should go to bed until the fire was out, but Father said it would burn itself out, and we had nothing to worry about. Mother wasn’t so sure. He was right of course. It didn’t take long for the feed bags to burn down. As for sitting out on a summer evening, that was the end of that. The mosquitoes

won the battle.

All that remained of Father’s idea was a half burnt stick of wood, a brown pile of burnt feed bags, and the smell of coal oil which lingered in the backyard for days. And just to remind us of Father’s attempt to rid us of the summer plague of mosquitoes was a circle of burnt grass right in the middle of the backyard.

target of mistreatment. This assessment was reinforced when video evidence was uncovered that proved Khadr took part in the building and implanting of Improvised Explosive Devices. It was at this point that Khadr refused to take the stand and subject his claims of torture to cross examination. It was also at this point that he confessed to his crimes.

At the end of the day, Khadr was an unlawful enemy combatant who confessed his crimes due to the evidence against him – not because he was tortured. He had no right to claim Charter protections and should have been prosecuted for treason upon his return to Canada. The fact that he was not was a disservice to Canada and those charged with her defense.

New manager for Perth Best Western Plus with new ideas The Perth Best Western Plus Parkside Inn and Spa welcomes new general manager, Dale Gagne.

He comes to the area from Pembroke, where he was the GM for the Best Western there for 10 years.

“I love it here,” he said. “Perth is a great town. I have visited here many times in the past.”

He said he jumped at the chance to work here.

The personable manager said he looks forward to the day he can move to Perth, as he has his Victorian home for sale in Pembroke.

Gagne said he’s impressed with the Perth hotel and hopes to create an even broader scope of perks that guests will enjoy once they come to town.

“I want to reach out to international guests, and we’ve been working with the Ontario H i g h l a n d ’s To u r i s m Organization to attract t h o s e tourists,” he said. One possible option is LeBoat.

Le Boat, a

Dale Gagne - General Manager

multi-million dollar luxury self-guided tour boat company will set up headquarters on the Rideau Canal in Smiths Falls in the spring of 2018. Gagne is looking forward to working with the Ontario Highlands Tourism Organization and Le Boat to do so.

“We’re in preliminary stages with this plan and I’m really looking forward to see what options there are,” Gagne said.

There are ‘Stay-and-Play’ packages offered to customers, where they book a stay at the hotel and play a round of golf. There are several golf courses in the area with whom the hotel collaborates to offer guests even more options during their stay-over in Perth.

“We’re going to be working with Perth Outfitters and offer a new package, Parkside and Paddle,” he said. This option will allow guests the opportunity to have some outdoor fun at Perth Outfitters, which offers paddling, mini-golf and a trail used as a skating rink in winter, and go-kart or pedal bike path during the summer.

Guests to the Best Western Plus hotel will notice the addition of Slackoni’s Parkside Bistro and the biggest patio in Perth, which overlooks the street to the front and the Tay Canal to the side. The intimate space is secluded and will host a series of outdoor music during the summer months.

On Fridays there will be live music on the patio, and on Thursday – once a month – there will be jazz artists performing inside the restaurant.

This pairs nicely with the addition of the Slackoni’s Bistro where guests and the public in general can come and dine.

Celebrating five years since the hotel’s rebirth in 2012, the Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn

and Spa has received several awards during that time.

The awards received includes: The Best Western Champion Award, the Chairman’s Award, and the Certificate of Excellence – Diamond Rating from Trip Advisor, and the Green Hotel Champion Award.

“We’re on par for the Best Western Champion Design Award,” Gagne said. “This is a prestigious award and we’re eligible this year because we are in the top 20 per cent of Best Western Hotels across Canada.”

Gagne said he hopes to entice more week night travellers to stop at the hotel for an evening’s stay.

He would like to see more weddings booked, as Perth is known as one of the top wedding venues in Ontario.

“I’d like to see more conference business and spa packages too,” he said, as guests can enjoy the comfort and perks of a spa treatment at the Parkside Inn and Spa. Complete with Aveda beauty products, the spa and hair salon is a full service wellness destination, said Barb Hands, manager of the Parkside Inn and Spa. Guests can enjoy the luxury of a sip and spa menu which includes a massage and a nice glass of Merlot; a foot-cure and a beer, or even martini and a pedicure.

With an indoor pool, hot tub and spa, private massage rooms for couples, it’s a perfect honeymoon destination.

“We really want this to be a four-season destination hotel,” Gagne said. “And by partnering with local businesses and tourism associations we hope to achieve that goal in the coming years.”

Rideau Lakes Township will take part in Open Doors Aug. 19 and 20 STAFF

If you haven’t been inside the UNESCO heritage lockmaster’s building along the Rideau Canal, or the revamped Opinicon in Chaffey’s Lock, or inside the stately William Bell House in Delta, then now is the chance to have a look.

Rideau Lakes Township is gearing up for Doors Open Aug. 19 and 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with 18 stops along the way. It's part of Doors Open Ontario, under Ontario Heritage Trust.

Why not make a day of it and spend your afternoon travelling the scenic roads throughout the township?

EAT IT!

Choose foods produced organically, locally and in season.

Support your regional farmers and farming industry: buying locally and in season is better for the environment than buying foods that have been shipped hundreds of kilometers to your local market.

Stops include Barnyard Gardens in Portland. Originally, two brothers farmed these 100 acres; one family farm was located behind the other with a laneway leading to the back farm.

This laneway forms an integral part of the studding gardens that now surround the 1885 home and the barn, which was built in the 1940s. This property is located at 9139 County Road 42.

The Opinicon, located at 1697 Chaffey’s Lock Road in Elgin, has been lovingly restored by new owners. Beloved by generations of anglers and vacationers, this iconic resort has undergone substantial upgrades while

maintaining its original early- and mid-20th century charm. Take an inside tour at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and hear the stories behind this gem of the Rideau. If you plan to stay for lunch, it’s recommended you make reservations.

Wykes Boat Works in Harlem, located at 2551 Harlem Road will have award-winning boat works on display.

In the 1950s, Frank Wykes began making pine plank, flat-bottomed fishing boats for local tourism operators.

Come see this third generation family business that is still crafting new boats and restoring antique wooden vessels – many of which are displayed at boat shows throughout North America.

City Stream Watch targets Upper Carp, Huntley creeks for potential flooding Two creeks in the City of Ottawa are the focus of this year’s City Stream Watch program. Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority staff, summer students and volunteers have spent the month of July obtaining, recording and managing valuable information on the physical and biological characteristics of Upper Carp and Huntley creeks.

“The goal of City Stream Watch

is to ensure creeks and streams in the City of Ottawa are respected and valued natural features of the communities through which they flow,” said Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) biologist Kelly Stiles. “We’ve targeted 2.2 km of Upper Carp Creek and 15 km of Huntley Creek. The data collected will help identify any changes in the quality and quantity of water resources in the

area over the long term and help target future stewardship efforts.”

Monitoring also allows for staff and volunteers to take note of other factors that affect the creeks, such as invasive species.

“We have noticed a lot of Himalayan balsam along Carp Creek, as well as poison parsnip.

"Huntley is much more diverse, but we’ve had instances of rusty cray-

fish, buckthorn, poison parsnip and purple loosestrife,” said MVCA summer student Robyn Chatwin-Davies.

“Removal of invasive species is slated for later this summer including Himalayan balsam along Upper Carp Creek and dog-strangling vine along Shirley’s Brook.”

MVCA is part of the City Stream Watch Collaborative formed in 2014 that consists of dedicated environ-

mental organizations, including Rideau Valley and South Nation conservation authorities and other interested groups.

Logging 82 hours already this summer, volunteers are an integral part of the program’s success.

To become a volunteer or for more information, contact Kelly Stiles at 613-253-0006 ext. 234 or email kstiles@mvc.on.ca.

Seeking new sites for 1000 Islands, Rideau Canal Garden Trail The garden trail selection committee for the 1000 Islands and Rideau Canal is looking to include more gardens in its nationally recognized garden trail. Building on its Canada 150 Garden Experience recognition, the committee is looking to expand its existing 14 gardens throughout Leeds Grenville.

“The gardens that are currently on the trail have been chosen for their beauty, uniqueness and great design,” says Laurie Wight, chair of the garden trail selection committee. “Our goal is to educate visitors and leaving them wanting to see more in the region.”

The garden trail members enjoy meeting and exchanging garden ideas with visitors from across North America and beyond.

The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Economic Development Office works with the trail members in promoting the experience.

“Gardens are considered to be either key motivators for travelling, and enhancements for a destination,” says Ann Weir, economic development manager. “Visitors typically go for a meal afterwards or do some shopping, bringing new revenues into the region.“ A mix of private, public and garden centre displays are part of the garden trail. These include: • Diane & Keith Haskins • Gardens of Gananoque, Gananoque • Wilstead Manor Gardens, Leeds and the Thousand Islands • Ivy Lea Club, Lansdowne • Chillane Gardens, Mallorytown • Garden of Hope and Faith Walk, Lyn • Fulford Place, Brockville • Maitland Garden of Hope, Maitland • Van Berlo Gardens, Maitland

• Shakespeare’s Gardens, Prescott • Healing Circle Labyrinth, Johnstown • Machal Gardens, Spencerville • A Labour of Love, Oxford Station • Rideau Woodland Ramble, North Grenville A brochure and map with details on the 1000 Islands and Rideau Canal Garden Trail can be found at www. gardentrail.1000islandsand

rideaucanal.com. Gardens interested in participating in next year’s trail can check out the trail’s criteria online or contact Laurie Wight at 613-923-5799 or email lauriewight@hotmail.com.

Brochures are also available at participating sites and various tourism centres throughout the region.

A brand-new, 2,400 year old musical at Full Circle Theatre When a young playwright named Aristophanes watched the very first performance of his satirical play Lysistrata on a spring day in Athens, Greece in 411 B.C., he had no idea that it would be adapted into a musical comedy and performed in Perth, Ontario in 2017. Mostly because he had no idea that anything west of Italy existed.

Nevertheless, Perth's BarnDoor Productions has taken his 2,400 year old comedy and turned it into a fast, funny, tuneful, more than a little shocking and thoroughly entertaining musical. Their new musical comedy adaptation will reach the stage at Full Circle Theatre next week, and it's a rip-roaring finale to the group's 22nd

season.

Way back then, Greece was in the middle of a thirty year war between Athens and Sparta. Aristophanes' play was intended as a cautionary tale to try to bring peace back to "Helles," as Greece called itself at the time. He imagined a strong and clever woman named Lysistrata (pronounced simply "Liss-iss-straw-taw" by the way; nothing fancy) who persuades all the women in Greece to join her in a protest against the war. All they have to do is refuse sex to their husbands and the men will have to give in. Oh, and they take over the Acropolis and lock themselves in to accomplish it.

BarnDoor Productions has brought together a cast of nearly twenty to

bring this new-old story to life. From BDP veterans to BDP newcomers to people on stage for the first time in their lives, it's a mix of enthusiasm and experience that keeps the show fast and funny and fun. Combined with a set of all-original costumes, it's a big, colourful, music-filled show.

Like the script and costumes, the music for this show is all original and it ranges from Broadway-style jazz numbers to adaptations of a couple of songs that actually date back to the time of Aristophanes' original production. The show opens with a big chorus number (gee, a Greek play opening with a big chorus; who'd have thought?) extolling the virtues of "Athens — in the weird old, strange

old classical days"; the women explain Lysistrata's Plan, with a chorus that concludes "They cannot stand for long, if they have to stand for long"; the Entrance of the Chorus shows Aristophanes' clever theatrical innovation — a chorus split into two choruses and arguing with each other; Lysistrata then puts the men in their political place with Shut Your Mouth — We'll Mind Your Business before Lysistrata sings a lament for her husband, away at war, which is based on the oldest known complete song. In the second act, the two choruses tell about their personal heroes in O, Melanion; one of Lysistrata's rebellious women teases her husband into agreeing to a peace treaty in Baby, I'm Not

Saying I Don't Love You; Lysistrata and the women tell the politicians how to make peace in My Mama Never ... and the whole company rejoice for the peace that is finally concluded with Io Paean, a Greek phrase which actually means "Joy To The World." Oh, and there's lots more music in and around those numbers.

We'll give everyone fair warning: this is based on a 2,428 year old play that deals with sex. It was intentionally outrageous back in 411 B.C. — it's intentionally outrageous today.

And maybe shocking. And definitely hugely funny. And has maybe just a little message in it that would be very good for everyone to hear today.

Did we mention that it's funny?

Recent letter on ignitions and gears continues to draw responses “Hi Brian, I read all of your columns in the Almonte Canadian Gazette. I was very interested in the recent ones pertaining to the Mazda problem of turning their vehicle off while still in drive (transmission shifter).

So I thought I would see what would happen doing the same thing with my 2016 Kia Sportage. First, I was amazed that it did turn the engine off. The radio stayed on and a small icon of a vehicle with a key lit up on the dash. The chime did ring when I opened the door. My driveway slopes down to the street and the vehicle immediately started rolling backwards down the driveway. My back up camera is off and I cannot see if anyone is behind me. To me, this is a safety hazard.

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

If this situation is the same with other makes, maybe it should be raised with Transport Canada.”

Thank you, PB Thanks for the readership and comments. It's interesting that Mazda and Kia (along with Transport Canada and the US's NHTSA –National Highway Traffic and Safety Association) found these configurations safe (they approved them after all), yet Jeep recalled some of their late model

SUV's and Ram pick-ups that were equipped with rotary dial transmission shifters and push-button starters.

That recall involved reprogramming a number of on-board computers to automatically shift the transmission to park if the ignition was turned off without first shifting to park, or if the door was opened without the brake pedal being depressed and without the shifter knob in park. Of course all that happened after a young actor in Hollywood was killed by his Jeep when it rolled back and pinned him against a pillar.

That type of software update wouldn't be available to vehicles with normal gear-lever shifters as there's no electrical way to shift the lever to park without some major redesign.

But keep in mind for decades you

could switch off any key-operated ignition switch and pull the key out without shifting to park. And you can do the same on any modern vehicle that still uses a key operated ignition switch (you just can't remove the key until you shift to park). And what of manual transmissions that you can leave in any gear or none at all?

My current ride uses a push-button start with an automatic transmission and yes once or twice I've been thoughtless enough to switch off the engine before putting the transmission in park, but the chimer and warning light quickly brought that to my attention before I could reach for the door handle. Remember no vehicle is safe unless it's operated by a qualified driver who’s paying attention to the task at hand.

LAWS yard sale nets $1,100 for the animals in Lanark County We would like to thank all the staff, volunteers, and the people who came out to support another successful LAWS yard sale last Saturday. We raised a big $1,100 to go toward our Shelter Capital Campaign. A special thank you to Josh and Jared our two chefs who did a great job with the barbecue.

This is an early notice for low-cost rabies vaccination clinics being run by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit on Wednesday Sept.

13 and Wednesday Sept. 20 from 2 to 6 p.m. The cost will be $20, HST included, cash only. The clinics will be held at a number of veterinary clinics and several municipal buildings and fire halls in the area. More information to follow nearer the date.

Featured pets Kitten season is in full swing and lots of our kittens have already found homes. But we also have a bunch of wonderful young adults at the shelter who would like furever homes too.

They all live in the runs at the shelter and are peacefully sharing their living space with each other.

This Week’s Pets Leena is two years old, a slim sleek black beauty who thinks she is a jungle cat. She loves to be up high on the climbing structures in her run but she will gladly come down for the attention she craves. She loves to be stroked but is not comfortable being held for long.

Matthew

Matthew is nearly three years old, another glossy black cat but quite a bit bigger than Leena. He is very laid back, usually found snoozing in the sunshine. He is friendly and undemanding but enjoys attention and cuddles.

Lacey

Leena

Lacey is two years old and was featured a few weeks ago. At that time she was still quite shy but she is now much more trusting and has turned into a complete cuddle-bug. She especially likes tummy-rubs. She is medium-hair, her silky fur is short and neat in front getting longer toward the back with a beautiful bushy tail.

Dainty little Daphne is three years old, a tabby and white shorthair so small everyone thinks she must still be a kitten. She is very friendly, and quite vocal in her demands for attention.

She is active and playful and loves to cuddle.

Daphne

Nate

Nate is a handsome two-year old male harlequin tabby. He loves attention and will take it from whoever is offering it. He is gentle and friendly, enjoys tummy-rubs and cuddles.

Wish list Friskies Pate canned cat food, paper towels, toilet paper, disposable vinyl gloves (Frank's are ideal, from Canadian Tire), postage stamps.

Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like at www. facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or check out our website at lanarkanimals.com.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.com or by calling 613-283-9308. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

Heightened security has to include common sense In June, following two deadly terror incidents in England, I wrote a column about the need for beefed up security and the fact that, as part of the “new normal”, we will simply have to suck it up and be prepared to deal with increased scrutiny at public venues, airports or when we cross into the neighbouring United States.

A number of readers responded by email, including one who feels that at this point increased security is “window dressing” and if we want to continue to have an open and free society we will be vulnerable to terror attacks.

Another of my respondents feels that increasing security requirements is just a “convenient way for the government to monitor citizens” which, he says, means our freedom is already being squeezed.

Personally I’m not the least bit paranoid or upset about having to deal with higher levels of security at airports, border crossings or public events. To me, the mere fact there is a greater emphasis being placed on the safety of Canadians is a good thing. Seeing a larger security presence in locations that are the most likely places to be targeted by terrorists is comforting somehow.

In the June column I mentioned my recent visits to Parliament Hill in Ottawa and the very apparent measures taken to improve safety in and around our main seat of government. Security on The Hill was increased significantly in the wake of the October 2014 terror attacks in the nation’s capital, during which a member of the ceremonial guard at the National War Memorial was shot to death.

The lone gunman managed to make it into the rotunda of the nearby Centre Block before being shot and killed by security personnel.

Those incidents were a huge wake-up call and major changes have been instituted.

Recently we have seen another side of the security dilemma that will have to be carefully considered and dealt with if we intend to establish an effective safety net in this country and on this continent.

On July 1 Canadians marked our nation’s sesquicentennial. As it is every Canada Day, Parliament Hill in Ottawa was the main focal point for the celebrations. Politicians, including the prime minister, were in attendance and the guest list included the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall (Prince Charles and his wife Camilla) who represented Queen Elizabeth II at the historic Ottawa events.

Since then there has been a significant public hue and cry about what is being called “the security fiasco” that surrounded the Parliament Hill activities.

Security nightmare Most recently former Ottawa Mayor Jim Durrell, a well-respected businessman and community leader, weighed in on the subject. Durrell went as far as to suggest that if officials intend to employ the same kind of security arrangement in future “there is no point” holding Canada Day activities on the Hill. Based on everything I have heard and read about the security problems that occurred during the Canada 150 activities in Ottawa, I have to agree.

The problems developed because the tens of thousands who were bound for the Parliament Hill observances had to go through “airportlike security screening” in order to gain admittance

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

to the grounds. In the process they were funneled through a long network of barriers which meant people had to stand for hours with no access to washrooms or food and with nowhere to sit.

The process became so lengthy and the system was so overburdened that eventually thousands were either turned off or turned away. In the end only a fraction of the usual crowd made it inside the secure area to take part in the festivities.

To make matters worse for everyone involved our summer of rain heavily impacted July 1 celebrations across the region. We live in Carleton Place where the day’s activities had to be relocated from Riverside Park, the usual location, inside the local arena.

Parliament Hill was just as saturated as everywhere else around here and those who did manage to successfully navigate security landed in a mud bowl of epic proportions. It was so bad that the federal government is spending six figures just to try and regenerate (resod) the areas of Parliament Hill where the crowd churned what little was left of the grass into a slimy mess.

There is a huge lesson in all of this, not just for Ottawa but for every community where major public events require heightened security.

Former mayor Durrell also points out — and quite rightly — that the system of barriers actually created an attractive alternate target for any would-be terrorist(s). A bomb detonated in such a location could have taken a catastrophic human toll. Equal to, or worse perhaps, than a similar attack on Parliament Hill itself.

People I know who were there that day and others I know who work in proximity to Parliament Hill, including my son, also complained about the length of the security setup in downtown Ottawa.

Busy streets were cordoned off for days, not hours, which created massive traffic headaches for thousands of people who had no intention of attending the July 1 ceremonies. In fact the security setup kept untold numbers away from the area on Canada Day. In this case they were very astute I would say!

The bottom line here is that despite good intentions, planning clearly went awry. Lessons should be learned and some common sense applied in future. Or, as Durrell and many others have said since, don’t bother holding events in high target areas. It’s not worth it. Imagine how much it cost taxpayers for a “system” that fell well short of the mark.

To paraphrase Mr. Durrell’s final observation on this subject, “Terrorists 1 — General Public 0.”

Take a “Ghost Walk” at Heritage House Museum, if you dare

If you’re into spooky stories and local history, Heritage House Museum has got you covered.

The museum is offering ghost walks where patrons will get to hear a story in each room of the Victorian-era home as they make their Your #1 stop for all way through the tour.

The entire script is based on oral tradition your in the area, explained Maria Fournier, herself automotive needs! a Canadian history buff, who works as a program co-ordinator at the museum.

Beside Drummond’s “It’s a fun way to share different tales that Gas Station have been passed down through generations 63 1/2 Lombard Street in Smiths Falls and the surrounding area,” she said.

Adam Berrigan 613-283-7722 The stories told during the ghost walks include tales from Smiths Falls and the surrounding region, as well as the museum itself – cue the goosebumps.

Sewer lines given all-clear in Montague Atironto’s sewer lines were given their 15 minutes in the spotlight during a recent closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection.

With support from Infrastructure Canada’s Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF) and the Ontario Government, the Township of Montague arranged for Atironto’s sanitary sewer lines to receive a CCTV inspection and cleaning. Inspectors from XSite Enterprises used CCTV to visualize the interiors of the sewer lines and determine their structural and operational integrity. Completed in June 2017, the inspection confirmed that Atironto’s sewer lines are in very good condition and running well.

More than two kilometres of sewer lines in Atironto were assessed by CCTV and thoroughly flushed clean.

From page SF1

The stories move from a hyper local to more regional, including stories about the “Ghost Scare” of 1927 and the story of Oliver’s Ferry, hypothetically the first murderer on the Rideau.

In the Victorian home’s parlor – where wakes were historically held – will be the scene for a local community-centric story.

Interestingly, Joshua Bates, the original builder of what is now the Heritage House Museum, only lived in the house for six months before he passed away. His wake was likely held in the home’s parlour, as per tradition of the time.

“Here we get into the stories of things people have told us,” she said.

“Even in the last tour we got four new stories that we could potentially add (to the tour).”

Fournier said that if stories are told about people who are still alive or homes that are still lived in, the museum doesn’t divulge names or places for confidentiality.

Though Fournier immerses herself in supernatural stories, she said she hasn’t experienced any ghost herself, despite hearing other stories from staff and students working there.

“Maybe they don’t like me,” she joked.

However, some of the students working at the museum reported some “creepy” feelings they’ve had in the museum itself.

As part of the same program, the 27 valves in the water/wastewater system also received routine maintenance this month. Exercising the valves allowed the township to assess their condition and improve asset management.

These projects were completed as part of the Township of Montague’s commitment to ensuring clean, safe water for its residents. Regular inspection and cleaning of the sewer lines will be conducted every five years to maintain their condition.

The Canada-Ontario CWWF agreement assists municipalities in Ontario by funding projects that the individual municipalities have identified as being of benefit to their water and wastewater systems.

Submitted by the Township of Montague.

“I feel a little uneasy around the staircase,” said Ayden Tucker, a student at Smiths Fall District Collegiate Institute. “They’re creepy.”

The stories used by the museum for their program were collected a number of years ago.

Fournier encourages people that might have stories or experiences to share to contact the museum.

In 2008, the Canadian Haunting and Paranormal Society did an investigation with the museum and reported some “activity” such as temperature variations, a door closed that was normally open and other sounds. However, no solid evidence was “caught.”

In order to make the experience more open, the museum has brought down barriers blocking guests’ access, so they are able to explore rooms with ease this summer.

“You get to sit down and hear tales ...” said Fournier. “It’s a bit more welcoming that way.”

Bringing down the barriers is not exclusive to the ghost walk, but a new approach taken by the museum to have guests interact with history.

“It’s been extremely well received,” said Fournier. “It’s nice when we do tours like this, it’s an added bonus.”

This ghost walks started on July 13, and will finish Aug. 3. The last scheduled ghost walk is set for Thursday, Aug. 3, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Speeding has been a concern on Harold Street for some time. Now, council is taking action.

Smiths Falls town council supported staff’s recommendation to implement the town's first traffic calming project to help curb concerning driving behaviour on Harold Street at their committee of the whole meeting on Monday, July 24.

The traffic calming measures will include the removal of centreline markings, the installation of two speed humps and accompanying signs, as well as the installation of a new cross walk and all-way stop at Harold Street and Ferrara Drive.

The intention is to make drivers conscious of their speed to reduce it.

And with council’s support, the traffic calming measures are expected to be installed this summer.

The decision to take on speed issues on Harold Street comes after various studies and public consultation – including a community meeting in April.

In September last year, Troy Dunlop, director of public works and utilities, presented findings of a traffic study on Harold Street after residents spoke out about their concerns with ongoing speeding issues on the street in the spring of 2016.

The study found that 24 per cent of the vehicles travelling on Harold Street were speeding above the posted speed limit of 50 km/h.

This means Harold Street is in the 85th percentile of speed, and according to town staff means “reasonable” people should change their behaviour when traffic calming measures when implemented.

It is this statistic that indicated that Harold Street would meet the triggers for a traffic calming review under the policies of many Ontario communities.

However, issues on Harold Street have been “long-standing."

Speeding concerns from the community date back to 2008, according to a presentation made by the town at the public consultation in April.

And in 2015, residents organized and presented numerous concerns at a delegation to the town’s traffic advisory committee. Their concerns included the lack of stop signs, heavy trucks, crossing street to access mail, rolling stops at Broadview Street and the inability to cross at Broadview Street and also at Ferrara Drive.

As part of the public consultation this year, town staff received feedback that called for speed humps/signs, all-way stop and crosswalk at Ferrara Drive and Harold Street, and removal of the yellow centreline. In addition to those suggestions, others included the request for crosswalks on Harold Street, at Lee Avenue, Code Crescent or both; reduce posted speed limit to 40 km/h; install a three-way stop at Lee Avenue, Code Crescent or both; restrict truck traffic; post “Children at Play” signs; install a barrier curb; paint parking spaces; add side walk on west/south side, and reduce traffic volume on the street.

Though these concerns were heard, particularly the vocal concern for the reduction in traffic volume – as emphasized by Harold Street resident, Ed Lawrence, who came before council as a delegation, the focus of these measurers is speed.

Lawrence said while Dunlop’s suggestions are welcomed, he believes if the town is going to move forward to address traffic concerns, they should “do it right” and address volume as well as speed.

“It’s dangerous and somebody’s going to get hurt,” he said.

Lawrence voiced concern about non-local drivers who “don’t care” and drive recklessly on Harold Street.

The average number of vehicles that travel per day along Harold Street is 4,300, with an average of 350 vehicles per hour, according to the annual average presented by town staff.

Dunlop said that these traffic calming measures and the objective of this project is to reduce speeds on Harold Street, not decrease volume. However, he did add that sometimes with the implementation of traffic calming measures, volumes can indirectly be reduced.

Right now, he said, the measure will be whether or not the speeds are reducing.

Dunlop reported to council that if nothing is done to reduce speeds on Harold Street, the problematic driving behaviour may continue to increase along the corridor, with recurring complains and pressures for increased enforcement.

The Public Works and Utilities Department currently has an allocation of $15,000 in the approved 2017 budget for traffic calming measures on Harold Street. That money, according to a town report brought forward to council on July 24, will be “sufficient” to carry out the recommended traffic calming improvements council has supported.

Trial date set in Cathcart case for 2018

BY EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

A trial date has been set in the case of Blair Cathcart, a former Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute teacher who was charged with various sex-related offences last summer.

The trial date has been set for March 19, 2018, and will take place at the courthouse in Perth.

Cathcart faces 12 counts of sex-related crimes. He was originally charged by police with six counts of sexual assault, five counts of sexual interference, and one count of sexual exploitation.

Police started the investigation into Cathcart on June 10, 2016. The investigation concluded 10 days later with Cathcart’s arrest. Since his arrest on June 20, 2016, Cathcart, then 36 years old, has been suspended by the Upper Canada District School Board.

Cathcart’s case will be in court on Jan. 11, 2018 for a pre-trial motion.

The Cathcart case had a preliminary hearing in June at the Perth courthouse and a judicial pretrial on Friday, Jan. 27.

These charges and allegations against Cathcart have not been proven in court. This case is also covered by a publication ban.

Construction values in Smiths Falls have risen by over 400 per cent in the last two years.

Between 2015 and 2017, construction values have skyrocketed from $3,483,353 to $18,025,887, according to a report presented to the town’s council at their committee of the whole meeting on Monday, July 24.

Kerry Costello, the town’s clerk and director of corporate services, explained that the jump in construction values has to do with the major ongoing projects, including the development at Tweed, the construction of the new Catholic elementary school on Ross Street, the development of 14 new apartments at 2 Gould St., and new homes being constructed by the developer Park View Homes.

Costello reported that as of June 30, 2017, the town has reaped $232,627.24 from permit fees.

Permits issued to date include one new commercial and institutional build, 12 commercial and institutional renovations, four industrial renovations, two new multi-unit residential builds and two renovations on multiunit residential designated buildings, eight new and 15 renovations on single residential buildings, and one demolition permit, for a total of 45 issued permits in 2017.

According to the town’s report presented by Costello, at the start of 2017 there were 239 open permits from prior years, but as of June 30, the town has closed 44 permits from prior years, leaving 195 permits open. The number of open permits continues to be a priority for the department, Costello said.

North Bay and Sudbury. The municipality has a population of 1,269 and an average of 15 calls per year.

The request was made by fire Chief Normand Beauchamp to enter into a five-year agreement with St-Charles at Smiths Falls’ committee of the whole meeting on Monday, July 24.

In return, the department is projected to bring in an additional $17,700 in fees; $1,586.25 in 2017, $3,900 in 2018, $3,990 in 2019, $4,070 in 2020, and $4,150 in 2021.

Beauchamp’s report put before

council outlines that St-Charles will be required to cover all required costs to connect their communication system to the system in Smiths Falls.

Beauchamp said that the department is “actively on the market” and has been since the fall of 2015. He said increasing the amount of fire departments using the local dispatching service could help offset the operating costs of the Smiths Falls Fire Department.

The career firefighters at the department have expertise in fire dis-

patching and have done so since 2006.

According to a study done by the fire chief in 2017, as outlined in the report presented to council on July 24, it’s possible with the current resources to dispatch an average of 12 calls per day; the department is only currently dispatching three calls per day.

The fire department currently provides fire dispatching services for a population of 78,000; only 60,000 are part of the Fire Dispatching Contract with Lanark County.

Beauchamp said his department

will continue to look for opportunities to offer dispatching services to other municipalities, and specifically more municipalities in the St-Charles area.

Beauchamp said the search for new contracts follows from the Service Sustainability Review undertaken by the department. The Service Sustainability Reviews have been and are still being conducted by various departments within the Town of Smiths Falls to try and identify cost-savings and revenue generation opportunities.

Smiths Falls/Perth bridge clubs welcome new member from Waterloo

BY IRIS WINSTON

Playing bridge in Smiths Falls and Perth has taken up a good part of Waterloo resident Loretta Molodecki’s summer.

“We’re here because my husband and I bought a cottage on Big Rideau Lake,” she says.

“He grew up in Smiths Falls and really wanted to come back in the summers. He’s a keen fisherman and always loved the fishing in this area.”

And while Marian Molodecki was busy fishing, his wife decided to visit the local duplicate bridge clubs.

“I first fell in love with the game when I was in high school,” says Loretta, an Acadian who grew up in Halifax.

“We had a games club and I really enjoyed the challenge of bridge. But after going to university in Ontario, I didn’t play much for a number of years.”

The hiatus for the busy kindergarten teacher stretched to four decades and it wasn’t until a couple of years ago that a friend’s enthusiasm for duplicate bridge prompted her to take lessons at her local club, the Grand River Bridge Club in Waterloo, that she became keen to learn more.

Her renewed interest, com-

bined with purchasing a cottage in the area and the fact that Smiths Falls Duplicate Bridge Club manager Don Grant and his wife, Ivy, were offering free lessons through the summer, were the opening she needed.

“I have found the lessons very helpful,” says Loretta.

“Everyone has been so encouraging and patient. The games are really enjoyable and every hand is a challenge and a mental workout.”

“When you move to a new community it’s very encouraging to have people call you and want to partner you,” she adds.

“What I find so exciting about both the Smiths Falls and Perth clubs is that I come in contact with a lot of people who are very skilful players Even though I have just a few points, they are still willing to play with me. I am really impressed with how welcoming everyone has been and how they go out of their way to find me partners and make me feel at home.”

The Smiths Falls Duplicate Bridge Club meets Monday evenings and Tuesday afternoons. The Perth Duplicate Bridge Club meets Thursday Submitted by Janice Hatina evenings.

Conversations over failing sump pumps

M

Osprey-eye

Submitted by Dave Pringle

Our regularly-contributing reader, Dave Pringle, photographed this young osprey in a diving swoop for food on the Rideau Canal.

First place anglers

om needs a hobby, or a boyfriend, or maybe a job … possibly a nice little apartment somewhere close to her kids and grandkids. Or all of the above.

She’s bored, she told me Sunday when sweet baby and I made our fifth visit to her place in two days. There would be six trips in total by the end of Sunday.

I love my mother and all that, but six trips to the “Centre” (as the hamlet was called back in the day) of Rideau Lakes Township over the course of two days may be what one may consider extreme.

It all started with the excessive amounts of rain we’ve been getting. It seems to be putting a damper on many lives, not just those who rely on the weather for a perfectly timed crop, or those lucky enough to live on the waterfront that have been not-so-lucky sandbagging for most of the spring.

Mom lives near a little creek that runs through the hamlet as it catches the back of her property.

Those banks overflowed last week with the latest downpour that didn’t have anywhere to go for a while. Well, it went somewhere all right – right into Mom’s basement.

Her sump pump was working like a mad horse. Until it wasn’t. She had a small flood up to the woodstove on the other side of the basement. Not a finished basement, but Dad’s tools are still down there and although the woodstove has been long out of commission, it was still a sopping mess.

Sweet baby came to the rescue. He soon discovered that the submersible pump was on its last legs. So off we went to the hardware store and got a new one. They were on sale. Probably be OK for what your mother needs, sweet baby reasoned. It was about $100 cheaper than the other type, so we went with the sale model.

Trip number two, sweet baby installed the pump and had the water draining out of there in no time. Then the thing wouldn’t stop running. It got hot. He jerry-rigged some stabilizing pieces of wood into place and it kicked off. Then it kicked on again once the hole filled with water – and shut off like it was supposed to. Problem solved … until it wasn’t.

Later that night, Mom called.

“It’s not working and it’s getting really hot,” she said.

The tournament was held on the Big Rideau Lake over the weekend of July 29-30 – the first time the tournament has been held in the local area. DeVos weighed in at 16.14 lbs on Saturday and a 20.14 lbs on Sunday. Spadea weighed in around 18 lbs on Saturday and 13.7 lbs on Sunday.

LAURIE WEIR Weir View “We’re on our way.”

“You said to call if it wasn’t working.”

“Of course … no problem. We’re coming.”

Sweet baby went back to work to re-stabilize the beast since Mother had given it a good shake to get it to kick off. She probably beat the thing – I would have.

“It seems to be working,” he said.

He’d been down in the basement for a little longer than anticipated.

“What are you doing – bailing the water out the window?” I asked.

“Funny … no, it’s working now. Just don’t touch it.”

Home by 11 p.m. and crashed.

Sunday morning, Mom had called and left a message long before I got up.

It’s not working. I unplugged it about 3 a.m. It got too hot. The water’s not coming in like it was, but I think that pump is a dud.

An hour later we were back on the road to Mom’s place. Trip number four on this bright and sunny day – at least the water was drying up a little in the yard.

Sweet baby took out the pump, boxed it up and went back to the hardware store. We explained what the pump was doing and exchanged it with a new one; same make and model. Hopefully, it wasn’t another dud. Sweet baby said he thought it may have been a bad one as the box had been opened. He didn’t think much about it until after the fact.

“Probably someone else had the same trouble with it,” he said.

Pump number two didn’t take him as long to get hooked up. He rigged up a more permanent stabilizing contraption and soon it was humming away doing what it was supposed to be doing.

While he was installing the pump, Mom and I had a visit on the front deck. It’s a place where problems are solved and the weight of the world has been unloaded over the years. The view is something I will never get tired of looking at.

Man arrested in connection with domestic assault Police have arrested a man in connection with a domestic assault in January.

Shortly before midnight on Friday July 29, police located and arrested a 24-year-old man. Police said the man's partner had been assaulted at a Smiths Falls home six months ago.

He is charged with assault, assault with a weapon and breaching his probation order and was held for a bail hearing.

The Smiths Falls Police Service urges anyone with further information regarding this incident, or similar incidents, to call 613-283-0357. Information may be provided anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

From page SF8

“How would you like to live here,” she said. “I want to move out of here and get a little apartment.”

Maybe find herself a nice man friend and volunteer at Sophie’s school, I suggested.

Hmm … sounds like she’s been thinking about this. Dad’s been gone a dozen years now. It would be nice to see her in a fun relationship. Now I sounded like the parent. “Just stay off the danged Internet if you’re looking for love,” I told her. “We know where that goes! And what about the condo?”

(That’s what I’ve affectionately called my grandmother’s place in which I’ve been living in for the past three years.)

“Sell it,” she said.

And just like that, she’s got me thinking about moving back home – with sweet baby, the wild canine, Lexi, and the boss cat, Jack.

“You will have to take your cats with you,” I said. “Lexi will have them for lunch.”

As sweet baby and I made our way home from the fifth trip to Mom’s place, I told him what we were talking about.

He’s all for living in the country, in a bigger place with a bigger yard, and even bigger reno projects. It will keep him out of trouble – he may even get to retire sooner rather than later.

“Let’s do it,” he said.

“I’ll tell her when I go back there later tonight.”

He looked at me like I had six heads.

Another trip?

“I have to pick up my photos from Delta fair,” I said.

“OK, I’ll check on the pump again … should be good.”

VINES Liddon Ernest

Passed away peacefully at the Montfort Hospital on Wednesday July 26, 2017 at the age of 85.

Beloved husband of Phyllis for over 60 years.

Loving and devoted father of Debbie (Eric), Steven (Wendy), Cindy (Steve) and Laurie (John). Very proud grandfather of Jennah, Michael, Paige, Sabrina, Brienna, Kesia, Cody, Jess, Nicole and Leah. Lid will be sadly missed by his sister Ronette. Predeceased by his brother Martin, and sisters Heather and Pat. Born in England, Lid left at the age of 16 after the second world war ended, and spent the next four years working on freighter ships.

This gave him the opportunity to see nearly every major port in the world. He eventually made his way to Ontario and employment at Ottawa Dairy farm. Here he realized his love of farming and also his love for Phyllis. Because of Lids passion for farming he spent most of his working life, along with a career in trucking, doing just that. Retirement gave Lid the time to not only continue to raise some chickens and turkeys, but to raise the biggest chickens and turkeys. His flower and vegetable gardens were an impressive sight to everyone.

A special thank you goes out to the nursing staff at Carleton Place Memorial and the Montfort Hospitals for such compassionate care.

The family held a private celebration of Lids life on Saturday July 29, 2017.

For those who would like to make a donation in memory of Lid, a contribution to the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. www.barkerfh.com

DR. SHARPE Louis Ramon Born 91 years ago on the island nation of Trinidad & Tobago, Louis Sharpe aspired to a different life than that of government service, which he initially enjoyed. He set off for Canada, and McGill University to complete a Bachelor of Arts and ultimately a Doctorate of Dental Surgery, completed in 1963. From there he moved south, practising at New York Polyclinic, extending his studies to a Dental Fellowship in Anaesthesiology at Mount Sinai Hospital, and teaching briefly at Columbia University. He established his own dental practice in New York where, in 1964, he met his future wife, Gisela (nee Molk). They spent many happy years in the city, and had a son, Robert. In 1977 Louis moved his family to Almonte, Ontario where he practiced dentistry until his death. Louis had an immediate charm and a mischievous wit. His quirky sense of humour and easy laughter gave him a talent for putting others at ease and for making them feel welcome and important. Rarely would he be seen in public without suit and tie. He was passionate about fishing, classic British mystery novels, dentistry, and about his family. Louis passed quickly and peacefully at the Ottawa Heart Institute on July 27, 2017. The family wish to extend thanks to the compassionate physicians, nurses and all the kind staff who cared so well for him.

His family will sorely miss him.

A funeral will be held at Holy Name of Mary Parish in Almonte on Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 11am.

After a brief career in the Air Force, Tom became a civil servant and pursued a successful career as an avionics technician for Transport Canada. In 1996, he began what would become a fulfilling retirement, working around the home, volunteering at the church and travelling.

Always the consummate handyman, he became the embodiment of a ‘homeowner helping homeowners’ while he worked part time at Home Hardware in Manotick.

Ann was the “Rock Star” of her circle of family and friends; she excelled at everything on which she set her sights; homemaking, interior design, fashion guru, shopping, golfing, cooking, baking, artistic creations but first and foremost she was a good, kind, courageous and loving person whose presence is missed every day. So many times we have said “If only Ann was here – she would know exactly what we need”.

A Taste You’ve Come To Enjoy!

Thursday Night Men’s Twilight News The July 27 edition of the Thursday Night Men’s Twilight was sponsored by Hunt & Dopson Insurance and Titleist. With the back nine under water as a result of the torrential rain earlier in the week, the action was confined to the first nine holes where the conditions were excellent and the golf action as exciting as ever.

The scramble format was back and the Niblock, McCreary, Poulin, and Bremner group posted the low score of the evening.

The Roosteraunt closest to the pin prize went to George Thomson for his tee shot on the third hole.

Mike Koziel took home the Burns Jewelers bling for the best approach shot on the second hole.

The Town and Country Chrysler longest drive was sent into orbit by Cory Hurlbert on hole number 4.

The fabulous tests of skill were performed by Geoff Watson and Colin Brown. I just hope they find that last dart.

This week’s Rocky’s Road Rash ball went to Eric Maitland. He’ll try for a hole in one to win the Hunt and Dopson prize at the Closing in September. Good luck.

Last week’s Obsessed With Golf trivia question: What flower fills in the Masters logo at the end of Magnolia Lane in summer? Answer: B. Marigolds.

Jake McNeely, first; Linkin Stevens, second; Wyatt McNeely, third; and Taylor Glover, fourth.

Canadian Tire Eastern Ontario Karting Championships on July 30. McNeely won.

Fast action dominates kart races during regional racing The snarl of Briggs and Stratten racing engines echoed around the Lombardy Fairgrounds Racetrack again during Round Six of the Canadian Tire Eastern Ontario Go-Karting Championship on Sunday, July 30.

The weather was perfect for racing and the track was fast adding to the excitement of the events.

Linkin Stevens of Perth, Ontario and Jake McNeely from Kinburn, Ontario each won a qualifying race in the morning in the novice class, ages seven-11. This class runs with carburetor restrictors but these two hot-shoe drivers were averaging 75 km/h on the 12turn Sonoma 2 version of the Lombardy Track. McNeely edged out Stevens for the win in the 18-lap feature race. Jake’s younger brother Wyatt McNeely nursed an ailing kart to a third-place finish ahead of first-time racer Taylor Glover from Richmond, Ontario.

Taylor’s older brother, Nathan Glover won the first heat of the highly competitive Junior Class, ages 11-15.

Glover led all the way from his pole starting position.

An inverted grid for the start of the second heat put Glover at the back of the nine-car field leaving Denver Craig from Carp, Ontario and Matt Lavalle of Kingston, Ontario duelling back and forth for the lead. Lavalle was ahead on the last lap until the final corner where Craig squeezed inside the Kingston driver. The two drag-raced to the finish line with Craig winning by the decal on his front bumper.

In the Junior Feature Race, Zander Stevens of Perth, Ontario joined the fight for the lead with Glover and Lavalle. Glover spun and Stevens nipped past Lavalle for the win. Denver Craig came third.

In the Senior Spec Class, Todd Ceasar from Perth, Ontario proved that old

guys rule by winning all three races, beating out his son, Trevor. James Smith of Perth was third.

Thank you to Series Sponsor Canadian Tire and Round Six Sponsor Allan Bruce Trucking for the trophies and prizes for these races.
