Gender Illusions hopes to give Legion elevator a boost

News - It’s getting harder and harder for Smiths Falls veterans and Legion patrons to negotiate the many stairs that make up the old house and its additions.

That’s why the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 has started fundraising for an elevator to relieve some of the problems.

“The plan is to put the elevator right across from the kitchen,” said Carol Levere, branch

president.

“This will allow all handicap and elderly individuals to attend functions that are booked in our hall downstairs as well as the lounge area.”

The fundraising just started in June. Already the fund has collected $3,000, half of which was donated by the bridge club.

The overall cost of the elevator and installation is estimated to be around $90,000.

“We’ll also be looking at different grants,” said Levere, “and

we’re planning different events to generate more funds.”

One of those events is the Seven Year Itch Tour show by Gender Illusions coming to the Legion on Aug. 16.

The music and comedy troupe, from Almonte, has made it something of a mission to help various non-profit organizations in the region raise funds for operations.

“We just like to give back to the communities, and it gives us a chance to bring our brand of

humour and comedy to small towns,” said Donald Graham, troupe founder.

He describes the show as a musical comedy where Liza Minnelli, Adele, and Bette Midler all make an appearance – yes, in one show and on one stage!

“We take our audiences on a journey; we’re illusionist, within the first five minutes they’ll forget they’re looking at guys,” said Graham, who added they also get the audience to partici-

Doors for the Gender Illusions show at the Legion will open at 8 p.m. and the parade of famous divas with their slightly altered songs will keep the audience entertained for two hours.

Tickets to the event are $20 and all proceeds will go towards the much-needed elevator.

“This is a very big undertaking but we are committed,” said Levere, “as we know how it will help veterans enjoy their building.”

Lanark County slam poetry team gears up for national spoken word festival

By ELAINE TAMBLYN-WATTS

Community – Lanark County’s burgeoning slam poetry scene, now in its sixth year, continues to thrive this summer as the Live Poets Society (LiPS) prepares to send its competing team to Montreal for the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in November.

After hosting a slam every month since November 2012, alternating between Perth and Carleton Place venues, LiPS ended the competitive season with its final slam on June 8 at the Carleton Place Town Hall.

The competition may be over, but now the real work begins for the Lanark County live poets.

This year’s team – as decided in June’s finals – consists of Tammy “Dimorphic� MacKenzie, Satinka “Poetiquette� Schilling, Andy Kerr-Wilson and Elaine Marilyse Tamblyn-Watts, with Beth “bWILDer� Schilling as team alternate.

The poets are tasked with fundraising for their upcoming trip to Montreal and in preparation for the national stage, they will be appearing on quite a few local ones this summer.

On Saturday, Aug. 10, the team is slated to perform two shows in Perth.

The team and its supporters will be at Perth Farmers’ Market at the Crystal Palace between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to perform free of charge.

That same evening LiPS will be appearing at the Baker’s Bean at 1 Sherbrooke Street East from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. alongside local musician Matt Dickson for a double bill of poetry and music.

Admission to the Baker’s Bean show is $10. Silent auction and draw prize items will be available at both venues as well.

The Lanark County live poets have a considerable amount of spoken word ‘firsts’ to their name.

While slam scenes generally come together in major urban centers, LiPS has broken the mold, becoming the very first team to represent a rural area at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word

(CFSW) in 2008.

That same year the collective broke another record, sending the youngestever CFSW competitor and first-ever minor, Carleton Place native Emily Kwissa, to the national stage.

Two years later, we had another record-breaker, in which the LiPS’ team featured the youngest and the oldest competitors, and in 2011 a mother and a daughter competing on the same team (a feat that the Shilling family will be reprising this year).

This year the team breaks no new records – the youngest poets, Marilyse and Poetiquette, are both fresh high school grads, and while LiPS remain the only rural competitors, the festival itself is the biggest news for the spoken word community.

Taking place in Montreal, this year’s Canadian Festival of Spoken Word will be the first ever to be fully bilingual.

While those of us in the Ottawa Valley are accustomed to seeing labels, pamphlets and signs written in both French and English, the nuanced and complex nature of poetry presents a unique challenge for bilingualism.

The specifics of translation are still taking shape, but each poet is required to submit the text for at least one piece in advance to a group of professional translators who have volunteered their expertise to help the poems reach as many ears as possible.

After an exciting season of powerful spoken word, both from countless slam and open mic performers and featured poets from all across the country, including Magpie Ulysses, DMP, Rusty Priske and ArRay-of-Words, Lanark LiPS looks forward to a summer of local poetry before setting out to compete once more in the fall.

For more information on the Lanark County Live Poets Society, supporting the team, upcoming events, or to enquire about booking poets for an event, email lanarklips@hotmail.com or look for LiPS on Facebook.

Poetry slams originated in Chicago in 1986, but have since gained enormous popularity, spawning scenes all over the world. The oeuvre is competitive performance art before both judges and an audience; more simply, slam is duelling with words.

In some early Chicago slams, poets actually performed in makeshift boxing rings and wore boxing gloves while they spoke.

This, sadly, is no longer common practice, but modern slam offers plenty of excitement to make up for it.

The rules are straightforward - poets perform two original pieces without props, musical accompaniment or costume, and are judged by five audience members.

Pieces which are longer than three minutes incur time penalties of half a point per ten seconds over three min-

utes, with a ten second grace period.

Slam poetry is generally known for its energetic performances, powerful emotional punches and instant, enthusiastic audience feedback.

While definitely sophisticated and packed with deeper meanings, a slam is a far cry from a traditional, written poetry reading.

Lanark County’s construction season well underway part of five-year plans. Council approves the projects year by year.

“The public works department is always working to maintain and improve our roads network and enhance public safety,” said Warden Bill Dobson (Montague Reeve). “A strong network is essential to the economy and quality of life in Lanark County, and I applaud the department’s efforts to do this work in a cost-effective way that benefits our ratepayers.”

All of the pavement preservation projects for 2013 are now complete and included County Road 29 from Pakenham to the City of Ottawa boundary, a section of County Road 20 (Waba Road) from Pakenham to the intersection with County Road 22 (Shaw Road), McNeely Avenue and Townline Road in Carleton Place, County Road 2 from Merrickville to the boundary with the City of Ottawa, and County Road 49 from Almonte to the City of Ottawa boundary.

Road rehabilitation projects for 2013 include: County Road 19: Crain’s Construction Limited has completed rehabilitation work on 2.5 km of County Road 19 (Bennett Lake Road) at the intersection with County Road 36 at a cost of $347,000.

Starting last year and over the next three years the county will be working east along this road toward Fallbrook.

County Road 12: Crain’s Construction Limited has started work on County Road 12 (McDonalds Corners Road), picking up from the last phase of a multi-year project.

The work extends from the Bathurst Line East to the Playfairville Bridge and a small piece coming into Lanark Village as far as the Mill Street Bridge. The $1 million project is expected to be finished at the beginning of August.

County Road 16A: Cavanagh Construction will

begin work on an 800-metre stretch of County Road 16A in Almonte (Mississippi Mills) starting Aug. 6 from the intersection with County Road 29 to Country Street.

The joint project with the town involved looking at options to accommodate cyclists.

Three options were explored, including an offroad pathway, a “share the road” concept with a widened road platform and an option with dedicated cycling lanes on both sides of the road, which was ultimately chosen.

These will be the first designated cycling lanes on a county road. The roadway is being widened within the existing road allowance, and the pre-existing gravel shoulders will be paved and marked as cycling lanes with symbols.

The project cost is $850,000, with 10 per cent coming from Mississippi Mills to cover drainage work and sidewalks.

During the day traffic will be reduced to a single lane, but contractors will make sure there is access to driveways.

County Road 17: On Aug. 13, Karson Kartage & Konstruction will begin work on Martin Street North from Carrs Street to the former rail crossing just north of the new White Tail Ridge subdivision.

The project, which is just under 2 km, has a cost of $432,000 and was delayed until the subdivision was well underway.

Now that the rail line has been abandoned, a winding section of road that crossed the tracks will be straightened.

Kilmarnock Bridge: Work on this bridge, jointly owned by Lanark County and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, began in April and finished in mid-June.

The bridge was built in the 1960s and the work represented its mid-life rehabilitation. It was closed for the duration of the project in order to reduce

costs, accelerate the work and improve safety for workers. It was completed by Canadyne Engineering at a cost of $225,000, which was shared between the two counties.

Mississippi River Bridge: Detailed design work for the replacement of the bridge between Balderson and Lanark Village on County Road 511 is ongoing with consultants McCormick Rankin.

A public meeting was held last year and the design process must include consultation with stakeholder agencies, which will take place over the next few months.

A tender for the work will likely be issued this January with construction starting as soon as possible in the spring.

At this point the focus is on a design that will allow the county to keep one lane open throughout the construction, thereby eliminating the need for detours. The project is expected to take four or five months and is estimated at $3 million.

The county was fortunate to be successful in its application to the Provincial Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative fund and is receiving $2 million, which is enabling the project to proceed in 2014.

Traffic signal replacement: The county is upgrading traffic signals on McNeely Avenue in Carleton Place. The signals were installed in 1995 and some parts of the controllers are now obsolete. The lights along McNeely will also be synchronized.

The work is being completed by Parham Engineering in August and September.

For all of the road construction projects, traffic may be reduced to one lane from time to time. “To ensure driver and worker safety, we remind motorists to please obey all signs and traffic control personnel,” Allan said. “We regret any inconvenience or disruption to traffic that may be caused.”

News – As part of its 2013 construction season, Lanark County is improving 50 kilometres of roads and has completed one bridge project.

This year, $5.25 million is allocated to construction, including 41 km of pavement preservation, which accounts for 30 per cent of the budget, and 9 km of road rehabilitation bridgework, which makes up 50 per cent of the budget.

“We are starting to see good success and results from the pavement preservation program we began several years ago,” said public works director Steve Allan. “The strategy focuses on renewing road surfaces that do not have structural problems.

It is preventive maintenance that decreases the frequency of the need for complete rehabilitation, which is much more cost effective.”

If the roadbed is good, then it is a suitable candidate for pavement preservation, which can include crack sealant to prevent moisture damage, micro surfacing or adding another layer of surface treatment.

“There is a short window of time when a road is suitable for pavement preservation. After that, it can deteriorate rapidly,” he said. “Surface treatment is particularly good for roads that are susceptible to heaving. We go back every seven or eight years to do surface treatment that is not asphalt.

It is more flexible, and although it can be may be noisier to drive on, it performs as well or better.”

After a major rehabilitation, pavement preservation maintains the road. “It’s not unlike servicing your car or performing routine roof maintenance with shingles. It extends the life of the road and keeps it in good shape.”

The public works department oversees construction, operation, repair and maintenance of 565 km of roads and 77 bridge and culvert structures.

Every year the department assesses the entire road system and makes a priority list that forms

Local author signs book deal with US publisher

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

Arts – After self-publishing her first novel and securing an agent last year, local author Brenda Corey Dunne has now added another accomplishment to her burgeoning career: a new book deal with a US publisher.

The Oxford Mills resident signed with US publisher Jolly Fish Press, based in Provo, Utah, in June. They have acquired the world distribution and publishing rights to her second book, an adult fiction novel entitled ‘Dependent.’ It will be launched in summer 2014. “It’s very exciting,� Dunne admitted. “They’re a small publisher gaining momentum and have released a bunch of books. There’s lots of buzz about them.� ‘Dependent,’ which Dunne refers to as “raw,� touches on the pressures of having a spouse in the military. It’s a big departure from her first one, ‘Treasure in the Flame,’ which was young adult historical fiction. “‘Treasure’ is more light and fluffy,� Dunne explained. “I call it cotton candy and ‘Dependent’ is my full-fledged bordeaux. It’s more literary and touches on more pertinent items in today’s society.�

Dunne has firsthand knowledge of the challenges of having a spouse in service; her husband Tom is an air force pilot. However, she said it is a fictional tale. “It’s about what happens in the background with the spouse at home...and how the person follows along in posts from city to city, country to country,� she said. “It’s difficult to maintain careers and their sense of self. It’s loosely based on the experiences of people around me and myself, but it is a work of fiction.� “‘Dependent’ discusses a lot of problems of today’s military families such as deployment, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), authority figures who overstep proper boundaries and there’s been a lot of that in the news lately,� Dunne continued.

This book has been a long time coming for Dunne, who first began writing it back in 2006.

The process was so intense, as she was dealing with some of her own personal issues at the time, she set it aside after finishing 40 pages. “I revisited it off and on for the next six or seven years and finally in November of this past year (2012), I sat down and said I needed to finish it,� she said. “It was something that’s important, so I put my head down and plowed through.�

Dunne signed with her agent, Jennifer Mishler, of the New York’s Literary Counsel, in December and began shopping around for an interested publisher for ‘Dependent’ this past January. She noted it was a turnaround of within weeks before she found Jolly Fish Press, established in October 2011, which fit in with her needs. “Everybody dreams of a huge book deal with one of the big five or six publishers, but I’m really excited about this and they’re (Jolly Fish Press) really excited about it to. To feel their energy is really good,� Dunne remarked.

Their penchant for creating eye-catching covers didn’t hurt in making her decision either. “...

Their covers are absolutely fabulous and really, in today’s day and age, the cover is what sells the book, the story does too, but nobody picks it up if it doesn’t have a catchy cover,� she said.

Book signings Dunne is currently working on three other projects, including a sequel to ‘Treasure in the Flame.’ “I have too many ideas and too little time,� she joked.

She is also continuing to publicize ‘Treasure in the Flame,’ which has been well received throughout the area, Dunne said.

Coming up this Saturday, Aug. 10, she will be at the Gloucester Chapters on Ogilvie Road from 1 to 4 p.m. The next day, Aug. 11, Dunne will be signing books at the Kemptville Kinsmen Farmers’ Market in Riverside Park from noon to 4 p.m.

For more information on Dunne, visit her blog at www.brendacoreydunne.blogspot.ca.

Elder abuse must be taken seriously, says advocate News – Power of Attorney abuse is becoming a “huge problem,” and those affected by it may not have the capacity to advocate for themselves.

This is one of the many reasons someone might call the elder abuse Peer Support Line.

The line, in place for elder abuse covers essentially from Prescott to Trenton, Belleville, Bancroft. And volunteers are being sought to aid with the line.

The line has recently been expanded with the aid of the South East Community Care Access Centre and volunteers are needed to answer phones. The line itself is for seniors or those who suspect a senior is being abused.

The calls are answered by a “peer who will listen in a non-judgemental way and provide information on possible sources to help, only if you wish assistance,” says a promotional brochure.

Of course, if the situation is an emergency or could be dangerous, dial 9-1-1.

The Elder Abuse Prevention Support Line can be reached toll free by calling 1-855-542-1336. Upon calling the number, the caller is asked to choose one of the local lines, one is offered in Brockville, Belleville and Kingston.

“We need more volunteers for looking after the phone. We have only had the phone here for a couple of months,” explained Jen Knudson, elder abuse prevention Brockville team leader. “It is not a huge volunteer commitment.”

She explained it isn’t counselling as such, the role of the volunteer is to listen - comparable to a triage at an emergency room.

All phone calls to the line are anonymous.

Names are not asked for, nor do those running the line provide last names.

As mentioned, volunteers are being sought. Volunteers rotate the phone amongst themselves; no one carries the phone for more than a week at a time.

Generally at the most, 20 calls will be received in a week. Training is provided to all volunteers.

There are three levels of response - one being a phone response.

To call the senior and let them know what agencies exist if they might want help. To provide them with help to solve their problem.

There are instances where an advocacy team will attend the senior’s residence and of course if the situation is threatening or dangerous, the police are called.

In a presentation earlier this year in Brockville, Dave Swerdfeger, elder abuse prevention advocate with the Council on Aging for Frontenac-Kingston spoke to a group of nurse case managers gathered at the Community Care Access Centre.

“We want elder abuse to be (seen) the same as child abuse. This isn’t for discussion; if you see it report it,” he said at the time.

“We haven’t done a good enough job of getting through to people in this area (about the line),” he said of awareness levels.

The topics Swerdfeger brought to the table earlier this year for discussion included; why people don’t talk about elder abuse, what it is, forms of elder abuse, who is affected by it, why abuse happens, why the victims don’t tell, prevention and who can help. He noted often elder abuse isn’t talked about due to a lack of visibility of those in the senior age category to other age groups.

Oftentimes not speaking about the issue is due to a shyness or fear of old age or dealing with someone who might have a disability.

Sometimes it is just due to lack of awareness or knowledge or a feeling of helplessness.

Elder abuse is defined by Swerdfeger as, “a single or repeated act or lack of appropriate action, occurring in any relationship where there is an expectation of trust that causes harm or distress to an older adult.”

Forms of abuse can be physical abuse and neglect (either active or passive), psychological, fi-

nancial or sexual.

Medication abuse happens when caregivers or another, “drugs them (senior) to the point they aren’t a problem anymore.” It sedates them, essentially.

As Knudson emphasized, so too did Swerdfeger in his presentation.

He stated 75 per cent of elder abuse is financial and 75 per cent of that abuse is through Powers of Attorney (POA).

Other forms of financial abuse include theft, fraud, theft by POA, and criminal breach of trust.

Some of the signs and symptoms of a senior who is being financially abused include visitors to the home only on days when cheques are to arrive in the mail, evidence of questionable use of power of attorney, inappropriate banking activity, uncharacteristic unpaid bills, and the senior may become uncomfortable talking about money.

“Power of Attorney is often used by people who have no idea what a POA is and is used by people who think it is a pipeline to people’s money,” he charged.

He recalled a case whereby a senior had just come home from a stay in the hospital.

His house had been emptied of furniture and there was a for sale sign on the home.

His son had claimed POA and had sold everything.

He had gone into the hospital with a grim prognosis; doctors didn’t feel he would make it.

His son had claimed POA under Quebec laws, which deem the oldest son to automatically be POA. However, in Ontario, the location where the senior resided, that law does not exist and in fact his son had not been listed as POA. His son has consequently been charged with theft over $5,000.

Another case he remembers well, was when a call came into the support line one evening from a woman in a panic.

She had gone away to visit family for a month and upon her return her key did not work in her own door.

She had owned a triplex, and caused enough of a stir trying to get her key in the door that a man answered.

When she asked why he was in her home, the man didn’t know what she was talking about and said he was the rightful owner.

Thinking she would sleep on it and resolve the matter in the morning, she attended an ATM. She knew there was over $100,000 in the bank account, so she would use a little to get a hotel room for the night.

There was no money left.

As it turned out, the day she had left, her son went to the doctor to get a note declaring her incompetent.

Without seeing her, the doctor wrote him the note. Her son then went ahead and got a POA and proceeded to take her home and money. At this point, the doctor’s insurance company is paying for her house.

Those in need of more information, or who may suspect abuse, or are a senior being abused may call the Elder Abuse Prevention Hot Line at 1-855542-1336, the Province of Ontario’s Senior Safety Line at 1-866-299-1011, or the Public Guardian and Trustee (for POA issues) 1-800-891-0506.

The peer support line has support from the Council on Aging Frontenac-Kingston, the South East CCAC and the Ontario South East Local Health Integration Network.

A seminar is being planned for October in Kingston.

The subject will be POA abuse. Details are still being worked out, however it is hoped one portion of the day will be for professionals, the second half for the public. There will be fees associated with attending.

Federal government highlights elder abuse awareness project News – Older people with disabilities and people who are deaf will benefit from increased access to supports and services aimed at preventing elder abuse through the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP).

“Our government continues to combat the very serious issue of elder abuse in all its forms,” underlined the Honourable Alice Wong, Minister of State for Seniors, to mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) back in June. “By supporting elder abuse prevention activities, our government is helping protect the well-being and security of Canadian seniors.”

Wong added that the Government of Canada recognizes the great work done by groups across Canada to raise awareness of elder abuse and help

seniors protect themselves from its many forms, including financial abuse.

As part of these efforts, the Canadian Association for Community Living (CACL) has received $600,000 in funding for its NHSP project. This will help the CACL develop community responses across Canada related to the abuse of older people with disabilities and people who are deaf.

The project engages communities to develop tools, resources and best practices on awareness and prevention of elder abuse.

As well, older individuals with disabilities and their families will develop individual safety plans to support them in their communities.

“Through this funding, the Disabled Women’s Network Canada and the Canadian Association

for Community Living, and many other provincial, territorial and local partners, are working together to improve communities across the country,” said Bonnie Brayton, national executive director, Disabled Women ‘s Network.

“The NHSP is an exceptional example of how a focused funding strategy can result in change in attitude, approach and a real change in communities,” added Laurie Larson, president, Canadian Association for Community Living. “Local citizens are being given the opportunity to learn about and prevent the abuse of older people with disabili-

ties and people who are deaf.”

This project is one of 33 pan-Canadian initiatives collectively receiving over $14 million in NHSP funding. Through Economic Action Plan 2013, the government proposes to better safeguard the well-being of seniors.

The government also continues to ensure that Canadians are informed about the signs and symptoms of elder abuse. Visit seniors.gc.ca for information on the signs and symptoms of elder abuse, as well as resources for preventative action.

Right, With a little help from some young friends in the audience, Junkyard Jonny (Jonny Olsen), middle, the leader of musical entertainment group, Junkyard Symphony, performs a trick. The entertainers made a stop at Carleton Place’s Market Square for the Music at the Market family concert series.

It’s just around the corner – the big day when your child or grandchild heads off to college or university for year one of their next great educational adventure. You’ve prudently planned for this day by regularly contributing to investments held within a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) – and now it’s time to get the most out of it with the right withdrawal strategies that will minimize your student’s taxes and get the full benefit of the Educational Assistance Payments (EAPs) for qualifying educational programs. EAPs consist of the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG), the Canada Learning Bond (CLB) and the income or growth earned from the money you’ve invested in the RESP.1 Withdraw EAPs before withdrawing contributions.

As the subscriber of your student’s plan, you can elect to withdraw the income, grant, and bonds as EAPs, which will be taxable in the hands of your student whose low income, and personal credits and deductions (including the tuition credit, education credit, moving expenses deduction, and so on) should offset some or all of the income inclusion of the EAP. Withdraw contributions after your student starts school. Early withdrawal will

trigger a CESG repayment.

Spread out the EAPs over the length of your student’s educational program. Taking a lump sum in the first year may burden your student with a high taxable income. Spreading out the EAPs over a number of years takes advantage of your student’s (usually) lower marginal tax rates.

Avoid potential CESG clawbacks by withdrawing EAPs when you can. If there is any CESG or CLB remaining in your investments held within a RESP after your student completes (or leaves) their postsecondary program, you may be required to refund this “excess” CESG grant money.

Get proof of enrolment right away so you’ll have money when you need it.

Before releasing an EAP, your RESP carrier will require proof of enrollment.

Use leftovers wisely. Any contributions remaining in the plan after your student finishes college or university are yours to use as you wish – transfer them to another child’s plan or withdraw them for personal use.

When you started that RESP many years ago, you

probably wondered if it was a good investment strategy.

Now you know that it was – especially today, with a postsecondary education so costly and so necessary. Talk to your professional advisor about other good strategies for achieving a debt-free education for your children or grandchildren and financial stability for your family.

1 The Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) and the Canada Learning Bond (CLB) are provided by the Government of Canada. CLB eligibility depends on family income levels. Some provinces make education savings grants available to their residents.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Local unit of Canadian Cancer Society encourages good sun sense DEAR EDITOR: Editor’s note: The following is a response to a column which appeared in the July 11 issue of the EMC (‘Top sun safety myths debunked, Vitamin D is necessary for healthy living’).

While outdoor activities are part of a healthy lifestyle, and natural sunlight is important to good health, there is a danger you can’t see – ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Too much exposure to UV rays increases the risk of skin cancer.

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer but you can take steps to protect yourself, especially between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun’s rays are at their strongest or any time of day when the UV Index is 3 or higher. To reduce your risk of getting skin cancer, follow these tips: • Use a sunscreen with SPF of 15 or higher. If you work outdoors or are planning to be outside most of the day, use an SPF 30. Apply the sunscreen 20 minutes prior to heading outdoors.

• Cover up. Protect yourself with clothing that is loose fitting, tightly woven, and lightweight. When in the sun, wear a hat with a wide brim to

protect your head, face, ears, and neck.

• Protect your vision. Sunglasses can help prevent damage to your eyes by protecting them from harmful UV rays.

• Vitamin D. Produced in the skin when it is exposed to sunlight, vitamin D is needed for good bone and muscle health. A few minutes a day of unprotected sun exposure is usually all that is needed for some people to get enough vitamin D. You don’t need a tan to get benefits from the sun. You can get vitamin D through diet or by taking a supplement.

• No safe way to get a tan. The sun and indoor tanning equipment such as tanning beds and sun lamps emit UV rays that can damage skin and increase the risk of skin cancer.

The Canadian Cancer Society recommends you check your skin regularly and report any changes to your doctor. Learn more at cancer.ca.

COMMENTARY

Be vigilant against virus Editorial – Though cases of West Nile Virus (WNV) have been few and far between over the past couple of years, a positive sample found in Perth July 29 means the virus is back in the tri-county area.

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit confirmed the presence of the virus in one of its traps in Perth, a first since 2003. However, it’s a good sign that no cases of WNV have been reported throughout the region, or the province, this summer.

This announcement underlines the importance of protecting yourself and your family from contracting WNV, which can be fatal to those with weakened immune systems, but traditionally presents as a flu-like illness. Symptoms can include fever, headache, body aches, mild rash and swollen lymph glands.

While municipalities are charged with ensuring their roads and ditches have proper drainage, there are several things homeowners can do to discourage mosquitoes from breeding.

Those responsible for carrying WNV are container mosquitoes and like to live in warm, sheltered standing water. Removing those areas from your property is important as mosquitoes aren’t known to travel large distances, according to the health unit.

Wearing light-coloured, loose clothing and applying a mosquito repellent containing 20 to 30 per cent DEET (six to 10 per cent for children) can also be effective. Be sure to replace torn window or door screens to keep the pests outdoors and if they do get inside, look for them on walls, near sinks, closets and in basements.

Commonly used techniques to repel mosquitoes are bug zappers or citronella candles, but the health unit notes they have not proven to be deterrents to the pesky bugs.

For more tips on how to protect yourself from WNV, visit www.healthunit.org.

Mother’s war on houseflies was on for another year Lifestyle – This time of year, Mother engaged in a never-ending battle with the housefly. She thought every fly on earth was put there to carry germs and contaminate whatever surface it happened to land on.

Many of our neighbours hung strips of sticky stuff from their ceilings, but Mother would have no part of them. No siree! Most of these strips were hung over the kitchen tables, since that seemed to be where the flies accumulated, and if one fly ever had the misfortune of falling off and landing on the oil cloth, or heaven forbid, a piece of food, the entire table would have to be cleared, scoured, and whatever food it neared, scraped into Sport’s dog dish at the back door!

And so, the strips were never used in our kitchen!

Every summer Father hauled the screen door from the drive shed where it had been stored over winter, and he hung it with a tight spring attached. In fact, the spring, on Mother’s insistence, was so taut that if you weren’t quick enough getting into the house, you could lose a leg, or be maimed for life! That was just another way of making sure a stray fly didn’t get in with us.

There was never enough money to buy fly swatters, and Mother insisted we each have one. So they were homemade.

Fashioned out of narrow slats of wood, with layers of green cheese cloth, or sometimes, very fine screening attached on the end between more small slats, the swatters worked just fine. They were stationed on the bench at the back door, and each of us was commanded to have ours at the ready, just in case a fly managed to enter the house while we came in through the screen door.

In the summer time, any food on the bake table, prepared for our next meal, was covered with spanking clean flour bag tea towels. And when the bowls were moved over to the kitchen table, the towels stayed put. It was like a mystery trying to decide which mound of white held the meat, potatoes or vegetables. Father thought Mother went too far when it came to the common housefly. He insisted the Haneman family had managed to survive in spite of them for generations!

Mother said, “And that’s a miracle in itself.”

She pointed out to Father all he had to do was go out to the cow byre and see the swarms of flies covering the cows’ Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

backsides and the manure. He would know what, if flies were allowed inside, were brought into the house...right into the kitchen, where the very food we were putting in our mouths was there for the taking!

At least once a week Mother had what we called her murderous attack on the common housefly.

It didn’t matter how careful we were, how quickly we slammed the screen door, how diligent we were with the swatters, the flies always managed to come into the house.

And when Mother couldn’t stand it any longer, she would announce at the breakfast table that this was the day! She would cast her eyes around the kitchen, and we wouldn’t even have to ask her just what day that would be.

without a doubt, it was the day Mother would be attacking the flies that managed, in spite of our best efforts to keep them out, got into the house.

That meant no one, not even if the house was on fire, was allowed inside until Mother was finished with what my sister Audrey called “her murderous attack.”

There was a big tin can of fly tox in the summer kitchen, and on the shelf was a contraption that had a container at one end, and a handle and cylinder at the other. Mother filled the can to capacity, put a white towel around her head, went into the kitchen slamming the doors behind her, and the attack began.

I would often look in the kitchen window from my post outside, and there would be Mother furiously pumping the handle into the cylinder and pouring out what would be a burst of fog-like spray that hung in the air like gossamer curtains. I have no idea how Mother didn’t choke to death!

As soon as she thought she had sprayed enough fly tox into the cavity of the kitchen, she would come out onto the back stoop, gasping for breath, the perspiration pouring down her face like ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

falling rain, and a look of complete satisfaction on her beet-red face.

Then she would collapse into the twig chair, still with the spray can in her hand, and fan her face with the tail of her apron. We had to wait for ages before anyone was allowed back in the kitchen, and when we were, the grand clean-up began.

The newspapers would be taken off the cooled Findlay Oval, rolled up and crammed into its fire box, Audrey would get the broom, and I stood at the ready with the dust pan, and the sweep-up began.

The flies didn’t have a chance. Audrey would sweep up the dead bodies; I would take the dustpan to the stove, amazed at how many had fallen under Mother’s attack. Mother would light a match to the papers in the stove after piling on a couple sticks from the wood box, and soon the Findlay Oval would be raging.

The smell of the fly tox hung in the air for hours, but that didn’t seem to bother Mother in the least. The deed was done for a short spell. But alas, the never-ending battle against the housefly continued until the frost hit the farm at the end of the summer.

LET TERS TO THE EDITOR Reid just doesn’t get food safety tion staff at CFIA, which will reduce, not strengthen our food safety system.

They also failed to implement the final recommendation of the Weatherill Report, which called for an independent, comprehensive resource audit to ensure that the CFIA had the resources, human and otherwise to carry out its mandate. Even the former president of the CFIA, Carole Swan, said that what they did do was not the audit the Weatherill report called for. That could have prevented many of the problems.

This slapdash approach allowed problems at XL Foods to go unchecked for years, allowing the E. coli contamination that caused 18 Canadians to get sick, cost $16 to 27 million to the beef industry and undermined consumer confidence in our food safety system.

Will Mr. Reid and the Conservatives actually implement the recommended changes to food inspection to prevent a third major food crisis on their watch? Don’t hold your breath – when I asked in Question Period, they refused to commit to an implementation date.

Fun ways to teach kids about money DEAR EDITOR: A growing number of Canadians are opting for “staycations” this summer. This is not surprising – vacationing at home can be a good way to save money, and to enjoy activities close to home.

It’s also a great opportunity to teach your kids about money. Check local listings for familyfriendly events or activities, and ask your kids to help plan a day trip of their choosing–within a budget. They will learn to plan ahead and anticipate costs, and to make decisions like whether to bring or buy a lunch. For young kids, going for ice cream is a great time to show them that when you spend money on one item, that means you have less available for something else.

Teenagers might enjoy The City (http:// www.themoneybelt.gc.ca/theCity-laZone/eng/ login-eng.aspx), a free online tool where they can learn about financial issues like needs versus wants, budgeting and goal-setting through

different characters in an interactive, virtual world.

Parents can take advantage of everyday activities to teach a financial lesson. Go through coupons together, and ask your child to clip those for items on your shopping list. At the store, show them the costs of different items, like their favourite cereal. Involve your child in decision making when you’re deciding between similar products.

Promoting financial education is a key part of what we do at the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC). Parents can check out “Teaching Children About Money (http://www. fcac-acfc.gc.ca/eng/consumers/lifeEvents/ teachChild/index-eng.asp) and our other free resources on teaching financial literacy to children at www.itpaystoknow.gc.ca.

DEAR EDITOR: Canadians count on the government to make sure the food we eat is safe, yet when it comes to the inspection system, Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MP Scott Reid and the Conservative government refuse to own up to their own mistakes.

An independent review of last year’s XL Foods E. coli outbreak, which led to the largest beef recall in Canadian history, found that the outbreak was entirely preventable. It found that there was not “a strong food safety culture” in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) at all levels. Staff were inadequately trained and inspection practices weren’t good enough. Our government failed.

Many of these problems would have been fixed if the Conservatives had followed through on their commitment to implement the recommendations of the Weatherill Report on the listeriosis contamination at Maple Leaf Foods in 2008, a serious shortcoming they refuse to admit.

The Conservatives claim they have been “bolstering” our food inspection system and that they have “added 20 per cent to the personnel.” In fact, documents reveal they plan to cut hundreds of food safety and inspec-

decline of particular mussell species and the decline of biodiversity in local fish. The explanation is as follows.

Mussells and clams live partially buried in sediment with little traveling about, which potentially restricts their distribution. The problem is solved by some mussel species which produce specialized larvae, called glochidia (from the Greek: pointed or hooked), that are shed in clouds, manage to attach to the gills of a particular species of host fish, and so are transported. They then drop off in new habitat suitable to both fish and mussell.

For example, the female PocketBook Mussell extends its mantle, the tip of which is shaped, marked and moves like a small fish. This attracts a desired larger fish for a lift. When the fish ‘takes the bait’ the mussell ejects a puff of glochidia that attach to the gills, thus obtaining a convenient taxi for its young! Other species mimic a worm to attract a ‘ride’. Check out YouTube. com for videos of some of these creative mussel displays, says Madill.

What can we do to improve the health of our waters and native freshwater Molluscs? How can we make a mussel as “happy as clam?” If you would like further information, please contact our speaker, she welcomes inquiries and can be contacted at the Canadian Nature Museum Research Building in Gatineau or via email at jmadill@mus-nature.ca.

and importantly light blocking matter.

They also provide benefit by mixing sediments as they slowly move. They provide food for fish, muskrats, shorebirds and others.

Also since some mussells are quite long lived, many living decades, they carry within their tissues a useful record of biological and chemical changes in the environment. As they age annual rings form in the shell as in a tree. According to Madill, some Eastern Pondshells can live 200 years!

But why are mussells so endangered? At one time, commercial harvest and disruption from log drives reduced their numbers, but these are not ongoing. Sadly, and to our peril, the current plight of bivalves reflects the damage we have done and are doing to water and its inhabitants. Mussells need clean, clear running water relatively high in oxygen and water bodies connected to maintain stable levels and flow, provide nutrients, and permit dispersal of the young. In turn, the density and persistence of these creatures are good indicators of healthy waters.

Main disrupters are dams and locks that restrict flow and cause extreme fluctuation in temperature and levels of water.

According to Madill, it can take 50 to 100 years for an area of mussells to be reestablished once it has been disrupted. Mussells are also particularly sensitive to pollutants of many kinds which include fertilizers from lawns and cropland. Many large water bodies and waterways have been made uninhabitable by channeling, loss of near shore habitat, and choking with litter and debris. Another significant threat has been the invasive Zebra Mussel, perhaps the most damaging to our native bivalves, as well as to human infrastructure such as intake pipes. It appeared in the Great Lakes in 1988 on ships from Middle Europe. Of incredible reproductive capacity, one female can produce 30,000 to 1,000,000 larvae annually. Madill noted that mussells of the Rideau River have suffered a ‘double whammy’ from zebra mussells and the rapid and alternating water levels due to the canal locks. In 10 years, zebra mussells have spread throughout the Great Lakes smothering large beds

Lifestyle – At a recent natural history lecture in Almonte, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) welcomed ‘malacologist’ Jacqueline Madill, Senior Research Assistant, Zoology, Research and Collections, Canadian Museum of Nature as guest speaker for the MVFN 2012-13 ‘Nature Beneath our Feet’ lectures.

Madill’s subject was the important but little-understood or appreciated, ‘Native Fresh-water Mussells of the Ottawa Valley’ and she brought many several favourite specimens to the talk.

About one-third of the world’s mussell species live in North America, with 55 species in Canada, of which 41 are found in Ontario. Madill reminded us first thing that we should not pick up mussells from the river bottom; each species inhabits only a specific water zone and they have limited locomotion.

Not only that but freshwater mussells are considered one of the most endangered group of species in North America, with 67 per cent at risk!

Mussells and clams belong to the family Mollusca (derived from Latin: soft), a very large group of soft-bodied animals that also includes the chitons, tooth shells, snails and slugs, oysters, and the nautili, squids and octopus.

Look them up and be amazed! In abundance and diversity, they are second only to the arthropods (which includes insects), and were among the first creatures on earth. Mussells and clams range in size from barely visible to approximately 20-centimetres in length.

Both are bivalves living in a box of two shells.

Think of the blue mussells or clam chowder you last ate at the fish restaurant, said Madill. Two limey (mainly calcium carbonate) shells enclose their ‘bivalve’ body in a box that may be opened or closed for passage of water, and protection. This structure reflects the life of a sedentary animal (or couch potato), no head or limbs but a muscular foot that provides anchorage and infrequent locomotion. About the body is a mantle that produces the shell and aids in growth and reproduction. Within the body there are various organs that work as in our own. Most important are the gut and gills that act in feeding, as part of a giant filter.

Madill and others assess mussel biodiversity and numbers in local lakes and rivers as part of their work. Hinge structure and other features are used for identification and often identification can be made just by the feel of the shell underwater. Mussell species may vary in numbers from zero to a few, to such density one cannot walk without treading on a shell. Here they earn the names ‘Heelsplitter’ and ‘Ouch’! Other more ‘happy as a clam’ individuals are rainbow, warty back and maple leaf. Eastern Elliptis is a very common species locally, and others such as a Cylindrical Papershell found in Quebec, had not been seen since the 1830s.

Why mess with mussells? Well, we must agree that water is fundamental to life. Here in the Ottawa Valley, we are well supplied with five major rivers and many smaller streams, and so should have abundant clean water and excellent aquatic life. But if we are to sustain and improve our standard of living we must care for our waters. And the study and care for mussels and clams are part of that concern because these littleknown animals give many ecological benefits. Perhaps the most significant is their filtering; an individual may in-

Compassionate seniors are often vulnerable victims of fraud spreading further,” said Deputy Commissioner Scott Tod, OPP Investigations and Organized Crime.

In 2012, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre received 2,020 complaints of criminals using the “emergency scam” – sometimes referred to as the “grandparent scam” – in Canada. Of those, 506 people were identified as victims who reported a loss of more than $1.4 million. Police believe there are many more victims, but they are reluctant to report the crime, either out of embarrassment or not knowing how.

In a typical “emergency scam”, the victim receives a phone call or email from someone claiming to be a friend or relative, like a grandchild, in distress.

The caller or emailer goes on to indicate that they are in some kind of trouble,

such as being in a car crash, they need money for bail, or they are having trouble returning from a foreign country.

The fraudster specifically asks that the victims to not tell other relatives. You may get a call from two people, one pretending to be your grandchild and the other pretending to be either a police officer or a lawyer.

Your “grandchild” asks questions during the call, getting victims to volunteer personal information. Victims (often seniors) generally don’t verify the story until after their money has been sent through a wire transfer service or they have access to personal banking or credit card information to criminals.

To guard against becoming a victim, police advise you to first check with another family member or trusted friend to

verify the information BEFORE sending money or providing credit card information by phone or e-mail. It is vitally important that the incident be reported every time it occurs, to allow police to investigate and find the perpetrators.

“Scammers are counting on the fact that you will want to act quickly to help your loved ones in an emergency. Never send money to anyone you don’t know and trust. Verify the person’s identity before you take any steps to help,” said Inspector Paul Beesley, OPP Anti-Rackets Branch.

If you or someone you know have been the victim of an “emergency scam”, contact your local police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

R0012245093_0808

EMC News – Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) remind seniors and vulnerable citizens that they are primary targets for scammers who prey upon their emotions and rob them of their money.

Members of the OPP Anti-Rackets Branch say the “emergency scam” has been around for many years but it continues to reach across Ontario. The fact that seniors are hesitant to say ‘no’ or to hang up on someone on the phone makes them easy targets for criminals to access substantial sums of money.

“Fraud in all of its forms costs Canadians extraordinary amounts of money.

Increasing awareness is the first step toward reducing its devastating impact.

Reporting the scam then allows police an opportunity to warn other people and minimize the chances of the scam

Support some paws at Laugh for LAWS Aug. 9, 16 and 17

By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

Community – Anyone who owns a dog or cat knows that those furry friends can be an endless source of entertainment and happiness, so it is fitting that an upcoming fundraiser hopes to raise money for animals through laughter.

On Friday, Aug. 9 at Love That Barr in Pakenham, a series of stand-up comedy shows in support of the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) will begin.

The shows, called Laugh for LAWS, will take place at different locations throughout Lanark County.

“I’ve always been a lover of animals,” said Ken Strangway, founder of Lanark Laughs, the organization behind the events.

“I heard that they don’t get a lot of

support so I thought I would so something to change that.”

Lanark Laughs is a comedy business started by Strangway, who is a sheet metal worker by day, two years ago.

They did their first Laugh for LAWS show last winter in Perth and raised over $800 for the shelter.

“It was a huge success,” said Strangway. “It was a great night with a lot of laughs.”

This time there will be a string of three shows: one in Pakenham, one in Perth and one in Almonte, respectively.

The fun begins each night at 8 p.m. and costs $15.

There will also be a 50/50 raffle draw, also to benefit LAWS, at each show.

Tickets will be sold on site.

Strangway says that all of the profits from the shows will be donated to LAWS, which works out to be about one third of the show’s total earnings after

the comedians have been paid and expenses have been accounted for.

Each show will run for about two hours and will feature around six comedians, who are mostly from Ottawa with a few from Toronto, who will provide the laughs.

“This is a great way for new and upcoming comics to get out there and do gigs,” said Strangway.

Strangway said he expects the events to raise a lot of money for the shelter while being a ton of fun.

“It’s a way to help out a good cause but still be able to enjoy a good show.”

Show times: • Aug. 9, 8 p.m.: Love the Barr in Pakenham • Aug. 16, 8 p.m.: O’Reilly’s Pub in Perth • Aug. 17, 8 p.m.: JR’s in Almonte

Important tips to remember when hiring home care help EMC Lifestyle – Are you looking for home care help for you, an elderly parent or someone convalescing after a hospital stay?

Asking some key questions of yourself and potential home care workers will help you find the right level support and the right provider.

It will also save you time – and possibly risk.

The first question you need to ask is “What do I need�? This will dictate the kind of support you require (and ultimately what you will pay for home care help).

If you’re looking for someone to help around the house – housekeeping, shopping, assistance with meal planning/preparation, etc. – you won’t require a Personal Support Worker (PSW).

If you or your loved one is largely independent and capable of directing care, your best option may be a housekeeper or homemaker. Where to find them?

There are home cleaning busi-

nesses in many areas, but don’t overlook your local home support agency. Many home support agencies offer a home cleaning service on a fee-for-service basis.

You can also find housekeeping providers on online homecare job boards such as www.homecareconnect.ca – a free Ontario job board specializing in homecare professionals.

If your loved one has cognitive impairment or limited ability to make decisions or direct care, you’ll likely need a Personal Support Worker (PSW)—someone who has graduated with a PSW certificate from a recognized school. PSWs possess personal care and home support skills and know how to support independent living (helping an individual do things for themselves and not take over).

A certified PSW will have education in cognitive impairment and mental health and have a better understanding into how to support a person with limited ability to direct their own sup-

port. Is the Personal Support Worker on the PSW registry?

If you’ve decided that you will require a PSW, you’ll want to know that the PSW’s credentials have been accepted by Ontario’s PSW Registry.

The PSW registry is a mandatory register for all PSWs employed by publicly-funded health care employers. It lists the names of workers who have completed a formal Ontario PSW program or who have current or recent employment providing personal support in Ontario.

It is important to note that the PSW registry is not a regulatory college like the College of Nurses of Ontario. Being on the PSW registry means an individual has presented their credentials to the PSW registry and they’re been accepted, either because they work in the field or have a PSW certificate.

The registry does not check a worker’s background for criminal convictions, nor is it proof that a worker has the skills you need.

It is up to you to decide whether or not a particular worker’s skills meet your needs. You will also have to make certain that the person is trustworthy. If you are uncertain about doing these checks, you may want to consider obtaining services through an established home support program.

Go to www.ocsa.on.ca for more information on services in your area, or contact your local Community Care Access Centre (CCAC).

Is the individual who they say they are?

You should verify that the individual is who they say there are.

Ask to see government-issued photo ID such as a passport, driver’s licence or Ontario photo card.

Criminal record check Ensure the individual has received a clear criminal record check that’s been issued recently.

Specifically, you want to see a clean and recent vulnerable sector screening. This is a special

type of criminal record check that also checks the abuse registry.

Remember that this screening is valid as of the day it was issued, so you want to make certain it was recently done.

References Ask for employer references and follow up with past employers. You need to ask the individual for permission to contact past employers and make it a condition of employment. Don’t consider applicants who refuse to allow you to contact previous employers. Be suspicious of those who tell you that their previous employers are no longer in business or have passed away.

If possible, it’s best to get a referral from someone you trust.

You still need to do your do due diligence in vetting and hiring the individual, but getting a referral from a trusted source can give you great assurance.

Does the individual have liability insurance?

It is appropriate to ask the person to carry liability insurance which

Know the signs of high blood pressure

By DR. KATIE WESTSTRATE

the pressure remaining in the artery as the heart relaxes and fills with blood.

If either of these is significantly elevated for three or more consecutive readings (taken on different days) – you have “hypertension.�

While optimal blood pressure is less than 120/80mmHG, hypertension is typically not diagnosed until your reading is close to or over 140/90mmHg. In addition to increasing risk of heart attack and stroke, consistently elevated blood pressure is also related to dementia, sexual problems and to heart and kidney failure.

The good news is that you can do something about it. A decrease of even 10mm systolic, or 5mm diastolic, as can occur with simple dietary modification, stress reduction and/or increases in physical activity, will reduce your risk of developing serious complications.

Lifestyle – Heart disease and stroke are two of the top three leading causes of death in Canada, yet one of the primary risk factors for both of these conditions is correctable!

The problem is – you may not know you have it.

Affecting more than one in five Canadians, hypertension, or high blood pressure typically sneaks up silently, leaving few signs or symptoms to indicate its presence.

The Canadian Hypertension Society recommends that healthy adults have their blood pressure checked once a year to ensure it is staying within an optimal range.

If additional risk factors are present, such as diabetes, obesity, smoking history or cardiovascular disease, you should monitor more frequently.

Recommendations for Blood pressure is most commonly measured hypertension and heart health: in the brachial artery of the upper arm. Systolic blood pressure, the top number, represents the • Minimize processed, packaged, and ‘junk’ pressure generated by the heart to pump blood.

Diastolic blood pressure, the bottom number, is foods, focusing instead on a whole foods diet

that is rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains and healthy unsaturated fats (e.g. olive oil, fish, avocado, raw nuts and seeds) • Find ways to reduce and better manage stress such as talk therapy, exercise, yoga, journaling • Exercise regularly • Achieve and maintain a healthy weight for your height • Limit sodium intake and get plenty of potassium from fresh fruits and vegetables • Minimize or eliminate caffeine • Drink alcohol in moderation, if at all • Monitor your blood pressure regularly

SAFETY TIPS Heating: Generators should not be brought inside the home for any reason.

We come to you for: s RETAIL s PRODUCTS s SERVICES s STOREFRONT s HOME BASED s NEW PROFESSIONALS

If you have hypertension, work with your primary care provider to find safe and effective ways to reduce your blood pressure and keep it in a healthy range.

For more information, visit the Canadian Hypertension Society website (www.hypertension.ca) or the Public Health Agency of Canada site at www.phac-aspc.gc.ca.

would cover the individual in the event that you or another are injured while receiving support.

A worker who works on his/ her own should also hold a WSIB clearance. This protects you should the worker be injured while supporting you or your family member.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of questions for prospective home care providers.

However, it does provide some important things to consider and is a good starting point for interviewing potential workers.

New 2014 Mazda6: Change for more than change’s sake Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The Mazda6 I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Kanata Mazda in Ottawa.

Mazda Canada launched their allnew flagship sedan, the Mazda6 at the Montreal Auto Show earlier this year.

I had a chance recently to take one out for a brief run and wasn’t disappointed.

To start, the 6 comes in three trim levels and the price tape begins at $24,495.

My GT tester with the technology option package came in at $34,195 (prices before destination, dealer prep, licensing, taxes, or purchase incentives).

For a main-stream mid-sized, mid$30K sedan it comes with everything you’d expect and a few things you wouldn’t, such as: 19” alloy wheels, HID headlamps with auto dimming and leveling, rain-sensing wipers, voiceactivated navigation with a 5.8” colour screen, power glass moon-roof, and a lane-departure warning system just to

cover the highlights. Of course the 6 is powered by Mazda’s SKYACTIV technology in the form of a 2.5L four-cylinder gasoline engine putting out 184 HP and 185 ft/lb of torque. Both manual and automatic transmission choices are six-speed and the auto box is available with paddle-shifters. Later this year, a 2.2 L turbo-charged diesel option will be available.

Mazda started with a clean design slate for the 6 and exterior looks are bold and attractive. Inside, the cabin has the fit and finish not usually found in non-luxury brands. Quality seat and soft-trim materials welcome you into a great cabin with an easy-to-get-toknow instrument panel and control system. Road noise is limo-quiet and a well-tuned front and rear suspension combined with light alloy 19” wheels, kept things smooth but connected, even on summer road-construction surfaces.

Online acceleration may not be V6 or turbo-charged-snappy, but highway legal road speeds were obtained quickly, passing was confident, and the transmission shifts spot on.

The 2014 Mazda6 is a serious player in the mid-sized sedan market, featuring a quiet ride, high level of comfort and performance. the pump that Mazda’s SKYACTIVE technology relieves. Mazdas boast a section leading 5.1 L/100 km highway and 7.6 L/100 km city (55.4 and 37.2 mpg). The EPA in the US rates the 6 at 48.0 mpg highway and 33.6 mpg city (converted to imperial gallons). The 6’s 62 L tank should deliver a 900 km range according to NRCan ratings (in a 50/50 mix of highway and city driving) and cost around $74 to fill at $1.30/L. A good portion of these results are due to Mazda using a regenerative-brake system which create electricity for storage in a very efficient capacitor. This allows the engine to be freed of parasitic belt-pulley loads as the capacitor can recharge the vehicle’s battery and power various electrical accessories. This system, which Mazda calls i-ELOOP

holds the promise of expanded use in other vehicles and their components.

Safety is well enhanced in the 6 with Mazda’s ‘technology package’ which includes automatic high beam lamp control, lane departure and front object warning systems, radar cruise control, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and smart city brake support.

These use various sensors in the front and rear of the vehicle to extend the driver’s sight-reach and improve reaction times and in the case of smart city braking, the 6 will apply the brakes for you to minimize the risk of colliding with a stopped or slower vehicle ahead in stop and start commuter driving.

On the upkeep side, an air filter runs about $31, front brake pads and rotors are $172 and $104 respectively, and a

dealership oil change will cost around $60. The P225/45R19 tires my tester was equipped with are currently available from a small selection of tire-makers and range from $200 to $375 each.

The mid-sized sedan market is a major one in our area and very crowded with able competitors. The launch of the 2014 Mazda6 shows Mazda is serious about being a player in this game.

While the demographic for this type of vehicle can be wide and varied, one general statement that is allowable is that these buyers are experienced and looking for a higher level of comfort, performance, safety and driveability in their rides. The Mazda6 delivers.

Yours in service, Brian Turner

1958 Chevrolet Cameo pickup on the road again!

EMC Lifestyle - Dan Burdick of Leamington, Ontario, owns a beautifully restored 1958 Chevy Cameo Carrier pickup, one of only 1,405 built that year by GM. Dan’s truck spent its early life in New Mexico before coming to Ontario. He bought it 35 years ago and stored it until he was ready to give it a total restoration. The final result is absolutely spectacular. GM built the Cameo pickup only from 1955 to 1958, and the ’58 model is the only one with quad headlights. The Cameo was given fancy styling in keeping with the styling of the cars from that era, which sported flashy colours and lots of chrome.

Dan started by removing the cab, then sandblasting and painting the frame.

The body was taken to Redi-Strip in Detroit, then brought home for metal finishing, then taken to Pontiac, Michigan, to be re-stripped and electronic primed.

The front clip and both doors came from the late classic car restorer Ron Fawcett in Whitby, Ontario, and these were stripped and repaired.

The new pickup bed insides and front were purchased from Pros Pick in Ontario, as well as wood kit and stainless strips. All stainless was buffed, and the grille and front bumper were rechromed.

The rear bumper ends and bumperettes were rebuilt.

Mark Dimilo Auto Body in Leamington straightened the body and painted it a brilliant red with silver accents. Dan

reassembled the chassis, installed the cab, reassembled the box, relocated the fuel tank from inside the cab to under the bed, and put the fuel fill behind the left rear taillight assembly. A new tinted “Eye E Zerâ€? windshield went in, as well as side windows with power units. Dan installed a new front seat from a 2000 Chevy ½ ton pickup reupholstered by Brad at Apple Auto Glass in Leamington.

Under the hood is a big block Chevy V8 with dual exhausts sending power through a 5-speed floor-mounted Borg Warner transmission to the 10-bolt Positraction rear end. The steering wheel is original and is mated to a Cadillac steering column, giving Dan tilt and telescopic steering. The Dakota Digital Gauges are mounted in the original speedometer area, leaving the dash looking just the same as it did 55 years ago.

Script, Music & Lyrics by A.J. Harbison and Wayne Robert Scott Directed by Lynda Daniluk

Pollyanna’s cold and demanding Aunt Polly is not used to the kind of misadventures that Pollyanna gets into -- including her odd way of befriending total strangers with her infectious smile. Even when faced with adversity, Pollyannna has a secret weapon: a special legacy left to her by her father.

Soon the entire town is playing an unusual game that Pollyanna lives by. Inspired by the classic best selling 1913 novel by Eleanor Porter, this musical features rag time tunes and a patriotic medley, taking audiences back to this charming period in America’s history.

A glimpse at Stewart Park Festival from the inside over the years have commented on the amazing â&#x20AC;&#x153;good vibeâ&#x20AC;? that seems prevalent at SPF when compared to many other festivals. Some of it, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure, is the location with the many shade trees in a beautiful park with the river flowing through. To look out across the park and observe a sea of volunteer shirts,

each doing their bit to make the festival mechanism function, is something to behold. There is a pride that puts a smile on most their volunteering faces just being glad to help out. Some come and do just their shifts while others are there for the duration of the weekend, willing to do whatever is needed, even running home to get something we may needâ&#x20AC;Ś cutlery for backstage, a forgotten drum mat, a music stand. I am blessed to every year see a core of people who show up to help get things set up and keep them running. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing it for so many years, they know what goes where or just needs doing and they do it.

That good vibe extends to the audience as well. A group of campers from Camp

Merrywood, most in wheelchairs visited the festival and were in the artisan area.

A good Samaritan â&#x20AC;&#x153;paid it forwardâ&#x20AC;? to allow several of the girls to get henna tattoos and, while this was going on, it was found out one of them had a birthday that day so the jeweller in the booth next gifted the â&#x20AC;&#x153;birthday girlâ&#x20AC;? a pair of custom made earrings. Nice touch.

One thing I noticed this year was the demographic of those helping out. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the average age was near 50 and over. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an area we need to work on to try and get younger people involved to keep this wonderful happening alive every year. It was gratifying to see one family with teenage children take on an area together, providing set up,

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Some people spend weekends at NASCAR events, horse shows, golf tournaments, hockey or ball tournaments, each with their own excitements, but, there is something incredibly intriguing about the magic seen in and around a community summer music festival. Friends and families gather to attend the annual event, year after year.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been the onsite coordinator of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stewart Park Festival for the past 23 years and, having just packed up this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, wanted to share some observations from behind the scenes.

For those attending a summer festival, most are unaware of, other than shear size, the subtle differences between â&#x20AC;&#x153;pay festivalsâ&#x20AC;? like Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bluesfest and free, community, not for profit festivals like Stewart Park Festival (SPF). You arrive, plunk your chair down in a preferred location, take a seat and start listening. Other than size of the event, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a stage or two, sound systems, food and artisan areas and some great live music. What people are unaware of is how all of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re enjoying got put together.

Both take lots of planning throughout the year. Where pay festivals often have paid staff to coordinate specific areas and budgets to purchase services from a myriad of companies who provide the infrastructure, community festivals rely on volunteers who work with their respective committees to make important activities happen. Committees look after areas such as sponsorship, kids area, kids and adult workshops, artisan and food areas, food for volunteers and musicians; all to keep costs to a minimum yet providing a quality, safe, entertaining festival that must comply with more and more legislation, insurance company expectations, bylaws, etc. SPF is run under the Perth BIA and in partnership with the supportive Town of Perth, so we are able to keep costs down but there are ever increasing costs to keep the festival â&#x20AC;&#x153;freeâ&#x20AC;?. Volunteers meet year round, beg, borrow, rope in friends and family, take holidays and give thousands of hours of volunteer time to make it happen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing scene full of a wonderfully zany crew.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some of what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see.

Though it just looks like a stage cover set up in the park by a company, much planning must go on ahead of time to make sure it gets set up in the right place to allow enough space for speaker towers avoiding the many trees, in a locale that will not negatively affect the huge power lines buried under the park when hammering in securing tent pegs.

People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see how uneven the ground where the stage goes yet, thanks to a volunteer, his transit and a wonderful town crew, much time with levelling feet on the stage under structure, we end up with a level, secure stage.

Musicians need a place to park near the stage which we provide. Their instruments need to get from vehicles to main stage and are often transported back and forth between there and the acoustic workshop stage. Trailers are moved in backstage for an office and change rooms. More than 100 volunteers join in to do their part to make it all work, just like the needed tasks listed and a million others. Its partnerships with community businesses who lend their spaces and expertise to make it happen, often free of charge or at reduced rates.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud to be part of such a giving community.

MUSICAL From page 29

The friendships built are supportive and ongoing, no matter the age.

Another observation was throughout the broad styles of music, all the wonderful musicians who are on their way up or down the popularity chain of their music discipline, there was a welcome lack of crazy egos that can create havoc sometimes.

The Wendy Laut Stage offers two days of different musical gatherings of musicians who would not normally play together, often with magical results.

One I caught a bit of was the sweet, powerful vocals of Laura Smith, veteran kids performer Fred Penner and the a cappella four-man vocal group Cadence, all joining in together. Laura Smith later played the main stage, backed by Jamie Campbell, Terry Tufts and Kathryn Briggs and it was incredibly powerful to see most of the audience simultaneously rise to their feet together for a standing ovation. The power of music was exemplified as myself and the emcee, two good sized men were taking in Laura’s show side stage with tears streaming down our faces. Her new CD Everything is Moving, sold out at the CD tent quickly. (I cannot recommend this disc more highly. It’s a wonderful

piece of work).

As I paused the odd time it was gratifying to see all our hard work being enjoyed as I looked out at the park full of people at both stages, the families and their kids playing around the river and in the kids area, people picnicking and grooving to the tunes. It’s good for our souls to stop sometimes and just listen.

Though we had to stop Friday’s show at 4 p.m. due to tornado warnings, it was wonderful to see the after hours venues full that night.

A major thank you goes to all the generous sponsors who donated funds, the Town of Perth, (especially Karen Fox), for their support, the SPF board who work year round, the more than 100 volunteers, the great musicians who grace our stage and of course the audience, more than half from out of town who come to enjoy the weekend, hopefully donate generously and share the good vibes with others. Planning is already underway for the 24th annual Stewart Park Festival in 2014. I hope you’ll join us in helping bring such a wonderful spirit to our wee town.

Upcoming event Saturday, Aug. 17: Westport Music Festival. Admission is free.

Washington and Wahlberg team up in fun buddy-cop film

MARK HASKINS

EMC Arts - I love a slick buddycop film. The kind of gritty crime story where your two heroes have everything and everyone against them, and all they have are their wits, their guns and a few clever one-liners. 2 Guns is just that kind of film.

Bobby (Denzel Washington) and Stig (Mark Wahlberg) open things up with what looks like a bank robbery. Earlier they made a deal with a Mexican drug lord named Papi Greco (Edward James Olmos). Papi backed out of the deal so the two figure they can get something back by robbing Papi's bank.

What neither Bobby nor Stig realize is that both of them are working undercover. Bobby is undercover DEA, and Stig is working for naval intelligence.

The other thing neither one realizes is that it isn’t Papi's bank. It is the CIA's.

Someone set Bobby and Stig up to rob an illegal CIA slush fund. Both become wanted men abandoned and betrayed by their own people. The only way out is to work together to figure out who set them up. Of course by that point you almost

zel Washington and Mark Wahlberg.

Washington can play anything, is good in anything, and makes whatever movie he's in better. Wahlberg is a great action hero and good actor in his own right.

The two together are buddy cop magic.

The play between them alone is worth the price of admis-

sion.

The rest of the cast isn't hurting the film either. Paula Patton adds some sizzle to the screen, James Marsden does a nice turn as a rotten guy, and Edward James Olmos nails the ruthless Mexican drug lord. Then there's Bill Paxton. Pax-

ton plays Earl the CIA agent messing with everyone, and I must say Paxton has a real knack for playing truly nasty villains.

2 Guns is a summer time gem.

My Take

feel sorry for the villains.

There's a real cathartic pleasure in watching two charismatic heroes with nothing to lose, and who refuse to let the law get in the way of what's right, do what needs to be done. 2 Guns has that along with some betrayal, corruption, and a double cross or two. Throw in a few gun fights, a little sex appeal, and the kind of sleazy villains that make your skin crawl, and you have a great summer flick.

With all that going for 2 Guns, there are two things that really stand out. One is the pace of the film. It isn’t a non-stop gun fight or car chase which is kind of unusual for a summer movie. Instead director Kormakur takes the time to draw the audience into this seedy and corrupt world. He builds up the story and the characters and intersperses the action almost sparingly which serves to make it more exciting.

The second thing is the team of Den-

Eddie and Marjie Bellem celebrate Eddie’s recent triple gold medal performance at the National Senior Games held in Cleveland, Ohio. They are pictured on their back deck in Rideau Lakes Township, just outside Portland.

Local nonagenarian is triple gold winner at National Senior Games

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Sports – Eddie Bellem has something to smile about.

His recent triple gold medal performance would be a huge accomplishment for any athlete, but it’s even more special for the Rideau Lakes Township resident.

He’s 90 years young and has no plans of drying off any time soon.

“I love swimming,” he said from his home just outside Portland.

He and his wife Marjie recently returned from the National Senior Games in Cleveland, Ohio, where he competed in the 50-yard backstroke (1.06:23), 100-yard backstroke (2.27:89) and the 50-yard freestyle (50:08).

“I didn’t have a lot of competition in Canada, and I thought, why not go to the United States to compete,” he said with a laugh. “We had a lot of fun, but I was supposed to compete in four events.”

Bellem said his longer event took a lot out of him, so he removed himself from his fourth race, the 50-yard breaststroke.

“After the 100-yard backstroke, I wasn’t feeling well enough to compete in the next event, and I didn’t really like that one anyway,” he said.

Marjie added that they had talked about it prior to the competition.

“We agreed that if he didn’t feel up to it, he shouldn’t do it. Why bother with something he didn’t like anyway?” she said.

Bellem added that three gold medallions was more than enough of a medal haul. It sure turned some heads in the process.

“It was funny when some young female athletes were congratulating him and hugging him,” Marjie said. “They asked if I minded… of course I didn’t mind them hugging him. I thought it was great.”

This was his first trip to the U.S. nationals. Since 1996, he has competed in several Ontario and Canadian Senior Games competitions, where he has earned a drawer full of gold and silver medals in the pool.

And it’s not just swimming he enjoys, but he and his wife are members of the Smiths Falls Lawn Bowling Club. He’s even earned district acco-

lades with triples and doubles teams.

Bellem is no stranger to the competitive swimming life. As a young man, he swam competitively in Indonesia, where he lived.

“That was the Dutch East Indies,” he said. “I came to Canada in 1961 and lived in Ottawa until just 25 years ago,” he said.

This former high tech researcher found and married Marjie, who worked in the judiciary department, some 33 years ago. They say the secret of a successful marriage is “love” and having fun with each other.

“We have a lot of fun,” Marjie said, as she snuggled up to her husband for a smooch while draping a medal around his neck for a photograph.

From their back deck, a beautiful

view of the countryside can be seen for miles. But right off the deck is another project.

“I’m in the middle of putting up a new salt-water pool,” Bellem said.

He’s had to replace his pool after some 25 years – the past seven, it was a salt-water oasis.

“The rust got at it,” he said. “When you have a salt-water pool, you have to make sure that the lining is made for it.”

After obtaining some local estimates, he found a much better bargain online.

It was just delivered recently, and now he’s faced with the challenge of putting it all together.

“I need a bit of help,” he said.

But for the most part, they take care of their own property, and each other.

Cultural Mapping workshops on offer News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Heritage Elizabethtown-Kitley Committee invites you to participate in one of two workshops for the purpose of compiling data about what fundamentally makes your neighbourhood and township a great place to live.

Referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cultural Assetsâ&#x20AC;?, this information will help create a map, or maps, of the Elizabethtown-Kitley Township which will eventually be made available on-line.

This provincially funded project is all about community building and attracting visitors and economic opportunities to the area.

The first of two Workshops is at the Toledo township office on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will include a brief presentation by the cultural mapping coordinator, Lynne Clifford-Ward, followed by â&#x20AC;&#x153;hands-on participationâ&#x20AC;? by attendees.

Workshop participants will be broken into small groups and asked to help build Elizabethtown-Kitley data lists in the following Cultural Resources categories: Creative Cultural Industries (such as artists, musicians, craftspersons); Cultural Heritage (such as historic sites, buildings, cemeteries, aboriginal sites); Community Cultural Organizations (such as community, arts or religious organizations); Cultural Spaces and Facilities (such as libraries, museums, halls, sport facilities); Natural Heritage (such as

forests, parks, conservation areas, farms, scenic areas); and, Festivals and Events (such as fairs, craft festivals, art tours, sporting events).

A light lunch will be included with both workshops. There is no cost involved but Workshop preregistration is required.

Please register for the Toledo Workshop with lcliffordward@ gmail.com or call 1.800.492.3175

by Sept.10.

A second Workshop with similar format is planned for Heritage Place Museum, Lyn, on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Well, you will not be surprised that many of our English language expressions originate in England (makes sense). In particular this expression is a sailing term.

Sailing into the wind is called sailing â&#x20AC;&#x153;by the windâ&#x20AC;?. Sailing with the wind coming from behind is called sailing â&#x20AC;&#x153;at large to the windâ&#x20AC;?.

Now some ships were better sailers â&#x20AC;&#x153;by the windâ&#x20AC;? and others were better at â&#x20AC;&#x153;large to the windâ&#x20AC;?.

If a ship was a good sailer both â&#x20AC;&#x153;by and largeâ&#x20AC;? then it was a good sailer at all points of the compass. It was a good sailer from all perspectives (from all points of view).

So now when we use the expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;by and largeâ&#x20AC;?, we have forgotten its original sailing use, but we have retained the basic idea - â&#x20AC;&#x153;from all perspectives or from all points of viewâ&#x20AC;?.

Next time letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at â&#x20AC;&#x153;nip and tuckâ&#x20AC;?.

A giant sale to save the animals hsorour@perfprint.ca

News - It is that time of the year and Mel’s Farm is in high fundraising gear this month preparing for its second annual Mel’s Farm All Animal Rescue Giant Yard Sale on Aug. 10 at the Cornelia Court parking lot. All proceeds from the garage sale go to rescuing and caring for animals.

“With every fundraiser we have we give a little bit to different rescue organizations in Lanark County and surrounding area,” said Mel Young, owner of the rescue sanctuary.

For example, proceeds from this garage sale will be used to purchase paper towels and Kleenex for Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, and pay for a spay or neuter for one of the cats rescued by the cat lady in Smiths Falls, to help Beaks, Wings, Tails ‘n’ Things with either a vet bill or a needed item. Some of the funds will be donated to I Am Alive Dog Rescue for transportation costs, and just recently Young has started an Emergency Vet Care Fund for an animal in need from LAWS. “For us, rescuing animals is not a competition, we don’t care where the animal is as long as it is being rescued,”

said Young.

Though Mel realizes that she might no be able to reach every single animal that needs help, she’s determined to do more than just her best.

“It’s my passion, and it breaks my heart to think about missing just one animal that could be helped,” said Young, who credits the volunteers who help her, and the community that supports her.

No animal is too weird for Young either, so far the strangest animal she’s rescued has been a Tarantula, but she has also rescued skunks, rabbits, squirrels, fawns, chipmunks and more.

“I rescued a cow once and found her a forever foster home!” said Young.

The biggest difficulties she faces are finding spaces and foster homes for rescued animals and of course funding, because while the community is generous with its donations, vet bills can be quite alarming.

“We’re a totally not-forprofit organization, and all our operating expenses come from the kindness of others and our fundraising events,” said Linda Bell, fundraising coordinator with Mel’s farm.

Anyone interested in fostering an animal, is encouraged to contact Mel’s Farm and fill out an application. If anyone is looking for a specific breed of animal to keep, say a Rottweiler - or a Persian cat, Young keeps a list and if applicants qualify to care for the animal they could become a saviour.

“Remember it is one thing to want an animal, but another to be able to take care of it and give it the quality of life it needs,” said Young.

The giant yard sale is a great place to shop knowing that every penny spent will go to animals in need. The goal will be raising enough funds at the sale to save as many animals as possible.

“There’s something for everyone, it really is a giant garage sale, because people Submitted photo call us all the time to donate All part of the Mel’s Farm operation, Linda Bell, fundraising coordinator, Helen Young, items, as they re-organize and that either they drop off, Mel’s mother and greatest supporter and volunteer Tracy Johnston. or we pick up,” said Bell.

Right now Mel’s Farm has approximately 15 animals in Contact us at: care - the numbers fluctuates £ÇäÓÊ Ì Ê iÊ iV Ü Ì Ê,, Ó]Ê >À iÌ Ê* >Vi]Ê" ÊUÊ Ç ÊÎ*Ó each and every day, as some i iÀ> Ê µÕ À iÃ\ÊȣΠÓxÇ £xÎ Ê ÀÊ£ nää xÎx {xÎÓ animals find homes and new animals find sanctuary. *ÕL VÊ7 À Ã\ÊȣΠÓxÇ £n£äÊ ÀÊ£ nää xÎx {xÎ{Ê­È£ÎÊ>Ài>ÊV `i® “Our only goal is to help cmoyle@twp.beckwith.on.ca the community rescue and rehome the animals,” said Young.

Hospital short on meal assist volunteers

Awaiting his turn

The meals themselves are prepared by a dietitian and the kitchen staff and sent up completely prepared and ready to consume.

“There is no feeding involved, it is just assistance,” said Cleary.

There is a process that volunteers have to complete before they can join the meal assist team, explains Cleary.

“They need to fill out an application along with a form for a police records check that will then be forwarded to human resources.”

Both the application and the form are available at the main desk at the hospital.

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

News - An hour and a half is not a lot, but it would make a huge difference to patients at the Smiths Falls site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital to have a few more volunteers at meal times.

“Right now I have three people that can cover Mondays to Wednesday, and I have a part-time volunteer for Thursdays, but I don’t have anyone for Friday,” said Joanne Cleary, coordinator for the meal assist program.

The program needs one or two more volunteers to help patients get ready for their lunch Volunteering at the hospital is as much - offering bibs, opening up those difficult yogurt and pudding containers, serving juice or about giving as it is about receiving she says.

“I do it because it gets me out of the house tea, and collecting trays. It’s only from 11:30 and gives me a sense of self-worth.” a.m. until 1 p.m. or less.

David Boyd, Town Crier for the Township of Rideau Lakes, awaits his turn to compete at Confederation Basin on Friday morning.

He was in Kingston last week, competing in the World Town Crier Competition. The event was held in Canada for the first time in its history.

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO - August 14, 1913

Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Carley and little son Merrill are leaving for their home in Brandon this week.

Was scorching hot last week with the climax on Sunday when reputable thermometers registered 98 degrees in the shade. It is even reporter that the register at CPR station was 102. Anyway, everybody is agreed that it was the hottest day that ever was. During the afternoon, a big storm blew up from the west and a heavy fall of rain did much to cool and clear the atmosphere. Sunday night, the wind got around towards the north and yesterday and today have been perfect summer days.

The water is going down in the Rideau pretty fast these days and it looks as if it might be fairly low this autumn. The Ottawa Free Press says that if the level of the Ottawa River continues to fall at its present rate, there is going to be trouble at the canal locks. The height of the river at the foot of the locks is now seven feet, four inches. If the l3evel falls another foot, there will not be enough water in the lower sill of the locks to float a canal boat. Then navigation between the Ottawa and Rideau rivers will be stopped.

50 YEARS AGO - August 8, 1963 Federal Transportation Minister the Hon. George J. McIlrath has indicated that the government policy concerning the leasing of public docking facilities to private enterprise is to be reopened for study. The minister gave the assurance to a four-man delegation from Smiths Falls, headed by Mayor Arnold Gough, which travelled to Ottawa to protest such dock leasing; specifically the former public wharf at Rideau Ferry, now operated by J.J. Fitzgerald.

Smiths Falls youth population will increase by more than 800 on Tuesday, August 20. This is the date established for the visit in town by children who come under the supervision of the Ottawa parks and recreation department..

Colonoscopy - is it time for your booty call?

After being on a waiting list for about four years, a Jasper man was given a new lease on life after he received a heart transplant on July 18, 1988. George Pryce, was given his gift by Dr. Wilbert Keon, and was discharged from hospital just 17 days following surgery.

Last month, Mrs. Pryce said he was in for a week having tests and about 9:30 p.m. he got a call that they were going ahead with the surgery. Dr. Keon and his team of doctors and nurses replaced the heart with the donor heart at 6:45 p.m. the following day. Mr. Pryce, who operated his own excavating business until six years ago, suffered from continuous heart failure and had a very enlarged heart. He was taken on and off the waiting list as his condition changed over the years.

Smiths Falls Fire Chief Bill Hurlbert, acting fire Chief Gene Gray and town council are playing the waiting game. Chief Hurlbert has been off work since July 17, 1987 for health reasons and indications are he will never return to active duty with the fire department.

Lifestyle – Colonoscopy – just the word itself is enough to send a shiver down my spine, but my dear cousin and aunts were quick with advice and soothing words to calm this worried soul.

The best advice was not to be too far from home while “prepping” for the procedure.

Lovely.

The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has recently been the recipient of new colonoscopy equipment.

I was scheduled for one this summer and I was having a small meltdown because of it.

My cousin recently went through a bout of colon cancer, and because we are first cousins, it was recommended all women over 40 in the family have a colonoscopy to be on the safe side.

Oh goodie.

Right up there with the good old breast exam, I was poked and prodded and pulled and squished in all directions last month.

Now the breast exam is not so bad – almost no prep involved.

But not so fast for the good ol’ colonos-

10 YEARS AGO - August

A proposed boundary re-alignment between the town and Rideau Lakes township which would pave the way for the construction of a new $11 million Wal-Mart on town services did face some opposition at a public meeting last Thursday night.

Compiled by Laurie Weir

LAURIE WEIR Weir View copy.

This is a waiting game, and I’m not too patient.

My first concern was recovery. How soon could I get back to work? I was scheduled for the procedure on a Friday, and luckily, I was off that Thursday and Friday because I was to work that weekend. Would I be able to function though, was my worry.

“Yes, you will be fine once the drugs wear off and you’ve slept for a while, but you won’t be able to drive for 24 hours,” the nurse told me. “In fact, it is like you’re impaired for that length of time, and it’s not recommended that you sign any important paperwork, or drive heavy machinery for at least a day.”

So using a brush hog to combat that poison parsnip on the property was out of the question.

Small celebration there.

“How long will it take?”

“Aside from the bowel cleanse, which is an all-day affair, the procedure itself is just minutes,” she said.

Oh joy.

“And nothing to eat except Jell-O, hard candies or frothy egg whites.”

Sounds appetizing. Mental eye roll. At least I could have coffee.

But the absolute worst part of the whole experience was having to force down four litres – that’s a gallon! – of clear liquid in eight hours. Nasty stuff.

Procedure day arrives and I’m ready to roll, but did I mention how impatient I am?

I’m at the Perth hospital for 8:30 a.m. and wasn’t out until 12:30 p.m. while the entire time in the operating room was actually four minutes. It said so on the paperwork.

DEATH NOTICE

McGOWAN John Francis (June 25, 1922 July 28, 2013) Passed away at LHSC on Sunday, July 28, 2013.

Born in Montreal, John was one of 11 children of John Phillip and Rose Ellen McGowan.

All of his siblings predeceased him: Alphonse, Mary, Catherine, Bernard, Bernice, Margaret, Francis, Neil, Peter and Stanley. John loved to recount tales of growing up on St. Urbain Street, attending McGee High and playing for three hockey teams at once. He joined the Army in 1940, as he said, in order to play more hockey. Instead he received training in Canada and England. He served valiantly in the 17th Royal Duke of York Hussars for the duration of the war. He was a sergeant in the reconnaissance unit that saw tense and highly dangerous action throughout France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. He refused an offer to take officer’s training so he could stay with his men. He carried the names of some those killed in action in his wallet and prayed for them every day. His active service ended about 10 days short of the Armistice when his car was bombed and he jumped clear only to severely injure his ankle in the hard landing. After the war John worked for CPR for 35 years as a locomotive fireman and engineer and latterly as a diesel engineer. He loved the railroad and frequently regaled his audience with stories about his co-workers and the tricks they played on one another.

John was predeceased by his cherished wife of 63 years, Ursula (2011). He is survived and lovingly remembered by all of the children of his large and blended family: Donald Lenaghan (Wilma), Lorne Lenaghan (Dianne), Peter McGowan (Shirley), Kathleen McGowan (Don Blay) and Edward McGowan (Bonnie Dunbar) and by grandchildren Karen, Heather, Colleen, Randy, Brent, Brad, Jennifer, John, Katie Anne, Victoria, Duncan and Lucas and great grandchildren David, Moira, Mackenzie, Shamus, Becky, Ryan, Andrew, Jamie, Rachel, Alanah, Keegan, Matthew, John and Andrew and was immensely proud of each of them. This wonderful blended family expanded to add the Blays, Ben, Sarah and Tony and, much to Dads delight, Rylan and Tatum Blay. He loved and was immensely proud of all of these young persons. He is also lovingly remembered by his many nieces and nephews. John had a cotillion of friends over the years. He was an immensely social man who treated everyone the same and always made people smile with his sense of humour which was alive and healthy into his final days in the hospital. The family is most grateful to the amazing staff and wonderful residents at Amica of London for their many kindnesses and great friendship.

We will always be indebted to the nursing staff of 4 IP at LHSC for their attentiveness and gentle care. They are unsung heroes in a milieu often fraught with pain and suffering. The Funeral Mass took place Friday, August 2, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at St. George Catholic Church, 1164 Commissioners Road, London (Byron) Ontario. Visitation was held at the Church an hour before Mass. In lieu of flowers donations to your favourite charity would be appreciated. A. Millard George Funeral Home entrusted with arrangements (519-433-5184).

The McEwen family of Beckwith Township dates back to 1818 when the first settlers came from Scotland to Canada. In the intervening years, they have made their mark in agriculture, nursing, medicine, teaching and public service to name some of these areas. The part of the McEwen family we are concerned with here is the one located on the 8th Line of Beckwith. From the 1920’s, Harold and Helene McEwen farmed and raised their family of six children: Donald, Marjorie, Joan and Margaret (twins), Eveyln and Janet. From this family were to come 15 grandchildren, 36 great grandchildren and 5 great great grandchildren. In the past year, we have lost two of this family and their obituaries are printed below.

DEATH NOTICE

CARKNER, (Barber), Anne - In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and grandmother who passed away August 8, 2011.

God looked around his garden And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful He always take the best.

He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain.

He knew that you would never Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb.

So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine”.

It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

Loved and dearly missed by your husband Allan, children and grandchildren.

HOCKNEY John (Jack) B. Jack Hockney, the husband of Margaret passed away on April 1, 2013 at the Grand River Hospital, Freeport Health Care Centre, with his family by his side.

Jack was in his 82nd year, a very active member of St. James Rosemount United Church in Kitchener, Ontario and a retiree from Maple Lane Dairies (In truth, Jack was ‘the ice cream man’). He was the loving husband of 60 years of Margaret McEwen, and the dear father of Lynn and her husband Rob McLoughlin, Bill and his wife Sandy, Bev and her husband Ron Lee, Bob and his wife Robin, and Lori Armstrong of Fergus, and beloved grandpa to Jordan, Kyle, Sean, Tanya, Amanda, Brad, Ryan, Nicole, Scott, Kristy, Adam and Daniel and four great grandchildren Dominic, Makenna, Ryder and Alexis. Jack was predeceased by his parents William Hockney and Minnie Lucas, one brother Bill Hockney and son in law Steve Armstrong in 2008. Jack was a good and caring man who took a strong interest in his family, being with them in their figure skating as a family and going to their events in sports or in school.

He was involved in the cottage life on Bass Lake, a long drive from Sarnia and then Kitchener. As for his sports teams allegiance, he was definitely all Toronto blue.

A service celebrating his life was held in St. James Rosemount United Church in Kitchener on April 4th 2013, with his wife and several of his children and grandchildren taking part and led by the minister Rev. Christina Boyd.

KINGSLEY Marjorie Is is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Marjorie Kingsley surrounded by her loving family on Monday July 15, 2013 at the age of 84.

Marjorie fought a brave battle with cancer over the past 2 and a half years. Daughter of the late Harold and Helene McEwen, she was predeceased by her husband Wilson and granddaughter Alexa. She is survived by her daughters Kathryn and Nancy (David Seto) and sons David (Seada) and Donald (Erin, Kolton), grand children Tara, Weston, Noah, Devin, Ciara, Cassandra, Amy, Wayde, Allyson, Steven, Raymond, Kristina, Alex, and great granddaughter Maya. Dear sister of Janet (John Lebrun), Evelyn (Rev. Larry Paul), Margaret (the late Jack Hockney), Joan (the late Jack McDiarmid), and Donald (the late Edna and the late Zelma).

Majorie was an elementary school teacher Ottawa, a very active member of the former Westboro United Church, an avid card player – especially bridge, for which she would travel here and there to play, and loving it every time. Over the years she was a gracious hostess to an assortment of boarders, relatives and friends. A service celebrating Marjorie’s life was held in The Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes on July 19, 2013, led by Rev. Jenni Leslie, and with some of her children, grandchildren and brotherin-law Rev. Larry Paul, who played a piano version of her favourite tune ‘Maple Sugar’ as a tribute.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

BOLGER, Howard, 1922 - 2009 – In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away August 6, 2009.

The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you.

We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same.

For those who still have their loved ones, Treat them with tender care, You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and they are not there.

Forever in our hearts, always in our prayers.

Your wife Valma and family

She is gone, but not forgotten, As it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of her are always near.

To us you were so special, What more is there to say, Except to wish with all our hearts, That you were here today.

They say that time heals everything, But we know it isn’t so, Because it hurst as much today, As it did five years ago.

Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all your family

Joining the backlash against hand-held device abuse Lifestyle – The proliferation of portable devices has moved from being an annoyance to crisis proportions with innocent individuals paying the price for other people’s addiction to these hand-held communications units.

I have long been an advocate of more consequences when drivers are caught using cellular telephones while operating a motor vehicle or, even worse, are seen by police while they are texting behind the wheel.

Among all the forms of distracted driving which are plaguing society at present, texting is the most prevalent and easily the most dangerous. How can anyone safely operate a vehicle while they are sending texts?

Unfortunately most offenders are not deterred by the possibility of a $155 fine (in Ontario). They know the likelihood of being caught in the act is minimal. The same odds as being detected speeding. The reality is there aren’t enough police and most of the time officers are tied up with other matters. Therefore most people aren’t the least bit concerned about being caught.

Every day I see people driving while brazenly talking on a cellphone, or I notice motorists who are looking down as they very obviously use their hand held device to send a text or email. I witness this kind of activity literally everywhere we travel. It’s a global epidemic and a very serious one!

The dangers related to the foolish misuse of cellphones was brought home to my wife and me recently when a friend of ours in Scotland barely escaped with her life from a motor vehicle mishap involving cellphone abuse.

The young lady in question was driving to work when a car zoomed out of a private drive directly into her path. The man in the other vehicle was talking on his mobile phone and apparently failed to notice he had entered the traveled portion of a busy roadway.

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Our friend tried evasive action but it was too late. She slammed into the side of the other vehicle at speed.

She was trapped in her car and had to be freed by firefighters. Police say the only thing that saved her was the airbags in her new generation vehicle which inflated on impact. Her nose was broken by the bag which exploded from the steering column. She also suffered a small fracture in the pelvis, an injury that forced her to be immobile and left her in considerable pain.

She was off work for several weeks.

All because someone decided talking on their cellphone was more important than his driving. He was subsequently charged with careless driving. He will also be fined under the law which exists in the United Kingdom forbidding the use of handheld devices in a moving motor vehicle.

Small consolation for our young friend who ended up with a painful pelvic injury, a broken nose, swollen face and two black eyes. Her new car was a total write-off.

As for the other driver, he escaped without a scratch!

Cellphone addict The father of our acquaintance, who happened upon the scary scene minutes after it happened, saw the other motorist still talking on his phone (for more than 20 minutes apparently). Meanwhile rescuers were working to free his daughter from her wrecked vehicle. To say the least Dad was not amused!

The issue involved is obvious.

More has to be done to stop this dangerous activity wherever it is happen-

ing. In the western world at least, that is everywhere!

It’s not just distracted drivers either. There is a growing number of distracted pedestrians too although obviously it’s difficult to legislate against that problem. Unless of course the actions of portable device users lead to a collision.

The reality is that more and more people are stepping into traffic and winding up in hospital because they are texting, emailing or talking on their cellphone as they walk.

An American study reveals that in 2010 more than 1,500 pedestrians were treated in US emergency rooms for injuries related to using a cellphone while walking. Others died of their injuries. And the study shows the incidence of this kind of activity is steadily rising. Estimates are that by 2015 the number of injuries to pedestrians using cellphones will be double the 2010 figure.

Experts blame so-called “smart phones” for the increase in motor vehicle crashes and pedestrian accidents related to cellphone use. That’s because the wide array of functions available on these devices is all the more distracting to those addicted to their use.

The US study found those involved, mainly people 24 years of age and under, were so distracted at the time of their accident that they were totally unaware of their surroundings.

The good news? Fortunately there is a growing movement among portable device users to try and wean themselves off the constant use of these gadgets. Many texting addicts (yes, this has become a recognized affliction folks) are beginning to fight the urge to send messages constantly.

Some people – usually teenagers – are up all night sending and receiving texts, usually about the most inane things imaginable. The most seriously addicted are sending between 200 and 300 texts in every 24 hour period according to recent studies in North America.

Seriously, when do they have time to do anything else?

Teen texters eventually become teen drivers and – well, you can imagine the rest.

I heard part of a radio talk show on this subject recently. A number of the callers raised my hope that this trend will eventually run its course with many people. Perhaps that will lead to a decline in public use of portable devices and cellphones?

One male caller said he suddenly realized, while sitting in a restaurant with three friends, that all of them were texting other people and not talking among themselves.

“I thought ‘how ridiculous’. Time to put this thing away.’ I told my friends the same thing and everyone ended up turning off their smart phones. We spent the rest of the night focused on each other,” he said.

Hallelujah – some people are finally starting to get it!

I am now hearing similar stories from friends and acquaintances when this subject comes up. A growing number of people are annoyed with this sort of distraction in public (it’s a darn nuisance to be honest). More and more people are asking offenders to turn off their devices and put them away.

For me the best evidence of just how big a problem this has become occurred during a stop at a store in downtown Burlington, Vermont during our visit to the northeastern U.S. in late June.

Clearly staff at the emporium in question are fed up with customers who can’t even stay off their cellphone long enough to complete a transaction. Pasted to the back of the cash register was this very pointed message. “Putting your phone away and paying attention to those talking to you. There’s an app for that. It’s called RESPECT!” If you have any comments or questions for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Farm Credit Canada launches 10th Drive Away Hunger program News – Farm Credit Canada (FCC) and its partners throughout the country will strive to collect a record five million pounds of food for Canada’s food banks this year to mark the 10th anniversary of the FCC Drive Away Hunger program.

“To date, we’ve collected the equivalent of almost 10 million pounds of food through Drive Away Hunger,” said FCC president and chief executive officer Greg Stewart.

“To mark this anniversary, we want to surpass this mark by collecting another five million pounds of food.”

“That’s a lot of food, but the problem of hunger weighs heavily on everyone and we are proud to do our part to help feed those less fortunate,” added Stewart, noting that hunger touches nearly a million Canadians each month, many of whom are children.”

FCC’s Drive Away Hunger program involves driving a tractor and trailer through various communities to collect food and cash donations for food banks across the country. One hundred per cent of donations go to Canadian food banks, and anyone can visit www.fccdriveawayhunger. ca to make a cash donation.

At the May 7 launch, FCC donated $100,000 to Food Banks Canada.

Half of this amount will be used by

Food Banks Canada to support all individuals and families who use food bank services, while the remainder will be equally split between Hunger Awareness Week and the Rural Support Program, which provides additional support and resources to food banks based in rural communities.

This year, FCC Drive Away Hunger program tours will take place the week of Oct. 14 in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan, including the FCC corporate office in Regina. FCC is also collecting food and cash donations in field offices across Canada from May 7 to Oct. 18.

“This initiative is an excellent example of the generosity and sense of community found throughout Canadian farm families,” said Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. “I’m happy to see FCC and the agriculture community continue to demonstrate leadership through the Drive Away Hunger program.”

FCC’s enthusiastic partners are also a major reason for Drive Away Hunger’s success year after year.

As a platinum partner, BDO, national accounting and financial advisory firm, has once again committed to collecting food for the Drive Away Hunger program. BDO has raised more than 651,000 pounds of food THE EMC - 48 - Thursday, August 8, 2013

and $185,000 since 2008.

“On behalf of BDO, I am thrilled to announce our continued support of the FCC Drive Away Hunger campaign,” said Keith Farlinger, chief executive officer, BDO. “This will be our sixth year of participation, joining forces from coast to coast to collect food and monetary donations. We are proud to partner with FCC once again to assist Canadians in need across the country.”

Parrish and Heimbecker Limited (New Life Mills) and Windset FarmsTM are also national partners playing an important role across Canada in collecting donations and helping FCC achieve its goal.

FCC Drive Away Hunger began in 2004 when an employee in Ontario organized a local tractor tour. He collected food donations from his local community as a way to give back and help food banks serve people in need.

Since then, FCC Drive Away Hunger has grown dramatically, with 9.2 million pounds of food and $760,000 collected to date.

“As one of Food Banks Canada’s top 10 food drives, FCC’s Drive Away Hunger campaign is making an impact in rural communities across the country,” said Katharine Schmidt, executive director, Food Banks Canada. “The passion and drive of their

employees is inspiring and is a testament to the commitment they have to their communities. We are thrilled to partner with FCC in 2013 and wish them a successful and food-filled 10th anniversary.”

FCC is socially and environmentally responsible. Corporate social responsibility activities are focused in five areas: agriculture and food, customers, community, employees and the environment. Drive Away Hunger is one way FCC fosters strong and vibrant communities where its customers and employees live and work.

As Canada’s leading agriculture lender, FCC is advancing the business of agriculture. With a healthy portfolio of more than $25 billion and 20 consecutive years of portfolio growth, FCC is strong and stable – committed to serving the industry through all cycles. FCC provides financing, insurance, software, learning programs and other business services to producers, agribusinesses and agri-food operations. FCC employees are passionate about agriculture and committed to the success of customers and the industry. For more information, visit www.fcc.ca. Follow FCC on Twitter @FCCagriculture.

Yes, of course this means I have a small-l liberal bent which explains the stand I took with Montague Council in 2005, and I was very happy then to accept the support I received from the many local PC folks who agreed with my position. Sadly however, the LLA/ LLO has changed greatly since.

It wasn’t so bad though, as everyone was super nice.

I was given my fine hospital attire and laid out on a stretcher and watched Oprah on a big screen with about 12 others – men and women – in the room. A man in a bed beside me was busy on his smart phone.

“Hey,” I said to him. “Lookie here… we’re bed mates and I don’t even know your name.”

He just laughed. “Looks like we’re in here for the same thing.”

Awkward moment.

When the doctor grabbed the handles on my stretcher and wheeled me into the OR, we had some idle chitchat.

“It won’t be long, but there is a chance that I could puncture the bowel and if that happens, you’ll be going into surgery,” he said, and grinned.

Swell.

Before I knew it, I was waking up in the recovery room, and there was my pre-op almost-bed buddy, just getting his feet under him. We sat for the doctor to clear us, while we ate muffins, cheese and crackers, and had a drink. Instructions for post-procedure care were provided, and the next round of patients was wheeled through the production line.

It was over before I knew it, and all that worry was for naught. Thankfully, I’m good for another 5,000 kilometres.

DEAR EDITOR: This is an open letter to Tom Black, president of the Ontario Landowners Association, and to Jeff Bogaerts, president of the Lanark Landowners Association.

As you may know, I was a very early member of the Lanark Landowners Association, from which the Ontario association has since sprung.

Randy Hillier, now our MPP, was founder of both organizations. Randy was a great help to my wife and me when Montague Township Council brought an outrageous lawsuit against us. Randy helped raise funds for our lawyer and in 2005 he sat with me at the court hearing in Perth when we won dismissal of the lawsuit. In appreciation, I have since had a large LLA sign on my corner Montague property. It was erected in 2005 by a happy crew headed by Randy himself, in those days when our individual politics did not get in the way.

But over the years since I have become more and more uncomfortable with the public positions that the LLA and OLA have taken.

I certainly respect those who support political parties different from my own. I myself came from a Progressive Conservative family, although I became a social democrat as a graduate student in Britain and have been a New Democrat

EXPLANATORY NOTE The Village of Merrickville-Wolford is preparing an OFFICE CONSOLIDATION of the comprehensive Zoning By-law. The OFFICE CONSOLIDATION is meant to aid users of the Zoning By-law by incorporating all of the Amendments which have been passed since the Zoning By-law came into effect in 2008.

During the preparation of the OFFICE CONSOLIDATION, a number of “housekeeping” revisions to the Zoning By-law were identified as being needed in order to make the Zoning By-law fully consistent. These revisions include the following: 1. “Retirement Home” was previously added to the Zoning By-law as a defined use which was permitted in the General Commercial-Exception (C1-4) Zone. As a consequence, “Retirement Home” needs to be added as a permitted use in the Residential Type 3 (R3) and the Institutional (I) Zones where similar uses such as “Nursing Home” and “Home for the Aged” are also permitted.

2. “Retirement Home” also needs to be added to the Zone Provisions table in the Residential Type 3 (R3) Zone.

3. “Private School” was previously added to the Zoning By-law as a defined use and was permitted in the General Commercial (C1) and Institutional (I) Zones. As a consequence, the Institutional (I) Zone needs to be further revised to change the permitted “School” use to “Public School” in order to distinguish between public and private schools.

4. Various typographical errors throughout the Zoning By-law are also to be corrected.

The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment does not affect any specific lands in the Village. Rather, it is a technical “housekeeping” amendment to clarify the meaning of the Zoning By-law.

from all neighbouring townships well before or shortly after they built the Cadillac of a rink?

The council of Rideau Lakes voted for an agreement (councillors Jeff Banks and Rob Dunfield voted against it) over 18 months ago and they did not know then how many people were even registered in Smiths Falls.

Bob Maddock, CAO of Rideau Lakes stated that he would make the numbers available to council as soon as he received them. I would assume that if Maddock had any information from Smiths Falls he would have provided it to council before they voted on the budget a couple of months ago.

Yet when I force this issue with Smiths Falls, they say the information will be ready this week.

Strange because I was advised they had preliminary numbers months and months ago.

I also want to know what other townships are in an agreement and what their user rates and registration are.

I do agree that we need to support recreation and make sure it is affordable for all children. My issue is voting without the proper information. It is like buying a car without knowing how many kilometers are on it or how much the car really costs! It is time that local government stop becoming a house of smoke and mirrors.

Be transparent and do the right thing.

DEAR EDITOR: I sent an email to Smiths Falls recreation direction on Aug. 1 asking to know how many people are registered in sports in Smiths Falls who live in Rideau Lakes.

Smiths Falls has kept their constituents in the dark for so long. Are they now trying it with other townships?

Is this a case of spending more than you can afford and then looking for other townships to pay the debt?

Bylaw 2012-1 is a recreation agreement that Rideau Lakes entered into with the Town of Smiths Falls. They passed this bylaw Feb. 6 2012, and to date the council of RL still has no idea how many people from our township use the facilities that we are paying for.

It’s my understanding that by the end of the current term of council we will be paying Smiths Falls almost $100,000 and Smiths Falls still has not provided the council members with a list of users or even a number of registered users coming from RL. I want to know how many people from RL are registered in sports in Smiths Falls and your staff cannot even tell us that. Provide a number or pay your own bills.

I received a reply from the Smiths Falls recreation director, Rick St. Dennis stating that the town’s CAO Steve Fournier has been “working diligently on this” and will be circulating a report with regards to registered users to council later this week.

Should Smiths Falls not have started collecting this information

Events - Have you ever been called a “Pollyanna” or heard someone else called it? If so, do you know why? It is because of an American story written

by Eleanor H. Porter published in 1913.

Some have likened the story to our own Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery which was published in 1908.

Pollyanna is a very young orphan girl who is sent to live where she is not really wanted, She approaches her young life by seeing what’s wonderful and yet, she would have more cause than most to bemoan her state in life: poor, orphaned, unwanted and hating her freckles!!

Pollyanna spends much of her time trying to influence the adults in her new town on how to see life more positively by teaching them “The Glad Game”, that is until something happens to her that challenges even her staunch insistence on seeing the positive in any unfortunate situation.

Smiths Falls Community Theatre has chosen an absolutely charming musical script from Lifehouse Productions that takes audiences back to this charming period in America’s history and features delightful and memorable medleys. The show opens Thursday, Aug. 8 at 7:30 p.m., and continues Aug. 9, 10, 16 and 17 at 7:30 p.m. There are also 2 Sunday matinees on Aug. 11 and 18 at 2 p.m.

Come and enjoy this heart-warming performance in the air-conditioned comfort of the Station Theatre at 53 Victoria Avenue in Smiths Falls. Tickets vary in price from $10 to $20. For information on how to obtain them please visit smithsfallstheatre.com or call 613-283-0300.

Weight doesn’t matter for former Smiths Falls student rower Brentwood crew has managed the 1,000 meter - the last record was around 2:48 according to Carr.

The lightest man in Brentwood history to ever hold a power seat, Hill was also named assistant rowing captain for the boathouse in his senior year.

“His peers selected him for that position, his passion for the sport and rowing rubbed off on most if not all the athletes in the program,” said Carr.

Sports – Born in Smiths Falls and still carrying fond memories of Lombardy Public School and particularly Mrs. James, Jonathan Hill is now a national champion rower with none other than the Brentwood men’s eight.

The family, including Jon and his two brothers, moved to Edmonton six years ago. The move led to Hill’s acceptance into Brentwood College on Vancouver Island, B.C., a university preparatory school that’s famous for its rowing program.

“Since 1972 we have won 86 national high school championships and 12 national junior championships and since 1976 there has been at least one Brentwood alumni on the Canadian Olympic team - that’s 10 Olympics in a row,” said Brian Carr, senior boys rowing coach at Brentwood College.

Though Hill had never really rowed before, once he’d tried it at Brentwood, he never looked back.

“It was the first thing I found I was good at,” he said.

He was more than just good at it. In his first year as a rower he was invited to the Canadian Secondary School National Championships in St. Catharines where he won silver in the junior eight.

That first success spurred him to spend the summer in Toronto training with the Don Valley Rowing Club.

The following year, he again made it to the nationals earning a bronze medal with a senior double team.

“Jon wanted to improve every practice on and off the water. His strong will to learn and be the best he could be, made him easy to coach,” said Carr. “He has been one of the most honest rowers I have every coached.”

At just under 158 pounds, he is also the only lightweight rower on the Brentwood varsity team and sits in seat number five.

“Counting from the bow, it’s generally one of the power seats in the boat - five and six are the two power spots,” explained Hill.

It’s no mean feat to be the lightest and still seated in one of the power spots of a boat.

“As a coach, I will always put the athlete in a seat where I think they will make the boat go the fastest - five seat is usually where you put the big powerhouse rowers but Jon had great rhythm and that helped the flow of the boat. He was one of the best technicians in the boat and would have been better suited in bow seat, however, the boat went faster with him in five seat,” said Carr.

It is with that team, and in that seat that Hill and his senior men’s eight brought home gold at the national championships. They also set a record for the 1,000-meter race.

“At the 2013 Canadian Scholastic Schools Rowing Championships (CSSRA’s), the weather was atrocious. The worst I have seen in my 37 year association with these championships,” said Carr.

As a result of the poor weather conditions, the regular 2,000-meter races were changed to 1000 meters for the first time in the 67 years of the event according to Carr.

“On the Sunday morning of the finals Jon’s crew blasted down the course in a time of 2:45.61 - six seconds faster than the next fastest crew of the day,” said Carr.

It also happens to be the fastest a

Headed to Queen’s University in Kingston next year, to study Film and Creative Writing, Hill hopes to secure a place on the Queen’s crew.

“Jon is stepping out of a high school… and moving into a university lightweight, something which is very difficult to do in his first year,” said Carr. “Knowing how Jon has faced adversity here at Brentwood being a lightweight rowing in heavyweight boats, I am not going to bet against him.”

Local high schools to host OFSAA senior boys event in 2014 ers built.

“We have about $10,000 in fundraising to do now for OFSAA,” he said.

“Hopefully that will come from corporate sponsors – people who want their names associated with the OFSAA tournament and our athletic program. We’re going to try and combine it with some upgrades in the gym. We’re talking about changing the bleacher system.

We have some things to do but having the championship will help speed some of the things up that we need to do.”

And all that will be just in time for the even bigger change coming to PDCI – the inclusion of Grade 7 and 8 students in the fall of 2014.

FUTURE OF BASKETBALL

In the next five years the sport Kevin Bellamy is pictured here during a basketball camp in July at PDCI. The local high schools, including St. John Catholic High School, Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute of basketball will skyrocket in popularity. and PDCI will collaborate to host OFSAA boys basketball tournament in March, 2014. hosted provincial tournaments five times – three times for basketball and twice for volleyball.

“Not that it’s become routine but we know what to expect,” Marando said. “I think that it’s going to be another great event this year with some high-level basketball being played. I’m looking forward to it. I think that’s it’s great for our community. It brings people from across the province to Perth for three days.”

He added that hotels, motels, shops and restaurants get some business for a few days in March. I’m not sure if it makes people come back later as tourists, but it can’t hurt.”

As for working with PDCI and SFDCI, Marando said they’ve collaborated to help make Lanark County sports a great success.

“We compete against each other on the court, but we get along well off the court. As I mentioned earlier this is the fifth time we’ve hosted an OFSAA and we’ve always helped each other out. I see it going off without a hitch again this time.”

Internally, at St. John, students will be allowed to watch games and they will invite feeder schools to come out as well.

“It would help if our team could qualify to compete in the tournament,” he said. “I’m sure that would garner more interest in the event.”

That’s Bellamy’s prediction as he chatted recently about heavy favourites to repeat, said summer ball programs at Perth and District Collegiate Institute, Bellamy.

“Our team will be very com- where he teaches and coaches. petitive, but time will tell” if they advance to OFSAA by winning EOSSAA. Last year, PDCI lost to SFDCI at the county level.

CHANGE OF PLANS Initially, PDCI was to host OFSAA in 2015, but Bellamy said the National Capital Region wasn’t ready to host the tournament next year, so he offered. It’s not like he’s new at this – PDCI has hosted OFSAA in 2004 and 2007, “which is incredible.”

Just the two Perth schools were involved then, he added.

This is the first time for Smiths Falls, and Bellamy said they agreed to help as the tournament will need the use of three gyms this time around.

There will be 18 teams involved, including the PDCI Blue Devils as they are automatically entered as the host school.

Sports – The Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations senior boys basketball tournament will be hosted by a trio of Upper Canada District School Board high schools – more specifically, from Lanark Leeds and Grenville counties.

Perth and District Collegiate Institute will host the 2014 OFSSA tournament March 3 to 5, with help from St. John Catholic High School and Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute.

“We need all three gyms and the schools have been great to help coordinate this effort,” said Kevin Bellamy, PDCI teacher/ coach who has been working on the proposal to bring this championship to Perth and area for months.

“It’s going to be good for the school,” he said.

During the tournament, “you can just feel the excitement. It brings something for everybody.

It’s not just our kids who will be playing in it. It’s for the 25 to 50 student volunteers; all the kids who are watching.”

Big screen television will be set up in the auditorium giving those who can’t fit into the gym the opportunity to watch the games.

Something new this year, all teams will have at least three games, even if they lose the second game played. Regardless if a team wins or loses its first game, they will have a second and third opportunity to play.

“Teams that are coming from far away will have that opportunity to play three games,” Bellamy said. “That’s something new this year. Normally, after losing the second game, they’d be out of the tournament.”

Teams will arrive March 2 and there will be practice times available and a banquet.

Dave Smart, Carleton University’s men’s basketball coach and assistant coach for Team Canada, will be a guest speaker.

At St. John Catholic High School, Dominic Marando, athletic director, says they have

Anthony Bennett of Vaughan, and Andrew Wiggins of Toronto are hard-court superstars already.

Bennett was this year’s number one NBA draft pick. Wiggins may have the same honour for the 2014 selection process.

“They are both Canadians,” Bellamy said. “And for two Canadians to be the number one NBA picks, that’s really going to push the sport of basketball here, (in Canada), to the forefront.”

Bellamy says he believes the two basketball programs offered at PDCI for children up to Grade 9 is important to instill not only fundamentals for the sport, but also for life.

“Kids are coming here to basketball camps that have been coming since day one and now they’re playing high school ball,” he said.

“We don’t cater to the elite – we teach everyone. It’s a good way to have fun and whether they take to basketball or another sport, there’s crossover.

They’re gaining motor skills.”

A winning combination – golfing to feed children hsorour@perfprint.ca

Sports - Now that you’ve got your swing where you want it, after all those hours on the golf course this summer it’s time to get out to the inaugural RBC Charity Golf Classic this Friday, Aug. 9 at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. All right, so it hasn’t been the best summer for golf but all the more reason to get out and support a really worthwhile cause at the same time.

“We’re doing this to support Food-For-Thought, a breakfast and nutrition program in nine area schools,” said Nicholas Ritchie, commercial banking specialist at RBC Royal Bank, and the lead organizer.

There is quite a need in Lanark County with nearly 5,500 children and youth benefiting from the program.

“Some of those kids will come every day for a meal and some only half of the time, and for some just half a dozen times in a

year,” said Sharon Bjergso, partnership coordinator with Lanark County Food-for-Thought Partnership.

“The end game is to put food into every kid. We’re all the same when we’re kids, and if every kid has a good meal then they have the same chance at learning and succeeding,” said Ritchie.

While Ritchie, realizes that may sound a tad idealistic, he feels strongly that it’s a worthwhile goal to pursue and the statistics on the level of need would be incentive enough.

“This year the total meals and snack served was 309,000 across the county,” said Bjergso.

Ritchie, a volunteer firefighter who only moved into Smiths Falls about three years ago, hopes to raise at least $10,000 with this year’s golf classic. Registration is $100 and that includes 18 holes, a cart, a barbecue lunch, dinner and silent auction. For the nongolfers, dinner and auction are just $30. Registration is at noon

Bears players make cut for Summer Showcase Sports - On July 31, the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL), in conjunction with the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League (NOJHL) and Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL), announced the location and participating players for the Ontario Summer Select Showcase (OSSS).

The OSSS will be held in Cornwall, Ontario at the Benson Centre, Aug. 10 and 11.

The OSSS is a two-day event that brings the top 19-and-Under Junior ‘A’ players from CCHL, NOJHL and OJHL to a single venue.

The partnership of the three leagues and their 42 combined teams represents a continued effort to provide players with the best experience possible by maximizing exposure to higher levels and creating new opportunities for showcasing their skills.

Locally, from the CCHL league, Smiths Falls players include Yanick Crete and Daniel Disipio; Carleton Place, Justin LaForest, Elia Ghantous, Kelly Summers, Steven Bayliss, Luke Edwards, and from Kemptville, Jesse Blais. These are just a few from this league selected for the team.

The 80 players will arrive on Saturday (Aug. 10) for practice, followed by a pair of games that evening. Day two (Aug. 11) will see four additional games take place with two in the morning and two in the afternoon.

Numerous scouts from the NHL, NCAA and CHL are expected to be in attendance to evaluate and identify players for the upcoming 2013-14 season.

The general public can attend the OSSS games for a nominal admission.

Adults are $10/person for two games; seniors/students are $5/person for two games and children 12 and under are admitted free.

aiming for a 1 p.m. shotgun start.

The day-long tournament will end with an awards banquet at 6 p.m.

If Ritchie manages to reach his goal that would give each of the nine area schools (seven in Smiths falls, one in Montague and one in Lombardy) a little over $1,000 per school. Currently the province funds school nutrition programs to the tune of $31,000 for 35 schools – $800 per school.

“We also receive funding from Lanark County to the tune of $250 per school and up until this year, Jackie Seaton in Perth ran the Empty Bowl Project, that supported us for the past 10 years,” said Bjergso.

The biggest challenge, said Bjergso, is always finding the funds to get every school through to the end of one school year.

“It’s amazing we’ve been looking for a guardian angel,” Bjergso said, “and Nick just appeared.”

Last week at the national juniors played at Cherry Downs Golf & Country Club in Pickering, Ont., Maddie Szerik of Allen, Tx., spoiled the party with some blistering play. At -5, Szerik, a dual citizen of Canada and the United States, was 14 shots clear of the field after the four days of play. Henderson, the defending champion who opened with rounds of 76 and 77, bounced back nicely with back-to-back even-par rounds of 72 to slide easily into second. She captured the national Juvenile title for the second year in a row.
