Thanks to the collaborative efforts over the past 12 months of a Lanark County social housing team, four local adults with developmental disabilities will have a chance to live in their own spaces.

Lanark County Support Services will partner with Developmental Support Services, Lanark County and Lanark County Social Housing to support these four people who have complex

medical needs. The project will help each person live in their own unit in an existing building with the assistance of a supportive tenant.

The individuals will also receive help from a full-time community support facilitator.

“We know there is no one-size-fits-all housing solution for adults with developmental disabilities,” said Dr. Helena Jaczek, Minister of Community and Social Services.

Jaczek was in attendance at Lanark County Support Services (LCSS) building on Wednesday, Aug. 19 to share the good news that the

Ontario government will be investing up to $143,000 over the next two years in a local agency to pilot a creative and inclusive housing project.

Debi McEwen, executive director of the LCSS gushed her appreciation to all those who made this happen.

“This is innovating and creative housing,” she said. “It’s important that it’s individualized… everyone deserves a room of their own.

dren’s activities such as a petting zoo, bouncy castle, and face painting, can be expected.

“The event provides a perfect opportunity for local producers to bring awareness to our communities through their products and expertise,” adds Marie White, Lanark County tourism manager. “We recognize the benefits of local food. This festival is a time to celebrate with our local families and show our appreciation for our agricultural community by sharing food, drink and laughter.”

The celebration of local food is an annual event that supports more than 55 local businesses and six farmers’ markets, as well as developing a new economic

development network for the county through partnership with the Ontario Tourism Culinary Alliance (OCTA).

Last year, the Harvest Festival was recognized by OCTA as a provincial finalist for Culinary Event of the Year.

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

“We hope to continue to create employment, build on the customer base and encourage lots of visitors to come to Lanark County,” adds festival founder and Montague Reeve Bill Dobson.

“Lanark County has been recognized as a food destination, and we want to build on this momentum while raising awareness about our agriculture,” notes Keith Kerr, Lanark County Warden.

There are still spaces for vendors.

Want to get fresh with a local farmer?

The third annual Lanark County Harvest Festival will give everyone a chance to do just that.

This outdoor event, slated for Sunday, Sept. 13 at Beckwith Park (1319, 9th Line, Beckwith), will celebrate the county’s bounty of the harvest featuring local producers, food seminars, cooking demonstrations, children’s activities, local musicians and more. This year, Tay Valley Township will be the featured community, showcasing its people, products and projects.

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

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

In 2015, the collaboration between four Beckwith Churches will continue to deliver the popular Harvest Church Supper of traditional stew including lamb stew, vegetable stew, beef stew and gluten-free stew (not to mention pie of all kinds). Some of the participants are growing the ingredients, and others are sourcing local ingredients. It is “stew The program includes cooking demgood to miss.” Tickets are $12 and will be sold in advance or at the door for the onstrations featuring local chefs who supper, taking place from 4 to 6:30 p.m. will present information about cooking with local ingredients.

County’s revamped community grants program not ready just yet Once finalized, Lanark County’s new community grants program will provide a streamlined approach for local organizations applying for funding annually.

The program was up for discussion during Lanark County’s corporate services committee meeting Aug. 12 in Perth. Chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves provided an overview of the progress to date. Originally, county councillors had passed a motion back in February that no formalized grant policy was to be established and requests would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

“Since that time, it’s been suggested by councillors that we need a formalized policy,” Greaves stated.

He said the program update was to “bring full accountability and transparency to the property tax-funded community grants program, by providing a formalized process to evaluate requests for grants and to establish a separate budget section for taxpayerfunded grants.”

Currently, Lanark County distributes more than $300,000 a year through the community grants program.

The policy will provide an even playing field for all organizations applying for funds and will require them to submit budgets and background information. Once the deadline passes, all requests will come to the corporate services committee for discussion.

“It’s a simple one-page budget and proposal that must accompany it (application). It’s pretty straightforward and requires organizations to do some legwork and have their ducks in a row and at that point, council will consider their requests,” Greaves said.

“We’re also segregating community grants in a separate budget section,” he continued. “In the past, it was dispersed throughout the budget, but I think it should all be in one section so it’s transparent to taxpayers and so taxpayers know where their money is going.”

Another aspect of the policy staff recommends is implementing an upper limit on the total grant funds allocated based on the previous year’s tax levy. “For example, using the amounts given out last year, 1.1 per cent of the levy would allow the upper limit to be set at $337,000 for 2016,” Greaves noted in his presentation.

Coun. Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills mayor) agreed with the 1.1 per cent, but cautioned council if that figure increased.

“Once we start getting past one per cent of taxation, people will be asking why is my money going to this?

We have to be careful. We could get seen by a lot of people as a big charity who you can tell a sob story to and get some money,” he stated. “I believe $320,000 is a lot of money. It’s very generous. We should try to keep whatever we do within that 1.1 per cent.”

“I liked the one per cent number because then council can say to taxpayers, it’s only one penny out of every dollar that’s going to this. I think that can be justified,” Greaves answered.

Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith deputy reeve) was pleased to see this coming before the committee. “I read this over two or three times and it’s an issue that’s important to me. I was uncomfortable with the way we were doing it (grants program), so I think this is perfect and has to be open and transparent because these are taxpayers’ dollars,” she remarked. “Excellent job done by staff.”

Because some of the partnerships operate on a continued basis, such as funding provided to the youth centres (county provides $40,000 to each centre annually) and Lanark Transportation Association, Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor) wondered how the policy would accommodate those.

“This is stable funding, not a grant, so we can’t put them in the grants program and say they have to apply each year. It changes the game,” she stated.

“The youth centres should be part of the $300,000. Let’s be realistic here, that’s the very funding that started the concern over the grants program,” Mousseau pointed out.

Greaves said program grants are set once by a term of council, “so you’ve already done that” for the youth centres.

Another question raised by Smiths Falls mayor Shawn Pankow was how the new policy would deal with other emergency funding requests that come up after the deadline.

“I look to the Two Rivers Food Hub as an example. That (funding request) came in after budget time,” he said.

“You should leave a certain amount of money available for those things that come up each year.”

“I like the idea of having some discretion…a little pocket (of money) that falls slightly outside of the criteria,” added Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor). “It gives this council the opportunity to help people.”

One option, Greaves said, was to allot a certain amount of funds for emergencies. He said there is currently $30,000 in emergency funding sitting in the budget that could be used for that purpose.

“We don’t want to miss these opportunities, but council always has the ability to make up policies as they go along and go above policies they’ve set,” he reminded.

Originally on the corporate services committee docket for June, the matter was deferred to the August meeting.

With this year’s community grant applications due Aug. 31, Greaves suggested the program remain status quo for this year with the changes to be implemented in 2016.

“The deadline is Aug. 31, which is why I brought this forward in June, initially,” he said. “Now that I’ve received some comments, staff will have

another look at this before it comes to county council…and make sure revisions have been made to the policy.”

Coun. John Gemmell (Perth acting mayor) was one of the councillors pushing for the new policy and said no more time should be wasted on

implementing it.

“Let’s just do it instead of arguing about it,” he commented.

Over the past five years, some of the organizations who have benefitted from the Lanark County community grants program include: People

First of Lanark County, Two Rivers Food Hub, Lanark County 4H Club, Lanark Archives, youth centres, Lanark County Interval House, Lanark County Tourism Association and the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association.

Support Interval House at Take Back the Night, fundraising run this September Ashley Kulp

To register for eRACE Violence, visit www.runningroom.com.

There are several ways to help Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) erase violence against women this September.

In an effort to reach all areas of the county they serve, the non-profit organization has been brainstorming different opportunities to raise funds.

The first of those initiatives, the eRACE Violence fundraising walk and run takes place Sunday, Sept. 13 at the Middleville Museum in Lanark Highlands. This is the brainchild of LCIH’s fundraising co-ordinator, Pam Cupak, who is also a fitness instructor.

“This is something that’s a passion for me, so it was an easy connection to make “Lanark Highlands is somewhere we haven’t done a lot in the past, so they are pumped,” she explained.

“It’s our very first time doing this, so it’s exciting,” added LCIH executive director Erin Lee. “...We wanted it to be in a part of the county where we are not really present. So this is all about expanding for us.”

The fundraiser, a family-friendly event, includes 5K and 9K run/walk and a 16K bike ride on a section of Wolfgrove Road. And for those who dare, they can attempt the duathlon (5K run, 16K cycle and 9K run).

“We talk to women about mental

Take Back the Night Sept. 24 One of the most poignant events hosted by LCIH each year is Take Back the Night, a march for women’s right to be free of violence and to walk without fear.

As in years past, supporters will gather Thursday, Sept. 24 in Carleton Place’s Town Hall Square (behind the town hall) at 6:30 p.m. for guest speakers and a rose ceremony where women who have lost their lives to violence will be remembered by placing flowers in the Mississippi River.

Afterwards, those in attendance will march down Bridge Street to Lake Avenue, where they will turn around and finish at Read’s Book Shop for refreshments.

In addition to the main event, great prizes will be offered and a fundraising bake sale in the museum will be

held. “We really have some great prizes. Most are focused around fitness, including ski passes and fitness apparel, as well as beer from the Perth Brewery,” Cupak noted.

Participants can also take part in

mini-yoga sessions, explore walking trails and tour the Middleville Museum. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to help supporting LCIH’s programs and services for abused women and children in the county.

Flip Your Tips, back to school drive After approaching local businesses to see if they’d be interested to donate a portion of gratuities to Interval House. “That branched out to restaurants and other fundraisers, including the Sunflower Bake Shop in Perth baking cookies for us with our logo on it,” Cupak said.

organization. “We are hoping through these campaigns that we are able to reach out to businesses and communities that may not be as aware of the services provided by LCIH and how important these services are for our friends and neighbours,” she stated.

The Masonry Restaurant and Curly Redhead in Perth has committed to helping out and Two Guys for Lunch in Smiths Falls recently filled a donation box for LCIH during their Christmas in July lunch.

To participate, contact Cupak at fundraising@lcih.com or 613257-3469.

Another important initiative is LCIH’s back to school Crowdfunding campaign. In order to outfit children accessing their services to ensure they are ready for the classroom, the organization is seeking donations of as little as $10 from the community until Sept. 7. Donations will go

towards outreach support for kids as well as educating youth and teens on dating violence and healthy relationships.

“Backpacks and having full lunch bags are important, but people forget that women go back to school. Donations of markers and crayons are really, really helpful, but there are other needs including running shoes, that aren’t readily available,” Lee said.

“We have to be empowering our youth to have conversations about sexual violence and being safe and keep that dialogue open throughout our schools,” she continued.

Annual general meeting Also taking place in September is LCIH’s annual general meeting, Monday, Sept. 14 at the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum (267 Edmund St.) in Carleton Place.

All members of the public are welcome to attend the evening, which starts at 6 p.m. As in pre-

vious years, the organization will be recognizing its volunteers and partners at the meeting as well, including those at the As Good As New thrift store, which marks its 35th anniversary this year.

“It contributes approximately $50,000 to our operating budget which is significant and it’s entirely volunteer run and volunteer led,” Lee said. “They have an amazing contribution of 1,800 to 2,000 volunteer hours a year.” “...It’s really important to us and has become a permanent fixture in the community,” she added.

The store also gives women and children accessing LCIH services a place to get items they need. “It really does benefit everybody,” she stated.

We invite you to come and find out about our club and meet many of the members. During the evening we will outline the purpose and benefits of the club and discuss some fundraising details of the past year which have recently benefited many in Perth and surrounding areas. You will meet committee and interest group chairs and learn more about joining key groups and the various fun activities available.

Do not fall for calls

ne of those telephone scams is apparently still making the rounds, prompting the RCMP to issue an advisory to Ontarians this past week. We’ve noted this one or something similar to it before, but it bears repeating in order to try and prevent more people from being victimized.

The caller claims to be an RCMP officer seeking to collect fines or income taxes or a variety of other fraud-related tactics. The recipient of the call must pay up immediately or else face being arrested within 24 hours. In some cases, the phone number for the RCMP appears on the prospective victim’s call display.

The RCMP indicated that it does not contact individuals to collect fines or taxes; the caller’s threat is meant “…to create such shock and anxiety that victims respond by sending money quickly in order to fix the problem,” according to an RCMP release.

Anyone who receives such a call or knows someone who has can contact

the local police service or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

Spread the word about the scam to raise awareness and possibly save someone who might be susceptible to the threatening tactic from falling for the fraud and losing his or her money.

Also, keep in mind that Canada Revenue Agency does not call and insist that someone can solve his or her tax arrears problem (which probably doesn’t exist) by rushing out and buying VISA gift cards and then turning over the cash value. And the agency is no longer called Revenue Canada even though many of us still refer to it that way.

A caller claiming to be from Revenue Canada is trying to steal your money, plain and simple. Don’t divulge any personal information such as bank account or credit card numbers, and don’t be afraid to tell others about your experience. By doing so, you could be helping a family member or friend from making an embarrassing and costly mistake.

Meaning of patience revealed for Mary in her sister Audrey “That girl has the patience of Job,” Mother said. She said it often enough of my sister Audrey, and I had no idea who Job was, that I was determined to find out what the word patience meant. If Audrey had an abundance of it, maybe I could claim to have it too, since we were sisters, and it seemed to be something of great value.

And so one day, just before school was let out for the summer, I asked Miss Crosby if she would look up the word ‘patience’ in the big black dictionary that sat on the corner of her desk. She read me the description, which had big words like ‘ tolerance and endurance’ in it. I was still none the wiser, and I decided Job was someone Mother knew in Renfrew, because there certainly was

nobody out in Northcote by the name of Job. At any rate, my older sister Audrey had the same trait as this fellow Job. And then one day, a discussion around the supper table sent me into a panic and I couldn’t even eat my piece of raspberry pie, which was my favourite. Audrey was finished at the Northcote School, and like so many girls from the farms around, that meant going off to Renfrew and doing housework for the rich people. I couldn’t stop the tears from rolling

down my face right onto the pie in front of me. Audrey put her arm around my shoulders and told me that day was a long way off, and I wasn’t to fret about it. She was needed on the farm, she said, and that’s where she would be staying. I asked her to ‘promise and hope to die’ which was right up there in importance with asking God for a special favour. She again assured me, she would be right at home for a long time to come.

After supper, and after the kitchen had been redded up, I went out to the grape arbour and sat in the big two-seater swing, and started to think about all the things I would miss if my beloved sister Audrey ever left me.

Who would sing to me at night when we went to bed?

Whose arm would reach out across the bed roll and keep me safe when the whippoorwills sang their eerie songs when it was black as pitch outside and I was terrified they would get in the house?

And who would sit with me

in the long grass and pull dandelion stems, then split them and roll them down into tight curls, and make up stories about how the women of long, long ago got the idea of curling their hair from the dandelions?

And I thought of the many

times Audrey and I stretched out on the grass on a summer’s day when the sky was full of soft white clouds. And we would “see” dogs, fierce lions, and old men’s faces, as See MARY page 9

the clouds shifted taking on new shapes as the gentle wind pushed them into different forms. And Audrey would make up stories about the things we read in the clouds, and often I would doze off, filled with a fierce love of a sister who found time to spend with a much younger sister, when there were other things she would much rather be doing.

It was Audrey who defied anyone at the Northcote School to pick on me... even bad Marguirite got to know what it was like to be on the receiving end of a tongue lashing if she made fun of my hand-me-down clothes, or my long red ringlets.

LETTER From page 8

For perspective: in fiscal year 20132014, the agency collected a total of $330.9 billion in taxes and other revenues such as Employment Insurance premiums, Canada Pension Plan contributions, interest and penalties. The amount written off – $3.4 billion – represents only one per cent of the total tax collected.

Even when an account is written off, it may remain collectable and the taxpayer’s obligation to pay may not be eliminated. The CRA has the right to collect the debt in the future if the taxpayer is located or their financial situation improves.

Wasn’t it Audrey who, when I asked, would sit with me in the very swing I was in at that moment, and tell me imaginary stories of far off lands, and people who spoke in different tongues, and wore different clothes. And when I would say, “tell me another one, Audrey,” she would simply let out a long sigh, and begin another story.

And wasn’t it Audrey, who would take the book I had chosen from the Renfrew Library, with big words I couldn’t read, and sit with me at the kitchen table before bedtime, and read to me, when I knew she would much rather be reading her own book?

And wasn’t it Audrey, even knowing I had little talent, spent hours trying to teach me how to make French

Knots, and daisies on the end of flour bag tea towels? And she would praise me and say how clever I was.

As I sat in the swing that day, seeing in my mind’s eye, all the things my sister Audrey did for me, and the hours she spent with me, I knew then what mother meant when she said, “That girl has the patience of Job.” Audrey certainly, as far as I was concerned, had patience. Sadly, I never did find out who that guy Job was!

Further, the CRA’s actions to address offshore tax evasion have never been more substantial. Most recently, Economic Action Plan (EAP) 2015 invested an additional $58.2 million for tax avoidance by large and complex entities, and an additional $25.3 million to address offshore non-compliance.

Because of these efforts, we are seeing results. The dramatic increase in taxpayer submissions to the CRA’s Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) indicates that Canadians are aware of the CRA’s focus on detecting and deterring offshore non-compliance. More than 5,000 disclosures related to offshore activities were received by the CRA from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014, lead-

ing to the identification of $303 million in unreported income. Compare that to fiscal year 2014-15, where that number rose to 10,188 disclosures and $708 million in identified unreported income.

This is millions of dollars that, as a result of concerted government action, is now being collected and returned to Canada’s revenue base.

“Everywhere you go and everyone you know will always have a connection with childhood cancer. And you coming to show your support and registering your family –it does help.”

“The more people that show up and the more money we raise, the less children have to go through childhood cancer.”

Bergen says she will be returning to Neon Night in Kemptville this year for another fun and successful event.

Are you a childhood cancer survivor? Do you know someone in the area who is? Or perhaps a child who is battling now? Aside from fundraising, an important part of Neon Night is to honour those children who have battled cancer in the past or are living with it now. There will be a special childhood survivor Knighting Ceremony where survivors are paired with “heroes”, Olympic athletes and hopefuls who have come out to support the cause. There is no registration fee for child survivors, as well as up to two parents and a sibling.

Every year, 860 Canadians between the ages of birth and fourteen are diagnosed with cancer. While the rate of diagnosis has remained stable over the last few decades, child cancer death rates have declined by 50 per cent since 1985 thanks to innovative research. Today, 82 per cent of childhood cancer patients will survive at least five years

At last year’s Neon Night event to raise money for childhood cancer, Rikki Leigh Bergen stayed busy filling a number of volunteer roles. After handing out Tshirts at the registration desk, she assisted in face painting and directing participants where they needed to go – all of this while five months pregnant.

Bergen thought it was important to aid the childhood cancer survivors attending the event because, though now an adult, she is one of them. Two decades ago, when she was only fifteen-weeks-old, Bergen was diagnosed with nonHodgkin Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer that affects parts of the immune system.

At the time, Bergen was the youngest ever diagnosis of the disease in Canada.

After a long battle and many visits to the hospital, Bergen went into remission at two-and-a-half-years-old.

She says she doesn’t remember most of the experience, but still attests that her early years with cancer left behind an impression on her adult life.

People frequently ask in conversation about her physical scars from the disease, so she often recounts her story.

She also has to go to checkups regularly to make sure her body is doing well after the treatment she received so long ago.

“Even at 21-years-old, I still have to worry about that sort of stuff,” she says.

She also describes sometimes suffering from nightmares of being surrounded by nurses on a hospital bed, a situation she likely lived through more than once as a child.

As someone whose life has been fundamentally changed by cancer, Bergen says she appreciated Neon Night last year as a time to reflect on her journey and to assist those who are now facing what she faced. At one point in last year’s event, Bergen got up onstage to speak on her history with cancer.

“It was very emotional,” she said of the experience.

“Almost everybody there had some sort of connection with cancer.”

Getting set to brave the wettest part of the hemisphere Reflections

By Jeff maguire

after a full day of touring, couldn’t don her sleepwear and crawl beneath the covers. She waited impatiently while I scouted out two other rooms with the concierge who, by the way, was a very friendly and helpful gent.

Hot and hotter I was shown two larger rooms but they were just as sticky and uncomfortable as the one where Kathy sat watching the night slip away.

In the end we settled for the offer of a large oscillating fan and we were so tired that even the oppressive conditions in the room wouldn’t keep us awake.

We eventually switched to larger rooms. But Frank and Wendy ended up experiencing a terrible night in another airless space with an air conditioner that was no more than a poor fan really.

The moral of the story? Don’t travel to Ireland in summer expecting the weather to be temperate. When you

jackets they were wearing in photos emailed to us underlined what Newfoundlanders have been experiencing this season. There hasn’t been any summer there!

In fact thousands upon thousands of square kilometres are experiencing cold, wet weather while the remainder of the hemisphere is hotter than usual.

By contrast Canada’s Prairie provinces have been sweltering all spring and summer and it is now obvious that the agriculture industry has taken a huge hit. That fact will no doubt be reflected in higher commodity prices this coming fall and winter.

I should also note that parts of the Southern Hemisphere have experienced colder than normal weather this year. Residents of Canberra, Australia’s normally temperate capital city experienced their first snowfall in years last week. Much of the southeastern region of the ‘Land Down Under’ has experienced similar conditions this winter.

So no, global warming isn’t happening everywhere as we are always being instructed!

Because of my long connection with the local newspaper and, more recently, the Sister City Committee in Carleton Place we have made many friends in the picturesque village of Comrie, Scotland. Comrie has been twinned

book hotel rooms, make sure they have up-to-date air conditioning.

The stories you may hear about Ireland and the UK being too cool for air conditioning are complete nonsense.

We’ve had more than enough experience in sweltering hotel rooms and bed and breakfasts to totally explode that myth.

With all of the information we receive on a daily basis relative to global warming, it is interesting to note that a wide swath of the Northern Hemisphere is the coldest part of the world this summer. That includes both sides of the North Atlantic. The vast region with colder than normal temperatures includes Newfoundland and Labrador and other parts of Canada’s Maritime provinces, along with Ireland, Scotland and parts of the UK. It got so bad on ‘The Rock’ that a few weeks ago the weatherman at the CTV affiliate in St. John’s was “arrested” on the air and taken away by members of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary. Evidently he wasn’t in on the gag which made the moment (it was highlighted on television across the country) even more amusing.

My sister, her husband, their son and his family were in Newfoundland on vacation in late July. They enjoyed it, despite the cooler than normal temperatures and they were lucky enough to have just one day of rain. But the

✃

The problem the four of us encountered last summer was that the intensity of the day-time heat turned our hotel rooms into night-time saunas. Many hotels there advertise air conditioning but in reality the systems installed often aren’t up to the task or only some rooms have air while the majority are – well, air-less.

We stayed several nights in a hostelry on busy O’Connell Street in central Dublin. It is billed as one of the finest in the capital and certainly the lobby and public areas lived up to that reputation.

The rooms themselves were small and rather uninspiring and the plumbing, which is almost always a mystery to foreigners who wash up on those shores, was among the oddest we have experienced.

I did reserve air-conditioned rooms.

And true, there was a unit over the door of our unit that purported to be an air conditioner. But once activated the air emanating from it wasn’t remotely cool and the fan was malfunctioning.

The noisy device created a racket that not even Rip Van Winkle could have slept through.

We had arrived in the city on a late night train from Galway in the west of the republic. It was so uncomfortably hot that I asked the front desk staff to find us a better room. That meant Kathleen, who was thoroughly exhausted

My wife and I are planning a trip to Ireland and England and judging by the weather reports from friends and family across the pond we will be preparing for wet conditions.

I will go equipped with a brand new raincoat that is totally waterproof. Because believe me, when it rains in Ireland and the United Kingdom there is no room for “rain resistant” jackets. It is waterproof or you can resign yourself to a thorough soaking!

We could be forgiven if we went to the Republic of Ireland with a nonchalant attitude about the possibility of rain.

Last June, in the company of Carleton Place friends Wendy and Frank LeBlanc, we braved the longest heatwave in recent memory in the southern part of the island. The mercury climbed north of 30C day after day, setting all kinds of Irish summer records in the process.

In nearly two weeks the only place we experienced rainfall was during a brief (two-day) stay in Belfast and Northern Ireland. The larger southern part of the country remained so dry that Ireland’s reputation as one of the greenest places on earth was under threat for a time.

Humidity isn’t really a problem in Ireland though. The cool winds of the Atlantic sweep across the nation most days and sometimes it can be downright cold even in the normally temperate summer months of June through September.

with Carleton Place for 23 years.

Like most of the UK’s far north, Scotland has been battered by intense rain and high winds in recent weeks. Scots have shivered in cold temperatures at a time when they should be enjoying a brief respite from their usual cold, damp conditions.

If you watched the British Open golf tournament, played at the old course in St. Andrew’s in July, then you know how poor the weather has been there.

No summer I phoned our friend Isobel McEwan in Comrie two weeks ago. She made it clear how awful the summer of 2015 has been.

“There’s been no summer Jeff. And as you know our season is always so short. We have had heavy rain and really chilly weather for weeks. In fact we’re on flood watch here today,” Isobel outlined.

Comrie lies at the edge of the Highlands, at the confluence of three rivers.

Planned flood remediation work was immediately stepped up. So far this summer

“But my sister and I have not been able to take our weekly summer outings the way we usually do because the weather has been so foul,” Isobel lamented.

She wanted Kathy and me to come and visit her when we are overseas. We’re usually there every second year or so.

I told her she had just done a very poor job of selling Comrie and Scotland. “I think we will stick with Ireland and England.

It will probably be wet enough in those places,” I chuckled.

So yes, we are now preparing for our expedition which will include six nights in Dublin and six in busy London, arguably our favourite city in the world.

And we will be prepared with waterproof coats and brollies at the ready.

Our history in London includes a couple of forgettable weather experiences. Anyone familiar with the British capital can tell you the weather is very fickle.

I well remember the day we got caught in an absolute deluge in Piccadilly Circus, one of the busiest public squares in the world.

Before we left our hotel in the west end Kathy asked me to check the conditions so we could decide what we needed to take with us. A quick look outside revealed sunny skies.

A discussion paper is available at http://www.ontario.ca/ ministry-natural-resources-andforestry and Ontarians are invited to send their feedback online or by mail.

Providing new, sustainable ways to manage key natural resources is part of the government’s economic plan to build

Ontario up. The four-part plan includes investing in people’s talents and skills, making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history, creating a dynamic and innovative environment where business thrives, and building a secure retirement savings plan.

We opted for umbrellas instead of raincoats. A very bad plan as it turned out.

While we were walking through Leicester Square on the way to nearby Piccadilly the wind suddenly intensified, dark clouds appeared in the sky and suddenly the rain literally bucketed down. Sharp showers indeed!

We don’t invest in expensive brollies because they break or are lost so easily. The cheap cover we were carrying quickly blew inside out as the wind gusted between buildings. We were soaked to the skin!

So, our planned day in Central London took a distinct twist.

After the rain let up, which happened quickly, we walked with water squishing inside our shoes to a bus stop we know outside Her Majesty’s Theatre Haymarket. The Phantom of the Opera has played at that historic venue continuously since 1986.

We were looking for the No. 94 bus. Ringing wet, we returned to the hotel for a change of clothes and a switch in plans.

A small piece of advice. If you opt for a holiday in Ireland or England always carry a raincoat!

Facts about wetlands • Wetlands are areas that have been saturated with water long enough for the soil to become waterlogged. This allows

water-loving or water-tolerant plants to grow and thrive, thus contributing to the health of our biodiversity.

• Wetland ‘conservation’ includes protection, restoration, management and stewardship.

• Ontario established the first elements of its wetland conservation framework in the mid-1980s. It included policy guidance, a wetland evaluation system and partnerships.

In partnership with

Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus returns from a successful AMO conference tion Steven Del Duca to discuss the deterioration of the quality of asphalt in Ontario; Minister of Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal, to discuss EOWC priorities in general; and a large “multi-ministerial” meeting, attended by Minister of Municipal Affairs Ted McMeekin, Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure Brad Duguid, Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli, and Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Safety and Correctional Services. The EOWC used this panel as a forum

to advance its priority issues with key cabinet members. In addition to issues already mentioned, the EOWC took the opportunity to raise several other important issues for local taxpayers, including the increasing cost of policing and joint and several liability, where municipalities can be forced to pick up the tab in lawsuits where they may be found as little as one per cent at fault.

While at the conference, EOWC members met with members of both the Progressive Conservative

and NDP caucuses. Discussion was again centered around the priorities of the EOWC, and how to best advance the interests of rural eastern Ontario.

Eric Duncan, warden of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry and chair of the caucus, said “It is important that the EOWC continues to take every available opportunity to advance its issues, and the annual AMO conference is a great venue to meet with not only elected government officials, but opposition MPPs,

key staff members, and external organizations such as the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. This year, I think we achieved our goal of having very frank conversations about important topics with a wide variety of people, as we continue to work collectively to effectively represent the interests of the residents and businesses of our region of Ontario.”

Lanark County councillors met directly with Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli to discuss electricity rates for rural customers and increased access to natural gas.

“We had the opportunity to talk directly with Minister Chiarelli,” said Lanark County warden Keith Kerr (Tay Valley Reeve). “His ministry supports our position on the natural gas file. We will continue to press Enbridge to increase distribution of natural gas for our rural residents, farms and businesses. We need the expansion of natural gas to happen in a timely manner to provide energy price relief to residents and allow our businesses to compete and prosper.”

Aug. 20, members of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) returned from the annual Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference, held in Niagara Falls between Aug. 15 and 19.

The EOWC is comprised of the heads of council of the 13 county and single tier municipalities of eastern Ontario. The EOWC focuses its efforts on advocacy for the 750,000 residents of rural eastern Ontario, developing positions based on research and the interests of its taxpayers. Priority issues for the EOWC in 2015 are equitable infrastructure funding, closing existing cellular coverage gaps (broadband coverage to facilitate better business and emergency response communication), and access to natural gas for rural residents.

At the conference, EOWC members met with its counterpart organization in western Ontario, the Western Ontario Warden’s Caucus and the Eastern Ontario Mayor’s Committee (EOMC), to discuss issues of mutual importance and concern. Most notably, at the joint EOWC/EOMC meeting, members ratified the terms of reference for the formation of a Leadership Council, to guide the implementation of the Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy. That document, approved in 2014 as a partnership between the EOWC and the EOMC, forms the basis for implementing a truly regional strategy to facilitate economic growth and development throughout all of rural eastern Ontario.

Highlights of the conference included dedicated meetings with several elected provincial officials, including Minister of Transporta-

Canine and Cat Café in Carleton Place supports LAWS Sept. 4 Please visit the Canine and Cat Café on Friday, Sept. 4 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Enjoy a nice coffee, a fancy tea, dessert or a good lunch in the ambiance of a renovated old Canadian Pacific railway station, a heritage building from 1921.

The Canine and Cat Café is located on 132 Coleman street in Carleton Place.

During that day 10 per cent of the sales will go to LAWS to support the animals in their care.

This week’s featured pets Tessa Look at this playful young female.

Tessa is about five-months-old and is eagerly awaiting her new family to come and get her. When opening her cage she immediately gets up and wiggles her huge spectacular fluffy tail. Her tail is almost larger than her body, but she still has time to grow into a full size lady.

Please come and meet her, she’ll be happy to see you and will shower you with love and purrs.

ous owner as she could no longer care for him. Unfortunately Thomas was diagnosed with diabetes and needs insulin shots twice daily. We need a special person to take Thomas into their heart, knowing how to administer the insulin.

Thomas is very friendly and hopes not to be confined to his small quarters too long as he was used to a life of roaming freely around a house.

This Week’s Pets

Joey and Sophie Joey and Sophie are siblings, we think.

Some time ago they were dropped overnight left at LAWS’ front door. LAWS was appreciative of the help of a person the caring foster of these two beauties who took them in foster at her home as had to return them to LAWS. at that time we had no space for more Joey is hiding a bit in the cat runs but cats. Due to unforeseen circumstances quickly appears when people come to visit, rolling over for his favorite past time: belly rubs. Sophie is a bit shy too as she does not understand her change in her living situation. She needs time to adjust hopefully soon in her forever home together with Joey. Both cats are very healthy and good looking. We think they are about 14 months of age. Joey is a handsome orange tabby cat and Sophie is a mix of orange tabby and some white.

therefor she needs to be the only cat in your household. She is, however, good with dogs. Overall, Jazlyn is very affectionate, loves people and just wants to be loved by you for the great cat she is.

Shadow Shadow is and Alaskan Malamute and this very handsome boy is extremely rambunctious and seems to have selective hearing. The dog attendants at LAWS are currently working to improve his recall and basic commands. Shadow has been restricted to a short leash tied to his doghouse for a long time and because

Jazlyn This friendly full-figured lady is about 10-years-old and has experienced living the cozy family life. She has a very full coat of absolutely gorgeous medium long hair. Her coat on her belly is almost like wire hair and it feels very good to ruffle through; great social time for both you and Jazlyn. She is not too keen on sharing you with another cat. She just wants to be the only feline in your life

important to spread the word. The Ontario AMBER Alert program utilizes social media to effect the dissemination of child abduction information.

The viral power of social media enables us to reach hundreds of thousands of Canadians within mere moments of an alert going out.

Ontario AMBER Alert has maintained a Facebook page to communicate AMBER Alert information since 2010. The page currently has a following of approximately 185,000. It has been found to be very effective and, on occasion, has been used to communicate other child safety messaging. Ontario AMBER Alert created a Twitter account, “AMBER Alert Ontario” in 2014. The account has in excess of 10,000 followers and has been utilized during AMBER Alert activations to communicate information to the public. This account has also been used to gain public attention during a number of high-risk missing children’s cases.

Toronto-based Social Horse Power (SocialHP. com) is partnering with the AMBER Alert program bringing technology that will allow social media users to donate their social media feeds in the event of an AMBER Alert. This system interacts with Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. Social media users can donate their social media feeds to the Ontario AMBER Alert program by registering

community to donate their Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn status in order to disseminate abduction information created by the AMBER Alert team.

Users always have the ability to vet the messaging and the information generated by trusted AMBER Alert sites will post directly to the newsfeeds of the respective social media application in the form of a status update. This technology has been successfully used by the Missing Children’s Society of Canada (MCSC) since May of 2012.

In January of this year, Facebook unveiled a new program in the United States that allows it to target a defined area with AMBER Alert Activation information at the time of a child abduction incident. This notification system is now available in Ontario and elsewhere in Canada. The information is viewed through a responsive design poster that has the ability to format itself based on the screen size the alert is being viewed on. The poster will be available in both French and English. The poster will also appear on www.opp.ca during any AMBER Alert activation. The Facebook geo-targeted delivery system will post a notification on all Facebook users’ newsfeeds within a pre-determined radius of the last known location.

The program enhancements were officially launched in May. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

All that’s left are the stories after the music’s gone

Touching story There are usually stories that reach me after the fact and this one really touched me. Dave Gunning is from Cape Breton, having extensively toured with the late John Allan Cameron and has played several house concerts around the area in the past

as well as previously playing our festival. Based on an inspirational song co-written by Dave Gunning and George Canyon entitled These Hands, they’ve created a children’s book that teaches us that every person has the ability to be a hero of the human kind.

It had been scheduled for Dave to lead a Saturday morning workshop to teach those who attended to be his ‘back up singers’ for his playing of These Hands when he took the festival stage later in the day. Through some miss-communication Dave hadn’t heard about this and thankfully Tara MacKenzie of the MacKenzie Blues Band filled in. Knowing Dave as I do, he would never have knowingly skipped and felt bad about it. He was quite appreciative of all those who did back him up.

What I heard later was that Dave went and played the song at St. Paul’s United in Perth for their Sunday morning service. Pretty nice recovery, Dave.

I can’t help but also mention the wonderful performance on the Wendy Laut Stage on Sunday afternoon entitled If the Spirit Moves You by Samantha Martin, Dave Gunning, Matthew Byrne and Tara MacKenzie. We were

all ‘saved’ again.

Here is my number one highlight though for this year. As I slipped in front of the stage, between the dancers to take some pics of Delta Sugar on Sunday afternoon, a dancing couple grabbed my arm, pulled me over and said “thank you.” I nodded and said “Thanks, but it’s really a community effort,” to which he says, “No, thank you! Nine years ago today we met, dancing right here!” Now isn’t that what makes it all worth it? It is for me.

He’s also been working with one of my favourite musicians, Gary Louris of the Jayhawks, on Gary’s own solo projects, to barely scratch the surface. He’s loving twisting the knobs and gets to stay off the road and enjoy his family more, while still playing with incredible performers from all over.

I’d been encouraging a country music component to our festival and finally had it realized this year by the Sunday Afternoon Country Jamboree, ably hosted

by Wade Foster in the Crystal Palace which proved to be a hit, being well attended and likely to continue next year. It was so nice to see Neville Wells back singing as well as Carleton Place’s Brea Lawrenson who is currently getting rave reviews and lots of air play nationally for her single Canadian Pearl from her new album, Brealieve. She’s played Bluesfest, Navan Fair, Lombardy Fair, Westport Music Festival, will play the 170th Perth Fair in a couple of weeks and has again been nominated to perform a Showcase at the Canadian Country Music Awards in Halifax in September. Way to go, Brea!

After helping pack up Stewart Park Festival for another year, it sure was lovely to be able to get together and spend some relaxing time with my family and slowly re-energize, just in time to go to another successful Blue Skies Music Festival. In doing so I also reminisced in my mind, back to some of those ‘special moments’ that seem to happen each year during Stewart Park Festival.

Having already having spent five days in and around the park helping set up, its always a memorable time hearing the music finally start, on stage, Friday afternoon. The Youth Showcase featured proof we are in good hands musically, as all presented with skill, musicality and shone with the sheer joy of playing on stage in their own town.

It also helps the festival become multigenerational in that two of them (Isaac Matthews, Wednesday Parnell) had previously watched their parents play on stage in years gone by.

Seventeen years young, Henry Norwood, our local country star showed us why he earned the right earlier this year in a multi-appearance playdown elimination contest to open for Rhonda Vincent at the Havelock Country Jamboree that was held recently. His professional performance and obvious enjoyment he had up there was gratifying for us all who have watched and encouraged his growth. Hearing Kelly Prescott is always a treat but hearing her sing along with her parents, Tracey Brown and Randall Prescott always touches me.

Again, Lanark’s youth proudly strutting their stuff.

PEI’s Catherine MacLellan always brings some magic to the stage. I spoke to her backstage as we’d met a couple of times previously and she was telling me how she is, just now, starting to get more comfortable singing some of her father’s (the late Gene MacLellan) masterful songs. He had written Snowbird for Anne Murray as well as the gospel classic from 1971 by Ocean, entitled Put Your Hand in the Hand and she now weaves them into her own beautiful songs.

Having seen the lineup months ago, I can admit now, I was worried about the 14-piece band with eight horns, Sons of the Hurricane performing in the glass room known as the Crystal Palace because the sound bounced around in there so badly. Luckily, through much championing by festival chair John McKenty, sound baffles designed by Jon Van Wingerden were installed permanently, the day before and, as a result, the sound was truly wonderful. What a relief! This opens up this space to far more potential use for musical events in the future.

Thanks John and Town of Perth.

It was nice to get caught up with locally-raised James McKenty, up on stage backing Peterborough’s wonderful Melissa Payne. His band The Spades have called it quits so lately he’s been performing magic in a different way, as a recording engineer in the studio working with Melissa, Juno-nominated Cuff the Duke, recording and mixing Blue Rodeo’s latest release, In Our Nature.

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society caps summer off with garden show Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society is finishing off the summer with its biannual Garden Show Saturday, Aug. 29 at the Elgin Community Centre.

The show is open to anyone to exhibit cherished flowers, foliage and produce, and to come out and see what gardeners in the area have been up to this summer. Exhibitors register their exhibits from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m., judging (closed to the public) takes place from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the exhibits are open for public viewing from 2 to 4 p.m., when awards are presented, and exhibitors pick up their items by 5 p.m.

There’s a natural reluctance to exhibit in a garden show. “I don’t like to compete,” “My flowers (or vegetables) aren’t good enough”, “I don’t know enough about shows,” are all some of the things people tell themselves when the opportunity to exhibit arises. The RLHS’ own doyenne of the garden show has stepped up to this challenge and provides her top 10 tips to make exhibiting easy-peasy and the thrill it should be: 10. Speaking of easy, here’s an apt one to start off. Name your plants!

Yes, it is that easy. Clearly and accurately label the specimens in your exhibit, and you get points!

9. Garden shows are one place where Colour does matter. What you want is that the colour of your specimen is what you’d expect for that cultivar – including the variegation, if it’s a variegated cultivar. What can one say? Judges don’t like the unexpected!

8. Size isn’t everything in a garden show, but it does count and maybe not the way you might suppose. Think like Goldilocks: not too big, not too small, but just right – the size you’d expect a specimen of that particular cultivar to be. Remember what was just said about judges?

7. There are a host of sub-criteria that fall under the characteristic that judges label,”Quality” – everything from the physical condition of the plant (not too young, but definitely not over-mature!) to substance – the firmness of the leaf or bloom that enables it to keep its characteristic form, freshness and colour. This is why there’s what’s called a “schedule” for the garden show. Read it, there’s lots of good information there. It’s on the RLHS website.

6. Healthy and unblemished foli-

ENERGY $AVING$!

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

age, whether it’s a flower/fruit exhibit or a foliage exhibit, is essential. The arrangement of leaves (and florets) on a stem should have an even and pleasing balance. A foliage exhibit needs to highlight the interest and attractiveness the leaves of that cultivar typically provide. Like Fats Waller sang, “Find out what they want, and how they want it, and give it to them just that way!”

5. It’s a show, for goodness sakes!

All your little plants and flowers want to look their very best. And, just like when you get all dressed up for a night on the town, this means grooming! Remove all those tell-tale signs of spray, dust, insects and other foreign aspects (in other words, the dandruff of plant life). Cut off faded or wilted petals or leaves (those unruly eyebrow hairs of the plant!).

4. Here’s a goodie. I bet you don’t

use this word everyday: Floriferousness. Doesn’t that just roll off the tongue and say what it means? Abundance of high quality bloom or fruit.

Some show exhibits are all about being, well, showy! Duh! But if showy isn’t your bag, then pick one of the other 50 classes that don’t cry out for “Floriferousness”.

3. We’re getting close to the end, here, so we’re into the big stuff: Distinction! You want your specimen to stand out above all other specimens.

To be markedly superior in all respects. In short, to be as close as possible to absolute perfection. Judges don’t ask for much. Uh-huh.

2. The top points for any exhibit are for what judges refer to as form and symmetry. Form is the overall shape of the plant, bloom, leaf or stem and has to be characteristic of the cultivar.

(Back to no surprises!) Symmetry is

the overall balance and proportion of your exhibit – not top or bottom heavy or lop-sided, each aspect relative pleasingly to another – blooms to stems or foliage, container to plant.

Step back. Take a good long last look.

Does it bring you joy?

1. And the #1 tip for exhibiting at a garden show? Have fun!

The exhibit divisions in the RLHS show comprise all the usual categories: cut flowers, roses, potted plants, grasses, cut foliage, and vegetables and fruits. There is also a special exhibit or display division, with three classes: a collection of five herbs, a pot-et-fleur (growing plants and cut flowers assembled in one container) and a planter.

The theme of this year’s design division is Celebrating Canada, and consists of six classes: Canadian Flag (red and white), Niagara Falls

(waterfall design), Canadian Collection (native plants), Canadian Shield (incorporating stones), Bountiful (locally grown fruits and vegetables) and Solitude (water-viewing design).

The amateur photography contest also evokes the Canadian spirit. Its five classes consist of: Four Strong Winds (Canadian weather patterns), Born To Be Wild (children at play), Life is a Highway (a Canadian highway), Harvest Moon (fruits or vegetables), and Sundown (a sunset or evening shot of a garden).

Pre-registration is not required.

You can find more details on judging criteria and exhibit classes in the garden show schedule on the society’s website: https://sites.google.com/site/ rideaulakeshorticultural/.

Fossils reveal beluga whales once populated Ottawa Valley Many people are surprised when told that the Ottawa Valley was once covered by water.

Today, that ancient water covering is referred to as the Champlain Sea, for it existed thousands of years ago.

Lac Champlain in the upper states of New York and Vermont is the only remnant of this once great body of water.

There are also fossils and other clues which remain scattered across the region but most of these are recognizable to only those who are actually looking for them.

Tales from the Troubadour LyLe diLLabough

So imagine the surprise which came to a group of pit workers when they came across a number of large bones while digging during the mid 1960s.

This occurred at sites located near Pakenham, White Lake, Pembroke and Ottawa. And

they were likely even more puzzled when they eventually learned these were whale bones that they had discovered while doing their excavations.

Beluga whales to be precise and these specimens averaged between 35 to 60 feet in length!

Long ago nature had buried them beneath the sand and clay where they remained intact until their eventual discovery.

The discovery not only confirmed the once existence of the Champlain Sea; it also provided scientists with clues into the

nature and enviroment of this pre-historic body of water.

It is said too, that age-old fish such as Sturgeon in the Ottawa River can be traced back to these same origins.

Something to think about.

The next time you are digging in your back yard you might want to keep this all in mind and take a good look at what comes up.

And although everyone knows that whales are technically in the mammal family, either way one looks at it, that is one big fish!

Area paramedic demonstrates need for Bill 2 passing in Legislature Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Smiths Falls resident and paramedic, Greg Waters said he is hoping the Ontario government will care for him as he has cared for others and make Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) a recognized work-related illness.

Parkdale-High Park MPP Cheri DiNovo continues to pressure the provincial government to pass Bill 2, an amendment to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997, which was initially tabled for the fifth time last summer.

“Sadly, the government is refusing to move on it,” DiNovo said during a phone interview with the Record News this week.

The amendment would presume PTSD is a result of the work place for emergency response workers such as paramedics. This could remove the lengthy fight some individuals face when PTSD forces them out of uniform and into a doctor’s office.

That’s where Waters found himself last March when he began to panic the morning he was to return to work after a two-day break.

“I just started falling apart on the day,” Waters said. “I was in this fog for a long time.”

Looking back on it now, Waters can see the number of emergency calls he responded to adding to his distress, but at the time he thought he was managing all right.

“I thought I had it together about them,” he later added. “You just shove it aside; you’ve got to work through it.”

Both Lanark and Leeds-Grenville ambulance services offer peer support, as well as an employee assistance pro-

Stacey Roy/METROLAND

A bill that would recognize PTSD as a workplace injury for first responders, including paramedics is stuck in the Legislature after first reading.

Smiths Falls resident, Greg Waters is hoping the government approves Bill 2 and helps people like himself get the help they need. gram to staff that need to debrief after a call, but Waters said the predominant feeling is that there is no time to care for your self when the next call could come any minute.

“There needs to be a change of culture,” Waters said.

He said he feels Bill 2 would be a great first step, but what is most needed is preventative measures such as required debriefings after fatal calls. Others agree something must be done.

“Early detection of PTSD in the worker is critical for the treatment to be successful,” said Dale McCabe of the Lanark County Ambulance Service.

During the call that Waters feels caused the critical trauma, he was rushing equipment back to the ambulance after a particularly grisly fatal incident.

He was troubled by what he had seen, but he knew it was a busy day and that another call might come in.

“It just seemed like too much,” Waters said.

He worked through the day, but reached out for help through his employee assistance program (EAP). However, the psychologist’s advice to simply be more positive and move past it provided the bandage to a much deeper wound.

“I just began to descend from that

point,” he added of his condition. “It was really weird to realize I was living in a different moment. I feel like I’m living with two minds.”

To deal with this, Waters would schedule vacation to shorten his week and would bicycle three hours to work and back to rid himself of the adrenaline and reduce the feeling that he was always responding to an emergency situation.

“That amount of activity got me through my night shifts” for three years, Waters said.

While he was working, Waters said he tried to limit his exposure to trauma by tuning out the stories of other cases outside of his direct responsibility.

“I don’t listen to the radio, I listen for my number” in the truck, Waters added of the strain of his profession. “I see a quarter or 20 per cent of everyone’s bad days.”

In the end, it was a routine call where a patient passed away after pro-longed illness that signaled the end for Waters.

When he began to tear up at the call he knew something was very wrong.

“I didn’t believe it, but I was convinced then,” Waters said of his PTSD diagnosis.

Since last spring, Waters has been working hard to address his PTSD symptoms. He works through his feeling of constantly feeling he is living through an emergency, lack of hunger, concentration and short-term memory.

In an academic paper published by The Conference Board of Canada last year, Dr. Nicholas Carleton, a faculty member at the University of Regina’s Department of Psychology, touched on the long-term impacts on first responders who are constantly exposed to hu-

man suffering. In it, he notes paramedics are deployed to trauma that is often in their own communities. This can blur the line between what is safe and what isn’t. Waters said he often sees the incidents he has been called to when he drives through the communities of Leeds-Grenville where he worked.

Carleton acknowledges that more research needs to be done on PTSD and first responders, but that some steps must be taken to help the men and women who care for us today.

“When we need them, they are there: thin white, red, and blue lines standing between us and our nightmares. Surely we can, and indeed we must, do more to support those heroes,” Carleton writes.

Waters would like to see Bill 2 passed that would allow WSIB to recognize PTSD as a workplace injury for first responders.

Jeff Carss, deputy chief of LeedsGrenville Ambulance Service and McCabe agree Bill 2 is part of the help their peers in the field need.

“If this bill can be passed into law it would go a long way to helping those of us who are in need of treatment of this disease or injury,” McCabe wrote in an email exchange.

He noted the paramedic industry is not one of longevity. According to his email, only five per cent of paramedics complete a career to a pensionable age, the rest leave the profession for a variety of reasons.

Waters said he hopes Bill 2 will keep his colleagues from the challenges he has had to face. Last week he was notified his therapy sessions will no longer be covered by his insurance company.

We can help empower them with our project partners who are key. It’s important that we are able to coordinate and work together… especially with partners like the hospital, who has been a 24-year sponsor. They allow us to do the things we do. They help us as well as support us. That’s crucial to our success.”

McEwen also thanked the families and friends of their clients who had significant input into the project, saying “they challenged us.”

She also noted with appreciation the 166 businesses in Lanark County for their support.

“We are happy that you (speaking to the minister) gave us the opportunity to do this for our community,” McEwen said.

This project was selected by the Developmental Services Housing Task Force to help expand the range of housing options and choices for adults with developmental disabilities in Ontario.

There were 80 applications, 12 of which were successful.

“The proposals testify to a powerful readiness by individuals, families, communities and agencies to think creatively as they search for solutions – with that readiness generating a drive toward the creation of new resources, partnerships, and determination,” said Ron Pruessen, chair of the Developmental Services Housing Task Force.

“Given this, the government’s funding commitment to the housing task force’s efforts will now yield both immediate and longer-term rewards: new projects will serve people who have been waiting for supports and those projects will, in turn, provide models for future duplication across the province.”

The task force’s mandate is to en-

On Aug. 18 Smiths Falls Police officers were called to a fast food restaurant in Smiths Falls on a report of an intoxicated patron at the drive thru.

On arrival, the accused was found to be in an intoxicated state and was arrested for impaired care and control of a motor vehicle. He was returned to the station where breath tests were conducted. Based on the readings obtained from the analysis of the breath samples, a 52-year-old Smiths Falls man stands charged with impaired care and control of a motor vehicle and care and control of a motor vehicle with over 80 mg of alcohol in his blood. He was released to a future court date on a promise to appear and an undertaking given to an officer in Laurie Weir/METROLAND charge.

Lessons learned will be used to develop a broader set of residential options in the long-term.

Helping people with developmental disabilities live as independently as possible is part of Ontario’s plan to give everyone a chance to participate in the province’s economy and communities, stated a press release from the Ministry of Community and Social Housing. It is also part of the government’s four-part plan to invest in people’s talents and skills, make the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history, create a dynamic, innovative environment where business thrives, and

build a secure retirement savings plan.

This funding is part of the government’s three-year, $810-million investment in community and development services.

There are an estimated 65,000 adults with developmental disabilities in Ontario and about 18,000 of them receive developmental services residential supports.

Over the next two years, the government has committed up to $6 million, province-wide, for demonstration or research projects through the housing task force. A total of up to $3.47 million over two years is being provided for the first group of selected projects.

The task force is planning a second call for proposals later this year for the remainder of funding.

Awareness from national veterans ride is critical for local veteran Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Walking past Dan Beaulieu on the streets of Smiths Falls, the average resident may take note of his fitness, maybe give a nod to his Rideau Search and Rescue volunteer shirt, but they may not realize he is a veteran of the Canadian Air Force. Beaulieu hopes this week’s Ride Across Canada stop in town will change that.

“It’s going to raise a lot of awareness,” he said of the national ride’s Aug. 27th stop over at the Smiths Falls Cenotaph on Beckwith Street.

“When you say veterans it’s not the gray haired people. It could be the 20- to 40-year-old,” Beaulieu added.

The national effort (known as Ride Across Canada) to ride on horse back from British Columbia to Newfoundland aims to recognize the veteran who currently lives invisible in many Canadian communities. Beaulieu hopes the ride will also encourage a conversation around what this new generation of veteran needs from its community.

It was 1999 when Beaulieu ended his 21-year career in the air force at the position of Warrant Officer, and the realities of civilian life began to wash over him. The biggest challenge for him was adjusting to a life without a strict schedule.

“There is no structure. There’s nothing really there for you to give you the guidance,” Beaulieu said.

Stacey Roy/METROLAND

Dan Beaulieu is an active volunteer of the Rideau Search and Rescue, as well as 585 Squadron who has made his home in Smiths Falls for more than the last decade. He is the only local veteran to take part in this week’s Ride Across Canada to raise awareness of the invaluable efforts our veterans have given the country and our community.

His transition into civilian life began in a staged manner as Beaulieu left the air force to begin work with aerospace company, Bombardier. After two and a half years Beaulieu felt it was time to leave the aerospace industry all together and wanted a complete change of pace in Ontario. He chose Smiths Falls as his new home because it was central and left his family in Montreal behind to set down roots in eastern Ontario.

“This is the longest I’ve ever been in any one location,” Beaulieu said, noting

his 11 years in the community.

Beaulieu’s military career may have begun in September 1978, but his training began immediately after birth since his father is a retired veteran as well, meaning lots of travel throughout his childhood. Beaulieu recounts the proudest moment of his life as being one particular change of command parade he led as Warrant Officer when he had flown in his parents to see the procession.

“When I got out of the air craft he said ‘that’s my boy’,” Beaulieu said of

do for the country since the war in Afghanistan.

“That transition, I feel, has already happened,” he said.

He said he looked forward to getting into the saddle this week and riding into downtown Smiths Falls with Elliston.

This Wednesday’s Smiths Falls stopover will be the first time Beaulieu has been on a horse since the 1990s, and he said he is proud to have the opportunity to honour his fellow veterans in this way.

“It was a very rewarding career and I’d do it again if I had to,” he concluded.

The Ride Across Canada will travel across Canada in roughly 200 days. Donations are being accepted through their secure website: www.communitiesforveterans.com or by cheque to “Communities For Veterans Foundation.” Please mail the cheques to 2911 Kersley Dale Landing Road, Quesnel, B.C. V2J 6L7.

All funds raised above the cost of the ride will go to support veterans and their families. Organizers are planning to collect veterans’ stories and make them available to the public as a way to increase awareness of the impact veterans have made in so many lives.

“Stories from people that have been impacted by the work that veterans have done are going to be very powerful. Veterans need to hear them,” reads a press release from organizers.

After 2,000 hours of flight time, the Smiths Falls resident started fresh in small town Ontario. Once here, Beaulieu struggled to deal with unstructured life and so began to volunteer with Rideau Search and Rescue to fulfill his need for structure. He is currently the president of the Ontario Search and Rescue Volunteer Association and a member of the board of directors of the Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada. His volunteer hours with the local 585 Squadron Air Cadets Corps harkens back to his years in cadets and the value he felt he got from it.

“It’s my way of giving back to that military community that I was used to,” he said.

Beaulieu applauds the military programs such as the military family resource centre and the many legions for providing valuable resources, but finds the most soothing thing for him to do is talk about his war stories with other veterans like Ray Elliston, coordinator of the Kingston-Ottawa Ride Across Canada campaign.

“We both kind of feed off each other.

Our conversations that we have are so different than if I’m talking to my partner,” Beaulieu said.

While public education around recognizing the changing age demographic of the Canadian veteran is important to Beaulieu, he said he feels the local community is aware and appreciative of military service members and all they

Jane Ford and Charles Wang thanked Smiths Falls council for a very valuable experience in municipal government. Ford hopes to return to the horseshoe next fall for a second year as a youth councillor, while Wang moves on to the University of Toronto. Their last day as councillors was Aug. 24.

Bellamy Farm agreement goes to council The following information comes from a public meeting, regular Smiths Falls committee of the whole session and special council session held Monday, Aug. 24, 2015.

Bellamy Farm agreement Mayor Shawn Pankow’s motion to pull the Bellamy Farm Subdivision Agreement approval from this week’s special council meeting and discuss the decision to accept $30,000 in lieu of parkland was defeated at the committee level Aug. 24. The mayor noted the agreement to accept the funds was made back in 2013, but his concern around having upwards of 1,000 residents living in the subdivision and no parkland available still lingered.

Nicole McKernan, town planner noted this compromise was struck as the developer felt to provide the parkland would not be economical for them. The funds will be earmarked for park investment. The agreement will move forward to Council in September as is. Bill Holzman, agent for the developer, noted construction on the subdivision could begin this fall. A Traffic Assessment will be done when phase two of the development begins as the Ferrara Drive extension will be incorporated into the plans. In a related matter, the town rescinded a 2006 sign bylaw exemption to allow a commercial sign on the Ferrara Drive lands.

The agreement was made with the developers, but the sign was never undertaken until this past month. Street KIA has a temporary lease agreement for the land

PTSD

From front page

Knowing disability leave is only short term, he was already feeling the pressure to make progress and has now experienced a setback.

“Sadly, his story is not unique,” DiNovo said of cases like Waters.

The bill was born when a young constituent who worked as a first responder went to her office asking for help with WSIB. She has heard from those involved in the process that clear guidelines on assessment of PTSD in first responders is much-needed.

She said she believes doing this may actually save the government money by allowing those afflicted to focus on their therapy program and not on how they are going to pay their bills. In many cases PTSD patients can recover and return to work when given the support they need in a timely fashion.

“We need to give them the dig-

nity of coverage,” DiNovo said.

MPP Randy Hillier is not convinced, voicing a concern that Bill 2 would remove the requirement to prove that work caused the PTSD. “It would just open up the floodgates,” Hillier said.

Two years ago Bill 2 received second reading approval before a new government was elected and the bill died. DiNovo hopes her newest attempt will catch the ear of the ruling Liberals and result in real change for first responders in Ontario before the next election is called.

“All they have to do is act and that’s what we’re asking,” she said.

Alberta has had a similar law in place since 2012.

The paramedic profession itself is relatively young, with the term paramedic put into frequent use in the early 2000s. This contributes to the level of acknowledgement of the profession, as

well as the hope that future progress is forthcoming.

“That comes with the growing pains of things,” Carss said.

Ambulance monument This Sept. 18 to 21 ambulance services across the province will be travelling by bicycle from Toronto to Ottawa in the hopes of raising funds to establish a national monument honouring paramedics who have lost their lives in service. According to the Tour Paramedic Ride website (www.paramedicride.ca), 39 Canadians have lost their lives in the line of duty since 1988. The Lanark County service lost Mat Popplewell last summer due to the troubling memories his work as a paramedic left with him.

“Having a monument with Mat’s name on it would be a fitting way to honour him,” McCabe said.

The ride will have a stop at the Merrickville Blockhouse on Sept. 21.

AMO conference gives Smiths Falls mayor hopeful boost of confidence

WANTED

Stacey Roy

30 PEOPLE WITH HEARING LOSS

sroy@perfprint.ca

Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow said he feels key issues for the town are moving forward at the provincial level following a full schedule of meetings and seminars held at the annual Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) Conference in Niagara Falls.

Smiths Falls representatives attended last week’s conference with three key issues in mind: infrastructure, vacant buildings and emergency services. The head of council said he didn’t leave empty handed.

“It’s pretty encouraging,” the mayor said.

Yasir Naqvi, minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services announced a review of the Police Services Act will be undertaken with public consultation incorporated in the process. A schedule for this consultation has not be communicated as yet, but a press release dated Aug. 13, 2015 does note it will look at four key issues: • Enhancing accountability and strengthening civilian governance of police service boards. As well, it will look at how to ensure PSBs are effective and work within clear mandates; • Improve interactions between police and vulnerable Ontarians. This will include enhancing frontline responses to those in crisis; • Clarify police duties, modernize training programs and deliver services using a range of public safety personnel; and, • Develop a provincial framework for First Nations policing to ensure equitable and culturally responsive policing for these communities.

The current Police Services Act was enacted 25 years ago in 1990.

“The world of crime has changed dramatically since then,” Pankow said.

Interest Arbitration Municipalities will be receiving a report before the end of the year detailing potential changes to the arbitration process for emergency service workers. Communities will be asked for their feedback on this report before further action is taken.

Many emergency service employers, including the province itself, are struggling with the rising costs of emergency services like police. The concern is these increases will soon outstrip a community’s ability to pay. Smiths Falls police budget sits at $4.8 million this year or 30 per cent of the town’s overall budget.

“Certainly in that instance our concerns have not fallen on deaf ears,” Pankow said.

This is the second time the issue has been brought up to Ontario politicians. The item was also passionately discussed at February’s Good Roads Conference.

Infrastructure The big issue on the mayor’s mind was infrastructure work on Beckwith Street and the rehabilitation of the Stone Arch Bridge.

“We hope they understand how critical a need that is. We know there’s work that has to be done next year,” Pankow said of the bridge.

Estimated costs to complete work needed on the bridge is pegged at $2.2 million.

The town was turned down for Connecting Link funding this year, but Pankow said ministry representatives did encourage Smiths Falls to re-apply.

He is looking into the possibility of making a dual application for funding to cover needs on Beckwith Street and the bridge as both connect Highway 15 from Ottawa to Kingston.

Qualified Participants Needed for Technology Field Test

During this Limited-Time event, we are looking for people like you, who may be experiencing varying levels of hearing loss to evaluate a remarkable new line of digital hearing aids and a rehabilitative process that could be the solution to your difficulties.

Call us toll-free today at one of the numbers below to see if you qualify for this Field Test. Potential candidates will be given a FREE hearing test to determine candidacy.

Participants will be given a FREE in-office demonstration, and the opportunity to evaluate the latest, most advanced hearing aid technology for 30 days at drastically reduced rates. A refund* is available at the end of the test period if you feel your test aids do not improve your hearing. re t open-fit op and A full range of sizes are available in this new technology, including the exceptionally disscreet IIC models shown here:

Mayor Shawn Pankow “I think we’re pretty fortunate” to have the Highway 15 work that has been done to date. “The key missing link is the sections in town,” said Pankow.

Vacancy rebate Another delegation topic the town brought to AMO is regarding the need to review vacancy rebates for town properties. Currently, property owners without tenants can apply to the town to have their property taxes reduced until such time as the space is rented. The concern is the rebate doesn’t encourage property owners to actively seek out tenants.

Pankow said the government staffer he spoke with assured him the issue is under review as a result of municipal lobbying.

“I do expect we could see some changes,” he said.

Malcolm Morris, CAO provided a brief report on an AMO seminar he sat in on that focused on how municipalities can maximize the amount of revenues from commercial transactions. This would include naming rights on town assets such as the library, arena and service vehicles.

“We should be assertive in terms of generating revenue from some of our assets,” Morris said in answer to the mayor’s question about whether the town should have a policy in place.

The most likely place for this policy would be within the existing procurement bylaw, which is scheduled to be revised. Currently, this bylaw does not speak to naming rights on town-owned assets, though it has been done in town before.

Coun. Chris Cummings noted a fundraising committee of two was able to raise $350,000 in sponsorship at the arena. This included seat naming rights, the arena clock and dressing rooms.

Cummings noted many of these agreements will be up for renewal shortly.

“I’m sure there’s lots of opportunity in the community, so that’s a good discussion to have,” Cummings said.

In general, Pankow said the conference re-affirmed to him that the town was moving in the right direction with its efforts in the Service Review and plans to undertake a Financial Sustainability Plan for the town.

Similar to choosing between contact lenses or glasses, you can decide with your hearing professional which hearing aid style would best suit you. Both styles have approximately the same performance and functions, but are fitted to the ear differently.

It’s almost a shame this technology isn’t more visible!

Open-fit and Invisible-In-the-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are smaller and more beautiful than ever, striking the perfect balance between size and performance. The elegant and highly discreet open-fit hearing aid fits perfectly on top of your ear, and the thin tube in your ear canal is designed to disappear against your skin. The new IIC hearing aid--now with wireless technology--provides all of the outstanding features and benefits you want in a digital hearing aid, minus the stigma that came with wearing one in the past.

Letter to the Editor

Little too loosey goosey along waterway in town Dear Editor:

Smiths Falls has a whole new fresh look with the lovely stately red brick water treatment plant, the combined two new cheery, first-rate indoor rinks with adjacent super year-round outdoor rink, the hospital makeover and addition (teehee, for Perth baby deliveries), the condo/business makeover of the old Smiths Falls High School, the Gallipeau Centre and many lovely home gardens (notably the white picket fenced-in garden in the middle of the Park Avenue block looking on to Murphy Park waterfront).

Of course, the jewel is the Station Theatre for live theatre, motion pictures, and concerts with state of the art sound, lighting and screen. It dazzles with a uniquely styled bridge across the two-storey foyer.

But how fresh, no pun intended, a look is Murphy Park on the Rideau wa-

terway when it is paved with Canada geese bullet-size pellets?

I overheard two cabin cruise boaters moored in late July by Centennial Park and its three shooting fountains, call Murphy Park “the (poop) park!”

One answer to the problem is for the Town of Smiths Falls to replace the twoyear old concrete ramp to the pedestrian bridge that crosses the Rideau River near the Water Treatment Plant so you can walk round about to Victoria Park’s waterfront. The ramp has actually sunk three inches after this year’s deluge of spring water. The poorly designed twoyear-old flood control banks had all its lattice style concrete rectangles washed out along with the stone dust. Oh yah, their concrete lattices are well-used now to hold up the ramp so that it can’t sink any further. Yet this crossing is off limits to the public.

Like me from Perth, Smiths Falls walkers trespass around the high steel fence section at either end of the walkway. A return to regular pedestrian traffic would help keep the Canada geese off the island here and in Murphy Park.

Another solution is to ask Queen Elizabeth or the city of Ottawa for Royal Swans. In Ottawa, a pair of Royal black and white swans patrol the Rideau River between Windsor Park, Bank Street bridge and Brewer Park. More swans have joined in.

Give those Canada geese the swan song. Return Murphy Park’s warm sandy beach to kids so that they can splash gleefully or swim in the channel water. Further along outside the channel, teenagers are still diving from the concrete wall.

rooke Henderson is cool as a cucumber under pressure.

There is a lot at stake here for this girl who is about a week away from turning 18 and she’s handling it like the pro she is. I love seeing her on the Golf channel with her parents, Dave and Darlene, right in her corner… along with sister Brittany, when she’s not playing herself, she’s caddying for Brooke. Her fan support, both on the links and back home, is stellar. What a recipe for success this team makes!

Our golfing sensation from Smiths Falls earned her LPGA card with gusto last week, just moments after winning the Cambria Portland Classic – her first LPGA title. It didn’t take the Commish long to grant her that well-deserved tour card.

Nor did it take long for the media to hound that poor girl as she made her way to Vancouver last week for the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open.

As a news editor, I was alerted to the breaking news that Brooke has just received her LPGA card. There was a news conference on Tuesday, Aug. 18, where she, along with other golfers in the CP Women’s Open, would have a chance to speak to media. If I wanted to watch it, I could live stream it. If I wanted to ask a question, I had to email it to LPGA media rep, Matt Haas, who would ask it on my behalf. The chances were about 1 in 1,000 that my question would be asked, but I fired off an email request anyway.

Brooke was elegant and well spoken under fire. She sat with a moderator who directed questions from the media gathered in the conference centre.

Well, it got to the end of the conference, and she hadn’t taken any online questions until... wait for it.

Matt Haas from LPGA says, “Laurie Weir from Smiths Falls has a question.”

I hear Matt reading my question: “Your dad was mentioning, talking to the announcers on Sunday afternoon, and you were going really low, obviously, for the whole week, and he said, ‘Welcome to Brookeville.’ How often do you get to that point in your game?”

Brooke smiled from ear to ear and laughed out loud. It was her first break in concentration during her half-hour under the heat of the lights of cameras and hound dog reporters who were smoking her with the same-ol’-same-ol’ questions.

She said: “You know, that’s pretty cool. Last week was a special week.

Everything was working, and I could have been a lot deeper than 21-under.

I missed some short birdie putts. Even on Sunday I did. But I was just trying to push it as hard as I could and trying to get as low as I could so that nobody could catch me, and I was able to succeed in doing that. Like I said, it was a very special week, and I’m hoping I can have more of those in the future.”

Matt Haas says, “And Laurie has as a follow-up to that question. How would

LAURIE WEIR Weir View you feel if Smiths Falls town council was to rename Smiths Falls Brookeville?”

Again, Brooke smiled and nodded as the question was being read. She responded with another laugh.

She said, “I don’t think that’s necessary. It would be cool, I’m not going to lie about that, but no, I think Smiths Falls is a good name.”

Brooke has been consistent in her message both throughout the conference and since she’s been the young, new face of Canadian women’s golf – that she’s thankful for the opportunity to be able to live her dream. She’s going to keep doing what she loves and not think about the pressures of the media.

I hope she realizes that she doesn’t have to grant every media request – it’s OK to say ‘no’ once in a while.

During the conference, Brooke had this to say on becoming a member of the LPGA. “Since I was a little girl in Smiths Falls, Ontario, my dream has been to play on the LPGA Tour. I am so grateful for the opportunity to join the tour as a member and play alongside so many of my role models. Realizing this dream here at the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open in my native Canada is even more amazing and I am so proud to be an ambassador for golf in this amazing country. I would like to thank Commissioner Mike Whan, the LPGA Tour staff, and all my sponsors, fans, friends and my amazing family for all the support I have received.”

There were lots of big names on the Canadian Women’s Open player card, including the eventual winner Lydia Ko, defending champion, So Yeon Ryu, along with fellow Canadians Lorie Kane and Alena Sharp.

Brooke had the crowd in her corner as they welcomed home the Canadian girl. With new demands on her time (all that media attention) she had to juggle her schedule for all the requests for interviews and autographs by all those new and adoring fans (and lots of fans who have been with her from the beginning, too).

“After a win and coming back to Canada, I have received a lot of attention that made my schedule extremely busy,” Brooke told media following a round of tournament play. “But it’s a great problem to have, as I’ve been saying to a lot of people. I learned a lot about myself and how I can handle it, and I think it will be good for the next time.”

In Brooke’s opening round on Thursday, Aug. 20, she fired a 2-under 70. On Friday, she carded a wobbly 3-over 75 but still maintained a plus-one, narrowly escaping the cut.

Cool down this month with 2015 Ice Bucket Challenge sroy@perfprint.ca

Supporters of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) patients and their families want the refreshing effects of last year’s Ice Bucket Challenge (IBC) to spill over into this year with the return of the IBC this August.

The 2014 IBC in support of ALS was a viral phenomenon that raised $17 million across the nation of which $11.5 million was earmarked for research to find treatments and a cure and $4.4 million was utilized to support Canadians currently living with the condition.

“The impact is huge,” said Lianne Johnston, eastern Ontario regional manager for ALS Canada.

Brain Canada heard about the viral challenge and pledged $10 million in matching funds for research, which was added to last year’s total.

“It has been a game changer,”

Johnston added of the challenge. “The momentum has to be kept up.”

Last year, local organizations, politicians and families in the Smiths Falls area gathered at Lower Reach Park to take part in the IBC. “It was a feel good experience,” added Sandra Burson, co-ordinator of the Smiths Falls ALS Walk. “It was just fabulous to see the awareness.”

This year’s event will return to its roots and feature only the ALS Walk Saturday, Sept. 26, 2015 at the Kinsmen Pavilion in Lower Reach Park. Checkin for the 5km and 10km walk route will begin at 9 a.m. with the walk starting promptly at 10 a.m. Though the Ice Bucket Challenge isn’t going to be done en mass at the park this year, it’s not too late to let the ALS community know you are behind them by taking part in your own back yard.

Years ago, I used to enjoy the honks of Canada geese as they passed through or stayed a week or two in the fall and spring. Now I’d much rather howl with the wolves (which I did at Almonte’s recent fabulous Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival),

than resonate honks with Canada geese.

Smiths Falls, you have many beautiful areas to walk around.

But the geesey areas are a little loosey, goosey with you know what!

“I’ve had a little bit of a crowd; almost everywhere I’ve gone, I’ve had some people that were supporting me. I think the more and more I play on Tour and the more better finishes I have – I have people saying, ‘Let’s go follow Brooke Henderson’s group.’ That’s really amazing and hopefully it continues to grow and get bigger.”

She’s off to Alabama this week for the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic.

She will then be home for a week before heading to France for the Evian Championship.

picture, she’s of bantam age and the year was 2010/11. She was only 12 in that photo – her father was the assistant coach, and he’s pictured in the back row, right side.

Walt Dubas was another assistant coach (pictured back row, second from the right). He’s now the assistant coach for the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears.

Walt says Brooke hasn’t changed a bit from those days a half-decade ago.

“She was very coachable… a lovely girl. She listened, was a great athlete… very humble.

The same as she is now.”

We have no doubt that Brooke will remain humble as she continues living her dream.

Congratulations and good luck, Brooke, and don’t be afraid to say ‘no’ to the media.

Donations can be made securely online at: alsicebucketchallenge. ca. ALS Canada is encouraging participants to use recycled water or recapture the water for

other uses in light of the ongoing draught in many parts of the country. Johnston did her challenge in the vegetable garden that needed watering that day.

“We will carry on every August raising awareness. Until we get a cure we can’t stop,” Johnston said.

Last year’s funds have and will go a long way to helping Johnston’s local clients who live with the day-to-day realities of the illness, but she emphasizes it is the awareness and the message of support the country sent to the ALS community through last year’s participation that meant the most. Johnston’s client, Brian Parsons was one of many ALS patients who urged for the IBC to become an annual fundraiser due to the support they felt.

“The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge gave me back the voice that ALS was taking from me.

It took my personal struggle and gave it validation and hope. We need to keep going to fund research so that one day ALS will be treatable, not terminal. I ac-

cept the passing of the bucket from co-founder Pat Quinn to unite Canadians, and challenge them to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge this August and every August until we find a cure,” said Parsons in a press release.

ALS is a progressive neuromuscular disease where nerve cells die leaving voluntary muscles paralyzed. The legacy of the Ice Bucket Challenge will have long-term benefits for everyone who is currently and will be facing this illness after the government approved a long lobbied for increase in compassionate care funding from six weeks to six months.

“That will have a huge impact on all of my care givers,” Johnston said.

The funding extension will be in place as of January 2016. ALS diagnosis is expected to increase as the baby boomer generation continues to move into its golden years. On average, the regional ALS office welcomes a new client every week and loses a client to death each week. Please go to www.als.ca for further details.

Saturday, she got into some bogey trouble but still managed to end with an even par 72.

Brooke saved the best for last with a 5-under 67 to win the top Canadian honours. She tied for 23rd overall and earned US$22,218.

“It was a really fun day out there today,” Brooke said Sunday afternoon. “I was only 1-under through nine but I was hitting the ball really well and giving myself a lot of opportunities. So to go 4-under the back nine and finish birdie, birdie, 17, 18, is definitely a cool feeling, and good momentum builder for this week.”

She said she’s excited to be a tour pro because now she has somewhere to play. “I know I’m playing next week, which is really exciting,” she said.

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

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your mind is racing a mile a minute. Although it may be challenging, you have to find a way to slow down and focus on one thing for the time being.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, put some thought into your long-term financial goals. Planning now will help you realize your goals down the road. Don’t put off a meeting with your advisor.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you will get another crack at an opportunity that recently passed you by. Just be patient and prepare for the chance that awaits you in the near future.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You need to find ways to relax, Cancer. Schedule time to unwind, whether it is dancing, listening to music or practicing yoga. Make the most of your elevated energy levels.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you have a lot on your plate at the moment, so shelve some immediate plans you had. Right now you don’t have the time to devote to them.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, continue to work hard and rewards will come to you in the professional arena. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed, and soon this will be made clear to you.

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 29 - Thursday, August 27, 2015

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you are anxious to announce plans for a new chapter in your life.

But you might want to table your enthusiasm for the time being until these plans are confirmed.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Your ideas carry a lot of weight at your job and within your circle of friends, Scorpio. This week you may be called on to come up with a few new thoughts on getting things done.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, understand that others do not necessarily have your thick skin. Consider your words carefully before delivering some constructive criticism to a friend or loved one.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, your attention to detail can make your projects take much longer than others’, but that’s what separates you from the pack. If it’s worth doing, it is worth doing right.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Words come easily to you this week, Aquarius. It may be worth your while to negotiate a raise or debate an issue that has been bothering you lately. Your point of view will be heard.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you may know how someone close to you is feeling even before they confide in you. Your intuition is on fire this week.

Passed away suddenly at her residence on August 15, 2015 at the age of 66 years.

Born July 7, 1949, she was the daughter of the late Naureen Betts (née Moodie) and Harold Betts and by her loving partner John Murphy.

Send condolences, place a donation, light a memory candle or share a special thought of Susan online at www.irvinememorial.com Stop all the clocks Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.

For nothing now can ever come to any good. ~ W. H. Auden

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

PENNETT, Colleen – In memory of our little angel in heaven since August 28, 1985.

Only two nights in your life you were not by my side.

Once with your Grandma and once with your friend.

I now often wonder how much better life would have been if you had not been taken so soon.

You made me a better person, you made me see the world through the eyes of an innocent child.

Your zest for fun, your wanting to know about all things around you, your love of all living things, even spiders and snakes.

You saw beauty in everything, how I miss that and how I miss you “Little Snook�.

Pray for me so that I may join you and once again see all the wonders through your eyes.

Ever Loved and Ever Missed Mommy and Daddy

Louanne Pepper (nĂŠe Donahue) In memory of our beautiful wife and mom August 22, 2011.

We little knew that morning God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you You did not go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again.

Missing you every day Lou, Mom and AKA Bug Ace, Sarah, Ace Jr. In memory of a wonderful daughter-in-law August 22, 2011.

Merrickville Artists’ Guild goes face first in 2015 For over 30 years, the Merrickville Artists’ Guild annual autumn studio tour has given thousands of art lovers a peek into our creative worlds. But a once-a-year event does not satisfy artistic appetites for makers or collectors. And everyone holds a studio tour these days.

This realization prompted an extraordinary idea within the guild.

“We need to re-imagine ourselves. After all, MAG (as the Merrickville Artists’ Guild is affectionately known) isn’t just a studio tour. We are a talented group of passionate people! We are MAG artists.”

Submitted photo To an artist, we were in total Monica Viola, an artist with the Merrickville Artists’ Guild is agreement - and this in itself was shown with a piece of her art work. This year’s studio tour is an epiphany!

new brilliant MAG Artists. Angelina Wrona, painter, Vanda Stanley, potter and Monica Viola, potter and glass artist.

Michael Gray, glass artist and our freshest face of the MAG Artists (you’ll just love the ‘stache) is on the Tour this year along with Holly Dean, painter; Larry Thompson, artist & printer; Linda Feige, sand-casted signs; Graham Thomas, painter; Martin Green, painter; Sue Boswell, potter; Jim Weller, painter; Robin Baker, artist & printmaker; Mike Venables, photographer and Molly Quayle, quilter.

Our outstanding guest artists include Jamie Brick, fantasy artist; Herman Ruhland, abstract artist; Douglas MacDonald, cast stone sculpture; Deb Alexander, artist; Heather Snow, artist and Laura Starkey, painter and designer.

MAG Artist David Dunn, painter, is inspired by the award winning gardens of his Rideau Woodland Ramble. He hosted a MAG Artists event earlier this year and we look forward to more.

Celebrating change this year is MAG Artist Claudette Hart, who is now a fibre artist and is holding a tour within a tour with all her guest artists!

So this year, on the weekends of Sept. 26 and 27 and Oct. 3 and 4, come out and visit MAG Artists in their studios. It’s free, self-guided and brochures are available online, in Merrickville stores, and in venues across Eastern Ontario.

Here’s to the next 30 years! You will be seeing a lot more of us.

Colonoscopy; If It’s Good for the Queen and President, it’s Good For You

How foolish some people are.

Even when it means dying from a large bowel cancer at an early age.

I`ve seen it happen many times over the years. So here are 10 points that can prevent this needless tragedy.

One – About 90 percent of colon cancer occurs in people over 50 years of age. This provides ample time to detect and treat this malignancy. But there is one big hurdle, and I`ve heard friends and patients Dr. Gifford-Jones react to it over and over again. They casually respond, ` Yes, I`m going to have a colonoscopy one of these days“. 99 percent of the time this means none of these days. And I`ve seen some of these people die horrible deaths from this common preventable malignancy.

Nine – There’s no general agreement on when to have a colonoscopy. 90 percent of colon cancer occurs after 50 years of age. But since some begin earlier, I believe it’s prudent to have a colonoscopy in the early 30’s. Moreover, since 10 to 15 percent of colon malignancies occur in those with a close relative who has the disease, all the more reason to arrange for an early colonoscopy. It’s a win/win situation.

Local teacher presents artistry with political message ahead of Oct. 19 vote Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Combining fashion with political messaging isn’t just the medium for Rebecca Soudant’s most recent art exhibit, it is a message unto itself.

Soudant, an art teacher at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI), has admired the First Nations community for their ability to live on the land without destroying it, and uses different mediums like fabric to encourage others to live within their means and not to any societal standard.

“I really admire First Nations on the vanguard of pointing us in the right direction,” Soudant said. “The mantra of growth has to change.”

Her contribution to the upcoming Citizen VOX exhibit, being housed at Studio 22 in the heart of Kingston’s downtown market area in September and October, features three dresses: a white wedding gown that’s been tattooed with the original First Nations tribal maps with the words ‘Indian Removal’ on it, a ceremony dress with newspaper coverage of Canada’s apology to the First Nations people and a red dress with the phrase, “What will I wear or be made to wear tomorrow,” hand stitched with beads on the front.

Her objective is to use the corporation’s method of messaging through clothing and popular culture to counteract the story lines of big money.

Above is Rebecca Soudant’s fabric art pieces that will be part of an upcoming Citizen VOX art exhibit in Kingston, which aims to encourage the voting public to get out Oct. 19 and cast their ballot. Soudant is an art teacher at SFDCI. “The messages on the walls don’t always get through,” Soudant said. “A lot of people get their identity from brand names, so I kind of use that as a way to get my message out.”

The local teacher and Kingston native has used many mediums to express her authentic voice including metal, oils on canvas and silk screening. Hersh Jacob, co-owner of Studio 22, said he is excited to have Soudant

be one of over 20 area artists who are contributing to the political exhibition whose aim is to inspire voters to get out and cast their ballot Oct. 19.

“We feel that it’s very important that people vote and they express themselves,” Jacob said. “I don’t understand how people can take it for granted.”

The Kingston studio owner has been involved in politics and en-

gaging the voting public to actively participate since he was a child in Winnipeg volunteering alongside his parents.

The Citizen VOX exhibit will run from Sept. 15 to Oct. 18 at their 320 King St. E. location with plans to run several special events throughout, including a gala opening Sept. 19.

“We’d love everybody to come,” Jacob said. “I think there’s going to be some interesting things.”

Artists in many mediums including music, canvas and fabric art have come together to raise their voice in support of the power of voting. Soudant thanks Studio 22 for their braveness in tackling political issues like this.

“It’s courageous because galleries most often avoid political works in the fear of offending someone. An exhibit like this will be refreshing,” she said.

She worries the voice of youth isn’t heard loud enough in society, so she often encourages her Smiths Falls students to be the leader they’d like to see and use their voice any way they can.

“Part of our job, of course, is to get kids to think critically think for themselves,” Soudant said.

In many ways, the upcoming exhibit is allowing her to live her advice to students.

Another element of her Citizen VOX contribution was initially

meant for her to wear at the school to encourage discussion. Soudant has made a series of hand embroidered jackets that depict morphed corporate logos and thoughtful phrases crafted

by Soudant’s husband such as, “If you think lemmings are easily led then just look at where your own two feet are taking you and what corporate product you have recently bought with borrowed money.”

Being a shy person by nature, Soudant admits she uses art to turn up the volume on her opinions, seeing her work as something that can speak a universal language. This past June her 40-foot long tapestry entitled New Born received first place in the Kingston Arts Council’s Juried Art Salon.

“That was really nice,” she said.

The work is hand embroidered and depicts scenes from her life. Soudant has been driven to create artistically since she was a child, but resisted the urge believing there was no employment future in it until she was accepted into Queen’s fine art program after high school. Now her message has changed when it comes to encouraging her students to find their place in the work force.

“You have to go with what you’re good at,” she said.

Anyone interested in further details on the gala night are asked to contact the studio at 613-546-7461 or email info@s22.ca

Henderson saves best round for last at Canadian Pacific Women’s Open Staff

Fresh off her first LPGA tournament win in Portland last weekend, Smiths Falls’ Brooke Henderson couldn’t quite capture that same magic over the weekend at the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open at the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam, BC. Henderson finished at 4-under overall, good enough to tie for 23rd place with Australian Minjee Lee. That score was also the lowest carded by a Canadian.

Henderson saved her best golf for the final day of play, sinking four of five birdies on the back nine, to finish the day at 5-under 67 and earn US$22,816.

The tournament win went to New Zealand’s Lydia Ko, who claimed her third Canadian Open title in four years.

After her first LPGA win and being granted membership on the LPGA tour Aug. 18, the Canadian Open was a homecoming for Henderson, who was thrust into the spotlight during the week.

She said the fan and media attention has kept her busy but is something she can learn from as well.

“I’ve received quite a bit of attention in my amateur days and then earlier this

year playing well,” she told Golf Canada. “But after a win and coming back to Canada, I have received a lot of attention that made my schedule extremely busy. But it’s a great problem to have, as I’ve been saying to a lot of people. I learned a lot about myself and how I can handle it and I think it will be good for the next time.”

Henderson told the Toronto Star: “It makes it exciting being able to play in front of your home crowd. Even though you are not playing your best, you still have the whole country behind you.”

The 17-year-old hung on to make the cut to play on the weekend, after a gritty round of 75 on Friday. Thursday’s opening day saw her finish at 2-under. Nerves and the hilly golf course may have been factors in her game.

Saturday didn’t start off on a bright note for Henderson as she bogeyed the second hole and found water on the third, ending up with a double-bogey.

Acknowledging the rough start and some putting problems, she finished the day with a birdie on hle 18 and a score of even par 72.

After missing the cut earlier in the week, sister and fellow golf pro Brittany

Henderson caddied for Brooke Saturday and Sunday, which may have contributed to Henderson’s improved play as the weekend progressed.

“She knows me probably better than I know myself sometimes,” Henderson said in an Aug. 22 Toronto Star article.

“Someone that tells me what to do when I’m not playing well and tells me what to do when I am keeping on a roll, that’s really important.”

The final round on Sunday saw Henderson’s putting game back on point and she had her best round of the week, a five-under 67. Her play saw her claw her way from 58th place in the second round, to settle for 23rd overall at the close of the tournament.

Henderson called the tournament a learning experience. “There has been a lot of positives this week, which is always good,” she said. “I know I can take a lot from it and learn from it.”

She currently sits at number 17 in world rankings and has amassed earnings of more than US$680,000 (before and after LPGA member). She’ll be in Prattville, Alabama Aug. 26 to 30 for the Yokohama Tire LGPA Classic at RTJ Capitol Hill.

The Lyn Lightning Bantam Boys Fastball Team qualified to represent Ontario at the Eastern Canadian Fastball Championships to be held at St. Croix, Nova Scotia in late August.

The U16 Lyn Lightning team travelled to Chepstow, Ont., (near Walkerton) to participate in a 17-team elimination tournament from July 3 to 5. The top two teams in this tournament earned births to represent Ontario in the Canadian Championships in Saskatchewan next month and the next two teams will represent Ontario in the Eastern Canadian Championships in Nova Scotia.

Lyn ended up in fourth place and are going to be one of the eastern Canadian representatives.

What made this such a compelling story is that the Lightning was the only team east of Napanee to participate.

Most of the teams from western Ontario had never heard of Brockville (much less Lyn). They know where Lyn is now.

This is an opportunity of a lifetime for these kids, but it comes with a lot of travel expenses..

Men’s Twilight League news Labatt and Titleist teamed up to sponsor the Aug. 6 edition of the SFG&CC’s Thursday Night Men’s Twilight. The format was 3-man scramble and the smaller groups added a little more pressure to every shot.

Glen Campbell, Andre Campbell, Tim Campbell answered the call, posting the low score on the front nine. We can still beat you on the pipes! On the back side, Rob Crogie, Chad Storie, and John McColl, the greatest power trio since Rush, also cruised to victory.

The Roosteraunt closest to the pin prizes went to perennial powerhouses Bruno Patti and Mike Ross for their tee shots on holes 8 and 16.

Eric Maitland and Matt McKenney earned the Burns’ Jewelers prizes for the best second shots on holes 6 and 12.

The Town & Country Chrysler longest drives

were launched by Howard Jeffreys and Bill Arnold on holes 9 and 13, leading to calls for performance enhancing drug testing or at least an analysis of the club’s drinking water.

Don Ross was the lucky 50/50 prize winner, and Greg “Champ” Hull won the bottle draw. Greg also managed to hit a green in regulation this week, a longtime personal goal. His next will be to move back from the champions tees and try to reach the fairway. Good luck, Greg!

The pro shop prizes went to Ron Stenzel, Al Gauthier, and Steve Pope, and the coveted Rocky’s Road Rash ball was placed in the hands of Rick Allard. Rick will have a swing at the Closing’s hole in prize.

Helmet safety earns young Smiths Falls rider new bicycle Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

The first thing Alexah Brewer was going to do was ride her new bike to Nana and Poppa’s place.

Alexah, 5, was one of two winners of a new bike thanks in part to Smiths Falls and District Crime Stoppers, the Smiths Falls Police Service and Canadian Tire.

This summer, young riders spotted by local police officers were given a ticket of sorts – but it was a good one.

“When we spotted kids wearing their helmets while riding their bicycles, we’d take their names and enter them into a draw for a new bike,” said Const. Dave Murphy, Community Service Officer with the Smiths Falls Police Service. “We had 90 kids.”

Not only were the young riders given the opportunity to win a new bicycle, but they were also entered into a draw for one of four $25 gift card to Canadian Tire. This draw took place each Friday leading up to the grand prize draw.

Joe Cayen is the new Canadian Tire owner in

Smiths Falls. He said he had no problem honoring the commitment of the store since he had only taken over in May. “They can pick whatever bike they want,” he said.

Alexah went straight for the ‘Hello Kitty’ pink bicycle with training wheels, as she said she’s not quite ready to go two-wheeling yet.

She said she was “happy” to win the bike.

One thing she wanted to do though, was give away her old bike – which wasn’t really that old at all. Her parents, Brad and Gail Brewer had just purchased one for her at the beginning of summer.

“I am going to give away my old bike to someone who doesn’t have one,” she said.

“We’re pretty proud of her,” her dad said.

“She came up with that all on her own.”

Alexah had participated in a bike safety session, organized by Const. Murphy.

“We had about 15 kids taking part in that, and all their names were entered into the draw,” Murphy said. “This is a great program that helps promote bike safety.”

Smiths Falls Crime Stoppers, Smiths Falls Police Service and Canadian Tire sponsored the Bicycle Helmet Campaign, which encourages young bicycle riders to always wear their helmets. Pictured are: Const. Dave Murphy, new Canadian Tire owner Joe Cayen, Crime Stoppers Gary Lackey and Rick Kirkwood, Smiths Falls Police Deputy Chief Mark MacGillivray, Crime Stoppers Jackie Coldrey and Carl Evoy.

Canal Pursuit for Mental Health to pass through town Sept. 3 jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Clay Williams knows firsthand the effects of depression.

His two older brothers committed suicide and his wife, daughter and sister all suffer from mood disorders.

“It affects everyone in some way,” said Williams.

The 55-year-old Waterloo resident is running 765 kilometers in seven and a half days to help raise awareness about mood disorders and funds for the Mood Disorder Society of Canada.

The run will take him along the Trent Severn Canal and the Rideau Canal, passing through Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Kemptville on Sept. 3.

He explained this is the longest run he has ever done. The idea for the Canal Pursuit for Mental Health stemmed from a few factors coming together.

“I did pretty well in a 225 kilometer trail race, over 48 hours,” said Williams, who placed first in the men’s category.

“I am usually a back of the pack runner. It was as amazing to me as everyone else that I came first.”

He explained every year since 2005 he’s turned his longest run into a fundraiser.

“Last year, the 225 kilometer race was in honour of a friend of mine who passed away from melanoma,” said Williams. “I called up one of my friends and he didn’t really understand the concept of running for 48 hours. His wife said that I should run across Canada for charity. My first thought was I don’t have enough vacation time. I did the math and it would take about three and a half months.”

He said around the same time as this idea was mentioned, the actor Robin Williams committed suicide.

“I have a little brother named Robin Williams,” said Williams. “My two older brothers committed suicide – the oldest in 1982 and the other in 2007. My wife, daughter and sister all suffer from depression.”

He said at the time, his friend registered for a 600 kilometer race in Buffalo, NY, in support of the Mood Disorder Society of Canada. But the race in Buffalo didn’t come to fruition.

“I already recruited a crew and we all booked the time off for that race,” said Williams. “So I started looking at the canal system.”

He said he formed a plan to run along the Trent Severn Canal and the Rideau Canal, all the way to Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

The start point for the Canal Pursuit for Mental Health, which will pass through 88 locks along the two canal systems, is Port Severn.

“I am the only one running, so it’s not really a race this year,” said Williams.

“I will be running about 100 kilometers per day. I’ll have four people – my crew –driving vehicles and setting up rolling stations for food and water.”

More than 200 people so far have signed up to run segments of the race, covering 12.5 kilometers each, with him.

Clay Williams is hoping to raise awareness and funds for mental health by running along the Canal.

“To keep me company and motivated,” he said.

The run, in support of the Mood Disorder Society of Canada, is something Williams hopes to turn into an annual run.

“The Mood Disorder Society of Canada connects health care providers with people suffering from mood disorders and focuses on getting rid of the stigma around depression,” he said.

His goal is to raise $10,000 for the Mood Disorder of Canada. Currently, he is about one third of the way there, with roughly $3,300 in funds raised to date.

“The reason I chose the Mood Disorder of Canada is because they want to keep people talking about depressions – things my older brothers held in,” said Williams.

He said the message is simple – if you’re in a dark place, talk to someone.

“The other part of the message is to get out there and move around,” Williams said. “It’s good for your mental health.”

He said he didn’t really start thinking much about depression until last year.

“When my oldest brother committed suicide, he left a note,” said Williams.

“My dad destroyed the note and said (his death) was an accident, but I knew in my heart it was suicide. I guess it

was seen as a weakness – swept under the carpet. It was definitely something people avoided talking about.”

He said he recently found out it wasn’t his oldest brother’s first attempt at suicide.

He said his daughter wasn’t diagnosed with depression until she was an adult.

“She was the little girl with the bright smile at the breakfast table every morning,” said Williams. “There’s no remedy; all I can do is just let her know I’m there.”

He said each person’s depression is different.

“My daughter gets physically depressed; it takes the energy right out of her,” said Williams. “My wife, on the other hand, has extreme emotions. She used to cry at the drop of a hat and then she would have really bright times too.”

He said in past years, all he’s done is registered for a race and sent out emails asking for donations.

“This run has turned into something very big,” said Wiliams. “My sister has contacted every newspaper, magazine, television show, radio show, mayors, MP’s and MPP’s along the route of the run. She even sent out 52 letters to lawyers because she said you never hear of lawyers donating and they must have

money.”

The run kicks off Aug. 28 at 7 a.m.

People can follow William’s route on the Canal Pursuit Facebook page.

“I smoked for 30 years and I quit smoking in 2002,” said Williams. “I ran a race for the first time in 2004. I was hooked.”

He said one aspect that has surprised him while organizing this run is all the stories people have shared with him about their own experiences with depression.

“So many people are affected by it,” said Williams. “It’s not just statistics on a chart anymore.”

He said his mother told him when she was a kid, her own mother went away to a hospital, came back and didn’t talk about what was going on and then passed away.

“She found out much later it was from cervical cancer, but you didn’t say the ‘C’ word back then,” said Williams.

“There was a stigma around cancer at the time. Eventually, we’ll get to a similar place with mood disorders. People won’t be afraid to talk about it. We have to keep it in the conversation.”

The festival’s mainstage shows, which opened with the comedy Barefoot in the Park and continue until Sunday at 2 p.m. with Wait Until Dark, have garnered very strong praise from some of Canada’s top theatre critics.

Ghosts Walk (last performance is Friday, Aug. 28 at 8 p.m., starting at 54 Beckwith Street East) have attracted the attention of some half dozen travel writers who have enjoyed these celebrations of town heritage as Perth prepares for its 200th anniversary.

Throughout the summer, the festival has also distributed hundreds of free theatre seats through its Savea-Seat program, which opens up spaces for socially and economically marginalized community members in partnership with local social service agencies. Benefits and contributions to local and regional community organizations, including Lanark County Community Justice Program, Friends of the Perth & District Union Library, the Lanark County Grannies, and the Family and Friends Council of Lanark Lodge, have raised almost $10,000 as well.

This summer also featured the professional debut of two young performers – Perth’s Madison Miernik and Smiths Falls’ Samantha Salter – in Wait Until Dark, taking on the role of nine-year-old Gloria See CLASSIC page 42

This ‘Agent’ misses the mark on most levels MOVIE: Hitman Agent 47 STARRING: Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto, and Ciaran Hinds DIRECTOR: Aleksander Bach RATING: 14A Sometimes you know a movie is going to be bad. Hitman Agent 47 is one of those times. What I wasn’t expecting was for Agent 47 to be one of those rare bad films that’s still fun to watch.

A long time ago Dr. Litvenko (Ciaran Hinds) conducted experiments to create the perfect assassin. He was successful. His creations, known as Agents, were faster, smarter and stronger than any human.

Then Dr. Litvenko had a moral change of heart, and disappeared.

In the present his daughter, Katia (Hannah Ware), searches for him, though all she has is a picture and a dim recollection.

For years she has searched while keeping herself hidden.

However, things have changed as two organizations, who are also looking for Dr. Litvenko, have found Katia.

John Smith (Zachery Quinto) is the first to find her. He works for The Syndicate, and

My Take

MARK HASKINS

claims to have been sent to protect Katia from an Agent known only as 47 (Rupert Friend). Agent 47 has come for Katia with orders to use her to find Dr. Litvenko, and then kill them both.

Of course things are never as they seem. John Smith isn’t the hero he claims to be, Agent 47 isn’t the villain he’s made out to be, and Katia isn’t entirely human. It is a movie based on a video game so this sort of thing is to be expected.

A sure sign of a bad movie is when they change the trailer.

In the case of Agent 47 the first preview had Agent 47 as the villain, and then a new preview came out showing him as the hero.

This means either the original movie didn’t do well with test audiences so it was reedited, or the movie company lost faith in the film, and gave the twist away hoping to gain a bigger audience. In the case

of Agent 47 I suspect the latter, but neither is good.

So once the big twist is given away Agent 47 doesn’t have much more going for it.

Sure there are some seizure inducing action scenes, and the obligatory slow motion scenes set to techno-dance music, but otherwise the story is weak, the acting is wooden and large chunks of the plot are unexplained or non-existent.

Yet despite all that I kind of liked Agent 47.

What allows a bad film to still be fun to watch? Partly it’s the seizure inducing action sequences, but it’s also the little bits of campy humour. Sure Friend, Ware and Quinto are emotionless blocks of wood, but their characters are emotionless killing machines so it kind of works. They also manage these brief looks, and bits of dialogue where they’re almost making fun of themselves. It’s those little touches that take a pointless action film and make it fun.

Hitman Agent 47 is not a good film, but it might just make it onto your guilty pleasure list.

New app makes it easier to identify algae, aquatic plants Algae and aquatic plant observations can now be made on your smart phone. The People, Aquatic Plants and Healthy Lakes Project has just released an Android app for lake and river users to report any algae or aquatic plants that they observe on their waterbody.

The Android app called Citizen Water Watch can be downloaded for free at the Google play store. App users will be asked to take a photo

of what they are reporting, provide a description and the location of their observation.

Reports from the app will be stored in a central database for eastern Ontario lakes and rivers.

This database will provide information on when, where and how often algal blooms and excessive aquatic plant growth is occurring.

Algae and aquatic plants are a part of a healthy aquatic ecosystem but

too many can put stress on fish and other organisms in our lakes and rivers.

Many local recreational water users have noted an increase in algae and aquatic plant growth, despite little observed change in nutrient concentrations which are often the cause of algal blooms and excessive aquatic plant growth.

Reporting observations of algae and aquatic plants will help us bet-

ter understand the excessive plant Conservation Foundation. growth and find ways to improve Submitted by the Rideau Valley aquatic environments.

1970 Volkswagen Squareback restored to former glory Beginning in 1961, you could buy what was known as a Type 3 VW car with contemporary styling instead of the Beetle styling that originated in the late 1930s. The Type 3 was produced from 1961 to 1973 alongside the Beetle – and many buyers opted for the newer look.

The Type 3 came in three configurations: a fastback, a notchback, and a station wagon known as a squareback. Clare Sutton of Camlachie, Ontario, has one: “I bought my 1970 Squareback from a man in London, Ontario, who had intended to restore it but ran out of time.

I had been looking for one for

years. There was no picture of it in the classified ad but it said ‘1970 VW Station wagon.’

This could have actually been a VW van but I called anyway.

My gut feeling was right!

“I actually dickered with the man for about a year before we agreed on a price. I paid $2500.00 for it and the seller said he was happy that someone got it who would restore it. It was in pretty good shape when I bought it as it had originally come from B.C. “I installed a new headliner, new carpeting, front seat upholstery, new tie rods and ball joints, new Coker radial whitewall tires, new dashboard pad, new exhaust system and heater

boxes, minor body work, and a new paint job by St. Germain Body Shop in Sarnia.

The motor needed a major tune-up. It now runs really well.”

Clare tells us his car won Best 10 of “After 1960 Classics” at the 2013 Sarnia Street Machines “Cruise in the Park.” The motor is under a panel beneath the rear cargo area behind the back seat. It is

a horizontally-opposed 4 cylinder air-cooled, fuel-injected engine. It is about 16” high, which allows it to sit nicely below the cargo area. It is similar to a Beetle engine but much flatter because the cooling fan is connected to the

crankshaft instead of the upright generator on the Beetle.

The engine is usually referred to as a boxer, suitcase, or pancake design.

As Clare points out, the Type 3 VW was the first production vehicle to have a trunk in the back and the front.

“The engine in the Type 3 started out as a single carb 1500cc. When the fastback was added in 1966, it went to a dual carb 1600 cc. In 1968, fuel injection was introduced with a 1600 cc engine with

65 horsepower.

The top speed of 84 mph is also the cruising speed, so you can cruise all day at 84!”

I’m always looking for more stories.

Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2.

Everyone whose story is published in my column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Here are a few vehicle design features we could do without There is now a wealth of features and options available on vehicles that can make driving a lot safer and enjoyable at the same time.

Things like collision mitigation systems, rain-sensitive wipers, power liftgates and the like have solved problems that many of us never knew we had to begin with. But for all the creaturecomfort and safety systems, automakers are still offering items that we really don’t need, but tend to want.

Maybe it’s time to rethink our desires.

Sunroofs. Whether panoramic full glass roofs or the front-half-only style, these are one of the worst ideas to ever come out of an auto designer’s sketch pad. They create an overwhelming wind noise when open and the vehicle is moving at anything over 60 km/h.

They have small drain tubes to remove water that can accumulate if the roof is opened when it’s raining or even if the roof is just wet.

These drains can cause interior water leaks if they become plugged risking trim and electronics damage. They also keep the cabin from warming up quickly on a very cold day thanks to the lack of insulation from the glass panel.

And of course you can imagine the mess that leaving a sunroof open when the vehicle is parked and subjected to an unexpected torrential downpour. The only advantage to having a sunroof is that you can quickly vent hot air when

getting in on a warm sunny day and your passenger has a great view of the sky (as the driver you’re not supposed to be star gazing).

Spoilers. These cosmetic trim items can range from a small inconspicuous lipped edge on the trunk lid all the way up to a wing more befitting of a small aircraft. In marketing terms they’re supposed to provide additional down force on the rear end of the vehicle for a more stable ride. In reality they only have this effect at extremely high speeds. They will, however reduce fuel economy and trap enough snow and ice during the winter to make the deck lid hard to open.

Parking lamps. These have been around for decades proving that few carmakers ever think to question the status quo. They are not required to legally operate the vehicle on any public road. If it’s dark enough for lights, by law you must turn on your vehicle headlamps and daytime running lights are fully automatic. So parking lamps are a throwback to the era when car designers figured we all needed help finding our vehicles when parked in the dark.

I came across a new vehicle recently whose designers finally eliminated that useless position on the headlamp switch (2015 Jeep Renegade).

there are features that we really could use and the technology exists to bring them to market. What about a rain sensing system that could roll up your power windows if you left them down when parked? For any who might worry that this might risk to injury if a passer by happened to have one of their body parts in the way when the glass was closing, many of today’s power windows have a safety sensor that will stop and reverse the travel of the glass if an object is detected. Besides why would a passer by be reaching into your parked car?

Tip of the week: If you’re driving along and your vehicle engine starts to sputter and when you look at the gas gauge you suddenly realize you forgot to fill up, you may be able to get a few extra meters out of the vapors in the tank. If traffic permits, gently swerve left to right within your lane. This can slosh enough fuel to the pump’s pickup at the bottom of the tank to get you up to a block or more of movement. It Photo courtesy goodwindshield.com can make the difference between getting stuck in traffic and making it safely Sunroofs are more often a detriment than benefit.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH:

Still time to ‘glamp’ out in an Ontario Provincial Park in style this summer selfies with friends and family.

Good food equals good times.

• Whether you cook where you camp or take food with you, simple, yet yummy camp food is just a click, and maybe a barbecue match away.

• Enjoy Ontario’s bounty by sourcing goodies from your local farmers’ market.

Find inspiration from Foodland Ontario or LCBO’s Food and Drink magazine.

• Other neat ways to enjoy the camping experience: Buy photography, paintings, stained glass and pottery at Bon Echo’s annual juried exhibition and sale from July 24 to 26.

• Sit in the comfort of the outdoor theatre at Halfway Lake on July 24 to hear Science North staff talk about the wonders of water.

• Find another event happening during your next visit to one of our provincial parks.

Enjoy Ontario’s great outdoors in style this summer by mixing glamour with camping (glamping).

“Ontario’s provincial parks offer so many options for people to enjoy themselves in style,” stated Bill Mauro, Ontario Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. “If you’re new to camping, you might want to ease into it with some of our great glamping tips.”

• Take your campsite with you: Want to drive your campsite to your campsite?

With more than 19,000 car camping sites, many with 15/30 amp electrical service, RVing is a great way to enjoy Ontario Parks. If you don’t own a recreational vehicle, it’s easy to rent one.

• Cabins and yurts and cottages, oh yes!: If you’d rather have a roof over your head, many of Ontario’s provincial parks offer cabins, yurts and cottages.

• Luxury awaits you at Sandbanks Provincial Park’s Maple Rest Heritage House. This former family farmhouse features four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, as well as a gas fireplace, screened porch and beautiful views of Lake Ontario.

• Camping is more comfortable than you might think: If you think of camping as being totally off the grid and have visions of an outhouse, you need to see what Ontario’s provincial parks have to offer now.

• Stay fresh and clean at one of the more than 300 comfort stations with hot showers, many of which offer laundry

Submitted photos More about provincial parks

There are more than 330 provincial parks in Ontario, covering more than eight million hectares – larger than Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island combined.
