Henderson fails to make cut at 2013 CN Canadian Women’s Open

NEWS

By THERESA FRITZ theresa.fritz@metroland.com

Sports – Brooke Henderson was unable to replicate the success she has experienced in recent professional matches over the weekend at the crown jewel of Canadian women’s golf.

The 15-year-old Smiths Falls native failed to make the cut at the 2013 CN Canadian Women’s Open. She shot 72 in both the opening and second round, ending the two days at 4-over.

A total of 73 golfers played through the weekend with the cut coming at a 3-over by the end of play last Friday (Aug. 23). The CN Canadian Women’s Open was won for the second straight year by amateur golfing start Lydia Ko, 16, who shot a final round 6-under 64 over Karine Icher.

Henderson approached the CN Open at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club in Edmonton, Alta. with a great deal of confidence, having had great success off the tee in recent events. This marked her third tournament playing with professional golfers this year. She also played two rounds at last year’s CN Canadian Women’s Open.

Henderson made the cut and tied for 35th at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic in Waterloo. Ont. in July and then tied for 59th at the U.S. Women’s Open in June.

She also won the Canadian women’s amateur championship in Beloeil, Que. in July.

At that event, she shot a 5-under 66 to finish that tournament at 9-under. That amateur victory was preceded by wins at the CN Future Links Pacific Championship in May and the South American Amateur in January.

Prior to the start of the CN Canadian Women’s Open last Thursday, Henderson spoke to the media. She said she was excited to play the Royal May-

HUB pool open to public Sept. 7

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

Holiday deadlines Due to the Labour Day Holiday on Monday, Sept. 2, the deadline for all advertising, Regional Roundup and editorial submissions for the Sept. 5 edition will be moved back one day to today, Friday, Aug. 30 at 4:30 p.m.

Thank you.

Community – Don’t pack those bathing suits away just yet because the new community pool is just about ready to open.

The HUB swimming pool is set to open on Sept. 7 and the water is pouring in.

The issue of how to get water into the pool was easily solved on advice from the town.

“The Gallipeau Centre’s private hydrants are close to the pool and would involve no trucking,” explained Ted

Joynt, water and wastewater operations superintendent for the Town of Smiths Falls.

“Trucking that much water would involve 22 truck loads minimum, at 4,000 gallons per load. And that would be to just fill the pool, not counting initial pool backwashes etc. The logistics of hauling water would not be cheap considering the trucking fees involved.”

In fact, the water started to flow late last week.

“The water went on at 2 this afternoon (Aug. 22) and it should be filled by noon tomorrow,” said Amy Rensby,

HUB director responsible for fundraising.

Once the pool is filled, the mechanical systems can be booted up to ensure all the new filtration and drainage arrays installed by Superior Pools are working as expected.

“Everything is on schedule right now,” said Robert Rodine, vice-chair of the HUB board.

Registration for the various programs has also already begun and is ongoing.

Brooke Henderson fair and to see what she could do.

“I’ve been looking forward to this event all year. Highlight of my summer was playing in the Manulife, Canadian Open this week, and U.S. Open. It’s such a great atmosphere here with the pros here and the beautiful golf course,” she said. “It just all the fans that are going to come up this week, I’m just really looking forward to it.”

When asked prior to the start of the tournament who her mentors were, she had a few names on her list.

“I grew up watching my older sister Brittany play, and she’s definitely been a huge influence on my game. Definitely Morgan Pressel and Lori Kane are two that I’ve always looked up to. I’ve had the opportunity to meet both of them and play with both of them in events. So it’s been truly amazing,” she told media in Edmonton.

During a post game scrum with media, Henderson admitted her second round had not gone as she had hoped. “(I) started out a little rough.

Though I would come back on the back nine and make some birdies but just a little bit of putting out there, missed a little,” Henderson said, adding she has her eye on a professional career. “I would love to play on the LPGA tour in the future.”

Local chapter of CFUW welcome you to open house Sept. 9 Community – Mark your calendars for Monday, Sept. 9, when the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) will hold its second ‘Open House’.

All potential new members are invited to an informational evening to learn more about our very successful and much respected club.

This open house will take place in the Royal Canadian Legion Building, 26 Beckwith St. E., in Perth, from 6 to 8 p.m. and refreshments will be served.

CFUW is an organization of women who are linked regionally, nationally and internationally. We promote quality education, participation in public justice, human rights, social and environmental issues, and the improvement of the status of women and girls, all in an atmosphere of fun, friendship and cooperation.

It is a welcoming club where member-

âœ

More information about us can be accessed at our website: www.cfuwperth-district.com, or from the membership committee chair at cfuw.perth.membership@gmail.com.

During the evening prospective members can learn about our local CFUW (including 16 interest groups), meet our members, and learn about various community volunteer and fund raising projects in which CFUW is involved.

These projects provide the monies for our education awards to women who are pursuing post-secondary education (more than $17,000 awarded this spring).

In fact, almost all our members donate some time to this and have fun doing so.

Brenda Ethier, president of CFUW, and her executive, as well as many of the interest group coordinators, will be

on hand during the open house. Ethier and some of the members will make very short presentations covering details regarding our mandate, our goals, volunteering, and the interest groups available.

accept membership forms right then and there.

Rick Gales retiring as UCDSB’s superintendent of business News – An administrator responsible for revamping transportation and implementing new financial safeguards within the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is giving up the balance sheet in favour of a golf bag and a gardener’s hoe.

Rick Gales, superintendent of business, is officially stepping down on Sept. 1. The man affectionately known as “Crusty� among his colleagues will be replaced by current comptroller of finance Nancy Barkley.

After 24 years working in Ontario’s public education system, Gales rejects any notion of a second career. He is ready to move on to a life of leisure. “I’m planning a trip to Italy and a lot of relaxing, gardening, skiing, canoeing and golfing,� Gales said recently.

The 65-year-old father of three came to the area in September 1989 to work as head of finance for the old Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry County Board of Education, following a seven-year stint in finance with St. Boniface School Division Number 4 in Manitoba.

Following school board amalgamation in 1998, Gales became one of three chief financial officers with the new Upper Canada District School Board. He was responsible for managing the amalgamation of facilities once controlled by the four predecessor boards. In 2001, he won the job as the first superintendent

of business for the new board, under former director Gino Giannandrea.

David K. Thomas, the current director of education for the board, credits Gales for transforming the business department at the UCDSB into a high-performance team. “Rick is a great leader,�

Thomas said. “He has vision, but also gets that we have to be accountable to the public so we can provide a worldclass education to our students. He ensured we have the financial safeguards in place so we are seen as accountable and he has put the right people in place to ensure we get the job done.�

Among Gales’s accomplishments are: playing a critical role in establishing the new Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) busing consortium; establishing financial assistants in the families of schools to better regulate school finances and ease the burden of school office administrators; the creation of an internal auditor’s position to support the system; and the advancement of occupational health and safety practices within the board – changes which have contributed to reduced absentee and accident rates.

Board chair Greg Pietersma says that Gales’ expertise, his wit and his passion for public education will be missed. “Rick is an excellent financial administrator,� said Pietersma. “But what made him so great was not just that

he kept track of our dollars, but that his focus on financial management was always through the lens of what was best for our students. He used our dollars to ensure we de-

liver a world-class education system that helps our graduates succeed.�

One of many examples where this proved true was about eight years ago when

board to revamp special education programs. Despite the loss of funding, the board courageously proceeded with its plan to improve special educa-

CAA reminds motorists about back to school road safety News – With school buses about to make a return to roadways across the province as thousands of students get ready to head back to the classroom, CAA North & East Ontario is reminding motorists to study up on road safety.

Regardless of where your daily commute takes you, under Ontario law motorists travelling in both directions must come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus that has its upper red lights flashing. Failure to stop for a school bus can be a costly decision. For a first offence, drivers face a fine between $400 and $2,000 and the

loss of six demerit points from their licence. Each subsequent offence brings fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000, as well as six demerit points and the possibility of serving up to six months in jail.

Motorists are also reminded that roadways in designated school zones have a speed limit of 40 km/h. Drivers who exceed this speed limit by 16 to 29 km/h can lose three demerit points and be forced to pay a fine, while those found to be going 50 km/h above the posted speed limit could be faced with the loss of six demerit points, a suspended licence, and a fine of

up to $10,000 under the Safer Roads for a Safer Ontario Act. “At CAA North & East Ontario we want to make certain that all children are safe on their way to and from school, which is why we are urging road users to be mindful of young students and school buses making a return to our local roadways,” said Christina Hlusko, president and chief executive officer of CAA North & East Ontario.

As the back to school season gets into full swing, CAA North & East Ontario asks motorists to keep these tips in mind: • Always stop for school buses with flashing red lights

Emerald ash borer found in two areas of Lanark County News – Lanark County is urging residents to take action to slow the spread of the emerald ash borer (EAB), an invasive beetle that aggressively attacks ash trees, following confirmation the insect has been found in two locations within the county.

Stephen Clare, regional program officer for the North East Region of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), appeared before the county’s economic development committee of the whole earlier in August to explain the agency’s regulatory role in slowing the spread of the EAB and to provide general information.

The EAB does not pose a threat to human health, but the CFIA estimates there are 30 million dead ash trees in the US and Ontario, with an estimated two billion at risk in Canada and no natural predator here.

“The EAB has been in Windsor since 2002 and there are no ash trees left there,” Clare said. “North American ash trees are very susceptible. The EAB attacks all except mountain ash, which is not technically an ash tree.”

The borer has been found already in all of the municipalities surrounding the county. The CFIA set traps here in early May. When they were checked in July, two sites were positive for EAB: one in Carleton Place and another near Pakenham in Mississippi Mills.

In Lanark County, about 30 per cent of the forest cover includes a component of ash trees, with the majority of ash-dominated forests occurring in the southeastern portion of the county.

“Now that the EAB has been found here, we want to ensure the public is made aware of ways to slow its spread within the county,” said warden Bill Dobson (Montague reeve). “The main way to do this is to restrict the movement of wood between infested and noninfested areas within our boundaries and beyond since that is a major way the beetle travels.”

To slow the spread of the emerald ash borer to new areas, the CFIA uses measures to control the movement of potentially infested materials. This includes ash logs, branches, nursery stock and wood chips, as well as firewood of all species.

With evidence of the beetle

Lanark County public works department has revealed that the emerald ash borer (EAB), shown above, has been found in the county.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency set traps within the county and in July, two sites tested positive for the EAB: one in Carleton Place and another near Pakenham. Left, the path of destruction the EAB can leave on ash trees.

found here, the CFIA will move to “regulate” Lanark County. “We found the insect on two properties, so wood products cannot be moved off of those properties without CFIA oversight in order to try to slow the spread,” Clare explained.

On April 1, 2014, Lanark County will become part of a large consolidated area in Ontario and Quebec that is regulated in an effort to slow the spread of the pest to unaffected areas.

Firewood or any ash products that have been illegally brought in to Lanark County from a federally regulated area could be infested with EAB. “Lanark County residents can help slow the spread of the EAB by buying or cutting their firewood close to home,” said Jonathan Allen, operations manager for Lanark County Public Works.

“It’s important to learn what ash is and try not to move it around.”

Park and campground opera-

tors, where visitors often bring their own firewood, are urged to be particularly vigilant.

At an Aug. 23 public works committee meeting at the Lanark County building in Perth, county councillors expressed concern about the effect of the die-off of ash trees, particularly in some wetland areas and along certain waterways where the dominant species is ash, which provides shade for the waters and habitat for numerous species.

“This has the potential to be devastating in Lanark County,” said Brian Anderson, advisory services coordinator with Mississippi Valley Conservation, which provides professional forest-management services to the county. “Our wetlands contain black ash stands, our fence rows have green ash and our community forests have white ash. It will affect every ecosystem we have.”

“You have a different situation that is unique to eastern Ontario,” Clare noted. “Ash has come back on lands that were cleared, and we don’t know what we’re going to see with those lands.” He said local municipalities, particularly urban areas, will have to expect increased costs and hazards related to tree removal and maintenance.

Information sessions will be offered to local municipal staff to help them recognize the signs and symptoms of infestation, along with hazard trees, and to identify hot spots.

“Municipalities can explore a variety of ways to plan ahead for the demise of our ash tree population,” Anderson said. “In forested areas, the stand can be thinned to reduce the number of ash trees and diseased trees can be removed. Regeneration or replanting efforts can focus on non-ash species.”

The EAB was first discovered in Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan in 2002 and is believed

THE EMC - 7 - Thursday, August 29, 2013

to have come from eastern Asia in wooden packaging materials in the 1990s. It has since infested most of southwestern Ontario and from Frontenac County east into Quebec. North American trees have little natural resistance to it.

The beetle is a hardshelled, winged insect that is about 1 to 1.5 cm long and a striking metallic emerald green colour. The adult beetles emerge through the bark of ash trees from June to August, leaving a small, D-shaped hole. The adults eat foliage and lay eggs in bark crevices over the summer.

The larvae tunnel through the bark and begin to eat the sap wood, making S-shaped galleries that get progressively larger as the larvae grow.

This cuts off the flow of nutrients and water to the rest of the tree. The larvae spend the winter under the bark, pupate and emerge as adults starting in spring.

Signs of EAB infestation in ash trees include seven to 10centimetre cracks in the bark

of young trees, zigzag galleries under the bark of any ash trees, small D-shaped adult exit holes, increased woodpecker activity, die-back in the top half of the crown, or new, green shoots emerging at the base of the tree. Often, by the time the signs are noticed, the beetles have been in the tree for three or four years already.

The Eastern Ontario Model Forest organization is taking a lead on advising rural landowners about options they have in light of the arrival of the EAB.

The publication “Preparing for Emerald Ash Borer: A Landowner’s Guide to Managing Ash Forests,” can be found on the website.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Reid just doesn’t get importance of food safety DEAR EDITOR: Canadians count on the government to make sure the food we eat is safe, yet when it comes to the inspection system, Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MP Scott Reid and the Conservative government refuse to own up to their own mistakes.

An independent review of last year’s XL Foods E. coli outbreak, which led to the largest beef recall in Canadian history, found that the outbreak was entirely preventable. It found that there was not “a strong food safety culture” in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) at all levels.

Staff were inadequately trained and inspection practices weren’t good enough. Our government failed.

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

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

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

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

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

Frank Valeriote, MP Liberal Party of Canada Agriculture Critic

COMMENTARY Let’s help run down cancer Editorial – It’s been 33 years, but the image of the brave Terry Fox running across Canada’s landscape won’t soon be forgotten.

Fox may have lost his battle with the unforgiving cancer disease, but his Marathon of Hope continues across Ontario, Canada and globally, to this day. This year marks the 33rd anniversary of the Terry Fox Run, which traditionally takes place the second Sunday following Labour Day. It falls on Sept. 15 in 2013.

The month of September is symbolic and chosen by Fox himself. According to the Terry Fox Foundation website (www.terryfoxrun.org) the month was picked “to reflect when he had to stop running and when Canadians had to start.”

Fox lost his battle with cancer on June 28, 1981, just one month shy of his 23rd birthday and the first Terry Fox Run to continue raising funds for cancer research was held Sept. 13 later that year.

There are many ways to keep Fox’s dream alive by participating in one (or several) of the Terry Fox Runs throughout the area. In Almonte, participants will gather at the Almonte Arena at 1 p.m., the same time the Lanark run gets underway. Perth’s event will take place at the Conlon Farm Recreation Complex, beginning at 10 a.m., while both the Elgin (Elgin Lions Hall) and Kemptville (Riverside Park) runs kick off at 10 a.m.

Most routes are bicycle, wheelchair and rollerblade accessible and available in a variety of distances, from 2K all the way up to 10K.

Being bored something that never paid off for Mary Lifestyle – The day was dragging on, too slowly to suit me. It was late summer, and my Saturday chores had been done hours before. Neither of my best friends could come to play.

I was bored beyond belief!

I sat on the cement step surrounding the boards at the pump in the middle of the yard, and curled dandelion stems, just the way my sister Audrey had taught me. They were laid out before me like a pile of pale green pencils.

From the same cement stoop, I had played Jacks, but without someone to play with, I soon tired of that too.

Then I braided long pieces of grass, another talent I learned from sister Audrey. I picked up stones around the pump with my toes. Then I piled them neatly on the platform. Finally, I resorted to letting them plop down the well between the boards, and listened to them drop in the well water below.

It was a hot day for late in the summer. My three brothers had gone to the Bonnechere for a swim, and Audrey was visiting her friend Iva on the

next farm. There was nothing for me to do. I had dressed and undressed my dolls too often to count, and even Sport, our old Collie dog wasn’t interested in fetching a stick I threw out from my perch on the platform.

I thought of going into the house and telling Mother I was bored, and there was nothing to do. But I knew from past experiences what kind of a reply that would earn me.

“Well, get the ball of string out of the cupboard and knit a dishcloth.

That will keep you busy for a while.”

I hated knitting dishcloths with a passion. I hated knitting with a passion.

Once my sister started me on making a scarf. Bright red wool it was. It didn’t take long to see that something was drastically wrong, when what I had knitted was turning into a complete circle. Audrey admitted there was a good possibility I would never be a knitter. I heard her say “hopeless” under her breath. And making dishcloths out of a ball of string that had come in pieces from Briscoe’s General Store was low on my list of fun things to do.

was always able to manage to create what could pass for a dish rag, even though I hated every last stitch I made.

Beads of sweat were on my nose, and I looked over at the house with its blinds down, and the kitchen door tightly closed. I knew it would be cooler inside than where I was sitting. But what was I going to do when I went in? The house would be as dark as Mother could make it to keep out the summer heat, and I knew the Findlay Oval would be out. Mother had a talent for working when there was very little light.

require open windows.

I went to the swing in the grape arbour. It was cooler, but not much, and there sure wasn’t any fun in swinging by myself!

I even thought of phoning bad Marguirite to come over. I was desperate, I knew, but not that desperate.

And the minutes ticked by. As slow as molasses in January!

Well, there was nothing to do but head for the kitchen door. Maybe Mother would raise the blinds and I could look through the new Eaton’s catalogue that had arrived in the mail that week.

Or maybe draw with the bits and pieces of chalk mother kept in a Watkin’s Baking Powder tin on the floor in front of the back door that lead upstairs. It was a flat door, just a slab, really, and a perfect spot to draw or write with chalk. The rule was, as soon as we finished, it had to be washed off completely.

I opened the back door, and just as I thought, Mother was at the kitchen table, in the dim light, stringADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

ing beans. I shuffled in, letting out a big sigh, trying to gain sympathy from Mother, who could, as Audrey would say, “read any one of us like a book.”

“Nothing to do, eh?” I knew right away. I was caught.

Mother took her eyes off the beans long enough to nod her head towards the back-to-the wall cupboard. That’s all it took was one nod.

I let out a big sigh...in fact, I sighed all the way to the cupboard. I reached into the basket that always sat on the bottom shelf, and took out the ball of string and the knitting needles sticking out of it.

I got no sympathy from Mother as I headed for the kitchen door and the swing, with the string and the knitting needles. Never, ever in the 30s did you say you were bored and there was nothing to do if you were seven-years-old. In fact, all you had to do was look bored, and you knew what your fate was. Another string dishcloth would soon join the other pile in drawer in the back-to-the-wall cupboard.

Explore the Sundance Artisan Festival this weekend Arts – For years, Sundance Studio Tour has welcomed thousands of patrons throughout the Labour Day weekend. To facilitate growth, allowing more artists to participate, a move to the Fall River Restaurant’s river view location last year was a natural progression.

To reflect the expansions, the name has been changed to Sundance Artisan Festival. The festival is an evolution of creative, innovative and traditional artisans, local farm-to-plate cuisine and eclectic toe-tapping music.

Top left, diners at the first restaurant , Cafe Postino, enjoyed a first course of salads, breadsticks and wine.

Centre left, one of the salad options Postinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was a Caprese salad of tomatoes and cheese, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Bottom left, one of the main course options, which was served at the Almonte Riverside Kitchen, was a ceviche of scallops with tomatoes and an edible flower.

Tenant insurance advice for students moving away from home

this week in

perhaps purchasing a tenant’s policy.

As each insurance company packages tenant insurance policies differently or calls the products by different names, they all (should) include two kinds of coverage – basic liability coverage and contents coverage.

• You could be held responsible if your actions (e.g., leaving the bathtub running) caused damage to your apartment, your neighbours’ apartment(s) or the apartment building itself. Without insurance you would be personally liable for such costs.

• You may also be held responsible for personal liability, if someone is injured in your home – even if it is one that you’re renting. They could sue you for any costs associated with the injury.

• Landlords have relatively few le-

REAL ESTATE

gal obligations to compensate tenants for damage to, or loss of, their personal possessions. Tenants are responsible for the harm they may cause to any part of the building in which they live or to others who live or visit there.

• You should keep an up to date list of your belongings in case of theft, loss or damage. Have your child keep an accurate list of the belongings that he or she takes with them to school. This will make it easier to settle your insurance claim in the event of theft, fire or other risks.

• All college and university residences have their own requirements and recommendations for students living on campus, check with your school before you move in.

Your child will likely bring expensive personal items such as electronics, computers, stereo equipment and furniture with them to their new home.

Furthermore, they may be liable for any damage to the dwelling they are living in while away at school. Some home insurance policies provide coverage for personal property while away at school up to a certain limit, it’s best to check with your insurance representative on your coverage. Without the protection of home or tenant insurance you and your child are vulnerable to loss of damage to those possessions and other liability risks.

Here are a few insurance considerations when your child is moving away from home: • Notify your insurance representative to review available coverages and

Lifestyle – With a new school year and fall season fast approaching, many students will be leaving the family home for college or university and moving in to rental accommodation closer to their post-secondary school. If you’re one of them or a parent of one, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) wants you to know the importance of protecting your young student with property insurance.

“With all the stress that comes with having your child move away for school, the last thing you want to worry about is a financially stressful situation that could have been avoided,” says Ralph Palumbo, IBC’s vice president, Ontario region. “Tenant insurance can protect your child and provide piece of mind to make this transition to school a smooth one.”

Great laughs and heartfelt friendship completes final film of Cornetto trilogy

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It began with Shaun of the Dead, it continued in Hot Fuzz and now the Cornetto ice cream films are a trilogy with The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End. The best night of Gary Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Simon Pegg) life was the night he and his four best friends graduated school. Their goal was to complete The Golden Mile an epic pub crawl through twelve pubs starting at The First Post and ending at The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End. While they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish it that night has stood in Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind as perfect.

That was 20 odd years ago, and Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends have moved on to have careers and lives of their own.

Sadly however Gary has not. Gary is pathetically stuck in the past, and

he desperately wants to recapture the magic of that night. He wants to go back with his old friends and finish what they started.

For reasons only old friends would understand Andy Knightley (Nick Frost), Steven Prince (Paddy Considine), Oliver Chamberlain (Martin Freeman), and Peter Page (Eddie Marsan) allow Gary to talk them into this crazed reunion.

They begin the night with the bitter sweetness of old friend, and the tension of unresolved issues.

Fortunately for Gary he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to deal with it because they get attacked by alien robots.

Most of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents have been replaced with robot look-aR0012224644_0725

MOVIE: The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End STARRING: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman and Eddie Marsan DIRECTOR: Edgar Wright RATING: 14A

My Take MARK HASKINS

likes and Gary, Andy, Steven, Oliver and Peter have to figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening. They must fight for their lives, their town and even the Earth, but most importantly to Gary they must fight to complete The Golden Mile.

The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End begins as this funny yet sad comedy about old

friends. Then it moves into this outrageous action-comedy with some of the best bar fights Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen, and Edgar Wright does it so naturally you never think to question it.

Your laughing so hard you just get swept away.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touching, and above all else itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hysterically funny, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this thread of genuine and heartfelt friendship that runs through this absurd battle for survival that elevates The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End to the realm of genius.

I loved this cast and I loved these characters. Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Rosamund Pike, who plays Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister Sam, are fantastic. They

had the perfect mix of sensitivity, emotion, camaraderie and comic timing. They also had bar brawling skills that bordered on the obscene.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are the greatest comic duo of the last ten years. No one has the chemistry they do, are as funny as they are, or able to pull off the kind of outrageous films they do.

The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End may complete the Cornetto trilogy, but I hope it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean an end to their films.

Genius is sometimes a hard term to describe or define. I think The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End does a pretty good job of it.

Service dogs They are also working with branches of the Royal Canadian Legion, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organization, in an effort to raise the money needed to buy 50 service dogs to assist 50 veterans in need. Cousineau says Thai has played a huge role in helping improve his situation. He wants to offer the same benefit to as many others who are in his position as possible.

A former tactical co-ordinator on a Sea King helicopter, Cousineau has struggled ever since he participated in the dramatic rescue of two injured American fishermen off the coast of

Newfoundland in 1986.

He says his life changed for the better when he received his service dog nearly two years ago. Cousineau has lost weight, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reduced his medication and he says he now deals better with stress and anger.

The ex-soldier has an ambitious goal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to raise some $350,000. During his September visit to our region he hopes the generosity of residents will help him realize his financial objective.

Details of the activities surrounding Cousineauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local walks will appear in this newspaper closer to the dates involved. He will be in Kemptville Sept. 14, Smiths Falls Sept. 15,

Perth on Sept. 16 and Carleton Place Sept. 17.

Brian Comeau, first vice-president of Carleton Place Legion Branch 192, urges people to come out and participate in the local walks Cousineau and Thai will lead. In Carleton Place, for example, he will complete a morning walk of 20 kilometres on Tuesday, Sept. 17. In the afternoon Cousineau will speak to students at Carleton Place High School. The same evening a social event is planned at Branch 192. Similar activities are anticipated in all of the communities where the walk-a-thon is scheduled to touch down!

illnesses such as depression and general anxiety.

As officialdom struggles to come to grips with the depth of the problem and the potential consequences for taxpayers, some veterans are starting their own campaigns to both raise awareness about PTSD and raise the funds necessary to assist victims. One such effort will arrive, by foot, in our area next month including stops in Kemptville, Smiths Falls, Perth and Carleton Place. More on that later!

In May, I came across a newspaper article which outlined how some Canadian veterans of the war in Afghanistan took their own proactive approach in the battle against PTSD. A group of them came together to make a pilgrimage to the scene of what is still called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming of ageâ&#x20AC;?, the WW I battle of Vimy Ridge.

The Canadian soldiers, all of whom are struggling with the effects of posttraumatic stress, visited the gigantic and impressive Canadian National Vimy Memorial. They hoped the carnage from one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most horrific battles could assist them as they try to come to grips with the horrors they experienced in Afghanistan.

It was an emotional experience for each of them, according to news accounts. And I can totally understand that. Because in 1995 my wife and I accompanied a group of Eastern Ontario WW II vets and their wives to the Vimy Memorial, which tops the ridge by the same name. Vimy Ridge rises high above the Douai Plain in northwest France.

It was easily one of the most meaningful experiences of my life! And I am not a veteran. Little wonder this yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience at Vimy was so emotional for the veterans involved.

I will however, correct one error that appeared in the newspaper story about that event. The article said the Vimy memorial has the names of the nearly 3,598 Canadians who died in the April 9, 1917 Battle of Vimy Ridge carved into its limestone base.

In fact the Canadian National Vimy Memorial was erected in memory of the 11,285 Canadians who were killed in France during WW I and whose final resting place is unknown. It is their names that are etched on the base of the Vimy Memorial.

In total more than 66,000 Canadians died during the First World War. The Afghan vets involved in the May pilgrimage to Vimy say the visit helped them make sense of their own war experiences. One army captain told the Canadian Press the fact the majority of Vimy veterans resumed their lives, while no doubt suffering the emotional after effects of the battle, leaves him with renewed hope for his own future.

The spring visit took place with support from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wounded Warriors Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; an organization dedicated to raising awareness of mental health issues in the military. Meanwhile individual sufferers are also playing a part in the process.

In mid-September a veteran, who says he has lived with PTSD for more than 25 years, will complete a walka-thon from his home in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia to Ottawa, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital.

Medric Cousineau is being accompanied by his PTSD service dog Thai.

They are currently walking the equivalent of about a half-marathon each day as they aim to raise awareness

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The impact of war on soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental health has been a well-recognized but controversial subject for hundreds of years.

Seventy years ago this month, during World War II, famed United States General George S. Patton was temporarily relieved of command after slapping not one, but two, hospitalized soldiers in separate incidents during the Sicilian campaign. Both men were psychological casualties although the first man, who Patton called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a cowardâ&#x20AC;? and ordered out of the infirmary, was not only traumatized but extremely ill. It was later learned the teenage private had malaria and was suffering from a high fever when Patton encountered him during a visit to a military hospital on the Mediterranean island.

Although the public backlash nearly ended Pattonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career, it is doubtful the gung-ho general ever understood how seriously the horrors of war can affect soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental health. And yet based on my research, during the Second World War for every battle casualty there were four psychological casualties.

Incidents of what is now called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Post Traumatic Stress Disorderâ&#x20AC;?

(PTSD) have been documented throughout history from ancient Greece to present. During the American Civil War it was called â&#x20AC;&#x153;soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartâ&#x20AC;?. During the First World War it was known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;shell shock.â&#x20AC;? During WW II, despite Pattonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious and dramatic skepticism, it was labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;war neurosis.â&#x20AC;?

In the 1960s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s, during the Vietnam War, the terminology evolved to what was then described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;combat stress reaction.â&#x20AC;?

Now more and more western soldiers, including Canadians, are coming forward to make claims for psychiatric disabilities, most notably PTSD. Not surprisingly governments, including Canadian administrations, have been decidedly cautious in approaching this subject. Understandably perhaps, they fear the financial consequences of applications for compensation filed by current and former military personnel who claim to be suffering from PTSD. The issue is certainly recognized by the Canadian Armed Forces. In 2002, the National Defence and Canadian Forces Ombudsman released a damning report which said our military was failing its sick soldiers. He made a number of recommendations which, in varying degrees, have since been acted upon.

As recently as 2012, with Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combat role in the war in Afghanistan winding down, there were calls for the armed forces to institute a â&#x20AC;&#x153;more responsible treatment programâ&#x20AC;? for Afghan veterans suffering PTSD. According to a 2011 Parliamentary report on PTSD and mental health in the Canadian Forces it was noted that between 25,000 and 35,000 armed forces members were expected to be discharged over the next five years (the period ends in 2016). Of that number it was estimated 2,750 will suffer from a severe form of PTSD.

From Winnipeg to Windsor in a 1938 Ford convertible Lifestyle – In the summer of 1958, when I was 16, my older brother John and I acquired a 1940 Buick Super coupe in our hometown of Leamington, Ontario. I spent my spare time that summer driving around Essex County in search of other old cars.

One day, I saw a lavender-coloured (light purple) 1938 Ford convertible with rumble seat on a street in Windsor. I saw it again a few weeks later at Bob Gault’s FINA gas station in nearby Harrow. I never saw the car again until 55 years later, when the two photos you see here turned up, thanks to Bob Taylor of Kingsville, Ontario.

I met Bob recently at the Leamington Chrysler dealership when our family car was in for servicing. He had owned a customized 1952 Plymouth convertible in Windsor in the late ‘50s and he said it had been a big hit at the Hi-Ho drive-in restaurant. When he mentioned the Hi-Ho, I immediately remembered the ’38 Ford ragtop I had seen over 50 years ago. With its nonoriginal paint job, it was the type of car that would show up at a drive-in restaurant and so I asked Bob if he remembered seeing it.

Imagine my surprise when he told me the car was owned by his brother-inlaw, Chris Smith, and Bob remembers riding in the rumble seat! Chris owned

the car while stationed at an RCAF base in Winnipeg in 1956 and brought it with him when he moved to Windsor. I asked Bob if he had any photos.

His sister Pat turned the house upsidedown and finally found the two you see here inside a Jaguar photo album!

If this convertible was built in Canada, it had a Windsor factory price of $950 and Toronto-delivered for $1039 (license included). The engine was a flathead V8 with 221 cubic inches with 85 horsepower and a three-speed floor shift transmission.

But the story doesn’t end here. Was it bought new in Manitoba? Who painted it lavender and when? Does anyone out there or down here have more photos of it? And – most exciting of all – is the car still around? Stay tuned.

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Vehicle vets and shop operators pass along tips to understand your ride Lifestyle - Other than reader letters and emails, I often find sources for topics for this column from dealership service departments and local repair shops.

These vehicle vets and shop operators often want to pass along tips to improve customer understanding of a variety of issues which they hope lead to happier and more loyal clients. Here’s a few that have landed on my notepad recently.

1) Keep records. It’s no secret that a certain percentage of vehicle owners have routine maintenance done at a private or regional/national chain store rather than return to their OEM (original equipment manufacturer) dealership. But when it comes to having OEM warranty repairs done, only an authorized dealership can do the work.

When it comes to any failure of internal engine or other fluid lubricated components on an older vehicle with high mileage, you can expect that you may have to produce copies of oil change and maintenance receipts. Fortunately just about every size and type of service centre uses some type of invoicing software that should let them reprint any missing invoice, but if all you ever get is a handwritten bill as a receipt, don’t count on it.

2) Why isn’t that covered?

Manufacturer warranties only

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

cover defects in original workmanship and materials, not damage caused by outside sources/ forces. The one that always takes car owners for surprise is when a rodent or some other type of critter gets in or under a vehicle and chews through wiring, or hoses, or if a piece of road debris is kicked up by a wheel and impacts some under-carriage component.

If a dealership is completing this inspection, they should prepare an estimate for your review as soon as their tech reports that he or she is not dealing with a warrantable situation.

3) Why isn’t that covered II? When a repair is covered under an OEM warranty, everything (parts, labour, fluids, and taxes) should be covered. About the only exceptions are towing invoice limitations (if required) and fluids that would normally been required due to maintenance schedules (e.g. replacing three month old engine oil after repairing an engine oil leak). Diagnostic time is always covered by the carmaker for a warrantable repair.

4) A unique story cropped up in Toronto recently that pointed out some unclear policies by insurance companies. A vehicle that was involved in a collision ended up in storage at a local body-shop. A disagreement developed between the shop and the insurance company over the daily storage fee. The shop wanted $100 per day and the insurance company would only pay $60 per day. The insured in question, no longer owned the vehicle (it was apparently written off in the collision), but was named as plaintiff in a law-suit the insurance company initiated against the shop over the storage fees. The insurance company is firm that their actions are allowed under the driver’s policy but will remove the driver’s name from the suit if asked. The point of the story here is to exercise your right to have your vehicle taken to the shop or storage facility of your choice in the event of a collision. If you don’t have a preference or knowledge of which shop to choose, check with your selling dealer, if they don’t have their own shop, they will always have a recommendation and often they put that information in your glove box with the owner’s documents.

From Saturday, Aug. 31 through Sept. 1, the Car & Truck Shows return to the Perth Fair.

There are many new organizers this year, so look for a change-up in format. Cars on Saturday, Aug. 31 and trucks on Sunday, Sept. 1.

by philanthropic organizations and sent to Canada in hopes of securing a better future for them.

After traveling to Canada by ship and spending time at one of the many receiving homes located in this country, the British Home Child would often travel to their new ‘home’ via train.

There is little doubt that many of these littlest of immigrants would have been found waiting in or near a building such as the Aultsville train station for pickup by their new ‘family’.

It is for this reason that the Ontario East British Home Child Family, which seeks to preserve

and promote the story of the British Home Child, approached Upper Canada Village to seek permission to house a collection of memorabilia and information on British Home Children in Canada at the Aultsville station.

The Aultsville station will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays from Aug. 31 to Sept. 28.

For further information on the exhibit, the organization or plans for the second anniversary, British Home Child Day in Ontario event to be held on Sept. 28 at Upper Canada Village, please contact Glenna Walkden at 613543-0421.

Lifestyle – Ontario East British Home Child Family (ODBHCF), in partnership with Upper Canada Village, is pleased to announce that the Aultsville train station will house a British Home Child exhibit on weekends from Aug. 31 to Sept. 28.

Between the 1860s and the 1930s, more than 100,000 impoverished children from the British Isles were sent to Canada, many here in the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville region, to work as indentured servants in the homes of farms of this country. These children, ranging in age from infancy to 16 years, were removed from their homes

going strong after 10 years

Downtown Balderson probably has fewer residents than the posted speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour, but it does have Ema Lee Fashions, the largest ladies clothing store in the Ottawa Valley.

When Emily Desjardine and Gerry McSweeney bought the old general store in Balderson, situated seven kilometres north of Perth in 2002, there was quite a buzz going around. They were called crazy, told to bulldoze it down and that their business would never succeed. With one year of hard work and persistence, the renovations were complete and their business began.

Ten years later Ema Lee Fashions, which is open seven days a week, is still going strong.

Well known for its vast selection of ladies apparel, purses, bathing suits and men’s shirts, the demographic area of returning customers and new visitors keeps growing larger and larger.

“We have customers from Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto, just to name a

THE EMC - 30 - Thursday, August 29, 2013

few, but I find it absolutely amazing to think that from this little hamlet, our clothes have travelled all around the world,” Desjardine said.

“But our success could not be possible without our dedicated staff and the support from the surrounding areas,” she continued. “It’s nice to hear customers tell us that while visiting Perth, the ladies from the Chamber of Commerce sent them our way.”

In 2007, Ema Lee Fashions was named as ‘The best in Canada’ for destination shopping. Customers sum it up by commenting, “If you can’t find anything here, you’re not shopping,” and

“What a hidden treasure.”

Another French visitor said “Ca vaut le detour,” (It’s worth the detour.)

While visiting Ema Lee Fashions, you can also enjoy breakfast or lunch at the quaint Balderson Café, buy local produce and all-natural ice cream at Balderson Fine Foods or treat yourself to some homemade pies, bread and lemon squares from Anne & Vanessa’s Bake Shop. All of the stores are adjacent to each other.

Across the road, you will find Balderson Village Cheese, The Amish Store and Cora’s Gift Shop.

There’s plenty to discover in Downtown Balderson!

OPP veteran of Caledonia dispute to temporarily lead county detachment

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Acting Inspector Stephanie Patterson has learned a lot that she never hopes she needs to use in her new role.

Patterson took over as the acting detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP on Aug. 12, following the announcement of the retirement of outgoing Insp. Gerry Salisbury. But after her time dealing with the tense standoff between First Nations people and developers in Caledonia, she is looking forward to a quieter posting.

Several years ago, a tense land dispute erupted between the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation and developers of suburban housing in southern Ontario. As part of the OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial liaison team, born out of the Ipperwash Inquiry, Patterson worked with the First Nationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; people, â&#x20AC;&#x153;building bridges with them,â&#x20AC;? she said during an interview in her new office at the Perth headquarters of the OPP on Wednesday, Aug. 21.

Overall, the tense situation â&#x20AC;&#x153;was challenging, absolutely. There was a lot of dialogue that had to go on. My role was explaining what the OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role was there.â&#x20AC;?

Patterson was quick to point out that she was not alone in Caledonia, and was backed up by â&#x20AC;&#x153;hundreds and hundreds of officers there.â&#x20AC;?

What made her job difficult, in an already tense situation, was the expectation by some that the OPP could simply roll in and solve the problems, to their sideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satisfaction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really the OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role to work out he differences in land disputes,â&#x20AC;? said Patterson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were there to make sure that while the government is sorting it out that people stay safeâ&#x20AC;ŚNobody has been killed there, thank God, but there has been a lot of heartache for people.â&#x20AC;?

She had had a type of foreshadowing of this dispute during her first posting near the Akwesasne Mohawk First Nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember hearing the stories from Akwesasne when I was a rookie,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Looking back on Caledonia, it is not the flashpoints she remembers, but the people.

On the job

Acting Inspector Stephanie Patterson, interim detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, stands beside a map in her new Perth office showing most of her new police coverage area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You come away with a lot deeper appreciation of the issues and what people face in those situations,â&#x20AC;? she said. She found that both non-native Caledonia residents and First Nations members she spoke to were â&#x20AC;&#x153;good people who cared about their communities,â&#x20AC;? but their actions often did not make the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The attention wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be drawn to people trying to work behind the scenes to make peace,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Patterson was born in Winchester, and was raised in Metcalfe, where she still lives. She attended Osgoode Township High School before heading out to take English Literature at the University of Western Ontario in London. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always had an inkling about policing,â&#x20AC;? said Patterson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always know what you want to do when you get

an arts degree.â&#x20AC;?

However, she has made her readings of Jane Austen and essay writing work for her in her job as the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interim top cop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has helped me with any oral and written communication skills,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably a bit more flamboyant in university with writingâ&#x20AC;Ś(but in court itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) just the facts. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the judge wants to hear.â&#x20AC;?

After graduation, she sold insurance, and later helped manage a retirement fund, but, by that time, the call of the police siren had grown too loud, and she was already in the process of applying to the OPP. She was accepted and spent her first 16 weeks at the Ontario Police College in Aylmer. After she graduated, she was assigned to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;coach of-

ficer,â&#x20AC;? a mentor of sorts, in Long Sault, near Cornwall. She had a homecoming of sorts when she was posted to Winchester, before being moved to the provincial communications centre in Smiths Falls.

After her stint there, she began her time with the liaison team in Caledonia, followed by a posting to Napanee and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, during the Robertsville Mine protests.

She returned to eastern Ontario as a detachment commander in Napanee, essentially the detachment commanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second in command. She then transferred to the same position back in Long Sault in the United Counties of Stormont, Glengarry, and Dundas. Her final move has been to the East Region headquarters outside of Smiths Falls,

where she will return once Salisburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement has been found. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They gave me this opportunity and I have gladly accepted,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The deadline for applications for Salisburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full-time position have already been closed, and now OPP brass are sifting through the applications, though no date has been set for interviews.

With her calm, focused demeanor, and steady but polite gaze, Patterson said she is not intent on making waves, or bringing in major changes, during her time in Salisburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old chair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to keep things moving along as it has been, making this transition as smooth as possible,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Already, after so long seeing Salisbury at the head of the local police hierarchy, with a new commander on the horizon, possibly as soon as November, big changes â&#x20AC;&#x153;may happen with the new personâ&#x20AC;Śeverybody had a different leadership style.â&#x20AC;? To enact any major changes now, â&#x20AC;&#x153;would not be fair to the members. Consistency is part of what makes things run smoothly.â&#x20AC;?

Also, she and her officers are too busy with the end of summer rush to try to deal with any new changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It is) a busy time in the policing world, and resources are stretched with people on vacation,â&#x20AC;? she said. The population of the county increases as cottagers head to their second home, boaters hit the lakes and rivers, and both clog up the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expect that the long weekend will be busy,â&#x20AC;? she said of the Labour Day holiday.

She has not been out on patrol yet with her officers, but has attended police services board meetings in Perth and Tay Valley Township.

On the personal side of things, at the end of her hour-long commute each day, she has a husband, a lineman for Hydro Ottawa, and two sons, one entering Grade 8, the other entering Grade 11.

She enjoys golfing in the summer, curling in the winter, and best of all, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love going to the rink to watch my boys play hockey,â&#x20AC;? she said with pride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband is a good guy,â&#x20AC;? she adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the main taxi!â&#x20AC;? what with the unpredictable hours of police work.

citement in the community and last week we signed up 30 people at the first membership drive,â&#x20AC;? said Rensby.

The next membership drive will be at the Good Life Bistro on Saturday, Aug. 31 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. In the meantime, the pool schedule and membership fee structure are up on the HUBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website (www.thehubrecreation. com) for anyone to check.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoped that memberships will provide most of the revenue required to run and maintain the pool at an estimated cost of $350,000 a year. Meanwhile the

board is exploring other sources of funding as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking for ongoing municipal support, and hope that the municipalities will see value in the project,â&#x20AC;? said Rodine.

They will not be relying solely on Smiths Falls and are currently soliciting help from surrounding municipalities whose residents are welcome and expected to use the new facility. The board will also be looking at sponsorship for additional revenue. Right now the lineup of activities available at the HUB pool includes aqua fit programs, swimming lessons, public swims and physiotherapeutic swims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chair lift will

be operational so the pool is fully accessible,â&#x20AC;? explained Rodine.

Lifeguard and instructor jobs are posted on the website, but volunteers will still continue their involvement even after the pool opens.

Phase two is still in the works, and having delivered the pool, the HUB will shift its focus to work on the fitness centre, complete with fitness-oriented child minding, educational workshops, fitness equipment and day camps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you think of the traditional YMCA model, its success is in its multi-purpose appeal and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we want to offer here,â&#x20AC;?

Rodine said.

Positive changes unfolding at the Empress and Sussex neighbourhood

shoot of the steering committee that’s largely run by the tenants responsible for organizing activities for youth.

“They’ve been hosting themed teen dances over the summer and organized a car wash to raise money for future events,” said Schilling.

The LCHC’s relatively newly adopted trend of service integration has also gone a long way to changing the dynamics of the neighbourhood.

“An arrangement was struck for Connections to rent a unit right in the neighbourhood from the LCHC, with enough room for other community partners to run their programs as well,” said Schilling. The previous Connections location was neither central nor big enough to accomplish the same goals.

Dubbed Rainbow House, the community house is located right on Empress Street. From this location, LCHC’s community partners like Rideau Valley Medical Centre, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, Connections and the Town of Smiths Falls can provide programs

such as literacy programs, a library, a good food program and the breakfast program.

“The town is also donating some computers to Rainbow House so that families can have Internet access close by,” said Allen.

That proximity to services has been key in changing attitudes and engaging tenants.

“One of the biggest issues in any neigbourhood is transportation,” explained Murphy, “so having necessary services offered within easy reach makes a very big difference.”

There’s still work to be done according to Whalen, but things are getting better.

OPP urge caution as school buses return News – Once again it is time for students to head back to school and for motorists to be on the lookout for school buses and students. The OPP in East Region would like to remind everyone that some school buses will be back in service early next week, while others will be back on Tuesday, Sept. 3.

The public is reminded that every driver while on a highway while meeting a stopped school bus that has its overhead

red signal-lights flashing shall stop before reaching the bus and shall not proceed until the bus moves or the overhead red signal-lights have stopped flashing. (Section 175(11) of the Highway Traffic Act) Many of our children walk to school and motorists should also be aware of the increased pedestrian traffic as children make their way for their first exciting day.

Reduce your speed in school zones and be extra cautious.

Community - Quite a lot has happened at the Empress and Sussex neighbourhood of Smiths Falls over the past year.

To celebrate, the community held its first end of summer barbecue on Aug. 28 – not just for the Empress and Sussex community but including Lanark Community Housing Corporations (LCHC) families in Smiths Falls.

The changes started to come together when the previous LCHC director Christine Colham realized that some of the issues that plagued housing corporation tenants could be addressed by creating a tenant improvement committee, with the notion that giving tenants a say and a stake would foster positive engagement.

“One of the first thing they wanted to do was to improve lighting in the neighbourhood,” said Town of Smiths Falls Coun. Lorraine Allen who sits on the LCHC board. “They also told us they wanted the town to see their neighbourhood in a more positive light.”

The lighting issue was addressed through the addition of new lighting poles in strategic areas.

“There’s about five or six new poles now around Sussex and Empress,” said Cheryl Whalen, LCHC tenant and active member of the tenant’s improvement committee.

The LCHC replaced some aging poles and added multiple LED lights on some of them to expand the lit areas according to Beth Schilling, tenant and community engagement worker with LCHC. The committee then decided to tackle Highland Park, which had been neglected for many years. Getting together a work crew, the community cleaned it up – taking out the excess brush and helping spread new soil and gravel, while Whalen fills the children’s wading pool every morning in favorable weather.

“There is definitely a more positive attitude in that neighbourhood,” said Constable David Murphy, community service officer with the Smiths Falls Police Service.

There’s even a social committee as an off-

Funding requests pour in and town bridges in urgent need of repair

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

News - There were two delegations at the Committee of the Whole meeting held on Monday August 26. Both delegations were looking for funding.

Meanwhile the mandatory bi-annual bridge inspection has been completed and there’s work to be done.

Transportation Funding Assistance Dignity House Hospice, a free day and residential hospice out of Perth is running into unexpected costs.

“When we first started the hospice, we planned to only provide transportation when necessary and rarely,” said Doug Burt, president Dignity House Hospice.

As it happens however, the hospice is now proving transportation on a weekly basis at a cost of $150 per week, in addi-

tion to wheel chair transportation which is doubling their costs. While the Hospice is willing to use some of its fundraising dollars for transportation, they know they can’t realistically use all of it on the one service and still offer other much needed services.

Currently the Hospice has five Smiths Falls residence who need the regular transportation due to debilitating illness.

“We are suggesting splitting the cost with the town, I would like to suggest half of 31,000 for this year,” said Burt.

Council while receptive to the need said the issue would need to be discussed before a decision could be reached.

“You do great work, and it’s a much needed service,” said Coun. Ken Graham Public Docks at Rideau Ferry

Aubrey Churchill, Reeve of Drummond/North Elmsley (DNE), and Scott Cameron, DNE, public works manager made a presentation to council regarding the new public docks that are already under construction at Rideau Ferry.

While most of the expenses have been covered through fundraising, grants and DNE town funding, the final details - a tourism kiosk and public washrooms - are not yet covered.

The docks at Rideau Ferry will no doubt be used by both Smiths Falls

and Rideau Lakes residents, at the same time Smiths Falls festivals, attractions and businesses will be able to display their flyers and print material at the kiosks.

“What we are looking for is a $5,000 donation from the town of Smiths Falls towards the Kiosks and public washrooms,” said Reeve Churchill, “in return we’ll put up a plaque to acknowledge each municipality’s donation.

Town Bridges The Beckwith Street stone arch

bridge is in urgent need of repair. In this instance ‘urgent’ means within the next 12 months. The town has just had its bi-annual bridge inspection completed

by Greer Galloway Group Inc, and the Beckwith Bridge is not the only one that needs work. The Central pedestrian bridge has also been flagged for considerable repair as well.

“I do feel that something needs to be done this fall,” said Vanessa Bernicky, engineering.

The cost of the repair is estimated at $120,000 for the Beckwith Bridge.

i k d wastes away, iit iis replaced l d bby ffatty and d tissue weakens and connective tissue.

Each form of muscular dystrophy is caused by an error in a specific gene associated with muscle function; however, specific disorders within this group vary in many ways. The muscles involved are different from one disorder to another.

The severity of the symptoms, the age at which the symptoms appear, how fast the symptoms progress, and what pattern of inheritance the disorder follows, are all factors which differ among the various forms of muscular dystrophy.

Even within a specific disorder, several individuals with the same disorder may experience the disorder and its symptoms quite differently.

Muscular dystrophies are genetic disorders. Forms of muscular dystrophy can be passed on from generation to generation, or they can occur spontaneously in a single individual as the result of a mutation of a particular gene.

Contrary to popular belief, muscular dystrophy is not exclusively a childhood disorder - anyone can be affected.

While some types of muscular dystrophy are first evident in infancy or early childhood, other types may not appear until

l later iin lif life.

Over time, persons with neuromuscular disorders may lose the ability to walk, speak, and ultimately breathe. For some individuals, the disorder is fatal. There is currently no cure.

Home in a Suitcase exhibit is extended until August 31

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community – If anyone hasn’t seen the Home in a Suitcase exhibit at Heritage House yet, it’s not too late; the exhibit has been extended until Aug. 31.

“The Home in a Suitcase exhibit provides an opportunity to get a glimpse of how newcomers come to this country leaving much behind,” said Coun. Ken Graham, co-chair of the Smiths Falls Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) Council.

Personal reflection Home in a Suitcase showcases the personal cultural heritage of newcomers who have chosen the Smiths Falls area as their home. The suitcases include keepsakes from the four home countries of participating newcomers – Klaas and Jackie van der Veen-Oving of the Netherlands; Citrine Huang, her husband Edward Wang and son Jerry who immigrated to Canada last year from China; Paola Kryvenchuk whose home country is Guatemala; and Ram Mogandas and his wife Vani Maganth who are from Sri Lanka.

The van der VeenOving family created a

Dutch corner complete with blue and white Delft china artifacts, a pair of wooden clogs, a representation of good Dutch cheese, and a styrofoam cake decorated with the colours of the Dutch flag, tulips, windmills, and the Royal Dutch color – orange.

“All the things we didn’t pay attention to when we were living in the Netherlands and even Germany,” chuckles Jackie, “although the one thing we miss is the cheese.

That, and our bike paths.”

Before they came to Canada, the Dutch couple had been living in Germany and the one thing they were not prepared for was the length of Canadian roads and the extremely low speed limits.

“There are no speed limits in Germany,” explained Klaas, who says the last time he was in Germany and rented a car, there was sticker on the dashboard asking drivers to please not exceed 210km/hr.

“It’s also way more relaxed here,” said Jackie, “not as busy or crowded.”

The couple lives between Smiths Falls and Perth, and Klaas works in electrical engineering with an American firm that transferred him to

Canada.

They haven’t really experienced a huge shift in lifestyle, just a change in terrain, weather and population density.

They’re enjoying the wildlife and bird population and have noted the endless winter and the amount of space they have here.

“The wildlife here I only knew from the zoo – even raccoons, skunk and deer and we don’t have chipmunks or coyotes or bear,” said Jackie, “and the birds some of them are new (to us) like Cardinals and Blue Jays.”

For Klaas, he has definitely noticed the amount of snowplowing he has had to do here compared to home and says it used to take him ten minutes to mow the lawn back home compared to an hour here.

On the whole though, it’s been a relatively easy transition for the van der Veen-Ovings, who already spoke English when they arrived.

“If you move around the world, you have to be flexible, you have to adapt,” said Klaas.

The exhibit is a collaborative effort of the museum and the Smiths Falls LIP, which is funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

TAKE NOTICE: No other planning applications have been filed for the property and there are no previous applications open.

ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO - AUG. 28, 1913

The postponed box social at Willoughby’s school in Montague on Tuesday evening was a great success.

The evening was a little cool but it was dry and there was a good attendance from the surrounding neighborhood. A large dancing platform was erected and Messrs John Kinsella. W. Prescott, and L. Prescott furnished the music for the dancing. The boxes were sold at eleven o’clock and afterwards supper was served. It was a very pleasant social evening and the net receipts were over thirty dollars.

50 YEARS AGO - AUG. 29, 1963 With only 27 days left until the provincial elections, so far only one candidate declared himself. George E. Gomme, incumbent MLA for Lanark, was again named the standard-bearer for the Progressive Conservatives during yesterday afternoon’s convention in Carleton Place.

Stewart R. Lloyd, 26 of Alfred Street, received cuts to his head on Saturday evening when his car went out of control on Beckwith Street north and struck a tree.

Damage to his 1959 model car was estimated at $350.

25 YEARS AGO - AUG. 27, 1988 Hartwell noted the removal of the ‘No Left Turn’ sign on McEwen Avenue off Cornelia Street is only temporary. It will be returned once the construction project in that area is complete. He noted the sign was removed on the recommendation of police chief Larry Hardy to facilitate the flow of traffic during the construction period.

Hartwell also announced that repairs to the Confederation Drive bridge will begin today (Wednesday) and take approximately two to three weeks to complete. Replacing the asphalt, repairing the pedestrian walkway and painting the trusses are on the ‘to do’ list, he said.

Motorists can expect the narrow bridge to be closed for a couple of days during construction.

As expected, the town will co-ordinate the Wal-Mart development with regard to site plan requirements and act as agent on behalf of the Township of Rideau Lakes. Smiths Falls corporate services director Wayne Brown said a meeting with township officials on Friday morning helped to spell out ‘who would do what’ with regard to the massive project. Work crews have been on site off Lombard Street the past 10 days clearing the property of trees and brush.

Developer Roy Alexander approached council with a preliminary proposal that could lead to the construction of “upscale” condominiums along the waterfront on a vacant piece of property next to the Comfort Inn sometime in the future.

Alexander told councillors he was looking for feedback, positive or negative, regarding the project’s possibility, adding he’s putting out feelers in the community and has been getting “a lot of positives about it.”

Councillor Bill Buffam said it would be good to have that area of the waterfront, long regarded as an eyesore in Smiths Falls, upgraded.

Alexander’s property, which includes the former Canadian Tire building, would see the vacant land severed and rezoned, should it be decided to move the project forward.

A proposal by the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears to extend the team’s change room and improve the showers has received the green light from council.

Remember When This week’s look back in time shows the first motorized bus in Smiths Falls (about 1910) brought in from the United States by Clark and Arthur Martin, who conducted a service between the stations and the hotels.

Back to school turns into empty nest syndrome Opinion – The final rush is on, as parents scramble to get Susan and Johnny ready for school. For most of us it’s a funny mix of stress and celebration. Stress over what they need to have for school and the expenses we planned for, that still manage to exceed projections. Relief that they’ll be out of the house, and hopefully we won’t have to hear the dreaded phrase “I’m bored”, 80 times a day for a while.

But parents take warning these satisfyingly stressful days are numbered and they’re followed by – empty nest syndrome.

Yes, my baby is leaving. He’s moving to Ottawa. He might as well be moving to Australia (from my present perspective).

Again it’s a really weird mix of emotions. I’m proud that he’s going to college and I’m glad he’s spreading his wings – and I hate that he’s leaving.

I never thought that ‘empty nest syndrome’ would actually affect me; honestly I thought it was just a matter of preparation, though I never dared say that to any of my friends who preceded me on that journey!

I did prepare. I researched the topic. I even copied a paragraph from the Mayo Clinic’s website on how to prevent empty nest syndrome and kept it on my desk.

HOWAIDA SOROUR Heddy’s Ramble “If your last child is about to leave home and you’re worried about empty nest syndrome, plan ahead. Look for new opportunities in your personal and professional life.

Keeping busy or taking on new challenges at work or at home can help ease the sense of loss that your child’s departure might cause.”

I took that advice to heart. I took up a new job. I took up a new hobby – studying and practicing Aikido, a martial art that pretty much demands every aspect of body, mind and spirit. I took up a new cause, and started cycling to raise money for cancer every year. I started a new relationship with a very interesting and challenging man. I started entertaining more often – challenging my culinary skills.

I have prepared.

I have been ramping my involvement in

my hobbies in proportion to the diminishing amount of time my son wanted to spend with me. At this point, our together time has now more or less petered out to passing each other at the door, and I’m usually quite happy to spend any alone time pursuing either martial arts, cycling, writing or new friendships…always safe in the knowledge that he’ll be home tonight or tomorrow.

And there’s the crux right there. Starting next week, he won’t be home tonight or tomorrow – likely won’t remember to call.

He’s heading out to discover the world – and for him like so many kids leaving a small town, there is so much to discover.

I hope, but don’t fully trust that I and those around him have given him the tools he needs to land safely on his feet, but….

Even as I write, there is a huge lump in my throat and I’m actually struggling to find words that describe this immense sense of loss, sadness and anxiety.

I got home last night after a Committee of the Whole meeting to find my daughter, my son, his girlfriend and his best friend at our home, along with a totally disproportionate mess in my kitchen and living room. I was delighted.

Am I losing my mind?

Trainfest rolls along smoothly The Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario held their 4th annual Trainfest this past weekend, Aug. 24 and 25. The great weather, interesting and fun attractions made the weekend event a hit with visitors. There were model railway vendors, horse drawn wagon tours, food

vendors and music. Visitors especially enjoyed being able to walk through old trains and locomotives. A special feature of this year’s Trainfest was the Jiggers for Jugs event, which pitted teams of five people driving a handcar in a timed competition. All of the proceeds of he event are headed to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. In this photo, front row, left to right are: Jenner and Ryan Bodnoff and in the back row: Pip Matharu and Mike Lasorda. On the ground left helping with a push to the handcar is Satinder Matharu.

Bottom left: James Clark from the Bytown Railway Society helped to explained to visitors how the Canadian Northern Steam Locomotive No. 1112 worked. James Clark sits behind the engines controls.

Above: Lyle Dillabough also known as the Ottawa Valley Troubadour was on hand at Trainfest. In this photo he gets a little help from Patrick Ten-Den

Algae and aquatic plants play an important ecological role in lakes and rivers and they should be present. They are the first, vital links in a natural food chain that all other water creatures rely on including insects, frogs, minnows, small fish right up to top predators like bass, muskie and lake trout. Under normal circumstances, they also produce large amounts of oxygen helping to keep the water quality in a healthy state. So they are very important, but too much of a good thing can be very bad!

During warm weather, populations of algae and aquatic vegetation can grow quickly to form large masses. As the mass grows and expands, algae and plants at the lower

OPP ramping up for last summer long weekend of year News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With the last of the summer long weekends only days away, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is giving advance notice that they will be honing in on distracted drivers as part of the heightened enforcement they have planned over this Labour Day weekend.

With kids heading back to school next week, distracted driving is of particular concern to the OPP as distraction-related collision fatalities in OPP jurisdiction continue to surpass impaired drivingrelated deaths this year.

According to the OPP, everyone travelling on roads and highways should be equally concerned about this alarming trend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people would not get into a vehicle with an impaired driver and they are at as much risk in the presence of a distracted driver as an impaired driver,â&#x20AC;? says Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If drivers do not have the good sense to stop this dangerous behaviour on their own, I encourage passengers to take responsibility for their own safety by speaking up. If you are a passenger in a vehicle and the driver is not completely focused on driving, is talking on a

cell phone or even worse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; texting, remind them that they are endangering your life and that you want them to stop.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far this year, 47 of the 177 people killed in motor vehicle collisions in OPP jurisdiction involved distracted driving, compared to 32 impaired driving-related collision deaths,â&#x20AC;? said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Commander of Traffic Safety and Operational Support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our statistics make it clear beyond a doubt that road users need to pay greater attention to this problem and get on board with our efforts to stop it rather than wait for a devastating tragedy to occur.â&#x20AC;?

Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviour, impaired driving and seat belt compliance will also be on the OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radar over the long weekend.

Boaters and off-road vehicle (ORV) users should also be prepared to see a strong OPP presence on waterways and trails, with ORV fatalities up 80 per cent and marine fatalities up more than 15 per cent this year.

levels die off and decompose over large areas. This process uses up much of the oxygen in the water and degrades the entire

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) wants to know if you are seeing more algae blooms and aquatic plants in our local lakes and rivers. In response to what seems to be an increasing number of concerns about algae and aquatic plants, a survey has been created to help better understand the current perception of their growth. But the survey wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be around forever!

Comments are being accepted until Aug. 31 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so now is the time to get involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Current results show 82 per cent of respondents have noticed an increase of algae on their water body in recent years,â&#x20AC;? says Kaitlin Brady, RVCA resource technician. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed changes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or not â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we want to hear from you.

We need all sides of the story so we can get a better idea of local conditions and concerns.â&#x20AC;?

The survey should take 15 to 20 minutes to complete and can be completed online at http://www.

BIRTH

SMITH – Jamie and Sylvia, along with Griffin and Emerson are truly grateful and blessed for the safe arrival of Rigsby Lawrence Smith, born October 20th, 2012, weighing 4 lbs. 10 oz., and 17.3” in length. Proud grandparents are Larry and Debbie Smith and Tom and Beth Graham. A nephew for Christina Smith and Allison Graham. A great grandson for Eva (the late Bert) Young and Ken and Audrey Smith. We couldn’t imagine life without you.

I’ve seen the appreciation for life in the soul of a one minute old... I’ve seen the determination to succeed in an hour old... I’ve seen the unfailing will to live in a day old... I’ve seen the refusal to give up in the eyes of a two day old... I’ve seen a determined soul tell the world that it can be done. I’ve seen a miracle... And it’s the most humbling experience I have ever felt.

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.”

I love you and I’m so proud of who you already have become. You are truly an inspiration!

DEATH NOTICE

Kern Bud (Charles Burtt) Kern With dignity, in hospital, Perth, after a short battle with cancer, on Tuesday, August 20th, 2013. Bud Kern, of Perth, at the age of 82 years.

Bud was predeceased by his wife, Mary Ann (neé Richardson) Kern.

Beloved husband of Jean Beverly Kern (neé Bearden). A much loved father.

Survived by Bud and Mary’s children: Jane Elizabeth (Huey) Kennedy, of Burlington, Janice Lynn Kern, of Lanark, and Charles Erik (Laura Lee) Kern, of Ottawa. Also survived by Bud’s step-daughters: Susan Beverly (Robert) Moore, of Toronto, Barbara Gwen (Gord) Storie, of Vancouver, Lois Irene (Larry) McPhee, of Lanark, Nina Mary Dorothy (Roel) Lancee, of Calgary, and Martha Jane (Shawn) Chadwick, of Aurora. Also left to mourn his loss is his brother Robert (Helen) Kern, of Vernon, BC, as well as his loving grandchildren and great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Bud spent 46 years in a lovingly devoted marriage to Mary, and, after dating for 5 years, had a wonderfully fun and loving 7 years as Jean’s husband. Early in his career he worked full time, while attending McGill University in the evenings. He spent his whole career working for the same company for 32 years, starting in an entry level position and after many promotions, retiring as an Assistant Vice President with Lloyd’s Bank, now known as HSBC. Bud was a devout Christian his whole life, and he drew comfort from his faith as the end neared. He served his church faithfully for over 20 years. His passions in life were; his faith, his family, flying as a private pilot, his cottage, the HAM radio club, and numerous service organizations. Bud will be lovingly remembered by all who knew him.

The flower you planted still blooms in it’s bed, Yet it’s you my sweet blossom we long for instead.

Always loved Always missed Our little Snookie.

Love Mommy and Daddy.

MORPHY, Leone – In loving memory of our dear mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, nanny, sister and aunt who passed away August 7, 2008.

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

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

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

Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all your family

TAYLOR, Adam – In loving memory of Adam who left us tragically on August 31, 2008.

The After Loss Credo I need to talk about my loss.

I may often need to tell you what happened – or ask you why it happened.

Each time I discuss my loss, I am helping myself face the reality of the death of my loved one.

I need to know that you care about me.

I need to feel your touch, your hugs.

I need you just to be with me.

(And I need to be with you.)

Please don’t judge me now – or think that I’m behaving strangely.

Remember I’m grieving.

I may even be in shock.

I may feel afraid. I may feel deep rage.

I may even feel guilty. But above all, I hurt.

I’m experiencing a pain unlike any I’ve ever felt before.

Don’t worry if you think I’m getting better And then suddenly I seem to slip backward.

Grief makes me behave this way at times, And please don’t tell me you “know how I feel”, or that it’s time for me to get on with my life.

(I am probably already saying this to myself.)

What I need now is time to grieve and to recover.

Most of all, thank you for being a friend.

Thank you for your patience Thank you for caring.

Thank you for helping, for understanding.

Thank you for praying for me.

And remember, in the days or years ahead, after your loss – when you need me as I have needed you – I will understand.

And then I will come and be with you.

Barbara Hills LesStrang Love Mom (Carolyn, nee Himmelman), Dad (Cemmis), brothers Vernon and David, Pa (Vernon) and Shirley and Fred.

Family and friends who treasured Adam’s life as we did are invited to join us at Hillcrest Cemetery on August 31, at 8:30 p.m. for a Candle Vigil in honour of Adam and the 5th anniversary of his death.

Sweatergang Companions gives seniors peace of mind at home

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unique in the services she offers, but her personal involvement and personality set her apart. Christine Wilson is the owner/operator of Sweatergang Companions, a nonmedical senior care agency out of Smiths Falls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there is an untapped need, because I think everyone wants to stay in their home if they can,â&#x20AC;? says Wilson.

Sweatergang Companions offer everything from meal preparation, to light housekeeping, to organizing activities and outings, transportation, engaging conversation, personal grooming, fitness, laundry, ironing, help with pet care and so much more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christine found out that Joann liked to sing, but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been doing so since she left the choir last spring. So she found this delightful musician who comes and sings with Joann â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so we have music in the house again, and Joannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singing again,â&#x20AC;? says Hugh Lafave, an octogenarian and one of Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clients, who admits he had missed hearing his wife voice raised in song.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s those little extras born of Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion and care for seniors that make the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offering unique. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She knows what we need sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just really part of the family when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here,â&#x20AC;? says Joann, who says she thoroughly enjoys Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company.

Sweatergang companionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to help seniors stay in there home as long as possible and tailors all its services to the individual needs of each client. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christine gives me the ability to stay in my home and keep it running on my own,â&#x20AC;? says Margaret Barlow, Smiths Falls resident, octogenarian and arthritis sufferer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took a fancy to her right away, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very pleasant person to have around, and I find her very interesting to chat with.â&#x20AC;?

Just starting to expand, Wilson puts in about 20 to 25 hours a week with her clients and nearly the same time on the administrative side of the business. She is now hiring one employee to help with one of her clients â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard decision for Wilson who takes her relationship with her clients very much to heart.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m growing very slowly,â&#x20AC;? says Wilson, who is quite definite about maintaining a consistent quality of service. With just three clients so far in the first eight months of operation, growth is inevitable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a lot of seniors itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a question of when they need someone like me,â&#x20AC;? says Wilson.

For the Lafaves Sweatergang Companions has made the difference between staying in the home they love and considering senior care â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an option theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not prepared to face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve both said we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave here except feet first. I would find it very difficult without her,â&#x20AC;?

says Joann, who is legally blind and starting to lose her hearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love this place and I love to walk, but I can start to feel very depressed if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have someone to share it with, it would be very difficult and Christine and I really enjoy each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company when walking the dog â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then if I need to go the grocery store, we hop in the car and she drives me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I encourage laughter and creative thinking, because growing old can be fun,â&#x20AC;? says Wilson.

By AMY HOGUE Sports – The hockey world may be gearing up for another exciting season of minor hockey, but returning players and parents will find this year a little different.

Following a May 2013 decision of Hockey Canada to remove body contact from Peewee level and below, the Lanark County Minor Hockey League (LCMHL) has followed suit with its own changes to contact rules, effectively removing body contact from all levels of house league minor hockey.

One of the issues centered around the checking debate is at what age is it appropriate to introduce checking into recreational minor hockey.

For Hockey Canada, that age is now at Bantam level, bringing them closer to the standards applied in other parts of the world. Canada joins the United States, Australia, Korea, Great Britain, and Russia in removing contact from players 12-years-old and younger.

The change in the LCMHL contact regulations comes in the form of a two year pilot project, and affects all associations within its district, namely the Carleton Place, Perth, Lanark, Almonte, Pakenham, Stittsville, Richmond Munster, West Carleton and Osgoode minor hockey associations. Contact hockey will still be played

at the competitive level of hockey.

According to the Perth Lanark Minor Hockey Association’s (PLMHA) website, the discussion of checking versus non checking has been taking place for some time and that “recently there has been a focus on concussion awareness and its long lasting effects and lengthy discussions on what levels of hockey should be checking and non checking.” Difficulties in locating checking tournaments for house league players was also cited as a contributing factor in the decision to remove checking from house league play.

Stories of hockey related head injuries have made headlines in recent years, particularly following Canadian hockey player, Sidney Crosbie’s, head injury in 2011. PLMHA past president Anne Arnoldi, explained that the risk of injuries was part of the checking discussion.

“There are injuries in many sports, not just hockey. In the past few years there has been a lot of focus on head injuries, concussions and the lasting effects. It has led to many discussions on what levels of hockey should have checking and non checking,” she said.

Safety issues aside, there are both pros and cons to removing contact from recreational hockey. For players who are looking to enter into the competitive world of hockey where con-

tact is still the norm, a lack of experience with checkingcould potentially put them at a disadvantage. Conversely, no contact hockey can contribute to stronger player development in the form of skating and puck handling skills.

Glenn Austin, LCMHL president, explained those players who are interested in playing competitively will still be given the opportunity to develop checking skills and will be prepared to enter competitive hockey safely.

“LCMHL has adopted non-checking at all levels from Peewee and up, unless the player is moving up towards a competitive level whereby it is mandatory that the player takes or has taken a body contact course before stepping on the ice in checking capacity,” Austin wrote in an email statement to the Record News.

He stressed that the removal of body contact in all levels of house league hockey is part of a two-year pilot project only, and that the League Executive will continue to monitor its progress for the 2013-2014 hockey season.

PLMHA President, Bryan Greer, said that so far public response to the change in regulation in PLMHA has been positive but predicts the hockey world “will see more conversation come from when body checking should be introduced.”

Skies clear in time for Thursday Night Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twilight Aug. 22 Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Glenview Iron and Metal was the generous sponsor of the Aug. 22 edition of the Thursday Night Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twilight. The skies cleared just in time and, except for one dark cloud about half way through the round, the golf went ahead without a hitch. It was a red, white, and blue scramble, giving players a different look at the course and making for some fun golf.

Dave McKenney, John McKenney, Mike Koziel, Steve James, and Rick Wiseman went nine for nine in the birdie department on the front side, posting an A division winning 27. Scott Bedford, Jason Drummond, Steve Lumsden,

and George Thompson claimed B division honors with a 33.

On the back nine, the head table (Drummy, Roy, Tommy, Brussy, and Kenny) brought along Billy Crawford in place of the absent Rocky. Billy must have been the difference; they claimed the A division title with an impressive score of 26. Mike Milks, Mike Whitby, Jim Kayser, Dave Kayser, and Billy Ballantyne coasted to a B division win with a score of 31.

The Roosteraunt closest-to-thepin prizes went to Peter Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill and Roy Leach for their tee shots on holes 3 and 16.

Mike Koziel and Ryan Robillard took home the Burnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jewelers

gift certificates for their approach shots on holes 5 and 10.

The Town and Country Chrysler longest drives were sent into orbit my Steve James and Billy Crawford on holes 6 and 11.

Byron Garton and Andrew Wilkinson stroked the Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Furniture longest putts on holes 4 and 15.

Finally, Dave Hawkins was the lucky 50/50 prize winner (what a surprise!), and Mike Koziel took home the bottle of Kennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kennel Kleaner.

Thanks goes out to our sponsor, Glenview Iron and Metal, for a great prize table, and to all who came out to play. See you next

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A number of exciting events are coming to the Smiths Falls Community Memorial Centre in the month of September.

The Kurt Browning Ice Clinic will land at the arena on Sept. 5 and 6 and is open to all interested Skate Canada members aged anywhere from eight to 20 years.

The clinic will include two on-ice sessions each day with Browning demonstrating various skate disciplines, along with two off-ice sessions of dance instruction with Diego Arvelo.

The busy two-day schedule also includes off-ice fitness training with former skater and present personal trainer Desirae Heine and one off-ice nutrition session with sports nutritionist Ellie Steele. Participants will also get one

off ice report card and grade execution training session with Skate Canada judge Rhonda Vanderveen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important that we do not draw too many spectators to the area, as this will hurt the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning if there are too many distractions,â&#x20AC;? warns Tracey Hayden, treasurer with Athens Figure Skating Club and event organizer.

Ottawa 67’s to face off in Smiths Falls September 11 in pre-season game against the Belleville Bulls Sports – For the second year in a row, the Town of Smiths Falls and the Ottawa 67’s Hockey Club are pleased to announce that the 67’s will be playing a pre-season game at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre in September.

Presented by Rideau Insurance, the game, which is slated for Wednesday, Sept. 11, will see the major junior 67’s take to the NHL-sized ice surface of the arena as the “home” team versus the Belleville Bulls. The Bulls finished the 2012-2013 regular season as the Eastern Division winners in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).

“We have a vibrant, fun-loving community here in Smiths Falls and hosting the 67’s helps us send that message to hockey fans across the province,” said Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples. “I remember the roar of the fullhouse in our great new memorial community centre arena last year and I’m already excited by the prospect of hearing it again on Sept. 11.”

Along with Smiths Falls, “home” pre-season games are also planned by the 67’s for Sept.

3 in Kemptville and Sept. 6 in Rockland.

Game time on Sept. 11 is 7:30 p.m. As was the case last year, Riley Raccoon, one of the 67’s team mascots, will be in attendance to greet fans. As well, after the game is over, the 67’s will take part in an autograph session.

“All of us in the 67’s organization are looking forward to returning to Smiths Falls and playing at the memorial arena,” said 67’s head coach and general manager Chris Byrne. “It’s a great building and, as we experienced last season, a community with great hockey fans.”

Founded in 1967, the Ottawa 67’s are considered one of Canada’s most successful major junior hockey franchises, on the ice and in the stands. They’ve appeared in five Memorial Cup tournaments, winning twice. This year, while the Ottawa Civic Centre continues to undergo renovations as part of a broader redevelopment of Lansdowne Park, the 67’s will play home games once again at the Canadian Tire Centre (formerly Scotiabank Place), only 35 minutes from Smiths Falls.

Rick St. Dennis, director of

community services for the Town of Smiths Falls, says arena staff members are excited “and look forward to working with the Ottawa 67’s organization as we approach game night. We are also once again, fortunate, to have the solid support of the Smiths Falls Girls Hockey Association with respect to organizing this event.”

“Last year’s game against the Gatineau Olympiques drew the largest crowd the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre has seen since opening our doors in October, 2010,” St. Dennis noted. “We are confident we will experience a repeat performance on Sept. 11, as the 67’s face off against last year’s OHL eastern division leading Belleville Bulls.

We also encourage everyone to purchase tickets early, to avoid disappointment.”

Tickets for the Sept. 11 game are $12 (HST included) for adults (13 years of age and older) and $6 for seniors and students. Children under the age of four will be admitted free. Tickets are available for purchase at the memorial community centre office or by calling the 67’s ticket office at 613-232-6767, ext. 1.

After you’ve finished painting that wall, use up or give away leftover paint. When there are no other options, take what’s left back to your municipal hazardous waste depot to be recycled.

The best leftover paint is no leftover paint at all.
