Town denies request for service extension Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Montague’s request to extend services to fringe areas adjacent to the town does not hold water, according to Smiths Falls councillors who rejected the request at committee this week.

“I’m open to talking about annexation but I’m not open to amending our Official Plan,” said Coun. Jay Brennan.

The request, formally received by the town on Aug. 11, 2015 from Montague,

requests water and wastewater services be extended to 467 Queen St. (across from the Gallipeau Centre), along Roger Stevens Road and Rideau Street South, and on lands extending along Highway 15, Union Street, Ruthven Street, and Uphill Street.

Staff noted an Official Plan (OP) amendment would have to be undertaken to continue discussions on this topic, since the recently approved OP specifically disallows service extension beyond the See SERVICES page SF3 Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND and Photo Illustration

Volunteers with the Needle Hunter program, part of the municipal drug strategy, were busy searching the playground at Chimo Elementary School in Smiths Falls for needles on Sept. 12. This was prompted after two students found a needle on the property on the first day of school. Inset is a photo illustration depicting the needle found by the student.

The discovery of a syringe by two Chimo Elementary School students this week has prompted school staff and police to urge parents to talk about the dangers of sharp items with their children.

“This is a teachable moment and we would ask all parents and guardians to remind their

children that if they find anything unusual they should not touch it and report it immediately to a member of staff,” reads a letter written by Chimo principal Carole Dufort and dated Sept.

9, 2015, which was sent home with students.

The syringe was found on the grass by the playground on the first day of school (Sept. 8).

The school board confirmed one boy picked up the needle before informing teachers of its existence. The Record News has been able to speak

with the parents of Michael Denham-Flegg, the Grade 3 student who pricked himself with the needle.

“He was bleeding,” said the boy’s father, Derek Flegg.

Flegg said the school called them at 2:35 p.m. then immediately cleaned and dressed the skin before sending the Grade 3 student home See NEEDLE page SF2

Lanark County, Leeds & Grenville United Way annual campaigns get underway tinued Hillier. “To reach that goal of helping one in three in our combined counties, we need everyone to reach out to us at our United Way office by calling 613-342-8889 or going to our website at www.uwlg.org to donate.”

On the morning of Sept. 28, the United Way Lanark County campaign kicks off with a flag raising ceremony at the County of Lanark in Perth.

“This has become a tradition in Lanark County,” noted executive director Fraser Scantlebury of the United Way Lanark County, “and not only does it celebrate the start of the campaign, it also acknowledges the employees of the county, who are such strong supporters of the work we and our partners do for those in need. This year our goal is to raise enough funds to invest in the lives of 8,500 people within the county, who need our assistance.”

Like all United Ways, the idea of giving where you live is very important. “This is especially true for those who work at companies or organizations where there are workplace campaigns,” continued Scantlebury.

“We have many folks who work in Ottawa or even other counties, and we encourage all donors in all three counties to give to the United Way where they live. Often the people we help are people our donors may even know. It is also important for people

to ask if there can be a workplace campaign where they work. That is the easiest way to donate to your United Way. For just a $1 a day, you can be a real hero to those in need within your community.”

In Lanark County, those who want to donate should contact the office at 613-253-9074 or go the United Way Lanark County website at www.lanarkunitedway.com.

“Somewhere in Leeds & Grenville, there is a young person who is being bullied, or a senior who is lonely, that needs your support,” says Hillier, “and your donation allows us to offer that helping hand.”

Scantlebury picked up on that theme of helping, “The new United Way theme is Together, we are possibility, and we know that our community members will dig deep, and donate to help those in need, so that together we may ensure our youth, our seniors, and those who are struggling, receive that helping hand they so desperately need.”

For further information, please contact your local United Way in Lanark, Leeds & Grenville – and remember that every dollar donated in your county stays in your county!

September marks the start of your local United Way annual campaigns across Canada – and especially in the counties of Lanark, Leeds & Grenville.

With a focus on raising funds to help local partners and initiatives meet the real needs of their communities, the campaigns are all ab out changing lives. This requires an active partnership between donors, your local United Way, and those in need. When we all work as one, then Together, we are possibility – the new theme for the United Way across Canada – the possibility of a better life for everyone in our communities.

The two organizations – United Way Lanark, United Way Leeds & Grenville – invest with local partners to work in three focus areas – All that kids can be; from poverty to possibility; and healthy people, strong communities.

“While we work together and across Canada to bring attention to these important areas, we work directly with local partners to change lives,” noted Melissa Hillier, executive director of the United Way Leeds & Grenville, “and all funds raised in Leeds and Grenville stay in our county. This is an essential element of our fund raising efforts – every dollar raised stays right here.”

The Leeds & Grenville campaign kicked off in fine style last Wednesday, Sept. 9, with a goal of changing 33,102 lives.

“It is a goal we believe our community – individual donors, businesses, and community organizations – are willing to help us achieve” con-

No, Payne, no gain for Canadians: Green Party of Canada Tara Gesner

tgesner@perfprint.ca

Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of Lanark-FrontenacKingston candidate profiles running in the weeks leading up to the federal election Oct. 19.

After the longest election period in modern times, Canadians across the country will cast ballots on Oct. 19, electing the 42nd Parliament of Canada.

Anita Payne, 61, is the Green Party candidate in the new Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding.

“I think I’m the oldest contender,” she joked during an interview with this newspaper on Sept. 3.

Payne faces three challengers: Phil Archambault (Liberal), John Fenik (NDP) and incumbent Scott Reid (Conservative).

“People should vote for me because I will bring them real representation in Parliament,” she said. “The Green Party doesn’t

allow whipped votes.”

If elected, Payne will be working for the voters, not her party, as the Greens allow members to vote in the best interest of themselves, and their constituents.

Although the Tay Valley Township resident has never run federally, Payne ran three times provincially – and in three different ridings: Perth-Wellington (2007), Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock (2011) and Prince Edward-Hastings (2014).

Payne was born in Toronto and grew up in Scarborough. Spending her summers at the cottage on Lake Simcoe, she had a lot of interaction with nature, which inspired her to study ecology.

“I earned two degrees,” she said. “One from the University of Guelph and my master’s from Western University.”

The retired high school science teacher has two adult children and one grandchild, and in her spare time Payne enjoys:

travelling, making art quilts, swimming, hiking and cycling.

“I’ve done a few triathlons,” she said, “and in 2016 I plan on doing the Perth Kilt Run.” “It’s great to do positive things, savouring the Earth we are trying to save,” Payne added.

The candidate has been active in various community and environmental groups, including the Ontario Society for Environmental Education and the Black Lake Association, over the years in both Lanark County and Stratford, where she lived for 11 years.

Payne joined the Green Party in 2003.

“Although I never really had any political ambitions, I felt compelled to join the Green Party,” she said. “I wanted to help bring an environmental focus to political decisions.”

Elizabeth May became the head of the Green Party of Canada in the fall of 2006.

“I already knew her,” Payne said, “and I was thrilled when she decided to run for the leadership.”

After hearing May speak at a Green Party of Ontario conference, “I was inspired,” she continued, “and I decided to put my name forward to be the provincial candidate.”

In the summer of 2013 Payne participated in a training session – the Climate Reality Project – led by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, gaining a better

understanding of environmental issues and becoming a skilled communicator on the impacts of climate change.

To bring attention to the climate crisis and demand action, in 2014 Payne participated in the Great March for Climate Action.

Hundreds of climate advocates set out from Los Angeles on March 1, walking 3,000 miles across the U.S. to Washington, D.C. The journey would take eight months.

“I started the walk on March

1,” Payne said, “and after arriving in Phoenix a month later, I went home.”

She returned to the walk in September, leaving from Chicago.

“On Nov. 1 we arrived in Washington (at the White House),” Payne said.

The group declared they saw firsthand how climate change is affecting people from coast to coast and their message was this: See GREEN page 4

Archives Lanark reports on successful summer, book launch As fall approaches, the volunteers at Archives Lanark look back on a successful summer helping people find their family roots in Lanark County and providing records to those preparing books and displays for the upcoming celebrations of the Perth Military Settlement next year and the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017.

When people from a distance remark on what a varied collection of records we have and how

helpful our volunteers are, they note the difference when they visit a government archives and are pretty much on their own.

Donations of family histories covering the Amell, Lyon, Arthur, Earnshaw, John Wesley and Thomas Ferguson families add to our large genealogy collection.

“Every person would be insured of enough income to allow them to live with dignity,� Payne said.

The GLI would replace federal transfers for social assistance, disability supports, the Old Age Supplement and the Guaranteed Income Supplement for the elderly, the Canadian Child Tax Benefit and National Child Benefit Supplement for parents with children, and the Working Income Tax Benefit for the poor.

Moreover, the National Seniors Strategy would call for other support programs, including pharmacare, and homecare. “These supports would allow seniors to stay in their homes as long as they are able to,� Payne said, “and they end up being much happier.�

Climate change “The threat of climate change has never been more urgent,� Payne said. “It’s a crisis.�

She noted U.S. President Barack Obama brought his crusade against climate change to Alaska earlier this month; however, “Stephen Harper didn’t go,� even though other leaders were there.

Payne underlined the president’s quote: “Human activity is disrupting the climate, in many ways faster than we previously thought.� “With extreme warming in the Arc-

The thousands of people fleeing into Europe from Syria, Afghanistan and other locations... “are fleeing because of war that was started as a result of a seever drought, which was caused by climate change,� Payne said. “Even Stephen Harper admitted this summer that the severe fires out west are the result of climate change,� she continued.

On the subject of rising greenhouse emissions, Payne is disappointed the Harper government has never brought in regulations for the oil and gas sectors.

Another concern for the Green Party candidate is having North America’s largest oilsands pipeline going through Stittsville, pumping millions of barrels of oil-

sands (tar sands) oil from Alberta to New Brunswick. “It’s not worth the risk to Ontarians,� Payne said. “Any community the pipeline travels through is at risk, because we all know pipelines leak.� “It’s not a safe way to transport bitumen!� she continued.

Platform Payne said the Green Party of Canada is about more than just the environment. “We have a total platform based on a 130-page document called Vision Green,� Payne said. “Vision Green comes from the grassroots idea of all the Green Party members.� “It’s an example of participatory democracy, which is one of the key values that Green parties all around the world are based on,� she added.

In Canada, the Green Party is the only national party that belongs to a global political movement.

Payne noted quite a number of older people reside in the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding; however, “these people are afraid of outliving their money.�

The Green Party’s Guaranteed Liveable Income (GLI) initiative, part of its National Seniors Strategy, establishes an income floor below which no Canadian could fall, but with incentives for recipients to continue working and to earn more.

CHEO launches 25th annual Dream of a Lifetime Lottery Joseph Morin

joe.morin@metroland.com

The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario sets a great example in supporting the region’s sick children. The community will be joining in with its support for another exciting Dream of a Lifetime Lottery.

CHEO launched its 25th Dream of Lifetime Lottery on Monday, Sept. 14 at this year’s

Minto Dream Home, just outside of Manotick. The grand prize package is located at 800 Percival Cres. and is a fully-furnished, exquisitely decorated home. The grand prize comes with $100,000 in cash, a 2016 Chevy Camaro from Meyers Automotive Group, house cleaning for a year, $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy and furnishings by La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries.

That is only the first of many

great prizes to be won.

The lottery launch featured a gathering of community builders who have teamed up to make this venture a success. Graham Richardson, CTV co-anchor was the master of ceremonies. “This is one of my favourite events,” said Richardson. He joked that when you look at the interest in the dream house lottery compared to your everyday election story there is no comparison. People

This $1.7 million grand prize is up for grabs in this year’s Dream of a Lifetime Lottery for CHEO; the prize includes the home and vehicle pictured here, and more.

really care about CHEO, he said.

CHEO Foundation president and CEO Kevin Keohane said last year’s lottery was a sell-out and this year organizers expect the same. He said that this year the fundraising goal is $3 million and over the past 25 years the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery had raised $46 million for CHEO. Keohane stressed the importance of the community and team effort for the lottery and said, “If everyone thinks of just their part – everyone involved in this project will make it a success.”

Bruce Squires is the vice president of people, strategy and performance at CHEO. He said, “Every year, with the support of the community CHEO is able to help 500,000 children.”

One child who has had the good fortune to have CHEO in her life is 14year-old Clara von Maltzahn. She attended the lottery launch and had a few words to say.

When she was six-years-old she was diagnosed with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. The treatments she has received at CHEO have made a difference.

“CHEO is huge in my life,” she said.

“If CHEO had not treated me I would be in a wheelchair right now. I would be miserable.”

Richardson asked Clara what she thought of the house. She paused before asking him if he had seen the television

downstairs, which brought a laugh from those gathered.

On a more serious note Clara said, “CHEO is my hope for the future. They took my arthritis away. They are everything.”

The Dream of a Lifetime Lottery is a great opportunity to give luck a helping hand and support a great institution at the same time. There will only be 65,000 tickets sold and that makes for very good odds of grabbing one of the 4,789 prizes.

You can visit the dream home yourself from noon to 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday and on Saturday and Sunday

from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The new dream home and all that goes with it is the first prize but there are many others.

The second prize is worth more than $161,000 and includes $100,000 cash. Along with cash prizes there is a 2016 Nissan Rogue SL, AWD from Myers Automotive Group, a seven-day Eastern or Western Caribbean Cruise for two from Destination Anywhere and an Ottawa Senators 100 Level Flex 40 season ticket package.

County to move funds from homeownership program to benefit Renovate Lanark initiative Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

More Lanark County residents are seeking aid in renovating their homes, than purchasing new ones.

County social housing manager Sandy Grey revealed that fact during the county’s community services committee meeting Sept. 9 in Perth, at which time the committee endorsed re-allocating $150,000 from the county’s homeownership program to its Renovate Lanark initiative.

For 2015-2016, there is $200,000 in funding available through the homeownership program, while Renovate Lanark

has $200,425. Grey said the Renovate Lanark has already used up all of its funding with 16 requests still on a waiting list.

“We’ve helped quite a few people.

Most have been common requests for roof repair and also furnace repair,” she said.

Residences in Beckwith, Carleton Place, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills, Montague, Perth and Tay Valley have benefitted from Renovate Lanark with the most number of households helped in Lanark Highlands (seven).

However, the homeownership program has not been as active as in previ-

ous years, but has aided four new homeowners in Tay Valley, Drummond/North Elmsley, Carleton Place and Smiths Falls. It provides five per cent of the purchase price of a home through a 20-year loan. Just $34,095 of the $200,000 in the fund has been used. “The homeownership program is traditionally most active in the spring, so I’m really concerned we won’t be spending as much in that program this spring,” Grey noted, which was why she was asking to transfer $150,000 over to Renovate Lanark.

“We anticipate we will continue to receive requests during the heating season for low-income households,” she continued.

According to Grey, provincial guidelines state that 90 per cent of the funding must be spent by Dec. 31, 2015 with the entire amount used up by March 31, 2016.

Coun. Bill Dobson (Montague reeve), community services chair, questioned whether there would be enough funds in the homeownership program if council agreed to the transfer. “There is $15,000 left to spend in homeownership (with the re-allocation),” Grey answered.

With the infusion of funds, Coun.

Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) asked “how many people would be impacted?”

Grey noted that the maximum loan

in Renovate Lanark is $10,000. “So we will be able to help at least 15,” she said. “The cost of a furnace is roughly $5,000.”

Along with the motion to re-allocate the funds, Grey will also be submitting a request to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to adjust the social housing program delivery fiscal plan to reflect the change.

“I think this is an excellent working solution,” added Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor). “It leaves a little bit of money in homeownership in case we have a late application but we’re being proactive to help these families on the (Renovate Lanark) waiting list...”

hile we often see images of others starving around the world, the reality is, many in our own country are going hungry.

According to Food Banks Canada, hunger is a reality in Canada and they want to establish a dialogue to raise awareness on the issue and come up with solutions. Enter Hunger Awareness Week, which will be marked nationally Sept. 21 to 25. It’s shocking to know that 850,000 individuals across the country turn to food banks for support and one in 10 Canadians doesn’t know where their next meal will come from.

Food banks here in Lanark County are getting in on the discussion as well, planning a series of events designed to bring some focus to the issue of hunger and make a positive impact. The Smiths Falls Community Food Bank is encouraging residents to lend a hand with fall food drives in town or visit the food bank to find out how they operate.

The Lanark County Food Bank, which serves Carleton Place, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills is taking it one step further.

They have planned an interactive Chopped-

style Master Chef Cook-Off where three local chefs will be tasked with creating an appetizer, main course and dessert using a typical food hamper the food bank would provide for a family of four. The catch is, the chefs have no idea what items will be included. According to food bank manager Karin Nakamura, the idea behind the cookoff is to show that “food bank food doesn’t have to be boring.”

Also planned during the week are an online auction and car rally, giving people a chance to tour through the area, all while helping the food bank raise much-needed funds to purchase perishables for their food hampers.

Social media can be a powerful tool in the discussion. Food Banks Canada is inviting people to follow them on Twitter and Instagram (find the links at hungerawareness.ca) to start a dialogue. The site also highlights special events taking place during the week.

We urge you to consider attending an event or two. Perhaps you don’t need access to food bank services presently, but you never know when you might.

Father learns the value of the knife sharpening man Few buggies came in our long lane that caused more excitement for me than the one bringing the old man who came to sharpen our knives. Everything about him was different from any other visitor to our farm out in Northcote.

You could hear him before you saw him. He had a rack attached to the dashboard of the buggy, and it held a row of bells, which he pounded, one after the other all the way in the lane and right into our yard. As soon as our old dog Sport heard the bells, he ran to the cow byre and hid in the hay. Mother said it was the old man’s way of letting us know he was coming and gave her time to redd up the knives in the kitchen.

Father thought paying good money for sharpening knives

was a complete waste, since he could do just as good a job with the whit stone. “Can you cut a piece of paper with the knives you sharpened?” Mother would ask. For that, Father had no answer.

The old man steered the buggy right over to the watering trough so his horse could have a drink while he worked.

He hopped down, went to the back of the buggy and took out a small stand and a little stool, nodded in my direction and got right down to the business of

sharpening knives.

Mother had arrived at the spot with a kitchen tray and every knife we owned.

The contraption that did the work had a stone wheel, which sat in a little basin and this he filled with water from the watering trough. A belt went from the wheel down to a wood pedal and once he sat on the three-legged stool and placed a foot on the pedal, he worked it up and down just like Mother did on the treadle Singer sewing machine. The wheel went at a great clip spitting out water in every direction.

One after another the old man took a knife from the tray, held it to the stone, and stuff flew off the wheel, water spewed out from the basin, and before long the old man’s front was soaked to the skin. He stopped only long

enough to get more water from the trough for the job at hand.

He had a stump of a cigar in his mouth and never once did I see him put a match to it. I was just as fascinated with the cigar as I was with the knife sharpener, because even though it wasn’t

lit, it was obvious to me that he was chewing it. Because every once in a while, he would let go with a spit that arched in the air and landed about 10 feet away. I marveled at such a talent for spitting and watched as the stub of his cigar got smaller and smaller

until there was nothing left but one final spit.

Why he didn’t sever off a finger was beyond me. He wore no gloves, but held the blade of the knife heavy against the whirling See MARY page 9

wheel, turning it often to do both sides. When he got it to his liking, he took a sheet of newspaper from the ground; obviously there for just such a purpose and with one fell-swoop, he sliced the paper with the newly sharpened knife. I was very impressed!

Father still questioned the wisdom of spending money on something he would easily do for nothing. That is until the day the old man picked up an old rusted and weather beaten axe leaning against the pump platform. He put the handle over his shoul-

LETTER From page 8

Ontario are rated for youth audiences (G, PG, 14A). In 2014, 90 per cent of movies that featured tobacco use got away with a youth-rating in Ontario, compared with only 53 per cent in the US. It is common knowledge that most people start smoking before the age of 18. My grandfather passed away from lung cancer as a result of a smoking addiction he started in his youth.

A simple and obvious step to ensure children and youth are not conditioned to think cigarettes are cool or normal is to require all movies that

der and pressed the blade of the axe hard against the spinning wheel.

Within minutes it was as shiny as a night star, and took the paper-slicing job as easily as did the knives from the kitchen.

Father wandered over from the barn.

“Well, I’ll be darned,” he said. Mother paid the old man 10 cents for every knife he honed and he told Father, “The axe is on the house,” whatever that meant.

Never again did Father complain about the old man who came once or twice a year to sharpen our knives.

In fact, he always made sure one of our axes, badly in need of a sharpening, was leaning against the pump platform in wait.

The Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark Leeds Grenville, Perth site, hosted its annual Coffee Break fundraiser at Barnabe’s Indpendent Grocer on Sept. 4. Pictured are MPP Randy Hillier and Louise Noble, executive director, during the barbecue which raised $350. “We got lots of exposure at this event which is great for us for awareness,” said Bobbi-Jo Jarvis, fundraising coordinator for the Alzheimer Society. Coffee Break is the Alzheimer Society’s major nationwide annual fundraiser where friends, co-workers and customers gather in communities across Canada to raise funds for local Alzheimer societies. This is largely a third party fundraiser and hosts are not limited to coffee consumption. Some people host card parties, barbecues, have a silent auction or yard sale. Businesses sometimes sell cut outs (window decorations), have dress-up or dress-down days at work, or raffles to raise money. The society supplies the promotional materials and the coffee.

now before they are gone. If you would like more information, call Bobbi-Jo Jarvis at 613-264-0307.

Our Services :

Blues on the Rideau kicks off 11th year Sept. 25 with Danny Brooks Blues On The Rideau (BOTR), the dinner and show fundraiser series that has been running at The Cove Country Inn in Westport, Ontario for the past 10 years – starts its 2015/16 season on Sept. 25 with the great Danny Brooks and Lil’ Miss Debi coming up from Llano, Texas – backed by his terriďŹ c veteran band from Toronto – The Memphis Brothers.

Born and raised in Toronto,

but now a Texas resident, singer/songwriter/guitarist/harp player Brooks combines the best of Texas and Mississippi soul blues.

He is a multiple Juno and Maple Blues Award nominee and will be backed by his wife Debi and some of the best players in Toronto. Proceeds from the evening will go to beneďŹ t Westport In Bloom.

BOTR is now recognized as one of the best blues series

in the country. Once again it features another all-star cast of some of North America’s best blues bands – all Juno, Maple Blues and Lys Blues Award nominees/winners. This season there’s a nice mix of popular returnees with a couple of new bands that have never played BOTR before. As in previous years every show is a fundraiser for a different local charity.

To date the series has raised more than $55,000. The goal

this year is to reach another $5,000.

All BOTR shows run from 7 to 11 p.m. and include a delicious full course buffet dinner.

The venue is small, intimate and relaxed. After dinner you get to see and dance to these great Blues bands up close and personal – the way blues is best enjoyed! There are door prize giveaways at every show and two grand prizes drawn at the end of the season. All of this for a very reasonable price of $65 (plus tax).

There has been a small increase ($5) in the price this year – the ďŹ rst in ďŹ ve years – to help cover cost increases over this time. And there is a new

reservation policy in place – a credit card number is required with the reservation (although the card is not charged until the night of the show).

Cancellations or changes in the reservation can be made up to a week prior to the event without penalty. After that time those than don’t show – or come with fewer people than reserved for – will be charged for those seats – although a credit will be applied for a future show that season (space available). The new policy has been implemented due to a number of no shows over the past several years which, in many cases, has prevented others who would like to attend.

Dinner and the show is $65 (plus HST). Advance reservations are required and it is wise to book well in advance, especially if you want to stay overnight. Rooms at The Cove and nearby B&Bs and motels frequently sell out on blues nights.

To reserve, simply call The Cove at 613-273-3636 or 1-888-COVEINN. For more information, email info@coveinn.com or visit www.coveinn.com.

Dubliners are hoping for economic comeback We’re just back from Dublin, the vibrant and interesting capital city of the Irish Republic. Despite the hustle and bustle things have definitely changed there as Europe and the rest of the developed world try to safely ride the latest financial roller coaster.

Gone is the forest of construction cranes which, during a visit in 2006 had us awestruck as the capital of Ireland boomed and the cost of real estate soared into the stratosphere.

The so-called “Celtic Tiger” long ago lost its claws. Dublin was the birthplace of what turned out to be an amazingly brief period of prosperity.

Taxi drivers in the Irish capital are the friendliest, most talkative cabbies we have encountered anywhere.

They too are trying to deal with the new normal as Uber spreads its wings to cover every major city on the globe. The tale of financial woe the city’s taxi drivers spin is a depressing one.

As the construction cranes began to fall like dominos (in 2006 Dublin was second only to the United Arab Emirates in that department) so too did the financial fortunes of islanders.

The Irish joined the Euro zone at a fortuitous time and for a few short years they benefited more than most members from the financial perks which, at one time, went with membership in the European Union (EU).

Caught up in a wave of what turned out to be false economic promise a number of Ireland’s partners, led by Greece as it happens, built such huge debts that they could no longer make the required interest payments.

Trying to juggle their own books, which were already awash in a suddenly red sea, was difficult enough for Ireland without being asked to help bail out Greece and other flagging EU partners.

From my observations the Irish are very hard workers and I’m sure the notion of Greeks retiring at age 50, with the idea of a pension for life, doesn’t wash there! I will qualify the previous sentence by noting that I’m sure not all Greeks fall into that category. But that perception is part of the unflattering picture which has been painted for us in the midst of the Mediterranean nation’s massive financial mess.

Still, I don’t hear the Irish heaping their woes on any other people.

They feel they only have themselves to blame for diving into a promising pool which turned out to be very shallow.

Ask Dublin’s cab drivers and

Reflections

By Jeff maguire

you will get an honest answer.

“Too many heads were turned by big money,” our driver lamented as she tried to weave through the daily traffic jam in the city centre.

We were on the way to Connolly Railway Station where we had a mid-morning train to catch.

Expensive city “See that place,” she said, gesturing toward a ritzy looking, multi-storey structure overlooking the River Liffey.

“It’s a condo and it’s too expensive. But housing is so scarce in the (city) centre that people are doubling and tripling up to buy places.”

It’s true Dublin is somewhat insulated from the slump that plagued lightly populated Ireland following the recession of 2009. More than one-third of the country’s 4.6 million residents call Dublin home.

As the Tiger turned tail and ran for cover construction of new housing in the nation declined markedly. That created an even bigger accommodation crisis in housingchallenged Dublin.

We toured much of the island (south and north) with friends last summer. While we were there I read a story in the Irish Times saying new housing starts were again on the rise. That was especially true in the country’s largest communities led by Dublin and including the southern port city of Cork and Galway on the west coast.

This year the rebound is continuing led by the demand for new residential developments in Dublin and vicinity.

Central Dublin in particular is the worst place in the country to find accommodation. Demand continues to outstrip the supply and space is also a big consideration. Dublin is an old city of course. Originally a Viking settlement, founded in 840, the Norsemen called the town “Dubh-Linn” (Dark Pool).

Typical of the way so many European cities have developed, the footprint of Central Dublin hasn’t changed that much over the years.

That means a lot of buildings and streets are jammed into a very confined space, hugging the banks of the Liffey, a tidal river that empties into the Irish Sea. Real estate in the centre is highly prized and very expensive. Several years of reduced construction activity has put even

more pressure on the tight housing and commercial markets.

Dubliners hope that will change as they nervously watch developments in the Euro zone. Some of those Kathleen and I spoke to wish they had followed the lead of the British and kept their own currency. Although it is hard to know if that would have made them less vulnerable? Ireland is but a drop in the large European pool.

Like most European countries the Irish Republic and its busy capital city lean heavily on the tourism industry for financial support. And it is such a welcoming country to visit. The people are friendly, we speak the same language (after a fashion) and there is so much to see and do.

History, including our family trees which found growth on this small island, brings us back to Ireland again and again. That fact aside we love the country and especially Dublin.

It’s been a difficult year in our family and we needed a getaway.

Dublin – and London which we also visited on this excursion – was a tonic for us!

We enjoyed a mix of familiar places and new experiences during this year’s visit to Ireland.

We took the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) train south to the coastal town of Bray on the Irish Sea where we stayed during our first visit to Ireland in 2001. It was so enjoyable to walk along the expansive beach and watch and listen to the sea roll ashore. We followed the flight of the gulls as they dipped and dived over a large bluff at one end of the seafront. The vendors were doing a brisk business selling chips (fries) and ice lollies (popsicles) on a pleasant late summer afternoon.

Imposing castle Back in the city we made a point of touring Dublin Castle one of the Top 10 attractions there, but a place we had never visited.

Commissioned by King John in the 13th century the imposing castle has evolved from a medieval fortress into a vice-regal court and administrative centre. For 700 years it was a controversial symbol of British rule in Ireland. The Easter Rising in 1916 led to the declaration of an Irish Free State and civil war.

It wasn’t until 1922 that it was formally turned over to Michael Collins and his followers. The commander and chief of the Irish forces during the civil war, Collins was also the head of the provisional government. He was shot dead in his native Cork the same year! For the record, the Irish Civil

War ended after less than a year of conflict in May 1923.

If there are financial issues in Ireland, and most certainly there are, you would never know it in Temple Bar, Dublin’s vibrant cultural quarter.

Temple Bar is a lively enclave of cobble-stoned streets filled with bars, restaurants, cafés and theatres. Street musicians and buskers help give the area its reputation as the “entertainment heart of Dublin.”

Our hotel was located on the north bank of the Liffey, directly opposite Temple Bar which was certainly convenient. If we wanted a meal we crossed one of the pedestrian bridges over the river. The options are unlimited. From Irish menus to Thai food there is a restaurant or pub with dishes to suit every palate.

The beer isn’t bad either! In fact if you visit Ireland and especially its busy capital it is mandatory that you sample the country’s national drink, Guinness. Fans of the stout say, “The closer you are to St. James Gate Brewery, the better your pint.”

Temple Bar is only a short bus ride from the famous brewery so the Guinness is bound to be at its malty, smooth, creamy best.

I heartily recommend a visit to the brewery and in particular the Guinness Storehouse where you can see how the famous beer is brewed. The tour ends high atop the structure in a glass-enclosed bar that, on a clear day, provides panoramic views of Dublin and the expansive brewery itself. And there’s a free pint of Guinness into the bargain!

What better place to end a column focusing on Dublin and the Irish economy than with a few facts about Guinness which is such a huge success story.

Dublin is known worldwide for its famous stout and 250 years after Arthur Guinness founded it, Guinness is the largest brewery in Europe and the beer is available in more than 150 countries. St. James Gate Brewery covers 55 acres and features its own water and electricity supplies.

I thoroughly enjoy Guinness.

Our longtime family physician calls the stout “a meal in a glass.” It can safely be said the beer lives up to its advertising. Guinness is good for you! In order to enjoy Guinness at its best you have to visit Dublin. This was our fourth stay in the Irish capital and with any luck we will be back again before long.

Tessa Tessa was found attempting to break into a Perth hotel room. She had been covered in skunk spray and was looking for a place to wash up. Unfortunately she did not have a credit card to secure the room. Thankfully, a volunteer from LAWS was able to attend the hotel, take her home and deliver her to the shelter the next day.

Unfortunately the stress was too much for young Tessa and she delivered her kittens still born. Now healthy and spayed, Tessa needs a place to call home.

If you have love in your heart and room in your home, please contact the shelter and ask for Tessa.

Shopping for an assisted living facility The decision to move yourself or a family member to an assisted living facility can be difficult. When men and women begin to experience difficulty with everyday activities, such as bathing, dressing or getting around, families may need to explore assisted living facilities.

Millions of people in North America reside in assisted living facilities. The majority of residents in senior living are those who may need assistance with one or two daily activities, but who are otherwise mobile and self-sufficient.

Families faced with moving relatives into assisted living facilities can consider the following pointers to find facilities their loved ones will enjoy.

• Consider the arrangements and services offered. Some facilities offer single rooms, while others provide apartment-style living. Most assisted living facilities provide a variety of services, such as housekeeping, laundry, exercise and wellness classes, and social activities, for their residents. Investigate the offerings at each home you visit, looking for a facility that best suits your loved one’s needs.

• Inquire about staff and their schedules. It is important to know how many staff members a

facility has and how many people are working at any given time. Do staffing schedules differ at night? If a resident has a particular rapport with one staff member, can he or she be requested?

Look for a facility that is well-staffed and adept at dealing with elderly men and women.

• Learn about individual service plans. Many assisted living facilities create individual service plans, or ISPs, for their residents to ensure individualized care is given. These plans are important for the safety and comfort of residents and also can help maximize a person’s independence. Some communities offer memory care programs for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive disorders.

• Consider the security in place. A good assisted living facility has a 24-hour support system in place and immediate access to care. Rooms may be equipped with emergency phones that can be accessed day or night. Many homes have checkin desks so that residents are accounted for when going on outings and for announcing guests.

• Check on licensing. In the United States, each state has its own licensing requirements for assisted living facilities. Confirm a facility is licensed and that it meets the expectations of the local regulatory agency. In addition, check with the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against the home.

Assisted living facilities can meet the needs of people who cannot live independently but do not require the around-the-clock care of a nursing home. TF159514

How to build and maintain strong bones Osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to become weakened and brittle over time, affects millions of people across the globe.

The International Osteoporosis Foundation says an osteoporosis-related fracture occurs roughly once every 3 seconds, accounting for more than 8.9 million fractures a year.

Younger individuals typically heal from fractures more quickly than older adults, who often discover that fractures greatly impede their mobility and quality of life.

Bone health is important at any age, but it is particularly crucial as a person gets older.

Without a strong framework of bones, the body collapses on itself and rates of fracture increase. Fortunately, there are several ways to keep and maintain strong bones.

Bones are largely made up of a protein called collagen, which is bound together by calcium and other trace minerals. Vitamin

D and calcium work in concert, with vitamin D helping the body to absorb calcium so it can find its way into bones. Experts advise getting the right ratio of calcium, protein and vitamin D to safeguard against osteoporosis. The Institute of Medicine suggests that adults get between 600 and 800 international units (IUs) of vitamin D every day, and between 1,000 and 1,300 milligrams of calcium daily. Dairy products, such as low- and nonfat milk, yogurt and cheese, are high in calcium. Dark green vegetables and almonds contain calcium in smaller amounts. Obtaining calcium and vitamin D through natural sources is always preferable, but doctors may suggest supplementation if foods are not providing what a person needs to meet the minimum recommended levels.

Exercise is another important component

of building strong bones. The National Osteoporosis Foundation says 30 minutes of exercise each day can help. Higher-intensity exercises should be mixed with lower-intensity workouts for the best results.

Weight-bearing exercises, such as hiking, dancing and stair-climbing, can build between 1 and 3 percent of bone. An exercise regimen also should include lifting weights or using resistance bands.

Activities that promote good posture and flexibility can help improve balance and alignment of the body. Perform stretches smoothly and slowly after exercising to maintain your range of motion.

Quitting smoking also can promote strong bones. Smoking has been linked to poor skeletal health in both men and women, and the longer one smokes, the greater one’s risk for fracture. HW156239

Home remedies for joint pain can provide relief replace jogging or running, and yoga is great for deep stretching.

• Lose weight. Joint pain is often tied to obesity. Losing just a few pounds can ease up strain on hips, feet and knees.

• Consider hot and cold therapies. Hot treatments will loosen up stiff joints, while cold therapy is best for acute pain relief.

• Include anti-inflammatory foods and beverages in your diet.

Ginger, turmeric, flaxseed, grape juice, and bromelain can alleviate inflammation and stiffness.

Foods such as fatty fish and nuts high in omega-3 fatty acids also will help fight inflammation.

• Go for a massage. Massages should be performed by licensed physical therapists and guided by a doctor’s recommendation.

• Increase magnesium intake.

Magnesium can alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. It is best ingested through dark, leafy greens but also can be taken in supplement form. Magnesium oil can be applied topically to sore joint areas.

Joint pain can impact daily life and make activities less enjoyable. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways that do not require harsh medications to loosen joints and combat pain. LP153963

There’s method behind the magic at Perth’s Studio Theatre Jane Stott

Ever gone to see a community theatre play and thought, ‘How have these local actors become the very believable characters I’m seeing? And how do they remember all those lines of dialogue?’

Lucas Tennant is one of five talented actors in the Studio Theatre’s production of Norm Foster’s Kiss the Moon Kiss the Sun, which premieres this Thursday, Sept. 17. When we asked this seasoned actor how he makes the magic happen on stage, he told us that he listens to the other actors and discovers the flow of the dialogue, the way a musician memorizes a piece of music.

Dialogue is conversation, and conversation is like music, says Lucas. Acting is about reacting – when you move around the stage and interact with the set and the other actors you are conducting a music memory exercise. If you get it right, the scene flows, and you remember the dialogue that flows with it.

In becoming the character of Robert, a man of 35 who has the mental capacity of an eight-yearold, Lucas was able to draw on his own experience of growing up in a family where both parents were social workers. Many of the

guests in their home were clients who would otherwise be alone on holidays, and they became like family. Lucas also talked about observing a neighbour’s 4 year-old son at play, seeing how children think, literally and methodically, and how young minds need the security of routines.

This insight became part of Lucas’s portrayal of Robert.

While Lucas and his fellow actors are on stage, magic is happening behind the scenes, too.

Reiner and Penny Silberhorn work together to bring the playwright’s vision to stage, as the set designer and set dresser in Kiss the Moon Kiss the Sun. In consultation with director Barb Guthrie, they’ve created a feast for our eyes that features four different sets, two of which actually flip around, with one scene on the first side and a different scene on the other. How do they do it? After pouring over the script – and using his background in civil engineering and drafting – Reiner builds a maquette, a detailed scale version of the set, including engineered models of moveable pieces. Usually at this point the set designer would hand his specs to the chief builder, but in this case, that’s Reiner, too – welcome to community theatre!

Next, Penny Silberhorn steps

in and works with the chief set painter, usually the talented artist and photographer Bruce Raby and his assistant, Fiona Bladon.

Then she sources items to embellish the set, everything from furniture to teapots, often asking local antique dealers for the loan of period pieces, or even borrowing items from her own home. At the end of the day, it all comes together in a polished, compelling production the team can be proud of, and the audience thoroughly enjoys.

Don’t miss the Studio Theatre’s current piece of magic, Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun, when it premieres Thursday, Sept. 17. Tickets are $22 at The Book Nook (cash only) 60 Gore Street E., and online or by phone or credit card at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St. (613-267-6817, shadowfax.on.ca) and Tickets Please, (613-485-6434, ticketsplease. ca) a convenience fee applies.

Students eager to carve out traditions at new high school Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

The students at Calvary Christian High School (CCHS) are taking the lead in their education and working collaboratively with staff and parents to craft their own academic futures.

The newly launched secondary school arm of Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) in Franktown officially opened its doors Sept. 8 to its first five students who are excited to be given an opportunity to steer their academic ship Stacey Roy/METROLAND in a way that suits them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new school and we get to kind These faces are the beginning of a new chapter of the tian High School. From left to right: Natalie Pilot, of decide whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen,â&#x20AC;? reFranktown school which this September launched its Grace Bourne, Aubrey Ridenour, Dylan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and marked Grade 9 student, Mackenzie high school programs under the name Calvary Chris- Mackenzie Dicks.

Dicks.

Tom Bourne, principal at the school said the students and school community have been working to create the CCHS colour (navy or dark blue) and its new logo, which is a tree rooted in ground near water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to plant our roots more,â&#x20AC;? explains Grace Bourne, Grade 9 student.

All but one of the five students who took their seats at CCHS have graduated from CCA after experiencing the public school system, and choose to stay within their educational community due to the acceptance and collaborative approach to learning that is available there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like the teachers interacted See CCHS page SF2

Staff proposes plan to replace pedestrian bridges by spring Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Smiths Falls councillors were doing loops - around the canal water system that is - when municipal staff presented a pre-fab carbon fiber bridge option that could see all three bridges in the downtown park replaced for spring next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is great news. Thank you,â&#x20AC;? remarked Coun. Dawn Quinn.

Coun. Lorraine Allen was swift on her heels in thanking staff for restoring the walkable loop around the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown parkland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some-

thing that has been absent since the 2012 flood washed out abutments and compromised the integrity of all three bridges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this community has been missing,â&#x20AC;? Allen said.

This walking route has been popular among residents and tourists alike, particularly boaters, and is spoken of in the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pedestrian Linkages Study (2013) and Smiths Falls Waterfront Re-Development Master Plan (2010). â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a crucial part of the pedestrian linkage for the town,â&#x20AC;? said Art Manhire, director of community ser-

the bridge will take just one month before installation. Staff wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to start the clock just yet on this timeline as councillors expressed a keen interest in the design of the bridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, they can reproduce any surface,â&#x20AC;? including matching the existing stone that currently sits in the water, Manhire said.

There is also an option of placing the town logo along the side of the structure. Councillors asked staff for additional samples of what is available and circulate photos to them prior to the next committee of the whole meeting scheduled for Sept. 28.

The carbon fiber bridges have a lifespan of 50 years, are graffiti resistant and are extremely quick to produce and install. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The spillway and bridge footings can be completed during the bridge production and the whole job could be completed by this fall,â&#x20AC;? the report reads.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very intrigued by that,â&#x20AC;? Coun.

Chris Cummings said of the bridge option.

By the numbers A carbon fiber bridge is estimated to cost $31,100. That coupled with the spillway and footings work that needs to be done for all three bridges (the tenders are still out for this work), staff is confident they can complete the preparatory work and the first bridge that links Turtle Island with the shoreSee BRIDGES page SF4

via his regular transportation. Flegg questions why an ambulance wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t called by the school to take his son to hospital. The parents immediately brought their son to the hospital to be checked out after he came home.

Flegg said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned about what, if any, longterm health implications this may have for his son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the uncertainty thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving me nuts,â&#x20AC;?

Flegg added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An old dirty needle is just as dangerous as a gun.â&#x20AC;?

Const. Dave Murphy with the Smiths Falls Police Service did say a check-up at the hospital would be procedure for anyone who is poked by a needle.

David Coombs, superintendent at the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) responded to Fleggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question regarding his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation home from school and not to the hospital by ambulance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as per police procedure. Coombs said the situation was not deemed life threatening to warrant calling the ambulance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would be a misuse of town resources,â&#x20AC;?

Coombs said.

The young boy was examined at the Smiths Falls hospital site and given a Hep B shot as a precaution, but no other medications were required because: â&#x20AC;&#x153;the risk of him getting anything from the needle was too low,â&#x20AC;? Flegg said.

The familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern about future health issues will hopefully be addressed shortly, as Coombs confirmed that the needle is being tested by the local health unit and that these results will be communicated to the parents when they are available.

He was unable to confirm whether the tip of the needle Flegg said fell off in the schoolyard has been recovered.

Coombs congratulated the school staff for acting swiftly and following school procedure in this situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very pleased with the response of the school,â&#x20AC;? Coombs said.

The Sept. 9 school letter assured parents that a yard sweep was done by school staff on Sept. 4 and

again the morning of the first day of school, but the needle was not found. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stepping that up,â&#x20AC;? Coombs added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extra vigilance is certainly called for in this case.â&#x20AC;?

The school is working with local volunteers trained under the Needle Hunter Program in their efforts to step up yard inspections. A group of volunteers was out at the schoolyard Saturday afternoon, Sept. 12 during which time no needles were found. A small amount of glass was collected and carefully disposed of in a sharps container.

The Needle Hunter Program is run out of the Smiths Falls Municipal Drug Strategy Committee and has been working for the last year to ensure Smiths Falls parks, waterways and public areas are safe from needles.

The idea to work with such a group was warmly received at the school board level earlier last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tremendous idea,â&#x20AC;? Coombs added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really an opportunity to form a partnership.â&#x20AC;?

The school is conducting daily sweeps of the playground and has spoken with all staff and students Sept. 9 about safety procedures and what they should do if they find something unsafe in the yard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to take this opportunity to assure parents and guardians that we take the safety of our students very seriously,â&#x20AC;? Dufortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter reads.

Flegg would like to see the community and school parents be part of this effort, saying it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall entirely on the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big yard,â&#x20AC;? Flegg remarked.

Murphy agrees that vigilance from everyone in the community is an important part of prevention going forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look out for them because they could be anywhere,â&#x20AC;? Murphy said of needles.

The police service regularly conducts a drug awareness program for Grade 4 students and above, which includes a discussion about needles and how important it is to tell an adult and leave sharp items alone if they are found.

Murphy said the police are working with the school and supporting their efforts to keep kids safe.

with the kids and talked and cared about them,â&#x20AC;? said Aubrey Ridenour.

All the students spoke of the overall spirit of acceptance for everyone at the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love how they work together to do things.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing feeling,â&#x20AC;? said Natalie Pilot.

The decision to expand into secondary school learning was made after a couple of years of strategic planning and consideration at the staff level.

Bourne said the school has been fielding interest from CCA parents on an alternative to traditional high school for some time, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the required numbers to make a start until this term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt like the right time,â&#x20AC;? Bourne said.

The humble class size of five has agreeable symmetry to the CCA story, which began in 1997 with just six students and has grown to welcome 150 each day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about it,â&#x20AC;? Bourne said.

If interest remains strong, the school anticipates growing the high school by one grade each year until they graduate their first class in June 2019.

Bourne said there are Grade 8 parents who have expressed interest in CCHS for next year, but this will require more than just the single portable the secondary school works out of this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our plan is to build an addition onto our school in the near future,â&#x20AC;? Bourne said.

An architect is currently creating drawings to present to the school for this addition. There has been a great deal of effort put into creating a separate existence for the high school students and the elementary school, though Bourne said some things, such as masses, are joint.

Curriculum All high school students are getting into the books together for their core subjects such as math, English, science, and have adopted a unique approach to offering the diversity in course offerings often seen at this level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a blended learning model. Students will have the opportunity to hone in on their desired education path through Ministry of Education approved ILC courses (online

learning). During this period each student may be working on a different discipline and the facilitating teacher will be there to guide them in overcoming their challenges and moving on to the next task. Bourne sees this as an added learning opportunity since being self disciplined and learning to regulate yourself and collaborate with peers are all skills in high demand at the post secondary level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big part of learning,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Learning is not all done out of books or via a computer screen at this new offering. CCHS has launched itself this past week by demonstrating its commitment to hands on learning and being active contributors to the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very passionate about giving them different opportunities to see what to do after high school,â&#x20AC;? adds teacher, Nathan Rice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important for them.â&#x20AC;?

The first week of Grade 9 consisted of volunteering to collect non-perishable food items for the Lanark County Food Bank, helping at The Storeroom on Bridge Street (this is the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrift store that is beside Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Store), taking part in a white water rafting trip and embarking on planting a large garden that the students hope to produce vegetables for sale come spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Definitely, we put them to work,â&#x20AC;? Bourne said.

However, the students donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to mind, and are eager to see what their hard work in the garden will bring them in the mild weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pretty exciting, actually,â&#x20AC;? Dicks said of their first week of school.

The Storeroom has helped the school raise necessary funds for the school in the last two years.

Last year alone Bourne said the store provided $9,000 in revenues to the school.

town property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good reason why council had that policy, in my belief,â&#x20AC;?

Coun. Chris Cummings said.

Montague Township Reeve Bill Dobson expressed his displeasure with this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developments, saying both communities have been in discussions for months at the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instigation about sharing services be it police, fire or public works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has to be a two-way thing here,â&#x20AC;? Dobson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talk is cheap.

When it comes to making a decision it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go anywhere.â&#x20AC;?

Montague council will likely be given an update on this matter by monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, but Dobson said the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to remain with their past decision not to extend services will have an impact on future partnership discussions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Smiths Falls is taking a step backwards by making this decision,â&#x20AC;? Dobson said.

Councillors John Maloney and Lorraine Allen were reached Tuesday morning for comment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their decision,â&#x20AC;? Maloney said in regards to the strained shared services discussions.

They have long supported negotiations with neighbouring communities to find innovative solutions, but Maloney noted some of the concerns raised at committee this week do need answering, though he

added he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invest in finding out those answers if he was in the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to work with our neighbours but maybe this is one thing we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work with,â&#x20AC;?

Maloney said.

Allen said the door isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely closed and that a discussion would still be welcome if a specific business interest came forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Historically, our councils have said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case by case,â&#x20AC;? she said.

An OP amendment would trigger a series of studies that would all be paid for by the township. Nicole McKernan, town planner noted staff is confident in the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity within the town boundary, but has no projections if the serviced area extends into other municipalities.

As well, it is not known if the pipes in the ground could withstand additional pressure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything to demonstrate the full impact of that decision,â&#x20AC;? McKernan said.

Maloney said no one has a crystal ball when it comes to economic development in the region, and the town needs to ensure they have a buffer in their service capacity should a large commercial interest present itself. He encourages Montague to make a delegation to Smiths Falls rather than send a letter so that a full discussion and an opportunity to answer questions can begin.

Traditionally, the town has only extended its services following annexation of the property into the boundary of Smiths Falls. Some examples include the Gallipeau Centre and OPP Eastern Region headquarters, and Walmart. Dobson highlighted the annexation of the Gallipeau Centre lands as one example where the township looked regionally and long-term for the betterment of all. Had services not been introduced onto the property the OPP head quarters would not have remained in the community.

Dobson said it is time the town began to think regionally as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way that our two communities are going to be able to sustain ourselves is to work together,â&#x20AC;?

Dobson added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An OP [Official Plan] can be changed.â&#x20AC;?

The one exception to this town policy is the community of Atironto whose residents were required by a ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order to hook into the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services in the mid-1980s due to the compromised nature of the ground water.

Coun. Dawn Quinn asked what rate would the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water be valued at if the extension to the proposed new serviced lands went forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it would be safe to say the precedent has been set with Atironto,â&#x20AC;? who currently pays 175 per cent, said Malcolm Morris, CAO.

Extension of services along the highway was brought up as a concern by those around the horseshoe as there are many vacant properties now sitting in the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My biggest concern is how will it affect our growth?â&#x20AC;? asked Maloney.

McKernan did say the Provincial Policy Statement does encourage intensification before expansion.

Dobson responded saying it could take decades to fill the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial park while the vacant lands on the highway sit vacant and both communities miss out on unknown opportunities. Dobson said the discussion of shared taxes would naturally be part of any partnership with the town.

Town staff will formally respond to the township that the town is not interested in an Official Plan Amendment without annexation discussions.

The extension of services is part of the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall economic development plan. Dobson said the municipality needs to expand its commercial base as they currently have almost entirely residential taxpayers paying the bills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to do it so we could move forward. We need to sustain ourselves,â&#x20AC;? Dobson added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying that we can not develop without services, but having the services as an option is helpful.â&#x20AC;?

Huddleston trial begins Sept. 23 Cost-of-living is a priority, says Green candidate akulp@perfprint.ca

Gerry Huddlestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day(s) in court will come Sept. 23.

The trial for the former Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor (AGH/FVM) Foundation executive director will begin Wednesday, Sept. 23 at the Perth courthouse.

Huddleston, who spent 20 years in senior positions with two hospital foundations, was charged with theft of $4,000 in property from the AGH/FVM Foundation and knowingly attempting to cause Theresa Keil to deal with a forged deposit record as though it were genuine, back in December 2014. He

has pleaded not guilty to all charges and the five-day trial is expected to continue Sept. 24, Oct. 15, Oct. 20 and 21.

According to a media release regarding a defence fund set up by friends to assist with his legal expenses, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Huddleston and his family have expended more than $60,000 in retirement savings.â&#x20AC;?

In an earlier interview, Huddlestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer Craig Rogers said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known him (Huddleston) for 25 years and he has many, many people that support his innocence. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not guiltyâ&#x20AC;Śand everyone will see that when it comes out in court.â&#x20AC;?

None of the charges against Huddleston have been proven in court.

Dog park rezoned goes Nominates sought for Joyce Brennan Award 2015 to Oct. 5 meeting Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

The Smiths Falls Off Leash Dog Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application to receive permanent use status looks promising.

Council will receive the Planning Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endorsement of the request to remove the temporary condition to the landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zoning of OSSpecial Exception, which allows the dog park to operate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congratulations Smiths Falls on the original initiative,â&#x20AC;? commented Rideau Lakes Township Mayor Ron Holman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great facility to have both for Smiths Falls and the Township of Rideau Lakes.â&#x20AC;?

The temporary rezoning was put in place in 2013 to allow the donated lands to be used for the purpose of a dog park. At the time, Holman said there was some concern about noise, but the intervening years have proven these fears to be silenced.

Jason Sands, township staff person confirmed the township has not received any complaints over the park since its opening.

Rideau Lakes Coun. Arie Hoogenboom lives near the park and celebrated the application for permanent use at the Sept. 9 committee meeting

seeing it as a tourism and recreational asset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely busy and extremely well used by visitors and township residents.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased to see this temporary zoning lifted,â&#x20AC;? Hoogenboom said.

The park is largely selfpoliced by those who use the facility.

Jay Brennan, Smiths Falls councillor and founding member of the dog park, attended last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee meeting with town planner, Nicole McKernan to provide an update on the park to date and extend a thank you to the township for their past support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just great,â&#x20AC;? Brennan remarked.

He noted the park is community driven with fundraising efforts taking place year around to match the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funds. These efforts combined to produce $16,000 when the park opened two years ago.

Hoogenboom put forward a suggestion for the township to lend its financial support to the dog park given that local residents are making use of the new asset. No further discussion on this comment was made at the committee level, however, town staff did confirm that the application fees were waived for this project.

The Smiths Falls & District Arts & Culture Council (SFDACC) is calling for nominations for the fifth annual Joyce Brennan Award for outstanding contributions to art and culture in the Smiths Falls Area.

In honour of the late Joyce Brennan, who was a founding member of the Rideau Canal Museum Board and the Heritage House Museum, a Town Councillor, as well as a founding member of the SFDACC board, this award will be presented at an evening reception Oct. 23 at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre.

The first Joyce Brennan Award was presented posthumously to Joyce in 2011. It was accepted by her son, town councilor, Jay Brennan, at the newly-built memorial centre.

Pat Foulkes won the award in 2012. Her

Tender goes out this week to remove Confederation Bridge deck

Council will receive a report on the tender costs to remove the drivable deck on Confederation Bridge within three weeks following a tender process that begins this week. The report will detail costs and potential options available to town. Staff will also bring forward the in house traffic study completed on the surrounding roads since the bridge has been closed.

for the new East Meets West (formerly Chuckles Jack) on Russell Street (formerly Manhattan Bar and Grill).

The grant will speak to three elements: façade improvements, interior restoration and a reduction in building permit fees.

“I hope this is one of many. I think it’s really going to help the revitalization of the downtown,” remarked Coun. Lorraine Allen.

This is the first project to move through the CIP process. The evaluation committee recommended spending half of its 2015 budget on this project so they may have some remaining for other projects that are currently in the pre-application phase, but that staff feels may come to the committee table before year’s end. The application will move forward to the next council session.

First CIP project is well received There was unanimous support for a $25,000 Community Im- Hydro dam application provement Plan grant application gets partial support

Councillors agreed with staff’s recommendation to provide written support for a hydro electric dam at Old Sly’s Dam at a cost of $300. Hummingbird Power Inc. is making application through the FIT 4.0 program to operate the dam. A secondary request for the Abbott Street Dam is not being supported by councillors due to staff concern about the location near the town’s two primary water intakes for the system. The letters aid the company in moving through the ministry program quicker, but may not have any impact on whether a project moves forward or not.

Bellamy Farms agreement approved Council approved a subdivision bylaw that could see construction of the Bellamy Farm housing development begin this fall. The agreement includes $30,000 paid to the town in lieu of parkland. A Gallipeau Centre Traffic Assessment will be condevelopment plan update ducted during phase two of the A bylaw to adopt a Develop- project when the Ferrara Drive ment Permit Policy for the Gal- extension is undertaken. lipeau Centre will be coming to the next council session Sept. 21. Financial plans overage This is the first time the town has receives approval enacted a Development Permit Council awarded the $107,990 (plus HST) tender to complete three financial plans for the Town of Smiths Falls to Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. last week.

“They’re all related so it seemed to make sense to put them together,” said Malcolm Morris, CAO. Phase two of the Asset Manowner took possession with agement Plan, a long term finanno interest. It was very clear to James Benda, property owner, that ground floor residential was more in demand than commercial space at the time.

“It’s been filled for almost that entire time [four years the property has had the temporary use] except for one tenant turn over,” McKernan said.

The original temporary zoning was granted on the grounds that it would be an additional acceptable use, but that commercial was ultimately most desirable.

However, McKernan confirmed this week that the property in question at 18-22 Main St. E. has not been commercially advertised since 2011 when it received temporary-use approval.

A single property can only receive temporary zoning for up to 10 years consecutively before council must make a permanent decision. In answer to a councillor’s question, Benda noted the reason he is seeking temporary zoning is because his permanent application was amended last year to temporary without his knowledge.

“I’m just taking direction from council,” he said.

McKernan noted during her presentation to committee that the property does seem to be at the edge of the pedestrian commercial stripe with a car wash, KFC and Laundromat beyond it, however Maloney disagreed.

Ground floor residential gets one-year extension support Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Smiths Falls town councillors cut back a three-year temporary approval for ground floor residential on Main Street to one year siting concern over visual appeal and the erosion of the downtown core.

“If we lose our downtown we’ve lost the heart of our town,” said Coun. Dawn Quinn prior to supporting a one-year extension.

“I sure hope council would never approve something like that.”

The proposed temporary zoning use has been in place for the last four years, and received staff support for an additional three years beginning this October.

Coun. Jay Brennan added his voice of support to this, noting the property meets the additional parking requirements for this site specific exception, and within the last year has created a landscaped area for tenants to enjoy away from the street façade.

“It’s not a blanket policy for Smiths Falls,” Brennan added.

“It’s really not a difficult decision to make. For me, it’s quite clear that this should be supported.”

Coun. Joe Gallipeau agreed, noting the window decals covering the view into the residential units were appealing, but these efforts to mask its true use were not enough for Coun. John Maloney who has seen tenants smoking and drinking at street level

over the past four years.

“You can’t control tenants. To me, it doesn’t look nice,” Maloney said.

He shared the Smiths Falls Downtown Business Association’s concerns that this temporary use will encourage similar applications for downtown core properties, noting the Heritage Symposium hosted by the Smiths Falls Heritage Committee featured guest speakers who disagreed with the use of ground floor residential.

Nicole McKernan, town planner did note that in the last four years Main Street’s vacancy rate has remained consistent at 44 per cent.

Kristina Crosbie, vice chair of the DBA formally filed a letter of concern Sept. 8, 2015 with the town outlining the DBA’s concerns. This letter speaks to the detracting nature of residential amongst commercial uses, particularly for tourists. As well, the DBA felt it is important to ensure commercial stock be made available in the core so that the commercial core will be vibrant once more.

Needle in schoolyard is cause for concern

ne of the biggest discussion topics in town this week is the Sept. 8 needle that a student at Chimo Elementary School found on the playground.

The health and safety of our children is priority for every parent and the community at large, so the amount of discussion on social media about this incident is not surprising. After multiple phone calls and interviews the Record News joined in this discussion by publishing online an article about the incident. The content of this article (found in this week’s newspaper) has been questioned by some members of the public, and I want to take the opportunity to set the record straight.

The comments on social media sites have said we omitted certain information (a child being pricked by the needle) and wrote that the children were fine when one child was pricked. Firstly, I wasn’t given this level of detail about the children so I didn’t include These lovely ladies were all decked out for the 1977 Settlers Days garden party.

STACEY ROY For the Record for agreeing to talk to me about this.

They were the only ones who could have given me this critical information.

Critical for all parents (including this one) who are wondering how such an incident can be prevented.

I have a child at Chimo who started her first year of Grade 1 this year and is known for wanting to help keep the earth clean. Knowing my girl, the first thing I did after she got home was to remind her that unknown and sharp objects aren’t to be touched.

I absolutely agree with the student’s parents when they call for a community initiative to regularly check our playgrounds in the community. It’s a great idea and one that needs a lot of bodies.

Smiths Falls has the Needle Hunter Program, which is a small group of trained volunteers who walk known areas to ensure no needles are around. I think there is merit in opening this type of service to all schools, because let’s be honest this could have happened anywhere including downtown or at the local park.

The Needle Hunter Program volunteers were out in the rain last Saturday taking a walk over the grounds to see what they could find. I have been pleased to be a trained volunteer with the program, and was happy to head to the local elementary school last Saturday afternoon. I have been to the school daily for the last two years, but it was only on Saturday that I realized how big the playground really is. It’s easily one of the largest I’ve ever seen.

We didn’t find any needles that day, but a few pieces of glass that were promptly and appropriately disposed of in a sharps container.

I’m glad the conversation has begun around how we, as a community, can be part of the solution in keeping our kids safe. I’m just sorry it came at the fright of a local family.

Montague Township Reeve Bill Dobson stands with Grace Buffam at the Memorial Park on Rogers Stevens Road. The park and its Wall of Honour will celebrate a grand unveiling this Sept. 27 from 2-4 p.m. All are welcome.

The Sept. 27 ceremony will provide the venue to formally acknowledge a long-time township staff person and active community volunteer.

“We will be unveiling a plaque for Campbell McDermid,” Dobson confirmed.

McDermid started off his career with the township as a bylaw officer, but is likely most well known for his impressive 30- to 40-year career as a volunteer firefighter in Montague.

Dobson said dedicated staff members like McDermid will have a place of honour on one side of the wall, while the historic builders will hold up the other side. While the grand opening is a celebration for what has been accomplished to date, the Wall of Honour is by no means com-

plete.

“We will continue the project as we get more funds,” Dobson said.

This phase of the wall was funded with a $6,000 Local Initiatives grant from Valley Heartland CFDC. As well, local resident, Grace Buffam donated $1,000 towards the work.

Buffam was former reeve of Montague and had for many years dreamed of erecting such a wall in the township as a way to acknowledge the work of yesterday and deepen community pride. Dobson said he hopes other residents will jump on board and contribute to the ongoing fundraising effort. For more information please call the township office at 613-2837478.

Montague Township will be looking back and applauding those residents who built the community when they unveil their founders and builders Wall of Honour at Memorial Park the afternoon Sept. 27.

The special event will take place on the grounds of the township office on Roger Stevens Drive from 2 to 4 p.m. and will feature a blessing by Rev. Ron Hunt and a short address from local historian, Glen Lockwood.

Reeve Bill Dobson hopes the ceremony will serve as a jumping off point for local residents to look into the history of their community and show their pride for those residents who laid the foundation for today.

“I see it as a living monument of preserving history,” Dobson adds. “So people see the whole history of Montague.”

The unveiling will show 18 plaques with the last names of families who lived in Montague from 1821 to 1901. Dobson said the criteria to have your family name included on the wall are to have your name appear in three consecutive census records for the township. The hope is to lift these names off the paper and bring them back to life in their home community by acknowledging their impact years after their passing. However, some wall names are closer to the collective memory than others.

Upcoming ALS walk provides patients and families with necessary supports Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

This September’s Walk for ALS at Lower Reach Park will help provide necessary equipment for families struggling with this insidious illness.

The Sept. 26 event will welcome walkers to register beginning at 9 a.m. with opening ceremonies taking place at 10 a.m. The walk will begin immediately afterwards.

The annual fundraiser provides necessary dollars for support equipment for families, as well as research dollars to find treatment options and hope for a cure. Three Smiths Falls area families credit the ALS Association and their equipment pool with helping to reduce the strain of this debilitating illness by providing aids free of charge to families. These items are expensive and when they break down, can cause a panic for those who rely on them so knowing there is a resource for replacement if incredible.

“It’s one less stressor off our plates,” said Mark Breton whose wife, Tammy has been battling ALS for some time now.

It comes down to the day-to-day realities of life for families of ALS. Mrs. Breton is unable to change positions in bed so she has a fluxuating mattress that changes the pressure points every so often to ensure she doesn’t get bedsores.

The equipment pool also has wheelchairs, commodes, hospital beds, etc. All three families have honoured their loved ones wishes to keep them at home, but this decision hasn’t been an easy one in a health care system that provides just 52 to 56 hours a week of covered nursing care, which all families are saying isn’t enough.

“They bottom line is I had three hours twice a week that I could really get away from here,” said Fred Haughton, husband of the late Bunny Haughton who died in 2009.

Haughton considers himself lucky because he was able to hire two nursing students and have the support of family friends who came in and sat with his wife some nights.

“They were the best help I got,” Haughton said of the students.

Even at that, the Smiths Falls area husband never felt at ease and was always the second line of defense if his wife had breathing problems or equipment failures through the night.

“I never ever slept through the whole night. If I got three hours at a stretch that was great,” Haughton recalls.

Mr. Breton plans to bring the plight of ALS and all families dealing with chronic illness to the minds of provincial and federal politicians this winter and ask both levels of government to release more funds to cover the costs of home care.

“The government needs to realize at all levels the consequences of people like Clark [Lavender] and Tammy. They need help,” Breton said.

ALS is a progressive neuromuscular disease that leaves a person paralyzed and requiring 24hour, one-on-one care. When the government covered 52 hours is up families tap into their insurance coverage, and if none, pay out of pocket for nursing care. To put this into perspective, 52 hours breaks down to eight hours Monday to Friday and six hours over the weekend leaving no time to do grocery shopping or have time to one’s self if used for sleep.

There are many reasons to lose sleep when someone you love is sick. One of Breton’s biggest fears is getting the common cold or flu and not being able to care for his wife. That is why nursing staff is so important.

Breton are also calling on the governments to address the lack of back-up nursing staff who are trained in the specific care ALS patients need in the event their regular professional is sick. Not only is

“We have to train them totally with everything,” Mrs. Lavender said.

In addition to medical needs such as a breathing tube, new care staff also has to get up to speed

on daily schedules and specific requests from patients. In Clark Lavender’s case, he likes to be turned every three hours through the night so he doesn’t have bedsores.

County preparing to issue amended RFP for new paramedic station Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

While there is some more tweaking to do, Lanark County council is coming closer to issuing a new request for proposal (RFP) for its Smiths Falls paramedic station.

County councillors were given an update on the matter during the Sept.

9 corporate services committee meeting in Perth by senior financial analyst Kevin Wills, but have asked staff to make some changes and bring a report back to a future corporate services committee meeting.

Back on June 17, the corporate services committee endorsed awarding the original RFP to Guy Saumure & Sons for $2,472,000. Saumure proposed to build the station on Elmsley Street, across from the Smiths Falls site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. At that meeting, developer Shawn Argue of Argue Construction pointed out issues he had with the RFP’s rating process. Argue’s bid, to locate the station next to the OPP Eastern Region headquarters on County Road 43, was second to Saumure.

Then, after further discussion at the June 24 county council session, council cancelled the RFP and go back to the drawing board.

Wills said since that time, staff have gone back to make a few key changes, most notably expanding the location to permit a site outside of Smiths Falls, while the previous RFP sought for land solely within it. As such, the proposal can be made for a site on well and septic, rather than the previous stipulation it had to be on town water and wastewater services.

“In the new RFP, the building can be located within the geographic town of Smiths Falls, Drummond/North Elmsley or Montague as long as it is 5km driving distance from the Smiths Falls Town Hall and on the Smiths Falls side of the railway line at Rivington Rally Honda to ensure response times remain accurate,” he explained.

Councillors questioned why the railway line came into play with this RFP. “When I call the ambulance and it comes from Smiths Falls, what about calls from the north side of Smiths Falls? I’m not sure why this is in there,” said Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith deputy reeve).

Wills said this station is to replace the Maple Avenue one and is to serve the urban residents of Smiths Falls, where the majority of calls take place.

“We’re concerned about response times for the urban setting and have to be within that five to six minute timeline,”

he said. “If a train is broken down on the railway tracks, we wouldn’t be able to achieve that.”

In addition to the Smiths Falls station, there are bases in Perth and Carleton Place.

On the issue of the railway tracks, Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve), corporate services chair, suggested the RFP could include a weighted system so “if they propose a site on one side of the tracks, they get 75 per cent (of the points), but if it’s on the Smiths Falls side, they get 100 per cent.”

“You don’t tempt fate building a base on the opposite side of the railway tracks where the highest volume of calls are,” stressed the county’s emergency services coordinator, Rick Hannah.

Coun. Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills mayor) said he was concerned about the base being on well and septic services, which would trigger a geotechnical study. “Someone is going to have to pay for that,” he said. “A planner would ask for that, so if you’re going to go that route, you should have that (in the RFP), but it’s costly.”

The original proposal sought room for future expansion, but Wills said this has been deleted. “We decided to take that out because with five bays, that’s an increase over the current bays,” Wills noted. “It should meet our needs

for the next 25 years.”

The provision of a stormwater management plan has also been omitted “as this must be supplied by a contractor prior to the issuance of a building permit,” Wills stated in his report.

“What we’re trying to do is prevent a whole bunch of costs for the bidder,” he said.

Coun. Brian Stewart (Lanark Highlands mayor) said he believed such a plan should be included. “... (A plan) should all be up front and laid out at the very beginning, otherwise they will have a lot of costs at the construction phase,” he stated.

“A stormwater management plan must be completed before construction, so we know they’re going to pay for it, but they’re out that money if they don’t get the tender,” pointed out warden Keith Kerr (Tay Valley reeve).

The issue of shelving units and storage cabinets, previously required to be provided by the bidder, will also now be handled by the county.

Areas in the RFP that remain the same include the 7,300 square-foot, five-bay floor plan and the ability to be heated by natural gas.

Coun. Lorraine Allen (Smiths Falls councillor) was unsure of why the original RFP was rejected and put forth a motion to have it reinstated and the

site remain within the Town of Smiths Falls. Seconded by McLaughlin, it was defeated.

“I think staff has it right on the new proposed RFP. It could allow for one or the other,” Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) said.

“The infrastructure being provided by us is arguably better than starting from scratch. The entire town of Smiths Falls is a settlement area and if you look at the Provincial Policy Statement for 2015, they are discouraging us from sprawl and going into rural areas...

I’m surprised you made these changes and I don’t know why you did,” Allen stated.

“It was the direction of council,” Kidd said.

While financial implications aren’t known until the RFP closes, the province provides grant funding for ambulance services of 50 per cent of the actual costs for the previous year. “...

Due to this timing delay, the estimated net budget impact is $102,000,” Wills stated in his report. “In 2018 Lanark County will receive funding based on the new paramedic station costs and the net budget impact is estimated to be only $50,000 more than the current location.”

The occupancy date for the new station is set for Feb. 1, 2017.

“I just reinvented myself,” she said.

The emotional strain is more than just the challenge of watching a loved one suffer. Caregivers are asked to become de-facto nursing staff and welcome strangers into their home 24 hours a day without a break. Lavender said the feeling of constantly entertaining is trying.

She doesn’t like using the television at night because she doesn’t want to disturb the nursing staff.

“The only room in the whole house that’s mine is my bedroom,” she said.

Despite these many challenges every family member was glad to have their spouse with them at home and dearly wished to have more home care hours allotted so that both could realize a quality of life.

Clark has lost his voice, but his nurse read his lips and spoke on his behalf when he talked about the impact his insurance coverage has had on his quality of life.

“He would not be here if it wasn’t for his insurance,” Brady said.

Haughton agrees with this, saying if he hadn’t had the means to pay for health care he would have had no choice but to put his wife in palliative care, which is located out of the community in Ottawa.

cared for Lavender for 15 years and agrees with Mrs. Lavender on the challenge of finding replacements.

“There’s so much you have to know somebody can’t come in here and know that,” Brady said.

Haughton wonders if a private home care system would provide the efficiencies families need.

Haughton said when his wife was first diagnosed, a nurse took him aside and told him to be prepared because those living with the condition can lose their sense of empathy and turn on their loved ones out of frustration.

Breton knows the cost of not investing in your own mental health. Even today, he has a lot of guilt and sees professionals monthly to unpack his emotional build up.

“For me it’s emotionally tired,” Breton adds. “Every day I feel guilty. I could still eat good food and I could still go out if I wanted to and poor Tammy couldn’t. I wanted her to be with me.”

Both he and Lavender have retired since their loved ones’ ALS has required daily care. In Breton’s case, he was laid off from his high tech job at the time and decided to go back to school to train as a PSW. “I did that in order to better care for Tammy,” Breton said.

For Lavender, her self-care came in the form of finding new activities such as bridge and travel to keep her

Rotary Collegiate Hall, located in the Collegiate Court Building (the former Smiths Falls High School)

In Thunder Bay, Ontario, recently, while giving a talk, I suddenly found my mouth watering. I mentioned that I was just 150 miles away from Quetico Park where I had spent two months alone years ago doing fish research. I said that the highest priced meal in the world could not compete with a yellow pickerel cooked over a camp fire. Which now brings me to the health benefits of eating fish today.

We are often told we should eat fish as they’re a good choice for lean Dr. Gifford-Jones protein. People in Iceland eat a whopping 220 pounds of fish a year. The average North American eats a paltry 16 pounds annually, including fish sticks! This difference is in part due to the current worry about potential dangers.

For instance, mercury accumulates in the lean tissue of some fish and it can cross the placental barrier during pregnancy.

So too much mercury can cause fetal brain damage. In adults, excessive amounts can injure the heart.

Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are found in the fatty tissue of fish and animal examination shows they can cause cancer. Researchers are concerned that these agents may be carcinogenic in humans and also trigger neurological problems.

But there are still many health benefits from eating fish. Two major research groups, the Harvard School of Public Health and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) analyzed the pros and cons of fish in the diet.

Harvard researchers found adequate evidence that eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA), two omega-3 fatty acids in fish, were important for good vision, the immune response, normal skin physiology and for fetal and infant development. And aboriginals who have a high dietary intake of fish have less heart disease.

Another study reported in Archives of Ophthalmology showed that women who ate fish three times a week had a 42 percent lower risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older people.

A study at the University of Pittsburgh should also prompt more people to visit fish counters. MRI scans of the brains of those eating broiled or baked fish, but not fried, had greater volumes of gray matter in the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes.

This matter is responsible for memory and learning. These are the areas severely affected in Alzheimer’s disease.

So although there is some contamination from eating fish, the benefit far outweighs the small risk. A healthy diet should include two three-ounce servings of fish a week.

One cautionary note for pregnant and nursing mothers is that mercury is more likely to be present in the flesh of large long-living fish that prey on smaller short-living ones. So mothers should decline mackerel, shark, swordfish and tilefish also known as golden bass.

But smaller fish contain large amounts of the fatty acid DHA essential for fetal development. Pregnant women should therefore eat 12 ounces of other types of fish and shellfish each week.

The rest of us should know that not all fish are created equal. For instance, a three-ounce serving of farmed salmon contains over 2,000 milligrams (mg) of omega-3 fats. But the same amount of shrimp eaten more than any other type of seafood by North Americans has only 250 mg., catfish 150mg. and lobster 71 mg.

Arctic char provide more vitamin D than any other fish, with scallops a close second. Oysters are the highest in vitamin B12 and iron. You can’t beat tuna for its high potassium content and for calcium no fish can match crawfish. And if you’re looking for fish with high amounts of magnesium, which protects against fatal cardiac arrhythmias, order tuna or crawfish. But if you suffer from “Cholesterolphobia” don’t order crawfish, scallops or arctic char.

Looking at the total picture, eating fish still provides a healthy meal. But although fish is good for us, humans have not been so kind to fish. We’re continuing to pollute their environment and fish stocks are falling.

Do I have a last request before I leave this planet? Yes, it’s a Heaven with lots of lakes loaded with yellow pickerel. I hope the Almighty is listening.

Council approves unexpected costs ahead of this winter season Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

The town has approved $100,742 out of budget expenditure to fit their existing vehicles with a plow harness and snow plow attachment and have them ready for this snow season.

The purchase from the lowest bidder, Capital Road Technology Parts Source in Carleton Place, received approval Sept. 8 to bypass the procurement bylaw in favour of three staff sought quotes due to the impending snow season.

“We have to do something to prepare for this winter season,” Mayor Shawn Pankow said, adding the alternative “of each just doesn’t make a lot of sense.”

Traditionally, the town has employed two graders to remove ice and snow from town streets, however both graders are aged and struggle to be reliable.

CAO Malcolm Morris’ Sept. 8 report to council noted the purchase of these attachments will mean $8,000 savings in maintenance costs for one of the graders this year, as well as a $8,500 a month cost for renting a replacement grader for the work should one of the town owned assets fail. Coun. John Maloney requested confirmation that the town’s existing fleet is the right size and is generally suitable for snow removal.

“For an urban environment like ours, we believe it’s an appropriate equipment,” Morris replied.

Staff also noted at least one of the town-owned graders would have to be replaced this year in order to keep up with snow removal demands through town. The staff report also highlights the potential of

saving $39,500 off the purchase price by using anticipated savings from the replacement of a sidewalk snow plow (a 2015 budgeted item).

Morris said this new use of existing rolling stock will reduce their life span, but will be an efficient use of existing town assets. The graders were not needed during the summer months, as the town doesn’t maintain gravel roads. Council members applauded town staff for thinking outside of the norm to find a financially responsible solution.

“I’m very pleased with you looking at different methods of snow plowing,” Coun. Dawn Quinn said.

Maloney took the discussion of environmental and financial savings in the public works department to another level when he noted potential alternatives to road surfacing and salting processes. Previously this councillor asked staff to look into using cement on Foster Avenue instead of asphalt because of its longer lifespan. Last week, Maloney added to this conversation by requesting staff to look into Thawz (an alternative to salt).

In addition to posing no harm to the environment, Thawz products are advertised on their website (www.thawz.ca) to be non-toxic and safe for pets and wildlife. Maloney also noted this product is believed to not need dry storage such as the often proposed but not yet supported salt shed on Air Care Drive (at a proposed cost of $660,000 in this year’s budget discussions). Further discussions on these potential adjustments to work will be coming back to committee through a staff report for further discussion.

“I was beginning to avoid social gatherings. That’s when I finally decided to get hearing aids. I am so pleased with the improvement that they have made.”

Bears and Canadians split home-and-home CCHL series openers Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

The Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears had a stellar night Sept. 11 as they defeated their Highway 15 rivals, the Carleton Place Canadians, 5-2 in their CCHL home opener in front of 550 fans.

It could have been the new uniforms.

The Bears are sporting marooncoloured gear with white stripes on the arms. The BEARS logo is on the front of the jerseys along with the boys’ numbers. Their names and numbers are also on the backs of their shirts.

Still no sign of the Bear head logo, though, which is a blast from the past and one of the most recognizable uniforms in the CCHL. According to Walt Dubas, the team’s assistant coach, the uniforms are new this year and will be used on occasion as a third uniform. As for when they’ll be worn, that has yet to be determined.

Sunday in Carleton Place, the Canadians returned the favor with their own home opener win blasting the Bears late in the game to win that one, 7-5.

Dubas said it was a good weekend of hockey all around.

“We went into the weekend wanting to see how we compared to the two-time defending champion and we considered it a favourable result,” he said.

Early in Carleton Place, Dubas said it was “very competitive and fairly physical with a 4-4 tie into the third; they scored three, we got one back. We know we can compete with them.”

Dubas said they know what they

have to work on as a team – redirecting turnovers and improving defense.

Smiths Falls 5 Carleton Place 2 During first period action Friday night, Josh LeBlanc had the Bears lone goal, but the teams kept it respectable. LeBlanc was assisted by Sterling Bray, who lit the lamp on a few occasions himself, at the 4:18 mark.

Early into the second, the Canadians tied the score with Brett Murray’s unassisted goal at the 4:36 mark.

But the Bears tamed their counterparts with three unanswered goals to close the period with a 4-1 lead.

Scoring for the Bears were Michael McKenney from Tyler Creagh at 6:34, then it was Bray with a pair. LeBlanc, John Curran, Brett Garvey and Cole Busschaert were credited with helpers.

Some jousting by the Canadians in the second period resulted in their coach, Jason Clarke, asking a couple of his players to leave the ice.

Third period action saw the Bears put an even larger lead on the board with LeBlanc’s second of the game just 1:28 into the period.

He was assisted by Darius Gibson.

Jordan Larson had the final goal of the game when he scored at 3:26. Assisting were Lucas Batt and Maxime St. Pierre.

The winning netminder was Evan DeBrouwer with 27 saves, while Adrian Clark took the loss turning away 33 shots.

The Canadians were hit with 20

Smiths Falls had 10 minutes in the sin bin on five minor infractions.

The stars of the game were Bray and LeBlanc for Smiths Falls and Murray for Carleton Place.

“DeBrouwer was good for us,” Dubas said. “When you play Carleton Place the first time, they (the Bears) had a strong game. There were no nerves and they played a strong aggressive game.”

Heading back to Carleton Place Sunday, the confines of the rink a little smaller made for a tougher match for the Bears.

“We’ll take that experience,”

Dubas said.

Carleton Place 7 Smiths Falls 5 Smiths Falls drew first blood Sunday afternoon when Corey Caruso scored at the 6:30 mark. He was assisted by Curran and Kenney.

Carleton Place didn’t let that go unnoticed as they scored at 13:15 to tie the match, then just seconds later, they had the go-ahead goal.

Nicholas Carrier socred from Bryce VanHorn, who assisted on both markers. Connor Merkley got the helper credit on Andrew Dodson’s goal.

The Learn to Curl program brings rewards Smiths Falls Curling and Squash Club is hosting a Learn to Curl program with information available at the open house to be held on Thursday, Oct. 8 from 3 to 9 p.m.

The Learn To Curl program was launched in the fall of 2014 with the assistance of the Ottawa Valley Curling Association. The Learn to Curl instructors, lead by Mary Jayne Kerfoot, taught novice and returning to curling participants the basics of the curling game.

The key elements of the program were rules of play, game etiquette, balanced delivery, stick delivery, brushing, on ice safety and basic game strategy.

Kerfoot said: “It was a rewarding experience to observe the growth in skill development and to be a part of their enthusiasm for the game.”

Participant Linda Dorman, a former member, stated that the program was an excellent way to get back into the sport.

Steve Hillier was motivated to learn how to curl after volunteering at the 2014 Tankard. Hillier, an avid squash member, felt the instructors and the course material were excellent.

The 2015 - 2016 Learn to Curl program is being offered this fall at a cost of $150 for 12 sessions.

Come out to the open house for more information about the Smiths Falls Curling & Squash Club. A reception featuring Winery Pelee Island wine tasting, door prizes, squash & curling vendors and more will start at 7 p.m. All are welcome!

Thursday men’s twilight news The September 10 edition of the SFG&CC Thursday Night Men’s Twilight was sponsored by Blair and Sons, featuring a late season scramble format and more prizes than could fit in a pine box.

Kris Kerfoot, Jeff Smail, Chad Eve, and Ron Brus earned honors for posting the best score on the front nine. On the back side, Doug Hart, Steve Hull, Geoff Watson, George Thomson, and Hugh Gillespie cruised to victory, showing they’re all tuned up for the Closing.

The Roosteraunt closest to the pin prizes went to Rod Hunt and Josh Mustard for their tee shots on holes 8 and 18. Speaking of the Roosteraunt, word has it one of our more flamboyant teams will be making a special appearance there on Closing day to fuel up for the big event. You’ll know them when you see them.

Dave Fleming and Dan McKenney won the Burns’ Jewelers gift certificates for the best second shots on holes 5 and 12. Dan also launched the Town & Country Chrysler longest drive on hole number 13, with Steven Blair doing the same on hole number 6.

Ian Devonshire won a round of applause, Gary Martin a toast, and the pro shop prizes went to Al Gauthier and Greg Hull. Greg usually dresses up in something outrageous for the Closing too. What? Those are his real clothes?

Hunger Awareness Week aims to start the conversation Parenting expert to speak in Smiths Falls Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

When Food Bank Canada launches Hunger Awareness Week next week they are going to where all conversations seem to start these days – social media.

Karen Krugel, spokesperson for Food Banks Canada said this year’s campaign, which runs from Sept.

21 to 25, will be strategically igniting conversation around key issues of hunger in Canada in the hopes of translating that discussion into action.

“Social media is a powerful place to talk about the issue of hunger,” Krugel said. “We’re asking Canadians to take a moment out of their busy lives to pause and consider the issue.”

The Smiths Falls Community Food Bank (SFCFB) has most recently begun to harness the power of the internet with a newly revamped website (www.smithsfallscommunityfoodbank.org) and weekly Facebook updates on their most current needs to fill the shelves.

Christine Cloutier-Gunn, SFCFB chair said the response from their Facebook posts is almost imme-

diate. She sees this medium as an opportunity to reach out to the younger professional who may be considering a donation.

“If they see it on social media it seems to have more of an impact for them,” Cloutier-Gunn said.

The food bank’s new website caters even more to this segment of the population than ever before with the introduction of a secure donation button that will welcome donors to support the local food bank through canadahealth.org.

The local food bank continues to experience an increase in new families who come through their doors be it for a one-time box during a rough period or for more continued support. She urges the community to understand that many of their clients may work and can’t make enough to cover all their bills or they are so sick they are unable to work. The reality of increased medication costs is a stark one for many local residents.

“It becomes, do I deal with my health issue or do I eat?” CloutierGunn said of their client base. “At times it can cross from all kinds of education backgrounds. It could be your neighbour and you might not even know it.”

Ales on the Rails at Craft Beer Festival

The Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario and Smiths Falls & District Crime Stoppers have partnered for the first annual Craft Beer Festival of Eastern Ontario.

Join us on Sept. 19 between 12 and 7 p.m. to sip some ale alongside the rails from some of the best craft brewers in Ontario, complemented by some of the best food and music in the area.

Hosted at the Railway Museum in Smiths Falls, the event offers a unique and intimate setting for craft beer enthusiasts and foodies alike.

Admission packages including limited edition glasses and coasters as well as complimentary beer tickets can be purchased in advance online by visiting our website or regular admission can be purchased at the event. Individual sampling tickets will be sold on site.

There will be free parking for the Festival at Cornelia Court, located at 91 Cornelia St. W., with a shuttle bus running all day to the museum.

For more information, visit our website at www.rmeo.org or call the museum (613) 283-5696.

Please note that this is a 19+ event.

The 2014 Hunger Report from Food Banks Canada speaks to what the local food bank is experiencing when it reported that one in six of Canada’s food bank clients is currently or was recently working.

For this reason, the report challenges the government to think differently when they tackle the issue of hunger in Canada. Specifically, the report listed five action items that will help those struggling in our current recession: 1. Invest in affordable housing; 2. Look at Northern Canada’s food insecurity issue; 3. Replace the ineffective social assistance program; 4. Provide sufficient support for low income families with children; and, 5. Help Canadians with low literacy levels upgrade their skills for today’s job market.

Cloutier-Gunn assured residents that the food bank does not require any financial information when you register – just proof of residency to ensure you are in their catchment area.

Another thing that’s new is the introduction of a national database.

Cloutier-Gunn explained when an individual registers with the food

bank they will be asked a series of questions (similar to those asked annually during the Hunger Count initiative) and then not again.

Cloutier-Gunn said this way, the national food bank organization can pull together statistics at any time to present to producers or grocery store chains who regularly support food banks.

How you can help Local residents can lend a hand by supporting one of the fall food drives in town, visiting the food bank and learn about their program and what they offer and keep up to date through their Facebook page and website.

“We have a very, very generous community,” Cloutier-Gunn added.

“It’s an ongoing need for donations.”

The fall drives very much help the food banks by stocking their shelves to get them through the bitterly cold months of winter.

Regular food bank donations can be found at the food bank itself (93 Russell St. E.), Andress’ Your Independent Grocer, Food Basics in the mall, The Garden Market (115 William St. W.) and Walmart in Smiths Falls.

The Connections program (part of Lanark Renfrew Health and Community Services) and Children’s Resources on Wheels (CROW) are proud to announce presentations by Dr. Sian (pronounced Sea-Ann) Phillips.

Phillips will be presenting two seminars, one for parents and one for professionals, at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls on Oct. 7. The presentations are Engaging Children and Families to Help Build Positive Relationships and Engaging with Children: How to parent with purpose.

Phillips is a certified Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) psychologist, consultant, and trainer in private practice in Kingston.

She uses the PACE method (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy).

PACE is a way of thinking, feeling, communicating and behaving that aims to make the child feel understood,

confident, and secure. It is based upon how parents connect with their children.

She consults with local agencies helping them develop more attachment focused perspectives and treatment.

She is an adjunct professor at Queens University, providing clinical placements for students who wish to study trauma and attachment issues.

The parents presentation on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 5:30 p.m. invites parents to come explore ways to connect with your child to build a relationship that will build on their strengths and abilities.

The seminars are free to attend, light refreshments will be available.

Please register early by contacting CROW at 613283-0095 ext. 300. If you require transportation and/or childcare please let reception know when you register.

Leeds-Grenville MPP proud to take on new responsibilities as deputy leader Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark will be taking on new responsibilities at Queen’s Park now that the Legislative Assembly’s fall session opened Monday, Sept. 14.

Clark has been appointed Deputy Leader by Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown and will also serve as Critic for Tourism, Culture and Sport in Brown’s shadow cabinet.

“I’m proud of the confidence

Patrick has placed in me to work alongside him and our Caucus as we continue to hold the government to account and put forward our ideas to get Ontario back on track,” said Clark.

“As Deputy Leader, I will have a great opportunity to continue to play a key role in raising the issues that matter to Ontarians and the residents I serve here in Leeds-Grenville in the Legislature. I will also be work-

ing hard to support Patrick in his tireless efforts to connect with people across the province and learn about their priorities.”

Clark said soaring hydro rates, the Hydro One fire sale, loss of manufacturing jobs, threats to health care services, a recent credit downgrade and concerns over the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan are among the issues he will have on the front burner.

“Those are the concerns I’ve

Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, left, and MPP Sylvia Jones listen as Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown speaks during a press conference announcing they have been named Deputy Leaders of the party last week. Clark was also named Critic for Tourism, Culture and Sport in Brown’s shadow cabinet.

Hillier welcomes role as new justice watchdog Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington, expressed his satisfaction and enthusiasm for his appointment Sept. 10 as critic for the Attorney General of Ontario.

“I look forward to scrutinizing the administration of justice in Ontario by the Wynne Liberal government, and holding the decision-makers to account,” remarked Hillier. “I look forward to continuing to fight for the security of individuals and their property, and the principles that the people of Ontario hold dear and expect in a free and just society.”

Hillier will also sit on the Standing Committee for Justice, and serve as chair on a newly minted Red Tape Review Panel created by the Leader of Ontario’s Official Opposition Leader, Patrick Brown.

The Wynne government has embarked upon an aggressive ‘activist center’ agenda including proposals to limit access to the

courts through AMPs (Administrative Monetary Penalties), reform of court security, institutionalizing ‘carding’ or ‘street checks’, along with limits on the use of the civil courts, just to name a few.

“I will be a vigilant and determined watchdog as critic of the Attorney General, to safeguard the public interest in the development of potential policies that may limit our freedoms and access to justice,” stated Hillier.

A longtime advocate for, and proponent of, individual rights and responsibility, Hillier is not a newcomer to matters of justice.

He was one of the only Members of the Legislative Assembly who was openly and publicly critical of both levels of government for their actions during the G20 conference in Toronto, and has a record that precedes his political career for standing up against injustice, especially when it is created by government policies and regulations.

“The purpose of the law and our institutions must be a focus on the prevention of injustice, yet increasingly we are imposed upon by new laws that are restrictive or harmful for many in order to benefit a favoured few,” said Hillier. “Government’s role is to secure our personal freedoms, not restrict them.”

Hillier recently served dual roles as Critic for Labour and Research & Innovation, and also had served as critic for Northern Development, Mines and Forestry, and Rural Affairs. During his terms he has also served on the Standing Committees for Estimates, Regulations and Private Bills, Legislative Assembly, Government Agencies, as well as the Select Committee on Sexual Violence and Harassment, and the all-party Parliamentary Liaison Committee during the last minority parliament.

Submitted by the office of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington MP Randy Hillier.

heard from people all summer and it’s time for the Premier and her government to understand we need to take a new direction,” explained Clark, adding, “Our Leader has been clear: we’ll work with the government on ideas if they are in the best interests of Ontario families and will return

our province to prosperity.”

Regarding his new critic role, Clark said it’s a natural fit given the area he represents.

“Leeds-Grenville is a prime destination for visitors to Ontario and the jobs and investment tourism supports makes it a critical sector of our local economy,”

said Clark.

“I’m eager to work with local operators and those across the province to encourage the government to do more to promote tourism in Ontario.”

Retirement lived in phases Manage Your Money

The retirement you choose will be unique to you, and that’s as it should be – but in a general way, all retirements travel through three phases.

Phase 1: Figuring it out Becoming retired is a change and while you might have dreamt about it, you really won’t know what it will be like until you experience it. Much of who we are comes from work – our sense of accomplishment, our status and even our social connections – but the shift to retirement may mean figuring out who we truly are and learning how to be content through many retirement years.

Before you retire, ‘try on’ different potential retirement lifestyles and chat with other retired friends about their retirement journey that may lead to discovering something new that you had not considered.

Financially, you’re likely to spend more during your early retirement years as you try out new things – so budget for these additional expenses but also remember that some fulfilling things (such as volunteering) are not expensive and provide a strong sense of self worth.

Phase 2: Settling in At this point, you’ll know exactly what you want out of retirement – and to be sure you’ll enjoy it, always take care of your health.

Financial planning becomes easier because most of your expenses are stable and predictable – but ensure you plan for the unexpected like a sudden health issue or major repair bill and periodically review your spending

Invest. Nurture.

Leave to others.

plan to ensure you’ve captured all your costs, including the effects of inflation.

Phase 3: Winding down In this phase, folks usually slow down due to declining health or finances.

You’ll find yourself thinking more and more about the financial and other legacies you’ll leave.

Do what you can to maintain and improve your health – but be aware that health care costs can be significant. Although Canada’s health care program is very good, you’ll likely want to enhance your control over your own health – so be sure to understand your health care options and choices, especially what would happen if you become chronically or acutely ill.

These three phases of retirement aren’t necessarily linear – for example, if a significant health event led to retirement, you may live for a time like you’re in Phase 3 but with recovery, move back to Phase 1. And keep in mind that your spouse may not always be in the same phase as you.

To be sure you live your retirement dreams through all the years – and phases – of your retirement, discuss your retirement plans with your professional advisor.

Lanark County OPP to conduct distracted driving focused patrol Sept. 18 The Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in partnership with the OPP Highway Safety Division will be conducting a focused patrol targeting distracted driving on Friday, Sept. 18.

A focused patrol is a detachmentbased initiative aimed to identify community traffic and crime hot spots, which enables the organization to better reduce crime and victimization by putting the right people, in the right places, at the right times.

Distracted driving refers to all forms of distracted or inattentive driving, such as adjusting a vehicle’s entertainment or GPS unit or stereo, eating and drinking, using a handheld device, self-grooming or tending to children in the backseat, etc. Drivers need to remember that the true danger to public safety lies in the distraction, not the device.

Lanark County has seen an increase of inattentive driver related motor vehicle collisions. In 2008, 148 motor vehi-

cle collisions were a result of inattentive drivers and that number has increased to 202 in 2014. Despite education and enforcement initiatives drivers continue to drive while distracted. Between 20102014 Lanark County OPP laid 619 distracted driving charges, and as of Sept. 1 have laid 103 charges this year.

The OPP is committed to raising awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and want to remind drivers of the new penalties that go with it.

On Sept. 1, the penalty for distracted Leave the device alone and don’t be a driving rose to $490 and three demerit distracted driver. points. If contested, drivers can be fined up to $1,000 upon conviction for inatSubmitted by Lanark County Ontario tentive driving.

Supervised alternative learning program expanded throughout school board After launching a successful pilot at select sites in February, trustees with the Upper Canada District School Board voted Sept. 9 to fully implement the Supervised Alternative Learning (SAL) program at schools throughout the board.

Initially delivered last year through the TR Leger School of Adult, Alternative and Continuing Education, the program will now be offered to students in all elementary, intermediate and secondary schools, said trustee Donald Cram, after

the board approved a policy implementing an expanded program.

SAL is designed to provide students aged 14 to 17 struggling with attendance and academics with an alternative educational experience. The program allows students to stay involved with extracurricular activities at their school, while working on an individualized plan to help them progress toward a high school diploma or other educational or life goals. It encourages students to continue earning aca-

demic credits while exploring alternatives to traditional learning until they are able to reintegrate and re-engage with regular school programming.

“It’s for kids facing personal issues who for whatever reason cannot fit in with the normal school programming,” said Cram, a member of the board’s SAL committee.

“Up until now there hasn’t really been any programming for them. It’s a way of keeping them in their home school by having a specialized program set up for them so

they don’t necessarily have to attend their home school in the normal way.”

Students can qualify for the program due to a range of issues from mental health problems to family challenges.

The program permits students to participate on a full or part-time basis and continue their education through: • Enrollment in a credit course • Enrollment in a non-credit life skills course or other non-credit course • Preparation for employment or devel-

Connections offers prenatal, postnatal support to Lanark County families Maureen Hampton

The following is the first installment in a bi-weekly series on Connections, which offers a range of valuable services to Lanark County families.

Connections, housed under Lanark Community Programs, a part of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services, began in 1993 as community-based home visiting program. Building on this, a volunteer birth companion and playgroup program soon followed. Agency success and participant feedback brought attention to the need for additional support; a prenatal drop-in program was added in 1996. Today, Connections is proud to offer a continuum of prenatal and postnatal support services to families in our community.

Our goal at Connections is to provide support to families during their pregnancies and in the healthy growth and development of their young children. This is a cooperative effort involving the family, agency services and the community.

Connections has four main core programs; the Birth Companion program, Good Food for a Healthy Baby program, he Home Visiting program and the Parent and Children’s Play Groups program. These programs help to reduce isolation and increase parenting competency. Prenatal support reduces the risk of low birth weights and increases breastfeeding rates. Individual support gives families a sense of security know-

ing they have someone in the community they can count on and trust resulting in a more positive, less stressful household environment. Practical help, such as food, prenatal vitamins, transportation and advocacy is a major component of the Connections program. This kind of help reduces stress for the parents, leading to better attachment and parent/child interaction.

At times when funding allows, we offer parent education workshops such as Bounce Back and Thrive, SOS or Nobody’s Perfect. Through the summer we offer a School Readiness program, a group for preschool children going to school in September. Through donation, and much hard work, we offer a Backto-School program in late August. This program gives students in need, a backpack or school bag, lunch kit and school supplies.

Connections is a very unique nonprofit agency. We offer not only a variety of support but a progression of support. Participants can move from program to program as their child develops or they can use more than one program at a time. All participation is voluntary and is parent directed. Our programs are run throughout Lanark County and our Good Food for a Healthy Baby program is also run in Leeds/Grenville.

There are no fees for our programs; core funding comes from the federal government, Public Health Agency of Canada (Community Action Program

for Children and the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program).

At Connections our goal is to make a difference in the lives of the families we serve. We believe by supporting pregnant women and their partners, they will feel better about themselves, their birth experience and their babies. By supporting a woman, or a woman and her partner through labour may shorten delivery, reducing complications and the need for medical intervention.

We embrace the idea that contributing to a parent’s physical and mental health, one can positively influence the health of their child. Supporting parents strengthens and increases attachment, parenting

skills and contributes greatly to a child’s physical, cognitive and emotional well being.

Our slogan at Connections is ‘Real Help...Right Here...Right Now.’ Our staff feel privileged to work for such an innovative agency, in our own communities, serving the families we work with.

If you know of a young family who are pregnant or have young children please do not hesitate to refer them to Connections. We are here to help. Please call for more information about our programming at 613 257-2779 ext. 100 and ask for Leigh.

Representing 72,000 retired public & private teachers, educational support staff, college & university faculty and support staff RTO/ERO is a non-partisan organization.

RTO/ERO and its members believe that the two most important issues facing all Canadians, and especially seniors, are healthcare and pensions.

Pensions

Healthcare RTO/ERO is seeking from the Federal Government and the provinces a commitment to a phased-in, managed approach to universal healthcare that combines prevention and remediation. This would include a campaign to encourage all Canadians to adopt healthier lifestyles, as well as a Pharmacare program that leaves the provinces responsible for the management of healthcare through an integrated, funded agreement between the provinces and the Federal Government.

RTO/ERO believes it is imperative that our political leaders address the absence of pension plans for 75% of private sector workers who constitute the majority of the workforce. The matter of assisting Canadians to plan for their retirement, and thus to be more self-reliant in their senior years, is an opportunity to raise the quality of life of Canadians.

RTO/ERO’s Recommendations

q That the Prime Minister con-

w

vene a meeting of Premiers and Provincial Finance Ministers to work out a time frame for a phasedin universal health care program, and that such a program include a cooperative Federal-Provincial Pharmacare Program.

That the Federal Government undertake an expansion of the CPP in conjunction with the Provinces and Territories to ensure that Canadians can continue to maintain a reasonable standard of living in their retirement years.

One-two punch at Station Theatre with Movie Nights, music series Excitement over the Station Theatre’s 2015-16 Movie Nights season has been building all month as patrons anticipate the two classic Stanley Kubrick films to be shown on Friday, Sept. 18 and Saturday, Sept. 19. The highlight, on Saturday, is a rare screening of Kubrick’s famous The Shining (1980), a personal favourite of Robert Fontaine, CBC’s “All In A Day” film critic, who selected the film for your enjoyment. As a bonus, Robert will be in attendance to introduce The Shining and host a Q & A session to complete the evening. Regular listeners to his show know they are in for a very entertaining evening.

When The Shining was first seen by critics, most expected a standard fright fest based on a Stephen King best seller; what they got was a highly original film – starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duval – that has sparked speculation and discussion ever since. It ranks as one the “must see” classics, a thrill for veteran film goers to see again and an opportunity for new generations of viewers to appreciate what all the buzz has been about.

The opening night film, 2001: A Space Odyssey – is the runaway winner chosen in a recent poll of our public. This 1968 classic, produced and directed by Kubrick (the famous science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke co-wrote the screenplay), follows a voyage to Jupiter with a smart computer called Hal after the discovery of a mysterious black monolith affecting human evolution.

Years ahead of its time, the film

has been universally cited for its scientifically accurate depiction of space flight and its pioneering special effects. It is regarded by film goers and critics alike as one of the best movies of all time.

To help kick off its new film season, the Station Theatre will be offering a free Reward Card at the ticket wicket. When presented at the time of purchase, the Reward Card will be stamped by the ticket seller.

There is no expiration date, and when seven stamps are accumulated for seven purchased tickets, the next film is free.

As a special bonus, patrons attending both Kubrick films will get a third Reward Card bonus stamp free – a great start towards a free movie later on.

Tickets for the Kubrick Classics are $10 for adults, $5 for students (with ID), sold for cash only at the door. The movies start at 7.30 PM; the Station Theatre is located at 53 Victoria Ave. On Saturday, Sept. 26, the audience is in for another great treat with the return of live music to the stage of the Station Theatre in the form of a musical show called Tales and Tunes. The NorthWinds Brass Quintet has teamed up with the Ottawa Story Tellers to present a delightful evening of music along with stories from the pen of the great Canadian humourist Stephen Leacock.

Started in 1990s, the popular brass quintet has evolved into a cohesive group of musicians that delight in playing venues around the area: Martin Bender, Corey Rempel, Al Ridgway, Dean Tronsgard and Rick

Rangno perform on a variety of brass instruments. Patrons will remember Rick Rangno for his stellar work on the trumpet and flugelhorn when the Robert Fontaine Quartet performed in Smiths Falls in the spring.

The Story Tellers began as a group organizing story swaps on an open stage; the tradition has continued to the present day. For this performance, in the Tales component, story tellers Gail Anglin and Tom Lips will be recounting the wittiest and most profound of Leacock’s thoughts, drawing from his vast repertoire of books and essays.

At one time Leacock was rated the foremost humourist in the English-speaking world. Come and hear the sparkling wit on which that reputation was justly based.

Tales and Tunes is a one night stand on Sept. 26, with the show starting at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $25, including a complimentary refreshment; there will be a cash wine bar before and after the show. Call the Station Theatre at 613-2830300 for details and to order by credit card.

Tickets may be purchased for cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell Street East, online at smithsfallstheatre.com (Paypal/ Visa/Mastercard), and at the door for cash only (subject to availability, a half-hour before the performance).

We invite everyone to keep in touch with all our upcoming shows by going to our website or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre).

Birding open houses at Almonte lagoons Every autumn, tens of thousands of shorebirds migrate through our area from nesting grounds in the high Arctic.

Hundreds stop off to feed and ‘recharge’ at the Almonte lagoons area behind the water treatment plant on Wolf Grove Road.

The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalist’s (MVFN) birding committee invites you to attend one of four birding open houses at the Almonte lagoons observation tower. MVFN built and continue to maintain an observation tower which overlooks the lagoons, as well as a short trail into the tower off Ramsay Concession 8. For 15 years now, birders from all over the prov-

ince and beyond have made this location, a prime viewing spot for shorebirds and other species. While walking the short 200-metre trail into the tower one can also see many fall warbler and sparrow species.

The open houses will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. on four consecutive Wednesdays: Sept.

16, Sept. 23, Sept. 30, and Oct. 7. Walk in and view a multitude of shore birds in migration. On each of these occasions, you will be greeted at the trail start by an MVFN member, who will point out directions to the tower.

An expert birder with spotting scope will be on site at the tower to give all who attend an

opportunity to learn the identity of the different birds and a bit about them. Birding experts will include Ray Holland, Ken Allison and Mike Jaques.

Directions to the tower: From Almonte, take County Road 16 (Wolf Grove Road) towards Middleville, 2 km. Turn right (north) onto Ramsay Concession 8 at the Auld Kirk Church and Cemetery. Trail entrance is on Ramsay Concession 8, across the road from Auld Kirk Cemetery.

For further information, please call or email Cliff Bennett at 613-256-5013 or bennett@magma.ca.

COADY, Sean Douglas In loving memory of our dear son, who tragically was taken too soon, September 16, 2006.

Every day our hearts are filled with sorrow, Wondering how we will make it through tomorrow.

Our time with you was precious, And the memories we have are too.

The love we share together keeps us close to you.

Maybe we cannot touch your hand or see your smiling face, Maybe we cannot hear your voice or feel your warm embrace, But, there is something we will always have, Tucked safely in our hearts, Our love for you… your love for us… will never let us part.

“Those we love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as our life remains.”

Love, Mom and Dad

COADY, Sean Douglas Remembering my fun and loving brother… my best friend… who left this earth, much too soon, September 16, 2006.

Nine years have passed…

Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and wish for one more laugh, one more hug.

Time passes… the grief remains, but I know that you would say…

Keep my memory with you, For memories never die.

I will always be there with you, When you look up in the sky.

When your heart is heavy And you feel you are alone, Reach deep down inside yourself For your heart is now my home.

I will always be there with you I will never go away I will live on within your heart Each and every day.

“In my mind I see you and in my heart I keep you…”

Love, Erin

The moment that you died, Our hearts were torn in two, One side filled with heartache, The other died with you.

We often lie awake at night, MRS. CAROL When the world is fast FRANKCOM asleep, and Oct. 9, 1942 Take a walk down Sept. 10, 2013 memory lane, Two years have passed With tears upon our since the Lord called cheeks. you home.

Remembering you is easy, Missing and loving We do it everyday, you forever But missing you is a Husband Jack, heartache, Sons Jim, Rick, Paul That never goes away.

Stienberg and We hold you tightly their families within our hearts, And there you will remain, Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again.

Love Mom, Dad, Natalee, Natasha (JP, Lilli, Denver) Nicole (Matt, Kailey, Karson, Jace, Jade)

Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre duel with Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet The climax of an Elizabethan drama: a tense duel with flashing swords and evenly-matched combatants, good and evil pitted against each other in a final battle. This October, when the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre bring Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to the Carleton Place Town Hall, actors will cross swords in the full view of an audience that surrounds them, almost in the middle of the fight!

“The duel between Romeo and Paris in the graveyard outside Juliet’s tomb in the final scene follows the tradition of classical drama to the letter,” says director Mark Piper. “But in Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare has turned the tradition on its head. This is not a glorious final combat – the combatants are unsure of their position, and one of them – Romeo – has actually come to Juliet’s grave so that he can drink poison and die beside his wife. Both men lie dead at the end of the fight, so there is no clear winner: the main villains of the play – the warring families of Montague and Capulet – aren’t even in the fight.”

But it’s not all fights in Romeo and Juliet: there are the classic scenes known to all lovers of romance and tragedy: “But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?”, “Romeo, Ro-

Submitted photo

Assistant directors Leah West, above and Adam Pelletier, below, go through scenes with actors during rehearsals recently for the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre’s upcoming production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The show opens Oct. 16. meo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” and “Parting is such sweet sorrow,” are only a few of the touchstone speeches that the Bard has given the English language in this play.

“Yes, the thought that one has to do

Visit

these well-known speeches in front of an audience – an audience that will be primed and waiting for them – well, that could be a bit nerve-wracking to any actor,” says Piper. “It sets you back a bit to think that Kenneth Branagh or Leonardo

DiCaprio or Judi Dench or Claire Danes has said exactly the same lines that you are saying.”

But neither of these challenges fazes the young actors, who attack the soaring heights of this classical text without fear, and take to the stage combat with zest and good humour. As they reach the home stretch of their preparation for the play, they are enjoying it all – the swordfights, the monologues, the humour, and the story of the two star-crossed lovers.

The most common sounds in the rehearsal hall are laughter and applause among the actors, whether sharing an inside joke, admiring another’s performance, or surprising themselves that all the hard work and rehearsal have paid off. They’re comfortable and confident.

Leah West, who has performed Shakespeare on stage with the Mississippi Mudds of Carleton Place – most recently playing Desdemona in Othello in 2013 – takes on the challenge of directing the young actors in navigating the complexities of Shakespearean text.

Mudds favourite Adam Pelletier (who recently finished the role of the Wizard in the Mudds’ production of Once Upon a Mattress) has designed, and is directing, the many stage combat and swordfight scenes throughout the play.

The joy and exuberance of these young actors is infectious – and if their state of mind in the home stretch of their rehearsals is anything to go by, their performance on opening night will be something to remember.

“It’s really been amazing to watch their progress over the past couple of months,” Piper declares. “When we started, I think that some of the actors were intimidated, by the Shakespearean language, by the complexities of the swordfight scenes and by the reputation of Romeo and Juliet, the play, and the great actors that have done it in the past.

Now, there’s none of that. This play belongs to them now. I’m very proud.”

Romeo and Juliet runs Friday, Oct. 16 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 18 at 2 p.m., at the Carleton Place Town Hall. While the play is suitable for most audiences, younger children may be frightened by the staged violence and swordfights. Tickets cost $10 and are available from Reads Book Shop, 135 Bridge Street in Carleton Place, 613257-7323.

How to keep the music alive in a constantly changing industry I always snicker when I see yet another rock band from my youth are on the road again, often playing the same tunes of way back when that, at some point, made them the stars they were. My buddies and I would joke, wondering which player was paying for what divorce, hence another tour. There’s nothing wrong with it as many people continue to attend, paying big bucks to remember their “spring chicken” years.

Music can do that. Just hearing a few bars of that certain old song can instantly bring back memories you hadn’t remembered for light years. Like anyone else, unless musicians were smart with hopefully the buckets of money they received the first time around and weren’t gouged or ripped off by record companies, managers, bandmates, etc., they’ve got to keep the funds flowing just like the rest of us, doing what they hopefully still love to do...play music, hopefully on their own terms.

When you’re a young musician, everything seems possible and, with a bit of skill and few responsibilities, your craft of being a musician can keep you afloat with a lot of work, crashing on friends couches and even more luck. Having a couple of “hits” no longer puts you on easy street and we know the music industry itself has been crumbling for many years. It’s at the point now where many now work independently, recording their own material, organizing back up musicians, arranging a never ending schedule

of gigs locally and sometimes long tours to help build a following to make it easier the next time you’re through. Building those ever-important lists of contacts, those individuals in local and distant communities who you know will book you to fill the holes on a cross country tour between higher paying gigs, etc. is a skill all its own. Musicians who give it a try are a unique brand of people who endeavour to find a niche place in the musical world for themselves, one that will pay the bills and keep them content.

Some do, many don’t. Over the summer I had the opportunity to hear three veterans of the music scene in entirely different circumstances and, in doing so reflected on how each have found a way to keep their musical love alive.

Self-described ‘roots songstress’ Allison Brown toured through this summer with her musical partner, multiinstrumentalist ‘Uncle’ Dan Hershall, playing at the Golden Arrow in Perth.

She last performed in Perth at one of our house concerts about eight years ago and though I enjoyed her back then and have heard her elsewhere since, it was fabulous to see the growth and maturity Allison brought to the stage. Music is her life.

She is on a three-month self-booked tour taking them to the East Coast, including Newfoundland and then working back through to do a tour throughout Manitoba before heading back via gigs in northern Ontario to her home in Windsor.

Most of this will be sleeping on friends’ couches (like ours) along the way. Proudly promoting her latest CD, Stitches and Incisions, she always brings her sweet, powerful voice and enthralls any crowd with her own tunes of a wide variety of topics and musical genres. When not touring she picks up jobs to raise the money to record again and keep her musical life alive. She’s a real troubadour who’s been at it for the past 20 years supporting herself. She’s the real deal.

Next, while at Blue Skies Festival, I ran into a real veteran of the folk scene throughout North America, someone I’ve heard most of my adult life. Melwood Cutlery graced many a campfire with his distinctive voice, guitar and harmonica work.

After getting his first guitar at ten in his hometown of Ottawa, he taught himself and hit the church basement / high school circuit (unheard of now) until he could get into the bars to play. As a late teen he started what became 30-plus years on the road, writing and playing across Canada and the States, gigging

with the late, great Steve Goodman at one point. Juno award winner, David Francey describes Melwood as “the hippest songwriter around.” I agree with a previous description of this unique singer/songwriter when said, “His songwriting ability moves seamlessly from ballads and lullabies to folk, country, blues and rock.”

His latest CD, entitled Home in the Country, recorded at Little Bullhorn Studio in Ottawa by the wonderful engineer, Dave Draves and sweetly produced by Melwood, proves this statement completely. Augmented by tasty background vocals and instrumentation, his storytelling tunes offer lovely snapshots of people and places, all in various styles, from the Stompin’ Tom – like style of Alida to the delightful upbeat romp, Love On Special, to the sultry retrospective of the title track, Home in the Country.

This was completed in 2013 but, due to a bad bout with tendinitis in his hand, Melwood had been unable to play so couldn’t get out to promote it which made seeing him back playing with such gusto at Blue Skies so wonderful. The joy of this for him was told by the satisfaction his face portrayed. The wear and tear of the road affects the bodies of those trying to keep things going.

I encourage you to pick up Melwood’s new CD and catch him at GIGSPACE in Ottawa on Oct. 9. See details below.

By the way, he’s been a Lanark lad for a while. Go to his website www.melwood-

cutlery.com for more information.

The last one culminated a couple of Saturday afternoons ago when I walked into the Queen’s Hotel in Carleton Place and witnessed a full house, all there to see a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame and a winner of the Canadian Country Music Association’s Country Music Person of the Year…none other than Neville Wells. Born in Newfoundland, he grew up in Ompah (north of Sharbot Lake) and started his musical ride by playing at the Ompah Dance Hall, backing the fiddler and calling square dances for $2 a night. He headed to Ottawa for university in 1959 and started a duo with Peter Hodgson (Sneezy Waters) called Nev & Pete, playing all around the Ottawa Valley, including the infamous Le Hibou.

Together, along with Bruce Cockburn, David Wiffen, Sandy Crawley, Bill Hawkins and Richard Patterson, they formed the folk rock group The Children that lasted a couple of years. As a one-off show, Neville and Sandy opened for the Rolling Stones in Ottawa in 1965.

Neville’s roots are country and he ended up fronting his own band, writing lots of material and recording, with his material getting national airplay. He played across Canada over the years and was the creator of the long gone but not forgotten, Ompah Stomp Country Music Festival and also the monthly newspaper, See MUSINGS page 52

Costly repairs and tow packages – Car Counsellor weighs in on reader concerns “Hi Brian, First, I like your articles in the papers.

Maybe you can help me. I have a 1997 Ford F150 pickup that I bought new with only 70k with a 4.2 L engine. My problem – it has an intake manifold leak and is hissing and been like this for some time.

I’ve had conflicting reports as what this will cost to repair. I’ve had no problems passing the clean air (emissions) test.

The truck is in excellent condition, good paint, auto-trans, cruise, and power windows. It’s a 4-wheel drive. The highest offer I’ve had is $2,000 as is.

Would it pay me to fix it and what do you think it would cost to do so.”

Thanking you, Lawrence This is a common problem on older Ford trucks and you will probably have to replace the manifold gaskets. There’s an upper and lower set and if they all require replacement you’re likely to be looking at around $600 to $750 but if the lower cast manifold is done, that part alone is another $1,000. I’d advise against leaving this unrepaired as your engine probably has one or more cylinders running lean due to excessive air intake, which can overheat the valves and pistons. As I’ve told many people before, driving anything over 10-years-old in this country is like playing the lottery. So before submitting your wallet to a major repair bill, I’d recommend considering the alternatives. With new vehicle engine and fuel technology, what you might poten-

tially save in gas bills may cover a considerable portion of a monthly payment on a newer truck. If you want to be sure, get a safety inspection done by a qualified shop (along with a drive-train check over) and if the estimate for any required repairs is close to the current wholesale value of the truck, replacement may be the way to go.

“Hello Brian, My wife and I will soon start some long distance travel towing our 15-foot trailer (1150 kg GVWR). I found a good website (onlinetowingguide.com) that lists towing capacities for all manufacturers, for the current and previous two model years. On some of the listings a notation is made that a towing package is required. For example, the 2013 Toyota Highlander has a 2000 lb towing capacity with a 3.5L V-6 engine, but with the towing package the rating increases to 5000 lbs. My questions are: (1) what exactly do these towing packages contain: and (2) can it be safely installed on a used vehicle?”

Thanks

Martin Thanks for the great question. Towing packages vary from maker to maker and from model to model. Sometimes they’re as simple as a beefier transmission oil cooler (which can easily be added after the fact) and sometimes they’re more involved, with things like more powerful alternators, different transmission final-drive ratios, heavier suspension, and stronger axles (just to name a few).

No matter what tow-packages entail on your short-list vehicles and no matter how easy or cheap they may be to install, no carmaker will increase the towing capacity of their products after they’ve left the factory in terms of warranty or operational recommendations. First, few if any carmakers will even provide a detailed

list of components that make up their towing packages. When considering a late model used vehicle, you need to be concerned about voiding any remaining manufacturer’s warranty and towing in excess of the weight limit is a sure way to do it.

My advice would be to find something that is rated to tow your trailer and still allow for a 20 per cent reserve because you may buy a newer heavier trailer in the future or you may find some heavyweight treasures on your adventures that you want to bring home with you.

Watch for him in a listening room near you.

As I started by saying, musicians need to find their own way to do what they love and it takes all kinds of ways as I’ve evidenced here.

Clara von Maltzahn, age 14

Does this illness limit your activities?

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t participate in gym class at school and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play soccer but I have other activities that I am dedicated to. I have sailing, horseback riding and skiing. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop moving because I have arthritis.

What do you say to other kids when they ask why you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t participate at school?

I just explain that I have a medical condition.

Sometimes bad things happen to people that means they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do everything but I can do other activities, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been inspired by my time at CHEO so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be a doctor. It would be wonderful to take care of people less fortunate than me. If my arthritis isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too bad I would very much like to make other people feel better.

Why should people support the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery?

So kids can have a brighter future. They should be able to fulfill their dreams and shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be stopped because they have a medical condition.

IMAGINE â&#x20AC;&#x153; I CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T WHERE Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;D BE WITHOUT CHEO. â&#x20AC;?

Restored ’69 Skylark convertible still turns heads 33 years later Ron Leblanc of LaSalle, Ontario, is an active member of the McLaughlin-Buick Club of Canada, which was founded in Oshawa in 1971 at the 100th birthday celebration for Col. Sam McLaughlin, a former carriage builder who brought General Motors to Canada in 1918.

On the weekend of Sept. 1920, Ron will be hosting more than 30 members of the McLaughlinBuick Club of Canada for their fall tour which this year brings them to the Leamington area with visits to the nearby Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village on the Arner Town Line (519-776-6909).

Among the cars on display will be Ron’s 1969 Buick Skylark Custom convertible. Forty-

six years ago, Ron bought an identical car brand new from Clarke’s GM dealership on Oxford Street in London, Ontario, and sold it about two years later after only 34,000 miles. Thirty years later, he started looking for another one with trips as far away as California. After a three-year search, he found one in July 2004 in Monroe, South Carolina, and drove it home. It was bought new by a Pennsylvania doctor and Ron is the third owner.

The car was rust-free but needed work. Ron drove it every summer and worked on it every winter over the next eight years.

The 350 V8 engine with 2-barrel carb and automatic transmission have now been rebuilt. Ron in-

stalled a complete new Saddle Tan interior from “Year One” supply house in the U.S. The chrome has all been redone in Detroit. The body work consisted mostly of removing body filler in dents and dings, adding new sheet metal and refinishing the entire car in Autumn Gold.

By an amazing coincidence, Ron’s first Skylark convertible was Autumn Gold. When he bought the one he has now, it was turquoise. When he stripped the paint down to refinish the car, the original colour turned out to be Autumn Gold!

Submitted photo

Ron Leblanc’s 1969 Buick Skylark Custom convertible.

Ron found the original production build sheet for his car under the back seat. The original colour of the top was tan. The top was black when he bought the car in ’04 and the top is now tan again, just like the one he bought new 46 years ago. That car had bucket seats with a console. The one he has now has a bench front seat – about the only

difference between the two cars.

The first mid-size Skylarks appeared for 1965 with a wheelbase of 115 inches when the full-size Buicks had 123-126” wheelbases. The Skylark was an instant hit with people who wanted a Buick but not a big one.

In 1969, over one hundred thousand Skylarks were built, including 6,552 Custom convertibles.

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, P.O. Box 255, 25 John Street, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.
