News - The dirt is already flying at the former site of the old barn. Local businesses in support of the Gerry Lowe Memorial Sens RINK (Recreation Investment in Neighbourhoods for Kids) pledged to begin the construction phase of the NHL-size open air hockey rink the day after formally breaking ground on the project Aug. 20. “I look forward to seeing everyone

on the rink in the fall,” said Rob Garvin who represented the Gerry Lowe Memorial Foundation at the celebration. Every individual who approached the mic to speak that Wednesday had one common name on his or her lips - Gerry Lowe. “That’s the reason we’re all here today,” said Cyril Leeder, president of the Ottawa Senators. Lowe’s working friendship with Leeder’s father brought the two men together on many occasions. Leeder said

of all the times Lowe asked for Senators tickets to games, etc. it was always with the hope of lifting someone else’s spirits. Elaine Lowe took the mic to express her family’s thanks for honouring her late husband in this way. “My skates are sharpened and I’m ready to participate,” Mrs. Lowe said. Garvin said this rink speaks to Lowe’s legacy of making sure no one was withSee RINK page SF2

Business - In the fight to create economic prosperity across Lanark County an innovative business support centre concept proposed by Valley Heartland CFDC could be the “game changer” municipalities have been looking for. “We stand unprecedented in being able to change our rural economy and be able to seize opportunity,” said Susan Fournier, executive director of Valley Heartland CFDC during an Aug. 25 presentation to Smiths Falls councillors. The concept is to create a place where existing and new start businesses in Lanark and North Leeds will have access to critical resources and facilities needed to grow their businesses. “It’s a miracle grow for business,” Fournier said. The centre, which is 5,000 square feet in size, will provide access to industry experts, professional workshops, mentorship and trainers. As well, homebased businesses can tap into offices, work stations and a boardroom that all can be rented for an hour or a day to meet their needs. Currently, the CFDC rents out its boardroom to clients and Fournier reports: “we can’t keep up with demand.” The CFDC hopes to begin work on the centre Sept. 2, 2014 to accommodate the growing need for its services. She said they have 80 business prospects

they are working with and 12 start-up businesses in the early stages. “They are basically waiting for us to open the doors,” Fournier said. The sectors the centre will focus on include: young entrepreneurs, innovation, IT, women entrepreneurs, niche manufacturing, and food processing. The use of emerging technologies is a growing area reality for business in the county with RiskLogik in Almonte, DominKnow in Perth that has expanding into Kanata and Tweed in Smiths Falls opening its doors. “This is a game changer for our region,” Fournier said. She went on to say one Lanark County business has been accepted into the Build in Canada Innovation Program (BCIP) and four more are making application. “That in itself is putting us on the map,” Fournier said. To get these businesses growing Fournier made a presentation to Smiths Falls Committee of the Whole Aug. 25 where she asked for $30,000 of seed money support for the centre split into two payments ($15,000 now and $15,000 in January 2015). This money would help to open the facility at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls by mid-to-late October this year.

Community – The tranquil grounds of Angel’s Roost Organic Spa provide the perfect backdrop for the latest Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) fundraiser Saturday, Sept. 6. The spa, located outside of Carleton Place, will be the setting for the ‘Loving You’ Personal Wellness Day, enticing visitors to take a spiritual journey for the day. From 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., enjoy an abundance of activities, including yoga sessions under the shade of trees and lush grass, have a spiritual reading done in the enchanted orchard, take in a self-defense class or chat with a personal trainer about how to improve your fitness regimen. Reiki demonstrations will be offered and guests can venture inside the spa to treat themselves to a mini-massage, foot pampering or reflexology. “It’s becoming a journey of wellness for us and it’s so inspiring to be able to showcase the types of services,” noted Heather Whiting, LCIH’s fundraising and volunteer co-ordinator. “If you walk around, there’s beautiful lush, green grass, the orchard, ponds and garden. It’s a journey like the journey the women and children we serve go on.” “(The event) has really taken on an energy of its own,” she continued, adding that the day isn’t just for women, but women and children as well. “Everyone’s so enthusiastic and we’ve added a bit of special flair and services to make it a wellness day.” According to Kathy Blair, owner of Angel’s Roost Organic Spa, located at 1731 Seventh Line Road in Beckwith Township, the work LCIH does in the community needs to be supported. “It’s a really important organization to be able to support,” she said. “A lot of people weren’t even aware we had this type of organization (LCIH)...We just really want people to get involved in the awareness of Interval House and that it’s there for anybody who needs it.” Blair said that for the past two years at her previous location on the Seventh Line, she partnered with Ann Gratton on a special tarot card reading event for the organization, but this year, they chose to take it a little further. “This year, it’s really taken off and all of the proceeds will go to Interval House,” Blair stressed.

Ema Lee Fashions: 11 years and counting

Advertorial

It was a hot June night in 2002 and everything was quiet in the small hamlet of Balderson. No one knew that in one house, there was a deal going down! Two men sat facing each other at the kitchen table in Mr. George Myers’ home. The conversation was quick and right to the point. Would Mr. Myers sell his old general store or not? That was the question. The sun was going down. The clocks on his wall ticked to their own tock. The silence had been broken. Finally a deal had been made on the back of a cigarette pack. The transformation began on the old general store and eleven years later Ema Lee Fashions is still a thriving, successful business. It is located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 and open seven days a week. Gerry McSweeney and Emily Desjardine had no idea that the business would become such a huge success. “We are known all over for being the largest ladies clothing store in the Ottawa Valley and for being a destination shopping spot” Desjardine said. “The store is also known for it’s plethora of ladies apparel, swim suits, purses and men’s shirts”. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE TEMP!

Adjoining Ema Lee Fashions in the “Downtown Balderson Complex” you will find Balderson Fine Foods, well known for its homemade ice-cream and the Anne and Vanessa’s Bakery. Since their last anniversary Emily and Gerry are very happy to announce and welcome the new proprietor and trained Chef Adam Porter of the Balderson Café. Adam’s theory: “Our philosophy is simple freshness is our commitment”. The Café is open from 10:00am to 5:00pm and the response from all of the customers has been extremely complimentary and positive. Emily and Gerry highly recommend that you drop in for lunch and don’t forget to try his homemade desserts…you won’t be disappointed! Come and discover Downtown Balderson!

Helping sister out According to the LPGA site, Brooke is helping out her big sister Brittany out in California this week. Brittany, who has worked as Brooke’s caddie in a number of big tournaments this season, will have her sister on her bag as she competes in LPGA Qualifying School. Her final event of the summer will be representing Canada at the World Amateur Team Championships in Japan. She will be leading a strong Canadian squad that includes Augusta James of Bath, Ont. and Brittany Marchand of Orangeville, Ont. Asked what it will be like to return home after such a successful summer, Brooke she’s excited to return to school where she will be completing Grade 12 at SFDCI. “It’ll be cool and nice to see my friends again and get back to Smiths Falls. It’ll be nice,” she said.

The 16-year-old golf star not only made the cut at this past weekend’s LPGA Canadian Pacific Women’s Open for the first time in three tries, she finished as low amateur and low Canadian. The Smiths Falls native opened the championship at the London Hunt & Country Club with a two under-par 70 on Thursday and followed that with an equally impressive one under 71 on Friday to make the cut by a comfortable margin. After another 71 on Saturday, a round during which she played with LPGA star Lexi Thompson of the United States, she entered Sunday’s final round in a tie for 41st at -4. Playing that day with long-time LPGA veteran Laura Davies, she opened with a rare double bogey on the first hole. But Henderson bounced back to play even par the rest of the way, recording two birdies and two bogeys – to go with 13 pars – over the next 17 holes. Her four-day total of 286 (-2) was the best of the field of Canadians in the tournament. It was two strokes better than Jennifer Ha, the only other amateur to make it to the weekend, and one ahead of two-time defending champion Lydia Ko. In an interview posted on the LPGA website (www.lpga.com), Henderson said she’s pleased to have made the cut in all four LPGA Tour events (including two majors) in which she’s played this year. “… it’s a huge learning experience and you learn so much being able to play the weekend because it’s different than the first two days, and you get to play with the best players. It’s a great experience and I’m very grateful to have been in the position.” The winner of the 2014 Canadian Pacific Women’s Open was So Yeon Ryu of South Korea. She shot four rounds in the 60s and finished at 265 (-23), two shots better than Na Yeon Choi.

Project enhances fish habitat on Dalhousie Lake News – Several conservation partners are working together to enhance fish habitat on the Mississippi Watershed. Thanks to $39,424 in funding from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, along with partner support, two walleye spawning beds will be enhanced and fish habitat structures in the form of tree/brush bundles will be placed in Dalhousie Lake. As well, 10 shoreline properties will be stabilized where runoff, erosion, vegetation removal and nutrient loading have affected fish habitat. Numerous volunteers are participating in the project, and partners include the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds, Lanark County Stewardship Council, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, Dalhousie Lake Association and Lanark & District Fish & Game Conservation Club, along with cooperation from Lanark County, Lanark Highlands and landowners around the lake. “The project will lead to improvements to Ontario’s recreational fisheries and water quality by naturalizing shorelines and providing fish habitat,” explained Barbara King, Centre for Sustainable Watersheds’ (CSW) executive director. “Lakes in this area are characterized by a loss of native fisheries and declining quality of warmwater sport fisheries, most importantly the walleye, northern pike and bass fisheries. Waterfront development has played a role, and our goal is to restore shorelines and

enhance fish habitat and spawning areas.” Native species planting is planned for Dalhousie, Canonto and Patterson lakes, with shoreline vegetation to provide shading and a runoff buffer to promote spawning and rearing habitats and increase productivity for warmwater fish species such as walleye, smallmouth and largemouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, crappie and panfish. “We plan to enhance two existing walleye spawning beds by adding appropriate rock material on Dalhousie Lake to increase walleye productivity,” said Wendell Crosbie of the Lanark & District Fish & Game Conservation Club. “The club is assisting in the spawning bed improvements and we’re working with the lake association to monitor their use. Work on the spawning beds is tentatively scheduled for Friday, Sept. 12 at the Lavant Mill Road Bridge at the west end of Dalhousie Lake. With the cooperation of the Lanark Highlands Township and their road superintendent, Dave Ennis, the bridge will be closed for the day. On Saturday, Sept. 13, the southbound lane of the bridge at County Road 8 at the east end of Dalhousie Lake will be closed. A large crane will be used at both bridges to lift buckets of river stone (160 tons) to enhance the walleye spawning beds. Cottage development has resulted in loss of water structures as cottagers remove debris from in front

of their properties. “Later in August we will create brush/tree bundles that will be sunk and anchored at depths that won’t impede boat traffic,” said Franziska von Rosen, Lanark County Stewardship Council co-chair. “These in-water structures, often called ‘fishsticks,’ provide excellent nursery habitat for many fish species and for invertebrates that are essential for a healthy aquatic ecosystem.” “Dalhousie Lake is a popular fishing destination and shoreline development has put pressure on the fish population,” said Judy Hall, Dalhousie Lake Association president. “Project partners are working with willing landowners to restore their shorelines. It will benefit our lake by increasing the quality of fish habitat for numerous species and their prey fish in order to maintain or enhance the sport fishery here.” Eight properties have been identified for restoration and have had a habitat assessment completed, and two more are needed. Property owners interested in getting involved should contact CSW at 613-264-1244. CSW is a federally incorporated non-profit organization and registered Canadian charity committed to providing programs in communities across the country to engage and help shoreline owners enhance and protect the health of lakes and rivers.

Allison Shannon speaker at Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society’s Sept. 3 meeting Lifestyle – The Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society invites you to its Sept. 3 meeting, featuring Allison Shannon of Sun Harvest Greenhouses, who will speak on old and new vegetable varieties and trends in growing vegetables. Sun Harvest is Kingston’s leading independent greenhouse and garden centre. Allison, with husband, Greg, graduated from the University of Guelph’s Agricultural Sciences program and started out with a small mixed farming operation. In 2002, after two years of research, they began growing pesticide-free tomatoes hydroponically. Their vision was to be a local grower of great tasting, fresh produce, sold directly from their greenhouse store and supplied to local grocery stores in the Kingston area April through December. They believed they could grow a better tasting tomato and market it locally – a risky decision, considering that the food business is a fiercely competitive, global marketplace, and “local

food” at that time was a relatively new concept. Since 2002, Sun Harvest has become known throughout southeastern Ontario for their tomatoes. Seasonally, they also offer cucumbers, corn, raspberries, asparagus, lettuce and potatoes. They have also expanded their product line to include annuals and perennials, and have become container garden specialists in the process, offering gardeners unique specimens. Join the society on Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall, 24 Water Street. The meeting is free to society members, however, membership is only $15 a year, for eight meetings, April to November. Admission for non-members is $5. For more information on the Sept. 3 meeting and other upcoming events of the society, check out its website at https://sites.google. com/site/rideaulakeshorticultural/.

Letter to the Editor

Historian seeking help with Almonte Lawn Bowling Club history DEAR EDITOR: The Almonte Lawn Bowling Club is trying to fill in the gaps in its 103-year history. Established in 1911, there is unfortunately, very little written or pictorial documentation of the club’s past century of play. Many people have bowled at the club since its beginning and we appeal to anyone with any form of documentation or pictures to help us capture the past. Perhaps you have your own information or know friends or relatives

who may have information as they once bowled at the club. Anyone able to assist is requested to contact Al Jones at 613-2569997. Documents and pictures may be copied for the club’s history album and the originals retained by their owner. Your assistance is most appreciated. Al Jones Almonte Lawn Bowling Club historian

Commentary

Soon the bells will ring Editorial – By this time next week, area students will be just about to finish their first week back at school. It’s hard to believe that two months of summer vacation has flown by so quickly. It seems as if it was just yesterday, students were donning their caps and gowns to participate in graduation ceremonies. It probably doesn’t help that there’s been so much inconsistency in the weather this summer. Whatever the case, September is a few short days away. And just as parents ready their children for back to school by venturing out on shopping trips to stock up on new clothes and supplies, it wouldn’t hurt if we all had a refresher course in safety when it comes to school buses. The Ontario Provincial Police are reminding motorists that buses will be back on the road Sept. 2. Although it shouldn’t take reminding, many motorists fail to remember that it is against the law not to stop when a bus has its red light signals flashing. Perhaps the fact that the minimum fine is $400 will be enough of a deterrent. Pedestrian traffic will be increased in community safety zones as well, as many children walk to school. Be sure to slow down in those zones where signs are posted and be on alert for children darting out between parked cars, as well as leave for work five to 10 minutes earlier to account for the extra presence of buses on the road. Just as children have to make an adjustment going back to school after two months off, motorists also have to adapt their schedules.

Mother hardly gave the idea a moment’s consideration (she was busy cooking dandelion greens, a favourite dish of Aunty’s), and said she saw no reason at all why the couch couldn’t be moved into the main kitchen.

the wire couch into the coolest room in the house, and we hauled in the thin felt fold-over mattress. We didn’t even bother with sheets, so glad were we to have someplace to sleep other than the narrow creton couch! And a cool place at that! The walls of that old house were paper thin. And before we fell asleep, Audrey and I heard Aunty get up several times to use the chamber pot, walk across the floor to the window, and let out long and purposeful sighs. She also had the habit of talking to herself...almost whispers, but loud enough that we could hear her from our couch downstairs. “Whew..hot...boy... whew,” we heard long into the night. When Aunty came downstairs in the morning, she didn’t look at all happy. The house had been cleared of Father and the boys, and Mother was bustling around the kitchen, already thinking of the next meal for the table.

And she was fanning herself with a copy of the Renfrew Mercury. “Sure is hot upstairs,” she said. “Not a bit of air anywhere...hardly slept a wink.” Mother, Audrey and me were in the summer kitchen getting into the day’s work. Audrey who was already clearing up the breakfast dishes, and setting out the dish pan of hot soapy water on the table, while Mother bustled about filling a soup bowl with porridge for Aunty, gave me a poke while passing me, “I’ll give you a nickel if you tell Aunty that’s what we call character building in this here house.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Scotland’s independence vote rapidly approaching on Sept. 18

By Jeff maguire

majority of Scots, the gap is narrowing. There is relentless pressure from “Yes” campaigners who believe Scotland will flourish economically and politically if they can emerge from the large shadow cast by Great Britain. Unlike the still smouldering debate in Canada over Quebec separation, the situation in Scotland is not about language. Although Gaelic is still spoken by some people in Scotland there has been a sharp decline in the number of Gaelic speakers over the past 50 years. English is the language of choice, although listening to Scottish nationalists it is clear Scotland and England are divided by a common language. Obviously as visitors we stay out of

the independence debate when we are in Comrie. It is their issue not ours. Still, I have been party to several discussions on the matter during our many visits. It is clear loyalties are divided. I vividly remember standing at the bar of a Comrie public house one day a few years ago, savoring a pint of nut brown ale with a friend. He in turn introduced me to a younger fellow who slid his glass along the bar and joined our conversation. At one point I made the mistake of using the term “UK” which my friend, a nationalist, didn’t like. “I hate the term UK,” he spat. “But Jimmy, we are in the UK,” his younger friend replied, giving me a sly wink. I quickly changed the subject! Last week, in an email exchange with our Comrie friends, I conducted my own mini poll. It is anything but scientific and my correspondents will remain nameless to protect the innocent! Based on my many discussions with people in the Highlands over the years I was surprised to discover the majority of our friends and acquaintances in Comrie

favour the longstanding union with Great Britain. I thought most backed Alex Salmond, the First Minister of Scotland and the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP). Salmond is the leading proponent of Scottish independence. I wasn’t surprised by the position put forward by a lady friend of ours. She is from England but married a Scot and has lived in Comrie for many years. She will be voting “No.” But she’s concerned the vote will be a close one. Like so many of us today she is skeptical of big government but feels the current system remains the best option. “I hope that it’s a ‘No’ vote,” she wrote. “I’m afraid that for me it’s a case of ‘better the devil you know than the devil you don’t’. I like the slogan ‘Proud to be Scottish, Delighted to be United.’ That just about sums it up for me,” she outlined. A major concern going in to the referendum is how an independent Scotland would fare economically when matched against the “heavy hitters” in Europe? The 2011 census revealed the See COLUMN page 19

Are you new to the neighbourhood? Had a baby? Planning a wedding?

Last December, however, an agreement was finalized between the government of Scotland and the government of the UK which will see a vote on Scottish independence take place next month. The referendum is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 18. National unity in Great Britain faces its sternest test in modern history. Scots will be asked a straight forward question. “Should Scotland be an independent country?” Yes or no. It remains unclear how things will play out, should there be a “Yes” decision in September? But proponents of independence say it’s the only way Scotland will secure the powers it needs. Based on what I have read and heard the “Yes side” is rather vague about how such an arrangement will work.

Lifestyle – A few days ago an acquaintance called seeking advice on travel in Scotland and in particular some details on what to see and where to stay in Comrie. The village, on the edge of the Scottish Highlands, has been twinned with Carleton Place where we live since 1992 and the relationship continues to flourish. I am very familiar with Scotland and in particular Comrie. My wife and I have visited the country numerous times and we love it there. Kathleen and I are both members of the Carleton Place Sister City Committee, which I currently chair. During our time on the committee we have become even more knowledgeable about Scotland and we have also been fortunate enough to establish close friendships with a number of people in Comrie. In 2012 we were part of a local delegation, headed by Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and her husband Frank that took part in ceremonies marking the 20th anniversary of the Carleton Place-Comrie twinning. It was a very special event. Many of the first settlers in our part of Lanark County emigrated from the Perthshire Region of Scotland (including Comrie) early in the 19th Century. When my friend called recently asking for travel information, I asked how long he and his wife will be in Scotland. “We’re going for two weeks. We leave Sept. 13,” he replied. “You’ll be there for the referendum,” I observed. “That’s right,” he said excitedly. “I hadn’t even thought about that, Jeff!” I have referred to Scotland as a “country.” Although most Scots are fiercely patriotic about their ancient land the reality is that Scotland, like its near neighbours Wales and Northern Ireland, is a province of the United Kingdom. The centre of government for the UK is in London. While Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is also home to the Scottish Parliament the real power base for the region remains in England’s capital city.

But just as Salmond says ‘Oh yes we will.’ Montreal residents decided the

last Quebec referendum in 1995, people in Scotland’s two main cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh, will no doubt determine the outcome of next month’s vote. As I mentioned recent polls show the majority in Scotland favour the status quo. That is partly due to the economic climate in Europe which is so unpredictable. The Brits resisted the move to join the common currency (the Euro) and stuck with the GBP. That has left them in a better position than most European Union countries as the Euro continues to teeter. Standing alone I feel Scotland, with such a small population, would be a lightweight on the world scene. That concern has even patriotic Scots wondering if independence is the right road for their country. Other Scottish politicians are doing their best to convince their restless countrymen that

the Act of Union (circa 1707), which created modern Britain, is worth preserving. Using a non-threatening approach they are emphasizing the positive points of the linkage, including of course the likelihood of increased economic clout within a united Britain. The old adage “there is strength in numbers” is being trotted out regularly during the current campaign. It is true that Scots are a highly intelligent people. Have you read the book, “How the Scots Invented the Modern World?” If not you should. Arthur Herman’s book makes compelling reading. Personally I think Scots are smart enough to do the right thing next month and remain in a union that, while far from perfect, has too many good points to push aside.

LAWS plans gigantic bake sale Sept. 20 at Carambeck Community Centre

This week’s featured pets Spike Not so long ago, Spike walked along with one of the dogs and a LAWS dog walker on Glenview Road and happily walked himself in the door at our shelter. Spike chose himself a comfy cat bed at the reception area and here he was; our newest Casanova boy. Spike is charming everybody who meets him with his cuddles, good looks, spectacular eyes and special fur marking on his back. He’s so very loving and is loved back by all of whom he meets. He holds no grudges to whoever tossed him out of the car (witnessed by one of LAWS neighbours) as, apparently, he was no longer wanted. Spike is about five-yearsold, a larger breed boy and is now available to be taken to his forever home.

Deanna Hello there, Deanna here. Just noticed a write up about my kids. My son Diablo already found a loving home and my Dina and Derrick went to a pet store to be placed up for adoption. It would be my dream to see them go together. As for myself, sigh, I am still here at LAWS keeping myself pretty. I am a tiny one-year-old brown/black white cat. They say it’s hard to believe I already have three babies. Well that’s not going to happen again, the vet took care of that. I love people as they like to cuddle with me, and all the belly rubs you get when they pick you up. Can’t wait for more, please come and meet me soon, I am worth the trip! Fluffy Let me introduce myself to you: I am a woolly, very hairy white female cat. I guess that’s why they named me Fluffy. I was used to having a very loving home but upon

the arrival of a new baby who suffered from me being around, I had to be sent to this place. I think they say I am at LAWS the animal shelter in Smiths Falls? Whatever, here I am with two other cats in a large run sort of snoozing the day away. What else is there to do if you’re already a senior cat. I am 12-years-old, healthy and still full of life. Sir Charles A very handsome Russian Blue mix with stunning eyes.

With his slim build and 2.5years he’s a funny character. He’s picky as to whom he chooses to be his friend, cats as well as people. They say he’s unpredictable at times. Therefore a family with no other cats and no small children would be preferred for Sir Charles who can be very loving, too. He’s a polydactyl cat, meaning he comes with extra toes, that’s makes him more special. He’s been at LAWS since March and it’s time for him to find that special home.

Honey Come and play with me! I love it! This honey of a Labrador/Retriever mix matches her name honey – sweet and gorgeously sleek. She’s a strong and powerful girl who still needs to learn more about her basic commands on as well as off leash. She’s a large heavier girl and in her excitement, when being taken for a walk, will jump and might push you over if you’re not strong enough or small build. That’s why we think she needs a leader with a firm hand who has the time and the patience to continue to train her. She’s somewhat reactive to other animals, therefore a home with no other pets and no small children would be best for Honey.

News – Lanark County is the Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario, and now it is home to a number of maple businesses that have been designated as customer service leaders in the region. Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization’s OHvation Customer Service Designation Program gives businesses an opportunity to make a commitment to providing excellent customer service. Earlier this year, 13 local maple businesses achieved the designation. “Customer service plays an integral role in building a competitive tourism industry, and OHTO is committed to improving the quality of service delivery across the region,” explains Stephanie Hessel, OHTO’s tourism development and industry relations coordinator. Lanark County is within one of six regions that make up Ontario’s Highlands which, in turn, is one of 13 regional tourism organizations created by the provincial government as a way to increase tourism to Ontario. OHTO covers a large part of eastern Ontario, including the counties of Frontenac, Haliburton, Hastings, Lanark, Lennox and Addington, and Renfrew. “OHvation gives participants a framework to build a culture of service excellence into their businesses and become designated and recognized as a customer service leader,” Hessel explained. The program provides training and access to helpful resources, includes a self-evaluation tool and gives the opportunity for designation through a mystery shop evaluation. The maple businesses earning the OHvation designation include Balderson Fine Foods, Coutts Country Flavours, Dorian Heights Maple Products, Fortune Farms Maple Sugar Bush, Ottawa Valley Fudge (The Cheddar Stop), Paul’s Maple Products, Providence Point Maple Syrup, Stead’s Maple Syrup, Stone Cellar, Swallowtail Farm & Pottery, Thompsontown Maple Products, Village Treats, and Wheelers Pancake House and Sugar Camp. “Achieving the OHvation designation is just one more way our local maple producers and retailers can enhance the wonderful experiences our visitors to Lanark County already receive,” says Marie White, Lanark County Tourism manager. “We extend our congratulations to these businesses and thank them for their commitment to customer service.” Tourism-related businesses interested in the OHvation program can apply online at http://ohto.ca/initiatives/ ohvation/ to receive a resource kit and, if interested, a complimentary mystery shop. Submitted by the County of Lanark.

Freeman says she has been welcomed with open arms by locals and tourism operators in the region, who have introduced her to true rural spirit and played an integral part in suggesting which small town treasures and hidden gems to explore. “Each community I visit offers something unique, has a different pace of life, a distinct culture and a new story to tell,” she says. “I encour-

age everyone in Ontario’s Highlands to show their small town pride by suggesting new places that I can share with travellers from the city.” Suggestions can be made by using #OHletsgo on social media. To participate in the road trip and promote Ontario’s Highlands, the OHTO also asks tourism operators to share the hashtag with their summer visitors, who can enter to win a GoPro HERO3+ camera by sharing their travel photos and Ontario’s Highlands experiences using #OHletsgo. Visitors can also enter to win one of three “Great Escape” road trips by visiting ohletsgo.ca and voting on their favourite rural escape before Aug. 31. About OHTO The Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) is a not-forprofit organization mandated by the Province of Ontario to increase tourism within the counties of Haliburton, Lanark, and Renfrew and portions of Frontenac, Hastings, and Lennox and Addington.

News – When Carly Freeman signed on to become a social media brand ambassador in Ontario’s Highlands, she knew the job would put her in some wonderfully unfamiliar situations. But the Humber College Public Relations graduate and self-proclaimed city slicker didn’t anticipate that she would find herself high-fiving other tourists after completing a nerve-jangling walk across a suspension bridge nestled high in the trees; swimming through a perfectly calm lagoon while dressed in a shining gold, spandexlike mermaid tail; or paddling a 34foot replica Voyageur canoe next to a couple of guides dressed from head to toe in beaver fur, just like 1800s fur traders. “I am having a blast exploring the unexpected, quirky and surprising in Ontario’s Highlands this summer,” says Freeman. “Coming from Toronto, I never imagined that I would encounter so many jaw-dropping moments right in my backyard. My arm hairs have literally been standing up on ends since I began this adventure.” Freeman has been on the road since May, taking part in a “Great Escape” road trip across Ontario’s Highlands, which spans from the Halibur-

Smiths Falls aims to break national record in Ice Bucket Challenge Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News - Supporters of ALS Canada will be taking the weather in Smiths Falls into their own hands Sept. 13 by choosing to dump ice-cold water on their heads. They are asking the residents of Smiths Falls to join them. “Come together Smiths Falls and let’s do the largest ice bucket challenge in Smiths Falls,” urges John Maloney of the Rideau Winery. He has committed to dumping 10 ice buckets on his head if the community helps him raise $1,000. Those who donate $25 to Maloney will be able to fill a bucket. The hope is to record Smiths Falls’ attempt at breaking the record for the most ice bucket challenge participants at a single time and then post it on YouTube and Facebook with a challenge to other neighbouring communities to try and break their efforts. As of Monday, Aug. 25 approximately 60 people from politicians to business owners and other residents have confirmed they will take part in the challenge. Perth has already taken up the challenge and plans to host its own record breaking event Sept. 14 at Stewart Park. Maloney is one of the few brave souls who have volunteered to take part in Smiths Falls’ attempt to break the record and hopes many others will join him with their buckets at 11:30 a.m. down at Lower Reach Park. Mayor Dennis Staples and Cy Wells will be tipping the bucket over their heads at 10:30 a.m. Hugh Colton and Jassmin Peladeau of Town & Country Chrysler have confirmed they will stand alongside Maloney in this effort. Peladeau was inspired to accept the Ice Bucket Challenge after his three children, aged eight, five and

four, took it on recently. “I’m telling you it’s beautiful,” Peladeau said. He opted to wait until Sept. 13 before experiencing the big freeze himself in support of raising funds in support of ALS Canada. All participants are asked to collect pledges or make a donation for the ice bucket challenge. Anyone interested in taking part is asked to call Sandra Burson at 613-284-1241. “I want to get a challenge out there to the mayor” as well as candidate mayors, Burson said. The overwhelming reaction to the Ice Bucket Challenge has surprised many in the ALS community, including ALS Canada who has recently taken their website down in favour of a site focusing exclusively on the challenge. “It’s unbelievable. It’s really, really taken off,” said Lianne Johnston, ALS Canada regional manager of the Champlain region. The Ice Bucket Challenge has meant an additional $1.2 million in funds raised in just a two-week period (as of Aug. 21) for the national not-for-profit. The overall challenge goal in Canada is set at $3 million. ALS Walk The Smiths Falls ALS Walk coordinator is extremely pleased with the support the Ice Bucket Challenge has received. The community has been supporting ALS research and family assistance for 16 years now with the annual fundraising walk. The record-breaking attempt at Lower Reach Park will be folded into this year’s annual walk. Those interested in raising pledges for the event are more than welcome to come out Sept. 13. Walk registration will begin at 9 a.m. with 10 a.m. start.

nament. Robinson said providing free access to such programs is “something we’re really committed to.” She urges the town, including organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters to come forward with suggestions on further programming to offer on the rink so that it may provide quality physical activity for as many youths as possible. “Without a doubt in my mind this facility will be one we can all be very proud of,” Robinson added. “This truly has been a community partnership.” The Gerry Lowe Memorial Foundation has been raising and accepting funds for this project for some time. One donation of $5,000 came from the Tunis Shriners through the Land O’ Lakes Shrine Club. John Hawkins, 2014 Potentate, said this project fits very well with their overall mission and values making the decision to put their support behind it an easy one. “Children are what the Shriners are all about,” Hawkins said. Shawn Pankow and John Maloney raised a further $500 Aug. 20 by cooking up some hot dogs for a donation on site of the ground breaking. Work behind the scenes to get this rink on the ground began about three years ago, according to Colton.

out. “No one in this town will ever go without the opportunity to be active,” Garvin said. Helping Canadian children remain active is the ultimate goal of the Sens Rink of Dreams program. Leeder explained one in five children in this area can’t afford the cost of recreational programming. Not having at least 30-minutes of activity a day has been shown to impact a child in many ways from their stress level to poor academic performance and ultimately contributing to obesity and other health issues. “We want to be a game changer for our kids,” Leeder added. “Every dollar we invest in social recreation will reduce the societal costs.” Last week the Senators announced they have now contributed $100 million to communities in the region through programs like the Sens RINK project. Mayor Dennis Staples noted the significant and incalculable benefits the town’s youth today and future children will see thanks to this project coming to fruition. “For this we say thank you, thank you,” Staples added. “This is a fitting tribute to Gerry Lowe.” Lowe’s commitment to quietly helping others and the town’s strong connection to hockey made funding this fourth Rink of Dreams a natural for the hockey organization. “We couldn’t think of a better place to build a Sens rink than Smiths Falls,” Leeder told the crowd Aug. 20. The rink will be NHL-size with boards, lighting and a concrete pad. Hugh Colton, who emceed the ground-breaking ceremonies last week, explained the rink will be free for anyone to use all year long. When ice is not on the pad physical activities such as basketball, lacrosse and ball hockey will be welcomed. “This is a very exciting day and a positive day for our community,” Colton said. Danielle Robinson, president of the Ottawa Senators Foundation, provided further information to the programs the Gerry Lowe Memorial Sens RINK will provide the Smiths Falls youth. I love to Skate Program provides skates, a helmet and instruction for kids who don’t know how to skate. A second program aimed at 10-15 year olds will also provide equipment, a jersey and lessons in the sport of hockey all free of charge. This program will wrap up with an end of season tour-

ity 3D printer. The CFDC has secured $76,000 through the Canadian Manufacturing and Exporters Association for the purchase of the machine, but she must find dollars to match that. The need is there for the equipment. During a survey of CFDC clients two years ago 20 per cent reported a keen interest in having access to such equipment. A 3D printer would allow companies to create a threedimensional image of a new product they hope to put to market to see if there are any design flaws before going into production. Ultimately, the new accelerator/incubator is phase one of the CFDC’s overall plan. Preliminary discussions are already underway to open a second site at the Gallipeau Centre. This centre would be themed to the sectors that seem to be growing in the region. The buzz from this proposed centre is already resulting in business openings. Fournier told Smiths Falls council that two light manufacturing/ R&D companies are looking at co-locating in the same wing at the Gallipeau Centre. At this stage, the CFDC would also be looking at opening satellite offices in communities within Lanark County.

an unknown sum. Montague Township’s request is two $7,500 installments. “It’s a real opportunity for them,” Fournier said of Montague. No other community is being asked for support this year as first-year impact will likely centre around the Smiths Falls area. The centre is expected to cost $100,000 in the first year. Of that the CFDC has secured a $50,000 grant from the Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP) and must raise the remaining $50,000. Smiths Falls councillors verbally supported the project calling it marvelous, exciting and an investment in the future. Discussion on the financial request will come back to the next Committee of the Whole in a couple of weeks. Fournier underlined that the centre will not be an annual budget item, adding she expects it will be self-sustaining within two years. Once the centre is established in mid-to-late October this year, Fournier will shift her focus to raising funds to purchase a manufacturing qual-

Rural municipalities brace for impact of new OPP funding formula this fall sroy@perfprint.ca

News - Rural municipalities are anticipating higher police costs next year following the release of the OPP funding formula. What isn’t clear is how they will absorb this financial blow. “Everybody knew from the beginning that there would be some winners and losers and Montague, we knew from the beginning we would be one of the losers,” said township reeve Bill Dobson. The formula, which comes into effect Jan. 1, 2015, splits the cost for policing into two segments: a base service fee, which is expected to be approximately $200 per household and represent 60 per cent of the total annual police cost. The base service will include patrol, crime prevention, operational (negotiations, drug processing, etc.), training, administrative duties and other legislated activities. The remaining 40 per cent will look at calls for service and will vary from one municipality to another. This detail is not expected until later this fall. The new formula will be phased in over a period of five years with a maximum increase of $40 per household each year. Going forward, police costs will be reviewed at the end of each year and an actual cost of service will be forwarded to municipalities with a credit or debit made accordingly. “Our experience has been that we credit the municipality,” said Pierre Chamberland, OPP spokes-

person. Right now the formula released Aug. 14 has created more questions than answers. These answers will be coming to municipal councils this year. “We have a responsibility to tell municipalities what’s going on,” Chamberland said. He confirmed an OPP representative will be attending council meetings this year to explain the formula and field questions from local politicians. The primary question on the minds of politicians in the Smiths Falls area is making sure the system is fair and that communities are paying strictly for the policing they are using. “It’s a significant hit for over 230 municipalities,” Rideau Lakes mayor Ron Holman added. “Anyone with a lot of seasonal properties will probably see a significant increase.” Dobson questions the way in which commercial properties are being counted as households. He said malls will be counted as one household, but each apartment in an apartment building will be seen as its own household. Chamberland couldn’t confirm this information by deadline this week. Holman lobbied the provincial government (who is responsible for setting the billing rates for police) to delay the new formula implementation until later in the year due to the municipal elections this fall. “One of the first issues for a new council will

have to be to adjust the budget to accommodate the new formula,” Holman said. There are some benefits to the new formula. Dobson points to the opportunity for municipalities to have a more detailed break down of where their police dollars are going. “To me, those things are all good,” Dobson

FIREFIGHTERS BOOT DRIVE 32nd Annual Smiths Falls and District Muscular Dystrophy Voluntary Boot Drive

Saturday August 30th 8am to 3pm on Beckwith Street

About Muscular Dystrophy Muscular dystrophy is the name for a group of neuromuscular disorders that are characterized by progressive weakness and R0012866543/0828

wasting of the voluntary muscles that control body movement. As muscle tissue weakens and wastes away, it is replaced by fatty and connective tissue.

Each form of muscular dystrophy is caused by an error in a specific gene associated with muscle function; however, specific disorders within this group vary in many ways. The muscles involved are different from one disorder to another. The severity of the symptoms, the age at which the symptoms appear, how fast the symptoms progress, and what pattern of inheritance the disorder follows, are all factors which differ among the various forms of muscular dystrophy. Even within a specific disorder, several individuals with the same disorder may experience the disorder and its symptoms quite differently.

Two Locations to Serve You! 76 Beckwith Street North Smiths Falls • (613) 283-6597 111 Lombard Street Hwy. 15 South Smiths Falls • (613) 283-6993

Muscular dystrophies are genetic disorders. Forms of muscular dystrophy can be passed on from generation to generation, or they can occur spontaneously in a single individual as the result of a mutation of a particular gene. Contrary to popular belief, muscular dystrophy is not exclusively a childhood disorder - anyone can be affected. While some types of muscular dystrophy are first evident in infancy or early childhood, other types may not appear until later in life. Over time, persons with neuromuscular disorders may lose the ability to walk, speak, and ultimately breathe. For some individuals, the disorder is fatal. There is currently no cure.

News - The following information came from the regular Committee of the Whole agenda and a zoning public meeting held Monday, Aug. 25, 2014.

Torch relay planned for 2015

Smiths Falls has entered into an agreement with the Toronto Organizing Committee for the 2015 Pan American and Parapan American Games to host a Torch Relay in town in celebration of the upcoming event. Further details will be made available in the coming weeks. Councillors verbally gave their support to the Two Rivers Food Hub this week. This support will result in a formal resolution coming forward to council to release $5,000 of funding from the economic development leverage budget. The $20,000 leverage budget has not been used so far this year and will mean a zero impact to the 2014 budget. Councillor Chris Cummings supported the agenda item, but did note he has some concerns with the food hub’s business plan as presented. “I’m just not sure how it’s going to work, but it’s a great concept,” he stated.

Councillor supported moving into lame duck status between Sept. 12Nov. 30, 2014 to allow for the 2014 municipal election to play out. In addition to this, councillors supported temporarily shifting the decision-making powers to Malcolm Morris, newly named CAO during this period. Kerry Costello, director of corporate services/clerk explained not to do this would prohibit a number of significant upcoming items such as the hiring of a new fire prevention officer and firefighter, land acquisition or disposal and the hiring of a community services manager for the town. It was confirmed all budgeted items, including formal approval of the Official Plan can go forward at the council level. A by-law is to come to council.

Councillors supported hiring the Mississippi River Valley Conservation Authority for a period of two-to-three years for the purpose of managing the town’s Clean Water Act compliance. Joynt explained the first few years will be labour intensive and the MRVCA already has the expertise in this situation to navigate the new system expertly. Cost for the service is $2,585 for year one and two. The town has received a $65,000 grant, which will cover the costs of this work until the end of 2015 when the funding expires. The town does have the right to review in two years time and take back management if they wish.

Staff will look into a stronger garbage bag tag following a recommendation from Coun. Dawn Quinn.

Ted Joynt, director of water and wastewater services confirmed the town’s water services are protected should an outbreak of blue-green algae occur within the intake valve of the town’s water system. “Should anything happen we’re more than ready to take care of it,” Joynt confirmed. The area around Poonamalie and the water treatment plant is an ideal area for the algae to grow given its slow moving water, but Joynt said staff is trained to deal with the issue. It was noted the beach and all water areas are being monitored by the Leeds-Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

Councillors will support Heritage House Museum’s application for an Ontario Job Creation Partnerships Program. The grant, if approved, would be for a six-month term beginning in September and will help the museum with marketing, new programs, and making partnerships in the community. Kevin O’Dair, community development coordinator said this may help relieve some of the burden on existing museum staff.

School safety returns with the bell News - It is that time of year again. The days are shorter, the weather a little cooler and most importantly of all the children are heading back to school after the summer holidays. The school buses are back on the road and we have to remember the laws pertaining to school buses and the safety of our children. Always stop for the bus Whether on a street, highway or county road, and regardless of the speed limit and the number of lanes, motorists traveling in both directions must stop when approaching a stopped school bus with its upper red lights flashing. A flashing stop arm will swing out while passengers are boarding or leaving the bus. Once all passengers have boarded, the stop arm will fold away. Do not start moving until the red lights have stopped flashing and the bus begins to move. (Penalties for not stopping: First offence $400 to $2,000

Leading the pack

and six demerit points and the fines increase for each subsequent offence.) School Safety Zone Drivers should remember that for the safety of the students there are reduced speed limits in the area of schools during school hours. Drivers also need to remember that crossing guards will be out during the beginning and end of the school day. Drivers must be aware and obey crossing guard signals and all posted traffic signs. The Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) for September is school bus and school zone safety. Smiths Falls police officers will be enforcing all Highway Traffic Act violations especially in a School Zone to keep our children and roadways safe.

Crying need for missing women’s inquest

Editorial – Just call the inquest already. How much more “I don’t care,” attitude can our native population take? If this was any other group of women, there would be a national outcry – and rightly so. Yes, this editorial is angry because we’re fed up with the indifference of this government towards our fellow Canadians. Because the police can only do so much. Because there is clearly so much, much more at play here. Because the government is afraid that maybe, just maybe an inquiry would point out the obvious – that it is criminal that now, in 2014, that our native people continue to live in third world conditions. This week, the Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger called out Prime Minister Stephen Harper, saying he was missing the point in not calling for an inquiry into murdered and aboriginal women. This issue has come to the fore yet again this month with the death of 15-year-old Tina Fontaine, whose body was found in a bag in the Red River in Manitoba on Aug. 15. One of the top priorities of any government is the protection of its people. Speaking in Moncton, New Brunswick, as that province heads into an election campaign, federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said that Harper is “just out of touch with Canadians on this issue,” and added, for good measure, that he is “also on the wrong side of history.” All provincial and territorial premiers and leaders have endorsed calls for a national inquiry. So that means right-wing premiers like Christy Clark in British Columbia, Alberta’s Dave Hancock, Saskatchewan’s Brad Wall, Quebec’s Phillipe Couillard, Tom Marshall of Newfoundland and Labrador, and David Alward of New Brunswick. Harper has called these murders and disappearances a “crime,” rather than a “sociological phenomenon.” So, in other words, bad things are happening, yes, but in no way are they tied together, rooted in anything like poverty, substance abuse, and family dysfunction. Harper, you say that the police are dealing with the issue. But, clearly, it is not being dealt with. It is still continuing at an unacceptable rate. It is something that, as Selinger said, affects communities across Canada. So, say, the Regina police force can only take care of what is happening within its borders. Ditto some officer working on a reserve in remote northwestern Ontario, or a cop walking the beat on Vancouver’s east side. The concept of the Hub model of policing could help. The Hub model may not answer all of the problems, but, by working in concert, the police and social service agencies can address problems before they go along, unchecked. We need national leadership on this. This is a time when the provinces cannot handle this issue all on their own. What more evidence do you need to see that there is a need?

Growing from the inside out

Editorial - Stop the presses, folks there is some exciting news in the business world! Valley Heartland CFDC has announced they plan to open an incubator/accelerator business centre at the Gallipeau Centre as early as mid-to-late October this year. Hearing words like game changing and unprecedented for rural economy is music to my ears when it comes to Smiths Falls and more importantly the Gallipeau Centre site. It doesn’t seem that long ago when the last resident of Rideau Regional Centre left the halls of that institution and the doors shut. At the time there were tears and fears because no one knew what would come around to re-open those doors again or if anything would. The years following 2009 were challenging ones for the community. I have to admit it was heart breaking to cover the stories of closure and job loss. It seemed employment

STACEY ROY For the Record

centre openings replaced business openings in the town and it took hard work to move that gloomy cloud from above our heads, mine included. Enter the vision and commitment from one local contracting business and we have the Gallipeau Centre. Just having this available business space has been a generator of interest and set the business world’s imagination free to contemplate what could be possible. That kind of thinking brought us Parrot Partners, a new life theatre space, and the Hub. And now we have the proposed incubator/accelerator centre and I find myself sitting back and thinking once again - what will be possible?

It’s in moments like these that I find it hard to stick to my job description and sit in my seat placidly taking notes of what is being said. Those who know me know I have too many opinions to do this for any real length of time, and this announcement is no different. So please just let me get this out of my system here: YAY! YAHOO! and one final deep sigh. I hope the centre gets the start-up funding it seeks so all of us in Lanark and NorthLeeds can collectively sit back and day dream how the new businesses coming out of the centre will shape our communities and offer our young workers a reason to keep the home fires burning. This will certainly be an interesting few years ahead of us and, for a change, a period where bright blue sky and a few calm moments of ease can be ours. What a great way to start this new council term and new chapter in town.

Financial stability feeds a thriving community: says Shawn Pankow is advocating for the town to undertake an independent service review that will look at all areas of town hall, including police and fire service and whether there may be some potential for collaboration with our neighbours. “I think we need to be open minded to the possibilities,” Pankow added. “We

News – Shawn Pankow has a vision for making Smiths Falls the most desired community in eastern Ontario, but to get there he must get the financial house in order. “I love this town and I think it’s got tremendous possibilities,” Pankow adds. “We need to build on that and in order to build on that we need to be very financially responsible.” Throughout his tenure as councillor, Pankow has been concerned with the town’s capital debt ballooning from $8 million in 2009 to $21 million in 2013. While he admits the existing payment plan will provide some breathing room in four-to-five years he asks voters: “What surprises will come up that we’ll have to face” in that time. For this reason the mayoral candidate

News – Can you hear it? The sound of hammers swinging and residential growth climbing will be a familiar sound in Smiths Falls if Rob Peters is elected mayor. Past town councillor and Smiths Falls business owner, Rob Peters is committed to stepping down from running his business in order to lead the town into its bright future. “I think this is the time for Smiths Falls to step into the next generation,” Peters added. “Without growth we’re not going to sustain ourselves.” Peters was speaking to a crowd of people Aug. 21 at his campaign headquarters inside Davidson’s Courtyard where he formally launched his campaign to become mayor of Smiths Falls. His two primary goals are to address residential growth and transit. In terms of growth, Peters is setting a goal of 100 new homes or repurposed homes coming online a year in town. “When we run out of space I’ll feel like I have done my job,” Peters said. He strongly feels that only when residential growth is present will the town be able to meaningfully address the high taxation rates for both commercial and multi-residential property owners. To start the ball rolling, Peters is calling for an economic development summit as soon as the election is over where

Rob Peters is hoping to return to the council table. This time as mayor, this fall. developers, organizations and other stakeholders will gather to discuss what the obstacles and opportunities are to growing the town. Peters dismissed comments that the town is running out of space to develop, noting the recently demolished former South Unit hospital as prime town land and the lands around the Gallipeau Centre, as well as unused town-owned properties. The mayoral candidate is hoping to begin discussions with the owners of the former South Unit lands in hopes to see new development there soon.

Letter to the Editor

Election signs are not souvenirs DEAR EDITOR:

This weekend I was in my yard when a Montague resident drove into my driveway to tell me my election signs on the north side of Roger Stevens Road had been removed. This individual saw someone in a small red car pull over, pick up my signs, put them in their car and drive off. Later on I had been advised that two of my election signs on McLachlin Road were removed. I have reported the incidents to the Lanark County

OPP and am urging anyone who may witness someone removing my signs from the roadside to please write down their licence plate number and report it to the police at 613-267-2626. These signs cost candidates like myself money and are important parts of our campaign. Thank you for your assistance, Molly King councillor candidate in Montague Township

need to be able to look at everything we do, how we do it and can we do it better in the future.” This includes looking at a regional force, OPP or any other opportunity that makes sense for the town. In terms of fire service Pankow wonders if regional services can collaborate beyond the traditional mutual aid agreements. Thinking outside the norm and making hard decisions is the only way Pankow feels the town will be able to set itself on a strong financial footing, while meeting the needs of incoming residential and business growth, which are critical to the town’s long-term prosperity. “Just because that’s the way we’ve done it in the past doesn’t mean that’s the best way to do it,” Pankow later added. “Without the willingness to make changes it’s going to be a tough term.” Capitalizing on the town’s natural assets and surrounding opportunities like the former water treatment plant is important to the town, and it starts with creating the right positive tone at town hall. “The mayor sets the town to a great extent,” Pankow later added. “That open for business, how can we help you approach that can enable things to happen.” He went on to say: We’ve got tremen-

dous opportunity to grow but we’ve got to create the right environment.” Once this positive environment is struck Pankow is confident jobs will return to the community, giving them the taxes necessary to move forward with his plan to make Smiths Falls the most desirable town to live in within eastern Ontario. Some of the ingredients for this vision are already in place. “It’s a key piece of our infrastructure, really,” Pankow said of The Hub. “I think we need to support it.” Other elements of his overall vision can be found in existing town plans such as the Downtown Revitalization and Waterfront Master Plan and the Pedestrian Linkage Study. “It’s a great example of what this town can be in the future,” Pankow said. Once the town’s finances are in order this mayoral candidate hopes to start completing key recommendations from these plans. Pankow said knowing what Smiths Falls can be and feeling passionate about being part of the work force to make it happen is why he wanted to put his name in for the top seat. Pankow has opened a Facebook account (Shawn Pankow for Mayor of Smiths Falls) where he posts updates on his campaign.

Answer: I am a travel agent at The Adventure Travel Company in Ottawa and I have 30 years travel experience working for small and large agencies, as well as owning an agency myself. I believe my business background is an asset to Montague Township taxpayers. I have lived in Montague the majority of my life with my family having lived in Montague for a very long time. I am very proud to call Montague home and believe in supporting local groups.

Question 2: Is this your first election as a candidate, and why have you decided to run in this year’s election? Answer: I have been a councillor for eight years now and feel I can better serve the taxpayers of Montague by representing them locally, as well as at county council level.

monitoring and roads are a high priority.

Question 4: How do you see your community in the next 10-20 years? Answer: I would like to see Montague remain as an independent community and not amalgamate, but have a reciprocal agreement with our neighbours. Our motto of country living at its best is Question 3: Can you explain your important to me. top three priority issues you would like Question 5: Is there anything you to work on if you are elected and why would like voters to know before they they are so important to you? Answer: The first issue is to work go to the polls this fall? Answer: I have proven that I have the with Smiths Falls to obtain a better agreement with water and waste water. best interest of our taxpayers at heart Our recreation agreement with Smiths and I have a good working relationship Falls is also something that needs close with our staff.

down with the neighbouring townships to see how they can develop lands surrounding the town, particularly the lands past Walmart on Hwy 15. “I think that’s really, really important,” he later added. “I think you have to have the right type of relationship.” Opening up a conversation of compromise around recreational cost sharing and the future costs of servicing the lands at the Gallipeau Centre are also on Peters’ lengthy to-do list. “We don’t change the deal,” Peters said of the existing agreement between the town and Montague Township. “If we develop that property we both gain from it.” His second priority is creating a transit link from town to Ottawa. Peters looks to the growth in Carleton Place and Kemptville as being mostly driven by their access to 400 series highways. “We’re not going down that road, but I believe light rail is still a possibility,”

Peters added. “When I get elected I will be at Queen’s Park and I will be fighting” to get transit funding. That fight comes from three years where Peters commuted into the city. This has left the mayoral candidate with a desire to see the town lead the charge on this important economic driver. “This community needs to be able to move,” Peters added. “We need to have a transit plan so we can sell it to the community that’s coming here.” Peters applauds the current efforts to discuss bus service from Smiths Falls to Ottawa, but encourages those involved in the dialogue to have forward thinking and not get bogged down in the numbers as they are presented today. “Those numbers don’t really reflect the reality,” he said. The true decision should be based on what a commuter service can expect in five years once new residents who would use such a service move to town. The audience asked him to discuss

his position on the town’s financial position to which Peters said he felt the town’s debt was manageable, but that fiscal “belt tightening” needed to be done. “We definitely have to get our financial house in order,” Peters said. He advocates finding efficiencies throughout municipal operations (such as reviewing the operation of the airport and the value of the new fire truck) and applying it to the debt. “I don’t know any businessman that purchases more than they need,” Peters said in reference to the fire truck. The recent OPP formula has raised some new questions for this mayoral candidate who is interested in looking at any options to save funds. Peters has opened a Facebook account “Rob Peters for Mayor of Smiths Falls” where he posts updates on his campaign. He also invites people to stop by his campaign office at 7 Russell Street West.

Financial inequities, unfinished promises issues at Ontario municipal conference Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News – Attempting to balance the books, be they municipal or the hospital’s, was the focus of area politicians who attended the recent Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference in London, Ontario. Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples provided an update on the three delegations he attended at AMO from Aug. 17-20. Staples spoke with Indira Naidoo-Harris, parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Health regarding the outstanding $4.6 million cheque the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital is still waiting for following completion of the redevelopment of the Smiths Falls site in 2012. Mayor Staples spoke not only with Naidoo-Harris, but ran into Premier Wynne the evening of Aug. 18 where he asked her to flow 80-to-90 per cent of the funds needed to assist the hospital who had to take out a loan to cover the gap in their balance sheet. Mayor Staples stated the town and hospital are still waiting for the money. The other two delegations had to do with requests for funding. Mayor Staples spoke with Attorney General Madeleine Meilleur about the town’s $9,900 request under the 2014-2015 Civil Remedies Grant Program to purchase a radar machine. Staples was told the program has $1 million available and $5 million of requests. “We’ll have to wait and see,” the mayor concluded. The ability to aggressively go after outstanding court fines is of critical importance to Rideau Lakes Township mayor Ron Holman. The mayor was pleased to see a positive response to the Eastern Ontario Warden Caucus’ request to have Bill 34 brought back to Parliament for passing after it died the last time Parliament dissolved. The bill will allow counties like Leeds-Grenville to receive detailed information that may help them track down individuals who have outstanding fines under the Provincial Offences Act (PAO). Holman said outstanding fines have grown from $4 million in 2001 (when the PAO system was downloaded to the county) to $10 million in Leeds-Grenville alone. Adding to this financial strain is the decision to upload a total of $35 million of Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding this year. “Communities can least afford it,” Holman said. The additional revenue from the PAO collections would help greatly in bridging the reductions to funding some municipalities have been faced with. Both mayors and reeve Bill Dobson attended the delegation on joint and several liability. This concept speaks to the possibility of municipality’s being forced to cover a significant portion of costs in an accident even if they are found to be responsible for just one per cent of the incident. Holman explains this could happen if the party found largely responsible was unable to pay. “The government is still not seeing it the way the municipalities are seeing it,” Dobson said. “We really don’t think it’s fair.” Municipalities were asking for a clause

to be added into the joint and several liability section that would ensure a reasonable limit would be placed on municipalities in these cases. The ministry was not interested in changing their system at all. AMO has sent a letter to the ministry challenging the original intent of the Negligence Act, stating it was never intended to place a burden on municipalities. “It is entirely unfair to ask municipalities to carry the lion’s share of a damage award when at minimal fault or to assume responsibility for someone else’s mistake. Other jurisdictions have recognized the current model of joint and several liability is not sustainable. It is time for Ontario to do the same,” reads the letter, in part. AMO notes this element of the Negligence Act will only serve to further reduce services in our communities so that liability can be contained. Dobson then attended a food hubs workshop where the systems in Kawartha Lakes and North Humberland were profiled. The Two Rivers Food Hub, of which Dobson is a member, is hoping to launch in the region shortly and will service communities in Lanark County and LeedsGrenville. The township reeve was interested to learn more about how these two food hubs launched in other parts of the province. “I’m hoping that we’ll get municipal support from the county’s of Leeds-Grenville and Lanark, but that remains to be seen,” Dobson said. The cooperation and spirit of partnership for a common good behind the Two Rivers Food Hub is something Dobson would like to replicate between communities, particularly in economic development. Working together to keep infrastructure such as roads and bridges in good repair is the focus of the Building Canada Fund, announced by the federal government this past March. During the AMO conference municipalities did learn that qualifying

applications for the fund must be in by mid-September this year. “We have to do work on that,” Holman said. Smiths Falls has also approved making application for the Stone Arch Bridge and

the reconstruction of Foster Avenue. Within this 10-year fund is a $1 billion across Canada for a Small Communities Fund. These dollars will be earmarked for municipalities with populations under 100, 000. There is also $3.9 billion avail-

able for municipalities under the federal Gas Tax Fund. As well, Holman learned the $100 million roads and bridges fund is currently being reviewed. “That’s a step forward,” he said.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, exercise caution when expressing your needs. It can be difficult to stop when you are drumming up so much excitement. Now is not the time to take a risk.

Err on the side of caution with regard to spending this week, Libra. You have to save up for a bigger purchase that’s on the horizon, so try to save as much as you can now.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, you may have overextended yourself this week. You didn’t realize you had taken on so much until it was too late, but there is still time to backtrack.

Scorpio, only now do you realize how much you have on your plate. Think about postponing a getaway until your schedule is less packed and you can enjoy the trip even more.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Gemini, committing to a daily routine can have a strong impact on your overall health. Consider tailoring a new routine for yourself, and you’ll reap the healthy rewards.

Sagittarius, turn work into play and things will move along that much more quickly. Split up the tasks at hand with a friend or colleague, and the week will fly by.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Take things slow with a budding relationship this week, Cancer. You don’t want to go too fast and find yourself in over your head. Let things develop gradually.

Capricorn, even though you don’t have much time for yourself, you feel compelled to spend more time with others. Make some time for yourself as well.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, carefully consider any offer that seems too good to be true this week. While the person making the offer is not ill-intentioned, you still must exercise caution.

Aquarius, you secretly enjoy when others come to you for advice. Think carefully before making any suggestions, and your friends will be more appreciative because of it.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Big ideas sweep in this week and leave you with a lot of inspiration, Virgo. Don’t get too lost in fantastical ideas, though. Wait a little bit before finalizing plans.

Now is the time to further your studies, Pisces. Figure out how to finance a return to school and make the most of the opportunity.

In loving memory of Gary Bron October 1, 1945 - September 1, 2013 We knew little that morning, That God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us precious memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one… The chain will link again.

News – With 26 motorcycle fatalities on record so far this year and at least two more months of the motorcycle season remaining, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is concerned that 2014 motorcycle deaths could reach a seven-year high. As of Aug. 18, 25 motorcyclists and one passenger have died in motorcycle crashes within OPP jurisdiction this year. The high number has prompted the OPP to share some facts and dispel some myths relating to the fatal motorcycle collisions it investigates in an effort to raise awareness about motorcycle safety. Earlier this month, OPP Aircraft Enforcement Patrol (AEP) clocked a motorcyclist travelling at 210 kilometres per hour, charging him under Ontario’s stunt driving law. The AEP airplane conducts patrol throughout the province and is highly effective at spotting motorcycles and other vehicles travelling at high rates of speed. “Other than a careless few that we come across during our enforcement operations, the OPP believes that Ontario motorcyclists in general recognize that they are a vulnerable road user and demonstrate safe, defensive driving. We are relying on motorcyclists and the motoring public to work with us and join in our efforts to keep motorcycling safe. The solution is simple: ride and drive within the law,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support. The following data reflect motorcycle fatalities within OPP jurisdiction: Myth: Young, inexperienced motorcyclists are the most vulnerable, at-risk riders and account for the largest number of victims who die in motorcycle crashes in Ontario. Fact: From 2008 to 2014 (as of Aug. 18), only 16 of the 175 motorcyclists who have died on Ontario roads were under the age of 25. The age group with the highest rate of fatality is the 45-54 year group, which comprises 48 of the 175 victims. The second highest age group is

the 55-64 year group, with 39 victims in that category. Combined, these two age groups account for almost half of the fatalities (87). Myth: Those who die in motorcycle crashes are doing something wrong at the time of the incident. Like other drivers, motorcyclists can avoid crashes if they drive properly and within the law. Fact: Between 2008 and 2014, for 50 of the 175 motorcycle victims, the driver of the motorcycle was driving properly at the time. Far too often, the actions of another driver are a causal factor in motorcycle crashes. Motorcycles are much harder to see than other vehicles. As a rider, it is important to wear high visibility equipment and put yourself in the proper lane positioning to increase your chances of being seen by other motorists. As a motorist sharing the road with motorcyclists, you need to maintain a keen awareness of your surroundings and always be on watch for motorcycles, especially in blind spots before changing lanes. Myth: Motorcyclists are at far greater risk of crashing when riding on wet roads. Fact: While true that riding on wet roads places an additional risk on riders, 158 of the 175 motorcyclists who have died between 2008 and 2014 (to date) were riding on dry roads. Other facts relating to the 175 OPP-investigated motorcycle fatalities from 2008 to 2014 (as of Aug. 18): • 168 of the victims were the driver, seven were passengers. • 156 of the victims were men, 19 were women. Top contributing factors (on the part of the motorcyclist and/or other driver(s) involved in the collision): • Speed: Factor in 43 of the deaths. • Lost control: Factor in 29 of the deaths. • Alcohol: Factor in 21 of the deaths. • Fail to yield: Factor in 20 of the deaths. • Inattention: Factor in 18 of the deaths. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

News – The following information came from an emailed interview conducted by the Record News. Question 1: Can you give me a brief biography on yourself? Answer: I grew up on my parents’ dairy farm in Elgin, Ontario where I attended South Crosby Elementary and Rideau District High Schools. After completing a liberal arts degree at Ryerson University, I promptly came back to carry on with farm life. I am serving as the chair of the South Crosby Recreation Committee (SCRC).

Question 3: Can you explain your top three priority issues you would like to work on if you are elected and why they are so important to you? Answer: My top three priorities are: A) Representing the interests and concerns of South Crosby residents. I would try to make myself accessible and open to criticism and suggestions by publishing my contact information as much as possible and by attending as many community events and meetings as possible. B) Emphasizing long term planning to ensure the healthy growth and sustainability of the Rideau Lakes. We should be offering (and promoting) services to the residents we have, as well as to the residents we would like to have. Public transportation would be one service. More support and incentives for local, independent business owners, and families would also be good places to start. C) Making it easier for residents to work with their township by cutting back on excessive legislation and encouraging a more cooperative, transparent local government and municipal staff.

Question 2: Is this your first election as a candidate and why have you chosen to run in this year’s election? My candidacy in South Crosby is as a newcomer slated against our two incumbents. I chose to run in this year’s election for several reasons. I believe that I can represent and resolve the concerns of residents. I feel that local people of working age are under-represented by our current council. Finally, the council has focused on short-term planning and spending, and doesn’t seem to have any long term ideas on how to sustain a rural township Question 4: How do you see your with a declining and aging population, community in the next 10-20 years? especially when tourism, the Rideau CaAnswer: I would like to see more of nal, and local economies are also strug- our local high school graduates return gling. to the area to start careers and families.

On April 4, 2014 they held a formal anniversary celebration where the above photo was taken. The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years. R0012864886/0828

Saltos gymnasts compete in international championships Sports - The 18-member team of aerobic gymnastic athletes represented Canada at the recent ANAC International Aerobics Championship held in Las Vegas, July 27 – Aug. 1. Canada sent its largest team of aerobic gymnasts to the event comprised of 13 athletes from Perth Saltos Athletics and five athletes from Hamilton World Class Gymnastic clubs. For many on the team in the FIG World Age Group and Junior Showcase divisions, it was their first taste of international competition; but with their amazing performances, you would never have known! These athletes rose to the occasion and handled every moment of the international competition with ease. Approximately 15 countries were represented at the championships, with most age divisions having 35+ competitors. The Canadian delegation was extremely pleased with the overall results and are hoping that these talented athletes can keep pushing towards bigger and better results representing Canada and promoting and improving aerobic gymnastics as a sport in Canada.

Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association secretary retires Business - Mary Joynt of Smiths Falls has retired as secretary-treasurer of the Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association (OVSGA), sponsors of the Ottawa Valley Farm Show. Joynt performed the duties for 27 years, beginning when the spring farm show (OVFS), a smaller event than it is today, was held at Lansdowne Park. She was a key component as the show expanded to occupy every bit of indoor space at Lansdowne and when it relocated three years ago to the EY Centre beside Ottawa International Airport… a massive undertaking.

Joynt’s contribution to the success of the OVFS was officially recognized during the association’s recent annual meeting held at Winchester. She had considered leaving the position for more than a year. She joined her husband John in being confirmed as an honourary director of the association. She was presented with flowers, earrings and a travel voucher. OVSGA president John Roosendaal cited her dedication to the job over many years. As Joynt’s replacement, a hiring committee chose Arlene Ross of Russell who’s well known in eastern Ontario agricultural circles for

her involvement in 4-H, the Soil and Crop Improvement Association and the Environmental Farm Plan. General manager Tom Van Dusen was re-appointed for another year. In charge among many other things, of keeping meeting minutes and association financial records, Joynt said there was no single reason that precipitated her decision other than “it was time”. Along with the GM, Joynt booked and billed 350 exhibitors and was the familiar face behind the counter during farm show check-in every March. “Mary joked that I probably

wanted to work with somebody younger,” Van Dusen said. “Not true at all. Nothing beats experience and Mary and I have been a smoothly operating team for years.” The departing secretary-treasurer will help train her replacement, adding she doesn’t plan to completely remove herself from the organization. She’ll volunteer to help out at the 2015 farm show. “The Seed Growers and the show have been part of my life for a very long time.” Submitted by the Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association.

Classic Theatre Festival’s fifth season draws to a close this weekend Arts – As the Classic Theatre Festival’s fifth anniversary season draws to a close this weekend with the final performances of the hugely popular murder mystery, Dial M for Murder (which runs until Aug. 31), audiences and cast members alike have had a great opportunity to explore another side of human nature. Indeed, in a story about a man who plots to murder his wife and inherit her riches, bringing out the human side of the plotter can pose a challenge. It’s certainly something that veteran Toronto performer Greg Campbell relishes in the lead role of fading tennis star Tony Wendice, who has gone from the heights of applause at Wimbleton to be a lowly sports equipment salesman. “Tony is someone who as a tennis star has acquired high-end tastes and he is looking for a wife in that milieu, and so he finds Margot, who is attracted to his stardom,” Campbell explains. “He is hard-nosed, knows what he wants and how to get it. But one of his fatal flaws is that he lacks human compassion. He is very out for himself.” While Tony does not sound like the most desirable of roles at first glance, Campbell enjoys the opportunity to play someone who is essentially an evildoer. “I often play the guy next door, the nice guy, and Tony does too in his normal conversations and interactions with other people, but underneath he has all these machinations going on, so he’s really putting all that nice stuff on as a façade. For me the fun is being the snake underneath, the guy who is planning all the time. There’s a contrast between the nice guy and genuine husband and, as soon as he hangs up the phone, you see the real evil guy underneath.”

Tension is in the air when American Max Halliday (Scott Clarkson, discovering his suit is too short) runs into tennis star Tony Wendice (Greg Campbell) and Margot (Jennifer Vallance) in the Classic Theatre Margot is taken on by Ottawa actor Jennifer Vallance, who must play at multiple levels as well, from the doting wife who pastes her husband’s press clippings into a photo album to a woman disappointed in marriage who has had an affair with an American mystery writer, played by Scott Clarkson. “I’m in an awkward predicament at the start of the play of introducing the two men in my life,” she says. “Margot loves Tony for his bedazzling character

Festival production of Dial M for Murder, which runs until Aug. 31 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth. For tickets, call 1-877-2873-1283 or visit www.classictheatre.ca.

which is always on display publicly, and they got married quickly, but she also feels that a life with mystery writer Max Halliday would have her loved and cherished. She stays in her marriage to Tony because that’s what people did in the 1950s. She’s doing what her daddy would have told her to do.” Clarkson finds that his character has a “real moral core,” which is why he tries to respect Margot’s decision to try and make the marriage work. “But

it’s a real conflict fighting off his strong feelings to be with someone he really loves but also to do the right thing. But he doesn’t know the true nature of her husband.” Such conflicting emotions set up the dramatic tension at the heart of the play. Tony’s attempt to blackmail Captain Lesgate (played by Ottawa’s Richard Gélinas) adds another level of intrigue, all of which must be sorted out by Inspector Hubbard, played by Clyde

Whitham. It’s a role that follows a long line of British detectives that includes the likes of Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick Watson. Whitham believes Dial M for Murder has true staying power because “It’s a sense of justice. People like to see wrongs being righted and no one wants to see bad guys getting away with stuff. Especially the ones who think they are so clever at first but they always slip up.” Campbell agrees, noting, “Tony thought he had concocted the perfect crime, and for a while everything is going well for him, but when something goes wrong the fun for the audience is figuring out when this guy will get caught, and how. The suspense of watching this take place and realizing this guy actually might get away with it really leaves people on the edge of their seats.” Tickets to the final performances of Dial M for Murder are still available for the show, which runs Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. matinees Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Ticketholders are invited as well to the final Saturday Night Special murder mystery authors reading series, featuring Brenda Chapman and Thomas Curran (starting at 7 p.m. on Aug. 30 at the festival’s new venue at 54 Beckwith Street East (at Harvey). The festival’s youth theatre training project, the Perth through the Ages theatrical historic walking tour, always finishes up Aug. 31 with a final week of performances running Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. Tickets to all festival events are available at 1-877-283-1283 or www. classictheatre.ca.

Reader discovers good things come to those who wait Lifestyle – Some months ago (March to be specific), I ran a letter from a 2010 Mazda 5 owner who was plagued by frequent battery failures. In his original letter he stated he had contacted Mazda Canada’s customer service line but didn’t feel he got the treatment he deserved. Well, someone was reading and shortly after the column ran I got this reply from Mazda Canada: “Dear Mr. Turner, I have just read your article “Running low on current” which is attached to the bottom of this email. I appreciate how you explained both the battery, its operation and maintenance. What disappointed me in the article was that the owner of this 2010 Mazda5 felt that Mazda Canada’s Customer Relations have not been helpful. Being responsible for customer relations here at Mazda Canada I very much want to reach out to this Mazda owner as it is our desire and goal to be helpful to not only Mazda owners but to all individuals who contact us. I am wondering if you would be so kind as to link me up with this reader. I recognize and respect personal privacy so I would be more than happy if you would forward this email to this individual and they can then feel free to contact me at my email address as listed below. Thank you in advance for your as-

sistance. Have a great day.” Kind regards, Steve Weiler Manager, Customer Relations Mazda Canada Inc. I contacted the original letter writer and asked him if I could pass his contact information along to Steve at Mazda Canada. He agreed. Just this past week, I received this follow-up: “Hello Brian, Yes, it is five months later and Mazda Canada did make a good effort to get to the root of the problem. Steve Weiler arranged for Steve Romano, field technical manager, to conduct a full electrical system test of my car (starting, charging and battery systems) at no charge to me and results were all within spec. “ Thanks for your help on this matter.

Summer always brings trailer towing questions and this season was no different than most. One of the confusing items for vehicle owners is the different classes of trailer hitches and why most automakers don’t refer to them in accessory catalogues or listings. First, a primer on hitch ratings: Class I hitches can usually handle trailers up to 2,000 lb, Class II units are good up to 3,500 lb, Class III are often rated up to 5,000 lb, Class IV’s and Class V’s usually involve weight distributing gear and are designed for loads up to and over 10,000 lb respectively. But it’s important to remember that what a vehicle is rated to tow is the first item of concern over what load a specific class of trailer hitch can handle. So it’s not much use putting a Class III hitch on a compact SUV, only rated to tow a 3,000 lb trailer. To find your vehicle’s towing ca-

pacity you can always dust off the owner’s manual or refer to the manufacturer’s website. For whatever reason, I’ve always found that the US versions of most automaker websites are much easier to navigate when looking for this information than their Canadian counterparts (.com versus .ca). Sometimes these sites will provide multiple ratings for the same make and model based on different equipment levels. An authorized dealership should be able to tell you what equipment level your vehicle has based on its serial number or VIN. Once you know what your vehicle is rated to tow, then you can go shopping for the appropriate hitch. The most common style of trailer hitch is the receiver type that has a square steel opening that a trailer ball mount is slid into and secured with a lock pin. These are great to avoid those painful shin strikes as the ball mount can be removed leaving a hitch that doesn’t protrude past the bumper line or into your legs when loading or unloading gear. A good tip to remember is that if you don’t remove the ball mount when not towing, you may find it permanently seized in the receiver after a season or two. If you plan on using trailer hitch mounted bike, ski, or cargo racks, make sure you get a hitch with a 2” by 2” receiver as most hitch

Oshawa-built 1956 Pontiac carries carload of memories Lifestyle – Richard Marion of Shawville, Que., purchased a 1956 Pontiac 2-door with a 265 V8 under the hood and automatic transmission in 1958. That car is long gone but when he saw an ad recently in “Old Autos” newspaper for a 1956 Pontiac 2-door hardtop, he couldn’t resist. Now he drives a car almost identical to the one he drove as a teenager. His “new” 1956 Pontiac has a 261 cubic inch six cylinder engine with three-speed manual transmission (“three on the tree” we used to say). It is one of only 1,165 built in Oshawa, Ont. The colour code is 2409: India Ivory and Twilight Turquoise. The trim is 901: Charcoal and Starfrost. “After a number of weeks of negotiation,” recalls Richard, “I finally purchased the car in 2011 and have enjoyed the memory of owning a 1956 Pontiac again. My current 1956 Pontiac is different in that it does not have a model emblem anywhere on the car. Most 1956 Pontiacs have a Laurentian or Pathfinder nameplate on the fenders or trunk lid. General Motors of Canada listed this car as Model 2037, 2-door hardtop. “A gentleman from Perth, Ontario, saw my car on the front cover of the March 18/13 ‘Old Autos’ and called to say he has a 1956 Pontiac 2-door hardtop but his Pontiac has the crests on the body. My 1956 Pontiac seems to be rare in the fact that it has a six

cylinder with standard shift instead of a V8 with automatic, and that it does not have any model nameplates on it. I have looked for other 1956 Pontiacs at car shows and in car magazines that are the same as mine and I have found none to date.” A previous owner, Mr. T. McDermott of Bridgenorth, Ont., wrote to the Vintage Vehicle Services at GM in Oshawa in 1995 and was informed that his car is a 1956 Pontiac Pathfinder Deluxe and, like other Canadianbuilt Pontiacs, his car was built on a Chevrolet chassis. Richard’s 1956 Pontiac Pathfinder was built in Oshawa on April 18, 1956 and shipped to an unknown dealer the same day. With this story now published, we might hear from the person who bought it new. Stay tuned. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest Submitted photo book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to This photo shows the 1956 Pontiac 2-door hardtop owned by Richard Marion, Shawville, Que.

Frank Miller’s sinful sequel can’t live up to original can take you to the wrong place. Man I love these films. Like the first film, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For takes us into the underbelly of Basin City by telling a number of stories through the eyes of some of its most hard boiled citizens. It starts with Marv (Mickey Rourke) surrounded by death and mayhem, and unable to remember how he got there. Then there’s Johnny (Joseph GordonLevitt) a gambler who’s come to Sin City to play a high stakes game against the city’s most powerful and most corrupt citizen,

Senator Roark (Powers Boothe). Dwight (Josh Brolin) is working as a private investigator when an old flame, Ava (Eva Green), asks for his help. She’s afraid her husband, and his inhuman bodyguard Manute (Dennis Haysbert) are going to kill her. But Ava is bad news and Dwight knows it. She twists him all up, and then sets him loose, and even Gail (Rosario Dawson) might not be able to help him. Finally we come to Nancy (Jessica Alba). It’s been four years since Hartigan’s (Bruce Willis)

My Take mark haskins

death, and Nancy has been on a downward spiral ever since. She’s on the verge of madness as she plots her revenge on Senator Roark. All the while Hartigan’s (Bruce Willis) ghost watches helplessly. The first Sin City was, and remains, a masterpiece in my opinion. A Dame to Kill For falls a little short

of that. It jumps around in time as well as from character to character. Some of it happens before the original film, and some of it happens after, and the end result feels disjointed. It just doesn’t have that same smooth flow from scene to scene that the original has. All that aside, it was still a visually stunning film that

takes your right back to that town of decadence and decay. It’s dark and gritty. It’s sexy and violent. It’s a work of art, and while it might not be quite as good as the first it’s still really good. Good film noir needs the right cast of sexy villains, dark heroes and damsels in distress. From Mickey Rourke’s psychopath with a heart of gold, to Jessica Alba’s stripper with a score to settle, to Josh Brolin’s hard-

nosed heroics, to Eva Green’s twisted evil, to Rosario Dawson’s dangerous sex appeal, to Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s cocky determination, to Powers Boothe’s total corruption, this cast has it all. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For may have its flaws, but I still enjoyed walking its streets, and seeing its citizens live out their lives in surreal black and white.

Community – The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) is excited to announce that more than 304,000 trees were planted this spring. RVCA and its many partners are well on the way to planting five million trees by 2015! RVCA offers private landowner tree planting programs that help landowners get the technical advice, planting plan and any available incentive funding for reforesting projects. In cases where landowners plant more than 2,000 trees, RVCA works with the province’s 50 Million Tree Program to keep costs as low as $0.15 per tree. “We have numerous communityminded partners who support our tree planting program and reduce landowner costs,” says Scott Danford, RVCA forestry program manager. “Simply, we need enthusiastic stewards to partner

and plant with throughout the Rideau watershed.” Landowners with at least one acre of land who are willing to plant 500 or more trees are encouraged to contact the RVCA at 613-692-3571 or 1-800-2673504 to book a site visit or get more information. Trees improve our land and air by acting as miniature environmental cleaning stations. Rootlets help hold the soil in place to protect against erosion and improve water retention. Leaves absorb CO2 and release oxygen helping to reduce the effects of climate change. In one year, an acre of trees absorbs as much carbon as is produced by a car driven 14,000 kilometres. They also act like natural air conditioners; the evaporation from one tree has the same cooling effects as 10 room-size air conditioners working 20 hours a day.

Tree planting is one the most practical ways to take care of our watershed and the wider environment. Trees improve local biodiversity by providing shelter for birds and wildlife, while at the same time providing us with windbreaks, screening and shade. Forests act as a major filter and cleansing system for water that soaks into the ground and feeds our wells and underground water systems. The newly planted trees take a little tender loving care in their early years, but once they are “free-growing”, they provide all of these advantages for up to 80 years or more. Trees are vital for a healthy and sustainable future; start planning now for planting next spring. Interested landowners should call now to plan to prepare for next year’s planting.
