'He was like a brother to me': MPP mourns loss of Gord Brown ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com

Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP Gord Brown, left, died of a heart attack May 2 in his Parliament Hill office. He is seen with provincial counterpart, MPP Steve Clark at the 2017 Merrickville Heritage Classic run.

On May 2, it was LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark who announced in the Ontario Legislature that longtime MP Gord Brown had died earlier that morning. Voice shaking, he asked Speaker of the House, Dave Levac, for a moment of silence in honour of his friend, who suffered a

heart attack in his Parliament Hill office. Days later, Clark is still processing the loss of the Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP. "We've known each other since we were kids," he said during a phone interview with this newspaper May 4. "I've said many times in the last couple of days that Gord was like a brother to me.

Clark said no one worked harder on his constituents' behalf than Brown. "He had such a passion for public service. His legacy will be the amount of people he's touched," he remarked. "He was so very proud of where he came from. It's been a tough couple of days without my friend." "We were the same age, a couple months apart," added Clark, who was elected MPP in 2010. "...He was a tremendous mentor for me when I was first elected and he was a person who represented this riding very well." On the morning of May 2, Clark had stepped out of Question Period in the legislature when he heard reports that something had happened to Brown. He went to his office and called Brown's House of Commons office where he was told the news. "I was just in a state of shock...I was in my office for quite a while. It's been very emotional," he said. "Once the national caucus l See BROWN’S, page 5

Stittsville. Most students work a full four months prior to returning to their ongoing studies. "We strive to provide meaningful and valuable work experience that will help our youth with future employment," said Casgrain-Robertson noting that the experience is also rewarding for staff who help mentor and work closely with the students throughout their work experience.

The pair would touch base with each other every few days and Clark said he spoke with Brown and his wife, Claudine, the evening before his death. They discussed upcoming public engagements and the upcoming provincial election. "We've always been a big part of each others' elections," he stated. As a small business owner himself, Brown was a staunch supporter of economic development in his riding and championed for the revitalization of the Eastern Ontario Develop-

ment Program (EODP), which lends valuable support to businesses. "There's no question, the EODP was really Gord's baby. He was the loudest advocate and spokesperson, I think because of his years in business," Clark stated. "...It's hard to find a community that hasn't been improved by Gord's hard work," he added, noting another feather in Brown's cap was the private member's bill seeking more compassionate care benefits he spearheaded after election in 2004. "He was able to deal with all the politics of getting a bill through and that's a legacy that will help all Canadians," Clark noted. He also introduced Bill C-370, passed in 2013, to rename the St. Lawrence Islands National Park of Canada to Thousand Islands

National Park of Canada. His presentation to the electoral boundaries commission also paved the way for the riding's name change to Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes to Leeds-Grenville. "He felt they were two very iconic areas that should be reflected in the riding," Clark said. He plans to honour his friend by continuing to talk about him. "I know he would want me to soldier on and continue his good work," Clark commented. "This is a big loss for me, personally, and from people that I've talked to in the last few days, it's really starting to set in that we had a tremendous advocate for eastern Ontario in Gord Brown and his legacy is a big one," he added.

at the Grenville & Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporations, had a particularly special relationship with Gord as he tirelessly championed our cause at every possible opportunity. Often this included advocating at the very top of the system where he would meet with the Prime Minister of Canada along with multiple Cabinet Ministers to insist that funding be increased in order to support causes that were critically important to our region. His determination regularly bore significant fruit as hundreds of millions of dollars in new government support found its way to our doorstep and made dozens of job creation initiatives possible." Russell said there is a long list which was impossible to summarize. "Virtually every major federal capital investment made in our area over the past decade was the direct result of MP Brown's work," he wrote. "His impact is immeasurable and it is unparalleled with significant contributions being made to the 1000 Islands Boat Museum, Port of Johnstown, Fort Wellington, Rideau Canal Locks, Aquatarium, Brockville Tunnel Restoration, Thousand Islands Playhouse, Skywood, Rockport Customs House Restoration, St. Lawrence College, Kemptville College, Brockville Airport, Mallory Coach

House, Greenfield Ethanol, Giant Tiger, Canarm, Burnbrae Farms, Newterra, Northern Cables, 3M, Thompson Manufacturing and the list goes on and on and on." Russell said it was "absolutely staggering to comprehend the magnitude of his impact but if you live, work or play in the LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes area then you clearly owe Mr. Brown a tremendous debt of gratitude because, if not for him, our area would look decidedly different than it does today." Russell said his personal connection to Brown was "very deep and incredibly dear to me. We grew from colleagues to close friends in short order and it wasn't long before my wife and I considered him to be part of our extended family. Our professional relationship gave me credibility that I previously could only have dreamed of and our personal friendship gave me some of the most cherished memories I will carry with me for the rest of my life." Those special memories include countless spirited hockey games to regular meals with their spouses, a multitude of engaging community ceremonies, and many meetings with influential dignitaries, "and from never ending laughter to the current unimaginable grief. It has been one of my life's greatest treasures to have had the privilege and the ho-

nour to call Gord Brown my very close friend." A member of many inter-parliamentary groups in Ottawa, Brown was noted for his efforts on behalf of Canadian interests in Washington and around the world. Prior to being elected MP, Brown was chair of the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, president of the Gananoque and District Chamber of Commerce and twice served as a councillor in the Town of Gananoque. For Bonnie Ruddock, executive director of the Great Waterway, South Eastern Ontario, who hails from Gananoque, she spent 10 years at the 1000 Islands Gananoque Chamber of Commerce. She worked with Brown, sharing a passion for tourism. "I was in complete shock when I heard the news of Gord's passing," she wrote in an email exchange. "I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the Brown family. Gord was a true advocate for tourism, for both the Town of Gananoque and the surrounding area. Gord will be missed by the many people who were fortunate enough to have known him." Brown was also known for his contributions to many community committees and organizations. An avid hockey player and Toronto Maple Leafs fan, Brown was a Canadian champion paddler with the Gananoque Canoe Club.

There is also one at MPP Steve Clark's Brockville office located at 100 Strowger Blvd. Christensen spoke of Brown's love for his hometown, his family and his friends. But it was through TIAP, and a faith Brown and the other men had in her that she said she is most grateful for. Christensen said she will miss his guidance and his friendship most of all. "We could count on him ... You could read stuff online for three hours or you could just call Gord and he could tell you the hockey stats and how to get (stuff) done. He was amazing at juggling all the balls. He represented not just Gana-

noque, but everybody. He's our home boy." Visitation took place at Tompkins Funeral Home in Gananoque on Wednesday, May 9 and the funeral service takes place at the Lou Jeffries Recreation Center in Gananoque at 11 a.m., Thursday, May 10 followed by a graveside service at Gananoque Cemetery. A reception will be held at The Firehall Theatre from 2 to 4 p.m. following the service. Brown's vision for Gananoque included a second ice pad to be located near the current recreation center. To that end, TIAP has contributed $100,000 to the initiative.

ABOUT US

Leader wants more than empty promises Reconciliation is on the minds of the nation. We feel the sting of collective guilt, finally beginning to glean the truth of Canada's systemic racism and shameful treatment of First Nations people. As we read and listen to the evidence of the continuing inequity, it is easy for us to view Indigenous Canadians as living in a perpetual state of victimhood. But when you talk with Regional Chief of Ontario Isadore Day, it's clear this strong, intelligent leader is anything but that. He's a man hell bent on leading his people to equity and justice. And a big part of that is economic reconciliation. The chief spoke to a roomful of Torstar community editors recently, as we seek to be better informed on Indigenous issues and bring that perspective to our readers. "We are First Nation People, treated as second Class Citizens, living in Third World conditions," he said. He then appeared at Canada 2020's Indigenous Economic Symposium where the discussion centred on the concept that for Indigenous people to prosper, the way forward must be grounded in the recognition of legal rights and economic reconciliation. Also at the forum was Minister of Indigenous Services Jane Philpott who said, "The goal of economic reconciliation in Canada is to ensure that a First Nations, Inuit or Metis child will grow up in a country that will provide the opportunities, the investment, the systemic capacity to breathe life into their dreams." After the symposium Day tweeted, "It's clear that 20/20 vision is a struggle for a federal government that continues to have this notion that First Nation Rights could be legislated and that the 2% cap / 30B$ debt is forgotten!!" In 1996 the Canadian government put a two per cent cap on social transfers to First Nation's communities, regardless of need, population growth or inflation. For Day this translates into $30 billion owed from the federal government. Prime Minister Trudeau pledged to remove the cap as soon as he got into office. Another promise broken, only half delivered. Day isn't remotely satisfied with the government's plan to make restitution by providing programs and services over future years. "What if another government comes in, and those investments are reproduced, removed, or altered?" he asked. The country is talking, and people in power are listening to leaders like Chief Day. But talking isn't enough; the Canadian government needs to deliver on many levels to make economic reconciliation more than just another promise.

Because he died of a communicable disease Polk himself was originally buried in a cemetery outside the city due to public health regulations. Later that edict was lifted and his remains were moved to Polk Place. Because Polk's will specified that he be buried beside his Nashville home, which

no longer exists, the idea of moving the couple's remains to the Polk museum in Columbia has gained traction. My interest in this subject relates to the three visits my wife and I have made to the Polk tomb over the years. Our most recent stop at the site was in late February. I have taken photos of the tomb and strictly as an observer I can't see anything wrong with the graves remaining where they are. True, the Polk's are the only people buried on Capitol

Hill. But to me the grave site adds something very interesting to the Capitol grounds. After all it's not every day people have an opportunity to visit the graves of a former American president and his wife! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

On a quiet knoll just below the Tennessee State Capitol building in downtown Nashville is the final resting place of James Knox Polk, the 11th president of the United States, and his wife Sarah Childress Polk. Or is it their final resting place? In something of an oddity the body of Polk, who died of cholera in 1849 just three months after leaving the White House, has already been moved three times. Now a much-debated resolution urging that the president's remains, along with those of his wife, be relocated again has been resurrected in the state legislature. Following a debate in March legislators turned down the idea of having the tomb opened and the couple's remains moved to the Polk ancestral home and presidential museum in Columbia, Tennessee 50 miles (80 km) south of Nashville. However in April the matter was again raised in the State's House of Representatives. This time a new motion passed by a narrow margin. The idea still has several major hurdles to clear however. According to what I have read the plan needs the approval of the state governor, the Tennessee Historical Commission, the State Capitol Commission and the courts. Governor William Haslam has previously stated his opposition to the idea. According to the Nashville Tennessean newspaper the state historical commission is also firmly opposed. And although the Polk's never had children there are surviving family members, some of whom have gone public with their opposition. One relative calls the idea "macabre." The Polk's are hardly the first famous people to suffer

The plan related to Polk, which has been debated recently, spins from the fact the late president's Nashville home 'Polk Place', where he wanted to be buried (and was for many years) was eventually sold and demolished. Sarah Polk outlived her husband by 42 years. Upon her death in 1891

What car

colours may say about drivers

Cars and trucks may be modes of transportation, but many people see their vehicles as extensions of their personalities The colour of a vehicle can say a lot about its driver. In fact, automotive experts say colour affects drivers’ decisions when they’re buying new vehicles. In 2015, a survey from PPG Automotive Coatings found the colour palette of black, silver, grey, and white makes up 75 percent of new cars on the road. White has been the most popular car colour for years, perhaps because neutral tones tend to look new for years, improving resale value as a result.

Blue Light blue to mid-blue cars convey a sense of calm and coolness. Blue is a dependable colour and may indicate the person behind the wheel is friendly. Dark blue can be a confidence-booster and also signal authority, as many police cruisers and law enforcement uniforms The Pantone colour Institute periodically highlights popular trends in colours for home feature deep blue. decorating, graphic design, fashion, and much more.

After years of slow progress, Honda has renewed its lineup and now offers products with more potential than ever. The Civic, which has been the champion of Canadian car sales for almost 20 years, is now available in more versions than ever. Namely, the Civic Type R is now offered in Canada for the first time, featuring a balanced drive and producing 306 horsepower. A hybrid or hybrid electric Civic is also expected to launch in 2018.

Honda is maintaining the status quo this year on the SUV front. The Odyssey, Pilot and Ridgeline have all been upgraded in recent years, and no changes are in store for the CR-V or HR-V in 2019. Honda has also hinted that a crossover smaller than the Pilot but bigger than the CR-V could eventually be launched to compete with the Ford Explorer, but no substantiating evidence has surfaced as of yet. Finally, the idea of a new compact two-seat sports car has been floating around since the S2000 was retired, but nothing concrete on that front has been reported yet either.

FEELING

Your vehicle has a recall…

now what?

Vehicles are expensive. When motorists drive their vehicles away from a dealership, they hope to travel many miles before they need to come back for maintenance. But manufacturers sometimes issue recalls that can affect drivers of both new and old vehicles.

No payment should be necessary

The cost of repairing the recalled part should not fall on your shoulders. Such repairs are paid by the manufacturer. The financial resource Bankrate.com notes that, “if you had the repair made before the recall was issued (up to a full year), the automaker is legally obligated to reimburse you, as long as you had the work done at one of its franchised dealers.” Save all receipts for the work. If work was done by a private mechanic, drivers still may be eligible for reimbursement.

Recalls are safety precautions taken should a portion of a vehicle or the entire car or truck not operate in the manner it was intended. In many instances, auto manufacturers will directly contact customers who are affected by a recall via a letter, email or both. Request a loaner vehicle According to AutoTrader, recalls are In some instances, recalls may take a few becoming more common because of the days to fix. Although not every dealership complexity of modern vehicles. Drivers can may make loaner vehicles available, it’s still follow these important steps if they learn of worth requesting one so you are not inconvenienced. a recall.

Don’t panic, but don’t ignore recalls

The experts at Kelley Blue Book say recalls often occur due to a problem in the manufacturing process in similar models, and this issue may surface in other vehicles. Recalls do not guarantee vehicles will malfunction or break down. However, consumers are urged to take recalls seriously, adopting a “better safe than sorry” approach when recalls are announced.

Ford reorganizes its offerings Ford will offer a wide range of new models over the course of the next three years. From electric cars to SUVs, not to mention the return of the Ranger in 2019 and the Bronco in 2020, there’s something for everyone in the works. The car segment will also undergo some noteworthy changes.

| Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF | Thursday, May 10, 2018

Showcasing the Best in Automotive Sales and Services throughout the Region!

With this year’s North American release of the EcoSport subcompact SUV, the Fiesta may very well be on its last legs. Production of the Focus will move to China this year to allow Ford to refit its Wayne, Michigan, plant in preparation for the upcoming Ranger and Bronco. As for the ever-popular Mustang, it’s undergone a few stylistic upgrades for 2018, and Ford has announced a hybrid version as well as a more powerful V8 for 2020. The Fusion will remain the same until 2020. 2018 Ford EcoSport

On the SUV front, Ford has promised to release five new models onto the market before the end of the decade. After the EcoSport, Ford has another model in store that’s halfway between the latter and the Escape. It’s slated for a 2019 launch and will likely replace the C-Max.

2019 Ford Ranger

No noteworthy changes are expected for the Escape, Edge or Explorer in the next few years. The Flex, which is currently built in Canada, will be retired in 2020. The Expedition had a recent makeover, and a hybrid version of the F-150 is in the works for 2020. Looking ahead, Ford is working on its Model E (a name which, incidentally, Tesla tried and failed to get its hands on to use for its Model 3), an electric sedan that’s aiming to compete with Tesla by offering 2020 Ford Bronco an impressive 500-kilometre range.

Maintain a clean vehicle

Car washes do more than just clean a vehicle. Routine washing and waxing can remove dirt that, if left on a vehicle, can gradually scratch paint and contribute to chips and rust. Over time, rust can affect vehicle performance and may even compromise the safety of drivers and their passengers if bad enough frame rust affects structural integrity. Routine washing also can remove road salt from vehicles. Salt can build up during winter when roads are routinely treated during and after snowstorms. Road salt can be extremely corrosive and, if left unremoved from a vehicle, can contribute to rust that ultimately can cause extensive damage to a vehicle.

Adhere to maintenance guidelines

Drivers may have heard that today’s vehicles were built to go longer periods of time between oil changes and tuneups than the vehicles of yesteryear. But drivers should still adhere to manufacturer-recommended maintenance guidelines. Upon buying new vehicles, drivers should read their owners’ manuals to determine recommended maintenance intervals, and stick to those intervals for as long as they have their vehicles. Cognizant of the sizeable investments they’re making when buying new vehicles, many drivers want to get as many miles out of their vehicles as possible. Simple maintenance and safe driving habits can go a long way toward keeping vehicles on the road for years to come.

How drivers can make

road trip season more eco-friendly

Many drivers anxiously await the arrival of spring, when they can rev their engines and enjoy the burgeoning greenscapes synonymous with the season. Many drivers enjoy the first few warm days of spring when they get a chance to hit the open road with their windows down for the first time in months. Driving is not always the most eco-friendly activity. However, there are various ways to enjoy spring road trips without compromising the environment. Driving is not always the most eco-friendly activity. However, there are various ways to enjoy spring road trips without compromising the environment. Do not idle your vehicle. When engines are running but cars are not moving, this is referred to as “idling.” It’s hard to blame drivers for idling their vehicles in winter, when many motorists try to warm up their engines and their vehicles’ interiors so their morning commutes are as comfortable as possible. Idling cars might not be moving, but they are still burning fuel, meaning drivers who routinely idle their vehicles are adversely affecting fuel efficiency. It’s also important to note that idling is no longer necessary in modern vehicles. That’s because the electronic fuel injection systems in today’s cars require just a few seconds to get full oil pressure throughout the engine. Take it easy on the road. Road trips tend to be more enjoyable and are certainly safer when drivers take their time and don’t rush to their destination. And driving slowly happens to be more eco-friendly as well. According to the online automotive resource Edmunds. com, gently gaining speed is much more fuel-efficient than accelerating quickly. Always obey speed limits and avoid quickly accelerating when stoplights turn green. Empty the trunk. During winter, many drivers understandably carry some extra items in their trunk to account for inclement weather. Keeping ice scrapers, extra coolant or even a snow shovel in the trunk might make sense for drivers who live in regions that routinely encounter heavy snowfall. When spring arrives, drivers should remove any unnecessary items from their trunks. Such items will increase the weight of the vehicle, thereby reducing its fuel efficiency. Athletes and outdoors enthusiasts should also remove golf bags and sporting equipment from their trunks when taking trips where such items won’t be needed.

Motorists can employ several simple strategies to make spring road trip season more eco-friendly.

Don’t top off at the gas pump. Many drivers, especially those on road trips who want to avoid extra tops at the filling station, top off their gas tanks when nozzles shut off automatically. Such a practice is harmful to the planet and may not be doing your vehicle any favours, either. Without that extra room, the gas may evaporate into the vehicle’s vapour collection system, adversely affecting emissions and potentially damaging the vehicle.

LAWS is still in fundraising mode for the renovation of our cat area at the shelter. We have had to delay the start of the work until early September 2018. With "kitten season" upon us, the delay is necessary to ensure that we can accommodate the moms and kittens and to ensure that staff and volunteers are able to look after everyone. If there are any individuals or families that may be able to provide a temporary (two to threemonth) foster home in the fall, for a cat or two, please email shelter@lanarkanimals.ca. We will be able to take them back just in time for any snowbirds to take flight.

Kasey and Kora Hi, we're one-year-old Kasey, a very handsome male, and Kora, a beautiful female who look so much alike we could be twins. When you meet us you will want to take both of us home because it will be too hard to pick be-

tween us! Although we were both very shy when we first arrived at the shelter last summer, we are coming out of our shells. We can't help but feel how much better we can do in a loving forever home with that purrfect (get it?) patient someone who is willing to give us time to adjust. Although we happily cuddle together in a pet bed and would love to be able to stay together, we each have a lot to give that lucky person. Either way, we are gems in the waiting and because we've waited a while now our adoption fee has been reduced. Please come and meet us at LAWS and be sure to bring your cat carrier so you don't go home empty-handed! Olsen Please meet Olsen a two-yearold Harlequin tabby boy. Olsen is long and slender and loves to hug your legs when you walk by. It's his playful way of saying 'hello, how are you.' He came in as a stray cat and likes being around other cats. However, Olsen would love to be invited into a loving home. Please meet him at LAWS. Marigold After raising five kittens, Marigold is now ready for a home of her own. Her beautiful tabby markings with rust torti undertones compliment her lovely copper eyes. She likes to come greet you at the door and

seek out cosy places for a good nap. Marigold's kittens have been adopted and she's awaiting your call to meet her in Perth where she's still enjoying the care of her foster mom. Should you be interested in meeting Marigold, who is about two-years-old, then please leave us a Facebook message or call the shelter at 613-283-9308 and we'll set up the appointment for you. Oliver Please meet six-year-old Oliver who's owner is not well and had to make the difficult decision to surrender this handsome boy. He is really friendly and would fit well in any household. Oliver could shed a few pounds but for now there is just more of him to love. Oliver can be adopted from LAWS.

Festival of Small Halls expanding to welcome new rural venues for 2018 With more than 40 performances over two weeks in September, the Ontario Festival of Small Halls is promising to get toes tapping across the province this fall - in even more cherished spaces. The festival that melds big names in music with rural communities is expanding its scope again and bringing internationally-renowned musicians to special halls this fall. The celebration of exceptional live music is taking place from Sept. 13 to 30 in intimate settings that provide authentic rural Ontario experiences. Now in its fifth year, the festival continues to highlight many towns and villages throughout the region, as well as the warmth and hos-

pitality of the communities that fill them. The new host halls this year stretch from Combermere to Matawatchan and from Harrowsmith to Snow Road. While some venues are familiar hosts from last year, such as Elgin's Red Brick School, others are new to the festival line up, like Sydenham's Grace Hall, as well as the Rankin Cultural and Recreation Centre. Kelly Symes, general manager of the Ontario Festival of Small Halls, said the festival allows music fans to experience a memorable evening of live music in beloved places. "These spaces play a vital role in bringing people together," she said, recognizing that some halls have

Reminisce the songs of the sixties May 18-19 It's one thing to play the "oldies." It's another thing to play with the "oldies." Jeff Scott does (and has done) both. He mentioned, in a brief interview before bringing Buddy and the Ray Vons to the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls May 18 and 19, that he'd played 'Duke of Earl' alongside Gene Chandler (who's now 80). Scott talked further about his other favourite "oldies" music, and then, in a pre-show teaser, he promised to play, as an encore when he's here, the Monkees' Last Train to Clarksville as a salute to the Station Theatre. Scott was here last year for Glad All Over; he's coming

back with Happy Together featuring the songs of the sixties and the summer of love. He admits the Beatles are his favourite but he loves all the old songs. The Newmarket, Ont. boy studied piano initially but then bought his own guitar and all through high school had a band called the Silent Echo. His present day band there are seven in the collective - will be playing late '60s music, and this year they are welcoming Adrienne Marcucci to the group to add her vocals to The Mamas & the Papas and Cher songs when they hit the stage. They'll be celebrating 50 years of flower pow-

er with the songs of the sixties - the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Monkees, Simon and Garfunkel, the Turtles and more. He and his band love The Station Theatre. "It's a great facility with a terrific crew." Not only that, he adds, "the audience is responsive." So come out for an evening of great music, familiar old songs and even some dancing in the aisles. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. show are on sale for $25 at Special Greetings in Smiths Falls, 8 Russell St. E, 613-283-2244. Or get them online at www.jeffscott.com. Submitted by the Station Theatre

OPINION

MARY COOK Column

With winter long gone, and the warm weather of spring upon us, everything changed on the farm. It was time for Father to tend to the crops, and that meant nothing was the same as it had been over the winter. Now the days for Father and the brothers started earlier. Mother would have set the breakfast table before going to bed, and the sounds of morning started just as daybreak began. I would huddle down under the covers listening to Father starting the stove, and Mother hurrying to get breakfast on the table so that Father and the boys

could get out to the barn to do the morning chores. It was time to work the fields. When the weather allowed it, Father would be gone before we left for school ... gone with the team and whatever farm equipment he needed to take to the back fields. Like every neighbour in Northcote, our farm was long and narrow, and on the old map my sister Audrey showed me, each farm looked like someone had laid down long pieces of ribbon from the Northcote Side Road, right across the Bonnechere River with each farm being one of the strips. Father often said if the

farm was shorter and wider, he wouldn't have to do so much walking to get from one end of our property to the other. Now it was time to get onto the land and Father's day started as the sun was coming up. He would be gone all day, with Mother packing him a lunch so that he wouldn't have to make the long trek back for his noon meal. Everything depended on the weather. If it rained, there was no going to the back fields until everything had dried up. And when that happened I would see Father pacing in the barns, checking the sky, and I could see a tenseness in his shoulders, because getting on the land was all he could think about. When we got home from school, the boys knew they would be doing the chores. Father wouldn't be coming back from the far reaches of the farm until he had put in a good day's work. Supper would be late too. I would sit on the back stoop waiting to

see Father, like a dot in the sky, coming from beyond the west hill, walking behind the team. If he hadn't finished the field he was working on, the piece of machinery would be left there until the next day, when once again the long hours of daylight would find him in the farthest part of our farm. I could see a new tiredness in Father when it came time to work the land. Although he never seemed to lose his appetite, after supper his step was slower moving to the rocking chair by the Findlay Oval. If it had been a very hot day, Mother would let the fire go out after our meal, but Father still favoured sitting with his feet up on the oven door, with the Ottawa Farm Journal in his lap. After the kitchen was redded up, and we children and Mother sat around the old pine table, I couldn't take

my eyes off Father. He would start reading, but that time of year, he never seemed to get beyond the first page. I would see his head start to nod, and his pipe, which rarely left his mouth, would fall to his chest, the paper would slide to the floor, and soon, he would be sound asleep. I was always amazed that the loud talk of my three brothers around the kitchen table, couldn't keep Father awake. Even when it was time for us to climb the stairs, I could still hear the soft snores, as his body slouched lower and lower into the old rocker. Mother would go over to him, and gently take his pipe, touch him on his shoulder, and pick up the Ottawa Farm Journal. He would be in his bed off the kitchen before the last of us was ready to go upstairs. Another day would be over for Father. Another day of trying to outsmart the

weather. Another day of back-breaking work in the far-off fields of that long strip of land in Northcote. I ached for him, but I knew our survival depended on those long hours spent down the hill from the barns, over the creek and past the west hill. And in my prayers I asked that he be given the strength to do what had to be done to help us survive the Depression raging all around us. The long winter months so far away, depended on it.

OPINION

Schumer serves up hilarious performance Entire cast works to bring plenty of laughs in 'I Feel Pretty,' Mark Haskins writes

MOVIE: I Feel Pretty STARRING: Amy Schumer, Rory Scovel, Aidy Bryant, Busy Phillips and Michelle Williams. DIRECTOR: Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein. RATING: 14A MARK HASKINS I Feel Pretty is basiColumn cally Cinderella, but instead of talking mice, glass slippers and a magic pumpkin our princess gets a concussion. It works out about the same, and makes slightly more sense. Renee (Amy Schumer) lives at the mercy of her insecurities. She's not happy with the way she looks, her hair, her weight or anything. It's a vicious dialogue that goes on in her head that convinces her she's not good enough, and steals her confidence. Then one day, after making a wish in a water fountain during a lightning storm, Renee goes to a spin class. About 30 seconds in she falls off the bike, and hits her head off the floor. When she comes to she looks at herself, she looks at the mirror, and she can't believe her eyes. Her wish has come true. All she sees is her gorgeous self. Nothing has really changed except Renee's perception, but perception dictates reality. Her best friends Vivian (Aidy Bryant) and Jane (Busy Philips) are confused, but there's no denying Renee's new confidence. She meets Ethan (Rory Scovel), and they start dating. She goes after her dream job of receptionist at high-end makeup company Lily LeClair. Her new boss, Avery LeClair (Michelle Williams) quickly promotes her. It's a crazy ride. It can't last, but while it does it's hilarious. I love this film. I laughed at the painfully awkward moments. I laughed at the toilet humour. I laughed at the physical gags. I laughed at Schumer, Williams and Scovel. I laughed out loud, and I was still laughing an hour after I saw the film. I'm still laughing a little bit as I write this review. The switcheroo isn't new, but having it happen inside the same character's head is a great premise, and I don't think anyone but Amy Schumer could pull it off. It's that most beautiful of cinematic events when the right script ends up with the perfect actor. I love a cast that isn't afraid to go for it. Aidy Bryant and Busy Phillips play the bemused, confused, but still funny best friends. I think Michelle Williams' character might have been the villain, but they avoid the mean girls cliché. Instead she's kind of Cinderella's fairy godmother, and very funny. Rory Scovel is the perfect yin to Schumer's yang. I Feel Pretty isn't just a really funny film. This movie has heart, and at its core it has a great message. Don't let the magazines, TV shows, movies or anything or anyone tell you you're not pretty. – Mark Haskins has been reviewing movies for more than 10 years. His column is a regular feature.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Making unicorns real and improving the Perth ice arena. Those were just two of the ideas put forward by Grade 5 Queen Elizabeth Public School students as they were led on a tour of Perth town hall on Tuesday, April 24. Their tour guide was Coun. Jim Boldt, who said he wanted to "take them (students) through town hall, (and) show them the physical building," as well as "explain how municipal government works, and how it is different from federal and provincial politics," he said. Boldt welcomed the 33 "future politicians" to town hall, and started by asking them when the municipal election was. "June 7?" one student replied. "So, that's the provincial election," he replied gently. (The municipal vote is in October.) "I'm sure you've heard of a lady called Kathleen Wynne," he added. She and her Liberals will face voters on June 7, and "if she doesn't (win), someone else will" run the province. Joining Boldt on the tour was town clerk Lauren Walton, whom Boldt commended for "keeping guys like me in line." See you in court

Queen Elizabeth School student Rachel Bell couldn't wait to jump right into Mayor John Fenik's chair, and use his gavel, in the Perth town council chambers on April 24, during a tour of town hall. Walton led the students into the provincial offences court, where people can challenge, say, speeding tickets. It's also the room where, come municipal election time, "where people who would like assistance in voting can come," she said. "It's all set up in here."

Westport artist's work displayed on royal wedding coin LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Joel Kimmel's work is well known to the Royal Canadian Mint, but his latest work is the first commemorating a royal wedding. Kimmel, who lives in Westport, was contracted by the Mint to create the $20 silver collector coin (worth $105), celebrating the upcoming royal wedding of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle on May 19. Kimmel said the mint contacted him in January to do the piece. Over the past five years, he's created 25 coins for the mint, so they were familiar with his work. "This was especially exciting for me because it is the Royal Family," he said. "They (the mint) approached, told me what they were looking for. It was a pretty quick process." Normally, there is about a year's turnaround from the time he submits the final drawing to the time when the coin comes out.

"I worked on it for maybe three weeks or so. After that it was in their hands to get to the engravers," he said. This is Kimmel's first royal piece. "It's pretty exciting," he said. "You look at the back of the collector coin, or any circulation coin and you see the Queen is always on there ... she has to approve these. That means she's seen my work, so that's nice." Kimmel said it's always fun to see the reveal of the coin once completed. "I've done some fullypainted pieces and when it comes out on a coin, there is not much of a surprise because it's exactly how I painted it. But for the ones like this that are engraved, it's always amazing to see how my drawing is translated by engravers at the mint to the tiny little piece of art that it is." Kimmel said he includes as much detail as he can, submits the work and then lets the engraver do his or her work.

Submitted/Chantel Bennett

Joel Kimmel, an illustrator from Westport, was asked by the Royal Canadian Mint to create a commemorative coin depicting the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle. The coin was unveiled May 9 in Toronto. "If there is too much detail, they can exclude a few things, but it's incredible how they translate." Normally, the work Kimmel does for the mint is about eight inches square,

and it ends up reproducing at a much smaller scale. Kimmel grew up in Orleans, and attended Sheridan College in Oakville for illustration. He went back to Ottawa, did some work in

New York for about a year and a half, then went to Sudbury. Finally, he ended in Westport five years ago, living in an 1800s home complete with a large studio. "It's perfect for an art stu-

dio," he said of his Westport home where he and his artist wife Chantal Bennett, also an illustrator, spend a lot of time. ESPN, Time Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Men's Health are some of his clients. He's been an illustrator for 12 years, creating portraiture and illustrations for other magazines like Popular Mechanics or Popular Science. "Portraiture is my number 1 thing," he said. "I feel like I have a grasp on that and can do it well and quickly. It's always nice but when I do coins for the mint it breaks up my routine. I have to dive into the history of a war vet, for instance, so it's flexing a different artistic muscle. The coins for the mint are research involved. The art work to include is on a small scale, something that will look good and sell." This latest coin is portraiture of Prince Harry and l See COMMEMORATIVE,

The Final installment dates will be due at the end of July and end of September.

A nominee must be an individual (no couples or groups) who resides in the Town of Perth or the surrounding Townships of Tay Valley or Drummond/North Elmsley. The activity being recognized must be totally and singularly related to achievements within the Town of Perth. No person elected to public office may be nominated, nor may the award be presented posthumously. Nominations must be submitted on an official Nomination Form, which can be downloaded from the Town of Perth website at www.perth.ca, or you can request a copy by email at kfox@perth.ca or by phone at 613-267-3311 Ext. 2279.

THE COST OF FALSE ALARMS: There has been a recent spike in false alarms in Perth, to which our local OPP officers are required to attend. All security alarms must be attended by two officers, which puts added pressure on officers who may be attending to more important, sometimes life threatening, functions. Each call is considered a “Call for Service”, which means, rate payers of Perth pay the bill. The Town will issue two caution notices to the alarm owner within a year; a final notice is issued and will remain in effect until the reliability of the alarm device can be demonstrated. A $200 fee for this and each subsequent false alarm occurrence shall be issued. If you have a false alarm with your system, please have it serviced immediately, so you don’t end up paying a fine. This message is from the Perth Police Services Board.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING: CONCERNING PROPOSED CHANGES TO BUILDING PERMIT FEES TAKE NOTICE that, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of the Ontario Building Code Act and Division C, Section 1.9.1.2 of Ontario Regulation 332/12 of the said Act, that the Municipal Council of the Town of Perth intends to consider a By law to update all building permit fees. A PUBLIC MEETING will be held by the Committee of Whole on Tuesday, June 5th, 2018 at 5:30 pm in the Council Chambers, Perth Town Hall, 80 Gore St. E., Perth Ontario, to consider the update to building permit fees. ANY PERSON may attend the Public Meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed fee changes. If you wish to be notified after a decision regarding the fee change has been made, you must make a written request to the Corporation of the Town of Perth.

Perth ready to ink 4-year recreational cost sharing agreement with townships DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Perth town council has given a conditional green light to a new, four-year recreational cost sharing agreement with neighbouring municipalities. The agreement was passed unanimously at

Perth town council's committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, May 1, but there was some debate among town staff and political leaders about whether it would be better to leave such an agreement to a new council to decide upon. Chief administrative officer John deRosenroll in-

formed council that with the current cost-sharing agreement between Perth and Tay Valley and Drummond/ North Elmsley townships coming to an end this year, there was some thought given to deferring negotiating a new deal until after new councils were sworn in this coming December, following

the October municipal elections. But all of the parties "felt they had the knowledge," to hammer out an agreement, he said, reaching a deal last month. "The user numbers are going up," deRosenroll added. "The town is definitely not getting rich in running these services."

The township councils will be seeking to approve the agreement at their respective councils later this month. The deal goes into effect on New Year's Day 2019, and runs until New Year's Eve 2022. Included in the deal is a "consumer price index plus one per cent increase in cost,

Perth will have a "capital spending envelope of $100,000 per year for all three facilities, with $30,000 per year being repaid back to the Perth capital reserve fund," wrote deRosenroll in his report to council. "Perth has the responsibility to effectively manage these three facilities and to ensure that proper maintenance procedures are in place while being financially prudent in the day-to-day operations of all three (properties)," wrote deRosenroll. Town and township staff also agreed to meet regularly to review operations and capital projects. Broken down, in 2019, here is how much each municipality will pay into the agreement to keep the pool, arena and library, running: • Drummond/North Elmsley: $175,510; • Tay Valley: $195,852; • Perth: $262,380.

(Fenik was out of the office that morning.) Boldt explained that the mayor's office is often used for in camera meetings, where "we all come in here. We close the door. No one else can come into the room," he said, as they are discussing sensitive matters. Council debate The students were then led into the council chambers, where some students very keen on sitting in the mayor's chair, and letting their opinions be known through the live microphones. "Every once in a while, they have a very intense discussion," said Walton,

Looking like a long surpressed opposition in a Third World country that suddenly finds itself taking over the levers of power, students from Queen Elizabeth Public School take over the Perth town council chambers on April 24 during their tour of town hall. about council debates, but she added that there are rules governing what councillors can say, and rules regarding civility and procedure. "The mayor will open the meeting with a gavel," said Walton. "He will bring the council to order." She also explained that

while motions can be passed at a committee of the whole meeting, the final decision always rests at a full council meeting, so, committee of the whole decisions "are not final," she said. Students were given a chance to express themselves at the mayor's mi-

crophone. "How are you going to change this town?" asked one student of the "mayor." Suggestions included placing a trampoline park in town, lowering the minimum wage, higher taxes for those earning more, as well as the aforementioned unicorn breeding program and ice arena renovations. "Council will want to know, where does the money come from to pay for it?" Walton said. Unique features Another unique feature of Perth's town hall is that it is home to the Perth Citizens' Band, the oldest band of its kind in Canada. "There's a room in this building that used to be a jail," said Boldt, but, not only was it very small, it is also being used for storage. Boldt also explained how his job differed from that of big city councillors. While a Toronto or Ottawa city councillor's job is full time, his duties in Perth

are part time, and he devotes two days a week to his duties. Even so, "it takes a fair amount of your time," he said. For those looking to join

Boldt on council, candidates need to sign paperwork at town hall and pony up $100 to register, as well as collect 25 signatures supporting your candidacy.

Commemorative coin unveiled for royal wedding l Continued from page 2

Meghan Markle from a photograph taken at their engagement shoot. "The mint engravers are responsible for engraving the photo and then interpreting the photo, and I created the design around the portrait, which includes three Swarovski crystals, a floral scroll that works its way around the coin. It's very pretty. It's not busy, pretty simple but very elegant. It has some roses mixed in with some maple leaves giving it a Canadian twist." Kimmel also designed the elegant box for the coin, complete with stylized calligraphy and more maple leaves, roses and shells depicted from the prince's coat of arms. The coin was unveiled May 9 in Toronto at an event hosted by the Centre of Ad-

Royal Canadian Mint/Submitted

Westport's Joel Kimmel is the artist behind the new commemorative royal wedding coin. It's his first royal coin, and 25th coin for the Royal Canadian Mint. diction and Mental Health (CAMH) Foundation, an organization to which the mint donated $25,000 in lieu of a licensing fee. Alison Crawford, senior manager of public affairs for the Royal Canadian Mint, said the donation was made to CAMH to help advance their work. "Discussions were held with Prince Harry who had

visited the facility last fall during the Invictus Games," Crawford said. Prince Harry was following in his mother's (Lady Diana Spencer) footsteps when she was in Toronto in 1991 as part of her work to end the stigmatization of mental health issues. As for Kimmel's illustrations for the mint, Crawford added: "He does great work."

Perth historical society welcomes town crier Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! The May 17 meeting of the Perth & District Historical Society strolls down the paths followed by the local town crier as personified by Perth's own crier, Brent McLaren. "For Crying Out Loud" looks at the history of the town crier with glimpses into some of the stories that are part of our local history. Brent will pose questions such as: Where the first references to criers are found; What the many functions the bell ringer, if indeed they were using a bell, performed for their communities; Was this a solo or a multiple position with respective criers with specified duties? From ceremonial to simply functional, the town crier has

added to the rich tapestry of towns and villages throughout the world. Perth's current crier, Brent McLaren, continues the "loud and proud" traditions that have been part of our story since the settlement was formed. In the early days of the Town of Perth, it is likely that a local crier performed a useful service to the community, but whatever customs that might have existed apparently ceased without any mention of a crier during the 1900s. However, in 2005, the town restarted the tradition in keeping with its heritage image, when, after a competitive process, Brent was appointed by the town council. Since then, McLaren, accompanied by his wife

OPINION

Cathy James wonders what to tip the pizza delivery person. CATHY JAMES cathy@catscovecommunications.com Last week, we headed into the St. John Elementary School gym for one reason: to eat spaghetti. It was the school's annual spaghetti dinner, and there's something that comes with it: the Grade 6 students lace up their maroon aprons and get set to run the show. With pencils and menu sheets in hand, they work in pairs to greet guests, take orders, serve food and close out the sale. It was run like a tight ship and these students learned many skills in those two hours that'll likely last a lifetime.

We had Amanda and Charlie serve us and they were in tune with our needs and patient as our three- and five-year-old children mulled over whether they wanted orange juice, apple juice of coffee. Great job, St. John! When youth consider mindfulness Here's an incredible story: When Amanda Neadow of the JDN Center for Children hosted a mindfulness workshop for youth during the PA Day last month, she had no idea just how much they'd blow her mind. After working all day on mindful-based exercises and activities, the youth were asked how they could be mindful for the rest of the day. Their suggestion? Let's pick up garbage. Yep. Those youth grabbed garbage bags and gloves and spent the afternoon picking up garbage. They wanted to make an effort on how they could be mindful

of their surroundings and give back in a meaningful way. Altogether, they collected five bags filled with garbage littered across a nearby property. What do you tip for pizza delivery? Last week, I was speaking with someone who delivers pizza locally. I was surprised to learn that she loves the job especially since it pays so well. Yep. Apparently Perth and area pizza consumers are good tippers! She said that some people will tip about $30 if it's out of town. Meanwhile, in town customers are also good tippers. I am an avid Friday-night pizza delivery orderer (sure, that's a word). When it's been a busy week, there's nothing I love more than dialing a number to bring our family dinner. With that, my recent conversation got me thinking; what's a good tip for pizza delivery? I need you, dear read-

more than 10 minutes to get all the way across town because of the traffic, and that I find myself gritting my teeth if I hit all five red lights between my house and the office on the way to work, I'm pretty sure I am not cut out for coping with city driving. Nevertheless, sometimes we must drive in a city. Sometimes that city is Toronto. Work stuff occasionally takes there, and when it does, I often end up in meetings somewhere on Dixon Road near the airport. This means I'm pretty comfortable with that hood. Generally, I find driving in Toronto to be not so bad. As long as I know where the lake is I have a decent idea of what direction I'm heading. I also try to force my brain to remember there is no point in expecting to get anywhere fast. I guess that's the difference between driving at home and there I'm used to getting everywhere in approximately 97 seconds here, so when it takes longer I have no tol-

erance for it. (I need to work on this.) Anyway, a few weeks ago I had a meeting in Toronto - the Rexdale area. At the end of the day I planned to head south toward the 401 and home, with a pit stop at the ONRoute in Port Hope that has the Burger King. I don't usually use the GPS on my phone, but after looking at the map and getting a mental grasp of the route, I figured I'd give it a go. Trouble is, I forgot to select the route I wanted, so when I set off, my phone assumed I was wanting to head north and take the toll highway. I realized right away what had happened but figured I might as well stay north and just take Hwy. 7 home. Besides, I needed gas. There would be lots of gas stations along that strip, right? Meanwhile, my brain was cursing at me. "You HATE that stretch of Hwy. 7 north of the city," it said. "You SWORE you would not go that way again," it yelled. "And it's rush hour and there will be nothing but red lights," it muttered. I gritted my teeth. "All true, Brain. Shut it and let's just get gas."

So, I navigated up through Woodbridge. I figured if I stayed in a right-hand lane on Hwy. 7 I was bound to find a plethora of gas stations. Fun fact: did you know that on the south side of Hwy. 7 for about 217 kilometres (it seems) there are no gas stations? Especially along the section that runs parallel to the 407 where there is basically just a wide strip of grass? Meanwhile, across multiple lanes of traffic during rush hour, there are about 356 gas stations on the north side. "You KNEW this, too," Brain screeched, "but you FORGOT." Sigh. To make a long story short, lots of red lights and blocked lanes later, I hung a right at Warden (near a hotel where we had stayed before), found a gas station at Sheppard, hit the 401 and had a great Whopper in Port Hope. Harrumph. I know. I'm a dork. This is why I think teleportation would be very handy sometimes. – Stephanie Gray is a Word Girl, project manager and college teacher who makes up words, has petulant body parts and obsesses about her patio. sjgray@bell.net

Cancer fundraiser saddles up May 12

Battle in the Saddle fundraiser May 12 On Saturday, May 12, local community emergency responders will be switching their uniforms for bike shorts as they get set to take part in the Battle in the Saddle spina-thon on May 12. Hosted by Perth Physiotherapy Wellness Centre and Fitness Centre on Rogers Road, the daylong event has been co-ordinated by the staff and students from the Algonquin College Perth campus' police foundations programs. "Our students love to give back to the community, so when the idea was brought forward for our crew to take this on, the students were all over it," says police foundations program co-ordinator Gerry Salisbury. The event will see emergency responder groups each take on three, 30-minute shifts on 12 spin bikes. The groups already committed in-

clude the Lanark County OPP, the Perth Firefighters' Association, The BBD&E Firefighters' Association, the Smiths Falls Police Service, the Perth Police Services Board and the Lanark Police Services Board as well as local community groups. "We're blown away by the response," says Salisbury, adding that community members can also take part in the spin-a-thon. The participants have pledge sheets and the team with the largest funds raised and bike the furthest distance will take top honours. "While we're calling it a battle, it's really all just for fun and a good excuse to get together in the fight against cancer," explains Salisbury, adding that it's truly a positive event and there's something for everyone. The event will take place inside Perth Physiotherapy, which has donated its gym space, equipment and some instructors' time to help support the initiative.

"We've all been touched by cancer in some way," says Perth Physiotherapy owner Catherine Ball. "To be able to host this fun, healthfocused event while also working to fundraise for such an important cause made it such a good fit for what we try to promote here every day." While the spinners spin inside, the real fun will be happening outside. A barbecue and bike rodeo for children will take place in the parking lot outside of Perth Physiotherapy. The proceeds from the event will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society's Perth and Area Office's Wheels of Hope program. This program provides rides for Perth and Lanark area cancer patients to and from their appointments in Ottawa and Kingston. To learn more about the event, visit the Facebook event page at Battle in the Saddle Perth. Submitted by the Canadian Cancer Society

Want to live longer, be happier and healthier? Volunteer. Studies show that volunteering is actually good for you. Carnegie Mellon reviewed the impact of volunteering on adults over 50. Their findings? Blood pressure, a leading contributor of heart disease and stroke, was lowered in folks who volunteer regularly. It doesn't seem to matter if you volunteer for yourself (e.g. to develop skills or gain work experience) or to benefit others (e.g. to help vulnerable people). The benefits are measurable, from improvements in physical and mental health, to increases in life satisfaction and social well-being. When we do things for others, we actually feel better about ourselves. In 2018, authors in BMC Public Health concluded that "Volunteering should be promoted by public health, education and policy practitioners as a kind of healthy lifestyle ..." The

authors found that the elderly, single people, unemployed people, those with poor health or education were most likely to benefit from volunteering. These are the health benefits for the individual. What about society? Volunteering is an integral and essential service. In 2013, volunteers were found to contribute the equivalent of 1 million fulltime jobs in hours (Martin Turcotte, Volunteering and Charitable Giving in Canada). It is unimaginable to consider how Canadians' social and health needs might be met without this vital infusion of time and skills. Some agencies may not even exist if not for the gift of time. And what do volunteers provide? Volunteers deliver meals to those who can't make their own. They provide much needed support to victims of domestic violence, drive patients to cancer appointments, sit on advisory boards for nonprofit organizations and

We ate eci Appr r You t! or Supp

provide stimulating and interesting activities for the frail elderly. In other words, volunteers make the life that we all enjoy so much richer and kinder. So where can you volunteer? Many Canadians choose a spot where they already know a friend or neighbour is volunteering. At Lanark Lodge you can always find a friend. We're presently reaching out to make new connections between our residents and volunteers who may be interested in sharing a passion or visiting. You can learn more at our volunteer fair on Saturday, May 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visit for the treats and information, stay to enrich your life and those around you. Whether you volunteer with us or elsewhere, thank you for your kindness and generosity. You really are irreplaceable. Submitted by Jane Cunningham, client services manager at Lanark Lodge.

Perth urged to become a more active transport-friendly town DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com If Brockville can do it, so can Perth. A pro-cycling advocate refuted suggestions that a town's layout pre-empts the possibility of expanded cycling and other forms of active movement, during a town council meeting this week. "Brockville is old too," said Jennifer Labelle of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit, during her presentation on an upcoming summit. "A lot of places have the same situations you have." Labelle was responding to concerns put forward by Coun. Jim Boldt at Perth town council's committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, May 1. Boldt said he was reminded of the old Participaction program of years gone by, but, when it came to cycling, he had "concerns" about expanding cycling infrastructure. "This town was built as a military settlement, built for horse and buggy," Boldt said.

"I would like to see more active cycling," but he was concerned how that could be done in a way that protected cyclists, joggers, skaters and motorists alike. "It's hard to expand the width of your streets." He added that education was a big part of the problem. "Sometimes people on bicycles think they own the road," said Boldt, and the same is true of motorized vehicle drivers too. But Deputy Mayor John Gemmell stressed that "if you follow the rules of the road, you should not have a problem." Labelle was talking up the two-day Eastern Ontario Active Transportation Summit conference that begins on Thursday, May 10, at 8 a.m., at a cost of $70, at the Brockville Memorial Centre. "It's to make (active transportation infrastructure) your way," Labelle said. The summit was a chance for interested parties to find out what failed in some areas and succeeded in others.

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

Community services director Shannon Baillon, left, shares a laugh with Jennifer Labelle, of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, before the start of Perth town council's committee of the whole meeting on May 1. She also stressed that cycling infrastructure was not just about long-distance bike trips, but taking them shorter distances too, like to the local library. "It (the sum-

mit) is the answer to the big summits in Toronto," and elsewhere, Labelle explained. "It's a place where we can bring a lot of experts in one place."

One interested party who has expressed an interest in attending - and who often gets around town on a bicycle herself - is community services director Shannon

Baillon. There is a "demand for that kind of lifestyle," said Labelle. "Cycle tourism is growing," and, there is "funding available." Other forms of active movement are the "walking school bus" program, which is being tried out in places like Almonte, Smiths Falls, and Brockville. As many as 80 to 100 participants are expected to attend, with 20 expert presenters and panellists. There will be a bicycle tourism workshop on the second day, and a presentation by Dr. Michael Cheng from the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, who will speak on the health benefits of being active outdoors, among many other presentations. According to data presented by Labelle, about 80 per cent of Ontarians live in municipalities with "complete streets" policies or mandates. The Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program grants about $93 million a year, covering up to 80 per cent of municipal costs.

First responders honoured at dinner, remember Toronto responders after van attack DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Just over 24 hours after the horrific van attack that killed 10 people in Toronto, members of the Lanark County emergency services gathered to celebrate, but also remember. The Perth Civitan Club had planned an emergency services appreciation dinner for several weeks, honouring the Lanark County detachment of the OPP, Lanark County paramedics, and firefighters from

the Perth and BBDE fire departments. The club is hoping that the dinner will become an annual event, but OPP Const. Jeff Whiting reminded the assembled about the "tragic events in Toronto the day before," he said during the dinner on Tuesday, April 24. "Hopefully that never happens in a place like Lanark County," added Whiting. "But we always have to be prepared." Whiting said that the dinner was a great oppor-

I hope we can do it again." Perth fire Chief Trevor Choffe then got up and simply said, "Ditto," to Saunders' remarks, but then added words of his own. "If your day to day actions aren't making someone else's life better, you're wasting your time," Choffe said. Commander David Lali-

The Rideau Lakes Public Library is piloting the Community Information Program, starting May 22, 2018. Understanding that the township needs community information kiosks, the Rideau Lakes Public Library board approved the decision to designate library branches as community information sites. The library offers an ideal solution to fill the community information service gap. To start, the five branches of the Rideau Lakes Public Library are

conveniently located in the main villages throughout the township and are open evenings and weekends. Library staff also possess exceptional service skills and have the training and resources required to be community information ambassadors. For 2018, the Elgin branch will be the main community information hub. There will be a community information display at the Elgin branch; highlighting where people can eat and sleep, what to do, and how to get there.

Community information will also be available at the Newboro, Delta, Portland and South Elmsley branches. For more information on the Community Information Program, email Jamie Gipson at: admin@rideaulakeslibrary.ca or call 613-359-5334. Local businesses and organizations can drop off information at the Elgin Branch or send display items to the following address: Rideau Lakes Public Library, 26 Halladay St. PO Box 189, Elgin, ON K0G 1E0.

They say there is a reason, They say time will heal, But neither time nor reason will change the way we feel. For no-one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times we have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something so there won’t be any doubt, You are wonderful to think about, But still so hard to live without.
