Amanda Jordan, local singer/songwriter, has created a Go Fund Me page and video for Everley Yolkowski, now two years old, in hopes to raise the much-needed funds for a breathing machine.

Called "We love Everley Strong", the fundraiser is hoping to collect some $10,000 needed for the night-breathing machine.

Everley is the daughter of Sarah Patterson and Jordan Yolkowskie of the Smiths Falls area. She was born on Jan. 14, 2016, and suffers from Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS), which affects the body's autonomic function of the

respiratory drive.

People with CCHS take shallow breaths during sleep, resulting in inadequate oxygen and a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood. Ordinarily someone would breathe more deeply or waken, but people with CCHS require mechanized support to maintain breathing patterns.

Everley needs a new C02 monitor which costs approximately $10,000 and is essential for her health.

So Jordan, who is a neighbour of the family, is hosting a dinner/show and live auction June 29 at 6 p.m. through the local legions program at the Perth Best Western Parkside Inn and Spa. Each month a musician is selected to perform

and funds are donated to a charity of their choice.

Jordan wrote a song for her little neighbour, called "Everley Strong" and made a music video staring the child. Both the GoFundMe link and video can be viewed here: https://www.gofundme.com/dashboardwe-love-everley-strongshare-editlink-menu-1 Reservation for the dinner and show on Friday night are required; please call 613-326-0082.

There is a $10 minimum requested for this fundraiser.

Nature Conservancy of Canada protects heart of last intact forest corridor along the Rideau Waterway The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) announced the protection of 48 hectares (120 acres), including 2.5 kilometres of historical Rideau Waterway shoreline, on Whitefish Lake.

Thanks to the support of many donors, this important piece of the local conservation puzzle is now protected for the long term.

A collection of towering granite ridges, rich forests and pristine shoreline, this piece of Whitefish Lake is at the heart of the Frontenac Arch, a key wildlife corridor that connects the Algonquin Highlands to the Adirondack Mountains.

"We are so pleased with the support from the community and people across the province in helping NCC protect this expansive wildlife corridor where northern and southern species converge. Without the help of donors and the local community, this project would not have been possible," said Wendy Cridland, acting regional vice-president for Ontario.

"This new conserved area in the Frontenac Arch shows what we can accomplish when Canadians, organizations and governments work together to protect our environment. Through the Natural Areas Conservation Program, our government supports the Nature Con-

servancy of Canada and its partners to conserve important ecosystems and ensure the health of our nature and wildlife for future generations," added Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change.

The property is critical to a wide variety of plant and animal life, including waterfowl such as mallard, ring-necked duck and wood duck. It is also home to wide-ranging animals like fisher and black bear.

In late 2017, the nonprofit group put out a call to the public to help protect this spectacular natural area.

Many donors - both local and across Ontario stepped up to help.

This Nature Conservancy of Canada project was generously supported by funding from the Government of Canada, through the Natural Areas Conservation Program.

A UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the Frontenac Arch is a unique area of overlap between the northern Canadian Shield and southern Appalachian forests. The Arch supports a great richness of plant and animal species - making this one of the most diverse regions in Canada and a place of great beauty. It serves as a highway for migrating birds, bats and insects, and mammals with large home ranges, including moose and bobcat.

Whitefish Lake includes

2.5 kilometres of shoreline on the Rideau Waterway - a Canadian heritage river.

With little light pollution, Frontenac Arch is visible from space.

The property features trees more commonly found in the Appalachian Mountains to the south, such as pitch pine, shagbark hickory, rock elm and black maple.

The Nature Conservancy of Canada is the nation's leading not-for-profit, private land conservation organization, working to protect our most important natural areas and the species they sustain. Since 1962, NCC and its partners have helped to protect more than 1.1 million hectares (2.8 million acres), coast to coast, with more than 74,400 hectares (184,000 acres) in Ontario. To learn more, visit natureconservancy.ca.

The Government of Canada's Natural Areas Conservation Program (NACP) is a unique publicprivate partnership to accelerate the pace of land conservation across southern Canada. The Nature Conservancy of Canada manages the program. Federal funds are matched by contributions raised by NCC and its partners. Habitat conserved under the NACP enhances natural corridors and other protected areas.

Parents concerned about future of PDCI music program The people DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Parents of musicallyinclined students at PDCI are worried about the future of the school's music programming.

For the past two years, Perth and District Collegiate Institute intermediate level teacher Matt Wallace has been leading two instrumental bands at the school, four days a week, from September to May. According to principal Kellie Weir-Burtt, he was able to accomplish this by swapping with a high school teacher.

The bands "had two very successful competitions in Brockville and at Canada's Wonderland where they were awarded gold-level standings," wrote members of the parents group FAME (Family Advocates for Musical Education). The letter was sent in by concerned parent Rebecca Worden of Sound Unbound Music Therapy Services in Perth on June 14. However, they were worried that "scheduling for next year's courses has begun and instrumental music instruction seems low on

the priority list," wrote Worden and her colleagues.

"Earlier this spring, enough students signed up for instrumental instruction at the high school level to fill two classes," Worden continued.

"Despite having a qualified music teacher, all of the necessary instruments and sheet music, the children's success and interest, instrumental instruction is in question."

During a telephone interview on Wednesday, June 20, Weir-Burtt explained that the school has been without a qualified, full-time, high school-level music teacher.

"Our hope is to get a qualified high school teacher to teach music during the day," said WeirBurtt. "We are not done our staffing procedures" for this September.

In the interim, the school has tried to "keep (the) music program alive" by way of "afterschool courses for music."

While Weir-Burtt commended the excellent work done by Wallace, she admitted that he is not technically qualified to

teach full-time during the day. The FAME parents charged that the holdup was that teachers at PDCI "are governed by two different unions, (which seems) to be to blame for this astonishing decision," they wrote.

"It's not the unions so much as it is having someone willing to swap," WeirBurtt said. She did admit, however, that Wallace, if he wished to teach at the high school level, could, but "he would have to switch unions" from the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario to the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, which would mean a drop in seniority for him.

Also, for the next school year, on the practical side, "it was impossible to schedule it, to make it work."

In an email exchange with The Perth Courier on June 21, Wallace pointed out that "I am qualified," and noted that "I have taught band after school for four years now, and not because of a switch with teachers, because I applied for it, and got the position." Wallace added that "The band(s) had

amazing success this year despite the fact that there was no class offered during the schedule."

Weir-Burtt said she was aware that there were enough students who had signed up to make up two full classes - and that the courses had been offered by way of design, even without a teacher set up to go, as of this point.

"We put music in our list of courses with the hope that if we had ... enough students interested" that would mean that they could prove a demand, and help them in the hiring process. "It's good to have the information."

She hopes to make the program sustainable year after year.

"I am pretty confident" that a teacher will be hired, Weir-Burtt said.

The school is "in the second final round of staffing" at the fifth phase of staffing and has posted for two drama sections (following the retirement of drama teacher Ted Bryant) and one section for a music teacher. They have since found a qualified drama teacher but are still waiting for a qualified

music teacher.

Weir-Burtt said she understood the concerns of parents whose children "have had such a good year" in the program. "We are doing what we can. I'm feeling pretty good."

She stressed that even if a qualified teacher is found - she hopes she may hear as early as this Friday, June 22 - "our goal is still to run after-school programs" like the ones run by Wallace. "We will add to that."

The parents in the letter, however, appeared more pessimistic.

"Our public education system no longer supports and encourages efforts for instrumental musical instruction," wrote the group in its letter, a copy of which was made available for publication in The Perth Courier. "If you remember your high school musical instruction fondly, please take action," they wrote, recommending that parents contact Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MPP Randy Hillier or Upper Canada District School Board trustee William "Bill" MacPherson.

"Tell them that our children deserve better."

have spoken: Adjustment made to Regional Round-Up

It was intended to be an improvement on an old favourite. It certainly didn't work out that way.Changes made to Regional Round-Up two months ago, the paper's longstanding community calendar, sparked a firestorm of complaints.

Phone calls, emails and even a petition with more than 100 names were received at the office - all with the same message: "We think the new calendar doesn't work (events appearing by date) and we want it to return to the way it was (listed by community)."

The people have spoken, loud and clear.

This week we hope we've found a suitable compromise for our readers. You will find Regional Round-Up split into four segments, listing events by town/region: Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place/Almonte and Kemptville.

We know this still isn't the answer to everyone's requests but it does, hopefully, make the listings a bit clearer to follow. The font size also remains larger than the old calendar which is the one thing that readers noted they did like of the new format.

In the meantime, all community events are listed on our website: insideottawavalley.com.

The calendar can be found at several spots on the main landing page and lists each event by day.

We will continue to gauge reaction to this change from our readers.

If concerns remain, we will do our best to accommodate suggestions.

We thank you for your patience and for your continued support.

The Table/Submitted

Kids from local youth centres learn safe handling of food and how to cook nutritiously, thanks to programs at The Table Community Food Centre.

Youth prepare good grub with The Table ty training and gain some experience they can use toward job applications down the road.

"The programs are very much youth led and the menu ideas and topics covered in each session come from discussions with the participants and staff at the youth centres," says Coral Sproule, youth food skills co-ordinator for The Table.

One of the most rewarding outcomes for Sproule is when youth that started out with decidedly picky eating habits began to open up and try new things as they became more interested and trusting. It's an important time in their lives to learn more about healthy eating and some of the youth are starting to think about venturing out on their own.

At a recent session at YAK participants discussed early food memories and explored their relationships with food. Helping develop a positive relationship to food, and keeping food fun and social is a trademark of The Table that is especially relevant to youth today.

As a culminating activity before the summer break, The Table and the Lanark Highlands Youth Centre are partnering with the Lanark Highlands Public Library for a special food demonstration. Youth participants will

be preparing and sampling some delectable snacks for the public at a "Lemonade Party" that will launch the library's TD Kids Summer Reading program. The party is taking place at the Lanark Highlands Public Library on the afternoon of June 28, 2018 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The library is located at: 75 George St. second floor.

Please come out to try some yummy treats, while you are there sign up for the reading program and have a refreshing drink.

The Table's youth centre programs will be taking a short break during July and August, but will be starting up again in September with some fresh ideas and hopes of new participants joining in the fun. Like most of the youth centres' programming these sessions are "drop-in" programs designed to stand alone without an ongoing commitment to attend, though attending regularly allows the youth to build on the skills and information from previous sessions.

Please visit www.thetablecfc.org to look for updates for the fall sessions. To find out more about these and other youth-centred programs being offered by The Table, please call Sproule, youth food skills co-ordinator at 613-267-6428 x 6 or email coral@thetablecfc.org.

With the goal of increasing its positive impact in the community and reaching a demographic that is underserved by existing programs, staff from The Table Community Food Centre in Perth spent the winter and spring developing partnerships with area youth centres.

As a result of this outreach, biweekly food literacy programs have been on offer at YAK in Perth, WAK in Smiths Falls and at the Lanark Highlands Youth Centre in Lanark Village. At each fun-filled session participants explored a range of recipes from homemade fresh pasta and bread, to tacos. They discussed healthy, simple and affordable food options, and the hands-on sessions allowed the youth to learn and improve their food skills and knowledge, which are sure to enhance their eating habits into adulthood.

"Perfecto!" exclaimed one young cook as they finished preparing their Caesar salad to accompany a sweet potato mac and cheese. Another youth asked in earnest, "Are there yams in here?" as they struggled to believe that something so delicious could also be nutritious. The youth have also sharpened their knife skills and learned safe food handling techniques.

There will even be an opportunity for some of the participants to complete food safe-

The Need is NOW We need YOUR

HELP to buy a CARDIAC MONITORING SYSTEM for our ICU DEPARTMENT!!!

We have reached end of life for the Cardiac Monitoring System.

Simply put, without this equipment we will not be able to sustain an Intensive Care Unit in Smiths Falls, resulting in patients not being treated close to their home in a supportive, family and patient centred environment.

Did You Know? THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

Message from the Hospital Foundation Chair The Intensive Care Unit at the Smiths Falls site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital is in desperate need of a crucial piece of equipment.

The Telemetry System, which allows healthcare professionals to monitor patients in surgery and in the ICU has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced before the end of this year.

In Smiths Falls, the five main reasons patients get admitted to the ICU are: heart arrhythmias, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart failure, angina and any

other significant heart issues. Other routine admissions that need cardiac monitoring include: diabetics in crisis, post-surgical patients with or without invasive ventilation, unstable mental health patients and substance abuse (overdose) patients, amongst others.

Of the more than 260 patients admitted to the ICU in the past year, nearly 100% needed some components(s) of the cardiac monitoring technology provided by the Telemetry System when they were admitted.

ED will get a lot longer if we do not have monitoring capability because physicians will be forced to transfer patients to other care centres – i.e. Ottawa or Kingston.

This system costs $380,000 and is essential to the Hospital’s ability to maintain critical care services in the community.

In a nutshell, cardiac monitoring is absolutely essential to the functioning of an ICU. It basically enables healthcare professionals on the unit to provide critical care to patients close to their home.

We thank you all for the support you have always given your local hospital but now we need your help again more than ever. Please consider making a donation today whether it be by cash, cheque, credit card or perhaps stocks or bonds any form of support will help. Any questions please contact the foundation office at 613-2839743 and speak with Executive Director- Lise Smith.

Most of the Hospital’s ICU patients are admitted through the Emergency Department (ED), and wait times in the

Lanark County reminds residents jumping is prohibited from trail bridges

Lanark County is reminding residents that jumping from trail bridges within the County of Lanark is unsafe and strictly prohibited.

The county was advised by the Ontario Provincial Police that they are receiving reports of young people jumping into the Mississippi River from the fenced off and posted "No Trespassing" bridges located along the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT) in the Town of Almonte.

Representatives from Enerdu Power Systems

Inc. have advised that the turbines which are located on the west side of the bridge where the youth were seen jumping is not currently being operated at full speed. Once the turbines are brought up to full speed there is an increased risk of catastrophic injury.

Lanark County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves noted that the abandoned CP Rail Corridor, now known as the OVRT, is not slated to be opened until fall of 2018; therefore, members of the public should not be ac-

cessing the bridge at all.

"The trail is currently closed. We are working on the trail in various locations so please stay away from the construction. Upgrades to the Almonte bridges will start in the next two weeks with completion slated for September."

The County of Lanark is reminding residents that it is extremely unsafe to jump from any bridge located along the OVRT and the potential exists for someone to be seriously hurt or killed.Source: Lanark County

UCDSB announces plans for new school in Brockville school will replace Commonwealth and Toniata public schools in the city and is expected to open in September 2022.

The City of Brockville has also entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale for 9.93 acres of land to accommodate a new twin pad arena and sports field. This recreational infrastructure will be designed to provide additional amenities including an indoor walking track and artificial field.

The time frame for construction and opening of this new recreational infrastructure is dependent upon the receipt of third party funding.

This purchase and sale is conditional upon a number of factors, including a customary due diligence period until Nov. 30, 2018.

"It is truly a pleasure to partner with the City of Brockville on this important project that will benefit families in the city for years to come," said UCDSB chair Jeff McMillan. "I am confident that our students will benefit from modern buildings that are energy efficient and sustainable in the long-term thanks to this project."

"This purchase agreement represents the first of many major milestones in the development of what will be Brockville's largest recreational facility," concluded Coun. Jason Baker.

"While we have a long way to go, we are one step closer to seeing all residents of our region enjoying a new recreational facility worthy of the city of the 1000 islands."Source: UCDSB

ABOUT US

Be aware of the water this summer Summer's here and what better way to beat the heat than to head to the nearest swimming spot.

With the summer's heat though, the local health unit is urging users of public beaches to exercise cautio The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is starting weekly water sampling of the area's public bathing beaches for this year. The beaches will be monitored weekly throughout the summer season until the end of August.

In Lanark County, the health unit will monitor Almonte Beach, Dalhousie Lake, Centennial Beach, Riverside Beach, Lanark Beach, Pakenham Beach, Rideau Ferry Yacht Club, Robertson Lake Beach, Smiths Falls junior and senior beaches.

In Leeds and Grenville, the health unit is watching Sand Bay Charleston Lake County Park, St. Lawrence Park, Lyn Valley Conservation Area, South Crosby Beach, Portland Campbell Street Beach, Foley Mountain Beach, Joel Stone Beach in Gananoque, Kendrick's Park in Lyndhurst, Lower Beverley Township Park in Delta, Bellamy Park near Toledo, Kelly's Beach, Merrickville, and Westport's Sand Lake Every week a total of five water samples will be collected from each beach. The results will then be analyzed for the presence of E. coli (Escherichia coli) bacteria. If the results exceed the bathing water standard of 100 E. coli, the beach will be posted with a "WARNING Unsafe for Bathing" sign indicating that the level of bacteria in the water may pose a risk to your health if you choose to swim. This information will appear on the health unit's website and in radio reports. Updates are being posted Friday mornings by 9:30 a.m.

Research has shown that when people are swimming at beaches where the water has a high E. coli level, there is a direct relationship with an increase in ear, eye, nose and throat infections in swimmers. The bathing beach will remain posted until test results indicate that the water quality meets the bathing beach water standard.

To help you better understand "Why Beaches are Posted", read the information here: http://healthunit.org/health-information/recreational-water/beaches/ Bacterial water quality is one parameter used to determine water quality. Other variables, which are assessed and evaluated, are the presence of a bluegreen algae bloom, accidental spills that may pollute the water and any safety issue that could affect the health of the bathers.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Music low on priority list at high school Dear Editor, The residents of Perth should be told of the tenuous state of music instruction in this town's public high school. Scheduling for next year's courses has begun and instrumental music instruction seems low on the priority list.

The two instrumental bands at Perth and District Collegiate Institute, under the competent direction of Matt Wallace, worked four days a week from September to May. They had two very successful competitions in Brockville and at Canada's Wonderland where they were awarded gold level standings!

Earlier this spring,

enough students signed up for instrumental instruction at the high school level to fill two classes. Despite having a qualified music teacher, all of the necessary instruments and sheet music, the children's success and interest, instrumental instruction is in question. Scheduling issues and the fact that teachers at PDCI are governed by two different unions seem to be to blame for this astonishing decision.

Our public education system no longer supports and encourages efforts for instrumental musical instruction. If you remember your high school musical instruction fondly please take action. Write to our MPP, Mr. Randy Hillier and the UCDSB board trustee, William MacPherson. Tell them that our children de-

One foot over the line causes parking ticket Dear Editor, On June 15, 2018 my wife and I were on our way to Westport. We decided to drive through Perth rather than take the bypass. We found two-hour free parking on Gore Street and spent a pleasant hour walking around. What a beautiful town it is.

Just like your website says: "Finally, you'll experience the community: Perth is the kind of place where people say hello when pass-

ing on the sidewalks."

Well, someone on the sidewalk did say hello to us - a bylaw officer. He was kind enough to tell me why I was given a $15 parking ticket. He said that I was not within the white lines in an area where there were no parking meters. He said it wasn't him who ticketed me, but his colleague.

I agree. I was one foot over the line. But there were many cars over the line, one causing a chain reaction for the rest. They were handing out ticket after ticket for each of car. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.

Please consider changing the bylaw so that the officers can focus on more important infractions.

I remain: "One foot over the line, sweet Jesus."

OPINION

DEAR EDITOR: There are times when I disagree with the views that Jeff Maguire expresses in his column, but I completely agree with his recent take on provincial election surveys ("Polling was annoying part of election" - June 21). I think everyone was exhausted by the number of polls during the campaign, and I think Maguire is on to something when he notes that it may have had an influence on the way things turned out.

More important, Maguire is the first columnist I have encountered to note that no one in the mass media seemed interested in for presenting basic information, such as the methodology, sample size, nature of questions posed, etc. Without such information, one is no further ahead after reading the poll results than they were prior to reading it.

A first rate column on a very important subject. Thank you for publishing it.

Keefe's rise in coaching ranks began in CCHL Jeff Maguire writes about the success of a local coach It is summer, the off season in hockey, but there are a lot of interesting stories related to the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) these days most of which have garnered little if any mainstream publicity. I hope to help rectify that somewhat in this week's column and in a future article.

One of the most interesting stories in all of hockey at present has a strong CCHL connection.

I'm referring to the success story surrounding Sheldon Keefe who, between 2007 and 2011, coached Pembroke Lumber Kings to five consecutive CCHL championships. Lumber Kings' incredible success culminated with a Royal Bank Cup Canadian Junior A championship triumph in May of 2011. Keefe had purchased Lumber Kings in the summer of 2003 and he assumed the head coach and general manager roles with the hockey club three years later.

The Brampton, Ontario na-

JEFF MAGUIRE Column tive had an excellent junior hockey career with Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Keefe was selected 44th overall in the 1999 NHL entry draft by Tampa Bay Lightning and played 125 games for the club. But after just five pro seasons he opted to stop playing and move into hockey management. With Lumber Kings he compiled an amazing 285-92-12 mark!

Halfway through the 20112012 season he was picked to try and assist the then struggling Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the OHL. In 'The Soo' Keefe, as head coach, teamed with a young man named Kyle Dubas the club's general manager.

The Keefe-Dubas partnership proved to be golden! In just

three seasons Greyhounds surged to the top of the OHL standings. In 2014-2015 Keefe's Greyhounds topped the OHL with a franchise record 52-12-2 record. Keefe was named 'Coach of the Year' in both the OHL and Canadian Hockey League. The Soo swept two playoff rounds before being bested in six games by the Erie (Pennsylvania) Otters and a sensational young forward named Connor McDavid.

In 2014 Dubas had been named assistant general manager of the Maple Leafs a role which included general manager duties with Leafs' top farm team, Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League (AHL). A year later Leafs' organization turned to Keefe, installing him as head coach of the AHL Marlies a team who, until now, hadn't enjoyed much success in pro hockey.

In just three years Keefe and Dubas turned Marlies into a powerhouse. This season they compiled the best mark in the AHL including a league record 32 road victories. On Thursday night, June 14 that success culminated when Marlies won the seventh and deciding game of

the Calder Cup final against the Texas Stars.

Adding up his coaching success in Pembroke, Sault Ste. Marie and with the Marlies Keefe has compiled a truly amazing winning percentage of over 700 percent.

A month before the Calder Cup win the 31-year-old Dubas, a native of Sault Ste. Marie, was named general manager of the Maple Leafs.

As for Keefe, at the young age of 37 he is now at the top of the list of AHL coaches considered most likely to move up to the NHL. Time will tell what's on the cards for Sheldon Keefe as his career continues to gain momentum. However, given the young man's penchant for coaching winning teams it appears the sky is the limit. And just think. It all started in the CCHL right here in Eastern Ontario! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

Canada is in the economic 'sweet spot,' says visiting Bank of Canada director DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Jane Voll may not work in an ivory tower in Toronto, but she and fellow Bank of Canada top brass have been making a point to get away from Bay Street and Parliament Hill more often, and out onto Main Streets across Canada.

Many years ago, "the bank was accused (of) being out of touch with Canadians ... in an ivory tower," said Donna Howard, the current chair of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (and a former Bank of Canada employee), in introducing Jane Voll, bank's regional director (economics) for Ontario, to the Probus Club of Perth's monthly meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion hall on Wednesday, May 2.

Back in the early 1990s, "we (were) doing a really bad job of explaining who we are. We are accountable to the taxpayer," said Howard.

Voll joined the bank in 2008, after a stint with the Insurance Bureau of Canada. That was the year The Great Recession began and Voll "came at a very interesting time," said Howard.

By visiting Perth and meeting with the Probus Club, Howard said that Voll was "staying in touch with Canadians."

Voll admitted that her trip to eastern Ontario was, in part, "to gather insights into what is happening outside of the GTHA (Greater Toronto Hamilton Area)."

(She cautioned that her views that morning were

her own, not necessarily those of the Bank of Canada.)

The Bank of Canada began service in July of 1934, following the findings of a royal commission reporting to the Conservative government of R.B. Bennett, as "a special kind of Crown corporation." In the bank's first decade, bank notes from different banks were in circulation (such as the Commercial Bank), but, by 1944, the bank became the sole distributor of bank notes in the country.

The bank still serves this function today, making sure that "the right amount of bills, in the right denominations," are where they should be (banks, ATMs), when they should be.

The bank also sets interest rates, but she cautioned that "there is a lot of risk and uncertainty," in the markets today, not the least of which are set off by "what foreign shocks will come on your Twitter feed in the morning," she said.

Trying to divine the future, or even present, is not an easy task for the bank.

For example, the bank now has firm economic numbers for January - and it's already the first week of May. She likened the process to driving in the dark, in a fog, looking out of one's rear-view mirror.

Inflation and The Great Recession In 1991, the Bank of Canada was tasked with trying to "bring inflation down," to between one and two per cent, with a targeted two per cent average. Canadian price index inflation since

Jane Voll, the Bank of Canada's regional director (economics) for Ontario, smiles up at Donna Howard, chair of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, before Howard introduced her to the Probus Club of Perth, during the club's monthly meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion hall on May 2. the early 1990s has been "pretty stable," she said, save for moments like The Great Recession period of 2008-2009. "We see inflation firming," for the next little while, she added.

There are, however, risks to the inflation outlook: • Weaker Canadian investment and exports; • Sharp tightening of global financial conditions; • Stronger real GDP growth in the United States; • Stronger consumption and rising household debt levels in Canada; • A pronounced decline in house prices in overheated markets.

Voll reminded her audience that the effects of The Great Recession are still being felt.

"It's taken a decade to get here," said Voll. "We've been biking uphill," for the past 10 years, though she cautioned that some of this has been "artificially propped up by low interest rates."

"It's been 10 years. You may think, 'Get over it already,'" she said. However, she reminded her audience that $10 trillion of economic activity was wiped off the books in that period, and 62 million jobs lost. And, were it not for policies that were already in place here in Canada, that recession

could have been far worse here.

"We have been performing below potential for a decade," she said. Before The Great Recession, five per cent growth for the four years leading up to the crash were normal. Now, "three per cent is the new normal," for economic growth. In places like China, for example, six per cent growth is predicted for 2020 - robust growth, to be sure, but slower when compared to the 10 per cent plus growth it experienced before the crash.

"China is now the largest economy in the world," she said, taking up 18 per cent of the world economy, eclipsing the U.S. Right now, "global growth is solid and broadbased," she said. However, "escalating trade tensions pose significant risks," she said. That very day, for example, an America trade delegation was in Beijing for talks. She was also concerned about "protectionist trade policies," which she said were a "big mistake" when they were tried during The Great Depression in the 1930s, possibly making a comeback under Donald Trump.

But the "new fiscal stimulus" put forward by Washington, D.C., is "expected to boost U.S. growth."

A major demographic change that will change the face of the future economy is that, by 2031, one in four Canadians will be aged 65 and older. But in the interim, new data is showing that more people are participating in the labour force,

and there is "stronger world trade and business investment growth." As the economy has rebounded, that has resulted in a "pull up (of) oil prices. Demand for oil has gone up."

Projected global economic growth numbers are mostly positive for 2019; • United States: 2.7 per cent • Euro zone area: 1.7 per cent • Japan: 1.0 per cent • China: 6.3 per cent • Rest of the World: 2.4 per cent Canada's future "We are in the sweet spot," said Voll, of Canada's future economic outlook.

"The economy is operating at capacity." Potential output growth is expected to average 1.8 per cent, and "growth is to become more balanced over time." However, with rising interest rates likely to come, "we think households will be spending less," she said.

Wages were also rising, she said, and she was quick to point out that this was not all because of the minimum wage, and more to do with employers hoping to retain good staff.

Other key points on the Canadian economy were that: • GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is expected to be slightly above potential in 2018 and 2019; • There is a shift toward a more balanced composition of growth; • Wage growth continues to firm; • CPI inflation is expected to be close to two per cent.

Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces perform for St. John high school students

insideottawavalley.com

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com While servicemen and women may be comrades in arms, when it comes to the Armed Forces' Central Band, they are also, a band of brothers and sisters (pardon the pun).

The band performed in the gym of St. John Catholic High School in Perth on

Thursday, May 17, as a way for students to see just some of what Canadian Forces members can do because the band "exemplifies and showcases some of the things that we do for you," said conductor Capt.

John Fullerton.

Part of any organization, like a band or an army, is "teamwork ...(seeing) what it means to play

together as a team."

And the band, like any group, also focuses not only on the collective, but the individual too, especially the concept of "individual preparedness," said Fullerton. "You need to practice your parts, take it from me."

The program ran the gamut from theme music by composer John Wil-

liams for the early Star Wars movies, to dubstep music from Jamaica, to music with a militaristic air.

Fullerton explained that the armed forces take music seriously, even offering their own conductor training program.

He added that "we communicate a lot of emotion through music."

Picking off potato bugs one of most hated jobs on the farm

Not even prospect of ice cream made it palatable, Mary Cook recalls MARY COOK Column Each pail had a couple inches of coal oil in it, and the smell just about knocked me over.

We all had a row to start in, and if anyone finished too quickly, Father was right there to check to make sure the job was being done right. Of course, if we missed more than the odd bug, he would make us go right back to the start of the row and begin all over again.

Making the job even more hateful was our having to wear long sleeves to keep the mosquitoes from eating us alive. So as the sun rose higher and higher in the Northcote sky, whatever we had on was soon sticking to our backs like tar paper.

You had to be sure you dunked the potato bug into the coal oil, because if you didn't, it simply crawled out of the can and went to another plant. So it wasn't long until our fingers were covered with coal oil, which I was sure was doing us bodily harm. Mother assured me a good soaking in warm soapy water when we were finished was all that was needed to get rid of both the coal oil and the smell.

When we had completed the hateful job, Father gathered up all the little cans and took them into the drive shed, and with a sieve over a pail, he emptied each can. That was good coal oil, and it wasn't to be wasted.

w

ne

As far as I was concerned, it was the most hateful job on the entire farm! Mother's garden was flourishing this time of year, and that included her row-on-row of potatoes.

They were covered with blossoms, and that meant they were also covered with potato bugs, which I loathed with a passion! Because, all of us had the job of getting rid of them.

There was no easy way of doing it. Each of us carried a little tin can of coal oil, and we went up and down the rows of potatoes and pinched off the bugs, and put them into the coal oil where they soon were floating on their backs dead as doornails.

I wanted to wear the only pair of white gloves I owned, and they were only put on my hands for church, and I knew there wasn't a chance in the world Mother would let me get away with wearing them to pick off the bugs, and so like everyone else, I had to use my bare hands.

Mother tried to take some of the pain out of the job by promising we could make ice cream when we were finished, and have a sort of picnic in the grape arbour. But the thought of eating anything after picking off potato bugs held little appeal for any of us.

Father had the little pails all lined up on the back stoop waiting for us when we finished breakfast, which was earlier than usual, since Mother said it was best we start before the real heat of the day settled in.

The sieve full of dead or dying potato bugs was taken behind the silo and buried, and hopefully that was the end of the job for another year. But sometimes, if the weather was hot and everything else fell into place, there would be another batch of potato bugs, and the whole job would have to be done over again.

I could never understand why we had to bother with getting rid of them in the first place. The plants were high, the potatoes were deep in the ground, and the bugs were nowhere near them. So why did we have to bother with killing them? When I asked my sister Audrey, she had no explanation either.

It was just one of the prices we had to pay to have a cellar full of potatoes to tide us over the long winters ahead. It wasn't a job that could be finished quickly either. It sometimes took the better part of the day.

When it was done to Father's satisfaction, we soaked our hands in the wash basin of hot soapy water, which Mother had to change often, before we could rid our hands of the smell of coal oil. When Mother got out the old homemade ice cream maker, sadly none of us had much stomach for what was ahead.

Catholic school board highlights Education Week

Each year, the Catholic community of Ontario engages in a weeklong celebration of the unique identity and distinctive contributions of Catholic education during Catholic Education Week. This year, Catholic Education Week took place from May 6 to 11. The event celebrated the theme "Renewing the Promise," which draws on documents created by the Assembly of Catholic Bishops of Ontario about Catholic education in Ontario. The week began with the celebration of the annual board-wide mass at Holy Cross Parish in Kemptville, which was led by Archbishop Terrence Prendergast of the archdiocese of Ot-

tawa.

Superintendent of school effectiveness, Natalie Cameron, gave a brief overview of the week's events, which was followed by a video presentation. Throughout the week, schools shone a great light on the ways in which Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) Catholic schools celebrate Catholic education. The week was marked by special activities and events for all grade levels, including prayer celebrations, service activities, celebrations of the arts, sporting events, and fundraisers; the spirit of service and learning was the hallmark of each event.

The person who came forward is no longer able to help.

We are also accepting applications for director positions on the LAWS' board.

Are you able to help in transporting cats and kittens to vet appointments and to pet stores in Perth, Carleton Place and Almonte?

For more information please send an email to shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or president@lanarkanimals.ca.

Featured Pets Please visit Zoey who is available in Almonte at Pet Valu. The staff in the store say that she's very affectionate and she just loves people. She's not too keen on dogs, so maybe a no-doghousehold would be best for her.

Zoey loves belly rubs. She's a pretty young lady who'd love to follow you home and give you back the love you share with her.

Please meet her in Almonte.

Hey there! Could you be my prince charming? I am Twilight

Twilight is available for adoption at LAWS.

Ranger Rick is available for adoption at LAWS.

Plumpkin is available for adoption at LAWS.

Zoey is available for adoption at LAWS.

and I am a perfect little princess looking for a new castle to live in!

If you are looking to shower a new pretty kitty with love and affection then I'm your girl. I'm an expert at playing with toys, I love fish-tanks to go fishing and would love to have the freedom to come and go when I want and where I want in my new home.

Ask about me today! I am currently available in Perth at Pet

Valu.

Plumpkin is our lovely fullfigured girl who was brought in by a Good Samaritan not too long ago. She was obviously someone's pet, however nobody came looking for her yet. Plumpkin is about six years old and loves to be petted and is friendly, but is currently finding the shelter a little overwhelming with all the cats and different smells.

Hopefully someone will come forward to adopt her soon.

Are you looking to add a sweet and gentle kitty to your home then meet Ranger Rick. He's fairly calm and loves to be held, petted and playtime. He arrived on a cold day in March, wounded and needing some help. Meanwhile he's totally recovered, shares his space with other cats and is hoping a family comes along soon to

give him a chance to show you how amazing he is.

Thank you for your continued support. Follow us at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and at lanarkanimals.com.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.com or by calling 613-283-9308. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

Gordon McCoy indeed won the one true war

Reflecting on the impact of a wise and caring friend, Lyle Dillabough writes

R0013021901

One of the greatest men I have ever known was Gordon McCoy. He was surely the salt of the earth.

A quiet, reserved, patient man who turned out to be one of the wisest individuals I have ever met.

He hid his profound wisdom from me for a long time but ultimately, his humble unassuming character could no longer disguise his deep down character.

I met Gordon while performing pastoral care duties for the Almonte United Church in 1999. His name was on my list of people to visit at Fairview Manor. Once I met him however, we soon became great friends and from then on the "list" had little to do with it and I saw him often.

They were truly wonderful times.

Gordon and I had lived completely opposite lives.

He spent his entire adult life in one place farming and nurturing a piece of land in Beckwith Township while I had rambled about here and there.

His was the story of a stability while mine was one of chaos and distress.

LYLE DILLABOUGH Column He nurtured things while I had gotten pretty good by then of destroying things and myself. Needless to say I had much to learn and Gordon had much to teach.

And by gosh he taught me too.

He did so because he had the time and more importantly because he cared. So often is the case when one agrees to volunteer to help others that the one who "volunteers" ends up getting "help" the most.

And I most likely needed it.

"I like these little visits," he would often say, "because you are not like other men and I like that."

Gordon's farm was located near the part of the township that is known as the "Derry." Interestingly enough, shortly after his death I encountered the derry after being introduced to the abandoned Prospect United Church that has since held the annual "Doo in the Derry" fundraising concerts.

It was there, on his farm, that he and his wife (the late Inez 'Abdallah' McCoy) raised two daughters (Sylvia and Andrea),

worked the land and served the community in a number of different ways.

Inez was far more outgoing than her husband and was always involved with community organizations and wrote articles for the Carleton Place Canadian newspaper among other things. Presently, Andrea plays a similar role, serving on the board of the Lanark Federation of Agriculture and hosts a farming radio show on Valley Heritage Radio (CJHR-FM) Renfrew.

Gordon was actually born near Vankleek Hill but came to Beckwith Township as a young man with his parents.

"My father should have been anything but a farmer," Gordon would often say. "His heart wasn't in it and he would rather sing or deal horses."

Gordon, on the other hand, was quite content to create his livelihood atop the soil. His sister, Dorothy Jack, described him as a "meek and mild soul," who was tolerant of others and basically content.

And although he was quiet, he was not without influence.

He served as director of the Dairy Producers Association and was active in the Orange Lodge and the United Church.

Gordon used to say, "there's something different about you and you see with wide eyes."

There was something special about him that I liked very much also.

the main thing is to win the war!" And I'd say that in his case he surely did.

So when he died (in 2005) and as I was weeping alongside his coffin, I could have sworn that I heard him laugh.

And who knows? Maybe I did.

Then as we drove away from the cemetery I smiled to myself and thought, "you really did it Gordon. You got it right.

You overcame this life and you won the war."

Knowing this makes me happy and it increases my faith immensely.

What a gift! What a gift, indeed.

Wisdom He sits quietly in his

room, Patiently he waits there, Searching the endless horizon Or, reflecting on numerous memories ..., While perched, in a steel wheelchair Now he truthfully knows, What was told to him years ago Let the sun shine, let the rain fall, Never pick it, But let the flower grow.

He would say, "there is only one way out of here you know," referring to his nursing home. "You walk in but you go out feet first, in either an ambulance or a hearse."

But Gordon didn't mean this in a negative way but rather in the context that such is the way of life. Just like the seasons and the cycles of time, love and life.

I think the greatest thing he taught me about life was that, "it's not what lies outside a man that one need fear but rather it's what lies within that one needs to be most concerned about."

He'd say, "You're bound to lose some battles but

'On Golden Pond' offers great story, great acting

When the film On Golden Pond opened in theatres in 1981, it represented the work of three actors at the peak of their artistic prowess, Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda and his daughter Jane. Fittingly, Henry Fonda and Kate Hepburn each won an Academy Award for their portrayal of an aging couple dealing with the effects of dementia. At the time, their remarkable performances inspired every member of the film's cast to do their best work ever.

This June 28, the Studio Theatre premieres its own production of On Golden Pond, and for the local actors portraying the storied roles of Norman, Ethel

and Chelsea Thayer, the performances of Hepburn and Fonda are still an inspiration.

Janet Rice, a veteran actress who is well-known to stage and film audiences, plays Ethel Thayer, forced to cope with her husband's ever-loosening grip on reality as they arrive at their cottage for another season.

"Katharine Hepburn's portrayal of Ethel was a revelation, filled with heart and humanity," says Janet. "It's fascinating to watch a softer side of Norman emerge through his dementia, and how Ethel deals with it. The person

she's loved for 40 years is beginning to disappear ..."

Local actor Rob Glas, seen most recently as Monsignor O'Hara in the Studio Theatre's hit show Sister Act, The Musical, plays Norman Thayer, whose world is changing around him.

"On Golden Pond is a funny, bittersweet and very real story," says Rob. "Our director, David Parry, played this role 10 years ago, but insists that I bring my own instincts to the part. Norman Thayer is a great role, a character that has become part of our culture."

Dana Ruprecht, a

skilled young actress with years of Toronto stage experience, plays Norman and Ethel's daughter Chelsea, who has spent decades in a chafing, conflict-filled relationship with her abrasive father.

The emotional landscape is further roiled when Chelsea arrives at the cabin with a new boyfriend and his teenage son. Dana Ruprecht says that in some ways her portrayal of Chelsea draws from her own family experience.

"Relationships evolve in every family. There are doors that open and doors that close, and I do have a certain emotional stake in this role," she says. "It's fascinating when you dis-

cover things in your own life that you can bring to your portrayal of a character."

Rob Rainer, who has acted with the Greely Players and Ottawa Little Theatre, and was seen recently in the Studio Theatre's production of 9 to 5, The Musical, plays Chelsea's boyfriend, Bill. Rob was drawn to On Golden Pond by the essence of the story - people coming to terms with aging and mortality. "I also really bonded with the play's rustic cottage setting," he says. "It's one of the things that brought me to eastern Ontario in the first place."

Talented 12-year-old actor Ben Sproule plays the

pivotal role of Billy Junior, Bill's teenage son. When Chelsea and Bill arrive with the boy, Norman is decidedly unimpressed.

But in time a bond grows between Billy and the old man.

"Norman likes Billy because he speaks his mind," says Ben. "Norman always wanted a son, and that's one of the reasons Chelsea and her dad were never close."

The cast of On Golden Pond also includes well known character actor Hugh McCulloch as Charlie the mailman, a simple soul who has always harboured feelings for Chelsea. Charlie is too naive or too kind - to grasp Nor-

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

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Opportunity is knocking, Aries. You must tune in and listen to it this week. Stay passionate in your endeavors, but exercise a little cautioun as well.

Cancer, you are heading in the right direction, but you may have to fine-tune the destination this week. Your intended romantic target may not be the perfect fit.

People often see you as even-keeled, Libra. But tempers may flare this week if you don’t get your way.

Others should watch when you’re fired up.

Capricorn, your energy is all over the map, so it may be best to schedule any major meetings or presentations for another time when you are more up to the task.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Planning and project management seemingly takes over your life, Leo. Just when you think there is no time for fun, an exciting opportunity falls in your lap.

Scorpio, cater your plan and speech to the audience receiving it. You can gain more support if your message is well-received. Figure out new ways to communicate.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Virgo, your creative muse has come calling and you can’t resist her siren’s song. Dabble in any artistic or craftsy project you can get your hands on in the next few days.

You do not have an argumentative nature, Sagittarius.

So when you’re bothered, it is probably for a good reason. Don’t come out ready for a fight; instead, focus on mediating.

Taurus, honesty may be the best policy, but you may have to temper how much information you reveal at one time. Be a little stingy around sensitive people.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, this week may be off to a bumpy start, but you are perfectly capable of turning things around in a hurry. Just don’t race too far ahead without a plan.

Aquarius, it may seem like you’re feeling extreme highs or lows. Soon things will settle down. Enjoy some well-deserved escapism for the time being.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 This week you will have the ideal blend of patience and passion, which has people lining up to be on your team, Pisces.

There are many reasons that may prompt you to make a career change, regardless of your age or occupation.

If you’re no longer happy in your current job, or if you simply feel the need to try something new, just know that it’s never too late to take that first step in a new direction. Here are a few tips to help you take the plunge.

First off, it’s crucial that you take some time to think about your personal and professional values. Make sure to define short-, medium- and long-term goals as well: this will help you clarify your expectations and define exactly what you hope to get out of your future career.

After you’ve put things into perspective, you’ll be able to determine whether you’d prefer to stay in the same line of work or make a more radical change, by going back to school, for example.

Finally, if you’re even the slightest bit worried about the prospect of job hunting, remember: in addition to having a leg up on both maturity and experience, you’re also well aware of your strengths and weaknesses.

And by now you know what truly motivates you!

Three tips for preventing heatstroke this summer

Did you know that the feeling of thirst subsides with age? It’s true! As we get older, we feel less thirsty. That’s why the elderly are at greater risk of developing ailments such as dehydration and heatstroke. Here are three tips to help prevent discomfort this summer.

1. Drink lots of water Heatstroke happens when you neglect to keep yourself hydrated in a hot environment.

Therefore, it’s essential to drink regularly and eat lots fruits and veggies with a high water content Tip: al­ways bring a reusable water bottle wherever you go.

2. Stay cool Turn your fans on and program your air conditioning system to maintain a comfortable room tem­perature. Keep your blinds and curtains closed during the day to prevent the sun’s rays from heating up your home. When need be, find shelter in an air-conditioned area such as a grocery store, restaurant or pharmacy to keep your body temperature in check.

2. Prefer a simple user interface Not entirely comfortable with computers and the like? Choose a tablet that runs on a simple operating system featuring familiar icons and a straightforward layout. Don’t hesitate to try out several different models in store to find the one you like best.

3. Think functionality Make sure that the tablet you settle on is up-to-date with the latest technologies and has all the capabilities that you’re looking for. If you wish to be able to contact your loved ones via email or video chat, play games, or take photos, for example, choose a device that will allow you to do so with ease.

1. Choose a large enough display Pick a full-sized tablet with at least a 25-centimetre (10-inch) display, especially if you have trouble seeing. A larger touchscreen is also more user-friendly and comfortable to use.

Finally, think ahead by making sure the brand of tablet you choose offers a solid technical support service. Happy shopping!

Pickleball: the perfect sport for people aged 50+ A playing field similar to that of badminton; a net and moves reminiscent of ping pong; a sturdy racquet like the ones used for ping pong, but bigger; and a lightweight plastic ball — pickleball has every feature necessary to allow people aged 50 years and older to stay active without straining their muscles and joints.

In fact, the smaller court size and slower moving ball make the sport, which is played in singles or

pairs, a sort of “softer” version of tennis.

Less intense than other racquet sports, pickleball is therefore less demanding on the body. But that doesn’t mean there’s no effort involved! Playing pickleball on a regular basis will allow you to reap the physical and psychological benefits linked to physical activity. What’s more, you can take advantage of a friendly game (or tournament, if you’re up for the challenge) to socialize and have fun.

So, feel like giving it a go?

Four types of games to boost your memory

Senior Living at It’s Best!

Did you know?

NK (natural killer) cells that attack harmful bacteria as well as infected and cancerous cells are more prevalent in music lovers. Music therefore helps boost our immune system!

Help us let the sunshine in at the Country Street Centre!

Memories fade, and even more so as we get older.

Fortunately, it’s possible to keep your brain sharp well into your golden years — and to have fun while you’re at it! Here are four suggestions for stimulating games that can help preserve your memory.

1. Association games Remember those matching games, where you’d have to find pairs among a deck of cards placed face down on a table? They aren’t just for kids! You can find all sorts of versions made for adults, with inspiring themes such as travel and nature.

2. Observation games Look at an image for one minute, then ask someone to quiz you on what you saw. Spot the difference puzzles like the ones often found in newspapers are also good for your memory.

3. Word games Either played alone or against an opponent, crossword puzzles, Scrabble, Boggle and other word-based games are good for stimulating your memory.

4. Strategy games Most strategy-based games require that players remember their previous move or the previous move of their opponent. Card and tabletop games such as Battleship and Risk are great exercise for your brain.

There are all kinds of activities that can help preserve and strengthen your memory. Have fun!

Student's heritage project nets him top honours in Perth LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com The Perth Regional Heritage Fair is a chance for students to showcase in-depth historical projects about something that interests them.

For this year's grand champion, Fisher Horn, a Grade 7 student from Perth and District Collegiate Institute, chose Indigenous marathon runner, Tom Longboat. For this project, Fisher won the Ontario Power Generation Best of Fair Award.

Fisher dove into his project and for three weeks, accumulating a great deal of information on this Brantford, Ont., native. He Googled, he researched, he called relatives of Longboat himself. He created a multimedia presentation that impressed the judges, according to the heritage fair representative, David Poole, assistant co-ordinator.

"Three judges gave Fisher's project the highest marks overall," Poole said on Thursday, June 20, when he joined other heritage fair members at the Perth and District Union Public Library to meet with Fisher and his mother, Tristyn Kaitt, for a newspaper interview.

"It was really cool," Fisher said of winning the regional fair, after being one of the top students at his school. The regional fair boasted 90 of the top heritage projects from several local schools.

From there, the top award winners across the province gathered

in Ottawa for a celebration of the winners, noted Barbara St. Arnaud, also a part of the heritage fair group. The Ottawa show was a chance to chat with other winners from their respective regions.

Fisher met Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson. "I was surprised (to win the regional fair) and excited I got to go to (Ottawa)," he said.

The 13-year-old is a member of his high school cross country and track teams (high jump), but admits that soccer (midfielder/striker) is his favourite sport. In the winter he plays hockey. He also takes part in the Kilt Run each year, going the five-mile distance in 28 minutes.

But what is his favourite subject?

"I like them all," he said. "Besides gym though, I like science and media."

Fisher also likes public speaking and said that helped him with his project; knowing the materials inside out and not having to read anything from a cue card got him some top marks.

His heritage fair project told the story of Cogwagee, Longboat's Iroquois name, meaning 'Everything.'

"That's why I named my project, 'A Man Named Everything,'" Fisher explained.

Fisher is also Indigenous, whose Mohawk name, Rahiokawi: nes means man who fishes.

Part of his project was creating a stop-motion animation video which told Longboat's story.

Fisher Horn's heritage project earned him top honours in the Perth Reginal Heritage Fair this year.

"That took a lot of time," Fisher said. "I think I took about 1,000 photos and put it together on my iPad." Fisher told the story of Longboat, and how he contacted descendants of the Brantford man and was able to obtain copies of his military records.

"He was a message carrier in the First World War, and was a professional marathon runner," Fisher said. "My grandmother, Margaret Horn, does documentaries and she directed me to one of (Longboat's) relatives."

Fisher also contacted Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation Indian Reserve near Brantford.

Through his research Fisher learned that Longboat, born June 4, 1887, was an Onondaga distance runner and for much of his career, was the best long-distance runner

of the time.

"He had a training routine where he ran long distances, then walked, then rested," Fisher explained.

Longboat's ways of training were frowned upon in those days, but they are how marathon runners train today.

In 1951 the Tom Longboat Awards were instituted by Jan Eisenhardt. This program, administered since 1999 by the Aboriginal Sport Circle, honours outstanding First Nations athletes and sportsmen in each province each year.

There is a national male and female winner selected from the provincial winners. He is also a member of the Olympic Hall of Fame and the Sports Hall of Fame.

"He went to a residential school, but ran away from it," Fisher said.

Longboat died in 1949 at age 62.

Perth textile artist earns first major award in inaugural show

Perth area textile artist, Bridget O'Flaherty has won a top prize for her art quilt Precious Moments.

The Machine Quilters Exhibition (MQX) Quilt Festival held a juried competition located in Manchester, New Hampshire, in April this year.

A well-deserved win and a proud moment for our art community.

There were over 500 international finalists in the prestigious show and O'Flaherty's quilt was awarded Best Use of Thread with cash and an appropriately sponsored prize from Aurifil Threads.

This is the first International quilt show that O'Flaherty has entered. Her quilt is a representation of local

Crotch Lake that she and her family visit annually for a camping weekend. It was created using natural indigo dyed cotton, 40 spools of thread, a sewing machine and a lot of patience!

O'Flaherty began creating quilt art over 25 years ago and is well remembered in the community for the Quilts of Canada series that was displayed at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in 2000.

Her detailed stitchings create a painterly impression of landscapes and nature. Her current works are exploring using locally produced, natural materials from her neighbours who raise sheep. She collects the fleece and creates a felted material she can use with

her Canadian nature themed art. She uses a sewing machine as her pencil and stitches delicate details like pine needles, flowers, birds and animals.

You can take classes with Bridget at her Brooke Valley Studio and her work is showcased online on her website.

This fall she is participating in local shows; the Perth Autumn Studio Tour and the Almonte Fibrefest.

You can also meet the artist and see her work up close this summer. She will be a featured as the artist in residence in the upcoming Quilts on the Tay, The Lanark County Quilters Guild's biennial quilt show that takes place July 13,14 and 15 at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com The longest day of the year was offset by the coolest of treats, and the start of a summer music series.

Two great events were held in tandem at Market Square on the evening of Thursday, June

21. The first event, a strawberry social consisting of strawberries, ice cream, lemonade and cake, was held by the Rotary Club of Perth, to raise money for Rotary community initiatives.

The strawberries preceded the first concert of the Perth Citizens' Band's Summer Pops

Series, held in the gazebo, with many attendees setting up their lawn chairs under the shady maple trees of Stewart Park.

The series will see concerts held at 7:30 p.m. every other Thursday during the summer.

The next concert will be held at the Market Square gazebo on July 5, followed by concerts on

July 19 and Aug. 2, with the final performance on Aug. 16.

Peter's Restaurant nearby was able to store all of the ice cream and strawberries.

"Without them, I suspect we would have been serving milk shakes!" wrote Rotary Club president Frank Larabie in an email on June 21.

Group disputes 'two-dose' solution for dealing with disease DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com A Lyme disease advocacy group is criticizing what it calls the "one-dose solution," to fighting the disease in local hospitals.

"Every day I get a different story from someone in Lanark (County) as to when they go into the hospital," said Myrna Lee. "Triage is not consistent."

She charged that people like her are getting a lot of conflicting information and most of it coming from reputable sources, at that.

But, from what she is hearing anecdotally, in emergency rooms in Perth and Smiths Falls, "it's going crazy in there now," she said during the Lanark Fights Lyme meeting in the library of St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Tuesday, June 12.

The current practice, she said, is supposed to be that a patient who may have Lyme disease is given two

100 ml pills of Doxycycline.

After taking that dosage, she said, the belief is that "then you won't get Lyme disease," an assertion she called "ridiculous."

She also said that her group has heard that if you have had a tick attached to you for less than 72 hours, "they won't even look at you.

There are so many things that go wrong with this algorithm."

At this, Eric Scheuneman, who has conducted research into Lyme disease, and was himself afflicted with Lyme, wondered "how do you determine that a tick has been attached for 72 hours?"

Lee also pointed out that there can be an incubation period of between 30 and 33 days for the bacteria that causes Lyme to do its damage - something that flies under the radar of the two pills.

Another frustration for Lee and other Lyme sufferers is that some doctors con-

tinue to believe that only evidence of a "bull's eye" mark on the skin means that someone has Lyme disease.

"If you have (a) bull's eye rash, you have Lyme disease," said Lee. But, even if you do not have a bull's eye rash, you may still have it.

While the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit no longer tests ticks, Lee said, "I would insist that they (emergency rooms) test" for any ticks that are brought in.

There are labs where one can also get a tick tested on their own dime - including the Lloyd Lab, which conducts Lyme disease research at Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B. "There are no easy choices to make," said Lee. "We are shooting in the dark here," she said, adding that the "Canadian test is no good" in her opinion.

Hospital triage Some patients do indeed receive two pills of Doxycy-

cline, but not everyone receives these pills, due to different criteria.

"This is what is recommended," Cindy McLennan, patient care manager for the emergency room and intensive care units at Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, said during a telephone interview Tuesday (June 19). She said the protocol is "based on evidence," and a course of action is determined using several criteria, including whether the tick was attached for more or less than 72 hours, whether the patient is under or over the age of eight, if the patient is pregnant, their current health, etc.

Another important question is whether the patient was bit by a blacklegged tick, which can make a difference.

"Nothing is ever the same," said McLennan.

"There are so many variables ... Medicine and nursing is based on evidence."

Her staff is trained to

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

Myrna Lee, founder of Lanark Fights Lyme, speaks in the library of St. John Catholic High School in Perth on June 12. look for Lyme warning signs, and "if we do have someone who (has) Lyme," a blood sample is taken and sent to public health for testing. The tests are then returned to whichever emergency room agent (say, a doctor) handled the patient's visit, who then transfers the results back to the patient's primary care provider.

"We do make sure that we circle back with them," she said. "We don't test the

ticks and we don't forward them to public health," she added. "They (patients) should follow up with their primary care provider."

While hospital staff still need to know if a tick was engorged, if the tick has been properly removed, McLennan advises: "Kill the little monster and dispense of it."

She has noticed an increase in ticks in the area in her hospitals over the past year.

"Perth is a high tick area, more so than Smiths Falls," said McLennan. There have been 214 patients who have presented themselves at the Perth hospital with tick bites, whereas only 106 have presented themselves at the Smiths Falls campus.

"Ticks were much more prevalent in Perth last year," she said, with 2017 being "cold and wet," ideal conditions for ticks. She said she felt for patients who are concerned about possibly getting Lyme disease.

Ketogenic retreat comes to Perth in September

LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Perth will be home to a new type of retreat for those looking for an alternative way to get healthy.

Wendy Moore, a North Grenville area singer/ songwriter chose Perth for her Ketogenic Nutrition Retreat Sept. 14 to 16, because "it is a lovely central town and easy to get to for people to come to especially from Toronto or Ottawa where a lot of people who follow the guest speakers are based," she said.

"Fans of the guest speakers are also flying in from Boston, Minnesota, Edmonton and Halifax.

Some are driving from Montreal and from Western Ontario to attend," she said.

The guest speakers include: Dr. Doug (and Tiia) Bishop, Ottawa. Topics of discussion will include: barriers to following a ketogenic lifestyle (stress/

sleep/activity); how to eat ketogenic for different forms of exercise, and the importance of keeping a healthy microbiome.

Guests will also hear from Megan Ramos of Toronto about why fasting works, protocols for metabolic syndrome, and common fasting concerns.

And finally, Amy Berger of Virginia, will speak about keeping keto simple and the Alzheimer's antidote - a keto approach.

Moore said she wanted this retreat to be a small grassroots type event where people can meet like-minded people, and learn something new, in a friendly environment and to be able to mingle and get a chance to talk personally with the guest speakers.

The maximum registration for the retreat weekend is 100 people which is what the cosy theatre, The Full Circle Theatre, will hold. There are 75 registrants so far.

"I am fully active in swimming, cycling, yoga and strength training. I have now been told that I can start up running again and I'm thrilled."

OPINION

Stephanie Gray writes about her search for an extra oogie or two A kabillion years ago, when I was probably about 17, my bestie and I used to make things up.

Not in a bad way, but a quirky one. We had a secret language. We used meaningful symbols to communicate (some might call them emoticons now). We had alternate names that we sometimes used at our part-time gigs at Burger King to protect ourselves from occasional weirdos and jerks. (Ah, customer service. It definitely teaches you a lot about life, including how to report weirdos to the police - using your real name.)

Bestie and I were pretty studious back then. We're still kind of studious sometimes, but we use the Interwebs more now because it actually exists.

We had a lot going on.

We were doing the straight-A thing, we had part-time jobs, we were in clubs at school and our social lives involved a lot of time talking to each other and to other people on the phone, which was very irritating to our parents until call waiting was invented.

At some point during our very busy high school lives - or it might have been our early university lives it became evident there simply were not enough

STEPHANIE GRAY Column hours in the day to do all of the things.

We're imaginative, of course, so one of us came up with the "oogie hour" (its etymology comes from that secret language). This was an imaginary hour that could be used in a day for the stuff you needed to get to but ran out of time to do.

It was sure nice to think about, but that imaginary hour didn't really ever materialize, unless you count the hours of sleep lost finishing the things that didn't get done - such as essays or parties or whatever shiny squirrel we had going on.

I got thinking about the oogie hour recently after a karate class. It hadn't gone very well. (No, I didn't injure myself.) I just could not, no matter how much I watched and listened and tried, get my arms and hands and hips and feet to coordinate to do the technique we were practising, and to do it with power at the same time. "How can you be almost three years into this and STILL not be able to punch properly?" my little inner angry voice chastised.

I give myself all sorts of excuses. I started karate

late. My brain is old. I've always been klutzy. I'm not prone to bar fights, which means punching isn't second nature.

Whatever.

For some reason, it really got to me that day. And I know one thing that is really missing (aside from knees that work well, a better memory, decent coordination, balance and some skill) is practice.

Even if I could get to all three classes every week (life/work intervenes), I think I might still struggle with retaining all the skills. That's where practice (muscle memory) comes in.

Sometimes, when my imagination gets busy, I picture myself getting up even earlier and doing kata and practising the bunkai.

I imagine going to the gym and building my strength. I see myself getting some focus mitts so that I can work on not punching like a dork. (I don't actually see myself doing a lot of reallife punching, but on the mats would be good.)

Karate makes me happy and I want to do it well.

That's why an oogie hour (or week or month or year) would be really helpful. I should probably use it to vacuum the house or do myriad other chores, but punching inanimate things that are fairly soft would be a lot more fun.

Take time in your life to rest, refresh and renew

It's important to take a timeout for yourself, writes Rev. Ken Davis We are finally entering into the encouraging spring and the inviting summer we hoped for after what seemed like a long winter.

In the teaching of our Christian tradition and other faith communities the command to take Sabbath time on at least one day a week has long been foundational.

We were reminded in many area churches why Sabbath or sacred rest time was commend ed to

REV KEN DAVIS Column us in the first place.

Jesus said the "Sabbath was made for humankind, not humankind for the Sabbath."

The reason we take this time or faithfully set it aside is not to feel proud that we are fulfilling some rigid or religious requirement or to impress God, but it was given to us to do because God

knows we need it.

Speaking to the workaholism that a number of us suffer from a friend of mine once told me: "God took one day out of seven and rested, who are you to need any less than that?"

I have considered this good and much needed advice ever since.

I hope you are making some kind of plans for rest and refreshment in the fair weather or, perhaps as refreshing, that you are looking forward to having no plans, chores or duties during some block of time this summer. Many of us don't allow ourselves sufficient breaks or we would feel lazy or unfaithful if we were to clear a space in our calendars.

Nothing could be further

from the truth.

Whether we are retired, on the job, at school or working at home we all need time every day and longer time every week and still longer times each year to be the most faithful, conscientious, creative and "productive" people.

Doing something that gives you joy; something that makes a change in your routine, and "booking it" as one of the important commitments in your schedule may well be the wisest approach to good time management any of us ever takes.

So if you need to convince yourself of the "why" of time for recreation then answer yourself by saying: 'It will make me better and more ful-

Of course, if what we do with most of our time is not the best use of our talents; if it is neither fulfilling nor life-giving then we might need a trusted friend or pastor or counsellor to help us discern what it is we really called to be and do in our lives.

My prayer for all who read this would be that each of us would know the joy and inspiration in discovering what God most wants for each of us - including the blessing of great, regular and timely time off.

met three-course keto dinner Saturday night at the Perth Manor. The cost is $70 (tax and gratuity included).

As with any diet or exercise plan, Moore cautions prospective participants to consult with their doctor before trying the keto program. Anyone on regular medication (blood pressure, insulin, etc.), those with Type 1 diabetes, pregnant women or people with an identified eating disorder must contact their physicians before changing to a ketogenic diet.

"This is not because of any inherent danger in a ketogenic lifestyle," Moore said, "but because of very specific chang-

es that may impact on these folks."

For more information on the keto lifestyle, visit the Intensive Dietary Management website: idmprogram.com or Amy Berger's website: tuitnutrition.com if one is looking into information about keto/ living low carb/time restricted eating.

Dr. Doug Bishop's Weight Management Clinic: drbishop.ca is a resource with advice and help for not only weight loss but for those interested in experiencing great fitness results from a low carb/ keto/time restricted eating lifestyle.

amazing place too. Gordon, a superb gourmet chef, has accepted the challenge of serving a full keto three-course dinner on Saturday night for up to 53 people from the retreat who registers for this," she said.

The guest speakers will be set up at Full Circle Theatre.

People will learn about how to live a healthy nutritional lifestyle that involves eating 'real' foods and the meanings of ketogenic, low carb high fat (LCHF), and about various forms and durations of time restricted eating (fasting), Moore said.

There will be presentations about nutrition and exercise, how to maintain a healthy gut biome, and the positive effect of a LCHF diet on treating people with Alzheimer's disease.

Guest speakers' talks, their panel discussions, chats and Q-and-A sessions will provide ample opportunities to learn about these subjects.

There will also be an LCHF/keto related documentary movie (TBA) on the Saturday night.

Retreat attendees will be encouraged to learn more by reviewing the guest speakers' websites and social media posts before and after the retreat event.

MOORE'S STORY As a professional musician for 20 years, Moore was stricken with a giant blood clot in October 2014.

"I was literally brought to my knees with a massive blood clot from my ankle up through my abdomen," she said. "This clot was discovered only four hours before I was to board a flight to Ireland for a 32-show tour."

Moore discovered she had a hereditary blood clotting disorder which is manageable with medication - and a keto lifestyle.

Sharing her story and what she has learned along the way by hosting a retreat is a dream come true, she said.

"Personally, implementing these low carb/keto/fasting nutrition practices has totally bettered my life and given me maximum health results in many ways. I want to help and encourage others to experience wonderful results for themselves whether it's dealing with existing health conditions, weight loss, increasing daily energy or just being proactive with their health and overall well-being."

As a touring musician, she said living on the road can have its challenges, especially eating well, but she has learned and in the fall, she'll be a guest speaker herself at the Folk Music Ontario conference in Toronto.

Now, four years after her blood clot and diagnosis, she said she is at her ideal target body weight and her leg inflammation is gone.

"I am fully active in swimming, cycling, yoga and strength training. I have now been told that I can start up running again and I'm thrilled," she said.

"I've decided to ease up from extensive national and international music touring (my groups, the Celtic Rathskallions and Moore and McGregor) and to focus on my continued passion for living a keto/fasting lifestyle and to helping others achieve success with their goals, weight loss, and major health benefits of living a keto lifestyle."

There is a limit of 100 people who will be accepted to the keto retreat in September.

The cost is $200 per person per day, or $125 for one day. There is also a maximum of 53 people being accepted for the gour-

The day was a resounding success thanks to the support of various local businesses with donations for the tasty BBQ lunch.

"She put everything on hold to put this all together," said teacher and guidance counsellor Sharon Scattolon, seated at the same table.

Johnson was all ready to graduate in the spring of 2017, to pursue architecture, when this new opportunity presented itself.

"If anyone could do this, ace chemistry, live on her own, it's her," said Scattolon proudly. "She wants what she wants."

Others have noticed her potential. She was awarded $1,750 from the Perth chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women and $1,000 as part of the Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary Award, from the Field Naturalists. She has also received a $2,000 entrance scholarship from Carleton and $1,500 from that school for her great marks.

While it may seem a long way off, in three years, "I'm not sure what I want to do, engineering or architecture," she said. "It's a little terrifying to see the classes you have to take."

Imagine taking two of the most daunting university courses and rolling them into one.

That's the reality for St. John Catholic High School Grade 12 student Kaitlyn Johnson, who knows she can't do it on her own - and, thanks to the OPP and other organizations, she won't be doing it on her own.

Johnson, who turns 19 on June 16, was handed her plaque and a cheque for $1,000 from the Ontario Provincial Police Youth Foundation for a bursary to study architectural conservation and sustainability engineering this fall at Ottawa's Carleton University.

The five-year course costs about $14,000 a year, so, after getting accepted to Carleton last December, Johnson began applying to

different bursaries and scholarships at her student services offices.

"I've applied for everything I could possibly apply for," she said, putting out applications for more than 20 such grants.

For the OPP bursary, "I had to hunt down an OPP officer" to act as a reference for her, she recalled, during an interview in the school's atrium on Tuesday, June 12. She found one in OPP Const. Dave Bird, who works out of the Perth detachment.

Working as a waitress part-time at Maximilian's restaurant on Gore Street East, she lives alone in student housing near St. John elementary school, as both of her parents live in Ottawa, where her mother found work.

She had always had an interest in architecture and interior design.

"I really like buildings," she said. "I really like my math and sciences."

She stayed on an extra year to finish off some chemistry courses she needed for final qualifica-

Air cadets head for summer camps

Another training year has wrapped up for the air cadets of 585 Rideau Squadron.

Their final parade, known as the annual cadet review, was held on May 28.

The ACR is a chance for the cadets to show off their parade skills, for the officers to present awards to deserving cadets, and for the squadron to thank their community supporters.

This year's ACR was the best in years as the squadron now boasts a 10-piece cadet band complete with bass and snare drums, trumpets, trombones and a marching xylophone.

In the span of one year, the band has gone from an idea to a functioning band that is playing for other squadrons and Legions.

The spring schedule was busy with successful glider flying, small aircraft familiarization, field exercises, a "summer biathlon" race and a field trip to

Kingston. The cadets have earned their summer break.

Some cadets, however, are heading off to summer camps at training bases throughout Ontario. Cadet Nora Bright will be a staff cadet in Trenton. Cadets Sebastien Friedrich-Yap, Ethan Harper, Tariq Merhi, Josh Piche, Dravyn Porter and Tomas Stringel are also headed to Trenton to attend general training.

Four cadets - Cameron Bernique, Logan Dillabough, Tavo Stringel and Alex MacLennan - are attending the fitness course in Borden.

Another three cadets Anthony Bencic, Ryan Frank and Jesse SimpsonThroop - will be taking the survival course in Borden.

Cadets Chris Gibson and Kohle Harriss are taking aviation-related courses in Trenton.

Cadet Joey McClelland will attend the air rifle

marksmanship instructor course at Connaught Ranges in Kanata.

The crown jewel of the summer courses is, of course, the Power Flight Scholarship. If all goes well, cadet Don Weatherall will graduate in August with his private pilot's licence.

The squadron officers, a group of highly dedicated adults who organize, train and guide the cadet activities, are grateful for the tremendous community support received this year.

The Smiths Falls Legion provided financial support to the squadron to help offset a lost fundraising opportunity in the fall and to purchase some of the band instruments.

The Perth-upon-Tay Legion was also very generous in its support of the air cadet squadron this year.

In April, many shoppers would have noticed air cadets standing outside of

NOT ENOUGH HOMES FOR CATS AND DOGS

This cat should have been spayed.

Spaying/Neutering prevents the births of cats and dogs for whom no homes can be found. In Canada, tens of thousands of cats and dogs are put to death annually in pounds and shelters because there are not enough homes for them. And how many more die on the streets from sickness, injury and starvation? insideottawavalley.com

This activity, known as tagging, is the major fundraising event for the air cadet squadron. This year's "tag day" fell on the first perfect spring day after a long, cold winter.

Shoppers were obviously in a giving mood as the

cadets raised an impressive $6,600 in Smiths Falls and Perth. Thank you to all those who donated.

After summer courses are complete, cadets will begin meeting at the squadron again in early September to begin the next training year.

If your son or daughter

is interested in the amazing opportunities that the air cadet program offers, drop in to the squadron on Wednesday evenings beginning on Sept. 5. 585 Rideau Squadron is located at 44 Abbott St. in Smiths Falls.

Air cadets meet every Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 9:15 p.m. Optional activities are held on Friday evenings and some weekends.

There is no cost to join or participate. For more information about Air Cadets and 585 Rideau Squadron, please visit the website at www.585aircadets.org or just Google 585 Squadron.

Loving father Anthony (Janet), Susan (Ken Fry) and grandfather of Sarah Ruttan (Derek) Amanda Humphrey (Josh) & Emily Adams (Anthony). Great grandfather of Chloe, Darcy, Peyton, Shayne, Dexter & Oliver. Born in London, England Len started working in the foundry in the mid thirties where he was retained in essential services throughout the second World War. During the dark days of the early forties he would be in the foundry 24 hrs a day, leaving sometimes at night during the raids to extinguish fire bombs and engage in rescue operations. In July of 1941 he married his sweetheart, Queenie Langridge who at the time was a munitions worker. Len made the momentous decision to immigrate to Canada in 1957 bringing his wife and two young children, his sister in-law and mother in- law. Originally settling in Ottawa to work in Bonds Foundry in Eastview Len practiced his knowledge of metallurgy to cast among other things the Coat of Arms for Ottawa which still adorns The Ottawa City Hall. In 1958 he was offered a position as Superintendent of the Alloy Foundry in Merrickville making that town his home for the next fifty years. In the nineteen sixties he was offered a position in Pennsylvania which he turned down instead moving from the Iron foundry to the expanding Grenville Casting, a magnesium and aluminum foundry so as to stay in Merrickville. In his early sixties Len left the foundries to become part owner of Rogers Plating which he retired from when nearly seventy. Len spent his retirement years doing community service in Merrickville with the Lions club which he had been a member of since 1964. Len still continued doing pattern making for the Alloy Foundry until he reached the age of eighty four. After losing Queenie in 2009 and following some health issues Len moved from Merrickville to Willowdale Retirement Home where he spent his remaining years. Family and friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home 112 Beckwith St., Smiths Falls on Wednesday, June 27, 2018 from 2:00 - 4:00 and 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Funeral service will be held Thursday, June 28, 2018 at 11:00 in the Blair & Son Chapel. Interment will take place at Merrickville Union Cemetery on Friday at 10:00 a.m. In memory of Len donations to the Merrickville Lion’s Club or Lion’s Foundation of Canada Dog Guides would be appreciated.

NORWOOD - In loving memory of Walter who passed away June 28, 2015.

When God was making husbands As far as I can see, He made a special soulmate Especially for me.

We loved the sunshine in his smile, And the kindness in his heart, But God saw that he was tired, Which meant we had to part.

Your weary hours and days of pain, Your troubled nights are passed, And in our aching hearts we know, You have found sweet rest at last.

Dearly loved and sadly missed Dorothy Quentin, Julie and family Wade, Lynn and family

David Brown July 4, 2016 In loving memory of Dave Brown.

In life there are times which are more than “simply unfair”.

And as our hearts search for answers, we are unable to find them.

Such is the case at your passing as we review the briefness of your life, And marvel at the things that you have undertaken.

Imagine if you have been granted a little more time.

It isn’t difficult to envision the great things that you would have done.

For look at what you have already accomplished.

It’s so hard to let you go as you are forever in our hearts.

Your memory is as dear today as in the hour you passed away.

Loved and so missed Mom, Dad, Cath, Steve, Taylor, Bryson & Josh
