Desmond Devoy/Metroland

As antiques dealer, farmer, and Montague Township Reeve Bill Dobson looks on from the right, Wayne Craig looks over one of Dobson's pieces with a discerning eye during the annual Perth Antiques Show and Sale on Saturday, July 7.

Something old turns to gold at Perth antique show DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Alchemy works, in way, at the annual Perth Antiques Show and Sale.

Taking something old and turning it into gold takes some skill, one that attracts some colourful characters, and not just on the selling end, to the Perth Civ-

itan Club on Saturday, July 7 and 8.

Montague Township Reeve Bill Dobson was excited about a pair of paintings of boats plying the waters of the Rideau Canal, one possibly near the Poonamalie locks), which were painted, likely, in 1978 by a man who lived on the road he now lives on.

Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston

MP Scott Reid dropped by Dobson's table, with his wife Robyn, to inquire about an antique quilt he was looking for one of his constituency offices.

Nearby, a name familiar to long-time readers of the Ottawa Sun, former Ottawa City Hall bureau chief Derek Puddicombe, had an extensive collection ranging from old photograph albums

to U.S. political buttons to saws, though he was particularly intrigued by a fox grooming machine that Dobson had on sale.

The event included an indoor, section at the club, where vases and jewellery were sold, while outside, everything from old wooden skis to an old Quebec Nordiques NHL jersey were on sale.

County sees reduction in noxious weed spray

Lanark County is seeing results and a reduction in herbicide use as part of its long-term efforts to control noxious weeds, such as wild parsnip, through its integrated vegetation management plan.

Due to wild parsnip's rapid expansion along the county road system, the county has chosen to actively control the phototoxic weed that causes blisters and

burns.

"Controlling wild parsnip maintains the safety of anyone who must enter the roadside, including motorists involved in an accident, road workers, emergency/first responders, volunteers removing litter, and the public," explained Lanark County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves. "From an agricultural perspective, infested pastures

Carroll Cartage Ltd. intends to utilize Wagar & Corput Weed Control Inc. to control weeds along Guardrails, Posts and Roadside along the following Provincial Highways.

List of Highways to be sprayed are as follows: Provincial Highway 7 & 15. Provincial Highway 7 will be sprayed from Carleton Place to Perth. The Provincial Highway 15 will be sprayed from Carleton Place to Smiths Falls and old Highway 17.

The contractor will be using: Credit Xtreme Herbicide (PCP #29888) active ingredients Glysophate (present as isopropylamine and potassium salt), Arsenal Powerline Herbicide (PCP #30203) active ingredients imazapyr (present as the isopropylamine salt), Clearview Herbicide (PCP #29752) active ingredients Metsulfureon-methyl and Aminopyralid (present as potassium salt), and Gateway Adjuvant (PCP #31470) active ingredient Paraffinic Oil and Alkoxylated alcohol non-ionic surfactants under the Pest Control Product Act (Canada).

pose a health risk to livestock, as the chemicals in wild parsnip cause weight loss and infertility issues. Infested hay cannot be sold as fodder for livestock and infested crops are not salable as food-grade quality or as seed."

Controlling invasive roadside vegetation also has environmental benefits, including stopping the spread of invasive species, protecting conservation areas, reducing damage on adjacent agriculture and re-establishing native pollinator habitat.

Prior to the roadside spraying program, the county attempted to mechanically control wild parsnip by tailoring mowing practices to reduce seed production. However, mowing was not an effective control, as it removes all vegetation, weakens competing plants and does not eradicate the wild parsnip roots and seeds.

"Peer-reviewed papers on the biology of wild parsnip indicate the ideal mowing time is very narrow and dependent on individual growing conditions, making mowing as a control measure difficult," explains Michelle Vala, Lanark County vegetation management intern. "This prompted

the county to develop an integrated vegetation management (IVM) plan and use a multifaceted approach to managing the wild parsnip."

Lanark County engaged two highly qualified experts at Cain Vegetation Inc. Integrated Pest Management Services to develop an IVM plan, which is successfully guiding the county not only with wild parsnip, but with the control of other noxious and invasive plants. Modifications are continually made to the IVM plan as the county becomes aware of improvements. The IVM plan outlines the best approach to manage the wild parsnip based on the level and extent of infestation. Heavy infestations throughout the county and a lack of success from mowing resulted in the county opting to use a selective herbicide to reduce the infestation.

In 2016, the roadside spraying program began with a broad application technique of herbicide to reduce the infestation. In 2017, a spot-spraying method was used that required a licensed applicator to walk the road allowance and spray individual wild parsnip

plants. The county treated more roads in 2017 than 2016, but spot spraying still reduced the amount of herbicide used by 55 per cent.

In 2018, the county increased the amount of roads spot sprayed even more, reducing the amount of herbicide used from 2016 to 2018 by 70 per cent. "We plan to continue the trend of decreasing herbicide application as the number of roads requiring herbicide treatment decreases," Vala explains.

Meanwhile, manual control measures have been increasing as the wild parsnip infestation levels return to a manageable level. Roads with sparse wild parsnip plants are dug up by hand and many patches are cut or mowed instead of sprayed.

"Lanark County is committed to eliminating herbicide usage as the infestations become manageable by using manual control measures, such as digging, cutting and mowing. This is outlined in the IVM plan," Vala says.

If you would like more information about Lanark County's IVM plan, please visit the county's website at http://www.lanarkcounty.ca/Page1875.aspx or call 613-267-1353.

County council approves OVRT agreement Lanark County council has approved bylaws authorizing two agreements related to leasing portions of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail: One with the Canadian Co-Operative Wool Growers Ltd. in Carleton Place and the other with the Town of Carleton Place.

With the purchase of the former CP Rail lands that now form the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT), the county is a co-

owner (with Renfrew County and Papineau-Cameron Township).

The town wishes to lease part of the property to construct a park that is compatible with the proposed use of the OVRT, which includes a portion of lands already leased by the CCWG. The new lease with the CCWG will eventually serve to clearly identify the lands to be leased, and establish terms and conditions during construction of the

park being developed by the town as part of the trail.

The agreement with the town similarly identifies the lands and conditions around its development, including provisions for activities to take place, such as commercial and festivals/ events.

County approves forest plan

Lanark Council approved the Community Forest FiveYear Operating Plan for 20182022, which is a working document that is part of the 20year forest management plan approved by council in 2011 after a public review process.

The most recent operating plan expired in 2017, and during the past year the county's forest management advisers collaborated with the Community Forest Working Group to develop the new plan.

The Lanark County Community Forest consists of 40 properties comprising almost 4,600 hectares throughout the county. The properties were purchased by the county between 1938 and 1987 and are made up of tracts of natural forest, treed plantations in former farmland, and lakes and wetlands.

The new operating plan describes activities carried out by the forest manager, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, from 20132017 and provides a detailed schedule for the current pe-

riod. To ensure long-term forest and financial sustainability, there is a 20-year forecast of thinning and harvesting activities (to 2037), which is reviewed and extended a further five years with each new operating plan.

The plan is key to ensuring forestry and property administration activities are carried out in an organized fashion. For more information, contact Jonathan Allen, Facilities Coordinator, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 3170.

Speed limit reduction adopted for Lally Road Council has approved a bylaw authorizing the reduction of the speed limit on County Road 21 for the entire portion known as Lally Road from 60 kilometres per hour to 50. The portion runs from County Road 14 (Narrows Lock Road) to Lally Lake Drive, part of which is through Murphys Point Provincial Park.

This follows discussion with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), Species at Risk (SAR) Division, regarding

the rehabilitation project currently taking place on the road. To obtain necessary permits for the project, county staff participated in SAR training, conducted an inventory of identified SAR, and committed to putting measures in place to reduce their mortality.

The speed limit reduction is one of the measures, as well as installing three seasonal speed bumps from April 1 to Nov. 1 each year and posting a cautionary message on the Municipal 511 website advising motorists this section of road is not suitable for camping trailers due to its narrow, winding nature.

The message has been posted and the speed bumps will consist of rubber mats affixed by spikes that will be removed prior to winter maintenance activities.

Some of the identified species at risk include Gray rat snakes and Blanding's turtles. The speed reduction will take place as soon as necessary signs are installed.

Little Stream Bakery opens dedicated gluten free facility, introduces new products

Check doors for proper insulation. Place your hand against a door from the inside. If it feels cooler than the inside walls, it might be time to install a door that’s better insulated.

Graham Beck opened Tay Valley Township's Little Stream Bakery in 1993, crafting certified organic sourdough using a traditional European fermentation method.

The bakery has grown in popularity not only for the distinct, complex flavour of their bread, but because they offer a number of gluten free products. In fact, Little Stream makes the only gluten free bread on the market, which is certified organic, made with whole grains, and uses a complete sourdough process for optimum bioavailability, digestion, and flavour.

As anybody with gluten intolerance knows, careful protocols are necessary in the manufacture of gluten free foods to eliminate allergens. For many years, Little Stream followed strict guidelines to separate their gluten and gluten free processes within the same fa-

cility to protect the health of their customers. In the autumn of 2017, the bakery expanded its operation, including establishing an entirely separate facility for their gluten free production.

In addition to the new dedicated gluten free bakery, Little Stream is introducing some new innovations in their products themselves. The gluten free loaves are shorter in length, but taller in height.

This change not only makes each slice a better shape to fit in your toaster, but it also improves the flavour of the hearty gluten free bread for your open face sandwiches. Little Stream has also developed a brand new moist, sustaining, flavourful grain-free protein loaf. Each loaf has seven grams of highly digestible protein, and just 19 grams of net carbohydrates per slice.

The new bread is primarily made of buckwheat from a local organic grower in Quebec, and also includes 10 per cent hemp hearts, 27 per cent sprouted chickpea flour, and nine per cent flax meal.

With 25 years in the baking business, Beck and the rest of the Little Stream crew continue to keep serving up fresh and delicious

loaves for all their customers, no matter their dietary restrictions.

Little Stream products can be found locally at Kudrinko's in Westport, The Garden Market in Smiths Falls, Foodsmiths in Perth, The Granary in Carleton Place, and Dandelion Natural Foods in Almonte.

Lanark County council supported a motion June 27 by the United Counties of Prescott Russell regarding municipalities that fail to pay for cross-border ambulance calls.

The motion calls for the City of Ottawa to enter into good-faith negotiations on crossborder ambulance compensation with neighbouring paramedic services, and for the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to amend the Ambulance Act to require a cross-border ambulance compensation agreement.

PRESENTS

The motion is being circulated to Ottawa, neighbouring municipalities and the ministry.

The move comes as municipalities adjacent to Ottawa are facing increased provincial dispatch calls for ambulances to service needs in Ottawa, which increases strain on services to meet their own local response times and also has financial consequences.

Lanark Lodge funding highlighted at county council To prepare for the 2019 budget, Lanark County councillors received an update at the community services committee meeting earlier this month from treasurer Jennie Bingley about recent funding announcements for Lanark Lodge, the county's longterm care home.

Despite funding that results in an increase in direct care hours and a falls prevention initiative, as well as a pending application for Late Career Initiative Funding, there are two main issues that continue to put

pressure on the budget: the lack of provincial funding to cover existing staffing levels and to address the need to increase direct care staff hours to properly care for residents due to rising acuity (intensity of nursing care needed).

Bingley explained there are no minimum provincially mandated staff-toresident ratios with respect to direct care staffing, and levels have been largely unchanged for at least 10 years while acuity has steadily increased.

The increasing wor-

kload has negative effects on staffing, and retention is also an issue within the highly-competitive field.

Bingley predicted the levy to taxpayers will continue to grow at a higher rate than past years to cover provincial subsidy shortfalls for staffing.

"Management has done an excellent job to find costs savings to offset cost-of-living increases to wages and benefits," she said, adding it is unlikely this trend will be sustainable, and the result will be increased costs to taxpayers.

It may be sweltering outside, but it's Getting To Room Temperature at Full Circle Theatre when Robert Bockstael comes to town for three performances of playwright Arthur Milner's evocative oneman play, July 21 and 22.

Getting To Room Temperature is a 75-minute show that looks, quite frankly, at death, but does so in a way that has drawn rave reviews and comments like: "Generous, timely, intelligent, funny, heartfelt, and always engaging."

"Such an important topic. Robert Bockstael was brilliant."

"Timely, tough and sweet one-man show. (Robert Bockstael) is a treasure."

The play was inspired by the passing of Arthur Milner's mother, who asked her doctor "Can you help me to die?" The answer was "No. And, don't ask me again." Milner, with the quirky eye of an artist, immediately thought: "I can write something funny about that."

Getting To Room Temperature debuted at Ottawa's "undercurrents" festival in 2016, where it became the biggest seller in the festival's history. It has been on tour around the country since then. It's two-day, three-show stay in Perth comes hard on the heels of an East Coast tour.

Milner's credits include productions of his plays in Israel and the U.K., as well as a time as artistic direc-

tor of Ottawa's Great Canadian Theatre Company (GCTC). Robert Bockstael also has GCTC roots, but is best known for appearing in numerous television and movie productions, including roles in the CBC series Wind At My Back and North of 60.

With only three performances in Perth, the show will come and go in a hurry, so those looking for an entertaining, thought-provoking, and unique experience should contact Tickets Please in Perth (613 485 6434; tickets@ticketsplease.ca). Tickets are just $25.

In August, BarnDoor Productions long history with Shakespeare, which began with their first season and includes ten summers of outdoor productions, a number of Shakespearean shows at Full Circle Theatre and even The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), comes full circle with the debut of a new script based on a century old play about the life of The Bard of Avon.

Willm Shaksper takes some of the facts we know about Shakespeare and rolls them into "speculative history", a fictional account of some of the incidents that may have created Shakespeare, the man and how his life may have developed. It is at once funny, classical, modern, dramatic and, perhaps at the end, tragic - but it is a unique look at the man who probably had more to do with shaping the

Jeff Maguire writes about some up-close bird watching in his yard.

JEFF MAGUIRE Column I think most people have heard about the Killdeer who built a nest so close to the planned site of a music festival stage in Ottawa that experts had to be called in to safely move it. The story received worldwide attention a couple of weeks ago.

We were intrigued by the bird's nest story because it occurred at the same time as a similar situation was happening in our backyard.

Our bird story wasn't publicized - until now that is - but it captivated us, our children, grandchildren, neighbours and friends for several weeks.

Kathleen and I are bird lovers. We feed birds yearround and we observe them closely at every opportunity. Besides the usual Chickadees, Gold Finch, Blue Jays, Juncos, Nuthatches and various small song birds our feeders are also frequently visited by a pair of Cardinals. Male Cardi-

nals, with their brilliant red plumage, have to be one of the most striking members of the avian world.

We are fortunate to have many large trees in our expansive urban yard. Over the years the blue spruce in front of our home and the gorgeous red maple behind it, have been favourite places for birds to nest.

Our latest bird nest experience began innocently enough. Daughter Heather was walking around the backyard monitoring our grandchildren Lily and Max as they played outside one sunny Sunday afternoon when she found the nest. She is sharp-eyed because it was well hidden.

The nest was built quite low in the tree and on closer inspection we could see three tiny white eggs inside.

Much later, as darkness fell I went out to the tree and could clearly see mother bird perched atop her three eggs. She was hunched so low that I couldn't identify what type of bird she is. I'm an observer anyway, not an expert. I told Kathy I thought she was "some sort of wren or sparrow."

Finding the nest set off several weeks of bird watching for us. As I mentioned family members, friends and neighbours also became interested some of who emailed asking for updates.

With the help of our friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc we were eventually able to identify the birds as red-eyed Vireos.

I have read much more about Vireos now. They are one of the most common songbirds in our region and although they are always heard they are seldom seen.

They are voracious eaters of bugs which make them beneficial to man.

Our Vireo nest watch became a ritual for us, several times a day. The mother sat on the eggs virtually around the clock until, about eight days after Heather first spotted the nest, the three eggs hatched.

My concern was that the low nest might attract predators although that didn't happen. As the chicks grew they barely fit the tiny nest and my next worry was that one would be pushed out.

Sadly that did happen and I had the task of burying one of the tiny birds.

We never saw the others leave the nest but they grew to the point that we are fairly confident they did take flight.

Even though one of "our chicks" fell victim to the cruelty of nature, Kathy and I feel fortunate to have witnessed the beginning of the life cycle for two others.

Not everyone has that kind of good fortune. For bird lovers like us it was a privilege!

First time donating blood wasn’t so bad, writes Hollie Pratt Admittedly, I can be squeamish when it comes to bodily fluids. I have trouble with gory movies and cleaning up dog vomit. If one of my kids is bleeding from a laceration much deeper than a paper cut, I'm known to get light-headed and yell for my husband to come administer the Band-Aid. As a result, I always shied away from blood donation.

Perhaps because I've worked for community newspapers for most of my career and have written many stories about why donating blood is important, I've always felt a pang of guilt in the back of my mind over my own inaction on this front.

So when my colleague Laurie Weir invited me to come along with her to the July 4 blood donation clinic at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club, I thought to myself: Why not? After all, in the last six years I've given birth to two children and endured all the poking, prodding, excruciating pain and general lowering of the personal dignity bar that went along with it. I haven't had a new tattoo or piercing in the last three months. I'm an overall healthy person and, by some miracle, given that I live in a house with a two-year-old and a six-year-old, was completely virus free at that moment.

So I went online to the Canadian Blood Services website, created an account and made an appointment for the local clinic. After some simple paper work, having my iron levels checked and sign-

HOLLIE PRATT Column ing a form in which I swore that I did not have any disease, etc. that would render me unable to donate, I was seated in a surprisingly comfortable chair having a pint of blood pumped out of me.

Overall, it was a lovely experience. The blood clinic employees were extremely kind and attentive, perhaps partly due to the sticker they gave me that said "be nice to me, I'm new." At the end, they gave me a blood dropshaped pin with a "1" on it to signify my first donation, and informed me that the blood I had just given would save three lives. It was truly an amazing feeling.

If there's anyone out there like me who is able to donate but hesitant due to nervousness, take it from one who's been there: It's really not so bad. Plus, you get doughnuts after, and who can resist doughnuts?

The next blood donation clinic in Smiths Falls is on Oct. 3 at the Civitan Club.

Other area clinics coming up include: • July 12 at St. James Anglican Church in Carleton Place (in honour of Kristine Maclaren) • July 26 at Holy Spirit Parish in Carleton Place • July 30 at the Perth Civitan Club • Aug. 2 at the North Grenville municipal centre – Hollie Pratt is Metroland East’s digital editor.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Earning and keeping the public's trust Dear Editor, Recently Rideau Lakes Council voted to purchase the Gallagher House in Portland, and I voted against it because I feel council and staff did not do their due diligence.

I asked for an appraisal prior to the purchase but it was not done. I still don't know why.

After learning the deficit was kept from the majority of council for almost a year and having to hire an Ombudsman to investigate it I thought we had all learned our lesson.

When council and staff think it is a good idea to purchase a property for $103,000 more than the MPAC value, it makes me question who decided

that an appraisal was not needed. The property is valued at $262,000 and we purchased it for $365,000.

This is reckless over spending.

We just lived through a year of the public questioning how a handful of people were making decisions without all the information. This is how we lost and continue to lose the public's trust. In this upcoming election when candidates throw around words like accountability and transparency, make sure they understand what that means.

Beer was welcomed after fighting fire Dear Editor,

In 1972 I was accepted into the OWFC Fire Department. As a new recruit I was told that there was a beer fridge at the station with beer available to all.

Apparently the beer fridge has been at the fire station for as long as anyone can remember without any problems.

I did not join the fire department to drink beer.

I joined to put out fires and to save lives to serve my community - the Town of Carleton Place.

Yes we did have parties on special occasions which our wives attended as well. But if a fire call came in during one of these events we were always assessed by the chief or someone else of authority and were given instructions of who could and couldn't attend the

fire.

After fighting a fire for five or six hours a cold beer was a welcome sight to help us unwind before going home after a tragedy.

A big thanks to Mayor Louis Antonakos for sticking up for the firemen: past, present and future.

Sincerely, Wm Bruce Stewart Carleton Place

Studio Theatre announces its upcoming season of plays

Just when you thought you'd never stop humming the tunes from The Studio Theatre's megahit Sister Act, The Musical, along comes a brand new season of plays to get your heart racing.

The shows at Perth's community theatre just keep getting better. And this year, for as little as $90 you can enjoy six fantastic live stage plays - that's six great reasons to get out of the house, join friends for dinner, and have an amazing theatre experience right here in Perth.

Our 2018/2019 season begins Oct. 11, 2018. Here's what you can look forward to: Queen Milli Of Galt by Gary Kirkham. Oct. 11 - 21, 2018 In 1972, the Duke of Windsor (Edward VIII) dies in exile at the age of 78. Two weeks later, in Canada, an 80 year-old woman from a small town named Galt has her tombstone engraved, claiming to be the duke's wife. A young journalist appears at her door, eager for answers. Flashback to 1919 for an extraordinary romantic comedy about secrets and unexpected love.

The Marvelous Wonderettes - Dream On by Roger Bean. Nov. 15 - 25, 2018 Directed by C. Lee Bates, the phenomenal show The Marvelous Wonderettes blew the doors off the Studio Theatre this past year.

If you missed it, don't worry

- here's the sequel! In The Marvelous Wonderettes Dream On the girls are back at Springfield High, singing their way through the greatest hits of the 60s and 70s, the soundtrack of our lives, performed with that Marvelous Wonderettes spin!

The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble by Beth Graham. Jan. 17 - 27, 2019 Iris Trimble may very well fly off the face of the earth if she doesn't hang on to the kitchen counter. At least that's how she feels after her mother, Bernice, a lively, recently widowed fifty-nine-year-old breaks the news that she has Alzheimer's. Iris and her siblings each have their own ways of dealing with the news, while Bernice, as vivacious as ever, is ready to finally put herself first. Exceptionally well written, The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble is intense, poignant, and wonderfully nuanced.

Alone Together Again

by Lawrence Roman. Feb. 21 - March 3, 2019 In this hilarious Broadway comedy, mom and dad have spent the last 30 years raising three active sons.

They've so looked forward to the peace, the quiet and the privacy of an empty nest, and it's finally happened! Peace? Quiet? Not for long. The empty nest fills up again with the unexpected arrival of their parents, each with their

own comic problems.

Alone Together Again is clever, witty, and wise.

Hamish by Michael Grant. April 4 - 14, 2019 Hamish is a heartwarming comedy about family and love. Kelli books a trip for her overworked husband and herself to his ancestors' former homestead in the Scottish Highlands.

She is planning to announce some big news, but something even bigger is afoot as they discover a deceased ancestor has not yet quite left home. With the help of a bumbling local, this motley - and ghostly gang sets out to save the homestead from a rival clan and preserve the family name.

The Ladies Foursome by Norm Foster. May 30 - June 9, 2019 The day after their friend Catherine's funeral, Margot, Tate, and Connie gather for a round of golf in honour of their recently departed fourth. At the golf course they are joined by another woman, an old friend of Catherine's they'd never met. Over the course of eighteen holes - played in real time - secrets and confessions unravel as the women discuss love, sex, children, and everything in between. The Ladies Foursome is Norm Foster at his very best.

It's going to be an amazing year of shows! Studio Theatre season passes are on sale now at Tickets

Final week of rediscovered comic gem at Classic Theatre Festival

The Classic Theatre Festival's ninth summer season has thus far been marked by delighted audiences and pleased theatre reviewers responding to the rediscovered comic gem, John Van Druten's There's Always Juliet.

Playing at its wheelchairaccessible, air-conditioned 54 Beckwith St. E. venue, the play embodies much of what makes unique the festival's mandate to produce hits from the golden age of Broadway and the London Stage.

"We pick plays that bring back fond memories and sensations, like the feeling you get when you watch the

film It's A Wonderful Life every December with your friends and family, or you hum along to a wonderful Ella Fitzgerald song," says artistic producer and director Laurel Smith.

There's Always Juliet asks whether love at first sight truly exists. Sparks fly after a British woman meets an American man at a London tea party, but how far will things go in this charming, cross-border romantic comedy set in 1927 London, England?

There's Always Juliet features an ensemble of festival veterans including Scott Clarkson, who returns for his eighth season after a star

turn in last year's audience favourite, Same Time, Next Year; festival newcomer Victoria Houser, a Toronto actor and singer originally from Halifax; Catherine Bruce (last seen here in the award-winning Arms and the Man); and Fraser Elsdon (from the Festival's An Inspector Calls and Candida).

The play has been received warmly by audiences as well as the Capital Critics Circle, a prestigious group of veteran theatre reviewers who have praised everything from Renate Seiler's costumes and Laurel Smith's direction to the sets of Roger Schultz and the chemistry between the per-

formers on stage. Theatre critic Iris Winston writes the play is "a very pleasant evening's entertainment, akin to reading a light romantic novel on a sunny beach."

Critic Jamie Portman agrees, noting, "Houser seizes on the script's gentle wit and makes the most of it.

And she's delightful in conveying the volatile emotions of a young woman who can sometimes be as exasperating as she is lovable. Meanwhile, Clarkson makes his own sweet-natured contribution to the proceedings with his portrayal of a guy who really does believe in love at first sight."

Elizabeth Holmes We would like to congratulate Elizabeth on her recent graduation from St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. Elizabeth graduated with distinction, receiving a BA-Advanced Major in Anthropology and minor in Development Studies. On behalf of her academic department, Elizabeth was also inducted as part of her graduating classâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Circle of Young Alumni. In the fall, Elizabeth will begin her Graduate Studies at the University of Guelph within the Department of Anthropology and Sociology. The program is titled Public Issues Anthropology, which aims at addressing major public and social issues of our time. Through this academic focus, Elizabeth hopes to conduct research that seeks to address these issues in efforts to make our world a better, healthier, more equitable place to live. We are so proud of all your hard work, dedication and accomplishments and are very excited to see what the next chapter holds.

The summer also features two more classics on the main stage - the motherdaughter conflict and gradual reveal of a family secret in Mrs. Warren's Profession, opening July 19, and the gripping tale of an unsolved murder, Angel Street (a.k.a.

Featured cats Hi! My name is Bubbles.

Do not let my serious demeanour fool you! I love to play and can hardly wait to get started with my new family. I would really love a warm welcoming home with young or old people. I am good with anything. I'm a cuddly fellow who loves being pet and having great play session with you. Are we a match for one another? Come and meet me today! I am chilling out at LAWS. I am Sardine and was saved from the streets in Carleton Place. I'm confident and self-assured. As you will see by the swagger in my step and my elevated unique tail, I know that I'm the leader of the pack. I do have a friendly demeanour and love to play. If you'd offer me a soft pillow, yum-

mie food, lots of cuddles and a safe haven, I'll be yours.

Please meet me at LAWS. I am Boots and just two years old. I am a bit of everything you'd expect from a kitty. I enjoy a bit of quiet time, but I am no couch potato. I enjoy my cat naps and I like affection, but I am content to entertain myself until you're ready for me to warm your lap. I guess I am just a little bit of all good things wrapped up in a gorgeous fur coat that needs regular grooming to keep me looking pretty.

Meet Star, who is ready for showtime and action.

Star has a great personality. She is confident, self-assured and very affectionate. If you've got a lot of love and attention to give, and you're looking for a cat with loads of wonderful temperament, she just might be the purrfect match for you!

Please meet Star at LAWS. Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or check out our website at lanarkanimals.ca.

Steep price of $5 for new glasses too much for Father

MARY COOK Column

Mother said it looked very professional. Father said it looked like it should have a dollar sign on it too.

Mother ignored him.

We followed Mother and Father up the narrow stairs to a landing where there were two doors. One was just an ordinary door, but the other one had a frosted glass in it, and a sign that said "Please Walk In", with the doctor's name and a lot of initials after it.

Well, that's when all hell broke loose! The doctor, a tall thin man with glasses which I was pretty sure he made himself, looked at the seven of us, and it was like someone had put on a light bulb over his head! He recognized Father at first glance, grabbed his suit jacket which was on the back of his chair, said he was sorry but he had an important appointment and asked us to make our own way out. He beat us to the door and left us standing on the landing.

We made it to the dime store, Father headed right for the counter with the 65-cent glasses, tried on a few pairs, read the chart, handed the clerk some coins, she put the glasses in a hard blue case, Father jammed it into his pants pocket, and we were back on the farm at Northcote in time for supper.

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your head is in the stars and your feet are on the ground, but this outlook is working for you. Just do not live in fantasy land too long.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, just when you thought a relationship had gone as far as it could go, things start to change this week. Plenty of excitement is coming your way.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You might get word of something exciting or new coming your way, Gemini. A chance to socialize with others or even a job opportunity may be on the horizon. Keep an eye out.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 This is a week for having fun and letting loose, Cancer.

These may be things you haven’t done in some time and you can certainly use a break from the norm.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You may be reticent to go back to work, especially if you are coming off of an extended vacation, Leo. But putting off the inevitable will only make the transition tougher.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, there may be some buzz surrounding your social life this week if you are game for taking chances. It may be time to pursue a burgeoning friendship.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Are you ready for a well-calculated risk, Libra? If so, then a startup venture, sizable investment or converting a hobby into a career could be the way to go.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You can’t lie to yourself, Scorpio, so own up to anything that needs improving. Take some time for some serious self-reflection and devise a plan to fix things.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Love and support are all around you this week, Sagittarius. This support couldn’t come soon enough. Some extra support will help you overcome an obstacle.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, there is strength in numbers. If you can rally together a team, you can accomplish much of your to-do list for the week in half of the time.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Thoughts about how you can work less but earn more may have been swirling through your mind, Aquarius.

Write down your plan and determine how to make it happen.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Truth may be stranger than fiction this week, Pisces.

Before you believe that something is false, gather all the facts.

There was no doubt about it. Something had to be done about Father's eyes. He held the Renfrew Mercury two feet away from his face, and still couldn't see the printing.

He had to ask someone what time it was on the gingerbread clock hanging on the kitchen wall in front of him.

So Mother insisted it was time he went in to see the eye doctor in Renfrew.

Father insisted there wasn't a thing wrong with his eyes, but Mother pointed out that he had just been looking at the paper upside down.

We had gone through this before with disastrous results, with Father storming out of the eye doctor's office and heading right for the dime store where he got a pair of glasses for 65 cents.

They were no longer doing the job. Father rubbed them with his red handkerchief, spit on them, tried them on again, and it was plain to see, the 65cent glasses were useless.

I could remember the trip into the eye doctor's that Saturday a while ago, and I silently prayed Father wouldn't cause an-

other scene like he did that day. It was all because the eye doctor asked for $2 before he even began examining Father's eyes, and then told him that when the new ones were ready, he'd have to cough up another $3.

Well, that's all it took for Father to storm out of the office telling everyone within earshot how you could buy a good heifer for $5, and it would be a frosty day in July before he'd be spending two dollars to have his eyes examined, and another three dollars to get his glasses. No siree!!!

Well, that was months ago, and now we were headed back to the same eye doctor, and unless Father had a change of heart, I couldn't imagine there would be much difference in his feelings about paying $5 for a pair of glasses.

Father lamented all the way into Renfrew. We five children were crammed into the car like sardines in a tin can, and the heat of the summer day did little for our dispositions. Emerson kept hitting Earl on the arm, and Audrey said she wished she had stayed home. But Mother said the trip was urgent ... Father simply could not go on any longer with these dime store glasses. It was time he had a professional test his eyes, and that it would be money well spent. Father was chewing on his pipe which wasn't a good sign.

The Model T was steered into a spot on Raglan Street in front of the building, where there was a store with the office of the eye doctor on the floor above. A little brass plate on the outside wall had the doctor's name on it, with an arrow pointing to the door that led upstairs.

Though Ant-Man and the

MARK HASKINS Column Wasp isn't your typical second film.

Scott (Paul Rudd) tries to make the right choices, but it always seems to backfire. When he sided with Captain America during Civil War he ended up under house arrest for two years. Worse it forced Hank (Michael Douglas) and Hope (Evangeline Lilly) to go into hiding. Need-

less to say they haven't spoken much to Scott.

With three more days to go on his sentence Scott has a strange dream about Hank's wife, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer), in the quantum realm. He calls Hank and leaves a message, but as he says it out loud it sounds ridiculous though maybe not.

While on the run from the FBI Hank and Hope have been working on a way to get to the quantum realm to save Janet. They believe that Scott's dream is the key to finding her and that Janet is using Scott to send them a message. Scott is more than willing to help and to make up for past mistakes, but things are never that easy.

Sonny Burch (Walton Goggins), a criminal who specializes in technology, wants whatever Hank is working on. Then there's the mysterious Ghost (Hanna John-Kamen). She's a trained assassin with the power to phase through walls, and she wants Hank's tech for herself.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is everything you could hope for in a sequel. Most sequels fall short because they end up being a pale imitation of the original. That isn't the case with Ant-Man and the Wasp. You still have the same incredible effects, and mind blowing scenes with things shrinking and becoming huge. You have that same humour, the brilliant dialogue and character in-

teractions. You also get a brand new story. It's not the same film over again, it's the next exciting chapter.

These characters aren't the same either. They've grown and changed with the history of the previous chapters behind them.

This is how you do a sequel.

A good sequel needs its returning cast, but it also needs the right new faces.

Judy Greer, Bobby Cannavale, Abby Ryder Forston are great. Michael Pena is so funny it hurts. Michael Douglas is the perfect Hank Pym, but Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet is inspired.

Laurence Fishburne also joins the fun as a rival scientist, but my favourite new face is Hannah John-

Kamen. An interesting villain makes for an interesting story, and Ghost is very interesting.

Of course you have to have your heroes. Paul Rudd is the classic everyman hero, and Evangeline Lilly looks like she was born to be an Avenger.

While they look great in the suits, it's them together that make the film so good.

They're the perfect superhero team.

Ant-Man and the Wasp isn't just a sequel. It's the next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Lyle Dillabough writes about an upcoming event in Carleton Place

LYLE DILLABOUGH Column Mark Thursday, July 19 on your calendar.

That evening a free concert and festive celebration will take place at the Riverside Park in Carleton Place, in front of the gazebo.

The evening has been

dubbed Free Concert in the Park, Mississippi Melodies & Festive Fun and hopefully will be a prelude to other things of this nature to happen more frequently here in the future.

On stage will be musical performances along with "extra attractions" including the return of certain "historical" personalities, plus displays, games, free draws and more.

The idea is to have a community-style celebration that is both accessible and open to all, plus fun, and hopefully entertaining as well. With next year being the 200th anniversary

of the town perhaps a bit of inspiration from this event may spread forth and similar concepts may become planted in the minds of future organizers.

Appearing on stage will be Pat and Sarah Willbond along with special guest, Mike Maher.

Pat Willbond is well known in the area for the 40 plus year career he has enjoyed as both a solo performer and as the frontman for the Diplomats and the Retro Rockers. His daughter Sarah has a remarkable voice and the dad and daughter duo are sure to please one and all.

Almonte's Mike Maher is a talented, versatile, energetic performer who is known for his solo performances as well as appearing with a variety of groups (Starfire, etc.) and in duos with myself.

He and his wife Donna used to own and operate the Page & Turner's Book Store that was once located on Bridge Street back in the mid 2000s.

Along with the musical performances, a spectacle featuring the return of certain historical personalities (from Carleton Place's rich colourful past) will take place during the show

as some excited members of the community will be getting dressed up in period costumes and bringing to life the connection to other days and adding even more fun to the evening. (Be sure to bring your camera for photos and selfies with the characters.)

There will also be some displays, games for kids (of all ages) and some free draws to boot.

The event is being presented by Lyle Dillabough Productions, the Town of Carleton Place parks and recreation department, Deputy Mayor Jerry

Flynn (private contribution), Temptations Variety & Original Ice Cream (117 Bridge St.) and Downtown Carleton Place.

A number of special guest hosts will be on hand and hopefully you will be there too.

For as it is written on the poster: "Bring along a chair, blanket, friend and be sure to pray it won't rain!"

NEWS

Lanark County mental health nurse may be most busy on Tuesday nights: OPP DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com They may not know why, but Lanark County OPP are most likely to be called out for a mental health-related call on a Tuesday night.

The Lanark County OPP is seeking three grants for several initiatives, including a proceeds-of-crime grant which it hopes will pay for a full-time mental health nurse at its Highway 7 headquarters in Perth. The position has already been approved, and the job posting expired on June 29.

"We hope to be up and running within a month," of a suitable candidate being hired, said Insp. Derek Needham, the detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, during a delegation to the Lanark County Associ-

ation of Police Services Boards (PSB) meeting held at the Perth town council chambers on Wednesday, June 27. "The funding is for a year."

The nurse would be used if it was "suspect(ed) or it is obvious that a person is dealing with mental illness," said Needham. The OPP would work with the Lanark County Situation Table, "to advance the yard stick," on these cases, to deal with people with problems, before these problems become criminal issues.

The OPP is also seeking another grant that would "increase police response," to sexual assault and harassment calls. For this, they hope to work with Lanark County Interval House.

However, with Premier Doug Ford's Progressive

Conservatives having taken office on June 29, Needham cautioned that it is "hard to say with the new government where those grants will lie," but added that "I'm still optimistic."

Regarding the mental health nurse, the OPP hopes to use their nurse to identify resources that can be of help to a mental health case before it goes to the situation table.

"It's not meant to be an either/or. They will work in sync," said Needham of the nurse and the situation table.

There will be one nurse position "for now," he said, and "we will use our analytics" to help the nurse in his/her duties. Already, Needham knows that "Tuesday evenings are the most likely time we will get a call for mental health, for whatever reason."

OPP not ready to roll with marijuana legalization: Chair DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com The chair of Lanark County’s Association of Police Services Boards is sure that the OPP is “not ready” to deal with the legalization of marijuana.

Although Bill C-45, allowing for legalization, received royal assent on June 21, Neil MacLeod told his organization’s quarterly meeting at the Perth town council chambers on June 27 that “they (the OPP) are not ready,” that the bill marked “a major shift,” in Canadian culture and that, decades ago, “nobody thought we would be legalizing marijuana across Canada.”

The Trudeau government had hoped that Canadians would be able to smoke up this summer, but they will now have to wait until Oct. 17 before

they can partake.

“It’s a considerable amount,” he said.

Another concern for MacLeod is that there is no roadside breath-analysis test, like there is to detect alcohol.

He proposed a that association members make a field trip to the Tweed plant in Smiths Falls, where medical marijuana is produced.

Tay Valley Township Police Service Board member Maureen Towaij pointed to the example of Colorado, which legalized marijuana in 2012.

“They did, indeed, see an increase in (traffic) accidents,” said Towaij. “I find this so disturbing.”

Speaking with a senior police officer, she told the association, that, ‘The only way to really test (a driver for being high) is through a blood test, and

it has to be done within two hours.”

With hospital emergency rooms already dealing with enough cases, “the police (are) not equipped, and it really disturbs me,” Towaij said.

Insp. Derek Needham, detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, told the association that “we’ve been anxiously waiting for that bill to be passed,” but that they must now await enforcement regulations to abide by. Without those regulations, “we are handcuffed,” he said. “The OPP has not been able to finalize its plan. We can’t finalize any of that training,” Needham did point out that the force does have drug-recognition officers on staff, but, he said, “we will not have every officer trained on it.”

'Writing on the wall' for one, unified Lanark County police board DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com The writing is on the wall for Lanark County's several, separate police services boards.

The county has six such boards as well as a community policing advisory committee for Mississippi Mills and a separate board for Drummond/North Elmsley.

The plan appears to be to "fold that into a single OPP detachment PSB," said Neil MacLeod, the chair of the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards, during their quarterly meeting, held in the Perth town council chambers on Wednesday, June 27.

The regulations for policing are still in the midst of changes brought in by the previous Liberal government, but MacLeod asserted that the days of individual police boards for each municipality in the

area may be at an end, and that "our job, going forward, will be to fold that, potentially (into) a single unit," he said.

With a new Progressive Conservative government at Queen's Park, and with municipal elections planned for Oct. 22, the association decided that it was best to hold off on another meeting until January of 2019.

However, in the interim, "we have an opportunity to influence regulations between now and at the end of the year," said MacLeod. "There are a lot of contentious issues on the table," and, understandably, every municipality wants to be at the table.

MacLeod said that it was very likely that there would be a board of about nine members, and that county subcommittees may be a possibility.

As his Lanark County detachment moves from

"reactive to proactive" policing, OPP Insp. Derek Needham said that he uses a "county approach," already. "I don't see myself as eight different police forces," Needham said.

At the municipal board level, "we spend a lot of time talking about tickets and finite calls for service," he said.

Also, "while not discounting that," some of the more minute concerns may get lost in the shuffle.

If there is an immediate issue, "your municipal staff ... are not going to wait until the next meeting," to deal with a policing issue, said Needham, and the ability to "articulate" those concerns does not change.

"The time has really come," said Needham.

Changing in policing "really lends itself to having one police board for the county."

There was support, though not unanimous,

for a county board from around the table.

"I've been in favour of the one-board model," said Montague Township Reeve Bill Dobson. "We can then look at the best practices of each other. To have so much duplication, and Derek (Needham) having to come to all of us with the same information (is inefficient)," Dobson said.

Provincial appointees Interestingly, representatives from Tay Valley Township were split on the issue.

"I've long supported the one board," said Maureen Towaij. She sits at the provincial appointee to the Tay Valley board and "never once (have I been) consulted by the province on anything to do with the PSB (board)." This is her second term as a provincial appointee, and by her own admission, "never once have I consulted the province," save for one phone call.

However, fellow Tay Valley member Neil Fennell said that "I remain an opponent of a single board," but added that "the handwriting is on the wall."

Appointees like Perth's Eric Halpin and John

Clement, as well as herself, had to go through a "very lengthy" screening process, she recalled.

(Clement was in limbo for 18 months, Halpin for nearly two years.)

"It slays me that the government needs a representative on the Perth board," said Halpin, though he joked that "I'm talking myself out of a job!"

Clement agreed with Dobson that "Derek (Needham) has more important things to do than come to our meetings," he said.

Mississippi Mills Coun.

Jane Torrance had a novel idea for the county.

"I'm in favour of two boards, actually," she said, saying it would "make a lot of sense."

She favoured one board for Mississippi Mills, Beckwith Township, and Carleton Place, because the three areas "do have different issues and statistics and the most growth," she said. But she noted that "I could also settle with one board."

"As long as everyone gets a representative on that (new county) board, I don't seen an issue," said Perth Deputy Mayor John Gemmell.

But that led to a question for Fennell - "Who will sit on this board?"

Would it be a community or municipal appointee?

By having a municipal appointee, selected by a town hall, the appointment "may reflect a political reality," and not necessarily a community reality.

Tay Valley's Deputy Reeve, Brian Campbell, noted that Lambton County, in southwest Ontario, which includes the city of Sarnia, went through a similar process of consolidation into a countywide board and "it wasn't an easy process. (All municipalities) wanted to have a representative." And here in Lanark County, he agreed, "we all deserve to have a representative."

Needham reminded the association that "the billing is not changing," so rates will stay as they are.

Torrance asked if each municipal board budget could be shuffled over to fund a countywide board, to which Needham replied: "That's part of the discussion ...(to) sort that out among yourselves."

He added later that "it will be less than what you currently have," he said.

"There will still need to be a board."

Rotating leadership for hospital while CEO on medical leave

Bev McFarlane was not present during the hospital's annual general meeting on Tuesday, June 26, at the Smiths Falls site, but board chair Donna Howard told the audience gathered in the cafeteria that "she left us extremely well-prepared," she said. She had "empowered members of her leadership team," to allow her vice presidents to "step up and fill the gaps."

Shaw delivered McFarlane's report in her absence, in which McFarlane wrote that she was now seeing the health care system through

the eyes of a patient on my "current health care journey." And, from what she has seen, McFarlane wrote that "we are on the right track."

Mayor John Fenik commended the project proposal.

"Let's build a place where we can age in place," said Fenik, calling it "a very unique concept."

The proposal passed unanimously.

The PerthWorks development has taken place over the past 10 years, according to Symon's report.

"There are very few parcels of land in this development remaining," he wrote.

This particular lot "is the largest lot in the development and was intended to be developed as an apartment block."

The lands are about 2,389 square metres, with "roughly 7.5 metres of frontage on Halton Street," wrote Symon. "The lands are characterized as being flat, cleared land."

Perth town council has given approval for an innovative co-housing initiative in the old PerthWorks yard.

"It's great to see a local group come forward with innovative housing (ideas)," said Forbes Symon, Perth town hall's director of development and protective services, during town council's meeting on Tuesday, June 27.

The Perth Cohousing Initiative is made up of "individuals, seniors, who live in and around Perth," who would like to erect condo apartment units, said Symon.

"They wanted to pursue a cohousing initiative."

Symon stressed that "they are not developers," and are using local contractors for the building.

The asking price is $150,000, plus a request to share 50 per cent of the survey costs for the property, according to Symon's staff report to council. The group will also pay $1,500 for common green-space improvements.

"We were pursuing this as a break-even project," said Symon, one that is "environmentally sustainable," while also "advancing broader community goals."

Coun. Riq Turner, however, questioned the group's proposal that there be a cap of $1,000 on any legal fees.

"That's the one part of the offer that we would be countering on ... and not accepting on," said Symon.

He also stressed to Turner, who is a real estate agent, that the land was always on public offer.

RVCA celebrates 6 million tree plantings with dedication at Perth Wildlife Reserve The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority celebrated the planting of their six millionth tree on Thursday, June 28.

This special tree is hidden among the over 275,000 seedlings planted this spring throughout the watershed - somewhere in the over 4,000 square kilometres of ground between the City of Otta-

wa and South Frontenac Township north of Kingston.

This achievement was celebrated with a ceremonial tree dedication at the RVCA's Perth Wildlife Reserve.

Thanks to the many, community-minded funding partners, over $5.7 million has been raised to support tree planting since

1983 - much of these funds come through the continued support of key green investors including Carleton Refrigeration, the City of Ottawa, Eastern Ontario Model Forest, Forests Ontario, McGarry Funeral Homes, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, Newcap LiVE 88.5, Pratt & Whitney Canada and the Ri-

The total value of the local reforestation effort including the landowner contributions is closer to $9.8 million and has resulted in over 26.9 square kilometres (2,686 hectares) of idle or marginal land being converted into thriving, treed landscapes.

"We are delighted to share this major milestone with our municipal and community mindedfunding partners," said RVCA chair Lyle Pederson. "We are grateful to our watershed municipalities for investing in our green infrastructure. The additional commitment from landowners and our business community is a reflection of our shared desire for a healthy, green sustainable watershed. Thank you to all our partners and especially the generous donors who support our tree planting program."

RVCA staff are currently looking for next year's planting

partners. Landowners who are interested in having one acre or more (0.4 hectares) planted in trees can contact the RVCA to learn more about the program or book a free site visit. The RVCA's full-service program includes free site visits with forestry experts, development of planting plans, site preparation, tree planting operations, followup assessments and operations to ensure long-term tree establishment.

"As someone who has been involved in the RVCA tree planting program - I can speak to the professional staff, impressive financial incentives and the many benefits the tree planting program offers," said Chair Pederson, who encourages landowners to learn more about the RVCA's reforestation programs by visiting the conservation authority's website at www.rvca.ca or calling 1-800267-3504 to speak to a member of the forestry team.

As I pondered what exciting topic to bring to you this week, I settled on three words: "enough," "sleep" and "heat."

I could quickly throw this together into a single sentence and say, "It's hard to get enough sleep in this heat," and call it a day, but that's not exactly true. It's also not even close to the word count I need to deliver.

In fact, I'll probably just drop "heat" right off the list because, well, it has been hot. And I think everyone is tired of talking about it.

I can talk about "enough" and "sleep" together quite easily. It seems that at various points during parenting, sleep is an issue. There is, of course, the early years of little bundles who don't yet sleep through the night. They turn into small humans who wake with bad dreams or need water or just get you up at the crack of dawn because they are closet farmers.

Lately the issue is twofold. One I can attribute loosely to the "heat." We have window air conditioners in our house, which is awesome in that we are not suffering. It does mean, however, that we have to sleep with our bedroom doors open to benefit from the coolness.

Usually this is no big deal.

Now that the little bundles have become teenaged/pre-teen bundles,

though, they stay up later while I go to bed even earlier.

These are not quiet people.

This is when there is a huge advantage to being half deaf in one ear. I sleep with the good-ear down, and things are quiet.

Hopefully someone will wake me if we need to evacuate.

The other factor that affects sleep isn't so easily remedied. It's clearly a consequence of adulting.

This thing makes an inconvenient bookend to the night, which starts with noise preventing sleep and ends with the word "enough" ending it too soon. (Which could be considered ironic, I suppose.)

"Enough" can be - and should be - a blessing. But when you don't think of it in that light, it's a bit of a curse.

If "enough" is going to wake me up, it's usually loosely connected to the word "time." I might wake up before my alarm and start composing to-do lists in my head while feeling a mild sense of panic about there being "enough" time to get the things done.

One day I mentioned to Boychild that I hadn't slept well. He asked why. I mumbled about waking up early to worry about things. "What do you worry about?" he asked.

Oh, I thought, where to even begin?

Like have I been "enough" for him and his sister and all of the things that go along with that whole philosophy? Will there be "enough" time to

do all the things with them that I want to do before they are grown? Have I been loving enough?

Tough enough? Persistent enough? Have I fought enough for them? Can I teach them enough before it's time for them to go on their own?

Then I should imagine Girlchild yelling "Enough!" It has become a little joke between us as she mimics the adult tone she's heard when she has touched a last nerve.

It's hard, sometimes, in the stillness of the early morning, to get one's sleepy brain to co-operate and do a rapid 180 to think about the positive ways one HAS been "enough."

There are many ways.

There are many blessings.

If one is going to get "enough sleep," switching gears is an essential thing to do. Especially in this "heat." (Enough with the heat already.)

Tay Valley recognizes historic Bolingbroke site, Korry-Ritchie family home and blacksmith shop Tay Valley Township has announced the third historic property to be listed under the municipality's recently launched Heritage Property Recognition Program. At the township's council meeting on June 26, an official recognition certificate and plaque were presented to the representative of the Korry/Ritchie family, Kevin Ritchie, for the family's early heritage home and blacksmith shop in Bolingbroke hamlet.

In presenting the official certificate, Reeve Keith Kerr and committee member Eddie Edmundson, noted that the Heritage Property Program is the latest Tay Valley Township legacy program to pay tribute to the community's magnificent heritage along with

farms, trees and cottages.

The program responds to requests from the community for a means of recognizing historically and culturally significant structures and sites.

The Korry/Ritchie home and blacksmith shop, located at 2740 Bolingbroke Rd., has been recognized for its affiliation with these two early founding families of the hamlet, and the location of the hamlet's first post office and an early blacksmith. The property was purchased by John Korry in 1848, from Perth military physician Alexander Thom, and has been in the Korry/Ritchie family to the present. The Korry family expanded the mill complex on the nearby Tay River into a major area indus-

S E G G I OUR B

trial enterprise, of which this home and blacksmith shop would have been one of the central elements, including the post office between 1865 and 1930. The log home has been beautifully restored.

The Heritage Properties program acknowledges Tay Valley Township's long and diverse Indigenous and settler history, and its wealth of heritage properties that define our community.

Properties that are eligible to receive recognition under the program include buildings that have historic or cultural significance to the community, structures such as monuments, cemetery markers, bridges and heritage landscapes and archeological sites. This program is commemora-

tive and carries no legal restrictions for properties.

For further information please visit the Municipal Office or www.tayvalleytwp.ca.

The township wishes to thank, and acknowledge the support for this program from the Canada 150 Fund and the Perth & District Community Foundation.

Perth Children's House Montessori expanding to Grade 1 to 3 and is welcoming new students now. Contact Krista at 613-812-5200 for more information.

Perth Children's House Montessori School expands program, welcomes new students now Perth-based Montessori School, Perth Children's House (PCH) announced July 6 that a proposed expansion to the lower elementary levels is a go.

An experienced Montessori-trained teacher has been hired and a location has been secured.

The new Grade 1-3 school, wished-for by a committee of local parents whose children currently attend the Casa program and who submitted a request for the school's expansion earlier in the year, is slated to open in September 2018.

"We are thrilled to be growing our school's offering; families are looking for more choice in the Perth area, particular-

ly when it comes to providing an alternative to conventional schooling at the elementary level.

Over 10 families have already supported our proposals and we look forward to working with them and the local community as we move toward September, when we will open our doors," said Krista Hearty McLean, lead of the expansion committee.

Over the coming weeks, PCH will announce where the school will be located and will be hosting a series of public meetings for families interested in finding out more about the program.

The first of these meetings will be a public Information Session held at St. Paul's Church on July 25

at 6 p.m.

About the Montessori Method of education Developed by Maria Montessori in 1897, the method is a child-centred educational approach based on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood. Montessori's method has been used for over 100 years in many parts of the world.

matters."

Peters was certified as a teacher at St. John Catholic High School in Perth, who said paramedics on scene, "Clark Bingley and Erica Harris did a remarkable job keeping him alive," he said.

"Steve Kotze himself deserves recognition. That man is a fighter. He is alive today because he didn't want to die."

Gary Manley was also recognized by the Heart and Stroke Foundation as a member of the life-saving trio.

"I was talking to Dave when it happened, and Steve was behind me - Dave assessed him immediately and told me when to breathe (during CPR)."

Manley, who was certified some 30 years prior, said it all came back to him naturally.

"I actually practised (CPR) on real people," he said.

Peden was also recognized for his life-saving efforts. As a lifeguard for the Perth Stingrays swim club, now a coach, he knew exactly where the AED was located.

"I've been trained in CPR all my life and have been working as a lifeguard since I was 14 years old, so I knew what to do," he said.

"My first thought was to call 9-1-1, but then I thought I better go get the AED because I knew where it was," he said. "There was an AED in the school, but it was locked, so I ran to the pool to get that one."

He attached the AED to Kotze and "the machine did all the work," Peden said, who was just recertified in the spring. "Everything happened as I was trained," Peden said. "I don't want to have to do that again. The device is very easy to use, as long as people are not scared of it. It talks you through it and doesn't let you do anything wrong," he explained about the AED. "I just ordered two - one for my fish camp and one for the neighbourhood, just to have it around."Peden said he knows AED and CPR work and that it makes a huge difference."Now that I have seen the whole process, it just gives you that much

more confidence with it," he said.The soccer team now has an AED, which they carry with them at all times.

Popiel said she watched the event unfold, and was impressed what she saw.

"They didn't need me," she said. "They applied (the AED) correctly - probably within three minutes - followed the instructions and a charge was delivered. They resumed CPR (excellent quality, producing a good femoral pulse) and kept going. The AED reassessed and delivered a second shock. EMS then arrived and the patient was transferred to our hospital. He was stabilized, and conscious and breathing on his own and was transferred to tertiary care. He is alive and stable thanks to the excellent initial care he received from his teammates."

Popiel said these soccer players are members of our community. "They are teachers, accountants, IT guys - everyday community member who took the time to learn CPR. A lot of people in the community look up to them," she said. "They deserve congratulations for a job well done. In addition, I'm hopeful to generate some publicity about this, which may increase the number of people in our community who will take the time to become trained.

With the advent of AEDs, out-of-hospital survival for cardiac events has really increased, and we can all save lives by starting the chain of survival early."

Some five weeks after his heart attack, Kotze said he's feeling like his old self again. He is under doctor's orders to take it easy for a while, but he intends to be back playing soccer.

"I had 100 per cent blockage in my right artery, and the two left ones were 90 to 95 per cent blocked," he said.

"Hindsight is 20/20."

Kotze said had the signs, but didn't put them together with having heart issues.

"Heart disease runs in my family, but I don't have high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. I eat well, and I'm not overweight."

myself and had made an appointment with my doctor that morning."

The cardiac incident took place May 15 when the men decided to take their footsal game to the outdoor field at The Stewart School in Perth.

They were in the midst of a scrimmage when Kotze, the "picture of perfect health," collapsed to the ground. "I was only partly in the game that night ... I had some major blockages in my heart but wasn't aware of it," Kotze explained.First on scene was Dave Peters, who assessed the situation and began CPR. Trent Peden ran next door for the AED, located at the Perth pool, and that alerted Dr. Stephanie Popiel, who was about to go for a swim. Peden raced back to the school where they prepared Kotze for the electronic shock - at this time, full CPR was being administered by Peters and Gary Manley.

The men also called 9-1-1 and the EMS responders were on the way.

Popiel, a family doctor in Perth, told this life-saving story to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, who in turn wanted to recognize the men for their quick action.

"I was tremendously impressed by the presence of mind and appropriate efforts of the people who responded," she said, during a presentation to the men prior to their Ottawa Carleton Soccer League's regular season game on June 29.

They are members of the Division 3 Oldtimers.

"AED and CPR have really increased out-of-hospital survival, and good CPR, which was done that day, makes a huge difference.

For every minute that goes by, your chance of survival drops by seven to 10 per cent. The fact that there were people on this team who knew exactly what to do when he went down; you knew how to assist him, you knew CPR, and you ran to get the AED. That's the beginning of the chain of survival. You called the ambulance and they probably took seven, eight, nine min-

utes ... it probably seemed like an eternity, but that CPR and that AED kept him alive."

Popiel said the men had the situation under control, but she "rotated in and out as it's good to trade providers so people don't get tired," she explained. "Mostly I told them they were doing a great job. One can monitor the femoral pulse, and good CPR produces a good femoral pulse. And they did great CPR." Popiel said out-of-hospital survival for cardiac arrest is less than 10 per cent if you don't have CPR or AED, "and he's alive today because you people took the time to learn CPR and knew it well enough that you knew what to do with the AED, and that's pretty awesome."

She said 40,000 Canadians a year have sudden cardiac arrests and bystanders are the first link in the chain of survival. This means their heart stops beating.

The person loses consciousness and blood flow to the brain and vital organs is cut off. If the heart is not restarted within a few minutes, brain damage and death occur. When cardiac arrest happens outside of a hospital, less than one in 10 people survive. But performing CPR right away and using an AED more than doubles their chances of survival.

"The more people who learn CPR, the more stories we'll have like this. I was really impressed watching you work," she said as she presented the certificates to the men. "I was really happy that you guys knew what to do."

Peters was closest to Kotze when he collapsed and thought his teammate was having an epileptic episode. Once he assessed the situation, Peters said he could tell right away it was a heart attack.

"It was pretty scary ... but it was a team effort," he said.

"Everybody really worked together and in an amazing way. Everyone was on the same page. It's a great thing that he's alive, and it doesn't matter what our team does this season, what we accomplished as a group is all that

AUTOMOTIVE PERFORMANCE

Licensed before-and-after-school program to start at Drummond Central School

insideottawavalley.com

LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Anne-Marie Martincich is gearing up for a busy school year in September.

She will be offering a licensed before-and-afterschool extended program for children attending Drummond Central School, the Stewart School and St. John Catholic Elementary School in Perth for children in kindergarten to age 12.

The program will start on the first day of school in September at Drummond Central School, 1469 Drummond School Rd., just off Highway 7 east of Perth.

Children who attend the Stewart School or St. John Catholic Elementary School and live close to Drummond Central School will be bused to and from their respective schools for the program, she said.

"This will make it easier for parents to commute to and from work by not having to drive to Perth and

backtrack their way again to get to work. These parents will save at least 20 minutes of commute time in the morning and 20 more minutes in the afternoon," she wrote in an email.

The cost is $13 before and $13 after school for kinders; $12 before and $12 after for school-aged kids; and full days on PA days (Christmas, March Break and summer) is $40 per day for kinders, and $35 for school age.

"I am starting this program because I was approached by the Upper Canada District School since there was a demand from Drummond Central School's Parent Council," Martincich wrote.

She also operates two other licensed programs at St. Gregory Catholic School and at Arklan Public School in Carleton Place.

Martincich said she was approached by both school boards to start these programs.

"My three programs are all licensed by the Ministry of Education and I hire registered early childhood educators. We follow the Ontario Early Years Curriculum, How Does Learning Happen?"

Drummond Extended Program is licensed for 26 kinders and 30 school-age children, and there is no waiting list yet.

Martincich, a registered early childhood educator, has more than 25 years of experience in the field.

The program is run by RECEs who will provide "quality care in a warm, nurturing, inclusive educational environment where parents are consulted for their knowledge and encouraged to provide their input into programming," a brochure notes.

Martincich will be distributing brochures to prospective clients next month. For more information, call or email her at: ammartincich@bell.net or 613-558-8672.

DEATH NOTICE PAULINE LORANA MCCRUM (Bishop) February 15, 1923 July 2, 2018

“Think of me as being on a new and wonderful adventure.”

Pauline McCrum, June 2018 It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Pauline McCrum (nee Bishop).

Pauline was the daughter of Geraldine and Whitfield Bishop and grew up in Chipman N.B. with four siblings (the late Thyra Gander (Bob) the late Vida Maxwell (Byron) as well as surviving sister Myrna Till (Brian) and brother Raymond Bishop (Marita). After high school she attended teachers college in Fredricton N.B. and her first school was a one room school house. In 1944 she became a teacher at the school in MacAdam N.B., where she met Robert P McCrum. They married in June 1946 and after a short time in Massachusetts, came back to N.B and eventually ended up in Smiths Falls Ont., where they raised their five children. Pauline went back to teaching in the 60’s. First as a supply teacher and later accepted positions at Queen Elizabeth school in Perth and Chimo School in Smiths Falls.

Pauline and Bob lived on Cornelia St. from 1952 until 1972. In 1972 they built a house on the Bay Rd. in Lombardy which became a place that all family would gather for countless celebrations. In 2010 they left their home and moved to the Wedgewood in Brockville.

Unfortunately, Pauline lost her beloved Bob in Jan. of 2014 after 67 plus years of marriage.

Retirement only meant a beginning for Pauline. She golfed, sailed the great lakes, took art classes (we all enjoy her paintings on our walls) and took every opportunity to learn new things including computers. We all Face Timed with her regularly! In the time she was at the Wedgewood she put together a book club and kept her dinner mates engaged in lively conversation on every topic. To quote her sister Myrna, losing her “is a terrible loss of talent and creativity”. However, she survives in small ways in each of her children: Harold McCrum (Jane) of Lindsay; Barbara McCready (Bill) of Thunder Bay; Lorana Potts (Dan) of Marion, Virginia; Carol (Kate) Scott (Fraser) of Toronto; and Phillip McCrum (Katherine) of Vancouver. She has 10 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren: Matthew Adams (Allison) and children Angus and Eve; Eric Adams (Sarah) sons Timothy and Fen; Jeremy Adams (Laura) daughter Lydia; Heather Logan (Kris), sons Oliver and Whittaker; April Witham (Cory); Phillip Potts; Mary Heney children Aislynn and Carter; Hayley Parsons (CJ) children Isabelle and Daniel; Gregory Scott (Marissa) children William, Cameron, & Alexander; Whitfield Ransom-McCrum.

Pauline is also survived by her sister in law, Christa McCrum, wife of the late Roger McCrum, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. The family would like to thank the Wedgewood staff, care partners, Dr. Bhatt in Brockville and Dr. Contreras and Carolynn at Ottawa Heart Institution for their care and support of Mum over the last few years. Family and friends are invited to gather at Blair & Son Funeral Home, Smiths Falls on Saturday, July 14, 2018 from 10 a.m. until the time of the service in the Chapel at 11 a.m. Interment will follow at Hillcrest Cemetery.
