Hydro protest in Perth on May 2 Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

On the same week that electricity prices rose across the province, protesters will converge on Perth’s Hydro One facility on Saturday, May 2 to voice their displeasure with soaring electricity costs.

“Our group is full of people who are losing their homes,” said Ginette Kosnaski, who is organizing Saturday’s noonhour demonstration at 99 Drummond St. W., of her Facebook group, “Hydro One: Enough is Enough.” For those members who are at risk of losing their homes, their hydro bills have grown to be as large as their mortgage payments.

The Barry’s Bay resident added that it is not uncommon for her to hear comments like: “‘How much can I put on my hydro bill this month so that I don’t get cut off?’ You can never get ahead. No one knows what to do.”

By early afternoon on Saturday, April 25, Gore Street East, seen here from the bridge over the Tay Canal, was chock-a-block full of people enjoying the unofficial start of spring in Lanark County, the 39th annual Festival of the Maples. The people were flowing as thick and heavy as sap at tapping time, a welcome change from last year’s wet and cold weather which kept the crowds away. See page P4 for more photographs of the day.

Beckwith Recreation Complex, saw 33 drivers from each of Lanark County’s municipalities (excluding Smiths Falls) compete in seven separate circuits designed to put them through their paces and test their snowplowing abilities.

Participants faced obstacles that had them reversing into tight corners, attempting to lift and maneuver the front plow through a “keyhole” and delicately knocking pylons off of a raised platform without knocking the platform over.

Drivers were judged on their performance on each course, and received a final score out of 370 for the day, with the top two performers advancing to the provincial level.

When they weren’t on the courses, drivers were invited inside to browse vendors’ booths at the tradeshow. Vendors showcasing products like asphalt, surface solutions and personal protective equipment filled the indoor soccer arena for the full day. Coffee and donuts were also provided to participants, who were facing a wet, chilly day outside.

Snowplows were out in full force in Beckwith on Wednesday, April 22, but not to clear away snow – public works drivers from across Lanark County were participating in the annual Truck Roadeo tournament for a spot in the provincial competition this September.

The Lanark County Truck Roadeo is held each year by the county’s public works department and the Lanark County Road Supervision Association (LCRSA) to test the skills of snowplow drivers from each municipality.

The top two performers of the day have the opportunity to advance to the provincial competition, which will be held in Barrie, Ont. this year in September.

Snowplow skills tested at Lanark County Truck Roadeo

Smiths Falls man poised to take fight for son’s citizenship to court in 2009 meant he would not be recognized as Canadian. The family had a week of sleepless nights worrying for their five year old son and wondering what they would do if he had the same symptoms. What is most frustrating to the family is that Paul has been working part-time as a teacher and paying taxes into the health care system since their return last year. Since Mateo’s health coverage was dropped, the Comptons have been able to get $100,000 of health insurance on their young son, which is not much when compared to health care costs for a hospital stay or to treat a broken leg.

Local MPP Randy Hillier took the matter to the Ontario Legislature on Tuesday, March 31, stating the loss of OHIP for Mateo is due to regulation 552 not being modified when the 2009 amendment to the immigration laws were passed.

“Paul and his family are looking to you to demonstrate that this government has compassion and integrity.

You surely will agree that it is not within the spirit of the law to disallow health care coverage to the dependent child of Paul, who is a Canadian citizen. Minister, will you act now and make sure that the law is applied as it was intended and that Mateo is covered by health insurance?” reads the Hansard record from the legislature.

Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins noted there is a three-month waitSubmitted photo ing period for new Canadian citizens to access OHIP and that this coverage

Only five days remain for the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration to confer Canadian citizenship for five-year-old Mateo Compton of Smiths Falls before the family seeks a solution in federal court.

A letter from immigration lawyer, Cecil Rotenberg dated April 24, 2015 outlines a request for full citizenship for Mateo and completing Paul Compton’s wife, Paula’s application for permanent resident within the next 10 days.

“Can you not see the inequity of this particular situation objectively,” the letter asks.

The Comptons can. For over a year the family has been lobbying for their case to be completed on compassionate grounds, but it was at the end of March 2015 that the biggest blow came when the province immediately revoked five-year-old, Mateo’s OHIP coverage. This decision has brought with it an incredible amount of worry and concern for the Smiths Falls couple whose fears of deportation have been replaced with fear of the common cold.

“This has destroyed our lives. This is what they’re doing to our family,” Paul said.

Not only has the situation shaken their sons’ faith in Canada, it has created fears of their family being separated. Recently, their eight-year-old son, Stephano was sent to hospital with an infection. Stephano received Canadian citizenship shortly after his birth in 2006, but legislation changes months before their son, Mateo’s birth

Mateo, 5 and Stephanoe, 8 Compton hold up a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as a symbol of what they feel is being denied them – the rights afforded to a Canadian to give their citizenship to their children. The minister has been asked to fix the issue by next week or the case will go to court.

is extended to permanent residents and citizens only. Hillier then asked the minister to act as he did in 2009 for refugees caught in the new law changes and grant OHIP coverage to Mateo.

“Minister, I think it’s important for us to realize that there’s a lesson here: that laws that are rigid and lack discretion, and that are applied regardless of the circumstances, always result in unjust outcomes.” Hillier said in the Hansard record.

The minister offered to have the Comptons meet with his ministry staff on the issue, but noted the delay is fundamentally a federal issue. This newspaper contacted the federal Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s office with questions around why the ongoing citizenship process has impacted Mateo’s health care coverage and received this response from Kevin Menard, press secretary: “Healthcare is a provincial jurisdiction and provinces can have different rules on a case-by-case basis.”

Citizenship The issue of granting Mateo citizenship is a federal matter, but one mired in technicality. Essentially, the fact that Paul was brought into Canada by his Canadian father at 18-weeks-old has meant Paul can’t pass on citizenship to his son, Mateo despite having lived in the country for much of his See CITIZENSHIP page 5

“We felt bad since then that we’ve done the wrong thing,” Flora said.

If the couple had come to Canada and not registered his birth in Scotland, young Paul would have gone through the five years of Canadian life before he was considered a natu-

The request for special consideration for the Compton’s is made under the government’s own policies outlined in a Jan. 14, 2015 letter to the Smiths Falls family where it states priority is given for dependent children of Canadians. Reid’s April 1, 2015 letter states: “… the experience of the Compton

Local MP Scott Reid has written two letters on behalf of the Compton family to Citizenship and Immigration Canada Minister Chris Alexander hoping to have the minister confer citizenship rights.

“He does have discretion to do that,” said John Edwards, paralegal in Rotenberg’s office.

Should the minister not reply within the 10-days outlined in the lawyer’s letter, they will move forward with a federal court proceeding (Mandamus proceeding) that could require the government to process the Compton’s application swiftly if they deem the wait time to be excessive.

Reid’s letter states the wait time to be 27 months for this application. Menard’s response on the wait time was: “This particular application will be

family so far provides no evidence that applications with dependent children are prioritized in deed rather than simply in word.”

Paul’s desire to see his son receive citizenship is the immediate need. In the long-term he would like to see every one of the 16,000 similar cases before the Canadian government dealt with in a compassionate manner by changing legislation so that Canadians who have demonstrated strong ties to the country aren’t stuck in limbo for over two years.

“I’m not backing down. I am determined that I will do everything in my power to make sure this law is changed,” he said.

The 2009 amendment was unanimously passed by all parties as a means to close up a loop hole in citizenship. A rush of refugee applications claiming Canadian citizenship rights in 2009 showed the gap in the

system, and it was decided citizenship can not be passed down from generation to generation without any connection to the country. At this time the government found they had no record of who was a citizen and who wasn’t, but Reid notes the intent of the amendment was never to block families like the Comptons from gaining citizenship.

Take action Paul is calling on every Canadian citizen to join him in this action by writing letters to the minister on his behalf and signing his petition, both of which can be found on his website: http://justiceformateo. blogspot.ca/?m=1, which has links to their Facebook page

and the change.org petition.

“As a personal favour to my family write letters to Mr. Reid.

We do have power if we stand together,” he said.

The changing dynamic of Canadian society and the ease with which to travel for work has made situations like the Comptons more and more likely for the average Canadian.

Reid agrees, suggesting the solution may be to provide automatic citizenship and the right to pass that citizen onwards to anyone who may have been born abroad but lives in Canada for at least five years.

“It would solve a meaningful number of cases,” Reid said.

Unfortunately, with only 38 sitting days left in Parliament it looks like this legislation amendment will have to wait until after the election.

Paul is prepared to take his case to the Supreme Court if necessary, and is already planning to share his story beyond Canada in order to create the political pressure necessary to evoke meaningful change.

Local health unit can give you a boost and update immunizations April 25 to May 2 marks Immunization Week. Changes to immunization schedules and recommendations can make it confusing to know whether or not someone is fully immunized. The Leeds, Grenville and District Health Unit can help with some common concerns.

Recent measles outbreaks have people asking if they need to be immunized. Children in Ontario are generally immunized for measles at 12 months

and again between the ages of four and six. People born in 1970 or later, who haven’t had measles, should receive two doses. Individuals born before 1970 can be immunized, but in most cases it is not necessary due to natural immunity from having had measles. http://www.ontario. ca/health-and-wellness/about-measles.

Children attending primary and secondary school in Ontario must have either proof of immunization or exemptions against the following diseases:

• Diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella • New requirement for 2014/15 school year: meningococcal disease – on or after one year of age and again in grade 7 • Pertussis (whooping cough) • Varicella (chicken pox) – for children born 2010 or later Visit http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/ public/programs/immunization/school_ age.aspx#6 for more information.

Please advise the local health unit whenever a child receives immunizations. When there is a disease outbreak at a school, health unit immunization records are referred to so unimmunized students can be removed from school until the outbreak is over.

Along with routine immunizations, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit provides travel consultations as well as hepatitis A and B, and typhoid vaccine on site. There is a cost

for these vaccines. Visit http://www. healthunit.org/immunization/ for more.

Once immunized, everyone should keep a copy of their immunization record. To help with this, an app is now available from Immunize Canada. The app allows people to record their immunizations, and receive information about immunization schedules and vaccines.

To find out more, visit http://www.immunize.ca/en/app.aspx. Don’t hesitate, get up-to-date.

Power failure

T

he issue is not necessarily which political party is in power; the problem is the price that Ontarians are paying for power and how the party that continues to be in power cannot seem to find a solution.

The bottom line is that some households are having a tough time coping with skyrocketing hydro rates, and it remains to be seen how our political leaders are going to figure out a way to address the situation that shows no sign of improving.

Is it too much to ask from our government a viable option that will provide relief to commercial, industrial and residential ratepayers?

Most of us are prepared to pay our fair share, but it seems like Ontarians are being asked to go above and beyond to shore up a system that does not appear to be serving the best interests of the province. And the Ontario budget tabled last week appears to do little to address the concerns of residents who are having to make difficult choices when it comes

to deciding between paying the energy bill and some other important product or service. This is not just some ploy whipped up by opposition parties at Queen’s Park; the high cost of electricity is a legitimate issue that needs to be addressed.

We can debate who is responsible for this mess and how Ontario ended up with such a large debt. What we are seeking is a reasonable method of addressing the growing concern over skyrocketing hydro rates and their negative effects on customers.

Perhaps a majority government – regardless of party affiliation – does not feel as much of a need early in its mandate to make a concerted effort to tackle certain issues. We are trying to understand why the current regime does not appear to be taking hydro rates and the burden that is being placed on Ontarians seriously. It’s hard not to be discouraged by the government’s lack of action on this issue.

The old Model T was fair humming all the way along the Northcote Side Road and Mother kept saying “Please, don’t let us have a flat.” The old car was well known for having as many as two or three flat tires banging over the washboard Northcote Side Road.

Letter to the Editor

Reader: Why are Ontarians paying for hydro experiment?

DEAR EDITOR: Don’t be surprised by 2030 the Liberals 20year plus failed hydro experiment at a cost of $87 billion they say, which in my opinion will cost over a $100 billion, as nothing ever comes in on budget, that we will be paying 27-30 cents a KWH. The Liberals are selling off 60 per cent of hydro for $9 billion then putting $5 billion back into hydro what are the buyers putting in so in reality the Liberals are selling hydro for $4 billion.

So we must ask why we will be funding this failed energy experiment as Ontarians still own 100 per cent of hydro when we will only own 40 per cent.

Volunteers needed for golf tournaments coming to Smiths Falls June 15 to 17 The organizers of the Magenta Mortgage Pro-Am presented by Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac Ltd. in support of the Team Henderson 110% Club (June 15) and the Canadian Women’s Tour Ontario event (June 16 to 17) that will be held at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club (SFGCC) are looking for volunteers.

door of Walker’s Store.

A man, who turned out to be the manager, was beet red, and he had one of the those things to magnify his voice by shouting into it, asked for everyone’s attention. Standing beside him was another man, whose red face matched the manager’s.

“There has been a terrible mistake. This is the person who put the ad together for the Mercury and instead of printing 27 cents a yard for the Dan River cotton, it came out as 7 cents! The number ‘2’ was mistakenly left off and really, the price is 27 cents, not 7!!!”

Well, I thought there was going to be a riot. Those women from Renfrew and the miles beyond were having none of that nonsense. A woman shook her umbrella in the manager’s face and with the sun shining and the heat of the day just beginning, I guessed she brought her umbrella expecting a riot. “Now you know the law as well as I do, Mr. O’Kane, and you have to sell that Dan River cotton for what it was advertised.” And with that and using her umbrella

designated group and records the scores for each player on a prepared scoring sheet.

• Walking standard bearers for the Women’s Tour event – Must be able to walk 18 holes and carry a 10 lb. standard that displays player scores relative to par. Required June 16 and 17.

• Course maintenance assistants – To help with course preparations by raking bunkers according to directions prior to the commencement of play. This is an early morning assignment. Required June 14 to 17.

• Caddies – Players are responsible for their caddies and can be penalized or fined due to their caddiy’s conduct so it is important that volunteers for these positions are personable and have a strong knowledge of golf etiquette and the rules of golf.

They should be available from the practice round through the end of the final round.

Players are expected to reimburse caddies $50 per round (this fee may be waived by the

caddie if they wish). Required June 16 and 17.

• Transportation – Some drivers may be required to pick up or deliver players to and from the Ottawa airport.

Assistance may also be needed with off-site parking and bus shuttle service. Required June 15 to 17.

• Player billets – Due to the financial demands of playing on tour, some competitors may request to be billeted with a local family for the duration of the championship.

Required June 14 to 16.

Anyone interested in one of these volunteer positions may register by going to the SFGCC web site: www.smithsfallsgolf.com. Then click on the red button marked “Volunteers” and fill out the online registration form.

A volunteer orientation session will take place at the SFGCC on Monday, May 25 beginning at 7 p.m.

as a prodding iron, pushed back the two men and plowed through the door, with all of us following her inside the store.

Mr. O’Kane vanished through a little door at the back of the store, slamming it shut and I could hear a lock being rammed into place. The bedlam was left to the sole clerk who started removing the dozens of neatly folded bolts of Dan River off the shelves and pounding them down on the long counter.

I was sure we would never get out of the store alive! Whole bolts of Dan River were sold and it didn’t seem like anyone gave a hoot in Halifax for pattern or colour. Mother grabbed a hold of a lovely mauve bolt and one with a pale yellow plaid design and told the sales girl she’d take the whole yardage off both. Two women were both pulling at the same bolt and I was sure it would just be a matter of time before the one Renfrew policeman was called to keep order.

It wasn’t long before only one or two bolts of material were all that was left on the counter. No one was getting cuttings, everyone taking the whole bolt, which thankfully didn’t have to be mea-

sured because the original yardage tags were still attached.

We headed for the car, each of us carrying one of the bolts and I stayed in the front seat while Mother peddled her butter, eggs, sticky buns and trussed up chickens all along the back streets of the town of Renfrew.

Before the next week was over, new mauve Dan River cotton curtains hung on the kitchen window, a yellow table cloth covered the red oilcloth and I had two blouses to wear to the Northcote School. And there was still lots of material left for which Mother was sure to find a use. It was my hateful brother Emerson who tried to take the shine off everything when one morning, wearing my new mauve blouse and sitting on the bench under the kitchen window at the table, he said I matched the curtains.

“All you need is a curtain rod through your hair.” I paid him no heed.

Tax shocks for retirees Manage Your Money

You have been diligently paying your income taxes for many years and perhaps, in most years, you have enjoyed a tax refund.

Then you retire – and in your first year of retirement you get a (perhaps expensive) surprise: no tax refund. Instead, you take a ‘tax payable’ hit.

When you enter retirement, the sources of income you receive change. Your employment income is typically replaced by the Canada Pension Plan (CCP), Old Age Security (OAS), other pension income and withdrawals from personal savings. Often not enough tax is withheld from each of these sources in the first year – and you will end up with an amount of tax payable on April 30.

You can avoid that tax shock by using these strategies: • Know your tax obligation and all the deductions and credits available to you o Be aware of your potential tax obligation by completing a pro-forma tax calculation and set aside money to cover your tax liability. o If you were 65 or older on December 31, 2014, you may be eligible for the non-refundable age amount tax credit. o You may be eligible for the nonrefundable disability tax credit if you, your spouse or an eligible dependent qualify due to a severe and prolonged impairment. o You can claim eligible medical expenses paid in any 12-month period ending in that taxation year for which you have not been reimbursed. Keep your receipts. o You may qualify to jointly elect and split up to half of your eligible pension income with your lower-income spouse.

• Watch for installment payments o In the second year of your retirement, you may receive a notice from CRA indicating you are required to make installment tax payments. You’ll receive this notice if the tax owing on your last return was greater than $3,000. If the installments are not made on time, interest will be charged and penalties may be applied.

• Reduce or eliminate the amount of installment payments by having more tax withheld from CPP, OAS or pension income o To increase tax withheld from CPP and OAS benefits, send completed CRA Form ISP 3520, Request for Income Deductions to your Service Canada Office. o To increase tax withheld from pension income, send completed CRA Form TD1 2015 Personal Tax Credits Return to the pension plan administrator. If you live in Quebec, complete both the TD1 Form and Form TP1015.3-V Source Deductions Return.

The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, April 22 at the county building in Perth.

Council passed a motion adjusting the way the Renovate Lanark program is administered in order to eliminate the need for 10-year forgivable loans to be registered on title. The program is offered through Lanark County Social Housing and provides financial assistance in the form a forgivable loan (maximum of $10,000) or an accessibility grant (maximum of $5,000 available to renters).

The aim is to allow low-income homeowners to conduct mandatory home repairs permitting continued safe occupancy of their home. The elimination of the requirement to register loans on title will reduce the legal and administrative costs of the program. Instead, a promissory note would be negotiated as security for the loans, as required by provincial guidelines.

The 2015 Renovate Lanark program is now open and accepting applications up to Friday, May 22. For more information, to learn about eligibility or to apply, go to http://www.lanarkcounty.ca/ Page2195.aspx.

Roy Brown to receive an honour he deserves Last August Canada marked the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War. What is commonly called “The Great War” lasted from Aug. 4, 1914 until the now famous 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.

In the coming months and years the centennial of many famous battles and individual acts of heroism during the First World War will be observed.

One such anniversary will take place April 21, 2018. That will be 100 years to the day since the highest scoring aerial ace of the war, German pilot Baron Manfred von Richthofen, was shot down and killed near the city of Amiens in northern France.

I think it’s safe to say that to this day the “Red Baron”, as Richthofen later came to be known, is familiar to the majority of people. Arguably he is the best known war-time pilot of all time.

Richthofen was just 25 when he was killed. His career as a war-time aviator, during which he is officially credited with downing 80 opposing aircraft, has been the subject of an endless string of books, magazine articles, television documentaries and films. It was an American pulp fiction writer who coined his nickname in the 1930s. Richthofen was not known as the Red Baron during his lifetime.

There’s no question the German pilot is among the most famous war-time figures in history.

Someone who is far less known is the Canadian ace who was responsible for ending Richthofen’s short, but deadly, career as a fighter pilot.

Captain Arthur “Roy” Brown is a native of Carleton Place, my adopted hometown. During nearly 40 years here, all of which have been spent in the newspaper business, I’ve written about Roy Brown and his fateful meeting with Manfred von Richthofen on many occasions. Some of those articles have appeared in this newspaper.

I am a war history buff, something I have mentioned in this space previously. But I don’t think there’s a single war-time story that interests me more than the Brown-Richthofen saga. The story itself and the story behind the story are truly fascinating.

Over the years it has been my privilege to meet, interview, socialize with and get to know surviving members of the Brown family. Among them were Roy’s youngest brother

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Howard (he died in 1999 at age 96) who also happened to be the unofficial historian for the Town of Carleton Place. What a fascinating and wonderful man he was! For many years I was proud to count him as a friend.

On April 18 my wife and I attended a dinner held as a tribute to Roy Brown at historic Moore House here. The second annual dinner was hosted

by Scott Reid, the Member of Parliament for Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, the federal riding that includes Carleton Place.

History encyclopedia I feel I am quite knowledgeable about the world wars and the Brown-Richthofen conflict in particular. However, I bow to Scott’s superior knowledge on those subjects and history in general. The veteran MP is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the world wars, First World War aerial combat and the Brown-Richthofen story. I also know he has vast knowledge of Canadian history in general, the history of government in this country, the Parliament Buildings and so many related matters.

Some of the facts about Canadian pilots during the First World War, which Scott offered during his address to our small group, I had never heard. I am also fortunate enough to have taken one of Scott’s tours of the Centre Block of the Canadian Parliament Buildings in Ottawa. That was quite an experience.

On April 18 our MP’s generosity was directed to the Roy Brown Society, an organization dedicated to preserving the memory and telling the story of Carleton Place’s most famous son. I am privileged to be a founding director of the group which was founded in 2009 and is headed by former town councillor Rob Probert, who serves as president.

Our group also works to tell the stories of the 14 other Great War pilots who hailed from Carleton Place. Yes, 15 First World War airmen came from our community. On a per capita basis that has to be some kind of record.

Their story is now on offer in the Roy Brown Museum housed in Moore House. The log structure, which dates from

the 1830s, was purchased by the Town of Carleton Place in 2007 and totally refurbished. It’s located opposite the Carleton Town Hall on Bridge Street.

Moore House is now the new home of the local Chamber of Commerce. The aviation museum will remain and plans call for more related displays at the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum on Edmund Street.

The reason Scott Reid chose April 18 for the dinner was well timed. It was the weekend before the 97th anniversary of the aerial showdown between Brown and Richthofen which was marked a week ago Tuesday (April 21).

On behalf of the Roy Brown Society I want to thank Scott for his support of our organization and his dedication to the Roy Brown story and the museum. He was the only person to hold a formal ceremony to recognize the 90th anniversary of this truly amazing saga in April 2008.

During his address at the dinner he hosted, Scott also revealed he is helping champion an effort (which also involves society director Don McKay) to have a national postage stamp struck to honour Roy Brown on the occasion of the 100th anniversary in 2018.

However, I have saved the best news for last.

On June 4 Captain A. Roy Brown will be formally inducted as a member of the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame during a ceremony in Toronto. The hall itself is based in Wetaskiwin, Alberta 65 kilometres south of Edmonton. But Toronto is a more central location for the induction ceremony which will also include three other air force pilots.

A delegation from Carleton Place led by Probert and including Mayor Louis Antonakos and Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn (also a founding member of the Roy Brown Society) will be in attendance at the induction ceremony at Pearson International Airport. I too will be among those from Carleton Place at this very special event. Also in attendance will be several members of the Brown family including his granddaughter, grandson, nieces and nephews.

I know several of them personally.

serves a lot of credit. He also received strong support from past Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc who was among those in attendance at the recent dinner at Moore House.

Ironically Wilfrid Reid “Wop” May, the fledgling pilot Brown saved when he clashed with Richthofen on that fateful day 97 years ago, was among the first class of inductees at the inaugural ceremony for the national aviation museum in Edmonton in 1974. Obviously someone thought to nominate him. May went on to make a huge contribution to Canadian commercial aviation. He was also involved in the search for the so-called “Mad Trapper” (also known as Albert Johnson) in the Yukon in 1932. May spotted the fugitive from the air which led to a shootout with the Mounties that ended in the trapper’s death.

There is another intriguing, recent sidebar to the Brown sto-

age 90. I was fortunate enough to interview Mrs. HarmonBrown for this newspaper during her visit to Carleton Place in 2009. The stories she told about her famous father were absolutely riveting and are a prized file in my personal interview archive.

Roy Brown died in 1944 at the tender age of 50. He’s interred at the Toronto Necropolis a cemetery in the centre of Canada’s largest city. There is an interesting story behind that which I will relate as part of a future column I plan to write in the lead-up to the June 4 induction.

In case you’re wondering why Brown was not inducted into the aviation hall earlier, the answer is simple. He wasn’t nominated. Not until one of the Roy Brown Society directors, former Canadian Forces pilot Ross Beck, went to bat and did the legwork necessary. Ross de-

ry which I will relate in the future column I plan to write prior to the induction ceremony.

Some may wonder why I haven’t touched on the controversy which continues to swirl around the downing of Richthofen. That’s because there’s no basis for it. Brown is officially credited with shooting down the German ace and has been from Day 1. And no matter how you look at it, had it not been for the actions of Captain A. Roy Brown on that day, nearly a century ago, the Baron’s “victories” over Allied pilots would undoubtedly have continued.

I look forward to attending the event in Toronto and watching in person as Captain Brown receives some long overdue national attention. It is credit he richly deserves.

Monarch conservation specialist Jean Lauriault will speak about the Monarch butterfly May 21 at the Almonte Civitan hall.

Nature associate.

When Jean isn’t out monitoring Monarch butterfly caterpillars on his own milkweed patch in the Gatineau Hills, he is either teaching environmental conservation or guiding visitors up rocky

paths in Mexico, to the hillside overwintering sanctuaries of the Monarch butterfly, where he has travelled for decades to study them and help develop the North American Monarch Conservation Plan. Jean considers it a ‘super-challenge’ to conserve a species which does not stay put, but which instead makes an annual transcontinental journey through three countries.

So many aspects of the Monarch butterflies’ varied-length life cycle and migration habits are not known or understood. How do the adolescent Monarchs, born in Canada, survive and find their way to the Oyamel fir forests in the mountains of Mexico; do the firs and the adult butterflies require the same unique environmental conditions? Come to MVFN’s Spring Gathering to hear about the many mysteries of the milkweed, the Oyamel firs and the amazing migration of these beautiful creatures, directly

from a man whose conservation work has been a 20-plus year labor of love!

MVFN’s Spring Gathering 2015 will take place at the Almonte Civitan Community Hall.

The reception will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a chance to meet, share a drink and chat with friends, and bid in the silent auction.

Dinner will commence at 6:30 p.m. and then, sit back and enjoy Mysteries of the Monarch Butterfly. Tickets ($40) must be purchased or reserved in advance by Thursday, May 14 and are available in Almonte at Gilligallou Bird Store, in Carleton Place at Reads Book Shop, and in Perth at The Office.

For more information or to reserve your ticket/s for pick up at the venue on May 21, please contact MVFN’s Brenda Boyd at bjboyd@mvfn.ca or 613-2562706.

A veteran principal and mentor who has helped advance the Upper Canada District School Board’s (UCDSB) adult education, eLearning and student success programs has been honoured with the Ontario Principals’ Council Award of Character, also known as the Ted Kennedy Award.

Frank Hummell, UCDSB principal of student success and eLearning, was presented with the honour last week during the annual gathering of the local chapter of the Ontario Principals’ Council (OPC). The award, sponsored by the OPC, is given each year in memory of the late UCDSB superintendent Ted Kennedy, who died in 2011. It is presented to an administrator who not only contributes to his or her school community but has also provided educational leadership and mentoring that support the UCDSB system goal of providing learning opportunities for all.

Friends and colleagues said the award was well-deserved.

“Like so many of my colleagues I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Frank,” said Terry Gardiner, UCDSB principal of continuous school improvement. “He has served our board with distinction as an elementary, secondary and alternative school principal, and influenced so many of our current leaders to pursue an administrative role.

“He demonstrates the leadership, character and sense of humour that Ted Kennedy is so fondly remembered for.”

Hummell was cited for distinguishing himself in several ways including: • His involvement in several initiatives for students at risk including helping to create the board’s ABLE sites, the Strict Discipline Program and a guide book used to train UCDSB employees in Restorative Circles.

• As student success principal, he initiated work with the planning and research department to publish lists for Grades 7-12 schools of students at risk. The work led to the creation of the board’s Tracking to 2020 program, and has impacted how student success funding is allocated.

• In his current role, Hummell also expanded programming offered online and changed the rollout of eLearning so our principals can be more strategic in using the online courses to complement programming at their schools.

Hummell was particularly pleased to receive an award in memory of Kennedy, a colleague who, when he first came to the board, sought Hummell’s advice on various issues.

Build a team before buying a house Buying or selling property is a complex process, but it’s not a lonely one. Real estate experts estimate that a person could speak to as many as 14 different professionals during the process.

“There are many players involved in a real estate transaction, from bankers to lawyers or even surveyors, so it’s easy to feel overwhelmed,” says Patricia Verge, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). “In some cases, speaking with a professional is vital to the procedure, so my job as a realtor is to help connect

clients with the right person at the right time to make the sale or purchase as smooth as possible.”

These are some of the professionals you may speak to during the home buying or selling transaction: Lender or mortgage broker – Meet with your financial expert to see how much home you can afford, or if you are selling and want to move to a larger home, how much more you can afford each month.

Insurance provider: You’ll need property insurance when you finalize the mortgage, so

speak to an insurance broker or agent before the sale closes.

Home inspector: OREA strongly advises every home buyer to have a professional home inspection before buying.

Get a few names of reputable inspectors so you’re ready to make that call when you want them to inspect the house.

More information is available online at www.wedothehomework.ca.

This article is provided by local REALTORS® and the Ontario Real Estate Association for the benefit of consumers in the real estate market.

Consider if condo is the right choice With condo popularity on the rise, prospective buyers have a few things to consider before taking the plunge into ownership.

“Condo living offers a unique lifestyle with many perks,” says Pat Verge, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). “Before buying one however, it’s important to speak to a realtor about the responsibilities, rules and fees that come with condo ownership.”

According to the Ontario Ministry of Government and

Consumer Services, condo living might be right for you if you answer ‘yes’ to most of these: • Do I like the communal aspect of condominium living?

• Can I afford monthly condo fees?

• Am I prepared to contribute to how the condominium is run and governed?

• Do I understand responsibilities of owning a condo?

• Am I looking for amenities?

“Condo fees are definitely an important consideration, but

there’s a bigger picture to look at,” says Verge.

Some other items to discuss: • The number of parking spaces and locker units that come with the unit; • The number of rental versus owned or commercial units in the building; • The rules and regulations of the condo, including pet policies; • Insurance policies.

Smoke is your man. Tell him how sweet he is and he will talk back to you. The ladies at Natural Pet Foods Store tell us they’re super sweet, very playful, handsome and very active. Although they love having those two special boys around in there store, it’s time for them to be chosen into a forever home. They’re not the kind of cats who constantly like to be picked up but they do enjoy love and affection and they’ll return the favor.

Ace and Smoke are awaiting your visit for a while at Natural Pet Foods Store in Carleton Place. Please come and meet these two brothers. One home would be great but adopting into separate homes is OK, too.

but luckily for me a nice person came along.

It has been many months since I was taken to the shelter for some much needed care and I delivered that baby right there.

Meanwhile my baby went to a loving home Unfortunately I am still at LAWS, I feel sad and alone.

They say I am a very friendly, albeit little shy, small black green-eyed cat.

Would you like that?

Please come and see me soon, I want to be loved and go to sleep on my private bed and give you the love I’ve yet to get.

Isla

Isla is recommended to a home without other pets and/or children. After she escaped on an adventure into the outdoors she was attacked by another cat.

Isla lost as she is declawed on her front paws. Shortly thereafter Isla was surrendered to LAWS because she is no longer comfortable around smaller children or other animals. Although Isla can be very loving towards most adults, she requires space and the freedom to come to you on her terms. With time and pa-

outgoing and a very strong boy. He needs work on leash skills, as he is quite the puller at the moment.

Ramstine knows his sit command and his down command, but needs ongoing direction. He is a high energy boy and will require plenty of daily exercise and stimulating activities.

He can be quite vocal and is good with most dogs. He’s one happy go lucky boy!

Come and meet Ramstine at the shelter: 256 Glenview Road in Smiths Falls.

Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@ lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613283-9308.

tience Isla could be your forever, nonscratching, pretty grey cat. Please give her a chance.

Ramstine Ramstine is very social and friendly with people. He is suitable for a home with children over 12 as he jumps up a lot, which we are currently working on with him.

He is very enthusiastic, playful and

At Black River Cheese Company, cheese making is literally an â&#x20AC;&#x153;artformâ&#x20AC;?.

Inspired by Doug Peters, this team is continually working of the creation of innovative cheese products such as the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Goat Cheddar, Honey Cheddar, Wine Cured Cheddar, and more.

PICTON, ON - In the heart of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest wine region, home of Sandbankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Provincial Park, The Black River Cheese Company Ltd. has been making award winning, fine artisan cheese for 114 years in Prince Edward County.

Dedicated to using the same cheese making techniques that the company was founded upon, General Manager and Master Cheese Maker, Doug Peters has been guiding his team of cheese makers, Matt Creasy, Todd Payne and specialty cheese maker, Stephanie Diamant in the production of award winning, fine artisan cheese.

Using only 100% pure milk, no modified milk ingredients or artificial preservatives, The Black River Cheese Company is

one designed for coaches, first started.

Coaches requested a unit be developed for parents, which was launched with Hockey Calgary.

R0013247799

A new respect in hockey program will launch next season for all minor hockey clubs who are a part of Hockey Eastern Ontario.

The announcement was made at the Richcraft Sensplex on April 20 by Hockey Eastern Ontario officials and representatives from the Respect Sport Group.

One parent or guardian for every player in the initiation and novice levels in Hockey Eastern Ontario clubs will be required to take the one hour, online course every year.

A parent or guardian of a new registrant up to the midget level (17year-olds), will be required to take the course once.

The $12 cost will fall to each individual who takes the course, unless the hockey association bulk purchases access codes and includes these as part of the fee in registration costs.

The course will cover a variety of topics, ranging from injury prevention and how to have positive relationships with coaches and referees, to how to deal with abuse or harassment.

Mark Allen, from Respect Sport Group, said ideally the entire family would take the course, though

come an advocate for awareness of child abuse and the psychological effects abuse can have on a person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember back in 1997, and I remember the discussions,â&#x20AC;? he said, about the time period when his former hockey coach was jailed for Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexual assault. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think hockey was faced with a decision to make. What are we going to do about a situation that happened? And I saw now, there is no youth-serving organization besides Hockey Canada that has done so much about these issues.â&#x20AC;?

He said hockey isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a place that breeds bad people, but the rink can be a place that situations can be addressed and problems solved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The safest place for these kids a lot of times, is in our rinks,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to give the adults the tools to handle these cases and situations and have these conversations when needed.â&#x20AC;?

He said a child having issues at home may choose to tell a coach, manager, or teammateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be a great benefit in this day and age for our kids to be great young people. And I think if that is our focus, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll become great hockey players,â&#x20AC;? Kennedy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the focus has to shift a little bit into making sure we grow great people.â&#x20AC;?

Vehicle theft gets even more complicated by going wireless As vehicles get ever more complicated with electronic technology and specifically wireless communication systems, the imagination and skills of the less legal side of society blooms along with these automotive advancements. We’ve heard of hackers being able to take over control of certain vehicle functions with a laptop, but those efforts have been rather clunky and haven’t hit mainstream street thieves as of yet. But a new risk is now out and confirmed and it involves a pocket sized device worth as little as $20 and with it anyone can get into your vehicle with a simple pull of the door handle.

One of the more popular features on many of today’s new vehicles is a passive keyless entry system. With this convenience item, a driver approaches the vehicle door with the key in his or her pocket and touches the handle to automatically unlock the door. Some options require pushing an exterior button; some models simple unlock the door as soon as you are in range without lifting a finger. A receiver module inside the vehicle ‘looks’ for the key when it’s in range (usually less than a meter from the door handle) and the module and key go through a split-second recognition and validation process before the door locks pop open. The new kink in your security is a hand-held power amplifier that will extend the vehicle’s electronic search radius for the key to up to 100 metres and through most walls. There

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

have been no reports that this amplifier will allow anyone to start the vehicle by pushing the start button as vehicles equipped with that feature have sensors that must ‘see’ the key within the passenger cabin before allowing the engine to start.

So if your vehicle is parked in the driveway and the keys are hanging on a hook inside the house, this amplifier will unlock the doors at a touch of the handle. The current word from the ‘experts’ is that if you have a concern that this new device has found its way into your neighbourhood, you need to store your keys in a shielded container to prevent the vehicle’s signal from reaching it. The technical term for this type of container is a Faraday Cage and as few of us have one lying around the house, our friendly security advisors recommend keeping the keys in your refrigerator freezer. But before you start rearranging last year’s frozen zucchini mash to make room for the keys be warned. Remote key-fobs are powered by small batteries and when

the temperature drops, so does the battery’s output. As well, any moisture on the printed circuit board inside the keyfob can damage sensitive components when it’s frozen. So leave the freezer for Green Giant peas.

So what are your options? You could Google or YouTube search for information on how to make a small homemade Faraday Cage and then hang it on your key rack and deposit your keys inside it, or you can simply remove anything valuable from the vehicle when it’s parked outside.

they’re already mounted on rims) take the time to clean the hub area where the rims mount to the vehicle. Any small particles of rust or grit on the vehicle’s hub ring can lead to major wheel vibrations. A stiff wire brush should do the trick and if you want to make sure you can get the wheel off again in the fall or in case of a roadside flat, spread a small amount of heat-proof grease (copper based is best) on the hub ring where the large inside hole of the wheel rim mounts to it and around the base of each wheel stud.

Learn about therapeutic riding with new tutorial The Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program has just released a new online tutorial for riders called Starting to Ride. This free course provides helpful information on riding and horse-skills for participants. It’s a fast and easy way to learn a few tips about horses and riding in the program!

The new course is a complement to an existing online course geared towards volunteers who work with the riders and the horses, Getting Started: The Volunteers’ Guide for Therapeutic Riding.

Both online courses were designed and developed by conex design.

The Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program provides a safe environment to introduce children and adults to the benefits and joys of the healing powers of the horse. In its 30th year, the program continues to thrive on support from volunteers. This dedicated group assists with leading and side walking during the lessons. No previous experience with horses is necessary – just an interest in being outdoors, getting some exercise, and wishing to help and enjoy working with these special riders.

Volunteers are still needed this year.

For more information, see the website or

call the office at 613-257-7121.

The online tutorial for riders is available on the website: http://www.therapeuticriding.ca/VideoStartingtoRide.

To find out more about or to get involved with the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program, see www.therapeuticriding.ca/Volunteers.

The Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program provides specialized form of horseback-riding to people with physical and/or developmental disabilities in Lanark County since 1986.

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO. We want it to be here for our kids, our kids’ kids and beyond that. That is what Forever CHEO is all about!

Singer/songwriter Lynn Miles takes over Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Circle Theatre May 9 flute at school, then switched to piano, and was writing her own songs by the age of 10, many of them inspired by the books she loved to read, and the music she listened to on the radio.

Milesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; link between music and literature remains to this day. Love Sweet Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening track, Flames of Love, for example, was the result of a long period of reading Sufi poetry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the way the Sufis write about love,â&#x20AC;? Miles says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their love is a spiritual love and I reinterpreted it and wrote Flames of Love, about jumping in the fire and letting go and not being afraid, and letting it get hot and not caring about what other people think.

Just really going for it.â&#x20AC;?

The idea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the song itself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is exhilarating and exciting, yet full of hidden corners and alleyways from where the joy can be blindsided without notice. But as Miles notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn from happiness.â&#x20AC;?

If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, one gets the sense that Miles has learned a lot. In a career that has seen her move from Ottawa to Nashville to Los Angeles and back to Ottawa, and release albums as varied as the slick Night in a Strange Town (co-produced

Miles is one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most accomplished singer/songwriters.

John Grummett of Grimsby, Ontario, writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Bill. I enjoy reading your stories in the local paper each week. Here is my story: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I own a 1969 Buick Skylark Custom convertible. I bought it in March 1982 when I was 16. It was my first car. I bought it from a lady in Kitchener (not a little old lady) for $2000.00. It was originally bought at Forbes in Kitchener. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look too bad in a picture back then but I have replaced the roof, recovered the seats, replaced the floor pan and carpets, replaced a window frame, and had it repainted twice over the past 33 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a lot of miles on it anymore, but when I was a teenager, it was my daily driver in the summer.

I have never driven it in the winter.

Now I take it for the odd drive to the beach or to church on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a 350 Buick engine. The original engine broke a timing chain when I was in university, so I bought a 1972 LeSabre for $100 and swapped the engine in the back yard using the bucket of our tractor. I still have the original engine in a cupboard in my garage. Someday I will rebuild it and replace it.â&#x20AC;?

The Buick Division of General Motors first made use of the Skylark name in 1953 when it brought out a custom-styled Buick convertible to celebrate 50 years of Buick. It was powered by Buickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new V8 engine to replace the straight eight engines that had powered Buicks since 1931.

Another Skylark was brought out

in 1954, after which the name was dropped.

The Skylark name was revived in 1965 for a full range of body styles on the midsize wheelbase of 115 inches (120â&#x20AC;? for the station wagon) at a time when full-sized Buicks rode a 126â&#x20AC;? wheelbase. These new Skylarks were popular right from the start and the name continued until 1973, when it was replaced by the Buick Century of the same wheelbase. The Century was a revival of an earlier Buick name dating back to 1936, when a big Buick engine was installed in a smaller body. It was nicknamed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;factory hot rodâ&#x20AC;? and was good for 100 miles per hour.

Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1969 Skylark convertible weighs 3,398 pounds and a total of 6,552 were built with a U.S. price tag when new of $3,152 (slightly higher in Canada). These Buick convertibles are highly collectible today.

How many people have you heard say they regret selling their first car?

John Grummett isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of them.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2.

St. John high school students take vow of silence in mark of solidarity with Aboriginals Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

You can’t pay some kids to keep quiet.

But many students at St. John Catholic High School in Perth actually paid for the privilege, by making a vow of silence on Thursday, April 16 (the high school portion of the school held their vow the day before.)

For about 105 minutes, the students adhered to their vow of silence, and coughed up $2 each, all while dressing down the for the day – in a colour representative of the “pillar” they chose, including: • Poverty • Child labour • Clean water • Education Kayleen Preston/METROLAND • Health “Poverty is one of those things Josephine Affleck, left, and Maggie Mahaney, in the foreground, work on their people talk about all the time,” said poverty posters during the class at St. John Catholic High School on April 16.

Courtney Doyle, who helped lead one of the classes. She pointed to a quote

by Mahatma Gandhi, who said that “poverty is the worst form of violence.”

The class heard several shocking statistics, such as: • Every 3.6 seconds, someone dies of hunger in the world.

• About three billion people live on less than $2 a day.

• In 2010, about 876,948 people used food banks in Canada.

• About 17 per cent of American children live in poverty.

The day before, the high school classes had kept a vow of silence in solidarity with Aboriginal people who Kayleen Preston/METROLAND have been denied their basic human Kaitlyn Wright leads off a presentation on poverty to intermediate students. rights.

Council votes down train whistle study Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

It turns out that not everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance.

The never-ending train whistle saga was again before Perth council, with a motion by Coun. Ed McPherson to hire an engineer, at a cost of $15,000, to conduct a study on the matter and deliver a report.

McPherson told Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, April 14 that he was following up on an election promise to a Perthmore resident, to see if a study could be done to ban train whistles being blown as trains made their way through town.

“We have never had an answer back,” said McPherson about whether such a thing was possible.

However, other councillors reported that it did not appear to be the large issue it once was.

Coun. Jim Boldt said that he had met with Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MP Scott Reid about the issue of rail safety but “I don’t recall that we discussed train whistles.”

Coun. Judy Brown said that, when she was running for re-election last fall, that “I’m not sure if they (train whistle critics) have gotten used to it or have given up on us ever doing anything about

it,” but she has heard less on the issue.

Mayor firm Mayor John Fenik was adamant that this was an issue he did not want to see brought up to the council table again.

“This will lead us down a path that will tie up this council for months,” said Fenik.

When the issue was last being debated, “it went on and on and on,” and if there was a finding, critics would dispute it. “If train whistles ceased… would we be safer? We have been down this path.”

Fenik also criticized the cost of the study, too.

“My biggest concern is about safety,” said Brown. Driving past the Isabella Street crossing several times a day, she worried that “if the gates and lights failed, it would be catastrophic,” she said, if there were no whistles.

Coun. Riq Turner pointed to the December 2013 incident where a train hit the back end of a large truck on Wilson Street.

“If there had not been any train whistles, that may have ended up differently,” said Turner. “There are many places that people can live (in Perth and environs) and they don’t hear train whistles. So, that may be an option.”

In the end, only McPherson voted in favour of the motion.

Perth Performing Arts Committee holds last concert of the season May 1 One way for spring to pop up is the inspiring words of Reginald Heber (1733-1826).

“Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil.”

But if you really want a high note feeling of spring come to Perth Performing Arts Committee’s last concert of the season on Friday, May 1 at 7:30 p.m.

The Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony will be instrumental with “Listen! Live!

Love!”

It’s quite something to have a full symphony and a huge anonymous donation made it possible.

Today, the KWS is one of Canada’s outstanding orchestras, garnering national and international attention for its artistry and musicianship, as well as for its innovative programming.

We often hear only the best-known works of mature composers, but the Perth concert will explore the beginnings of their genius through their early works. This program, featuring KWS

Principal Viola Natasha Sharko, explores youthful works of Torelli, Hummel, Mozart and Mendelssohn.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. in the Mason Theatre at Perth & District Collegiate Institute, at 13 Victoria St. Tickets are available from Tickets Please-visit www.ticketsplease.ca or by phone 613485-6434, or drop in at Jo’s Clothes, 39 Foster Street in Perth.

• Keep your vehicle registration certificate and proof of insurance with you.

Don’t leave them in the glove compartment.

• Park your vehicle in a well-lit area.

• Give only your ignition key to a parking lot attendant. Keep your other keys with you.

Things to avoid: • Never leave your vehicle unattended while it is running.

• Never leave your keys in plain view or in an easily accessible area.

• Never leave valuable objects or packages in full view. Put them in the trunk.

The case of William (Bill) McNichol will be back before the Ontario Court of Justice (OCJ) on Monday, May 11.

The historic sexual assault trial, which is covered by a publication ban, was last spoken to for a pre-trial hearing at the OCJ sitting in Smiths Falls this past Friday, April 24.

In November of 2014, the Lanark County OPP charged the 64-year-old with several sex offences in regards to a historic sexual assault investigation, dating back to 1993. On Dec. 23, 2014, McNichol was again arrested and charged in relation to a second victim, dating back to the late 1980s.

McNichol is charged with one count each of sexual assault, sexual exploitation, and sexual interference with a person under the age of 16 years, contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada.

The charges have not yet been proven in court. The OPP is continuing with its investigation.

If anyone has more information on this matter, they can contact the Lanark County OPP detachment at 613-2672626, toll-free anytime at 1-888-3101122, or the Citizen Self-Reporting System online at opp.ca.

Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier, a long vocal critic of Hydro One, is tentatively scheduled to speak at the twohour event.

This is just the latest in a series of protests in the area, in places like Brockville, calling for a change at Hydro One. But this latest one will be different.

“We are having all of those mini-rallies to create awareness,” she said, in the run-up to a noon-hour mega-rally at Queen’s Park in Toronto on Wednesday, May 13. “This (Perth protest) may be the last one held by our group’s administrators before the big one, so we hope it is busy.”

The protest will also come shortly after Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa announced in his April 23 budget that the government would be selling about 60 per cent of Hydro One to private interests.

“That really blew my mind,” she said. “Our group just went nuts after she (Premier Kathleen Wynne) announced that.”

According to a press release, from the Ontario Energy Board, electricity prices will be rising tomorrow (Friday, May 1), for all residential and small business customers using time of use pricing. The off-peak rate, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. weekdays, all-day during weekends and statutory

holidays, will go to 8 cents per kilowatt hour, an increase of 0.3 cents. The mid-peak rate, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. weekdays, goes to 12.2 cents per kilowatt hour, an increase of 0.8 cents. On-peak hours, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, is at 16.1 cents per kilowatt hour, an increase of 2.1 cents.

She has seen her own hydro bills jump from an average of between $180 and $220 per month to between $280 and $320 per month now – and she conserves energy, and uses a wood stove.

“It was so cold this winter,” she said.

The group stands opposed to the delivery charge, regulatory charge, HST and debt retirement charge appearing on the monthly bill, as well as Smart Metres.

“We don’t have the choice to put them on,” she said.

While they are at opposite ends of the political spectrum, the Progressive Conservatives and the New Democratic Party have expressed concerns about rising electricity rates and hydro privatization, and “it’s nice to have them on our side.”

While the recent Brockville rally attracted 40 people, she is hoping that this weekend’s rally will draw even more people out.

“It’s not a scary thing,” she said. “Come out and support us. This is for everyone. We are doing this for you. We are no doing this for us.”

Lighter, brighter BIA Christmas lights for downtown

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth’s downtown core will get a lot lighter and brighter with Christmas cheer, starting this year.

Kyle Woods, the new chair of the Downtown Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA), told Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, April 21, that plans are afoot to light up 18 mature trees downtown – at a cost of about $35,000 for the first year, and $11,000 a year thereafter, for installation, removal, and storage.

Woods admitted that while $4,000 a year was spent on hanging wreathes in the downtown core, it was a little underwhelming, and

the BIA was asked to implement a plan to enhance the Christmas lights downtown.

The BIA is requesting $6,000 from the town, year-to-year, to help carry this new program, which will expand as the years go on.

They also requested that the initial $35,000 come from the town’s capital reserve fund.

In 2017, there are plans to light up the town hall clock tower for the festive season, and, by 2019, to see Christmas banners go up downtown. In 2015, the band shell behind town hall in Market Square will also be illuminated with some of the anticipated 29,000 lights.

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell wondered however why the BIA

had settled on only 18 trees since, “there’s more than 18 trees in the BIA area,” he said. Woods replied that 18 were chosen since they were “large and mature enough to make an impact,” but that more trees would be added in the future.

“Perth is well known in the summertime,” said Brown. “It gets zillions.”

The colder months, however, do not see Perth as a likely destination, and the Christmas lights of old were not helping.

“Some of you probably remember the old lights,” said Brown.

“They weren’t very striking.”

The new lights, however, will be coordinated by the same man who does the lights on Parliament Hill.

“It (the new lights) would make the whole town a destination,” said Brown. “This is the first step towards making it happen,” though she hastened to add that “Carleton Place has a much larger BIA than Perth does, and double the budget we do.”

Mayor John Fenik admitted that there was room for improvement with the lights, but that there now appeared to be a plan in place.

“It’s long been a patchwork of things to get it done,” said Fenik. “(But) the lights remain ours. For the next five years, we’ve got a great vision.” As for the old lights, “we would find other uses for them,” said Wood. “A good chunk of them would still be used.”

Smiths Falls Rotary Club’s donation addresses international crisis Stacey Roy

world and crisis events such as air raids at all hours of the day and night. While she didn’t make the cut for the team, Landry is proud of herself for having done as well as she did.

“It made me even more inspired,” she said.

The Perth volunteer was so impressed with the Shelter Box organization and the positive impact it has made when she learned of it at a Rotary conference five years ago, that she set to work to raise funds immediately.

“I’ve raised, personally, $12,000,” she said.

Shelter Box directs 85 cents of every dollar to creating boxes.

Those who donate to the cause are given a tracking number so they can see which disaster in what part of the country their shelter box has gone to help in, and Landry said any amount is most welcome.

She has raised funds through presentations to different service clubs and organizations, as well as by attending community events such as last weekend’s Maple Festival and the upcoming Perth Ribfest, which will be held Aug. 21 to 23. For more information on the organization and its work, please go to www.shelterboxcanada.org.

For $1,200 the Smiths Falls Rotary Club has bought a family protection from the elements and given them a chance at survival following crisis or natural disaster.

The donation was made April 24, 2015 by Jay Brennan, president of Rotary Club Smiths Falls, and will go towards providing one Shelter Box to a family in need.

“We’re happy to help with it.

It fits in with our mandate for sure,” Brennan said.

Shelter Box is an approved Rotary International project that began a number of years ago by a Rotarian. This isn’t the first donation the Smiths Falls club has made to the international relief program. In 2010, they purchased a box to help a family in Haiti, which to date has been the largest aid effort the non-profit organization has undertaken.

“They’ve been very supportive. There’s still people living in them today,” said Sue Landry, Shelter Box ambassador and Perth Rotarian.

When the earthquake hit Haiti, Shelter Box was on the ground to deliver 27,000 boxes. The pro-

gram uses local Rotarians to deliver the items, which helps them in cutting down the response time. Landry explained the program does have boxes stored on each continent so that response is quicker when the need arises and transportation links are under strain.

Each box is tailored to the disaster at hand, but generally contains a tent that is rain, wind and flood resistant; cooking tools, a kids activity kit, water storage and purification equipment, as well as solar lamps and thermal blankets.

Landry noted the water equipment can be life saving for many people who have lost their entire community due to disaster. Having such a critical gift given to them is emotional for the recipient and the trained response team who are mobilized on the ground to distribute items in times of need.

“They find that so overwhelming. By the time the team leaves people are planting flowers around it [the tent],” Landry said.

Last fall, she was one of three Stacey Roy/METROLAND Canadians to travel to Texas for Jay Brennan, president of the Rotary Club of Smiths Falls presents a $1,200 donation to a tryout to be on the Shelter Box Sue Landry, Shelter Box ambassador April 24, 2015. The funds will go to purchase one response team. This experience included a simulation of third Shelter Box for a family who has lost everything due to crisis or natural disaster.

OPSEU ‘disappointed’ with final offer for town workers Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Haley said that the negotiating committee found the offer “very disappointing and annoying. We go into negotiations expecting good faith.”

Of particular concern to OPSEU was that eight town managers are on the provincial “Sunshine List” of taxpayer-paid employees who earn more than $100,000 a year, and that the town council had given itself a cost of living allowance increase which comes into force automatically, each year.

“These workers feel betrayed,” said Haley in an April 24 press release.

However, Fenik is sticking to his guns.

“Teachers have not had a raise since 2012,” he pointed out, and that the province is trying to “strip away” some aspects of their collective agreement.

“Look around at other labour groups,” he said.

He stated that he was not prepared to go back to council to seek a new offer, and will stand by the one presented last

Area Tories make mind up this weekend on new leader Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Provincial Progressive Conservatives have one more week to make up their mind when voting for their new leader.

The two-horse race will be decided in the coming week, and voting locations have been finalized in the riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington.

The first opportunity to vote will be held on Sunday, May 3, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the following locations: • Perth Civitan Club, 5787 County Road 43.

• Oso Hall, 1084 Elizabeth St., Sharbot

week. “I’m really solid in feeling that this is a very good offer,” said Fenik.

He stressed that “we’ve got a great staff.”

While the workers could be in a strike position in 14 days, if the offer is voted down, and a mediator is not brought in, Fenik was clear that “we’re never going to lock anybody out. That’s not my style.” At 2.1 per cent, “that adds up and we have only so much we can give,” he said.

R0013228803_0416

The union representing town workers is not happy with the town’s final contract offer – but Mayor John Fenik says it is better than what is on offer elsewhere and he is not backing down.

“I guess they are not happy,” said Fenik during a telephone interview on Monday, April 27. “We’ve made an offer, a three-year deal and I think (it is) a very generous offer.”

The town says its final offer was made on April 22 and was for 2.1 per cent per pay raises for three years, with the first year being retroactive to Jan. 1.

OPSEU (Ontario Public Sector Employees Union), staff representative Roger Haley however disagreed with this: “It was not 2.1 per cent. It was less than that,” he said, that it was only two per cent over three years.

“They withdrew more than they had offered earlier,” Haley said. “That’s one of our problems, that council was likely

misinformed.”

The vote on the final offer was due to be held on the evening of Tuesday, April 28.

“We (the union negotiating committee) did not make any recommendations,” said Haley. “We will let them make their own decision.”

About 25 town staff members are represented by OPSEU. If the offer is rejected, a “no board report” will be filed, which means, essentially, that “the two sides are unable to reach a decision,” said Haley during a Tuesday morning telephone interview.

At this point, the union would likely ask for a mediator “to get another kick at the can.”

The collective agreement expired on May 31, 2014, but talks did not begin until after the Oct. 27 municipal elections. The union says it applied to the Ministry of Labour for a conciliation officer to assist the two sides. When the final offer was made late last week,

A ‘Friend’ly happy birthday

I

was lucky enough to be part of an annual general meeting on Sunday. I know, I know. As soon as you put the words “annual general meeting” in front of anything, eyes tend to glaze over and people start backing away from whatever room it’s in.

Not this time, though. Partly this is because there were some great snacks served, but mostly because it was a birthday party of sorts. It has been 20 years since the Friends of Murphys Point Park formed.

I’ve been involved since it was created in 1995 – a keen former summer student who had recently returned to the hometown as one of those so-called grown-ups.

From the beginning, the Friends’ mandate has been to further the public’s awareness, education and understanding of the geological, historical/ archaeological, cultural and biological resources of Murphys Point. We do this through projects, research, support for the park’s natural and cultural heritage programs, and promotion.

At the AGM, one of my jobs was to review our activities for 2014. I always find it tricky to go back and revisit all the big and little things accomplished, but then the park’s senior naturalist, Tobi Kiesewalter, put it all in perspective by showing a slide show retrospective of our 20 years.

Some of our earliest projects included the building of nesting platforms for osprey and loons. We had funding to research the bullfrog population on Hogg Bay and the golden-winged warbler population – a species at risk.

Many years ago we started an adopta-snake program that raised funds to help monitor the grey ratsnake population, which is threatened species. We received a grant that has allowed us to expand this effort over the last two years by tracking six snakes through radio telemetry. As a result we learned about four new hibernation sites and critical habitat that can be protected in the park.

Education has been a huge part of what we do. We have raised funds to enhance or create interpretive displays and publications in the park – from trail guides to educational booklets about natural and cultural history to signage and displays in the visitor centre. An incredible team of volunteers worked to restore a donated ore wagon and build a shelter for it along the Silver Queen Mine Trail. It’s a gorgeous display that helps to interpret the history of small-

scale mining in this area.

About 15 years ago, we embarked on a project that introduced hands-on archaeology to school groups. Archaeo Apprentice connected Grade 6 students to licensed archaeologists to do actual excavation work at the McParlan House site in the park. It received rave reviews from students, teachers and parents; helped us learn more about local history and it won the Peggi Armstrong Public Archaeology Award.

We embraced the notion of kids needing to “get outside!!” by creating Super Kids In Parks. For several years we ran sessions in the Fall, Winter and Spring that introduced kids to topics such as cooking over campfires, building shelters, pond studies, ice fishing, tree identification and so much more.

We worked with two other local clubs – the Tay Valley Cross-Country Ski Club and the Rideau Trail Association – to rebuild a washed-out bridge over Black Creek, thereby improving access and use along the McParlan House Trail for all of us.

Six years ago we started Heritage Mica Days, which has grown to attract 6,000 visitors each summer and has been named a Top 100 Festival and Event by Festivals and Events Ontario for the past two years. Again, thanks to thousands of hours of volunteer work and a solid partnership with Murphys Point staff, the Friends have helped to bring the vibrant history of the park to a huge audience. It was also recognized

by Ontario Parks with an “Outstanding Achievement” award in 2014.

One of our crowning achievements is the fact more than 50 students have been hired in our 20 years, and many of them have gone on to full-time careers in related fields – not to mention the thousands of lives they have touched as they shared the magic of Murphys Point with visitors.

It was rewarding to revisit all of the things that have helped to keep Murphys Point a local treasure. We would love more help to keep the magic going!

Visit www.friendsofmurphyspoint.ca to see how you can get involved or support us. Happy 20th birthday, Friends!

Reliving my days of bullying

n Wednesday, April 13, Grade 7 and 8 girls from high schools across the county all assembled at Perth and District Collegiate Institute for a “Be the Love” youth conference. The conference focused on girl-girl bullying and how young women can change that. The girls watched a video about the “Kind Campaign” where two young women took a road trip around America to help dilute the bullying issue that most girls face.

The real message of the video and presentation was, “It’s you who can make the change.” This led to the girls wanting to open up to them noticing that change needed to happen.

I noticed a change in myself as well.

While watching the presentation and listening to the stories that these girls shared, it brought tears to my eyes.

Having been bullied from the young

HAVEN LAMOTHE Have of Information age of 10 I could relate to so much that these girls are talking about - like death threats to the terrible slurs that people would shout in the hallways. My heart broke for them. Bullying between girls starts at a very young age.

These young girls feel that they have no one to turn to, not from the school, friends, or at home. Being a victim of bullying I wanted so much to share my wisdom with these young women and tell them that in time things get better.

Bullying isn’t something that just disappears though. I went through hell and back before I realized that I needed to

Saying good-bye to our dear friend, Tux There’s an uneasy silence in our house right now.

With two kids living in our home, it’s hard to compete for attention; but it’s obvious there’s no longer the clacking of nails on the floor or a tail thumping as a morning greeting.

Two weeks ago, our family gave our dog, Tuxedo (Tux), a hug goodbye. The good news is Tux is still alive, but he had to leave our home and is currently living in a foster home.

Nearly six years ago, my husband and I first laid eyes on a black and white puppy when visiting a co-worker’s home. We picked him out from the litter, and agreed on the name Tux, based on the fact that it looked as though he was dressed for a night out. We had to wait six weeks to get him, but my husband – who was my boyfriend at that time – had other plans. He’d use Tux as marriage proposal bait. My husband swears Tux is the real reason I said yes.

Since that time, Tux has been a big part of our lives. He moved into our first house with us, and was there when we welcomed home our two children.

But Tux hasn’t had an easy road of health. When he was eight months old, Tux was diagnosed with stage3/4 hip

Private “I”

CATHY JAMES

dysplasia. We’ve been told we can’t run him hard, but that we also need to manage his weight. It felt like a Catch 22, but we worked hard to keep him healthy and happy.

With the arrival of the two little ones, Tux’s anxiety increased. When our eldest started trotting around the house, Tux became even more uncomfortable, as a toddler’s actions can be unpredictable. We tried to ensure our son understood what it means to give a dog space while trying to encourage Tux to remove himself from a room if he’s uncomfortable.

But two months ago, Tux gave our son a warning to get lost, and nipped him. He didn’t hurt our son, but the message was clear: back off. He was obviously becoming increasingly uncomfortable with his hips. We immediately

Tuxedo (Tux) knew we had to prioritize our kids’ safety, and reached out to a number of rescue centres, thanks to the support of Jim and Judy Stewart. We had some rescue centres tell us they didn’t have room, while others told us to better train Tux. The worst response we got was that it’s probably time to put Tux down.

But then our help came. We reached out to the Lanark Animal Welfare Soci-

ety (LAWS) as well as Mel’s Farm. Both Debbie Coleman and Rhonda Fleming from LAWS and Mel Young were amazingly supportive and understanding as we worked to finalized this difficult decision. They didn’t judge us and instead made us feel better that we were making the best decision for our family, and better yet, for Tux. They both told us that too often, a

family will ‘keep an eye’ on a nipping dog, and it often transpires into a bad outcome for the kids and, ultimately, the dog. Two weeks ago, Mel came and picked Tux up. He then made his way to LAWS before eventually going into a foster home. Debbie and Mel have both reached out to us to give us Tux updates, and to let us know just how well he’s doing.

I’m sharing this piece because for the past four years, I’ve chronicled my “Walks with Tux”, and you often ask about how he’s doing these days. I’m also writing about it to bring awareness about having pets around children and safety.

We know we made the right decision saying goodbye to Tux, but it’s doesn’t make it any easier. We miss his kind eyes, his playful demeanor and his middle-of-the-night cuddles. I especially miss our evening walks, when we’d go out together after the kids’ bedtime. Tux forced me to get outside after some long days at home.

Any dog owner will tell you just how much love and life a dog brings into a home. That’s certainly true for Tux, and we know his next owners will say the same.

How to become a 200th Anniversary sanctioned event If you’re an event organizer and plan to host something within the Perth area in 2016, well, oh, boy, do we ever want to hear from you!

As part of its anniversary plans, the Perth 200 anniversary advisory panel came up with the idea to have 200 sanctioned events for 2016. What does this mean? Essentially, it’s putting together a roster of local events happening in 2016 and showcasing it. To. The. World (cue fireworks).

The Town of Perth itself will be

Spartan Scene

hosting three Signature Events.

But part of Perth’s charm has to do with its active sports community, arts community, historicalfocused community, and more.

We want to ensure we give these events a tip of the ol’ hat when it comes to celebrating our town’s milestone anniversary.

These sanctioned events will be posted on the Perth 200th website, and once we finalize the list, we’ll put together a pretty brochure that website visitors can download.

We’re currently putting this 200 sanctioned event list together, but we can’t do it without your help. There are so many existing annual events as well as specialized 2016 events in the works, and we need event organizers to

reach out to us to give us the information about the sanctioned event. The advisory panel then reviews the requests for sanctioned events and we go from there.

This is where we envision someone putting up their hand and asking: “So what information to you need from us, the event organizer?”

Wow, great question! Thanks for asking. Please send an email to cathy@catscovecommunications.com or fill out a Contact form on our perth200.ca website with the following information: Event Name: Who is organizing the event: Date and Time: Two- to three-sentence paragraph about the event:

Contact details: website, etc.

If you’d like to use the Perth 200 anniversary logo in your promotional materials, you can fill out the application form, which you can find on our website at www.perth200.ca, and send it our way. We’ve already heard from a number of local organizations and groups who are putting together some exciting plans for the 200th! We can’t wait to hear about yours.* The Perth 200th Anniversary crew will have a booth set up at the Festival of the Maples this Saturday, April 25.

We’ll be located in front of the Perth Museum, so please pop by to learn more about what’s to come for 2016!

IN MEMORIAM THOMASRussell, February 01, 2003 Julie May 02, 2005.

In loving memory of our parents & grand parents.

Deep in the heart lies a picture, Of our loved ones laid to rest.

In memories frame we shall keep them.

Forever loved, missed & remembered Joyce Ellard, Gladys, Glen & Zelda and families

SINFIELD – In memory of George Sinfield, who left us April 25, 2005.

The moment that you left us, Our hearts split in two.

The one side filled with memories, The other left with you.

We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same.

For those who still have their Dads, Treat him with tender care, You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and he is not there.

Loving wife Muriel Allen, Cathy, Brian and Melissa Paul, Sharon, Jake and Jesse Elizabeth Steve, Cheryl, Brett, Ida Rose

DUBERVILLE, Mikey – July 2, 1980 - May 2, 2002 To our special boy, it’s been 13 years but feels like yesterday.

We wish we could talk to you, but we know we can’t, just the touches we get.

We miss that funny chuckle and you calling daddy “fat kid”.

We will never forget.

We miss that beautiful, mischievous smiling face and you picking on your brothers.

And being Down Syndrome; you had more love to give us than anyone we know.

Heaven must be a beautiful happy place with you in it.

So to our sweet, Devoted child.

Mommy and Daddy will see you some day.

Love and kisses

DAY, James – In remembrance of a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather who passed away May 3, 2012.

Though his smile is gone forever, And his hand we cannot touch, We have so many happy memories, Of the one we loved so much.

His memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part, God has him in His keeping, We have him in our hearts.

Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by wife Lois Children Linda, Bob, Eric, Gary and families

Twelve years ago, in 2003, I first heard about a kid who’d visited Prairie Oyster guitarist, Keith Glass, at his studio, then in Perth, wanting to record some of his songs. Even back then, Brock Zeman’s songs turned heads, including Keith’s who went on to produce and play on Brock’s first few CDs, also taking him out and exposing him to the real world of being a singer/songwriter for a couple of years.

My first hearing his tunes was in Sudbury at a conference hosted by what was then called Ontario Council of Folk Festivals (now Folk Music Ontario). In a late night gathering in my and Dave Balfour’s hotel room, attended by many of the who’s who of the Ontario folk music scene, guitars were being passed around. Wendell Ferguson was just starting to pen his now famous tongue in cheek, humourous ditties, sharing a few with us that cracked up the room. Veteran Brent Titcomb had his then young son, 16-yearold Liam there, also just starting out. Keith Glass and Russell deCarle of Prairie Oyster and Suzie Vinnick were there, to name but a few. When it became Brock’s turn, even with the beer flowing, he brought silence to that crammed room, his new peers recognizing this then 22 years young talent.

Shortly after that memorable night, Brock, backed by Keith started what has become a regular weekly gig at O’Reilly’s on Tuesday nights in Perth. Time moves on as did Keith. Slide

guitar whiz, previously of Fred J. Eaglesmith’s stable, Dan Walsh, took up with Brock for a few tours and a couple of CDs before his current musical partner, the unbelievable Blair Michael Hogan started sharing his true musical skills more fully with Brock to the ongoing delight of the few of us regulars who have now been never tiring of his new and old songs and CDs for years, on a weekly basis. I love watching first time listeners who wander in and take a listen to Brock and Blair play through story after story, seeing them be intrigued and usually proudly going home with a new CD. I’ve watched Brock grow up, from a talented kid to a very talented man, watched his writing become deeper and more crafted, listened to his musical adeptness continue to expand and impress me. His mother told me when Brock’s kindergarten teacher came to do a home interview before starting, Brock’s question to the teacher was “What do you think of Bruce Springsteen?” He was into music at an early age, sporting a “Mohawk” haircut throughout high school in Carleton Place. I’ve come to depend on my weekly attendance to his gigs being something I can count

on that lifts me up and keeps my soul sound. Between Brock’s lyrics and Blair’s playing I always feel I’m the luckiest guy in the world, hearing the quality of music I hear weekly from this duo.

Always working on something in his own studio, he never stops writing. He’s learned to play pedal bass to provide the benefits of the bottom end to their existing sound and allow Blair more room to create. Every once in a while, out bursts his next “baby”…the delivery of another of his “children”, his next creation…another CD. Brock Zeman’s been spinning musical yarns that are plum – straight in lifelike, telling shades for years. They’re vivid testimony to the incredibly diverse storyteller mind he carries within him. His latest CD – Pulling The Sword Out of the Devil’s Back – his eleventh, takes him to a whole new level as the enhanced musicality he’s wrapped around his tales adds an integrally new dimension to the story lines. Swirling strings and keys, tasty percussion and spicy guitar work puts a full palate out there, tales brimming in Technicolour, like first seeing the difference in regular and HDTV. From country roads and scenes, varied relationships, views of life, reality from diverse perspectives, his songs have more depth than can be realized first time through, which only enhances with each listen…A keeper!

Brock is heading on the road for the next month, a busy sched-

ule through the United States, including a stop in Nashville to play at the infamous Bluebird Cafe after gigs throughout Texas and all in-between States. I’m sure he’ll continue to gain new fans wherever he goes. Safe journey, Brock.

To be forever young is to either be blessed or cursed. Adeline walks a line somewhere in between.

She has been alive for more than a hundred years, but has not truly lived.

Adeline (Blake Lively) was born at the turn of the 20th century in San Francisco. She got married, gave birth to a daughter, and then five years later her husband died in an accident.

One night while driving home a freak snowstorm caused her car to crash into a frigid stream, and Adeline died. Then a bolt of lightning struck her car, and Adeline was brought back to life.

In that moment Adeline’s body was frozen at age 29, never to feel the effects of time again.

My Take mark haskins

She would spend the next eight decades hiding her secret by changing her identity every ten years. That is until she meets Ellis (Michiel Huismann).

Ellis sweeps Adeline off her feet, and she allows herself to consider the possibility of love.

Then she meets Ellis’ father William (Harrison Ford). In the 1960s Adeline and William spent a summer together. William would have proposed had Adeline not run away.

Now as she meets him again she is forced to decide between running as she always has, or risk everything and reveal the truth.

The Age of Adeline moves slowly and methodically. The

film uses dialogue sparingly yet eloquently. Each scene is richly and stunningly filmed. All of which creates this woman frozen in time. It shows us glimpses of her life and the events that have led her to lead a life of relative solitude. Then it just as carefully tears her world apart. This twist of fate, or science fiction, or whatever it is, creates a melancholy, and a sense of heart break that’s beautiful.

Ellis is a charismatic philanthropist. He is, for all intents and purposes, the perfect guy. In fact Ellis is the kind of character that’s so perfect he could easily fall into the trap of being a stock character with no depth. Michiel Huismann, however, gives the

character depth. With humour and charm he makes Ellis a match for a woman more than a century old.

The fluster and shock on Harrison Ford’s face when his character first sees Adeline is incredible. It’s a moment mixed with humour, and for Adeline’s character, horror. The scene moves from bewilderment to doubt, and shows just how good Ford is.

Blake Lively is captivating as Adeline. She gives a thoughtful and intimate performance.

She wears the weight of years so that you believe this woman has seen and done more than any other human alive, and she does it with a grace and beauty that defies time.

Despite its little science fiction twist, The Age of Adeline is like most love stories. There’s sorrow, there’s joy and there are two people attempting to defy the odds. This love story I thought was particularly well told.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Le t ters to the Editor

Pool needs to be more accessible to everyone, not just ‘slide users’: reader DEAR EDITOR,

As a local resident I am writing in regards to recent news that our Perth Pool could potentially be replacing the old slide with two new slides and the thought of a family change room has been brought forth. The article I reference appeared in the April 23, 2015 edition of The Perth Courier and was written by Desmond Devoy.

It has become glaringly obvious that the Town and Pool continue to overlook a growing need for the Perth Pool facility to be upgraded to 21st century accessibility standards. Currently the pool lacks any adequate space for an individual with high accessibility needs to change or use wash-

room facilities. Yes, the Perth Pool does have push button access to the main entrance, a ramp to get up to the pool deck, and two bathrooms along the ramp to the pool deck. Unfortunately, those two bathrooms are shared with the general public, are a tight squeeze for many wheel chairs, and do not allow for the individual to sit or lie down to be assisted for changing.

While it is nice to see that the pool is getting a new slide, but two, really? Could we not settle with one and use that money towards bringing the facility up to a more modern code level to adequately meet the needs of the physically challenged in our community?

Reader frustrated with flyer placement DEAR EDITOR,

I have never written a letter to the editor before but feel somehow compelled to write now.

I’ve given it a few days to see if my feelings have changed, but they have not.

On Saturday, April 25 in Perth during Festival of the Maples, I was walking by the parking lot to Blair’s Funeral Home where there was indeed a funeral in progress. To my shock and disbelief in the windshields of all the cars in the parking lot attending the service, were flyers tucked away under the windshield wipers advertising a Mother’s Day special at a Perth restaurant.

Perhaps I’m the only one but, I felt that this placement of advertisement flyers in such a place and time was totally inappropriate.

It may be that the carriers were young and inexperienced and not aware that perhaps this action would be intrusive to those grieving at this time. I understand that the restaurant business is a competitive one here in Perth but I hope that in the future the carriers of these flyers will have a better sense of protocol.

Sincerely, M. D. Bailey Perth

While it is also nice to see the suggestion of the family change room, this too does not address the overall need. Yes, there is definitely a need to allow families to change together. Especially for safety and privacy concerns. I am all for that. But there is also a substantial need for privacy, safety and dignity for the physically challenged in our community.

I was once asked if I would change my disabled child behind a curtain on the pool deck or change him on a table in the storage room 50 feet from the entrance. SAFE? DIGNIFIED? NO! I have also had to carry my son from the pool, soaking wet, to one of the front entrance bathrooms. Imagine if you will, carrying a 50lb+ child, who is soaking wet, while walking on a wet tile floor down a ramp to those front bathrooms. Then also imagine holding that child while you wait for one of those front bathrooms, especially after a lesson or public swim. I have had many people rush into the

bathrooms ahead of me just so they do not have to wait for me. Meanwhile they could have used the normal change rooms like everyone else.

I am sure that I am not alone in this view. I have had to make the difficult chose to no longer take my severely disabled son to the Perth Pool for swimming due to the inadequate accessibility within that facility. This is truly disheartening, as my son, and I am sure many other children and adults like him, absolutely loves swimming, even in his condition, and it provides him with such a great form of freedom and inclusion. I hope the town will take into consideration the upgrading of the Perth Pool, to have a barrier free, universal change room to allow ALL members of our community to enjoy and take part in such an important recreational activity.

Perth bids farewell to two senior staff members, Evans and Connell ljweir@metroland.com

Perth police board wants to set up policing model to prevent crime Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth’s Police Services Board (PSB) is hoping that it can make crime pay – in a good way.

PSB chair Stephanie Gray is hoping that she can successfully tap the Proceeds of Crime Front-Line Policing Grant program, to set up a unique policing project.

What had been called “The Hub Model” of policing, is now being called the Lanark County Situation Table.

The name change was necessary, because “there are so many hubs around,” from The Hub and Rebound in Almonte to The Hub Arts, Recreation and Athletic Association in Smiths Falls.

In presenting her proposal to Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, April 21, Gray pointed out that both the Lanark County OPP and the Smiths Falls Police Service would be working together with her board on this project, which seeks to get relevant social agencies working with the police to prevent crime, or at least prevent its spread.

Her proposal has already received five letters of support for the plan to help people identified as being at an “elevated risk of harm.” The table would “provide services so that it does not escalate,” said

Grey.

The application to the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services was submitted on April 1. Of the required $93,000 needed to run this program, Gray is requesting $59,862. They will receive the remaining $32,900 in in-kind support, such as office space.

While based in Perth and run under the town’s auspices, “the project would take into account the whole county,” said Gray, adding that “there is no cost,” to Perth.

“It’s bringing all agencies together,” Gray explained. “Diverting people at risk… to a different route.”

Mayor John Fenik was enthusiastic in his support of the idea.

“I’ve had experience with these things before and the funding is crucial,” said Fenik. He used an example whereby a neighbour calls the police on Mr. and Mrs. R, who both suffer from extreme mental health problems.

“They are (then) stuck in the emergency room for five hours,” said Fenik. Or, the police could work with the mental health agencies to give them more direct access to the services they need, and do not clog up an already busy hospital system.

“We save on our policing substantially.”

vice and more importantly for his level of fairness with all citizens in regard to the building permit process.

Evans was also thanked for her 15 years of service, primarily as the director of community services.

The chair of community services, Coun. Judy

Brown, has fond memories of Evans’ energy and enthusiasm for all recreation, tourism and economic development projects and wishes her the best in her new job.

“Mayor J. Fenik wishes both of these valuable employees the best in the future and thanks them for their contribution to the Town of Perth.”

Rideau Lakes Township is Daffodil Capital of Ontario It’s official: Rideau Lakes is the Daffodil Capital of Ontario On May 11 at 2 p.m. at the Rideau Lakes municipal office in Chantry (1439 County Road 8), Mayor Holman will read the Official Proclamation at a ceremony marking the culmination of over five years of intensive work by hundreds of residents.

The Daffodil Project – Making Rideau Lakes the Daffodil Capital of Ontario by 2015 was a Township-wide Beautification Committee initiative that began in 2010. Inspired by the residents of Freeland Road near Portland whose vision and hard work over many years has resulted in a hillside display each spring of thousands of blooms, local committees began purchasing and planting daffodils.

Volunteers in 17 local Beautification Committees: California, Chaffeys Lock, Chantry, Crosby, Delta, Elgin, Forfar, Harlem, Jones Falls, Lombardy, Morton, Newboro, North Crosby, Philipsville, Plum Hollow, Portland and Rideau Ferry have been planting bulbs each fall for the past five years. Hundreds of residents of the township have

purchased and planted thousands of daffodils on their own properties and along fences at the side of the roads. Owners of golf courses, stores and gas stations have added daffodils to their landscaping. Students have planted daffodils at their schools and seniors have planted daffodils all along their property lines.

Daffodils can be seen at cemeteries and churches, in gardens and at hamlet signs, at libraries and community centres, beside heritage buildings and along the roadsides.

More than 15,000 bulbs have been planted thus far. Daffodils are planted in the fall, in sunny locations, where the leaves can be left without mowing to gather nourishment for the following year. Once planted, daffodils will continue to bloom each spring and will multiply as new bulbs form underground.

Take a walk or a drive around Rideau Lakes during the next few weeks and enjoy the golden blooms. Send your photos to susan@twprideaulakes.on.ca.

And be sure to join us Monday afternoon, May 11, for the grand celebration - The Township of Rideau Lakes - Daffodil Capital of Ontario!

Spring is in the air and what better time to celebrate. Can it be possible that 50 years have already come and gone since South Crosby Public School in Elgin opened the doors to the community for the very first time?

We are inviting everyone to mark May 9, 2015 on your calendars.

The Reunion Committee and the staff and students of the South Crosby Public School are inviting you to travel down memory lane with them for a day of fun and celebration.

All of us would love it that you could drop in and celebrate with us. We are calling all alumni, parents, principles, trustees, bus drivers, volunteers, parent councils past and present etc. to come and join us.

The main celebration takes place at 1 p.m. in the school gym with our very own former principal and historian Doug Bond as our emcee for a trip down memory lane, from recognition of special people in this journey, a little of the history of the school, some fashions, toys, technology and special music from our very own former and present students.

If afternoon entertainment is not your thing, well Norm Patterson, former student has offered to run a nine hole golf tournament at Rideau Lakes Golf Course at $25 for nine holes and a cart.

If interested call Norm at 613-272- 0189 – weather permitting.

If bowling is your thing, Elgin Bowling Lanes has opened their doors to free bowling from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., shoes

included. No need to call ahead.

The Red Brick School House has opened their doors and what an opportunity to step back in time, the Co-op Nursery School at Elgin United Church have been the gateway to South Crosby, so why not stop in and reconnect.

If technology, books, family trees the Elgin Library is inviting you in as well.

The grand finally for the day festivities is a dinner and dance at Rideau District with music until 12 p.m. Roy Bressee, a local disc jockey, has agreed to mix up the music and make the night to remember. Dinner supplied by Neil Kudrinko. Menu is full course ham and scalloped potatoes. Prices are $15 for dinner and dance. (Other prices available.) Deadline for ticket sales to supper is May 4, at 4 p.m. Call now, we do not want to cancel and anyone to miss out.

Social hour starts at 4:30 p.m., dinner at 6 p.m., dancing at 7:30 p.m. for all those who decide to bring the whole family to celebrate not only South Crosby’s 50year reunion, but Mother’s Day as well.

Please pass the word and call the school at 613-359-5933 for tickets or Cathy Ryan (Merriman) at 613-2722026 and follow the updates on South Crosby Public School website.

Henderson earns third at Swinging Skirts LPGA event

LAUNDROMAX

After near win in California, Smiths Falls teen returns to LPGA action this weekend in Texas STAFF

Brooke Henderson has officially arrived on the LPGA. She may not have won the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic but the talented 17-year-old golfer came within a whisker of capturing her first title on the top professional women’s tour in the world.

Playing in the final group with tour veteran Morgan Pressel of the United States and Min Seo Kwak of South Korea, and with world number one Lydia Ko nipping at her heels, the Smiths Falls native kept her game together throughout Sunday’s final round at the Lake Merced Golf Club in San Francisco, Calif., falling just one stroke off the pace by the 72nd hole.

Regardless, she earned her best-ever finish on the LPGA, solo third place with a four-day total of 281 (-7). She set the tournament’s single-day scoring record on Friday with a sizzling sevenunder 65 after opening with two-under 70. She closed with rounds of 72 and 74.

In a media scrum following the tournament, Henderson said she learned a lot from the day.

“Just the whole atmosphere of being in the final group on Sunday was amazing. I didn’t play my best, but it was fun just to be there and be in contention most of the day,” she said.

“Just couple shots back of Morgan. On the 18th hole, putt to tie and get into the playoff, which would’ve been really nice, but a third (place) finish is definitely a confidence booster moving forward.”

Coming into the final round with her first 54hole lead, Henderson struggled at the start and fell behind Pressel following bogeys on the first and third holes. But she bounced back, as she so often does, with a birdie on the sixth and made

Brooke Henderson narrowly missed her first LPGA win on Sunday. the turn in second place, two strokes back.

She lost two strokes with back-to-back bogeys on 12 and 13 but again responded with a brilliant eagle on the par-5 14th hole, the second time she’s done that this week. After landing in a deep green-side bunker with her second shot, Henderson blasted out, hoping to get it close. She did better than that with the ball rolling straight into the heart of the cup.

Henderson said she didn’t see it go in.

“No, I couldn’t see anything from down there. It was down there pretty deep. I was just trying to give myself a good look at birdie, and next thing I know the crowd was going wild,” she said. “It was a nice surprise.”

Henderson’s brilliance brought her to -8 but a final bogey on the 15th dropped her back to -7.

“Would’ve been nice to keep it at minus 8 for the remainder of the holes, but unfortunately

not,” she said.

Pressel struggled down the stretch but hung on to reach a playoff with Lydia Ko at -8. Ko, who turned 18 on Friday, eventually captured the title with a birdie on the second playoff hole to take the first place prize of $300,000. Pressel earned $182,956 as runner-up.

In holding on for third place, Henderson earned by far her best payday as a professional – US$132,721. In the process, she’s also earned huge respect after holding off a strong field including former Major winners Shanshan Feng, Stacy Lewis, and So Yeon Ryu. “I definitely won on a lot of experience,” Henderson said. “I can gain a lot from that moving forward. Hopefully I’ll be in the position that I was in earlier this morning many times in the future and I’ll be able to take everything that happened today and be able to learn from it.”

Back in action this weekend Following her impressive showing in San Francisco, Henderson hopped on a plane and headed to Irving, Texas to Monday qualify for the LPGA’s Volunteers of America North Texas Shootout. The one-day tournament stretched over to Tuesday morning due to bad weather but when the dust had cleared, the Smiths Falls teen had earned one of the two available spots with a one-under 70, nailing a 10-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to emerge from a four-way playoff.

Following this, she said she is also gearing up for a ShopRite LPGA Classic in Galloway, New Jersey May 29-31 and the ManuLife LPGA Classic in Cambridge, Ont. June 4 to 7, both of which she’s received a sponsor’s exemption.

May 15 – June 13 As Bette Davis famously said, "Growin’ older ain’t for sissies."

The Diversicare Grand Masters Provincial Curling Championship was recently played at the Thornhill Golf and Country Club. A team from the Perth Curling Club skipped by Merv Roberts with Al Chaplin, third; Fred Brownlee, second; Murray Hunt, lead, won the third event. The Grand Masters is a curling competition for men and women 70 years of age and older. There were 62 teams originally entered with playoffs to determine 16 Ontario Curling Association’s Zone winners. Then, these 16 teams played in the Provincial finals.

A team from Trenton was the Provincial Champion, and three teams had only one loss, the Roberts team being one of them. Hunt said he was proud of the team and their accomplishments.

Flood of Food collects 770 items from Perth schools

The Perth Rotary Club’s Youth Flood of Food finished their fourth week on the road visiting 10 local schools in the Perth area. Each week is a new pair of schools who participate in the six-week food drive.

Benefiting food banks in Perth and Lanark, Friday’s offerings were slated to arrive at the Good Food Bank at the Table Community Food Centre.

The pick-up crew’s first stop was at Queen Elizabeth Public School where students had been working hard to collect and donate 450 non-perishable food.

Students also had displays of colourful posters,

drawn by the students of Mrs. Robilliard and Mme Pratt’s classes, to encourage participation. The students also created jingles and collected the donated food items everyday from each class.

It was The Stewart Public School first year to participate in the food drive and they rocked it!

The students collected a whopping 320 items.

Grade 6 students Tessa Zander and Rilee Erickson took a leadership role and visiting each class, speaking about the why the school was hosting a food drive, the Good Food Bank’s most needed food items and collecting food donations.
