News – The adult day program at the North Lanark Community Health Centre celebrated a decade of help, respite, and friendship this past Monday. “Imagine, 10 years we have been here,â€? said Louise Noble, executive director of the Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark County, which runs the program, in space donated by the centre. Pointing to program participants sitting along the wall, she noted “these ladies don’t look old enough to be here for 10 years!â€? While there was plenty of birthday cake to go around on May 5, Noble noted that the program offers more than just socialization. “Sometimes, people need support, whether it is with family or you need it yourself, you just need someone to talk to,â€? said Noble. “It’s not just for the person who is ill. The caregiver, you need to look after yourself too.â€? She also commended the decade-long partnership between the centre and the society. “It says something about the health centre, that they care about the people they look after,â€? said Noble. Education coordinator Robin Hull reiterated the point that “we are here to help. We are here to support. I am just a phone call away‌if you need some one-to-one help.â€? Hull added that the society has support groups, a couples group for those with early Alzheimer disease, as well as groups for caregivers and families. Group member Gerald Griffith thanked the hard work done by volunteers Gwen Everson and Betty Closs, who have been with the program since the beginning in 2004. “They have been an integral part of this program, since the very beginning,â€? Griffith said. “They cook the most wonderful meals, bake the most delicious cookies,â€?

Walking down the hall on a Monday, walking past the program room, “there’s fiddle music going on, there is bingo going on, it is good social interaction.â€? He added that the program can be part of respite for caregivers, but it also “gives the‌patients a change and listen to participants, he said. “They assist in every of environment.

United Counties to begin trial roadside weed control program from May-June

Police officials ask if regional policing desired Brockville Police’s acting chief, Scott Fraser and King Yee Jr, chair of the city’s Police Services Board, gave a presentation to the Leeds Grenville Committee of the Whole to see if the 10 member municipalities within the United Counties are interested in a regional policing model. Fraser and Yee provided a background on how the City of Brockville began last fall investigating the possibility of regional policing. They are currently awaiting the province’s costing model. The intent is to provide a service that is cost effective with partnerships designed to share resources. Yee asked which municipalities would be interested in participating and whether is it logis-

based on guidelines and research conducted by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and approved for use by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. A presentation to Counties Committee of the Whole by Forest Manager, Geoff McVey outlined how the 2013 program, including the use of six mowers, slowed the growth but didn’t eradicate wild parsnip and dog strangling vine. Timed mowing was used on wild parsnip and herbicides were sprayed on the invasive dog strangling vine to reduce seed development. McVey said mowing alone is not controlling the spread of the weeds and in some cases it is spreading the seeds. Weed control is also a public safety issue as wild parsnip can cause severe allergic reactions and the vine has a negative effect on maple syrup production, woodlots, agriculture and threatens biodiversity.

News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held April 24 and the Committee of the Whole session April 8. A trial-run weed spraying program is being introduced in two Leeds Grenville townships in a bid to control the spread of noxious weeds. The trial is part of the overall United Counties 2014 Roadside Weed Control Program to ensure clear sight lines along roadways and intersections and for the control of dangerous and invasive weeds. Roadside herbicide spraying will be on all Counties roads outside of settlements in Augusta and Edwardsburgh-Cardinal townships, with the exceptions on Leeds Grenville Roads 2 and 45. Residents who don’t wish to participate can request a “No Spray” sign from the Counties. Signs must be put in a prominent place on lawns and ditches. Areas sprayed will be from the road shoulder to the fence line. Spraying will be done from May 27 to June 20. Any stretches where landowners are mowing and maintaining their ditches will not be sprayed. For general inquiries and additional information or to find out more about picking up a “No Spray” sign call 613-342-3840, ext. 2413. Additional information will be available on the Counties website at www.leedsgrenville. com. Public notification will also be placed in area newspapers and online news sources in the coming weeks. The effectiveness of the herbicide trial will be reviewed to determine if the program should be expanded into other local municipalities next year. The type of herbicide being used will be

ernment is proposing a new mandatory provincial pension plan – the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan – that would be cost-effective, responsible and help Ontario workers build a more secure retirement future. The plan would build on the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), and expand pension coverage initially to more than three million working Ontarians who currently rely on the CPP, Old Age Security and their own savings for retirement income. The government is focused on investing in people today to provide fairness and security for all Ontarians. The 2014 Ontario budget includes the following measures: • Continuing to reform

for large, growing businesses and a tailored conservation program that helps small businesses and entrepreneurs ease their energy bills. Transportation and infrastructure Ontario’s investments have helped make the province one of the best places in the world to live, work and invest. Since 2003, Ontario has invested nearly $100 billion in hospitals, schools and transportation infrastructure, supporting an average of 100,000 jobs each year in construction and related industries. The province’s projected population growth will result in significant demand for all types of infrastructure. To meet this challenge, the 10year plan proposes over $130 billion in infrastructure investments to create jobs now, spur productivity and help the province grow and prosper, including: • Dedicating funding to make nearly $29 billion available over the next 10 years for transportation infrastructure, public transit and other priority infrastructure projects – $15 billion for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and nearly $14 billion for outside the GTHA. • Providing more than $11 billion over the next 10 years for elementary and secondary education infrastructure. • Planning to invest over $11.4 billion in major hospital expansion and redevelopment projects over the next 10 years. This is in addition to almost $700 million over the next 10 years to address deferred maintenance in hospitals.

News – The provincial government is moving forward with a 10-year plan for the economy focused on investing in people, building modern infrastructure, and supporting a dynamic and innovative business climate. These actions will build opportunity and security, and put the province’s businesses and people in a position to create new jobs today. The government will continue to manage growth in spending and will balance the budget by 2017-18, while making strategic investments in key public services and to help grow the economy. Highlights of the plan include: Jobs Despite a challenging global economic environment, the economy continues to grow and create jobs, providing Ontarians with opportunities today and to move into new careers and higher-paying jobs. The next steps the government will take include: • Establishing a new 10year, $2.5 billion Jobs and Prosperity Fund that will improve Ontario’s ability to attract significant business investments, strengthen Ontario’s strategic sectors and support the province’s future economic growth. • Investing $295 million over two years for the Ontario Youth Jobs Strategy, which gives young people the opportunity to gain a foothold in the job market. Since September 2013, it has already helped more than 10,000 young people gain work experience and find jobs. • Expanding the reach of Ontario’s exports to fastgrowing emerging markets to help many small and mediumsized businesses grow and create jobs.

Carleton Place musician finalist in 2014 Canadian Country Music Association program Arts – The Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) has revealed the top six finalists for the 2014 CCMA Discovery Program and included on that list is Carleton Place’s own Jordan McIntosh. Now in its second year, this national initiative was created to educate and support Canadian country music artists in their pursuit of a career in the music industry. “Once again, we received submissions for the CCMA Discovery Program from across the country,” said Don Green, CCMA president; “which means country music is alive and strong in all parts of Canada.” More than 180 applications were received, up 27 per cent from last year. “We’re thrilled with the response to the program, which we have meticulously built as an invaluable experience for Canadian country music artists wishing to excel their careers,” he said.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Honesty always the best policy, says reader DEAR EDITOR: It seems that in this busy world today, we don’t take the time to say thanks, where thanks is due. I was parked in the parking lot of a local grocery store, one Saturday late in March. To my surprise, as I was loading my groceries into my car, and elderly gentleman approached me saying he was just in the process of leaving me a note of apology. The note read “My apologies – Neighbour, I think I clipped your left front fender, please call me when you get a moment” and left his name and telephone number on the note he handed me. When I returned home, I further inspected my car and did notice

a couple of marks on my car, where he had indicated that he may have bumped my vehicle. When I called him to discuss the incident, he was very apologetic and offered to pay for any damage. I received a quote from a local body shop and let the gentleman know the cost for the repair. Within a day the repair had been prepaid at the local shop. For your honesty and stepping up to make things right, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Cindy McIntosh Clayton

COMMENTARY

Local hockey at its best Editorial – Junior hockey may have wound down in many communities across the county, but fans have the opportunity to cheer on a local team having an extraordinary season. The Junior A Carleton Place Canadians won the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) championship back on April 20, the first in its five-year history, earning a berth to Fred Page Cup Eastern Canadian championship tournament in Saint-Jerome, Quebec. They were undefeated heading into the final game versus the host Saint-Jerome Panthers and remained that way, winning 3-1 on May 4. They brought the Fred Page Cup home to Carleton Place later that evening. The Canadians arrived home to a rousing welcome with more than 100 fans cheering them on as they descended from the team’s bus; an experience that captain Elias Ghantous said sent “tingles up and down my spine.” These types of things make a big difference in how a team performs. Having Lanark County behind them, gives the Canadians even more ammunition to perform well on a national scale. The Canadians season doesn’t end here, though, as this paper makes its way to area homes, the team will be on its way to Vernon, British Columbia to represent eastern Canada in the national RBC Cup tournament. The five-team competition kicks off this Saturday, May 10. No matter which team you traditionally root for, it’s hard to argue that the Canadians don’t deserve this good fortune. They worked hard throughout the season, remaining atop the CCHL leader board and have only continued to grow stronger during the playoffs. Hockey fever is infectious throughout the county and as the last area junior team still on the ice, residents should be cheering on the home team as they continue to make their mark on the local hockey history books. Keep up to date by visiting www.hockeycanada.ca.

Spring cleaning brought new life into Mary’s childhood home Lifestyle – The signs were everywhere. Our old log house had finally taken on the look of spring, leading into summer. Although any visitor coming into the house would not be aware of the difference, it was very obvious to us who lived there. Outside, the very last smidgen of snow had long since gone. The foot path from the summer kitchen to the barn was now dry, and the mud that followed the melting snow had hardened like it did every spring. Inside, everywhere, I could see the changes that had taken us from one season to the next. Mother had pulled out the strips of rags and old wool socks that had been crammed around every window downstairs to keep out the winter drafts. Of course, these weren’t thrown away. No, they were washed, hung out on the fence to dry, and then rolled in newspapers and tucked under an upstairs bed at the ready for the next winter. And the windows, grimy from the long months when it was impossible to clean them, were shining from the bath they took of water and vinegar.

The windows were ready for the warm weather. When the cold fall weather struck months before, braided mats had been scattered all through the house...one hefty one rolled and kept tight against the back door to keep out the drafts... many others put here and there, in the hope they would help keep our feet warm from the icy cold floors that were impossible to heat up no matter how raging was the Findlay Oval. And joy, oh joy, the navy blue fleece lined bloomers had one last washing on laundry day, and they too would be tucked away. Of course, they were no longer the deep navy of a few months ago when they were fresh out of the parcel ordered from Eaton’s catalogue...now they had faded to a pale purple, attesting to the dozens of times they had been washed over the winter. The bloomers would join the suits of long underwear and undershirts helping to keep us warm on long walks to school, and they would be packed in the hump-backed trunk that sat under the west window in the bedroom I shared with my sister Audrey.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Of course Father insisted on wearing his undershirt, long sleeves and all, under his work shirt long into the summer. He gave up his combinations only when Mother snatched them off the chair by his bed when he was sleeping, and when the heat of the summer had the rest of us panting. There were no clothes closets in that old log house, and no storage cupboards, and no attic to store things away one season to the next, and I was always amazed how Mother found space to tuck things away, sight unseen. Gradually winter outerwear would be hung on the clothesline, or thrown over the wire fence in the back yard to get a good airing...always a chore for a warm sunny day.

amined by Mother, buttons replaced, seams sewn and spots removed, would be packed into a big cardboard box scrounged from Briscoe’s General Store. Between each piece of clothing, Mother would tuck in a few mothballs. When the box was put in the boys’ bedroom, the whole upstairs smelled of the mothballs. The Findlay Oval would yet be moved out into the summer kitchen. Father thought that idea was just about the craziest notion he ever heard in his life. And as soon as Mother got the itch to “turn the whole house upside down” as he called it, he began lamenting about the huge job ahead that took up the better part of a day...a day better spent on the back fields. “Three generations of Hanemans have lived with the cook stove in the kitchen 12 months of the year,” he’d lament. But Mother insisted the big lumbering Oval be moved to the summer kitchen...rolled out by every hand in the house on two logs, the stove pipes taken down, repainted and a smaller portion of pipe poked through a hole in the summer kitchen wall.

But the biggest change to me, and the one I looked forward to most, was when the parlour would be open for the summer. All winter the door which separated it from the kitchen was closed tightly, a thick braided rug jammed along the bottom of the door to keep out the cold air. You could see your breath in the parlour if you had to go in to get the bible off the twig table, or the picture album. It was almost like the parlour was no longer part of the house. And now the door was flung wide, the one window opened to get rid of the musty smell, and the house was ready for summer! The last job was done. Spring was upon us, and soon the heat of the summer would penetrate the logs, and after working so hard to keep the house warm over the winter, Mother’s next challenge would be to keep the heat outside, and capture inside what cool air she could.

Musician April Verch to play, dance at local Mother’s Day concert Arts – One of the Ottawa Valley’s most popular musicians in returning to the area for a Mother’s Day concert. Internationally renowned fiddler, stepdancer and singer/songwriter April Verch will break away from a tour of the US to play a concert this Sunday, May 11 at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham. “I am so looking forward to getting home to the Ottawa Valley, if only for one night, and performing at ‘home’ as well,� said Verch. The event, a fundraiser for the Anglican Parish of Pakenham, will begin at 2 p.m. The $25 tickets are available in advance at Nicholson’s, the Pakenham General Store, Darvesh Gas and Grocery (Kinburn), or by calling Sean Watson at 613-624-5069. The April Verch Band - rounded out by bassist and clawhammer banjo player Cody Walters and guitarist Hayes Griffin, who has a Masters in jazz improv from the New England Conservatory, is an energetic, virtuosic, tradition-celebrating outfit. The band’s dramatic grand finale involves Verch fiddling and stepdancing, often executing two entirely different intricate rhythmic patterns at once. Verch, who is in the second decade of her musical career, has won many awards and competition and represented Canada’s fiddling tradition by performing in the opening ceremonies at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. “The accolades are important and noteworthy and special to me,� she says. “But what I think is most impressive to me is that I’ve been doing this full time since 2000. We make a living playing music that we love and it touches other people. “I feel like we’re extremely lucky to do that, but also I work really hard, not just at the music, but at every aspect of our career, to make that happen. That we find a way to make it work, and have had that kind of longevity, that’s impressive to me.� Verch is getting rave reviews for her ninth album, Bright Like Gold. One review says it “captures a woman who’s fleshed out her identity and is in full command of her gifts, a woman who’s grown from a prodigy into an enduring artist - one of music’s most unforgiving public transitions - with grace and grit to spare.� The album features an impressive range of material from the trio. Verch is fluent in folk traditions, the

Ottawa Valley ones she was born into as well as the American ones she later discovered. She reinvigorates fiddle tunes like those featured in the Canadian medley ‘Dusty Miller’, ‘Fiddle Fingers’ and ‘Grizzly Bear’ and the Appalachian medley ‘Edward in the Treetop’, ‘Yellow Jacket’ and ‘Quit That Tickling Me’. There are also originals on the album like her instrumental waltz ‘Morris & Boris’ and country courting number ‘The Only One’. What makes the latter song even more special is that Bluegrass Hall of Famer Mac Wiseman’s voice is on it, and he’s not the only guest of note. Premier old-time fiddler Bruce Molsky joins Verch for some handsome dual fiddling on ‘Evening Star Waltz’ and bluegrass banjo icon Sammy Shelor appears on ‘Davy Davy’ and ‘Folding Down the Sheets’.

News – Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier (Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington) welcomed last week’s news that Ontario’s Liberal government lost the confidence of the House of Commons. “After $1 billion cancellations of gas plants to save Liberal seats, people losing their lives due to the incompetence at ORNGE and tens of billions of dollars in failed promises, reck-

less spending and jobs leaving Ontario, Ontario citizens are going to have the chance to put Ontario back on the road to recovery,” he said. NDP leader Andrea Horwath’s announcement that they won’t be supporting this year’s Liberal budget comes as a surprise. Despite the wiping of documents relating to the gas plant scandal from government computers, the high and increasing

cost of hydro electricity and a lack of jobs in Ontario, the Ontario NDP have supported every single confidence motion in the Liberal government since 2011. Hillier will continue to put the people of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington first and bring Ontario back on the road to recovery. Submitted by the office of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier.

Killing too many deer proves costly for Delta man News – A Delta man has pleaded guilty and been fined a total of $3,000 for huntingrelated offences. Gordon H. White was fined $1,000 for killing and abandoning two white-tailed deer and allowing their flesh to become unfit for human consumption; $1,000 for obstructing a conservation officer, and $1,000 for unlawfully killing more than one white-tailed deer. His hunting licence was also suspended for four years. The court heard that on Nov. 13, 2013, White shot at three deer while hunting and failed to determine if any had been killed. White subsequently

discovered he had killed all three deer. Since he only had one game seal, he attempted to acquire another game seal from local hunters but was declined. White abandoned two of the dead deer and affixed his game seal to a third – a mature buck – which he hung from a tree located on the property he was hunting on. The next day, a conservation officer inspected the buck to ensure compliance. An investigation revealed that White had killed three deer, two of which he abandoned and allowed to spoil. The buck was seized during the investigation and

was forfeited to the Crown. Justice of the Peace Raymond J. Switzer heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Brockville, April 2. For further information on hunting regulations, please consult the Hunting Regulations Summary available at ontario.ca/hunting. To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (8477667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Submitted by they Ministry of Natural Resources.

Local fashionistas strut their stuff on CP catwalk Arts – The Carleton Place Spring Home and Garden Show brought a little bit of the Milan runway to the upper hall of the Carleton Place arena on Saturday, April 12, as local fashion powerhouses Nancy’s Impressions and The Dress Shop brought out their brightest designs, and most stunning models, in an effort to quote the late, great Mickey Rooney, “put on a show.” Clockwise from top left: Candace Burn is a rainbow vision in her dress from Nancy’s Impressions; Flora Neave twirls an accessory around her nick, seen here in mid-twirl, during the portion of the event for Nancy’s Impressions; Michelle Jordan strikes a defiant pose in her sunny, golden outfit from Nancy’s Impressions; Kelly Hobbs strikes a pose, showing how the fabric falls and flows from her, during the segment devoted to The Dress Shop; Candace Burn is a multimedia sensation, who can get her sunny dress to twirl on any media platform, including this old-media one, in a dress from Nancy’s Impressions; and Stephanie McEvoy shows that a little grey dress can be just as pretty as a little black dress during the fashion show segment for The Dress Shop.

Throwaway society is damaging our environment Lifestyle – I knew we were in deep trouble on this planet during a visit to Scotland in 1999. We were on a coach (bus) tour of the picturesque Highlands. As our driver slowly guided the huge vehicle through valleys (glens) and hills I had good views at times from my window seat. What I saw startled and horrified me. Garbage – trash of all shapes and sizes. It was scattered hither and yon. The junk was everywhere! That fact put the brakes on my false impression that the Scottish Highlands are beautiful, uninhabited and largely unspoiled. Lightly inhabited? Yes. Picturesque? Definitely – in many places at least. Unspoiled? Absolutely not! People are responsible for that. Members of our “Throwaway Society� who dispose of waste materials everywhere and anywhere, with absolutely no thought about what their thoughtless, deliberate actions do to the landscape. Or more to the point, how negative this problem is for the environment. I’m sure you have seen the terrible photographs of wildlife that inadvertently run afoul of materials man discards. Deer with plastic rings caught around their necks. Ducks and geese with fishing line wrapped around their bodies or caught in their webbed feet. Sadly the situation is worsening. The amount of material discarded in public places increases with every passing day. Recently, during the long and difficult search for that ill-fated Malaysian jetliner, the seriousness of this problem was further underlined. What search aircraft thought might have been debris from the missing aircraft was, on closer inspection, found to be masses of floating garbage. A few weeks ago I heard a radio report which offered startling details about the volume of trash floating in the world’s oceans. Vast quantities of garbage often mesh together to create huge, floating islands. The majority of these islands, which are often the size of several football fields, are comprised of our favourite disposable item, plastic bags. People on cruise ships are sometimes stunned as they watch the huge vessels plow through a seemingly endless field of junk, bobbing along on its way to nowhere in particular. Some of it will eventually wash up on land and will have to be dealt with. But with approximately 70 per cent of the earth’s surface covered by water it is probable much of it will continue to wash around until it encounters more flotsam and jetsam and forms into larger floating trash fields. Here in eastern Ontario a reluctant spring has finally arrived. When the huge amount of snow on the ground melted the most prominent feature exposed was garbage. Some of the sights I saw in our community and this district were outrageous. Trash of every description was everywhere. So many of our fellow citizens have absolutely no respect for our property, our streets and sidewalks, public parks or the community we live in.

JEFF MAGUIRE

Like so many villages, towns and cities across the country, Carleton Place where we live has an annual “Pitch-In� campaign (it was held two weeks ago). It’s part of a long running national clean-up initiative. Residents are encouraged to clean up their own properties as well as the streets, sidewalks and other public spaces nearest their homes. Obviously some people jump in and do a terrific job. Most don’t! And judging by the amount of garbage blowing around here (and most places) the majority of us contribute to the problem instead of helping to alleviate it. Personally I hate to see discarded refuse anywhere on our property. I make a point of picking it up as soon as I see it. I do the same on the street in front of our house. To me it is embarrassing to leave garbage sitting on the street in close proximity to our place. Yes, it’s annoying that people drop their trash in public. But if I ignore it, I feel I’m to blame somehow. I wish more people would adopt this attitude. If everyone did their part then this community – your community – would be a cleaner, prettier place to live. Better public education is one approach. It won’t work for many obviously. However, every person who changes their habits and decides to join those who are properly disposing of waste materials is one more important convert. For whatever reasons, many people don’t think twice about throwing materials of all kinds on to the street. Sure, maybe it is just a gum wrapper, tissue or plastic bag. But as I have already clearly illustrated one becomes two, two becomes three and before you know it there is junk everywhere. Why can’t drivers save the garbage left from their latest trip to the drive through window? It’s just as easy to toss it in your trash receptacle at home as it is to roll down the window and deliberately discard material on the street or along the highway. How thoughtless and how destructive to engage in such behaviour! For far too many it is straight out the window with everything they don’t want. I recently heard a radio host say that municipalities “should increase the fines for littering.� A good idea, on the surface! But it fails to address the practical realities. Most municipal bylaws are not enforced unless someone complains. Besides, it seems unlikely that bylaw enforcement staff (they are thin on the ground) will spend much time chasing litter bugs. Outside of more public education I admit that finding solutions to this situation is difficult. But somehow we have to try and appeal to people to exercise some common sense and consider the consequences of thoughtless and often destructive behaviour such as littering.

clear aquamarine. The owner stressed a standing rule at the location. Everyone who visits is expected to take their garbage with them or deposit it in the appropriate containers so it can be disposed of properly. Underwater footage taken around and near the marina showed a pristine sea floor. No empty bottles and cans, no discarded objects of any kind. Very different from the rivers and lakes in our own region where, during the warm weather months a careful survey is required before anyone enters the water with bare feet. Broken glass and sharp objects are everywhere. It’s all completely unnecessary and totally within our power as a society to eliminate. But unless people’s attitudes change, a relatively easy solution appears unachievable. It’s a sad commentary on our throwaway society!

Everyone’s problem

Reflections

Attitude adjustment Countless people, in this country and around the world, need an attitude adjustment. Of course those who take no pride in themselves are unlikely to take much pride in their property, their surroundings or their community. Clearly the best way we can address this growing problem is to make people realize how damaging littering really is. How cumulative it is! There’s no question this can be accomplished in part, if there is a will to address the matter. To me it is shameful. Therefore shaming the “perpetrators� seems a logical approach. Everyone who sees this as an issue needs to speak out when they see others engaging in such behaviour. Peer pressure, when it is applied reasonably, can be a powerful tool. Recently I watched a travel show on television which highlighted a marina on an idyllic cay (island) in the Caribbean. The sea at the location was a beautiful, crystal

UCDSB establishes new superintendent of district alignment, accountability position News – A new superintendent’s position will allow the Upper Canada District School Board to meet its information needs to more effectively align with organizational changes that were announced by director David Thomas to the board of trustees on April 23.

Community – Each year in early June for the past 43 years there has been a large bicycle tour through our region organized by the Ottawa Bicycle Club. This year, the event will see just over 2,000 cyclists on some of our local roads Saturday, June 7 and Sunday, June 8. The event has become so popular that there are cyclists from all regions of Ontario, eastern Quebec and Montreal) plus many from New York State. Most of the riders will be with groups of friends working together on a long (180 km) ride. There will be no mass start for the event and consequently there cyclists will be spread out along the route in small groups. They are not racing but merely trying to complete the challenge of two days of strenuous, but exciting and picturesque touring in the Rideau Lakes area. The entire route will be pa-

Perkins He arrived at LAWS as a matted, emaciated, very sick cat. It took a lot of love, care and vet visits to bring this gorgeous Main coon mix boy to good health. He has most of his soft fur back and looks like a mini-lion. Perkins is ready to purr on your lap or a soft pillow.

Valentino This handsome boy came to LAWS with a large laceration above his eye that got severely infected. Each day he is improving and would love some help from somebody to help scratch his itchy new eyebrow. He is clear of infection but still needs to wear his head cone for a while longer to prevent him from open up the stitches. He loves a warm cloth Featured pets on his healing wounds or a soft scratch Cats This week we like to feature two cats on his head. Valentino is very affectionate and who, after a lot of TLC and visits to the veterinarian persevered through their likely is just the lap cat you’ve been looking for. Please come to LAWS to initial obstacles. meet this boy. Featured dogs Pongo The top of his handsome head looks as if it was dipped in dark caramel, and his nose is boyishly freckled. This former stray, once so fearful of people, has come a long way in a short time. He is slowly learning some basic commands and how to wear a leash. He now walks freely between kennels and has even begun to play.

Unfamiliar with affection and attention, young Pongo not only enjoys it, he’s started to actively seek it out. A moderate to high-energy hound, he barely barks, is sweet natured and trusting and willing to please. He takes his treats gently and shows, oh so gently, how eager he is to learn – everything. All Pongo needs now is a special forever home, where he can continue to learn, to grow and to know, at last, how it feels to be loved. Pongo and Charlie could be adopted together or separately.

Charlie Could there be a hound more handsome than this tri-colour hound with the sweet, sad expression, standing so still in the snow? Meet Charlie, the gentle companion of Pongo, who also knew little either about people, parameters or playtime. Who, like Pongo, has also grown in leaps and bounds. With his big heart open to the experience of loving and learning, he is now more trusting of his humans and more than happy to prove it by pleasing them. Only slightly more vocal than Pongo, Charlie is equally as bright and equally as motivated in making up for all he has missed. All he wants is the chance. Like his best hound buddy, he is looking for that chance with a forever family who will patiently and lovingly steer him in the right direction. The one that is marked: ”potential reached.” Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is located on Glenview Road, just off Highway 43, about 2 kilometres west of Smiths Falls.

More PEP for adults with new program at Elliot Street Clinic By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

News – When a community comes together for the greater good, big things happen. That’s the case for Drs. Bob and Babs vanNoppen who recognized their vision on May 1 when the official opening of the new Perth Enrichment Program for Adults took place at their Elliot Street Clinic in Perth. They had a list – a long list – of people to thank for making it all possible. “You might want to fill your glasses,” Bob said, as he hoisted his glass in a toast to his wife, Babs, to kick start the accolades during their grand opening and tours of the new facility. From their families and friends, to neighbours and fellow doctors, the architect, the builders, the staff… all played key roles in the development of this registered charity that will help seniors in their later years live more active lifestyles. Babs was skeptical at first when her husband and Suzanne Rintoul, a nurse at the clinic, began talking about the concept. She has since changed her way of thinking, and was the first to

congratulate her husband on his vision, his dedication and his love of his patients. “I was a bit of a naysayer and a doubter,” she told those gathered at the clinic to wish them well on their new adventure. “He is a courageous man, and has spent hours of planning and sketching and he carried on. I want to thank him for his vision.” Bob explained that his reason for developing the PEP program for seniors was that he felt there was a need in Perth and Smiths Falls communities to help care for and focus on helping them stay healthy and live at home longer.

them to come have some social time and enjoy the company of others in the community.” The program is operating two days a week currently, and soon a men’s program will be added on Fridays. There is a variety of activities to do, including day trips, which Whaley says are popular. There is a nutritional assessment program and instruction, physical assessment and activation, cognitive assessment and activities that improve function and emotional stimulation and support. Exercise and fall prevention training, health optimization interventions, advocacy for seniors, medication monitoring and family caregiver leave are also available for participants. The program is designed for older adults, living independently who require physical, social, cognitive or emotional support, Whaley says. The fee is $30 per day and that includes therapeutic care, refreshments and a hot lunch.

ABOUT PEP The program is an adult day program that supports and enriches the functionality of older adults through individual planning, said Paula Whaley, PEP’s executive director. “We have many programs to enhance senior living so they can come for the day. It’s therapeutic, evidence-based programming with goals that are attainable for individuals,” she said. “Many For more information visit seniors feel lonely and isolated in www.morepep.ca or call Paula their homes… this is a chance for Whaley at 613-201-7172.

News – Carolina Suites opened its doors to the community Thursday, April 24, on phase three of construction that included 55 new suites, bringing the total to 140 single and double occupancy senior retreats on the Tay Canal. “This is your home. We want to give you the tools to do whatever you need to flourish,” said Dave MacLatchey, president and CEO of BayBridge Senior Living who was on hand for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony. Staff, local politicians, residents and their families filled the dining room to overflowing – it was standing-room only. “I want you to feel like this is your home and this is your life,” he said. “So make it your home.” The public was able to take a tour of the expanded residence that includes new suites and amenity spaces like a salon, games room, fitness centre, spa and chapel/theatre room. Carolina Retirement Suites executive director Tracey Foster said the facility opened in June of 2000 with 44 suites. Another 41 were added during the second phase and in January this year, the new 55 units were opened for seniors. “We are so proud and so lucky to have such an amazing family here,” she said of her residents. “I’ve often said I would love to live here, too, when I retire. The residents are wonderful as are their families.” There are single studio suites and suites for couples available and prices start at $2,688 per month, meals and housecleaning included. For resident Julie Buffam, she says she loves her new home at Carolina Suites. She’s been here for three years. “I love it here,” she says. “I can do whatever I want, participate in as much as I want, exercise, go to concerts, play cards… and my suite is on the water side, so I wake up in the morning and I … (she takes a deep breath)… smell the Tay, enjoy the breezes. It’s amazing.”

CONCERNING A PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 34 OF THE PLANNING ACT, R.S.O. 1990. C.P.13 TAKE NOTICE that, in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended, this notice is to advise that sufficient information has been presented to deem the application being processed under File# D14AC-01/14 as complete. A PUBLIC MEETING will be held by the Planning Advisory Committee of the Corporation of the Town of Perth on Wednesday May 28th, at 5:00 p.m., at the Council Chambers, Town Hall, 80 Gore St. E., Perth Ontario, to consider an amendment to Comprehensive Zoning By-law 3358, which is proposed under the above noted application. THE PURPOSE of the application is to amend Zoning By-law 3358, as it applies to land described as PT Lot 4, Plan 8828 with ROW over RP 974 Parts 3 and 6 and municipally known as 32 Foster to change the zoning on the lands from the General Commercial (C1) Zone to a General Commercial Professional (C1P) zone category which would permit the proposed residential use and/or professional office space. THE EFFECT of the proposed rezoning would be to allow the property to be used for residential professional offices or a mix of both uses. This would allow the existing two-storey office building to be converted to a residential use. THE KEY MAP below indicates the location of the lands affected by the proposed zoning amendment in relation to other lands within the municipality. ANY PERSON may attend the Public Meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed amendment. If you wish to be notified after a decision regarding the zoning amendment has been made, you must make a written request to the Corporation of the Town of Perth. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Corporation of the Town of Perth before the proposed Zoning By-law amendment is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the Town of Perth to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Corporation of the Town of Perth before the proposed Zoning By-law amendment is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. AFTER A DECISION has been made by Council, persons wishing to formally register an objection must, regardless of any previous submissions, file with the Clerk a Notice of Appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board setting out the objection and the reasons in support of the objection and accompanied by the Board’s fee. Background materials may be examined between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays in the Planning Department at the Town Hall and a copy of the draft By-law will be available no later than one week before the meeting. Please call in advance to ensure staff will be available to provide assistance. KEY MAP Dated at the Town 1RUWK 6W of Perth this 29th day of April, 2014.

Fashion show for community justice nets $3,600 News - The staff and volunteers of the Lanark County Community Justice Program (LCCJP) are celebrating a successful second annual Fashions with Flare – fundraiser. “It is great that we raised so much money for our program but we are also pleased that over 140 women (and a few brave men) came out to support us. Many of them heard about the important work we do in repairing the harm resulting from crime for the first time,� said Joellen McHard the executive director. LCCJP has been serving Lanark County and Smiths Falls since 2000. While LCCJP is grateful for support from the United Way of Lanark County and the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General, the program depends on community support to make ends meet. Shirley Lotz was the emcee for the event and was fantastic at describing the clothes, trends and styles for the spring. Her clothing line “Goddess on the Go� was one of the stores highlighted at the show. “Shirley has a flare for fashion,� says McHard and, “so do all

the local women modeling the clothing.� Some of the comments that could be heard around the room were: They all looked so great! I am so going to go buy that tomorrow! I like that they have models of all shapes and sizes. So Cute! “Especially the twins at the start of the show,� said the proud mother of Brent and Brianne McHard. The fashion show was organized by Sue Landry, Lynda Chenier, Paula Leydon, Angela Barrie, Shirley Lotz, Garry Lotz, Donald McWilliam, Anita Wall, Sheri Halladay. The stores that participated were: Giant Tiger, Conway’s Men’s Wear, Fall River Fashions, Jockey, Lavender and Lace, Goddess on the Go, Lia Sophia Jeweler. We also need to thank all the 22 businesses that donated food and prizes for the event, as well as the Perth Civitan who donated the space and helped us set up. The program brings together people directly affected by an incident including the complainant and the accused. Submitted by the Lanark County Community Justice Program

OPINION

Connected to your community

Land of Confusion Editorial – An alien visiting Canada late last week would have gasped at our political scene and been forgiven for mistaking us for a banana republic. It seems that no level of government was immune, and no one ended up looking good by the time the work week ended. To refresh you: * Toronto Mayor Rob Ford finally, finally sought help for his addictions, fleeing Canada’s largest city for rehab, on May 1. * Shawn Atleo resigned as the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations over his support for Bill C-33, the First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act, on May 2. * Premier Kathleen Wynne calls a provincial election for June 12, on May 2, after New Democratic Party leader Andrea Horwath declared that she and her party would not support Finance Minister Charles Sousa’s budget – tabled less than 24 hours earlier. * Most troubling of all, on May 1, Prime Minister Stephen Harper accused Beverly McLachlin, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, of trying to discuss the Marc Nadon case with him. It really is hard to know where to begin, but the most serious is the ongoing spat between McLachlin and Harper. Now, the game of he-said-she-said goes beyond marital bickering or the high school cafeteria, and into the highest corridors of power. For Harper, it may seem like a little bit of payback for the court ruling against him, in spectacular fashion, on the Nadon appointment, and on senate reform. Harper refused McLachlin’s call, as Attorney General Peter McKay said it would be inappropriate. It may well have been, and McLachlin should have known better than to offer unsolicited advice. But where Harper has stepped over the line is in making it personal. McLachlin said that Nadon’s appointment might not meet the guidelines set out in law – and, indeed, she later voted this way when Nadon’s appointment came up for its review. But she is just one of several

votes on the court. Harper’s timing is interesting in that it is coming out now, after the Nadon ruling, and not before. If Harper truly had any qualms about McLachlin’s actions, should he not have made the phone call public before the Nadon case went to the Supreme Court, and asked her to recuse herself? Why wait until all was said and done? What good is it now except in a petty attempt at making the court look bad, maybe even forcing her resignation? This recent penchant of Harper’s for picking fights when there are certainly more important things to be worrying about is troubling. Look at the kerfuffle over the Fair Elections Act. Anyone who spoke out against it – including former Auditor General Sheila Fraser, once held up by Harper himself as a scion of ethics and good public morals during the sponsorship scandal – was painted as either biased or bought, or both. This bullying has to stop, of out-and-out character assassination. Claiming that Michael Ignatieff “didn’t come back for you,” in 2011 is one thing, but this ultra-paranoia is not healthy. As for the provincial election we are finally in, well, it appears that someone fell into someone’s trap that day. On June 12, we shall see who –Wynne for setting the trap or Horwath for taking the bait. Horwath finally said what everyone else has been saying – that Ontarians have lost faith in this government to govern, and now is the time to decide. Just look next door in Quebec where new Premier Phillipe Couillard has admitted that the province has been living beyond its means for too long, and that it will need to look at all spending, including its European-style social welfare programs. Here is one Liberal who knows that proliferate spending cannot carry on indefinitely – if only we had Liberal leadership here who could have woken up in time to realize this too. It’s probably moot by now, but, soon, we will all have a chance to have our say. But looking back at late last week, if we get the government we deserve, what did we do to deserve this mess?

‘Cat School’ and aloofness Editorial – I floundered a bit for a topic this week. When I say floundered, I’m thinking about fish because that would be an appropriate creature for this weather. Really, though, I don’t want to talk about the stinkin’ weather (which, I hope, has become more spring-like since writing this on the weekend). So, I contemplated writing about something more cheerful…like my cat! Everyone loves to hear about cats, I reasoned. (Actually, I completely understand if you aren’t one of those people who likes to hear about cats. I am sometimes one of those people myself. Therefore I shall endeavour to make this as silly as possible.) Regular readers may recall we recently adopted Ramsey, a one-and-a-half-year-old male shorthaired cat, after our ancient tabby, MacGregor, passed away. At first, it seemed too soon to “replace” our old faithful fellow but, let me tell you, it was a relief to have someone to talk to around the home office other than myself. Eventually. See, at first, Ramsey kind of lived under our bed. It seemed strange because when we met him at the vet’s he was super friendly and purred and was very charming. Then, when we got home, he was…well…fairly freaked out. (I might be too if I lived here. Er, never mind.) Anyway, it took several days, but he began to spend more and more time socializing with us and less time under the bed. This was a very good thing for the obvious reason, but also because every time he ventured out from under the bed we realized just how many dust bunnies were living under there with him. Gross. For the kids, though, it was difficult to get used to a skittish cat after living their whole lives with

felines who were not shy about ruling the place. “Give him time,” I said. They conceded, at least, that it was amusing skittishness. For example, when Ramsey did venture out from under the bed, he would nonchalantly STEPHANIE GRAY sidle close and flop down on the floor. Invariably, someone would move (as we are wont to do), and sometimes it would be a dramatic move, such as Girlchild practising cartwheels in the living room. He would bolt – but only a few feet – and then flop down again: “I’m cool, man. It’s cool. I’m a cat. I meant to do that.” During the week, when the house was quiet except for me sitting in the office muttering to myself, Ramsey started to warm up. He would hang out in the office window and follow me around. He started to chatter, and not in the non-stop yowling sort of way Buster used to, but cute little chirps and meows. So, yes, I talk to the cat because he, apparently, talks to me. “But he won’t snuggle,” Groom-boy complained after experiencing a few puncture wounds. I explained, because I know a lot about these things now, that Ramsey went to Cat School, where young cats learn they must be standoffish with their people because they really do not need them for such things as snuggling. I made this pronouncement as we watched Ramsey flop closer and closer to the couch, looking up at us somewhat expectantly. “See, he knows from Cat School he’s not supposed to want to sit with us, even though he’d really like to.” Sure enough, we would pick him up and he would roll on his back and purr his head off, before remembering he was supposed to be distant and aloof. Each snuggle session gets a little bit longer. Fortunately, he seems to be adapting well to the fact we’re slightly crazy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Rising gas prices here to stay presented as a solution. Yet it is a very expensive and controversial process. Unlike the old wells where one could drill a hole and pump oil for decades, fracked wells are practically exhausted in a few years. When our municipalities increase taxes, we don’t like it. Yet so many of the services they provide – garbage collection, water pressure, school bussing, road construction, snow removal and more – take the same amount of fuel to provide, regardless of how high the price. Taxes have to go up, unless services are cut back. Two courses of action stand before us: one is to ignore the changes that are coming as fuel becomes harder to provide, and hope that, individually, we each can gather the increasing amounts of money we are going to need. The other is to recognize that the entire planet is entering a fuel-limited future, and to prepare low-energy ways to sustain ourselves and our communities. Increasingly, people are recognizing that it is best to greet the future prepared. A great deal has been learned about thriving on less energy. In the Perth area, Transition Perth has formed to help people who recognize the challenge to help each other build resilience in our community. If you are interested, check out http://transitionperth.ca, or contact contact@transitionperth.ca or phone (613) 267-8308. Sincerely, Mike Nickerson Lanark

To the Editor; Where has all the respect gone? I attended a beloved aunt’s funeral on May 1, and, when leaving the funeral home, everyone put their four-way flashers on. This was a very long procession, as the lady was well loved. Also, this is a practiced form of showing others that all the vehicles with four-way flashers on are together and in a funeral procession. No one pulls over anymore – I guess they are just too busy with living to respect the dead. I get that we must obey all traffic signals but really, people should not be cutting into the procession line. What really upset me was when the procession was westbound on Highway 7, in the inside lane, when a woman, probably in her 30s, pulled up next to me in the outside lane, attempting to get into line. There was a long line of vehicles with four-way flashers on. What did she think, that we were all out for a country drive? She forced herself in behind me and immediately turned into the Tim Hor-

tons restaurant. Yes, she needed her Timmies, which was much more important than waiting five minutes to let a funeral go by. My aunt was not a public figure or armed forces personnel and therefore we were not out there in public force, showing respect, but my aunt was a wonderful, quiet, countrywoman, who deserved respect just the same. Near Brooke, a lone blue truck pulled over, and a young man, probably in his late teens or early twenties, sat waiting for the procession to go by. Someone’s mother taught him well and I wish to thank him for his respect because his elders and others sure do not show it. I’m going to believe he was from the country, as was my aunt, and in the country we show respect. We do not let life get so busy that we forget where we come from and who we come from. We still stop for funerals. Sincerely, Rosetta McInnes Maberly

To the Editor; How about the new gas price! Are you used to it yet? We tend to deny the obvious. As the price of fuel rises, many explain it by saying, “Oil companies are greedy,” or “The government taxes too much,” and heads nod in agreement. We expect, and even accept greed, since our secular faith of the bottom line makes maximizing profits an ultimate good. As for taxes, we can ignore the fact that far more tax money than we pay at the pumps goes into building roads so that it is possible to drive and to subsidize energy companies to help keep the gas flowing. Debate around these issues distracts from the critical reality that our vast and steady consumption is making it ever more difficult to produce oil. We can expect the price to continue rising as we draw down planetary reserves. A few years back Brazil found a nine billion barrel deposit off of its coast, under several miles of water and rock. It is very difficult to get this oil safely to shore – they wouldn’t bother if there were more convenient sources. Nevertheless, nine billion barrels is a lot of oil, worth close to a trillion dollars, so they are working hard to tap it. Yet with global consumption of oil at around 90 million barrels a day, Brazil’s big find will only support business as usual for a little over three months. Hydraulic fracturing, where oil and gas are extracted by blasting apart shale rock with high-pressured water, is often

Tell stories of what this person was like when he or she was younger. I know life is busy. Believe me, I know. Sometimes you don’t have time or live too far away. Your loved one understands and doesn’t hold it against you. He or she is undoubtedly proud of you and is probably telling stories about you to whoever will listen. But trust me, if you can find a way to visit, even if it’s only once a year, the rewards will be huge. Because that’s the one thing you can’t get back after this person is gone. Time and memories. They’re so important! I hope you find my words helpful and maybe even comforting. But most of all, I hope I have convinced you to go visit your loved ones before it’s too late.

You’ve lost this person, and can’t see him/her anymore. Holiday are particularly bad as you most notice that they’re not there. It is hard, but it gets better. As time goes by, you miss them less, don’t notice as often that they aren’t there. You get used to them being gone. For those who have recently lost someone, I think that the best thing you can do for yourself is to allow yourself the chance to grieve. For those who have parents or grandparents who are older, and who have relatives in nursing homes, I have one message that I wish everyone could live by: visit with them! Spend time with your loved ones. More than anything, that is what they want. Even if they can’t talk to you or don’t know who you are, find time to fit them into your lives. Your mom may not know who you are anymore, but will love spending time with you. Speaking from experience, people with Alzheimer’s give the

This blog post was written by my daughter, Melanie Watson, a 34-year-old health care worker from Perth, who was killed in a car accident on Highway 7 just outside Carleton Place, on January 30, 2014. Words of wisdom. I’m just a typical mom. But there is one thing I would like to talk about. You see, I work in a nursing home. If your mom/dad, grandmother/grandfather needs help, I’m the one doing the helping. I feed people, dress them, change their “diapers� when they’re in a mess. When they have no cognitive ability left and are confused and lost, I’m the one who is calming them and showing them where to go. When they are dying, I’m holding their hand. And this has given me some perspective on life, especially on growing old and dying. Death is not to be feared. It is peaceful. Having seen more than one person die, I firmly believe that (with the

possible exception of people who have had traumatic accidents) people make the choice to die. They do not go until they have decided it is time and they are ready. For some people, they want their whole family to be there, others will wait until they’re alone. I mention this because I see many family members feeling guilty that they weren’t there. Often, the children will sit with their mom/dad while they’re dying, step out to get food and the parent will pass while they’re gone. For those who are in this situation, I wish I could take that guilt from them because I know that guilt is the last thing the parent wants them to feel. I think that most people, when they die, would like to tell their families not to mourn: don’t grieve my loss; remember the times we had together. I know I will be missed and I wish I could take that pain away. Celebrate my life, don’t focus on my death. Everyone must die sometime, what matters is what they did with their lives while they were here. Love and family are the most important things in life. Never forget this. This is the message that I believe people whose lives are ending would like to get across to

Cross-country ‘We Create Change’ tour stops at Perth By SAM COOLEY

News -Double amputee and mountain climber Spencer West told hundreds of students in Lanark County last week that 123 million youth on this planet are illiterate. Inside the gymnasium of St. John Catholic High School in Perth, students were shown videos of the conditions of some of the schools in countries like Tanzania and Kenya. Some students, when there are schools nearby, will walk barefoot for miles to reach schools that are falling apart, according to West. “These schools aren’t protected by the elements either,” he said. West said the students attending these remote schools are most often boys, because girls are usually occupied by travelling all day to gather water to bring to their homes. The “We Create Change” tour stopped at St. John Catholic High School on May 1. Their message was in support of the “Free The Children” foundation and its efforts to bring clean drinking water and education to some of the world’s most impoverished places. In a interview after the school presentation, West says Free the Children has erected 650 schools in 16 countries. He has been to Tanzania, and apart from climbing Mt. Kilamanjaro despite his physical handicap, Photos by LIAM GROVE West has helped build schools as well. In gathering support for his cause, West has also Above, Selfie Time! Motivational speaker Spencer West takes a “selfie” with some new walked (with his hands) and use of his wheelchair friends at St. John Catholic High School on May 1. from Edmonton to Calgary last year.

This year he says he needed to take a break physically, and to thank the students who have helped support the cause of bringing water and education to less fortunate people around the world. “I’ve heard some incredible stories on (the tour),” said West. “Some of the schools have been with Free The Children since it started (in 1995) and its been really great to see the support.” Accompanying West was 3-piece band “Neverest” and 11-year-old motivational speaker and activist Hannah Alper. She started her own blog at the age of nine to promote awareness of the environment. Alper, who is in grade 5, has been on the crosscountry We Create Change tour since it started three weeks ago in Newfoundland. She said her experience has been amazing. When asked how it’ll affect her education, Alper assured she has a teacher who is on the road as well. “I have a math test tomorrow!” she said in a interview after the show. Neverest, the band at the May 1 show, said it plans to help build some schools in the near future as well. West says the next step for Free the Children is to set up an additional 200 schools. After the cross-country tour, West says he will be making his way to India to begin a project in July or August of this year. More information about the foundation, its mission, the tour, and how to donate can be found at “freethechildren.com”

St. John gives a little bit more, gets a lot out of WE Create Change tour By FINN HOGUE Spartan Scene

On Monday, May 5, St. John embarked on Catholic Education Week. On Tuesday morning, there was a Catholic Coalition thank you Reception for our community partners. All Catholic High Schools across Ontario, including St. John, hosted an all-school mass that afternoon. On Thursday, May 8, there will be Defeat Depression Workshop hosted all morning, where presenters will be speaking to the students. There will also be a Dress Down Day to raise money for Open Doors for Children and Youth.

Hannah Alper, at the age of 11, has inspired, motivated and educated millions of people around the world with her blog, Call Me Hannah. She was nine when she started the blog after going to her first WE Day assembly. Not only does she motivate people , but she turns her words into actions. Neverest preformed some of their amazing songs, such as Rewind, and their newest song, yet to be released, Starlight. It was such an honour to have them come and play at our school. We would like to extend a thank you to everyone who participated in this wonderful experience.

News – What an amazing week for the Spartans! St. John recently hosted a Hoops for Heart basketball game fundraiser to raise money for those who have suffered from strokes or heart attacks, to help them come home to their families. We had 40 teams participate in this great event and some of the teachers even joined in, playing against the students. It was an exciting afternoon that everyone enjoyed, and we raised more than $1,500 for this wonderful cause. Thank you to all who participated in this amazing fundraiser.

We recently had the honour of having Spencer West, Hannah Alper and the band Neverest come to St. John’s for a special WE Create Change tour, where they spoke on behalf of Free The Children. Spencer West is a very inspirational and motivational speaker – he lost his legs at age five and although doctors told him he would never become active in his community, he fought to prove them wrong and became the man he is today. Spencer’s words have encouraged millions to face challenges, embrace change, and stand up for what they believe in.

He was a research scientist at the National Research Council of Canada from 1952 - 1980. During his career he was instrumental in developing the mathematics and computer algorithms that were used to the create topographic maps from aerial photography. He started programming computers during the 1950’s, using the world’s first commercial computer at the University of Toronto (FERUT), and later ported his programs to a succession of IBM mainframes, and eventually to the IBM PC. The programs that he wrote were used for decades by agencies around the world and have been used to map much of the earth’s surface. In retirement Gerry became an avid hiker and crosscountry skier. He completed the Bruce Trail and much of the Appalachian trail, and went on hundreds of hikes as well as ski and canoe trips with his friends in the Wednesday Walkers and the Rideau Trail Association.

At home he continued to program his beloved computers, learning the C programming language in his eighties and rewriting all of his programs in a new language one last time. He lived independently in his own home by his own choice until he suffered a stroke in February of this year. By inclination Gerry was private and somewhat reclusive.

FERGUSON – A graveside service for the late Gerald H. Ferguson who passed away January 24, 2014 will be held on Saturday, May 10, 2014 at 1:00 pm in Munster Cementery, Munster Ontario.

PULLEN, WALTER “WALLY” – It’s been 2 years. They say there is a reason They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason Will change the way I feel. No one knows the heartache, That lies behind my smile, No one knows how many times I have broken down and cried. I wish that I could tell you, So there won’t be any doubt, You are so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without. From your loving wife, Janet

DEFORGE – In loving memory of our little Angel, Jamie Elizabeth Deforge, who was a Granddaughter, daughter, and a sister, who passed away 12 years ago, May 10, 2002. This day will be a celebration Of the short time you were here. You will always be remembered With great love and many tears. But to only feel pain and sorrow Would not be fair to you. Your life meant so much more to us, More than words could ever say. You were here so briefly, I know you knew All the ways you’ve touched Our world and our hearts And everyone who knew you Since the day God called you home. Now our child, and sister, you’re an Angel With your heavenly Father above, We see not only what we’ve lost But our capacity of love. There will always be a big void In our lives and a hole in our Hearts that will never heal. Our souls will grieve forever. Will we forget or stop loving you? No! Not now… not ever. As this day is upon us, Oh, how our hearts still hurt. But, even as we mourn your death, We will always celebrate your birth. It was, and always will be, the happiest days of our lives. We will always love you and remember you in our hearts forever. You are never far away. Love Grandma (Clarice) Duncan, Mom and Dad, Douglas, Jenna and, Jamie, And Michelle and Chris

HAMILTON, David Douglas, July 14, 1947 - May 8, 2004 He is gone but not forgotten, And, as dawns another year: In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near. Days of sadness will come o’er us, Many think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, That lies in the heart concealed. Love Always Debbie and Blake

SMITH - In loving memory of John a wonderful son, brother, husband and father who passed away May 12, 2007. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, But all we have are memories and Your picture in a frame. Your resting place we visit And put flowers there with care, But no one knows the heartache As we turn and leave you there. Love always your family and friends.

OBITUARY

HENDRY Winifred “Win” The family of Win Hendry (Baigent: nee Holmes), predeceased by her husbands Alexander (Sandy) Hendry and Harry Baigent, sadly announce her passing at the Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, BC, on December 21, 2013 in her 94th year. In 1954 she started her 31 year nursing career at the Rideau Regional Centre, retiring from the Smiths Falls Hospital in 1985, where she created many lasting friendships. After retirement, she moved to Victoria in 1997 and enjoyed her new home. Loved walking by the sea shore, greatly admired all the early show of flowers and delighted in the balmy weather of the west coast. She was a keen participant at her local community centre, enjoying her darts and crib games and maintaining an active social life. Over the years life presented her with many challenges, but she never lost her love of life and appreciation of all the positive things around her. Her favourite line everyday was “I always count my blessings”, and she always took the best of what each day offered her. She is survived by her sons Tony, Bernie, and Richard Baigent and daughter Leanne Kapostins (Hendry), 10 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at the St. Francis de Sales Church in Smiths Falls at 10:00 a.m. Saturday June 21, 2014. Cremation has taken place. Interment to follow in the St. Francis Cemetery. All are invited to share in a Celebration of Life at the Hanley Hall from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to your favourite charity.

Purdy, Davis, Porteous, LeBelle In loving memory of my three daughters, Ann Purdy, Sharlene Davis, Brenda Porteous and John Davis. If there are flower gardens in Heaven Lord picked the nicest ones, you see. Place them in my dear daughter’s arms and tell them they’re from me. Tell them how much we miss them and how we miss their cheerful smile. Don’t rush away please, won’t you all stay and chat with Ann, Sharlene and Brenda awhile. The vows we shared so long ago, Still guide me every day. They bind me with love and strength. To face what comes my way. Daughters like you is rare indeed, my daughters and my friends. I’m blessed that you all were by my side with love that has no end. You walk beside down a peaceful road. Their voice is the wind and rain. For the magic power of memory, gives them back to us again. Just think of them as living in the lives of those they touched. For nothing loved is ever lost, And they were loved so much. Loved and sadly missed, Mom (Marjorie Long) & Murray Long, Purdy family, Porteous family, LeBelle family, Davis family.

GORDON - In memory of Edwin, dear father and grandfather who passed away as a result of a tragic car accident on May 5, 1984. 30 years have passed and our hearts still sore, As time rolls on we miss you more, There is someone who thinks of you often, But tries to be brave and content, It is not the tears at the moment shed, That tells how the heart is torn, But the on seen tears, in the after years, Your welcome smile and pleasant face, No one can fill that vacant place, Always in our thoughts, Mary, Bernie and families.

Flood of Food campaign hits 3,400 pounds of food By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Photos by LAURIE WEIR

Students from PDCI collected 450 pounds of food for the Lanark Highlands Food Pantry and the Table Community Food Centre this week during the Perth Rotary Club imitative, the Flood of Food. Perth family of schools have been collecting food for the local food banks for the past month and this week’s pit stop at PDCI netted 10 boxes for the two food banks and a $20 cash donation. Pictured are Rotarian Dave Batchelor, Dev the Blue Devil (school’s mascot), Rotarian Jeff Dean and student and Big Blue writer, Anique Baillon. The school’s drive was spearheaded by teacher, Lori Stewart, not pictured.

Community – After four weeks of flooding the local food banks with food, the Perth Rotary Club initiative, together with students in Perth have collected 3,400 pounds of food and $451.51 in cash donations. On Friday, May 2, the Rotary Club and the Town and Country Community Weekend Wrangler’s Hugh Colton made stops at Perth and District Collegiate Institute, where 10 boxes and $20 cash were collected and at St. John Catholic High School for another 30 boxes of food. The weight of food items was estimated at 450 pounds from PDCI and 1,140 pounds from St. John with just two schools left in the drive. “I’m so proud of the students here,” said Jeff Peters, teacher at St. John. “We have a lot of fundraisers

going on at the school right now with our big one being the Relay for Life. This week we had a very successful Hoops for Heart event and a We Day initiative, so this food drive was successful for us considering we have so many other things going on. Our students and families are very good to support our causes and this makes me so proud.” The food collection crew will be at and Maple Grove in Lanark at 1 p.m. and Glen Tay at 3 p.m. on Friday, May 9 for the final stop in their five-week campaign, before revealing the grand totals at the Rotary Fest dance on Saturday, May 10 at the Perth arena, featuring Eddy and the Stingrays. Tickets are $25 each and are available from any of the eight participating schools in Perth and Lanark, where a portion of ticket sales ($10 each) will go back to that school.

Perth Farmers’ Market returns to feed your weekend By SARAH MACKENZIE

Business – Every Saturday morning from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the last two decades, the citizens of Perth have been able to find fresh, local food and fun crafts at the Tay Basin. The 22nd season is set to start this Saturday, May 10. As well, to celebrate Mothers Day weekend, we are giving away 100 specially-made gifts to our dedicated and loyal moms who visit the market. A kids tent will offer activities for those who wish to create something special for their mothers.

What can you find at the Farmers Market? One of the great aspects of going to a market with many vendors is the variety of unusual and fresh items you will find. In the early spring you may find Morel and Shitake mushrooms, freshlypicked fiddleheads and wild leeks. Salad and spinach and unusual Asian greens will also make an appearance. Perhaps the best thing for any gardener is the variety of plants, flowers, vegetable starters, even shrubs and hanging baskets that are blooming. The greenery is

all grown by the person who is selling it, which means they can answer all of your questions about how it was grown, what conditions it likes, and any special requirements needed. It is a one-stop shop for anyone interested in gardening. Of course there is always food to fill your stomach, either while at the market or to take home for later. Again, specialty items are available including vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan, as well as the sweet stuff for a special treat later in the day. Why slave over a stove

when someone else has already done the work for you? A wide variety of crafts are on hand for that occasion that demands a one-of-a-kind gift that can’t be duplicated. Don’t forget, Mothers Day is on Sunday and mothers can always tell the difference between hand-crafted and mass-produced. We have had an interesting assortment of new vendors signing up to come to the market, and so there will be a new variety of items available since each person who comes to sell at the market creates a unique

item with their own personality. Some of the items they will have on offer include: unique mushrooms and mushroom growing kits, hand-made quilts and vintage sewn items, garlic products of all kinds including black garlic, and organic soaps and body lotions and balms, all made locally. Also, the Yoga Connection will be offering free drop-in yoga at the market from 11 a.m. to noon. So now you really do have it all - check them out and see if yoga is right for you. As we begin our third decade

of operation, we look forward to all the new faces that we will see, as well as those loyal customers who return every season because they know the secret: it’s fun, social and healthy, all in one go. Why not join us and find out what a shopping experience at the market is all about? You may be surprised to find your friends and neighbours already here. Check us out at www.perthfarmersmarket.ca or “like” our page on Facebook! Submitted by the Perth Farmers Market

Walk the Block for the Canadian Cancer Society

Photo by LAURIE WEIR

News - St. John High School teacher Jeff Peters helps load the truck with food collected by students and staff during the week-long Flood of Food drive on May 2.

June 5 from noon to midnight at 115 Christie Lake Rd., Perth. Teams will walk laps around the onekilometre block behind and between the two longterm care homes and the Lanark County Administration Building. “Historically Lanark County and Lanark Lodge have had teams for the Relay for Life event that takes place later in June,� explained Deborah Pidgeon, Lanark Lodge director. “However, we have shift workers and staff and families in our homes who wanted to be involved, so we looked for a way to do something similar closer to home, and we asked Perth Community Care Centre and Lanark County to join us.� Ms. Pidgeon said the Cancer Society has been very supportive of the event and has helped by developing posters and a website link so that participants can solicit pledges online. “At the Lodge we have had a number of staff members who have battled cancer, so we wanted to be involved.� The event will feature various bands that have performed at the Lodge in the past, and themes will vary depending on the music being played. There will also be two barbecues: one at lunch and one in the evening. Registrants can eat for free, while others pay a nominal fee. A wishing well will be on hand to collect donations. Just as with Relay for Life, Walk the Block will feature luminaries to recognize those battling canR0012465537_1219

cer and in memory of those who valiantly lost their battle with cancer, as well as a lighting ceremony. “The luminaries will light our path as we walk,� Ms. Pidgeon said. She added there is flexibility for participants, too. “Sometimes 12 hours is just too much and too hard to do for some people. When collecting pledges they can make it clear their team is working toward the 12 hours, but they might only be doing a one-kilometre lap, for example,� she explained. Having the event will also give staff members from all the buildings the opportunity to participate by doing laps on their breaks, and family members of residents in the homes will be able to be involved and/or bring their loved ones out for a lap, too. The route will be wheelchair accessible.

Role of radar in World War II Community – To the ordinary person in today’s world, the application of radar as a defensive tool would be assumed. However, the evolution of radar was still a work-in-progress prior to World War II, continuing throughout the war. For our presentation on Thursday, May 15, the Perth Historical Society will welcome James (Jim) Sands who was among those who were actually involved in the development of radar and its application in the Battle of Britain and ultimately, success by the Allies in the war itself. While the principles of using radio waves to detect far-off objects were known long before World War II, it was not until the 1930s that serious work began to perfect such systems. While several countries were each working in secret, it was the British who most appreciated the application and benefits of such a system for defensive purposes. As was learned later, they were leaders in the development of the system they called Range and Direction Finding or RDF. The system could be used by the army, air force, and navy, and was especially valuable during the bombing raids over Britain for early warnings of approaching attacks. However, it was from American naval terminology that the name RADAR came to us (from RAdio Detection And Ranging). F/O James Sands (Retired) will give us a presentation based on his own personal experiences and knowledge from his years of active participation in the development of radar and its place in winning World War II. From high school, he joined General Electric’s apprenticeship

program, but then went into the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), receiving his commission. He became involved in the early use of radar in aircraft, night fighter radar, and navigation bombing gear. While with the RCAF, he was posted to Britain, serving as Station Radar Officer at RAF Winthorpe, RAF Bottesford and 5 Group Bomber Command. After his return to Canada at war’s end, he had a varied career in industry doing, among other things, helping to train people how to repair TVs. Retirement not being in his vocabulary, he became a car salesman – he achieved the distinction of being the top Cadillac salesman in Ontario. He remains a tinkerer, inventor and builder at heart, including model steam engines and an organ. He and his wife Evelyn have been married for more than 60 years. The Perth Historical Society is dedicated to learning about and popularizing our history. It is a forum for discussion and celebration of our area’s culture and heritage. The meetings are open to the public, on the third Thursday of each month, at 7:30 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth-Upon-Tay, Branch 244, home of the Hall of Remembrance, at 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth. A “Toonie Fee” applies for each meeting. For information, contact Ellen Dean at 613-264-8362 or David Taylor at 613264-0094. Our website at www.perthhs. org, has information about us and items of interest related to Perth and area.

Citizens to erect water level monitoring station in Appleton By DESMOND DEVOY and SAM COOLEY

News – The Mississippi Riverwatchers group will be setting up a water level monitoring station near Appleton that will take readings every six minutes. Mike O’Malley, the group’s leader, made the announcement during a gathering of concerned environmentalists at Appleton Bay Park on Saturday, April 26. O’Malley has long been concerned about the effects of water levels on silver maple trees in swampy areas along the river, particularly the stretch from Appleton to Almonte, an area recognized as a provincially significant wetland – one of only three along the Mississippi. The other two are near Glen Isle, outside of Carleton Place, and the other is in Innisville, in Drummond/North Elmsley Township. He has long expressed concern about trees dying along the water’s edge, and beyond, affecting the overall tree canopy in the area. “They (trees) want a predictable flood,� said O’Malley, standing in the midst of a light drizzle, pointing out to the stark-looking trees on the other side of the bay. The trees, he said, need dry periods, because “as soon as they get wet, they stop growing.� He noticed that, in about the year 2000, there was a significant change in the summertime water levels on the river. Because of this, he claims, “we have a very large tree canopy that is in the last stages of dying,� said O’Malley. For two years, he and his fellow citizen scientists looked at all possible causes for this, including taking daily recordings of water levels. Looking at the similar areas in Glen Isle and Innisville, there were no comparable chang-

He stressed that his group was not opposed to hydro-electric operations in Almonte, and that, indeed, hydro had been produced in the town for more than a century, without impacting the Appleton trees. “There is a level at which we can have both,â€? trees and hydro, he said. He criticized Enerdu Power Systems Inc. for, as he saw it, affecting the water level changes. “As a community, we find this fundamentally offensive‌to destroy an ecosystem,â€? he said. “This was a pristinely beautiful ecosystem 10 years ago.â€? His group will be lobbying the municipality and the province to more tightly regulate the

funding through fundraising and by applying for a Trillium Grant to help cover the $10,000 cost for the meter. “If we intervene now, we can save this,� said O’Malley. It is not just the Riverwatchers who are concerned with the river. To date, about 2,261 signatures have been collected in an online petition against Enerdu, according to the website almonte.com. But the Ron Campbell, a project manager at Enerdu, indicated in a May 1 telephone interview that he was confident the project will be complete in the near future. Campbell said Enerdu is a green, small-impact project and when asked to comment about the public concerns about Enerdu’s expansion, he said he does not quite understand why things are being blown out of proportion. The public outcry may have to do with a “not in my backyard�

sentiment, indicated Campbell. But Enerdu is one generating station among a dozen other dams and facilities which are studded along the Mississippi River all the way to Bon Echo Provincial Park. “We’re just one player in a large group,� he said. Campbell outlined a figure of 300 kilowatts-per-hour generated by Enerdu. The town’s hydro facility, located about 125 metres away, produces around seven times the energy that Enerdu presently does. When asked about the “provincially significant wetlands� nine kilometres upstream of Enerdu, Campbell said he knew about them. He also acknowledged there may be water-level related reasons for the dying off of what he called “Swamp Maple,� but added that, “those are natural occurrences.� Campbell said his company

This document outlined the public’s “confusion� over some of the legal issues surrounding Enerdu’s expansion. In this document, and in a May 1 interview with this newspaper, Kim drew distinctions that the company was required to fully understand how development of the Mississippi River is governed. The report also sheds some light on the limitations of Environmental Assessments. The “zone of influence� in the Environmental Assessment is defined in the March 2013 document as being the “immediate area,� around the Enerdu facility and weirs. Kim’s assessment states it did not observe potential impacts on the Appleton wetlands because they were nine kilometres upstream and not immediately surrounding the wetlands. Contained within another WESA document is a small map with only the area surrounding the facility being highlighted as a subject for the evaluation. A representative of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), Kim Beach, wrote in an email exchange that Enerdu must follow the terms in the Mississippi River Water Management Plan (MRWMP). According to Beach, the plan intends to make “considerations of the environmental socio-economic values� of the area. But the seventh page of the plan also states it “does not look at environmental issues that are not related to the manipulation of water flows.�

is expecting “flows to go down to historic levels (in July), and there’s nothing we can do about that.� He said the river is always changing, as it has for decades. The planning process for Enerdu included an Environmental Assessment. Additionally, there was public consultation before Enerdu could proceed. “Despite the escalations in areas of concerns, the Minister (of the Environment) indicated he was happy with the steps we took to address and mitigate it (concerns),� said Campbell. Muriel Kim is an environmental scientist who conducted the study for Enerdu while acting as a consultant on behalf of Water and Earth Sciences (WESA), a firm which conducts scientific research for industries. The MNR has investigated the Kim released a document online on March 12, 2013 which silver maple swamps in Appleaddressed some of the public’s ton and, according to Beach, the cause of their death is unknown. concerns.

Studio Theatre presents Little Women, the Musical May 22 to June 1 By JOAN SONNENBURG

Arts – One of the most beloved stories in American literature comes to life as a musical this spring in Studio Theatre’s production of Little Women, the Musical. This timeless, captivating story of family love, laughter, and heartache come to the stage in a Broadway adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel, with music by Jason Howland and Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein. It will be directed by C. Lee Bates. This will be C. Lee’s second musical. Last year, she brought us the quirky and entertaining The Second Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. It was a test case to see if a musical could be done with somewhat limited resources and how it would be received. It was a success on both counts. This year she has chosen to direct Little Women, the Musical. She explains why. “Little Women is a classic tale that transcends the 49th parallel (it is set in Civil War America) because it is a story about the strength of family and about finding the courage to overcome adversity and follow one’s dreams,” she says. “It has strong female characters and charming, engaging male counterparts. The music is truly spectacular. It is a relatively small cast musical (10 characters). Perhaps most importantly, I believe it is a musical that will appeal to Perth audiences; it is family-friendly, warm, humorous, and poignant.” Producing any play presents challenges, but producing a musical has its own special demands. For one thing, royalties are much steeper and some materials such as scripts and scores have to be rented. The cast must be made up not only of strong actors, but of competent singers as well. Studio Theatre has always concentrated on traditional stage plays and so has no stable of singers. However, there are many groups in this area who do specialize in musicals: Mississippi Mudds in Carleton Place, Perth Community Choir and Orion Theatre in Perth, Station Theatre in Smiths Falls, not to mention Orpheus in Ottawa.

Little Women, the Musical, a take on one of the most beloved stories in American literature, opens at the Studio Theatre in Perth on Thursday, May 22. Above, Jacki LeClerc (Aunt March/Marmee Swing), Barb Guthrie (Aunt March) and Courtney Mason (Josephine “Jo” March) listen, enraptured by Jo’s reading of her “blood-and-guts” melodrama in a rehearsal for the production. problem is, these actors are in much demand and often not available. Furthermore, an orchestra and music director must be found, and that too is a challenge. However, C. Lee has gathered a

strong cast and crew locally and from other sources. Little Women requires a relatively small cast for a musical, one of the features that attracted C. Lee. Of those ten,

only one – Barb Guthrie who alternates with Jackie LeClerc playing Aunt March – is a Studio Theatre regular. The four March sisters are played by Courtney Mason, (Jo) Mary Hills (Meg), Lindsay

Rewi (Beth) and Emma Houlahan (Amy) who also appeared in Spelling Bee. Julie Kevan and Jackie LeClerc alternate as Marmee; Andrew McDougall is Jo’s friend and mentor Professor Bhaer; Kyle Booth is Laurie, the boy next door; Justin Hills is John Brooke, Laurie’s tutor and Meg’s suitor; and David Wright is Mr. Lawrence, Laurie’s grandfather. Mark Bailey has organized an outstanding 11-piece orchestra and rearranged portions of the music to suit their instrumentation. Laurel Tye is the music director, looking after the vocal coaching and conducting the orchestra. A large crew headed by producer Barb Guthrie and stage manager Joan Frommer handle the complex set which must include multiple changes of scene from the March house to the boarding house n New York where Jo stays. The set is designed by C. Lee herself. C. Lee is confident that audiences will love this show. She says, “The cast of Little Women is stellar and the orchestra and music are sensational. Audiences will be enthralled by the vocal and orchestral performances, moved by the acting and thoroughly entertained by the story and the music.” Little Women, the Musical opens Thursday, May 22 and runs May 23, 24, 30 and 31 at 8 p.m. and May 24, 25, 31 and June 1 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance, available at The Book Nook, and $22 at the door or at Tickets Please (613-267-2350) in Perth. Phone or credit card orders can be made through Tickets Please, 613-485-3434 or order online at www.ticktsplease.ca. There is a special rate of $10 for children under 12 and a two-for-one special on opening night. Come to the play Thursday, May 22 and bring a companion for free. (Season ticket holders can bring a second person free for that night only.) For further information, call the Studio Theatre box office at 613-267-7469 – please note this number does not take ticket orders) – or visit the website at www.studiotheatreperth.com.

It’s a no-brainer that to show your mom how much you love her you could shower her with gifts: flowers, chocolates, a gift certificate for a spa, or a new book she’s been waiting to read.

You could invite her to have brunch at her favourite restaurant or spend some time with her preparing some home cooked meals to freeze. You could take her for a walk in the park where you used to go together when you were young, which is sure to evoke many happy memories for both of you. Leaf through old photo albums together or ask her to tell you about the happiest times of her life. Laughter and even a few tears will likely accompany the stories. Your mother may need help with work around her home. Take advantage of her special day to do some helpful chores. You could clean the outsides of windows or help her do a bit of spring cleaning. No matter what your plans are for this May 12, be sure to spend some quality time with the person who raised you.

Ten gift ideas for ten styles of mother If you’d like to branch out and be a bit more creative with your Mother’s Day gift this year, here are gift ideas for ten different types of mother. 1. The food-loving mom: a gift basket that showcases local artisanal food products, such as cheeses, breads, and wines. It will be like a mini-adventure into the culinary world, and it will taste great too! 2. The philanthropic mom: a gift made in her name to a charitable cause close to her heart. 3. The Zen mom: a soothing object such as a coffee table fountain, meditation pillow, or a bonsai. 4. The travelling mom: a book all about her dream destination. 5. The busy mom: a homemade gift certificate offering to do a chore of her choice, such as taking her car to the garage for her, vacuuming her entire house, or de-junking the garage. 6. The sporty mom: a yearly membership at a sports club or a pass for the hiking trails in a federal or provincial park in her area. 7. The fashionista mom: a trendy accessory that she wouldn’t dare to buy on her own, such as a snazzy necklace, funky belt, or Jackie-O sunglasses. 8. The mom who loves to pamper herself: a basket of beauty products, such as a home spa kit, makeup, or a skin care system. 9. The green mom: a domestic composter to help her reduce the amount of garbage she sends to the dump. Or, you could offer to turn over her compost pile for her. 10. The cocooning mom: a cozy dressing gown or a good book to read in the late spring sun.

1967 Camaro has been owned by the same family since it was brand new! Lifestyle – A letter arrived from Brian McCullough in Ottawa: “Hi Bill, my 1967 Camaro was purchased new from Rideau Motor Sales in Smiths Falls on November 30, 1966, by my father, J. S. McDougall, proprietor of McDougall Pharmacy, who later passed it on to me. Although Dad bought the car, I drove it most of the time. It still has an OPP Safety Check sticker on the window when I as a teenager in 1967 must have looked suspicious and they pulled me over. The OPP stopped issuing stickers that year.

“When I joined the OPP in 1970, my parents were wintering in Florida with my mom’s car and the Camaro was stored from October to April. At that time, I purchased my own vehi-

cle and moved to northern Ontario. When my mother could no longer drive, my dad turned the Camaro over to me. Both my parents have long since passed on and I treasure

the car as a keepsake, not to mention the times I had driving the car in my late teens. “The current mileage is 67,599 miles. The only time the engine has been opened was when I had to change the rocker cover gaskets. The car still has the aircraft cables that went on as a GM recall to reinforce the engine mounts. Later this spring, it will go to a local garage called K.A.R.S. owned and operated by Jim McMurtry, a Camaro restoration specialist for 25 years. “The car still has both sets of original GM keys and the plastic folder containing the original 1967 Camaro Owners Manual with VIN 126950 and Engine V1031MF noted on the front cover in pen, along with other original papers from the dealer. This vehicle has not been winter driven since the spring of 1970 and it has always been stored inside. It has never been in a serious collision, raced, or stolen. The vehicle has always had regular maintenance performed by qualified technicians.

“Since I acquired the vehicle in 1998, the car has received an original Butternut Yellow repaint, original windshield removed and resealed, new GM gas tank, radiator saddle, inner and outer front fenders, radiator, heater core, fuel pump, rear leaf springs, shocks, original front seat covers, window felts, GM Body by Fisher sill plates, complete exhaust system, new floor with original carpeting, new fuel line, new brake lines, major engine tune-up, and four new Uniroyal Tiger Paw P205-75R 14 whitewall tires.” The Camaro first came out in 1967 as GM’s answer to the Mustang. The Camaro was an instant hit and has remained so to this day. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Community – Now that day time temperatures have risen above 4°C ticks have once again become active. Please remember to be tick smart. Dressing with light-coloured clothing makes adult ticks and nymphs (small stage of the tick), easier to see when they are on you. Always remember to do a tick check when you return inside. Thoroughly check your body for ticks and nymphs and promptly remove and dispose of them. Have someone check you from behind if possible or take a quick shower to help remove any unattached ticks. It is important to know that Lyme disease transmission depends on the length of time the tick is attached. If

the tick or nymph is removed within 24 hours of when it may have attached to you, then you have a minimal risk of acquiring Lyme disease. If the tick or nymph has been attached for longer than 24 hours and does carry the bacteria, you are at an increased risk of getting Lyme disease. When a tick has been attached to you greater than 24 hours and it looks like it has fed and is enlarged, it is recommended that you contact your health care provider and advise them of this. Remember, not all ticks carry the bacteria. Submission of the tick or nymph to the health unit will not affect your treatment. Identification

and results of the tick submission will take up to three months. Tick submission to the health unit is for surveillance, not disease diagnosis. If you have been bitten by a tick, watch for symptoms of Lyme disease: bulls eye rash around a bite area, headache, fever and muscle/joint pain. Consult your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. For more information about ticks and Lyme disease, contact the health unit on the web at www.healthunit. org, call 1-800-660-5853 or like the health unit Facebook page for important public health updates.

Web slinger in perfect form for latest ‘Amazing’ Spider-Man sequel My Take MARK HASKINS

a new villain calling himself Electro (Jamie Foxx) has arrived on the scene. Electro is the living embodiment of power, and he has a real hate on for the web slinger. Somehow Peter has to find a way to protect Gwen, solve the mystery of his parents, help Harry, and save the city from Electro. This time it may be too much. I had my issues with Amazing Spider-Man 1, but I admit it was well done. Amazing Spider-Man 2 on the other hand is the film I’ve been waiting for. Visually it’s mind blowing. When you see Spider-Man swinging over New York it’s exhilarating. When you see Electro power up for the first time it’s terrifying. Story wise Marc Webb will have you on the edge of your seat, he will break your heart, and he will make you cheer as he tells a Spider-Man story to rival any Spider-Man story.

The third piece of the puzzle is the cast, and it fits perfectly. Sally Field, Colm Feore, Embeth Davidtz, Campbell Scott are fantastic. When I heard Jamie Foxx would be playing Electro I was thrilled. I knew he’d be great, and I was right. As Harry, Dane DeHaan is intelligent, driven and even ruthless. As the Green Goblin he’s on the cusp of greatness. Emma Stone is dazzling. Gwen is the light in Peter’s life. She’s smart, fearless, and passionate. Stone is all of that in a performance so complete it leaves you speechless. Spider-Man is my favourite superhero, and Andrew Garfield has become my favourite actor. Garfield has a complete understanding of what drives Peter Parker to be Spider-Man. he gives such a powerful performance it will be etched in your mind and heart long after you’ve left the theater. Amazing Spider-Man 2 is what Spider-Man is all about. They’ve truly captured the adventure, the heroics and even the tragedy that makes up much of Peter’s life. They’ve nailed it, and I can’t wait for number three. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Community – Comic book enthusiasts were out in full force May 3 for the Carleton Place Business Improvement Association’s annual Free Comic Book Day. Many downtown businesses participated in the event, which saw visitors travel from store to store to receive a stamp on their passport, for which they would receive a complimentary comic book. Far left, Sydney and Jesse Osborne on their way to another participating Bridge Street business. Left, Mistee Twistee (aka Peter Keitzke) of Korny Klowns has a super power: holding children’s attention while creating animals out of balloons. Above, Face painting is among the fun during the comic book day. Ready to rid the city of crime are, from left, Kaitlyn Rossignol and Ainsley Mohns. Among the BIA businesses taking part in the fun was Good Food Company, The Blossom Shop, The Granary, and Graham’s Shoes.

Google’s self-driving car pilot test passes major milestone streets in Mountain View before we tackle another town, but thousands of situations on city streets that would have stumped us two years ago can now be navigated autonomously.� Several auto manufacturers have also been running various street tests of auto-piloted vehicles in different locations around the globe. Most of these earlytechnology stakeholders expect to see this feature available to the public within four or five years. The foothold, in terms of collision mitigation and lane departure control systems, has already been established in many different models now on the streets. I recently received an email from a resident from Quebec with a story on his BMW. He took his BMW x328 (that he thought was still within terms of the base fouryear warranty) into his selling/ servicing dealership for a maintenance inspection. Apparently the warranty end-date was misread and the vehicle was actually beyond the four-year term but with relatively low mileage (47,500 km). During the inspection the techs found an oil leak from a cracked engine valve cover. The dealer told him BWM would cover the cost of the part, but he would be responsible for the labour charges ($624). He agreed and the repair was completed. Soon after, a series of warning lights came on our BMW owner’s

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

dash (coolant level, anti-lock brakes and the 4WD system). Another appointment and diagnosis and he was told the coolant level sensor required replacement as well as the 4WD transfer-case motor. He again agreed and once more BMW covered the part (this time the 4WD motor only) and our owner paid out $734. After all this the owner still had a sour taste over the repairs and asked my opinion as to whether or not he should contact BMW’s head offices in Europe for some further consideration. He felt that the rocker cover was probably cracked before the warranty’s expiry, that his dealership gave him the wrong info on the warranty expiry date, and that the last two failures represented a poorer quality than BMW was known for, specifically in light of the relatively low mileage. I passed his email (with his permission) along to the media office of BMW Canada and asked for a response. Their representatives reviewed the repairs with the servicing dealership and responded that they believed their original offer to cover the cost of the parts

involved was more than fair in regards to the fact that the warranty had indeed expired. Without any documentation or reports it would be hard to pinpoint the exact time of the various failures. They also noted that complete warranty information including expiry date is supplied to every BMW purchaser. About the only morals of the story I can offer for our BMW owner is to know when your ve-

hicle’s warranty is set to expire and have a complete inspection done before that date. They commented that any communication of this nature that was forwarded to BMW’s global HQ would be sent to their Canadian office.

Lifestyle – Google’s self-driving car pilot test recently passed a major milestone. Chris Urmson, director, Self-Driving Car Project reported that their fleet of driverless cars have passed the 700,000 mile mark. Of great importance to the future of this technology is that most of the latest miles have been on the urban streets of Mountain View California, Google’s home town. As Urmson put it in a recent blog, “A mile of city driving is much more complex than a mile of freeway driving, with hundreds of different objects moving according to different rules of the road in a small area. We’ve improved our software so it can detect hundreds of distinct objects simultaneously – pedestrians, buses, a stop sign held up by a crossing guard, or a cyclist making gestures that indicate a possible turn. A self-driving vehicle can pay attention to all of these things in a way that a human physically can’t – and it never gets tired or distracted.� “As it turns out, what looks chaotic and random on a city street to the human eye is actually fairly predictable to a computer. As we’ve encountered thousands of different situations, we’ve built software models of what to expect, from the likely (a car stopping at a red light) to the unlikely (blowing through it). We still have lots of problems to solve, including teaching the car to drive more

OPP supports collection of unused prescription medications May 10 lead to prescription drug abuse. Police agencies and health organizations are working together again this year to fight against this public health and safety issue. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will be participating in a province-wide initiative that will provide residents an

opportunity to dispose of old and unused prescription medications. Prescription Drug Drop Off Day will be held on Saturday, May 10. The OPP is making more than sixty detachment locations available so that the public can simply and safely dispose of unwanted, unused or expired medica-

tions without exiting their vehicles. Officers and volunteers will be on hand to take the medications from community members on May 10 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The public is also reminded that they can drop off any unused medications at any time to their local pharmacist.

Place them to the south and the southwest to provide shade from late afternoon/evening sun. 3. A good windbreak includes a mixture of coniferous trees, deciduous

More than 100 new jobs created for youth in Leeds-Grenville gain the skills, job experience and abilities they need to make a successful transition to the workplace. YES includes the Skills Link and Career Focus programs and the Canada Summer Jobs initiative, which creates thousands of job opportunities for students every summer. Canada Summer Jobs provides funding to not-forprofit organizations, publicsector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create summer job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next school year. Since it began in 2007, Canada Summer Jobs has helped more than 260,000 students. Skills Link helps youth facing barriers to employment – including single parents, youth with disabilities, young newcomers and youth in rural and remote areas – to develop the skills and gain the experience needed to find a job or the confidence to return to school. Since 2006, Skills Link has helped more than 179,000 youth. Career Focus helps postsecondary graduates transition to the labour market through paid internships and helps to provide youth with the information and experience they need to make informed career decisions, find a job and/or pursue advanced studies. Since 2006, the Career Focus initiative has helped over 26,000 youth acquire skills needed to join the job market. Through Economic Action Plan 2014, the federal government is supporting up to 3,000 internships in high-demand fields and up to 1,000 internships in small and medium-sized businesses. The federal government is also helping post-secondary students finance and repay their education through loans, grants and repayment

News – Students in Leeds-Grenville will have access to summer jobs to help them gain valuable skills and work experience, Gord Brown, Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville, announced recently on behalf of Candice Bergen, Minister of State for Social Development. One-hundred and one summer jobs are being created this year with the help of just over $250,000 in Canada Summer Jobs funding. Canada Summer Jobs helps students gain the skills and experience they need to be successful, now and in the future, while earning money for the upcoming school year. In 2014, the Canada Summer Jobs program is expected to create approximately 35,000 jobs across Canada, while helping employers address skills shortages. “Creating summer jobs for students benefits not only youth and employers, but also local economies across the country. Canada Summer Jobs is yet another excellent example of how our government is creating jobs and economic growth,� explains Brown. Since 2006, the Youth Employment Strategy has helped more than 555,000 young people develop skills, to the benefit of the Canadian economy. Through Economic Action Plan 2014, the federal government is also supporting up to 3,000 internships in high-demand fields and up to 1,000 internships in small and medium-sized businesses. The federal government is also encouraging apprenticeship and careers in the skilled trades through grants and tax credits, along with support for training programs.
