Local schools are stepping up to help victims of the fires that have devastated part of Fort McMurray, Alta.

Students in Jeff Peters’ Grade 12 religion class at St. John Catholic High School will be hosting a “Give Back for Fort Mac,” community spaghetti dinner next week, Tuesday, May 17 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the school. All of the money raised will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross’ relief efforts in

north eastern Alberta.

With more than 20 per cent of the city destroyed, Peters’ class came up with the idea last Friday, after watching the city’s 80,000 plus residents evacuate.

Students at Queen Elizabeth Public School will be drawing on a local celebrity to drum up money, also for the Red Cross.

From noon until 2 p.m., on Thursday, May 12, Ottawa Senators mascot Spartacat was scheduled to be on hand during an in-schoolonly dance-a-thon.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

And Dr. John Patrick feels there is plenty to fear in the federal government’s new euthanasia law.

In fact, during a speech at St. John Catholic High School last week, Dr. Patrick, strongly urged those in attendance set up power of attorney programs within their respective churches, so that you can “give power of attorney to people who share your beliefs,” regarding end-oflife care.

Dr. Patrick was, for more than 20 years, an associate professor in clinical nutrition at the Department of Biochemistry and Paediatrics at the University of Ottawa, retiring in 2002. He added his voice squarely in opposition to the federal government’s proposed euthanasia law in an event organized by the Catholic Women’s League branch at St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church.

“If your doctor does not fear judgment (after death), then you should learn to fear your doctor,” he said during a speech at St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Tuesday, May 3. “Doctors are dangerous when they are given carte blanche.”

The debate around doctor-assisted suicide is not new, going back to the Sue Rodriguez case of 1993, when the British Columbia woman took her case to seek a doctorassisted death all the way to the Supreme Court in Ottawa – only to be defeated in a 5-4 decision.

Years later, in early February of 2016, all nine justices of the Supreme Court of Canada ruled unanimously that

With the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association (RHRTA) undergoing some restructuring this year, Lanark County council is unsure if it will to commit funding beyond 2016.

Ann Weir, interim president of the RHRTA, who also serves as economic development manager for the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, was at the April 27 economic development meeting of the county to provide an update on the changes taking place within the association. Lanark County tourism manager Marie White is currently the RHRTA’s interim vicepresident.

The organization, which works to market and promote the 202-kilometre long Rideau Heritage Route stretching from Ottawa to Kingston, was thrown into uncertainty after the resignation of executive director Anne Marie Forcier in February. Prior to that, former president Wendy Chapman was forced to step down from her post in September 2015 while she battled cancer. Chapman passed away in April.

“Some of us decided to step up and see where we were going to take this (association),” Weir said of the transition. “...We immediately realized we needed to assess the situation, understand the finances and how the Regional Tourism Organizations (RTOs) and Parks Canada funding works.”

This prompted the RHRTA board to take a look at how they will operate in the future and a focus on strategic directives to highlight the value of the canal and tourism along it. “(The canal) is a demand generator that has world-class potential as a unique tourist experience,” Weir explained.

“It is one of six UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world and connects history, culture, water and land. So what is our challenge ahead? How do we maximize that potential in this world-class opportunity?”

With a budget of just $58,000, made of up of funding from member municipalities (including $10,000 from Lanark County), Weir admitted capitalizing on those strategic directives is difficult. “It’s not that much money when it comes to doing big initiatives for this large corridor,” she said.

However, she indicated much of the work has already been done for the RHRTA thanks to the Visitor Experience Opportunities Concept (VEOC) report, which the association partnered to complete with

Parks Canada in December 2013.

“Each of the concepts in that report we are bringing forward in strategic plans,” Weir stated.

The absence of an executive director also made the board take a long, hard look at its organizational model and if it is working as well as it could be. While core funding comes from municipalities, additional opportunities from the RTOs and Parks Canada which used to be 100 per cent, is now 50/50 matching dollars.

Weir noted that previously, the executive director’s time was wrapped up in mostly governance and administration.

“Is that really where we want the executive director to be spending their time?” she questioned. “No, you want them out in the field.”

So, in order to maximize their small budget, the RHRTA is going back to its original purpose: product development, marketing and promotions, and mobilizing municipal dollars so communities can see the value in their investment.

RHRTA’s recent Annual General Meeting April 20 unveiled this new direction and a partnership with Parks Canada to develop a management plan to better communicate with their funders.

“The challenge will be in balancing our budgets,” Weir said, noting that the association experienced a small loss in 2015 (just under $600), but hopes to be “on the positive side in December 2016.”

Gone too, is the executive director position. The decision was also made to take on a partnership approach with a smaller board of key funders taking the lead.

“We cannot leverage a full-time salary but we can leverage projects,” Weir said. “...For this year, we’re going to take a step back and have the executive and board step up and do some of the work and leverage those dollars...”

Going forward in 2016, one of the big projects RHRTA will focus on is the economic impact of product feasibility.

“How can we quantify the economic impact of tourism and business; their contribution?” Weir asked. “...If the canal was closed down, what would that mean to the businesses along the corridor?”

The board has also decided to stick to a stricter geographic focus. Only those municipalities who contribute dollars will be promoted through the RHRTA. Weir said they currently don’t receive funds from Ottawa or Kingston and this year, the Town of Perth has also opted out.

“So where do we go from here?

Confirmation of municipal funding is key,” Weir stressed. “We did receive your (Lanark County’s)

cheque, thank you, and we put a hold on it until we could ensure you were comfortable with our direction.” “...We appreciate your support as we go through this transition,” she added.

Council’s reaction Coun. Bill Dobson was concerned about the RHRTA’s refusal to promote municipalities who don’t contribute financially.

“You’re receiving $10,000 from Lanark County and as you know, approximately 40 per cent of the money coming in to the county is from the municipalities,” he said.

“So any municipality that doesn’t contribute receives no promotion?”

“Yes. Based on our resources, we have to make sure that communities see the value (in their funding),” Weir answered. “If a community pulls out, people have to see that.”

“But no community is actually pulling out. The (Lanark County) funding represents all of Lanark County,” Dobson pointed out.

Coun. John Fenik, who confirmed Perth was not going to be supporting the RHRTA this year, also raised issue with this turn of events.

“So, the $10,000 under the Lanark County line, please calculate the Perth portion of that and take it out and refund us,” Fenik said.

“I’m not paying twice for something we’re not getting.”

“I do understand what Coun.

Fenik is saying,” continued Coun.

Jane Torrance. “It does seem to be a bit of double dipping. I’d like to see where these Lanark County numbers are.”

While county council had concerns over the future of the RHRTA, Coun. Richard Kidd suggested since the funds had already been handed over for 2016, the matter could be revisited in the 2017 budget.

“I think we should accept this as information for now. It’s already budgeted and we’ve given them the $10,000 for 2016. But we should take a hard look at it for 2017,” he stressed.

“In 2017, I say we should not support this particular endeavour at all,” Fenik added.

Coun. Louis Antonakos said he understood Perth would get representation as part of Lanark County’s funding, “so they are getting some benefit from the county’s contribution of $10,000. Other municipalities get value-added service and benefits from their additional contributions.”

“Carleton Place is far from the Rideau but we appreciate the significant infrastructure that is in our county,” he continued.

Day of Caring is huge hit for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

This partnership with Tweed enables BBBS to cross several things of their To Do List in a few hours.

“It’s fantastic,” said Jennifer Miller, executive director of BBBS, who also rolled up her sleeves on Saturday. “I’m so grateful to Tweed for their support – they’ve been wonderful. We own this building and there is a lot of upkeep involved. The partnership has been a couple months in the making.”

Jordan Sinclair, communications specialist for Tweed said the United Way approached their company a while ago and they agreed to the concept and were able to get about a dozen or more employees to volunteer some time to help out.

“We’re doing some spring cleaning,” he said as he applied some paint to the foyer of the building. “We connect with a lot of local charities and this is another way to give back.”

It was a day of painting, fixing, sweeping and a hundred other odd jobs around the office Saturday, May 7 as the United Way’s Day of Caring event helped Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Lanark County.

Together with employees of Tweed Inc., the Day of Caring has been brought back to life thanks to this partnership – the first in several years.

Fraser Scantlebury, executive director of United Way of Lanark County said it’s been a long time since there was a Day of Caring in the area.

“We were really pleased to have Tweed on board this year and it’s been several years since we’ve had the community support to host a Day of Caring,” Scantlebury said. “We’ve gotten a lot of odd jobs done for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County that they wouldn’t have had the time to do or the money to pay someone to do it.”

co-ordinator for the United Way. “It’s a great way to get local companies involved with the project,” she said. “It happens whenever we get the interest.”

That could mean from any business, or any group of people who would like to help make a difference for the member agencies of the United Way. Scantlebury said there are many ways to make a difference, and getting involved in a Day of Caring is one way the United Way can help make that connection.

“It’s an opportunity for a business or group to see what organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters does in our community and they can see where they money, commitment, time goes and how it makes a difference.”

Bringing back the Day of Caring is something that the United Way would like to see take off.

Tay River Pathway extension to benefit Lanark Lodge residents, community Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

An extension of the Tay River Pathway could not only add to Lanark County’s trail system, but improve the lives of county residents of all ages.

County councillors heard more about the project during the April 27 economic development committee meeting. An initiative being undertaken by the Lanark Lodge Council of Families and Friends, representative Dianne Czerwinski was on hand to speak about the project the council hopes to have completed by the end of August. It has already received the endorsement of the Lanark County Trails Municipal Trails Corporation (LCMTC) who recommended the economic development committee do the same.

“The council has been keenly interested in the Tay River Pathway since it was first built in 2009,” Czerwinski stated.

The project, which would extend the trail by 130 metres behind Lanark Lodge and along the area has the potential to be a three-season destination for all ages, Czerwinski said.

“It could be a family friendly, accessible outdoor experience, with trails to the river, meandering paths looping to the trailhead, community gardens, playground, amphitheatre and interpretive signs,” she continued.

“This will be accessible to people of all levels of ability, improve the health and well-being and inspires appreciation and

respect of nature...and enjoyment for residents and staff (of Lanark Lodge and Lanark County),” Czerwinski said. “It gives back something that’s been lost and helps preserve the land for future generations.”

The project was first established in May 2014 when the Lanark Lodge council began to informally fundraise and approached the LCMTC with the concept.

“We wanted the money we’d raised to go towards a viewing dock and we’ve been working with the trails corporation ever since to bring the Tay River Pathway to the river,” Czerwinski noted.

Perhaps the biggest hurdle early on in the project was finding access to the river on county property. Czerwinski said the council quickly found out their original plan went through private property, but when it was revised, they had to deal with the county access through a floodplain zone.

“As soon as that change happened, it significantly increased the scope of the project,” she stated.

Consulting with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority to address the floodplain issues, the council continued to move ahead with the initiative, determining a path route and completing surveys, plans, maps and drawings thanks to a strong volunteer design team.

At the April 18 LCMTC meeting it was approved that Lanark County’s public works depart-

visitors can sit and enjoy the landscape.

Czerwinksi said there’s much left to do to ensure the project is finished by the summer. The next steps are to make necessary adjustments to plans, seek approvals and gather permits, as well as finalize architectural drawings. Thus far, organizers have brought in , but with county council’s endorsement, Czerwinksi said the recruitment of volunteers would go ahead and a kick-off to a formal fundraising process is also planned.

Plans are underway to extend the trail to include a boardwalk, above, which will lead to a ramp and viewing deck for the community to enjoy. ment would complete the largest loop of the expansion this summer “and we’re very, very grateful to them for the commitment they have made to this trail,” Czerwinski said.

That granular trail will lead to a boardwalk, followed by another granular section which ends with a ramp up to a viewing deck, located about the 100year flood line. “It (viewing deck) is designed to withstand flood waters when there’s an above average amount of water,” she explained.

Going into further detail about the viewing deck, Czerwinksi said it would be situated near a large ash tree by the river’s edge “intended to give a treehouse kind of feeling.”

“The deck will give an unobstructed view of the river,” she continued, with a ramp of galvanized steel screw piles to endure freeze-thaw conditions.

The boardwalk and viewing deck will be wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs and strollers and benches will be placed on the deck as well so

The total cost of the project is earmarked at $67,000, with the viewing deck and ramp carrying a cost of $28,000, the boardwalk: $24,000, path: $3,000, project fees: $2,000 and a contingency of $10,000. To date, the council has raised $23,000 and Czerwinski estimates the value of the volunteer hours donated amounts to $15,000.

Wheelers Pancake House and Sugar Camp hosts annual CHEO fundraiser May 28 On May 28 Wheelers Pancake House and Sugar Camp near McDonalds Corners hosts the fourth annual ‘Wheelers Maple Kitchen Party’.

All funds raised during the evening will benefit the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Foundation.

In the first three years, the kitchen party has raised a total of $24,000 for CHEO through ticket sales, a silent auction, and individual donations. The 2016 Kitchen Party features toe-tapping family entertainment and plenty of food with Lanark County Maple Syrup.

the project.

“We’re now asking you (Lanark County council) to consider making a financial contribution,” she said. “We’ve thought long and hard about this...since the project has increased in scope and realizing most of the money has already been allocated this year, we’re asking for whatever contribution you feel is appropriate for this project. We will try, we will do our utmost to fundraise for the rest of this project.” “...I personally believe with all my heart this property behind Lanark Lodge could be as vital as Stewart Park is to Perth,” Czerwinski added. “...

It’s a hidden treasure.”

Positive response Coun. John Fenik wondered if the council had given any thought to extending the trail to the boundaries of the Town of Perth “because Perth would be interested in that.”

“The Town of Perth would pay for that,” he noted.

“Not at this time, but it’s something that would be awesome,” admitted Czerwinski.

Fenik said the project is a “great initiative.” “It’s a no brainer, because there are also the Carolina Court retirement homes along that stretch.”

With the ever-present Emerald Ash Borer, Coun. Shaun McLaughlin cautioned building the trail around ash trees.

“You have to really think about the trees,” he urged.

“There’s an enormous amount

The Wheeler family, and volunteers, will serve an all-youcan-eat maple feast including pancakes, French toast, maple sausages, quiche, and maple baked beans topped off with Angela Wheeler’s scrumptious homemade maple sugar pie and other maple-themed desserts.

A great variety of items and services will be up for bid at the silent auction. The popular ‘live auction’ will feature unique items including limited edition bottles of ‘Vernon’s Choice’ pure maple syrup. Vernon Wheeler selected this ‘Vernon’s Choice’ batch as the best

maple syrup produced from the 2016 crop at Wheelers Maple.

Joel Smith and Josh Roy (The Sons-in-Law), Vernon and Judy’s sons-in-law, will provide musical entertainment.

The Wheeler Family donates 100 per cent of the ticket cost for the meal and entertainment to the CHEO Foundation and 100 per cent of the proceeds of the silent and live auction also go to CHEO. The event starts at 5:30 p.m.

Tickets are $50 per person and can be reserved by calling 613-278-2090 or email tracy@ wheelersmaple.com.

of upkeep and you have to watch how close you put this to ash trees.”

Czerwinksi indicated the LCMTC had been concerned of the same issue and suggested monitoring the trees each year. “It needs to have an eye kept on it for sure,” she said. “...It’s a healthy location at this time, according to the RVCA.” With public works contributing work on the trail, Coun.

Richard Kidd questioned if these costs were in the 2016 budget.

“We have some donation of materials from OMYA and Tackaberry Construction and our staff will do the digging, so these are in-kind donations,” clarified Lanark County CAO Kurt Greaves.

Coun. Brian Stewart, who sits on the LCMTC, was impressed with the dedication of the council on the project.

“I’ve had the privilege of working with the (Lanark Lodge Council of) Family and Friends on this project for quite some time and it’s been an honour to work with this group. They are very dedicated,” he commented. “All the fundraising to date, it’s really remarkable and something to recognize. They aren’t even fundraising publicly yet and have $23,000.”

Later in the meeting when discussing possible funding opportunities, council endorsed a motion to allow organizers to fundraise and continue with the project. With all funds already allocated to the

2016 budget, councillors decided against a financial contribution at this time.

“If they don’t raise the funds in 2016, then we could consider (a contribution) as part of the 2017 budget process and look at topping up whatever they need to get it done,” Kidd stated. “At least it gives a light at the end of the tunnel.”

“With their timelines and trying to complete this by the end of August this year, that does create a problem,” pointed out Stewart, who suggested the matter come back to the June meeting for discussion.

Coun. Aubrey Churchill also believed council should go ahead with a donation.

“We should step up and commit tonight for some support,” he said. “The people who are going to use this trail are the people who have been in Lanark County all their life. Let’s step up and bite the bullet.”

Councillors agreed and the issue will come back to the June 22 economic development meeting for further debate.

Anyone wishing to make donations to the Tay River Pathway extension should mail cheques to: Tay River Pathway Fund, c/o Erica Patterson, Lanark County, 99 Christie Lake Road, Perth ON, K7H 3C6.

Tax receipts will be provided.

This year’s Hike for Hospice wraps up successful event Day hospice client Donna McWade made some heartfelt comments about the importance of the program to her. Her praise for and appreciation of the dedicated staff and volunteers were made very clear.

Many of those attending this year’s walk indicated the primary reason for participating “was in support and admiration of those fighting for another day to live life fully or in memory of those friends and loved ones who have lost the battle but remained in their hearts and memories.”

Before kicking off this year’s Hike, Lanark County Warden Gail Code spoke of her support for these important services.

She noted that depending on where they live in Canada only 16 per cent See HOSPICE page 7

Participants joined the dedicated staffs and volunteers of Community Home Support – Lanark County, the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation and the Smiths Falls office of Bayshore Home Health in a 2K walk around the center of Perth.

Driver safety begins in vehicle

W

hen one thinks of road safety week, speeding vehicles, distracted driving and pedestrians come to mind, but how often do we think about the dangers we pose to ourselves while sitting in a vehicle?

May 17 to 23 marks Canada Safety Council’s national Road Safety Week and this year, they are focusing on the importance of proper ergonomics behind the wheel. Few of us may think about it on a daily basis, but the way we sit in a vehicle can have lasting damage on our body through a muscoskeletal or repetitive strain injury.

Posture isn’t the only thing that can cause strain on your body while driving. Vibration of larger vehicles can have an impact on your lower back and spine. Extended periods of time behind the wheel can also weaken back muscles making them more susceptible to injury.

Of course, there are always solutions to reversing our bad habits in the car. Be conscious of how you sit while in the car and maintain proper posture; adjust the lumbar support in your vehicle so your back is fully supported; ensure the steering wheel and seat are properly adjusted so you don’t have to strain. Another helpful tip is to break up your driving and be sure to make frequent rest stops to give your body a chance to stretch.

According to the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists, those who suffer from one of these types of injuries is at an increased risk for car crashes. So, it’s good to nip those bad habits in the bud sooner rather than later.

We all spend much of our lives behind the wheel of a vehicle. By making a few significant changes to how we drive, we can ensure there will be many years of pain-free cruising to come.

Bologna was a special treat when visiting Briscoe’s General Store Briscoe’s General Store, to me, was just about the most exciting place in all of Renfrew County. If Father had to go to buy some nails, or coal oil, or maybe some leaf tobacco, I would beg to go with him. As soon as I went in the door, I could smell the maple cookies in the tilted box and the smell of rubber boots hanging from a rafter, and then deeper inside, the scent of molasses in the wood barrel at the back of the store.

Across the store, about half way down, was a glass counter where meats and perishables were kept. And inside was my very favourite food in all the world. It sat on a white enameled tray, and to me, it looked like it weighed at least 20 pounds.

It was a big fat roll of bologna...of course, we simply called it balony back then. I would rather have a slice of balony than a box of cracker jacks, or a bunch of butterscotch suckers which came bundled up with an elastic band.

Mother knew how I loved balony and if there were a few pennies left after she bought what was on her list, she would say to Mr. Briscoe, “I guess we’ll have a slice of balony too.”

He would take out the big roll, and with a butcher knife that looked like it would do harm to an elephant, he would slice off a thin piece and hand it to me, without benefit of even a piece of waxed paper. It wouldn’t make it to the door and the buggy! I would roll it into one long piece and devour it right on the spot.

And then one day, after Mother had finished her list, she again, said I could have a slice of balony. Well, was I in for a surprise. Mr. Briscoe went behind the counter, took out the big roll and there was a brand new piece of machinery to cut the slices. He put the roll on a tray attached to it, clamped the meat down with what looked like a fork, and turned a

crank, and as neat as you please, off came a perfectly cut slice of balony. The only problem was, the machine cut the meat very thin, and I decided right then, I wished he had used the big butcher knife, but said nothing, so glad was I to get my favourite treat in the whole world!

Mr. Briscoe had what Mother called ‘a soft spot’ for the children of Northcote. No child ever left the store without being handed a humbug. Now, I hated humbugs with a passion.

They were light brown with stripes in them and tasted like something you would take for a sore throat and the taste stayed in my mouth for ages. No, I had no use for humbugs, but good manners demanded I thank Mr.

Briscoe as if I had been given a whole quarter. But as soon as I got out the door and into the buggy, I threw the humbug into the ditch on the way home...without Mother seeing of course.

Well, one day, just as we were about to leave the store, Mr. Briscoe reached into the candy jar that sat on the end of the counter and pulled out the usual humbug. I decided then and there I would do something that demanded every ounce of courage I had in my body, but would settle the humbug issue once and for all.

“Mr. Briscoe,” I said in my best Sunday School voice. “Would you mind very much if instead of the humbug, I could have a slice of balony?” He dropped the

candy back in the jar, went to the counter at the back of the store, took out the roll, and using the brand new machine, cut me a slice, and handed it to me.

Ever after, whenever we went to the store, Mr. Briscoe, when we were ready to leave, would go to the meat counter and slice a piece of balony for me on his new machine. Never again did I have to take a humbug, pretend I was delighted, and toss it into the ditch on the way back to the farm.

Abolitionist leader Tubman recipient of major honour I’m a regular listener to Phlash Phelps’ excellent weekday program on the ‘60s channel on Sirius XM radio.

Phlash is possibly the most dedicated long distance driver in North America. Well, he’s certainly the best traveled DJ on the continent.

It seems the man has been everywhere! His knowledge of even the most obscure locations in the U.S. and Canada is impressive!

I really enjoy his “City of the Day” call-in quiz. Often the community he spotlights is involved in a particular news event or activity which makes it a natural for the morning question and answer session.

Phelps’ provides listeners with clues and the challenge is that the information he reveals can be difficult to decipher. It’s definitely a “thinking person’s” quiz.

Obviously in this day and age people use the Internet to try and unlock the mystery. Phelps’ has many regulars who call daily with their guesses.

He discourages surfing the net for answers and although his email traffic often contains the correct location he prefers to give callers an on-air chance to provide the correct place name.

With millions of listeners tuned in at any one time, the callers are from communities across the continent.

I’ve never called. But sometimes I’m able to answer the question very quickly. Such was the case one morn-

ing recently. The second clue gave it away immediately. However, I was pretty sure based on the first clue.

He said, “Our city of the day is near Harrietstown.”

As a regular visitor to Upstate New York, I immediately thought of Harrietstown, N.Y., the community that includes the Village of Saranac Lake which my wife and I have visited so often. Saranac Lake lies within the boundaries of the sprawling and picturesque Adirondack Park.

As I noted, his second clue cracked the case. “Today’s City of the Day was home to two Winter Olympic Games,” Phelps’ revealed.

I should have called. It was Lake Placid, NY! The village, which is one of our favourite places in the world, hosted both the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. Nearby Whiteface Mountain, home to the Olympic downhill ski races, offers the greatest vertical drop in the northeastern U.S. Phelps’ choice that day had two sides. The reason he picked Harrietstown as a clue was to highlight a news story related to a truly remarkable African American woman from the 19th Century. Her name is Harriet Tubman and although Harrietstown is not named after her (the community was founded in 1841, before Tubman became well-known) it worked well to connect two unrelated situations.

Reflections

By Jeff maguire

Escaped slave Tubman escaped slavery to become an abolitionist leader and a conductor on the Underground Railroad. She also had a major connection to Canada which I will explain later.

A truly remarkable person, she also served as an armed scout and spy for the United States Army during the American Civil War. Widely acknowledged for her humanitarian work Tubman has now been honoured by the U.S. government, 103 years after her death. In April the U.S. Treasury Department announced that Tubman’s image will grace a new $20 bill.

The decision means the image of Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the U.S., will be bumped from the front of the $20 currency and another image of him placed on the back. Ironically Jackson, the general who led the American Army to a rout of the British at the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812, was a slave holder and confirmed

anti-abolitionist.

The decision to place Tubman’s image on the front of the $20 bill sparked both praise and criticism.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said the move is part of an historic overhaul of currency aimed at addressing American’s legacy of slavery and gender inequality. Tubman will be the first African American on U.S. paper money and the first woman in more than a century.

Lew told the Washington Post newspaper Tubman’s life is “the essential story of American democracy” and the power of an individual to make a difference. He added, “So much of what we believe has changed for the better in this country, is reflected in what she struggled for.”

Kari Winter, a professor who studies slavery and dissent at the University of Buffalo said, “It is just absolutely beautiful to replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman. Because where Jackson represented the worst side of American history, Tubman represents the best ideals of American democracy.

Tubman helped guide hundreds of slaves to freedom in her lifetime through the network of abolitionists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. Tubman herself escaped in her 20s but returned to secretly help other family members and scores of other slaves escape.

Later in life she served as a Union Army spy during the Civil War, a period during which she aided the North by scouting terrain and recruiting slaves as soldiers. Before her death – she was believed to be 90 or 91 although no official record exists – she was also an outspoken activist who championed women’s right to vote.

However Donald Trump, now the presumptive candidate for the Republican Party in the U.S. election in November, disagrees with the decision.

While praising Tubman’s contributions he said the move to have her replace Jackson on the front of the $20 bill “is pure political correctness.

“Andrew Jackson had a great history and I think it is rough when you take somebody off the bill. I think Harriet Tubman is fantastic, but I would love to leave Andrew Jackson or come up with another denomination.”

Trump suggests a $2 bill with Tubman’s image on it. The $2 bill is no longer in print.

At the same time the candidate heaped praise on Jackson whose presence on the $20 bill is sometimes criticized because of his pro-slavery views and his dismal record on Native American and racial issues. Jackson’s administration is blamed for the infamous “Trail of Tears” policy under See MAGUIRE page 12

Classic Theatre Festival in Perth holds auditions for local performers Given the Classic Theatre Festival mandate of producing hits from the golden age of Broadway and the London stage, it should come as no surprise that casting for British shows of the period inevitably requires finding someone who can play the “maid,” who usually comes with a name like Edna or Edith.

For the festival’s third show of the season, J.B. Priestley’s An Inspector Calls, the festival is once again holding local auditions for female performers aged 15-29 who can speak with either an Irish or Cockney accent.

The candidate would be accepted into the festival’s Youth Theatre Training program. The applicant must have been in school full-time during the last year, and returning to full-time school in the fall. The contract would be for eight weeks, beginning July 19 and running until Sept. 11. The program is not open to members of the Canadian Actors’ Equity Association (CAEA).

For students concerned about the overlap with the

which the Cherokee people were forcibly relocated from their traditional lands with devastating effect.

Canadian connection As for Tubman, her connection to Canada is interesting.

When she fled a plantation in her native Maryland, she went to Philadelphia. Pennsylvania was already a free state. In 1851 she made her way to St. Catharines, Ontario which due to its proximity to New York State and Pennsylvania was a terminus on the Underground Railroad (URR). The system assisted thousands of slaves who fled the U.S. for freedom in Canada during the 1800s.

They came to Canada because the ‘Fugitive Slave Law’ enacted in 1850 made it dangerous for slaves to remain anywhere in the States.

Tubman lived on and off for eight years in the Niagara region. During that time she traveled back and forth across the international boundary no less than 19 times, according to the Harriet Tubman Institute at Toronto’s York University. She compromised her own freedom time and again to guide fugitive slaves to safety in Canada.

In 2013, on the 100th anni-

first week of school, there would only be three matinees

where they have to be out of class the first week of September.

“It’s a great opportunity for someone interested in the theatre to work in a professional setting with some of the best actors in Canada,” explains Laurel Smith, the festival’s artistic producer.

“For the past several years, we have had the pleasure of providing such opportunities to local performers who are interested in taking things to the next level and getting a pay cheque for it too, a nice bonus for someone who loves the theatre.”

An Inspector Calls is one of the most intriguing mysteries of the 20th century, written just after the Second World War by the prolific author and social critic Priestley, who was fascinated with the nature of time, while delving into the notion of collective responsibility for when things go wrong in society.

The plot involves a body that has shown up at the morgue and the visit of the mysterious Inspector Goule, for whom everyone is a sus-

versary of her death, the Canadian government produced a short document to honour Tubman. In part it says, “Angry slave owners posted rewards for her capture but she continued her work despite great personal risk.”

While living in St. Catharines Tubman offered her home as shelter for newly arrived, former slaves and raised money to help give them a fresh start.

She even took in homeless children from the streets of St. Catharines, the Tubman Institute website notes.

Of course Tubman’s story is one of many relative to the URR and Canadians’ involvement in helping escaped slaves.

My wife Kathleen and my late mother Molly are both from Chatham, Ontario which was also a major destination on the URR. If you travel to that area of southwestern Ontario you can visit the Buxton National Historic Site and Museum at North Buxton, just outside Chatham. The museum complex celebrates the lives of the former slaves who built the small community. It includes the only remaining school in Canada (circa 1861) constructed by former slaves.

At nearby Dresden the most popular attraction in the district is ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin.’ It

was the home of Josiah Henson, an escaped slave from Kentucky whose memoirs were reference material for Harriet Beecher Stowe’s famous novel of the same name. Published in 1852 the anti-slavery novel is said by some to have laid the groundwork for the Civil War. Britain’s Queen Victoria, who later met Stowe, is said to have cried while reading Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

Tubman’s role in the antislavery movement is truly one of the most intriguing stories of the era. She was the first woman to lead an armed raid during the Civil War, guiding federal troops who took part in the raid at Combahee Ferry in South Carolina. The skirmish liberated more than 700 slaves.

She also assisted fanatical abolitionist John Brown (who interestingly is buried just outside Lake Placid) recruit men for his raid on Harper’s Ferry, Virginia (now part of West Virginia), another key event on the road to civil war.

Tubman is widely considered an icon of American courage and freedom. She clearly earned the latest, very significant honour to be bestowed upon her!

“It’s always a relevant play to do, especially in an era where we are challenged by major issues, from the war in

Syria to the Truth and Reconciliation process with respect to Canada’s relations with Indigenous people,” says Smith.

“In each of these issues, we are pushed to ask ourselves: how do we contribute to the problem, and what can we do to make things better?”

Donations for upcoming yard sale being accepted by LAWS LAWS is looking for donations to be used for an upcoming garage sale. Anything that you may wish to donate that could help us raise some funds is welcome. You can drop it off at LAWS, 953 Glenview Road, Smiths Falls daily between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Thank you.

It’s Spring Pet Portrait Day at Perth Pet Valu on May 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Margaret Link, a professional photographer, will take your pets’ picture. Come out and have some fun! It’s a great gift for any occasion. Part of the proceeds will go to LAWS. The picture this week of our cat Sophie is one of the pictures taken by Margaret.

This week’s featured pets Lately, at LAWS we’ve seen an influx of older cats who had to be surrendered for various reasons.

Moving to another place where no cats were allowed, a new baby in the family who has allergies, death of the owner or whatever the reason, it’s always a very sad situation for both the owners and the cats.

After life in a home with free roaming privileges surrendered cats find themselves in a cage or in the cat runs sharing space with other cats at our shelter.

This week we like to feature some of those cats. It’s our hope that they find new forever homes

going. She loves attention and is not too demanding. All she needs is a cat bed in a forever home.

Cassie Cassie is a beautiful almost three-year-old Retriever/Labrador/ Rottweiler-mix who has been at LAWS far too long. She needs love and gentle guidance by an experienced master. Still surprisingly timid and shy, she may not be comfortable with young children or other animals for the near term.

Serious adopters might have to visit Cassie several times before she feels safe and contented.

Bright and intelligent, she’s highly observant and displays amazing leash skills. She now just needs the right person in her life who can work with her to help build the confidence and social skills she was withheld during the early part of her life.

If you like to give this amazing dog a chance please contact the dog attendants at LAWS to make an appointment.

Thank you for your continued support.

Driver wants true hands-free connectivity with 2015 vehicle “Hi Brian, I don’t know if you’re able to help but I’m banging my head at this point and I don’t know what else to do. Basically, I leased a new 2015 Honda Civic, and it doesn’t work like the 2014 or the 2016 does in terms of Bluetooth calling (cell phone connectivity). The problem as far as I can see, is that it doesn’t like any phone manufactured after 2012 or so, and in a 2015 car that’s ridiculous.

See, when I drive my fiancé’s 2014 Civic, and you tell it to call Bob, it calls Bob right off the bat. Not so in the 2015, and I’ve tried it with voice tags, with different people doing it, I tried it in an iPhone 5s and later when they told me it was my phone and not the car, I went to Rogers to get a new phone, a galaxy s7, and it doesn’t work either.

Call Bob works on an iPhone 4 and a Galaxy s5, but not a single phone made after 2012.

What it does instead is bring up Bob’s contact info, and you then have to press on the screen to call, which defeats the purpose of hands-free calling, and is an extra step that you shouldn’t have to take. As it is my first car and still getting used to driving full-time, hands-free calling is a big deal as I try not to take my eyes off the road. I won’t even look at my phone when I get a text.

I’ve gone to two different dealerships and spent seven hours combined trying to get them to address this, and time on the phone with Honda Canada and it comes down to it does what it’s supposed to do; you just have to take the extra step to push the name on the screen.

In my opinion, that’s not handsfree, and it doesn’t do what it does on the 2014 or 2016.

At the end of the day though, I just want my stupid car to

work like it’s supposed to, and if it doesn’t, for them to fix it or give me a new one, and they don’t want to do either.

SL” Our reader got in touch with Honda Canada on more than one occasion and I emailed his concerns to their head office. While this might seem to some to be a firstworld problem, we all want safer roads and good working and well-integrated cell phone/ vehicle links are critical to that end. And whether you agree or not, a large percentage of us are becoming more and more reliant on wireless communication and information services with the vast majority of this group upgrading to new, more advanced phones every two or three years or less. Our reader indicated to me he would consider upgrading his Civic to a 2016 model for improved and safer functionality, regardless of the costs.

My questions to Honda were simple; did our reader accurately assess their response to the concerns? Does the 2015 Civic have these problems functioning with the phones mentioned? With consumers relying more and more on their communication devices and with large numbers of them switching to upgraded mode on a regular basis, isn’t it reasonable for them to expect that the number one selling car in Canada can keep up with these changes? And finally I supplied a list of the top five smart phones sold in Canada and asked if the 2015 Civic could offer full functional connectivity and interface with them.

This was the response I got: “Thank you for contacting Honda Canada. Honda has reviewed the customer’s concerns and although there may be dif-

One of the most popular annual events in Carleton Place, Wine’d Around Downtown, is set for Saturday, May 28 and tickets are now available.

Organized by the Carleton Place Sister City Committee the wine and food sampling extravaganza is returning for a ninth consecutive year. Last year’s venture was the most successful ever, with 360 people taking part.

This spring the host committee has been inundated with requests for ticket information.

The event is a fundraiser for the Sister Cities Youth Exchange program and other activities involving the communities. Carleton Place is twinned with the village of Comrie, Scotland and the city of Franklin, Tennessee a growing suburb of the world country music capital, Nashville.

This year the colour red will dominate on downtown Bridge Street. Red is the colour of the event T-shirt which doubles as a ticket. Wine’d Around Downtown showcases the many excellent restaurants, pubs and caterers located in and around Carleton Place.

The venture begins at 1 p.m. and runs until 5 p.m.

As the play on words in the name suggests participants in Wine’d Around Downtown are encouraged to “wind” their way from one venue to another in the downtown area. With spring finally here two participating firms will be operating outdoors.

The idea of the event is not to over imbibe, but rather to savour sample glasses of wine and enjoy appetizers in one or more of the locations taking part in the afternoon event.

“The event ticket package is now available at two locations,” says committee chair Jeff Maguire.

The package includes a T-shirt, an event passport filled with related information and a coupon for a free appetizer at one of the participating venues.

Anyone wearing a Wine’d Around Downtown t-shirt is entitled to purchase additional wine samples and appetizers at all of the participating venues for just $3 each.

“We ask everyone involved to wear their T-shirt and join the crowd. This is an enjoyable social event,” Maguire says. “But you have to purchase a Tshirt and the logo must be visible in order to take part. Staff at the participating venues will only serve those who are in possession of one of the distinctive shirts which entitles you to wine and food samples at a low cost.”

Maguire adds that in the past some people have participated without actually buying tickets which is not permitted. “When you buy a ticket you’re helping local students travel abroad.

That’s what this is all about.”

Carleton Place’s Citizen of the Year for 2014 Jan Ferguson toasts the success of the 2015 Wine’d Around Downtown event with Jim MacGregor.

This year’s fundraiser for the Carleton Place Sister City Committee is set for Saturday, May 28.

Wedding and Event Catering will be located at Moore House, an historic downtown home at 170 Bridge St., opposite the Town Hall. Besides being the home of the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce, it is also the site of displays featuring the story of local hero Captain A. Roy Brown, the First World War ace who shot down famed German pilot Baron Manfred von Richthofen in 1918.

This year the host committee is including locally made beer in the venture with the inclusion of the new Stalwart Brewing Co. on High Street. Stalwart will join forces with the always popular Beckwith Butcher.

Stalwart will serve samples of their beer while Rob Carpenter, owner of Beckwith Butcher, will once again offer the popular appetizers which have made his business such a key part of Wine’d Around Downtown the past two years.

“We thought that by adding beer we would give participants more choice,” Maguire explains. “Of course we also want to help showcase a new, local brewery.”

Other popular and long-time participants include the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery, 20 Bridge St.; Dionysos Restaurant (Greek and Canadian dining), 156 Bridge St.; Slackoni’s Restaurant (Fine Italian Cuisine), 35 Mill St. and the Waterfront Gastropub, 12 Bell St. (across the river from the town hall).

Generations Inn and Fine Lakeside Dining (located at Lake Park in Beckwith Township) will be operating an outdoor location in the parking lot beside 92 Bridge St. where they were last year. Their appetizers also proved very popular with patrons last spring.

The ticket cost remains unchanged at $25 per person. The event t-shirts Numerous venues Once again this year Waterfall can be purchased at the Carleton

Place and District Chamber of Commerce office, 170 Bridge St. (telephone 613-257-1976 for information) and also at the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery, 20 Bridge St. Also during Wine’d Around Downtown participants can fill out a ballot for a draw for a gift basket.

On Aug. 1 Carleton Place and Comrie will mark the 24th anniversary of their twinning arrangement which has a basis in history. Many of the original settlers in this part of Lanark County emigrated from the Perthshire region of Scotland, which includes the picturesque village of Comrie, early in the 19th century.

Last Oct. 24 Carleton Place and Franklin officially celebrated the 10th anniversary of their Sister City agreement during a well-attended dinner/ dance at the Carleton Place Arena.

It is a “hands across the border” arrangement and one of just 24 such linkages involving Canadian and American communities.

“We are very proud of our sister city relationships,” Maguire states.

“They have led to lifelong interpersonal relationships involving adults and students from all three centres and professional development opportunities.

“We learn from each other and the side benefit is the friendships which have developed involving many people from Carleton Place and residents of centres in the United States and the United Kingdom.”

“I have written a lot of songs about my life and personal experiences.

Most of my songs come from being a dad and a husband. I think everyone can relate to the stories they tell.

It’s a totally different connection with the audience through those songs,” he says.

Turner lived in Nashville, Tennessee in 1995 where he honed his song-

writing chops by playing his original material each and every night in front of fans and other songwriters. “I played in between Paul Brandt and Whitey Shafer, who wrote some of Merle Haggard’s songs on the same night!” he recalls. “It was a very exciting time in my life.”

Asked which of his songs is his favourite, Turner said, “One song that stands out is Take My Picture when my wife and I had our first child we were shopping for baby clothes in NY state near Fort Drum and I saw a wall of heroes in Walmart. I realized the young soldiers in the photos were never coming home. I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to lose my son after having him for only 10 months.

I used Zane’s middle name, Dillon in the song and I also used his birthday, Aug. 21 to give it a personal touch.

Now when I sing the song I can’t get through it without getting the chills. I get goose bumps just thinking about it.”

Take My Picture was nominated for Country Song of the Year at the Canadian Radio Music Awards in 2011.

Former Ambush member Riq Turner will bring his music to The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill stage in Kemptville on May 20.

More recently Turner has had one of his new songs added to a compilation CD for Perth’s upcoming 200th anniversary. “I wrote Welcome Home about what it was like to move back to your hometown after years of being away,” he says, “It feels like you never really left. Every street has a story and every corner holds a memory. My wife and I moved our family back to my hometown of Perth and

it’s been great. Small towns like Perth and Kemptville are the best places to grow up in.”

Turner will be performing an evening of his own songs at The Branch in Kemptville Friday, May 20. Turner says, “It’s a pay what you want show so you have nothing to lose.”

The show is expected to sell out.

Reservations can be made by calling the Branch at 613-258-3737.

For 13 years Riq Turner was singing in one of the areas most popular “party bands”, Ambush. Although predominately relying on other peoples songs for their live shows, Turner was also the driving force behind the bands foray into writing and releasing their own songs.

While part of Ambush, Turner penned most of the bands original material. Songs like Till You and This Could Be The Night saw a lot of radio airplay across Canada and were very popular with the bands fan base. This Could Be The Night got Ambush on CMT Canada’s Plucked reality show.

As part of the show, a video was made for the song along with other songs by up and coming acts in the Canadian country music scene. CMT Canada held a competition to see which song could get the most votes, This Could Be The Night won hands down.

“They told us our song got more votes than all the other songs put together,” says Turner.

Throughout his 13 raucous cover band years, Turner was also writing songs that were not typical “party band” songs.

Wolford Public School students show their stuff in an evening of creativity and fun Wolford Public School celebrated its second annual Arts Evening on April 28.

Each class, from kindergarten to Grade 8 celebrated and demonstrated the arts in a variety of ways.

Each child also completed a painting for their parents and visitors to see. The theme was “Imagine” and the senior grades sang John Lennon’s famous song with accompanying guitarists to open the evening’s entertainment.

This was a ‘fun’ night in which a variety of games, events and food all helped show the creativity, talents and enjoyment of the children in the school, their own special place.

In this day and age all schools are involved in fund-

Star-studded cast battles it out on big screen MOVIE: Captain America: Civil War STARRING: Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Chadwick Bosseman, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany and Daniel Bruhl DIRECTORS: Anthony Russo and Joe Russo RATING: PG If you want to make a movie where two superheroes come to blows, Captain America: Civil War is how it’s done. Too bad all those other superhero movies that have the two heroes fight weren’t taking notes.

It begins with Captain America’s (Chris Evans) team attempting to stop some terrorists. One of the terrorists detonates his suicide vest, but the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) contains the blast.

Only she can’t hold it long enough, and the explosion takes out an office building.

In light of the tragedy, and because of the fallout of past events, the world wants The Avengers reigned in. They want accountability, they want oversight, they want control. Tony (Robert Downey Jr.) is in favour of it. He believes it will help prevent the deaths of innocent bystanders.

Steve doesn’t agree. He believes the bureaucracy will

cal charity. In their first year they raised money for the Ryan’s Well Foundation which has attained international recognition for funding the provision of fresh water supply for villages in Africa.

This year they have chosen the “Merrickville Bridge to Canada” as the recipient for the proceeds from the display of their imaginative ventures in the arts world.

Merrickville Bridge to Canada was both touched and flattered to be chosen

prevent them from acting when they need to.

Their disagreement comes to a head when a meeting of world leaders is bombed, and it looks like Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), The Winter Soldier is behind it. Steve wants to rescue his friend.

The authorities have instructions to shoot to kill. In the end Tony arrests everyone.

Lines are drawn. Heroes are forced to take sides. Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), The Scarlet Witch, Bucky and Ant Man (Paul Rudd) stand with Captain America. Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), War Machine (Don Cheadle), Black Panther (Chadwick Bosseman) The Vision (Paul Bettany) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland) stand with Iron Man. Both sides are right, both sides are willing to fight, and both sides are being manipulated.

I could go on and on about the special effects, the fight scenes, the chase sequences, and the action. It’s all incredible. It’s so real I half expected

to see Iron Man flying outside the theatre. The fluidity and grace of the action is breathtaking. The real joy of this film though is the story. It has been meticulously planned and perfectly executed.

Each layer and each piece of the story fits together seamlessly. Each twist and revelation leads you to a climax that’s mind blowing.

It’s jaw dropping to have all these comic book characters in one film, but to have them played by such a great list of actors is almost too much to comprehend.

Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Bosseman, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Paul Rudd, and Tom Holland are superheroes. They aren’t actors anymore. They’re superheroes.

It doesn’t matter how often Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. suit up for these movies because every time is awesome. There’s never a moment when it’s stale, and I will line up to see them every time they make one of these films.

Captain America: Civil War, like all the Marvel movies, isn’t just perfect in the moment, it builds anticipation for the next chapter. I can’t wait.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

In the average home, 75% of the electricity used to power home electronics and appliances is consumed while the products are turned off.

These “phantom energy” costs can be avoided by unplugging devices like cell phone chargers and househouse electrical appliances when they’re not in use.

LANARK COUNTY COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM Lanark County Council has approved a policy related to community grants which will take effect for the 2017 taxation year. The purpose of the Lanark County Community Grants Program is to provide direction in the distribution of taxpayer-funded grants to non-profit groups, and to define Lanark County community grants as “taxpayer-levied funds given to third-party organizations that do not have a signed contract for service with Lanark County.”

Grant applications will be evaluated on a number of objectives, reviewed by the Lanark County Community Services Committee and may be awarded to local projects that have a direct impact on the people of our community or an indirect impact by increasing the capacity of organizations to initiate and sustain local projects. Two terms of funding are available, including short-term project grants or program grants that would span the council term.

Program details, including the application form can be found online at www.lanarkcounty.ca, under ‘What’s New.’ Grant applications are due no later than September 15th, 2016. The review process will take place in October with notification following budget approval in November.

Completed applications and/or questions may be addressed to: Lanark County Clerk’s Office c/o Leslie Drynan, Deputy Clerk 99 Christie Lake Road, Perth, ON K7H 3C6 Phone: 613-267-4200 ext. 1502 Email: ldrynan@lanarkcounty.ca

Ray Verbeen noted that for him, the program is a stepping stone toward a larger career goal, “I’m looking forward to step up as an RPN, or to move into palliative care – I would love to eventually work in this capacity. To give people their last care. The PSW is the person who sees the residents most, we are there if they are sad, to talk with them, to see if they need anything. Not only to look after their needs, but to be a friend. It is a very important role in long-term care.”

Verbeen also noted that although he has yet to officially complete the program, he has already been asked to submit his resume for a permanent position at the long-term care facility where he is doing his placement. “They keep

Vincent Gerald Joseph Vincent

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear Father and Pop, Gerald Joseph Vincent.

Gerald, better known as Gerry, passed peacefully at the Perth hospital on Monday May 2nd, 2016. Gerry was born on September 14, 1942 and was special son to Leo and Pearl Kerr and special brother to Linda Williams and Dorothy (Rick) Oakes. He was the cherished uncle and father figure to Keith MacDonald (Cathy Crawford).

Always a man to be outdoors, Gerry was an exceptional gardener and enjoyed fishing, hunting and walks in the bush on his property. In his later years, he developed a love for golf and enjoyed many a summer day on the course.

Many will miss his unique sense of humour and his love of having a good laugh. There was never a dull moment when Gerry was around. A drywaller for 30 plus years, he was well known for his drywall business and took great pride in his work. Predeceased by his loving wife Irene Marjorie, Gerald leaves behind what he considered his greatest accomplishment and source of pride, his daughters Rhonda (Wayne McCullough) and Kathy (Ivan VanAlstine), son Joe (Wendy Donleavy) as well as his eight grandchildren Matt McCullough, Kiefer, Shanda, Keagan, Jesse, Austin, Chloe and Joshua Vincent. Dear Pop, “Though our hearts are deeply saddened at this time, we will forever take comfort in knowing that we had THE BEST. We love You.” The family would like to thank Dr Kruzilniki and the nurses and staff at the Perth Hospital for the excellent care they provided as well as their patience with the family in the final days. Gerald spoke highly of you all. Family and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life for Gerald on Sunday, May 15, 2016 from 2:00 P.M. to 6:00P.M. at the Stanleyville Hall. Those wishing are asked to consider memorial donations to the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Celebration of Life.

You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her, or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she’s gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Love your Family

Politicians seek answers from youth to keep them in the county Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Jeff Leal admits it – young people do not feel engaged.

They are “not being engaged or feeling part of a community today,” said Leal, the Liberal MPP for Peterborough, and Ontario’s minister for agriculture, food, and rural affairs, during his opening remarks at the “Mayor’s Round-Table on Youth Retention and Attraction in Rural Ontario.” The event was held in the Perth town hall council chambers on Monday, April 4. “I don’t think we are in tune with the younger citizens of Ontario.”

Leal said that that is unfortunate because politicians at municipal councils across the province, and at Queen’s Park in Toronto, are “making decisions that impact you all.” By having youth involved, it helps bring the debate “into the present.”

Leal has felt the frustration, having been elected to Peterborough city council at the age of 29 in 1985.

He recalled that then, as now, older people may have a bad perception of younger people, “those terrible teenagers and their skateboards running people down,” he said.

His council’s solution? Create a skateboard park.

Perth Mayor John Fenik, who was chairing the meeting, following a provincial funding announcement downstairs in the provincial offences court, encouraged the young people present, from schools all over the county, and from neighbouring Frontenac County, to speak their mind, since “you’ve got a man (here)

who will be seeing the premier shortly.”

Even in his position as a mayor, it can take “months or years for (a matter) to reach the premier’s office.”

The youth did not disappoint, or hold back.

“Better Internet access, that really goes hand-in-hand with business (development and retention),” said Jane Ford, of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI), who serves as a student representative on Smiths Falls town council.

“You’ve got to be able to support parents and their jobs,” added Jordan Drummond, also of SFDCI. Leal replied that, fortunately for a rural area like this, with food security and climate change being important issues, “that’s where the jobs will be,” and that the “centre of agriculture today” will be in the Great Lakes region.

“Smiths Falls has been really buffeted by economic decisions,” said Leal.

Fenik also stressed that even if there were jobs for youth, they needed to be well-paid jobs.

“Try to find an apartment when you are making minimum wage,” said Fenik. “You need the job that will cover the bills.”

Lanark Highlands Township Mayor Brian Stewart stated that, another barrier facing youth was transportation, even if affordable housing is factored in.

“Uber has its detractors,” admitted Leal. “But would an Uber-type system be helpful to rural Ontario?”

Fenik pointed to Ottawa and the expansion of light rail there, which he said was “great,” but added that

Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

At left, Ontario’s Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs Minister Jeff Leal, during the opening stages of the youth forum. Above, Aaron Keefe, representing the Granite Ridge Education Centre in Sharbot Lake, addresses the forum. he hoped that commuter rail could be extended out to Lanark County.

North Frontenac student Aaron Keefe said that “a lot of kids in my area don’t have cars,” but, they do have ATVS or snowmobiles.

North Frontenac Mayor Ron Higgins told the minister, “I’ve been struggling with this problem for years.” As the mayor of an area with no large population centre, “the youth leave because there are no jobs, or housing, or recreation.”

Mayor Bill Lowry of Loyalist Township admitted that youth were doubly in a bind if they were lucky

enough to find a job opportunity, “they want experience. But if you’re young…”

Picking up on Higgins’ point about recreation, Drummond said that “the movie theatre is really missed by kids” in Smiths Falls, when it closed down a few years ago. Now, a trip to the theatre means a trip to Brockville or Ottawa’s west end. Even Carleton Place’s movie theatre shut down several years ago.

On another recreation matter, Henry Norwood, representing Saint John Catholic High School in Perth, said that having recreational facilities

was good, but “keeping the facilities… up to date for sports” was just as important.

Higgins suggested that subsidized transport for movies or hockey games could be a solution.

Keeping youth in the area is one thing – but for Chris Hahn, the dean of the Perth campus of Algonquin College, attracting students locally and further afield is also a concern for him.

“We try to extol the virtues of living in this area,” Hahn said.

Lowry agreed that education was See YOUTH page P4

Rocky ramp observation decision deferred for citizen consultation Desmond Devoy

tesy,” he wanted to make sure that the residents were “kept in the loop.” By not deferring the action plan, Fenik said, “there is a bit of a gap here in closing the circle. I would be pleased to host a meeting in my office with all concerned.” During such a meeting, the town can lay out “our final position, what is your (the residents’) final position… it bodes well to have a face-to-face meeting.”

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

A decision on proceeding with the rocky ramp program has been deferred by Perth town council.

The four to three decision was made at the committee of the whole (COW) meeting on Tuesday, April 12, with Mayor John Fenik, Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, and councillors Ed McPherson and Riq Turner voting for a deferral, and councillors Judy Brown, Jim Boldt and Jim Graff voting against.

A report delivered by environmental services director Grant Machan stated that staff be directed to monitor the existing rocky ramp in the small channel at the Rainbow Bridge for the next 24 months, and “refer the amount of $50,000 to continue funding the Phase II Rocky ramp project,” for the 2017 budget deliberation process, wrote Machan.

Two residents whose property abuts the Rainbow Bridge property had appeared at the Feb. 2 COW meeting “to voice their concerns about the functionality and appearance of the rocky ramp structure that was completed in November 2015.”

“We aren’t going to do anything with the rocky ramp for 24 months,” said Fenik. “We will be monitoring. It’s doing exactly what it is supposed to do.”

While he said that “I don’t want to drag this out for citizens,” he also acknowledged that a decision on monitoring the rocky ramps meant that all engagement with citizens was at an end. “This (is) not going to end any discussion,” said Fenik. “I think we should defer this and have a final discussion. If the citizens are not satisfied with the response, let’s defer this,” said Fenik, referencing Machan’s report, which was meant to address the concerns of the nearby residents.

“Yes, we want involved citizens,” said Brown, but nothing will change for 24 months.

“I appreciate what the mayor is trying to do,” said Boldt, but he agreed with Graff, who noted that the residents had already had a chance to make their concerns felt at the February COW meeting.

The rocky ramp under construction.

“It’s going to take time,” said Boldt of the overall project. “I think we should move forward on this.”

Brown, who does not always vote the same way as Boldt, had a bit of fun at Boldt’s expense when she asked him to “brace himself because I am going to agree with him,” followed by a smile and a laugh from Boldt.

“We need that two years to assess,” said Brown.

Graff agreed, noting that the existing rocky ramp sits atop a clay bed, and there will be some settling in the months to come.

“The bottom line is for the first time, Stewart Park is not under water,” in the springtime, Graff said.

But McPherson said that, as a “common cour-

The dogs on the deck are deafening.

Perth’s police services board (PSB) has taken up the curious incident of the dogs in the night time, specifically, three dogs, two boxers and a “mutt,” on a second storey balcony on Church Street.

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, who has been in contact with a complaining resident in the area, advised her to talk to the dog owner directly about his pets, who are outside for as long as four hours some evenings.

“Three dogs in a small area,” said Gemmell during the PSB meeting on Thursday, April 28. “Please talk to him,” he advised, but “he doesn’t seem to care,” he heard of the owner.

“It’s a tough one,” Gemmell said. “She’s

at her wits end. Nothing is being done about it.”

Gemmell said he would get a hold of the town’s animal control official, Anita Stuart.

“You don’t want the police force down there every time a dog barks,” said Gemmell.

Insp. Derek Needham, detachment commander of the Lanark County OPP said that “it sounds like by-law is engaged,” but there may need to be some follow-up.

“Usually, you try to reach out to people and say, ‘Hey, man, use your head,’” said Gemmell.

PSB chairman Coun. Jim Graff remembered when Church Street was known as “Hound Alley,” because everyone hunted and had a pack of hunting dogs around.

However, Graff admitted that “no one hunts in that area any more.”

Municipal Connection www.perth.ca PARKING LOT CLOSURES:

POLICE WEEK:

Residents and individuals who work in the downtown are asked to take note that the Tay Basin Parking Lot and the Community Centre Parking Lot will be closed on Friday, May 20th, 2016, for most of the day.

In recognition of Police Week, the Lanark County Detachment of the OPP will host an Open House on Saturday, May 14th, 2016 from 10am until 2pm.

Members of the Detachment, East Region and Auxiliary Unit will be showcasing front line and specialist vehicles, equipment and skills. The emphasis will be that many of the “specialists” are Detachment members or reside locally.

Depending on operational commitments on the day, the community will be able to meet officers engaged in General Patrol, Canine, Emergency Response Team, Criminal Investigation, Identification Unit, Bicycle Patrol, Traffic Management, Auxiliary Program, and Marine Patrol. There will be guided tours of the Detachment every 30 minutes starting at 10.30am.

Parking will be in the front lot of the Detachment and the activities will take place in the lots behind the buildings. All are welcome to attend!

The Lanark County Detachment is located at 75 Dufferin Street, Perth.

This closure is to accommodate the Settlers’ Trek, a group of walkers, horses and covered wagons and canoeists, who will make their way from Brockville to Perth in a 3-day excursion, ending in the Perth Basin. The Trek route is based on the original 1816 route followed by the first Scottish immigrants and disbanded War of 1812 veterans, and is a celebration of Perth’s 200th Anniversary.

Enthusiasts, the P&DCI GeoVentures Class and the Royal Engineers are just a few who will participate in this event, which features a variety of heritage re-enactments and displays adjacent the Crystal Palace. The morning activities will incorporate the Regional Heritage Fair and is intended for students; the afternoon activities will be open to the public, which includes a parade into the Basin (Last Duel Park via Drummond Street) at approximately 1:45pm, followed by the opening ceremonies in the Basin at 2pm.

People should note that the parking lots adjacent the Library on Herriott Street and behind the Perth Museum will be open, with lots of available space, just a short walking distance to the Tay Basin. The Basin Parking Lot will open at the close of the festivities, around 5pm.

Perth Museum Bird Watching Tour

PICKLEBALL IS COMING TO PERTH: Pickleball – the fastest growing sport in the United States – has arrived in many parts of Canada, including the surrounding communities of Almonte, Carleton Place, Westport, and now Perth! Many of the Canadian enthusiasts have been exposed to the sport while wintering in the warmer climates south of the border.

It’s a great sport for everyone, young and old, irrespective of athletic ability.

Pickleball is a mixture of badminton, tennis and table tennis. It’s played on a badminton-sized court with a paddle that is similar to a ping-pong paddle (but larger), a whiffle ball and a mid-court net that is a bit lower than a tennis net.

The whiffle ball is a 3” plastic sphere with holes in it. When the ball is in flight, air rushes through it, slowing the speed of the ball. This means that pickleball can be played on a much smaller court than tennis. In fact, there is enough space on a tennis court for four pickleball courts. During the off-season, pickleball moves indoors, with badminton courts an attractive venue. Some courts have even been set-up in church basements on marked-out courts and with portable nets.

Two outdoor pickleball courts have been laid out at Conlon Farm, one on each of the two public tennis courts, to be shared with the tennis players. This is an informal activity with no membership fee. Beginner’s pickleball clinics will be held (weather permitting) Wednesday, May 11th at 10am and 6pm and again at the same times May 18th and 25th. Beginners are always welcome at the regular drop-in times, being every Tuesday 10am, Wednesdays 6pm and Fridays 10am, unless the tennis courts have been booked by the Town of Perth. Wear proper court footwear - paddles and balls will be supplied. For further information please e-mail: perthspickleball@gmail.com The 4th Perth Beavers and Cubs visited the Perth Fire Hall and learned about home escape planning, smoke alarms and even operated a fire hose.

YOUTH From page P1

important, but his focus was on the earlier years.

“Are we getting their (students’) minds rolling in high school?” he wondered. “What will give them a chance to succeed?”

Some schools give their students access to tools like 3D printers.

For rural political leaders and rural youth, there is another shared concern in having Ottawa, the province’s second-largest city, in our midst. Leal said he was aware of the concerns expressed at the eastern Ontario wardens’ conference that any new jobs or money would be sucked up by Ottawa.

It is a problem Keefe knows all too

well.

“We go to a small school,” said Keefe, who attends the Granite Ridge Education Centre in Sharbot Lake.

“When we apply for funding, we are competing with schools in Kingston.”

Tanis Cowan of the Youth Action Kommittee, Perth’s youth program, faces a similar problem when she applies for funding.

“Two-hundred kids? No, that’s not enough. You need 2,000,” Cowan said she will be told.

“That’s the problem with government funding,” said Leal. “It’s become so urban-centric.”

Even when programs do get funding, “people don’t know about them,” said Norwood.

He himself has benefitted from an eight-week program at St. Lawrence College, letting him intern as a level one apprentice.

“I have a job waiting for me in June,” said Norwood.

When it came to encouraging more youth engagement, Fenik suggested that the youth become politically active.

“Any person at this table… can

become a councillor,” said Fenik, so long as they are 18 years old and a Canadian citizen.

To this, Higgins joked: “I can’t understand why a youth would want to become a politician.”

However, Ford, the junior politician, was quick to say, “I get my friends involved too. I ask my friends’ opinion.”

Her town’s mayor, Shawn Pankow, said that this is the fourth year his

council has had student councillors on board, and “they are not simply there to be wallflowers. They are there to participate,” he said. “They are a great addition to the council.”

As the meeting drew to a close, Leal said to the youth leaders assembled around that, “I’ve seen some of Ontario’s best right here in this room.

Your comments have been invaluable to me.”

Flood of Food comes to a crescendo The third annual Flood of Food has peaked, but the waters will be receding back to area food banks, and into the kitchens of grateful families.

The last two pick-ups were made on Friday, May 6, at Maple Heart Public School in Lanark village, Lanark Highlands, and then,

later, at Glen Tay Public School in Tay Valley Township.

(The food collected in Lanark will stay at the village food bank, while the food collected in Glen Tay will go to The Table Community Food Centre’s Good Food Bank.)

May 19 historical society meeting delves into history of Drummond, North Elmsley townships The May 19 meeting of the Perth and District Historical Society will be hosted by the Township of Drummond/North Elmsley 200th Anniversary Committee. It will be presented in the Township Council Chambers at 310 Port Elmsley Road, Port Elmsley.

The theme of “From Past to Present – A Tour Through 200 years of History of Drummond and North Elmsley Townships” promises an entertaining evening. It will carry us through the municipality’s early stories from its beginning, before the Perth Military Settlement, to the present day. Our evening presenters will include Karl Grenke, township planner and staff co-ordinator for the township’s 200th anniversary celebrations. He will in-

troduce the background and profile, including early settlement patterns, of the two municipalities and the hamlets comprising the area, and other interesting facts.

Irene Spence, well-known local historian and co-author of Forgotten Hero, Alexander Fraser, will provide a sneak preview of the upcoming book on North Elmsley Township. An anniversary legacy project, Doorway to the Past, will provide previously untold stories and memorable photographs of this important part of the united township.

This evening will also feature an anthology of stories from residents sharing their own stories and memories of living – on farm and/or lake – and

growing up in the United Townships.

Come and hear about the many exciting activities coming up to mark Drummond/North Elmsley Township’s part of our area’s 200th anniversary. The township is an integral part of Perth and district with a shared history and way of life from early days to the present.

We are pleased to be continuing our anniversary year partnership with the Perth Legion, Lake 88 and Maximilian’s Dining Lounge. This month’s meeting will have another free draw for a $25 gift certificate, courtesy of Maximilian’s, for those attending the meeting. We also appreciate the continuing support of this paper.

Society is dedicated to learning about and popularising our local history. As such, for this month, we direct our attention to a neighbouring area by taking our regularly scheduled meeting for this month to one of our partnering townships – the United Townships of Drummond/North Elmsley. The meeting is open to the public and will be at 7:30 p.m. The usual “toonie fee” applies.

OPINION I

Connected to your community

Denial is a river in Africa

haven’t written about my ears in a while…kind of on purpose… but they’ve been yelling at me lately so I figure I might as well now.

For anyone who has been following along, you may remember I started experiencing some weird tinnitus a while ago. This is not the regular I-was-ata-really-loud-rock-concert-last-night kind of ear ringing. It features a wide variety of noises, such as waterfalls, whistling, heavy trucks idling nearby, a humming that I figure is the electrical grid, tinny echoes and – my favourite – a bizarre filter that makes voices (especially deep male ones) sound like Darth Vader. It’s never dull.

Various to-ing and fro-ing to doctors has led to the suspicion it might be a chronic condition that will come and go and may ultimately lead to some hearing loss. We’re still assessing.

Faced with that irritating prognosis, I did what I had thus far avoided – research. (The Interwebs can be a scary place. Usually, for example, we’re all going to die.) I wondered if, for instance, my ear weirdness could be tied to flareups in my joints that we were all happily (okay, not happily) calling arthritis.

Was inflammation at the root of everything?

My doctor and I explored the theory a bit further and ruled out some suspects. It seems, at least so far, that the arthritis and the ear thingy together are just a charming coincidence.

Getting older is fun!

Meanwhile, I had been keeping a journal to look for patterns. When my ears amped up, what had I eaten? Had I slept well? Was there stress? What was the weather like? Were my knees hurting? Were the planets aligned?

It was very frustrating. Just when I thought I could see a pattern, it would change. It was like living with a cranky toddler who drops a nap just when you are getting used to a lovely sleep routine.

Some of the reading I did showed a link between taking certain over-thecounter pain medications and ear problems. That was bad news for the aching knees, but I decided to try giving those up for a time to see if it made a difference. To combat the pain, I tried some herbal remedies.

It seemed as if things on both fronts were a bit better, but not dramatically.

Was it merely wishful thinking?

Around that time I had another appointment with my otolaryngologist.

(Is that not the BEST word?) Any time

Past Deadline

Stephanie Gray

I have gone to see him my ears have been awesome, of course. The tinnitus fades and I pass the hearing tests with flying colours. Again…like a toddler. “I swear, Doctor, this kid had a fever and was acting totally sick when we left the house.”

Nevertheless, we moved forward on the chronic-ear-thingy theory and he prescribed three medications. One will make me spend most of the day in the bathroom (since the issue appears to be related to too much fluid in the ears). One will help replenish stuff lost by spending the day in the bathroom (other than time and dignity). And the third is one that has mixed reviews – it may or may not help the ear issue, but it won’t hurt.

Sigh. Soon I’m going to need one of those daily pill-tracking containers.

I reluctantly went to the pharmacy and had the prescriptions filled. When I collected them and spoke to the pharmacist, I explained about the ears and the arthritis and dutifully asked about whether the herbal remedies would cause any issues with these medications.

“Well,” she said, “They will basically cancel one another out, so you’ll have to choose.”

I hate choosing.

And so began a lesson on how inflammation and fluid retention are not the same thing. (Sometimes, even though I have been on the planet for decades, certain knowledge eludes me.)

Giant. Exasperated. Sigh.

I stomped home. I may have even slammed a door. I have stashed the pills away, stopped taking the herbal stuff, continue to avoid the over-the-counter pain medication and decided to cut down on dairy just for kicks.

Coincidentally (?), the tinnitus went away for several weeks and the joint pain subsided. I held my breath and chose not to speak of it in case I jinxed it.

Buuuut…it’s back – for no discernible reason – at least as far as patterns go.

Oh well. Take a deep breath. Eat vegetables. Be nice to animals.

Carry on.

Bartleman returns to Perth, pen in hand

hanks for your message, I’ll be back on May 16.

Man, oh man… it’s vacation time and I’m outta here!

My dear friend, Maxine and I have left the country – not to return until the cows come home. Sometimes, I wonder if that’s possible and where that saying comes from. I’m sure my mother knows, as she has a lot of sayings that make no sense whatsoever. That’s another column though. My former editor, Anne and I had a whiteboard at The Gananoque Reporter with ‘Gwen’s Gems’ in black marker written across the top. Every other day I’d come in and add another gem to the whiteboard… like ‘That Really Jars Your Preserves”. Every day, Anne would ask me for the gem of the day. Some were hysterical, others we’d scratch our heads about. But Mother always had an explanation for each and every one.

So as I write this, Max and I are preparing for our getaway to St. Jacobs. This will be our fourth year going to Mennonite country, which we do in early May. We look forward to it each year, and by November, we’re counting the days until our next visit. Just to get away from our regular awesome lives is fun. We enjoy

LAURIE WEIR Weir View our time together, the peacefulness of the simple life there. Sometimes – rarely – we even unplug our phones, but at least my computer will be on sleep mode for a while. I’m sure my sweet baby and my fur kids will be fine without me, but I have Mom on standby, just in case.

It’s a time for us to rejuvenate our souls; get caught up on our lives, giggle a lot, solve the world’s problems and all that. Sure we do that now, but our time together always seems to rush by in a hurried commotion. As Mom would say, we don’t have enough time to cross ourselves. Yes, another gem.

This year, we’ve extended our vacation to four days. Normally, we stay for three, but we found that three days certainly wasn’t long enough for the trouble we may find, adventures sought or the food consumed. We need a week just to walk off the extra calories. We joked that we need to fast for a few days prior to going away.

vacation together four years ago, I wasn’t sure how that was going to fly.

But knowing Max for the better part of my life, I figured there was nothing we couldn’t work out. We definitely travel well together. We are both early risers. We love the roads less travelled and look for the highlights along the way. We are not in a hurry (only to find a bathroom once in a while) and we don’t plan anything, except maybe where we’re going on which day, but other than that, we fly by the seat of our pants. We don’t do the hourly planning as that would drive us both bonkers. At the end of a day, after a walk at sunset, we retire to our rooms for our own time. It’s perfect.

Where we stay is at a wonderful bed and breakfast in nearby Hawkesville on the Conestoga River. We have our own little apartment, which is part of the hosts’ home. The sun rises through my window, sets through hers. The breakfasts are to die for – it would feed us for an entire day.

The owners are wonderful souls with plenty of knowledge of the area. Our host, Heather, is always warm and welcoming and offers advice on road trips and what we can photograph (that’s my big quest). Her Mennonite

Le t ter to the Editor

Why finances should matter to taxpayers in Rideau Lakes Township: Reader

DEAR EDITOR:

Editor’s note: The following is an open letter to: Rideau Lakes Township councillors and mayor; Allan Scott, Regional Office of Municipal Affairs and Housing; Heather Skelton, Office of Ontario Ombudsman; Office of MPP Steve Clark; members of the local press, Rideau Lakes Council Watch Facebook Members.

The municipal government of Rideau Lakes has spent more money than they took in over a six year period, adding up to $1.18 million dollars. Due to this mismanagement, taxes are being significantly increased. When councillors and residents have pleaded for a transparent accounting regarding why this occurred, they have been told time-andagain: “Nothing to see here, please move on.”

Why taxpayers questions need to be answered: In order to have our confidence re-

stored in our municipal government, certain hypothetical situations need to be ruled-out. This will only occur with complete transparency.

Hypothetical situation #1: The chairman of the board of company RLT, knew that his company was losing money over several years, but understood that revealing that information to the board of directors might threaten his chance at being reelected as chairman. Consequently, he concealed the loss.

In this example, the chairman’s self-interest is of greater importance to him than the best interest of company RLT, and should be forced to resign immediately.

Hypothetical situation #2: The Cochairman of the board or the CEO of the company bullied the treasurer to not release the truth about the lagging financial picture of company RLT. In this example, the treasurer’s failure to take a stand against the

bullies means he can be manipulated throughout the future. His fiscal reporting will now always be in doubt.

What occurred at the last council meeting: Monday night at the council meeting, Coun. Jeff Banks asked the question: “When did staff know about the hidden deficit?” To which Mayor Ronald Holman quickly responded, “That question is out of order!”

Later, Coun. Claire Gunnewick asked the mayor specifically, “When was the first you knew about the hidden deficit?” To which the mayor rebuffed, “The same time the councillors knew about it.”

This is why, my question at the end of the meeting was phrased as follows: “Mr. Mayor, this is a ‘yes/no’ question: For the deficit accumulated in 2013, did you have knowledge of its existence, on or during, the year 2014?”

“I already answered that question,” said the mayor.

“Please clarify it for me, with a yes or no response, sir,” I encouraged.

Put another way, it’s your land and “You’ve already been given my anmoney. Don’t let 10 strangers decide swer,” he said.

“I don’t know what your answer what’s best for it! Get to know your is?” I insisted. “A yes or no answer councillor today! will suffice.”

Scott Warren “My answer has been given,” Mr. Rideau Lakes Holman stated flatly.

The answers we need as taxpayers: In order to trust our government Barker Willson Professional again, we need to be sure that none of Corporation Barristers & Solicitors the hypothetical situations presented above are true. This can happen by the mayor and the treasurer answering these simple questions, and by independent verification of those answers: - “Mayor Holman, in what month/ year did you learn of the deficits?”

- “Treasurer Whyte, when were you first aware of these accumulating hidCraig S. Halpenny Corporate, Commercial, Real Estate, den deficits? Has anyone ever advised Estate Planning and Administration you not to report them?”

Corporate/Business Law Residents of Rideau Lakes Town- Real Estate ship, we have been given a wake up - Wills and Estate Law call. The only thing protecting us from infringing bylaws and financeCall 613•267•2800 ext. 105 bleeding is to become an engaged and for an appointment informed public.

neighbours are agreeable if her guests want to photograph them while working their land using teams of horses. This is always a treat to see.

One year, I hunkered down in a ditch trying to catch a horse and buggy in the sunset. Little did I know that this particular farmer had given the all clear to capture him with my camera.

So much for the skinned up knees and bug bites.

We hit the market in St. Jacobs and have a buffet dinner at a wonderful restaurant called, Crossroads. We head to the Waterloo mall for incidentals and have also travelled to a great little store in Cambridge where you can purchase any game or candy from

In St. Jacobs there are many cool shops to meander around in and hundreds of goods to browse through at the several antique markets we have found in our travels.

A couple years ago we saw Lake Huron from Goderich. This time we’re doing a waterfall tour to Owen Sound en route to Georgian Bay. But that’s just one day of adventure we have in store.

One never knows where we’ll end up, but I do know that we’ll have fun no matter where we go.

See you next week!

I would like to thank everyone who supported us in our 5 years as NEWMAR Equipment and Tire. As of April 31st we will be closing our doors to the public so we can focus on maintaining our own service vehicles and heavy equipment.

NEWMAR’S creation was to service our own fleets in house and it grew into something much bigger you the public coming to us for tires, hydraulic repairs, fleet services etc. In the last couple years the construction side of our business has grown significantly venturing into energy, oil and utility projects throughout Canada and the US and this growth has also added to our fleet size making our repair and maintenance program triple and in order to facilitate our fleet we need to use our own in house capabilities to keep our machines moving.

Perth has many great repair facility’s which we had the opportunity to work with such as Noonan’s Automotive, Lentz Automotive, Advanced Transmission and Perth Tire to name a few. I would also like to thank Lanark County Ambulance Services and the OPP for trusting us to keep your emergency vehicles maintained.

Again I would like to thank you for your patronage.

citizens with “grievous and irremediable medical conditions” should have the right to ask a doctor to help them end their life. The ruling essentially struck down Criminal Code of Canada restrictions against doctor-assisted suicide, but stayed the decision, to give the federal government a year to draft new legislation to deal with this matter.

However, in the intervening months, last October’s federal election saw Justin Trudeau’s Liberals elected to a majority government. The Trudeau administration then asked the court for an extension and, once this was granted, got to work formulating the recently announced Bill C-14.

“Much debate continues to circulate around the bill,” said Veronica Felizardo, the co-president of the Catholic Women’s League at Saint John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church. “In fact, this bill was debated in the House of Commons today (May 3),” for second reading.

St. John’s priest, Fr. Brian McNally, noted that the next day would mark 12 hours of prayer for palliative care at his church and others across Canada, to seek an “expansion of palliative care to meet the needs of anyone who is dying,” he said, before leading the assembled in prayer, asking for divine guidance to “direct the decisions of our governments and courts.”

The bill, presented by Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, would amend the criminal code to “create exemption from the offences of culpable homicide, of aiding suicide and of administering a noxious thing to permit medical practitioners and nurse practitioners to provide medical assistance in dying and to permit pharmacists and other persons to assist in the process.”

The bill would also “specify the eligibility criteria and the safeguards that must be respected before medical assistance in dying may be provided to a person.”

But Patrick expressed concerns that once the door is open to euthanasia for the terminally ill, it could be expanded to other vulnerable groups too. Having worked at the Children’s Hospital for Eastern Ontario’s clinic for children with severe disabilities, he said that “those children are a role within society, to civilize us… They are closer to God than any of us. They do not take a grudge into tomorrow.”

Speaking clearly from an unashamedly Christian viewpoint, he urged Christians, and other religious people, to fight the law, saying that it contravenes what he feels to be a law superseding man’s law – God’s law.

“If God does not give us a law, who controls the judges?” he asked.

He criticized U.S. President Barack Obama for saying that the law of the land must be obeyed, following, for example, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage, which some judges and officials in Alabama and elsewhere in the Deep South were not upholding.

“That, for a black president to say (you must follow the law) is outrageous,” said Patrick, pointing that the court’s rulings are sometimes immoral and wrong, like the 1857 Dred Scott ruling (officially, Dred Scott v. Sandford). According to PBS, the “court decided that all people of African ancestry – slaves as well as those who were free – could never become citizens of the United States and therefore could not sue in federal court.

The court also ruled that the federal government did not have the power to prohibit slavery in its territories.”

Patrick admitted that he himself had had to contend with difficult ethical questions when it comes to medi-

He said he used to feel that it was a woman’s choice whether she had an abortion or not. But after taking time aside to really think the issue through, he changed his mind and has gone on to give more than 80 lectures on his pro-life views.

His more liberal-minded opponents, he says, see the justice system differently. In university classes on women’s studies, African studies, and homosexual studies, students are taught that “the law is about power, not justice. We need to recognize that that is what they are teaching.”

As for euthanasia, “even in church, a lot of people are in favour of euthanasia, because they simply have never thought it through.”

“We no longer have a moral consensus in the western world,” he said, thanks to the march of relativism, with its mantras like “all truth is relative – which is crazy.” One of his former students, who later attended McMaster University in Hamilton, put his hand up after the first slide of a PowerPoint presentation had been shown.

The slide said, “there are no absolutes.”

He questioned the professor how that could be so – when such a declaration itself was an absolute statement.

“Our minds have been in the deep freeze,” said Patrick. “We need to learn to think again.”

Even over the past few centuries, “we haven’t gotten anywhere with deductive reasoning.” Even in the world of science, things are always changing and evolving, with the works of Newton replaced by Einstein, in time – but for Patrick, moral law remains the same: something is honourable or dishonourable, there is justice or injustice, there is love or there is hate.

Rideau Lakes annual plant sale runs May 21 The Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society is holding its annual plant sale Saturday, May 21, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. (or until sold out), at the Delta Agricultural Building.

Anyone who is new to this sale should be forewarned that people generally line up a half-hour or more before the doors open.

New this year is a pre-sale draw for these early birds. A loonie gives one the chance to enter the hall 15 minutes before start time, receive a free plant and choose another plant for purchase before doors open.

There will also be coffee available before 9 a.m., by donation.

The society has a quick checkout method, refined over years of holding the sale, which makes egress from the hall fast and simple. About an hour after the doors have opened, the sale is pretty much a done deal, but society staff stay on for any who may wish to linger over their planting decisions, get information about a plant they’ve purchased, or are considering purchasing, or just catch up with friends.

As you go through spring startup in your garden, you may have some plants and items you no longer require. The society would be happy to take these off your hands for its sale. Contact Mark Stevens at 613928-2652 or mkbjstevens@bell.net to arrange digging up or pickup, or just drop them off at the Delta Agricultural Building anytime during the afternoon of Friday, May 20.

The plant sale is the society’s major annual fundraiser to finance their programs, such as edible tree and pollinator plantings, community gardens, bursaries for high school graduates attending horticulturerelated studies, speaker series, and public garden features throughout Rideau Lakes.

Legion welcomes Ride for Disabled Vets, supporting Wounded Warriors Terry O’Hearn

A total of 302 motorcycles poured into the legion parking lot on Saturday morning, May 7, in support of Wounded Warriors Canada, exceeding expectations for both number of participants and money raised. The 150-km ride started and ended at Stittsville, and the Perth Legion was a major stop before the finish.

The riders were greeted by legion president Eric Devlin, first vice-president John Gemmell and other members of Branch 244. Refreshments and the legion facilities were made available, and several member volunteers were on hand from early morning getting ready for the riders.

The Ride for Disabled Vets began in 2014, when four serving military members and veterans decided to stage a local motorcycle charity ride, and that ride managed to raise $7,500 for the Wounded Warriors PTSD recovery program. Organizer Adwin “OJ” Gallant was pleased with this year’s results.

Robin Hull, from the Alzheimer’s Society of

6 August 1914 Captain Gault’s offer was provisionally accepted by the Canadian Government.

Authority was granted on 10 August 1914 to raise and equip an infantry battalion, with the remainder of the cost being defrayed by the Department of Militia and Defence. On 10 August 1914 the Charter of the Regiment was signed and the next day mobilization began. Veteran Days of yore Beneath a photo in The Perth Courier dated soldiers flocked from every part of Canada to February 6, 1985: “Finishing first in Fun Day enlist. Eight days later the new Regiment had Curling at Perth Curling Club on Sunday, January 27; team poses with trophy, from left: Bert Cameron, 34d; Howard Fournier, skip; Bernice Mulville, lead; Del Harper, 2nd. Event coordinator Jack Byrne is in background. Bob Day, Winnie Gilbert and Sheila Marjorum made up the committee. Appreciation for prizes is extended to Jergens Canada Inc., Norm Davis, Cam Chaplin and Branch 244 Legion.”

Lanark County Situation Table model eyed for Renfrew County Desmond Devoy

what it was they did. And if he was surprised, he knew that his officers would not have a full picture either.

So far, about 66 per cent of the cases referred to the table come from the OPP, but “it’s largely because of the data collecting they already do,” said Gray. Mental health and addictions also take up a lot of their time, with “transportation and isolation,” identified as major problems in the county.

“We knew this was an issue, not a huge surprise,” said Gray, adding that housing was also a concern.

As for Needham, the busier the table is at solving and addressing these problems, it may mean less business for him. “We want to reduce the number of calls for service,” said Needham.

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Renfrew County knows a good thing when it sees it.

And it likes what it sees in Lanark County’s Situation Table.

Back in May of 2014, Stephanie Gray heard during that year’s Ontario Association of Police Services Boards (OAPSB) conference in Toronto from a presenter from North Bay, who was talking up what was called a “community hub” of crime prevention.

Gray was, at that time, the chair of the Perth Police Services Board (PSB).

Little did she realize at the time but she would soon take that idea and run with it, necessitating her to leave the PSB so she could help form a similar group here in Lanark County – and which she is now in talks with Renfrew County about spinning off there, following a presentation last month.

Gray and others decided to forego the name “hub” since it was too similar to other community initiatives in the county (The Two Rivers Food Hub in Smiths Falls, or, The Hub charity store in Almonte, to give two examples.) In August of 2014, the grant money that had been applied for a local version of the hub came in, and was integrated into the Perth PSB’s business plan.

In time, the Situation Table was created, but Insp. Derek Needham, detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, stressed that it was not established to address any perceived crime waves, but to address the underlying social problems that can create crime.

“I don’t have any streets in Lanark County (that) I’d worry about sending my wife down,” said Needham, during the OAPSB Zone 2 annual general meeting at the Crystal Palace in Perth on Friday, April 15. But a group like the Situation Table was created to address an unintended consequence of years of privacy legislation, which “has caused a lot of our community partners to shrink the information they were sharing.”

The Situation Table gets social agencies around the same table and, in a manner of speaking, on the same page, to deal with individual cases before they reach the courts, or, failing that, to prevent them from getting worse. “(We deal with) people who are on the brink of going off of the rails, so to speak,” said Gray. “People at acutely elevated risk.”

Their job is “to identify what some of the root causes of crime were and to drill down,” said Needham. It’s about “getting agencies to talk.”

The group meets every second week and “they identify a lot of young people early on,” while making sure that “we operate within all parameters of privacy legislation.” However, there is what Needham described as a “yeah, but” clause in privacy legislation.

“You can share if somebody is at risk.

Insp. Derek Needham, left, detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, and Stephanie Gray, chair of the Lanark County Situation Table, during their joint presentation to the Zone 2 branch of the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards (OAPSB) annual general meeting at the Crystal Palace in Perth on April 15. spouting off,” but there are checks and balances.

“The information and privacy commissioner has endorsed what we are doing,” said Gray.

A person’s case is brought to the table, with just enough information for attending 19 Lanark County agencies to see if they can help, but not so much information as to be able to identify the person.

Looking back at that conference in Toronto, Gray said she was “inspired” by a presentation by Karyn McCluskey, director of the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit, described by the British newspaper The Guardian as “The woman who took on Glasgow’s gangs.”

“She inspired me with this ‘crime is a public health issue,’” she said.

It took some time, however, here in Ontario, to convince people that this sort of idea was “legal, ethical, and morally acceptable,” said Needham. “It took a little time,” to build up trust, he said. “I viewed it more as a courtship… we didn’t ask for the hand in marriage right away.” But he was pleasantly surprised by how many agencies said, ‘I do.’

“One hundred per cent of the agencies agreed to sit down and participate,” said Neehdam.

Now, Gray continues to be inspired, not just by a Scottish crime fighter, but, closer to home too. “(After) every meeting, I am walking away inspired by the work that they do,” said Gray.

Needham has been a big proponent of using analytics to “drill down,” with problems, using it for everything from charting domestic violence statistics

to seeing which intersections in Perth have the highest rates of collisions.

But Needham admitted that it can be difficult to keep track of “who’s who at the zoo, and what they do.” Even he was surprised to find out that some agencies existed in the county, and just

Fenik tells council to stick to process SPRING HEARING SAVINGS

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth Mayor John Fenik has taken Coun.

Ed McPherson to task for trying to push through a motion without it going through proper channels.

“I am going to have a hard time presiding over council without proper vetting,” said Fenik during the Tuesday, April 26 town council meeting.

McPherson had been trying to get council to direct staff to come up with a policy for who can use Stewart Park.

“It’s the only section of town for which we do not have a policy for use,” explained McPherson, but Coun. Jim Boldt still had some questions about it.

“Are we looking at limiting certain groups?”

Boldt wondered, adding he was “a little unsure about the direction,” of McPherson’s query.

“If it’s not an emergency, it can wait until fall,” said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell of McPherson’s motion.

Fenik told McPherson that his motion would have to go to the next committee of the

whole (COW) meeting on Tuesday, May 10.

Otherwise, if motions such as this were presented in a “formal council meeting,” then, “why have a committee of the whole meeting?”

“I’m not trying to railroad council,” said McPherson.

Later in the meeting, McPherson attempted to make amends with Fenik.

“I have a surprise for you,” said McPherson. “I was going to make a motion tonight,” said McPherson, in relation to the paths in Stewart Park. “(But) I won’t,” and will wait for the May 10 COW meeting.

During the budget deliberations earlier this year, McPherson said he had taken out money for the paths as he felt it was not money well spent because of the flooding that used to occur in the park every spring. However, now that flooding has ceased to be as big of an issue in the park because of the new rocky ramp at the Rainbow Bridge, and with fish spawning in the Little Tay for the first time in more than a century, “I feel bad. In budget, I took it out,” promising that it will be “coming back.”

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

The Saint John Catholic High School (SJCHS) junior boys soccer team avenged an earlier loss by their senior brothers to Almonte and District High School (ADHS) on Monday afternoon, defeating the ADHS juniors 3-1.

Earlier on the afternoon of Monday, May 9, the SJCHS senior team was not able to register a single score, going down to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of ADHS. The SJCHS junior boys managed to pull off the only win of any Perth soccer team on Monday.

Across town at Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI), the senior boys were able to rack up a highscoring, respectable game, though they came up short, being defeated by Carleton Place High School (CPHS) 4-3.

PDCI track and field team puts in impressive showing at TISS meet On Saturday, May 7, the PDCI track and field team traveled to Brockville to compete in the 40th annual Hungerford-TISS Invitational with 40 other schools from across Ontario and Quebec.

The team was led by Braiden Nichols who won both the senior girls discus at 33.88m and shot put at 11.86m. Mathew Ferguson won the senior boys 110m hurdles in a season best 14.56, and turned a few heads while winning the sr. boys long jump, twice jumping 6.62m. This breaks the 29-year-old school record by 1 cm held by Neil Watson set in 1987.

Lauren Miller won the midget girls 800m race with a remarkable time of 2:21.23 which shattered the school record by four seconds. This

time would have been top six in the province last year. Miller added a second place finish in the 400m in a time of 1:03.04. She finished the day by moving up to run the first leg of the winning jr. girls 4x100m relay team with Olivia Bourque, Breanna Fournier, and Sydney Deacon.

Darcy Bingley finished off the top performances by winning the midget boys high jump with a leap of 1.76m, breaking the school record in the process. Ben Bellamy ran to a second place finish in the junior boys 800m, Olivia Bourque was third in junior girls triple jump, and Austin Tryon was third in junior boys shot put.

The team is competing this week at the LCIAA championships on Wednesday and Thursday, May 11 and 12 in Carleton Place.

Golfers back on the links after long winter Perth Golf Course Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tuesday Twilight League started the season on May 3, 2016 with over 80 golfers. It was nice to see several new members as well as the ones returning from previous years. The league starts at 5:30 p.m. during May and there is room for more golfers. Just contact the golf course or come in next Tuesday and Ed Carnrite will sign you up. All golfers are welcome and if you are by yourself Ed will put you in a group. Golfers meet upstairs after the golf for some excellent food and draw prizes.

Brankin Plumbing sponsored the night and supplied several draw prizes for the golfers.

Some golfers never lost their touch over the winter. Jeff Smith scored a 35 on the front for low gross but Terry Powers and Rob Burns were close on his heels with 38s.

Long drives are being recognized again this year in age categories of over 70, over 55 and 55 and under on both the front and back 9. Winners were Bob Pelletier, John Code, Terry Perkings, JP Lesage and Jim Steinberg. The name of each winner will go into a draw for a dozen golf balls at the end of each month.

Tom Burns and Burns Jewelers is sponsoring a draw for a gift card at our closing tournament.

Each week the closest to the pin on No. 8 will receive an entry form. This week John Powers was closest.

Lanark Landing Restaurant in Lanark is sponsoring a gift card each week for the closest to the pin on No. 15 and this week Gary Leach claimed the prize.

Perth Golf Course co-owner Jim Baxter announces his retirement With more than 44 years in the golf business, Perth Golf Course co-owner Jim Baxter has announced his retirement, effective immediately.

Baxter has sold his interest in Perth Golf Course, Canada’s oldest golf course, to his partners, owners, and friends, Dave Trick and Mark Beveridge.

Baxter began his career in the golf industry in Sarnia at Greenwood Golf Club, and then moved to nearby Lombardy, to Lombard Glen Golf Club. He spent 19 years at Perth.

“I would like to thank everyone who has ever been in-

volved at the course, as a member, volunteer or friend, for your support the last 19 years.

Without that support, it would have been impossible to have achieved the goal we set,” said Baxter. “I have decided it is the time to retire.”

Working with Baxter was a pleasure for the management team at Thunderbird Management Services Inc. (TMSI), who became involved with Perth Golf Course in 2015.

“Working with Jim and the other owners has been excellent,” explained Rob Knights, vice-present of operations for TMSI. “Jim has been a fixture

in the golf community in the Perth area for many years, and we wish him all the best on his well-deserved retirement.”

Over the past 19 years there have been many changes to Perth Golf Course, but the highlight for Baxter was the expansion of the course from nine to 18 holes in 2000. Baxter fondly remembers giving each participant of the inaugural tournament a strip of turf to hit from, as the grass had not yet fully grown in.

“That was most enjoyable, with the designing, developing and construction of the back nine holes being a great chalSubmitted photo

The accolades keep coming for Bailey Andison of Smiths Falls. Andison who is at the University of Denver on a full scholarship, was advised on May 9 that she was the recipient of the university’s ‘Premier Sportswoman of the Year’ award. This award covers all sports at the campus. Andison had no idea about the award and as a first year (freshman) it came as a bigger surprise.

lenge,” said Baxter. “Many changes and upgrades have taken place to the existing nine holes, and I hope all these changes and upgrades to the course, clubhouse and parking lot have added to the en-

joyment of everyone who has played Perth Golf Course.”

Baxter is confident Trick and Beveridge are looking forward to building a better and improved course for the future.

“I would like to thank all

Carbon Monoxide Safety Tips

Ontario law requires that working smoke alarms be located on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. Failure to comply with the Fire Code smoke alarm requirements could result in a ticket for $360. or a fine up to $50,000 for individuals or $100,000 for corporations.

• test smoke alarms monthly • change the battery in each smoke alarm once a year or whenever the low-battery warning sounds • vacuum the exterior of the smoke alarm using the soft bristle attachment on the vacuum cleaner • replace smoke alarms that are more than ten years old • always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing, testing and maintaining smoke alarms

Carbon Monoxide Alarms are the law.

Often called the silent killer, carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, and methane) burn incompletely. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel can be sources of carbon monoxide.

Failure to comply with the Fire Code carbon monoxide alarm requirements could result in a ticket for $360 or a fine up to $50,000 for individuals or $100,000 for corporations.

Make Your BBQ a Sizzling Success Few things can match the fun and enjoyment of a barbecue with family and friends. Practice sensible, safe barbecuing and your summer get together will be a sizzling success.

Season Opener

At the start of the BBQ season, do this three-step safety check of your BBQ: 1. Clean: Use a pipe cleaner or wire to ensure burner ports are free of rust, dirt, spider webs or other debris.

2. Check: Examine the hose leading from the tank to the burners. Replace if cracked or damaged.

3. Test: Find leaks by applying a 50/50 solution of water and dish soap to propane cylinder connections and hoses.

If bubbles appear, tighten the connection and/or replace the damaged parts and retest.

Home Owners

DO… • keep loose clothing away from a hot barbecue • keep children and pets at a safe distance • turn gas valve off first when finished, then turn off the burner controls, so no gas is left in the connecting hose • allow the BBQ to cool completely before closing the cover DO NOT… • leave the BBQ unattended when in use • allow grease to build up on the burners or at the base of the barbecue as this could cause a grease fire • throw water on a grease fire – this will only spread the flame • position your barbecue too close to wooden fences or walls. Make sure the area behind your BBQ is free of combustible material, since this is where hot gases escape

• Generators should be used in well ventilated locations outside away from doors, windows and vent openings.

• Never use a generator in an attached garage • Place generators so that exhaust fumes can’t enter the home through doors, windows or vents.

• Make sure to install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your home.

• Turn off generators and let them cool down before refueling.

• Never refuel a generator while it is running.

• Store fuel in a container that is intended for and is correctly labeled. Store containers outside of living areas.

• CO alarms should be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home and in other locations where required by applicable laws, codes or standards. For the best protection, interconnect all CO alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound.

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for placement and mounting height.

• Choose a CO alarm that has the label of a recognized testing laboratory.

• Call your local fire department’s non-emergency number to find out what number to call if the CO alarm sounds.

• Test CO alarms at least once a month; replace them according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• If the audible trouble signal sounds, check for low batteries.

If the battery is low, replace it. If it still sounds, call the fire department.

• If the CO alarm sounds, immediately move to a fresh air location outdoors or by an open window or door. Make sure everyone inside the home is accounted for. Call for help from a fresh air location and stay there until emergency personnel.

Have your appliances checked annually, including woodstove and fireplace chimneys. For more carbon monoxide information log onto www.tssa.org.

Campfires Check with your local fire department, municipality, or Ministry of Natural Resources to determine whether open air burning is permitted before having a campfire or burning brush. If open burning is allowed, fires should be built on bare soil or on exposed rock. Remove leaves and twigs from around the fire to keep it from spreading. Always keep a bucket of water, sand, or even a shovel close by and supervise the fire at all times.

• Never build a campfire on a windy day. Sparks or embers from the fire could travel quite a distance setting an unintentional fire.

• Watch the wind direction to ensure sparks aren’t getting on flammable materials. Put the fire out if wind changes begin to cause concern.

• Use crumpled paper and/or kindling to start a fire rather than flammable liquids.

• Don’t burn garbage. The deadly toxins produced may cause illness to you and your neighbours.

• Never leave campfires unattended. Closely supervise children while roasting marshmallows.

• Teach children how to STOP, DROP and ROLL should their clothing catch on fire. Teach children to cool a burn with running water for 3–5 minutes.

Making play-based learning visible at Algonquin College Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

How do you make play-based learning visible?

Dr. Diane Kashin of Ryerson University arrived in Perth to answer that question on April 23 as part of the Raising the Bar event at Algonquin College, Perth Campus.

There were about 168 people registered.

“This is made possible with the support of the Algonquin College, Perth Campus,” said Diane Bennett, Raising the Bar coordinator. “This professional development opportunity is for early childhood educators in Lanark County and students from the Early Childhood Educators program from the Perth campus.”

Pedagogical documentation was the focus of the talk.

“The process was developed in Northern Italy after (the Second World War),” said Kashin. “It can also be known as the Reggio Emilia approach.”

Reggio Emilia is a village in Italy.

Following the war, it changed the perspective, as people believed that children were to learn in a new way.

The Reggio Emilia is an approach to teaching and learning for children and is meant as a way of observing what children know, are curious about and what challenges them. Teachers

sis behind the paper, ‘How does learning happen?’ that was released by the province of Ontario in 2014.

“It’s a relatively new idea in North America,” said Kashin. “It’s really wonderful. It keeps children engaged and the opportunity to express themselves.”

Kashin gives much credit to the early childhood educators. “They are the most important teachers in the spectrum of teachers.”

Bennett noted that the event was a partnership with Algonquin College, Early Childhood Educators Program, Perth Campus, Lanark Early Learning & Child Care Association, Raising the Bar, Lanark, County of Lanark, and the Early Literacy Specialist of Lanark County as well. The Raising the Bar program works in conjunction with the Lanark Early Learning Child Care Association (LELCCA), which is supported by Lanark County.

“We recognize them for their work over the year,” said Bennett of the annual event. “They are striving to deliver high quality work and ensure that they continue with their professional development.”

Ford commits to extreme sports

and younger drivers can’t add years to their driving histories overnight, there are ways these drivers can lessen the impact their ages have on the cost of their auto insurance premiums.

Advanced defensive driving courses can refresh older drivers’ memories with regards to safe driving techniques while also teaching them the latest techniques to stay safe behind the wheel.

Younger drivers who take such courses can be taught how to drive in emergency situations in controlled environments.

Consumer Reports notes that a 2012 report jointly sponsored by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety and Manitoba Public Insurance found that there is no evidence that traditional driver’s education classes reduce crashes, highlighting the importance of advanced courses that can prepare older and younger drivers alike for what awaits them on the open road. Taking such classes can save drivers as much as 10 percent on their auto insurance premiums, and those discounts may even last several years.

The cost of auto insurance is contingent on a host of variables. Such factors include the type of vehicle being insured and the driving record of Make adjustments to your the policy holder. While drivers may feel they existing policy have little leeway regarding the cost of their auto insurance, there are several steps motorists Mileage is another factor insurance companies of all ages can take to lower their auto insurance use when pricing their automotive policies.

With the launch of the Focus RS, the Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT350R, as well as the imminent arrival of the F-150 Raptor and the exotic GT, 2016 will go down in history as the year of extreme sport vehicles at Ford.

The Focus RS is now the most extreme car in the compact hatchback category, with its turbocharged 2.3-L four-cylinder EcoBoost engine that produces 350 horsepower, 350 pound-feet of torque and between 2,000 and 4,500 revolutions per minute. To manage and distribute all that power to the wheels, the RS relies on an AWD that is inspired by the “dynamic torque vectoring” mechanism of a rally car, which distributes power to each wheel in order to maximize handling. Purists will be happy to learn that the transmission is a six-speed manual; no automatic transmission is planned for the time being.

Not wanting to take a back seat to the Focus RS, its smaller sibling, the Mustang Shelby GT350 now comes powered by an all-new 5.2-L naturally aspirated V-8 engine that produces 526 horsepower and 429 poundfeet of torque. Designed for racing, this engine can turn up to 8,250 revolutions per minute.

Through the use of materials such as carbon fibre and the removal of some equipment (air conditioning, rear seats and spare tire), the GT350R “lite” version has been able to shed an additional 58 kg.

For 2016, the Ford F-150 has been fitted with a new 2.7-L V-6 Ecoboost engine. Producing 325 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque, it’s more energy efficient than the 3.5-L V-6 EcoBoost, using about 15 per cent less fuel.

The spectacular F-150 Raptor will be powered by a more muscular version of the 3.5-L V-6 Ecoboost engine, whose power surpasses that of the previous 6.2-L V-8. The automatic transmission has ten gears.

Cadillac overhauls its crossovers

B r a n d S p ot l i g h t

Cadillac is unveiling several new models this year, including the XT5 crossover, which replaces the SRX. This new model is the cornerstone of a new range of crossovers that is part of the American luxury brand’s expansion.

CT6 is powered by a 2.0-L four-cylinder turbo, a 3.6-L V-6 or a 3.0-L twin-turbo.

In the high-performance category, Cadillac has resurrected its “V” models in order to compete with the Audi RS, BMW M and Mercedes AMG. The CTS-V and ATS-V models stand out, thanks to their vented “power dome” hoods, distinctive aerodynamic features and exclusive wheels.

The CTS-V is the most powerful Cadillac in history, with its supercharged 6.2-L V-8 engine that produces 640 horsepower. The automatic eight-speed transmission with paddle shifters is adjusted for extremely fast gear changes.

The new XT5 is 126 kg lighter than the SRX. Classed in the mid-size crossover category, the XT5 competes with both the Mercedes-Benz GLC and GLE and fits between the Audi Q5 and Q7. Rear leg­room has been increased by 8.1 cm, as compared with the SRX. Under the hood, the XT5 is powered by the same new 3.6-L V-6 engine with cylinder deactivation that made its appearance in the ATS and CTS models last year.

The ATS-V is powered by a twin-turbo 3.6-L V-6 engine The other major news story from Cadillac is its reappearance that produces 455 horsepower. This model also comes in the large luxury-sedan category. Measuring 22 cm with Brembo braking technology and Magnetic Ride longer than the CTS, the new CT6 competes with the Audi Control active suspension, which ensures maximum tire A8, the BMW 7 Series and the Mercedes-Benz Class S. The adherence to the road surface.

Find the best deal on your next car Fall selling season was long considered the best time to buy a new vehicle. Fall was when new inventory was moved in and dealerships were gearing up to liquidate last year’s models, making this a very buyer-friendly time of year.

But nowadays finding a deal on a car or truck is more fluid. Yearround marketing gives shoppers even more opportunity to save money or get the vehicle they want. So when is the best time to buy a car? That depends on a variety factors.

1

Financing Most people do not buy a car with cash and must apply for financing or a leasing program. Take inventory of your finances and check your current credit score to see if now is a practical time to buy a car. Use the various online payment calculators to determine a rough estimate of financing costs. This way you’ll be informed of the payment range that is affordable to you.

2

Rebates Call the auto manufacturer for up-to-date information on rebates and look through the newspaper to see if any deals are being advertised. After you have negotiated a deal with the dealer, then you can have the rebate deducted, rather than getting a check in the mail later on. This way you do not pay sales tax on the rebate.

3

Sales quotas Many salespeople have quotas to meet and will be more eager to cut a deal if they are quickly approaching that quota. Quotas may be at the end of the week, end of the month or end of the year. Therefore, sales personnel may be more motivated to give you a discount on Friday or Saturday, after the 25th of the month, or at the end of the year.

Buyer loyalty Explain to the dealership that you’re willing to use its service department and refer friends. A positive survey report or increased potential to buy from the same dealership in the future are other things to mention.

Patience If you are thinking about buying but not ready to bite the bullet, visit the dealership on a weekday when you are more likely to get a salesperson’s undivided attention.

On busy weekends you may be competing for attention or ignored if you’re not a serious buyer. Take a test drive and get all of the facts on the vehicle.

Vehicle owners know maintaining a vehicle can be a lot of work. Taking the time to properly care for a vehicle can prolong its life expectancy and help owners avoid breakdowns and other issues along the way.

Regular washing is an aspect of vehicle maintenance that some may classify as a purely cosmetic benefit. Certainly a car wash can keep the vehicle looking its best, but there are other advantages to washing as well. Washing offers preventative maintenance for the car’s paint and can help prevent rust and corrosion resulting from dirt, acid rain and road salt. Rust can compromise hydraulic brake and fuel lines, as well as many moving parts in the chassis and frame. Corrosion of electrical connectors and other parts under the hood can lead to leaks, electrical shorts and a host of additional problems. It’s easy to see how washing the car is more essential than one might have suspected.

If you live in an area with a high amount of dust or industry, you may need to wash your car as frequently as once a week. Garage-kept vehicles

may be able to go longer between washes, but in general washing a vehicle every two to three weeks is a good rule of thumb. In addition, a good sealant will protect the paint and other trims throughout the year.

Use a clean sponge and proper cleaning solution when washing your vehicle. Move the sponge lengthwise along the body panels.

Four Tips for a fun and frugal road trip 2

Get a tuneup Another way to save money on your road trip is to get a vehicle tuneup in the days before your trip is set to begin.

Such excursions are not restricted by flight schedules, and travelers often feel as though they have more control over their trips when traveling by car rather than traveling by air.

While prices at the pump have been more driver-friendly in recent months, road trippers who drive large sedans, trucks or SUVs might be able to save money by driving smaller vehicles during their trips. Especially small vehicles may be impractical and uncomfortable depending on the number of people who are making the trip, but mid-size vehicles with ample storage space tend to be more fuel-efficient than large trucks or SUVs. If someone in your traveling party drives such a vehicle and it’s in good shape, take that car instead of a larger alternative.

4

Bring your own food Fuel, lodging and food tend to be the three biggest expenses on driving vacations. Travelers who bring their own food can save a substantial amount of money and maintain some control over what they eat. That’s a big benefit for men and women who like to eat healthy and prefer to avoid the fast food fare that tends to be the only options available at rest stops.

Road trips make for great vacations, and travelers can take many steps to make such excursions more affordable without sacrificing fun.

Your complete Auto & truck repAir FAcilitY it’s Worth the Drive

Drivers who travel between the United States and Canada or plan on renting a car for an international business trip or vacation should understand that driving rules vary from country to country. One noticeable difference is the side of the road vehicles travel on, as well as the measurement system used for calculating speed and distance.

Although speedometers will often feature both mph (miles per hour) and kmh (kilometers per hour), it helps to have a rough idea of the conversion between the two speed measurements. Every mile per hour in speed translates to roughly 1.7 kilometers per hour.

Therefore, if the posted speed limit is 55 mph in the United States, expect to travel at 88.5 kph in Canada. Always heed speed limit postings and regularly check your vehicle’s speedometer to ensure you are driving at or below the legal limit. Traffic offenses that might be tolerated in one country may not be tolerated across the border, so always obey the local laws when behind the wheel.

Four reasons for a check engine light

B R A N D S P OT L I G H T

Chevrolet launches new models

Too much speed or load Towing a trailer or another heavy item may put strain on the vehicle and cause the light to come on because of loss of power.

Lightening the load and reducing speed can help fix the problem.

Always consult with the owner’s manual to determine the towing capacity of your vehicle.

Vehicles rely on many components working harmoniously to function at optimal capacity. Any number of systems can go wrong, and oftentimes the first indication that something has gone awry is an illuminated dashboard signal.

Lots of new models will be appearing in Chevrolet showrooms in 2016. New generations of the Volt, Camaro, Cruze, Spark and Malibu, as well as several other models, will be making their appearance in quick succession.

comes equipped with multiple technologies. This remake was also the perfect time to introduce a new hatchback model to back up the sedan. The standard engine is a 1.4-L 153-horsepower four-cylinder turbo.

While waiting for the launch of the Bolt EV with an all-electric motor, the Volt has been given a new propulsion system that lets you travel up to 85 km on electric power before the gasoline engine starts to recharge the batteries. These mechanical changes coincide with a sportier body design and a new interior layout, which can now accommodate five people instead of four.

Not to be outdone, the Malibu has a new look and more modern styling. Longer and lighter, it is powered by a new 1.5-L 160-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine. To add power to the lineup, a 2.0-L 250-horsepower turbo engine is also available. A hybrid version combining a 1.8-L gasoline engine and an electric motor is also in the lineup.

As for the Spark, Chevrolet’s city car now The Camaro has also undergone a facelift. boasts a more modern look, while the 1.4-L This has resulted in the shedding of 90 kg engine is slightly more powerful. for a body with a more athletic look. Under the hood, there is a new turbocharged 2.0-L 275-horsepower four-cylinder engine, a 3.6L 355-horsepower V-6 engine and the new, more powerful 6.2-L 455-horsepower V-8, which is a derivative of the Corvette Stingray engine.

To increase its market share, the Cruze has also been completely redesigned and now

One such signal is the “check engine” light. Many drivers have little idea what to do when this indicator lights up, and this light can cause some anxiety. According to Consumer Reports, a check engine light turning on does not usually require immediate action.

However, it does mean that you should make an appointment to have the vehicle inspected for potential problems.

Check engine lights are part of a car’s onboard diagnostics. The light turning on may indicate something minor, such as a loose fuel cap, or something more serious like a misfiring engine.

When the light turns on, drivers wondering why may want to see if the answer is related to one of the following issues.

2

Dirty oxygen sensor A faulty or clogged sensor may not provide the right information about unburned oxygen from the vehicle’s exhaust. This sensor monitors how much fuel is burned. Compromised data can cause a decrease in fuel efficiency.

Some do-it-yourselfers can replace an oxygen sensor on their own, but those who can’t should have the issue addressed immediately by a professional.

Short or faulty code Computers aren’t always fool-proof, and sometimes an electrical short or another similar problem can cause a light to come on. Bring the vehicle to an automotive supply store. Such stores typically have diagnostics tools that can be hooked into the car’s computer and provide a more detailed understanding of what is triggering the check engine indicator.

1

Loose gas cap Fuel vapors can leak out and air can get in when the fuel cap isn’t secured correctly. This can compromise the fuel system and make the check engine light come on. Take off the cap and then reseal it to see if that alleviates the problem. Cracked caps will need to be replaced.

In many cases, a steady check engine light is not a serious concern.

However, when such a light comes on, drivers should try to find out why as soon as possible.

How to sell a vehicle with an accident history Selling a vehicle may seem easy, but unloading preowned vehicles may take some time. While sellers may already have their eyes on the prize — a new vehicle — the first step is selling their current vehicle at a fair price, especially for those sellers who need to finance the purchase of their next vehicle with the proceeds they earn when selling their current one.

AUTO GLASS & UPHOLSTERY LTD.

Class A licensed Mechanics Specializing in all your automotive needs,

Sellers must consider a host of factors, including potential market for the vehicle and its potential sale price, before putting their vehicles up for sale. The accident history of a vehicle is another important factor to consider. Buyers are understandably weary about purchasing vehicles that have been in an accident.

Easily accessible vehicle history reports can make it even more challenging to sell a used car, but such reports don’t make it impossible to unload preowned vehicles.

Come on in for your Spring Check up and check over.

Be open and honest Hiding an accident is unethical and can haunt you down the road. It is better to be forthcoming about any accidents a vehicle might have been in. If you have documentation of the accident, such as photos and receipts for repairs, make it available to prospective buyers. If you have certification from an auto body shop or mechanic that the vehicle is in perfectly good condition and was repaired with quality, manufacturer-supplied parts, offer that information as well. The more information you provide and the more honest and forthcoming you are, the less it will seem like you’re trying to hide major damage.

Encourage a vehicle inspection Inform the buyer that you have no qualms about him or her taking the car to a mechanic and having it thoroughly inspected. This will show your confidence in the performance of the vehicle.

Consider a dealer trade-in Dealer trade-ins may not earn you as much money than you would get if you were to sell the car privately, but trade-ins tend to be simpler. Dealerships have almost zero emotional attachment to vehicles and likely won’t be as concerned as a private buyer about an accident on record. Some dealers farm out used cars to auctions or salvage yards. It may be worth it to take the lower price and not have the headache of unloading the car on your own.

While many cyclists focus on safety and strictly adhere to the rules of the road, some cyclists engage in behavior that may go against the flow of traffic or is downright dangerous. The League of American Bicyclists reminds riders that whether in a car or on a bike, the rules and rights remain the same. It’s necessary to obey traffic signals

and stop signs. Also, ride with traffic and use the right-most lane headed in the direction you are going. To prevent injuries, make your intentions clear to others by signalling when making a turn. Try to ride in a straight line and avoid swerving in between parked cars.

With these practices in mind, everyone can safely share the road and ride responsibly.

Safe driving techniques have changed Driving today is different than it might have been when many motorists first earned their drivers’ licenses. As a result, safe driving techniques have changed. Learning these changes and adjusting driving habits can keep motorists and their passengers safe.

1

Watch the clock Older guidelines indicated keeping hands on the steering wheel at the positions of 10 and 2 if you were imagining it as a clock. New information indicates this can be dangerous to the arms and hands should the air bag deploy in a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and AAA now say you should grip the wheel at the 9 and 3 positions, which safely allows drivers to maintain control of their vehicles.

2

Change your turns Air bag safety also comes into play when making turns. Rather than the formerly taught way of hand-over-hand turning, drivers should push with one hand and pull with the other to steer the wheel — safely keeping their hands away from the plastic casing and the possible release of heat and pressure from an exploding air bag.

3

Use hazard lights only when real hazards are encountered Some people are very generous in their use of hazard lights, turning them on when double-parking, in bad weather or when they are carrying a heavy load.

Various states and areas have specific laws governing the use of hazard lights, including when and when not to use them. Hazard lights may inadvertently put drivers in danger because they can override turning signals. Some other drivers have become so accustomed to seeing hazard lights that they may not take them seriously. Esurance suggests checking local laws to determine which situations warrant using hazard lights.

4

Don’t block the “fast lane” The far-left lane has long been considered the passing lane. Although some police departments have become more lenient in allowing drivers to actually stay in the left lane, it’s still courteous to use it as infrequently as possible. When you do find yourself in the left lane, recognize that you should

4 ways to make your vehicle more eco-friendly

maintain highway speed or accelerate slightly to get around the car you need to pass. Driving slowly in the left lane can compromise your own safety and that of your passengers and fellow drivers.

5

Anticipate road conditions There are differences between driving on rural roads, paved roads and heavily trafficked highways, especially during inclement weather or when encountering adverse conditions.

There’s no magic speed or technique that is ideal all of the time. Drivers need to learn to adapt to the conditions to facilitate safe passage. Keep in mind that it can be difficult to stop on gravel, wet roadways or those covered with leaves.

The far-left lane has long been considered the passing lane.

Driving slowly in the left lane can compromise your own safety and that of fellow drivers.

6

Avoid the big rush Always try to leave extra time to reach a destination. This way you will not have to speed or make tricky maneuvers to get to an appointment on time. Rushing around can lead to distractions or unsafe practices. Reduce your accident risk by building extra time into your trip.

Driving rules are not static, and drivers should stay current on practices that are safe and those that are no longer correct to use on the roadways.

Your LocaL Tire DeaLer

Many new vehicles are made with the environment in mind, as more and more drivers are embracing eco-friendly features that reduce the carbon footprints of their vehicles. But motorists need not purchase new cars to make their driving habits more environmentally friendly. The following are a handful of steps drivers can take to protect the environment regardless of how new or old their vehicles are.

1

Maintain your vehicle Even if your car or truck has no ecofriendly features designed to reduce fuel consumption and cut down on emissions, that does not mean the vehicle cannot be more fuel-efficient or produce fewer emissions. Adhering to the maintenance schedule recommended in your vehicle owner’s manual can conserve fuel and cut back on potentially harmful emissions. Well-maintained vehicles burn less fuel, as they don’t force engines and other components to work as hard during operation as vehicles that have not been taken care of.

Replace worn down or dirty spark plugs, which misfire and waste fuel, and fuel and air filters once they are no longer operating at peak capacity. Address any issues that arise with your vehicle’s emissions systems immediately, visiting your mechanic if the vehicle seems to be sputtering or emitting any abnormal fumes.

Slow down Driving above the speed limit is not just dangerous but potentially harmful to the environment as well.

According the United States Department of Energy, each five miles per hour drivers drive over 50 miles per hour is akin to adding an additional $0.14 per gallon for gas. That’s because driving above 50 miles per hour is far less fuel-efficient than driving below that figure. So slowing down when posted speed limits mandate driving 50 miles per hour or slower is not just safer and more eco-friendly, it’s better for your wallet as well.

3

Keep cargo off the roof When you must haul cargo, keep that cargo in rear-mount cargo boxes or the backseat or trunk of your car rather than the roof. Rooftop cargo boxes make vehicles less aerodynamic, reducing highway fuel economy by as much as 17 percent according to the U.S. DOE. By comparison, rear-mount cargo boxes reduce highway fuel economy by just 2 to 5 percent. If you haul cargo in your trunk, remove items when your trip is complete, as excess, unnecessary weight in the car will reduce its fuel efficiency.

4

Inspect the gas cap Few drivers may think to examine their gas caps while filling up at the pump, but such an inspection may reveal cracks or other damage that are wasting fuel. When gas caps are cracked, loose or damaged, fuel can escape gas tanks as a vapor, wasting fuel and contributing to emissions. If the cap is in need of replacement, consult your mechanic, the dealer who sold you your vehicle or the vehicle manufacturer.
