For Fenik, orange is the new red
Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Perth Mayor John Fenik has dropped a political shocker, leaving the campaign of federal Liberal candidate Philippe Archambault as campaign manager, to run as the presumptive New Democratic Party candidate. Putting the ‘new’ in New Democrat, the life-long Liberal, who had endorsed Archambault for the Grit nomination in the new Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding, after toying with a nomination run himself last year, will likely be acclaimed as the NDP’s candidate at the Crystal Palace in Perth on May 30, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. After being felt out about running for their party by local New Democrats, the party’s eastern Ontario lieutenant, Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar, launched a charm offensive to get Fenik on board. Fenik said he will step back from his duties as mayor during the writ period. See pages 2 & 5 for the full story.

Dye. Water. Perspiration. Heart. At its core, that’s what last week’s inaugural “Do It For Daron” walk/run at Perth and District Collegiate Institute came down to, on May 7. Grade 11 student Adrianna Moore, along with the help of her friends, facilitated the event, after doing a project on suicide victim
Daron Richardson. “We’re glad that so many people supported it,” Moore said during an interview as she walked behind the runners and walkers along Drummond Street in front of the hospital. She was covered in dye from her head to her toes, a result of “dying” fellow runners, before her friends turned on her, and each other to douse themselves in coloured dye.
It was an idea she got from a “Run or Dye” event she attended last summer in Kingston. “We wanted to bring it here,” she said. The PDCI event was also held as part of Mental Health Week, which ran from May 4 to 10, and was held in memory of Ottawa student Daron Richardson, 14, who died from suicide Nov. 13, 2010. Out of her death, her parents, Luke
and Stephanie Richardson, started a foundation to raise awareness about youth mental health. The movement’s symbol became a purple heart, partially because purple was her favourite colour. The event raised more than $2,300. “I’m just happy that it worked out,” said Moore. “I think that the dye brought in more people. It was a fun way to spice up a run.”

One was Trudeau’s decision to tell MPs and prospective candidates that, if they were pro-life, that he would not sign their nomination papers. “I am pro-choice,” said See FENIK page 5

Perth Mayor John Fenik sent shockwaves through the political world this week when the lifelong Liberal announced that he was going to be seeking the federal nomination for the New Democratic Party. “I spent a lot of time thinking about this venture,” said Fenik, during a telephone interview this past Tuesday morning. “I talked to some key people in my life about it. I knew it was going to surprise a lot of people and be a bit of a shocker. (But) I needed to go where my heart takes me.” He made his decision midApril, when he put his name in to be vetted as a possible NDP candidate – following courting local New Democrats, and several phone calls from Ottawa Centre NDP MP Paul Dewar. Dewar, who is the official opposition’s foreign affairs critic, is also party leader Tom Mulcair’s point man for eastern Ontario, and, according to Fenik, was in contact with Mulcair’s office about potentially landing this star candidate. “After speaking with him (Dewar), I felt comfortable,” said Fenik. The nomination meeting will be held at the Crystal Palace in Perth on Saturday, May 30, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., with Dewar slated to be the guest speaker for what appears to be Fenik’s acclamation as candidate. “There will be no other candidates,” said Fenik, who will face off against incumbent Conservative MP Scott Reid, Liberal candidate Phillipe Archambault, and Green Party candidate Anita Payne for the Oct. 19 vote in the new Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding. Fenik had toyed with the idea of running for the Liberal nomination in late 2013, even attending the party convention in Montreal. But he decided to run for another term as Perth mayor instead, and Archambault won the nomination with Fenik’s endorsement. However, there were disagreements within the Liberal ranks, with Fenik acting as Archambault’s campaign manager. There had been rumours swirling that Fenik had been fired from this post, but he countered that “I don’t know if fired is the right word.
We had a disagreement with how the campaign should be run. He felt it should go in the other way. Archambault lost some major players on his campaign then when I left.” But Fenik hastened to add that his decision to seek the NDP nomination was not made out of spite. “It wasn’t, ‘Oh, I want to get Phillipe Archambault, to get him back,’” said Fenik, adding that he did not want to sit out the 2015 vote “on the sidelines.” He later said that Archambault, now his opponent in the race, has “his heart in the right place,” and even called Reid “a good, decent man.” Even though the NDP came in second in the riding in 2011, some of this was attributed to ripples from the Orange Crush caused by the late NDP leader Jack Layton, and Fenik is realistic about the NDP’s chances in the area. “There’s a big nut to crack here, a big mountain to climb,” he said. “We have no money.” Even though they might not be able to afford it anyway, Fenik promised that there would be no “robocalls,” from his campaign, that he would instead run a lean, visible campaign. “I think that people are ready for a change,” he said. His decision may mean that, already, change will be coming to Perth town council – albeit temporarily. When he was toying with the idea of a federal run for the Liberals in 2014, he said he would serve out the end of his term as mayor but would not run for re-election in last October’s municipal elections, were he to win the nomination. However, the political landscape has changed since he was returned to office by acclamation, and with his pending retirement from the Upper Canada District School Board in June. He said he would “focus all my energies on the election campaign,” during the “writ period,” from September to October. “I will not utilize resources in the mayor’s office,” said Fenik, saying that he will “step away from that (mayor’s) job,” temporarily, to be relieved of his duties, with Deputy Mayor John Gemmell acting in his stead. While he said he was not a fan of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, criticizing “the direction he has taken the

Jury rules 2012 quarry death of Smiths Falls man accidental Ashley Kulp
akulp@perfprint.ca
After a day of testimony, a coroner’s inquest has revealed the Oct. 29, 2012 death of Smiths Falls area native Joe Drummond at an Elizabethtown-Kitley quarry to be an accident. A five-person jury was assembled to make a ruling in the public inquest, held May 8 at the Brockville courthouse. Father of two, Drummond, 30, a supervisor with G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction Co. Ltd., was attempting to fold a piece of equipment known as a stacker at Woods Quarry (5436 Woods Road off County Road 29), when it collapsed on his chest. The stacker, a conveyorlike piece of machinery, is used in rock crushing. While ruling Drummond’s death accidental, the jury did make a single recommendation for the construction company: to always follow Ministry of Labour legislation to ensure the safety of its workers. Tackaberry, which operates more than 30 pits and quarries
throughout the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville region, was fined $110,000 by the ministry back in 2013 for not ensuring the stacker was properly blocked. Drummond’s parents, Ken and Judy Drummond, were in attendance at the May 8 inquest, as was his widow, Ceili. “We found out what we needed to know and hopefully (today’s inquest) will keep it from happening again someplace,” Ken said. Seven witnesses in total provided testimony during the proceedings, which were presided over by coroner, Dr. Gordon Watt. Crown attorney Claudette Breault served as the coroner’s counsel, while Alan Whyte represented Tackaberry. All parties encouraged the jury to declare the incident an accident, with Watt indicating “there’s no reason not to find that this was an accident.” “There’s evidence here that unfortunately, a mistake was made in not protecting the situation that occurred...but you have heard that there is legislation that can be used, so if you can’t come up with a situation to change legislation,
then you look at the workplace,” he continued. “And as far as the company’s concerned, it looks like it has solved the problem since this so it won’t happen again.” Tackaberry employees Dave McManus and Phillip Vanderlinden were at the quarry site with Drummond on the day of the incident. Just before 5 p.m. that afternoon, McManus, who has been a season worker with Tackaberry for 20 years, had originally been tasked with folding the mobile stacker, to be transported to another job site, when it wouldn’t close completely. “I walked over to get Joe and he said I’d have to take the pins out (of the stacker) because it wouldn’t fold down,”
McManus recounted. “...He said ‘Go get the loader, I’ll do it.’” McManus drove the front-end loader over to where the stacker was positioned near the centre of the quarry and raised Drummond up in the bucket to the level of the stacker, approximately 15 feet, where he began to attempt to manually lower the equipment. Unable to see him due to the obstruction of the bucket, McManus “assumed Joe was knocking out the pins and saw oil running down the stacker” and heard the hiss of air as the hydraulics failed on the stacker. Seeing his co-worker trapped, McManus immediately called 911 and ran over to Vanderlinden to help. Asked by counsel to the coroner, Claudette
Breault, if there was anything McManus could have done, he said, “No, I couldn’t lift it. It was quite a bit of weight.” As they waited for emergency personnel to arrive, McManus and Vanderlinden climbed on to the loader’s bucket to talk with their friend “for any comfort we could give Joe.” He was pronounced dead at the scene. In his testimony to the jury, forensic pathologist Dr. Christopher Milroy determined Drummond died of crush asphyxia. His examination of the victim showed he was in good health, but his head and neck regions were congested with blood, consistent with his cause of See INQUEST page 5

legislature, the first Quebec premier to do so in about 50 years – but it was not done in a “diplomatic fashion”, as Hillier put it, calling it instead “a pretext for partisan politics.” While the Progressive Conservatives were part of the unanimous consent needed for Couillard to speak, he felt it was done “to distract from our leadership race.” Brown was afforded an opportunity to reply to Couillard’s speech, and “he turned the tables decisively.” Hillier said he was a long-time critic of former leader Tim Hudak, and predecessors like John Tory, who, “for too long…(had been using) a top-down approach,” when “substantial policy got announced without the knowledge of caucus or members…He (Brown) understands fully what needs to happen.” MacLaren’s gambit pays off Sometimes politics is about being in the right place at the right time – and MacLaren was one of only five MPPs to endorse Brown’s run for the leadership, back in January, when it was a much more crowded field. “I considered Patrick very carefully before I supported him,” said MacLaren, during a telephone interview on See BROWN page 7

New Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown has won both Lanark County ridings in convincing style. The Barrie MP, who beat WhitbyOshawa MPP Christine Elliott in her second try for the party leadership, won Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington by 55.587 per cent to Elliott’s 44.413 per cent. Meanwhile, Brown’s win was even wider in Carleton-Mississippi Mills, where he took 68.421 per cent of the vote to Elliott’s 31.579 per cent, according to numbers released by the party at the Toronto Congress Centre this past Saturday, May 9. While Elliott had overwhelming caucus support at Queen’s Park, CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren endorsed Brown back in January. Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier did not endorse any candidate in the race. Hillier reported that turnout in his riding was consistent with turnout across eastern Ontario, at more than 60 per cent. He boasted that his riding had more polling stations than any other riding, at six, including three in Lanark County (Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Perth), alone, and that the
what their members were telling them,” said Hillier, during a telephone interview from his Queen’s Park office in Toronto on Monday afternoon. “It is important that you stay in touch.” Asked if there were some sheepish faces in the Tory caucus room that Monday, Hillier would only say “I would think that would be the case.” In speaking with Brown over the weekend, he indicated to Hillier that there would be no major shakeups in the Tory ranks between now and the start of the summer recess on June 4, including shaking up the shadow cabinet. He did indicate, however, that he would resign his federal seat by Wednesday, May 13, but no decision had been made if a Tory MPP would step aside for Brown to run in their place, as happened to Ernie Eves in 2002 and John Tory in 2005. Hillier commended Brown’s inaugural speech as leader last Saturday, for its “message of change and reform that resounded across the province.” Hillier said he remained neutral because “I thought it was important for the membership of the party to listen and speak,” which they did in “resounding fashion.” That morning, Quebec Premier Phillipe Couillard addressed the Ontario
death as blood couldn’t circulate due to his injuries. “This is a common appearance in people who have been crushed,” he explained. Three large indentations across Drummond’s chest, broken ribs, bruising on his arms and thighs, were also observed. Toxicology reports found that drugs and alcohol did not contribute to his death. McManus said Tackaberry has instituted additional safety
measures since the incident, including altering the stacker so it no longer requires workers to manually lower it before folding, as well as using a ‘spotter’ on site when working around machinery and equipping workers with harnesses. According to Ministry of Labour engineer Steven MacDonald, the oil McManus saw running down the stacker was hydraulic oil. The day after the incident, MacDonald was at the scene to inspect the machinery and noted the air hissing heard
by McManus is easily explained as well. “What I believe happened is that a 90-degree fitting on top of the hydraulic cylinder (of the stacker) was broken. The deceased may have stepped on the fitting with his foot or slipped, striking the fitting, causing the conveyer to close,” he explained, noting that these fittings are not designed to withstand the weight of a human. MacDonald did say if proper blocking procedures had been observed, as is legislated by the min-

Fenik, but he took exception to Trudeau insisting that people leave their “spirituality at the door,” if they wanted to run for his party. He also chastised Trudeau for “the whole Eve Adams thing,” when the controversial Conservative MP, who was barred from running for the ruling party for inappropriate antics while seeking a party nomination, was welcomed with open arms by the Liberals. He also lambasted Trudeau for supporting Bill C-51, the government’s antiterrorism legislation. “He didn’t stand up on C-51,” said Fenik, though he hastened to add that “there is a place for terrorists in the very depths of hell.” “I was waiting for Mr. Trudeau to get into the driver’s seat and lead, and he didn’t,” said Fenik. However, he stressed the Liberal party still contained “energetic, fantastic people. I have life-long friends (in the party.)” The NDP has long had ties to organized labour, and recently, the town’s unionized workers, who are represented by OPSEU (Ontario Public Sector Employees Union), narrowly agreed Desmond Devoy/METROLAND to a new, three-year contract. Calm before the storm: Perth Mayor John Fenik has a quiet OPSEU called the town’s final moment during a town council committee-of-the-whole offer “disappointing.” When asked if this would meeting on May 5.

BROWN From page 4
Tuesday, May 12. “I am very happy. I think Patrick Brown was the best candidate and that is why I backed him. He has the vision and the Canadian values to lead us into the election of 2018.” He said that Brown’s success could be attributed to the fact that “he works very, very hard…in straightforward language,” said MacLaren. He pointed out that Brown visited northern Ontario nine times during his leadership race. “We got tremendous support in an area where we have no support at all,” said MacLaren, who served as Brown’s campaign co-chair.
Another outreach campaign that paid off for Brown, which MacLaren witnessed for himself, was following in the footsteps of now Defence Minister Jason Kenney, and made inroads with ethnic communities like the Chinese, Indian and Tamil peoples. “(He) just showed up and talked to them,” he said. “Spending the time, listening to the people there, understanding what their needs and wants were.” MacLaren is well-known member and supporter of the Ontario Landowners Association. Having won the endorsement of “The Great One,” Wayne Gretzky, and as a major hockey fan himself, an NHL friend of Brown gave him the use of his private
jet to visit various landowner groups around the province – with MacLaren in tow. Over two days in February, they hit southwestern and central Ontario. “What an experience that was,” said MacLaren. It was on that trip that he got to witness Brown’s hard-working nature. It would be 9 p.m., and “I’d be tired out and he would go on to the next meeting,” he said. MacLaren is known for his libertarian views, and just minutes after Brown’s victory was announced, the Liberals were already handing out press releases attacking what they saw as his social conservative values on issues like sex education and abortion. Some in the media have already
linked MacLaren’s skepticism on climate change to Brown, and MacLaren does admit that “I find him to be a like-minded person.” But while social conservatives – thanks in part to the endorsement of former leadership candidate Monte McNaughton – may have partially propelled Brown to the leader’s office, Brown has told MacLaren that, on issues like abortion, “those issues have been settled on,” and that he is more interested in dealing with issues like Ontario’s debt and deficit. High energy prices are also “driving away jobs from Ontario,” said MacLaren, and the Liberals’ proposed cap-andtrade carbon emissions system is “another tax on the consumer, who is
just tapped right out. Taxes don’t help people, they hurt people.” MacLaren took a different tack to Hillier on Couillard’s speech, the first by a Quebec premier to the Ontario legislature since Jean Lesage in the 1960s. When Couillard mentioned that his party was balancing Quebec’s books, he admitted that “I didn’t know that,” and that this was coming from a Liberal government. Brown is scheduled to make a visit to the area on Saturday, June 20, when he is due to attend MacLaren’s barn dance at his home, 375 MacLaren Side Rd. at Woodlawn in West Carleton. The dance is a fundraiser for a planned “Abilities Centre” for people with disabilities in Ottawa.

went over to bend towards the inside of it. The young cousins had arrived from Montreal earlier for their usual summer stay and time on our hands was starting to take its toll on the mischievous lad who could never seem to keep out of trouble. He slid to the end of the drive shed like a fox going into the hen house and saw that Father had gone on to other chores. I knew without asking that he was planning something. He had that look about him that he always got when his mind was churning. He asked his much younger brother Terry to come and stand beside the barrel. Terry did exactly as he was told. His golden curls came just to the rim. “Perfect,” Ronny beamed. “Give me a hand, Mary,” he ordered.

“I will do nothing of the sort, Ronny Lapointe,” I said. “What ever you have in mind, forget it this instant. Father just bought that barrel and he’ll kill us if anything happens to it.”
Ronny said I was scared of my own shadow and besides what he was planning wasn’t going to hurt the barrel one bit. He started to roll the barrel away from the drive shed. He
had a dickens of a time trying to keep it rolling straight. Terry of course usually ignored by his older brother was right there See MARY page 9

Is Perth a national security threat, asks reader DEAR EDITOR: Like Murray Long stated in last week’s letter to the editor, I too received what was, in my opinion, obnoxious Scott Reid “terrorism scare” mailing at my home, and was disappointed to see that taxpayer money is being used to frighten us into supporting the repressive legislation (C-51) that passed last week with Liberal and Conservative support. It reminded me of similar circulars received by

putting his little hands on the barrel as if Ronny couldn’t roll it without him. He was heading for the gully that led to the creek. I had no idea what he had in mind, but I knew perfectly well, with his mind, it was some dastardly trick that we would pay dearly for later. You would have thought I had learned my lesson from previous antics and simply walked away. Hadn’t experience taught me that every time Ronny got into trouble I got into trouble too? The barrel was gathering speed, as it wobbled from side to side down into the gully, with Ronny in hot pursuit. I was sure he was going to try to float it on the Bonnechere. But he headed right for the West Hill with little Terry trying to keep up to him. It was a hard push, and by the time we reached the top of the hill, the perspiration was pouring off Ronny’s face. He was chewing us out for not helping him push the barrel. I still had no idea what he was up to. But I didn’t have to wait long. He got down on one knee and looked over the top of the barrel down the hill. He told Terry, who was too young to know any better, to crawl in the barrel that he had a real treat in store for him. Terry who thought

An additional threat is the unfettered surveillance powers that continue to be handed to CSIS, the RCMP and other government agencies. This is not new, of course. In the process of researching C-51, I discovered that Perth and Sharbot Lake were on the federal government’s national security radar in 2007. As was revealed last fall in documents released by Public Safety Canada, the Government Operations Centre, allegedly created to monitor events of national concern related to the safety and security of Canadians, collected details on more than 800 demonstrations beginning in January 2006. This lengthy list of peaceful protests – the very kind we were assured during C-51 hearings are not supposed to be spied upon – indicates which government department is making a report to the central
a treat meant candy or ice cream, did exactly what he was told. And then the picture of what Ronny had in mind unfolded right before my eyes. He was going to send Terry careening down the West Hill in Father’s brand new 50-cent barrel! Terry crawled in head first, and Ronny told him to put his knees under his chin. He was tiny enough to do it. And then Ronny gave the barrel a mighty shove and it went careening down the hill. There wasn’t a murmur from the barrel and I was sure wee Terry had died of fright. But the worst was yet to come. The barrel was not going in a straight line, but it was traveling like a speeding bullet. I yelled that if it hit the Bonnecherre Terry would drown. But it was heading right for the big maple tree and there was nothing to save it from the crash that followed. It split into a million pieces and Terry lay there as if he was dead. We tore down the hill and Ronny said the barrel did exactly what he thought it would do, but that he was a little off on his figuring. He said he figured it should have missed the tree. Terry crawled off the mess of splintered barrel staves and it looked like he didn’t have a scratch on him. It was a long time since I saw Father so mad, he was

Readers will recall that peaceful protests were occurring in 2007 against uranium mining on Algonquin territory, and while they were informative, good-natured, and ultimately effective, two of them (July 8 in Perth and July 13 in Sharbot Lake) were deemed dangerous enough to make it onto the government’s big list of national security concerns. Perhaps Scott Reid would do better to find out why the Government of Canada was spying on peaceful Perth residents, which seems to me a far greater threat to our security than his bogeyman of terrorists under every bed.

Junior A hockey team brings great pride to Carleton Place community Reflections By Jeff maguire
mark going 12-3 in the playoffs and defeating Pembroke Lumber Kings, the most successful franchise in league history, in five games in the CCHL championship final. Quite an accomplishment considering there were 13 player changes this season. But head coach, general manager and owner Jason Clarke has proven time and again that he is an excellent recruiter. Aided by his scouts and assistant coaches Clarke filled the available slots with some outstanding replacements. The result is another league championship, an unprecedented second consecutive Eastern Canadian title and a second straight berth in the national finals. They had to work even harder at the Fred Page Cup this season. Last year, when the event was played in St. Jerome, Quebec (a Montreal suburb) Carleton Place was a perfect 4-0. The 2015 tournament was hosted by league rival Cornwall Colts, the same team Canadians defeated in six games in this year’s CCHL semi-finals. Canadians went 3-1 this time. Their only loss was a onegoal decision to the host Colts in the final round-robin game, a contest that meant nothing to either side. Canadians had already earned a bye to the final while Colts had fallen out of contention. Clarke sat five of his best players in anticipation of the championship game on Sunday, May 3. Coach thrilled It was a good strategy. Carleton Place needed all the strength and endurance they could muster to edge Dieppe (New Brunswick) Commandos, the Maritime champions, 3-2 in a thrilling Fred Page
final. Clarke is understandably elated. “I kinda have to pinch myself sometimes to believe all of this has happened the last two years,” he told me last week. “I feel so blessed to be able to raise my family as well as own and coach a Junior A team in my hometown. It’s a dream come true,” the veteran hockey man says. “Being surrounded by so many good people in this organization is what makes this (championships) so special. It really is a team effort.” There are 129 Junior A teams in 10 leagues, from coast-to-coast, that fall under the jurisdiction of the Calgarybased Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL). For two straight seasons Canadians have earned the right to play in the final group of five teams that competes annually for the RBC trophy. It’s a tall order but Carleton Place is hoping to finish the job they came so close to completing last May in Vernon, British Columbia. Canadians made it all the way to the national title game against Yorkton (Saskatchewan) Terriers. They were leading 3-1 with less than three minutes remaining in regulation time. But Yorkton struck for two goals in just eight seconds to force overtime. I was watching the game on TSN. Yorkton’s tying goal came so quickly after their second that I thought it was a replay. Unfortunately it was live. And in the extra session it was Yorkton who came up with the winning goal to break Carleton Place hearts. Still, an outstanding achievement by any standard and for a small town having the main sports team earn a place on the national stage is extremely significant. At the Junior A level players compete for university and college scholarships at major institutions south of the border. Many of Canadians’ star players have already earned scholarships and some are headed to major universities this fall to combine education and hockey. The same is true of many teams in the CCHL. Eventually a number of the best
will play professional hockey. The list of graduates from this league who have gone on to successful careers in the National Hockey League is lengthy. In fact the two divisions, Robinson and Yzerman, are named in honour of CCHL graduates Larry Robinson and Steve Yzerman who went on to Hall of Fame careers with the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings, respectively. Players from across the continent vie
to play in the CCHL. It is a well-run league with many longstanding franchises. The hockey is fast, competitive and exciting. The last CCHL entry to win the RBC was Pembroke in 2011. What is especially nice about this league is that hometown players also have a chance to excel and compete at a high level. A good example is Carleton See TEAM page 23

When you read this the round-robin portion of the Royal Bank Cup (RBC) Canadian Junior A hockey championship tournament will be wrapping up in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, west of Winnipeg. The semi-finals will be played Saturday with the winners advancing to the national championship game on Sunday, May 17 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. The final will be broadcast live on TSN. One of the competing teams is from our region. Carleton Place Canadians of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) have enjoyed another marvelous season. In just their sixth campaign in the more than 50-year-old loop Carleton Place captured their second consecutive Bogart-Nielsen Cup (league championship trophy). They then went on to claim the Fred Page Cup Eastern Canadian Junior A championship becoming the first team in the 21-year history of the tournament to win backto-back titles. Canadians definitely got off on the right foot at the nationals. In their RBC tournament opener Saturday they blanked Soo Thunderbirds, the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and Dudley Hewitt Cup champions, by a 4-0 score. They followed that up Sunday with a 3-0 shutout win over hosts and pre-tournament favourite Portage Terriers. Carleton Place goalie Guillaume Therien became the first net minder in 20 years to start the RBC tournament with back-to-back shutouts. Although Canadians did not equal last year’s truly incredible regular season, during which they set new CCHL benchmarks with a 54-6-1-1 record and 110 points, the club still did it in style in 2014-2015. Carleton Place again topped the magical 100-point mark with a sparkling 49-10-2-1 record and 101 points. They were the best team in the 12team loop both seasons and their success continued in the playoffs. Last season they went 12-4 in the post-season, defeating near neighbours and arch-rival Smiths Falls Bears in five games in the final. This season they improved on that

TEAM
Rare performer to grace Gallipeau Centre Theatre
Place player Stephen Baylis. He finished second in team scoring this year with 69 points, despite missing eight games due to injury. Baylis, a five-year player for Canadians, was 10th in league scoring while second year forward Andy Sturtz, a native of Buffalo, New York led Canadians with 72 points to finish in a tie for fifth place.
It’s something of a Catch 22, nobody knows who Jordan John is, so there’s a bit of hesitancy about taking in this fabulous trip through the best of ‘60s rhythm and blues. This guy isn’t just good – he’s one of those rare Canadian talents that not only deliver but do so with style and panache. So don’t miss Jordan John on Saturday, May 16 at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre. “Go ahead take the risk and come and see this incredible performer, he’s worth every penny of the $20 tickets – and as a bonus you’ll also be helping out one of the best organizations in town – the Susan Shirley Program – how can you lose?” says Howaida Sorour-Roberts, theatre manager. His father, Prakash John, played bass for James Brown, George Clinton, Paul Shaffer, Alice Cooper and the Blues Brothers and appeared in the Blues Brothers 2000 movie, and he’s playing in Jordan’s band this coming Saturday. “We’re very enthused about coming to Smiths Falls, we love to go places where people want to listen to excellent live music,” says Prakash. By the age of 16 as a young drummer, Jordan was jamming with Prince,

their pregnancy and in those first critical few months after the baby is born. This incredible, grass roots charity provides essential housing and life skills training to young pregnant and early parenting women. The program empowers young women to create strong and healthy families and the Gallipeau Centre Theatre is delighted to support them with this exciting concert. “What better way to spend a Saturday evening than taking in a fantastic live band and lending a hand to the Susan Shirley Program, as you enjoy the show,” says Sorour-Roberts.

Best in Canada Last season Sturtz led the CCHL in scoring and was a very deserving league most valuable player (MVP). The popular Sturtz (local kids idolize him) followed that up in style in Vernon last spring. He was named the top Junior A player in the country, a quite amazing feat. He is the only CCHL player to ever win the CJHL Player of the Year award in its 27-year history. Sturtz is bound for famous Penn State University on a scholarship in the fall. This season it was Baylis who was named the MVP in the CCHL at the end of the regular campaign. He followed that up with 22 playoff points, tying Sturtz for third in the CCHL in the post season scoring derby. Baylis also earned MVP honours at the Fred Page Cup. Pretty heady stuff for a young man from Carleton Place, Ontario. He too has earned an American university scholarship, at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Baylis has also been invited to participate in the Tampa Bay Lightning (NHL) Prospects’ Camp this summer. The Carleton Place Canadians have done their league and their community proud again this season. I’m sure they will be worthy representatives of Eastern Canada at the RBC. Before flying west for the nationals CCHL Commissioner Kevin Abrams told me he thinks this is the strongest field at RBC in a decade. All five entries finished high in the final national Top 20 ranking of this season released by the CJHL at the beginning of March. Host Portage was first, Canadians were fifth while the other three competing teams Penticton Vees from British Columbia, Melfort (Saskatchewan) Mustangs and Soo Thunderbirds from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario were ranked sixth, seventh and 13th respectively. A strong field indeed. As for Carleton Place Canadians the CCHL commissioner was high in his praise. “Needless to say a team repeating the path to the RBC Cup is rare. The fact Canadians have done that is a credit to the entire organization. As a league it is something to be extremely proud of,” Abrams said. Losing in OT in last season’s national championship game certainly didn’t diminish the crowd at the welcome home parade and meet and greet which followed the club’s return from British Columbia last spring. No matter what happens in Manitoba this time I expect the same reaction from local residents and officials next week. The Carleton Place Canadians have earned all of the accolades they receive!

and not long after was performing as the interim bassist with Wide Mouth Mason. He’s the real thing – an incredible talent who’s polish and poise on stage would be a credit to any musician twice his age. Think Sly Stone, James Brown, Little Richard and you have a pretty good idea of what this young man with the astonishing voice, talent and looks will be bringing to the Gallipeau Centre stage this weekend. Adept on drums, keyboards, guitar and bass, Jordan distills the blues, soul and rhythm and blues into a sound that is both solidly traditional and infused with a fresh, new energy. In 2012 Jordan opened for Aretha Franklin at the Toronto Jazz Festival a rare privilege, as the Queen of Soul rarely allows anyone to open for her. “Unfortunately I didn’t get to meet her, but she dedicated a song to me during the concert, referring to me as ‘that tall drink of temptation’,” chuckles Jordan.

The annual plant sale is this Saturday, May 16 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. (or until sold out) at the Delta Agricultural Grounds. society will offer coffee, tea and tidbits for a small donation. Tickets for the society’s garden tour and strawberry social on June 20 will also be on sale. Five private gardens in the Portland area will be open for viewing from 1 to 4 p.m., with the strawberry social held at Emmanuel Anglican Church in Portland at the top of the hill. Tickets are $5.
Another new feature of the plant sale this year is haskaps, an edible shrub the Ontario Horticultural Association is promoting. This delicious member of the Honeysuckle family produces blue-skinned fruit, with dark crimson flesh, that taste like a zingy blend of raspberry and blueberry, with a touch of elderberry. They are high in vitamin C and several antioxidants, and have been used to reduce blood pressure and relieve gastrointestinal disorders. They also contain traces of selenium, the element said in Japanese folklore to restore youth. 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 horticulture-related studies, speaker series, and public garden features throughout Rideau Lakes.

Tinkerbel and Soda Hi there, we’re a three-yearold brother and sister, very good looking, long hair white Persian mixes. Tinkerbel has one blue and one green eye, Soda has green eyes. From the moment we were in our mom’s womb we’ve been together. We lived with a nice lady but unfortunately because of her age, she found it difficult to provide us with the care we need (regular brushing). Currently we are being spoiled by the wonderful staff at Pet Valu in Perth. We would love to be invited into a loving home again. Can we stay together please? We love each other very much. Gumbo Please meet Gumbo at the Natural Pet Store in Carleton Place. He’s enjoying a large kennel to himself right in the front of the store. Gumbo is all white with a charcoal tail and charcoal ears. He’s quite the character, loves to explore, loves his cuddles and naptime in the sun if can catch the sunrays at his current location. Wish list

The Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society is holding its annual plant sale this Saturday, May 16 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. (or until sold out), at the Delta Agricultural Grounds. Those of you who are new to this sale should be forewarned that, similar to what happens at church and service group dinners in the area, people line up a half-hour or more before the doors open. However, unlike the dinners, once the doors open, there is no decorous filing in to fill a plate and find a place at a table. Instead, the hall becomes a mad-house of all manner of buggies, wagons and boxes being pushed and pulled and slung about as shoppers vie for the best perennials, annuals, shrubs, and garden ornaments, moving chaotically from table to table in every direction imaginable. The society has a quick checkout method, refined over years of holding the sale, that makes egress from the hall fast and simple. About an hour after the doors have opened, the sale is pretty much a done

Scottish nationalists sweep Perth in British election
No need to say ‘neigh’ to this ‘sick’ promprosal Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Did she ‘Juan’ to go to prom with him? Did she say yea or ‘neigh’? Taylor Kafley’s “promprosal” to his girlfriend, Hannah Gallant, was certainly epic in terms of organization and heart. The Grade 12 student arranged to rent two horses from Little Rock Farm, and had them delivered to a parking lot at Conlon Farm at the edge of St. John Catholic High School’s property late in the morning of Thursday, May 7, to ask her to the prom. Decked out in a fake moustache, sombrero, and poncho, he certainly rocked a late Cinco de Mayo look (the May 5th anniversary of a major military victory by Mexico over the French), waiting for his beloved in the spring sunshine. “I feel so happy right now,” he said, as his friend Hayley Carmon-Code helped lead the two horses – Cherokee and Shania – for a few paces around the parking lot as students on their lunch break started showing up for the proposal, certain to go down as an “epic” event in school lore. “This is the happiest I’ve been in a while… This is going to be sick,” he said. (For the uninitiated, the Urban Dictionary defines sick as “crazy, cool, insane,” or “a secondary word for awesome.”)
His lady love was unaware of what was going on as her friends had helped him out by taking her for lunch to give him time – but the trip back from McDonald’s on the other side of town was taking longer than he had thought it would. “She was bugging me about it all yesterday,” he said, as he scanned the road, looking for a white car. “She said, ‘You still haven’t asked me to prom yet. I want to be prom-prosed to.’” Little did she know… Whether she said yes, and made his day, or no, and embarrassed him in front of countless friends and schoolmates – though there was little doubt she was going to say yes – the day was going to be memorable for another reason. This was Kafley’s first time on a horse. “I feel like the man,” he said. “You can’t stop a man on a horse. She (the horse) is nervous. I’m not nervous.” Petting her mane, he allowed a softer side to show: “Oh my God, this is soft.” In time, as noon approached, a white car appeared in the distance. Gallant stepped from the car and said, “this is crazy!” before adding, “I’m so happy. That’s a yes!” As they rode off into the sunset, so to speak, trying to hold hands when the horses weren’t pulling them apart, Gallant said, “I totally knew something was up.”

SNP hold Meanwhile, next door in Perth and North Perthshire, SNP MP Peter Wishart held his seat, and actually increased his share of the vote by 10.9 per cent from the last 2010 vote. He beat his nearest challenger, Conservative Alexander Stewart, by 9,641 votes. Wishart’s vote count was 27,379 (50.5 per cent) to Stewart’s 17,738 (37.7 per cent), while the Labour candidate, Scott Nicholson, was way down at 8.1 per cent in See SNP page P6

Eight months ago, Gordon Banks savoured sweet victory when his fellow Scots rejected the idea of independence in a referendum. Last Thursday, however, the Labour MP for Ochil and South Perthshire, our town’s namesake community in Scotland, and one of two MPs we profiled in a series of articles about the historic vote, was himself caught up in another game-changer election – the nearly complete decimation of his party in Scotland. Banks was defeated by Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh of the separatist Scottish National Party (SNP). The SNP saw its vote rise by 18.4 per cent in the riding from the last election in May of 2010, while Labour’s vote in the area was down 9.5 per cent. AhmedSheikh received 26,620 votes to Banks’ 16,452, or, 46 per cent to 28.4 per cent of the overall vote respectively. Turnout was about 74.8 per cent, according to the BBC. Ahmed-Sheikh, 44, is described as a businesswoman, lawyer, screen actress and mother of four on the party website. She is also a columnist for a nationalist daily
newspaper, The National. The tabloid Daily Record reports that she is also the first nationalist MP for the area since 1974-1979. According to The Scotsman newspaper, she becomes her party’s first female Muslim MP, one of a record 13 Muslims elected to Westminster last week. She has a rather varied political background, having stood as a Conservative Party candidate for the inaugural Scottish parliament in 1999. A year later, according to the Record, she defected to the SNP. It also emerged that she was a member of the Labour Party for two years in the 1990s.

NOISY VEHICLES Under the Highway Traffic Act, motorists are required to have mufflers operating in good working order and that prevent excessive or unusual sound or smoke. Under the Act, muffler cut-outs, straight exhaust, gutted mufflers, Hollywood mufflers, bypasses and similar devices are prohibited, as are any modifications to increase the sound output of a vehicle above allowed levels. After-market parts added to vehicles that do not contain baffles can result in an overly loud engine roar when travelling, especially when accelerating. This is disruptive to residents and businesses and affects quality of life. During the third week of May, Lanark County OPP
will be conducting education and enforcement activities related to noisy vehicles in Perth. If an officer determines a vehicle has an after-market or modified muffler that contains no baffles, the motorist may be issued a ticket that carries a $110 fine for either “Unnecessary Noise” or “Improper Muffler.” No demerit points are associated with these offences. Subsequent failure to ensure the vehicle is serviced with a proper muffler could result in further charges. POLICE WEEK – MAY 10th to 16th, 2015 The theme for Police Week is “Discover Policing.” Thanks go out to all of the men and women who help to keep our communities safe! Learn more on

Perth welcomes wedding parties throughout the year
It was a sunny, crisp day, Oct. 1, 1993. Stewart Park was ablaze with fall colours and the waters of the Tay River were rolling by. About 20 people were gathered at the front of the park to celebrate the wedding of a couple close to their hearts. Everyone was smiling as the couple recited their vows, signing the license at a small, makeshift table and beaming as cameras snapped. This scene took place 22 years ago, when Gisele and John decided to take the plunge. Gisele says, “We chose the park because of the natural beauty, with the trees and river rolling behind our service, it was the perfect day for a fall wedding. To this day, whenever I wander through the park, I reflect on that morning. I love taking my grandson nearby.” In 1993, a wedding in Stewart Park was not a common thing. Fast forward to spring 2015 and phones are ringing off the hook at the municipal office, at banquet facilities, the hotel and B&B’s all over Perth and district. Brides and grooms are calling to make their wedding arrangements for 2015, 2016 and beyond. It’s a magical niche market that Perth has cornered, and for those individuals and businesses in the wedding industry, it’s not about building something new, it’s about capitalizing on something wonderful we already have. In 2012 Perth Mayor John Fenik acclaimed Perth “The Wedding Capital of Eastern Ontario” in a campaign to promote the wedding-related businesses that operate here. The obvious players are in the accommodation sector: hotel, motels, B&B’s, even campgrounds. But others are benefitting also: the florists, the bakers, the cupcake makers! Not to mention hair stylists, banquet facilities, venue spaces, clergy and churches, tuxedos and men’s wear, equipment rentals, photographers and DJ’s, to name a few. All of these services are required for a wedding, large or small, and there are many reasons the industry does so well in Perth. As the world becomes smaller, more people are travelling to get married, sometimes seeking a convenient location to bring families together, or sometimes just seeking a unique destination or experience. Many couples long to escape the big city and the big price tag that comes with it. Still,

there are others who choose to “come home” for their big day. Natalie and Martin, of Gatineau, Quebec, heard about Perth before becoming engaged. Natalie’s parents visited Perth two summers ago. They stopped to have a picnic in Stewart Park and were treated to a wedding while there. Natalie’s grandmother lives in Lakefield (near Peterborough), so the family often travels Highway #7. Natalie is enthusiastic when she talks about day trips she has taken with her mother to Perth since then, enjoying the beauty and character of the old houses, the nice shops and having lunch downtown. Natalie says, “The Crystal Palace was a blank canvass. I had lots of specific ideas about what I wanted, and it allowed me to do all of them.” Natalie and Martin have family attending their 2015 wedding from Toronto and the Sherbrooke, Quebec area. Everyone is staying overnight, and Natalie is thrilled that her guests can stay at the nearby Best Western Hotel or one of the many B&B’s, and easily walk to their accommodations at the end of the evening. In a further effort to boost the wedding campaign, Perth Tourism will host its first ever Heritage Perth Wedding Show at the Crystal Palace on Sunday, May 24. Says Tourism Manager, Karen Rennie, “The Wedding Show is intended to showcase the many wedding-related businesses and services available in Perth and district. There has been such a keen interest in the campaign,” she says, “we’re anticipating it will be a great day.” The show has been promoted and advertised to the Kingston-Ottawa market and beyond. Admission is $5 per person, and the show runs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information about the Heritage Perth Wedding Show (which is presented in concert with our Signature Sponsor – Rental Village Special Events), please call 613-267-1947 or email kfox@perth.ca Perth is popular for so many reasons, and the wedding campaign adds another feather to the cap. If you’re considering tying the knot in Perth, please call ahead for available dates and tourism information. Submitted by the Town of Perth Connected to Your Community - P4 - Thursday, May 14, 2015

Relay for Life challenges you to accept the baton Each and every Canadian must accept the baton to fight cancer in all its forms if we are ever going to see an end to this devastating disease. This year’s Relay For Life event is capitalizing on its relay format to challenge team leaders to physically pass the baton to co-workers, friends and family and urge them to take part in this worthwhile fundraiser. Amber Coville, a Smiths Falls town hall staff member has accepted the baton and is in the process of creating a municipal relay team for the local event June 13 at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. This year’s theme is 1950s sock hop complete with poodle skirts, bobby socks and saddle shoes. The music will keep playing all night long from 6 p.m. to midnight. For the first time, the Relay For Life event in Smiths Falls is cutting its operating hours in half in the hopes that more families will take to the
course and have fun. A second Relay For Life event is scheduled for Gemmill Park in Almonte on June 5, 2015 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. RFL is an inspirational, non-competitive fundraising event that brings the community together to celebrate life and fight cancer. All proceeds raised go to the Canadian Cancer Society to assist with cancer research and support the many programs that the society’s Lanark, Leeds & Grenville community office offers to those who have cancer, cancer survivors and caregivers. Last year’s event raised $58,200 with the 2015 target being $80,000. For further information on the RFL in Smiths Falls or for help in getting registered, contact Anita Carley, community fundraising specialist for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville community office, at 613267-1058 or email her at ACarley@ontario.cancer.ca. You can also visit the RFL website at relayforlife.ca/ smithsfalls.

Join the fight against cancer at Relay
Like others in the Canadian Cancer Society’s (CCS) Relay For Life (RFL) 2015 in Smiths Falls, the members of the Zendragon team have all been impacted by cancer in one way or another. “Most recently, a member of our Zen Family was diagnosed with cancer and has since successfully gone through cancer,” team captain Melissa Hillier said. “Personally, I had a very good friend who was unable to beat Neuroblastoma as a child.” This is the third year Zendragon has participated in the RFL and Hillier says team members are looking forward to the Saturday, June 13 event, which will take place from 6 p.m. to

midnight on the track of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. The Relay in Smiths Falls has moved from the traditional 12-hour format to six hours in 2015 to encourage more people, particularly families, to take part. Last year’s event raised $58,200 with the 2015 target being $80,000. With the RFL 2015 in Smiths Falls being themed after a 1950s sock hop, fashion trends from that era such as poodle skirts, saddle shoes and bobby socks, as well as hulahoops, are expected to make a comeback for this special evening. “Details about our attire haven’t been discussed yet but I’m sure it will include some
poodle skirts and records,” Hillier hints. After previously chairing the Survivors’ activities at the event, the Smiths Falls’ resident is honoured this year to have been asked to be the community crew chair. “I believe that cancer is the one thing that we all have in common,” she shares. For further information on the RFL in Smiths Falls or for help in getting registered, contact Anita Carley, community fundraising specialist for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville community office, at 613-267-1058 or email her at ACarley@ontario.cancer.ca.

From page P1
Twitter crowing Wishart was taking to Twitter throughout much of the night and next day after the election, and once the sheer size of the SNP win started to become a reality, he wrote: “so pleased for all my new SNP colleagues. Not going to be so lonely anymore. It’s going to be some ride.” He could not resist a few digs at the Liberal Democrats, taunting them to “remember that prime suite of offices you had as the third largest party in the House?” On more practical matters, he reminded his followers that “with Labour leaderless (following the resignation of Ed Miliband), rudderless, and in chaos, it will now fall to the SNP to be the main opposition to the Tories…As (the) third largest party, we will not only be on every select committee, but we will expect to chair some of them.” He also reminded followers that their party would now be able to ask far more questions during Question Period.

third place, a dip of 8.3 per cent. Turnout was about 74.89 per cent. A former rock star, Wishart was the party’s chief whip from 2001 to 2007. Ahmed-Sheikh was quoted in The Dundee Courier as saying that “I’d like to thank our outstanding campaign team and the tremendous work they have done in the last few weeks.” Banks, 59, told the same newspaper that “the campaign was actually quite good and I think our policies were very strong this year. But at the end of the day, the voters wanted change and they decided they didn’t want to listen to us. Obviously, that’s disappointing. We have to go off now and see what lessons we can learn from this.” Banks later told the Record that “we’ve got to get people’s trust back.” He also said that his defeat was likely because of “spill-over” from last September’s referendum battle. Banks has been an MP since 2005, and Wishart an MP since 2001. Across Scotland, the SNP won 56 seats, snapping up all but three of Scotland’s 59 seats. Even more astonishing for a party that had just lost a referendum was the fact that, heading into the election to the Westminster Parliament in London, the SNP had only six seats, and increased its seat county by 50. A Canadian precedent for this would have been in April 1981, when Rene Levesque’s Parti Quebecois, despite having lost the May 1980 sovereignty referendum, went on to win an increased majority government in the Quebec National Assembly. At the national level, David Cameron’s Conservatives won a small majority government, winning 331 seats, while the Labour Party took 232 seats. The Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives’ former coalition partners for the last five years, won only eight seats. Cameron will now embark on a referendum in which British voters, likely next year, will be asked if they want to leave the European Union, following negotiations with Brussels.

Hunger becomes a tragic movie, with a happy ending
Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Students at Maple Grove Public School have used iMovie technology to make their fellow students aware of hunger in their very own school. Following the success of a “Trick or Eat,” event this past October, when Grade 5 and 6 students went door-to-door in costume to collect items for the Lanark Food Bank, Grade 3 and 4 students in Laura Fowler’s class used short films on their tablets to reinforce the message of supporting the food bank. The video is available for viewing on the school’s Facebook page. Sadly, the message was all too familiar for about 20 per cent of the school’s population, who already use the food bank at the Lanark Highlands Township school. The school collected about 217 items, which were picked up for the Flood of Food campaign on Friday, May 8. By far, the winning class was the Grade 1-2 class, which donated about 110 items, followed by the 56 items from the Grade 3-4 class. Grade 5-6 has 32 items, and the kindergarten class brought in 27 items. The top class will receive a pizza party for their efforts.

All choked up about spring
I
know I wrote a column about spring just a few weeks ago, but I am Canadian, so frequent weather updates are required. I’m not going to complain about anything because I have been absolutely ecstatic about the disappearance of winter. I’m so happy I have been wandering around the yard taking pictures of pretty much anything that blooms or turns green. I have recorded an evolution of tree branches: from barren to budding to full-blown leafing. There are lilacs and an incredible display of apple blossoms and a carpet of violets in a forest of slowly sprouting raspberry canes. I have happily raked until I have blisters, and then I rake some more. I’ve even been raking other people’s yards because, well, it’s spring and I have a rake. Since I also like to dig and need to channel my desire to build a bunker into something more practical (I know…there are definitely some arguments for and against this), I have already turned the veggie gardens. In a fit of recklessness on the weekend when it was hot, I even went ahead and planted some seeds. This was partly due to the fact Girlchild was very eager to help with the planting and I know we have some busy weekends coming up so we might as well get it done. Hopefully we will avoid frost and blizzards, except for the Dairy Queen kind. ’Tis the season, already, for dirty feet. I have shunned socks and now slip on a pair of Crocs whenever I head to the garden. This is a bad plan because all the dirt gets in through the holes, which means I need to clean my feet a lot. I can’t decide if I am a moron or if I secretly enjoy frequent foot baths. Or maybe it means I need to live outside. Hmm….. It doesn’t matter. I am revelling in spring. But (there’s always at least a little “but”) this bliss has come at a price. Sometimes I have allergies in the spring and fall. I grew into them in my late 20s and now I occasionally suffer from those things you hear about on the commercials: itchy, watery eyes; runny nose; sneezing. For over a week it was absolutely awful. I think the only way it could have been worse is if I had tied a

pouch of pollen around my neck or maybe stuffed my pillow full of it at night. But (another but), darn it, I wasn’t gonna let it stop me. There was raking and digging and planting to do. There was a new, non-exploding, patio table to build and things to sweep and all manner of outside work to get done amid a fine cloud of yellow dust. And, yes, I sat on my patio and wept pollen-y tears, but not because I was sad. That was one heckuva long, cold winter. I don’t think I have ever been so glad to be outside for long periods of time without the risk of frostbite as I have been since mid-April. Even when we got a weird heat wave and humidity that made my allergies feel 10 times worse, I was still happy to let the warmth seep into my bones as I sat on the patio being bitten by mosquitoes and spending quality time with a box of Kleenex. Ah, bliss. Allergy medication also helps. One other tiny unfortunate thing (still trying not to complain!) is that we had to install our upstairs window air conditioner a lot earlier than usual to combat the aforementioned heat. The air conditioner goes in my office window, which blocks my view of the street and spells the end of opening that window to let in the breeze. (Although it blocks out the pollen….) Mostly it’s disappointing for my office buddy, Ramsey the cat, who finds it to be an ideal squirrel-and-bird-viewing location. I’ll just move the laptop to the patio office and get lots of fresh air there. I just have to be sure to dust things off fairly frequently, though. And I’m not going to mention the fact I had to pull out a fleece sweater the day after the A/C was installed. It’s all good. So far I haven’t had to use the snow brush to remove maple flowers off my car. Even if I do, I don’t mind. It’s spring!

Celebrating the special rebels in my life
H
appy birthday, Mom, and Em… pass the ice cream cake. Each year, Mom celebrates her birthday on Mother’s Day, even if it’s not the same day. This year though, they just happened to work. Em also has a birthday in early May and this year we were all able to get together for the celebratory cake… and tattoos. (Not Emalee, just mother and I. Em may bite next time.) For the entire weekend, Mom and I hung out and had some girl fun. From shopping in Brockville to dinner with the gang, we also got inked. Every five years, Mom’s a rebel. She got her first one 10 years ago. This time out, she wanted one to signify her grandchildren: Emalee and Sophia. So armed with a plan, we headed to Carleton Place and the man who has created all but one of my own tats – I have more than Mom, but less than 10. I don’t think that’s too bad… yet. Pete McDonald at Body Graphics Tattoo was expecting us at 10:30 a.m. Art-
LAURIE WEIR Weir View ist Johnny was available for her, as Pete had some unexpected errands to run, so Johnny set to work on giving Mom her new ink. She found some swirly font and Johnny got out the massage table. Massage table? Say what? She was getting her leg tattooed, so it was a bit awkward for the inker. She had to get a little horizontal. Johnny transferred the tattoo to a carbon paper and pressed it to her leg to mark the spot. It was a bit offside to my eye, so he rejigged it. OK, looks good now, I told them, so Mom hopped up on the table and got comfortable with a pillow. There were some awful grimaces going on though, and a few swear words. I told her to suck it up. She vowed to punch me if I got too close. Naturally, I photographed it. Within 10 minutes she

was upright again... I tried hard to ward off the punch. By this time, Pete showed up and asked what I wanted. “How about a refresher?” I asked him. He carefully drew out my astrological sign to cover up the old and faded 20-year-old ankle tattoo that I got in Prince Edward Island two husbands ago. Long gone now is that old ink (both the husband and the Pisces tattoo) and replacing it is a stellar new pair of fishes. Beautiful. Sunday’s brunch got the clan together in Brockville where we dove into the remainder of Em’s DQ coffee cake and played poolside with Sophie who decided the water was “freezing, but OK” to dunk her feet into. Thanks for the great weekend gang. We’ll take you for your tat next year, Em… I may even let you drive. Probably not though; it was more fun letting you drive when you were 10. To those two Taurus rebels in my life who had significant birthdays this year, I love you dearly.

Film Night International in Perth has always been a popular series of events. So there’s little surprise when they were recently named this year’s winner of the 2015 Film Circuit People’s Choice Awards contest. Out of approximately 170 film clubs in Canada, the Perth group had the highest percentage of audience members voting for their favourite films of the previous year. Winning films, both screened by Film Night International, were The Grand Seduction (favourite Canadian film) and The Lunchbox (favourite international film). As a prize, the Film Circuit will be sponsoring a Perth screening this fall so that people get in free. Stay tuned for more details.

Shoe Sale this weekend If you’re wondering why vehicles are parked along Rogers Road this weekend, it’ll be because the Brown Shoe is having its annual sale. The sale starts May 15 and wraps up on the 18, and it’s been said out-of-towners make their way to Perth specifically for the sale.

Film night wins people’s choice award
Perth’s People: Honouring Steve the Snake Murphys Point lost a good friend last week: Steve the Snake. First caught in 2003, the grey ratsnake was seen multiple times every year, especially by his namesake, Steve, the maintenance foreman. Steve was Murphys Point’s first of six snakes implanted last year with a radio transmitter and was scheduled to have it removed last week. According to Murphys Point, he had just emerged from hibernation and was likely on his way to his favourite hangout around the maintenance building when a tractor trailer accidentally hit him. He was likely close to 20 years of age. The Friends of Murphys Point Park are credited for funding various projects over the years, allowing Murphys Point staff to learn more about Steve and other snakes in the region. This is also a reminder that snakes are on the move right now and to give both them and turtles a brake.
Have a Racquet on the Tennis Courts Are you thinking about signing up for a new sport this summer? If so, the Perth Tay Tennis Club season opener will be held May 23 from 9 a.m. to noon at Conlon Farm. It took me a while to craft this puntastic (or sad?) header for this section. And, really, you shouldn’t be making any racket on the tennis courts. But, please, bring your racquet. This could get confusing. Seriously, this is a fun morning for all levels of players, so don’t hesitate to come out and meet the members and see what the club is all about. For anyone interested in joining or learning more about the club, you can visit the website at Do you have a Private I idea for me?

Reader suggests market can draw more people to town
I was leafing through The Perth Courier, and noted a brief well-expressed Letter to the Editor by Sandy Roach on “Hometown Pride”, which I fully agree with. One thing comes to mind, however, and that is the Saturday Farmer’s Market in the Perth Crystal Palace. I’ve enjoyed shopping there on a number of occasions, and there always seems to be a good crowd. It’s part of the small town experience, especially for seasonal cottagers in the area. It also helps to draw other tourist trade into Perth, with the attendant spin-offs to other merchants as well. I feel the market could be expanded to include Sundays. Additionally, in my view, the seller’s fee of $5 could be dropped to encourage more sellers, and hopefully expand the enterprise. While the $5 charge to sellers may not seem like much, it still sends a negative message, and to a small merchant it may make the difference between showing up or staying home. The whole point of the exercise is to attract people to central Perth, and expand its’ potential as a destination. Local farmers markets are a big draw, particularly in smaller communities, so why not capitalize on the trend? Dave Bougie Ottawa

SMA fundraiser busts previous record bringing in $33,900 Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Supporters of Mason Stewart and others living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) came out for an afternoon and evening of music at Little Rock Farm smashing last year’s fundraising efforts. This year, the event brought in $33,900. “It was awesome,” said Jenna Stewart, Mason’s mom. “We had about 500 people… it was quite a turnout.” Stewart said the day went off without a hitch – something that she credits to the work of the organizing committee. The day featured musical entertainment by headliner, Brea Lawrenson, along with up and comer country voice and local talent, Henry Norwood, and Andy Bowes. “Brea was amazing,” said Lori Wintle, treasurer. “We had a lot of people out for the music. We love to hear Andy yodel and he brought the best.” A barbecue, auction, kids games and a fun run were some of the other featured events. The Stewart family also present-
ed two $1,000 bursaries named after Dave Onion, which were awarded to two families – one in Almonte and one in Toronto to aid children with SMA. The Bartlett family has a little girl, about four years of age, who has SMA. The funds for her will be used to help renovate a bathroom for her. The McCardy family of Almonte has a young lad, also around four years of age, who is in need of a wheelchair. The bursaries are named after Dave Onion, friend of the Stewart family. SMA is the number one genetic killer of children under two and one in 40 people carry the gene. SMA can impact anyone at any age, race or gender. The committee is thankful for all who supported the event, and who helped make this one the most successful fundraiser to date, “especially to Hugh Colton. Without him and his connections, it wouldn’t be half as successful as it is,” said Wintle. “We may be looking for a bigger venue.” With files from Stacey Roy

Days of Yore … In The Perth Courier of February 11, 1971: “For lovers of the big band sound, P&DCI auditorium was the place to be last Wednesday night when the Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces thrilled a full house with everything from rock to the classics. The fifty-piece band under the baton of Lieutenant Commander William Gordon, provided a varied and professional program. Mr. E. Graham, director of music at P&DCI said the band will probably be invited back to Perth next year. Did you know? Turkey is currently developing a Main Battle Tank (MBT) called the “Altay”, which should see formal introduction in 2015 or 2016. The Turkish government is said to be procuring 250 vehicles initially, with an eventual goal of 1000, at approximately $5.5 million USD each. Turkey maintains one of the largest and most powerful militaries in the world today.
Sir John A. drops into historical society meeting The Perth and District Historical Society welcomes Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald and his wife, Lady Agnes, to its meeting on May 21. Speaking about the Macdonalds will be Brian and Renee Porter. The subject for the evening’s presentation will be the domestic side of Sir John A.’s life: his mother, Helen Shaw; his first wife and half first cousin, Isabella Clark, invalided later in their marriage; his second wife, Agnes Bernard; his two sisters, Margaret (Williamson) who married later in life, and Louisa who never married; his disabled daughter, Mary; and his granddaughter, Isabella. As was the custom of the day, upon his father’s death, Sir John A. assumed responsibility for his mother when she became widowed and also for his sisters while not married. In addition, Renee will read excerpts from Agnes’ diary. Brian Porter is originally from Peterborough and while attending Peterborough Collegiate, he met Renee Blackshaw, who would become his wife. He graduated from Carleton University with a B.A. in History, and became an elementary school teacher in Brockville. Initially, he taught history and geography at the Grade 7 and 8 levels, then changed to junior grades teaching most subjects.
Mother’s Day HEARING AID SALE
Since moving to Brockville, he discovered that his family roots in the area on the maternal side are deep, going back five generations. Since retiring from teaching, Brian has transferred his love of history to performing re-enactments. Prior to portraying Sir John A., he participated in re-enactments by the Brockville Infantry Company (1862). Renee Porter also from Peterborough, is a retired maternity nurse. She has joined her husband in re-enacting history. She is an accomplished seamstress and quilter, and has made several dresses, striving for historical accuracy. The Porters have been portraying the Macdonalds for over 15 years. The Perth and District Historical Society is dedicated to learning about and popularizing our history. It is a forum for discussion and celebration of our area’s rich culture and heritage. The meetings are open to the public, on the third Thursday of each month, at 7:30 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth-Upon-Tay, Branch 244, home of the Hall of Remembrance, at 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth. The usual “Toonie Fee” applies for each meeting. For information, contact David Taylor at 613-264-0094.

emphasis on his grandfather, Randy Ritchie, who played left wing for the team from 1968 to 1970. The Grade 5 student, who plays defence and hopes to play for Perth one day, interviewed his grandfather as part of his project, even printing up special Ritchie rookie cards for the ’68 season. His grandfather did not hesitate to tell his grandson that “the skills back then were better than today.” For Grade 4 Queen Elizabeth Public School student Sadi Gibson, she had to look no further than her own back yard to find inspiration for her project on heritage apples. Her family had moved from Kingston to Perth and their new home came with a heritage apple orchard in the back yard. “We would pick them and we bought this cider press to make cider and applesauce,” she said. She was particularly interested in “disappearing apples,” varieties that are either extinct or the brink of it. One such apple is the Harrison apple, which was thought to be extinct, until a single tree was discovered in New Jersey in the 1970s. Jessica Wedden, a Grade 7 student at St. John Catholic High School, brought her passion for fiddle music and explored the history of the instrument, beloved to Canada’s native, Scottish, FrenchCanadian, Celtic and other peoples. She has been playing for more than three years, and wants to be a professional musician. Jakob Wissink, a Grade 4 student at Calvary Christian Academy in Franktown, took on a rather messy subject – Canada Geese. “They were thought to be extinct (in 1962) and now they are over-populated,” said Wissink, who added that 50 geese can produce approximately 2.5 tonnes of excrement per year. On the upside, though, “they do fertilize when they go to the bathroom.” Wissink is able to get up close and personal with the geese because he is the second place junior duck call champion at this year’s championship in Moncton, NB. “I think they are beautiful creatures,” he said. A trip to Halifax got Fiona Giroux, a Grade 6 student from Sacred Heart of Jesus elementary school in Lanark Village, thinking about the infamous Halifax Explosion of Dec. 6, 1917, which killed about 2,000 people instantly. More than 1,000 more people died later of their injuries.
History is full of heroes – and Lyndsey Empey calls her hero, Mom. The Grade 6 Lombardy Public School student attended the Perth Regional Heritage Fair at the Royal Canadian Legion hall on Thursday, May 7, to showcase her display on the Smiths Falls Police Service. For Empey, her subject brought the personal and the historic together – as officers, by and large, whether they were part-time, on-call constables in the village in 1854, or from the time of the creation of a full-time force in 1881, face the same obstacles now as they did in the 19th century. “I just worry about if she would ever get hurt or something,” said Empey. “Every day she goes, I tell her to be safe. She knows what she’s doing.” For Curtin Carnrite, a Grade 6 student at St. John Catholic High School, his hero is far more well known, but a little less accessible than Empey’s mother – though no less under the gun, so to speak. As of this writing (our newspaper goes to press on Tuesday night), the Montreal Canadiens will be trying to stave off elimination at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6. But if they do not advance to the next round of the playoffs, it won’t be for the lack of effort by star goaltender Carey Price – whom Carnrite profiled for his history project. “I did it because he is very focused on the game,” said Carnrite, sitting with his friend Davidson Strong, a fellow Grade 6 student, from Glen Tay Public School, in seats from Perth’s old Balderson Theatre, which Strong had brought in for his presentation. “He (Price) simply loves it. He just loves it,” said Carnrite. “If he lets a goal in, he makes sure the next one doesn’t get in.” He admits that the Canadiens have not done very well against Tampa Bay, likely “because Tampa Bay knows all of their strengths” and weaknesses. Carnrite said it was not hard to profile someone who was not only still alive, but also in the news these days. “I’ve done other players in the past,” said Carnrite, who also plays goal himself for the Perth Peewee B1 team. “I believe they (the Canadiens) can do it. I believe that a miracle can happen.” “I saw the memorial and I wanted to learn more For Drummond Central School student Oliver Goebel, his project was able to marry both the per- about it,” she said. “It was one of the biggest exsonal and the sporting sides of his family.

The Psalms of the Old Testament is the most read and quoted section of the entire Bible. For example both Christian and non-Christian folk have heard Psalm 23 “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” Within the second half of the Bible, the New Testament, the Psalms is often added as a companion to the publication. Jesus quoted the Psalms while being crucified on the cross; “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” The Psalms resonate with our human and spiritual reality. When we experience this something within wants to proclaim to God how majestic is your name. Psalm 8 is not quite as familiar, but still holds a tremendous weight of influence: From the mouths of children and nursing babies you have ordained praise (v2) (NET) When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man that You take thought of him? (v3-4)(NASV)
These two quotes alone from this Psalm are enough to inspire the writing of several books. We have all experienced the cooing of a babe in arms. It is love that speaks to us approvingly at the giggle of a little child. The sky above and horizons on the expanse before us have at some moment stilled the heart with awe. It is love that overwhelms us at the pure beauty of the universe. These two statements are dear to many because they express surprise and joy over God’s huge love for us human beings. If we give it good honest thought, then we note that every day is filled with attempts to be affirmed. “I am OK.” This is because something in us consistently says otherwise; “No, I am not OK.” But the cooing baby, reaching out its arms toward us, says; “You are OK.” The grandeur of the universe, its beauty and bigness assures us that we have been included. We are a child of creation. Since God is the inspiration from which all this springs He is given homage again at the close of the psalm “how majestic is your name?”

A former conservative prime minister brought the federal election campaign to Perth last week. But, no, it wasn’t Joe Clark, Brian Mulroney or Kim Campbell, but the political granddaddy of them all – Sir John A. Macdonald. And while our own federal election is only a few months away, on Oct. 19, Macdonald came ready to fight the Feb. 22, 1887 federal election all over again, with a campaign-style rally at the Studio Theatre in Perth, complete with the cheering crowds, a union jack flag leading the way, and political posters encouraging his fellow Canadians to once again vote for the old policies, the old leader, and the old flag once again. “I know all of you will be voting the right way in the next election,” he said with a wink. But while Macdonald’s speech – aptly relayed by retired teacher and historian Brian Porter of Brockville – was certainly not without its partisan snipes, it was tempered by Macdonald’s legendary humour. “In that speech, you heard a lot of his own words. You heard some of his corny jokes,” explained Porter, breaking character afterwards. “He was a man who never joked about his opponents to hurt them.” Looking very well indeed for a man

One of the opposition leaders who squared off against him, like Liberal leader Edward Blake – whom Macdonald bested in the 1882 and 1887 votes – said that Macdonald’s dream of the Canadian Pacific Railway would be nothing more than “two strands of rust” that would never turn a profit. He later proved Blake wrong. Macdonald also took a pot shot at unelected opponents, like George Brown, owner of the Toronto Globe, a long time critic of him. He told the joke that Brown regularly went to the barber for a shave, at 10 cents a pop. But on the day after the 1887 election, Brown’s barber demanded
ence that he was a man ahead of his time, when “I thought it was time that the ladies had the right to vote. I think it is an idea whose time has come.” He also commended the young people who had participated in the fair, at the nearby Royal Canadian Legion, for their study into Canada’s past. “It does my heart good to see so much interest in the study of Canada’s history,” said Macdonald. “We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.” As ever, the Father of Confederation continued his great belief in the future of our country. “It sails yet on a prosperous voyage.”

Carol Fraser, Joan Weir and Edith Simon take part in the luncheon to honour hospital volunteers.
Hospital volunteers honoured Over one hundred volunteers from both sites of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital were treated to the annual volunteer luncheon on April 16, during Volunteer Appreciation Week. The luncheon was held at the Civitan Club. Guests were welcomed and thanked by Beverly McFarlane, President and CEO of the hospital, who declared that “the heart of a volunteer is not measured by its size, but by its commitment. We celebrate all of you!” Richard Schooley, chair of the Hospital Board, also thanked the assembly, pointing out that there are more than two hundred volunteers working in the two sites, and that they contributed almost twenty-five thousand hours of service annually. If this contribution were expressed in monetary terms the total
would amount to almost $500,000. “One of the most important aspects of the volunteers is that they connect the hospital to the community,” Schooley said. The luncheon was served by members of the senior staff of both hospitals. Two lucky volunteers from each of the 10 tables were delighted to take home one of the beautiful flower centrepieces. Although volunteers do not perform their duties to be thanked, everyone agreed that it is wonderful to be appreciated! New volunteers at either site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital are always needed and welcomed. To volunteer, contact the Human Resources Department at PSFDH. Submitted by the PSFDH

‘Sir John A.’ makes early campaign stop in Perth
ADVERTISEMENT
Originally published May 2nd, 2015 Benjamin Disraeli, the distinguished British Prime Minister, once ridiculed an opposition member of parliament by saying, ‘He is distinguished by his ignorance for he only had one idea and that was wrong’. Today 99 percent of doctors have one idea that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-and-end-all to low- Dr. Gifford-Jones er blood cholesterol. I believe history will prove them wrong. This week, an old prisoner experiment tells a story, along with a natural remedy to lower blood cholesterol. Dr John Judkin, formerly Emeritus Professor of Physiology at London University, London, England, made headlines years ago when he reported that a high dietary intake of animal fat and the eating of foods containing cholesterol were not the cause of coronary heart disease. Of course he was ridiculed for such an idea. But Judkin pointed to a greater correlation between the intake of sucrose (ordinary sugar) and coronary attack. For instance, a study conducted in 15 countries showed that as the population consumed more sugar, there was a dramatic increase in heart attack. What is more impressive is a prison study carried out by Milton Winitz, a U.S. biochemist, in 1964. 18 prisoners, kept behind bars for six months, were provided food that was well regulated. In this controlled environment it was proven that when the prisoner diet was high in sugar, blood cholesterol increased and when dietary sugar was decreased there was a huge drop in blood cholesterol. Can you imagine the screaming and hollering from rights groups if researchers tried this experiment today! History is on Professor Judkin’s side. 100 years ago coronary heart attack was a rare event. In fact, so rare that Dr. Dudley White, Harvard’s famous cardiologist, remarked that when a case arrived in Emergency at the Massachusetts General Hospital, other doctors were alerted so they could witness this disease first-hand. In the last 100 years there’s been an extraordinary change in North American dietary habits. Now we feed children cereals that are often half sugar. I’ve said facetiously that it would be safer for them to eat the box! We have soft drinks, desserts and prepared foods loaded with sugar. It’s hard to escape what I’ve labeled ‘the white devil’. But why does excess sugar cause an increase in blood cholesterol? Once ingested, sugar breaks down into equal amounts of glucose and fructose. Glucose is then used to power the biochemical process that provides energy for daily functions of the body. Fructose, on the other hand, follows a different route, producing acetate that is one of the building blocks needed by the liver to manufacture cholesterol. So the more sugar you eat the greater the production of cholesterol. But you don’t have to be behind bars to lower blood cholesterol. A natural product, Sytrinol, consists of polymethoxylated flavons derived from the peel of citrus fruits. It also includes tocotrienols, powerful antioxidants, extracted from the fruit of the palm tree. Dr. Michael T. Murray, one of the world’s authorities on natural medicine, says, ‘The research on Sytrinol is extremely impressive.’ This is because multiple studies show that in many cases Sytrinol lowers blood cholesterol by 30 percent, LDL the bad cholesterol, by 27 percent and triglycerides, by 34 percent. These changes may occur within one month. Sytrinol works by decreasing the oxidation of bad cholesterol, a factor in plaque formation that narrows coronary arteries. Sytrinol also decreases inflammation of arteries, believed to be associated with heart attack. And by lubricating platelets, the small blood particles responsible for blood clot formation, it curbs the chance of one forming in coronary arteries. The dose of Sytrinol is 300 milligrams once a day. It is well tolerated with no complications reported even when 50 X the regular dose is prescribed. It’s available in Health Food Stores. I believe it’s always prudent to try natural remedies first, due to the potential complications of cholesterol-lowering drugs. The moral? Having one idea that is wrong is dangerous. It’s also wrong to forget that the first rule of medicine is ‘to do no harm’. Online: docgiff.com ; For comments: info@docgiff.com

Fundraising dinner for homeless youth takes place May 23 in Perth You are invited to a fundraising dinner for Cornerstone Landing Youth Services on Saturday, May 23 at 5:30 p.m. This local non-profit organization helps young people, who can no longer live in their parents’ home, to continue their education. St. James Anglican Church in Perth is hosting the dinner, which includes a four-course meal, wine, entertainment by the Men of the Tay and the St. James Quartet, and a silent auction. For young people being homeless – or “couchhopping” is more prevalent than you might think. Estimates are three per thousand of the overall population, which means that Perth, with its population of 6,000, could have as many as 18 homeless young people at any one time. Two people Cornerstone has helped have allowed us to tell about their experiences. “Having the Support of Cornerstone has made all the difference in where I am today,” says Colin. “By providing me with a monthly rent supplement, I am able to stay in school, collect some benefits and juggle a job. I’m 17 years old, having to live on my own and, for the first time in my life, I have been successful at school! I believe, with the support of Cornerstone, that next year I can graduate from high school and I plan on continuing my education in college. Finally, my future looks bright.” “In my last year of high school I had to go and live with my grandmother, who is only living on an old age pension,” says Jannell. “Thanks to Cornerstone, they provided me with “gift certificates” that
enabled me to help out with food, personal hygiene supplies and clothes for my co-op placement. Before I met the people from Cornerstone, my grades were failing and I was thinking of dropping out of school to get a job, but instead this June I will be graduating and in September I will be heading off to college to take the RPN (Registered Practical Nurse) course. Thanks for caring!” The young people are referred to Cornerstone by the various service organizations throughout the Lanark area, including Perth, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place. Cornerstone assists them with vouchers to cover clothing, food and other expenses. Those helped are mainly homeless young people who are attending high school but have ended up on the street, usually through no fault of their own, but due to a variety of problems at home. The organization relies totally on donations from local groups such as the Perth Community Foundation, the Civitan Club, individual donations and fundraising events. Tickets for the dinner cost $50, with a tax receipt for $25 available on request. They can be obtained from St. James Church Office at 613-267-1163 or by contacting Eleanor Drover at 613-267-9627. The dinner will be held in the Good Shepherd Hall at St. James, which is accessed from Beckwith Street E.

On Saturday, May 9, members of the Perth Lions Club set up on a road toll at Gore and Tay street to collect for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB). Passing drivers had the opportunity to give a voluntary toll to support initiatives such as mobility training and children’s services for the blind or partially sighted, as well as the CNIB library. Drivers headed to the opening of the Perth Farmers’ Market roll down their windows and donate handfuls of change to the cause. Here, Jerry Sawdon and George Callan from the Lion’s Club collect donations.
YAK and Garbage Gopher to host e-waste round up public collection YAK Youth Services and Garbage Gopher are hosting another E-Waste Round up on May 29 and 30, to collect and recycle unwanted electronic waste such as MP3 players, cameras, telephones, TVs, VCR & DVD players and recorders, radios, computers and more. The event is being held in cooperation with RecycleYourElectronics.ca — Ontario’s electronic waste diversion program, operated by Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES). OES makes it easier for Ontarians to safely recycle their electronic waste and keep it out of landfill. There are 44 electronic items accepted at hundreds of OES-approved collection sites across the province, including sites in Perth. The community is invited to drop off their unwanted electronics at YAK (The old Perth Shoe Factory at 1 Sherbrooke Street East in Perth) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Residents who cannot attend the event can call YAK at 613-264-8381 to arrange for our volunteers to pick up the unwanted electronics free of charge on May 29 and 30. Proceeds from this year’s E-Waste Round up will support programming and operations at YAK.

ing both days so we invite you to stop by to pick up a great deal and support some great causes. “Ontarians have embraced the RecycleYourElectronics.ca program and continue to take action by visiting approved drop-off sites or depots in their communities,” said Sandra Pakosh, OES Marketing and Communications Director. “Since beginning operations in 2009, the program has diverted well over 200,000 metric tonnes of electronics from landfill. If stacked in tractor trailer loads parked end-to-end, it would stretch from downtown Toronto to Elliot Lake.”

Fieldworks opens to public
It’s market time in Perth
Kelly Kent/METROLAND
The rain held off just long enough for locals to flock to the opening of the Perth Farmers’ Market on Saturday, May 9. Vendors filled the space at Crystal Palace, both inside and out, to offer up goods from baked goods to gardening supplies. Above, Sylvia van Oort of Sylvia’s Plant Place takes a minute between helping her many eager customers that morning to arrange various plant seedlings for sale. To the left, Gord “The Tomato Man” Rutherford, from Perth’s Kailyard urban hobby farm, holds up a tomato seedling. He strives to sell all of his seedlings in recycled paper cups, many of which he finds discarded on walks with his dog. Below, Diane Bradley of Kings Creek Garlic Farm invites marketgoers to her booth to entice them with her many garlic products. She says the Perth Farmers’ Market is her farm’s way to gear up for the Garlic Festival later this summer.
As the birds begin to return and the frost is losing its grip on the ground at Fieldwork several new artists have also been arriving in the past weeks to create new installations for this year’s exhibition of site-responsive art that opened Saturday, May 9. Your eyes and imaginations will be delighted by this year’s new works. A wave of green and blue by Christine Nobel and Brian Barth will greet you as you arrive as 191 Meters draws attention to the subtle shifts in topography and imagines the way water may have drained from the land when a glacial lake that covered the area receded 12,000 years ago. Also bringing fresh perspective to the landscape at Fieldwork and illuminating an important chapter in the history of painting and drawing technique is Franc van Oort’s Eye Box. This human-scaled Camera Obscura at the east end of the field is sure to open eyes and minds. Franc has been furiously experimenting with optical lenses, focal lengths, and rotation devices in his studio like a modern day Da Vinci and enlisted the help of his daughter, Almonte artist Linda Hamilton, and his sister-inlaw (and artist) Sally Sheeks in the painting of the box’s exterior. You won’t want to miss this one. In the forested areas behind the field, some exploration will unearth two other new installations. Kimberly Edgar’s memories of wandering in the forest and bird watching with her grandmother inspired her work - Bird Memories. Riffing on the ubiquitous urban activity of postering, Edgar’s clusters of ephemeral paper prints of birds pasted onto various objects at Fieldwork suggest both the modern ‘message boards’ on city poles and the transient and seasonal presence of birds in our midst. An old sand pit is one of the topographical ‘features’ at Fieldwork. The significant disruption to the land and its inhabitants that resulted from the extraction of sand decades ago is now less apparent and receding into memory after years of ‘renaturalizing’. In a similar way, Annette Hegel’s Two Guiding Principles, located at the front of the pit plays with
(in)visibility and scale to question the seen and unseen consequences of resource exploitation on ecosystems and human settlement. The installation of Reinhard Reitzenstein and Gayle Young’s work, Castorimba Suspended has been postponed until later in the summer due to unforeseen circumstances. With a return visit to Fieldwork you’ll be able to make experimental music with their suspended marimba-meets-beaver-inspired ‘instrument’ that will be hanging from the trees near the pond. A special feature this year is the installation of bird boxes created by the students at Brooke Valley School. Using nesting boxes - made in the wood shop at Algonquin College by St John’s High School students - that were donated to Fieldwork, the children at BVS combined science and art projects by researching a specific bird and artfully ‘retrofitting’ the boxes to suit their birds. The BVS students will be using the opening at Fieldwork as an occasion to speak to visitors about their birds and boxes. Fieldwork is open year round and is a great place to visit anytime with friends, family, or simply on one’s own for a peaceful, self-guided experience of art in nature. Please remember that nature also includes bugs. Dress appropriately for exposure to sun and insects (i.e. covered up). Fieldwork is an outdoor space located just west of Perth that is dedicated to connecting nature, people and creativity. The site hosts a diverse collection of site-responsive art installations and is open to the public year round. It has been supported by the Ontario Arts Council since inception (2008). Keep your eyes open for news about a new initiative happening Aug. 23 - Framework: Words on the Land – 10 writers in conversation about a weekend spent writing in situ at Fieldwork. The group is working with the Ottawa Writers Festival/Perth Chapter on this.

Emerging drought conditions in Rideau Valley Fields may be dry enough for farmers to get on their land relatively early but that lack of moisture may have repercussions in the weeks to come. To the end of April, the three-month precipitation totals recorded at climate monitoring stations in and around the Rideau River watershed were in the order of 65 per cent of normal. Rainfall in July and August, 2014, were above normal. However, monthly precipitation totals started to decline in September with drought conditions (80 per cent of normal precipitation) beginning in mid-November and persisting to the present. Stream flows are still on the decline following the third lowest spring freshet flow since 1964 and are now below normal at all recording stations throughout the watershed. Target water levels in the Rideau Canal reservoir lakes have been reached but to achieve the targets for Bobs Lake, outflows had to be reduced causing particularly low flows in the Tay River. This may have an impact on the
success of fish spawning. The RVCA encourages everybody to always use water wisely and apply water conservation measures, particularly during this period of low precipitation. Authority staff will continue to monitor conditions and report new information as it becomes available.

All funds raised will go to the Ottawa Ronald McDonald House, and the two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms® located at CHEO as well as the Great War Memorial site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital.
There is a new documentary about Perth soon to hit the big screen. “The Story of Perth, Part One” will be featured at the Full Circle Theatre on June 5 and 6. Because Perth has such a rich and fascinating history, the film is split into a two-part series composed of two feature-length 90-minute films. Part One tells the fascinating and compelling story of the historic town of Perth from its founding in 1816 up until the dawn of the modern era at the end of the Second World War. The first film features over 100 historic photos, gorgeous high definition footage of modern day Perth, and on-camera interviews with several local historians and many other long time residents, including several genuine “Perthites”, all of whom have wonderful first hand stories, memories and knowledge about the people, places and events that make up the heritage and history of Perth. Part One will premiere in the Full Circle Theatre at 26 Craig St. in Perth at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 5, 2015. There will be additional showings at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 6.

Perth author, James Bartleman, pens new novel hands, Cadotte has to choose sides when they all seem dirty, and put everything on the line in a crisis that puts all that he stands for to the test. Bartleman is the former lieutenant governor of Ontario and the bestselling author of the novels As Long as the Rivers Flow and The Redemption of Oscar Wolf. A member of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, he is also a retired ambassador and a member of the Order of Canada. He lives in Perth. Praise for Exceptional Circumstances “James Bartleman’s gripping novel takes us back over 40 years; but in doing so he brings us face to face with crucial
current debates about torture, national security, citizenship, and standing firm for human rights.” —Alex Neve, Secretary General, Amnesty International Canada “Exceptional Circumstances is a thoughtful and modern presentation of the idea that political leaders can do illegal things based on necessity. It is a pernicious concept that Bartleman skillfully weaves through the politics of Colombia and Cuba and ends with its unvarnished and unnecessary use in Ottawa during the FLQ crisis in late 1970. Luc Cadotte, a young Métis from Georgian Bay, the main character, joins Foreign Affairs
and is seduced into the shadowy world of global “exceptional circumstances” but a strong sense of home and family comes to the rescue. It is a must-read for all who are disturbed by the willingness of democratically elected government to unfavourably alter the balance between the rulers and their citizens. More than two thumbs up.” —Gar Pardy, former Ambassador and Director General of Consular Affairs, Foreign Affairs Canada This book is also available as an ebook: EPUB: 9781459729124 Price: $9.99 PDF: 9781459729117 Price: $17.99. This book was available April 25.
James Bartleman has a new novel and it’s available in Perth and area, as well as online.

The novel, Exceptional Circumstances, by James Bartleman is on the local book shelves. Set in the autumn, 1970 as hostagetaking separatists in Quebec abduct a foreign diplomat and a cabinet minister and threaten violence across the country. As fear sets in, the government turns to Luc Cadotte, a specialist on international terrorism and veteran of the clandestine struggles in Latin America. From the jungles of Colombia to Montreal under siege, former diplomat James Bartleman plots a turbulent thriller based on events he witnessed firsthand. Swerving between fanatical ideologues and crass careerists with bloody

Two bronze medals for UCDSB contingent at 2015 Ontario Technological Skills competition minded competitors and helped him gain experience working under the pressure of a tight deadline to provide a quality product. “You have a lot of tasks once you come up with an idea and you can only do so much in the time you have. It helps you realize what you can and can’t do.” Evangelho and Van Noppen were tasked with producing a promotional video for the skills competition. They devised a 60-second video that saw a man walking around and touching things such as a metal railing before switching to video of the welding competition, or a piece of wood before switching to images of the carpentry event. Walker won in small engine repair for successfully diagnosing problems in lawnmower engines as well as a steel Weed Eater. The competition required him to disassemble the engines and find
problems with parts such as push rods and spark plugs. “It feels pretty good and I’m really happy, even though I didn’t make it to the nationals,” said Walker. “I found it really helped me by making things more challenging. It pushed me to a higher level of thinking.” A total of 23 students from the board qualified for the provincial skills competition this year, said Alex MacDougall, UCDSB Ontario youth apprenticeship program facilitator. More than 1,900 elementary, secondary and post-secondary students from across Ontario travelled to RIM Park May 4-6 to put their skills to the test at the 25th annual competition. The event featured more than 65 on-site contests, including several mechanical trades, and attracted more than 20,000 spectators. PDCI students Daniel Van Noppen, left, and Leo Evangelho won bronze Submitted by Mark Calder, UCDSB in the TV video event.

While winning bronze means that none of the three students will qualify for the nationals, Van Noppen said attending and placing at the skills competition was a great experience. “It feels really good,” he said on behalf of his team. “I was kind of surprised because there were so many good videos there.” He added the competition also gave him a chance to see the work of like-

World runner visits Christian school prior to Franktown running event Joe Rios of Ottawa visited Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) recently to motivate the students for the Where’s Franktown? race that happened last Saturday. Over the past four years Rios went from someone who would drive his car to go anywhere even 500 m away, to a runner, who as of June 22, has run a marathon on all seven continents. It all started in 2010 when a friend of his invited him to run during a lunch break, where it took him an hour to run 5 km. He explained how he “didn’t like it one bit,” but his friend still convinced him to start training for his first half marathon. During his first half marathon, he met many people who were a part of Team Diabetes which really started his running career. After meeting them he decided to run three marathons in 12 months with Team Diabetes. With his new found love of running he decided to take it to the next level and compete internationally wanting to race in all seven continents, beginning in Iceland. He will be successfully completing this goal in South Africa at the “Big 5 Marathon” in June. “I really think it’s about believing and setting goals that are really beyond your comfort zone, and almost seem impossible. I think that’s enough to keep you motivated,” explained Rios. When asked what has been his favourite race so far, Rios said, “Running a marathon on the Great Wall was probably the most phenomenal one I’ve done. It’s an ancient piece of history, of like more that 5,000 years old, and it’s not meant to be run on. They made a marathon of it, and it’s 5,164 steps and 30 km of hills so, it’s pretty challenging, but it’s so rewarding. The amount of energy that you get from all the other people running it, and coming together was phenomenal, like it was all about support. That race was not about time, it’s about helping your companions up the wall.” He used this example to demonstrate to the students that if they see someone in the Where’s Franktown race who is struggling to encourage them. Even if it’s a high five, or saying to someone “you got this.” “I can see more kids sticking around and high fiving people and encouraging people, and cheer-

ing people on,” principle Tom Bourne said when asked how he thought the presentation would help the students in the race. Although Rios was nervous about speaking to a school for the first time, all the students were drawn in by his accomplishments. Generally after his presentation he is asked a few questions, while at the school, students of all ages asked informative questions for over 10 minutes. Many of the students had questions of his run in Antarctica as he ran next to penguins. The most surprising question came from a young student who asked how he kept hydrated. “I thought they loved it,” Bourne said when asked if he thought the students enjoyed the presentation. “His running mixed with adventure and world experience too, he wasn’t just here talking about strictly running, he was talking about world experience and travel and also just a good cause. Things that resonate with many of our students.” Kayleen Preston/METROLAND Every race Rios has competed in, he has raised Staff and students of Calvary Christian Academy pose for a photo with Joe Rios after his funds for a charity. Previously he has raised money energetic and motivational presentation about raising money by running marathons for Team Diabetes, kids’ cancer, and sending kids to Nicaragua for education. This time when he goes around the world. it will go toward Don’t You Dare Quit (DYDQ). “What happened is that on every birthday on social media, what I do, for every greeting I get, I give a dollar to a charity. So the charity I chose [this year] was DYDQ, and what I did was I then did a hashtag sign and Rachael Bell didn’t know what I was doing so I just kind of did it, and that’s what kind of started the whole collaboration between us.” From his birthday alone he donated $250 to DYDQ, but hopes to raise another $5,000 with his race in South Africa. To help raise these funds, they will be hosting a gala at the East Meets West restaurant in Perth May 30 for about 50 people. If you would like to be a part of this, tickets are still available at https:// www.eventjoy.com/e/DYDQ. They will also be hosting a 5 km virtual run, which they are calling a Cheetah Chase. After registering online, anytime in the month of May runners can take a selfie with a sign, and post it to social media with #DYDQ and #Run4AC.

The fourth annual Trivia Night at Drummond Central School, was a huge success once again. Amy and Nicole wish to extend thanks to school council for giving them the opportunity to co-chair the event as part of their Chief Scout Award. The girls are hoping to receive their awards in June and one of the requirements for the award is the completion of 30 hours of leadership within the community. A portion of the hours they contributed to Trivia night will be combined with other leadership activities and be used to satisfy this requirement. Big, big thank you for all who came to play – eight teams – 60 players – best turn out yet, providing lively discussion and great laughs. The event raised over $1,900 which is more than a 50 per cent increase over last year, with the monies going to the arts programming for the 2015-2016 school year. A big thank you to the business community, to the individuals that also contributed - raffle items, items for the canteen, one individual even sponsored a round to the youth and adults that volunteered that night. Amy and Nicole had a positive experience in organizing the event and want to thank everyone who contributed both in support of the Arts program at DCS and to support them in their quest to achieve their Chief Scout Award.

OBITUARY
February 3, 1947May 1, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce Treavor’s passing after losing a very determined battle with lung cancer. Survived by his devoted mother Winnifred, his wife of 48 yrs Marion (Andrews), daughter Lynne (Michael), son Jeff and 6 grandchildren, Jessica (Milad), Trevor Jr, Katherine, Aiden, Hannah and Grace and soon to arrive great-grandson. Predeceased by his father, Frank, his brother, Carl Robert and sister, Bernice. Treavor also leaves behind an amazing large supportive family all living in Ontario in close proximity to the family farm, including brothers, Ron (Nadine), Bev, Roger (Martha), Mark (Cathy) and sisters Heather (Barry), Nancy (Tom), Debbie (Brad), and Michelle and sister-in-law Vicki. Trev was born in Brockville, Ontario and grew up on a farm in South Mountain. As the eldest of 11 siblings, it was here that he honed his strong work ethic that was very much evident throughout his life. He was literally a “jack of all trades”, with all the tools and huge workshop to go along with that title. He just loved to hear someone ask “and how does that work?” or better yet “how can that be fixed?”. He truly took selfsufficiency to a new level. A man with many interests that included golf, restoring his 1957 Plymouth Savoy car and performing with the Burke Mountain Bluegrass Band. He had an ongoing passion for camping, fishing and hunting. Some of his greatest times were spent with his growing family teaching his children and grand-children how to not only survive but thrive in the great outdoors. His annual “guys” fishing and hunting trips took many meetings and months of prep work followed up by a yearlong recounting of the events! No words can express the gratitude to the team, especially Bryon, at the Monitored Care Unit at Eagle Ridge Hospital for honoring Treavor’s wishes and giving all of us at his bedside the strength and guidance to help him through his final moments passing over into God’s hands. And last but by no means least, a big thank you to Maggie, Trevs’ ever so loyal 4 legged companion, for the countless hours spent by his side, never missing a car/truck ride or bluegrass session and waiting quietly by his bedside for him to wake. Treavor was a very proud and honorable man. Definitely a force to be reckoned with and he mostly made and followed his own path. He will be definitely missed. Cremation has taken place and in lieu of flowers, donations in Treavor’s name to JDRF Canada would be appreciated in the hopes of making a positive difference in the lives of his son Jeff, grand-daughter Grace Georgia, grand-nephew Gavin and all those affected by Type 1 diabetes. A Memorial service will be held in the church he helped build, amongst his church family at Victory Baptist Church, 2191 Prairie Ave, Port Coquitlam, BC Saturday, May 16th at 2 pm followed by a reception downstairs in a newly created Treavor inspired hall.

Rideau Roundtable moves forward with strategic plan Ashley Kulp
akulp@perfprint.ca
For more than a decade, the Rideau Roundtable has made it their mission to help raise awareness of the Rideau Canal through experiences on the waterway. The group, an incorporated, not-forprofit community organization, held its annual general meeting (AGM) April 27 at the Kinsmen Pavilion in Lower Reach Park in Smiths Falls. Along with guest speaker Anne Marie Forcier, executive director of the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association, members also provided updates on the many projects and initiatives planned over the next year. Included in that is the development of a strategic plan, of which Rideau Roundtable member Manuel Stevens gave an overview. Stevens said the need for the plan was to “focus attention on communicating our primary mission, which is sustainability.” “That’s what we’re all about and we felt we needed a strategic plan to properly identify the audience we have and communicate our goals and priorities…” he stated. The plan embodies the four pillars of sustainability identified by the Rideau Roundtable: economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, cultural vitality and social equality. “Rather than preaching our concept, we wanted to converse with everyone along the Rideau waterway to engage them and determine what it (canal) means to them,” Stevens remarked. Currently, the plan is in draft status, but the Roundtable has identified their
key audiences, which includes media, service clubs and organizations, as well as grant programs and corporations and donors. Like-minded groups, landowners and community associations round out the list. The plan also has a strong focus on education and reaching out to businesses along the waterway. “We have to increase our profile as champions of sustainability through major outreach programs with our audiences along the canal,” Stevens explained. “…We have to become better known along the waterway in order to do our job properly.” Before the draft is finalized, the Rideau Roundtable will consult with local conservation authorities and organizations for their input and support over the next few months. “We hope to have the document in place by the fall or perhaps a bit earlier,” he stated. “…It’s a big task for a small organization.” Speaker series, canoe experience The Rideau Roundtable has seen success through several projects and have become known for their speaker series and Voyageur canoe tours. The former, the inaugural series has focused on sustainability along the Rideau corridor with five presentations being held over the past seven months. Rideau Roundtable president Peter Au said the theme of sustainability wasn’t chosen by accident. “The theme is really a sense of place and it has legs because Smiths Falls has embraced it. We have a strong group here,” he said. According to Don Gibson, who coordinates the venture along with Cam
Peter Au, president of the Rideau Roundtable, speaks to those gathered for the organization’s annual general meeting April 27 at the Kinsmen Pavilion in Lower Reach Park in Smiths Falls. Au announced plans for a two-day canoe experience along the Rideau Canal this August. Ashley Kulp/ METROLAND
O’Neill, the most recent talk took place on March 30 in Ottawa and centered around an open dialogue on flooding. “We had 35 people out for that and had speakers from the RVCA (Rideau Valley Conservation Authority), MVCA (Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority) as well as the City of Ottawa,” he explained, adding that a good relationship has been forged between the group and the city. “We really worked very closely with the City of Ottawa on
that last event and built a really great partnership with them.” Other talks have featured geologist Al Donaldson as well as Colin Maxwell, former president of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. “For the first year, I think it was successful,” Gibson commented. “We’d like to continue working on it.” The series is designed to raise awareness of the Rideau Roundtable and Gibson said it’s slowly doing just that.
“Attendance has been steady (at the series) and we’re building it up,” he noted. “…It’s a vehicle to increase membership and we’ve had mixed success with that. It’s something we really have to focus on for the next year of the speaker series.” Coming this August, Au and a committee are also working on building a visitor experience opportunity, Locks, Rocks & Water. Running from Aug. 10 to 13, this initiative is being billed as an intergenerational exploration of the Rideau River, facilitated by Canadian canoeing icon, Max Finklestein, and other guest interpreters. Au said it’s a learning adventure for grandparents and their grandchildren or parents and their children to share. “It’s going to be really close and personal, with an emphasis on sharing and learning,” he explained. “…We will be Voyageur canoe paddling and hiking in one of the most beautiful areas with a view of the Rideau.” The first day will see participants canoe from Jones Falls to Rock Dunder and day two from Jones Falls to Davis Lock. The Rideau Roundtable will also be participating in the annual Rideau Paddlefest in Smiths Falls Aug. 8 and 9, which will coincide with their Voyageur canoe races over those two days, in Lower Reach Park. There is a five-week practice program: July 8, 15, 22, 29 and Aug. 5 for those interested in participating in the canoe races.

Soggy bottom blues cause wiring headache in reader’s vehicle Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
or vandalism event). It’s unlikely that Volvo will want to set a precedent by paying for a failure (and the consequential wiring damage) on a part that was only covered by the vehicle’s base warranty, which has long since expired. As well they would argue that if the moisture problem was rectified in a timely manner it is highly likely that the wiring would not now require extensive repair. Interestingly enough when I Googled Volvo water leaks one of the first listings was a video from a Volvo dealer in the U.S. explaining how to check and clean sunroof drains
(probably because it’s not covered in the owner’s manual – but then again, no carmaker I know of has such listing in their owner’s handbooks). The repair shop that did the work might have recommended checking the wiring under the carpeting, but as the car didn’t exhibit any faults at the time of repair, they might be excused for not bringing it up (and by that time the damage may have already been done). It seems obvious to me that you were unaware that there was vulnerable wiring under the floor carpet or even that the musty odour was caused by a water leak. There may be an alternative to replacing the entire harness. A qualified tech may and I stress may be able to cut out and splice in individual wires to replace the damaged portions only. However if any connectors are damaged, they may not be available as a separate part from the wiring harness assembly. This is a labour intensive job but may save you the money of
buying a complete harness. While not all of us drive sunroof equipped vehicles, it’s important to note that these roof windows have drains to let water safely escape and they should be checked every spring and fall. There are several good YouTube how-to videos on the topic. Whether or not your vehicle has a sunroof, it is extremely likely that it has electrical wiring under the floor carpet. If any area of the carpet is soaked it must be dried out to avoid risking an electrical problem. Surface water is relatively easy to get rid of with a shop vacuum and some absorbent towels, but if the under-padding is wet you will need to air dry it. A few bricks or short sections of 2X4 lumber can be used to lift the carpet and under-pad off the floor. You can access the carpet from the edges by removing the plastic scuff plates at the door openings. Then carefully insert the bricks or wood blocks under the carpet to let air cir-

“Hello, I own a 2009 Volvo C30. There had always been a bit of an odour with the car and I tried cleaning cabin filters but it never seemed to do much good. Last November I noticed that the carpet behind the driver’s seat was soaking wet, which was a surprise. I looked online and found that a possible reason could be that the sunroof drains get blocked causing the water to overflow into the vehicle. I contacted Volvo Canada in early December and was told that there was no known issue or recall for this problem and that it was my responsibility to repair the sunroof drains. I didn’t agree with the decision but I proceeded to have the repairs done by my private garage. They replaced the hoses in the sunroof drain using Volvo parts. The tech said that the original hose was completely ineffective because the many joints had either come apart or were disintegrated. The water problem seemed to have stopped. Last month while driving the car I had all electrical components (signal lights, speedometer, fan, etc.) completely shut down. The only thing working was the engine. The electrical components would come back on for a few seconds and then completely shut down again for a few minutes. I contacted Volvo Canada about the electrical issue and was told to take the car to a Volvo dealer so the problem could be diagnosed. My local dealership found that there was still water under the carpets and that the wiring under the carpets had corroded. They estimate that the repair will cost $3,500-$6,000 to replace the “floor harness, front to back.” They also think that water may still be infiltrating through the “sunroof cassette.” It is obvious to me now that the long-time odour problem was mould in the carpet. The water damage to the electrical system took place over a long period of time prior to and after the repair to the sunroof drain hoses. I filed a claim with my auto insurance company for the electrical damage. They advised me that they will not pay for my claim because they have determined that the problem was caused by “a known common manufacturer defect.” I have advised Volvo Canada of the determination by the insurance company and have asked them to assume responsibility for the repair. Are you able to provide me with any suggestions or advice going forward in this matter?” Thank you. This is quite the tale and while I sympathize, I’m afraid I’ll have to be the bearer of bad news. First your insurance company is correct to deny coverage. The sunroof drains in question would have to have been damaged by some outside force to be covered under a standard automobile liability insurance plan (e.g. chewed by a rodent or severed in a collision

culate and do the drying. This may take several days or nights (parked in a dry covered location with the windows open) and if the blocks are under the driver’s feet, then of course the vehicle can’t be driven safely. You can accelerate the process with absorbent towels, but you will need to be careful not to damage any wiring that may be in the way.

Spare bedrooms needed for visiting actors to Classic Theatre Festival Anyone with a spare bedroom is in for a treat this summer should they decide to host one of the visiting professional actors with the Classic Theatre Festival. This summer marks its sixth season, with a new version of its historic, theatrical guided walking tour (a “Nancy Drew meets Film Noir” theme), the brand new Friday night Lonely Ghosts Walk, and two hits from the golden age of Broadway (Neil Simon’s comedy Barefoot in the Park and Frederick Knott’s nailbiting thriller, Wait Until Dark) at its venue at 54 Beckwith Street East. Currently, the festival has actors who will be arriving in Perth for two separate six-week periods, June 21 to Aug. 3 and July 21 to Aug. 30. The Festival is hoping individuals or families with spare bedrooms and access to a kitchen and washroom are able to host one of the performers (all of whom pay for their own food). In return, host individuals and families receive free passes to the festival all summer long as well as exclusive invites to special festival social events. If billets are only available for a three-week term, that could work too. In addition, a number of designers will require shorter, 10-day stays in July and August. For Perth resident Helen Gamble, 2015 marks the sixth consecutive year she has hosted a performer.
Submitted photo
Catherine Bruce, who appeared in the first two seasons of the Classic Theatre Festival, is one of the professional performers needing a billet this summer. TV viewers may be familiar with her frequent nationally broadcast commercials for RBC and muscle relaxants, among others.
“I’ve billeted at least one actress each year of the Classic Theatre Festival in Perth,” Gamble says. “At first I wondered how it would work out and whether my guest room was adequate. It’s been a wonderful experience. I meet interesting, artistic people who are passionate about what they do. They are gone most of the day into the evening, busy with their work schedules. It’s fun to have someone coming and going, a bit of company, but someone I don’t have to entertain.” Gamble has gotten used to living with actors she sees turning into completely different people when they assume their characters on the Classic Theatre Festival stage. She, among other billet hosts, has also struck up close friendships with those she has hosted, and they often stay in touch via Facebook, email, and reunion visits. And it’s always a nice surprise to turn on the TV or see a film in which one of the people who stayed with her has gotten a role. “All they need beyond their room is a shelf in the fridge and one in a cupboard,” Gamble says. “They feed themselves, tidy and clean after themselves, and respect my house and routine. My friendly dog seems to be a bonus and often they practice their lines with him as their foil. “Billeting costs me very little – re-
ally, just a bit of hot water for showers and a spare key – but I meet and interact with intelligent, outgoing people and am invited to casual get-togethers of cast, crew, other billeters, and volunteers. I’m gifted with tickets to the plays which are more interesting than ever, because I know at least one cast member. I’m glad I decided to billet that first year and look forward to meeting this year’s actress and becoming involved once again.” Scott Clarkson, a veteran festival performer returning for his fifth consecutive season, says “I had never been billeted for a show before my first time in Perth and wasn’t sure what to expect,” Clarkson says. “The family I stay with is always so welcoming and cheerful that it makes a six-week stay away from home so much easier. This summer will be my fifth with them - and as much as I love Perth and the Classic Theatre Festival, this family’s hospitality is an equally large part of why I am so happy to keep coming back! I am so grateful to see such generosity to the arts.” Even if hosts cannot provide a space for the complete six weeks, some performers may require only two or three-week stints. Individuals interested in hosting an actor should call 613-264-8088 or email info@ classictheatre.ca. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival.

All the pieces in place but Reese Witherspoon comedy falls flat MOVIE: Hot Pursuit STARRING: Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara DIRECTOR: Anne Fletcher RATING: PG I think I called this one last week. I was looking forward to Hot Pursuit. I thought there was potential for this film to be hysterically funny, but in the end I should have seen The Avengers again. Officer Cooper (Reese Witherspoon) has been sitting on the bench ever since she accidentally tazered the mayor’s son. She gets a chance to redeem herself when she’s asked to help escort two federal witnesses. Daniella Riva (Sofia Vergara) and her husband Felippe (Vincent Laresca) are testifying against a major drug lord. Provided they aren’t killed first. As Cooper is helping Daniella pack her shoes gunshots ring out
from downstairs. Two different groups have come looking for the Rivas. Cooper’s partner and Mr. Riva are killed, but Cooper manages to get Daniella out. Fleeing for their lives Cooper and Daniela get to a phone. Cooper calls it in then sits and waits for the cavalry to arrive. Just when they think their day can’t get any worse the cavalry turns out to be a pair of dirty cops working for the drug lord. So now the obsessive by-thebook cop and the trophy wife of a money launderer have to work together or end up dead. Hot Pursuit just shows how hard it is to make a good comedy. It has the big name stars. It has the big name director. Neither helps. It tries to do every single thing it can to make you laugh. It tries physical humour, it tries witty insults, it tries comedic girl fight, it tries innu-
actors. Together they have no chemistry at all. They are trying too hard, and in order for a comedy to be funny it has to seem effortless. For them it seems like one of Hercules’ twelve tasks. The film does have its visual appeal, but unfortunately there Mark haskins simply isn’t enough of that.
My Take
endo, it tries bizarre plot twists. None of it helps. It throws everything at you including the comedy kitchen sink and none of it works. This film just isn’t funny. Comedy is hard. That’s the lesson here. On the surface the plot has the outrageousness you look for in a comedy. As it plays out however it proves to be a generic and boring buddy-buddy comedy. This largely falls on the two main stars. Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara on their own are talented and funny

In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

What’s worse is that the film tries to switch gears. It attempts to move from the ridiculous comedy into something serious, and a bad film becomes even worse. It loses anything that is even remotely humorous, and becomes utterly unbelievable. You won’t come out of Hot
Pursuit wishing for something unpleasant to happen to its cast and director, but you will be seriously disappointed. It is a boring and unfunny film, with a duo who would have been better working with anyone else. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

1974 Triumph TR6 never driven in winter A letter arrived from Don Osadec of St. Catharines, Ontario: “Hi Bill. I have owned a few classic British sports cars much of my adult life. I am now 76 and my first car was a 1955 MG-TF which I restored to showroom condition. Next, a few years later, I bought a 1968 TR4AIRS which needed extensive work. “My present car is a 1974 TR6. This car did not need any extensive restoration, only a little cosmetic attention to clean it up. The body, paint, and chrome are original and in very good condition. Only the top, interior, and clutch have been replaced. “The car originally came from Seattle, Washington, went to Calgary, Alberta, then to Brampton, Ontario, where I found it in 2004. It has never been driven on sand, salt, or snow its whole life, and I have been caught in the rain only twice in ten years. The engine is a 2498 c.c., 152 cubic inch straight 6 with dual Weber side draft carburetors, dual Monza free-flow exhaust system, 4-speed transmission and independent rear suspension. “My wife and I belong to the Niagara British Car Club, where you can see many classic British cars of all years and types. In the car’s present condition, it has been appraised at $18,500. Only 194,000 of the TR6 models have been built from 1969 to 1976.” The “TR” label is short for “Triumph”, a nameplate that goes back to
1923 in the British automotive industry. The company had been making motorcycles since 1903 but decided twenty years later to jump into the booming automobile field. The first of the “T” series began with the Triumph TR2 in 1953, followed soon by the TR3. All these early ones had “cut down” doors, a very distinctive styling feature. The cut-down design ended with the arrival of the TR4 in 1961, followed by the TR5 in 1967 and the TR6 in 1968, which in turn was replaced after 1976 by the TR7. The TR6 owned by Don Osadec has disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear. The ones built for export to North America used carburetion whereas the ones built for the U.K. and other markets were fuel-injected. These models, according to Autocar magazine, could go from 0-60 in 8.2 seconds and with a top speed of 120 mph. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.” Don Osadec’s 1974 TR6. Note “DONS DRM” licence plate for Don’s Dream car.
