Afghanistan relay marches through Perth By TERRY O’HEARN

SPORTS
News – A team of 19 members of the ‘Soldier On Afghanistan Relay’ marched and wheeled and ran their way along County Road 10 (Scotch Line) into Perth this past Tuesday, to a rousing welcome from Perth and area supporters. The 2 CMBG Pipes and Drums from CFB Petawawa led the parade by the time it turned north onto Gore Street, and the scattering of supporters along the way rapidly turned into a dense crowd as the relay team reached downtown Perth. Inside a specially designed baton, the last Canadian flag flown in Afghanistan, a symbol of the end of that mission, completed another leg of the journey to Ottawa when it arrived at the Crystal Palace in the hands of Bushra Saeed-Kyan, a Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development worker. Saeed-Kyan was travelling in a vehicle which was destroyed by a roadside bomb on Dec. 30, 2009. Journalist Michelle Lang and four others were killed. The long trek began at 8 Wing, Canadian Forces Base Trenton on May 4, and the flag was to be turned over to Governor General

Arlene Dickinson will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series presented by Metroland Media Group June 9 at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata. Mews family “to see what an impact a group of entrepreneurs have on the city we live in.” Dickinson, who is the CEO of the marketing firm Venture Communications with a staff of 75 in Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa, said she’s looking forward to meeting entrepreneurs in Ontario’s communities and speaking about how life and business are intertwined when you’re an entrepreneur. The 57-year-old, who travels back and forth between her Calgary and Toronto homes, said the notion of balance, is something of a fallacy. “Balance is very personal. It’s not about 50/50 and equal weight on personal and professional, it’s about doing what makes you happy,” she said, noting that being an entrepreneur is a lifestyle choice, not a career choice. “I’d say that happiness is a function of being able to live and be who you are.” Passion for entrepreneurism Dickinson found her calling and developed a passion for entrepreneurism at the age of 31 after getting married at 19 and raising four children. Through hard work and perseverance, the author of Persuasion and All In, said she’s been able to overcome numerous challenges that have helped shape her as a

Resiliency is key “Self-doubt can play a huge role in your ability to succeed, so if you believe in something you have to stick to it. You have to be resilient,” said Dickinson, noting that to be successful as an entrepreneur you also have to navigate the roadblocks along the way and accept that you’ll face a lot of rejection.

LAWS hires consultant to create fundraising, marketing plan akulp@perfprint.ca
News – The Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is taking steps towards securing its long-term future with the recent hiring of a consultant to aid their fundraising and marketing efforts. Earlier this year, the organization’s board of directors hired Lisa Strangway, owner of The Marketing Station in Carleton Place, on a one-year contract to craft a strategic fundraising and marketing plan. And late last month, the plan was presented to the board and received full approval. LAWS is a no-kill animal shelter located on Glenview Road just outside of Smiths Falls. “I’ve started implementing the plan, beginning with a new logo,� Strangway said. “I have a new marketing tagline ready to
go as soon as voting is done.� According to Strangway, her objective was to “analyze what was done in the past as far as fundraising and marketing goes.� “Where has the money come from, how has the organization connected with people who have donated in the past and what are the different ways to bring in money?� she said. It’s an exciting time for LAWS, as well as Strangway, who made the decision to leave a 14-year career as director of marketing with the Ottawa Senators and start her own marketing business. She always has a long history of volunteering in Carleton Place, running the Carleton Place Social Scene website and she is also the former chair of the Carleton Place Winter Carnival. “Starting my own business has been my dream, so right now I’m
living the dream,� she said. She’s happy to be working with a dedicated team at LAWS. “We’re headed in the right direction. They have a board of directors that are so passionate, so hard working. They are all people who have full-time jobs and work tirelessly with LAWS. It’s inspiring,� Strangway commented. “These people all care and all have a certain expertise that they bring to the table. It’s a good mix.� She said it’s important that she has the full support of the board throughout the process. “They (board) understand the importance of this and they all want what’s best for the shelter in the long run. And what’s best is to have enough money to operate and to have a good reputation in the communities they serve,� she added. LAWS board president Kathy
Hoyland is also thrilled to have Strangway on board. “We at LAWS are extremely excited to have Lisa on our team. Her experience in the marketing and fundraising world is invaluable and as LAWS depends very highly on donations to run the operations, promoting the shelter and getting our story out there is how we are going to survive and thrive,� she remarked. “Lisa’s enthusiasm is infectious and I see her doing great things to help LAWS.� Those first few months of her contract, Strangway pored over past practices. While a large portion of funds are generated through adoptions, Strangway was focused strictly on the fundraising aspect, which includes individual giving, events, estates and wills, as well as sponsorship.
She relished the opportunity as LAWS didn’t have a clear-cut strategy for its marketing and fundraising in place before. It was a blank slate. “There will be a clear vision to get processes in place so there are measurements and so we can track progress,â€? she said. “I’ve analyzed every single fundraising event they’ve done in the past or that we’ve contributed to in terms of resources. If it does not produce a return on investment, then we’re not going to do it. We can’t keep wasting time and resources on things that do not generate growth.â€? â€œâ€ŚThere’s been a lot of focus on events but now we need to focus on a stewardship program for donors including software to keep track of donors. We don’t
even have that,� Strangway continued. She gained a lot of valuable wisdom from a fundraising workshop at the Ottawa Humane Society where those professionals went over best practices and industry standards. One of the backbones of the plan is to build relationships with existing donors. “Up to this point, there’s been zero communication with them (donors) and it takes twice as much time and effort to find a new donor than retain one,� Strangway explained, adding that a strategy to keep and engage new volunteers is also part of the plan, as well as helping people facilitate third party fundraising See LAWS page 5

events. “…We need to establish trust with our communities and communicate with them. People who donate should be thanked. It’s a very simple concept,” she said. Crucial marketing Fundraising is vital, but so is having a dedicated marketing plan, said Strangway. That includes fresh branding and a new logo, which is currently in the implementation stage. “The marketing part of this job is going to be crucial,” she admitted. “The number one objective is to tell the story. We need to tell LAWS’ story. There are a lot of people out there that don’t really understand what LAWS does…by telling that story it allows me to then figure out how branding should look. The branding has to match the messaging of that story.” The organization will undergo a complete rebranding under Strangway’s plan with the goal of having a consistent look. “It’s a complete overhaul. Every single thing
from the website, promotional materials, letterhead and the logo is going to be changed,” she said. This is the part of the job Strangway excels at – studying and researching what’s been done before and coming out with a solution that works for the future of LAWS. She takes her role very seriously. “A branding is so much more than throwing together a dog and a cat and a big heart. It has to represent everything that LAWS is about, so we have to get it right,” she said. She has already approached the board with some new marketing taglines which will start to roll out once board members vote on their favourite. Next up for LAWS is the annual Walk for LAWS at Carleton Place’s Lambs Down Park Festival June 21 and this past Monday, May 12, Strangway launched a campaign selling T-shirts with net proceeds going to the shelter. “Over this year, it’s a great length of time to affect some change,” Strangway noted.

CDSBEO secondary schools participate in province-wide mass supported by Pope Francis News – Secondary schools in the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) took part in the historic province-wide mass held May 7 across Ontario to mark Catholic Education Week. Last fall, student trustees on the provincial OSTA-AECO Catholic
Board Council passed a motion to request the support of the Holy Father for the historic province-wide mass. A letter was received by Catholic Board Council leaders, Madeline Ellepola (Windsor-Essex CDSB) and Michael Pallotto (York CDSB), from the Vatican Secretary of State. The
letter, which contained Pope Francis’ message and blessings for the province-wide mass and Catholic Education Week, was shared at each mass. Pope Francis responded through Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and Canadian Cardinal Thomas Collins.
“His Holiness Pope Francis sends warm greetings to you, your brother Bishops, the priests, staff and students as you celebrate the Eucharist simultaneously across the province during Catholic Education Week,” the letter reads, in part. “He assures you of his spiritual closeness in this
great act of praise and worship in God.” Each mass was celebrated by the school’s parish priest, save two schools, which were celebrated by the head of the local diocese. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

Lanark County construction projects get started for season News – Highlights of the 2014 Lanark County public works construction program include one bridge replacement and 54.3 kilometres of roads being either rehabilitated or treated as part of ongoing pavement preservation efforts, amounting to a total construction budget of $9.2 million. Public works director Terry McCann notes federal gas tax funding covers $1.64 million of the costs, and the county received $2 million from the provincial Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative fund towards the replacement of the Mississippi River bridge on County Road 511 north of Balderson. “The public works department oversees construction, operation, repair and maintenance of 561.4 km of roads and 82 bridge and culvert structures,� he said. “Every year the department assesses the entire road system and makes a priority list that forms part of five-year plans. Council approves the projects year by year.� Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) says the county is committed to maintaining high standards for roads and bridges. “Our budget allocations for 2014 demonstrate our ongoing efforts to have a strong network that supports quality of life, public safety and our economy. Our public works department goes to great lengths to maintain our
roads and bridges in a cost-effective way,� he said. Projects for 2014 include: County Road 8 (Herron Mills Road) and 19 (Bennett Lake Road) Crains’ Construction Ltd. has started this rehabilitation and surface treatment project on Herron Mills Road from County Road 511 for 1.5 km to Rodger Road.

Shelter your shelter Your home is your shelter and so much more: Not only is it very likely the largest purchase you will ever make, it’s the comforting and comfortable centre of family life and your family’s future -- and you need to protect it. The lender’s mortgage insurance is easy protection – a simple add-on to your mortgage – but lender’s insurance may not be the best way to shelter your shelter. The personal insurance option could be a better fit for you. 1. You own the policy and designate the beneficiary With mortgage insurance, the lender is the owner and beneficiary and is entitled to receive the full death benefit. There are no amounts that would be paid to your family. 2. Your coverage will not decrease Your personal insurance coverage remains level as your mortgage decreases. With mortgage insurance, you are covered only for the declining balance while continuing to pay the same, or perhaps higher, premiums.
Manage Your Money 3. Your personal insurance continues after the mortgage is paid With mortgage insurance, the coverage expires when the mortgage is paid off. 4. Only you can cancel or make changes Your premiums are guaranteed for the life of the plan and you can make changes as your needs change. On the other hand, the lender may change the premium or cancel a mortgage insurance policy at any time. 5. Your coverage stays with you if you move Personal insurance is portable but in most instances, you may not be able to transfer mortgage insurance to a new mortgage or new lender and need to re-qualify for new coverage. 6. Your coverage is confirmed when you apply Mortgage insurance may assess your eligibility only when you make a claim, leaving you unsure of your coverage. With
personal insurance, your medical history is reviewed before the policy is issued – you’re assured that coverage will be in place when you need it. Insurance is an important component of your overall financial plan and like your financial plan, the insurance you choose should be a perfect fit for your unique needs. Discuss your options with your professional advisor to ensure your plan provides the right protection for you and yours. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Reader urges newspaper to steer clear of electioneering DEAR EDITOR: Many articles in the EMC are submitted by the subject of the article. It is my understanding that the newspaper’s position is that, by adding a tagline at the end, stating who submitted the article, readers will be able to recognize any vested interest/bias that may be inherent. However, the “article” submitted by the office of MPP Randy Hillier in the May 8 edition (‘MPP Hillier welcomes loss of confidence in Liberal government’) is a particularly interesting case in point. It appeared during a period when the Elections Finances Act prohibits paid advertising. Yet of course electioneering is inherent in this submission, which is essentially an (unpaid) advertisement for Hillier. It con-
cludes with the bald assertion: “Hillier will continue to put the people of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington first and bring Ontario back on the road to recovery.” So he/his office didn’t (couldn’t) pay to place the “article”, but the EMC accommodated the incumbent’s electioneering. And I still find it odd that the article appeared under the banner “Regional News.” Call me old-fashioned, but I like to think that in newspapers, “news” is something reported by the paper itself.

COMMENTARY Be safe this long weekend Editorial – The Victoria Day weekend is traditionally a time for opening up the family cottage for the season and getting out and enjoying the milder weather. And that means more traffic on the roads. Included in that traffic are off-road vehicles and motorcycles. Due to the rising number of fatalities throughout the province, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are asking the public to be mindful when operating off-road vehicles (ORV) and motorcycles. According to a release from the OPP, 20 people died in ORV accidents in 2013, a spike from 12 in 2012. Alcohol and lack of helmet use remain large factors. OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair said that over the past 10 years, 263 people have died from ORV incidents. Choosing to combine alcohol and a lack of helmets when using an ORV makes little sense. Many of these senseless deaths could have been avoided if users would have strapped on a simple piece of equipment to protect them. Is such a poor decision worth the pain and suffering victims’ families go through? Motorcycle deaths are on the rise as well with 28 fatalities in 2013. Only 11 of that number were driving properly. Because motorcyclists have less protection on roadways, it’s important for all motorists to be aware of their surroundings and watch out for motorcycles. This week is Canada Road Safety Week (May 13 to 19). During this initiative, the OPP will be targeting the most dangerous driving behaviours, including failure to use seatbelts, distracted/aggressive driving, as well as alcohol and drug impairment. Enjoy the long weekend but stay alert and aware on the road.
Audrey was very fearful of not passing Entrance Class Lifestyle – Audrey prayed a lot. Of course, she was much older than I was, and I knew much smarter, and when she told me to get down on the braided rug by our bed to pray with her, I knew better than to ask why. Our family rarely varied from our bedtime routine. Once we had our necks washed, teeth brushed with baking soda, and nails cleaned, and had gotten into our pyjamas, we followed Mother upstairs and headed for the big braided rug under the window looking out towards the West Hill. As Mother settled into the rocking chair, we five children took our places on our knees around her, and whatever Mother prayed for we repeated verbatim. Once she had touched the tops of each head and we had said our amens in unison, we headed for our beds. But this time of year, when the end of the year was close at the Northcote School, my sister Audrey always had extra prayers to say, and of course, two praying at the same time, for the same thing, she convinced me had much more power than just one of us asking for a special blessing. The fact that the prayer had nothing
to do with me didn’t seem to matter. It was the number, Audrey said, that counted. And so, after the boys had gone to bed, Mother had gone back downstairs, and Audrey had blown out the lamp, she tapped me on the shoulder, and I knew without asking, we were in for another long and purposeful prayer on the braided rug by our bed. We had it drilled into us over many Sunday School classes, and long and purposeful prayers from our whale of a minister as he flailed his arms from the pulpit every Sunday at the Lutheran Church, that praying for material things was right up there with stealing chickens! I confess I often prayed for black patent shoes, and white stockings, and blonde curls like bad Marguirite, but I figured God would take into account my young age and forgive me. And of course, my prayers were silently said, so I was the only one who knew I had entered into this discretion, and I figured it was just between God and me. But once the school year was coming to a close, Audrey started in on these long prayers at night in the silence of our hall-bedroom upstairs.

“Make sure your eyes are closed,” she whispered...as if I didn’t know enough to close my eyes! And then she would start. The prayers themselves varied every night, but the plea was the same. Audrey prayed to pass out of the Entrance Class. There was never any doubt in my mind that she would pass with or without our special prayers, but Audrey wasn’t taking any chances. And so every night, right up until the day Miss Crosby handed out our report cards, Audrey and I got down on the rug by the bed and prayed that Audrey would pass out of the Northcote School. This of course, would go on for weeks, and by the time it was coming up to the last day of school, I was convinced God would be sick and tired of what Audrey and I were praying for.

Why Audrey was so scared of failing was beyond me. Of course, no one ever went back to school if they failed the Entrance Class, and that was what terrified my sister. One day, when we were sitting in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, and our Saturday chores had been done, I asked Audrey why it was so important that she get out of the Entrance Class. Couldn’t she just stay home with Mother? Goodness knows there was lots to keep busy at on the farm...the garden was being planted, spring housecleaning was under way, the summer clothes had to be gotten ready. And besides, lots of the older girls when they finished at the Northcote School would go off and get married if they passed or not! Well, Audrey didn’t even have a steady boyfriend, so that was out. And then she told me, almost in a whisper, as if she was telling some dark secret. “Do you know what the fate is for a farm girl who doesn’t pass out of the Entrance Class?” she asked. And her face took on a most serious look, almost as if she was heading for some terrible end. And then she said...again in a whisper...but with a sharpness in her voice ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES MANAGER Andrea McMurtry 613-283-3182 x169 SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988

that I rarely heard. “They go in to Renfrew and do housework for the rich people.” And she let out a long and purposeful sigh. “Housework...that’s what they do. And I would rather die than leave the farm and go into Renfrew to scrub and clean for the rich people!” And she named a few of the girls who once went to the Northcote School who didn’t pass at the end of year, and they were in Renfrew, away from the only home they knew, doing housework for the rich people. And so that was the fate of my beloved sister Audrey if she didn’t pass out of the Entrance Class. Once she told me that, I no longer felt the same about our secret nightly prayer at the side of my bed. I put my mind right to it and became just as fervent as my sister, begging God to help her get that report card from Miss Crosby at the end of the school year, saying she had passed out of the Entrance Class, saving her from doing housework in Renfrew for the rich people.

Parkhill defends NDP pulling plug on Liberals, lauds party job tax credit plan By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – The boys are back in town, but the place sure looks different. With the exception of the Green Party candidate, the big three parties in Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington (LFLA) are represented by the very same men who carried their party banners in the Oct. 6, 2011 vote. And while New Democratic Party candidate David Parkhill is not new to this rodeo, he won’t have to be changing his tune this time around – unlike his two main opponents, Liberal Bill MacDonald, and incumbent Progressive Conservative MPP Randy Hillier. “In a way it is a rehash,” Parkhill admitted during a telephone interview on the return end of a business trip from Toronto on May 12. “In a way, it is a whole new filter,” for the other candidates at least. He explained that, in 2011, “Bill spent a lot of time backpedalling on Liberal policies at the time. It’ll be interesting to see him backpedal this time. Randy has had his schism within his party,” when he was fired as the party’s labour critic this past summer for internal party quarelling over a construction union bill. “(Hillier) no longer appears to have the ear of the party as he once had.” While Tamworth resident Cam Mather is the only newbie to this race, he said he would miss his former Green opponent, Nancy Matte of Appleton. “I’ll miss her,” he said. “We got along very well during the last campaign.” While he was cordial with Matte, he charged that Hillier has been less friendly with Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals. During his nearly seven years at Queens Park, “all he’s ever said
is ‘No.’ Nothing has been accomplished. If you are willing to sit down with people, you get things accomplished.” However, NDP refusal to support Finance Minister Charles Sousa’s May 1st budget is what led to this election being called in the first place, with New Democrat patience having run out. While there was new infrastructure and social spending in the budget, Parkhill stood by his leader’s decision to pull the plug on the Liberals. “I think Andrea (Horwath) was absolutely right,” he said, admitting that quite a few progressive and labour union leaders had urged her to support the budget anyway. “If I was one of the other union leaders, I would say of that budget that was presented, I would say, it looks okay,” he said. But, as he saw the budget, it was not sustainable. While his party counts 70 promises in the 2014 budget, he was still waiting on several promises from the 2013 budget to be followed up on, including an accountability office, which “didn’t appear,” or automobile insurance relief, or home care wait list relief. Already, the air campaign, namely, radio and television ads, have begun airing, with the Liberals first out of the gate, targeting Horwath. “I think it (the Liberal ad) is a back-handed compliment,” he said. “They are a lot of soft Liberals out there who are saying… ‘I don’t know if I can hold my nose and vote for them again.’” The polls remain widely in flux and with several weeks, and the leaders’ debates still to come, anything could happen. A poll-of-polls done by the website threehundredeight.com projected that, as of May 12, with infield polling going to May 9, that the Progressive Conservatives would fill out a one-seat majority of 55, the Liberals would squeak
David Parkhill in as the official opposition at 28, and the NDP would be in third place with 24 seats. However, an earlier poll by the same website found that the Liberals would win 44 seats, to the PCs 40, and the NDP at 23, which could result in the NDP once again in the position of power. “I don’t think you would need a formal coalition,” said Parkhill. In 2011, after the McGuinty Liberals were reduced to a minority government, “we decided, ‘Okay, we are willing to work with a minority government and work with McGuinty and Wynne.” Looking back, he said that the first Liberal budget was paletable to the left-of-centre party. The second budget came at a time when Ontarians were “starting to get word of (the) gas plant scandal and stuff like that.” The third budget however was too much.
However, “if Wynne is elected again, our mandate is to work with her…that’s what the people of Ontario want.” Large riding Closer to home, Parkhill knows that he is again faces a daunting challenge, with a huge riding, with just as many diverse

“This precarious employment is killing me,” he said, adding that there was plenty of full-time work out there – if “you are a temporary foreign worker.” He pointed to his party’s Job Creation Tax Credit as one way to kick-start the economy in eastern Ontario. The program would provide provincial tax credits up to $5,000 or 10 per cent of a person’s wage to employers creating new employment. “If you are investing in manufacturing, we will give you a sweet deal,” said Parkhill, or, indeed, a sweet deal for any jobs created. “If you’re not hiring, you’re not getting a tax break.” The NDP would also change the corporate tax structure, and create more tax breaks for middle and small businesses. He noted that big corporations like the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and insurance companies, “are getting away with murder,” in how they pay taxes. So far, the only debate scheduled for Lanark County is scheduled for Thursday, May 29, to be held in Carleton Place, and hosted by that town’s chamber of commerce. A time and location has yet to be determined. Note: This is the first in a series of articles profiling the candidates of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington in the run-up to the Thursday, June 12 election.

challenges from one end to the other. On the first official weekend of the campaign, he awoke before 5 a.m. at his home outside of Kingston, drove to Carleton Place to attend a press conference hosted by Kory Earle, president of People First of Ontario. He listened intently, had a quick chat with Earle, drove home, showered, and then went back to work. “I may as well be honest about it,” he said. “I live fourand-a-half minutes outside of the riding.” But he is quick to deflect criticism of not living in the riding. “How does someone who lives in Perth represent the interests of people who live in Yarker,” and vice versa, he asked. In Lanark County, one of the top issues for him has been the move for a new hospital for Carleton Place, where he faulted Hillier for his antagonistic attitude at Queen’s Park for failing to move the ball forward. “We don’t have someone in the legislature who can bring himself down to talk with Liberals,” he said. While he admitted that Kemptville College was outside of the riding, for rural residents “it is of importance to the riding.” Overall, however, the biggest issue is jobs, or lack of them, or underemployment.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hoping the shot doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break is Pakenham Highlands pro and director of operations Scott Mikkelsen. Although no self-respecting golf club would remain closed, the weather was still causing a slow start to the season on May 3. Pakenhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular course didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open until April 24, the latest start is 20 years. It was two weeks late, said Mikkelsen, who usually comes in at two above or below par.

Canadians living the dream at the national championship Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; We recently returned from an enjoyable spring driving vacation in the New England states. The mainly sunny, temperate weather we experienced is a far cry from what happened at home while we were away. It was cold and wet here. More like fall than spring. And the arrival of fall signals the start of hockey season in Canada. When the normally warm breezes of spring arrive (we finally felt them this past weekend), the elite teams in hockey are continuing along the lengthy and difficult playoff trail. This year there is no club in Junior A hockey more deserving to be called â&#x20AC;&#x153;an elite teamâ&#x20AC;? than the squad from my adopted hometown. The Carleton Place Canadians are enjoying a truly incredible season. The fact they are still playing hockey in May underlines the fact. There are only five of 127 Canadian Junior A hockey teams still playing at the moment and Carleton Place is among them. They are competing in the national championship tournament, the Royal Bank Cup (RBC), which this year is being played in the British Columbia interior community of Vernon. As of this writing they were 1-1 in the round robin. Canadians defeated host Vernon Vipers 3-2 in their opener Saturday, but fell
4-3 against Dauphin (Manitoba) Kings Sunday. Carleton Place faced crucial games Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon as they aimed to qualify for the playoffs in the tournament. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long and difficult road to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Final Fiveâ&#x20AC;? in the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL). To clarify, Carleton Place is actually one of three regional champions this year along with Toronto Lakeshore Patriots and Yorkton (Saskatchewan) Terriers. Vernon, who have the most national championships (six) to their credit, were swept in the final of the British Columbia Hockey League playoffs but qualify because they are the hosts. Dauphin made it to the nationals as the western Canada runners-up. Carleton Place is the newest entry in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL), one of 10 Junior A leagues across the country governed by the Calgarybased CJHL. Under the leadership of head coach and owner Jason Clarke, Canadians have completed a truly remarkable â&#x20AC;&#x153;doubleâ&#x20AC;? this season. In just their fifth campaign in the 12-team CCHL, Carleton Place set new standards for winning in a league that is more than 50-years-old. What is now the CCHL began play in 1961 as the Ottawa-Hill District Junior Hockey League. On Easter Sunday Canadians
bye to the final.
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
scored a thrilling, come-frombehind 2-1 victory over arch rival Smiths Falls Bears. That triumph, in front of a capacity crowd at Carleton Place and District Community Centre, gave Canadians the CCHL championship in five games. Trophy No. 1, the BogartNielsen Cup, was hoisted in front of a wildly happy home crowd. Ten days later Carleton Place was in Saint-Jerome, Quebec northwest of Montreal where they represented the CCHL in the Fred Page Cup (FPC) Eastern Canadian championship tournament. The four team competition included host Saint-Jerome Panthers of the Quebec Junior AAA League, along with Quebec champion Granby Inouk and Truro Bearcats, the winners of the Maritime Junior A Hockey League title. Bearcats were the defending FPC champions after hosting and winning the 2013 tournament. Although the games were anything but easy, Canadians swept the round robin downing the host Panthers 6-4, doubling Granby 4-2 and edging Truro 2-1. Carleton Place earned a
Cheering from afar Sadly, I was unable to attend the Fred Page Cup. We were away on our long-planned driving holiday in the New England states with our friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc. But as we drove the country roads of Vermont and New Hampshire, on our neverending search for new and longer covered bridges, Canadians werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t far from our minds. They were at our fingertips in fact. Wendy, who is the mayor of Carleton
Place, is also a dedicated Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fan. Using their portable devices Wendy and Kathy were able to access the tournament website which streamed up to the minute data on every game. Judging by the screams of excitement coming from the back seat I knew our heroes were continuing the consistent play which got them to Saint-Jerome! Panthers, who upended Truro 5-2 in the semi-final, were Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opponent in the championship game on Sunday afternoon, May 4. The crowd of more than
1,800 was primarily comprised of Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fans. But I was told the estimated 250 Carleton Place fans that made the more than two hour drive to suburban Montreal provided tremendous vocal support all afternoon. Canadians trailed 1-0 late in the first. But a powerplay marker from Michigan native Vinny Post with 1:25 left in the opening frame pulled the visitors even. It stayed that way until the 7:17 mark of period three. See COLUMN page 24 R0012698675_0515

New home construction market headed for a soft landing in 2014 Business — Housing starts in Canada were trending at 183,515 units in April compared to 184,602 in March, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “In April, the trend in housing starts was essentially stable at 183,515 units. This is in line with CMHC’s analysis indicating that the new home construction market in Canada is headed for a soft landing in 2014,” said Mathieu Laberge, deputy chief economist. “Over the remainder of the year, builders are expected to continue to adjust activity, particularly with respect to multiples, in order to manage inventory levels.” CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from
one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 194,809 units in April, an increase from 156,592 in March. The SAAR of urban starts increased to 176,792 units. Multiple urban starts increased to 117,612 units while the single-detached urban starts segment increased to 59,180 units. In April, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts increased in Ontario, the Prairies and Quebec, and decreased in Atlantic

As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of high quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions.

Leeds Grenville releases four new promotional videos, launches YouTube channel News – Fresh and engaging videos to promote our distinctive region are now live on the newly-launched United Counties of Leeds and Grenville YouTube Channel (youtube.com/LeedsGrenville). We invite you to view and share our videos, subscribe to our YouTube channel, and visit LeedsGrenville.com for more in-depth regional information. The four new videos are crisp and concise using a friendly “we invite you” concept to highlight all 13 member and partner municipalities within the Leeds Grenville region. The United Counties slogan “Where lifestyle grows good business” is a main theme throughout, featuring up-close spotlights on local business combined with sweeping aerial
footage of signature locations. “Having quality video is more important than ever if you’re going to attract new business and investment,” Leeds Grenville Warden Ron Holman said. “These videos clearly show what we have to offer in terms of location and that we’re open for business. We’re positioned well in the marketplace, offer lower costs, shorter commutes and all in a region known for its iconic tourist attractions,” he said. “Our videos bring forward our digital marketing strategy and add to our online toolkit of being investment ready,” said United Counties economic development manager Ann Weir. “The videos make a statement and can be used to promote our region online and to markets around
the world,” she said. The main promotional video is approximately three minutes in length. Three shorter videos focus on the creative economy and investment attraction, new worker recruitment, and tourism attraction. The scripting expands on our region’s lower land and development costs, our accessibility to Canadian and US markets, our diversity and proud heritage, and for being a transportation and logistics hub in close proximity to Ottawa, our Nation’s Capital. Producing promotional videos is part of a four-year Counties Economic Development Strategic Plan through the Leeds Grenville economic development department. An update on the
and properties is updated nightly on the Invest site. The new videos can be viewed in the Video Gallery found on our website in the Invest section under Our Unique Advantage and in the Visit section under Discover Leeds Grenville. Every Leeds Grenville municipality has their own video playlist on both the United Counties website and its new YouTube channel. The United Counties economic development department would like to thank the many volunteers and businesses who participated in the video development, along with the crew from Crowe Productions Inc. Submitted by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.
plan was recently presented to counties council. Local footage videotaped during this project is also being shared for further marketing through Ontario East Economic Development Commission (OEEDC) and its soon to be released promotional videos. The United Counties website (leedsgrenville.com) was launched in 2012 and includes four main sections: Live, Govern, Visit and Invest. The site is designed to be a central repository of information on the United Counties and the many services it provides throughout the region. The website is home to an online business directory which is shared with 10 Leeds Grenville municipal websites. A listing of available lands

REGIONAL NEWS COLUMN From page 12
Carleton Place native Stephen Baylis, the playoff scoring leader for Canadians, came up with a shorthanded tally to give the CCHL champs the advantage. In the late going Canadians managed to kill two penalties. And then, with the Saint-Jerome goalie on the bench in favour of a sixth attacker, late season addition Dylan Gareau buried the puck in the empty Panthers’ goal. A jubilant Carleton Place team lifted trophy No. 2 – the Fred Page Cup! Canadians have made local sports history this season. They have also broken several CCHL records. But even the coaches, players and the team’s most ardent fans didn’t see a national championship berth in the offing when the long league campaign began way back on August 31. I know, because I asked those people! Dare they dream of a win at the RBC tournament in British Columbia? At this writing that dream remains alive. With two championship trophies already in their trophy case, this has been a truly phenomenal season for Carleton Place. They lost their first game in the season-opening CCHL Showcase in Kanata, falling 4-2 to Ottawa Junior Senators. Consistent winners They were edged 2-1 by Hawkesbury Hawks in their 2014
R0012703067_0515
debut Jan. 5. It was their first home ice defeat of the season following a record 18 straight victories at community centre. Then the Carleton Place steamroller shifted into high gear. The team embarked on an 18 game unbeaten run. Canadians ended the campaign with a CCHL record 110 points on the strength of 54 wins (also a league high), one overtime setback and a shootout loss. They established another league high water mark with 29 home victories and just one regulation time defeat in 31 outings on home ice. A remarkable accomplishment in any league, in any sport. They compiled the most points of any Junior A team among the 127 teams in 10 leagues that comprise the CJHL. Heading into the RBC, Carleton Place had won 70 of 82 games in all competitions. That also has to be some kind of record. Consistency has been the hallmark of their season! Qualifying for the RBC is an honour in and of itself. To reach the nationals Canadians had to win the FPC. In the 20-year history of the Fred Page Cup seven CCHL teams have won the event. Pembroke and Brockville Braves have done it twice. The Canadian championship is much more difficult to win. Only two teams from Eastern Ontario have ever triumphed at this level. The former Rockland Nationals hosted and won the 1976 competition. A very good Pembroke
club were the 2011 winners in Camrose, Alberta. This is the 19th year RBC has sponsored the competition. Pembroke is the only CCHL side to reach the final and win that particular trophy. From 1971 to 1995 the national trophy was the Centennial Cup. Rockland won in 1976. But in the 25-year history of that award just three other CCHL teams made it to the final at the nationals. Pembroke were runners-up in 1973 and 1977, losing to western Canada host teams in best-of-seven series on both occasions. A very good Smiths Falls’ club lost to Selkirk (Manitoba) Steelers in the 1974 final played in Nepean, falling in the seventh and deciding game. In 1995, the final year the Centennial Cup was presented, Gloucester Rangers hosted the tournament, losing 5-4 in overtime to Calgary Canucks in the title game. I have thoroughly enjoyed covering Carleton Place’s amazing playoff run for this newspaper. As I have said to so many people, this is as good as it gets in Junior A hockey. No matter what happens this week Canadians deserve tremendous credit for their efforts this season. There is a victory parade planned and I hope as many people as possible will be on hand to honour our local heroes!

Elvis comes to life in tribute at Studio Theatre June 20 moves, or heart-stopping good looks that take you back to 1956. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his attitude, body language and interaction with the audience, especially up-close, where he likes to be. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when your brain will insist that Elvis Presley is in the room and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not 1977 yet. Gino Monopoli is called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;superstar tribute artistâ&#x20AC;? because he takes the concept to a whole new level, a level the thousands of impersonators

Elvis, capturing the look, sound and animal magnetism of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recognizable celebrity, and communicating with his audience like the world-class entertainer he is.

Twice the Fun for online business in 2014
E
veryone likes to play games. The desire to unravel puzzles, solve mysteries and be the first to get to an agreed upon finish line is something we seem to be born with. In the 21st century there are all kinds of games to be played. The computer has replaced the way we do so many things from writing a letter, checking the weather and of course enjoy our games. The new ways are not all bad, just different. Given an opportunity to experience playing a real and not virtual board game, most people come away with good feelings. It is all part of enjoying playing with others. As children we experience the feeling of togetherness, having fun with our friends. Twice the Fun Games captures the essence of playing board games, card games and puzzles. The owner and operator of the online business in North Grenville, Boris Lysynski has a foot in two worlds. As a former electronic engineer he can appreciate the thrill of the virtual gaming world but as a life-time board game fanatic he also enjoys the different experience of facing an opponent in a live game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a gamer,â&#x20AC;? said Lysynski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want people to sit down together and have fun together.â&#x20AC;? In keeping with
his interest and enthusiasm for board games Lysynski is part of the North Grenville Gamerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Group, NG3. While Boris is growing Twice the Fun Games he is also sharing the fun with his neighbours. As part of the NG3, he has helped organize the first annual gaming convention â&#x20AC;&#x153;CoyoteConâ&#x20AC;? for North Grenville. In cooperation with Kemptville Campus, the NG3 will be hosting CoyoteCon on June 21. The event will be held at the W.B. George Centre. The room will be divided in two, explained Lysynski. One side will be ongoing live board games and on the other side will be sponsoring vendors. The always-popular Tri-Game-A-Thon typically sees 25-30 players and showcases: Ticket to Ride; Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne. The storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online presence has grown and now he feels it is time for a storefront. Twice the Fun Games has found a home in the lower level of the former Giant Tiger building across from B&H Grocers in Old Town Kemptville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be joining up with the Kemptville Crafters Market this May,â&#x20AC;? said Lysynski. Twice the Fun Games will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the market. Twice the Fun Games can be found at www.twicethefungames. ca or for more information, call 613-702-6620.

“May is Speech and Hearing Month” is an annual opportunity for Audiologists and Speech- Language Pathologists to educate the public regarding the difficulties faced by those with communication barriers such as hearing loss, and speech and language disorders. As an audiologist for 20 years, I have been privileged to assist my clients, both children and adults, with hearing loss. For children, undiscovered hearing loss, whether from birth or fluctuating hearing sensitivity from ear infections, can lead to delays in speech and language development, risk of educational failure, social isolation from peers and poor self-esteem. Unfortunately, US studies show a rise in hearing impairment among teenagers contributable to noise exposure. While some of my adult clients have developed hearing loss due to illness, the majority of adult population develops hearing loss slowly over time, often due to aging or noise exposure. According to Statistics Canada, more than 1,000,000 Canadians have some degree of hearing loss, with the number of hearing impaired Canadians rising steadily following the ages of 3544 with just under 50 per cent of the population having hearing loss over the age of 45.
Untreated hearing loss can cause stress in the family as the ability to communicate becomes more difficult, increase fatigue due to the strain of struggling to hear and, impede one’s ability to perform one’s job. Many of my clients have reported limiting their social activities, including volunteer work, due to their inability to communicate or enjoy conversation across the table. Some have reported feeling isolated, lonely and depressed. Fortunately, hearing aids can greatly improve the quality of life for hearing impaired individuals. Hearing aids can make conversation easier to hear, improving communication and decreasing listener fatigue. Over the last 20 years, hearing aid technology has improved enormously and today’s digital hearing aids range greatly in terms of technology level and cost, enabling me to successfully fit more clients. If you are concerned that you or a loved one is experiencing a hearing loss, contact an audiologist to arrange a hearing test. Your audiologist can determine if a hearing aid is necessary and start you down the path to better communication! Debra Wilson is a recognized audiologist with Helix Hearing Care Centre. She has an office in Perth. For more information on Helix, visit www.helixhca.com.

JOHNSTON, Mark – Dearly loved son, brother, caring father, uncle and friend to many. January 24, 1962 - May 13, 2003. He is gone but not forgotten, And, as dawns another year: In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near. Days of sadness will come o’er us, Many think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, That lies in the heart concealed. Always loved and missed, Mother Eileen Johnston
TOUPIN, Dennis James November 16, 1969 - May 19, 2013 My wonderful son. Of all the special gifts in life However great or small, To have you as my son DAGENAIS – In loving memory of Thelma Dagenais Was the greatest gift of all. A special time, a special face who passed away May 15, 2005. A special Son I can’t replace You were tired, I saw it in your face. With an aching heart, The end was coming at a fast pace. I whisper low But, how I wanted you to stay… I miss you Son, and love you so. In time, I came to understand, your will was not my command. Love Mom and Rich Life just became too hard for you. I didn’t want to see…but I knew… You had to be where you could fly. Mom, It’s too hard to say good-bye. You were mine for all those years, I’ll miss you and cry my tears. But I also know, that’s okay… for we’ll be together again some day. Love your daughter Darlene

SIEMANN, Biruta Born February 21, 1936 Passed Away May 17, 2013 Already one year has passed, That I lost you after so many happy years together. It feels like it happened only yesterday. I will always think of you - Your Husband. My thanks to the many friends who helped me cope with the loss of my wife. God Bless You, Heiko Siemann RINGER – In loving memory of Robert K. Ringer, May 17, 1994. Fond are the ties that are broken, Dear is the one that is gone, In memory we shall keep him As long as the years roll on. As we loved him, so we miss him, In our memory he is dear Loved, remembered, longed for always, Bringing many a silent tear. “In silence we remember.” Lovingly Remembered wife Violet, children grandchildren & great grandchildren McDANIEL - Terry (Turk) May 17, 2011 A rose once grew where all could see, Shelter beside a garden wall, As the days pass swiftly by, It spreads its branches straight and tall, One day a beam of light shone thru a crevice, That had opened wide, The rose bent gently towards its warmth, Then passed beyond to the other side, Now you who deeply feel its lose, Be comforted the rose blooms there, Its beauty even greater now, Nurtured by Gods loving care, Forever missed, Forever loved Betty.
OBITUARY
DAVIS “Vi”
Our beloved Mother and friend, peacefully passed away April 9, 2014, at the age of 88, in Algonquin, Ontario. She was born on May 25, 1925 in the Hazlet District of Saskatchewan, the second youngest daughter of William and Alice Cline. On August 4, 1943, she married Daniel Davis of Saskatchewan. Dan was in the army and stationed at Prince Albert at the time. He later transferred to the Air Force and was stationed at Trenton, ON. When Dan went to Ontario, Vi stayed in Saskatchewan, to give birth to Dale on October 23, 1944. When he was three months old, Vi took Dale with her to Ontario to join her husband. Six months later, Dan was discharged from the Air Force. They moved back to Saskatchewan, where they rented a farm in the Webb District. While there, a daughter, Gloria, was born on the 9th of July, 1946. They returned to Ontario in 1948, where they bought a farm near Jasper. Daniel Raymond Davis was born on July 27, 1963. Daniel Sr. died suddenly on the 5th day of September, 1971. Viola is survived by her sister, Lois McDougal, children Dale Davis, Gloria (Al) Harriman, Daniel (Sandra) Davis and grandchildren, Dan Harriman, Allana Harriman, Brenda Harriman, and Alexander Davis. Predeceased by her brothers and sisters Lillian (Cline) Fitzgerald, Lydia Cline, Dorothy (Cline) Bateman, Eva (Cline) Koehler, Bill Cline, Ted Cline, and Ernie Cline, and her grandchildren, Nicholas Davis and Amanda Harriman. A lovely service was held at the Calvary Bible Church in Smiths Falls on April 15, 2014. Interment followed at Wolford Cemetery.

HULL, Daisy In loving memory of a dear mother and mother-in-law, Daisy, who passed away May 10, 1984. Time cannot steal the memories we carry in our hearts, Or take away the happy years of which Mother you were a part. Thirty years seems so impossible, it was just like yesterday, No one misses you more than us And it will always remain that way. Lovingly remembered Donna and Lynn Rattray - In loving memory of our Mum and Grandma, May Rattray (May, 2001), and Dad and Grandpa, Howard Rattray (January, 1984). There’s a bridge of beautiful memories, From here to heaven above. It keeps you very close to us, It’s called the bridge of love. If remembering brings you closer, Then you never went away. For thoughts of you are with us, Each and every day. Always loved; never forgotten. Love, Roger, Shelley, Katelyn, Jenna and Brityn x oxo xo

LCBO stores raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis Canada News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Starting April 27, the public can help support Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Canada during May, Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month by making a donation at any of the more than 635 LCBO stores throughout Ontario. Donation boxes for Cystic Fibrosis Canada will be displayed at LCBO checkouts until May 24. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful for the support of the LCBO, its employees and especially its customers, to help raise funds and awareness to help Canadians with cystic fibrosis,â&#x20AC;? says Maureen Adamson, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Cystic Fibrosis Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the support of our partners, like LCBO, we are able to continue to invest in life-saving CF research and care. This is a great opportunity to contribute to the fight against cystic fibrosis.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;LCBO is pleased to partner with Cystic Fibrosis Canada and support a variety of worthy causes throughout the year,â&#x20AC;? says LCBO president and CEO Bob Peter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The generous support from LCBO customers and staff helps these charitable organizations make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and communities across Ontario.â&#x20AC;? Cystic Fibrosis Canada is one of 28 provincial, as well as numerous local charities, that will benefit from LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s province-wide donation box program in 2014. In 2012, LCBO raised a total of more than $6.6 million for charities through special programs and initiatives, of which $6.1 million was raised through in-store fundraising. In addition, LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual dividend transfer to the Ontario government, which totalled $1.7 billion in fiscal 2012-13, excluding taxes, supports a wide range of important government programs, services and priorities, including health care and education. Cystic Fibrosis Canada thanks the public for its support when shopping at their local LCBO store from April 27 to May 24. About cystic fibrosis Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. It is a multi-system disease that affects mainly the lungs and the digestive system. In the lungs, where the effects are most devastating, a build-up of thick mucus causes severe respiratory problems. Mucus and protein also build up in the digestive tract, making it difficult to digest and absorb nutrients from food. As improved therapies have helped to address the malnutrition issues, ultimately most deaths related to cystic fibrosis are due to lung disease. There is no cure. Cystic Fibrosis Canada Cystic Fibrosis Canada is one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top three charitable organizations committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis and is an internationally-recognized leader in funding CF research, innovation, and clinical care.

Community gets on board with CN Cycle for CHEO, raises $804,034 for pediatric cancer outstanding event.â&#x20AC;? Just prior to the start of the Esso 15K Cycle & inline skate the annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angelsâ&#x20AC;? tribute was held as a memorial to all of the children at CHEO whose lives have been cut short by cancer. The tribute is named after Tori Carswell, member of the 2002 Dream Team who lost her battle with cancer in 2004 at the age of nine-yearsold. Also honoured were past Dream Team members Hannah Billings and Evan Simms who also lost their battles with cancer. This year, 168 teams took part in the Ottawa Citizen Team Challenge. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning team is Ericsson who brought in a total of $54,364. Congratulations goes out to Julie Villemaire who was the winner of the draw among all registered CN Cycle participants who raised more than $250 for airfare for two to any Air Canada destination in North America. CN along with other corporate sponsors helped to underwrite the costs of the event which allows every dollar pledged by supporters to benefit the CHEO Foundation, Candlelighters and Ronald McDonald House and in turn, the children and families affected by cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing former CHEO cancer patients out riding and walking amongst the thou-
OFAH, OPG partner on TackleShare program News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Youth across Ontario will get access to the gear and the knowhow to become expert anglers this summer as the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters/ Ontario Power Generation (OFAH/OPG) TackleShare program gets ready to sweep the province for another year of fishing events beginning in May. OFAH/OPG TackleShare is designed to break down barriers that keep kids from experiencing the joy of fishing by providing everything young anglers need. Participants simply sign out a rod, reel and tackle the same way they would borrow library materials. OFAH/OPG TackleShare runs two programs: TackleShare Loaner Sites, which loans gear at more than 140 loaner sites across Ontario, and Travelling TackleShare, which brings fishing gear to a variety of events in different locations during the summer. The Travelling TackleShare crew also gives presentations on fish identification, invasive species, the food chain, fishing tips and water safety. As title sponsor for the past five years, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) recently
made a three year commitment to ensure Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth continue to reap the benefits of fishing safely in the great outdoors for years to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to understand that water near hydroelectric dams and stations can become dangerous in seconds,â&#x20AC;? says OPGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice-president of hydroelectric and thermal operations, Mike Martelli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleased to partner with OFAH on TackleShare to help support Ontario families experience the joy of fishing while teaching them to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stay Clear and to Stay Safeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; around OPGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 65 hydroelectric stations and 240 dams.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Ontario children should have the opportunity to catch their first fish, building memories that will last a lifetime,â&#x20AC;? OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;OFAH/OPG TackleShare makes that experience possible for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the gear, but want to give fishing a try.â&#x20AC;? For more information, visit www.tackleshare.com and follow us on Twitter @ OFAHTackleShare for event reminders and highlights throughout the summer.
sands of participants, is a true testament to the importance of CN Cycle for CHEO. Many of them have battled cancer and survived.
How wonderful it must be for them to be surrounded by thousands of people who want to help children just like them. On behalf
of all families whose lives have been touched by cancer I want to thank the participants, volunteers, sponsors and donors for making
this important event such a huge success,â&#x20AC;? said Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive officer of the CHEO Foundation.
Proceeds from CN Cycle for CHEO will be presented on the CHEO Telethon on CTV, which airs on June 7 and 8.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; People from all over the National Capital Region got on their bikes, strapped on their rollerblades and put on their running shoes earlier today as the CN Cycle for CHEO took to the streets of Ottawa. Everyone was out to raise money to help kids with cancer at CHEO and the CHEO Foundation was thrilled to announce an incredible grand total of $804,034. Two of the three members of The 2014 McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream Team were on hand to represent the thousands of kids who rely on CHEO each year. Over the past three months, CHEO cancer patients Justin Leblanc, Michael Meehan and Madison Primeau have been helping promote the event, while raising funds themselves to help the thousands of kids just like them who are fighting cancer. Due to complications with his treatment, Justin was unfortunately unable to attend the event. Claude Mongeau, president and chief executive officer of CN, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone at CN is thrilled to be involved in this event. The CN Cycle for CHEO makes life better for families dealing with pediatric cancer and that makes us proud to be the title sponsor. The enthusiasm of the people of Ottawa is infectious and we love being part of this

Food bank reformer praises Jackie Seaton By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – A prominent author and food bank reformer has praised Perth’s own food champion, the late Jackie Seaton. “I can’t come to Perth and not talk about Jackie Seaton,” said Nick Saul of the Empty Bowls founder and potter. “He was an amazing guy.” Saul, author of The Stop: How the Fight for Good Food Transformed a Community and Inspired a Movement, with Andrea Curtis, was speaking at Farrell Hall in Perth on Tuesday, May 6. Saul recalled how Seaton entered his life through his parents, social activists who thought nothing of running out onto the pitch during sporting events and getting arrested to protest South Africa’s racist apartheid regime. “Jackie was a really big figure in our home,” said Saul. “I knew him as a potter,” but he was so much more than that. “He’s the best community organizer. He galvanizes people.” Saul’s visit to Perth came just days after the June 12 provincial election had been called by Premier Kathleen Wynne, but though he wanted to make poverty and hunger an election issue, he cautioned that changing the party leaders’ minds on how the issue is seen would be difficult. “Political parties have dined out on the idea that people are poor because it is a lifestyle choice, or because of bad budgeting,” said Saul. “I have never met someone who wanted to send their child to school hungry… I think about this idea that no one wants to be poor. It may seem like a self-evident proposition. There’s a lot of food out there. There just isn’t enough money out there to afford it.”

THE EMC - P1 - Thursday, May 15, 2014
The talk was sponsored by The Table Community Food Centre as part of a series of events to mark Hunger Week, but even the name of the week was something with which Saul took issue. “We need to rebrand it,” he said, suggesting, “Poverty awareness week.” Even within the food bank world itself, Saul and his likeminded fellow travellers have instigated a sea change in how food banks operate, as evidenced by the changes seen at The Table, which has re-branded itself and changed focus in the past few years. “You have to have been asleep under a mushroom not to have noticed a change in the food file,” he said, calling it a “consumer-led food revolution.” However, this revolution has “left a lot of people behind,” partially because of “inadequate, unhealthy social assistance rates.” He reiterated the sobering statistics that four million Canadians are “food insecure,” and adding that while “changing what we buy is part of the solution… we are so much more than consumers.” The new food revolution has run the gamut of change to include fair trade, organic, gluten free, and even the 100-km diet. For patrons of food banks however, there has been a significant lag in what people are demanding, and what they are receiving. Saul started work at a food bank called The Stop in a Toronto neighbourhood in 1998, and he freely admits “the food was mostly awful.” Whatever food was donated, doled out to the needy, under the mentality

HUNGER From page P1
that “any food will do. Beggars can’t be choosers.” There were no healthy options on the shelves, no culturally sensitive options, and the décor was depressing, with bad lighting. “The change started very simply,” said Saul. “By listening to them.” They started, incrementally, by adding kitchens for patrons to use, to learn how to cook healthy meals at drop-in classes. They also expanded into advocacy work, and have community gardens. While changes like this have taken root in Perth, “there was resistance to those changes,” at The Stop. “They (critics) make it seem as though it is all a waste of time.” But he responded to his critics, saying that the changes were to make the patrons “active, engaged citizens,” not just passive recipients of charity. Canada’s first food bank started in Edmonton in 1983, and it was heralded as only a temporary solution. Since then, “food banks have become institutionalized,” he said. “All we hear about now is that we need to donate. Private food charity is not enough. Food banks are merely a Band-Aid.” He admitted that corporations have stepped up to help stock shelves, but some do so to “avoid dumping fees.” He was quick to add, “I am not interested in villainizing the food banks,” adding that they and their volunteers are good people, doing their best to address a real human need under trying circumstances. “I am very respectful to people who
give of their time to feed a human need,” he said. But, “by making us feel that the problem has been solved, the box ticked off… it lets government off of the hook.” That is why places like The Stop, which he left in 2012, and The Table, advocate change. “Change happens because people fight for it,” he said. One way this change has manifested itself is by seeing a food bank doing the once unthinkable – refusing food donations. “It’s really hard to say no to someone who comes in with food,” said Saul. “But you have to bite the hand. You have to prioritize healthy food.” If not, then “all of your energy will be sucked up by the truck pulling up, and unloading the truck, and putting it up on the shelves.” Another initiative that appears counter-intuitive to food bank thinking is that Saul wants to see more people using food banks since “50 per cent of people who need food banks don’t go because of the stigma. “You want to create really good places where people want to be.” During a meeting with a government minister, the politician told Saul’s delegation that one of the days she looked forward to on the calendar was when she and her children would go to the supermarket to pick out food for the food bank. One of Saul’s delegates took exception to this, telling the minister: “There is no dignity in your kids choosing what my kids will eat.”

Author Nick Saul, president and chief executive officer of Community Food Centres Canada, speaks at Farrell Hall on May 6 as part of The Table Community Food Centre’s Hunger Week events. To the right, Karen Fitzpatrick, board member at the Dalhousie Food Cupboard in Ottawa, was also present at the event. Another challenge that he and other anti-poverty activists face is that “the big corporations dominate our foodscape,” and food is seen as a “commodity.” He attended a panel discussion at a food conference sponsored by the Conference Board of Canada, and found it to be “basically a love-in for corporate food. I was blown away,” that nothing close to a national policy on food was being discussed, but rather, almost exclusively, how to maximize profits, and sell better. He said that the meeting reeked of “triumphalism.” “We don’t want a system where the rich get local and organic (food), and the poor get diabetes,” said Saul. “We need a national school nutrition program. I don’t believe we don’t have one

(already).” Saul is now the president and chief executive officer of Community Food Centres Canada, which is looking at expanding its existing network to including Dartmouth, NS, another Toronto location, and Winnipeg soon. They are in the midst of a $20 million capital campaign, of which $14.5 million has been raised. The Ontario Trillium Foundation has announced $2 million for the Toronto CFC, and the Public Health Agency of Canada will donate money too. While public money is forthcoming to his organization, he still chided all levels of government for not stepping up. “We can find money for fighter jets in a heartbeat,” but not for food, he said.
But he also criticized his own sector. “The non-profit sector is famous for not playing ball. It’s curious. We have a lot of mom-and-pop non-profits. That is someone’s dream. I’m not trying to change someone’s dream. But are they efficient? Should there be mergers? I go into food banks and they need to close, some of them.” Karen Fitzpatrick, a board member at the Dalhousie Food Cupboard in Ottawa’s downtown west end, was on hand at the speech, and noted that closing or merging food banks might not work in her area. In the city, food is collected centrally at the Ottawa Food Bank’s warehouse, then distributed to individual neighbourhood food banks. But she admitted that Saul’s model, being tried at the nearby Parkdale food bank, was very “impressive.” A number of Ottawa food banks had also tried to change how they do business. “In Ottawa, three of us (food banks) undertook a very significant research program of the quality and quantity of the food being distributed,” said Fitzpatrick. “Providing healthy food is so important and is the way to go.” Saul thanked her for the changes, but noted that when he brought in changes at The Stop, “lots of volunteers walked with their feet.” He took the attitude that “we are here to serve the community. We are not here for you (volunteers). We want you, but… you may have to leave with a few folks at the dock.” Nancy Wildgoose, The Table’s executive director, thanked Saul for his time, and added: “social justice has as its basis a love for your fellow man.”

Rotundo rocks the Cove on Mother’s Day Arts – David Rotundo and his great band showed why he has played more shows at Blues on the Rideau at The Cove Inn, Westport, than any other band over the nine years this series as been running. He puts on a fabulous performance, every time, and the crowd loves him. Rotundo blew harp like a man possessed all night long, sang, laughed, entertained, did his famous walkabout through the packed house and worked hard. Rotundo leaves it all on the stage when he performs. His
excellent band included his old friend Des “Downtown” Brown on guitar, Michel Facen his Argentinian/Mexican/ Dutch bass playing buddy who switched to drums for this show and James Rasmussen who split his time between bass guitar and keyboards. Multi-talented Cove manager/waiter/musician Seamus Cowan joined them on stage on bass guitar for a number of songs too - much to the audience’s delight.

This event raised $1,350 for Westport In Bloom and the Rideau District Museum bringing this year’s total fundraising to just over $5,000. The total raised for local Westport charities now exceeds $50,000 since BOTR at The Cove began. Submitted by BOTR

Students help flood food banks with more than 4,000 pounds of food By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
dentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where did all this come from?â&#x20AC;? she asked, when the Rotarians were unloading their truck at the pantryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back doors for yet another deluge of food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just amazing.â&#x20AC;? The same sentiments were held at The Table Community Food Centre when Wendy Quarrington opened her back doors to the truck full of food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it would be this much. This is just unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? she said, as 10 more boxes came in through the back doors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize just how much we count on their support, especially in the month of April when we saw a record number of people coming in for support. We had over 300 families inâ&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daunting when the shelves start to become empty.â&#x20AC;? Keeping good â&#x20AC;&#x153;healthyâ&#x20AC;? food choices on the shelves has been a top priority at the food banks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When children get a good start on nutrition, then can lead a healthy adult lifeâ&#x20AC;Ś but when there is no food at home, getting them through the doors
The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unofficialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best display of food was awarded to Glen Tay Public School as they collected 450 pounds of food for The Table Community Food Centre. Pictured are (front, left to right), Zoe Andrews, Jamie Boothby and Damon Schneider; (back, left to right), teachers Tracy Mitchell and Courtney Mason, Rotarians Trisha Lee and Jeff Dean, and student Sam Brown in front of Dean.

here is a big deal that we encourage every day,â&#x20AC;? Quarrington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This food drive (with the Rotary Club) has been a well organized campaign and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to be the recipientsâ&#x20AC;Ś weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take food at any time of the year.â&#x20AC;? The Flood of Food Campaign reached a conclusion on May 10, when Rotarians announced their final totals at their annual Rotary Fest dance, featuring Eddy and the Stingrays at the Perth arena. Dean said the Rotary Club used to collect food bank items from those attending the dance, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but this Flood of Food has been way more successful,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to continuing the project next year with all 10 schools taking part in our Flood of Food.â&#x20AC;? He thanked those for helping make this first year a raging success, including local grocery stores for donating food boxes, newspaper and radio personalities, students and their families and all participating schools and staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have done it without all of you,â&#x20AC;? Dean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next year, bigger and better!â&#x20AC;?

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It starts with just one step, but big things happened. That was the case over the past five weeks with the Perth Rotary Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flood of Food Campaign which culminated on Friday, May 9 with the final pickups at the final two schools. Maple Grove and Glen Tay public schools collected 370 and 450 pounds of food respectively to tip the scales at over two tons of food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or 4,220 pounds (109 boxes) and $451.51 in cash over the five-week period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? said Rotarian Jeff Dean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sure didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect the kind of support we received from the community, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been absolutely fantastic.â&#x20AC;? Of the 10 schools, eight participated this year, not including The Stewart School and St. John Catholic Elementary School, but they are already on board for next year, Dean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do this again, over a five-week period, and have it in April/May because that is when the shelves of the local food banks seem to need it most.â&#x20AC;? The Rotary Club has been working with Hugh Colton of Build a Mountain of Food fame â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a campaign that started with one community several years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Already this campaign by the Rotary Club has
blown the Build a Mountain campaign out of the water for the first year. We (Build a Mountain) had just over 3,200 pounds of foodâ&#x20AC;Ś now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up over 100,000 pounds of food $40,000 in cash,â&#x20AC;? Colton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can see this one doing the same thing.â&#x20AC;? Dean said he was thrilled to see the campaign totals grow each week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what happens when one student brings in one can of foodâ&#x20AC;Ś it creates great things,â&#x20AC;? he said. Dean was quick to give credit to fellow Rotarian Trisha Lee, who was able to join the food drive on its final drive to the finish line from Glen Tay Public School Friday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was the one who contacted all the schools and got everyone on board,â&#x20AC;? Dean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got the high schools and Queen Elizabeth on board, but she got the rest of them.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it was something that was an easy sell,â&#x20AC;? said the recently transplanted Victoria BC native. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love being able to get involved with the community. This is how the students learn to give back to their communities as they become adults. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great lesson to teach them at an early age.â&#x20AC;? Lee added that the schools have â&#x20AC;&#x153;blown us away with their generosity and their enthusiasmâ&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more than I could ever imagine.â&#x20AC;?

Spare bedrooms needed for actors
Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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, which celebrates its 5th anniversary with a historic, theatrical guided walking tour, two hits from the golden age of Broadway (Neil Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedy Come Blow Your Horn and Frederick Knottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nailbiting mystery, Dial M for Murder), and a brand new venue at 54 Beckwith Street East. Currently, the Festival has actors who will be arriving in Perth for two separate six-week periods, June 22 to Aug. 4 and July 22 to Sept. 1. 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. For Perth resident Helen Gamble, 2014 marks the fifth season she has hosted a performer, and she looks forward to finding out who sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be billeting this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve billeted at least one actress each year of the Classic Theatre Festival in Perth,â&#x20AC;? Gamble says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first I wondered how it would work out and whether my guest room was adequate. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to have someone coming and going, a bit of company, but someone I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to entertain.â&#x20AC;? 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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All they need beyond their room is a shelf in the fridge and one in a cupboard,â&#x20AC;? Gamble says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billeting costs me very little â&#x20AC;&#x201C; really, just a bit of hot water for showers and a spare key â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but I meet and interact with intelligent, outgoing people and am invited to casual get-togethers of cast, crew, other billeters, and volunteers. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gifted with tickets to the plays which are more interesting than ever, because I know at least one cast member. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I decided to billet that first year and look forward to meeting this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actress and becoming involved once again.â&#x20AC;? Scott Clarkson, a veteran festival performer returning for his fourth consecutive season (audiences will remember his star turns in The Fourposter, Two for the Seesaw, and The MarriageGo-Round), is staying once again with the Hodgins family in Perth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had never been billeted for a show before my first time in Perth and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what to expect,â&#x20AC;? Clarkson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The entire Hodgins family were so welcoming and cheerful that it made a sixweek stay away from home so much easier. This summer will be my fourth with them - and as much as I love Perth and the Classic Theatre Festival, the Hodginsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.â&#x20AC;? 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 CTF

Food fight’s food for thought
banks. The arrival of Saul in our area last week certainly set the cat amongst the pigeons, lying to rest the assumption of those outside of the non-profit sector that everyone within its ranks were all holding hands and singing in tune. Saul put forward somewhat shocking proposals, including suggesting that some food banks and non-profit organizations need to close or merge. He also suggested that it was necessary, if healthy food was to be prioritized, to refuse nonhealthy foods being dropped off. Finally, it is not unusual to see university professors delivering, anti-capitalist diatribes in lecture halls. Forget activist courts, more worrying was what was seen at the Crystal Palace, with activist education. The line between education and advocacy can be a blurry one. No one here disputes that dividing the children up into groups to represent how unequally the world’s food and resources is divided is an important lesson to learn. There is plenty of statistical data to back this up. It was seeing the children making protest signs and taking to Gore Street East that appeared to cross a line. On the one hand, yes, the students advocated against people going hungry. Like motherhood, who could possibly be opposed to that? Where things get difficult, and what was left unsaid to the students, is just how difficult it is to get there. Raise welfare rates, certainly. But how do you pay for it with the province in debt? Raising the minimum wage is a good idea, but then employers won’t hire as many workers. The message of making the world a more fair ifestyle - I, like and equitable place for all was a good one, and many, did my fair the protest was an intentionally provocative one, share of crabbing to get the young people thinking, and encourage about the long, cold winter. them not to be passive. And “crabbing” and “long, cold” are the mild, “family newspaper” words for how I would describe the season that may have finally left us.

ditorial – Throughout the region last week, it seemed that all anyone could think about was food. No, we did not have a collective case of the munchies but rather, saw an interesting confluence of timing that underlines, in ways both silly and serious, that while there is more than enough food to go around, there is not yet enough of a collective will to see that everyone, literally and figuratively, gets their piece of the pie. Last week was hunger week across the province, with food banks throughout the region holding events. Chief amongst them was The Table Community Food Centre, which hosted author Nick Saul, president and CEO of Community Food Centres Canada. Later in the week, students from three elementary schools gathered at the Crystal Palace to take part in an anti-hunger, anti-poverty protest, organized by The Table. Then it was time for the first-ever Flood of Food, a new food drive organized by the Rotary Club of Perth, to gather goods at schools in Tay Valley and Lanark Highlands townships. The new food drive, which is being helped along by the experienced hands who bring us the Build-aMountain of Food campaign every winter, will help keep shelves stocked in Perth and Lanark during the slower, leaner spring months. The business community, as well as law enforcement and politicians, also took part in McHappy Day, to raise money for area hospitals in Kemptville, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Perth, as well as Ottawa’s Ronald McDonald House. All of this is for the best, but taken all together, underscores the confusing messages that are being sent about how to feed the less fortunate. There is a growing food fight within the food bank community itself, between the more social activist community food centres, like The Table, and the more old-school, non-activist food

ing our new cat Ramsey after we opened the windows wide and let the warm, fresh air burst in. By the end of the day he was exhausted after rushing from window to window to watch squirrels and birds and STEPHANIE GRAY whatever else happened to move. It was a whole new world – with sound, too! Of course now he has a keener interest in escaping to the outdoors and we have to be more vigilant, but we’ve been down that road before. There’s something about a day of fresh air that makes you sleep better, too, and both the cat and I slept soundly after all the excitement. Ramsey wasn’t the only one thrilled by the birds, either. As I hung loads of laundry on the line (finally!) and admired the lilac buds opening (finally!) and raked and cleaned screens and tidied the yard, I saw and heard cardinals, white-crowned sparrows, robins, chickadees, purple finches and American goldfinches. And then, as I was just about to head out in the car on an errand, a slender brown and white bird landed in a tree, commenced to sing opera for two or three minutes, and then flew off. The song was so pretty that I pulled out my phone and recorded it so that (of course), I could send it to my naturalist friends (get ye some!) for identification. It turned out to be a brown thrasher – quite a melodious treat for those of us in town. Fewer chores were completed on Mother’s Day, but just as much time was spent outside. I was treated to lunch at a sugar bush, and while some short people I know frolicked in the playground with Dad (okay, Dad merely supervised the frolicking), I went for a walk in the woods and took pictures of wildflowers and snakes and listened to frogs and birds and felt generally thankful for motherhood, quiet time and – at last – spring.

St. John athletes prepare for LCIAA track and field meet this week Spartan Scene
Community - Last week was Catholic Education Week at St. John. It was a very busy and exciting week. As part of our school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on Mental Health Issues we had a Defeat Depression presentation where several people shared their tragic stories. As part of our schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to Defeat Depression we hosted an Air Bounce day, where we participated in amazing activities such as a Mechanical Bull, and a Bouncy Castle obstacle course. Everyone had lots of fun. And when you add on the Dress Down Day that raised close to $900 for the Defeat Depression
campaign, we had a pretty busy Friday. In the Sports scene, St. John had four soccer teams play in Beckwith for three league teams. On Tuesday, it was the Junior boys who won two and tied one. On Wednesday ,it was the Junior Girls turn to play and they had the same results as the Junior boys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they won two and tied one. On Thursday the Senior Boys played and won one game, lost one game and tied one game. The Senior Girls played Friday and won two games and tied one game. All in all, it was a great couple of days for all our soccer teams. Congratulations guys. This coming week our teams will be playing Carleton Place on Monday, and Smith Falls on
Friday. The Track team will be travelling to Carleton Place to take part in the LCIAA Track & Field Championships. Good luck to all Track team members. We were recently challenged to beat PDCI at raising the most food for the local schoolsFood Drive and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ecstatic to say that we did it!

FIELDWORK on display May 24 pine forest. Made entirely of hardcover books itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shrine to books, celebratory, mournful and thought provoking. Michel Bachelet/Christine Juillard are Zone Vert from Montreal and their sculptural grouping Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Age des Arbres (The Age of Trees) explores into the interplay between the different life stages of trees and the ways in which humans use them. Geoff Wonnacott, from Ottawa, brings a 12 ft high Gordian knot to the Field. The Knot refers to Alexander the Great, Greek mythology and the challenges of undoing the current conundrums that humans now find ourselves trapped within. FIELDWORK aims to illuminate connections between art, nature and human behaviour and invites the public to examine their own response to the work presented and its location. FIELDWORK is a volunteer organized, community resource open to visitors, free of charge, year-round. To get there, the field is across the road from 2501 Old Brooke Road (Near Maberly.

Arts - Artists, not farmers, work in a field west of Perth in Brooke Valley. Every spring a fresh crop of sculptural artworks germinate in this field and spread into the forest. FIELDWORKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh season presents five new works of art in the field. On Saturday afternoon, May 24 from 2 to 4 p.m. FIELDWORK introduces its 2014 artists and their installations. Come and see. Artistic collaborations abound. The common denominator to be found is the artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; consideration of the site as an integral part of their work. Carey Jernigan and John Haney, Toronto based artists, bring the Ghost Barn to the Field - an eight-foot tall, translucent barn, an echo of architecture and lifestyles past. As night falls, the barn glows, ghostly and memorable. Lisa Creskey, artist from Chelsea; Marc Walters, sculptor from Wakefield and Susie Osler, artist, writer and owner of the FIELDWORK field, created Whip-poor-will to investigate a bird often heard but rarely seen.

are to: achieve individual and collective spiritual development; protect the sanctity of life; enhance the role of women in the Church and society; and, contribute to the understanding and growth of religious freedom, social justice, peace and harmony. The strength of the league lies in its local councils and this is especially true of the councils of St. John the Baptist, Perth; Sacred Heart, Lanark; and St. Bridget’s in Stanleyville. Over the past years, CWL councils have supported local food banks, Interval House, The Salvation Army, Dignity House, Birthright, youth programs, as well as many national and international notfor-profit and development organizations. League members have also partnered with students at the Catholic schools on projects such as the birthing kits for Burma. For the past 25 years, The Catholic Women’s League in Perth has spearheaded a campaign to raise awareness of the pervasive influence of pornography in our society. These efforts have led to the formation of an inter-church and community committee currently planning the 2014 “Be Aware Campaign” that will culminate with important public events taking place in October. The league is also presenting a symposium on “The Fundamentals of Mental Health: Signs, Symptoms and Self-care” that will be held on May 29 at St. John Catholic High School from 6 to 9 p.m.

News - “Service and Commitment” are the qualities upon which all volunteer organizations rely. They represent the very best of the human spirit especially when they are given abundantly and for the well-being of others. On April 27, the councils of the Catholic Women’s League (CW) of Lanark, Perth and Stanleyville gathered to recognize the extraordinary service and commitment of its members. Seven women were given special recognition of their service totalling 375 years. Father Brian McNally, pastor of St. John the Baptist Church in Perth, presented years of service pins to: Ethel Day (65 years), Barbara Hendry (60 years), Mary McNamee (60 years) and Mary Watt (50 years), while Mary Arnoldi (50 years), Margaret McMunn (50 years) and Judy Potter (40 years) received their pins from Fr. Aidan Dasaah, pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Lanark and St Bridget’s Church in Stanleyville. The event was a celebration of the values and accomplishments of the League in our communities. The CWL is a lay association of Catholic women with a national membership of just under 90,000 and is a world-wide federation holding membership in the Conference of International Catholic organizations and having consultative status with agencies of The United Nations.

If open burning is allowed, fires should be built on bare soil or on exposed rock. Remove leaves and twigs from around the fire to keep it from spreading.

Season Opener At the start of the BBQ season, do this three-step safety check of your BBQ: 1. Clean: Use a pipe cleaner or wire to ensure burner ports are free of rust, dirt, spider webs or other debris. 2. Check: Examine the hose leading from the tank to the burners. Replace if cracked or damaged. 3. Test: Find leaks by applying a 50/50 solution of water and dish soap to propane cylinder connections and hoses. If bubbles appear, tighten the connection and/or replace the damaged parts and retest.

PDCI athletes making their moves on the track and field circuit By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
Sports - Mathew Ferguson of Perth and District Collegiate Institute has set some records in recent track and field meets. Ferguson won the junior boys high jump in Belleville at the Bay of Quinte Invitational with a jump of 1.83 metres – a new school record. He also won the 100 metre hurdles in 13.70 seconds, setting a new meet record. A new school record for Ferguson was set in the 300 metre hurdles with a time of 41.90. This also broke the meet record. Coach Justin McNamee says Ferguson is “well on his way to earn a medal at the provincial meet later this season after he fell during the finals last year.” Other top guns from PDCI in the field included Abby Brandon with a junior girls shot put first place finish and a second place finish in the javelin. Simon Guthrie was the top junior long jumper. Mikaela Congreves was second in junior girls high jump, and Alex Roberts took second in discus. Becca Fowler, a midget thrower; Vanessa Gray, a senior sprinter and jumper, and Simon Guthrie, a junior long jumper, are other athletes to watch this season.

Not all on board with Smiths Falls arena cost sharing Users requesting transfers to other municipalities for ice season hsorour@perfprint.ca
News – There has been outrage, there have been pleas and there are disappointments. The Smiths Falls recreation cost sharing agreement has finally gone through but not without a lot of pain. Only three of the five neighbouring municipalities have agreed to participate in the cost sharing agreement, two have declined. “Most of our members from these two townships have been inquiring about and/or requesting transfers to neighbouring associations where user fees would be significantly less and/ or non-existent,” Nancy Green, president of the Smiths Falls Minor Hockey Association (SFMHA) told Smiths Falls council on April 28, adding that the usual district transfer fee has been waived. According to Greene, the association is facing the loss of 45 members, along with 13 coaches, managers and volunteers. The loss of players will mean fewer teams but the loss of the adults is also a huge concern because so many of those volunteers were certified by the SFMHA. “We simply do not have the funds within our budget to re-certify new volunteers,” said Greene. The Smiths Falls Girls Hockey Association (SFGHA) has a similar concern, although for them the loss is steeper because girls hockey has free movement anyway. “This will lead to reduced enrollment and put the competitive program at risk. Without a competitive program SFGHA will be unable to attract players from outside of Smiths Falls which in turn will lead to Smiths Falls players leaving for opportunities to play competitive hockey in other communities,” said Steve Doyle, SFGHA president. That reduced enrollment will mean lost revenues to the arena is almost certain, but just how that will impact the town is still unknown. “If users start to decline we will have to monitor that, and we may have to change the hours of operation or find other cost savings,” said Smiths Falls chief administrative officer (CAO), Stephen Fournier.
In the meantime two of the five neighbouring municipalities have declined to participate in the cost sharing agreement. ElizabethtownKitley and Merrickville-Wolford both say they cannot afford to participate in the new cost sharing agreement. “The bottom line is it’s a huge increase,” said Merrickville-Wolford Mayor Doug Struthers. All five neighbouring municipalities have had cost sharing arrangements with Smiths Falls for decades. Both Merrickville-Wolford and Elizabethtown-Kitley were contributing about $8,000 a year indexed to inflation. Under the new cost sharing agreement, Merrickville-Wolford would be required to contribute $16,461 in 2014 ramping up to $27,328 by 2016 while Elizabethtown Kitley would be looking at $24,429 by 2016. According to Elizabethtown-Kitley Mayor Jim Pickard, that cost comes in addition to a cost sharing agreement with Athens that works out to $100 per child, and another informal arrangement with Brockville where most of his residents go, of a flat $20,000 a year. So $316 per child to enter into the agreement with Smiths Falls was a bit steep. “It was higher than other municipalities – it was very high,” said Yvonne Robert, clerk with Elizabethtown-Kitley, who sat in on all the discussions over the past two years. According to Struthers, the presentation of the cost sharing agreement seemed pretty well set in stone. “This was not a negotiation, it was either pay in or pay user fees. There was no negotiation of the numbers,” said Struthers. Although both those municipalities opted out, they are making some effort to help their residents deal with the user fee. “We’ve had to make some difficult decisions and we’ve decided to subsidize our youth only,” said Pickard. There, council has agreed to pay $100 per registered youth directly to residents. Meanwhile in Merrickville-Wolford, a $9,000 fund has been set aside in the budget for a potential program. “There are dollars in the budget and at the appropriate time council will have a conversa-
tion about an assistance program,” said Struthers. “We will also keep in mind that comments have been made that should we have a program it should include seniors.” Both non-signing municipalities also cited decreased provincial funding and climbing police costs that have put considerable pressure on their finances. However the fact remains that Townships of Rideau Lakes, Drummond/North Elmsley and Montague have all opted to share the costs. “It wasn’t a hard sell. We had asked for numbers and Smiths Falls brought forward the numbers, so all we’re doing is sharing the cost,” said Montague Reeve Bill Dobson. On that note, Montague is contributing $40,499 this year, up from $36,113 last year and increasing to $49,273 by 2016. Rideau Lakes, which contributed $70,000 last year will pay $78,552 this year, moving up to $95,648 by 2016; while lastly, Drummond/North Elmsley will contribute $24,777 this year up from $19,568 last year, to hit $35,195 by 2016. At its simplest, the calculation for the cost sharing agreement was reached by dividing the base operating costs by the number of winter ice registrants. “The numbers exclude the principal and interest borrowed to build the facility and some of the overhead costs,” said Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples and that according to him, was deliberate since the town owns the facilities. The total cost of operating the two arenas is at $717,153 per year according to the report tabled by Fournier. Knock out the annual debt and interest payments of $196,437 and remove $160,653 in administrative and management costs and you’re left with $414,063. The cost sharing agreements and the user fees simply take the $414,063 divided by the number of winter ice users to arrive at $316.80 per user. “The numbers represent a reasonable and equitable sharing of the costs of those two arenas and I thought everyone would be on board,” said Staples, adding that he’s personally disappointed that Merrickville-Wolford and Elizabethtown-Kitley have decided not to participate.

UCDSB sports fields set to reopen this week News - Sports fields at schools throughout the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) will remain closed for after-school sporting events until May 15, 2014 to “maintain their quality and avoid the need for maintenance closures later in sports season,” Jeremy Hobbs, chief information and facilities officer, said.
The decision to preserve sports fields will mean a short delay in their use after school hours by public and school sports teams. Recess activities at schools will not be affected. The decision to delay after school use of school sports fields is due to the wet and unusually cool spring weather. Use of the fields too early can result in
damage which will affect their quality throughout the remainder of the spring, summer and fall. “We want to give our sports fields adequate time to dry and grow so that they will be in the best possible shape for play,” said Hobbs. “In the past, community groups have expressed concern about the condition of fields in the peak of the
Congratulations to the new owners of
season and though the fields may now appear dry, we need to give the grass some time to take root to ensure safe, playable conditions later this summer. The facilities department will continue to monitor each situation, however we have every confidence that the majority of our sports fields will be available for after school use by May 15.”
Sports - The Men’s Tuesday Twilight League started last Tuesday and was sponsored by John Brankin and Brankin Plumbing and Heating.

LOCAL NEWS SOLDIER ON From front page
David Johnston at the National Day of Honour ceremony on Parliament Hill May 9, stopping at several communities along the way. Relay organizer Maj. Jay Feyko conceived the idea of the relay as “a way to thank Canadians for their incredible support throughout the Afghanistan mission.” He added that it will also “pay respect to the fallen and the sacrifices of a Nation, and raise awareness of the ‘Soldier On’ initiative”. On arrival at the Crystal Palace townhosted ceremony, the relay team passed through an honour guard of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps, Lanark 211, and into an enthusiastic and constantly swelling crowd. The event was also supported locally by Branch 244 of the Royal Canadian Legion and the Ontario Provincial Police. Brigadier-General Mark Matheson, from National Defence Headquarters, Ottawa, began the ceremony by reminding those gathered to affirm the commitment to the remembrance of those who died in the line of duty. “It also underscores our continued commitment to provide quality care and support for those who were injured or became ill as a result of the mission,” Matheson said, who noted that, while he was appearing there in his dress uniform, “I must confess to feeling a bit out of place.” He went on to say that “in Afghanistan, it didn’t matter if you were Army, Navy, or Air Force, we all wore ‘Arid Camouflage’. One team – one mission. Your relay is an expression of the same fighting spirit each of you demonstrated in Afghanistan. To me, you represent the best of what it means to be Canadian. You symbolize resiliency; you symbolize courage; and you symbolize perseverance.” Matheson added that the relay event “affirms our commitment to never forget those who died in the line of duty. It also underscores our continued commitment to provide quality care and support for those who were injured or became ill as a result of the mission. We will never be able to do enough to fully compensate them for their sacrifice, but, just as in Afghanistan – we will do all we can.” Information from organizers indicates that, “since October, 2001, more than 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members and Other Government Department (OGD) representatives served in Afghanistan making it the largest deployment with Canadian
involvement since the Second World War. Many CAF members were injured physically and mentally while conducting military operations, and 158 paid the ultimate sacrifice.” It was apparent when Perth Mayor John Fenik stood at the podium inside a Crystal Palace filled with military and Perth citizenry, that emotions were coming to the surface for all. Fenik reminded everyone that “there are dark places in the world. War-torn countries, where, the thought of visiting these lands would make most of us shudder. Yet as part of NATO, when our Canadian Armed Forces are called to serve in these dangerous places, they do so without hesitation.” Fenik stressed that the wounded veterans of the Afghanistan there today had put themselves in harm’s way and had served with “honour, and courage and distinction.” After thanking the relay team as Mayor of the Town of Perth, and on behalf of the council and citizens, Fenik told them: “You are the best of the best, the bravest of the brave, and you will never be forgotten.” If those in attendance had any doubts about the reason for the event, and the significance of the ceremony honouring those taking part, Soldier On Afghanistan Relay organizer Major Jay Feyko was able to dispel those doubts with a few well-chosen words about the reality of the Afghanistan war. Feyko mentioned he was speaking from a unique perspective and that “becoming a wounded soldier is not sought by anyone.” He stated that he was humbled by the opportunity to pass on thanks for the support of Canadians over the 12year duration of the Afghanistan mission. A heart-rending narrative of Feyko’s personal catastrophic event followed: “Ten years ago this past January, to say I had a very bad day is an understatement. My bad day is different, yet similar, to the bad days that each of my ill and injured peers have experienced. The one common thread is that a traumatic event has changed us and impacted our families, our friends, and our lives will never be the same again. “My bad day involved a suicide bomber detonating approximately four metres from my right side leaving me with multiple shrapnel wounds, blind in my right eye and killing my signaler, Corporal Jamie Murphy.” Murphy had been slated to return home from Afghanistan in a month’s time. “From my experience, the road to recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration is more like finding your way down

Students from Queen Elizabeth school gathered at Crystal Palace to say farewell to the soldiers. an unmarked trail in the dark”, Feyko continued. “It can be a very frightening, frustrating, challenging, and a very overwhelming experience.” Feyko explained that those with injuries have to “accept our new normal,” and have the courage to take the road to recovery with the support of family, friends, and fellow Canadians, while reminding us that “a responsibility remains to ensure that those ill and injured going through similar challenges, either mental or physical, know that they are not alone.”
BBD&E Station 14 Sherbrooke St. E Perth, Ontario
Feyko also pointed out the significance of the Inukshuk, a model of which was presented to Fenik for the citizens of Perth, in that it has the “meaning of helping others navigate and survive the harsh and desolate Arctic. It is chosen to represent ‘Soldier On’ because it is symbolic of the journey to recovery and it reminds us of our responsibilities to invest our efforts today, to direct a better way for all of us tomorrow. Each stone is a separate entity, yet each supports, and is supported by the one above and the one below it. No one piece is any more
or any less important than the other. Its strength lies in its unity.” After being presented the Inukshuk gift, Fenik vowed it would be displayed in a prominent place in the Town Hall, so that all citizens of Perth and area will be able to view it. An adage from the great Winston Churchill came to mind on that evening there in Perth’s Crystal Palace, listening to a few gifted orators: “We sleep soundly in our beds, because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.”

New program gets some added ‘pep’ from Town & Country Chrysler Brad Kyle for the use of a van and he was only too happy to help. “I believe you have to give back to your community every day, every week and every month of the year,” he noted. “Seniors are a very important part of our community. They are the founders and builders of the community. Everyone needs a break and it’s an important program, so I thought ‘why not?’” Kyle said PEP will have the use of the van for as long as they need it, as he believes seniors need to be supported. “My mother is 85-years-old and my wife’s parents are in their late 80s and as people get older, there is less support and help. There’s a tendency by culture to forget about older folks. I never forget about them and it makes me feel good to be able to give,” he remarked. For more information about the Perth Enrichment Program, visit morepep.ca.

Community – Local seniors can now feel more involved in their community thanks to Town & Country Chrysler’s donation of a van to the Perth Enrichment Program (PEP) for Older Adults. The donation was recognized May 7 at Town & Country Chrysler in Smiths Falls with PEP representatives and local seniors in attendance. PEP, which recently opened its location in Perth in the Elliot Street Clinic on May 1, received the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT several weeks ago and is already seeing the benefits. “It allows us to take older adults from both Smiths Falls and Perth, the rural areas, to our day program in Perth,” explained program co-ordinator Katherine Finner. The day program, established in April, was created for older adults who are living independently and provides them with a social setting to be with peers and respite for their caregivers. A number of activities are offered, including day trips, a gardening program, exercise and fall prevention training, nutritional assessment program, as well as fitness and healthy living. “We are focused on four pillars: cognitive, physical, social and nutritional,” said PEP’s Theresa Gorman. “…We also utilize a lot of word and language exercises and critical thinking.” The program, serving Smiths Falls, Perth and Lanark areas, currently runs two full days, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and are in the middle of introducing a Friday men’s program: Friday Fellows, set to launch May 23. To offer these activities, PEP needed a way to shuttle older adults to and from their homes. They approached Town & Country Chrysler owner

Car owner discusses two very different Plymouths 20 years apart Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Keith Simpson of Moncton, New Brunswick, writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Bill. My first car was a 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe 4-door sedan with only 34,000 miles on it when I acquired it in 1968. It had apparently been won in a CNR raffle and kept by its original owner until a friend of mine bought it in 1967 with only 29,000 miles. He was leaving for university on the west coast and let me have it for only $210. I returned to school a few months later and sold it for $265.â&#x20AC;? These cars were big and boxy but very comfortable, and reflected the thinking of Chrysler president K. T. Keller, who insisted a car should have enough head room for a man to wear a hat while driving. A DeSoto of similar vintage was road tested by a car magazine of that day. It was â&#x20AC;&#x153;as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar, and just about as fast.â&#x20AC;? Keithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Plymouth had a six cylinder engine with 218 cubes and 95 horsepower. In the fall of 1971, Keith purchased his 1969 Plymouth Road Runner for $2,200. A nurse had bought it new. The Road Runner was built for only three years (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;68 to â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70) and, as the name implies, was adorned with cartoon-bird decals and a horn that went â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beep! Beep!â&#x20AC;? It came as a plain no-frills hardtop or coupe but with lots of muscle under the hood. Standard was a 383 cubic inch V8 boasting 335 horsepower.
And if that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough get-up-andgo, you could order the optional 426 cubic inch V8 with 425 horsepower, more than four times the power Keith had in his â&#x20AC;&#x2122;49 sedan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sold my VW to a friend,â&#x20AC;? recalls Keith, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and bought the Road Runner because I wanted it and also for a trip to Regina for a brief engagement with the RCMP. The following year, I became a distribution clerk at Chryslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atlantic Zone office, where I just happened to find an original 1969 Belvedere/ Satellite/Road Runner brochure. I was with Chrysler again in Windsor when they acquired AMC Jeep from Renault. In total, I was involved with Jeep for ten years and left Windsor to join Jaguar Canada in Toronto for the final 16 years of my corporate career.â&#x20AC;? Keithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2122;49 Plymouth and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;69 Road Keith Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low-mileage 1949 Plymouth sedan.

LYME DISEASE AWARENESS: Know the Bug, Know the bite, Know what to do Look For Ticks:
Check Your Ticks: *NOT ALL TICKS CARRY THE LYME DISEASE BACTERIA
` When hiking or walking in natural
areas. ` Ticks are more visible on light colours and harder to attach on clothing. ` Insect repellants with DEET also provide protection. Follow directions for use. ` After being outdoors, c heck for ticks and have someone else check your back. A quick shower may help too.
Know The Symptoms:
size exaggerated for illustration
Unfed Tick
Fed (engorged) Tick
` If the tick on your body looks like the unfed tick, it
means it was probably attached for less than 24 hours. This is not enough time for the bacteria to transfer. ` If the tick on your body looks like the fed (engorged) tick, it probably has been attached longer and may have transferred the bacteria. Consult your doctor.
` A bulls-eye rash may be present around the bite.
` Other symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue or muscle/ joint pain. These may disappear, but if left untreated, Lyme disease can progress. ` Consult your doctor if you are developing symptoms.

The US bulletin Matthew mentioned also applies to Canadian vehicles. When he forwarded his vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serial number to me, a contact at an area Honda dealer confirmed that his Civic falls within the VIN (vehicle ID number) range specified in this bulletin which recommends engine piston and ring replacement to resolve excessive oil consumption. The key words in this document can also be found in warranty guides and ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; manuals for just about any carmakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s product; excessive oil consumption. Every auto manufacturer has its own notion of what an acceptable level of oil consumption is. It is this spec that determines whether or not any action is taken to rectify a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern. While there
is some slight variance among different makes, a consumption rate of around 1 L/1,800 km is usually considered â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. If you think that with advancements in materials and assembly processes should almost eliminate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oil-burnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from our roads, a move by most carmakers to lighter and thinner engine oil seems to be threatening that perceived trend. Matthewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Honda runs on 0W20 (very light) oil and Honda has plans to introduce a lighter 0W16 weight in the near future. Auto makers (not just Honda) are making this move to improve fuel mileage ratings as thinner oils produce less resistance on internal moving engine parts thereby lowering their fuel needs ever so slightly. As Matthew has calculated his Civicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consumption rate to be around 3,000 km/L, it is unlikely Honda would normally approve any repairs. But his vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rate would run the engine oil reservoir dry between 6,000 km service intervals if the oil wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t checked and topped up. Combine this with the fact that most properly designed and built engines donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consume any appreciable amount of oil, then

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to understand Matthewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustration. I would recommend he take the matter up with his dealershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner before forwarding a letter to Honda Canada. The dealer may be able to convince Honda to authorize the bulletinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repair. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely Honda or the dealership would want to end up in arbitration or court over this as the bulletin itself is an admission that there is a problem with these engines. For the rest of us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lesson never to take a crucial item such as proper engine oil level for granted.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello, I just read a recent article of yours; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Burning oil not an issue to take lightlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and find myself in a situation where my 2012 Honda Civic Si has been â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;usingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; oil since it was brand new (bought new November 2011). I first noticed it when I got back from a highway trip and checked the oil for the first time at 4,500 km. I understand I should have checked it earlier, but it was a brand new car. The oil was at the bottom dipstick mark. I purchased some 0W20 weight synthetic oil and topped it off (1 litre) hoping this was not going to be a recurring issue. I was wrong. At 6,400 km, my Honda dealer did the first oil change and I, for some reason, thought this would help. By the time it hit 11,700 km it had lost another litre. It was time for a schedule B maintenance and at this time I mentioned my concerns, they suggested an oil consumption test and to bring it in every 1,500 km for a top off and recording. At 13,346 km Honda added 1/2 L, at 14,810 km it was down 1 L. I brought it in again at 16,447 and they added 0.65 L. The next time I brought it in was at 19,400 km and it was down 1 L. Basically it is using about 1/2 a litre every 1,500 km, and as your article stated I am not satisfied with this. I will follow Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules and wait to complete the consumption test. I just want my Honda to be a Honda, reliable and not using oil. The interesting thing is I found a Honda America Service Bulletin 12069 applying to 2012 Honda Civic Si with specific VIN numbers for excessive engine oil consumption. This service bulletin outlines the procedure for replacing all the engine pistons and piston rings for a symptom of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The engine oil level is low on the dipstick, and the low oil pressure

Paying tribute to all those talented, supportive musical moms out there Lifestyle – I’m writing this on Mother’s Day, the day originally created in 1908 when Anna Jarvis held a memorial in Grafton, West Virginia, to honour her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, who had been a peace activist and helped wounded soldiers from both sides of the Civil War. Upon her mother’s death in 1905, Anna first worked on a campaign to have all mothers and motherhood celebrated. She held her first in 1908 and, thanks to her efforts, in 1910 her home West Virginia state officially recognized Mother’s Day. A few more states joined in and in 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May a national holiday. As I think back to my now deceased grandmothers and mother in law, my still going strong own mother Margaret, my wife Susan, all my friends who are mothers, I know this should not be just a day, but rather an ongoing celebration for all they’ve done and continue to do for the rest of us. Due to this honouring time, I can’t help but reflect on some memorable “Musical Mom Moments” I’ve witnessed and remembered recently. The most recent was at the wonderful Grassroots Festival, held in the Montgomery Legion on Kent Street in Ottawa last month, where I watched several mom’s pride radiate, smiles beaming forth on their faces as their children performed in a choir called Sparrows, led by musician Chris White. These young kids are home schooled and gain their musical train-
ing via the Ottawa Folklore Centre (OFC) where Chris meets and leads them in song. I don’t know who was having more fun – Chris or the kids. As they worked through their short set it was terrific seeing these youngsters start off so shy, like ‘deer in the headlights’ on stage before a full house and, as each song progressed, their confidence aided by the supportive crowd, they’d each step up and begin to put their all into it, each in their own time. Oh, how those moms glowed, even more than the kids, I’m sure. The next “mom thing” I witnessed actually was on the same evening where The Monroe Sisters performed next. This five-piece bluegrass group features Pat Moore, a country singing legend in the Ottawa Valley, playing guitar and voice; her daughter Kate Greenland, who’s grown up in a bluegrass family, and been taught mandolin by her bluegrass musician father, Garry. Youthful Kate provides most of the lead vocals as well as most of the banter between tunes. Sherry Philp plays banjo and provides mostly harmony, showing why she’s won Best Singer five years running and Best Banjo in 2012. Sherry also plays in Concession 23. Fiddler Elizabeth Foster Weatherall hails from the East Coast, teaches fiddle at the OFC and provides some vocals while her double bass playing husband Brent Fraser Weatherall slips in some vocals as well. As I sat in the front row enjoying the show, I could catch the various emotions cross the face of “Mother
Pat” as she backed Kate. Pride shone via gushing smiles, sometimes silently mouthing the words Kate sang, as if in support. Pat’s eyes screamed encouragement, as if ‘willing’ Kate along, all the while skillfully holding up her own guitar and vocal parts. Pat’s teaching and mother loving support obviously have stuck because she has good reason to be proud as Kate further develops her chops. Pat, you’ve got good reason to be one proud mom. While watching the elder generation encourage a younger generation along, I was reminded of watching the group Prescott in 2009 at one of Jenny Whiteley’s Elphinfest – Roots Festivals. Onstage were Kelly and Kaylen Prescott, adult children of Tracey Brown and Randall Prescott – longtime country music veterans who had a long running TV show and toured North America and Europe, The Family Brown. Mom Tracey and dad Randall were also onstage providing backup for their kids that day. Tracey had grown up behind a microphone, first appearing at 10 years of age with Family Brown. I remember watching as mom Tracey provided subtle prodding to a nervous and
slightly shy daughter Kelly, encouraging when to step up and provide intro-patter to their songs from a new CD they’d just recorded. As Kaylen and Kelly’s confidence noticeably grew throughout the show, it was sweet watching Tracey beam with pride, smiling from ear to ear. I’m sure Randall was doing the same but he was pretty busy playing harp and some mandolin. The group Prescott has since evolved into The Claytones, with Kelly, her husband Adam Puddington on double bass and vox, Anders Drerup on guitar, vox and recently adding guitar and mandolin player, Pat McLaughlin. Kaylen now spends much of his time writing, filming and producing music and music videos for Rip Roar Music. Just last year, my far better half and I also felt that proud parent feeling as we watched our son, Lucas, provide backup on guitars for singer Tracy Noonan. Lucas has always been a closet guitarist so we rarely heard him and since he’s moved out on his own, like mother Pat and mother Tracey, we, too, beamed with pride to hear the skills he’d developed. What a wonderful feeling. Upcoming events Look out Fredheads! The Fred Eaglesmith Travelling Steam Show is set for Thursday, June 5 at the Carleton Place Town Hall, in aide of the Lanark Animal Welfare Society. Yes, it’s true! Anyone who loves Fred Eaglesmith and his music (usually become known as Fredheads) will be
able to attest to the drawing force of his songs. A songwriter’s songwriter – his always gritty vocals backed by his stellar musicians offer up song after self-written song that never cease to captivate audiences. Last year, this major road dog and Juno Award winner played more than 270 shows throughout North America. Eaglesmith’s songwriting has earned him multiple International awards and his songs have been covered by some of the biggest names in Nashville, including Toby Keith, Alan Jackson and Miranda Lambert. His music has been featured in films and television scores including those of True Blood and Grimm. Fred and his band have also performed as the musical guest on Late Show With David Letterman. This past year has also seen the launch of a highly successful musical theatre production, Dear Johnny Deere inspired by and based on Fred’s songs that played the last couple of years at the Blyth Theatre, the Charlottetown Theatre and the Lighthouse Theatre in Port Dover. They also plan to have a pie auction during the concert to support Operation Smile during the June 5 event. Tickets for the concert are available at Read’s Book Shop on Bridge Street in Carleton Place and can also be purchased online at Fred’s website: www.fredeaglesmith.com.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.
This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability
of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.
Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.
If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at
megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694
Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Latest frat film hits new low for boredom MOVIE: Neighbors STARRING: Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zach Efron and Dave Franco DIRECTOR: Nicholas Stoller RATING: 18A Arts – When a movie like Neighbors is this bad you want someone to blame. You want to walk up to Seth Rogen and demand your money back, or kick him in the shin. This one’s so bad he might even let you. Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly (Rose Byrne) have bought their first house. They’ve just had their first child, and like all new parents they’re doing their best to figure it all out. Life isn’t easy, but it’s good until the house next door is sold to a fraternity. The fraternity is led by Teddy (Zach Efron) and his vice president Pete (Dave Franco). They aren’t just a party house they’re the party house. Teddy’s whole goal is to throw a party so extraordinary he goes down in history as a party legend. This is great news if you’re attending college with Teddy. This is lousy news if you are living next door to Teddy with a newborn. The relationship between the two neighbours quickly deteriorates with Mac and Kelly doing everything they can to get rid of the fraternity, and Teddy and Pete retaliating in kind. Eventually things get out of hand, and you’re left wondering how to find Seth Rogen, and just how hard to kick him. I’m willing to bet that on paper Neighbors was hilarious. I’m willing to bet that while they were filming it they thought it hilarious. I’ll bet it wasn’t until they saw the finished product that they realized they had a

steaming pile of awful, but by then it was too late. Even when you think all the pieces are there, good comedy can still elude you. Sometimes it doesn’t work, and Neighbors doesn’t work. I could easily point out that Zach Efron and Dave Franco are so over the top they skip being funny and go right to being ludicrous with a hint of sadness. I could point out that Seth Rogen phoned in his performance, and the film would have been better served by a cardboard cutout version of him. Then there’s Rose Byrne. I have no idea what she was doing. All of these things are true, but the worse crime Neighbors makes is that it’s boring. A film can do a lot of things, but it should never bore you. This film was so tired and predictable I knew the gags and the lines before they happened. This film doesn’t put a new twist on the college frat film, it buries it so no one will ever want to make another one. I will give Seth Rogen credit for trying to warn us. I saw him in an interview talking about how awkward it would be to lie to his fans, and pump a film he didn’t think was funny. He went on to say how ‘grateful’ he was he didn’t have to do that for Neighbors, but you knew what he really meant. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.
Fifty voices at Full Circle Theatre this weekend Arts – Perth’s Full Circle Theatre hosts its first choral event on Saturday, May 17, as the combined voices of the Tay Valley Community Choir and the Rosedale Singers present Songs From The War Years. The two community-based choral groups bring nearly 50 voices together and the result, in the warm and intimate atmosphere of the Full Circle Theatre (FCT), should be memorable. Under the direction of Grace Armstrong, the choirs will take listeners on a tour of the wellknown, as well as some of the lesser known songs of the 40s and earlier, from A Nightin-
gale Sang (In Berkeley Square) to Lilli Marlene and many more. Guest conductor Janice Jacklin will also pick up the baton on a few of the numbers, with accompanists Richard Bird and Pamela Newton providing the instrumental background. Master of ceremonies, Bill Widenmaier, will keep things flowing smoothly, as the audience are given an opportunity, not only to listen, but to join in on some of the numbers. In view of this week’s Day of Honour commemorating the Afghan War and the 100th anniversary this summer of the beginning of the First World War, it
will be an especially poignant evening, but one filled with memories and great music. The concert begins at 7 p.m. at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre (26 Craig Street) by Last Duel Park. Admission is by donation at the door. FCT has hosted musical events before, ranging from single folk artists to full-on musicals, but this first choral event in the ground-level, barrierfree theatre will be a memorable joining of the warm atmosphere of the space and the full sound of 50 voices raised together. Come and join us! Submitted by the Full Circle Theatre.

CONSIDERING SELLING YOUR HOME? If you’re selling a home there’s a lot to be done and a lot to know. For example, you want to present your home in its best light so that you can realize its full value. But do you really have to renovate the kitchen—or will simply painting it do? What is your house really worth? Do you have to include all your fixtures in the deal? Should you accept a low bid—or wait for a better offer? There are countless questions when it comes to selling a house, and your REALTOR® can help you with the answers. They do the homework so that you can achieve the best possible outcome.

rhymes and songs). • Talk to your child! The more parents talk to their children, the more their children learn about language. Children learn more easily when the talk is directed to them (rather than hearing two adults talk to each other). Get face to face when you are talking to your child! Remember that talking can happen almost anywhere, anytime (e.g., in the car, at the store, in the bath, while getting ready for bed). Children learn best when they are interested, engaged and involved. Talk about what your child enjoys or finds interesting. Listen with genuine interest. Comment, encourage, expand, clarify and explain. If you are concerned about your child’s speech and language development, call the Language Express Preschool Speech System at 1-888-503-8885/613283-2742. A speech-language assessment can identify your child’s strengths and needs, and can help you prepare your child for success in communicating, reading and writing.

Dogs Astro Ask him to “follow that scent” and this playful Beagle mix will gladly oblige, nose close to the ground and tail high in the air. With his golden brown head and trim blacksplashed, white body, 1.5-yearold Astro is a study in contrasts: as sweet natured and gentle as he is vocal and energetic. He walks well on leash and although he loves to run, he also has good off-leash recall. Happy and outgoing, this little cutie is quite the character and quite the cuddler, who eagerly wears his big heart on his small doggy sleeve. He may not know any of his basic commands just yet, but he
Lifestyle – Children are developing speech and language skills from birth. Your child should: • Say three to five words by her first birthday; • Use 100 to 150 words and combine two or more words (e.g. “Mommy up”) by age two; • Use four to seven words in a sentence (e.g. “I want my red ball.”) by age three; • Use adult-type grammar and keep a conversation going on the same topic for three turns by age four. What can you do to help your child: • Play with your child! Preschool children are active learners and learn many things during play. They can act out new roles, make up stories, negotiate game rules, and practice new ways of saying things. • Read with your child every day! Reading together should be fun. Reading can help your children learn many important things (facts about the world, information about what people do and why they do it, new words and sentence forms, how to construct stories,

Improved technology helps enhance opportunities for teachers, students News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held May 6 at the board office in Kemptville. The board has been using various communications technology supports to enhance experiences for both students and administrators. These tools help to not only bridge the geographical gap for educator and administrator collaborative sharing, but also enrich educational experiences for students by making technological upgrades and support more easily managed. Superintendent of school effectiveness, Tom Jordan, introduced a team from the information and communications technology (ICT) department including James Proulx, ICT manager, Peter Spears, ICT assistant manager, David Kozera, supervisor of ICT systems, and Ken Konink, supervisor of ICT support. The two programs the team currently employs are Instaconnect and Microsoft Lync. The team demonstrated these software programs during the presentation, with Spears and Konink appearing virtually on screen from a different location in the building.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instaconnect allows ICT support services to assist via remote locations,â&#x20AC;? explained Kozera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tool facilitates a simple connection between two computers, and allows the technical support to take control of the remote computer.â&#x20AC;? The program is extremely helpful for troubleshooting and solving computer issues from remote locations, and has helped to centralize technical support services. Technicians are able to address issues remotely using these tools, which has resulted in shorter service and response times, and reduce cost to the board. Lync, a conferencing and collaboration software tool, was used to allow for the virtual portion of the presentation. The program is used on a regular basis to facilitate virtual meetings in a seamless platform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our department (ICT), we have weekly meetings with all 16 staff virtually,â&#x20AC;? clarified Proulx. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program is like a phone system built into a computer, with video capabilities. At any point throughout the meeting, you can start recording, which is great when there are members of the team who cannot be present.â&#x20AC;? Lync can help to bring togeth-
er groups more frequently, and save costs for the board. Presentation slides can be imported and displayed for the virtual meeting attendees. The department is also currently completing wide area network upgrades for the six remaining schools, who will receive them by the end of the school year. In addition, 11 elementary schools have received upgrades to school laptops, which now run on the new Windows 8.1 operating system, and have had Office 2013 installed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has positive benefits for login times and better roaming profiles, giving students the tools they need,â&#x20AC;? explained Kozera. Director of education, Bill Gartland, commented that the technology has already proven to be very useful in bringing groups from the various regions of the board together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be increasingly easier to use this technology, and have more participants for various events and presentations. The technology is very innovative, and a great asset to the board,â&#x20AC;? he said.
ous mission trip experiences to international destinations. This year, 15 staff and students from the Cornwall area Catholic secondary schools (St. Matthew CSS, Holy Trinity CSS, and St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CSS) travelled to the Dominican Republic to carry out missionary work, and to gain a greater understanding of life in a developing nation, as well as to reach out in service to others. Principal of religious and family life education, Jim Roberts, introduced the group of eleven students and four staff members who participated in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
trip, which was based at the NPH (Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos) Orphanage of Casa Santa Ana. The orphanage is home to over 250 orphaned, abandoned and/ or at-risk children, ranging in age from newborns to young adults. Each participant gave their own account of their enriching experiences and discussed how the journey was an excellent opportunity to reach out and help those in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We developed such a deep connection with the NPH family,â&#x20AC;? explained Deanna Fraser, a student from Holy Trinity CSS.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;These children showed us that you must always have hope. Everything is, and will continue to be okay, because God has a plan.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the most memorable moments for me was the time spent at the baby house. The children would sit down, brush our hair, and play with our hair,â&#x20AC;? noted Emily Stang, a student from St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CSS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The caretakers at the orphanage taught the children to share and appreciate each other.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This year during the parent symposium held during Catholic Education Week on Saturday, May 3 at St. James Catholic School in Smiths Falls, the theme was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Serving in the love of Christâ&#x20AC;?. Parents, teachers and community partners gathered to listen to Dr. Tracy Vallancourt, research chair in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental health and violence prevention at the University of Ottawa. After the keynote participants were invited to attend two breakout sessions given by our community partners to wrap up the morning. This was a joint effort between four area schools: St. James, St. Luke, St. Francis and St. Joseph Toledo.

REGIONAL NEWS CDSBEO From page 49
Because of NPH they were happy, and they were capable of loving and caring for complete strangers.” Each of the participants had adopted a child for a year, prior to travelling to the orphanage. Fr. Jacques Labelle, who attended the trip as a chaperone, reflected on his experience: “I ate lunch each day with 18 boys, one of whom was my adopted child. Every day there was something new they wanted to show, something new they wanted to try. The experience allowed me to grow personally as a priest; it was an amazing opportunity to grow with them, and to learn with them.” Gordie Van Putten, chaplaincy leader at Holy Trinity CSS and the trip’s lead organizer, and Angela Pilon, an education assistant at Holy Trinity, thanked the board for their ongoing support of mission experiences, and presented to the board a memento from the trip as a token of their appreciation. Technology enriches learning experiences for exceptional students Over the past two years, iPads have been introduced in CDSBEO classrooms to students with specialized needs. The intuitive nature of the iPad, as well as the vast array of available apps, have resulted in an explosion of learning success stories. Students who
were once reluctant or unable to engage in traditional learning activities have enthusiastically reengaged using the iPad. Superintendent of school effectiveness, Donaleen Hawes, introduced to the board, Matt Hubbard, co-ordinator of assistive technology and Jameson Lee, assistive technology teacher, who provided a demonstration of some of the special tools and apps currently being utilized by students in the specialized special education program classes. “The educational landscape is changing rapidly, and as educators we recognize that our students are unique, and that their learning needs are also unique,” explained Lee. “To allow our exceptional students to reach their potential, it is important to make them excited about learning, to help them be more engaged. We have been fortunate to have the use of the iPad in our classrooms.” The team shared video clips and examples of student success, including students from our board’s Partners program and Turning Points program, which have seen have seen extraordinary benefits from incorporating the iPad technology. For example, one student, who struggled with organizing ideas, and who required structured support, was able to use the InstaCollage app to help complete an assignment. The iPad allowed the learner to use the camera to take photos, use the app to organize the pho-
tos into a collage/storyboard, and finally, use the text to speech capability of the iPad to label each image; something which under traditional methods, would be extremely difficult for this learner. “In our Turning Points program, our goal was to reinforce positive peer interaction,” explained Hubbard. “The students were tasked with storyboarding, and creating an iMovie which outlined the story of their relationship and personalities. This was done very successfully.” The thousands of apps available to students allows educators to service different needs, and allows students to learn in a way which helps them to feel successful. As they become more engaged and accomplish new tasks, their joy for learning improves, as does their communication and critical thinking skills. Interim financial report Manager of finance, Ashley Hutchinson, provided the second interim financial report covering the period from Sept. 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 with comparative figures for September 2012 to March 2013. Hutchinson shared a summary of the financial results and provided details of the accumulated surplus. The report also highlighted the non-financial indicators including summary of enrolment and summary of staffing. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.
The path to vitality
I panicked...
My hair was thinning! For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource.
C
hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”
Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,
which made me realize that it was special.”
Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.
DID YOU KNOW? Grey hairs can begin to appear due to a lack of copper in your diet. Hair Volume™ tablets contain copper, which affects melanin production to help avoid grey hairs.
YOUR HAIR TABLET Hair Volume™ nourishes the hair roots with nutrients like biotin, zinc, b-vitamins and horsetail, all important for healthy hair. Hair Volume also contains procynidin B2 found in apples, which has shown to benefit hair follicle activity. Available at participating pharmacies and health food stores.

Rideau Valley Conservation Authority offers new funding available to farmers ers can receive funding to support up to 90 per cent of project costs and receive grants of up to $7,500. The RVRCWP, a grant and technical assistance program, has been operating since 2002 and has provided nearly $900,000 in funding to more than 600 projects across the Rideau Valley Water-
shed. Its success can be credited to the individual landowners undertaking these great projects, and to the many generous sponsors that have supported the program over the years. New funding categories being introduced in 2014 include tile drainage control structures, cover crops, manure storage/treatment and
land retirement performance incentives. These categories will supplement existing projects, including livestock fencing along waterways, clean water diversion, nutrient management plans, surface/ wastewater treatment and disposal, well decommissioning/upgrades/replacement and many more.

It promised to be the fastest race yet due to the large volume of water pouring through town after a long, snowy winter. Above, Duke and little brother Devlin Payne are all smiles as they check out the treat table at the Carleton Place Canoe Club fundraiser.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The next meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society is at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95 at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, May 20. This month we have a unique speaker and topic. We have the pleasure of a welcoming Miki Mitchell. Miki first studied Sogetsu School Ikebana in 1976 in Japan. She now teaches this Japanese art of flower arrangement in various locations in Ottawa. There is plenty of information on the Internet including the following: http:// www.ikebanahq.org/whatis.php. The designs are extremely exquisite so you will definitely want to come out to hear Miki. Our April photo contest winners were: Christy Melvin and Anneke Phillips tied for first and Jane Turpin, second. The theme for May is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Developmentâ&#x20AC;? and June is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Introduction to Springâ&#x20AC;?. We are going to have another fun flower show this month. You are invited to bring in anything for this show but the main focus is on spring bulbs. Please see the brief instructions under Fun Flower Shows, page 10 of the yearbook. In June we will have our judged show with points going towards the trophy for 2014. Check over the categories on pages 10 and 11 and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to think about creating a design under Division ll.
