Mathew Ferguson “ran a very clean race in the hurdles and will be working hard towards his goal of making the OFSAA ﬁnals, which is attainable but lofty,” said the coach.

The cap of 2,500 has been met – now they’re waiting for race day. The sixth annual Perth Kilt Run is set for June 20 this year. Organized by the Running Goat, owner Mary Stewart said they had to put a cap on it, but next year, they’re shooting for the sky, and another one for the Guinness World Record book. “Because it’s our 200th anniversary next year, we want to go for another world record,” Stewart said. “And that is to have 5,000!” It may be an easy feat (feet?) for the committee of 180 volunteers. “It doesn’t happen by osmosis,” Stewart said of their success. “We go out there and we really promote the run – and Perth – all across Ontario.” This year’s kilt run theme is ‘The Year of the Spurtle’ and as such, there will be a spurtle competition of sorts. Just what is a spurtle? It’s an antique Scottish utensil used to stir porridge so it didn’t lump together when cooking. To this day, in Scotland there is a Golden Spurtle competition where participants use these spurtles to make their porridge – or oatmeal, See KILT RUN page P4

CANADA & NEW ENGLAND CRUISE SEPTEMBER 5-13 the second of three competitions organized by the UCDSB. The ﬁrst, also titled ‘Change the World,’ was for grade four to six students. The third, titled ‘Innovation Challenge,’ is for grade nine to 12 students and will take place at the North Grenville Municipal Centre today (May 28). Roughly 160 students will take part in all three competitions. “The educators at the schools select which students take part in the challenge,” said Hardie. “It’s usually a team of four students and one teacher who come to the competition, but

sometimes the project was done by an entire class. The four students are usually the representatives.” Eight schools participated in the challenge on May 15, including Chimo Elementary School, Almonte and District High School, Russell High School, Athens District High School, Carleton Place High School, Gananoque Intermediate Secondary School, Seaway District High School and Rideau District High School. The competition was streamed live, so the other students from the participating schools could watch.

The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is hoping students can ‘Change the World.’ “The goal is to help students broaden their horizons for the future,” said Eric Hardie, one of the organizers and principal at Carleton Place High School. “It doesn’t occur to youth they can change the world, but they can.” The ‘Change the World’ challenge took place at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville on May 15. “The idea is to create initiative in students,” said Hardie. “They always exceed expectations.” The challenge, which involves pitching an idea designed to beneﬁt the world on a local, national or international level, is part of the UCDSB’s ICE (Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship) program. “It’s a Dragons Den style competition for the students,” said Hardie. “They get up and have 10 minutes to make a pitch.” He said students always go above and beyond when given the opportunity to demonstrate their social prowess and intelligence. “Every time, you see something amazing and thought provoking,” said Hardie. “Today was no different.” Some of the projects included ‘Walk the Walk’ (collecting shoes for people in third world countries), ‘Bikes 4 Change’ (collecting bicycles to send to people in third world countries), ‘The Green Warriors’ (teaching ecostewardship and donating the produce to the local food bank), ‘Be the Change Crew’ (inspiring, informing and fundraising) and ‘Stereotypes Podcast’ (debunking stereotypes globally). Each group was awarded funds to keep the project going. The funds for the competition were provided by the UCDSB. “Between the three competitions, there is $9,000 available to support all the projects,” said Hardie. The competition was a signiﬁcant organizational undertaking. “When you see all the projects, its well worth the effort,” said Hardie. “The students are very ambitious.” The groups were encouraged to seek community partners to assist with their project’s effectiveness. “For example, the group from Athens reached out to their local food bank and local gardening group for assistance,” said Hardie. The idea behind the challenge is to inspire students to create real change. “Ideally, the students will continue on with their projects,” said Hardie. “They can use the money they’re awarded today to expand their projects.” The ‘Change the World’ challenge, for grade seven and eight students, is

Coinciding with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Telethon weekend, all funds raised during the evening will benefit the CHEO Foundation. In 2014, the kitchen party raised a total of $8,000 through ticket sales, a silent auction, and individual donations. The kitchen party features toe tapping family entertainment and plenty of food with Lanark County maple syrup. The Wheeler family and volunteers, will serve an all-you-can-eat maple feast including pancakes, French toast, maple sausages, and maple baked beans topped off with Angela Wheeler’s scrumptious homemade maple sugar pie and other maple-themed desserts. Joel Smith and Josh Roy (The Sonin-Laws), Vernon and Judy’s sons-inlaw, will provide the first set of music. The Roberts Family of Lanark will finish off the evening with their own brand of kitchen music featuring moving ballads, Irish jigs, and hymns. The Wheeler and Roberts families donate 100 per cent of the ticket cost for the meal and entertainment to the CHEO Foundation.

Trudeau visit Archambault has said that “it’s looking good” for a visit to Lanark County by federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, whom he has spoken with several times – in both English and French, as they are both FrenchCanadian. He joked that while “Justin likes to run,” and not only for elections, it might be a little late to get him registered for the Perth Kilt Run this summer. However, the Trudeau family has expressed interest in visiting the Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival or the North Lanark Highland Games, both in Almonte, this summer. “Those are the type of events that the Trudeau family has expressed an interest in; a family event,” he said. Both he and Trudeau have children – Trudeau three, Archambault four – a topic which is an important one for him. “It’s all about the family, and bringing them a bright future,” he said. Previous to May 14, Archambault had last visited Perth on Saturday, April 25, when he and his party set up a stall at the Festival of the Maples. “I had some great conversations

Federal Liberal candidate Philippe Archambault says he fired Perth Mayor John Fenik from his campaign, and that Fenik’s decision to run against him for the NDP is no loss to him. “John has not been part of my campaign since early February, so clearly (it is) not a big loss,” wrote Archambault during a Facebook exchange this past weekend. When dealing with Fenik, he wrote, “it is always about John, so, all I have to say is good luck to him.” While Fenik has said that there was a mutual parting of ways, Archambault said that “I had to let him go,” during a telephone interview early on May 19. “I’m looking forward to debating him in the election he said,” followed by a laugh. He said he did not feel betrayed by Fenik’s actions, and that he had not been surprised by his May 11 announcement because “there were some rumours.” Archambault said he has more volunteers joining his campaign every week, and that despite Fenik’s assertion that others left the campaign along with him, Archambault said that “my team has been intact. I have not had anyone who has jumped ship.” In fact, Archambault said he hosted a “Pub and Politics” event at The Golden Arrow Pub and Eatery in Perth on May 14, with more than 24 volunteers in attendance. Polling done by the Liberals shows, according to him, that “we are a strong second to (incumbent Conservative MP Scott) Reid. I think Scott could be in for a surprise this time. We are within distance of Reid.”

Skydiving fundraiser for Lanark County Interval House takes flight June 6 and 7 Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

Thirty-four area residents will take the leap for Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) June 6 and 7 during its Jump for Justice fundraiser. The participants will embark on their free fall at Mile High Parachuting in Arnprior. The ﬁrst day, tandem jumps will begin at 8 a.m., and will kick off the second day at 9 a.m. Two people will jump each hour. “We’re absolutely thrilled (with the participation). When we started this, I thought if we get 10 people it would be great,” remarked LCIH board member Amy Nadeau. However, after an article appeared in this newspaper in January, “the emails just kept coming in and now we’re at capacity with two full days.” Nadeau noted that Jump for Justice builds on the success of third party fundraiser last August where two Bayshore Home Health nurses, Kelsie Maynard and Amanda Hodgins, used their skydiving adventure to bring in $2,000 for the organization. This year, each jumper is tasked with collecting pledges. “Some have set goals for $100, all the way up to $5,000, and one jumper has already raised $2,000 alone,” Nadeau said,

adding that she hopes $5,000 can be raised through the event. Pledges can be collected in person, or those interested in making a donation (to a participant or the event in general), can do so online by visiting lcih.org and clicking on the Events tab. Upon arrival, participants will view a short safety video and undergo brief training before they gear up and get ready for their jumps. As an added incentive, Mile High Parachuting has thrown in some prizes for jumpers. Those who raise $100 or more will receive free unedited videos of their skydives, while the top fundraiser gets a full video and photo package, valued at $180. “A videographer is up there shooting and jumpers have GoPro cameras strapped to their wrists. It’s pretty fun to see,” Nadeau said, adding that the fundraiser has received so much support from the business. “The staff there are phenomenal. They’re so excited and enthusiastic about the event.” With many organizations feeling the pinch of rising costs, Nadeau said funds raised will be put to good use to beneﬁt LCIH’s programs and services. “As everyone knows, the cost of living continues to go up but the fund-

ing for Interval House certainly hasn’t. Without many increases in funding, it’s so important to continue to support the agency through community efforts,” she explained. The public education and volunteer and fundraising programs receive no government funding, so LCIH relies strictly on fundraising to keep them alive. “If our public education program didn’t exist, there would be no education sessions, no going into schools and talking about our services,” Nadeau continued. “And our volunteers have been running our As Good As New store for 25 years. We couldn’t survive without our volunteers, either.” Spectators to come out and cheer on jumpers and LCIH will also be co-ordinating a barbecue on site, with snacks and refreshments also available for purchase. Nadeau is unsure if Jump for Justice will be an annual tradition but “if I hear the buzz for interest next year, we may go ahead and run it again.” “I’m really excited. I hope everyone crosses their ﬁngers and toes that Laurie Weir/METROLAND we have good weather. I think it’ll be Tiernan Sanderson, 1, takes part in the bike parade as part of Franka really good weekend,” she added. For more information on Lanark town’s Lilac Festival on Saturday, May 23.

Brooke and Brittany Henderson to host Charity Pro-Am golf event Every day that avid golfers get to play the game they enjoy is a great day. Each year most golfers play in a charity event that makes playing golf more than just a game with their buddies; it is an opportunity to give back to their local community. On June 15, Brooke and Brittany Henderson, two young women professional golfers who grew up in Smiths Falls, will host such an event – the Magenta Mortgage Pro-Am presented by Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick and GMC Cadillac Ltd. in support of the Team Henderson 110% Club. One hundred and twenty-four amateur golfers have already signed up for

the event and will be teamed with 31 professional women golfers, including Brooke, Brittany and LPGA member and fellow Canadian, Alena Sharp. The event will be played at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club (SFGCC) to raise money for two local causes close to the Henderson family – the Lanark County Support Services and the DoefStrong Trust Fund. Both causes are worthy of support from the golf community. The Lanark County Support Services has been operational since 1981. This service, through its various components (Activity Centre, Life Skills, Transition Support Services and After School Program) provides

adults and young people with developmental disabilities the opportunity to become more independent in the community. Walk down the street or through the shops of any small town. See the smiles on the faces of the men and women who have benefited from these services. It will make you appreciate the people who work so tirelessly to bring happiness and more independence to these individuals. We all wish that trust funds like the DoefStrong Trust Fund were not necessary, but when tragedy strikes individuals or families, we can know that we live in caring small towns like Smiths Falls. Less than six months ago, Neil Doef, a member of the Smiths Falls Bears Junior

A hockey club, was considered talented enough to play in the World Junior A Hockey Challenge in Saskatchewan. During one of the games Neil suffered a devastating spinal cord injury. Since Neil’s accident, charity events held in Smiths Falls and other local communities have raised almost $250,000. Neil and his family deeply appreciate this financial support as it helps to remove a major hurdle during his rehabilitation process. He is especially touched by the kind words extended by so many family, friends and strangers. Brooke and Brittany Henderson would like to invite all golfers and fans of golf to come out and watch the par-

ticipants in their first Charity Pro-Am event.

If you, friends or family are members of the LGTBQ, come out to our June show for a great night! Our show will feature a special guest from Ottawa, so come out and show some spirit, pride and see why it is good to be different. LiPS guest for June is Lukayo Estrella, a spoken word artist, freelance writer, and community organizer whose work ranges

from the passionate to the political and is both hilarious and deeply moving all in one powerhouse package. Lukayo is a proud, sexpositive genderqueer, geek, transfeminist, survivor, and animist who is part of the Bikolano/Filipino diaspora. Known as a performer, writer, educator, and community organizer, Lukayo works with Agitate!

ent through a poetic panoply of possibilities. Well known across Canada, they competed at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word twice as part of an Ottawa team and a Wild Card team, and in 2011 they helped coach the Ottawa Youth Poetry Slam Team. Their poetry focuses on using

personal experiences and imagination to foster resiliency and empowerment, and we are so thrilled to have them feature at our PRIDE S.L.A.M. The S.L.A.M. will be on Friday, June 5 upstairs at The Thirsty Moose in Carleton Place. Show starts at 7 p.m. and admis-

Crusading against cancer

t’s a humbling thing to see generosity and community spirit come together and that’s exactly what the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life achieves. The annual fundraiser has deep roots in Lanark County, having been held in Smiths Falls for more than a decade, and is growing legs with the newer Mississippi Mills event at Almonte’s Gemmill Park. The overnight walk was designed as a way for participants to understand what a person with cancer feels like as they suffer through a sleepless night with the disease. It’s nearly June and that means it’s time once again for the inspiring evening. The Mississippi Mills Relay For Life this year is set for Friday, June 5 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., while the Smiths Falls fundraiser goes Friday, June 13 from 6 p.m. to midnight at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. Both events raise much-needed dollars for cancer research and are used here at home, in the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark branch of the Canadian Cancer Society and last year brought in a combined total of more than $156,000.

If you’ve never participated or been a spectator at a Relay For Life event, you are missing out. There’s such a positive aura surrounding the location, whether it’s through the hundreds who walk into the night around the track, the live entertainment, or the countless volunteers who ensure the participants are well taken care of and continue to spread the message to fight back against cancer. But there is also a somber tone. Relay For Life celebrates just that, life, however it also honours those who struggled through their own cancer battles and lost. The luminary ceremony, which takes place at dusk is nothing short of breathtaking. Dozens of lights encased in paper bags line the track and are simultaneously lit with each bearing the name of a loved one either in memory or in tribute to their cancer fight. It’s quite a moving sight to see. We are all touched by cancer in some way. Events such as Relay For Life work toward a future without the horrible disease, which is a world we’d all like to live in.

be made into everyday tea towels, and sometimes, bloomers for me, which caused me great embarrassment if anyone accidentally saw the printing if I had to bend over. Aprons, or pinnys as we called them, were as important as the braided rugs on the floor. Flour bags made up the bulk of the aprons, but once a year Mother went to Walker’s Store in Renfrew and bought a few yards of a heavy white cotton that came on a long roller, not folded like the many bolts of Dan River cotton on the shelves, and this material was turned into longer aprons, which I thought at the time were made for someone at least six feet tall. They covered your entire body, from your neck to below your knees and for me

that meant right to the floor, with a goodly portion about my feet like a bed sheet. I had to wear one of these long pinnys when I churned butter, covering me from my chin to my ankles. And Mother wore a clean one every day.

Because, even if there wasn’t a spot on it, it had to be changed for a clean fresh one when she started her day. One of these long pinnys hung on a nail at the back door too, just in case some unexpected visitor came calling. It would never do to

From page 8

This was not a straight split among parties. Nine Conservative MPs did their homework and supported C-356. Now the Conservative government is claiming the bill encroached on provincial healthcare jurisdiction. In fact, as several media have reported, a deal had been reached between the Health Minister and the NDP for passage of the bill with several amendments. Conservative MP Maurice Vellacott even said there was nothing in the bill that could not be ﬁxed. Why do I care? My dear wife of almost 17 years, Lisa, was di-

were made and these were trimmed with pieces of Dan River cotton. Mother even made smaller aprons for me, and I was expected to wear one no matter what chore I was doing in the house. An apron was necessary, and that’s all there was to it! When Father was cooking up a meal of his German foods, he too, of course, had to wear a long white pinny. His wasn’t to cover his clothes and keep them free of ﬂying grease, but rather to give him something to wipe his hands on when he was stirring the

agnosed with frontotemporal dementia at the age of 43 and taken and placed into long-term care a mere two months later. Since that time, I am endeavouring to raise our three young children as best I can. However, in reality, I remain a widower with a living spouse. That May 6 evening, our youngest son Peter (10) valiantly watched the proceedings unfold in the House of Commons. Like me, he was hoping with all his might that MPs would do the right thing so that people like his mother would be assured of receiving the care they so desperately deserve. Alas, it didn’t happen. Both he and I were heart-

broken. The next day, the head of the Canadian Medical Association, Dr. Chris Simpson, called the result “a lost opportunity.” MP votes matter. Mr. O’Connor’s vote mattered. It is urgent that people understand the importance of those votes and each vote and listening to what people want. Despite the outcome, Peter and I remain resolved to do what Dr. Simpson has urged all Canadians to do – and that is to remember how MPs voted come the October election.

pans and pots on the stove. By the time his meal was ready, the apron was ready for the wash. My favourite aprons were the ones with bibs, which had a frill around them, always in a contrast to the apron itself. These were considered “company” aprons. Besides the one always-clean white apron that hung at the back door in case of unexpected company, all the aprons were kept in a washstand under the window looking out into the back yard. Why we needed so many aprons was beyond me. And when Monday washday

rolled around, it was a common sight to see at least a half dozen long white pinnys, one or two “company” aprons, and a couple half aprons on the clothes line, all hanging in order of course. Aprons were as necessary as ﬂourbag underwear back then, and expected to be just as spotless. Both very much a symbol of the times. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

The Lanark County Tourism Association is pleased to announce the launch of the first ever bilingual countywide cycle map. To date, cycling in the county has been fragmented and the map will be the first time that all communities are linked together. With a focus on creating unique experiences Lanark County businesses will be working to become certified cycling friendly, through Ontario by Bike, creating a network of businesses that together enhance our regions cycle tourism product. “Cycling is a growing

market worth millions of dollars that gets directly injected into our communities. The goal is not to simply produce a cycling map but to cultivate and develop a new sustainable tourism sector in Lanark County,” said Bob Mingie, chair of the Lanark County Tourism Association. Lanark is only a few kilometres from Ottawa but far enough away to take cyclists to the gentle pace of pastoral back roads, rolling hills and limestone farmhouses, food offerings that vary from local cafes, craft breweries and farmers’ markets to ﬁne dining and welcoming accom-

modators who are happy to open their doors and provide friendly hospitality. Whether visiting the county for an afternoon, day or an overnight stay, the experience is bound only by the imagination. The cycling maps will be distributed through a variety of networks including information centres, participating county businesses, bike and sports stores in Ottawa/ Gatineau, cycling clubs and online at Lanark County Tourism and Ontario by Bike.

Brown to finally be recognized in Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame By Jeff maguire

I noted in the previous column that I am a founding member of the Roy Brown Society of Carleton Place. Founded in 2009 the mandate of the organization is to establish and maintain a museum to honour Brown and 14 other Great War airmen from Carleton Place. The museum is now in operation although displays and artifacts will be housed in two locations. The original museum is in historic Moore House, located in downtown Carleton Place opposite the Town Hall. Because Moore House recently became the new home of the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce, a limited number of displays related to Roy Brown and the town’s aviation history will be housed there. However, with the assistance of the Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society and museum curator Jennifer Irwin, other displays and artifacts will be available at the society’s museum on Edmund Street in Carleton Place. I am pleased to report that the two societies are now working together to ensure that these truly incredible stories, keyed by the BrownRichthofen saga, will be properly told. That is signiﬁcant because it had not happened in Carleton Place for more than 90 years and was clearly overdue. Lots of interest In my previous column about Brown I said that before the induction ceremony I would relate another sidebar story I think readers will be interested in. Before that I want to thank all of those who sent emails or spoke to me in the wake of last month’s article. Obviously I’m not the only area person who is thrilled about Brown’s induction into the Aviation Hall of Fame. At the same time I have to say I was surprised with a small number of emails I received from people who are more interested in the ongoing debate over who ﬁred the shot that killed Richthofen on

Now for the related story. Eleven-year-old Nadine Carter, who lives near Ballantrae, Ontario spent months researching Roy Brown’s story and lobbying council in her community, WhitchurchStouffville, to commemorate the fact that Brown spent the ﬁnal years of his life (19391944) on a farm he purchased in that area. (See the story in this week’s edition of the Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette or online at www. insideottawavalley.com). Nadine has been See COLUMN page 12

Reflections

April 21, 1918. Obviously everyone is entitled to their point of view. But at this time I would far rather see the spotlight shone on Roy Brown and his part in this world famous incident. I also want to reiterate the point I made in the last column. No matter where you stand on this subject it’s obvious that had it not been for the actions of Captain Brown on that day nearly a century ago, the most famous war-time pilot in history would not have been shot down. Richthofen was credited with bringing down 80 enemy aircraft.

Next week I will be among a delegation from Carleton Place in attendance at Pearson Airport in Toronto as Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame inducts four new members. Among them will be Captain Arthur “Roy” Brown of Carleton Place, the First World War flyer who shot down famous German pilot Manfred von Richthofen, the highest scoring ace of the First World War. Brown, who died in 1944 at the tender age of 50, will be represented by family members including a grand-daughter and grandson. The other inductees are James Stuart “Jim” McBride, George Edward Miller, O.M.M., CD and the late Owen Bartley “O.B.” Philp, C.M., DFC, CD. All three men served with distinction in the Royal Canadian Air Force. McBride and Miller later moved into the private sector where they made significant contributions to Canadian aviation. Philp, who passed away in 1995, is known as the “Father of the Snowbirds” for the work he did, as base commander at Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw (Saskatchewan) to help launch the famed Snowbirds, Canada’s Armed Forces aerial demonstration team. The induction dinner is scheduled one week from today on Thursday, June 4. Also to be honoured by the Wetaskiwin, Alberta based Aviation Hall of Fame will be AeroVelo Inc. a Canadian firm who scored two amazing firsts in the field of “humanpowered flight” which, in recent years, have brought the company world-wide recognition. Two representatives of the firm will be on hand to receive the Belt of Orion Award for Excellence from the Aviation Hall of Fame. In April, to mark the 97th anniversary of Brown’s First World War victory over Richthofen, I wrote a column about the Carleton Place native and how richly he deserves the national recognition he will receive next week, albeit posthumously. I have been in touch with some of his family members and they are so proud of the honour that will be bestowed on their grandfather and uncle next Thursday night.

The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County council meeting held Wednesday, May 13. Council has passed a bylaw approving an amendment (No. 3) to the Lanark County Sustainable Communities Official Plan (SCOP) related to source water protection policies. The amendment is required in order to implement the Source Protection Plan for the Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Area, which is in accordance with the Clean Water Act, the Planning Act and the Provincial Policy Statement 2014. The SCOP includes policies related to the protection of drinking water and mapping that identifies vulnerable areas and types of drinking water sources. Local municipalities are also required to adopt the policies, and the local plans must conform to the county’s official plan. Once the SCOP has been approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, local municipalities can adopt and submit their official plan amendments to the county for approval. A public meeting for the county’s amendment was held on March 25 and a request for comments was circulated as required. Comments were received and summarized in a technical report prior to the bylaw being passed. Council endorses motions related to beef farming Council has endorsed two recommendations from the economic development committee based on an update by the local Cattlemen’s Association at the Agriculture Advisory Working

absolutely tenacious on the matter of a proper commemoration for Brown in her community. We have all come to admire her tremendously. Her efforts have paid off bigtime. The municipal council have now decided to erect a plaque in memory of Roy Brown. Along with the plaque the young lady is hoping to convince school board officials to name a new school after Brown. In addition her research found that Brown’s remains were disinterred in 1955 (at the request of family evidently) and moved to the Necropolis Cemetery in downtown Toronto where his widow Edythe was buried. I will ask some questions about this in Toronto next week. But I have been told Brown’s ashes were buried in common ground.

Group last month. The committee learned beef producers are being urged to go to locations in Northern Ontario for increased production although there is significant land available in eastern Ontario, and that previously settled farms here could be used if proper external fencing were put in place, which would reduce freight costs. Council supported recommendations to endorse the Beef Farmers of Ontario in their efforts to lobby the provincial and federal governments to obtain funding that would enable producers to fence farm land suitable for pasturing beef animals, allowing producers to increase production. It also endorsed the group’s efforts to lobby the provincial government to provide external or line fence financial assistance to livestock producers. Awarding contract for active transportation/snowmobile structure Following a public works report on tender results, council agreed to award a contract to Beam Construction (1984) in the amount of $293,630 to complete the installation of an active transportation/snowmobile structure at the Mississippi River Bridge on County Road 511 north of Balderson. The structure would provide a separate crossing for snowmobiles, bicycles and pedestrians, for example. The project is funded in part by a National Trails Coalition grant, which covers 49 per cent of the expenditures to a maximum of $124,198. Janet Tysick, public works business manager, re-

Nadine’s research revealed that his gravesite is unmarked. She hopes his actual burial site can be located and a proper marker erected. Obviously that decision will rest with the Brown family. Not only has this youngster managed to raise Brown’s profile in the community where he died, she has also gained national attention for the cause. She has even managed to convince the local library to purchase copies of a book entitled ‘Captain Roy Brown: A True Story of the Great War, 1914-1918’. Roy Brown Society members were so impressed with her work that we passed the hat at our most recent meeting and easily came up with the $250 needed to purchase a ticket for Nadine to attend the induction dinner in Toronto next Thursday. Rob Probert told me that has now been finalized and she, along with at least

one of her parents, will be in attendance. I am really looking forward to meeting her. It took the efforts of an 11year-old school girl to shine a light on someone who clearly should have been recognized in that community. Hardly surprising when you consider that had it not been for the formation of the Roy Brown Society the famous First World War ace and 14 fellow Great War airmen would not have been properly recognized in Carleton Place, their hometown. Now, finally, Brown is also about to be honoured nationally and for me it will be an honour and a privilege to be there and witness this long overdue ceremony.

You do have the benefit of a principal residence tax exemption but you can apply it to just one property at a time and that can be either your cottage or your city home but the one you don’t choose will be subject to tax on its increased value. There will be tax consequences if your leave the property to your children in your will – so make sure there will be sufficient funds in your estate to pay any tax liabilities. Life insurance can be a good strategy for covering the capital gains on your cottage. The death benefits are usually tax-free and can be

The buzz around Perth is unmistakable...the musical The Drowsy Chaperone is an unqualified hit, and a must-see for anyone who loves great singing, dancing, costumes and comedy. Directed by C. Lee Bates, The Drowsy Chaperone is the hit Broadway musical that affectionately sends up the rip-roaring American Jazz Age, complete with all the live Jazz music and 1920s showbiz characters you could ask for. Pictured here are Adam Reid and Courtney Mason, two of the leads in this enormously entertaining show.

Dynamic Ottawa Valley Opry rolls into Carleton Place June 7 Another show in the popular Ottawa Valley Opry series is coming to the Carleton Place arena Sunday, June 7. Once again a stellar line-up of top Ottawa Valley entertainers will pay tribute to America’s best-loved Grand Ole Opry performers, featuring the music of Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, June Carter, Willy Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, and more. The last show in Perth on Feb. 21 was completely sold out. Ottawa Valley Opry Night will showcase the talents of Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame inductees Freddy Dixon, Steve Piticco, Fred Ducharme and Peter Dawson along with guest performer Jamie McMunn, keyboardist Jack Denovan, singer Arlene Quinn and drummer Terry Kittmer. Steve Piticco, a guitarist since the age of 11, is known for his distinctive sound and style. The well-worn Fender Telecaster he has played since he was 15 has

helped him earn recognition as the Canadian Country Music Association’s guitar player of the year and instrumentalist of the year many times. He will soon be heading to Germany to open for legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen. Fred Ducharme, a 2010 hall of fame inductee, is a multi-instrumentalist whose musical talents can be heard on more than a dozen CDs recorded by local artists. Peter Dawson joined the hall of fame in 1999. He began to play the fiddle at age five, and went on to serve as staff fiddler for radio station WWVA in Wheeling, West Virginia in the 1950s. Louisiana-born fiddle legend Doug Kershaw was once Dawson’s roommate. The BC native returned to Canada in 1960, and owned and operated Ottawa’s Fiddle Factory for many years. Freddy Dixon was chosen as Entertainer of the Year by the hall of fame in 2000. He is hard at work on a new CD to be titled,

Them Good Ole Boys. One of Dixon’s original compositions, Last Fatal Duel, was recorded by Stompin’ Tom Connors. Over the years he has shared the stage with other top country artists such as Lynn Anderson, Dave Dudley, George Hamilton IV, Ronnie Prophet, Dallas Harms, Stonewall Jackson, Johnny Duncan, Bobby Bare, and Jean Shepheard. Singer-songwriter Jamie McMunn is the son of the late Ron McMunn, known throughout the Valley as the “Silver Fox.” Vocalist Arlene Quinn, said Dixon, is “the queen of country music” and “a very positive life force.” Quinn has given generously to others, and has done a lot for Ottawa Valley country music, he added. The master of ceremonies for the evening is Charlie Kitts, also a hall of fame member in recognition of his long-time contributions to country music in the Ottawa Valley. Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are available at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St in Perth, at Temptations, 117 Bridge St in Carleton Place, or at the door. The show is sponsored by Home Hardware and Lake 88, and is a Shamrock International Records production.

Register today for Entrepreneur Week breakfast Ottawa and area business leaders are invited to get their day off to a running start at the annual Ontario Entrepreneur Week breakfast Monday, June 15. Sponsored by Metroland Media, this high-energy event will run from 7 to 9 a.m. at the Ottawa Conference & Event Centre, 200 Coventry Rd. “We are so pleased to be able to bring this wonderful event to Ottawa again this year,” said Mike Mount, Vice-President and Regional Publisher with Metroland East. “The breakfast offers like-minded business people an opportunity to network in a relaxed setting and learn about a remarkable Canadian entrepreneurial success story.” Prepare to be inspired by this year’s guest speaker, John Stanton, founder of the Run-

ning Room. His enthusiasm for life is infectious and that will flow through his presentation as he shares the challenges and triumphs he’s experienced over his more than 25 years in business. Like so many entrepreneurs, Stanton started small and dreamed big. From a single meeting place for running enthusiasts at the back of a shop, the Running Room has grown to more than 100 locations across Canada and the United States. The 1,300 employees who share his vision have touched the lives of more than a million Canadians over the years, encouraging us and demonstrating how running and walking lead to greater fitness and health. Beyond his obvious business acumen is Stanton’s zest for life and his ability to motivate others.

From an overweight and out-ofshape executive who smoked two packs of cigarettes a day 30 years ago, he has now run more than 60 marathons, hundreds of road races, several triathlons including the World Ironman in Hawaii. Taking the stage before Stanton will be local entrepreneur Karen Sparks, executive director of Wesley Clover Parks. Sparks and her father, high tech mogul Terry Matthews, are revitalizing the former Nepean National Equestrian Park off Corkstown Road with the goal of attracting top-flight show jumping competitors to Ottawa. Don’t miss the June 15 event where Sparks and Stanton will bring inspiring messages to the business breakfast in Ottawa. Register today at ontarioentrepreneurweek.com/2015-event/.

The procedure involves taking 70 per cent of a donor’s healthy liver and transplanting it into a patient in liver failure who has no other options for survival.

said Dr. Atul Humar, MOT Program Medical Director at UHN. “Organ donation or the lack of the available donors is the single biggest challenge we face as a multiple organ transplant program. It’s why our patients die because they are not able to get an organ on time.” Dr. Humar noted any appeal like this can help get potential donors to register online to be an organ donor after death. “It’s truly humbling to work with this patient,” said Dr. Ian McGilvray, the transplant surgeon who performed the procedure. “I can’t think of anything else in modern medicine where you take a completely healthy, well

thanking the donor for his generosity as well as the team at the MOT program. “To the anonymous donor, you are an incredible person and we truly admire your unselﬁsh act of kindness and courage to be a living liver donor,” reads the statement.

Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk and a liver donor have started the post-liver transplantation recovery a transplant procedure, Tuesday, May 19. The donor was one of more than 500 people who stepped forward after a public appeal was made by the Ottawa Senators for a living liver transplantation donor. The donor was chosen only a few days after the appeal was made. “The (donor’s) motivation to do this is to help Mr. Melnyk to return to good health, to enjoy his family and friends, and most importantly, to bring the Stanley Cup home to the Ottawa Senators,” said Dr. David Grant, director of the living donor liver transplant program at Toronto’s University Health Network. Dr. Grant noted that the donor hopes that others will be inspired by his story, and that both the donor and Melnyk are in stable condition and recovering. The donor has chosen to remain anonymous to both the public and Melnyk. Melnyk went into liver failure and decided to appeal to the public while on the wait list for a deceased liver transplantation donor, and after none of his close friends or family were a successful match for a donation. “Live liver donation is offered as an option to these patients as a way to reduce the risk of dying while waiting for a scarce or deceased liver transplant,” said Dr. Grant at a news conference at Toronto General Hospital, Thursday May 21. The University Health Network’s Multi-Organ transplant (MOT) team doesn’t help a patient solicit a live donor, but will assess whether those who come forward are a suitable match. Melnyk’s procedure will now free up his place on the deceased liver transplant waiting list. There are currently around 1,500 people waiting for a transplant and not all may have the option of a live transplant. Twenty of the people who came forward to donate have decided to continue the process and donate to someone else in need. “Many lives will be saved as a result of this appeal and we as a community should be proud of these heroic and caring individuals,” said Grant. One in three people waiting for a transplant in Ontario will die because a donor doesn’t become available in time. “This appeal is a win-win situation,”

regenerate itself in both the donor and the recipient (Melnyk) to virtually the same size as it was before. Melnyk and his donor will both be in recovery at the hospital for one to two weeks, and then at home for three to four months afterwards. Melnyk’s family released a statement

Dawn and Ian Traynor have opened the new Get Hooked Fishing Tours at Rideau Ferry. The duo is offering a full experience of fishing on the Big Rideau where guests have the use of gear, safety equipment, bait and an expert guide for trips up to six hours.

Dawn and Ian Traynor recently got hooked and now they want you to get hooked too, on ﬁshing that is. The newlywed couple from Westport opened Get Hooked Fishing Tours in Rideau Ferry, nestled beside the Rideau Ferry Inn. They held their grand opening on Saturday. “We just opened the bait shop a couple weeks ago,” says Ian, a self-pro-

fessed water rat who has enjoyed fishing since before he could walk. He is the tour guide for the fishing tours. “The fishing tours are a good fit,” added Dawn. “We opened the bait shop on May 9 and last weekend we had our first fishing tour. It’s been great. The community has been so supportive. Our primary business is the fishing tours and the bait shop is a great complement.” She added that it’s a terrific opportunity to offer this type of service in an

Erika Heesen library operates on what librarians call a “closed stacks” system. Like historical libraries, with rare books, a student has to request a book from a librarian, and it is then retrieved and given to the student – who must then read the book in the library. In fact, the library in Guatemala only buys about one new book per year. “They just don’t have the resources to replace the books,” said Heesen. “They can’t replace the book if they go missing.” Biography Heesen was born in Windsor, Ont., but moved to Collingwood when she was two. She studied history at Carleton University for her undergraduate degree, which she called “my ﬁrst introduction to eastern Ontario.” During her gap year between her undergraduate and postgraduate years, she spent a year working at a travel agency in See LIBRARIAN page P2

area that is predominately big for bass ﬁshing. Pickerel and trout are also available. The ﬁshing charters on the Rideau River can be three, four or six hours in length. “Every trip will be a personal experience for anglers. We want to reach all their expectations, and of course, fun is guaranteed,” Dawn said. For a four-hour charter, up to four people, the cost is $320.

The new director of the Perth library knows just how lucky our town’s library is in comparison to a school library she just visited in Latin America. While the Perth and District Union Public Library continues to face chronic under-staffing and being under-funded, Erika Heesen, the new chief librarian and chief executive officer of the library, saw for herself that during her first trip to Guatemala, this past April, “it struck me how rich we are as a society in comparison.” Along with her new duties in Perth, which started May 11, she is also the international membership director of Librarians Without Borders, a society modeled on other groups like Doctors Without Borders and Journalists Without Borders, which has about 1,500 members, and is based at the University of Western Ontario, in London. Their main emphasis is on “access to information,” she said during an interview in her office on Wednesday, May 20. She traveled to Guatemala to do work at a private school library there, where the teachers were working on a project “teaching their students to be critical thinkers… (and to) teach the history of the recent civil war.” Heesen helped with a “Library Day” cataloguing books, and welcoming students to the library, when every single class was brought down to take part in activities. Though it is a private school, she stressed that many of the students were attending on scholarships, and that the

Librarian From page P1

Dublin, Ireland. It was during her second year at Carleton that she began to seriously consider life as a librarian, as she was “deciding what I would do with my history degree.” In a conversation with her mother, herself a librarian, she suggested her daughter consider her career path. “I’d never considered it before,” Heesen said. “It was like a light bulb moment.” She later worked at Carleton University’s library, and during her stay in Ireland, saw one of the most famous books of western civilization, the Book of Kells, at Trinity College Dublin’s library. When she returned to Canada, she obtained her master’s degree in library science at the University of Toronto’s St. George campus. After graduation, she worked for the Leeds and the Thousand Islands Township archives, heading up a joint program between the local library, historical society, and municipal heritage committee, trying to bring all of the township’s various historical collections together under one roof. What had started out as an eightmonth contract was extended out to two years, thanks in part to a Trillium grant. The program is still ongoing at

Escott town hall and “I’m proud of the way I was able to leave it. It is definitely in a more sustainable position.” Shortly after she left Escott, she took up the interim CEO role at the Leeds and the Thousand Islands Public Library for four months – and she was hooked. “This is where I want to be,” she said of her time there. For two and a half years, she served as the communities and marketing librarian at the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry County Library – which was, in many ways, like being a deputy CEO. Welcome to Perth “Perth is a beautiful town,” Heesen said of her new home. Growing up in Collingwood, Perth “has a very similar feel. It’s a tourist town, it has the heritage district downtown… I’m really liking it so far. It’s a really nice town.” She was also delighted to find that she had a “great group of staff,” that she will be working with. “I’m looking forward to working with everyone here,” she added. Her plans for the library include “bringing the library out into the communities… making sure it is visible out there.” She commended the work done at the library on this in the past, hav-

ing story time, for example, at the Stewart Park Festival. “We provide quite a number of digital services which are not as visible.” She also wants to let rural residents know about the e-books available online, as well as online language programs – like the one she used, through the library, to brush up on her Spanish before her trip to Guatemala. Heesen said she was glad to see that a lot of outreach work had already been done at the library. “I was pleasantly surprised to see what a good relationship we have with CROW (Children’s Resources On Wheels) and the Early Years Centre,” she said, and the work they do with the library as part of the summer literacy program. As for future challenges, “I think funding is an ongoing issue for us,” she said diplomatically. “We serve a large area with the funds we have.” She added that “making sure our library is sustainable into the future is a strong focus.” On a more personal note, as she settles into her new role, she says that there are aspects of the job that she loves that some may find surprising. “I also enjoy administration, funnily enough,” she said. “And

the variety of tasks, in a smaller setting, as opposed to a larger, urban library.” Here in Perth, she gets to “wear many hats… it keeps life interesting.”

In her spare time, when not helping her partner, an engineer who works in Kingston, renovate his house, she likes to get sporty. She enjoys hiking, swimming,

and yoga. As yet another side project, she is also the social media chair for the International Plowing Match, in Finch, Ont.

www.perth.ca NOISY VEHICLES Under the Highway Traffic Act, motorists are required to have mufflers operating in good working order and that prevent excessive or unusual sound or smoke. Under the Act, muffler cut-outs, straight exhaust, gutted mufflers, hollywood mufflers, bypasses and similar devices are prohibited, as are any modifications to increase the sound output of a vehicle above allowed levels. After-market parts added to vehicles that do not contain baffles can result in an overly loud engine roar when travelling, especially when accelerating. This is disruptive to residents and businesses and affects quality of life. If a police officer determines a vehicle has an after-market or modified muffler that contains no baffles, the motorist may be issued a ticket that carries a $110 fine for either “Unnecessary Noise” or “Improper Muffler.” No demerit points are associated with these offences. Subsequent failure to ensure the vehicle is serviced with a proper muffler could result in further charges. NEED TO REACH THE O.P.P.?

Fire razes barn near Smiths Falls

Area firefighters battled a large barn and brush fire just outside Smiths Falls on Wednesday, May 20. The call came in just after 2 p.m. for a brush fire on Porter Road, but once Bathurst, Burgess, Drummond & North Elmsley (BBD&E) responders were on scene, they quickly realized a structure, a barn and hay bales, had also caught

fire. Mutual aid from Smiths Falls and Montague fire departments was called in for extra manpower and the Beckwith volunteer fire department was on standby with a pumper and crew to cover Smiths Falls and Montague. Perth firefighters covered BBD&E, while the Ocean Wave Fire Company in Carleton Place, stepped in for Beckwith.

Last year, there was a shortbread competition. Again this year there are two categories of bakers - “kids” (under 16) and “adults” (16 or older). There are cash prizes, souvenir aprons and ﬂashy ribbons to be won, in addition to bragging rights. The panel of judges will evaluate the entries based on appearance, ﬂavour, texture and “Scotts appeal”. Entry forms and instructions are available from The Running Goat (at 74 Foster St.) or can be found here: http:// perthkiltrun.blogspot.ca/. Baking entries (at least three cookies, more if you want to feed the runners) must be dropped off at Stewart Park between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 20. Winners will be announced at 4 p.m., wrapping up in time to cheer on the youngest kilt runners. The adults will take off at 6:15 p.m. for their 8km

race. There is also a Wee Warriors Race for the second year in a row. The young runners range in age from 10 to 12 years and will be running through an obstacle course with swords in hands. Once you hear the sounds of two marching bands, this will signify the start of the race. They will be piped to the starting line by the Quigley Highlanders Pipes and Drums and the Sons of Scotland as they start together at Crystal Palace for a small march around the block before the race kicks off at town hall on Gore Street. The afternoon will be ﬁlled with entertainment on two stages: one in Stewart Park and one at Crystal Palace. There will also be kilted Voyageur canoe rides in the Tay, a haggis toss and even a tea and scones by the ABC Hall of Bollingbrooke. Besides local restaurants, the Glen of Stittsville will be here with their Tartan truck to serve haggis, and the curling club will be offering up some Scottish stew. “We’re also having scotch tasting at Crystal Palace and free beer will be

offered to the runners following the race,” Stewart said. There will be water along the route for runners as well and pipers marking every kilometer of the race. An exciting trip to Scotland will be up for grabs as part of a special draw for all participants. “They have to be there to win,” says Stewart. This is one of Perth’s biggest events of the summer. It drew more than 5,000 people to Perth last year. “People schedule their vacations around the run,” says Stewart. “They have their cottage weekends, or their girls’ weekends. Clans plan their weekends around it and get the same Tartans. It’s a destination now. Grandpas are wanting to run with their granddaughters – it’s a family event and has really taken on a life of its own.” The event’s big sponsors are the Running Goat and Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group, “and we have a number of little ones.”

Mayor urges landlords to send false alarm bills to tenants Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

A Perth landlord is taking town council to task for possibly having to foot the bill for false alarm bills incurred by his tenants. In a letter addressed to Mayor John Fenik, dated April 20, Harry Hale of Halra Holdings (1986) Inc., wrote that while “I agree with the reasoning for this bylaw… I feel that a building owner with multiple businesses and multiple alarm systems are not treated on the same playing field as a building owner with one business.” Under the town’s bylaw, a bill is sent to the person or business listed as the owner of the property by the fire department, after the third false alarm. “In my case, I would have five different businesses occupying my premises and each one of them could have their own alarm system,” Hale wrote. “It does not seem fair that after three false alarms, for five businesses, that we would be assessed the same penalty as a single occupied building. Also, it would be impossible to decide who should bear the consequences.” Hale suggested that each false alarm be recorded separately, and that a “monthly

report from the Town of Perth should be sent to the building owner, who could monitor the infractions as needed.” Karen Walton, the town’s clerk, took up the matter at town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, May 5, and she remarked that “the idea behind the bylaw was to put something in place for a year, and see how it goes, and then revise it later,” she said. But the town’s hands are tied in so far as who they can go after to pay the bill. “The people who are renting properties, we have no way of getting money from them,” said Walton. “We can only go after the landlords.” Fenik however suggested that “there is no reason why landlords can’t levy a charge on their tenants,” if they incur a bill through their property. “I don’t know if landlords know they can charge their tenants…we can’t charge tenants.” Deputy Mayor John Gemmell agreed that “there’s got to be some way you go back to your tenant,” if you are landlord. He reminded council that the false alarm bylaw comes back up for review in the early fall. “Let him (Hale) know that this is being dealt with,” said Coun. Jim Graff.

Cigarette causes $1,000 damage to balcony Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

An improperly disposed cigarette caused about $1,000 worth of damage to a Sunset Boulevard apartment’s balcony last Wednesday morning. Perth fire fighters were called to 45 Sunset Blvd. just after 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 20. By coincidence, according to a press release issued this afternoon by fire Chief Steve Fournier, “a routine fire inspection was being conducted with the owner of the building and fire officials when smoke alarms started sounding.” Fournier described the action by his firefighters as “a quick knock-down” of the fire. The cause of the fire was soon discovered by the department: a discarded cigarette, which did about $1,000 worth of damage to some siding on the secondstorey balcony. “This proves (that) working smoke alarms save lives,” wrote Fournier, who added that they also prevent damage to property “by means of early detection.”

False Alarms By-law No 2012-008

False alarm reports to the police and fire departments are a concern in the Township. The time and police/fire resources necessary to attend alarms are staggering.

In 2012, the Township implemented a False Alarm Bylaw governing false alarms that includes provisions for warnings and fines. Please note that commencing the fourth false alarm within a 12 month period, a fee of $500 per false security alarm per occurrence applies until there is a period of 12 months with no false alarms.

If your property is protected by an alarm, do your homework. Make sure you and those with access know how to activate and de-activate the alarm. Understand how the system works and what typically causes false activation (pets, etc.) Have your security company check and service your system regularly; routine maintenance may prevent many false alarms. Notify your security company if you plan any remodeling, including replacing doors or windows, changing phone systems, hiring domestic help or adding a pet to the family.

Alarm owners and alarm companies must be responsible for the use and maintenance of alarm systems. Donʼt be part of the problem, be part of the solution.

Ticked off about bugs

was in a meeting last week with a couple of people, one of whom is very outdoorsy, and we got talking about ticks. I hate ticks – particularly those darned black-legged ticks that can carry Lyme disease. The outdoorsy fellow asked if I had ever found a tick on me. He has not. (On himself, not me.) Coincidentally, I have not found a tick on me, either. The anticipation is killing me in the same sort of way an invasive medical procedure is exciting. I kinda just want to get it over with. I don’t really like bugs. I respect insects and I know many of them have a crucial place on this planet, but I’d rather not spend inordinate amounts of time with them. I also would prefer that they do not bite me or sting me or suck my blood or creep out from under things and startle me – especially in my house. I know I have told the story at least a couple of times about my first summer working at a provincial park. We were part of a gypsy moth study because this invasive species was new to Ontario and chowing down on our forests. My mission was to check under burlap that had been tied to certain tree species in a designated area and count the number of caterpillars. Then I had to squish them because they are bad for trees. Many campers drove past the girl in uniform hitting a tree with a stick and looking exceedingly unhappy about it. Bad tree! Very bad tree! “What kind of provincial park is this?” they surely wondered. I don’t actually mind caterpillars. I think what grossed me out was the peeking under the burlap part and the subsequent squishing and flying caterpillar guts. Around that time I worked for a homecare agency while I was a student in Ottawa. I did housekeeping for one elderly woman whose apartment building was infested with cockroaches. More than a few times she came to my rescue by smacking the critters with her slipper. Give me snakes, frogs, toads, leeches, fish and snails anytime. I’m good with bees and butterflies and moths and fireflies and grasshoppers and dragonflies and bugs like those, but the things that bite and carry deadly or debilitating diseases very definitely give me the no feeling.

Past Deadline

Stephanie Gray

Unfortunately, ticks are pretty much a fact of life around here. I’m sure we all know someone who has had some sort of tick experience. I know people who went through an awful lot just to get a diagnosis of Lyme disease when it was new here. Stories about embedded ticks are commonplace. Ticks like long grass, but they don’t really understand boundaries, so don’t assume they are not in towns. They are carried by birds and other wildlife. They come in on your dog or on your clothes. Sure, you are more likely to pick up a tick if you are romping around in long grass and shrubbery (as I’m sure we all do at least once a day while singing a jaunty tune), but I’m expecting to see them in my garden any time now. The long and the short of it is this: if you play or work outside, get in the habit of doing a tick check when you come indoors. Check your kids and your dog and your pet gorilla if he or she also goes outside. (Remember, ticks like to hide in dark, warm places.) The other thing is, if you know for sure you’re going to be doing the above-mentioned romping in long grass and shrubbery, take some preventive measures. Wear long sleeves and tuck your long pants into your socks. Wear lightcoloured clothing so you can see the ticks and, as much as you may not like to do so, spray your clothes with insect repellent that contains DEET. The Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit has good information about what ticks look like and what you should do when you ﬁnd one, including how to remove an embedded tick. You can ﬁnd info at http://www. healthunit.org by clicking the “Lyme Disease” topic item. For such a little beast these critters can cause a lot of damage. They make me look back fondly on the days of burlap and caterpillars. Nevertheless, we shall persevere. We shall play outside and we shall get used to doing tick checks. Stupid ticks.

Personal meets political in gay rights vote

ou’d think I’d have run out of things to say about politics – and this’ll be the last for a while, I promise – but I wouldn’t be surprised if my cousin Jason is still dancing at The George, Ireland’s most famous gay bar, even now. I haven’t seen Jason in ages, and best remember him as a curly-headed little boy playing with his toys at Gran’s house in the 1990s. Now, a PhD student, we reconnected online when he was canvassing, virtually and in real time, for a Yes vote in Ireland’s same-sex marriage referendum last Friday, May 22. I was so proud of him for getting out there and making his voice heard. So many people stay at home and complain that nothing will ever change – Jason went out and made sure that, even if he lost, it wasn’t from any lack of effort on his part. He left it all out there on the dance ﬂoor, so to speak, and it paid off when every riding in the country (except Roscommon-South Leitrim) voted in favour of allowing him to marry the man of his fancy. It passed by about 61 per cent to 39. Jason was ﬁrst in line with his mother

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says and her husband to vote at his polling station last week, and reported that he managed to “hold it together” when he marked his ballot. Hours before the vote, he wrote on Facebook (where all of his quotes in this column come from), “Me nerves,” sounding a lot like our late grandmother. “I’m an emotional wreck. I hope it’s not against the rules to cry in the polling booth.” (To this, my cousin Susan replied that if it were against the rules to cry while voting, no Devoy would ever be allowed to vote!) This is one of those moments when the personal meets the political. There are gay family members on both sides of my family, and now, for the ﬁrst time ever, the citizens of a country – not a parliament – have voted by popular vote

to allow gay people to marry. What is astonishing is that Ireland stubbornly refused to move with the times and kept its Victorian-era laws banning homosexuality until 1993 – and even then, lifted the ban only after it was compelled to do so by a European Union court. Jason joked that canvassing was “good exercise,” but added, “I don’t really see canvassing as political activism (even though it clearly is.)…It’s all a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, to be honest.” The best, funniest moment for him had to have been when he was canvassing in Kells, County Meath. It was well worth the trip for Jason, where he met a lot of Yes voters, and “I converted two No’s to Don’t Knows.” He met “one ﬁrm No,” and the interaction was priceless, and certainly did not go how the No voter would have expected it to. “I’m voting No, but, if you can tell me even one other animal in nature that does that sort of thing, I’ll vote Yes,” said the man.

They have also encouraged kids to golf, as clubs are available at both Perth courses free for any youth to use. New this year? The Perth Firedawgs ball hockey season launched in Perth. And, boy, has this new offering ever been a hit. There are 250 kids ages 15 and under participating in the nine-week program, which operates out of the Perth Community Centre.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR DEAR EDITOR:

Your editorial of a couple of weeks ago regarding garbage on our highways was timely. Pitch-In fortnight has officially finished, but volunteers are still welcome to clean up roads and verges around Otty Lake. But I have to wonder about the casual way drivers strew the countryside with garbage and I am horrified by the amount of litter found in the verges.

I came up with the brilliant idea but sadly not original, if we all carried a paper or polythene bag in our car and when we have ﬁnished eating our repast to put it in the bag and take it home. Littering needs to be socially unacceptable - after all do we really want our children to think that garbage thrown out onto the highway is a good thing? Elizabeth Allcock, Perth

Joni Selgiman visited Rhode Island earlier this year with local potter Anne Chambers where Selgiman’s late husband Jackie Seaton was recognized for starting the Empty Bowls project. John Hartom and Lisa Blackburn started Empty Bowls 25 years ago and Selgiman gave them one of Jackie’s bowls when they met at the Rhode Island opening of the Empty Bowls Project’s 25th anniversary exhibition in March. Seaton is featured in a poster on display. The exhibition, open until Aug. 1, is at the Culinary Arts Museum, Johnson and Wales University, in Providence, R.I.

A Small Hole Can Sink a Big Ship A proverb states that, “For want of a nail the horseshoe was lost. For want of a horseshoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the battle was lost.” All this due to the want of a nail! Napoleon Bonaparte once remarked that trivial things often decide the outcome of a battle. They can also decide the outcome of your health. It’s tragic that one in five North Dr. Gifford-Jones Americans have no teeth after the age of 65. It’s also unfortunate that many people naively believe that poor dental hygiene simply means loss of teeth. Think again, because being toothless could end your life. Mother’s advice was right, that teeth should be brushed after every meal. But Mother can’t be expected to be perfect, and what she didn’t know causes gum disease (gingivitis). What happens is that gums become infected and pull away from teeth, forming deep pockets where bacteria accumulate. And for want of good gums, the result may be bad breath, infection, lost teeth and other health problems. For example, infection lurking in diseased gums can spread in blood circulation to the heart, causing a condition called bacterial endocarditis. When this happens, bacteria infect the heart’s valves which separate the chambers of the heart. This can be a life-threatening condition. For example, bacteria can travel to the brain causing a stroke. Or bacteria carried by the blood can create pockets of pus in the kidney and other organs. Bacterial endocarditis, if left untreated, can, on rare occasions, result in either severe disability or death. Valves infected by bacteria become inefficient allowing some blood to remain in the heart’s chambers. This makes the heart’s muscle work harder and eventually death results from congestive heart failure. What a tragedy all for the want of good dental hygiene! Several years ago a Sottish Health Survey revealed that those who had gingivitis showed an increase of C-Reactive Protein and fibrinogen in their blood. The blood tests indicated a general inflammatory process was taking place in arteries. Researchers concluded this resulted in a 25 to 75 percent increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A report from the Mayo Clinic says that gingivitis has even been linked to premature birth and low birth weight. Gingivitis has also played a role in the epidemic of diabetes. Patients who have diabetes are more prone to develop infections and also more likely to suffer from diseased gums. These pockets of infection make it more difficult for patients to control blood sugar levels. But what was lacking in Mother’s advice? Unfortunately she had not read enough history to provide the best information about preventing gingivitis. In the 15th century Professor Givanna of Padua University suggested, “If all particles of food were removed from between teeth after each meal and the mouth cleaned night and morning, care could be effective”. Mothers were unaware that children and adults can brush their teeth a dozen times after each meal and food will still be left between them. This no man’s land between teeth traps food, promotes infection, pulls gums away from teeth and destroys the tough periodontal fibers that hold teeth in place. The solution to preventing gingivitis is easy and obvious. Some prefer using dental floss. But for years I’ve preferred StimU-Dents, similar but better than toothpicks, to remove particles of food from between teeth. And in my 92nd year I have not lost a single tooth. Years ago I realized how hard it is to get preventative health messages across. I spent several days aboard the USS Nimitz, the nuclear aircraft carrier. The average age of the crew was 19 and it required seven dentists on board to repair dental decay in 6,000 sailors! Small things in life can make a big difference. It’s been said that a small hole can sink a big ship. And that for the want of a nail a battle and a kingdom can be lost. And for the want of Stim-U-Dents or dental floss, teeth more precious than diamonds can be lost. R0013292896_0528

To which Jason replied, “Well, it’s funny you should say that, because actually, I’m a zoologist and there are a huge number of animal species that practice it.” He then began listing off the LGBT members of the Animal Kingdom (who knew?) like giraffes, seagulls, black swans, etc., who bat for the other team. (What are the odds of the No voter saying that, only to find he was talking to a zoologist?) Well, this No voter “showed himself to be a liar,” when, Jason having proven his point, said, “I think it’s disgusting,” and didn’t follow up on his promise. He later wrote that he could have told the voter that “two male black swans actually make better parents than opposite-sex couples. However, the gay male swans have a tendency to steal their children from opposite-sex couples, so, it’s probably not the best way to sway someone in this referendum.” The evening went better when one fellow referred to gay people as “queers” whom he “managed to actually convert to a possible Yes. That felt great.”

What meant the most for him was that he was not alone. He went out in Dublin one night with a first-time canvasser, “who left her husband at home with their newborn child to come out and knock on people’s doors. A Yes vote will not impact her life in any direct way. Pure altruism.” They also had the help of thousands of members of the Irish Diaspora who arrived by plane and boat from around the world to get back to vote. All the flights back to Dublin were booked up. Straight couples, literally on their way to get married that day, stopped by, in their top hat and tails or wedding dresses, to mark their ballot, so that other couples could enjoy the same joy of a wedding day. Of all of the joys that life can afford, a good marriage is one of the best. I have been so blessed to have a wonderful marriage. Marrying Stacey was the best thing I have ever done. And now, wee Jason (though he’s not so wee anymore) can one day know the joy of domestic bliss for himself. But, in the meantime, he’ll be happy talking to animals, both gay and straight, and, in good Devoy fashion, he’ll keep on dancing.

a column titled “Rollin’ Around” (roller skating): “There is a great deal of talent among these young people, and you can bet that they’ll get all the help they need to develop it. Already there are two or three dance teams forming who show real promise. Eric Devlin and Joan Barrie show all the earmarks of being real skaters, and both are putting their minds on the steps, as they are done correctly.” Did you know? During WW II the Allied Army

Middleville play must go on, a little later than usual

“The play’s the thing,” as Shakespeare said, and it has been “the thing” for the members of the Middleville Players in recent months, as they rehearse for their latest production. The annual Middleville plays usually take place in early April, but due to a variety of reasons, it was delayed until late May this year. Over My Dead Body, a two-act comedy written by Derek Benfield, will take place from Thursday to Saturday, May 28-30, at 7 p.m. at Trinity United Church in Middleville. The play is a comedy, and also a slight departure from some years of non-stop action and slapstick comedy. Over My Dead Body highlights Gerry (Lorne Dale) as a very recent widower, who just wants to be left alone but has a daughter, son-in-law and sister-in-law who are concerned for his welfare. Throw in Isobel (Gena Gibson), an old friend with a secret, and Mrs. Capstick (Shayna Wark), a surprising cleaning lady, and poor Gerry decides he has to come up with a plan to counteract the “forward planning” of his late wife, Helen. With help from daughter Shirley (Carla Schonauer) and son-in-law Mark (Shawn Gibson), Gerry hatches a plan. Will it do the trick? Pick up your tickets at the Lanark Era office at 66 George St. in Lanark village, or reserve them by calling 613-259-5692 or e-mailing jgibson@storm.ca, and you can find out on May 28, 29 or 30. Over My Dead Body is a play written by Derek Benfield, who was an English playwright and actor. He is one in a long line of playwrights used by the Middleville Players for their spring plays, which began in 1986 and have been almost continuous since then – first in the former Lanark Township Hall (now the Middleville Community Centre), and in recent years, at Trinity United Church. Toots Borrowman began the plays, bringing together family members, friends and acquaintances to perform for their neighbours and those further afield. Toots died at the age of 89 last November, but her plays live on. Submitted by Gena Gibson

Ontario Skills champs hail from PDCI Big Blue

Larissa Churchill and Emily Canie

PDCI media students, Leo Evangelho and Daniel Van Noppen, placed third in TV-Video Production at Ontario Skills Championships recently. Students compete against each other by making a video on an assigned topic the morning of the competition. They first have to compete against students from other schools within UCDSB to reach provincial championships, then against competitors from eight other school boards in Kingston. Placing first here allowed them to compete at provincial championships against 23 other teams. The third place finish is both a school and UCDSB first in the TV-Video competition. Leo plans to return next year and Daniel is graduating and will attend Humber College for TV-Video production in the fall. The Blue Devils baseball team travelled to Beckwith to begin its season. The team left Beckwith with two very convincing wins as it defeated Smiths Falls 15-5 and then defeated Carleton Place 14-4. Congratulations team! The junior girls soccer team won their semifinal game against Notre Dame by a score of 5-1. Goal scorers were Sydney Deacon with two, Robin Nash, Olivia Bourque and Romy Hansen. Nicole Fielding kept us in the game early with a great save on a penalty shot. The team then travelled to Smiths Falls for the finals, where they suffered a 3-1 loss to the RedHawks in the Lanark County championship game.

Mackenzie Whyte scored the lone goal for PDCI. The girls had a terrific season and are looking forward to next year. Last Tuesday, the Senior Boys Soccer team played in the LCIAA semi finals in Smiths Falls. The boys played a strong first half and it was a no-score deadlock at the break. The seniors ended up losing 3-1. Good effort! Also on Tuesday, Becca Fowler and Sam Vannoppen travelled to Kingston to participate in the EOSSAA tennis tournament. The team played Regiopolous first and came up a little short putting them in the consolation round where they played a great match and beat South Grenville. This put them in the consolation finals against Glengarry. They played a great match with great serving and excellent communication but ended up a little short with a score of 6-3. Congratulations on a great season Becca and Sam and on your first but not last, trip to EOSSAA tennis!

Discussing the best ways to charge several devices in your vehicle “Good morning, Brian... My question for the Car Counsellor concerns charging electronic devices while driving. Drivers may now be using a number of devices such as GPS, car camcorder, portable satellite radio, and cell phone, which may all need power to recharge/operate while on the road. I have a single 12V power outlet/charger in the dash directly under the radio while a second outlet is found in the console, which means there will be a longer cord draped across cup holders and shifter if I need to use that outlet to charge a device on the dash/window. What is the best way to get multi-device use from the single outlet located in the most convenient place? If, for example, devices charge via a USB connection, then something like this device makes sense. However, would it be better to use a duplex plug (not USB) in the best outlet and then use each device’s converter/ cord with its somewhat large “transformer” (or whatever it is called) assuming there is space for two such transformers in the dash under the radio? Many thanks for considering my question...” Cheers, Stephen For low power draw devices such as you’ve mentioned, a vehicle power-point adapter with multiple USB outlets should do the trick. Even with more than one unit (GPS, smart-phone,

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

radio) plugged in the draw shouldn’t overcome the vehicle’s fuse that protects the power outlet circuit. However, larger draw accessories such as 12V coolers or air pumps should only be used one at a time and preferably plugged directly into the power outlet without a USB adapter. Most of today’s vehicles only use a 10 or 15 amp fuse to protect the outlet circuit and an older cooler or pump or one with damaged wiring can easily blow the fuse. It’s a good idea to learn where the outlet fuse is located and to have a few spares on hand. Keep in mind most of these outlets are ignition-switched meaning they are only powered up with the key in the run or accessory positions. By now many of us have been inundated with news reports of the expansion of the recent air-bag recall due to defective Takata air-bag inflators. This company supplied air-bag components to 11 different carmakers and some of the inflators have sent metal fragments at high speeds towards drivers. In the US, the National Highway and Traffic

Safety Administration reports that six fatalities and more than 100 injuries have been linked to these failures. This recall has the potential to become the largest consumer product campaign ever. Nissan, one of the automakers involved had the best description of the defect, “The propellant could potentially deteriorate over time due to environmental factors [due to many years in high humidity conditions], which could lead to over-aggressive combustion in the event of an airbag deployment. This could create excessive internal pressure within the inflator and could cause the inflator housing to rupture.” These inflators can be found in vehicles made by Acura, Infiniti, BMW, Lexus, Chrysler, Mazda, Dodge, Nissan, Ford, Subaru, General Motors, Toyota and Honda. To check if your vehicle is involved, you can call your automakers consumer line with your vehicle serial number or for less on-hold time, contact your nearest authorized dealership. The latest reports indicate that almost 34 million vehicles may be involved and Takata has ramped up their production to almost one million units per month. At this rate it will take months to produce enough parts to complete the recalls. As there is no inspection process to indicate whether or not an air bag is at risk, it’s pretty difficult for owners to know what to do. No automaker will voluntarily offer to provide

replacement transportation if a client decides they don’t want to drive their vehicle until repairs are completed. The supply of parts and timing of the recall notices are completely up to the automaker, so retailers have no inﬂuence or input towards the process. It’s collector/hotrod car show season and the nicer weather is bringing out the chrome in droves. Do yourself and your family a favour and take a Sunday tour of some of the ﬁnest wheels to be found. On Sunday, May 31 the Bandit Motorsports Car Show comes to Wendover from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It’s open to all.

She says goodbye to Lynne (Reid), Diane (Alex), Ross (Diane), her only grandchild, Hannah Loshak, (Sheila, Scott, Rosemary, in Victoria) (David, Mary Anne, John Anthony, in England) the Cowper and Loshak extended family, and the family dog, Duffy.

Tyler Sandes is graduating from Police Foundations at Algonquin College’s Perth campus with a PolicePrep Award of Excellence.

That includes safety gear (life jackets), rods and reels, bait, snacks and drinks. “Larger groups are more cost effective,” Ian noted. “We can accommodate up to six people on a pontoon boat, but that would be for shallow water fishing (like bass).” They have the down riggers on the 23-foot trawler for the deep-water anglers looking for trout, pike and pickerel. Ian guarantees guests will catch fish – most of the time. “I don’t guarantee pickerel (walleye),” he said. “At least not yet. But bass and pike, yes, that’s pretty much a guarantee. Those fish are found in the waters up around Portland and Westport, where the water’s deeper.” If you are a little squeamish about taking fish off a hook – or baiting a hook even, never fear, Ian can help you out. “He’s a wealth of information,” Dawn said about her husband. “He knows a lot about fishing.”

through hands-on learning experiences and students are encouraged to participate in activities on campus and in the community. While completing his Police Foundations studies, Sandes volunteered with Victim Services and the Big Brothers mentoring program, spread holiday cheer at Christmas parades and served a term as the Director of the Perth Campus’s Students’ Association. He credits the support of his classmates and faculty with helping him to balance his academic and extracurricular commitments. “My classmates and I had a team mentality, so we all helped and supported each other. I think that contributed a lot to my academic success,” Sandes said. “I’d like to thank Gerry for nominating me and supporting the whole class in general by putting in extra hours to be part of the community and to help us advance our careers.” Sandes also expressed gratitude to PolicePrep and this year’s awards selection committee, thanking them “for their interest in assisting students… and supporting the learning that we do in the classroom in a very practical way.” Sandes is set to graduate this June. Now that his studies have wrapped up, he plans to continue volunteering and pursuing opportunities to further develop his professional skills. The Police Foundations program at the Algonquin College, Perth Campus is a two-year Ontario College Diploma program that prepares students to pursue careers in community justice and law enforcement. More information about the program can be found online at algonquincollege.com/ perth.

Ian teaches the catch and release techniques, and for conservation anglers, it’s about saving the best ones for eating. If you’re looking for a shore lunch while on a charter, that request can also be accommodated. There will be winter fishing tours available too, as the Traynors have fishing shacks available for rent. “They are more comfortable and durable than your traditional fishing hut,” said Dawn. “For winter ice fishing, we can catch a lot of whitefish; they’re more prevalent around here in the winter time,” said Ian. The Traynors are also able to offer accommodations with packages that include overnight stays at the nearby Rideau Ferry Inn. “We have rods and reels, lots of tackle, and line for sale in the bait shop, too,” Dawn added. “Live bait includes minnows and worms.” To book a tour, or for more information, call 613-572-BAIT, or email ian@gethookedfishing. ca.

The Algonquin College, Perth Campus is proud to announce that Tyler Sandes, a graduating student from the Police Foundations program, has received a PolicePrep Award of Excellence (East Region) to recognize his academic excellence, leadership and commitment to community involvement. This award has been given out eight years now and the winners are selected by the group that runs the Justice and Public Safety Coordinator’s Conference each year. The award promotes recognition for the truly exceptional students in the programs throughout the province. “Over the past two years, Tyler has consistently displayed leadership, integrity and teamwork,” Gerry Salisbury, Police Foundations program coordinator at the Algonquin College, Perth Campus stated. “I was overjoyed to be notified that he was the recipient of the PolicePrep Award for eastern Ontario colleges. It is a credit to our program that we have students that are so dedicated to the community and their fellow students. Through Tyler winning this award, it has simply added more credibility to the type of student we are producing through our program and the tremendous education that our faculty provides through their expertise and commitment.” “It’s really nice to be recognized for something that I really enjoy doing,” Sandes said, adding that his ambition is to turn his passion for policing into a career with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). “This award will help me with my goal of becoming an OPP officer.” Algonquin College believes in the importance of connecting students with their community

Student Les Coughlin practices the Algonquin language using a special computer program set up in the Algonquin Language Lab at Perth and District Collegiate Institute.

For decades, aboriginal peoples have been struggling to preserve their language and their culture. The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), in cooperation with the Akwesasne Economic Development Agency, is working to help change that for residents of Algonquin heritage in the western part of the board. The partnership has established a new Algonquin Language Lab at Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) through which people of both Algonquin and non-native descent can learn the language. “The lab was established to help bring the language back to the people,” said Danka Brewer, a native Algonquin and a cultural consultant who teaches at the lab. “The Algonquin language is nearly extinct and not a lot of people in Ontario speak it anymore. “Unless you have someone to teach it to you, you don’t know it.” It is critical for Algonquins to learn their language as a way to preserve and strengthen their cul-

ture, she stressed. “It’s important because when we’re able to speak the language, and understand what the words mean, it brings our culture to life,” she said. The lab currently offers a 30hour course in introductory Algonquin. Students learn words and phrasing designed to equip a speaker to express information such as greetings, time, numbers, seasons and weather. The class also reviews basic verbs and how to build basic sentences. Students attend one, three-hour class every Thursday evening, benefitting from both personal instruction from Brewer and use of the language lab’s Can8 computer program. Students are also free to log into the program remotely at any time they wish to practice. The goal of the course is to prepare students to attend a native ceremony or celebration and be able to communicate in basic terms – such as offering a greeting

to another person and telling them where you are from. The lab’s computer program is very user-friendly, said Brewer. A student can log in and begin by learning basic words such as “Kwey”, which means “Hi” in English, and then move on to phrasing. When a student participates in a lesson, the program displays a word in large letters featuring the correct spelling and accents which tell the reader which syllables to emphasize. Students can also listen to a recording of the word being pronounced properly through the audio portion of the program, and view an electronic signature which offers another visual cue. The program allows a student to write a word properly and practice it by recording their own pronunciation. A student can then compare their pronunciation to the sound and electronic signature of a correct pronunciation. The program permits Brewer to log into a student’s account and

see how they are progressing. She can listen to their pronunciation of the exercises and then provide students with written suggestions on ways they can improve. Students say the classes are important to them. Les Coughlin, a native Algonquin from Smiths Falls, said he is taking the course because his young grandson has expressed an interest in his Algonquin heritage and this is a way they can both learn. “That is my native language,” said Coughlin. “If I can speak to others to narrow down a little more information about my family tree and native heritage it would help my grandson.” Coughlin also enjoys use of the Can8 program while learning Algonquin. “It gives me a chance to hear it, and speak it, and if I don’t say it right I can listen to it again, and repeat it again, and it comes out pretty good that way.” Submitted by Mark Calder, UCDSB

SUMMER ROAD MAINTENANCE The following services are typically delivered from May to October: Grading and Shouldering Granular roads are graded 4 times per year or more depending upon the impact the weather and traffic has upon the condition of the roadway. Early spring grading is light in nature to rid the road of the pot holes. Late spring grading is to shape the road and prepare it for dust suppression and base stabilizing calcium chloride applications. If all goes well there will be a later summer grade and finally a fall grade to prepare the roads for winter travel. In general you cannot grade when the road is wet or about to be wet.

ATV and Marine Safety Date: Saturday, June 13, 2015

Shouldering is more random in nature and is in response to heavy runoff caused by spring thaw or heavy precipitation and related washouts.

Time: 10:00 a.m.— Noon Location: Tay Valley Township Municipal Office (Council Chambers) 217 Harper Road

Granular Lift Program Granular is applied to approximately 25 km of selected roads in May to June in conjunction with the grading program.

Getting ready for summer camp School is soon out, the sun is up, and swimming is on! Is there any better way to spend your summer of 2015 than at the Rideau Lakes Day Camp? This fun-filled, action-packed program is sure to satisfy every kid’s desire. With activities such as canoeing, swimming lessons, free swim, arts and crafts, group games, and exploring the trails, the fun at Rideau Lakes Day Camp never stops. For many, many years, the Rideau Lakes Day Camp has been run at Sand Lake Park in Elgin. Although camp is in Elgin, bussing is offered and there are six different stops children can be picked up and dropped off at. “Last year was incredibly successful. Our sessions booked right up, and everyone who joined us had a blast,” says camp coordinator Laura Kayser. Every two weeks, the camp has a different theme. This year’s themes are Country & Western, Superheroes, Wacky Science, and Carnival. These weekly themes will be incorporated into different crafts, games, and Drama Dazzlers. Our Drama Dazzlers are very special to the camp. At the end of every session, all campers and staff members work together to produce a sensational and entertaining play, which is then performed for family and friends who are invited to join us at camp for the show. “The Drama Dazzlers are so much fun,” says assistant coordinator Lindsay O’Neill. “It really brings everyone at camp together.” When visiting the local public schools to in-

They all seem very eager to come back this year,” noted O’Neill. Fully trained lifeguards and swim instructors are always present at the waterfront. The camp offers Red Cross certified swimming lessons to all campers at no extra cost. “This is a great feature that we are lucky to have at our camp. The kids love receiving their swim badges at the end of their two week session,” said Kayser. The Rideau Lakes Day Camp coordinators are looking forward to the exciting summer they have planned. Please register for camp prior to the registration deadline on June 19. This allows staff appropriate time to prepare camp groups, special events, and bussing schedule accordingly.

Film premiere: The Story of Perth Almonte documentary filmmakers Robert and Sharon Newton are pleased to announce their latest documentary film entitled “The Story of Perth”. To properly accommodate the rich and fascinating history of Perth, the film is a three-hour series composed of two 90-minute, feature length films. Part One tells the fascinating and compelling stories of the historic town from its founding in 1816 as a military settlement, through to the dawn of the modern era at the end of World War Two. There are stories of the tumultuous, often whiskey-soaked early years complete with deadly encounters and other gruesome and ghostly events. There are also stories of many highly accomplished people and their stellar achievements along with vignettes from the every day lives of well known, and not so well known Perthites. The first film features over 100 historic photos, gorgeous high definition footage of modern day Perth, and on-camera interviews with many long time residents, some of whom are also extensively

well researched historians, and all of whom have wonderful first hand stories, memories and knowledge about the people, places and events that make up the heritage and history of Perth. Part One will premiere in the Full Circle Theatre at 26 Craig Street in Perth at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 5. There will be additional showings at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 6. Tickets are available from Tickets Please and at the door. Please visit www.ticketsplease.ca or call 613-485-6434 for more details. The second film in the series will be released in November of 2015. It will pick the story up where Part One leaves off and continue right up until the fall of 2015 on the eve of the town’s 200th anniversary. “The Story of Perth” will be available on DVD and high definition Blu-ray. You can find out more about “The Story of Perth” and the Newtons’ other films by visiting www.newtonfilms.ca

Stingrays bid farewell to beloved coach STAFF

It is with mixed feelings that we want to announce that Wendy Wagland will be moving away from Perth at the end of this month. She and her husband Peter have sold their house and are moving to the Lindsay area to be closer to their grandchildren. We are very happy for her, but also sad to be losing such a great coach! Wagland has been coaching with the Stingrays since 2003 when she ﬁrst moved to Perth. She says when she ﬁrst started, she didn’t know a soul in Perth and that the Stingrays changed all of that! “The Stingrays have been a big part of my life here in Perth, for the past 12 years,” she said. “I have watched the swimmers have great successes, work through some ups and downs and break numerous club records. Seeing the swimmers grow and develop into responsible, young adults has

been most rewarding.” Wagland has been such a great coach and inspiration to all the swimmers with her own amazing accomplishments in the pool. Her dedication to the sport of swimming has had a huge affect on the Perth Stingrays. “Being a competitive swimmer brings many rewards. Not only are you so physically ﬁt, it takes a lot of perseverance, discipline and mental toughness,” she said during her farewell gathering at the pool on Monday night. “You also learn to set goals and to push your limits. These qualities will take you far; affecting your schooling, job choices, and all that you set out to accomplish in life.” The club extended its best wishes to her and Peter with their move and their adjustment to a new location, however the Stingrays say they feel It will likely never equal Perth!

Ladies enjoy special events to celebrate 125th anniversary of Perth Golf Course As part of the ongoing 125th anniversary celebrations at Perth Golf Course in 2015, the weekly Ladies League (happening Tuesdays) will run special events once a month. Two different captains are selected each month to help choose the theme. This month’s captains, Elna Pfeiffer and Donna Mitchell, decided that Tuesday, May 19 would be ‘Throwback Tuesday.’ The ladies dressed up in attire from the early1900s, and on the par-3 8th hole each participant also took turns using old persimmon clubs. Barb Geroux of Perth hit the best shot of the day, knock-

ing one of the old persimmon woods to just five inches. She dropped the birdie putt as well. More than 20 women participated in the special event, including Geroux and Gayle Grass. Grass, who says her history in the area is more than six generations, had an excellent time with her golfing gals. “I still get the same uneven lies as I did 60 years ago!” says Grass, laughing. “It was a fun day playing with old clubs and having everyone dressed up.” And it wasn’t just the participants who were

dressed up. Perth’s newly minted director of golf, James Paterson, pulled on some knickers for the occasion as well. “It was a fabulous day with our fabulous ladies,” says Paterson. “Perth’s mantra for 2015 is ‘Come Play History’ and we really personified that today. To see the energy of all our participants and how much fun everyone was having was really exciting. We can’t wait for more events like this this year.” Thunderbird Management Services Inc. of Ottawa, Perth’s new management company, was also on-hand for most of the day. Rob Knights, the

Vice-President of Operations, was thrilled with what he saw. “An event like this really shows how community-oriented Perth Golf Course is,” says Knights. “We’re happy to hear that James and the staff will be hosting more events like this as the year goes on. Not to mention, the golf course is in fantastic condition as well.” The golf course will be holding its formal 125th anniversary celebrations later this summer, with more details of a pro-am tournament, along with events at the course, to come.

Golfers enjoy night on the Perth greens The men’s league at the Perth Golf Course had a stellar evening on the greens on May 19. The teams of Barry Murphy, Brad Hasler, Skip Patterson and Ron McLaren and John Gow, Cliff Warner, Bob Pelletier and Bruce Neil each scored a 36 on the front. There were two teams as well with a 40 on the back. Bob Taylor, Bob Burch, Alex Jopling and Dave Russett and Kirk Lidbetter, Bob Leitch, Greg Anderson and Dave Hyslop were the other team. Will O’Grady didn’t win anything but he wanted to get his name in the paper to prove he was actually golfing. Well, where there is a Will there is a way. Long Drives in the various categories were by

John Fawcett, Al Moncrieff, Toby James, Gord Buchan and Kirk Lidbetter. Randy Rogers was closest to the pin on No. 8 to win the Burns Jewelers Gift Certificate draw entry and Greg Anderson was closest on No. 15 to take home the Lanark Landing $25 gift certificate. Brent and Avis Brownlee of Brownlee’s Metro sponsored the May 19 Perth Links O’ Tay Men’s Twilight League play. It was a 4-man best ball tonight with many low scores. Next week the evening will be sponsored by Pierre Hofstadter and the Perth Canadian Tire Centre. Submitted by Bob Burch

Special Olympics celebrate athletes at annual banquet in Lanark Special Olympics Perth and District held its annual awards banquet on Saturday, May 9 at the Lanark Civitan Hall. Over 90 volunteers, coaches, athletes and their families attended. All athletes were recognized for their achievements this past year, however, a few athletes received special recognition. Sam McKay received the Phil Duchene award for most dedication to sport and community. Sam participates in basketball, bowling and softball. He was part of the Perth Hoops basketball team which lost in a two-point heart breaker in the ﬁnals of the Arnprior Basketball Tournament in February.

Lora Brunshaw of Smiths Falls received the Mike Kyle award, given to the most improved player, for her contributions in basketball, bowling and softball also. The Bill Dunlop volunteer of the year award went to Louise Duchene, who has been a dedicated and valued volunteer with Special Olympics for many years. Special Olympics Perth and District has 10 volunteers, seven coaches and an active Community Council. The Lanark Civitan Club kindly donated the use of the hall and the wonderful roast beef dinner,

while DJ Pat Labelle donated his services for the dance portion of the evening. Also, the Special Olympics bowling team, the Sunset Stingers, did well at a provincial qualifying meet on May 2 in Napanee. Teams from all over southern Ontario participated. Contributing to their strong showing was their new bowling uniforms, generously donated by the Perth Civitan. Both the Lanark and Perth Civitan clubs have long been key supporters of Special Olympics

Perth and District, contributing valuable assistance with uniforms and equipment upgrades in the last number of years. Special Olympics Perth and District offers swimming, bowling, snowshoeing and basketball programs in the winter, as well as softball and soccer in the summer. They are always looking for volunteers. If you want more information about their programs, please call 613-267-4467.

Two big hits coming in June as Station Theatre celebrates its fifth year After a run of five years of wonderful plays, movies and concerts, the Smiths Falls Station Theatre is proud to present two great productions on its stage in June. Opening on June 4 and running until June 14 is the play Nana’s Naughty Knickers, written by Katherine DiSavino, directed by Sheila Jasiak and featuring a veteran cast. Then on June 27, at 8 p.m. the Station Theatre will present another in its new music series – a concert by Patrick Lehman, dubbed by CBC Music as “Canada’s best kept Soul secret.” Nana’s Naughty Knickers is a 90-minute romp for mature audiences. Bridget, played by Nicki Hayes, and her grandmother Sylvia, played by Emily Duberville, are about to become roommates. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favourite Nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from her rent-controlled apartment, selling hand-made naughty knickers to senior citizens throughout the five boroughs area! Will her Nana get arrested – or worse! – evicted? Will Bridget be able to handle all the excitement? Will the smiles and chuckles continue for the audience beyond the curtain call? We think the answer is a resounding “yes,” because the theme of the play – about old age, acceptance, and the beauty of looking at things from a different angle – is one that director Sheila Jasiak is sure will appeal to our audiences. Mix in a love interest for Bridget in the form of Tom, the overly helpful police officer; a very grumpy landlord intent on getting

Soul/R&B musician Patrick Lehman will perform at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls on June 27. Lehman recently made it to the regional finals of the CBC Searchlight music competition. He played the theatre two years ago and is back by popular demand. Nana evicted; an employee of Nana’s competition; as well as some hard working UPS delivery people and Nana’s best client and you have an evening of mix-ups, confusions and laugh-out-loud

moments that will leave you wanting to call your Nana just to make sure she’s not up to anything naughty. Show times on June 4, 5, 6, 12 and 13 are at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday matinees,

on June 7 and 14 are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students (with ID), with special group rates also available. Call the Station Theatre at 613-283-0300 for details and to order by

credit card. Tickets may be purchased for cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell Street East, online (smithsfallstheatre. com, via Paypal/Visa/Mastercard), and at the door for cash only (subject to availability, a half-hour before the performance). Patrick Lehman and his band appeared on our stage two years ago and gave the audience a fantastic evening of Soul/R&B music that left patrons on their feet and wanting more. He’s back after touring in Europe and continuing an exciting career that recently took him to the regional ﬁnals of the CBC Searchlight music competition. He has been written about in International Musician Magazine, Elle Magazine and Jazzism Magazine to remarkable reviews. Following his recent tour in Holland, the Dutch magazine Linda called him a “top 5 to download” artist alongside Raul Midon and David Bowie. Elle Magazine Netherlands described his latest album as being “as warm as whiskey.” Tickets for the Patrick Lehman concert on June 27, which starts at 8 p.m., are $25; this includes a refreshment of your choice. And to keep the celebration going we are offering a wine cash bar before the concert and at intermission. Don’t miss it! Tickets are available by phone (Via/Mastercard) and online at www.smithsfallstheatre.com. Tickets will also be sold for cash only at the door (subject to availability, a half-hour before the performance). Call 613-2830300 to check. The Station Theatre, we remind you, is located at 53 Victoria Avenue, Smiths Falls. Submitted by the Smiths Falls Community Theatre.

Match made in heaven: her 1970 Mustang Mach 1 and his 1973 Vega GT I’m always looking for more stor- Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H free autographed copy of my book: ies. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca 3W2. Everyone whose story is pub- “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURor write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. lished in my column will receive a ITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.” But the bore and stroke differed between the two engines, with the 428 having 335 horsepower and the 429 with 375. Soon after Pam bought hers, a rod went through a piston and the engine was replaced with a 390 V8 at Dave Korneilson’s gas station at the west end of town. Even though the new engine had 38 fewer cubic inches, the car seemed just as fast as before. Pam was a waitress at the Tropicana Restaurant on Erie Street South when Jerry came in with a bunch of Submitted photos pals. That’s when Jerry noticed Pam and Above, Pam’s 1970 Mustang after the next owner restored it. Below, Jerry’s ’73 Vega GT with 4-speed on the Pam noticed Jerry, who at that time floor. was driving a ’73 Vega GT with a 4-speed stick shift on the ﬂoor. They started dating, and often drove each other’s cars. Pam loved the stick shift in the Vega, and Jerry enjoyed driving her Mustang. Cupid ﬁred his arrows and they were married in 1976. Today, Jerry and Pam own a 1981 Camaro Z28 with T-roof and 4-speed recently featured in this column. And their son Jason is also a motorhead with a passion for motorcycles. You can email them at jerrycamaro@ hotmail.com. R0013298300

Pam Foldesi of Leamington, Ontario, is a self-confessed motorhead. Before she and her husband Jerry were married in 1976, she had owned three Mustangs, and still owned one of them when they met. The first was a blue 1969 Mach 1 with a 3-speed floor shift and a 351 cubic inch Windsor V8 with 250 horsepower. The 1969 Mach 1 fastback coupe was new for 1969 and stood apart from the other Mustangs with a special grille with driving lamps, a flat black centre hood section with functional air scoop, and a quick-fill gas cap. A total of 72,458 were built. Pam would probably still have her ’69 Mach 1 today if another car had not slammed into the passenger side and totalled her car on Hwy. 77 north of town. She luckily escaped with only a touch of whiplash and two months later bought her second Mustang, a white ’65 fastback with automatic. Sawdust was discovered in the transmission and so Pam took the car to a mechanic to check it over. He said the car was not worth fixing, and that paved the way for her third Mustang, a red 1970 Mach 1 fastback with automatic and a 428 V8 under the hood. In 1970, a Mustang Mach 1 was available with a 428 cubic inch V8 or a 429, only one cubic inch larger than the other.

To make the dressing: 5. In a food processor or blender mix the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until mixed well. 6. While the machine is running gradually add in the olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. 7. Once the orzo is cooled mix the orzo with the chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, basil and mint. 8. Add a ¼ cup of the red wine vinaigrette dressing to the salad and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to eat. 9. When ready to eat you might want to add the remaining dressing and mix well. I tend to take the salad out of the refrigerator and test the salad to see if it needs additional dressing. When the salad sits it tends to absorb the dressing so it helps to add more.

TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR CATCH FRESH One of the upsides to sport fishing is that it’s a summer activity. Basking in the warm sunshine with a cool drink close to hand is a great way to pass the time while waiting for the fish to bite. However, these fishing conditions aren’t always ideal for keeping your catch fresh. Fortunately, this problem can be solved fairly easily, ensuring that you have tasty, fresh fish to cook up at the end of the day. First of all, experts suggest that you kill the fish immediately after they’re caught, so that lactic acid doesn’t form in the muscles while they flounder around in the bottom of the boat or fish basket. Secondly, the best way to preserve the flesh is to put the fish on blocks of ice in a cooler as soon as possible. Some of

paradise! The South Branch flows into the Rideau River and both feature excellent fishing year round. In summer, when the boat traffic picks up, it’s easy to find a quiet spot out of the main channel of the Rideau. The South Branch is 63 km long, but it’s only about 5 km from the Rideau to Kemptville. It has decent depth, lots of foliage and is home to a variety of species, including musky and pike. Some of the best fishing happens in the off season when the boat traffic is quieter. You’ll find some awesome ice fishing holes if you’re keen to bundle up and give it a try! There are lots of places in the area to find bait, tackle and other fishing supplies. Folks can fish licence-free during Family Fishing Events held in the summer (July 4 to 12).

the techniques used in the past, such as placing fish on moss (which may contain bacteria and insects) or leaving the fish basket in the water (which may be warm near the surface), were useful only when there were no other alternatives. For those who don’t want to bother carrying a rigid cooler with them, especially over long distances, there’s a variety of backpacks available. Many of them are insulated, which is perfect for this purpose. Put your catch in a plastic bag first to keep your backpack or cooler clean. After you’re back at the campsite or your home, quickly clean your fish and dispose of the guts in such a way as not to attract animals looking for an easy meal.

FIVE GOOD REASONS TO TREAT YOURSELF TO A BOAT TRIP

TECHNOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENTS AND SPORT FISHING GO HAND IN HAND monofilament, a flexible line that’s resistant to elongation and abrasion and that has low memory. But the most significant innovations have undoubtedly been in reels. The first models, consisting of a free spool drum that was perpendicular to the rod, date back to the 17th century. Before the arrival of the reel, anglers manipulated lines and lures directly by hand, with all the disadvantages you can imagine.

You don’t need to hear the siren call of the sea to get involved in boating; anyone can enjoy getting out on the water. And there are so many reasons to indulge in water sports. Here are just a few. 1. RECONNECT WITH NATURE Water and blue sky meeting on the horizon, the sun beaming down, ducks splashing and stunning scenery: boating allows you to enjoy all the beauty nature can offer. 2. SPEND TIME TOGETHER A boat trip is a great excuse to spend time with friends or family. What could be better than a day talking about everything under the sun or watching the water-skiing prowess of your guests (or their failed attempts)? It means memories and laughter for everyone to share. 3. RELAX You can’t drag yourself away from the routine of your daily life? Cast off and treat yourself to a break. There’s nothing like a boat trip and a day on the water to forget your little problems and reduce stress levels. 4. KEEP FIT Perhaps sunbathing on the deck or chatting with friends isn’t very demanding, but sailing or water skiing are definitely real sports. Getting out on the water is a great way to keep fit, and you’ll see that this kind of exercise can truly become an enjoyable activity. 5. HAVE FUN Lastly, boating is lots of fun. So do it just for the sheer pleasure of being out on the water!

ciency of fishing rods was improved by laminating wood and bamboo. Then, during the 1970s, fibreglass became popular because of its low cost and durability. Today, carbon fibre is used to make incredibly light high-performance rods. Fishing line, which was originally made of silk, horsehair and other natural fibre, was replaced with synthetic products in the 1950s. One good example of this is the nylon

For all intents and purposes, sport fishing refers to the line-catching of fish with a lure or bait. However, fishing equipment manufacturers don’t quite see it that simply and so offer fishing enthusiasts an unimaginable variety of items and gadgets. In all likelihood, sport fishing made its appearance about 500 years ago. At that time, fishing rods were made of bamboo branches, papyrus or other plants. In the late 1800s, the effi-

the Mississippi River and Lake located right here, you can get a great “angle” on the fishing scene! There are multiple access points available. The Mississippi is one of the largest inland lakes in the area, with a perimeter of more than 50 km and a depth reaching 9.2 metres. It features warm waters beloved by walleye, northern pike and small and large mouth bass, along with many other species, such as perch, yellow and brown bullhead and many more. For more details about area lakes, including locations, habitat, common fish species and access points, visit Lanark County Tourism’s website at www.lanarkcountytourism.com and click “Plan Your Trip,” then “Free Brochures” and see the “Lanark County Outdoors Map.”

Vacationing in a cottage is a great way to escape daily routine and accumulated stress. Imagine relaxing to the sound of rustling leaves and bird song and strolling in peaceful surroundings. Whether on a lake shore, at the foot of a mountain, or in a picturesque little village, a cottage allows us to recharge our batteries and get some much-needed rest. You don’t need to own a cottage to be able to take advantage of all the pleasures it can provide. Renting one is easy and not necessarily very expensive. Many cottage owners rent out their second homes when they plan to be away for a certain amount of time. This allows them to make more return on their investment and give others the opportunity to enjoy it for a weekend, a week, or even for the

entire summer. There are many ways to find the perfect cottage. You could ask for references from friends, family, and work colleagues or browse through a vacation rental website. Newspaper classified sections also contain listings of cottage rentals. Before looking, be sure to choose an area that offers the kinds of activities you enjoy. Make sure, also, that the cottage has any features that you may be hoping for, such as a fireplace, spa, access to water or hiking trails, or a breathtaking view. For enjoyable and affordable vacations, renting a cottage with a group is always a winning option. That way, you can share rental costs and meal preparation. Great times, guaranteed!

Family camping at its best Camping is a great way to spend a wonderful family vacation. But don’t forget that careful planning is required for everyone to have fun. First, choose your campground carefully. Ask the kids what kinds of things they think should be included in the trip and decide on a few selection criteria, such as access to a swimming pool or the possibility of renting kayaks. Be

sure to reserve early to have more choice. Also ask about tourist attractions near the campground. If it rains, everybody will be happy to have a museum nearby or a theatre where you can all go and see a movie. If the chosen campground involves a long drive, do it in stages, perhaps stopping at a tourist attraction halfway there. Outdoor living means your children will probably get wet and

dirty from time to time, so be sure to take spare clothes and shoes. Also remember that even in summer, nights can be cool and the sun will not necessarily cooperate during the day. If your kids have favourite toys or teddy bears, bring them along; it will help them feel at home and they’ll sleep better too. Pack some games (board games, cards, books, colouring books, ball, Frisbee, etc.) and

www.dockmaster.ca 613-253-0437 1-866-301-3625

lots of nutritious snacks. After all, the fresh air can make you really hungry! Essential items not to be forgotten: a first aid kit, sunscreen and insect repellent. Lastly, involve the children in the packing. Give them flashlights and disposable cameras to record their trip. Above all, teach them the safety rules around such potential hazards as campfires and bodies of water.

Young Celtic/traditional group stopping at MERA as part of international tour The second concert in MERA’s Sunday Schoolhouse Spring Concert Series will feature one of Canada’s most exciting up-and-coming group of young musicians, who despite their training in jazz and chamber music, have been making a big splash in the folk/roots scene with their unique turn on Celtic and traditional music. Montreal’s the Bombadils will appear at the MERA Schoolhouse on Sunday, May 31 at 2 p.m. The Bombadils first connected in Montreal, over a shared curiosity surrounding the Celtic and bluegrass traditions. They were raised Canadawide and trained in classical and jazz performance. The Bombadils bring music and high spirits to folk clubs, festivals, and forests, allowing their diverse influences to flow naturally through an array of instruments, including flute, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, upright bass, and harmony singing. For over five years, the Bombadils have been enchanting audiences around the world with their unique fusion of traditional, world and progressive folk. Endearingly described as “chamber folk,” the group of cinematic storytellers have intertwined their musical chops (all trained at Montreal’s esteemed McGill University) around an approachable performance style that takes listeners on a journey through history and towards the fu-

Each hailing from their own unique corner of Canada, group members Sarah Frank (fiddle, banjo, vocals), Luke Fraser (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Alan Mackie (bass, vocals) and Anh Phung (flutes, harmonica, vocals), first bonded over a shared curiosity and love of traditional music – but have since solidified their friendship with more than 50,000 kilometres of touring and countless

performances together. After the release of their debut album, Fill Your Boots! in 2012, the group toured extensively across North America in support of the album, including performances at the Deep Roots Festival, Folk Alliance International, Eaglewood Folk Festival, as well as Fiddles on the Tobique Festival and Ethno Sweden, which took them to Rattvik, Sweden for a week of performing and shar-

ing folk music with musicians from 15 different countries. Throughout their travels, they have shared the stage with notable artists Steve Poltz, Ruth Moody, James Keelaghan, Lennie Gallant, Laura Cortese, Fish and Bird, Kristin Andreassen and Sarah Jane Scouten. In 2014, an artist residency at The Banff Centre served as the incubator for their sophomore album, Grassy Roads, Wandering Feet, which was released in the spring of 2015. Since then, the album has been creating a buzz in the folk scene, with folk-music magazine Penguin Eggs praising the group’s strong original compositions. Now poised to embark on an international tour schedule that includes the U.K., Australia, Belgium, Sweden and a plethora of stops throughout Canada and the U.S., The Bombadils are set to bring the essence of Canadian folk – rooted in history, influenced by worldly neighbours, and with its own unique story to tell – to audiences the world over. “The Bombadils have all the elements of a great band – a high level of musical proficiency, deep respect for the traditional roots of their material and an engaging repertoire which holds the attention of the listener from beginning to end.” – Amy Gajadhar, Canadian Folk Music magazine “This was the band the came out
