If 2016 was a year of drought, 2017 will likely be a year of flooding.

Sommer Casgrain-Robertson, general manager of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA), in a delegation to Perth town council’s committee of the whole on Tuesday, May 9, said that the RVCA only issued about 10 flood messages in 2016.

“That was a relatively quiet flood year for us,” she said. Compare that with 13 drought messages last year.

“We were busy on that front.”

This year, however, because of heavy rains mixed with snow melt, “flooding … is top of mind these last few weeks,” she said.

While people living along the Ottawa River in Ontario and Quebec are seeing a once-in-30-years flood, Mayor John Fenik admitted that the town has 1,500 sandbags, “only enough to protect our assets.” That is why he will be proposing that Lanark County stockpile “5,000 sand bags in a central location,” for future flooding.

“Do you (at the RVCA) have a stockpile of sandbags?” asked Fenik of Casgrain-Robertson.

“No,” she said. In the past, the RVCA did, and people still think that the RVCA has sand bags “because they used to.”

“To my knowledge,” she added, both the RVCA and the Ministry of Natural Resources “no longer stockpile,” sand bags.

Pakenham area man takes to his tractor to raise funds for mom with incurable cancer

BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

Tractors are a familiar sight on Lanark County roadways, but Pakenham man Mike Thompson isn’t using his to plow fields, but rather to raise funds for a Franktown woman and her family.

On June 10, Thompson will embark on his Drive for Jillian initiative across Ontario from his workshop in Pakenham. More than two years ago, he was touched by the story of Jillian O’Connor, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer

while four months pregnant with her third child, Declan, who turned two in February. With a specialized chemotherapy treatment and a mastectomy, Jillian gave birth to a healthy baby boy, but learned soon after the incurable form of cancer had spread to her lymph nodes, liver, bones and most recently, her brain.

A total stranger, he knew he wanted to help. “I saw a CTV Ottawa interview with Jill and it tweaked my interest a little bit as my grandson’s name is Declan as well,” he said during an interview at his Pakenham area workshop recently, as he and Jillian

watched the three children play nearby. “She’s such a strong woman.”

He was recovering from a hip operation over the winter in 2014 and had finally decided to tackle the restoration of his 1959 David Brown tractor his neighbour’s father had bought brand new.

“I don’t know who put the idea in my head, but it just kind of got started in May 2015…” Thompson remarked.

“I started talking to my friends about driving across Canada and they said that was a long way, but I thought if I drove a combine from Texas to Alberta, I think I can handle going to

Pakenham area man Mike Thompson will be driving his restored 1959 David Brown tractor across parts of Ontario, beginning June 10, to raise funds for Jillian O’Connor and her family. O’Connor was diagnosed with cancer when she was four months pregnant with son Declan, now two.

The Ride for Jillian’s initial send-off was on May 10, Jillian’s 34th birthday, where he logged 170 kilometres, kicking off in Franktown and travelling to the Perth area and back to Pakenham.

“People were hollering and waving and one lady, I distinctly remember in a van, rolled down the window and said ‘good luck,’” Thompson said.

“The next night, I got an email from her saying she wanted to donate.”

For his June 10 trip, Thompson is planning on driving through Ottawa, past the Parliament buildings, down through Winchester and Chesterville and across to Kingston and Belleville, making his way to Bancroft and then back home via Pembroke.

In July, he is anticipating a western Ontario loop to Walkerton, London, Guelph and Barrie.

“I will cover a fair amount of Ontario without going north,” he said.

In September 2015, after the tractor was refurbished, Thompson contacted Jillian, a native of Perth, for the first time, connecting through friends who knew her aunt.

“I was taken aback when my aunt mentioned it to me,” Jillian remarked on first hearing of Thompson’s plan.

“I’m so incredibly grateful and so blessed that there are people out there in the world who want to give. It’s amazing what he’s done for basically a perfect stranger. It’s so touching.”

However, in January of this year, Thompson was forced to recalculate his route when he couldn’t find an insurance provider to cover the trip. He was hoping to pull the tractor behind his RV. “I spent a month and a half before I found a company who would, but for six months, the cost was $12,800 and it was just too much,” he said. “So I adjusted things and found out my insurance company would insure me if I didn’t have the RV, just the tractor, trailer and signage, and only drove across Ontario.”

County council endorses Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail as multi-use

BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

County council has determined all residents will have the opportunity to enjoy the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT).

During the May 24 Lanark County economic development committee meeting, councillors endorsed making the county’s 296-kilometre portion of the trail four-season multi-use.

The lone caveat is that those municipalities who don’t wish to have motorized vehicles going through their urban areas, can create a bypass route. This route would require approval from the county and need to be funded by the individual municipality.

The matter was brought to the committee for discussion by county CAO Kurt Greaves.

“I think the time has come to get direction from council on what exactly the usage will be on the OVRT,” he said, noting the completed trail is estimated to cost $2 million.

The definition of multi-use Lanark County is using, includes “all methods of self-propelled transportation, as well as horseback riding, snowmobiles, ATVs and side-by-sides (twoseater ATVs),” Greaves stated in his report.

He presented three options for councillors, including designating the entire trail as four-season, multi-use; the recommended option of making the trail four-season, multi-use, but allowing municipalities to come up with a viable bypass; or designating the entire trail from Dec. 1 to March 31 as multi-use.

“All of the options allow snowmobiles on the entire corridor,” he said, reminding councillors, “snowmobile clubs groom the trails and everyone else can benefit from the groomed trails in the wintertime.”

He went on to note that snowmobiles having access to the bridges eliminates the danger of water crossings; the season is short (six to eight weeks) and neighbouring homes will have their windows closed.

“The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs is also a highly organized, insured and have expressed a willingness to partner on funding,” Greaves commented.

While the first option keeps with the intent of what county council has been discussing since the issue arose in 2010, Greaves said the second option is a compromise after the series of four public open houses (Montague, Beckwith, Carleton Place and Almonte) in the winter brought public concerns. “(Option two) is intended to offer a compromise to those wanting sections non-motorized and those wanting a continuous motorized trail...,” he stated. “If we do go multi-use, hopefully all of these user groups can work together.

“Nothing in option one precludes option two,” he stressed. “That is to say the future use of the trail can al-

ways be looked at. One of the important considerations to keep in mind is future use could include the return of rail traffic or other uses not even anticipated at this time.”

Carleton Place has already designed two separate paths where the OVRT intersects their community, “in order to help facilitate trail sharing,” Greaves said.

The debate between non-motorized and motorized users likely due to “people who are scared of the unknown,” Greaves said.

“There are people who are not familiar with motorized or non-motorized trails and are making assumptions about the activities...,” he said.

“It’s important to remember, we don’t know what the uptake’s going to be.

We don’t know how many ATVs or snowmobiles will be interested.”

He also noted that Arnprior and Renfrew councils recently passed bylaws allowing motorized vehicles access through the town, with the exception of main streets.

Council support Speaking of bypasses, Greaves said municipalities will have to ensure the route connects back up with the OVRT, and easement across private property is granted. It would also be up to the municipality to groom the bypass portion of the trail.

“This alternate route bypass, yes it’s viable, but only if private landowners say you can use it,” said warden Bill Dobson (Montague Reeve). “What happens two years later when they (landowners) say you can’t use it?”

Reminding Dobson that any bypass discussions would come before county council, Greaves said: “I think this council wouldn’t want to approve something unless it’s permanent in nature.”

Coun. Brian Campbell (Tay Valley deputy reeve) wondered if there would be ATV use in the winter.

“It’s my understanding that we would have an agreement with snowmobile clubs, who have expressed an interest already in grooming the entire length of the trail in Lanark County...,” Greaves said. “I’ve heard from the ATV clubs and they are open to that (not using the trail in the winter).

It’s not their intention.”

Pleased to see considerations for the “unique communities” the trail intersects, Coun. John Fenik (Perth Mayor) said he supported staff’s recommended option.

“Local governance knows there are areas that need special attention. If Carleton Place or Almonte feels there is a route that protects those areas, I think they should be able to do that and not have something decreed upon them,” he said. “It allows them to support their municipalities in a way their residents would want.”

Most snowmobilers and ATV enthusiasts aren’t looking for a flat trail, such as the OVRT, and would be using it to access other routes,” Coun. Brian Stewart said.

“I recognize most are not wanting to hang around a rail bed, but they need a way to get there (to other trails).

I’m very much in favour of option two. Every taxpayer is paying for this trail…. If

there are concerns along the way, we can address them.”

Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) was concerned by the lack of details See OVRT page 6

Procter & Gamble to close Brockville plant in late 2020 or early 2021

BY STAFF

Procter & Gamble (P&G) says it empathizes with the 480 affected workers and their families.

Staff at the Brockville site were advised by the company on Wednesday morning (May 24) that the local plant will close permanently in late 2020 or early 2021. Production of Bounce and Swiffer products will relocate to a new facility in West Virginia over the next few years, P&G confirmed in its announcement.

The move is part of the company’s North American supply network redesign. P&G has been studying its network for several years in an effort “...to leverage scale in conjunction with our supply chain partners,” according to a release.

In noting that closure of the Brockville site was a difficult decision for the company, “... the overall redesign efforts will help P&G transform the way it goes to market and revolutionize the way it sources, manufactures and produces across North America.”

The Brockville P&G site on California Avenue dates back to the beginning of the 1980s.

In noting that Brockville has been “part of the P&G family for almost 40 years and its employees are well known at P&G for their strong performance, culture and contributions to the community,” the release goes on to state that “this decision is not a reflection on them, their work or their community.” The company “...will work with each employee on a personal transition plan and treat everyone with respect in accordance with our purpose, values and principles.”

Brockville Mayor David Henderson acknowledged that news of the closure “...is not totally unexpected.” However, he indicated in a release that the decision “...is a huge disappointment for the city.”

Although the city has been aware of P&G’s plans for its West Virginia plant and to consolidate production there in the long term, Brockville had been working with management at the local plant to identify cost reductions in an effort to main-

tain Brockville’s competitiveness.

The city will work with the company and local stakeholders to assist the P&G workers, the statement indicates. Brockville will also actively market the site and seek another employer. “We have three years before the closure, and our economic development department and the new St. Lawrence Corridor partnership will be working hard to identify new investors and opportunities for this site,” Henderson stated.

“The city is resilient; we have lived through closures like this before, and we will survive this one as well.”

Leeds-Grenville MPP and former Brockville mayor Steve Clark released a statement in response to the P&G announcement. “My thoughts today are with the 480 employees and their families who are affected by this devastating announcement,” he stated. “The suddenness of the news and the uncertainty it has cast on their futures places an enormous See P&G page 5

strain on these families and out first commitment must be to ensure they have the supports they need to cope with that burden,” Clark added.

The local MPP said he is committed to working with municipal, provincial and federal government officials “... to explore every possibility of reversing the company’s regrettable decision to close a profitable plant.” Clark went on in his statement to cite “...the

crippling effect years of hydro rate increases under the Wynne government...” as a factor in undermining the competitiveness of the Brockville plant “regardless of the tremendous work done by employees...”

The MPP’s release indicates the average price of electricity for industrial users in West Virginia was 8.8 cents per kilowatt hour in 2016 compared to about 13 cents in Ontario.

In a release issued by the United Counties on Thursday, Leeds and Grenville Warden

Robin Jones stated that workers at P&G Brockville “...will need time to heal as they begin their transition.” Jones, who is the mayor of Westport, referred to the success of homegrown start-ups that include Newterra, Northern Cables and Canadian Rail Equipment Works and Services.

“With change there is opportunity that I believe this region’s amazing talent can initiate,” she commented.

(https://www.gofundme.com/ driveforjill). He is hoping to raise $25,000 or more to help with post-secondary school costs for the O’Connor children.

“If I can get that, it’s a nice little nest egg for these guys,” he noted. “That was my plan (for money raised) from the start, so she would know these children were taken care of. And I hope Jill is there to see them off…I hope and pray that she will be.”

Unbreakable spirit Thinking back to her cancer diagnosis and glancing over at Declan playing with his brother, three-year-old Landon and sister, Myla, 5, Jillian, a former emergency room nurse at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, wouldn’t change any of the decisions she and husband David have made.

“Most people advised us not to keep the baby because I could have received faster treatment,” she said. “…I wouldn’t have been me if I had done that. It

regarding the bypass issue.

“There are bypasses and then there are detours. I think the length of the bypass would be a big thing,” he said. “If the bypass started in Carleton Place and ended in Pakenham, I wouldn’t be in favour of it. It has to be a short bypass.

“And how long are we giving municipalities to come up with the bypass?” he continued. “It could take five years if they wanted to play it out and we’d be sitting with no trail. There are a lot more details that would have to be worked out before we finalize that.”

Having witnessed how organized the snowmobile and ATV clubs are throughout the process, Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith deputy reeve) was confident “we can address any concerns.”

“All taxpayers have paid for this and I think they should all be able to use this. Certainly I think we’re a council that is able to compromise.”

“This is a great opportunity for compromise on county council....” continued Coun.

Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills mayor).

“In Mississippi Mills, we have multiple personalities, and people in Pakenham would be happy to have snowmobiles and ATVs going through their community at any time. It’s part of their culture. But it’s not part of the culture in Almonte….

wasn’t something we could do.”

She had a mastectomy while 18 weeks pregnant and continued with a once a week chemotherapy cocktail designed by Dr. Mark Clemons, a clinical investigator at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. “He was one of the only ones that supported us. I’m lucky because not only is he my oncologist, but also a researcher so this really interests him. He was excited to try new things and break new ground…”

She remembers the looks she got when arriving for chemotherapy. “…Here I am, nine months pregnant and waddling into the cancer centre. People had never seen that before,” she said.

At 38 weeks, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. “He certainly is special because of the circumstances surrounding him,” Jillian commented. “He’s never had any health issues from the minute he was born. He is perfect.”

After Declan was born, Jillian’s prognosis “hasn’t gotten any better.”

“My initial diagnosis was that I had two years…I continue with chemotherapy and they’ve changed my cocktail around,” she noted, adding that she’s had three rounds of what’s called a cyber knife treatment on her brain, to target lesions that have appeared there. “If it works, fantastic. It worked the first two times I did it, but unfortunately, the tumours grow back in other areas.”

With her three little ones, Jillian doesn’t have time to worry about her prognosis and lives each day for her family. She said they don’t fully realize what she’s going through and wants them to “just be kids.”

“I’m so busy with them. I don’t want to miss a moment and they don’t stop for 10 seconds in a day,” she remarked.

“I don’t have time to Google things or get on a computer and research and find out all of the awfulness. I live every day and make sure they’re happy and doing what we love.”

This is introducing a whole new element into a peaceful community that is happy how it is.”

However, Coun. Gail Code (Drummond/North Elmsley deputy reeve) indicated she had read 351 of 600 letters received by council from the public and “a lot from Almonte and Mississippi Mills, where people do want to get out on an ATV in their backyard.”

“I, myself, would like to drive down to Almonte; it’s a beautiful, historic town,” she said.

Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor) referenced a survey done by the municipality that showed 35 of 38 downtown Almonte businesses did not want motorized vehicles passing through.

“The gas, grocery and hardware stores are on the outskirts of town where the trails currently are,” she pointed out.

“We know our downtown businesses do not want them (motorized vehicles).”

Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) said designating the trail multi-use is “an excellent starting point,” but noted he’d like to see the county work with municipal staff to develop a trail management plan.

Greaves said the county has entered into an agreement to work on a joint management plan with its partners in Renfrew County and Papineau-Cameron, who also own lengths of the OVRT.

“It will be a fairly detailed plan…. We want to make sure everything is co-ordinated with the same signage, same type of trail bed, etc.,” he stated.

The county has earmarked $500,000 toward fixing bridges on the OVRT this year. Greaves indicated the county is currently seeking request for proposals for the two bridges in Carleton Place. There are also two each in Almonte and Pakenham.

“The two bridges in Carleton Place are in the best shape and (the RFP) is going to close very soon…. We’ll see how far that $500,000 gets us,” he said.

When questioned by Coun.

Klaas Van Der Meer (Montague deputy reeve) on the anticipated opening for the trail, Greaves said he’d like to see it happen sooner rather than later.

“My idea would be, either later this year, which is probably too aggressive; or next year, we stone dust the entire thing in one year and get it open and pay it back over time,” he remarked.

“We’d probably look at having it open when all the bridges are done, but it wouldn’t be very user-friendly without the stone dust down.”

Earlier in the meeting, councillors heard from three delegations regarding the OVRT: Cindy Cassidy with the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance, Tom Milc, president of the Ottawa Valley ATV Club, and Al Lunney, representing residents in Almonte’s Thoburn Mill.

We ate. We talked. We danced. We rode Jed, the mechanical bull. More importantly, we left with hope for the future of our youth.

A great big thank you goes out to everyone who supported a brighter future for at-risk youth and families.

THANK YOU TO THE SPONSORS OF THE WILD WEST JAMBOREE 2017!

WHAT IS THE DAVE SMITH YOUTH TREATMENT CENTRE?

Charitable Registration #: 83900 3803 RR0001

Every year, thousands of Ontario youth fall victim to serious substance abuse. Left untreated, these issues can tear families apart and lead to a lifetime of addiction. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre offers life-saving intervention for our youth, aged 13 - 21. Kids who graduate from our program can venture to dream about a better life.

Our new treatment centre will let us transform our already successful program from good to extraordinary. Supporters of Dave’s Dream fundraising campaign will help us take this step towards greater impact in our community by helping restore quality of life to families and reducing the fallout of addiction.

COMMENTARY

Who has the last word?

I

t’s likely that many Ontarians breathed a sigh of relief when the provincial government announced its plan to scrap the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).

The OMB has often been perceived as too friendly to property developers. To many people, the board was quick to grab its rubber stamp and approve developments that didn’t fit with existing neighbourhoods.

In theory, up until now, Lanark County municipalities and their other counterparts in Ontario decide what gets built within their borders. But decisions by city and town councils could be appealed to the OMB. Change is never easy to deal with – especially close to home – but appeals to the board have often seemed like bad movie sequels: predictable, but with unhappy endings.

The running theme has been developers who ask for unappealing elements – think of massive towers and postage-stamp parks – and then settle for slightly less height and slightly larger greenspaces.

Cynics have to ask if the developer asked for the moon in order to get approval for their

preferred design because it was slightly less awful than the original request.

And in the background, the threat of an expensive OMB appeal kept city and town councils – and community groups – wary of holding back large-scale developments.

A new, less-powerful Local Planning Appeal Tribunal will take the place of the OMB. It’s not clear how the tribunal will work, or what kind of teeth it may have.

Will municipalities really be able to control their own growth? And what happens if a city or town council votes to stop all growth, or a council is filled with councillors who want highrises on every street?

The face of Ontario cities and towns could be stunted (along with construction jobs) or rebuilt ad nauseam depending on the tribunal’s decisions.

It’s clear there should be an appeal process if a property owner thinks a council has been unreasonable, but every case is different.

Some development is OK, some doesn’t fit in.

Who has the last word? We don’t know just yet.

Pink foolscap pads told students they had better toe the mark It wouldn’t be long. The school year would soon be over, and I was always amazed at how the entire school changed those last few weeks before the exams started, when we would know if we would be passed into the next grade.

It was almost as if we were in church. Everyone was on his very best behaviour, as if our actions had as much to do with passing, as doing well on our exams. Cecil gave up crunching his toes in his gum-rubbers, and moving his ears up and down on the side of his head.

But Cecil was as smart as a whip, and there was no doubt he would pass into the next grade with flying colours. But he wasn’t taking any chances.

Even bad Marguirite wasn’t floating around the classroom like a crazed bird. Yes, the whole school had settled down and every effort was made to have Miss Crosby look on us kindly, in the hope it would convince her we deserved to be passed, regardless how poorly we did on our exams.

Long before the exams started, a scary reminder that they were looming before us, sat right there on the corner of Miss Crosby’s desk. A stack of foolscap pads with bright pink covers, one for everyone of us at the Northcote School was piled neatly waiting for the day.

They were much longer and thinner, than the notebooks we usually used for our school

The only thing I liked about the pads was the colour. And the sheets inside were lined on one side, and blank on the other, and they were smooth...not like some of the scribblers we used every day for our lessons.

The only good thing about the pink foolscap pads was that we didn’t have to buy them.

Certainly Miss Crosby couldn’t afford them either on her pal-

Reader takes issue with county procedural bylaw DEAR EDITOR:

In the May 18, 2017 story, Lanark County Warden Bill Dobson reminds county councillors of procedural bylaw, I take issue with two statements by Warden Dobson. First, Warden Dobson states that, in Lanark County council’s dealing with “a fair number of controversial issues,” that he has “full admiration for this council and our staff in how we listen to

people.”

One controversial issue he alludes to is Lanark County’s plan to spray most county roadsides with the pesticide “ClearView” to control wild parsnip. Many readers know that opposition to roadside spraying has swelled in this county because of increased awareness of the risk it engenders for pollinators, biodiversity, human

ship. So, to have us practice, and using a rack with taut wires across two pieces of thin wood, the teacher would draw straight lines across the blackboard, and one by one, each of us was ordered to the front of the class for penmanship.

For me, that meant printing, and trying desperately to stay within the lines Miss Crosby had drawn. Sometimes she would write one word at the start of the line, and whoever she ordered to the blackboard, had to write the same word over and over again.

health, organic businesses, and the safety of our water.

Numerous scientists, agricultural experts, horticultural societies, lake associations, and medical doctors in this county have written and spoken of these risks at length, as have countless concerned residents.

Several conventional farmers are concerned by the fact that ClearView is in the same class of pesticide that they are using for weed control on their crops, increasing the likelihood of pesticide resistance in roadside weeds.

Lanark County council’s “listening to people” has been demonstrated by holding public meetings on roadside spraying after the fact, by accepting, what I feel was an error-filled, vague Integrated Vegetative Management Plan, in establishing a Byzantine Adopt-A-Road policy, by attempting to squelch the option for people to request an exemption from spraying, and by notifying the public

For those of us in the lower grades, we had to print the alphabet, and I lived in constant fear that I would mix up the letters, and be forced to spend another year in Primer Book. All of this, getting us ready for the writing of our final exams.

Miss Crosby drilled us on arithmetic and history, and of course, we had to know the name of every township in Renfrew County! So all of this was reviewed long before exams and heaven forbid that we mixed up and put our township in Lanark County by mistake!

So there sat the pink fools-

cap pads. They were more than a gentle reminder what was in store for us in a few weeks.

As well as trying to remember everything we had been taught for the past year, those pads told us we better toe the mark, or we would pay dearly when the report cards were handed out the day school ended.

of roadside spraying with expertly camouflaged, token announcements in the local paper with very short notice.

It doesn’t stop there. Tay Valley Township tried to request that the county roads in their township be exempted from spraying, but their motion was rejected by Lanark County council.

Mississippi Mills had the option last year of requesting an exemption from spraying on municipal property located on county roads – but not this year.

It seems that Lanark County council are intent on bending the member municipalities to their will, regardless of the concerns expressed by these municipalities. Is this what Warden Dobson means by “listening to people”?

Any concessions by Lanark County council have been hard won.

Only through the persistence of experts and residents, including Friends of Lanark County (FoLC) and some responsive county councillors,

is the option now available for people to have their roadsides exempted from spraying (an option available last year, but which few people knew about because of poor notification) – and is the county now complying with the requirement to post signs notifying people that roadsides have been sprayed.

FoLC members have also helped Lanark County by educating residents on how to identify and sustainably control wild parsnip, and apply for an exemption-from-spraying.

Second, and last, when Warden Dobson also states that “we should respect the will of this council and it is called majority and it is called democracy,” it seems that what he really wants is for people and municipalities to blindly submit to Lanark County’s dictates, however I feel they are misguided and detrimental to human and environmental health.

Celebrate life at Relay For Life in Smiths Falls June 10 Kathy Echlin first participated in Relay For Life to support a fellow Guider’s relay team with one of her best friends, Jane.

They both enjoyed their experience and decided to start their own relay team and asked another cancer survivor/friend to join, among others.

Sometime later Jane found out her husband had brain cancer and unfortunately passed away soon after. Shortly after he died, Jane learned she had cancer.

“Thankfully she is a proud survivor!” Kathy shares. “Our team name became A Time For Hope because when Jane found out about her cancer, we kept telling her it was a time to have hope.”

“I have many personal connections. The first time I heard the word cancer was when I was around 12 or 13 when my mom and dad had to fly to Newfoundland for my grandmother’s funeral,” she recalls. “It was a strange word back then, not often spoken about. Today, I’ve had many of my relatives and good friends as well as relay team mates that have had cancer or passed away from cancer. My very best childhood friend is right now recovering from surgery in Toronto for a very rare form of cancer. Also, just recently we said goodbye to an amazing 24-yearold neighbour who died

after bravely fighting lymphoma for two years.”

2017 marks a big milestone for both Jane and Kathy. It will be their 15th year participating in Relay For Life this June 10, with their other two best friends following closely behind.

“Our team over the years has included our friends, family, kids and their friends. The Canadian Cancer Society is the only charity that I am part of on an ongoing basis,” Kathy states. “If my doing the Relay helps raise awareness and funds to help even one person, then it makes it all worthwhile for me.”

The Relay For Life in Smiths Falls, hosted by the Canadian Cancer Society, is taking place June 10 from 5 to 11 p.m. at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. Participants can join the event as individuals, or as part of a team of friends, relatives or coworkers.

“You don’t have to be a large team to join Relay,” Kathy says, “There are teams of two, five, 10 or more.”

Whether you are cheering on survivors, walking the track, passing the baton to your teammate or joining in exciting trackside activities, Relay For Life is more than just a cancer walk — it’s a night to celebrate life, remember people you love and fight against cancer.

Prince Edward County truly a wine lovers paradise “Ontario is a remarkable wine region. I encourage you to visit, as it is one of the most exciting new world wine regions right now.” — Matt Kramer, Wine Spectator.

I write numerous travel-related columns during a typical year and reader response has been so gratifying and encouraging that I will continue to do so moving forward.

My wife and I have been fortunate to spend a lot of time travelling in the United Kingdom, Ireland and continental Europe over the course of 25 years. We also make annual sojourns to our favourite locations in the northeastern United States, with an emphasis on Vermont, New Hampshire and areas of nearby New York state. Because we have established friendships in Tennessee we have also journeyed through a number of other American states and thoroughly enjoyed those experiences.

Occasionally I receive an email or have a personal interaction with someone who urges me to focus more on Canada. In recent years we have visited both coasts, in the company of our good friends and regular travel companions Frank and Wendy LeBlanc.

Our daughter and her family lived in Regina for two years which gave us an opportunity to spend a little time on the Prairies, another wonderful region of Canada. We also enjoy the Niagara area where, besides the falls, there is so

much to enjoy including some of the best wine tasting opportunities in the world.

However, as I have written in this space previously, you don’t have to criss-cross Canada, visit the neighbouring United States or journey overseas to have good travel experiences. There are so many interesting places right here in eastern Ontario.

I find that people tend to ignore the opportunities that are right under their noses. I can’t begin to count the number of people who have told me they have never visited Parliament Hill, toured the incredibly interesting Centre Block (including the House of Commons and Senate) or taken in the many historic sites, museums and gorgeous views (scenery) available in the nearby National Capital Region. The opportunities are numerous. Ottawa is one of the greenest capitals in the world, making it an ideal spring and summer destination!

There is also the St. Lawrence/Thousand Islands Region including centres such as Prescott, Brockville, Gananoque and the historic and vibrant city of Kingston on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Now you can even arrange a tour of the former Kingston Pen (penitentiary) if you’re so inclined!

I have mentioned wine tasting. For anyone who enjoys grape nectar, aged to perfection, the Niagara Region is

still the foremost area in Ontario. But that is very quickly changing as more and more regions of our province are connecting to the Ontario wine country trail.

Lake Erie wineries There are 11 wineries featured in the 2017 Ontario Wine Country Travel Guide in what is called the Lake Erie North Shore wine region.

There have been small wineries operating near my wife’s hometown of Chatham for decades. Today they are concentrated in an area bounded by Leamington to the east and Amherstburg (south of Windsor) to the west.

Included is a winery on Pelee Island, the southernmost point in Canada.

Easily accessible by ferry during the warm weather months, Pelee Island is level with northern California on the North American map. So, not difficult to understand why the climate there is good for grape growing.

There are also wineries making

names for themselves in so-called “emerging regions” including along the eastern shore of Lake Huron, southern Georgian Bay, just north of Toronto (Canada’s largest city) as well as the Lake Simcoe district. There are two wineries in Norfolk County near Port Dover and Turkey Point, also on the north shore of Lake Erie.

The Niagara Region remains the runaway wine producing leader in Ontario. There are 47 wineries and vineyards listed in this year’s guidebook across the Niagara Escarpment and Twenty Valley Region and a further 37 in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area. The latter is one of our favourite places in Canada. Niagara-on-the-Lake is, quite simply, wonderful. And not because of the wine produced there either. That’s a bonus, if you enjoy wine.

This week I have left the best for last.

Well, the best for residents of eastern Ontario that is.

Nestled along the north shore of Lake Ontario, with its beautiful sand beaches, is Prince Edward County.

Situated south of the Highway 401 corridor, the area includes such quaint communities as Picton, Bloomfield and Wellington. It is 262 kilometres (a two and a half-hour drive) from Ottawa and slightly less from Toronto which is just 217 kilometres to the west. Major centres in the region are Belleville, Trenton and Deseronto while Napanee and

You don’t have to be a wine lover to visit Prince Edward County. It’s just an advantage for those of us who are!

We had been urged to give the wineries near Picton a try by my sister and her husband who travelled there with friends a few years ago.

But it was our friends the LeBlanc’s who finally convinced us. So in the early spring, two years ago, we finally made it to Picton and Lake Ontario wine country. It wasn’t growing season but there were plenty of the previous year’s crops along with past vintages to sample.

We stayed at a very nice bed and breakfast in Picton, complete with a first class restaurant. Many of Ontario’s wineries feature accommodations and award-winning restaurants. Prince Edward County is no exception. The number of excellent wineries and outstanding restaurants there continues to grow, with 17 wineries and vineyards on the 2017 map.

Wine is just one area of interest.

There is so much history to soak up and so many other tourist opportunities in all of the regions I’ve mentioned. This summer why not vacation in southern Ontario? It’s relatively close to home and there’s so much to see and do. You won’t regret it!

CHEO partners with hospitals across valley to serve critically-ill patients

Tuesday, July 18th, 2017 The Canadian Golf and Country Club

Shotgun start at 12:00pm

BY TIFFANY LEPACK

tlepack@metroland.com

John Lepack loves superheroes.

It doesn’t matter if it is Spider-Man or Batman, his imagination runs wild with their adventures.

The thing my son doesn’t know, is he is already a superhero in my eyes.

Shortly after John was born June 11, 2013, staff at Almonte General Hospital noticed something not right.

They were able to quickly recognize he needed to be rushed to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive officer of the CHEO Foundation, calls this a very typical story of CHEO working with rural hospitals outside of Ottawa, which he calls very important partners in care.

“We have some tremendous community hospitals throughout the area that CHEO also serves. For the vast majority of families the first place that you go when your child needs care is to your community hospital. And we strongly encourage supporting the hospitals in your own areas,” said Keohane.

“But at the same time, CHEO plays an important role with those community hospitals.

When I think about CHEO it is a regional hospital.”

As a new mom from Arnprior, who just experienced a 24-hour labour in Almonte, it was a difficult moment to be told John needed the care from CHEO. But we were not alone.

CHEO truly is a regional hospital, and in 2016 there were 347 patients from Almonte with 1,166 visits; 472 patients from Arnprior with 1,513 visits; and 471 patients from Renfrew with 1,637 visits.

CHEO not only serves patients from eastern Ontario; but their catchment stretches all the way to northern Ontario and Nunavut.

Last year 52 per cent of patient visits to CHEO came from Ottawa and 33 per cent from other towns and cities in eastern Ontario and northern Ontario totalling 107,000 patient visits.

“That means there is an awful lot of children and families living outside the Ottawa area who are needing the services of CHEO, and it is a privilege for CHEO to be able to provide

John Lepack spent the first week of his life at CHEO. these services,” said Keohane.

John was transferred from Almonte to CHEO via a neonatal transport unit.

When the CHEO team arrived to take John they explained everything about the unit and how they were going to transfer him.

Although at the time I was scared that my newborn was leaving my side, I was reassured that he was safe.

Over 500 times last year the neonatal transport unit went to communities outside of Ottawa to bring babies to CHEO. “Those are instances when these are the most fragile and critically-ill infants. And when you think, on 500 occasions last year they brought critically-ill infants to CHEO to make sure they go home with their parents, nothing speaks more to how important CHEO is to the communities outside of Ottawa than that stat,” said Keohane.

“That is how it should work, as we are working together with community hospitals to make sure the most critically-ill children come here and get the care they need, then go back into their own communities. That’s a role that CHEO is honoured to play.”

When John arrived at CHEO he was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. He was showing signs of meningitis and had to have a spinal tap to test the fluid.

To say my husband and I were scared is an understatement.

However, from the moment we walked into CHEO until the moment we left, I knew he was in the best possible hands.

The team who worked on him always explained how they were examining him and what the next steps were.

Thankfully, after a week at CHEO, he was discharged, having battled back from an infection.

The equipment used to

transfer, test and care for John while he was at CHEO was made possible due to community support.

The provincial government provides money to CHEO for the staff to operate the equipment, but not the machines.

One of the biggest boosts to CHEO is its annual telethon, which is set this year for June 10 and 11 on CTV Ottawa.

In 2016, the telethon celebrated more than $8 million raised throughout the year.

The new money comes from those who watch the telethon and are inspired to donate.

“We are looking for support from across the community we serve,” said Keohane.

“It’s really important to us that we demonstrate to people what we are doing at CHEO. And we ask them to show their support for what we do, by calling in to make a donation so we are able to meet all of the needs for next year.”

Keohane says that every bit counts.

“Every donation big and small goes toward helping CHEO deliver on its mission.

And that really is to make sure kids and families get the best care they can receive."

As for John and the rest of the children who receive care at CHEO, Keohane agrees they are superheroes.

There are more superheroes to add to the list as well.

“The kids are definitely heroes, but the donors are heroes too,” said Keohane.

“We could run a telethon and we can tell everyone the work CHEO is doing, and it all doesn’t matter unless people respond. So when you respond you are being a hero for kids, a hero for CHEO, and you are helping us to provide the care at a different level than we wouldn’t be able to without your help.”

(Attention Cheryl) DEADLINE IS THURSDAY BY NOON

Aftermarket rims bring a lot of choice and things to be aware of “Hello Brian, Are you OK with aftermarket rims for winter tire use as opposed to OEM rims? I am aware of the different centre bore sizes. I would prefer to buy used OEM rims and winter tires (for my 2014 Camry) but no luck so far. I realize it is the wrong time of year! I always look forward to reading your column, great advice and easy to understand.

Have a great long weekend.

Thanks ... Terry" Aftermarket rims can bring a lot of choice at reasonable prices, but there are a few things to be aware of.

You can get direct-fit black steel rims that don't require any centring rings to adapt to your vehicle’s bore size for as little as $65 (for the 16-inch size) or $85 (for the 17" size). These prices are from a large eastern Ontario/western Quebec tire wholesaler. You can find wheel covers to fit these for around $70 for a set of four. In some cases, cer-

tain steel rims take different wheel nuts from the original Toyota ones that came with the vehicle for their alloy wheels. If you wish to keep the tire pressure monitoring system active throughout the winter months, you’ll need to purchase sensor/valve stem units for the winter wheels.

A little shopping is needed to find these at the right price. Aftermarket sensor kits range from $100-$200 each (ouch!) but the original units from Toyota are only $63. More times than you’d think, authorized dealers can beat the aftermarket pricing.

Many drivers don’t want to give up the looks of alloy rims when switching to winter rubbers. But these alloys are a different thing altogether. Not all aftermarket wheel-makers make their rims with direct-fit centre holes, necessitating the use of centring rings.

You can get the correct bolthole and hole-circle size and off-

set specs, but not usually the right centre-hole size. These lightweight composite rings are easy to use but you must ask the rim supplier for the correct size. They’re fairly inexpensive at around $10 for a set.

Also, few aftermarket alloy rims will work with the original wheel nuts but require their own special ones. These wheel nut kits aren’t usually a deal-breaker as their average cost is less than $50 for a complete set. Alloy rims themselves are more expensive than plain steel units and remember you get what you pay for. Yes, you can buy aftermarket 16” or 17” alloys for less

than $200 each, but the likelihood of these standing up to Canadian winter roads for more than a season or two is low.

One new Ontario regulation to keep in mind when sourcing aftermarket alloy rims relates to the use of wheel spacer plates. Unlike simple centring rings, which are completely legal, adapter plates are not.

These are circular metal plates with a set of holes through which the original wheel studs fit and they have their own set of studs designed to accommodate the alloy rim. Due to safety concerns, the Ontario Ministry of Transport banned their use last year.

On Saturday, June 3, the fifth annual Blair Rendell Memorial Car Show rolls onto the Sparks Street Mall in Ottawa from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There will be free vehicle registration, dash plaques, door prizes, and a 50/50 draw. It’s hosted by the

Summer Knight Cruisers.

And if you’re up for a road trip, check out the Fleetwood Country Cruize-In in London, Ont. on both Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4. The gates open at 7 a.m. and the show runs to 5 p.m. both days. This is Canada’s largest outdoor car show. It will be held at the Fleetwood Estate, at 9292 Elviage Dr. in London.

If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive, please drop me a line by email to bjoeturner@hotmail.com, listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line, or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, Ont. K7A 4T1. When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume, I can’t always promise replies.)

Foster homes needed for shelter dogs at Lanark Animal Welfare Society A great big thank you goes out to Kendra Gibbons who had a table at last weekend's community yard sale in Toledo to raise funds for LAWS. Her mom tells us: "It was a big success with lots of enthusiasm from our little community and lots of people making donations even if they didn't make a purchase. Kendra was pleased to raise $161.50 (twice what she raised last year)."

Way to go, Kendra! It's clear you put a lot of effort into this venture and we really appreciate it.

Thank you also to Tracy O'Flaherty and Pet Valu Perth for the Hearts and Paws Fundraiser for LAWS on May 27. Store staff report that the event went very well with almost all of the available psychic reading spots being filled, and everyone left with happy tears!

the recent donations of canned food, the nearly 50 little cuties we are caring for really like it.

Foster homes needed for dogs If you have time to provide a temporary home for a shelter dog and can devote some time to help to reassure a dog who has been abandoned or whose owner can no longer care for them, we would like to hear from you. Having a fenced yard would be an asset but is not a hard requirement. If you think you can help please call the shelter at 613-2839308 to talk with Wendy, the shelter manager.

This Week’s Pets

Supporters of declawing say there is nothing wrong with the procedure as long as it is performed properly under anesthesia. The CVMA disagrees, noting that declawing involves amputating part of a cat's toe bones and it is evident that felines suffer needlessly when undergoing this elective surgery.

The association is sending the new guideline on what it calls "non-therapeutic partial digital amputation" to its 7,000 members across Canada.

princess she is. Tessa is about 20 months with striking markings in orange and brown.

She loves people and enjoys being cuddled and stroked but can be a little bossy with the other cats in her run.

Fay Fay is about three years old, quiet and laid back. She tends to keep to herself in the runs but enjoys being stroked while she is snoozing in the sunshine.

She was rescued from the streets and is comfortable at the shelter but would really like a home of her own.

Highly Anticipated Fundraiser for Therapeutic Riding back for 12th year!

2017 marks the 12th year for the “Taste of the County” Food, Beer and Wine Tasting Gala – all proceeds going to our locally run Therapeutic Riding Program which supports 143 differently-abled riders across the county.

“Taste of the County” Monday June 5th starting at 6pm, is a fun filled evening that boasts participation from the area’s top food and beverage providers. All of these incredible business owners give selflessly of their time to support the community and showcase their culinary skills.

Gucci At about six years old, Gucci is this week's 'old lady' but there's lots of years left in her. She has supersoft short grey and white fur and is quite — um — curvaceous for a stray! She is active, inquisitive, affectionate and vocal, demanding cuddles from visitors to the runs.

Wish list You guessed it — Friskies Pate canned cat food.

Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or check out our website at lanarkanimals.com.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@ lanarkanimals.com or by calling 613283-9308. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Road, Smiths Falls.

The 2017 “Taste of the County” will once again be hosted at the lovely Stonefields event destination in their lovely restored barn ‘the Stonefields Loft’ including the 1500 square foot patio. This historic property boasts an old stone farmhouse, country gardens, log cabins and rustic barns, plus acres and acres of rolling farmland. It is an absolutely perfect venue for our food and wine gala and many guests last year commented on how much they enjoyed the location.

Last year’s fundraiser was a great success with a sold out crowd of 200 people.

In addition to the $20 entry, gala goers will purchase $1 coupons and each vendor will price their tasters between $1 and $6 so that you have the Long time supporter and opportunity to sample many participant of the riding Good Food Company, 31 Bridge different appetizers, main program Petra Graber, owner The Street, C.P. has been participating in of the Good Food Company the Taste of the County fundraiser courses, desserts, beer & wine. in Carleton Place says ‘It’s a in support of the Therapeutic Riding The food is complemented by wine and beer, served to you really fun night and supports Program for the past 12 years! by experts who can help you a terrific cause and also gives tons of new customers the opportunity to choose and explain the different selections. taste and sample our cooking’ Between mouthfuls, you can also bid in the Our Silent Auction is typically one of the largest draws to this event and last year boasted 175 unique and fun items !

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, remaining quiet about how you truly feel about someone will not be helpful this week. It’s better if you unleash your emotions and let your loved one know the truth.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are on a roll this week, and everything you encounter puts an extra spring in your step. Just don’t get so engrossed in your progress that you forget others.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be tempted to throw in the towel when things are not going your way. Give the situation a little more time before you make a foolhardy decision.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Your dedication could be the key to putting things back on track at work, Taurus. After a little turbulence, everything will work out once more with you on task.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your creativity is overflowing this week. This proves a boon to anyone who has asked for your assistance with party planning, decorating or other creative pursuits.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Others realize you are willing to put in long hours when you see the possibilities for a positive return, Capricorn. Share this enthusiasm with others and they might reciprocate.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this week you feel more comfortable working with others in a group than you do on solo projects.

This reinforces to others that you are a team player and a valuable asset.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Continue to be that steady rock that others can rely on, Aquarius. The waters could get a little choppy this week, and others will need a strong anchor to get them by.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Others won’t stand in your way this week, Scorpio. You are a productivity powerhouse, and you are ready to overcome any and all obstacles.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, sharing your opinions may not scare off others, even when they don’t agree with your views.

BUILD YOUR

DREAM TEAM

Blues, in its many forms has always been my "go-to" music to help me deal with life.

Having grown up in Toronto in the '50s to '70s, before my "escape," I grew up on groups who offered sweet, full, what later would be called, the “Toronto Sound,” with its R&B stylings, created by bass, drums, usually Fender Telecasters, Hammond B3 organ, often with horns and soulful singing.

I'd go to the Colonial Tavern or Le Coq d'Or on Yonge, Albert's Hall on Bloor, Grossman's Tavern, the El Mocambo, the Sapphire Tavern downtown but there was also plenty offered at school, church or arena dances out in the suburbs where we'd dance to Little Caesar & Consoles, George Olliver with Mandala (or Soul Children), Shawne and Jay Jackson and The Majestics, Dominic Troiano with Mandala or Bush, Ronnie Hawkins, Grant Smith and The Power, Jackie Shane, Crowbar, McKenna Mendelson Mainline, The Lincolns, to name a few.

I was so lucky to have lived there and then, that mecca of music magic.

Others did too of course, and one veteran I'm excited to say, will be hitting the stage at our next Listening Room Series. The amazing Juno Award winning bluesman, the legendary Morgan Davis will appear Sunday, June 18 at 7 p.m. at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant).

Though he was born in Detroit, he absorbed the raging Motown and R&B sound before his family moved him to California. Entering his “learning years” he came to Canada where he lived and studied at the now infamous, Toronto's Rochdale College, claiming he got a “higher education.” He studied Delta Blues, especially Robert Johnson, but also had the opportunity to see and play with

players like Sunnyland Slim, Bukka White, Hubert Sumlin, Snooky Pryor, John Hammond, all helping in developing his country blues style. All this led him to become a journeyman musician, playing with the Rhythm Rockets as well as David Wilcox's first band before leading his own first band, Knights of the Mystic Sea, being constantly on the road. One of his proudest moments was backing Dr. John.

Over the 45 years he's been on the road, he's evolved to primarily being a solo player, constantly writing his own material, backing himself on six-string electric. He plays throughout the U.S., Europe and Canada, now calling Nova Scotia home for the past number of years. You'll love his music, his observations, his road stories as I've done, the many times I've seen him.

Tickets are $20 and available at The Perth Tea Room or by calling 613-2677902. Dinner reservations can be made by calling 613-267-3170. Part of the proceeds will be going to the Stewart Park Festival to help keep it free for music lovers.

Upcoming events • Sunday, June 4: Mairi Rankin and Ailie Robertson come to MERA at 2 p.m. Mairi, of the Cape Breton Rankin clan will astound with her Celtic fiddle, singing and step-dancing while Ailie, from Edinburgh, Scotland, plays clarsach (Celtic harp).

Connections hosts wine and cheese fundraiser June 15 On June 15, Connections program for families will be hosting their first wine and cheese evening fundraiser!

Come celebrate families at Carleton Place Town Hall from 7 to 10:30 p.m.

Lanark County’s own country singer Arlene Quinn will be performing.

Advanced tickets are $25 and $30 at the door. They are on sale at Lanark Community Programs at 30 Bennett St., Carleton Place, the Granary Health Food Store at 107 Bridge St., Carleton Place, and can also be purchased online at https://www.lrhcs.ca/Management/ Forms/Form.asp?FormID=2.

Connections, housed under Lanark Community Programs, a part of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services, began in 1993 as community-based home visiting program.

Building on this, a volunteer birth companion and playgroup program soon followed. Agency success and participant feedback brought attention to the need for additional support; a prenatal drop-in program was added

in 1996. Today, Connections is proud to offer a continuum of prenatal and postnatal support services to families in our community.

Our goal at Connections is to provide support to families during their pregnancies and in the healthy growth and development of their young children. This is a co-operative effort involving the family, agency services and the community.

Connections has four main core programs; the Birth Companion program, Good Food for a Healthy Baby program, the Home Visiting program and the Parent and Children’s Play Groups program. These programs help to reduce isolation and increase parenting competency. Prenatal support reduces the risk of low birth weights and increases breastfeeding rates. Individual support gives families a sense of security knowing they have someone in the community they can count on and trust resulting in a more positive, less stressful household environment. Prac-

tical help, such as food, prenatal vitamins, transportation and advocacy is a major component of the Connections program. This kind of help reduces stress for the parents, leading to better attachment and parent/child interaction.

At times when funding allows, we offer parent education workshops such as Bounce Back and Thrive, SOS or Nobody’s Perfect.

Our slogan at Connections is — Real Help ... Right Here ... Right Now. Our staff feel privileged to work for such an innovative agency, in our own communities, serving the families we work with.

If you know of a young family who are pregnant or have young children please do not hesitate to refer them to Connections. We are here to help.

St. John Relay for Life raises more than $50,000

Cancer changes everything, but so can you.

That was this year’s theme at St. John Catholic High School as staff and students hosted their Relay for Life during a 12-hour marathon well into the night on Friday, May 26, raising in excess of $50,000.

“You are 300 strong this year, doing the same thing… that’s pretty incredible,” said teacher Dave Peters, who along with teacher Mary Retty championed an organizing committee of seven students for this year’s 16th annual event.

“We had 400 elementary school students from our board here during the day, and with our 300 students, that’s 700 participants this year,” said Retty. “It was a different dynamic this year and with declining enrollment, I thought we did great to raise more than $50,000 this year. That brings our total to more than $730,000 in 16 years.”

There were also 11 survivors taking part in the event, with a survivor lap at 6 p.m. Several hundred luminaries were lit that evening as well as they lined the track giving off an incandescent glow.

Participants enjoyed some music, air bounce castles, and a dunk-tank where teachers were good sports and hit the water after a well-aimed ball smacked the target to release the dunk mechanism.

Orienteering happening in Perth Orienteering is the sport of skilled navigation. The goal is to find a series of checkpoints, called controls, shown on a map. Participants can choose routes both on and off trail to find the checkpoints, and then return to the finish.

The 2017 Canadian Orienteering Championships are taking place in Perth from Aug. 3 to Aug. 7, and are part of the Canada 150 Orienteering Festival. Orienteering Ottawa, the event hosts, are partnering with Orienteer Perth to offer courses to introduce people to orienteering.

This is your opportunity to explore this fun sport right here in Perth!

• Dates: Saturday, June 3 and June 10; • Time: 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.; • Location: Conlon Farm, Perth; • Ages: Kids course eight years to 14; adult course 15 to 100 years of age; • Register at: orienteerperth.weebly.com.

The Orienteering Kids Course is a great way

to get eight- to 14-year-old children outdoors, active and exploring—and having so much fun that they forget about their screens! Kids will improve their running speed, agility, endurance, strength, problem-solving, and navigational skills. The program will take place in conjunction with the Basics & Beyond program for adults (perfect for parents).

Basics & Beyond Adult Course is for ages 15 to 100. Enjoy learning a new skill, become more comfortable outdoors, or simply get active in a fun way. The program sessions will teach you the basics of orienteering and then move beyond that to guide you through the first skills required to comfortably complete novice and intermediate level orienteering courses.

See OttawaOC.ca for more information about course levels.

Off-road vehicles - combining safety, recreation Officers from the Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are reminding Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) and AllTerrain Vehicle (ATV) drivers and owners to exercise particular caution and ride within the laws that are designed to keep the community safe.

ORVs are gaining popularity and the number of machines and riders in Ontario is increasing, as is the size, weight and horsepower of some machines while recreation as a primary use has increased.

This year's weather patterns have elevated the potential risk factors for off road operation.

Despite two or three days of warm weather, the ground in some place may still be deceptively water logged. In some places trails may have lost structural integrity.

The Off-Road Vehicles Act of Ontario states that drivers and passengers must wear an approved motor cycle helmet, unless the vehicle is driven on property owned by the person driving the ORV.

SANDBAGGING

From FRONT page

Fenik said that the new rocky ramp dam upstream on the Little Tay may not have stopped the flooding in Stewart Park, but, they did help control the flooding levels.

Apart from flooding, the RVCA has been busy in Perth with other issues. They issued 10 permits for development work within Perth, and admitted seven planning applications. The RVCA has planted more than 5.6 million trees since the 1980s, and about 380,000 trees upstream from Perth, since more tree coverage provides for “better water quality down stream,” she said.

The RVCA has also been working with the Perth Mayor’s Task Force on climate change, with Casgrain-Robertson calling it “a very exciting project.” The RVCA has also worked with the town on the Haggart Island dams, saying

she was “very excited to work with you on getting the second dam commissioned.”

She has been singing the praises of rocky ramp dams, like the first Haggart Island dam which has already been constructed.

“We are very cognizant of those financial pressures on our municipalities,” said CasgrainRobertson. But with rocky ramps, “you put a few rocks in the right place and it works wonders.”

When the issue of waterside cleanups was brought up, Casgrain-Robertson said “when I hear cleanup, a little flag goes up,” in her mind.

The RVCA is intent on maintaining a natural water’s edge, and a cleanup “means different things to different people,” she said, with some thinking that clear-cutting reeds and grasses along the water’s edge is a cleanup. She stressed that the RVCA can come out and do a pre-cleanup consultation, to “explain the dos and don’ts.”

RELAY

From page P1

Tyra Liko was also in attendance during the event. Tyra, a Grade 7 student at St. John, has brain cancer. She did a lap around the track on wheels – taking part with a little help from a wheelchair.

In April, her mom, Amy Montgomery spoke at the school during the kick-off of Relay for Life.

“Did we know she had cancer? Absolutely not,” said Montgomery during that day in April at the high school where she spoke to the entire student body.

Her daughter used to be involved in volleyball and gymnastics.

In late October 2016, she was complaining of headaches and dizziness, and was starting to vomit. “She would try to come to school but could not concentrate,” said Montgomery. She would sometimes have to find a dark room to sit in – and vomit again.

“She was suffering,” said Montgomery. “As a mum, that really upset me.”

On Nov. 27, a date where “I remember everything so clearly,” her daughter got up and threw up again.

It was time to visit the Children’s

Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) in Ottawa. After an X-ray, the first radiologist could not find anything – but another glance by a second radiologist caught something. That radiologist “saw something was wrong,” specifically, a black spot at the back of Tyra’s brain.

It turned out to be cancerous and Tyra underwent a 13.5-hour operation.

The neurosurgeon was able to get all of the cancer. However, she faces weeks of rehabilitation, taking her through February 2018. The process has been “very hard on her,” added Montgomery, causing Tyra nausea and stomach pain.

Through it all though, she’s been a trooper, and always with a smile on her face, as her Facebook photos can attest.

Retty said she’s still collecting envelopes of donations to the Relay for Life, as the last of the stragglers come in.

“We’ll have an official total soon, but right now, it’s well over $50,000,” she said. “That’s something we’re pretty proud of, and we thank the participants for their support.”

Conservative quartet wants property rights enshrined in Constitution DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

A quartet of local Conservatives are continuing their push to enshrine property rights in Canada's Constitution.

Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier, Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP Gord Brown, Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MP Scott Reid and Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark held a property rights symposium at the Lombardy Agricultural Society Hall on Tuesday, May 23.

Brown welcomed his fellow politicians to Lombardy, in the northern reaches of his riding, by reminding them that “I am in favour of entrenching property rights in the Constitution.”

And property rights, Brown added, cover everything from pipelines to cellphone towers to pruning branches on your neighbour’s tree if they hang into your yard.

History lesson Reid said he agreed with Brown that “entrenching property rights in the Constitution (is) absolutely vital.”

A former teacher, Reid explained that property can be carved up into different ways -- intellectual property (trademarks, copyright, patents) and physical property (land and “chattel,”

which could be anything on the land, like, say, a car).

The idea of private property can be traced back to England, during the time when monarchy and wealthy landowners owned all of the land. Landowners filled the seats of the House of Lords in London and understandably, passed laws to protect their rights as landowners.

While wealth used to be drawn from land ownership, now “the wealthy mainly derive their wealth from intellectual property.” Imagine owning stocks in, say, Disney, or a pharmaceutical company like Pfizer, with drug patents on, say, Viagra, or even his own family-owned store chain, Giant Tiger, with “goodwill associated with that trademark.”

Reid stressed that he had no problem with expropriation of land, so long as people are properly compensated for it. If, for example, the government needs to build a highway through your property, you can be compelled to sell to the government – but you must be compensated at current market rates.

“There are very few complaints about actual expropriation” aside from the odd, unintended bureaucratic hiccup, said Reid.

Sometimes, regulations are well-meaning but, according to Reid, are poorly executed by putting financial pressure on landowners.

In 2003, Ontario passed regulations “in (the) wake of the Walkerton disaster” that every publicly accessible water source had to have a water filter. As a result of this, some campgrounds closed as did some community halls, because of the cost.

“Some of these regulations are a little silly,” said Reid.

While he has nothing against environmental protections, he chided governments for shunting the costs of these protections on to the shoulders of those for whom the costs would be considerable.

“When (the costs) are passed off to a third party, the government stops caring,” said Reid.

"Governments must keep such items on their books as budget items.”

Reid said he would like to see an Ontarioonly amendment to the Constitution, which, he said, is possible.

He referred to an instance where New Brunswick was able to enshrine the rights of its citizens to “parallel, linguistic school systems” for French and English-language education. It was done by way of “an identical resolution” passed on both Parliament Hill in Ottawa and at the Fredericton legislature. He said a similar resolution on property rights could be done for Ontario.

Reid said he had been in contact with Alberta’s opposition Wildrose party, about a similar property rights amendment there in 2014.But the idea was put on the backburner.

Landowners’ stake As a co-founder of the Lanark Landowners Association, Hillier has long been an advocate of property rights, “a subject I’m very passionate about.”

He worked on a rural policy committee set up by Reid and “it became apparent to us that there was a need for better protection of property rights.”

The committee came upon stories of regulations run amok, of the Ministry of the Environment complaining about water contamination as

a result of bark and sawdust from a nearby mill, of wellintentioned policies made in Toronto “that were harming people ... government was ever-expanding its role.”

Flexing a libertarian streak, he wondered, “How do we limit government growth (and) intrusion into our lives?”

He was clear that “regulations are the bane of my existence. They are never debated, they are never discussed, and they are seldom known. They never come to a vote.”

One example was a proposed regulation that septic tanks be pumped every two years, which has since been withdrawn.

“The mandatory pumping will not go forward,” he said.

Another example saw the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) trying to expand its jurisdiction to every wetland that was more than an acre in size. He charged that, if this happened, “a significant number of properties,” would be drained, so to speak, of their development potential.

For Hillier, there are too many stories to count of stifling government over-regulation.

PROPERTY From page P5

a lake that he wanted to build a house on. Four years later, after two environmental assessments, four site plans, three biological assessments -all at an additional cost of $125,000 -- “he still does not have approval to build a home.”

“If we do not allow our communities to grow ... we will not be able to keep our hospitals open” or our rural schools, he said.

He pointed to statistics that show that while Ontario’s economy is growing, “it has all been centred in Toronto and Ottawa. We (in rural areas) have still not regained our employment levels” to where they were before the recession of 2008.

Down in the southwest pocket of his riding, on a stretch of Highway 2 between Napanee and Kingston, he pointed to another problem faced by a constituent, who wants to sever his lot that fronts onto the major road.

The Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration requested that he pay for an archeological study of the area. He paid, the study was done and nothing of historical significance was found. But that did not stop the ministry. It dismissed the findings of the study and said a drainage ditch on the property “may have been, at one time, a portage route for natives,” even though it was “a man-made ditch.”

This lack of development, Hillier believes, will mean a slow death for

“We have not seen any legislation on it yet so we cannot pass judgment on it,” said Hillier. However, “it’s moving in a better direction than it has been. I hope we do see some significant changes to the new OMB.” For him, there is a “false premise that people will do damage to themselves and their neighbours” if the government is not there to offer guidance. On another matter, a resident complained that two adjoining pieces of property, on which a relative had

chase an adjacent piece of property under the same name, you now have one piece of property,” explained Hillier, adding this was a “basic element of property law. Often, there is no mechanism to inform the landowners that that (change) has happened.”

He also said that if a government agency is adamant that, say, a small, swampy area on your property is really a significant wetland, he urged “local councils to stand up (and say) ‘I’m not going to take your word as gospel. Come out and prove this a wetland.'"

The St. John Catholic Elementary School hosted its annual spaghetti dinner recently to raise money for the school breakfast and nutrition program. Students in Grade 5 and 6 applied and trained for positions as greeters and servers for this event.

OPINION I

Connected to your community

Note to self: Make a list

am a great one for making lists.

Since adulting tends to involve wearing myriad hats and remembering a kabillion tiny details related to each of them, I have come to rely quite heavily upon actual lists written down somewhere on a thing.

The lists I think I have in my head cannot be trusted, it seems. For one thing, I have a very bad habit of thinking about a task and then, because I have thought the thought, I mentally check it off as being done.

This can be inconvenient when I realize later the task is not actually done.

This kind of thing usually happens when I am in the middle of some other task or not within easy access of a pen and paper. (Yes, I still use a pen and paper for most of my lists. I even write my notes in cursive.)

For example, perhaps I am driving somewhere and I remember I have to return Joe Somebody’s call. Well, because I’ve thought the task, it may not only not get done, it might not be put on a list. Usually I eventually think of it again at a more convenient listmaking or task-doing time, but then it starts to enter the realm of at-thelast-minute, which is always a lot of fun.

Last Thursday the whole family was getting ready to set out for a weekend excursion to an out-of-town gymnastics competition. The plan was to leave around 5ish. Groom-boy and I both finished work a bit early to facilitate this.

Naturally there were about 872 tiny things to do to accomplish this feat.

This included the last-minute work things and meeting with and providing instructions and a key to the kid who was going to nourish the zoo whilst we were gone. Ironically, I actually made a list for him, printed it AND emailed it to his mother.

Then there was making sure the kids were packing what they needed (with hollering and prodding administered as necessary), along with some obsessive-compulsive tidying because I didn’t want to come home to a wrecked kitchen and hairy bathroom on Sunday night. I also remembered to print off the competition schedule.

Yay me.

Interspersed in all of this was my own packing. I go away for short stints at conferences frequently enough that I have a fairly decent list in my head of what to pack, but usually I’m not interrupted 23,964 times while I’m organizing my stuff in a bag.

Apparently there were squirrels

Past Deadline

STEPHANIE GRAY

everywhere during the packing. And they were shiny and distracting.

Both Girlchild and Boychild asked me to rhyme off a list of things they needed to make sure they had packed.

This ended successfully, for the most part. Boychild missed a couple of little things. Girlchild had a list related to gymnastics, which was helpful.

Groom-boy successfully looked after his own luggage.

I apparently had some sort of blackout between rhyming off mental lists for other people and arriving at the destination. A few hours into the drive I realized I had left the printed schedule in the printer. Then, that night as I got ready for bed, I was amazed to discover I hadn’t packed underwear for the rest of the weekend.

Underwear. Seriously? That’s usually the first thing in the bag! My mental listing for clothing tends to start from the undergarments and work outwards. Clearly there was a failure of synapses.

Fortunately, we were in a city with stores, so that was not insurmountable.

In the morning I made more discoveries. No deodorant. (No problem – that could be borrowed until we went underwear shopping). I had packed some make-up, but not a key foundational item. No big comb for my unruly post-shower hair. No earrings.

For Pete’s sake! I can’t ever remember forgetting so many items. Or maybe I’ve just forgotten.

I think this further bolsters my argument for needing a personal assistant. Or a clone. Or a newer, fresher brain, perhaps. Maybe I just need a nap. Or a vacation.

The good news is, I got some shopping done. Along with the new undies and the makeup and the other missing items, I threw in some extra sparkly earrings, a new purse and a container of baby donuts. (The donuts seemed like the right thing to do.) And they had schedules at the venue. Phew.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I should go make a note about making lists for future excursions…

Mondays should be outlawed in my world

M

onday should be outlawed – at least in my world.

It doesn’t help that it’s our garbage day and the crows have a field day plucking through the good stuff. It also doesn’t help that the recycle bin is so full it’s overflowing into the ditch with the least bit of wind. I put it out at 5 a.m. and it’s not until 8:30 a.m. that I have to leave for work. But at 8 a.m. when I take Lexi out for her final morning ritual, half the contents of the garbage bag have been strewn about the lawn. I have to keep a tight rein on the dog while I scoop up the garbage, tuck it back into the holes that have been ripped into the bag, retie it in several haphazard knots and then go jump in the shower. Gross.

You think I’d learn.

But on this Monday morning, there was even more of a mess to clean up as I forgot to put the coffee basket into the percolator. I got the filter in there, and the coffee, but as I looked into the sink, there sat the basket. Sweet Baby was a gem – even though the coffee was disgusting with grounds in it, he drank it. (No, he didn’t make a new pot; he saved that for me to do, along with cleaning up the mess. Go figure.)

LAURIE WEIR Weir View Well Monday was even more of a PITA, as we have started bathroom renos and the tub is sitting in the front yard. It’s just a small one, and we’ve decided to go with a tub surround.

You would think that this wouldn’t be a big job, considering the bones and pipes are all good, so there is nothing to replace there. The window could use some TLC, but replacing one will lead to replacing all of them, and who has time/money for that? Certainly not us.

So we’ll replace the screen and call it a day. And what about that vanity that’s been in the bathroom for as long as the tub? I will come home one day this week and that too, will be in the front yard. The sink is good, the toilet was new two years ago, and the floor and ceiling have been replaced already in the past year. So really, it’s all good – except we should have gotten the tub/ surround before we yanked out the old one. I will be heading to Mom’s to shower this week (hopefully this is a short-term plan.)

And then to cap this wonderful Monday, I got a phone call at work from a payphone, which I would have let go to voice mail, but something told me to answer it.

“Hey, whatcha doing?” asked Sweet Baby.

“Huh? What’s going on – you never call from a pay phone and you always call my cell.”

“Lost my phone,” he said. “Well… it fell in a septic tank.”

(He works for a construction company.)

“Awesome. Where are you now?”

Turned out he was in town, so we went to the phone store and got him a new one – but not before I heard about every deal going – including an offer on a new tablet for just $5 a month. But they don’t know how long this deal is on as it could be finished by the end of the day. Of course they don’t.

“Tick tock buddy, I’m on my cigarette break,” I said.

I don’t smoke, but was about to start this nasty habit if one more thing was to go awry on this rainy Monday.

So what about the care plan I’m paying for each month – which didn’t

Old clock tower clock now up and running in Hawaii When Perth local Tyler Brett’s brother was on a trip to Hawaii in May, he went on a tour at the Hula Daddy Kona Coffee farm.

The main building has a clock installed on the exterior, and Tyler’s brother was even more intrigued when he came across a sign posted on the wall, which read: “This E. Howard clock was originally installed in 1872 at: Perth Town Hall, Ontario, Canada. It was restored in 2008

by American Clock Tower Company Rochester, NY USA.” Isn’t that so amazing?! Tyler’s wife, Jaana, brought it to the Perth Museum’s attention, looking for answers. The town has reached out to Hula Daddy Kona Coffee to learn more about the story behind how they got the clock tower.

If you know anything about the clock tower or its history, send me an email.

It’s one of those stories that shows just how there’s a little touch of Perth everywhere we go.

and made my way through Stewart Park and up the pathway toward Lewis Street.

Lewis Street itself is a special little road. Beautiful homes line the dead-end road and has access to the park. But I discovered an even more special element: at one house’s property, the owner has mounted a framed chalkboard, where he continuously writes inspiring quotes.

This week, the following cursive writing was found on the chalkboard: As is a tale, so is life; not how long it is but how good it is, is what matters. – Seneca.

So if you’re ever strolling through town and need some inspiration, make your way down Lewis Street.

St. John’s Church tore down the walls You know when you’ve been walking into the same space for years, you never even think about how it could look any different?

help one iota with this issue. After explaining why the phone care plan wouldn’t cover this “lost” phone, they deleted the plan. But hey, now that tablet will only cost me $5 a month, as opposed to $15 because the phone care plan was $10 a month.

What?

Please, just let me out of here with a phone, I thought, as I gathered my wits and left in a snit.

A few hours later, I was heading home and tried to call Sweet Baby.

My phone screamed at me: No Network Connection! What?!

Back to the phone store I went, where the sales guy’s boss told me the bad news. They deactivated my SIM

card, and gave Sweet Baby my number. I had his. Of course this is entirely my fault somehow.

“I’ll have to charge you to activate a new SIM card,” boss man said.

“Excuse me? I am not sure I heard what you said? This is my responsibility, how?” I gave him the hairy eyeball.

“On second thought, I’ll charge him (the sales guy) for that.”

A new phone card in hand, I got home and told Sweet Baby what happened. I had to replace the SIM card in his phone, and put his in mine. If I couldn’t handle that task, I was to bring it back to the phone store and they could do it for me.

Keep away from my phone, people; you’ve done enough already, thanks.

Perth hospital unveils patient and family care logo

The unveiling of the new Patient and Family Centred Care (PFCC) logo of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital was a resounding success. Staff, physicians, volunteers, patients and families gathered on Thursday, May 25, 2017 to celebrate the official launch of the PFCC logo.

The logo embraces the dynamics of PFCC and the culture that the hospital supports and encourages with each and every patient and family interaction. The PFCC visual does not replace the current Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital logo, but is in addition and reflects how the hospital embraces the PFCC culture.

The new PFCC logo incorporates the existing hospital logo with the wavey line along with two hearts intertwined emphasizing the connection between the patient and family, and health care provider.

Centering care on patients and families has been recognized as being

Walk4PR makes its way through Lanark County, Leeds and Grenville EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

Ron Weigand, 75, wants to hold the Liberal promise for electoral reform to account.

So, he’s walking from Kingston to Ottawa with his supporters to make his point.

Weigand made his way on from Perth to Smiths Falls along Highway 43 for 20 kilometres on Tuesday, May 23, on his second leg of his walk to raise awareness about electoral reform and in particular, support of proportional representation; an electoral system that he, and others involved in the initiative, said could provide Canada with a more fair way to elect representatives to the House of Commons.

Weigand made his 30-kilometre trek to Perth from Westport on Monday, May 22.

He walked on Highway 43 from Smiths Falls to Merrickville on Wednesday, May 24, and from Merrickville to Rideau River Provincial Park on Highway 5, near Kemptville on Thursday, May 25 — a 27-kilometre journey.

On Friday, May 26, he'll meet at Rideau River Provincial Park with other supporters at 9 a.m. to make the 24-kilometre walk to Manotick.

Weigand will make his final haul from Manotick to Ottawa’s Vincent Massey Park on Saturday, May 27, and then make his way to Parliament

from Hog’s Back Lockstation on the afternoon of Monday, May 29, for the rally planned for 5 p.m.

Weigand will end the nearly 200-kilometre Walk4PR on Parliament Hill on May 29, where a rally will be held.

The walk is timed to end on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Monday, May 29 — two days before the vote to endorse the work of the Special Committee on Electoral Reform is expected.

The group will be met by supportive members of parliament, including the leader of the Green party, Elizabeth May and NDP MP Nathan Cullen.

Cullen is the NDP democratic reform critic and launched a cross-Canada “Keep Your Promise” campaign that the Walk4PR initiative supports.

Weigand said he got the idea to walk for proportional representation a couple of years ago, but waited for the right time to act.

“It looked as though the Liberals were going to do it,” he said. “But it became apparent (Prime Minister Justin Trudeau) wasn’t going to fulfill his promise.”

Currently, Canada elects its leaders through first-past-the-post system that can put a government in power despite not winning the popular vote.

“It just doesn’t work,” said Weigand.

In a typical election, like this past election in 2015 and the election

Evelyn Harford/Metroland

Ron Weigand, 75, walked to raise awareness about electoral reform – specifically proportional representation – from Perth to Smiths Falls, en route to Ottawa from Kingston for a rally supporting electoral reform and the implementation of proportional representation. that put Harper into power in 2011 gave power to parties who did not win the popular vote, explained Réal Lavergne, president of Fair Vote Canada who rallied to support Weigand in Perth.

A party can win 39 per cent of the vote, but occupy 54 per cent of the seats in the House of Commons yielding 100 per cent of the power, he said.

The Liberal promise for electoral reform stood until Trudeau made it clear in a mandate letter to the Democratic Institutions Minister Karina Gould, that reform was no longer on

the agenda, earlier this year.

Walk4PR expressed that implementing proportional representation would result in more women and minority MPs. Lavergne said he got involved in advocating for electoral reform and in particular proportional representation, when the Liberals first added electoral reform to their campaign platform.

“People like me said, ‘We’ve got a chance,’” he said.

When Lavergne learned that Trudeau had axed potential electoral

reform, he was shocked.

“Are you nuts — it shouldn’t be your choice to make,” said Lavergne of Trudeau’s decision. “That should be a scandal.”

“The more you get involved the more important you realize it is,” said Lavergne.

“It affects the fairness of our vote, but also what we’ve learned is proportional representation leads to a different type of government, one with more dialogue and consensus.”

Other countries that have proportional representation include New Zealand and Germany.

Weigand said while the current the system is broken and “horribly skewed” he’s enjoying the journey to bring awareness to the issue of electoral reform.

“I’m enjoying it,” he said. “It’s a little crazy.”

Weigand said this is a mission he won’t give up.

“Proportional representation is something we desperately need,” he said. “We are not going away.”

Weigand said he’ll keep walking year after year, until he sees change.

Lavergne said Conservative MP for Lanark — Frontenac — Kingston, Scott Reid, was invited to the Perth send-off on Tuesday, but did not attend.

Walk for Alzheimer Society

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

The Alzheimer Society of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, held its annual Walk for Alzheimers at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre on Saturday, May 27. In Smiths Falls, the walk raised more than $19,617 this year, up from the $13,660 raised last year. The walk in Brockville raised $8,270 this year, compared to $4,100 in 2016. In this photo, “Stroll for Shirley� team members, who were the top team for donations raised in Smiths Falls in 2016, have the honour of carrying the banner at the head of the walk. They will be able to do so again, if they wish, in 2018, because they were also the top team for fundraising again, bringing in $5,145. Eva Gentle was the top individual fundraiser at $1,905. Every year 16,000 Canadians under the age Desmond Devoy/Metroland of 65 are diagnosed with Alzheimers or related dementia. There are about 25,000 new Alzheimers patients diagnosed each year, with an average of 564,000 diagnosed with Alzheimers or related dementia. As many Eva Gentle, who raised the most for an individual, for $1,905, is conas 1.1 million Canadians are affected, directly, or indirectly, by this disease. There are an estimated 3,900 gratulated for her efforts by Alzheimer Society board member Scott Chamberlain.

Embracing the high water at Perth Outfitters

The record high water levels aren’t all negative for the owners of Perth Outfitters; in fact they embrace them!

Despite having to reschedule their May long weekend SeasonOpening plans, the popular tourist venue opened with gusto. The high waters enabled new scenic paddle routes directly into popular Stewart Park, and minigolfers came out in droves, eager to see the water lapping at hole No. 8. The start of the Perth Outfitters season was a resounding success, water and all!

Perth Outfitters Outdoor Facility boasts a rental fleet of over 90 kayaks, canoes and Stand-up Paddle Boards; suitable for even beginner paddlers. Their world class Miniature Golf Course is entering it’s third

year, and registration is underway for it’s popular Summer Day Camp; 14 campers per week, 8 weeks available starting July 4th, ages 7 to 12. Campers take part in approximately three hours of water activities a day and spend the afternoons ‘Having a Blast’ with miniature golf tournaments, pingpong, go-karts, kick-bikes and other on-site activities.

That’s not all that Perth Outfitters is brewing up for the kids this summer!

An additional hole is being

added to the miniature golf course; a floating pontoonboat hole on the Tay River!

An after-school program (weekdays 3:30 - 6:00 p.m.) and PAday-camp (June 2nd) are also underway, offering similar activities to summer camp.

If you would like further information on any of the programs being offered at Perth Outfitters, visit their website at www.perthoutfitters.com, email perthoutfittersgm@gmail.com, or phone 613-772-1122.

The Perth and District Collegiate Institute track and field team competed at the Eastern Region meet last May 25 and 26 in Ottawa at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility.

Braiden Nichols led the way for the Blue Devils by winning the senior girls shot put with a best of 11.27m and discus with a toss of 34.90m.

Lauren Miller won the junior girls 800m in a time of 2:22.26 and added a second place finish in the 1,500m in a new school record of 4:55.78.

Mathew Ferguson won the senior boys 110m hurdles in a time of 14.66, and Mason King finished off the winning ways by taking the midget boys javelin with a throw of 43.15m.

Kyle Atchison placed second in the midget boys high jump clearing 1.70m.

Anthony Caserta finished fourth in the senior boys shot put with a toss of 13.60m, and Andrew Machan finished fourth in the midget boys 3,000m with a time of 9:36.73.

These seven athletes will represent PDCI at the OFSAA championships in Belleville June 1 to 3.

Also competing at the Eastern Region meet from PDCI were: Jenna Arbuckle who placed 15th in the midget girls long jump, Olivia Bourque placed 14th in senior girls triple jump, and the open girls 4x400m relay team comprised of Brianna Fournier, Leah Churchill, Jenna Arbuckle, and Sydney Deacon who finished 16th.

Football in the Falls Saturday To celebrate, minor football returning 11 years ago, the Smiths Falls Minor Football Association will once again host their annual “Football in the Falls” festival this weekend.

Saturday marks the seventh anniversary of this event which is highlighted by four back-toback Renegade home games all played at Lower Reach Park.

This year the Renegades will host the Brockville Buccaneers in each of the four contests. It is a chance for all of our local players to enjoy the spotlight while showcasing all of their hard work. This is the highlight in the Smiths Falls Renegade schedule. The games are played in an atmosphere complete with a large tailgate barbecue, draws, and music to keep fans on their feet between contests. The first kick-off of the day will take place at 9 a.m. with three more games to follow. The final kick-off the day will take place at 2:15.

The Smiths Falls Renegade program draws players from the Smiths Falls, Perth and surrounding townships and is part of the Rideau Youth Football League (RYFL). The RYFL provides a place for over 600 youth, aged eight to 17 years in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville to play football. There are over 20 teams competing from Smiths Falls, Brockville, Kemptville and Beckwith.

Mark Pankow, president of the Smiths Falls program, said he is very excited about the day and if the weather cooperates he once again expects a great turnout from the community. He cites the picturesque venue alongside the Rideau Canal and the great job the volunteers do to make the day an entertaining and festive atmo-

sphere as being paramount to the day’s success.

“It is almost incomprehensible how much work and detail goes in to making this day a special one for our players, families and fans, particularly with such a small organizing body,” Pankow said. “Jamie Doyle and his crew will begin setting things up by 6:30 a.m. on game day and by Saturday evening there are a lot of exhausted people.”

Football in the Ottawa and Seaway Valley continues to enjoy solid participation numbers.

The popularity of the Grey Cup Champion Ottawa Redblacks has brought football back to the forefront of sports conversations in eastern Ontario. You can find the complete schedule and follow the Smiths Falls Renegade football program on Facebook or visit their website at renegadesfootball.ca
