Dirt bike crashes into bus One person was airlifted to hospital after a serious traffic collision between a school bus and a dirt bike on Monday, May 30. Lanark County OPP were called to the scene on the 10th Concession of Darling, in Lanark Highlands Township, about 11 km northeast of Middleville, at 4:18 p.m., shortly after an off-road motorcycle (dirt bike), being ridden by two young people, struck a school bus. One male victim, the bike’s driver, was reported to have had serious lacerations and a compound fracture. The second victim, the bike’s passenger, had minor injuries. Both were taken to hospital. The bus driver and five students on board the bus were uninjured. An ambulance was dispatched to the scene and paramedics later requested an air ambulance to land at the intersection of Tatlock Road and Munro Line – the landing area was later moved further up the hill onto the Munro Line. A Facebook post for the online edition of this story reported that the air ambulance left the scene around 5:10 p.m. Police continue to investigate.

As visitors, community partners and volunteers look on, Two Rivers Food Hub board co-chair Peter McKenna, right, and general manager Bruce Enloe, welcomes them to the May 25 first anniversary open house at the facility, located within Smiths Falls’ Gallipeau Centre. Guests had the opportunity to tour the food hub as well as learn more about the producers utilizing the space to make their businesses grow.

Two Rivers Food Hub marks one year of fostering local food connections Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

It may have started as a small seed, but with plenty of water, the Two Rivers Food Hub continues to become a force in the local foods movement. The not-for-profit social enterprise located within the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls, celebrated its first anniversary in that space with an open house May 25. The food hub serves as a connection point between buyers and sellers of local food in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. In addition to tours of the facility, some of the producers renting space in the organization’s commercial kitchen offered samples of their products to visitors. “We’re delighted to have our friends and partners and producers out today to showcase their products and services,” remarked Two Rivers Food Hub board co-chair Peter McKenna. Beginning as a grassroots concept three years ago, through start-up funding from local municipalities, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Eastern Ontario Development Program and other groups, the location in the Gallipeau Centre was realized a year ago. The model is designed to be self-sustaining in three to five years. “It’s a local food system that we’re trying to create,” McKenna said. “It’s about how farmers can help themselves and market products. We want to make it as easy as possible to buy local and to grow local.”

As board chair for the past two years, McKenna has been involved with the concept of the food hub since the beginning and while these types of local food systems are popular in the United States. “The general public are looking for more local food products...they look when going into stores whether they’re helping local farms and the local economy,” McKenna noted. “I felt we could be the go-between for the purchaser, whether it’s a restaurant, grocery store or the general public, and the producer.” The food hub currently offers commercial kitchen and bakery space rentals (new in 2015) to allow local producers to make products more efficiently and ensure they are made in a licensed and inspected facility. The purchase of processing and storage equipment has made it easier for producers who may not have the funds to buy their own, including large agricultural coolers and freezers and a portable vegetable brush line. A pilot wholesale aggregation and distribution service, done in partnership with Wendy’s Mobile Market, increases opportunities for producers and provide service to restaurants, grocery stores and institutional food buyers. Another exciting pilot project is the weekly local food basket during the summer months (it operates monthly in the winter), giving residents a taste of what the tri-county area has to offer. McKenna said the hiring of local

food champion Bruce Enloe as the general manager of the Two Rivers Food Hub has made all the difference. Enloe is also the owner of the Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill in Kemptville. “(The food hub) has grown since we hired Bruce a year ago,” he said. “He’s the guy who really pulls it all together and makes it happen. He’s done a terrific job for us.” Enloe stressed the volunteers and 10-member board of the food hub have provided a strong foundation and had done “an amazing amount of heavy lifting.” Under his leadership, two new full-time jobs have been created within the enterprise. “I’m proud and blessed to be a part of this project,” he remarked. “...It’s good to be part of an organization that is actively taking part in making things happen for the local farm community.” Success stories One of the producers reaping the benefits of the Two Rivers Food Hub is Let’s Get Pickled, the brainchild of Eliden Farms’ Denis Gagnon and Elizabeth Dickie. Two years ago, the duo began producing the traditional Korean delicacy, kimchi, which is fermented Napa cabbage and other vegetables. One-hundred per cent organic, “we make everything from our garden,” Gagnon said. “...We did a lot of research on the health benefits and how good it is for the system, so that’s See FOOD HUB page 4

Lanark County, long-term care homes prepare to Walk the Block June 16 Ashley Kulp

Can you talk the talk and walk the block? Lanark Lodge, Perth Community Care, residents, their families and Lanark County administration staff will be lacing up their running shoes during the second annual Walk the Block fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society Thursday, June 16. The day-long event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 115 Christie Lake Road in Perth with teams taking turns walking laps around the one-kilometre block (that’s wheelchair accessible) between Lanark Lodge, Perth Community Care and the county building. Team members will collect pledges in advance, to work towards this year’s $10,000 goal. During the county’s May 11 community services committee meeting, county councillors were given an update on the fundraiser. “Our residents of the lodge can participate and not only them and those from Perth Community Care and Lanark County administration, but we are extending it to the broader community,” Lanark Lodge director Deborah Pidgeon said. Pidgeon noted that both Lanark County and Lanark Lodge have enrolled teams in

The second annual Walk the Block fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society is set for Thursday, June 16. It takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 115 Christie Lake Road in Perth. the Relay for Life event in the past, but wanted to give shift workers, staff and families a chance to be involved, close to home. “At the lodge, we have had a number of staff members who have battled cancer, so we wanted to be involved,” she stated in a press release. In addition to the main event, various bands will provide live entertainment and two barbecues will feed participants and visitors; one at lunch and another later in the evening. Those who register for Walk the Block will eat for free and others will be charged a small fee. Want to make a donation? A wishing well will be set up to collect any funds. Walk the Block was designed with flexibility in mind, said Pidgeon. Teams have the opportunity can participate in as little or as much of the 12-hour event as they wish. “Sometimes 12 hours is just too much and

too hard to do for some people,” she stated. Staff can choose to walk laps on their break and the accessible route makes it easier for family members with loved ones at Lanark Lodge and Perth Community Care to join in. Once night falls, just as is tradition with Relay for Life, a luminary ceremony is planned for 9:15 p.m. Participants can purchase luminaries in honour of a loved one who has passed away from cancer or is currently fighting the disease. “If you haven’t had the opportunity to actually attend a luminary ceremony, it is magical,” Pidgeon remarked.

why we decided on kimchi.” Gagnon and Dickie make their products right in the food hub’s commercial kitchen and also store their inventory at the facility. “Everything is made here. We come here and process it and ferment it here,” he noted. The fermenting process takes about five weeks and while they used to sell their kimchi at farmers’ markets, they have expanded into local stores and hope for even more growth in the future. Having the opportunity to rent space in a commercial kitchen that adheres to health regulations makes the partners’ jobs easier. “It can cost $75,000 for a commercial kitchen and at this point, we can’t afford it,” he explained. “This is what the hub is doing for us. We come here at a very minimum cost and we can work and meet the (health) requirements. It’s so good. It’s a brand new way for local producers.” Milestones, membership program A number of goals were set for 2015 and during anniversary open house, Enloe

The duo rent space at the Two Rivers Food Hub and are able to produce and store their inventory right on site. provided an update on the progress of the organization. By taking over the administration of the Fitzroy Beef Farmers Cooperative, the food hub is working with eight beef producers and distributes to more than 45 individual and eight commercial buyers. The partnership with Wendy’s Mobile Market has allowed distribution from

more than 75 local growers and producers to 140 direct sales clients and 100 wholesale ones. “We should be really proud of that,” Enloe said of the food hub’s relationship with Wendy’s Mobile Market. The local food basket program was also a big success. In 2015, more than 45 local food basket shares with local

producers. An offshoot, the giving basket program, allows the organization to support local charities by offering select food shares at a higher price with the extra baskets going to people in need. In this case, YAK Youth Services in Perth was the beneficiary. “We asked people at the beginning of the winter basket season, so it’s some way of giving back to the community,” Enloe explained, noting they will do it again this summer. Adding to their arsenal of

resources is another area on which the food hub is focusing, Enloe noted. A number of workshops, information nights and tours were held in 2015 with more than 600 people passing through the facility’s doors. Work is also currently being completed on a 16,000 cubic feet cooler room. “We’re very excited...and it provides a lot of space for overwintering root vegetable crops and helping us build a year-round food system,” he said. The special occasion also served as the launch of a new membership program for the Two Rivers Food Hub. “We’re now able to offer memberships in the food hub for those interested in becoming more involved,” Enloe stated. Memberships are available in three categories: Supporter, buyer and producer/processor memberships. All members receive access to online purchasing at special rates, regular updates on food hub events and news, as well as the first shot at tickets, workshops, local food baskets, etc.,

but these three different memberships are tailored to a specific audience. “We’re very excited about these memberships and we’re looking forward to seeing a lot of people come on board,” Enloe said. To ensure the local food hub movement continues to gain steam, McKenna said awareness and funding is the key to surviving. “We have no big government money that keeps this thing going. It’s your support,” he stated. “...All the funds that come in stay in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. It’s a great economic developer. We have no big benefactor. It’s you that keeps making this happen.” “...To really survive we need to get into the distribution business,” McKenna continued. “We’re building this as we can afford it.” For more information on the Two Rivers Food Hub and the perks of its new membership program, visit www. tworiversfoodhub.com, email info@tworiversfoodhub.com or call 613-205-1338.

Carol Snook shares cancer journey, survivors invited to take part in June 4 Relay for Life When Carol Snook was told in June 2009 that she had breast cancer, she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “I was very surprised and shocked as there wasn’t a history of breast cancer in the family,” she relates. It was during a regular mammogram that a small lump was detected. After a follow up ultrasound and biopsy, the cancer diagnosis was made. “Even then, I couldn’t feel the lump myself as it was quite small,” she states. “That is why I impress on all my female friends to get regular mammograms.” Snook underwent surgery in late August that year. That was followed by five sessions of chemotherapy, three weeks apart, which started in October, and then three-and-a-half weeks of radiation. The treatments finished at the end of March 2010. For her, one of the greatest difficulties in her cancer journey was the waiting between biopsy and surgery, and then surgery to treatment. “I am the type of person who likes to know the whole process in advance but had to wait after each step to learn what would happen next,” she remarks. Thus it was an exciting moment for Snook when she finally got to ring the

bell to signal that her chemotherapy treatments were over. “That is one treatment that I would not wish on anyone,” she shares. “Follow-up checkups were approached with positivity as I quickly regained my strength and could get on with my life.” Three years ago, Snook and other family members and friends joined together to form the Cancer Kicking Cousins team for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life (RFL). “The Relay is important to me, first as a cancer survivor, but also because of family members and friends who have battled cancer, many who have lost that battle,” she notes. “Our team wants to do their part in raising money for research and to provide assistance to patients and their families.” In 2015, the team achieved the gold level status at the RFL in Smiths Falls, raising more than $11,000. Her brother who will celebrate his 84th birthday a few days before this year’s event – which will take place from 5 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, June 4 at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) track – raised more than $1,500 in 2015 as the top individual fundraiser. Snook will once again be attending the Survivor

Reception and Survivor Victory Lap at the RFL. “It is always an emotional time doing the Victory Lap and to see all the other survivors either walking in wheelchairs or carts,” she says of the experience. “The Survivor Reception is an opportunity to meet with

others who have gone through similar experiences and to see many who attended in previous years.” The Survivor Reception will begin at 4 p.m. on June 4 with light refreshments being served in the Cafetorium at SFDCI. The Victory Lap will begin im-

mediately following the opening ceremonies at 5 p.m. For those who wish to take part in the lap but are unable to walk it, golf carts will be provided. “Survivor doesn’t mean that you have to have beaten cancer,” points out Vicki Christensen who is co-ordinating

Golfers come out to support Big Brothers Big Sisters at 3M Golf for the Kids Supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County were on hand to enjoy a fun day of golf at Mapleview in Perth on Saturday, May 28. It was another sold out event, with 144 golfers taking part, and enjoying the beautiful course while supporting a great local children’s charity. 3M Canada in Perth was this year’s title sponsor, and sent two teams to participate, as well as donated items for the very popular take home bags that each golfer gets. The participants were well fed during the day. Tim Hortons donated the coffee and muffins, Garden Market Smiths Falls provided fresh fruit for a mid morning snack and dessert to accompany the homemade cookies provided by Wendy Andison. Shoppers Drug Mart in Perth and Smiths Falls provided chips and pop. Blair & Sons donated water and ice. There were many games that added to the day’s fun, including a putting contest that provided many golfers with Tim Hortons’ gift cards donated by Leo Adams Investments and a trip to Las Vegas donated by Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac in Smiths Falls. Thank you to Crain and Schooley part of Arthur J. Gallagher Canada Limited for providing a hole in one contest. Another lucky golfer won a hammock and stand donated by the Smiths Falls Canadian Tire. Big Brothers Big Sisters were happy

Metroland Media was once again the media sponsor, helping to spread the news about the 3M Golf for Kids Sake Tournament. Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC was the cart sponsor for this year’s tournament.

“Mentoring programs cost money,” quotes Jennifer Miller, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters. “Having trained social service workers on staff to ensure volunteers are carefully screened is really important. Events like this one help us cover those costs.” Five-hundred and fifty-five children received service through the

DUNLOP

agency in 2015. Each volunteer that offers to work with a child through our agency is carefully screened and evaluated for the safety of the children by a trained social worker. Thorough background checks are conducted, along with interviewing and training. Children are also given safety training, and go through an interview process, along with their families, to ensure that each match is set up to be successful. Matches are then monitored closely to ensure its success, and the safety and well-being of the child. National standards are followed throughout the process.

The agency does not receive sustainable government funding, so relies on events like this golf tournament to fund its programs. More than 15 volunteers worked tirelessly to put on the event, which raised over $15,000 for the local charity. Special recognition was given to Ruth Anne Johnson, a volunteer who has been co-ordinating the silent auction for the last seven years.

Health unit raises awareness on dangers of blue-green algae Blue-green algae blooms are a natural seasonal phenomenon that may appear in our lakes, rivers and ponds. Many of these blooms are relatively harmless; however, some species have the potential to produce toxins which may be harmful to people and animals. The presence of blue-green algae and its toxins can only be confirmed through a laboratory test, so we recommend taking a cautious approach when you suspect a blue-green algae bloom. Toxins are released when the algae cells break down; these toxins can cause skin irritation, nausea and vomiting. When exposed to higher concentrations you can experience

liver problems. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit advises people using surface water for recreation and drinking, to become familiar with blue-green algae so they can make informed decisions on when to avoid contact with the water. Algae blooms do degrade with time; however, it is not possible to say whether the toxins have completely left the area. Once the toxin is released from the cell, where it goes is dependent on the local characteristics of water movement in the area. The toxin will eventually be diluted into the body of water as any other soluble compound.

Drinking water Surface water is never a safe source of drinking water without effective treatment. The toxins released by bluegreen algae are not removed by commonly used treatment methods such as boiling, chlorination or ultraviolet light treatment. Consult a water treatment specialist if your drinking water comes from the lake. You may want to choose another source of water for drinking. Recreational water use Avoid activities that increase your exposure to toxins in the water during an active algae bloom. When deciding whether to resume recreational use

HEAR BETTER LIVE BETTER

of the water after a blue-green algae bloom (swimming and water sports) consider the following factors: • Faster moving water will dilute and move the toxins out of an area more quickly, further decreasing the risk to health. Each property will have a different water flow pattern, so a local assessment is useful to further assess risk. • Skin irritation is the first sign that the level of toxin is significant in the water, so if this occurs, it is important not to go in the water. A few more days will help to clear the water if it is moving well, unless another bloom has occurred. • The water in lakes and rivers al-

ways has the potential to be infected with bacteria, viruses and other microbes that can affect health.

Opportunity knocks

e understand why some of you do not feel you should have to keep your unattended vehicles secured or the doors to your house and garage locked while you are doing work on your property. Unfortunately, there are too many examples of how those who don’t give it a second though or choose not to heed the warnings from law enforcement end up getting burned. All it takes is a few moments for a crime of opportunity to occur. At a recent Carleton Place planning and protection committee meeting, Les Reynolds, the town’s director of protective services indicated an arrest was made in a recent spree of car break-ins. He said while some people still don’t lock their vehicles in their yard, it’s the best defence against theft. A Perth man was also charged with multiple counts of theft and other offences for a series of motor vehicle thefts in Mississippi Mills. The police can’t be everywhere all of the

time, so the rest of us have to do our part and make note and report any suspicious activity seen or heard. Setting an example by being a good neighbour could serve a useful purpose when the shoe is on the other foot and we have been victimized. The other thing we can do is reduce the risk of being ripped off by taking simple steps to discourage thieves. How many of us make a point of not leaving items of value – a purse, wallet or cell phone, or maybe a laptop – in our vehicles that are unlocked or have the windows down and that are in plain view of passersby? No, we shouldn’t have to keep everything under lock and key. Eastern Ontario is a safe place to live compared to just about everywhere else, but property crime has been and continues to be a reality here. We’re not helping the situation by ignoring the problem. By being a bit more careful and making note of and reporting suspicious activity to police immediately, maybe there would be fewer thefts.

Crossing her fingers made things right for Mary when telling a lie Mother put her hand on my shoulder and looked me square in the eye. I was about to head out to school, and I knew exactly what she was going to say, so I put my hands behind my back and crossed my fingers. I had it on good authority that if you were about to tell a lie, crossing your fingers made things right. “Now don’t you and Velma go walking in those ditches of water on the way home from school. It’s still too cold, and you’ll come with a death of the cold, and we’ll have to call Mrs. Beam and you know what that means: the onion treatment.” With my fingers knitted behind my back, I assured her we would stay clear of the ditches, knowing full well Velma and I, once we got rid of our brothers and sisters, would do what we did just about every day coming home from the

Northcote School. The ditches still had water from the Spring run-off, and heavy rains for several days made them look like little streams, and were too inviting to be ignored. As soon as the coast was clear, Velma and I headed behind a cluster of cedars, peeled off our shoes and stockings, crammed them into our book bags, and tucked our skirts into the elastic legs of our navy blue fleece lined bloomers. Making sure no one was on the Northcote Side Road, we squealed with sheer

joy as our bare feet hit the water. The grass underfoot was like silk, and of course there was never any garbage thrown in the ditches back then, and we sloshed along at our heart’s content, heading from the side road from the school, almost to where our lanes began. Not once did I think of Mother’s words as I left for school in the morning. After all, I had my fingers crossed. By the time we reached our long lane, we had run out of water in the ditches, and we reluctantly had to abandon what we considered the utmost joy, walking barefoot in the waterfilled ditches of the Northcote Side road! Our book bags hung from our shoulders, and we reluctantly left the ditches as we neared our lane, which was just before the Thoms’, gingerly stepping

onto the dirt road and heading for the cluster of cedars behind the rail fence. We sat on the big rock and let the sun dry our legs, which were now the colour of beets freshly pulled from the garden, and still dripping wet from

the water in the ditches. Our legs had to be dried completely before we could put on our long stockings and shoes. And Velma and I laughed and delighted in the conspiracy of the whole escapade. Knowing

perfectly well, as long as the ditches held the water, we would repeat our adventure. We couldn’t spend too much time getting back into our See MARY page 9

After all, it was only three and a half miles between the Northcote School and our farms, and so we had to be quick about it.

As of March 2016 the Trillium funding ran out. The board of directors requested Mississippi Mills to provide sustainable funding on an ongoing basis for the salary of one staff person. Council has approved funding of approximately $10,000 for 2016, which can be used towards the salary of a paid staff person. We are thankful and appreciative to the council for recognizing the importance of preserving the heritage and culture of the community and for providing some funds for staff salary. This is obviously not enough to fund a full-time staff position.

My stockings were damp, so I draped them over the chair near my bed, tucked my not too dry shoes under the washstand, and headed downstairs in my play clothes. “I bet you and Velma walked the ditches on your way home,” my hate-

ful brother Emerson said at the supper table. I dropped my fork, put my hands behind my back with my fingers crossed, and denied it vehemently. Mother was too busy filling our plates to take notice, as I shot daggers at Emerson. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

The grand opening of the Kemptville Farmers’ Market was held on May 29. The farmers’ market, located at the B&H Grocer parking lot in Kemptville, has been running for 10 seasons and grown exponentially in that time. Above, Jack Deslauriers and Brock Dowdell visit with a bunny. Above right, Al Wood and the Woodsmen perform. Throughout the day, Bruce Enloe and Friends and Phlat Black and Blue also took the stage.

and organizers are hoping to exceed that number this year. While survivors can register the day of the event, they are encouraged to pre-register by contacting Anita Carley, fundraising specialist for Leeds & Grenville and the Smiths Falls area with the FLA & The Waterways community office of the CCS at 1-866877-0309, ext. 3653 or email her at acarley@ontario.cancer.ca. You can also visit the

RFL website at relayforlife. ca/smithsfalls. Survivor “visitor only” registration will be available this year. Snook encourages those who have not taken part in the Survivor events before to come and join the other survivors. “And not to be nervous as we have all been through cancer, although each one in a different way,” she states. The cancer survivor was honoured to be asked to be the Community Champion

for this year’s RFL. “I hope I can have an impact on survivors, participants and contributors,” she says. Like many, Snook says her cancer diagnosis has changed her approach to life. “I now live for each day,” she comments. “As Robin Williams said in Dead Poets Society, ‘Carpe Diem.’ I retired from work earlier than I had originally planned and am now pursuing my love of travel.”

Lily joins the growing Paw Patrol brigade Our daughter and her family recently moved back to Ottawa from Regina, something we are obviously delighted about. No more day-long flights to Saskatchewan (including airport wait times) to see them. Kathleen and I are so pleased to have Heather and Indy back in this area. He’s been transferred to his company’s Canadian head office in Ottawa. Grandma and grandpa are now only a 40-minute drive away from grandchild No. 1, Lily. Heather and Indy are expecting grandchild No. 2 this summer. During the transition from Regina to Ottawa they lived with us for six weeks. We got along exceedingly well and it was so nice to have Lily, who turned two in March, around us every day for an extended period. At this age children change so fast. Her vocabulary is getting bigger by the day and her personality is rapidly developing. Lily doesn’t have a middle name. But if she did it would be spelled “FU-N”! Kathleen and I were in the city doing some shopping one day recently. Afterwards we took the opportunity to visit Heather and Lily (Indy was at work of course) and take them out for lunch. Lily’s latest word is “exactly” and she uses it in all the right places too. If you make a point with her these days that is usually her answer. “Exactly,” she replies. And with so much emphasis I have to stifle laughter. Lily doesn’t like it if you laugh at something she says. You can laugh with her, but not at her! From Christmas until mid-March Lily and her parents were still in Regina. By the time Heather and Lily arrived here the change in our granddaughter was profound. She was saying so much and was starting to put words into short sentences. Lily doesn’t miss a thing either! Son Craig and I drove to the airport to pick up his sister and niece (Indy remained in Regina for a few days to facilitate the move). It was early evening when we left the airport and we were famished. We stopped for dinner at a popular west Ottawa eatery. It was there that I learned my granddaughter is a “triple-dipper.” A triple-dipper is someone who puts the same vegetable (Lily loves red peppers) or French fry into the same container of dip three times in rapid succession. I also discovered Lily isn’t adverse to mixing ketchup and ranch dressing during her dipping sessions. At the restaurant in question bigscreen televisions are everywhere. Lily loves TV, especially the commercials. As we waited for our meals she was intently watching the screen behind me. Trump(ed) I found out our granddaughter is also up on American politics. Craig and I were sure we heard her say, “Trump.”

Reflections By Jeff maguire

On inquiring Heather informed us that Lily follows the news closely. She recognizes Donald Trump the instant film footage or photos of the presumptive Republican presidential candidate appear on screen. I’m not sure that’s a good thing? But evidently my granddaughter has inherited some of her grandpa’s interest in the news. It was at the restaurant that I heard Lily say the name “Marshall” for the first time. She was using a red crayon to make her mark on the colouring sheet they give all little kids. “Who is Marshall?” I

asked Heather. “Oh, he’s one of the pups in a TV show Lily likes. It’s called Paw Patrol. “He (Marshall) is a fire dog (a Dalmatian as it turns out) so when she sees red, Lily thinks of Marshall.” Until that night in March I had never heard of Paw Patrol. Since then, thanks to my granddaughter, I have become well educated about the animated kids’ program which is attracting a growing audience, not only here but around the world. I can now tell you all about Marshall and his fellow rescue pups. No, they weren’t “rescued.” Instead, under the guidance of a 10-year-old boy named Ryder, it is the six pups – the others are named Chase, Rocky, Zuma, Skye and Rubble – who do the rescuing. The Paw Patrol is always saving someone during their ongoing effort to protect residents of the fictional city of Adventure Bay. Other characters of note are Mayor

Goodway, the city’s problem prone chief executive and her “purse pet”, a chicken with the appropriate name ‘Chickaletta’ who is always running “a – fowl” of someone or something. There is Cap’n Turbot, a bumbling marine biologist and fisherman who the pups are inevitably tasked with assisting or rescuing. Wally the Walrus also makes regular guest appearances. Wally is smarter than his friend the captain. “No job is too big, no pup is too small,” Ryder says to the person who calls for help. Our Lily never tires of Paw Patrol. She absolutely loves the series. When they were staying with us I would ask her every morning what she would like to watch on television. Without hesitation she answered, “Paw Troll.” Remember, she is just two. The word “patrol” doesn’t roll easily off her

World No Tobacco Day highlights standardized packaging theme May 31 was World No Tobacco Day! This year’s theme was ‘Plain and Standardized Packaging’ for tobacco products. Many Canadians may not be aware of how much product promotion and marketing goes into pack design for cigarettes and other tobacco products. The tobacco industry, however, is critically aware how valuable

little tongue yet. Ask Lily what the characters favourite sayings are and she can instantly tell you. “What does Rubble say?” “Rubble on the double,” Lily states with dramatic emphasis. “What about Chase?” “Chase is on the case,” she announces. Not surprisingly when he’s asked to take on a task Lily’s favourite character Marshall (the Dalmatian pup) says, “I’m fired up!” Based on my granddaughter’s considerable interest I was moved to investigate what is behind the growing franchise that is Paw Patrol. Merchandise based on the TV series dominates every toy store these days. The closing credits pass quickly. But I was sure I saw a Canadian flag flash by. Incredibly Paw Patrol is a Canadian series. The wildly successful series of TV shows, video games and merchandise was created and is owned by Toronto-based Spin Master. Marketing dynamo The second week of May, Spin Master released its 2016 first-quarter earnings. Fans of the series – incredibly I now find myself among them – weren’t surprised. Market analysts were! The world’s financial gurus are now sitting up and taking notice. That’s because the first-quarter earnings for the firm were an astounding $161.7 million (US). Spin Master’s revenues jumped 51.9 per cent in one year. The TV series and its spin-offs are responsible for a major share of that. Paw Patrol is on the rampage, financially speaking! Spin Master has revised its sales growth guidance chart from “highsingle-digits” to the “mid-teens” range. The Canadian company’s skyrocketing sales are being driven by Paw Patrol and associated merchandising. However the firm has also acquired American board game maker Cardinal Industries which has given it a further boost. Things are going so well that on May 16 Spin Master shares hit a new high of $28.88 before closing at a still very impressive $28.26. That’s a 50 per cent jump in 10 months.

the pack is for both recruiting new smokers and keeping brand loyalty among current smokers. Currently tobacco companies are manipulating pack size, shape and colour to minimize the health warnings as well as to target particular groups. Some cigarettes mimic cosmetics and come in sleek, iridescent packages. Other packs feature fold out

The firm’s success traces from modest beginnings in 1994. Three university graduates invested $10,000 in an enterprise that manufactured nylon stocking-covered heads of sawdust. The heads were then topped with grass seed that grew to look like hair. They were first sold on the street in downtown Toronto. Some of you may recall “Earth Buddy”, the product the trio developed. As basic as it was Earth Buddy was picked up by major retailers and by the end of 1995 it had sold 1.5 million units. The company’s evolution has been rapid. In just over two decades Spin Master is one of the largest toy companies in the world. As recently as 2008 they launched an entertainment division to develop TV programs and video games. They approached Keith Chapman, the British television producer and writer who created the popular Bob the Builder children’s animated TV series, asking him to invent a new franchise. In 2013 Chapman’s Paw Patrol was unleashed. The first episodes aired on the American cable channel Nickelodeon and TVO Kids in Ontario in August 2013. It was an instant hit on both sides of the border. Today Paw Patrol is distributed to 160 countries. The series has spawned a growing and hugely popular line of children’s toys, video games, books and posters. Spin Master is now eyeing the massive Asian market as a new frontier for their rapidly expanding franchise. This is a Canadian success story that is growing with every passing day. When Lily turned two in March family and friends gave her numerous gifts. Many relate to her favourite TV show. She has Paw Patrol bath toys, stuffed figures, a backpack, a folding chair, books and other items spun from the series. I now record episodes on the PVR so we’ll have them when Lily visits. When she arrives at grandma and grandpa’s house these days there’s little question what she’ll do. First she sits on the couch. Then grandma gives her a cup of apple juice while she waits for me to switch on the TV. “Do you want to watch Paw Patrol Lily,” I ask. “Exactly,” our little granddaughter says!

marketing materials or attractive (inner packs that encourage the user to discard the outside portion with the vital health warnings. Considering that tobacco products are the only legal product that, when used as directed, kills 50 per cent of users prematurely, the pack needs to reflect the toxic product inside. Plain and standard packaging would ensure that all packs are the same size, same shape and same colour. Brand name would be printed in a plain font and there would be no brand colours or logos permitted. This has been done in several other countries and is reflected in Canada’s commitment to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. These measures will reduce the

attractiveness of the deadly product inside, stop the tobacco companies from advertising through the pack and increase the effectiveness of the health warning. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit supports plain and standardized packaging. The federal health minister has stated it is a top priority for this government. Canada is ready to join other

jurisdictions like Australia, the UK, France and Ireland in implementing plain and standardized packaging for tobacco products.

LAWS thanks community for generosity with recent donations The Artistic Artists, a group of five girls from Merrickville Public School presented their cheque last week to The Lanark Animal Welfare Society. The girls handmade a wide variety of items which they sold at the school in April and raised $ 193 for their cause. Well done, Artistic Artists!! Thank you so much girls, from all the paws of LAWS! A huge thank you to the Global Pet Foods store in Stittsville who was fundraising for shelters in February and choose LAWS to benefit from it. Carloads of food were sent to LAWS as well. Hope to see you this Saturday, June 4 at our first garage sale of 2016. Rain or shine, we’ll be there and will be open for business at 8 a.m. on 253 Glenview Road in Smiths Falls.

This week’s featured pets Puma When Puma came to LAWS she was frightened and very unsure about what was going on. It was not easy to handle her but after she was spayed she calmed down, somewhat. Recently she was moved into another area where she enjoys the company of several other cats. She’s doing a lot better, however we feel Puma would be happier if she could roam some land and find herself a warm barn with a haystack. If you have space for this little black and white cat she’ll help you keeping it free of mice and rats. She is spayed and up to date with all her inoculations.

made himself already well-liked by the customers who have met him. Kenny tries to convince the other cat in the store, Merlin, that he’s ok to play with. Roaming the store is only possible when there are no dogs around. Kenny must have had a very traumatic experience with dogs as he does not like them, none of the dogs he’s met in the store so far. Therefore he should be in a home with no dogs. We hope he finds a home soon as he does not like living in his cage. If you’d be interested in a very friendly, laidback cat who loves to share his affection with you, then Kenny is your man. He’s so very gentle and handsome too as you can see from the picture. We’re pretty confident that he’s OK living with children as well. Go and see him soon don’t miss out on this very lovable cat. He is easy to fall in love with.

The Nice Guys takes audience on trip back to 1970s L.A. MOVIE: The Nice Guys STARRING: Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Angourie Rice, and Kim Basinger DIRECTOR: Shane Black RATING: 14A Welcome to 1977 Los Angeles. Welcome to a world of corruption and murder. A world two unlikely partners are trying to navigate to find a young woman who’s in over her head. Everyone is looking for Amelia (Margaret Qualley). Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) is the kind of guy you call when you need a problem to go away. He did a job for Amelia, but now thinks she might be in trouble. He hires private detective Holland March (Ryan Gosling) to help him find her which is ironic because March was the job Amelia hired Healy to make go away. March was looking for Amelia as part of a different case. He was hired by the aunt of Misty Mountains (Murielle Telio), an adult film star, who died in an apparent suicide. The aunt is convinced her niece is alive, and she wanted March to find her. His investigation turned up Amelia as a possible lead. After Healy broke March’s arm, March let the case go. Now that Healy wants him to help him find Amelia, March figures a job is a job. March takes the money, and together with Healy they uncover a strange plot. It seems Amelia was involved in making an ‘experimental’ film, and everyone involved in making that movie is now dead. If they don’t find Amelia soon she will be too. One of the things that really struck me was how Shane Black was able to turn the clock back to re-

My Take

MARK HASKINS

create 1977 Los Angeles. The sets, the costumes, the cars on the freeway, the ads on the billboards, and the shots of the city. The attention to detail immerses you in this time and in this story. That same attention to detail carries over to the crafting of the plot. It’s a classic detective story with plenty of twists and turns. It begins as a simple missing person case and develops into a conspiracy that reaches all the way into the government. The cast is extremely sharp. Kim Basinger, Margaret Qualley and Keith David are great, but it’s Angourie Rice who is a real stand out. She plays March’s daughter Holly, who despite March’s best attempts, keeps getting involved to try and help her dad. She’s funny when she needs to be funny, she’s insightful when she needs to be insightful, but underneath it all remains a child. Russell Crowe has a knack for playing tough guys. He’s perfect as Healy who has no qualms about breaking a man’s nose if he believes it’s the right thing to do. Ryan Gosling effortlessly becomes a private detective who relies on luck as much as skill, and struggles as widowed husband and a single dad. Together Crowe and Gosling do funny, they do hardboiled, they do heroics. The chemistry between them is fantastic, and more than worth the price of admission. The Nice Guys is good, but with them it’s must-see cinema. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Post-traumatic stress disorder and how healing can happen Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) …occurs as a result of exposure to an extreme traumatic stressor involving the threat of death or serious injury. The threat may be experienced directly or may involve witnessing others at risk for death or injury. Some examples of traumatic events are sexual and physical assault, war experiences, imprisonment, car accidents, and natural disasters. (From Ottawa Anxiety and Trauma Clinic website: http://www.traumaclinic.ca). PTSD symptoms include: • Re-experiencing symptoms – bad memories, nightmares and/or “flashbacks” • Avoidance of reminders of the event • Hyperarousal (feeling edgy, anxious or hyperalert) • Negative thinking and mood

wreak havoc on our bodies and spirits. The long-term, alarming, debilitating, and often bizarre symptoms of PTSD develop when we cannot complete the process of moving in, through and out of the ‘immobility’ or ‘freezing’ state,” Levine says. The symptoms of PTSD reflect a “normal” reaction to an abnormal situation, and cause problems for the sufferer, instead of healthy adaptation. In nature, the “freeze-faint” reaction, or immobility response works very well, e.g. a deer standing still in a forest, while on a highway, the “deer in the headlights” is maladaptive. Healing through group, individual therapy Although individual counselling is usually an essential avenue for helping people recover from PTSD, for many people, group counseling programs provide a strong foundation for the healing process. (See the Fall 2014 issue of Mind Matters for an in-depth article on group therapy.) There are three stages in the healing process: Stabilization, symptom management and skills training, and trauma memory processing. The type of treatment depends on what stage the person in in. This can fluctuate over time, as life circumstances affect a person’s mental state. Stabilization: A person suffering from PTSD may become isolated, overwhelmed with their distress and difficulties. The focus here is on stabilization. Bass and Davies, authors of The Courage to Heal, describe this as the “emergency stage.” Suicidal feelings or urges are a lifethreatening risk at this time. Crisis counselling is needed,

distressing trauma memories, emotions, negative selfperceptions, and unhealthy behaviour patterns that are linked with the trauma experience. The key here is developing the ability to observe oneself with a calm mind. A well-researched treatment approach, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), may be useful at this stage. At the heart of EMDR is a “dual focus awareness,” which includes a strong, grounded self, aware of safety and comfort, and a traumatized self, a kind of “survivor mode” that arose from the trauma. Sue Genest, a Canadian trauma therapist asks, “Why look at the past?” She describes the process of healing traumatic memories as follows: “Historical incidents can intertwine and interfere with current difficulties.

and possibly medication, to help reduce the intensity of the anxiety, depressed mood and/or sleep disruption. Symptom management and skills training: Once a person is through the extreme distress of PTSD, (s) he is ready to develop coping skills. Learning to recognize symptoms of anxiety and/ or depression, and learning about the impact of trauma on emotional and interpersonal functioning is the focus at this stage. Several group programs at Lanark County Mental Health are invaluable for people in this stage of recovery. Learning to manage emotional storms takes practice and patience, and the mutual support of the group is invaluable in this stage. Processing trauma memories: Once a person has the ability to “ground” him/herself, it becomes possible to work through the intensely

MERIVALE RD

People with PTSD often have changes in sleep, concentration and memory, energy, and outlook. They may be depressed, emotionally numb, or irritable. Their relationships are affected by the change in personality that often happens as they struggle to deal with their symptoms. They may have trance-like states with a loss of awareness of “normal” consciousness (dissociation), or feelings of unreality. Drug or alcohol abuse is very common, as the person is overwhelmed and tries to numb the pain. PTSD affects a person on all levels: body, mind and spirit, relationships, and the ability to function. Sometimes when an adult experiences a trauma or a tragic loss, there is a re-activation of the painful emo-

tions and memories of childhood traumas that had been long buried. First responders, who witness traumas in their work, are at risk for PTSD, and the existence of a “tough through it” culture may inhibit them from seeking help. No two people have exactly the same experience when faced with a tragedy or trauma. Yet there are some commonalities, because of the way our nervous systems are organized. Peter A. Levine, author of Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma, describes in a very clear way how our nervous systems are organized, and how understanding and working with this normal physiology provides us with way to heal from the impact of trauma. There are two survival modes: the “fight or flight” reaction (sympathetic nervous system) and the less familiar “freeze-faint” reaction (parasympathetic nervous system). Levine writes, “The key to healing traumatic symptoms in humans is in our physiology. When faced with what is perceived as inescapable or overwhelming threat, humans and animals both use the immobility response. The important thing to understand about this function is that it is involuntary. This simply means that the physiological mechanisms governing this response resides in the primitive, instinctual parts of our brains and nervous systems, and is not under conscious control.” “Traumatic symptoms are not caused by the triggering event itself. They stem from the frozen residue of energy that has not been resolved and discharged; this residue remains trapped in the nervous system where it can

New lots sooN to be released

in Maggie’s Place, beckwith, by luxart Homes BY AMY HOGUE Imagine coming home at the end of a workday to a new, highend, luxury home that’s still only a few minutes away from urban amenities like grocery stores and shopping locations. Purchasers looking for new, quality built homes at affordable pricing will

be pleased to learn that Luxart Homes will soon be releasing additional lots in the much sought-after development, Maggie’s Place, located in Beckwith Township. “People have been really excited for this release come out, there’s been a real buzz about it,” co-founder and CEO of Luxart

Homes, Amanda Wagorn, said of the upcoming release, “We’re excited to get it going, and it will be ready for people to move into their new homes in spring or summer 2017.” Of the 101 lots in Maggie’s Place, about 50 per cent are already sold, and with a location only a minute or two to Hwy. 7, Wagorn said the lots have been in high demand. Development is available for bungalows or two-story homes on lots sized between 1.5 and 3 acres, with options for open or wooded lots, and a range of sun directionalities. All lots are serviced by full underground Hydro, Bell Canada, Fibe Internet, and Rogers Cable, and the development is close to the amenities of Carleton Place, as well as the Beckwith Recreation complex, one of the largest in Ontario. Maggie’s Place offers something much more than just location to prospective purchasers: it offers a community of neighbours. Wagorn explained that the community in Maggie’s Place has become very close-knit, and frequent community events in the development help to ensure new residents have an opportunity to get to know one another, fostering that community feeling. Luxart Homes is a home-builder focused on Carleton Place and Beckwith, and Maggie’s Place is one of two developments in the area, the other being Berkeley Park, in Carleton Place. From a purchaser’s point of view, Luxart Homes offers something unique to the housing industry by offering full custom design at no charge, allowing purchasers influence over the design of their home.

“It’s not choose one of these two options,” wagorn explained, “we start with a blank page to design something that will match the individual requirements of each family.”

“It’s not choose one of these two options,” Wagorn explained, “We start with a blank page to design something that will match the individual requirements of each family.” Interior and exterior finishing, flooring options, floor plan design, lot orientation…all are on the table when dealing with Luxart Homes, which means that each home has been individually created to match the purchaser’s needs. Included in the base price, Luxart Homes offers hardwood on the main floor, ceramic in wet areas, full tiled walls in showers, nine foot ceilings, oversized windows, fireplace, niches and more! Luxart Homes is a well-known developer in Lanark County, with a reputation for the aesthetic quality of their homes, as well as a high quality of construction and customer service. Wagorn explained when someone purchases a home from Luxart Homes they can expect individualized attention, which brings with it a welcoming autonomy with the build and a wide range of choice. Homes in Maggie’s Place start at $459,000, a price which is comparable to other homes of similar size in the area but without the higher-end construction and interior finishing available from Luxart Homes. “We’re offering really competitive pricing and a nice product,” Wagorn stressed. Luxart Homes’ model home is located at 107 William Hay Drive, and is open Saturdays and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., or anytime by appointment.

Celebrating 200 years of community at Full Circle Theatre The first thing BarnDoor Productions’ producing director David Jacklin saw, in 1983, when he stepped off the bus in Perth for the first time was the faded paint on the wall at 56 Gore Street East, announcing the offices of Thomas Radenhurst, Barrister. The bus had actually stopped directly in front of the building where three of the characters in his new play, The Last Deadman, had worked. Produced that summer, The Last Deadman was the first production for Perth Summer Theatre, Perth’s first professional summer theatre, which ran through 1992 when Jacklin and his now-wife Janice, who had been in the cast of that 1983 production, created BarnDoor Productions, Perth’s original community theatre. BarnDoor Productions is now bringing The Last Deadman back to the stage, as the first show in their special summer series celebrating the 200th anniversary of the community. The Last Deadman is a drama with music that looks at Perth’s legendary 1833 duel. That duel involved a group of impressionable young people from the town, who got caught up in the rivalries of their elders and were not able to stop until someone was killed. In itself, a tragic event, but it is the long-term result of the duel that caught the eye of the playwright.

The duel’s survivor, John Wilson, defended himself so strongly against a charge of murder that the judge in the case congratulated him. He went on to be a judge himself, earning the nickname “Honest John.” Eventually he entered politics, being one of the founders of the forerunner of today’s Liberal Party and, when their policies were not radical enough for him, he helped to found the Ultra-Reform Party. One of the persistent legends about Wilson is that, on June 13, the anniversary of the duel, he would shut himself in his study and sit in the dark, thinking about the event. It is that legend that inspired The Last Deadman: the thought of what ideas might occur to this “ultra-reformer” when left to himself. The play was a hit when produced in 1983 in a leaky tent, on the banks of the Tay River, just inside the gates of Last Duel Park. It was a hit, again, when revived for the 25th anniversary of the play (the 175th anniversary of the duel) in 2008, as well as having a number of productions over the years outside of Perth. Now, the show is being presented at BarnDoor’s Full Circle Theatre on the other side of Last Duel Park, with the grave of the duel’s victim visible through the theatre’s windows. The theatre company really has come “full circle” and the location adds

a touch of importance to the production, which is being performed by a cast of local young people. The oldest actual participant in the duel was 23; it was very much a case of youthful rashness gone to extreme. The employers of the young men involved, Thomas Radenhurst and James Boulton, challenged each other to yearly duels, without anyone ever being hurt. Their apprentices didn’t understand. While a drama, The Last Deadman is fast-paced, full of music and with plenty of humour as well. The show is a multi-media production, using video projection and sound to add extra layers to the play’s impact. Combined with the high-energy performances of its young cast, it’s a powerful production. BarnDoor Productions (BDP) is following up with The Great Perth Temperance Soiree in July, an original show by Perth author Janet Coward, that traces the rise and fall of Perth’s Temperance movement in the 1800s, as told entirely through excerpts from the pages of the Perth Courier, starting with the first issues in 1834. Billed as “an evening of harmony, comedy and sobriety”, The Great Perth Temperance Soiree is full of humour, music and fun, as well as being very informative. Then BDP brings back on of the biggest hits that Perth Summer Theatre had. Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oli-

ver’s Landing runs in August and it is a “musical chiller” about murder and mayhem in Rideau Ferry in the early days of the settlement. The largely true story is presented as a full-on- Broadwaystyle musical and it has been called “grim, clever, funny and thrilling, indeed!” by critics. It’s a show that will stay with you for a long time. In the fall, the venue shifts, as BDP has reached an agreement with the Perth Community Choir to take over the production of the fourth show in the series. This one is something completely different and it’s all about a

small town – but definitely not Perth. Death & Taxes, The Musical is a toe-tapping, hands-clapping old-fashioned kind of musical for all ages. There’s laughter and musical and great fun for everyone as the PCC add their voices to the celebration of community. The Last Deadman runs June 10, 11, 16, 17, 18 at 8 p.m.; June 12 and 19 at 2 p.m. at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street.

Quickie in Smiths Falls strengthens partnership with Community Home Support – Lanark County I met with Dave Cook, regional manager who has been with Quickie for more than 20 years. He introduced me to Jenn Ashe a dealer with this store for 11 years. We presented Dave and Jenn with a certificate of appreciation from our agency, Community Home Support – Lanark County. They have donated thousands of dollars over the past few years to our agency alone. They also donate to Big Brother Big Sisters of Lanark County, Community Living Smiths Falls and Lanark County, Smiths Falls Minor Hockey, Rotary Club, MS Society, Alzheimer Society of Lanark County and many more.

The Quickie Convenience Store at Elmsley and Beckwith Streets in Smiths Falls has been a fixture in this community for more than 20 years. This is a local store, staffed by local people providing a one-stop shop experience which includes gas,

milk, bread, treats, and lottery tickets. Quickie has been supporting many charities in our community the entire time it has sat at the top of Beckwith Street through Nevada ticket sales. Many of you may purchase these tickets and not really know they are a significant fundraiser in and around our area.

Recently a customer came in to the store that had locked her keys in the car. Jenn called someone to help her and gave her a cup of coffee while she waited. The customer called Jenn back and said how grateful she was for Jenn’s kindness. Dave told me though he only gets to the store once a week he has also makes a connection with clients. He was once invited to a senior’s home to look at his memorabilia. I asked them what they think is the key to their success? They said it

PayByPhone now at your local conservation area Rideau Valley Conservation Authority’s (RVCA) new PayByPhone service is going to make visits to local conservation areas easier. Cash payment is no longer required. Complicated pay stations are not an issue. As long as you have a phone or computer, you are covered. “Paying at our remote conservation areas has always caused challenges,” says Kristy Giles, RVCA conservation lands manager. “By using this PayByPhone service, it allows visitors to pay online through their phone or from their home computer, making it exceptionally convenient and reliable.” Visitors can virtually buy day passes or even an annual pass from their home computer before they hit the road by visiting the paybyphone. com website or they can use a free app on their smart phone and do it at the site. The service allows two vehicles to be registered to an account, allowing families more flexibility in what vehicle they take on any given day. “It’s simple, easy and safe (secure),” say Giles, noting that this application

is being used internationally by big cities to help efficiently manage parking, tolls and entry fees. Giles is excited to see public uptake and reaction; although she is quick to see the humour in how this high-tech solution come to the aid of a low-tech outdoor experience. The PayByPhone service will be available at all user pay conservation areas, which include Baxter, Foley Mountain, Rideau Ferry, W.A. Taylor and Perth Wildlife Reserve. Visitors can sign up for a free account at www. paybyphone.com. Once registered, customers can simply use the mobile app, the internet, or a mobile phone to pay for parking. RVCA will be launching this payment option for the summer opening of its conservation areas on the May long weekend. RVCA will continue with traditional payment options at some locations, but hopes to make the switch to full PayByPhone use in the next 16 months.

Dash-mounted cameras may have more than one use We’ve all chuckled at and been amazed by some of the videos that drivers have posted online courtesy of dash-mounted cameras. But other than entertainment purposes, are there any reasons to have such a device on board? They can be a valuable tool when it comes to collisions, especially when dealing with potential traffic fines or insurance settlements or worse yet insurance fraud. I had a chance recently to try out one of the most advanced units on the market: Swann’s Navigator HD 1080 pixel dash camera. This unit retails for about $200 and is available from most electronic storefront and online retailers. It’s small but produces very clear and crisp pictures, even in low light and captures much of the view ahead thanks to a 140-degree lens. A big added benefit is a colour 2” monitor on the rear of the camera that takes all the guess work out of what you’re recording and if the camera is properly aimed. It also records audio. This unit takes a micro SD memory card (not included) and a 16 GB option will give you more than 10 hours of recording time. Most electronic stores sell these cards in packages that come with the necessary adapters to plug them into your laptop or desktop PC. If the card becomes full, the camera will simply begin overwriting the existing files. But if built-in g-force sensors detect severe accelera-

tion or braking, the camera will lock those files preventing them from being overwritten. The footage also includes time, date, and location stamps providing a complete record of travel events. Set up is quite easy thanks to a one-cord system and included vehicle power-point adapter. The unit comes on automatically when the vehicle is started and shuts down 10 seconds after the ignition is turned off. A secure suction cup holds it to the windshield and the suggested mounting point near the rearview mirror mount keeps it from being a distraction. Tips of the week New Ontario safety standards coming into effect this summer will strictly limit the type of window tinting you can have on your car. This particular rule won’t retroactively affect vehicles already tinted because of the difficulty and expense of removing that film (it will affect vehicles built after Jan. 1, 2017). But if you’ve just bought a used vehicle with distracting or damaged tint and you want to tackle removing it yourself, try steaming it off. A hand held clothes or cleaning steamer directed at the inside of the glass can weaken the bond between the film and the glass allowing it to be peeled off without tearing. This one came courtesy of a thoughtful reader. “I enjoyed your article about taking

One thing that I would do (to become familiar with new features and technology) is download the PDF manual for the particular car I was buying weeks before I took delivery and read it thoroughly.

Explore the great outdoors and quilts in the garden June 18 Picture a beautiful Saturday in the quaint village of Richmond, during the month of June…blue skies, friendly faces, flowers, sunshine, gentle breezes, gardens. How could you possibly improve upon that? Quilts in the Garden, that’s how! Mark June 18 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on your calendar for a ‘must-do’ visit to the village and be prepared to step back in time! This quilt show and sale usually features well over 100 beautiful quilts and handmade items on display. These treasures have been lovingly created from those who are connected in some way to The Country Quilter of Richmond. This is the 14th year of the Quilts in the Garden event, which began back in 2002 and featured just 20 quilts for display. The inspiration behind this show is Ann McLean, owner of The Country Quilter of Richmond. Walk into her cozy, country store on any given day, feel the welcome, the warmth, and witness the magic. Here, ongoing classes are available in embroidery, knitting, machine piecing, long arm quilting and traditional hand-quilting, for beginners or veterans alike.

The grounds of The Country Quilter in Richmond will be filled with more than 100 quilts and handmade items June 18 for the annual Quilts in the Garden showcase. Also included in the day will be a used book sale fundraiser for CANHAVE, a registered charity that sends HIV/AIDS-affected orphans from Uganda to school. their skills, or monthly to make comfort quilts for local shelters, or maybe fidget quilts for Alzheimer patients. All classes feature the newest fabrics, richest colours and latest techniques, as well as competent, knowledgeable, passionate instructors. However, it is the warmth,

friendship, laughter and support of The Country Quilter that is most evident. And McLean is the heart and soul of this. There is no charge to the Quilts in the Garden event on June 18, which also features local work from an artist-in-residence couple, Carol and Pete Mar-

shall from Manotick (aka The Quilting Couple). JC’s Mobile Sharpening Service will be on hand from 10 a.m. until noon, to sharpen your scissors, rotary cutters, knives or lawn care tools, for minimal cost. Something else near and dear to McLean is a used book sale fundraiser for CANHAVE. This is a registered charity that sends HIV/AIDS-affected orphans from Uganda to school. Last year, enough money was raised from the book sale to send two children to school in Uganda, for one year. There will also be a quilt raffle to support CANHAVE, as well as an impressive doll display and sale from All Dolled Up. Complimentary Bridgehead coffee, courtesy of CC’s Corner in Richmond, will be available right in the garden, and the lovely ladies of St. Paul’s United Church next door, will be serving up a delicious lunch for $10. It promises to be an inspiring and uplifting day. Please join us in the gardens of The Country Quilter, 3444 McBean Street, in the village Richmond. Directions can be found on our website: https://thecountryquilter.ca/ or call 613-838-5541 for information.

Regional Heritage Fair marks dark moments, celebrates family heroes

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Grace Thompson will never forget what Canada’s First Nations endured during the Residential Schools era. The Grade 7 student at Lombardy Public School had one of the more contemporary and yet ancient displays at the Regional Heritage Fair at the Royal Canadian Legion in Perth on Friday, May 20. It is a story that, in many ways, is as old as Canada itself – and yet the repercussions of the schools, the last of which closed in 1996, are still being felt. “I thought that they happened a long time ago,” admitted Thompson, who later won a special First Nations commendation award at the fair’s awards ceremony at the Studio Theatre. But instead, she found out that “it’s a very current topic…because of the apologies,” and because many survivors are still alive. “It started a long time ago,” she explained. “I knew that they were really bad.” What surprised her was the “number of people” affected by these schools, where First Nations children were separated from their parents, forbidden to speak their native languages, were robbed of their heritage and ways of life and instead taught “western” ways. Before she began digging into her research, she knew a bit about the subject, from what she had gleaned on the news. “I know that they would hurt people, but I didn’t suspect some of the other ones (stories),” she said. One such story that turned her stomach was that the food served at the schools had “no nutritional value,” and that, in some schools, there were maggots in

the porridge. She said she can see why there continues to be repercussions from this dark episode in Canadian history even today. Before she began, “people were saying, ‘It is a tough project to mark or judge or do,’” she said. Family ties Other displays were less sombre, but did show that our history can be closer at hand than we think, and a celebrity may be in your midst, and you may not even know it. Like many boys, St. John Catholic Elementary School student Matt Niceliu is proud of his father, Stacey Niceliu, who works at the OPP’s eastern regional detachment headquarters just outside of Smiths Falls, but whose back story may surprise you. He was born in Winona, Ont., in 1966, and was scouted to try out for the Hamilton Tiger Cats in the Canadian Football League (CFL), having played high school football. He later joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1982, being dispatched to the Argyll and Southerland Highlanders, based in Hamilton, Ont. He would later go on to play a bit part in the comedy Police Academy III: Back in Training, which came out in 1986, as well as The Return of Billy Jake, also released in 1986. He played a bodyguard in the latter movie and a police officer in the former, so it is no surprise, considering his history in uniform that he would go on to join the OPP. “Most people were expected to do hockey, (like) Sidney Crosby and Wayne Gretzky,” said Matt. “I was going to do the Canadian military.

thought it would be good for props.” As for his father, “I didn’t know a lot about him,” but he soon discovered his budding military, acting, and sporting careers. While Stacey never put on the Tiger

Cats jersey, Kacie Rintoul certainly showed off her white-and-blue colours in her Perth Blue Wings jersey at her display of the hometown heroes. “It’s interesting that Perth owned our hockey team,” she said of the

community ownership structure of the team, up until the time that businessman Michael McLean bought the team in 2013. “They used to play outside on the Tay Canal.”

PROTECT YOURSELF: LOCK VEHICLES AND HOMES

It doesn’t take long for thieves to steal items from your vehicle or home if you give them the chance. Don’t make it easy! Here are some ways you can protect yourself: Vehicles: • Always roll up your vehicle’s windows, lock the doors and pocket the key. • If you have a garage, use it. Lock the garage and the vehicle. • Keep your vehicle registration certificate and proof of insurance with you. • Park in a well-lit area. • Give only your ignition key to a parking lot attendant. Keep other keys with you. • Never leave your vehicle unattended while it’s running. • Never leave your keys in plain view. • Put valuables or packages out of sight in the trunk. • Never leave your garage door opener on the visor. It facilitates entry to your home. LOCK IT OR LOSE IT! A professional can steal a car in 30 seconds. Homes: • Watch for suspicious people or activity in your neighbourhood. • If you are going away, ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on things. Don’t announce your absence on social media. Keep the grass cut or driveway shovelled. Do not let newspapers or mail accumulate. • Deter potential criminals with outside lights and motion sensor lighting. • Lock all doors and windows every time you go out. Install good locks and a deadbolt on each outside door. • Store bicycles in garages and sheds. • Keep all valuables in the home in secure locations.

Highway 7’s Collision Corner might not be as deadly as believed say OPP stats Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Highway 7’s collision corner may not be as deadly as drivers believe. Following a trawl of OPP statistics for the intersection of Highway 7 and Drummond Street West, following years of complaints by citizens and town council, OPP Insp. Derek Needham said that the final report found that there were “not as many collisions as I had thought,” he said, during a presentation to the Perth Police Services Board meeting on Thursday, May 26. “I actually thought there would be more in a year.”

The data, compiled by OPP Cons. Sean Trahan, reviewed collision data at the intersection of Highway 7 and Drummond Street West in Perth, during the period of Jan. 1, 2011 to Dec. 31, 2015. The data was culled not only from the OPP database, but from the old Perth Police Service (PPS) database as well – which led to an interesting finding. During the five-year period under review, there were 31 collisions investigated. Broken down by year, they were: 2011: Four collisions; 2012: One collision;

2013: Five collisions; 2014: 10 collisions; and, 2015: 11 collisions. The report also found that 32 per cent of the collisions resulted in personal injuries. Needham surmised that the sudden jump in 2013, and the doubling in the number of collisions from 2013 to 2014 was not because the intersection became suddenly more dangerous, but, it may have been that the old PPS “entered their data differently,” said Needham. Trahan’s report also mentioned that “it is believed that prior to amalgamation (in 2013), Perth police

may have entered their data differently than the Ontario Provincial Police. This may account for the dramatic increase from the 2011-2013 period when compared to 2014-2015.” Of the 31 collisions, Needham did agree that “people turning left, one way or the other…they appear to be the majority of the collisions.” The PSB had hoped that the OPP’s report would bolster the town’s ongoing request to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) for improvements to the intersection, including a possible turning lane for eastbound traffic and/or an advance green.

“There is not enough here for MTO to jump on it,” said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell. “They (the numbers) are low.” The town’s chief administrative officer, John deRosenroll, said that the MTO was looking at design options for Highway 7 in Perth, but “it may be 10 to 15 years before it is constructed.” In fact, rather than advanced green lights or turning lanes, deRosenroll said that the MTO “is moving towards a turning circle, like you would see in Kemptville,” said deRosenroll of the commonly-known traffic circles, “which would keep traffic moving.”

SPRING FIRE SAFETY TIPS FROM THE PERTH FIRE DEPARTMENT: The Perth Fire Department reminds you of these important spring fire safety tips: ➢ Check with your local Fire Department or municipality for open burning and camp fire regulations. Permits are required for regulated camp fires in town. ➢ BBQ’s: Before lighting up, check for nests, check rubber gas hoses for rips and tears. Use a soap and water mixture to check for leaks of all connections. Stay with your BBQ when it is lit and keep away from vinyl or wood siding, railings, hydro and gas meters. ➢ Spring is a good time to vacuum out your dryer vent and in around the screen. Pull your fridge out from the wall and vacuum around the compressor area. Have a qualified HVAC contractor check and clean your central air conditioners before turning them on for the summer. Use heavy duty extension cords rated for window type air conditioners. ➢ Smoke detectors are required on all levels of your home. Carbon Monoxide detectors are required outside all of your sleeping areas. ➢ Fireworks must be used in a safe manner. Some municipalities have bylaws on fireworks, so check that out. Fireworks are not permitted to be set off in town. ➢ Make sure your house number is legible for emergency responders. Call the Perth Fire Department at 613-267-5574 for more information.

Perth Brewery celebrates expansion Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Nothing says summer like beer and renovations. Well, the Perth Brewery is done the renovations part, and, as is fitting, they’re always up for a beer. “We have made some significant changes around here,” said co-owner Jeremy Steeves of his Highway 7 facility’s expansion, which will celebrated in fine style this Saturday, June 4. It’s a chance to “celebrate what we are doing here… (It’s) quite a cool little brewery.” The celebration will run from noon to 5 p.m., featuring food, the music of the Riq Turner Band, and the running of the taps, so to speak, with complimentary beverages. The town crier, Brent McLaren, will also be on hand, and there will be a book signing by local author Larry Cotton, who will be selling and signing copies of his book, Whiskey and Wickedness. The brewery had increased in size to 12,000 square feet, having already expanded twice in six years. Their fermentation capacity has “greatly improved,” to 250 hecta-litres or 25,000 litres of fermentation space.

Not surprisingly for a major renovation, the price tag sits north of the million dollar mark. And they’re not done yet. “We are at maximum capacity,” said Steeves during a telephone interview on Monday, May 30, meaning that, even with all of this new space being already accounted for, and already pumping out 1,800 litres of the amber liquid per day, they will do a re-evaluation this fall consider further expansion. The retail space now boasts a 25 foot granite tasting bar. “It’s an experience,” he said, with obvious awe. “We want people to come in and hang out and talk…When you can get a back story, it increases the appreciation.” Beer drinkers can already appreciate selections from the brewery’s 15 different styles at select Beer Store and LCBO locations. But, because it’s 2016, to borrow and turn a phrase, there is a new addition to the stable – “Off Kilt-er” beer, a celebration of both Perth’s 200 anniversary, and its strong Scottish roots. Steeves describes it as an “80 shilling-style beer,” which was commonly consumed in the 1800s, a 4.3 per cent session ale.

St. John’s Relay for Life raises $54,500 for the cause in its 15th year Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

St. John Catholic High School’s Relay for Life took place Friday, May 27 at the high school in Perth raising another stellar amount - $54,500, with a few pledges

still coming in. That breaks last year’s total by $3,500, inflating their 15-year total to $682,500. “Relay is magical regardless of what time of day we are running the event,” said David Peters, who is a long-time teacher/organizer of the St. John CHS event.

“It made the most sense to move to an 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. event to embrace the Catholic Education Coalition participation. There are certainly pros and cons to both the daytime event, and the overnight event, but this was a nice mix of both. Our support from our student body and school community was

amazing, and I believe this would be the case whenever we decided to run it… it’s what we do here at St. John.” There were 289 participants this year with 15 survivors and 950 elementary school students taking part as well. This year marked the school’s 15th year as more than $625,000 has been raised since they started. This year, students from the Catholic School Board of Eastern Ontario’s elementary schools in the area also took part – at one point there were more than 1,100 students running the track at the high school. In an emotional tribute to the survivors who joined in on the event, a memorial stone was placed in the garden on the west side of the school. The relay participants then greeted those survivors who made their way to the track for their lap. For Smiths Falls Gene Clarke, it’s a meaningful time with his grandchildren also taking part. “It’s the one time when I cry,” he said, as he gave his grandson Aiden a hug. “It’s a very meaningful event for me.” First time participant is Peter Whitehead, who some may recognize on the hard court. This long-time basketball referee found out about a year ago he had prostate cancer. “It could have been a death sentence years ago,” Whitehead said, who continued with referring while having chemotherapy. “Now there is hope.”

Connected to your community

Taking it all in

had the pleasure recently of attending another aerobic/ acrobatic gymnastics competition with Girlchild. It is awesome to watch her and her teammates perform after they have worked so hard all year. As the Family Athlete, Girlchild has introduced us to a lot of new things, such as the intricacies of out-of-town competitions. I learn a lot from these things – and not just about required elements and scoring and so on. There’s lots of peripheral stuff, too. One thing, for example, is that some venues have very hard benches. I knew that from last year, and even though it was the same place it seemed better this year. This could mean one of several things: 1. I’ve lowered my expectations for comfort. 2. I’ve gained some flab in the posterior that may be serving as extra padding. 3. Karate has helped to build focus and endurance so I just don’t notice these things. (I prefer to think it’s that last one, with a bit of the first one thrown in.) Next year I might just bring a cushion. Problem solved! (Genius. Right here.) Another thing we learned – or maybe I should say we were reminded of – is that everyone and their grandma has a camera at kids’ competitions, so you should be super aware of who is recording things around you before you speak. If, for instance, the music with a particular routine makes you want to run screaming from the building, you should probably use your inside voice. In case you slip up on that, however, make sure you have a backup team. In this case I was the spotter who noticed the situation and raised the alarm with wide eyes and gestures. Another parent then provided an alias – so the video recorder will think some woman from a different town was reviewing the music. Adulting is hard. We also learned there may be practical domestic applications for some of the moves the athletes are performing. (“Oh, I do that every day while cleaning,” we chortle.) For example, there’s a move that reminds me of plank, but is more complicated and involves swinging a leg around to the front. I think it may be called a Wenson? Anyway, we think would be helpful during vacuuming, especially to get things from under the couch. Then there’s that whole frontwalkover-into-the-splits thing

Past Deadline

Stephanie Gray

(which makes all the guys in the audience groan a little). Put some Swiffer dusters on your feet and do that move and you’d be able to clean up the hardwood floor with flair! Also, now that I’ve got about 10 months of karate under my belt (the yellow one!), I’m also picking up on some similarities between it and some gymnastics I observed. The stances are a perfect example. The senseis keep telling us that proper stances are important for many reasons, including balance and power. It should come as no surprise, then, to frequently see zenkutsu dachi (the front stance), kokutsu dachi (back stance) and kiba dachi (horse-riding stance) in play as the acrobatic gymnasts hoist one another high overhead and do lots of flippy-doodle thingies. Balance and power. Some of the arm movements, too, look familiar. There aren’t a lot of punches or “karate chops,” but I do see the hands being brought together at the hips (koshi gamae) as a precursor to various movements. I guess that means that if I stick with karate long enough, I might be able to transition into acrobatic gymnastics? Maybe with proper stances I could be a hoister and flinger – I’m still not super keen on being flung. Another thing I learned is that I have a mighty fine denial mechanism (not to mention an active imagination – see above re: acrobat), and this relates to the temperature in the venue. Hot air, as you may know, rises. We definitely found that to be the case as we watched the competition on what was a very hot, muggy day. In fact, after a while, the air became more like soup. Maybe that whole “focus and endurance” thing kicked in because I just kept telling myself to think about how cold I was in the winter. “Sit still. Drink water. Only four more hours. It’s not hot.” Fortunately, I didn’t have to perform any acrobatic gymnastics or karate in the stands. Phew. Congrats to all the athletes!

Living with the realities of Today

eaders who know my husband, Desmond Devoy, know his most prized possession is his scrapbook filled with newspaper banners. Since he was a young boy looking through international newspapers his father brought home from Pearson Airport in Toronto, my husband has delighted in the artistry and message that the top portion of the front page gives its readers. I’ve enjoyed looking through the pages on occasion, but I would never tell hubby that – it just gets him going on an hour-long talk about the history of each one. If you are stealth like me and have a chance to glimpse the scrapbook pages you will see cities such as New York, Paris, Dublin and Toronto represented, but the clipping that makes me most proud is of a monthly business paper called Business Today. Anyone who shops at a grocery store in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville may have seen it sitting in the newspaper stand. I remember the first time I saw it – the first time I walked into the office at 65 Lorne St. in June 2002. The position of reporter for Busi-

STACEY ROY For the Record ness Today was why I was hired at Performance Printing at the time. I was so excited to be part of a start-up, and for something so important as business no less! I remember our editor, Ryland Coyne taking me on a tour of the building that first day and then sitting me down at my desk beside his office with two assignments to be done before I left that day. The rush of names and faces made me dizzy, as I sat there, bag on desk wondering how one reports on housing statistics when Ryland popped his head out of the office to give me a big smile and a “welcome” before retreating back behind the door frame. Those were exciting days where I had the unique opportunity to travel the tri-county area and become familiar with the places and the movers and shakers. Over the five years I worked

as Business Today’s sole reporter I can recall many key interviews from the rise of downtowns undergoing revitalization projects to the fall of manufacturing. At the time, I was writing a lot about a new concept known as broadband. I have to chuckle now remembering how I wrote a paragraph explaining the concept of broadband to my readers and how it would revolutionize the way business was done. Even in those early days people could see the implications for small and home-based business, which has since borne fruit. We have seen the creation of business incubators in Brockville and Smiths Falls and welcomed many small business success stories as a result. No matter what the headline, Business Today was there since 2002 to share the news with everyone across the counties. The paper lost its full-time reporter in 2006, but continued on with teamwork from all my colleagues until this year. I really feel the strength of the newspaper was in its ability to connect businesses from Pakenham to Gananoque and share those best practices across geographic

Two hundred years later, war veteran gets dedication More than 200 years after serving, a war veteran will finally be honoured. Captain Joshua Adam, Leeds Militia 2nd regiment, had an active war record on the St. Lawrence front, and later was a half-pay officer in Perth, where he built one of the first inns in 1817. In 1821, he moved with his family to present-day Glen Tay, establishing a major industrial complex there. He was a leader in the wider community in business, the church and politics. To honour his service to both the military and to his community, Tay Valley Township will be hosting a ceremony at the Old Methodist Cemetery on Robinson Street in Perth on Sunday, June 5 at 2:30 p.m. They will place an 1812 War Veteran Marker on his grave. While community leaders will be present, so will Adams’ family! They’re coming from Calgary, Colorado and California for this event. The ceremony is open to the public, and all are welcome to attend.

It’s taking place on Saturday, June 4 and Saturday, June 11, and will offer a range of Hungry Planet favourites, including Pad Thai, The Big Salad, and Border Farm Burger, among others. Here’s the deal: orders must be called in the week prior to each event by leaving a message at 613-326-8593.

The Table’s Housing Outreach Campaign underway You may have heard in the fall that The Table received funds from Lanark County through the Canadian Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI) and wondered why a Community Food Centre would get housing related funding. The answer is both shorter and simpler than you might expect: people who are challenged by food insecurity usually have issues with housing insecurity as well, because the roots of both are insufficient incomes that can trap people in a cycle of poverty. The Table’s peer advocates spend over half of their time assisting people with housing and homelessness related issues. Because of this, we decided to respond to the county’s request for proposals for CHPI funded projects, hoping to do more work supporting members of our community facing housing challenges. We wanted to work with our neighbours and hear from them directly to identify common concerns across the county and what needs to be done to address them. The volunteers in The Table’s Community Action Network (CAN) are taking the lead on this initiative. CAN seeks to empower people living in poverty and their allies,

through collective organizing and action. This recent project began in January of 2016 and the volunteers have been busy. In the first five months of the 15-month project, the team of ten community members has met 17 times and done two day-long training and planning sessions. On May 10, the group presented to the Lanark County Housing Coalition and shared their work to date, their future plans, and talked about the process of working collectively and collaboratively to make change in the community. It was the first public presentation for the group and the release of their official mission statement which reads: “We are a practical, local community group playing a part in the 20,000 Homes campaign in Lanark County. We act on housing insecurity issues to help create dignified solutions for local residents. Our team will do this through outreach, surveys, interviews, needs assessments, and community forums. We seek to engage a county wide group of those most affected to take action for needed change.” The next steps in this ambitious project

will be getting feedback on the finalized survey questions, recruiting participants, and then going out into the county door to door to talk with impacted community members. The volunteers will gather information with the survey over the summer and community forums will be scheduled throughout the fall in at least five different areas of the County to enable residents to get together and discuss what can be done. For more information about the Table’s Housing Outreach Campaign contact CAN (through the Peer Advocacy Office at the Table) at advocacy@thetablecfc.org or 613267-6428 x29. To get involved, or to refer someone who you think would be interested in participating in the survey, please contact Beth Schilling, the Advocacy & Volunteer Coordinator at beth@thetablecfc.org or 613267-6428 x4.

Many newspapers have retired their print editions in favour of online and now news formats, including notable labels such as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in the United States and the UK’s Independent which announced

in February that it will be going on-line only. I’m proud of my time with Business Today and its place as the only business-specific newspaper that covers the tri-county area.

Seniors housing project gets off the ground in Perth A group of adventurous people mainly seniors - is inviting readers to learn about an innovative life-style and housing option they are developing in Perth. It is called “cohousing”, a term which requires explanation: cohousing differs from retirement centres in a very big way; the “co” of cohousing refers to a housing community which is established, designed, owned and managed by the people who live there. And the “co” also reflects a prevailing value in a cohousing community of interested, creative and supportive relationships with others in the community. Typically a cohousing community includes not only private selfcontained townhouses or apartments, but also generous common spaces in which residents can enjoy occasional common meals, activities, and surrounding outdoor areas and gardens. A further cohousing characteristic is attention to energy conservation and sustainable practices in the design and ongoing management of the community. A first meeting exploring the cohousing concept was held nearly a year ago and right away it was clear that here were people looking to the future, to their senior years and wanting a dynamic and purposeful life – creative, caring, connected and independent for as long as possible. Since that first

meeting, the Perth Cohousing Initiative has met every two weeks (with on average 20 people attending) for a potluck dinner, for getting to know each other and for enjoying challenging discussions and decisions. Visitors are welcomed at every meeting. In Canada, there are 13 cohousing communities, mostly in B.C. and Alberta and one – Terra Firma – in Ottawa. Established in Denmark in the late 1960s, the idea was introduced in North America 20 years later by architects Charles Durrett and Kathryn McCamant. There are now hundreds of communities in Scandinavia and northern Europe and more than 150 in the U.S., with 130 or more in development. This is a tried and true model well suited to the needs of our evolving society. In Perth, the group is enjoying and working towards the development of a cohousing community within walking distance of downtown Perth. You are invited to an Information Evening, Thursday, June 9 at 7 p.m. to learn more about this project and to meet the people who are already working to make it happen. Location: McMartin House, 125 Gore St., Perth. For further information, please contact Susan Samila 613-264-1196 or Louise McDiarmid 613-264-8590. Submitted by Perth Cohousing Initiative

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell says carding issues will help all in time Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The chair of the Perth Police Services Board said he is concerned that new carding practices will “tie the hands of police.” Speaking at the board meeting on Thursday, May 26, town Coun. Jim Graff admitted that “this may not be politically correct,” but “my concern as far as this program is concerned,” regarding the oversight of “carding” is that “there are folks (involved in the oversight) that will tie the hands of police.” He hoped that this oversight body “does not restrict the police from doing their business.”

Graff’s comments came as he reported on his attendance at the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards (OAPSB) meeting in Niagara Falls. However, fellow board member John Clement said he felt that “there were so many ways that either person (the police officer or the person being stopped) could wiggle out,” said Clement, of the guidelines he has read. However, Deputy Mayor John Gemmell said that, as a former police officer himself, “it’s going to take a while to flush it out,” and that many people are resistant to change, at first. “Those (carding) rules are there to help

us. At least you will know what to do the next time you’re stopped.” Some of the largest complaints against carding come from people of colour, including writer Desmond Cole, who wrote a May 2015 Toronto Life cover story that he had been stopped and interrogated by police at least 50 times just because he is black. Interestingly, at a conference where one of the hot topics was carding, the keynote speaker in Niagara Falls was a well-known person of colour – former Toronto Argonaut Michael “Pinball” Clemons, who played 12 seasons in the Canadian Football League

and served twice as Argos’ coach. “We’ve all heard (the stereotype) that football players are dumb,” said Graff. Having heard Clemons speak, he called him “one of the smartest people I have ever heard. He was the most effective speaker I have ever heard.” He commended Clemons not only for his presentation style – having the audience laughing one minute, and then, the next “you could hear a pin drop,” as the subject matter got heavy. Clemons’ main message, as Graff heard it, was that in times of conflict, “you have to understand where he (your opponent) is coming from. How else are you going to change his mind?” said Graff. “It was a good learning experience.”

‘Flexibility’ urged for implementation of new cycling, skateboarding sign enforcement Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth’s chief administrative officer is going to great pains to stress that downtown’s no cycling and no skateboarding decals will not result in a flurry of five-year-olds getting tickets affixed to their tricycles. “We want to be the kind, caring community,” said John deRosenroll during a debate at the Perth police services board meeting on May 26, on the new decals which will soon be affixed to signs downtown. He urged by-

law enforcement officers to indulge in dialogue and education. “The commissionaires are working on public education and are out there seven days a week,” said deRosenroll. “Someone would have to be a tremendous scofflaw to be issued a ticket,” he added. When presented with a scenario from that very day, where a mother was cycling downtown on her bike, on the sidewalk, while her child cycled behind her, Deputy Mayor John Gemmell clarified that “the bylaw guy should talk to her (the mother),” he said. He also added that “people with disabilities are exempt” on their motor scooters, for ex-

ample. However, if someone is breaking the bylaw, which says that skateboards are not allowed and bicycles must be walked on downtown sidewalks, “you have to see ‘em and stop ‘em.” Board member John Clement however gave voice to the countless businesses and pedestrians who have encountered cyclists and skateboarders who care little for their safety or well-being. “It’s always been a problem, for years,” said Clement, the former head of the downtown business improvement area. “This has been going on for 25 years and nothing has

during the May 26 meeting, held in the Perth town council chambers. “It’s a little bit rowdy as far as traffic is concerned, (especially) at noon hour and three in the afternoon.” OPP Insp. Derek Needham, detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, agreed to take action. “Let’s put the speed spy in,” he said. “I’ll put it up for a couple of days,” and then he will report back to the Perth PSB later in June. Stephanie Gray, chair of the Lanark County Situation Table, said that she too has noticed motorists coming across Drummond Street “and they accelerate onto that block” between Drummond and Gore. “A lot of it is acceleration and volume,” said Needham.

Is the stretch of D’Arcy Street between Victoria Street and Gore Street West becoming a “race track”? It may not quite be Perth’s answer to “Thunder Road,” the famous impromptu racing strip in the 1978 movie Grease (or any of the various, illegal street racing venues in the countless Fast and the Furious movies) but it’s still a cause for concern nonetheless to area residents. Perth Police Services Board (PSB) member John Clement brought the concerns of one resident to a recent meeting of the PSB. The resident charged that high school students attending nearby Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) at 13 Victoria St., were the main culprits. “He is quite concerned,” said Clement Native cigarettes

The historic sexual assault case against William “Bill” McNicol will be in Perth’s assignment court at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, June 7 to set a trial date. The case was last before the Perth court on Friday, May 20, for a judicial pre-trial hearing. The case is covered by a publication ban, and the allegations have not been proven in court. In June of 2015, the three original charges against McNicol, of Tay Valley Township, were dropped, and replaced with six charges: • Two counts of sexual assault;

• Two counts of sexual touching with a person under the age of 14; • Invitation to sexual touching with a person under the age of 14; and • Being in a position of trust or authority towards a young person did, for a sexual purpose, sexually touch the young person’s body.

While by no means a scientific survey of Perth’s entire smoking habits, PSB member Randy Jarbeau informed the board that, as someone who visits a local nursing home on 67 Drummond St. Perth, ON a daily basis, by his count, as many as 95 per cent of staff, and 95 per cent of residents, who smoke, are “all smoking native cigarettes.” The reason for this, he surmised, is that “the price of native cigarettes are less than a regular (carton).” In fact, a bag of 200 cigarettes can sell for as little as $15, he said. “It all comes from the same place around here,” said Jarbeau. “I assume it’s illegal to take them (cigarettes) off of the reservation.” “There are tax reasons,” said Needham. “The Ministry of Finance has the bulk of the enforcement,” when it comes to the sale of native cigarettes.

been done about it.” And once those decals go up - and they have already been ordered by environmental services director Grant Machan – enforcement will begin, said Clement. Coun. Jim Graff, who chaired the meeting in the Perth town council chambers, said that “I hear the same six kids are a major problem, so far as bikes are concerned.”

1. Adult laundering of the proceeds of crime. 2. Adult possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking – cocaine. 3. Adult possession of a Schedule II substance – Cannabis Marijuana – over 30 grams. 4. Adult unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm. 5. Adult unauthorized possession of a firearm. Fillipoff is best known in the area for her ongoing search for her missing daughter Emma, who was last seen alive in British Columbia in 2012.

The Grade 2 children at St. John Elementary received the Sacrament of First Communion on Sunday, May 29. In preparation for this day, they attended a retreat at Camp Merrywood. Students from St. John Catholic High School’s Leadership class led activities throughout the day and the Food class prepared the bread dough and a snack for these students. Some of the activities were bread-making, Scripture-ades, Virtuous Headbands, Pew Markers, Lambs of God, and a scavenger hunt. It was a wonderful day of Catholic education, with meaningful activities for both the high school and elementary school students.

Cohousing Initiative has met every two weeks (with on average 20 people attending) for a potluck dinner, for getting to know each other and for enjoying challenging discussions and decisions. Visitors are welcomed at every meeting. In Canada, there are 13 cohousing communities, mostly in B.C. and Alberta and one – Terra Firma – in Ottawa. Established in Denmark in the late 1960s, the idea was introduced in North America 20 years later by architects Charles Durrett and Kathryn McCamant. There are now hundreds of communities in Scandinavia and northern Europe and more than 150 in the U.S., with 130 or more in development. This is a tried and true model well suited to the needs of our evolving society. In Perth, the group is enjoying and working towards the development of a cohousing community within walking distance of downtown Perth. You are invited to an Information Evening, Thursday, June 9 at 7 p.m. to learn more about this project and to meet the people who are already working to make it happen.

Henderson vaults to fourth in world championship Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

It was a third place finish for Brooke Henderson Sunday at the LPGA Volvik Championship in Ann Arbor, MI, and a US$75,987 payday. Starting Sunday’s final day tied for ninth, the 18-year-old Smiths Falls native had a five-birdie day and one bogey to climb up the leaderboard by six ending with yet another Top 10 finish, her ninth on the LPGA Tour this season and 10th overall. She carded a 4-under 68 and had a four-day total of 279, tying with American Jessica Korda who had an even par 72 on Sunday. With the win, Henderson vaulted to number four on the World Rolex Rankings chart and number six for the CME Ranking. “Yeah, overall it was a solid week,” Henderson said following her round. “It’s always nice to see your name up near the top of the leaderboard and it’s been a few weeks since that hap-

pened for me, so today was definitely a solid day for me. I missed some opportunities, but I also made up for a couple here on the back nine, so overall I’m happy.” She said there are some things she needs to work on in the immediate future. “There’s definitely things I have to work on going into next week. Some silly mistakes early in the week and even today a couple, but overall I’m very happy with how things are going and hopefully just be able to finish it off in the near future.” Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand cruised to an easy victory with a 5-under 67 on Sunday and a 15-under par total of 273 for the tournament – her third straight. Christina Kim of the U.S. took second at 10-under with a one-under 71 in the final round. Her first day was an incredible 8-under 64 that was highlighted by seven birdies and an eagle. Next up on the LPGA tour is the ShopRite LPGA Classic presented by Acer in Galloway, NJ.

Maple Leafs coming to town Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

The Toronto Maple Leafs alumni team is coming to Perth in January. Michael McLean, owner of the Perth Blue Wings, is playing host to his other favourite blue and white team as part of his quest to bring the original six NHL teams to town. “Just signed the contract to bring Wendell Clark and the Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni to Perth in January 2017,” McLean said. Tickets will go on sale in June. “This will be the biggest game in the history of junior hockey in our com-

munity,” he said. “All for charity.” McLean brought the Boston Bruins alumni to town in January, and two years prior, the Montreal Canadiens alumni faced off against the Perth Blue Wings alumni in January, 2014. “This one is big,” McLean told this newspaper. “The alumni game of the century is finally going to be a reality in Perth.” This is as good as it gets, he said. First there was Guy Lafleur (Canadiens), the Raymond Bourque (Boston)… now Wendle Clark and Tiger Williams and other big names… “bleed blue.”

Kudos for local athletes at Special Olympics

Local athletes from Special Olympics Perth and District had great success at the 2016 Provincial Spring Games, which took place May 26 to 28 in Guelph, Ont. Mathew Capello, Cheryl Young and members of our Perth Hoops D level basketball team, completed against athletes from other Special Olympics communities throughout Ontario at the three-day event. Over 1,000 athletes competed in swimming, 5 pin bowling, basketball, rhythmic gymnastics, and power lifting. Almost 500 volunteers helped pull off the event. Capello earned a bronze in the 100 individual medley with a time of 2:17.82. The Provincial Games are becoming a habit for him, having competed in previous games in 2012, where he won four medals. Capello also placed fifth in both the 50 and 100 freestyle swim events. With his good attitude and love of swimming, he has managed to swim very well in every meet he attends. Young of Smiths Falls was chosen to represent the East Division at the Games in 5 pin bowling. She bowled a total of 138 in six games, unfortunately missing the podium this time. Young competed hard and had a great time. The D level Perth Hoops Basketball Team of Justin Poirier, Justin Leeder, Chris Slade, Chris Purdy, Zach Johnstone, Todd Vanalstine, Lora Brunshaw and Andy Kennedy played three games over the weekend and earned bronze medals.

The Smiths Falls Renegades will host Foodball in the Falls June 4 at Lower Reach Park.

Football in the Falls returns June 4 to Lower Reach Park It was only 10 short years ago minor football returned to the Smiths Falls area. To celebrate the Smiths Falls Minor Football Association will once again host their annual “Football in the Falls” festival on the weekend. Saturday, June 4 marks the sixth anniversary of this event, which is highlighted by four back-toback home games played at Lower Reach Park. The day is big one in the Smiths Falls Renegade football community. The games are played in an atmosphere complete with a large tailgate barbecue, draws, sound system and even a guest appearance, before noon, by a very recognizable member of the Ottawa Redblack community. The first kick off of the day will take place at 9 a.m. with three more games to follow. The final kickoff will take place at 2:15. The Smiths Falls Renegade program draws players from the Smiths Falls, Perth and surrounding townships and participates in the Rideau Youth Football League (RYFL). The RYFL provides a place to play for over 600 youth, aged eight to 17 in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville area and has over 20 teams competing in four divisions. Mark Pankow, president of the Smiths Falls program, said he is excited about the day and expects large crowds once again this year. He cites the picturesque venue alongside the Rideau Canal, and the great job that volunteers do to make it an entertaining and festive atmosphere, as being paramount to the day’s success. “Football in the Ottawa and Seaway valley continues to enjoy great popularity. The return of professional

football to Ottawa has also had a positive impact,” stated Pankow. He also noted that significant changes continue to be rolled out in football throughout Canada, provides parents with the confidence that their child’s safety is the most important consideration in a coaches planning. One of the most notable changes that rolled out is the expanded Safe Contact program for coaches. This began several years ago. According to Pankow, coaches within the Renegades program have always had to maintain NCCP and safe contact qualifications, but this new program is much more intensive and deliberate in the approach to teaching contact and using appropriate drills to teach. Football Canada, the governing body of football in the country as well as its provincial counterpart, the OFA, has mandated new coaching standards, alongside the Safe Contact program, to bring all football communities across the country in line with basic credentials. What people see and hear on TV is not amateur footballs reality. “Having played, or watched the sport, no longer qualifies someone to coach the sport. There is too much on the line in terms of player safety,” Pankow said. “The teaching techniques and the drills have all changed dramatically in the past ten years.” Pankow also credits his coaches for the time that they have committed to their personal coaching development.

Rideau Canal system. The main route proceeds from Algonquin College in Ottawa southwest to Stittsville, Ashton, Blacks Corners and on to Tennyson Road to Perth. From Perth this route follows the Christie Lake Road to Westport and then the Perth Road (County Road #10) entering Kingston on Division Street. A second route also begins at Algonquin College and proceeds to the east of the Rideau River to Manotick, Merrickville, Toledo, Elgin and down the Battersea Road entering Kingston on Montreal Road. Approximately half the riders are on each route. There is a third group of riders who start in Perth and take the Scotch Line Road (County Road 10) to the Narrows Lock Road to join with the Battersea Road group at Elgin. Nearly all participants will stay overnight at Queen’s University and return via the same routes on the second day. Please watch for cyclists during this busy weekend event.

Cycle tour to head through Lanark and Leeds Grenville June 11 and 12 The Ottawa Bicycle Club will be holding its annual Rideau Lakes Cycle along the routes through the Rideau Lakes area on June 11 and 12. The event contributes to the enhancement of tourism in the area since many of the participants are from outside the region, such as southern Ontario, Quebec and New York State. And, although many riders are very accomplished cyclists, we also have a large number of family groups ranging in age from eight to 10 all the way to 86 years! “From our perspective the objective is to make residents and road users aware of the fact that a larger than normal number of cyclists will be on these roads on this weekend. We hope this will help readers to understand any delays or congestion that may occur and therefore contribute to the overall safety of our event,” said Ric Pottor, organizer of the event. This year the event, with about 2,000 cyclists, will take place Saturday June 11 (starting from Ottawa to Kingston) and Sunday June 12 (Kingston to Ottawa). There are two routes; one on each side of the

Volunteers needed for Canada Day activities in Ottawa region Canadian Heritage is looking for motivated volunteers who would like to help with the celebrations on July 1 at the three official locations in Canada’s Capital Region: Parliament Hill and Major’s Hill Park in Ottawa and the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. Volunteers will be asked to wel-

come people with special needs, distribute flags, control the crowd, help visitors participate in different activities and provide information, among other things. “Volunteers play a major role in making the Canada Day festivities run smoothly. It is in large part thanks to the dedication, commitment and

good cheer of the volunteers that so many people can join the celebration. Join the team for Canada Day: it’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity to give back to the community and create new bonds in a festive atmosphere,” stated Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage.

Guatemala Stove Project AGM highlights year’s accomplishment and 6,000-stove milestone Saturday, June 5 the Guatemala Stove Project will be holding its 16th Annual General Meeting at McMartin House from 1 to 3 p.m. in Perth. All are welcome to learn about the work that the GSP does and to listen to Samuel, a Mayan mason that builds stoves for the GSP in Guatemala. The GSP is a locally operated nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to helping some of the poorest people in the world – the indigenous Maya people of the western highlands of Guatemala. Like three billion other people on our planet, they cook over open fires inside their simple homes. The indoor air pollution from these cooking fires takes a significant toll on the health and life expectancy of all family members, but hits young children and women the hardest. The main focus of the GSP is to raise funds to build safe, efficient cooking stoves that greatly improve the health and daily living conditions of recipient families. The efficient stoves also reduce families’ wood fuel needs by half. This reduces local deforestation and means that families have more choices in how to use their limited resources. This can often be a key step in breaking the cycle of poverty. In addition to stove building the GSP also arSubmitted photo ranges micro-loans, funds education The Guatemala Stove Project will host their annual general meeting Sunday at McMartin House, Perth, scholarships and provides funding for relief efforts and sustainable develop- from 1 to 3 p.m. where guests will hear about the accomplishments over the past year as well as learn about ment projects in western Guatemala. the milestone 6,000 stoves built for families in Guatemala.

We have just completed our 16th year working with NGOs in Guatemala and have surpassed the 6,000 cook- stove milestone! Every year the GSP organizes a volunteer trip to the western highlands of Guatemala. This trip exposes adventurous travellers to the living conditions of the developing world, giving intimate access and insight into the plight of the poor. Each year the beautiful spirit of the Mayan people enthrals and inspires all who have made the journey and many become ongoing volunteers with the GSP. In fact, volunteers are the fuel of the GSP. They come from all walks of life and backgrounds, and contribute in a variety of ways. When they work together, incredible things happen and many lives are changed! This spring we inaugurated a successful fund raising event, “A Mother of A Dinner”. With local chef Judy Dempsey leading the volunteer team, a delicious meal was prepared and served to 180 appreciative guests. The Perth Lion’s Hall, generously donated for this event by the Perth Lions Club was a perfect setting. Brad Mills’ piano playing provided relaxing ambience and the table settings and centrepieces created a warm, family feeling. To learn more about the project and the work this determined group of volunteers undertake, drop in to McMartin House this Saturday afternoon.
