desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Get your rainbow flags ready for the return of the Perth pride parade this weekend. The parade will muster at The Stewart School on Saturday, June 11, at 3 p.m., and will make its way to the Tay Basin downtown. Festivities will run until 5 p.m., and while there is no official grand master, or mistress of the parade, female impersonators will be given pride of place, so to speak, dressing up as Cher, Bette Midler, and Dolly Parton. The celebrity ladies will later be appearing on stage at the Royal Canadian Legion for the “Gender Illusions” show. Tickets are $20 per person, and the show starts at 7 p.m. “It’s rain or shine,” said Penny Kelly, president of the Lanark County LGBT Civitan Club, during an interview in the Perth council chambers on Tuesday, May 31. “We always bring our rainbows.” See PRIDE page P2

Rally participants say enough is enough when it comes to hydro costs By DOREEN BARNES

A small rally was held at the Food Basics parking lot in Brockville, Saturday, like many other demonstrations in Lindsay, Trenton, Smiths Falls and across the province on June 4. People are becoming disheartened with the handling of Hydro One and momentum is growing to put more pressure on the Wynne government to take a hard look at the current electrical billing system and costs. “It’s time to tell our premier and [energy minister] Bob Chiarelli that enough is enough, that we cannot do it anymore,” said rally leader Jenni Gates. People were coming together with political leaders to discuss what can be done to alleviate the continual rise in high electrical costs along with delivery charges. At the Brockville rally, website administrator for Enough is Enough, www. facebook.com/groups/HydrooneEIE/, Gates, a single mother from Lansdowne, told those gathered about the protest at Queen’s Park, especially when LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark presented petitions to the minister of energy, Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli. “When Steve Clark mentioned the petitions (in the chamber), Premier Kathleen Wynne got up and walked out,” shared Gates. “Actually, Bob Chiarelli compared it to tomatoes and it is all excuses. For today, we want to bring awareness to the public, of what we are paying for electricity and we want something done about it,” said Gates. Gates spoke about a family receiving a bill for $384 with a delivery charge of $342. “There are people using zero hydro and they are getting a $113 bill for delivery,” shared Gates. “It’s unfair and makes no sense. People are choosing buying groceries or paying their mortgage or hydro bill. The price of electricity is 18 cents per kilowatt and in May 2010 it was 9.9 cents per kilowatt; that’s a huge change in just six years. I would like to know how Bob Chiarelli says that giving a $30 credit will help.” Adding to what Gates was sharing, Clark indicated that, “only in Ontario when you use more electricity, you pay more; if you conserve, you pay more and that is the challenge in the system. We have to fight for change of the whole process.” Clark mentioned that a leaked cabinet document was advising the ministry to cancel the Samsung agreement (green energy), because Samsung hadn’t fulfilled its obligations. “So they actually asked the ministry to use the clause, which wouldn’t cost any money, in fact it would give the ratepayer back $1.5 billion to help ratepayers lower their bill,” said Clark. “The government went against their own experts, went against the advice, didn’t get out of the Samsung agreement and we are all on the hook.” According to Clark, Hydro One Ombudsman Fiona Crean has been reaching out to MPPs offering to come to the riding to speak. Also in attendance on Saturday after-

people want to share their own individual story with me, they can contact me at my constituency office, email or social media and I’ll tell your stories at Queen’s Park,” said Clark. “When the government does ask for consultation by the ministry on their long-term energy program, we should all put pen to paper (or emails) to make sure the minister knows.” “Call Chiarelli’s office to provide input on the new energy plan and that we want a total rewrite of the plan,” stated Malanka. “So get yourself included. We know that complaining works. Hold their feet to the fire and get their attention; they do respond.” With 25 years on Brockville council, Earle feels that media coverage, articles in newspapers and letters to the editor are effective in getting an issue recognized. The consensus at the rally was that even though people are busy, more and more people need to come on board with their stories, complaints and support, to have changes made to the ongoing Hydro One costing process.

During the Enough is Enough Hydro One rally in the north end of Brockville on Saturday afternoon, several individuals spoke including rally leader Jenni Gates, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, Augusta Mayor Doug Malanka and Brockville Councillor Jeff Earle. The rally conclusion was to continue encouraging people to sign a petition, write letters to municipal leaders and Clark or even call Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli to apprise these people of your feelings towards the cost of electricity. noon was the Mayor of Augusta, Doug Malanka, and Brockville Councillor Jeff Earle, who spoke encouraging people to become involved. Malanka would like to see residents contacting Chiarelli to voice their opinion via letter writing or using the telephone. “This is a government determined to go in a direction without taking into account the damage it is doing to the economy and the hurt it is causing residents,” stated Malanka. “It has to be forced to stop.” Malanka feels that the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, made up of mayors and councillors from 444 municipalities, should also address this is-

sue through advocacy. For Earle, he feels this is vicious in nature and downright cruel for industries in this area to receive outrageous monthly bills. One example he shared was a company receiving a bill for $9,000 towards electricity usage, with add-ons for a total of $34,000 as one month’s charge. People present shared the situations that they are now in or know of people who are on fixed income, have medical expenses and cannot afford the continual hikes in the cost of electricity. When asked what residents can do, Clark was quick to offer suggestions. “Well, Hydro One Enough is Enough still asks people to support them. If

OPP: Driver behaviour needs to change to stem road deaths

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) fatality data for motorcyclists and off-road vehicle deaths reveals that the behaviour of drivers on and off the road is responsible for the overwhelming majority of the deaths. Over the past 10 years (2006-2015), there have been 267 motorcycle and 167 off-road vehicle (ORV) rider deaths in collisions investigated by the OPP. “…The motoring public is one of our most valued safety partners and by working together, we can significantly reduce the number of preventable collisions and the resulting loss of life on and off the road,” said OPP Commissioner JVN (Vince) Hawkes. Too many safe motorcyclists paying the price Sadly, last year (2015) marked the first year that more than half of the motorcyclists who have died in OPP-investigated collisions these past 10 years were killed through no fault of their own. A total of 27 motorcyclists and four passengers lost their lives last year, with a record 17 of those motorcycle drivers reported as driving properly at the time of the crash that ended their lives. Little change in leading causes of motorcycle deaths Various causal factors came into play in these fatal crashes, with loss of control (33), speed (30), failing to yield (28) and driver inattention (26) leading the list over the 10year period. While these causal factors can be attributed to either the motorcyclist or the driver(s) of other vehicle(s) involved in the collision, the bottom line is that motorcyclists and other drivers need to do a better job of sharing the road safely. The hard truth about ORV ejection and no helmet Ten-year ORV data revealed that off-roaders in large numbers continue to ride without helmets, with 74 of the 167 deceased riders found wearing no helmet at the time of the crash. With the vast majority (154) of those who died being ejected from their vehicle, the OPP remains concerned about the significant number of off-roaders who may falsely believe they can survive serious head trauma better than those who are ejected from other types of motorized vehicles.

You will want a ringside seat for a thundering show in Perth on June 18 as the RCMP’s Musical Ride comes to town. In support of the Lanark Leeds Grenville Alzheimer’s Society and Perth’s 200th anniversary celebrations, the ride will be a fundraising effort for both organizations. “We have been wanting to host the ride for a few years now,” said Bobbi-Jo Jarvis, the fund development coordinator at the Alzheimer Society.

“They alternate provinces and schedule Ontario for every four years. We are hosting with and sharing proceeds with the Perth Agricultural Society and they wanted to bring them here as part of the 200th anniversary for Perth. We thought this would be a great fundraiser for both of our organizations.” Gates open at 5 p.m. with a pre-show at 6 p.m. featuring Jess Wedden, Young Fiddler Trick Fiddler and Step Dancing as well as the Jumping Jaguars skipping team from St. John Catholic High School. The ride itself is slated for 7 p.m.

Jarvis said the tickets can only be purchased on the day of the event, which are $10 each and children under the age of seven are free. There will be food available for purchase by the Lioness Club as well as a cotton candy, candy apple truck on site. There will an opportunity at the end of the show to meet the riders and take photos “We are expecting a large crowd,” Jarvis said. “Probably around 1,000 people.” For more information call Jarvis at The Alzheimer Society Lanark Leeds Grenville at 866-576-8556.

County...Our board is very Hogue said the concept for the projects came about after the LCTA’s Annual General Meeting, healthy and looking good... which was attended by 20 members, including the response from the (AGM) municipal representatives. “The LCTA has spent a lot of time and effort strongly indicated a need thinking about tourism projects in Lanark County,” she noted. “...Our board is very healthy for marketing support of and looking good...the response from the (AGM) strongly indicated a need for marketing support of operators in Lanark County.” operators in Lanark County.” Amy Hogue Further evidence of the desire for collaboration LCTA executive director was shown through a 2013 survey of more than 100 Lanark County tourism stakeholders that showed a The image database with high quality, big need, Hogue remarked.

been speaking to already are quite excited because they are struggling to find images,” she continued. While professional photographers will be enlisted, contributions from the community are also welcome, Hogue stated. The tourism association will also be encouraging high school photography clubs and Algonquin College students to participate. “And we’ll be sure to concentrate on all municipalities (in the county).” The second initiative, story profiles, will focus on visitors’, tourism operators and residents’ experiences including museums, natural attractions, visitor centres, trails, local and regional attractions, as well as agri-tourism sites. “Right now in the industry, storytelling is really strong and something OHTO has identified would be really great to have,” Hogue said. “These are stories...about just who is Lanark County, what do we have to offer and telling them in a way that makes people want to come here.” A videographer will tour select locations, compile footage and distribute it through the LCTA, Lanark County, tourism members and municipalities using social media and online advertisements. “The benefit to you guys (Lanark County) is that this builds on tourism projects here,” she commented. Both projects are expected to be completed within 2016 and Hogue said will have many benefits including increasing economic development and business retention, reach a broader demographic and “provide tourism operators with resources for

much needed success.” County councillors were in big support of the two initiatives, with Coun. Louis Antonakos noting that his municipality of Carleton Place, had already begun work on their own image database. “...We started a photo bank some years ago in Carleton Place and have found it very, very useful in helping promote our town...,” he said. “We really need something to capture what it is that we’re trying to promote so I think this is a great idea, as well as the story profiles. I’m glad to see us talking about these things.” Lanark County CAO Kurt Greaves confirmed the $3,500 in funding will come from the tourism portion of the budget, to which council dedicated $7,500. Four-thousand dollars was already committed to the April Maple Weekend initiative. The LCTA is a not-for-profit membership based organization with a volunteer board of directors, which previously operated under the auspices of the county entity, Lanark County Tourism. At its May 6 AGM, a new board of directors was elected and includes: Kari Clarke with the Perth BIA; the Town of Carleton Place’s Nicole Guthrie; Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce’s Jackie Kavanagh; Tiffany MacLaren of the Municipality of Mississippi Mills; Bob Mingie with Lanark Highlands Business & Tourism; ecoPerth/Lanark Local Flavours’ Cheryl Nash; and Ray Thompson with the Lanark & District Maple Syrup Producers.

CDSBEO surpasses provincial graduation rate targets Graduation rates for learners in the 2010-11 Grade 9 cohort from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) were recently released in a report by the Ministry of Education. The provincial graduation rate for this same cohort was also released, and rates indicate an all-time high of 85.5 per cent, surpassing the ministry goal for the province of 85 per cent of students graduating. The ministry calculation is based on both a four-year and five-year formula which includes students who have moved from the CDSBEO to another system, and did not graduate, as well as students who have left the province and are beyond the board’s ability to track. The CDSBEO has done additional graduation rate calculations which consider the total number of students currently enrolled in grade 12 for that same cohort, omitting the early leavers. In the analysis of board credit accumulation for the 2010-11 cohort, results are as follows: • Under the Ministry of Education formula, the CDSBEO four year graduation rate is 85.4 per cent (up 0.2 per cent from the previous cohort), and the five year graduation rate is 89.5 per cent (up 1.1 per cent from the previous cohort). • Of students who stayed within the CDSBEO for the duration of their secondary education (904 students), 90.6 per cent graduated within four years, and 93.6 per cent within five years. • Of students who moved to another board (213 students), 59.2 per cent graduated within four years, and 67.1 per cent within five years.

• The total number of students who left prior to graduation was 37 students, ten of which moved out of province and could not be tracked, four moved to another school or training institution, while 23 students either moved into an employment position, or the destination of the student was unknown. “This data certainly demonstrates that the CDSBEO is seeing outstanding success regarding the number of students receiving their Ontario Secondary School Diploma,” noted Director of Education Wm. J. Gartland. “It is a testament to our teachers, and school staff, as well as the programs currently being offered which help those who are most at-risk to graduate.” The programs offered to board students, including 24 Specialist High Skills Major Programs, the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, the Personal Support Worker Program, and online learning programs, all help to contribute to a meaningful graduation outcome for CDSBEO learners. Re-engaging early leavers is a strong focus for the CDSBEO, and strategies are in place to facilitate this objective. Much work is done within secondary schools to re-engage early leavers so that they will become successful graduates, and obtain their Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Student success teachers and guidance counsellors individually review profiles of early leavers to determine their needs and a success plan is then created. A caring adult staff member then reaches out to these students to encourage them to consider

UCDSB graduation rate climbs to 82.3 per cent according to ministry The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) graduation rate has increased from 80.7 per cent in 2013-14 to 82.3 per cent in 2014-15 according to an announcement made by the Ministry of Education. The provincial average is 85.5 per cent. The provincial data is calculated by tracking Grade 9 students over a five-year period. The UCDSB five-year graduation rate is a key indicator in demonstrating the board’s

commitment to all students and our communities. “We are pleased to see an increase in this measure of student achievement by more than one per cent over last year’s UCDSB graduation rate” says Director of Education Stephen Sliwa. “It is encouraging to see more of our students achieving their goal of earning their Ontario Secondary School Diploma, which will further their opportunities for success in the future.” “The Upper Canada District School Board has set a goal of

Commentary

Strength in numbers

s much as we empathize with Ontarians who are fed up with electricity rates in Ontario, Hydro One and the manner in which the provincial government is handling this file, we wonder to what extent real change can occur without the rise of a movement that somehow manages to gain enough power and influence to make that change become reality. The same holds true in other areas of our lives. Many of us might be very concerned about hospital cuts or high gasoline prices, but little can be done to address the situation unless enough people get together in some form to impose their will on the public or private sector in terms of how we vote at election time or how we spend our money as consumers. A government that has the political will and power to stay the course despite public opposition, or a marketplace that is more of a monopoly or that is controlled by an individual or group working as a unit, is

extremely difficult to overcome. Even with an acknowledgement that the odds are always in the house’s favour and by a wide margin in some cases, champions have been known to overcome the odds and claim victories for the causes in which they believe. As daunting a task as it might appear to be, we must give credit to those who are willing to see it through and right a wrong even when the obstacles seem to be too much to overcome. Flooding politicians’ inboxes and voicemail with messages will not guarantee a certain outcome, but change is even more unlikely if there are no emails or calls voicing support or concern. Businesses usually take notice when a product or service gains or loses the interest of consumers and respond to it. Unless the politicians are completely driven by ideology, we’d like to think pragmatism can still play a role in allowing the people to have some degree of say in the issues that matter.

Emerson chokes on his own joke and this one involves jelly

he two choke cherry bushes just before the West Hill began, were in full bloom. Soon they would be heavy with the little berries and would become jelly. The jars would help fill our cellar shelves, already starting to show the results of Mother’s pickling and preserves. Not only did I love chokecherry jelly, spread on fresh buttered bread, but I often went to the two trees and popped a few in my mouth, enjoying the tart taste of the little berries. My brother Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be to make my life miserable, one day told me something that just about ruined my love of chokecherries. “Did you hear what happened to the Kallies boys second cousin, once removed? Well, he ate a handful of chokecherries and took a few sips of milk, and he choked to death.”

I figured I was safe because even though we had an ample supply of milk in the farm, I hated it. I was sure I could smell cow off a glass of milk, and to get milk into me, Mother had to stir in a spoon of cocoa and a few drops of vanilla. Only then could I get the glass of milk down. So I wasn’t likely to drop dead from eating a few chokecherries. I assured Emerson if he planned on getting rid of me any time soon, it wouldn’t be from eating chokecherries and then drinking milk! That afternoon, Mother made up

a batch of jelly from what Audrey and I were able to get off the bushes. The house was full of the wonderful smell of boiling berries. And then supper was on the table. And there was a bowl of fresh jelly! Emerson was sitting across from me on the bench that ran under the grape arbour window, and he spotted the jelly as soon as I did. I wasn’t sure what he was up to, but there was no doubt in my mind he was up to something. The fruit nappies sat in the middle of the table, and Emerson took one and helped himself to a few spoons full of jelly. He slathered a good helping of jelly on his slice of buttered bread, and crammed most of it into his mouth. Then he took a good swig of milk. Within seconds his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he started to cough, just like he did

when he had the gripe in the winter time. Mother stayed remarkably calm, and in a voice she reserved for the times when she lost her patience, asked Emerson what was wrong. “It’s the chokecherry jelly mixed with the milk,” he said, gasping for breath. “I told Mary this could happen and she wouldn’t believe me.” His face was beet red from the coughing, and he looked like he was going to slide off the bench and under the table. Everett and Earl, sitting on each side of him, didn’t lose a beat. They kept on eating their nappies of jelly as if their brother’s choking to death was a common occurrence. Mother finally put down her spoon, and her voice was now the one she used when she was about to give one of us a cuff on the ear. “So you think it was the jelly, do you?” Advertising SALEs: ADVERTISING SALES MANAGER Paula Inglis 613-283-3182 x169 SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kevin Hoover 613-283-3182

Emerson could only nod. “Well that’s mighty strange,” Mother said. “Because that’s blackberry jelly you’re eating. A bottle left over from last year. The chokecherry jelly has to settle before we eat it.” Everett and Earl both gave Emerson a poke in the ribs, my sister Audrey was laughing so hard she had to leave the table, and Father got up and went to his rocking chair and lit his pipe. “Don’t know what a man has to do to get to eat a meal in peace around here,” could be heard in a voice just above a whisper.

County in good financial position, says auditor Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

The financial health of Lanark County is solid, according to auditor Howard Allan. Allan, a chartered professional accountant and head of Allan and Partners LLP, presented his 2015 year-end audited financial statements during the May 11 corporate services committee meeting. The statements were formally endorsed by county council at its May 25 session. With a budget of more than

$70 million, Allan said his firm found “the operations of the county are sound, they are wellmanaged.” Allan said the county funded capital projects through reserves, which he said was positive. “Your improved your financial assets for the year, by close to $500,000,” he stated, noting net financial assets sit at $5.4 million “after I included all of the longterm debt, all of the liabilities.” Lanark County joins other corporations such as Frontenac County and the United Counties

of Leeds and Grenville as “wellmanaged counties.” “They all do prudent planning with reserves and it’s nice to see upper tier municipalities acting like that,” Allan said. The rate of taxation (0.379779 for municipal residential) is lower in the county than they were five years ago. “I would expect that’s due to our assessment and growth,” Allan said. “Indicators show things in the county are very positive and in the low-risk position.”

Ongoing Enrollment

Going forward, Allan stressed the importance of completing a long-term plan and maintaining electronic records. “You’ll need to access them in the future because of the constant changing environment we work in,” he explained. Overall, he said he had no significant comments on the accounting systems or operations within the county. “I’ve had tremendous cooperation from staff during the audit. All in all, 2015 was a good year for the county.”

Ruby Davidson, left, and Garrett Pipher, right, played grieving parents in the powerful teen play Jessie’s Song, which just wrapped up a tour of Lanark County.

Teen-adult dialogue continues after close of Jessie’s Song Now that the Burning Passions Theatre production Jessie’s Song has completed its tour of Lanark County, with a final performance in Almonte, the play’s producers are already planning next year’s show, a new take on the challenges faced by rural teenagers. Jessie’s Song, which focused on the impact of teen suicide on a community, inspired intense discussions after each of its six performances in the county, with everyone from teenagers to grandparents sharing honest and difficult stories about challenges they are dealing with. “Time and again, we heard from teenagers that they feel disconnected from the community, not heard by adults or, when listened to, either not believed, or treated in a patronizing manner,” says the show’s director and dramaturge, Laurel Smith. “It was also good for the teenagers in attendance to hear from adults who do care, and to come away feeling that there are allies they can approach to speak about their concerns and obstacles. But it should come as no surprise to us that in today’s world, life is tough for a lot of teens, and services that are available are under-resourced and often difficult to access when they’re needed most.” The troupe members themselves – performers Ruby Davidson, Kaija Evangelho, Tara Kreissler, and Garrett Pipher, technical assistant Vincent Bracegirdle, and social support worker Gillian Scott – found the whole experience a transformative one that allowed them to develop a close bond with one another while handling such a difficult subject matter. Jessie’s Song came together based on a concept proposed by Laurel Smith; troupe members provided input, shared stories, improvised scenes, and wrote monologues, which were then put together, edited, and streamlined into a full play with additional scenes by Smith, who has written and directed similar shows for youth both in Lanark County and in Toronto. “I had an amazing experience working on this project,” says Kreissler, who was a member of last year’s Listen Up, Perth pilot project, and

played the role of a conflicted bully in Jessie’s Song. “I got to meet wonderful people, I got to try a new type of role I’ve never played before, and overall it was a great learning experience. I feel that after working on this play, it gave me a better understanding of the stages of grief, and how a variety of different people would actually be affected by something as tragic as suicide. I’m very pleased at the outcome of this project, and I hope we touched many hearts and eased a few minds.” Pipher, who played both a teacher and a grieving parent, agrees, adding, “The creative process of this show was unlike anything I’ve ever done before. I’ve written shows, and the very early steps were about the same: developing the characters and general plot line, but from there, the play came to life in a whole new manner. It was very exciting, and creatively challenging, and it’s an experience I will never forget. Not to mention how great it was working with such an awesome group of creative individuals. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for all of us.” For Pipher, that future includes working as a member of the Classic Theatre Festival’s Youth Theatre Training Project this summer in two productions: the annual Perth through the Ages historical theatrical walking tour, which will run five mornings a week, 11 a.m. to noon, from June 22 to Aug. 28, and the Friday night Lonely Ghosts Walk, July 1 to Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. The former will focus on early relations between the Algonquin people – who have lived in the region for more than 8,000 years, and whose advice and assistance was critical for the survival of the European settlers who colonized the area 200 years ago – while the Ghost walk will look at the ill effects of alcohol and Perth’s early history as a distillery town. Smith is currently preparing final details for the Classic Theatre Festival’s mainstage season as well, which will feature two comedies – Neil Simon’s I Ought to Be in Pictures and George Bernard Shaw’s Arms and the Man – as well as the gripping mystery An Inspector Calls, all part of an ex-

panded season running June 22 to Sept. 11. Early bird tickets with significant savings are on sale until May

15. Tickets are available online at www.classictheatre. ca or by calling 1-877-2831283.

Marking 200 years with all original productions at Full Circle Theatre BarnDoor Productions’ The Last Deadman is a play that seems to be destined to mark anniversaries. The show had its premiere production in Perth on the 150th anniversary of the duel that it commemorates. After a number of productions elsewhere, it had its next Perth production on the 175th anniversary of the duel. This year, BarnDoor Productions is using it to kick off their summer-long observances of the 200th anniversary of the town itself. That event in a rain-soaked field on June 13 of 1833 had two significances. First, it was the last time, in Canada, that such a formalized combat ended in death. Second, the victor of the duel went on, in later life, to become one of the most respected and influential jurists and politicians of his day, one whose ideas helped to shape modern Canada – and it is clear from his life that the duel itself helped to shape his ideas. The Last Dead Man is a gripping and exciting piece of theatre that uses music, drama, comedy, video, sound and a collage of theatrical devices to create a kaleidoscopic multi-media show that explores not only the events of the duel itself but how it affected its victor and the ideas that it may have formed in his mind. One legend about John Wilson’s life is that on June 13, each year, Wilson would shut himself up in his study

The Final Shot! The cast of BarnDoor Productions’ The Last Deadman reach the climax of the story of Canada’s last fatal duel in a scene from a recent rehearsal of the drama with music that opens June 10 at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. and sit in darkness, thinking on the event. Another is that, in a time when many crimes carried the death penalty, Judge “Honest” John Wilson never

sentenced a single person to death. Wilson was a co-founder of the Clear Grits, forerunner of today’s Liberals, and later of the Ultra-Reform Party, a

very radical group for its day. Adding all of these legends and facts together, playwright David Jacklin created a play, in The Last Deadman, that examines what thoughts may have run through Wilson’s mind each June 13, and how those may have influenced his politics -- politics that very nearly led to his becoming Canada’s first prime minister. BarnDoor Productions has brought together a mostly teen-aged cast for the production; fittingly so, in that most of the participants in the 1833 duel were teenagers themselves, young people only born just around the time the Perth Military Settlement itself was born. Those young people were Perth’s first generation and their story is the foundation of the community’s story. The Last Deadman is just the first in a unique series of all-original productions that BarnDoor has lined up, shows that celebrate the past, present and future of the region. From the drama of a duel in June, to the fun and music of a “temperance soiree” in July to a “musical chiller” in August, BDP has a one-of-a-kind playbill to commemorate 200 years of our community - one that you won’t see anywhere else. 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. Tickets are just $20

reserved; $22 at the door; students $10 at any time. To reserve, simply call 613-2671884. No credit cards required; cash at the performance is requested.

Keep reusable bags, bins clean to help prevent foodborne illness

As an environmental choice, many Canadians are now shopping with reusable bins, plastic bags and cloth bags. Because these grocery bags and bins are reused frequently, they can pick up harmful bacteria from the foods they carry, or from their environment – the ground, the trunk of your car, or the items stored in them between grocery trips. These bacteria can also contaminate other foods or items in the bags/ bins and put you at risk of food poisoning. It is estimated that there are approximately four million cases (one in eight Canadians) of food-related illness in Canada every year. Many of these cases could be prevented by following proper food handling (and preparation) techniques. What you should do Lower the risk of cross-contamination and food poisoning by following these food safety tips. Keep your bags and bins clean • At home, clean the counters and tables where you place your bags or bins. • Wash reusable bags and bins frequently – especially after carrying fresh produce, meat, poultry or fish. • Cloth reusable bags should be washed in a washing machine using laundry detergent and dried in the dryer or air-dried. Some plastic reusable bags can be washed this way too – look to see if there are washing instructions for you to follow on the bag. • If you are using plastic-lined reusable bags, you can scrub them using hot

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 20 - Thursday, June 9, 2016

soapy water and air dry them. Check to make sure that both cloth and plasticlined bags are completely dry before storing them or using them again. • If your bags are not machine washable, wash them by hand with hot soapy water. Plastic bins should be washed regularly using hot soapy water as well. Dry your grocery bags and bins after washing them. • To help reduce cross-contamination and keep yourself and your family safe from harmful bacteria, it is recommended that the bags or bins you use for groceries not be used for other purposes. • If you store or carry non-food items in your grocery bags or bins, wash the bags and bins well before using them again for groceries. Pack your groceries carefully • Put fresh or frozen raw meat, poultry or fish in disposable plastic bags before packing them in a reusable bag or bin. (You can find these bags in the meat or produce sections of your store.) This will help prevent the juices from leaking and contaminating other foods and the reusable bags or bins. • Throw away the disposable plastic bags that you used to store meat or poultry. Don’t use them again. • Use separate bags or bins for fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry and ready-to-eat foods. Keep fresh or frozen raw meat, poultry and fish separate from fresh produce and other ready-to-eat foods by packing them in separate bags or bins. Submitted by Health Canada.

Helpful seasonal hints for heading to the cottage or campground

Cottage season is in full swing and with it comes the need to be a little more vigilant when it comes to mixing vehicles and Mother Nature. While everyone wants to hit the dock, beach, lake, etc when piling out of the family hauler after a long trek to the great outdoors, there are a few things to remember when parking your vehicle. Never leave any food in an auto overnight (or even for a prolonged period of time during the day). It’s just a great and open invitation to woodland critters to sneak in for a snack and if they don’t particularly like your brand of nachos, they’ll quickly move on to seat fabrics, plastics, and electrical wiring leading to major repair bills and a possible tow home. Be extra cautious where you park when arriving. If you stop over long dry grass you risk causing a fire when those plants come in contact with hot exhaust parts under the vehicle. Even heat shields in good condition are no guarantee of keeping things safe. Let the vehicle cool down for a few hours while parked over gravel or other nonflammable surface before moving it to its weekend parking spot. While the weather might be hot, resist the temptation to leave windows down or partially cracked when your chariot is unoccupied and parked. Dry pine needles and

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

other small wind-blown leaves can make a mess of a vehicle’s interior as well as providing a wide entry point for our furry friends. Also look overhead when you park. Many varieties of coniferous and deciduous trees can drip sap or resin and this can be extremely difficult to remove this from painted body panels and even harder to get it off of convertible tops. When pulling a boat out of the water for the return trip to the urban jungle, don’t forget to securely fasten the stern straps to the trailer and boat. Many drivers forget that boat trailers have fairly bouncy suspension systems and if you hit the right bump on the right corner it’s very easy to dislodge a light boat leading to a very suspenseful road event. Before heading home after a weekend or longer stay, get down and take a peak under your vehicle. While it’s not common, certain creatures like porcupines find the flexible coating on brake lines a particularly tasty snack and discovering you

have no brakes as you head down a rough narrow and hilly lane is an excitement you really don’t need. If your vehicle’s battery is more than four years old and has been giving you the odd bit of trouble and you just couldn’t get into the shop before that trip to the cottage, remember that more batteries fail in the heat of summer than ever do during the coldest winter. If your auto is parked in direct sunlight for an extended period of time with a weak battery, chances are good you may be greeted by the infamous ‘click-click’ sound of an inoperative starter when you turn the ignition key. Keep the under-hood temperatures lower by parking in the shade (cover the vehicle if tree sap/resin is a problem) and turn off every electrical accessory before shutting the engine down. The other season that’s in full swing is the Car Show season and this weekend is loaded with lots of chrome. On Saturday, June 11 the 11th annual Duck Festival Car Show happens in St. Isidore at the arena parking lot from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Check their website at festivalducanardetdelaplume.ca for more details. On June 11 and 12 the 43rd annual Odessa antique and classic

car show and flea market rolls onto the Odessa fairgrounds hosted by the Upper Canada region of the ACCCC (near Hwy 401 at Exit 599). This runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Admission is $3 (free for children 12 and under). On Sunday, June 12 the sixth annual All GM “MOTORAMA” show & shine for GM cars and trucks only lands at Myers Kanata in the Palladium Auto Park from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is a donation of canned goods or nonperishable food items in support of the Kanata Food Cupboard. And on the same Sunday the Ottawa Jaguar Club presents their Jaguar Concours and family day at the

Cumberland Heritage Village Museum in Cumberland.

contained within the financial statements, being the statement of operations, the statement of changes in net financial assets, and the statement of financial position. The audit showed that the 2015 revenues received exceeded budget, and expenditures were slightly lower than budget, creating an overall surplus. Staff is very committed to the provision of a variety of services while maintaining operational efficiencies. Allan also reviewed the five-year trends and noted that although residential assessment has been increasing, council has achieved reductions in the residential tax rates.

Long-term debt has also been decreasing over the last five years. The level of reserves was also discussed and the auditor indicated this ideal level should be evaluated as part of the 10year, long-range financial plan, which will identify existing infrastructure deficits. This infrastructure gap is an issue province-wide, as municipalities struggle to find a balance between the need to replace existing assets and the burden this will place on ratepayers.

met with staff to transition the approval authority for municipal official plan amendments to the counties. There are 10 official plan amendments at various stages in the approval process from application pre-consultation, and draft amendments to locally adopted amendments. Counties staff have identified and defined tasks that need to be completed right away and those which can be done in the longer term, Mills said. Staff will begin with assisting with the resolution of the appeals to the OMB. They will develop a counties approval process for amendments and establish a

June is jumping in Perth and area with full slate of entertainment As we utilize our electronic gadgets to facilitate convenience our lives these days, its equally important we remember, acknowledge and appreciate the incredibly creative, difficult and different times the pioneers of our gorgeous area experienced through history before us. Perth’s 200th Anniversary certainly is providing lots of opportunities for fun entertainment, with music often in the mix, that can help shed some light on the yesteryear activities of previous eras. Come celebrate our early settlers’ stories through words, imagery and song. Tay Valley Township is hosting the family friendly, educational Scotch Line History Fair on Sunday June 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ecotay Education Centre (corner of Upper Scotch Line & Menzies Munro Side Road), just west of Perth. Come visit these beautifully restored barns. Activities will include a Settlers’ Gathering, Costume Parade, Military Re-enactments, Traditional Crafts, Split-Rail Fence Building, Historic Mapping and an Archaeological Dig. Grade 4 to 8 students will be showing off their history exhibits, along with antique tractor and quilt displays. Authors Tim Wynne-Jones, Kay Rogers, Roy MacSkimming and Rick Roberts will be part of a panel discussion. Wonderful music will be provided by world jaunting Perthites “Scour the House”, made up of Juno Award winner James Keelaghan, Hugh McMillan (Spirit

of the West) and Kelly Hood. Also, there’ll be the sweet sounds of Long Sault Trio (Linda Marie Grenier, Dave Tilston, Victor Maltby). A marvellous variety of food will also be available. Free Admission. The fabulous Weber Brothers are going to be rockin’ Perth on Saturday June 18 at 8 p.m., Crystal Palace, so dust off your dancin’ shoes. If you’ve never experienced these brothers and their band, you’re in for a treat. As teenagers from Baltimore, MD, Ryan and Sam headed north to meet their idol, the legendary Ronnie Hawkins, showed up at his door and, after proving their prowess, joined his Hawks. Fifteen years later they continue to thrill crowds in Canada, US and Europe. They’ve recently been joined by one of my favourite guitarists, Emily Burgess (previously with 24th Street Wailers). Rock and roll in full cookin’ mode! A fundraiser for Stewart Park Festival, tickets are available at Shadowfax, Book Nook, Perth Brewery and Top Shelf Distillery for $20. Perth’s World Record Kilt Run

is going to be June 24, 25, 26 and is sure to be an even better spectacle than before. Friday at Studio Theatre features a welcoming concert by the fiddle and step dancing sensation, Everything Fitz, with Perth’s Jessica Wedden opening. Cost is $25 and tickets available at Tickets Please. (613-4856434). Saturday, June 25, picture several Highland bands leading in thousands of runners, all dressed in colourful kilts, racing through the streets of Perth. Throughout the day, starting at 1 p.m. in Crystal Palace and Stewart Park, the Kilt Run folk are hosting free ongoing entertainment, with music by an eclectic array of talent. From traditional themed tunes by Bobby Watt & Ecosse, Kelly Trottier, Blue Skies Fiddle Orchestra, Fiddlehead Soup providing the music for the swirls of Scottish Country Dancers, to the unique Harp Twins (identical twins - Camille and Kennerly Kitt playing electric and concert grand harps), kilted Celtic rock band, The Mudmen, to the amazing and memorable Ben Caplan & The Casual Smokes, who blew people away at Blue Skies Festival recently. With kids’ races, haggis hurling, baking contests, this family event has something for everyone, all day long. The Perth World Record Kilt Run begins in front of Town Hall at 6 p.m. Music carries on in the park all evening, finishing off at 9:30 p.m. with a Contra Dance led by famed

caller Martha Cooper with Ecosse. Oh, but that’s not all. On Sunday June 26, runners from all over the world will be here to run in the First Kilted Full Marathon, taking place, starting at Rideau Ferry at 6 a.m. and following the route of the original settlers arriving in the area 200 years ago, heading down the Scotch Line, ending at Ecotay Education Centre. Come cheer on and witness the finish line of this “Go The Distance” fundraiser for Canadian Cancer Society. Your $10 entry fee will go a long way to helping offset costs of volunteer drivers taking patients to Kingston or Ottawa. Ecotay opens at 8:30 a.m., when the race is expected to end for most runners, with a delectable breakfast featuring “Sconewitch” scones and “Seed to Sausage” bacon and sausage, pancakes and maple syrup and more.

Remembering the glory days of the Almonte Centennials hockey club One of the greatest hockey organizations to have ever existed in the Ottawa Valley was the Almonte Centennials. Between 1980-84 the Centennials won four straight league titles in the, now defunct, Eastern Ontario Senior ‘A’ Men’s Hockey league (EOSHL). They were similar in spirit (and dominance) as the Almonte Men’s Hockey Club teams of the early 1930s who won several titles including going undefeated in 1930-31 and setting a record for the most shutouts that season as well. The 1983-84 final between the Centennials and the Smiths Falls Rideaus is still considered to be one of the best series ever to be played in the Valley. It went seven games and was a spectacle to behold for many remarkable reasons. Cars were lined up forever in each town and the rinks were overflowing with fans. Traffic jams occurred after each game causing small town police personnel no shortage of grief. But what happened on the ice was nothing less then amazing. The pace of the games was breathtaking and the passing, hitting, checking, yelling and fighting was both intense and precise. Nothing short of a hockey fans dream or a gladiator’s paradise this series final was. When it was all over and the ice had melted, the sweat washed off and the blood cleaned up, it was the Centennials who prevailed at home in

game seven. Wow! Legendary Valley musician Bernie Costello (who resided in Almonte) was hired by both teams to play the organ for the games in each club’s arena. (Who else but “easygoing Bernie” could LYLE DILLABOUGH get a gig like that?) This series was all out war and only one such as Bernie could be considered to be diplomatic enough to be entrusted with such a duty. Terry Shea and Ron Harrison from CJET Radio in Smiths Falls called the live play by play to the Valley and the hundreds of fans who got turned away from each game. Names from those great Centennials teams include; Donnie Vaughan, Keith Schaeffer, Dale “Crash” Carson, Wray Munroe, “Dancing” Dave Barr and Guy Thurston. In fact, it was Thurston’s outstanding goaltending that proved to be the difference in the ‘84 final all would agree. Who around Almonte (or the entire league for that matter) could forget the antics and overflowing “words” of the late general manager of the Centennials, Bill Shepard? Or the constant, yet quiet, presence of team owner Jack Peterson? Those were colourful times indeed. The local legion hall would be jam packed after each game and there were many who would take to the microphone as Bernie Costello played away on the keyboard. A real “sense of community” there was then as it all was a lot more then just being about hockey. Sadly however, it all came to

an end. Shady deals and shady characters, plus too much money in the wrong hands, eventually doomed the senior league. The league vanished for good in the 1990s after a decade or so of severely struggling to stay afloat. It was nothing by then like in the heydays of the ‘70s and ‘80s. However, for those of us who remember, the days of the Almonte Centennials and the Eastern Ontario Senior League will stand out al-

ways as being simply magical. It was old-time hockey and it was good hockey. No, it was great hockey, the kind that will most likely never be seen again because times have changed. Maybe that’s a good thing too because it’s lucky that no one got seriously injured or killed. It’s perhaps a bad thing when one realizes that, in the present world, communities will never come together again.

Worthwhile renos start here There are a lot of reasons for renovating a home. If you’re among the many Canadians intent on tackling a home reno project this year, here are some important tips: Plan it Whether your goal is to create more usable space, make your home more energy efficient, or to enhance its value, figure out what renovations you want to do and why. A contractor can help minimize mistakes and an interior designer can help you create an appropriate design proposal. Budget it Once you know what you want to do, create a realistic and affordable budget. It’s not unusual for extra expenses to crop up, so set aside a contingency fund of at least 10% of your budget. Fund it Know your financing options. You could access a secured or unsecured line of credit, refinance a mortgage or a personal loan – but the best financing option of all is to set up a savings plan and/or use money you have already saved specifically for your reno. Sweat equity is a great way to save money – but only if you are confident you can do the work yourself. Also look into government support for such projects as improving the energy efficiency of your home. Local utilities may also offer grants or rebates. Research it If you’re using a contractor, choose carefully. Get recommendations from friends, co-workers or relatives, be sure to get multiple quotes and a reasonable price, always ask for references and always check them out.

Invest in life. Contact us for more information.

Manage Your Money Check to see if you need building permits for your renovations. If you live in a condo, check with your building’s management for any approvals you may need. If you’re renovating to increase the value of your home, keep in mind that some improvements offer better returns than others. In any case, how much you spend should depend on where you live as well as how long you plan to live there. For example, the value of an over-the-top reno in a lower-cost neighbourhood may not be recognized by potential homebuyers. On the other hand, a reno that improves energy efficiency may not only lower your operating costs and pay back your investment over time, it can also be a selling feature. A real estate agent can help you determine the renos that will get the best return on your investment. And before you start, to be sure you’ll have the money you need for your reno – and for all your other life goals – talk to your professional advisor.

The month of May ended with a blistering heat wave including record highs for several days. You need at least three consecutive days of plus 30 C temperatures for weather officials to officially document “a heat wave.” In Ottawa and eastern Ontario we easily qualified. It’s the first time since 1911. On Saturday, May 28, in the midst of the scorching run of record setting heat, the Carleton Place Sister City Committee, which I chair, staged our annual wine and food tasting fundraiser. Last minute sales were unexpectedly slow and I suspect the heat played a major role in that. It was the first run of really warm weather we’ve had this year and I suspect many families took advantage by getting away to the cottage for the weekend. Others probably decided to stay inside in the air conditioning or enjoy a cold beverage under umbrellas on the deck or in the backyard. No complaints though! We still had nearly 300 people involved and I thank everyone who participated. In so doing, you have assisted local and area high schoolers who will travel to Carleton Place’s sister communities in Scotland or Tennessee in the near future as part of our ongoing Youth Exchange Program. This was the ninth annual and often we have compatriots from Franklin, Tennessee join us for the special event which is always held on the last Saturday in May. No one from Franklin was here on this occasion which prompted me to send an email to some of our friends in the American south, poking fun at their absence. “We had your weather this year and you missed it,” I jabbed. It was ironic considering that in past years the venture has been held in the midst of near record cold. Some of our Tennessee visitors nearly perished. Spring-time in Canada eh. You just never know! Many of this year’s participants ended up with a special and very welcome treat. For the first time we included beer as part of the mix. Carleton Place now has its own craft brewery, Stalwart Brewing Co. For beer lovers the heat of summer and their favourite brew are a perfect match. Summer heat arrived early this year and the timing couldn’t have been better in terms of Stalwart’s involvement in the fundraiser. When the first member of our committee arrived the tap room was already packed with a sea of red (the colour of this year’s event tshirt). There’s nothing quite like a cold beer on a hot afternoon. I’m a big fan of the craft and micro brewing industry. Craft breweries are usually the smallest while microbreweries also produce beer in much smaller volume than the large-scale corporate behemoths which continue to dominate the brewing industry world-wide.

don’t like competition and they do their best to corner as much of the market as they can. If a small brewery starts to make a name for themselves it isn’t long before a major company makes them an offer they By Jeff maguire can’t refuse. It makes economic sense for those involved of course. I’m not so sure it is doing consumers any favours? An uncle of mine, who is very knowledgeable about the brewing industry, calls the result of all the buyouts “corporate swill.” He also has a couple of other names that I can’t repeat in a family newspaper. In Ontario it’s annoying that the big brewers themselves are the ones who run the beer outlets across the province. Where else would that be allowed to happen I wonder? There are only three ownership groups involved and one of those has only a two per cent share. Last December the Ontario government made it legal for supermarkets to sell so-called “six packs” of beer. To this point only a handful actually feature beer on their shelves. Their contribution to the province’s beer sales is a drop in the bucket. That needs to improve if we are to finally emerge from under the near-monopoly situation which still exists in Ontario. Surveys show that only a small percentage of Ontario residents even realize what the circumstances are relative to beer sales in this province. As a beer lover myself, I am disappointed that so many small breweries across North America have been gobbled up by a handful of companies, some of which are headquartered overseas. Kathleen and I have travelled in the United States every year since we’ve been married. I remember what a pleasure it once was to bring back some “different” American suds to share with family and friends. Now when I visit the coolers in U.S. supermarkets or corner stores I spend most of my time trying to find beer that isn’t produced by the big players. Their marketing is clever. You have to read the fine print on the packaging. There are only two independents of any size still operating in the States. Both are headquartered on the east coast and both produce excellent product! I’m not knocking all of the beer produced by the corporate giants. I very much enjoy some of it. No question about that. On the other hand lead me to the beer produced by microbrewers. I really enjoy trying different beer and thankfully the craft and micro brewing industry is booming. It gets bigger every year. Admittedly I have had some truly wretched beer from certain of the small players. I could make better product myself. I have actually, during the brief period when my brother Randy and I made our own at a local company that supplied all the ingredients and let us do the brewing. The end result was surprisingly good. But drinking beer out of plastic bottles was a real turn-off. It seems to me most of those establishments have fallen by the wayside in the face of competition from microbreweries which, thankfully, are popping up everywhere these days. Micro

Addiction in the workplace very costly to ignore Peter Kunst

In the past several months and through the pages of this publication, I have talked about the signs of addiction to alcohol and drugs. I went through the warning signs, through changes you may be noticing in a family member or friend and what to look for as well as some statistics on addiction prevalence in Canada. In this column, I would like to talk about our experiences at Newgate 180 when dealing with employers and union leaders. Chances are, as professionals working in union or employee assistance roles within your organization, you have or will have to deal with someone in your workplace who is struggling with an addiction problem. Like mental illness, it’s difficult to acknowledge and deal with but it is something for which it can be difficult to find immediate, appropriate and targeted treatment. Newgate 180 has been successfully changing the lives – both professional and personal – of people with addiction issues for more than 25 years with programming that targets the underlying issues of addiction while allowing clients to keep their dignity and build greater self-respect. When a person in your workplace comes to grips with their ad-

diction and comes forward for help, it is the responsibility of workplace managers to deal appropriately with the situation. Long gone are the days when someone could be dismissed for drinking or using drugs on the job or using in their personal lives to the point where it starts to adversely affect their ability to work. Instead, managers must deal with the situation and offer real assistance to help an employee get back on track. If not, in addition to the lost productivity factors, companies can often be targeted with grievances and/or other formal complaints which can be very costly to deal with. And, an employee who is wrongfully dismissed can sue which again creates a certain level of chaos and great expense in the workplace. In order to deal successfully with addiction in the workplace, it is best to invest in a workplace addiction program. This program will not only teach managers what to look for and how to deal with the situations they may encounter, but it will allow problems to be identified quickly and treatment to begin sooner which lessens the adverse financial and other impacts to an organization. And, workplace programs are not just for large corporations and businesses with many, many employees. These

programs are important for any company with more than a few employees and are, in fact, a great investment in both the employee and the continued overall success of the business. As mentioned, left unchecked or unidentified, addiction or substance abuse issues can cost a business thousands of dollars or more. So, it is best to get ahead of problems as soon as possible to stem any financial issues to be sure, but it also shows your employees you care about their well-being and the well-being of their families and entire social network. Remember, addiction and substance abuse doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it affects the lives of everyone around the addicted person. Next time, we’ll discuss specific treatment options and approaches we use to ensure recovery gets on track and stays on track for life. Peter Kunst is the executive director of Newgate 180 Addiction Solutions in Merrickville, Ontario. He has been treating those with addiction and substance abuse issues for more than 30 years. Every few months, Kunst’s column will appear in this publication and will tackle a different aspect of addiction and substance abuse issues.

brewing got its start in England in the 1970s and now it is a rapidly growing industry around the globe. Refreshing trend At the lovely country inn we frequent in Stowe, Vermont the only mainstream beer available on tap is Guinness. They sell some bottled product from the big brewers but their draft beer (and there are several) is all made in Vermont. My favourite is the lager produced by the famous von Trapp family of ‘Sound of Music’ fame. Yes, they now run their own brewery on the slopes of scenic Mount Mansfield. They serve 60,000 gallons of lager annually from their recently expanded location. The von Trapp’s are part of what I see as a refreshing trend in the brewing industry. Still, when I think about beer – and I definitely do from time to time – my thoughts generally turn to the excellent product available in Europe. I have an admitted weakness for English bitters and the prospect of a pint of German lager is

eagerly anticipated after a day of exploring in that wonderful country. The fact you can still buy from small, local breweries all over Germany is perhaps the biggest advantage of all. Most German beer is superb! There are lots of countries who claim to be the “first brewers.” Where beer was originally produced is anyone’s guess considering most experts believe the first fermented beverages on the planet were developed alongside the growth of agricultural cereals, probably some 12,000 years ago. It is known the Chinese produced one of the first alcoholic beverages, a mixture containing rice, honey and fruit some 9,000 years ago. It’s believed barley malt beer was born in the Middle East. Two months ago Germany celebrated the 500th anniversary of their well-known and highly respected “Beer Purity Law.” Chancellor Angela Merkel was among the dignitaries who toasted a law which records show was enacted in April 1516 when Duke William IV of Ba-

varia signed a beer purity law in the city of Ingolstadt (southern Germany). It was eventually adopted across the country and allowed only water, hops and malt as ingredients, although yeast was later added to the list. The law is still on the books today, although with a few exceptions. At the ceremony Merkel quoted German religious reformer Martin Luther (14831546) who once said, “He who has no beer has nothing to drink.” I totally agree. On more than one occasion during our travels beer has substituted for water in locations where the local drinking water can only be regarded as “highly suspicious.” Beer on the other hand is a totally pure product. You can always be sure if a bottle or can of beer has been properly sealed that it is completely safe to consume. To be honest most beer is good. But I always strive to find better ones!

Medical ethicist looks at euthanasia debate from the hospital bedside Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

In everything there is a season. And in Canada right now, the serious talk of the season is on assisted dying. Dr. Sandra Taylor, recently retired as the director of the Office of Bioethics, in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Queen’s University in Kingston, and as Clinical Bioethicist at Kingston General Hospital, brought the ongoing debate over doctor-assisted suicide back to Lanark County during the Probus Club of Perth’s annual general meeting, held at the Timber Run Golf Club in Lanark Village on Wednesday, June 1. For as dark as the subject matter was, Taylor’s could not have been more current and well timed. “It couldn’t be a more topical issue,” said Derek Cooke, Probus Club member in introducing her, since the Trudeau government’s assisteddying legislation had passed the House of Commons, and, as she spoke, it was being debated in the senate in Ottawa. This past Monday, June 6, the Supreme Court’s deadline for the government to have a new law in place to regulate the practice passed, and so there is, effectively, a legal grey area as the government scrambles to get the legislation passed while the old Criminal Code provisions have been overturned. A former nurse, who is married to Dr. Don Taylor, she also attended art school, stayed at home to look after her three children, completed her PhD in moral philosophy, with a specialization in biomedical ethics in 1995. Both her MA and PhD theses dealt with physician-assisted dying. Taylor began teaching at Queen’s and consulting at a Kingston-area hospital in 1991, and later co-authored a book on assisted suicide with Dr. Carlos Prado. “I’ve been looking at this and studying this area of medical ethics for about 35 years,” said Taylor. But the issue of end-of-life quality-oflife has been a personal discussion within her own family too. Her mother-in-law was dying LOW FINANCING RATES!

of breast cancer several years ago in Montreal and she noticed right away that there were differences in end-of-life care between two of the city’s best-known hospitals – the Royal Victoria and the Montreal General. The General had no palliative care unit, where her mother-in-law was, where “all treatment was very aggressive. They were treated way more than they would be treated today,” a stark difference from the care offered at the Royal Victoria’s palliative care unit several blocks away. “She really wanted to die,” said Taylor. “They did a tracheotomy on her against her will.” Before one can really talk about assisteddying, Taylor insisted that it was important to define what, exactly was being discussed. “(It’s) interesting that the government has chosen to say ‘assisted dying,’ instead of euthanasia,” said Taylor. “Assisted dying just sounds a little bit better.” But, for Taylor, “there is a difference,” which she defined as: Assisted suicide: the intentional act of killing oneself with the assistance of another who provides the knowledge, means, or both. Voluntary Euthanasia: a deliberate act undertaken by one person with the intention of ending the life of another person to relieve that person’s suffering with that competent person’s consent and where that act is the cause of death. The concept of legislating assisted suicide and euthanasia is nothing new. Two bills were introduced in the United States to legalize euthanasia in 1906, and in 1935, Dr. Killick Millard introduced similar legislation in the British parliament. Needless to say, all three bills were defeated. It would take until 1973 for the criteria for assisted death to become law in The Netherlands. It “established criteria that if that criteria was followed, the physician would not be held accountable.” Oregon became the first American state to legalize physician-assisted suicide (PAS) in 1997, followed by Washington State in 2008, Vermont in 2013, and California in 2015. Meanwhile, The Netherlands legalized PAS DELIVERY ALLOWANCES!

Dr. Sandra Taylor adjusts her microphone at the conclusion of her speech on doctor-assisted suicide at the Probus Club of Perth at their monthly meeting on June 1 at the Timber Run Golf Club in Lanark village. in 2002, and Canada is set to pass PAS and euthanasia this year. In the United States, only doctor-assisted suicide is being considered, but “our government is proposing to allow both (assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia) which I think is a good idea. PAS and euthanasia will be legal.” Looking back during the Second World War period, she said that the Nazi experience with euthanasia “was done in the interests of the state. It was not done in the interests of the people.” She stressed that the legislation being debated today places the patient as the agent requesting the procedure. “You have to ask, yourself, for assistance,” she said. Going back several centuries, on the island of Sparta, “you were obliged to kill defective newborns,” while, elsewhere, “you were not obliged

(to but were) allowed to do it.” The Christian church prohibited the practice of suicide in its early years, but one of the reasons for this was slightly surprising. “They (early Christians) were committing suicide to get to Heaven…that’s when the prohibition was put in,” said Taylor. But even today, religion still has a part to play. A person’s religious “world view is important,” and there is not as much of a distinction between morals and ethics as we may think in our western, secular world. In fact, etymologically, “they both mean ‘How we ought to live our lives.” One of the oldest institutions in Kingston is the Hotel Dieu, founded by the Catholic church, and that church still has a hand in running See DEATH page P6

WATCH FOR EVENTS PUBLISHED THE LAST THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH

Town steps back from banning all cameras on municipal property Haggart Island rocky ramps program proceeds, with wall repair promises to area residents in place

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Before Perth could ban all surveillance cameras from municipal property, council was given a gentle reminder that there are already cameras in operation at two town-run facilities. Perth town council heard during its council session on Tuesday, May 31, that “we have CCTV (closed-circuit television) to protect the artefacts,” at the Perth Museum, also known as Matheson House, said Mayor John Fenik. The town also operates a camera at the landfill site, following breakins at the shed there. But rather than catching robbers, the camera is more apt to capture images of wildlife. “It’s interesting to see wildlife caught on camera,” said Fenik, usually moose and bear. “The primary thing is to know where the bears are,” said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell. “It’s almost like an early warning system,” agreed Fenik. Coun. Jim Graff said that the landfill cameras were also necessary because “a number of people were dumping garbage at the gate on Sunday.” The revelation came as town council sought to outlaw the installation of security cameras at Conlon Farm following recent incidents of vandalism, and then to outlaw the cameras on all municipal property. If the bylaw passed as is, “the cameras we have existing today will come down,” to comply with the law, said chief administrative officer John deRosenroll. Part three of the proposed bylaw read that “surveillance shall not be used in any town-owned facilities.” A motion was passed at the meeting to amend the proposed by-law to

continue to allow for the continued operation of the museum and landfill site cameras, while still outlawing them at Conlon Farm, and to boost bylaw enforcement of the area. Coun. Judy Brown corrected Fenik, saying that the museum cameras “were not so much (for) the protection of artefacts,” but more so for the protection of staff working there. Once the motion was amended, the ban on cameras in Conlon Farm was passed –with Coun. Riq Turner, a long-time proponent of such a move, the sole dissenting vote against the measure. Rocky ramps Perth town council intends to get the funding in place for the second rocky ramp project during the life of this council session. Fenik added that the two-year observation period would continue for the first rocky ramp at the Rainbow Bridge site. Further to this, following consultations with

area residents – including a delegation from Harvey Street in attendance in the audience – there would be repairs done to nearby walls and the removal of excessive large stones. “This area is undergoing renewal,” said Fenik. “People are visiting it.” He added that “my preference is we monitor it and we move forward with the good steps we are using for that area.” Coun. Jim Boldt said that “we are on the verge of a bright situation,” but added that, the recent drought-like conditions, “we need time see both ends of the spectrum, low water and high water. We need time, to make an informed decision.” He agreed with Fenik that “we should be moving forward to get this phase done in this term of council.” About $50,000 will be needed during the budget deliberation process in 2017 for this plan to continue, before the next municipal election in 2018.

DEATH From page P1

many hospitals all over Canada and around the world. “It would seem to me…if your church believes it is wrong, and that you subscribe to the view of your church, then it’s wrong,” said Taylor. “Killing is always wrong, but we do kill.” Looking at the Ten Commandments’ sixth directive, “Thou shalt not kill,” (Exodus 20:13), which she has taken to mean, “thou shalt not kill wrongly. Once you have that qualifier, it changes things.” People kill plants and animals for food, they engage in what the church called a “just war,” or in self-defence. Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism do not allow for suicide, though “some Protestant churches will allow for euthanasia in limited circumstances,” but she stressed that “we are not enforcing any values on anyone. We are not a theocracy. We have to look at everybody’s values.” “In war, more people who are innocent (are killed),” than are soldiers, she said. While early Christians may have wanted to join Jesus in the great beyond, in the 20th century, the psychiatric community felt that anyone who wanted to end it all, was “acting irrationally…you could not be a rational being and want to take your own life.” But there is also a school of thought that sees that “suffering, obviously, would come into the rationale for wanting to take your own life,” she said, if the person was in “a medical state where it is not going to get better….Tomorrow isn’t going to be any better. In fact, it may be worse.” Since the 1990s, “we’ve changed our views…there can be rationality in suicide in certain instances.” One day, while on the job at the Kingston General Hospital (KGH), a man was brought in who had tried to commit suicide. He was put on life support, while an ethicist was brought in. “This person was capable,” said Taylor. But he had a family history of Huntington’s Disease, and had seen what it had done to loved ones in his own family. He knew he had it, and had made the rounds of family members to – unbeknownst to them – say goodbye. “Capacity was not in question,” said Taylor. “He was not afraid of dying.” For others, “they don’t want to die, but they don’t want to keep living like this.” For this victim, however, “he knew exactly what was going to happen,” as there was no help for Huntington’s at the time. The “decision was made to let this person die.” This is a decision that, in any good hospital, would never be made lightly. But to add to the gravity of the situation, “those were the days when you didn’t allow people to die,” when everything was done to keep the patient alive. The coroner was brought in and ruled that “it was a very sensible thing to do.” Those who oppose doctor-assisted suicide say that the diagnosis may change, or a cure may be found for the disease. To this, she replies that “by the time you would get to the point of wanting to end your life, there would be so much damage done to your organs…(that) it probably would not help you,” said Taylor, citing the example of cancer. Another criticism of allowing doctor-assisted death is that “if everyone had palliative care, no one would want to kill themselves.” She agreed, to a point, that palliative care “is absolutely necessary. There is no doubt about it.” A third criticism of the bill being debated in Ottawa is that it could lead to a slippery slope where disabled people are being euthanized. But not having a law is worse, she said. “Most laws are such that, if you didn’t have regulations, you could easily fall down the slippery slope,” she said. Looking to another part of medicine, she said that a doctor can amputate a limb – but there are regulations against him or her amputating the wrong one. “We always have to be aware of it,” said Taylor. “It is not a definitive argument,” admitting that abuses will occur, but she stressed that “you’re more likely to have abuses without regulations than with regulations… There will be some abuses, no matter what.” In fact, for many years, some doctors have already been operating in the shadows, operating under the sometimes euphemistic “easing suffering,” by, say, upping a patient’s morphine levels. “(The) doctor would make the decision for you,” said

Taylor. “(There was) not a lot of conversation between the doctor and patient.” A fourth criticism of PAS is that “if my doctor participates (in PAS), I will be afraid to go to them.” To this, Taylor asked the rhetorical question: “Why would doctors want to get rid of their patients?” The debate over so-called ‘bed blockers,’ and the costs of the elderly on the health

care system are real, and so are the concerns that euthanasia could be employed to free up spaces in the hospital wards. “We can’t start saying, ‘We can’t afford to keep you alive Ms. Smith,’” said Taylor. “I don’t know that it would save much money anyway, and from an ethical perspective, it is wrong.” She returned to an earlier point that not

wanting to live and wanting to die are, in fact, two different feelings. In her professional experience, she had only ever met one patient who actually, truly wanted to die. The patient wanted to be reunited with a late spouse and could see, in her mind’s eye, an afterlife. See DEATH page P7

DEATH From page P6

So, she stopped eating and drinking. While palliative care is adding quality of life to the few years, or months, or days that some people have remaining, “the problem is the emotional suffering. You can treat me dignified all you want. That doesn’t mean I feel dignified.” Questions During the question-and-answer session, a club member asked about whether doctorassisted euthanasia could be applied to those suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s. “It’s really problematic,” she replied. “When I am competent, when I am capable, I should I have an advanced directive,” to say to euthanatize myself if I enter into dementia? She noted that dementia sufferers “aren’t necessarily unhappy.” There was one small moment of levity in the speech, as she continued. If she ever got dementia, “I may not recognize (my husband) Don when he comes in. But I’m going out with George (on a date, which) may not make my husband very happy!” she said to laughter from the audience. “If I don’t know what is happening and somebody comes in and euthanizes me, I don’t think it is a good thing,” she said. “That’s where I could see abuses happening.” She acknowledged that another group, “disabled people, are worried that they will be coerced” into asking for help to die. But, “in my experience, families do not do this. Families and doctors do not try to get people to end their lives. Families want to keep their loved ones alive, rather than not.” Looking at

the example of The Netherlands, “we don’t see that kind of coercion. We have to avoid it. We have to make sure that disabled people are not being coerced.” But while some may have valid concerns about this pending legislation, and what they feel was a lack of public consultation on the matter, “we can’t prohibit assisted suicide for everyone because of the possibility of abuse.” Which is not to say that she has not seen abuse. She has seen two instances where “the family was coercing.” In the first case, a patient was brought in and was unconscious and needed temporary ventilation. The husband, however, did not want this and said that funeral arrangements had already been made. “It doesn’t pass the smell test,” said Taylor. The emergency room doctor dismissed the husband’s orders, and they later found out that “the spouse had a ‘friend’ and there was life insurance involved.” Audience members wondered about DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate), which she said was not considered assisted suicide. “We have to be very careful with advanced directives,” she said. A theoretical situation was put to Taylor, which was not unlike a real-life case of a murderer in Belgium. A murderer, serving a life sentence with no chance of parole, is full of remorse and wants to die. “I wish to end my life,” said Taylor. “My immediate response (to the murderer) would be ‘No,’” as that would set society “slipping down that slippery slope. I’m not sure we can start killing people because they want to be killed.”

Etymology R Us

was visiting one of my smart friends recently (it’s good to have smart friends) and, in some roundabout way, the origin of the word “third” entered our conversation. I think it might have been right after the discussion on Plato, but before the chat about quantum physics. (I still need to write a column about quantum physics – but not today.) Anyway, my friend said that something had happened “thrice,” which reminded him of the fact the word “third” actually started out as “thrid.” Makes sense: three, thrice, thrid… My exhaustive follow-up research on this subject (i.e. 10 minutes or so on the Interwebs) seemed to confirm the story. Many hundreds of years ago “third” started out as “thrid.” The Online Etymology Dictionary (which, I believe, is renowned) refers to the Old English word related to various Germanic forms: thridjas, thredda, dritto, dritte. Old Saxon is “thriddio.” Greek is “tritos” and Old Irish is “tris.” And so on. Makes sense. Everyone knows the “R before I except after TH” rule, right? OK. I’m babbling now. Apparently the spelling “thrid” dominated until the 16th century, but “thirdda” was found in Northumbrian dialect as early as 950ish. Hello? Are you still there? Good. I’m bringing up this whole fascinating discussion to illustrate a couple of things. First, spelling is important but, secondly, language evolves. Just ask Shakespeare. He made up words all the time. I just knoweth he dideth. Many of his creations stuck, such as “multitudinous” and “bedazzled.” Where the heck would we be without “bedazzled”? Having said all that, there is defiantly a distinct difference between a spelling error and an evolving word. (Did you catch that? It’s definitely one of my favourites.) Despite the alarming prevalence of “defiantly” being used in place of “definitely,” I don’t necessarily see a new word evolving out of it. Although you defiantitely never know. I’d love to climb into the Way Back Machine and see what went down on the whole “thrid” thing, which I am tempted to call a “debacle” or #ThridGate because I’m totally hip to the hyperbole and the hashtags. (There’s another great example of evolution – the hashtag. Still known as the number sign and the pound key and the frame for tictac-toe. Amazeballs.) So do you suppose some poor

Past Deadline

Stephanie Gray

scribe messed up repeatedly, leading to a trend? (Was it a “bad spellers untie!” moment in time?) Or maybe a group of troubadours decide more things rhymed with “third” as they sang the news (although maybe not in England and in that exact time period)? On that point, though, “grid” rhymes quite nicely with “thrid.” So does “bid,” “did,” “quid,” “mid,” “squid” – I don’t see what the problem could be. I even extended my exhaustive research by another five minutes to see if I could deduce where it all went terribly awry; alas, there was nothing to be immediately found. Also, my searches were repeatedly hindered by autocorrect – “do you mean third?” and hits about “third” being a commonly misspelled word that is frequently found on third and fourth grade spelling lists.) Sigh. Silly Interwebs. These days it’s not hard to understand how a word’s spelling might evolve. With our preponderance of electronic devices, words are frequently being shortened and altered for text messages to the point when, sometimes, the actual word begins to look a bit foreign. In recent years I have started conducting spelling tests in many of my college communications classes. Mostly we focus on commonly misspelled words (see “definitely/defiantly,” above), but usually there are vocation-related terms thrown in, too. Sometimes the words get misspelled so many times I start doubting what I’m seeing and have to look at my original list. Back when I spent pretty much 100 per cent of my workdays writing and/or editing copy, I was particularly particular. Being in the editing game meant it was hard to read anything for fun – errors made me cringe. Eventually, though, I learned to relax – about that, anyway. After all, if everyone could spell, then I would have been out of work. Bad spellers untie! (Don’t make me repeat it a thrid time.)

High Tea Time at Crystal Palace

Afternoon tea was served the Downton Abbey way in Perth Sunday, June 5, at a special luncheon presented by the Cross Roads Tea Room of Perth. The well-attended event, with sittings at 1 and 3 p.m., took place at the Crystal Palace. Pictured, clockwise from left, friends from Perth, Smiths Falls, Ottawa and Toronto: Beverley Marshall, Lori Adey, Ashley Kennedy, Emily Miller, Shirley Miller, Carol Ann Kennedy and Diane Orsini.

Well done, Tim Hortons!

n my usual route for coffee recently, I did a doubledouble take when I discovered the absence of the recycle bins in the drive-through lane at Tim Hortons in Smiths Falls. I pondered this for a minute, while I dropped the used coffee cup back in the holder of my car, and tossed a plastic water bottle into the back seat with the rest of the junk I’d accumulated over the past week or so. (Only to dispose of it all at Tim Hortons, by the way.) Imagine that – Tim Hortons is no longer responsible for my garbage. Holy cow. I can’t dump the accrued contents of my car… like I have seen so many others ahead of me in the lineup do countless times. In a national move, the coffee chain is removing recycling bins from drive-through lanes across the country. Tim Hortons made the decision, which came into effect a little over a month ago, in collaboration with the franchise owners. The company said at least two waste and recycling bins are still needed outside each restaurant, with one in a vis-

LAURIE WEIR Weir View ible/accessible area near the drivethrough. (I can’t see myself actually getting out of my car to dump my trash now… sheesh! I guess I will just have to take it home.) Apparently it’s not feasible to ask a drive-through customer to sort waste into its appropriate recycle containers while trying to keep the line moving at a steady pace. I suspect there is more to it than that. I think they got tired of picking up after us slobs in the drive-through. So now I must get rid of my own garbage, in my own bins, and let my recycle guy pick it up like he does every Monday (or Tuesday in case of a holiday). What a novel idea. I applaud Tim Hortons for doing this. We, coffee drinkers, are some of the biggest garbage dumpers going. In the past, I have seen everything from newspapers to diapers fly from

car windows aimed at the garbage container in the drive-through. Or just out the window in general, like with cigarette butts. When I got around to pay for my order on this particular day, I asked the lady at the window, if in fact, they did get rid of the bins. She nodded, handing me my coffee. “Well done!” I said, “That’s the best thing I have ever seen!” And I smiled at her, to reaffirm that I really was in favour of this move by the coffee giant. “You are the first and only positive response we have received so far,” she told me as I scooted through the lineup. And what about those cigarette butts? There isn’t a day that goes by I don’t see cigarette butts littering the ground around the drive-through (and many other places), especially in and around the flower beds where Tim Hortons staff have placed signs specially asking people not to place butts in their beds.

Le t ters to the Editor

It was a heck of a trek from Brockville, says reader DEAR EDITOR:

The amazing Settlers Trek from Brockville to Perth was a star performance in many ways. As intended, the trek was an outstanding commemoration of the first settlers in Perth. The trekkers were dressed appropriately (although I pitied the women in those long dresses on the warmer days). Although most of the adventure was authentic with head cover for the women, when I raised the issue that men should be served first at dinner as they were 200 years ago it had little effect. The trek also recognized those who followed including my ancestors, the Glascotts in 1819. These early venturers came for free land and the other freedoms associated with the land and a fresh new country. These strong willed people developed this

country under conditions almost unimaginable to us today. They initiated the communities in which we live today. Although the trek honoured the development of communities in the past I believe that it did even more for the communities in the present day. Every community through which the trekkers ventured, welcomed them and facilitated their journey. Community organizations and churches sponsored breakfasts, lunches or dinners, and offered entertainment and camping facilities. In doing so the trek provided communities with meaningful opportunities to work together within each community and from community to community. Yes, the meals were great but the spirit in which they were offered was even better. Trekkers raved about a short stop at an old house on the Old

Kingston Road where the Gibson family amazed the trekkers with their old traditional hospitality including devilled eggs. A six-day venture is not an easy task to organize. In the case of the trek the planning was the vision of the few people who worked for three years to organize, advertise, recruit people to participate overcome all requirements for safety and insurance, gather the necessary safety equipment and all of this was done without any government funding as I understand. When the adventure ended in Perth on Friday afternoon I was still uncertain as to who were the major organizers, a rare phenomenon in these contemporary “look-atme” times. In a very minor role I volunteered to facilitate the efforts of the 35 trekkers in the full realization that I could not possibly

walk that distance. As the trek proceeded I became increasingly enchanted by the dynamics of the group and their developing relationship with each other. I joined them for meals and other activities and although I was not a trekker I was welcomed as if I were. The organization and leadership behind the venture were exceptional. I was so enthralled that I joined the trek from Rideau Ferry to Perth. Well, I started at the front of the pack and 15 minutes later I was at the end of the pack. By 16 minutes I was in the truck that marked the end of the procession. Clearly this pace was not for everyone. Kudos to the organizers, the trekkers and the communities who facilitated and supported this outstanding activity.

It was the last paragraph in The Perth Courier’s second section of June 2, “Highway 7’s collision corner”, that got my interest. It intimated that the MTO “is moving towards a turning circle, like you would see in Kemptville”, a “round-a-bout” they call it in Britain. When vacationing in Ontario in 1974, I came across only two of these, one was in the Experimental Farm, which is a poor example, and the oth-

But people do it anyway as if to toss the bird at those darned signs. Or maybe they can’t read. Or just don’t care. Scary world we live in. Now, I also see discarded coffee cups and other garbage in my coffee drive-through lane. I was seeing tossed garbage before though, too. I have seen coffee cups that missed the bins when the driver tossed it out the window and didn’t bother to pick it up. (Guilty.) That would hold up the line, dontcha know. Here is the perfect solution for those cigarette butts now. Leave a little bit of coffee in the bottom of that cup you can’t toss out of your window at the drive-through and just stick your wayward butt in it.

er in Niagara Falls. When I, and my family emigrated here in 1976 there was only one. Niagara Falls had lost theirs, it seemed that Canadians did not know how to use them. I wondered what the difficulty was when it seemed so obvious but I heard about the “rule of the right,” where a vehicle on the right has “right of way.” Then years later, when the Blue Mountain Village and Collingwood were being built, I saw how someone, perhaps on council, solved this simple problem, a yield sign.

It’s well documented that careless tossing of cigarettes causes fires. Look what happened in Fort McMurray. A forest fire researcher, Mike Flannigan, who is a professor of wild land fires at the University of Alberta, said in a Global News (Alberta) interview that the fire’s proximity to the city, as well as data that shows there were no lightning strikes in the area, led him to believe the cause of the fire was likely human. So well done, Tim Hortons. I just hope we don’t see even more trash and butts on the side of the roads. There’s nothing more disgusting than a bunch of pigs leaving roadsides littered with garbage. It sure makes me proud.

Did you know? From The History Learning Site: “The use of unrestricted submarine warfare was announced by Germany on January 9, 1917. The use of unrestricted submarine warfare was to have a major impact on World War One as it was one of the main reasons why America joined the war. By then Germany had a fleet of 46 large submarines capable of operating in deep water, and also had 23 U-boats that could operate at a coastal level. By March 21, 1917, seven American merchant ships had been sunk by the Germans. President Wilson summoned Congress and on April 6, 1917, America entered the war.”

On Tuesday evening June 14, members of Lanark County Master Gardeners will be assembled to answer your gardening questions at the next meeting of the Perth & District Horticultural Society.

Historical Mapping Project on the agenda for historical society meeting June 16 The June 16 meeting of the Perth and District Historical Society will feature a demonstration of the Historical Mapping Project. It will be presented by Barrie Crampton in the Algonquin College Library (Perth Campus) on Craig Street (Hwy 43) Perth. The Historical Mapping Project is a legacy venture commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement. It is available as an online database showing the individual plots assigned to the original soldiers and settlers in the area, and is able to track ownership from either the original settler and his descendants, or subsequent families who assumed residency on these lots. The project’s team members will demonstrate the resources used by them in their work. Barrie Crampton – project leader, will introduce the team responsible for the work – from the beginning research of old records to the compilation of documents and the development of data systems. He will acknowledge the role played by other team members, such as Marie White of Lanark County Tourism. Ann MacPhail – Algonquin College Library technician, responsible for the research of the historical land records in the archives, transcribing the microfilmed records from over 8000 hand written family names and 3800 lots for entering into the computer database. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology – a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyse, manage, and present all types of geographical and records data for presentation on a land based map. Jeff Dean and Shawn Warner –

CGIS Perth used resurrected historical maps and employed GIS to provide the historical map locations and relevant historical data about the early military and/or settlers. Ron Shaw – well known local author will show how the project can be utilized in historical research. Also, one of the team’s summer students will report on the usage of military and ships records as compiled by Shaw that were integrated with the geospatial map information. The evening will include demonstrations of research outcomes based on the attributes of GIS based mapping. Also, the Algonquin College Library is equipped with a number of computers that will be made available for those in attendance who may wish to access the online historical maps or request some mentoring assistance from team members. We are pleased to be continuing our anniversary year partnership with the Perth Legion, Lake 88 and Maximilian’s Dining Lounge. We also appreciate the continuing support of this paper. The Perth and District Historical Society is dedicated to learning about and popularising our local history. As such, for this month, we will demonstrate a hands-on tool available to the public for their personal historical searches. The meeting is at 7:30 pm at Algonquin College and is open to the public. The usual “Toonie Fee” applies. For information, contact Ellen Dean at 613-264-8262 or David Taylor at 613-264-0094. Our website at www.perthhs.org has additional information about us and items of interest related to Perth and District. Submitted by the Perth and District Historical Society.

Ferrier set to launch fourth novel in Perth

Local author, Randy Ferrier is releasing the much-anticipated sequel to The Crow Flies South For The Winter, The Crow’s Nest Lies Beneath The Snow. The book launch and signing will be held at the Bookworm on Foster Street in Perth between 1 and 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 18. Ferrier says The Crow’s Nest marks a return to the lighter side - it’s not as dark as his previous two novels. He describes it as a story that will make you smile, “It’s a fun read, full

of surprises.” This is Ferrier’s fourth book to be published in just over two years. His previous works include The House Of The Black Goat and Cemetery Side Road. Randy’s next project is already in the works; it will be another mystery set locally. Ferrier is also announcing a contest open to anyone (over the age of 18) at the book launch on June 18th. The winning entry will have his or her name used as a character in the up-

coming book, and will be announced on R.M. Ferrier’s Facebook page on June 25. Don’t miss your opportunity to have your name live on for posterity! Be sure to drop into the Bookworm next Saturday afternoon to support a local author. R.M. Ferrier’s books can also be purchased at The Book Nook, Backbeat Books and Brownlee’s Metro in Perth and online on Amazon. Submitted by the author

Perth and District CFUW presents Education Awards amounting to $20,000 The Perth and District branch of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) is proud to announce this year’s recipients of the Education Awards, presented May 30, 2016 at the club’s Annual General Meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion. The ceremony was hosted by Past President and Education Awards project chair Brenda Ethier. Special guests for the evening included Doris Mae Oultin, National President, CFUW, Leila Metcalf, CFUW Regional VicePresident, Ontario East, award recipients, their invited guests, and several home owners who opened their doors for the 2015 Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour. Fourteen women who are advancing to post-secondary education at the College or University levels were provided with awards which totaled $20,000.00. They are Alexandra Abbott-Bagg who also received an award in 2015, Amy Badenoch, Victoria Bali, Emilie Canie, Kendra Carnrite, Larissa Churchill, Sierra Peskett, Kaitlyn Kerrigan, Kaitlyn Langlois, Aisley McCarthy, Adriannna Moore, Samantha Davidson, Barbara Reade and Aja Rowden. Their awards were based on their demonstrated financial need, references, and their commitment to our commu-

nity. CFUW raised these funds during our Annual House Tour in December 2015. Jackie Boyer, President if the local CFUW club says “It takes a village to make these awards possible—the Town, police, business owners, residents and ticket-holders all contribute to the success of the event..” The total amount of education awards, given since 2005, is now $146,000. In addition, we have also supported the libraries in Perth, Lanark, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Almonte, Ready 2 Read programs at elementary schools, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the YAK Centre in Perth, The Table Community Food Centre in Perth, and the Historica Canada local competition. Our Education, Literacy and The Arts Committee of CFUW is developing exciting new initiatives and the club members are thrilled to be able to contribute to our community in these ways. This year’s Tour will be hosted Dec. 3, 4. The Canadian Federation of University Women is a national organization of several thousand women across Canada in 122 local clubs. The local club began in 1970. Submitted by Perth and District Chapter of the CFUW

Drummond Central School set to host open house on June 24 Drummond Central School staff and students are busy bees preparing for their open house on Friday, June 24. Touted as the “Place to Bee” with the school’s mascot being none other than the bumble bee, DCC will be a hive of activities started at 5:30 p.m. that afternoon. A BBeeQ, open house and free play activities will take place until 6:15 p.m. followed by a Bee Fact Scavenger hunt until 6;45 p.m. and it will conclude with the DCS video and Junkyard Symphony. The barbecue will be by donation with all proceeds going to The Table in Perth (hot dogs, hamburgers, water, veggie trays, fruit basket, gluten-free options and vegetarian options). The BBQ is sponsored by our school’s Eco Ninja program and the volunteers and organizers are making it a health conscious barbecue as well as trying to making it more of a green event with an eye on reducing, reusing, and recycling. They are partnering up again with The Table at the end of the month for the pumpkin garden opening and this event will be good to help draw the links between growing our own food and giving back to an organization that focuses on food in our community. The open house is focused on showcasing the talent of the children, the special programs that parent volunteers bring to the school, and the high level of community involvement in the school, to showcase this school as the heart of its community. The first floor of the school will be open and visitors are welcome to tour through the halls where there will be a multi-media display, visit the library (learning commons), art room and gym. There will be displays in all of the rooms and our Principal and Parent Council volunteers will be present to answer questions about our school. It’s a great opportunity to see what DCS is all about. There will be activities available for kids during the barbecue and open house. These will be featured in our “Busy Bee Garden”. There will be the usual kids favourites: bubble blowers, parachute, chalk as well as some surprises. This will not be a formal focus but is meant to keep children busy and engaged while parents are touring the open house. They are hoping to have some DCS “Alumni” helping out with the activities. Children will have to search the school grounds and inside the school to find “fun DCS Bee facts” in a race to see who can answer all of their questions first. They will be giving away prizes in three different categories so the smallest and biggest kids will get a chance to win. This is meant to be a fun and interactive way to get to know more about DCS. The Junkyard Symphony will be entertaining everyone as the main event of the evening. The performance will be introduced by the principal and a short video that several DCS students are working on. This event will be outside

on the lawn if the weather is nice (so bring a blanket) and inside if there are showers. The event is scheduled to go ahead rain or shine. If the weather is nice it will be outside for the events and inside if the weather doesn’t cooperate. They are also making arrangements for things to be done in shade/ gym if the weather becomes too hot.

The event is put on by the parent council as a way to showcase just what DCS has to offer to children and families “We believe strongly in the importance of our rural community school in fostering a positive and strong learning environment as this is the foundation for all later learning and life success,”

said the parent council in a press release. You can also check out the school’s Facebook page to see what they have been up to https://www.facebook.com/DrummondCentralSchool, as they are making an effort to raise their online profile. Submitted by DCS Parent Council

Celebrating 30 years in the community

The 30th Anniversary of the Westport Royal Canadian Legion building and the opening of the new Jean Merkley Memorial Entrance was another wonderful celebration for the branch on Sunday, May 29. Rodger and Leonard Merkley were on hand to cut the ribbon and be the first to walk in through the new handicap entrance. The Perth Citizens’ Band played “O Canada” and a musical melody throughout the afternoon. A wreath was laid at the cenotaph by past president Penny Griffin and Ian Jackson (Sgt. at Arms, Veteran) with a moment of silence. Mayor Ron Holman from Rideau Lakes Township and Wesport Mayor Robin Jones spoke on the volunteers of the Legion and the great contributions made by the branch’s presence in the community. Pictured at the ribbon cutting are Leonard Merley, David Wickenden Legion president Rodger Merkley

The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital is always considering how to improve communications and the link between the patient, family and the hospital care team. One initiative that the organization has undertaken to incorporate the patient and family voice is through the Patient & Family Advisory Council (the council). The role of the council is to identify current and future opportunities to improve the care experience for patients, family and caregivers. By building a formal and structured partnership with the organization, PSFDH will be able to better identify and integrate the patient perspective in its planning and activities. The goal of the council is to listen and learn from patients, family members and/or their caregivers to embed the patient voice throughout the organization. The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital is currently accepting applications for upcoming vacancies (four) for the Patient & Family Advisory Council. Council members are persons who have had a recent experience (generally within three years) of being a patient or the family member of a patient and who are willing to work with PSFDH to provide direct input into policies, programs and practices which affect patient care and services. The role of the members of the Patient & Family Advisory Council will be

to keep the patient and family as the focal point of our healthcare system. The Patient & Family Advisory Council will meet approximately every two months, for a period of two hours. A copy of the terms of reference can be provided upon request. For more information regarding the Council, please contact: Michele Bellows at (613) 283 2330 Ext. 1292. Interested candidates are asked to submit a 250-word expression of interest that answers the following questions: • Why would you like to serve as a Patient & Family Advisory Council member? • What are some issues of special interest to you? Submissions will be accepted until June 25, 2016 to the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital office by mail and/or email to the address below. Only those applicants selected for an interview will be contacted.

The Rideau District High School senior girls soccer team took to the pitch at the provincials last week. After placing second in the EOSSAA (hosted by Rideau), the girls were off to OFSAA in North Bay. At OFSAA, RDHS defeated the number three seed, Toronto District Christian, 3-1. The girls then lost to Port Hope 3-0. On day two, the Lions lost to Hamilton District Christian 5-1 but defeated Vaughn Road Academy 1-0. Rideau ended up tied for second in their pool but lost the head to head with Port Hope. It was a fun year for the team, many of whom will graduate this year. Coaches Brad Banks and Scott Halladay said it was a privilege to have such a wonderful group of young ladies to work with. Graduating players include (from left to right), Taylor Halladay, Taylor Bresee and Mykaela Mallette. They are pictured with coach Scott Halladay.

Kilt but not dead: See the reverend run So I’ve decided to run in the kilt run this year. I’ve wanted to since I first moved to Perth five years ago, but for a bunch of reasons I’ve never got around to it. And each year as I watch from the sidelines I wish I could have been part of it. There are really three reasons i really feel the compulsion to run this year. First of all, there is that inspiring sight of so great a throng of misfits and oddballs gathered with a singular purpose of doing something incredible. Something that will stand out as witness to the spirit of the wonderful community we live in. It will unite us as one group made of up of young and old, rich and poor, men women and children. Secondly, I want to run because it’s setting a record. It’s pushing beyond the limits of what has been done before. And it leaves a mark for those who come after to remember us by. Thirdly, I was in a bad car accident a couple years ago. You may remember I wrote about it before; three days in a coma and three months in a wheelchair. My hip was broken, and they had to rebuild it with eight screws and a clip. I worked hard for a bit more than a year in physio and out, to learn to walk again, but all to no avail. In the end the top of my femur died and I had to give up and have a full hip replacement last June. So exactly one year from the hip replacement, I will dawn a kilt and join over 4,500 others as we set our eyes towards the finish line. I know it will sound strange to

Religion Today REV. PETER GOODYEAR

most, but my reasons to go to church are pretty much the same. Every Sunday I gather with a great crowd of misfits and oddballs. We gather for a single purpose and it unites us in ways you can’t imagine. Old, young, rich, poor, men, women and children we gather and become one community, who have a singular vision. We celebrate and witness to an incredible relationship with have with each other and with God. Secondly I want to do something that matters. I want to leave my mark on the world and say something with my life. And the people I gather with, we learn together about doing just that. Thirdly, I used to be broken. Really

broken. I tried a lot of ways to get put together. I craved a life that was healthy and whole. I started to wonder of that would ever happen. If it was even possible. It was hard work getting up every morning and plugging away. I wondered if I’d ever feel healthy and whole. Sometimes you have to go right back to the beginning and start over fresh to really fix what’s wrong. Church, at its root is a celebration of that great do-over Jesus offers broken souls who want badly enough to be whole that they are willing to let him operate. So Saturday June 25, I will run my race. I’ll be celebrating how far I’ve come. And grateful for the ones who have helped and supported me along the way. And Sunday June 26, I’ll be in church running a different race. Celebrating how far I’ve come. And grateful for the ones who have helped and supported me along the way. I’d love to see your face in the crowd. We can cheer each other on. And cross the finish line together. What a day that’ll be!

Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change now operational Following a recent recommendation from the Mayor’s Task Force on Local Climate Change, Perth’s town council unanimously passed a motion that the Town re-activate its membership with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Partners for Climate Protection Program. Council also agreed to allocate funding in the amount of $54,600 to reach the Program’s milestones in the coming year. This initiative is consistent with the Town’s Strategic Plan, which identifies the goal of becoming a Town “where being green is a way of life.” Perth was an early adopter of actions to address the challenges of climate change and energy efficiency but, it has been 16 years since the town was an active member in the FCM Program. Now with this renewed commitment, the town will revisit its climate change portfolio, take stock of current emissions to see how we have done, and will then focus on reenergizing municipal operations and

the town as a whole on action oriented projects. The Program’s Five-Milestone Structure includes: 1) Creation of a current greenhouse gas emissions inventory and forecast; and, 2) Establishment of an emissions reduction target. Membership in the Climate Protection Program enables eligibility for funding ($32,000) to enable the town to update and achieve the program milestones. Environmental consultant Bob Argue and University of Ottawa co-op student Sam Beaulieu, have been contracted to work with the Mayor’s Task Force on this project. Argue was very involved in Perth’s earlier efforts around climate change and is uniquely qualified to provide expertise on the current initiative. The Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change members are Fenik, Coun. Jim Graff, Anna Cornel, Ramsey Hart and Peggy Land. Submitted by the Town of Perth

J. Edgar Erwin founded Dodds & Erwin Ltd in 1918 in downtown Perth. The mill was built off the main street at 64 Gore Street East where it still stands today. Milling continued into the 1930s to 1950s under Kenneth & Catherine Erwin. In 1959, Harry Erwin graduated from Guelph University and took over until his retirement in 2001. In 2005, Dodds & Erwin purchased the Nixon Building Supply property on County Road #1 where they have operated their retail store for 10 years, while the milling still took place at the 64 Gore Street East location in downtown Perth. It was within their 10 year plan to transfer all milling practices to their new location at 2870 County Road #1 and that has now taken place. After milling for almost 100 years in downtown Perth it is time to say goodbye to the old mill and open their new compact hi-speed mill at their present location. The new mill will operate off-grid, powered by a Detroit diesel V12. It will supply 3-phase power to all equipment, including the grinder, roller and cracker. These will be used to mill both conventional and organic grains. Dodds & Erwin has been milling and manufacturing quality feeds for livestock as well as wildlife feeds - for nearly 100 years. It is operated by the 4th generation owners and hopes to continue on into future generations. Thank you for supporting the downtown Dodds & Erwin feed mill over the years and we look forward to serving you with quality service in the years to come! Congratulations DoDDs & Erwin

Get your orders in for the Hungry Planet pop-up event The Table Community Food Centre, and community chef Judy Dempsey are excited to announce once again, the return of one of Perth’s all-time favourite restaurants – The Hungry Planet. Last year’s Pop Ups were such a success, we decided to bring it all back again! Many people have fond memories of the Border Farm burger and the Santorini sandwich among other delicious creations. Do you remember the brown paper menu on the walls, the busy open kitchen and the sense of community? On Saturday June 11, Dempsey will be cooking from the Hungry Planet’s original menu. These special “pop-up” events are a fundraiser for The Table Community Food Centre’s community meals program which offers free, nutritious and delicious meals three times a week. In 2015, The Table served almost 9,000 community meals to over 400 individuals. The pop-ups will feature many of the Hungry Planet’s most popular dishes. Everything will be made fresh as you would expect from The Hungry Planet. Dishes on the eclectic, globally-

inspired menu will highlight a variety of local ingredients. Weather-permitting an outdoor picnic area will be created so diners can enjoy their meals with other Hungry Planet fans and reminisce about the good old days. All main dishes will be priced at $25 and Judy plans to have a few of her famous side salads and desserts on hand. Pick up will be between 11:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday. Organizers expect popular items to sell out and encourage people to order early in the week. The menu and other details are available at (www.thetablecfc.org) and “The Hungry Planet Pop Up” Facebook page. The Table Community Food Centre uses the power of good food to grow, health hope and community. The Centre is an affiliate of Community Food Centres Canada, a growing network of similar organizations across Canada. In addition to the Community Meals program, The Table runs a Good Food Bank, Food Skills Programs, After School Programming, Advocacy and Social Justice Programs and a Community Garden.

WILD PARSNIP

Please be advised that Tay Valley Township will not be conducting a roadside spraying program to control the spread of Wild Parsnip in 2016 along Township roads and properties. Lanark County as well as some local municipalities within Lanark County have decided to carry out a roadside spraying program beginning in late May through to the end of June, 2016. Tay Valley will continue our roadside mowing program, as in past years, along Township roads. Tay Valley will be monitoring the Wild Parsnip situation in 2016 and making note of areas of infestation so that we can make informed decisions on this issue in future years. If you live, or own property, adjacent to a County Road then the road allowance will be sprayed under the County program unless you advise the County of Lanark you do not wish it to be sprayed. Please contact the County of Lanark at 613-267-1353 or http://www.lanarkcounty.ca/Page1875.aspx for further information on this. If you live, or own property, adjacent to a Township Road within Tay Valley the road allowance will not be sprayed but will be mowed as it has been in past years. Wild Parsnip is an invasive plant that is increasingly common within Lanark County and was added to Ontario’s list of Noxious Weeds in January, 2015. The plant is most commonly found in areas such as road shoulders, roadside ditches, rail corridors, trails and uncultivated lands. Wild Parsnip may pose a health risk to humans as the plant sap may cause skin and eye irritation and make the skin prone to severe burning and blistering when exposed to the sun. The blisters typically occur one to two days after contact with the plant. In some cases, this can result in long term scarring of the skin. The best way to avoid contact with Wild Parsnip is to become familiar with what the plant looks like and the proper handling techniques when dealing with the plant. Information to identify and deal with Wild Parsnip is available on Ontario’s Invading Species Awareness Program website http://www.invadingspecies.com. Additional information can also be obtained from the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit at www.healthunit.org/hazards/dangerousweeds.html.

Sparkling MVFN spring gathering features generosity of community here and in the North At the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) annual spring gathering, Jennifer Kingsley’s “Meet the North” presentation and the generosity of communities near and far shone brightly. The sold-out event saw more than 150 in the community enjoy a reception and banquet dinner in the Almonte Civitan Community Hall decorated with the color and glow of the “Northern Lights.” Through the keynote presentation we were privileged to meet many generous people who are making a good life for themselves and their families in Northern communities (in locales such as Longyearbyen, Svalbard; Pond Inlet, Nunavut; Iceland), and who invited guest speaker journalist/naturalist Jennifer Kingsley into their homes and lives as she traveled to “Meet the North” one introduction at a time. It seemed as if the Arctic circle curved south for this one night as we learned quite unexpected things about Northern life from the sparkling personality of Kingsley. On her journey, Kingsley explained, she has had to “let expectations go” and the result she said is summed up with the word “unexpected.” Enjoying tea in Pond Inlet made with fresh water collected from a nearby iceberg! The unexpected stories from “Meet the North” were told formally for the first time at MVFN’s Spring Gathering, leaving the audience intrigued and humbled by many special moments, for

At MVFN’s Spring Gathering, Jennifer Kingsley shared her “Meet the North” stories and signed copies of her award-winning book “Paddle North: Adventure, Resilience and Renewal in the Arctic Wild.” example images of a group of people with divergent political views together “singing their hearts out” in a coal mine in a distant Norwegian archipelago. The stories were all brought to life in the images of photographer Eric Guth, carried south and shared by Kingsley. You can follow the continuing journey on-line on Kingsley’s “Meet the North” blog.

The generosity of our local community also shone very brightly on this Spring Gathering evening. Thanks to the support of bidders and individuals and businesses who contributed to a silent auction, over $3,000 was raised for MVFN’s Environmental Education program. This program is currently supporting Monarch butterfly conservation education at 17 local and nearby primary schools. Using provided plants, soil, and milkweed seeds butterfly gardens are being, or have already been, developed and are being nurtured. In September, with “live monarch release kits” students will observe the life cycle of the butterfly and regenerate the “supergeneration” of this imperiled species. A special thank you to the following contributors for enabling these efforts!

MVFN as a charitable organization and member group of Ontario Nature has a mission to advance nature education and conservation, and presents several awards to recognize and support excellence. At the Spring Gathering, the 2016 Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary Award for post-secondary education was presented to St. John Catholic High School (Perth) student Erin Symon who will begin a four-year Bachelor of Arts degree program in Environmental and Resource Studies in September. In addition to the student award, two MVFN Champion for Nature awards were presented, to recognize individuals or groups for outstanding achievements in wildlife conservation, and whose actions have raised awareness and contributed to the protection of our local natural heritage. Dr. Tineke Kuiper, a resident of Wolf Grove and former

MVFN Board member and Program Chair, was nominated for her tireless research work making presentations and providing support and advice regarding development of Natural Heritage System policies for Mississippi Mills and for heading up MVFN’s recent efforts to prevent development within Burnt Lands Alvar. A second 2016 Champion for Nature award was presented to Ray Holland, a “transporting angel of injured birds.” Lynda Bennett: “There is nothing Ray would not do to protect any living species.” In the 1980’s Ray helped Kathy Nehei save hundreds of Ring-billed gulls and as a resident of Pakenham, he has spent a lifetime studying birds and their habitat. He watched over and cared for the female Bullock’s Oriole found in Pakenham last March. More detailed Champion “Profiles” can be found at mvfn.ca. MVFN wholeheartedly thanks everyone who made the event such a success! We remind members of the upcoming summer paddling program and invite the public to join the club for the summer program of canoeing, nature field trips and citizen science work; our natural history lecture series will resume in September after a summer break.

In loving memory Yarrow Viets September 27, 1981 – June 11, 2015 The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Forever. Love Marek, Brody and Brooke Mom and Dad Aspen, Neil and Lily CAMPBELL - In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, Doug, who passed away June 12, 2001. Loved, remembered and longed for always. Marjorie, Shirley, David & family Patsy, John & family John, Karen & family

DALTON, Ross – Who passed away so suddenly on June 13, 1980. Remember Ross with a smile today, He wasn’t one for tears. Reflect instead on memories of all the happy years, Recall his laugh and the way he spoke. And the funny things he did, His strength, his love and the way he joked. His eyes that shone with fun, So much of him that never died, He left for everyone. Sadly missed, Marilyn & family

Loved by Mom (Barb), Peter and Angela

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me He only takes the best. Love your wife, Cherilyn — Death changes everything! Time changes nothing! We still miss the sound of your voice, The wisdom in your advice, The stories of your life. And just being in your presence, So no, time changes nothing.

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs. LET IT ROT!
