Town likely to end OMB appeal of official plan

Showcase for CCHL2 to be held in Perth Laurie Weir

The Town of Perth’s long official plan nightmare may be coming to an end. “We have been in a protracted, long conflict with the county (over the official plan),” said Mayor John Fenik during a special town council meeting on Tuesday, June 2. “We have come to an agreement. I am happy to announce a resolution.” He explained that the resolution came about by the town purchasing “a piece of land (where) a number of units have been allotted.” The land is north of Highway 7, and is already a part of the town proper. Fenik cautioned, however, that the resolution “still has to go to county (council) for final approval.” The town had taken up an appeal to the Ontario Municipal

Michael McLean is bursting at the seams. The head coach and owner of the Perth Blue Wings nailed a huge coup Wednesday, June 3. “We’ve got the CCHL2 showcase for Sept. 11,” he said on Thursday morning. “This is great news for us.” The former Eastern Ontario Jr. Hockey League has been replaced by the new Central Canada Hockey League 2 (CCHL2) and along with these changes, six teams had to leave the 22-team fold. “Almonte’s gone, but we picked up their head coach Bill White and he’s going to be my assistant coach and GM,” McLean said. “I’ve also acquired the rights (by way of a player development fee) to seven of their players, so they’ll be joining us for camp.” See OP page P4 For White, returning to Perth is something he said he is looking forward to. The folding of the Almonte Thunder was bittersweet for the 30-year veteran coach. G?

The Lanark County Tourism Association (LCTA) believes the best way to experience the beauty of the area is on two wheels. The association recently unveiled Cycle Lanark, its first, bilingual cycling map, which points out popular routes throughout the county, amenities, festivals, features and accommodations. At the recent Lanark County economic development committee meeting on May 27, LCTA’s program manager Melonie Sibbitt and Jeff Mills were on hand to make a presentation on the map and provide copies for county councillors to take back to their home municipalities. Sibbitt said the cost of creating the map amounted to $15,000, with the county chipping in half ($7,500) through its collaborative tourism projects fund. LCTA came up with the rest through their budget and association memberships. The map focuses on creating experiences within Lanark County to bring cyclists to the region and enhance tourism. Mills indicated that cycling is a growing market ($39 million was spent by cyclists in Ontario in 2010) and Lanark County wants a piece of that pie. He said this is an advancement towards creating a cycling friendly community through the Ontario by Bike organization. “I sit on the Ontario by Bike board and in February 2015 I went to a conference on the state of the cycle tourism sector,” Mills stated, noting that a large percentage of cyclists are “looking for print cycle maps. They want to know where they are going and how they are going to connect with people.” “There are lots of communities across the province who are choosing to build this economy in their communities,” he added. Whether cyclists are passing through the county or staying for a weekend, the comprehensive map outlines local cafés and farmers’ markets, to fine dining and retail businesses. “We vetted them (maps) with cyclists in Lanark County and picked groupings that made a lot of sense,” Mills said. Another benefit of the project is to work on increasing membership and the exposure of the LCTA, as well as get involved in the Ontario by Bike guide and other promotional materials. “We have about 16 registered businesses (on the map) and moving forward we want to get everybody on the map,” he commented. “...We’re also lining up with the Ontario Cycling Strategy, a provincial initiative.”

RECORD DATE NOTICE (By-Law 4.2) The Annual General Meeting of Family and Children’s Services of Lanark Leeds and Grenville will be held on Tuesday, September 22nd, 2015 Persons wishing to vote at the 2015 Annual General Meeting or serve as Board Members must be Members of the Corporation.

New bilingual cycling map promotes active transportation in Lanark County

The Lanark County Tourism Association (LCTA) recently unveiled its first-ever bilingual Cycle Lanark map and representatives gave a presentation on the project during the May 27 Lanark County economic development committee meeting. From left: LCTA member and Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month co-chair Jeff Mills, LCTA program manager Melonie Sibbitt and Mississippi Mills Bicyle Month co-chair Bob Woods show off the map. The association has also started the process of meeting with bed and breakfasts to create more experiential tours. “We feel there’s no better roads than in Lanark County,” Mills stressed. While Mills acknowledged this is a “good first go” of the map, “it’s not an end in itself.” “This is a tool in our economic development tool chest. It’s a good step, but it’s not the end of the line. We can do more if we’re going to build on the cycling community in Lanark County,” Mills remarked. In the meantime, there’s plenty Lanark County can do to further themselves as a cycle friendly destination. “Consider what you do on your roads because it can place us in this strategy. It’s all about connectivity between communities,” Mills explained. “It’s not about us doing our thing here in Lanark, but how do we connect with Ottawa and the rest of the province? Increase cycling tourism opportunities because we want to be ready for them (cyclists) when they come.” County councillors were impressed with what they saw. “This is a fantastic job you’ve done,” noted Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos. “I particularly

like that it’s an easy read and that specific routes have been outlined for people.” “Thank you very much for your leadership in this active transportation initiative,” added Montague Reeve Bill Dobson. Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd questioned why cyclists continue to use maps in today’s electronic age. “That’s a really good question,” admitted Mills. “Through surveys and research that’s been done, that’s what was said. While I was cycling in Europe, I used maps. Lots of cyclists use them to record miles and log routes. They like to look at them afterwards.” In addition to being available at municipal offices throughout Lanark County, Cycle Lanark maps are being distributed to businesses, bike and sports stores throughout Ottawa and the area, as well as cycling clubs and bike shows. It will also be posted on the LCTA website: http://lanarkcountytourism.com. Silver chain challenge Mills also took the opportunity to bend the ear of council in his other capacity, as co-chair of Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month, which takes place each year

throughout the month of June. Once again this month, the group will be holding the Silver Chain Challenge, open to all municipalities in Lanark County. It launched May 29. “It started off as a bit of a challenge to get people active in Lanark County,” he said, noting that it’s becoming a competition between Renfrew and Lanark counties. Last year, Renfrew took the crown away from Lanark, but Mills wants to bring the title home. It’s easy to get involved, he said. Register through www.silverchainchallenge.ca, then choose to ride, walk or run in your town and make sure to log your kilometres online. “This is a chance to ride your bike to work or go shopping versus a leisurely ride,” he continued. “Extra points are given when you wear a helmet or if you’re over 65.” “We feel this (challenge) does help to get us more active,” and Mills said Lanark County communities are becoming aware. “Last year, Smiths Falls didn’t register a kilometre and I think it’s because they didn’t know about it. That’s why we’re spreading the word more this year.”

3M Golf for Kids raises more than $14,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters Supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County were on hand to enjoy a fun day of golf at Mapleview Golf Course in Perth on May 30.

More than 15 volunteers worked tirelessly to put on the event, which raised more than $14,000 for the local charity.

Special recognition was given to Ruth Anne Johnson, a volunteer who has been co-ordinating the silent auction for the last six years. 3M Canada in Perth was this year’s title sponsor and sent two teams to participate, as well as donated items for the popular take home bags that each golfer receives.

Each volunteer that offers to work with a child through our agency is carefully screened and evaluated for the safety of the children by a trained social worker. Thorough background checks are conducted, along with

interviewing and training. Children are also given safety training and go through an interview process, along with their families, to ensure that each match is set up to be successful. Matches are then monitored closely to ensure its success and the safety and well being of the child. National standards are followed closely

throughout the process. The agency does not receive sustainable government funding, so it relies on events like this golf tournament to fund its programs.

Blitz finds most baitfish dealers obeying rules Most storefront baitfish dealers checked during a two-day enforcement blitz in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s Kemptville district were found to be obeying Ontario’s baitfish regulations. Ministry conservation officers conducted the unannounced inspections in the Kemptville district, which includes Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas,

Glengarry, Prescott, Russell and Lanark counties and the City of Ottawa, from May 20 to May 21. Officers were checking for compliance with the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and regulations. Special attention was paid to the possession and sale of species other than bait, the proper use of log books and licensing. Officers checked 21 baitfish

dealers and harvesters during the blitz. They issued three warnings for: Failing to follow licensing conditions and failing to keep proper log books. Ofﬁcers used the opportunity to educate dealers, asking them to remind anglers that it is an offence to empty bait buckets in lakes and rivers. They also discussed how to reduce the movement of invasive species.

Smiths Falls students honoured for Juno Beach project Students at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) were honoured recently for helping to preserve Canada’s military history while making it accessible. A total of 172 current and former students who worked on the Juno Beach Project were recognized with a Lieutenant Governor’s Ontario Heritage Award. During a ceremony at the high school, each student was presented with a commemorative pin by officials with the Ontario Heritage Trust. The students, who won in the youth achievement category, will receive certificates signed by the

Lieutenant Governor at a later date. The research project, which ran from 2012-2014, traced the journey of 359 Canadian servicemen who died on D-Day and the days shortly thereafter, and produced a cellphone app that easily displays detailed information on their sacrifices. The project was officially recognized by the Lieutenant Governor in February during a ceremony at Queen’s Park. However, only a select few students represented the school during that awards presentation. Tonight’s ceremony ensured all who contributed were recognized.

History teacher Blake Seward said the honour demonstrates the value of the project for student learning and engagement. “We’re always thinking about real-world education scenarios,” said Seward of SFDCI’s efforts to enhance student learning. “With Juno Beach, the kids were writing bios and developed an app that has an application in the real world. What the Ontario Heritage Trust did tonight was make sure they recognized our students’ work and affirmed its value.” The Juno Beach Project was a major research effort involving Grade 10 history and Grades

The benefits of financial advice: many and tangible Manage Your Money It’s been proven in study after study and, more importantly, in the lives of millions of Canadians - the best way to achieve your financial and retirement goals is having access to sound financial advice grounded in a comprehensive financial plan. Research* into Canadians’ savings and investment behavior and our attitudes toward retirement and savings advice has identified the significant value of delivering financial advice to the public, at all income and asset levels. The research concluded: • Advice has a positive and significant impact on financial assets. • Advisors perform tasks vital in the financial lives of their clients including improved financial literacy, developing a culture of savings and investment, developing and executing a financial plan, selecting appropriate financial vehicles and products and improving investment decisionmaking. • Advice positively impacts retirement readiness. • Canadians trust their advisors, feel positive toward them, and feel more confident they will have enough money to retire comfortably. A comprehensive financial plan should include investment planning, cash flow planning, education planning, estate planning, insurance planning, retirement planning, and tax planning. To be successful, your plan must be tailored to you. It makes sense to seek the advice of a financial advisor who will take you through this six-step planning process: 1. Goal setting – to define and prioritize your goals and concerns. 2. Data gathering – gathering all the pertinent financial information to understand your

Banking on hope

s they say, you can’t win if you don’t play. For those of us who have been playing more than we can afford to, here are some numbers of note from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). The provincial agency has raked in nearly $40 billion since the Wintario days of the mid-1970s. OLG is the province’s largest source of non-tax revenue, and gambling money has helped to cover the cost of providing health care, education and other services to Ontarians during the last four decades. That’s $40 billion in 40 years. Many of us are willing and, hopefully, able to plunk down a few bucks every so often to come up with that million-to-one payout in a lottery. Those overwhelming odds can also apply to scratch ticket games. For example, a current $3 Crossword series has nearly 26 million tickets and 13 top prizes of $50,000. The same numbers apply to the next three top cash prizes in that game, which basically

means the player has about a one in half a million shot at winning a significant prize. Still, the prospect of having a chance at a big payday is enough to get many of us going back to the lottery kiosk on a regular basis. And without that legalized gambling revenue, the provincial government would have to find another source of income to make up the difference; that would be the taxpayer. Remember when it was a big deal for a community to host the weekly Wintario draw? We’d watch as Fred David and Faye Dance would lead the Thursday night proceedings, and Faye would go into the audience and get someone to press the button for the live draws and wait for the $100,000 draw at the end of the show. Who could have imagined back in the ‘70s and early ‘80s that the lottery business would have grown into a $40billion business? That’s the sound of the Ontario government hitting the jackpot!

argue, though...just having a book of our choosing was enough for us. Well, the weekend rolled around and it was time to get the books back to Renfrew. They were to be put inside a clean flour bag pillowslip for the trip. We were well warned by Miss wire-rimmed glasses, that if any book had as much as a smidgen of a mark on it, Mother would have to buy it. Well! That was like saying we had to buy a new car! And so, we kept the books spotlessly clean, making sure we had washed our hands before opening them, and when it wasn’t locked up for the winter, sitting on the horsehair settee in the parlour to read.

never moved from the chair he was sitting on in the kitchen. We looked under mattresses, in the wood box, and even in the back-to-wall cupboard. Mother’s patience was wearing thin, but it was my older and very wise sister Audrey who finally figured out how to get Terry to turn over the library book. She told him she wouldn’t take out a book that week, and he could have two. All he had to do was hand over the one due back in Renfrew. Well, he flew off the chair like a bolt of lightning, headed upstairs, and pulled his little leather suitcase out from under his bed, opened it up, and tucked under his clothes was the lost

that are most closely in accord with his own deeply-held beliefs. I’m sure that John will demonstrate this himself, in the coming months, more eloquently than I can hope to do in this letter. This will be my sixth election campaign, and looking not only at John Fenik, but also at Liberal candidate Philippe Archambault and our new Green candidate, Anita Payne, I have

to say that I don’t think I’ve ever faced a more impressive set of political opponents. Regardless who wins in October’s election, I am confident that the voters of the new riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston will be well-served in the 42nd Parliament.

library book. I asked Audrey what we would have done if we hadn’t found the book. “We would have had to pay for it.” I also asked Audrey if Terry hadn’t turned the book over, if that would be like stealing, which in our house was punishable by death. She then assured me we would have eventually found the book when we were packing up the cousins to send them back to Montreal at the end of the summer. But the book was found, and that was all that mattered. As for Terry, he kept bringing home books because he liked the covers. The brighter the better. Books with fire-red steam engines, trains, animals, and covers with pictures of raging

water were his favourites. He never opened the books from one week to the next, which to me was mighty strange. The Renfrew Library opened up a whole new world for us. Even with only one book a week, we could travel in our mind’s eye to far away countries, meet people who were famous, and escape into a make-believe land, and for a time remove ourselves from the poverty of the Depression years that held so many of us captive.

Five homes and three gardens were featured. Above, visitors leave an old world bungalow on Heritage Drive after a tour. It was constructed on two acres by local construction company, Lockwood Brothers. Above right, visitors take a walk through Heritage Stables, which features a 100-year-old barn. The property was purchased in 2008 by Jake and Katy Drummond, who made extensive renovations. Once a dairy barn, it is now used primarily as a horse stable and event venue.

FIFA’s shame is no reflection on sport of soccer

Seedy business I have named these individuals only because of their past relationships with CONCACAF. Blazer was the long serving general secretary of the organization and was once executive vice-president of the US Soccer Federation. This is a long, involved and very seedy tale related to how big money can turn the heads of those charged with managing a massive, international organization. To say FIFA has received bad publicity as a result of this is the understatement of the year. But incredibly the long-time head of the organization,

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

Swiss resident Sepp Blatter, was actually returned for another term as FIFA president just two days after this latest scandal broke. Then, under extreme pressure, Blatter stepped down from the post on June 2. The fact he says he will stay on for a year – until a successor can be named – isn’t exactly sitting well with his many critics. Still, with hand over heart, Blatter has told the media he is determined to root out “the few” inside his organization who are involved in corruption. His determination didn’t last very long! To me, a few can be counted on one hand. More than 20 people, including some of FIFA’s top executives doesn’t constitute “a few” in my book. And with the investigations continuing there is every reason to believe more arrests will follow. It’s true that Blatter has, so far, remained personally untouched by these sordid revelations. So, despite last week’s resignation, will he prove to be another “Teflon Man” or will Blatter too face the weight of justice at some point? By the way, Canada’s FIFA representatives, to their credit, did not vote for Mr. Blatter in Zurich. In addition, England’s Football Association (FA) had long called for his ouster. They too turned thumbs down on his re-election. He eventually won the election by default when his only challenger voluntarily stepped aside. His euphoria was short-lived! All of these developments occurred only days before the opening of the FIFA Women’s World Cup which is currently being hosted by Canada. It kicked off last weekend in six cities including Ottawa. This is the seventh such competition. The Canadian team, which opened its schedule with a 1-0 win over China at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium Saturday, is very hopeful of a medal. Ottawa is hosting Group B which includes Germany, Norway, Thailand and the Ivory Coast. Germany hosted the last women’s world cup in 2011 which was won by Japan. I want to make it clear this week that the scandal at the world executive level is no reflection on the actual sport of soccer. The truth is that soccer, or football as it is most commonly called, has never been stronger. It is for that reason that unscrupulous individuals have wormed their way into positions of responsibility for the express purpose of taking personal financial advantage of the billions of dollars that flow from the sport world-wide. Fortunately U.S. justice officials were able to get enough backing to take these people on and now others are following. Hopefully it will eventually lead to a clean-up that can only make the organization of the sport stronger. You have no doubt heard about an associated scandal surrounding the construction of venues for the 2022 FIFA World Cup (men’s soccer) in the small Persian Gulf nation of Qatar. Huge death toll Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of migrant workers have already died while building the $100 billion worth of infrastructure Qatar is constructing for the World Cup. That despite the fact Qatar, with its huge natural gas and oil reserves, is the richest nation per capita on the planet. Projections

are that more than 4,000 labourers, working in unregulated conditions, could die before the soccer venues are completed. The reality is that Qatar, a scorching hot nation year-round, does not have a suitable climate for hosting the World Cup. It is also well-known that the same kind of bribery and corruption now being alleged relative to certain FIFA officials is behind the awarding of the World Cup in both Qatar and Russia, where the next World Cup is scheduled in 2018. It’s too late to sort out the Russian situation apparently. But a litany of bribes and corruption relative to Qatar’s successful bid has already been widely reported. There is now an intense hue and cry for FIFA to pull the 2022 World Cup out of the oil rich state and award it to another nation. In the wake of the American-led probe and the laying of criminal charges, major figures in the game of football expressed fury about Sepp BlatNanas Naughty Knicker - poster 2015_Layout 1 17/04/2015 6:17 AM Page 1

ter’s “leadership” and the black eye the FIFA and Qatari scandals have given the sport. Some are suggesting the best way to totally end all of this is for the world’s greatest players, soccer phenomes such as Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo (both star in Spain’s top flight ‘La Liga’), to boycott the next World Cup. As a fan of the game I’m hopeful the planned prosecutions will result in some serious consequences for criminals masquerading as soccer officials. Hopefully ongoing investigations will unmask even more of these people worldwide. As for the aforementioned Mr. Blatter there’s little wonder he was forced to step down. I’m sure he is leaving in hopes the spreading stain of corruption won’t envelope him. Only time will tell.

Playing at the Smiths Falls

STATION THEATRE 53 Victoria Avenue

Football, or soccer as we call it in North America, is the biggest game in the world. There is no question about that. It’s often called “the beautiful game” and as a big fan of soccer I understand why. At its best the skill and the pure athleticism of those who play the game at its highest level is second to none! Unfortunately the management of football at the international level has been highly suspect for many years. Pending the outcome of some show trials which may happen during the next few years the true level of the greed and corruption among the top officials in the game could be confirmed. Scandal has gripped the sport recently. Matters came to a head with the arrest of several key members of the FIFA executive (in English FIFA stands for International Federation of Association Football) just as they were preparing for the organization’s annual meeting in Zurich, Switzerland on May 27. The United States Justice Department got matters rolling when officers arrested seven key FIFA members who will be extradited to the US to face a long list of corruption charges. A further 14 people were indicted and American authorities will also attempt to have them transported to the States. Soon after, Swiss authorities announced that country’s justice ministry has launched its own probe of FIFA; a multi-billion dollar enterprise which is charged with regulating the world’s most popular sport. It was already known that some FIFA folks have been dipping their fingers in the cookie jar and a very deep jar it is. Football generates an unbelievable amount of revenue annually. From 2011 to 2014 FIFA claims to have made an amazing $5.7 billion (U.S.). In addition to the 21 arrested or indicted at the end of May another four people from the organization have already entered guilty pleas to corruption charges. Among the four is ex-FIFA executive Charles Blazer who forfeited nearly $2 million when he pled guilty in 2013. Blazer is an American who held several high level FIFA posts. The charges against him related to payments (bribes) paid into offshore accounts during his days as a chief executive at CONCACAF, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Football Association. CONCACAF, one arm of FIFA, is in charge of the sport in North America. It would take a lot of space to provide complete details about the so-called “commissions” Blazer admits he received from sponsors, sale of television rights and ticket sales. The documents I read say he raked in more than $15 million from various sources. He was also very involved with a chap named Austin ‘Jack’ Warner from Trinidad and Tobago. Jack Warner was vice-president of FIFA and president of CONCACAF until his resignation in June 2011. Warner was one of those arrested on May 27. He’s charged with wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering and faces extradition to the US.

managing inventory of completed but unsold units – inventory that is still above historical average,” said Bob Dugan, CMHC’s chief economist. “CMHC also forecasts slight moderation in housing starts in 2015 and 2016, reflecting a slowdown in housing market activity in oil-producing provinces that will partly be offset by increased activity in provinces that are seeing the positive impacts of low oil prices.” CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in month-

ly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of Canada’s housing market. In some situations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading, as they are largely driven by the multi-unit segment of the market which can vary significantly from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 201,705 units in May, up from 183,329 units in April. The SAAR of urban starts increased by 10.8 per cent in May to 185,235 units. Multi-unit urban starts increased by 16.9 per cent to 126,367 units in May, while the single-de-

tached urban starts segment essentially held steady at 58,868 units. In May, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts increased in Atlantic Canada, Ontario and Québec, while it decreased in British Columbia and the Prairies. As Canada’s authority on housing, CMHC contributes to the stability of the housing market and financial system, provides support for Canadians in housing need, and offers objective housing research and information to Canadian governments, consumers and the housing industry.

The trend measure of housing starts in Canada was 181,231 units in May compared to 179,524 in April, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “The small increase in the trend was primarily driven by higher multiple starts in Ontario, the Atlantic region, and Québec. Despite month-to-month variation in multiple starts, CMHC expects builders will continue to focus on

LAWS participates in Perth Pet Valu’s successful pet adoption weekend This past weekend, Perth Pet Valu held their national adoption weekend in which LAWS participated. We were there with several animals up for adoption who all now have been adopted! A huge shout out goes to the team at Perth Pet Valu for their continual support of LAWS with their events. Additionally, in April Perth Pet Valu chose LAWS as their animal rescue of choice for National Pet Appreciation Month. At the end of that month, $2,331 was raised in funds with an additional $792.76 was raised in supplies.

What amazing community support! Thank you so much, Perth Pet Valu!

Global Pet Foods Kanata is located at 700 Eagleson Road, Kanata. We hope to see you there! Perth PAWS yard sale Last weekend, the Perth PAWS group held their annual yard sale. They were blessed with good weather, happy shoppers, awesome volunteers (without whom this event could not have happened) and generous contributors. This all resulted in a grand total of $2,010 with all proceeds going to LAWS. What a fantastic effort put in by our community partners. LAWS would like to take this opportunity to say thank you again to PAWS for continually supporting LAWS with their efforts.

Scott Moffatt, RVCA chair Lyle Pederson, and event emcee and part of the LiVE 88.5 Morning Start Up team Dave Schellenberg to celebrate the planting of the RVCA’s five millionth tree and the dedication of a red oak along RVCA’s Memory Lane. of idle land being converted back into thriving, treed landscapes. “We are grateful to our watershed municipalities for investing in our green infrastructure,” said Pederson. “The additional commitment from landowners and our business community is a reflection of our shared desire for a healthy, green sustainable watershed.” Jason Kelly, chair of the RVCF, agreed stating that a single tree can do so much. “It cleans the air, provides wildlife habitat and prevents soil erosion,” said Kelly. “Multiply that one tree by five million and

you will have some very significant long-term community benefits for a small investment. Thank you to all our partners and especially the generous donors who support our tree planting program.” These eastern Ontario tree planting efforts are steered by the City of Ottawa, Mississippi Valley Conservation, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Forests Ontario, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and hundreds of community-minded landowners.

The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is the recipient of the School Boards’ Co-operative Inc. (SBCI) Best in Class Health and Safety Award for the 2013-2014 school year. This award recognizes statistical performance based on the size of the board (small, medium or large), and means that the UCDSB had the lowest frequency for lost time and no lost time workers’ compensation claims for the 2013-14 school year compared to other large school boards in Ontario. According to the SBCI report, for the fifth straight year, the UCDSB has had a lost time frequency rate below the provincial peer group lost

time frequency rate. Nancy Barkley, UCDSB superintendent of business, says the success of the board’s health and safety program is due in large part to the continued leadership and efforts of the UCDSB’s joint health and safety committee, in particular its injury prevention initiatives and enhanced workplace safety inspections. “The human resources disability management team, which assists employees by providing meaningful work accommodations and workstation set-up and reviews also deserves credit for its contributions towards achieving this provincial statistical performance award,” Barkley says.

“Most importantly, this recognition is evidence that every Upper Canadian takes his or her responsibility for safety seriously. “In order to maintain and continue to improve our safety performance, it is important that the UCDSB continues to enhance its safety culture and accountability.” Submitted by Allison Grange, communications officer, Upper Canada District School Board.

School board wins health and safety award

There are many benefits of shopping local when purchasing your food. June 1-7 is local food week. To support local food producers and build on food safety skills, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has launched an online learning module specifically for vendors producing and selling food at farmers’ markets. “We recognize that farmers are very busy and that attending an in-class food safety course sometimes does not fit into a busy schedule. This online module takes about 35 minutes to complete and covers the basics that anyone producing and selling local food at farmers’ markets needs to know” and can be completed at their convenience. The module can be accessed on the health unit website at www.healtunit.

org under food safety/food handler training courses. Upon completion of this module and passing a short online quiz participants will receive a certificate. This module is the latest addition in online food safety learning modules offered by the health unit. Currently there is a food safety module for the institutional setting, which will benefit food handlers working in the long-term care, hospital and day care setting. In the near future another module focusing on food safety at special events is expected to be added. The food safety section of the website offers information on food safety for food businesses and those producing food at home. Submitted by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA), along with its valued funding, administrative and planting partners, celebrated the planting of their five millionth tree on May 28. This special tree is hidden among the more than 240,000 seedlings planted this spring throughout the watershed – somewhere in the more than 4,000 square kilometres of ground between the City of Ottawa and South Frontenac Township north of Kingston. “We are delighted to share this major milestone with our many municipal and community mindedfunding partners, landowners and staff who have been involved in the program since its launch in 1983,” said RVCA chair Lyle Pederson. “As someone who has been involved in the RVCA tree planting program – I can speak to the professional staff, impressive financial incentives and the many benefits the tree planting program offers.” This achievement was celebrated with a memorial tree being selected and dedicated on RVCA’s Memory Lane. Memory Lane trees recognize significant achievements or special people in the local conservation movement. Ottawa Coun. Scott Moffatt representing Mayor Jim Watson and Rob Keen, CEO from Forests Ontario joined RVCA chair Lyle Pederson and RVCF chair Jason Kelly, along with Live 88.5 morning show host Dave Schellenberg, who is Canada’s first and only carbon neutral radio station and a major sponsor of local tree planting. A thanks to the many, community-minded funding partners, more than $4.7 million has been raised to support tree planting since 1983 – much of these funds coming through the hard work of the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation (RVCF). The total value of the local reforestation effort including the landowner contributions is closer to $8.3 million and has resulted in more than 21 square kilometres (2,100 hectares)

The Lanark County 4-H Association held its annual Go For The Gold question-and-answer competition at the Beckwith Recreation Complex on Sunday, June 7. More than 100 young people took part, answering questions on materials, agriculture, food, community events, and more.. Above, Kyle White, at left, reclines during a more relaxed segment of the game, as Luke Ford listens to a question. Below, As Marcus Reynolds-Harpell looks on, Kyle White, right, challenges a question.

When it comes to garden centres consumers are confronted with many choices from small outlets to large box stores. Many offer trees, shrubs and paving stones with the lowest price being the primary focus, which ultimately leaves the consumer disappointed. Stoneworks Outdoor Solutions on Hwy 43 between Perth and Smiths Falls strives to offer their customers a different approach. Stoneworks aim is to provide the best quality products available for our customers and at competitive prices. Customers include both contractors who want materials they can stake their reputation on and homeowners who demand the best for their property. Stoneworks offers the full line of Permacon landscaping products. Permacon is Canada’s first choice for Landscaping Stone and all Permacon pavers offer a full 50 year warranty. No competitors in the industry offer consumers anything close to this level of peace of mind. Stoneworks sees an opportunity to change the live goods market. Most garden centers sell low quality small trees. The consumer who buys these trees ultimately goes years without achieving the shade or the estab-

lished look they desire. Stoneworks large caliper wire basket trees gives customers much larger, healthier and more attractive than your average store bought tree and are less expensive than you may expect. Prices range between 200-400 dollars for most wire basket trees. Well worth it to make a new home seem established on an empty lot or a homeowner who wants the enjoyment of a mature tree as soon as possible. With over 100 large wire basket trees on site Stoneworks typically has a tree that will suit your needs in stock. Stoneworks also carries a large variety of natural stone which is used as functional retaining walls or decorative stone features. They carry all the soils, aggregates and mulch necessary for your projects. At Stoneworks all bulk materials are actually sold by the yard. Other retailers sell material by the bucket often requiring 2-3 buckets to equal a single yard. Stoneworks carries only locally produced all natural cedar mulch which is better for our environment leaving a smaller carbon foot print than the other retailers who haul mulch in from Toronto and Quebec. For smaller quantities bagged mulch and soil is

available as is bulk lawn seed and a vast quantity of fabrics used for landscaping, erosion, weed barriers, septic systems and road construction. To remain competitive in the market Stoneworks sells all there geotextile fabrics at the same rate they are sold at in Ottawa, making them the most economical source for landscape fabrics in Lanark County. A quantity of shrubs and perennials are restocked biweekly and offer customers the freshest live goods available. The indoor landscape show room is full of gifts, crafts outdoor furniture and great ideas for your own projects. The staff are very familiar with the local industry and can connect you with some of the area’s premier contractors if you require assistance. Don’t hesitate to check out Stoneworks Outdoor Solutions right next to the KW Outdoor Power Sales Complex. There is an entrance at 6062 Hwy 43 and 6092 Hwy 43. With Stoneworks and KW outdoor power sales you have one stop shopping for all your yard and garden needs. Stoneworks is open Monday to Friday 8 am -5pm, Saturday 9-4 and Sunday 10am-2pm.

filled nights and welcoming community made her feel she had come home. “I was very fortunate to be let into that deep culture,” she says. Playing at ceilidhs with her lighthouse keeper (who was also a fiddler), she blossomed in the nurturing atmosphere, not only with her music, but also on stage with a local theatre group. When the relationship ended four years later, she took up residence in Halifax and made a name for herself at the Flamingo Club, playing Monday nights at the open mic. Thanks to support from CBC, she recorded her first, self-titled album in 1989. Baby career steps turned to self-confident strides when she recorded b’tween the earth and my soul in the St. Mary’s University Art Gallery. The stunning result ignited a blaze of radio and television appearances, a tour and a plethora of special performances.

mon. She began to play music at age 19, first teaching herself piano chords, then guitar. Her public debut performance occurred at Smale’s Place, the coffee house where she worked as a waitress, when she was invited on stage to sing a song with the headlining act. Around that time, she was writing poetry and, through a friend, met Governor General Award-winning poet, Margaret Avison, then writer-in-residence at the University of Western Ontario. “She was very encouraging,” recalls Smith. “Each time I went to visit her, I read a poem and she told me I was a wonderful writer. It was very informal, but she affected me.” Moving to Toronto in 1972, Smith embarked on the next leg of her voyage. She met a lighthouse keeper, and shortly after relocated to Cape Breton.

with Tony Quarrington, Terry Tufts and her long-time collaborator, George Antoniak. The year 2004 saw her join up with Cindy Church and Susan Crowe to form Brava. They toured major centres to great audiences and lovely reviews. Festival appearances included stops at the Canmore Folk Festival, Edmonton Folk Festival and Stanfest, just down the road from home in Canso, Nova Scotia. Smith soon embarked on new opportunities and adventures – she was blessed with an opportunity to perform the role of Marilla in Anne and Gilbert, the Musical during the summers of 2005 and 2006. During that period she also started at Acadia University working towards her Music Therapy degree. After taking a year off, in November of this year she returned to picturesque Wolfville, Nova Scotia to continue her studies at Acadia.

On Saturday, June 13, Nova Scotia musician Laura Smith takes to the stage at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street in Perth, accompanied by Paul Mills (Curly Boy Stubbs) on guitar, for the last show of the 2014/2105 series. In Laura Smith’s music, real emotions ebb and flow. Your heart is in her capable hands, and likewise, she has entrusted you with hers. As she sings, her strong, melodious voice waves and catches, snagging on a scar here and there, surfing on a wonder, staring down a riddle...As you listen, the two of you go along together; brave and surfacing; calm and inquisitive. Smith’s music is direct and honest. Sometimes, fiddles and guitars gently lift and carry her spirited vocals, while her melodies and careful poetry dig deep. “My work is all very simple, earthbased,” says the Maritime-based singer/ songwriter. Her work is not so much written, as painstakingly designed, cut and stitched together. “Like quilt craft,” she explains. “I make it body and soul, with everything I have available – my sensibilities, my ability to play. So many things come into the making of a song. When I say write, it limits what I bring to bear.” She has already experienced exhilarating career highs. Her 1994 album, b’tween the earth and my soul, elicited unbounded critical acclaim, enormous airplay, national television appearances and a hungry demand for live performances. From the stages of Denmark to Newport, Rhode Island to Vancouver to the Yukon, Smith has shared the secrets of her soul, laying out for rapt audiences her private, yet ultimately universal experiences. Born and raised in London, Ontario, Smith grew up loving horses, theatre and language. As a teenager, she found comfort in the voices of Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Ray Charles and Paul Si-

Nana’s Naughty Knickers delights Station Theatre audiences 4-H seeks memorabilia Nana’s Naughty Knickers continues this week at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls, wrapping June 14.

played by Christine Winter, within moments of meeting them on the stage.” The audience will also soon fall in love with the imaginative sets her designers and construction crew have created for her: the set itself deserves credit as one of the stars of the show. Mix in a love interest for Bridget in the form of Tom, the overly helpful police officer; a grumpy landlord intent on getting Nana evicted and his wife who turns out to be Nana’s best client, a sexy employee of Nana’s competition, as well as some hard working UPS delivery people and you have a recipe for mass confusion and laugh-out-loud moments that will leave audiences wanting more. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students (with ID), with special group rates also available. Call the Station Theatre at 613-283-0300 for details and to order by credit card. Tickets may be purchased for cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell Street East, online (smithsfallstheatre. com, via Paypal/Visa/Mastercard), and at the door for cash only (subject to availability, a half-hour before the performance). The Station Theatre, we remind you, is located at 53 Victoria Avenue, Smiths Falls. We invite everyone to keep in touch with our upcoming plays, movies and music series (like the concert to be performed by pop/soul musician Patrick Lehman on June 27) by going to our website (www. smithsfallstheatre.com) or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre).

Currently we are looking for memorabilia to display at 4-H events this coming year. If you have photos (we would scan originals and display copies), ribbons, trophies, record books, awards, pens, spoons, hats, shirts, pins or prizes given out at 4-H events, we would love to borrow them. They will be secure and well

AMMO R0013320116

It’s a bit of a romp for mature audiences. A night of fun based on the first principles of good farce: deception, miss-communication and a lot of slamming doors! We’re talking about Nana’s Naughty Knickers, written by Katherine DiSavino, directed by first-time director, Sheila Jasiak, and featuring a veteran cast – playing until Sunday, June 14, at the Station Theatre. First week audiences had a great time. “This is the most fun I’ve had at a theatre,” said one satisfied patron. “I laughed so hard I cried,” was the reaction of another we interviewed after the first act. There’s still plenty of opportunity to see the show and to have a photo taken in the lobby with the comical stand-up. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday. Bridget (Nicki Hayes) and her grandmother Sylvia, played by Emily Duberville, are about to become roommates for the summer. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favourite Nana in New York turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from her rent-controlled apartment, selling handmade naughty knickers to senior citizens in her neighbourhood. After the slow reveal – so to speak – the deception begins, with Bridget, Nana and Grannie’s friend Vera (who never quite gets it because of her deafness) desperately trying to keep their secret from the prying eyes of a constant flow of interlopers coming to the door. Director Sheila Jasiak adopted a sure-fire strategy for a first production: surround herself with the most talented actors, stage crew, designers and stage construction experts she could find and give them a wellwritten, funny play to work with. “Comedy is all about timing,” she says. “I have been heavily influenced by classic actors such as Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett. With these amazing artists in mind, patrons will have a good idea where I am going with Nana. I expect people will fall in love with Sylvia and her best friend Vera,

Spiritual trail is a lasting legacy from retiring faith leaders Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

A newly opened Spiritual Trail at the Salvation Army church offers residents the peace and tranquility Majors Malcolm and Faith Cameron will soon experience in their upcoming retirement. The public celebration of the new trail’s creation last weekend was in many ways a fitting final project for the couple who have spent the last four years dedicated to improving the lives of their Mississippi-Rideau congregation and community. “You can take some time to be on your own to reflect and pray. You can hear the birds and the squirrels,” reflected Malcolm. The Spiritual Trail is located in the back of their Brockville Street church property in Smiths Falls and features a figure eight trail lined with chipped wood. At intervals, Malcolm has built several praying benches in discreet corners of the trail where individuals or pairs can kneel down or sit comfortably and converse with each other or God. The couple say they hope their efforts to bring this service to the community will allow the church to embrace nature with outdoor services and programming. They are particularly passionate about introducing new programs for children. Our goal was “to open a door to which the community can say ‘we can do a youth program here’,” Malcolm said. They would love to see a range of programs available for every age group, including teens who would be offered the chance to become future community leaders. The Mississippi-Rideau Corps is taking its first steps in this direction this summer when they offer a July va-

The unveiling of this new spiritual resource last weekend is the last major project the couple will undertake before retiring at the end of this month.

It’s very down to earth,” Malcolm said. The region of Mississippi-Rideau Corps covered Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Perth and Smiths Falls where the Camerons have always found friendly faces and helping hands available to help with any project. “You get a real rich variety. Every area has its own character,” Faith said. While every appointment is unique, the humanity and caring that is found there is universal. The Camerons have personally lived this caring over the last couple of years when Malcolm suffered a series of medical surgeries. This past April he underwent surgery on his left hip and was physically unable to lead church. “I’m not used to having physical issues. This past two years have been quite the challenge,” Malcolm said. Without hesitation, the faith community pulled together to make sure church services at the Salvation Army Church went on as planned. Specifically, Rev. David Stead at the Smiths Falls First Baptist Church and leaders Ryan and Nichole Anderson of the Susan Shirley Program stepped in to manage the first two Sundays after his surgery. This example of living faith has made these people the Camerons friends and not just their peers. Farewell On Saturday, June 27 from 12 to 4 p.m. the Salvation Army Church on Brockville Street invites the community to come out and say goodbye to the Camerons. Their service on June 28 will be their final moment at the front of the congregation after 35 years of dedicated service. The Camerons are honoured to have Majors Fred and Wendy Waters, who serve in the Corps Ministries Department of the Salvation Army as honoured guests that day. Their association with this family started at the beginning of their education as Salvation Army leaders in 1979. Malcolm and Faith would meet in their summer training program in Sarnia that year where they also met the acquaintance of Fred Waters’ faSee MAJORS page P3

said. To do this, the corps has had to introduce new fundraising initiatives, including the upcoming Flag Day fundraiser. This June 26, 27, 29 and 30 in both Perth and Smiths Falls an outline of the Canadian flag will be at select storefronts. Patrons will be invited (for a donation) to sign their name in red ink to fill in the red bands on the side and the maple leaf. All funds will help support the community and family services programs offered at the corps. “No longer is Christmas enough as far as fundraising,” Malcolm said. Volunteers in Perth are needed. If you have a couple of hours to donate please call 613-2833563. The Camerons have completed an enormous amount of work in their four-year tenure, including moving both the Perth and Smiths Falls thrift stores into their current locations. “Also, we changed community and family services in Perth pretty dramatically,” Malcolm said. The Mississippi-Rideau Corps has gone through a Strategic Planning process aimed at strengthening their social service work to allow for more time to be allocated to congregational duties. Among the changes is the retirement of the food program and the drop in services. Today, the Salvation Army focuses on a client-centred system that looks at the roots of problems and how they can make lasting change. This includes conducting intake interviews, coaching clients and referring them to other community resources for resolution to their problems. In the midst of all this change, the Smiths Falls church underwent a complete renovation. This project was inherited by the Camerons upon their arrival in the summer of 2011. At that time the town was involved in mobilizing support for 640 Deer Lake evacuees who were living at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls. When they started the Camerons had set a goal of streamlining administration in their new community. “Smiths Falls has a lot of friendliness about it.

round then quarterfinals, and semi-final rounds, followed by the league championship. “Perth will see teams like Casselman in the regular season,” Abrams said in a phone interview on Thursday, June 4. “That will bring in some fans especially when Perth hasn’t had a chance to play a team like Casselman (EOJHL champs) in regular season.” Then there will be new rivals – like Perth and Westport. “We haven’t played them in an official league game for years and years,” McLean said. “May be as long as 40 or 50 years ago.” Other teams in the west division will be the Athens Aeros, the Brockville Tikis, Prescott Flyers, Renfrew Timberwolves, the Stittsville Rams and the Arnprior Packers. The eastern conference

will consist of the Ottawa West Golden Knights, Ottawa Canadians, the Clarence Beavers, Casselman Vikings, the Metcalfe Jets, Alexandria Glens, Winchester Hawks, and the Char-Lan Rebels. Abrams said there had been talk about forming a new league for about a year. “The members of the EOJHL have been discussing this for a while… the idea of partnering more closely with the CCHL and working as an affiliated league, but that with mostly with the Metro League. “As we were moving along in discussions, it transpired to include even more teams that we had originally planned.” More teams were interested in the affiliation, Abrams said. “It will be a full interlocking schedule.” The commissioner added this is a new league, and will be around for a while, not a contract with the CCHL. “This is it… it’s a new

league, not a pilot project,” Abrams said. “It’s the way it is. I’m sure there will be bumps in the road but we’ll work them out. It’s the start of something new and great and it’s a positive time.” SHOWCASE The showcase tournament is slated for Sept. 11, 12 and 13 and will include all 16 teams. Normally, this would be held in a town where two ice pads are available, but the commissioner said they worked the schedule to accommodate Perth and its single arena. “Michael (McLean) has really worked on marketing in that town,” Abrams said. “The games will be two 25-minute halves, so a 50 minute game, and that means when fans come to watch, they may want to stay and take in more than one game,” Abrams said. McLean is already working on the marketing aspect for

the big showcase weekend, and he’s made some contact with the Ottawa Senators. “I hope to get one of the guys down for a puck drop,” McLean said. “We’re really just starting to work out the details, but it’s going to be an opportunity to kick start this league – get off on the right foot. “It’s all about promotion of the new league and so far, the response has been great. It’s going to be a strong league in the valley. It’s a juggernaut for sure.” McLean said he’s also looking forward to working with White behind the bench. “Bill’s a veteran coach and bringing in the Almonte players will be great, as he’s coached them for three years already,” McLean said. Also joining the Perth bench will be Bryan Greer, who has more time to commit to the team this year as he wrapped up his tenure as the president of minor hockey.

Proposed Blue Wings sports club is moving on up Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The Perth Blue Wings’ sports club is moving on up, not necessarily to the east side, but rather to the upstairs of the arena. Speaking before Perth town council’s committee of the whole (COW) meeting on Tuesday, June 2, Blue Wings owner Michael McLean, said that the old Blue Wings’ dressing room was no longer the preferred option, since they had found “a better space upstairs, which I think is a good place.” He added that the new upstairs location was better for arena staff and for storage. “I don’t want to see it stalled for a year, because of a lack of decision,” said McLean. “We need to be building this shortly,” in time for the start of the 2015-16 season. “It’s a month of renovations,” said McLean of the anticipated timeline. Already, the team’s management is finalizing project renovations for the proj-

ect, but McLean hastened to add that he was aware that there were other groups that use the arena. “What is the best for all of the other groups?” he asked. “Where is the best place for this?” Whatever final space is selected, McLean said it would cost about $50,000 to renovate the room, where alcohol will be served. The club would only be open to Blue Wings season ticket holders and invited guests – accompanied by a ticket holder – and the money raised would go towards minor hockey programs in the area, for both boys and girls. The final decision will be made at the Tuesday, June 23 council meeting. “It’s our building. We’ve got to make a decision,” said Mayor John Fenik, conceding that no matter what decision is made, not all user groups will be happy. Chief administrative officer John deRosenroll said that “by working together, we can get a better community centre,” and that there was a meeting of user groups slated for this past June 3.

Municipal Connection www.perth.ca SUMMER GREEN BIN TIPS: Keep your “Green Bin” clean by: • Lining it with ﬂyers or newspaper to keep it clean; • Putting it out every week so food doesn’t sit in your bin too long and attract insects and animals; • Rinsing it weekly to reduce odours; • Placing it away from fences and deck railings to reduce animal exposure; • Keeping it in a cool, shaded spot in the summer to reduce its temperature and odour; • Do not place any plastic, glass or metal in your green bin; • Do not use plastic bags as liners; and • Do not place diapers or sanitary products in your green bin. Keep your “Kitchen Catcher” clean by: • Emptying it into your large green bin; • Rinsing it every day or two to reduce odours; and • Lining it with ﬂyers or newspaper.

CURBSIDE WASTE COLLECTION CONTRACTOR CHANGE: The municipality has completed a tender process for the collection of curbside waste, green bins and recycling and a new contractor will be assuming the role for a ﬁve (5) year term.

To date, they are the proud grandparents of three grandsons and one granddaughter with a second due this September. For the first six months of their retirement the Camerons don’t want to make any plans. “So we can figure out what it means to be retired,” Malcolm said.

Suspected algae bloom closes Rideau Ferry beach

• Faster moving water will dilute and move the toxins out of an area more quickly, further decreasing the risk to health. Each property will have a different water flow pattern, so a local assessment is useful to further assess risk. • Skin irritation is the first sign that the level of toxin is significant in the water, so if this occurs, it is important not to go in the water. A few more days will help to clear the water if it is moving well, unless another bloom has occurred. • The water in lakes and rivers always has the potential to be infected with bacteria, viruses and other microbes that can affect health. So it is important not to swallow the water. Young children are more likely to swallow water so it is critical to observe them carefully when in the water. • Be cautious about eating fish caught in water where a blue-green algae bloom has occurred. Toxins are concentrated in the liver. So avoid consuming the liver, kidneys and other organs of fish caught in an area affected by blue-green algae. Algae exist in nature; however, they rely on certain conditions to grow. While we cannot control many of these conditions, we can influence one of the factors that affect their growth that is the nutrients available to them. You can help reduce nutrient levels entering the lake by reducing the use of household fertilizers, agricultural runoff, and ensuring your septic system is in good working order. Residents are encouraged to contact the Spills Action Center at 1-800-268-6060 to report any new blue-green algae blooms. This way the location and number of blooms can be monitored.

The town’s official plan contained population projections that were more optimistically robust than those projected by Lanark County. “It was more the ministry,” that had problems with the town’s numbers, said Fenik. There has been “no change with that,” he said of the numbers. “We have not been able to budge on the population numbers.” As part of the settlement, the town has been “moving some of the land designated in excess of the current population projection,” and using population equivalents to make the numbers balance out, to areas where growth had not been anticipated to be as fast as in other areas.

A bloom of algae which looks like bluegreen algae has been seen at Rideau Ferry in Drummond/North Elmsley Township. The Leeds, Grenville, Lanark District Health Unit announced June 5 that the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has been notified. Blue-green algae blooms are a natural seasonal phenomenon that may appear in our lakes, rivers and ponds. Many of these blooms are relatively harmless; however, some species have the potential to produce toxins which may be harmful to people and animals. The presence of blue-green algae and its toxins can only be confirmed through a laboratory test, so we recommend taking a cautious approach when you suspect a blue green algae bloom.

Perth may get its own Senators Rink of Dreams desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth may be getting its own Sens Rink. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of Smiths Falls, which has an outdoor arena where its old hockey barn used to stand, Pierre Hofstatter, owner of the Perth Canadian Tire store on Highway 7, told town council last week that he would like to see a “world-class, four-season rink in the heart of town,” eyeing a spot at the old public works yard at 110 Wilson St. W. as a prime location. “It will be a source of pride in this community,” said Hofstatter. Part of the underlying reason for the Senators Foundation and Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart group wanting to get on board with this is because one in three Canadian children cannot afford to take part in sports. “We will be removing the financial burden from families,” said Hofstatter, during Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, June 2. He hoped that the parcel of land his group is eying could be purchased by the town from the county for the princely sum of $1. “The location is the perfect location for so many reasons,” said Hofstatter, including visibility, safety, and ease of access. Canadian Tire has said it will contribute $50,000 to the initiative, and will match all money up to $50,000. By way of example, half of the money needed for the Smiths Falls rink was fundraised in the community, and then local businesses contributed to the cause.

“We think it has been very positive (in Smiths Falls),” said Hofstatter. “We wish it had been done a year or two earlier.” Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder was on hand to give the project his blessing, as part of a wider commitment to build 20 such Sens Rinks in eastern Ontario and west Quebec. Five have been built so far, and it is hoped five will be built this year. “(We are) very interested in coming to Perth,” said Leeder. “This is part of our extended community… we don’t view this as just building a construction project in Perth.” Looking at how much a part of the community the rink in Smiths Falls has become, for example, “they have become social hubs,” said Leeder. “They are great places for kids to gather and get active.” Hofstatter admitted that issues like “maintenance is key,” and that “some kind of hut needs to get built,” but that, overall, “the objective is to keep kids active in the darker hours,” all year round. Plans for the Sens rink are in the developing stages right now, but while they do anticipate that the Perth rink will be a $250,000 investment, Hofstatter promised “to come back with a fulsome plan.” Getting community buy-in would be an important part of seeing this project through to completion, but also for seeing it as a success beyond the ribbon-cutting. “The more the community gets involved with it, the better they (the people) feel about it,” Hofstatter said. “It will look very similar to the one in Smiths Falls, but how the community comes together is different.”

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell joked that “unfortunately, I’m a Toronto fan,” but, save for that one choice in hockey team support, he was fully in favour of the rink, and promised to bring the issue up to county council, since they own the land that the group hopes to buy. “The indication is that the land would be available for us,” said Hofstatter, who spoke with the chief administrative officer of the county, Kurt Greaves, about the issue.

“When projects like this come along, it is a good time to be on council,” said Coun. Jim Graff. “This is a fantastic project.” Mayor John Fenik surmised about possibly fielding a town council team for the rink’s opening day, to which rink supporter Hugh Colton shouted out, “Suit up Mr. Mayor!” Coun. Jim Boldt agreed to play on the team too – but called dibs on goal.

LED street lights could bring significant savings desmond.devoy@metroland.com

New LED street lights proposed for Perth could net the town significant electricity and cash savings. The town has about 777 fixtures in its supply, and, if the green light – so to speak – is given to the “LED Streetlight Replacement Program,” could see the following savings: * Annual electricity consumption down 58 per cent (573,969 to 239,198 kilowatt hours, a difference of 334,671 kwh) * Annual electricity costs down 56 per cent ($113,338 to $50,155, saving $63,183.) * Annual maintenance costs, for a five year average, down 80 per cent ($39,166 to $7,833, a savings of $31,333.) * Total street light expenditures down 62 per cent ($152,504 to $57,988, a savings of $94,516.) * Average annual cost per fixture down 62 per cent ($196 to $75, a savings of $122.)

could be tapped in to that would defer about $82,076 from the cost, bringing it down to $544,790, or, roughly $701 per fixture. “Anybody who can get into this program should,” said Gibson in presenting his report to council. He advised quick action because, while he knows what the cost of electricity will be next year, his company is also anticipating a three per cent rise in hydro rates over the next five years. Using photographs supplied by the Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA), of the downtown core at night, Gibson said that “it is pretty dark,” and that his company’s LED lights were brighter. While there were concerns about the downtown core’s heritage fixtures, Gibson promised, “We use the poles and the arms and whatever decoration is on the pole. We just replace the head” keeping the heritage look of the fixture intact. “We would be replacing the whole of the head.” While the program still needs

Officially a real mom

’m not a hockey mom. I’m okay with that. In fact, as I watch some of my friends try to juggle hockey schedules and tournaments and regular life and job stuff, I am frequently thankful I don’t have to spend vast amounts of time in hockey arenas or on the road travelling to outof-town games and tournaments. The same could be said for competitive soccer and baseball and anything that requires reading complex schedules. Girlchild, as I’ve mentioned, is the Family Athlete. As such, she has introduced us to many things parents of sporty children must do, including much dropping off, picking up, waiting, driving and buying stuff. In her case it also involves the use of a lot of hair products because her sports tend to involve the need for pasting her hair to her head so it doesn’t move. I’m much better wielding hair nets than I ever expected to be, and I even volunteered for hair duty at a recent recital. At this time I would like to thank Brownies in the 1970s for teaching me how to braid. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a tournament. I covered some when I was a reporter in the 1990s, and during that time Groom-boy and I volunteered to be chaperones on a baseball sports exchange in Quebec. We didn’t have kids then, and as I recall we waited quite a while afterwards to have some. (I’m kidding. It was fun, in a terrifying way.) Girlchild is leading us into the competitive sports world, and on the weekend we attended our first weekend competition since the aforementioned exchange. Usually on weekends we are at home doing non-sporty things, such as reading encyclopedias and writing wordy theses about important things – like world peace. Ahem. I’m pleased to report I’m not the only newbie to the sport of gymnastics, and this competition taught me and some of the other newbies a lot about it. We actually can use some of the lingo now, and we were even recognizing moves that were being judged. In some ways it is a bit like watching figure skating. Okay...not really, but at one point, when a kid on an opposing team tripped after landing a flip, I commented to another newbie that he missed his triple axel. (I’m rearranging my reference points!) We also came to recognize one par-

ticular lift as “the hallway lift” based on a demonstration by some parents at the hotel. (It’s not called that, but that’s how I will remember it, I’m sure.) Another element is hair and costumes. Our girls’ hair was solid. I mean literally. It was not moving. No fluffies to be seen. And I’ve decided after watching this amazing competition that I simply must start wearing more sparkles. I like shiny things. Another aspect of this sports phenomenon is the social one. As a nonhockey parent, the hotel element was like being on a new planet that featured parades of excited girls going from room to room, elaborate synchronized swimming shows at the hotel pool, the aforementioned hallway demos and lots of camaraderie. There’s even an entire set of extra rules that we received when we checked in, complete with info about “quiet time.” I don’t usually see a list like that at conferences or on family vacations. The best part, though – the part that made me truly feel as if I had finally graduated into a whole new parenting level – was the day Girlchild competed and I spent almost 10 hours sitting on a bleacher in a hockey arena. I did it! I’m a real mom now! I was very proud of the fact I could barely walk at the end of the day. (More on back pain in a future column.) At least at this early stage this particular sport does not involve as much travel as some, so I should thank Girlchild for choosing something that hasn’t created scheduling chaos or generated the need for a clone, especially since Groom-boy works a later shift and commutes. The learning curve would probably be the same, though. Whether it’s flights or heats or round robins or whatever, I’m basically starting from scratch when it comes to sports. And there are a lot of rules. Thankfully most people are friendly when you’re new. Congrats to all the Saltos athletes on a great showing in Oakville. We had a wonderful time!

Taking the time to connect to the peace

he eye of the hurricane, they say, is a place of eerie calm. A copy of Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If-”, hangs in a bedroom in my grandmother’s house in County Longford in Ireland. As a 13-year-old boy lying there on the bed one morning, I read and re-read the lines of the poem, published in 1910 (the year my grandfather, Frank Boland was born), and thought two things – ﬁrst, some of the verses I was already familiar with, thanks to a partial recitation by Abe Simpson on, of all places, The Simpsons. The second was how beautiful the sentiments were, how hopeful, yet realistic and pragmatic, too. “If you can keep your head when all about you/Are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you/But make allowance for their doubting too,” go the opening lines. A recent visit from my father, and an old girlfriend’s birthday, if you can believe it, have gotten me thinking more and more about taking a moment, here or there, for sanity’s sake, to disconnect, and try to live out those wonderful, oh-

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says so-rare moments that we will remember as we feel our last breath approaching. Really, those memories, and the loved ones around us, will be all that matter on our final day. The Mother’s Day just past was a more difficult one than I thought it would be. It is the first since Mammy’s unexpected passing this past November. I can’t count the number of times I reflexively darted my hand out to pick up a Mother’s Day card at the store, saying, “Oh, I must pick up a card so I can find five minutes to jot something down and get it into the post so that Mammy can get it in- ” And then I quickly break off, and jerk my hand back as though it has just touched an open flame. It’s a card that will never get sent, now, for there is no one there to receive

In the Irish playwright Brian Friel’s 1953 play Philadelphia, Here I Come! set in the fictional village of Ballybeg, County Donegal, one of the strongest memories brought to life is of a fatherson fishing trip, a quiet afternoon on a lake, an almost “Rosebud” like memory of great significance for the son that, it turns out, the father hardly remembers at all. Thankfully, my peaceful, easy feeling memories (apologies to The Eagles there), are shared by my parents, respectively. In May of 1995, I came home from high school, and, much to my delight, found that I had the house to myself, for once. No siblings doing their Irish dance practice, no chores, no homework, at least until later.

Last week we had to take over 4,000 pounds of garbage to the dump and this is on top of our dumpsters. This had all come in about two days. The majority of this garbage is broken furniture or items too dirty to take into the store. On top of this are the bags of clothes, books and stuffed animals left out in the rain. We can’t sell these items, nor can we recycle

rainy afternoons at his mansion, Friar Park in Oxfordshire. Shortly thereafter, my mother came home and I can recall that, for once, I did not instinctively turn off the music. I let it play until the LP had run out and then, surprisingly, she did not start up another home project (the dinner, the laundry, a multi-hour monologue…) She put on a video of the 1989 HBO special Whoopi Goldberg Presents Billy Connolly. A more unlikely pairing you are never to see on stage, but, I remember how much she loved it, and I got quite a kick out of it too. And I remember, more than that, the peace of just sitting there with her, in the dark warmth, just enjoying her presence, a quiet respite from the day. I remember an earlier episode, on May 31, 1994, with somewhat shocking clarity. Don’t know why, except that, maybe, projecting back, it turns out that that was the birthday of Shelley Bujold, who would later become my college girlfriend.

them. Every item we have to take to the dump we have to pay to dispose of and this takes money away from those in the community we are here to help. When you are having your yard sales - if you couldn’t sell it for a dime that is a good indication we won’t be able to sell it either. If the dishes are chipped, the children’s books coloured in or torn we can’t sell them. Even

That day, the air was heavy with the electricity of a gathering storm over the skies of Brampton. The clouds were dark and heavy with rain as my school bus drove down Queen Street. I got off the bus, ran home and there was my father, alone in the house. My mother had taken my siblings out to Irish dance class, and I had the house alone with Daddy. Already, the start of a good evening. He had gotten hold a new album, Jeff Lynne’s Armchair Theatre album from 1990, which we sat listening to as he puttered around the house. Though he followed up with an album from Gilbert O’Sullivan, including my first listening of “Alone Again, Naturally” from 1972, the torrential rain had begun to fall, and all throughout the house became quiet and still and peaceful, the voids filled by beautiful music, as I enjoyed Daddy’s company. We need these moments. They fuel our soul. Like a camel who can store water in its hump, these moments of emotional clarity and beauty mean a lot, and, though short, can carry us a long,

more important please don’t leave us with boxes and bags left out in the rain. At both our stores we have deposit bins which accept bags and we have a small area for small boxes of breakable items. If it is full it is best to bring your donations during store hours. Items left in the open also are often stolen during the night or rifled through leaving us to clean up and probably needing to dispose of items spread in the dirt.

long way. On my final day living in Ireland in 2001, I was doing a lot of running around. My bags were packed in the hallway of the house in Ennis that I was sharing with “The Lads,” two engineers and a trainee pilot. I ran out onto Iniscarragh Street to the College Grove corner store and something stopped me. The sun was bursting through some cloud and I turned my head slowly to the left and beheld a beautiful rose, hanging over a neighbour’s fence. Its pink hue was magically backlit and morning raindrops still clung to its soft surface. I leaned in, and my nose drank in the smell. I close my eyes, and I am right back there. The late American monologist Spalding Gray wrote that every vacation needs a perfect moment. I found mine, the feelings from which still bubble to the surface from time to time, in 2005, sitting on a beach on Inis Mor, the largest of the Aran Islands in Galway Bay. An uncharacteristically sunny day, I let my body sink into the white sand, the warm sun on my face, and peace

swept over me. A series of frantic phone calls from Galway and Dublin back home to Brampton that week had kept me up to date on the stroke that my mother had just had. “Stay where you are,” was the message from my brother and sister. But I couldn’t help worrying, feeling helpless so many thousands of miles away. A job at a new newspaper I had tried to secure in County Clare had fallen through and, having just graduated from York University, I started out into the stormy waters, not knowing what my next move would be upon my return to Canada. But then there was that moment. I never wanted to leave. All was peace. It would be all right. Not easy. But it would pass. Michael Jackson may have urged us to “Make that change,” but to that we can add, “take the time” to take a moment. Connect to the wider power, whatever form it takes.

Remember that time Perth native Rebekah Nitschmann swam 14 kilometres in Silver Lake? She took on the chilly challenge last summer in an effort to raise money for her varsity swim team at the University of Prince Edward Island. She ended up raising $3,000, which helped her team’s travel and competition costs. This summer, the now-varsity-swimcaptain will return to the shores of Silver Lake. She once again plans to swim the distance for her team, but she’s adding another purpose to her charitable roster. This year, Nitschmann will donate half of her funds raised to Farmers Helping Farmers. Her varsity team has partnered with the growing organization, which was launched by PEI farmers to help farmers by bringing them veterinary care, medical care, school supplies and other resources for families in Africa.

Nitschmann’s proceeds will help the organization’s goal to buy water tanks for families in need. The rest of the money will support her swim team so they can meet all their travel expenses and equipment costs. If you want to donate to Rebekah’s challenge, which will take place Sunday, July 19, you can give her a call at 613-326-8075 or send her an email at rebekah.nitschmann77@gmail.com.

Scholarship opportunity WHEN YOU CAN †

The Friends of the Tay Watershed Association in partnership with the Little Stream Bakery of Glen Tay announced this week that the closing date for applications for the $1000 Water Guardian Scholarship has been extended to Friday, June 12, 2015. The Water Guardian Scholarship was initiated in 2011 when two scholarships of $500 each were generously funded by donations from the Royal Bank of Canada and the Tay River Legal Defence Fund. Awards that year were made to Augusta Lipscombe of Jasper and Eli Crapper of Westport. Lipscombe, a student at St. John Catholic High School went on to study Marine Biology at the University of Guelph. Crapper completed his studies at Perth and District Collegiate Institute and entered the Health Sciences program at McMaster University. In subsequent years, scholarships have been awarded to Laura Symons of PDCI (2012), Josh Bowes of PDCI and Daniella Northfield of Smith Falls District Collegiate Institute (2013). Beginning in 2014, with the generous support of the Little Stream Bakery of Glen Tay, the decision was taken to award a single scholarship of $1,000. Derek Oliver of PDCI, the first winner of this award, has applied it to his continuing studies in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at MacDonald Campus of McGill University. The 2015 Water Guardian Scholarship is open to graduates of a high school in the Tay Watershed who intend to follow a full-time, post-secondary (college or university) diploma or degree program in environmental sciences or a related discipline. Notices have been posted and application forms made available at each of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, Perth and District Collegiate Institute, St. John Catholic High School in Perth and the Granite Ridge Education Centre in Sharbot Lake. Applications should be submitted to the school official coordinating bursaries and scholarships, no later than Friday, June 12, 2015. For further information, contact Frank Roy, 613-264-8856; e-mail: friends@tayriver. org Submitted by Friends of the Tay Watershed Association.

Foodsmiths hosts charity dog wash, microchip clinic Saturday peppermint shampoo and given doggie treats, both donated for the event by Foodsmiths and their valued product suppliers. New this year, the Microchip Clinic will be run by Vet Technician Barb Morse, who has volunteered her time and skill to help out an excellent cause. Microchips are about the size of a grain of rice, and are usually implanted in the back of the animal’s neck, just under the skin. They are safe, and a great way to ensure that your pet is registered with owner information accessible to animal shelters, animal control ofﬁcers, and veterinarians, who routinely look for microchips to return lost pets quickly. As well, Kat Durant, professional photographer, will be on hand to take a fun, funky picture of your pet in a beach themed backdrop. A minimal fee will get you a link to the photos that you can download in high resolution for

printing, posting, or using on your desktop or mobile. Mel’s Farm All Animal Rescue is a “not-forproﬁt” rescue organization created by Melanie Young and a network of supportive friends. They are often the last resort for animals that have no options left. They accept animals of every description from Lanark County and surrounding area, regardless of age, health or temperament. This vital service depends on the generosity and support of contributions through local fundraising like the Charity Dog Wash, but as Mel puts it, “All creatures great and small deserve a chance at a life with love, respect, and a full belly at the end of the day.” A donation by Red Wolf Pet Food, and Castor and Pollux Pet Food, is going to help with the adoption of Lucy, a 12 year old beagle who was rescued from a Quebec pound and brought

to Smiths Falls, where she is being treated for a heart murmur. Lucy will remain in the care of Mel’s Farm and her foster parents to spend her last remaining days showered with love, good food, and excellent care. As well, Foodsmiths BYOB “Bring Your Own Bag” Program will also raise funds for Mel’s Farm throughout the month of July. The BYOB Program is Foodsmiths most successful “green” initiative to date. For every plastic bag saved from landﬁll, Foodsmiths donates 10¢ to local charities to raise funds and awareness. Since it began in 2005, this BYOB program has diverted well over 100,000 bags from landﬁll sites and continues to raise between $350-$500 per month for local charities. For more information about the Foodsmiths Charity Dog Wash, visit the event page on Facebook, or call the store at 613-267-5409.

The Hungry Planet returns to Perth Mark your calendars June 13 for the return of one of Perth’s all-time favourite restaurants – The Hungry Planet. The Table Community Food Centre, and Community Chef Judy Dempsey are busy working to bring you, for a limited time only, some of the most sought-after items from the fabulous menu of the Hungry Planet while raising funds to support our community meals program. On June 13, (another event was held June 6) Dempsey will be cooking up a storm with the help of some of the other chefs from the Perth area. Remember her Pad Thai, that authentic Thai street food featuring a tangle of slender rice noodles, stir fried with traditional flavours – sour, sweet, salty and spicy – and including Tamarind, tofu, bean sprouts, fish sauce, Thai pickle, peanuts, egg, garlic, green onions and lime. How about the Santorini Sandwich featuring marinated grilled chicken, herbed feta, chickpea spread, Roma tomatoes, red onion and ripe olives on a crusty focaccia bun? Other dishes will include the ever-popular Border Farm lamb burger (with fresh mint, garlic and green onions), souvlaki, ham and brie or the Malaysian noodle bowl. All main dishes are $25 for this fundraiser and there will be specials as well some desserts and salads. Remember that we can accept cash only for these events. The pop-ups will run from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on each day and service will be take-out only. Everything will be made fresh highlighting local ingredients as you would expect from The Hungry Planet. 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. Avoid the line-up and place your order in advance by phone. Orders can be placed until noon on the Friday by calling 613-326-8593 and leaving a message. The full menu and other details will be available at (www.thetablecfc.org) and “The Hungry Planet Pop Up” Facebook page closer to the dates. 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 2014 The Table served almost 9,000 community meals to over 400 individuals. The Table Community Food Centre works to increase access to healthy food in a man-

PDCI’s Braiden Nichols is second best ‘shot’ in the province citing team next year.”

ljweir@metroland.com

Braiden Nichols earned a silver medal at the OFSAA track and ﬁeld championships last weekend at the Varsity Centre, University of Toronto. The Perth and District Collegiate Institute junior girl tossed 13.06m for the silver medal. “(Her) hard work over the past number of months really paid off,” said a proud coach Justin McNamee. Nichols also competed in the junior girls discus and is now the ninth best in the province. Abby Brandon ﬁnished a strong seventh in senior girls javelin with a throw of 35.53m. Senior boys hurdler Mathew Ferguson was 10th in the 110m distance tying his personal best time of 14.47.

At ST. JOHN St. John Catholic High School’s Teagan Retty competed in his second OFSAA track and field meet running in the senior boys 400m and set a PB as well as a new school record of 49.81. “It is a terrific accomplishment for an athlete who only took up this event in a serious manner 10 weeks ago,” said coach Dominic Marando. Retty began his track career in Grade 9 as a 3000m runner, but as he got older, stronger and faster he transitioned from the 3000m to the 800m and, eventually, to the 400m. “This is actually a fairly significant transition for a track athlete because each race is vastly different, each requiring a different skill

Canadian Tire announces new junior clubhouse at the Perth Golf Course

In its continuing commitment to involve kids in sports, Pierre Hofstatter, owner of the Canadian Tire in Perth, has provided a new clubhouse to the junior golfers at Perth Golf Course. The official opening of the new clubhouse was Saturday, May 30th. In 2014, Hofstatter approached the four owners of the Perth course to put lockers in place for the junior members, so they would have a place to safely store their clubs. This initiative was extremely well received and has since evolved. Given Canadian Tire’s commitment to youth sports through its Jumpstart program, the new clubhouse was a perfect fit for the community. “I approached the owners this spring and asked if I could build a proper clubhouse for the junior golfers as not only a place to store their clubs, but so then they could have their own space like the adults,” explained Hofstatter. “My wife Robyn and I are providing the clubhouse to encourage the youth of our community to be involved in healthy activities and sport. Now in its 10th year, Jumpstart is a national charity with a commitment to local communities. Although national in scope, Jumpstart is local in focus. It helps kids participate in organized sports and/or physical activities by assisting with the costs associated. “Canadian Tire is committed to increasing participation from young people in all sports, including golf, through its Jumpstart program,” said Hofstatter.

“The opportunity to do something for young golfers in the area, and to really excite the community was too good to pass up. Jumpstart can help kids that may not be able to afford the cost of getting started with golf.” Canadian Tire in Perth will own the clubhouse, and provide access to all junior golfers in town at no cost. The course is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2015, and although it’s spending the year celebrating the past, it’s also looking towards the future. “We know there’s been stories out there about the decline of junior participation in golf, but we’re not seeing that. In fact, we’ve been thrilled at the response so far,” explained Rob Knights, vice president of operations for Thunderbird Management Services Inc. (TMSI), Perth’s management company. “We wanted to do something special for our juniors, and for the community, and we think this is a great start.” Junior golfers can securely leave their clubs at the golf course at all times, and, for those under 16, they can bike or even walk to the course. “Kids are really going to love the space,” said James Paterson, director of golf for Perth. “It’s a great spot for them not only functionally, but also to be able to relax with friends before and after a round.”

Pierre and Robyn Hofstatter, owners of Canadian Tire in Perth, have provided the Perth Golf Course with a new clubhouse – for junior golfers. The facility officially opened on Saturday, May 30. The Perth Golf Course, located at 141 Peter St., is celebrating 125 years in 2015.

Is there anything sacred anymore? For years researchers have stressed that people are not getting sufficient calcium to build strong bones and prevent osteoporosis (brittle bones). But now a research report claims that calcium supplements increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, a largely unknown vitamin can prevent this tragedy. Dr. Ian Reid and his colleagues at the University of Auckland, Dr. Gifford-Jones New Zealand, studied 14,000 women who were taking 1,000 mg (milligrams) of calcium daily. They report in the British Medical Journal that these women showed a 31 percent increased risk of coronary attack, stroke and death. This means 14 extra heart attacks, 10 more strokes and 13 more deaths over a two to five year period than women not taking calcium pills. Why does this happen? Dr. Reid says that people look on calcium supplements as a natural remedy. But that is not the case as the supplement has a different effect on the body than dietary calcium. His studies show that when people take calcium pills, their blood calcium level shoots up for four to six hours to the top end of the normal range. This may result in calcium being deposited in coronary arteries. It does not happen with dietary calcium since food is slowly absorbed. This is shocking news as, unlike some supplements, there’s never been a major controversy about taking calcium. So should North Americans stop popping calcium pills? Not so quick, says Dr. Dawson-Hughes, Director of Tuft’s University Bone Metabolism Laboratory, in Boston. She points out that there were 143 heart attacks in the calcium group and 111 in the placebo group not taking this supplement. Not a huge difference. Hughes adds that the most glowing error was not including studies where calcium was taken along with vitamin D. For instance, the Women’s Health Initiative, a major New England study, showed that taking calcium along with vitamin D had no effect on the risk of heart attack or stroke. According to Dr. Dawson-Hughes, on no occasion should calcium be taken without also taking vitamin D, as this vitamin is crucial to putting calcium into bone where it should be. But does taking vitamin D solve the problem? Not so fast again, says Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue, an expert on natural health remedies. In her book “Vitamin K2 and The Calcium Paradox”, she reports that calcium must remain in the bones just as gasoline belongs in the tanks of our cars. And that there is a safe way for both sexes to take calcium supplements to prevent osteoporosis without succumbing to heart attack. Unlike most physicians, Rheaume-Bleue says it’s not saturated fat and cholesterol that cause heart attacks. Rather, the culprit is a lack of the little known vitamin K2. She agrees that Vitamin D is necessary for the intestinal absorption of calcium. But once in the circulation, D lets calcium, like a raging bull, run wild, allowing it to be deposited in the heart, thus causing an increase in coronary attack. She says vitamin K2 fights the nation’s number one killer by putting calcium into bones and teeth where it belongs and keeps it out of arteries. For instance, if calcium enters the wall of the aorta, the largest artery that carries blood to the rest of the body, this causes increased risk of rupture and sudden death. Most people get adequate amounts of vitamin K1 present in leafy vegetables, green tea and soy beans. But many lack K2 because its major source is steamed and fermented sticky soy, not an enticing breakfast meal. The second best source is cheese. All researchers believe it’s best to get calcium from dietary sources. But if a dietary deficiency exists, don’t stop calcium supplements as it’s now possible to protect bones from osteoporosis and your heart from calcium infiltration. Rather, make certain you take 3,000 milligrams of vitamin D along with 100 micrograms of vitamin K2. It’s available R0013326396_0611 in most health food stores.

• Is there a main hydro line that is within a distance that it could be damaged when the tree falls or is felled? If there is, you should call Hydro at 1-888-664-9376. Hydro will only attend to this if it will interfere with the main line. If it is the secondary line that leads to your house that will be affected, it is your responsibility. • If there are no hydro lines in the vicinity, is the tree in the Township’s right of way (ie, within approximately 15 feet of the centre line?) If you are not certain, Public Works will take a look to help determine this. Public Works can also provide contacts for licenced tree removal services. It is the responsibility of the property owner to maintain trees on private property.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, this week expect to gain a better understanding of things that have confounded you in the past. Someone comes into your life to play the role of teacher. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Fun conversations with a friend prove to be a great way to start your week, Taurus. Things will continue to progress on a positive note throughout the week.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, others are sure to take notice of your work ethic and impressive accomplishments this week. If you keep quiet, recognition may pass you by. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, stay true to your faith this week. Don’t feel you have to change to fit in with the masses. Uniqueness is to be prized, and your faith can guide you.

It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the peaceful passing of Ian McKenzie McIntosh on June 1st, 2015 at the age of 93, while in the loving hands of caregivers on the 5th floor at the Ottawa General Hospital in Ottawa, Ontario, and with his two sons by his side. Ian was a loving and devoted husband to his wife of 58 years, Kathleen (Kay) Mary Margaret McIntosh (nee McCartin) ( July 4, 1924 – February 13, 2011 ) and the proud father of two sons Stewart (Penny) of Chelsea, Quebec and Blair (Chantal) of North Hatley, Quebec, who will forever miss him. Ian will be sadly missed by his brother David (Vivian) of Brighton, Ontario and by his four grandchildren Landyn, Tanisha, Nilan and Robyn. He will also be missed by all his nieces, nephews and many friends. Ian was predeceased by his sister Mary (Kenogami, Quebec) and brothers Robert (Kingston, Ontario) and Donald (Kenogami, Quebec). Ian was born and raised in Kenogami, Quebec, where his father Donald and mother Rachel (Kerr) had emigrated from Scotland at the turn of the century, and where his father worked as an accountant at the Price Brothers Pulp and Paper mill. At the outset of World War II, Ian enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and was stationed in Newfoundland, where he helped to ready Canadian aircraft for the war in Europe. Following the war, Ian attended Sir George Williams University and McGill University in Montreal, where he graduated in 1953.

CHANT, HOWARD-GUPPIE - In loving memory of our father, grandfather and great grandfather, who passed away three years ago on June 11, 2012. When I’m Gone When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile Just forget if you can that I ever frowned and remember only the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; remember some good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartache and remember I’ve had loads of fun. Forget that I have stumbled and blundered and sometimes fell by the way. Remember that I have fought some hard battles, and won, ere the close of the day. Then forget the grief for my going I would not have you sad for a day. But in summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay. And come in the shade of the evening when the sun paints the sky in the west. Stand for a few moments beside me and remember only my best. Sadly missed but not forgotten by his family and friends

for June were: Brian Bellevue, first; Anneke Phillips-Wilson, Carol Stanley, Patiann Baigent in a three-way tie for second; and Marcia Phillips, third. The topic for June is “Beauty in the Details” (a close-up of a flower). This is the last contest until we resume meeting in September. Make a note if you wish to participate in the Déjà vu contest. You are reminded to take your third photo around Aug. 1. This photo has to be taken at the same location you have selected on the first of April, June August and October. The object of the contest is to demonstrate the changes over the season. See page 9 of the yearbook for details. Our annual plant sale took place on May 23. Although sales were down, enthusiasm was high. Thank you to everyone who helped with a dig at Darlene and Joe’s, those that donated plants and all of the volunteers that donated their assistance and time. Thank you again to the legion for donating the use of their hall. Our first judged flower show will be held at the June meeting. Please see pages 10 through 12 of the yearbook for the divisions and classes. Note that Division ll, designs, has two types of design as well as a Novice class, those not having entered and won previously. There is a guide available for $6 at our Seed and Read Table each meeting. This will guide you in meeting the standards and also contains the definitions used in our flower shows. Do not hesitate to speak to Kathleen at the meetings or call her at 613-667-1265. Kathleen is very experienced in showing and is also a Master Gardener with one of her mandates being to help others in horticulture matters. We had a good turnout for this year’s public garden planting at the library and legion. Many hands make (somewhat) light work. Thanks to all who volunteered, Anneke for leading the pack and Reid for picking up the plants for us. Walk around downtown sometime to admire the results. Our Garden of the Month selected for May is located on the corner of Chambers and Elmsley Street South. This well maintained garden is at the home of Sharon and Murray Boyce. It has been under consideration for some time as it was improving over the last few years. Congratulations, Sharon and Murray. We have been receiving nominations for the past few weeks and thank those in the community for their interest and response. Each garden nominated will be considered along with others in town. Nominations can be submitted to Charles at 613-283-1470 or the website shown at the end of the article.

Ontario is taking steps towards giving municipalities the option of using ranked ballots in future municipal elections. As outlined in the 2014 mandate letter, the province is reviewing the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 to explore how ranked ballots could be implemented by municipalities across the province. Ranked ballots allow a voter to rank candidates in order of preference instead of voting for a single candidate. The option to use ranked ballots would give municipalities an alternative to the current municipal voting system. There are 444 municipalities in Ontario. “Municipalities should have more choices in how to run their elections, including the option of using ranked ballots to elect their mayors and councillors. We are looking for Ontarians’ views on how well municipal elections work and how they can be improved,” stated Ted McMeekin, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The Municipal Elections Act is reviewed following each municipal election, and in addition to considering ranked ballots, the review will also assess whether the rules about electing municipal leaders are clear and simple and whether the Act reflects how modern campaigns and elections should be run. To that end, the review will evaluate the current effectiveness of rules about cam-

At the same time, a working group made up of municipal clerks, municipal representatives and ranked ballot advocates will provide the government with advice on how to make ranked ballots work best in Ontario. Allowing more choice in municipal elections is part of the government’s economic plan to build Ontario up. The four-part plan includes investing in people’s talents and skills, making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history, creating a dynamic and innovative environment where business thrives, and building a secure retirement savings plan. “This is truly an historic moment for Ontario. Ranked ballots make local elections more fair, diverse, inclusive and friendly. I applaud the province’s efforts to give municipalities the option of using ranked ballots,” said Dave Meslin of Unlock Democracy. No public comments on this will be accepted until July 27 and no Canadian jurisdiction currently uses ranked ballots. Submitted by the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Monarchs ruled at Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ Spring Gathering A monarch of the insect variety ruled at the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ (MVFN) 2015 Spring Gathering at the Almonte Civitan Community Hall on May 21. More than 130 people gathered for the sixth annual dinner, awards ceremony and presentation, Mysteries of the Monarch Butterfly. The Almonte Civitan was a flourish of butterflies, spring wildflowers and brilliant butterfly and spring colours of green, orange and yellow sprouting from sparkling glasses, thanks to the design inspiration of MVFN members Lucy and Neil Carleton. An interesting educational display on butterflies was created by Neil, as well. The large group mingled and met with friends as much interest and excitement was generated by the Burnt Lands Alvar silent auction fundraiser, organized by Bob and Cheryl Smith and the alvar campaign committee. Amongst the items: a basket loaded with everything needed to create a monarch butterfly garden with a young child! Thanks to the generosity of club members and local community gardeners, birders, artists, business owners, and of course successful bidders, the Burnt Lands Alvar fundraiser was a resounding success. Following a delicious dinner by Civitan volunteers, awards presentations began with MVFN past president Ken Allison as master of ceremonies. Friend and Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) co-board member, Mary Vandenhoff, presented an MVFN Champion for Nature award to Howard Clifford, MMLT president and co-steward of the ‘Cliffland’ nature preserve and Blueberry Mountain.

wintering grounds of the Monarch butterfly in Mexico. In an inspired presentation, Jean told the story of the Monarch, the only butterfly to migrate, with the eastern North American ones migrating to Mexico and back each year. Now they are on their way back – the ‘great grandbutterfly’ descendants of the ones

that left here last fall. Almost here now – out of Mexico they follow spring weather and healthy milkweeds through the southern United States (where native milkweeds grow in early spring but then die off), progressing northwards to our area. Once here, several generations last-

ing only a few weeks are born, but in August those born will live for nine months. During that time the same individuals seen here will fly to the mountains of Mexico using staging grounds such as Point Pelee to cross large lakes, live See MVFN page 50

the sun, magnetic fields, etc.? Originally a tropical species, it is thought that 10,000 years ago the species came north as glaciers melted and they now must migrate. Also a mystery: why one location in Mexico, El Rosaria, is the choice overwintering ground, chosen first over others. Between Monarchs and milkweeds, a delicate relationship exists. Eggs must be laid on only certain milkweed species; the only plants the caterpillar can eat. The adult chooses plants with enough, but not too much, toxic cardenolides (which is sequestered to make the Monarch toxic to prey); plants are evaluated carefully using receptors on the legs and antennae. Loss of wildflower habitat (nectar species for the adults) in the US where millions of hectares are planted with corn and soybean for biofuels, pesticides such as the neonicotinoids, loss of the critical milkweed hosts, threats to the integrity of overwintering grounds, and climate change, all threaten the Monarch. Efforts in the southern US to plant certain milkweed species are now known to backfire because unlike native milkweeds, some species do not die off and the population’s movement north and its subsequent migration (which keeps the population healthy and lowers diseases) may not take place. Protecting milkweed and preserving pesticidefree wildlife space here helps the butterfly. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

Festival recreates Perth mysteries and history all summer long

Photo courtesy of Jean-Denis Labelle

The popular Perth through the Ages theatrical historic walking tour returns this summer, beginning June 24 with a new story featuring a Nancy Drew-inspired character, as well as a Friday night Lonely Ghosts Walk starting July 10.

larities between the Perth of 1930 and that of 1830-40s: both were marked by economic desperation and poverty, towns dealing with the ill effects of alcohol consumption, and social structures in which women were often treated as second class citizens. Ann wants her story to be told, and Nora, motivated by reading the first in the Nancy Drew series, is ready to tackle the challenge. Ann guides Nora through the streets of Perth, describing life as she knew it in the early days of the military settlement. They run into a series of significant historic buildings as well as characters including Malcolm Cameron, founder of the Bathurst Courier (now the Perth Courier) and William and John Bell (the sons of the stern Presbyterian Minister William Bell, a Calvinist who played a major role in the early years of Perth). Also appearing will be Mary McMillan, a former servant girl, then the wife of Captain Alexander McMillan, Roderick Matheson’s best friend. The murky legal waters of another of Perth’s founding denizens, Daniel Daverne, lies at the heart of The Lonely Ghosts Walk, which will start each Friday at the Classic Theatre Festival (54 Beckwith Street East, at Harvey) and traverse through the historic Burying Ground, Court House, the Red House (Adamson’s Inn), the Morris store, the King’s Stores, and McMartin House. Along the way, a modern-day tour guide

and descendant of Daverne is suddenly transported back in time to Perth’s early years, when her ancestor was, he felt, unjustly disgraced. Daverne faced charges of embezzlement and abuse of government powers as he tried to administer the complicated and conflicting demands placed upon him as superintendent of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville and Carleton Counties. The elder Daverne seeks to clear his name so that he can find peace and curtail his ghostly wanderings. To do that, he feels he must confront scions of Perth’s early history, including Rev. William Bell, Roderick Matheson, and his superior officer, Colonel Francis Cockburn, among others. Fans of compelling theatrical recreations of local history will enjoy both events, told through the stories of redemption written and directed by Laurel Smith, with research by Susan Code McDougall, and starring Sean Jacklin (who played in last year’s walking tour), as well as Morgan MacDonald, Vivian Masswohl, Anna Stewart and Emily Richardson. Tickets to Perth through the Ages and The Lonely Ghosts Walk are available online at www.classictheatre.ca or by calling 1-877-283-1283. Ticket prices are $15 for adults or $12 for Classic Theatre Festival ticketholders. Children receive 50 per cent off. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival. R0013298300

This summer marks the 85th anniversary of the Nancy Drew series of fictional mystery novels. With that in mind, the Classic Theatre Festival’s annual theatrical walking tour, Perth through the Ages, kicks off a new story in the town core that features a character who is inspired by the teen detective’s spunky smarts and fearlessness. Building on the success of last year’s Perth through the Ages story, “The Preacher and the Leading Lady,” this year’s hour-long presentation, staged by the festival’s youth theatre training project, features upcoming talents performing Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. from June 24 to Aug. 30. In addition, the troupe will also perform a new family-friendly Friday night event, The Lonely Ghosts Walk, beginning July 10 at 8 p.m. The daytime tour, which begins at Matheson House (the Perth Museum, 11 Gore Street East), is set in 1930, when 19-year-old Nora Shaw (the NancyDrew like character) is packing up her family’s belongings as the house is set to be sold and become a tea room. She is distracted, however, by a haunting tune coming from the garden, where she eventually meets the ghost of Ann Glascott, a nursery maid who was once employed by the Honourable Roderick Matheson, leading to a scandal that rocked the town.

Bernie’s two Chevrolets represent two milestones in the history of this make, long the best-selling car in America (remember Dinah Shore on TV singing “See the USA in your Chevrolet…”).

His 1949 Chevrolet represents the first year of the new generation of postwar cars from Chevrolet, and his ’53 hardtop represents the first year of the second generation of postwar cars from Chevrolet. The 1949 Chevrolet came from the factory with a curved 2-piece windshield (which Bernie later replaced with an Olds one-

piece windshield). Bernie’s ’53 Bel Air is the first year that Chevrolet came from the factory with a curved one-piece windshield. With the publication of this story, we are hoping to learn the identity of the Toronto doctor who bought Bernie’s ’53 Bel Air brand new. Stay tuned! I’m always looking for more stories.

Bernie LeBlanc was born in 1941 and lives today in St. Catharines, Ontario, with his wife Sheila. When Bernie was a teenager in New Brunswick, his first car was a 1941 Chev coupe purchased from his uncle for $50. The windshield wipers were worn out, and whenever Bernie drove somewhere on a rainy day, he “borrowed” the wipers from his dad’s 1951 Pontiac. Sometimes he forgot to put them back on, and when his dad turned on his wipers in the rain, Bernie was the first to hear about it! He now owns a beautiful 1949 Chevrolet with modern power train recently featured in this column. In November 2012, Bernie purchased another vintage Chevrolet, this time a 1953 Chev Bel Air 2-door hardtop in beautiful original condition with a blueand-ivory 2-tone finish. This car won Best of Show Chevrolet at the GM St. Catharines Power Train Show ‘n’ Shine in 2013. The car was purchased new by a doctor in Toronto and Bernie is keeping it all original except for two modifications that were available when the car rolled off the assembly line in Oshawa more than 60 years ago. The 3-speed column-shift manual transmission has now been replaced with a 2-speed Powerglide automatic, and the manual steering has been replaced with power steering, a new option for Chevrolet in 1953. The Bel Air name first appeared in 1950 on Chevrolet’s new 2-door hardtop introduced that year, a full year-and-a-half before Ford’s first hardtop. In 1953, the Bel Air name was extended to the top-of-the-line

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking long-term foster homes for female dogs in its breeding program. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind breeds golden retrievers and Labrador retrievers. At this time, they are currently seeking long-term foster homes for female breeding dogs, which are fully trained adult dogs, specifically selected from the guide dog program for breeding purposes, to produce future guide dogs. Suitable candidates should be home most of the day, have a secure yard, and access to transportation. This is a long-term commitment of up to eight years, in which you home a dog from the breeding program. Ownership of the dog is retained by Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. Food and veterinary expenses are provided. For this position, you must live within a one-hour drive of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind’s (CGDB) National Training Centre in Manotick. This commitment of up to eight years is like having a pet dog, with all food and veterinary expenses provided. However, there is one special element to the position. Occasionally, the dog you are fostering would be used for breeding purposes and the litter of pups is born in your home, starting an eight weeks of whelping the litter; the process when a female dog gives birth. Experience in whelping litters of puppies is an asset, but not necessary. When the dog gives birth, you need to be home the majority of the time throughout the eight-week commitment for whelping. In the first three weeks, you need to be there to supervise the pups for feedings every few hours. You have to keep the whelping box clean and wash the blankets, plus make sure their mom is doing well post-whelping, and monitor the pups’ weight twice a day to ensure that each pup is gaining weight. As the pups get older, they are gradually introduced to watered-down kibble. As they are weaned, they start to socialize with people and each other more and begin to go outside. The older they get, the more intense the work gets, as they need a lot more stimulation. You work on house training with them, and their naps become shorter as they get older. It is at that point that you start to see their little personalities develop. A professional staff member from CGDB is present throughout the whelping of the pups to ensure that things go as smoothly as possible. Following the birth, they visit your home on a weekly basis to assess the pups and their mom; to offer advice; and to answer any questions or concerns. If you have any issues between visits, you can call CGDB to have them addressed and someone can be reached 24 hours a day if needed for emergencies. When the pups are eight weeks old, they are removed from the volunteer’s home and enter into the guide dog training program. The breeding dog remains living in your home.

Federal government intends to give Transport Canada more recall power In the wake of what may likely be the largest consumer product recall in history (Takata air-bags), the federal government has indicated its intention to introduce new legislation giving Transport Canada more power to order recalls and force automakers and others to pay for repairs. The exact details are not yet known, but industry watchers are expecting that Canadians will soon benefit from the same type of government regulation that the US has under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Currently in Canada, auto manufacturers operate under a voluntary system and as most vehicles sold in this country are the same as those offered in the US, recall action for the most part has been the same here as it is south of border. But the Takata air-bag recall (involving more than 1.5 million vehicles in Canada) involves a parts manufacturer that is independent of the several automakers that use their components. Under current Transport Canada rules, the government has no power to order a recall or to force a parts supplier to rectify a defect. But on either side of the border, recalls and their regulations are far from perfect. First, how long must a carmaker be liable for the performance of their products? Is it 10 years, 15, 20? What about mileage or maintenance? Is there a reasonable point where vehicles may no longer be expected to meet the regulations that existed when they were built? The Takata air-bag situation may be an exception to normal wear and tear rules. There is no easy way to inspect the air-bag inflators, nor are there any maintenance requirements for them. They sit idle behind your dash and horn pads until a frontal collision activates them; so they aren’t subject to any use. A recent Jeep recall is an example of recall rules gone wrong. NHSTA ordered a review of rear crash-worthiness of Jeep Grand Cherokees from the 1993-98 model years after several fuel tank fires were reported as results of rear-end collisions. It didn’t matter that the vehicles were designed and constructed, and verified to meet the guidelines of their day. Jeep’s parent company FCA cooperated with NHT-

SA’s review and came up with a unique fix that offered a real plus. The repair involved installing a frame-rail mounted trailer-hitch which improved the vehicles ability to absorb a rear-end impact while protecting the fuel tank. Vehicles that already had trailer hitches had to pass an inspection or get the hitch replaced free of charge. The problem was that most of the older vehicles that came in for the recall in Canada and the northern US (and very few did) had rear frame rails rusted so badly that the hitch couldn’t be properly secured. So these 20-plus-year-old SUVs went merrily on their way without a repair. This recall has gotten FCA into hot water with NHTSA over the extremely low completion rate; go figure! On the topic of government regulations, Ontario has passed legislation that will affect drivers and pedestrians alike. While no firm in-force date has been announced (only the term ‘within the next few months’) it may be time to start adjusting your driving habits to avoid the rush of traffic tickets that are bound to be issued. Distracted driving fines will increase to a maximum of $1,000 plus three demerit points with what are called ‘escalating sanctions’ for novice drivers (no explanation on what they might be). Drug impaired drivers will face the same harsh penalties as those who are convicted of drinking and driving. There will also be increased fines and demerit points for those that ‘door’ cyclists and a new requirement for a one meter distance between cars and cyclists when passing. The one that’s bound to be a ticketing officer’s field-day is the new pedestrian crossing rule. Drivers will be required to “wait until pedestrians have completely crossed the road before proceeding at school crossings and pedestrian crossovers” (MTO website). That means your wheels

can’t enter a pedestrian intersection pathway until those on foot have stepped onto the sidewalk on the other side. Consider how many times this rule is broken every day, especially at major intersections of four or more lanes. Start practicing your safe and patient driving habits today. This weekend is a field day of a much more positive type if you’re into classic, collector, and hotrod cars. On Saturday, June 13 the 10th annual Duck Festival Car Show happens in St. Isidore at the arena parking lot from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. On the same day and on Sunday, June 14, the Odessa Flea Market & Car Show hosted by the Upper Canada region of the ACCCC is on at the Odessa Fairgrounds.

McCarthy’s ‘Spy’ serves up plenty of action, fun MOVIE: Spy STARRING: Melissa McCarthy, Miranda Hart, Rose Byrne, Jason Statham and Jude Law DIRECTOR: Paul Feig RATING: I saw the commercials and the trailers for Spy so I thought I knew what I was seeing. I thought this was going to be a spoof, or a slapstick parody. I wasn’t even close. Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) and Bradley Fine (Jude Law) are partners. Bradley is the spy in the ﬁeld. Susan is the brilliant analyst who monitors Bradley’s missions from her computer in the CIA’s basement. They are two of the best until Bradley gets himself killed at the hands of Rayna Boyanov (Rose Byrne). Agent Fine may be dead, but the mission goes on. Rayana is in possession of a portable nuclear weapon, and she’s looking for a buyer. The trouble is she knows all of the CIA’s operatives. The CIA needs someone she doesn’t know. Someone no one would suspect. Enter Susan. Susan has never been in the ﬁeld, but she volunteers for the mission for Fine. Rick Ford (Jason Statham) can’t believe the coffee lady is going on the mission when it should be him. He

My Take MARK HASKINS

quits, and goes rogue. Susan however is most definitely not the coffee lady. She may have sat behind a desk all of her career, but she graduated at the top of her class, and has skills no one suspects. With the help of her fellow analyst Nancy (Miranda Hart), Susan heads to Europe to pick up Rayna’s trail. Susan may have something to prove, but she hasn’t lost sight that there’s a nuclear weapon to find. Spy might be a whole new genre of film. Typically this film would have been Melissa McCarthy bumbling around like some sort of Agent Smart or Inspector Clouseau, but that’s not what it is at all. This is a high-octane action movie with Melissa McCarthy kicking butt, that also happens to be hysterically funny. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how Feig takes a serious action movie and makes it funny without losing the edge of an action film. It’s fantastic.

Jude Law plays the slick super spy, and does it flawlessly. Bobby Cannavale is a ruthless villain. Rose Byrne is as evil as they come playing a villain worthy of any Bond film. They play characters who wouldn’t be out of place in any action film, and they are funny. Then you have some brilliantly funny performances from Miranda Hart and Peter Serafinowicz who also kick butt. I know Jason Statham plays the same character in every film, but he does it really well. In Spy he’s that same action hero, but a little more over the top. It’s a subtle tweak, but it’s very funny. Then there’s the star herself Melissa McCarthy. She is awesome. That’s all there is to it. She is every inch the super-spy actionhero, and she’s hilarious. Spy is a great action film. It’s a great spy film. It’s a great comedy. You have to see it to believe it. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Crime Stoppers provides tips on preventing cottage break-ins Cathie McOrmond

Break, enter and thefts are on the rise in cottage communities throughout Ontario and across the country. They are “crimes of opportunity” and thieves will look for easy targets. Lanark County Crime Stoppers has a number of suggestions that could make your summer home and property safer and less attractive to thieves. Crime Stoppers also suggests that you think about other ways to make your property less of a target. To begin with avoid leaving valuable equipment outside in plain view. Make sure expensive electronic items are not easily noticed through a window or take them home or store them in a protected facility if you intend to be away for a lengthy period. Always remove electronic items, firearms and alcohol when the cottage is closed for the winter. Small boats, canoes and personal water craft should not be left near the shore. Instead move them higher up on the property, beyond the line-of-sight of passing boats. Engrave your name or a specific personal identification number on your tools and equipment to help ward off thieves. Take ladders home or put them in storage. Outdoor furniture, picnic tables and benches should also be stored away so they can’t be used to enter the building through a window.

Using automatic timers on indoor cottage lights may be enough of a deterrent to keep potential thieves away if they are doing a drive-by in search of possible targets. Having your property well lit at night also makes it easier for neighbours to see if there is any suspicious activity. As with a house in the city, it is important to make sure the cottage looks like it is being maintained on a regular basis. Consider paying one of the neighbour’s children to cut the grass and remove fallen tree branches. If your property is a road-access cottage, one option to discourage thieves is to install a well-locked gate at the beginning of the driveway. Intruders usually want to get in and out as quickly and quietly as possible. Having a gate at the entrance to the property might be enough to dissuade a potential break-in. Many older cabins and cottages have flimsy doors and simple windows that are easily forced open. Exterior doors should be fitted with solid dead bolts. Windows can be boarded up during the offseason. Sliding windows and doors should have a piece of wood placed in the track so they can’t easily be opened. The installation of an alarm system is another way to help protect your cottage from thieves. It is also important to properly document all of the items at the cottage. This includes taking photos of the inside of the cottage, keeping purchase receipts and recording all serial numbers. In the

event that you are a victim of a breakin and theft, having your papers in order will make it much easier for the insurance company should you decide to file a claim. Keep your cottage neighbours informed as to the times your cottage will be unoccupied. It is also a good idea to have someone stop by and check the property on a regular basis. It is also advisable to type out a note that says all items have been marked and that all alcohol and firearms have been removed from the property and place it in plain sight when you are away. If you do become a victim of a break, enter and theft you should call the police and avoid touching anything at the crime scene. Always report break-ins, no matter how minor as they could be part of a pattern. Your call and/or evidence found on your property could assist police in finding the culprits. If you are a witness or have information that could lead police to the individual(s) who have committed any crime telephone Lanark County Crime Stoppers hot-line anonymously at 1-800222-TIPS (1-800-222-8477). The hotline operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Information can be submitted anonymously online anytime at www.tipsubmit.com. For more, visit www.lccs.ca. Cathie McOrmond is the public coordinator with Lanark County Crime Stoppers.

Nissan Altima holds its own in market Auto Know

Brian turner

Nissan Altima? This mid-sized sedan (also available in a two-door coupe) holds its own in a very competitive market and is consistently among the top three or four in North American sales in its segment. In entry-level trim the Altima sedan starts at $23,798 and in a fully loaded 3.5 SL version hits the $34,438 mark. My 2.5 SL tester from Smiths Falls Nissan came in at $31,098 (all prices before destination fee, taxes, licensing costs, and any current incentives). For your money this Altima comes with everything you’d expect in this price range plus auto headlamps, fog lamps, 7” colour NAV system, rearview camera, hands-free phone system, automatic dual zone climate control, speed-sensitive wipers, eight-way power leather driver’s seat and four-way power passenger front seat, power sunroof, heated leather steering wheel and a BOSE audio system just to cover the highlights. The Altima is available with two engines; my tester’s 2.5 L 4-cylinder and an optional 3.5 L V-6. The only transmission choice is Nissan’s venerable continuously variable automatic. The 2.5 L puts out a respectable 182 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque and the transmission’s electronic shift-mapping keeps things lively and never provides any

reminder you’re driving a CVT. Nissan has put more CVT-equipped vehicles on the road than any other carmaker and this technology helps them to deliver very competitive fuel mileages. NRCan rates the 4-cylinder Altima at 8.7 L/100 km city and 6.2 L/100 km highway (32 and 46 mpg respectively). With its 68.1 L fuel tank, it should deliver a mixed driving range of over 840 km and cost about $70 to fill at $1.10/L. For a mainstream mid-sized car, the Altima delivers with a very roomy and quiet cabin with plenty of rear leg room and cargo space (436 L). Interior and exterior fit and finishes were far above the price point and the independent front suspension and multi-link rear setup make commuting and long distance touring a very comfortable affair. Even a substantial amount of collision mitigation technology is included in this budget conscious ride. The Altima’s optional tech package includes blind spot and lane departure warning along with a rearview camera that will alert the driver with audible tones and visible instrument panel warnings if a moving object is sensed. This camera is also adjustable; a segment exclusive feature. Like every new Nissan, the Altima is backed by a three-year/60,000km base warranty, a five-year/100,000km power-train plan and three years of roadside assistance. Whether you’re shopping for a personal vehicle or family hauler; if styling, performance, and exceptional value for a great price is on your list, then the Altima should be as well.

The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices), come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Nissan Altima I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Smiths Falls Nissan. I love watching car ads on TV. They often stray so far from the product they’re promoting you sometimes have to wait until the last few seconds to know what it is. I must confess I’ve found the most recent line of Nissan TV spots disappointing as I feel the theme of imaginary monster snowmen and walking trees a little intelligence insulting. But I still watch every one that comes on because the computer-generated images are great and I’m always amazed at how much of a story line can be wordlessly communicated with facial and body expressions. And you know what the advertising industry says; “the commercial that annoys us the worst, is the best.” All this talk about advertising is relevant because no carmaker wastes money on products that are selling well. That being said, when was the last time you saw a primetime TV spot for the
