Kilt Run 2014 features literary, culinary and musical flair By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Sports - With the Ottawa International Festival of Writers coming to town in August, the annual Commonwell Mutual Perth Kilt Run wanted to hop on the literary bandwagon with a Scottish Writers Festival Tent as one of many exciting attractions leading up to the big race. While the highlight of race day is, as always, the Kilt Run, which will leave from in front of Perth town hall at 6:15 p.m., this Saturday, there are a number of other activities taking place throughout downtown. There will be two stages featuring entertainment in Stewart Park and at the Crystal Palace from about 1:30 to 5:45 p.m. Acts include Freddy Dixon from 3:40 to 4:40 p.m. and Celtic Sea from 4:45 to 5:30 p.m., both at the Crystal Palace, while over the in park, some of the big names include the Blue Skies Fiddle Orchestra from 2 to 2:30 p.m., as well as the Celtic Cross Dancers from 5 to 5:30 p.m., as well as a demonstration of Scottish Country Dancing in the park stage at 3:20 p.m. Other events include the Canadian Haggis Hurling Championships from 2 to 5:30 p.m., the Medi-

eval Camp (same time), the Canadian Shortbread Contest from 2 to 4 p.m., Famouse Grouse Scotch Tasting, 3 to 5 p.m., and the Kilted Beer Palace, sponsored by the Perth Brewing Company from 2 to 10 p.m. In any other town, that would be enough for the day. But not Perth. Not to be outdone - least of all by either Perth, Scotland, or Perth, Australia, a full evening’s run is slated. The Wee Ladds and Lassies Race, set at a gruelling 200 metres, runs, so to speak, from 4:15 to 4:30 p.m., while the 1 km Ladd and Lassie Race goes from 4:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. The wee, and not-so-wee one’s awards will be handed out at the park stage at 5:45 p.m. The tension starts to ramp up at 5:45 p.m. with the runner’s parade to the starting line, led off by the Quigley Highlanders’ Band. At 6 p.m., enjoy the Fiddler Start Line Castle, featuring Ashley MacLeod. The main 8 k race starts at 6:15 p.m., as does the Warrior Challenge. The race awards presentations will take place at the Crystal Palace stage from 8 to 8:15 p.m., surrounded on both sides by music, and contra dancing from 9 to 10:30 p.m.

News – As Ontario’s population ages, and more citizens get dementia, the number of missing persons cases will likely rise soon. That was one of the messages brought home by OPP Sgt. Scott McNames during a presentation on search-and-rescue procedures at the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards meeting at Perth town hall on Wednesday, June 4. “Kids and people with dementia are by far our most common searches,” he said, during his speech in the Perth town council chambers. “And as our population grows, that number will continue to grow.” Children are actually amongst the easier search subjects. “Oftentimes, they are not sure they are lost,” said McNames. “They just tend to lie down and sleep. I wish everyone could do that.” On the positive side, about 75 per cent of people with dementia that go missing will be found alive and well. However, even at that, “they will go through anything, swamps, the dirtiest, nastiest bush. They just keep going until they get stuck. It is just incredible.” Dementia sufferers also tend to get located within one kilometer of where they were last seen. Another group tends, in McNames’ estimation, to stand out for stubbornness. “Hunters are never lost,” he joked. Perth’s Deputy Mayor, John Gemmell, a former police officer, agreed. “Hunters are the worst people for getting lost. (But) if they had a tail, they’d be wagging it,” once they were found, he said. A lot has changed in the last two decades when it comes to searches, mainly stemming from a tragic incident in York Region, north of Toronto, in February of 1998. An Alzheimer’s patient walked away from her nursing home, and was later found dead

of hypothermia – some 400 metres from the home’s front door. “It wasn’t for a lack of organization,” said McNames. “York Region put a lot of resources into it. (But) it sounds quite simple, really, 400 metres.” Afterwards, recommendations were enacted “making search management a specialty.” These new methods were seen locally about two years ago when a search was on for a White Lake man, with three search managers organizing events on the ground during the day, and two managers on at night. “There is a lot involved in a scene,” he said. “Time is definitely of the essence.” The OPP has helicopters stationed in Sudbury and Orillia, and the Canadian military has also lent equipment when needed. “They have never sent us a bill,” said McNames of the military’s help. “To over-react is justifiable. To under-react is inexcusable. I’ve never been turned down for a resource. Whatever you need, we will get. (But) you don’t over-react.” On one such case, the Canadian military lent a Hercules transport plane to aid in the search of a little girl near Trenton. They dropped flares at night, which “turned night into day.” The military’s only request afterwards? That the OPP pick up the dropped canisters and dispose of them. Searches are one of the duties performed by ERTs or Emergency Response Teams, though they also do everything from transporting prisoners to transport of a different sort – one of their officers was seconded to ferry Premier Kathleen Wynne around Ottawa, for security, during a campaign swing. They also contend with “contained persons” holed up in a hostage situation, for canine back-up, or drug warrant raids. “We are normally the first in the door with drug warrants,” McNames said.

CDSBEO receives two national awards for mental health initiatives, leadership cant steps forward the CDSBEO has taken in raising awareness of the importance of recognizing that mental health issues happen as a part of life, that mental illness must be viewed no differently than physical illnesses, and that acceptance and reaching out for early intervention is key to recovery and maintaining wellness through prevention, supports and treatments.” “We are so honoured to be recognized in this way by the Mood Disorders Society of Canada,” noted Gartland. “This is truly an important initiative for the board, and the support we’ve received from MDSC has been paramount in our success. It is truly a collaborative effort, and we know these initiatives have begun to instill a new culture of awareness for our students and staff.” Board chair Brent Laton remarked, “We are certainly honoured to receive this award in recognition of the efforts of our board in the area of mental health. We are very proud to have partnered with this leading national organization as we work towards raising awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness.” After the presentation of the Jordan James Pickell Award, Starzynski made a surprise presentation of the second award to Gartland. “Bill has changed the face of mental health for this board. He isn’t afraid to talk of his

own family experiences, and this takes away the stigma and the mystique. The Mood Disorders Society of Canada is very proud to be associated with the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. We have had the privilege of working with Bill and the team he leads. They have been trailblazers in recognizing the need for mental health education,” he said. Clearly unprepared for the honour, Gartland accepted the award. “This is a complete surprise!” he remarked. “I accept this award gratefully, but I accept it on behalf of all of our staff and board members who have helped support and implement these initiatives. ” Laton commented, “I would like to congratulate Bill on behalf of the members of the board; we truly appreciate him bringing these mental health initiatives to our students and staff.” The CDSBEO has implemented many initiatives as part of an ongoing board-wide mental health program, including the Elephant in the Room Anti-Stigma Campaign for awareness about mental illness in the workplace and in the classroom, WITS/ LEAD programs in response to bullying, proactive circles and restorative practices for conflict resolution, and a and a new student bully reporting app, called EMPOWER, which encourages student voice, promotes positive mental health and helps stop student victimization.

Hillier back in the saddle as Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington Across the street at the Best Western Plus Parkside Inn and Spa, the only cheers to be had amongst Liberals gathered for Bill MacDonald, was when campaign manager Roger Martin announced Hudakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resignation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a bittersweet thing,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald, with his party having regained the majority it lost in 2011, but with him again failing to unseat Hillier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a tough riding to paint red.â&#x20AC;? He said that the Liberals regained full power at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park because â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe people were listening to a more positive message,â&#x20AC;? than that being put forward by the PCs. He also pointed to the 100,000 jobs cut pledge as being a major issue in the campaign locally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot of fear in this riding, about their plans,â&#x20AC;? he said.

(But) the people are always right in a democracy.â&#x20AC;? Raising his glass of beer, he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We toast to democracy tonight.â&#x20AC;? Afterwards, Hillier blamed outgoing party leader Tim Hudakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100,000 job cuts pledge for giving him an â&#x20AC;&#x153;uphill battle,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;causing reluctance,â&#x20AC;? for some of his previous voters to back him again. He admitted that his majority in the riding was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not as large a majority as last time.â&#x20AC;? He said that the policy had not been â&#x20AC;&#x153;communicated effectivelyâ&#x20AC;Ś (and) it hit close to home.â&#x20AC;? Speaking just before Hudak announced his resignation, Hillier, who ran against Hudak for the Progressive Conservative leadership in 2009, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I only talk about one election per day,â&#x20AC;? but added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any leadership runs on the horizon.â&#x20AC;? Premier Kathleen Wynne was elected as the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader in her own right with a small majority government, bucking the predicted result of a minority government, with

sorts with this renewed mandate. Back in January of 2013, when she was elected party leader, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel very strongly that Kathleen Wynne has been weighted down by a stone,â&#x20AC;? of Liberal scandals like the gas plant cancellations in Oakville and Mississauga. With these election results, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel she can move forward with her progressive agenda.â&#x20AC;? After his second run at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park, MacDonald announced that he was done with provincial politics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as a candidate, anyway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will not let my name stand again in a provincial election,â&#x20AC;? he said. When asked who he thought would run for the PC leadership, he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really care who leads them.â&#x20AC;?

What did surprise Parkhill, however, was the Liberal majority government, which he said didn’t reflect “what I was hearing at the door.” “What I was expecting was, Liberal minority with the NDP and PCs very close. Of course, that’s not what we’ve seen,” he noted, adding that he believes people voted “out of fear.” “…I think they were afraid of a Hudak majority and I think provincewide that’s what happened. And, locally, I think people voted for the comfort that they have in Randy,” Parkhill continued. With the riding so large, getting from one end to another is a challenge, but Parkhill is satisfied with the cam-

Lanark County Interval House: 35 years of striking back at violence against women By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

R0012762317_0619

News – As Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) honours 35 years serving our communities this year, they’ve continued to evolve to meet the needs of women and children facing violent situations. The organization has a deep history, which dates back to May 1979 when LCIH officially opened, though its shelter was already occupied in April by women needing emergency services. “When you think about 35 years, we’ve done some great things and we’ve served women well, but the issues are the same. Women still need a safe place to go and children still need a safe place to go,” said LCIH executive director Erin Lee. “...We will continue to push the envelope, talk about (violence) out loud and take risks. People see us (LCIH) as the rebels, that we’re radical man haters and we’re not. We’re women trying to move forward the agenda of women; that they deserve access to quality of life, education and to feel safe in their homes without feeling a threat.” In establishing the organization, The Hub in Almonte was a big support, along with founding LCIH member Fern Martin. “When Lanark County Interval House was started, it was shortsighted in thinking that violence would end, but 35 years later, it hasn’t ended,” Lee stated. “... The roots of the agency are solid, from our founding mothers to now. We’re not shaking, we’re not compromising on those roots and that’s important.” At the heart of LCIH is its 24-hour

emergency shelter in Carleton Place, which gives women and children a safe place to reside if their safety is threatened. A big expansion for the organization came in 2002 when they opened their first outreach office in Carleton Place to offer services to women who weren’t residing at the shelter, but needed support.

children who have either witnessed violence in their homes or have experienced it directly,” according to a fundraising letter from the organization. “The children benefit from direct counselling to help them process their experiences and to eventually feel safe again.” When the Sexual Assault Centre, sponsored by LCIH, ceased operation

Shelter renovation In 2008, thanks to a one-time grant from the Ministry of Community and Social Services, LCIH was able to extensively renovate the shelter. It is now a fully accessible seven-bedroom shelter with each bedroom containing its own private bathroom. There is also an open concept kitchen, children’s play area,

Hoot in the Holler for Interval House this Sunday Community – Come set up your lawn chair at Beckwith Park this Sunday, June 22 to enjoy a day of music to celebrate Lanark County Interval House’s (LCIH) 35th anniversary. Hoot in the Holler, a day-long music festival at the park, is a fundraiser for LCIH which will feature a variety of location musicians who have all donated their time. Talent includes Ottawa Valley’s The Bowes Brothers (brother Andy will entertain with his house band during the day as well), The Continentals (specializing in ‘60s rock and roll), country/ rock band Renegade, Dave Brown, as well as country trio Smokey Rose and

Almonte’s Johnny Spinks. “It’s our way to celebrate (the 35th anniversary) and kick off summer,” noted LCIH executive director Erin Lee. Town and Country Chrysler of Smiths Falls’ Hugh Colton will serve as emcee for the festival, set to run from 2 to 8 p.m. at the park (gates open at 1 p.m.). Admission is just $10 and children 12 and under get in for free. Tempt your tastebuds with a barbecue and fresh lemonade, operated by LCIH on site, as well as catering provided by Dennis Burn of Leatherworks Catering. Concert goers are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and

the festival will move under the park’s cover all structure in the event of rain. Tickets are still available for Hoot in the Holler and can be purchased at: Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre (613-284-4124 ext. 6103); Pakenham General Store (613-6245280); Clayton General Store (613256-1947); Beckwith Township office (613-257-1539); Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce Visitor Centre (613-257-1976); Shadowfax in Perth (613-267-6817); Doree’s Habit in Almonte (613-256-8837) and Merrickville (613-269-9322; or call the LCIH administration line at 613-2573469 ext. 27.

At that time, two new programs began to be offered: transition support for women re-establishing themselves in the community through finding them safe housing, employment and education; and the child and youth program. Today, LCIH runs two children’s programs, one at the shelter and one at their outreach offices. “These programs work directly with

for multiple families. It helps to give the message to the women and children who come to stay at the shelter that they are valued and cared for at a time of great upheaval in their lives.” Over the years, LCIH has had a strong focus on youth as well and two Status of Women Canada grants between 2009 and 2012 allowed them to create the Where is the Love? project to reach teens in high schools and the online Truth for Rural Youth project gave youth a chance to interact and talk about relationships. Funding has ended for these projects, but LCIH still operates the Truth for Rural Youth website ( HYPERLINK “http://trylanarkcounty.com” http://trylanarkcounty.com) and with the help of generous partners, continue to offer a Could This be Love? conference in Perth, attended by high school students across the county. “We wouldn’t have any youth conferences if it weren’t for hospitals and service clubs. We get a little bit (of funding) from everywhere to do the best kind of conferences we can to give the youth a voice,” Lee noted, stating that youth have had a “pivotal influence” on the types of services offered by LCIH. In 2013, LCIH also had the opportunity to enhance their services even more by establishing a court support program for the county. For 8.5 hours a week, the court support worker helps women dealing with the family court system. Most recently, Lee said she is proud of the strong partnerships and relationships LCIH has formed with local agencies, including the Ontario Provincial See LCIH page 9

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Impact of proposed bill could see small farms disappear, says reader DEAR EDITOR: I have recently become aware of the dire implications for our Canadian food supply buried in Bill C-18, which is about to receive second reading in Canada’s parliament. Contained in the bill are alterations to regulations governing how seed can be cleaned and stored. This affects how farmers have saved seed for thousands of years from one years’ crop to plant the following year. This is referred to as Farmer’s Privilege. Without being necessary to conform to international standards, as we already meet them, the government of Stephen Harper is making changes that invite multinational seed corporations (Monsanto is one of them) to sell ‘approved’ seed to farmers who, also due to these changes, will find it difficult to save their seed legally. Because the seed the corporations are purveying are IP (Intellectual Property) and protected by legal means, the seed company can potentially charge not only for the seed, which is normal practice, but also impose fees for the season’s processes, such as fertilizing, harvesting, and selling crops. In addition, any neighbouring farm that receives pollen blown over from an IP protected plant becomes subject to the same fees. The likely environmental damages from these seed include: increased monoculture and subsequent loss of plant diversity; the IP plants require

more fertilizers, which have a greater impact on our ground water; IP seed is genetically modified (GMO), which runs counter to the growing movement amongst Canadians for healthy, locally grown food. The impact of this bill will see our small farms disappear because of a far greater debt-load from increased costs, fees and fertilization There is a wealth of information available on the National Farmer’s Union site (nfu.ca). Look for Stop Bill C-18. Because this bill will receive second reading soon, it’s important that our government MPs and the Minister of Agriculture receive messages from us that this attack on our food supply will not be tolerated by Canadians. This requires action. Call your MP’s office; download a petition from nfu.ca and gather a minimum of 25 signatures to be presented to parliament; tell your friends. This is an issue for all of us who live in Canada, and wish to protect our and future generations right to eat wholesome food. We need to retain our autonomy to grow the foods that are good for us, not feed corporations that are willing to sacrifice our farmland ecology and diverse food supply. Kate Kechnie Carleton Place

COMMENTARY

Keep on fighting Editorial – The fight against cancer is as strong as ever if Relay for Life events in Mississippi Mills, Smiths Falls and Brockville are any indication. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark branch of the Canadian Cancer Society wrapped up its Relay for Life activities for another year after the Mississippi Mills event June 6 at Gemmill Park in Almonte and the Brockville (Row’s Corner Fairground) and Smiths Falls (Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute) fundraisers June 13. Targets fell short, but the Mississippi Mills event raised more than $101,000 (with a goal of $135,000). Brockville brought in just over $102,000 (organizers hoped for $155,000), and Smiths Falls, with a goal of $95,000, raised $55,020. So goals weren’t met, but that doesn’t mean there should be a damper on these events. People still came together and raised funds for cancer research. And had fun doing it. That counts for something. In Smiths Falls, the Cancer Kicking Cousins team raised $8,427 on their own and Mississippi Mills teams PAR-TEE GIRLS and For the Love of Dido brought in $14,442 and $11,027, respectively. These are success stories that should be shared. The all-night walk in the fight to end cancer is something every person should experience in their lifetime. The sheer support as team members band together to walk a track into the wee hours of the morning, paired with the emotion of the survivor’s lap and luminary ceremony, are something to behold. Walking past those luminaries that line the track, each with a name of a loved one battling the vicious disease emblazoned on its side, is quite a sight to behold. It puts into perspective why people choose to Relay: it’s for their family members, mailman, teacher, neighbour or friend. It’s so that someday future generations won’t have to hear the words “you’ve got cancer.” We have to keep fighting.

Uncle Lou’s extravagant gift brings tears of joy Lifestyle – We could hear the horn long before we could see the car. It was a horn like no other heard in all of Renfrew County. We knew it was Uncle Lou! He usually let Mother know when he was coming. But sometimes, he just arrived, like it was an everyday occurrence to drive all the way from New York City just to visit us out on the farm. By the time his big black Buick pulled into the yard, driving down our long lane off the Northcote Side Road, Everett had run to open the gate wide, Audrey had replaced the Eaton’s catalogue for the orange wrapping papers in the outhouse, Mother had changed her apron to one spanking clean, and the rest of us circled the yard jumping up and down like jackrabbits. Even Father had stopped whatever he was doing in the barns, and joined us, ready to greet Uncle Lou and his black Buick with the big shiny brass American Eagle on the rad of the car.

Mother, as usual, whenever her brother came from New York, was crying. It took me a long time to learn the difference between crying because you were sad or crying because you were overcome with joy. Mother was overcome with joy! Uncle Lou pulled the car up close to the back door of the house, and when he got out, he swung Mother around like she was a toy doll, and then he pumped Father’s hand, and then grabbed each of us into a bear hug, one that took my breath away. Uncle Lou never came empty handed. And I tried not to make it look too obvious, but I couldn’t help looking into the back of the car, and there were boxes upon boxes, and in the front seat were brown paper bags. And I knew without a doubt, he had stopped in Renfrew and bought bags of oranges, bananas, grapes, and a bag of lemons for Mother...all Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@metroland.com 613-283-3182, ext. 104

things we would never dream of adding to our Saturday morning shopping list. It was like Christmas...right in the middle of summer! I couldn’t take my eyes off the back of the car. But Uncle Lou didn’t seem to be in any great hurry to unload his luggage or the boxes. He did reach in and take out the bags of fruit though, which caused Mother to shed another great pile of tears!

was made of gold. In fact, we all thought the big eagle on the rad was pure gold, until Uncle Lou corrected us and said it was brass. Emerson was rubbing his hand over it and making clucking sounds of approval. “Sure like that bird,” he kept saying. With his arm tight around Mother’s waist, Uncle Lou headed into the house, and ordered the boys to unload the car. First to come out were the many boxes, some with Macy’s department store printed on them, others just plain boxes tied with ribbons and string. Then came Uncle Lou’s luggage. Just looking at his suitcases, all made of smooth tan cowhide, confirmed in my young mind once again, that Uncle Lou had to be the richest man in all of New York City. Uncle Lou also had a good memory. Without even opening the boxes, he knew exactly which one was to go to each of us.

were yards of beautiful silk material, and a purse made of genuine leather in bright red! I couldn’t imagine such luxury! My box held a beautiful pair of white ankle stockings, with real lace around the tops, just like bad Marguirite wore to the Northcote School, and books...how I loved owning my very own books. Then, all that was left was a box which Uncle Lou kept apart from all the rest. He held it under his arm, and I wondered if he had brought something by mistake, because he didn’t look like he was in any hurry to hand it to someone. When we were finished with opening all the wonderful gifts, Uncle Lou finally handed Mother the box from under his arm. “It’s for the whole family,” he said, but Mother was to open it. Mother sat down on a kitchen chair with the box in her lap.

circled around her, and I could feel excitement right down to my toes. She seemed to take forever to untie the strings, and then she peered in the box, and was into the tears again. What she took out of the box almost caused the rest of us to cry along with her. There nestled in mounds of white tissue paper was a brass American eagle exactly like the one on Uncle Lou’s big black Buick! Only this one was on a pedestal. Emerson, of course, wanted to hold it. But Mother had a death grasp on it, and she kept rubbing it with the tail of her white apron. Where to put it was the next question. Emerson, never short on ideas thought it could be attached to the hood of the old Model T. The old Model T, missing a door, painted two different colours, and with a rad that had to be opened every few miles to pour in more water! And so it was decided. It would sit on top of the ice box. The new ice box that grandfather had bought from Barnett’s in Renfrew and now sat kitty-cornered

in the kitchen. Audrey was told to take off the geranium plant, give the top a good wipe with a clean dishcloth, and when all that was done, Mother got up and as if she was laying a cornerstone at an historic building, she put the American brass eagle in the very centre of the ice box. Not a word was spoken as we stood there like mutes, admiring this new and wonderful addition to our old log house. There was some discussion about its being put on the twig table in the parlour with the bible, but Audrey pointed out that the parlour was seldom used, and no visitor would ever see it. And so it was decided. The American Eagle, identical to the one on Uncle Lou’s Buick, would have its home on our oak ice box, where it would be the first thing anyone would notice, coming in the kitchen.

Initiatives such as the annual Take Back the Night Walk in Carleton Place in September, and November’s Violet Femmes fundraiser, have been successful for LCIH, as well as the establishment of the As Good As New Store in Carleton Place, a thrift outlet that raises funds for the organization. “We try to keep our hands in as many pies,” said Lee. Heather Whiting, LCIH’s volunteer and fundraising co-ordinator said she’s proud of what the organization has accomplished, but there’s still much to be done. She admitted that public awareness and

spreading their message, is key. “Women have come a long way, but there’s still a ways to go,” she said. “Without public awareness, we’ll never break the stigma of women feeling ashamed for being in a situation that is entirely not their fault.” According to Lee, legislators need to be pushed into doing more. “There needs to be a national action plan, to deal with national violence and Aboriginal violence,” she stated. “No one is actively doing anything about it...and it has to be a priority.” Over the years, Lee admitted that sometimes LCIH’s activities can be sensationalized or misrepresented, but she wants people to know one thing: “We’re still here, we’re still trying to honour women and children and trying to prevent more violence.”

Perth resident takes to the water again in annual Kayaking to Beat Cancer fundraiser By ASHLEY KULP

Bruce Raby with his Community Partnership Award from the Canadian Cancer Society.

akulp@perfprint.ca

Route change The recreational kayaker, who started kayaking in 2005, is changing things up a bit this year and making the route a bit more challenging. Instead of his traditional 110kilometre voyage from Perth to Ottawa, Raby will instead be leaving from Westport, kayaking to Ottawa, increasing the route to 135 kilometres. “It’s a bit different and makes it a little bit tougher for me because I have to paddle the Big Rideau (system),” he said. “…Westport seems like a nice place to start.” He likes to change the route to keep it fresh. Previously, he’s done four paddles from Kingston to Ottawa and two from Perth to Ottawa. “I make it longer and tougher as

I get older,” Raby joked. He’ll also have more company along the waves. Son Nicholas, who usually joins him for a portion of the trip each year, will be on hand again and so will Susan Johnston. She will be raising funds for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. She heard about Raby’s fundraiser as they are both members of the Lanark County Camera Club and asked if she could join in. “She’s a pretty avid paddler and is passionate about kayaking and photography and wanted to raise money for the Heart & Stroke Foundation,” Raby explained. “I figured we could support each other on the water. I’m looking forward to it.” “It’s nice to have someone paddle with you that’s passionate about the same types of things as you,” he added. He’s hoping to complete it within four days, beginning on Aug. 9, but has given himself until Aug. 14, if needed. “It all depends on the weather and how I feel, and more importantly, if there are good places to stop and have a shower,” he said. Raby plans to stop in Rideau Ferry, Merrickville and possibly Kars and Manotick. While he’s out on the water, he paddles up to the water’s edge to collect donations. Those experiences are ones he treasures the most. “Two or three years ago now, I paddled up and somebody near Kars reached in his pocket and pulled out a $100 bill. I offered him change, but he said ‘I’m pretty flush today, so here,’” Raby remembers. “It totally blew my mind. I can’t possibly forget that sort of thing.” “Then last year, I was paddling near Manotick and a woman was sitting by the bank at her property and I thought I’d stopped there before. I went up and didn’t have to say anything. She said she knew I would stop

again and handed me $20,” he continued. “Things like that always make me feel really good.” As for why he keeps doing it, his answer is simple. “There’s just something inside me that keeps driving me to do this,” he said. “This is just my way of trying to contribute something and say to other folks that I care.” Donations can also be made to Kayaking for Cancer online at http://convio. cancer.ca/goto/kayakingtobeatcancer.

Community – Each August, it’s become a tradition to see Bruce Raby kayaking along the Rideau Canal to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society and this summer will be no different. The Perth resident will embark on the voyage Aug. 9, which has raised close to $30,000 for the cancer society since he began. As with last year, he’s asking for 100 per cent of the proceeds to go directly to the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the society. “I’d like the donations to be used in our community to help individuals living with cancer right now,” Raby said. “It (funds raised) won’t help find a cure, but it goes a long way to help people dealing with cancer now. If I raise $4,000 to $5,000, then I’m happy to see it help people.” Raby is getting a head start on fundraising beginning Saturday, June 28 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Carleton Place Walmart, which will match all cash donations made instore on that day. “It’s great because they match dollar for dollar and last year, contributed around $600,” he stated. Next up will be Steve’s Independent Grocer in Carleton Place on July 5, and then for two days, July 12 and Aug. 3, Raby will be at Barnabe’s Independent Grocer in Perth. He is planning to be at all locations from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “With four days of fundraising in stores, I’d like to raise $500 each day and I’m getting good at that,” he said. Those interested can also make a donation to Kayaking to Beat Cancer at the LCBO locations in Westport, Portland and Perth, where Raby will be participating in their community coin box program from June 22 to July 19. “I really appreciate the support of businesses and that they are letting me fundraise in their stores,” he said.

As an added incentive, the first 10 virtual paddlers who raise $400 will receive a free Kayaking to Beat Cancer T-shirt. To say thank you to those who give, anyone who makes a $20 donation will be entered into a draw for one of Raby’s prints. “I’ve been doing this (raffle) for a few years now and it’s an opportunity to share one of my images. People seem to really enjoy my prints, so I thought I’d keep doing it,” he stated. For more information on Kayaking to Beat Cancer, call Amanda Gifford, fundraising co-ordinator of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society, at 613-267-1058.

Excellent author My interest in Hanover began when I discovered that one of my favourite authors, Bill Bryson, resided there with his family for a number of years after returning to his native United States (heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a native of Des Moines, Iowa) following 20 years living and writing in Great Britain. Bryson is a newspaper writer/editor turned author which partly explains my interest in the man and his work.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With summer scheduled to officially arrive on Saturday what better time to write about some of the great adventures which are available to us in this part of North America. A few weeks ago I offered a few details about our spring driving vacation in New England and in particular how we managed to fool the weather prognosticators. The predicted showers were lingering nearby in many cases. We could see them in the distance. Yet they seemed to part and disappear whenever we arrived in a new community or district. In southeastern Vermont we stopped and walked around the picture perfect community of Windsor with its stately homes and which reminded Frank LeBlanc of his native Nova Scotia. As outlined in the earlier column we also crossed and photographed the WindsorCornish covered bridge. The 460-foot structure, which links Vermont and New Hampshire, is the longest two-span covered bridge in the world and the longest wooden bridge in the United States. After scoping out and taking pictures of a few other less spectacular covered bridges we criss-crossed the Connecticut River (the waterway divides Vermont and New Hampshire) before arriving in the busy town of Lebanon, NH where we made a brief pit stop. We had less than a week to complete the itinerary I had put together. Our second major destination on this particular day was the town of Hanover NH which is just north of Lebanon. I have wanted to visit Hanover for some time but on our previous visits we always had something else on the agenda. This time I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be denied! My wife and the LeBlancs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure. But afterward all three said how much they had enjoyed the experience. There were three reasons I wanted to see Hanover, well four really. The town of 11,000 is the home of Dartmouth College one of the so-called Ivy League schools. The Ivy League is actually an athletic conference. But the eight member universities, all located in the American northeast, are among the most wellknown and prestigious in the US (the world for that matter). Among them are Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts; Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut; Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey and Columbia University in New York City. Dartmouth, with an undergraduate enrolment of just over 4,000 students, is the smallest of the eight schools. In truth, seeing Dartmouth College was my third reason for visiting Hanover. The fourth reason is because Brad Ausmus, the new manager of the Detroit Tigers, is a Dartmouth alumnus. As regular readers already know, the Tigers are my favourite Major League Baseball team.

Carleton Place teen travels to Florida for North American pageant Community – Carleton Place teen, Haven Lamothe, knows the feeling of being a princess for a day is magical, and what better place to make this dream come true once again than near Cinderella’s castle? June 24 to 28 the 15-year-old local girl will be one of three Canadian competitors (and the only Ontario resident) to take part in the Miss Teen American Beauty pageant in Kissimmee, Florida. “It’s a completely different experience,” the local hopeful said. The upcoming competition will be held inside the Osceola High School in Kissimmee. America is known for its pageants with girls taking part in competitions before they can walk. The upcoming competition, hosted by Harrison Productions L.L.C., welcomes competitors from the age of toddlers to those in their golden years. Lamothe will be competing in the 15 to 19-yearold category and is expecting the competition to be stiff. “I’m just going to go out there and laugh and have fun,” she said. This step into an international competition came after a year of introduction into the pageant world. It all started in January 2013 when Lamothe attended the Miss Teen Ontario competition and came home with the Miss Teen Lanark County crown. That year of taking part in community events and reaching out to organizations struck a cord with Lamothe and she wanted to do more. This brought her to Miss Teen Canada competition last July where she cheered some of her new pageant friends on to victory and had a week to remember in Toronto. Following this she had more

friends forever. You always have that experience to share together.” In addition to new friends, the pageant circuit has taught Lamothe how to manage her time, speak well in public, and overall how to be a confident young lady. She jokes: “Pageants are the same as sports but you’re in better shoes.” The experience hasn’t been all fun and games. Lamothe said her desire to take part in such competitions has come with a lot of bullying and jealousy from her peers and some adults. It’s during these times that her pageant family comes in handy and encourages her to take the next step. The 15-year-old was invited to enter the Miss Teen American Beauty pageant by Miss Teen Canada director, Christi Woolard who has been following the Carleton Place girl’s progress through the last year. Lamothe said she was surprised to receive the invitation having not placed at nationals or regionals, but hopes her growth in

each pageant she competes in comes through. The Miss Teen American Beauty pageant focuses on assisting the girls in their personal development through beauty, style and cultural appreciation. The four-day competition is four full days of non-stop activity. This includes a glamour slumber party and a day at Downtown Disney amongst many hours of choreography rehearsals. Greco gym in Carleton Place is helping Lamothe become her fittest self by sponsoring her with access to their facilities until the competition. Regardless of the outcome this June, Lamothe plans to put away her fourinch heels for the time being and focus her efforts on gaining modeling experience and preparing for her senior years of high school (she is currently finishing up Grade 10 at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place). She hopes to one day use her public speaking skills she learned in pageants in a public relations career.

Celebrating 20 years of music memories Community – The Carleton Place and District Community Band (above) held a special concert titled ‘Celebrate Musical Memories’ to mark its 20th anniversary on Saturday, May 31 at the Carleton Place Town Hall. The evening was hosted by Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc. Special guests during the celebration included Danny Albert on violin and Max Donaldson (right) from Notre Dame Catholic High School.

is worth the trip in and of itself. We enjoyed lunch in a downtown establishment with plenty of Dartmouth sports memorabilia and a seafood chowder that had Frank, the Maritimer, smiling from ear-to-ear. He didn’t leave a drop of the New England specialty. Hiking the AT On the way out of the restaurant Wendy spotted the last piece of the puzzle. A sign telling us that we were walking on the Appalachian Trail. An easy part of the trail to be sure, but none-the-less we can now say we walked a small portion of the AT. Of course we have a huge distance to go to even approach the difficult odyssey which is hiking the AT. Bryson and his friend did well by the way. But they didn’t make the entire distance. Only a small number actually finish the rugged and difficult

“marathon” hike. About 2,000 set out to do it annually. Just one in four complete the journey. The sign in downtown Hanover directed us to a point on the edge of town where the “real AT” disappears into the bush and heads back into the mountains. The route is rough and is marked by white blazes on tree trunks and rocks. The formidable trail passes through 14 states. The vast majority is wilderness although it does pass through or near many centres. The AT also crosses main highways and rivers at various points. Hikers carry everything they need on their backs and as our struggles with a few bags of purchases in downtown Hanover demonstrated, we’re probably not about to set off along the most difficult section of the AT, which is the New England portion. I do hope to return and walk a longer part of it sometime though. The four of us enjoy walking and even an afternoon junket along a portion of

the AT would be something special to add to our list of life’s experiences. For the most ardent hikers and outdoor enthusiasts among my readership the AT is a challenge you should definitely consider. Anyone else who simply enjoys an interesting

travel experience should think about visiting the areas I have outlined this week. Not terribly far afield and well worth the effort! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com.

Gaslight entertains at Full Circle Theatre in Perth. Above, Tegan Mackey, Kathie Reid, David Bird and James Benda capture the tension and excitement of the BarnDoor Productions play. The classic mystery-thriller runs Thursday through Sunday this week at Full Circle Theatre in Perth.

Gaslight a crowd pleasing thrill ride at Full Circle Theatre Arts – Patrick Hamilton’s mystery-thriller Gaslight has been around forever. It’s one of the true classics of the thriller genre and you’d think that every nuance would have been explored by now, but Perth’s BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) new edition of the script brings new excitement and new thrills to the play and turns it into a fastpaced crowd-pleaser that is full of surprises and excitement. Opening night audience members called it “tightly directed and beautifully acted”, “an actor’s play that lets them play all of the nuances.” One even said “When intermission came, I didn’t want the act to end. I wanted more!” From set and lighting to casting, the show is receiving high praise from patrons. In particular, the quality of the performances and the depth of the talent on stage is being singled out. “From supporting roles to leads, they are all so strong!” said a patron. Veteran Kathie Reid as the dour cook Elizabeth and newcomer Emily Richardson as the saucy maid Nancy each have their moment to shine, whether it is Reid creating suspense by simply holding a plate (and her breath) while events happen offstage or Richardson setting her sights (and more) on the master of the house. They also provide strong support for the principals in several other scenes. James Benda is the master of the house, Jack Manningham and he alternates between quiet authority and terrifying

emotional heights at the twist of a word. This is possibly Benda’s best performance in a resume that includes BDP’s Sleuth and their all-time second-best seller Maggie’s Getting Married. David Bird was, at one time, a real-life London police officer, so it should be no surprise that he excels at playing a London police officer. Inspector Rough is the prototype for the on-stage British police inspector: he is funny, dramatic, driven and, when needed, physical. Rough is the catalyst that sets the plot in motion and Bird pushes it along with energy and authority. The whole play revolves around the character of Mrs. Manningham – Bella. Onstage for about 85 per cent of the show, Tegan Mackey swings between complacent housewife, frightened invalid and, finally, wild insanity without a break and makes it all believable and sympathetic. The final moments of Bella’s breakdown bring the audience to the edge of their seat with gasping anticipation. It’s a show full of visual excitement, as well. Set in Victorian London, in the era of gaslight and horse-drawn carriages, the play benefits from a set that is itself gathering high praise for authenticity and beauty. From genuine period furniture to flickering gaslamps, it’s a large part of the show, as is the accompanying soundtrack of music by Jean Sibelius, which puts the audience in the right frame of mind prior to the show and keeps them there throughout.

Along with that, the lighting is suitably patchy and flickering, reinforcing the mood of the play. The final element of the package is that the script, which has recently fallen into the public domain, has been trimmed from a lengthy and somewhat old-fashioned three-act format to a fastmoving two-act version. BDP has taken some 39 pages (about one-third) out of the original script, leaving a play that is lean and exciting from start to finish. The production lasts just over one hour and 45 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission, but in that time, audiences are telling producers that they are treated to some great theatre, superb performances and a tight, highly entertaining play. It’s best summed up in the words of the New Yorker Magazine’s review of the 1938 Broadway production: “I can give you only one clue – GO SEE IT!” Gaslight concludes its run with performances June 19, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. and June 22 at 1:30 p.m., at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Note the special summer curtain times, one-half hour ahead of BDP’s usual. Tickets are $22 at the door; $20 reserved; $10 for students. Simply call 613-267-1884 for reservation. No credit cards required; cash at the performance is requested. For more information, go to www.barndoorproductions. ca. Submitted by BarnDoor Productions. THE EMC - 24 - Thursday, June 19, 2014

The BIA Lambs Down Park Festival on Saturday June 21 10am until 3pm. Come celebrate important history while having a lot of fun at the Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) Lambs Down Park Festival! The festival celebrates the lamb wool industry, with Carleton Place being the largest distribution centre for lamb wool in Canada!

known leader of the Carleton Place Christmas Bird Count, enthusiastically guided the group through the evening culminating in a talk by Dr. Jayne Yack. Jayne provided a fascinating talk on the secret world of insect communications with a focus on butterflies and caterpillars, many of them native to eastern Ontario. Jayne played recordings of sounds caterpillars make and demonstrated that some butterflies can actually hear sounds made by birds, insects and even people. It was a very successful and enjoyable evening, and everyone is reminded to put May 15, 2015 on their calendars for next years’ gathering. This summer, MVFN will be running its regular canoe/

kayak program and annual summer walks, and the club’s monthly natural history lectures will resume with a new series in September. Please see our new website, www.mvfn.ca, for details of these upcoming activities and for membership information. The new site took roughly one year and hundreds of hours to define, design and have implemented by MVFN’s web team along with Chris Bruce, a local naturalist and web designer. The new site makes it much easier to see what activities MVFN is involved in and to find information in a user friendly manner. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

Host families needed for students Community – In addition to the two groups of Japanese teens heading to the area August 2014, Muskoka Language International is pleased to have this year 10month (school-term) placements arriving September 2014. The first group consists of 14year-old girls from Japan’s Denenchofu School. Their main goal is to immerse themselves in Canadian family life and practice their English. The group is due to arrive on July 29 and will stay until Aug. 11. The second group is a mix of 17 and 18-year-old boys and girls from Ritsumeikan Uji School, in Japan. They will spend their weekdays taking English as a Second Language program at Carleton Place High School and spend time with their host families on evenings and weekends. Local teachers will instruct the students while they are at school. This group will arrive

Aug. 15 and leave Aug. 30. The third group is arriving Sept. 1. These students attend school throughout the Upper Canada District School board and home stays are required from September 2014 to June 30, 2015. That’s where area families come in. While the younger group (Denenchofu School) will be with their host families throughout the day, older students (Ritsumeikan Uji) spend much of their time at school in Carleton Place. They are at school during the day so it’s a little less intense for families. The school year students will immerse themselves in our culture attending local high schools. No matter which age group a family decides to host, the experience is well worth it, In order to qualify to host, families must be able to provide the student with his or her own room and anyone over the age of

19 must pass a vulnerable sector background check. Organizers also hope to match students with his or her ideal family, which means the more family members, the better, especially if there are teens around the same age, Buses are provided for the older students to and from Carleton Place High School daily with buses from Perth, Almonte and Smiths Falls. Students residing in Carleton Place might require a drive to or from school, or they can walk if they are close enough to the school. The students who are attending school for the school year will either be bused or if close enough, may walk to school. All host families are compensated. Anyone looking for more information can call JoAnn Campbell or Katrina Hodge at 613-264-8843/613-366-5512, or email jcampbell@mliesl.com or khodge@mliesl.com.

The Canadian Co-operative Woolgrowers, located at 142 Franktown Road, grades and markets close to three million pounds of raw wool each year. To mark the town’s woolly past, the BIA and the Woolgrowers will come together on Saturday, June 21 to host the Lambs Down Park Festival. The BIA and the Wool Growers are hoping to bring awareness to the public about the great heritage attraction we have in Carleton Place. The festival will run from 10am until 3pm on the Wool Growers property. With the festival focusing on our woolly past, there will be all kinds of activities that will help build the fibre of participants including hands-on demonstrations of sheep herding involving working sheep dogs, sheep shearing and the spinning of wool. There will also be tours of the Woolgrowers facilities. Jack Denovan will be the Master of Ceremonies, providing music and entertainment all day. There will be local fresh produce, jams, lamb, baked goods, painting, sculptures, jewellery and so much more! For the young and the young at heart there will be a petting zoo and pony rides, balloon art, face painting and interactive gymnastics activity. You can relax at a picnic table, enjoying a bite to eat, having a drink and taking in great local entertainment. Two fundraising walks and BBQ in support of LAWS and People First. With the Woolgrowers housed in what was originally the round house and machine shops for the Canadian Pacific Railway, there will be a great display set up on Carleton Place’s railway past. The Lambs Down Park Festival was created by the BIA with the goal of bringing together friends and family, so that we can enjoy and learn about the heritage of the community. The BIA has had great success with family events and is inviting everyone to come out and enjoy the displays, lunch and entertainment. Further details on the festival can be obtained by contacting the BIA at 613-257-8049 or by e-mail at cmcormond@carletonplace.ca.

Lifestyle – The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) held their annual general meeting (AGM) at the Almonte Civitan Community Hall on May 15 followed by their Spring Gathering event which had record-setting attendance. The AGM was conducted by Ken Allison, president of MVFN, with attendance by the board and club members. Ken provided the membership with an overview of the organizations activities and finances over the last year. This is the club’s 26th year as an organization and throughout this time it has been very active promoting the understanding and awareness of the natural world in our community, with its popular natural history lectures series, canoe, hiking and birding outings, environmental programs for children and youth, and strong support for local conservation issues. The treasurer, Robert McCook, presented the finances which show a wellmanaged club which can continue to be very active. Ken introduced each of the board members for the coming year, and of special note is that Cliff Bennett, one of the founding members, will once again be president. The 2014/15 board members can found on MVFN’s new website (www.MVFN.ca) under the ABOUT MVFN menu. The AGM was followed by the Spring Gathering event which started with a reception, where old friends and acquaintances shared drinks and chatted; many visited the Young Naturalists exhibit and purchased raffle tickets in support of the MVFN bursary fund, which supports young people going into the environment education field. Presentation of the 2014 MVFN Champion for Nature also took place. Botanist David White was presented with the award for his work in establishing a Lanark Flora which is available online for public use and furthers plant and habitat conservation in our region. The Almonte Civitan Club did an excellent job of providing top notch service and a very tasty meal. A special thanks to all the volunteers, especially Cliff Bennett, who organized the team and co-ordinated the event. The master of ceremonies, Iain Wilkes, MVFN’s publicity chair and well-

Find out why The Butler Did It at Studio Theatre this July Arts – It might seem unfair to assume that the poor butler is always the culprit in the ‘30sstyle murder mysteries we love so much. But in the play-within-a-play comedy, The Butler Did It, premiering soon at the Studio Theatre, the butler is the obvious suspect. Why? Because all the characters have the same last name – Butler! Described as the off-Broadway equivalent of Deathtrap, The Butler Did It, written by Walter Marks and Peter Marks, is a diabolically clever comedy thriller that mixes murder and mayhem, laughter and chills in the glittering world of the theatre. The scene is set where Anthony J. Lefcourt, writer and director, is rehearsing his newest work, a classic “whodunit” (in which, as mentioned, all the characters either play a butler or are named Butler) hoping to regain his former glory as a playwright. Desperately eager to spur his cast on to great performances, he “stages” the murder of one of the actresses, after which the plot begins to twist and turn with such dazzling ingenuity – and hilarity – that soon actors and audience alike have lost track of what is real and what is make-believe. Finally, a surprise ending sets matters straight in a most bizarre and ironic way. It’s a “genuinely amusing burlesque of those good old ‘30s movie thrillers in which the killer is unmasked in the final moments” (NY Daily News) and just the sort of light-hearted fare that makes for great summer entertainment. The Butler Did It is directed by theatre veteran Patricia Parry (who helmed last De-

cember’s successful The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose) and stars Paul Roach as the director, Anthony J. Lefcourt; Norman MacDonnell as Mr. Butler (and Robert Lattimore); Julie Heney as Mrs. Butler (and Angela Simpson); Satinka Schilling as Vickie Butler (and Claudia Barnes); Charles Henderson as Aldo, the Butler, (and Michael Severino); and Garry Welch as Detective Mumford (and Sam Farber). The show premieres Thursday, July 3 and continues July 4, 5, 11 and 12 at 8 p.m., and July 6 and 13 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $22 (cash; exact change if possible) at The Book Nook (60 Gore Street E.), and at Tickets Please (39 Foster Street), 613-485-6434, www.ticketsplease.ca, which accepts credit card and phone orders (a convenience fee applies). Tickets at the door are $24, and students with ID pay just $10 at the door on show night. The laughs continue in August with the Studio Theatre’s second great summer show, Oscar Wilde’s classic social satire, An Ideal Husband, premiering Aug. 14 for eight performances. And when you purchase tickets for both The Butler Did It and An Ideal Husband you’ll pay just $40 for both shows. For details, dates and show times be sure to visit studiotheatreperth.com. Remember, Perth’s Studio Theatre is air conditioned and fully accessible, thanks to our brand new elevator. Enjoy a show (or two!) at the beautifully renovated Studio Theatre, and see how good community theatre can be! Submitted by the Studio Theatre.

Roam the countryside at Burnstown Heritage House & Garden Tour June 28 Community – Are you interested in history or homes or gardens? Do you want to spend an interesting afternoon roaming the countryside? Then do not miss the second Burnstown Heritage House & Garden Tour on Saturday, June 28 from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. There are seven locations in and around Burnstown to visit: four gardens, three heritage homes, school, church, radio station, and labyrinth. Included in the $25 price is a strawberry social at the Burnstown United Church. Your passport provides a map and a short description of each location. The order of viewing is up to you – start and finish anywhere along the route. There are two locations in Burnstown, besides the church. One is the 1889 one-room school house. Today it is the Neat, with its café and roast house. Lately, it has become known for its unique concert venue. There is even a concert scheduled for the evening of the tour (June 28) at 8 p.m. if you wish to purchase tickets (www.neatfood. com). The tour includes the garden and perhaps you will also see some freetrade coffee being roasted. The second location is one of the village’s oldest buildings. It was built around 1850 as the home of businessman, George Rochester. He was the owner of the Rochester Mill and other businesses in Burnstown. The building was later used as a cheese factory before reverting to a home. Today it is the location of Prime Valley Realty and a gift shop, Rustic Remnants. The tour includes the basement to show the timbers and floorboards. While there, listen to tales of rescues and drownings on the Madawaska.

The rear garden layout is reminiscent of a formal French country courtyard. The front garden is more informal and relaxed. Back by popular demand is the nearby farm of Joan & Ross Headrick. You can visit a log cabin from the early 1800s, lovingly furnished to that time period. Check out the handmade quilt and interesting gadgets from pioneer times.

With sandy, dry soil, it was originally designed in a hot, dry, Mediterranean style. Now the garden is transitioning into a partial shade garden, featuring hostas, daylilies and perennials. There is also a small goldfish pond. While there, enjoy the owners’ artistic works. Valerie’s botanical paintings are often of the plants in the garden. John’s work is mainly architectural, but he also enjoys painting small acrylics of their garden. Valley Heritage Radio Station is also included in the tour.

The station uses turntables and tape decks, as well as modern equipment. The actual building was once the Jack Russell Drive-In Theatre. There may be a live band on

Avro Arrow project flies Perth student to provincial heritage fair By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Corbett Marsh made himself at home in his dorm room at the University of Toronto last weekend – not bad for an 11-year-old. But rather than getting an early start on Frosh Week, the Grade 6 Queen Elizabeth Public School student was at the Ivy League school taking part in the province-wide heritage fair. Marsh, along with a student from Smiths Falls’ Chimo Elementary School, was one of two students chosen to represent Lanark County at the fair. “(It was) pretty amazing,” he said during an interview during a break at his school’s Jump Rope for Heart event on Monday, June 16. He found out that he had won when his principal, Carmela Ciocio, climbed aboard his homeward-bound bus as it prepared to leave, and told Marsh and all of his fellow bus-riders the good news, that his project on the Avro Arrow, presented at the regional heritage fair at the Perth branch of the Royal Canadian Le-

gion, had won him a spot at the provincial event. Leaving Perth and suddenly finding himself in the hallowed halls of the U of T proved to be an adjustment for Marsh. “It was different because everyone had their own room,” he said. He enjoyed meeting fellow students from all over Ontario, and he also got to go on a haunted tour of the campus, as well as visit Queen’s Park and historic Fort York. While visiting the fort, Marsh was able to see another part of Canada’s military aviation history, a Lancaster bomber from the Second World War, flying overhead. At the fair, he got to see the hard work of other students. He was most impressed by a diorama of Vimy Ridge, which took up a whole table. However, while the downtown Toronto campus was impressive, it was not enough to deter him from his post-secondary goal of Bishop’s See ARROW page P2

of the Tay, Tracy Botham, a Scentsy rep in Perth, got the idea to host a show outside Perth. They brainstormed to bring together other home-based business owners alongside some of their talented artisan friends to be able to offer a one-stop shopping extravaganza to their clients, both new and returning. “It’s all about promoting local businesses,” she says. “This is a great way to do that… and we are already sold out with 50 vendors. I thought we’d be lucky to get 10 or 12. The response has been out of this world.” As a home-based business owner, who also works full time, says it’s a great way to expand her clientele. “We are all busy people and to be able to host a show like this is great, because it brings so many people together under one roof – we can cross network and expand our own clientele,” says Crawford. “We help promote each other and are able to reach our own goals.”

Community – Visit the Westport arena on Saturday, July 12 for a unique shopping experience. The first ever Summer Vendor and Artisan Market will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. featuring 50 vendors with a variety of goods up for grabs. “Our community has a fabulous artistic network and direct sales and we’re inviting you to come and explore our wide selection of home-based business and artisan products made in Perth, Smiths Falls and Westport areas,” says Lynn Crawford, organizer of the event. Once visitors have finished perusing through the arts and crafts they can continue their day shopping downtown in the Westport stores on the main street where they will find deals available from the local vendors, Crawford adds. “While you’re here enjoy a delicious lunch at the charity barbecue where we’re raising money for the North Leeds Minor Hockey Association,” says Crawford. “The Rideau District Museum will be Visit: http://www.explorewestport.com/ holding a raffle so please show your support by westport-on/summer-vendor-and-artisanpurchasing a ticket.” Crawford says she and her partner for Ladies market#sthash.Oc2DFM75.dpuf

Charges laid in Highway 15 collision

News - Officers from the Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have concluded the investigation into a three-vehicle collision that closed Highway 15, between Ford Road and MacPherson Road in the Township of Montague on the morning of Wednesday May 21, 2014. A 23-year-old male was charged with one count of impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm and

operation of a motor vehicle with over 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. Both are offences contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada. The male is to appear at the Provincial Court in Perth. Three people were injured in the collision. One was taken by air ambulance to hospital in Ottawa, a second to hospital in Carleton Place both with serious injuries.

Month delay for male nurse charged with sexual assault By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – A registered nurse charged with sexual assault will return to Perth court on July 16. His case was heard at the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth on Monday, June 16 but was held over for about a

month. While the case is covered by a publication ban, it is alleged that Richard Nightingale, 50, who worked for Lanark County Mental Health, assaulted a 33-year-old woman on Jan. 10, while at his office at the Perth site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital.

Hunters, children also top missing groups SEARCH From front page

The teams foster a great sense of loyalty amongst their members and “most of the members that get on the ERT, they stay on it,” even though it can be timeconsuming. “(About) 40 per cent of my time is ERT-related,” with a week of training in both the spring and fall. Initial training is usually held at Canadian Forces Base Borden for nine weeks. But searches involve more than just boots on the ground – they also involve science and human psychology. The hunt often starts with the filling out of a questionnaire. “It lets us know what the person is like,” he said. “(A) detailed list of clues are crucial.” The “search urgency” is also determined and “we need to establish a search radius,” with a starting point where the person was last seen at the centre. It may not look like it on a map, but a threekilometer radius “is a massive area to search. It would take weeks and weeks to search.” The search area is also divided up into segments, often using physical boundaries like rivers, as borders. Though it may sound like semantics, McNames insisted that during a search,

“we are not looking for the person. We are looking for clues,” anything from cigarette butts to footprints, which can point searchers in the right direction. Another weapon in the officers’ arsenal is the new GPS system, which was issued three weeks ago to the OPP. “It keeps track (of us),” said McNames. “It shows us where we have been.” This is a far cry from when McNames started out with the ERT in 2002, and they were still using printed maps and coloured markers to track their covered trails. He also stressed that it was important to keep the family in the loop on developments, to let them know, “this is what we have done, this is what we are going to do. We keep them informed. There is a science behind it. We are not just sending people haphazardly out into the bush.” Another factor in a search is that it can easily become a criminal investigation if foul play is determined to have occurred, or if a civil suit gets filed in court. “Once a search is concluded, and we have tonnes of paper…everything is downloaded onto the computer, radio communications, everything is recorded,” said McNames. “It can be turned into a criminal investigation.”

Perth Police Services Board chair Stephanie Gray and Perth Deputy Mayor John Gemmell share a light moment.

University in Quebec, where one of his cousins was a student. While he wants to join the Royal Canadian Mounted Police when he grows up, he became intrigued with the story of the Avro Arrow through his grandfather, who flew in the Royal Canadian Air Force. “He told me about it,” he remembered, when they visited the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, where they saw the famed plane’s cockpit and wing. “I found it interesting.” He also wanted to know more when he saw one of the famous “Heritage Moments,” in class, on the supersonic jet fighter, which was inexplicably cancelled by the government of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. “It was ahead of its time,” said Marsh. “The people were not ready for such a thing.” His grandfather, who flew a McDonnell F-101 Voodoo with the air force on NORAD missions. “He grew up in Toronto (and) he saw them (Avros) flying over his high school…If I was flying I would have loved for to have (had) the Avro Arrow support me.” One of the most interesting aspects of the fighter, for Marsh, was that while it was billed as an entirely Canadian-made jet, “they never did get the Canadian-made engines in,” since the engine program had been cancelled at the last minute. Long after other government programs have been moth-balled, a mystique continues to linger around the Avro Arrow, creating a mythology of its own in the Canadian psyche. Even now, he says, legends persist that an Avro Arrow is locked away in Great Britain, or that an Arrow lies at the bottom of Lake Ontario. His love of history remains, and next year he wants to return to the fair, this time with a display on the air cadets – which he hopes to join next year when he comes of age.

CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF PERTH WASTEWATER ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (CLASS‘C’) JUNE 11, 2014

FIRE FIGHTERS USE GREEN DASH LIGHTS IN LANARK COUNTY: Since many municipalities in Ontario rely on volunteer fire fighters to protect their communities, 20,000 strong in fact, the Ministry of Transportation has approved them to display green flashing lights on the dashes of their personal vehicles to use when they are responding to a fire or medical emergency. In Lanark County alone, there are over 300 volunteers who respond to calls for help. The flashing green light is a courtesy light only that reminds motorists to pull over to the side of the road and let the fire fighter by. The light gives them no special treatment under the Highway Traffic Act. They must stop at stop signs and obey all other rules of the road. So if you happen to see a car approaching you from behind with a flashing green light, please pull over to the side of the road and let them by. They might just be heading to your home.

The Corporation of the Town of Perth seeks to provide cost effective wastewater treatment capacity to serve a potential build out population of 10,500 by the year 2041. Based on the study findings and comments received, the Preferred Alternative includes the construction of a Submerged Attached Growth Reactor (SAGR) as an additional treatment step to the existing lagoon to accommodate increased loads and flows as the Town continues to grow. The project Environmental Study Report (ESR) is available for public review at: Perth Town Hall 80 Gore Street East (613) 267-3311 The ESR is also available on the Town of Perth website at: www.perth.ca (Your Local Government › Environmental Services › Sewer and Water) The 30-day public review period for this project begins from the date of the first Notice, June 11, 2014.

Foodsmiths hosts dog wash Saturday for Melâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm

The Salvation Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old Family Centre on North Street, pictured above, looking from Gore Street West, through the car wash on the intersection, has been closed since April.

Salvation Army stuck in moving limbo By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Salvation Army has not given up on Perth. The church has moved its family centre, housing its community service centre, out of its old North Street location, and its store closed on Foster Street at the end of May, with the intention of arriving at a new facility at 95 Wilson St. W. However, construction, paperwork, and even communication delays mean that the move has not gone as smoothly as Major Faith Cameron had hoped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People do not know what is happening,â&#x20AC;? said Cameron, during a telephone interview on Tuesday, June 17. Even the phones are not connected at the new location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had hoped to be up and running by now,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But with permits and construction, we are not quite there. Just getting all of the paperwork in placeâ&#x20AC;Śit took longer than we had hoped.â&#x20AC;? As for the construction, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just getting it all finished,â&#x20AC;? she said. One of the challenges faced by the church is â&#x20AC;&#x153;changing a garage into a store,â&#x20AC;? complete with a

new entrance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope we will be open in two weeks,â&#x20AC;? she said, with an anticipated grand opening on Saturday, July 12. While the food bank will continue to operate out of the new Wilson Street facility, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to run the lunch program we used to have. It became too much, financially.â&#x20AC;? However, in its place, increased coaching for clients will be offered. In the interim, â&#x20AC;&#x153;emergency help has been funneled through the Smiths Falls office,â&#x20AC;? at 251 Brockville St. (613-283-3563). As many as 20 motorists a day are being turned away at the Perth facility, with bags of clothes and other items to donate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What! Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not open!â&#x20AC;? is the common reply from motorists, according to Cameron, when they are told that donations are not being accepted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I have a trunk full of clothes!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cannot take donations until we are open,â&#x20AC;? she explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are buried in boxes right now.â&#x20AC;? A proper donation drop-off box has been ordered for donations, and, in the interim, donators are being asked to hold on to their bags, or else donate them to other worthy causes.

Community - For the 10th year, Foodsmiths will host their Annual Charity Dog Wash in support of Melâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm All Animal Rescue on Saturday, June 21st, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Co-organizers Claire Smith of Foodsmiths and Melanie Young of Melâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm, plus many dedicated volunteers and sponsors, will provide a fun day of pooch pampering and fundraising. The four-legged guests are treated to a gentle scrubbing with Dr. Bronnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all natural, pet and lake friendly peppermint shampoo and given doggie treats, both donated for the event by Foodsmiths and their valued product suppliers. There will also be lots of fun for the rest of the family. Feathered Haven Parrot Rescue will be on hand from 11am to 1pm with several exotic birds, including a macaw, cockatoos, and cockatiels. Tess Shannan, dog trainer and animal behaviourist, will answer your questions about your pet. Put your name in for a chance to win a beautiful Dog Spa Basket. There will also be face painting, and frozen treats, chips and drinks for sale. Melâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm All Animal Rescue is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;not-forprofitâ&#x20AC;? 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, â&#x20AC;&#x153;All creatures great and small deserve a chance at a life with love, respect, and a full belly at the end of the day.â&#x20AC;? As well, Foodsmiths BYOB â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bring Your Own Bagâ&#x20AC;? Program will also raise funds for Melâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm throughout the month of July. The BYOB Program is Foodsmithsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most successful â&#x20AC;&#x153;greenâ&#x20AC;? initiative to date. For every plastic bag saved from landfill, Foodsmiths donates .10Â˘ 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 $400-$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. Come have a fun-filled day soaping up your favourite furry friend, and help support a great cause. R0012465537_1219

A public food forest takes root in Perth in Last Duel Park

Community - Last week April Mallett, Community Garden Coordinator, sent 20 Grade 4 students on a touch, taste and smell scavenger hunt in The Tableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly established edible forest garden in Last Duel Park. Our Food Forest is filled with plants that offer up their fruits, nuts, sap, leaves, and roots for people to eat. Mme. Beyeaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class from Queen Elizabeth Elementary was using the Food Forest to study Ancient Civilizations. Each student had to find and describe plants that originated in 6 different continents. Several students said that Mint smells like toothpaste, or bubblegum. Lemon Thyme, they said, smells like soap and in particular, like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Clean.â&#x20AC;? It was exciting to see kids reconnecting with the natural world where these scents originated. Edible forests build on the growing momentum to produce more food locally, and to diversify the kinds of food we grow. They also demonstrate how we can grow food ecologically. In this case the Food Forest is full of plants that are best suited to their environment. We had to take particular care to find plants that would thrive in those areas of the Food Forest that are flooded for parts of the year. All of the plants serve multiple functions (e.g. pear trees provide fruit, shade, and a place for vining spinach to grow) and the various plants form a system that, over time, can maintain itself while providing an abundant harvest. Edible forest gardens have both physical and social functions. The Food Forest is already serving as an outdoor classroom and we plan to offer workshops on pruning, propagation, and care of edible perennials. In future, once the

Edible forests create places for â&#x20AC;&#x153;urban foragingâ&#x20AC;? where people can learn what plants provide edible harvests. While wild foraging is gaining in popularity, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a car or you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure how to identify wild edibles, you may be less likely to enjoy these foods. The Food Forest grows a broad selection of edible plants close to home. Our next step will be to add educational signage that will help people identify the plants, what parts are edible, and how to harvest. In addition, the Food Forest provides a sort of â&#x20AC;&#x153;DNA bankâ&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; once the plants are big enough herbs can be divided and transplanted into new gardens, and shrubs can be propagated from cuttings. Finally, edible forest gardens are beautiful spaces that are therapeutic to spend time in and provide habitat and food for wildlife. Last year, The Table sought funding to design and plant a 2400 sq ft edible forest available to the public. TD Friends of the Environment and the Perth and District Community Foundation contributed funds and the Town of Perth provided space in Last Duel Campground, next to The Tableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community gardens. Bonita Ford and Sebastien Bacharach

from the Permaculture Institute of Eastern Ontario (www.eonpermaculture.ca) agreed to be our design coaches, and a small group of community members joined the design team. Over a period of several months we met with Bonita and Sebastien to learn the concept and methods of creating an edible forest garden. This was no small feat, but each of us was motivated to make a lasting contribution to our community. After identifying existing plants at the site, researching plants that could tolerate the conditions, and sourcing plants from multiple nurseries, we were ready to see the final outcome. On May 17th a group

of 20 community members came out to plant the Food Forest. It was a long, full day of work coupled with a lot of interest, learning and excitement. We were also joined by other community groups who are working to plant edible forests in their own neighbourhoods. Katrina Siks of Hidden Harvest Ottawa and Sarah Levesque of the Community Urban Food Forest (CUFF) project shared their knowledge with us and took away ideas for how to get other projects in the ground. Now, as the Food Forest gets established, The Tableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gardening programs are caring for the site. Campground residents, people walking their dogs, joggers, and others who make their way through Last Duel Park and Campground have taken notice, ask questions about what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, and offer their help. We often hear that people are impressed and pleased that we are â&#x20AC;&#x153;making good use of the spaceâ&#x20AC;? that was once full of grass. There is a place for food in public spaces. We hope that you will visit the Food Forest but ask that you wait to harvest from the plants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they need some time to grow. THANK YOU to all those who made this project a reality. Are you interested in learning to grow food? Already a green thumb? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room for you in the garden (and the forest!).

Gone Fishing!

Community – Kids love fishing and what better place to do it than Perth. On Saturday, June 14, a number of young anglers came out for the Annual Perth Kid Fish at the Tay Basin between Beckwith and Gore streets. Participants earned a prize and a free barbecue lunch. Registration and weigh-in took place at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244.

Perth Horticultural Society celebrates 30th anniversary Community - The Perth and District Horticultural Society (PDHS) is proud to be celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. The society originally formed in 1901 but suspended meeting at the start of the Second World War. It wasn’t till 1984 that several Perth area residents came together to form a new horticultural group which became the Society that we are so proud of today. We still have two founding ladies from the more recent incarnation as members: Evelyn Bothwell and Irene Roberts. We continue to be an active horticultural society with over 150 members. Many of whom volunteer their time to help us fulfill our community role by taking care of several public gardens around Perth (recognition has been received for our work in the Museum gardens, for example), decorating a tree for the annual Festival of Lights, and participating in Seedy Sunday. We will be helping the Town of Perth and area compete in the Communities in Bloom competition this summer. One of our proudest achievements is the organizing and running each spring of a six-week Junior Gardener program in local elementary schools, reaching some 170 students with the help of two dozen plus member volunteers. This 30 year milestone was celebrated with the help of Perth’s mayor John Fenik at our meeting on June 10 where, in addition to the celebratory cake, there was a Master Gardener Q & A panel answering gardening questions from audience members. As well, there was a presentation made to recognized three members for their service to the Society and the community at large: Lynda Bartlett, Barbara Mitchie and Ed Chenard. Our next meeting is scheduled for Sept. 9 with a plant display presentation by Sylvia Van Ort. Monthly meetings are held the second Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., St Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore St. W. Everyone is welcome, non-members are asked to pay $3 at the door. Submitted by the Perth Horticultural Society

Liberals get last-minute reprieve

ditorial – Just as with the recentlywrapped up NBA championships and the NHL Stanley Cup race, in politics too, a win is a win. The final Ontario provincial election results saw the Liberals win a surprising majority government with 58 seats, with 28 for the Progressive Conservatives, and 21 for the New Democratic Party. With 54 seats needed to form a majority government, the Liberals have only a four-seat majority. Not precarious, but not quite the landslide they had in 2003, or the comfortable majority of 2007. All it is, is an improvement of five seats from 2011. What has everyone crowing is that the Liberals defied everyone’s expectations – including their own. In the days leading up to the election, even the Grits were playing down expectations of anything better than another minority. What likely happened here is that enough New Democrats were spooked by the prospect of Premier Tim Hudak that they raced to the Liberal camp. Just like Paul Martin did in 2004, the fear tactics may not make for history-book making, or statesman-like politics, but they can win elections. While personally affable, one-on-one, Tim Hudak just did not connect with voters, the very same voters who recognized the need for fiscal sanity – but also feared a return to the mean-spirited Common Sense Revolution days, which appear to have been repudiated now, with much of the same Mike Harris crowd from 1995 and 1999 having run this latest campaign into the ground. Looking locally, at Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, having three of the same four candidates who ran in 2011 provides an interesting snapshot of voting trends, even in this, admittedly, rather Tory riding. Incumbent P.C. MPP Randy Hillier saw his vote dip 6.49 per cent, while Liberal Bill MacDonald’s vote went up 1.76 per cent, as did New Democrat David Parkhill, whose vote actually rose higher, up 2.15 per cent. Even the Greens, with new candidate

Cam Mather, were up, 2.58 per cent. Looking about locally, as the party once billed as the Big Blue Machine licks its wounds, we see two potential leadership contenders from this area. One is long-time Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod – though fiercely partisan, she is also unambiguous and certainly can connect with voters, for good or ill. It would be interesting to have all three provincial political parties led by women. But apart from that bit of trivia, MacLeod could be crucial in helping drive inroads in suburban areas of this province – like Toronto’s 905 commuter belt, or suburban Ottawa. As Mike Harris can attest to, these are key to winning a majority government for the P.C.s. Closer to our area, in an interview with The Kemptville Advance, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark refused to be drawn in on what he thought a new leader would look like. If he won’t say it, we will: Clark would be a very strong candidate to replace Hudak. As the former mayor of Brockville, he is able to represent both urban and rural interests. He also ‘gets it’ when it comes to the problems facing municipalities, having sat in the hot seat himself. A fiscal conservative, having been elected in 2010, seven years after the Harris-Eves years, like MacLeod, he does not carry the baggage of those governments. Knowing the value of a balanced budget, Clark also does not appear to be a graduate of the ‘slash-and-burn’ school of economics. We wish Wynne all the best in trying to right the ship. With a majority, she should be able to get done what needs to get done, without any of the minority government excuses. We are also glad that, hopefully, even as the OPP goes about their work, that this renewed mandate will finally put us closer to the end of the gas plant saga and will have ditorial - Here is taught the Liberals a lesson. Because if they fail to something rather learn from the lessons of the last three years – lies, remarkable. For the scandals, alienating rural people – their reprieve will be short-lived, and they cannot count on their first time since...I can’t even remember when...I am almost opposition being as lackluster next time. looking forward to trying on a bathing suit.

OK, “impressed” is not the right word. I caught the subtle warning but, in the end, my final pregnancy weight and my wedding weight were more than 70 pounds apart. Oy. I was able to lose a bunch of that weight (it helps when STEPHANIE GRAY the baby comes out), and I showed a bit more restraint when carrying Girlchild. Small children, I guess, made me think I was hungry. Not only that, but sometimes their plates needed clearing. Before long I was having a conversation with the same doctor about cholesterol, and then visiting a dietician. The dietician was great and reminded me to do things I already knew I should be doing. That worked for a while, and then I got lazy. Soon the numbers on the scale were creeping towards that first baby weight, with no baby to blame. Yikes. This winter I decided that without an intervention, it was increasingly unlikely I would ever wear a bathing suit again. So I started Weight Watchers. So far I have reached my pre-Boychild weight. This means I need a belt at all times and can wear pants I haven’t worn, at least comfortably, in years. My knees don’t hurt any more. I have more energy and I don’t get breathless walking up stairs. I stop eating when I’m full and don’t even put as much on my plate to start. I snack less (except when marking school papers which, apparently, is a trigger). It’s not rocket science, but apparently I needed a little help. There’s still work to do, especially in the exercise department. It’s also worth noting that one doesn’t always lose weight exactly where one wants to lose it (hello, baby flab). But I feel healthier and better equipped to keep the weight off. And, for once, I hope my old bathing suit doesn’t fit.

Geo-venture program at PDCI takes in wilderness tours Thankfully, a nice light hike on a sunny day greeted and elated the Devils as the trip reached its midpoint. The final day ended at noon when the group headed home, which many of the hikers were grateful for. “We learned skills such as food preparation, weather preparation and basically what to do and not to do on a trip” says senior Geo-Venture student Damien Rice-Laprise. With the Geo-Venture program being a three-credit course, it has many different elements involved in the curriculum. One of these elements is a co-operative education credit. From May 5 to 16 the students went to work in outdoor environments. The community has been very kind to these students and has given them opportunities to work at provincial parks, conservation areas, flower nurseries and tree planting on Wolfe Island. Students accumulated 80 hours for this credit which helps build job skills and grow relationships in the community. Recently, the Devils have just returned from a white water canoe trip. Each student had an opportunity to learn how to white water paddle and earn their ORCKA level 1A moving water certification. Though do not be deceived, white water canoeing is one of the hardest activities on a group simply because communication is everything. If you don’t work as a cohesive unit you cannot hope to enjoy yourself. Different strokes, maneuvers, and adjusting to the water all need to happen in unity for any hope of success. This is challenging for a group and a difficult activity, but if you could see the pictures you could see all the smiles. A sense of family has settled over this group of motivated workers. The age gaps seem nonexistent when youth and passion take a hold of the students’ work. Until the end of the semester, students will prepare for upcoming fundraisers and a final canoe trip as the year quickly comes to a close leaving only a book report and exam left to take. Much has been achieved over a short semester and many will be missed as they disband to continue their studies.

Community - When interviews are held for a high school course, it is safe to assume that the outcome will be something special. Many will tell you that the Geo-Venture program at Perth and District Collegiate Institute is special. Teacher Greg Anderson, the supervisor of this outdoor experience that only few schools can provide, selected 20 students between the ages of 15 and 18 this year. This same course has been offered at PDCI for 20 years. However, due to recent financial cuts, the program only runs every other year. This decision has had an impact on the dynamic of the group. The course that was usually filled with students aged 17 and 18 years now features students as young as 15. This new style of the Geo-Venture group presents new problems to the students. Gaps in maturity, varied levels of fitness, and some students never having socialized with fellow adventurers before are all glaringly obvious in the classroom. Awkward interactions may have been obvious in the past, but you would need to strain yourself to see any now. The class has a lot of experience working together at this point. Though they started in February, the Devils have already been snowshoeing, built winter shelters, ice skating, rock climbing, and fundraising - and that doesn’t even cover the projects they completed in class together. In the last month alone, the students have been on three memorable trips. On April 29, students participated in the 2014 Envirothon at Foley Mountain. Schools from across North America compete in this environmental identification competition. Students are tested on five categories: soils; forestry; aquatics; wildlife; and this year’s special topic, sustainable agriculture. The GeoAdventurers entered four teams in their regional competition and the top teams placed first and third, with team “EUnit” sweeping the board and winning all five categories. Immediately after the Envirothon, the class left for their annual three-day hiking trip through Frontenac Park. Poor weather battered the hikers, but the Devils’ resolve held and the rain faded shortly before their patience did.

Gas pains aplenty To the Editor, More and more every year, electrical vehicles are entering the auto scene. Less gas used, less profit for gas companies. They budget for X dollars in sales. Electrics cut into their sales, so up go gas prices to meet their bottom line. Also, less gas used equals less taxes for road repairs and R0022762496_0619

Perth Legion members attend rally on Parliament Hill By TERRY O’HEARN

News - Perhaps it was just coincidence, but on June 4, the day following the “Rock the Hill 2014” rally on Parliament Hill, Veterans Affairs were ordered to review the case of retired soldier Brian McKenna. McKenna was previously denied compensation for a neck injury, which was followed by post-traumatic stress disorder. Several Perth Legion members attended the rally, which received attention from national news media, and drew veterans and supporters from across the county. Media coverage can be easily found with a simple Google search for “Rock the Hill news”. Coming events include the Ladies Auxiliary yard and bake sale fundraiser on June 28, from 7 a.m. to 12 noon. Donations can be dropped off at the Legion on Friday, June 27 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. Canada Day will be celebrated on Tuesday, July1, from 1 to 6 p.m., with music by Harry Adrain and Friends, and a barbecue will feature chicken breast on a bun with choice of toppings, and homemade salads. The $6 admission will mean a chance to

Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier, Friday, Dec. 7, 1944: “The flag was flown at half-mast last week as a tribute to the late P.O. Will Hope. At the assembly gathering of the week, Dr. Hardy spoke feelingly of his bright and cheerful disposition, his friendliness, his courage and daring. A minute’s silence was observed in honour of his memory. At the same assembly Dr. Hardy spoke of Sgt. Norman Ready of the R.C.A.F., a graduate of the school who has recently been reported missing due to enemy action at sea. Norman was an excellent student, a good rugby player, and a young man of sterling character.” Did you know?

Wikipedia reports that the capital of Nazi Germany, Berlin, was subject to 363 air raids during the Second World War. It was bombed by the RAF Bomber Command between 1940 and 1945, and by the USAAF Eighth Air Force between 1943 and 1945, as part of the Allied campaign of strategic bombing of Germany. It was also attacked by aircraft of the Red Air Force, especially in 1945 as Soviet forces closed on the city. British bombers dropped 46,000 tons of bombs, the Americans dropped 23,000 tons. As the bombings continued, more and more people moved out. By May 1945, 1.7 million people, or 40 percent of the population, had fled. One of the largest bombs used was the “Grand Slam”, a 22,000 lb (10,000 kg) behemoth of an earthquake bomb used by RAF Bomber Command against strategic targets. Known officially as the “Bomb, Medium Capacity, 22,000 lb”, it was a scaled-up version of the ‘Tallboy’ bomb. It was also nicknamed “Ten ton Tess”.

REGIONAL NEWS From page 34

â&#x20AC;˘ Supervise children when they use products containing button batteries. â&#x20AC;˘ Do not allow children to play with button batteries or remove them from household products. â&#x20AC;˘ Seek immediate medical attention if you suspect your child has swallowed a battery. Do not let the child eat

or drink, and do not induce vomiting until medical attention is received. While button-type batteries have unique risks associated with them, all types of batteries can pose a health risk if not properly installed, used, stored or discarded. Parents and caregivers can learn more at our healthycanadians.gc.ca by searching for Battery Safety.

IN MEMORIAM

GORDON, Rita R. – June 18, 2001 – In loving memory of a dear Mom, Mother-in-law, Nanny and Great Nanny. This month comes back with sad regret, It brings back a day we won’t forget. You fell asleep without saying goodbye, But our memories of you will never die. We miss you more than anyone knows, As each day passes our emptiness grows. The tears we shed will wipe away, But the ache in our hearts will always stay. No one knows the grief we bear, When our family meets and you’re not there. You left us suddenly, your thoughts unknown, But left us memories we’re proud to own. Please God, take a message, To our loved one in Heaven above, Tell her how much we miss her, And give her all our love. Luv You, Ron, Ruth, Terry and Sherry Paul and Janet Randy and Janice and families

IN MEMORIAM

JUBY – In precious memory of my darling husband Dale, who walked through Heaven’s Gate June 24th, 2012. A picture of you I carry in my heart, I close my eyes to see it When the world gets dark. A memory of you I carry in my soul, I wrap it close around me When the nights get cold. If you ask how I am, I’d say just fine, But the truth is If you could read my mind Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you, With aching heart and tears unseen, Wishing your absence was only a dream. Till we meet again, forever and always, xox Love Didee

OBITUARY

HENDRY Winifred “Win” The family of Win Hendry (Baigent: nee Holmes), predeceased by her husbands Alexander (Sandy) Hendry and Harry Baigent, sadly announce her passing at the Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, BC, on December 21, 2013 in her 94th year. In 1954 she started her 31 year nursing career at the Rideau Regional Centre, retiring from the Smiths Falls Hospital in 1985, where she created many lasting friendships. After retirement, she moved to Victoria in 1997 and enjoyed her new home. Loved walking by the sea shore, greatly admired all the early show of ﬂowers and delighted in the balmy weather of the west coast. She was a keen participant at her local community centre, enjoying her darts and crib games and maintaining an active social life. Over the years life presented her with many challenges, but she never lost her love of life and appreciation of all the positive things around her. Her favourite line everyday was “I always count my blessings”, and she always took the best of what each day offered her. She is survived by her sons Tony, Bernie, and Richard Baigent and daughter Leanne Kapostins (Hendry), 10 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at the St. Francis de Sales Church in Smiths Falls at 10:00 a.m. Saturday June 21, 2014. Cremation has taken place. Interment to follow in the St. Francis Cemetery. All are invited to share in a Celebration of Life at the Hanley Hall from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. In lieu of ﬂowers, please consider a donation to your favourite charity.

STREET – In loving memory of our dear parents, Cecil who passed July 29, 1990 and Vivian who passed June 29, 2009. A silent thought, a secret tear, Keeps their memory ever dear, Time takes away the edge of grief, But memory turns back every leaf. Always lovingly remembered Leslie and Adele Bev and Sophia Judy And all your family

LINDSAY, Darryl – June 18, 2014 – In loving memory of our son. They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something, So there isn’t any doubt, You are wonderful to think about, But so hard to do without. It has been ten years Always in our hearts Mom and Dad

MOLYNEAUX – In loving memory of my Mother Nina Molyneaux who departed this world on June 23, 2008 to be with the angels of heaven. Mother was a wonderful mix of warmth, strength, love and generosity. Her baking was legendary and she welcomed every person, be they stranger or friend into her home with an open heart, good food and lovely conversation. She was a beautiful woman who had a deep faith that guided her through her life, and provided inspiration to her family. Sincere, gentle, kind, words that were commonly known used to describe her. Mother always greeted you with a smile and warm hospitality. I urge all of us to dry our tears, suspend our sorrow and perhaps our hurt, just long enough to remember the sweet miracle of my mother. We are not here to mourn her loss, but to celebrate her life. God in heaven now rejoices with my mother, his new angel. She is deeply missed by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, sister and friends. Until we meet again my Mother is deep within my heart. Your forever loving Son Mark Crawford Calgary, Alberta

This 1951 Prefect drove around the Mosport race track Lifestyle – Bill Marr of Moncton, New Brunswick, writes: “Hi, Bill. I enjoy your column and I think your readers will enjoy this story. “In May of 1961, my uncle and aunt, Jack and Mildred Chisholm, who resided in Willowdale (part of Toronto) decided to take a drive north of Bowmanville in their 1951 Prefect to enjoy a picnic lunch and have a look at the new race track facility known as Mosport (pronounced Moe-sport, not Moss-port). It so happened that paving had been completed just a few days previous, there were no workmen around, and Jack convinced the Security Commissionaire to let them take a drive around the course. “Can’t you picture the Prefect leaning through the turns at Mosport at 15 miles per hour! My aunt captured a couple of minutes of footage on an 8 mm camera from the passenger seat. What a ride!” The Prefect was a four-door sedan built in England by Ford from 1939 to 1953 and sold widely across Canada as one of the forerunners of the compact cars adopted by the Big Three in Detroit in 1960 with the Falcon from Ford, the Corvair from GM, and the Valiant from Chrysler (the other noteable forerunner was the VW Beetle). We lived in Toronto in 1951, when Jack and Mildred’s Prefect was new. My friends and I (I was nine at the time) thought the Prefect looked funny because it was skinnier than the standard 6-passenger North American car of that era. We jokingly said that

the Prefect must have been put into a vice at the factory and had its sides squeezed closer together. Ron Pickford was born in England in 1938 and moved with his family to the west end of Toronto in 1953. The family car for much of the 1950s was a Prefect, and Ron’s mother was photographed standing beside the car in a supermarket parking lot with a shopping cart filled with a week’s supply of groceries. When Ron showed me the photo, I asked him why it was taken. After all, how many people do you know who have their picture taken with a shopping cart? Ron told me the reason. When they lived in England, they had only a small ice box for a refrigerator and had to shop for groceries every day. The photo was for the benefit of the relatives still living in England. See what life is like in Canada! We have a big refrigerator and we can shop for the whole week in one day! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOUThis shows the 1951 Prefect that drove around Mosport.

In recognition of their continued generosity and support of our hospital, a plaque bearing their names has been installed at the Smiths Falls site of the hospital. “It is through the generosity of our donors that we are able to continue to provide the state-of-the-art equipment and facilities to assist patients and families in their time of need,” noted president and CEO, Linda Bisonette. Resource nurse Ann Warwick expressed her thanks to Foulkes by noting that, “our staff appreciate your gifts and we will care for patients in this room and all others with the dignity and respect our patients deserve.” The dedication took place in the medical-surgical area just outside Room 206.

News - On June 3, the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital was pleased to honour Tom and his late wife, Pat Foulkes. Pat was a registered nurse who truly exemplified both the art and the science of nursing - a caring and compassionate lady who loved her community. Pat lost her battle with cancer in February of 2013. Tom has continued the tradition that he and Pat were known for, by supporting a number of groups in our community. The Smiths Falls Public Library, the Station Theatre project, the Parks and Recreation Department of the Town of Smiths Falls, Rideau Environmental Action League as well as the hospital, and no doubt, others, have been the beneficiaries of their philanthropy.

Lions Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CNIB toll bridge qualifies as a success

News - On May 8, the annual CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) Toll Bridge was held in Perth and was manned by the volunteers of the Lions Club of Perth who were named the Knights of the Blind by Helen Keller. For this reason, the toll bridge is one of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important ventures each year. Knowing that the funds raised go to benefit the blind makes Lions members feel as though they have achieved a small effort towards helping those in need cope better with their loss of sight.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tolls proved the generosity of the community of Perth and surrounding areas. The community dug deep into their pockets and the total came to more than $4,000, which has made 2014 the most successful year yet. The members and especially the volunteers of the Perth Lions Club would like to thank all those generous people who gave from their hearts with a smile even though they were detained on their daily travels.

Family rallies to send kids to Easter Seals summer camp

Community - One year ago, Montana Faye Wilson of Perth Road Village, decided she wanted to do something special to support the Buck Lake Community’s annual drive to send physically challenged kids and youth to Easter Seals Camp Merrywood on the Big Rideau. She decided to collect pennies from the customers at the corner store operated by her parents in Perth Road Village and donate the money she collected to the Buck Lake Boatilla and community barbecue. Her “Coins for Kids” collection was a huge success and for her efforts she raised more than $1,000. Her plan last year was “just to have some fun and do something to help kids with physical disabilities.” Her efforts galvanized the Buck Lake Community and showed local residents what a difference one individual can make in sending kids to Easter Seals camp. Last year Buck Lakers raised $20,100 again showing what a disproportionate effect a small community of 350 can have if they come together for a good cause. In nine years the Buck Lake Boatilla has raised $108,264 and has sent 54 kids an youth to Camp Merrywood This year Montana has again stepped forward to help the Buck Lake Boatilla with its fund raising campaign. However, this time she has enlisted her entire family including her grandmother

and brother Lucas. Again she has set her sights high. She said costs have gone up and it now takes $2,500 to send one kid to Camp Merrywood. “As part of the Buck Lake Boatilla we decided our family would like to send one kid to camp but to do that we need to do more than last year,” she said. “Like last year we will still collect “Coins for Kids” and have a barbecue, she noted but our fund raising plans also include a bottle and can drive, bake sales and maybe even a silent auction. “We even have a local man donating handmade bird houses which we sell to support our fund raising.” “It is truly remarkable what one individual or family can make in the life of those that have special challenges” noted Don Hopkins a Boatilla organizer. “This is our 10th year-our goal is to send 10 kids to Easter Seals Camp” The Buck Lake Boatilla and community barbecue will take place on June 28 on the south Branch of Buck Lake and Hidden Valley Campground. Donations can be made to local canvassers Submitted photo or on line at http://www.easterseals.org/other_ events/buck-lake-boatilla Rob Wilson Lucas Wilson, Faye Snider, Ina Snider and Montana Wilson barbecue some burgers as the Easter Seals summer camp gets financial help from Buck Lake Boatilla.

Historic theatrical walking tour opens June 25 in Perth Arts – Visitors and townfolk alike may be forgiven for thinking they have walked into a time warp starting June 25 as costumed characters from Perth’s past come to life five mornings a week this summer. Perth through the Ages, a historic, theatrical guided walking tour, is a youth training project organized by the Classic Theatre Festival and Matheson House Museum, running through Aug. 31, Wednesday to Sunday mornings at 11 a.m. This project features an original play, The Preacher and the Leading Lady, which was researched and developed by the troupe in tandem with director Laurel Smith and local historian Susan Code. It tells the story of the Reverend William Bell, an early Perth Presbyterian minister, and famed actress May Bell-Marks, both of whom mysteriously find themselves in 2014 Perth. As they journey through the town, they witness key events and characters that have formed part of the town’s storied 200 years while often sparring about their respective views on everything from the state of women’s attire to smoke-belching horse carts (or cars, as we know them today). Bell, played by local actor Kevin Kozo, and Bell-Marks, performed by Ottawa’s Jasmine Bowen (a veteran of that city’s Haunted Walk), are perfect foils whose comments on what they have seen historically and now will allow audiences to appreciate the importance of signature events in Perth history. With an equal mix of drama, history, and humour, the play’s cast also includes some additional up and coming talents that Perthites have likely seen on both high school and community stages, including Bobbie Cordick, Meaghan Brackenbury, Adam Reid and Madison Reid. The tour route will begin at Matheson House Museum (11 Gore Street East) at 11 a.m. sharp beginning June 25, and will follow down the streets of Perth to the Courier building (where viewers will watch the moment when women’s

Other scenes near the Crystal Palace will allow historic characters to remark upon the remarkable changes they have witnessed, and scenes both at the Legion and along Beckwith Street East will be touching reminders of the human cost of both world wars.

the last fatal duel in Canada was fought, makes an appearance. The tour finishes at St. James Anglican Church, site of many historic events and the new home for the Classic Theatre Festival. The Perth through the Ages project is the product of an intensive period of research facilitated by local historic animator Susan Code and collective creation and writing led by Laurel Smith, the Classic Theatre Festival’s artistic producer. Troupe members also had the privilege of interviewing residents of the Lanark Lodge long-term care home

to gain insights into the Perth of days past. “We have a terrific group of young people working with us on the project, and this is a chance for them to stretch their talents, learn new things, and share great stories with tourists and locals alike, a lot of whom marvel at the historic architecture of Perth but don’t always know the stories behind the gorgeous facades,” Smith says. “This is a great opportunity to not only share memorable stories, but also give everyone a strong sense of place and pride

in our community as it approaches its bicentennial.” Smith points to the strong partnership with Matheson House and Perth Tourism, and credits the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund, the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s Celebrate Ontario program, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization with significant support as well. The tour will wind up at St. James Anglican Church, whose Good Shepherd Hall is being transformed into a professional theatre space this summer as the festival celebrates its fifth anniversary with the Neil Simon comedy, Come Blow Your Horn (July 11 to Aug. 3) and the gripping mystery thriller, Dial M for Murder by Frederick Knott (Aug. 8 to 31). Visitors to the new space will note the historic overtones inside the building as well, which will features posters, costumes designs, and other artifacts from Canadian theatre history in the hallways and theatre lobby. This summer, the festival is also adding a Thursday matinee. With eight shows a week (Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. matinees every Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday), the Festival offers audiences lots of flexibility in choosing their dates. Pre-show talks will occur at 1:30 p.m. preceding each matinee. Meanwhile tickets for the Perth through the Ages walking tour will be limited, so those wishing to attend are encouraged to book tickets in advance by calling Tickets Please at 613-4856434. Tickets are $12, $10 for festival ticketholders, and free for children aged 12 and under. Day-of tickets will be available at the Perth Tourism Visitor Centre (11 Gore Street East). The tour will be last about one hour and 15 minutes. Further information on the walking tour and the festival’s new season is available at www.classictheatre.ca or by calling 1-877-283-1283.

Car Counsellor offers tips to truck owner experiencing dash control failure Lifestyle – “Hello Brian, I have a 1998 Mazda B-4000 4x4 truck and I have a small issue with it that has stumped many a mechanic and auto-part store representative. The speedometer and odometer stop working after only a few kilometres but all other gauges in the instrument cluster continue to work. During winter they both work for a little longer, I assume because it takes the engine longer to warm up, and sometimes in the summer will not work at any time during the day. I have also noticed if it is extremely cold (-20 and lower) the instruments will work for a few kilometres, stop working, then if the truck is parked for some time and started, the instruments will work again but not as long as first thing in the morning. The speed sensor unit has been changed on the rear axle and this has not corrected or improved the situation and it’s still the same. I have spoken with Mazda and Ford reps and they cannot provide any insights to the exact cause. Finally, except for this issue the truck is in sound mechanical condition and has never had any mechanical or electrical faults. I was hoping you may have a light bulb moment and solve this minor issue for me.” Cheers, Troy This Mazda’s PCM (Power-train Control Module) receives vehicle speed information from the antilock brake system rear wheel speed sen-

sor. The raw signal from this sensor on the rear axle goes directly to the anti-lock brake module where the signal is corrected for tire diameter. Then the corrected signal is sent to the PCM, speed control, cluster, etc. If the sensor on the diff has been replaced with no change, the problem will be found in one of the following areas: 1) Signal harness from the diff sensor to the module. 2) Internal fault of the ABS or power-train control module. 3) Signal harness from the PCM to the cluster. 4) Internal fault of the cluster. 5) Poor grounds for any of the above. Based on the observation that more than the speedometer/odometer stops working in the cold, I suspect the problem is in the cluster or the wiring that feeds it. The cheapest way to try to fix this would be to obtain a used cluster from a salvage yard. The alternative is to take the

truck to a very experienced Mazda B4000 or Ford Ranger technician and be willing to pay for his or her time to check the wiring and modules. At labour rates of $100/hour or more, trying out a used cluster will very likely be much cheaper. “Hi Brian, I Googled parking lots for new unsold cars and was astonished by the millions of cars that have never been sold and are parked in mega lots to rot. Would these cars not be better off recycled? Maybe today’s new cars wouldn’t be so expensive if the manufacturers didn’t yearly make more cars than demand calls for. If everyone refused to buy a brand new car for one year I think maybe the manufacturers would get the hint. Your thoughts?” Debby Some of the information received on the Internet can be a bit of an exaggeration (hard to believe, I know) but as with many things on the web, sometimes there’s a bit of truth as

well. Prior to the bankruptcy and bailouts of two large Detroit-based automakers, it was a common practice for these companies to produce far more vehicles than their dealers were ordering. Then, at the end of a model year, deep discounts and incentives were applied to move these mountains of metal, often at very low profit margins. While I’m not entirely conversant with European or Asian production practices, I’m pretty safe in stating that everything produced for the North American market, does end up on the road eventually. After the North American bailouts, carmakers seem to have learned their lessons and are periodically shutting down assembly lines for short periods of time when inventories start to climb and get stagnant. But if you see them return to the end-of-model year deep discounts, you may be excused for believing they’re back to their old tricks. What the last recession proved is that if a major manufacturer doesn’t have some degree of flexibility built into their financial planning and production schedules, (especially when it comes to cutting back in low demand times) they are doomed to failure and I’m not a fan of bailing them out again. As for putting off purchasing a vehicle for a year, many consumers don’t have much choice, but when you consider how many of our tax dollars went into the bailouts, per-

haps we might be owed a new car from certain makers. Upcoming events On Saturday, June 21 the Ottawa Jaguar Club presents EUROCARS 2014 and Jaguar Show ‘n’ Shine at the Rockcliffe Flying Club.

Twitter and 5-1-1 added to AMBER Alert messages News – When an AMBER Alert is issued, timing is critical, and police need to get information out fast. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is adding Twitter and the MTO 5-1-1 roads infoservice as new tools to get the details about a child abduction occurrence out

as quickly as possible to as wide an audience as possible. With the use of Twitter, an AMBER Alert will travel among thousands of cell phones and electronic devices within seconds. And with the capability for Twitter subscribers to not only receive

but to ‘retweet’ information, police know that an AMBER Alert announcement can be multiplied to thousands of people fast. Twitter will enhance the Ontario AMBER Alert Program by enabling public notifications to a growing

network of partner-agencies who spread the word whenever there is a report of an abducted child anywhere in Ontario who may be in danger. Earlier this year, the Ministry of Transportation announced they would also partner with the Program by making

it easier for the public to be informed quickly whenever an AMBER Alert is in effect. Now when motorists see an AMBER Alert on overhead highway signs, they can dial 5-1-1 for information regarding the alert in effect to obtain information on suspect vehicles.

SMITHS FALLS

RELAY FOR LIFE 2014 Relay for Life hits $50,000 mark in Smiths Falls By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

News – The numbers are down from last year, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of Amanda Gifford, fundraising coordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. “It was a fantastic night in Smiths Falls,” Gifford said Monday. “We got lucky in Smiths Falls because the rain held off, but our Brockville event was hit by a thunderstorm.” Despite the threat of rain in Smiths Falls, there were 22 teams who took part in the 12-hour, overnight Relay for Life, raising $50,020 this year. Thirtynine survivors were included in the initial lap around the track. There were also 522 luminaries lit in honour or in memory of loved ones, and 256 participants took turns walking for the 12hour period. Cancer Kicking Cousins was the top fundraising team this year, topping $8,427. They had a big boost from Precision Hair Design, who held a Streak for the Cure event. Brian Paquette, (Coach Brian from Zendragon), got the crowd started during an emotional opening ceremonies. He was there to lead the warm-up of participants before the relay, but he also inspired those present with his own reasons for taking part. “Last year, we were here for Zoe,” he said, of his young friend – a child, whose life ended from cancer just weeks after last year’s relay. Paquette then shared a story about a little boy who wanted to help save the starfish that were washed ashore after the tide dragged them in… much to the chagrin of the old man who told him he couldn’t make a difference to the thousand of starfish that had washed up on the shore. “The little boy picked up just one starfish and threw it back in the ocean and said to the old man, ‘I made a difference to that one.’” Paquette’s message was clear – we can’t always make big miracles happen, but we can make a thousand little miracles happen every day – each and every one of us, he said. “Make your day count.” Comparison Last year, 25 teams raised $71,000 in Smiths Falls; Almonte’s totals were down $25,000 this year, but still over $100,000. Brockville’s totals topped the region with $102,229. Gifford noted that they had fewer, but larger teams, as many joined together this year. Brockville reported having 11 less teams this year, with 28 participating. Just three years ago, the event was held at the Lombardy fairgrounds, as a milestone was hit in 2011 – the $3 million mark after 12 years running. This was attained after some $250,000 was raised by 65 teams in Lombardy alone. When asked if they’d move the relay back to Lombardy from Smiths Falls, Gifford was hesitant at first. “No,” she said. “There were a number of issues we had to tackle at Lom-

The Smiths Falls Relay for Life topped $56,000 June 13 for the Lanark, Leed and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society.

bardy that we don’t have here in Smiths Falls at the high school.” Fire is just one of those issues. “At the high school, we can’t have open burning – camp fires or barbecues – because it’s school policy. But after speaking about this with the team captains, they were fine with that. There were a number of people who didn’t like the blowing smoke from the open air burning.” Noise from generators was another concern. Camper trailers, which used the generators for power, were allowed in Lombardy, but not at the high school. The generators created another problem for participants, which was alleviated by the move. But even so, Gifford says there are a number of ways people can donate to the Canadian Cancer Society, and money is still coming in from their online

sponsorship page, which is open until the end of July. “We have so many ways to donate,” she says. “We have a number of fundraisers, and people are still donating to the cause. It’s just spread out more over the course of the year.” A new event will be held this year in Kemptville at Riverside Park with a 2km and 5km fun run. The event, to be held Sept. 27, is called Neon Nights and money raised from this fundraiser will go to childhood cancer. Another newer event earlier this year was the Rave-a-lution, a dance/exercise party held at the Perth Civitan Club. Gifford hopes to find some volunteers to help her with the second installment of this initiative. For more information on the Canadian Cancer Society, please visit their website: www.cancer.ca.

Take action against cancer now! Changing public policy is one of the most effective tools for preventing cancer and helping those living with and beyond cancer. The best way to change public policy is for Canadians to speak up and make our collective voices heard. Funding of take home cancer drugs It is estimated that 2 out of 5 Canadians are expected to develop cancer in their lifetime. Cancer is stressful enough without adding the extra burden of financial stress and anxiety related to drug access. Unfortunately, the current system in Ontario often does create this additional stress, and at times delays or prevents patients from accessing cancer medications. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that Ontario develop a provincial program that provides full coverage for eligible cancer drugs taken at home. Ontario has the opportunity to study and review the programs in the other provinces and develop a program that is right for Ontario. It is essential that stakeholders, including the Society, Cancer Care Ontario, patients, and the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, be part of the discussion and involved in the development of the program. Flavoured tobacco In order to remain profitable, the tobacco industry must find new smokers to replace those who die from tobacco related disease or quit. Flavoured tobacco products are designed to appeal to youth and are available in candy and fruit flavours and are often wrapped in shiny

youth-friendly packaging. The Canadian Cancer Society is asking the government to #endtheflavour and ban all flavoured tobacco products, including flavoured smokeless tobacco products. Attempts have been made to ban flavoured tobacco but they have not been enough. In 2010, both the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada banned the sale of candy-flavoured cigarillos. This law didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go far enough because it only banned one product: cigarillos. The law is ineffective because it has a loophole

that defines a cigarillo as 1.4 grams or less. This opened the door for the same product, just larger, to be made. This means that candy-flavoured cigarillos as well as a wide variety of other flavoured tobacco products are still being sold in Ontario. This is why we need a complete ban on flavoured tobacco products. What you can do There are lots of ways you can advocate and help in the fight against cancer.

Dragon sequel offers wonderful adventure Planked brie with blueberry chutney perfect as appetizer or dessert

MOVIE: How to Train Your Dragon 2 STARRING Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Cate Blanchett, Craig Ferguson, Kit Harington and Djimon Hounsou DIRECTOR: Dean DeBlos RATING: PG Arts – How to Train Your Dragon 2 will break your heart, and then set your spirit soaring. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, but what an incredible ride. It’s been five years since Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) and Toothless made peace between the people of Berk and the dragons. Life on Berk has become a lot better, but Hiccup is still searching for something. He’s still not sure who he is, and his father, Chief Stoic (Gerard Butler), isn’t helping with talk of Hiccup becoming chief. There’s a whole world to explore and mysteries to discover. New islands and new dragons that Hiccup wants to find. One of these explorations leads Hiccup to someone he never dreamed of meeting: his mother Valka (Cate Blanchett). Valka wasn’t eaten by a dragon, she was taken by a dragon. She’s spent the last 20 years living with dragons and learning all about them. She’s also been rescuing dragons from Drago Bloodfist

My Take MARK HASKINS

(Djimon Hounsou). Drago is a bloodthirsty warrior who’s been building a dragon army to conquer the world. The only ones in Drago’s way are Hiccup, Valka, Stoic and all the rest of Berk’s dragon riders. Drago is unlike any foe Hiccup and Toothless have faced. Drago’s army is unlike anything the world has ever seen. This is their greatest test. When an animated film is this rich, this lush, this gorgeous you lose yourself in it. It’s at the point where you forget you’re watching an animated film. This is the experience of How To Train Your Dragon 2. This world, these characters and these dragons become living things right there on the screen, and even though they’re animated they become real. This isn’t a story but an adventure. Before the credits are done you’re flying across the ocean and riding the backs of dragons. This film pulls you in

and connects with you in a way that all films hope to do, but few actually do. The entire cast returns for this sequel, and they’ re perfect. Gerard Butler and Craig Fergusson are two of my favourite Vikings. America Ferrera gives Astrid her fire and fight, and Jay Baruchel not only gives Hiccup his voice he gives him his soul. Along with the returning cast members are a few new voices. I can’t think of anyone better to be the voice of Hiccup’s fierce dragon loving mother than Cate Blanchett. Kit Harington is a nice addition to the cast as dragon wrangler Eret, and Djimon Hounsou is everything you could hope for in a villain who breaks dragons to his will. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is one of those rare films that isn’t so much a movie as it is an experience. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Catholic school board using technology for improved communication between schools News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held June 3 at the board office in Kemptville. CDSBEO schools value and appreciate the power of communication. Technology has vastly transformed and improved communication through better accessibility, flexibility and the ability to more easily collaborate. Schools are making the most of technology when communicating with students, parents and our Catholic school communities. Tom Jordan, superintendent of school effectiveness, presented information to the board regarding some of the ways which technology is being leveraged by schools to improve and enhance communication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Synrevoice program, which allows schools to send out a recorded message via telephone to parents, is used extensively throughout the board. It is an excellent tool for sharing general information, reminders, and providing updates to parents regarding changes to school routines,â&#x20AC;? explained Jordan. Schools websites are tools used extensively by board schools, as well as teacher sites, which are used to provide updates, information, and homework information to students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Close to 45 per cent of our schools are also utilizing Facebook and Twitter to communicate with students and parents. The tools also help to share good news stories and photos,â&#x20AC;? added Jordan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition, approximately 42 per cent of our Catholic school councils are utilizing some form of electronic communication with their parent communities.â&#x20AC;? Technological initiatives through-

out the board are linked to the CDSBEO strategic plan, which outlines that the board is committed to seek out and utilize technologies, including social media, to ensure effective and efficient communication practices. J.L. Jordan Catholic School â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christ is Our Compassâ&#x20AC;? program For any individual, business, organization, school, or society to be able to succeed at consistently moving in the direction of their vision, each individual must be able to identify and embrace a core set of values and remain true to these values through the development of habits of mind, and habits of soul. Since 2008, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Compass is Christâ&#x20AC;? program has helped individuals set and achieve their vision for themselves, and for their school. J.L. Jordan Catholic School principal, Paul Mantha, developed the vision and established the program six years ago, while vice-principal at Bishop Macdonell Catholic School. Based on his own personal mission statement developed nearly 20 years ago, Mantha created the program from a need for direction and focus. It provides students, staff, and families with four common principles to aspire to. These principles become their mission, their common language and practice, as they move toward a common goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program was inspired by my own beliefs around the need for a personal mission statement, and also from Stephan Coveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas around core values, and Ron Morrishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas around the importance of taking the time to teach the little things,â&#x20AC;? explained Mantha in his presentation to the board.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first year it was put in place at Bishop Macdonell, the program was embraced by staff and within the first year of implementation we saw a reduction of over 50 per cent in behavioural incidents and suspensions. All staff were focusing on teaching from a proactive stance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we were not relying on intervention and consequence alone, we invested heavily in prevention,â&#x20AC;? he added. Focused on a set of core values and collective visioning, the program is discussed and reviewed with staff, students, and the community at the beginning of each school year. It is then reviewed and reinforced with students several times throughout the year. Core values set out in the program establish direction and help maintain a clear focus. The vision, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guided by the Holy Spirit, we create a community of peace where all learners think clearly, act wisely, feel deeply, and live responsibly,â&#x20AC;? has been incorporated the programs core values on a poster. This summary is displayed prominently in all public areas and classrooms, to help with daily reflection on the program principles. The four cardinal points, which are listed on the poster with supporting information, include: Focus on Excellence, Do the Right Thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Even When No One is Looking, Treat People with Respect, and Leave a Legacy. The points of focus are based on Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachings, and are the core values of the compass program. The school has also adopted a theme song called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes I Canâ&#x20AC;? to help encourage students with following the moral compass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition, Compass Champions Awards are given every two weeks by

teachers at a school assembly, and students listen intently as to why each student received the award,â&#x20AC;? added Mantha. Aboriginal role models in the classroom The CDSBEO continues to strive to meet the goals set forth in the Ontario First Nation, MĂŠtis, and Inuit Education Policy Framework. In doing so, there has been an intentional focus on collecting and analyzing data connected with our self-identified students and creating initiatives which respond to what the data is indicating. Curriculum consultant and Aboriginal education lead, Jennifer Deschamps, presented information on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aboriginal Role Models in the Classroomâ&#x20AC;? initiative, which has been piloted in four schools where there are clusters of selfidentified students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through this initiative, opportunities are created for students to interact in cultural ways with Aboriginal role models and at the same time help build awareness for all students and educatorsâ&#x20AC;? explained Deschamps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is also increasing the involvement of First Nation, MĂŠtis and Inuit community partners with our Catholic schools.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We looked at the research, specifically in Ontario, which focused on the importance of integrating our self-identified students through Aboriginal teachings, as well as the importance of building partnerships with the Aboriginal community, and between students and the Aboriginal community,â&#x20AC;? she added. Aboriginal community members, who were selected to become the role models for the various schools, and grade levels,

were connected directly with the geographical region of each school. As the Aboriginal education lead, Deschamps partnered with school educator teams and Aboriginal community partners to make collaborative decisions about how the Aboriginal role model experiences would unfold in each school. In all schools involved, Aboriginal role models made multiple visits to their assigned school and facilitated cultural experiences in both formal and informal settings, allowing opportunities for students to learn, to interact, and to build relationships and pride. Annual report on provision of special education services The Special Education Plan for June 2014, as outlined in the Standards for School Boardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Special Education Plans, has been compiled by consulting with necessary stakeholders and involving key participants in the process. The report includes recommendations to be implemented, including the staff to be allocated for schools, professional development, as well as plans for communication and involvement of parents. Superintendent of school effectiveness, Dr. Donaleen Hawes, brought forth the annual report on the provision of special education programs and services to the board. The report was presented to the special education advisory committee, on Wednesday, May 28, and the committee unanimously supported the recommendations included. The report and accompanying recommendations were also approved by the board for submission to the Ministry of Education. Submitted by the CDSBEO. R0012757045
