Runners Royal March for Saturday’s Kilt Runners The annual Perth, world-record Kilt Run will be taking to the streets again this Saturday, June 24, with the starting pistol firing off at 6 p.m. This year’s 2017 edition is being run not only with a Canada 150 theme, as well as an “All Things Maple.” The big race is, of course, the 8 km run, as well as the Royal Mile, and kids races such as the Wee Lad and Lassie, and the Youth Warrior and Lad/Laddie 1 km. This year’s race will be a little different in that runners will be gathering at Stewart Park starting at 5:15 p.m., leaving the Market Square area for the Runners Royal March throughout the downtown area, across Gore Street East, into the Tay Basin/Crystal Palace area, onto Drummond Street, before turning left onto Foster Street, and back down onto Gore Street East. The 900 metre march will take about 10 minutes, with the march

Brigade of voyageur canoes sets off on adventure from Kingston June 24 Each of the brigades will bring a bottle of water “from what you consider the start of your journey,” he explained. Here, in the shadow of Parliament Hill, all participants will join in a special water ceremony, “a mixing of the waters to represent we’re all one

STAFF

Canadians from coast to coast will gather in Kingston later this month, set to embark on a week-long trek to the nation’s capital via the historic Rideau Canal. Officially setting off from Rideau Acres campsite just north of the city on June 24, the ‘Canada 150 South Wind Voyageur Canoe Brigade’ will feature close to 140 paddlers in more than a dozen 26-foot voyageur canoes. Over the next seven days, they will make their way to Ottawa with overnight stops in small communities all along the waterway, eventually meeting up with participants from three other ‘brigades’ on July 1 who will be traveling to the capital from the East, West and North. The final destination will be Victoria Island on the Ottawa River, where the participants will join in a welcome ceremony organized by the Anishinaabe First Nation. “It’s a journey of reconciliation,” says Max Finkelstein, one of this country’s foremost paddlers and explorers, and one of the key organizers of the South Wind Brigade. According to Finkelstein, the first overnight stop along this adventure “if all goes well” will take place at Jones Falls (June 24). From there, the brigade will travel up to Newboro (June 25), Perth (June 26), Smiths Falls (June 27), Merrickville (June 28), Kemptville (June 29), past Manotick to the Black Rapids locks, the longest single-day stretch at 43 kilometres (June 30) and finally portaging the locks next to the Chateau Laurier hotel in Ottawa to the Ottawa

nation.” Finkelstein, also a well-known author who has chronicled many of his travels, says this is a unique way to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial by bringing Canadians together from all corners of the country.

DIO U T S S E K A UR O RIDEAU L T N E D R AND GA Y 1ST 10AM TO 5PM River. What will make this week all the more special will be the various welcome events and presentations planned at some of the destinations along the route. “We wanted to have community support as well,” he said. In explaining the motivation for the event, the website (fourwindsbrigade. wordpress.com) notes it’s a chance to highlight the history of the voyageur canoe as well as the rivers and peoples who have played such key roles in helping build Canada to what it is today. “Traditionally, voyageur canoes carried cargo of furs and trade goods. But these canoes will carry a different kind of payload – ideas, hopes and dreams. Our mission is to draw attention to the need for everyone, from citizen advocacy to the highest political echelons to the spirit of reconciliation – we want to see a Canada where all cultures can work and live together in

peace and harmony and justice, and to also highlight reconciliation with the ecosystems that support us.” “To me this will truly be a journey that brings peoples together,” Finkelstein said. While the South Wind Brigade is a mostly leisure event, there will be an opportunity for some participants looking for a little competition. On July 1, the group will be passing by the Rideau Canoe Club and have an opportunity to participate in their international Canada Day Regatta. “There will be voyageur canoe races around 10 in the morning,” he said. “For me it’s a bit historical” in that the last such races at the regatta go back 50 years. “Hopefully this can be the start of a new tradition.” After portaging around the Ottawa locks (“A good Canadian experience,” Finkelstein said) the brigade will travel one kilometre along the Ottawa River to Victoria Island (Asinabke).

Showy Lady's Slippers on track to blooming at Purdon Conservation Area The famous Showy Lady’s Slipper orchids that Purdon Conservation Area is known for are right on track for their mid-June bloom. As of today, the orchids are at 10 per cent bloom. “Father’s Day weekend is our benchmark for the peak bloom period to start and the orchids have fared well despite this spring’s extreme rainfall amounts,” said Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) community relations co-ordinator Shannon Gutoskie. “This idyllic site is home to the largest colony of Showy Lady’s Slipper orchids in Canada and we welcome visitors from near and far to take in one of the Seven Wonders

Showy Lady’s Slippers

of Lanark County.” The orchid colony, which consists of more than 16,000 blooms, exists today thanks to the care and cultivation of Mr. Joe Purdon — the conservation area is a truly amazing legacy of this local stewardship pioneer. After purchasing the property in 1984 with the help of the Nature Conservancy of Canada, MVCA pledged to preserve the site for public enjoyment. The conservation authority cares for the colony following a management plan created by Ted Mosquin, a well-known ecologist, who has volunteered his expertise since the mid1980s. The active management of the

site consists of some tree clearing to allow more light into the fen, water level management through the beaver pond (also known as Purdon Lake) and hand pollination. “Located north of the village of Lanark off County Road 8, visitors can stroll along the boardwalk for an up close view of the flowers, identify plants and wildlife through interpretive signs, discover the woodland that surrounds the wetland and orchid colony by walking the 1.3-kilometre forest trail and stop for a rest and a picnic beside Purdon Lake,” boasts Gutoskie. “The boardwalk, parking lot and washrooms are wheelchair ac-

Three big changes now happening for tourism in Ontario’s Highlands Big changes in tourism are here for communities located between Haliburton Highlands and the Ottawa Valley. Ontario’s Highlands has a new regional identity, Come Wander, which draws on the latest tourism research and marketing trends to capture the attention of visitors through a unique approach: storytelling. Shifting away from traditional tourism promotion, this new long-term regional brand deploys digital-first content marketing tactics that reflect the changing and competitive global tourism landscape. Ontario’s Highlands is now one of the first Regional Tourism Organizations (RTOs) in the province to adopt such an approach, with a goal of transforming the region — currently a “hidden gem” in Ontario — into a provincially-recognized destination known for its vibrant experiences and unmatched rural treasures. Locals, businesses, and tourism supporters in the region will notice three big changes to the tourism landscape in Ontario’s Highlands: 1. Stories are used to inspire Utilizing research specific to consumer behaviour during the path to purchasing travel, Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) determined the most effective stage on which to connect with consumers as an organization is during the ‘dream phase’, when visitors’ first have an inkling to get away. According to a recent study by Google, this moment in the average consumer’s journey (over a four-month period) includes more than 7,000 digital travel touchpoints, 534 Google searches, and 1400 image views. Come Wander has been created to connect with consumers at this stage to inform and inspire visitors, and to enrich their interactions with Ontario’s Highlands by sharing engaging stories of the region that connect them with the unique travel opportunities the region has to offer. Stories are being digitally shared through the new regional website, ComeWander.ca, as well as social channels and consumer e-newsletters. 2. Familiar faces are being highlighted Come Wander brings local characters and familiar faces front and centre. Recognizing that no one knows the stories, the hidden gems, and the unexpected moments found in Ontario’s Highlands better than the locals who experience the region every day, OHTO has created opportunities for locals to contribute content to the

new regional website, ComeWander.ca, and to be featured themselves. In an effort to highlight local characters, the website includes a special ‘Meet the Locals’ page currently populated with five local feature stories, and plans for more to come. 3. Hometowns are now “wander-friendly” With the new Come Wander identity, OHTO is marketing the region as the ideal place to wander in mind and body; to be guided by curiosity, not strict itineraries; and to be open to new discoveries, unexpected moments, and hidden gems. OHTO has drilled down on their ideal visitor to identify five wandering types: the Creative Cruiser, the Memory Maker, the Serenity Seeker, the Freedom Finder, and the Rustic Roamer, which will allow them to better connect consumers with the region and the experiences they are seeking. To create buzz about this wandering ideology and push launch messaging, OHTO is encouraging consumers to discover their inner wanderers by both hosting a contest and establishing ‘Urban Wandering Installations’ in Ottawa and Toronto on key dates throughout the summer. The contest runs until Sept. 15 and invites consumers to visit FindYourInnerWanderer.ca to enter to win one of five Wandering vacations. Wandering Installations will recreate the Ontario’s Highlands experience with promotional Come Wander compasses and a giant “Highlands” deck chair, available for consumers to pose in and post photos to social media. All launch tactics will drive the consumer to the website to discover their inner wanderers and connect with the stories of the region. This unique approach brings together the best content marketing tactics with an ideology that resonates with city dwellers looking to escape and explore. Recognizing the reality that visitors research travel online, the majority of OHTO’s marketing efforts will be focused on inspiring consumers through digital platforms, specifically: Comewander.ca, social media, and consumer eblasts. In addition, OHTO will be launching an Influencers Program, which looks to online personalities with a large following to share their experiences in the region. Finally, OHTO will continue its internal influencer program with The Wanderer, maintain media relations efforts, and explore paid media opportunities.

Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program looking for volunteers throughout the area

Operation Freeze helps youth to be ‘cool’ this summer Demonstrating positive behaviour and participating in random acts of kindness is the "cool" thing to do this summer. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is proud to be partnering once again with Mac's Convenience Stores across Ontario for this year's Operation Freeze 2017. OPP officers will be on the lookout, and if they catch a youth showcasing positive behaviour in their community, that youth may receive a thank you in the form of a ticket for a Mac's Froster drink. A youth may receive a "positive ticket" from an officer for a number of positive behaviours: helping others in need, being leaders, doing a good deed, and/or participating in community activities. Officers may also use the positive tickets as an 'icebreaker' to interact with youth. "The positive ticketing program allows OPP officers to engage with youth in a positive way and help to build relationships and trust," said OPP Insp. Robyn MacEachern, OPP Community Safety Services. In the summer of 2016, the OPP distributed more than 27,500 Operation Freeze tickets throughout the province. "Positive community engagement is an essential first step to breaking barriers and building trust," said Sean Sportun, ICPS — Manager, Loss Prevention & Security for Mac's in Central Canada.

COMMENTARY Canoe brigade to stop on route to Ottawa

F

our voyageur canoe brigades will paddle from four cardinal directions to meet in the Ottawa River on July 1. One group will be paddling south down the Rideau Canal from Kingston and stopping in all parts of our area on route. The three other brigades include east through the Ottawa River from Montreal; west down the Ottawa River from Mattawa and north down the Gatineau River from Kitigàn-zìbì (near Maniwaki). They will all meet at Asinabke (Victoria Island) which is sacred Omàmìwininì (Algonquin) territory and has been a traditional meeting place for first nations for over 5,000 years. The canoe and kayak have been integral to Canada’s history. Canada is a nation of rivers and a river of nations. Canoe trips bring to mind the indigenous people who designed these elegant craft and water, an organic compound essential for all life on earth. Together, the canoe and water serve as a catalyst to think of what we wish for this land and its peoples for the next 150 years. The mission is to highlight the spirit of reconciliation between indigenous and non-indig-

enous people for our collective future, and with ecosystems along these waterways that support life of all living creatures. The journey will show the historic role of the voyageur canoe and Canada’s rivers in the founding of our nation. It will celebrate the historical and ecological significance of rivers like the Ottawa, Rideau and Gatineau that connect our communities, our ecosystems, and our people through time and geography and at the same time, show the need to protect them. It will also celebrate the canoe as an icon of the Canadian values of cultural cooperation, international trade and respect for the environment. There will be approximately 15 crews (about 130 paddlers) with some people paddling in 24foot replica voyageur canoes and others in 36foot canoes. Paddlers will be setting up camp in towns and villages like Smiths Falls, Perth and Merrickville next week. See inside this week’s newspaper for details, or visit www.insideottawavalley.com. Organizers encourage others in non-motorized watercraft to join the brigade on July 1 as they paddle through our Capital City making Canada Day a day to remember.

Electric storms were much worse for Mother in Renfrew than New York I could sense Mother’s fear. She moved from the stove where she was working to take a quick glance out the window to the West Hill. I sat on the creton couch holding one of my favourite dolls, which helped the nervousness I felt because of Mother’s growing concern over what she saw beyond the river to the back reaches of the farm. Black clouds were coming closer, and thunder could be heard in the distance, like a heavy barrel being rolled across the kitchen floor. Even though it was the middle of the day, Mother lit two coal oil lamps and set them in the middle of the table. For some reason, she felt safer if the kitchen wasn’t so dark. There wasn’t much

Mother feared. She could work among the livestock as well as someone born and raised on the farm, and often at night, when it was blistering hot, she would take a kitchen chair and sit outside on the back stoop, alone in the darkness. But an electric storm had her blood run cold. And one was coming, there was no doubt about it. She was sure it was just a matter of time until our old log house was struck by lightning and everything we owned would be burned to the ground, and unless we took extreme precautions, so would we. Fire and an electric storm, I knew, were the only real fears Mother had. And that day, the storm sweep-

Father had no fear of a storm, even though we once lost 11 cows when the big maple tree on the West Hill was struck by lightning. But

Tips for a safe summer in Lanark County DEAR EDITOR:

Everyone wants to create good summer memories. In Lanark County, we mark the end of our cold-weather cocooning by venturing out onto our highways, lakes and rivers to take part in the great Canadian summer. As every paramedic knows, along with warmer weather comes an increase in accidents and injuries that require attention from emergency

medical services (EMS). Many of the incidents that we paramedics attend are preventable, with only a little care and forethought. My fellow paramedics and I, who work for Lanark County Paramedic Service, want to share some tips and reminders with the residents and visitors of Lanark County so that families and friends can enjoy a safe and happy summer.

From page 8

• Don’t forget the first step in an emergency is to call 911; knowing the location of your emergency will enable us to find you faster. • Make sure you’re well acquainted with all the measures that will keep everyone safe around any body of water, including lifejackets, basic swimming ability, diving awareness, knowledge of the local currents, and staying close to children at all times. • Remember that you can get sunburnt even when it’s overcast, so always wear a hat and apply sunscreen generously. Avoid heat stroke by drinking lots of water, wearing loose, light clothing and planning ways to cool down. And of course, never leave pets or children in locked cars for any length of time, even on a mildly hot day. • Drivers can avoid accidents by obeying the rules of the road and driving safely and responsibly according to

www.cancer.ca

2017

SUMMER SERIES

Ontario’s traffic laws and local conditions. Please do not drive distracted (no texting, use Bluetooth for phone calls) and of course, no driving while impaired. For those travelling on two wheels, the same advice applies – but always wear a bicycle helmet as well. • Watch what you eat – not because you’re on a diet, but because heat can spoil food quickly and cause severe illness. Keep hot and cold foods separate, cook all meat thoroughly, make sure all prep surfaces are clean and avoid cross-contamination among your foods. • A new or refresher CPR certification course is a sure way to help save a life if it is ever required.

With the unofficial start of summer now underway, let’s make sure that if you meet a paramedic, it will be over burgers and a cold drink at your neighbourhood barbecue and not in the back of one of the ambulances. On behalf of the paramedics in Lanark County, we would like to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable summer. Darryl Fleming President, CUPE 4480

From page 8

our hands, that too was a safeguard, and so there sat my sister Audrey, who thought it sheer nonsense, sitting inside the house with our feet stuck into two pairs of rubber boots! If we could get our hands on a rubber ball, so much the better. And if the phone rang off the wall, we were forbidden to go anywhere near it! And that day, our number rang two or three times, and we just sat there and looked at it. Now, the storm was raging. Mother counted the seconds between the lightning flash and the clap of thunder, which she said was a sure way of telling how close it was. At that young age, I caught the fear of an electric storm from Mother. Hiding under the covers in my bed was no solution, because it was vital that I be downstairs in case we got hit. Of course, if a storm came in the middle of the night, we were all ordered out of our beds, and made to sit in the middle of the kitchen until it blew over. Father, of course, never moved

a muscle, and slept through the most raging storms as if they were happening in some other country. But he would hear again from Mother how electric storms were much worse in Renfrew County than they were in New York City. Living beside the high buildings, she said, shielded her from the fierceness, but out in the country there was nothing to stop the roar of the thunder or the cracking of lightning. The storm was over almost as soon as it came, and all I could hear was the distant rumbling of the thunder, as it headed away from Northcote. The lamps were blown out, the windows opened to daylight, and Mother’s Rosary put back in her bedroom. We survived yet another raging electric storm in Northcote.

More Important Tips for Summer Fire Safety! • Formulate an escape route for the house or cottage. Practice fire drills regularly at least twice a year. Leave emergency numbers near the telephone. • When using a lawnmower, never fuel it while it is still hot. Give it a few minutes to cool down • Carefully read and follow the label directions on fireworks packaging • Build campfires where they will not spread; well away from tents, trailers, dry grass, leaves, overhanging tree branches or any other combustible.

Use barbecue grills away from the house, tent, or anything that can easily catch fire.

• Some municipalities do not allow open air burning. Always check with your local fire department for questions, instructions and permits. For more information and helpful safety tips visit www.mcscs.jus.gov.on.ca/ english/FireMarshal/OFM_main.html This message was brought to you by the

Clarkson returns for seventh summer season to open legendary comedy When the Classic Theatre Festival’s mainstage season opens June 23 with the legendary Bernard Slade comedy Same Time, Next Year (sponsored by CogecoTV), many audience members will recognize the performer playing George, a married man who gets together for an annual weekend with a married woman named Doris, played by Lana Sugarman. Clarkson says his character is “the same mass of walking contradictions that we all are. He describes his life as a mess, but he became an accountant because figures don't lie, and he takes comfort in that.” Clarkson notes that among George’s conflicted feelings is the fact that “he considers himself happily married, but falls in love with Doris and carries on a yearly tryst with her for decades. He feels terrible guilt, but doesn't want to stop. He alternates between self-centred obliviousness and being aware enough to know when he's made a mistake, and to apologize for it.” The veteran Classic Theatre Festival performer — now appearing in his seventh consecutive summer season — says “the scope of playing a person over the span of a quarter century is what makes it tricky. Each scene is set in a distinct era, five years apart, and George and Doris clearly reflect the changes of the society in which they live. Lana and I can't play symbols though, and Slade walks the line between letting

the characters suggest the times outside their never changing hotel room, and being the messy human beings in love that they are.” Being on stage the whole time is a challenge that Clarkson likens to running a marathon that, while testing his endurance, benefits from the fact that “there's really no opportunity to let your guard down, to be distracted backstage as you wait for 15 minutes for your next scene. You get to live in the world you've help create, for the duration of the show.” While the play and film of Same Time, Next Year (with Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn) were hugely popular with baby boomers, Clarkson notes: “The characters are actually older than boomers, so if anything, this is an opportunity for a boomer to get a glimpse of what life may have been like for their parents. But for all that, Slade doesn't write Doris and George as bland 1950s stereotypes. “Slade made his name as a TV writer in the 60s, but this play allowed him to go so much deeper than a sitcom would. It's kind of the best of both worlds to me: there's a rhythm to the writing that calls to mind all the great sitcoms I watched from the 60s and 70s (like Barney Miller) but the story has depth and we get to see these characters develop over more than the 22 minutes a sitcom would afford. The foibles of these characters, the mix of neuroses and heart,

will probably feel familiar to anyone who's seen a Neil Simon play or even Seinfeld.” Same Time, Next Year runs until July 16, Tuesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., with 8 p.m. shows Wed. & Sat. It’s followed by the Shaw comedy Candida and the Peter Colley thriller I’ll Be Back Before Midnight. They take place at 54 Beckwith Street East (at Harvey). Historic walking plays are also running seven times a

week, with Perth through the Ages’ Confederation-themed story Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. (meeting at the Perth Museum) and the Thursday and Friday evening ghost walk (an 1867 meets Expo67 time travel comedic romp) begins at 7 p.m. For tickets to the 2017 summer season, call 1-877-283-1283 or visit www.classictheatre.ca Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival

True, that kind of idiocy is an exception. But it shows where this trend is heading and at what speed. At the same time, OPP is warning vulnerable road users including motorcyclists, bicycle riders and pedestrians to take extra care and wear reflective materials at night to ensure they can be seen. I will leave the conclusion of this piece to the police. An OPP spokesperson recently had this to say about aggressive driving. “You decide your speed and manoeuvres.

Races are taking place on busy roadways, in heavily populated metropolitan areas, at any time of day or night. It isn’t restricted to back roads or parking lots as it once was. As a result, even more innocent drivers and passengers are having their lives and long-term health put at risk by someone else’s stupidity! In April a coalition of Ontario police forces launched an initiative called Project ERASE. The acronym stands for “Eliminate Racing Activity on Streets Everywhere.” It was started in response to an alarming increase in stunt driving charges early in 2017 which OPP say mirrors the spike in road fatalities. In February in Toronto a man was clocked by police driving at 203 kilometres per hour in a 60 kph zone. He was charged with three offences under the Highway Traffic Act, his licence

The Studio Theatre's new season is more than just six funny, dramatic, romantic plays by some of the world's greatest playwrights. It's also a whole year of reasons to get out of the house, take in dinner with friends, and enjoy a fantastic theatre experience right here in Perth. Season passes go on sale this Saturday, June 24, and you won't believe how little it costs for a whole year of outstanding live theatre. The 2017-2018 season begins Sept. 28 with Anne Chislett's The Tomorrow Box, a funny, heartwarming family comedy-drama about an old married farm couple who still have a thing or two to learn about each other. Ultimately, they discover that finding their own road is the best way to stay together for life. The Tomorrow Box is directed by Carolee Mason. Next, it's the 2017 edition of An Evening of One-Act Plays, two bitesize plays in one evening of fun, beginning with Alison Williams' Hamlette, directed by Laurie Reesor. To laugh or not to laugh? No question! Hamlette takes the Bard's classic play, throws it in a blender, and shakes it up into a sidesplitting comedy told in under an hour with just five actors. The second one-act of the evening is Virtual Reality by the great Alan Arkin, a wacky, deeply funny tribute to the conjuring powers of theatre. Virtual Reality is ably directed by Jane Stott.

Premièring Nov. 30, it's A Christmas Story, a holiday comedy adapted by Philip Grecian from Jean Shepherd's classic American stories about growing up in the Midwest of the 1940s. All nineyear-old Ralphie Parker wants under the Christmas tree is a genuine Red Ryder BB gun. What happens next is pure family fun, and a story that has become a holiday staple for millions. A Christmas Story is directed by Patricia Parry. The new year begins Feb. 1 with Norm Foster's On A First Name Basis, the delightful story of a successful but cantankerous novelist who suddenly discovers that he knows nothing about his maid of 28 years. She, on the other hand, knows absolutely everything about him! It's a love story and a mystery, wrapped in witty dialogue and vivid imagery, with revelations that are surprising, funny, and moving. Veteran director Jeremy Dutton helms this charming comedy by Canada's most-produced playwright. Next, premièring April 5, it's Michael Healey's The Drawer Boy. This poignant drama replays the adventures of a young Toronto actor who visits the rural Ontario home of two elderly bachelor farmers, Morgan and Angus, to "research" farm life for a new play. Along the way, art becomes life as the young actor's play awakens Angus's memories of the past. Roberta Peets directs this play about the power of storytelling to

transform lives. Finally, in keeping with the Studio Theatre's tradition of finishing the season on a musical high note, it's The Bridges of Madison County - A Musical, premièring May 24, directed by C. Lee Bates. Francesca is a dedicated Iowa housewife, living a simple yet dispassionate life. When her family goes away to the State Fair in Indianapolis, she meets a handsome National Geographic photographer named Robert, who asks her for directions to the covered bridges of Madison County. The two begin an emotional fourday love affair that has repercussions long after it ends. Based on the bestselling novel by Robert James Waller, The Bridges of Madison County- A Musical, features a lush Tony award-winning score by Jason Robert Brown, played live on stage by some of our area's finest musicians. Studio Theatre season ticket packages are available at the Studio Theatre box office, 63 Gore St. E., Saturday mornings between 10 a.m. and noon all summer, and an hour before each performance. They are also available at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St., Perth, in-store, by phone or online (shadowfax.on.ca; 613-2676817). Shadowfax accepts credit cards and charges a modest service fee.

The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.

Thankfully, many devices and systems specially designed to help seniors self-manage their daily life are available on the market.

Therefore, whether it’s to help them go to the bathroom, get dressed, eat or move around, seniors can choose from a wide range of equipment intended to simplify everyday tasks and reduce the risk of domestic accidents. Here are just a few examples: • Personal care: bath and shower chairs, bathroom support rails, faucets with elongated handles, slip-resistant bath mats and shower treads, long-handled hairbrushes, etc. • Mobility: canes, elevated and standard wheelchairs, walkers, stair lifts, bed

SPECIAL FEATURE

Senior Living at It’s Best!

Help at home personalized care services for seniors With an aging population whose life expectancy is constantly on the rise, more and more businesses and organizations are offering personalized homecare services to assist senior citizens. Thanks to these initiatives, the elderly now have the opportunity to remain in the comfort and privacy of their own home for longer than ever — a dream come true for many! SIMPLIFYING EVERYDAY TASKS Families can choose from a wide range of residential care services tailored to the various functional needs of seniors. Between housecleaning (vacuuming, mopping, dusting, etc.), routine chores (laundry, ironing, etc.), meal preparation (cooking, catering, etc.), personal care

(manicures, shaving, etc.) and hygiene, the many available forms of assistance can enable seniors to maintain their independence and enjoy a better quality of life throughout their golden years. Furthermore, help with running errands or attending medical appointments is also available for those who can no longer drive or otherwise visit their local supermarket, pharmacy, hospital or bank on their own. The same applies for health care (blood tests, antibiotic treatments, injections, vaccinations, wound care, pain management, etc.) and rehabilitation (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, inhalation therapy, etc.) following an injury or surgery.

The Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation is the fundraising arm for the Smiths Falls site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. Established in 1981, the Foundation works with generous community donors in order to provide the hospital with funds it needs to purchase the critical medical equipment our healthcare professionals need to ensure our mothers, fathers, grandparents, sisters, brothers and children receives the best healthcare they deserve. Make a difference in the lives that follow

Choosing to leave a gift to your Hospital Foundation truly does ensure future generations will have the most up-to-date medical equipment for their healthcare needs. Your gift will be a very meaningful way to acknowledge your life now and for years to come it will also be a very practical addition to a financial or estate plan when tax issues are taken into consideration – even for those who think they may not have tax issues. Sometimes there is a tax burden left to relatives this can help significantly. Your professional advisor can teach you how giving may actually benefit your family after you’re gone. Impact future generations with your planned gift: let’s make a difference for future generations and include the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation in your will or estate plan.

To further discuss how you can make a difference, contact Lise Smith @ 613-283-9743 Monday to Friday; 8:00 a.m. To 4:00 p.m.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, even if you want to take the lead on something, you have to pay attention to the chain of command in this situation. This may require you to play second fiddle for a little while. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you’re motivated to get started on a new project, but you may not have the means. Find out if anyone is willing to invest in your vision. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Avoid conflicts by talking through the situation with someone who has opposing views, Gemini. When you understand others’ perspectives, you can be more accommodating.

horoscopes CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if life gets a little hectic this week, find a spot where you can relax and enjoy the quiet for a little while. Recharging the batteries may be all that’s needed. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, extend your magnanimity to someone who may have recently spurned you. This will demonstrate that you can always be counted on to do the right thing. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if others can’t see your vision, you may have to forge on and hope for the best. Not everyone understands your brand of thinking, and you need to accept that. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, now might be time for a new career or a return to the workforce if you have been away. You just may discover a new identity through your work. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Keep up the good work in furthering your relation-

ship progress, Scorpio. Your commitment is even stronger than it has been in the past. This is a great step forward. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, discuss your social calendar with others so that dates do not get confused and parties do not overlap. This way guests will not have to pick and choose which events to attend. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Ignore any hurtful comments that may come your way, Capricorn. Your emotional strength is potent, and you can successfully ride out any storm. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, if you are being called on to wear many hats at work, it is only right that you be compensated accordingly. This is a week for showing the bosses you mean business. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Remember that being in a relationship requires a lot of work, Pisces. Don’t keep your feelings bottled up and hope for the best.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

KNIGHT - In loving memory of my parents Gordon, who passed away June 29, 1996 and Lyllis, June 12, 2007 The moment that you died, My heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same. For those who still have their Mom/Dad Treat them with tender care. You will never know the emptiness As when you turn and they’re not there. Loved and missed everyday, daughter Heather

GRAHAM, Don February 21, 1942 – June 27, 2015 In loving memory: Husband, Dad, Grandpa. The moment that you left me, My heart was split in two. One side was filled with memories; the other side died with you. I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep; And take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday; But missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain; You see. Life has gone on without you, but will never be the same. Miss you, Darlene and family xo

Margaret Loynes June 4, 1931 – June 27, 2016 Is now one of our Angels Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too. I passed around the corner, and someone saw my grin. When he smiled I realized, I’d passed it on to him. So, if you feel a smile begin, don’t leave it undetected. Let’s start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected! Love you always, Barb & Wanda Dawna & Jim, Matt & Adam Carol & Ron, Wendy & John and all of the Greats!

LOST INDOOR ONLY CAT Missing since November 12/13 of 2016. It is now 6 months that Neako is missing, and I am still desperately searching for him. Neako is 13 years old, Black with White Tuxedo coloring, green eyes. It is believed he was picked up by someone driving by, and taken home, and still safe with “finder”, but they don’t know who he belongs to and unfortunately haven’t filed a found cat report. So I am still trying to spread the word to find him, and bring him home. Neako is extremely missed. Lost from 1012 Perth Road Smiths Falls/ Beckwith Area. Please call Krista 613-2994885, reward offered.

would not be suitable at this time. As she is highly energetic and powerful she is looking for that special someone who is active and strong just like her and enjoys lots of great physical activities finishing off with nice cuddles! She doesn't like cats and we think she would be best suited in a single pet home. Sadie now walks well on a leash, knows sit, stay and come. But she still likes to jump up for attention which we are working on correcting and her adopter will have to continue obedience training. Sadie is an intelligent, busy girl who is learning the joy of play and loves her red ball and stick. Antonio This handsome dark tabby is as sweet, cuddly and lovable as he is good-looking. About two years old, he has medium-long fur, short in front with magnificent long whiskers, a luxurious mane and a bushy tail big enough for a cat twice his size. Mandy At a little over six months, Mandy is barely out of kittenhood. She is active and vocal, calling for cuddles from everyone but can sometimes be a bit grumpy with other cats. For this reason she should probably be an only cat. Sneaky Pete This two-year-old arrived at the shelter so badly matted he had to have his whole body shaved. He was initially shy and inclined to hide but with only a little encouragement he has turned into a playful, outgoing and very friendly cat. His fur is growing back in beautifully so now it's like he is wearing a black velvet suit with puffy sleeves and pant-legs! Wish list KMR Powder (kitten milk replacement), Friskies Pate canned cat food, bleach and a lawn mower. Follow us if you like at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or check out our website at lanarkanimals.com. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.com or by calling 613-283-9308. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Road, Smiths Falls. AUCTIONS

Golf tournament raises book-breaking $117,000 for child literacy programs DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

What started as a casual question in a bank office in Perth has grown into a $117,000 donation to children’s literacy programs. During the 13th annual Jim Noble and RBC Dominion Securities Golf Classic on Friday, June 9, Noble, vice president and portfolio manager for RBC Noble Wealth Management, donated the above amount to the Perth and District Union Public Library’s summer literacy program, as well as a similar spinoff program at the Lanark Highlands Township library in Lanark village. “We fund any shortfalls that they have,” said Noble during a telephone interview on Monday, June 12. The literacy program is funded not only by the golf tournament, but also by the Government of Canada, and local service clubs and businesses, as well as from the returns from an endowment fund, the Perth Union Library Children’s Literacy Fund, housed at the Perth and District Community Foundation. The endowment is “intended

to fund (that program) in perpetuity,” said Noble. The money goes to hire students each summer, who act as tutors, and provides books to each child who participates. As a money manager himself, Noble knows a good investment when he sees one, pointing out that for every dollar invested into the community, and especially children, there is a $7 economic spin off later. “I can’t deliver that (type of) return!” he said with a laugh. The endowment now holds about $350,000, and the fundraising drive has raised more than $500,000 since it began 13 years ago. “Our team organizes it (the golf tournament and dinner) all,” said Noble. The money comes not only from the event itself, but from private donations from friends and clients. The golf event began as an offhand question posed to a co-worker at the RBC branch in Perth during planning for a customer appreciation day. His colleague suggested donating some money to a local worthy cause — why not child literacy? Their first donation was $600. Since the literacy program’s

He remembers reading to his own children when they were younger, and

“they loved it so much, those bedtime stories.” But he notes that it can be “taken for granted” that people read to their children — not all children are that lucky. “Not every kid has that,” he said. The event drew supporters from as far away as Kingston, Gananoque, and Macdonalds’ Corners.

“The definition of community is a group of like-minded people who have the same ideals … and (who) work towards achieving those ideals,” he said, during his speech. According to a library news release, dated Tuesday, June 13, the library’s chief executive officer and head librarian, Erika Heesen, commended Noble for

his hard work on the child literacy file. “Jim has been an incredible supporter of the library’s summer literacy program,” she was quoted as saying, “This program is entirely funded by grants and donations, and we could not do it without the support we have received from the community.”


CANADA 150 From page P1

McLaren will introduce Mayor John Fenik on stage to talk about the significance of Canada’s big anniversary, followed by free Canada Day cupcakes, courtesy of Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer. In case of inclement weather, all of the music will move to the Crystal Palace. So much effort goes into setting up the stage and scheduling bands, it was decided to create a backup plan in case of rain (or like last year — hail!). That decision will be made late afternoon, but won’t interfere with the highlight of the evening — the fireworks. Music at the Palace would finish

at 9:40 p.m., giving people time to get back to Conlon Farm to see the fireworks at 10 p.m. sharp. And speaking of fireworks — there’s a great show planned for July 1. The Volunteers with the Perth Firefighters’ Association will be at the gates to accept your donations, helping to offset the costs of the show. This year, the volunteers are trying something new — thanks to a generous grant from the Perth and District Community Foundation. The association recently purchased a Cobra remote firing system, which allows them to remotely activate the fireworks, alleviating many hours of labour for setup and offering increased safety for the operators.

Should the weather be too severe for fireworks, the show will be postponed until Sunday, July 2, 10 p.m. at Conlon Farm. For weather-related updates on the music and the fireworks, please tune in to LAKE 88.1 FM or check Perth Tourism on Facebook; we’ll be making updates live throughout the late afternoon and evening. The splash pad and playground will be open all day and weekend. Washrooms are available inside the chalet, as well as at the Legion Diamond building, and change rooms are located near the splash pad. Families are invited to bring a picnic File photo supper and spend the evening with us. Kids relax in between activities at the Kiwanis Club’s kids games at Conlon Submitted by the Town of Perth Farm last Canada Day, 2016.

New transportation master plan stresses need for new arterial road A new consultant’s report has stressed that a new arterial road is needed to prevent future traffic chaos on Perth’s roads. The transportation master plan report was presented to Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on this week by Eric Cosens, the director of development and protective services, who underlined that not having an arterial road is a prospect the report finds to be unpalatable. The report “identified several intersections impacted,” with “overall intersections and specific turning movement issues … (being) further exacerbated,” said Cosens. They also discovered that this new corridor was needed for emergency response vehicles, especially when train traffic cuts off the north and south sides of town. “(There are) possible catastrophic consequences if railway crossings are blocked,” said Coun. Judy Brown. However, promises of a road have been a long time in coming. “I’ve been mayor for 12 years and I’ve said ‘We’re going to do an arterial road, by gosh,’” said Mayor John Fenik. Deputy Mayor John Gemmell said that the plan would be incremental. “It’s on the radar and we will do it in sections,” Gemmell said, likely from Highway 7 to the Perthmore area first. Though council will not act on the report until later on this year, because, in part, of its massive size, Cosens did give a detailed analysis of the information collected by the consultants. Among the feedback received in the report: • 59 per cent of those surveyed felt that a new northsouth arterial road would be the most important improvement to the road network in town. • The majority of people using active transportation did so for recreational reasons. • 64 per cent of those surveyed felt that there was too much traffic on local streets. • 52 per cent of those surveyed would like to see a legal crosswalk to replace the courtesy crosswalks at the Gore Street East intersections with Herriot and Basin streets, giving pedestrians the right-of-way. • Responders felt that the intersections of Gore Street West and North Street and Foster Street and Gore Street were the most problematic. Intersections/Crosswalks

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

A truck attempting to make a right-hand turn from North Street onto Gore Street West, has to inch into its turn as northbound Gore traffic comes to a stop, creating a bottleneck, to accomodate the truck’s wide swing on June 16. Following last week’s police services board discussion over the hazardous intersection of Craig and Drummond, the report delved into other problem intersections across town. The three “elevated accident intersections” were identified as: • North and Wilson • Drummond and Craig • Gore Street West and North The report’s recommendations were: • To remove the south-side pedestrian crosswalk at Gore Street East and Herriot. • To widen stop bars. • To add centimetre marking about 50 metres before the intersection. • Install larger sized stop signs. • Install regulatory pedestrian crosswalks. • Have minimal impacts to existing traffic operations. • Retain heritage esthetic with crosswalks. • Better pavement markings for crosswalks. • Improve crosswalk signage. • Incorporate user-activated flashing lights at crosswalks. When it came to truck traffic, two intersections in particular were highlighted, including Wilson Street at North Street, and Gore Street East at Craig Street. The report recommends that the westbound approach on North Street be reduced to one lane, to allow for southbound trucks on Wilson to make their turns onto North more safely, without traffic in the middle lane of North having to back up … if they can. However, “geometric improvements and property are required and would be costly for minimal benefit,” at Gore and Craig. As for trucks themselves, the report recommended that the town’s traffic policy be changed to require a permit for all loads exceeding the Highway Traffic Act limit. Further to this,

the report suggested that town staff develop an application form and tiered permit fees on an annual and single-trip basis. Further to this, the report suggested developing permit requirements and/or restrictions including insurance coverage, liability for damages, and traffic control during movements or escorts. Debate “This generates much discussion,” said Fenik of the report. But with rising costs, cutbacks in money from Queen’s Park, “How much are we prepared to go into debt?” in order to tackle these issues, he wondered. During his presentation, Cosens noted that the report found that there was “a lack of trails through town,” and that the town should look at trail development as a priority, along with making town roads a “more bike-friendly configuration,” he said. “Some of these (suggested) trails are easier done first,” said Fenik. He pointed to the trails behind the Lanark County administrative buildings off of Christie Lake Road, suggesting that they could “connect that trail down right to the Peter Street bridge.” Fenik said that he has had many people approach him and say “I’d be glad to help out with the trail.” Brown said one of her biggest concerns was the intersection of Wilson and North Streets. Traffic heading southbound on Wilson is presented with a choice as it heads toward the intersection with North. The left hand lane becomes a turning lane to turn left onto North and Foster Streets. The right hand land is for drivers who wish to turn either left or right on Foster or straight ahead toward Code’s Mill. But, once having passed North Street, if that same southbound driver wishes to turn left at Foster, they may be blocked from doing so by vehicles that have

continued on in that turning lane since before North Street. “There are people who are not doing what they are supposed to do, and they are in that (left turn) lane (at Foster),” said Brown. The council was also informed that the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) would be having a public meeting about the future of Highway 7, at the Perth branch of the Royal Canadian Legion branch, 26 Beckwith St. E., on Wednesday, June 28, with a major emphasis on the possibility of roundabouts at each intersection with street lights along the Highway 7 within Perth (that would be at the intersection with County Road 511, Wilson, and Drummond Streets.) However, Coun. Jim Boldt stated that, from his own personal experience, working in Almonte, and using their roundabout daily, “roundabouts are the wrong way to go.” Oftentimes, when using the Almonte roundabout, other vehicles “damn near clip me at over 60 km/h.” As for the trucking-through-town issue, “our track route signs are lacking and need improving,” along with “enhanced police enforcement,” CoFor more on this story, visit InsideOttawaValley.com Perth Courier

sens said. Further to this, there are “a lot of transient truck drivers that are not familiar with Perth at all,” and that bad signage is “confusing” for them. For trucks turning at Foster and Gore, who are not aware that it is not the preferred truck route, “it’s chaos,” said Gemmell. While council decided to defer dealing with adopting the report until the fall, environmental services director Grant Machan was able to secure passage of three items within the report that needed attention this summer. Without that cherry-picked support, “I

can’t move forward,” with line painting on North Street, which is scheduled to start next week. Council also gave Machan support to install the new, improved trucking signs, and to get pricing and bids on new pedestrian crosswalk signage and painting, at the Gore Street East intersections with Basin and Herriot Streets. “We can’t continue to go on with minimal tax increases,” said Brown, with such infrastructure needs outlined in the report, and continue on the other town services that voters expect, she added.

My knee is smirking at me

I

t has been about six weeks since I had arthroscopic surgery on my wonky left knee. The last time I wrote on the subject, I was having a debate with myself about whether or not to take narcotics for the pain. I am pleased to report I resisted. Consequently, I am not addicted to opioids and I returned the pills to the pharmacy. (Phew.) At that point, only a few days had passed since the scope. Since then things seem to be going well. The highlight of my checkup two weeks after the procedure was having the bandages cut off. Omigoodness that felt good! I could bend better and, best of all, no longer needed to suit up with Saran Wrap and tape to shower. My waterproofing skills seemed to get worse as time passed, and as the swelling went down, the bandages got looser and saggier. The novelty was definitely wearing off. At the checkup, I was given a written report, which the surgeon then kindly translated. This was a good thing because the report contained words like “synovectomy,” “debridement,” “meniscectomy” and “abrasion arthroplasty.” It all sounded quite daunting and a bit painful. The shorter, layman’s version of the report is that it’s not the worst knee ever, but various bits and pieces (such as cartilage, bone and the meniscus) needed shaving, sanding and smoothing. Some buffing and polishing, so to speak. Neither the surgeon nor I had anything particularly alarming to report. It had gone well. I seemed to be healing nicely. No physio was required. There is even a possibility that, some day, it might not hurt much. The big question left pertained to resuming physical activity. I already knew from my pre-op visit that some activities are more favourable than others. Walking, swimming and elliptical are all good and lovely. Running … not so much. Karate? Maybe sort of kinda. My surgeon did not give me a timeline for resuming exercise. Instead he said, “Listen to your knee.” Sigh. My knee talks a lot. Fortunately, since I lost a little weight a few years ago it stopped creaking when I walked up the stairs at least. Anyway, at first it was very easy to listen to my knee. The messages were clear. I went back to work less than a week after the procedure and, I tells

Past Deadline

STEPHANIE GRAY

ya, the walk from the parking lot to my classroom to teach might as well have been a kilometre instead of 100 metres. Fortunately, all my various offices and workspaces have places for elevating limbs. In fact, I still have a weird-looking tan line on my left leg from the sunburn I got while elevating said appendage at my patio office. The marks left from the procedure (three little scars from where tiny cameras and tools went in and out) are healing well. Right now, when I look down at my knee, the scars remind me of a little smiley face — two eye dots and a smirking mouth. I’m not sure if the smirk means “we’ve got this, girlfriend” or “this is just the beginning, kid.” Maybe both. It isn’t always easy to listen to my knee. It has been, in my opinion, a bit whiny for a long time, and I am inclined to tune it out. But I think I’ve been doing a good job. I even navigated, with a fair degree of success, that perilous stage when you feel so much better that you forget your limitations and do too much. The knee has been fairly vocal about endurance and bending and carrying heavy things, so I’ve stopped when it told me to. I knew that if I wasn’t careful, it would take even longer to get back to karate. Five weeks postprocedure I decided to give it a try. After all, I’d been doing karate with a torn meniscus for about 10 months and I knew what things to avoid, such as pivots and sudden bends. I was nervous, but I knew my senseis would be accommodating. They also know I sometimes don’t listen well to my knee (because I kept showing up with a torn meniscus), so they made me behave. And … it was awesome! I was careful and didn’t push it and came away no worse than when I started and with a nice dose of karate endorphins to boot! Maybe the message in the knee smirk really is “we’ve got this!” That’d be nice ...

Local news matters

hat would happen if newspapers disappeared? Would Facebook or Twitter take over the news void? For me the answer is a clear, hard no. And while my position on the matter is coming from a biased place, after all, I do work at a newspaper. But it also comes from years of being a news consumer and a student studying the stuff. The entire news ecosystem, in large part, depends on local media and in particular print media – including the stories that have come out of The Perth Courier for the better part of 183 years. Stories don’t “come from Twitter or Facebook” as some people believe. They come from real reporters, doing real reporting; reporters who sit in council meetings, go to local community events and comb through annual reports and documents put out by think tanks, police, fire departments, municipalities and advocacy groups

EVELYN HARFORD View From Here to tell stories that matter, inform the public, impact public policy and hold governments to account. Over the years, traditional, legacy journalism has been hit hard by the rise of digital online content. Some institutions are adapting faster and better than others. The numbers of journalists and reporters stomping the pavement has dropped dramatically over the last 10 years – papers have been shut down – cities have been hit hard and smaller towns have been hit harder. Some publications have sprung up in an attempt to fill the void of institutional media, but often the reporting relies on untrained reporters and citizen journalism.

I must emphasize that while citizen journalism can be helpful, it should not be seen as a substitute to fill the void of reporters who are trained to tackle sensitive issues such as court cases, where there are serious legal ramifications if you get the story wrong, or investigative stories that require care, background and training to tackle. Local media must survive, in whatever incarnation can remain profitable enough to employ reporters who are out in the community, telling stories that matter and holding our local officials to account. This includes occupying a digital space and creating a media vehicle that is both accessible and digestible for the public. I punctuate this with my experience as a reporter in Smiths Falls. Many stories that get picked up by the CBC and larger newspapers from the Ottawa Valley, originate with local reporters.

BY TERRY O’HEARN

Our Hall of Remembrance military museum will soon be receiving a pair of combat boots for display through the Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) “Borrow a Boot” program. These are the very same boots from the 100th anniversary ceremony which took place at Vimy Ridge on April 9 this year. An installation of thousands of modern day combat boots surrounded the Vimy monument in memory of Canadian soldiers who died during the battle. According to the VAC website: “Students from Canada and France took part in laying four rows of boots, representing the four divisions of the Canadian Corps that fought for the first time as one formation at Vimy a century ago.” Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier dated Aug. 25, 1982: Regular columnist at the time Bill Smiley talks about a family member: “The occasion (a family re-

He was also active in politics and is a great environmentalist. He is beloved by his huge collection of nieces and nephews, daughter and grandchildren, and hundreds of cousins.” Did you know? The following information appears on the website of War History Online

www.warhistoryonline.com: “Auschwitz-Birkenau is rated the worst Nazi Concentration Camp. Built in Poland, it was actually a vast network of 48 sites. Also called Auschwitz I, II, and III for the main facilities, they had 45 other satellite camps. Auschwitz I originally held Polish political prisoners who were first sent there in May 1940. It was at Auschwitz II (Birkenau), where the exterminations began in 1942. Of those killed some 90 per cent were Jewish, and the rest were Poles, Soviets, Romani, Sinti, Jehovah’s Witnesses, gays, and those of mixed German blood. Though gassing was a major cause of death, so was overwork, malnutrition, poor conditions, inhumane treatment, and infectious diseases. More than 1.1 million died here.” Don’t forget our websites: www. rcl244.com and www.hallofremembrance.ca. Facebook: Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244.

Perth gears up for antique show July 1

The popular Perth Antiques Show is coming up soon on Canada Day and July 2. The Perth Antiques Show presents the perfect opportunity to find treasures from the past in the historic town of Perth. Dealers from Quebec and Ontario will offer a broad range of quality antiques including fine examples of art, china, glass, silver, textiles, jewelry, brass, tools, furniture, folk art, and decorative accessories as well as popular retro and nostalgic collectibles. A special exhibit celebrating Canada’s 150th featuring historical items from all five regions of Canada — British Columbia, the Prairies & Territories, Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes — will be on display during the Perth An-

tiques Show, July 1-2. The display is curated by Lanark County Warden Bill Dobson and items were selected from his agricultural museum in Montague Township. This exhibit was recently on display at the FCM conference held in Ottawa. This long-running show has moved to a new location, the Perth Civitan Hall, located at 6787 Hwy 43. The show will be held in the air-conditioned hall and outside under tents and is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Admission is $7, and children are free.

PDCI tops provincial goals in Specialist High Skills Major programs

Band, berries bond to bring benefits

Once again, as it has for more than a quarter-century, the Perth Rotary Club will be serving strawberries, cake, ice cream and lemonade at the Perth Citizens Band concert at the Stewart Park band stand on June 22 at 6:30 p.m. The band is celebrating its 165th year of existence, establishing it as the oldest town band in Canada. The Rotary Club’s long-standing involvement with the Citizens Band at this event has generated thousands of dollars over the years, which support local projects mainly directed to youth programs (e.g. YAK, Lanark Highlands Youth Centre, playground equipment, reading programs, Camp Merrywood). The club wishes to thank all those concert goers who have treated their ears with music and their appetites with berries at this annual event over the many years. Hopefully, many are sufficiently satisfied to continue their support in years to come. The club thanks the legal firm of Bond and Hughes for the use of its porch, and the town staff for providing tables, containers, etc. May the weather turn out to be, as it is most often is, very pleasant for next Thursday evening.

non-profit sector's common vision — to make a difference. “We have a number of community partners, including Cornerstone Landing, The Table, PEP (Perth Enrichment Program for Older Adults), Perth and District Chamber of Commerce, and Algonquin College. Some partners will be more active than others, and some will be active at different times, and for different events and activities than others. No matter what level of participation our community partners are at, we appreciate

their advice and support,” said PDCI SHSM lead teacher, Cindy Rotar. “We couldn’t run these programs without them.” A major benefit of participation in a SHSM program is that each student receives a number of sector-recognized certifications as part of the program, including First Aid/CPR, WHMIS, and basic health and safety training. “We’re very excited for the fall, as we have a major certification event planned, which is really only feasible

because we have so many students involved. A number of certifications are common to all five of our SHSM programs. In this ‘blitz’ event, we can economically provide four or five really useful workshops to all of our SHSM students, leaving enough money for each sector to do some other, more sector-specific training, later in the year.” At present, the Ministry of Education has approved SHSM programs in 19 economic sectors. Schools must apply to run each SHSM and be ap-

Ontario is expanding its Specialist High Skills Major program. Starting in September, there will be an additional 108 new SHSM programs, for a total of 1,899 across the province. Perth and District Collegiate Institute is happy to announce that its new non-profit SHSM is included in these numbers. PDCI has successfully run Specialist High Skills Major programs in Arts and Culture, Business, Sports, and Transportation Technology for a number of years. The new non-profit SHSM brings PDCI’s number to five active programs. With significantly increased participation by students in all five SHSMs, PDCI’s current footprint is 35 per cent — that is, 35 per cent of all grade 11 and 12 students are signed up and participating in one of the Specialist High Skills Major programs. By contrast, in 2016, the provincial footprint was 14 per cent, with the hope to build the provincial footprint to 25 per cent by 2019. Students participating in the new non-profit SHSM will focus their learning on community action. Whether in the fields of social services, health care, community housing, the environment, sports, recreation, or arts and culture, there are countless career paths for people who share the

Give the gift of Canada to foreign students seeking home stay homes DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

During Canada’s 150th birthday, why not give the gift of this country to a foreign student? The Canada Homestay Network (CHN) is actively recruiting more home stay families to welcome in foreign students for both short- and long-term stays, particularly in Perth, but also elsewhere throughout Lanark County. Far from the crowded streets of his native China, on the Heaton farm, located near Gilles Corners, Beckwith Township, Bobbi and Keith Heaton, along with their children Angelica, 16, a student at St. John Catholic High School in Perth, and Ashton, 15, a student at St. Luke Catholic High School in Smiths Falls, have welcomed Ricardo Wang, 17, a student from Harbin, Heilongjiang province, in the People’s Republic of China, into their home. “We’ve learned that Harbin rice is the best rice in the world,” said Bobbi during an interview around the family dinner table on Thursday, June 15. The CHN has placed students across Canada, but more locally, in Russell, Kemptville, and Perth, though they are looking for more families in Perth. “It’s more in these small communities where we have trouble getting hosts,” said Alicia Vachon, a relationship manager with the CHN, sitting with the family at their dining room table. The main goal of the company is to let “students experience what life is like in Canada,” she said. “We are always needing more … Perth is where we are pushing right now.” There are nine other students studying at Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) alongside Wang, plus a German student. In fact, shortly after Wang’s arrival on Aug. 26, 2016, he was joined by a Spanish teen who was on a shorter, six-week stay. About a year ago, the Heaton family was attending a barbecue hosted by a family from Brockville family that had taken in a student when she was in Grade 9 – and she stayed with them for several years. This past September, she began studies at Carleton University in Ottawa.

“We really lucked out,” Bobbi remembers the Brockville family saying. “This was the best experience we ever did for our family.” Afterwards, Bobbi began thinking it over – would this be a good experience for her family too? “I think we should try this,” she remembers saying. Then, pointing to her English-born husband, recalled his reaction: “He said, ‘OK dear.’” Wang arrived in the middle of the night, and was exhausted. But soon, he began to wake up, literally, to just how different this new country was. “Totally different,” admitted Wang, in excellent English. He said he was lucky to be living in rural Drummond North Elmsley Township, since “most international students live in the city,” he said. Wang has really taken to his new family. “They do everything they can for me,” he said. “They support me. I’m not homesick here at all. I am totally suited to life here.”

Connected to Your Community - P12 - Thursday, June 22, 2017

Not only did he begin to bond with his new Canadian brother and sister, but also with his Spanish “brother” too. “They bonded very well,” said Bobbi, during his six-week stay. However, the experience was over much too soon for Wang’s Spanish friend. “He (the Spaniard) was bawling because he had to go.” Immersing himself in an English-only environment has been very helpful for him to pick up the language. “I use English to talk with Mum every day,” said Wang. “We do gentle correction,” said Bobbi. Wang wants to get good marks and attend Queen’s University in Kingston next year. He will be returning home on Thursday, June 29, but plans to return to live with the Heaton family for his final year at PDCI. He even has plans, if he is accepted to Queen's, to visit the family on weekends. “It’s a fantastic experience,” said Keith. “We get another member of the family. He’s a good young man.” Wang has already experienced for himself the open hospitality of Canadians. “We welcome the world to come to Canada, that’s what (Justin) Trudeau said,” said Wang. “It’s a very immigrant country.” Families can choose the length of stay they are able to accommodate, and there is a stipend offered to cover costs to home families. But, “if you do this right, it costs you money,” said Bobbi, since “it’s not about money. If it’s about money, then what is going on here is lost.” The company does have a 24/7 emergency line so, “you are never stuck,” said Vachon. There is also an initial orientation where “they walk you through everything,” said Bobbi. For more information, visit http://canadahomestaynetwork.ca/

Henderson wins first tournament on LPGA tour of 2017 – fourth in total BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweir@metroland.com

Brooke Henderson sealed the deal Sunday at the Meijer LPGA Classic For Simply Give, capturing her fourth LPGA title with a score of 17-under par. She fired a final round 66 to win by two strokes over Michelle Wie and Lexi Thompson of the U.S. and took home the top prize of US$300,000. It was a great Father’s Day gift for her dad, Dave Henderson who along with her mom Darlene, made the trip to Michigan. “It was just like the perfect day,” she said. “Dad is my coach; he’s a great father to both my sister and I, and he’s one of our best friends. He’s with us all the time and he gave me a lot of lines early in the week that I didn’t know, that I wouldn’t normally take without him there. But he said, ‘If you want to win and you want to contend, you need to take these lines off the tee.’ I did that and I had an advantage over the rest of the field all four days. So this win, I say it’s for him but it really is for him because I probably wouldn’t have done it without him.” On having her family present, Henderson said she was thankful for the support. “I love having them here. I wouldn’t be in this position without them,” she said. “My mom and dad have sacrificed so much for me to be here and I love having them around, not only for their support off the golf course, but my dad is my coach on the golf course. So I love to have

My sister, (Brittany) she’s my caddie. I don’t think I could play as well with somebody else

on my bag. I trust her, and she trusts my decisions as well and she lets me go when she thinks I’m right, which is great. Yeah, I love having my family here. This is my first win with them and I’m really proud and happy to be able to share it with them.” It was Henderson’s first win on the tour this year. “It’s amazing. I’m super excited right now,” Henderson said. “I was shooting 3-under and I don’t think I had any bogeys today, which was great. The wind picked up. I was kind of surprised when I looked up at the leaderboard and saw that I had a two-shot lead.” Henderson had a bogey-free 3-under-par 66 (the par-5 5th hole was once again converted to a par 3 because of standing water in the fairway). She said she was super happy and glad that it’s done. Lexi Thompson, who held the lead after the third round, struggled with two-putts while Henderson regained the lead on the front nine with a pair of birdies. Making crucial par putts on 16 and 18 allowed for Henderson to keep her lead over Thompson. “That putt on 16 was really huge ... to make those putts under pressure ... there are so many great names up there (on the leaderboard) and to finish on top is really exciting.” Henderson said it was around this time last year that she won her first major. “… and seeing I was kind of looking to win

something this year that kind of meant so much. It’s kind of been a little bit tougher season for me, I haven’t got the results that I’ve been really looking for. But this week I played really well and things kind of started to turn around for me. So to get my fourth win is super exciting and I’m just excited for the rest of the summer now.” She said she’s taking next week off to do some sponsor work. “I’m taking next week off, which will be really nice. Kind of do some sponsor days, and playing in the CVS charity event (Monday, June 19) in Rhode Island.” Henderson was teamed with Billy Andrade and Keegan Bradley at the CVS Health Charity Classic which they won by one stroke. Henderson birdied the final hole to win the match. According to WPRI.com this win is the first time host Andrade has won at his own event. Andrade is a Bristol, Rhode Island native and has been a PGA Tour Pro since 1987. He and Brad Faxon have hosted this tournament for nineteen consecutive years. Henderson is then off to Illinois for the KPMG for June 29. “... my next LPGA Tour event is the major that I won last year, the KPMG PGA Championship. So it’s really exciting and it gives me a lot of confidence going into that tournament knowing that I’m coming off a win, and hopefully I can go there to Olympia Fields and defend the championship that really defined my career last year.”

Perth Tay Tennis Club seeks repairs to Conlon Farm courts

DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth town council will consider a request to repair tennis courts one and two at Conlon Farm. The Perth Tay Tennis Club has requested the repairs to the courts, and town staff will now be presenting a report on the matter to town council at their committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 1. Coun. Jim Boldt, before asking a question about the courts and the club’s use of them, made a joke at his own expense at town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, June 13: “Obviously, I don’t play tennis with this physique,” he said with a laugh, before spotting Deputy Mayor John Gemmell smirking out of the corner of his eye. “Take that smile off your face, deputy mayor,” he joked to Gemmell, before getting down to his question. “How many usually play (tennis) and how many are in the group (tennis club)?” wondered Boldt. “We don’t have data on the public use,” said community services director Shannon Baillon. “We know all of our paid users. I’ve asked my staff to start looking into it. It’s a very difficult thing to do.” Boldt wondered if it might not be a bad idea

to ask non-club users to sign in to use the courts. “Don’t they sign in now?” wondered Gemmell. Baillon replied that non-users do not have to sign in, and that clubs are booked seasonally, but signage on the courts states that if the courts are busy, and more players show up who wish to play, that players currently using the court can only remain on the court for 30 minutes before vacating for the new arrivals. “It would be nice if this club would sponsor teaching younger kids to play tennis,” said Mayor John Fenik. “I know it is a separate conversation,” he said, but noted that it would be a good way to create a new generation of tennis players who could continue using the courts after the older club members can no longer use them. “I wonder how much that court is being used,” said Fenik. HST Perth town council held off on endorsing a proposal by the Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) to ask the federal government for a one per cent hike in the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), “kind of a like a gas tax,” explained Fenik, with that extra one per cent of revenue being funnelled back to municipalities. “I’m going to respond,” said Fenik. “I don’t think we need a council resolution,” he said, promising to research the matter.

Perth Blue Devils celebrate athletics at annual awards banquet BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweir@metroland.com

EOSSAA treasurer. She has coached teams to EOSSAA championships in volleyball and badminton thus leading them to OFSAA. This success was recognized by OFSAA in 2014 as Leanne was the winner of the OFSAA School Sports Recognition Award. Leanne will be missed tremendously within Perth Collegiate, LCIAA, and EOSSAA and we wish her all the best in her pending retirement. “I'm absolutely going to miss PDCI next year,” Watt said in an email exchange. “I've spent most of my adult life at the school; it’s become a part of me. The school was an amazing place to work and coach. The kids are amazing; I'm really going to miss them. I'll definitely miss the coaching. It's such a joy to watch them grow up and become young men and women, many of whom I've stayed in touch with, work with and become close friends with.” Watt said she hasn’t ruled out coming back next year as a community coach, but “most likely I'll be in the bleachers cheering on the blue and white.”

Perth and District Collegiate Institute held a daytime celebration of its athletic program, recognizing not just their top athletes, but their entire teams. PDCI had 22 teams this year with 200 athletics taking part in one or more sport. Teacher/coach Kevin Bellamy kicked off the event saying they moved from a night time banquet atmosphere to a daytime event, and this year was “an amazing year” from start to finish. “I’m really proud of the school and its athletic program,” he said. “Afterwards, I want you to take a moment and thank your coaches for their hard work.” Bellamy also recognized fellow coach and colleague, Leanne Watt, who is retiring this year. Watt has taught for 31 years, and has coached multiple sports including: basketball, volleyball, badminton, hockey, and soccer. “For many years, she has coached for all three high school sports seasons, which is a rarity in today’s cli- Top Awards mate,” Bellamy said.
