Rideau Ferry docks open for business Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Like mariners of old seeking a safe haven after a long voyage, Rideau Ferry has finally dropped anchor at its dream of new public docks. After more than six years in the making, the docks welcomed their first official guests, and were opened with great fanfare, on Friday, June 27. Drummond/North Elmsley (DNE) Township Reeve Aubrey Churchill called the opening “an important historical event of our township and Rideau Ferry. It has been a long journey to bring back a public dock to Rideau Ferry.” It was back in 2008, he recalled, that a signature bearing more than 1,000 names landed on the desk of DNE council, and how far that resolve has taken a simple idea which will now “be enjoyed

by many,” Churchill said. One resident was unfortunately unable to attend, having lost her battle with breast cancer. But a red maple tree was planted at the dock site, bearing a pink ribbon, in memory of the late DNE Coun. Charlotte Reed. Recently re-elected Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier, commended the community for its drive and ambition. “It is a wonderful display of the community coming together,” said Hillier. “Nobody should take this for granted. It takes a lot of work. This will be used by people far and wide.” He added he was certain these docks would go a long way to “make Rideau Ferry a lovely place for us to spend a sunny day.” See DOCKS page P2

Lanark Lodge reports survey results to county council courteously to residents, and having caring and compassionate nursing staff. Scores in the mid-80s were related to physical functioning, which may be related to a change in physiotherapy services due to reduced funding by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, as well as meal choice, which Pidgeon notes tends to be a highly personal experience. “The dietary staff is to be commended on the achievement of an overall rate of satisfaction of 90 per cent with its services,” she said. She noted in recent years there has been an “extraordinary” rate of overall satisfaction for the care and services the home provides. “This excellent rate of satisfaction is directly attributed to the commitment and compassion of care of the multidisciplinary team at Lanark Lodge,” Pidgeon stated. Active transportation structure proposed Council received an update on the active transportation structure component of the Mississippi River bridge rehabilitation project, which is ongoing. The bridge is located north of Balderson on County Road 511 and is expected to be completed in late autumn. The active transportation structure at the location would be used as a separate snowmobile crossing and would be a stand-alone, prefabricated structure. Staff have been authorized to complete preparation work required and to purchase a structure that would be installed after the main bridge project is completed. K&P Snow Trails, the lo-

cal snowmobile club, has advised they will take on responsibility to maintain the deck of the structure for the next 10 years and they propose to contribute labour and materials towards the project at an estimated amount of $17,680. They are applying for a grant to help pay part of the costs. A formal tender process for the design, fabrication and delivery of the structure would be undertaken in September. The estimated installation cost is $20,000. Another financial update will be provided to council prior to awarding a tender for this component of the project.

quired from the environment ministry before it could be sold. Council has authorized staff to start the disposal process and to set a reserved bid. Nine local municipalities contributed to the original process to develop the site as a county-wide landfill throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and the county will seek formal releases from each of them prior to advertising the sale by public tender. The property had received environmental assessment approval for a landfill in 1998, but the project was abandoned in 1999 when local municipalities sought to administer their own programs.

County to proceed with sale of 5N land The provincial environment ministry has indicated it is not opposed to the sale of a 240-acre property that was originally intended to be a county-wide landfill site, but which has since been declared surplus to the county’s needs. The land, known as the 5N site, is located in Tay Valley Township near Balderson. In December, council approved a motion to declare the land surplus, but authorization was re-

Health unit no longer accepting ticks The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is advising local municipalities that it is changing the way it conducts tick surveillance as of July 1. For several years the health unit has relied on analysing ticks submitted by residents and healthcare providers to indicate the prevalence of those that are positive for the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. “This approach has

worked well and we now have a good sense of where the positive tick populations currently reside,” said Dr. Paula Stewart, medical officer of health, in correspondence to council. “Continuing to study ticks from areas we know is not necessary and we would like to concentrate resources in areas where the ticks may become established.” The health unit will now be conducting active surveillance in areas where ticks may be emerging and will no longer be accepting ticks at health unit sites. The change does not affect clinical care. “Testing of ticks was not intended for the purpose of diagnosing disease; rather it was a tool for surveillance,” she said. “Even if the tick was positive for the bacteria, it did not mean the tick transmitted the bacteria to the individual. The length of time the tick is attached is a key factor in the transmission of Lyme disease.” More information on Lyme disease can be found at www.healthunit.org – click on the topic “Lyme disease.”

Council is seeking more information after hearing a presentation by the Two Rivers Food Hub during the economic development committee meeting held earlier in the evening. Ray Elgersma said the food hub aims to link food producers in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville with greater marketing opportunities at fair market value for goods produced, and to provide buyers with a steady year-round source of healthy local foods at a one-stop location. The organization consists of a group of farmers, small processors and local buyers such as stores, restaurants and institutions, and they are working with Rideau Community Health Services to develop a nonprofit cooperative. The hub would serve the counties and be located in the Smiths Falls area to serve as a food procurement and distribution centre with a vision for food processing in one to three years. It has storage capacity for yearround local food access and aims to increase access for local buyers wanting to purchase locally produced foods while inCouncil considers creasing income and opsupport for Food Hub portunity for local farmers

The group currently has about $30,000 in private contributions with more coming in, and is seeking contributions from municipal government and volunteer organizations in order to match dollars with federal and provincial funding.

News – Following are the highlights from the special Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, June 25 at the county building in Perth. Council commended Lanark Lodge staff for their continued excellence after hearing the results of the 2014 resident/family satisfaction survey. Director Deborah Pidgeon presented the results at the community services committee meeting last week. Residents and families were given a choice of methods to complete the survey, including computer kiosks in the home, an electronic link sent to families or paper copies with a drop-off mailbox. Feedback through the survey helps the lodge to make improvements. The lodge exceeded the target completion with a response rate of 40 per cent, which was higher than the previous year. Forty-three per cent of respondents were the residents themselves, with the remainder completed by those holding power of attorney for the resident. The results indicate 97 per cent of respondents are satisfied overall with the quality of care and services in the home, which is consistent with what has been indicated in the last few years. In addition, 96 per cent of respondents said they would recommend the home to a friend. Highest scores received included 100 per cent for family members feeling welcome, personal grooming being satisfactory and unpleasant odours being controlled. Scores in the upper 90 per cent range were received for cleanliness of the home, staff responding

News – Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier has confirmed that he is seeking the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. When outgoing party leader Tim Hudak steps down on July 2 at Queen’s Park, the P.C. caucus will choose a new temporary leader to lead the party until Hudak’s successor is chosen at a party convention. Speaking after the opening of the Rideau Ferry Public Docks in Drummond/North Elmsley Township on Friday, June 27, Hillier confirmed that he will be letting his name stand after several fellow MPPs suggested he stand. “There has been a lot of interest,” said Hillier, who added that he wanted to have a hand in “solving and correcting some of the problems that were fairly evident after the June 12 election.” But rather than being “defeatist” about the party’s loss of seats at the hands of the Liberals, who returned to a majority government, “I saw this electoral failure as the most wonderful opportunity to embrace a period of reform in the party, like the rising of the phoenix from the ashes,” he said. While various leadership contenders are feeling out their party colleagues about runs to be the new, permanent leader, Hillier would not be drawn on whether he will be going up against

Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim Wilson or Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski for the interim job. “Anybody can be nominated or put their name forward,” said Hillier, so he may well face some surprising names on the ballot on Wednesday morning. “I cannot confirm or deny. It is not like the leadership (race).” He did admit that both Wilson and Yakabuski, whose names were confirmed by CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren as likely candidates, “have different ideas and skill sets.” He admitted that “an interim leader is a poorly defined position,” but one that he intends to see one major change. Normally, the interim leader would lead off question period against the premier of the day as the acting leader of the opposition. This time around however, as candidates declare their intention to run for the permanent leadership, if elected interim leader, “I would see to it that the leadership candidates would lead off Question Period every day,” on a rotating basis, “to ensure that all candidates get a fair time and show their talents to the people of Ontario.” Like he did with his own leadership run in 2009, he would again insist that any candidates step down from their shadow cabinet critic roles since, “this is a big, big province,” and, as a candidate, “you will be away from Queen’s Park often.”

Special information sessions outline municipal election details Conan de Vries

News – With municipal elections in the offing, some local residents pondering a run for office showed up for a municipal election information session at the Memorial Centre in Brockville June 25. This was the third such information session in the area, with others having being held in Edwardsburgh-Cardinal and Leeds and the 1000 Islands. About 10 prospective municipal candidates attended the Brockville session. Presenting an overview of what a candidate can expect both on the campaign trail, and if elected, sitting around the council table – or even in the mayor’s chair – was Bruce Harrison, who spoke from experience, having served as councillor, deputy mayor and mayor of North Grenville. “As soon as the election campaign begins, when you sign the papers, your life will change,� he said. “From that point on, you are essentially public property.� First and foremost, voters will want to know why they should vote for one candidate over another. “People are going to be sizing you up,� said Harrison. “Are they going to trust you with their community?� Chief among the priorities of any municipal official is the budget, and Harrison suggested that anyone considering a run for office attend some council meetings, brush up on their knowledge of municipal affairs, get to know who’s who in the municipality and, perhaps most importantly, learn as much as possible about finance. “Each and every minute of every day you’re going to be thinking about money, how to get it and how to spend it on behalf of your constituents.� It’s important, said Harrison, that a candidate know why he or she is running. The candidate must have a well-conceived platform and some convincing reason for jumping into the fray, and he or she must be able to communicate that to the electorate. “Why are you going to make a difference?� asked Harrison. “You’d better have an answer to that.� If a candidate answers all the voters’ questions and tells them what they want to hear, he or she just might wind up sitting around the council table, at which point they had better know a thing or two about the job with which they’ve been tasked, particularly how council and staff must work together to get the job done.

Yvonne Robert, clerk and administrator with the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley, provided a rundown on the role municipal staff plays in furthering the aims set out by council and how both elements of municipal government are bound by protocols and regulations set out in the Municipal Act. “We live and breathe by the Municipal Act,� said Robert, outlining the various duties and functions that fall respectively to municipal staff and elected officials. A strong relationship between council and staff is critical to the smooth function of both and ultimately to the prosperity of the municipality, but there is a clear divide between the responsibilities and obligations of the two complimentary parts of the municipal government. “The council steers the boat, and the staff rows it,� says Robert. It is the staff’s job to provide councillors as much information and direction as possible with respect to the wide variety of policy matters and local issues that will confront them, and to ensure that when the elected body makes a decision it does so on firm grounds. That doesn’t mean staff will always agree with the decision, though. “We have to accept the political decision and we have to support that political decision,� says Robert, noting that one ought never hear a member of municipal staff openly, publicly contest the decisions of council. A candidate need not worry about any of this, though, until he or she is elected, and getting

Even the voting process

is beginning to move online, with many of the municipalities in the area, including Augusta, EdwardsburghCardinal, Prescott, Brockville, Elizabethtown-Kitley, Leeds and the Thousands Islands, Merrickville-Wolford, North Grenville and Gananoque, giving electors the opportunity to vote by phone or over the Internet. All but Brockville also offer some form of paper ballot on the day of the vote.

Rash of recent boating incidents start season off deadly, says OPP victims has yet to be recovered and the OPP’s search and recovery efforts are ongoing. The most recent marine incident this week was particularly tragic, with three men losing their lives. The OPP investigation revealed that the three victims had more than one risk factor working against their safety. Alcohol was found to be a contributing factor as were lack of safety equipment and cold water conditions. The 11 victims are all men between the ages of 18 and 74. All the vessels involved have been small boats, less than six metres, with two being canoes. Four of the incidents involved capsizing,

while one was swamped by waves and another veered suddenly, ejecting both occupants. The OPP is dismayed by the consistent contributing factors it is seeing again this year. “Our officers have come to expect that when they recover deceased boating victims, the overwhelming majority of them will not be wearing a PFD or lifejacket. This year’s marine tragedies demonstrate once again that, when not worn, a PFD or lifejacket is useless safety equipment. Boating incidents come up very suddenly and afford no time to reach for a PFD let alone put it on before tragedy strikes,� said Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Com-

If their behaviour doesn’t stop, ask them to take you back to shore. If it is clear from their actions that they have no regard for your welfare, you will need to take charge of your own safety,� said Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander, OPP Highway Safety Division. The OPP is reminding the public that if they suspect a boat operator has been consuming alcohol, to call 9-1-1 to report them. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

Whether you are a boat operator, a passenger being offered a ride or a paddler, the spike in boating fatalities this year serves as a harsh wake-up call to everyone that heads out on the water that they need to take responsibility for their own safety. “Don’t let anyone put you in an unsafe situation on the water.

News – A rash of recent boating incidents has pushed the number of Ontario boating deaths up to 11 so far this year – an alarmingly high number this early in the season, says the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). At this time last year (June 25, 2013), there had been five boating fatalities (within OPP jurisdiction). Tragically, three of this year’s seven fatal boating incidents involved multiple fatalities. As is the case every year, the majority of these deaths were preventable. OPP investigators revealed that nine of the victims were not wearing a personal floatation device (PFD) or lifejacket and that alcohol was a factor in at least three of the incidents. One of the

Passionate performer headlines Classic Theatre Festival season opener Arts – If living life passionately is a sign of success, then Lindsay Robinson is a successful person. Robinson is currently in Perth rehearsing the role of playboy Alan Baker in the Neil Simon comedy Come Blow Your Horn, which opens the Classic Theatre Festival’s mainstage summer season July 11 at 54 Beckwith Street East. Robinson is a multi-talented individual who, in addition to being a skilled performer, personal trainer, singersongwriter, and video producer, is also studying to become a medical physician. Since 2007, the Vancouver Island born-and-raised Robinson has been working non-stop in professional theatre, television, and film, from recent spots on the Food Network’s Giving You the Business and a pilot for the E1 Network called Mergers and Acquisitions to commercials for Samsung and Sears and a new web series called Sweet Jayne. Robinson eagerly grabs every moment as an opportunity to express himself artistically, as the recent web series “Mini Series” attests: a road trip from Vancouver to Toronto inspired a daily episode of a web series that was written, edited, and posted each night along their journey. That passion he brings to life is also one that underscores his role as the oldest brother in a hard-working waxed fruit business family in 1961 New York, Simon’s debut comedy on Broadway and a reflection of the playwright’s own family. For Robinson, performing Neil Simon is “a great opportunity. I saw my

first Simon play, the Last of the Red Hot Lovers, in grade 7, and I was hooked. I saw versions of The Odd Couple and Laughter on the 23rd Floor. Neil Simon is a staple for American comedy and his stories hit so close to home, they really tug on the heartstrings. For a guy who grew up watching Frank Capra and It’s a Wonderful Life, Neil Simon has that same feel.” Robinson’s character is a playboy tried of juggling girlfriends and looking to find stability in his life while his younger brother, a shy sort, tries to emulate his Lothario lifestyle. “I love the characters of the brothers. They are very different and yet want the best for each other. Neil Simon has a great way of making me feel good about living in the world. I feel as though the plays he has written have a timeless relevance to them that I think people are looking at from a different angle than they did 30 years ago. He’s not just the one-liner writer – these plays have a real meaning for all of us because they come from real life.” Robinson is not shy about taking on new and heavy-duty challenges. His professional training is extensive, from the New York-based American Academy of Dramatic Arts to the intensive program at the Canadian College of Performing Arts, which entailed six days a week of choreography, directing, singing, acting, and dancing for two years. During the third year, he joined a cooperative theatre company of 12 who spend three months working on and offstage for three productions. He also recently just completed the Banff

Professional Theatre training program in conjunction with the Citadel Theatre, and was nominated for a Broadway World Award for his work on Theatre by the Bay’s Crazy for You. While Perth offers the potential for the odd day off strolling along the Tay, Robinson will not have much idle time this summer, for in addition to eight shows a week, he is studying to become

a physician, entering medical school this fall. “I have a passion for helping people, and I think a combined career as an actor and emergency room doctor allows me that chance.” He is also busy completing a libretto and composing music in conjunction with the Vancouver Island Symphony, putting together a show for two singers, one of whom is a member of the original

Three Canadian Tenors, and composing the music for a 60-piece orchestra. Tickets to Come Blow Your Horn are available by calling 1-877-283-1283 or online at www.classictheatre.ca. Ticketholders receive a discount on the Perth Through the Ages historic theatrical walking tour as well. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Make a pledge to be sun smart this summer DEAR EDITOR: The Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA) is focused on helping Canadians have safe fun in the sun and want to be sure families include sunscreen as part of their everyday sun safety. Along with hats, sunglasses, clothing and seeking shade, sunscreens play a major role in preventing skin cancer and reducing the photoaging effects of ultraviolet radiation. Summer is right around the corner, so be ready for it by having hats, sunglasses and sunscreen. Standing in the aisle at the drugstore facing row upon row of sunscreen not knowing how to choose one from the next can be daunting. With so many sunscreens on the market, it’s hard to know the best option for you and your family. For the last 26 years, the association has been making that decision a little easier for Canadians through its Sun Protection Program, which scientifically evaluates sunscreens through independent laboratory test-

ing. To help Canadians identify these sunscreens at the drugstore look for the CDA’s Sun Protection Program logo that says “Recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association.” “For most, trying to choose the right sunscreen can be a challenge,” says dermatologist Dr. Chantal Chiasson. “Many sunscreens offer inadequate protection from the sun and contain questionable ingredients. By looking for the CDA logo, purchasing a sunscreen to protect yourself and your family becomes a lot easier.” The CDA recommends looking for sunscreens that are broad-spectrum, meaning they protect against both UVA and UVB, and have an SPF 30 or higher. Sunscreen should be applied generously 15 to 20 minutes before heading outside and reapplied regularly especially after swimming or heavy sweating. A summer without sunburn is a lot more fun. Canadian Dermatology Association

COMMENTARY

Fun in the sun Editorial – The first heat alert of the summer was issued earlier this week by the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville District Health Unit, perhaps payback for all of those days we griped winter would never end. Now that the hottest season of the year is finally here, people will be flocking to cottages, festivals, local beaches, anything to spend some time basking in the hot rays of the sun. Those who plan on spending time outside should be prepared, however. In this day and age, we should all be practicing everyday sun safety but the sun is at its most harmful in summer. On our outdoor outings, be sure to take along your sunglasses, hats and choose a sunscreen with both UVA, UVB and an SPF of 30 or higher that is endorsed by the Canadian Dermatology Association. Most area beaches have already opened for the season and while many prefer the chlorinated water of backyard pools, nothing beats jumping in the lake on a hot summer day. The health unit has announced it will be monitoring all beaches within its area weekly to ensure the water your family is swimming in is safe. They have developed a campaign where if the water standard exceeds 100 E.coli, a sign will be posted determining the beach unsafe for bathing. Updates can also be found on their website (www. healthunit.org) or by visiting their Facebook or Twitter pages. Be sure and heed these warnings as the presence of E.coli can contribute to an increase in ear, eye, nose and throat infections. Most of all this summer, exercise common sense. Be responsible and pay attention to weather forecasts. If a heat alert is issued, stay in a well-ventilated and cool space. Don’t venture outside to mow the lawn or decide that’s the day to tackle some gardening. It can wait another day.

Puffed wheat dishes and tableware were staples on the farm Lifestyle – My sister Audrey was being dispatched to Briscoe’s General store, and told to hurry up about it! Father’s sister, Aunt Freda (not Aunt Lizzie who regularly sent the hand-me-down boxes from Regina) was coming for a short visit from Chicago. I had never laid eyes on Aunt Freda, nor had Mother. Our contact was through the odd letter, and a gift of a radio which was of no use whatsoever, since we had no electricity. She would be arriving at the CPR station in Renfrew late in the day, would be there for one day and one night only, and then heading to Arnprior to visit Aunt Nellie and Uncle

pany that put one piece in each bag, gave an overabundance of saucers, and rarely bothered with cups. And so we had an about 12 saucers, no cups, a couple dinner plates, and a small plate Mother called a breadand-butter plate, which according to Father wasn’t worth taking out of the cupboard. And so Audrey, with me in tow, was heading for Briscoe’s General Store to buy yet another bag of puffed wheat, and hopefully come home with at least one tea cup. To prepare for this errand, Audrey had gone to the sewing basket and taken out a long knitting needle, and I knew exactly why.

to have on hand just because Aunt Freda was coming. A bar of Ivory soap, (heaven forbid Aunt Freda would have to use homemade soap reeking of Gillettes Lye) because regardless how hard Mother tried, she was never able to completely dissolve all the little pieces of lye in the making. When we got to the store, Audrey headed right for the bags of puffed wheat. Although as light as a feather, the bags were big, with a strip of paper down the front with very small holes in it, so that the customer could see what a wonderful cereal this was.

piled up against the wall, and Audrey, making no attempt to hide what she was up to, got down on her hands and knees and ever so carefully, worked the knitting needle into one bag at a time. She poked away until she hit a piece of china, which the company made awfully sure was right in the middle of the bag. It was my job to see that she didn’t attack the same bag twice. She had worked her way through about 10 bags, when finally she came up for air, and looking like she had just discovered America, took the bag over to the counter, gathered up the other things on Mother’s list, said “please put this on Mother’s bill,” and we headed for the buggy outside. It didn’t take Mother long to rip into the bag, pour out a goodly portion into a big bowl, and retrieve a cup. Now, Aunt Freda would have a cup and saucer that matched, and a dinner and bread and butter plate, all thanks to a bag of puffed wheat.

None of us much liked puffed wheat. And there was always two or three bags tucked away in the cupboard out in the summer kitchen... bought simply for the dish inside. There was no doubt Mr. Briscoe knew exactly what my sister Audrey was up to when she came into the store with the long knitting needle. He paid no attention to her at all. And when I asked Audrey if what she was doing was considered dishonest, she said, “certainly not... we bought a bag of puffed wheat, didn’t we?” And when I visited school friends in Northcote, and stayed for a meal, their tables too were set with an assortment of mismatched dishes. And always there would be a plate, or a saucer, with the fluted edge, circled in a gold rim, and with small red and pink flowers, right out of a bag of puffed wheat.

Arts – It’s probably the oldest line in the book – literally. The detective paces back and forth in front of the nervous group of suspects who wait breathlessly for him to divulge the name of the murderer. They all gasp when he tells them, “The butler did it.” A conclusion so old it has become cliché. But what if all the characters in a play either bear the name of Butler or are actual butlers? Well then of course, the butler had to have done it. That’s the premise of Studio Theatre’s hilarious mystery comedy, The Butler Did It by Walter and Peter Marks. Writer-director-producer Anthony J. Lefcourt, is rehearsing a classic murder mystery, a whodunit in which all the characters are either named Butler or are butlers by profession. But finding his cast caught up in petty jealousies and romantic entanglements, and hoping to evoke genuine terror in his performers, he stages a real murder of one of the actresses. From there on the plot begins to twist and turn until no one, cast or audience, knows what is real and what is make-believe. Veteran director Patricia Parry admits this is not a “Mickey Mouse” kind of mystery. There is the challenge of each actor playing two different roles – the onstage character and the offstage one. With this in mind, she has assembled a talented cast of performers, some familiar and some new to Studio Theatre. Returning after an absence of two years, Paul Roach plays Anthony J. Lefcourt, a man so desperate for a new hit, he will go

to almost any lengths. Many will remember Paul as the sinister Harry Roat in Wait Until Dark. As for why he has returned after a two-year hiatus, Paul gives a characteristic grin, and says, “I thought it was time audiences needed to be tortured a bit.” All other cast members have two stage names: their cast name in the play and their offstage name. Norman McDonnell who appeared last in the awardwinning one-act play, The Last Act is a Solo, is another returning veteran playing over-the hill actor Robert Lattimore (Raymond Butler on-stage). Julie Heney who is the reluctantly maturing actress, Natalie Simpson (Angela Butler onstage) was last seen in Norm Foster’s hilarious comedy Old Love. Satinka Schilling, who first appeared to Studio Theatre audiences last Christmas in The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose plays the troublesome ingénue Claudia Barnes (Vicki Butler onstage), and Garry Welsh who appeared in Rabbit Hole plays Sam (Detective Mumford onstage). Charles Henderson, who plays Michael Severino (Aldo the butler onstage), is new to Studio Theatre. He admits he hasn’t done any theatre since high school, but felt it was time to go back to the stage. Confused by all these names? You’ll be more confused by the time the plot takes all its twists and turns until audience and actors have lost track of what is real and what is make-believe. Only one thing is certain. In the end, you know the butler (or Butler) did it. No production could function

without the work of a dedicated crew. Reiner Silberhorn has designed a striking art deco set in greys and blacks with a splash of yellow; it is elegantly dressed by Penny Silberhorn. Costumes are designed by Julia Egener, and Margaret Wilkinson takes care of the many props. Jane Stott sees to sound and light, while stage manager Brenda Roberts oversees the smooth running of the entire production. The Butler Did It runs July 3, 4, 5, 11 and 12 at 8 p.m. with 2 p.m. matinees July 6 and 13. Tickets are $22 in advance, available at The Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E. (cash only please) and $24 at the door. Phone or credit card orders can be made through Tickets Please, 39 Foster Street in Perth (613-4856434) or order online at www. ticktsplease.ca. There is a student rate of $10 (with ID) at the door. For further information, (but please, no phone orders) call the Studio Theatre box office at 613-267-7469 or visit the website at www.studiotheatreperth.com. And remember, Studio Theatre is air-conditioned and totally accessible for the mobility challenged. So for a summer of laughter in a cool comfortable setting, don’t miss The Butler Did It and, coming up in August, Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy, An Ideal Husband. Book the two plays now for a special rate of $40. Summertime, and the laughing is definitely easy at Studio Theatre. Submitted by the Studio Theatre.

Enjoying the luck of the Irish on the Aran Islands

Lifestyle – Three times is a charm, or so they say! I have discovered the origin of the phrase was actually in Scotland, a country I have been fortunate to visit on many occasions. We have just returned from Ireland. It was our third visit to the country and one of our destinations was the Aran Islands, three windswept chunks of limestone off the west coast of the Irish Republic. You can see already that the number three plays an important part in this equation! My wife Kathleen and I had a particular objective when we elected to make a second excursion to the Aran Islands. We

visited Inishmore previously in 2006 as part of a large tour group. One of the main reasons we were anxious to go there was to see the Iron Age fort ‘Dun Aengus’. Sadly the opportunity, which seemed so close, eluded us. The night before our scheduled ferry ride to Kilronan, the tiny capital of Inishmore, the tail end of an Atlantic hurricane turned its fury on parts of western and Northern Ireland. Intense rain drenched Galway, where we were staying and the islands themselves, located at the mouth of vast Galway Bay. A literal monsoon soaked the region for about eight

hours. The next day if it hadn’t been for huge puddles you would never have known there had been a storm. It was a sunny and warm late September day. It wasn’t until we arrived on Inishmore that our guide broke the bad news. Dun Aengus was off limits because the intense rain had flooded the approaches to the fort to a depth of four feet in

DON’T DUMP IT… BLUE BOX IT! 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

places. So, as we drove past in a mini-bus there was the fort, sitting high on a bluff above the Atlantic. So near and yet so far! Some of those in our group of 44 (mostly Canadians and Americans) had booked the tour mainly to visit Inishmore and specifically to tour the Dun Aengus site. A few weren’t just disappointed. They demanded

some of their tour money back. We weren’t among those seeking “damages” however. Yes, it was a major disappointment but we totally understood. Tour directors can’t possibly predict the weather and in Ireland it is usually changeable and often wet, windy and cool. Our guide did his best of course. He used the bus PA system to give us a good commentary about Dun Aengus one of the most spectacular, ancient stone forts in Europe. Perched dramatically, high above the ocean, the 11-acre cliff top fort inhabits one of the most peaceful, and yet dramatic locations in Europe. Its

origins are surrounded in mystery. Carbon dating of artifacts found at the site suggests it was probably built by Iron Age people as a defensive fortification for their small community. It could date back as far as 1200 BC. There are several smaller Iron Age forts on Inishmore and its two sister islands. Dizzying height Today the site is really just stone ruins. But the lure is the unobstructed (there is no barrier) 300 foot (92 metre) view from the summit, down a sheer cliff face to the Atlantic. In 2006 we had to settle for facts and figures provided by our jovial driver/ guide who bravely weathered another storm (from certain passengers) and did his best to make our day trip to Inishmore enjoyable. He told us there are also Roman ruins and burial sites (one of which we visited later that day) on Inishmore. Leave it to the Romans! Is there anywhere in Europe they failed to make their mark? On June 22 Kathy and I, this time in the company of our good friends and regular travel companions Frank and Wendy LeBlanc, returned to Inishmore. We would either see Dun Aengus first-hand, or we would face the classic “three strikes and you’re out” situation. Would we have to make a third excursion to the Aran Islands? On this occasion we skipped the ferry and flew to the island from Connemara Airport, 45 minutes from Galway City. The flight, in a twin-engine, 10-seat aircraft was thrilling. It was a sunny, clear day and the views along the Atlantic coast of Ireland were unlimited. Incredibly Kathy and I were seated right behind the pilot. I spent the short flight (eight minutes each way) snapping photos and recording video. Inishmore is just over eight miles long and five miles wide (at its widest). In the local (Gaelic) language it is known as Inis Mór (or big island) and is the farthest to the west of the three islands. Inishmore sits some nine nautical miles from the coast of the Irish Republic and has just 900 permanent residents. There are 400 others living on two neighbouring

islands. The smallest, and nearest to the mainland, is Inishere (Inisírr – or eastern island). It is just six miles from Doolin, County Clare a small port which we also visited on this trip. The third island is called Inishmaan (Inis Meáin – meaning middle island). Visitors who travel to remote areas of Ireland often feel they’ve entered a time machine and been transported back to the 18th or 19th century. Nowhere is that feeling more intense than on Inishmore! Most of the buildings are historic and transportation is often by horse drawn cart or bicycle. Except for tour vans, motor vehicles are a rarity on the island’s narrow, winding, rough roads. Inishmore has 5,000 kilometres (3,105 miles) of stone fences with land parcels divided into some of the smallest plots I have ever seen. The fields look more like livestock pens. The island wasn’t hooked up to Ireland’s electrical grid until the mid-1970s when an underwater cable was put in place. Prior to that living on the tiny island really was a step back in time. The Aran Islands are steeped in history and the first language of the inhabitants is ‘Irish’, or Gaelic, although most islanders will gladly converse with you in English. Still, it is amazing to hear the residents speaking to each other in Ireland’s ancient tongue. At one time inhabitants either carved out a living as farmers on the thinly covered rock, or earned their keep as fishermen. Now the main industry is tourism, a common theme in Europe. Bleak and virtually treeless and with no significant hills or mountains, these three remote islands on the western edge of Europe are linked geologically with the area known as ‘The Burren’ in nearby County Clare, Ireland. We also walked that rugged and picturesque region last month! Next stop Boston On Inishmore the mainly Roman Catholic residents proudly observe that their churches are the most westerly in Europe. “The next parish is in Boston,” they say. It isn’t a joke – it’s absolutely true. See COLUMN page 23

Arts – The first week of the Classic Theatre Festival’s historic, theatrical walking tour, Perth through the Ages, drew visitors from both Lanark County as well as Kingston, Ottawa, and cottagers who hail from Kentucky last week, above. A noted travel writer from Vancouver covered the tour as well which, under the title “The Preacher and the Leading Lady,” is a youth training project that follows the Rev. William Bell and noted actress May Bell-Marks as they find themselves in a time warp and visit key moments in Perth history. The troupe also brought their show to Lanark Lodge last week as well, performing for residents who were unable to attend the downtown tour. The tour, which runs one hour every Wednesday to Sunday, beginning at 11 a.m., starts at Matheson House (11 Gore Street East). Tickets are available by calling 1-877-283-1283.

News – Almonte residents took a stand in support of their river on June 28 as approximately 500 people, left, participated in a peaceful protest to oppose Enerdu Power Systems’ proposal on the construction and redevelopment of the existing Enerdu hydroelectric generating station on the Mississippi River. Above, young and old marched through Almonte wearing red and waving signs against the hydroelectric generating station.

Kilronan, the port and capital, is one of 14 (small) villages on Inishmore. There is one hotel, 14 bed and breakfasts and five pubs on Inishmore, most located in Kilronan. There is just one grocery store which is also an off licence meaning you can purchase alcoholic beverages there. The only bank is open just two days a week. There are two Garda Síochána (Irish national police) posted on Inishmore, along with one doctor and two nurses who work at the island’s medical clinic. Critical cases are airlifted to Galway or Limerick by helicopter. Sea rescues are performed by both in-shore and off-shore lifeboats, with the Kilronan off-shore lifeboat the busiest on Ireland’s west coast.

There are two factory outlets in Kilronan which concentrate mainly on selling traditional Irish, wool knitwear. The islands are home to the world-famous Aran sweater. Houses on Inishmore are low slung, stone structures which resemble bunkers. Most have been dug into the barren limestone to make them less susceptible to the strong winds that lash the Aran Islands virtually every day. A few houses also have traditional thatch roofs. Life on the islands has changed dramatically in recent years with day-to-day necessities arriving daily by ferry and improved travel to and from the mainland, as well as the three islands themselves. Small aircraft service all three islands. Well, I have kept you in “sus-

pense” long enough. We did make it to Dun Aengus! The “luck of the Irish” served us well on this occasion. With someone named Kathleen Maguire along for the trip how could we go wrong? The long hike to the cliff-side site was challenging (to say the least) and the ladies said afterwards they had earned “I Survived Dun Aengus” T-shirts. But it was a sunny, warm afternoon and the views along the coast and over the Atlantic were something we will never forget. Our photographs underline the point. Personally I was just glad to have made it to the ancient fort. No third strike situation facing me now!

Perth family remembers airman whose remains identified 71 years later Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

and prayed for answers to the eternal question of what had happened to the son they had sent off to war. “My grandmother felt that he was not down there,” said Pegg, with Janet Carey preferring to believe that he had either been taken as a prisoner of war, or had suffered amnesia and was somewhere in Europe. It would turn out to be Carey’s youngest brother, Ken, who would provide the final answer to the question. In 2008, according to a Department of National Defence press release, a team of German explosives disposal divers made several dives into the lake, to assess the stability of the plane, and to remove human remains. The remains were taken the University of Bonn where they were examined. “It must have been difficult,” said Pegg, with the bodies having been consumed in water for nearly 72 years. It took until Christmas time last year for Pegg’s uncle Ken to be contacted to provide DNA information. The positive results from Ken’s geSubmitted photo netic donation, identifying one of the remains as Desmond Devoy/METROLAND Maureen Pegg of Perth is the niece of Ca- Canadian airman, Flight Sergeant John Jo- being that of Carey, were received in February.

News – The remains of a Canadian airman shot down during the Second World War, who had close ties to Perth, have been identified. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Flight Sergeant John Joseph Carey was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on Feb. 4, 1920, and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force on May 31, 1940 in Ottawa, where after he was assigned to 103 Squadron. On the night of Aug. 28, 1942, Carey was serving as a front air gunner on a Royal Air Force bomber, Halifax BB214. It took off from RAF Station Elsham Wolds bound for a bombing run on Nuremberg, Germany, where Hitler’s infamous mass Nazi rally had taken place years before. Some time that night, the bomber was shot down and crashed into Laacher See, a lake south of Bonn, Germany. “Their bodies were never found,” said Carey’s niece, Maureen Pegg, (a former editor of The Perth Courier), of the victims of the crash. “They knew that there were two down there.” While Carey’s remains were locked in their wa- nadian airman Flight Sergeant John Joseph seph Carey’s body was recently identified, 71 years after being shot down. tery grave, his family in Canada waited, worried, Carey.

While DNE and Rideau Ferry stand to benefit economically and otherwise from this new infrastructure, Lanark County Warden Richard Kidd noted that the rest of the county would see spin-off rewards as well. “It’s sort of a miracle when you can get four levels of government to work together,” joked Kidd, who is also the Reeve of Beckwith Township. But he added that a project like this happened “when you have a vision,” and also when “the community gets involved.” As both the public works manager for DNE township and as the commodore for the Rideau Ferry Yacht Club, Scott Cameron has invested a lot of public and personal time into this project. He took great pride in looking around at the docks full of people, saying, “Welcome back to Rideau Ferry.” A Rideau Ferry resident himself, he recalled cleaning fish for visiting American anglers, and washing dishes at the town’s inn. As the years passed, “a lot of residents got angry,” at the state of what had once been the village’s public docks. Which is why a group of residents decided that they had had enough, and got the petition going.

“And they were all real names,” joked Cameron. “No pet names.” The fact that something needed to be done was evident to anyone walking by, over the bridge, on the banks of the water, or from a boat sailing past. “Everybody knew what it looked like before,” said Cameron. Since then, however, “it was a quagmire. A lot of residents wanted it back to where it was before. Something had to be done.” Six years later, with the docks open, he is still envisioning what the docks could be. “I see weddings are going to happen here,” he said. “It will bring it back to life.” He also had a warning to politicians who may let a public treasure such as this slip away again. “It had to belong to the people. These are public lands,” he said of the docks. As a notice of connection to the old docks in the area, Cameron pointed to the old light from the former Rideau Ferry swing bridge hanging nearby. Though not a permanent part of the docks now, it was on display last week as homage to days gone by. “The community spoke. The politicians listened. Action prevailed,” said Cameron.

Captain Pieter Brown had captained the first boat to dock before the ceremony, the Blue Goose. Formerly associated with the famed Blue Nose – found on our 10 cent coin – when he lived in Nova Scotia, he knows a thing or two about man’s connection to the water. And when it comes to docks, “they may be something taken for granted. After all, what is a waterfront without a dock? A dock is a place of business, an integral part of the community, and a safe haven, a place of refuge for the mariner,” Brown said Desmond Devoy/METROLAND poetically, before blowing his captain’s whistle to signify that Drummond/North Elmsley Reeve Aubrey Churchill cuts the ribbon ceremonially opening the docks were officially open the Rideau Ferry Public Docks on Friday, June 27. for business. “It is on days like this… that we can think of what the river has meant to the town,” added Brown. For the settlers who came to this area and were “nurtured” by the region’s waterways, he pointed to the dock, and said, “Here is the evidence that you have not forgotten them (the pioneers.)” The Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario kicked in $66,000 for the project, and $114,000 to the Ebb’s Side Road Bridge project Desmond Devoy/METROLAND Desmond Devoy/METROLAND as well, according to a letter from Perth Mayor John Fenik helps La- Captain Pieter Brown of the Blue Goose sightseeing the agency’s Minister of State, nark County Warden Richard Kidd ship sounds off his captain’s whistle to officially open Gary Goodyear.

Church, Thom streets replace Foster, Boulton streets for repairs desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Foster and Boulton streets are no longer on the emergency priority road repair list. The two streets had originally made the short list for roads up for repairs after this past winter’s brutal weather. “The big issue we noticed was that Boulton and Foster were streets that were due to

be done in 2016-17,” said chief administrative officer John deRosenroll at the town council meeting of Tuesday, June 24. He noted that while he was cognizant of the costs, he did not want to give the two streets emergency repairs now, only to repair them again in two years time. The road lineup is now: • Rogers Road • Cockburn Street • Church Street

• Thom Street (Reserve) “Is there any chance of looking at Gore Street?” asked Coun. Ed McPherson. “Those trenches on Gore Street don’t make us look very good.” While no action was decided on for Gore Street, environmental services director Grant Machan stated that the overlay project for Wilson Street for 2015 was still on target, “to polish that street, to have it in prime condition for 2016,” and

the town’s 200th anniversary. McPherson later asked in the same meeting that a leftturn signal be added to the traffic lights for eastbound traffic coming along Highway 7 at the intersection with Drummond Street, for vehicles turning in to the Home Hardware store. “Someone is going to get killed there,” said McPherson, with cars trying to make a left against oncoming traffic. As the head of paramedic services

for Lanark County, McPherson recounted how “I have had my teams there,” at that intersection, tending to injured motorists and passengers involved in collisions. “I concur with the need for it,” said Mayor John Fenik. Machan told Coun. Judy Brown that the Ministry of Transportation will pick up the cost of the lights as it is in their jurisdiction, and “I don’t believe that it will be a big cost.” Coun. Ed McPherson

HOME FIRE SAFETY TIPS FOR THE SUMMER SEASON: With the summer season upon us, the Perth Fire Department offers these reminders for residents: • Maintain your air conditioners and vacuum out the inside of the unit occasionally. Dust and dirt build-up can cause these units to overheat and may cause a fire. Extension cords are not recommended but if they must be used, purchase the heavy duty type specially designed for AC units and don’t install overrated fuses to accommodate an AC unit. The wiring may not be designed for the heavier loads and could also result in a fire. • Keep gasoline and propane tanks in well ventilated areas, out of reach of children. Never store gasoline or propane in living areas or rooms with furnaces or hot water tanks. • BBQ with care. Check cylinder connections and hoses on your BBQ with a 50/50 mix of liquid soap and water onto all connections. Rising bubbles when you turn on the valve indicates a leak. Tighten connections or repair the hose until there are no bubbles. • Have you reviewed your home escape plan lately? All residents should plan and practice a home escape plan and practice it often. Know at least two ways out of your home and select a meeting place. Never go back into a building or home which is on fire. • Test your smoke alarms weekly and change the batteries at least once a year. Only working smoke alarms can save your life or the life of a loved one. • Fires do not take vacation. Check your smoke alarms each time you get to the cottage or camper. Let’s keep Perth Fire-Safe. If you have any questions relating to fire safety don’t hesitate to contact us at 613-267-5574.

AIRMAN From page P1

What made the positive match even more poignant was that Ken died this past May. “He had the comfort of knowing that his brother had been found,� said Pegg during a telephone interview on June 26. “It solves a great family mystery.� Carey’s remains will be interred at the Rheinberg War Cemetery on July 9, with Pegg and several other members of his extended family in attendance. “It’s kind of sad that he (Ken) couldn’t be there,� said Pegg. “We carried that grief with us from our grandmother losing her son.� There will be a colour party, and the Last Post will be played, and her cousin David, as Carey’s closest remaining living relative, will be presented with the folded flag. The war is over now, but not forgotten. Pegg was struck by how life really does go on all around what was her late uncle’s resting place. “This is the country my uncle was bombing,� she said, and yet he is being honoured. And on the very lake itself, tourists glide along the waters in pleasure boats. “I guess they are over it,� she said. “It’s a tourist area now. The plane is down there but there are people out in canoes.� She was surprised how, years later, as a mother herself, she began thinking of her uncle when her son reached the age Carey was when he died. Her grandmother nearly lost another son, Pegg’s father, when he was hit by a sniper while poking his head out of a tank. He credited his survival to an excel-

lent neurosurgeon, though “he nearly died.� While she had never met him, she grew up hearing stories of her six-foot-tall uncle, who was an athletic star in the family. “He played hockey in Ottawa,� Pegg remembered hearing. “He was asked to try out for the New York Rangers. That was back in the Original Six days.� She added that it was poignant that Carey’s remains were finally identified in 2014, the 70th anniversary of D-Day, and the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, in which her grandfather had fought. “It’s getting the story out,� she said of her uncle’s story. “It moves it over to other generations.� And coming around the time of the anniversaries, “makes it more poignant.� After the story broke last week, her niece contacted her about the family legend. “I want to pass this story of sacrifice on to my kids,� her niece told Pegg. “She is so touched by it.� Though Pegg, a well-known local journalist for many years, knows a good story when she sees one, she was still surprised at just how much buzz this story has generated. “I had a sense that people would be interested,� said Pegg. “But I am really blown away by the response.� She added that, while her family was lucky to have “some sense of closure,� there were other families of countless Allied airmen – and seamen – whose remains may never be found or identified. Even within her own family, people who knew her father were surprised at this side of the family his-

tory. A member of Pegg’s book club even told her recently that, “I didn’t known Fred had a brother missing in action.� Part of the reason why it took so long for the final chapter to be written was because of how the plane crashed. Carey’s was the only plane on a craft full of New Zealanders, Australians and Britons. The plane crashed into the lake, missing a nearby, historic abbey, and plowed 12 feet into the water, now submerged in sand. “They think it is still loaded with bombs,� she said of the craft. For years during and after the war, Carey’s parents lobbied the government hard to find their son’s remains. “If he’s in the plane, why can’t you bring him up?� they wondered. In 1949, they received a letter from the Canadian government, a letter that the loved ones of any service person.

“You must presume the fact that your son is dead,� said Pegg of the letter. Essentially, “case closed.� While the case was known to the Canadian government in 1949, it has again caught their interest. “The identification of the remains of Flight Sergeant Carey demonstrates to his family, and to all of us, that the ultimate sacrifice he made in the name of his country will not be forgotten,� said Rob Nicholson, the Minister of National Defence, in a press release issued last month. “Our Canadian airman will finally be laid to rest with the military honour he so rightfully deserves.� “We must not cease to honour the sacrifice of those who came before us,� added LieutenantGeneral Yvan Blondin, commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force. “And in doing so, provide a sense of closure to the families and to their brothers and sisters in arms.� R0012465537_1219

Lanark church to help fire victims News – Rebuilding a business after a fire is one church congregation’s current mission. In Lanark, the Sacred Heart of Jesus congregation was alerted to a fundraising effort to help parishioners Tony and Eleanor Walsh rebuild their lost blacksmith shop. It was on Jan. 23 of this year when Walsh, of Watson’s Corners, suffered a fire that destroyed his entire blacksmith shop along with most of his tools and contents. Walsh, known locally and in the blacksmith circle, for the replica cannons he produces with meticulous accuracy was able to roll out of harms way a canon that was near ready for delivery. Most everything else however, including large antique machinery used in the production of his canons, succumbed to the intense heat and the consequent water that firefighters used to battle the blaze on that bitter cold winter day. Though he intends to rebuild a smaller version of his now destroyed and uninsured blacksmith shop, without a means to earn an income, Walsh is on his own. “The mess of the fire has since been cleaned up but now he’s looking at rebuilding his blacksmith shop,â€? said John Schweighardt, who is offering his own helping hands along the way. Schweighardt has created some stone pieces to be auctioned for the cause with a hope of raising some $7,500 in the process. “It’s just a small thing that I can do to help,â€? said the Lanark area man who knows the Walsh family and adds that he’d do anything he could to help another person in need. “The day he lost his shop was a horrible day‌ we had just been to our friend Decon David Cavalier’s funeral service and it was so cold and miserable.â€? The local community was quick to respond after that fire in January with a pancake breakfast the

next month, held in the hall at Watson’s Corners. That effort brought in an impressive $10,000. “But more help is needed,� noted Schweighardt. Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Lanark of which the Walshes have been long-time parishioners, is planning to offer some financial help. A fundraising raffle has been put in place to give away three stone bowls hand carved by local artisan and fellow parishioner John Schweighardt with a total prize value of $2,240. First prize, “Twist of Blue� valued at $850, was carved from nepheline syenite from the Havelock, Ont., and contains a hint of sodalite. The second prize titled, “Second Bloom� carved from a Lanark granite is valued at $695, and the third prize valued at $695 aptly titled “Lively� is carved from puddingstone from northern Ontario. All three prizes will be handed out at Foy Hall on Aug. 23 as the draw will take place during a dinner held for the event. Tickets for the stone bowl raffle will be available for $5 each until the time of the draw and have been made available at these locations: * Lanark Landing Restaurant, 79 George St., Lanark * The Lanark Era, 66 George St., Lanark * Wheeler’s Pancake House, 1001 Highland Line, McDonald’s Corners * River Guild Fine Crafts, 51 Gore St. E., Perth, * The Stone Cellar at 71 Gore St. E.; or by calling Louise Vachon at 613-259-2203, Eileen Brown 613-259-2490 or John Schweighardt 613-2592203.

No infectious outbreaks, lowered debt load for hospital

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – No infectious outbreaks have been reported at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital for the last five years. “This is very unusual in our business,” admitted the hospital’s president and chief executive officer, Linda Bisonette, during her speech to the hospital’s annual general meeting at the Smiths Falls site on Tuesday, June 24. But she did commend the staff for their diligence through infection control and prevention practises for making this so. Bisonette will be retiring as the hospital’s leader at the end of October, and she admitted that her time at the hospital has not been without its frustrations. “I would be remiss if I did not admit that, when I stood before you last year at the AGM (that) I was somewhat intimidated by the challenges that lay ahead,” she said. Now, however, the hospital has moved into the black, financially, with a year-end surplus from operations of $1.7 million, and their efforts have been validated with a plaque

from Accreditation Canada for accreditation with exemplary standing. “We are on course for debt retirement,” she added, before noting that the hospital was “moving towards a more integrated level of care. Our partners are now an active part of our work.” Bisonette noted that the hospital’s priorities had been aligned more closely with those of the area’s LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) and several partner agencies “to establish a more collaborative effort.”

While 12 hospital beds had to be cut last year, Roney asserted that efficiencies were made “without impacting on the very, very high standards” of the hospital. Richard Schooley, chair of the quality committee, commended staff for helping the hospital earn the Accreditation Canada accolade, with the exemplary standing being “rarely awarded.” He was also proud that the new patient and family advisory committee was now up and running and would be meeting for the first time soon. On the financial side, the hospital’s debt load continues to lighten, falling from $7.5 million to $6.3 million. “We do still have a way to go to bring down a debt load that was accumulated over many years,” Cheryl Beckett, finance committee chair, said. “A few more years of solid surpluses, we will be able to retire the debt… We remain committed to the financial sustainability of the hospital.”

Dr. Peter Roney, the hospital’s chief of staff, spoke of the new Rideau Tay Health Link, which he said makes sure that patients get “the right care, at the right time at the right place.” Physician recruitment also continues to be a priority for the hospital, said Roney, and that with the addition of the new family health clinic across the road in Smiths Falls, where 12 family doctors can operate out of, he Speaking from experience hopes that there will be a “full Ian Ross, the vice chair and complement” of family doc- treasurer of the Smiths Falls tors there soon. Community Hospital Founda-

tion, came to the lectern with a unique perspective on the morning’s proceedings. With his hospital bracelet still visible on his wrist, Ross said he could honestly say, “I am quite happy with the service provided.” Not only is he a hospital volunteer, but, “I am also a client. I think everybody should be a patient. It was an eye-opener for me this morning.” The meeting also heard that the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Auxiliary’s 102 volunteers donated 6,861.25 Desmond Devoy / METROLAND volunteer hours, and the Great War Memorial Hospital’s Above, Linda Bisonette, president and chief executive officer of the Auxiliary’s 106 volunteers Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, shows off the hospital’s 2014 donated 19,112 volunteer annual report during her remarks at the annual general meeting. hours. By the numbers, in the past year, the hospital saw: • 3,590 admissions; • 308 births; • 212,538 lab tests performed on site; • 46,945 emergency room visits; • 297 hip/knee procedures; • 7,361 operating room procedures; • 52,567 pharmacy prescriptions; • 4,608 dialysis visits.

New permanent Perth college dean begins work Aug. 5 Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

R0012782366_0703

News – Algonquin College has hired from within to fill the role of dean for the Perth campus. Christopher Hahn, who is currently head of apprenticeship, training, and academic chair of construction, trades and building systems at the college’s Ottawa campus, will begin work in his new role on Aug. 5. “It’s like walking amongst giants,” he said with a grin, having completed a tour of the campus on Thursday, June 26, his first day of transition, shadowing outgoing interim dean Dave Donaldson, who returns later this summer to his old job heading up the college’s business school in Ottawa. “You’re blown away by the talent of the staff and teachers… you’ve got the best of the best.” He admits that his current role dealing with trades will prove handy at the Perth campus, with its heritage construction programs, but “it will be a change for sure.” Pointing across the table to Donaldson, he adds, “He’ll be a tough act to follow.” Rather than coming in to the job looking to enact revolutionary change, in his new role he says he will “try to be as supportive as possible, to listen as much as possible.” Hahn currently lives in Mississippi Mills, between Almonte and Carleton Place, a place he has called home for 22 years. But the first place he ever called home was where he was born, Galt, now Cambridge, Ont. He attended Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ont., where he graduated with a degree in business administration in 1987. That fall, he was interviewed for a job as a program officer with the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation. That November, after a visit to the far north, he took the job and then had to make another big decision – should he and his girlfriend get married down south, or up north? Ultimately, they chose to get married in Dundas, Ont., and held their reception in nearby Hamilton, on Jan. 2, 1988. “There is no problem getting a hall on Jan. 2,” joked Hahn. Two days later, they moved to the Northwest Territories, specifically, Frobisher Bay, in what is now Iqaluit, Nunavut territory. He was glad to “see a part of Canada that few people get to see.” In the far north, he worked with local housing associations, housing boards, managers and maintenance personnel. One of the many challenges facing northern housing is that most northerners live in some type of government housing. A unique solution to this, during his time up north, was a home ownership program. In essence, a citizen would be given a house for free, with all of the material dropped off on the beach of the community. The homeowner-to-be had to then drag it to the building locale, and build it themselves. In some instances, it was cheaper to provide housing this way, once long-term maintenance costs

were factored in. “I loved it,” he said of his time in the north. “You are in a community. (But) I was in the minority.” He admitted that, like many southerners, he faced the usual conundrum of living in the north: “People either go or they stay. (I) loved it but my wife and I decided we wanted to start a family.” So, they left and, from 1990 to 1992, he worked for the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in Kingston for their rent review services department, later the rent control board. He had to adjudicate and mediate on landlord and tenant matters in a quasijudicial setting. He continued to work at the ministry, only out of the Ottawa office, from 1992 to 1998. It may seem hard to recall now, but Nortel, at the time, “had a great reputation.” The dark clouds were only starting to gather on the horizon for the company, but he felt some of the first tremors with the company, when he jumped on board as a contractor with them in 1998, for a six-month contract – which was then not renewed, along with dozens of other contracts. “I was looking to make a change,” he said. Shortly after this contract ended, another opportunity with the provincial government which, in time, would lead him to Perth. In the fall of 1998, he was hired on with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, where he stayed until 2010. During his time at the ministry, he was seconded, from March 2002 to late 2003 to work at the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation, now Invest Ottawa. While he had worked almost exclu-

Old and new: As the welcome sign for Algonquin College’s Perth campus gets a face-lift, thanks to the hard work of students Dylan Hansen, Shayana England and Bob Armstrong, outgoing interim dean Dave Donaldson welcomes incoming dean Christopher Hahn to Perth. sively in an office environment since graduation, he came from a family immersed in the trades. His brother started out cleaning chimneys, and now works as a contractor. His other brother runs a machine shop, while his father ran a wrecking yard, while his grandfather was a plumber. “If you want to make a difference, this is the place to do it,” he said of Algonquin College, where he started working in 2010. “The college is an asset that can have a huge impact on the community.” Donaldson took over from Shelley Carter-Rose last year, when she ended her leadership position at the campus suddenly. Hahn hopes that his new posi-

tion will be for the long-term. “I guess there have been a few changes,” said Hahn. “I am going to work as hard as I can. I can’t change yesterday. I am looking forward to a long relationship… I am excited to be here. It’s not me coming in and saying ‘Oh, I have some great ideas.’ It is working with people.” In his new role, “you try to be as supportive as possible, to listen as much as possible.” Donaldson agreed that maintaining continuity was one of the likely reasons why the college hired from within. “Because of the sudden departure of my predecessor…(we will use Hahn’s) skill set to set things right,” said Don-

aldson. “For Chris, this is a bit of a learning curve,” but he does tick off all the right boxes on his own checklist, such a living locally, long-term, and a previous association with the college. “There is continuity,” Donaldson said, adding that “I am not going away,” that he will still continue to mentor Hahn. “It won’t be a cold start,” added Hahn. “It’ll be a reasonably smooth transition,” said Donaldson. “It’ll just be a matter of nuance.” In fact, Donaldson admits to being a little “jealous” that Hahn gets to continue on in a role he himself has come to love. “Personally, I think that this (campus) is a jewel,” said Hahn. “I sincerely believe that…(and) to grow a campus, you have to think five, 10 years out.” Apart from reaching out to the community by, say, opening up the college’s parking lot to overflow parking for the upcoming Stewart Park Festival, and creating a partnership between the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce, the town and the college to offer chamber members a certificate-level group of classes to improve their skills, one of Donaldson’s legacies to trying to start an economic impact study for the town. “I think we are a major economic contributor,” said Donaldson. “There is a difference between being in a community and being a part of a community,” agreed Hahn. He admits he has a lot of reading to do over the next month, and that he wants to “build on what Donaldson has already done here…and then carry it forward. (But) I can add to that conversation.”

What is a woman’s role, Mr. MacKay?

E

ditorial – Does the federal justice minister really believe that fewer women apply for roles as judges because they choose, instead, to bond with their children? We don’t know. Peter MacKay isn’t talking about something that a good number of Canadian women, and men, feel he needs to clear the air about. “I think enough has been said about what I didn’t say,” MacKay told CTV News this past weekend, about the ongoing controversy about his speech to the Ontario Bar Association last month. His comments sound remarkably like Toronto’s tanned, rested, ready, back-on-the-job Mayor Rob Ford, who originally said that he could not comment on a crack video that may or may not exist – only to find that, lo and behold, it did exist. What is dumbfounding about this whole thing is that he made, or did not make, these comments to a room full of lawyers – you just know someone was going to talk. Last week, a lawyer in attendance told CBC Radio that, indeed, MacKay made these remarks, and that one could hear a pin drop after his comments about the lack of female judges. The bar association is not making things easier by refusing to release audio of MacKay’s speech. If he did not say what he is alleged to have said, why not release the audio and clear all doubt? By not releasing the recording, they are implying that he did indeed say what he said, but they just don’t want to provide the opposition with ammunition. Or they want to make him look bad, let him twist

S

in the wind. Now MacKay’s wife, Nazanin Afshin-Jam, has released a letter saying that this is a tempest in a teapot; that really, he is a loving, caring father to their child, Kian, and helps out around the house, as much as his demanding job allows. Other women have defended MacKay’s Mother’s Day email as truly capturing what their typical workday morning looks like. No one is doubting that mornings in many Canadian households can be hectic. What is lost is that this is also the same morning faced by countless fathers across the country as well. What was lost in the Father’s Day email is not that father’s shape young minds for future success, but countless mothers do as well. Taken on their own, the emails seem to be what one would expect from a politician – full of wellintended, but harmless platitudes. Taken together, they speak to very different visions of the role that the sex plays in parenting. MacKay and the bar association are doing themselves no favours by not talking about this. Both could, and should, clear this up. This keep-ontruckin’, quarterback-barrelling-through, Ford-like mentality is not helpful, in the long run and could undermine MacKay’s obvious leadership ambitions. He is by no means a bad man, nor are his comments evil and sexist. He is just grossly misinformed. By not owning up, he is passing up an opportunity to learn from his mistakes, and making changes - like working towards gender parity on the bench.

What? I can leave the house?

chool’s out. Did you notice? I did. For many years this season struck fear into my heart. OK, maybe not fear, more like trepidation. Or angst or concern. Anyway, something struck my heart – or maybe it was my gut. Whatever it was, it’s because I am self-employed (which can be fearful enough at any time). The good thing is it tends to give me a flexible schedule that has, since the kids were born, allowed me to work from home and be around when they are off school. By the way, “flexible schedule” actually means “working nights and weekends when the other parental unit is home in order to catch up.” Nevertheless, it has worked. The thing is, although my office is at home, I am frequently required to leave the house and show up for things and meet with people. That’s usually fine, especially when it is a routine thing, such as teaching a class at the

same time each week. As many moms and dads know, setting up babysitters tends to work best when you have a consistent need, such as every day all day or, in my case, one day a week when I’m teaching in the summer. You set it up and kapow! It’s in place and you’re good to go. But what about those unscheduled things? After all, teaching isn’t actually my “self-employed” gig; it’s my “parttime gig.” So I still have to meet with clients or run a bunch of work errands that aren’t really scheduled. Well, I’ve learned from experience you just can’t drag the short people everywhere, so that’s when having two sets of generous grandparents nearby who are willing to help has been a godsend. Even so, this requires arrangements and drop-offs and pick-ups, etc., which can make things a little hectic and unpredictable for everyone. This year, though, one of the short

people is 12, and he is good about minding the other short person when I need to conduct the aforementioned business. There are two interesting points to make about this. First, it is a great example of how there are pros and cons to every stage. For instance, newborns are portable and sleep a lot, but they also wake up in the night and need to eat 42 times a day and so on, not to mention the poopy diapers. Well, the current stage features the pro of having a responsible kid who I can leave in charge, which gives me a degree of relief and freedom, coupled with the con of fretting over what...

um... unique things his younger sister might be able to conjure up while under his care. Thank goodness for cell phones. The second point to all of this is... omigod I have a 12-year-old kid? How did that happen? Point two sort of ties into point one as well. I remember, eons ago, other parents telling me to savour every moment. Don’t rush them growing up. Enjoy the spit-up and poo and sleepless nights because at other stages you’ll just be losing sleep over different – bigger – things. I would nod obediently and silently wonder how many hours of sleep the advice giver was getting while biting my tongue so I didn’t say, “I’m exhausted and you’re crazy!” Oh, I’m kidding! Sort of. I mean, it’s good advice and it’s true because kids grow up fast, but I’m also human and I’ve gotta tell you I don’t miss poopy diapers.

I could, however, do with watching some Mighty Machines episodes. Coolest show. Ahem. Anyway, all of this is to say the start of this summer has been somewhat awesome because even though I am working I also a) have that dandy “flexible” schedule that might allow us to go to the beach from time to time, b) have that 12-year-old onsite babysitter for the first time ever and c) don’t have to pack lunches every single day! Yes oh yes I am ecstatic on the lunch front. Packing lunches was fun for a while – a year, maybe two, but the thrill has most definitely worn off and the chief cook and tiny plastic container washer is happy for the break. As an added bonus, the temptation of munching on leftover snack items from those lunch bags is also eliminated for a couple of months. Now, if I could just avoid snacking at the beach...

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Roaming cats cause of declining bird population ties have passed bylaws such that: owners must have their cat registered with a collar or microchip insertion; a cat cannot be off the owner’s property unless it is restrained; cats found trespassing can be seized and impounded. I hope that eventually the Town of Perth will pass similar legislation. If dog owners have to abide by these laws, why not the same for owners of cats? There is another important issue in this discussion. There is so little in life that we have control over. I should be able to have some control over what happens on my property. I should have the right to set up a bird friendly space without interference. The custom of cats being allowed to freely follow their natural predatory instincts has to stop.

DEAR EDITOR, It has been documented that many bird populations in North America are in decline. I have set up bird feeders and a bird bath on my property. It has given me great pleasure to watch the birds year round. I also felt that by creating a “little oasis” for these beautiful creatures, I was contributing (however small) to their survival. But wait…enter the cats – both pet and feral, coming in for the daily hunt. The cats lurk in the hedge and in the flower beds. They perch on the car hood and on the deck railing. Now, I feel that what I have set in place is actually luring the birds to their death. I might be doing them a greater favour to just dismantle the feeders and bird bath! The American Bird Conservancy estimates that in the U.S., roaming domestic cats have killed 1.4 to 3.7 billion birds. The numbers of other native wildlife killed by cats is higher. Many municipali-

loving memory of my dear son Dwayne Laming who was taken tragically on July 4th, 2010. I only have a picture now, A frozen piece of time, To remind me of how it was, When you were here, and mine.

Tjebbe “Jim”

In precious memory of our wonderful son / brother “Ty” who walked through Heaven’s Gate, July 2, 2002. A picture of you we carry in our hearts, We close our eyes to see it, When the world gets dark, A memory of you we carry in our soul. We wrap it close around us, When the nights get cold. If you ask how we are, we’d say just fine, But the truth is, If you could read our minds, Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you, With aching hearts and tears unseen. Wishing with all our hearts, That your absence was only a dream. We’ll love and miss you forever, Mom, Dad, and Brother Trav xxoo

CASSELMAN, EARL B. - In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, who passed away July 2, 2009 We little knew that morning, That God would call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by wife, Lois and daughters Linda, Debra, Donna and Glenna and their families

DeSALVO – In loving memory of a wonderful, loving husband and father. Chris you left us a year ago, June 28, 2013, taken way too soon. Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, We have to hide the heartache, When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent are the tears that fall, Living here without you, Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us, Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. The special years will not return, When we were all together, But with the love in our hearts, You will walk with us forever. Miss you Forever and Always, Connie, Emily and Patrick

WATT, DAVID 1957 - 2008 Together we found friendship, raised a family & built a beautiful marriage. Still can’t believe you won’t be here to celebrate your 40th Wedding Anniversary on the 27th I think of you with an ache in my heart and a tear in my eye. The tears in my eyes I can wipe away but the ache in my heart is here to stay. It’s hard for me to accept that your life on earth is through. I see us walking hand in hand like we used to do. I keep remembering a song (Going away without you babe) And the last line of it (I’ll send for you to be with me) well I’m waiting. Our years together are locked in my heart to stay. I will always love & miss you. Happy Anniversary Your loving Wife

SANDS, Earl – In loving memory of my beloved husband who passed away on July 11, 2012. There is a place in my heart that is yours alone, A piece of love that no one can own. For deep in my heart you will be kept, To love and to cherish and never forget. – SASHA, Dec. 12, 2000-Jun 23, 2014 And if dogs have a heaven, I know where she would be, Sitting with you in the shade of an old maple tree. Marjorie

ASHTON, Arthur – In loving memory of my husband, who passed away June 29, 2011. Every night at bed-time, I wonder where you are. Yes, I believe in Heaven, But, oh it seems so far.

Remembering start of First World War Terry O’Hearn

Community - Several members of our branch travelled to the Dominion Convention held June 14 to 18 in Edmonton, Alberta. John and Mary Lou Brankin, and Eric and Marilyn Devlin, all made the trip west, and although a brief report was made at the recent general meeting, it seems that what happens in Edmonton stays in Edmonton. Curator of our Hall of Remembrance military museum John Gemmell relates that: “We are putting together a display to commemorate the start of the First World War on July 28, 1914. The war was triggered by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria on June 28. It was the first global war and called the World War and/or the Great War and was referred to as the War to end all Wars which history proves sadly was not the case. Field Marshall Sir Douglas Haig was quoted in 1915 as saying ‘the machine gun is a much over-rated weapon’, but it was the machine gun that killed and wounded countless troops on both sides while gaining very little territory. An armistice on November 11, 1918 ended the war leaving approximately 40 million military killed, wounded and MIA collectively and this does not include the civilian losses.â€? The museum will be open on Monday, July 28, from 1 to 4 p.m. for guided tours, or to browse on your own. See our website listed below for more information. Days of Yore ‌

From The Perth Courier, March 23, 1900: “QUEEN’S CHOCOLATES – While in town, Mrs. P. Donegan got word that the box containing the package of chocolates sent by Queen Victoria to the soldiers in South Africa, and received by her son John, had arrived in London, Ont., at her home, having been sent there by him before his tragic death at Paaderberg.� Did you know? In 1942 Seaman First Class Calvin Graham was aboard the U.S.S. South Dakota, when the battleship was attacked by the Japanese during the battle of Guadalcanal. In the fight that followed, the muzzle blast from the ship’s own 16-inch guns set sailors afire and hurled them into the sea while the enemy riddled the South Dakota with shells. Graham was blown off an upper deck while trying to rescue a wounded shipmate and tumbled 30 feet, shattering his upper jawbone. Half the Submitted photo ship’s crew of 3,300 were killed or wounded, and From the left, Terry O’Hearn, John Gemmell, and Bill McKenzie, will be welcoming visitors Graham emerged with a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. He was 12 years old at the time. Graham at the Hall of Remembrance military museum on July 28, the 100th anniversary of the was one of seven children, and had left home in start of the First World War. Houston, Texas, after telling his mother that he was going to visit relatives. When the Navy discovered Graham’s real age, he was confined to cells and stripped of his medals, but they later relented and he was released on his 13th birthday.

News - The second annual Walkers Shortbread competition was an opportunity for runners and non-runners of all ages to participate in the excitement of the 2014 Perth Kilt Run on June 21. There were four prize-winners this year: Nicolaas Bosman (kids category), Lorraine Garneau (first prize, adult), Mary Rothfels (second prize, adult) and Natalie Bell-Dagenais (third prize, adult). The three judges were Holmes McCullough (first prize in 2013, individual category), Helen Racette (representing Providence Point, first prize in 2013, business category) and John McColl (a judge in 2012). The prizes included cash awards of up to $100. Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you to all the competitors and judges! Many folks were attracted to the Walkers Shortbread tent in Stewart Park, hoping for samples of the award-winning cookies. Those who ran the 8km Kilt Run did get to enjoy the contest entries provided by the community as well as the 3,000 cookies donated by Walkers Shortbread, a Scottish Highlands family-owned company recognized for excellence the world over. What do you think – should shortbread remain the cookie of choice for the Perth Kilt Run, or might it be time for a change to fruitcake, oatcakes, oatmeal cookies or some other Scots-friendly treat? Send your suggestions to the Perth Kilt Run blog (http://perthkiltrun.blogspot.ca/). Meanwhile you have a year to hone your baking skills – see you back at the tent in 2015!

when a vehicle is passing them. They could easily slip on their tires and fall. They need to stay on the paved road. Cyclists can’t cycle on areas with potholes or bad road. They need to keep to the left of those areas. These are sometimes in dangerous spots, for instance on a couple of hills on Christie Lake Road, and on many points on Harper Road. Drivers should make sure they are at least one metre from cyclists when they pass and should only pass when it is safe to do so. Cyclists need to be aware of the following: Keep a safety zone of one metre on either side of their bicycles. Always stop at red lights. Always ride in single file. Only ride two abreast when it is safe to do so. Make sure their lights are working if they’re cycling at twilight or in the dark.

Shortbread competition gives judges tough choices

of the road. Unlike cyclists in cities, cyclists on rural roads are riding on the same roads as motor vehicles going highway speeds. This presents greater dangers and therefore requires greater awareness from both drivers and cyclists. Most cyclists are drivers, whereas few drivers are cyclists. That means cyclists know what it’s like as a driver to encounter cyclists and are, presumably, more aware of how they need to act to keep both of them safe. On roads without paved shoulders, all drivers and riders need to be particularly vigilant because there is nowhere for cyclists to go. Drivers need to be aware of the following: Most cyclists are on road bikes with thin tires and are clipped in to their pedals. Most roads in the area have gravel shoulders. That means cyclists can’t just go on to the shoulder

News - Now that it’s summertime, there are a lot more vehicles on the road: cars, trucks— and bicycles. Many cyclists have stories about unsafe drivers and all drivers have stories about unsafe cyclists. But interacting safely with each other is the focus. It’s important for all of us using the roads to understand that motorized vehicles and bicycles are all classified as vehicles under the Highway Traffic Act. Cyclists and motorists are subject to the same rules and responsibilities. For example, no vehicle is allowed to ride or drive along a crosswalk. This is an offence with a $110 fine. All vehicles must understand and use correct lighting and signalling and drive or ride with the flow of traffic. The HTA states that a highway includes the area between the property lines on either side

Cost for new transportation master plan sparks intense debate at Perth council desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Does Perth need to spend $66,000 for an outside firm to write up a transportation master plan? Some town councillors see it as a waste of money. Others fail to see how the town can move forward without one. Council voted at its June 24 meeting to award the contract for the transportation master plan to Stantec Engineering, but not without a spirited debate, with councillors Jim Boldt and Ed McPherson questioning the necessity for such a plan in the first place. Boldt began his charge to halt the plan by referring to an earlier report from 1990 which, “I feel that, in many ways… is still relevant today.” Many of the recommendations from 24 years ago, such as the need for a truck bypass, are still relevant, and so, “I fail to see why we would need a consultant’s report based on what we have in this.” He also informed council that he had contacted Carleton Place’s treasurer, Phil Hogan, who told him that that town had never taken on that kind of master transportation survey – even though “Carleton Place is just exploding,” in terms of population. A phone call to Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples showed that, in his 29 years on that town’s council, “he had never remembered them undertaking any type of this study in Smiths Falls.” When it comes to (for example) planning for a new subdivision in Perth, “we have always relied on our staff for those figures.” But the town’s environmental services director, Grant Machan, noted the proposed new plan “is an update of that report from 1990. A number of those findings in that report (from 1990)… were ahead of their time,” and were used as the basis of the redesign of Wilson Street. Coun. Jim Graff noted that the 1990 report could not have taken

into account the growth in population in what are now Tay Valley and Drummond/North Elmsley townships, even though Perth’s population remained fairly static, and did not reach the 10,000 it had anticipated. “It is a lot of money,” Graff admitted of the $66,000, “but maybe it is short-term pain for long-term gain.” Coun. Judy Brown supported the new plan, for a different reason. “This is critical to doing the official plan,” she said. “Situations are apt to change within 24 years. We do have increasing tourism traffic. We need another set of eyes on this.” Coun. Beth Peterkin said she wanted to see a new plan because it would be written by professionals “with no preconceived emotional attachment to what they see.” While Boldt had suggested that staff had been able to study different challenges as they arose, overall, “I would rather be proactive than doing it piecemeal.” The town expects that there will be population growth over the next 10 years, added Peterkin. “I’m not suggesting that they would just cut and paste” from the 1990 report, said Boldt. “I grant that that is a long time. But a lot has not changed in 24 years.” He said he just wanted to get “value for money,” by using the still-relevant information from the early ’90s, and then supplementing where necessary through town staff. “We are spending far too much money in a period of restraint,” said Boldt. Brown however noted, “Wilson Street looks a great deal different,” than it did in 1990. “I know that this is needed,” said Mayor John Fenik, who noted that he was on council in 1990. “With the new Liberal government,” he said, if the town goes to the province seeking money for roads or related infrastructure, he anticipates that the town would be asked,

“Have you got an updated transportation master plan? I know that that is what they are going to ask.” Fenik added, “I have never chased what Smiths Falls and Carleton Place have done,” and that he would not be doing that for this matter either. He did however applaud the research done by Boldt. “You did great work on this,” Fenik said to Boldt. Boldt thanked the mayor for his kind words, but clarified that he made the phone calls “for insight. I know that we stand alone… I made those phone calls for information purposes.” Coun. McPherson stated that he wanted to defer the matter to September’s committee-of-the-whole meeting, but, this motion was later defeated, partially because the $66,000 price tag was only good for the next 60 days, and that it would be best to get the study done for this summer. “I have about 4,000 questions,” he said. “I love the fear mongering that comes when people want to get something their way.” Fenik, however, took McPherson to task for his comments, saying: “Fear mongering, that certainly is not called for.” McPherson stated that he continued to be opposed to the plan. “I disagree that this plan will answer all of our questions.” He also noted that, from his perspective, no major road changes in town had been taken based on a transportation master plan, and that council and staff already knew in their hearts what would and would not be reality. “One-way streets coming down Foster Street is never going to happen,” McPherson said. “Is anyone in town going to raise that Craig Street bridge? That is not going to happen.” As for the proposed truck bypass, “when will that happen? We do know we need a ring road.” As for any road problems, “they come up each year and we always deal with it,” McPherson said,

transportation plan or no transportation plan. But Boldt and McPherson’s opposition continued to meet resistance from other councillors. “We are here now,” said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell. “We have the request for proposal now. We have a competitive price. If we do not do it this year, it won’t happen this year.” Peterkin agreed that, even town staff “are not experts in all of these areas. We need outside advice.” Graff, however, though in favour of a plan, conceded that the money was still an issue. “During an election year, to spend (up to) $80,000 may be risqué,” Graff said. “We are trying to do the best that we can.” But McPherson continued his charge, continuing to point out that a new plan would not change anyone’s mind at town hall. “Is this going to change anything?” he asked. “Where will trucks go other than Gore Street? They are terrible, going down the main street of Perth, but they have nowhere else to go… I don’t think that any company can tell us more than those two guys at the table,” said McPherson, pointing to Machan and fellow staffer Eric Cousens. This new report is, in his estimation, “buying an expert to tell me what we already know.” Boldt agreed that “it doesn’t seem worth it to me. We have very, very smart people here on the payroll.” While Brown agreed that staff was certainly a great asset at town hall, when it comes to seeking provincial funding, “they (the province) are not going to give credence (to town staff reports) which were done by out stuff.” But McPherson disagreed with this too, pointing to the provincially-mandated asset management plan that they had to complete. “If you have that done, you will be open to funding,” said McPherson.

Thanks to Cardel and Julie for helping enrich the lives and prospects of Ottawa children.” The social media scavenger hunt took place at Cardel Homes’ recent tea party for Ottawa charities and not-for-profits held to introduce Cardel Foundations and encourage applications for support and funding. “When I won the donation by taking part in Cardel Homes’ social media scavenger hunt, I was so happy,” said Julie Harrison, family blogger at Coffee with Julie. “I decided to give the money to Christie Lake Kids because it’s a charity that means something to me and my family; when we vacation, we spend time enjoying the outdoors and I wanted to provide a child the same opportunity, one who wouldn’t normally get the chance to.” “Not everyone has the means to take their children camping; sometimes work gets in the way, other times there just isn’t money in the bank for the little extras,” said Julie Harrison.

Christie Lake Kids and how you can get involved, visit www. coffeewithjulie.ca. Established in 1922, Christie Lake Kids has been providing opportunities for economically disadvantaged children to learn and grow with activities and programs they might not normally have access to.

Cardel Foundations aims to support initiatives that enrich lives and communities. The foundation has a long history of sponsoring initiatives that bring people together. This goes beyond simple sponsorship, Cardel believes in dedicating time and talent to worthy causes. From breast cancer campaigns and food bank drives to programs that keep underprivileged kids in sports, Cardel provides planning, marketing and financial assistance to help build strong communities in every sense.

Sports - Members of the Perth Golf Course Twilight League are trying out the old children’s song “Rain, Rain, Go Away! June 24 brought out 60 golfers and another rainy evening. Most of the golfers completed 9 before the horn blew to halt play, but not all. Kinch Carpentry and Winch Electric sponsored the play and brought lots of prizes for the eve-

ning. We played a 4-man scramble and the team of Jim Buchanan, Fred Parks, Richard and Robert Crowe scored a 30 on the front. Doug James, Jack Stewart and Gord Buchan came in with a 36 on the back. Long drives were by Cliff Warner, Gary Carr and Bill Nichols. Warner also won the Burns Jewelry entry to the gift certificate draw at the closing by being closest to the pin on #8. Bob Burch

won the Lanark Landing gift certificate for closest to the pin on #15. The Canadian Tire $500 gift certificate for a hole in one on #3 during twilight play is still available to a skilled, or very lucky, golfer. Congratulations go out to Bob Lake for his hole-in-one during the June 26 Thursday Senior Men’s League on No. 8.

PDCI valedictorian cuts to the chase during commencement remarks Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – For a guy who never liked English class that much, Jon Tysick knew how to keep it brief. The valedictorian for the 2014 graduating class at Perth and District Collegiate Institute, also knew how to keep things in perspective in a presentation where he dispensed with many of the expected niceties, and instead devoted half of his time to a song, self-composed piece, written for the occasion, whose haunting refrain was that “There’s no turning back.” “I’ll dispense with the adjectives because I’ll never be forced to take an English course here at PDCI again!” he said with obvious delight, though he admitted that, like many of his fellow graduates, entering the umpteenth hour of the ceremony, he was “sweating in an over-sized dress in front of hundreds of people.” He did, however, let some game-day pep rally talk pepper his speech, looking out at various coaches he had had at the school over the years saying on graduation day June 26, “it’s game day, we’re all fired up, and we have our big boy and big girl pants on.” At PDCI was where he and his fellow students, starting out in 2010, first tasted the sweet smell of victory – and the agony of defeat, not just on the field, but in life, in class, and elsewhere. “It was a blast going to school in Perth,” Tysick said. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Tysick also let his Christian faith shine through in his words, telling his fellow graduates that “there is a God and he loves you,” but adding that he too was going to put his words into action by doing

missionary work soon in South Africa. “I’m not going to tell you to follow your dreams or listen to your heart or whatever I’m supposed to say up here,” he said, before urging everyone in the stifling auditorium to bear one thing in mind: if you live in North America and earn more than $40,000 a year, you already earn more than 98 per cent of the rest of the world. “What are you going to do with the gifts you have been given?” he asked, suddenly serious.

In principle Principal John Gow had a more by-the-numbers speech for graduates, when compared to Tysick’s, but he too managed to convey a compelling message, that of “connecting your strengths with your passion.” He admitted that, of late, he had spent far too much time in the office, “having to do things in the office I didn’t want to do but had to be done.” It took breaking away from the office grindstone and seeing the athletic banquet and the talent show to realize that those moments were what made it all worthwhile. “In most jobs, there are parts that you enjoy, parts that you don’t enjoy,” Gow said. “Seek a career that you are passionate about. It won’t be easy. Some of your dreams will take longer than others.” He also stressed the need for balance in one’s life, but again returned to the theme of taking passion and joy in one’s work. “You are going to rely on that when you run into tough times,” Gow said. “You will rely on your passion to get through those tough times.”

He shouldn’t have to beg, just because he’s in a wheelchair: Beth Parks hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community - He’s a talented musician with about eight original songs to his name. He plays whenever he can and usually for fundraisers, but Tony Leduc hasn’t been playing much this year, he’s hardly been able to get out of his house for the past 12 months. “I’ve been out twice in the past year,� said Leduc. The cheerful and outgoing young man has helped raise funds for CHEO for Easter Seals and even for his old alma mater, Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI). “I did a fundraiser for SFDCI to purchase a sports wheelchair because I did track and field, and so that it would be there for other disabled athletes,� he said. Leduc was born with Spina Bifida and Hyposyphalis. He is wheelchair bound, and the nature of his disability means that his wheelchairs are not collapsible and he has to be lifted into a vehicle wheelchair and all. “He doesn’t have any lateral stability,� explains his foster mother Beth Parks. When Leduc was just three weeks old, Parks took him into her home as a foster child. He still lives with her in her accessible home in Maberly, but going out is a challenge. “Two years ago my van, which has a lift in it was already archaic, but now it’s not safe to drive,� said Parks. Without a van or any other vehicle that can lift Leduc, Parks can’t transport him and he’s way too heavy for her to maneuver into a regular vehicle on her own. “We’ve managed to raise $6,700 so far, partly through what started as a class project, through a Facebook page and Lake 88,� said Dustin Darou, a close friend and neighbour. A hockey athlete who played for the Smiths Falls Bears and the Carleton Place Canadians, Darou is currently on a hockey scholarship in Boston, Mass. When he was assigned a fundraising project at school, he wanted to do something that

would make a real difference and Leduc immediately came to mind. “We’ve been friends since we were kids, he’s just a great guy and he’s been in the house for a year, but he’s still really positive,â€? said Darou. Up until Leduc was 18 he was under the care of Children’s Aid Society, but as an adult he was transferred to the care of the Ontario Disability Support Program. “So ODSP pays his board and medical supplies, and he does have access to transportation through Lanark Transportation if I book it two weeks in advance, which works for all his regular medical appointments,â€? said Parks. The problem is that Leduc’s condition also makes him extremely susceptible to all kinds of other illnesses that can’t be scheduled. “Tony gets sick very quickly and Lanark Transportation isn’t available for emergencies,â€? said Parks. Emergencies aside, he is passionate about music but without transportation he can’t get out to jam or to play at any of the music venues he’s previously played at, including benefits for the community or the Sounds of Town in Carleton Place. “It really makes it hard for him to play music, Howaida Sorour/METROLAND and it means he goes through periods of depres- Musician and all round good guy, Tony Leduc (right), seen here with his close friend Dustin sion,â€? said Parks.

Duck Race will continue despite theft STAFF

News - The entire Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) family is thrilled to announce that the 2014 Great Tay Duck Race will go ahead as planned, despite a theft last week that saw a large number of tickets stolen from the Perth youth centre. “YAK will be re-issuing new duck race tickets under the new license number,� said Tannis Cowan, executive director at YAK. “It hasn’t been easy, but we’re adjusting,� said Cowan. “The kids have turned into super sleuths, trying to find anything that was stolen if it’s being sold on Ebay or Kijiji or any swap shops. We all want to find out who did this.� As of June 23, YAK stopped selling all duck race tickets on white paper and with the lottery license #693956. YAK has now obtained a new permit and has begun issuing and selling new duck race tickets. All tickets

holders will be given a chance to renew their tickets or seek a full refund. Following the OLG’s rules, YAK must contact every person who purchased one of the original Duck Race tickets under the original lottery license number. Every ticket purchaser will be given the opportunity transfer their purchase to the new Duck Race tickets or receive a full refund. For tickets numbered between 1 and 499, YAK will be calling all of the ticket holders and will be offering either a replacement ticket or a refund. For anyone with tickets between 500 and 1,000, YAK staff will need to see the actual ticket stub that was given to you upon purchase. Stop in to YAK at 1 Sherbrooke St. E. in Perth between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday to Friday. Visit YAK’s booth at the Stewart Park Festival from Friday, July 18 until noon on Sunday, July

20. YAK will be at the festival validating tickets, selling new tickets and thanking the community for its support. Anyone wanting a ticket refund must contact YAK before noon on Sunday, July 20. All inquiries should be directed to Cowan. As of Friday, June 27, YAK will begin selling duck race tickets again. These will be under the new lottery license number that will appear on coloured paper. “We will not resell any duck numbers that were already sold,� said Cowan. “If you bought a white ticket earlier this spring please be sure to contact us so we can call you back if your duck wins.� The new tickets for the Great Tay Duck Race will feature the new lottery license number, will be printed on coloured paper and will only be sold by YAK or Civitan members.

Successful Bioblitz held at Keddy Nature Sanctuary Community – Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go back in time and see how your property looked 100 years ago? Was it covered with dense forest or was it already logged off to create pasture land for cattle or sheep? If so many changes could take place in just 100 years, can you imagine how that same land might look 1,000 years from now? Will it even be recognizable as the same landscape or will it be completely consumed by urban sprawl with very little evidence of any fields and forests. Will the people living in that location even be able to imagine that 1000 years ago you were forced to fence your vegetable garden to protect it from the deer and rabbits and that you regularly listened to coyotes howling on summer evenings? At the Keddy Nature Sanctuary, 1,000 years from now, we can be confident that species existing in 2014 will still be flourishing thanks to the legal protection provided by Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust. How do we know what is being protected? One way to begin such a species inventory is with a 24-hour Bioblitz and there couldn’t have been a better day for it than June 6 to 7, when a large group of scientific experts, naturalists and volunteers gathered to survey the 530acre nature reserve just west of Carleton Place. More than 140 acres of this property are designated Provincially Significant Wetland Complex, one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on earth – a wildlife haven. The 24-hour span of this event allowed for observances of the creatures

of the night, and the identification of insects after dark was a particular interest. White sheets and blacklights were strung up between the trees creating a bluish glow on the sheets which is greatly attractive to insects. Our entomologists were rewarded with a dance of the Luna Moths with their luminous pale green hue and exceptionally wide wingspan. As early as 5 a.m. the next morning, the birders were out with their binoculars and listening to the multitude of bird calls at that early hour. By the time the Bioblitz wrapped up after lunch, 75 volunteers had assisted with various aspects of the event. The organization of the Bioblitz was a team effort from beginning to end. Led by the Lanark County Stewardship Council, who successfully applied to the Biodiversity Education and Awareness Network for funding, and joined by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists and the Canadian Wildlife Federation, the partners gathered scientific experts through their respective networks and hosted a very rewarding event. Once the full list of species has been compiled, we will have a benchmark with which to monitor changes on the property over time. This special spot will never be consumed by super highways leaving us to wonder how different the place looked in the distant past. If nature has its way, the Keddy Nature Sanctuary will become even more rich over the centuries. Submitted by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust.

2014 CLA250 by Mercedes: Luxury at an unexpected value Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2014 Mercedes CLA 250 I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Ogilvie Motors Limited in Ottawa. Mercedes-Benz dealers are getting used to a new demographic of car shoppers. Since the introduction of the family-purposed B class in 2005 and the environmentally-friendly Smart car in 2004, MB dealerships have seen more, well shall we say, bargain conscious shoppers along in their showrooms along with their loyal luxury brand followers. This year MB has introduced another class aimed directly at the Detroit-Three, European and Asian mainstream sedans, the CLA 250 and the competition should be very worried. The CLA 250 starts out the price tape at an extremely surprising $34,300 and runs up to $46,200 for a fully loaded Edition 1 model. Even the adaptive all-wheel drive 4Matic model of the CLA 250 is only $36,500. All prices quoted before destination or prep fees, taxes, or current purchase incentives. My tester from the extremely welcoming team at Ogilvie Motors came in at $44,545. If you think a low-priced Mercedes can only come with the barest of equipment levels, think again. This coupe-styled and roomy four door sedan came with a rear-view camera, driver assistance package, blind spot monitoring, active parking assistance, auto-dimming mirrors, a panoramic sunroof, lane keeping assist, power-folding mirrors, large screen navigation system, and bi-zenon headlamps just to touch on the highlights. Of course the CLA 250 comes standard with one of the most advanced collision mitigation systems available to date. Simply put, for the money you can’t find a more technologically

advanced vehicle. But technology alone hasn’t made Mercedes the perennial leader in their class. It’s all about the driving experience and the CLA 250 delivers. Whether on congested city streets or open country lanes, the CLA 250 strikes the perfect balance between comfort and driving enthusiasm. For commuters a great thoughtful feature is the brake-hold system which, with a slight extra pressure on the brake pedal while stopped for a light, allows the driver to release the pedal while keeping the car stationary. When the light turns green, a slight push of the accelerator is all it takes to move. This feature alone can reduce driver fatigue dramatically. For fuel economy, the CLA is equipped with an idle-stop feature that is as smooth on restart as any of the best gasoline/electric hybrids on the road today. Under the hood a completely hand-built 2.0 L turbo-charged engine puts out 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission with three modes of shift control; economy, sport, and manual. Paddle shifters on the wheel let the driver truly enjoy the ride to work and home. Fuel economy is rated at a miserly 7.8 L/100 km city and 5.1 L/100 highway (36.2 and 55.3 mpg); figures that many ordinary subcompacts can only dream of. Mercedes didn’t skimp on the interior either for this destined to be classic. Napa leather covered heated and powered seats bring support and comfort no matter what your size or height. Real wood trim and tried and tested fabrics and materials mean the CLA will look and feel as good in 10 years as it does right off the showroom floor. Automatic temperature control brings a reliable cabin environment without noisy blower fans or excessive air flow. Unlike any of the competitors in this class, the rear seating isn’t an afterthought. Fullsized adults will travel in just as much comfort as the driver and arrive at their destination without

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 has a sleek design that’s sure to turn heads. any cramps or stiffness. While I’ve always admitted that the exterior styling of a vehicle is a purely subjective topic, few can argue that the CLA doesn’t turn heads. From any angle it has unique and purposeful lines that announce its heritage and it will attractive envious stares for years to come. Many people turn to Mercedes late in their careers when they feel they’ve earned a suitable re-

ward for a successful work-life and the sacrifices they’ve made. The CLA 250 allows them to enjoy those rewards much sooner and only face the challenge of keeping the keys from young drivers in the family. For the price of an ordinary car, you can own a CLA 250 and enjoy driving once again. Yours in service, Brian Turner

MOVIE: Transformers: Age of Extinction STARRING: Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Peter Cullen, Frank Welkner, John Goodman, and Mark Ryan DIRECTOR: Michael Bay RATING: PG Opinion – I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking this Transformers movie will be good. You’re thinking this time Michael Bay will get it right. You are of course, wrong. Transformers: Age of Extinction is a complete mess, and should be avoided at all cost. This convoluted tangle of a story has the C.I.A., led by Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer) hunting down Autobots on his own personal mission to rid the Earth of aliens. He’s also selling them for spare parts to billionaire inventor Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci) so he can reverse engineer them, and make his own.

My Take MARK HASKINS

Of course Attinger isn’t hunting Autobots on his own. He has help from a Transformer called Lockdown (Mark Ryan) who is hunting Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen). The creators of the Transformers want Optimus back, and have sent Lockdown to capture him. Caught in the middle of all this is would-be inventor Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), his daughter Tessa (Nicola Peltz) and her boyfriend Shane (Jack Reynor). Cade found Optimus and managed to repair him only to have the government blow up his home. So Cade and family go on the run with Optimus to find the remaining Autobots. There’s also something

about Megatron (Frank Welkner) coming back to life, the Dinobots rampaging, and the total destruction of the planet. To call this story overcomplicated is an understatement. Transformers 4 isn’t all bad. Mark Wahlberg is very good at looking intense, I love Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, and Stanley Tucci almost makes the film watchable. There’s at least two really good lines, and of course the special effects are outstanding. If there’s one thing Michael Bay does well, and there’s only one thing he does well, it’s blow things up. Unfortunately Michael Bay can’t tell a story to save his life. He has no un-

derstanding of who these characters are or what motivates them. He looks at these characters, and all he sees are plot devices that allow him to do a special effects spectacle. I even think he looks at actors, and sees non-computer generated effects. Bay’s guiding light is bigger and more are better. If the climactic fight at the end of a movie is the most exciting part, then seven climactic battles are even more exciting. If one explosion is cool, then nearly three hours of explosions are cooler. The man thinks if you film a sunset behind your characters, that’s drama. He doesn’t understand or care that without a decent story to tie it all together nothing makes sense. More isn’t better, it’s boring. Transformers is a great story, and I’m tired of Michael Bay ruining it. The only way to stop him is to stop seeing his movies. So I beg you not to see this film. It’s awful.

Rain, road rage, and highway cruising on road trip

Lifestyle – A recent road trip I took to Toronto last week pointed out some real road hazards we all need to be aware of for the upcoming summer travel season. More than a few Ontario regions experienced some flash flooding recently as a result of torrential rainstorms which hit with little warning. They caught more than a few drivers off guard, but rain windshieldblindings were only half the problem. (In those cases signal and safely pull far enough off to the side to avoid being hit by blinded drivers behind you and stop and wait out the storm.) Driving down flooded roads presents several real risks to safety and vehicle operation. When the road is covered with murky storm water it’s impossible to see deep potholes or washed-out sections until it’s too late. If there’s no traffic ahead of you to give you an indication of the depth of the water and/or the shape of the road surface, you should proceed with caution or better yet, find an alternative route. If there are cars ahead, a good rule of thumb is to watch their wheels to see how deep the water is. If the water is more than halfway up a car’s wheel, then unless you’re driving a 4X4 truck with high ground clearance, you run the risk of having your engine ingest water in through its air intake. When enough water gets into the combustion chamber or cylinder, it can destroy the engine by breaking the piston rods and/or crankshaft. There’s also the real risk of shorting out the electrical system of your vehicle, which can lead to some very expensive repair bills. The other relatively new hazard involves large commercial trucks on multi-lane highways. Due to mandatory speed restrictions on these rigs, when they try to pass one another they can cause long lineups of vehicles behind them.

quickly and safely. This brings up another point; many drivers overuse their cruise control in unsafe situations. If you are cruising down a 100 kph highway with the speed control on and you find you have to activate the coast and resume features more than a once or twice per minute due to traffic, then the traffic is too heavy for cruise control. Turn it off and drive according to the flow of traffic. Any fatigue risk you may avoid by using the cruise control is quickly outweighed by the risk you are presenting to yourself, your passengers, and fellow drivers. If you’re using cruise control during a heavy rainstorm, it can cause the vehicle to accelerate wildly without warning if one of the drive wheels suddenly loses traction due to water on the road.

And of course on a hot summer day with heavy traffic congestion, this can lead to some impatient drivers and more than a few cases of road rage. This problem becomes exacerbated when the big rigs clear the passing lane and passenger car drivers creep by at a relatively slow rate. Then the focus of the road rage switches from the commercial trucks to these slow passers. The longer you take to overtake a large truck, the longer you are in its blind spot and that’s not a good thing. When you pull out to pass someone, signal your intention, then accelerate to a sufficient, yet safe speed, and clear the passing lane as soon as possible. I swear some drivers use their vehicle’s cruise control in these situations, rather than passing

Lifestyle – This simple roll-up incorporates the goodness of the garden. Only you will know how easy it is to make. The dough thaws in fridge overnight. It’s a great snack, lunch box treat or birthday party staple. Use fresh or frozen blueberries but don’t defrost them. Squeeze any extra liquid from shredded apples to prevent the rollup from becoming soggy.


Quebec resident’s 1966 Plymouth Fury II or III had three doors! 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

My car now was newer… “I was the only one in the gang who had a car and was often asked for a lift. One night, my brother Michel asked me to pick up his girlfriend at home. Yes, I was always pleased to drive anywhere. We loaded the car with five young guys and there was only one place left, the one behind the right rear door that didn’t open. Danielle came out, took the handle, and opened the door. She climbed in and asked me if I had repaired the door… And the door worked for the rest of the car’s life! “After about a year, I sold the car to another younger brother, Jean-Charles, for the same $200. He used the car to go all over the place and about a year

will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

later, sold the car, always for $200, to a young neighbour with not much money. But this young guy wants a black Plymouth. “He begins to spray the whole car, but he doesn’t have enough paint and the result was far from good. The car looked like a military vehicle, black and green. “With this ugly thing on the road, he was spotted by the police. The officer saw a hole in the floor of the trunk. ‘You have to repair this.’ With no money, the car went to the car cemetery. That was the end of my first car, a green 1966 3 doors/4 doors, green/black Plymouth Fury II/III. Adios.” I’m always looking for more stories.

Lifestyle – A hilarious story comes our way from Robert Trussart of SaintThomas, Quebec: “I was born in Montreal in 1948. About 1972-73, the oldest of seven children, I want a car, my first one. I now work in a nursery and during winter, we use the machinery to remove snow around the street, and I travel to work on a bike. “A younger brother, Michel, had a girlfriend whose father wants to sell his old car, a Plymouth Fury. It was a 1966 model, Fury II or Fury III, I don’t remember, with a 318 and automatic transmission. But the car had only three doors. Yeah, three working doors, the fourth was stuck closed for a while. No problem, there are three doors left to get in and out of that big car, and he asked only $200 for that green machine. “I drove this car everywhere and one day, on the way home, there was a very strident noise coming from the speedometer. Suddenly the needle fell to the bottom of the speedo and no more noise. A visit to a wrecking yard and a new speedo with much less mileage.

Lifestyle – So many music festivals, so little time. Yes, festival season is upon us and I’m sure many readers have already been taking in Jazzfest in Ottawa with all its wonderful talent. For others, Ottawa’s Bluesfest and of course, the 24th annual Stewart Park Festival and Blue Skies are coming up quickly to satisfy your live music needs. Now think back to the last weekend in April, when we were still lost in the residue of this past year’s seemingly never-ending winter, with cold, unpredictable weather, when outdoor music festivals were pretty much the last thing on our minds. Yet, for one of my friends, it’s his favourite outdoor music festival time of the year. He’s been trying to get me to go for many years. Since 2008, Ed Roberts has been travelling 1,460 km down to Wilkesboro, North Carolina, the home of “MerleFest” – a huge music festival held on the grounds of the Wilkes Community College as a fundraiser for the college. It was started in 1988 by Grammy Award winner, flatpicking extraordinaire, the late Doc Watson and named after his son Merle, another fine musician who died in a tractor accident on the family farm. It’s a four-day mix of bluegrass, Americana, roots, blues, contemporary acoustic, Celtic, jazz, country, folk, Cajun, old time...pretty well everything on 14 stages spread throughout, including kids areas and programs to encourage future players, with audiences of more
