Blue Wings sports club defeated in tie Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
A tie in hockey still results in a one-point boost in the standings, but this particular knot was anything but favourable for the Blue Wings owner, Michael McLean. A 3-3 vote has seen the death of the proposed sports club at the Perth arena. A tie vote at council means that the matter is defeated, and Mayor John Fenik admitted after the June 30 council meeting that he had made up his mind at the council table, after hearing the likes of Coun. Judy Brown and Coun. Ed McPherson speak against the measure. In the end, the vote saw Fenik, Brown, and McPherson vote against the proposed Perth Blue Wings sports club at the arena, which would have allowed ticket holders to have a drink before, and during home games at the arena.

Merrickville Car Show ‘Cruise & Shop’ marks 15 years this Sunday ers Band, a popular local group, who will play a mixture of rock and roll, blues and country-rock. Patty Webster with Sound Hound, will be deejaying throughout the event and keep an eye out for Steve Ewing’s Amphicar, the only civilian amphibious passenger automobile. It will be swimming the Rideau Canal all day. Other activities include a performance car and truck display courtesy of Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Service’s Mike Ogilvie and family, located in and around the Merrickville Community Centre. Fire departments from across the Ottawa region will also be on hand to show off fully restored vintage vehicles and Fast Eddie is returning to “Cruise & Shop” this year
with his monster school bus, “Anger Management” truck and a few more surprises. If remote controlled cars are a hobby, watch exciting displays of remote controlled test cars and trucks. See them race at high speed and perform amazing stunts and test drive a few yourself. The Backseat Driver activity is sure to attract plenty of attention as well. This event puts a blindfolded driver and passenger in a golf cart, who are sent through an obstacle course with only the “backseat” driver and audience providing directions. Chez 106’s Eric the Intern will be the special guest announcer. Be sure to check out artists Dave Sopha and Amie Talbot as you wade
through the sea of vehicles. Sopha created “Portraits of Honour,” a large canvas oil painting featuring the 158 Canadian soldiers, sailors and air crews who lost their lives in Afghanistan; while Talbot specializes in coloured pencil art and is renowned for her large collection of antique/exotic cars. There will be plenty of opportunities to silence those growling tummies as well. The Merrickville Fire Department starts the day off right with breakfast in Blockhouse Park and the Merrick-
ville Royal Canadian Legion are serving up a barbecued chicken dinner on their backyard patio on Main Street. Merrickville Day Nursery School, St. Ann Catholic Church the Merrickville Lions Club as well as Beth Donovan Hospice, Merrickville Beach Buddies and the Merrickville Ride the Rideau team will all be offering food, drinks and snacks to visitors.

Lanark County joins the solar power game with FIT applications akulp@perfprint.ca
Lanark County hopes the sun’s rays will soon translate into some cold, hard cash. After discussion at the June 17 corporate services committee meeting, council authorized staff to go ahead with several applications for the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) Solar Program at its June 24 meeting with the goal of securing 20-year contracts with the OPA to supply power to the provincial electrical grid. “Why are we doing solar FIT? It’s basically about economics... we’re always spending more and we need to make a bit more,” explained county chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves. “If we don’t take this opportunity, it’s going to be someone else.” “It’s to show leadership in clean energy and moving towards an environmental energy source,” he added. Up to 17 applications (due July 13) have been authorized throughout the county and all eight municipalities in Lanark County (Drummond/North Elmsley, Tay Valley, Carleton Place, Montague, Beckwith, Mississippi Mills and Perth) will be partner-
ing on the project and sharing in the cost of hiring an industry expert to complete the applications ($2,700 per application). Up to $490,000 has been earmarked by the county from contingency reserves to pay for refundable application deposits for the 17 applications. Greaves stated the up front cost to complete all of the proposals is $40,500, or about $5,000 each, divided among the eight municipalities. The applications being submitted for county-owned properties, include: McDonalds Corners Pit (Dalhousie Township); 66 Christie Lake Road (Bathurst Township); King’s Pit (Darling Township); Bottle Lake Road Pit (Lavant Township); and Desalvo property (Montague Township). If five applications were successful, there could be the potential return of $1.05 million for each of the eight municipalities over a 20-year period. “At this time, we do not have a formal agreement in place between partner municipalities,” Greaves noted in his report. “Unlike other FIT programs, FIT 4.0 is not giving extra points for municipal partnerships. Therefore, to simplify the application process and given the short time window, each municipality with
property will submit applications for their specific properties. All municipal partners will be asked to contribute to the application cost. This will be based on equal share for each partner.” While Greaves said all municipalities are on board, at the June 17 meeting, Coun. Jerry Flynn (Carleton Place Deputy Mayor) indicated Carleton Place may be re-thinking its involvement. “...I think you’ll find that we’re not going to participate in Carleton Place. We don’t like the numbers and based on the information, I would want more guarantees,” he said. “...It’s a big commitment as far as I’m concerned.” “This is news to me here tonight, since you approved your involvement last fall,” Greaves noted, saying that if Carleton Place backs out, there will be more costs to the other municipalities. “The general consensus (among Carleton Place council) is it wouldn’t be a bad idea for someone to come to council to discuss it further,” Flynn added, noting there are insurance and inverter replacement concerns. Mississippi Mills is submitting their own microFIT applications and Coun. Jane Torrance (Missis-
sippi Mills councillor) believed it could be a good thing. “We (Mississippi Mills) have seven sites at $2,500 each...we’re quite happy to participate in both because we think they are good programs and promote green energy,” she said. The per kilowatt pricing for
the FIT 4.0 program hasn’t yet been announced and won’t be until the contracts are rewarded. The ball first got rolling on the project after Drummond/ North Elmsley’s building inspector Shawn Merriman initiated the conversation in 2014 with the county to see if there
was interest. Once the applications are filed, the next step will be to formalize agreements between the partnering municipalities with “the idea being we’re all in this together...and it doesn’t matter where the successful contracts are,” Greaves stated.
Mississippi Mills residents showed their Canadian pride on Canada Day, enjoying a classic car show along Mill Street in Almonte. Many of the street’s shops were open and the Almonte Civitan Club offered a barbecue. Ashley Kulp/ METROLAND

County signs new paramedic agreement Almonte General Hospital (AGH) will continue to operate the Lanark County Paramedic Service (LCPS) for another five years. Following discussion at the June 17 Lanark County corporate services committee meeting, county council approved a bylaw authorizing the agreement at its June 24 meeting, which will come into effect Jan. 1, 2016. The contract is from 2016 to 2020 and AGH has been operating the LCPS since 2000, when the province downloaded land ambulance services to municipalities. The county handles purchasing the ambulances, managing the leases of their five ambulance bays and reporting finances to the province. “...Day-to-day operations and labour relations are looked after through them (AGH) and the staff are actually employees of AGH,” explained Lanark County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves. The big change to this contract is the annual fee, which has increased by $36,000. “The contract is based on cost recovery for the hospital. The annual fee in the renewal is $142,000 with annual increases of Consumer Price Index (CPI),” Greaves explained in his report. “This is an increase in 2016 of $36,000 per year. This increase is shared 50/50 with the province and the
county’s portion is nine per cent shared with the Town of Smiths Falls.” Greaves presented three options for county council to consider: renew the contract with AGH, search for a new partner to operate the LCPS or the county could take over and directly manage the service. He recommended the first option, citing a good working relationship with AGH and how cost effective it is. “I don’t think we could do this (for the price) anyway. To get this for $150,000 a year, I think is a bargain,” remarked Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith Deputy Reeve). However, Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place Mayor) wondered if that should be explored further. “Do we know that we can’t do it any cheaper? Is it staff’s position that we cannot provide that service?” he asked. Greaves said it’s possible the county could take it over, but they wouldn’t get the discount they currently receive. “The great thing you have to remember is that we do cost share 50/50 with the province, so we’re really only paying $70,000 (a year),” he explained. “We wouldn’t get that 50/50 split if we did it on our own.” “In my opinion, I can do the math pretty easily and in a quick analysis, we couldn’t do it any cheaper,” Greaves continued. “And they (AGH) do have the medical expertise and we don’t. To me, that’s a
big consideration.” Communications infrastructure agreement Also discussed at the June 17 corporate services committee meeting, was the proposed 10-year agreement for radio fire communications infrastructure with Christie & Walther Communications, beginning in 2016. This would include site rental and a service agreement as Lanark County owns the radio system equipment. Lanark County’s emergency management co-ordinator, Rick Hannah, said staff had begun discussions with Christie & Walther in February for the renewal. Christie & Walther put forward a bid of $878,284, which includes the service and site rental agreements. Looking for a significant increase, Christie & Walther representatives met with Greaves and deputy clerk Leslie Drynan in the spring. “...The CAO suggested that the extension of the agreements, site rental and service agreement, would be beneficial to Lanark County if a fixed rate, based on the Consumer Price Index, for years six through ten could be arranged,” Hannah indicated in his report to council. “Joseph Hickey, general manager, has agreed that a CPI rate could be included in the agreement for the additional five years.” Council endorsed a bylaw to enter into the agreement, which will provide service through to 2026.

Charity golf tournament scores big for CDSBEO students The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) hosted the eighth annual Good Samaritan Trust Fund (GSTF) Golf Tournament on June 30, at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. The tournament raised more than $29,500 to help CDSBEO students in need. Established in 2007, the Good Samaritan Trust Fund offers financial support to board students and their families. The fund offers provisions in situations which cannot be remedied by organizations such as food banks, snow suit funds, or breakfast clubs. It fills a support void which is not defined or restricted to one specific need. Director of Education William J. Gartland, expressed his thanks to tournament supporters. “This tournament is our primary fundraiser for this important cause. It is essential for us to be able to provide this unique support system for our students, and their families, and we thank everyone for being here today,” he said. The CDSBEO would like to

While 2014 was a good year, financially, for Lanark County, auditor Howard Allan believes more consideration needs to be made for long-term planning. Allan, of Allan Chartered Accountant Professional Corporation, provided a report on the 2014 yearend audited financial statements during the June 17 Lanark County corporate services committee meeting. They were officially endorsed by county council at its June 24 session. “Overall on the balance sheet, it shows that the county, event with long-term debt in excess of $10 million, is now in a net financial asset position of almost $5 million,” he stated. “If you look at all the indicators that the province has set out, the county is in a great position.” With a population of 56,689 in the county (28,470 households), the 2014 budget was $70 million, which is a “critical piece of the process.” More than $6 million was spent on capital projects, about $4 million less than what was forecasted, but Allan noted that was mainly due to the public works garage that was in the budget but didn’t get done. One area he said needs some work
is planning for the replacement of capital assets. In 2014, Allan estimated Lanark County’s assets depreciated from their original cost by approximately 48 per cent, but he did point out that county operations had a surplus in the range of $950,000 after depreciation. “So how much have we really set aside for the replacement of these assets?” he questioned. “Only about 13 per cent of what has been depreciated...In the long run, you want to have more prudent financial management. But I know the county is forward thinking and in general, the books and finances in the county are in good shape.” Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place Mayor) asked how the county factors in those kinds of numbers. “What most municipalities do is have an asset management plan... that’s how you build that in,” Allan answered. County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves noted Lanark County currently had a debt of $10 million. “If we didn’t borrow anything in the next 10 years, it would all be paid off,” he said. The county’s finance department have taken Allan’s advice in his report and are in the process of implementing several long-term financial planning tools.

So much for patience
ow many of us have honked the horn when the driver of the vehicle directly ahead fails to hit the gas within two seconds of the light changing red? Or perhaps passed on the shoulder when a car is waiting to make a left turn and there might only be one vehicle coming from the opposite direction? How about cutting through a gas station or commercial parking lot at an intersection rather than taking the extra few seconds to stop on a red and then turn right? This scribe is certainly guilty on counts one and three, not to mention a few other examples of wanting to save a few seconds of travel time. Maybe all of those timesavers added up over the course of many years could produce a tangible result in terms of gas money. In reality, though, it’s an indication of just how impatient many of us are as we go about our daily
routines. Why do we get so frustrated by something that, in the grand scheme of things, is so trivial? We’d rather take decisive and possibly questionable action demonstrating poor judgement as drivers than to have to wait for a few seconds for the inevitable to happen. Is it naïve to suggest that things did not seem to be so rushed and so contentious behind the wheel that many years ago? Some of us who have laid into our car horns or been honked at for no legitimate reason are starting to wonder if maybe there is something to what they say about patience being a virtue. If we – including this scribe – are willing to consider adopting aggressive driving practices for the sake of a few seconds that really add nothing to our lives, then it might be time to reflect on what we are doing.

Father at the washbasin on the bench beside the back door. A small wood framed mirror hung rakishly from a nail, and Father's razor strap was right beside it. Tommy and Father shared the basin of hot water and the mirror, but for Father that is where his hospitality ended. No one was allowed to use his razor strap...not even Tommy Rohr. And so poor Tommy would use a whit stone to sharpen his black handled razor about once a week. But alas, the whit stone did little to keep the blade keen enough for a clean shave. I liked to stand beside Tommy in the mornings and watch this ritual of his shaving beside Father. There was never a word spoken between the two men. This was serious business...this

Tommy on the other hand, after lathering his face with the homemade bar of soap and not having had the benefit of the strap, would take much longer. I would stand there entranced as Tommy dragged the dull razor over his cheeks. It seemed
to take forever to complete one sweep and I silently wondered if men shaved differently because they came from England. Father would finish, swish off his razor in the basin of hot See MARY page 9

The REAL Deal Reuse Store in Smiths Falls is extending its hours and creating more opportunities to keep good materials out of area landfills. For seven years, the store has been open only Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “We knew this was difficult for many of our donors and customers, and potential donors and customers,” said executive director Susan Brandum. About 10 per cent of the 40,000 donors and customers to the store come from Ottawa and further away. “We’ve built the operation to a point that we could look at expanding our services, so we conducted a survey and are now delivering on what people said they wanted,” said Brandum.

After Tommy had made several slow and calculated sweeps, I would see little pinheads of blood appear. And every time that happened, Tommy would lean into the mirror and look as if he had never laid eyes on his own face before in his life. I was so fascinated I wouldn’t have moved from the spot if the house caught on fire. And every time he sprung a leak (as my brother Emerson took to calling his razor nicks), Tommy would stop shaving, tear a smidgen of newspaper off a page he had at the ready, and carefully place it over the wound. By the time he was finished shaving, his

whom Senators, feeling unloved and unappreciated, can take their ruffled feathers and proclaim their innocence. They’re all as pure as the driven snow, and just didn’t know any better. Where is the authority for senior Senators, coincidentally under suspicion themselves in the Auditor-General’s report, simply to decide to hire an arbitrator and charge it to us? “I am satisfied,” Binnie stated recently, “that this procedure is independent, fair and impartial.” Well, we’re not, and we don’t want to pay him. What would it take for angry Canadians to be able to stand their ground for a change, and say to the Senators: “You’re the ones who want the arbitrator, not us. Pay him yourselves, like any of us (would) have to do.” Stephen Harper’s failure to achieve his promise of Senate reform has been epic. Canadians have
Close to 300 people responded, half online and half in the store, saying they wanted the store to be open Sunday afternoons, later on Fridays and for another complete day on Wednesdays. New hours effective this week are Thursday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. The REAL Deal is a project of the Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL), a 26-year-old local environmental non-profit organization and charity. The store is a social enterprise and is intended to keep good materials from going into landfill, to generate some revenue for the organization and its other projects, and to provide good volunteer opportunities and skills training for local people.
“We’re currently diverting 40 tonnes (90,000 lbs) a year of regular materials, and another 40 tonnes of electronic waste,” said Brandum. “We have two paid staff positions, and an amazing group of volunteers. We could not function without either of those. In fact, we can’t open on the Wednesday until we get more volunteers.” If anyone would like to join in on the fun at the REAL Deal, simply drop into the store and ask to speak to a manager, or go online to REALAction.ca. In another step to enhancing its services, the REAL Deal has hired a second manager, Steve Rawlings, as manager of renovation materials. Rawlings’ name may be familiar to many as, until recently, he was the
face looked like lace tablecloth, with all these little pieces of paper stuck to his cheeks. All the time he would be cursing the razor. By that time Father would be settled in at the head of the table digging into his fried potatoes and salt pork. And every time he saw Tommy take another piece out of his face, Father would wince and screw up his face as he himself had been inflicted. Well, this went on for ages after Tommy had become part of our household. And finally Father made a gesture that was completely against his principles. He thought a man’s razor strap was as personal as his long underwear. No one touched it but the man to whom it belonged. But one day Father could stand it no longer. There stood Tommy in front of the mirror after a particularly torturous morning of lacerations with
these dabs of newspaper stuck all over his face. Father rose from his breakfast, went to Tommy, took the razor from his hands, rinsed it off, and began slapping it up and down on the strap. I thought he was going to take it from its moorings. He handed it back to Tommy and said, “Now let’s hope that’s the last of the wounding. I guess you’ll have to use the strap instead of the whit stone. Can’t have you bleeding to death every morning.” It was the end of my fascination with Tommy and his daily shaves. And it was the start of a new relationship between him and my Father. After all, now they shared a razor strap! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

been appalled at the extent to which they’ve been abused, and angered at the way Mike Duffy’s defence lawyer justifies every abuse, with logic as fragile as a spider’s web, as “Senate business.” Of course, he reasons, taxpayers should pay for Duffy (and his wife) to attend the funeral in PEI of a good friend of his mother’s, justifiably charged to taxpayers because the deceased was a descendent of one of the Fathers of Confederation. Give. Us. A. Break. In conclusion, Bill C-518 (which would deprive convicted parliamentarians of their gold-plated pensions) has been in the Senate since February, and must receive royal assent before the end of June or it will die – all that work for nothing. It would be great if, just for a few days, Senators took their minds off their own sorry mess and concentrated on royal assent for Bill C-518. Just a little nod to the rest of us. Tonia Kelly Perth

Lanark County Paramedic Service chief reports positive first half of 2015 Ashley Kulp
akulp@perfprint.ca
The Lanark County Paramedic Service continues to put measures in place for the safety of its residents. Chief Ed McPherson provided the LCPS’ latest three-month report to the county’s corporate services committee on June 17. He said the service has been operating “pretty well” over the last three months and provided some insight into its activities. “We’re under budget as of the end of May and that’s never happened to me before, so things are looking really good this quarter,” McPherson noted. He indicated that the Ebola virus outbreak is something the LCPS continues to monitor. “(Ebola) is still the big issue we’re facing after there was a new respiratory outbreak in Korea...but I think we’ll be
pretty good based on all of the (measures) we’ve been doing for Ebola.” The paramedic service is also preparing to get involved in a program called Road to Mental Readiness (R2MR), used by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and currently being adopted by police service organizations. According to the CAF website (www.forces.gc.ca), “R2MR is designed to ensure that the most appropriate training is provided when required to ensure CAF personnel are prepared mentally for the challenges they may encounter. The overall goal of this training is to improve short-term performance and long-term mental health outcomes.” McPherson also talked about the advances with Code4Armour, a waterproof battery-free wearable alert. “It’s the new Medic Alert bracelet, that’s a rubberized electronic bracelet
that replaces the metal ones,” he explained. Then, by downloading the Code4Armour app on your smartphone, tablet or computer, simply by tapping the bracelet to the device, a person’s emergency medical information can be immediately accessed. McPherson said it is being promoted among the senior population. Thirteen paramedics have also voluntarily completed the Autonomous Intravenous program. “Our medics are volunteering, which is good for us because it allows us to reach a higher level of care,” McPherson stated. The strain on paramedics recently decreased thanks to county council, who authorized the purchase of Stryker power stretchers for ambulances. “All of our paramedics love the county councillors now since you bought us the new power stretchers,” McPherson
Explore endless activities at three unique conservation areas Now that the school year has ended, the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) is encouraging families to discover its three historically significant natural areas in the Mississippi Valley watershed this summer. “Purdon, Mill of Kintail and Morris Island Conservation Areas are conveniently located a short drive from the city and are open to the public at little or no cost,” said Shannon Gutoskie, MVCA community relations co-ordinator. “Mississippi Valley provides the public access to these conserved lands and recreational opportunities while promoting respect of the water and the environment.” The Showy Lady’s Slipper orchids that draw thousands of visitors to Purdon Conservation Area every year are at their peak. Stroll along the fully ac-
cessible boardwalk for an up close view of the flowers, Joe Purdon’s legacy; enjoy birding along this rare fen wetland and see endangered species regenerating such as the tree-kissing woodpecker and butternut trees; or, challenge yourself on selfguided hikes through a hardwood forest. With its sold out summer camp and highly anticipated weekly Tea on the Lawn hosted by the Ramsay Women’s Institute, the Mill of Kintail promises to be a hub of activity all summer long. Participate in handson workshops; discover the life and times of Dr. R. Tait McKenzie and Dr. James Naismith at the grist mill museum; shoot some hoops on the fully accessible basketball court; and, get some exercise with a hike on the forest trails and fitness route. Take a break from the ev-
eryday hustle and bustle and refresh your mind at Morris Island Conservation Area. This 47-hectare site near the community of Fitzroy Harbour consists of forested woodlands and wetlands that will appeal to nature enthusiasts of all ages for dayuse recreational activities such as hiking, picnicking, canoeing, fishing and natural interpretation. MVCA is one of 36 Conservation Authorities in Ontario. Formed in 1968, MVCA’s mandate is to manage the watershed’s resources in partnership with our eleven member municipalities and the Province of Ontario.

Federal money available for milestone celebration Canada 150 funding is now available to groups and communities, according to Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown. The Government of Canada is inviting Canadians to get involved in the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Confederation. “Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017 is set to be an exceptional year for Canadians and their country,” Brown stated in a release. “It will be a rare op-
portunity to reflect and deepen our sense of what it means to be Canadian and inspire a new era of optimism and pride across the country, for a Canada that is Strong, Proud and Free.” Leading up to and during 2017, Canadians are being encouraged to give back to their community and their country in ways that will have a lasting effect on Canadian life for generations to come. For more information about
the federal government’s plans and vision for the 150th anniversary of Confederation and how residents of Leeds-Grenville can play a role in the celebrations, visit Canada.ca/150. The site also includes information about the Canada 150 winning logo and how to apply for funding to celebrate this important milestone for the country.

remarked. “The medics think they’ve died and gone to heaven.” He stated that Lanark County is the envy of many paramedic services, including Renfrew and Ottawa, who don’t yet used power stretchers. “Last week, paramedics used a stretcher to
lift a 350-pound patient and all they had to do was just push a button,” he said. “This is going to be the next big thing.” The service is improving its fleet as well, with three being replaced this year and another three in 2016 and a checkerboard pattern is now being utilized on
ambulances, instead of the former orange stripes. “Studies were done and with the orange stripes, your brain turns off, but the checkerboard pattern keeps flashing back and forth so people will concentrate on what they’re seeing,” McPherson explained.
Pay tax installments or bear the cost Manage Your Money
You may have received a reminder notice from the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) indicating that you should make a quarterly tax installment. It is important to make these payments on time because ignoring the notice may be costly. You may have to make tax installments if you received or earned any income that is not subject to withholding at source, such as business or investment income and/or if you received or earned income with a low rate of withholding at source, such as pension income and your net tax owing is greater than $3,000 in 2015 and either 2014 or 2013. The CRA determines if you must pay installments based on your tax returns from prior years and will send you a reminder notice to make these payments – in February for the March and June payments and in August for the September and December payments. If you receive a reminder notice but you do not comply you may be subject to interest and penalty charges. For the 2015 taxation year, the CRA will base your first two installments on your 2013 tax liability with the final two being adjusted so the total of the four installments equals your 2014 tax liability. This calculation method can result in an overpayment of tax if, for example, your income has decreased over the past two taxation years. If you overpay, you will earn installment credit interest that is not refundable and can be used only against interest payment charges on late payments for the same tax year. (Check with your advisor or accountant before making a payment to see if your installments should be reduced.)

If you do not make your payments on time or paid less than you had to pay, you will be charged instalment interest at the prescribed interest rate compounded daily (currently at 5% which is subject to quarterly adjustments) with the interest calculated on each installment paymentbeginning from the day it was due. You may also have to pay a penalty (if your installment interest charges for 2015 are more than $1,000). The amount of the penalty is determined by which of the following amounts is higher: • $1,000 or • 25% of the instalment interest you would have to pay if you had not made installment payments. To calculate the penalty, the CRA subtracts the higher amount from your actual installment interest charges for 2015 and divides the difference by two. The cost of not making your installment payments can be substantial – it may even make sense to borrow to pay the installments. But don’t rush into another unnecessary expense especially if you know your income is decreasing. Talk to your professional advisor about the best tax planning and investment decisions for you.

Exploring nature from the water on Clayton Lake and Indian River Cliff Bennett
On an excellent Sunday morning, June 14, 20 members of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) took to the waters of Clayton Lake and the upper section of the Indian River in canoes and kayaks to explore nature on MVFN’s annual spring paddle. Led by MVFN president Cliff Bennett, the flotilla of 13 craft, seven canoes and six kayaks, meandered along the west side of the lake to Command Bridge on Galbraith Road in Lanark Highlands. Squeezing under the bridge, the group paddled easily up the Indian River, almost to the bridge at Halls Mills, but was stopped by a beaver dam. After exploring the beaver dam and its construction, the paddlers returned to Clayton Lake, where they discovered a mature bald eagle, perched on a low bit of scrub on a minute island. The eagle watched cautiously as the flotilla passed by at a respectful distance and decided it wasn’t worth the bother to take off. Other birds of interest recorded by compiler Mary Robinson included two American bitterns in flight, an osprey scanning the surface looking for a fish, an Eastern wood-pewee and a winter wren in melodious rhapsody. In the distance a loon called mournfully, probably looking for its partner. Thirty-four species were counted in all. The list of birds seen is posted on MVFN’s website. A brace of four painted turtles were found sunning on a log and a few dragonflies were picking off mosquitoes along the marsh plants. Freshly emerging wild rice was plentiful and several clumps of Northern blue flags were spotted along the marshy shore. Yellow pond lilies and fragrant white lilies were just beginning to burst forth. After a lengthy paddle across Clayton Lake, all craft were beached at Howard and Mary Robinson’s lake front home for enjoyment of lunch and refreshments. The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists have organized canoe/kayak trips throughout Lanark County and area for

Reflecting on my interview with John Kenneth Galbraith Have you ever been involved in a conversation during which people started to name drop? Maybe it’s because I have spent my entire working life in the media. But it has happened to me on many occasions. Recently my wife and I were attending a gathering when the subject of “famous people” popped up. Some of those in attendance engaged in a conversation about celebrities – musicians, actors, politicians – they had seen or met during their lifetimes. The catalyst for the discussion was that several of those involved had attended the recent Shania Twain concert in west Ottawa. No question that on the scale of worldwide recognition, Shania Twain is very high when it comes to Canadian-born performers. Her incredible success in the country music business has made her a household name, not only in this country but around the world. Her rise from a humble upbringing to international stardom is a well-known part of the singer’s personal story. There are many other Canadian-born celebrities of course. But it is probable that, with the possible exception of Quebec-born diva Céline Dion, Twain who grew up in Timmins, Ontario is the best known female songstress from this country currently active. Oh yes, I always enjoy trivia so here is a little something for you about Shania. Her name at birth was Eilleen Regina Edwards. Remember, Regina derives from a Latin word meaning ‘Queen.’ In her case that is very fitting. She’s certainly the country music queen having sold more recordings than any other female singer in country music history. Hers is a real life rags to riches story. A name very worthy of being dropped. I didn’t drop any names during that particular conversation because I didn’t want to sound like I was trying to outdo anyone. If I had wanted to I could have dropped plenty of names. One of my first “celebrity sightings” came during a visit to Expo 67, the World’s Fair held in Montreal in 1967 Canada’s Centennial year. I was just 15 and in the company of my maternal grandmother and uncle. We saw Jacqueline Kennedy as she emerged from a tour of the American Pavilion at Expo. She didn’t become Jacqueline KennedyOnassis until the following year. I remember that many in the crowd of spectators called out “Jackie, Jackie,” as she left the pavilion and was escorted to a waiting limousine. Her presence had quickly circulated among the large crowd. Jackie was even more radiant and beautiful in person than in the photos and videos I had seen of her on so many occasions during her marriage to the late American President John F. Kennedy. He was assassinated just four years earlier. Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to meet and on some occasions interview many people from the world of entertainment and politics. Not all of them were worth meeting to be honest. Memorable interview
Reflections By Jeff maguire
I have met Canadian Prime Ministers including John Diefenbaker, Joe Clark and Brian Mulroney. I was fortunate enough to interview Clark and also Mulroney’s wife Mila during separate visits to Carleton Place. Enough with the name dropping! But that same recent conversation reminded me of an interview I did with a well-known person that will always stand out as a highlight of my newspaper career. I had just joined the newsroom staff at the daily St. Thomas Times-Journal in St. Thomas, Ontario. St. Thomas, a city of some 40,000 south of London, is the centre of government for Elgin County, an elongated jurisdiction of some 1,840 square kilometres that hugs the north shore of Lake Erie between Fort Erie and Windsor. It was 1971 and I was a wet-behindthe-ears reporter who had just moved to the larger daily newspaper from the smaller (twice-weekly) Wallaceburg News in the town of the same name between Sarnia and Chatham. The city editor was a happy-go-lucky guy named Richard ‘Dick’ Wright. He is long retired and lives in Southampton, Ontario on Lake Huron. Dick had connections to Chatham where my late mother Molly and my wife Kathleen (Kathy was my girlfriend in 1971) were both born. He took me under his wing and helped “protect me” from the managing editor an English ex-
patriate who was, to say the least, not an easy man to work for. One thing Dick did for fledgling reporters was make sure we got a square meal as often as possible. The best way to ensure that was to send us to lunch meetings held by the local service clubs. We covered the guest speaker’s address and got a free lunch. On this particular day the managing editor had a great deal of interest in the St. Thomas Rotary Club’s weekly lunch meeting. That’s because the guest speaker was world-famous economist John Kenneth Galbraith. The boss would have preferred a more senior staffer covered the Galbraith speech, but no one else was available that day. He had no choice but to send the rookie. Dick told him, “Jeff will do just fine.” I didn’t need any added incentive. I was already familiar with Galbraith who, to this day nine years after his death, remains one of the most highly regarded economists in world history. He was a best-selling author. Galbraith penned nearly 50 books along with several novels and hundreds of essays. He authored a famous trilogy on economics ‘American Capitalism’ (written the year I was born), ‘The Affluent Society’ (1958) and ‘The New Industrial State’ which was released in 1967. Galbraith earned degrees from the University of Toronto and the University of California, Berkeley before starting his teaching career at famous Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1934. Later he briefly taught at Princeton University in New Jersey. But his longest tenure as an educator was at Harvard where he was named Professor of Economics in 1949 and was a highly respected faculty member for half a century. Galbraith was an active Democrat.
He served in the administrations of four presidents including Franklin D. Roosevelt (during the critical Second World War years), as well as assisting Roosevelt’s successor Harry Truman and then serving in the Kennedy administration as well as working for Lyndon Johnson who succeeded the assassinated JFK. Galbraith was the American ambassador to India during Kennedy’s all too brief tenure. The list of national and international awards the economist received is lengthy. Canadian-born So, why was he speaking in St. Thomas, Ontario in 1971? The answer is easy. Galbraith was born in nearby Iona Station in 1908. He grew up in Dunwich Township near the village of Dutton (now part of Dutton/ Dunwich) in Elgin County. He attended a one-room school and later received his secondary school education in Dutton and St. Thomas. Galbraith became an American citizen in 1937, the same year he married Catherine Merriam Atwater, a Radcliffe grad. The couple was married for 68 years until his death in April 2006 at age 97. He never forgot his southwestern Ontario roots. That’s why he came to St. Thomas in 1971 at the invitation of the Rotary Club. His speech was not focused on his outstanding careers as an educator, author and political advisor to four American presidents. Instead he talked about his formative years. What it was like to grow up on the family farm in rural Dunwich Township. That’s all he wanted to talk about during the interview I did with him afterwards as well. Galbraith was impressive physically – he was six foot, eight – but what I re-
call was his very kind demeanour while speaking with a young reporter. He had been interviewed countless times by scribes from the world’s largest newspapers. But his friendly smile and attitude immediately put me at ease. In his 1963 book ‘The Scotch’ Galbraith, whose parents Archibald and Sarah were Canadians of Scottish descent, wrote about growing up in a part of Canada that was more Scottish than Scotland. I remember him telling me how tight the community was – in every sense. The Scots of course are not only famous for their contributions to the world but also for their frugality. Galbraith laughed when he said his neighbours “were as tight as bark to a tree.” In fact in ‘The Scotch’ he recounts the legend of one John “Codfish” McKillop of Dunwich Township. It is said that when McKillop died and was being lowered into the grave he lifted the lid of the coffin and handed out his clothes. What I remember most about that long ago interview with the famous man was his obvious affection for the place where he was born, raised and attended school. He had such vivid and fond memories of those who were part of his early life. Despite his impressive career and status (he won countless awards and honours in his lifetime) he never forgot his upbringing and happy home life. That’s why I will never forget my interview with John Kenneth Galbraith. In conclusion this week I’m happy to say that my hard to please managing editor was silently satisfied with the story I produced for the T-J. Dick Wright was good enough to tell me that later!

ily and is well suited to be with children and other pets. Garfield and Latisha Garfield and Latisha, in conversation: Pssst Latisha, Garfield here…tell me, why are you still here? I heard you’re the longest feline guest of LAWS. You’re here since April 2014? Twothousand and fourteen, can you believe that? I think you’re such a pretty black lady and although you’re a bit shy you’re very friendly. You’ve been a good mom to your kittens I was told. They must be the same size as you are by now. What are you saying? People come to adopt cute kittens first these days? It’s not fair isn’t it? Why not us? You like me too? Thanks! You think I’m a handsome orange tabby tom cat. You’re so kind. You like the cute black spot on my nose? Meet these two sisters of Makes me special doesn’t it? about eight-months-old, apriWhat can we do to be adopted cot and white, who arrived at the shelter, very sick, in February. Until recently they were living in a foster home where they were socialized as well as nurtured back to good health. The two sisters can and do act quite independently of each other. They may be adopted together or as a pair.
This week’s featured pets Bonnie Bonnie, a large Belgian Sheepdog mix, arrived on June 9 as a stray from Blakeney Road in Mississippi Mills. Bonnie, who was sprayed by a skunk, was dropped off by an animal control officer. The dog attendants gave Bonnie a nice bath, which she enjoyed, and she was sent to the vet for an examination. Sadly, nobody claimed Bonnie who is very outgoing, happy and alert. Since her arrival she has lost some weight as was recommended by the veterinarian. Bonnie, about nine-yearsold, is in good health and ready to be adopted. She will make a next? Should we dance, purr or welcome addition to any fam- groom our shiny fur? How old are you? About three? I think I am five-years-old. We don’t want to get old in this place, do we? Okay okay, I know, it’s warm and cozy here, the food and care is good, but…I would rather have a family of my own. Glad you would too. Well, let’s just wait and see who goes home next, it might be you or maybe me.
Venus On the last day of April this year Venus arrived at LAWS with three kittens. She was a good mom to her offspring who long have found good homes. Venus, a young black and white female cat, is extremely social, affectionate and sweet. She’s looking forward to be chosen into a cat-loving home soon. Lily and Delilah

OPP underlines importance of ATV safety on roadways The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), East Region continue to be concerned with the injuries and deaths related to all terrain vehicle (ATV) usage and people failing to obey the laws concerning their use on highways. So far this year, a 25-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy have been killed in off-road vehicle collisions. There have been personal injury collisions involving drivers and passengers ranging from 10 to 22 years of age. OPP officers, patrolling in Bancroft and Napanee recently, stopped 15-yearolds operating ATVs on the highway, teen driver’s not wearing helmets and three people riding on an ATV which included a four-yearold passenger wearing a bike helmet not approved for ATV use. Please use approved helmets at all times while operating ATV’s. Recent crashes prove that off-road vehicles can be extremely dangerous if not used in a safe and responsible manner. Some of the other rules that apply to ATVs operated on approved roads: • Approved helmets must be worn and securely fastened • The ATV is designed for the driver only and passengers are not allowed on roads If operating on an approved roadway: • Roadway speed limit is
50 km/hr or less – the speed limit for ATVs is 20 km/hr • Roadway speed limit is over 50 km/hr – the speed limit for ATVs is 50 km/hr • Head lights and tail lights must be on at all times • The operator must follow all the rules of the road, such as signaling all movements • Brake lights are required on all ATVs manufactured after 1998 • ATVs must have four wheels and steering handle bars • ATVs can only be operated on the shoulder of approved roads and may only use the traveled portion of the road if the shoulder is not there or obstructed • An Off-Road Vehicle licence plate must be displayed and not obstructed on the rear of the ATV • A driver’s minimum G2 or M2 drivers licence is required to operate on an approved roadway • There are many more rules that ATVs must obey on roadways and they can be found on the internet under www.e-laws.gov.on.ca. Look under the Highway Traffic Act, Ontario Regulation 316/03 and the Off Road Vehicles Act for full details. Off-road vehicle safety Off-road vehicles (ORV) include: ATVs, dirt bikes, Argos, Rhinos, Gators, Mules, and all similar ve-
hicles) • Always wear an approved helmet and make sure it is securely fastened. • Never operate an ORV while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. • Read the instruction manual and follow manufacturer’s recommendations, i.e. obey warning
labels and stickers on the ATV • One person ORVs are not designed for passengers and it is dangerous to operate a one person ORV with a passenger. • ORV head lights are generally not as bright as car lights and operators should not over drive their head lights at night.
• Speed should be adjusted to varying terrain conditions • Check with the local municipal office or police to ensure what roads are approved. Generally off-road vehicles are prohibited on maintained roads unless the province or municipality has passed a by-law approving the

ther to his long-lost offspring. “I know not what I shall think of that!” asides the son, in as close to a Groucho Marx moment as the Bard gets. Shakespeare created one of his greatest female characters for this play: Portia, who calls herself “an unschooled girl”, but who has to wisdom to conceive of one of Shakespeare’s most famous speeches: “The quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven.” But she also has a sense of humour. “How like you the German prince?” asks a servant. “Very vilely in the morning, when he is sober and most vilely in the afternoon, when he is drunk,” she replies. To be a suitor for Portia’s hand (and her immense wealth) takes a special kind of man – and not many of those ever apply. The Merchant of Venice is a play full of wonderful words, great fun, controversy, thought and music. It has three chests of treasure, three suitors for

Perth’s BarnDoor Productions are returning to their long tradition of summer classics this month with William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. After a June production of a modern, two-person comedy about a soap-opera actor that had audiences laughing and crying at the same time, Perth’s original community theatre will close off their 20th anniversary season with one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time. The play remains controversial and challenging, even 420 years after it was written. Controversial, because it treated with bigotry and feminism long before they were even subjects to be thought of; challenging, because the answers it gives to those questions are not the easy and glib answers we expect. To put the play in perspective, the England that William Shakespeare grew up in was one in which not one person of the Jewish faith lived. Expelled in 1290, it was a century or more after Shakespeare’s time before Jewish people began to come back to Britain. Portrayals of Jews in plays prior to The Merchant of Venice had been very one-dimensional – and extremely racist. But, young William Shakespeare, in 1595 or 1596, created the character of Shylock, a man filled with both virtues and faults, who both sins and is sinned against. In other words, Shylock is a human being. Shakespeare gives him one of the most telling speeches in all of classic literature: “Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew ears? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you poison us, do we not die?” But Shakespeare does not leave it there; he turns it one more twist. “If you wrong us, do we not revenge?” And Shylock becomes a full human being. All of that is very deeply philosophical, but the play is also full of fun. As always, Shakespeare plays on language and words, has fun with situations and characters and even adds a few pratfalls for good measure. “I cannot think you are my son,” says an aged fa-

Remaking of Terminator timeline a brilliant move MOVIE: Terminator Genisys STARRING:Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jai Courtney, Emilia Clarke and Jason Clarke DIRECTOR: Alan Taylor RATING: 14A Time travel is messy. Attempting to follow the twisting trails and infinite loops that come from changing the past can leave a person dumbfounded. Though as a plot device it offers some interesting possibilities. Defeated by the resistance Skynet sends a terminator back in time to kill John Conner’s (Jason Clarke) mother. John knew this day would come just like he knew who he’d have to send to save his mother. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) volunteers without hesitation.
Just as Kyle is about to be thrown back in time he sees John get attacked. Then Kyle finds himself in a Los Angeles alley in 1984. He also finds a T-1000 (Byung-hun Lee) waiting for him. Something isn’t right, but Kyle doesn’t have time to think about it as he runs for his life. Fortunately Sarah Conner (Emilia Clarke) shows up with a T-800 she calls Pops (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to save him. It seems the tables have turned as Sarah and Pops have already dealt with the T-800 sent to kill Sarah. Confused by the changes Kyle is forced to adapt quickly to this new reality. After dealing with the T-1000 Sarah shows Kyle the time machine her and Pops have built. They plan
My Take
Mark haskins
to go to 1997 to stop Skynet before it comes online. Kyle agrees to the plan, but not the date. Kyle has memories of an alternate timeline. According to those memories they need to go to 2017. In 2017 Skynet is a new operating system called Genisys. Sarah, Kyle and Pops only have a few days to stop it before it goes online and in-
fects everything, but Skynet is not unprotected. There’s another terminator guarding Genisys. John Conner has been turned into a terminator and sent back in time to ensure Skynet comes online. Terminator Genisys is a sequel and a re-make. It’s confusing, but that’s time travel for you. The term re-make usually means an updated version of an older film. In the case of Terminator Genisys it means going back in time, and completely re-working the entire Terminator universe. It’s a brilliant move because it allowed director Alan Taylor to do something new while still respecting the films that came before. I can’t imagine these films without Arnold Schwarzenegger, and while
1984 was some time ago Arnold still delivers the goods as the unstoppable killing machine. Jai Courtney has all the right tools as an action star. Jason Clarke was great as both the good and evil John Conner. Emilia Clarke probably had the biggest shoes to fill, but she nailed Sarah Conner. I also have to mention J.K. Simmons who plays a police officer who was there in 1984, and is still there in 2017 obsessed with time travelling robots. He delivers the best lines in the film. Terminator Genisys has all the action, special effects and spectacle you expect from a summer blockbuster, and all the killer robots you expect from Terminator. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

I wonder how many people have met the comparatively new shrub called Honeyberry. The University of Saskatchewan began breeding honeyberries in 2002 using the line from Russia Japan and the Kunl Islands, and they produced a fruit that is sweeter and superior in taste to many other Honeyberry varieties on the market. The berries are also larger and more easily detached from the plant. Interestingly they belong to the honeysuckle family. They are ideal for our climate being hardy
-55°F and the blossoms can withstand 20°F. The early blooming varieties bear fruit before strawberries and the later blooming varieties a few weeks later they will grew in most soils in a wide range of pH levels, unlike blueberries. Some varieties can grew up to eight feet high and about four feet across. The flavor of honey berries is very hard to describe, it may be best to just say it’s a mystery berry reminding some people of blackberries cherries or even grape. The berries are small and oval, with a very thin skin and

Despite threats of thunderstorms, this year’s Champions for Kids Foundation (C4K) golf tournament did not disappoint. More than $50,000 was raised at the eighth annual tournament – the biggest C4K fundraiser of the year. This amount was raised through registration fees, sponsorships and funds generated through a silent auction at the event. This year’s tournament, held June 30 at the Upper Canada Golf Course in Morrisburg, saw more than 130 participants who enjoyed 18 holes of golf, a barbecue lunch and a prime rib dinner. Co-chairs Kelty Grant and Rick Gales were thrilled with the amount raised. “The support of the UCDSB community is unbelievable!” said Grant. “We are overwhelmed by the positive response from the sponsors, golfers and volunteers. It is amazing to be an integral part of a community that cares, and we are proud to have made a difference.” “It is the sponsors, players and volunteers who support the foundation that make this event happen,” said Gales. “Each year we ask people to help out and they are always there to support the foundation. “The generosity of the people and organizations in Upper Canada is tremendous. They are called upon by many different groups and they find a way of helping as much as they can. It is very gratifying to live in a community where people matter.” The tournament’s winning foursome included event newcomers Travis Brennan, Mitchell Grange, Pat Lindsay and Phil Nihmey with a score of 53.

Facts about alcohol In Ontario, the estimated cost of substance abuse is $9.2 billion per year in health care, law enforcement, and lost productivity. Alcohol use alone accounts for approximately half of these costs. Addressing alcohol misuse in the workplace will help to prevent alcohol related problems such as: accidents and injuries; hangovers and withdrawals; absenteeism and illness; as well as loss of production. Some studies, including a 2001 report from the Alcohol Policey Network, have shown it may not be the chronic drinker who is contributing to the majority of these alcohol related problems, but the occasional drinker who engages in risky drinking away from the workplace.

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is pleased to announce new resources for a healthy workplace. Workplaces can take part in the Rethink Your Drinking campaign to help change the way we think about alcohol use. The campaign is not asking adults to stop drinking, instead we hope it encourages individuals to look at their relationship with alcohol, like why, when, and how much they drink. This summer, workplaces can contact the health unit for the following resources: • The new Substance Misuse Workplace tool kit • A display banner for a common room or lobby • An interactive display on standard drinks and binge drinking • Canada’s Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines pamphlets • Staff giveaways

musical” and “a new play,” wording that seems almost unreal given the stature such plays and musicals have since taken on. “Yes, it’s hard to imagine in the musical genre a world in which there was a ‘before Oliver the musical,’” Black says of his favourite show, one he has directed, performed in (as Fagan), and enjoyed on stages from the Great White Way to remote high school gymnasiums. “My father and I saw the original production of Oliver, with Davey Jones and Clive Revell playing Fagan, and my dad told me that I was better at it than Revell. It was the greatest compliment he ever paid me.” While Black is the proud owner of original programs for shows like Equus and Annie, he admits to a preference for musicals. “I saw one of the original productions of My Fair Lady after the cast recording had come out, so I was familiar with the music and the songs, but when I sat there in the third row on opening night, it was like my album coming to life when the orchestra started playing, such an amazing sensation.” Black and his wife moved back to Canada a dozen years ago, and “we just plunked ourselves down in Perth,” where they have lived ever since. A natural-born raconteur with a vivid memory and wicked sense of humour, Black enjoys going over old memories with his extensive Playbill collection. A leftover from his US years is a passion for baseball and, while it might not be popular to admit in these parts, he is an ardent Yankees fan. The Playbill collection or Derek Black will be on display July 10 to Aug. 30 at the Festival, available for viewing during the main stage shows (Neil Simon’s comedy Barefoot in the Park and Frederick Knott’s thriller Wait Until Dark). Those shows run eight times a week, Wednesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., with 8 p.m. shows Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. The 2015 season is presented with the support of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization. Additional festival programming includes the Perth through the Ages theatrical historic walking tour (Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m.) and The Lonely Ghosts Walk, Friday nights at 8 p.m. beginning July 10. Tickets are available at classictheatre. ca or by calling 1-877-283-1283. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival.

Anyone who’s ever enjoyed a Broadway show knows the tradition of receiving a program known as Playbill, a wraparound publication with showspecific pages, theatre trivia, articles, cast biographies, and the trademark yellow banner on a front page that has featured some of the most iconic theatre stars of the last 125 years. Thanks to the generosity of Perth resident and passionate theatre fan Derek Black, visitors to this summer’s Classic Theatre Festival (which opens July 10 at 54 Beckwith Street East) will be able to enjoy both covers and content from Playbills he’s collected over the past six decades. First published in 1884 in New York City, Playbill’s circulation of four million reaches audiences in the Big Apple as well as regional theatres across the United States. With an online vault cataloguing thousands of shows, Playbill is an instant history of moments, performers, composers, and backstage crews whose labours might otherwise be lost to the vicissitudes of time. As part of the Classic Theatre Festival’s annual theatre history exhibit, audiences will see covers for the legendary comedy Harvey with James Stewart and Helen Hayes, Beyond the Fringe (with the late Dudley Moore among others on the cover), the original production of Oliver (with a pre-Monkees Davey Jones as the Artful Dodger), and Sunrise at Campobello (a show about Franklin Roosevelt starring Ralph Bellamy). For New Brunswick-born Black, his goal in the 1950s was to move to New York City, take in the bright lights of Broadway, and become an actor. A fan of 1950s superstar James Dean, Black was determined to apply at Dean’s alma mater, Lee Strasberg’s Actors Studio, but recounts that he did not give it enough of a chance. “I thought I should get a job first,” Black recalls, and while his profession (teaching history, including the creation of a then-new Canadian history course for New Jersey students) did not involve greasepaint and footlights, there was certainly a performative aspect to standing in front of a group of students on a daily basis. Although acting did not work out, Black remained a passionate theatregoer, seeing some of the original productions of Broadway musicals such as My Fair Lady, The King and I, Oliver, Grease, and Equus. On some of the programs he has donated to the Classic Theatre Festival, such now-renowned shows are introduced as “a new

A community post box, like this one in Port Elmsley, Drummond/North Elmsley Township, will soon be coming to a Perth neighbourhood near you.
Community post boxes to be phased in over next 12 months in Perth, Tay Valley Desmond Devoy & Stacey Roy desmond.devoy@metroland.com & sroy@perfprint.ca
Community mailboxes are on their way to Perth over the next 12 months. Barring a change in the government after the Oct. 19 federal election, doorto-door mail delivery will stop once Canada Post selects, and constructs, the new boxes. Perth Mayor John Fenik confirmed that he and chief administrative officer John deRosenroll had met with repre-
sentatives of Canada Post in the past few weeks, and “Canada Post has the right to put this on municipal property,” he told town council at its meeting on June 30. Canada Post will be using Perth’s GIS system to plot the best places to locate the boxes, as laws dictate that they need to be certain footage away from utility poles and intersections. “The big question is, where?” asked Fenik. However, Fenik hastened to add

that businesses in the downtown core will continue to receive hand-delivered mail, and “there are also provisions for shut-ins.” Fenik said he appreciated the Crown corporation’s position since mail delivery is “dropping like a stone. It’s no longer a corporation of letter delivery. It’s a corporation of parcel delivery… The future in profits will be in package delivery.” He half-joked that “I think drone delivery stuff is cool.”
The paving overlay for Gore Street, expected to be carried out this summer, will be delayed. Miller Group won the contract and it was supposed to be carried out at the end of June and July in two installments. However, it was brought to council’s attention at their meeting on Tuesday, June 23, that these paving dates “will cause hardship,” said Coun. Judy Brown. The Downtown Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA) received more than 30 pieces of correspondence from interested parties saying that the low-scale paving would prove to be a major hindrance during the busy summer shopping months, in the midst of the high tourist season, and in the run up to back-to-school shopping at the end of August, so they were requesting that the paving “be done after Labour Day.” About $6,500 would need to be paid to the Miller Group in order to cover the cost of moving the equipment from their deployment in southern Ontario at that time in the early fall. “Is there any way of doing it (the paving) at night?” wondered Coun. Ed McPherson. “It’s a daytime activity,” said environmental services director Grant Machan, who went on to explain that this was necessary because “it is such a thin layer (of material being sprayed) and it is highly visual.” He added that the paving had been scheduled for a Sunday. Mayor John Fenik stated that, when normal paving is done on a street, where possible, everything is dug up and taken care of while the street is dug up, from gas
to hydro lines, “so we can do a complete rebuild. That is what we traditionally do.” However, the infrastructure underneath Gore Street East “is in excellent shape,” and so there is no need to dig it up. “It is a micro abrasion. It is done at a walking pace.” At $6,500, to save the summer shopping period was something that Fenik said he considered to be “worth it.” “Nobody wants to lose business,” said Coun. Jim Boldt. “It’s hard enough to get business.” Boldt said that it was also a good idea because there are that many merchants that are “concerned about it.” Brown pointed out that, in the four days of lost business, the amount of money a business loses could pay “the rent for that month.” Deputy Mayor John Gemmell noted that the $6,500 was “still within the contingency plan,” and Coun. Riq Turner, himself a small businessman, agreed “a day or two can make or break things… This is a good move.” McPherson requested that the downtown business should be able to tell the town which days work best for the paving: “Let’s let the business people decide.” But Fenik was quick to counter, “I don’t think it’s as easy as a tailor-made day.” Brown said that, in her discussions with the business community, “any day post-Labour Day would be better.” As for the $6,500 price tag for moving the equipment, Coun. Jim Graff said that while at a first glance, the amount may seem to be “a lot of money just to move equipment,” upon closer inspection, “it’s a fairly decent price…This decision sets a good standard to our business community that we help when we can.”

CLUB
From front page
Wings owner McLean had told council during a presentation earlier this year that the money raised from the club would be used to fund boys and girls minor hockey in Perth and Lanark Highlands. McLean said he was surprised and disappointed in the end result. “I was especially disappointed in the fact that Mayor Fenik, councillors Brown and McPherson voted against the motion - after earlier supporting the idea in principal,” McLean said. Councillors Jim Boldt and Jim Graff and Deputy Mayor John Gemmell voted in favour of the club. Coun. Riq Turner was not present for the vote, but may have declared a conflict of interest and abstained from voting, as he did during a previous council gathering, as he is employed by the Blue Wings, which would not have altered the vote results. “I admire Mr. McLean and all he has done,” said Brown in her remarks. She commended him for “taking initiative.” However, one of her overriding concerns, when reading the report on the matter, was that it mentioned “reducing the threat of litigation,” arising from the onus placed on the owners of establishments where alcohol is served to make sure that their customers do not drink and drive. She also said she was concerned about the “increased use of alcohol
in close proximity (to) our youth.” Brown also said she found it darkly ironic that that evening’s council agenda also included a motion for this year’s RIDE program. Graff said that he appreciated Brown’s concerns, but noted, “The people who will be serving will be trained,” and that McLean had already taken on millions of dollars in insurance. “We don’t want to see an increase in drunk driving,” said Graff. “(But) I feel confident” in the proposal that this would not be the case. “There isn’t anything that is 100 per cent fool proof.” Back in the 1980s, Boldt said he was involved with the Kanata Sports Club, which ran an operation similar to the one McLean was proposing, which raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was then put back into amateur sports. Boldt admitted that “the more we make it available, the more people will do it,” but added, “we’re all adults.” McPherson pointed out, “We don’t hold receptions (with alcohol) in town hall,” without special permits being granted, and that “when there are young children… (present) we should reduce the amount of alcohol served.” Like Boldt, McPherson had also visited the Kanata Sports Club and other similar venues, but his recollection of that time was a little different. “I prefer to keep sports and alcohol separate,” said McPherson. He re-
membered, during his coaching days, parents “being drunk while their kids were out on the ice,” and that “some of the most difficult times in coaching,” came from seeing parents drunk at the rink. After the council meeting, Fenik himself commended McLean for having “done an amazing job with the Blue Wings team. He is thinking in the right direction.” But he admitted that, with this vote, “he is not going to be happy,” but reiterated his position that, in “publicly owned assets, alcohol should not be served. I feel that serving alcohol in the community centre is not the way to go.” He also said he was alive to the concerns of nearby bars and restaurants who may feel that the sports club may offer unfair competition on game days. “We have lots of great pubs and restaurants where people can go and have a drink,” Fenik said. “We don’t want to be in competition with them.” He did suggest that McLean could try “a high end coffee or juice bar,” instead of a more pub-style environment. Fenik said that he had “thought about it quite a bit, but I made my decision literally after hearing councillors McPherson and Brown speak.” See Blue Wings owner Michael McLean’s response to council’s decision on page P15.

writing.” The New Democratic Party has promised to roll back the ending of door-to-door mail delivery, and, as the NDP candidate for Lanark-FrontenacKingston, Fenik, shifting gears, said “I do not think we should be going this way. We need to put people to work. By implementing this community box program, we are not doing this.” Homeowners will be the most impacted by this change, as the downtown core, condos, apartment buildings and seniors homes where lobby delivery is already in place. Canada Post encourages residents to always dispose of their mail at home as some of it has personal information. Past experience of placing a recycling bin by the community mailbox resulted in misuse with some boxes being lit on fire while others collected dog excrement rather than paper recycling. Canada Post has created various methods for members of the public to provide feedback to the corporation on proposed box sites and the overall service, adding they are willing to work with individuals who have a disability or medical requirement to receive mail at home. Those who wish to provide feedback can do so online at canadapost.ca, or by calling 1-844-454-3009.
From page P1
Anick Lorier, Canada Post spokesperson confirmed that residents will receive an information kit by mail next week from the corporation. Part of it will be information about community mailboxes and the other will be a survey. “I highly encourage everybody to fill it out,” Lorier said. The surveys are being used by Canada Post to refine site locations for the community mailboxes. Between now and next summer Canada Post plans to work with the community on site locations. After the surveys have been received Canada Post will draft locations for the sites and will send letters to affected residents confirming the proposed site reflects their concerns in a positive way. Then they will knock on the door of select residents who live next to the boxes to gather their feedback. “We’ve actually changed or modified close to 20 per cent of sites in this process. We want to make sure that ultimately these are the best possible sites,” Lorier said. On a more serious note, when asked if there would be any jobs lost amongst local postal employees, Fenik replied: “I don’t know. I don’t have any idea. That was first and foremost in my mind.” With people now receiving hundreds of emails a day, getting a hand-written Why community mailboxes or word processed letter “kind of does Amidst the unfolding process of ingrab your attention,” he said. There was stallation, many residents may be asking a time when “there was an art to letter why go through the bother of moving to

The postie will soon go the way of the milk delivery man, the ice delivery man, and the typewriter repair guy. community mailboxes. Canada Post’s position is they must in order to remain profitable. Lorier noted that the delivery of letters has gone down steadily over the years from 5 billion delivered in 2006 to 3.5 billion delivered in 2014. “It’s a drop that’s continuing. It’s a change that we must do in order to ensure our future,” Lorier said. She notes letter delivery makes up 50 per cent of Canada Post’s revenue with door-to-door delivery costing 2.5 times as much as other delivery modes. Mike Palecek, national president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) challenges this mindset, saying the corporation’s projected losses haven’t materialized. In fact, a press release dated May 21, 2015 from Canada Posts notes the corporation earned $24
million in profit in just the first quarter of this year. “We don’t see there’s any justification for the cuts. The truth is they’re doing whatever they feel like,” Palecek said. The corporation’s press release does state: “no regular full-time or part-time employee will lose their jobs as a result of the initiative,” which some construe as removing the unnecessary positions by not replacing retiring staff or those who find work elsewhere. The Perth Courier has learned that Canada Post must take this stance as the letter carrier’s contract has a no layoff clause, but Palecek points out this contract expires in January 2016. “The reality is we fully expect them to go after our job security provisions in our collective agreement when it expires
in January,” Palecek said. The union is currently working to prepare for negotiations, expecting this round to be very challenging. Regardless of this outcome, the scope of work carriers do will change. Palecek said Canada Post is restructuring routes to reflect the reduced need for carriers in the same geographic area once community mailboxes are introduced. Palecek anticipates this restructuring will mean larger geographic routes for carriers, but they are continuing their fight to save door-to-door delivery through educational vehicles like savecanadapost.ca. The union is also working to make the community mailboxes an election issue this fall when Members of Parliament hit the campaign trail in hopes of being re-elected. “If you want to stop Canada Post cuts you have to stop Harper,” Palecek said. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and MP Scott Reid both voted to eliminate door-to-door service, according to the CUPW website. In contrast, Palecek notes all opposition parties have confirmed their commitment to either place a moratorium on this transition until further consultation is done (Liberal Party), or completely scrap the plans and restore door-to-door delivery for those who lost it (NDP). “I think we’re seeing resistance. I think it’s going to be evident on Oct. 19, 2015,” Palecek said. Lorier said once the transition to community boxes is complete the corporation will save $5 million a year.

Stewart Park Festival trumpets eclectic line-up at 25th anniversary show desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Sandy Irvin wastes no time launching into her cantankerous old woman impression. “Back in my day, we sampled off of records!” she thunders, in mock indignation, followed by laughter bouncing off of the stone walls of Perth town hall. The manager of the Stewart Park Festival is sitting in the staff boardroom, a sheet listing the main stage acts in front of her. She is pointing down at the listing for My Son The Hurricane, a “crazy 14-piece, funky brass band.” “Instead of sampling, all of their shots are live horn shots,” she said during an interview on Monday, July 6. The band may be brass, but the front-man, Jacob Bergsma, is a hip-hop singer, and they hail from St. Catharines, Ont. “One does not think (that) wild hip-hop comes out of St. Catharines,” she joked, but then, inspiration does flow from wherever fertile artistic ground can be found. While that band may be from the Niagara region, more locallygrown talent will also be up on stage from July 17 to 19. “Henry Norwood found a hole
in his baseball schedule,” said Irvin, as he is a late addition to the main stage at 3 p.m. on Friday, July 17. “I have to admire a young man with that much dedication to his team so as to not leave them in the lurch.” Kelly Prescott, who follows Norwood on the main stage at 4 p.m. that same day, is even closer to Irvin’s family – she used to babysit her son. “I’ve been thrilled to see her grow up,” said Irvin. She added that she was glad to get a hold of Prescott since she is in Nashville for a good half of the year, “carrying on the family business.” Another local player will be Peter Brown from Carleton Place, “carrying the local jazz flag high. We’re trying to have more local talent on the stage,” said Irvin, following up on complaints from attendees that there are too many out-of-town bands on the roster. There are several venues this year, including the Wendy Laut River Stage near Mill Street, the main stage at Market Square, between the Tay and the bandshell behind town hall, the Crystal Palace and the Studio Theatre. The expanded performance space at the Crystal Palace was something Irvin said she had heard people wanted more.
There will also be crossing guards in front of town hall on Saturday to accommodate the walkers trying to scramble across one of Perth’s busiest streets. While all of the venues are within walking distance, there will be a shuttle bus for people driving in to Perth, or those not wanting to look for hard-to-find parking downtown. There will be a shuttle bus that will pick up drivers who park in the Giant Tiger parking lot on Highway 7, and will be dropped off at town hall, 80 Gore St. E. The Martin’s Bus Service “party bus,” will then go onwards to Algonquin College at 7 Craig St., before ending up at Last Duel Park, before returning on its circuit. “We had some very upset patrons last year when the shuttle stopped at 9 p.m.,” she recalled. This year, the shuttle will run until 11:30 p.m. At the river stage is where the workshops are held and “mixing bands together…that’s when the magic happens.” Last year, local musician Brock Zeman “blew all of the other performers away,” on that very stage. “They just had these huge grins. This guy is so good.” To which she replied, “He’s ours!” While the stages will be jump-
ing, Irvin expects the crowd to get up and dance too, with AfroColombian dancing classes are part of the routine by the Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 18. “People in Perth love to dance,” she said. A new beverage that may well get your taste buds dancing is the festival’s very own Stewart Park Festival Beer, brewed by the Perth Brewing Company. “I am not a beer expert, but I quite liked it,” she said of her sampling of the brew, which will be available on tap at the Crystal Palace, Mex and Co., and The Stone Cellar during the festival. While there will be beer for the adults, there will also be plenty on tap, so to speak, for the kids, at the Studio Theatre. Rock the Arts from Carp is a puppet revue, coming off of a Canadian tour, and will perform on Saturday, July 18 at 2 p.m. Al Simmons, “a legend in Canadian children’s performing,” will also be on stage, July 19, at 2 p.m. “At a certain age, it’s peeyour-pants funny,” said Irvin of Simmons’ act. Other acts may not be as funny, but they are as talented. Singer Catherine MacLellan plays the main stage at 7 p.m. on Friday,
July 17, and she is the daughter of Gene MacLellan, who wrote the lyrics to Anne Murray’s most famous song, “Snowbird.” Earlier on Friday, at 5 p.m., Irvin calls Maneli Jamal “a treat,” and “guitar candy.” “He is mind-blowing, just fantastic,” said Irvin of Jamal’s talents as a “really gifted guitarist.” Meanwhile, Manitoba’s Sweet Alibi, which plays at 6 p.m. on Friday, “can go from three-part harmony to sounding like Adele in a heartbeat.” The Mexican group Quique Escamilla is the final performing group at the festival, at 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 19, and they are described as mixing traditional Mexican music with ska reggae. “It’s an amazing array of talents for a small town festival,” said Irvin. While the festival had experimented with a preview performance on the Thursday night before the festival’s start last year, at St. Paul’s United Church, “it was a big draw on our resources,” and will not be repeated this year, though the show itself was well received. Beyond the music, you can also nurture your soul at the festival. The community labyrinth will be returning to Stewart Park
for the festival, and there will likely be a candlelit welcome on the Saturday night for that. Stewart Park has been a hot topic of conversation at the Perth town council table for the past few weeks, but not because of anything directly to do with music, but rather because of the effect the festival has on the grass. “That’s a lot of feet (when) you run 10,000 people through,” said Irvin. But the feet are “surprisingly low impact,” and it is actually the stages and the footpaths that do most of the damage. While restorative work will be done to the grass later on this summer, the festival faces a more immediate threat to attendance from a most unlikely source – Weird Al Yankovich’s performance at Ottawa Bluesfest on Sunday afternoon. “I’ve had a lot of our regular volunteers say, ‘Sorry, I just can’t come in then,’” because they have tickets to see the musical parody jester. “He (Yankovich) was big in the 1980s, and all of these Generation Xers now have enough money to go see him.” While Weird Al may be busy on LeBreton Flats back in Perth, “we offer a really intimate experience by comparison is Bluesfest.”
Kingston Show & Shine to ride on another year The Kingston Show N Shine got its start in 2008 as a last-minute event geared to a small group of motorcycle enthusiasts. Organizers were astounded when it attracted a huge number of participants and viewers. From that first event the Show N Shine has grown exponentially every year. A major milestone was achieved in 2012 when organizers honored the Olympians of Special Olympics Ontario, and the event has raised funds and awareness for countless charities and organizations ever since the first show. “We have strongly believed that bringing motorcyclists and charities together has proven to be very successful,” says organizer Guy Paquette. “Show N Shine has become a yearly tradition of fundraising by motorcycling enthusiasts for charities and causes.”
“This year we are honoring the Fallen Heroes and Wounded Warriors of Military, Police, Fire and Ambulance, who knowingly and willingly work hard every day to protect our lives.” On their behalf, Show N Shine is donating the proceeds of the 2015 show to Almost Home, a non-profit organization which provides a place of comfort and respite for families whose children are receiving medical treatment in Kingston area hospitals. The event is free and open to all public to view, with the expectation that visitors will make a donation to the selected charity. To be held on July 25th from noon to 5 p.m., the family friendly event includes a custom bike display of all types, sizes and brands, plus a variety of shows, including Jason Thorne Freestyle Motocross and the Ontario Provincial Police Golden Helmets
Motorcycle Precision Team. “In addition to the motorcycle displays, we also host lots of unique and interesting vendors, delicious food and live music performances throughout the day,” says Mr. Paquette. “In fact, for the first time this year we are extending the festivities to include a wrap-up party with Jack Astors starting at 8 p.m., during which we will announce the winner of the annual motorcycle raffle.” Another draw for motorcycle enthusiasts, and especially Sons of Anarchy Fans, is the custom-designed

tank depicting Tommy Flanagan, otherwise known as Chibs and Mark Boone Jr., more widely known as Bobby. The tank has been signed by both of the men and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with proceeds going to Almost Home Kingston. “Two mottos that we began using since day one, which are often duplicated by other groups, are ‘Ride For a Reason – Ride For a Cause’ and ‘Bikers Care’,” Mr. Paquette explains. “These truly sum up in a nutshell what we endeavor to accomplish every year. Show N Shine 100 percent not for profit and is solely supported by donations and sponsors every year.” He adds that in the past some shows have seen more than 7000 motorcyclists and motorcycle lovers, but the numbers are always anticipated to grow each year moving forward.

Summer food is not fluffy
I
am eating like an idiot. (Warning: Gratuitous use of unnecessary capitalization ahead.) Here’s a little story. In my Magical Fairy Land, Summer is a time of light and fluffy food. There is fruit. There are vegetables. And that’s about it. All of these wonderfully fresh and clean and chopped items magically appear in front of me whenever I am hungry and I eat them and I never gain an ounce and everything is wonderful in magical Fairy Land. Interestingly, Magical Fairy Land really does exist. Sort of. The only thing is there has to be an actual Magical Fairy to prepare the fluffy fruits and vegetables. That Magical Fairy is named Will Power. Y’all remember Will Power, right? The superhero of the mind, who resists all enablers and convinces whoever lives in Magical Fairy Land to do Everything Good and Right and Then Nothing Bad Ever Happens? And by “bad” I mean there is no weight gain and we always exercise when we are supposed to and our clothes always fit and we eat our fruit and veggies like champions and thusly we feel awesome and wonderful always and forever. Okay. So regular readers may recall that in my Magical Fairy Land, Will Power is pretty hit and miss. There is another hero, though, named George BlackBerry: Executive Assistant. George is a consistent player because the person who lives in Magical Fairy Land (me) is completely addicted to her phone and barely leaves it out of her sight. George is programmed with a wonderful app called Weight Watchers. George and Weight Watchers work together to help the resident of Magical Fairy Land (me) to behave. Together, these fearless heroes present information in a logical way and provide opportunities to enter data and play a little math game called Points Tracking. See, different food is worth different points and the game is to not exceed the number of points you are allotted in a day. The cool thing is, you can earn extra points by exercising – and that includes vacuuming! The best part is the aforementioned fruits and vegetables are worth zero points, which means you can tank up on as much of them as you want, feel full and happy, and still have points for other stuff – like a piece of pie! Why am I talking about this? It’s

because George and Weight Watchers helped me lose 35 pounds, but it is slowly creeping back because I have gotten lazy and I’m not playing the tracking game and Will Power is gone and the enablers are bringing home ice cream and chips. I think we all know that, really, summer is not filled with fluffy food. It’s about barbecues and s’mores and rest stops with convenience stores (chocolate). I recently met a group of men and women who are doing a Weight Watchers program at their workplace, and hearing their success stories and incentives reinforced in me what I already know: You’ve got to stick with the lifestyle changes you made to lose the weight in the first place. That means George and I will be bonding over our Weight Watchers tracking again. It also means I will get back into the habit of having prepared fruit and veggies in the fridge for snacking. I shall chastise myself severely about those nasty bedtime munchies because I really don’t need to tank up in order to go to sleep. And there will be more exercise. And there will be snarky reminders provided to the enablers to hide the non-fluffy food. (I am skilled at leaving bad snacks on the grocery store shelves, but if it shows up in the house it’s game over. See “Will Power,” above.) On the weekend we visited a friend in Montreal. It involved much eating in restaurants, and I ate like the aforementioned idiot. The beautiful thing about Weight Watchers is you can still eat what you want – in moderation. Make choices. So, the day you eat the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and home fries should also be the same day you walk up Mont Royal and back. Just sayin’. (By the way, the day you do that walk up a steep hill should also be the day you remember to pack your running shoes and orthotics. Thank you, ice packs.) Summer has just begun and there are random s’mores to navigate in Magical Fairy Land, but I’m ready.

Good customer service is a prize
ll too often we are quick to judge. I wish I didn’t lose my cool so often with my kids – even when they’re driving me nuts. And I’ve written before about crappy customer service I’ve received, as recently as this past May. Everyone has their horror stories. In my job, I too deal with the public – and, yes, I feel for people who get dumped on for doing their job. Losing your mind on me is not going to make me better. It’s going to make me resent you, and will not spur me on to greater things. Even the singer Art Garfunkel, in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph this past May, said that he too wished he could keep his cool with incompetence, though he knows, in the grand scheme of things, they are trivial. He said that he gave his son the advice: “Be kind to people. I’m working on that…one myself, because I’m not always kind. I’m judgmental and picky. When I order room service and they get it wrong I try so hard to be kind and I fail. ‘But I only asked for three things! How could you get one wrong?’ Or the taxi driver:
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says ‘How can this be hard? Listen to the address and take me there. Don’t you care about your job?’” Even in The Holy Bible, we are told in James 1:19, “You should be quick to listen and slow to speak or to get angry.” Proverbs 14:29 is a little more blunt (at least the Contemporary English Version): “It’s smart to be patient, but it’s stupid to lose your temper.” It is drilled into the bright young minds that fill our nation’s business schools that people are more apt to tell all and sundry about bad customer service experiences than good ones. A 2011 poll conducted by American Express’ Global Customer Service Barometer, which spoke to customers in the United States and nine other countries, found that seven out of 10 Americans surveyed were willing to spend as much

as 13 per cent more with companies they believe will provide excellent customer service. The survey also found that “an average of nine people (tell) about good experiences, and nearly twice as many – 16 people – about poor ones.” In an article posted on the Retail Customer Service website, Jim Bush, American Express’ World Service executive vice president, said that “getting service right is more than just a nice to do – it’s a must do.” This pretty much reinforces every customer service training video you ever had to watch – minus the cheesy 80s music and graphics. But I want to change that – with this column anyway. For all of the complaints I have made about customer service, there is a lot of good that goes on – especially close to home. This past June, my wife and I decided to take a risk and take our daughters, Michaela, 5, and Loughlin, 2 this month, out to Matty O’Shea’s Pub and Restaurant in Smiths Falls.

COLUMN From page P8
It’s sometimes a hit-and-miss proposition as to whether one, or both, will behave, and if we will have to bail on the meal, as we did on occasion during a visit to Huntsville this spring when one of the girls would “go nuclear,” as we say. But we need to keep trying, and exposing them to it, if we ever want them to get used to using good manners and eating in public. We arrived and, thankfully, had the place to ourselves, and the girls were quite well behaved. My girls seem to like places with character, like O’Shea’s and The Cookhouse Saloon in Dwight, Ont., with enough old fashioned sports memorabilia and Route 66-type nostalgia on the walls to keep their eyes entertained until the food arrived – like my John Candy Burger (yes, made with Canadian bacon, a culinary highlight of my Muskoka trip!) At O’Shea’s, the waitress was a delight. Michaela noted how that nice lady kept coming to check up on us, but here was the best part. A customer came in to pick up some takeout food. She had a cane and the waitress offered to take the food out to her car, and then held the
door open for the lady. It gets better. At the end of the meal, the girls were given Rice Krispy Squares. Big ones at that. They just died for them. She explained that they had tried ice cream with kids but that the squares were a bigger hit, and less messy too. And – a blessing for parents – if the kids didn’t eat them right there, unlike ice cream, which melts, the parents could save the treat and use it for the child’s lunch the next day. For that reason, and because the food was exceptionally good, I will be back. One of the most impressive parts of good salesmanship I have seen is when a store does not try to sell you things. In banks now, tellers are being pushed by management to sell credit cards that customers may not need, because of the commission that they get from the sales. I purchased an iPhone 4 at the Rogers outlet at the Cataraqui Centre in Kingston in 2014. I wanted to get a carrying case to go along with it. The sales lady had one type left in stock, and placed my new device in it. She shook the case gently, and I could hear the iPhone flopping around inside.
“This isn’t what you need,” she said. The case was clearly too big for the phone. She didn’t want to sell me something that wasn’t right for what I needed, and, remarkably, I left without a carrying case. A similar incident happened at Mark’s Cobbler Shop on Gore Street East in Perth several years ago. I brought in some winter boots to be repaired. The cobbler behind the counter took one look at my boots, and the repair work that needed to be done on the side zipper alone, and told me straight out that it would actually cost more to repair than it would be to just buy a new pair of boots. I was a little taken aback by the honesty in both cases, but, was also glad. Repeat business is important, and that honesty made me want to come back again, knowing that I would get straight service that cared about me as a customer, not just as a sale. Even when I am getting bad service from a company, there are bright lights. A certain internet/telephone/ wireless provider, who shall remain nameless, was trying to win back my business. A very lovely gentleman called me up and tried to entice me back into the fold with some good
offers. Weeks before, the company in question had gotten its records mixed up with another account – a delinquent one, no less – and promptly wanted to know why Mr. Smith (clearly a pseudonym) did not feel that he needed to pay his bill, and when could they expect payment. Upon being told that there was no such person at this number and address, they refused to believe that they could be wrong. And they wondered why I left. Back to the kind Indian gentleman: I told him of what had happened, and he apologized most profusely. It’s not your fault, I replied. In fact, I had actually quite enjoyed our conversation – it’s not often that one can say that about a soliciting cold call – even if I had no intention of going back. “If I knew that I would be dealing with you, and only you, I would most certainly come back,” I said. “But the problem is, for every one nice call I get from someone like you, I get two nasty calls accusing me of things I didn’t do, and making me feel rotten.” He knew the score. And that is why we need more people like my Indian friend, the Matty O’Shea’s waitress, the Rogers attendant,
and the Perth cobbler. With our economy filling up with more and more service sector jobs, paying them a decent wage to attract good staff, seeing them as more than just an easily replicable cog in the wheel, will pay dividends for any company that invests in its staff, down the road.

Rivington makes a hole in one When you’re 13 years old, you may not have accomplished much on a life-long bucket list. But Jonathan Rivington managed to stroke one item off that list when he made a hole in one at the Perth Golf Course last week. The teenager got in on the number three. If you know the course at all, you’d agree it’s a short distance, but hitting the ball over the river and hitting onto a sloped green doesn’t make it an easy mark. Jonathan started playing golf two years ago and it’s his second year as a Perth Golf Course member. I bet he’s been getting some major respect at both the junior and regular clubhouse. Congrats, Jonathan! Shuffling Locations If you’re wondering why painters have turned the former Giant Tiger location’s sunny yellow building to a deep blue, it’s because the NAPA brand will soon call the building home. Currently located across the road from the former Giant Tiger building, NAPA will move locations once the building renovations are complete. Thanks to my source on that bit of information. RibFest Coming to Perth
The Rotary Club of Perth has been busy getting prepared for its first annual RibFest. Taking place at the Perth Fairgrounds, the Perth RibFest will run from Aug. 21-23. Jeff Dean has been a part of the planning CATHY JAMES committee, and they’ve worked hard to make this fundraising event a reality. The weekend not only sounds delicious, but the funds raised will go back into the community. Ribbers come to town to showcase their best creations and the grounds will also include musical performances, a car show and more. Did I mention it’ll be delicious? Learn more at perthribfest.com.

From signs to solar panels, businesses get green light at council Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
“I have some hesitation with approving exceptions,” said Brown.
Perth town council has given its permission for the Tweedsmuir housing development’s granite welcome sign to stand. “I don’t see an issue myself,” said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell during the Tuesday, June 30 town council meeting, when council voted to allow the sign to remain at the entranceway to developer Brent Brownlee’s new subdivision. “I admire Mr. Brownlee and all he is doing… We know he is an honourable man,” said Coun. Judy Brown. “This is not a garish sign.” She did however put forward the concern that “when we make exceptions, people may think we are showing favouritism,” since, by his own admission, Brownlee told council on June 23 that his company had erected the sign before getting final approval from town hall.
Solar panels After weeks of spirited discussion about allowing solar panels on town-owned property like the pool, arena, and Darou Farm, council passed, by a five-to-one vote, allowing Leo Adams Investments, located at 40 Sunset Blvd., to develop rooftop solar deployments for its joint FIT (FeedIn Tariff) application with the Solar Power Network. The deadline for applications is this coming Monday, July 13, to be filed with the Independent Electricity System Operator. “I’m not particularly in favour of governments getting involved in this,” said Coun. Jim Graff. “But this is a benefit for him (Adams). This is a private business and Mr. Adams clearly sees a benefit as far as added income coming in.”

Keep air conditioning in your vehicle running smoothly this summer With summer travel season upon us a few tips and reminders on vehicle airconditioning may help make your warmweather touring more pleasant. Fortunately automakers seem to be doing a better job on designing and building AC systems leading to fewer breakdowns and repairs. But even the best-built system is prone to the odd glitch. If you start up the vacation chariot, flip on the AC and it blows warm air only, chances are excellent that it’s developed a leak and has lost all of its refrigerant gas. Repair stations are prohibited by law from recharging a vehicle AC system that’s leaking due to the ozone-depleting capability of the gas. Recharging a leaking system is a waste of money anyway because if the leak isn’t repaired, the gas will quickly leak out again (usually within hours or less). DIY recharge and seal kits should be avoided like the plague. First the sealant that’s contained in these kits can quickly gum up and damage a professional recharge station’s system (if you do have to take the vehicle into the shop after installing the sealant) and repairing this equipment is very expensive. Secondly, the refrigerant gas these kits contain is a butane derivative and very flammable. When you consider that one of the first components to be damaged in a front-end collision is the AC condenser (that radiator type unit mounted in front of the engine cooling
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
rad), having it filled with a flammable gas is not a smart idea. If the AC just seems to be running a little warmer than you remember from last season, you can do your own check with a thermometer placed in the centre dash vents. On a warm day with the outside temps in the mid to high 20s (Celsius), the dash vent temperature should read between 5 and 10 degrees after the AC has been running for 10 or 15 minutes with the vehicle not parked in heavy direct sunlight. For maximum cooling when you first get in a sun-heated vehicle, set the AC on the max setting with the fan speed dialed in a setting below the highest and open the rear windows slightly when you drive off. If your vehicle has a sunroof, popping this open will help get the hot air out faster. Keeping the fan off the highest speed setting gives the air more contact time with the AC coil under the dash, bringing the temps down faster. If you haven’t driven an AC equipped vehicle recently, remember these systems have a condensation drain that will drip water that exits the vehicle usually
just inwards and to the rear of the right front wheels. This is perfectly normal in hot humid weather. If this drain becomes plugged (and sometimes it happens) your front seat passenger may be in for an icy surprise to their feet when you turn a corner and the water comes spilling out of the drain pan. If this happens, don’t delay in getting the drain fixed because the water can damage wiring and electronics as well as causing a moldy smell from the soaked carpet and under-pad. There’s a quick hack you can use to move some of the hot air out of a parked vehicle before getting in. Open one of the front doors and swing the opposite door open and almost closed several times in succession. The door you’re swinging will act as a fan pushing the hot air out through the open door on the other side. On Saturday, July 11, the 11th annual Carp Show ‘n’ Shine lands at the Carp Fairgrounds from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. This one is open to cars, trucks, tractors and antique snowmobiles.

1968 Jaguar XKE Coupe in Jaguar Racing Green resides near Kingston Cecil Harnden is a retired businessman who lives with his wife Corinne on a lake just north of Kingston, Ont. He has always had a passion for sports cars that have a lot of curb appeal. “I’m not a collector by any stretch of the imagination,” says Cecil, “but if I see a car that really grabs me, I’ve got to make it mine.” Such was the case a few years ago. “I was in Performance Imports in Kingston having some work done on the windshield wipers of another one of my old beauties. While I was waiting, I found myself wandering aimlessly into their showroom and lo and behold, there sat this gorgeous Jaguar. Low and sleek with a shape that Enzo Ferrari himself once called ‘the best designed car ever built.’ I had to have that Jag, no question about it.” It turned out that the car was the property of the car dealership’s owner and was only in the showroom for display purposes and wasn’t for sale. “After some pathetic begging I was told I could buy the car and get up off my knees, the begging was over, much to everyone’s relief.” The car was in excellent condition: a 4.2 litre V-6 engine burning regular fuel and managed by a quiet 4-speed automatic transmission. The drive train was fine but Cecil was unhappy with a couple of things: “The seats were in great shape, original black
leather, but the carpeting had to be replaced. I knew a guy in Belleville who had done one of my other car’s flooring for me. Once again, he did a great job.” To reduce cockpit road noise and engine heat, Cecil had a reducing material installed covering the entire floor and transmission hump. “It’s made a great difference,” says the new owner. The biggest change was the paint colour. Cecil wasn’t thrilled with the original maroon so he took the car to Submitted photo a cousin in Toronto who owns a body shop with a fine reputation.

The Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachment processes thousands of criminal record checks every year for both volunteer and employment positions. Due diligence on the part of volunteer organizations and employers is very important. The OPP welcomes the opportunity to assist in this very important step of screening potential volunteer and employees. The process of applying for a criminal record check can be confusing especially if one has not gone through the process before. The OPP is ever working to make the process easier and more understandable to people for less confusion and delays. There are several types of criminal record checks that are asked for by organizations: • Police Criminal Record Check (PCRC) – Level 1: This check is intended for applicants seeking employment and/or volunteering with agencies where a basic PCRC is requested (e.g. retail or immigration). This check is not intended for applicants who are seeking employment and/or volunteering with vulnerable persons. • Police Information Check (PIC) – Level 2: This check is intended for applicants who are seeking volunteer and/or employment
with agencies who require a criminal record check. The agency has determined that a search of sex offenders with a record suspension is not required (e.g., border crossing or visa); therefore, this check is not intended for applicants who are seeking employment and/or volunteer with vulnerable persons. Additional details to clarify releasable information for Level 1 and Level 2 are found on the form “LE219E (2015/04)” • Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC) (including Pardoned Sex Offender Database): This check is restricted to applicants seeking employment and/or volunteering in a position of authority or trust relative to vulnerable persons in Canada only. In order to have this completed, you must have an agency/organization letter which explains that you need a police vulnerable sector check. You will also need to give a detailed description of the specific job you will be hired/volunteer for, as well as a hiring manager’s name and contact number. More in depth information can be found on: http:// www.opp.ca/ecms/index. php?id=499. Please note that as of May 1, old versions of application forms will not be accepted at detachments.
Help solve July 2 spray paint theft at Carleton Place RONA Police are seeking assistance from the public to identify the person or persons responsible for a theft at the RONA store in Carleton Place. On Thursday, July 2, a male was observed pushing a cart full of spray paint. The individual was then seen getting into a dark blue or black car. If you have information on this crime or any others, please call Lanark County Crime Stoppers anonymously at the toll free number, 1-800222-TIPS. All calls are confidential and are not taped. Lanark County Crime Stoppers offers a cash reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest, the

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, changes on the horizon have you excited. Something may come up that appears to compromise your plans, but keep an open mind and everything will work out. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, give into your feelings and throw caution to the wind this week. You might shock someone by doing something risky. Explore this boldness if it suits you. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You are a born leader, Gemini. You are normally comfortable designating tasks and overseeing their completion, but you may have to get your hands dirty this week. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You may experience a breakthrough this week, Cancer. You have been toiling over something for some time now, and you finally have the information you need. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you have a lot of enthusiasm and are ready to share it with others. Devote your time to a worthy project or host a social event to bring friends together. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you normally like to take things step-by-step, but excitement this week may find you taking a less careful approach. Ask a friend to keep you in check.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, this week you may be challenged by circumstances that prevent you from straying too far from home. You might desire a vacation, but it’s on hold for now.

FOURNIER, Barbara Ann July 10, 2013 A million times I’ve needed you A million times I’ve cried, If love alone could have saved you You never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still In my heart you hold a place, No one else can ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone Part of me went with you, The day God took you home. Loved forever Dave and families
Lance Woolsey July 12, 2012 - July , 2015 Written from the Heart Lance, you said to me many times, that someday I will no longer be with you, and life must go on. Yes, life does go on. When I see a bright star in the sky, I know you are still present in our lives. From a very young age, you were a “Survivor” amidst it all, and became the most loving human being that walked this earth. You faced every adversity with great strength and those warm eyes carrying you through it all. You made an unforgettable bond with all those lives that you touched. As I was looking for a picture this morning I came across a card that had been hand written to you by your stepson on Father’s Day which sums it all up - “The time and attention that a Father gives to a child is irreplaceable - there is no substitute for the involvement and commitment of a responsible Father”. This is the type of Father you really are. This is the man, the father, the husband that you will forever be. Love Pat, Children, Grandchildren and Brother.

Lanark Wild Food Club cook book to be ready this fall Peter Fischl
Thanks to the valiant efforts of Brenda Trudel and Hilary Barrett the cookbook is well on it’s way to completion and should be ready for the fall wild dinner with any luck. Hilary informs me there are more than 150 recipes. Pieter Leenhouts of the Ontario Woodlot Owners Association will do the final leg of the process. The book should include examples of all different aspects of local wild fare including wild game, poultry, fish and foraged plants as well as such humourous entries as mosquito casserole or roast possum. Wild food dinner Nov. 21 Nov. 21, reserve this date! Professor/chef Thomas Elia from St. Lawrence College, along with students and graduates from the College’s Culinary Skills and Chef Training Program, will be catering a Wild Food Dinner food at the Lions Hall in Perth. They will be relying on us to hunt, fish and gather food over the next few months, so start foraging! The students will have a unique opportunity to explore the use of ingredients from the wild to create safe and tasty food, and we will enjoy a delicious meal.
We are looking for individuals to help us with the mammoth task of assembling the ingredients for this meal. You may take your own initiative and harvest one of the following list of ingredients in quantity if you feel energetic: • Wild grapes (after first frost of fall made into syrup) • Cattail hearts (now until late June) • Fall wild leek bulbs (should be marked now while leaves are still there) • Sweet fern leaves (dried without any mold or wilt) • Mushrooms (honey mushrooms, giant puffballs, chicken of the woods, chanterelles etc., positively identified) • Nuts, dried and shelled (black walnuts, butternuts, hickories, hazelnuts or beech nuts) • Milkweed shoots (blanched and frozen) • Wild berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, black currants, gooseberries – frozen) • Wild ginger roots-dried, and leaves-dried and anything else your in the mood to collect • Wild game: We need venison tenderloin, in particular, because the chef wants us to procure enough to do one complete course for every-
one. (We have seven small roasts already donated but we need lots more). Any venison, wild turkey, bear or other wild game is welcome. We need relevant information. Unfortunately with the donated meat (MNR rules), we need hunter information. If you are a trapper we could use young and tender ‘novelty’ animals and anyone with cured wild game like pepperettes or sausage. We fully realize that it is a lot to ask for people to donate so much and then pay for tickets as well but all proceeds go to a worthwhile related charity (Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust) and also the fact that the nature of the dinner reflects philosophy of the club which is about community and sharing the work as well as enjoying together the bounty of where we live. Thank you. For more information, please call Hilary Barrett (613-278-0220) or Peter Fischl (613-267-9557). Upcoming events The July 26 cattail pollen, collecting and using walk has been cancelled due to time constraints and availability of the facilitators. Aug. 22: Mushroom walk with Gregg Rolak. Gregg will show how to identify some common mushrooms with the assistance of other

available mycrophalgists. Gregg has been harvesting and learning about mushrooms for several years now but warns that he only knows the Polish names for the mushrooms. Sept. 19: Bill Barratt will lead a walk through the woods, assisted by Derek Steele, to teach such skills as identification of species solely by shape of crown and bark pattern, their different values as firewood and some of the individual qualities that makes certain wood good for certain uses; i.e. tool handles or framing lumber. About the Lanark Wild Food Club The LWFC was established in 2012 with the purpose to raise awareness of wild food, gather and prepare it for consumption. The group regularly holds foraging walks for members and newcomers to learn more about wild food in their own backyard. For more information about the club, visit www.lanarkwfc.com. Over the past five years, they have held successful survival walks, Family Day ice fishing events, edible wild food workshops, as well as a number of other talks. Peter Fischl is a member of the Lanark Wild Food Club.
New library MAPsacks let kids discover natural world around them Heesen remembers from her own childhood what joy and discovery can be had from the great outdoors. “I spent a lot of time as a kid (outdoors),” she recalled. “I ran around with bare feet. I think that’s great.” When walking in the woods with her father, he would tell her all of the Latin names for the different trees and vegetation they would pass. “It’s something I personally did, and I benefitted from that,” said Heesen. On the plus side, having a knowledge about plants meant that she knew that the wild strawberries in her back yard were edible – while the poison berries on the hedge were best left alone. “This is the world we live in,” said Heesen. The program is also being run in partnership with the Leeds-Grenville Stewardship Council, and is an extension of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Healthy Communities Partnership, which promotes healthy communities.

The natural world awaits kids. The Perth and District Union Public Library has partnered with the Rideau Lakes Public Library and the Brockville Public Library to get a hold of two MAPsacks (Movement and Play), which contain RVCA (Rideau Valley Conservation Authority) passes to conservation areas, treasure boxes, a number of activities (like identifying leaves), and various nature books. There are six backpacks in total which rotate amongst the three library systems. The program started this past June, and the program has proven to be quite popular. “They go out fairly regularly,” said Perth’s chief librarian and chief executive officer, Erika Heesen, during an interview at her office on Monday, July 6. “People are asking about them.” They can be loaned out for up to a week, and the Perth bags currently on hook, so to speak, are Local RVCA conservation areas include: about rocks and bugs.

Canada Day was celebrated in the Members’ Lounge of Perth’s Royal Canadian Legion with music by Mark Hannah, Harry Adrain and Eddie Ashton. Even though many other Canada Day activities were happening in the area, the Lounge was just about to capacity, and the crowd was enthusiastic. The 24th annual Del Harper Memorial Baseball Tournament takes place on July 10-12 at Conlon Farm. Del Harper had served in World War II as an Air Gunner in the RCAF, followed by a career with Ontario Hydro in the Forestry Division. For about six years, until the early seventies, he coached the Perth Connie Mack Baseball team, and also coached Juvenile hockey. Del Harper’s love of the outdoors began on the family farm near McDonald’s Corners. He began trapping then, and continued that activity all his life. He was also one of the members who in 1963 pledged his home as security against a loan to build the Legion House we enjoy to this day.

“Do you think melatonin is of any value?” a doctor recently asked me. So if a doctor is wondering about this natural remedy, there must be many patients who are asking the same question. So what do we know about it? Melatonin has been labeled “the darkness hormone” because it’s produced at night in contrast to vitamin D, “the sunshine hormone”, that’s manufactured during sunlight hours. Dr. Gifford-Jones Melatonin is found in some plants such as bananas, cherries and grapes. A report in the Journal of Medicinal Food showed that tart cherry juice, compared to a placebo drink, helped some older people sleep better. But it required 16 ounces a day, (the equivalent of 100 cherries) to have this modest effect. It also added 250 calories to daily intake. Melatonin is linked to our biological time-clock which decides what hormones are released at what times during the day. Studies show that levels of melatonin decrease with age, about 10 percent each decade. So by age 50 the production of melatonin has declined by one half and at 80 it’s one third of what it was at age 20. Some authorities believe this is why the elderly suffer from insomnia and why it’s prudent to use a melatonin supplement. In recent years melatonin has been touted as a way to treat or prevent everything from headaches, depression, fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome and anxiety. In fact, some have suggested it can even cure menopausal symptoms and be of help to those with heart problems and cancer. But according to a report from the University of California, there’s no evidence that melatonin should be used for these problems. Dr. John Alevizos, a California physician, with an interest in insomnia, reports this interesting observation about the deep sleep produced by melatonin. He says deep sleep can trigger vivid dreams. This can be good news for some people, as there are vivid dreams and vivid dreams. But if it’s causing nightmares he says it’s best to stop melatonin. Sleeping pills can provide a good night’s sleep and make you feel great the next day, but also give you an old-fashioned hangover. Melatonin can also have this two-edged effect and no one knows whether prolonged use of melatonin suppresses the body’s normal ability to manufacture it. Research studies have also linked the use of melatonin to high blood sugar, breast swelling in men, decreased sperm count, gastrointestinal inflammation, sleep walking and vertigo. So how safe is melatonin? A review by the Cochrane Collaboration which evaluates medical treatments concluded that melatonin is effective for preventing or reducing jet lag and recommended it for adult travelers flying across five or more time zones, particularly for those travelling in an eastward direction. The National Standard which also reviews complimentary and alternative treatments found some good for its use in treating insomnia in the elderly and for helping sleep in healthy people. But for all the other supposed benefits the evidence was inconclusive or conflicting. Another report from the University of California and the Mayo Clinic agrees that melatonin is safe for short periods of time and may be useful for treating insomnia in the elderly. But it’s not just people who fly across time zones who cannot sleep. Studies show that 45 percent of the population suffers from this problem which has been linked to increased risk of heart attack, stroke, increased blood sugar, a craving for food and a less effective immune system. So it’s medically important to get your sleep. For flights, the dose varies from 0.5 to 10 milligrams (mgs). But since we all have different reactions to medication it is always prudent to ask your doctor about the best dose for you. You can also get sound advice by discussing this problem with your local Health Food Store. To me, one thing is certain. There are several prescription drugs for insomnia. But it makes more sense to try a natural remedy first. They have been tested by tincture of time and safer than prescription drugs. R0013358338_0709

Council’s tie vote results in no extra financing for minor hockey Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Michael McLean, owner of the Perth Blue Wings – now a new CCHL2 hockey team, said he’s “very surprised and disappointed” that his proposal was axed by council June 30 for a sports bar at the Perth arena. A tie vote ensued with Mayor John Fenik, councillors Judy Brown and Ed McPherson voting against the project. Councillors Jim Boldt, Jim Graff and Deputy Mayor John Gemmell voted in favour of it. (See Desmond Devoy’s story for more detail as to why it was voted down.)
What made McLean even more frustrated was that all of council was for the idea, in principle, he said. “I was especially disappointed in the fact that Mayor Fenik, councillors Brown and McPherson voted against the motion - after earlier supporting the idea in principal,” McLean said in an email exchange on July 6. CAO John deRosenroll explained that the mayor has all voting rights as the other councillors. He also indicated that Coun. Riq Turner may have chosen to sit out of this debate as he is employed by McLean as host of the Blue Wings hockey games. The CAO did say, however, that if
there is any new information brought forward on this issue, then council has the opportunity to revisit it. Council can do a “motion for reconsideration,” if new information comes to light that could change the minds of council members. “That has happened one or two times in the past year,” deRosenroll said. “But at this time, the overall nature is to respect council’s vote” on this subject. McLean stated in his email that there was a $100,000 private investment into the area, a place for club members, corporate sponsor, and season ticket holders to relax and enjoy a Blue Wings game. “It was not open to the general public
or children,” he stated. When McLean approached the town about a sports club in February, the idea passed at all stages, including recreation, committee of the whole and town council with unanimous support, he said. There was “not one single vote against at any stage,” he noted. Money and a ton of work was invested in the planning of the club, McLean said. “We were optimistic. The real loss here is (for) children and youth in our community.” McLean said thousands of dollars raised through the sports bar were earmarked to sponsor three deserving children in Perth so they could play hockey next season. “We were going to pay for their skates, equipment and registration. These were three kids who wanted to play, but could not afford the financial obligation. “This is now gone,” he said. McLean had tentatively rented the ice at the Perth arena next year for every Tuesday at 5 p.m. for any children to come out and play hockey for free.
There would have been no cost to them. “We were going to pay for the weekly ice out of the sports club and supervise the weekly games,” McLean wrote. This has now been cancelled. “Every nickel of money made from the sports club was going to be donated directly back to children in our community,” he said, including for minor hockey, figure skating, etc. McLean said he had envisioned this as a win-win for everyone. “We have worked extremely hard over the past two years to create one of the best ‘Family Entertainment’ options in our community,” McLean wrote. “Our league leading fan support speaks for itself. “We were not going to do anything to damage this reputation or game day experience. This was a private club for members only, similar to what many other communities have in their arenas.” McLean added that he saw no issues with serving alcohol responsibly at games, “like is done at other sports venues.”

Being able to utilize land in a strategic manner while looking after watersheds and waterways has become very important. Following his further studies, Brady said he hopes to return to home and contribute to planning for a sustainable future for our community. The Water Guardian Scholarship was initi-
ated in 2011 when two scholarships of $500 each were funded by donations from the Royal Bank of Canada and the Tay River Legal Defence Fund. In 2012 and 2013, $500 scholarships were funded from operating funds of the Friends of the Tay. In the last two years, with the support of the Little Stream Bakery of Glen Tay, the decision was made to award a single scholarship of $1000. The annual scholarship is open to graduates of a high school in the Tay Watershed who intend to follow a full-time, post-secondary (college or university) diploma or degree program in Environmental Sciences or a related discipline.
