Stellar lineup for Stewart Park Festival Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Community – Increased government funding has allowed the Stewart Park Festival to expand its programming. The festival received a technical grant to improve its website, through the Ontario government’s cultural development fund, to the tune of $11,000. Celebrate Ontario and the Ontario Arts Council kicked in the remaining funding, for an increase of $42,375. “That has really made a

difference in what we can do here,” said festival manager Sandy Irvin, during an interview in town hall office last week. “Because we have more funding… we now can live up to those expectations.” One of those raised expectations is attracting more families to the festival, so the kids’ activities’ tent should be a big draw, which will feature a finger puppet workshop. “We are hoping that more families will come.” See STEWART page P4

Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim Wilson, seen here in this June 12 election night file photograph from the Collingwood Connection, is the new interim leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. ing re-elected to the speaker’s role he has held since 2011. While the race for speaker was spirited – and took up most of the afternoon of July 2 – Hillier was shocked at how he and his fellow MPPs were sworn in as a group, something he had not seen when he was sworn in previously in 2007 and 2011. “Historically, the swearing-in is a pretty significant occasion,” said Hillier. For his inaugural swearing-in in 2007, “it was a substantive and eventful event in my life… swearing in as a group, nobody knows if anyone swore… I found that to be a disturbing diminishment of one’s office. I think that the oath of office is something that should be taken seriously.”

In his first comments after being elected interim leader, Wilson told reporters that caucus had not been listened to for many years, and that he wanted to begin to change that, something Hillier agrees with, “absolutely, without a doubt,” saying that, on that issue, he and Wilson were “speaking from the same hymn book.” While it did not take too long to count 28 ballots, the race for speaker went to three ballots with five candidates vying for the job, including Liberal MPP Dave Levac (Brant) – who ended up be-

News – For the second time, it wasn’t meant to be for Randy Hillier to become the leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party. Hillier was one of three Tory MPPs vying to be the caretaker leader to replace outgoing leader Tim Hudak on July 2. The Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MPP had run for the permanent leader’s job following John Tory’s resignation in 2009, was defeated in his run for the interim leadership that day by Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim Wilson, 51, who has been an MPP since 1990. Hudak stepped down following his party’s poor showing in the June 12 provincial election, when the party lost nine seats. Hillier and Wilson were joined in the race by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski, who vied for votes in the 28-member caucus. “I don’t see elections as being a win and lose situation,” said Hillier last Friday, July 4. “I see it as people making a choice and there is never anything wrong with people making a choice.” Now that Wilson is in charge, albeit temporarily, Hillier estimated that the Tory shadow cabinet will be shaken up in September in time for the fall session – a shuffle that could include Hillier returning from the political wilderness to a critic position. “I’ve been asked what position I want,” said Hillier. “There will be new critic roles, in all likelihood.” In the meantime, “I’m focusing all of my energies and efforts on rebuilding and reforming the party.” Hillier and fellow Tory MPP Jack MacLaren had expressed hope that a leadership race for a permanent leader would be held anywhere from six months to a year from now. Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott is the first declared

He also objected to the house being recalled so soon after the election for a rare summer sitting. In fact, so quickly was it recalled that the MPP for Thornhill, Gila Martow, was not able to take part in the election

for speaker as she only won her seat by 85 votes, which is undergoing a judicial review. “There is no requirement for the house to be recalled so quickly,� he said, though Finance Minister Charles Sousa is due to put the very same budget he presented on May 1 to the house again later this month (the very same budget the New Democratic Party rejected, triggering last month’s provincial election.)

On July 3, Hillier and his fellow MPPs attended the delivering of the Speech from the Throne by outgoing Lt. Gov. David Onley. “I was shocked when I was listening to the throne speech,� said Hillier.

Charity golf tournament scores big for CDSBEO students

Sports - The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) hosted the seventh annual Good Samaritan Trust Fund (GSTF) Golf Tournament on Friday, July 4, at the Upper Canada Golf Course. The tournament raised more than $25,000 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 that cannot be remedied by organizations such as food banks, snowsuit funds, or breakfast clubs. It fills a support void that is not defined or

restricted to one specific need. Director of Education, Wm. J. Gartland, expressed his thanks to tournament supporters, “This tournament has become our flagship 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.� Jamie Mannion, GSTF committee chair, thanked those in attendance for their contribution to the fund, “It is tough to see the difficulties that face some families. The need throughout the regions of the board is extraordinary, and we thank you all for your

help in allowing us to provide support to those who have nowhere to turn.� The CDSBEO would like to thank the many sponsors who helped make the tournament a success. The board is also appreciative to prize donors, volunteers, and supporters of the tournament and silent auction. For more information on how to support the Good Samaritan Trust Fund, please visit www. cdsbeo.on.ca, or contact CDSBEO Communications Officer Amber LaBerge at 613-258-7757 ext. 272, or 613-485-0268 (mobile). The Catholic District School Board of East-

ern Ontario operates 40 elementary and 10 secondary schools across 8 counties. The CDSBEO offers excellence in Catholic education through provincial-leading programs to approximately 13,000 students. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

Public health reminder: West Nile virus, risks, symptoms News – Warmer weather is here and it’s more important than ever to protect yourself from pesky mosquito bites. Not only are bites uncomfortable, but the mosquito that bites you may also give you West Nile virus. Although the chances of contracting the virus are generally low, there are still risks. There are simple and effective measures you can take to reduce these risks. As you prepare to spend time outdoors, learn more about West Nile virus and how to prevent it. West Nile virus is mainly transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito.

It can affect all age groups. Risk to Canadians For most Canadians, the risk of getting infected is usually low because relatively few mosquitoes are infected with West Nile virus. The risk of being infected can fluctuate from year to year. Overall, the risk is greatest during the warm summer months. In Canada, this can start as early as mid-April and last until the first hard frost in late September or October. The majority of human infections occur between July and early September.

Champions reaches the $1 million fundraising mark just raising funds, we’re making moments for these children in dance, in soccer, in hockey and in music that students will cherish for the rest of their lives. We are making childhood dreams come true.” The milestone was celebrated with cake and balloons at the end of the banquet to mark the occasion. During the interview, Thomas spoke of the foundation’s inception in January 2008. The director of education for the Upper Canada District School Board had been talking with a young man who could no longer afford to enroll his children in hockey because of home repairs he could not put off. The family was struggling to make ends meet, and Thomas and a group of his friends pooled their resources and ensured that the two boys could enroll in hockey that year. Taking his cue from another educa-

tional foundation he was involved with, Thomas worked with a group of dedicated volunteers to form Champions for Kids. Many of those volunteers are still with the foundation today. The charity raises funds to help children play sports, enjoy arts activities such as piano lessons and dance, and help parents with additional costs they may be facing to take

a sick child for treatment out of town – such as meal and fuel expenses. Since its inception, Champions has helped hundreds of youth and their families. The celebration was the highlight of a successful tournament that raised an estimated $50,000 to help the Foundation reach the million dollar mark. The total was gained through sponsorships, golf

fees, and funds generated through a live and silent auction at the event. The top team at the tournament was the foursome of Ray Lumsden, Kevin Beattie, Keith Fraser, and Bill Lumsden, who shot a team score of -21. The prize for most sportsmanlike team went to Val Allen, Susan Edwards, Sydney Collard and Ben Allen.

Upper Canada District School Board Champions For Kids Foundation President David Thomas officially announced Wednesday night that the charity had actually passed the $1 million fundraising mark after less than seven years. Officials with the charity celebrated the milestone during the banquet at the seventh annual Champions for Kids Foundation golf tournament, held at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. “I can tell you that I feel like a million bucks,” said Thomas. “When we started this foundation we had hoped we would reach this milestone but I never dreamed it would be this quickly. It just goes to show you how caring our staff, students, community businesses and area residents are when it comes to helping kids enjoy their childhood. “We all win here because we’re not

News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) announced that it will begin using a science-based, standardized mental health screening form across the province which will help frontline officers articulate, in medical terms, why a person is being brought to a hospital for psychiatric assessment. “I am pleased to announce the OPP is launching this science-based tool to improve our communication with health care professionals, which will help people in crisis get the care they need, when they need it,” said OPP Commissioner J.V.N. (Vince) Hawkes. The Brief Mental Health Screener (BMHS) is the result of a collaborative partnership between the OPP, University of Waterloo and interRAI, a network of researchers in over 30 countries committed to improving care for vulnerable populations, including persons with mental illness. InterRAI has developed assessment instruments for emergency care, nursing homes, home care, mental health and intellectual disabilities, among others. “The Brief Mental Health Screener is a scientifically-sound tool that will help police

officers identify mental health issues. It will increase their ability to collaborate effectively with mental health professionals,” said Dr. John Hirdes, chair of the interRAI Network of Excellence in Mental Health and Professor, School of Public Health and Health Systems, University of Waterloo. “Tools such as the Brief Mental Health Screener enhance the transfer of care of a person in a mental health crisis, leading to better outcomes for individuals when they need it the most,” added Camille Quenneville, chief executive officer (CEO), Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario Division. “We’re pleased the OPP is taking steps to help officers improve interaction with those living with mental health issues and we look forward to further collaboration on this issue.” The BMHS is based on the interRAI Mental Health assessment system, a comprehensive standardized instrument mandated in 2005 by the Ontario Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care for use with all patients admitted to an Ontario hospital for inpatient psychiatric care. The BMHS has been evaluated through

an OPP pilot project and will improve police response to people experiencing a mental health crisis. It will also assist officers in dealing with these situations and serves as a positive example of community mobilization in action. “Ontario’s hospitals rely heavily on strong partnerships with community services, and so we welcome the adoption of the Brief Mental Health Screener by the Ontario Provincial Police. It is a useful tool that can enhance communications, support collaboration between police officers and health care professionals and bring a more seamless system of care to patients. We are encouraged by the work that’s underway across Ontario to adopt tools like the BMHS,” stated Anthony Dale, president and CEO of the Ontario Hospital Association. OPP detachment commanders will soon be seeking partnerships with Ontario hospitals to implement use of the BMHS. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

Hobbs promoted to UCDSB’s superintendent of Human Resources Operations News – A veteran manager who helped revitalize the Upper Canada District School Board’s information technology (IT) and facilities departments will add Human Resources to his portfolio. Jeremy Hobbs, current chief information and facilities officer, has been promoted to superintendent of human resources and operations effective Sept. 1. He will replace current Superintendent of human resources Charlotte Patterson, who retires in August. The 41-year-old father of one is excited about the promotion. “I think it’s pretty great,” said Hobbs. “I feel that our teams have overcome quite a few hurdles (in facilities and IT) and that those departments are performing well. They are ready to move forward and we have a solid agenda in place for their success. “I look forward to this new role. Seventy to 80 per cent of our board’s annual budget is spent on staff in general and it’s hard not to see this as a big opportunity to contribute to the

board’s learning agenda,” he added. He says his varied management experience over the years has helped him become adaptable to change and new challenges. “I think my experience and qualifications will help,” said Hobbs of his ability to perform his new role. “I’ve kind of made a career out of not being a technical expert in the fields I manage, but having the ability to set a vision for my departments, to facilitate change and to realize that vision.” The lifelong sailor graduated from the University of Ottawa with a Bachelor of Science Degree in 1994, and then a Bachelor of Education in 1995. He earned a Master’s of Business Administration from Athabasca University in 2010. The Brockville native began his career in education in 1996 when he started teaching with the Ottawa- Carleton District School Board. He worked as a teacher until 2000, when he assumed the role of information technology coordinator for that board’s central office. In

Coombs takes on new role with UCDSB News – A veteran educator with the Upper Canada District School Board has been promoted to the new position of superintendent of school operations. David Coombs, current superintendent of school effectiveness, will assume the new position Sept. 1 as part of a reorganization of the management structure at the board. Coombs will be tasked with supervising a range of issues such as safe schools, school and student supervision, school audits and school reviews, and parent involvement. While he currently has regional control over some of these duties, he now assumes leadership for them over all 10 families of schools. “It will give me the opportunity, with principals from the families of schools and other senior team members, to work towards a system that is more streamlined, more efficient and more user-friendly both for parents and the community,” he said. “It’s a big change, but it’s an exciting change.”

Coombs will develop new strategies to make improvements that will have a real impact on student achievement and wellness, such as determining ways students can ethically take full advantage of the Internet in their learning. “The classroom is no longer the wellspring of knowledge. We now have access to all the information we want online, but we still need to coach our students in the effective use of that information to solve problems, to think critically, and to act ethically for success,” Coombs added. Coombs began teaching in 1989 in a private school in Mississauga called Mentor College. From 1991 to 1994 he worked in Baffin Island in the town of Igloolik in what is now Nunavut. From 1994 to 1998 he taught in Moosonee and James Bay, and then transferred to Red Lake, Ontario as a vice principal from 1998 to 1999. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

2001, he took on a special assignment with the board, working with the director of education to streamline administration. In 2003 he transferred to the Peel District School Board where he worked with the director to transform that board’s IT department. He began with the Upper Canada District School Board in 2004 as chief information officer, and was promoted to his current role in 2007. Hobbs is married to wife Alison, a local entrepreneur, and has one daughter, Emma, 13. Apart from work and family life, he is a Master’s swimmer, a racing sailor and is president of the Upper Canada Swim Club, where his daughter is a member. He is a former member and vice chair of the Brockville YMCA board of directors. Director of education David Thomas said Hobbs will bring a wealth of experience and innovative ideas to the role.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Impact of proposed bill could see small farms disappear DEAR EDITOR:

I have recently become aware of the dire implications for our Canadian food supply buried in Bill C-18, which is about to receive second reading in Canada’s parliament. Contained in the bill are alterations to regulations governing how seed can be cleaned and stored. This affects how farmers have saved seed for thousands of years from one years’ crop to plant the following year. This is referred to as Farmer’s Privilege. Without being necessary to conform to international standards, as we already meet them, the government of Stephen Harper is making changes that invite multinational seed corporations (Monsanto is one of them) to sell ‘approved’ seed to farmers who, also due to these changes, will find it difficult to save their seed legally. Because the seed the corporations are purveying are IP (Intellectual Property) and protected by legal means, the seed company can potentially charge not only for

the seed, which is normal practice, but also impose fees for the season’s processes, such as fertilizing, harvesting, and selling crops. In addition, any neighbouring farm that receives pollen blown over from an IP protected plant becomes subject to the same fees. The likely environmental damages from these seeds include: increased monoculture and subsequent loss of plant diversity; the IP plants require more fertilizers, which have a greater impact on our ground water; IP seed is genetically modified (GMO), which runs counter to the growing movement amongst Canadians for healthy, locally grown food. The impact of this bill could see our small farms disappear because of a far greater debt-load from increased costs, fees and fertilization. There is a wealth of information available on the National Farmer’s Union site (nfu.ca). Look for Stop Bill C-18. See LETTER page 9

COMMENTARY

Make it a habit

M

ake bicycle safety a habit. Ensuring you do a six-point safety check each time you hop on your two-wheeler will help keep you safe on our roadways. Check your tires, wheels, seat and handlebars, and the brakes to make sure all are working properly. All bikes must be equipped with a horn and brakes that work - this is the law. Protect your head and always wear a helmet. In Ontario the law requires that anyone under the age of 18 must wear a helmet. According to police, failure to wear one may result in an $80 fine. Obey the rules of the road, be alert and listen. Bicycles, by law are bound by the same rules of the road as all motor vehicles. This includes stop signs, yield signs, traffic lights, etc. A person can be charged the same as the driver of a motor vehicle for any of these violations. Using hand signals will also help ensure your safety. Some drivers just don’t see you. Riding in traffic should not even be attempted until you can do so safely, and if you’re just starting out, avoid riding at night. It’s always a good idea to wear bright, reflective clothing, especially at night. Being visible is also a law in Ontario - and that anyone riding a half hour before sunset or half hour after sunrise must have the bicycle equipped with a functioning front and rear light. If this isn’t working (or not equipped), you may see a fine of $35. Another safety precaution, in case of theft, police advise to record the serial number of your bicycle for identification purposes. The month of July is bicycle safety month and part of the Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) of the Smiths Falls Police Service.

ifestyle - The sun was just staring to come up. Father had roused the brothers, and with great effort they dressed, ate their breakfast in silence, and followed him to the barns. They would head to the back fields...Father walking behind the team, King and Queen. They would have to cross the creek and then the Bonnechere, at the lowest ebb, sloshing across in their work boots to get to the farthest reaches of the farm. There was no bridge to go from the front section of the farm to what Father called “the back 40”, although the acreage across the river was much more than 40. The hay had been mowed into windrows, and now sat in little stacks which the brothers and Father had worked at

water. I would tear up the West Hill like someone possessed, ever aware that I was alone, cut off from Mother at home, and the men working in the fields far away. The field was the biggest on the farm, even bigger than what we called the ‘20 acre field’ that separated our farm from the Thom’s. A rail fence, put up by Father’s great grandfather, circled the field, and a log gate was at one end where Father could take the team in and out when necessary.

I put the basket down and walked slowly towards the hay, and the bird showed its displeasure by swooping in and out of the hay declaring ownership. I knew it was nesting, and knew too, there were either eggs or baby birds deep inside. Before the day was out, that mound of hay would be on the wagon, and the bird’s nest and whatever was in it, gone.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reader addresses issue of smart meters DEAR EDITOR:

On Feb. 14, a Hydro One smart meter installer knocked on my door to inform me that he wanted to replace my analog power measuring meter with a smart meter. This is the third attempt that a Hydro One installer wanted to replace my analog meter, and this was my third refusal to have a smart meter installed on my house. I have four concerns about smart meters and they are: health, privacy, control of you and fire hazard. Therefore, I see no net benefits to myself to have a smart meter. Health Every smart meter transmits information about your power usage just like a cell phone. The smart meter uses powerful bursts of electromagnetic radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation to communicate with nearby smart meters and cell towers and send info back to the power company every few minutes or less. You are living within a microwave environment and your dwelling is acting like a microwave appliance. There is a medical study that shows the cumulative health effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation that causes the breakup of the DNA, birth defects, cancer, blood pressure changes, sleep disturbances, headaches, and more than 100 other health problems. You will also get radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation from the next new appliance that you purchase. The new appliance will have a RFID chip that will communicate with the smart meter and thus exposing you to more radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation. Privacy The smart meter has the ability to collect accurate information of your power usage of each of your individual appliances (spying) and send the information to the power company. In order to accomplish the spying you will be required to replace all your appliances with Energy Star smart appliances that have a RFID chip that will communicate with

cried to Father that there was one haystack that he couldn’t touch, and told him why. Emerson said he was heading right over to the place with the fork, and that would be the end of the bird’s nest. Father told him to stay where he was...there was plenty of work to do at that end of the field. And then Father followed me over to the gate and the haystack where the little bird had nested. He put his finger to his lips, signalling me to be quiet. The bird was frantic, making a lot of noise and going in and out of the hay, hovering, and proclaiming ownership again. Father took my hand and led me towards the opening in the field before he spoke. He said one haystack left in the field would neither make nor break us, and he saw no reason why the bird couldn’t be left alone. I was so overjoyed; I

your smart meter by wireless (WiFi). You will also be required to replace all your plugin receptacles with new RFID chipped receptacles. Then your smart meter will collect data when your washing machine and coffee maker are operating. If you don’t replace your old appliances and plug-ins with new RFID chipped appliances and plug-ins then you could be billed more for using old appliances. This plan is from the Earth Summit 1992 Treaty that is concerned with CO2 emissions that they claim is causing global warming (they now call it climate change as what happened this winter). Control The smart meter has a system of control. First of all, the smart meter will track your power usage at all hours of the day and you will be charged a different price that varies during the time of day. Power consumed at business hours will be charged at a higher price than off business hours. Those that have smart appliances will find that the smart meter will turn off the smart appliance when the power company decides that you are using too much power. Also, your power may be shut off in order transfer the power to another area. This is all part of the plan to integrate North America into a Smart Grid Power System. Fire hazard Smart meters have been causing fires and explosions in different jurisdictions of Canada, United States and Australia. Just in the last few years there were house fires caused by a smart meters in the cities of Pickering, Cobden, Deep River and other areas of Canada. There is a growing demand to ban smart meters across North America. In some of the US states it is optional and in other states there is a state-wide ban.

hugged his overall covered leg, and thanked him over and over again. I gave Father the basket, and he headed back to where the boys were working, and I headed over towards the West Hill and home to tell Mother about the little bird frantically trying to protect its nest. I told her how Father said it would be left alone to hatch its eggs, or feed its babies, whatever the case may be. Mother smiled and said, “That’s just like something your father would do.” And so for the rest of the season, standing alone in that big hay field was one small mound. It would shrink in size. It would turn brown from the sun, but it would have served as a safe haven to a little bird who called it home. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Making the minimum Credit cards are fairly easy to obtain – if your credit score is okay – and convenient. They can also put you in a world of financial hurt, especially when you run up big debt on high-interest-rate cards. You don’t plan to do that, of course, but it can happen almost before you know it especially if you make only the minimum monthly payment. The minimum payment on credit cards is determined either by a percentage of your outstanding balance (usually 2-3%) or a small monthly fee (usually around $10). These are relatively small amounts but if you only pay the monthly minimum, it will take years to pay off your credit card balance. Let’s say you have an outstanding credit card balance of $2,000 with an interest rate of 19.99% and a minimum payment requirement of 3% of the balance. Your initial monthly minimum payment would be $60 and if you make only the minimum payment every month, it would take you 15 years and 3 months to pay off your balance in

Be prepared out on the water Lifestyle – It’s a beautiful day; the sun is shining and you’ve launched your boat for the start of another season on the water. Everyone’s on board, excited about the day ahead, so off you go. The day unfolds as you had hoped it would. Until a problem leaves you dead in the water. It could be that you’ve run out of gas or you’ve had a mechanical breakdown of some kind. What to do? The real question should be “what should I do before I leave the dock?� And the answer is “review your check list.� Many boaters would quickly call up the Canadian Coast Guard for help. “I’m out of gas. Can you rescue me?� “We’ve been anchored and now my engine won’t start. Can you rescue me?� The perception that is all too common among boaters in Canada is that the Coast Guard not only saves lives but assists boaters who are stranded. The Coast Guard, in other words, is a water-based version of the Canadian Automobile Association. Scott Miller, a maritime search and rescue coordinator with the Canadian Coast Guard says this is a real problem for his people. Yes, he says, the Coast Guard will come to someone’s aid if they’re having mechanical problems or have run out of gas. But only if there is imminent danger to them or their vessel. In other words, if your tanks have simply run dry but the weather is fine and your vessel isn’t drifting towards rocks or any other kind of danger, then, Miller says, the Coast Guard won’t come directly. “We issue a marine assistance radio broadcast and if a towing company or a vessel of opportunity answers it, then we won’t be towing.� Miller says there’s a very good reason for this. Seventy-five to 80 per cent of calls for help to the Coast Guard are non-distress calls; the most common ones deal with boats that have broken down or run aground or have just run out of gas – far and away the most common call to the Coast Guard. Running aground is the next most common issue, Miller says. “What we often hear from the boater is ‘that rock wasn’t here last year’. We see an awful lot of boaters who have no charts or, if they do, they don’t know how to read them or they don’t know how to work their GPS. We’ve even seen some boaters trying to navigate with road maps!� Mechanical failures can strike any boater, any time. That’s just part of boating. And it’s not necessarily an indication that the boater has simply failed to properly look after the boat. But Miller says the Coast Guard often finds

that those who break down do so repeatedly. “And when we investigate, we find the boat is in total disarray down below,� he said. The most common calls for help to the Coast Guard are all based on situations that are entirely preventable by the boat owner. In the past, the Coast Guard responded to all these calls. But their resources for dealing with real emergencies were constantly being stretched thin. The US Coast Guard made it official years ago that they will no longer conduct tows – except in life-threatening or dangerous situations. That has Tiffany Lepack/METROLAND spawned a number of towing operations to spring Community - A member of the Tunis Shriners has a ‘bath’ during the Pakenham up in the United States. So American boaters are pre-Canada Day parade on June 30. forced to call and pay for a private tow if they run out of gas or break down and are not in any immediate danger. Can we expect the Canadian Coast Guard to adopt a similar policy? “Presently, the policy with the Canadian Coast Guard is to defer towing vessels that are not in distress or in non-potential distress situations to commercial tow operators which means if you are the skipper of that vessel you best be prepared to

pay for the tow,� says Miller. Now let’s say you are a responsible owner – as most owners in Canada are. You have maintained your vessel and it has plenty of fuel on board for your trip. You’ve even filed a sail plan describing in detail where you are going and when you expect to arrive and you have left your sail plan with a responsible individual for safe keeping. Excellent. Just make sure that any contact number you put on that sail plan is a number where someone can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “Don’t put your office number down,� says Miller. If the Coast Guard calls and the phone isn’t answered, a contact number isn’t much good. And, at journey’s end, he says, let everyone know that you are where you should be and everything is fine. Perhaps your best way to be prepared every time is to review your check list before you leave the dock – fuel, battery, charts, weather, instruments, safety equipment, lifejackets on, etc. You could start making that list now if you don’t already have one It’s all simple common sense, isn’t it? Preventative medicine. And it can go an awfully long way to ensuring that every time you venture out on your boat, you will be safe and you will return safely as well.

Important to be aware of food safety for older adults, Health Canada warns News – Health Canada is reminding Canadians of the importance of food safety for older adults. As we age, it becomes harder for our immune systems to fight off harmful bacteria. This means that older adults can come down with a serious illness if they eat contaminated food. For this reason, it is very important for older adults, and those who prepare food for older adults, to pay close attention to food safety when handling and preparing food. To minimize the risks of foodborne illness, older adults and caregivers should follow the four key steps to food safety: cook, clean, chill and separate. Cook Always cook food to the safe internal temperatures. You can check this by using a digital food thermometer. Colour alone is not a reliable indicator that meat is safe to eat. Meat can turn brown before all the bacteria are killed. Clean Properly clean anything that comes in contact with the food (your hands, kitchen surfaces and utensils, reusable grocery bags. This will help eliminate bacteria and reduce your risk of foodborne illness. In addition, fruits and vegetables should be washed under running water that is suitable for drinking.

Separate It is important to always separate your raw foods, such as meat and eggs, from ready-to-eat foods, such as cooked meat and vegetables, to avoid cross-contamination.

Caution: older adults should also pay close attention to what they are eating. Some foods are at a higher risk for foodborne bacteria than others. Avoid non-dried deli meats, such as bologna, roast beef, and turkey breast unless they are fully cooked. Avoid hot dogs straight out of the package. Make sure to cook hot dogs until they are steaming hot before eating them. Don’t eat raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish or seafood. Avoid refrigerated smoked fish or seafood. Avoid unpasteurized juice, cider and milk. Avoid all soft and semi-soft cheeses made from raw or unpasteurized milk. Avoid refrigerated pâtés and meat spreads and uncooked foods made from raw or unpasteurized eggs. Also, avoid raw sprouts such as alfalfa and mung beans. It is estimated that there are approximately 11 million cases of foodborne illnesses in Canada every year. Many of these cases could be prevented by following proper food handling and preparation techniques.

Nothing is more Canadian than a moose with a Canadian flag, there was no horsing around with these ponies and the big green tractor hit the streets.

BarnDoor Productions’ The Country Wife: Uproarious comedy continues two-decade tradition farce; in fact, its racy and saucy take on domestic life in Restoration England created a reaction that resulted in the show being kept off the stage from about 1720 to 1923, when his portrayal of aggressive women and flighty youth seemed to fit right in to the age of flappers and jazz. Since then, the show has regained a reputation as a genuinely funny, laugh-out-loud classic that stands up very well on the modern stage. A notorious ladies’ man, in order to increase his access to the ladies around him, spreads the false rumour that he has suffered the, ahem, “French� disease and is no longer interested in ladies. Now that he is a “safe� man, the tired old husbands around him send their young wives and relatives to him for safe-keeping. It’s a show that was such a biting send-up of life in Restoration London that it roused a lot of ire when it premiered in 1673, along with sold-out houses because it is simply hilariously funny. Of course, farce depends on the quality of its performances and BDP’s cast of 13 includes

both veterans and newcomers in a high-energy production that moves like lightning, with not a wasted moment from start to finish. Clocking in at well under two hours, including an intermission, it must be one of the tightest and slickest classic scripts around. The show is set in the original period of the 1670s making it a treat for the eyes with costumes from the “Three Musketeers� period, but staged in the simple style of the time: a set of wooden panels with two doors and a few pieces of furniture comprising most of the set. It’s the onstage action that keeps the interest high, and BDP has a long reputation for providing that. The production’s run is a little unusual, with a set of three performances beginning July 25, then a week off with the Academy For Musical Theatre scheduled to present performances in the Full Circle Theatre, then a final set of four performances Aug. 7 through 10. Before that, and during that, lovers of music can catch a couple of rare treats. On July 12, The Pacific Tunesmiths Tour comes to Perth, featuring Australia’s David

Tickets for both performances can be obtained at www.ticketsplease.ca. The Country Wife will run July 25, 26, Aug. 7, 8, 9 at 7:30 p.m. and July 27 and Aug. 10 at 1:30 p.m. at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park.

Entertainment – Perth’s original community theatre, BarnDoor Productions, continues its nearly 20 year tradition of presenting classic scripts in high-energy productions with their 2014 offering, William Wycherly’s bawdy, uproarious 1670s comedy, The Country Wife, running at the Full Circle Theatre July 25 through Aug. 10. BarnDoor Productions is coming up on its 20th anniversary season and, since their first season, the group have tried to include at least one classic play in their lineup. From light comedy, such as Molière’s The Imaginary Invalid, to the deepest drama, such as their 2005 production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and even a classic musical in the 1727 grandfather of all musicals, The Beggar’s Opera, BDP have brought exciting, vibrant life to some classic plays, beginning outdoors and now in their home at Full Circle Theatre. As always, BarnDoor tries to push the envelope and this year, it’s with a script that was, effectively, banned for over 200 years. Wycherley’s Restoration comedy could be considered the first sex

Classic Kiwi Garden tour matinees blooming Community - As one of many of its outreach tourism strategies, the Classic Theatre Festival has partnered with the renowned Kiwi Gardens in a package that is drawing interest from horticultural societies, tourists, and locals alike. The Classic Kiwi Garden Tour Matinee Special, being offered on July 17 and Thursday, Aug. 14, offers individuals a tour of the well-known Kiwi Gardens in two very different settings along with a 20 per cent discounted ticket to a Classic Theatre Festival matinee. “Whether it is promoting our restaurants, accommodations and shops to a wider audience or focusing on some of the great attractions we have in the area, especially a gem like Kiwi Gardens, we are working to promote Perth for all it has to offer, with the benefit that tourist dollars will flow into the area, our brand as a preferred destination will continue to grow, and we can help sustain the local economy by offering innovative and fresh ideas for travellers to have new reasons to come here,” says the Festival’s Associate Producer Matthew Behrens. Those who take in the hour-long Classic Kiwi Garden Tour Matinee Special at 10:30 a.m. will not only enjoy both the natural beauty and artwork

(with a Pre-Show Talk that begins at 1:30 p.m.). The 10-acre Kiwi Gardens is a Lanark county landmark that displays mature gardens that showcase a wide variety of what can be considered spectacular perennials, tucked between which are a series of art installations that give new dimension to the natural landscape, as do the stone walls and winding pathways. Visitors often remark on the calm and scenic environment. Kiwi Gardens also hosts a well-stocked nursery, with over 1,000 different varieties of perennials, along with annuals, tropicals, and artistic planters. “One of the great things about Kiwi Gardens is how the artwork is so perfectly placed that it seems to have almost sprung from the ground as one more natural wonder,” says Behrens, who notes the Gardens annually host Art in the Garden in June. “And because the Gardens undergo such dramatic changes from month to month, people who want to do the tour twice can get different perspectives in August and still enjoy the discounted matinee at the festival, which then will be the classic

D R DUNLOP WO NEW

News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has made another move to improve efficiency within one of the largest deployed police services in North America. This week the OPP unveils a new online reporting system that will enable the public to report specific occurrences from a computer. Citizen Self Reporting will offer the public another way to report select incidents that are not an emergency, by completing a report online at their convenience. The OPP is one of several Ontario police services who have

adopted an Internet-based crime reporting system where people can report certain crimes such as lost property, theft from vehicles, and property damage, without an officer having to be dispatched. Only occurrences that do not involve an injury, a suspect or evidence are applicable. An officer will attend if requested by the complainant. It is expected that Citizen Self Reporting will be beneficial to both the public and the police. It will provide a convenient alternative to the citizens of Ontario, while allowing frontline officers

Health Canada highlights dangers of marijuana use News – Recently, Health Minister Rona Ambrose hosted a roundtable with representatives of the healthcare community and research experts to discuss the scientific evidence of the risks associated with the use of marijuana by youth, especially over the long term. This meeting builds on an announcement where Ambrose announced funding for A Health Promotion and Drug Prevention Strategy for Canada's Youth – a national project led by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA). The goal of this project is to prevent illicit drug use, including marijuana, among Canadians between the ages of 10 and 24 through education, national prevention standards and building sustainable partnerships. "As health minister, I am standing side by side with medical professionals and researchers with a clear message. There are serious health risks for youth associated with marijuana. It is not safe. It should not be promoted or endorsed,” Ambrose said. “Together, with our partners we will work to make sure youth and parents have the right information about the risks associated with smoking and using marijuana." Smoking and using marijuana can be dangerous and harmful to health. It is not an approved drug or medicine in Canada and Health Canada does not endorse or promote the use of marijuana. "Research has shown the negative impact of marijuana on developing minds. As a child psychiatrist, I have seen firsthand the tragic consequences on young Canadians,” said Dr. Gail Beck, member, Canadian Medical Association board of directors. “We need to do more, and the Canadian Medical Asso-

ciation encourages a public health approach that includes a nationwide marijuana cessation campaign to ensure our youth are aware of the real risks and harms associated with marijuana usage." Quick facts • Marijuana contains hundreds of substances, some of which can affect the proper functioning of the brain and body. • Regular, long-term marijuana use in youth can harm concentration, memory, the ability to think and to make decisions, and IQ. Some of these effects may persist after stopping marijuana use. • Marijuana use may sometimes produce anxiety or nervousness, paranoia, fear or panic. • Marijuana can be addictive. • Today's marijuana is stronger than marijuana from many years ago and could put health at a greater risk of harm. • There is scientific evidence of the risks associated with the use of marijuana by youth. "The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse was pleased to participate in the (April 30) roundtable with Minister Ambrose and some of Canada's leading scientists and researchers to discuss the health risks that marijuana poses for young people. We will continue to work with Health Canada and other partners, and through our Health Promotion and Drug Prevention Strategy for Canada's Youth, to provide factual, coordinated and consistent information to help prevent marijuana use among Canadian youth,” said Michel Perron, chief executive officer of the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse.

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

News – The Public Health Agency of Canada is collaborating with provincial public health partners to investigate an outbreak of salmonellosis related to snakes and rodents used to feed reptiles, such as mice, also known as feeder rodents. The risk to Canadians is low, but anyone who is around snakes and their food could be at risk if they don’t take proper precautions to protect their health. Outbreaks associated with reptiles and feeder rodents have been seen in Canada, the United States and countries throughout Europe. Reptiles and the rodents used to feed them can carry salmonella bacteria but appear healthy and clean and show no signs of illness. Even having indirect contact with these animals or their environments can put you at risk for developing salmonellosis, for example, children playing in a room where a reptile was previously allowed to roam. In 2014, there have been 18 illnesses reported in Ontario. Three cases were hospitalized and have recovered. No deaths have been reported. Who is most at risk? Canadians who are particularly at risk for infection include babies, children five and under, pregnant women, the elderly and those with weaker immune systems. Young children are at higher risk of infection because they often enjoy handling and interacting with reptiles and may not wash their hands before putting their fingers or other contaminated items in or near their mouths. If infected, young children are also at increased risk for serious illness because their immune systems are still developing. What you should do The best way to protect yourself from developing salmonellosis is to practise good hygiene while caring for and cleaning up after your reptile. Rodents and reptiles carry salmonella as a normal part of their gut and can shed these bacteria into their environments. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after handling rodents, reptiles or anything in the area where they live or were handled. Any surface that a reptile or rodent (live or frozen) touches is considered contaminated and therefore needs to be cleaned with soap or disinfected with bleach. The habitat and contents of a reptile tank should be carefully cleaned outside of the home. Submitted by the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Eco gardens attract more than butterflies tolerant, slow-growing and lowheight turf grasses, fescues, and broadleaf species such as clover. The design possibilities for an eco-friendly front garden are endless. However, if you find the whole process overwhelming, consider hiring a landscape designer to draw up your plans. Many garden centres will provide this service for free or at a reduced rate if you buy the plants from them. A colourful spring garden can be a feast for the eyes after a long winter and can also be part of the plan to create a great first impression for your home. If you are planning on selling your home, be sure to speak to a realtor to learn more about the trends that can help make your home more attractive inside and out.

gardening and your local garden centre will have plenty of advice to share as well. Once you have a basic plan or layout, you can begin selecting plants for your garden. Look for native plants (plants that are common to your area) which tend to be hardier, more drought tolerant and pest resistant. Some common types of flowering plants include daylilies, Shasta daisy, coneflower, and Black-eyed Susan. Many of these plants are perennials which you will enjoy year after year. You can then use annuals to add splashes of colour throughout the season. Ornamental grasses have become very popular in gardens as well. Not only are they lowmaintenance and water-saving, they also look great year round. Another popular gardening trend is replacing grass with stone pavers or pebbles. Great green expanses of lawn are real water hogs that require constant mowing and maintenance. If you prefer grass, go for a low-maintenance lawn which is made up of a diverse mix of hardy, drought-

Lifestyle – Part of a realtor’s job is to stay up to date on what helps make a house attractive to potential buyers. On the list of hot trends realtors are spying these days is the eco-friendly garden. Many homebuyers are keen to purchase a home with a “green” garden for several reasons. First, eco-friendly gardens tend to be low-maintenance so less work and upkeep. Eco-gardens can also be economical and kind to the environment by using less water and inexpensive natural methods of pest-control and fertilization. “A well-tended garden can add great curb appeal to a home,” says Costa Poulopoulos, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). “For the environmentally friendly buyers out there, an eco-friendly garden can be an attractive selling feature.” Creating an eco-friendly garden is just like creating a regular garden in that you need to start with a plan. There are plenty of tips on the internet for eco-

tive director of the Canadian Parks Council. “The Canadian Parks Council is ready to join forces with others, to create new opportunities that will help maximize the many benefits of personally experiencing nature.” During the meeting, the ministers further agreed to collaborate

in developing a passport to parks, to build on existing digital tools that make it easier for Canadians to visit their parks and share best practices to expand programs such as learn-to-camp activities in more jurisdictions. Submitted by the Canadian Parks Council.

News – Canada’s parks ministers have committed to work together to creatively and collaboratively inspire Canadians to experience nature through parks in ways that support their health and well-being. The action was prompted by the first-ever comprehensive evidence-based report in Canada that chronicles the many proven benefits of spending time in nature. “Canada is fortunate to have a rich array of parks that are recognized for supporting our overall well-being, and for providing direct benefits to communities through job creation, recreation and tourism opportunities. Our government is committed to working with our partners to find ways to encourage and support Canadian families to connect with nature from coast to coast to coast,” stated Leona Aglukkaq, Canada’s Environment Minister and Minister responsible for Parks Canada.

Turning back time, one step at a time - a walk through Perth’s history Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – It’s Back to the Future meets The Odd Couple. The new historic walking tour of downtown Perth has been taking visitors and locals alike through some of the town’s many interesting stories and recognizable locations since June 25, and on July 3, the rain held off long enough for the tour to head out again. The cool weather was also a respite for the actors, like Matthew Behrens, dressed all in

black as Rev. William Bell, and Jasmine Bowen, dressed as Perth’s vaudeville sensation, May Bell, who enjoyed not having to sweat through another performance. And the good reverend made sure to make mention of his co-host’s choice of wardrobe. “Your manner of dress ill suits a lady of modesty,” said Behrens at the start of the tour at the Matheson House Museum, 11 Gore St. E., staying in character as a man of the Victorian Age, who knows

nothing of this, so-called, Canada. “That’s just a fanciful notion of few politicians,” he said. “This is Canada West, a proud colony of the British Empire.” Boy, was he in for a surprise, as he stepped outside the museum on to Gore Street East. “Look around you at how things have changed!” he said, astonished. “Look at those metal objects with wheels!” Bowen and Behrens made their way down Gore Street East, oblivious to the

crowd of 21st century onlookers following them, to the old Perth Courier office where, once again, the sound of reporters tapping at their typewriters was heard. Only now it was May 24, 1918, when the paper’s first female reporter received word about women getting the right to vote, and she buzzed to her typewriter to let the community know. “Women voting? That will be the undoing of us!” thundered Rev. Bell at the news. His co-host, however, was ecstatic.

“I knew we would get the right to vote! I didn’t know it would be so soon,” said May. The tour made its way past the Mex and Co. restaurant, and onto the banks of the Tay Canal, where a scene was played out of a scandal involving the building of the canal, and allegations of money pocketed from the sale of an island. The levity returned soon however as Bowen beheld the Crystal Palace across the parking lot. See WALKING TOUR page P5

Bereavement group moves to Smiths Falls, as of July 30 ljweir@metroland.com

Community – Community Home Support of Lanark County has a bereavement group that is moving to Smiths Falls. Starting July 30, the program will open its doors at the Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark County – located behind the health centre at 2 Gould St. “We’re moving our Carleton Place group to Smiths Falls,” said Rebecca Bowie, coordinator for Community Home Support. “It’s a good fit for us in Smiths Falls working with the Alzheimer’s Society.” That’s not to say CHS was not thankful for the support it received from Carleton Place’s Waterside Retirement Residence. “We had great support for the past two-and-ahalf years from Carleton Place’s Waterside Retirement Residence,” she said. “They gave us the space for free and we appreciate that.” In Smiths Falls, however, the bereavement group has a community partnership already in

the works and getting some referrals from the Alzheimer’s Society was a drawing feature. “It’s a good fit to help care for individuals,” Bowie said. “The Alzheimer’s Society has donated the space for us to use – and it’s a beautiful space with lots of room and a big table to use for group activities, a kitchen… it’s wonderful.” The bereavement group will hold their monthly sessions on the fourth Wednesday. “Barbara Carroll and Christa Dales Donnelly will be helping to co-facilitate the programming.” The bereavement support group is free of charge for anyone grieving from the death of a loved one. If you are suffering from the loss of an important life event – like the death of a pet, the loss of a job, retirement, or even the loss of health, there is help out there as well. Carroll, a bereavement counselor in Carleton Place, offers help to those suffering from loss of any type. For more information on this service, call her at 613-256-6646.

Community – On July 30 the Community Home Support Lanark County’s monthly bereavement support group will be held in a new location. Formerly held in Carleton Place, the group will now meet from 1 to 3 p.m. in Smiths Falls at 2 Gould St., (behind the hospital). The location is inside the Alzheimer’s Society office in Collegiate Hall. Pictured at left are Christa Dales Donnelly, Rebecca Bowie and Barbara Carroll, all of the Lanark County Hospice.

The Studio Theatre will be taking part in the activities, with two special performance at 12:30 p.m., featuring Fiddlefire!, with Chris McKhool of the Sultans of String on Saturday and The Rag and Bone puppet theatre on Sunday. >D :8I; “It’s a hot part of the day (so) this is an opportune time to D<D9<IJ get them (the kids) into a cool spot‌ out of the sun,â€? said J8M< LG KF Irvin. *#,'' While the festival appears to be spilling out from the park, the entertainment is spilling out over the calendar too. The event actually starts the day before the July 18th kick-off, with an intimate and acoustic performance by Matt Andersen and guest Danny Michel, at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore St. W. on July 17. “The (church) sanctuary is an amazing place,â€? said Irvin, of when she visited the spot and looked around. “What a gift.

“It looks like a crystal palace!� she exclaimed. “Oh now, it is but a structure made of glass,� said Rev. Bell. At the next sight, however, it was Rev. Bell’s turn to be amazed. “What in the name of all that is holy is that?� he wondered, pointing to Perth’s Mammoth Cheese, an entry at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, which took the milk of 10,000 cows to produce and weighed 22,000 pounds. Bowen informed everyone that the mammoth cheese was more talked and written about than any other exhibit at the fair. The surprises did not end there though – for either character. “Can it really be?� asked Rev. Bell, both dumbfounded and shocked. “A privy, right out here in the open?� pointing to the public washrooms beside the Crystal Palace. Opening the door and looking in, he slowly turned back around to Bowen and reported, “I’m afraid it is.� Close by however was a sight close to May’s heart. She pointed to the Drummond Street bridge, and said, wistfully, “It was the sight of our first kiss.� “Before you were married?� asked Rev. Bell, alarmed. “Why yes, reverend. A lot has changed,� she said, before revealing that, not only was she an actress, but that she had also been divorced. “You are divorced and you are still in the theatre?! You are not a lady!� said Rev. Bell, before storming off. May then took a lonely walk to the Royal Canadian Legion on Beckwith Street East, where she came upon a couple saying goodbye to each other, as the young man prepared to sign up to serve king and country for the First World War. “It’s a matter of honour,� said the young man. “We are members of the British Empire. We have to help our friends and our family overseas. This will all be over by Christmas.� “So many boys lost,� said May, as the young man walked off to war, and his love sang a soulful farewell at the wooden fence. Rev. Bell appeared again at the fence to reconcile with May, before walking over the Beckwith Street bridge with her to the curling club, where a washer woman, folding laundry on the front steps, confronts her daughter for dropping out of school to work in the shoe factory, since the men are away

fighting yet another world war. The daughter defends her decision, saying “Father may be wearing a pair of (army) boots made by his own daughter, from his very own home town.� As mother and daughter reconcile, they head home for tea – provoking outrage and relief from the reverend. “What an outrage!� he thundered. “Women wearing pants,� he said, pointing to the daughter in her Rosie the Riveter costume. “And another war,� lamented May, who believed that the Great War was to be “the war to end all wars.� But Rev. Bell reminded her that hope springs eternal in the hearts of man. “You saw the love between mother and daughter (just now)?� he asked. “That will sustain us.� He smiled again, and added that he was glad some traditions had survived into the 20th century. “I’m very glad to hear they still have tea time in the future!� he bubbled. As they walked up the hill at Harvey Street towards St. James the Apostle Anglican Church, Rev. Bell paused. “That church is high Anglican,� he said, pointing to the spire. “I’m a low Presbyterian. Would I be welcome?� “Why Reverend,� said May, surprised. “Is that a joke?� Here, he quoted Ecclesiastes 3:4, that there is “a time to weep and a time to laugh.� Around the corner, they met one of the more forgotten members of Perth’s past – Elizabeth Hughes, the woman over whom the last duel fought in Canada was made. “Such a foolish waste of human life, for the vanity of man,� said Rev. Bell, of his condemnation of dueling, though he did chastise himself for not showing her more compassion, finding her blameless in the duel. As their tour through town ended, the duo stood on the church’s front steps. “We have been given a great gift,� said Rev. Bell. “A chance to see this town anew.� “Perth Through The Ages: A Theatrical Historic Walking Tour,� sponsored by the Matheson House Museum and the Classical Theatre Festival, runs until Aug. 31, and runs Wednesday to Sunday, at 11 a.m. Meet at the museum, 11 Gore St. E., or dial 1-877-283-1283 or visit the website at classictheatre.ca for details.

Ottawa officers to police county? Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Town and township councils across Lanark County will be debating the merits of seeking a costing from the Ottawa Police Service next month. Lanark County council, at its June meeting, passed a motion to begin seeking the information from the City of Ottawa, following a meeting between County Warden Richard Kidd and Ottawa Police Services Board chair Coun. Eli El-Chantiry in May. “It’s one of those things that people talk about for years,” said Kidd during a telephone interview on Friday, July 4. “We’re finally doing something about it… politicians in Lanark County (are) doing due diligence to get the best price possible.” However, don’t expect to see Ottawa police on the streets of Perth or Carleton Place any time soon. “For it to happen, it has to be (in) a municipality that touches Ottawa,” said Kidd, narrowing the field down to Montague Township, Beckwith Township and Mississippi Mills. From there, other municipalities, if they so chose, which bordered those municipalities, could seek service. “If Beckwith gets a price, (bordering) Drummond/North Elmsley can get a price,” he said. As the reeve of Beckwith Township, he confirmed that his council would most likely be seeking costing from Ottawa. Kidd asked El-Chantiry if the city had a bylaw preventing their police force from serving areas outside of the city limits, but there were no such

laws on the books. Kidd noted that the changes were brought about as a result of the upcoming changes to the police funding formula, and how services like the OPP are paid. While the date for the unveiling of the new policing funding formula “keeps on getting put off,” now that the provincial election is out of the way, Kidd anticipates that it will be presented before the fall – and the start of the municipal election period. “It’s like a first date,” Kidd joked. “You’ll never know until you ask. (And) there’ll be a lot of details to work out,” and both sides would have to benefit from the move. He hastened to add however that “there is no complaint about the level of service,” from the OPP, which polices all of the county save for Smiths Falls, but with OPP officers getting an eight per cent raise this year alone, rising costs are a significant issue. With the new draft funding formula, towns like Carleton Place and Perth are anticipating an easing of costs, while township councils like Tay Valley worry that their policing costs could skyrocket. “Perth getting a break (with the new model) doesn’t matter,” said Kidd. “The total bill is going up.” Kidd asked “Do we need to pay to have police officers be social workers?” and conceded that the hub model of policing “could be part of (a solution),” to costs, with relevant social agencies getting involved at the outset of an investigation, if applicable, as a method of future crime prevention.

Last week’s Perth Courier erroneously stated that it was the The Lions Club event. We regret the error and embarrassment this may have caused some of our readers.

Don’t demonize refugees with cuts

O

pinion – On July 4, the Federal Court struck down as unconstitutional the 2012 decision to deny all but essential, basic health care funding to refugees through the Interim Federal Health Program. According to defence counsel, refugees were unable to get muchneeded insulin, serious eye diseases were unable to be treated, and expectant mothers were having troubles finding obstetricians to help them through their pregnancies. There was little, if any, money saved from this program’s cancellation. In fact, for some of these refugee claimants, if they ever get their citizenship, their long-term health problems could now be more serious, perhaps permanent, and could result in higher health care costs for all Canadians. Even if the system is being abused, it is not being abused by all. But all are being punished anyway. In announcing the end of the program in 2012, a spokesman for then-Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said that “Canadians have been clear that they do not want illegal immigrants and bogus refugee claimants receiving gold-plated health care benefits that are better than those Canadian taxpayers are receiving.” There are more than a few problems with what Kenney’s wingman said two years ago, apart from demonizing the other. If they are indeed illegal immigrants, why not deport them, and leave the real refugees be? Also, if the refugee is “bogus,” again, there are tools at your disposal to send them packing. Immigration never has a hard time finding and deporting hard-working, otherwise law-abiding families whose only crime was to jump the cue and

L

live here illegally. Deal with those who are abusing it, not those who need it. The 2012 decision makes rejected refugee claimants eligible for care only when they pose a threat to public health. This presents a risk to the Canadian public because they are at a risk of contamination and spreading disease around. And if they are cagey about seeing a doctor, wondering who will pick up the tab, who makes the determination if they pose a risk? This decision, there is no reason for it, while far more important issues lie crying for attention. One of the frustrating parts of this scandal, is the latent racism at play here. They’re not from here, so they don’t deserve to be treated like us, is one line of thinking. The other is that these people are landing at the airport, and making a bee-line for the welfare office and then a quick hop over to the hospital, to suck the system dry. This urban legend is unhealthy and not based in fact. Granny being brought in from India, or Ireland, or China, has to wait as much as a decade before she can access the Canadian health care system for free. In the meantime, her family must also pick up any welfare costs. There is a very real cost for immigrant families who sponsor their relatives over here. True, the refugee system is different. There are bad apples in the bunch. The Federal Court ruling was unusually direct in its summation. Justice Anne Mactavish wrote that the cuts constituted “cruel and unusual” treatment. Politics being what it is, if it squanders its resources on pettiness now, how will it handle a real crisis, not a made-up one, in the future?

Singing kitty songs ‘like no one’s watching’

ifestyle - I am all for the concept of dancing “like no one’s watching.” I should do this more because dancing is a lot more exercise than, say “doing random silly things like no one’s watching,” which is more my thing. Some days I forget I’m not 17 anymore, which is a good state of mind as long as the people near you happen to understand the Monty Python and Star Trek: The Next Generation references. I’m bringing this up because every once in a while I am reminded that even if I were to flail about doing a Silly Walk “like no one’s watching,” the kids probably are. At this point in parenthood I’m pretty sure there is nothing I would be able to do to salvage any sort of notion that “Mom is not crazy.” That’s okay. Quite simply, the short people have known me too long and the Neurolyzer (memory eraser) is in the shop. I’ve also given up

on the thought that I’ll ever be “the cool mom.” I’ve just never been the “cool” anything, so I don’t expect it to start now. Also okay. Every so often, though, I catch the mortified looks on my kids’ faces as I blast a song on the radio and replace all the lyrics with “kitty kitty kitty meow meow meow” and I think, “What stories are they going to tell about me when I’m dead?” It won’t be pretty. (And no one will say, “She never yelled.”) That kitty-meow thing, for instance, happens a lot. Lyrics don’t stick like they used to, and please don’t ask me to recite any Shakespearean soliloquies. Sometimes something strikes me as funny and I never let it go. Many friends can attest to this. Whether it’s a character flaw or a cute idiosyncrasy likely depends on who is involved and how long ago it happened. That kind of thing can have a pretty

short shelf life with kids, especially if their friends are involved. Here’s an example. One evening Boychild was on the phone with a friend. They were on speaker because they were playing a game on the computer together. (It’s how kids play these days, which is a whole other topic.) Anyway, I walked through the room and heard the friend eating something crunchy. “What are you eating?” I called. I’m super friendly that way. The kids love it. (Ha.) The friend didn’t miss a beat. “Bullets,” he said.

“Oh,” I said. “They sound crunchy.” “They’re deep fried,” he said. I walked out of the room snorting with laughter. Man, I love it when kids have a sense of humour. Of course now every time I see or hear this kid I suggest garnishes for his deep-fried bullets, such as parmesan cheese and garlic and parsley. He takes it well, but I do get the odd “Cut it out, Mom!” from Boychild on this topic. Let it go, Mom. Go sing about kitties in a room with the door closed, for meowing out loud. It’s quite a challenge to fall somewhere between “cool” and “like no one’s watching,” for sure. Here’s another example. Some of you may know I have a penchant for dressing up in pioneer costume. Actually, “penchant” is totally not the right word. I volunteer at Murphys Point and sometimes wear a pioneer dress at events. Occasionally Girlchild joins me on

these forays. She, too, has a pioneer dress, thanks to one of the intrepid Friends of Murphys Point volunteers. Recently, after a particularly fun stint of volunteering at an open house at the Silver Queen Mine, I got peppered with questions on the way home about how she could get a job at the park someday. Aw! Sniff. This is getting into chipoff-the-old-block territory. After all, I worked at Murphys for three years as a student. She’s only eight, so she’s got a few years to wait. Anyway, I played it cool. I didn’t sob or break into song or do a Silly Walk or command “Make it so” and order a cup of hot Earl Grey tea or anything. After all, this is about what SHE is enjoying, not me reliving my youth. Besides I can relive my youth “like no one’s watching” and blare ’80s hits (or some other decade that doesn’t make me seem old) in the home office when the kids aren’t home. “Make it so.”

Freeman won’t run, but seniors do, and other musings Happy retirement to long-time councillor Long-time municipal politician Susan Freeman recently announced she won’t be running again in this fall’s election. Following 14 years sitting on the Tay Valley Township council, Susan has been an integral part of the township’s political sphere. She’s also served on the Lanark County municipal platform and has corresponded with a number of provincial delegates during this time. At each of these meetings, it’s

clear Freeman is well versed on the topics up for discussion and she took the time to ask the questions to get the needed answers. She’s also a journalist’s dream, as she wasn’t afraid to state her opinion on any matter. It’s unimaginable how many hours Susan has put into municipal politics, working to make her community operate in a fiscally responsible manner. For that, she should be commended for her dedication, and we should raise a glass in her honour and wish her a happy po-

litical retirement. A seniors’ section for the Kilt Run? In the previous Private I column, I asked for your feedback on the Perth Kilt Run. Jim Deacove says he’d like to see a Seniors’ Walking Division or what

he called, the Seniors’ Saunter. That way, the run isn’t as daunting and would likely encourage more participation from the young at heart. Good idea, Jim. Sears expected to re-open in Perth this August Tom Vickers made a recent announcement that he plans to open a Sears Hometown Store this August in Perth. He’s making the move after working for Blair and Son Furnishings for 16 years. The store will be located beside the LCBO in the Perth Mews Mall and will include appliances,

mattresses, outdoor equipment and the catalogue centre. All the best, Tom! Walks with Tux I have been taking Tux out to Otty Lake for some after-dinner swims and I keep noticing the former Darou farm barn on Rideau Ferry Road. It’s slated to be taken down in the near future. A painting has surfaced on the barn’s north side, and I wondered if it was a nighthawk artist making his or her mark, or whether the painting has more significant meaning. To uncover this mys-

tery, I conducted some intense digging (I emailed someone) to inquire further. The Town’s Director of Community Services, Shellee Evans, told me that it was, in fact, graffiti. The town’s policy is to remove graffiti from all town-owned property. Painting it all white was the easiest way to accomplish this considering Warren Hollis will be removing the barn in the next few weeks. Have a Private I story idea for me? Please send me a note at cathyjames@live.ca

Holding my daughters close, watching the news us children’s movies from beyond the Disney collection. One movie was a 1979 part-liveaction, part cartoon Australian movie The Little Convict. It seemed to tick all the right boxes for what you would expect from an Australian movie. Precocious kid, cute koala, love interest, upper class idiot British overlords, and our Rolf as narrator. For a children’s movie, it was quite glum – a young English boy sent to hard labour in the colonies, but now, as the father of two little girls myself, I shudder at the scenes I remember of Harris in the movie. He played a kindly, grandfatherly type who, unable to sell his paintings (even after a bravura performance of “Jake the Peg” to open the movie) tells a story to his granddaughter. Already I’m vibrating, wondering if he did anything to that little one. It is ironic that the movie Harris was unable to sell his paintings for, in real life, Harris work was able to fetch up to one million British pounds sterling. After his conviction, galleries around the world are quietly purging works by Harris from their collections. One collector told The Times she would simply put a match one Harris work, bought for 50,000 pounds. Back to the movie, it ends with Harris and his movie granddaughter looking about the fair they are attending – with Harris pointing out the descendants from the tale of early Australia, including children on a ferris wheel. Again, as a father, the stomach churns to see such a scene now, especially when British media are reporting that crown prosecutors will not put Harris on trial for allegedly downloading sexual images of children on to his computer. I am able to salvage some good from the movie, even if Harris is involved. There is an old folk song, originally British but later modified to an Irish version, “Whiskey on a Sunday.” Upon hearing it, I was instantly struck by it, and could not get it out of my head. I

“Sure he’ll break the needle if he plays that bloody thing one more time,” I could imagine my mother saying, peeking in through the door from the kitchen. Ironically, that song, originally written by Glyn Hughes as a folk revival number, was about an old street entertainer in Liverpool (or Dublin, depending on the version), who would perform with little wooden dolls for the amusement of children. Far from the Bevington Bush Hotel in Liverpool where

the Jamaican entertainer Seth Davy worked his magic until 1904 – according to the song – putting on “a far better show than you ever would see/in the fanciest theatre in town,” and more than a century later, last Friday Mr. Justice Sweeney looked down from his bench at London’s Southwark Crown Court and told another foreigner who liked to entertain children that “you have shown no remorse for your crimes at all.

later asked my father about it, and though a little pleasantly taken aback to that someone my age would want to hear an old Irish folk song, he went to the LPL collection, and pulled out a 1968 album by Dublin singer Danny Doyle. His version of the song was Number One on the Irish charts that year, and my father set up the LP for me on the turntable. It is the first song I have listened to over, and over, and over again. I am sure my parents were in the kitchen, listening in.

Opinion – All glory is fleeting and, so too, is our innocence. The end of innocence should come with intellect, maturity, experience. Sometimes it is snatched away too soon, violently, suddenly, with lasting scars. The name Rolf Harris is probably not as well known here as it is in Britain or in his native Australia but he was, for years, the very face of familyfriendly entertainment, so-called “light entertainment.” If he was American, he would be playing the grandfather in any number of Disney movies now. Think of, say, the cultural capital carried by Bob Saget in the early 1990s when he was the dad on Full House and was hosting America’s Funniest Home Videos. He was well known, and loved, by my Irish parents. Somewhere in their vast LP collection, my mother had an old ’60s vinyl of Harris’, a collection of his novelty songs like, “Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport,” and “Jake the Peg and His Extra Leg.” My mother, during her storytelling sessions, would tell us about this funny fellow from Down Under who would draw silly cartoons, popularized the didgeridoo, sing, joke, and be the life and soul of the party. Someone she could easily go for a pint with (indeed, she did go for drinks with Sir Peter Ustinov in Dublin and his friends, Limerickman Richard Harris and others, but that’s a column for another day.) Not only did he paint the Queen’s portrait in 2005, he hosted TV shows like Animal Hospital, he performed at the Glastonbury Festival as a type of ironic, almost kitsch act with youngsters connecting with their youth (Dolly Parton headlined there recently.) Again, think Fred Penner playing Edgefest or something. But of late, Harris, 84, has been making headlines for all of the wrong reasons. He was convicted earlier this summer of 12 counts of sexual assault, of four women and girls as young as seven from 1968 to 1986. He groomed his daughter’s best friend and began assaulting her at age 13. My father is a great man for movies. VHS tapes seemed to line an entire wall in the living room, as he exposed us to all sorts of weird and wonderful movies from the world over, showing

Give my regards to Harper Road: Morris leaves Tay Valley for Smiths Falls Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Tay Valley Township’s Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) is bidding the township offices adieu and, under the cover of summer, is taking up a similar position in Smiths Falls. Not that he isn’t leaving a legacy behind, and work still in the middle of being realized. On the afternoon we meet, July 4, summer students are busy outside of his Glen Tay office cataloguing and filing the last of a veritable mountain of paperwork from the old amalgamated townships, another work in progress. His decision to return to an urban setting was made about three weeks ago. “It came together rather quickly,” he admitted, taking a seat in his office. “It was a decision that was, I admit, wasn’t an easy one…it (Tay Valley) is a phenomenal place to work.” The Elgin resident has worked for the township for the last two-and-a-half years, but while he has enjoyed his time there, “sometimes opportunities come along when you least suspect them to. I’m sad to leave but, at the same time, I’m glad to start something new.” He credits the strength of the coun-

cil, and that their priorities and ethics were simpatico with those of staff, for the good atmosphere at the municipal offices. He says it is “rare to find a fit of values,” something he notes makes life easier “when you are not in a moral struggle.” While Morris’ arrival in Smiths Falls is being met with applause at town hall, some elements operating on social media have criticized the move, saying that his firing as CAO of Leeds and the Thousand Islands township means that Morris is arriving in town with some baggage. “Leeds and the Thousand Islands made a decision that led to my departure (there),” he said in responding to the online comments. “I don’t think that it (the firing) is relevant at all,” he said, noting that he had received good performance review marks up until his departure, and that he had previously been with the City of Kingston for 21 years without a problem, followed by his time in Tay Valley, similarly, without a hiccup. “I think that that speaks volumes about my staying power,” said Morris. “I try not to be distracted by anonymous judgments…(I am) departing Tay Valley

Southwark Crown Court and told another foreigner who liked to entertain children that “you have shown no remorse for your crimes at all. Your reputation lies in ruins, you have been stripped of your honours, but you have no one to blame but yourself.” He then sentenced Harris to five years and nine months in jail for his crimes. Today, the music in our house continues. My father is now “Grandad” to the girls, and I delighted, out of the corner of my eye, as I drove the bumper

car with Michaela at Fantasy Fair in Toronto – where Daddy had taken my brother, sister, and I as children in our youth – as he stood on the sidelines, dancing with the infant Loughlin, crooning an Elvis Presley love song to her with his Irish lilt, a bemused look on her face. That’s true love for a child, true entertainment for a child there. And yes, tonight, as I try to get Loughlin to sleep, I may well play “Whiskey on a Sunday,” for her – Doyle’s version, not Harris’.

Malcolm Morris on the best of terms.” During his time at Tay Valley, he checked off a list of accomplishments he is proud to have had a hand in, such as: • fleet renewal project, • enhancements to waste management, • asset management plan, • strategic plan. “We are now diverting electronic waste and getting paid for it,” said Morris with a touch of excitement in his voice, talking about the waste diversion system in place, and the reuse centre run by volunteers. “That was a proud accomplishment.” Another high point is how far along the plans for Tayside Estates in Glen Tay, with 25 executive lots, has progressed, one aspect of fostering strong economic development ties with the community that has taken place, such as forming closer ties with the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce. One of the spin-offs of this initiative has been the creation of a sustainable economic development working group. “We have planted and cultivated a number of seeds that will bear fruit as

we move forward,” he said. “It’s been fun. We’ve had fun as we’ve been doing it. We all need to enjoy our journey. That summarizes my time here.” His last day will be July 31, and he starts work in Smiths Falls on Aug. 5, the day after the August long weekend. Amanda Mabo will be the interim acting CAO, and a new CAO will be selected by a committee in either September or October. Donna Cyr is the new treasurer, who will replace the retiring Peter Tranter. Though born in Kingston, he was raised in Seeley’s Bay. He attended Seneca College in the Toronto neighbourhood of North York where he studied resources engineering, what would now be called environmental engineering. He soon found work after graduation at the City of Kingston working in the engineering department. One day, he heard “this new thing called recycling came along and they said ‘Do you want to lead that?’” He jumped at the opportunity and his first assignment was to put up blue box posters around Kingston’s downtown, promoting the program. Enacting behavioural change was “no easy task, I can assure you,” but, in time, Kingston could boast of an 80 per cent participation rate. In time, he led the Kingston Area Recycling Corporation. “We were nimble and fast-paced and expanding,” he said of the company. “It was a very formative time in my career,” he said. Other aspects of city planning were less glamorous, but no less necessary – designing sewers and water distribution systems, and leading sidewalk construction, taking on the manager’s job of solid waste, looking after hot properties – like landfills. The year 1999 saw him take a sudden shift in direction within the city government, when he was made manager of

Kingston Transit. “I didn’t know much about transit other than three years riding the Toronto Transit Commission in Toronto,” during his college days, he said. “It (the corporation) was troubled,” but he went to work “turning it around. I was able to build the organization up.” He improved ridership numbers, service, and rebranded the company. “It was an important change for the organization,” he said. “We needed to expand the services we provided.” He soon approached city council with a radical idea – a transportation department, to handle roads, transit, even the city’s airport. Not only was it approved, he was asked if he wanted to lead it. While managing a city’s transit system may be the pinnacle of someone’s career, Morris wanted more. “I knew, at some point, I wanted to be a CAO,” he said, having learned from some role models and mentors, and wanting to enact positive change from town hall. “(Municipalities) are, in my estimation, the most nimble form of government and we are the closest to the people,” he said. “The art is to understand what people want.” He got his wish in 2005, taking up the CAO position at Leeds and the Thousand Islands. Afterwards, he did work in the private sector in the transportation industry, which gave him a fresh perspective. “It’s a good idea to be grounded and see how the private sector works,” said Morris. But he was not able to stay away from municipal government for long, joining Tay Valley in January of 2012 as CAO. “Now, life got really good,” he said. “I came back with a different perspective and a more balanced one, to understand the imperatives within the private sector. “You need to listen to people.”

YAK’s Young Leaders summer camp returns Community – Perth’s Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) is happy to announce its Young Leaders Summer Camp for 2014! Open to Youth 10 and up, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. throughout the summer months until Aug. 29. Thanks to a grant from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, YAK will be hosting summer long Sports and Healthy Living themed day camps for youth 10 years of age and up. In celebration of the upcoming Pan Am and Para Pan Am Games that will be held in Toronto in 2015, youth across the province are being encouraged to get up, get active and get moving. During the day camps at YAK, the centre’s staff will be combining the active living component with a variety of other activities that encourage team building, community involvement and of course a lot of fun! Theme weeks and weekly adventures, beaches, Calypso Water Park, and Kingston to name a few. Healthy lunches and two snacks provided daily, encouraging youth engagement in the kitchen. Youth can register to attend on a daily or weekly basis. The cost for the camp is $20 a day, or $75 a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday,

with a possible additional cost for Epic Wednesday Adventures). Summer Camp drop-off will be at YAK Youth Centre, 1 Sherbrooke St. E. in Perth. Camp begins at 9 a.m. and at 3 p.m. Of course YAK’s regular Outreach, Drop In, Young Entrepreneurs and Dinner programs will run through the summer as well. These free evening programs are offered while the youth centre is open Mondays to Thursdays from 2 to 7 p.m. and Fridays until 9 p.m. Day campers are welcome to stay for the fun. To register, stop by or call YAK Youth Centre to pick up a registration form. All details are on YAK’s website as well at www.yakyouth.ca, or on Facebook: YAK Youth Services. For more information, please contact YAK’s Summer Camp Coordinator, Kim Angell at 613-264-8381 or email yakyouthcentre@gmail.com. YAK is a not for profit charitable organization that helps youth from all walks of life realize their potential, gain confidence and make a difference in their community. YAK is a label free, safe, supervised space with engaging programs and awesome snacks. Stop by for a tour weekdays after 2 p.m. or visit us at the Stewart Park Festival if you would like to see YAK in action.

DeSalvo, Stanley – who passed away July 14, 2013. Partings come and hearts are broken Loved ones go with words unspoken Deep in my heart a memory is kept For a husband and friend I won’t forget Some day I hope to meet you Some day, I know not when To clasp your hand in a better land never to part again. Lonely is my home without you life to me is not the same This world would be like heaven Just to have you back again In quiet thoughts I live again The days that used to be Rich in kindness, love and care How dear you were to me. I lost my life’s companion A life linked with my own You’re still mine to remember A husband proud to own Many tears I’ve shed since I lost you Many more will continue to fall You took my happiness with you The happiest hours of all. Sadly missed, Jane

options.� Travel insurance can include anything from trip cancellation, trip interruption, travel delay, accidental death or dismemberment, medical and dental care, transportation to/from medical facilities at home or abroad, loss of luggage or personal possessions, to protection against the bankruptcy or default of your cruise line or tour operator. There are a lot of options and a lot of information to go through. In order to make the best and most appropriate decision, CAANEO has a few basic questions and guidelines for travellers to keep in mind when booking travel outside Ontario. The first thing is to investigate what may already be covered before deciding what extras are needed. Personal and work medical plans may offer coverage outside of Canada, however be sure to check and see if any countries are excluded. In some cases even though an individual has medical coverage through work, they may be required to pay out of pocket for treatment or other medical emergency services and then file a reimbursement claim. A good out of province plan will cover costs up front and reimburse providers directly, protecting the traveller from unexpected out-of pocket expenses. Ultimately the traveller will have to decide what is best and most appropriate for them. Along with reconfirming what is covered though existing personal or work coverage, the same should be done for any insurance coverage offered by a credit card. It should not be assumed that a credit card will cover all specifics like travel delays, trip cancellation and interruption. Unless the terms and conditions are accessible and are fully read and understood there is a chance that the user could be exposed to financial loss. When booking a trip, travellers should not hesitate to ask questions to their existing and potential providers and use scenarios to clarify answers until they are satisfied. Some key ques-

tions to ask include: • What is the maximum coverage limit? • Do coverage limits exist on specific benefits? • What pre-existing conditions are not covered? (Regardless of whether or not you are required to fill out a medical declaration). • Do I need to call the assistance line before choosing a hospital or clinic? • Does the cancellation/interruption coverage apply before and after departure? • Are missed connections and other unforeseen travel delays covered? • What services are available on the 24/7 emergency assistance line? (Translators, medical professionals etc.) • If drugs or medical equipment are prescribed are they covered as well? • How will family members be contacted in an emergency? • Can I buy extra coverage to enhance my coverage from work? Booking a trip requires a great investment of money and time, and because of that having the comfort of being covered for any little surprise that may happen can give an individual complete peace of mind before and during their vacation. It is important to remember that financial issues, accidents and emergencies can happen anywhere at any time and everyone should have the right protection and coverage when they travel. For detailed information on the wide range of services available with CAA North & East Ontario, please visit caaneo.ca or in person at any of our storefront locations. CAA North & East Ontario provides roadside assistance to members, along with an extensive array of travel and insurance services designed to suit the individual needs, wants and expectations of our members.

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

Tunesmiths performs in Perth Saturday Community - Two of the most talented and respected songwriting troubadours who make their respective homes on either side of the Pacific Ocean, will share a stage in Perth on Saturday, July12 at the Full-Circle Theatre. David Ross MacDonald (from Australia) and Miss Emily Brown (of British Columbia) are bringing their “acoustic summersong harvest” – they’ve entitled the Pacific Tunesmiths Tour – to Perth in a special presentation cosponsored by Incident At Shakey Acres and MERA. Australian singer-songwriter and fingerstyle guitar wizard MacDonald is no stranger to local audiences, having appeared in recent years at the Blue Skies Festival and in concerts at the MERA Schoolhouse. His performance at Blue Skies in 2010 was particularly memorable for the appearance of a shooting-star during his rendition of “Waltzing Matilda,” for which he had asked the stage crew to turn out all the lights. Formerly a drummer with the acclaimed Australian folk group The Waifs, MacDonald’s first solo album, 2003’s Southern Crossing, was a collection of original fingerstyle guitar instrumentals. The next year’s release of Far From Here revealed his substantial talents as a singersongwriter. Acoustic Guitar Magazine likened MacDonald’s vocals, lyrics, and intricate fingerstyle guitar style to “a collaboration between Nick Drake and a mid1970s Bruce Cockburn.” American Songwriter Magazine called MacDonald “one of those few songwriters… that can captivate his listeners armed only with a voice and guitar.” Such glowing reviews won’t surprise anyone who has heard MacDonald’s four CDs or seen him perform at international festivals including Australia’s Woodford, Port Fairy, Apollo Bay and National as well as Canadian events including the Blue Skies Festival, Mariposa, Edmonton, Stan Rogers, Stewart Park, Live from Red Rock and Ness Creek Festivals. Having played with and opened for luminaries such as John Renbourne, Tony McMannus, Kelly Jo Phelps and Chris Smither, MacDonald constantly tours internationally armed with

Miss Emily Brown

David Ross MacDonald his 1935 Gibson guitar and a carpet bag of songs that he illuminates in his own inimitably reserved yet intense, poetic style. More recently, MacDonald has joined the growing number of aficionados of the poetry and songwriting of Miss Emily Brown. “Two summers back I was performing at the Artwells music festival in the BC Rockies,” says MacDonald, “ and was told in no uncertain terms from a trusted musical confidant to check out an artist. “The twilight festooned festival is nestled within the goldrush era rustic rambling hamlet of Wells and it’s a gorgeous get if you ever pass that way, which you rarely would, because the road through ends a few miles up the valley because there is a mountain range in the way. “Anyways, I couldn’t get into the 150 year old timbered hall because it was absolutely jammed to the rafters, totally packed, the way that Tokyo likes to pack in their rush hour subway commuters into a subway carriage. I couldn’t get in at all without climbing over the top of the fest-goers like a sheepdog during shearing muster, bummer! What was going on in there?

“But what was more intriguing than the throng was the silence. You know that kind where there are hundreds of people fully intent and focussed in on the moment with every sense drawn to the un-amplified and totally acoustic performer before them? “It was eerie and I wanted to see what was going on, so I snuck ‘round the back armed with my artist pass to crash the gig. “But I wasn’t alone. All the performing festival A-listers were jammed in the wings craning around the backstage doorway taking in the performance... I slid underneath them and sat shoulder-to-hippy-shoulder style and watched bewitched while Miss Emily Brown melted the hearts in that packed house down to the souls amalgam of love, loss, hope and beauty.” Fusing the art-forms of poetry and song, Brown navigates the space between silence and sound with her unmistakable voice. Brown delivers decadently visual lyrics with pin-drop power across musical landscapes where folk, jazz, pop and electronic elements freely coexist. In six short years, she has produced four solo albums and three collaborative albums with West Coast chamber-folk ensemble Morlove. Nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for Pushing the Boundaries, a CBC Radio Bucky Award for Best New Artist, and put forward for the coveted Polaris Prize, Miss Emily Brown is currently preparing to record her next, highly anticipated full-length album. Understated, surprising and genuine, Miss Brown’s craft verges on the elemental and the timeless. Her touch is subtle. Her music is oceanic, huge. Fast-forward to a music conference in Toronto last October where MacDonald reminded Brown of that Wells ‘event’ and the two of them co-conspired to put together this summer’s double-bill tour of Ontario and Quebec. David Ross MacDonald and Miss Emily Brown appear at the Full-Circle Theatre in Perth (26 Craig St.) on Saturday, July 12 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $22 in advance and $24 at the door. They are available at Tickets Please at 39 Foster St. In Perth (Jo’s Clothes), by phone at 613-485-6434 or online at www.ticketsplease.ca.

school’s junior and senior teams tend to breed players with whom he does not face any discipline problems. The program was started by Joe Marriner, then head of the PDCI physical education program back in 1989, along with Marriner’s brother-in-law from Stratford, Martin Ritsma. About 18 years ago, the student became the teacher when Bellamy took over operations. “They started this camp and asked me to work at it,” said Bellamy. The “Small Ball” program

is another important part of the overall camp, and Bellamy likes the fact that “at five and six years old, and it is a lot easier to acquire skills.” Overall, no matter the age, “we emphasize character and discipline. We don’t judge, we share.” While Bellamy strives to be a good example to his students, at camp and at school, he can also point to another example on the National Basketball Association’s courts, and the NBA 2014 champions, the San Antonio Spurs. Some had called the Spurs too

old to win the championships, but they prevailed this year. “It’s a great example,” said Bellamy of the Texas team, with the Spurs emphasizing “team play, skill and effort. They were phenomenal.” He admitted that they are “seen as a pretty boring team… they don’t have (players like) LeBron James, but they were great to watch,” as were players like Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. He called them “great NBA role models (who) exhibit (a) great team first, not me first (attitude).”

Glenn is new head coach, GM for Perth Jr. B Blue Wings STAFF

Sports – Colin Glenn is the new head coach and general manager of the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings. Owner, Michael McLean made the announcement late Tuesday afternoon. “We are proud to announce Colin Glenn as the new head coach and general manager of the Perth Blue Wings,” said McLean. “Colin served as GM and assistant coach last season and is certainly more than qualified to lead our

hockey club into the 2014-15 EOJHL season. “Colin is an excellent coach. A winner at all levels he has competed at - a great leader, family man and father. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Colin last season. We share a very similar coach philosophy - based on extreme hard work, mental and physical discipline and a commitment to team play at all times. Colin is the natural pick for this position.” McLean said he was excited about the new

game promotions coming along with family entertainment packages to be offered this season. “This year every game will be an entertainment ‘event’,” McLean said. “Music, laser lights, video, prizes, giveaways, etc.” Season tickets will be going on sale the first week of August and training camp is set to open the first week of September.

Sports – Perth and District Collegiate Institute’s Hoops Camp celebrated 25 years this week of priming up-and-coming basketball talent. And it does not hurt that a lot of those young people happen to go on to do their bit for PDCI’s basketball program. The week-long Hoops Camp was held at The Stewart School this week because of renovations at PDCI. One thing that did not changed was the participation of coach Kevin Bellamy, who has attended each and every one of the camps – starting as a Grade 12 basketball player himself. “I don’t feel that old,” said Bellamy with a laugh as he followed a co-ed group of older students inside from the menacing skies after practicing some team play outside on Monday, July 7. “It certainly sounds old.” The program is the only one of its kind in Lanark County and so draws young people from all over – including not only cottagers but also children from Ottawa and Peterborough. “It makes the camp very, very good,” said Bellamy. “It adds to the talent pool.” About 52 children are taking part this year, and as many as 15 had to be turned away because of lack of space. The ‘talent pool’ that has grown over the years has produced the likes of Carleton University star Mike Kenny who won several national championships with the Ravens. But the program is also a good incubator for future PDCI talent – and makes his job as a high school coach and teacher easier. “It makes things enjoyable to me because we already have that relationship,” said Bellamy. “(Basketball) that is my passion. But I also love teaching.” He admits that the Hoops Camp does “set yourself for success as a basketball program.” He also noted that alumni from the program who go onwards to the high

Perth Special Olympics, Knights of Columbus to host Hometown Games News - Since the beginning of Special Olympics, there have been countless stories about the difference the organization makes in the lives of athletes, their families, volunteers and the general public. These stories have been powerful and inspiring, and they have been opening doors and touching hearts for more than four decades. In 2008, Special Olympics conducted a series of systematic surveys and interviews of over 5000 athletes, parents and coaches around the world. The resulting facts and figures prove that the stories are not just isolated incidents and that Special Olympics is not just nice, it is important. Worldwide, the study demonstrated that individuals involved with Special Olympics experienced significant improvement in their sports skills. The athletes also reported engaging in more physical activity beyond their Special Olympics involvement, demonstrating that they are often more physically active than members of the general population. Not surprisingly, these athletes also benefit from the social skills and friendships inherent in Spe-

cial Olympics activities. Ninety per cent of family members report improvement in the athletes’ social skills and friendships. Many report that the pleasure they receive far outweighs what they give. The research supports this. Volunteers around the world reported a variety of benefits including personal satisfaction, increased tolerance and reexamination of personal values. Special Olympics Perth has a few openings for coaches and assistants. As a coach or assistant with our soccer or baseball programs in the summer, or the fall and winter basketball or bowling teams, you can contribute by helping our athletes improve their physical literacy, while sharing your love of sport. As one volunteer remarked “It’s an honour to coach these athletes. They teach me as much, if not more, than what I teach them.” If you have a few hours per month, and want to contribute behind the scenes, Special Olympics Perth is also has a few openings on their Board of Directors. We are looking for individuals to direct a small amount of time, en-

ergy and talent to Special Olympics Perth. Generally, our Board meets once/month from SeptemberJune. Joining as a coach, assistant or board member enables you to make a direct impact on the quality of life of individuals with an intellectual disability and a meaningful contribution to your community. You will get to experience the satisfaction of helping others develop and succeed in sport and life. The perfect introduction to our Special Olympics programs is happening Saturday Aug. 9 at the annual Home Town Games Soccer Tournament at Conlon Farm. Special Olympics Perth is grateful to the Knights of Columbus for organizing this extraordinary event for our athletes. The day begins at 8:30 a.m. with words by Perth Mayor John Fenik, and the parade of athletes will be piped in. Tournament play is held all morning, with a break for lunch. The Special Olympics All-Stars will also be playing against the Law Enforcement Torch Run Team at 1 p.m. All are welcome to come

Annual boatilla achieves outstanding results for Camp Merrywood Sports - On Saturday, June 28, Buck Lakers gathered for the 10th time in as many years on the south branch of Buck Lake to realize the culmination of a two-month fund raising program to send physically challenge kids and youth to Easter Seals Camp Merrywood on the Big Rideau. “It’s an annual event that has grown continually over the years and each year the community involvement and commitment has become broader and deeper,” noted long-time Buck Lake resident Saundra Rider. “Ten years ago we started off small with a desire

to raise enough money to send one kid to Easter Seals campwhich we did. But each year we seemed to get better at getting the community involved.” As of last year the boatilla had raised over $108,000 and sent 54 kids to camp. About 150 residents and 26 boats were involved in the twohour event last month which started with a boat tour of the south branch of Buck Lake and ended with a community barbecue and celebration at Hidden Valley Camp Grounds. The check presentation was the highlight of

the afternoon. As usual, the treasurer of the Boatilla Liz GrahamTrudel kept everyone in suspense as to how much was raised to send physically challenged kids and youth to Easer Seals camp Merrywood. “It’s amazing how the local and extended communities of Buck Lake come together for a common goal,” she said. “We have people, groups and businesses from Verona, Sydenham, Glenburnie, Belleville, Lancaster, Toronto, Kingston and even as far away as Pennsylvania who donate to our effort. Our extended

Buck Lake family is quite special in supporting our cause.” “The generosity and commitment of the local community is quite exceptional and disproportionate to our size,” said Ross Trudel, long-time boatilla chairman. “It is remarkable what a small community of about 350 can accomplish when they set their minds to it. Look at our own Perth Road Store. They decided they wanted to send one kid to camp by themselves and raised over $2,500 to do just that.” At the end of the barbecue

and with much anticipation the mystery check was unveiled to the waiting crowd. “As this was our 10th year for the boatilla we decided for the first time to set a goal of $25,000 which would permit us to sponsor 10 kids at Camp Merrywood, “‘10 in10’ was our motto for this year and we did it by the skin of our pants raising $25,014,” said Duncan Sinclair Buck Lake resident and organizer. “It was a substantial challenge and everyone came through substantially.” In 10 years the Buck Lake Boatilla has raised over $132,000

and have sent 64 kids and youth to Easter Seals Camp Merrywood. The Buck Lake Boatilla steering committee expresses appreciation to local and extended Buck Lake families for their continued and generous support to the boatilla that allows physically challenged kids and their families to enjoy what we at Buck Lake do every day. Remember, “It is all about the kids.” Submitted by the Buck Lake Boatilla steering committee

Laurie Weir/METROLAND

Vet Ride Community – The Perth Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 244, parking lot was filled with motorcycles on Saturday morning as the third annual SD&G Highway 43 Memorial Ride kicked off on its way through eastern Ontario to Morrisburg. The event honours all veterans and raises funds and awareness for their project – Operation Leave the Streets Behind for the Homeless Veterans Assistance Fund. The fund provides help for Ontario vets for housing, furniture, food and medical care in their time of need. After breakfast hosted by the Legion, the riders took to the streets through Perth, Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Kemptville on the way to Alexandria, then back to Morrisburg where they stopped at the Legion. There were several Legion pit stops along the route with prizes for the best poker hand awarded at their destination. The event raised $19,160 last year. Final figures for this year’s ride were not available at press time.

The published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

Adrienne Kress performs in classic Broadway comedy at Perth Festival’s fifth anniversary Community – Adrienne Kress, an award-winning author of Alex and the Ironic Gentleman and The Friday Society, is taking the stage in a swinging ‘60s comedy, Neil Simon’s Come Blow Your Horn, in the Perth’s Festival’s fifth season. The show runs from July 11 to Aug. 3, (Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m. and 2 p.m. matinee), and held at the Classic Theatre located at 54 Beckwith St. E. Perth. Come Blow Your Horn is a hilarious satire play and is based on the early ’60’s swinging bachelor lifestyle that launched Neil Simon’s prolific Broadway career. Kress plays character Connie Drayton, the main love interest of Alan, the lead male, in which the witty back and forth banter proves Connie to be clever and sharp which is a change of role when it comes to women in comedy. “I really enjoy the role of Connie. She’s smart, witty and gives as good as she gets. What’s fascinating is though she represents a more old fashioned outlook - giving up her career to be a housewife - she is very much presented by Neil Simon as an equal to her partner Alan,” Kress said. Kress enjoys period pieces as she has performed in a number of them. She has starred in various plays and film roles, taking the lead in indie film Tarantata as Ryan Gallimore and theatre roles of Lady Capulet from the famous Romeo and Juliet to Beauty and the Beast’s very own Dusty.

Adrienne Kress Kress has been a drama major since the age of 11 and finds it impossible to picture a life without acting; despite the high pressure of the industry she states there is nothing more satisfying than acting itself. Tickets range from $21 to $30 with group discounts available. For tickets and further information contact Tickets Please at 39 Foster St., Perth or ticketsplease.ca, or call at 1-877283-1283, ext. 1. Kress is an actor and author, writing award winning novels for children and young adults. Most recently, Kress published the successful adventure novel The Friday Society, which was recognized as one of the top five Steampunk books of 2012. Her first novel, Alex and the Ironic Gentleman, was featured in the New

York Post as a “Post Potter Pick,” and on the CBS Early Show. It won the Heart of Hawick Children’s Book Award in the UK and was nominated for the Red Cedar. The sort-of sequel, Timothy and the Dragon’s Gate, was nominated for the Audie, Red Cedar and Manitoba Young Readers Choice Awards, and was recently optioned for film. Kress is a theatre graduate of the University of Toronto and London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts in the UK. Neil Simon is the world’s most successful playwright. He has had dozens of plays and nearly as many major motion pictures produced. He has been showered with more Academy and Tony nominations than any other writer, and is the only playwright to have four Broadway productions running simultaneously. His plays have been produced in dozens of languages, and have been blockbuster hits from Beijing to Moscow. His true success, however, is in his unique way of exposing something real in the American spirit. As a registered charitable organization, Burning Passions Theatre believes strongly in supporting the communities in which we work. A major focus of our work is audience engagement and support for civic and community groups, as well as the mentorship of community youth. Submitted by Classic Theatre.

Clark stands up for Kemptville College future in first question period News – In the first Question Period of Ontario’s new legislative session, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark was on his feet to stand up for the future of Kemptville College’s core agriculture education programs. Clark sought assurance from Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal that the Liberal government will work with any partner emerging with a plan to continue the college’s 97 years of excellence in research and education, which are essential to the future of farming and agribusiness in Eastern Ontario.

“Maintaining those agricultural diploma programs is an absolute priority for me, the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force and the Eastern Ontario farming community,� said Clark. “That’s why I felt it was important to take the first opportunity available to get the new minister’s assurance he won’t rule out any potential partner.� A video of Clark’s question is available at: http://youtu.be/1e-BPkhuxA8 Clark has written to Leal and Reza Moridi, the new Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, to personally invite them to tour the Kemptville

well laid-out and very inviting interior. Seats strike the right balance between comfort and support and head and leg room is well above average for this class. Designers took full advantage of the rotary knob transmission control to free up more useable space in the centre console. While the idea of this type of shifter might seem foreign, it takes little time to get used to operating it.

Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices), come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The Chrysler 200 I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at an area Chrysler Dodge Ram Jeep store. The mainstream non-luxury mid-sized sedan niche is one of the most competitive segments of the automotive market and it has been so since the extinction of the big-metal sleds in the ‘80s. To win over buyers in this segment is rather easy; all a carmaker has to do is come up with a creation that looks great, seats four very comfortably, is loaded with the latest in tech features, has power to spare, and comes in a the right price. The all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 seems to hit every one of those targets. For pricing, the 200 starts at $22,495 and can be equipped and loaded to the $38,315 mark. My Limited model with the ‘comfort group’ option package came in at $29,585 (all prices before destination or license fees, or taxes, or current incentives). For features, it has everything you’d expect for a $29K vehicle plus things you might not such as automatic projector-style headlamps, 17� aluminum wheels, steering-wheel mounted paddle shift controls, sixway adjustable driver and passenger front seats, 5� touch-screen audio/HVAC control, rearview camera, remote start, and cell-phone ready audio system, just to cover the highlights. While the entry level 200 is equipped with the 184 hp 2.4 L four-cylinder engine, my Limited trim tester had the 3.6 L 295 hp Pentastar V-6 mated to a segment exclusive 9-speed automatic transmission. An all-wheel drive (AWD) version is available with a fully ‘disconnectable’ rear axle to improve fuel economy when AWD isn’t required. The 3.6 V6 moves the 1,500 kg sedan with more than a little enthusiasm. The paddle shifters will let the engine rev higher before shifting giving the sport drivers their fix, while touring types will appreciate the smooth seamless application of power. All passengers, front and rear, are treated to a

“WE WANT TO EARN YOUR BUSINESS�

Dog days of summer means leave the pets at home Be safe in event of flooding, Lifestyle - If you thought with all the public service announcements, news stories, social media coverage, and weather warnings, that people have gotten the message about leaving children and pets in vehicles parked in the sun on sweltering days, you’d be very very wrong. A recent experience hit close to home, demonstrating that some of us still don’t get it. My wife was walking across a very hot parking lot on one of our approaching-40-degrees-in-the-shade days recently and came across a minivan with a dog barking and obviously in distress. The front door and rear quarter windows were open a crack, but in the sun, this didn’t matter as the interior temperature was in the red zone. She entered the first building open and asked to use the phone to call 911. An occupant there suggested checking at the restaurant next door to see if the van’s owner was present. This person went into the dining room and announced that if the owner was there, he or she had only seconds to get the dog out or the authorities would be called. The male half of a young couple quickly sprinted to the van to rescue the dog, which for-

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

tunately was none the worse for the experience. Even if the windows had been left all the way down, the windshield and back-glass of a minivan, like most vehicles will provide enough of a greenhouse effect to raise the interior temperatures to life-threatening levels. If risking the health or life of a child or pet isn’t a deterrent (and for some it appears it’s not), consider the fines and costs associated, not to mention possible jail time. If you try to justify your actions because “you’ll only be a minute”, consider that anyone approaching your vehicle won’t know that and will likely call emergency responders before trying to find you. Or if a rock or brick is nearby, they may not make any call. If your child or pet really wasn’t in danger, you may still face the consequences of wasting an emergency service’s time. If there is

the slightest physical problem with a hot vehicle’s occupant, it may mean the trip to a hospital, a veterinarian, or the police station; so much for saving time! Courtesy of Edmonton’s Animal Protection Services, here are the five signs of a dog in heat distress: 1) Excessive panting or drooling. 2) The tongue turns dark purple in colour. 3) Frantic behaviour; pawing at the window, trying to stick its nose out. 4) Loss of bowel control. 5) Lethargic and unresponsive behaviour; when the animal is really in trouble. On Friday, July 11 the Carp Lawn Tractor Pull pulls into the Carp Fairgrounds with the action starting at 7 p.m. There is a $2 admission charge and all monies raised will be going toward prostate cancer as well as Carp and West Carleton 4-H. Some money will also go to the Carp Fair. The following day sees the 10th annual Carp Show ‘n’ Shine & Parts Flea Market happening at the same location. As well as classics and rods there will be antique snowmobiles, lawn tractors and a hit and miss

engine display. On Sunday the 13th, the very popular Merrickville Cruise & Shop is on in, where else, Merrickville. Wear comfortable walking shoes, because this show goes on for blocks with plenty of rest and refreshment stops along the way. There will be live entertainment by the Mick Armitage Band. Check out their website for more details at www.merrickvillecarshow.com. And don’t forget the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum annual Classic Car Show is also on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 2940 Old Montreal Rd. in Cumberland. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

natural gas emergency News – Enbridge Gas Distribution reminds customers about important safety tips related to flooding and natural gas equipment. Natural gas appliances and meters or regulators that are fully or partially submerged as a result of flooding pose a potential safety risk, even if there is no smell of gas, and should also be called in to the Enbridge Gas Distribution 24hour emergency number at 1-866-763-5427. Enbridge is advising customers not to enter any flooded areas with electrically-operated gas fired equipment due to a potential electrical shock hazard, which may cause severe injury or death. In some cases, flooding can impact sewer lines. Before doing any work to clear a blocked sewer line beyond the outside walls of a building, it is very important to call Ontario One Call at 1-800-400-2255 to request a

free natural gas sewer safety inspection. It is possible that some natural gas lines could intersect with sewer service lines. A serious safety issue may result if tools used to clear the sewer service line damage a natural gas line, causing a gas leak. Flooding can impair the effectiveness of safety devices installed in natural gas equipment and appliances. If natural gas equipment has come into contact with water, customers will need to contact a licensed heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) contractor or your service provider or equipment manufacturer, to have the affected appliance(s) serviced or repaired. Enbridge does not provide this service. Customers can locate a contractor through the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada website at www. hrai.ca.

Windsor-built 1934 Plymouth has one owner for 53 years Lifestyle – Bill Ball of Amherstburg, Ontario, purchased a 1934 Plymouth Model PE coupe in 1961, probably never imagining that he would still own the same car more than half a century later! The car was built at the Chrysler plant in Windsor, where Bill’s dad, Harold, had worked in 1934. Coupes with a built-in trunk were $790 and those with a rumble seat had a factory retail price of $845. Three young men from the Leamington area had purchased the car in London in the late ‘50s while attending teachers’ college. They bought it from a man who had found it under a pile of scrap in a junkyard. He got it running and put it back on

the road, then later sold it to the three young men. One of them later bought out the other two, then sold the car when he got married. Bill bought the car in running condition in 1961 from Norm’s Bicycle Shop in Walkerville. He stored the car at two or three locations over the years, hoping to restore it some day.

Around 2000, the car came out of storage and the restoration began. Bill already had two NOS (new old stock) running boards he found at a big swap meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania. He also had two NOS rear fenders, also from Hershey. Fortunately, the body itself was very solid and is now painted in Light Gunmetal Metallic.

The engine is the original one for this car and was rebuilt by a man at Siefker Automotive in Essex. It has 201 cubic inches and cranks out a very respectable 77 horsepower. Bill installed a new interior kit and also replaced the fabric insert roof. The chrome was redone in London. Bill’s Plymouth has several interesting features. A no-draft window has six different positions up and down, and only offered in 1934. The suicide doors (hinged at the rear) were typical of cars of that era. The hood sides have a combination of louvers and doors for proper engine ventilation. The windshield cranks out from the bottom for an early form of air conditioning. The car was put back on the road

about ten years ago, and is driven locally with its “stump-puller” 4:11 rear end. It is always on display at Amherstburg’s Gone Car Crazy Show ‘n’ Shine for all vehicles, taking place this year on Saturday July 27. For more info, call Eleanor at 519-736-4020 or www.amherstburgsgonecarcrazyshow.com. If you see Bill there with his 1934 Plymouth coupe, be sure to say hello! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca, or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest car-flavoured book: “THE BIG TOMATO: A Comedy Farce from 1957.” Submitted photo

Lifestyle – Fiddleheads are a green vegetable that is typically available in the spring. They grow along the banks of rivers and streams and are sometimes sold at farmer’s markets, roadside stands and grocery stores. Fiddleheads can be safely eaten, but can cause food poisoning if they haven’t been properly cleaned, prepared, cooked and stored. There have been reported cases in Canada and the US of people getting sick from eating raw or undercooked fiddleheads. However, there have been no reported cases of illness associated with eating fully cooked fiddleheads. Eating raw or undercooked fiddleheads can cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and headaches. These symptoms usually occur within 30 minutes to 12 hours. Anyone who experiences these symptoms after eating fiddleheads should contact their health care professional or local public health unit Follow these steps when preparing fiddleheads to protect you and your family from food poisoning:

eral changes of clean, cold water. Cooking • Never eat raw or undercooked fiddleheads. • Cook fiddleheads in lightly salted boiling water for 15 minutes or steam them for 10 to 12 minutes, until they are tender. Discard the water that was used for cooking. • Fiddleheads should be boiled or steamed as described above prior to use in recipes that use further cooking methods like sautéing, stir-frying or baking.

Freezing • Clean fiddleheads properly. • Boil them in water for two minutes and discard the water. • Rinse fiddleheads in cold water and drain. • Pack them in sealed bags or containers. • Store them in the freezer for up to one year for best quality. • Follow the cooking instructions above before serving. Stay connected with Health Canada, and receive the latest advisories and product recalls using http:// Cleaning www.hc-sc.gc.ca/home-accueil/ • Remove as much of the brown sm-ms/index-eng.php social media husk as possible. tools. • Wash the fiddleheads using sevSubmitted by Health Canada.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

(20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO.

To get the most out of your ‘treasure hunting’ shop often and don’t be afraid to let the owner know what you are looking for. Most shop owners are very happy to call you when something comes in that you have expressed an interest in.

Try something new. Use consignment shopping to economically try out new decorating techniques and ideas. Lower prices make it less painful if something goes wrong with your creative project. When shopping for clothing look for pieces to supplement your current wardrobe. Don’t pass by an item that may be slightly too large or a bit too long, the money you save and a small tailoring investment means that great item is still a considerable bargain! If you are handy with a needle and thread... even better!

What you should do? • Read product labels to see if allergens are listed as ingredients or if the label has an allergen “containsâ€? statement. • Always check product labels and read them carefully, as manufacturers sometimes change the ingredients used in familiar products. • Avoid food products that do not list their ingredients or those that contain an ingredient that you don’t recognize. • Obviously, avoid food products that contain the specific allergens but also those that contain derivatives of allergens to which you are allergic. • Avoid food products if the label indicates that they “may containâ€? an ingredient to which you are allergic. • When eating at a friend’s home, or in a restaurant, tell your host/server about your food allergy, and ask specific questions about the food being served. • If you have been prescribed an epinephrine/adrenaline auto-injector, learn how to use it properly and carry it with you at all times. • Always wear a Medic Alert identifier so that, in case of an accident, others know about your allergies.

GORGEOUS WEDDINGS

Lifestyle – Severe allergic reactions to food can occur quickly, sometimes without warning, and the reactions can be life threatening. Food allergies are more common in children but can affect people of all ages. As many as 2.5 million Canadians – or about seven per cent of the population – identify themselves as having one or more food allergies. Peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, soy, seafood (fish and shellfish), wheat, eggs, milk, mustard and sulphites are the food allergens that typically cause allergic reactions and are known in Canada as the priority allergens. For people with food allergies, sensitivities or intolerances, the best way to prevent an allergic reaction is to avoid the specific food or ingredient in the first place. When you have food allergies, it is especially important to read food labels. Health Canada requires that most prepackaged foods carry a label and that the ingredients appear on labels in decreasing order of proportion. Recent amendments to the Food and Drug Regulations enhanced the labelling requirements for specific priority allergens, gluten sources and added sulphites in prepackaged foods sold in Canada.

Not only will Proud to Bee a 4-H’er stimulate active outdoor activities, it will allow youth to learn about the essential role that pollinators play in creating a healthy ecosystem and a sustainable food supply. “At least one third of the human food supply from crops and plants depends on insect pollination, most of which is done by bees...bee health is affected by a variety of interdependent factors including biodiversity and habitat,” says Dr. Paul Hoekstra, regulatory and science stewardship manager with Syngenta Canada.

This information will appear on our website and in radio reports. This year you can also follow the beach posting results by using Facebook and Twitter. Updates will be posted Friday mornings by 9 a.m. starting June 27. Research has shown that when people are swimming at beaches where the water has a high E. coli level, there is a direct relationship with an increase in ear, eye, nose and throat infections in swimmers. The bathing beach will remain posted until test results indicate that the water quality meets the bathing beach water standard. To help you better understand why beaches are posted, the health unit has developed an information card that is available at any health unit office or township office that has a bathing beach.
