Blues On The Rideau (BOTR), the dinner and show fundraiser series that has been running at The Cove Country Inn in Westport for the past 10 years and is now recognized as one of the premier blues series in Canada – is pleased to announce it’s 2015/16 lineup. The shows start in September and run once a month through to May (December excluded). It’s another all star cast of some of Canada’s best blues bands with a mix of popular returnees and a couple of new bands that have never played BOTR before. As in previous years every show is a fundraiser for a different local charity. To date the series has raised more than $55,000. The goal for this season is another $5,000. All BOTR shows run from 7 to 11 p.m. and include a delicious full course buffet dinner served by the Cove’s friendly staff. The venue is small, intimate and relaxed. After dinner you get to see and dance to world class blues bands up close and personal – the way blues is best enjoyed! – all for a very reasonable price – $65 (plus tax). There are door prize giveaways at every show and two grand prizes drawn at the end of the season. Advance reservations are required and it is wise to book well in advance, especially if you want to stay overnight. Rooms at The Cove and nearby B&Bs and motels frequently sell out for blues nights. Call 613-273-3636 to reserve. Note that there has been a small increase in price this year – $5 – the first in five years to help cover cost increases over that time. And there is a new reservation policy in place this year – a credit card number is required with the reservation (although the card is not charged until the night of the show). Cancellations or changes in the reservation can be made up to a week prior to the event without penalty. After that time those than don’t show, or come with fewer than reserved for, will be charged for those seats although a credit will be applied for a future show that season (space available) if there is a legitimate reason. The new policy has been implemented due to the number of “no-shows” over the past several years which, in many cases, has prevented others who would like to see that show from attending.

2014 Toronto Blues Society’s Talent Search. She hasn’t played outside of Quebec that often yet but that’s about to change. Come and see her before she gets famous. Proceeds will go to 4-H Canada. • May 13: Hamilton’s Harrison Kennedy Band. He is one of the best soul/blues/R&B singers this country has ever produced – period. Lead singer in the Detroit supergroup Chairmen of the Board in the 1960s, Harrison semi-retired when the band broke up, took a “real job” and only played blues on the side for a few decades. He re-emerged full-time in the early 2000s and since then he’s released seven albums (four of which earned Juno nominations), been nominated 15 times for Maple Blues Awards and an American Blues Music Award. Harrison has been here twice before and now you get to see him with his full R&B band behind him. I guarantee this will be a night to remember. Reserve early. Proceeds from this evening will go to Habitat for Humanity. Bands and dates are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. Check the website or call The Facebook photos Cove closer to the shows to confirm. Visit www.BluesOnTheRideau.ca David Vest, above, and The Willing Victims take to the stage Oct. 23.

Proceeds from the two-night event will go to the Rideau Waterway Land Trust and the Westport Arts Council. • Feb. 19: Toronto’s Jack de Keyzer Band. Jeff Healey called Jack de Keyzer “the finest blues guitarist in Canada.” He’s a two-time Juno Award and seven-time Maple Blues Award winner for Best Guitarist, Entertainer, Electric Act and Recording of the Year. He is one of the hardest working bluesmen in the country with a great veteran band. This is Jack’s seventh visit to BOTR – he’s unquestionably one of our favourites! Proceeds will go to Art By the Lake Westport. • March 25: Angel Forrest Band. With a career spanning 26 years and eight albums to her credit, Angel is recognized as one of the best female treal’s Ria Reece Band, above. They will perform April 22. vocalists in Quebec.

Proceeds will go to Kick In For Kids. • April 22: Montreal’s Ria Reece Band.

Growing up, Earle was judged, bullied and called “retard,” which left him feeling suicidal and undermined his self worth. “Yes, I faced many challenges, but all I wanted was to be included like everyone else,” he said. After moving to Carleton Place in 2004, Earle became involved with CLALC, a lifechanging move. In May 2006, the organization’s then executive director (Rick Tutt) approached
him about working together to see if a People First chapter would survive in the area. From the outset, people were receptive. The inaugural meeting of PFoLC took place on July 21 that year. CLALC called Earle an eloquent and effective spokesperson for all people, and governments at all levels often solicit his opinion on initiatives and legislation. Nearly four years ago, Earle was at Queen’s Park in Toronto by the side of Dufferin-Caledon

Carleton Place resident Kory Earle has received the Joan McKay Memorial Bursary Award from Community Living Association Lanark County (CLALC). Earle was honoured during CLALC’s annual general meeting (AGM), which took place at Carambeck Community Centre on June 23. Headquartered on Townline Road East in Carleton Place, CLALC is “dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities to live a quality life in a state of dignity, with the opportunity to participate fully in their community and to contribute and benefit from societal engagement.” “I want to thank members of Community Living Association Lanark County – past and present – for this huge honour,” Earle said, “and for their support through the years.” He also acknowledged family, friends, community members, the Haldenby family and local politicians, businesses, organizations and media. As the current president of People First of Canada, the immediate past president of People First of Ontario and the co-founder of People First of Lanark County (PFoLC), Earle was recognized by CLALC as someone who is passionate and committed to equality for all people – especially individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Health unit promotes blue-green algae awareness around bodies of water Blue-green algae blooms are a natural seasonal phenomenon that may appear in our lakes, rivers and ponds during mid-summer to fall. Many of these blooms are relatively harmless; however, some species have the potential to produce toxins which may be harmful to people and animals. The presence of blue-green algae and its toxins can only be confirmed through a laboratory test, so we recommend taking a cautious approach when you suspect a blue green algae bloom. Toxins that can cause skin irritation, nausea and vomiting, and in higher concentrations, liver problems are released when the cells break down. The Leeds, Grenville and
Lanark District Health Unit advises people using surface water for recreation and drinking, to become familiar with blue-green algae so they can make informed decisions on when to avoid contact with the water. Algae blooms do degrade with time; however, it is not possible to say whether the toxins have completely left the area. Once the toxin is released from the cell, where it goes is dependent on the local characteristics of water movement in the area. The toxin will eventually be diluted into the body of water as any other soluble compound. Drinking water Surface water is never a safe source of drinking water without effective treatment.

are more likely to swallow water so it is critical to observe them carefully when in the water. • Be cautious about eating fish caught in water where a blue-green algae bloom has occurred. Toxins are concentrated in the liver. So avoid consuming the liver, kidneys and other organs of fish caught in an area affected by blue-green algae. Algae exist in nature; however, they rely on certain conditions to grow. While we cannot control many of these conditions, we can influence one of the factors that affect their growth that is the nutrients available to them. You can help reduce nutrient levels enter-
ing the lake by reducing the use of household fertilizers, agricultural runoff, and ensuring your septic system is in good working order. If you suspect that a blue-green algae bloom is occurring in your area please report it to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change – Spills Action Centre at 1-800-268-6060. This way the location and number of blooms can be monitored. For further information, visit http://www.healthunit.org/recwater/blue-green-algae.html or call 1-800-660-5853.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County seeks volunteers through adolescents. Big Brothers Big Sisters is in need of women from age 17 to 25 for the Go Girls! program and men from ages 17 to 30 for the Game On! program. If you are looking to volunteer but find you do not have a lot of free time in your schedule, the agency also offers an in-school mentoring program where volunteers are matched with a mentee for one hour a week during school hours enjoying what they both love to do (playing games, cooking, crafts, music, read-
ing, etc.) This is a great way to invest in a young person and see how much fun volunteering can be. All ages are welcome for this. Retirees have found this to be a great program to be involved with. For those who would like to invest a greater amount of time, there are many boys and girls who are waiting for a traditional Big Brother, Big Sister, or Big Couple to spend three to four hours a week going out and enjoying what the mentor and mentee both enjoy doing. This year, Big Brothers Big Sisters
was able to serve more than 515 children across Lanark County. The agency is a volunteer based organization, which means they need volunteers in order to run their programs. Without volunteers these children would have not been able to take part in their positive and supportive mentoring programs. More than ever, children need a caring adult in their lives to support them through the ups and downs of childhood. With the growing demand for Big Brothers Big Sisters programs, the
Shoeboxes for Seniors launches annual campaign The 2015 Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign was recently launched July 1 and runs until Dec. 31. The project, according to co-ordinator Mary Bernard, began in 2003 and has been well-received in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville communities. “To date, 10,400 boxes have been filled with much needed personal care items,” she said. “Our shoeboxes are distributed to seniors who have limited funds…The seniors receiving our shoeboxes have been overjoyed with the compassion shown to them. Our community has brought many smiles to weary faces.” Some of the basic hygiene items needed include: toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, hand/body
cream, petroleum jelly, razors, shaving cream, combs and brushes, nail files, band-aids, handkerchiefs, facial tissues, face cloths, small towels, scarves, socks, reading glasses, hard candies and tea. Tax receipts can be issued for cash donations as well as for items purchased. Simply include your store receipt along with your name and address. Those who simply wish to purchase items can drop them off in a bag and organizers will box them up. Drop-off locations: • Brockville – Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark’s office (100 Strowger Boulevard #101) or the CPHC (2235 Parkedale Avenue) • Athens – CPHC (12 Wellington

Volunteering is a great way to get connected with your community and a local agency is hoping you will choose to volunteer with them. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is now looking for volunteers for the 2015/2016 school year for the programs they run in local schools. The time commitment can be as little as one hour a week and scheduling is flexible. Training is provided, but their well-known mentoring programs are really all about the simple power of friendship. Volunteers are most urgently needed in the agency’s after school programs that run once a week for two hours, typically from 3 to 5 p.m. in Perth, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place schools. Each program involves some fun physical activity, a healthy and delicious snack, and a chance for children to build a friendship with a caring adult. The program offers a fun way to give back to your community, to get volunteer hours, and to engage in something that will be fulfilling and rewarding. The agency also offers Go Girls! and Game On! programs, which are both two hours a week for a seven-week period. The timing of the program is based on the volunteer’s availability. The program is held during school hours and it is a mentoring program for girls and boys to help them learn new and fun ways to get physically active and learn the nutritional value of balanced eating while giving them tools to help support them

Volunteers are vital
surefire way to get involved, meet new people and make a difference in your community is by volunteer-
ing. Whether it’s spending time on your local hospital board, coaching in the soccer league or providing transportation for programs such as Meals on Wheels, everywhere you look, there are volunteers. By volunteering you not only give back, but can gain experience and new skills yourself. Currently, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is seeking individuals interested in donating their time for the 2015/2016 school year, to help out with programs they run in local schools. Those programs include after school initiatives as well as their popular Go Girls! and Game On! ventures, which promote mentoring and physical activity. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is a local agency with a proven track record of helping youth. In fact, this year, they’ve aided more than 515 children across the county through the simple power of friendship. They’re also volunteer-based, so in order to continue making a difference in the lives of children, they need bodies to help run the programs.
Want to volunteer but only have limited time to spare? Don’t worry. Big Brothers Big Sisters are flexible with scheduling, so your time commitment can be as much as five hours a week or as little as an hour. For those with less time, the agency’s in-school mentoring initiative is a great place to start. Volunteers are matched with a youth for an hour each week to spend time together, whether it’s playing games, finishing homework, cooking, listening to music or reading. For those who have a little more time to spare, Big Brother, Big Sister or Big Couple mentors are also always needed to spend three to four hours a week with mentees. According to Volunteer Canada, which has resources and information at www.volunteer. ca for those looking to get involved in the world of volunteering, more than half of Canada’s 161,000 non-profit organizations require volunteers and 12.7 million people give close to two billion hours of their time each year. By volunteering you not only give back, but can gain experience and new skills yourself. They are a vital resource to all of our communities. And another great thing about volunteering: it’s never too late to start.
Montreal cousin brings the circus to Renfrew County Mother talked endlessly about the sights of her beloved New York...all the things you could do that didn't cost a penny, and of spectacles she was sure you could find nowhere else in the world. We hung onto every word, and in our minds eye, each one of us five children created our own images of the glories of this great and wonderful city. One summer day, when our Montreal cousins were visiting from Montreal, was a day I would never forget. It was a hot and sticky day, and we had taken refuge in the grape arbour...all sitting around Mother in the big wooden swing. Someone was fanning her with a copy of the Renfrew Mercury, as she told of the wonders of that city. Stories we never tired of. Even young Ronny, that incorrigible cousin

who wasn’t easily impressed, was spellbound, as she talked about trains that ran on tracks high above the streets, and a place called an automat, where you could buy your lunch for a dime from a little glass window in a wall. And then she told us for the first time about a circus that even in our wildest imagination we couldn't fathom. It was a circus of fleas. She said they wore little harnesses, and their trainer showed them off in a magnified glass top case, and they obeyed
his every command. We couldn't imagine anything so fascinating. Ronny's eyes started to slit, and I could tell his fertile mind was working overtime, and that he was planning some deed, which was bound to get him into trouble. And then story time was over. Mother went into the house, and we kids scattered...some to get cooled off in the Bonnecherre… and some to get a cup of ice-cold water from the well. Ronny sort of slinked off towards the barn... but I never took my eye off him. I knew he was up to something. I saw him walking slowly over the barnyard, stick in hand poking the ground, eyes cast down...and in the deepest concentration. He finally found what he was looking for. It was a big black beetle. We called them June bugs

and they could be found in great abundance on the farm, and I hated them with a passion. I wasted no time in asking Ronny what he intended to do with it. Now his eyes were barely visible between the lashes. “I'm going to make a harness out of thread and train
this critter to perform, that's what I'm going to do,” he said. “And I'm going to charge admission. Now, if you want to get to see it free, you better help me.” I took the thread out of Mother's sewing box...heavy black thread she used for buttons for
our winter coats. Ronny had moved over to the back of the silo so no one could see what he was doing. He figured if he could get the bug harnessed and trained before anyone saw him, he was See MARY page 9

more likely to get away with charging for the show. The beetle was helpless on its back, but I was still terrified to give it more than an occasional glance. Ronny fashioned a harness of sorts from the thread and wrapped it around the bug’s gyrating body. Then he flipped it over on a rock and with a small twig prepared to embark it on its education. It scurried in every direction and each time Ronny would bring it back to a starting position. This went on in the beating sun for what seemed like hours to me. I was anxious to get on with other things, and was reaching the conclusion that Ronny was never going to teach this beetle a thing. But every time I started to move away, Ronny hauled me back to hold the harness. It became a battle of wills between the beetle and my Montreal cousin and it very much looked like this was one war Ronny was not going to win.
I might have known Ronny was not going to give up easily on what could be a lucrative venture. He dispatched me to the house to fetch the rest of the kids and they were all to bring a cent with them if they wanted to see this spectacle. I had no idea what they were going to see for a cent, but I did exactly as I was told. Everyone lined up beside the plank Ronny had arranged for the show and he extracted a cent from every outstretched hand. Then he took the bug out of his hand and set it on the board. It never moved a fraction of an inch. He touched it with a finger. Then with a blade of grass. Finally he blew on it. It was either asleep or dead. Seven pairs of eyes were glued to the beetle. Nothing happened. Emerson wanted his money back. So did Audrey. Everett said he was going to the house to tell Mother who had no tolerance for inhumane actions towards animals, be they big or small. Ronny knew he had to do

Niagara River, in January 1838. The flag of the short-lived Republic of Canada contained the word “Liberty” in red, below two white stars on a blue field – one star each for Upper and Lower Canada. You can see a modern reproduction of the flag in the Wikipedia article, Republic of Canada, which provides a brief history of the rebellion. (The rebels in Lower Canada flew a different flag.) Although both the Upper and Lower Canadian republics were short-lived,
something, or he was going to have to give back the pennies he had collected. “Now I ask you,” he said. “Have you ever seen a bug in a harness?” We all agreed we hadn’t. “Have you ever seen a harness that small?” Again, we all said no. “Then that’s what you’ve paid for. You’ve seen two things today you’ve never seen before... the tiniest harness in Renfrew County...and a bug tied into it.” He dusted off his knees, left the bug where it was still motionless, rattled the coins in his pocket...and headed for the pump for a drink. “I’d say, you’ve got your money’s worth,” he said without looking back.

Complaint-driven municipal bylaw enforcement is quite the muddle
Bylaw enforcement My concern here is how municipal bylaws are enforced or more to the point how they are not enforced in so many cases. We definitely have some thinking to do in this country when it comes to municipal bylaws which, in many cases, aren’t worth the paper they are printed on. At the heart of the matter is the complaint driven nature of bylaw enforcement in most communities. Sure, there are exceptions such as parking tickets for example. Some
Reflections By Jeff maguire
municipalities employ small armies of bylaw enforcement officers whose main responsibility is ticketing those who park illegally or overstay the time allotted when using pay and display machines or, less common these days, parking meters. Such an approach can be a major cash cow for some communities, mainly the biggest ones including Toronto and Ottawa in our province. It’s a very different story in small communities, including Carleton Place where we live. Much of what happens, relative to bylaw enforcement, is complaint driven. That’s because smaller municipalities are unable to muster the financial resources necessary to hire enough bylaw officers to go around enforcing the bylaws which are on the books. Parking infractions are one thing, but there are so many others. Things like property standards or, at this time of year, watering the lawn (outside of the hours prescribed in the bylaws which exist in most places) or failing to cut the grass and remove the crop of weeds which are mainstays in most neighbourhoods these days. Certainly parking tickets are issued in our community. But with the police reticent to become involved in such “trivial matters” it is left to a couple of bylaw enforcement guys to hand out tickets. They are paid to work limited hours which means at night and on weekends it is basically a free-for-all when it comes to parking. Unless someone complains that is! Presumably complaints are followed up. However the reality is that in small communities most people don’t want to complain for fear of being identified even though that is unlikely, at least when it comes to parking infractions. Consider this scenario though. If the

I think most people are familiar by now with the situation involving the young Kanata couple who decided to grow a vegetable garden in front of their townhome this year and ran afoul of the City of Ottawa bylaw department. The matter received national publicity and raised something of a furor about “complaint driven bylaw enforcement” which is the practice in most, if not all, communities in Canada. Fortunately a compromise was reached in this particular case and the couple will be able to keep their veggies, which is nice to hear. Still, I have to wonder what would have happened if they had not been astute enough to contact the news media and put the issue under what turned out to be a very large public spotlight? If they had not taken this route my instinct as a reporter tells me the city would have compelled them to remove the wooden structure which was at the heart of the matter. In this case a neighbour complained to the city that the wooden boxes for the plants was a potential tripping hazard for people passing the home on the public sidewalk. The same kind of thing flared in Cornwall last winter where a young family were forced to take down the boards around a small ice rink they had built in their front yard in a residential neighbourhood in the Seaway city. Once again a citizen’s complaint sparked the issue. And in that case the rink builders were found to be in contravention of a local bylaw which forbids such structures on the road allowance. Just to underline, the so-called “road allowance” is the part of people’s properties that is actually owned by local government and not by the purchaser of the property. Municipalities own a small strip across the front of every property for the purpose of future road and sidewalk construction etc. I watched a Toronto television news report, sparked by the Kanata vegetable garden debate, which explained that in Ontario’s capital the city owns 32 feet of land, measured from the centre of the roadway. I believe the same general rule applies provincewide and possibly nationwide. So, considering how narrow some streets are – there are examples in virtually every community – the municipality can legally claim a large chunk at the front of your property. I’m getting off topic slightly, but I couldn’t resist the previous comments.
property owner next to you creates a safety hazard by storing flammables illegally or if they fail to clean-up their property or maintain it during the spring and summer, what is your alternative? Who really wants to “rat” on their neighbour? That could lead to a longstanding feud, something most of us want no part of. Therefore we are left to beg and cajole our neighbours into doing a better job of bringing their property up to a higher standard. Not much of an alternative and I suspect the vast majority of those who are unhappy simply try to turn a blind eye to the offenders, some of whom are painfully obvious. Doesn’t do much for property values! Perhaps I am too easily irked? But yes, it does bother me in summer when I see someone watering their lawn outside of the prescribed hours during a heat wave. And it happens all the time. Meanwhile I am carefully adhering to the watering bylaw in fear of being caught in the act. Yet I have never been upset enough to call the bylaw folks and complain. No doubt they do some enforcement in this regard and respond to some complaints. But the reality is there are too few of them for too big a job. Who has the resources to scout every back yard in an urban community? Strange decisions I don’t live in Ottawa but I am a native of the city and most of my family live there. So I wondered how it was that someone was issued a permit to operate an auto wrecking and scrap yard in the middle of a small residential area. An odd decision to say the least. You’re probably aware of this particular site. I’m referring to the business on Flewellyn Road, between Ashton and Stittsville that experienced a serious fire recently. It was a massive inferno that scared the heck out of everyone in the small community. It also took Ottawa Fire many hours to snuff. I can only imagine the bill taxpayers will be stuck with as a result? The owner himself has gone on record saying he would rather be located farther away from residences. And yet the city approved the current set-up.

Yes indeed, local bylaw decisions can be very hard to understand. Perhaps the flavour of the month in Canada and around the world at the moment is the so-called Uber ride-sharing service which has licenced taxi companies livid with rage. Protests and complaints are happening in major communities around the world, including Toronto and Ottawa. In communities where taxi bylaws exist Uber is under siege because they clearly fall outside the rules which say companies or individuals must have a licence in order to charge passengers for a ride. At the same time, however, the public voice has been heard loud and clear. People want the option of being able to go online and hire someone to drive them from Point A to B. Because Uber drivers charge less, taxpayers want the service to be recognized by municipal governments.
Ottawa Valley Tours
To me it comes down to two things. If the existing taxi bylaws have any teeth then Uber drivers are clearly in contravention and should be dealt with accordingly. In other words the fines that have been issued should stick. Even more important is the matter of insurance. My wife is a longtime insurance agent and motor vehicle insurance is her specialty. She doesn’t know of any company that will insure an individual who intends to use their private vehicle as a taxi. And who is going to pay to ride in a vehicle that isn’t insured? No insurance, no taxi. It should be that simple really. That brings me back to my point this week which is the incredible muddle which are municipal bylaws today and how (or if) they are enforced. Surely we can do better than this? If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

This is an amazing experience for the young cheerleaders to be coached by the Cheer Sport Sharks owners, who are also two time World Champion coaches with the Great White Sharks. Four athletes on the Swell Sharks are from the Cheer Sport Sharks Stittsville location. Emily Burley, Jenna Arbuckle, Genevieve Armstrong and Morgan Smith all cheer with Sharks throughout the season but wanted a chance to be a part of this special team to take their cheerleading to the next level and travel with the sport that they love.The team also helps to bring athletes from the three gyms closer as they get to be teammates with people who live five hours away from them.

The Swell Sharks started their European trip in Rome and from there travelled together to see Venice and Florence Future Cheer National competition is held in Bournemouth, UK, a beautiful beach town that offered a very different travel experi-

The Merchant of Venice caps 20 years of summer classics At the auditions for BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) very first summer classic, back in 1996, a would-be Shakespearean looked at the script for William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, and gasped: “This is English?” Well, it certainly is English, very good English, and after a three month rehearsal period, the company put together a riotous, hilarious production that formed the basis for BarnDoor’s long tradition of summer classics. Each year, the community theatre troupe bring something old – yet something new – to the stage, from Shakespeare, with productions ranging from the zany (The Merry Wives of Windsor, 2000) to the profound (Hamlet, 2005), to the world’s first musical comedy (The Beggar’s Opera, 2004) to the world’s first bedroom farce (The Country Wife, 2014). In each of them, the company find a new challenge: to bring something very old to the stage in a new way. This year, BDP have undertaken a “problem play” – one of those Shakespearean shows that should be one thing but could be another. The Merchant of Venice is a comedy, no doubt about that, but is it also a tragedy? It’s certainly a romantic take on life, but is it also a hard-nosed look at life? It’s a play about young love – or is it a play about old hatreds? It is a play of colour and light; of pageantry and pomp; of music and language; of drama and of silliness. It’s

Since their first season, BarnDoor Productions has presented great classic plays in the summer months. As seen in this in-performance shot from The Country Wife in 2014, BDP Summer Classics are always full of fun, colour and entertainment. This week, Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice continues the tradition. also filled with some of the best poetry that William Shakespeare, the English language’s best poet, ever wrote and it’s populated with some of the most complex (and famous) characters that he ever created. The Merchant of Venice is challenging on many levels, from its language to its themes, from its characters to its setting. It’s a play that, simple on the outside, is filled with pitfalls for the producing group, but what BarnDoor Productions will bring to the stage starting
July 24 will be a show that is fast, funfilled and exciting and one that looks the challenges in the script straight in the eye. BarnDoor Productions has always presented classics that are aimed at a modern audience, with modern interests, modern sensibilities and modern understandings. If you’re the sort of person who says “Oh, I hate Shakespeare. I can’t understand it,” then BDP’s The Merchant of Venice is for you. If you’re the sort of person who says “Oh, I love
Shakespeare. The depth of the writing is so wonderful,” then BDP’s The Merchant of Venice is also for you. BDP’s summer classics are always aimed at clarity, simplicity and entertainment. And, all of this is being done by a company of just ten people, some who were in that very first Summer Classic back in 1996, some who are making their Summer Classic debut this year. The task of putting such a show on stage is enormous, the challenge is both physical and emotional, but each year, BDP’s troupe of community players step up and find the excitement and entertainment in whatever show is being presented – and this year, both excitement and entertainment run high. The company include both newcomers and veterans, including David Bird as Antonio, the title character, Joe Laxton as Shylock, Chris Angel as Bassanio and Kristy Angel as Portia. Supporting those four central characters are a company of six others (well, five and a half) who bring life to the rest of the characters in the show – some playing three different characters in the course of the play. As staged by BarnDoor Productions, it is a play of colour and light; of pageantry and pomp; of music and language; of drama and of silliness. It features a multi-level set inspired by a Renaissance church in Venice and a set of original costumes by Marilyn Bird created especially for this production.
It’s also filled with some of the best poetry that William Shakespeare, the English language’s best poet, ever wrote and it’s populated with some of the most complex (and famous) characters that he ever created. The Merchant of Venice is a fine capper to BarnDoor Productions’ 20th anniversary season, one that has seen Perth’s original community theatre step from strength to strength. It seems that each new production this year has been hailed by its audience as “your best ever” and even “the best production in Perth in a long while.” In fact, one patron went all the way, saying of BDP’s 100th production, Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, “Your best ever? It’s the best production I’ve ever seen!” So, stop in to the Full Circle Theatre this week and find out what all the excitement is about. The Merchant of Venice will run at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park, July 24, 25, 30, 31 and Aug. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and July 26 and Aug. 2 at 1:30 p.m. Note the summer start times: one halfhour earlier than usual! Tickets are just $20 reserved, $22 at the door. Students are $10. To reserve, simply call 613267-1884. No credit cards are needed; cash at the performance is requested.

A bus load of international students from Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Togo, Senegal, and Cameroon thoroughly enjoyed a recent matinee performance of the Classic Theatre Festival’s production of Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park, which runs until Aug. 2 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth. Here, Maurice Tahakam of Cameroon joins associate producer Matthew Behrens in the theatre lobby, where the enthusiastic visitor praised the actors, the pre-show talk that explains the background, history, and context of the play, and the town of Perth itself, which he found to be “very beautiful.” Tickets to Barefoot in the Park are at classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283.
Taking the Lead in Innovative Cheese PICTON, ON - With the growing demand by consumers for specialty cheeses, especially with respect to the latest trend in flavoured cheese, The Black River Cheese Company Ltd. is once again fanning the flames of flavour with its recent launch of its two new specialty cheeses - Wensleydale and Chilpolté Habanero Colby, a new flavour twist on a classic favourite. At The Great Canadian Cheese Festival, held every June in Prince Edward County, the company launched its new sheep milk Wensleydale cheese which met with great reviews by the thousands in attendance at the event. As a company renowned for its stronghold of award
winning cheddars and specialty cheeses made with cows’ millk, this is the company’s first forage into making cheese from 100% pure sheep milk. and it is already carving its own niche in the market with is creamy richness and slightly sweet flavour. With the expertise of their specialty Cheese Maker, in the production of both goat and sheep milk, the company is now looking to create an entirely new line of innovative cheese products using both types of milk. Having already won awards for their Goat Cheddar, launched just last year, the company is definitely on track with this year’s new Wensleydale cheese. Meanwhile Black River Cheese Company’s Master Cheese Maker and General Manger, Doug Peters, along with his team of cheese
CHEESE LOVERS! DISCOVER
OUR NEW GREAT TASTING
For plants to reproduce, they need pollinators. These include insect species such as bees, butterflies, beetles, flies and thousands of other insects, as well as hummingbirds. Unwittingly while searching for nectar, pollinators move pollen from the male anther of one flower to the female stigma of another. Plant scientists in Ontario are concerned about a decline in pollinator populations, including the honeybee. No matter if you have a large country garden or a small urban garden, you can help Mother Nature by planting a pollinator garden. Even if your growing space is limited to a deck or balcony, containers can be used to grow pollinator plants. Pollinators have the same basic needs essential to all life, namely: food, water and shelter. A pollinator garden strives to achieve all three elements to attract these welcome visitors. Flowers with bright colors, such as red, yellow, blue and violet will attract them. Native and old-fashioned varieties are best. While newer-bred plants may be attractive to humans, they may lack easily accessible pollen and nectar for pollinators. Pollinator-friendly flowers come in a range of shapes, sizes, colors and blooming periods and include: bee balm, cardinal flower, phlox, sage, cosmos, English lavender, lupine, cone-flower, geranium, black-eyed susan, sunflower, Shasta daisy, verbena, zinnia, milkweed, aster, lupine, thistle, violets, butterfly weed, and marigolds. Here are a few tips to create a pollinator friendly garden: • Provide water. Shallow pools, rocks in a bird bath and mud puddles will help to provide water, home building material and important minerals for
some pollinators. • Avoid the use of pesticides and herbicides that can be harmful to pollinators. (A pesticide ban is in effect in Ontario for home gardeners.) Pesticides are designed to kill insects. Herbicides can kill plants that support insect life. • Leave patches of undisturbed bare soil. By not applying mulch to parts of the garden, you will encourage many native bees that are ground nesting. • Encourage diversity of plant life by having different species of flowers blooming at once. • Consider nesting boxes for mason bees that nest in holes in wood or in hollow canes of plants. You can buy commercial nesting boxes, or make your own. • Grow native grasses to provide shelter and food for a variety of wildlife. • Provide overwintering places for eggs and larvae. Leave cut plant stems, twigs and brush in small piles for insects in the fall. Don’t rush to clean up your garden. Did you know that one out of every three bites of food we eat is made possible by pollinators? Eighty per cent of all flowering plants rely on pollinators for survival.

Mika Mika arrived at Thanksgiving as a stray and because of that we named him Turkey. That was later changed into Mika. Mika has been adopted once and was returned as the little child in the household where he was adopted to did not like big cats. Mika is a rather large grey/white tom cat. This week’s featured pets Judging from his special markMinou Meet this very handsome ings on his fur he could have young orange/white friendly some Bengal in him. male tabby cat. Minou has very special markings on his fur and is a half-long and half-short hair cat. Stunning eyes will observe you wondering whether you’re the one to take him home. Minou is healthy, playful and would be a perfect addition to any household.
He is very social, attentive and friendly. He does like other cats and at the shelter is especially fond of Latisha. When Mika is let out of his cage during cleanup time he wanders “across the road” and plays footsy with his special petite black feline friend Latisha. The other way around is happening too, when Latisha’s cage is cleaned she comes over to visit Mika. It’s very cute to see. All that to say, if you’re looking for a good matching pair, Latisha and Mika would be very good companions. The staff at LAWS would be delighted for those two to find loving homes, either together or in separate. Either is great.

CAPITAL FAIR THE MOST FUN YOU’LL HAVE ALL YEAR!
august 21 to 30, 2015
Laurie Weir/METROLAND
Randy Ferrier was signing copies of his second novel, The House of the Black Goat, at Backstreet Books on Saturday afternoon. The local author says he’s happy to report that he’s working on the sequel to his first novel, The Crow Flies South for the Winter, which he hopes to have finished this year. His third novel is also in the works, but that’s a project under wraps at this time. Ferrier says he’s hoping that writing will become a full-time job, but for now, he’s happy with his two other part-time jobs, including at Brownlee’s Metro, where he is the dairy manager, and on his dairy farm off the Scotch Line. Born and raised in Perth, Ferrier attended Queen’s University for film studies, and he says he’s taken many literature courses along the way. “Doing what I love, and that’s my passion,” he says about writing. Watch for his books, on sale at Backstreet Books, Wilson Street in Perth; at the Book Nook on Gore Street in Perth, and also at the Bookwork in Perth, located on Foster Street. They are also available in Smiths Falls at Arlie’s Books, and at Reads Book Shop and Coffee Bar in Carleton Place. Just recently, he has a commitment from Mill Street Books in Almonte to sell the books as well. Ferrier will be doing a reading/book signing at The Lanark Learning Center on Saturday, July 25. At that event, he will do a reading from The Crow Flies South For The Winter.

City Stream Watch fights back with invasive species removal “It’s critical that we remove these invasive species now,� said Chelsey Ellis, City Stream Watch (CSW) co-ordinator when speaking of the three invasive plants that the CSW program is looking to remove this summer with the help of community volunteers. “These species spread quickly,� says Ellis. “Now is the best time to act.� Eight one-day events will be held throughout June, July and August to remove Himalayan balsam, Japanese
knotweed and European water chestnut. These three invasive species have been identified through the CSW program along four urban streams — Pinecrest, Nepean, Sawmill and Taylor — and the Rideau River. Streams are one of the main pathways for the spread of invasive species and areas that are most likely to suffer from their impacts. “Improper disposal of ornamental plants is the biggest cause,� said Ellis. “People unknowingly toss plants over
the back fence near a watercourse and the spread can happen quite quickly from there.� CSW is particularly concerned about the spread of European water chestnut, a highly aggressive aquatic plant that was reported in 2014. The discovery of water chestnut on the Rideau River is the first of its kind in the region. “It is essential that we take steps to remove this plant now before it spreads throughout the Rideau River,� says Ellis.
“The plant grows thick on the water, preventing native plants from growing and essentially killing off life in the river.� A call is out to volunteers interested in helping with removals. “It means a lot of cutting, pulling and scooping, says Ellis. “It’s a busy day of effort, but very rewarding.� Shorelines where extensive removal takes place will be restored by planting riparian seeds to jumpstart the renewal process. Ottawa’s urban streams are vital to

The Studio Theatre has evolved to become one of eastern Ontario’s premier community theatre troupes, evidenced by its ever-growing audiences and bountiful wins at the annual Eastern Ontario Drama League festival.

South East CCAC invites you to help put patients first Putting patients first, the South East Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) is seeking a few people who are passionate about improving health care delivery in the community. The CCAC invites patients or their family members who have received services from the South East CCAC during the past three years to participate in a Patient and Family Advisory Council. “The CCAC defines patient engagement as more fully involving patients and caregivers in program design and service planning,” said David Campbell, public engagement lead for the South East CCAC. “The CCAC currently has methods of gaining patient feedback, but does not have a unified process to use this feedback to make our services more patient-centred. The goal of the Patient and Family Advisory Council is to have a more systematic method of providing patient feedback as well as provide a proactive method of providing patient and caregiver input on programs and services.” One of the four pillars of the South East CCAC’s 2014-2017 strategic plan is to ensure patients and caregivers have confidence and trust in their care. One of the main components of this strategy is to more fully involve patients and caregivers in program design and service planning. The Patient and Family Advisory Council will be a central forum for patient engagement which will reflect the voice of the patient in planning our services and improving our current ser-

What do you get when you mix The Golden Girls with Steel Magnolias? The Cemetery Club, of course! Ivan Menchell’s celebrated comedy is the second in the two-play summer series at Perth’s Studio Theatre, and just the sort of sharp-witted show that adds sparkle to a summer evening. Helmed by seasoned theatre director Joan Sonnenburg, The Cemetery Club celebrates friendship, love, and forgiveness while serving up a healthy mix of laughter and tears. The plot is a surefire comedy premise: Doris, Lucille and Ida are three friends living in the same Jewish community in Queens, New York, who gather once a month to visit the graves of their late spouses. After each outing the feisty threesome meet at Ida’s apartment to reminisce, commiserate, and compare notes about their new lives and dearly (or not-so-dearly) departed husbands. Fertile ground for humour? You bet it is... Janet Rice, who starred three years ago in the Studio Theatre’s hit version of Steel Magnolias, plays the quiet and somewhat priggish Doris, who takes her duties as a widow very seriously indeed.

1929 Chevrolet built in Saskatchewan Just inside the front door of the Canadian Automotive Museum at 99 Simcoe St. South in Oshawa, Ont., sits a sporty yellow 1929 Chevrolet International Roadster which first saw the light of day at the General Motors plant in Regina, Sask. It is equipped with metal spoke wheels, a distinctive Saskatchewan feature when cars produced in Oshawa had disc wheels. How this Chevrolet migrated from Saskatchewan to Ontario is unknown. The Regina plant opened in December 1928 at Winnipeg Ave. and 8th Ave. as a fivebuilding complex that included a body-building plant and a one-third-mile test track. The ’29 Chevrolet roadster at the Oshawa museum might well have been driven around that track before being shipped to a dealer. According to the Canadian Automotive Information Handbook published in 1934, our feature car had a price when new of $665 with a wheelbase of 107 inches as compared to 103.5
inches for the Model A Ford. At the time the Regina plant opened, Saskatchewan was the third-most-populated province with a large workforce of idle farmers during the winter. The plant employed 850 people and built Chevrolets, Oldsmobiles, and Pontiacs. Buicks and Maple Leaf trucks were added in 1937. During the Second World War, the plant became the largest munitions factory in Saskatchewan, employing 1,596 men and women. Although cars were never built here again, the building retains the letters “GMC” over the front doors. In 1929, Chevrolet produced a new six-cylinder engine with cast-iron pistons and a nonpressurized lubrication system, and the cost was little more than the old 4-cylinder. This allowed Chevrolet to claim that its new car was “A six in the price range of a four!” It had 194 cubic
inches with 46 horsepower, a very decent power output for that time. The new engine had a profound impact on Ford, which was building the Model A with four cylinders. After witnessing Chevrolet’s success, Henry Ford reportedly stated: “If it’s cylinders they want, then we will give them cylinders!” Ford introduced the first V8 engine in the low price field in 1932. The Canadian Automotive Museum first opened its doors in 1963 and today displays over seventy-five vintage vehicles, many of which were built by GM in Oshawa. Well worth a visit!

Kanata Storm blanked Elmira 7-0 to win Gil Read tournament final They weren’t among the pre-tournament favourites but Kanata Storm certainly made believers out of everyone who attended the eighth annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp on the weekend. On a day when thunderstorms were in the forecast it was the appropriately named Kanata team that created all the action at Carp Fairgrounds. Storm blew past Elmira (Ontario) Expos 7-0 Sunday afternoon to complete an impressive showing in the three-day event. Kanata posted a tournament best 5-1 record. They went 3-1 in the preliminary round to qualify for the semi-finals which were played earlier Sunday. In their opening playoff contest Storm doubled Oswego (New York) CPI Classics 8-4. The other semi-final saw Elmira (from the Kitchener area) edge Kingston Axemen 5-4 to qualify for the title game. Veteran Ottawa-area fastball player Corey Costello of Kanata Storm was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. He is the first winner of the new Joel Langford Memorial Trophy. Costello led a fourman Kanata pitching rotation which dominated the 10-team competition. Storm’s only stumble came in their opening game in Pool B. They lost a tight 1-0 decision to Kingston Axemen in a contest which began Friday night but was halted in the seventh inning due to downpours. That game resumed early Saturday with Kingston holding on to their advantage. Following that prolonged outing Kanata was unstoppable. They defeated Broker4 Tickets, another Ottawa team, 4-2 Saturday morning. In their third game Saturday afternoon they shut out another tournament newcomer, Elkland (Pennsylvania) Merchants, by a 7-0 count. Saturday night Storm outlasted the Quebec Juniors tournament team in a 14-12 thriller. That match-up was the highest
scoring game of the weekend. Meanwhile Kingston went 3-0-1 in the round-robin to finish atop the Pool B standings (ties are allowed in the competition due to time constraints). Kanata at 3-1 was a close second and rounding out the pool were Broker4 Tickets 2-1-1, Quebec Juniors 1-3 while Elkland were 0-4 in their tournament debut. In Pool A Oswego, a pretournament favourite, finished on top with a solid 3-1 mark. Elmira (from the Kitchener area) was runner-up at 2-1-1. Oshawa missed the playoffs finishing 2-2 while local favourites Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric went 1-2-1. Rounding out Pool A were tournament regulars Napanee (Ontario) Shoeless Joe’s Express Juniors who recorded just one win in four outings. Local entry Fitzroy/WC, who plays in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League, opened the tournament with an impressive 9-4 victory over Napanee. That game started Friday night but play was suspended due to rain in the fourth inning with Electric holding a 7-4 lead. The teams completed the contest early Saturday. The West Carleton club tied Elmira 5-5 in their second outing to remain in playoff contention. However they fell 7-2 to Oshawa later the same day and Sunday morning Electric was doubled 6-3 by Oswego to fall out of the hunt. Despite a rainy opening night and the threat of thunderstorms Sunday the eighth annual event has been judged a success. Chris Read, who along with his cousin Al Read, Adam Brown and Cory Morrison comprises the four-member organizing committee, said Monday this year’s tournament featured the strongest field ever. “The quality of the fastball was truly unbelievable,� he enthused. “It was the best ever, even though the final ended on the mercy rule. “But the round-robin games Sunday morning were win and you’re in (the playoffs) and that’s the way you want your

tournament to go,â&#x20AC;? he stressed. Rain hurt attendance Friday but Chris says that except for the heat there were no weather problems the rest of the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have another drop. The (predicted) storms went around us. So no complaints, overall things went very well,â&#x20AC;? he added. All proceeds from the tournament go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The organization assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play organized sports, but otherwise would not have the funds necessary to take part. Since the tournament moved to Carp six years ago the organizing committee has been able to increase the amount of proceeds donated to the foundation in each successive year. The tournament is held in memory of Chris Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Gil, a long-time menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastball coach who died tragically in 2007. As mentioned this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MVP award for the tournament was presented in memory of Joel Langford. He was a highly skilled Ottawa fastball player, who died unexpectedly on June 2 at the tender age of 26. The host committee has now instituted the trophy in his memory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joel competed in the tournament every year. We wanted to do this for his family, friends, teammates and coaches,â&#x20AC;? Chris explains. The first ever Gil Read Memorial tournament was played at Carlington Park in Ottawa in 2008. The second event was held at the same venue the following year. Rising costs prompted organizers to seek another location and in 2010 they settled on the expansive Carp Fairgrounds site in the quaint village in the West Carleton section of Ottawa. The venture has been held there ever since. Kanata, the tournament winner pocketed $1,500 while the runners-up from Elmira took home $700. The losing semifinalists, Kingston and Oswego each received $250. Chris thanked all of the sponsors who signed on for this year noting that many of them

Check your spare tire to ensure a safe journey when road tripping this summer No one likes an unexpected auto repair bill and when it’s a new vehicle it can be especially exasperating. A great shock for many car owners is the lack of warranty coverage when it comes to tires. If you roll over some road debris and blow out a tire on the way home from picking up your new vehicle, well, you’re in for a repair bill. Tires are not guaranteed by the carmaker but instead by the tire manufacturer and none of the tires installed on new vehicles carry a road hazard warranty. At one time a few decades back, almost all tires retailed in Canada carried such coverage at no extra charge. Under those programs if a tire was rendered unusable due to a puncture, a customer would only pay a portion of the replacement tire’s value (based on the tread wear) and installation and balancing. But those warranties went the way of the dinosaur as tire companies found they weren’t increasing sales. Tire companies still offer a guarantee against defects such as shifted belts, or bulging sidewalls, providing they aren’t caused by excessive impacts. Many auto retailers offer road-hazard warranties for reasonable prices through their finance offices. If your ride is equipped with expensive low profile tires or anything larger than 17”, and you drive on partic-
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
ularly tire-risky roads, you may want to check into these plans. Keep in mind if you ruin only one tire and the remaining ones are in almost-new condition, you will need to buy an exact match to the others. This will limit your choices and options for a less expensive replacement. On the topic of tires, when was the last time you checked your spare? While many vehicles are now eliminating the spare tire in lieu of a can of pressurized air with leak sealant or an electric compressor, many of us still have a spare tire and rim in the trunk or mounted under the vehicle. Making sure these tires are in good order and fully inflated is especially important when heading out for a vacation trip. If the tire is mounted under the auto, it’s also a good idea to make sure its retention mechanism is in good working order and not seized. Most repair centres are happy to check this for you when you bring in your car for routine maintenance, but doing it yourself means you know where all the tools are and how
they operate. Recalls still occupy a good portion of the industry news these days and a few US senators have come up with a few new ideas to ensure that consumers are aware of outstanding recalls on their vehicles and that they get handled in a timely manner. One of their suggestions was a new instrument panel warning light that would come on whenever a recall was announced for the vehicle. Due to the fact that this would need some type of dedicated wireless communication system between the auto and the manufacturer, it’s unlikely to gain much traction due to cost. Another suggestion was to amend relevant legislation to make it mandatory for dealerships to complete recalls whenever they had a customer’s vehicle in for service. This one infringes on consumer rights that few are aware of. When you bring your vehicle into a dealership for service, they are not to perform any warranty or recall repairs without your knowledge and approval even if there is no cost to you. Remember it’s your property and your decision. Few would argue with getting something for free, especially if it had the potential to improve safety or reliability. But it’s your vehicle and your call. From July 24-26, the Wheels on the Bay, Canada’s Premier Car,
Truck and Bike Show returns to Trenton’s Centennial Park. There will be games, awards, cash prizes, dash plaques and goodie bags for the first 1,000 registrants. The event will also include vendors, camping on site, live bands, a burnout pit, rev-up competition, poker run and more. All types of vehicles from all eras are welcome, including classic cars, modified cars, tuners and imports, stock vehicles, antique vehicles, motorbikes and trucks. On Sunday, July 26, Campbell Ford (on Carling Ave. in Ot-
tawa) and the Ottawa Mustang Club present their 17th annual Ford Spectacular. Registration is from 9 a.m. to noon. All Ford and Ford-powered vehicles are welcome. There will be an indoor cafeteria offering coffee to full breakfast and a chip wagon on site. This show runs rain or shine. On the same day, the Rolling Thunder Car & Motorcycle Show makes noise in Smiths Falls at Lower Reach Park. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything

Catherine Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multi-faceted portrayal of the looped Ethel Banks in the Classic Theatre Festival production of Neil Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedy Barefoot in the Park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as her embarrassed son-in-law (Chris Zonneville) grimaces, above, â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also includes tender moments as she comforts her daughter (Rachel Fischer), below. The play runs eight times a week until Aug. 2 at 54 Beckwith Street East. Tickets are available at 1-877-283-1283 or www. classictheatre.ca.
the real thing. Bruce says when she visits her own doctors, she is often called out as someone who has gone through the program given some of the terminology she uses to describe her own issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not a lot of patients talk about palpating their knuckles with their doctors,â&#x20AC;? she laughs. Among the eccentric roles Bruce has brought to life over the years have been previous Classic Theatre Festival gigs as the eccentric aunt whose powers of witchcraft are just above sub-par in Bell, Book & Candle, as well as the frustrated Mrs. Bradman in Blithe Spirit. She has also performed in a variety of diverse venues, such as playing Pat Womansbridge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a spoof of the loquacious CBC broadcaster Peter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for a series of General Motors gatherings, as well as at the annual auto show. Most satisfying for this veteran actor is losing herself in a role to the point that even people who knew her may not recognize her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I play a lot of characters and it is satisfying when people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize me afterwards,â&#x20AC;? she says. Like her fellow performers in Barefoot in the Park, many of whom use theatre in non-traditional venues, she points out that â&#x20AC;&#x153;theatre needs to move people. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an intimate shared experience with the audience, and as experiential creatures, theatre is a way we acquire knowledge. Film offers that too, but theatre is of the moment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like music â&#x20AC;&#x201C;you often hear people say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;you had to be there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you can hear the recording but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite the same.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Theatre is like literature, it opens your eyes to how others see the world.â&#x20AC;?

Anyone who appreciates a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good bedside manner can probably thank a professional actor currently playing the role of the eccentric Ethel Banks in the Classic Theatre Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Neil Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit comedy, Barefoot in the Park, which the Capital Critics Circle calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;a very entertaining production,â&#x20AC;? running until Aug. 2 at the wheelchair accessible, air conditioned venue at 54 Beckwith Street East (at Harvey). Catherine Bruce, originally from Ottawa but now a resident of Toronto, has played professional stages across Canada, and is also a familiar face from countless TV series, as well as commercials for everything from Celebrex and Lotto 649 to a spot as a hockey mom in a Don Cherry ad. But among the most interesting and challenging of her many diverse roles is that of â&#x20AC;&#x153;patientâ&#x20AC;? in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known as the Standardized Patient Program. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there that she joins other actors in role playing for the benefit of young doctors, physiotherapists, and pharmacists in training, as well as foreign-trained doctors upgrading their Canadian credentials. Bruce often has to imagine what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to have a specific physical or mental ailment and, with the aid of preparation sheets, acts our her role over the course of a very exhausting day during which she and each doctor-to-be have seven minutes together, followed by two-minute breaks, after which the process begins anew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be emotionally draining, especially when you are dealing with life and death issues and you are playing this role seven times an hour, all day long, with a different set of physicians,â&#x20AC;? Bruce says.

Jacques Schryer (site manager), Barb Gray (camp director), Jay Brennan (president of Smiths Falls Rotary Club) and Carol Lloyd (president of Easter Seals Canada) celebrated the receipt of $11.184.30 by the Smiths Falls Rotary Club July 15. The funds will go towards replacing the main hall’s roof with a new steel option. To the right, the steel roof on the dining hall (shown above) is an example of what will be installed next spring on the main Camp Merrywood facility thanks to a generous donation by Smiths Falls Rotary.

Camp Merrywood campers sent a chant of ‘S-U-P-E-R, super is what you are’ up to the roof tops of the Easter Seals campground July 15 when Smiths
Falls Rotary Club formally donated $11,184.30 to help replace the roof on their main hall. The generous donation was the last of Maude Weston’s Endowment Fund she left with the service organization a number of years ago. The late Weston

Who wouldn’t want to vote in an election where everyone gets a piece of chocolate at the end? While the four federal party leaders will no doubt be offering voters similarly sugar-coated promises over the coming weeks between now and the Oct. 19 federal election, two local democracy reform groups are promising – and will deliver – chocolate during a mock election, to illustrate the inequities in Canada’s current voting system. “I move it over to the emotional,” said Norm Hart, in explaining his highly visual, Pavlovian experiment at the McMartin House in Perth, on Wednesday, July 29, from 7 to 9 p.m., in the Edna Green Room. The event is being put on by the Citizens’ Democracy Forum and Fair Vote Canada. “Our goal is to bring in proportional representation,” said Hart. As for the Forum, their goal is to encourage citizens to “get out and vote and understand the issues.” And how will he show this to an audience? By way of a mock vote. Like a real election, people will vote for one of four colours. “Whichever colour wins, I tell those people to come up and they can all pick up a chocolate bar, and the rest of you, you can all go home,” he said with a laugh. “You never win hearts and minds with statistics.” But, don’t worry, there is still hope chocolate. Like the back-to-back

1979 and 1980 federal elections, in a way, shortly afterwards, there will be a do-over of sorts, this one asking for votes on four fruits. After the votes are tallied, everyone can come up and get some chocolate. The Citizens’ Democracy Forum has held three similar events in the LeedsGrenville riding, in Brockville, Elgin and Athens. Three of the four major party candidates showed up, save for Conservative incumbent MP Gord Brown. “The room we had (for the Brockville event) was right next to his office,” laughed Hart. For the Perth event, New Democratic Party candidate John Fenik, Liberal candidate Philippe Archambault, and Green Party candidate Anita Payne, have all agreed to attend. Incumbent Conservative MP Scott Reid has been back in touch with Hart and a member of his office staff said that “he will pass it on to this scheduling office.” Hart is quick to point out that this will not be a debate. “(The candidates’) goal there is not to engage in a panel discussion. They are not there to make statements, (but to) take part in the general audience discussion.” Hart has always had a keen interest in politics. He has a master’s degree in political science, and recently retired from teaching writing and public speaking at St. Lawrence College. He said he finds it “heartening” that federal Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau has See VOTERS page P2

“It’s not the full amount, but hopefully it’s going to help out,” said Jay Brennan, president of the Smiths Falls Rotary Club. The Rotary donation will be paired with other club support to fund the estimated $26,000-$28,000 project. Easter Seals staff and campers rejoiced with the major funding announcement last week, clapping and smiling in time. “On behalf of all of us, a sincere thanks to all of you,” said Carol Lloyd, president of Easter Seals Canada who attended the presentation July 15. The roof work will take place next April when workers, including Easter Seals staff, will replace the 20-year-old shingles with a new steel roof structure. Work to raise the funds began pro-actively some time ago and wrapped up just in time. Jacques Schryer, site manager, said the hall’s roof did experience a leak this season, but he was able to repair it with some shingles until the permanent repair is done next spring. “We’ve maxed out our limit on it,” Schryer said. This renovation project is part of a larger
effort to install steel roofs throughout Camp Merrywood. Five years ago the dining hall, adjacent to the building that will be worked on next spring, enjoyed such an upgrade. Schryer said the new roof will be in the same style and design as the dining hall example. The Rotary Club organization has been supporting the work of Easter Seals for decades. Each year the Smiths Falls Rotary Club volunteers to cook up hamburgers for an outdoor barbecue for all the campers and staff, while a local band plays music for everyone to enjoy. This year, they chose the night of the donation for the barbecue, making the evening very special. “We were all aware of the great things that happen at Camp Merrywood,” Brennan said. According to Lloyd, the Rotary Club helped to purchase the camp lands and build the camp in 1948 for children with polio. Lloyd thanked the Rotary Club of Smiths Falls for their more than 67 years of continued support and expressed a wish to continue this strong relationship into the future.

promised to study a new form of voting system in the next parliament. Trudeau has promised to make 2015 the last unfair election in Canadian history – something Hart said he finds flattering as he accused Trudeau of stealing Fair Vote Canada’s motto, but he is happy to let it go. “There has been a shift in what he is saying,” said Hart of Trudeau’s voting reform proposals. Media reports state that Trudeau appears more personally in favour of ranked ballot voting, but Hart appeared lukewarm to the idea since “it’s closer to (the current) first-past-thepost (FPTP),” system. Personally, he would like to see a “directly proportional and representative” voting system. In essence, there would be the regular FPTP vote, “so you would know who your MP is.” Then, the chief electoral officer would count the ballots cast across the country and voting in the House of

Oct. 19, “I’m going to vote for Scott Reid locally, but, I’ll vote for Justin (Trudeau) nationally.” However, while attendees will be voting on colours and fruit on July 29, he will be bringing some examples of what he feels are disproportionate and unfair election results – some of them quite recent, like in Alberta, where the third place party, in terms of popular support, formed the official opposition.

Commons would be apportioned out based on the percentage of votes. For example, in the last federal election, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives won 39.62 per cent of the vote. They would still have walked away with their 167 seats on May 2, 2011, but would only have about 39 per cent voting power in the house. “It works quite well,” said Hart. “The MPs role would change” with parties not having to appeal to special interest groups, or highly specialized regional concerns, but would try to broaden their appeal. Another proposal, of which he says he is in favour, is the New Zealand model, where voters receive two ballots. They vote for their local candidate on the FPTP model, but then receive a second, national vote. For example, in the LanarkFrontenac-Kingston riding this

‘Go Set A Watchman’ copies flying off Perth bookstore shelves Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Harper Lee’s newly recovered novel, Go Set A Watchman, a sequel of sorts to her classic 1960 novel To Kill A Mockingbird, is flying off of the shelves of Perth’s book stores and library. The Book Nook and Other Treasures on Gore Street East had 15 pre-orders for the book, and ordered a further 15. As of the afternoon of Wednesday, July 15, the store had only four copies left. The books had arrived at 1 p.m. the day before. “Hardcovers usually don’t fly off of the shelves,” said store owner Leslie Wallack. She called it “the most anticipated book of the year… but it still shocked me,” as to how brisk sales were. “I usually only order a handful of hardcovers,” she said. “I’m pleasantly surprised.” Even before the July 14 publication date, “I completely sold out,” of copies of Mockingbird “in anticipation of this one. (They) wanted to re-read it.” Around the corner on Foster Street, The Bookworm’s copy of Watchman had literally just arrived, and put up on display, alongside another offering, The Mockingbird Next Door: Life with Harper Lee by Marja Mills. “There’s a lot of hype about it,” said store owner Tina Gateley. She already had a sale notice on the book, but as she stocks mostly used
books, Mockingbird “always sells very well,” and “to all ages, teens, adults.” In fact, she usually has one copy in the adult classics section, one in the children’s classics section. “The requests (for Mockingbird) have certainly gone up in the past week,” said Gateley. “All year round it’s a big one. It’s a classic, right up there with 1984 and Animal Farm, which I get asked for a lot.” While George Orwell is well represented on this list, she adds that Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and “those guys are still in big demand.” Kitty-corner across the road at Backbeat Books, Music and Gifts on Wilson Street West, Christine Chu sold her first – and only – copy, that very morning, having received the book the day before. “I’ve run out of copies right now but they are on order,” she said of Watchman. “It sold right away. I’ve been a little iffy with ordering the hardcovers lately. I’ll get one or two in and see how it goes.” She made a point of making sure to get Watchman on her bookshelves as soon as possible, “just because of the hype around it.” Chu read Mockingbird in high school, and still has a copy of the 2010 50th anniversary edition on sale. “I haven’t sold it for a while,” she said. “We’d probably run younger so that’s probably the reason.”
Watchman was written first in the 1950s, but, after her publishers read the draft, they suggested that Lee go back and write a second novel, written from the perspective of Scout, the young girl, in the 1930s. That second novel became To Kill A Mockingbird, and won the Pulitzer Prize for literature. Watchman tells the story of the Mockingbird characters 20 years later, with the now grown-up Scout returning home to visit Alabama from her new home in New York. There has been controversy over Watchman, since Mockingbird’s hero, the lawyer Atticus Finch, has morphed from a crusading liberal lawyer, defending his client – a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman – both in court, and literally defending him from a lynch mob outside the jail, into a racist, now fearing that blacks will overrun the state’s schools, and that they are an inferior race. (The book’s title is taken from scripture, Isaiah 21:6, in the King James version of The Holy Bible. In the Cambridge edition, the quote goes: “For thus hath the Lord said unto me, ‘Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.’”) Libraries The Perth and District Union Public Library has one copy, and an audio book, read by Louisiana actress Reese Witherspoon.

book has one hold on it. “I actually did order that one (book) as soon as I found out” that it would be published, said chief librarian and chief executive officer Erika Heesen, during an interview at her office on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 15. “That was a no-brainer.” Heesen read Lee’s original book, and is “eagerly awaiting the chance to read the next one.” “Anything that is of particular interest to the public, we will be sure to have a copy of,” said Heesen. “It’s too big a publishing event not to have one,” agreed Rachel Warren, the Perth children’s librarian. Her own personal, pre-ordered online copy, arrived the day before. While she read the first chapter, she said “was tempted to sequester myself” to finish the book, but, she also wanted to spend some time with her husband – and to watch a new episode of Orange Is The New Black, of course. “It’s very exciting,” she said of the novel, which, according to Lee’s lawyer, was discovered some years ago in a safety deposit box in Lee’s Monroeville, Alabama home. Wanda Proulx, the chief librarian at the Lanark Highlands Public Library in Lanark village, however, said that while one person has asked about Watchman, “we haven’t ordered that (book),” and they have no copies in their collection, she said July 15.

At The Great Canadian Cheese Festival, held every June in Prince Edward County, the company launched its new sheep milk Wensleydale cheese which met with great reviews by the thousands in attendance at the event. As a company renowned for its stronghold of award
winning cheddars and specialty cheeses made with cows’ millk, this is the company’s first forage into making cheese from 100% pure sheep milk. and it is already carving its own niche in the market with is creamy richness and slightly sweet flavour. With the expertise of their specialty Cheese Maker, in the production of both goat and sheep milk, the company is now looking to create an entirely new line of innovative cheese products using both types of milk.

They came, they saw, they judged. And for the first time, too. And not just for their first stop on a journey of seven communities vying for the national Communities in Bloom (CIB) crown, but this was the first time ever judging for judges Brad Beatty and Lorraine Flanigan. While the final results of just who will walk away with the CIB laurels will not be known until a national ceremony on Oct. 3, in Kamloops, BC, Karen Rennie, the Town of Perth’s tourism manager, who played host and tour guide to the judges, believed that they set a high standard against which the judges’ six remaining communities will be judged. “They were really impressed that the community was involved with it and that it was not just municipal government,” said Rennie during a telephone interview from the Perth Museum on Monday, July 13. There were “certain aspects in particular,” that they appeared impressed with, “but they had to keep their poker faces (on),” said Rennie. While Perth won five out of five “blooms,” last year, in the provincial competition, it will be hosting this year’s provincial awards in September at the Perth Best Western Plus Hotel. During their visit, the judges were taken to Conlon Farm, the Perth Museum, Last Duel Park, the Old Burying Ground and, interestingly, the town’s landfill site and water treatment plant. “They want to see how you keep it tidy,” said Rennie, because, while lawns can be cut, and flowers planted in anticipation of a visit by a panel of judges, the day-to-day infrastructure is also of interest. The town’s lagoons and geotubes were of particular noteworthiness since they are “a system that not a lot of communities have,” she said. “They were very impressed with the environmental action,” she added. At Conlon Farm, they took note of the condition of the sod and the fact that the town does not use pesticides. The judges arrived on Wednesday, July 8 and stayed until the afternoon of Friday, July 10. While the judges did tour private gardens, Rennie pointed out that “floral is a very small component,” she said, with seven categories of criteria overall, like landscape, tidiness, environment, floral, and other considerations taken into account. Having competed at last year’s provincial competition, Rennie says that Perth was able to “build on our success from last year,” calling it a “good basis to start from.” One of the constructive pieces of criticism from 2014 was that at “some of our entrance signs, we could put a bit more floral,” like at the entrance signs on Highway 7. Rennie added that “I want to give a big shout out to everybody (for) really stepping up.”
when they are actually happening. “We need people to call in when something is happening or when they know who is responsible for an incident that has already occurred,” he says. “Taxpayers share the burden of the costs of these incidents of vandalism.” “Often people think what they see happening is ‘none of their business,’ but it definitely is your business,” Gray added. “This is our community, and we all have a part to play in keeping it beautiful and safe. It’s OK to speak up.” It’s easy to contact the police if you see something happening or have a tip about who was involved in something that has occurred. If you see vandalism in progress, call 9-1-1 or the OPP Communications Centre at 1-888-310-1122.

ing and tourism. We shouldn’t tolerate vandalism.” Incidents of this sort of vandalism generally cost the town between $5,000 and $10,000 per year, and that is not including costs borne by individual property owners and businesses. “Although some of the incidents are caught as part of routine patrols, police simply cannot be everywhere,” Stephanie Gray, Perth Police Services Board chair, said. “Community engagement plays a crucial role in curbing the number of social disorder incidents taking place, such as vandalism and loitering.” Lanark OPP Detachment Commander Insp. Derek Needham says acts of vandalism tend to occur quickly, making it difficult for police to get there

Kingston Show & Shine to ride on another year The Kingston Show N Shine got its start in 2008 as a last-minute event geared to a small group of motorcycle enthusiasts. Organizers were astounded when it attracted a huge number of participants and viewers. From that first event the Show N Shine has grown exponentially every year. A major milestone was achieved in 2012 when organizers honored the Olympians of Special Olympics Ontario, and the event has raised funds and awareness for countless charities and organizations ever since the first show. “We have strongly believed that bringing motorcyclists and charities together has proven to be very successful,” says organizer Guy Paquette. “Show N Shine has become a yearly tradition of fundraising by motorcycling enthusiasts for charities and causes.”
“This year we are honoring the Fallen Heroes and Wounded Warriors of Military, Police, Fire and Ambulance, who knowingly and willingly work hard every day to protect our lives.” On their behalf, Show N Shine is donating the proceeds of the 2015 show to Almost Home, a non-profit organization which provides a place of comfort and respite for families whose children are receiving medical treatment in Kingston area hospitals. The event is free and open to all public to view, with the expectation that visitors will make a donation to the selected charity. To be held on July 25th from noon to 5 p.m., the family friendly event includes a custom bike display of all types, sizes and brands, plus a variety of shows, including Jason Thorne Freestyle Motocross and the Ontario Provincial Police Golden Helmets
Motorcycle Precision Team. “In addition to the motorcycle displays, we also host lots of unique and interesting vendors, delicious food and live music performances throughout the day,” says Mr. Paquette. “In fact, for the first time this year we are extending the festivities to include a wrap-up party with Jack Astors starting at 8 p.m., during which we will announce the winner of the annual motorcycle raffle.” Another draw for motorcycle enthusiasts, and especially Sons of Anarchy Fans, is the custom-designed

It was a hot and humid weekend but that didn’t stop a colourful array of ducks from racing in the 2015 Great Tay Duck Race. The annual fundraiser for YAK Youth Services is held in conjunction with the Stewart Park Festival every year. This year, 1144 lucky ducks were sold, raising $5720 for YAK, Perth’s youth centre. The winning ducks were: • First Place – Duck # 0517 owned by Jeannette McParland and winning the cash prize of $500 sponsored by OMYA • Second Place – Duck # 0548 owned by Molly Forsythe and winning the cash prize of $300 sponsored by Eaton. • Third Place – Duck # 0243 owned by Brianna Bienias & Amy Pollard and winning a cash prize of $200 sponsored by McCormick Small Engine. This year, special prizes were also donated by local businesses for ducks that showed extra effort or needed extra encouragement including: • Whirlpool Willie - Duck # 0128 owned by Howard Huggard won a spa day from The Beach House • Tide pool Ted - Duck # 0376 owned by John Gemmell won treats from Laura Jane’s Pet Food • Lazy Daisy - Duck # 0423 owned by Evelyn Powell won a gift basket from 3M Perth • Mischievous Mallard – Duck # 1174 owned by Laurie Winter won a prize from The Running Goat
tank depicting Tommy Flanagan, otherwise known as Chibs and Mark Boone Jr., more widely known as Bobby. The tank has been signed by both of the men and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with proceeds going to Almost Home Kingston. “Two mottos that we began using since day one, which are often duplicated by other groups, are ‘Ride For a Reason – Ride For a Cause’ and ‘Bikers Care’,” Mr. Paquette explains. “These truly sum up in a nutshell what we endeavor to accomplish every year. Show N Shine 100 percent not for profit and is solely supported by donations and sponsors every year.” He adds that in the past some shows have seen more than 7000 motorcyclists and motorcycle lovers, but the numbers are always anticipated to grow each year moving forward.

Dude. You gotta try it.
have pushy friends. OK... “pushy” isn’t really the right word. “Enthusiastic,” “persuasive” and “persistent” are more accurate adjectives. Long-time readers may remember me referring to “my Calgary friend.” She is the one who inspired me to try running despite the fact I was convinced I could never ever do it. After a colossal foot collapse ended that venture, she came at me with a Fitbit and encouraged me to at least keep moving. My foot is better and, thanks to what she taught me, I have been able to slowly work back into running. You still won’t catch me sprinting, though. If she hadn’t actually shown up at my door and taken me for my first tentative run, I likely never would have discovered how much I like it. Last week I wrote about my longstanding resistance to doing any sort of movement in front of people, especially when it’s something new. Another pushy – I mean persuasive – friend, who I think we should call “Cookie” just because I can do that kind of thing in this here space, suggested that karate might be fun for the kids and me to do together. “Just come and watch a class,” Cookie sez. Warning bells sounded. After all, it’s new. And it involves showing up. And movement in front of people. And occasional shouting and hitting things. I started thinking about yoga, which I tried and liked a decade ago, but then life got busy with babies. “Yoga’s nice,” a little voice in my head said. But another part of my brain was whispering: “Try karate. Try something new. Meet different people. Put yourself out there. Quit being afraid.” Sometimes the hardest part of trying something new is simply getting out the door. And my persuasive and persistent friend Cookie would ask, pretty much every time there was a class, “Are you guys coming tonight?” One night I worked up the courage to go, but didn’t because no one else was interested. Another night Girlchild decided we should go, and she was furious with me when I chickened out at the last minute. I know. It’s all very silly. But YOU try living with my brain! Finally, the planets aligned and I managed to convince myself that (duh) watching a class is not the same as taking a class. So we went and encountered a friendly, welcoming group of people.

But then they all did push-ups. Argh. You know I can’t sprint to save my life, but have I mentioned I also have basically no upper-body strength? (Stay tuned, by the way, for a followup column soon about my efforts to remedy back pain after being belatedly diagnosed with scoliosis-complicatedby-getting-older. I may call it: “Conversations with my chiropractor” or “In pursuit of the ability to bend again.”) Anyway, while I have very strong typing fingers, they are not much good when it comes to supporting my own body weight. I actually find this a little irritating because I’m pretty good at lifting heavy stuff and dragging it around, such as furniture, small children, giant laundry baskets, tree limbs and large bags of yard waste. I guess years of avoiding gyms due to performance anxiety are catching up to me in myriad ways. There has been a dearth of push-ups, planks and crunches in my life. Girlchild, of course, can do a kabillion of all of those things at once, followed by the Highland Fling, a straddle hold and a dozen back flips. So anyway, we returned for a second class. There were no push-ups this time, which gave me a glimmer of hope. Girlchild got on the mat – and, of course, loved it. Boychild has observed, but politely declined. I watched a couple more classes, chatted with some members and... waffled. I am a champion waffler in the “Trying Something New” category. Just make me the Waffle Queen, already. Then I had a really bad day combined with a particularly sore back. When I took Girlchild to class that night, my personal storm cloud and I had pretty much decided I would forever remain a spectator. But the people are so nice and everyone has fun and.... “Dude. You gotta try it,” that whispery voice in my head said. (Sometimes she calls me “dude.” I don’t mind.) A couple of days later I did. It was fun. And it didn’t even kill me or anything.

Getting into a Confederate flag flap
he car was the star. For us little boys in the kindergarten classroom of St. Joseph Catholic Elementary School in Brampton, that’s all there was too it. It was the fall of 1984 and the Dukes of Hazzard was in its final season on CBS. Quite a few boys had orange Transformers lunch boxes – like I did, and so did Brent Stead, so, I ended up accidentally opening his lunch from time to time – but a few also had Dukes of Hazzard lunch boxes. The hero of the show for us boys was, of course, the car, the General Lee, a 1969 Dodge Charger. (The boys wouldn’t become interested in Daisy Duke until Grade 6 or so.) It was, quite simply, the most beloved car for the fouryear-old set. Its doors didn’t open, one of the boys explained to me, so you had to run and jump in through the windows. It went really, really fast, and could do all sorts of tricks, like jump over swing bridges when they were up. And instead of a regular horn, it played some silly song (which we later found out was “Dixie” the Confederate States’ unofficial anthem.)
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says We puzzled over the flag on the hood of the car though. It’s not the American flag, we knew. Maybe it’s a state flag, someone said. We didn’t think much more about it. But the issue has circled back now, after the recent killings of nine innocent civilians at a prayer meeting at a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, by a white racist gunman. Now, everything bearing the Confederate flag is up for debate, and, likely removal. The owner of the General Lee, professional golfer Bubba Watson – I’m not making that name up – has promised to remove the Confederate flag from the car and replace it with the stars and stripes. And the Confederate flag has finally come down from the grounds of the

South Carolina legislature, before a crowd of thousands. The push against all things Confederate is gathering steam. According to The Guardian newspaper, the mayor of New Orleans, Mitch Landrieu, has promised to remove statues honouring Confederate generals from his city’s streets, and to re-name some streets named in their honour. What an interesting, if unintended time, for the release of Harper Lee’s “new” novel, Go Set A Watchman, in which Atticus Finch, the hero of To Kill A Mockingbird (1960) is revealed, in later life, to actually be a racist. He is fine defending a black man against false charges of raping a white woman, but, no, he doesn’t want those uppity blacks going to the same school as his people, or sitting up at the front of the bus, or being served at the same lunch counter as him, or… well, you get the idea. Interestingly, you can still see the Confederate flag around these parts. In Blakeney, in Mississippi Mills, a Confederate flag – which we hear has

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Support for pig scramble boycott from reader Dear Editor:
I just finished reading (Laurie Weir’s opinion piece) re: pig scrambling, and I am in total agreement. I don’t understand why the S.P.C.A. hasn’t stepped up to the plate on this situation, because as
(she) said, it is nothing but abuse for these poor animals. Her idea of plastic pigs is terrific, and there are lots of ways for the children to have fun, without terrorizing an animal. There is enough abuse out there. I have witnessed it numerous times, and
rescued as well. I also agree with your statement of questioning the adults standing on the sidelines and watching this abuse take place. What is wrong with people? No wonder there is so little respect for animals and therefore humans as well.
I would love to join in (her) boycott, and I hope there are many, many more who will do the same. Kudos for writing this article, I’m sure there will be some interesting replies. Sincerely, Janice Doyle

Reader sides with columnist about fair activity Thank you Laurie Weir for your compelling and heartfelt reflection on pig scrambles in this week’s paper. I had never heard of them before and I am appalled. I’m far from surprised though, as I’ve seen and heard countless examples of our widespread and often light hearted human abuse of other animals. I am the editor of the book Suffering Eyes: A Chronicle of Awakening, written by my mother Franceen
Neufeld, and recently added to the Perth & District Union Library. I think that you and anyone who shares your perspective on pig scrambles would appreciate reading Suffering Eyes, which chronicles my mother’s own agonized shift from seeing fun and celebration in events such as these to seeing the horror of them – “when we descend so deeply into seeing that our angle of vision shifts and we find ourselves looking out through the suffering eyes of oth-
ers, experiencing their agony and terror as our own.” Thank you Laurie for seeing and naming the abuse, not just standing on the sidelines and laughing along or writing a neutral news report on a “family” event. You have expressed yourself in no uncertain terms. “I can’t stand it.” Neither can I. I’m with you! Calvin Neufeld Perth
Wow, the Pan Am games are on! reader says sarcastically Dear Editor,
Canadian athletes are claiming record numbers of podium spots, and medals. Those really cleaning up at these games though are of course, in my opinion, the huge construction companies, CEOs and the financial elites, who have once more with their Liberal government brethrens taken from the provincial treasury. Remember how we were all assured that these games would come in on budget, $1.4 billion, and on time? Well the budget has been blown by well over $1.1 billion and counting. Don’t be surprised if the final public bill for these games comes in at more than double the original price and hits $3 billion! The Liberals absolutely cannot learn from their previous “mistakes” with taxpayer dollars, remember ORNGE, Private Labs, Gas Plants, SAMs and the raft of enormously expensive P3s projects that have so far wasted well in excess of $8.2 billion dollars? They even hired CEO, Ian Troop, paid him $477,000 a year, and he still billed taxpayers 91 cents for parking and $1.89 for a cup of tea. He has been fired. They have spent nearly $400,000 on the porcupine

hung on a garage there for more than 30 years – still flies. In Smiths Falls, a Confederate flag flies from the front porch of a residence, with the stars and stripes on either side. (Also, inexplicably, there were also flags from Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan fluttering in the breeze, as of Monday afternoon. I have knocked on the house’s door, on assignment for the Smiths Falls Record News, and no one was home, or answering the door. I left a note and my business card in the letterbox. No reply yet.) As a friend of mine explained about the Blakeney flag, it was probably erected more out of a misdirected sense of “country pride” than anything overtly racist. Now, we’re not immune from such
mascot, $10,000 in Timmy’s gift cards and over $800,000 on flying, wining and dining VIPs. Now in a scheme, that will in my opinion further enrich the richest and impoverish the rest of us, they are determined to sell off Hydro’s transmission lines even though it’s a huge money maker for the province. They’ve done all this at the same time they have been strangling our health care, home care, education and public services to death! Because they claim they are broke. Ontario has the lowest per capita spending on health care, higher education and public services in Canada. Our hospitals routinely run at over 100 per cent capacity. Would you pay to stay at a hotel so you sleep in a hallway or a broom closet? Yet that is exactly what is expected in our hospitals. Hundreds of health care professionals have been laid off and thousands more face the axe. We have fewer hospital beds per capita than Mexico! Our youth graduate as indentured servants, while the provincial Liberal government pays them less than minimum wage for summer employment. Our public servants have been told the cupboards
things here in Canada. Our First Nations population, like African-Americans south of the 49th parallel, is more likely to end up in jail than other Canadians. They live on reservations, or are otherwise discriminated against, housing wise. They live shorter lives than other Canadians, and are more likely to be less healthy. Aboriginal women have been, and still are, going missing and ending up murdered far too regularly, far too disproportionately. We have no reason to feel smug. But there are enough good flags to identify with. The Confederate flag isn’t one of them, especially now. And I’d tell my four-year-old self that the General Lee looks much cooler with the new flag.
are bare that they must self-fund any raise by selling their benefits or accept four more years of zero per cent wage increases, which if accepted would mean 10 years of wage freezes in the last 20. Meanwhile this government has managed us into a structural deficit, through utterly reckless, massively wasteful, completely ineffective corporate tax cuts that leave the province unable to provide basic services. Billions are added to our provincial debt annually in borrowed money to then lie as dead money in corporate accounts! Enough already! It’s time we demand that our government’s represent our interests not Jesse James (Bay) street’s interests.

Tribute to New Orleans to be held at Perth Manor in August
That’s a lot of bags!
Foodsmiths in Perth is celebrating the 10th Anniversary of their BYOB (Bring your own Bag) program. So far, the ongoing campaign has saved in excess of 1.5 million bags going into landfill. Foodsmiths donates 10¢ to charity. Each month a new local charity is selected. So far the BYOB program has raised more than $50,000 for local charities. To celebrate, Foodsmiths is holding a BYOBaby contest. Prizes include a reversible stroller, and baskets of baby products. Here, cashier Lisa Bell holds one of Foodsmiths reusable cloth bags.
Perth Manor has nailed down a date and theme for its dinner this summer. A Tribute to New Orleans will be on Wednesday, Aug. 19 and the owners, Linda and Gordon Craig say they are thrilled with their musical guest this year – Spencer Evans. “Spencer is an incredibly talented and versatile musician and is no stranger to the Kingston and surrounding area,” said Linda. “In early days he studied clarinet at Queen’s with Gordon (Craig), and since then has appeared frequently at various clubs, resorts and festivals! Spencer has travelled all over the world playing clarinet and piano as a soloist and as part of various combinations and groups. He lived in New Orleans at one point and I’m sure wishes he could live there again.” The event will begin at 6 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres. Gordon is busy researching and finalizing the menu. It will be a multi-course, tapas style dinner, with numerous tastes of traditional New Orleans Cuisine – so many fantastic dishes to choose from, it was too hard to choose just one or two – so in true Gordon style, he is going to prepare as many as possible. Be sure to come with a big appetite and we’ll supply the beads. Tickets for the dinner and concert are $100 including HST. Tables/seating will be on a first-come first serve basis. Full bar service (including wine by the bottle with dinner if you wish) will be available at an extra charge Priority will be for the Craigs’ mailing list subscribers until August then they will advertise in local newspapers. Tickets/reservations can be made by calling The Manor at 613-264-0050, ext. 2.

Beveridges locks offers tenting experience without the hassle
"Man Cave" Gift Certificates NOW Available:
Because YOUR Dad Has Enough Socks.
Stacey Roy
For the first time, visitors to the Rideau Canal system will have the opportunity to settle in and truly experience the canal as the builders did – by camping in unique, permanent structures known as oTENTik. The local lock station, located 10 minutes from Perth and Smiths Falls, has welcomed four oTENTik units (that can accommodate up to six people each) this season right along the banks of the Rideau Canal channel. “This is an opportunity for people to stay alongside a world heritage site. To see history come alive right in front of you,” said Kelly Fitz-Hardy, visitors’ service team leader with Parks Canada. The Upper Beveridges Lock offering is unique from other oTENTik sites across Canada. The deck on each unit has been generously expanded from a minimal standing space to a large deck with two Adirondack chairs, the barbecue and more area to enjoy. “If they’re coming out here they want to enjoy the outdoors,” said Meaghan Bradley, Parks Canada spokesperson. The covered kitchen area where two large picnic tables are located is unique to this site as well. “The design of the kitchen shelters was an inhouse job and a labour of love. They were made by the guys who build our lock gates,” Fitz-Hardy explains. The thick posts and black metal details will be familiar to Rideau Canal fans. The term oTENTik is a mash up of the French word ‘authentique’ and the English word ‘tent’ and is intended to look like the pitch of a tent. The oTENTik is a cross between a tent and cabin. It is completely enclosed and protected against mosquitoes and the weather. Other elements that sets this experience apart from traditional camping is the ability to sleep in raised beds with mattresses, not have the set up and take down of camping, and be able to stand up in comfort in the living quarters. Visitors have the use of a table and chairs, a bench, locked food box a barbecue (bring your propane) and fire pit. The addition of such creature comforts has attracted a number of family bookings this season, and those who use the oTENTik as a great experience while traveling from one destination to another. “While a large number of Canadians and visitors from abroad still cherish the camping experience, more and more of them are searching for a renewed camping offer that incorporates key elements of comfort that they would normally find at home,” writes Bradley. Bookings opened up June 19, 2015 for the local units, and Bradley said the booking office is pleased to see many weekends filling up and some mid-week interest as well. Future campers can book by calling 1-877-RESERVE (1-877-737-3783) or go online to www. reservation.pc.gc.ca where a complete list of oTENTik locations can be found. The units are available for $100 a night, and bookings are welcome right up to Thanksgiving weekend. Visitors are asked to bring pillows and linen, food, etc., but there are some lawn games available from the gatehouse. Wood and ice purchases are also available from the lockmaster upon request. The Upper Beveridges Locks units are part of an incredible oTENTik expansion throughout the federally operated national historic site system. It is expected 238 oTENTiks will be available across Canada this year, which is almost double from the

year before. The concept began in 2012 with one oTENTik in Jasper National Park. The Upper Beveridges Lock units are the first to be found on the Rideau Canal system and are considered a pilot project to see if such an offering would be successful throughout the route. “I think the plan is to kind of expand through the rest of the canal,” Bradley said. Traditionally, the Rideau Canal system has not allowed camping to take place along its banks. Work to bring the oTENTik experience at Upper Beveridges Lock began with planning last November followed by the physical effort that got underway as soon as the frost came out of the ground. “Six months ago it was brush,” Fitz-Hardy said pointing to the oTENTik site today. Crews were on site early in the spring to build the site, including the fire bits each site enjoys. At the same time, renovations to the existing washroom facilities were undertaken. While the washrooms do have some steps to climb, the shower is very mobility-friendly with just a small edge above the ground to step over. The site also boasts a dishwashing station. This site was selected due to its quiet locale, central location and proximity to two urban areas. “We also thought to breath some life into the Tay Canal,” Fitz-Hardy said. Last month, Beveridges Lock station locked through 74 boats with 30 mooring overnight. Many of these are canoes and kayaks, as the Tay Canal makes for a fantastic one-hour paddle in calm waters. The oTENTiks are located at the mouth of the Tay Canal. This system brings boaters to Craig Street in Perth. The first Tay Canal got its start in 1831 when a group of citizens created the Tay Navigation Company who started to build the canal themselves believing it would help trade in the town. In 1834 five locks with rough masonry and wood was opened, but in 1884 the government approved a formal canal passage from the Rideau Canal to Perth. The work took nine years, five contracts and twice as much as was anticipated, but the Canal, as we know it today, was opened in 1891. Detailed information panels can be found at Lower Beveridges Lock.

Plans underway for a chair lift at the Legion Hall By Terry O’Hearn
The Hall of Remembrance military museum, located in six upstairs rooms in the Legion building, is open regularly on Fridays and Saturdays from 1 to 3 p.m. during the months of May through November. Updates and additions to the exhibits are ongoing, so another visit will no doubt be worthwhile. Plans are underway for renovations to our washrooms, and the installation of a chair lift from the hall to the upstairs level. More information will be available here when contracts have been finalized and construction dates set. We are relatively quiet now for the summer months, and the Executive has been officially been granted authority to carry on the branch business until the next General Meeting in September. Don’t forget to send any news my way, through the email link on our website listed below. Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier dated October 5, 1967: “Perth’s Haida continues to bring honour and distinction to Perth. The World War Two replica - built by Jack Walker – this week added yet another honour to its laurels when Mr. Walker was informed he would receive a plaque for having the most unique boat to visit Expo 67 during the month of August. The July winner was a Chinese Junk. Mr. Walker and his wife Ferne, aboard the Haida, in late August cruised up the St. Lawrence to the Expo site for a visit to the Exposition. The Haida, 46 feet long, is an exact replica of the World War Two cruiser which is presently being used as a mu-

The South African War, better known as the Boer War, was the first time Canada officially sent troops overseas to a war. This war lasted from 1899 to 1902 and started when fighting erupted between Great Britain and two small republics in South Africa which was occupied by descendants of the first Dutch immigrants. The reasons for the war are rather obscure, but
related to the usual European habit of imposing their so-called civilization on the implied backwardness of another people. Quebecois and recent immigrants from countries other than Britain wondered why Canada should fight in a war half way around the world. As we have seen, history would be doomed to repeat itself.

Readers’ Reaction to Self-Inflicted Disease Recently I asked readers to respond to the column, “Want to be a Millionaire?” I received a ton of mail. A Quebec judge had ruled that smokers could be rewarded for ill health and death even though they knew smoking had been a health hazard for 50 years. So I proposed getting rich similarly by starting a class action suit against food companies for creating the perfect storm of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. After all, this is a monumental crisis compared to Dr. Gifford-Jones smoking. L.P. from West Kelowna, British Columbia, writes, “I totally agree with your every word. These poor saps didn’t know that tobacco was harmful to their health? What a society we live in. The next thing these poor babies will be suing MacDonald’s, Burger King and other food chains for making them fat by forcing them to eat all those unhealthy burgers and fries.” D.T. from Leamington, Ontario, says, “ Thanks for the column regarding the ridiculous illogical lawsuit in Quebec. I fully agree that people, as well as governments, should not be allowed to sue a company as a result of ill-informed choices they made. You are right. It could be the start of a slippery slope.” He adds, “ Everyone complains about the billions spent on medical treatments for people who smoke. However, since smokers die an average 10 years sooner than those choosing a healthy lifestyle there is a significant cost saving in pension payouts.” (Professor Richard Peto at Oxford reported on a large study several years ago proving that smokers died 20 years sooner). J.W. from Windsor, Ontario, writes, “I feel your logic is open to question. Food companies have for many years openly printed on each package, can or container, the ingredients listed therein. Albeit, they had to be legislated to do it. Cigarette companies on the other hand, to my knowledge, did not do so. “ Another reader remarks, “Your article made my heart sing. We live in this litigation-riddled society where people can’t or won’t take responsibility for their own actions. Every time I see a smoker light up, I cringe and think of the cost to me and society. Thanks for a well written article. I think there are millions of folks who agree, but are afraid to stand up and be counted.” O.P from Saskatoon says, “Thanks for the column. You nailed it. I agree 100 percent and wish more people would say it.” B.M. remarks, “I was glad to read your column about selfinflicted health issues. In particular, you echoed sentiments I have expressed about tobacco. When Prince Edward Island joined several other provinces in suing tobacco companies for incurring health costs I pointed out tobacco was legal and the government receives tax revenue. So how can the province hope to obtain money from tobacco companies for a product whose production and sale they abet? Of course the same could be said about alcohol”. LG from Lethbridge, Alberta,” You were right on this week and for years I’ve enjoyed the fact that you never sit-on-thefence in dealing with controversial issue. My accolades for enlightening the public. Keep up the good work.” The general reaction from readers was that we are reaching a turning point in society where “Big Brother” can no longer look after us for foolish behaviour. And that our health care system, as we know it, will go down the drain unless we accept responsibility for our own health. Improving lifestyle is really not that complicated. It all boils down to common sense. Unfortunately, in 2015, common sense has become an uncommon commodity. This decision by an educated judge to reward people for doing things they darn well know are harmful to their health is just another example of old fashioned horse sense gone broke. Many years ago I wrote in this column that “The problems of our society are generated by supposedly intelligent people who are largely fools”. In the interim I have not changed R0033358338_0723 my mind.
Amateur historian seeks Otter Lake cottage that housed Soviet defector Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Just where on the shores of Otter Lake did a Soviet defector lie low with his family while Stalin’s thugs searched for him? A local amateur historian, Ronald Doering, an Ottawabased lawyer with a family cottage on Otter Lake, is trying to figure out just where on the lake the famed Soviet defector Igor Gouzenko – famed as being the man who started the Cold War – hid out with his family for a month in 1945. In the past few weeks, Doering’s neighbour Greg Maloney saw him reading a history book on the Second World War. “When Greg saw me reading (the book), he said, ‘Did you know that there was an Otter Lake connection?’” to Gouzenko. Maloney has lived on Otter Lake since the early 1950s, in a cottage his father built. Maloney showed Doering an Ottawa Citizen article he had kept about the erection of a plaque at Dundonald Park in 2004, which alluded to the Otter Lake connection. Using documents and articles and books like Canadian journalist John Sawatsky’s book Gouzenko: The Untold Story (1984), Doering has been digging, and driving around, to see if the Gouzenko cottage is still standing. “I’ve driven around to see if I can see a cottage there, a three bedroom one,” with a stone fire place, said Doering, during an interview at the newspaper office in Smiths Falls on Wednesday, July 15. So far, to no avail, but, Doering knows that the popular summer escape area has a connection with Canada’s post-wartime past. Gouzenko’s Ottawa Valley escape On Sept. 5, 1945, Igor Gouzenko, a cipher clerk at the embassy of the Soviet Union in Ottawa, walked into the offices of the Ottawa Journal, with a large tranche of pages of documents from the embassy. “He was a very bright guy,” said Doering. “He didn’t trust the police. He thought all police were corrupt, especially where he came from.” He trusted the Journal because he had followed their reporting on the June 11, 1945 federal election, won by William Lyon Mackenzie King’s Liberals. A rather conservative newspaper, the Journal had been critical of King, and Gouzenko saw that, in Canada, “newspapers are free to be critical of the government,” unlike the propaganda sheets Pravda and Izvestia back in Russia.

At left, lawyer and amateur historian Ronald Doering holds up a copy of John Sawatsky’s 1984 book “Gouzenko: The Untold Story.” Above, Otter Lake, as seen from the boat launch the south shore, just off Highway 15. Where on these shores did the Gouzenko family hide away from Stalin’s henchmen, searching for the defector?
However, he was rebuffed by several Journal reporters, in essence, “turning down the biggest story of their lives.” His English was limited, and he was becoming increasingly agitated, worried that his superiors would become suspicious as he had not shown up to work that day. “It’s war, it’s war, it’s Russia,” he is said to have exclaimed in broken English. So, Gouzenko went to go get his wife, and returned with her – to no avail. “His story was unbelievable,” Doering quoted Journal reporter Elizabeth Fraser as saying in Sawatsky’s book. With the war having just ended days before, with the surrender of the Japanese in Tokyo harbour, the idea of investigative reporting in Canadian newsrooms was still rusty, she said. “(It was) still very much in the ambiance of controlled news,” said Fraser, with the wartime censorship that went with it. Finally, he was told to “go to the Department of Justice,” but, upon arriving, was told by a commissionaire, “Sorry, we’re closed for the day.” By now, Gouzenko was getting frantic. He had been told the previous week that he was being sent back to Moscow. But, “he and his wife loved Canada.” They had to share an apartment with three other couples in Russia, but they had a nice apartment on Somerset Street West, near the intersection with Lyon Street North, in Ottawa. Ms. Gouzenko loved it because “she was able to
bathe every day,” unlike in Russia. On Sept. 6, he went to the local courthouse at 2 Daly Ave. (now the Arts Court, a theatre, art museum, and creative space.) He spoke with Fern Coulson, a secretary to a local judge. She spoke to a friend at the prime minister’s office, but even there, King’s men were not taking it seriously. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, however, did think that something was amiss, and assigned two officers to follow Gouzenko. “They (the RCMP) didn’t get credit for this in some of the books,” Doering said. Having returned home, again defeated in his efforts to get nearly 200 pages of embassy documents into someone, anyone’s, hands, Gouzenko looked out his apartment window to Dundonald Park across the road – and noticed two men acting suspiciously. Having lived in Joseph Stalin’s Russia, he was used to living in an atmosphere of fear, and the paranoia that went with it. He became very agitated, and went to his neighbour’s apartment, asking if he and his family could spend the night. No sooner were the Gouzenkos in the apartment next door, then two burly Soviet Embassy security men came up the stairs and broke into the Gouzenkos’ home and began rifling through their house. Igor was watching the commotion through his neighbour’s keyhole. Just then, the Ottawa police arrived, as the Gouzenko’s neighbour had hopped on his bike and driven down to alert them. “What are you two doing
here?” said the Ottawa police at the odd scene. “You’ve broken down the door. This is a criminal investigation.” The Russians told them that they had diplomatic immunity and that it was an internal embassy matter that they were dealing with. The Russians were shown off, and on Sept. 7, the Ottawa police picked up Gouzenko and his family. Their orders were “get him out of here. If he was a defector, he was clearly unsafe,” said Doering. In the corridors of power, the situation was now becoming critical. “They (the Russians) had just been our allies” in the war, said Doering. “Mackenzie King referred to Stalin as ‘Our Friend.’” Indeed, the just-departed Franklin Roosevelt, the American president, referred to Stalin as “Uncle Joe.” Such a defection could seriously have hampered relations with Moscow. “They drove out of town and the first place they came to was Smiths Falls,” said Doering. According to Sawatsky’s account, it was a hotel on the “main road” in town, so, it likely may have been the Hotel Rideau or the Russell Hotel (where Pharmasave now sits) on Beckwith Street North. “It was late in the day, they were hungry,” said Doering. One of the officers knew the owner and, though the restaurant facilities on site were closed, he made them some food. Afterwards, they decided to head east, towards Kemptville. Near the Rideau River, they saw three cottages, so they pulled over. The woman who ran the cottages said that they were not for rent, but the officers pleaded with her, pointing to the Gouzenko’s

young child. The woman took pity on the young Russian family and their Canadian protectors, and tidied up two of the cabins. “They didn’t go directly to Otter Lake,” said Doering, as some accounts make out. By Sept. 8, “they started to take this more seriously,” and they sent out Russian-speaking experts to meet with Gouzenko in Carleton Place. By this time, “obviously, the Russians were looking for him,” said Doering. On their way back to the cottage on the Rideau, their car blew a tire in North Gower. Gouzenko had to help change it. By now, even the officers were starting to get paranoid. Had it been an act of Soviet espionage? Or simply the perils of driving on back country roads in 1945-era eastern Ontario? That night, when they returned home, the officers began to regret not renting all three cottages, as a man drove up to rent the third cottage. He was carrying a briefcase and a typewriter. “I’m sure it’s a spy!” said Gouzenko. The officers agreed to keep an eye on him. He left suddenly in the middle of the night, and they grew more suspicious. In time, however, they discovered that the mysterious neighbour was just a Smiths Falls teacher who was typing up his thesis. They stayed near Kemptville for nearly two weeks but, by now, the colder autumn weather was starting to set in. The officers began looking around for a more winter-proof cabin they could move the Gouzenko family to. One of the officers remembered a three-bedroom cottage with a stone fireplace on Otter Lake,
just west of Smiths Falls, that he had vacationed at one year. It was available and the Gouzenkos spent most of October there. Officer Bill Campbell stayed with them while they were on Otter Lake, driving in to town to pick up provisions, as well as cooking for the family. As the authorities pored over the documents, “they decided that this guy really was a big catch.” The pages of documents exposed a Soviet spy ring in Canada with links to the United States and Great Britain. Montreal area MP Fred Rose was also discovered to be a Soviet agent, as were several bureaucrats in the United Kingdom and Canada. (Rose had been elected in June of 1945 as Canada’s only elected Communist MP.) The biggest catch in the documents was Alger Hiss, who, that year, was the Secretary General of the founding meeting of the United Nations in San Francisco. Those documents were how the Americans “found out about Hiss,” and his work for the Soviets. While the Ottawa Journal had dropped the ball on the story, the American authorities tipped off famed radio reporter Drew Pearson, who broke the story on Feb. 6, 1946, which brought the story to the public’s attention. In 1947, the family finally moved to Port Credit in what is now the Toronto suburb of Mississauga. They were given new identities, as a Czech immigrant couple. Interestingly, for a man consumed by documents, Gouzenko would go on to acquire one more piece of paper from the Canadian government – the Governor General’s Award for Fiction 1954 for his novel, Fall of a Titan.

Perth rower helps Canadian women’s rowing team power to Pan Am gold desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Kate Goodfellow is Perth’s new golden girl. Goodfellow and her teammates on the Canadian women’s quadruple sculls team took home gold on Wednesday, July 15, at the Pan Am Games in Toronto, beating their worthy adversaries, the Americans, on choppy waters in St. Catharines. “It’s been an incredible few days for Canadian racing,” said Goodfellow, speaking via telephone that afternoon, moments before stepping out to attend a charity event with her teammates. “We stayed ahead of them (the Americans) early and stayed ahead.” Taking nothing for granted, they knew that while third place Argentina was good, the Americans would give them the most trouble. “You know they will put up a good fight,” said Goodfellow. “We are always

the “really challenging conditions” on Martindale Pond, at the St. Catharines Rowing Club on Henley Island. “It was a very strong headwind (with) some pretty big whitecaps” at the start of the race, she recalled. But once the front of their boat glided across the finish line, “we knew immediately (we had won). We knew crossing the finish line.” They were eight seconds ahead of Team USA, and 10 seconds ahead of the Argentines. Looking up into the stands, they “saw a sea of white and red and it was a pretty incredible feeling. We got a nice chunk of time to go and hug our family and friends.” Even better, they did not feel rushed, as they were the last race that day. “We just enjoyed our time. (It was) just huge excitement.” This gold medal will be great psychological motivation going forward, with Goodfellow saying it “will do a lot for the team,” especially with “such a
boost (with) the experience of success at home.” But their road to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is not assured. They began training just days after their big win for the rowing world championships in France this September, the qualifying event for the Olympics.

East Nepean Eagles fly off to Canadian Little League championship
It was a double-elimination knockout round and the East Nepean Senior Little League Eagles did just that. The Eagles delivered the KO punch to the Thunder Bay North Side All Stars under the blistering sun Saturday afternoon in Lanark as they punched their ticket to the Canadians this week in British Columbia – for the second year in a row. It was a pitchers’ duo as Liam Kennedy came out on top and left Thunder Bay batter swinging as the Eagles defended their provincial title in a sweltering 2-1 nail-biter. East Nepean kept the score sheet clean until the fourth when a single by Dylan Scoccia started the Thunder Bay rally at the top of the inning. He then scored with Chris Humby’s RBI double. Same inning, East Nepean’s turn at bat saw Thunder Bay’s hurler, Carson Hennx get into some trouble on the mound. A pair of walks to Darien Cockell and Sam Ollson resulted in the tying run and the game winner crossing the plate. It was textbook ball for the remainder of the game, as Kennedy struck out three of the remaining six batters he faced, including his final K. His team then mobbed him at the plate. It was a far cry from Friday night’s game as the rain threatened the cancellation of their first of two possible games. Friday’s game was Thunder Bay’s chance to win the title. Since their re-
cord was better than East Nepean’s, one win would be all northern Ontario team needed. The Eagles needed two wins. The Eagles came out flying Friday night and pounded around the All Stars for a huge 14-1 upset, setting up Saturday’s barnburner. Following the win, Eagles’ manager Bryan Richardson said he was proud of his boys. “It was a must-win for us last night (Friday), and they are a good team… we knew we could play with them,” he said. “We just had to execute. The kids came in confident and relaxed. We got a couple good breaks at the beginning. One kid hit a grand slam… which helped momentum and from there the kids just built up their confidence.” Richardson said the championship win felt “a little surreal right now. It’s so nice. I’m just happy for the kids. They put a lot of time an effort in. To see these kids’ faces, knowing that we’re going to go to Vancouver to represent Ontario is really all for them. It’s all about the kids.” Richardson said if the boys play some good solid baseball, “and keep it clean, we’ll have a chance against any team. That was a good team right there (Thunder Bay) and I think we’re as good as anybody.” Team members include: Ricardo Petrocco, Alex Boulianne, Liam Dennison, Liam Kennedy, Brad Richardson, Darien Cockell, Sam Ollson, Isaac Kiewan, Ben Kitts, Jeremy Brown, Robert Losenzo, Jack Legault, Sam Kitts.

As the FIFA Women’s World Cup wrapped up with its new champion, 20 Perth kids fondly remember their parts in the Germany versus Sweden quarter-final game at Landsdowne Park in Ottawa. The Perth United Soccer Club was chosen to send 20 budding soccer stars to escort the starting line-ups onto the field for the pre-game festivities. They arrived at the pitch 4.5 hours early to rehearse their parts, get fitted for uniforms, and given an inside glimpse of what it was like to be a world class athlete. At 3:30 p.m., their moment arrived. They walked hand in hand onto the field to the cheers of a sell-out crowd of 22,000 fans, and millions more watching on TV. They were calm and composed, and they represented beautiful Perth splendidly. After the anthems of both countries, they got to sit in their own section and take in the rest of the game, which Germany eventually won. A few hours spent on a beautiful, sunny, Saturday afternoon involved a once-in-a-lifetime event, and gave these kids stories to tell and made them soccer fans for life. Perth kids were also chosen to represent the local soccer club again at an Ottawa Fury FC game Wednesday night as ball kids! Submitted by the Perth United Soccer Club

MOORE, Donna – October 12, 1951 - July 23, 2013. No words I write can every say, How much I miss you every day. As time goes by, loneliness grows, How I miss you, no one knows! I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, But all I have are memories, And your photos in a frame. No one knows my sorrow, No one sees me weep, But the love I have for you Is in my heart to keep. I’ve never stopped loving you, I’m sure I never will, Deep inside my heart, You are with me still. There is a place in my heart That no one else can fill, I love you so, my Dear, one And I always will. Missing you every day Love Bill and family

Remembering is easy, I do it everyday, but missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. You see life has gone on without you, but will never be the same. Brenda and John, Paul and Karen, Donna and Bob and family

IN MEMORIAM MOORE, Donna C. (nee Cobb) - 1951-2013 Peacefully sleeping resting at last. The world weary trouble and trials are past. In silence she suffered, In patience she bore. Til God called her home, To suffer no more. Remembered by Dianne, Murray and Family Heather, Earl and Family
LEVI - In loving memory of a dear Wife, Mother and Grandmother, Helen Elizabeth Levi, who passed away July 21st, 1987. Many years have passed since that sad day, When one we loved was called away; Good took her home, it was his will, But in our hearts she liveth still. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by the family.
Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;GRADY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In memory of a dear husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and a greatgrandfather, Michael James who passed away July 21, 2005. Those we love donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away, They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear.

WENDZICH, Janet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In loving memory of Janet Wendzich, beautiful wife, mom and nana, whom God called home one year ago. Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartache, When someone speaks your name. They say that it gets easier, The pain that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bare, Memories will bring joy, Through all the love we shared. So we recall your laughter, We wipe away our tears, And trust we will be with you again, At the end of our life years. We miss you, we love you, forever in our hearts, Your loving Family

POLK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In memory of Nancy Charlotte Polk (nĂŠe Hutcheson) March 5, 1954 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; July 28, 2002. Thirteen years ago, on a hot, humid Sunday morning, we gathered by your side, for the last time, to say goodbye. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an impossible task: To let go of the person you love most, and to finally allow the agony to take hold. A searing ache gripped our hearts; a crushing panic seized our minds; an immense sadness overcame our spirits, and we set out to somehow forge a new path. Without the comfort of your love, without the guidance of your wisdom, without the influence of your energy, the road of life has been wrought with hardships. While we are grateful for our many blessings, Our grief yet casts its dark shadow on all our joys. Loving and missing you for 13 years, Rick, Ryan, Megan and Matthew

Ant Man delivers in latest Marvel superhero production MOVIE: Ant Man STARRING: Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lily, and Cory Stoll DIRECTOR: Peyton Reed RATING: PG Chances are you’ve been seeing the hype for Marvel’s Ant Man for a while. Ant Man is the next big chapter in the Marvel movie universe, but if you’re wondering who Ant Man is don’t feel bad because you’re probably not alone. Darren Cross (Cory Stoll) is on the cusp of replicating Hank Pym’s (Michael Douglas) shrinking technology. The key is the Pym Particle that shrinks the relative space between atoms. Back in the ’80s Hank used his technology to be the superhero known as Ant Man, but he eventually decided his technology was too dangerous. To keep it out of the wrong hands Hank became a recluse, and kept

the secrets of the Pym Particle to himself. Once Darren has cracked the Pym Particle he plans to use it to make weapons. Hank needs to stop Cross, but he’s no longer able to wear the Ant Man suit. He needs someone else to take on the role. Enter Scott Lang (Paul Rudd). Scott is an electrical engineer, a thief and an ex-con. He’s trying to turn things around, but it hasn’t been easy. So when Hank makes Scott an offer he can’t refuse Scott becomes the Ant Man. With Hank and his daughter Hope’s (Evange-
line Lily) help Scott learns to master the shrinking powers, and the uncanny ability to communicate with ants. Their plan is to steal Cross’ technology, and save the world. Despite being a founding member of The Avengers in the comic book, Ant Man is not the most well known superhero. The second Ant Man, which is who this movie is about, is even more obscure. So why make a movie with a third-tier hero? You use Scott Lang because, as the charming rogue, he’s a more likeable character than Hank Pym who’s kind of a jerk. You make the Ant Man movie because his unique super powers provide some truly unique visuals and action scenes. Ant Man has the effects, action, excitement and humour we’ve come to love from Marvel films. You can be laughing one minute and on the edge of your seat the
next. It makes for a wildly entertaining film. The cast is superb. Michael Douglas portrays Hank Pym as the elder statesman, but with a touch of that volatile jerk. As the daughter of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, Evangeline Lily is every inch the superhero in waiting. As villains go Yellowjacket is about as obscure as Ant Man, but that doesn’t stop Cory Stoll from taking full advantage of the opportunity. Paul Rudd is an unlikely superhero. It’s not that he wouldn’t have been my first choice, it’s that he wouldn’t have even entered my mind. That said he delivers the quips and the punches like he was born to be a comic book hero. Ant Man may not have been the most well known superhero, but I think that’s about to change. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
After unexpected diagnosis, man wins his long battle against hepatitis C At age 38, Steve Pollard was well established in his career, happy in his marriage, and proud of his good health. “I had nothing to worry about other than entertaining my granddaughter and getting rid of a few weeds on the lawn,” he says. Although he had never taken a day off work due to illness, the nagging flu symptoms that showed up in 2009 were getting the better of him. Apart from the fatigue, his wife Fay became particularly concerned when Steve’s eyes began to look yellow. She insisted he see a doctor. Convinced there was nothing to worry about, Pollard made an appointment with his family doctor who sent him immediately to a specialist for further testing. That day they discovered significant scarring on Pollard’s liver. Further testing would reveal a chronic hepatitis C infection. Hepatitis C is a serious liver disease caused by blood-toblood contact that may lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, cancer, disability and death, if left untreated. In Pollard’s case, as in many others, the symptoms did not appear until significant damage was already done to the liver. It is estimated that of the 250,000 people living with hepatitis C in Canada, an estimated 44 per cent are unaware they are infected. Like Pollard, many people carry the disease for 2030 years before experiencing symptoms. According to Ecaterina Damian, Hepatitis Project Manager at the Canadian Society for International Health (CSIH), baby boomers are more likely to be infected than other age groups as
a result of medical procedures, such as blood transfusion or dental work, performed before universal infection control measures became the norm. Other atrisk groups include immigrants from countries with high rates of hepatitis, aboriginal populations, street youth, injection drug users and prison inmates. Other possible sources of infection include shared toothbrushes, nail clippers or razors, or un- sterilized electrolysis or acupuncture equipment. Pollard says his best guess would be a garage tattoo he acquired in his teens. Pollard’s doctors prescribed a drug regimen and, due to his relatively good health and positive attitude, were optimistic about the outcome. The disease was more resistant than they expected. “During the third week of treatment my jaundice went up yellow like a canary and I found myself in emergency,” says Pollard. “I was told the jaundice was on the rise do to my liver not filtering my blood properly to my spleen and kidneys.” When Pollard was removed from the drug therapy, his situation deteriorated rapidly. His mental functions were affected. He developed encephalopathy, a disease that affects the memory and alters the decision-making process and ability to maintain control of body movements. “My memory was clouded from day to day at first but then my memory went blank from one conversation to another.” It became evident that Pollard was no longer able to function in his managerial role, and would have to leave his job. “For the first
time in 28 years I was unemployed with nothing to fall back on.” The journey that followed included edema – or build-up of fluid in the body – that saw his weight rise from 190 to 320 lbs., an exercise and sleep program managed by his wife, a slew of daily pharmaceuticals, and finally the wait for a possible organ transplant. “Hanging on to life became a daily routine not knowing when the next episode was coming or in what form it was going to appear.” Unfortunately, the first liver transplant was unsuccessful. During the long wait until a second transplant was possible, Pollard’s kidneys began to fail. Following a successful second transplant operation, the new liver was accepted by his body and Pollard’s strength grew through his careful nutrition and water intake, and his daily walks lasting up to several hours. It was too good to be true. The following October, just six months after his surgery, the hepatitis returned and after testing it was determined that the new liver was starting to scar. “Thankfully I was put on a then-experimental drug, and after four weeks of treatment, my symptoms were almost gone. I knew then I had a shot at life once again.”

Five years later, Pollard says he is living a pretty normal life, thanks to the grace of God, the support of his wife and family, and a great team of medical specialists who became like family to him throughout his long battle with hepatitis C. Today he is an active spokesperson for liver health with the Canadian Liver Foundation, and encourages everybody to get tested. “Get informed, get tested and tell a friend or loved one to do the same,” he says. “If you’re not doing it for yourself, do it for them.” World Hepatitis Day (WHD) is July 28 and Damian says it is an ideal opportunity for Canadians to talk to their healthcare provider about hepatitis, and request testing. World Hepatitis Day activities are being organized across the country, and Niagara Falls, the CN Tower, Halifax City Hall and the Ottawa Heritage Building will be lit up for the occasion.
