Hydro pole fire shuts off power Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – A hydro pole caught fire and snapped on Sherbrooke Street, shutting power off to a section of Perth on Monday.

“The electricity went out (and) I looked out the window and there was a little flame shooting out from inside of it (the pole),” said eyewitness, Mile Morghan, who was taking part in a baking lesson across the street at the Youth Action Kommittee

(YAK), when the incident occurred shortly after 2 p.m. “It just fell over,” he said of the top of the pole, which was held up by power lines.

Perth Fire Department officials told YAK members to stay inside the building, as Sherbrooke Street from Herriott to Foster was blocked off as the pole continued to smolder.

Clients from the community living program in the Old Perth Shoe Factory building were sent home, and some businesses were told that the power would be out for between five and six hours.

News – Get your motor running.

Head out on the highway – and find yourself in Lanark village, for a celebration of cars.

The annual Lanark Highlands Classic Cars on Tiffany Lepack/METROLAND the Banks of the Clyde will be rolling into Clyde Memorial Park, Lanark village, on Sunday, Aug. 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event is free for both spectators and parCommunity - The Manotick Antique and Classic Boat Club held the 39th annual Ottawa International Antique and Classic Boat show at Rideau Ferry. The show featured differ- ticipants.

As it is, the Lanark show will be on the same weekend as a similar show in Brockville, but it is far enough away that they will not likely draw too heavily from the same pool of car enthusiasts.

“Every entrant gets a gift, a photo of their car, as well as a food voucher,” said Trimble, though he hastens to add that it will just be a day of enjoyment, with no trophies. He also cautions that “if it rains, they (the classic car owners) won’t bring their vehicles. Most guys love their cars more than their wives!” he joked.

The event has grown considerably, from 70 cars in 2012 to 165 last year. It was originally founded as part of the celebrations for the village’s 150th anniversary.

“We were pretty-well floored when it started last year,” he said of the surge of cars arriving in the village. “It’s an ideal location,” an improvement from its first year at the skating rink, and the parking lots some shows are held in nearby communities.

Emergency first responders deal with the stresses of ‘bad calls’ “More and more officers I know personally reach out,” said OPP Sgt. Kristine Rae, during a telephone interview on July 25. The OPP has its own peer support team that engages in critical incident stress response.

“Our (team) members are not counsellors, but... they know what it is like,” said Rae. The force also employs its own EAP, which Rae herself has utilized.

But, like paramedics, there is also a stigma amongst the men and women in blue.

“In our field, it is very different to ask

Desmond Devoy

News – Emergency first responders tend not to ask for help – they’re so often the ones people go to for help.

But after a bad call they may need help, too.

That is why a program brought in last year for employees of the Lanark County Ambulance Service, the Critical Incident Stress Management Team (CISM), had its first major test earlier this month, as county paramedics mourned the suicide death of one of their colleagues.

On the night of Monday, July 21, not a single Lanark County ambulance was to be seen on the roads. Instead, ambulances from Ottawa, as well as Renfrew, North Frontenac, and Leeds-Grenville counties, took up positions around the county, as Lanark’s 85 paramedics gathered to mourn the death of one of their own at the Carleton Place garage.

“That’s what we do as ambulance services,” said Ed McPherson, chief of the Lanark County Ambulance Service on Thursday, July 24. “They (the CISM team) shouldered the load this past week.”

The ambulance garage in Perth has been a very quiet place over the past few weeks when they found out about the death. McPherson said the paramedics are starting to get back to their regular joking between calls, but the loss is still fresh.

“We were all shocked,” said McPherson. When it came to his job, “he was the guy we all turned to... he will be missed.” If his children were ever in need of an ambulance, and he could choose whom to send, “he was the guy who would pick up my kids,” he said.

Adding to the sense of loss was that McPherson had trained him as a rookie many years ago.

“I think that this is a turning point for a lot of people,” said McPherson.

McPherson has been a member of the ambulance services for the past 33 years, but he has noticed that it has only been since the troops started returning home from Afghanistan that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), started getting more attention.

“It is being recognized now,” he said.

“It (PTSD) is here, too,” he said, gesturing to the nearby garage. “A lot of guys will live by the code, that we are expected to deal with it. This is a job that does cause you a lot of stress.”

According to Global News, even before this most recent, local death, there had been 13 other suicides amongst emergency first responders (paramedics, police officers, firefighters, dispatchers and prison staff) in a recent 10-week period.

“Thirteen in 10 weeks, I wouldn’t have known that,” admitted McPherson of just how shocking the numbers are, even to him. “This has never happened before to our service.”

Like soldiers entering a battlefield, “we work in uncontrolled environments... that the average person does not get exposed to,” he said, seeing people at their most vulnerable. “You go into

for help because they (police officers) are often the ones being asked for help,” said Rae. “I know people who have struggled.”

She has been on the force for 24 years and had “definitely” seen a change in attitudes amongst the police, especially in the last 10 years.

While some incidents are clear markers for follow-up with some counselling for officers, the OPP peer support team is also utilized “if an employee is See EMERGENCY page 5 R0012820862_0731

Ed McPherson, chief of the Lanark County Ambulance Service, stands beside one of his ambulances in the ambulance garage at the Great War Memorial Hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital on July 24. robot mode,” he said, when one’s training and adrenalin kick in, to get the job done, doing a “rapid assessment. You don’t really think about how badly they are hurt.”

It is only afterwards, when the paramedics silently shuffle back into the garage, that McPherson can tell if something is wrong.

“You can tell when a call is bothering the guys,” he said. Calls involving children really “freak” the guys out. “It gets quiet after a really bad call.”

As though that were not heavy enough of a burden, “you are expected to go out on the next call right away” if one comes in, with no time to unwind. If five calls come in succession, the paramedic goes to all five calls.

That is where the CISM team comes in, and follows up with the paramedic. “(I hear) it was a bad call. Tell me about that call,” is how the follow-up phone call will often start. Like many other workplaces, the service provides an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that employees can access anonymously.

“It is changing,” said McPherson, about his profession’s attitude towards stress. “That is the big battle. They don’t want to it admit the change is coming.”

In his three decades on the job, he has seen the change for himself.

“In the old days, you would say, ‘suck it up,’” McPherson said.

When he was in college in 1980 for ambulance training, the emphasis was on dealing with “emergency medicine and saving the patient.” One day, however, a man best described as a bit of a “hippy,” long hair, beard and all, approached him and his fellow ambulance students and handed them a book and said, “You’ll probably see a lot of stuff on the street. Learn to deal with it.” It was a book for paramedics who worked on the streets. That was the extent of the

training he received about dealing with the stresses of the job.

Now, change is happening not only in society, but politically, too. McPherson, who also sits as a councillor on Perth town council, is keeping an eye on is Bill 2 being put forward at Queen’s Park

by Parkdale – High Park MPP Cheri DiNovo. The New Democrat is proposing changes to the Workplace Safety and Insurance (WSIB) Act to allow people suffering with PTSD to be allowed to get WSIB benefits.

The Lanark County CISM team was initiated last year, and after the paramedic’s death, the team received a compliment of sorts, when the Leeds-Grenville service approached McPherson and said, “we heard your CISM team did a great job. We want to do that as well.”

The support system for any first responder goes beyond their family at work, and flows out to the home front, too. As a medical emergency worker, McPherson’s wife works at the Perth hospital, and “she has a job worse than me.” But her expertise has proven to be a boon to her husband, both as a spouse, and as a fellow emergency worker.

“It’s a major help,” he said, praising his wife. “I’ve had a great career and it is because I have a wife who is a nurse.”

For the widow of his former student though, her ambulance family will now step in where her late husband used to be – even offering to cut her grass if she needs.

“You would do it for anyone,” he said.

Police pressure While the sound of an ambulance siren in the distance may bring a sense of relief to those waiting at the scene of, say, a car crash, letting them know that help is on the way, police officers are very often the first on the scene of an incident – and it too takes a toll on them.

News – Cheryl Jensen admires Hillary Clinton, but she got to be president before Hillary did.

Jensen is the new president of Algonquin College, and she saw first hand just how far-stretched the college’s campuses were last week during a whirlwind tour of eastern Ontario. She had wanted to see the Ottawa, Perth and Pembroke campuses on the same day – before realizing what a tall order that would be. “I was extremely honoured, elated,� she said of the July 3 phone call which confirmed the board’s decision. “I was extremely happy to get that call.�

Jensen comes to the area, having most recently served as vice president, academic, at Mohawk College in Hamilton. She will assume her new duties on Monday, Aug. 25, taking over from outgoing president Kent MacDonald. She was selected after a four-month international search, out of a candidate field of about 50.

Before coming to Algonquin, she worked for the past 31 years as a professor, dean and vice president at Mohawk. During her time in Steel Town,

well as vice president of engineering technology, apprenticeship and corporate training. Further to this, she also serves as chair of the Skills Canada Ontario board of directors. “I see it (trades) as something I will focus on,â€? she said. “When you hear reports about the skills gap‌ that is especially critical with the trades. I have a passion for the skilled trades.â€?

Like Clinton, who began her 2008 campaign for president with a socalled “listening tour,� Jensen said she will not be coming into office to impose her will on a college that she sees as already running pretty smoothly. “My style is to consult with people and build relationships,� she said.

After consulting widely, only then will she “see what it is they want to change. We’ve a lot to learn from each other.�

One goal, however, once she begins her mandate, is to spend as much time as possible visiting all of the college’s different campuses. One way she intends to bridge the gap is by utilizing technology, with her inaugural address being streamed live online.

While she stated that Algonquin was “in really good shape, there is no

identified.” The team members volunteer to help out with follow-up calls and to talk because “they are willing to come back and support their fellow employees... let them know they are not alone.”

She admitted that the OPP cannot force anyone to seek help, but, if an officer is refusing help and, say, a partner approaches a supervisor, believing that the affected officer could be a risk to themselves or others, “there are mechanisms in place to address that.”

Firefighters’ toll While paramedics may be “freaked out” by calls involving children, it was a major traffic collision involving children that convinced Steve Fournier to become a fire fighter.

About 25 years ago, he came upon a collision between a transport truck and a car. The carnage had just occurred, and as he hustled over to the car, he saw that the mother and father in the front seats were both dead. The two children in the back seats were in rough shape, but were still alive.

“That’s what triggered me to get (into) the fire service,” said Fournier, 25 years later, sitting at his desk at the Perth fire service’s chief, remembering how he helped get the children out of the car and out of harm’s way. “I always wanted to give to my community. That was my first

traumatic experience.”

In his 24-year fire career, he estimates that he has seen anywhere between 20 and 30 dead bodies, but, he takes it in stride.

“I think about it all the time, but I don’t stress about it or lose sleep over it,” he said, during an interview on July 28. He had just been perusing an information leaflet handed out to fire-

extracting people from collided cars, they can opt for manning the pump or traffic duty.

“Some guys don’t want to be in the nucleus of that,” said Fournier. “(Then) there are guys that don’t mind extraction.”

Fournier also finds it cathartic to keep his firefighters up to date on how someone they helped

was about 20 minutes away. Despite his best efforts as family members watched on helplessly, his efforts were in vain, and the man was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital later that day.

After many calls, there is a debriefing for the volunteer firefighters, every second Wednesday. If a firefighter looks as though he may need

HANNA PAVING

After many calls, there is a debriefing for the volunteer firefighters, every second Wednesday. If a firefighter looks as though he may need additional help, “we will go into a room and (talk) it out. If he needs professional counselling, we get that.”

fighters about preventing emotional overload, but he shrugged and said that “90 per cent of firefighters don’t have a problem with that. I’ve been to many accidents, rail collisions, drownings, multiple deaths. It never affected me.” However, he admitted that he has never had to contend with a victim younger than the age of 16.

Not that some of his calls have not been emotionally fraught.

“It’s very traumatic to perform CPR on someone in front of family members,” he said. About 20 years ago he arrived on scene of an elderly man having a heart attack. He assisted with CPR until the paramedics arrived, as the nearest ambulance

additional help, “we will go into a room and (talk) it out. If he needs professional counselling, we get that.” But he added that “we’ve never had to have a professional counsellor in… they’ve always talked it out.”

What separates local fire departments from the police department and the paramedics is that oftentimes, “I prepare for the call… you try to prepare yourself.” Also, since they are volunteers, the calls are not their life’s work.

Once they are done with a call, they return to repairing air conditioners or driving forklifts at their day job. Another factor is that, if a firefighter is squeamish about, say,

“We try to come back with as much information as we can to the guys,” he said. “It brings a bit of closure.”

Fournier said that the paramedics are exposed to far worse sights than his firefighters often are.

“They (firefighters) wouldn’t get anywhere near the exposure (that) the paramedics get,” he said.

Plans underway for Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour this December Community – The ninth annual Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour is scheduled for Dec. 6 and 7.

Mark it on your calendar and suggest to your friends that they do the same.

Eight unique homes will be featured on the tour, some historic and some modern but all lovely. They will have been transformed for the holiday season by gifted local decorators, and will be sure to inspire your own decorating. While you are in historic Perth, you can also enjoy our annual Santa Claus Parade on the evening of Dec. 6 and visit the dazzling display of Christmas trees in the Crystal Palace.

Local restaurants, as well as St. James Anglican

Church, will offer specially priced lunches to ticket holders during the tour.

Informative bookmarks have been distributed to area businesses which provide more details about the tour.

They will serve as reminders to invite your in town and out of town friends to join you for this annual Christmas season kick-off in Perth.

Many visitors have told us that they now make the tour weekend an annual event for reconnecting with family and friends.

Not only is the CFUW Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour a fun way to see special homes, it also provides an opportunity to invest in the future since all proceeds are used to provide educational awards to deserving and needy women

and young girls in their pursuit of advanced education. Proceeds also support literacy and other educational initiatives in area schools and libraries. Since the tour began, more than $125,000, has been distributed in Lanark County.

The Canadian Federation of University Women is a voluntary non-profit organization committed to the improvement of the status of women, human rights and to the promotion of education. Once again we are aided in our efforts

by substantial sponsorships from our local community.

Tickets, for $30, will be on sale Nov. 1 at the following locations: Crush Marketplace in Almonte (14 Mill Street, 613-461-2211); Oderin Kitchen Supplies in Kingston (57 Brock Street,

613-531-4544); Unravelled in Merrickville (108 St. Lawrence Street, 613-6551902); Tivoli Florist in Ottawa (282 Richmond Road, 613-729-6911); Perth Home Furniture in Perth (18 Gore Street East, 613264-9876); and Elizabeth

SUMMER SAVINGS!

RLHS meetings more than just gardening Community – If you think the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society is only about gardening, think again. The year started with April’s talk on a winery that applies biodynamic approaches to the growing of grapes. May brought not only flowers, but trees, trees and more trees, with Diana Beresford-Kroeger’s advice that the planet could be saved if every person plants six trees.

June’s speaker, Westport doctor Elaine Riddick, averred that local community planning and action could forestall the exponential growth in tick population and resulting increase in spread of Lyme disease predicted in federal government reports for our area.

Securing our food system is the topic of the society’s upcoming meeting, Wednesday, Aug. 6. Nothing is more basic to life than food. The quality of our food and the security of its supply are critical to our well-being. Since living things began to eat, until the fossil fuel era, all nutrients were maintained in natural organic cycles involving local soil. Growing concerns about the nutritional quality of food transported over long distances, local employment displaced by mega-farming techniques fueled by oil, and a food supply dependent on and threatened by the politics of oil, all make returning to local

food production a necessity.

On Aug. 6, Mike Nickerson will discuss food security issues, along with related shelter, tools, economics and community aspects of life on our finite planet. In his book, Life, Money & Illusion: Living on Earth As If We Want to Stay (2006), Nickerson contends that once we collectively acknowledge that our planet has limits (i.e. no more fossil fuels) and accept responsibility for living within those limits, we are fully capable of adapting and redirecting our efforts to secure well-being for not only ourselves but the next seven generations.

Join the society on Wednesday, Aug. 6 for what promises to be a fascinating evening.

Copies of Mike’s book will be available for sale, amid postpresentation refreshments. Society meetings are held at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall, 24 Water Street, and are free to society members.

Membership is only $15 a year, for eight meetings April to November. Non-members pay $5 a meeting and, if you attend three meetings, you get a free membership.

Letter to the Editor

Positive feedback received from recent hospice series DEAR EDITOR: We would like to thank Metroland Media for the hospice palliative care four-part series: Helping Hands Healing Hearts!

It was a truly wonderful series and much more powerful appearing as a series rather than as individual articles. We have had a lot of feedback from the community on these articles. People have said they were unaware of the range of services available and that they have learned a great deal from the articles about both hospice care and bereavement support. The articles are well written. The reporters have done much not only to make the public aware of services in the area, but also to educate people about hospice palliative care.

Not everyone knows these things and so they miss out on services when they need them. Thank you so much for showcasing the volunteer hospice visiting service, day hospice program and the adult bereavement support groups that are run through Community Home Support – Lanark County. It is so good to hear people in the community talking about loss and end-of-life care. Both are a normal part of life and both are often overlooked in our society.

Rebecca Bowie Co-ordinator, Hospice Palliative Care Services Community Home Support – Lanark County

Commentary

Don’t boat and drive Editorial – There’s nothing better than enjoying a summer day out on the water, with the wind whipping through your hair and the waves lapping the side of the boat. But all too quickly, that scene can turn deadly when you add alcohol and drugs to the mix.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) released a report this week that shows alcohol to be a factor in 42 per cent of the 18 boating fatalities investigated so far this summer season. With the August Civic Holiday weekend upon us, the OPP will be even more vigilant on area waterways.

The police have already been enforcing impaired boating this season with its Operation Dry Water initiative, a national campaign that seeks to raise awareness of the dangers of boating while intoxicated.

Did you know that in Ontario, it’s unlawful for anyone on board a boat in operation to consume alcohol? According to the OPP, “Boaters are allowed to have open alcohol only on boats with permanent sleeping, cooking and washroom facilities built into the boat’s design and only when those boats are docked or at anchor.”

Most boating incidents are preventable. When you get into a boat with someone who is impaired behind the wheel, you are not only risking your own life, but putting the lives of other boaters on the water in jeopardy. Is it really worth it? Driving a car while intoxicated is dangerous, why should operating a boat be any different? It’s not, that’s why the OPP are ensuring boat operators receive the same charges and suspensions that impaired drivers would.

Of course, there was no covering the windows in the summer kitchen...that would have served no purpose with the cook stove blasting away from early morning until after supper. So the main kitchen was always the coolest room in the house, and that was where Mother had collapsed that day, with her face beet-red, and the sweat rolling off the News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp Reporters: Stacey Roy, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Tiffany Lepack, Jeff Mackey Distribution: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-283-3182 ,ext. 138 CLASSIFIED/REGIONAL ROUNDUP 613-283-3182 Judy Michaelis x122 email: jmichaelis@theemc.ca Cheryl Code x133 email: cheryl.code@metroland.com Fax: 613-283-5909

end of her nose.

The noon meal was cooking out in the summer kitchen, and Father and the brothers had already washed up at the basin on the bench at the back door. When they opened the door where Mother, Audrey and I were trying to cool off, a blast of hot air swept into the room like a blowtorch. “Shut the door,” Mother yelled.

With great effort Mother got off the chair, and as if bracing herself for battle, stood in front of the door separating the two kitchens, making sure Audrey and I were right behind her, and the three of us went out like a bolt of lightening to keep the cool air in, and the heat out.

Of course, there was no such thing as a salad plate for dinner at noon hour. Father had to have his meat, potatoes, vegetables, and dessert regardless what the big “Supertest” thermometer said, nailed to the outside frame of the back door.

Father and the brothers loaded their plates as if it was their last meal on earth.

And as soon as their plates were cleaned, they loaded up again. “How anyone can eat in this weather is beyond me,” Mother said, as she cut a raisin pie into four pieces.

We three headed back into the cooler kitchen, which by noon hour was fast taking on the outside heat of the day, but still wasn’t as hot as where Father and the brothers were forking in their dinner.

Mother again collapsed into a chair, and Audrey stretched out on the creton couch, and I stood like a stick not knowing exactly where I fit into this picture. I sure hated to miss a meal. But I wanted to stay close to Mother just in case she passed out, which my sister Audrey said could happen when you were overcome See MARY page 9 • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published.

I picked up a copy of the Renfrew Mercury and stood beside Mother’s chair and fanned her with all my might. She stopped wiping her face with the tail of her apron, and sighed with a contentment we hadn’t seen demonstrated all day.

When one arm got tired I switched to the other, and I wondered if the air I was creating was anything like the fans Mother had in New York City. Well, it must have come close, because Mother told me to go to the cupboard and bring

He kissed me a hundred times. Young bride Margery (Toni Whelpdale, left) confesses to her older husband (Joe Laxton, centre) that she enjoyed being kissed by another man, while Alithea (Kristy Angel, right) sees her predictions confirmed, in a scene from BarnDoor Productions’ new version of William Wycherly’s 1670s comedy The Country Wife, which will conclude its run at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre Aug. 7 through 10. seemingly safe Mr. Horner than try to keep up with her and Joe Laxton is the principal fool, Mr. Pinchwife, who sees a seducer behind every doorway, yet can’t keep his young wife from Horner’s attentions. Jacklin guffaws and Laxton rants through some of the play’s funnier moments.

The title role of The Country Wife (Mrs. Pinchwife) is one of the toughest in the play, as whoever plays her has to sustain an English West-country accent, in addition to handling a complicated role. With “I”s rolled into “Oi”s and every “H” thoroughly dropped (along with many other letters), Toni Whelpdale brings fun to her character. “’E put the tip o’ ‘is tongue between moi lips, ‘usband!” she giggles. “But Oi said Oi would boit it.”

“But you would do it again!” roars husband Laxton. “No’ unless ‘e should force me,” she says with an impish smile.

Benjamin Korol and Brandon Halladay are Harcourt and Dorilant, a pair of rogues who get a little bit reformed by the play’s end, while Ian Jenner is the very funny Sparkish, a “wit” with no her down the sugar bowl with the egg money in it. I felt my way over to the cupboard, barely making out the bowl in the darkened room. Mother took the lid off and reached in, bringing out a coin.

You could feel it was a whole nickel.

“If it ever cools off, we’ll take a run to Briscoe’s and you can get yourself an ice cream cone,” she said.

It was the first time I had ever been given anything out of the egg money.

There was no such thing as allowances back then.

I had no idea how long Mother sat in the cooler room, but when I came down-

sense of humour but lots of funny lines.

Julia Bryant and Satinka Schilling are “the virtuous gang”, the young wives of the older men, whose virtue disappears quickly when confronted by Mr. Horner’s rakish appeal.

The play’s famous China scene provides lots of fun, as the two young women argue over getting some “China” from Mr. Horner, in front of their husbands.

And, finally, Janet Rice makes a late but elegant arrival as Old Lady Squeamish, chasing her wild granddaughter around London. Lady Squeamish’s hat precedes her onto the stage by about two lines but Rice gets as much fun from her lines as from her headgear.

BarnDoor Productions The Country Wife continues their nearly two-decade long tradition of summer classics and it does so in fine style.

The show is fast, fun, funny and entertaining from first to last, showing that Perth’s original community theatre still maintains the energy and originality that have marked their productions since 1995. As they head into their 20th anniversary season in the fall, that en-

Arts – BarnDoor Productions (BDP) summer classic, William Wycherley’s The Country Wife, drew the best opening weekend houses that the community theatre has enjoyed this season. With a one-week hiatus before the second week of the show’s run, BDP are hoping word of mouth from patrons will make the show’s closing run Aug. 7 through Aug. 10 even better.

The classic comedy from the 1670s moves like lightning in BarnDoor Productions’ version, clocking in at one hour and 40 minutes, including an intermission.

With BarnDoor’s summer curtain time of 7:30 p.m. (1:30 p.m. for matinees), the curtain is down and patrons on their way home while the evening is still light, but they agree they’ve had a full measure of entertainment.

First off, the show is a treat for the eyes. From a simple set that consists of stained wood panels that blend into the wood of the proscenium arch to coloured lighting that adds excitement to an array of more-or-less authentic 1670s costumes, including wigs, swirling dresses and cloaks, velvet doublets, swords and some outrageous hats, there is plenty to look at.

There is also plenty be heard, starting with an original soundtrack of dance music from the time, in new arrangements that fill the pre-show and intermission periods. Then the show itself gets underway.

This is a show of words and wordplay and they are deftly handled by the 11-member cast. The first line contains a pun and the last line an alliteration and the company work very hard to make it all happen clearly and quickly and crisply.

Chris Angel, as Mr. Horner, has the major share of the wordplay, taking the audience into his plan to seduce the wives of all of his acquaintances and, simply by being charming and funny, making the audience continue to like him while he does it. Kristy Angel (Chris’ real-life wife) plays the other side of the coin, the honest Alithea, keeping her virtue alive in a world of fools and rogues.

The fools are well represented in the form of two older husbands with tooyoung wives.

David Jacklin (the show’s director, stepping into a role at the last minute) is the too-trusting Sir Jaspar, who would rather hand his young wife over to the

Good, the bad and the ugly from overseas trip

Sweltering rooms

The Dublin hotel, which had been recently refurbished, is a member of one of the most famous chains in the world. Our rooms were ultramodern. I had stressed air conditioning on booking. Experience has taught me to specify air when selecting hotels, wherever possible. Kathy and I were pleased to discover ours worked quite well.

Our rooms were side-by-side and were identical in every respect. Except for one thing. Frank and Wendy’s room did not have air conditioning.

On this day it was an important difference. The hotel was fully booked which was bad. They experienced an uncomfortable night in a sweltering room.

It wouldn’t be the last. Both couples had the same experience several times, partly because the AC over there simply isn’t up to the task. Electrics and plumbing, both are a mystery in the UK and Ireland!

This column won’t be in order because in some cases I am referring to disorder. So I’ll jump back to the beginning. The headline contains the word “ugly� and there was some of that on this trip too.

Rule No. 1 when planning a vacation.

Never be complacent.

I thought I knew better when it came to booking transportation from Heathrow Airport, where we began this trip, to our favourite hotel in the Bloomsbury district of Central London.

Our travel agent reminded me that I hadn’t booked a mini-bus. But flush from years of experience I replied, “No worries, it will be a Sunday and the traffic will be lighter. We’ll take a taxi.�

Normally such a ride would cost ÂŁ60-70.

The Great Britain Pound is currently running about $1.84 versus the Canadian dollar. Yes, London is expensive!

At first we sailed along the M-4 from Heathrow into the British capital. “This is going to be a breeze,� I said confidently.

Anyone who knows London probably knows the roundabout in front of Griffin Brewery (Fuller’s) in Chiswick, West London. They’re the folks who make London Pride, among other notable beer brands.

That’s where the traffic stopped. It didn’t slow, it stopped. “What’s going on here,� I said to the driver, glancing nervously at the ticking meter.

Yes, taxis have meters – always remember that. “Road works,� he said casually. “We should be clear of this in a few minutes.�

He was throwing me a bone. “Road works on Sunday,� I squeaked. “Never.�

We literally crawled through Hammersmith, Kensington and Chelsea and all the sprawling districts of West London. In fact we crawled all the way to our hotel. We also encountered a crash along the way, just to hold things up a little longer.

I did a slow burn the whole drive. No one said anything derogatory. But I knew, that

Dos and don’ts When it comes to travel there are many dos and don’ts which contribute to a final listing of the good, the bad and the ugly.

In the Republic of Ireland the dos include Temple Bar, St. Stephen’s Green, the Georgian district and Trinity College, all in Dublin, along with Cork, Killarney, the Ring of Kerry and the Aran Islands.

We stopped for lunch at the Scarriff Inn on the Ring of Kerry which boasts “Ireland’s best known view.� We could see for miles along the beautiful Atlantic coast, at the southern tip of the island nation.

I asked our tour guide, a wonderful chap called Norman Foster, “How many days would you get like this in a year?�

He replied with one word, “None!�

I told you we had good weather.

Now for the don’ts in Ireland.

Don’t purchase a sandwich on the Iarnród Eireann (national rail service) train from Dublin to Cork. Don’t use the loo in your hotel at night without first double checking for door stops (I’m not sure how many times I stubbed my toes on oddly placed door stops during this trip). Don’t talk politics with a cabbie in Belfast if you are expecting good news (more on that in a future column). Don’t order a burger for dinner in Galway City (I love fish. I just wanted a little variety alright).

I prefer to finish a column on a positive note. And there was so much good on this trip.

The very best in my opinion? I’ve already said how good the weather was. A close second was the people. We spent most of our vacation in Ireland, south and north, and the people were delightful.

Collectively, I can’t remember being treated so well, by so many folks on any of our previous overseas expeditions. From taxi drivers (we took a lot of cabs), to hotel clerks and concierge, to restaurant staff, tour guides, bus drivers and railway personnel we were delighted with our treatment.

During a five day rail/coach tour of the south and west coasts the most annoying person in the group was a Canadian (no, not one of our group – whew, dodged a bullet there).

Hats off to our American travel companions. On this occasion at least they were a delight to travel with and we made some very nice acquaintances in a short time.

Travel definitely has its rewards and on this vacation the good outweighed the bad by a considerable distance.

they knew, it was my fault. I could feel six eyes burning into me as the reading on the meter continued its steady climb.

I should have hopped out and headed for the pub beside Griffin Brewery when I had the chance. “The traffic today is so unusual. So strange for a Sunday,� the driver said with a hint of apology when, mercifully, we finally pulled up in front of the hotel.

The final cost of that taxi ride was well SHUT DOWN! north of ÂŁ100. “Live and learn,â€? I said weakly, as my companions wordlessly trundled luggage into the lobby. “Never again,â€? I told myself!

Lifestyle – Every vacation has its ups and downs, just as most days do. That’s especially true when you are traveling overseas where different circumstances, amenities, food and a variety of other things present challenges we rarely experience during our trips on this continent.

Kathleen and I and our good friends the LeBlanc’s recently returned from an adventure-packed visit to Ireland and England.

Overall it was an excellent trip. When we consider “the good� from this excursion there is one thing that trumps everything else. The weather! It was absolutely fantastic. One day of rain in 15. It makes me wonder how many others have had such an experience in those countries. Especially Ireland, where periods of rain are the rule not the exception! The Irish don’t come by their “40 Shades of Green� strangely.

Let’s face it. If the weather during any vacation is fine then it is almost certain to go into the books as a good holiday. We were exceedingly fortunate. All of the many picturesque locations, spectacular views and breathtaking vistas we experienced during this visit came under ideal weather conditions.

The weather, however, also contributed to one of the bad experiences we had in Ireland. Sleepless nights! After many years of traveling in the United Kingdom and Ireland there is one fallacy which needs to be exploded. Contrary to what you may hear, it does get hot in those countries. And they do need air conditioning in their hotels!

Kathy and I learned that the hard way on our very first night in England 20 years ago.

It had been a 35C day in London and our hotel (a modern one at that) had no air conditioning. We spent a very uncomfortable night. We must have looked like zombies when we boarded the coach the following morning.

Two decades later most new hotels in the UK and Ireland have air. Because the reality is that in cities the size of London and Dublin, even moderate days can lead to stinking hot hotel rooms. That’s partly because few newer hotels have windows that open.

They are airless boxes. So when it’s warm outside, it is usually hot inside.

Older hotels there are just plain stifling during warm weather. Many don’t have air conditioning and the rooms are meant to hold the warmth in what is predominantly a cool, damp climate.

We arrived in Dublin days before the summer solstice. It was sunny and very hot.

Our Irish taxi driver gave us a lesson on the current economy in the republic on the way downtown from the airport. In short, it sucks!

We were handed complimentary copies of the main national newspaper, the Irish Times, when we checked into our hotel. A front page headline screamed “Heat Wave.�

The story appeared over a picture of children diving into the sea at Dun Laoghaire, the port of Dublin. Anyone who knows the Irish Sea knows it is usually too cold for swimming.

Yes, it was a genuine heat wave with daytime temperatures topping the 30C mark.

Incredibly this was week three. That’s in a country where the average daytime temperature in June is 16C.

Six weeks left in 27th Annual St. John Ambulance Kingston Sheep Dog Trials capital campaign Festival & Canadian National Championships News – There are only six weeks left in the St. John Ambulance (SJA) Brigade of Leeds-Grenville & Lanark’s Caring for Our Community Capital Campaign that concludes on Sunday, Aug. 31 with a wrap party at the Keystorm Pub. And there are many ways in which the general public can contribute to the brigade’s fundraising efforts.

Coming off the capital campaign’s most successful fundraiser to date, the July 11 An Evening of Art & Music at the Connell Homestead in Spencerville, there are several smaller events and projects planned. \Almost 80 patrons attended the July 11 fundraiser hosted by Sarah Jane and Richard Dumbrille in the historic Connell Homestead, at which the guests were treated to swing music

by Alexander’s Big Time Band, exciting live and silent auctions featuring local artists, and a wonderful summer’s meal.

The $12,300 raised that evening helped to bring the current fundraising total to more than $150,000.

On Saturday, Aug. 2, acting chief of the Brockville Police Service, Scott Fraser, will take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise even more funds for the SJA capital campaign.

Earlier in July, David Dargie, capital campaign co-ordinator, “called out” both former Brockville Police Service (BPS) chief Barry King and current chief Fraser to take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge, where a person pours a bucket of ice water over his/her head and then challenges two other people to do the same within 48 hours or else contribute to a designated charity.

Chief King responded

on time, however chief Fraser missed his “window of opportunity” and will now have a public soaking, all to benefit the Caring for Our Community capital campaign.

The public is invited to support Chief Fraser’s fundraising efforts both before Aug. 2 and at the Ice Bucket Challenge that is scheduled for 10 a.m. that day at the City of Brockville Farmers’ Market. Members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade will be passing the hat for Chief Fraser to make sure that he can make a healthy contribution to the capital campaign. All of the fun associated with this event will be captured on video and posted on YouTube.

Dargie, originator of the challenge observed, “We are very fortunate to have two good sports, former BPS chief Barry King and acting chief Scott Fraser, who are willing to take the Ice Bucket Challenge and raise funds for the Caring for Our Community capital campaign,” Dargie observed.

“Everyone is invited to the farmers’ market Aug. 2 to witness some good old-fashioned fundraising. We have several other ways in which everyone in Leeds-Grenville & Lanark Counties can help us reach our capital campaign goals.

Watch in the coming weeks to see how you can help us reach our goals.”

Anyone wishing to make a tax deductible donation to the Caring for Our Community capital campaign are invited to contact St. John House by telephoning 613-342-2974 or by email: brockville@on.sja.ca.

Electric sixth Also Sunday morning local favourites Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric from GOFL defeated league rival Kanata Pirates 6-4. Andy Barber was the winning pitcher while Steve Cavanagh earned a save. Veteran hurler Darren Featherstone absorbed the loss for Pirates.

Fitzroy Harbour finished sixth with a 2-2 record while Kanata was seventh at 1-2-1.

The day’s final round-robin showdown saw Quebec Juniors double Domville Aces Juniors, from the PrescottBrockville area, 10-5.

The Quebec entry replaced Stittsville 56ers of GOFL. Stittsville was forced to drop out of the competition because of injuries to personnel.

The Quebec Juniors had a good tournament going 3-1. But despite defeating Aces on Sunday and finishing fifth they failed to make the playoff cut. Domville ended up in eighth place with a 1-3 mark.

A total of 13 round-robin games were played Saturday.

Micksburg followed their Friday night success with two wins and a tie and they easily cruised into Sunday’s playoffs.

The Pennsylvania visitors won backto-back contests Saturday before falling 6-2 at the hands of Broker 4 Tickets in an early evening tilt. The Ottawa side moved to 3-1 and nailed down a playoff place in the process.

Also Saturday the Quebec Juniors fell to Elkland in their opener but bounced back with a big 9-1 triumph over winless Trend-Arlington. The Quebec squad followed that up with a tight 3-2 triumph over previously unbeaten Broker 4 Tickets. Marc-Andrew Villeneuve was 1-1 on the mound for Quebec while Alexandre Lemieux was the recipient of his team’s nine-run outburst against Trend-Arlington.

Ties counted in this competition and the perennial Gil Read entrants from Napanee ended Saturday with two draws and a win to remain undefeated. Shoeless Joe’s Express doubled Fitzroy Harbour 6-3 Saturday morning with Cole Bolton notching the mound triumph. In the afternoon Napanee and

Kanata played a slugfest which ended 9-9. Shoeless Joe’s ended the day with a 4-4 draw versus eventual tournament champion Micksburg.

Later Saturday Fitzroy was shutout 7-0 by GOFL rival Micksburg to fall to 1-2 in the competition.

Kanata stayed in the tournament playoff hunt with a tie and a win Satur-

Sports – Matt Greer homered and pitcher Corey Costello crafted a complete game shutout as Micksburg Twins edged Elkland Thunderbelly’s 1-0 Sunday to win the seventh annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp.

The upper Ottawa Valley club, who are currently in fifth place in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL), had an excellent weekend going undefeated with five wins and a tie in six outings.

Following the championship game Greer, who joined Micksburg for the event (he normally plays for Quyon Flyers of GOFL), was named the competition’s Most Valuable Player. Costello, who hurled 14 shutout innings in two playoff contests Sunday, was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Pitcher.

Brad Porter, who usually pitches for Kars Aces of GOFL but joined Elkland for the three-day competition, was the hard luck loser. Porter took over from Thunderbelly’s starter Garrett Hone and the only run he yielded was Greer’s fifth inning solo blast.

Thunderbelly’s, from the small village of Elkland in north-central Pennsylvania, had a strong game in the final but were forced to settle for runner-up honours for a second straight year. They lost to Sharon (Ontario) Lake Simcoe Lightning in last year’s championship game. This was the third straight year Elkland has competed in the annual fastball event in Carp. Thunderbelly’s finished the tournament with a 4-2 mark.

Twins claim $1,800 in prize money for their performance. Runners-up Elkland take home $700.

Earlier Sunday, in the semi-finals, Costello twirled a pitching gem. He struck out 16 opponents as Twins blanked Ottawa Broker 4 Tickets from the Glen Cairn Men’s Fastball League 2-0. Neil Cooke was the losing pitcher for the Ottawa team who finished the 10-team tournament in third place with a 3-2 record.

In the other semi-final Elkland rolled past Napanee “Shoeless Joe’s” Junior Express 6-2. Kyle Crawford fashioned a nifty four-hitter on the mound for the Pennsylvania side. Brandon Sands, in relief of starter Eric Morgan, suffered the pitching loss.

Broker 4 Tickets and Junior Express (Napanee finished fourth with a 2-1-2 mark) each pocket $250 for their efforts in the venture.

The tournament is named in memory of Gil Read, a highly successful fastball coach from the Ottawa area, who died tragically in 2007.

His son Chris and nephew Al Read head the organizing committee. All funds from the event go to support children who wish to play sports but could not otherwise afford to do so.

Monday morning Chris Read said this year’s event was another big success.

“Except for a delay in the middle of the semi-final games we managed to duck the rain on Sunday,” he explains.

“But we had about 20 people on the fields clearing water – some of them

came out of the stands to help. In half an hour we were underway again.”

He said he expects the venture to equal last year’s tournament high fundraising mark.

“We had a record Friday – the biggest crowd ever for a Friday night. I think we will equal last year and with two less teams involved. So that is excellent,” Chris states.

The final four round-robin games were played on Sunday morning.

Elkland glided past a tournament team from Ottawa’s Trend-Arlington Men’s Fastball League 9-1 to qualify for the semis. Meanwhile Napanee crushed Ottawa Valley A’s, a tournament team from the West Carleton area, 19-1. The A’s and Trend-Arlington finished tied at the bottom of the standings with identical 0-4 records.

Lifestyle – LAWS would like to thank all who donated, bought from and helped out at the yard sale on the weekend, it was a great success.

We will be holding another yard sale on Aug. 23 and we’re still accepting gently used items.

We would like to thank the people that have adopted some of our cats who have been at the shelter for almost a year. We’re excited to report that both Pebbles and Alannah have found good forever homes.

Some of our dogs that have been at LAWS far too long are finding homes, too.

Eddie, a beagle mix, is gone trucking to Vancouver with his new master. Astro went to a lovely family with kids.

Some other dog adoptions are pending and we’ll write about them when the adoptions are finalized.

We still have many cats and dogs to choose from so please come out and meet all of some of them.

To find out more about our events and animals up for adoption please visit our website at www.lanarkanimals.ca or our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals.

They did! You should see these two very pretty ladies.

They’re about three-monthsold, love to chase balls wearing each other out.

After playtime it’s naptime, cuddled in each other’s arms they snooze until they let you know it’s time for another run.

They love their canned food as well as kibbles, munching at it to keep their bodies growing.

They’re a Russian blue mix almost identical, Pegasus has coloured hair running down her nose.

They’re already a lot bigger than the picture shows. Come and meet these two, they’re fun and with our special promotion they can go together for 1 1/2 of the adoption fee.

You’re set for life as he’ll never stop kissing and cuddling you! Please meet this young, about seven-monthold boy.

Gunner They think I was tied on a chain because I run in circles when I’m excited. I never learned to be someone’s buddy so I’m still kind of shy, but when I get to know you I love cuddles and affection. I get along fine with everyone here and being a typical hound I am easy going around people.

I’m pretty quiet but I have a happy woof, and I love to run so my pictures are a little blurry. Sorry. The folks here are teaching me my first commands like sit and down.

They tell me I’m intelligent, eager and willing to learn. I just need that special someone to love me and shape me into the great family pet I know I can be.

Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is located on Glenview Road, just off Highway 43, about 2 kilometres west of Smiths Falls.

HOW DID YOU START YOUR BUSINE SS? It was a bit of a fluke actually. We bought the property on Mississippi Lake for the waterfront house and the business started a bit later. We started out very small with live bait and a bit of tackle. But it continued to grow and when it no longer made sense to be located out in the middle of nowhere we decided to move it out to Highway 15. That has turned out to be a positive move.

As my husband says – it’s a hobby that got out of control.

WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRATION TO BE THE BEST? I get great satisfaction from seeing the business grow and succeed, helping people find the products they want and providing unique gifts that you can’t find anywhere else!

And, shopping for that “hot new item” for the store!

Q and A

WHAT IS YOUR SIGNATURE PRODU CT? We have such a diverse product line it would be hard to say.

Certainly the Under Armour line of clothing, the Browning clothing and gift items, the fishing tackle brands that you won’t see in the chain stores, Excalibur crossbows and of course our huge selection of novelty items, bedding, indoor and outdoor furniture and unique gifts.

This November be part of our next edition of Splurge, the most talked about coffee table book in The Valley!

GUILTY PLEASURE? When I’m not working I love to be outdoors – tournament bass fishing and gardening are two of my passions.

PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED TO KNOW? How large the store is and how diverse the product lines!

We are certainly not just a fishing store regardless of our name! And that I was the first woman ever to win the Renegade Bass Classic! And that I have a full-time job outside of the business!

SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS? Commitment to customer service, great staff, entrepreneurial spirit, hard work, determination to succeed and willingness to think outside the box and expand into areas you might not normally associate with a fishing and hunting store.

…and many more!

FASTPITCH From page 14

The event opened in perfect weather Friday night with three contests played.

Broker 4 Tickets shutout Trend-Arlington 9-0 with Steve McNaughton crafting a five inning no-hitter on the mound.

He yielded just two walks in the process. Veteran Cory Alkerton belted a home run for the Ottawa side.

In the second game Friday Micksburg eased past Kanata 5-1 with Costello the winning hurler. Twins put on a power show in the game with Greer, Chad Costello and Jamey Mick all dialing long distance.

Fitzroy Harbour opened the competition on the right foot downing local rival Ottawa Valley A’s 4-1. Jeff Barber was the winning pitcher while Mike Cavanagh belted a round-tripper for Electric.

All proceeds from the tournament goes to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation which assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play sports

but who would not otherwise have the funds necessary to take part.

This marked the fifth year the tournament was held at Carp and for a fourth straight year the weather largely cooperated.

Except for the half-hour rain delay during Sunday’s semi-finals, none of the other games were affected by weather.

Until 2010 the competition was held at Carlington Park in west-central Ottawa. But facility rental costs skyrocketed in the city proper, prompting the organizing committee to seek another venue.

They settled on Carp Fairgrounds, hoping to attract more fans and increase revenues. The financial results have improved every year since the event was relocated to West Carleton. “The stands were really full Friday and Saturday,� Chris Read notes. “We were probably down a little on Sunday because of the threatening weather. But not much! The attendance

was really good. “That’s why we keep coming back to Carp. The community is so supportive. It isn’t just about fastball, it’s about people hanging out and having a good time. It’s a real community event,� he underlines.

The 9th Annual Bridge Street Bazaar will showcase the center of this colourful and historical town, including a sidewalk shop with over a hundred vendors. Visitors can Meet Us “Downtown� On The Mississippi, have the opportunity to find bargain deals, become a street merchant themselves, and eat at waterfront pubs and restaurants. All of this while basking in non-stop local entertainment.

The entire downtown section of Bridge Street will be shut off to vehicular traffic, making way for a pedestrian-friendly area where both vendors and merchants alike can display and sell their wares. We are also excited to have many new vendors join the Bazaar this year. The full-day schedule of the sidewalk sale includes various activities and attractions – including some of Carleton Place’s finest musicians, mascots and dancers. The sound of pop, rock and country will fill the air as spectators enjoy a full day of live local entertainment. Local buskers will be wandering the streets performing. Entertainment in the downtown market full of variety, and best of all, free of charge!

TEST DRIVE AT ROSEHALL RUN VINEYARDS A classic Canadian comedy performed under the tent among the vines!

Mary Cook pays special tribute to longtime friend, Joyce Lifestyle – We were both about fiveyears-old. It was the first time I had seen Joyce Francis, both of us brand new pupils at the Northcote Public School. People often ask if my little friend Joyce really existed...or did I just create her to flesh out my Depression memories.

She did indeed exist! And I remember that first day at school, so very many years ago when a friendship was forged that would last for many decades down the road.

What I remember so well, as the little girl sat directly across from me in one of those little desks with the drawer under the seat, and the ink well implanted in the right hand corner, was her beautiful complexion. She had skin as fair as a lily, with a faint blush to her cheeks, and I noticed back then with envy, there wasn’t a freckle anywhere in sight! Not like my face, which my brother Emerson often likened to a turkey egg! And there was Joyce with

skin like a freshly ripened peach.

Although we became fast friends, our lives were as different as night was from day. First of all Joyce lived in a brick house, ours was log. There was a flush toilet, with real toilet paper. Ours was behind a cluster of cedar trees, with an Eaton’s catalogue on a spike!

But when Joyce came to our farm to play, she used the outdoor privy just as if there was no difference between it and her modern facility at home. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was.

Joyce had her very own bedroom, as did her brother Allan. I remember now, so many decades later, flowered wallpaper somewhere...perhaps it was in the hall upstairs, or in Joyce’s bedroom, but in my mind’s eye, I see pink...still one of my favourite colours.

Joyce had a little wood pencil box. I think now, the only one at the Northcote Public School, but perhaps there were oth-

ers, but I remember hers in particular. My pencils and eraser were in a little homemade drawstring bag. You opened Joyce’s pencil box with your thumbnail, and it swivelled open, and there inside were her pencils and art gum, as neat as you please.

And one Friday, Joyce let me take her wood pencil box home for the weekend, which I took to the Lutheran Church on Sunday. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was.

Joyce wore store-bought underwear, mine were flourbags. Joyce wore little white socks with lace around the cuffs.

She wore hand-knit sweaters. In spite of all this, what I considered grandeur, Joyce and I were best friends. It mattered not to her, that I came from a big rambunctious family, who were poor as church mice, and most of my clothes were hand-me-downs, or ‘made-overs’. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was.

Joyce’s father drove a modern car. Until we got our old Model T in a trade, we had to rely on Queenie, the buggy in the summer, and the cutter in the winter. And often I was taken into Renfrew in that spanking new car, driven by Joyce’s father, and we would stop at Briscoe’s General Store for an ice cream cone, on Joyce’s suggestion.

She knew for me, ice cream cones were a very infrequent treat. That’s the kind of friend Joyce was. Joyce never lost her love of life. She married, had two children, Frank and Janice, and was then widowed.

Derek Smith, who shared Joyce’s love of art, came into her life and they shared a

Was your one that should be This is wedding your chance! featured in it! a magazine?

dozen wonderful happy years together.

When her memory started to fade, she depended more and more on her family.

Finally, she made her home with her daughter Janice, who often compared her mother’s failing memory to that of a very young child. Yes, Joyce, although suffering from dementia, became childlike. And then, this gentle soul, this dear friend of mine for many decades, slipped away in her daughter’s arms on July 26, in Toronto.

Those of us who had Joyce in our lives for decades will cherish those memories that set her apart from others. She will continue to live on in my stories, and those of us who have had the privilege of calling her a friend will meet in Northcote United Church to say our final goodbye on Aug. 23 at 10:30 a.m. Then we will gather in the one room schoolhouse next door to share memories of my little friend Joyce Francis Fricker.

Be sure to make the most out of your vehicle’s service visit Lifestyle – More than a few automakers have moved away from prescheduled vehicle maintenance recommendations to general inspections to be performed two or three times a year or more (depending on mileage) accompanied by an engine oil change. These are often dealer advertised and competitively priced and represent good value, not only in terms of their reasonable costs, but in light of the fact that any recommended repair work is based on the actual condition of the vehicle and not some arbitrary time or mileage spec. But these inspections don’t cover everything and vehicle owners are ultimately responsible for maintaining their ride, so a few tips can help keep things running smoothly.

Most of these ‘peace of mind’ or ‘the works’ specials involve an engine oil and filter change, tire rotation, and visual inspection of the majority of your vehicles’ systems. These usually include brakes, tires, suspension, steering, exhaust, fluids, wipers, and lights. They also come with a written report giving you an indication of what requires immediate service, what can wait until your next visit, and what is in great shape and doesn’t need any attention at all. What isn’t included is something you still need pay heed to: • Spark plugs; these should be removed for inspection or replacement every 50,000 km for most vehicles. Even if they are long life platinum tipped plugs, they still need to be removed to ensure

they don’t seize in the engine’s cylinder head, causing some very expensive repair bills.

• Warning lights; check engine, antilock brake, air bag, traction-control systems all have electronic controls.

Diagnosing these dashboard icons require specialized equipment and skills.

If you’re making an appointment for a seasonal inspection and have one of these warning lights on that you want diagnosed, let your service provider know when you call for the appointment so the appropriate tech and time can be reserved.

• Intermittent anything; a radio display that goes blank once a week or a signal light that seems to be haunted can drive any driver round the bend.

Just like warning lights, these things can take time to pinpoint so if you want them fixed or at least diagnosed, make arrangements.

• Noises, vibrations, harshness; any concerns with noises or vibrations usually require a road test to start the diagnostic process. If you’re not sure if what you’re feeling or hearing is normal or abnormal, ask for a road test with a tech or shop supervisor. Few shops charge much for a brief drive (if anything) and it can bring some peace of mind.

battle and they win. For Hercules fighting is easy, but politics is not.

Not everything is as it seems. Those you trust can betray you. Those you thought were friends can be enemies.

Hercules will have to come to terms with his dark past, and decide if he’s a mercenary killing for money, or a hero fighting for what’s right.

There’s always this moment in good heroic fantasy or action films.

It’s the moment when the hero stands up to the villain, or the moment when the hero sacrifices himself. It’s the moment the hero does the impossible, and you’re completely caught up in it.

That moment sends a shiver down your spine. It gives you goose bumps. Hercules has those moments.

There’s a bit of tongue and cheek, but it’s just the right amount of tongue and cheek.

The sets, the costumes and the special effects create the ancient world in all its glory.

My Take

The action is intense.

The characters are compelling. It’s a great film.

To pull off film like this you need the right story, the right location, and the right effects, which Hercules has. You also have to have the right cast.

Aksel Hennie, Ingrid Bolso Berdal, and Reese Ritche came out of relative obscurity to walk the path of heroes.

They were astounding.

John Hurt and Joseph Fiennes play ancient Greek royalty perfectly.

Rufus Sewell plays the world weary, but deadly Autolycus with just the right combination of sarcasm and heroism. Ian McShane is a great actor whose timing and delivery are gifts that must be seen and enjoyed.

This version of Hercules is very much about the man behind the legend.

Think of it as the real story the myth is based on, but still larger than life. Who better to play this Hercules than Dwayne Johnson.

His sheer physicality already makes him seem like he might actually be the son of Zeus, and he delivers a performance worthy of the myth.

He is Hercules.

Hercules was highly entertaining.

MOVIE: Hercules STARRING: Dwayne Johnson, Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Aksel Hennie, Ingrid Bolso Berdal, Reese Ritche, John Hurt and Joseph Fiennes DIRECTOR: Brett Ratner RATING: PG Arts – I love Greek mythology, and I’m always excited when one of the Greek legends comes to the big screen.

It’s even better when it’s done well.

Hercules (Dwayne Johnson) and his companions Autolycus (Rufus Sewell), Tydeus (Aksel Hennie), Atlanta (Ingrid Bolso Berdal) the seer Amphiaraus (Ian McShane) and his nephew Iolaus (Reece Ritchie) travel the ancient lands of Greece as mercenaries.

Once the protector of Athens, tragedy forced Hercules to flee. Now his club and his strength go to the highest bidder.

He may be a sword for hire, but Hercules can still be swayed to fight for a worthy cause. Thrace is being plagued by an evil warlord. When Ergenia (Rebecca Ferguson), the daughter of Lord Cotys King of Thrace, comes to Hercules for help he agrees.

Hercules and his friends train the army of Thrace to fight. They lead them into

An Ideal Husband ideal entertainment at Perth’s Studio Theatre Arts – It’s amazing how a play written 120 years ago can strike a chord – and a funny bone – with audiences in 2014. The great Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde had a wonderful knack for creating humour that has survived the years intact, and his social satire An Ideal Husband is a prime example.

Together with The Importance of Being Earnest, An Ideal Husband is considered a dramatic/comedic masterpiece, and Perth audiences will have a chance to see why when it opens at the Studio Theatre on Aug. 14.

An Ideal Husband, written in 1895 when Wilde was at the top of his game as a play-

wright, revolves around blackmail, political corruption, and personal honour. Much of the humour springs from his apparent disdain for the English upper class, who are portrayed as absurdly two-faced, saying one thing one moment and the exact opposite (to great comic effect) the next. Lords and Ladies are portrayed as arrogant

hypocrites, strictly observing silly and frivolous rules.

The action is set in London’s fashionable Grosvenor Square, where we are introduced to Sir Robert Chiltern, a prestigious member of the House of Commons, his wife, Lady Chiltern, and several of their oh-so-dandified society friends. During the party, Mrs. Cheveley, an enemy of Lady Chiltern’s from their school days, attempts to blackmail Sir Robert into supporting a fraudulent scheme to build a canal in Argentina. Mrs. Cheveley possesses a letter that proves Sir Robert had illicitly made a fortune years earlier by selling Cabinet secrets regarding the building of the Suez Canal – a crime that, today, would be called insider trading. The ensuing plot twists and turns wend their way to a very satisfying ending, and great entertainment.

Director David Parry and stage manager Penny Silberhorn have assembled a terrific cast of skilled actors to take on the roles of various English Lords and Ladies.

Joanna McAuley and Carell Photo courtesy of JEAN-DENIS LABELLE Allen portray Mrs. MarchJoanna McAuley Treffers and Allan Price play the Bakers, mont and Lady Basildon, two who tend to wildly gesticulate throughout the Neil Simon dizzy upper crust matrons who

Parents playing parents in Classic Theatre comedy running until Aug. 3 Arts – The love and respect that parents want from their children, and vice versa, are at the heart of the hit comedy Come Blow Your Horn, the Neil Simon Broadway debut that will finish its run with the Classic Theatre Festival on Sunday, Aug. 3 at 54 Beckwith Street East.

The roles of the overbearing parents in the comedy, played by Allan Price and Joanna McAuley Treffers, are no doubt familiar to many who have struggled with the daily questions about raising children in an appropriate manner. Interestingly, both actors are parents in real life themselves, and can no doubt relate to the inter-generational conflict that produces so much humour at the heart of the play.

McAuley Treffers, known to local audiences for years of performing in a variety of theatrical productions (as well as being proprietor of the always eclectic Jo’s Clothes in Perth) has relished taking on the role of Mrs. Baker, a woman who knows her mind and is not afraid to speak it, even if she does force the backs up of both her boys.

“Ultimately, Mrs. Baker loves her boys and I have always felt maternal, long before I became a real mama,” she says. “It’s also pure joy to have such wonderfully handsome and loving sons [played by Lindsay Robinson and Matthew Gorman).”

Mrs. Baker’s fastidious nature – whether it deals with planning the perfect meal, dusting her children’s apartment, or simply taking a phone message – provides a comic kick throughout the show.

“When Mrs Baker surveys her sons’ apartment with an intent to clean, the audience usually anticipates her mission, and that’s a kick for me. She’s a hoot and a half to play, a dame with heart who puts her family above all,” McAuley Treffers says.

McAuley Treffers says most parents will relate to the common values at the heart of her character, as well as the conflicting feeling when young leave the

comedy Come Blow Your Horn. proverbial nest.

“You raise your children to be independent, with your values and strengths, and it’s the hardest thing for a mother to lose her children to their own independent lives, but that’s what you’re doing from day one as a parent,” she says. “So she faces this challenges throughout the show, and it’s her strength and wisdom that ultimately prevail.”

Price, a longtime performer in TV, film, and stage who returns to the festival this summer after appearing in the 2011 comedy Bell, Book & Candle, relishes his role as Mr. Baker, modeled after the playwright’s own father.

“I love that he is a man who is tough as nails on the outside, but he is a very multi-dimensional person,” Price says. “The conflict with his sons and his wife comes primarily from a generational divide and a perspective of a different ethic. He clings tenaciously to a deep respect for hard work, but most importantly he deeply loves his family and is motivated by the desire to see them all thrive and succeed. This makes playing him a great challenge and a rewarding treat for an actor.”

Even though Price himself is also a parent, he notes that “the acting challenge is the same regardless of the character you are playing. By that I mean, even when you are playing a role

which is very similar to you as a person – a parent, a brother, a son, a friend, or any other aspect of your own experience – no two people are the same. So you must still discover by reading the play, by rehearsing, and by playing before a variety of audiences what the character is all about.”

“It certainly helps your understanding if you have things in common with your character, like for instance, you may both have children, but that is usually only a small part of what makes that character tick,” he adds. “It’s your job as an actor to find the other pieces of the puzzle. But in this play, it probably is to my advantage that I do have in real life two sons – mine are four years apart in age, so close to the age difference in the play. But they are quite different than the sons of Mr. Baker.”

Audience members from as far away as Mexico and the UK have taken in the show, which has been playing to full houses most of July, and runs an additional 8 performances through Aug. 3.

In the meantime, seats are also available for the festival’s second show of the season, Dial M for Murder, the all-time classic mystery thriller, which will run Aug. 8 to 31.

For tickets and further information, call 1-877-283-1283 or visit www.classictheatre.ca.

babble breathlessly – and hilariously – about money, husbands, and their social status.

Mark Francis Daley and Krista Duff are Sir Robert and Lady Chiltern, the two characters in the eye of the storm caused by the evil Mrs. Cheveley, played with great malice by Meredith Millman.

Lucas Tennant is Lord Goring, the dandified bachelor who is excessively concerned with his appearance, and with wooing Lord Chiltern’s lovely sister Mabel, played by Alison Kirkpatrick. Rounding out the cast are Norma Cummings as Lady Markby, an aging society type who bemoans the effects that politics and the higher education of women have had on married life; Brian Tannenbaum as Lord Goring’s gruff, disgruntled father Lord Caversham; Paul Joyce as the inscrutable butler, Phipps, and Alfred Von Mirbach as the butler Mason.

Of course, set designer Reiner Silberhorn and a team of costumers, lead by Patricia Parry, are busy creating Oscar Wilde’s elaborate Victorian-era setting.

The results will be spectacular as always!

RAILWAY CHILDREN Based on Edith Nesbit’s well-loved tale of three Victorian children sent to live in the countryside, this adaptation vividly brings to life all the humour, tension, adventure and the final triumph of good over evil.

News – Recently, local Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachments have received a number of complaints from citizens who have received a letter from a London, UK accountant and independent underwriting consultant.

The author suggests that he is attempting to distribute the wealth of a now deceased business magnate but is having difficulty in finding the appropriate beneficiary. They suggest that there is no risk involved as it goes on to indicate that because the recipient has the same last name, the proceeds of the unclaimed funds can be released to them as beneficiary.

The OPP would like to make everyone aware that this type of “inheritance� letter is sent in an attempt to ultimately defraud you of your money or steal your personal information. Legitimate estates do not solicit trustees or heirs in this manner and do not promise to carry out the exercise ‘through the back door’.

At some point in this fraud you will be asked to provide personal information or to pay “banking fees� to release the fortune. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is not true.

For more information on this and other types of fraudulent scams, please go to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website at: www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/english/ home.html.

1953 Chevrolet pickup on Pelee Island since 1981 Lifestyle – Ralph Rogers of Pelee Island, Ontario, sent me the following email: “Hi Bill. While shopping at Rona in Leamington, you met my son, who was driving our ’53 Chevy pickup. The truck and I are the same age and have been together since 1979 when I bought it in Texas from a recently released con who needed money ($400) for community college.

It came out of a farmer’s field. I spent a year rebuilding it, then I was transferred from Dallas to Detroit. It had to start and drive to Detroit on its first try. Needless to say, it made it.

“The truck has been on Pelee Island in Lake Erie since 1981 and has gone through two full rebuilds and several minor ones.

For many years the parts came from other old Chevy trucks that were rusting away in the woods around Pelee.

The last full rebuild included changing the front end to a ’79 Camaro and repowering it with a ’62 Chevy 283 V8 that my son rebuilt.

My son now attends to its maintenance more than I and for those issues beyond Cutter’s ability, we take it to Pelee Motors where Tom performs miracles.

“It’s been both a flat-bed and a step side. It has been blue, primer brown, then blue again and now red. It has been a working truck all its life. It hauls materials, tows boats, and most importantly it is a great cruiser to just

circumnavigate the island.”

This style of Chevrolet pickup truck first appeared in the summer of 1947 and lasted through to the first part of 1955.

It was known as “Advance Design” because it was a striking departure from the older Chev pickups.

The headlights were blended into the front fenders, the hood was one-piece and opened from the front, the enlarged cab provided enough room for three adults, the windshield no longer opened from the bottom, and the windshield wipers were on the cowl instead of on the roof.

In 1948, the 3-speed gear shift lever was moved from the floor to the steering column. In 1950, these trucks were equipped with tube-type hydraulic shock absorbers that replaced the older lever-action shocks. The most striking new feature in 1951 was the adoption of wing-style vent windows in the doors.

In 1952, the old pull-down style of Submitted photo door handles were replaced with pushbutton ones.

Garlic Festival will be an aromatic one Aug. 9-10 Community – This year marks the 17th annual Perth Garlic Festival and organizers are busy gearing up for a busy Aug. 9 and 10 weekend, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

The idea of staging a garlic festival germinated from a small group of individuals in 1997 and has become one of eastern Ontario’s most anticipated annual community festivals.

Held every August, the Perth Garlic Festival is a celebration to the ‘stinking rose’. The warm August air of Ontario’s prettiest town is scented with the pungent aroma of garlic while thousands

of ‘garlic heads’ revel in the many attributes of this wonderful herb.

More than 70 garlic, craft and food vendors on site… cooking demos, loads of garlic flavoured foods and always fresh garlic for sale, Hosted by the Lions Club of Perth, the Perth Garlic Festival is volunteerdriven with individuals contributing many hours to ensure the festival is a success and to date has raised more than $200,000 for community initiatives supported by the Lions Club of Perth.

Perth unveils new travelling billboards News - The Town of Perth unveiled two new travelling billboards that are displayed on two tractor trailer units offered by industry partner, Wills Transfer Limited. The new signage was installed on Tuesday, July 22.

“We’re in Good Company” the sign says, and displays the logos of Perth’s top employers and the town’s new economic development website.

“This is an exciting opportunity for the Town of Perth to showcase our major employers and once again work with our partners at Wills Transfer,” said Mayor John Fenik.

The completed marketing initiatives

will diversify the Town of Perth’s profile beyond the tourism industry and increase investment attraction to local and national markets.

“It’s a little different advertising,” said Casey Buchanan, economic development officer. “We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback already.”

In 2013, economic development staff partnered with Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation to launch a marketing plan to target several objectives set out in the Town of Perth’s Economic Development Strategy. The marketing initiatives have launched the town’s exposure and have

offered businesses, developers and investors alike a number of ways to explore the opportunities in Perth through the newly-created website, redeveloped community profile and business guide and a chance to discover our major industry partners on a traveling billboard.

Wills Transfer Limited, a fourth generation family owned business, specializes in commercial warehousing, transportation, logistics and is also an agent for Allied Van Lines offering full service household goods relocation both domestically and internationally.

There is new twist to old trick News - Officers from the Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating complaints of a new variation of scams involving requests for money orders to facilitate the transfer of “prize money” to the victim.

In this case the victim is contacted by telephone advising that they have won a prize, usually of $1 million or more, and the caller states that the victim needs to send a money order to pay for the driver to deliver the prize. The amount “requested” has ranged anywhere from $235 to $565.99.

The caller gives a name and address in the United States and has represented himself as operating on behalf of

CAR SHOW

Veggie Tour Time

From front page

Community - Transition Perth hosted its fourth annual Garden Veggie Tour on July 26 visiting eight town gardens. For lunch the group met at the Table Community Food Centre garden in Last Duel Park. Pictured are volunteers with Transition Perth and at the Table Community Food Centre. Back row left to right: Vicki MacMillan, Jeremy Dutton, Brian Harris, Diane Quirouette; front row: Sebastien Bacharach, Bonita Ford, Jennifer Martine Druker, Debbi Hunt, Shannon Watson and Kathleen Dempsey.

“Having it at the park last year, it got a positive response,” he said. “We will see how it goes.”

There will be music on sale, on site, and entertainment by country and western singer Terry Bennett.

“The car variety is pretty wide,” he said, with cars mostly ranging from the 1950s to ’70s on display, although a local driver brought his Ford Model T last year.

For cars older than the 1950s era, “they’re just not designed to be on the roads.”

For enquiries, please call Ross Trimble by day at 613-253-2592, and by night, Brian Trimble at 613-257-7029.

Smallmouth bass spawning numbers improving at Otty Lake 40 feet apart across almost a kilometer of the lake bottom. An additional 150 recycled Christmas trees were submerged and anchored on the bed of the lake (over 15 feet deep) in designated areas to provide areas where fish can rest, find shelter and feed.

Recent monitoring of the

project shows impressive early results. Of the 43 visible nests, 38 were in use with a male bass guarding the nest.

“The new beds are doing exactly what we hoped they would do,” said Jennifer Lamoureux, RVCA Aquatic and Fish Habitat Biologist. “The beds are being

accepted by the bass community and will provide exceptional spawning and nursery habitat.

And in time, they will become homes to many food sources such as crayfish and aquatic insects.”

With an impressive 88 per cent success rate on the new spawning nests, the groups are looking to

continue with further habitat improvements.

This September, volunteers from the Otty Lake Association and RVCA staff will install more spawning beds and submerge more trees. Boulders will also be dropped at various nests. “The boulders will provide cover for

the guarding male and fry. The males are very aggressive in the spring,” says Lamoureux. “Boulders are inexpensive, natural features that we can add to the site and mimic naturally found conditions.”

Salvation Army opens new Thrift Store location on Wilson Street in Perth

News - The Salvation Army officially opened the doors to its new location at 95 Wilson St. W. in Perth, on Saturday July 12.

Town Crier Brent McLaren gathered those present: “Since 1885 when the citizens of this community have cried out, the Salvation Army has been there to listen. This morning we launch a new chapter in the Salvation Army’s mission here in this historic community. May this building be a source of comfort to all who pass its threshold.

May it serve the citizens of Perth and our surrounding district with the same open hands and hearts as it has done for nearly 130 years.�

The store opened to a much brighter and exciting store. The only complaint of the day was that there should be more change rooms. “It came down to using the floor space for another change room or using it to offer more product to the shopper,� said Major Faith Cameron. “In the long run we felt they would want more product.�

The store now has a drop box behind the store for mostly bags and a smaller area for breakables.

It is always best to bring furniture items during store hours so they can be brought directly into the store and help keep them out of the weather and looting. Major Cameron asks you to seriously consider if the items are sellable. “If the furniture is broken or the dishes broken we have to pay to take it to the garbage which takes money away from what we can use to help the community.�

The community and family service office is open but on limited times for the next few weeks (Wednesdays) while the Major has a bit of a holiday and returns to continue to set up for programs. “Although programs in our CFS will not look the same as in the past we will be striving to provide a source of help for those in need physically, emotionally and spiritually,� she said.

It will be a fun afternoon of golf for everyone from the novice to the pro. Tee off time is 4:30 p.m., Friday Aug. 22, with an amazing dinner to follow. Tickets are available at the Elliot Street Clinic.

PEP will continue to run their regular therapeutic day programs on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m., and provide participants with exercise, cognitive activities to keep their minds active and healthy, nutritional assessment and education, social and emotional engagement, and a wonderful catered lunch.

PEP Day program coordinator, Katherine Finner knows the importance of offering respite care through therapeutic day programming to seniors in Perth and Smiths Falls. “Eighty per cent of the people we work with are caring for aging parents or spouses.

They may be trying to get them into long-term care facilities, but most are just trying to get support through home care or day programs like ours,� she said.

For Perth resident Edith Nutter, it’s the difference between keeping her 90-year-old husband Harold at home versus having to search for a nursing home.

Her husband has mobility issues as well as some dementia and cannot be left home alone during the day. “He really enjoys his days away, and we have ob-

served a variety of changes.

For instance, his vocabulary is better and more distinct; he is more interactive and talking more and initiating conversation more; his sense of humor seems to be coming back and he tries to make jokes (usually at my expense!); he is happy to go to PEP now; loves the social contact, the outings and the programs; his thought process is more focused and he tries to do some simple chores that he had not done for awhile; he is reading again - and watching TV some. We are not sure how much he understands about what he reads but he is picking up books again. He is looking after the garden and does the watering,� said Edith.

Harold’s daughter sees the benefits, too and said, “All in all we are most pleased with his progress. It has far exceeded our expectations. PEP has helped Dad and Mom. “Being a caregiver for a person with dementia is a difficult job. “PEP gives Mom the break she needs to get her energy back and do her errands, relax and do some things around the condo that she does not have time to do when Dad is there.�

News - The Perth Enrichment Program for Older Adults (PEP) is getting set to launch a new program day.

Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus will be on those who suffer from impaired lung function. PEPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to improve or maintain the quality of life, following the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate to keep older adults at home longer.

The implications of having impaired lung function may reduce activity level and limit their social life.

This can lead to many other implications such as anxiety, which can often make respiratory symptoms worse.

Since April of this year, PEP has run day programs where seniors can socialize and participate in organized therapeutic activities such as exercise, nutritional education, and cognitive wellness activities - but the new program, to be launched later this summer, allows seniors with more complex health care needs to participate.

The new pulmonary health maintenance program will be run out of the Elliot Street Clinic at 12 Elliot St., in a secure activity room.

There are three staff members, along with community volunteers, who work with the participants, and the subsidized cost to individuals is $15 per half day, plus the cost of lunch and transportation should families opt for it.

Though most participants will be from Perth, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also open to Smiths Falls and surrounding area residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It adds another dimension to what we can do at PEP. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about supporting older adults with impaired lung function to stay physically active, learn about controlled breathing methods, become educated and encouraged to eat nutritiously, and stay engaged in the community and out of long-term care,â&#x20AC;? said Paula Whaley, executive director for the Perth Enrichment Program.

The program will run two sessions on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. with the option to stay for a catered lunch,

Air travel one of the safest ways to travel

Editorial – Air travel is still one of the safest forms of transportation around.

You are in more grave danger driving to the airport to get to your plane than you ever are at any time from airport gate to airport gate.

This statement may seem to fly in the face of what was a dismal week for aviation last week, but it is still true. Indeed, it is not a stellar week, but, as with everything, we need to take a deep breath, stand back, and take a look at the statistics.

These hard numbers provide cold comfort to the victims and their families. But they should provide a respite of sober second thought at a time when some believe that the sky is falling – so to speak.

First the good news. According to the Aviation Safety Network, there have only been 12 airline accidents so far this year. There were 29 last year.

But now the bad news. Those 12 planes were carrying more people, meaning that, yes, there were more fatalities so far this year compared to last year, 761 in 2014 compared to 265.

Within the space of a week, we saw Malaysia Airlines MH17 brought down by a missile over the Ukraine, killing 298, on July 17. Then, in the same 48-hour period, we saw TransAsia Airways GE222 crash on a small island off of Taiwan, killing 48 with 10 survivors on July 23, followed by the crash of Air Algerie AH5017 in the Mali desert, killing all 118 on board, on July 24.

But we need to keep things in perspective.

From 1970 to 1979, there was not a single year where the number of airline deaths dipped below 1,000. In the past decade, the number of airline deaths peeked above 1,000 once, in 2005.

Even the Swiss Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives, which, according to the Toronto Star,

L

tracks commercial airline disasters, shows that the number of accidents worldwide has been falling nearly ever year since 1943. And that statement we made earlier about driving? It’s backed up by American Scientist magazine, which shows that driving just over three miles, or 4.8 km, in a car on the safest highways can still put motorists at a greater risk than airline passengers.

We are certain that the Russians did not intentionally target a civilian airplane, believing it be a military target instead. However, we cannot say the same for Hamas, whose rockets are intentionally being lobbed into Israel. This matters to the flying public because Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion Airport has been targeted. An Air Canada jet had to be diverted on its approach their earlier this month.

This leads to a serious question: why are international air authorities continuing to allow planes into and out of the Tel Aviv airport during a time of obvious hostilities? Neither the Israelis or Palestinians can vouch for the safety of airline passengers.

They cannot even guarantee the safety of their own citizens at this point.

We agree with former Canadian fighter pilot and air accident investigator, Ron Coleman, a resident of Rideau Lakes Township, that one way in which airlines can be forced to shape up is to get the insurance companies involved. If airlines insist on flying into an obvious war zone, like Israel, either threaten to revoke their insurance or make the rates so ridiculous that it is not worth their while to fly, or, at the very least, fly around the trouble.

Air crash investigators also need to be given more teeth or, failing that, their findings need to have some type of immediate follow up from the government.

Adventures in summer driving

ifestyle - Last week I wrote about kindness and understanding. This week I tried to put it into practice while driving in Perth on a Typical Summer Day. Yikes.

You may have noticed Perth gets a bit busy in the summer. Sometimes it’s an adventure. Or at least a column.

This particular day started with the guy on North Street who decided to cross Gore when I had the right-of-way.

I managed to avoid T-boning him, but was so startled I laid on the horn. I try to avoid using the horn. It’s so...bossy. The driver gave me a terrified/lost look, so I felt a little sorry for him.

That afternoon I had a coffee with a colleague at Tim Horton’s. When it was time to leave, it was hard to see cars exiting the drive-thru lane because a delivery truck was in the way. I moved forward but stopped as a car came into

view. Then I moved again, thinking there would be a break between the cars, but another one came right away. I lurched to a stop. The nice driver gestured and I thought she meant for me to go ahead, but as I moved forward I realized she wasn’t cheerfully saying, “After you!”

My colleague, who was behind me, told me later I got cussed out but good. I’m glad I didn’t use the horn that time.

A bit later, I was behind a guy in a left-turn lane at Wilson and Sunset. The advanced green popped up. “Guy in Front” was gazing at his lap. I hit the horn for the second time that day – just a little “wake up!” toot. No response.

People in the car beside me laughed as I threw my arms in the air and said words of encouragement, such as: “C’mon, buddy! What shade of green are you waiting for?” or some such thing. Finally “Guy in Front” wakes up and starts to move. He gives ME the fin-

ger because, of course, it’s my fault he was concentrating fiercely on whatever was on his lap instead of, you know, driving.

I could have been the least of his worries if whatever he was doing happened to involve a mobile device in Ontario.

(And here is another helpful tip: it is NOT okay to check your mobile device even at a red light. Put them away, people.)

I have had strange things happen at that intersection lately. About two weeks earlier, while waiting for the light in the same lane, I had to put my car in

park and retrieve a big orange pylon that a different “Guy in Front” decided to drag for some distance under his car before depositing it right in front of me and driving away. (The driver in the car beside me that time had a laugh, too. I provide comic relief at Wilson and Sunset, apparently.)

After that last trip, I decided the best course of action was to park the car and not drive again until September. So far this plan is not working at all. Fortunately driving in a tourist town in summer is something you get used to.

I remember when I used to commute from my parent’s home in town to my summer student job at Murphys Point Provincial Park. When my contracts began in early May, it took about 20 minutes to get to work.

And then came July.

Once vacations started in earnest, so did the Perth version of gridlock. Yes,

ladies and gentlemen, I would have to leave a whopping 10 minutes earlier just to get through town so I could arrive at work on time.

I know, I know. For all you commuters (Groom-boy being one of them) who spend hours of your day stuck in a car travelling back and forth to your job (uphill both ways, etc.) an extra 10 minutes on a 20-minute trek seems like nothing. However, in those days, every minute of sleep counted. Heck, I suppose that’s true today, too, perhaps more than ever.

Besides, if you do the math (and everyone knows how much I love doing the math), that extra 10 minutes actually extended my commute by a third!

There’s context! It’s all relative.

Fortunately I don’t have to commute much these days, although I still have to navigate stray pylons, terrified tourists and obscene gestures.

Community - If you haven’t hit up Perth’s Splash Pad yet, you’re missing out. The long-awaited project has been a popular hotspot since it first opened July 1 at Conlon Farm.

While it’s common to spot children eagerly running in and out and of the different stations at the splash pad, not every kid is confident walking into the waterways – including Woody.

Woody is an 11-year-old boy who has autism and he has long admired splash pads from afar. He turned 11 on July 18 and his family surprised him by taking him to the Perth Splash Pad. They were the only ones there, allowing Woody to get comfortable with it a little at a time.

Sure enough, Woody made his way into the splash pad, and the photos depict a smiling boy underneath the rainbow waterfalls.

Now that she’s home for the summer, Nitschmann has decided to hit the water to raise money for her team.

On Aug. 17, she plans to swim a 16km trek across Rideau Lake. Starting

by Colonel By Island, she’ll end her swim at the Rideau Ferry beach. Her team back in PEI has been on the fundraising wagon as well, and they plan to complete a fundraising swim across the straight from PEI to the mainland shore.

This is a 16-km swim, which is why Nitschmann has opted to complete that same distance.

She figures it will take about 5.5 hours to complete, and she’s hoping to raise $2,000 for the team. I’m tired just thinking about it, but you have to give Nitschmann credit for taking on such a challenge for the betterment of her team.

She’s collecting donations for her swim, and pledge sheets are available at the Perth and District Indoor Pool as well as Perth Home Hardware. If you’d

DEAR EDITOR:

Canadian Blood Services collected 141 units of blood from 162 donors who generously rolled up their sleeves to give the gift of life on Monday, July 21 at the Perth Civitan Club.

The summer months are always a difficult time for blood collection as many people are on vacation or out of their regular routine. However with the support of communities like Perth we are able to continue our efforts to ensure Canadians receive the life-saving blood and

blood products they require.

The 141 units donated have a tremendous impact on meeting patient needs now and into the future. For someone in need, your blood donation is the difference between life and death.

A big thank you goes toward the 141 people in the community who came in to give a generous blood donation, and to the wonderful volunteers from Perth Civitan Club for their amazing support and sponsorship.

to pay cheque. Jobs are scarce, money scarcer, but we help each other by trading expertise for help, trading a truckload of earth for a helping hand with a backhoe to clear out the creek. It has always been that way here - it’s why I moved here - it’s why I continue to live here.

The increase doesn’t affect the service we’ll receive. Our community has low crime levels, but because of the structure of the OPP proposal, each household will pay the same, no matter where in the province they live.

It is an accounting manoeuvre for the OPP, to simplify their work with a generic billing system.

The OPP will still be largely focused on two things in our township - accidents, thankfully fewer on the now much improved Highway 7, and issues related to crime. The OPP know who the criminal element is in the Perth and surrounding areas and is keeping close tabs on it. So not only can I not afford it, I can see no value in the new tax, and like many others in Canada, advocate instead that OPP could focus less time on our community.

For many years now across Canada the data shows we have less, not more crime, something experts have tied into Canada ensuring better education and better social

Clarifying finer details on dam story DEAR EDITOR:

I was forwarded the article you published on the Haggart Dams, and I appreciate the effort. However, there are some statements that I would like to correct.

The three structures would see the water levels maintained upstream and downstream of the dams to the levels from the 1971 design.

The 1971 design would see something like

20 per cent of the flow going through the park, rather than something like 50 per cent today.

With two structures, the water levels upstream of the dams would be reduced by about two feet during the 1:100 year event, and flows downstream would still have that 20/80-per cent split.

All of the work requires MNR and RVCA approvals. If we are modifying the existing dams, the approval process under the Lakes and Riv-

ers Improvement Act is different than if we are creating a new dam. In all cases, there would also be approvals under the Public Lands Act, as the occupation of crown land would have to be approved.

services in our communities. More opportunities for everyone and less brutal poverty are the answer to crime - not increased policing.

This proposed model for OPP funding is a shell game for those who want to spend more money on policing. We do not need any more policing in Tay Valley, the proposed tax will support those who believe that we need more policing.

I would argue that we do not need those controls now or in the future, because we are a community, an old-fashioned word that means a lot of our policing is healthy, respectful self-policing.

May it always be so.

Say yes to spending our taxes in and on our community.

Say yes to tax increases that ordinary people can afford and can justify paying because we recognize that they are necessary.

Say no to the false story that modern life requires more policing - in my opinion, it is a lie, concocted by frightened, disconnected people who capture our imaginations with messages of fear instead of those of caring and personal responsibility.

I am writing today to support the concerns of Keith Kerr, our Tay Valley reeve. Keith is pleading the case for all of us that our community does not need and should not accept the changes being forced on us related to OPP policing and its costs.

Keith makes the case that the proposed change is unfair in several ways in our community.

But logic and evidence can only go so far in this world these days. No matter how well Keith can demonstrate with evidence that Tay Valley householders cannot and should not accept this tax hike, he needs help.

We all have an opportunity to support him, and we should rise to the occasion.

I am a single woman, retired, living on a fixed income - but with a pension - so - better off than many in the community. The change in OPP funding will cost every household about $300 more each year in taxes. I don’t have $300 a year extra. Do you?

To find this money, I will have to take it from another pocket, a pocket that allows me to spend what little extra I have in the community supporting the close ties I have in an increasingly impoverished world.

Family donation fills gap in local palliative care services News - The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital continues to be the grateful recipient of wonderful support and gifts from families for various projects and initiatives.

Recently, a family undertook an initiative to help the hospital create a supportive palliative care space. Having recently lost their mother, the family identified the gap in the end of life process. With this in mind, the family moved forward with a generous donation to re-develop an in-patient room into a “palliative care” room. The level of detail and consideration given to “Ruby’s Room” recognizes the needs that a family has when experiencing end of life situations of loved ones.

“Ruby’s Room” is located on the 2nd floor of the Smiths Falls site and provides a small kitchenette and living room space. The location of the room allows for privacy and additional comfortable seating space just outside the room at the end of the corridor While the hospital does not have a specific unit for palliative care, the organization’s palliative

care program is supported by two highly trained palliative care nurses.

“This wonderful display of kindness has already touched the lives of other families. We are deeply appreciative to the donor family for their generosity and thoughtfulness. The need for palliative care services continues to grow in our community,” said Linda Bisonette, President & CEO. While family and patient choices suggest that the patient would like to spend their final days at home, this is not always possible. With the creation of space such as “Ruby’s Room” at the Smiths Falls site of the hospital, patients are given the option to have the comforts of home with the necessary clinical and medical support.

Social media stirs debate

Lifestyle - I had an interesting debate on Facebook two weeks ago regarding visitation of the elderly. I am of the age where many of my friends are now taking care of their elderly parents and the question that arose was “why does the church not visit its own?”

I am grateful for the many from the churches in Perth who take the time to come and visit the residents here at Lanark Lodge. The problem that seemed to arise was what about the seniors who live in their own homes, or are living with family members. They are beyond being able to get out to church, and with that decline of attendance, it seems there is a decline in visitation.

The debate on Facebook made me realize that the problem is not isolated and as people from England, South Africa, and Canada entered the conversation the sad facts were the same. The final outcome was good, those who read the conversation made enough noise in the right directions and the lady who was in hospital started receiving visits from her church community. It

still exists.

It is often only when you have walked the journey that you realize the stumbling Shirley AbrAhAmSe brAdley blocks along the Salvation Army way. From the outcome of the Facebook deis sad when people on the fringes of life get left out, some of them bate it is never too late to try to having given many years of their make things right. Sometimes it lives, devoted to others and now is just making others aware of the need that makes the difference. become part of the forgotten.

There is so much talk about Jesus pointed out to His disciples church growth, but what about the needs of those around them, the caring attitude that Christ has the blind, the lepers ‘unclean’ to set as an example for us all on society, the children who would have been taken away for being a “retention.”

One of the comments from nuisance. Simeon who was at the this debate shared that although Temple when Jesus was first prewe think the minister should be sented as a baby, Anna, a prophdoing the visitation, the “body of etess whom the bible says was Christ,” which is the whole con- ‘very old.’ How old would you gregation needs to take on the re- have to be to have that classifisponsibilities of visitation of the cation in the bible is beyond me, but God saw them and blessed elderly.

That should not take away the them with the sight of the Mesresponsibilities of the minister to siah. Jesus knew the value of visit either. My friend’s dad, now visitation.

In partnership with

Shoreline property owners get free makeover through RVCA program Community – Gail LaBrosse describes the decision to naturalize a stretch of Farren Lake shoreline as “one of the best decisions our group of six cottages ever made.”

It was back in the spring of 2010 when the five families who share the five and a half acre property nestled on the shores of Farren Lake decided that something needed to be done about their wooden retaining wall. It was old, unsightly, and causing erosion. It needed a makeover.

After hearing about the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority’s (RVCA) Shoreline Naturalization Program, Mrs. LaBrosse and her property partner Eugenia Flett, started the process of transforming the solid structure into a lush vegetated shoreline.

Installing solid structures, such as cement or wood, to curb erosion along the shoreline is often a short-term solution. A hard wall affects the shoreline in many ways. The most serious include increased erosion of neighboring properties because waves are deflected instead of absorbed as well as a loss of natural vegetation growth and wildlife habitat.

The Shoreline Naturalization Program was the perfect solution to LaBrosse’s shoreline makeover needs.

The program delivers complementary on-site visits by experienced and professional RVCA staff. They provide straightforward, site-specific advice on how to revamp the shoreline. The pro-

cess includes creating a planting plan, ordering supplies and plants and preparing the site. Property owners can take care of the planting or have RVCA staff help. It’s also subsidized — landowners pay only 25 per cent of the cost.

“We look to do what’s good for both the environment and the property owner,” explains Andrea Klymko, lake planning and shoreline stewardship program manager. “We want a good balance so the needs and goals of the landowner are central to the planning process. Assessing how the land is used, what sightlines and access points to the water should be kept are all discussed before planting begins.”

LaBrosse’s plan called for slowly retiring the cedar wood retaining wall – removing sections slowly once the newly planted native shrubs took root in its place. Gray dogwood, high bush cranberry, red osier dogwood and sweet gale were planted because their elaborate, water-loving root systems hold valuable shoreline soils in place. The shrubs were strategically placed allowing for a view of the lake and access for swimming and boating. A no-mow zone was also marked out to create a two to three meter buffer zone to clean and slow runoff and provide habitat. All decisions were site-specific and took the landowner’s current needs and long-term goals in mind.

“There are so many benefits when it comes to shoreline naturalization. The

water, land and vegetation work together to create a healthy shoreline,” says Klymko. “Native vegetation stabilizes the soil by holding it in place with a root system. Shrubs, trees and plants provide habitat, food and shelter for land and aquatic animals.”

Andrea adds that the lake benefits from increased oxygen and shade while the cooler water temperatures benefit aquatic life. Added bonuses for property owners are sound and wind breaks, cleaner and cooler air, cleaner water through filtration, flood mitigation and less maintenance. Meaning, property owners have more time to enjoy the scenery and relax.

“Each year we witnessed the slow wearing away of the retaining wall,” states LaBrosse. “But we are confident that as the naturalization of the shoreline takes hold the pace of erosion will continue to slow.”

RVCA staff also make sure to visit the sites once a year for five years to assess the plants and to replant any that may not have survived. Landowners can even participate in subsequent years if they wish to further to enhance the shoreline.

“They were very helpful. We wanted to improve the area, but didn’t know what to plant or how close they should be to each other. RVCA staff came out and knew exactly what to plant. Everything has survived in a difficult growing area,” LaBrosse states. “We’ve already

noticed an increase in the number of minnows and schools of larger fish near our shoreline. We’re delighted with the increase in the number of birds, butterflies and wild flowers among the branches of our new greenery. A successful and rewarding project!”

Landowners interested in a shoreline makeover can contact Klymko at 613692-3571, 1-800-267-3504 ext. 1173 or andrea.klymko@rvca.ca.

HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY Steve and Marie Carroll August 1, 2014 Family and friends are invited to help them celebrate on Sunday, August 3, 2014 from 2-5 p.m. at St. Columbanus Church Hall, Elgin.

Best wishes only please.

We cherish the life your 50 years together have given us.

Love, Colleen & Dave, Joyce & Dave, Pat & Deb, Susan & Steve, Bernie & Elaine, Kathleen & James, and your 11 grandchildren A wee lad from Drummond, his name it was Murray Despite his short legs - oh could he hurry He searched Drummond far, and he searched Drummond wide But not anywhere could he find one for his bride So he started his trek down Old Number Seven At a dance in Innisville he thought he’d found heaven With his left eye squeezed shut, and a twinkle in his right He grabbed a young blonde and they danced for the night With the Scotch Corners teacher tight in his arms He tried to impress her with plans for his farms It wasn’t too long ‘til he proposed to his wife She jumped at the chance to be his for life At the altar they met on the 31st of July At St. John’s in Innisville, not a cloud in the sky They promised to love, in good times and in bad He was pleased with his pick, this little farm lad!

It’s sixty years later, and time how it flies!

A life time of love in the blink of any eye They don’t want a big party - but don’t leave them alone!

They would love a card, or a visit, or a call on the phone HAPPY 60TH ANNIVERSARY Murray and Muriel Code With love from your family

SMAIL - In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, Len Smail who passed away July 28, 2009.

5 years have passed since you left us.

And we’re still sad that we didn’t get to say goodbye that day.

Silent tears will still fall at the mention of your name.

But we take comfort knowing that you’re safe in your Heavenly home reunited with your mom and dad and my mom who has joined you.

What a grand reunion there must have been!

We sure wish there were visiting days in Heaven!

We love you Len and miss you every day!

MINSHULL, Stanley - In loving memory of a beloved husband, father and grandfather who passed away July 25, 2009.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you and whispered “Come to Me”.

With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away.

Although we loved you dearly We couldn’t make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hardworking hands at rest, It broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

We will always love and keep you in our hearts.

MURRAY – In loving memory of Michelle Lynn Murray (nee Mooney) December 28, 1965 July 30, 2012.

Tonight the stars are gleaming On a lonely silent grave Who sleeps in dreamless slumber One we love but could not save.

No one knows the silent heartaches Only those who have lost can tell, Of the grief that we bear in silence For the one we love so well.

Your loving parents

For many years the Late Lion Carl Sadler and his family supplied many in the community with Gladiolus in time for decoration days at local cemeteries. Following Carl’s passing his wife Shirley and their girls, offered the Lions Club this project as a fund raiser. We gladly accepted and named the project “The Lion Carl Sadler Memorial Fund Raiser”. In that way our club can raise funds to contribute back to the community and keep the motto of Lionism “We Serve” and the spirit of Lion Carl alive in Almonte.

The Lions Club will be selling Gladiolus at the Almonte Arena Saturday, August 9 - 8am until 12 Noon & Saturday, August 16 - 8am until 1pm Gladiolus will be provided by GREEN ACRES GREENHOUSES, SMITHS FALLS. Orders will be in mixed dozens. Limited additional mixed dozens will be available on a first come, first serve basis.

$15.00 per dozeN Members will be calling those who purchased Glads from us last year between July 23 and July 31. If for some reason we missed calling you, you can place your orders by contacting Lion Reg Gamble or Josh Gamble at 256-3313 or Green Acres Green Houses at 283-6423.

Thank You for supporting the Lions Club

ELLIOTT, LOIS E. – In loving memory of our Mom who passed away August 2, 2007.

It has been seven years since we had to say goodbye, And we still talk about you and remember that twinkle in your eye.

Your grandchildren are growing up, but have not forgotten about you, Because we reminisce and look at all those pictures that you took too.

Some of us are now having our own aches and pains, But we have you to look up to, because you never did complain.

We still visit your resting place and place flowers with care, And we cherish all the memories you gave us to share.

Forever loved and always in our hearts, We love you Mom.

Bass Lake air crash veteran calls international response to MH17 crash ‘too much talk, no action’ Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Submitted photo

Bass Lake resident Ron Coleman, seen here in February 1969, flew fighter jets for the Canadian air force before becoming an air accident investigator.

One of the frustrations of his job was that investigators, like the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, (TSB), “cannot command anybody to do anything.” They can simply make recommendations. “It (investigations) take a lot of time, with a lot of people…it is a very detailed audit. No stone goes unturned.”

An investigation very often takes on the traits of a police procedure.

“What they said was irrelevant,” he said.

“What they did was important. Look at the decisions they made.”

In his experience, an airline executive may say that safety is the top priority for their company, but looking at budget documents that say that the maintenance budget has been consistently cut back over the past several years, will tell him something else.

“I watched them,” he said. “When you did, you could tell the liars from the honest.”

Even those experiences dealing with people who might have been less than honest, “I enjoyed it so much. I still wouldn’t mind,” going to a site even now.

Iroquois-born and raised, Coleman spent 22 years as an officer in the Canadian air force, as a fighter jet pilot. For the 14 years thereafter, he was in the reserves as a staff officer.

He had received his wings at the age of 17, when he signed up and flew T-33s in Gimli, Manitoba, before heading overseas to fly Sabre fighter jets in the 104 squadron. After a series of defence cuts, he was sent down to the United States as an instructor as part of an exchange. After holding down a defence staff job, he was sent to Syria’s Golan Heights area as part of a United Nations mission. He again returned to Canada where he flew CF101s out of Comox, British Columbia, and then came home to eastern Ontario to finish up his commerce degree studies at the Royal

News – Ron Coleman knows all too well what the accident investigators poring over the charred wreckage of crashes in Ukrainian sunflower fields, the harsh desert terrain of Mali, and a tiny Taiwanese village are going through right now.

Coleman is a former Canadian air force fighter pilot and flight crash investigator.

These past few weeks have seen the worst accumulation of air disasters in recent memory, including: - July 17: Malaysia Airlines MH17, brought down by a missile over eastern Ukraine, killing 298.

- July 23: TransAsia Airways GE222, which went down on a small island off the coast of Taiwan, killing 48, with 10 survivors. Bad weather from a nearby typhoon could be a contributing factor.

- July 24: Air Algerie AH5017, which was also facing bad weather. All 118 on board died.

Add to this Air Canada flight AC84 having to divert its course while on a final approach to Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion airport on July 25 because of Hamas rockets being fired from the Gaza Strip, Sunwing charter flight 772, bound for Panama City, being escorted back to Toronto airport by F-16s after a passenger allegedly threatened to blow up the plane, also on July 25, and even WestJet flight 585, from Hamilton, Ont., to Calgary, Alta., on July 24, having to be diverted to Toronto because of engine problems, and there have been no shortage of jitters about airplane safety of late.

But Coleman, a former air force fighter jet pilot who lives on Bass Lake, outside of Lombardy, in Rideau Lakes Township, is not surprised that there were three major air disasters so close together.

“When I was in the air force and there was a crash, we would all cringe,” he said during a telephone interview on the morning of July 25. “We always knew that there would be three more,” and bad news coming in threes was no exception this past week.

The rash of crashes might be making some people re-think their travel plans, even though he is quick to point out that air travel is still the safest form of transportation. The Ukrainian air disaster has come very soon after the loss of MH370, which disappeared between Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Beijing, China, on March 8, with the likely loss of all 239 people on board.

According to the Aviation Safety Network, there have only been 11 accidents of commercial airplanes so far this year, compared with 29 for last year. However, 644 lives have been lost so far this year, already surpassing last year’s total of 265. While the early days of flying were obviously more fraught with perils, even as late as the 1970s, that decade did not record a single year where the number of deaths dipped below 1,000. In the past decade, the number of airline deaths has peeked above 1,000 only once, in 2005.

Whenever a plane does crash, there are many interested parties taking part in the investigation – and, sometimes, just as many different conclusions. When the flight data recorder is listened to, the airline will be listening for one thing, the regulators another.

Military College in Kingston, followed by French training.

But he wasn’t done with learning, being sent to Prince Edward Island for maritime reconnaissance training.

During his time with the air force, “I had been involved in flight safety in all levels,” and a friend approached him with the opportunity to work for the TSB. By far, the largest crash he worked on was one of the top 20 deadliest crashes in aviation history, when Nationair flight 2120 crashed in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, killing all 261 on board, including 14 Canadian crew members. The DC-8 plane had been chartered to take Muslim pilgrims to the hajj in Mecca, and the Canadians “did virtually the entire investigation.” They had been delegated the task by the Saudi Arabians, and “that is allowed… normally the country of occurrence does the investigation.” That delegation is happening now. Dutch troops are being sent to secure the MH17 site, with the flight recorders being handed over to British experts. Australian and Dutch police and forensic experts are also on the ground in the Ukraine, and French troops are also securing the Air Algerie site in Mali.

“We are in strange territory here,” he said of the Ukrainian crash site. “You cannot conduct investigations in a war zone. It’s absurd.”

He also chastised the international community for their lack of coordinated response and resolve on the MH17 tragedy. “(It’s) far too much talk, no action,” he said.

Meanwhile, in Africa, while he is not aware of the more minute details of the Air Algerie investigation, considering that the weather was really bad in the area at the time, under such circumstances it is his opinion, “it’s almost always crew failure. If you get under stress, you make mistakes. Stress levels go up in bad weather.”

While he hastened to point out, “I am not in a position to advise Air Canada” the airline temporarily suspended flights to Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion Airport, as did America’s Federal Aviation Administration, earlier this month.

He did note, however, that, even though the flight ban has now been lifted, “flying into a war zone is not a good idea. You cannot predict what somebody on the ground will do who is under stress.”

He also criticized the international aviation industry for not taking more steps to protect passengers flying over an area like the Ukraine.

“Why would you call it a safe air space over a country that is essentially (in) a civil war?” he wondered. “I don’t understand.”

With an abundance of bad news, Coleman said he is not surprised that a lot of questions are being raised about air safety.

“When things happen like this, it raises awareness,” he said. “As people, we think about these things. It’s normal to be concerned.” He also cautioned those who are afraid of flying that, in actual fact, “accident rates are going down.”

One way he feels that airline safety could be improved is by getting insurance companies to be more proactive.

“They could have a tremendous impact on who gets insurance,” he said.

Former assistant coach Glenn is Perth Jr. B Blue Wings new bench boss Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Sports – He’s ready and he’s chomping at the bit to get started.

Colin Glenn is the new head coach for the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings, but it’s not that big of a stretch for the familiar face behind the bench.

Last year, Glenn was the assistant to head coach and Blue Wings new owner, Michael McLean.

“I’m excited… and I’m ready to go,” Glenn said on July 24 during a family RV vacation in Montana. “It’s a huge honour and a privilege to be in Perth and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Glenn, who is an Ottawa resident, has ties to Perth as a young Shawville player himself back in his day – early ’90s. “Playing for Shawville and seeing Roy Green as Perth’s head coach, we were always trying to figure out how to beat them,” he said. “We were wishing for a power outage… we could never beat Perth.”

Now he said, it will be nice to be that “Roy Green” of the Blue Wings.

To help in his coaching career, McLean has become Glenn’s coaching certification sponsor. Glenn said he’s excited to be advancing in his national coaching certification with his next level – the highly regarded high-performance certification. This intensive training course is a 44 hour in-class session, along with 80 to 100 hours of theory,

or homework, as he calls it, and then a mentor will follow him through the next season to see how he implements these new strategies learned.

“It’s a great opportunity,” Glenn said, as he’s completed the class time needed, and is now on to the theory part of things. “I should have done this 15 years ago, but it’s something that wasn’t feasible… now the time and opportunity are here and it’s a great experience. I’m thankful to Michael for being behind me on this one.”

Glenn is now looking for an assistant coach. He will remain as the general manager with the team, but would entertain the idea of someone helping him in that respect as well, he said.

“We’re considering two people for the job right now and when I get back from my holidays I think we’ll offer one or both an opportunity,” Glenn said.

“They’re both local guys, too.”

It was just last month when McLean announced his retirement as head coach, as he admitted that he didn’t want to be spending so much time on the team bus at all hours of the night, travelling to barns in Shawville and Renfrew when he had a wife and small daughter at home.

McLean will now jump into advertising and marketing full steam ahead, he said recently in an interview with this paper, while he lets his former assistant coach take the reins on a team they rebuilt last season.

“Michael and I have similar coaching philosophies,” Glenn said. “It’s not like we’re starting the ground up again. I’m not new… they will already know me, and that’s good. We’ve got a solid crew of about 12 guys coming back this season which is great.”

Glenn said they have mailed out training camp invitations to some 400 local players to give them the opportunity to skate… “see what they’ve got,” Glenn said.

“You know Michael… why not give to 400 kids what we can give to one.

Let’s offer them all the same opportunity.”

It’s that generosity that will cram the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre on Aug. 23 and 24 when the Blue Wings hold training camp. It will be mostly inter-squad games happening which will allow the coaches to see what they have on the ice.

“Ideally, we’d like to see about 60 guys, and we’ll take about 20, but opening camp up to a lot more local kids is something that we’ve never done before.”

The following weekend, the team will be doing some home and home series against Westport and Athens with Perth hosting Westport Friday, Sept.

5 and Athens on Monday, Sept. 7. On Saturday and Sunday, they will travel to Westport and Athens respectively.

The season opens Sept. 12 with Perth hosting Renfrew at 7:30 p.m.

Bailey Andison tastes gold win at swimming nationals Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Sports – Bailey Andison has struck gold.

The Smiths Falls resident and Perth Stingrays swimmer earned a gold place finish in the 50-metre breaststroke during the 2014 Canadian Age Group Championships held in Winnipeg earlier this month.

“I think things just fell into place,” Andison said in a telephone interview.

The seasoned competitive swimmer took part in one of the largest age groups at the competition (16-18-year-olds), but Rod Agar, head coach of the Perth Stingrays said Andison was ready to take that spot.

“She swam the whole race as if it was her race to win,” Agar added. “I know what she’s capable of. She did it yesterday and it was fantastic.”

Andison went into the July 24 competition seeded second and managed to out-swim the top competitor to snatch the gold medal. She’s been swimming in the 50m breaststroke for many years and has consistently put in strong performances with many silver medals to show for it. Agar said the difference this year was her mindset and determination to push that extra bit to make it happen.

Bailey Andison, a Smiths Falls native and Perth Stingrays member, took home her first gold medal last week after an impressive performance in the 50m breaststroke during the national competition in Winnipeg.

“You kind of had to step up to win and she did that,” Agar added. “It was time for a gold.”

This is Andison’s first gold in competition and one of a handful of races the 16-year-old took part in last week. On Friday, Andison pushed herself by running the 400 IM event in the morning and then again in the afternoon to break the top five spot. This competition is physically and psychologically grueling and has been compared to giving birth.

“It’s five minutes of turning yourself inside out,” Agar explained.

Andison wasn’t able to wrestle a better standing out of her performance Friday afternoon and instead fell down two spots to land in eighth place. She also came in seventh in the

200m breaststroke.

“I feel that I can go a lot faster than that,” Andison said of her 400 IM performance.

The teenaged athlete is taking the lessons out of this experience and applying them to another competition this week – the East-West Dual meet in Winnipeg. This competition began on Tuesday, July 29, and pits athletes from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes against those from Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. Andison will be joined by fellow Stingray, Olivia Ellard in this race.

Andison’s strong performance in the 50m breaststroke has Agar looking beyond the summer swim schedule to the coming year. He said their mutual goal now is to prepare Andison for

a spot on junior nationals. This level of competition welcomes swimmers across Canada who have won gold.

“That’s what we’re going to be working on next year is getting her on the podium,” Agar said.

Andison credits her decision to not just get into the pool, but to work extremely hard every moment she’s in the water as the key element to her recent success.

“It’s more than just the commitment thing,” she said.

Andison works in the pool daily. In the fall she doubles up her swim practices on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday to give her that edge.

Young transplant swimmer, Courtney Doyle, excels at competition

Sports - Mike and April Doyle welcomed their first child, Courtney into the world on December 21, 2001.  At first Courtney seemed perfect but by the end of her first month of life things had dramatically changed. It was discovered that Courtney had a kidney disease called Finnish Type Nephrotic Syndrome. The next two years of Courtneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life were filled with massive medical intervention that included lots of medications, many surgeries, peritoneal dialysis, and hemodialysis to keep her alive. Courtneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only hope of longterm survival was to undergo a kidney transplant. Luckily her father Mike was a match and on October 28, 2003 he gave Courtney the best gift she will ever receive - his kidney. Courtney settled into her new â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? life fairly well. She got used to the medication, she learned to drink tons of water, she was able to start school and by all accounts is like every other child. The one major problem that remained was the

Swimming Program in the fall of 2011 and she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back. When asked how she likes swimming, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the muscles I have from swimming.

I feel good plus I love going to swim meets and hanging out with my friends.â&#x20AC;?

Courtney has never been as healthy as she is right now. Since joining swimming she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been admitted to the hospital at all, her blood work has completely stabilized, she is sleeping better, she rarely gets sick and best of all she has gained so much confidence, in and out of the pool. This confidence led to a first every family holiday for the Doyle family and it was centered around Courtney competing at the Canadian Transplant Games.

The seventh annual games were held in Moncton, New Brunswick recently and what a wonderful experience the games were for her and her family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved meeting new people and making new friends,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved knowing that there are other people out there who are just like me. My most

favourite part was when my dad received his gold medal for being my kidney donor.â&#x20AC;?  Courtney won gold medals in all five of her events (5k bike, 1k run, 50m backstroke swim, 50m butterfly swim, 100m freestyle swim). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel proud of myself,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels amazing to know that I was able to get five gold medals.â&#x20AC;?  In her 50m backstroke race she actually beat the World Transplant Record time, which was set by a swimmer from the United Kingdom back in 2011.  Courtney now has her sights set on joining Team Canada at the World Transplant Games next

summer, in Argentina. She said she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;very excitedâ&#x20AC;? about the possibility of representing her country on the world stage. Courtney will be back in the pool with the Perth Stingrays in September for training but she will be in search of a local sponsor to assist with travel costs for the World Transplant Games in Argentina, August 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My family inspires me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have all been there for me from the beginning and continue to support me in everything I do. I am only here today because of my dad giving me his kidney. My family always tells me I can do anything I set my mind to and I am starting to

believe them.â&#x20AC;?

If you are interested in supporting Courtneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest, you can email CourtneyforGold@ gmail.com for more information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal for next year is try and raise enough money to attend world games in Argentina,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would fight with everything in me to win a medal for my country, my family and all the people who support me. Â I want to show people what organ donation can accomplish.â&#x20AC;?

None of this would have been possible and Courtney would not be alive today without receiving a donor kidney 10 years ago. Organ donation is so important. Sign up at www.beadonor.ca.
