Samantha Davidson rescued her son Jack from the swift waters on the Tay during the Stewart Park Festival weekend. The boy had just learned to swim last year, but the current was a little too strong for him. Below, kids check out the old Mill Street pool, where the swift waters meet with the Tay Canal.

News – A mother’s quick thinking saved her son from drowning in the Tay River during the Stewart Park Festival. Glen Tay resident Samantha Davidson, who works at The Table Community Food Centre, was enjoying the Fred Penner concert on Saturday, July 20 at the Stewart Park Festival, with her son Jack, who was celebrating his seventh birthday that day. Her son had been splashing in the water near the little island in the park, before deciding to move on, with his mother, to the old swimming pool beside Mill Street. “I could see that the water was high and I mentioned it to him,” said Davidson during an interview on Wednesday, July 24. “I told him to keep close to the edge. I was standing right on the edge, as close as I could without being in the water.” “When the festival is on, the kids are all in the river,” said Shea LeBlanc, Jack’s dad, during an interview the same day. “The water has been a little high there.” With the water levels so high and the current so strong, it didn’t take much for Jack to begin to get swept up in the strong waters. “It happened so fast,” said Davidson. “She looked away for a second and then he was gone,” said LeBlanc. “She saw him and (he had) terror on his face.” Jack had just started swimming last summer, but his father commended him for keeping his cool. “He didn’t panic,” said LeBlanc. “That’s one of the things that saved him.” “He started calling, but didn’t go under,” said Davidson. “He said ‘Help me, please.’ Always polite.” At that point, survival for one’s child kicked in. “She just jumped in with her clothes on…As quick as that she was in the water. The hardest part was fighting the current,” said LeBlanc. In the middle of the stream, things were not going well for mother and son. “I wasn’t thrilled with our chances,” said Davidson. “I was surprised with how quickly it is moving right there. I got hold of him and he pushed me under a couple of times in his panic. We fought to get to the shore right away.” Once they reached the shore however, leaving the water was not as easy as they had hoped. “When they got to the water’s edge, she couldn’t get out,” said LeBlanc. “She was exhausted.” A man whom Davidson suspects was a Stewart Park volunteer helped her and her son out of the water. “I appreciated him coming out,” said Davidson. “I was quite tired and had all of my clothes on.” Shortly after the incident, LeBlanc received a frantic text message from Perth, while he was in the middle of a work weekend. “The first words ‘There’s been an incident,’ you are like ‘What?!’ Then the next line is ‘We’re okay,’” which allayed his fears somewhat. Having just emerged from the water, “she was calm and cool at the time,” but shortly afterwards, as LeBlanc talked with Davidson, “she was having anxiety problems then. We certainly had a moment where it was relief. She was still in shock and I am in shock. How close it could be that it could’ve been a different phone call.”

to become an annual event that will rotate around the county. It aims to support more than 55 local businesses and six farmers’ markets, as well as developing a new economic development network for the county through partnership with the Ontario Tourism Culinary Alliance. “Beckwith Township is pleased to be the inaugural municipality for the Lanark County Harvest Festival,� said Beckwith reeve Richard Kidd. “It is a tribute to our strong rural and agricultural heritage, and our staff have been working very hard with partners to ensure the event is a huge success.� “We hope to create employment, build a customer base and encourage lots of visitors to come to Lanark County,� continued Dobson. “We have been recognized as a food destination, and want to build on this while raising awareness.� There are still spaces for vendors. To register, contact cmcgregor@twp. beckwith.on.ca. For general information, visit www.lanarkcountytourism. ca or call 1-888-4-LANARK. Submitted by the County of Lanark.
County receives assurances about 9-1-1 system cluding 9-1-1, and so the connection did not happen.� Hannah added there are several redundancies in the system, however, that allowed for the problem to be resolved quickly. “The first call has been identified as being made at 8:05 a.m., and by 8:06 a.m. an alarm was activated in the system that indicated a 9-1-1 call had gone unanswered. The alarm was received and acted upon at 8:07 a.m., which identified the first of the lines that was not functioning as designed. When the effected lines were identified, the process of rerouting the system away from those lines began. By 8:20 a.m. the effected lines had been isolated and calls began to process normally at the CERB.� Hannah said he has been assured no other calls were made during that time period. “The county, OPP and Bell work continuously to ensure methods and processes are in place to deal with these events,� he said. “In this case, the network switch failure was immediately detected and restoration activities were initiated and completed quickly.� Hannah noted that, over time, potential failure points in the 9-1-1 system have been identified and protocols developed to minimize service interruption when they occur. “Tests are conducted regularly to ensure the system functions as designed and contingency plans are annually reviewed with all 9-1-1 agencies to ensure restoration occurs quickly in the event of a technical problem,� he said.
Chief administrative officer/ treasurer Kurt Greaves said Lanark County has been using the 9-1-1 system since 2002. “This is the first disruption of service we have experienced.� Warden Bill Dobson (Montague reeve) said the county will continue to work with officials from Bell Canada and the OPP to ensure the 9-1-1 system remains reliable. “Public safety is our primary concern,� he stated. “The 9-1-1 system is standard across the majority of communities in North America due to its ease of use, and people should continue to use it.� Hannah added it is important for callers to stay on the line when they call 9-1-1 so the system can detect incoming calls and so that call answerers can collect the information they need in an emergency.

News – Lanark County officials have received more information about an isolated issue that occurred with the 9-1-1 system earlier this month, along with assurances that preventive protocols are in place. On July 5, 9-1-1 calls for an ambulance went unanswered in the Clayton area. A citizen then called the local (Mississippi Mills) fire chief, Art Brown, who contacted ambulance dispatch from his portable radio. Lanark County has a contract for 9-1-1 call-answering services with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), who operate a Central Emergency Reporting Bureau (CERB) in North Bay. The service is provided in conjunction with Bell Canada. Emergency calls to 9-1-1 are answered at the CERB and then rerouted to the appropriate responding agencies, whether it is police, fire or ambulance. In a conference call last week, Lanark County Emergency Services Coordinator Rick Hannah said representatives from Bell 9-1-1 explained to him and the OPP CERB Team that the service interruption occurred when a network card in the telephone system failed. This resulted in six calls regarding this single incident not reaching the CERB, including five calls from one land line. “When a 9-1-1 call is made, the phone network system searches for an available line at the CERB to make a connection,� Hannah explained. “On July 5, a network failure affected several services, in-

Local teens learn about life as a police officer at Algonquin College News – Working on a crime scene investigation, treating a patient with two broken ankles and performing CPR was just a typical day for seven teenagers in Perth last week. They were part of the Algonquin College Policing and Public Safety Career Sampler program, hosted at the Perth campus. These local students signed up for a week-long session to get a glimpse of their potential dream job. From paramedic training to firefighting to police investigations, the teenagers had the opportunity to find out and ask questions about what it takes to work in these fields. Perth Fire Chief Steve Fournier and Fire Prevention Officer Peter Echlin opened the week’s events. They sat down with the students to talk about becoming a firefighter before heading outside to check out the fire gear and truck. “The fire presentation was the perfect way to start off the week,” says Tiffany Hart, Career Sampler Team Lead. “The students were immediately engaged and had fun learning about the gear and stand on the truck while controlling the water hose. Right from the start, the camp was engaging and the students were having a good time.” For the remainder of the week, students had the opportunity to meet with police officers, paramedics and a career counselor to talk about these career opportunities. Students also spent most of the week following the guide Ontario Provincial Police Inspector Gerry Salisbury and Con-

I am glad I learned the opportunity existed here in Perth at Algonquin College and hope she can experience another session in the future. Good work by everyone involved!” The week ended with a graduation ceremony for the participants, who learned earlier that week how to march, which they did when they entered the ceremony with a bagpiper leading the way. Students can have the chance to take another future career sampler session. Algonquin College will be hosting two ‘Get Inspired About Helping Others’ career samplers in Smiths Falls and Carleton Place in August. Participants can learn about working as an early childhood educator, child and youth worker, social service worker, personal support worker and more. The last day for these camps will transform into a day about taking care of themselves. To learn more about these career samplers, visit the Perth Campus website at algonquincollege.com/ perth.

Alzheimer Society unveils new adult day program site, satellite office in Smiths Falls Services executive director Peter McKenna, said it’s important for all organizations under one roof to work together. “I’m really pleased to be partnering with Louise and with this (program) the whole world is coming much closer together,” he remarked during the July 16 open house. “We have Meals on Wheels programs, respite care, the Alzheimer Society adult day program, physicians and nurse practitioners as well as diabetes and education here. We’re all working together to try and make your life a whole lot easier.”

News – More local clients will now be able to access the services of the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County with the recent opening of its new adult day program site and satellite office in Smiths Falls. Among clients, supporters and South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) representatives, Alzheimer Society staff, with the help of Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples, cut the ribbon to officially open the new space during an open house July 16. Located within at 2 Gould St. (former Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute), the move allows the society to serve more clients within its adult day program and enhance it with support groups and education as well. Alzheimer Society of Lanark County executive director Louise Noble said the program had been operating in the new space since April, but the day was a “very happy” one. “With this move we have increased the number of clients served at our adult day program...,” she noted, stating that the day program provides a social aspect to those suffering with dementia. “They can come here and do exercise, sometimes have music, make arts and crafts or take day trips.” Noble stressed how much a difference the larger location would have on its clients. “It’s about enhancing their lives through interaction that they (clients) don’t just get at home and it gives the caregivers a day of respite. Really that’s what the program is all about.” The program was previously housed in the Lamplighter’s building at 30 Victoria Avenue for three years, but according to Melinda Coleman, client service manager of the society, that space was cramped and inaccessible to seniors. Alzheimer Society board president Don McDiarmid applauded the efforts of staff to make the program’s relocation a reality. “The board is very proud of Louise and her staff for bringing us along so year by year we’re more effective in serving our clientele,” he stated. “We wouldn’t likely be here if we didn’t have that quality of staff.” In addition to the adult day program, the location has become a satellite office for the society, which will

complement its head office in Perth. It will be open each Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The move was made possible through $147,000 in funding from the South East LHIN. An original sum of $100,000 was announced in November 2012 and an additional $47,000 committed in 2013 in order to increase the capacity of the program. “The new site for the adult day program in Smiths Falls demonstrates the South East LHIN’s commitment to increasing ease of access to community support services for all patients and their caregivers in the South East region,” stated South East LHIN chief executive officer Paul Huras in a press
release issued by the LHIN. “The Smiths Falls service expansion will provide seniors and their families with increased access to local day programs and supports in Lanark County,” added Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier, in the same release. “The new adult day program and satellite office will no doubt further enhance upon the good work already being provided by the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County.” John Gerretsen, MPP for Kingston and The Islands, said initiatives such as enhancing the Alzheimer Society’s adult day program, is allowing seniors to keep their independence.

“The adult day program and satellite office in Smiths Falls is a service expansion which will bring muchneeded programming to the seniors of Smiths Falls and their families,” he stated in the LHIN release. “By improving access to day programs, the LHIN and the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County are putting in place supports to keep seniors in their homes longer.” With the addition of the Alzheimer Society in the Gould St. building, it is becoming a health services hub, enhancing Rideau Community Health Services and Community Home Support Lanark County, also located there.

Clients’ reaction Noble said having a satellite office in Smiths Falls was set up for the ease of clients and to cut down on transportation. “We’re very excited about this. We see all the potential and we’re going to be open one day a week now but there is much potential down the road,” she said. Clients are excited about the move as well. Smiths Falls resident Helen Trimm, who helped cut the ribbon July 16, is a regular user of the society’s adult day program. She credits it with helping her become more social. “I started coming to it and ever since, I haven’t wanted to stop coming. I love it here,” she noted. “The people are good, I like the socializing and music. It’s just happy.” A seasoned bingo player, Trimm said the environment is relaxed and she feels like she’s among family when there. Her daughter and caregiver, Barbara Dodd, sees the change in her mother and praised the kindness of Alzheimer Society staff. “The staff are out of this world. It’s like a community and the staff are very involved with their clients. They don’t just treat them like clients, but like family,” she said, noting the minimal costs of the program make it affordable to more people. “I don’t know what she (Trimm) would be doing if she didn’t have this to go to,” Dodd continued. “That social interaction is so important. I can’t say enough about how great the program is.” For more information on the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County, its programs and services, visit their website at www.alzheimer.ca/lanark or call 1-800-511-1911.

Ottawa actor drives comedy in final week of Classic Theatre comedy

In the Neil Simon comedy The Star-Spangled Girl, Richard Gélinas, left, and Trevor Pease are longtime friends whose lives are interrupted by a conservative southern belle, Sophie Rauchsmeyer (played by Kate R0012224644_0725
Arts – Ottawa’s Richard Gélinas is one of the most recognized actors in the national capital theatre scene. Currently starring as the love-struck, hormonally challenged Norman Cornell in the Classic Theatre Festival production of Neil Simon’s comedy The Star-Spangled Girl (which closes Aug. 4), Gélinas is a bundle of energy whose stage moves and comic timing are reminiscent of the likes of Jimmy Cagney and Robin Williams. Like those two legendary performers, Gélinas is a hard-working professional performer who has undertaken significant training in the art of movement, physicality, breath control, and audience interaction, all of which have served him well in the 16 years since he graduated from Concordia University’s theatre training program. They also undergird his performance in The Star-Spangled Girl, whether he is engaged in a kung fu battle or a mop-versus-ukelele fight with his roommate Andy (played by Trevor Pease), or his incessant prancing as he bounces around the stage trying to woo the title character, Sophie Rauchsmeyer. Playing a character like Norman, Gélinas says, is an interesting challenge, and while he can relate to the young man “who loses his mind over a girl, there’s also a lot of changes he goes through over the course of the play, and he’s not always the fool. I like the way he grows up through the process.” Asked how he maintains such a powerful presence on stage for 7 shows per week, Gélinas credits the rehearsal process of Classic Theatre Festival director Laurel Smith. “It’s a very good process, we were all very much on the same page, and we built a very strong foundation, so when I arrive at the theatre to get into my role, it’s like putting on a wellmade suit. As actors we often do a kind of self-hypnosis. We have to believe we are these two writers in 1966 San Francisco so the audience will believe it.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Hillier insulting intelligence of constituents, says reader DEAR EDITOR: I was shocked to read the outrageous claims against Hydro One by our local MPP, Randy Hillier, published as a letter to the editor in last week’s (July 18) EMC. To begin with, he claims that “there is no way for anyone to check” the reading on their new electricity meter – the Smart Meter. Well, most of us have these meters and have seen the clear digital display. It is actually much easier to read than the old meters with the rotating dials. Remember those? Some of the dials rotated forward and others backwards, making it a real challenge to figure out which numbers the dials were pointing towards. With the new meters, by comparison, you simply go out and write down the numbers. If you wanted to know how much electricity you used between any two dates and times, for example,
you simply subtract the first reading from the second one. Most of us learned subtraction in grade school, Mr. Hillier. Mr. Hillier’s rambling letter continues with the claim that “Hydro One has shut down our low-cost electricity generators such as hydro and nuclear.” This statement is obviously untrue. What is true is that we have few opportunities to expand hydroelectric generation in this province. Nevertheless, most people have heard about the “Big Dig” tunnel under the city of Niagara Falls – one example of how Hydro One is working hard to find more clean and sustainable electricity for the citizens of Ontario. Why couldn’t Mr. Hillier acknowledge this major engineering achievement? See LETTER page 10
COMMENTARY
Move over for emergency vehicles Editorial – Long weekends are all about lazing by the pool or spending quality time at the cottage, but don’t be in a rush to get to your destination this Civic Holiday long weekend. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will once again be out in full force over this long weekend, targeting drivers who fail to wear seatbelts, are impaired or distracted, and for those who fail to move to the side of the road for emergency vehicles. Five people died over the 2012 Civic Holiday long weekend and OPP want to ensure those numbers aren’t repeated or increased. Boat patrol will also be done and police will be watching for those showing a disregard for public safety. The OPP recently ramped up its emergency responder campaign in response to Ontario’s Move Over law, which states that all motorists encountering a police, fire or ambulance vehicle (in the same direction of travel) with lights flashing, must pull over to the side of the road if it can be done safely. While this law is becoming more widely publicized and enforced, according to OPP Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, it isn’t new. It was actually introduced 10 years ago in 2003. In fact, he said that since 1989 five OPP officers have lost their lives while doing their jobs after being hit by approaching vehicles on the side of the road. That grace period to let motorists off with a warning is now over, say the OPP and those in violation of it could receive between a $400 to $1,200 fine and three demerit points, if convicted. Judging by those numbers, it’s something police want motorists to take very seriously.
Thunderstorm proved two things – how dangerous they could be and how generous people were Lifestyle – Thunderstorms in the country terrified Mother. Sadly, that fear was passed on to me. We crouched in corners, but never on an outside wall, and always away from the telephone that hung on the kitchen wall. If it was a really horrific storm, I often took to hiding under a bed. Storms that struck through the night were especially frightening. The lightning lit up the entire countryside, and in the blackness of the night, rolling thunder roared, sounding like a gigantic train careening through our fields. It was not unusual for Mother to get all of us children out of our beds in the dead of night at the first sound of thunder or a flash of lightning. Father of course, slept through the entire storm. Seeing Mother sitting on a chair, away from any window, the coal oil lamp lit on the bake table by the back door, did little to put my mind at ease. She sat with her purse clutched tightly in her arms, ready to make a dash outside should our old log house be struck by lightning. Where we would run to, I had no idea! The very thought of going outside
into the raging storm was almost as frightening as shaking like a leaf inside, waiting for what I was sure was a fiery end to our lives. Mother constantly compared country storms with those she remembered from New York. With the heavy sounds of the city, storms there passed almost unnoticed. And the day lightning hit the pole that held our clothesline and followed it to the end pole, Mother nearly collapsed. My sister Audrey, whom I thought took storms much too lightly, said we should be grateful that the clothesline was free standing and not attached to the corner of the house! I knew what she meant. And then one summer day, when we had gone through a particularly long dry spell, the sky in the west darkened and far off in the distance we could hear the rumble of thunder. We had finished our noon meal, and by the time we had redded up the kitchen, the storm was upon us. Father said he would just sit a spell. “No use going out in that rain,” he said, as he settled down in the rocking chair with Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

to hover right overhead for a very long time. I prayed it would soon go away, and follow the Bonnechere to another part of the valley. “Oh my God,” Emerson yelled. Everett yelled for Father to come quickly to the window looking out towards the west hill. Earl, the most timid of the three began to cry. I knew something terrible had happened. Father jumped from the rocker and ran to the west window; cautiously, Mother, Audrey and I followed. “The lightning,” Emerson stammered. “It hit the big maple on the hill,” Everett said. And underneath the tree, where 11 of our Holstein cows had gone for shelter, we saw what had happened. They looked like they had laid themselves down to rest in the summer heat. But I knew without asking what had happened. The cows were dead… killed by a lightning bolt that had struck the maple. I saw the stark horror on Father’s face, and Mother’s tear streaked cheeks, and I knew without a doubt that we would never recover the loss.

What I saw next, once the storm had blown itself out, was Father and the brothers, walking behind the team of horses, pulling the double whiffle tree and heading to the west hill. One by one the dead Holsteins were dragged to the gravel pit and buried. The news of our loss spread quickly through the community of Northcote. Father said it could have been worse. Our young heifers were in the enclosure close to the barn, and two cows, for their own reasons had decided to stay at the bottom of the hill. And as always happened when tragedy struck in our farm community, one by one, neighbours responded. I saw them walking down our long lane leading a heifer or a cow over to our farm almost completely replacing our loss with a simple shake of a hand and a few words. That’s how things were done in the ‘30s. As well as our terrible loss, the lightning strike only confirmed in Mother’s mind that storms were not to be taken lightly, but treated as the real danger they could be, and sadly sometimes were. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

Sharon Lightning blast Elkland in final to win sixth Gil Read memorial tourney Sports – Sharon Lake Simcoe Lightning made sure their first appearance at the Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp was a memorable one. Lightning, the defending champions of the Oshawa City and District Fastball League, completed an undefeated run at the sixth annual competition with an 11-4 trouncing of Elkland Thunderbellys in the tournament final played Sunday at Carp Fairgrounds. Sharon is located north of Newmarket in the Greater Toronto Area. Thunderbellys, who were making their second straight appearance in the Carp tournament, are based in the small village of Elkland in north-central Pennsylvania. Sharon, who topped the final standings with five wins and a tie in six games, took home $1,800 in prize money. Runners-up Elkland, who were edged by Toronto Gators, the eventual tournament winners in the semi-finals of last year’s Carp venture, claims $700. Despite the loss in the title game Thunderbellys were an impressive 5-1 in the event. Donnacona Blue Sox, from the Quebec City area and Kars Aces, the three-time defending champions of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) were semi-finalists. Blue Sox finished the tourney with a 3-2 mark while Kars went 2-2-1. Both clubs earned $250 shares of the prize pot. In their semi-final encounter Lightning left it late before earning their place in Sunday’s championship game. Sharon trailed Donnacona 3-1 going to the bottom of the seventh and final inning of their semifinal showdown. But a walk-off double by Todd Hamblin chased home the tying and winning runs. Gregg Garrity also had a crucial run batted in for the winners in their come-from-behind triumph. Brad Worsley, in relief of Garrity, was the winning pitcher. Patrice Leclerc was the hard luck loser for Blue Sox. In the final the teams were
tied 4-4 in the fourth inning. But Lake Simcoe finally wore out Thunderbellys’ pitching, scoring seven unanswered runs in the late going. Aaron Trude of Sharon was named the most valuable player in the championship contest. Garrity was the winning pitcher with relief help from Worsley. An overworked Josh Johnson absorbed the loss on the hill for the Pennsylvania side. Hours earlier Johnson was the hero of the moment for Elkland, turning in a stellar pitching performance in his team’s tight 2-1 semi-final victory over Kars. Chris Read, son of the late Gil Read, and his cousin Al Read, who plays for Carp I4C Victory, are the chief organizers of the annual venture. Monday morning Chris Read expressed thanks to everyone who supported the sixth tournament. “We had the best turnout ever,” he says, adding that the Friday night crowd and sales was the best Friday in tournament history, doubling anything accomplished in the past. “There were at least 300 in the stands for the final Sunday. It was fantastic,” Read states. “We had 12 very competitive teams. The out-of-town teams all told us they want to come back next year, so obviously we are pleased about that.” Read adds the home run derby Sunday was also a major success with a large contingent of fans on hand to watch. “Everyone – the teams and the fans – comes out to assist a worthwhile cause,” he observes. 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. The top area team in the sixth annual tournament was Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric of GOFL. They finished the three-day event in fifth place with a 2-2-1 mark. Electric were eliminated at the quarterfinal
stage, losing 6-1 to Kars. Mitch Hardy of Aces spun a nifty two-hitter in Sunday morning’s match-up. Besides Kars and Fitzroy Harbour there were five other GOFL clubs involved in the Carp showdown. Host Carp I4C Victory was joined by Micksburg Twins, from the Upper Ottawa Valley, along with Stittsville 56ers, Manotick Taylor’s Blitz and Barrhaven Broadway Blues all from suburban Ottawa. Also in Sunday’s quarterfinals it was Sharon downing Napanee Junior Express 5-1 while Elkland got past Stittsville 5-3 and Donnacona doubled Micksburg 4-2. Busy Saturday Thunderbellys had a perfect Saturday to finish atop the eightteam playoff pool. The Pennsylvania side opened the day with a neat 5-0 triumph over another pre-tournament favourite, Donnacona. They followed that up with yet another shutout victory, blitzing Manotick 7-0. Johnson toed the rubber in both contests and rang up back-to-back shutouts. Thunderbellys topped the field by edging Stittsville 2-1 in an early evening showdown. A total of 14 games were played Saturday. Sharon claimed second seed in the playoff group by winning a pair of one-sided tilts and then tying Kars 3-3. In their first game Saturday morning the Lake Simcoe side blasted Napanee Senior Express 10-0. In their second outing, late in the afternoon, Lightning again hit double figures in an easy 10-3 jaunt against Barrhaven. Saturday night they had to settle for a 3-3 tie with Kars. In the round-robin games which were deadlocked after seven innings finished as ties with each team awarded a single point in the standings. Fitzroy Harbour concluded the round-robin in third position, posting two wins and tying Micksburg 5-5 in a night game Saturday. Earlier in the day Electric zapped local favourites Carp
7-0 as Victory failed to score for a second consecutive game. Donnacona grabbed fourth place in the playoff round with a 2-1 mark. After losing their first game to Elkland they rebounded with an 8-5 win over Stittsville in a noon hour clash Saturday. In a night game Blue Sox blasted Manotick 12-2. Micksburg grabbed fifth spot in the playoffs with a win and a pair of ties. Following a big win Friday they ended their morning start Saturday in a 3-3 tie with Napanee Junior Express. Their night game with Fitzroy also finished deadlocked. Perennial GOFL champion Kars was sixth following the round-robin with their 1-1-1 mark. Aces were edged 5-4 by Napanee Seniors Saturday evening. The final two playoff places went to Napanee Juniors and Stittsville. Junior Express was 1-1-1 following play Saturday. Their round-robin victory was an 8-1 whitewashing of hapless Carp who went 0-3 and managed just one run in three tournament contests. The 56ers made the quarterfinal mix despite dropping two of three round robin games. Stittsville won Friday before falling to Donnacona and Elkland in a very tough B Pool. Carp, Manotick, Barrhaven and Napanee Seniors were the four teams eliminated follow-
OPP works to improve awareness, reduce stigma about mental health issues and the workplace News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has made significant progress in trying to mitigate the impact of operational stress injuries (OSI) on its workforce, detailing some of its recent initiatives in its third quarterly report to the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman. The OPP has officially joined the ‘Not Myself Today at Work’ national campaign developed by Partners for Mental Health (PMH). “By joining with PMH, the OPP is furthering awareness of mental health issues and reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness. Planning for the OPP’s province-wide ‘Not Myself Day at Work’ event is underway for the fall of 2013,”
says Commissioner Chris Lewis. Lewis and Ontario Provincial Police Association president Jim Christie recently jointly announced the launch of the OSI Working Group email address where members (current and former) and their families are encouraged to confidentially contact the working group to share their thoughts and experiences, both positive and negative, on issues associated with OSI in the workplace. The OPP recently mailed correspondence to the residences of all OPP members on a longer-term leave from the workplace, encouraging them to review the Ombudsman’s report ‘In the Line of Duty:
Investigation into how the Ontario Provincial Police and the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services have addressed operational stress injuries affecting police officers’. The letter also encourages these members to review the OPP’s quarterly reports to the Ombudsman (available on opp. ca) and reminds them of the continuing supports available to them while on leave through the internal and external Employee Assistance Program services. A number of other initiatives to address this issue were outlined in the OPP’s first two reports to the Ombudsman. Work on this initiative continues. THE EMC - 9 - Thursday, August 1, 2013
ing completion of round-robin play Saturday night. Carp and Manotick went winless while Blues and Napanee Seniors each managed one victory. Barrhaven triumphed over the Seniors 5-4 early Saturday afternoon while the Express edged Kars by the same score in an evening clash. No hitter Friday The highlight of opening night action on Friday was the pitching gem crafted by Micksburg hurler Corey Costello. He threw a no hitter against host Carp, leading the Twins to a 6-0 triumph in their tournament opener. Costello got plenty of run support, mainly via the long ball. Teammate Riley Hennessey blasted a pair of home runs while Joran Graham added a solo shot. Local fans did have a little to cheer about Friday however. Fitzroy rolled over Napanee Junior Express 7-3 thanks to a seven run explosion in the fourth inning. Napanee had been leading 3-0 until the wheels fell off. Andy Barber claimed the mound triumph. In the opening games of the competition, early Friday evening, Stittsville and Kars were winners. The 56ers edged GOFL league rival Manotick 1-0 with Darren Featherstone doing all of the damage. Featherstone was the winning pitcher and he accounted for the game’s only run with a solo homer.
Kars was paced by veteran Dan Jessiman who homered, doubled and drove in five runs. This marked the fourth year the tournament was held at Carp and for a third straight year the weather cooperated. None of the games were delayed despite a few minor showers Sunday. Until 2010 the competition was played 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 tournament’s namesake, the late Gil Read, led three men’s teams to the Canadian championships in 1993, 1995 and again in 1999. He also coached Team Ontario to gold medals at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 Canada Summer Games.

Tay Valley reader in agreement with Hillier’s Hydro One assessment for Ontario Hydro any time soon. US President Obama has been playing the same game south of the border. Solyndra is only the highest-profile of 33 (and counting) failed or failing companies backed by Obama’s “green� initiatives. As Randy Hillier said, “the only way the Liberals could pay for their plan to pick winners, was by most everyone else becoming losers.� Obama’s fiascoes, not to mention our own history (remember Nortel?), show that governments’ ability to pick winners is a joke. Between the beautiful local countryside being pock marked with ugly solar panels, and wind turbines killing half a million birds a year (in the US alone!), it is time for some rational and fact-based discussion of the real costs (financial and environmental) of so-called “green� energy. David Colter Tay Valley
Reader disputes letter writer’s claims DEAR EDITOR The letter to the editor (July 25) from Wolfe Erlichman must surely have been a joke. Everything he said was totally wrong, so it must have been a joke. “Our children will thank us for doing the right thing.� I wonder how pleased they will be.
LETTER From page 8
As far as nuclear power is concerned, significant amounts of money have had to be spent on essential refurbishing of many of our reactor units. In addition, everyone can see the debt-retirement charge on our electricity bills – a monthly reminder of the huge cost overruns still haunting us from the original build-out of our nuclear-power stations. Hence, it is hardly accurate for Mr. Hillier to throw nuclear into the category of “low-cost.� Mr. Hillier is also claiming that we are being “soaked� on our electricity bills by renewable-energy generators, such as wind and solar. Again, the facts are to the contrary. A study by Navigant Consulting Ltd., reported last April in the Toronto Star, showed that the electricity portion of our bills is only about eight cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), which is less than half of the total bill. The rest of the bill is made up of delivery and regulatory charges, plus the debt-retirement charge mentioned above. Even within the electricity
Let’s see. We’re paying something in the order of $9 billion for the green energy program so far. It has connected thousands of mini producers all over the province which have to be connected to the power grid mostly from locations far from and in opposition to the flow from the big producers.
We are also paying 80 cents per KWH when the going rate is six cents a KWH. But, never mind that. During our latest heat wave, the windmills provided .01 per cent of the energy needed. To provide Mr. Erlichman’s utopia of 100 per cent green energy then would cost trillions of dollars.
Assuming that Canada’s population grows to 40 million by the time our thankful descendents will then owe – each and every person – about 225 million. I wonder how pleased they will be.
portion of the bill, Navigant showed that five out of the eight cents was due to a socalled global adjustment and only 17 per cent of that was due to renewables. The bulk of the global adjustment is for nuclear power (42 per cent) and natural-gas fired generation (26 per cent). In short, the global adjustment for renewables – all the hydro, wind, and solar in the province – adds less than one cent to our electricity costs. In contrast, the nuclear refurbishment is costing over two cents per kWh. Again, it seems that Mr. Hillier is twisting the facts. Mr. Hillier also seems to be forgetting the local people in every community in this province who are Hydro One employees. These people are working hard for us, keeping the lights on despite more frequent and more severe storms. Does Mr. Hillier begrudge them an extra cent on the “delivery� side of our electricity bills for all this extra work? From these examples and many other outrageous claims in Mr. Hillier’s letter, it seems
clear that he does not have a good grasp on this important file. While his letter is obsessive about costs, there is no mention of the most important factors for our electricity system, which are safety and reliability of supply. Think of the many disasters and failing infrastructure – in Canada and elsewhere – that we hear about almost daily. Does he not understand the need for regularly upgrading our electricity infrastructure to avoid the meltdowns, explosions, blackouts and spills that are happening elsewhere? It also seems clear that Mr. Hillier is seriously underestimating the constituents in this
riding. Not only is he underestimating our intelligence, he is also underestimating our commitment to a clean and sustainable electricity supply, which can only be achieved through renewables. Thoughtful people understand that you don’t get something for nothing and that quality of life is not measured solely in cents per kWh. Preservation of our clean air and water and what still remains of our natural environment: these things do come with some costs...and they are worth every penny of it.

primarily wind and solar resources. The share associated with renewables has been increasing significantly and is expected to continue to do so.� The end result is exactly as Mr. Hillier explained: market prices for electricity are dropping and Ontario rates are going up and will continue to do so as long as we are signed on to this boondoggle. I agree with Mr. Erlichman that not subsidizing new nuclear facilities is good news. Solar, wind and other “renewable� sources should also not be subsidized. Then we would see the true cost of power generation. The government has a role in regulating, but not controlling energy production, marketing and consumption. As so perfectly illustrated by the former Ontario Hydro, government monopolies are rife with waste, corruption and patronage. Our children and grandchildren will not thank us for the Green Energy Act. I won’t be thanking my parents and grandparents

bers are correct but do not tell the full story. The reason for these increases is government price setting. Hydro One buys most of its energy on contract. Another arm of the Ontario government, Ontario Power Generation (OPG), sets the prices paid to the nuclear facilities managed by (you guessed it!) OPG. What has happened is that market prices have gone down (due mainly to an increased supply of inexpensive nuclear energy!) and OPG increased the regulated price on nuclear-generated electricity. This difference is added to another Ontario government wonder, the global adjustment. This “adjustment� is passed on to Ontario ratepayers. (Please see monitoring report on the IESO-Administered Electricity Markets, May 2011 – October 2011), the latest such report to make comparisons among energy sources.) Quoting the same report, “six per cent [of the global adjustment] is attributable to renewable assets,

The treatment and prevention of diabetes is constantly evolving. At the Canadian Centre for Research on Diabetes, we believe that participating in clinical research is an essential way to help advancements in effective diabetes care.

DEAR EDITOR I wholeheartedly agree with our MPP Randy Hillier’s assessment of Hydro One and the Ontario government’s politically-motivated “Green Energy Act� (letter to the editor – July 18. This debacle has, and will continue to, cost the ratepayers of Ontario. There’s no way around it; Hydro One is paying exorbitant subsidies (more than 80 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) in some cases) to “renewable� energy producers. This electricity is, in turn, being sold for less than a dime per kWh. The surplus electricity – and there is plenty – is being sold to other jurisdictions for even less. The July 26 letter from Wolfe Erlichman is a mix of misinformation and wishful thinking. Allow me to start with his statement that nuclear power is responsible for 40 per cent of the rate increases as opposed to five per cent for so-called “renewable� energy. These num-

REGIONAL NEWS
Counties renews 9-1-1 service with OPP News – The following are highlights of the joint services committee of Leeds and Grenville and the counties council meetings held on July 24 and July 25 respectively. Counties council passed a bylaw to renew a 9-1-1 Public Emergency Reporting Services (PERS) contract with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). The current annual fee for the service, which includes the City of Brockville and the Town of Prescott, is $52,000. The 9-1-1 service cost to the counties is $38,500 annually with Brockville and Prescott being invoiced a total of $13,500. The counties have contracted the OPP for two consecutive three-year terms and fees have not increased over that time, a report to council stated. Counties injecting $400,000 into parkway bike path Counties council has approved a contribution of $400,000 for the second phase of the 1000 Islands Parkway Recreational Trail revitalization project. The contribution will be financed over a two-year period and is subject to another $600,000 being raised for the project’s completion. Work on the path by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission includes widening it to an accessible three metres and resurfacing. Federal and provincial funds of just under $1-million were used to complete 17.4-kilometres of the 36-kilometre path. The second phase will revitalize the remaining 18.6-kilometres of the trail. The total cost to complete the project is $1-million with partnerships forming a
vital funding component. A counties governance and finance committee report noted revitalizing the trail has economic spin-offs with visiting cyclists. It also provides a connection to nature and the waterfront and fulfills gas tax requirements. Trail systems were also identified as a priority in the Counties Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP). Emergency service hours reallocated The joint services committee has authorized Leeds Grenville Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to reallocate service hours between ambulance stations in Spencerville and Brockville to answer growing demand. The Spencerville station’s new hours of operation will be Monday to Friday from noon to 8 p.m. Previously Spencerville station’s hours of operation were from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week. Brockville’s Station 1 will now operate a second vehicle seven days a week from Sunday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. An EMS service delivery review completed last year found a shortfall in ambulance coverage in the Brockville catchment area, which includes the townships of Front of Yonge, Elizabethtown-Kitley and Athens. Ambulance calls in this catchment area rose by four per cent from 2011 to 2012. The reallocation, with a start time to be announced, will assist with the increased volume, will provide support to meet the response time standard and will keep ambulances in their primary area of cover-
Social housing units to be sold The joint services committee instructed staff to apply for consent from the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) to sell six detached family units in the Town of Prescott previously used for social housing. Ministerial consent is required under the Housing Services Act 2011. The homes are located on Roberta Crescent, Victory Road, Boundary Street and Churchill Road. All proceeds from the sale of these homes will be reinvested in the regeneration of public housing in Leeds and Grenville. The service level of the six units will be paused for up to a five-year period to allow Leeds Grenville to meet the increased demand for senior and older-adult housing. Upcoming meetings Committee of the Whole on Sept. 3; joint services committee on Sept. 4 and Sept. 18; and counties council on Sept. 19. The Committee of the Whole structure replaces governance and finance and public works committees and begins in September as a pilot project. All meetings begin at 9 a.m. in the council chambers, 25 Central Avenue West, Brockville, unless otherwise noted. Please note: Delegations are heard at committee meetings. Submitted by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.
Elizabethtown-Kitley cultural mapping project begins News – The Heritage Elizabethtown-Kitley Committee is pleased to announce that it has begun a cultural mapping project of the municipality. Made possible by a provincial grant from the Creative Communities Prosperity Fund (CCPF) and support from the township, the project will help identify and map the community’s cultural assets for the purpose of building community, attracting visitors and encouraging economic opportunities in the area. The funding has enabled the committee to hire Lynne Clifford-Ward for six months to lead the cultural mapping project and they consider it a positive step into the township’s future. Culture can be described as “who we are and what we do.� Cultural mapping is a systematic process of identifying the community’s cultural resources and strengths. A community’s cultural vitality enhances the quality of life and quality of place and is one of
the four pillars of sustainability which includes environmental sustainability, economic prosperity and social equity. Cultural resources can be divided into six different themes, including cultural heritage; natural heritage; community cultural organizations; cultural spaces and facilities; creative cultural industries, and festivals and events. (For a more comprehensive list, please refer to the brochure or online.) Tracy Gayda, chairperson, and the Heritage ElizabethtownKitley Committee, asks the community’s help with this project by answering the fundamental question: what makes your neighbourhood and township a great place to live? Respondents’ information can be provided online, by email, by post and/or by attending workshops. (The time and locations of workshops will be announced soon.) Once the information is gathered, it will be assembled into a cultural inventory, plotted onto

a Township map and made available to the public in early 2014. The Heritage ElizabethtownKitley Committee looks forward to hearing from you and values your contribution to this community building project. This information, once compiled, will help locate and describe the township’s cultural assets and contribute to making ElizabethtownKitley a great place to live and work, now and in the future. The cultural mapping form is available on the township website (www.ElizabethtownKitley.on.ca). Your e-lists can be sent to mail@elizabethtownkitley.on.ca, with “Cultural Map List� as the subject line. Brochures can be picked up at township offices in New Dublin or Toledo, and other public locations. Please mail your completed form to 6544 New Dublin Road, RR 2, Addison, ON K0E 1AO and mark “Cultural Map List�. Submitted by the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley.

A Musical
a n n a y l l o
Script, Music & Lyrics by A.J. Harbison and Wayne Robert Scott Directed by Lynda Daniluk
Pollyanna’s cold and demanding Aunt Polly is not used to the kind of misadventures that Pollyanna gets into -- including her odd way of befriending total strangers with her infectious smile. Even when faced with adversity, Pollyannna has a secret weapon: a special legacy left to her by her father. Soon the entire town is playing an unusual game that Pollyanna lives by. Inspired by the classic best selling 1913 novel by Eleanor Porter, this musical features rag time tunes and a patriotic medley, taking audiences back to this charming period in America’s history.

Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decline should be put into perspective culminated in the embarrassment of bankruptcy. Not all is lost however. This week Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m adding my voice to the few in the media who have come to the defence of what was once among the richest, most successful cities on the continent. My wife Kathleen and I both have family in Michigan, including in Detroit. We know the city well. I have a cousin who lives in an old neighbourhood, north of downtown. Gary Hardy readily admits his is one of the few white faces on the street. But he gets along with his black neighbours, he staunchly defends his hometown and he refuses to buckle under and join the race to the suburbs. Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Uncle Jack, immigrated to Canada from England just before World War I. In the late 1920s he joined the rush of people who flooded into Detroit to take advantage of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prosperity, built on the success of the automobile industry and in particular Henry Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous Model T. Uncle Jack worked at Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive River Rouge plant, then the largest factory complex in the world. He married a Windsor (Ontario) girl. Detroit and Windsor are twin cities. In fact Windsor has the distinction of being the only major Canadian city that lies south of the United States. Good times Jack Hardy became an American citizen. He served in the United States Army during the Second World War. After the war Detroit enjoyed more affluence as the auto industry boomed right into the 1950s and beyond. Tens of thousands of blacks migrated north to what was known world-wide as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Motor City,â&#x20AC;? seeking jobs on the assembly lines and a better life. Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population
Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE
peaked at nearly two million. The community once had the highest rate of home ownership of any American city. In 1959 Berry Gordy Jr. founded Motown Records. Detroit became the home of the famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motown Soundâ&#x20AC;? created by artists such as the Miracles, Diana Ross and the Supremes, the Four Tops and yes, the Jackson Five! The name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motownâ&#x20AC;? threatened to topple the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s familiar Motor City moniker. It was in part the decline of the automobile industry that ultimately led to the point Detroit reached two weeks ago. The car companies shifted operations to the suburbs or, in an effort to escape the influence of Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful unions, moved operations to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunbelt states or overseas. Then came the dominance of Japanese imports and the rise of other manufacturers worldwide. Still, Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plunge to despair canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be blamed on the loss of the auto industry or Motownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shift to California. Poor race relations, culminating in the deadly and destructive riots in the summer of 1967 along with a string of questionable local governments (and individual politicians) simply exacerbated the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Flightâ&#x20AC;? and hastened the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decline. In the 1970s Detroit was best known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Murder Capital of the USâ&#x20AC;? a stigma it continues to carry along with many other big cities including Chicago and Miami. In the 1980s it also became the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arson Capitalâ&#x20AC;? of the country. Deliberately
set fires continue to plague Detroit. My late maternal grandmother, who lived in nearby Chatham, Ontario (Chatham is the hometown of both my wife and mother) started taking me to Detroit when I was a youngster. My summer visits to the once famous Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department store, on downtown Woodward Avenue, were magical experiences for me. As an adult Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made countless visits to the Motor City, mainly to watch my beloved Detroit Tigers play baseball at venerable Tiger Stadium or the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new home, Comerica Park. In this area when people talk about Detroit itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually out of fear or pity. Most are terrified of the place, even though they may have simply passed through or never been there at all. Reputation is everything!
Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the least bit fearful of Detroit. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a problem there, ever! That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean I frequent the worst urban neighbourhoods. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set myself up for trouble by visiting certain districts. I take the same precautions in any large city we visit. Despite the abandoned buildings, empty lots, burned out streetlights and discarded junk, which news stories on Detroit inevitably feature, the city has many desirable areas. The Renaissance Center complex, seven interconnecting skyscrapers which includes General Motors world headquarters, is a sparkling jewel downtown. Three major sports teams, the Tigers, the NHL Red Wings and the NFL Lions call downtown Detroit home. Comerica Park and Ford Field, the domed stadium where the Lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play football, share the same parking lots. Across from the new stadiums is the historic Fox Theatre, a restored venue at the heart of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performing arts scene. Greektown, a vibrant commercial, entertainment and restaurant district is close by.
Although numbers in the city proper have declined, metropolitan Detroit with a population of 4.3 million ranked 12th among American cities in 2010. There is still much to recommend the region. Perhaps bankruptcy will be the catalyst for a revitalization which will raise Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock? Forging a new identity helped save other American industrial centres, Pittsburgh for example. Replacing decaying lots with luxury condominiums and parks and demolishing empty factory buildings to allow for commercial and retail space has rejuvenated several US centres. An increase in the population downtown could lead to all kinds of good things and an increased tax base might even return Detroit to her former glory. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tall order, but I am hopeful. The only place for Detroit to go is up! Closing note: In answer to the question I posed in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official summer sport is lacrosse. If you have any comments or questions for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers. com.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As much as I would like to there is no denying the depth of Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decline. On July 18, staggering under the weight of as much as $20 billion in unpaid debt, the city surrendered. Officials filed the single, largest bankruptcy in American history. Newspaper writers and commentators list a number of reasons for a plunge which has now seen Detroit hit rock bottom. The reason for the bankruptcy is basic. A huge decline in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial base, once keyed by the automobile and music industries, along with the flight of Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s white population to safer suburban communities means the city does not have the tax base necessary to meet its financial obligations. Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black citizens have traditionally supported the Democratic Party. Detroit, with a black population of 83 per cent, is no exception. But it was Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republican Governor Rick Snyder who ultimately pushed control of Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial mess into the hands of an emergency manager. The hope is that when the dust settles the city will be able to brush itself off and move forward. With significant employee pension issues involved that seems a long shot? Without a major revitalization, a dramatic program to make the downtown more livable, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see recovery in the near future. People make city centres viable. That means boosting the population of Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner city is vital. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all heard the depressing statistics and seen the photo and video evidence. Tens of thousands of abandoned buildings, animals roaming at large in vacant lots, a huge breakdown of Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure, an alarming crime rate and the associated decline in the population. Ultimately it has

Windsor-built 1949 Ford now resides in Nova Scotia Lifestyle – The 1949 Ford was a new post-war car from the Ford Motor Company introduced in June 1948. It created an immediate sensation with its modern styling, independent front suspension, and parallel leaf rear springs. Over a million were built. Scott and Maryann Ritcey of Porters Lake, Nova Scotia, own a 1949 Ford Tudor sedan built in Windsor, Ontario, with Canadian serial number 0470H49-76324. Scott writes: “The car was purchased in 1980 at the Barrie swap meet in Ontario by a
friend of my dad’s and carried Ontario Historic Vehicle plate HVF.102. The vendor reportedly bought it from the estate of the original owner. “It came to Nova Scotia and we stored it winters in our garage. It went through a few more owners in the Maritimes until I saw it advertised and bought it from a man in North Sydney in 2009. The trip took over six hours each way and we took a U-Haul trailer and lots of hundred dollar bills. It was the first big road trip with our twin boys, Camaron and
Carter, who were only a yearand-a-half old.” Scott tracked down and talked to all the owners in the Maritimes since 1980 but also would like to contact the previous owners in Ontario. He contacted the MTO and received this reply: “The data you are requesting is not
available. Prior to 1984, all vehicle records were in paper and stored in boxes. When the computerized system was put in place, only active vehicles were moved over.” Scott continues: “The car is light green (originally Arabian Green, according to my Ford/Meteor parts manual) with only one repaint in 1994.
The odometer shows almost 75,000 miles and I believe that is original. She’s a solid car that runs and drives as it should. Original paint is on the interior, firewall, door jambs and sills. The seat covers and headliner have been replaced, along with a lot of chrome and stainless repaired or replaced. The drive train is the original 239 cubic inch flathead V8 with column-shift three-speed manual transmission. Brakes are original, unassisted, fourwheel drum, and other than dual exhausts, the car is original underneath.
“Our boys, now five, love riding in the ‘hot rod’ as they are up high and can see everything. And I am like a kid in a candy store, Bill, waiting to see the story of our old Ford in print.” I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Thirsty days, thirsty cars: How to tell if your car is getting good fuel mileage Lifestyle – When travel season is peppered with a gas price increase or two, it’s no wonder more drivers don’t experience a matching spike in blood-pressure. These conditions tend to cause another spike: an increase in trips to the shop to see if the chariot hasn’t picked up a virus or some other malady leading to a case of gaseous guzzlyitis. Here’s a few ways to see
if your vehicle is delivering the appropriate fuel mileage without inconvenience. 1) Test it right. No matter how much gadgetry your instrument panel has, or what super-apps you’ve downloaded onto your smartphone, there is only one way to corBRIAN TURNER rectly calculate your vehicle’s fuel mileage. Fill it up, (stopping at the first click of trip odometer to zero, drive of fuel, refill, check the disthe pump nozzle), reset your as far as possible on that tank tance travelled and do the math. On-board mileage displays rely on too many variable and inaccurately measured parameters to equal the accuracy of the tank-to-tank test. If possible complete a mostly highway driving test for comparison against your daily mix of urban and higher speed commute. 2) Get the right ratings’ guide. NRCan has admitted that their current test isn’t as good as that used by the U.S. EPA. That’s why we’re realigning our tests to more closely align with the U.S method starting with the 2013 model year. If you log onto www.nrcan.gc.ca and click on the ‘fuel efficiency’ link you can find the ratings for your particular vehicle. Then take a web-stroll over to the US counterpart at www.fueleconomy.gov and find their ratings. Remember, the US posts in ‘miles per US gallon’, so you’ll have to add
Car Counsellor
20 per cent to get a ‘milesper-imperial-gallon rating, or bring up your favourite metric conversion calculator website to see some interesting comparisons. The EPA added a coldweather mode, an extreme and aggressive acceleration mode, and an air-conditioning load mode to their tests. Their ratings are almost always worse than ours, sometimes up to 20 per cent. It will be interesting to see if next year’s NRCan guide is any closer. 3) Improve your mileage on your own. Some of the best ways to improve fuel mileage either don’t cost a cent or involve relatively little money. Correct tire pressures, clean air filters, sub-120 kph speeds, smooth take-offs, anticipated stops, well-maintained vehicles, and empty trunks or cargo areas can all drastically increase fuel economy. 4) If it ain’t broke, no one’s likely to able to fix it. If your vehicle hasn’t got a check engine light on, or a noticeable driveability problem like hesitation, stalling, or misfire, there’s likely nothing to be mechanically/electronically repaired, tweaked, or reprogrammed to improve your fuel mileage. And as for mileage performance computer chips; they’re illegal,
and will void any engine or emission warranty still left on your auto, not to mention risking substantial emission regulation fines. The rest of the trinkets on the parts store shelf with advertisements bragging to deliver increased fuel economy are just so much hot air, so save your money. On Sunday, Aug. 4 the famous Automotion Car Show returns to the Blockhouse Island in Brockville from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Check the website (www.tisma.ca) for more details. And on the same day the Chelrod Car Club Show ‘n’ Shine parks at St. Stephen’s Parish in Chelsea (QC) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, (By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

Jackman shines again in latest Wolverine film My Take MARK HASKINS
His wounds arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t healing. He still manages to save Mariko, but Logan needs to find out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going on if he and Mariko are going to survive. The Wolverine does everything right. It is full of action and violence with just a hint of romance and sadness, and a few sparsely but well placed one-liners. Mangold does a brilliant job of bringing the comic book action to life in larger-thanlife sequences that are only possible in a world with superheroes. He also balances the action with a story that truly highlights this often times tragic hero. This film really captures what this character is about. No one else is ever going to be able to take on this role. Hugh Jackman has made Wolverine all his own. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nailed the look, the delivery, the swagger, and the penchant for violence. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also nailed the sadness, the grief and the nobility. While I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very familiar with most of the cast I was impressed by them. Tao Okamoto falls into the role of Mariko with extreme grace. Rila Fukushima is perfect as Loganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sidekick Yukio. Viper Svetlana Khodchenkova exudes both venom and evil. Hal Yamanouchi is fantastic as Yashida. Of course the big treat for me was seeing Famke Jannsen return as Jean Grey. It may have only been in Loganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreams, but she was still great. The Wolverine is awesome. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nuff said. Mark Haskinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; column is a regular feature of the EMC.
Slow down, move over: OPP EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Lanark County Detachment of The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) wishes to remind drivers that emergency responders regularly face dangerous and difficult situations as they go about their daily duties serving and protecting our communities. Drivers must remember when passing a stopped emergency vehicle with its emergency lights activated, in the same direction of travel, either in a lane or on the shoulder of a road or highway, to slow down and pass with caution. If the road has two or more lanes you MUST move over into another lane, if it can be done in safety. Sections 159(2) and 159(3) of the Ontario Highway Traffic Act require all motorists approaching a stopped emergency vehicle to slow down and pass with caution. Drivers who fail to comply with this law are subject to the following penalties under the Highway Traffic Act. First offence: $400 to $2,000 fine plus three demerit points. Second offence (within five years): $1,000 to $4,000 fine plus possible jail time up to six months and a possible suspension of their drivers licence for up to two years.

MOVIE: The Wolverine STARRING: Hugh Jackman, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Famke Janssen and Hal Yamanouchi DIRECTOR: James Mangold RATING: PG EMC Entertainment The Wolverine is exactly how you do a movie about Wolverine. Exactly. After being forced to kill Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) Logan (Hugh Jackman) has gone into seclusion. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turned away from the world vowing to never hurt anyone again. Then again, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if you turn away from the world because the world sometimes comes looking for you. Loganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past comes for him in the form of a young woman named Yukio (Rila Fukushima). She has come on behalf of her adoptive grandfather, Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi), whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dying and wishes to say goodbye to the man who once saved him. Somewhat reluctantly Logan agrees to fly to Japan and meet with the old man. During World War II Logan was a prisoner just outside Nagasaki when events led to him saving a young Japanese officer just as the bomb was dropped. Now Yashida wants to repay Logan by giving him the one thing he thinks Logan wants; his mortality. Yashida wants to transfer Loganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing healing ability into himself thus extending his own life and allowing Logan to live a normal one. Logan turns down Yashidaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offer, but it appears not to matter as the old man passes soon after, and Logan prepares to go home. Then at the funeral the Yakuza make an attempt to kill Yashidaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s granddaughter, Mariko (Tao Okamoto), and Logan is right in the thick of it again. Logan jumps into the fray, but something isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right.

Thousands to benefit from court ruling News – The Designated Physiotherapy Clinics Association (DPCA) said thousands of Ontario seniors will benefit from a July 26 ruling by the Ontario Divisional Court that will suspend the Ontario government’s plan to delist and significantly cut funding for OHIP physiotherapy on Aug. 1. “This is a victory for the thousands of Ontario seniors who depend on OHIP-funded physiotherapy for their mobility, their independence and their well-being,” said DPCA executive director Tony Melles, which provides OHIP-funded physiotherapy. “During the proceedings, it became clear from the government’s own testimony that the government deliberately neglected to meet its responsibility – and its own process – in failing to provide us with the required minimum 45 days notice that it was drastically cutting funding.” In his ruling, Justice Thomas Lederer referred the matter to a three-judge panel, which on Aug. 21 will consider an application for a judicial review from DPCA on stopping the cuts altogether. The province’s 91 designated physiotherapy clinics can continue to provide OHIP physiotherapy to their patients. “This has been a stressful, difficult situation for thousands of seniors, patients, their families and dedicated physiotherapy workers,” said Melles. “There was absolutely no consultation prior to the government’s decision, although court documents show that plans had been underway for the past 12 months to delist physiotherapy from the OHIP schedule of benefits. Health Minister Deb Matthews met with us on March 28 of this year, and gave no indication that significant funding and regulatory changes were coming. On April 18, she made her announcement.” Melles pointed out that in its testimony, the government acknowledged that it spent $200-million on physiotherapy in the 12 months ended March 31, 2013, and was budgeting only $156-million for the current year. The Minister continues to portray the new funding level as an “increase.” The Justice’s decision is being celebrated by physiotherapists and physiotherapy assistants across the province. More than 3,000 Ontario physiotherapy workers – including 1,000 physiotherapists – were set to lose their jobs this week, as a result of the government’s cuts. More than 35,000 Ontario seniors living in retirement homes, supportive housing, and their own homes, had already been notified that their physiotherapists would not be able to treat them after Aug. 1. Now, they’ll receive care at least until Aug. 21. Submitted by Designated Physiotherapy Clinics Association.
Practise safe boating this holiday weekend News – Drinking and boating accounts for approximately 40 per cent of boating-related fatalities on Canadian waterways. To raise awareness and reduce alcohol related deaths, the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is launching Operation Dry Water, an initiative to discourage this dangerous practice. With the summer boating season in high gear, the Aug. 3 long weekend is the perfect time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of drinking and boating. Combined with sun, wind, waves and the rocking motion of the boat, the effects of alcohol on the water can be greatly increased. Operation Dry Water will focus on the potential risks of drinking and boating, and remedies that are currently in place to discourage it. Operation Dry Water is aimed at reducing the number of alcohol-related accidents and fatalities on the water while fostering a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol use while boating. The end goal? To achieve safer and more enjoyable recreational boating. For a 30-second public service announcement and additional information on boating safety, please visit www.csbc. ca.

Forestry plays key role for all parties in proposed Algonquin settlement in partnership with Ontario and our neighbours to foster a sustainable forestry industry built on a foundation of economic prosperity, conservation and stewardship. This column is the fifth in a
By ROBERT POTTS
Lifestyle – The following is part of a series, provided by the Algonquins of Ontario. Forested areas have been integral to the Algonquin way of life since time immemorial. The proposed forestry chapter of the preliminary draft Agreement-in-Principle (AIP) recognizes the importance of the forest industry in the Algonquin Settlement Area to both the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) and their neighbours. The cornerstone of this chapter is the commitment by the AOO and Ontario to work cooperatively to maintain support for the existing forest industry, while increasing Algonquin participation in, and benefits from the forestry sector. This commitment reflects the importance of forestry to the culture, economic stability and prosperity of the AOO. Through several proposed initiatives and collaborative partnerships, the preliminary draft AIP carves out more meaningful participation for the AOO within the forest industry. A number of proposed elements to be reflected in a final agreement are highlighted below. Economic development and training opportunities Key to the forestry chapter is the development of economic opportunities and supporting measures to increase Algonquin employment and participation in the forest industry throughout the settlement area, including in Algonquin Park. These initiatives include: • otifying the AOO of government contracts and job
of the preliminary draft AIP. For more information visit www. tanakiwin.com. Robert Potts is Principal Negotiator and Senior Legal Counsel for the Algonquins of Ontario.
Robert Potts opportunities related to forestry in Algonquin Park, • encouraging potential Algonquin employment, training and contract opportunities with Sustainable Forest License (SFL) holders, • the consideration of the potential for Algonquin benefits as a relevant factor when Ontario is evaluating tender bids or other government contracting procedures, • the provision of training opportunities by Ontario and the Algonquin Forestry Authority for the AOO in the forestry industry in Algonquin Park, including silviculture. Forestry management and planning A final agreement will also set out the nature and scope of Algonquin participation in forestry management and planning, including representation on planning teams, both inside and outside of Algonquin
Park. In addition, Ontario will appoint at a minimum one person nominated by the AOO to the board of directors of the Algonquin Forestry Authority for Algonquin Park. Ontario continues its commitment to consultation with the AOO on any new forestry policy initiatives within the settlement area, including the forestry tenure and pricing review. Moving forward The AOO, Ontario and representatives for SFLs located within the Algonquin Settlement Area have already begun working together to address forestry matters related to the Algonquin treaty negotiations as well as to collaboratively develop economic opportunities to enhance the competitiveness of the region. As we move forward towards a historic modern-day treaty, the AOO are committed to working

Alcohol, boating make deadly combination Lifestyle – Ahh, boating! Skimming over the water with the wind in your hair. What a great way to spend a summer afternoon, especially with family and friends. A carefree atmosphere like this is just made to have fun and party. However, this partying should never include drinking alcohol. Mixing alcohol and boating can have tragic consequences. When the Canadian Safe Boating Council and SmartBoater. ca speak to Canadian boaters each year, there is no gentle way to say it. Being impaired while operating a boat can cost you thousands of dollars, or worse, turn a fun day into a deadly outing! Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold. That means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge can, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges, but it can get worse. Some provinces have enacted additional legislation to curb the practice of drinking and boating.
series providing insights into Algonquin history, the foundation for the land claim, elements of the preliminary draft AIP and next steps in the journey. The next column will focus on the heritage and culture component
In Ontario for example, Bill 209 amended the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel.” As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, face an on-the-spot drivers’ license suspension. That’s right! You can lose your automobile driver’s licence and should your blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied. If that’s not a sufficient deterrent, add the financial impact of court and legal fees, alternative transportation for the year (i.e. taxi, bus, train, etc.) and potential loss of employment if driving is an essential component of your job. But many impaired boaters are not stopped before something even worse happens. The Canadian Safe Boating Council completed a survey that identified in nearly 40 per cent of boating related deaths alcohol was a factor and 23 per cent of the cases involved alcohol above the legal limit. What increases the effects of alcohol while boating are sunshine and a boat’s natural rocking motion that can turn a simple ride into a dangerous
dunking. It only takes a large wake or wave, a quick change in the boat’s direction, or a ‘tippy canoe’ to result in someone falling overboard with tragic consequences. Navigating a boat takes coordination and your full concentration. Your decision making skills and ability to react suddenly to changes in condition and surroundings is compromised by alcohol. Your reaction time slows, your vision and judgement are affected and you are more willing to be reckless and take risks. Psychologists know that human nature has a way of rationalizing. “It can’t possibly happen to me” is often the thought. Whether that means “I’ll never be caught,” or “I’ll never be killed,” doesn’t matter. Neither of those things will happen if boaters stick to just boating on the water. Afterward, you can have a few drinks on shore and then stay put. It’s that simple – if you drink, don’t drive your boat.

Seniors, physiotherapy workers celebrate court’s decision to suspend cutbacks News – The Designated Physiotherapy Clinics Association (DPCA) said thousands of Ontario seniors will benefit from a July 26 ruling by the Ontario Divisional Court that will suspend the Ontario government’s plan to delist and significantly cut funding for OHIP physiotherapy on Aug. 1. “This is a victory for the thousands of Ontario seniors who depend on OHIP-funded physiotherapy for their mobility, their independence and their well-being,” said DPCA executive director Tony Melles, which provides OHIP-funded physiotherapy. “During the proceedings, it became clear from the government’s own testimony that the government deliberately neglected to meet its responsibility – and its own process – in failing to provide us with the required minimum 45 days notice that it was drastically cutting funding.” In his ruling, Justice Thomas Lederer referred the matter to a three-judge panel, which on Aug. 21 will consider an application for a judicial review from DPCA on stopping the cuts altogether. The province’s 91 designated physiotherapy clinics can continue to provide OHIP physiotherapy to their patients. “This has been a stressful, difficult situation for thousands of seniors, patients, their families and dedicated physiotherapy workers,” said Melles. “There was absolutely no consultation prior to the government’s decision, although court documents show that plans had been underway for the past 12 months to delist physiotherapy from the OHIP schedule of benefits. Health Minister Deb Matthews met with us on March 28 of this year, and gave no indi-
cation that significant funding and regulatory changes were coming. On April 18, she made her announcement.” Melles pointed out that in its testimony, the government acknowledged that it spent $200-million on physiotherapy in the 12 months ended March 31, 2013, and was budgeting only $156-million for the current year. The Minister continues to portray the new funding level as an “increase.” The Justice’s decision is being celebrated by physiotherapists and physiotherapy assistants across the province. More than 3,000 Ontario physiotherapy workers – including 1,000 physiotherapists – were set to lose their jobs this week, as a result of the government’s cuts. More than 35,000 Ontario seniors living in retirement homes, supportive housing, and their own homes, had already been notified that their physiotherapists would not be able to treat them after Aug. 1. Now, they’ll receive care at least until Aug. 21. About designated physiotherapy clinics (DPCs) The province’s OHIP-funded designated physiotherapy clinics (DPCs) have provided high-quality, low-cost care to more than 150,000 Ontario seniors, children, social assistance recipients and disabled persons each year in community clinics, long-term care homes and retirement residences for almost 50 years. DPC physiotherapists provide high-quality, safe and effective treatment on a fee-for-service basis in Ontario for only $12.20 per treatment.

News – West Nile virus has been confirmed in mosquitoes found in Perth. Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit confirmed Monday that a pool of mosquitoes in one of its traps in Perth has tested positive for this disease that can spread to humans if bitten by an infected insect. West Nile can cause flu-like symptoms and can ultimately lead to death in persons typically over 50 years of age, who may have a compromised immune system. However, no positive human cases have been found this year, said Kim McCann, senior public health inspector, community health protection with the health unit. “There have been confirmed human cases in the past, not specifically in Perth, but in the health unit’s coverage area.” The health unit collects and tests mosquitoes it traps from various sites around Lanark, Leeds and Grenville during the summer months, between June and September. McCann says that this year is the first since 2003, that positive mosquitoes have been captured in one of their traps. “Several other municipalities in Ontario have also detected the presence of WNv in their mosquito population this summer. The LGLDHU will increase mosquito monitoring and testing in the Perth area over the next few weeks,” says McCann. This region is home to several different types of mosquitoes. The mosquito responsible for spreading the West Nile virus is commonly known as a container mosquito, she says. “It lives in warm, organic, sheltered standing water and it tends to feed primarily between dusk and dawn, and prefers to
feed on birds, but occasionally will feed on humans.” The best bet to keep the mosquito population from thriving on your property, is to clean regularly, areas where the insects are known to breed, such as in standing pools of water, old tires or areas where garbage may accumulate. The health unit also advises to apply mosquito repellents to exposed skin sparingly – an effective repellent contains 20 to 30 per cent DEET. Products with more than that level of DEET may cause side effects, particularly in children. For kids, use a repellent with between six and 10 per cent DEET. And for children under the age of two years, it’s recommended that they not be exposed to repellent at all. If you need to be outside after dusk, it’s recommended that long-sleeved clothing, pants with socks and shoes be worn to deter the effects of being bitten by infected mosquitoes. McCann says that the health unit has investigated a few sporadic cases of West Nile virus among residents over the last few years. “Most people will have no symptoms,” she says of people who have the virus. “Some develop mild flu-like illness with fever, headache and body aches, and occasionally have a mild rash or swollen lymph glands.” People who think they have West Nile virus infection should contact their health care provider. Animals like birds and horses are more susceptible to the West Nile virus and local veterinarian, Dr. Sarah Logan at the Perth Veterinary Clinic says to vaccinate horses against the disease. “Dogs and cats are not susceptible to West Nile,” she says, “but it’s wise to vaccinate horses against the disease.”

Perth’s town crier hits Kingston for world championship competition
“Selling Perth is really so simple. Almost everyone has heard of Perth.” BRENT MCLAREN TOWN CRIER
How they carry themselves, how they ring their bells, how they cry – it will all be judged. “We have to submit our cries to them and mine are all written. I’m constantly practicing them,” he says. “You have to have between 100 and 125 words. They give us topics, so the first one is that I have to sell Perth… that’s an easy sell. The second one is on Sir John A. Macdonald, and the third cry is ‘Why Kingston is not Canada’s capital.’” The judges will be listening for such
things as an added word, a missed word, if the voice cracks or is louder than it should be, or drops… “they’re judging every aspect of the cry from the moment you walk on (stage) to the moment you walk off.” It comes down to selling his community. “It’s an easy community to sell,” he says of Perth. “Selling Perth is really so simple. Almost everyone has heard of Perth.” Part of his Perth cry for this competition will be sharing that Perth is the wedding capital of eastern Ontario. “It’s a huge industry of this community. It’s hard to fathom how wide-ranging bringing in all these weddings is for this town. So I’m pushing this in a humourous sort of way how we’re the wedding capital of eastern Ontario.” Throughout his time in Kingston, he will be handing out bookmarks, pins, pamphlets, and postcards to entice people to visit Perth. Throughout the year, he and his wife, Shelley, do about 90 events. Some are birthday or anniversary events, but other times he’s at a bigger events representing the town. Perth’s Mayor John Fenik says he wishes McLaren the best of luck this weekend, on behalf of town council and the residents. “He’s a great asset and I’m proud that he’s competing at the world championships,” said Fenik. He does an amazing job at being the face of Perth.
We wish him the best of luck.” IN TRAINING McLaren has spent about 20 or more years doing musical theatre and performing and recitals. He trained as a singer at Queen’s University. Theatre is probably one of the furthest from McLaren’s thoughts right now as his life is keeping him busy, especially now that he’s the deacon at the St. Francis Roman Catholic Church, in Smiths Falls. “That will keep you very busy,” he says. It took five years of study, and McLaren says he was ordained two years ago. How did he make the leap of being a trained singer to becoming a deacon? “You sing in the church,” he says. “From a young boy, I came through the church music programs. So much of my early life was (spent) singing in church choirs, solos, and all of that work.” After he married, he became a music director at a church outside Almonte. Does he deliver the Sunday sermon with the same flair as he would a town cry? “I deliver the sermon with whatever flair is necessary. Sometimes, it’s as a town crier, sometimes it’s Santevia from Fiddler on the Roof. When you speak from the heart, or when you speak to motivate people, you have to use what you have to use.” People wonder if he carries his theatre
Child’s rescue from Tay Canal has happy ending From front page
“It turned out the best possible way it could have happened,” agreed Davidson. While Davidson was feeling somewhat stressed about the incident, her son remained stoic. “He was fine,” she said. “He didn’t cry. I cried. My chest really hurt with the adrenalin. He said he wanted to go home.”
The incident did not scare LeBlanc off of swimming however – that very evening, he was back swimming at his grandparents’ pool. But, in time, despite his best efforts to hide it, Jack did have a bit of a meltdown the next day. “He had the smallest little cut on his hand and he just lost it,” said Davidson. “We are not invincible.” Though LeBlanc now lives in Almonte with his new wife, with whom he is
expecting another child, he gives his ex a lot of credit. “For her to do that in the current… she’s a hero,” he said. “She did an amazing job.” LeBlanc is advising other parents to keep a close eye on their children near the water’s edge, especially in light of the recent heavy rains the area has seen. “Keep a closer eye because you never know,” said LeBlanc.

training into the church, but McLaren says it’s the opposite. “I probably carry more of my church training into the theatre,” he says. “The audience isn’t going anywhere on Sunday. They’re there because they want to be there. It’s very different.” He still does a lot of singing because

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 45-year-old Sharbot Lake area man has died in hospital after being shot by police last week at his home at Crotch Lake. The Special Investigations Unit stated in a press release early Monday afternoon, that during the interaction between OPP officers and a male at the residence, police firearms were discharged and the man was struck multiple times. He underwent surgery for his injuries at Kingston General Hospital, but died yesterday at 7:48 p.m. Sharbot Lake OPP stated that officers from its detachment attended to a call for service at a residence around 5 p.m. July 25, on Arden Road in Kennebec Township. When officers arrived, they were confronted by an armed male. Shots were fired. The male was taken to Kingston General Hospital where he died Sunday night. The SIU has assigned five investigators and two forensic investigators to probe the circumstances of this incident. At this time the SIU has designated two subject officers and six witness officers in relation to this incident. Anyone who may have information regarding this case is asked to contact the lead investigator at 416-622-1935 or 1-800-787-8529, ext. 1935.

has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault. Under the Police Services Act, the Director of the SIU must consider whether an officer has committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident under investigation depending on the evidence, lay a criminal charge against the officer if appropriate or close the file without any charges being laid report the results of any investigations to the Attorney General.

Perth CIBC celebrates half century with prudent party By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

R0012239438_0801
Business – The CIBC branch in Perth will be celebrating its 50th anniversary later this month. The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce opened its doors on Gore Street in the downtown core back on Aug. 19, 1963. “It used to be right across from the apothecary,” at Herriott and Gore, recalled current branch manager Cathy McGlade during an interview at her Highway 7 office on Friday, July 26. “It’s now Lavender and Lace,” though when the bank moved location, another financial institution, the Standard Trust, moved in. “My understanding is that the town came to Perth because of the Silversmiths factory,” said McGlade. “The bank had that account.” More than two decades ago, the bank moved to its current location in the Perth Mews. “It took a lot of nerve for the branch manager of the time to pack up and move out here, when all of the other branches were downtown,” said McGlade. But, aside from convenience to the highway, and the prospect of residential development on the north side in years to come, there were other, more practical, reasons for wanting to leave downtown. “It had a basement that flooded every spring,” said McGlade, who has worked for CIBC, at the same branch, for 34 years. “You had to make sure that all of the records were up off of the floor.” While any move is stressful, this one, with literally a huge hoard of cash to be physically transferred, made moving day especially noteworthy. “Moving day was very exciting,” said McGlade. “We had security and police officers with sawed-off shotguns guarding the vault, as it was loaded onto the flat bed truck.” During the move, time was also of the essence – the bank closed its old doors at 6 p.m. on Friday, and had to be ready for the first customers on Monday morning, at the new location, while staff were “pretending you knew where everything was,” said McGlade. Amongst the many changes she has seen over the years has been the rise of women, including herself, to higher management positions within the financial field.
“The male side of it would have been the boss side of it (back then),” said McGlade. Now, however, “it’s 100 per cent female now.” Technology has changed how she first did her job. “When I first started at the branch, we looked at every cheque that people wrote,” said McGlade, to make sure that they weren’t stale dated, though she just missed having to make manual calculations in ledgers. “It went from very hands-on to now being done by machine.” The introduction of automated teller machines (ATMs) also showed her an interesting, caring, if misinformed, side of her customers. “It wasn’t until we came here that we got bank machines set up to use,” she said. “For a while, they (customers) were hesitant (to use them) because they felt it would cost the job of a teller. People would say, ‘No, I don’t want to cost you your job.’” Even now with some people only wanting to use virtual banking, when the virtual world comes crashing down, as it does sometimes, “bricks and mortar are still important,” she said with a smile, since customers still have somewhere, Photo by DESMOND DEVOY and someone, they can call upon for The CIBC branch at the Perth Mews off of Highway 7 will be celebrating its 50th anniversary on Aug. 19. help. McGlade was born in Perth, and attended both St. John Catholic High School and Perth and District Collegiate LANARK COUNTY Institute. After graduation, she went straight to working for the bank. She said she still loves working in her home town since, among other things, “it TRIMMING PRUNING REMOVAL PLANTING allowed me the time to walk to work and not have a second car.

The branch’s ongoing book drive is also popular with customers. “People come in to drop books, drop books, drop books,” she said excitedly, BUILT FOR LIFE.™ making the dropping motion. “And we just sell them, sell them, sell them.” The 50th anniversary celebrations will take place at the branch from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and include balloons and birthday cake.

Historic family-owned downtown business founded in 1973 desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One of downtown Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-known businesses, The Mill Store, will be closing its doors forever this September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a family business for 40 years (and) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here 38 anda-half years and it was time to retire,â&#x20AC;? said owner Harry R. Hale during an interview in his office on Thursday, July 25, shortly after a bright red sign was posted in the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foster Street window alerting customers that the business was to be wound up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on this for six months.â&#x20AC;? Hale had tried to keep the store going without him, but to no avail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did have it up for sale (but) there was no interest,â&#x20AC;? said Hale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a timeline that if there was no interest shown, I would proceed to shut down.â&#x20AC;? While the store is located in an historic downtown property, at a busy intersection with a lot of foot traffic, there were also aspects such as it being a big store with a lot of inventory that worked against it being sold. While the business was not in dire financial straits, the changing economic climate has been felt at his store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The economics have changed over the years,â&#x20AC;? admitted Hale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly there is more competition from the big stores, and in my particular case, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost a lot of good Canadian suppliers,â&#x20AC;? who have gone out of business. His two sons were also not interested in taking over the family business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it,â&#x20AC;? he said of his two grown sons, who now have lives of their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit with what they wanted.â&#x20AC;? The phone in Haleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has been ringing constantly, with orders taking a spike as the news spreads. His customers have also been coming to terms with the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly (they are) disappointed to see the store going,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of them are wondering where they will do their shopping for the merchandise we carried in the store.â&#x20AC;? While customers may wonder where they can get their wool from now on,
many have been sympathetic to Haleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predicament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known a lot of people for many years and they are happy for me,â&#x20AC;? said Hale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is bittersweet.â&#x20AC;? But wool and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashions were not the only things on sale. Perth and Canada tourism items, as well as menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashions, like golf wear, were on display, as were items of our national pastime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got into hockey (at the store) six or seven years ago,â&#x20AC;? said Hale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We brought it inâ&#x20AC;Śyou have to diversify.â&#x20AC;? He also pointed out that while they certainly carried the Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Montreal Canadiens, they also stocked Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins material. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even in Ottawa it is hard to get some of those teams,â&#x20AC;? said Hale. Haleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother and father started the store in the September of 1973, while he started work in April of 1975 at the store, which had been a convenience store previously. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the beginning, in the late 1970s, early 1980s, bus tours were a big attraction,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would have several busses a week who would be doing a tour of eastern Ontario.â&#x20AC;? While one of his staffers will retire, his other two employees will be looking for new employment starting this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had very dedicated staff, some of them have been with me for 22 years,â&#x20AC;? he said. One of his current staffers has been on the payroll for 19 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(They are) very dedicated, very helpful to the customers and the customers certainly appreciated coming in and seeing a familiar face.â&#x20AC;? As for his customers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot have been in within the last week. Perth and area have been very supportive of the store,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that they draw from beyond Lanark County, with regular customers from Ottawa and Kingston, and even as far away as New York and Pennsylvania. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of them I met 30 years ago and now they are bringing their grandchildren,â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh. After the inventory runs out and everything is squared away, Hale

Cornerstone Landing works to prevent youth homelessness

to even greater risk once they are couchsurfing.” While more than 300,000 people are technically homeless in Canada, young people represent one third of those numbers. But it’s a different phenomenon for individuals who are still growing and finding themselves at the age of 16 or 17, out on their own without all the life skills they require. Experts say the keys for assisting homeless youth in the transition to adulthood are education and training. Cornerstone Landing works to keep the youth it supports in school, where they can access friends, community, and resources. The organization recently hired a long-time social justice organizer, Matthew Behrens, to work as the group’s part-time community coordinator. “A lot of at-risk young people would attend school if they had a more stable living environment, and Cornerstone’s Submitted photo
Cornerstone Landing board members Christine Campbell and Terrilee Kelford go over student surveys on youth homelessness, which reveal that the often hidden problem of young people without a permanent home is a growing problem in the area. If left on their own, these students become very vulnerable to the dangers of couch surfing (physical/sexual abuse and possible drug addiction), which in the past has led them to drop out of school.” Cornerstone recently launched a website (http://cornerstonelanding. com) detailing its work and upcoming activities, including a major fundraising dinner and dance Oct. 25 at the Civitan Hall. The group also conducted a June survey in area high schools to calculate raw numbers that will provide a snapshot of problems in Perth and surrounding communities. “While tabulating the responses to the survey, which we expect to release this
fall, we are struck by the experiences that lead to young people finding themselves without a safe, permanent home,” says Terrilee Kelford, one of the founders of the group and someone who has worked on the issue for over a dozen years. “Youth homelessness is sometimes a misleading term because people tend to blame the youth,” Kelford says. “Youth homelessness is usually an adult-created problem, the end result of dysfunctional families, drug or alcohol addiction, poverty, a lack of affordable housing, a traumatic experience that does not get dealt with in a caring manner, non-acceptance of lifestyle issues or sexual orientation, a whole range of issues that expose young people

partnership is clear: you stay in school, we will support you,” he says. “It’s hard to imagine the daily stresses of the average teenager looking at an uncertain future. You suddenly add to that not having clean clothes, a place to shower or do your homework, or the precious gift of personal privacy, and you begin to understand the peril and that absolutely crushing feeling so many young people experience when it’s no longer safe for them to live with their family.” Cornerstone is looking for volunteers to help supply meals, provide rides to client appointments, assist with tutoring needs, and contribute to the costs of the organization.

News – One of the challenges facing many area young people this summer is what to do in Perth. Does one stay at home in the air conditioned comfort of a basement, or venture out to the family cottage? But a growing number of young people are coping with a more compelling reality: trying to find a safe place to lay down their heads at night. With warmer temperatures, that could be under a bridge in Stewart Park, a car parked in an out-of-the-way place, a simple tent in the bush. And while the problems of homelessness are most often associated with the rigors of cold winter weather, summertime is an equally dangerous time for individuals who cannot access a cooling area, proper hydration and nutrition, and daily comforts like a shower and a bed to ride out a heat wave or violent storm. Lanark County does not have an emergency youth shelter or public transit, so options for homeless youth are few and far between. While homelessness is more obvious in Ottawa or Toronto, rural youth homelessness is hidden away in a pattern of couch-surfing and other forms of precarious living. Perth’s Cornerstone Landing Emergency Residence is working to prevent youth homelessness by connecting with young people aged 16 to 24 at risk of losing the roof over their heads, introducing them to local services, and providing stabilizing supports for independent living, including rent supplements and gift certificates. “I work with at risk youth on a daily basis,” says Christine Campbell, a child and youth worker at Perth & District Collegiate Institute who chairs the board of Cornerstone. “There are times when a student will come to me and say that they are not able to live at home at this point. The reasons vary, but nine times out of 10 it is because there is something going on at home that prevents them from being there.

Wynne’s no-win situation
Editorial – Today, voters across the province will be casting judgment on the fate of Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberal government. It feels a little bit more like a poll is being taken across the province, like those annoying suppertime telephone polls except this one is binding. It may not be quite the referendum on Wynne that Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak is calling it, but neither is it something that can be ignored. Today, voters in London West, Windsor-Tecumseh, Etobicoke-Lakeshore, Scarborough-Guildwood, and in Ottawa South, will go to the polls to plug up some holes in the seats at Queen’s Park. As we have seen in past elections, like 1990, London is often a bellweather for the rest of the province. Very often, as goes London, so too goes the rest of Ontario, somewhat of a microcosm of enough of the province to be representative of it. Unlike by-elections held during a majority government’s mandate, which are often of little consequence to the balance of power, these votes will significantly alter the political landscape, depending on how well the opposition parties do. The Liberals’ hold on Toronto now looks iffy, but anything can happen in Ottawa, and the NDP and Tories could take seats away in London and Windsor, according to the polls. Remember that there was only one seat separating Dalton McGuinty from another majority government back in October of 2011. By tonight, that gap could grow wider. It is interesting to see just how many Liberal ministers, like Dwight Duncan, Laurel Broten, and Dalton McGuinty himself, have jumped ship rather than face what now seems like an inevitable meltdown for the Grits. Wynne has been stoic, but realistic about these battles. Campaigning in London West, she told the Toronto Star recently, “as you know, by-elections are tough for incumbent governments.” She may be preparing the embattled Liberals for even more bad
news come this evening after the polls close. Some have called her decision to have these elections in the dead of summer a cynical move to catch the voters unawares, but, even if she had held off until September, it still would have been viewed as a summer campaign, and those seats should be filled in time for the fall session, and to bring new MPPs up to speed. Damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t. Now, it’s not over yet, and Wynne can take solace with what she has seen in three other elections. The polls were way off in British Columbia this past May, returning Premier Christy Clark to office, to the surprise of everyone but her. In Alberta, the polls swung, under the radar, in the last two weeks of the campaign, enough to keep Alison Redford’s Progressive Conservatives in office. And even next door in Quebec, while Pauline Marois’ Parti Quebecois returned to power after nearly a decade in opposition, Jean Charest’s Liberals did not go into complete meltdown, as many had predicted. In many ways, Wynne has to take ownership of mistakes she didn’t make, promising change while, at the same time, not distancing herself too much from the premiership of ‘what’s-his-name’ from 2003 to 2012. Last September’s KitchenerWaterloo by-election, which saw a surprise win for the NDP in a seat not normally warm to the social democrats, was one of the bellweathers which likely hastened McGuinty’s departure (his first one). This time around, Wynne, just selected by her party as leader this past January, can’t cut and run like McGuinty did. And with a new cabinet sworn in this past winter, she can’t borrow a page from Prime Minister Stephen Harper and have a cabinet shuffle this early on. Even prorogation seems out.

quality time with the donut cushion, a lot of Advil and a busted (again) tailbone that has had quite enough of my shenanigans, thank you very much, and has not completely forgiven me. STEPHANIE GRAY Where am I going with this? Well, we decided to rip up the ancient carpeting on the stairs (only to discover an even more ancient green runner underneath). The weekend was spent ripping, tearing and pulling out enough nails and staples to warrant a call to a scrap heap, followed by scraping, more pulling of errant nails and staples, sanding, hole filling and, of course, vacuuming. That “distressed” look people pay hard-earned cash to achieve? We’ve got it in spades. Next comes the painting. Now, you might ask, is painting these treacherous (for me) stairs a wise move? Only time will tell. We hope it will be just pretty, and not pretty dramatic. Groom-boy picked up the paint for the treads the other day, and as I ran my finger over the splotch of colour they dab on the lid of the paint can, I panicked. “Groom-boy!” I said. “This doesn’t feel gritty! Didn’t you get the gritty stuff so I wouldn’t fall down the stairs?” Groom-boy is heading back to the store for paint grit. So, yes, if you come to our house (not recommended for anyone with dust allergies), then I am hopeful you will have traction on our vintage mountain-goat stairs. Personally, I hope to avoid having column fodder about my latest epic journey down the stairs, assuming I survive. For now, in addition to utilizing stair grit, I will continue to hold the railing, descend slowly and show the utmost respect for the stairs. Or maybe I should just tie the donut cushion to my bum as a preventive measure.

Town’s longest running race prepares for kick-off Aug. 28 at Perth Museum By TERRY O’HEARN
News – The Legion’s track and field program dates back to the early 1950s when Hydro Branch 277 in Toronto sponsored the former Canadian Olympic Training Plan. In 1957 the Royal Canadian Legion officially began to finance that training plan with clinics held in Toronto, to which athletes from each province were invited. Over the years many changes took place within the Legion and our government, but a national meet has been held since 1975, and funds have been allocated for camps since 1977. This year’s Legion Canadian Youth Track And Field Championships will be held from Aug. 7 to 12 in Langley, BC. The meet is held each year in association with Athletics Canada as a means to provide training and competition at the national level for young track and field athletes. The upcoming Glen Tay Block Race, which takes place on Thursday, Aug. 29 at 6 p.m., is considered part of the track and field program of this Legion branch. Current Ottawa Sports Awards chair Doug Scorrar and Legion branch member John Burke were competitors in the resurrected race of 1967, and both men had been part of the Legion track and field program during their high school years at Perth and District Collegiate Institute under the coaching of long-time race director Tom Graham. Scorrar went on to attend Ohio State University, where he held all running distance records from one to six miles. Other Perth athletes who benefitted from the program were current hammer throw star Sultana Frizell, and shot put specialist Jack Ongarato, who still holds Lanark County Interschool Athletic Association records.
Branch 244 News Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier, April 7, 1933: “Last week the Perth-UponTay Branch No. 244, of the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League received its charter from headquarters, with the names of the following charter members appearing thereon in the order named: Col. J.A. Hope, K.C., W.G. Blair, M.D., G.T. Kerr, W.E. Wright, B.L. Ferrier, G. Barrie, T.H. Gooten, A.M. Johnston, Arthur Brown, Louis Bassett, A.L. Code, M.J. Donoghue, C.V. Farmer, R.M. Hope, F.K. Hope, Garnet King, R. Mills, P. McParlan, W.E. Praskey, W.A. Relyea, Harold Travers and E.H. Wilson.” Did you know? In 1974 the Japanese soldier Hiroo Onoda emerged from the jungle on the Philipine island of Lubang, where he had been hiding for 30 years. Leaflets had been dropped several times over the years, which told Onoda and his companions the war was over, but Onoda was always suspicious. In 1974 a college dropout named Suzuki decided to search for Onoda, a Panda, and the Abominable Snowman. He found Onoda, but could not convince him the war was yet over. Suzuki left and returned with Onoda’s old commander, Major Taniguchi, who was finally Submitted photo able to convince Onoda to surrender. Jeffrey Brison of Kingston crosses the finish line with a winning time of 55:33 at the 2012 Legion sponsored Don’t forget our websites: www.rcl244. Glen Tay Block Race.

We would also like to extend a thank you to all the doctors and nurses who cared for Ron during his extended stay in the Carleton Place and District Hospital, as well as to the doctors and nurses who cared for Ron during recent stays in Almonte Hospital.

Finally, a warm ‘Thank You’ to Reg Gamble and all the staff of the CR Gamble Funeral Home for ensuring that Ron’s and his family’s wishes were met in the final act of care for Ron.

McNEILL – In loving memory of a dear husband and father, James, who passed away on August 2, 2008. Dear Jim, you are forever in our hearts. Wife Claire and family
ELLIOTT, Lois E. – In loving memory of our Mom who passed away August 2, 2007. Though we cannot see you, we know you are near. We feel you around us and you wipe away our tears. Our hearts are filled with ache, as we miss you each day. But knowing the Lord is holding you, helps us smile today. Your resting place we visit and place flowers there with care. We turn and blow you kisses and walk away with only memories to share. We miss you Mom. Remembering and loving you forever Mom.
SADLER - In loving memory of a dear Mother and Grandmother, Iva Margaret Sadler, who passed away August 2, 1988. No one knows the heartaches, Only those who have lost can tell Of the grief that’s born together For the one we loved so well. Lovingly remembered by the family
DEVITT, Robert (Bob) – In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away July 31, 2006. Time speeds on, Seven years have passed Since death its gloom, its shadow cast Within our home, where all seemed bright, And took from us a shining light, We miss that light and ever will, His vacant place there is none can fill. Down here we mourn, but not in vain, For up in Heaven we will meet again. Always in our thoughts and sadly missed, Lorena, Crystal, John, Meredith and Bailey
MITCHELL, Colleen – Born May 23, 1974, Perth, ON., passed away on July 21, 2013, with friends at her side following a brave and valiant battle with cancer. Her determination and positive attitude throughout was truly symbolic of who she really was. Beloved daughter to her parents, Francis and Florence Mitchell, sister to Paul Mitchell (Sylvie), and loving Aunt to Frankie and Josephine. Colleen will also be sadly missed by her loving family including her cousins Deborah (Shane), Mike (Alex) and many more. Colleen’s wonderful and dedicated friends should be commended for their constant help and support; immeasurable gratitude to Lynne Prevost and Roy Rivers (Sarnia), Michelle Vandermoer and Shannon Sengbusch (London), Krista Larouche (Lombardy), as well as her faithful Labrador Diesel. We will miss her infectious smile, witty humour and loving heart. She has been taken from us too soon and will be dearly missed. Do not stand at my grave and weep. In those quiet moments in the still of the night, Remember to rejoice and celebrate life. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night. You will hear my gentle voice and remember to rejoice, Never give up your fight and remember to always celebrate life. ~ Author unknown ~

Clark spoke out against the cuts to physiotherapy services for seniors during the debate on the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park and has also launched a petition against the plan. He also wrote to the Health Minister to condemn the move shortly after she made the announcement in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone recognizes that we need to spend our health-care dollars wisely,â&#x20AC;? said Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to stand by quietly and see frontline care and treatment sacrificed to pay for the waste and mismanagement of the McGuintyWynne government.â&#x20AC;? Clark noted heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s met with seniors, long-term care operators and physiotherapists who have told him that oneon-one physio treatment is a critical factor in improving patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mobility and quality of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the government claims this short-sighted cut is going to save $44 million, I believe the loss of these treatments for frail and elderly patients is going to end up costing the health-care system much more,â&#x20AC;? said Clark.

to enjoy the good food revolution, to have enough healthy food. Last year 1741 people benefited from our programs. We are working with local gardeners and producers to purchase as much local food as possible for our own kitchen and food bank, and we have made local food a focus of this fundraiser. We are not alone. As part of the Share the Health project at Community Food Centres Canada, proceeds from five lively community events will be used to buy produce from environmentally sustainable, small local farms for use in meals, hampers and kitchens at three Community Food Centres across Ontario: The Stop CFC in Toronto, The Table CFC in Perth and The Local CFC in Stratford. We see it as a win for farmers, a win for the environment, and a win for low-income communities. Farmers need a fair price, low-income families need fair access, and we all benefit from a healthy and fair food system. Visit www.cfccanada.

Jazz Age for Great Gatsby-themed fundraiser drive-in movie night Entertainment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; From killer box office to killer cars, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cruise and movie night will certainly be worthy of a novel. In fact, the movie being shown, is based on a novel, arguably the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;great American novel,â&#x20AC;? The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1925), and, yes, it does involve a car crash or two. The Leonardo di Caprio, Tobey Maguire epic will be screened on Thursday, Aug. 8, with gates open at 6:30 p.m., at the Port Elmsley drive-in in Drummond/North Elmsley Township, in partnership with the antique classic car show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing it for quite a few
years now,â&#x20AC;? said Andy Holdham, the event organizer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We run the gate and that goes to the club and it pays for the film. The owner makes money from the canteen.â&#x20AC;? For the last two or three years, they have just broken even, but good weather and a good showing should remedy that, especially with prices like $10 for a carload. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a car comes and they shove people in the trunk, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fineâ&#x20AC;Ś we encourage it!â&#x20AC;? said Holdham with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we were kids we used to do that.â&#x20AC;? There will also be â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s, and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s music played, with door prizes and a 50/50 draw just before the start of the movie at sunset. The proceeds of the 50/50 draw go to Camp Quality, a
summer camp for youth battling cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a major sponsor of them for many years,â&#x20AC;? said Holdham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We give them a fair bit of money every year.â&#x20AC;? While the event is a chance to give to a worthy cause, it is also a good way for local car enthusiasts to share their love of their vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance for people with their old collector cars to chat and (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) for

Sail into Portland for navy event News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Come on down to Portland this Saturday, Aug. 3, for the annual chicken barbecue that starts at 4:30 p.m. at the Community Hall, followed by free music in Hanna Park, courtesy of Rideau Realty and The Carousel, from 6 to 8 p.m. The talented group, King of the Swingers, featuring Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Marty Crapper of Country Roads and his friends, will provide great summertime entertainment! At 7 p.m. in great Navy tradition, guests can watch the Admiral Sir Charles Kingsmill Sail Past and Salute. Admiral Kingsmill was the founder of the Canadian Navy and a cottager on the Big Rideau at his beloved Grindstone Island. He died on Grindstone Island, and while it had been his wish to be buried there, this was not permissible, so his neighbours formed a flotilla to escort him to the village. He was buried
in the Emmanuel Anglican cemetery south of Portland along Highway 15. To commemorate the Admiral, the sail past and salute re-enacts the salute to the flotilla as it sails by. Come on down, enjoy some barbecued chicken and dessert, listen to the music, or bring your boat and be part of the flotilla, which will form up at 6:30 p.m. along Greenwoods for the sail past and salute. Just look for all the boats gathering on the water and join in!

Rideau Ferry Regatta preparations coming down to the finish line Sports – With less than three weeks to go before the Aug. 17-18 Rideau Ferry Regatta, last-minute preparations, like putting the finishing touches on the cardboard boats, are underway. Organizers of the regatta are this week shipping these boats out to the townships and towns whose politicians are competing in the cardboard boat race. Township staff are then expected to decorate their vessels with flamboyance. Parks Canada last week installed the docks that will be used in the hot pits and this week, Rideau Ferry Harbour Marine is expected to bring another set of docks to the Rideau Ferry Conservation Authority property. These docks were bought by the Rideau Ferry Yacht Club and though they needed repair volunteers were happy to double the 2011 dock capacity. The regatta, by the way, is still looking for more volunteers. Any high school student wanting to accumulate some hours to those required for graduation and for that matter, anyone else who is interested in contributing their time to a worthwhile community cause is asked to call Scott Cameron at 613-283-9107. The Rideau Ferry Regatta is Drummond North Elmsley’s biggest event of the year. It is also the only antique and classic race boat show on the Rideau waterway.
For those interested in building a canoe, there is one spot left for this bargain at the regatta. Four teams of four will be competing in the canoe build, which starts the Saturday of the event and by Sunday at noon, they will be in the water racing. For $100, you get instructions on how to build the canoe, on site of course, and all the material needed for the seaworthy vessel. And you get bragging rights if you win the event. It is part of the regatta’s attempt to re-introduce boat building to the area. Three teams, an Ottawa family, Smiths Falls firefighters, and YAK, Perth’s Youth Action Committee are already part of the event. For those interested, call John Kessel at 613-2672091. There’s no better bargain around. Anyone wanting to sell raffle tickets for a canoe built by the instructors is also asked to call Kessel. Seven Rideau Lakes marinas are also frantically finishing their sea-flea building in preparation for the event. The Sea-Flea Challenge is the brainchild of John McLaughlin, owner of Rideau Ferry Harbour Marine. It’s a competition among the marinas to build the best sea flea at the regatta. These small but amazingly fast little boats will be on display and in the water for the regatta.

Special Olympians converge on Conlon Farm for annual soccer tournament By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
Sports – Perth’s Knights of Columbus have been helping to host the annual Special Olympians soccer tournament for five years now. Grand Knight Pat Loftus says he didn’t realize how much work went into the tournament but adds that he doesn’t regret a single moment – or the

approximately $3,000 that goes towards hosting such an event. “It’s when they give you a hug at the end of the day; seeing their smiles and hearing their thanks, that’s why we do it,” said Loftus. “It’s pretty amazing to see them all lined up for a hug.” On Saturday, Aug. 10, there will be 10 teams from as far away as Toronto, Ottawa, Peterborough, as well as a team
from Perth, who will play for three divisional championship trophies. All participants will receive medals for their play as well. The day begins at Conlon Farm at 8 a.m. and opening ceremonies at 8:30 a.m. with special guests, the Knights of Columbus Honour Guard. Loftus adds that Mayor John Fenik may also be available, as he has been in the past for this event. Father Brian
McNally will also be in attendance. “The players will be piped onto the playing field by a local piper and this is a really fun part for them all,” notes Loftus. “All participants will parade around the soccer field carrying their flag or team banner… it’s something to see and they all have a great time doing it.” A barbecue lunch of hotdogs and burgers will be available, and will be
free for all participants and their parents or caregivers. Oranges and water will also be provided for participants. “Everyone is welcome to come and watch the action,” says Loftus. “It’s free for all – even the participants and parents/caregivers..” Money is raised for this tournament by draws for prizes which the Knights of Columbus hold during the July 1 celebrations in town.

Big Rideau brings big challenges and big fish to the scales this year Sports - Renegade Bass, the leader in live release bass tournament fishing in Canada, announced the results of the third and fourth event qualifiers of the 2013 tournament season presented by Ranger Boats, Orleans Boat World & Sports and Evinrude BRP Motors. Rideau Ferry Harbour played host to 73 of Canada’s elite fishing teams on July 20 and 21. Teams were competing for over $17,000 in cash and prizes each day. Unsettled weather for
the weekend brought an added challenge as thunderstorms and a major cold front brought an end to the high humidity making for drastically different fishing conditions. Saturday saw only one team, Paul Shibata and Craig Lister tip the scales over 18 pounds and that trend continued into Sunday with the team of Lenny Devos and Jeff Desloges being the only team to cross the 18 pound mark. “We worked hard for this
win! We knew with changing weather conditions the bites might come slower and we were very focused on making sure that when we got bit, we didn’t miss any fish.” said G. Loomis and Lowrance Electronics Pro Paul Shibata. “We didn’t have an extensive pre-fish and relied heavily on our Lowrance electronics to locate areas we knew had the right mix to hold some bigger fish.” Big Rideau Lake is known for delivering on some big
weights in tournaments but both Saturday and Sunday proved to be frustrating and challenging. The same held true for Triton Boats/Hunter’s Bay Marine, Quantum Fishing Pros, Lenny Devos and Jeff Desloges, perennial favourites to win on Big Rideau. Devos and Desloges had a disappointing Saturday but rallied hard for the win on Sunday. “Based on our previous day, we knew what not to do and on Sunday decided to go with the
opposite strategy,” said Devos, Ultra Pro and VOK fishing pro. “We covered a lot of water to focus almost exclusively on large weed beds that were holding a significant baitfish population. We figured out quickly that the largemouth were keying on these baitfish and from then on it was just a matter of being patient and waiting for the bigger fish to eat our jigs.” In Renegade Bass Tour competition, anglers are also vying for high weights in hopes
of qualifying for the Renegade Bass Classic, the Canadian elite championship of bass fishing. The 2013 Renegade Bass Classic XVIII takes place Sept. 7 and 8 on Lake St. Francis and anglers could win a fully rigged Ranger bass boat and Evinrude BRP motor valued at over $50,000 – the sport’s biggest award in Canada.

Beveridges Lock traffic down over last year Weather threatens men’s night By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – The number of boats using the Beveridges Lock to get to the Tay Canal from the Rideau Canal is down from last year. Only 12 boats made the journey in May, with 52 boats on the water in June. “While these numbers are down from last year, this lock station sees significant fluctuations in traffic,” wrote Genevieve Patenaude, a media relations officer with Parks Canada, based in Gatineau, Quebec, in an email exchange last week. “Boat traffic at Beveridges Lock station is low throughout the season in
comparison to other lock stations but more so during the shoulder seasons.” While the numbers are down from last year, “May traffic is actually up 33 per cent from 2011, when rain and cold temperatures also made for a late start to the season. That year, overall there were only nine boats in May.” From May 17 to June 20, and again from Sept. 3 to Oct. 14, Beveridges will not be manned and boaters will be asked to pre-book lockage by calling 613-3595377 at least 48 hours in advance. Patenaude also offered that the price of gas may also be having an affect on the number of boats on the water. “For example, in 2011, media reported that at $1.45 a litre at local marinas,
some boaters altered their boating habits,” she wrote. “Since 2011, the price of gas has risen approximately 12 per cent or higher in some areas. Parks Canada remains optimistic that the July boating traffic will start to improve and our team looks forward to welcoming boaters and canal users to Beveridges, the gateway to Perth.” Patenaude also added that the months of May and June “constitute the slower part of the season on the Rideau Canal, including at Beveridges Lock, with July and August our peak months… For 2013, the temperatures, the wet spring weather, and high water flows may have been factors that impacted outdoor activities.”
Boat tours return to the Tay Canal News - The recent arrival of guided boat tours on the Tay Canal this summer has revived a tradition – and popular entertainment – that dates back to the Perth area’s late 1800s. This week, Tay Canal Tours announced the official commencement of their scheduled tours based out of Perth, operating along this historic waterway. The canal was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2007, with the Rideau Canal system. The narrated tours will visit some of the area’s most important historic sites, through pristine countryside and the Tay Marsh, in Drummond/North Elmsley Township (optionally, longer tours are available to the Beveridges Lock, on Lower Rideau Lake). Amongst the historic spots viewed along the way are the site of the last fatal
duel in Upper Canada, the original 1834 Tay Canal and its towpath, and the route taken by the first settlers to the 1816 Perth Military Settlement. The tour includes an extensive visit to the ‘provincially significant’ Tay Marsh, noted for its range of wildlife, including the black tern (species of special concern). The Classic 24 foot tour boat, ‘Blue Goose’, will provide two tours daily, at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For the present, the twoand-a-half-hour tours leave from the docks at Last Duel Park, on Craig Street, in Perth. Reservations are required. In addition to scheduled tours, custom and package outings will be offered for special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and family visits, on the Tay or Rideau system, or area lakes.
Tay Canal Tours is an enterprise of local citizens aimed at providing a means by which residents and visitors may enjoy and learn about the historic Tay River and Canal – a little-known jewel in the Perth and Drummond/North Elmsley Township community. Further information on the tours is available at www.taycanaltours.com, or by telephone at (613) 264-0094.

back. Long drives were by Gord Buchan, Skip Patterson, Pat Capello and Len Bolton. Greg Howard took home the entry to the Burns Jewelers draw and Rob Geroux took home the Lanark Landing gift certificate. The march to Vegas continued with a total of 15 names drawn for the competition for a seat on the plane.

BarnDoor Productions begins climb of The 39 Steps
Something to YAK about
Events – BarnDoor Productions, Perth’s original community theatre, is beginning the climb up toward its 19th season and that climb begins with auditions for their fall production, The 39 Steps. The 39 Steps is the longest running Broadway play of the 2000s, called “riotous and marvellous” by the New York Post and “Theater at its finest” by the New York Times. It has also been called “Where Hitchock meet hilarious”, a brilliantly inventive, tongue-in-cheek homage to Hitchcock movies, murder mysteries and the British Empire. It also has a special Canadian connection. The play is based on Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 movie, which is, in turn, based on John Buchan’s 1915 book. John Buchan is better known in this country as Lord Tweedsmuir, the 15th Governor General of Canada! Adapted by British actor/playwright Patrick Barlow, the play began life in a regional theatre in England before moving into the West End and Broadway, winning two Tony Awards, the Olivier Award and the Drama Desk Award and running for over 1100 performances on Broadway. What makes the show special is that the nearly 200 characters in the play are played by only four performers! One actor plays the central role of Richard Hannay,

an earnest young man from “the Canadas”; the one female plays the two principal female roles; and two energetic and versatile men play all the other roles in a whirlwind of silly accents and rapid hat changes. The show makes no attempt to hide its theatricality: a few sets pieces and props are all that are required to portray scenes from fog-shrouded London to the Scottish Highlands, from a speeding train to a high-speed car chase. The result is a laughriot the New York Post called “The best show on Broadway!” Auditions for BarnDoor Productions’ The 39 Steps will be held on Monday, Aug. 12, beginning at 7 p.m. These are open auditions; all are welcome and no preparation is required. Simply show up and have a good time. The audition will be in the lobby of the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth. If you want to be part of some of the best fun you can have on stage, if you’re up for a creative challenge such as doesn’t often come along for community theatre and if you want to get involved (or re-involved) with the community theatre that has been raising the bar, production after production, since their first show in 1995, come out for the auditions for The 39 Steps. You never know where they might lead!
