Big wheels keep on turning, annoying residents in Perth Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Yeehaw! Hats off for Cancer Classic

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

Some 66 female golfers raised more than $7,265 at the Blue Heron Golf Club’s sixth annual Golf Fore The Cure. The Lanarkbased course has requested that the funds stay locally, “to serve our own women’s needs,” wrote tournament organizer Joan Sobil in an email to this newspaper on Tuesday, Aug. 16. This year’s event was held on Thursday, Aug. 11, but over the six years that the event has been held, more than $55,000 has been raised for breast cancer. Food was also collected, and later delivered, to the Lanark Highlands Food Pantry. Pictured, going big on the cowboy theme were, from left, Barbara McDonald, Jan Jones, Hannah Bailey, and Christene Netherton.

Is Perth town council on the right road when it comes to trucks transiting the downtown core? Resident Derek Holbeche does not think so, and he hopes that better signage will soon direct trucks to their proper route from Highway 7 to points south, and vice versa. Speaking as a delegation at Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 9, Holbeche said that he appreciated the truck direction signs that were present during recent roadwork on Wilson Street, but had hoped that that proper signage would be a permanent feature, as he had recently seen a flatbed truck with very large landscaping rocks making its way down Gore Street. (Later in the week, this newspaper noticed large tractor trailers on Wilson Street and a large log truck turning from Craig Street onto Gore Street East.) Holbeche said he was under the impression that only cars and light trucks, like delivery vans, were allowed on Gore Street. Coun. Jim Graff agreed that “tri-axle trailers don’t turn that easily,” especially the ones trying to turn from North Street onto Gore Street. In order to better accommodate turning trucks, “we will have to do a bit of work on the curbs…not to take out the curbs but to shave them down,” said Graff, lest the truck’s wheels mount the curb. “Could the signs be permanent and get the trucks off of Gore Street?” asked Holbeche.

Champions for Kids Foundation golf tournament raises $37,500 to assist area families The 2016 Champions for Kids Foundation (C4K) Golf Tournament has raised about $37,500 to help area children. More than 100 golfers took to the links at the eQuinelle Golf Club on July 6, enjoying 18 holes of golf, a steak dinner, and a silent auction featuring a variety of items ranging from watches to hotel stays. Their participation, as well as tournament sponsorships from a number of area businesses, helped generate the total. “We are extremely pleased with the support we received this year from players as well as the many businesses that graciously sponsored our event,” said C4K president Carole Dufort. “The money raised will help us improve the childhood experience for many youth in our area.”

The winning team at this year’s tournament was the foursome of Shawn Pankow, Frazer Smith, Ron Brus and Barry Pankow. The team shot 14-under to take this year’s event. C4K is a charity formed in January 2008 to discreetly help level the playing field for UCDSB children and their families. Although the charity’s main focus is to assist families in allowing their children to participate in sports, arts and other fun activities outside of school hours, it also meets unique needs like covering minor medical expenses (i.e. eyeglasses), providing gas cards to parents with a child in the hospital, or purchasing a winter coat for a child who needs warmth. All assistance is kept confidential. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board

Vial of Life initiative gathering steam in Lanark County Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

A simple plastic vial can play an important role between life and death. During the Aug. 10 Lanark County community services committee meeting at the county building in Perth, councillors received an update on the Vial of Life program from Community & Primary Health Care’s (CPHC) Patti Lennox and the Mills Community Support’s Jeff Mills. Vial of Life, stands for Life Saving Information for Emergencies, noted Lennox. Inside the vial is a decal to be placed on the front door of a person’s residence, a magnet for the fridge and health information that should be completed and placed back in the vial. “This saves first responders when they come to your home if, for instance, you are alone and are unable to provide them with information, they can see the decal on the door, they know to go to the fridge,” she explained. “They see the magnet on the fridge and know where they can get the information they need.” “…As well, there’s information on how to dispose of your pills,” Lennox continued. “We know that we want pills that aren’t used to be taken back to the pharmacy and disposed of properly.” Lennox indicated she and CPHC became involved in Vial of Life when she was approached by Mills. Calling it a “great community partnership,” she said Lanark County has committed $2,000 to the initiative and the Almonte Civitan Club donated $500. Shoppers Drug Mart locations

throughout the county (Perth, Smiths Falls, Almonte and Carleton Place) are also all involved, agreeing to provide vials free of charge as well as hand them out with prescriptions. “We’ve had endorsement from the Rideau Environmental Action League who were very pleased we were getting pills disposed of properly, and the Municipal Drug Strategy Committee of Lanark County as well,” Lennox said. With community partners in place, the program began to move forward back on June 14 when a pizza party event was held for volunteers helping assemble vials at the Royal Canadian Legion branch in Smiths Falls. “We had the resources, the printing, Shoppers Drug Mart provided us with vials and we were at the point where we needed to get stuffed,” Lennox remarked. More than 25 volunteers showed up to help, including the Smiths Falls & District Youth Centre, seniors, Smiths Falls council, the Local Integration Partnership as well as representatives from the Mills. “We provided pizza and pop to our volunteers. In three hours, we had 2,000 vials stuffed and ready to go,” she said. The next challenge was how to distribute the vials across the county. With Smiths Falls hosting their annual Healthy Living Festival just a few days later, it seemed like the natural choice. “We had a big kick off there with the help of staff from the Mills and we’re still working on getting the word out,” Lennox said, noting that she has seen firsthand awareness being spread. “A week later, I

went to fill my prescription (at the Carleton Place Shoppers Drug Mart) and as they handed me my prescription they offered me a Vial of Life. I thought, bingo! We’re ready to go.” Since the initial launch at the festival, Lennox said con-

tinued promotion of the program is key. There are plans to present to the Civitan clubs in Lanark County as well as institute a second run of Vial of Life. She thanked Lanark County council for their support. “We thank you very much

for your help with this. We hope it will be ongoing help,” she noted. Community services chair Coun. John Fenik (Perth mayor) commended the work being done. “On behalf of this committee, fantastic job. It got

done and it’s going to help some people out and probably save a life, so thank you very much,” he said. Each member of county council was presented with their own Vial of Life by Lennox prior to the presentation.

Erin Lee wins ETFO Social Activism Award Erin Lee, executive director of Lanark County Interval House, has received the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) 2016 Social Activism Award. The award is presented to an individual woman or a group of women who do not hold ETFO membership but have been outstanding social activists on behalf of women and children in Ontario. Under Lee’s leadership, Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) is a compelling force of change, helping to build a better future for women and their children in Lanark County and beyond. While LCIH provides residential emergency shelter and transitional support for women and children fleeing abusive situations, the organization goes well beyond these services. With two outreach offices in Lanark County Highlands and Carleton Place, LCIH has built comprehensive services for rural women and children Laurie Weir/Metroland under Lee’s vision. Lee was nominated for

the award by ETFO’s Upper Canada Occasional Teacher Local. Lanark County Interval House provides unique counselling services to prevent and deal with violence. Among other programs, it offers workshops and counselling on healthy relationships, girl on girl violence, conflict resolution skills and a web network for rural youth called Truth for Rural Youth that provides educational materials and resources to end violence. Lee has also pursued a truly integrated approach with the entire community to end violence that includes partnerships with local police forces to identify and assist women living in abusive situations and extensive preventative education in schools, town councils and community groups by LCIH. Lee has worked with local businesses to raise awareness about women abuse through LCIH’s Violet Femmes fundraiser, a Women’s Fair, and the Feed the Fight to End

Violence Against Women involving local restaurant partnerships. Lee and her staff write a monthly article in the local newspaper and run The As Good as New Store to raise funds and provide clothing for women staying at the shelter. “Erin has moved mountains to address the barriers of rural realities and make LCIH services accessible to all women and children,” said ETFO president Sam Hammond. “While running a complex organization, Erin has engaged her entire community to enable Lanark County’s women, children and youth to deal with and be free from violence.” The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario represents 78,000 elementary public school teachers and education professionals across the province and is the largest teacher federation in Canada.

BUY ONE Invisibel Synergy Hearing Aid GET ONE 50% OFF

Bringing Perth’s past to life There’s only two weeks left to catch the Classic Theatre Festival’s two historic theatrical walking plays, which have drawn visitors from around the globe. River of Memory, the morning show, is a compelling story of early Indigenous/settler relations at the time of Perth’s founding in traditional Algonquin territory, playing Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. to noon until Aug. 28. The Lonely Ghosts Walk, running Fridays from 7 to 8 p.m. until Aug. 26, is called A Taste of Perth, and focuses on local whiskey baron John McLaren and the temperance woman for whom he held a secret flame. These unsettled spirits argue it out during a crosstown journey that features a young Malcolm Cameron (founder of the Bathurst Courier newspaper), some very inebriated penny-a-day soldiers, and a collection of comedy and musical moments that bring back a key conflict that marked Perth’s early years. Both plays are written by the Classic Theatre Festival’s Laurel Smith, and directed by Sean Jacklin. The talented cast includes Garrett Pipher, Morgan MacDonald, Connor Williamson and Emily Richardson. Tickets to both shows are available at www.classictheatre.ca.

Commentary

Getting up to code

e understand Leeds and Grenville Warden David Gordon’s initial apprehension when presented with a recommendation that the united counties award a crack sealing and routing contract when only one company submitted a bid. Gordon, the mayor of North Grenville, indicated a committee meeting earlier this summer that he did not feel confortable about the move given the so-called open and transparent manner by which municipal governments are supposed to operate these days. It appears that the counties issued a standard tender call, by all accounts, and only one firm – Pavetech Ottawa – submitted a bid. Public Works Director Les Shepherd indicated that the amount of just under $167,500 represents a competitive price, adding that the company is reputable. The total ended up being a few thousand dollars over what had been budgeted. As some counties officials noted, once the sealed envelope is broken and unless it is made clear in advance that the contract

will not be awarded if there is only one bid, it would be difficult not to proceed after the company submitted a bid in good faith and counties staff have done their due diligence. Most public-sector agencies have procurement policies that set guidelines when it comes to awarding contracts. There was no indication at the committee meeting that the counties would be violating policy by awarding the job to the lone bidder. One thing we noted from this and other contract discussions at the meeting is the amount of money with which the local mayors are dealing. Council also gave the green light to a three-year line painting contract for more than $281,000 per year. (By the way, two bids were received for this one, and the low bid was selected.) These elected officials supported by a staff of professionals oversee how tens of millions of local property tax dollars are spent each year. Discussing procurement policy and looking into adopting a council code of conduct are signs that the group is taking its responsibilities seriously.

Wedding day shenanigans leave lasting memories The invitation came in the mail, which in itself was unusual. It was to a wedding of a cousin, who Mother said was once removed. I thought that meant the family had been thrown out of Renfrew County. But apparently that wasn’t the case, because as long as I could remember they lived near Douglas. Getting an invitation in the mail was unusual, because most people in the community were all invited to weddings on the church steps after the Sunday service. The reason ours came in the mail, was that I was going to be a flower girl! I wasn’t this excited since the rumour went around that bad Marguirite’s family was moving to some place far away from Northcote. Sadly, there was no truth in the rumour.

I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress, and white stockings, I was beside myself. The bride was never consulted when Mother went into Walker’s Stores and bought a powder blue, Swiss dot material, and yards of satin ribbon, and a pair of ankle socks with white lace around the cuffs. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough in her egg-money sugar bowl to buy new shoes, and I had to wear a pair that had come in the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie, and which I had long ago outgrown. I knew I was going to be in agony, but to complain could rip me right out of the whole wedding party,

never occurred to me that the family holding the wedding might be praying too! A young lad was to carry the wedding ring on a satin

pillow, and there was no re- eyes on the lad before, and hearsal, I was just told to my first introduction to him walk beside the ring bearer, was when he stuck his tongue smile, and look neither left nor right. I had never laid See MARY page 9

Letter to the Editor so every day, long before the wedding, I crammed my feet into the shoes, hoping they would stretch even a fraction of an inch. The day finally arrived, and all Mother’s praying over her Rosary beads for good weather worked wonders, for the day was bright with not a cloud in the sky, and with a soft breeze blowing to take the heat out of the day. I was amazed that Mother’s Catholic prayers would work in a Lutheran church, and it

Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) is the transportation consortium for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), and the Upper Canada District School Board

My long red ringlets had been up in rags all night, and just as we were abouat to go into the church, this young whippersnapper grabbed a handful of curls and hissed, “giddy up there horsey” nearly knocking me off my feet. An arm reached out and gave him a good shake, and the two of us headed into the church, leading the way. I knew we were supposed to stand in front of the pulpit until the ceremony was over, but Joey (I found out his name long after the wedding was over) wasn’t having any of that. He plopped himself down on the step, faced the congregation, stuck

to find a reasonable explanation for this decision. I find the CCAC’s explanation provided to Bob Hepburn of the Toronto Star insincere and lacking both substance and merit; any suggestion that cutting many client services to as little as 15 minutes seems less about patient care and more like an underhanded and deceptive method of managing the agency’s largess. It appears to be, at best, an abdication of the Champlain CCAC’s responsibilities, and at worst, an attempt to transfer the burden of your budgetary deficits on the backs of both PSWs and patients. My riding of LanarkFrontenac-Lennox & Addington is serviced by both the Champlain CCAC and the South East CCAC, and while the greater population

The organist pumped furiously when it came time to sing a hymn, and drowned him out. No one bothered to waken him when the ceremony was over. It was my sister Audrey who told me later that the minister had to remove the ring from the satin pillow, and he did it ever so gently so that the lad wouldn’t waken and cause another commotion. I never laid eyes on him again. I had plenty to write in my diary that night, and the memory of being part

and largest geographic area is in the South East LHIN, the numbers of complaints I receive from constituents regarding problems with the SE CCAC are barely negligible when compared with the legacy and history of complaints I’ve received about the Champlain CCAC. It is my expectation that you reverse the changes you’ve made to patient visit time, and instead focus on the larger financial problems and find greater efficiencies within administration before diminishing patient services. You might consider starting this by removing those involved with this recent decision from your employ. I look forward to your timely and thoughtful reply.

Arrival of new grandson Max creates wonderful memories I just had a birthday recently. I can’t say I “enjoyed a birthday recently.” That’s because I now qualify for a particular song by The Beatles. That one from the Sergeant Pepper’s album! What made my day was the presence of my grandchildren. Regular readers will notice that is now plural. I sometimes mention our granddaughter Lily in my column. At 29 months Lily is a going concern. When she’s here the only time she stops is when her parents insist she sit down for lunch or dinner. The rest of the time she is a whirlwind, inside or outside our house. After they leave Kathleen and I usually fall into bed! Now Lily has a brother, our second grandchild. His name is Max and at this writing he is growing like a weed! Our daughter Heather and her partner Indy Jayasekara are the proud parents. And are they lucky! Max is such a good little fellow. From the very beginning all he did was eat and sleep 24/7. He rarely cries – only when he’s hungry which is often – and he is not a “shrieker” which is even nicer. Max is a very contented fellow and in the beginning he slept so much we rarely saw his big, brown eyes. That is changing of course and with each passing day he becomes brighter and more engaged. His hearing is outstanding and thanks to his sister his auditory sense is tested regularly. No one will ever accuse Lily of being a shrinking violet! In March Indy, an engineer with an Ottawa-based energy company, was transferred from Regina, where Lily was born, to the nation’s capital. We are delighted and so are his parents who live in suburban Montreal. During the transition period they lived with Kathy and me. Heather was five months pregnant when they arrived and they were with us for two months. That turned out to be a blessing. Lily got to know us so well that Heather and Indy soon had built-in babysitters. Lily barely noticed if her parents went to the store or opted to spend a little time together away from our house in the evening or on weekends. Our grand-daughter is extremely gregarious and she’s a lot of fun to have around. So those two months, in particular, will always hold a special

place in our hearts. We thoroughly enjoyed having them here! They are now settled in a home of their own in south Ottawa and it’s wonderful to have them living 40 minutes away, as opposed to five hours by air. Including airport transfers reaching Regina from Ottawa can be something of an odyssey, as we discovered several times during their two and a half years in the Saskatchewan capital. Lots of help When Lily was born in March 2014 we really felt the distance. So did Heather and Indy who had no relatives in Regina. But they’re very capable and they handled the situation well. Indy’s parents are retired and thankfully they were there to assist when Lily arrived. They were in Regina for a week and then we landed for a six-day visit. So, initially at least, they had plenty of assistance. In addition Indy’s firm was good enough to grant him six weeks paternity leave, a situation that also applies in the wake of Max’s birth. What a huge plus! I well remember how different things were for Kathy and me when our first child was born. I was working as a reporter/photographer at the daily newspaper in St. Thomas, Ontario (south of London) at the time. Our managing editor, a crusty Englishman, didn’t want me to take six hours off work, let alone six weeks. He also scoffed at the notion of me wanting to be in the delivery room for Craig’s arrival. Admittedly, in the 1970s fathers in the delivery room was in its infancy, so to speak! He did, however, grant my request for which I was grateful. So was Kathy! It is tough being a first-time mother, living in a new city and being surrounded by strange people. She says my presence definitely made her feel more at ease. Childbirth is not a pleasant experience, as I am sure mothers will attest! I was glad to be there. I was also fortunate enough to be present for Heather’s birth in Carleton Place just 15 months later. She arrived on a Saturday so there was no issue with time off work. There’s nothing quite like witnessing the birth of your children. I wouldn’t trade

those experiences for anything. Fathers have it easy of course, a fact I readily acknowledge! With Heather and Indy living nearby we were “on-call” for a few weeks in the lead-up to the arrival of grandchild No. 2. Nature takes its course and not even the most experienced obstetrician can predict when a little one will make his/her appearance. It looked like we would catch a break when Indy’s folks arrived from Montreal. They would look after Lily, in her own home environment, while Mom and Dad were at the hospital. Well, that was the intention at least. But the best laid plans! Mr. and Mrs. Jayasekara were forced to return to Montreal on July 16 due to a medical problem involving the person who was caring for their home. They had to get a house key to a family member who agreed to substitute for their neighbour who had become ill. That Saturday just happened to be Heather’s due date. So suddenly Grandma and Grandpa Maguire were in the frame. Indy’s folks would return sometime on Sunday. Meanwhile we were on call to babysit our granddaughter. Saturday evening Heather called to say she did not feel the delivery was imminent. But when we retired I told Kathy, “I have a feeling tonight is the night!” She didn’t think so. For once at least, I was right! Just after midnight the phone on the night table jangled, rousing us from a deep sleep. Before I even answered it I said to Kathy. “Oh, oh – this is it!” A very calm Heather was on the other end of the line. “Dad, can you come now. Labour has started.” We confirmed cell and car phone numbers, just in case they had to take Lily with them to the hospital before we could arrive. She was sound asleep at the time so it made sense for us to go there and spend the remainder of the night! Quick trip I’m not a speeder. But admittedly our car ride to Barrhaven probably broke some records for that particular journey! Fortunately it was 12:30 a.m. and the roads were

virtually empty. It was going on 1 a.m. when we arrived. The expectant parents were ready to go. Well, sort of! Indy is a very calm and deliberate man. It goes with his profession I think. He didn’t appear to be

in any hurry and Heather continued to be calm, despite being in some discomfort by this juncture. After three or four trips out to their SUV, Indy assisted Heather to the vehicle and, after a walk around the vehicle – yes, I was watch-

ing from an upstairs window – they set off for QueenswayCarleton Hospital (QCH). I am neither calm nor deliberate and by this time I was hitting high numbers on the See MAGUIRE page 11

Returning to the nest – what that means to your financial life Compared to previous generations, children are living with their parents much longer and many are returning to the nest for any number of reasons – most of them financial. Check out these re-nesting numbers*: • 42% of young adults age 20 to 29 live with their parents – a significant increase from 30 years ago. • 63% of young men and 55% of young women age 20 to 24 live with their parents. • Almost one-quarter of young adults who live in the parental home have left at some point in the past. The good news side of those stats is that when your children live at home longer, you’re less likely to experience sadness about an empty nest – when it eventually happens. The not-so-good-news is that supporting your children well into adulthood can drain your nest egg. And if you’re a member of the sandwich generation and also caring for your parents, you’re probably spread fairly thin in terms of your time, finances and emotions. If that describes your personal situation, it’s critically important to understand the entire financial picture – yours, your childrens’ and your parents’ – including insurance, savings, assets and debt. You should also explore all possible tax breaks and government benefit programs available to Canadians who are caring for adult dependents. The crowded nest trend is driven, in part, by financial constraints facing today’s young adults. They may be staying in school longer to effectively compete in the job market and, with the steadily rising costs of a post-secondary education, find themselves strapped with big student loans when they graduate. Or it may

Invest in life. Contact us for more information.

Manage Your Money simply be that housing costs are the financial roadblock to your child’s ultimate desire for independent living. For many young adults, living with parents is a fiscally responsible decision even when they are working full time. It can be an ideal way to save for a house or start a business. But you do risk a drain on your finances. The key is proactive planning to help them (and you) cope with the costs. For example, if your at-home child is pursuing an education and if your Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) doesn’t cover the cost of their post-secondary studies, talk to a professional about strategies that will help avoid hefty debt. Your professional advisor can also provide sound advice to your adult children about how to leave the nest in good financial shape. In fact, your professional advisor can help bring your entire financial picture into focus and allow you to balance all your priorities without sacrificing your own long-term financial plan. * Source: Statistics Canada. 2011 Census This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

Ontario municipalities receive first federal gas tax fund payment of 2016 The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) has transferred the first of two 2016 payments of federal gas tax funds to Ontario municipalities. In 2016 AMO will administer more than $600 million from the fund to invest in local infrastructure. “The federal Gas Tax Fund is helping to build strong communities across Ontario,” said Gary McNamara, AMO president. “AMO’s unique arrangement with the Government of Canada has resulted in safer roads and bridges, more public transit and a decrease in Ontario’s annual energy demand.” You can find out exactly where the federal Gas Tax Fund is invested in your community by using the mapping tool at www.gastaxatwork.ca. To find individual municipal allocations, visit bit.ly/AMOGasTax. This year, municipal governments are realizing the benefits of Gas Tax Fund indexation as allocations increase by roughly five per cent. Indexation ensures that the Fund grows over time so that it keeps pace with increases in the cost of

living and the cost to do business. The ultimate result is more dollars being invested into critical local infrastructure that helps keep our communities safe, up to date and prosperous. “The federal Gas Tax Fund provides predictable, long-term funding to help Canadian municipalities build and revitalize public infrastructure while creating jobs and long-term prosperity,” said the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities. “By working in partnership with Ontario municipalities, we help build 21st century communities while creating good, well-paying jobs that help the middle class grow and prosper.” Since its launch in 2005, municipalities across Ontario have invested more than $4.3 billion of federal Gas Tax funds into 6,700 infrastructure projects worth more than $11.9 billion. The federal gas tax Fund is one of the only permanent and stable sources of funding for municipal infrastructure and is helping to close a province-wide infrastructure gap.

panic meter. “What’s taking them so long? Why don’t they get going,” I said to Kathy. She wasn’t interested. “They’ll be fine,” she predicted. Through all the commotion our little granddaughter never stirred. When we finally went to bed, about 2 a.m. – I had spent 15 minutes unsuccessfully chasing a fly which had invaded the house and our bedroom while the doors were continually swinging – Lily was still sleeping in exactly the same position. Grandma and Grandpa didn’t sleep a wink. I was up, fiddling with the safety gates downstairs – why do those darn things never open for grandparents – when our cell phone started pulsing. It was just before 6:30 a.m. Kathy answered and I quickly realized it was Heather on the line. My wife was right of course. Everything had gone well. After just more than four hours of labour little Max arrived at 4:12 a.m. He was a strapping eight pounds, nine ounces and 22 inches in length at birth. He’s going to be tall, like his daddy! My favourite memory of that morning was the look on Lily’s face when she emerged from her bedroom at 7:40 a.m. and found Grandma and Grandpa there. The expression on her little face was priceless. Pure amazement! It was the first time in her young life she had awakened and not had one or both parents on hand to welcome her.

By 10 a.m. Indy’s parents had returned from Montreal. After an excited chat among the grandparents, they took over babysitting duties and we adjourned to QCH. Seven hours after his birth we were holding our new grandson. Only grandparents will recognize this experience for what it is. Truly the best feeling any person can have in their life, outside of the birth of their own children. Max’s four grandparents feel truly blessed!

Well owners urged to test water, conserve water during continuing drought conditions With many of our conservation authorities declaring moderate to severe drought conditions across Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Counties, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit would like to inform well owners of risks to their well water supply. During times of prolonged drought, wells can be susceptible to contamination due to varying water levels. As water levels in the water table drop, some wells may draw contaminants from further away into your drinking water supply. In addition, soil may compact and pull away from well casings making them vulnerable to runoff when it does rain. In times of drought, well owners may notice changes in their water supply including quality and quantity. All private well owners are urged to sample their wells to ensure the bacteriological quality of their water has not changed. Water testing bottles are available at any of our Health unit offices as well as other sites within the tri-county area including many municipal offices. Filled bottles can be returned to any health unit office or designated drop off site – check our web site for locations www.healthunit. org. Testing is free. Should your sample results indicate poor bacteriological quality, boil the water

at a rolling boil for one minute and then cool and store safely for use. While disinfection of contaminated wells is often recommended; during drought conditions this process (which requires flushing) may result in your well running dry. Call the health unit to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this procedure. It can take a considerable amount of time for wells to recover from persistent lack of precipitation. Well owners are encouraged to conserve water before wells start to be problematic, and to consider alternate safe sources of water available in the event that there is a shortage of water from the well. Ways in which you can reduce your water usage are: • Flush toilets only when necessary as toilets can account for 24 per cent of typical use in a home. • Take shorter showers as showers account for 20 per cent of typical use in a home. • Fix leaks, dripping faucets and running toilets as these can account for 12 to 19 per cent of water usage. • Ensure when washing clothes your load is full as this can account for 17 per cent of water usage. • Don’t water lawns, wash cars, driveways etc. • Use water collected in your dehumidifier to water plants, etc.

• Avoid use of your dishwasher or ensure it is full before use. (Information provided by the CRCA source: Water Research Foundation) Should your well stop providing water, do not pour surface water into your well as this can contaminate the water supply with bacteria, parasites and possibly chemical contaminants that can be difficult to remove. Removing your well cap

to check water levels frequently, or lowering measuring devices into your well can lead to contamination and is not recommended. For more information on what you can do to protect your well water supply and to check the status of drought conditions in your watershed please check the following links to our partner agencies: • Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change: https://www.

Homes still need to be found for more than 60 kittens available at LAWS At LAWS we were inundated with pregnant queens this summer. Several gave birth to six kittens. The count went up to around 60 cute little faces who are now all looking for their forever homes. Many of them are ready to leave the shelter as they have been altered and are big enough to explore your home. These little bouncy creatures are in all colors, sizes and with a variety of coats; long hair, short hair or medium long. Several local pet stores stepped in to help offering their cages to us to fill them with our available kittens. Please meet them at Pet Valu Almonte, Natural Pet Foods in Carleton Place and at the shelter. Why not take two, it’s easier than one as they keep each other company. It’s fun to see them grow up. They truly make you smile. Barn cats We’re still hoping to find homes for several barn cats too. Some cats, despite of our efforts, are not to be socialized enough to qualify as domestic cats. They’re not feral either but would just do better in a heated barn where they are being fed and have access to water. As they keep your barn free from rodents, you make them happy offering them a free life. Their adoption fee is kept very low we require a minimum donation of $25. All our barn cats are spayed or neutered, and up to date with inoculations; even rabies. Please help us find good barns for our barn cats. Garage sale Please mark your calendars for an upcoming garage at LAWS. It will be on Aug. 27 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please come out and find some lovely items and make an offer. All proceeds will go to the animals in need. This week’s featured pets Rolo We can’t believe a cat like Rolo came to LAWS as a stray and has not been claimed. It is clear he was a family boy as he is absolutely gorgeous and very affectionate. Meet him and he’ll roll over for a belly rub. He loves to give affectionate head bumps. He’s

This Week’s Pets shed a lot and need a lot of care to keep their fur shiny and well groomed. Logan is very friendly and loves to goof around. True to his breed Logan is athletic, strong and intelligent. Huskies are known to be escape artists about two years of age and would be the perfect cat for any household. Please meet him in one of the cat runs at LAWS. Buttons Meet Buttons one of our striking beautiful tuxedo cats. She resides with other cats in one of the cat-runs and likes most of them. She can be a little feisty and doesn’t like it when other cats hiss at her. She just walks away and tends to ignore them. She loves to live a peaceful life and wishes someone would come soon to take her home.

Logan Please meet Logan a four-yearold Siberian Husky mix with striking crystal blue eyes. Logan grew up in a home with cats which he enjoyed. He also enjoys the company of most dogs he has met. When he greets someone, he likes to jump up and give hugs...but he doesn’t always realize his own size and strength and may accidentally knock you over. We think due to this being around smaller children may not be best. We don’t think he minds being around children though. They could even be part of brushing his fur, as Huskies

and need a sturdy high fenced in yard. Logan knows some of his basic commands like sit, down and he loves to shake a paw. He could improve on his leash skills. He is mostly house trained. Logan used to live on a large acre lot where he enjoyed running beside a bike or a four-wheeler to exercise. Logan needs to work as that’s part of his breed too. He is not suited for living in a small house or an apartment. He does not like to be left alone but if you have a crate for him to relax in he will settle down. This high-energy dog needs a serious adopter who is familiar with the breed and who will allow him to have some fun pulling a sled in the winter or let him pull a cart with lumber. It will keep him going and it will bring you together. If you think you’d like to meet Logan please call 613-283-9308 to make an appointment.

Classic Theatre’s edge-of-your-seat mystery an inspector calls opens Aug. 19 A body has shown up, and everyone on stage is a suspect. It’s the starting point for An Inspector Calls, and what at first glance sounds like a familiar plot becomes, in the hands of legendary British playwright J.B. Priestley, a masterful work that has thrilled audiences for more than 70 years. An Inspector Calls opens at the Classic Theatre Festival (54 Beckwith Street East in Perth) on Aug. 19 and runs until Sept. 11, with a plot that bounces back and forth with audiences trying to determine up to the very last line of the show who is ultimately responsible for the death of a young woman. Set in 1912 on the eve of the First World War, the play is a gripping study of an era that is about to become completely unraveled by events that continue to shape the modern world, from the loss of “an unsinkable ship” known as the Titanic to the fiery cauldron that is now being recalled a century later as the First World War. As the show begins, two British families are celebrating a “family merger” of sorts when young Sheila Birling announces her engagement to the well-to-do Gerald Croft, whose family business represents not only great wealth and security,

but also a potential business merger for her father, Arthur Birling, with Croft’s father. As characters reflect on the inevitability of their continued success in what seems an impermeable bubble isolated from the world without, a knock comes on the door, and with it, the mysterious Inspector Goole arrives to ask some questions. In the same way many European societies are about to come apart in 1912 and 1913, so it is with this family, as Goole’s investigation begins to draw out very suspicious activities on the part of each and every character on stage. There will be times when even audiences members will feel they could be called onto the stage for questioning or tapped on the shoulder to determine if they had any role in the death of the young woman. An Inspector Calls is one of the most successful British plays of the 20th century, and has been the focus of a continuous National Theatre world our since 1991, in addition to being remade once again on film with a 2016 BBC show. The Classic Theatre Festival production, directed by Laurel Smith, features William Vickers (seen earlier this summer as the screenwriter Herb in Neil Simon’s comedy, I Ought to be in

Tickets available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283. Pictures) as the determined Inspector. The cast also features a fine collection of Canadian talents

who are both festival veterans as well as newcomers to Perth. They include Greg Campbell as the Birling family patriarch (af-

ter his star turns in Dial M for Murder and Wait Until Dark) and Elana Post as his wife (Post is an award-winning actor, direc-

tor, and independent filmmaker from southern Ontario who began her career in the 1993 Stratford Festival production of The Mikado). Gerald Croft is played by the multi-talented Fraser Elsdon, who performs on stage and TV while working as a playwright as well. Sheila is portrayed by Anna Burkholder, a highly skilled British-trained performer who played in Timon of Athens with the U.K. National Theatre. Younger son Eric is played by Perth-born and raised Sean Jacklin, a recent graduate of the George Brown Theatre School in Toronto. Sean appeared last year as the bedeviled telephone repairman in Barefoot in the Park, and this season directed the two historic theatrical walking plays for the Festival (River of Memory and A Taste of Perth, which run until the end of August). Making her professional debut is another local talent, Breanna Critchley, who is playing the family maid, Edna.

Versatile East Coast musician highlights house concert Aug. 23 in Pakenham Dan Doiron, a Cape Bretoner and East Coast Music Awards (ECMA) multiple nominee will be playing in Pakenham at a house concert on Aug. 23. Playing on the banks of the Mississippi River, Doiron will be highlighting his versatility as a guitarist and songwriter – from straight up pop, to rock, to blues, to soulful ballads with thought-provoking lyrics, to high energy humourous tunes. Doiron will highlight pieces from his three albums that he’s released in the past four years. A high school friend of the host, Doris Rankin, Doiron who gave up engineering in his first week of university to take classical guitar at Dalhousie University, has never looked back. After a successful teaching career he is now focusing on using his raw energy to continue his solo artist career. His visit to the Ottawa Valley is an excuse for Rankin to catch-up on his songwriting and to watch him perform in an intimate setting. “Dan knew every song in the book and played everywhere and anytime. Coming from a musical family, it was no surprise to me that he’s make it as a full-fledged entertainer,” said Rankin. The venue will be on the shores of the Mississippi River, 3030 County Rd. 29, Pakenham, begin-

In October 2013 he won ECBS Maritimes to Memphis Blues Challenge and represented Atlantic Canada at the 2014 International Blues Challenge in Memphis.

Be there when Studio Theatre premieres its new seats Aug. 18 This news is guaranteed to sit well with Perth theatre audiences. And on Aug. 18, you can be a part of the story. Back in June, the National Arts Centre in Ottawa announced it was replacing all the seating in its main theatre, Southam Hall. The good news for our town is that the NAC decided to donate 200 of its old, gently used seats to – you guessed it – the Studio Theatre, right here in Perth. It was an amazing windfall for Perth’s community theatre in the Tay Basin. And while the Studio Theatre has always been a great showplace, it will now be a truly comfortable one as well. “Our seats were on their last legs...well, cushions...and it would have been next to impossible for us to afford new ones”, says Studio Theatre president Penny Silberhorn. “Luckily, the National Arts Centre understands the importance of notfor-profit volunteer-run community theatre, and they were thrilled to see their old seats go to a worthy home.” Thanks to the efforts of many skilled volunteers, the seats are now installed and ready for their big “premiere” on Thursday, Aug. 18. Ticket holders who arrive before 7 p.m. for the opening night performance of the musical comedy Bingo Ladies will witness Studio Theatre history – the ribbon cutting of the

As the community engages in a series of public consultations on the future design of Almonte’s downtown core, Café Postino is leading the way with a delicious makeover at the intersection of Mill and Little Bridge streets. Adorned with shrubs and flowers, and designed by Almonte architect Peter Mansfield, a new permanent patio now wraps around the westward side of the restaurant’s historic home at the old post office building, replacing a seasonal structure that previously ran along Mill Street. “Outdoor patios are the best way to integrate people with streets,” Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin said. “Patios turn sidewalks from pedestrian corridors to gathering places.” “The Café Postino patio, with its raised design at a key intersection, lets people see and be seen,” he continued. “The patio makes Almonte’s downtown core an even better place to visit.” “Our new patio provides more spacious seating for 24,” coowner Claire Falsetto said, “and we’re very excited to welcome both tourists and in-town guests to enjoy our new contribution to Almonte’s streetscape.” The patio has new umbrellas and comfortable seating, which make it a great outdoor meeting place. While enjoying a beautiful view of Almonte’s downtown from the patio, “people can order pasta, pizza, salad, wines, beers, coffees, desserts and daily special items,” chef Steve Falsetto said.

Plum gelato great alternative to traditional ice cream Foodland Ontario

Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. The biggest difference between North American ice cream and Italian ice cream is the amount of fat and milk used. Italian ice cream has less of both. Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 1-1/2 hours Cooking time: 8 minutes

Chilling time: Overnight Freezing time: Overnight Serves: 4 to 6

• 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk • 2 tbsp (25 mL) honey Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchIngredients: ment paper. Cut each plum • 1 lb (500 g) Ontario Italian in half, but not all the way Prune Plums through and remove pit. Place • 2 tbsp (25 mL) Ontario plums cut side up in prepared Honey pan (they will be snug). Drizzle Custard: with honey. Roast in 425ºF • 1 egg (220ºC) oven until very soft, • 1 cup (250 mL) 10% half- darker in colour and carameland-half cream ized on the bottom, 1 to 1-1/2

hours. Let cool 10 minutes. Transfer to food processor and process until smooth. Pour into container, cover and refrigerate overnight. Preparation instructions Custard: In medium bowl, lightly beat egg; set aside. In small saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together cream, milk and honey until honey is dissolved. Cook until mixture begins to steam. Remove 1/2 cup (125 mL) of warm mixture

and slowly whisk into beaten egg. Pour warmed egg mixture back into saucepan, whisking gently. Cook, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat back of metal spoon, about 8 minutes. Pour into heatproof bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate overnight. Gently whisk plum purée into custard. Transfer to ice cream machine and follow manufacturer’s directions.

Freeze in covered container. For the best flavour and texture, remove from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before scooping and serving. Gelato can be stored in freezer for up to 3 weeks.

Letter writers bring potential pitfalls to the surface My inbox received a couple of letters this week that, while not representing common situations, revealed some pitfalls that are worth bringing up. The first was from an unfortunate car owner whose vehicle was involved in a collision (fortunately with no injuries). The $10,000 plus repairs were completed by an insurance recommended body shop which involved the replacement of the windshield. This installation developed a problem in the form of a water leak which caused damage to the fabric headliner of the vehicle among other things. After three trips back to the body shop for rectification without success, the insurance company got involved again and handled the problem efficiently and another windshield was installed along with a replacement headliner at a different shop at no cost to the consumer. The end result that really piqued this reader was that when he checked his vehicle’s car accident history through CarProof (a company that compiles such data for car retailers and consumers) he found two separate incidents related to this event and the total went from $10,700 to over $15,000. When he added up the two repair invoices they didn’t even come close to matching this final figure. His valid concern is that when it comes time to trade this vehicle in for a replacement, this report will drastically affect its value. He has been in touch with both his insurance company and Ontario’s Insurance Ombudsman to try to get things straightened out. The moral here is to never take anything for granted when it comes to vehicle insurance repairs and history reports. The second tale of wheeled woe came from a reader who diligently took their 14-year-old SUV into their service provider for a thorough pre-summer travel check-up and spent almost $2,000 for some needed maintenance and intake gasket engine repairs (this ride had almost 200,000 km on at the time). A few weeks and several thousands of kilometers later, the vehicle broke down with an overheating

problem at the other end of the province. A faulty temp sensor and thermostat was said to be the cause and $700 later our traveler was back on the road. But only a short time and distance later, the temp warning light came on the dash and another repair shop nearby took a much closer look at things and determined the cylinder head gaskets had failed and provided a $5,000 estimate to put things right. When I was asked for advice, my first recommendation was not to spend any more money on this vehicle. Its average value (in reasonable running order) was less than half of this estimate. The main concern of our traveler was that they thought the temp sensor and thermostat was an incorrect diagnosis and they were trying to get their $700 back. Cooling system problems can be very tricky to figure out. There’s no advanced diagnostic tester you can hook up to magically tell the tech the answer. And when a shop is faced with a travelling client, they realize they’re under the gun to try to get things running right quickly so as to salvage someone’s vacation. In muddy situations like this, it’s very hard to prove who was right and who was wrong and turning to the courts wouldn’t be much of a guarantee and I suspect few lawyers would suggest expending a lot of time and energy for a $700 repair invoice. This vehicle owner relied upon the expertise of others and really did some due diligence in trying to ensure their road trip would be successful. With the benefit of a 20/20 rear vision, depending on a 14-year-old SUV that arguably had one of the worse reliability records for its manufacturer, to make anything other than a quick trip to the corner store probably wasn’t the worst idea in the world, but it also wasn’t the best. They should have stopped before laying out the first $2,000 repair as it was in excess of 75 per cent of the wholesale value of the vehicle at the time. General Motors seems to be the first out of the starting gate to take action to prevent child deaths

caused by them being left in vehicles on hot days. Beginning with their 2017 Acadia SUV they have introduced a simple software program that will warn drivers to check the rear seats before exiting the vehicle. This warning, displayed on the instrument cluster and accompanied by a chime sound is activated when the ignition is turned off any time either rear door is opened during a trip or within 10 minutes of start-up. GM has committed to rolling this feature out in all of their models within the next few years as

standard equipment. On Sunday, Aug 21 the Cornwall Olde Car Club and NAPA Cornwall present Autorama 2016 at the Navcentre at 1950 Montreal Road East, Hwy # 2 in the east end of Cornwall.

Ghost Stories has one more weekend at Full Circle Theatre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss it! The bad news is, if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet seen BarnDoor Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing at Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Circle Theatre, you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen one of the most intense, musical and entertaining productions of the year. The good news is, if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet seen Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing, you still have four more chances to do so â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the community theatre companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usual two weekend run has been extended to three weekends for this â&#x20AC;&#x153;musical chiller.â&#x20AC;? Ghost Stories is an engrossing, at least party-true tale of murder and more from the very early days of settlement of the Perth area. Some audience comments include â&#x20AC;&#x153;An amazing show!â&#x20AC;?; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved every minute of it.â&#x20AC;?; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was excited from beginning to end.â&#x20AC;? Taking the bare â&#x20AC;&#x153;bonesâ&#x20AC;? of the legend of Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing as its basis, the show tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, who ran the ferry and an inn at what is now Rideau Ferry, Ontario, in the early 1820s. Their untimely and unfortunate ends have been woven into a tale of romance and revenge that is leaving audiences stunned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and cheering. The show is laugh-out-loud funny, at the same time being dark and deep and chilling. It is scary, while also being romantic and wonderfully melodic. As one audience member put it â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was terrified while I was laughing out loud.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a serene highness! Mr. and Mrs. Oliver (David Jacklin and Julie Kevan) have some fun at the expense of (deceased) Mr. Bumfry (Ian Jenner, centre) in Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;musical chillerâ&#x20AC;? is funny and scary and intense and very exciting and runs for one more weekend at Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Circle Theatre. Submitted photo

It is definitely unlike anything youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to find anywhere else â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is entirely original, something that may be lost on a lot of people. You just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect an all-out, Broadway-style musical to be created by a local company â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially not a musical that has received reviews like â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Ghost Stories) is superior stuff! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grim, clever, funnyâ&#x20AC;Ś thrilling, indeed!â&#x20AC;? from CBC Radio and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lovers of good theatre can all rejoice!â&#x20AC;? from the Brockville Recorder & Times. Ghost Stories goes far beyond its local roots, while remaining a show that is all about local roots. Strong performances from the cast of 11 highlight the show as they take on the many roles in the story and as they tackle a musical score that goes from operatic to silly to dramatic to funny. This is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;integratedâ&#x20AC;? musical,

Hillier alarmed by Champlain CCAC service cuts to seniors MPP Randy Hillier (Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington) expressed his alarm that seniors in the Champlain Community Care Access Centre’s (CCAC) catchment area are having their Personal Support Worker (PSW) care visits cut in half. After meeting with a

number of PSWs that work in the Champlain CCAC region, and as highlighted in a recent story by Bob Hepburn of the Toronto Star, Hillier has learned that many seniors will see their assisted care reduced to a 15-minute visit. “What kind of care could we possibly be providing

Hillier has penned a letter to the board chair and the president of the Champlain CCAC, demanding a reversal of the policy decision, and suggesting that they instead focus on the larger financial problems and find greater efficiencies within administration before diminishing patient services. It appears these changes have been initiated in the Champlain CCAC catchment area, however it is anticipated they will expand to other CCACs prior to their anticipated incorporation into the LHINs with Bill 210.

How to avoid encounters with bears while enjoying the outdoors Bears usually avoid humans. Generally, you won’t see a bear even if one is close by. Remember, you are a visitor in the bear’s home range, so do all you can to avoid encounters. Make noise as you move through wooded areas, especially in areas where background noise is high, such as near streams and waterfalls. Singing, whistling or talking will alert bears to your presence, giving them a chance to avoid you. Travel with others if possible. Be aware of your surroundings; do not wear headphones and keep an eye out for signs of bears, such as tracks, claw marks on trees, flipped-over rocks or fresh bear droppings. Consider bringing a whistle, air horn, longhandled axe or bear spray. If you bring bear spray, know how to use it. Avoid strong fragrances that may cause a bear to be curious; put any food you are carrying in sealed containers in your pack. If you are out with a dog, control it. Uncontrolled dogs may actually lead a bear to you. While berry picking, occasionally scan your surroundings to check for bears and rise slowly from your crouched positions so you don’t startle any nearby bears. They may not recognize you as a human when you are in a crouched position. If the bear is not paying any attention to you, slowly and quietly back away while watching the bear to make sure it isn’t following you. Do not approach the bear. If the bear obviously knows you are there, raise your arms to let the bear know you are a human. Make yourself look as big as possible. Speak in a firm but non-threatening voice while looking at the bear and backing away. Watch the bear to gauge its reaction to you. Generally, the noisier the bear is, the less dangerous it is, providing you don’t approach the bear. If a bear huffs, pops its jaw or stomps its paws on

the ground, it wants you to back away and give it space. If a bear approaches you, drop any food you may be carrying and continue backing up. If the bear continues to approach, stand your ground and stay calm – use your whistle or air horn, speak loudly, stand tall, wave your arms and throw objects. If a bear keeps advancing and is getting close, be aggressive and continue to stand your ground. Use bear spray and anything else to threaten or distract the bear; bears will often first test to see if it is safe to approach you. Do not run or climb a tree. Bears can run faster and climb better than you. If the bear makes contact, fight back. Avoiding bears while camping When enjoying Ontario’s campsites, lakes, forests and hiking trails, remember that you’re in the natural habitat of bears. Bears have a keen sense of smell and are attracted by the odour of human food and garbage. To avoid conflicts with bears, prepare...and be aware. Know before you go: You are responsible for your own safety. Plan your trip with safety in mind. Before you go, learn about black bears to recognize signs of bear activity (like tracks and droppings) and how to prevent and handle encounters with bears. Think about how you will handle your garbage and how you will keep your campsite clean and odour free. Pack long ropes for hanging your food pack. Practice hanging a pack before you go. If you are bringing children, always keep an eye on them. When hiking, it is wise to keep children between adults. Before you leave home, discuss bears with children. Teach children simple things like making sure they can always see an adult; to never approach a bear or other animals; to never run from a bear; and, if they see a bear, to stay calm and call for help. Keep dogs away from

bears. The bear may follow the dog back to its owner. All odours attract bears. Pack all food, including dog food, with special care. Double or triple-bagged food will reduce smells. Consider choosing meals that require minimal preparation. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry or Ontario Parks can provide general information about recent campsite or route closures due to bear problems. Keep in mind, however, that bear activity cannot be predicted.

At your campsite: Look for signs of bear activity nearby. Consider moving elsewhere if it appears a bear has been active in the area. No matter where you camp, always pack out all garbage from the backcountry and use bear-resistant containers where available. Store food so bears cannot access it; in a bear-resistant location or container or hanging at least four metres (13 feet) above the ground and three metres (10 feet) from tree limbs or trunks that can support a bear. If you plan to camp in re-

mote areas, you should take additional precautions to ensure your personal safety. If you are going to an Ontario park or a private campground, follow advice provided. Eliminate or reduce odours from yourself, your camp, your clothes and your vehicle. Clean fish away from your campsite. Store leftover food away from your campsite in sealed plastic bags and, if possible, in bear-resistant containers. Burn food scraps and fat drippings thoroughly in a fire. Drain dish water away from

your campsite. Never cook, eat or store any food (including snacks), cooking equipment or toiletries in your tent. If you are sleeping in a tent, try not to sleep in clothes you have worn while cooking. Fishing tackle and bait, clothes worn while cooking, garbage, toiletries and all snacks should be stored in a bear-resistant and away from the site. Visit ontario.ca/bearwise for more information on bears. Submitted by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry

Perth fairground will be home base for Operation ‘Avenging Gunner’ Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

For the first time since the 1998 Ice Storm, the Canadian armed forces will be descending on Perth this fall for military training manoeuvres. Second in command Major Chris Sykora of the 2nd Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, stationed at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, made a presentation to Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 9 in which he, and Capt. Derrick Mann, laid out the details for the mission. “We want to train our soldiers properly before we send them overseas,” Sykora said. This means sending troops out on training missions, like an upcoming, 85-day mission to Wainwright, Alta., to work on their disaster assistance response skills. But, as an added bonus, “it’s important that we get out with the community,” he said. Training and liaising with civilians has practical applications while our troops are serving abroad, like during the mission to Afghanistan, where troops could be out on patrol one day, engaging with the Taliban, and meeting up with villagers the next.

Friday, Oct. 14: Regiment returns to Petawawa. Oct. 15 to 20: Live-fire exercises in Petawawa. Thursday, Oct. 20: End of exercises. “Yes, we will have weapons, but we will not have any ammunition,” stressed Sykora. “We will come down

with our own water.” One of their deployment areas within Perth will be the clock tower at town hall, and they hope to be able to hold a community engagement day, should time permit, on Oct. 14. The Royal Canadian Legion, Last Duel Park, and Market Square, have all been discussed as possible locations for this. The troops will not only be operating at the fairgrounds and the clock tower. They are seeking permission, through signed, land-use agreements, to use the following areas for dry artillery deployments: The property adjacent to the landfill site Last Duel Park (small team and mortar deployments) Snow dump property at the end of Industrial Drive The armed forces were also looking for other support from the town, including: Bulk water refill (approximately 2,000 litres) for water carriers Permission landfill between two and four tonnes of general, non-toxic waste (mostly food) Town staff support to facilitate access and out-clearance “You will have our full support. You’re welcome to be here and we will give you all the cooperation you need,” said Mayor John Fenik, though he cautioned that when the four-to-six troops make the clock tower into their observation post, “you will have to dispatch some enemy pigeons.” On a more serious note, Fenik recalled that “the last time we had Department of National Defence (DND) personnel deployed here for any length of time was (during) the Ice Storm,” in 1998. Fenik’s words were echoed by Coun. Jim Boldt, who said “we thank you for what you do for our country and you’re most welcome.” He did express concerns about what manner of military vehicles would be used. “No tanks, right?” asked Boldt. “We just re-did our main street.” Sykora replied that no “track,” vehicles, like tanks, would be used. “I will never forget the Ice Storm,” Boldt said. “I was never so proud to see the military come to town…it gave

Town of Perth Transportation Master Plan Study Notice of Public Information Centre #2

Perth Garlic Festival

Laurie Weir/Metroland

Manfred de Calvares and Joanne Edwards, chef at the Cove in Westport, serve up the last of their tasty tequilla lemon chicken and peach salsa during the cooking demonstration at the Perth Garlic Festvial on Sunday. The festival was held Aug. 13 and 14 at the fairgrounds.

The Town of Perth has initiated a Transportation Master Plan to evaluate traffic management strategies, transportation corridors and trails and functional routes for all forms of transportation during the next 20 year planning period. The Master Plan will address operation design, planning and policy issues within the context of transportation and land use planning. We want to hear from you! Join us at the second and final Public Information Centre (PIC) for information regarding proposed alternative solutions, progress to date and to give comments and feedback on project recommendations Date:

THE STUDY:

Marilyn Greer coordinates the artists for the silent auction during the Perth Garlic Festival. What started as an idea six years ago with just six artists, has become quite a hit, she said, with some 22 artists taking part this year. Those artists who participate donate a portion of their sales to the Lions Club, hosts of the festival, which in turn gives back to the community.

The Master Plan is being built upon the last comprehensive Traffic and Transportation Planning Study completed in 1991. It will consider the emergence of active transportation considerations as described in the Town’s Official Plan, and will include multi-modal transportation, including local and commuter auto, emergency service vehicles, linkage to bus and rail, and active modes including walking and cycling. The proposed Master Plan will be fully integrated with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Process satisfying the requirement of Phase 1 (Need and Justification) and Phase 2 (Alternative Solutions) of the EA process. The Comprehensive Transportation Plan will provide the context for implementation of specific transportation infrastructure projects and transportation management initiatives. It will allow the Town to assess the problems and opportunities for addressing long term transportation needs, evaluate a range of alternative solutions and select the preferred strategies.

“They are up now and they are permanent,” said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell. But, to this, Holbeche countered that “the diversion signs were taken down… they were temporary” during the Wilson Street construction. Mayor John Fenik agreed that trucks downtown were a problem. “If I had my way, there would be a bypass, and there

me a lump in my throat,” as he saw them arrive on his street and begin knocking on doors to check up on residents and saw off frozen tree limbs. Sykora said he appreciated the support, but noted that the armed forces were intent on “striking a balance between our exercise aims and engaging with citizens of Perth.” Coun. Judy Brown asked if citizens would see soldiers grabbing a coffee, say, at the Tim Hortons restaurant at

would not be any trucks coming downtown,” said Fenik. Until that time, however, he said southbound trucks should use Wilson Street, turn left onto North Street, and then turn onto Sherbrooke Street East, and use Chetwynd Street to get onto Highway 43. Having spoken to truckers himself, Fenik conceded that “Perth is a nightmare for big trucks,” which is why the truck route needed to be more clearly marked out.

“All it needs is signage,” reiterated Holbeche. “And enforcement too,” said Fenik. Coun. Jim Boldt wondered how this issue had been dealt with in the traffic master plan, which he has yet to see, but said that “none of us want to see this heavy traffic coming down the street,” he said. “If we need to start getting our police to start ticketing for not following the proper route, so be it.”

Craig and Gore streets, but she was assured that “they will be given their tasks to go execute. “They will go and do that and then come back,” to the fairgrounds. “They have been coordinating with schools in the area so they are “aware of when the buses come in…we will try not to do it (exercises) when the buses come in.” Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, a member of the Perth branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, and himself a navy veteran, invited the regiment

to the Legion if they had time, and said that their arrival fit in nicely with the town’s 200th anniversary since “our origins are (as) a military settlement.” Sykora said he had already coordinated with the OPP and informed them that this exercise would be taking place, and a rental agreement has already been signed at the Perth Fairgrounds. The army has also been in talks with town staff about possibly integrating these exercises into a municipal emergency preparedness exercise.

The Table’s Barns, Farms and Wicked Chefs sets high bar for Aug. 27 event Final preparations are underway for The Table Community Food Centre’s annual fundraiser Barns, Farms and Wicked Chefs on Aug. 27. The event is one of The Table’s most important fundraising activities and has become a highlight on many people’s summer calendar. While the food, fun and fundraising are what are most apparent, a lot of effort has also gone into making the event environmentally responsible. Sourcing ingredients, from beets to beer, from local producers is a

fundamental part of the event and one of the ways it improves on sustainability. Buying local reduces environmental costs of transporting and storing food across long distances and keeps money circulating in the local community. Local produce can also be picked at its peak ripeness and allows producers to focus on taste rather than the ability of the produce to be shipped across the continent. Highlighting local producers at the event also help develop stronger

ties between farmers and restaurants and consumers in the area. How the food is served at Barns, Farms and Wicked Chefs also takes sustainability into consideration. Reusable ceramic plates, stainless forks, and real glasses are used at the event, rather than disposable ones that would end up in the landfill. Other items like napkins, coffee cups and stir sticks are compostable and collected with any food waste. It is all sorted into green bins and collected for composting by the Town

of Perth. Even the table coverings at the chef stations are made from recycled, unbleached brown paper that is recycled or composted at the end of the night. Each year we reuse the signs for the chef’s booths and try to minimize the number of signs that are produced for just one year. The Table hopes that the hundreds of people that go to Barns, Farms and Wicked Chefs appreciate these efforts but know that the

real draw is, of course, the food, music and atmosphere of this unique event. Information about this year’s guest chefs, suppliers and musicians is available on the Table’s website atwww.thetablecfc.org. All proceeds from the event support The Table’s food access, food skills, and community engagement programs that build health, hope and community. Submitted by The Table Community Food Centre

Could local heritage masonry, woodworking skills help restore Havana? Bill Ryan, a resident of Gillies Corners, in Beckwith Township, visited the Cuban capital city about two years ago and was amazed to find that the tropical metropolis reminded him of Perth. Touring the old town with a government official tasked with restoration, he was amazed at “the number of times I commented that it was so similar to Canada and to Perth,” said Ryan, during a presentation to Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 9. “These old stone buildings, trying to maintain them.” But, unlike, Perth, there were differences. While Perth is only 200 years old this year, “these (Cuban) buildings were built 400, 500 years ago.” There were also more of them, there were significant climate differences, and limited resources. But his government tour guide said that “we have to teach them (the construction workers) the old ways,” to preserve the wood and stone buildings. “Well, that’s heritage masonry and heritage carpentry,” said Ryan, thinking, right away, of the Algonquin College Perth campus and its expertise in these fields. “There are economic opportunities here for Algonquin College,” said Mayor John Fenik. “Maybe we could move on a number of these things.” But Ryan’s thoughts of Perth while in Cuba extended in another direction – towards the baseball field. “Cuba is fanatical about baseball,” said Ryan. “They go out and play ball in a field or in the street.” While a G7 nation like Canada has proper resources for all manner of sports, and “Perth has one of the best Little League diamonds in the world,” said Ryan, Cuba, while rich in athletic spirit, is poor in resources. According to Ryan’s GoFundMe page, his charity, Cubacan was created by himself and Cuban Gerardo Hernandez. So far, the duo have produced more than 600 bats for Cuban players. In December of 2015, they visited a bat-making facility in Havana. “I knew that they made them (bats) down there and they made them out of maple,” said Ryan of his most recent trip. During his trip to the Havana bat factory, he found the owner, a man in his 70s, who had been making bats for more than 50 years. There was no safety equipment to be seen, and “he used the same manual lathe for those 50 years,” he said, likely a Bulgarian model from the 1950s, shipped over during the Cold War. Looking at the Cuban bats, “the quality was poor.” They were tasked with improving the quality and quantity of the bats by the Cuban government. Ryan and Hernandez are currently in the process of raising funds to purchase equipment and ship it to Cuba. “We will put everything in their hands,” said Ryan. “Setup, installation, and training will be done by volunteers,” wrote Ryan on the website. He hopes to get a lathe to the Havana bat factory by

ers in America are there with permission from the Cuban government – others arrived on America’s shores by boat, without Havana’s approval. As for Abreu, “if he’s writing a cheque with Cuba on it, he’d face criminal charges.” Even as the world’s athletes continue to compete in the Brazilian city

of Rio de Janeiro, the eyes of Cuba’s Olympic baseball players are already turning to Tokyo and the 2020 summer games. “They want to be able to take the bats with them,” said Ryan, bats made in Cuba, for Cubans. With files from Laurie Weir and Stacey Roy

Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

Cubacan founder Bill Ryan addresses Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 9. October to produce “a large volume of quality bats.” One of the largest problems in moving money and equipment around is the ongoing American trade embargo of the island. While U.S. President Barack Obama has opened up diplomatic ties with the Caribbean island nation for the first time since the 1960s, opening a U.S. embassy in Havana, with the Cuban’s opening an embassy in Washington, D.C., the embargo still stands, as it would require an act of congress to repeal it. As such, it is difficult for Cubans to get supplies for anything, let alone wood for baseball bats. Much of the maple they purchase comes from Mexico – which is not known for its maple trees. The Mexicans buy the wood elsewhere and then sell it to the Cubans for as much as three times the price. The embargo stymies his efforts in other ways too. Ryan cited an example of a Montreal-based bat making company that used to sell to both the Americans and the Cubans. But, “somewhere along the line, the Americans said, ‘If you want to deal with Cuba, you can’t deal with us.” So that stream of bats quickly dried up, as the company did not want to lose out to the American market. Further to this, most of the crowdsourcing cites online are based in the U.S. Many of them use the PayPal site to make deposits, and once the word “Cuba” appears anywhere, “it’ll be flagged and frozen.” Ryan did seek a monetary donation from council, but noted that “I’m going to make it easy,” with donation amounts starting at $1. “It provides us with an endorsement,” he said, having an official imprimatur from a respected municipal government. Having that endorsement helps him because “there’s a lot of B.S. and scams out there…I don’t have resources or an organization behind me. (But) I have

lots of volunteers across the country.” Fenik said he was supportive of the plan. “I like the synergy of this,” Fenik said. Coun. Jim Boldt mentioned Obama’s warm diplomatic overtures to Cuba, “through Obama having thrown the doors open,” and wondered if this would help his cause. “Nothing will change until the embargo is lifted,” said Ryan, though he noted that if Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wins the presidential election this November, her electoral coattails may well result in a Democratic-controlled congress. Boldt queried however if the fault was not entirely to be found with the Americans. “Is it a question of Cuba not having enough money or is it because they are a government that is in power (that) is a dictatorship?” Boldt wondered. “They don’t have money to do it,” said Ryan. “Even if they (the government) have resources, there is only so much they can do.” Coun. Riq Turner said that the town is considering a bid to host a Little League championship, and wondered if this could be tied into it – maybe even hosting a Little League team from Cuba. “There is a synergy there that could be explored,” said Turner. Graff went one better, even suggesting that, if Perth could have sister city arrangements with towns in Japan and Scotland, why not a Cuban town? Again, the embargo entered the conversation. It was noted that Cuban baseball stars, like Jose Abreu, could very well help fund initiatives like this. Abreu signed a six-year deal with the Chicago White Sox in 2013 for $68 million. It was the largest-ever rookie contract awarded to an international player. Ryan noted that some Cuban play-

OPINION I

Connected to your community

Tokyo, here I come

f you’ve been reading this column for more than a week or two, you may have gleaned that I am not a pillar of athleticism. Nevertheless, when the Olympics are on, one can’t help but get caught up in some of it. My absolute favourite part of the Games so far was watching 16-yearold Canadian swimmer Penny Oleksiak’s reaction when she FINALLY turned around to look at the scores and saw she had won a gold medal. It was beautiful! Another thing I loved was watching Italy’s Gregorio Paltrinieri win the gold in the 1,500-metre by barely kicking his legs at all! While everyone else had these big ol’ sprays behind them from kicking, he conserved energy by barely moving his legs and managed to keep up to the world-record time until almost the end. I was inspired. I could totally swim for a long time without thrashing my legs. That’s exactly how I roll, in fact. Of course it would take me a lot longer than 14 minutes and 44 seconds to go that distance, but I’d be all over it. Another event I really enjoyed watching was the 10,000-metre race. Omigod. You guys. To be able to run like that! Great Britain’s Mo Farah came away with the gold and it was lovely to watch. He hung out at the back of the pack for ages, started moving up, fell, got back up, eased ahead and turned on the gas in the bell lap for an incredible sprint finish to beat two other amazing runners in a time of 27:05:17. Gazelles, I tells ya. To keep things in perspective, these guys were averaging a kilometre in 2.7 minutes. It takes me about 8.5 minutes to run a kilometre. If I ever have to run for my life, I’m doomed. I might stand a better chance at survival if I employ some of the things I have learned in karate in addition to making a run for it. Speaking of which, it’s pretty exciting that karate will be featured at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan for the first time. Since I am now a student of karate, naturally I’ve been starting a lot of sentences at home with “When I’m competing at the Olympics in four years....” This is met with much eye rolling and skepticism, to which I say, “Fine. You can all stay home and I’ll go to Japan by myself.” (Admittedly I have a lot of work to

do to get there. I just got my yellow belt a minute or so ago. It’s good to have goals, though, as long as your knees will go along with them.) I have now officially been taking karate for a little over a year, which still surprises me. One of the best parts about it is the people. When everyone takes the training seriously, it’s inspiring. They are so supportive. As a result, I think I am more fit now – and stronger – than I have been in decades. (For those of you who have seen me in action, this may come as a sadbut-true sort of shock.) My improved fitness level is not just because of the karate itself which, when you work at it, is a great workout. It’s also because of little extras that come with being a member of the club. For instance, we’re encouraged to do a “summer challenge” of our choosing. It can be related to fitness or maybe nutrition (i.e. let’s not eat potato chips every time we’re in the kitchen), but it has a self-improvement theme. This summer, one of the senseis also created a challenge for the whole club to complete. The 30-day skipping challenge has had us jumping rope in increasing daily increments until we reached 1,000 (with a rest day every four days). So in addition to having several karate classes a week and the skipping challenge, I went mental with my summer challenge and pledged to also walk or run 5K two or three times a week, as well as doing a regime of abdominal exercises (sit ups, crunches, leg raises and plank) and push-ups. I’m pretty sure I will never, ever be able to do a decent push-up. Not only has there been a lot of counting involved in my daily activities, but also a bunch of yeesh and ouch. My knees have had something to say about some of these things. Note to self: Next year, pledge to avoid potato chips. Good thing I’ve got a few years before Tokyo.

Goodbye, I have further to fly

’m not one with many social graces. I don’t do small talk all that well, though I’ve tried (shout out to my Smiths Falls Toastmaster friends). Often, I’m the one who just turns around and walks away when a conversation is over. Typically I kick myself after having gone three steps in the opposite direction for my forgetfulness, but I’ve never been brave enough to turn around. I suspect that’s why this farewell column is so difficult for me to write. How to sum up 14 years in two columns of space… how do I turn around after I’ve already walked away? I remember how proud my mother was the first time my article appeared in the Carleton Place EMC back in 2002. She fielded several calls from friends and family alerting her to the article’s existence. I think she clipped out every article she saw that first year.

STACEY ROY For the Record To be honest, it wasn’t hard because I covered the tri-county area so not all my articles were focused on one community back then. My mother’s enthusiasm managed to make the leap to the digital world. She has been the first to hit the like button on every article I’ve written up until and including my last posted piece. I bet she’s the first to like this column as well. Some of the prominent local events I’ve been able to witness include the closure of both the Rideau Regional Centre and Hershey’s, the visit by Prime Minister Paul Martin to Smiths Falls, the official naming of

the Rideau Canal as a World Heritage Site. One of the highlights there was going with my husband, Desmond to the Ottawa locks for the unveiling of the signage and seeing Col. John By’s character step out of the canoe on Smiths Falls’ banks to start that voyage year. Beyond the excitement of these events were the all too numerous to mention moments where I was able to sit across the table from someone over a cup of coffee or water and just talk. Those moments are the ones that made my 14 years go by so quickly. I have enjoyed telling the stories of this community. I have been there when people have cried out in joy and in pain. I have held their hands and hugged them when it was needed. I want you to know that each of those moments was genuine on my part.

column From page P8

Over the last week or so I have been lucky to receive some hugs of my own from many people who have reached out to me with words of support and thanks. This really turned on a light in a room where I was sitting in the dark - thank you to everyone. Those who read my columns regularly may recall my early summer column where I spoke of my condition known as Fibromyalgia, which is a chronic pain condition. At the time I had taken a couple of months to rest up, and research and reach out for professional help. I’ve always been the type A personality and have thrived in situations where I can see a challenge, assess it and then scale it with my trusty plan in hand. I thought I had that plan against Fibromyalgia, but the plan has changed. I spent the last three years of my seven-year battle with this condition powering through the pain thinking tomorrow would be better. Tomorrow I will wake up and it will be gone as quickly as it has come. It’s hard to turn that voice track off in your head once it has been playing for so long. What can I say, it became habit and I didn’t know when to quit until my body did all at once. It’s become clear to me that I need more time to repair myself away from my camera lens and computer desk. I am now channeling my energy into tracking down the medical help I need to get better and hope to be on the mend as soon as possible. It’s time for physical and emotional healing. Over the last few months I have done this with an entire Josh Groban album, a very hot bath and walks in nature. During one of my bad nights earlier this year when my husband was holding me on the floor of our living room he leaned in and whispered a song verse to let me know he understood what I was going through. The verse is from Paul Simon’s song Further to Fly. “There will come a time when you’ll be tired, as tired as a dream that wants to die. Further to fly, further to fly.” It stinks that this isn’t a happy farewell. Like I wasn’t given an amazing opportunity at a trendy, up and coming newspaper somewhere in Australia, but hey - that just means this dream is still mine. I could go on forever about what this job has meant to me, but I think I will take a page from outgoing American President Barack Obama and just say this: Stacey out. [mic drop]. Editor’s Note: You can email Stacey at staceyroy1@yahoo.com.

DON’T DUMP IT… BLUE BOX IT! The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.

Volunteer firefighter Trevor Choffe is Perth’s new fire chief Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth town hall did not have to look too far to find its new fire chief – even if the applications came from across the country. At the end of September, Perth’s fire chief, Steve Fournier, will be retiring, and Trevor Choffe, a volunteer firefighter with the force, will be stepping into his fireman’s boots. Choffe’s appointment was announced by Mayor John Fenik at the end of the Perth town council committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 9. There were 16 paper applications from across that country that were then screened and narrowed down to a short list of five. The cross-country five were then interviewed by a hiring committee. Fenik said that Choffe “represents the future of the service. He will be there for a long, long time.” Fenik said that he hoped to have Choffe appear before council for an introduction in the future. His first day on the job will be Monday, Sept. 12.

One recruiter. One day per week. $10,000 per year: Perth set to hire shared physician recruiter

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth is seeking access to a physician recruiter, for one day a week, for $10,000 for one year. Mayor John Fenik told Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 9, that the physician recruiter will be shared with Brockville, with Smiths Falls considering whether to jump on board. Fenik also told council that the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation and the Smiths Falls Hospital Foundation “will fund a physician recruiter” through their fundraising efforts. He added that he believes that “Smiths Falls is putting up a similar amount,” though he is not sure of the final amount that each foundation is aiming to raise. Fenik has also been in contact with Tay Valley Township Reeve Keith Kerr and Drummond/North Elmsley Township Reeve Aubrey Churchill, who will take the matter to their respective councils about splitting some of the cost of the recruiters with them. “She’s quite impressive,” said Fenik of the recruiter. He felt she was worth the money, since “I know it means a budget deviation and it is unusual.” While the town could wait until budget deliberations for 2017 start in the New Year, he cautioned that “if you wait six months then we are six months more behind.” So far, Perth “has been very lucky in retaining family physicians,” he said. But, “looking at the base age,” of family physicians, “people will be retiring soon.” A new wrinkle in finding family physicians is the different generational dynamic of today’s young doctors. “Physicians today want quality of life for their spouses and families,” said Fenik. “No more 80-hour work weeks until you’re 80.” While not an immediate crisis, he noted that it was better to devote five to 10 hours per week to the issue in the interim, than to be suddenly faced with a doctor shortage crisis in a decade or so, Fenik said. In the past, former Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital CEO Todd Stepaniuk took on physician recruitment duties, but that duty is no longer performed by the hospital CEO. Coun. Jim Boldt said that he supported the motion, since his son and fiancé recently welcomed a baby into the world, and his son asked Boldt where he could find a fam-

get money from the local mining company to provide ample doctors, to the tune of $1 million a year. Coun. Judy Brown pointed to Bancroft, in Hastings County, where the county pays $170,000 a year to help pay for the university education of doctors, who then have to move to the area. “We can’t compete with that,” replied Fenik. “We want physicians who move here to want to move here.” He also cited a lack of resources from the province to make such inducements possible. For Boldt, doctors looking to pay off post-secondary education debts, “it’s not as economically feasible for a doctor…to come to this province. We are losing them to other provinces, because it is more lucrative” for them to move elsewhere. At the end of the debate, Fenik’s motion for the budget deviation was Desmond Devoy/METROLAND passed.

ily doctor. He replied: “Y’know son, that’s a tough question. I don’t know.” Fenik said he already knew of “a physician who is interested in moving to the Town of Perth now,” so Boldt may soon have an answer for his son. Both Boldt and Deputy Mayor John Gemmell said that their respective family doctors are cutting back their hours significantly. Coun. Jim Graff said that having a good medical infrastructure was crucial to luring new businesses to town since that makes the town “more attractive to new families and new businesses moving in.” Coun. Riq Turner wondered if certain financial inducements could be offered to doctors to move to the area. Council heard that Ontario communities like Red Lake

Failure to put pen to paper delays chambers request for $10,000 Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

You should’ve put it in writing. When it came right down to it, that was the message from Coun. Ed McPherson when the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce came looking for $10,000 for them to see out the rest of the calendar year – and $15,000 for 2017. A delegation from the chamber had just made a presentation to council during their committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 9, seeking $10,000 for the remainder of the calendar year – even with that money, they would still be running a deficit of $1,200, according to treasurer Mike Purdon. Without it, the deficit would rise to $12,000. “Is there a formal request for $10,000?” asked McPherson. “As a councillor, sitting here, I have not received a request for $10,000,” he said, adding that a request for any amount, especially for one of five digits, should be made in writing. Mayor John Fenik had been prepared to put forward a motion to give the chamber $5,000 to help them out in the interim – but chose, after McPherson’s comments, to hold back, and await a formal, written request from the chamber at the next council meeting. “I’m going to be waiting for the chamber to come forward with another request for 2016,” said McPherson. That night, council also voted for the chamber’s 2017 funding request to be debated during next year’s budget process. Purdon suggested that an annual grant of $15,000 be provided to the chamber. The delegation was led by chamber president Debra Bellevue. She noted that the chamber currently serves more than 300 businesses in the town and in outlying areas, but that “a year after the Town of Perth grant, we have gone backwards instead of forward with respect to our financial position.” One area of contention, she noted, was in the area of tourism. In the past, Perth’s tourism portfolio was handled by the chamber. It has since become a function of the town, but Bellevue said that, so far this year, 109 visitors have knocked on the chamber’s door at 66 Craig St., the Inge-Va House. “Even though tourism funding stopped years back…tourism has not stopped,” said Bellevue. “This is a bit of a shocking statistic.” She said that the chamber still wants to do right by the town and their members, about 30 per cent of whom are involved in the tourism trade. “We don’t want to turn anyone away,” she said. Further to this, 12 per cent of the chamber’s time is spent on tourism matters, which the chamber calculates at $6,300 per year. “An additional $6,000 would allow the Perth chamber to meet its ongoing obligations, while growing its brand and reach,” said Bellevue.

One way in which Purdon sees growing the brand is by adding new chamber-led events. “I don’t want to duplicate events, but I think that there is more that we can do,” Purdon said. “Events are expensive to run and are getting more expensive as the bar is being raised to keep events at a certain level,” said Bellevue. “The chamber has plans to run events in the future, but are in a position where the funding is not available due to the projected deficit.” She did note that the chamber is already trying to raise some money through its own channels, such as raising its annual membership fee by $10 in 2017, which will bring in about $3,000 more in cash. Bellevue said that the chamber was focused on creating events “that will drive business to our members.” Purdon revealed that the chamber had about $45,000 in reserves, but “it’s depleting rapidly,” as it had been up at $56,000. He also stated that the town had given the chamber about $10,000 in the middle of last year, which ran until this past May – for which the chamber did $13,000 worth of work. Coun. Jim Boldt challenged the chamber delegation on its salary cots, and was told that the chamber spends about $76,000 a year for a general manager and a book keeper. Of that amount, another $5,000 pays for a coordinator for the Festival of the Maples. “I’d like to see a more clear-cut plan,” said Boldt of the chamber’s future plans. “I, for one, am not in support of maintaining, in perpetuity, supports” for various groups. “I am in support of getting our chamber of commerce back on its feet.” Graff however pointed out that volunteering appears to be on the decline. He recalled one volunteer who put in more than 900 hours a year and “that’s become very difficult not to get people to contribute those kinds of hours.” If there were cutbacks on staff, their hours and/or pay, the only way they could be back-filled would be through volunteer labour. Later, Boldt also criticized the chamber’s Inge-Va House headquarters. “I didn’t have a warm and fuzzy feeling when I was there,” he said. The former director was not there when he arrived, and there was little signage to indicate which door he should enter through. Boldt said he knocked at the front door, only to find it was locked. He went around the side, and spied a door there. He attempted to open it, but heard a voice from within the house tell him to jiggle the handle to gain admittance. “It wasn’t a real good experience,” said Boldt. “I’m surprised that 109 people got in. I’m hoping that the next time I go there, it will be a better experience.” Purdon stepped up to say that “the signage is there,” but conceded that “it is limited,” since Inge-Va House is a heritage building.

Pool is unlikely villain in town’s newly tabled climate change report

Fenik promises to set emission reduction target date Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

While Perth has seen a 13 per cent decrease in greenhouse gas emissions since 1998, the town’s indoor pool has become an unlikely greenhouse gas emitting villain. Samuel Beaulieu, who helped steer the Mayor’s Task Force on Local Climate Change, made a presentation to Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 9, outlining the findings of the group in the report, “Local Climate Change Action Plan: Perth’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions.” Looking at all of the different factors that make up greenhouse gas emitters in Perth, Beaulieu found that “the ‘buildings’ sector is the largest emitter at 63 per cent,” and, within that group, the town-owned indoor pool “accounts for 19 per cent of corporate emissions.” There has also been a “significant rise in natural gas and diesel,” and the town’s investments in new LED streetlights will not become noticeable until future inventories. Overall, emissions are predicted to rise locally, reaching 1,172 tonnes by 2025. The largest polluting agent by far, in first place, was gasoline, followed by electricity, with natural gas in third place. Wood was in last place, barely registering on Beaulieu’s bar graphs. “Natural gas has zoomed up,” said Mayor John Fenik, commenting on the findings, which saw a 158 per cent increase since 1998. Coun. Ed McPherson said that it was “not a surprise” that natural gas had risen in the ranks since “it’s much more available than it was” back in 1998, though there has been a two per cent decrease in natural gas use since 2014. “When you pay for electricity, for a product, when you pay more, you use more,” said Fenik. “Natural gas is just a cheaper form of energy to use.” Beaulieu noted that government standards had results in increased efficiency in cars. He added that Hydro One and Enbridge Gas had provided a lot of the information used in his report, which also measured levels like “Current Corporate Greenhouse Gas Emissions,” broken down by sector. • Buildings emitted 543 tonnes of CO2, and cost $306,180. • Fleet (cars, trucks, etc.) emitted 204 tonnes of CO2, and cost $58,675. • Streetlights emitted 52 tonnes of CO2, and cost $144,602. • Water and sewage emitted 67 of CO2, and cost $141,266. Community-wide, overall emissions are down 22 per cent from 1998, while there are 11.43 tonnes of emissions per capita, down from 14.72 in 1998. Emissions are forecast to reach 86,192 tonnes of CO2 by 2025. About 300 citizen surveys were sent out with town bills recently, and about 30 have been returned to town hall, outlining priorities that people would like to see when it comes to the environment. The results found that the top concerns were “information on grants or programs,” tied with “energy efficient appliances.” In a second-place tie were “solar electric panels for my home,” and “greater access to local food.” The poll also found that “96 per cent of people (surveyed) think it is either very important or somewhat

Samuel Beaulieu, who helped steer the Mayor’s Task Force on Local Climate Change, on Aug. 9. important,” that the “town helps residents and businesses reduce their…emissions.” Citizens also voiced concerns over the “lack of safe, connected bike routes, lanes,” as well as “too many transports going through town,” followed by “train pollution.” Rather than demonize some of the town’s larger polluters, Beaulieu said that a “stakeholder survey” would be circulated soon “to see if they are interested in being part of the project,” to make Perth more green. Fenik told council that, moving forward, he and his committee would be “proposing a number to council to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by a certain date,” he said. “I’m not sure we are there yet,” he added, about picking a target. Beaulieu’s report suggested that Perth could be looking at “bringing emissions down by 693 tonnes CO2,” for the corporate sector, and “bringing emissions down to 62,766 tonnes CO2,” for the whole community. “Both proposed reduction targets are feasible if appropriate measures are taken,” Beaulieu wrote in his PowerPoint presentation. “To give an example, corporate emissions next year should hypothetically be down 3.2 per cent from 2015 because of new LED streetlights.” “We all have to become more accountable of the carbon footprint,” said Coun. Jim Boldt. But he took the opportunity to take the Queens Park Liberals to task, for banning natural gas lines to any new houses being built, as well as proposed carbon taxes. “(The Wynne government) is going to force us to look at other ways of doing things,” said Boldt. “I don’t know where we are going with this from a political perspective…it’s discouraging. It’s all very confusing.” “We will not turn back the tide of what is happening to the planet,” said Fenik. “But we can set a good example.” Looking at Boldt sitting beside him, Fenik agreed that “I get his (Boldt’s) frustration. I am with him provincially on this. I look at it and say, ‘What the heck is going on?’” Coun. Jim Graff commended Beaulieu, who is entering his fourth year of studies at the University of Ottawa, for his hard work. “I’ve learned a lot from you, sir,” Graff said of Beaulieu. “I’ve changed a lot of my opinions.”

First tournament for Perth Duplicate Bridge Club By Iris Winston

The Perth Duplicate Bridge Club hits a new stage this September, when it will hold its first tournament. In charge of organizing the threeday event, to be held at the Civitan Hall, is Kathleen Sullivan. A keen bridge player and a member of both the Perth and Smiths Falls clubs, Sullivan says she took on the demanding task just because she was asked. A systems analyst and later a senior project manager before her retirement, she soon demonstrated that attention to detail is key to arranging a multi-faceted event of this nature. “My role is to set up the infrastructure that allows the games to be played,” she explains. “I have six sub-committees, each with specific responsibilities to ensure that there is no overlap and nothing falls through the cracks.” For example, the promotions committee is responsible for publicizing the tournament as widely as possible. (“Obviously, the critical success factor is the number of people who take part.”) Meanwhile, the site management committee is responsible for building access and contractual arrangements with the Civitan; the food and beverages group ensures that home-baked snacks are plentiful — always popular with players; the

Kathleen Sullivan hospitality committee arranges for discounts at some local inns, motels and restaurants; and the remaining committees watch over the financial arrangements and help out-of-town visitors to find bridge partners. The director of play for the tournament, like Sullivan, a member of the Perth club, is Gerry Browning. “We are very fortunate to have him,” says Sullivan. “He is an experienced and highly respected director in bridge circles. So I am not worried about the running of the games themselves, because he is the director and the games are clearly defined according to ACBL [American Contract Bridge League] guidelines.” But, adds Sullivan, who moved

to a lakeside home in the Perth area from Toronto 11 years ago, preparing for the tournament “is a process that has many parts. I hope everything goes smoothly and that duplicate bridge players, who haven’t played for a while will come to the tournament. Maybe, it will also bring them back to the Perth Duplicate Bridge Club and add to the health of the club’s bottom line.” For Sullivan, who first played bridge socially as a university student and later took up duplicate bridge, organizing the tournament is a way of using her skills as a project manager to “give back to the game.” “I first played duplicate bridge when wintering in Costa Rica five years ago,” she says. “I was fascinated by this form of bridge and have been playing it ever since. My husband and I belong to four local duplicate clubs and have traveled to tournaments across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. We have met so many interesting people through this awesome game. I strongly encourage contract bridge players to give it a try at their local clubs and then come out to our tournament.” The sectional tournament hosted by the Perth Duplicate Bridge Club runs from Sept. 9 to 11 at the Perth Civitan Hall, 6787 Lanark County Road 43. For further information, contact Kathleen Sullivan at 613 2780931.

ATVs and ORVs on Public Roads Public Consultation and Review of By-law 2015-53

In November of 2015, Rideau Lakes Council passed By-law 2015-53 which permitted ATVs and ORVs on maintained Township roads, subject to certain regulations and limitations. The by-law contains a one year ‘sunset clause’, which means it expires in November 2016. This was done to ensure that public consultation regarding the by-law occurs before a further decision is made. Council is asking interested members of the public to submit comments, in writing, to the Clerk at 1439 County Rd 8, Delta, Ontario, K0E 1G0 or mtruelove@twprideaulakes.on.ca between August 18 and September 22. Specifically, Council would like to hear from all residents about support or concern related to ATV/ ORV use of maintained Township roads and the bylaw, including the structure of its regulation and the roads identified as prohibited. These comments will become part of the public record and will be provided to Council at their regular Committee meeting on September 26. Personal information (such as an email address) will be removed. A copy of the by-law and a helpful FAQ is available on the Township’s website (www.twprideaulakes.on.ca) or by emailing the Clerk at the address noted above.

Legion preps for Olympic-worthy Glen Tay Block Race on Aug. 25 The Legion sponsored Glen Tay Block Race will take place on Thursday, Aug. 25, starting and finishing in front of the Perth Museum. The event is one of many celebrating Perth’s 200th Anniversary, and John Gemmell, first vice president, will be attending for the 200th Anniversary Committee, and as deputy mayor for the Town of Perth. President Eric Devlin will also be in attendance. Membership chair John Fife would like to remind Legion members that effective immediately dues for all member categories will be $50 per year. This is due to an increase in the proportion of the dues that goes to Dominion Command. Ladies Auxiliary president Florence Doran reports that the LA will be holding a meeting on Thursday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m., and it is requested that uniforms be worn if possible. It is hoped there will be a good turnout, as it will be the first meeting after summer break. Mary Teresa Beesley advised there will be no Jamboree in September, and she will be reporting soon on the status of future Jamboree events.

Did you know? The Royal Canadian Air Force categorizes aircraft into: Fighters; Search and Rescue; Transport; Tactical Aviation; Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance; and Trainers. The best know aircraft by Canada’s general population is probably the fighter commonly known as the CF-18. The supersonic CF-188 Hornet is described as “a versatile, world-class fighter aircraft, which can engage both ground and aerial targets. Its twin engines generate enough thrust to lift 24 full-size pick-up trucks off the ground. As the Royal Canadian Air Force’s frontline multi-role fighter, the modernized CF-18 is used for air defence, air superiority, tactical support, training, aerobatic demonstration, and aerospace testing and evaluation.” Days of Yore … Don’t forget our websites: www.rcl244.com, From The Perth Courier dated March 26, and www.hallofremembrance.ca.

Remember, Remember, the Fourth of November Hmmm, that’s not quite right. Oh, this makes more sense! Mark your calendars for Nov. 4, opening night of the 2016 Perth Community Choir (PCC) production of Death & Taxes, The Musical, at the Mason Auditorium, 13 Victoria St., for a two-week run. In this, the bicentennial year of the founding of the Perth Military Settlement, it seemed fitting that PCC – Perth’s oldest, continuously operating theatre group – stage a production that spoke of small-town life, although not necessarily life in Perth. Death & Taxes, The Musical is a tuneful, funny, hand-clapping, toe tapping, whimsical, and maybe just a little bit cynical look at small-town politics. It all takes place in the town of Pompeii, Ontario –pronounced POMP-ee, please. Pompeii, like its predecessor in Italy, is slowly being buried by the onrush of civilization. How

the residents dig their way out makes for two hours of real fun. But, remember, it’s not about Perth! Characters in the show range from the town’s mayor/barber, to a visiting developer, to members of council and the Cultural Society, as well as just about anyone else who might pop up in a small town. As in every production since PCC was founded 35 years ago, all members of the cast, orchestra, crew, and production team come from the Perth community. PCC has a proud tradition of welcoming and fostering talent from all walks of life and all ages. Death & Taxes, The Musical will play at the Mason Auditorium, 13 Victoria Street, Perth, on Nov. 4, 5,10, 11, and 12 at 7:30 p.m., and on Nov. 6 and 13 at 2 p.m.

Hip tribute plays Rob Roy’s Sept. 17 Tribute band ‘The Totally Hip’ will follow their recent fundraising tribute show in Rideau Ferry with an event at Rob Roy’s Pub next month. Rob Roy’s owner Dan Cyr said he is “very excited” to have the band at his bar and expects a sell-out. “I heard the Rideau Ferry show was literally unbelievable and I told the guys in the band that I wanted them to bring the show here,” Cyr said. “I am very happy that they available because I know there were many people who didn’t get an opportunity to see them at the sold-out Rideau Ferry show.”

EAT IT!

The band features a number of long-time area musicians and performs three full sets of Tragically Hip music spanning the band’s entire career. “We were literally blown away at the speed at which the Rideau Ferry show sold out,” said Totally Hip bass player Mike Perkins. “Rob Roy’s is a much larger location so we are hoping to bring the show to even more people,” he added. The Totally Hip will appear at Rob Roy’s Saturday, Sept. 17. Tickets are $10 and will be available at Rob Roy’s starting this week. For more information, contact Rob Roy’s Pub at 613-283-9093.

Many services offered to those in need by Victim Services of Lanark County Chris Must

chrismust@metroland.com

Smiths Falls councillors had words of praise this week for the efforts of Victims Services of Lanark County in helping more than a dozen people left homeless in the wake of a townhouse fire in April. “I was very impressed,” Mayor Shawn Pankow told Victims Services Executive Director Sonya Jodoin Aug. 8 at a meeting of council’s Committee of the Whole. “It was an incredible job.” Accompanied by staff members Shannon Forsyth and Amber MacDonald, Jodoin attended the meeting to provide councillors with an overview of the services provided by the agency which has been operating in the county since 2005. “It’s a broad range of services that we provide,” said Jodoin. “There’s very little that we actually say no to.” Jodoin said the agency provides “on-scene immediate assistance” to victims of crimes, and to those coping with sudden deaths including homicide, suicide and death from natural causes. Help is also available to victims of human trafficking, break-andenter, home invasion, robbery, assault, child abuse and elder abuses. Victims Services of Lanark County, formerly known as VCARS, also assists in safety planning to those threatened by domestic violence, stalking or harassment. The agency also delivers the Internet Child Exploitation Program, and provides public education

Camp Banting provides skills, memories that last a lifetime Summer camp can be one of the most rewarding and unforgettable experiences in a child’s life and a muchneeded break from the academic year. Every child deserves the chance to experience summer camp—including children living with type 1 diabetes. The Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) is the only provider of a camps program for children living with type 1 diabetes in Canada. At D-Camps, children are able to enjoy an authentic summer camp experience, while having all of their diabetes needs met by a team of skilled medical professionals. The CDA’s camping tradition began when Camp Banting first opened its doors in 1953. Since then, the camp program has grown extensively, and the CDA now operates 12 overnight summer camps across the country. Each camp offers an array of activities that make use of the facilities and natural environment available at each location. Camp Banting accommodates approximately 70 campers ages seven to 15 and is currently hosted at Scouts Canada’s Camp Opemikon, located near Perth. “Diabetes introduces kids to a new reality—one that often makes them feel different from their peers. A diagnosis also brings with it a whole new set of skills for kids to learn: how to test their blood sugar levels, prime and inject a needle, prepare and insert a pump, count carbs, recognize and treat a high or low blood sugar and maintain a balance between food, insulin and activity,” said Grant Leeder, coordinator for Camp Banting at the CDA. “Diabetes forces children to take on this challenge, but D-Camps are here to empower them to reach their dreams in spite of it.” Medical professionals on-site at Camp Banting include endocrinologists, doctors, nurses, dietitians as well as health-care students, residents and interns. Type 1 diabetes requires vigilant attention and support by a child’s primary caregiver—parents have peace of mind knowing that their children are monitored by a dedicated team of trained medical professionals who are available around the clock. At Camp Banting, diabetes management fits into the day as naturally as a jump into the lake or an evening campfire. The medical team also works closely with the program team including camp counsellors, many of whom also

The camp caters to children with diabetes. and adventure in a diabetes-friendly environment where they can: meet and connect with other kids and staff who share the same experiences they do and who understand what it’s like to live with diabetes; participate in outdoor activities such as swimming, hiking, canoeing, campfires and archery that help promote self-esteem and personal growth; and learn how to self-manage their diabetes in a supportive environment. “Children attending camp have the opportunity to meet others who share a personal understanding of the challenges of living with diabetes,” added Leeder. “For some children, camp is also the first time they learn to adminMaximillians Donna Rumble 2 For The Show ister their own insulin—a milestone in the life of a child East Meets West Restaurant Mex & Co.

Junior Ryder Cup takes to Perth’s links

The next Brooke Henderson or Rory McIllroy could well have been walking the links of the Perth Golf Course for the Junior Ryder Cup, which drew more than 110 kids to the green. The event, on Wednesday, Aug. 3, also saw the Perth Fire Department take on employees from Canadian Tire in a friendly game.

Major tournament champs

Major Perth Royals won the ‘B’ side of the Scott Tokessy Tournament, held Aug. 5 to 7 in Kanata. The team went undefeated and beat Beloil, Quebec in the finals. The tournament itself is the biggest charity little league tournament in Canada and raised $ 20,000 towards CHEO this year. Posing with the trophies left to right are players Nathan Stoll, Noah Cyr, Carson McEwen, Donavin Deacon, Keaton Murphy, Robbie Camello, Matthew Czubac, Dylan Merpaw and Jake Bingley. The coaches are Kevin Merpaw and Andrew Stoll. Absent from photo are Robert Onion and Kendall Miller. Congratulation to the local boys for the prowess on the diamond. DON’T DUMP IT… BLUE BOX IT! The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.

Streep’s performance serves up perfect anti-blockbuster MOVIE: Florence Foster Jenkins STARRING: Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant, and Simon Helberg DIRECTOR: Stephen Frears RATING: PG It’s been nothing but explosions, aliens and superhuman battles since May. Which is great, but every once in a while I need to get off the blockbuster rollercoaster. This week I took a break with Florence Foster Jenkins. It’s 1944 in New York and wealthy heiress Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep) is the heart and soul of the music community. Her love of music is boundless, and her enthusiasm infects all around her. Florence dreams of singing at Carnegie Hall, but her voice isn’t equal to her passion. Of course Florence has no idea she can’t sing. Her husband St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant) has gone to extraordinary pains to ensure his wife remains unaware of her true

singing ability. When she performs he approves who gets tickets. He makes sure only ‘trusted’ members of the press are there. In short only those who love Florence attend. Then, while Mr. Bayfield is away, Florence decides to make her dream come true. She arranges a concert at Carnegie Hall, and gives away a thousand tickets to the brave soldiers returning home. For Florence it’s a triumph. For Bayfield it’s a disaster. It’s a situation where he can’t protect her. It’s also Florence’s dream so with the help of Florence’s pianist, Cosme McMoon (Simon Helberg), they do all they can to make it real. Based on the life of the real Mrs. Jenkins, Florence Foster Jenkins is a delight. It’s a story about love, devotion, and how passion can carry the day over talent. It’s a good-natured comedy with a few emotional twists and surprises. It’s the kind of film where you listen intently to what the

is aware of the arrangement and chooses to be ignorant, or if Bayfield simply keeps it secret. Regardless Hugh Grant plays this character in such a way that even though he lives with another woman you never question his devotion to Florence. It’s remarkable. You can’t help but laugh at MARK HASKINS Streep’s vocal gymnastics, but you never laugh at Florence. Streep takes actors say, and pay even more atten- this person with an almost childlike tion to what the actors do when they aren’t speaking. Simon Helberg plays the shy yet talented pianist hired to work with Florence. His facial expressions This is the third year for this popwhen he hears Florence sing for the ular gospel service at St. Andrew’s first time are priceless. It’s hysterical. United Church in Lanark. Some of Bayfield’s devotion to Florence is the old favourite gospel hymns inunquestioned, so it’s surprising when clude: Just a Closer Walk with Thee, we learn Bayfield has a girlfriend.

love of music and need to perform, and causes you to fall in love with her. You cheer her. You applaud her because you admire her spirit if not her talent. Florence Foster Jenkins is the opposite of a summer blockbuster. It’s quiet, subtle, and utterly lacking in explosions. In other words a definite must-see. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

My Take

Third annual gospel service in Lanark Aug. 21 will be provided by Mark Hannah on guitar, Jack Greer on banjo and Grant McFarlane on piano. The hymns will be led by St. Andrew’s choir who will be joined by some members of The Men of the Clyde. The service starts at 11 a.m. Following the service, a free lunch will be provided by members of the St. Andrew’s Choir.

The 150th anniversary of Confederation is almost here On behalf of the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage, Julie Dabrusin, Member of Parliament (Toronto-Danforth), last week announced the start of the 150-day countdown to the official launch of celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of Confederation. She announced that many spontaneous activities will surprise Canadians from coast to coast to coast in the lead-up to the start of a highly memorable year. Canada 150 will engage our communities through local activities for families and children, such as a surprise appearance of a star in a public place, creating a community garden, upgrading a public space or a public art project. “Today, barely 150 days remain before the official launch of major festivities scheduled for every region throughout 2017,” said Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage.

“I encourage all Canadians to join in the celebrations by getting involved right now in the many activities that will happen all across Canada. I am sure that these activities will build genuine enthusiasm. Together, let’s get ready to experience an extraordinary and memorable year! The countdown has started!” During the announcement, Dabrusin noted the participation of CBC/Radio-Canada in this initiative-which will enable Canadians across the country to witness and participate in various surprise activities that will take place across the country to mark the 150 remaining days before the 150th anniversary. “What a great opportunity to show how proud we are to be Canadian! Participate with as many others as you can, organize your own activities to mark the countdown and, above all, remember to invite your parents and friends to take

part in celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Confederation,” said Dabrusin. As we are preparing for a whole year of celebrations in 2017, Dabrusin took the opportunity to challenge Canadians. She invited them to organize their own activities to mark the countdown and to share their best moments on social media by using the hashtag #Canada 150 and the hashtags of the media partner for the Canada 150 countdown: #RadioCanada2017 and #CBC2017. “CBC/Radio-Canada is proud to be a part of the lead-up to 2017. Over the next 150 days, the public broadcaster will provide a space where Canadians can share their stories, ideas and perspectives and where they can engage with one another from coast to coast to coast,” stated Hubert T. Lacroix, president and CEO of CBC/Radio-Canada. To make 2017 a year that all Ca-

nadians will remember, the Government of Canada will continue to provide funding for national, regional and local projects and invite Canadians to take part in the many events scheduled for throughout the year. The Government of Canada’s vision seeks to bring people together and inspire them. It will highlight the themes of diversity and inclusiveness, young people, the environment and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Did you know... • The start of the countdown was also marked at events in Halifax, Charlottetown, Québec City, Montréal, Gatineau, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver. • The Canada 150 countdown is intended to encourage participation by Canadians nationwide and to promote the celebrations that are about to start, which will continue

throughout 2017. • The Government of Canada’s vision for the 150th anniversary of Confederation includes four major themes: diversity and inclusiveness, the environment, young people, and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Celebrations highlighting these themes will be held to bring people together and inspire them. • The Canada 150 Fund, established in April 2015, has an overall budget of $210 million.

SONNENBURG, Ed April 6, 1948 - August 19, 2014 Two years have passed since we lost a loving husband, Dad and Grandpa. God saw you getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you, And He whispered “Come to Me”. With tearful eyes we watched you, We watched you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard-working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He chose to take the best. It’s lonesome here without you, We miss you more each day, Life doesn’t seem the same, Since you have gone away. Love Ev, Carrie, Laura and family

God has you in His keeping, We have you in our heart. We shed tears for what might have been, A million times we’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our heart you hold a place, No one could ever fill. It broke our heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home. In our hearts forever Love your sisters Shirley, Donna, Judy, Nancy, Linda and families

To us she was so special, What more is there to say, Except to wish with all our hearts, That she was here today.

Health Canada advises people to avoid craft, pesticide recipes using boric acid Health Canada is advising Canadians to avoid using boric acid for arts and crafts projects, such as homemade slime, or modelling clay. Health Canada is also advising against making homemade pesticides with boric acid. Boric acid, sometimes also called boron or borax, is found in the environment and Canadians are exposed to it naturally through food (such as fruit and vegetables) and drinking water. Canadians can also be exposed to boric acid through a variety of commonly used products, such as pesticides, cleaning products, homemade arts and craft materials, cosmetics, swimming pool and spa chemicals, and drugs and natural health products. A recent draft risk assessment by Health Canada has found that overexposure to boric acid has the potential to cause developmental and reproductive health effects. Since Canadians are already exposed to boric acid naturally through their diets and water, Health Canada is advising that exposure from other sources should be reduced as much as possible, especially for children and pregnant women. The concern is not with any one product, but rather multiple exposures from a variety of sources. With this in mind, the department has also announced that AUCTIONS

registrations for certain pesticides that contain boric acid, which are commonly used in homes, will have their registrations cancelled and be phased out of the marketplace. As well, new, more protective label directions are being introduced for other boric acid pesticides that continue to be registered in Canada (for example, enclosed bait stations and spot treatments using gel formulations). What you should do Canadians can minimize their exposure to boric acid from sources other than food and water. Here are some steps you can take: • Use recipes to make children’s arts and crafts at home (e.g. slimes) that do not contain boric acid. Do not use boric acid to make homemade pesticides. • Check the product label for terms such as “borax” and “boron-containing”. You can also contact the manufacturer to find out if their products contain boric acid. • Follow all directions on cleaning products. Store cleaning products out of sight and reach of children. • Dispose of chemicals properly based on the manufacturer’s directions. • Use health products that have a drug identification number (DIN), natural product number

AUCTIONS

(NPN) or homeopathic medicines number (DIN-HM). These numbers mean the product is regulated under the Food and Drugs Act and has been reviewed by Health Canada. If you have a pesticide with any of the following ingredients on the label, check Health Canada’s new pesticide label search mobile app for the most recent product information and label instructions: • boric acid • borax (disodium tetraborate pentahydrate) • borax (disodium tetraborate decahydrate) • disodium octaborate tetrahydrate • zinc borate Health Canada advises Canadians not to use pesticides that contain boric acid that have had their registrations cancelled in and around the home past their expiry date. You may also want to consider using alternative products readily available during the phase out period of these products. For information on the safe disposal of pesticides, please consult your provincial or territorial government. What Health Canada is doing Canada identifies and takes action on potentially harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to human health or the environment through the Chemicals Manage-

ment Plan. Further actions to protect Canadians from overexposure to boric acid are currently being examined and will be communicated once the final risk assessment under the Chemicals Management Plan is complete. Over the next 24 months, Health Canada will be phasing out certain pesticide products that contain boric acid and requiring updates to labels for others. For those boric acid containing pesticides that continue to be registered for use in Canada, labels must include a statement that they can only be applied and used in areas that are inaccessible to children and pets. Other label changes are also being introduced to mitigate potential health risks to Canadians. Report health and safety concerns Report any adverse events related to consumer products or a pest control product to the manufacturer, who is required by law to report it to Health Canada. You may also report an incident directly to Health Canada by completing an incident report form online at hc-sc.gc.ca. If you experience an adverse reaction related to a non-prescription or natural health product, report it to Health Canada as well as the establishment where the product or service was purchased.
