Teen driver pulled from submerged vehicle Desmond Devoy

News – Emergency workers rescued a female teenage driver who was trapped in her car, which was completely submerged in the Tay Canal. The incident occurred at 10:50 a.m. on Riverside Drive, on Friday, Aug. 15, near the final turn of the road – which runs adjacent to the waterway and Last Duel Park. A Drummond/North Elmsley Town-
ship firefighter, an off-duty Renfrew paramedic, and two members of the public assisted to get the driver out of her car, which was quickly submerged with water. When OPP arrived, the four were “in the process of removing her from the vehicle,” said OPP Const. Sean Trahan, during a telephone interview on Monday, Aug. 18. “The paramedics performed CPR.” He added that the woman’s four rescuers “are to be commended for their
actions.” The passenger was reported to be in serious condition. She was taken to the Great War Memorial Hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, where she was taken by air ambulance to Kingston General Hospital. Riverside Drive was closed off for several hours on Friday as police continued their investigations. The investiSee CRASH page P2
New OPP funding formula to hit Tay Valley hard: Kerr Communities show stark differences under new plan
Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – While Perth is laughing all the way to the bank with the new OPP costing formula, Tay Valley Township is singing the blues. The province announced the new funding formula last week (Thursday, Aug. 14) in an attempt to even out disparities between municipalities who pay too much for policing and those who pay too little. But the picture is rather stark in Tay Valley, where, according to Reeve Richard Kerr, the per-household cost of policing is set to rise from $130 per household to between $299 and $350 per household, almost a 200 per cent increase. Kerr added that, if this formula comes into effect on Jan. 1, 2015, Tay Valley taxpayers could face a 20 per cent tax increase per household. “We have two options,” said Kerr during a telephone interview on Monday, Aug. 18. “We either cut services or cut taxes.” Already, MPAC assessments of waterfront properties on the township have seen their market value rise by 25 per cent, adding to the tax burden. “It’ll come to the point where people will hand us their keys” to their properties, saying that they cannot afford it any

more. “There will be lots of jobs that won’t get done.” Adding to the township’s bind, when it comes to delaying infrastructure repairs to items like roads and bridges, “you delay it, but, for how long?” The new formula will be phased in over five years, and Kerr conceded that “it helps a little bit but it will still be there” at the end of the five years. Kerr revealed that there is a plan taking shape amongst eastern Ontario politicians to create an eastern Ontario police force. “The rural areas are really taking a hit,” he said. With four months to go until the new year and the provincial election and the start of the budget cycle in the interim, there are some tough decisions ahead. “It’s not much fun,” Kerr said. Perth costs down Just down the road, the picture is much different in Perth. Under their current OPP contract, residents pay $780 per household. Had the town stayed under the auspices of the Perth Police Service, that number would have been $950 per household. Now that per household cost will plummet by $420 to $360 per property.

Take precautions to protect yourself from tick, mosquito borne diseases News – Tick borne (Lyme disease) and mosquito borne diseases (West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis) are preventable. August and September are the months where we may start to see positive mosquito pools for West Nile Virus (WNV) and possibly Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), the public may be at a higher risk of being exposed to these diseases. Lyme disease is always a risk throughout our region during spring, summer and fall. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark
District Health Unit recommends taking the following personal precautions: • Apply insect repellents sparingly to exposed skin. Effective repellents contain DEET or Icaridin. Be sure to follow directions and usage appropriate concentrations DO NOT USE personal insect repellents on children under two years of age. • Wear long pants and long sleeves, as well as shoes and socks during peak mosquito times to prevent mosquito bites, and while hiking to prevent ticks from attaching to your body.
and garden area. • Check yourself, your pets and help others check for ticks when coming in from outside. • Take a shower to remove any loose ticks that may be on your skin when coming in from outside. • Citronella candles, electronic high frequency mosquito repellers, bug zappers, and plants have not been proven
to be effective by scientifically based tests. • Both WNV and EEE can affect horses. Consult your vet about vaccination. More information regarding these diseases can be found on our website www.healthunit.org or by calling 1-800660-5853. You can also like the health unit on Facebook.

Community – Ah, the last golden days of summer are upon us. The sun sets come earlier, the garden veggies are ripening and the sale sheets are full of back-toschool. What better way to put a bookend on the summer of 2014 than to take a last look around and go for a little tour of the highways and byways of Central Frontenac. The 22nd annual Inroads Studio Tour is here again. Smaller and better than ever Labour Day weekend, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Aug. 30, 31 and Sept. 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Featuring 10 studios with extra guests at the three Arden studios and at Ken Waller’s studio on Sharbot Lake, this year’s Inroads Studio Tour brings together the award winning talents of the tour mainstays in a convenient grouping of studios in Arden and the outskirts of Sharbot Lake and Parham. The hallmark of this particular studio tour is that, unlike typical art and craft exhibitions, this tour takes you to the studios of the participants and invites you into their workshops to view works in progress and observe demonstrations of the craft process. Purchasing art and craft can be a very satisfying experience but to actually watch it being made is another experience all together. Central Frontenac is blessed with a supremely talented group of artisans. Bring the children or rediscover the child in you. Watch a potter, a woodworker, a glass or metal artist make their magic. There is something for everyone in pottery, paint-

OPP communications operator named 2014 Telecommunicator of the Year Ashley Kulp
akulp@perfprint.ca
News – After falling into police communications as a fluke, one might say that Christian Paquette has truly found his calling. The Carleton Place resident, who works as a communications operator in the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Communications Centre in Smiths Falls, was recently honoured with the 2014 Public Safety Answering Points Telecommunicator of the Year Award for his dedication to his job. The award was presented in New Orleans, Louisiana during the 80th Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials International Conference. Paquette, who found out about the award in early July, is the first Canadian to receive it. “...Of course I’m honoured. Considering how many amazing people work in emergency communications in this country, I’m absolutely humbled by the privilege of accepting this award,” he remarked. According to a press release issued by the OPP, the international honour, sponsored by NICE Systems, recognizes “individuals for their exceptional performance and outstanding contributions in the field of public safety, including their years of service, exemplary contributions and dedication to their organization, innovative thinking and execution of duties.” Paquette’s direct supervisor, OPP

Carleton Place resident Christian Paquette recently earned the 2014 Public Safety Answering Points Telecommunicator of the Year Award. Above, OPP Sergeant Carlo Maragno, Paquette’s supervisor who nominated him for the award; Paquette; and Richard Mears, regional vicepresident of NICE Systems, the award sponsor. Sergeant Carlo Maragno, collected all the information for the award nomination and OPP Inspector Penny Barager reviewed the content and submitted the application. Paquette was proud to have been recognized by his superiors. “…It came as a complete shock when my platoon sergeant, Carlo Maragno, gave me the news,” he said. “He was the one who nominated me, which is awesome as he’s my direct supervisor and
did it completely without my knowledge!” Paquette has been working at the communications centre since January 2001 and said he “actually kind of fell into it while I was in college for journalism.” “My stepmother was working as an administrative assistant at the Ottawa Traffic OPP detachment and she let me know there was an opening in the communications centre and I decided to ap-
Canlok Stone
ply,” he continued. “I stuck with it because I realized that I was good at it and it was beyond interesting.” “I greatly enjoy the excitement that comes with helping save a life or making an arrest,” Paquette added when asked what he loves about his job. “This job is really like no other – the entire day’s dynamic can rapidly change without warning and you have to always think on your feet.” He is part of a team of just over 135 civilian and uniform employees and Paquette’s daily duties include both calltaking and dispatching. “…Each and every one of them (coworkers) have had an impact on me as my career has progressed. It’s a massive team environment and working together is absolutely necessary in getting those things done,” he explained. “The area we cover stretches from Port Hope to the Quebec border and all the way north – close to North Bay, so getting to know the geography is quite the challenge. We’re responsible for dispatching hundreds of OPP officers at any given time.” Paquette admitted the nature of the job can take its toll, but a good support system makes all the difference. He said that the OPP offers an employee assistance program and peer-based counselling for those who require it. “I consider them invaluable resources as the world can get very serious sometimes,” he said. While he has helped multiple people over the years who are in dangerous situ-
ations, Paquette said there was a recent call with a gentleman of which he is especially proud. He was on the phone with a man for more than 30 minutes while he hid in a field, trying to escape a very violent family member. “Trying to keep him calm and composed while he shuffled barefoot around a dark cornfield in rural Ontario was challenge,” he remembers. “It was a cold fall night and the temperature was in the single digits. The caller didn’t know exactly where he was and was starting to panic. He was injured and completely frightened. It felt good to finally talk him out and get the help he needed.” The feeling of being able to save someone’s life is a question posed to Paquette quite often and he said it’s hard to describe. “Probably the best way to explain it is that it’s a huge sense of relief and accomplishment,” he remarked. It’s that type of satisfaction and commitment to the role that prompted Paquette’s peers to nominate him for the Telecommunicator of the Year Award. He was also nominated for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012 for his contributions to police service excellence. “We are all very proud of Christian for receiving the 2014 Telecommunicator of the Year Award,” noted Barager in a press release. “He is a very deserving member and is a great example of the professionalism, dedication and high standards OPP communication operators bring to every call, every day all across Ontario.”

Rideau Environmental Action League grant applications due Sept. 19 Community – A school gardening group and an area youth group have already benefited from a $250 Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) Action Grant this summer. But funding is still available for other area organizations to submit a proposal by Sept. 19. The Drummond School Green Team, “ecoNinjas”, had planted a pumpkin patch to teach students about gardening. They were seeking funding to purchase two rain barrels to collect rainwater from a nearby shed for water-
ing the plants. REAL agreed to fund the barrels and some additional gardening tools for this volunteer effort. In Almonte, the TYPS youth centre is operating a parks and garden program. One aspect of the program involves taking youth on guided visits to some on the many local green spaces, so that they can experience what their community has to offer and learn about conservation principles close-up. REAL is pleased to contribute to the support already provided by Trillium, Lanark County,
STEO launches website, hotline
R0012853234_0821
News – Starting this month, information on busing for the upcoming school year will be just a click or a phone call away, for parents and students in eastern Ontario. 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 (UCDSB). General manager and chief administrative officer, Ron Cotnam, stated, “STEO has
developed a website where parents and students can access important information including pickup locations and the name of the contractor serving their area.” Parents and students can visit the STEO web site at www.steo.ca for more information. STEO will also make it easier for parents and students to check on transportation information by maintaining a special busing hotline. The number 1-866-895-8480 will be active from Aug. 19 up to and including Sept. 30.
Mississippi and others. REAL is celebrating its 25th anniversary by offering ten REAL Action Grants of up to $250 to schools, community groups and neighbourhood associations in the region to make environmental improvements that benefit their community. REAL began in 1989 on
the premise that individuals could make an environmental difference by “thinking globally and acting locally.” The group wants to support community groups who have great ideas to improve the environment but may need a little financial support to make them a reality. The environmental group is
hoping to encourage simple projects such as cleaning up a shoreline, planting trees in a school yard, installing recycling receptacles, composters or rain barrels, buying reusable dishware, or putting on a workshop. The application process is explained on REAL’s website, REA-
Laction.ca. Applications will be accepted until Sept. 19 and projects to be completed by the end of June 2015. Successful applicants will be announced Oct. 18 at REAL’s annual local food dinner at the Smiths Falls Curling and Squash Club. Submitted by the Rideau Environmental Action League.

COMMENTARY
Election heats up Editorial – There’s just a few short weeks left to file nomination papers for the upcoming municipal election. The nomination period for the election, slated for Thursday, Oct. 27, opened on Jan. 2 and will close on Sept. 11. For those who are on the fence about whether public office is for them, now is your chance. While we’ve seen a large contingent of incumbents opting to run once again in communities such as Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Perth and North Grenville, there have also been newcomers throwing their hats into the ring. Their efforts should be applauded. It’s not an easy to choice to make. There have also been a few surprises: Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples deciding to hang up his council chains this October and just a few weeks ago, longtime Mississippi Mills Coun. Garry Dalgity is vying for the top spot of mayor for the third time in his municipal career. Whether it’s running for municipal council or school board trustee, putting your name on the ballot should not be a decision made lightly. It’s an opportunity to give back to your community and provide a different set of skills around the council table. One should run because they want to make a difference and be a positive influence in the community, not to point out the negative doings of a previous council. Those running should also consider the long hours sitting on council requires. You aren’t just attending a two-hour council session every other Tuesday, but are expected to sit on various sub-committees and a number of boards. It can be an incredibly taxing, yet rewarding experience.

into a good length before you knew it! I would put the dishpan of beans on the bake table, and take a tin pail and go to the pump in the yard and bring in fresh water and pour it into the pan. It was my job then to wash each bean...not a handful at a time, but one bean after another! Then they were laid out on a clean tea towel, and patted dry. Mother fed them into big sealers, poured on boiling brine, put lids on tightly, and turned the jars upside down, and there they sat for two days...not one day, not three days, but two days.

the timing was important, according to Aunt Bertha Thom on the next farm, who taught Mother everything she knew about putting down preserves and vegetables for the winter. The pot of spices simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval would be for the pickled beets. The day before, they had been boiled, cooled, skinned, and were ready for slicing. And then they would join the long line of pickles on the swinging shelf in the dugout. Pickling and preserving went on for weeks. As crops ripened, they were turned into crisp pickles, preserves, jellies and jams with the sole purpose of seeing us through the long cold winters that were commonplace in Renfrew County. But we needn’t worry about ever wanting for something to put on the supper table. By the time the fall weather started, the smoke house would be full of meat, the shelves in the dugout heavy with sealers, and soon the sauerkraut barADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES MANAGER Andrea McMurtry 613-283-3182 x169 SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988

rel would be in a corner of the summer kitchen alongside the salt pork. There never seemed to be enough money for frivolous spending on such luxuries as new hair ribbons when the ones I had could be washed and ironed, or long white stockings when last year’s beige ones were perfectly fine, but we always had ample food to put on the table. Father, believed it was a poor farmer indeed, who in spite of the Depression, couldn’t feed his family. We were indeed poor in the true sense of the word, but our bellies were full, there was enough wood to keep the Findlay Oval humming through the winter. And when I saw that swinging shelf in the dug-out laden with winter stores, I knew for a fact, we were very rich indeed! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Three days left to catch The Railway Children at Smiths Falls’ Station Theatre lyanna, has assembled and directed a strong cast for a play in which younger and older actors share the principal roles. Mother is played by Joni Thornley, who appeared in last year’s production of Pollyanna, and in The Three Musketeers this spring. Peter – the son whose 12th birthday begins with the gift of a wonderful train set and ends in sadness – is played by 10-year-old Samuel Lenser. The roles of Peter’s sisters are shared: Paris Healey and Valerie Brown play Roberta; Grace Lee and Maya Forbes play Phyllis. Father is played by Richard Croteau. Rounding out the other key roles are ďŹ ve adult actors: Kim Chatwood as Mrs. Viney; Brant Daniluk who plays Mr. Perks, the station porter befriended by the children; Josh Rutherford, the local doctor; Hugh McCullough playing a displaced Russian; and Steve McWade, as a wealthy passenger in the train station whom the children enlist to help them. Dozens of production crew deserve credit for the high quality of the overall performance. Special kudos go to Noel White the prime set designer and painter, Bill Hamilton who assisted in set design and headed the construction crew, pianist Rowena Pearl, and Nancy Berthiaume who helped director Daniluk pull the whole enterprise together as producer and stage manager. There’s a coherence to the show that starts as patrons enter the lobby of the Station Theatre to view a display of artifacts from railroading in the past (provided by the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario) and continues inside the theatre as the railway of times past makes its presence felt. The Smiths Falls Community Theatre invites the public to come and enjoy the musical on Friday, Aug. 22 and Saturday, Aug. 23 at 7:30 p.m. and on Aug. 24 at 2 p.m.
The Station Theatre in Smiths Falls has been getting rave reviews for its latest musical, The Railway Children, which continues Aug. 22 to 24. Left, Father (Richard Croteau) watches his son Peter (Samuel Lenser) play with the train set he purchased for his birthday. Below, after the disappearance of Father, the family soldiers on.

Arts – Great seats (there are no “badâ€? seats at the Station Theatre) are available for all performances, but it would be wise to buy now, because the word is out about what a wonderful show, The Railway Children, is. And it’s not just the quality of the ensemble singing. It’s the whole production – from the lovely period costumes, the inventive staging, and the eye-popping quality of the sets. “The best scenery I’ve seen in a Station Theatre production,â€? said one theatre regular on opening night. “And the clever, quick scene changes were impressive.â€? This patron’s granddaughters were equally positive. “I thought all the singers were great throughout the entire performance,â€? said 12-year-old Madelynn Ohman. “The Railway Children was‌ always entertaining the audience with surprises. Their acting was like they have been practicing for years.â€? Her sister, Nadia, was also an appreciative critic: “I think everyone in the theatre that night loved it. Fun for the whole family. It also shows how people in the olden days, helped each other in all the ways possible. Loved it!â€? Set in Yorkshire in 1905, Paul Bexon’s play tells the story of a mother and three children fallen on tougher times when Father leaves home in mysterious circumstances. The two young girls and a boy have to make lifestyle changes, but they are helped along by their fascination with the “railroad dragons,â€? as they call them, the trains that come and go through the tiny village. They delight in watching them, hoping that somehow the trains can take their love to their absent father. Lynda Daniluk, whose most recent successes include The Three Musketeers, Snow White and Pol-
Loss of small bakeries sad chapter in our evolution Lifestyle – I readily admit to having a weakness for baked goods. One of the many reasons I enjoy returning to the United Kingdom, Ireland and Continental Europe on a regular basis is the many excellent bakeries, especially those in smaller communities where they are a staple and attract regular customers on a daily basis. These days I mainly stand and admire the wonderful array of fresh breads, cakes, tarts and pies which are laid out so invitingly and with only a thin pane of glass separating me from them. Dessert is not on the menu for yours truly – not when we are traveling at least! I have a particular weakness for sausage rolls and as my family and friends will tell you I am on a constant quest to locate and sample the very best of this particular baked delicacy. I’ve sampled many of these culinary delights over the years. Most are average, some are truly terrible and others are made with unidentifiable meat and are simply tasteless. Every now and then I find a place which produces the crème de la crème of sausage rolls. Two bakeries immediately spring to mind. The best (THE absolute best) sausage rolls I have ever enjoyed are baked at a small establishment in Richmond, Surrey just west of London and only a few blocks from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The gardens are always worth a visit. But for me a stop at that little bakery is mandatory. Their sausage rolls, which are served delightfully warm, literally melt in your mouth. One Saturday, several years ago, Kathleen and I made a visit to the town of Lewes, East Sussex which is just north of the English seaside resort city of Brighton, one of our favourite UK destinations. Among numerous attractions the market town is famous for its castle (Lewes Castle) built in 1087. Its location offers spectacular views of the rolling, picturesque South Downs. The town is also the site of Anne of Cleves House, a well preserved 16th century residence awarded to Anne of Cleves as part of her divorce settlement by King Henry VIII. A quite remarkable gesture considering the King’s usual treatment of his many wives. While touring the town my stomach told me it was time for a bite of lunch. On the High Street we came across a small bakery from which emanated a fetching aroma. “I think I smell sausage rolls,” I told Kathy. Yes indeed, there were my favourite taste treats sitting invitingly in a warmer. They looked and smelled wonderful and they tasted even better. So good in fact that I broke down and bought another. I will be returning to that bakery the next time we’re on the south coast. My concern, however, is will it still be there? Disappearing fast Bakeries in England are disappearing nearly as fast as public houses.
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
With big supermarkets springing up everywhere across the UK and Ireland, all of them featuring a wide array of baked goods, the little guy can no longer compete. Small, family run bakeries are falling like 10 pins. The same trend long ago enveloped Canada. When communities grow, large supermarkets follow. That’s a good thing in many ways of course. People today want and expect what the big conglomerates have to offer, which is a bit of everything. One-stop shopping. That’s what the majority want. Neighbourhood grocery stores disappeared long ago in most communities. When we first came to Carleton Place 38 years ago there were many such establishments. Today there are none with convenience stores filling part of the void. We are fortunate to have a good bakery here. But at one time small Ontario towns of-
ten featured two or three such establishments. Today you are fortunate to find one in most places. Last week I was saddened to learn of the closure of one of the best small town bakeries in eastern Ontario. Richmond Bakery is no more and with it goes some of the best sausage rolls ever produced in this part of the world. Among many other baked delights of course! Kathy and our son Craig loved their oatmeal cookies. Reports in the Ottawa media say owner Johannes Kunert taped a handwritten note to the front door at the end of the business day on Saturday, Aug. 9. The sign said the bakery was closing and thanked patrons for their support during the 40 years his family operated the bakery. The Kunert family purchased the familiar premises at the corner of Perth and McBean Streets in Richmond in 1974. Evidently the owner ran out of patience trying to operate and compete in a changing marketplace? A spokesperson for Kunert said finding bakers had become extremely difficult and noted “the trade is dying.” I grew up in nearby Stittsville and with Richmond an
easy 15-minute drive away the Richmond Bakery was a regular destination for my family. Last week I spoke to my father Howard about the bakery closure. He founded the Stittsville News and, along with my Uncle Lloyd, operated the newspaper for many years. The weekly (community) newspaper also served Richmond which didn’t have its own paper. Dad said the bakery, which first opened in 1939, was founded by the Brown family, one of the best known families in Richmond. The once thriving business had a steady number of outside clients. Among them were corner stores who sold the bread, doughnuts and cookies produced at Richmond Bakery. Dad says that trend continued after Harold Brown sold the firm to the Kunert family. Gradually the other small businesses which sold Richmond Bakery products closed their doors. The bakery was then forced to rely on walk-in traffic. Obviously it worked for several decades. Sadly the changing marketplace finally caught up with them. I also asked my Dad what his See COLUMN page 12

Arts – Currently playing at the Studio Theatre, Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband is replete with Lords and Ladies, liars and louts, and lots and lot of laughs, usually prompted by the over-the-top foppery of English society.

Come and see how the upper crust crumbles as An Ideal Husband continues this week. Visit studiotheatreperth. com for more information. Submitted photo
Regular stop When I was a teenager attending South Carleton High School in Richmond (the secondary school once served several communities west of Ottawa) my friends and I would often walk the half kilometre or so from the school to the bakery during lunch hours or spares. I always indulged in a sausage roll and a chocolate dipped doughnut too on occasion.

We will miss those products and so many other original baked goods which always made a trip to Richmond Bakery worthwhile. For many years Richmond resisted the growth trend that has transformed my boyhood home of Stittsville. More recently that has changed and the community, which like Stittsville is now part of the expanded City of Ottawa, is experiencing change. With more and larger stores available the buying habits of Richmond residents has undoubtedly changed

News – Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark is reminding local authors not to miss out on making a submission for this year’s Speaker’s Book Award program. “Leeds-Grenville has such a diverse and vibrant arts and culture community, including a wide variety of writers and festivals that celebrate literature,” said Clark. Topics eligible for the program include the books on the history of Ontario and its communities, prominent figures in our society and the development of the province’s parliamentary system. The program gives special consid-
eration to works with a focus on Ontario’s parliamentary heritage and provincial political issues. The deadline to apply is Sept. 19. To be eligible, authors must be Ontario residents and have published their book for the first time within the last two years (reprints and new editions cannot be submitted). More information, including an online application, is available on the Legislative Assembly of Ontario website here: http://educationportal. ontla.on.ca/en/speakersbook-award/speakers-bookaward.

Community – Major losses are inevitable. They happen when they happen, and we often have little control over the nature and timing of them. When we think of loss we usually think of bereavement, that grief following the death of a loved one and expressed in rituals of mourning such as funerals, grave sites, family memorials, and perhaps, eventually, in volunteer or advocacy activities related to the loss. While losses due to death are enormous and life altering, they are not the only major losses we suffer. Others include: divorce, job/career loss, major health changes, loss of home, pet loss, retirement, infertility, miscarriage, end of addictions, major financial changes, or empty nest. These losses can be particularly difficult to deal with because they lack rituals and are not generally acknowledged by others. Grieving these losses is often a very isolated and lonely journey. Whatever the cause of a major loss, grief is extremely painful and prolonged. It can be debilitating at times, it seems like it may never end, and it is common for people to feel rudderless, to lack a sense of meaning in their lives, and to feel they have lost much of their identity. Social support usually vanishes long before the pain associated with the loss, and long before people have started to build a new life for themselves. It is this lack of social support during an extremely difficult time that gave rise to peer support groups. These groups are organized around a particular type of loss and offer people a safe place in which to share their feelings and experiences of loss, to know they are not alone, and to gain comfort from others who truly understand. In support groups the big emotions of grief can be expressed without judgment, and brave faces can be put aside. Peer support groups have much to offer participants. One of the drawbacks, particularly in smaller communities, is the need for group members to suffer the same type of loss. Often there are not enough participants
to run a closed spousal loss group or suicide survivor group, and those who are suffering such losses may go without help. A second drawback of peer support groups is that while participants have the opportunity to share their feelings and be understood in their pain, there is no structured way of helping people move beyond their pain. Grief recovery groups differ from peer support groups in that they do offer a structured way of moving beyond the pain of loss. Further, because the main emphasis is on recovery from grief, rather than on the details of the loss itself, grief recovery groups work for any type of major loss, and groups usually contain people with losses due to death side-by-side with those who have suffered some other major loss. The method used in grief recovery groups is one that was developed by the Grief Recovery Institute in California, and the facilitators of these groups are extensively trained and certified by the institute. The groups are part educational and part experiential, they involve reading and homework, and they offer participants a method for dealing with any unresolved losses in the past, as well as for dealing with future losses. The grief recovery group experience is transformational for those who put in the full effort, and participants’ comments include statements such as “the group was the best thing I ever did,” “the group made all the difference,” “the group was fabulous,” “the group changed my life,” “I wish I’d done it sooner,” or even “I never thought about loss in that way.” For those who are suffering any type of major loss, there is an eight-week grief recovery group, offered in Carleton Place in the fall of 2014. It meets weekly from Tuesday, Oct. 7 to Nov. 25 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The cost is $100 for the eight weeks and includes a book and handouts. Pre-registration is required. Contact certified facilitator Barbara Carroll at barbaracarroll@rogers.com or at 613-883-6646.

skills are improving and my off-leash recall is good! I’m eager to please and willing to learn. But I have a confession to make. I have the “terrible twos”. I don’t like my little kennel at all so when I feel confined I complain and make an awful fuss. When I’m on my walk I’m all waggy and quiet so I think I need lots of exercise to keep me happy and content. What I really need to help me settle down is access to the outdoors and an active household. Wags and licks, Sheldon Budda Hello, this is Budda!

been waiting one month and growing like a weed. Our pictures don’t do justice anymore. We’re wondering why are we still here? I am very handsome you see. I am a young four-month-old guy. People who visit the store ooh and ahh over me without giving me my very own private bed. The people in the store are very nice, they keep me well groomed and well fed but you can do that too, can’t you? They’ll teach you if needed, they said! I’d love to be invited into your home preferably with my sister Betty, you’ll see I am a real hunk of a guy, as that’s
what they keep telling other people. Betty Hello there. I just overheard my brother Budda sending you a note! As he mentioned I am with him at the Pet Valu store in Smiths Falls. You know, I am losing patience a bit, too. We’ve been here together for some time and people keep staring at us, telling us how sweet and pretty we are. Why tell us, and leave us behind? We’re both very good looking and playful sweet cats, aren’t we Bud’? I love the cuddling and grooming sessions with the ladies in the store. They keep me lady like. Just wish we would get a bit more freedom in somebody’s abode, sigh…. Clementine and Chandler Hi there, this is a sweet meow from us at the Pet Valu store in Perth. We, my brother Chandler and I, were sent to the store to be adopted. It hasn’t happened yet and we’re waiting patiently for that special person to take us home. We’re two very playful four-month-old kittens, who’d love to be belly rubbed, get good night kisses. We’ll reward you with a loud purr. You know there is a promotion go-

Appleton Wetland at tipping point states report from Field Naturalists News – The Appleton Wetland is under immediate threat says a detailed scientific report published by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists Aug. 12. The report states that excessive water levels resulting from Enerdu Power Systems Inc.’s current hydro operations are drowning towering silver maple trees upstream, and that the proposed Enerdu expansion in Almonte’s heritage district will kill the very species that anchors a wetland older than the Great Pyramids or Stonehenge. The 76-page report calls for an immediate amendment to the Mississippi River Water Management Plan (MRWMP) overseen by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry that will allow for a “valid operational summer water level” and allow the silver maples to survive, and
that “approval of the current upgrade plan for Enerdu must be delayed until the recommended amendment has been resolved.” ‘The Appleton Wetland: Its Decline, Cause and Recommended Action’, is the result of hundreds of hours of work by a five-member Research Group Chaired by Cliff Bennett, the founding member of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists and the club’s current president. Bennett’s Research Group colleagues include the report’s principal author Al Seaman, Joachim Moenig, Mike O’Malley and Howard Robinson. “Our research results confirm that excessive water levels resulting from Enerdu’s operations are causing the die-off of the silver maples in the Appleton Wetland. In effect, the trees are drowning. The Enerdu op-
erational limits in the existing Mississippi River Water Management Plan clearly do not conform to the priorities of the plan that rank ecological integrity above power generation. Thus an amendment to the plan is urgently required to preserve a wetland that has survived for millennia but is now at a tipping point,” said Bennett. The report is also endorsed by Dr. Paul Keddy, one of Canada’s most prolific and distinguished ecology professors. Based on his 30-year career focused on the study of wetlands at the University of Guelph and University of Ottawa, Keddy stated that, “Further summer flooding will kill the last trees and the thousands of years of development will be ended abruptly. The negative effects will occur not only within the boundaries
of the Appleton Wetland, but will cascade through fish and wildlife populations for many miles downstream. Restore the summer low water periods, and the trees will recover and continue to provide the ecological services that they have provided free for thousands of years.” Continued Dr. Keddy: “Some of the Earth’s most biologically productive habitats are the great swamps that form along water courses. Known as ‘alluvial wetlands’, they are intimately connected with rivers, providing shelter for birds, breeding grounds for fish, habitat for mammals, and generating organic matter that feeds wildlife production for many miles downstream. Some of the better known examples occur in
the Amazon, the Congo, and the Mekong rivers, but every large river floodplain has alluvial wetlands. In eastern Ontario, there are alluvial wetlands along rivers including the Mississippi, Ottawa and St. Lawrence rivers. One of the finest examples is along the Mississippi River.” Interested members of the media will be provided with a copy of the full report with appendices on CD and/or its executive summary by email upon request. About the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists Now in its 25th year of operation, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists provides opportunities to learn about and help conserve the natural world
with people of all age groups and ranging from neophyte nature lovers to knowledgeable field naturalists and experts, with a focus on the pristine Mississippi River Valley. The club offers many activities, from monthly natural history talks, regular nature walks, field trips and canoe/kayak outings and other opportunities to explore many fascinating aspects of our natural world. There are also opportunities to take part in habitat creation projects, trail building, citizen science work, environmental stewardship projects, writing about natural history for club publications, communications and other volunteer work.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.
Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000
from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.
(20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4
As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our he could have even imagined when he made it over 30 years ago. children, youth and families deserve to Moving forward 80 percent of the interest million.

In 25 years $6.4 million a difference in the lives of young patients (80%) will go to the hospital and $1.6 million at CHEO today, and for future generations.

News – It was a long time coming to get much deserved recognition, but the wait was worth it. One surviving serviceman and the families of four Perth-area servicemen were on hand at the Perth branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on the afternoon of Wednesday, Aug. 13 to pay tribute to recipients of the Arctic Star Medal. “It was a long time coming, and I am glad I was around to receive it,” said Albert Edward Revie after the ceremony, which honoured Canadian soldiers like himself who had helped ships navigate the icy waters above the Arctic Circle, to keep Canada’s ally Russia supplied during the war. Perth’s Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, himself an ex-military man, brought greetings from town council and stated that “it’s very fitting that this very overdue ceremony be held in Perth.” Gemmell was part of the Legion committee that was seeking out families of veterans – and veterans themselves – who would be eligible to receive this medal. “It’s hard for me to be excited,” said Gemmell. “I’ve been around the block a few times.” But when he contacted the family of Carl Joseph Quartermain a few weeks ago, he admitted that he was very excited to be relaying the news. Gemmell added that the ‘Murmansk Run,’ was called by Sir Winston Churchill, Britain’s wartime leader, “the worst journey in the world,” which made it all the more important that their contribution be honoured. The Legion’s Terry O’Hearn told the crowd that they had first heard about the Arctic Star medal in 2011 from a
newspaper article reporting on British veterans getting their medals – and that Canadians may also soon be eligible for their service in the Far North. The Legion formed a committee to assist veterans and next-of-kin in obtaining this medal for their loved ones. “Then, on May 1 of this year, the Legion announced that it was official – they said, ‘Canadian World War Two veterans of the ‘Murmansk Run,’ are now eligible to wear their Arctic Star medals’, thanks in part to the strong advocacy of the Legion,” said O’Hearn. The veterans’ files had originally been sent to the British Ministry of Defence, but were returned to Veterans Affairs Canada. What happened next “really surprised me,” said O’Hearn. After the “red tape (had) proceeded along at a leisurely pace for some time,” in London, upon the return of the documents to Ottawa, “things really sped up.” Medal history Supplying the Soviets started late in the summer of 1941, with Allied convoys sailing to the Far North Russian ports of Murmansk and Archangel. Canadian merchant sailors served on Allied ships making these runs in hostile waters patrolled by Nazi submarines and other vessels. The Arctic Star is granted to sailors and airmen for operational service of any length from Sept. 3, 1939 to May 8, 1945 where it was conducted north of the Arctic Circle on the Greenland Sea, Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea. It is intended to commemorate the arctic convoys. Army personnel who also served on board the navy ships are also eligible for the medal, or who served on land as well.

trained as a shipwright in Hamilton, Ont. He joined the HMCS Puncher in Halifax, taking part in convoy duty between the Nova Scotia capital, Glasgow, Scotland and Murmansk, Russia. He received four medals for his wartime service – the 1939-45 Star, the Atlantic Star, the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal and the 1939-45 War Medal. He died in 1994. • Thomas O’Hearn was born in Gananoque, Ont., in 1919. He joined the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve in July of 1940, and was discharged with the rank of Stoker Petty Officer, First Class, after the war ended in August of 1945. He first saw service on the corvette HMCS Fredericton, and then joined the crew of the Canadian frigate HMCS Waskesiu in June 1943. He was in the engine room when the Waskesiu sank the German u-boat U-257 on Feb. 24, 1944, in the north Atlantic. It was the first submarine kill of the war for a Canadian frigate. He was awarded the 1939-45 Star, Atlantic Star with France and Germany bar, Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, and the 1939-45 War Medal. He died in March of 2004. • Carl Joseph Quartermain was born in Perth on July 29, 1924 and graduated from Perth and District High School. In July of 1942, when he was just 18, he and a friend travelled to Kingston and signed up with the Royal Canadian Navy. He trained as a torpedoman, and joined the frigate HMCS Grou. In March of 1944, the Grou was assigned to escort group six out of Londonderry, County Derry, Northern Ireland, and in April, the ship sailed to Kola Bay, Russia, escorting convoy RA59 back to Allied waters. Grou was present on D-Day, conducting See MEDAL page P4

gation continues. Road concerns Concerns have been raised at Perth town council and elsewhere about the safety of the road, which runs so close to the water, before this incident. Perth Mayor John Fenik, speaking by phone from the Lanark County Warden’s annual golf tournament, said that his thoughts and prayers were with the young woman and her family. He also took time out from his golf game to have a

“serious” discussion with Drummond/North Elmsley Township Reeve Aubrey Churchill about the road, which cuts through both municipalities. He reported that they have been discussing options for the road, including floating the idea of closing it off entirely, and routing drivers to a back road to reach the Tay River Reflections spa that is at the end of the road. “Those discussions will go forward and continue,” said Fenik. “It hits home.”

board chair, Stephanie Gray stated that the new formula was “a substantial savings for Perth.” She also revealed that Lang Britchford, the town’s treasurer, was already in the process of working on a spread sheet to crunch the numbers on the new formula, to get a final, hard number to present to council. By basing a portion of the costs on calls for service, she pointed out that “it is a good incentive for municipalities to work with the OPP on strategies… [to] focus on where the problems are,” but added that “in the past, it had been very heavily based on calls for service.” She also noted that the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) had been pushing for an adjusted formula such as this for several years, to address “a huge discrepancy,” whereby some municipalities were paying more than $800 per household for policing – and others were paying a scant $6 for policing. Highlands’ wait and see In Lanark Highlands, which pays under the former police formula about $175 per household for policing costs could see an increase of about 15 per cent, but Coun. Derek Love, chair of the police services board, said he was not sure what the formula would mean for his area. “I’m waiting for the OPP. They will be advising us,” said Love, during a telephone interview on Monday, Aug. 18. “We don’t know at this time…what we will be paying in the future.” Love predicted that the new formula could yet be amended to spread the payments around, not only to households but to business properties too. But no matter what the new costs will be, “if we keep a low cost rate, our calls for service, that’s a savings for us.”

The town treasury has estimated that it is saving about $700,000 per year on policing costs by going with the OPP and, with this latest formula change, it will save a further $1.2 million a year according to Mayor John Fenik. “That would cut our policing costs in half,” said Fenik during a telephone interview from the Lanark County Warden’s golf tournament Friday, Aug. 15. He estimated that savings could go into a reserve fund to pay for infrastructure improvements, and even repair roads damaged by last winter’s bad weather. But Fenik was not without sympathy for his rural neighbours. “That’s unfortunate for those municipalities,” said Fenik. “But it was about being transparent.” Coun. Jim Graff, who was a major opponent of bringing in the OPP, pointed out that the new formula does not mean that Perth can rest on its laurels. “It puts the onus on us as a community… to keep those service calls down,” said Graff, during a telephone interview on Friday, Aug. 15, since the new 60/40 split will see part of the formula based on calls for service. The Perth police services board member noted that to keep costs down, he would like to see uniformed sidewalk duty increased. “It is good for the store owners, good for the citizens,” he said, and would keep calls for service down. While the province used to shoulder a lot more of the financial burden of policing in the past, now, “it’s such an expensive process that… the province is not in a position that they can absorb that cost.” On the civilian side, the Perth police services

FATAL FIRE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS:
The investigation into a tragic fire in Western Ontario, in March of 2013, that claimed the lives of four family members, has concluded. The Office of the Fire Marshal released information on the origin, cause and circumstances of this devastating fire. The investigation has determined that the clothes dryer in the home had not been installed or maintained as per dryer manufacturer’s instructions and there was no smoke alarm on the main floor, delaying the discovery of the fire by the occupants. According to provincial data: u A leading cause of dryer fires in homes is the lack of dryer maintenance. u In 2012, clothes dryers were responsible for 132 of the 6,326 (or two per cent of) residential fires that occurred in Ontario. The Perth Fire Department encourages homeowners: u To install working smoke alarms on every level of your home, near laundry rooms and outside all sleeping areas; u To develop and practice home escape plans that take into account the unique configurations of their homes and those occupants who, due to physical limitations, may require assistance to escape. In addition, take note of the following dryer recommendations: Installation: u Have your dryer installed and serviced by a professional. u If you are installing your own dryer, follow the manufacturer’s instructions before installing the dryer vent. Determine the straightest and most direct venting path to the outdoors to reduce the likelihood of lint accumulation in bends or elbows. u Use rigid or flexible metal ducting for venting to the outdoors. Plastic or metal foil ducts are more prone to kinking, sagging and crushing, which leads to lint build-up. Plastic ducting is also more prone to ignition and melting. u Clothes dryers located in closet-type spaces or totally enclosed rooms (e.g. in apartments) should have sufficient incoming air for proper operation (see manufacturer’s instructions). Always: u Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the safe use of the dryer. u Inspect and clean the lint screen after each load of laundry. The build-up of lint can lead to a fire. Regularly remove lint from metal ducts and exhaust vents. The inside of the dryer cabinet should be cleaned as per manufacturer’s instructions. u Regularly inspect the air exhaust to ensure it is not restricted and the outdoor vent flap opens when the dryer is operating. u Turn the dryer off if you leave home or when you go to bed. u Keep the area around the dryer clear of items that can burn. u Install a carbon monoxide alarm in your home if using a natural gas or propane dryer, stove, fireplace, furnace or hot water tank. u Ensure there are working smoke alarms on every level of the home and outside all sleeping areas. Do Not: u Overload the dryer. u Exhaust the dryer indoors. u Dry materials or fabrics that have been saturated by chemicals, oils or gasoline. Even after washing, these substances can start a fire during the drying cycle. u Dry natural or synthetic rubber, rubber-coated sneakers, galoshes, foam pillows or any garment with foam padding (e.g. blouses with shoulder pads, bras, bicycle shorts). u Dry garments that have been cleaned with dry-cleaning fluid. u Use a dryer without a lint filter, or with a lint filter that is loose, damaged or clogged. These dryer fire safety tips are brought to you by the Perth Fire Department and the Office of the Fire Marshal.
HOLIDAY CLOSURE AT PERTH LANDFILL SITE:
u Please note that the Perth Landfill Site, 666 Wildlife Road, will be closed in recognition of the Labour Day Holiday, on Monday and Tuesday, September 1st and 2nd, 2014. Regular business hours will resume on Wednesday, September 3rd at 8am.
HOME FIRE SAFETY TIPS FOR FALL:
With the upcoming fall season approaching us, the urge may present itself for you to throw a log into the wood stove or start up the furnace to take the chill off the morning air. The Perth Fire Department recommends that all home owners have their heating systems maintained before the heating season begins. Faulty furnaces not only waste energy, but they pose carbon monoxide and fire hazards. Gas, oil, propane and wood burning appliances as well as all chimneys should be inspected and cleaned by qualified contractors, to ensure all components are in good working condition. Squirrels or birds may have built nests in your chimney over the summer months and that could pose a real hazard when you start up your heating appliances. Test your smoke detectors monthly. Batteries in smoke detectors should be changed in or around the end of October to coincide with the changing of daylight saving time to standard time. Smoke detectors are required on all levels of your homes. New this fall, Carbon Monoxide detectors will be law in Ontario. Install one today if you use natural gas or propane to run clothes dryers, stoves, fire places, furnaces or hot water tanks. For any enquires about home safety, please contact the Perth Fire Department at 613-267-5574. Remember to use 911 in an emergency only.
PERTH POOL DAY CAMPERS LEARN TO PLAY TENNIS:

This was a win for everybody – the Pool Day Camp was able to offer a more diverse program, the campers enjoyed the tennis and will want to continue playing, and the Tennis Club may garner some new members! The youth racquets were donated to the Club by Canadian Tire. The Tennis Club hired local resident and school teacher Stefan Sagat to provide the instruction. Stefan is available for private adult tennis lessons during August.

Coun. Jim Graff seeks re-election, calls for more summer trade shows
Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Coun. Jim Graff will be running for re-election in October. “I’ve really enjoyed the challenges of being in public office,” said Graff, during a telephone interview on Friday, Aug. 15. This is only his first term of office, having been elected in 2010, but he said that, for a long time, it had “been my firm intention to run. I did want to run again.” Part of what helped him in his first four years of elected office was that his family was there for him. He also credits his deep roots in the community for helping in his decision making on council. “I was fortunate to be born here and fortunate to get the hell out for 15 years,” he said with a laugh. By moving away from Perth for a few years, “you realize just how lucky you are,” and that Perth was a “safe place to raise your kids.” Though his chil-
dren Gordon and Lee were born in Guelph, Ont., “if you ask them where they are from, they say, ‘Perth.’” This is his first re-election bid, and he admits that this race will be different from four years ago because not only is he an incumbent and not a challenger this time out, but he also has his eyes open wider. “This past term, it has opened my eyes to the complexity of providing those (town) services,” he said. To keep town hall operating smoothly, “you need a lot of people moving in the same direction.” He noted that he has especially enjoyed committee work during this past term since it is also “a chance for citizens to contribute to the town,” even if they do not want to necessarily run for council themselves. “You get a better perspective on what the citizens of the town want to direct it.” He noted that there are several proud points coming out of town
hall in the past term, including adding capacity to the sewage lagoon. “For future development, it was critical,” he said. “It’s opening the door for future development.” During the soon-to-end term, Graff guaranteed himself a footnote in the town’s history as the only councillor to vote against winding down the Perth Police Service in favour of contracting the town’s policing to the OPP. “I fought against the OPP… because I put a lot of value in our Perth police,” he said. “Now we need to make it (the OPP) as good as it can be.” In the upcoming term, finalizing negotiations and coming to an amicable solution on the town’s 10-year official plan are a priority. The plan’s population growth projections are at odds with the county’s official plan, and it is hoped that ongoing negotiations can find a resolution, which Graff feels is “necessary
to increase future growth.” He added that whatever the population growth projections are they are also tied to possible grant money. Other future priorities for the next council include the arterial road, getting new Haggart dams set up, and ramping up planning for the town’s bicentennial in 2016. On a related matter, he wants to continue to build on the progress made on the tourism file in recent years. “I’d like to see us go after summer trade shows,” he said,
utilizing the town’s parks and bringing in an aeration program, especially for Stewart Park, calling it “a jewel, but it is not at its full potential.” He added that he would like to see more tournaments at places like Conlon Farm. “Our baseball made leaps and bounds in terms of the number of kids participating,” he said. He commended Mike McLean, owner of the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings hockey team for the improvements he made to the municipal arena, but added that the town still had work of its own
to do at the facility. Graff’s candidacy continues a line of incumbents (John Fenik, John Gemmell, Judy Brown) who have decided to run for re-election. Only Coun. Beth Peterkin has decided not to run for another term. Remembering the acclamations for mayor and deputy mayor in 2010, Graff noted, “I hope we have some good citizens who will run for council. You don’t want to see a council completely replaced but new blood and new ideas is a healthy thing… It shouldn’t be all acclaimed, acclaimed, acclaimed.”

News – The 169th Perth Fair is almost ready to roll, and this year it will happen Aug. 29 to Sept. 1, Labour Day weekend. This year’s schedule of events is as full as ever, and returning patrons will notice some changes to the order of events. The gates open at noon on Friday, and everyone has a chance to enjoy the Robertson Amusements midway with a pay-one-price bracelet ($25), from noon until 6 p.m. Midway tickets can also be purchased in advance at PJ’s in Perth until noon Aug. 29. Advance weekend passes are also available at PJ’s. Opening ceremonies will be held in the grandstand area at 7 p.m., and local dignitaries will be welcomed, other area fair presidents, as well as Perth’s Town Crier, Brent McLaren, to cry in the fair. At 8:30 p.m. Friday, the Perth Fair is very pleased to present Charlie Major to the stage for entertainment. Major is a long time icon in the Canadian music industry. He has been pigeon holed into the country genre, but truly his songs and style appeal to everyone. Opening for Major is local artist, Delaney Grant, a 17-year-old singer/songwriter born and raised in Pakenham. She brings her lovely voice and talents to the stage at 8 p.m. Saturday’s big entertainment is the always popular Demolition Derby, and once again Perth is welcoming Extreme Productions to put on this show. Be sure to get there early to secure your seating and cheer on your local driver. The event starts at 7 p.m. in the grandstand area. Sunday evening there is excellent local entertainment starting at 7 p.m. and will begin with Jessica Wedden, a talented young musician who plays the fiddle like nobody’s business and will have your toes tapping while putting a smile on your face. Then the Clyne Brothers will keep the party going with lots of favourites to enjoy. Remember to bring your lawn chair, and get a prime location to watch the show. Be sure to enjoy the hospitality of the Perth Fair’s Beer Garden, back this year, which offers premium viewing of all grandstand shows. If you prefer a quieter area to rest, make yourself welcome in the Lions Hall, which has plenty of seating or the Lions Club who will also be serving from their bar. Families are welcome in the Lions Hall as it offers a place to sit and enjoy your fair food. For family events at the Perth Fair, there is a full weekend scheduled. A note to parents – the children’s area (also known as the Barnabe’s Entertainment/Ag Tent) has been moved from the infield to the Fantasy Farm at the north end of the grounds. All weekend we will have the wild scales of Little Ray’s Reptiles with shows happening multiple times daily and displays to check out. The Perth Fair Junior Players puppet shows at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. The Pedal Pull Races for kids allow youth to test their strength at 1 p.m., with registration starting at 12:30.

Cop costing a raw deal for rural areas
Editorial – Sorry Kathleen, you may need to take this one back to the drawing board. The Wynne government announced its new OPP funding formula last week to rave reviews for some – namely, towns like Carleton Place and Perth – and, perhaps some jeers from other area townships. The new funding formula was supposed to make things more equitable and transparent. And who wouldn’t want to iron out wrinkles in a system that would see some areas paying more than $800 per household for policing costs, while other areas pay as little as $6 per household? However, for this area anyway, and we are sure elsewhere, all it has done is shift the weight of paying for policing from more urban and suburban areas, and placed it on the shoulders of rural areas. One need only look at the dismal picture in Tay Valley Township as one example of just how dire things are. According to Reeve Keith Kerr, policing costs are set to rise by about 200 per cent, from $130 per household to between $299 and $350 per household. This could mean a 20 per cent tax increase come next year, when the new formula kicks in on New Year’s Day, 2015. The new council will either have to cut services or cut taxes, or a combination of both. It won’t be pretty. Not surprising then that Kerr and other rural politicians are feeling each other out on the possibility of an eastern Ontario police force, policing rural areas that can no longer foot their own bill. Just down the road, as Tay Valley faces the prospect of having to delay road and bridge repairs, Perth is celebrating the new formula. Why wouldn’t
We spent the weekend in Toronto visiting some great friends and some cool fish. As usual, the car journey represented some opportunities for column fodder. We tend to make an annual summer trek to the Big Smoke, and it seems that at some point during the weekend, every year, Groom-boy’s car gets very excited about it. Last year on the Gardiner Expressway he accelerated quickly to get into another lane and his car took the opportunity to purge a giant cloud of black exhaust. The first time it happened, it scared the pants off of us – not to mention the cars behind us, which backed off considerably. There was no backfire sound, but enough smoke to make us wonder if we should pull over and do a circle check or drive to the nearest garage. We’re not sure why it does it since it’s a fairly new car. This year we were travelling on the winding road between Westport and
they? Currently, town residents pay $780 per household for policing. Had they stuck it out with the old Perth Police Service, taking into account three per cent for inflation, that number would have been $950. Instead, residents could save as much as $420 with policing costs due to fall to $360 per household in the new year. On top of the $700,000 the town treasury estimates it saves annually by contracting the OPP to police the town, Perth Mayor John Fenik is estimating that the new formula will save residents $1.2 million a year. That’s nearly $2 million – money which Fenik surmises could be put into an infrastructure fund, at the same time when Tay Valley is having to delay its own infrastructure. How is this equitable? All councils throughout Lanark County have signed on to asking the Ottawa Police Service for a costing. There have also been preliminary discussions as well about the Smiths Falls Police Service extending its range to cover off Montague Township. If the numbers from Ottawa come back good, and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and his council sign off, only Beckwith, Montague and Mississippi Mills will be able to take advantage of Ottawa’s police service, at first. So, we find ourselves back at the drawing board. As always in politics, there are winners and losers. But while we do not begrudge taxpayers in our towns finally getting some much-needed relief, and some areas do need to realize the full cost of policing, making policing costs gobble up so much of a rural township’s budget is just as bad as the old downloading days of then-Premier Mike Harris.
Captain who and his trusty sidekicks
Kingston en route to Toronto. We were stuck behind a slow guy who had an alarming tendency to ride the centre line, and we were anxious to get around him. There aren’t many opportunities to pass on that road, so when one finally came along, Groom-boy tromped on the gas. You guessed it – enormous cloud of black smoke. The annual blow-out. “Engage smokescreen,” we hooted, because we are a family of owls. We giggled for miles. It didn’t affect the slow guy we had passed, but the car that had been directly behind us dropped way back. We have that effect on people once a year. It also earned Groom-boy a new nickname by Girlchild: Captain Carfart. (Am I allowed to say that word in a family newspaper? Heehee. Feel free to call him that if you see him.) By the time we’d stopped laughing and reached the 401, we had moved on to licence plates. I’ve mentioned before
Past Deadline
STEPHANIE GRAY
(at least once or 35 times), that when I was a kid and we went on family road trips, I would write down every licence plate I saw. There weren’t many personalized plates back then, but I recorded an abundance of American and out-ofprovince plates. Pretty colours! That was before you needed to sell your first-born child to afford gas. People travelled far. (You’re in luck, Boychild. Toronto is close.) Girlchild has picked up the tradition, except she records hers electronically. Times change. So we were moving along nicely, managing to avoid engaging the smoke-
screen, when we spied a car with the licence plate AUG 14 04. Interesting, especially since it happened to be Aug. 14, 2014. It was a young couple – perhaps the date marked their wedding anniversary? Maybe a birthday? Birth of a child? Day someone got a driver’s licence or bought the car? Day they had successful surgery? First job? First communion? We were tempted to roll down the window and honk and holler something generically congratulatory, but what if the date was marking something terrible? Or what if they were angry maniacs who would have thought our congratulatory gestures were something aggressive and road ragey? So we kept driving. It also occurred to us they might have had the licence plate so long that they forgot they even had it. Maybe they had been driving along all day, people pointing at them, getting friendly waves and thumbs up and big smiles from the optimistic people and

averted eyes from the pessimistic ones. Maybe they were getting totally creeped out by the whole thing. “Why is everyone pointing and staring today, honey?” the man would say. “I don’t know,” the woman would answer, “but don’t forget we need to get some catnip to celebrate Fluffy’s 10th birthday today.” “Good memory!” he would say. “I really need to write that down somewhere.” “Yeah,” she would say. “Umm, stay back from that grey sedan.

Letter appreciated by walking tour organizers DEAR EDITOR
Melodie Levitt’s recent love letter to Perth in the Perth Courier celebrating our town’s heritage was much appreciated. All summer long we have had the immense privilege of meeting people from all over the world on our Perth through the Ages theatrical historic walking tour (a partnership of the Classic Theatre Festival, Matheson House Museum and the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization). Though they may come from countries with extensive histories of their own, visitors have been wowed by walking the streets of our heritage town. They love hearing about the stories and
people behind the beautiful architecture, which provides the perfect backdrop for our youth theatre training project, presented with the assistance of the Perth Tourism, Perth & District Community Foundation, Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund, and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. While the current tour runs five mornings a week at 11 a.m. until Aug. 31 (starting at Matheson House on Gore Street), we are planning a brand new show with new characters and stories for summer 2015. Stay tuned at classictheatre.ca. Submitted by Desmond Peter Devoy Laurel Smith Artistic Producer, Actors carry out a scene from the Aug. 13 edition of the Perth Classic Theatre Festival Through the Ages historical walking tour of Perth.

Aug. 27 auction features 1901-style household pieces
Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
various environmental programs while reducing waste to landfills by accepting and selling items at the REAL Deal that weren’t wanted but were usable nonetheless. The announcement to demolish the brick home at 140 Elmsley St. met with a petition of support to preserve the structure as a heritage property. However, various considerations resulted in the town voting to demolish the building. Demolition has been put on hold for two weeks to allow for the retrieval of this valuable material to be taken from the home.
Volunteers worked hard to remove the extremely heavy Beckwith stone window sills from the brick home at 140 Elmsley in Smiths Falls this past week. The stone is from the Beckwith quarry, which has since closed, but was commonly used for construction in the early 1900s. An auction is planned Aug. 27, 5 p.m. at the REAL Deal in Smiths Falls (William Street) to sell many items, including these sills. Submitted photo
R0012856216_0821
Events - Homeowners renovating their circa-1900 homes won’t want to miss an upcoming auction in Smiths Falls Aug. 27 where many authentic pieces will be available for purchase. The auction will take place at the REAL Deal store (on William Street in Smiths Falls) at 5 p.m. with a 4 p.m. viewing hour scheduled. Sue Brandum, executive director of the REAL Deal is pleased the many fantastic heritage pieces will be repurposed with funds from the auction going towards REAL’s (Rideau Environmental Action League) environmental efforts. “I think it will be a lot of fun,” Brandum added. It’s the best way to get the fairest price.” A big thank you goes to Dan Peters Auction who has donated their time and talents for the special event in addition to a truck for transporting items from the house to the store in Smiths Falls. Brandum has been so pleased with the amount of community support she has seen for this project from local trades people donating their time to local businesses stepping up to help. “Guy Saumure & Sons Construction have been incredibly, incredibly helpful to us,” Brandum said. The company has transported the very heavy iron radiators and their fittings to the store. The auction will feature a number of
1900-era pieces including solid wood baseboards and window trim, doors (complete with frames), metal grates and radiators, etc. Another big salvage is the rescue of some of the Beckwith stone window sills that were part of the house. These pieces of solid stone were formed by local masons and included a drip line so no rain water ran into the walls of the house. In addition, pieces from two former tear downs REAL volunteers have undertaken last year will also be on offer at the auction. Brandum said the demolition of 140 Elmsley Street has taught them a lot about what needs to be done to conduct such work. “I’ve learned so much,” Brandum added. “We are looking at doing more of it” in the future. Anyone interested in having REAL conduct a tear down can call Sue at 613267-2257. Some pleasant finds have been discovered such as the transom windows in the attic, a third sliding door in one of the house’s walls, and the discovery of a family valentine and two small pictures behind the old fireplace. Two Saturdays ago, Brandum met with the grandson of one of the house’s former owners who spoke of many family meals and fond memories. “We were able to give these [pictures and valentine] to him so the family had those,” Brandum said.

Saturday Night Special mystery author readings continue Aug. 23 most readers of mysteries, I love nothing better than to become engrossed in a good fast-paced mystery, one that keeps me guessing until the very end. So I have endeavoured to create action-packed plots with enough twists and turns to keep the ending a complete surprise. In fact, these twists and turns often keep even me, the writer, in suspense.� “When I set out to write the Meg Harris mystery series, I wanted to make the setting an integral part of the story,� Harlick says. “I chose a setting I know and love well, the endless forests and waterways of west Quebec that stretch northward from the Ottawa River to the shores of James Bay.� Wiken, who describes herself as “author, former bookseller, chorister and Siamese cat lover,� has had her short stories appear in the seven Ladies’ Killing Circle anthologies (three of which she co-edited), and in the magazines Mysterious Intent and Over My Dead Body. She has been short-listed for an Arthur Ellis Award, Best Short Story, from Crime Writers of Canada. Wiken’s sense of the criminal world is a logical result of volunteering with the Ottawa Police Service for more than 15 years, where she developed what she calls “a strong, sometimes scary interest in police procedures.� She wrote weekly crime statistics articles for the local community newspapers for them, along with stories for the internal police newsletter. She also sang with the Ottawa Police Chorus for several years.

Arts – The Classic Theatre Festival’s Saturday Night Specials – an opportunity to meet and hear readings from some of Canada’s top mystery and thriller/crime writers – got off to a strong start last week with appearances by Barbara Fradkin and Vicki Delany. The inclement weather on Saturday provided the perfect atmospheric “dark and stormy night� setting to launch the series, which coincides with the festival’s production of Dial M for Murder. Anyone who has tickets for Dial M for Murder during the month of August can attend the 7 p.m. readings for free. Produced in conjunction with the Capital Crime Writers, the first Saturday Night Special featured some background on the decades-old organization as well as some behindthe-scenes exploration of the way in which both writers work. Both read from their latest novels, had a chance to sit in the audience and watch the production of Dial M for Murder, and signed copies during intermission in the festival’s book sale area. “Even if you weren’t much of a murder mystery reader before the Saturday Night Specials, it is clear that you will become a fan once you meet these amazing writers and hear their stories,� says festival associate producer Matthew Behrens, himself normally a non-fiction fan. “I know that I for one will be picking up some of the titles that were on display and gobbling them up. They really speak to the human condition in a gentle, accessible fashion, and make for perfect summer reading, even if the weather is more fall-like these days,� he went on to add. The lineup for Saturday, Aug. 23 at 7 p.m. features R.J. Harlick and Linda Wiken. Harlick, the creator of the Meg Harris mystery series, says, “Like

FAMILY REUNION
BULLOCK, Steven Wayne – In memory of a dear son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle who passed away August 22, 2012. He is gone, but not forgotten, As it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near. To us you were so special, What more is there to say, Except to wish with all our hearts, That you were here today. They say time heals everything, But we know it isn’t so, Because it hurts as much today, As it did two years ago. Love and dearly missed Mom, Dad and family

Huge Expendables 3 cast offers plenty of action, action, action These guys have no problem making fun of each other and themselves. You watch them, and it feels like a bunch of friends having a good time. Not to mention each one is an outstanding action hero in their own right. Stallone, Statham, Lun-
MOVIE: The Expendables
STARRING: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Wesley Snipes, Dolph Lundgren, Kelsey Grammer, Antonio Banderas, Rhonda Rousey, Kellan Lutz, Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson DIRECTOR: Patrick Hughes Arts – The Expendables 3 is how you make an action movie. This is mindless action done right. This is mindless action at its best. No one is going into The Expendables because of the dramatic and intricate storyline. There is a story. It’s really just an excuse for a lot of explosions, gun fights and martial arts scenes, but there is a story. Basically Barney (Sylvester Stallone) and the boys bust an old friend, Doc (Wesley Snipes) out of jail, and then take off to stop an illegal arms deal. It’s there they run into a bit of trouble. An old enemy, someone they thought was dead, is the arms dealer. Stonebanks
My Take mark haskins
(Mel Gibson) is as evil as they come, and in the ensuing gun battle he takes out Caesar (Terry Crews). The Expendables make it out, and get Caesar to a hospital, but it’s at that point Barney decides it’s time to disband the team. Barney is still going after Stonebanks, and with the help of Bonaparte (Kelsey Grammer), he puts together a new team of Expendables. These guys are young, hungry and ready for action. Everything goes right to plan until Barney gets blown off a bridge, and everyone else gets captured. In order to rescue the new team Barney has to get back the old team. From there it’s all out war. So why does The Expend-
ables work when a lot of other action films fall apart? It’s because The Expendables isn’t trying be anything it isn’t. They aren’t trying to act, they aren’t worried about dialogue, and there’s no need for character development. This film is all about explosions, improbable action sequences, and as much ammunition as you can put in the air. The Expendables is what it is and what it is, is some of the best action of the summer. It’s hard to know where to begin with a cast this large. First off I don’t think they even bothered with a script. It seems like they were just ad libing one-liners the whole time which is awesome.

dgren, Crews, and Couture are fantastic. Kellan Lutz, Rhonda Rousey, Victor Ortiz, Glen Powell, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Kelsey Grammer, and Harrison Ford are all fine additions to the cast. It’s always fun to see Schwarzenegger and Li mix

Saving for your first home Every day, you check real estate listings online. On the weekends, you drive through neighbourhoods seeking out For Sale signs. So, it may be safe to say, you’re on the fast track to purchasing your first home. You’re not alone: In 2013, 57% of new homes were purchased by first time buyers*. But are you financial prepared for potentially the largest purchase you’ll ever make? Do you have enough money for the down payment and for the monthly household costs that will follow for many years? • Good questions – and ones that Canadian home buyers plan to approach in a variety of ways.30% of buyers plan to have at least a 20% down payment**. The minimum down payment in Canada is 5% with the average down payment ranging from 5%20% of the home price. • A down payment of less than 20% (called a high ratio mortgage) requires mandatory mortgage default insurance offered through a provider such as Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Genworth Canada, or Canada Guaranty that protects the lenders in case of borrower default. The premiums are calculated as a percentage
Manage Your Money of your mortgage amount and are paid off over the life of your loan. By applying a higher down payment, the default insurance premium will be lower. (Note: Home prices over $1 million require a minimum 20% down payment.) The amount of your down payment effects: • The home price you can afford. • The size of your mortgage and monthly payment amount. • The amount of mortgage default insurance you’ll pay. The sources for your down payment can be: • Saving a fixed amount from each paycheque, selling investments or personal property, or borrowing from family or friends. • The Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) that allows you to withdraw up to $25,000 from assets held within your RRSP ($50,000 per couple, assuming they meet the criteria) for a down payment without any immediate tax consequences. The withdrawal is repayable in equal installments over a 15 year period to avoid income inclusion.
• A Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) allows you to make withdrawals at any time for any purpose. There are no restrictions on the amount withdrawn or obligation to repay, unlike the HBP, and you won’t encounter related tax issues down the road. Buying your first home and figuring out how to pay for it isn’t as easy as it might seem – and your choices will stay with you for many, many years. Your professional advisor can help you make the right choices for you.

Robin Williams’ sudden death prompts local talk on suicide Desmond Devoy

message he ever sent out into the world.” But he hastened to add that his anger was not directed at Williams, “it was protectiveness toward everyone else. In that moment, I said to my wife, I had to give a talk on suicide. Now, not later.” While the talk is not about Williams,
health professionals to attend, he has not formally requested that they do, but he hopes that the question and answer session during the final hour will “bring out the perspectives of any mental health professionals who may be in attendance.”
Neufeld is also encouraging attendees to bring along any suicide or mental health-related materials and resources with them and “set them out on a table that I will make available for that purpose…the purpose of this event is the dialogue that we will have. That is the resource that people will take away.”
NOW is an ideal time of year to plant trees, shrubs and perennials. Let us plant a “late summer sizzler” planter while you wait this Friday! R0012858038_0821
News – The late comedian Robin Williams left behind a legacy of laughter and, one local author and public speaker is hoping, a new opportunity to bring the subject of suicide out of the shadows. This Saturday, Aug. 23, from 10 a.m. to noon, Calvin Neufeld will be hosting an open forum on suicide at the Perth and District Union Public Library, 33 Herriott St., in the Marguerite Frizell Meeting Room on the second floor. Though he has spoken out about suicide and mental illness before, the shocking way in which Williams took his own life opened up an opportunity for people to speak more publicly about the issue. On the evening of Monday, Aug. 11, Neufeld was sitting down to dinner with his family when his wife told him the news. At first, “I didn’t believe her. I said, ‘You’re joking,” he wrote via an email exchange with The Perth Courier last week from Montreal. He would not even believe the Facebook posts she showed him marking his death at the age of 63. He admitted that he was crying as he wrote about the recollection, “and then, I felt angry. Too much suicide! Everywhere there is suicide! And then this.” He felt that another person had given up, but, it being Williams, it meant “the permanent staining of every good
Neufeld admitted that “his death is just what prompted me to finally and urgently speak on this subject.” Even at that, he admits that Williams’ death touched people so much because “we all felt connected to him… every one of us. When you feel connected to someone, you feel their loss.” Neufeld has, by his own estimation, spent “half a lifetime” talking about suicide, as well as depression, mental illness and his own personal battles. “Hating myself, trying to be someone I wasn’t, and the difficult journey from a shattered life to its rebuilding,” as he describes it. He has spoken on issues such as mental illness, bullying, and sexual and gender diversity at schools, universities, and communities. One of his most recent talks was held at The Stewart School this past April as part of a larger series of talks on mental health. He sees suicide as an “epidemic,” and “I’m not shy to talk about it, and that seems to get people talking about it. If we don’t talk about this stuff, it’ll get the better of us.” He does point out that he has no mental health credentials or qualifications, but only that he is providing a positive space to talk about these issues. “I have corresponded with many suicidal people,” he wrote, many who have attended his talks. “I have insight to offer that I think can help.” While he is encouraging mental

Amy Millar is heroic in prestigious Grand Prix come so close, but it was my lucky day and I got the win. There’s nothing better than that feeling!” The win marked Millar’s first grand prix victory since 2009 when she won the $50,000 Grand Prix at the Caledon National tournament in Palgrave, Ont., riding Costa Rica Z. “He’s brand new to me. I’ve had him about six weeks and he’s phenomenal,” said Millar, 37, who scaled back her competition schedule after having her daughter, Lily, now four. “He’s so scopey, brave, and easy-going. He’s a good match with me, and I’m really excited about our future together. It’s the horse I’ve been looking for for three years. I was very picky when I was shopping for this horse, and did not want to make a mistake. We were very lucky to find him, and some very nice people in Ann and Karen Matthews and Patty Overlund, helped me to have this opportunity. I’ve ridden a lot of horses, and it’s such a nice feeling to realize that you can just trust that the animal can do it.” Of her time competing at the CSI2* Orangeville Show Jumping Tournament, the daughter of 10-time Canadian Olympian Ian Millar noted, “Jay Hayes and the organizing committee made the most of a terrible week of weather. It is a real pleasure to jump on grass. There are so few venues left that have grass footing. We don’t get to practice it much anymore unless we go to Spruce Meadows. But despite the conditions, no one
in the grand prix lost a shoe and the horses jumped well.” Another talented young female rider emerged victorious in the $10,000 Highland Meadows Modified Grand Prix held Sunday afternoon. Five riders from the 22-horse starting field jumped clear to advance to the tie-breaker. However, only two were able to repeat a faultfree effort in the jump-off with Michelle Vandal’s time of 31.84 seconds riding Travola eclipsing the time of 36.41 seconds posted earlier by Hyde Moffatt riding Carlo. As the final challenger, two-time Olympian Jay Hayes gave it a shot with Trish Crang’s Leonidas, but a rail down close to home left the pair third in the final standings. To conclude this year’s CSI2* Orangeville Show Jumping Tournament, the Iron Horse Farm Jumper Parade of Champions recognized the outstanding performances at this year’s event. Asta Torokvei was the recipient of the M. Michael Meller Style Award while Amy Millar was presented with the Equifit Inc. Top Trainer Award. “It was a fabulous event,” said Hayes who, alongside his wife, Shawn, acts as the co-president of the CSI2* Orangeville Show Jumping Tournament, supported by their three daughters Lauren, Ainsley and Regan. “Despite weather that made it feel more like October, the Orangeville grass ring stood up magnificently. I believe it’s the best natural ground of any event in Canada. It is true that horses re-

In addition, the OAS has wonderful permanent infrastructure, it’s close to home, and the Orangeville area is so horsey and so supportive.
“We are very proud of Amy Millar for winning, followed immediately by Olympians Beth Underhill and Mac Cone,” continued Hayes.

Sports – Amy Millar of Perth, emerged victorious in the $50,000 CSI2* Zucarlos Grand Prix held Saturday evening, Aug. 16, as part of the CSI2* Orangeville Show Jumping Tournament held in Orangeville, Ont. Produced by Hayes Co., the $50,000 CSI2* Zucarlos Grand Prix, presented by Kubota Canada and Stewart’s Equipment, was the featured event of the CSI2* Orangeville Show Jumping Tournament held from Aug. 14 to 17 at the Orangeville Agricultural Society (OAS) Event Centre. A total of seven horse and rider combinations found their way to a clear round over the course set by Catsy Cruz of Mexico, which set the stage for an exciting jump-off. First to challenge the shortened jump-off track, Anna Gansauer of Ecuador ran into trouble at the final fence leaving her with a total of six jumping and time penalties with Delgado Van’t Neerhoff. Amy Millar was next in riding Heros, a seven-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding (Canadian River x Clinton), for owners Millar, Matthews, and Irish Oaks. The pair was the first to leave all the obstacles in place, stopping the timers in 42.97 seconds. Although they moved to the top of the leader board with five more to challenge, victory was far from guaranteed. Angela Covert of St. Lazare, Que., had a rail in the combination with Utan while Erynn Ballard of Tottenham, Ont., had the time, but brought down the final fence with Appy Cara. Olympic team silver medalist Mac Cone of King City, Ont., had the misfortune of having the first fence down on course, but raced to the fastest time, 40.88 seconds, to eventually take third place riding Vannety B, a nineyear-old Belgian Sport Horse mare, for owner Silverbay Holdings Inc. Beth Underhill of Schomberg, Ont., guided Viggo to a clear round, but her time of 43.46 was half a second off the leading pace, leaving her in second place when the final challenger, Kelly Soleau of Marlborough, Conn., was eliminated in the double combination with Centre Ice. “I knew with my horse that he’s quick across the ground and turns well, so I made short turns and went a little bit in the places where you could open up and gallop,” said Millar of her jump-off strategy. “Mostly, I stayed short on all the turns. The horse is faster than he looks, and I think that fooled people a little bit; the fact that I didn’t look as fast as I was. I then went through the painful experience of watching everyone else

Perthite gets in the swim of things Editorial – Last month, I wrote about Perth native Rebekah Nitschmann swimming 16 km in an effort to raise money for her varsity swim team at the University of Prince Edward Island. She dove into the water first thing last Sunday morning at 7 a.m. to start her quest. The water was only 66 degrees Fahrenheit, making it even harder on her body. She said her high point of the day was having such a supportive group encouraging her as she swam, including her three brothers and parents. The extreme cold forced her to finish up at 14 km due to her well being, but it’s still an amazing accomplishment. She ended up raising $1,300 for her team and returns to school at the end of the month. If you’d like to support Nitschmann’s effort, you can still do so by sending her a note at rebekah. nitschmann77@gmail.com. Bed Races this weekend Don’t forget that the Perth Museum and the Great War Memorial Hospital of Perth and District Foundation will host the inaugural Heritage Bed Races in Perth this Sunday afternoon. It sounds like it will be a good time, especially as teams vie for the fastest time, the most pledges and to earn the best-dressed title. The bed races will start at 1:30 p.m. on Gore Street. This means Gore Street will be closed between Herriott and Harvey streets that afternoon, so consider your route when you’re out and about.

Walks with Tux This year, we’re really excited to see the Perth Fair come to town as we officially have an excuse to go on the kids’ rides again while snacking on cotton candy and homemade fudge. We plan to bring our son, who is now old enough to go on some rides, and we might, just might, hit up the muffin tin game on our way out. Poor ol’ Tux won’t be allowed to join us in this activity, as I don’t envision an 80-lb. dog riding the Ferris wheel a calming situation. What’s your favourite thing about the Perth Fair?

Legion honours comrades, raises funds
Lifestyle - After more than a yearand-a-half since the first application was submitted, the Arctic Star medal presentation ceremony took place on Wednesday, Aug. 13, with five medals being presented to one veteran and Thanks is due four next-of-kin.
in particular to comrades John Gemmell, Bill McKenzie, and Eric Devlin, along with the Ladies Auxiliary and many others too numerous to mention here. The annual corn roast took place on Saturday, Aug. 16, and was a success in spite of the wet weather. This event was a fundraiser, as well as a fitting celebration of the
Branch 244 News agricultural history of Perth and area. In spite of relatively late planting, most local corn crops were healthy and plentiful.
Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier, Nov. 8, 1907, about the first Glen Tay Block Race: “The honor of winning the first
prize, the beautiful silver cup, fell to Mr. Edmund B. Code, who finished the eight miles in the remarkably good time of 52 minutes, 43 2-5 seconds. Mr. Code is a son of County treasurer John Code, and a student of the Perth Collegiate Institute, and is well known as an allround athlete. His win was a popular one and he received loud and long applause from the hundreds of people who watched the finish.” Note: This first race was about a mile shorter than subsequent races, as it turned around at the hamlet of Manion. Did you know? The South African war of 1899 to 1902, commonly known as the Boer
War, was Canada’s first official use of troops in an overseas war. Over the three years, more than 7,000 Canadians, including 12 nurses, served, and fought in important battle such as Paardeberg and Leliefontein. Of those who served in South Africa, 267 were killed and are listed in the Book of Remembrance. Although the government at that time said that a precedent was not being set by sending Canadians overseas to fight, history would prove otherwise. As we now know, Canada went on to fight in two world wars, the Korean War, dozens of peacekeeping missions, and Afghanistan. Don’t forget our websites: rcl244.com and hallofremembrance.ca.

Man of a thousand voices in Classic Theatre’s murder mystery Arts – Returning to the Classic Theatre Festival in a very different role than last summer’s comedic turn in Neil Simon’s The Star-Spangled Girl, veteran Ottawa actor Richard Gélinas reveals a bleaker side with his Dial M for Murder character, the brooding and mysterious Captain Lesgate. The classic thriller has drawn audience raves and critical praise, from the Capital Critics Circle (“A highly entertaining, absorbing and well-paced drama”) and JACK-FM (“Shades of Sherlock Holmes meets Colombo…a true ‘who done it’ when you know who ‘wanted to do it’…it’s a lot of fun.”) to the EMC’s guest review (“a hard act to follow…the professionalism of the actors elevated the results into a gripping, enthralling presentation.”) Gélinas also brings along to the show his prodigious arsenal of voices, giving life to some dozen characters with a variety of British Isles accents. Playwright Frederick Knott subtitled Dial M for Murder “a collage of voices,” and Gélinas gives all of them distinct character from backstage and over a phone linkup as well, helping propel the audience towards the tense, final conclusion of the show. From a flat-footed, bumbling police officer to a pompous lawyer, a sniveling newspaper reporter to a desk sergeant, Gélinas nightly becomes numerous characters, a challenge with which he has been quite familiar over the years.

In addition to playing the mysterious and brooding Captain Lesgate in the Classic Theatre Festival production of Dial M for Murder, on until Aug. 31 in Perth, Richard Gélinas also performs a dozen other offstage and over-the phone roles as well. Tickets are available at 1-877-2831283.
Indeed, he starred in the Ottawa premiere of The 39 Steps, a play famous for the acting challenges it poses for the four-person cast, all of whom most don multiple wigs, costumes, and hats as they bring to life scores of different characters. With Dial M for Murder, his main onstage character is Captain Lesgate, who also goes by a number of pseudonyms. “Lesgate is a grifter; he takes things and then he moves on,” Gélinas says of his character. “He comes from modest beginnings, went to university, and took things when he could because he learned you could get away with that as long as you smiled while you were doing it and left before anyone noticed it.” Gélinas has performed with numerous Ottawa theatres, including the Company of Fools (whose approach he paraphrases as “mixing up Shakespeare and the Muppets in a blender, and then you throw in a little with Monty Python”), as well as SevenThirty Productions, in which he has carried multi-character roles in shows including The 39 Steps and Stones in His Pockets. He also performs frequently with the renowned Eddie May Mysteries. Some of Gélinas’ training was with the Stratford Festival’s satellite training programs, which set up workshops in Toronto, as well as in the Laban process, which teaches performers to internalize certain movements that have significant implications in character development.
“It’s fascinating to see how learning about your anatomy and the different ways you can use your body in performance really expand the scope of what you can do on stage,” he says. He’s enjoying his second summer in Perth and the first Classic Theatre murder mystery as well. “What makes the play compelling to me is that it is a true thriller. Things are fairly dangerous for almost everybody almost all the time. And the fun for the audience is figuring out who’s going to get caught,” he says. It’s that kind of suspense that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats throughout the show, which runs until Aug. 31, Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. matinees each Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at the new festival venue, 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth. Saturday evening performances begin at 7 p.m. with murder mystery author readings: Aug. 23’s lineup features R.J. Harlick and Linda Wiken, and Aug. 30 will showcase Brenda Chapman and Thomas Curran. The festival’s historic theatrical walking tour, Perth Through the Ages, also runs until Aug. 31, Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. Its one-hour story, The Preacher and the Leading Lady, brings to life characters from Perth’s 200-year history. For tickets, call 1-877-283-1283 or visit classictheatre.ca. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival.

* Exercise benefits those with limited mobility. Women over 50 with limited mobility may feel that exercise serves no purpose because of their disability or physical condition. But even women confined to wheelchairs or those forced to walk with a cane or walker can benefit from cardiovascular exercise and even light strength training. Such exercises can improve a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s range of motion while reducing her risk of heart disease. * Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to start exercising. Many aging women feel their time to embrace exercise has long since passed. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to start exercising. Women should take a conservative approach when exercising after a long hiatus, beginning with a slow walk around the neighborhood or a local park. Walking is a great beginnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exercise, as it provides a good cardiovascular workout while working a variety of muscle groups. As your body readjusts to physical activity, gradually increase the intensity of your exercise sessions, adding some strength training, ideally under the supervision of a professional. Always stretch immediately after each exercise session, and give your body ample time to recover, especially when you begin your new regimen. WT145162
R0012805138_0724
The aging process has a way of making people risk-averse. Financial advisors typically recommend that men and women steer clear of risky investments as they age, and men and women over 50 often make lifestyle choices to reduce their risk of developing certain medical conditions. As women age, some may feel exercise is simply too risky. Hormonal changes brought on by aging decrease a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bone density, and that fact makes many women over 50 hesitant to embrace exercise. But exercise plays a key role in helping women over 50 secure their long-term health and reduce their risk of injury. * Exercise promotes independence. Some women feel that exercising after 50 increases their risk of injury, which can make them overly dependent on their loved ones. But exercise, in particular strength training, slows bone deterioration, helping bones stay stronger longer and reducing a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of suffering a potentially debilitating injury. Independence is especially important to seniors, many of whom spent years planning their retirements and awaiting the day when they would be free to travel at their leisure. Daily exercise can help women maintain that independence by reducing their risk of injury and other ailments that can be confining. * Exercise can improve sleep. Some women who are fighting fatigue may feel that routine exercise will only make them more tired. But exercise actually improves energy levels and makes it easier to get a better nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rest. Numerous studies have shown that routine exercise can improve sleep quality and even increase energy levels throughout the day, something that should raise an eyebrow among women who do not exercise but routinely find themselves fighting fatigue. A more quality nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rest improves vitality, making it easier for women to exercise and make it through the day without feeling fatigued.

Decision-making abilities may be compromised. A person with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s may take unnecessary risks or give away sums of money. * Mood changes: People with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s may suffer from confusion, suspicious feelings, depression and anxiety. A person may upset easily or become anxious outside of his or her comfort zones. Age and family history of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease are the biggest risk factors. The liklihood of developing Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubles about every five years after age 65, says the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Organization. In addition, those with a parent, child or sibling who have developed Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are more likely to develop the disease than people with no such family history.

Where is it available? Services are delivered right in the home or care facility. No travel is required by the individual. Who is it for? Home health care is for people with a wide range of health conditions who live in their own home or in an institutional facility. Home health care is available for people of all ages including seniors, the chronically ill and people living with disabilities.
Why will it make a difference? Staying in your home preserves independence and dignity while enhancing quality of life. It can also reduce the pressure felt by family members to provide care during challenging times. When is the right time? The need for home care is generally triggered by an ongoing health issue, release from the hospital or a sudden event such as a fall or stroke. It can also be used by seniors who need help with daily activities or companionship.
How is it funded? Payment can be made privately or funded through government care programs, personal and group insurance plans and workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compensation insurance.

symptoms of the disease. * Memory loss: According to the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Organization, early memory loss can include forgetting important dates or repeatedly asking for the same information. Forgetting recently learned information and having to rely increasingly on memory aids is another potential indicator of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. * Declining cognition: Impaired reasoning or judgment, trouble finding the right words and visual and spatial issues also may be early indicators of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. * Difficulty completing familiar tasks: Those with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes have trouble driving to a familiar location or remembering the rules to a favorite game. People who were once good with numbers may now have difficulty balancing their checkbooks, while those who love to cook may have trouble following recipes. * Time confusion: Another indicator of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease is losing track of time. One may have trouble understanding something that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happening in the present. Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sufferers often forget where they are and how they got there. * Misplacing items: Everyone loses something at a point in time, but those with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s may put items in unusual places. They may sometimes accuse others of stealing when they cannot retrace their steps and find items. * Decreased judgment:

Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease is the most common form of dementia. It is a progressive, degenerative disorder that attacks neurons and essentially robs people of their memory and language skills. Although there is no cure for Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, there are therapies that can slow its neurological impact. Recognizing the early warning signs of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s can encourage people to begin treatments that can stave off some of the more debilitating symptoms of this disease. Though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most common among the elderly, Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is not a normal part of aging. The Mayo Clinic says that the reasons behind the inception and progression of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease are largely unknown. It is believed damage starts a decade or more before problems become evident. Abnormal deposits of proteins begin to form the amyloid plaques and tau tangles throughout the brain, and these formations are the hallmarks of the disease. Once-healthy neurons gradually begin to lose their efficiency and ability to function and communicate with one another. As more neurons die, entire areas of the brain shrink. The hippocampus, which is the area of the brain essential in forming memories, may soon become compromised. Millions of people in North America are estimated to have Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease and many others will be diagnosed. The following are the most common early signs and
Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your reason?
Vehicle monitor helps bridge technology gap for drivers Lifestyle – I had a chance this past week to try out two very different, but useful products; one to help you diagnose those pesky ‘check engine’ lights and the other to help you save big on gasoline bills. The first product is from a Newfoundland-based manufacturer, Lemur Wireless Vehicle Monitors. Lemur is headed by a very young and innovative group of engineers whose goal is to take the mystery out of vehicle ownership and operation by putting some very easy-to-understand information at drivers’ fingertips. A few years back I tried their first trio of monitors, the EconoDriver, SafeDriver, and AlertDriver. All of these included a small and sturdy plug-in unit that connects to the diagnostic port found under the dash of all vehicles manufactured since 1996. In the industry this is referred to as the OBD port (On-Board Diagnostic). The EconoDriver and SafeDriver come with two display fobs that provide such info as instant and average fuel economy, cost per km driven, aggressive braking and acceleration counts, top speed and so on. For vehicles without trip-function displays, the EconoDriver provides great info on keeping your fuel bill in check. The SafeDriver is a great way to keep tabs on younger family members behind the wheel (and those of other ages) as it keeps track of aggressive driving and speeding. Their newest product, the BlueDriv-

A free app can be downloaded to any iOS or Android device and when in range the BlueDriver will provide trouble codes, live screen shots of engine running data, freeze-frame pages, and so on. While there are quite a few
DIY scanners on the market today, none of them are as small as the BlueDriver and none will deliver the info that this unit does. It also bridges the technology gap between the average driver, who knows little of what goes on under the hood, but can be quite proficient in operating an iPad or smart phone. For each code the BlueDriver finds, it can generate a report for your specific

vehicle that contains information such as: code definition, possible cause(s), and top/frequently/other reported fix(es). The unit retails for $99.95 and can be ordered online at www.lemurmonitors. com or by calling 1-866-304-0054. The second product I tried out was just as useful but a lot more fun. From my good friend Dan Witmer as Gear Head Canada in Bells Corners, I borrowed a 2014 Sym HD-200 scooter for a neighbourhood tour on a recent sunny afternoon. The scooter industry has grown by leaps and bounds as more and more drivers are discovering the benefits of leaving smaller fuel consumption footprints while enjoying the exhilaration of open-air riding. Unfortunately some manufacturers have grown their price too and stickers more than $10,000 are not uncommon these days. As Dan put it, “for that kind of money you can drive a car!” So when he saw this trend developing he did his research and brought a solution for his customers that has been well received.
Sym scooters and motorcycles are built by Sanyang Industry of Taiwan, a company founded in 1954 and which has worked with such giants as Honda to become a credible world-wide supplier of fun and functional rides. My tester, the Sym HD-200 carries an MSRP of only $3,999 (before taxes and destination fees). The Sym HD-200 is a two-seater open floorboard style scooter powered by a 171 cc liquid-cooled engine putting out 15.3 hp and 11.3 lb/ft of torque. Power to the 16” rear wheel is delivered through a continually variable transmission, meaning no shifting or clutch, just twist the throttle and go. A 31” seat height means it’s easy to get on and off and a comfortable stance for riders of just about any size. Controls and instrumentation are well laid out and easy to become accustomed to. Front and rear brakes are controlled by large handlebar levers. The dash pod includes a large analogue speedometer and a better-than-average fuel gauge in terms of accuracy, and a coolant temperature gauge. A nice-to-find feature is a signal lamp clicker that makes enough noise to hear it, even in noisy traffic. This keeps the permanently-on signal lamp syndrome down to a minimum. A 60-watt headlamp is almost twice as powerful as most scooters are equipped with and will ensure you can see ahead

Participants sought for shoreline naturalization program for Mississippi watershed

quality and wildlife habitat.â&#x20AC;? The pilot project is designed to be a model for future naturalization efforts. It aims to see thousands of native trees and shrubs planted on 20 shoreline properties on four lakes and on five km of creeks and tributaries. Various workshops are planned, including hands-on planting activities on each of the four lakes, shoreline education workshops and presentations at various events to promote the program. Educational materials are also being developed. Another key component is the creation of a demonstration site with interpretive signage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The site will showcase how people can do things on their own properties to naturalize shorelines and
to take action to improve the health of the watershed,â&#x20AC;? said Alyson Symon, watershed planner for Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be providing more knowledge to people about the Mississippi River watershed and giving opportunities for people to get involved with experts providing hands-on learning.â&#x20AC;? The project is funded by EcoAction Canada, but participating landowners are asked to contribute 25 per cent of the total costs for their site. Properties involved in the project receive a customized planting plan indicating the recommended areas for planting and a list of suitable native tree, shrub and ground cover species.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goals and wishes of the landowner drive the plan, and all advice is optional,â&#x20AC;? said King. The planting is slated for the spring of 2015. Several partners are participating, including Canonto Lake Association, Kashwakamak Lake Association, Patterson Lake Association and Mississippi Lakes Association. Any landowner within the Mississippi River watershed who is interested in a free site visit, should contact Courtney Allison at CSW (613-264-1244 or allison@watershed.ca.) CSW is a federally incorporated nonprofit organization and registered Canadian charity. Learn more at www.watersheds.ca.
smooth. A 220 mm front disc brake and 130 mm rear drum brake worked well to bring the HD-200 to confident stops. My ride had a small windscreen, but if your diet doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include the odd insect, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d recommend a full face helmet. Another unique feature to the Sym is a side-stand as well as a center stand. The side stand comes in handy for short stops but it has a very strong return spring, requiring a rider to keep their foot on it until it returns to its storage position. This scooter weighs in at only 297 lbs and has a rider/passenger capacity of 396 lb. Under-seat storage is lockable and large, holding an extra
large helmet with ease. To improve this capacity, the battery is stored under the floorboard. A fold away storage hook on the inside of the front fork panel will keep bags out of the wind and wet. The Sym HD-200 delivers 70 mpg and comes with a 24-month warranty. A great way to save fuel and enjoy warm

on dark roads as well as being seen by oncoming traffic. The electric start easily brings the engine to life and a well-designed exhaust will keep neighbour complaints at bay. Acceleration was surprisingly brisk, even for someone with my mass and this scooter will easily top out at more than 100 kph with no difficulty or confidence (top speed is rated at 122 kph). A single front and dual rear shock set-up handles the bumps and combined with a well-padded seat kept the ride relatively

Restoring, protecting and enhancing shorelines also contributes to improved water quality by filtering runoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to raise awareness and take action on individual waterfront properties in order to reduce negative effects on the environment,â&#x20AC;? explained Barbara King, CSW executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking to engage shoreline property owners in highly developed areas or who have existing shoreline erosion issues. Naturalizing shorelines, educating landowners and empowering community members to take positive environmental action will ultimately lead to improvements in surface water

Drinking raw milk not worth risk News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Some Canadians may believe that pasteurization harms milk and that raw milk is a safe and healthier alternative. However, raw milk can contain dangerous bacteria that could make you and your family seriously sick. Raw milk can contain harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria that have been linked to foodborne illness (food poisoning) outbreaks. These bacteria can cause serious health conditions, ranging from fever, vomiting and diarrhea to life-threatening kidney failure, miscarriage and even death. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food and drug regulations require that all milk sold in Canada be pasteurized. Pasteurization kills harmful bacteria without affecting the nutritional properties of milk. Since Health Canada made pasteurization
mandatory in 1991, the number of food poisoning outbreaks has dramatically gone down. Cheeses are the only dairy products that can be made of raw or unpasteurized milk as long as they meet specific requirements prescribed by the food and drug regulations. Canadians should not drink raw or unpasteurized milk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially children, pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems since they are at a higher risk of developing food poisoning. Vulnerable groups especially, should also be aware that raw milk or unpasteurized milk products may be sold at farm stands or farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets and they should reduce their risk by asking if the products are pasteurized before buying them.

Check out why it is better at Bennetts!
1940 Oldsmobile Series 90 coupe came from Vancouver looked after since then. Happy trails!” The Begy’s 1940 Olds is powered by a flathead straight eight engine with 257 cubic inches cranking out a very respectable 110 horsepower. Features include independent front suspension, coil springs all around, safety glass all around, sealed beam headlights mounted in the front fenders, a wheelbase of 124 inches, and a streamlined body extending over the previous running board space. That streamlined body was new for 1940 and appeared on several GM nameplates that year: top-of-the-line Pontiac, Buick Super and Roadmaster, Olds Series 90, LaSalle and Cadillac. The front license plate is an original 1940 Ontario plate (1S786), yellow with black numbers and a letter. Given that the car came from Vancouver, there might be people out there who remember this car. Maybe it was sold new in that city. If we uncover its earlier history, you’ll read all about it right here, where we bring old cars back to life. Stay tuned! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2.

Lifestyle – Colin and Mary Begy of Clarksburg, Ont., are the proud owners of a gorgeous 1940 Oldsmobile with an Oshawa factory list price of $1,572. Mary writes: “Hi Bill: We enjoy your articles. My husband and I have a 1940 Olds and she’s a beauty! She is the top-ofthe-line Series 90 2-door coupe. She has a straight eight engine and ‘three on the tree!’ When she comes up to a stop, you can’t tell if she is still running. She’s that quiet!” It’s easy to believe the Olds is that quiet. In June 1958 my brother John and I acquired a mint original 1940 McLaughlin-Buick Super sport coupe in the same body shell as on the Begy’s 1940 Olds. After we bought the car, we drove over to a friend’s house to take him for a drive. Eddie climbed in and said: “OK, start it up and let’s go!” We had to explain there was no need to start the car because it was already running! Now back to the ’40 Olds: “She is a low mileage car that came from Vancouver about five years ago and a real pleasure to drive. Between October 1989 and October 1991, the car was mechanically gone over, a complete new interior was installed, and the car was repainted in the original lacquer paint colour. We purchased the car in October 2010 and have been keeping it well

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Looking for a place to camp with your dog this summer? Try Ontario Parks. While all of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial parks are pet-friendly, some offer more than others when it comes to camping with your pet. Almost 30 Ontario Parks have a designated pet exercise area, a pet beach or both. Every provincial park requires pet owners to follow a basic set of guidelines. A dog must be kept on a leash not exceeding two metres in length. Owners must ensure their pets donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make excessive noise or disturb others. Dogs are not allowed in park buildings, including roofed accommodation, or on main beach areas and they must not chase or harass wildlife. A complete list of doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts along with where to find petamenity parks across Ontario are found in this park blog post: http://www.parkreports.com/parksblog/?p=6358#more6358.
