SKIP TO MY LOO The Almonte Fair outhouse races on Saturday began with the Backwoods Sharts (left) up against the Barley Mow. Moments later the runners of the Barley Mow outhouse lost their balance and shot the house, along with the occupant, straight into the ground. The accident, although minor and with no injuries, severely crippled the wheels of the outhouse, and the Mow was no longer able to compete. The Sharts moved on into the semifinals against the Stool Runnings. For more on the fair, see Page 2.

A notorious undertow on the Mississippi River below the five-span bridge in Pakenham has claimed another victim. Michael Walsh of Arnprior drowned Sunday after he slipped off a rock on the northeast side of the river. The 52-yearold was on a family outing. Several people have died on that stretch of the river, although it has been about six years since the last drowning, that of
a fisherman who fell out of his canoe. Witnesses told police that Walsh slipped into the fast-moving water and did not resurface. He apparently had gone into the water to retrieve a shoe or sandal that had fallen into the river. His body was recovered by fire department personnel with no vital signs. He was rushed to Arnprior District Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. See ‘SLIPPERY’, Page 4
Unveiling set for Saturday After a year-long fundraising campaign, the Naismith Basketball Foundation will unveil this Saturday, July 23 a life-sized bronze statue of the inventor of basketball, Dr. James Naismith. The public is welcome to attend the ceremony at Centennial Square on Mill Street in Almonte from 11 a.m. to noon. The statue, created by Elden Tefft in his studio in Lawrence, Kansas depicts Naismith sitting with a basketball in his hands, and a peach basket at his feet. The sculpture will be sitting on a granite bench, long enough so that others may sit beside him. It weighs just less than one ton and is about four feet high.

SCHOOL RULES
A potentially record-breaking heat wave is raising concerns there could be an encore this week of Sunday’s destructive wind and lightning storm. It is also prompting health officials to urge people, especially seniors, to protect themselves against high heat and humidity. With the temperature predicted to hit 37 C today (Thursday), there is the potential of a repeat of the storm that overturned trees, knocked out power and flattened the main stage at Bluesfest Sunday evening.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Make nice, look nice, the judges are coming. The Mississippi Mills Beautification Committee will be hosting two judges from the Communities in Bloom program July 27 to 29. The judges from the Communities in Bloom, who will be visiting Cornwall after their trip through Mississippi Mills, are Angela Vieth of Waterloo, Ont., and Charlie Dobbin of Richmond Hill, Ont. They will be looking at more than just flowers and tidy yards. That’s why the town is asking residents to be extra vigilant in sprucing up the area. “We’re not asking everybody to go out and clip that
last piece of grass with a pair of scissors,” said Nicole Guthrie, community and cultural programmer with the Town of Mississippi Mills. “They’re looking for specific criteria and one of those is tidiness and graffiti is one of those.” The judging duo will be staying at the Menzies House. The Ramsay Women’s Institute, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists will all make presentations July 27 at the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area. That evening, they will also visit local villages like Blakeney and Appleton. “We plan to tour them around the municipality” in Gus the Bus, donated by the Mills Community Support Corporation for the visit. “We had originally planned to confine it to the local Almonte area, but
we are one municipality … it’s important for the them to see the whole package. We don’t have anything to hide.” A driving tour of Almonte will be held on the morning of July 28, including the fairgrounds, Almonte General Hospital, and the library gardens, followed by a walking tour of Mill Street, Almonte Old Town Hall and the Riverwalk. That afternoon, the judges will again board Gus the Bus as they take a driving tour of Union Hall, Clayton, Cedar Hill, Pakenham and the new waste water treatment plant. The judge’s wind-up meeting will be held at the Almonte Old Town Hall at 9 a.m. on July 29. “I think they give us a bit of a presentation on the last morning of their stay,” said Guthrie. “We get some feedback right away. A more formal version
will follow.” She added the judges’ recommendations will be used to help improve the look of the municipality. “We have the horticultural society involved and our community has been very involved in preparing for the judges’ visit,” said Guthrie, pointing to the OPP’s graffiti clean-up in Almonte and Cedar Hill on July 18. Guthrie hopes that as many community members as possible can be out on July 27 to welcome the judges to town. Guthrie thanked the work done by the Carleton Place Communities in Bloom committee and their assistance in preparing for the visit by the judges. “They used the recommendations to assist them in getting more funding for their programs,” she said.

We want to hear from you! Community Health Survey for North Lanark What would make you and your family healthier? What would make our community healthier? Please tell us what you think! Every 5 years, the North Lanark Community Health Centre - a part of Lanark Health and Community Services, conducts a Community Health Survey to help guide the development of our primary health care and health promotion programs and services. Starting next week, over 3000 copies of a survey will be circulated to every residence and business in the north Lanark area to identify community health needs and priorities. Special emphasis in this survey is given to developing a greater understanding about needs in our community related to poverty, mental health, addictions and overall health services. The survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. It is available both in paper format and as an on-line survey, and all responses are anonymous. The paper newsletter copy will be sent to area homes and businesses through Canada Post, and can be dropped off at the Health Centre in Lanark Village or returned free-of-charge in the postage paid business reply envelope provided. The on-line survey can be completed by going to the Health Centre’s website at www.nlchc.on.ca, and clicking on “Community Health Survey”. Responses will be collected until Friday August 5, 2011. For more information about the survey, or about the programs and services offered at the North Lanark Community Health Centre, contact Kara at 613-259-2182 or email: ksymbolic@nlchc.on.ca.

Slippery rocks, strong undertow lethal mix Continued from front Mississippi Mills fire Chief Art Brown said the rocks along the river below the bridge tend to be fungus-covered and slippery. The water drops off quickly below the rapids and is very deep in the area where there was once a mill, he said. Making the area particularly dangerous is the strong undertow below the rapids. An undertow, no-swimming warning is broadcast on a large sign easily seen from a parking area on the northeast end of the bridge. However, despite the warning and past mishaps, it’s a popular picnicking spot. A couple of hours after the drowning there were several people in and along the river, including pair cooling off in the rapids just above the drop-off. People shouldn’t be swimming in that part of the river, said Brown, noting there have been several drownings in that area. While it looks placid, the Mississippi River “can be very dangerous,” he added. Walsh was a millwright at Nylene Canada plant in Arnprior. A former member of local band The Heartbeats, he was known for his love of music, skills on the bass guitar and prowess as a hockey player.

Wind storm kept firefighters busy Cont’d from front After a sweltering day, the sudden arrival through the Upper Ottawa Valley of a cold front created winds of greater than 100 km-h. Sunday’s storm, which was particularly violent along the Ottawa River, took many people by surprise, as it had been predicted to arrive about midnight, not 7 p.m. In some rural areas of Lanark County, power wasn’t restored until Tuesday afternoon. Mississippi Mills fire Chief Art Brown reports his crews had a busy Sunday. Two big trees blew down in the powerful wind, blocking County Road 16 for a time. Power lines were also knocked down on Quarry Road and the Montgomery area. Firefighters were also called to a motorcycle crash in Clayton and to help rescue a two-year-old accidently left in a running car by a parent.

Like many other people in the area, Lanark County Warden Sharon Mousseau’s property saw quite a few trees fall as a result of the high winds and thunderstorms Sunday evening. One tree nearly tipped on to her house in Beckwith Township, landing close to the front door. Brown warned that today (Thursday) could be another busy day. “If we get the extreme weather they’re predicting, look out,” he said. Meanwhile, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit upgraded its heat alert issued last Friday to a warning Tuesday. The health unit warns the extreme heat and humidity could potentially cause dehydration, heat exhaus-
tion, heat stroke and, in some cases, death. While everyone is at risk, the release states, those in greatest danger include the elderly, people with chronic illness, infants and young children, and those involved in physical activity or strenuous work for prolonged periods. The health unit is urging people to check on neighbours, friends and others who may be at greater risk from the heat.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
ALMONTE – Get ready to see just how down and dirty your favourite puppets can get after dark. “It might be rude. It might offend people’s religious sensibilities,” promised Dan Redican, a puppeteer, writer, producer and broadcaster, who is taking part in an adult puppet cabaret during Puppets Up! next month. “There will be full-frontal nudity and I’ll be well hidden behind a screen. That’s the only way I can stomach it,” Redican joked, before adding that the show, while certainly not suitable for children, will not be completely raunchy either. “It won’t be, ‘Oh, this is the most vulgar thing I’ve ever seen,’” he said. Redican used to work for Jim Henson in the late 1980s, and saw how lewd and crude even the wholesome Muppets could get off-screen. “Between takes, they’d do the most disgusting things,” he said. He has also spoken with fellow puppeteer Kevin Clash, the voice and soul of Elmo of Sesame Street fame, about puppets’ alter egos. “He can be as bad as any of them,” said Redican of Clash. “(But) he’s very respectful of Elmo,” and leaves the little red fellow out of the dirty bits. This will be Redican’s first time visiting Almonte, though he has always meant to visit since he has friends there, and his
portion of the show will be a one-man show – with puppets and his daughter Madeleine. “I’m up there doing puppetry myself,” he said. “The show is constantly changing and adapting. Sometimes I’m sitting there, looking at the puppet (before the show) thinking ‘What am I going to do with you tonight?’” Redican has been doing puppetry even longer than he has been doing comedy. “When I was 16 I started out as a puppeteer,” said Redican of his early days on the streets of Toronto and London, Ont. “I was an itinerant puppeteer,” often writing material on the fly or improvising on the spot. Rather than look for venues, he would carry his own bag stage around with him. “I would walk around as my own stage,” he recalled. It was puppetry that introduced him to the other members of The Frantics comedy troupe. Redican was able to get himself a cult following at a club where he would do midnight performances. It was there that he met the house comedy troupe, The Flamingoes, later The Frantics. “They liked my puppetry and I liked their shows,” he said. Redican would later join The Frantics, who had their own sketch comedy show on CBC Radio in the early 1980s, and a TV show in 1986. Redican has also appeared on The Kids in the Hall, The Ron James Show, Little
Mosque on the Prairie and at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. Redican’s current job is as a producer for the Showcase series Almost Heroes, and he is awaiting word if the network will renew the series for another season. It was not long, however, before Redican returned to puppetry working alongside one of the most recognized and beloved puppeteers of his generation, Jim Henson, during the short-lived Jim Henson Hour in 1989. “He was a really nice guy, really simple, straight forward guy, who loved the work,” said Redican of the creator of the Muppets and countless Sesame Street characters. “He was never really given enough credit as a comic actor. I had endless respect to him as a puppeteer.”
On Henson’s show, Redican was surrounded by the best of the best in the puppet business. “As a puppeteer … I realized the limitations of my skills,” he said with a laugh. But Henson was able to recognize Redican’s other skills. “Jim really liked me as an actor,” said Redican, and so he often appeared in front of the camera with the Muppet characters, when he wasn’t off-screen, working the puppets, so to speak. Redican came back to Canadian puppetry, heading up a show of his own on the darkly-humourous Puppets Who Kill, which ran on the Comedy Network from 2002 to 2006. “We had a good run,” said Redican. “On that show, I wasn’t the puppeteer,” but rather the social worker who ran a half-way house for wayward puppets. Even though that show lasted four years, puppets on TV, whether geared for adults or kids, are becoming an increasingly rare animal, like daytime soap operas or family sitcoms. “I think TV puppetry is in the doldrums,” said Redican. “It’s cheaper to do animation right now. There’s not a lot of puppetry done on TV right now.” “Au Naturel! A Bawdy Cabaret Puppet Show,” runs at the Almonte Old Town Hall, 14 Bridge St., on Saturday, Aug. 6 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $25 per person and are available at Mill Street Books, 52 Mill St., and Baker Bob’s, 79 Little Bridge St.

Update on Ottawa Valley Family Health Team activities
This ad is generously underwritten by the
As well, in addition to the services that we provide through provincial funding, we have also established a formal partnership with Rideau Valley Diabetes Services. Our patients now have on-site access to a Dietitian and Registered Nurse, who provide diabetes education. A reminder that programs and services provided to our rostered patients are free of charge. Please speak to your family physician for a referral. Collaborative health care models are proven to be effective for patients and providers alike. Having our allied health professionals and physicians in one space will increase interdisciplinary collaboration, which will allow patients to have access to comprehensive health care in one location. Accordingly, we continue to plan to relocate to the first floor of 95 Spring Street and renovations are expected to be complete in late 2011. Once move-in dates have been confirmed, we
will communicate them to all patients and to the community. We are encouraging anyone in the area without a family doctor to call 613-256-2514 ext. 2602 or to email info@ovfht.ca and leave their name, phone number, and full mailing address. This list will help us understand our community’s needs and establish a recruitment strategy. To better communicate with our patients, we are also planning to launch our website soon (www. ovfht.ca), which will contain up-to-date information on our providers, programs, services, etc. If you have questions in the meantime, please call 613-256-2514 ext. 2213. Antoinette Strazza is the Executive Director of the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team

The Ottawa Valley Family Health Team (FHT) began operating in November 2010. Since then, nearly all our approved FHT practitioners and staff have been welcomed to the team. They include a Pharmacist (Jean-Guy Legault), Chiropodist (Lena Peslar-MacMillan), Nurse Practitioner (Cathy Ramonal), Psychiatrist (Dr. Rami Habib), Dietitian (Mark McGill) and an Assistant (Meagan Morin). We are happy to report that all our practitioners are now seeing patients. The development of chronic disease management initiatives is a priority for FHTs. A team comprised of our FHT providers and physicians has been formed to develop a program for patients with respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Pull the plug on HST for hydro
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says
I
t took a powerful summertime storm whose aftermath left many without hydro to once again demonstrate that electricity is a vital, necessary component of modern-day society. As such, it should not be subject to the GST or HST or whatever you want to call that consumption tax that is omnipresent in today’s society. Many in the rural areas around Carleton Place and Almonte found themselves without hydro as a result of the severe wind storm which roared through the Upper Ottawa Valley area Sunday about 7 p.m. Indeed, as we know, this storm caused destruction far and wide, from trees down in Beckwith to a destroyed main stage at Bluesfest (thankfully with few injuries for such a catastrophe) to thousands cut off from their hydro supply. In this area, some lost their hydro for only seconds; others for up to 18 hours. Without hydro, you soon come to the realization that modern life as we know it virtually grinds to a halt. If this is not the definition of necessity, we don’t know what is. There is no GST or HST on food because it is regarded as a necessity. The same should apply to electricity. Just why we put up with having this consumption tax applied to what is so very obviously a necessity in today’s modern life is beyond us. Surely the Ice Storm of 1998, now over a decade back in our memories, showed us all that electricity is a paramount requirement for today’s lifestyle. This is even more the case for those in rural areas. When hydro goes, so does the well water pump. No water. And, for some reason, the unavailability of water seems to be a signal to the human bladder – time to get active. So hydro is doubly important in a rural setting. And yet governments continue to impose a tax on this all-important, we would claim, necessity in today’s world. This is not right and should be changed. There is a provincial election coming up. The provincial government can correct this injustice. Make sure that when a candidate, from whatever party, approaches you, point out that hydro is a necessity in today’s world. And if something is necessary, it should not be the subject of a consumption tax. It’s that simple. Our politicians should take action to remove it from our hydro bills.

Time to end royal family’s Catholic ban To the Editor: Desmond Devoy’s July 7 column in the Canadian Gazette calling for an end of the British prohibition on a Roman Catholic from marrying into the royal family is a timely and common sense one (‘Will and Kate and Catholic ban debate’) July 12 is the annual celebration of the Protestant King William III of Orange’s victory over the Roman Catholic

King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, igniting the anti-Catholic politics which ensued. This muddying of state and religion continues to bedevil the monarchy and to diminish its value for Canadians. Let’s hope Prince Charles acts quickly when he succeeds. Thanks for this column.

We’re not a magazine so we don’t do theme issues, but this week certainly could be forgiven for feeling like one. I was walking over to the Franktown Road Tim Hortons here in Carleton Place on July 13 when I happened upon local entertainer Lyle Dillabough eating his lunch under a tree near the wool grovers building. He wondered where I was off to, and I said that I was on my way to meet the Grand Knight of the local Knights of Columbus – having just covered the King Billy 12th of July Parade the night before in Smiths Falls. I joked with Lyle that I was making sure that both sides were happy. I even mused about putting the stories on opposing pages and flipping a coin to see who got which page. The next day I found myself up at the Almonte Baptist Church and began to notice that I seemed to be having my own churchtinged version of Bill Murray’s Groundhog Day. The Baptists were holding a number of summer bible camps at their churches in Almonte and Carleton Place. Growing up I attended Catholic schools, but in all my years there I never once saw an old barbecue gas container, filled with water, being used to shoot a plastic bottle high into the air over Almonte like I did on the church lawn. I can also say that my old high school priest, Fr. Vid – whom I always used to impersonate behind his back as sounding like The Count from Sesame Street with his eastern European accent – didn’t quite tell the tale of Saul’s conversion on the road to Damascus quite the way bible camp leader Daniel Pomerleau did, tea towel robe draped over his shoulder like something out of the Grade 2 Christmas pageant. I can’t believe that this was the same week that I wrote an article about an adult-themed, foulmouthed puppet show on Aug. 6. What a weird job I have.

On a recent trip to Wal-Mart, the bicycle racks were all full of customers’ bicycles. All the big box stores have bike racks near their entrances. There is a large increase in bicycle traffic around town this year, but very, very, few go downtown. Take your bike to Riverside Park - from the high school to the boat launch, bicycle racks are noticeable by their absence. If the town council is serious about being green, encouragement of transportation and downtown shopping, other than by a car, would be a good place to start. Our pedestrian crosswalks, with the exception of one minor accident three years ago, are an excellent way to get from the parking lots to the stores. To get more people downtown, make it pedestrian-friendly. Beverley Smith Carleton Place

Make downtown more bicycle, walker friendly for seniors To the Editor: I would like to comment on the article about Ms. Hamilton in the Canadian Gazette (‘Making CP a more pedestrian friendly town’, July 14). Being a senior citizen who still likes to walk downtown, I find Bridge Street from Bell to the Mews to be very difficult to manage. Patio tables infringing on the expanded area of the original sidewalk, plus a sign located on the brickwork, that prohibits two people from walking side by side, does not encourage pedestrian traffic. The brick work around the trees is not level with the sidewalk. I would suggest that council take a walk on Bridge Street and see why a senior citizen with walking difficulties would prefer the stores on McNeely Avenue. My son, who is an ardent cyclist, can only park his bike at the town hall, the youth centre or Fields.

Membership in the coffee club has its advantages, including taking part in a winning lottery syndicate. A local group of 20 members, who meet for coffee at J.R’s restaurant in Almonte, has been playing Lotto 6/49 for more than a decade, They hit the jackpot in the May 25 Lotto 6/49 draw, winning $3.1 million. “We meet every week at the same restaurant, to iron out the world’s problems,” said group leader James Houston, in a press release.
Houston has been administering the group for the last eight years. The group has played the same seven set of numbers for the past seven years. It was Houston’s job to check winning numbers and validate tickets, which were purchased at Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer on Ottawa Street in Almonte. “Someone else first checked the numbers online but was looking at the wrong date and so we thought we didn’t win anything,” said Houston. “It wasn’t until I went and validated it that I discovered the mistake and realized we won.”

Almonte’s Genny Ladiges named to all-academic team Hockey goalie’s Yale team tops all-academic honours BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
ALMONTE — The stereotypical Division I college athlete studies “Rocks for Jocks” and other so-called bird courses. Not the women’s hockey team at Yale.
“A lot of people come in here the first year and freak out. But you have to take it all in stride.” Genny Ladiges The team, for yet another year, has by far the most players named to the Eastern College Athletic Conference women’s hockey all-academic team. One of them is Genny Ladiges, who just finished her junior year. The Almonte District High School graduate and goalie is now preparing to start her senior year and finish her Bachelor of Science, majoring in psy-
chology. It’s expected to be a big season for Ladiges, who will fill the starting goaltender spot in September, after the previous starting goalie, a team U.S.A. prospect, graduated. Unlike many other division one teams, the Ivy league teams, such as Yale, have to follow a few strict guidelines. Playing for an Ivy means that Ladiges can’t space her four-year program out over five years, which many athletes at non-Ivy schools do. Ivy league schools also aren’t allowed to give out athletic scholarships – though most division one athletes at other schools receive full rides. Ladiges receives financial assistance given international students for a majority of her considerable educational costs. Including students housing and books, the figure over four years amounts to “enough to buy a house.” The academic focus also means Yale has strict dates that the team can’t play between – athletics can’t fall too early, or too late into the academic year. Ladiges had to get used to

skills, but she has seen less playing time as a result. This year, she will be facing a new level of pressure as the team’s starting goalie. “I used to play 80 games in a season, now as an Ivy we play so many less, 29,” she said. Compared to non-Ivy schools, “each game means more, and we’re at a bit of a disadvantage.” During the upcoming season she will add in one more thing to the mix – studying for her graduate school exams. She hopes to attend graduate school when she finishes at Yale, but she’s undecided where as of yet. She has her books with her at home, as she mixes in a part-time summer job and five workouts a week into her summer break. Despite playing in the United States, Ladiges is still a proud to come back home to Almonte. She is one of three Ottawa area girls on the team, with a teammate from Manotick, and another from Pembroke. “Our team is 12 Canadians out of 23,” she said. And when they played against the Americans in a team scrimmage, “we definitely won.”

girls’ team in a provincial league – and with the team the only one east of Whitby, it meant a lot of time spent in the car. “In university, you can’t take certain courses you want to take, it can restrict what you do academically,” she said. “A lot of people come in and freak out first year, but you have to take it all in stride.” At Yale, playing with the Bulldogs commits Ladiges to four practices, two games and two gym workout sessions a week. The educationally-focused team had 19 players named to the all-academic team – compared to Ivy league schools Harvard, with 13, and Brown with five. “Every year it’s been like that,” she said. “Our coaches are pretty proud.” To make the all-academic team, the players must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0. Minus the standard everyother-game for her first year of minor hockey, Ladiges has always been a goalie. Playing with a team U.S.A. level goalie on her team has been good for her

Canadians looking for billet families BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – Now that the Carleton Place Junior A Canadians have their home game schedule for September, they need to make sure that they all have homes. The team has no shortage of out-of-town players, with 16 that will be living with local families again this year, said billet co-ordinator Crystal Warywoda. She has had success this year placing the billets, who are almost all new players, with families by using a compatibility survey. Warywoda was close to not taking a billet this year, until she met one of the new players and his father. “I said, ‘Mike, were you truthful on this?’” said Warywoda. “He cooks three times a day, he cuts the grass, you’re staying here with me!” Not all of the incoming players have been placed with families yet, though. There are still three incoming players, including one with an animal allergy, who are looking for homes. The players are mostly 17-years-
old, up to 20-years-old. Warywoda said a particular need is for families who live close to town, and are a reasonable distance to the rink and high schools. It’s been arranged for some of the players to be reading buddies for students at St. Gregory’s School in Carleton Place, noted Warywoda. “These are good character kids.” Families do not have to provide transportation for players, but are required to feed, provide a bedroom and Internet access. In return, the families receive $300 a month to offset food costs, and get season tickets to all home games. “That way they can go to every home game and cheer on their player,” she said. “This year we have more billeted players than last year; it’s almost a whole new dressing room.” The players arrive in late August for exhibition games before the final team roster is set the first week of September. “I also need to find transitional homes with all the trades coming in,” Warywoda said. “It’s such a whirlwind of things that are happening; we need some short-term places for players to stay until I can find them a billet family.”
Jr. A hockey schedule STAFF CARLETON PLACE — The Carleton Place junior A Canadians have their home ice schedule for the upcoming 2011-12 hockey season. The first game in Carleton Place will be Sept. 17 against Smiths Falls Bears, who will be under a new coach following Bill Bower’s firing at the end of the last season. They will take on the current national champions, Pembroke Lumber Kings, on Dec. 9.

Players who know what family they will be living with have already started talking to their billet parents, which is important as many of the players are leav-
ing home for the first time. “I think it makes a big difference for the younger kids, so they’ve had that chance to get to know each other and feel a little
more at ease,” she said. For more information about becoming a billet or transitional family, call Warywoda at 613-2992480.

Wide world of sports for kids at camp DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
ALMONTE – Forget a triathlon, a competition involving three sports in one, how about a day with four sports? Think you’re up for it? The Almonte Reformed Presbyterian Church thinks that you are, if you are one of the 80 kids selected for their fifth annual Summer SU Sportz Camp. “We get more interest early on, (and it) fills up quicker,” said Beth-Anne Van Noppen, the event organizer. Her church teams up with SU Sportz, which partners with churches to run such camps with university-level coaches and student athletes, as well as physical education teachers in training. This year’s camp will be held at the regular location, Naismith Memorial Public School, 260 King St., Almonte, from Tuesday, Aug. 2 until Friday, Aug. 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Kids can take part in basketball, football, soccer and volleyball. “It’s a hit, no pun intended,” said Van Noppen of the football program. There are four age groups of kids aged eight to 13, at a price of $110 per child, with a family rate available if a family registers more than three children. Van Noppen thanked Almonte and District High School for loaning out some of their equipment for the camp. Normally area churches host summer bible camps, but Van Noppen said that her church decided that it wanted to do something different. “It was something that we thought was a great bridge with the community since lots of kids enjoy sports,” said Van Noppen. “We wanted to have families that weren’t just going to be church families taking part.” To register or for information, call Tammy Welk at 613-256-0842 or email tntwelk@xplornet.com.

‘Don’t defer to Toronto on sewage policy’ BY GEOFF DAVIES geoff.davies@perthcourier.com
A 16-member committee of municipal, economic and public interests has approved draft policies to regulate local sewage systems, but at least one member raised objections on how much say the provincial government will get. The Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Committee, which met July 7 in Carleton Place, is charged with crafting locally driven policies to protect sources of drinking water in the Mississippi and Rideau watersheds. The committee is looking at 21 different categories of drinking water threats, including the storage and management of agricultural materials, road salt, fuel and snow. At their latest monthly meeting, committee members discussed and approved draft policies for potential and existing threats from sewage systems. The six listed threats include discharge from sewage plants, the storage of sewage at the Munster lagoon, and the storage of untreated stormwater in retention ponds. In these three cases, the committee rec-
ommended leaving it up to the provincial Ministry of the Environment to amend its policies and rules. “I’m hesitant to see that done,” said Paul Knowles, chief administrative officer of Carleton Place, who voiced his concerns during discussions. “The (provincial government) set up these committees all across the province to have local input and local control, to look at the local circumstances and decide on the regulations locally. And we’re just going to say to Toronto, you just make them up.” Knowles made this point during discussions of storage ponds for untreated stormwater, such as the one featured in the presentation he gave on sewage works and potential threats in Carleton Place. For these ponds, the approved draft policy – which will go through four more rounds of review and consultation before final approval – recommends the ministry keeps the local water-protection authority informed on its decisions and policy-changes. “We will have the final say locally on what our regulation is … And (the Ministry of the Environment) can go ahead and institute whatever rules they feel like on top of that,” Knowles said. While the committee’s regulations, once approved and implemented, may serve as a minimum standard, the ministry has the option of implementing ad-
ditional rules. But that’s not something the ministry should be encouraged to do, Knowles said. “The whole reason we (the committee) even exist is to develop local interest. If that wasn’t important then they never should have created the committees in the first place,” said Knowles. The Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Committee is one of 19 committees in Ontario created by the Clean Water Act after the tragedy in Walkerton, where
seven people died from exposure to an E. coli-contaminated water supply. Sommer Casgrain-Robertson, the local committee’s co-project manager, said the recommendation has more to do with leaving technical decisions to the experts, than with surrendering local say. “We’re not stormwater experts,” she said, referring to the retention pond policy that prompted Knowles’ remarks.

Water issues on the table From ‘Drinking’, page 22 “We’re looking at 21 threats, but we’re not the technical experts on the 21 different threats ‌ So if it’s the ministry that currently reviews certificates of approval for stormwater (retention ponds), than it makes sense to rely on their technical expertise.â€? Ministry liaison Mary Wooding declined to comment on Knowles’ remarks, but emphasized that airing the concerns of representatives from various sectors was part of the intention behind creating the committee.
Formed in October 2007, the committee crafts policies for the Mississippi and Rideau watersheds that will affect areas immediately surrounding the 12 municipal water sources in the area, or almost two per cent of the roughly 8,000 squarekilometre area, said Casgrain-Robertson. The final product will be a Source Protection Plan, due to be submitted to the provincial government by August 2012. If approved by the government, it would become a package of laws impacting provincial, municipal and other activities in the watershed.

Tony’s Air Conditioning Special!!! The Weather is hot!! Make sure you can stay cool!! The function of an air conditioner is to help remove the heat and humidity from inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Powered by a belt, the air conditioning compressor compresses the refrigerant to pressurize it and pump it through the system. The refrigerant is pushed through a valve where pressure and temperature are reduced. The now-cool
refrigerant travels through the evaporator in the passenger compartment. As a result, cooled air is blown into your vehicle. This refrigerant returns to the compressor where the cycle begins once again. • visually inspect the air conditioning compressor drive belt for cracks or damage • visually inspect accessible components for leaks or damage

The statue, created by Elden Tefft was made at his studio in Lawrence, Kansas. It is a heroic sized bronze statue depicting Naismith sitting with a basketball in his hands, and a peach basket at his feet. The sculpture will be sitting on a granite bench, long enough so that others may sit beside him. It weighs just less than 1 tonne and sits at a height of approximately 4 feet high. The Foundation would like to thank the following major supporters — The Town of Mississippi Mills, the Naismith Minor Basketball Association, Canada Basketball, Ontario Basketball, McGill University, the Almonte Lions Club and FIBA (International Basketball Federation).

SchoolBox to cycle into Almonte BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
ALMONTE – Jon Tam sat in Equator Coffee Roasters July 14, recalling the first time he met SchoolBox founder and president, Tom Affleck, at Equador one New Year’s Eve. It was the start of many things for him, as Tam now lives in Nicaragua, where he works on SchoolBox projects full-time. His computer went off with a Skype call from Affleck, calling from South America, which he quickly answered. “Hey, I have a great story I have to tell you,” Affleck said. “The last few days, we’ve been in North Nicaragua …” Tam broke in with excitement, anticipating what Affleck was about to say. “Did you find her?” Tam asked. “Well …” Affleck began. SCHOOLBOX ROOTS SchoolBox was started in Almonte by Affleck, an Almonte District High School grad. He was working in Nicaragua when he visited to the northern part of the country. He had some extra supplies, and saw a little girl, who he offered a pencil and notebook. The girl and her father were thrilled be-
yond belief. “Now she can go to school,” the father told Affleck. He was inspired by that little girl and came back to Almonte to figure out how to help. Now, five years later, 200 volunteers have travelled with Affleck to Nicaragua to help build classrooms with his foundation, SchoolBox. On July 24, the SchoolBox’s 25th classroom, the Shirley Case School, will open its doors. Shirley Case was a Canadian aid worker killed in Afghanistan. In her memory, her friends and family decided to raise money to support SchoolBox and ran an event in Toronto called ‘Things I’ve Been Meaning To Do’. Ilan Levy went to the event, and decided that his goal of cycling across Canada should be accelerated forward a couple of years, Tam said. Levy met with Affleck, and was able to visit Nicaragua and see the work that SchoolBox was doing. Soon enough, plans were in place for Cycle4SchoolBox. Levy started his cycling trek in North Vancouver June 7, and will cycle a total of 8,249 km to complete his nation-wide marathon. Along the way, his goal is to raise $100,000 – which will go to buy 8,000 school packages with supplies, such as the ones Affleck gave the little girl on his first trip. It would also be enough money to fund the building of eight classrooms.

SchoolBox cross-country cyclist coming to Almonte Aug. 5 From ‘SchoolBox’, page 27 On Aug. 5, Levy will take a “break” from his cross-Canada ride and come to Almonte, Affleck’s hometown, where it all began, to lead two rides – the Mississippi Mills Tour (20-25-km) and the Almonte Fun Rally Tour (5-10-km with bike or walk). The pledge form can be found at schoolboxca.wordpress.com/ get-involved/fundraising Following the ride, there will be a barbecue at 5:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church at 62
Clyde St. “There’s no way that we could be building our 25th classroom without Almonte,” said Tam. “I hope that people are interested in biking, interested in what we do – or just hungry for the barbecue.” SchoolBox uses a combination of Canadian volunteers, many of whom have been from Almonte, and Nicaraguan volunteers and staff to build the schools. “Ultimately, it’s the kids, the kids are so beautiful, and it’s amazing when I think about

The two girls proudly told Affleck that they were still in school, one entering Grade 5 and the other beginning high school. Despite the conditions that had made the little girls unable to afford even a pencil five years ago, they told Affleck they both had big dreams – one to become a doctor, the other, a lawyer.
what they can do with education,” said Affleck, who had just returned from two days of scouting locations and meeting with government officials. But while on the two days of scouting locations, he found himself in a very familiar place – close to where he had met the little girl, only six-years-old, and given her the notebook. “It was like going all over the Ottawa Valley, trying to find this one person,” Affleck said. One person recognized the

To find the little girls was proof to Affleck that the work SchoolBox has done, and the support that the town of Almonte has given – both in fundraising and manual labour in South America – are making a longterm difference in the lives of the children.

Mind, Body & Spirit What is Reflexology?
circulation, opens the flow in blocked nerves and helps promote the natural functioning and healing of the body. Reflexology does not diagnose or prescribe. The whole body is treated rather than a specific condition.
Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive healing art that is based on the principal that there are reflexes in the feet and hands that correspond to every part of the body. The physical image of the body is mapped onto the feet, for example, in a logical, anatomical pattern; the toes represent the head, the ball of the foot corresponds to the internal organs and the heel of the foot corresponds to the pelvic region in our body. Similar maps of the hands are found as well. Through the application of pressure on these reflexeswith hands only-Reflexology relieves tension, improves
Essentially, Reflexology helps to balance the physical, mental and emotional aspects of your whole body. For example, if an organ or gland is under active or overactive, Reflexology can help return it to a normal level. For each person, the application and the effect of the therapy are unique. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet/hands and by working on these points the reflexologist can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased and circulation and elimination are improved. This gentile therapy encourages the body to heal itself at it’s own pace, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse.

CP Knights of Columbus celebrate 50th anniversary Council has hopes of a spin-off Almonte council in future CARLETON PLACE – As dates go for the founding of a Catholic fraternal men’s organization, July 12 is a particularly ironic one. July 12 is the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, which celebrates the victory of the Protestant Dutch King William III of Orange over the Catholic King James II for the English throne. “Our council was chartered on the 12th of July, 1961 in Almonte,” said Harry Boles, the former Grand Knight of the Dr. J.F. Dunn Council 5153 of the Carleton Place Knights of Columbus. “We’ve often wondered why (they) would possibly charter it on that date? ... The Orange Lodge and the Knights don’t always share the same point of view, one being Protestant, the other being Catholic.” The official ceremonies celebrating the council’s anniversary were held Saturday, June 25, with a mass at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Carleton Place, followed by a dinner and presentation at Notre Dame Catholic High School across town. Mayor Wendy LeBlanc was on hand for the party. For the uninitiated, John Kordos, the newly-elected Grand Knight for the council, explains the Knights are “basically a group of men who support the church and needs groups within the community.” The organization first met on Oct. 2, 1881 in the basement of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, Conn., led by Fr. Michael McGivney. The Knights of Columbus was officially founded on March 29, 1882, and has now spread to Canada and European nations like Poland. “It’s grown from a very small nucleus to an organization that now has more than 1.8 million supporters,” said Boles.

the Knights are expanding rapidly in Poland since, following the downfall of Communism, Poles have returned to the church, and also because of the support the late Pope John Paul II had for the organization. The local council was founded in Almonte in 1961, but because the majority of members were from Carleton Place, the council moved there in 1967. Since then, Boles admitted that the Holy Name of Mary Roman Catholic Church parish in Almonte was “not the main focus of attention,” for the council. About four years ago, the council decided to bring Almonte back into the fold. The council’s monthly meetings now alternate between the two towns, with the Carleton Place meetings taking place on the first Thursday of the month, and then next month on the first Wednesday of the month in Almonte. “That has proved to be a big boon to us,” said Boles. “We’ve picked up several new members.” The council has about 93 memSubmitted photo bers, well over the 30 required to Members of the fourth degree of the Knights of Columbus J.F.

Continued from page 31 there were 30 men there,” to form their own chapter, said Kordos, himself an Almonte resident. “Whether that will happen in my lifetime, I don’t know.” The Carleton Place parish priest, Fr. Gus Mendonca, has been a member of the Knights for the past 45 years, and other long-time members of the Knights were in attendance last month, including two of the original founding members of council 5153, Paul Finner, who lives in Almonte, and Michael Newton, who now lives in Gloucester. “It was really great to see those guys there,” said Kordos. Four other surviving members were unable to attend, including Robert Finner, who lives in Renfrew; Edward Kennedy, who lives at the Fairview Manor in Almonte; Michael McAuliffe, also of Almonte; and Adelard Moss of Brockville. Another familiar face the members were glad to see was that of Paul Finn. “We support a seminarian who is on his way to be becoming a priest,” said Kordos. “He received the call and now is
in his second last year (at the seminary). It’s a tremendous change for the gentleman,” since Finn, now in middle age, had been working as a civil servant for the federal government. “He spoke to us of travelling to Russia and seeing a place where the worship of God was downtrodden by the state,” said Boles. “Now, it (religious life) is being brought back to life. It makes you a little more cognizant of the greater powers that are around.” Even with their success in Poland, like other similar organizations, the council is struggling to find younger members to carry on their work. “In this society that we live in today, young people are over-stressed with the work environment, home front, etc,” said Boles. “The Knights are perceived as another drain on their time. We’d love to have 30 to 40 young men come forward. It’s a struggle to find the time.” The Knights do have companion organizations for women like the Legion of Mary and also the Catholic Women’s League.
Above, plaques were presented to surviving original charter members Michael Newton, far left, and Paul Finner, second from left, by Grand Knight Harry Boles, far right and 50th anniversary committee chairman Barry Desarmia, second from right.

Kingston Learning Centre (KLC) with campuses in Smiths Falls and Kingston, is committed to training skilled classroom Educational Assistants and Child and Youth Workers who can help special needs children and youth succeed in the classroom and in life. The Educational Assistant program is designed to provide dedicated men and women with the attitudes, skills and knowledge necessary to assist special needs children in a school setting. The Child and Youth Worker program trains people to work with individuals and families facing behavioural issues. In each case, candidates are individuals interested in making a difference in the lives of children and young people facing major life challenges. The EA program also provides training in First aid, CPR, non-violent crisis prevention and intervention that is specific to dealing with children with Autism. These additional important components to the Educational Assistant program are taught by guest speakers who are experts in the field. Supervisor and instructor Norman Rudd was a Special Education administrator and consultant. He has received the Educational Leader of the Year Award from the Council for Exceptional Children. The CYW program prepares students to provide frontline treatment to emotionally troubled and disturbed children and youth. Students receive specific training related to child management techniques, family support interventions, therapeutic relationships, designing treatment programs (for both individuals and groups) and working within multi-disciplinary teams. They specialize in supporting change with children, youth and their families who have a range of social, emotional and behavioural challenges, and they learn how to implement a range of prevention, intervention and treatment strategies including crisis intervention, conflict management, problem solving, counselling, activity programming and group work. “This course is presented through a combination of online, independent and classroom study; this format allows students to continue to work while they earn their CYW diploma. It is a fast growing field of study, offering graduates a wide variety of career opportunities,” says Rick Skinner, Program Supervisor. Graduates can expect to find employment in the following areas: • residential treatment centres • children’s mental health centres • group homes/youth detention centres • educational services (Boards of Education) • day treatment centres • social service agencies (Family and Children’s Services) • self-employment initiatives KLC programs are unique in that they offer a condensed curriculum, allowing the EA students to graduate in one year and the CYW students in two years. KLC curricula comply with all Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities requirements, and KLC students complete the classroom and placement portions of the program in compliance with all Ministry regulations. The shorter time period allows graduates to enter the work force sooner. At KLC students learn in a supportive and stimulating environment: “My whole experience with KLC was amazing. The knowledge I gained concerning special education and the skills I learned in dealing with students with extreme behaviours has paid off time and time again. I use this knowledge and these skills daily at my job. I was hired 3 months after graduation and have been told in more than one interview that I have a greater understanding of children with special needs than many others with many more years’ experience than I. The small class sizes and the career oriented curriculum and the more than knowledgeable staff make KLC a top rate choice in college education.” Lori Wilson (EA graduate) Enroll now for September sessions.

The annual July 12th parade was held in Smiths Falls this year, making its way down Beckwith Street, the main drag. The parade draws members of the Loyal Orange Lodge from chapters all over eastern Ontario, and marks the victory of forces loyal to the Protestant King William of Orange over the Catholic James II for the English throne, during the Battle of the Boyne in County Meath, Ireland, in 1690. Legend has it that the Dutch-born “King Billy,” as he is affectionately known, led his troops into battle atop a white charger. Similar parades are still held in places like Northern Ireland and Newfoundland today. Text and photos by Desmond Devoy

Can Carleton Place, Almonte and Beckwith handle another Baptist church? According to two Baptist pastors, there is certainly enough parishioners to go around. Pastor Scott Ridenour, formerly of Augusta, Ga., has announced plans to start up the inSpire church in Carleton Place this coming fall. Rather than be seen as a northern offshoot of the Southern Baptist congregation, the inSpire church, the “church-planting” initiative, is instead a more direct branch of the Sequoia Community Church in Barrhaven. Ridenour has, however, brought several contingents of Southern Baptists from Georgia and Alabama to Carleton Place over the summer to run numerous outreach events and good works in the community, in the run-up to opening his church. There are already several Baptist churches in the Ottawa Valley, with one each in Carleton Place, Almonte and Beckwith Township, though they are not part of the Ottawa contingency of Baptist churches, but instead part of the Canada Central Association of Baptist churches. “It’s not like a business where if you’re selling hockey skates and someone starts selling skates across the street, then it becomes a price game,” said Pastor Paul Benson of the Almonte Baptist Church. “I wouldn’t see a competition between this church and the new Baptist church in Carleton Place.” He pointed out that on events such as the Way of the Cross at Easter, his church is involved with several other local churches and that 15 years ago, such happenings might not have gotten such broad support. “There is a need for partnership that is larger than ourselves,” said Benson. “We’d better stop shooting at each other (figuratively) and (start) working with each other because we’re living in a post-Christian age.” He noted that local churches openness to collaboration with other de-
nominations and faiths is something point out that some Pentecostal dethat the inSpire church, coming out nominations, like the Free Methodists of the Southern Baptist convention, congregations in Almonte (Cornerstone Community Church) and Carmight find problematic. “I think that the Southern Baptists leton Place (The Lighthouse) might would be a little less open to that,” said also be affected. The pastor of the SeBenson. “They are individually-mind- quoia church, Ryan Dawson, has plans ed. I don’t mean that as a criticism, but to “plant” similar churches in places like Kemptville and Carleton Place. as a fact.” “I guess they did it in Barrhaven so Benson pointed out that in places like Florida, in the American bible I guess it is unique,” said Affleck. “I belt, “they have a church on every don’t think other denominations do corner,” and churches can stay afloat that.” With Highway 7 now expanded because attendance rates are higher to four lanes, a new host of church options are open to people. than they are in Canada. “So, it’s good to keep it in Carleton Benson also noted his church, and others, are also having to contend with Place,” said Affleck. “church-hopping.” “We’re trying to find those people who don’t have a spiritual home,” Benson added. “Denominational loyalty is not as important today as spiritual relationships.” He pointed out Almonte could be home to several more churches if the “unchurched” were taken in to account. Further south, the Carleton Place Baptist Church is also waiting to see what form the new inSpire church will take. “I guess they’re going to try to make it work,” said Pastor Brian Affleck of the Carleton Place Baptist Church. “It’s a struggle these days to keep going.” Coldwell Banker Rideau Heartland Realty Ltd.

Second time lucky in eared grebe sighting LYNDA C. BENNETT
that has buffy ear tufts in summer. More than 15 ruddy ducks were present, a purple gallinule, mallards and killdeer, but no eared grebe. Three days later, at the Casselman sewage lagoons, I tried again. My husband Cliff accompanied me. We stood on the edge of the large cell, and there was the eared grebe! Bird No. 212 on my Ontario year list. This grebe is a bird of southwestern Canada (east to Manitoba), and south into the western United States. One wonders how it came east. Smaller grebes, like the eared, take mostly aquatic invertebrates, including various insects and their larvae, crayfish and shrimp as their food supply. They will also eat small fish, amphibians, and aquatic vegetation. Grebes usually grab
Strictly for the Birds
As I mentioned in last week’s column, one must try again. Birds like wetlands, in many shapes and forms. A favourite is sewage lagoons. On June 11, I went to the Embrum sewage lagoons, hoping to see the reported eared grebe. This is a small grebe, with a short slender bill,
fish with the bill, but in some cases spear them. They forage at or near the water’s surface. However, they can dive to 27-m, (90 ft.). (Reference: The Sibley Guide to Bird Life & Behavior). Locally, the Monday walkers hiked the trails in Fortune’s sugar bush, June 11. They heard American crow, red-eyed vireo, hermit and wood thrushes, ovenbird, and blue jay. Light winds, a few clouds and a very pleasant, though warm, day to walk. In Pakenham in the last couple of weeks, Joel Byrne watched a large flock of turkey vultures soaring over the Fivespan bridge area. As well, several groups of ring-billed gulls plied over the river, with an occasional glimpse of an osprey.

Photos scatter the coffee table at Barb Dowdall’s house, depicting plowing matches, furrow queens and former directors of the Lanark County Plowmen’s Association. The association is celebrating its silver anniversary this year, as the organization has been positively promoting agriculture through plowing for 25 years. The memories over the past quarter century are too many to list, said Dowdall, who has been secretary/treasurer for its entire existence. However, she remembers well the night that the association was brought into being. “It came about from (the late) John Moffatt, who plowed since about 1939, saying that we should have a more local organization,” Dowdall said. From there, Dowdall and her husband Leonard, Moffatt and Jim Lowry took the reins and got one started. The first meeting was at the Beckwith Township Hall on Dec. 9, 1986, Dowdall said. Elizabeth Moffatt, the wife of the late founding member John, was in attendance at the County Queen of the Furrow dinner held
last year at the Lanark Civitan Hall which hosted 130 people. At the time, Elizabeth said she remembered the night the association was created. “It was a cold and stormy night on Dec. 9 when John Moffatt, my husband, called a meeting at the Beckwith Hall to see if any of the farmers around were interested in starting a plowmen’s association. Only 10 people showed up, but they were enthused right from the start,” Elizabeth was quoted as saying in the Carleton Place/Almonte Canadian Gazette. Jim Lowry said prior to that, people interested in joining a plowing organization had to become members in the Ottawa and Carleton Association. “Most counties in Ontario had their own associations,” Lowry said. “John Moffatt felt it was a good thing for this county, so he suggested we start a local one.” Old newspaper articles thought to be clipped from The Perth Courier allude to the Lanark County Plowmen’s association dating back to at least 1923. One such article from that year notes a match was held “on the farm of James Acheson on the Scotch Line.” Another reference to an area association pops up in an un-
dated and unattributed article in 1926, being called the South Lanark branch of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association. However, any such association must have long before disbanded by the time to current incarnation was formed, as Dowdall said that the Ontario Plowmen’s Association had no record of an existing Lanark county association when they formed in 1986. As word got around that the association had formed, its membership numbers grew rapidly. In 1987 it held its first match, with 350 members at that time. Now, Dowdall said the association has about 45 members. “Many of the older people who were interested in plowing and joining plowing associations have passed away by now,” Dowdall said. Dowdall said even though membership seems to be waning, plowing associations are still integral parts of rural communities. “Plowmen’s associations are organizations that help to promote agriculture along with good plowing practices,” she said. “I still think the basic principles are current.” Lowry agreed, saying such associations teach people to plow a straight furrow, which will
always be relevant to people involved in agriculture. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS The years following inception were also years of growth. In 1988, the ladies division of the association was started, and 1989 saw the 4-H plowing club start with about six members on board. That grew to about 17 members at its peak, than dropped off for several years so the association gave up the youth club. Dowdall said last year the club started again and about 14 young people came on board. “Membership is a funny thing; it really seems to go in cycles,” she said. One claim to fame for the local association is Perth’s Trina Code being crowed the Ontario Queen of the Furrow in 1990. Dowdall said there was quite a process for Code to go through before the provincial honour was bestowed on her, but she came through with shining colours. In subsequent years, other Lanark queens earned provincial podium finishes as well, including Nichole Munroe and Lowry’s own daughter, Bonnie. The association was also commended for hosting the International Plowing Match in 2003 on
the farm of Mel Hammond. County plowing matches are more common, and are held annually on a different farm each time. “We’ve had many good matches along the way,” she said. This year, the Lanark Plowmen’s Association is gearing to hold the 2011 Lanark County Plowing Match at the farm of Bill Dobson and family on Matheson Road near Smiths Falls Aug. 19 and 20. Friday features a director’s plowing class, machinery displays, 4-H Plowing Club achievement, demonstrations and more. Saturday kicks off with a pancake breakfast at 7 a.m. Then the plowing begins, with horse and tractor plowing classes, antique exhibits and demonstrations, ladies exhibits, craft sales, a 4-H square dancing demonstration at 11 a.m., media and municipal plowing and musical entertainment. Admission is $5. Hitting the quarter-century mark will be celebrated this Saturday (July 23) evening, as the association is hosting a Lanark County Plowmen’s 25th anniversary dinner at the Lanark Civitan Hall.
