eye on the hardware from a convertible they rode in during the parade.

Representatives from minor hockey teams were also invited to march in the parade, to honour their respective outstanding seasons.

The parade was led to the Neelin Street arena, where hockey fans could enjoy a meet and greet with Canadians players, take photos and receive autographs.

The Canadians capped off the 2013-2014 season with their annual awards banquet Wednesday evening.

Community – The longest continuous battle of the Second World War, the Battle of the Atlantic, will be commemorated on Sunday, May 25 in Almonte.

The service will be hosted by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 Almonte and a parade will start at 1:40 p.m. from the Legion (100 Bridge St.) to the cenotaph and a Service of Remembrance will be held beside the Old Town Hall to honour those who died at sea during the battle.

Wreaths will be tossed in the river and bells will toll for each of the 24 Canadian warships that were lost at sea, John Souter, past president of the Almonte Legion, encourages members of the public to attend.

“It tends to be one of those forgotten occasions and we need to recognize it more,” said Souter.

“We are hoping as many members of the public as possible come out.”

The Battle of the Atlantic started on the opening day of the war and ended six years later with Germany’s surrender in May 1945, during which Canada played a central role.

“It was the longest battle in World War II, it was essential for victory and there was tremendous sacrifice,” said Souter.

“We owe this to those veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice, we owe them tremendous gratitude.”

Several Almonte area veterans fought in the Battle of the Atlantic, including Lt. Edward H. Winslow-Spragge, Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve, who served on the Navy corvette, HMCS Amherst 194143.

In a backgrounder from the Legion, Winslow-Spragge described the situation as being very tense.

“Corvettes were never intended to be mid-ocean vessels but were cheap and simple to construct. They were more seaworthy and stable than destroyers and bobbed like corks,” stated Winslow-Spragge.

There was little air cover until 1943 and the corvettes would use Anti-Submarine Detection Investigation Committee or active sonar signals to locate the positions of enemy U-boats.

Winslow-Spragge explained what it was like on sea: “We would wait until we got an instant echo return and set off a pattern of depth charges, set to explode at 50 feet. I was signal officer and, as watch keeper, usually took the middle watch from midnight to 4 a.m. The first sign of U-boat activity was the flash of an oil tanker exploding after a torpedo strike.

You didn’t dare stop to pick up survivors. Occasionally a ship would stop and be torpedoed too. A corvette would go down in about three minutes with little chance of survival and, with the U-boats hunting in ‘wolf packs’ of six or eight, it was too risky.”

When the war started, Canada’s navy had six destroyers, five minesweepers, two auxiliary vessels and 3,252 officers and sailors. However, by 1944, the navy had 400 vessels and 92,441 officers and sailors. By the time the battle was over, 2,603 allied merchant ships were sunk, 175 warships, with a loss of 50,000 lives including more than 1,600 navy personnel from Canada.

Also during the event, members of the Carleton Place (Lanark) Sea Cadets will read the names of the vessels that were lost at sea. The master of ceremonies will be Reg Gamble.

The reviewing officer for the cadets in attendance will be Vice-Admiral (Ret.) Ron Buck, who will also present the Cadet Medal of Excellence to the top sea cadet.

ing that society seemed to view sexual assault differently from other crimes. “If you run a red light, there is no doubt that you (the red-light runner) are at fault,� Lee told the students. “If you are sexually assaulted, it is no longer clear if you are worthy of being a victim.�

Miss representation Lee was speaking at a conference supported not only by Interval House, but also by the Perth and Almonte Civitan Clubs. Funding was also provided by the Perth and District Community Foundation, and the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. “There was an overwhelming desire for us to be able to point out how media and society influence messaging to all genders about how they should behave, react, dress,� Lee said. “We are being socialized that a woman is not seen as a human being, it is what she looks like,� that matters.

The day started off with word association, with Lee shouting out, “Slut,� and the students responding with “whore.�

R0012711445_0522

News – The head of Interval House of Lanark County has defended coupling the county’s first-ever “Slut Walk� with the annual “Take Back the Night� rally. “We didn’t feel like doing a Slut Walk just on its own,� said Erin Lee, the executive director of the women’s shelter, during an interview at the Perth Civitan Club hall on Wednesday, May 14, during a conference for teenagers on building positive female images. “We are a community where change happens slowly.�

The joint walk will take place on Sept. 26 in front of the Carleton Place town hall, but even the “Take Back the Night� rally took a long time to reach the level of acceptance that it has in the county, said Lee. “It took a long time to get people on side,� she said. “It takes time.�

During the inaugural walk, about 75 walkers showed up. Now, more than 200 walkers assemble every fall on Mill Street. “If you just go ahead and do a slut walk, people won’t understand it.�

Plans are afoot to for a stand-alone “Slut Walk,â€? in the summer of 2015, which will be “about saying ‘I can dress as I want‌and no one should be able to sexually assault me.â€?

The “Slut Walk,� phenomena has its origins in Toronto in 2011. The Excalibur student newspaper at York University reported that, on Jan. 24 of that year, a member of the Toronto Police Service was heard to suggest that women could avoid sexual assaults by not dressing like a “slut� during a campus safety information session at the Osgoode Hall law school at York. The comments then spawned a “Slut Walk� where women and their supporters intentionally dressed provocatively that spring.

For the Carleton Place walk though, “we would encourage people participating in the Slut Walk (to dress) in a way that represents them. If drag is that, be that. Dress however you want,� Lee said.

She added that a sexual predator, who is on the hunt for a woman to assault, is going to be looking for any opportunity to commit his crime – not looking for someone wearing revealing clothing. “How do we deal with predators, people who are on the street?� asked Lee. She added that women not only need to be told how not to get raped, but that men should also be told the message

“I said, ‘ghetto,’ they said, ‘poor,’� she said, as another example. The conference was a way to “challenge them to shift the way we think about things.�

One student told the crowd that she had already started to challenge society’s accepted gender norms. “I don’t believe in gender roles,� said Hayley Fortier of Carleton Place High School. “I don’t believe that, for a woman, you need to behave a certain way. I am not defined by my gender. I am a human with a soul. That’s all that defines me. It’s not your gender that makes you who you are. It is your soul.�

A large “Slut Walk� banner had been rolled out on the back table for participants to add their voice to the issue, with many students writing down their feelings. “Just because you dress a way does not mean you deserve anything bad,� wrote Alicia Ray. “Dress how you want,� wrote Nicole Davies. “Be who you are. Stay strong! Be proud to be a woman! You are beautiful, no matter what.� “You know who you are and what type of person you are and that’s all that matters,� wrote Claudia Sarbutt, a student from the T.R. Leger School in Carleton Place.

Cyclists, walkers, local government to ride into Active Transportation Summit May 29-30 tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – Active transportation will re-define how communities are shaped, in the future, to ensure that everyone can maintain a good quality of life.

The first-ever Eastern Ontario Active Transportation summit is set for May 29 and 30 at Almonte Old Town Hall, to showcase ideas and success stories about making communities more bike-able and walk-able through trails, sidewalks, parks and pathways.

Jeff Mills, co-ordinator community development at Mills Community Support, thinks it is time to change what a complete street is.

“The time has come, in hopefully age-friendly communities, where we are designing roads that work for all road users and we are not designing roads for cars. Roads are there for a reason, to move people,” said Mills, one of the organizers of the summit.

“Some of those people are not in cars, they are trying to get across the street in a walker, and trying to cycle to school because we keep telling kids they need to be more active.”

Mills thinks people need to re-think how and where people build roads.

“In many countries because of the cost of fuel you don’t even think about getting into your car unless it’s a long distance, they plan for that quality of life,” said Mills.

“Roads are the connecting life blood of the community, they

should work for more than just cars.”

The summit has been organized by a number of local organizations who have an interest in active transportation including: the counties of Lanark and Renfrew, including Healthy Communities Partnership, Leeds Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, Mills Community Support, the Town of Mississippi Mills, Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month, Renfrew County Physical Activities Network, Canada Walks, Ontario by Bike and Share the Road.

Danielle Shewfelt, public health nurse in the healthy living and development department with the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit thinks the agenda is large enough that it will interest a number of different people.

“For business people we want to say making your business friendly to walkers and cyclists is going to be a benefit to you, you’re going to get more people coming to your business,” said Shewfelt. “For the residents it’s really about having a safe and healthy environment to walk and bike from one place to the other.”

Mississippi Mills Coun.

John Edwards thinks it is a unique opportunity for council members because active transportation is a key part of its community official plan.

“This kind of thing is bringing ideas from outside our municipality to eastern Ontario. People from all

across Ontario that can bring ideas of how we can actually implement active transportation in our municipality,” said Edwards. “We are also going to do a very expensive master transportation plan for Mississippi Mills and active transportation is going to be a key part of what the consultants are going to do.”

They think they are only going to deal with trucks and cars but we want them to look at where are the bicycles in Mississippi Mills are going to go,” he said.

Shewfelt adds that it is important for local municipalities to attend because they are the ones who control the purse strings.

“It’s a good opportunity to get together with the other players, residents and businesses to see which part each of us play in making that happen,” said Shewfelt. “They (municipalities) are the ones who are in charge of the budget and the design and all of those aspects so we really need to partner so they can take full advantage of what has been done.”

There is a wide array of speakers at the event covering a number of different topics. On May 29, the keynote speaker is Marlaine Koehler, executive director of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, who has spent the past 15 years developing and managing the innovative partnership that has made a dramatic contribution towards the regeneration of the Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River waterfront.

Also speaking that day are: Sue Shikaze from Building Capacity for Rural Transportation, Kate Hall, Walk Friendly Ontario, Mike Dwyer, Designing Trails with Nature in Mind, Don Palmer, Community Bike Share programs, and Nancy Smith

Green Party candidate supports merged school boards, carbon tax installed by your neighbours.”

Climate change is an issue that has long been a major issue for his party, and he points out that the effects are being felt right here in Lanark County.

“Climate change is starting to affect our ability to grow food and sustain ourselves,” he said of the riding. “We are at a tipping point with the climate.

When people in Lanark County can’t tap maple syrup, that’s when people will see it.” After the drought of 2012, restrictions were already being placed on tapping, he said, and this past winter, with its brutal weather, has already put a strain on maple syrup production.

Cam Mather for electricity. While he commended the Liberals’ Green Energy Act, he noted that, for him, it did not go far enough.

“If you had put a price on carbon (instead), people would not have put up solar panels,” he said. “they would have let the market decide.” His party is proposing putting the money raised from a tax on carbon emissions into a trust fund, “so that the government cannot get its hands on it. We will even put it into the hands of a third party,” if need be, he said. Once the money is in the account, each Ontarian would get a “dividend cheque,” which, it is hoped, would then be spent on carbon-neutral heating like wood-burning stoves, geothermal heating, and the like.

“We are letting the marketplace decide,” Mather said. “Even Conservatives will love that!” he said with a laugh. “It makes you less reliant on government.”

He practices what he preaches.

“I live off of the grid, but I live a typical, North American lifestyle,” he said.

He also pointed to ground-source heat pumps and other efficient heating methods as improvements that can save money and resources – and which can be sourced locally.

Lanark County Getaway Contest winner announced News – Lanark County Tourism is thrilled to announce the winner of the Lanark County Getaway Contest – a couple from Edmonton, Alberta!

Steve and Angela were randomly selected as the winners of a $1,000 trip to the Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario, simply by choosing their ideal vacation in Lanark County.

“The concept of the contest was to have people choose their own adventure in Lanark County,” explains Lanark County Tourism manager Marie White.

“We have tools on our website at www. lanarkcountytourism.ca that give people the chance to plan their trip by choosing where they would like to stay, eat and play. Designing the custom tour acted as a ballot to enter the contest.”

Steve says he and his wife stumbled on the contest while looking to relocate to Lanark County and enjoy the cottage lifestyle. Steve is seeking a change of pace and wants to run his own business. At the same time, Angela discovered family connections nearby, and is looking forward to a reunion with

a long-lost sister.

Steve and Angela will work with Lanark County Tourism experts to maximize the value of their $1,000 getaway to their preferred restaurants, accommodations and attractions. The contest was offered in collaboration with travel writer Lucy Izon and the Ottawa Citizen.

The winner was selected on May 12.

“Just because the contest is over doesn’t mean you can’t create your own Lanark County getaway,” White adds.

While he is realistic about his party’s chances, he remains adamant that “there is an alternative to the traditional three parties.” Personally, “I have been selfemployed since 1987 so I am a perpetual optimist, but I am a realist.”

One of his ventures is a communitysupported agricultural farm at his Tamworth home, which now helps feed about 40 families. The families pay into the system, and receive a basket of vegetables and berries for about 16 weeks each year.

R0012714846_0522

News – The Green Party candidate for Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington is defending his party’s platform, which includes a proposal to merge the public and Catholic school systems.

During a telephone interview from his Tamworth home, near Kingston, on Wednesday, May 14, Cam Mather stated that the proposed policy – which has been dismissed by the other three mainline parties – would save not only taxpayer money, but also the environment too.

“Right now, we have this crazy system where we are subsidizing one system that is, essentially, private,” he said of the Catholic system. Ontario Green Party leader Mike Schreiner had floated the idea at his party’s platform launch the day before in Toronto, saying it would save the province at least $1.2 billion a year.

But for Mather, it goes beyond the money, since both school boards would often have two buses running along, essentially, the same routes, when a unified school board could pick up the same children, on the same route, with just one bus.

While then-Progressive Conservative party leader John Tory discovered what a live wire the education issue could be in the 2007 provincial vote, a year later, federal Liberal leader Stephane Dion discovered just how volatile ideas like a carbon tax could be with the electorate. But for Mather, these ideas are part of what makes his party the true conscience in Ontario politics.

“Isn’t it wonderful that we have a party that has the intestinal fortitude to do that?” he asked. “I’m not concerned about upsetting people any more.”

The environmentally-minded Greens once more have a carbon tax front and centre in their platform, which flew in the 2011 vote under the rhyming motto that the party would tax people “on what they burn, not what they earn.”

On the carbon tax, Mather admitted that he understood that people were upset about rising energy costs, especially

over climate change.

“That’s Randy’s business,” he said, at first, but, later in the conversation, noted that “97 per cent of scientists believe that the train is about to go over the cliff.

The scary thing is that Randy is siding with the three per cent. To say that this is something that we can ignore…is frustrating.”

Mather won his party’s nomination about a year ago, and while the party is focused on following the example of their federal cousins, in getting their leader, elected to the House of Commons through a seat in British Columbia, the Ontario Greens are focused on getting Schreiner elected in the Guelph area.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Children’s summer camp’s annual open house June 21 DEAR EDITOR: Much has been written about the sedentary life style that Canadian children have adopted with their iPads, iPods, iPhones, etc. Concerns have been raised about the “nature deficit” that young people are experiencing. What may not be known is that there exists nearby a little slice of heaven where children escape technology and are immersed in a close knit, active and social community close to nature, where they are accepted as they are.

It’s called Camp Lau-Ren, a children’s residential summer camp of the United Church of Canada where all children are welcome. Located just 10 kilometres west of Deep River on Highway 17W at 210 Lau-Ren Rd. in the Township of Laurentian Hills, Camp Lau-Ren offers two,

three and six night co-ed camps for children aged six to 15, including a three-night family camp night for all ages. Lau-Ren is accredited by the Ontario Camps Association.

It’s not too late to send a kid to camp. Visit www.camplau-ren.com for more information and come to our annual open house on Saturday, June 21 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a free barbecued hotdog, dessert, and s’mores. You can tour the site, see a camper’s cabin, check the beach and enjoy songs and skits around a campfire. We hope to see you there!

Bruce Patterson Secretary, Camp Lau-Ren board Carleton Place

COMMENTARY

Voting is a right Editorial – More and more of those colourful election signs continue to dot the landscape throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and serve as a constant reminder that yes, another provincial election is upon us.

Elections are arguably one of the most exciting times for a newspaper. There are candidates to profile and meetings to attend, all with the goal of providing the public with the information to make a more informed decision on Thursday, June 12.

The right to vote is one that we should all take very seriously. It’s our way to make change happen and try to make a difference. However, that number has steadily been on the decline since 1990. According to Elections Ontario, voter turnout in the last provincial election in 2011 stood at just 48.2 per cent, compared to 2007’s figure of 52.1 per cent. Back in 1995, 63 per cent of eligible voters cast their ballots.

Why is that? Is it the aging population who doesn’t believe their vote matters, or perhaps the younger generation, who have just earned the right to vote, isn’t engaged enough with provincial politics? If it’s the latter, the problem is surely to get worse and voter turnout will continue to decline.

With the Internet and social media, information is more readily available than ever before so there’s no excuse for young people to be complacent about politics, whether it be federal, provincial or municipal. Those who choose not to vote, shouldn’t be able to complain about the outcome afterwards either.

We are all given an amazing gift in our ability to vote, let’s make sure that on June 12, we use it.

The minister was a bit like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Lifestyle – The minister, I thought, was like two different people. I had an unbelievable fear of him when he was in church delivering what seemed to be an endless sermon with words that were completely above my head.

I had no idea what he was talking about, and when we left the service to go to our Sunday school class, I lived in dread that the Sunday school teacher would ask me what I had learned that day from the sermon. Thankfully she was high on the Beatitudes and the Psalms, and that was usually what our lesson was about.

The minister was a whale of a man, and when he walked down the middle of the church to get to the pulpit, his shoes squeaked like fury, which Emerson said meant they hadn’t been paid for. How he knew that bit of information was beyond me.

By the time the minister had climbed into the pulpit which was a round carved wood affair high above the pews, he was panting like he was going to take his last breath, and winter and summer, the sweat poured off his face in little rivulets.

He frowned a lot, and I always thought he was angry with the lot of us, or that he knew that some of us had committed

some horrible sin. And to emphasize a point, he pounded the rail of the pulpit with his bible that I was sure would one day fly out of his hand and hit me square on the head since we sat in the front pew, a few feet away.

His wife, whom Mother said was a saint...a pure saint, sat ramrod straight, looking neither left nor right.

Through perfect planning, Sunday school always ended at the exact time the last hymn was being sung in the church. Then we children marched back into the church, standing at the door where we were expected to shake hands with the minister. This scared the living starch out of me, convinced that he could read my mind and he would know every evil thought I had ever had in my head about bad Marguirite, and know ever sin I had ever committed. I couldn’t wait to get in the buggy and get back home to the farm.

And often then, I would see another side to our minister. I wasn’t sure if it was part of his duties as our spiritual leader, or if he just liked a good meal occasionally, but we could always count on a pastoral visit at least once every two weeks when the summer weather came.

a buggy, and an old nag of a horse that was much like our poor old Harry with the heaves. You could have walked in our lane faster than the minister’s horse pulling the buggy!

And he always came at our dinnertime at the noon hour. Mother would pump his hand, welcome him in, and my sister Audrey, without even being asked, would scrunch up the plates on the table, and make room for another place.

Mother made no effort to tidy things up, or make the meal more fancy. We didn’t even get out the dishes that had come in puffed wheat. The only change was Mother sat between my sister Audrey and me, leaving the end of the table for the Minister. Father, of course, sat where he always did, at the other end.

And instead of Father saying Grace, the minister, on Mother’s invitation said News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Tiffany Lepack, Laura Armstrong DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-283-3182 ,ext. 138 CLASSIFIED/REGIONAL ROUNDUP 613-283-3182 Judy Michaelis x122 email: jmichaelis@theemc.ca Cheryl Code x133 email: cheryl.code@metroland.com Fax: 613-283-5909

the blessing, which was long and purposeful.

Then I would see an entirely different man from the one I saw in the Lutheran church on Sunday. He and Father told jokes, slapping the table with the palm of their hands, and all the time, he was amply lading his plate with seconds and even third helpings of everything before him, which pleased Mother beyond words.

Even a visitor the stature of the minister, didn’t stop Father from pouring out his tea into his saucer to cool it off, and then drinking it.

And as soon as the meal was over, Father got up from the table, minister or not, and headed back out to the fields.

Always, I knew what was going to happen next. Audrey would be sent to the smoke house and the chicken coop.

She would come back with a roast and a link or two of sausages, and a small basket of fresh eggs. Everett would, without asking, have cornered a fowl, pushed it squawking into a grain sack, and everything would be put in the minister’s buggy.

The minister would pump Mother’s hand, ruffle my hair, tell Audrey again how she was growing into a fine young ADVERTISING 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

woman, and my three brothers that he would see them in church, and then with great effort he would climb into the buggy, and the old horse without any direction from his owner, would turn in the yard and head out the lane.

Audrey and I would help Mother redd up the kitchen and she would tell us how poor the minister was, and how little he was paid, and that often he and his wife didn’t have enough money to buy food, and how they would rely on the generosity of the members of the Lutheran church to survive. I knew the Depression was all around us, but I didn’t know anyone out in the country who didn’t have enough food for their table.

I would watch the buggy disappear into the farthest reaches of the lane, and I would think again how the minister was like two different people. The stern, nononsense man in the pulpit on a Sunday, and then there was the man who could laugh and mingle with the common folk around a kitchen table.

Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studio Theatre held a Crazy Dinner fundraiser May 10 where diners ordered from a mystery menu. Above, some of the dozens of volunteers who helped make the dinner a huge success.

Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crazy Dinner a wild success Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Was it crazy to think that people would support a community theatre fundraiser called a Crazy Dinner?

Sure, crazy like a fox...

Every single ticket was sold for the Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crazy Dinner on May 10, thanks to tremendous organization, enthusiastic volunteers, and a town that simply loves its community theatre.

The concept for the meal was hard to resist: diners ordered from a tantalizing mystery menu that kept them guessing, but always led to something delicious â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Caesar salad, gazpacho soup, salisbury steak, salmon, chicken, vegetarian lasagna, and four different delectable desserts.

Entertainment was provided by the cast of the theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming Little Women, The Musical,

directed by C. Lee Bates. Songs included â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here Aloneâ&#x20AC;? (sung

by Julie Kevan), â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could You?â&#x20AC;?

(Barb Guthrie, Courtney Mason), â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five Foreverâ&#x20AC;? (Courtney Mason, Kyle Booth, Lindsay Rewi, Mary Hills, Emma Houlahan) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;More Than I Amâ&#x20AC;?

(Justin Hills, Mary Hills).

There were also plenty of raffle items and door prizes, generously donated by local businesses, including a deluxe gas barbecue from Home Hardware, dinner for two from the Stone Cellar, a beautiful Gift basket from Julia Egener, an original Simon Koo Painting from Ute von Schall, and a restored Remembrance clock from Garnet Carswell. The food was subsidized by a generous donation from Barnabeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Your Independent Grocer.

Jean and Derek Cooke, the driving force behind the evening, have hosted Crazy Dinners many times before, but this was their biggest event ever â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dinner for 120! Obviously a lot of organization and creativity went into the planning, along with a dedicated team of servers and kitchen staff. When the last dessert had been enjoyed and the final prize awarded, more than $5,000 had been raised for the great work of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community theatre.

So a huge thank you goes out to everyone who attended, donated prizes, and worked so hard to make this event the crazy success that it was. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to see what next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraiser will be!

Part One of a Four-Part Series

Fundraising key for local hospices to aid families of palliative patients

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Inside Ottawa Valley, comprised of The Carleton Place-Almonte Canadian Gazette, The Kemptville Advance, The Perth Courier and The Smiths Falls Record News, takes a look at palliative care services offered in Lanark Leeds and Grenville. Over the next four weeks, we’ll examine aspects of palliative care, like funding, caregivers’ roles, and helping loved ones through their final stages of life. This first installment talks about the palliative care services that are available.

News – National Hospice Palliative Care Week may have kicked off the month of May with a variety of fundraisers, but money is needed all year long, not just during the spring.

These fundraisers are an important part of palliative care services, because without the support of the communities, there would be limited services available to patients and their families as they live out their final days with dignity.

Palliative or end-of-life services in Canada have traditionally been provided at home until the care becomes so complicated or overwhelming that admission to hospital is required.

“During the course of illness it is not unusual for a person to seek treatment in emergency rooms and/or to be admitted to hospital a number of times until they reach a point when they cannot be released due to the severity of illness or inability of their family to care for them at home,” said Doug Burt, member of the Community Home Support Lanark County board of directors.

While some Canadians die at home, the majority of them spend their last days in hospital. This results in a great deal of stress for patients and families as well as unnecessary use of costly hospital beds for people who could be better managed at home or in a hospice.

Smiths Falls, Perth and parts of Almonte/Carleton Place are located in the South East Local Health Integration Network (SELHIN) one of 14 LHINs in Ontario. SELHIN covers a huge

area from Prince Edward County in the South to the Hastings Highlands in the North and East to Edwardsburgh, Innisville, Montague, etc. Interestingly, Lanark County is split between SELHIN and Champlain LHIN which covers other parts of Carleton Place, Almonte and Kemptville and necessitates special arrangements between the two LHINs for some services.

Within the communities and counties of SELHIN and Champlain LHIN, the need for palliative and other support services has long been understood.

Consequently, communities acted to establish a variety of services. Some of these have been recognized and funded to some extent by the LHINs. Municipalities and county councils have provided funds for some services as well. Within the Perth and Smiths Falls corner of SELHIN, Community Home Support, Lanark County (CHSLC) provides a number of services including three palliative care services: the Volunteer Hospice Visiting Service, the Day Hospice and Bereavement Services.

Interlocking concrete is also a great choice for our harsh Canadian winters. The paver units’ joints help absorb any sort of frost-related movement, meaning that it is freeze and thaw resistant.

With interlocking concrete, worrying about pavement damage is a thing of the past, and that’s particularly great considering how aesthetically pleasing interlocking concrete can be.

With some variations in the LHIN funding, this is the case for all hospice services across SELHIN and generally for all Ontario hospice services.

While these programs are only partly funded by SELHIN it must be noted that SELHIN provides substantial funding to the Community Care Access Centres (CCAC) to provide nursing and personal support worker (PSW) support to clients in their homes as well as some equipment and medical supplies.

These services combined with the hospice services provided by volunteers are intended to help clients remain at home and out of hospital as long as possible. The vast majority of palliative clients express the wish to be able to stay at home and to die surrounded by their loved ones.

Over the past years many communities have looked at the role residential hospices play in some countries, for example in the United Kingdom where there is a longstanding tradition of

Inc.

It’s one of the most economical pavement options out there, especially when it comes to long-term care. That’s partly because interlocking pavement is low maintenance.

That ease is something you can appreciate right from day one as interlocking concrete can be used immediately after it is installed. It is also reusable, too, which is great if you have to remove it to fix a pavement problem or to install utilities.

With interlocking concrete, you can simply remove the pavement and reinstall it when the work is completed.

There are nine community hospice organizations across SELHIN. These hospice organizations have been achieving positive results by providing essential assistance to people with life-limiting and palliative diagnoses and to their families.

These services include trained hospice volunteers who go to homes to provide respite opportunities for caregivers, usually a family member.

The day hospices are places where clients can go to share their experiences with others having similar challenges.

Day programs provide fun activities as well as invaluable psychosocial support to the clients and their families. Some clients say these programs provide them with an opportunity to forget they are sick. Most hospice services also provide bereavement services.

Approximately 45 per cent of the cost of the palliative care programs provided

by CHSLC is funded by SELHIN, the rest comes from the generosity of the community which recognizes the importance of these services.

Hub establishes hospice

Funding infusion Community – Tay River Reflections in Perth hosted a fashion show for Lanark County’s hospice palliative care services’ home support program last month. The $2,000 donation will help with general expenses, said Christa Dales Donnelly, representative of the hospice services. She is flanked by Patti Boyd, operations manager at the Tay River Train ‘N Transform (gym) and Dr. Manuela Joannou, owner of the spa and gym. Tay River Reflections is looking to host a similar annual event as a palliative care fundraiser.

HOSPICE From page 18

residential hospices for patients in their final weeks or days rather than admitting these patients to costly hospital beds.

Across Canada there are many communities that have decided the needs of their loved ones are best met by community-based residential hospices once care at home is no longer feasible.

There are some successful residential hospices, usually in larger towns and cities where there is a large base of citizens. However, Canada is made up of many small rural communities where it is difficult to find the funds to build and maintain residential hospices.

Residential hospices are generally not funded and must depend entirely on fundraising.

For the past several years, hospice organizations have held many meetings among themselves and with their respective LHIN to make a case for the

funding of residential hospice beds.

“A major stumbling block is the inability of small rural communities to demonstrate that a two or three-bed hospice is cost effective,” said Burt.

Thus few communities have been brave enough to attempt to raise the funds to establish a residence and then to go to their communities every year to fundraise the approximately $150,000 required to keep going. One or two have accepted this challenge.

Pilot Hospice A bright spot was the agreement of SELHIN to approve a pilot project in Picton where Hospice Prince Edward opened a two-bed facility in August 2013. The intention is to evaluate the hospice after a year or so to determine the extent to which its existence contributes to a reduction in the occupancy of hospital palliative care beds.

“There is no doubt that patients and

clients who have experienced the support provided in a family-centred residential hospice achieve a level of psychosocial wellbeing few can experience in a busy hospital,” Burt said.

Should the experience of Hospice Prince Edward produce positive results for small residential hospices then other communities and the SELHIN may be able to explore establishing other hospices.

Regardless of the funding level for hospice palliative care services the programs would not be possible without the dedication and loyalty to clients provided by volunteers. They make these programs possible and deserve our support.

Our next article will talk about the role and importance of volunteers and will touch on their training and the safeguards in place to avoid caregiver burnout.

News – The Hub Hospice Palliative Care in Almonte is quickly gaining ground towards its goal of becoming part of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN).

The concept for the registered charity began back in February 2012, when Almonte Community Coordinators (The Hub) began envisioning a palliative care volunteer visitor service, to meet the needs of residents from Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills to Renfrew.

“People are dying at home all the time and it’s a gap in our health care system in our area,” said the Hub Hospice’s Glenda Jones. “From Mississippi Mills to Renfrew, there is no good network in home care – nothing.”

The project began with a group of volunteers and has grown to include a dedicated board of directors: chair Christine Bois; vice-chair Shirley Deugo; secretary Glenda Jones; treasurer Gary Pollock; and directors Jane Henderson, Eloise Caverson, Brenda Hurrle, Diane James, Pat Martin, Helen McIntosh and Peggy McPhail. They began offering their services in September 2013 and hired Allison Griffith, RN, as co-ordinator of volunteer services. She will be responsible for co-ordinating efforts of trained hospice volunteers and ensuring they are directed where they are needed.

Currently, the Hub Hospice offers support to those living in their own homes, a long-term care facility or retirement home through emotional and

spiritual areas (trained volunteers listen and provide encouragement and companionship to clients and caregivers); and also direct aid to caregivers, to allow them to take a much-needed break.

Public education opportunities are also available and there are plans to develop grief and bereavement services, including access to resources, referrals to community services and peer support, in the future.

Its vision statement states that the service will “collaborate in the co-ordination of palliative care services in the Mississippi Mills and North Lanark area. The location of direct client services will include those settings which are considered as home by the client.

Future consideration will be given to the establishment of a free-standing hospice and to bereavement support services.”

The Hub Hospice is becoming more visible in the communities in which they serve as well, holding a number of fundraisers, including participation in the national Hike for Hospice for Palliative Care each year.

Beth Donovan Hospice offers support with variety of programs

Submitted photo

Dignity, compassion and care

The Beth Donovan Hospice received its level 2 accreditation certificate from HPCO. From left: Laura Smith, volunteer and client services; Dawn Rodger, executive director; and Anne Langlois financial services.

The Champlain LHIN is one of 14 not-for-profit corporations that works with local health providers and community members to determine the health service priorities of our regions.

As LHINs, they plan, integrate and fund local health services, including: hospitals, community care access centres, community support services, long-term care, mental health and addictions services and community health centres.

Beth Donovan Hospice is in a position of mature growth undertaking an expansion of its current hospice community programs by adding critical resources to directly serve clients and their families. This enhancement includes the long awaited day hospice program, and the much needed expansion of grief and bereavement counselling services. Both services are provided without cost to the client.

Fundraising continues to be an important part of day-to-day activities of the hospice. Striving to be creative and innovative with its events, the Beth Donovan Hospice concentrates on four experiences: Bowl a thon, Chillin’ n’ Grillin, Hike for Hospice and the Fall Extravaganza.

The partnership with the Kempt-

ville District Hospital went a long way towards helping the BDH support its growth.

“It provided us with an opportunity to work more closely with hospital front line staff,” said Rodger.

Along the way the BDH used partnership experience to develop its business plan for a residential hospice and to firm up the referral process.

“We are grateful to the Kemptville District Hospital for their invaluable support,” said Rodger.

The day hospice program started May 1, 2014. The program will run for one day each week in the lower level of St. John’s United Church in Kemptville. The day includes a light lunch, activities, therapeutic treatments on a rotational basis, and a time that encourages socialization and sharing in a safe environment to be with like individuals while providing much needed respite for the family.

The grief and bereavement counselling services provided through the hospice two days each week is conducted by a professional counsellor with experience in grief/bereavement and post-traumatic stress disorder. The increase in hours within the community service is expected to return imme-

The late Dr. Larry Librach, who died last year of pancreatic cancer, a champion of palliative care, sums up nicely what the hospice is committed to, “People want to be at home, to have

a choice in the setting where they’re going to die. They want to have some independence around decision making,” he said.

“And I think we want to be free of pain and symptoms as much as possible.”

News – Often a community is measured by its infrastructure of healthcare and resources. North Grenville is a vibrant rural community that is resource rich when it comes to community. There is a community mindedness here that is above all, along with many valuable community support organizations, including the Beth Donovan Hospice (BDH).

BDH is just one of many rural hospices located in Ontario committed to providing quality care while enhancing comfort, dignity, choice and quality of life to their clients. Hospice is referred to as a philosophy of care that attends to the emotional and spiritual needs of an individual as well as the palliative side of pain and symptom management that is managed through a clinical team.

For more than 22 years the BDH has been going strong, most recently serving 146 families in fiscal year 2013/14, building on the achievements of previous years. “It is interesting to reflect on how the hospice has matured over the last five years always striving to be a valuable contributor to creating a world that works for everyone,” said Dawn Rodger, executive director.

“We work to move beyond the understanding of our services primarily being related to death or dying. The emphasis is on life, not death.”

Over the years the hospice has operated on minimal base provincial funding through the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). In the past, increases were approximately 1.5 to 2 per cent annually which proved to be a challenge for the hospice with the increase in need for services which wasn’t reflective of the demand. In the fall of 2013, a collaborative funding proposal including Beth Donovan Hospice, Kemptville District Hospital, and the Champlain Community Care Access Centre, (CCAC), resulted in an increase in base funding from approximately $96,000 to $235,000 as the province recognized the need for additional assistance for community support organizations, putting more hands on care back into community.

The funds to help make the work at Beth Donovan Hospice possible originate primarily from the Champlain LHIN and generous community donations.

The LHIN is a health delivery organization created in 2006 by the Ontario government.

diate benefits to clients with post-traumatic stress and other psychological and physical illnesses related to the suffering and death of a loved one. The hospice will also be conducting specialty grief groups in the future, such as loss of a loved one due to suicide, loss of a child, loss of spouse and loss of sibling.

Beth Donovan Hospice also provides home visits, operates an equipment lending program, respite, as well as outreach education sessions for workplaces to assist employers in supporting critical front line staff in the prevention of compassion fatigue, or to support those who are grieving the death of a staff member.

BDH has been providing physical, spiritual and psychosocial supports to clients with terminal and life limiting illnesses within the North Grenville and surrounding rural areas including Manotick, North Gower, Merrickville, and Spencerville and surrounding rural areas.

The hospice works co-operatively with primary care physicians, community hospitals, community nursing agencies, long-term care homes to complement its existing palliative care services and provide the best client care. All this while it makes every effort to incorporate the most effective, efficient and economic ways of supporting volunteers to deliver high quality and cost effective services of demonstrable value to the community.

Beckwith Township budget includes historic road project

By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

News – The tax rate in Beckwith Township will go up in 2014 but just less than inflation and will help fund a major road project.

The total tax bill will be going up by 1.5 per cent, which is an increase from last year equivalent to $12 per $100,000 of assessment. The budget was discussed during a public budget meeting May 13.

“I think 1.5 per cent is less than inflation and to be able to do the major projects that we are doing is something council is quite proud of,” said Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd.

The total expenditures of the township for 2014 are $8.8 million, total revenues are $5.8 million, the total 2014 municipal levy will be $2.9 million and it will have almost $3 million in reserves.

The most significant project of the year will be the reconstruction of the 9th Line, which will cost $2.2 million, partially covered by a provincial and federal grant.

Darwin Nolan, left, was recognized by Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd on May 13 for his 11 years of service as the public works supervisor. Nolan has accepted the position of operations manager of Lanark County as of June 2. Dave Parno, who has been a foreman with the township since 2004, will be taking over the position.

“It’s the biggest road project in Beckwith Township history,” said Kidd. “It’s a major project, the 9th Line has been re-built over the last 30 years at different times but it has never been done in one piece because they could never afford it, they had to do little pieces at a time and with this grant money we are financially able to do from Blacks Corners to Ashton. It’s the main road that people come on to, it’s in front of our park, our fire station, the township office, the school, and it’s as close to a main street that you are going to get in Beckwith.”

Other major projects include replacing the front siding of the fire hall that will cost a total of $19,000 with $9,000 coming from reserves and $10,000 paid by the tax levy.

Under recreation, the township will be doing some general upgrades to the Beckwith Recreation Complex including: rubber flooring in the lobby/ washrooms, asphalt/lights in the parking lot, a sprinkler system, two wagons for the turf floor, accessibility improvements and power backups for a total cost of: $194,994.

There will also be two new trails from Balmoral Drive to Timber Run and Cemetery Side Road to Ashton Road costing $105,000.

The budget is based on assessment of residential properties in the township, which on average has increased by 5.54 per cent. The assessments are set by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, which are set for a four-year term and are phased in. In Beckwith, the average property value changed by $22,160 or $5,540 each year.

Based on the assessments, taxation will either increase or decrease in proportion to a resident’s assessment change, therefore the 2014 local residential tax rates will by 3.6 per cent over the 2013 residential tax rate.

The final tax bill installments are due Wednesday, June 25 and Wednesday, Sept. 24 and the municipal office will be open Saturday, June 21 and Saturday, Sept. 20 from 9 a.m. to noon to receive tax payments.

The entire budget presentation can be found online at: www.twp.beckwith.on.ca.

O’Connor’s office confirms won’t run in next federal election

By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Gordon O’Connor’s office has made it official as of the morning of May 20. He will not run in the next federal election.

Constituency manager John Aris confirmed with the Canadian Gazette rumours that have circulated for months now. O’Connor, member of parliament for Carleton-Mis-

sissippi Mills since 2004, will step aside ahead of the 2015 federal election.

“Mr. O’Connor will not run in the next election,” Aris said. “He’s decided it’s time.

It’s nothing to do with anything else except that he’s decided it’s time.”

O’Connor, 75, is out of town and unavailable for comment. Area media are reporting that Conservative Senator Vern White and others

Team

would vie for the nomination should O’Connor step down.

Aris said he couldn’t speak to the speculation, other than to say the riding association will begin the process when it is ready.

O’Connor served as a cabinet minister from 2006 until his demotion in July 2013.

The retired brigadier-general went from defence critic to defence minister when Stephen Harper’s Conservatives

took power eight years ago.

It was fraught with controversy from the start. The party swept to power on ethics and accountability promises, including one to crackdown on lobbying. (O’Connor was a defence industry lobbyist before joining elected politics.)

Potential conflict-of-interest problems sprouted almost immediately.

Then, in May 2006, O’Connor announced certain

lightly-armoured vehicles would be restricted to on-base operations after a number of Canadian soldiers were killed in them. Months later it was revealed that no such order was ever given, and the controversial vehicles were still being used in combat operations.

Another controversy involved reports of Canadian troops torturing Afghan prisoners and a subsequent at-

tempt to cover it up.

Various government ministers, including Harper, gave apparently conflicting testimony on the existence and nature of the agreement with Afghan forces to supervise detainees.

Other controversies marked his tenure.

O’Connor was shuffled from defence to national revenue in 2007. He has been out of cabinet since 2008.

Franktown Lilac Festival returns Saturday

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

R0012704842

Community – The Lilac Festival is an annual community event held in Franktown, the Lilac Capital of Ontario.

The 2014 festival takes place on Saturday, May 24 at Centennial Hall.

“The community association in Franktown started the festival in the 1990s,” Beckwith reeve Richard Kidd explained, “however, it became a fairly big event over the next decade and the association became overwhelmed.”

In 2004, following a hiatus, Beckwith revived the festival, running it as one of its events.

“We brought in community groups that serve people of different ages, as well as the churches,” Kidd said. “We would organize it and they could do their thing.”

The festival goes rain or shine, and what makes a sweet event even sweeter, it’s free, with the exception of food and beverages.

“It’s a nice way to spend the day,” Kidd said, “and there is something for everyone in the family to enjoy.”

The jam-packed day begins with breakfast at 8 a.m., hosted by Beckwith Irish Minor Football. Festival goers can enjoy pancakes, eggs, sausages, coffee, tea and juice until 10:30 a.m. at Centennial Hall. The cost for adults is $7 and children 12 and under pay $4.

Registration is between 10:15 and

10:30 a.m. at St. James Anglican Church for the popular Children’s Bike Parade.

“Participants come with their bikes decorated, and the theme is spring,” Kidd said. “Last year we had 20 children take part.”

Prizes are handed out for the best use of theme and the best use of colour. There are two age groups: two to five and six to 10. Judging begins at 10:45 when the parade departs the church. It finishes at Centennial Hall.

Once again, St. Paul’s United Church hosts its Lilac Lunch & Bake Sale, running 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The barbecue grill fires up outside Centennial Hall at 11 a.m., serving up hamburgers and hot dogs until 2 p.m. to hungry visitors.

Between 12 and 3:30 p.m. visitors are invited to sit back, relax and enjoy the true beauty and sweet smell of lilacs with a horse drawn wagon ride down popular Lilac Lane.

“Along the way riders learn hear about the history of Franktown,” Kidd said.

A ham and bean supper will be served at Centennial Hall, running from 4 to 7 p.m. Scalloped potatoes, coleslaw, pasta salad, rolls and homemade pies complete the menu.

The cost for adults is $12 and children 12 and under pay $6.

“With breakfast, lunch and dinner served, this really is a celebration of food too,” Kidd said.

Offering up live entertainment outside Centennial Hall on Saturday:

Braeside Home Furnishings www.braesidehomefurnishings.com HOURS: Mon - Fri 9am-5:30pm • Saturdays 9am-3pm Sundays and After Hours By Appointment.

FREE DELIVERY! All Over the Ottawa Valley

Little Ray’s Reptile Show (11 a.m.) and the Valley Rovers (1 to 5 p.m.)

People are reminded to bring a lawn chair.

“We also have Brendan McMunn and Alex Vala performing,” Kidd said.

McMunn is the grandson of the late performer Ron McMunn, the Silver Fox, who was well known across the region and inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 1986.

Vala is the winner of 2013’s My Town’s Got Talent competition.

Taking place throughout the day: children’s games and activities, 50/50 draw, silent auction, craft market, garage sales (all over town), restored antique vehicle display and more.

“We have 20-plus crafters taking part,” Kidd said.

Lilacs are typically a shade of purple, but white, pink, light yellow and even dark burgundy exist. The bushes have an enchanting fragrance.

However, will they be blooming on Saturday?

“It’s one of those events where you want the date to be consistent,” Kidd said, “and it’s hard to hit the lilacs at their prime.”

St. James Anglican Church and Centennial Hall are located on Church Street, and St. Paul’s United Church is situated along Highway 15.

For additional information, call the municipal office at 613-257-1539 or Cora Nolan at 613-283-3789, or visit www.twp.beckwith.on.ca.

Community – The summer exhibit of the Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society’s – Memories of An Innocent Summer officially opened May 17. It runs until Aug. 31. The exhibit contains fashion, photographs, objects and memories of local people from the summer of 1914, which saw the start of the First World War.

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Change is occurring at Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lately thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot of trucks on the street,â&#x20AC;? chief executive officer (CEO) Toni Surko told the Canadian Gazette, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we wanted to let people know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening.â&#x20AC;?

A new modular unit (24 feet by 40 feet) arrived on site last Wednesday, May 14, allowing the hospital to create much needed physical space inside â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the clinical area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to be providing a new service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pulmonary function test, which is a diagnostic tool that looks at lung health,â&#x20AC;?

Surko explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and before this we had to send patients to Ottawa or surrounding areas to have the test.â&#x20AC;?

In addition, surgeons coming to CPDMH require more clinic time.

Surko noted the telemedicine initiative has grown from 500 to 1,500 events, â&#x20AC;&#x153;requiring an extra two rooms to run the program.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, our foot chiropody program has grown,â&#x20AC;? she continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to meet demand from a space point of view.â&#x20AC;?

Surko said.

Owing to the change, there will be a separate waiting room for surgical patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal was really to gain more space,â&#x20AC;? Surko said.

Now located on the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest level, the offices of senior management â&#x20AC;&#x201C; CEO, chief financial officer and chief nursing officer, as well as administrative assistants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will move to the new modular unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our department managers, currently situated where the new clinic rooms will go, will move down here,â&#x20AC;? Surko explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kept them in the building because they are front line to

patient safety â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their vigilance, their accessibility.â&#x20AC;?

The CEO calls her move temporary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are giving it two years and then we will re-examine things,â&#x20AC;? Surko said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may be able to create more space inside the hospital.â&#x20AC;?

Right now, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is our starting place,â&#x20AC;? she continued.

The new modular unit will have the same security and fire alarm systems as the hospital building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be guarded, and we will be able to hear pages, etc.,â&#x20AC;?

Surko said.

The unit will be completed in two or three weeks. There is

NDP selects Kanata tech engineer as Carleton-Mississippi Mills candidate

By DEREK DUNN

time.”

Hansen doesn’t fit the stereotypical model of a New Democrat. He claims to not know what a socialist is – other than people should be able to get to work without paying a toll, kids should have good schools, internet services should be reasonably priced, and affordable utilities like water and electricity should be kept in public hands. But he admits government is not always the answer – “Look at the Presto Card; that is what high tech should do” – and that private sector jobs should be priority number one.

However, corporate tax cuts haven’t worked as planned. Companies are banking the money rather than spending to fuel the economy. He wants that money spent.

“As an investor, I say a good company uses money to make money, not put it in the bank.”

But the memory of Bob Rae and the NDP in power during a four-year stint in the 1990s looms large. Many vowed never to let them back in power.

“Look, the Liberals are the ultimate tax-and-spenders. NDP governments across the country have balanced more budgets and eliminated more debts than

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – The day after John Hansen became NDP candidate last week he wasn’t sure if a provincial election would occur within weeks or years. It didn’t matter to him either way.

“There are 87,000 voters in the riding and it’ll take a while to talk to them all,” said Hansen, following the CarletonMississippi Mills NDP campaign launch on April 29.

“I’m going to be asking to be the voice for this community. And I promise two things in exchange: one is that I’ll work hard, that is not a problem; and second is that I will hold regular town hall meetings when elected.”

Now retired, Hansen said his experience in high tech taught him that collaboration and learning from others is crucial to composing the best solution.

Those lessons will see him past the usual Liberal and Progressive Conservatives MPPs who promise transparency until they get in government, he said.

He cited the light rail train (LRT) project as typical.

John Hansen MPP Jack MacLaren appears to have little interest in or knowledge of the plan, Hansen indicated.

“I can’t speak for Jack, but I would drill down on those numbers. Why is it not coming here?” he said.

Community garage sale for Light Up The Night set for May 24

By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – It’s almost time for Almonte residents to Light Up The Night (LUTN) but first it is time for the annual garage sale to support the local winter tradition.

This year the sale is set for May 24 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Levi Home Hardware Building Centre Parking Lot, located at 476 Ottawa St., Almonte.

“LUTN is an amazing community event for people of all ages and we hope the garage

sale has something for everyone too. It will be a really busy event with good music and a barbecue,” said LUTN committee chair Nancy Fulton.

“We have a wonderful community who has always supported us.”

During the event there will be plenty of fun things going on such as a bake sale by the Cedar Hill Zion United Church Sunday School, the Hy-Liner Line Dancers will be performing and the Almonte Civitan Club will be hosting a barbecue from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with all proceeds going to

the LUTN. Anyone who would like to participate in the garage sale by selling items can rent a table for $20 by calling the Town of Mississippi Mills at 613-256-1077.

Tables can be booked up until May 23.

Residents can also donate items on the day of the sale from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and all proceeds from those items will go to LUTN. The LUTN committee has started to work on the 24th annual event, which is set for Friday, Dec. 5.

any other party,” Hansen said.

The scandal-plagued party in power for 10 years isn’t causing an exodus of poll respondents to the “rightwing Tim Hudak Conservatives with his local hardliners Jack MacLaren and Randy Hillier” he said in a press release.

Kanata resident Hansen moved to Kanata 35 years ago. He is quick to talk about challenges facing his community, even down to not enough bus stops on Terry Fox Drive south of Hazeldean Road.

That contrasts with MacLaren, who lives in rural West Carleton and focuses his interest on property rights issues largely of concern to the group he once led: Ontario Landowners Association.

Hansen said the contrast was made plain during a meeting with about 20 unemployed engineers at the local Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) hosted meeting at the Kanata United Church on March 11. He said MacLaren told the engineers they should look for work in mining.

“I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Is MacLaren’s economic action plan to have our workforce either move to Northern Ontario or split up couples and

Hansen said MacLaren and those MPPs in other two parties have no “practical ideas” to create jobs, which is part of the reason polls usually rank the NDP’s Andrea Horwath as the most popular leader.

“As the recently nominated Ontario New Democrat candidate, I am looking forward to bringing new ideas to the job agenda forward,” Hansen said.

“Kanata can do much better than the Jack MacLaren-Randy Hillier-Hudak Conservatives or the Wynne-McGuinty Liberals.”

families for most of the year?” he said.

“Worse, northerners will tell you both of those industries remain stalled, with the promising Ring of Fire mega mining project stalled years in the politics of the Liberals in Ontario and Conservatives in Ottawa not willing to work together.”

MacLaren also suggested schools need to produce more trades people, he said.

“A quick scan of our local media ads confirms that they would join a long line up of people trying to find odd jobs. I’m not sure how generating more trades people would be of benefit in revitalizing our knowledge industry.”

Columnist catches glimpse of elusive bird sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never seen Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 3, I left for an eightday trip to Point Pelee National Park in Leamington, Ontario. Most of the birds seen in the park had survived their long migration north, and were feeding and resting on the ground or in the trees.

Walking the east beach towards the tip of Point Pelee, several Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warblers were easily seen in low bushes, with Palm Warblers close by.

Also at the tip, at the train platform, a Black-throated Blue Warbler male foraged around the base of a tree. He was a beautiful little bird.

Everywhere one went Yellow Warblers and Common Grackles were there, too. Just outside the park, in a cornfield, I saw a lifer, a bird Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never seen before â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Longspur, female, a western bird. How it arrived in the Pelee area is uncertain. North of Wheatley, again in farm fields, were a group of Lapland Longspurs, males in breeding plumage.

They were a great sight to see.

I saw my first of the year Ruby-

Strictly for the Birds LYNDA C. BENNETT

throated Hummingbird May 6, one to two days before they were seen in our local area. Dorothy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, Carleton Place area, spotted one May 7; Peggy Stewart, Beckwith Township, May 8, had three visit. Barry Parks saw two on May 8, then four on May 9, and Margaret Munro had one, May 9. The latter ones are in Mississippi Mills. Ray Holland, Pakenham, had Hummingbirds at his feeders May 8 and 9 as well.

In Mississippi Mills, Terry Kotjila had a male Hummingbird, four Rosebreasted Grosbeaks, a Northern Flicker, a Belted Kingfisher, and White-throated

Sparrow all on May 8. Lillian Mohr has 12 White-crowned Sparrows, a pair of Dark-eyed Juncos, and a few Evening Grosbeaks still around. As well, her first Hummingbird arrived May 9.

At Hawkwood Farm, Ramsay Ward, Concession 1, Glennis and Jack had two male Hummingbirds May 9, while two days later, a male Indigo Bunting came to their property.

May 7, Joyce and Mike Jaques, Carleton Place, had their first of the year White-crowned Sparrow, and the latest ever Fox Sparrow in their garden.

The birding sub group of Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists conducted early morning bird walks during April, every Wednesday, from 6 to 8 a.m. On the first walk we tallied 27 species along the Riverside Trail in Carleton Place.

The next walk had 28 species, as we walked Lanark Highlands Concession 12, from Wolf Grove Road to Taylor Lake and back. By the third walk, we observed 30 species along the trails of

Al Potvinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Almonte property.

The final walk, at Mary and Howard Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property on Tatlock Road, Mississippi Mills, netted 25 species despite the cool drizzly weather.

Special species seen included a small flock of Rusty Blackbirds, Pine Warblers singing loud and clear, and watched a Common Raven chasing a Red-tailed Hawk. Best of all, Brown Thrashers sang well, and gave us good close views of their russet-coloured feathering. Of the nine common species on each walk, we enjoyed American Crows and Robins, Blue Jays, and Black-capped Chickadees. At first, we confused the Pine Warbler song with that of Chipping Sparrow, but Pine song is sweeter, more melodic, and shorter. The Chipper song is one note, dull-sounding, and longer.

On April 23, Georgina Doe and I decided to try to see the reported large flocks of Snow Geese east of Ottawa, before they headed north to breeding

territory. Just past Bourget, at Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Road, we parked by the barrier (due to flooding), and scanned the fields. What an amazing sight greeted us! The fields were a sea of white! There must have been more than 8,000 white-phase Snow Geese, including several bluephase ones as well. Georgina took pictures, one of which accompanies the column.

April 30, after the bird group left Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, Mary and Howard looked outside, and there was a Hermit Thrush, first one reported this spring.

The next day, in the woods around our house, another Hermit Thrush sang his ethereal song: a spring melody not to be missed.

May first, in Pakenham, as Ray Holland was gardening, two Sandhill Cranes flew by overhead, calling loudly.

Please call Lynda at 613-256-5013 or email bennett@magma.ca with bird reports.

EDITORIAL

Provocative ‘Slut Walk’ struts into controversy Editorial – Slut. Like many so-called four-letter words, it’s short, a single syllable, but so loaded.

So much hurt is tied up with it. No woman wants to be called that name. You’d never – or should never – call your mother, your wife or girlfriend, or daughter by that name.

And yet, it is the ultimate putdown-dujour in high school. Listen to any rap station for, say, an hour, and count how many times you hear it uttered. Even grown women use it to disparagingly run down what other women wear – even so-called frenemies (a horrible, unhealthy concept, and a topic for another day.)

But that is not to say that people are not getting the message, even if it takes something life-changing like the birth of your first child to do it.

Rapper Jay Z won applause for deciding

he would drop words like ‘slut’ and even the b-word from his lyrics in future songs, after the birth of his first child, a girl. Now, we can wonder why he didn’t choose to do this after he got married to Beyonce, but, at least he saw the light, eventually.

Closer to home, away from the rarified air of millionaire rappers, on Mill Street in Carleton Place, this fall, the slut word will again be uttered, but not as a slur. On the same night as the annual “Take Back the Night,” rally, so too will women be taking back the word for the county’s inaugural “Slut Walk.”

And yes, the name is designed to grab attention, and provoke debate.

Well, to the organizers, mission accomplished.

A bit of background: the first such walk was held in Toronto in spring of 2011, after a Toronto police officer was heard, at

provoke a conversation.

Back to the “Slut Walk.” One of the best ways to provoke anyone, male or female, is to tell them what to wear, or what not to wear. So it is not our place to tell these women to cover up – they are within the rights of the law to do this, whatever ideals of modesty wider society may have.

The point that should not be lost in the hype over the use of the word “slut” or the way women dress is that no woman asks to be sexually assaulted. If being drunk is not an excuse on either side as a defence in rape cases, then no woman is “asking for it,” when she shows a bit of skin. It is condescending to women, and also to men, painting them as brutes who cannot restrain themselves at the sight of a woman wearing very little.

A sexual predator intent on rape – which is more about power than sex, domination than lust – already has motive. He is merely looking for opportunity, whether she is dressed in a mini-skirt or fully covered from head-to-toe.

Let’s turn our rage on him, for an attack on one woman is an attack on all of the women we love, and not preach sanctimoniously about a woman who makes a wardrobe choice that evening, and paid a disproportionate price.

a community safety event at the Osgoode Hall law school at York University, to say that women would be advised not to dress like a “slut” to avoid being sexually assaulted.

The first walk drew women in intentionally provocative, tight, revealing, risqué clothing, leaving very little to the imagination.

And now it is coming here.

Well, we were warned. If you don’t want to possibly see men in drag or dresses that leave nothing to the imagination, you will know to avoid Mill Street on the evening of Sept. 26.

We are not sure how, or even if, the ‘Slut Walkers’ will be segregated from the comparatively run-of-the-mill protester taking back the night. And maybe that is part of the point.

We have seen other, similar, provocative moves done in the name of ending sexual violence of another kind right here in the county. For the past few years, the White Ribbon Campaign has, with the permission of the Town of Perth, erected a white anti-pornography banner across busy Foster Street. The organizers have told town council that they are aware that even having the word ‘porn’ in such high prominence, was provocative. Again, that was the point, to

COLUMN

Playing the name game Opinion – Everyone recognizes himself or herself by name, but do you have a name that people always get wrong?

My name is Tara, but I am constantly getting Terry, Kara, Sara, and even Trish. Once, at my niece Kathryn’s baptism, the deacon thought my name was Terrence. How is this possible?

For me, it’s become a game. More often than not I wait until they’ve said it wrong a couple of times, and then I say politely, “By the way, my name’s Tara.” They usually apologize, and then I say, “It’s okay, I don’t mind.”

Growing up in the 1970s and 1980s, I hated my name. No one was called Tara. Today, however, it’s extremely common. Apparently, it is estimated that there are at least 950,000 persons in the world having this name.

My mom always told me Tara was such a beautiful name, and it came from one of her favourite movies, Gone with the Wind, starring Clark Gable as Rhett Butler and Vivian Leigh as Scarlett O’Hara. It was the name of the O’Hara family’s plantation. Of course, this did not matter, and I constantly threatened to change my name as soon as I was old enough. I wanted to be called Emily.

In my mother and father’s defence, I have come to learn that naming one’s child is one of the most difficult, thought-provoking decisions

parents make. It is their first gift to their child, so they need to make it something speTara Firma cial.

Recently, I did a little bit of research on the Internet about my name, which is of Gaelic origin. Tara is: a sea goddess in Polynesian mythology, a family cat who saved a four-year-old boy from a dog attack, a village in Canada, a newspaper from the Republic of Moldova, an Irish record company, a high school in Baton Rouge (Louisiana), a nine-member South Korean girl music group, and a sword and sorcery heroine in DC Comics’ Warlord.

Further investigation revealed that an individual named Tara is described as wholesome and encouraging to others. Peaceful and settled conditions appeal to her. She may be harsh on the outside, but is soft inside. Procrastination is a weakness, causing an inability always to complete plans or to concentrate for long. Tara resists being forced into change.

This is all very interesting, right?

Getting back to the name game, if someone gets your name wrong, don’t take it personally.

Just remember to be polite and offer a suggestion they can fall back on if the name slips their mind again. Most likely it will.

Beckwith development charges approved

By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

News – New homes in Beckwith Township will be charged $5,000 in development charges (DC) starting June 1 and the charge will increase by $250 every year until 2018.

The previous DC amount was $4,500 and municipalities are required to update the bylaw every five years, Beckwith council approved the new bylaw on May 13.

“The taxpayers of Beckwith have built a great road system, a fantastic fire department, and a recreation facility that people in eastern Ontario envy,” said Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd. “I think it is only fair if you are moving into Beckwith that you should have to pay something towards those facilities that have been paid for by previous taxpayers because of those development charges it enables us to do capital projects without raising the taxes.”

DCs are collected to assist in financial capital projects required to meet the increased need for services resulting from new growth and devel-

opment and municipalities are required to establish a new DC bylaw every five years.

Howard Allan, charted accountant from Allan Charted Accounting Professional Corporation, presented highlights of the DC study to council and members in the gallery.

“I think it is fair that if someone is building a new home and they are coming to live in our community that they should make a contribution to the capital that has been has paid for in the past and that they can pay for the additional infrastructure that we are going to need in the future,” said Allan.

Allan noted that based on the study the maximum charge could have been close to $7,900.

“Council decided in its wisdom to select a number that was some what less than that,” said Allan. “That makes the township more than competitive with the City of Ottawa and an urban centre like our neighbour, Carleton Place.”

Kidd thinks it is important to stay competitive with other local municipalities.

“It’s to make sure we get our

share of the housing market,” said Kidd. “Most of houses being built in Beckwith over the last few years are $500,000 homes so $5,000 when you are paying for a half-million dollar home is not that much.”

Over the next five years, approximately half of the DCs will go to the road systems, approximately one quarter will go to recreation and the remaining quarter will go to fire protection, works equipment/ housing.

“If you look at where the monies are being spent, of the $5,000 approximately half the money is being spent on public works…it’s because we need money for roads, work equipment so we need to continually up grade those as our population increases,” said Allan, referring to the first year of the charges. “A big chunk of the money goes there, $1,200 of the money is going to recreation and there is a lot of use at the recreation facility so we are having to expand those as population increases.”

No OMB hearing regarding Katsoulis development tgesner@perfprint.ca

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Minutes of Settlement (MOS) for a matter involving the Town of Carleton Place and Thruway Restaurant are now public.

MOS are a formal record of a contract that settles a live matter before a court.

Background In July 2013, Carleton Place council carried a motion reinstating a condition relating to an application for development by restaurant owner Bill Katsoulis.

A 55,000 square foot project is proposed by Katsoulis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in proximity to his eatery on Highway 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which will be constructed in three phases. Phase one encompasses a McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant.

The condition in question required Katsoulis to extend sooner than later an existing natural drainage course on the site of his devel-

opment. He, however, maintained the creek would be dealt with, but only in phase three.

According to the town, Katsoulis was being required to extend the natural drainage course by June 2014, which allows for the future development of properties along Franktown Road, for the same reason Walmart was required to do it when they developed, and the same reason NU Globe Developments Ltd. will be required to extend it when it develops its neighbouring multimillion-dollar subdivision.

As a result, Katsoulis appealed the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), citing unlawfully reconsidering its decision to provide him with a development permit.

MOS Recently, the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solicitor (Vice & Hunter LLP) was directed to execute the MOS with the Thruway Restaurant and its law-

yer (Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP), thereby eliminating the need for an OMB hearing. In addition, town staff would continue to work with Katsoulis to resolve other outstanding issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just agreed on the definitions of the terms that were in place nine months ago,â&#x20AC;? chief administrative officer (CAO) Paul Knowles explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They agreed what the width would be, and the definition of easement.â&#x20AC;?

Katsoulis said the settlement was one â&#x20AC;&#x153;dealing only with the interpretation of an additional condition added by council after approval of the development permit.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It made clear that what council was seeking from the Katsoulis family was the right to put drainage and a recreational pathway on our lands, and not obligating the Katsoulis family to build it,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was our interpretation, and once we had agreement with the town that it was their in-

terpretation, there was no need to proceed to an Ontario Municipal Board hearing.â&#x20AC;?

Individuals looking for a copy of the MOS can contact Knowles at the town hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a public document, and if somebody wants it, all they need to do is request it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The CAO added the MOS is not on the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website because â&#x20AC;&#x153;it would not be standard practice for every development agreement that we became involved in to be published online.â&#x20AC;?

Katsoulis looks forward to working with town staff â&#x20AC;&#x153;to get our approvals in place.â&#x20AC;?

He noted it is hoped construction on phase one of his project would commence in late June or early July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would also like to say thank you to deputy mayor Ed Sonnenburg and councillors Louis Antonakos and Jerry Flynn for their support,â&#x20AC;? Katsoulis said.

Look of McLaren Street in Carleton Place remains the same

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public works department held its annual open house on April 6 for the 2014 construction program.

Amongst the approximate 50 attendees, the proposed McLaren Street project created the most buzz, with nearly all residents of the neighbourhood providing feedback.

McLaren Street, located off High Street, is a low volume road with a tree-lined boulevard. A sidewalk is located on the streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew that widening McLaren Street would be very intrusive, director Dave Young stated at the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical environment committee meeting May 6, which was chaired by Coun. Jerry Flynn.

Although the town has standards as far as street widths and sidwalks, attempts are often made to incorporate things that might be better received within the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We looked at McLaren Street and realized to put in a standard street width the trees would need to be removed along the boulevard, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which we felt would not be well received,â&#x20AC;? Young explained.

As a result the town modified the design to go with the existing, narrower platform width.

As well, Young said a fair bit of discussion took place in regards to the streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sidewalk, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;we looked at moving it to the east side, and this was presented at the open house.â&#x20AC;?

Although most residents appreciated the fact the town was trying to keep the thinner platform width, they saw some issues with moving the sidewalk over to the east side, which would take it away from the people who would get the most use out of it, and it would have some significant impact on the properties on the east side (parking in their driveway).

Revisiting the design, town staff feels the best interests of the majority of the neighbourhood will be

served by â&#x20AC;&#x153;keeping the platform the same width and keeping some of the sections of sidewalk that have been replaced within the last couple of years and simply replacing the sections that need to be replaced,â&#x20AC;? Young said.

The approach was welcomed by all but one resident, and the concern raised involved access to his or her property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a representative presenting their interests,â&#x20AC;? Young said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They hired a lawyer.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have offered to meet with them, and ensured access would be maintained to all properties, unrestricted without any alterations,â&#x20AC;? he continued.

Mayor Wendy LeBlanc moved the staff recommendation, which was seconded by Coun. Doug Black, that McLaren Street be reconstructed to the existing platform and the existing sidewalk be utilized and replace section where required.

Discussion Coun. Rob Probert said he would support the motion, and noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the street has been there for over 100 years and seems to function well.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked with some of the neighbours on the street and was left with the impression that the consensus is the staff recommendation,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Although one resident may not agree, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of an obvious benefit of drastically changing the neighbourhood,â&#x20AC;? Probert said.

Are those trees on town property, and do they impede on electrical infrastructure from time to time?â&#x20AC;?

Antonakos asked.

He said no one wants to see a tree come down, but wondered â&#x20AC;&#x153;should we not build the road to the standard we can?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hear from staff we like to keep our roads as wide as possible,â&#x20AC;? Antonakos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, there are lots of instances where we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be making this recommendation,â&#x20AC;? Young responded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we were looking at a street with a higher volume of traffic, for

example.â&#x20AC;?

In all fairness to the process, Antonakos said the initial design was to put the sidewalk on the other side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At what point did the sidewalk go back to the west side?â&#x20AC;? he asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We revisited the matter after receiving the comments from the open house,â&#x20AC;? Young said.

Ian Parker lives on McLaren Street, one the far end, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so the sidewalk doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect me.â&#x20AC;?

If the sidewalk was on the east side, he told council â&#x20AC;&#x153;it would service two of the nine houses on the street, and no one would use it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people with young children are on the other side, where the sidewalk is today,â&#x20AC;? Parker con-

tinued.

The current platform width and the existing location of the sidewalk are recommended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no difficulty moving up and down the street during spring, summer, fall or winter,â&#x20AC;?

Parker said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I have a vehicle with four-wheel drive, as does the neighbour in question.â&#x20AC;?

Another resident with two young children said her daughter walks by the streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trees each day and kisses them, and removing them would break her heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those trees bring character, history to the neighbourhood,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased with the current proposal right now.â&#x20AC;?

The staff recommendation was unanimously carried.

Tickets available for wine, food event in Carleton Place May 31 Community – Wine’d Around Downtown is back for a seventh year this month and organizers are urging interested people to purchase their tickets as soon as possible.

The wine and food tasting extravaganza takes place Saturday afternoon, May 31 from 1 to 5 p.m. The number of venues and locations for the venture has increased this year and the Carleton Place Sister City Committee, which sponsors the event, is expecting another good turnout.

“People really enjoy Wine’d Around Downtown. It is a great way for pubs, restaurants and caterers to impress regular participants and win new customers,” says Jeff Maguire, the chairman of the Sister City Committee. “Don’t be disappointed – buy your tickets early.”

The chairman says all proceeds from the day go to support the annual Student Exchange Program sponsored by the committee.

Four secondary students from Franklin, Tennessee (near Nashville) and their adult chaperone will be in Carleton Place at the time of Wine’d Around Downtown. The Carleton Place contingent travels to Franklin in late August to complete this year’s program. This marks the eighth year the exchange with Franklin has been held. The Middle Tennessee city and the eastern Ontario town have been formally twinned since January 2005.

Bridge Street and its environs will be turned into a sea of “hot fluorescent green” (the colour of this year’s event t-shirts) during the afternoon-long activity on May 31. The t-shirts double as tickets and the idea is for everyone to wear their shirt throughout the event.

As the play on words in the name

suggests, participants in Wine’d Around Downtown are encouraged to “wind” their way from one location to another in the downtown area.

The idea of the event is not to over imbibe, but rather to savour sample glasses of wine and enjoy appetizers in one or more of the locations taking part. All are within easy walking distance in the downtown area.

The popular activity has been further enhanced this year with new venues added and several other businesses choosing to take part.

This year’s Wine’s Around Downtown package, contained in a special town tote bag, includes a t-shirt, an event passport filled with related information along with a coupon for a free appetizer at one of the participating restaurants and pubs. Many other bonus materials are included in the ticket package.

Bridge Street; The Queen’s, 142 Bridge St.; Ballygiblin’s Restaurant and Pub, 151 Bridge St.; Bridge Café and Bistro, 155 Bridge St.; Dionysos Restaurant (featuring Greek Specialties), 156 Bridge St.; Slackoni’s (fine Italian dining) 35 Mill St. and the Waterfront Gastro Pub, at 12 Bell St. on the north bank of the Mississippi River.

Tickets, which cost $25 apiece, are available at the Carleton Place Town Hall reception desk (use the Mill St. entrance), the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Centre (former Daycare Station) at 132 Coleman St. as well as most of the participating venues.

During the event wine samples and appetizers will be available in all of the location for $3 apiece.

Eleven participants Besides seven participating restaurants and pubs, four other businesses from Carleton Place and area will also set up in the downtown area for the event.

Waterfall Catering will be located in Moore House, an historic downtown home opposite the Town Hall which is also home to the new Roy Brown Museum. Lake Park 1887 Lodge and Waterfront Grill will be in the Town Hall Square on Mill Street, behind the Town Hall building. Meanwhile Generations Inn and Fine Lakeside Dining will be operating in the municipal parking lot beside 92 Bridge Street. On the east side of the street the Beckwith Butcher will welcome customers.

The other participating venues are the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery, 20

“Don’t forget to have your passport signed at each location you visit,” Maguire adds. “You can then enter the draw for a pair of tickets (a $300 value) to the Sister City Committee’s eighth annual Gala Ball in September.” This year’s ball is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 27 in the Town Hall Auditorium.

Ballots for the draw should be dropped off at Ballygiblin’s Restaurant and Pub. General ticket sales for that event begin in early July!

The first phase of the eighth Franklin exchange will take place from May 28 to June 4. Every second year another exchange program is held involving the town’s original twinning partner, the picturesque village of Comrie in the Scottish Highlands. The third Scotland exchange is scheduled for 2015.

As an added note, organizers stress that Wine’d Around Downtown participants must either wear or carry their event T-shirt on May 31.

“The shirt is your ticket. You must have it on or with you in order to be served at the participating venues,” Maguire underlines.

He says in the past some people have taken part without actually buying tickets which is not permitted. Steps have been implemented to prevent that from occurring this year.

Presented by Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) and its auxiliary, CHF runs Saturday, May 24, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the local arena.

Admission is free, and festivities include health exhibits and seminars, blood pressure and hearing checks (no charge), hand hygiene house of horrors, musical entertainment, door prizes, kids zone (face painting, crafts, etc.) and more.

At 10 a.m. Rideau Valley Diabetes Services discusses Managing Your Diabetes.

“There will be a professional panel,” de Kemp said, “talking about nutrition, medications, physical activity, blood glucose control and new driving guidelines.”

There will be an opportunity for questions and answers.

“Diabetes is prevalent in this area, and it’s always,” de Kemp said, “which is why the hospital selected the topic.”

The second talk, entitled Personal Safety, takes place at 1 p.m. de Kemp noted attendees will learn about safety at work, home and while on vacation.

“You hear so many stories in the news,” she said, “and the more information we can give the public (both sexes

and all ages) on personal safety and how to protect themselves the more empowered they feel.”

The presenters are Mary Pat Bingley from Lanark County Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Program and Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer Angie Atkinson.

“Anything that brings awareness to the community on health issues…it’s an important role the hospital needs to play,” de Kemp said Registration is not required for the talks, which should last up to two hours. de Kemp has been the CPDMH’s CNO for approximately two and a half months, arriving from Kanata.

The arena, located at 75 Neelin St., is completely accessible to wheelchair users and offers plenty of free parking.

Stewart raises concerns about alleged pesticide use on Middleville subdivision site desmond.devoy@metroland.com

“until a significant number of houses have been built,” said Grant, and even then, only just after the heavy traffic of construction equipment have left, but before the road opens to the public. It is at this point that the township will take over the road.

“It’s not going to be bedtime reading,” joked Grant, of the subdivision agreement, which would likely clock in at a substantial number of pages.

The natural heritage and environmental report, backed by the MVCA, show that “there are still some outstanding concerns,” said Craig.

For Stewart, one of those concerns was that of well water.

“There has been a lot of concern raised within the community about wells within the hamlet (of Middleville),” said Stewart. The subdivision itself will be reliant on about 40 wells. “Has there been enough testing done to show that there would be no effect on wells within

News – Lanark Highlands Township Deputy Mayor Brian Stewart has expressed concerns about chemical spraying on the site of the proposed Middleville subdivision.

Stewart told township council’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, May 13 that he had come across “reliable” evidence that soy beans had been grown on the property in the Environment past few years, and that they had been sprayed with pesticides.

“That’s not information I have,” said Brian Byerley, the principal engineer on the project for Golder and Associates.

The end is nigh The Middleville subdivision saga has been ongoing at township council for some time, but Doug Grant, a planner with Parsons Corporation, hired as the township’s planning consultant, told council that “things are now getting towards the end. There is still some finalizing of the conditions.”

All of the reports from relevant agencies, like the MVCA, have been submitted to Lanark County, “and now the county is waiting for the township,” said Grant.

However, the subdivision agreement between the developer and the township still needs to hash out matters such as if the road pattern is acceptable, the setup of parkland, and other legal requirements.

“Fundamentally, the decision is that you will recommend this location,” said Grant.

Other outstanding issues on site include changing the entranceway to the subdivision to better accommodate emergency vehicles, and to address the fact that three lots on the land do not conform to planning by-laws as they are pie-shaped corner lots.

“Are those lots acceptable?” Grant asked. “If so, we will need to put them into exception zones. Those are issues that the township needs to deal with.”

He also added that, with construction now cut up into three phases, that issues can be revisited at each stage along the way.

The road being built on the site will remain the property of the developer

Bonnie King of the Perth Civitan Club donates the keys of a new van to Tony Pacheco, the executive director of Community Living Association of Lanark County. The $50,000 donation was made May 13 during a meeting at the Perth Civitan Club.

Pacheco expressed the gratitude of the association for the past and present relationship with the Perth Civitan and his hope for an ongoing close relationship. The Community Living Association was formed in 1965, the same year as the Perth Civitan Club and Willis Lesway, one of the founders of the Community Living Association and founding president was also a member of Perth Civitan.

The goal of the CLA (Lanark County) is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;That all people live in a state of dignity, share in all elements of living in the community and have the opportunity to participate effectively.â&#x20AC;?

This goal envisions a society in which the innate value of each one it its people is honoured and protected.

The dignity and self-respect that its people enjoy in their respective communities are the result of sharing and shouldering the responsibilities of welcoming and supporting all members of the community without discrimination. Perth Civitan members have supported this association in various ways over the years.

Steven

In loving memory of our son, brother, friend and dear family member.

SERVICE, Faye Audrey – In loving memory of a wife, mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother who passed away on 26 May 2012. We will never forget you.

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there. I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn’s rain, When you waken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night, Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.

Husband Robert Cindy, Myles and Thomas Jan, Jeff, Courtney, Kyle, Stephanie and Tennessee

HUMENIUK, Roy Roman, 1926-2013 – Written by granddaughter Christine and printed here with her permission.

I went away today, Just my body, not my soul, I left behind a special piece of me for each and everyone of you.

I went away today, Just my voice, not my words, Whether in the whisper of the trees, Or a loud roaring storm, Listen, they are always near.

I went away today, But our memories live on through you, Whether in a silent thought, a picture frame, an album or a story told, Our memories are forever a keepsake.

I went away today, Be sad, be blue, but remember I am never far away from you.

Not in sight, but look inside, my presence is there watching over you.

I went away today, To a new home, high above with others that we love, Friends and family that have been lost, but not forgotten.

Till we meet again Be safe, be happy. Live life, love unconditionally.

Be in no hurry to move on.

Take in all the world has to offer, And never let it go.

Missing you, love from Marjorie and families

IN MEMORIAM

McDOUGALL – In loving memory of our dear nan Dorothy McDougall, May 21, 2014.

We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, But all we have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your resting place we visit And put flowers there with care, But no one knows the heartache As we turn and leave you there.

Love always And missed so much Kim & Mackenzie Paul, Chantal, Connor & Breanna XOXOXOXO

McDOUGALL – In loving memory of a very precious “Mom”, one year ago May 21, 2013, the saddest day of my life. Dorothy May Burke-McDougall, loving wife of Edwin “Eddie” McDougall (Oct 22, 1969).

Happy Mother’s Day/Happy 1st Anniversary with Dad. As I sit here & look at a picture of you, And look at those beautiful eyes of blue, I can certainly see why my Dad would be attracted to you.

I’m happy, I’m sad and sometimes don’t know what to do, But as long as your safe, We will handle it without you, Lonely you were, but one day that changed, Your wish was to join Dad, And that was what you chose to do.

We are all fine, both of you we all miss, But one day we’ll be together and start to reminisce.

Hugs to you Mom & Dad. Your darling daughter, Diane

MORRISON, Andrew – May 19, 2012 In loving memory of a dear Husband and Father. It seems like yesterday that you were here with us Popa, Appreciating the first traces of spring, The time of year that you treasured so much, We miss your passion for life, That can do attitude, Which so positively affect those around you, Most of all we miss you being here, As much today as when you left us.

With love from your wife Barbara, Isabel (Paul) Stewart Gay (Curtis) Ryan Andrina Allan John And all your grandchildren

MacDONALD, Clifford – In loving memory of our dear father, grandfather, great grandfather, who left his family on May 13, 2011.

We had a father with a heart of gold How much we miss him could never be told He shared our troubles, and helped us along If we follow his footsteps – we will never go wrong.

What he suffered – he told but few He did not deserve what he went through.

Tired and weary he made no fuss But tried so hard to stay with us.

We prayed for a miracle but all in vain That God would make you well again.

But God knew best – we had to part It eased your pain but broke our hearts.

We cannot bring the old days back When we were all together The family chain is broken now But memories live forever He was a father so very rare Content in his home and always there On earth he toiled, in heaven he rests God bless you DAD, you were the best.

Dearly missed and loved forever All your family

GOURLEY - In loving memory of a dear Nan/Grand-Nan, Thelma, who passed away on May 27, 2012.

We must let go as she journeys on.

She would want it just that way But I know we will meet again On a distant shore someday.

And when we do, we’ll share a joke, and a cup of tea.

Though just for now, she goes on alone While we treasure her memory.

Always in our Hearts Tracy, Jamie and Adam

Our lives go on without you, but nothing is the same.

We have to hide our heartaches, when someone speaks your name.

Sad are the hearts that loved you, silent tears that fall.

Living in our lives without you, is the hardest part of all.

You did so many things for us; your heart was kind and true.

And when we needed someone, we could always count on you.

The special years will not return, when we were all together.

But with the love within our hearts, you will walk with us forever.

REGIONAL NEWS

Connected to your community

Local statutes can have big impact on business Lots of kittens now available for adoption at LAWS Lifestyle – As a former member and past chair of the Business Improvement Association (BIA) in Carleton Place this is a subject that has been on my mind for many years.

I have seldom written about it however. But something that happened on Mother’s Day weekend brought the matter to the forefront and has prompted me to delve into the topic this week. I am going to write about local bylaws and in particular how they can impact small businesses in our communities.

One of the most frequent complaints I heard as a BIA member was how upset downtown business people were when out-of-towners rolled in selling all sorts of things. Everything from books, to kitchen gadgets and tools, CDs, DVDs or even flowers.

There is always someone trying to make a buck flogging items door-todoor or setting up on street corners.

Sometimes they take the trouble to apply and pay for a vendor’s licence (loosely referred to here as a “peddler’s licence”) which most municipalities require under their bylaw structure.

Certain so-called “fly by nighters” don’t bother about local requirements however. They aren’t about to let a licencing fee cut into their bottom line.

It is about making as many quick sales as possible and getting out of town before the “heat” (bylaw enforcement or police officers) pay them a visit and insist the rules are followed.

Obviously it is those people who give everyone involved a bad name.

Anyway, it is flowers that brought this subject to the surface for me once again on Mother’s Day. There are only a handful of days each year when local florists, nurseries and supermarkets (who also sell flowers and plants) enjoy a major run of business. Valentine’s Day, Christmas-time and yes, Mother’s Day. What more perfect gift is there for Mom than a nice bouquet of spring flowers or perhaps a perennial for the flower border or garden?

A week ago Sunday I was out for my daily walk – after enjoying a Mother’s Day brunch with my mom near Stittsville earlier in the day I hasten to add. Our son was visiting and he accompanied me. On the return leg I encountered a lady I know very well.

She and her husband are long-time florists in downtown Carleton Place.

She was chatting with a gentleman I had seen, but had never formally met. They hailed me and we had a conversation. Turns out the man and his wife are the operators of the other main street flower shop in Carleton Place.

They wanted to talk to me about the competition they faced on one of the biggest days of the year for flower sales, Mother’s Day. An out-of-town operator (or operators) was selling flowers on the street in two locations. One downtown and the other along the busy Highway 7 strip. It wasn’t the highway sales that troubled them, it was the downtown competition which had them hot under the collar.

“We (to shops) help each other,” my long-time acquaintance underlined. “This situation doesn’t help either of us.”

Reflections

town. They had. Therefore they were conducting business in a perfectly legitimate fashion under local statutes.

I want to make this perfectly clear.

The folks who were selling flowers here on Mother’s Day weekend were completely above board and their product was clearly first-rate. They had plenty of customers from what I could see! Let’s face it, this is a free country and there is a free enterprise system. Therefore people have a perfect right to shop where they choose.

Now for the local business people’s side! They are unhappy and, after dusting off my BIA hat, I want to make it clear my sympathy lies with local businesses. Here and in all of the communities in our region and our country.

Running a small business today is a difficult thing and ringing up a profit at the end of the year can be a daunting task. The more competition they face, the more difficult it is to remain solvent.

The florists who spoke to me don’t mind competitors. Counting all of those who sell flowers locally they have plenty of competition thank you.

What they are concerned about is fairness. They have staked their futures on Carleton Place, just as so many other small businesspeople have. They pay rent, taxes (including a BIA tax) and have all of the many expenses that go with staffing and operating a storefront in the community.

They employ local people.

It’s exactly the same situation the businesses in your hometown face year-round.

In recent years there has been a rising crescendo from small business asking residents of their communities to “Shop Local.” It is a huge issue today when you consider the depth of the competition. Imagine what it takes to be a success in the book business today, for example, with so much online competition. Similarly fast food outlets have had a dramatic impact on local restaurants. It seems there is a pizza outlet on every corner and obviously there is a demand or they wouldn’t be there. I’m not knocking anyone. I am simply pointing out the obvious. It is all about survival of the fittest!

On the other side are the folks I mentioned earlier. The people who roll into town for a day or a weekend with the object of selling a particular product and turning a profit quickly and cheaply. Often they sell out of the trunk of a car or the back of a pick-up truck.

Those who follow the rules and purchase a vendor ’s permit are to be commended for following the rules.

Many don’t. I know because as a former business manager (publisher of the local newspaper) we had all kinds of salespeople visit out office over the Totally legitimate I asked if they had checked to see course of the year selling everything if their street-side competitors had and anything you can name.

As a BIA member my first question purchased a vendor’s permit from the

JEFF MAGUIRE

was “do you have a permit?” If they didn’t I directed them to the nearby Town Hall and insisted they purchase said permit. I know for a fact many did not follow my advice. And that is a shame.

But back to our florists and their concerns. I completely agree with them. I believe municipalities have to make it easier for small businesses to operate and survive. Part of that process is to make it as difficult as possible for “here today, gone tomorrow” vendors to operate in our town and in your municipality.

Higher fees There are ways this can be accomplished and I outlined my thoughts to the flower shop owners during our conversation.

An obvious option is to raise the price of a vendor’s licence/permit.

The more it costs to buy a licence, the less likely such operators are to set up in small communities. It is, after all, about earning maximum money in the shortest possible period. Anything that impacts on their profit margin is sure to give them pause.

However, requiring a vendor’s permit is only worthwhile if the local statute is enforced. Most bylaw issues are complaint driven. Therefore I feel that local governments should put a tighter rein on this situation by challenging individuals selling on the street or door-to-door to produce the required permit. If they aren’t challenged they will be back time and again in my experience.

There is such a thing as an outright ban on this kind of sales activity. But that is far more difficult to put in place and could lead to legal challenges, something local municipalities don’t want to become involved in. Not when taxpayers’ money is at stake.

I don’t believe in limiting business opportunities, but fair is fair. And usually the kind of competition I’m referring to is not on an equal footing with the local businesses they are impacting. It’s not a level playing field.

It is not my place to tell anyone where to shop. It is your money and you can spend it where and when you wish.

On the other hand I am a huge advocate of “Shop Local” and we do just that in our own lives. Therefore I am asking this week that you consider how important small businesses are in your community and support them whenever possible. Small business is the backbone of the community and they need your help to survive and thrive.

Oh yes, as I told the business owners who complained to me about street corner sales. This is a municipal election year. What better time to lobby local politicians on an important subject!

Waldo Lovingly nicknamed “the Gentle Giant,” this seven-year-old bloodhound mix with the bright, dark coat, is loping your way in search of a fellow adventurer. Big, handsome Waldo has a big, wellrounded personality: easygoing and good-natured, intelligent and enthusiastic. He may look strong and be strong, but he’s extremely social and very affectionate with everyone.

Although good with some larger dogs, small dogs and cats remain a question mark. The bloodhound in Waldo keeps him alert, watchful and curious, and nothing tickles his nose more than a good scent to follow! That’s why – for his own protection and your peace of mind – he needs to be kept on leash or allowed to roam free only in a secure, fenced-in area. He can also be quite vocal, and because of his moderate to high energy level, this bouncy, big boy will need plenty of exercise and stimulating activities to keep him satisfied. The ideal forever home for Waldo will be gentle and patient with him, provide him the guidance he needs, and lavish him with the attention he deserves.

Chamber hosts provincial all-candidates meeting May 29 MacDonald, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our economy is recovering, but growth is sluggish.

More than ever, government has to ensure it is doing everything in its power to encourage investment and job creation in the province.â&#x20AC;?

The Ontario Chamber of Commerceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ontario Election 2014: Business Priorities outlines the major challenges inhibiting the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic success and provides recommendations to Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political parties.

Among its key recommendations, Ontario Election 2014: Business Priorities calls on all political parties to create a better business climate by: â&#x20AC;˘ Limiting increases in the price of electricity and reconsidering new programs that would increase

the financial burden on businesses (eg. Ontario Retirement Pension Plan); â&#x20AC;˘ Tackling the debt and deficit by restraining broader public sector compensation and by partnering with the private and not-for-profit sectors in the delivery of certain public services; and â&#x20AC;˘ Investing in critical infrastructure, including transit and transportation infrastructure in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area and all-season transportation infrastructure in the Ring of Fire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Improving the business climate is good for everyone: it will encourage investment in the province, create jobs, and improve our prosperity,â&#x20AC;? says Allan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dette,

president and chief executive officer of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All parties must be prepared to take the bold actions necessary to secure a successful future for Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

About the Ontario Chamber of Commerce The Ontario Chamber of Commerce is a business network of 160 local chambers of commerce and boards of trade in Ontario. Through this network we are the voice of 60,000 members that range from small businesses to major corporations and industry associations.

Together, our members employ over two million people and produce nearly 17 percent of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GDP.

HEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MY CARD Whatever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for, these businesses ask you to consider them ďŹ rst.

Heart-breaking loss for Carleton Place in RBC Cup final

By JEFF MAGUIRE

Sports – Lightning can strike in the same place twice. Carleton Place Canadians found that out the hard way in the championship game of the Royal Bank Cup (RBC) in Vernon, British Columbia Sunday.

In this case the electricity was generated by Yorkton Terriers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Trailing 3-1 with less than three minutes remaining in regulation time the West Region champions struck for two goals in just eight seconds to force overtime. At 15:01 of the extra period Derek Falloon jammed a loose puck under Canadians’ goalie Guillaume Therien (a standout in the contest) to give Yorkton a 4-3 triumph and their first ever Canadian Junior A hockey championship.

It was a heart-breaking loss for the East Region champion Canadians of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL). Carleton Place never trailed in regulation time despite being outshot 36-31 by the Terriers. Therien was excellent, especially in the overtime period which was dominated by Yorkton.

The Montreal native made nine stops in OT as the Terriers outshot the Canadians 10-4. He almost stopped Falloon’s game winning effort! The puck barely crossed the goal-line forcing the

Andy Sturtz, the CCHL scoring champion and national MVP, gave Canadians a two-goal lead with a nifty backhander just over six minutes later.

Carleton Place did not sit on its two-goal advantage in the third.

Despite being outshot 17-12 in the final regulation period Canadians had several excellent scoring opportunities, all of which were blocked by Thomson who was outstanding. They couldn’t find the fourth goal that would have all but sealed the win.

Cue the Yorkton comeback which saw the Carleton Place season end in disappointment.

The game marked the first time in five playoff series or tournaments that Canadians’ head coach Jason Clarke and his players lined up for the traditional post-game handshakes having lost a deciding game.

toward the end of regulation both teams appeared to be tiring. Trailing by two goals Yorkton found an extra well of energy, stunning Carleton Place with back-to-back markers.

The scoring plays came so close together that many who were watching on television thought the second goal was a replay of the first. Tanner Lishchynsky and Dylan Johnson were the goal-getters.

Falloon, with his second overtime strike in four games, added the most important goal in Yorkton history late in the extra period.

This marks the first time the national championship final went to overtime since Calgary Canucks defeated the host Gloucester Rangers of the CCHL 5-4 in 1995.

Sunday it was Anthony McVeigh, with his fourth goal in three games, who opened the scoring for the Canadians just before the midway mark of the first period. Less than five minutes later Daylan Gatzke got Yorkton on the board making it 1-1 after 20 minutes.

I have testicular pain/groin pain and my doctor said it could be caused by a pinched nerve in my back. Can you help?

Clinically, I have cared for several men with testicular pain due to structural misalignment in the spine.

A person’s mid back and low back including the pelvis, can have structural misalignments which can result in nerve irritation. The nerve irritation commonly refers pain to the groin in

This pain is often described as a dull ache in one or both testicles that occurs daily with no specific cause or relief.

The pain can occur with or without back pain.

Once you have ruled out other serious causes of your testicular pain, my recommendation would be to visit your local chiropractor who is specifically trained to assess your spine, pelvis and nervous system. Your chiropractor will then be able to outline an appropriate program of care to alleviate your pain and help you correct your spinal misalignment to prevent recurrences of the debilitating pain.

I am sure your doctor has performed the appropriate tests to rule out an infection, inflammation, a mass or growth within the area. If these tests have revealed no specific cause to your pain, the next step is to look at the spine and nervous system. This is a very important step to pursue because testicular pain of unspecific origin can be misdiagnosed as epididymitis and treated unsuccessfully with antibiotics.

strongest defensive effort of the competition, holding off the desperate Kings in the dying minutes. Carleton Place also held a 34-32 shots edge in the contest.

Last Wednesday afternoon (May 21) Carleton Place completed the preliminary round, losing 3-1 to a Yorkton team who were in a must-win situation after losing their first two games.

Canadians, who had already qualified for the semi-finals, were playing their fourth game in five days and their second in 24 hours. Terriers had enjoyed a day off Tuesday.

McVeigh triggered the only Carleton Place goal, a shorthanded strike just before the midway mark of period one, to give the Eastern Canadian champions a 1-0 first period advantage.

The Western champion Terriers struck twice in the middle frame and once in the third, including a pair of powerplay tallies. Tayler Thompson fired what proved to be the game winner, an even strength goal at 13:50 of the second period.

The victory was the beginning of a big turnaround for Yorkton who won four do-or-die games in five days to claim their first national Junior A championship.

A celebration is planned in the southeastern Saskatchewan city of 15,000 this week.

Semi-final win Saturday night four-year veteran McVeigh, a standout in the RBC tournament, scored the first and last goals of the game as Canadians edged Dauphin Kings in their semi-final game to qualify for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship final.

McVeighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal was an empty net strike, with just 11.3 seconds left, that clinched a 5-3 victory for the East Region champions. Carleton Place had lost to the Manitoba team 4-3 in overtime in their preliminary round game played Sunday night, May 11.

McVeigh, who turns 21 on Wednesday, opened scoring in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial contest. He put his second RBC goal past Dauphin net minder Michael Stiliadis (who, one day earlier, was named the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MVP and top goaltender) at 2:35 of the opening stanza.

Later in the period Kings struck for goals less than five minutes apart by Dylan Butler

(a shorthanded effort) and Tanner Butler to lead 2-1 after 20 minutes.

Dauphin went into the semifinals as the No. 1 seed after posting a 3-1 mark in the roundrobin. Canadians (2-2) ended up as fourth seed despite defeating host Vernon (2-2) in their only meeting during the preliminary round.

Carleton Place winger Sturtz, who received his national MVP award during Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBC awards ceremony, stepped up Saturday.

The Buffalo, NY native enjoyed his biggest game of the competition with a goal and two assists.

Sturtz led the CCHL in scoring with 104 points including a league best 51 goals. But he had managed just one assist in the tournament going into the semifinal against Kings.

Early in the second period Sturtz set up teammate Luke Edwards for the tying goal.

Dauphin grabbed the lead again when Brayden Cuthbert beat Therien at 12:04 of the middle stanza.

But just 43 seconds later Sturtz wired his first RBC goal over Stiliadisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulder to level the count 3-3.

It stayed that way until 10:43 of the third period when Sturtz fed Dylan Gareau who buried what turned out to be the game winner.

Despite Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s setback nothing can erase what was a record-setting season for Carleton Place.

They rang up the best record in Canadian Junior A hockey (there are 128 teams in 10 leagues across the country) and set new CCHL records for wins, points and home ice victories.

They also tied the existing mark for road triumphs in their own league. In the CCHL playoffs they swept Kemptville 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, edged perennial champion Pembroke Lumber Kings (in a memorable seven game, semi-final series) and downed arch rival Smiths Falls Bears in five games in the league final to capture the Bogart-Nielsen Cup (CCHL championship trophy).

They then represented the CCHL at the Fred Page Cup Eastern Canadian championship tournament in suburban Montreal. Carleton Place swept all four games including beating host Saint-Jerome Panthers 3-1 in the final played May 4.

That win earned them a trip to the RBC national championship in the British Columbia interior city of Vernon.

Carleton Place finished the RBC with a 3-3 record. But two of their losses, including the defeat in the final, came in overtime.

The success of their season was underlined by CCHL Commissioner Kevin Abrams Monday.

Speaking to the Canadian Gazette Abrams said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; amazing season wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be forgotten despite suffering such a difficult loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The players and staff will feel this for a while.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a league we were represented with excellence by Carleton Place both on and off the ice.

An incredible year is over and the entire community should be very proud,â&#x20AC;? Abrams stressed.

A parade was held for the team Tuesday evening.

It began at the Carleton Place Town Hall and concluded at the community centre.

Afterwards a meet and greet was staged during which Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; players and coaching staff met with local fans and willingly signed autographs.

Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, who has led community support for the hockey club throughout the season, was among the audience who watched the final on big screen TVs set up in the Carleton Place arena hall Sunday night.

Despite the disappointing overtime loss LeBlanc said Monday the hockey club should be very proud of their accomplishments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our entire Carleton Place Canadians team has every reason to celebrate a wonderfully successful season,â&#x20AC;? she stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have reached so many significant milestones in only five years is truly remarkable.

I would think it is a feat that has been surpassed by few, if any, Junior A teams in this country,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The citizens of Carleton Place are proud of the Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accomplishments, including two major playoff trophies. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure we are all looking forward to an exciting future for our team,â&#x20AC;? the mayor remarked.

DAFFODILS The daffodils are blooming - take a drive between Almonte and Pakenham to see a display of several thousand daffodils in bloom at the hillside near the Indian River and further on at the Cedar Hill corner. Over the past three years many crates of bulbs have been planted by volunteers.

If you have a pot of daffodil bulbs with spent blooms, consider planting them on a hillside along the highway - in a place where it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get mowed. Or drop off the bulbs at the Culture and Recreation office in the Old Town Hall.

Braeside incidents Norma Moore, a Braeside resident who keeps a close eye on activities at that quarry, said blasting occurs as close as 170 metres to a neighbour’s house.

‘So the ministry’s comment that the control zone should be 500 metres is not being followed, not even close,” Moore said.

She recalled blasting accidents at the Miller Braeside quarry in September 2005 and August 2007.

“The second, the flyrock incident resulted in charges

by MOE,” she said. “They got off with a slap on the hand of $25,000 despite extensive damage to one neighbour’s house.”

Moore’s group, Friends Addressing Concerns Together in MacNab-Braeside (FACT MB), is taking the township to the Ontario Municipal Board in an attempt to prevent blasting as close as 150 metres to residents’ property boundaries.

News – A company pleaded guilty to quarry blasting that led to rocks hitting a person, a home, and two vehicles.

The Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) issued a press release last week saying Austin Powder Ltd. was fined $130,000 after admitting to “discharging fly rock” that resulted in off-site impacts. It also failed to report the discharges, contrary to the Environmental Protection Act. “Our environment legislation protects communities and the environment,” said MOE Minister Jim Bradley.

“Breaking these rules is an offence the ministry takes very seriously and can result in serious penalties.”

MOE spokesperson Kate Jordan said the July 20 and 23, 2009 blasting took place at a limestone quarry near Pakenham.

According to the press release the official version of events is as follows: “In the first incident, a small rock struck a worker at a neighbouring business on the arm. In the second incident, rocks were observed flying well beyond the control area. A scale house located 230 metres from the blast was struck by a number of rocks. Two vehicles held at a controlled stop along nearby Young Road on the edge of the quarry property located about 300 metres from the blast were also struck by rock resulting in extensive dam-

age. There were no injuries even though the blast damaged property and impaired the safety of people.”

During the MOE investigation and following charges Austin Powder – facing its first offence - was allowed to carry on with business as usual. It could still perform blasting at the site should the quarry operator offer a contract.

It was determined that the control zone should have been 500 metres for blasting of this nature at the quarry.

Carleton Place introduces I Love My Parks initiative News – The Town of Carleton Place Recreation and Culture Department is proud to announce the inaugural I Love My Parks this June in Carleton Place.

This special event will take place every Saturday from June 14 to June 28 inclusively, and will move to a different park each Saturday. Families are encouraged to come out, meet other families in the community, and take part in some outdoor recreation fun! The recreation and culture department staff will be on site lending out toys that children can use on the playground, and will have juice boxes on site.

Each session takes place from 10 a.m. to noon and families are welcome to come and go as they please. The schedule for this year’s “I Love My Parks” includes: • June 14 – Ferrill Park (located at the corner of Bridge and Thomas Street), with special

guests from “I Love Carleton Place!” • June 21 – Westview Park (located on Drummond Street) • June 28 McNeely Park (located near the Mississippi Manor on Alexander Street) June was recognized as “Recreation and Parks Month” by the Canadian Recreation and Parks Association in an effort to encourage Canadians to get outside and be active in their community.

The initiative also strives to raise awareness of the importance of recreation and the vital role it plays in the lives of Canadians.

“There are many new families moving to Carleton Place every month; and as a result some families aren’t even sure where the parks are located in town.” says community programmer Jessica Smith. “We are excited to be taking part in Recreation and Parks Month, and through this initiative we hope will get families of Car-

leton Place better acquainted with our parks in town, and hopefully they will make some new friends at the same time.”

Staff have observed the overwhelming success of unstructured playgroups at the Carambeck Community Centre and arena, and hope this initiative will encourage families to start the same type of play group sessions in an outdoor environment. “Dozens of parents and their children visit the Ontario Early Years Play Groups both at Carambeck and the arena, and we had great success hosting Parents and Tots free play nights at Carambeck,” says Smith. “It is great that families are seeing the benefits of unstructured free play for children of all ages!”

For more information on I Love My Parks, please contact Jessica Smith, community programmer, at 613-257-1704 or jsmith@carletonplace.ca.

On stage and off, Little Women, the Musical is about dreams

By PAUL JOYCE

Arts – Take a classic tale that has been cherished by generations of readers, add a stirring live music score and a cast of seasoned actors, and what do you have? An unforgettable stage show, and a dream come true for actors and audiences alike.

Little Women, The Musical, which opens on Thursday, May 22, is one of the most eagerly anticipated shows ever staged by Perth’s Studio Theatre.

Director C. Lee Bates knows that her telling of this beloved story has a lot to live up to.

“Little Women is Louisa May Alcott’s classic Civil War tale about the strength of family, and having the courage to follow one’s dreams. If you grew up with the story, our production will bring to life the characters you loved as a child. And even if you don’t know it, you’ll be truly entertained – this is a warm, humorous, family-friendly show, with stellar vocal and orchestral performances and powerful acting.

Who could ask for anything more?”

C. Lee Bates was the director behind the phenomenally successful musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, which broke new ground for stage productions at the Studio Theatre last year. She says that although Spelling Bee and Little Women are both musicals, they present very different challenges.

“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee was a comedy, and relatively unknown to our audiences. Little Women is a story that generations of people have known and loved, and we’re very aware that we need to be true to the spirit and tradition of the piece. With strong vocal performances and a thrilling 11-piece orchestra, I’m confident that Perth audiences are going to love this show,” she said.

Actors who perform in community theatre are a special breed who commit countless hours to honing their performances. Although they’re unpaid, they

We spoke to some of the cast members of Little Women, the Musical, to find out what made them want to be a part of this classic story.

Courtney Mason, who plays feisty, fearless Jo March, is a graduate of the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts in Toronto. Courtney says that the character of Jo has many of the qualities she admires.

“Jo refuses to be something that she

isn’t, no matter how much people expect her to be. She is strong, and she knows who she is and what she wants.

I am definitely not as fearless as Jo, but portraying her is a welcome challenge!” said Mason.

veteran actor from the Ottawa area, is one of two actors who play the mother, Marmee.

“Marmee has been a dream role for me,” Kevan said. “As a mother, she is such a strong role model, with so much patience, tenderness, love, and care.

Her songs are powerful and very moving. She’s the heart and strength of the show, her spirit is beautiful.”

Kyle Booth is a 25-year-old tenor who plays the role of “Laurie” Lawrence, a hopeless romantic who will do anything to find true love.

“Laurie is a character a lot of people who fall in love can relate too,” he said. “The most challenging thing about playing this character is finding the balance between being a shy young boy at the beginning of the story, then a grown man later on. Working two completely different personalities – and how he interacts with the other characters at these two points of the story – has been a rewarding challenge for me.”

Little Women, The Musical also stars Jackie LeClerc, Andrew McDougall, Justin Hills, David Wright, Mary Hills, Barb Guthrie, Emma Houlahan, and Lindsay Rewi. Music is by Jason Howland, lyrics by Mindi Dickstein.

Music and vocal director is Laurel Tye. Opening night is Thursday, May 22, with performances May 23, 24, 30 and 31 at 8 p.m. and May 24, 25, 31 and June 1 at 2 p.m. Advance tickets are $20 cash at The Book Nook, and $22 cash at the door, or at Tickets Please, which accepts phone, credit card and online orders (613-485-6434; ticketsplease.ca).

Adult tickets are two-for-one on opening night, Thursday, May 22 (aeason tickets holders can bring a second person free on that night only). Children under 12, and students with ID, are just $10 any night. For further details, please visit studiotheatreperth. com.

Business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On Saturday, May 10, franchisees, staff and thousands of volunteers at more than 400 M&M Meat Shops locations across Canada joined together to raise $1,075,000 for Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Canada (formerly known as the Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Foundation of Canada).

Supporters from coast to coast lined up to celebrate M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day, raising funds to help find a cure for Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease and ulcerative colitis and to improve the lives of children and adults affected by these chronic diseases. To date, the annual event has raised more than $25,381,000 for this very worthy cause.

May 10 marked the 26th anniversary for M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day and Canadians enjoyed thousands of hamburgers and hot dogs. Proceeds raised will go directly to Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Canada to invest in research, education, awareness and advocacy programs for Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and colitis, a disease that affects more than 233,000 Canadian men, women and children.

This year, M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day was pleased to have 11-year-old Halifax resident, Jillian Robinson as Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative for the event. Jillian understands all too well what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to live with ulcerative colitis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was diagnosed with ulcer-

More than $1 million was raised across Canada during May 10â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day to benefit the Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Foundation of Canada. More than 400 M&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locations participated, including locally in Carleton Place, Kemptville, Smiths Falls and Perth. Above, in Carleton Place, in front, Paul and Mary Lou Chamberlain of Carleton Place, whose daughter Amanda has Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. They say they have been volunteering for the cause since their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagnosis at age 12 to 22 years ago.

Decatur believes this amazing feat could not have been accomplished without the help of the thousands of volunteers and dedicated M&M Meat Shops franchisees, who tirelessly manned barbecues and promoted their event in local communities across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadians have more reasons to be concerned about Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and colitis than anyone else in the world. One in every 150 people is living with these chronic diseases â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a rate that ranks in the highest worldwide,â&#x20AC;? says Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief development officer, Terrance Slobodian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the Canadian diseases that affect the entire family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; moms and dads, brothers and sisters. Monies raised from the (May 10) event makes important research happen. And we are so very grateful for the hard work of our volunteers and M&M Meat Shopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; franchisees, who share in our vision of a future without Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and colitis.â&#x20AC;?

Here is the1938 Ford street rod owned by Jim Smith of Wellandport, Ontario.

in Canada and the U.S. In going to these shows, we have met a lot of wonderful people and have made many friends. Just love this sport! Thanks again for the great articles.”

The Shirley Temple movie mentioned above came out in 1939, when Jim’s car was one year old. The ad for the movie at the Onyx Theatre in the Saskatchewan town of Biggar stated: “Showing today 3:30 to 9:30 Continuous.” Also included with the movie was a comedy and a news reel. And after the last show, the theatre held a “BIG DANCE” with music supplied by the Biggar Orchestra.

Jim’s letter arrived in my mailbox within a day or two of the news on TV announcing that Shirley Temple had passed away at age 85.

Jim Smith’s 1938 Ford coupe is a classic example of Art Deco styling with its curvaceous

grille and sleek body lines. The windshield can be cranked open at the bottom for an early form of air conditioning.

When Jim’s car was new, it had mechanical brakes, with Henry Ford claiming that this design gave you “the safety of steel from pedal to wheel.” One year later, Ford switched to hydraulic brakes, which Jim has added to his ’38. His Ford when new had a flathead V8 engine with 221 cubic inches and 85 horsepower and a Windsor factory retail price of $845.

‘He’s a Good Dog’ concert for LAWS June 5 Community – Juno Award winner and Port Dover native Fred Eaglesmith performs in Carleton Place at the town hall (137 Bridge Street) on Thursday June 5 at 8 p.m. The show is called ‘He’s a Good Dog’ concert as it is a fundraiser with net proceeds going to LAWS. For more than 35 years, the legendary Eaglesmith has toured towns and cities across the continent, singing about the people and places of this province. In doing so, he has earned international accolades, gold records, a spot on David Letterman and songs covered by recording starts such as Miranda Lambert, Allan Jackson and Toby Keith. Now Eaglesmith

says the time has come to bring his show back home to Ontario where it truly belongs. The upcoming concert at the town hall on June 5 is just one of the local shows he has planned for this year.

Eaglesmith also thinks the smaller halls are the ideal venue for his Travelling Steam Show.

The songs he writes and performs, with the help of his band – which includes Texas knockout Tif Ginn as opener and back-up vocalist, bassist Justine Fischer, Matty Simpson on guitar, mandolinist Mike Zinger and drummer Kori Heppner – seem particularly poignant and appropriate in these places, because they are genu-

inely tied to the lives, labours, trials, tribulations and triumphs of the everyday people who may visit them.

The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at www.fredeaglesmith.com for $35 or at Read’s Book Store on Bridge St. in Carleton Place. Should tickets be left they will sell at the door for $40.

For further information, contact Ray at 613-257-5126.

‘He’s a Good Dog’ is a song Fred wrote many years ago about a dear friend. We will also have a pie auction with proceeds going to Operation Smile. The Town of Carleton Place is supporting the concert with a Community Enrichment Grant for facilities.

Lifestyle – Jim Smith of Wellandport, Ontario, writes: “Hello Bill, I really enjoy all your ‘Old Car Detective’ articles.

I have a 1938 Ford Deluxe business coupe. I bought it from a fellow in Ayr, Ontario, in 1997. He told me he bought it in western Canada, where it sat in a barn for 40 years.

“I think the barn was near Biggar, Sask., because of the piece of paper I found in the trunk advertising a Shirley Temple movie: ‘Susannah of the Mounties’ with Randolph Scott and Margaret Lockwood at the Onyx Theatre in that town. I also found a 1938 quarter and a 1942 dime in the car. My wife had the quarter made into a key fob.

“The car has now been transformed into a street rod, which took three-and-a-half years. I retained the original look on the outside. It is powered by a 396 V8 with 700R4 transmission and a 9-inch Ford rear end with a Mustang II front end. The car also has a completely new frame.

“My wife and I have a lot of fun driving it to shows from Moncton, NB, to Louisville, Kentucky, and Michigan, and lots of other shows

Lanark County throws support behind investigating hydro rates AEDs, for a total of 116 of the devices with public building access throughout the county.

“Placing signage outside buildings, at main entrances and above the cabinets that house an AED promotes awareness of and the availability of an AED in a public access facility throughout Lanark County,” said Rick Hannah, emergency services co-ordinator. “Performing CPR and using a defibrillator before paramedics arrive can increase a person’s survival rate by up to 75 per cent.”

CAO provides public works garage update Council accepted an information report about the ongoing project to see a new public works garage constructed on land beside the county administration and public works buildings on Christie Lake Road. So far a preliminary site plan design, road survey and draft floor plan have been completed.

The proposed facility would have a second storey with 4,050 square feet for record storage for Archives Lanark and Lanark County. Council also approved a motion to proceed with tendering for upgrade work at the Union Hall facility, as well as to engage an architect to design the Perth garage. The initial estimate for the new building, site work, salt/sand storage, equipment storage and relocating the generator, as well as upgrades at Union Hall and architectural work, is $3.3 million. The project comes as the Perth garage on Wilson Street is at the end of its useful life.

ing for youth centres have been unsuccessful.

“The cost of not investing in our youth can have significant impacts on our communities,” explained Mary Lou White, children’s services manager. “Some research now states that investment of $1 in prevention can save up to $17 in costs later.”

The current funding of $200,000 per year is specifically targeted to support the executive director positions in the centres. They then pursue other funding opportunities and build capacity in the programs. Council heard the funding has provided stability and has allowed for growth, and that discontinuing or reducing funding would reduce services and possibly affect the future of the centres.

Support in principle for continuing the funding gives the centres the ability to plan for another year. Lanark County has contributed $1.6 million since 2003.

Go, Canadians, go!

Lanark County Council passed a motion expressing congratulations to the Junior A Carleton Place Canadians.

They won the Bogart Cup to become Central Canada Hockey League Champions, then took the Fred Page Cup for the Eastern Canadian championship and competed in the national championship for the RBC Cup in Vernon, British Co-

lumbia, where they made it to the finals, but lost.

County council and Smiths Falls representatives posed for a “Go Canadians Go” photo to wish the team good luck in the finals.

News – The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County council meeting held Wednesday, May 14 at the county building in Perth.

Council, along with several other municipalities, has passed a resolution calling upon Premier Kathleen Wynne and the province to take immediate action to prevent increasing hydro rates in Ontario. It highlights data from the Long-Term Energy Plan, the Minister of Energy and the auditor general’s report pointing to the contributing factors in the rising hydro rates and notes it is essential for residents and businesses to have access to affordable hydro in order to thrive and prosper.

The resolution is being circulated to all Ontario municipalities for support.

Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, Like so many that write to you, I too enjoy your column and advice on a wide range of topics.

I have a 2010 Ford Taurus with 85,000 km. The kilometres are light duty and mostly highway.

Rarely would there be more than two passengers or a few suitcases.

As of this week I have replaced three of four wheel bearings.

Front two bearings were done six months ago. Right rear bearing was done this week. These are not inexpensive repairs.

The OEM tires and rims on the car are 18-inch, my question is do today’s larger tires add significant stress on bearings and are the Taurus’ bearing assemblies up for the job? Are there other factors that might contribute to bearing failure?”

Phil In my experience, unlike many parts on autos, wheel bearings don’t tend to fail strictly because of mileage. The experience on this Taurus isn’t usual according to my local dealer service and parts department contacts. The question on wheel size affecting these failures is a good one. While 18” tires and rims are large, the wheels are usually constructed of a lighter weight alloy which offsets the size.

So as weight isn’t a factor, the improved grip of larger rubber might be. Let me explain. Drivers quickly adapt their driving styles to the limits of the vehicle they are operating. No one wants to be unsafe or a discourteous driver, but lighter vehicles with powerful

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

engines build on very responsive suspension and steering systems, tends to bring unforeseen consequences. Sometimes the tire grip is just too much for the car given a particular set of road and weather conditions.

Most wheel/hub bearing assemblies fail from excess forces being applied to them. Lateral impacts on curbs, direct collisions with potholes, constant poundings from unpaved roads, and even aggressive cornering can lead to their demise. Alloy wheels can exacerbate these problems as they tend to seize on the hubs over the course of a few months of Canadian winters. Then when it comes time for the seasonal tire changeover, techs must often resort to hammering the rims off. A heavy hammer is also often employed when trying to remove brake rotors during routine maintenance. All this pounding can have a negative effect on wheel bearings.

My advice is to always stick with a well-known brand name part with the longest warranty possible when replacing a hub/ bearing. Ford recently changed the warranty on their replacement parts and most are now covered for two years with no distance limitation. There are plenty of cheap off-

shore after-market brands, but they seldom deliver a life-span most consumers expect for the price.

When having the tires removed for rotation or seasonal change, ask the tech to paint a coating of heat-proof lubricant on the hub where the wheel contacts it. This might also make a big difference if you have to change a flat on the side of the road. Of course, avoiding curb kisses and potholes and wash-outs is up to the driver.

The Rubber Association of Canada recently revealed some surprising stats from a Leger poll of more than 1,000 Canadian drivers completed in early April. With the automobile travel season at our doorstep it’s astounding that: • 69 per cent of drivers don’t check their tire inflation monthly, • 31 per cent think they only need to check their tire pressure when it appears tire pressure is low, • 45 per cent of motorists do not know where to find the correct inflation pressure for their vehicle, • 65 per cent do not know that tire pressures should only be measured when tires are cold.

Other than the increased fuel consumption and shortened tire life to consider, the risk to road safety grows with each pound of air pressure lost. Underinflated tires can be a blow-out hazard waiting to happen, especially when rolling on a heavily loaded vehicle in warmer ambient temperatures.

“These findings should be a wake-up call to Canadian motorists,” says Glenn Maidment,

president of The Rubber Association of Canada, which represents tire makers. “Drivers can guarantee optimal tire performance, lower their fuel bills and protect the environment simply by learning a few tire inflation facts and measuring air pressures monthly to ensure their tires are inflated to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended level.”

Calling on election candidates to sign up for 4 Lung Years

COUNTRY JUKEBOX

Lifestyle – Even though one in five people in Ontario has a serious lung disease, there is no coordinated provincial plan to address the growing lung health crisis.

That is why the Ontario Lung Association is asking candidates in the June 12 election to take a deep breath and sign the 4 Lung Years Pledge – a promise that if elected they will support a comprehensive Lung Health Action Plan for Ontario.

During the campaign, the Ontario Lung Association (@OntarioLung) and its lung health ad-

WED., AUG. 20 @ 8PM THURS., AUG. 21 @ 2PM & 8PM

vocates will be using social media to encourage party leaders and candidates to share photos of their signed 4 Lung Years Pledge. All Ontarians are invited to join the conversation – and share why they feel lung health should be made a priority – using hashtag #4LungYears.

Of the four chronic diseases responsible for eight in 10 deaths in Ontario – cancers, cardiovascular diseases, lung disease and diabetes – only lung disease does not have its own coordinated provincial strategy.

“Lung health must become a top health priority in Ontario,” said George Habib, president and chief executive officer of the Ontario Lung Association. “A lung health action plan will not only improve the lives of the 2.4 million women, men and children living with lung disease, it will also save billions of health-care dollars.”

The Ontario Lung Association is currently consulting with stakeholders throughout the province on the draft framework for an Ontario Lung Health Action Plan that will reduce the impact of lung disease,

improve lung health and save scarce health-care resources.

“Every Ontarian who breathes benefits from policies that make lung health a priority in our province,” said Habib. “Therefore, we call on all candidates to sign the 4 Lung Years Pledge, a commitment that, if elected, they will work to implement the Ontario Lung Health Action Plan during their first four-year term.”

The Lung Health Information Line – 1-888-344-LUNG (5864) – is staffed by certified respiratory educators.

Rilyn Taylor, center, will be having his hair shaved off at the Relay For Life in Smiths Falls on June 13 to help raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. The 12-year-old started growing his hair out in May 2012 in support of his mom Jackie, left, who was undergoing treatments for breast cancer at the time. His brother Jordan, right, was part of a group of volunteers from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) at last year’s Relay held on the track at SFDCI and will be back again this year volunteering.

adult cancer patients.

On the fundraising side, Rilyn hopes to raise $1,000 for the cancer society.

Anyone who would like to support Rilyn Taylor’s Head Shave Fund is encouraged to contact Jackie at 613-284-9451.

Jackie says her co-workers at the downtown location of Tim Horton’s in Smiths Falls have been “heavily supportive” of the cause, having already contributed close to $200.

While this is the first time Rilyn has taken part in the RFL, his brother Jordan who is a Grade 12 student at SFDCI volunteered through the school at last year’s event and plans to lend a helping hand again on June 13. Jackie who is still on the waiting list for reconstructive surgery hopes to participate in the Survivors’ Victory Lap that evening.

Raising funds for the CCS to assist cancer research and support the many programs that the society’s Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Community Office offers to those who have cancer, cancer survivors and caregivers is very important for Jackie and not just because she is a cancer survivor.

“We just lost one of our closest friends three weeks ago to cancer,” she shares.

Anyone interested in learning more about the RFL in Smiths Falls or to register a team can visit relayforlife.ca/ smithsfalls or is encouraged to contact the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Community Office of the CCS at 613-2671058 (toll-free 1-800-367-2913) or email lanarklg@ontario.ca.

“Relay is quickly drawing near and my team is planning a great night,” says Bill McNicol, event chair. “If you don’t have a team already, there is still time. I know that everyone has someone in their life that has been touched by cancer. Come out and join us. We are all here to support those we love and, in some small way, we can help eradicate this disease.”

Twelve-year-old goes extra lengths Got Events? to raise funds for Relay For Life Editor’s note: Leading up to the June 13 Relay for Life in Smiths Falls, we will be highlighting the stories of some of the team members, activities and events scheduled to take place in a series of articles.

Community – When Smiths Falls’ resident Jackie Taylor was undergoing radiation treatments for breast cancer in May 2012, her son Rilyn decided to show his support in a special way.

Knowing that his mom was concerned about losing her hair, Rilyn decided to let his hair grow out in solidarity with her cancer fight.

“Because she was going to lose her hair, I was going to grow mine out,” he says of his decision.

While Jackie did not end up losing her hair, the mother of four was still moved by this act of love.

“It was touching and it still is,” she says, adding that she is very proud of what Rilyn has done.

Given the fact that Rilyn had a brush cut at the time, letting his hair grow was a radical change for him. He persevered, however, and has not had his hair cut for the past two years despite being taunted by some for his long locks.

“Some people would call me a girl and make fun of me,” the 12-year-old notes.

Now with his thick wavy hair extending down his back, the Grade 7 student at Chimo Elementary School has decided it’s time to have it cut off. And he’s decided to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) while doing it.

At the Relay For Life taking place overnight on Friday, June 13 at the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) track, Rilyn will be having his head shaved by John Ovens of New Beginnings Hair Stylist in Smiths Falls.

The head shaving will be taking place on the stage at 8 p.m. with the hair being donated to a charity that makes wigs for

Lyme disease is a concern â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Why you should take note Ticks can be infected with more than one type of bacteria that can cause human illness, hence guarding against tick bites will protect you from more than just Lyme disease.

Here are some ways to protect yourself if you venture into forests or overgrown areas between the woods and open spaces: â&#x20AC;˘ Wear closed-toe shoes, long-sleeved shirts and pants â&#x20AC;˘ Pull your socks over your pant legs to prevent ticks from crawling up your legs â&#x20AC;˘ Wear light-coloured clothing to spot ticks easier â&#x20AC;˘ Use insect repellents that contain DEET or Icaridin.

Repellents can be applied to clothing as well as exposed skin. Always read and follow label directions â&#x20AC;˘ Shower or bathe within two hours of being outdoors to wash away loose ticks â&#x20AC;˘ Do daily â&#x20AC;&#x153;full bodyâ&#x20AC;? checks for ticks on yourself, your children and your pets â&#x20AC;˘ If you find a tick on your skin, removing it within 24 to 36 hours usually prevents infection Symptoms Initial symptoms differ from person to person, and some people will not experience any symptoms, which makes Lyme disease very difficult to diagnose. Furthermore, others may experience mild symptoms like fever or a skin rash soon after being bitten, while others may suffer severe symptoms, but not for weeks after the bite.

Signs and symptoms of Lyme disease can include one or a combination of the following with varying degrees of severity: fatigue; fever or chills; headache; muscle and joint pain, spasms, or weakness; numbness or tingling; swollen lymph nodes; skin rash; cognitive dysfunction, dizziness; nervous system disorders; arthritis and arthritic symptoms; heart palpitations, Untreated, symptoms can last years and include recurring arthritis, neurological problems, numbness and paralysis. Although not common, fatalities from Lyme disease have been reported.

If you develop symptoms of Lyme disease, contact your healthcare provider right away, as the earlier you receive a diagnosis, the greater the chance of a successful treatment. If you saved the tick that bit you, bring it with you to your medical appointment as it may help the doctor in assessing your illness.

Treatment Lyme disease can be effectively treated with two to four weeks of antibiotics. Depending on your symptoms, and if you are diagnosed in the later stages of the disease, you may require a longer course of antibiotics.

Some people experience symptoms that continue more than six months after treat-

ment. Research continues into the causes of these persistent symptoms and methods of treatment.

Getting a diagnosis of Lyme disease can be difficult because

symptoms vary from one person to another and may be similar to other infectious diseases that are spread by ticks.

The agency has also recently de-

veloped a three-year action plan on Lyme disease that serves to lessen the diseaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact through continued and enhanced stakeholder engagement, public and clinician

education, and enhanced surveillance, as well as research, to improve diagnosis.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lyme disease is a serious illness thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s present in Canada and spreading.

Canadians at risk from Lyme disease include those, who live, work and/or play in close proximity to ticks that spread the disease.

If not identified and treated early, Lyme disease can cause serious health issues. But there are simple and effective measures you can take to protect against it.

As you prepare to spend time outdoors, learn more about Lyme disease and how to prevent it.

What is Lyme disease?

Lyme disease is a serious illness which can be spread by the bite of blacklegged ticks that are infected with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi.

In regions where blacklegged ticks are found, people can come into contact with ticks by brushing against vegetation while participating in outdoor activities, such as golfing, hiking, camping and gardening.

Risk to Canadians While not all blacklegged ticks carry Lyme disease, populations of infected blacklegged ticks are growing. This means that the risk of contracting Lyme disease is on the rise across Canada.

Blacklegged ticks can be active throughout much of the year; however, your risk of a tick bite is highest in the spring and summer months.

Take steps to reduce your risk if you spend time outdoors in areas where there may be ticks. As ticks are very small and their bites are usually painless, you may not know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been bitten, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to be on the lookout for ticks and the symptoms of Lyme disease.

Where are ticks found?

Blacklegged ticks are most often found in forests and the overgrown areas between the woods and open spaces, although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to be bitten outside of these areas. The following are areas where blacklegged tick populations have been confirmed or are establishing: Southern British Columbia; southeastern and south-central Manitoba; southern and eastern Ontario; southern Quebec; southern New Brunswick and Grand Manan Island; south shore and northern mainland Nova Scotia.

Ticks donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move far by themselves but they can attach to migratory birds, and may fall off far from their original location. For this reason, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to find infected ticks in other areas than the ones listed above. Surveillance is ongoing to confirm other areas of spread.

How to protect yourself Canadians are encouraged to spend time outdoors, be active and to remember to protect themselves against tick bites and Lyme disease.

Freeman will be taking travel suggestions from OHTOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social media followers, who will guide her summer adventures using #OHletsgo, a hashtag the organization has created as part of its new summer campaign.

Residents and business owners in the region are encouraged to use the hashtag throughout the summer to interact with Freeman and offer â&#x20AC;&#x153;local gemsâ&#x20AC;? for her to visit.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Armed with a map, an iPad and a hashtag, the Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highlands Tourism Organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (OHTO) new social media brand ambassador is hitting the road this summer, taking part in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great Escapeâ&#x20AC;? trip that will change the way first-time-visitors engage with our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer tourism offering.

Beginning the Victoria Day long weekend, Carly Freeman, a public relations graduate from Humber College in Toronto, will become the ultimate tourist in Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highlands, acting as the face of the region and the eyes and ears of young, socially-connected and curious city slickers looking for an opportunity to get a taste of the travel experiences available between Haliburton County and the Ottawa Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My bags are packed. My iPhone is charged. And my itinerary is already booking up with exciting places to travel to and locals to meet,â&#x20AC;? says Freeman, whose summer â&#x20AC;&#x153;headquartersâ&#x20AC;? will shift between her apartment in Toronto and her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Madoc.

Freemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family owns Hidden Goldmine Bakery in town, where she learned about the value of making personal connections with visitors long before she headed off to college in the big city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad would walk out from behind the counter, covered head to toe in white flour, and strike up conversations with customers,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It made me passionate about travel, realizing that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just as much about the people as it is about finding great muffins and
