Community divided over chocolate shop proposal Tara Gesner

tgesner@perfprint.ca

Chocolate can be tempting, but the Town of Carleton Place wants to be sure not to over-indulge.

That was the sentiment of council members on July 21 who voted unanimously to defer a decision regarding the severance and zoning changes for St. James Anglican Church’s old parish hall, Elliot Hall (224 Edmund Street).

Named after Rev. Canon Elliot, it was built in 1923 on land originally used as a lumberyard. Elliot served as the church’s rector from 1890

to 1925.

St. James Anglican Church hopes to sell Elliot Hall to the McKeen family, owners of Manitoulin Chocolate Works; however, it’s a conditional sale, which hinges on a severance and zoning change.

Community members are passionately divided over the matter, and as a result, a standing-room-only crowd packed the town hall auditorium for the town’s planning and protection committee meeting July 21.

Keith and Heather McKeen were also at the meeting. Heather is Keith’s oldest daughter with wife Louise.

Ten years ago, Louise and Keith purchased a 105-yearold building in the heart of Manitoulin Island, in the village of Kagawong, which they have completely renovated. In 1998 they launched Manitoulin Chocolate Works.

In addition to its handmade chocolates, the business offers confections, fresh roasted coffee and a variety of sweet and savoury gourmet items from around the country, the world.

“My wife started it,” Keith said, “and Heather is the

brains behind the operation.”

With Heather getting married next year, “it’s our family’s objective to have Heather start something here in Carleton Place because she wants to live here and raise a family,” he continued.

Manitoulin Chocolate Works is seasonal, running from May 1 until Dec. 24.

“We manage to make a living,” Keith said, “but we are hoping to start something in Carleton Place.”

A lot has changed since 1840.

On Saturday, Aug. 1, the Pakenham General Store is inviting locals to see just how much times have changed since then as they celebrate their 175th anniversary. The store first opened in 1840, making it the longest running general store to remain in the same location in all of

Canada.

“It’s quite an accomplishment, I would say,” said Sheila Lamb, the store’s general manager. “We’ve been serving the community for a long, long time.”

To mark their 175th birthday, the Pakenham General Store is hosting a celebration from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 1 complete with a barbecue and birthday cake, See STORE page A/CP7

Actor talks about wild experiences on Perth Theatrical Walking Tour The road to my playing a number of characters in historical period costume on the streets of Perth began when I first heard about the Classic Theatre Festival through a presentation Laurel Smith (artistic producer and playwright) gave in my high school drama class.

She talked about the history of their theatre, the different shows they put on throughout the summer, and the Perth through the Ages historic walking tour, which is now in its second year with a new show called The Maid and the Merchant, running Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. starting at Mathseon House, 11 Gore Street East.

I was interested in a job with the theatre as acting is a hobby of mine, and it was a wonderful opportunity to turn it into a part time job. It was my good fortune to audition for and earn the position of historic animator in the walking tour, as well as in the production of the theatre’s very first Lonely Ghosts Walk (which happens every Friday at 8 p.m.).

It has been a marvelous adventure so far.

I have the privilege to play three characters in the tours: the adventurous, Nancy Drew-inspired Nora Shaw in the walking tour and in the ghost walk; Mrs. Adamson, the harsh owner of the Adamson Inn (oldest building in Perth); and Col. Roderick Matheson, one of the founding fathers of Perth.

We started rehearsals in May and I’ve had some interesting experiences since then. For example, in the opening show of the walking tour, the final scene is at the court house, but what we didn’t realize was that the court house is a secure location and civilians aren’t supposed to be there. As I rounded the corner I noticed there were police officers present. One of the officers approached me and asked, “Are you part of the tour, ma’am?”

Now the trouble with that was we’re not supposed to break character and interact with anyone who is not in the show, but he was a police officer, so naturally I was a little torn. I nodded my head in response, unsure of what to do.

He then gestured me to come over and talk to him. I was trapped; I would be forced to break character, but thankfully a woman on the tour realized what was going on and ran over to talk to the officer. We managed to finish the final scene without being kicked out or arrested, but we weren’t allowed back again, so now

house staff, so while I may not be in costume, I am there to welcome you to the theatre to enjoy the actors performing mainstage shows, which include Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park (running until Aug. 2) and the thriller Wait Until Dark (Aug. 7-30) If you’d like to see me and other members of the troupe perform, you can get your tickets to the morning and evening tours and the Classic Theatre Festival online at classictheatre.ca or call 613-485-6434.

of Perth that I was not aware of before.

I feel very privileged to be part of these wonderful shows and to work with such very talented people as part of the festival’s youth theatre training program. I also appreciate the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization, Perth Tourism, and the Ontario Trillium Foundation, whose support has given such a great opportunity to me and the other youth troupe members.

Morgan MacDonald plays the Nancy Drew-inspired Nora Shaw in The Maid and the Merchant, running Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m., and, among other roles, the harsh Mrs. Adamson in The Lonely Ghosts Walk. we do the scene on the other side of the court house, in front of the old gaol, on Beckwith Street.

That small mishap is not the only thing that has happened on the tours; on a quite recent tour there was an older woman in the audience who was standing in front of a drawer that I had to open in order to take out a letter. This may not sound so bad, but the letter in that drawer is crucial to the plot of the play. In the opening scene, I saw her step in front of the drawer and panic ensued. The entire scene leading up to that moment I was trying to figure out how I would get her out of the way so I could get into the drawer. The moment came for me to open the drawer, but there was no way I could get past her, so with all the dignity I could muster, I did the only thing I could do: I improvised. Sitting on top of the drawer was a cloth napkin, so I picked it up, and being cloth, it folded over itself and I read the non-existent words that lay upon my flimsy “letter!”

One day during the final scene at the old gaol, there was a rather noisy garbage truck that prevented myself and the other actors from hearing each others’ cue lines and we were forced to project our voices like never before.

During the Friday night Lonely Ghosts Walk, I change costumes in the restroom in Tim Hortons before my next scene. During one rehearsal I emerged wearing a Jane Austen-era dress with a bonnet, cape, and gloves, only to find a

woman waiting in line to use the washroom. She looked at me with some amusement and curiosity, but asked for no explanation. Embarrassed, I said, “I’m in a show,” and fled the scene.

On opening night of the Lonely Ghosts Walk, everything was running smoothly until we reached a scene in which swords are used. They are “preset” by a producton assistant who left them in a specific location, but upon arriving to the scene we discovered that the swords were not there. The actors brilliantly mimed the sword fight and we were no worse for wear.

Working on these tours definitely teaches one a little something about humility, because you have to stand out on the streets in 1800s attire and weather the confused and/or amused looks of passersby. As I see the faces of the people driving by I sometimes wish I could explain myself. Some look with shock and confusion while others merely give smug looks as they drive past. Sometimes I am tempted to chase after the cars, in my tails and top hat, and shout, “I am not a crazy person! I am an actor!”

Despite some embarrassing, comical and sometimes stressful moments, I can honestly say the tours are a lot of fun and I enjoy going to work everyday. Working with the Classic Theatre Festival has not only taught me more discipline and focus as an actor. I have also learned about some of the history

Hosted by the Merrickville Lions Club • www.merrickvillecanalfest.ca

Canalfest, celebrating the Rideau Canal System in Merrickville, is ‘free’ fun filled days,

August 1, 2 & 3

Come celebrate the rich history of the Rideau Canal as the Merrickville Lions Club once again hosts Canalfest in picturesque Blockhouse Park Merrickville.

Central to August’s Civic Holiday weekend, this year’s festivities promise to be fun for the entire family, with live entertainment, clowns, face painting, a craft show and sale as well as voyageur rides to the Rideau bird Sanctuary.

Stonefields Heritage Farm’s grounds and outdoor tent will be the site for a Heritage Garden Party Sunday, Aug. 16 to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County and Ottawa. The pair were the successful winners of Stonefields’ second annual Charity Event Giveaway.

Heritage garden party to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters Aug. 16 Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

The lush landscape of Stonefields Heritage Farm in Beckwith will provide the perfect backdrop for the Heritage Garden Party fundraiser in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters Sunday, Aug. 16.

The outdoor affair, a joint effort between Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations in Lanark County and Ottawa, runs from 2 to 5 p.m. and was made possible through Stonefields’ second annual Charity Event Giveaway.

In 2014, the event destination’s owners Stephanie Brown and Steve Malenfant dreamed up the initiative as a way of giving back to the community. Valued at up to $30,000, the giveaway not only provides the use of Stonefields’ expansive grounds, but a selection of their exclusive vendors, including food and serving staff from Thyme & Again Creative Catering, Temples + Taste and The Mixing Bowl; as well as music and sound equipment from Quality Entertainment; Mastermind Event Rentals will provide linens and décor; dishware will be on loan from Prior Engagements; Mill Street Florist will handle flowers; photography services will be offered by Union Eleven Photographers; and a limousine will be provided

by East Coast Limos. This means all proceeds go directly to the charities.

The two organizations submitted a joint application earlier this year and received the news they were the lucky slip

drawn in March.

According to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County executive director Jennifer Miller, they didn’t expect to be chosen, but soon got to work on an idea for their fundraiser that began with a tour of Stonefields.

“It’s so beautiful. I’d never been there before and I understand it’s one of the oldest homesteads in Lanark County,” she said. “It’s stunning and we are really fortunate to have won the giveaway.” “…It was neat to have been chosen and I hope there was something about the way we told our story in that application that struck a chord,” Miller added.

After seeing the farm’s grounds, the inspiration for the event wasn’t far behind, said Miller.

“We met with Stonefields to come up with an idea and the Ottawa agency has some really great connections and we threw out a few different ideas before settling on this (garden party),” she commented. “It was really based and inspired on how stunning the facility is.”

The garden party, to be held outdoors under Stonefields’ tent, will feature different food and refreshments stations, designed for guests to mix and mingle. Also included in the afternoon is live music from local bands as well as an art sale and silent auction.

“We received a really large donation of artwork this spring, so we’re going to be selling those pieces and having a silent auction to highlight the event,” Miller noted.

Big Brothers Big Sisters isn’t a government-funded agency so fundraisers such as this are even more vital to providing mentoring opportunities to youth in Lanark County.

“Some municipalities do support us now and again and this year we received a bit of funding from Lanark County for the first time, so we have to raise money to do our mentoring programs for kids,” Miller explained, adding that initiatives such as their Bowl for Kids’ Sake, Golf for Kids’ Sake and Jewel’s thrift stores allow them to “diversify their funding sources.”

“We have gone from serving 51 kids to 515 kids in eight years.

That’s huge,” she continued.

“And all of the volunteers mentoring those kids go through interviews and a screening process so we have to have trained social service workers to do that.”

Tickets for the garden party are going fast with each Big Brothers Big Sisters organization having a limited number to sell. They are $30 each (or $200 for a table of eight) and are only available in advance.

“The great thing is that the whole amount comes back to us and it could be a great afternoon out at a place you haven’t seen before,” Miller said. “…

We’re hoping for a good turnout so (Stonefields) can see their investment had an impact.”

To purchase them, call 613283-0570 or buy them online at www.bbbso.ca. Stonefields Heritage Farm is located at 1985 9th Line in Beckwith, off of Highway 15.

Opening ceremonies begin at noon Saturday followed by Irish Roots. This trio plays a mix of Celtic, Irish and East Coast, so get your jig on and come on down!

Enjoy some eco-fun with Andrea “The Bug Lady” Howard. Whether ‘big on bugs’ or not kids young and old are sure to enjoy The Bug Lady and her amazing Museum in a Suitcase.

He’s not Bill Nye, but he’s a science guy. Come meet Merrickville’s own Dr. FourFace. He is children’s entertainment at its very best. Laugh and learn with Dr. FourFace Saturday 10:00am - 12:00pm.

Sunday afternoon welcome the return of Big Band Ottawa bringing swinging jazz to Merricklville.

Merrickville’s own Off the Cuff is featured Monday afternoon playing all our favourite rock and roll hits (Merrickvile Lions provides some courtesy seating from Event Centre in Elgin).

The extremely popular, and free, Voyageur Canoe rides from Rideau Round Table offer hands on the paddle experience out to the Rideau Bird Sanctuary. Along with a lesson in local history from authentically dressed voyageurs, participants enjoy the comradely achievement of a single goal and a very unique view of the Rideau waterway. (Paddles, lifejackets, and lessons are provided.)

Of great interest to many, and a returning favourite, see The Rideau Nautical Modellers in the canal basin behind the Merrickville United Church.

The Merrickville Lions wish to thank Merrickville/Wolford shops and businesses and the Corporation of the Village of Merrickville/Wolford for their support and for welcoming visitors to Merrickville for this amazing free celebration of all things canal.

The Year of the Grizzly: NDP leader tests campaign on barnstorming tour Desmond Peter Devoy

(Editor’s Note: The Oct. 19 federal election will be the first time our occasional columnist, Desmond Peter Devoy, will vote in a national vote in Canada.

After having seen Liberal leader Justin Trudeau in action this past January at a press conference and rally in his London, Ont., hometown, as part of his ongoing series looking at the four major parties running in English-speaking Canada, Devoy caught up with New Democratic Party leader Thomas Mulcair as he made a pre-campaign blitz of several ridings in southern Ontario, including London.)

Better a wheel falls off the bus now, during the dress rehearsal, than during the big show when the election gets called.

In the midst of a hot summer, politicians usually take to the barbecue circuit to connect with voters, and trot out trial balloons.

But for NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, his recent pre-election tour of southern Ontario was a chance to do a dry run for this fall’s federal vote.

He’s come a long way from this time last year when Justin Trudeau was relishing his poll numbers – an extended summer fling that has since turned cold, with the Liberals now languishing in third place.

It’s been a big change for Justin.

In his book, The Presidents and The

NDP supporters applaud the arrival of their leader, Centre on July 23. Mulcair was on a pre-campaign Tom Mulcair, to the stage at the London Convention blitz in southern Ontario.

Prime Ministers: Washington and Ottawa Face to Face: the Myth of Bilateral Bliss 1867-1982, author Lawrence Martin wrote of an interesting, and somewhat prophetic exchange between Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and U.S. President Richard Nixon at a summit meeting in Ottawa in April of 1972.

“Nixon…had telephoned the prime minister on Christmas Day (1971) to

congratulate him on the birth of his first son Justin, and now he raised a glass and said: ‘Tonight we’ll dispense with the formalities. I’d like to toast the future Prime Minister of Canada – Justin Trudeau.’ Should Justin ever become prime minister, Trudeau replied, ‘I hope he has the grace and skill of the president.’”

Until recently, it seemed that Nix-

on had been quite prescient, as Justin Trudeau’s undoubted charisma gave him a strong lead in the polls. Prime Minister Stephen Harper seemed to be merely marking time, saying little in order to avoid making waves, hoping to cruise to success in October on his past record.

He even opted out of participating in public debates (run by a consortium of broadcasters: CBC, CTV and Global)

just as his British counterpart, David Cameron had done, during the British general election this past May. Trailing in the polls was NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, the intellectual pit bull, so skilled at skewering Harper with his prosecutorial questioning. Being Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition seemed to be the perfect fit for Mulcair, as he always held the prime minister accountable for his actions.

Nobody expected the NDP, with their traditional tax-and-spend policies, to come from behind in the election race.

But then in May, Rachel Notley seized power for the NDP in Alberta, cannily positioning her party slightly to the leftof-centre. Mulcair’s popularity rose, as he continually badgered the prime minister about what he saw as the civil liberty curtailments of Bill C-51. The NDP leader shed some of his gravitas, and began smiling more in public.

This easygoing approach contrasts greatly with Mulcair’s traditional methods, when one of his mottos was: “Hit to hurt.” His quick temper wasn’t because of personal aggrandizement, but was rather the result of his impatience to right perceived wrongs suffered by ordinary citizens. Mulcair’s wife, Catherine Pinhas, has said that her husband is kind and shy, but adds: “Thank God” he has a quick temper, as issues emerge that Mulcair needs to address. “There See MULCAIR page 6

covered many of the causes that NDP supporters are passionate about, but which detractors feel are unaffordable.

If elected, he would increase the federal minimum wage to $15 and make child-care available at $15 per day, per child.

He’d reduce the retirement age from 67, back down to 65.

He’d enhance public transit and crumbling infrastructure and make housing more affordable. The biggest cheer of the evening came when he promised to halt Canada Post’s plan to stop mailbox delivery and to restore it to those who’d recently lost it.

Even though he said he’d continue to work with “our friends in labour,” Mulcair is no far-left ideologue. He pointed out that “small business creates 80 per cent of new jobs,” so he promised to reduce the small business tax burden from 11 per cent to nine per cent.

“For the first time in our country’s history,” he noted, “children will be worse off (when they become adults) than their parents.” Mulcair wants to “repair the damage that Stephen Harper has done and set Canada on the right path.” Pausing for effect, he smiled: “Okay…the LEFT path.”

Mulcair is an honest, caring, hard-working intelligent man, who works tirelessly to make the world a fairer, better place.

After his speech, he allowed ample time for glad-handing and selfie-taking, an apparently mandatory ritual at today’s political rallies.

In 1992 (and to a lesser extent, 1996) independent candidate Ross Perot split the rightwing vote in the U.S., taking important votes away from incumbent President George H. W. Bush and, in 1996, Bob Dole. Some claim that these ‘lost’ votes were sufficient to put Democrat Bill Clinton ‘over the top’, and secure electoral victory. In the 2014 Ontario provincial election, the ‘anyone but Tim Hudak’ camp helped to propel Kathleen Wynne back into the premier’s seat. In 2015, Trudeau and Mulcair could split the left-of-centre vote, leaving the way clear for Harper to regain his crown.

On the other hand…If Thomas Mulcair had remained moodily in the background, it’s possible that Richard Nixon’s prediction about Justin Trudeau, made 43 years ago, might have come to pass. Now, with the NDP leader re-energized and regenerated, 2015 could turn out to be, surprisingly, The Year of the Grizzly, after all.

are things that happen that somebody has to be mad and say it and change it.”

Even when he breezed past parliamentary security on June 13, 2013, and asked an RCMP officer: “Don’t you know who I am?” (Mulcair later apologized), he wasn’t trumpeting his own personal importance, but had mistakenly thought he’d been recognized as he entered. (Other politicians have attempted to breach Commons security including, in 2010, a golf-shirt-wearing NepeanCarleton MP Pierre Poilievre, now the employment and social development minister.)

Still, it’s no wonder that, in mid-1990s Quebec, Mulcair was crowned with the nickname “The Grizzly,” as he constantly launched unrelenting attacks against his separatist foes at the National Assembly.

In the Oct. 19 federal election, 338 seats are being contested, more than a third of them in Ontario. On July 20, Mulcair began an eight-day swing through Ontario, and on July 23, he pulled into London.

Before his arrival, one wondered how Mulcair’s hustings spiel would measure up to Justin Trudeau’s sojourn in the Forest City. During that visit, it had seemed that Trudeaumania had been born anew, as the Liberal leader charmed and cajoled an adoring crowd at the Ukrainian Centre hall. Could Mulcair be equally effective, galvanizing an apathetic electorate to take a chance on Tom? As Mulcair had to visit 18 cities during his eight-day tour, his campaign was, out of necessity, comparatively rushed.

Back in January, Trudeau had been attending the Liberal winter caucus in London, and had ample time to hold a noon press conference midweek.

This gave the media enough time to collate their information and present it on the evening news.

Mulcair had no time to meet separately with the media. As he had to visit two (or more) cities daily, the town first visited each day became the default locale for news dissemination. This happened on July 23 in Amherstburg, Ont., when Mulcair responded to an earlier Trudeau announcement from Winnipeg, where the Liberal leader had nixed talk of a formal coalition with the NDP. Mulcair replied that: “We’ve always worked with others in the past,” and that defeating the Conservatives remained a priority.

Even though participants

of Mulcair’s hour-long rally had been asked to pre-register, there was no cross-referencing at the door of London’s Convention Centre, as Trudeau’s troops had done. Nonetheless, both parties were in possession of all attendees’ email addresses, which were used for constant follow-up contact, as the parties solicited volunteers and input.

The warm-up act of the evening was Irene Mathyssen, the MP for London-Fanshawe, who continued with the digital-age barrage. The event was being streamed live online, so she urged the boisterous crowd to take out their cell phones yet again.

“I know you have them,” she joked. “They’ve been flashing at me all evening.”

She also urged their friends at home to watch. “Please share every post,” Mathyssen continued, and if tweeting, “include the hashtag #TMforPM.” Twice during Mathyssen’s speech, the NDP sign which fronted the lectern, fell down, and a technician finally made adequate repairs. Was this an omen, a portent that the wheels would fall off the NDP bus?

More likely, it was simply a consequence of props being hurriedly moved from one location to the next, day after day.

Supporters, holding aloft two-sided posters (Tom Mulcair NDP/Ready for Change), were politely asked not to hold their signs over their heads during Mulcair’s speech, as that would impair visual access to the teleprompter, at the back of the room. Which begs the question: why would Mulcair want/need such a device, when he reputedly has such an agile, quick mind? (One can understand former actor and U.S. President Ronald Reagan being comfortable with being prompted, but not the NDP’s intellectual dynamo.) Admittedly, spending eight long, event-filled days campaigning could cause one’s mind to go occasionally blank, and the teleprompter might have been just the subtle device needed to bring one back on track.

After numerous build-up speeches, Mulcair made his entrance, looking slightly rumpled yet dignified, a man who would look equally at home in a truck stop or a boardroom.

He lacks Trudeau’s innate charisma, yet he projected an approachable likeability, and even made a humorous and slightly self-deprecating remark about his one-off “job” as a weatherman during a recent visit to a Hamilton television station.

Keep your pets cool and safe this summer with campaign quickly become much hotter than the temperature outside.

When your pet is left unattended in a hot vehicle, it’s not just uncomfortable for them – it’s life threatening.

Dogs in particular have very limited ability to sweat.

Even a short period in a hot environment can cause suffering and distress and could result in brain damage or death. Excessive panting, drooling and listlessness are signs of heatstroke in animals. If you witness these signs in your pet, seek veterinary attention immediately, move the animal to a cool area and offer it drinking water.

This summer, take the OSPCA #nohotpets pledge to not leave your pet in a vehicle. You can also help spread the word by tweeting with the #nohotpets hashtag.

“Our pets depend on us for their health and safety. I encourage all Ontarians to sign the no hot pets pledge and remember that when you’re out taking advantage of the attractions and activities that Ontario has to offer this summer – don’t forget

Prevent crime at your home The following are tips from Lanark County Crime Stoppers to help prevent your home being the target of a crime: • Lock all doors and windows before leaving the house.

• Do not display gifts where they can be seen from a window or doorway.

• Before going out in the evening, turn on lights and a radio so the house looks occupied.

• If going on an extended vacation, get neighbours to watch your house, shovel snow, pick up newspapers and park their car in the driveway

from time to time.

• Make sure items like DVD players, stereos, cameras, microwaves, etc. are marked with a unique identification number to help police recover them in case of theft.

• Be wary of strangers coming to the door asking for charitable donations. Ask for identification, if the donations are tax deductible, and how the funds are going to be used.

If you aren’t satisfied with the answer, do not contribute.

• Beware of package deliveries where the couriers have the wrong address. Write down tag numbers of suspicious delivery attempts.

your pet – bring your pet with you when you leave your vehicle or leave them at home,” said Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

If you come across an unattended vehicle with an animal inside that appears to be in distress, act quickly and report it to the OSPCA at 310-OSPCA

(7722). You can also contact your local police service or your local OSPCA. Leaving a pet unattended in a vehicle could result in charges being laid against you under the OSPCA Act and/ or the Criminal Code of Canada.

The summer means spending more quality time out and about with pets, but each year across the province, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) receives hundreds of reports of animals left unattended in parked vehicles.

When driving with your pet, remember they need to go with you when you leave your vehicle. If your pet cannot accompany you, make sure to leave them at home were they will be safe, cool and comfortable.

“Leaving your pet unattended in a vehicle is one of the most irresponsible decisions a pet owner can make.

Your pet’s safety is your responsibility. Placing them in a dangerous environment could not only be harmful, it could result in the animal owner being charged as well as being fatal to the animal,” stated Ontario SPCA chief inspector Connie Mallory.

“Let’s make this summer a happy one for all of our family members, including our pets.”

On a hot day, the temperature inside your vehicle will

Hot enough for you?

h, summer. For many it’s the best time of year with balmy temperatures and lazy days at the cottage, but this week, those temperatures are no laughing matter.

Due to the scorching conditions forecasted for this week (where the humidex could push past 40 degrees Celsius), the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has issued a heat alert.

Just like extreme cold weather conditions can have an effect on your health, so too can the high heat. It can cause heat exhaustion, dehydration, heatstroke and quite possibly, death.

According to the health unit, seniors, those with chronic illnesses, children and individuals who work outside for prolonged periods are most at risk, but it’s important for us all to exercise caution during these heat waves.

Just like you wouldn’t enjoy an hour-long walk outside in frigid -30 temperatures, you shouldn’t do that in these situations either.

So what can you do? Make sure to drink plenty of water, wear light-coloured, loose fitting clothing, keep the lights turned down, eat foods with high water content, visit the pool or beach to cool off, draw the shades at

home, avoid heavy meals and turning on the oven (or using electric lights), but essentially, take it easy. For those who work outside during the summer that can be easier said than done, however, they should take extra breaks, seek shade and have plenty of fluids on hand.

Pets should also be considered during heat alerts. Make sure you leave them at home with plenty of water, rather than bringing them with you to sit in the car. The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) recently launched its No Hot Pets Campaign for the summer, urging people to report pets they see locked up in hot cars. They encourage the use of social media, tagging photos with #nohotpets to hammer the message home. The same rules apply to your children. You wouldn’t sit inside a hot car, so don’t make your loved ones suffer either.

If you find you are suffering symptoms from extreme heat such as nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, severe headaches, convulsion, difficulty breathing or fever, seek medical attention immediately.

By staying safe and keeping certain tips in mind, we can all beat the heat this summer.

Audrey shared with Mary her specific ritual for special prayers For reasons unknown to me at the time, my older sister Audrey, when she had special prayers she felt needed to be sent to God, insisted I kneel with her on the braided rug beside our bed. These were prayers over and above those we had already said at our Mother’s knee at bedtime.

I dared to ask Audrey one time why her special prayers couldn’t be included then and her short retort made it perfectly clear why.

“Certainly not. That’s all I need is for Emerson to hear what my special prayers were and all of Renfrew County would know about them before the sun set the next day.”

And so, when the need arose, I was asked to join Audrey on the braided rug, and when I

asked her why she couldn’t pray on her own, she said she learned at Sunday School that there was ‘safety in numbers’.

I had no idea what she meant.

But Audrey, who did many special favours for me, had a willing partner on the braided rug when she needed it. Questioning the why’s and the wherefore’s was not to concern me.

And so, I found myself praying with Audrey for things, which had nothing to do with me whatsoever. This could be anything from being allowed

to wear high heels, to finding money for a store-bought bra, to being asked to go to the strawberry social at the United Church. I thought that last prayer was pushing her luck, since we were Lutherans, but there we were one night, both on our knees by the bed and Audrey in barely a whisper, asking God to find someone to ask her to the strawberry social at the United Church.

Well, any doubts I may have been harbouring were soon cast aside when a young man from the Barr Side Road asked her to the social! I couldn’t believe it!

And Audrey leaned over to me after hanging up the phone and said, “See...safety in numbers.”

Long before Audrey got out of public school, we prayed that when the time came, she would

graduate from the Entrance Class. Well, I thought that was a needless prayer, since she was just about the smartest one at the Northcote School! But she wanted to be sure, as those farm girls who didn’t make it out of the Entrance Class, ended up

doing housework for the rich people in Renfrew. Audrey couldn’t think of a worse fate!

More than once I was caught with my mind somewhere else too. Audrey had always instructed me to keep close attention to what she was saying and

I was to repeat the prayer silently to myself. I can no longer remember what the prayer was about, but my mind certainly was not on what Audrey was praying for that night.

My sister poked me in the ribs, which was my cue to say, “please God, hear our prayer.” As soon as Audrey’s elbow connected with me, I tried in vain to remember what we had been praying for, and for the life of me, couldn’t bring up one word Audrey had said. She had to repeat the prayer, which didn’t please her one bit.

Audrey’s prayers could be long, depending on what she had on her ‘want list’. That’s when I lost track of what she was praying for. I could see no reason why she had to go into such detail with her prayers, convinced as I was that, as long as you let God know it was you, He would take care of the rest...all you had to do, I thought then, was to think of the

prayer and that was as good as saying it. However, I was never able to get Audrey into that way of thinking about prayer.

She said too, it would be much better, if after the prayers were over, we both said “Amen” at the exact same time. I thought this was just another way of my sister making sure I was paying attention to what she was praying for.

And then one night, the end of our praying together just about came to an end. That was the night Audrey was praying at great length, about what, I no longer remember. She had come to a pause and it was long enough for me to think we were all finished, and so I let out a loud “Amen”. Well, did that open a can of worms. Audrey said she was just pausing, she wasn’t fin-

ished, and I had jumped the gun with the Amen, and so we had to say the prayer all over again.

My sister eventually came to the conclusion that unless I was listening, paying attention, repeating the prayers where necessary, she was better off if she prayed alone. That was a good decision, I thought. It didn’t stop Audrey from getting down on the rug in front of our bed when the need arose. It just meant that what she was saying and thinking was between her and God and she didn’t need a fidgeting sixyear-old sister to interfere.

have identified on a list as areas of high physician need. A number of communities in eastern Ontario are on the list – Port Hope, Prescott, and Pembroke, for example.

The problem is many people mistakenly believe if their community is on the list it will make attracting doctors easier. With the province cutting from 40 to 20 the number of physicians who can join these models, it will not be easier to attract doctors to

your community.

There are nearly 200 communities across the province on the list so South Dundas and Smiths Falls are competing with these other communities – places like Kitchener and parts of Toronto – for doctors. The reality is there is a need for family doctors in communities across the province.

The Merchant of Venice: a summer classic that outdoes itself

Submitted photo

Laughter, drama and pageantry at Full Circle Theatre: BarnDoor Productions’ The Merchant of Venice caps a season of exciting theatre with a piece of classic drama filled with comedy, dram, colourful costumes and exciting performances, as the show concludes Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. this week. ture of silent moroseness in black velvet, a man whose disaffection with life leads him to a foolish bargain and a near calamitous end.

The real-life married couple of Chris and Kristy Angel are Bassanio and Portia, two of Shakespeare’s most intense lovers. There’s no doubt that Bassanio is in love with Portia, but it is a touch of true Shakespeareanism that he first makes sure that she is rich. Told that her new husband has borrowed a staggering 3,000 ducats that is now overdue, Portia replies “What, no more? Pay the petty debt and be done!” Bassanio faints into his friend’s arms as he realizes how much money he has married into.

Portia, of course, is the Bard’s protofeminist character. Calling herself “unschooled, untaught,” she then (spoiler alert, if you didn’t take Grade 11 English) disguises herself as a man and, dressed in lawyer’s robes and an hilariously false mustache and goatee, runs legal rings around the men in the play in the famous courtroom scene. Kristy goes from intense passion with soliloquies like “How all other passions do fleet to air” to grave demeanour with the legendary “The quality of mercy is not strained” – a speech doubly difficult because it is so well known. And then the pair cap of the play with a final scene that is as much fun as the courtroom scene was dramatic.

This leaves the character that, to modern eyes, has become the play’s central character – and still one of the theatre’s most controversial. Joe Laxton gives us a Shylock that goes from the height of rage to the depth of despair. Told of his daughter’s elopement with much of his treasure, he wails “A diamond lost…” and we think it’s his daughter, “…cost me two thousand ducats in Genoa” – and we know where his mind is. “Hath not a Jew eyes, hands, organs, dimensions?” he asks, in Shakespeare’s famous speech that must have shocked the English playgoers in 1596. Then, in the courtroom scene, when Portia has kicked the legal props from under him and taken away his wealth, his house and his religion, his final “I…am…content” twists the audience again and the man who

was the villain of the piece is now the one we pity. He’s a good playwright, that young Shakespeare kid.

The Merchant of Venice is a play of many levels and BarnDoor Productions’ new staging of the show captures them all in a lively, exciting and energetic style. Each of the productions in this past 20th anniversary season has been hailed as some variation on “the best show ever.” That the first audience comment on this final production of the season was “You’ve outdone yourself!” gives an indication of the strength of this summer

classic from a company that has been presenting classic theatre for 20 years.

The Merchant of Venice concludes its run this week with performances July 30, 31 and Aug. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 2 at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved; $22 at the door; students just $10. To reserve, call 613-267-1884. Cash at the performance is requested.

All performances are at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park.

R0013395745_0730

The first comment from an audience member on opening night was “You’ve outdone yourself!” Coming at the culmination of a season that drew superlative comments for each production, that’s high praise.

The show is BarnDoor Productions’ The Merchant of Venice, which opened last Friday at Full Circle Theatre in Perth.

William Shakespeare’s 1596 comedy is one of his most challenging and controversial and Perth’s original community theatre takes on the challenge in fine style.

First up for the audience is a multilevel set that provides a “classic” backdrop to the action of the play. It’s based on a small 15th century church in Venice, where the play is set. With multiple entrances, the famous Shakespearean “inner stage” and lots of playing space, it lets the action flow smoothly from scene to scene and gives a few surprises of its own.

Next to hit the viewer is a set of stunning original costumes for the show.

Designed by Marilyn Bird, they recreate some of the fashions of Renaissance Italy in brocades, velvets and satiny textures that flow and shimmer. Set in a period where both sexes wore flowing gowns, the costumes provide a stateliness to the actors’ movements that give the show authenticity.

Finally, against a soundscape of Renaissance lute and vocal music, the cast of ten provide intense, energetic performances of some of Shakespeare’s most beautiful – and most difficult – words.

John Stephen and Brandon Halladay are Salanio and Salario – the Salads, as they are nicknamed in Shakespearean circles. They provide the necessary information for the plot in fine style, aided by the comic incongruence of their sizes.

Mr. Stephen is a smaller man; Mr. Halladay is a mountain and the show gets lots of fun from that.

Ian Jenner’s turn as Launcelot Gobbo provides some of the most fun in the show, aided by John Stephen again, doubling as Old Gobbo. The physical fun of their meeting includes some roughhouse and some pratfalls that keep the audience laughing.

Julia Bryant doubles as two-thirds of the female cast, playing both the wisecracking Nerissa and the earnestly-inlove Jessica. In truth, the production has been trimmed for both time and convenience and the love story of Jessica and Lorenzo has been pared away to the bare necessities – Lorenzo never actually appears! However, the play suffers not at all for that, moving quickly and clearly along.

Scott Duncan is given, not just double, but triple duty, playing the fast-talking Gratiano, the bombastic Prince of Morocco and the vain-glorious Prince of Aragon. As Gratiano, he gets his girl, but as the two Princes, he goes away emptyhanded, but the audience gets a full portion of fun from all three.

That leaves the four central characters to the plot, all of them intense and difficult roles. David Bird is Antonio, the merchant of Venice, whose generosity nearly costs him his life. Bird is a pic-

Door-to-door mail delivery not an election issue, despite NDP promise The vision of the intrepid letter carrier delivering mail in snow, sleet, rain, wind and scorching heat will soon be assigned to the history books in Canada.

Door-to-door mail delivery is being phased out and in the near future Canadians who live in urban centres and still have their mail delivered to the door will be assigned a box at a common location in their neighbourhood.

The much maligned “Community Mail Box” is in our future, whether we like it or not.

With a federal election looming in October the rhetoric is heating up and the campaign ads are being rolled out. In the coming weeks we are going to be inundated with advertising, especially from the ruling Conservatives, Liberals and New Democrats. Right now the parties are just warming up their public campaigns.

Recently I have been disturbed to see the matter of community mailboxes being turned into a campaign issue by the opposition and other federal parties.

I totally understand that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is going to bear the brunt of criticism for everything that is, or is perceived to be, wrong in the country as well as inside his under fire government. That’s just the way it is.

Prime ministers are always on the firing line and given the Senate scandal and so many other issues of the day it is little wonder this government is being assailed from every direction. So far one of the only things Harper and company haven’t been accused of is starting this summer’s storm of wildfires in western Canada.

But give the critics time. It’s early days yet!

As someone who follows the news and events of the day religiously and has a weekly opportunity to comment on some of them, I can’t let the door-todoor mail delivery firestorm pass without making some observations. This is a pig in a poke if there ever was one. And it certainly isn’t down to Stephen Harper either.

I would much rather examine the facts and try to make an intelligent determination relative to door-to-door mail delivery.

The reality is that two-thirds of Canadians already receive their mail at central distribution points, including the everexpanding legion of community mailboxes.

So, why should all those millions of people subsidize a failing system which, like it or not, has become an unaffordable luxury in the developed world.

Reflections

By Jeff maguire

My wife and I reside in an urban neighbourhood and we have received our mail at the door since door-to-door delivery was instituted in Carleton Place in the 1970s.

Those were heady days for Canada Post. Courier services had not hit their stride, fax machines had yet to be introduced, long distance calling was expensive and, above all, the Internet was unknown.

Massive change Oh how things have changed!

Courier services have taken a huge bite out of postal services across the developed world. In Canada Post’s case it was a matter of “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” Purolator Inc., one of the best known courier services in this country, is now 91 per cent owned by Canada Post Corporation.

While the fax machine still has its function the vast majority of correspondence in Canada and the developed world is via the worldwide web. Today even email is being outstripped by instant message services. People talk to each other by text message or they can directly interface via newer services, including some that allow you to see who you are talking to and what they are doing via built-in cameras.

In today’s world you don’t even have to buy special occasion greeting cards. You can find them online and send them free of charge. The only obstacle is that you will likely be bombarded with advertising as you navigate whatever website you choose. Or you can step up to a higher-level service and pay a nominal price for a more sophisticated instant greeting card.

Letters used to be the stock and trade of our society. Before the advent of the telephone the postal service or telegrams was the only reliable way to communicate with family, friends or businesses in nearby places or more distant locations.

Communications methods of all sorts gradually improved.

Telephone rates slowly became more competitive and eventually boomed with the arrival of firms who offer cut-rate long distance packages.

Then came the biggest development of all, the Internet explo-

sion. For consumers the world is now their oyster. Leading the way are instant messaging services. Today most people can’t go anywhere without taking their handheld device and that in turn has led to a plethora of new social problems, something I won’t go into detail about here. My only comment is that handheld devices have turned far too many of us into extremely rude people.

Postal services worldwide have come under tremendous pressure as surface mail, which was once their primary source of income, continues to dry up. In most developed nations surface mail is now comprised of advertising materials, bank statements and some government communications. Even government cheques are now being direct deposited and soon that method of delivery will be the dominant force.

All of the factors I have referred to – and there are no doubt some I have missed – means that surface mail, irreverently called “snail mail”, has taken a massive hit.

Therefore national postal services have had to join the current trends or be trampled under.

Great Britain’s venerable Royal Mail swam successfully through a sea of red ink before new overnight and same day delivery services hit their stride. The firm is now profitable again.

The same scenario has played out with Canada Post which, aided by faster delivery including Purolator, is working its way into the black.

Meanwhile the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is behind a national campaign to halt the proliferation of group boxes. They are battling for union jobs of course and as a result they also oppose privatization of postal services.

An understandable reaction on their part. But it is a stance that fails to take into account the new normal. Door-to-door mail delivery simply isn’t a money-maker.

In fact it is a major money loser which is exactly why community mailboxes are going to take over everywhere in this country eventually, unions or no unions!

We’ll miss it Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a fan of community boxes. Selfishly we enjoy being among the one-third of Canadians who currently have our mail delivered to the door. In a perfect world it would be nice if we could keep this service. We will definitely

Despite the heat advisory July 26, people gathered at the 20th annual Herbfest at Almonte’s Herb Garden for its final run. Now, after two decades of hosting the festival, the Herb Garden has passed the torch to the Carp Farmers’ Market for the years to come. Attendees this year were treated to live entertainment, plant sales and vendors serving up everything from ice cream to lemonade to help beat the heat.

this service. We will definitely miss our mail carriers who are just nice folks trying to make a living. I have nothing against the union either.

But door-to-door mail delivery isn’t an election issue, nor should it be. Any bean counter anywhere will quickly tell you that the old system has failed and is being replaced, albeit at a ridiculously slow rate in many cases. The only people who refuse to acknowledge that fact are some of those who continue to receive their mail in this fashion and the union which delivers it.

If the Tories are fortunate enough to

Kirkpatrick, director of marketing for the Canadian Cancer Society in Ontario.

“And those friends egging you on with donations will also be supporting a great cause – helping people with cancer to confront their fears.”

The Fearless Challenge, in its second year, is throwing down the gauntlet at the feet of all Canadians, with the hope of engaging people from all communities, including those who may never have supported a charitable cause. No fear is too big, too small, too silly or too squeamish.

be re-elected the community mailbox program will go ahead. And believe me, no matter what some of them are saying the community mailbox is also the course of action a Liberal government would follow.

It is possible the NDP, caught up in the euphoria of their newfound popularity (bred largely from discontent with the governing Conservatives and the wayward Liberal Party) may try to hold up this process in order to win some more votes. Eventually though they too will be persuaded that this process is inevitable.

Free door-to-door mail delivery simply isn’t viable in this day and age

and the tide in the direction of community mailboxes is irreversible.

Chin up though folks. Group mail boxes aren’t the end of the world.

Most are just down the street. And who knows, maybe instead of being glued to their portable devices many Canadians will be forced to look up for a few minutes, walk the short distance to the community mailbox and interact directly with their neighbours.

Pie in the sky? Well, it’s only a thought really!

From creepy crawlers to using public restrooms, nine out of 10 Canadians admit to having fears no matter how irrational, and two-thirds have actively tried to get rid of them, according to a new survey for the Fearless Challenge, a fundraising initiative launched by the Canadian Cancer Society.

Snakes are the most common fear among both sexes, with 46 per cent of women and 33 per cent of men recoiling at the thought of meeting one. Turns out clowns are getting a bad rap – twice as many Canadians are scared of getting a bad haircut than meeting Bozo, 11 per cent versus six per cent.

The top five fears are snakes (40 per cent), heights (34 per cent), public speaking (33 per cent), spiders (31 per cent) and natural disasters (30 per cent).

Surprises include the fact that young people are definitely not fearless – 68 per cent of Canadians 18 to 34 say they worry about their fears, compared with 43 per cent of those 55-plus.

Overall, 62 per cent of Canadian adults have taken steps to rid themselves of their fears, using various approaches, but the survey shows the most popular and effective tactic is confronting them head-on, with a 72 per cent success rate.

“The Fearless Challenge is all about confronting a fear in a fun way that can be shared with friends,” says Mike

Garage sale to benefit LAWS set for Aug. 15 in Perth This Week’s Pets

A garage sale to benefit LAWS, organized by Evergreen Concepts, will be held Saturday, Aug. 15 from 8 a.m. to noon at 420 Leachs Road (corner of Highway 7).

Donations of gently-used treasures will be accepted until Saturday, Aug. 8. Please call 613-267-6721 for more information.

This week’s featured pets Kittens, kittens, kittens At LAWS we have a large variety of long, short, medium hair, orange, black, grey, brown, white, and apricot kittens. Some came with moms, some were born at the shelter some were just dropped off without moms. Staff and volunteers helped with bottlefeeding many of them. Some required a bottle or syringe with special cat formula every hour.

More than two-dozen sweet little curious faces are now looking to go home soon.

They are small rambunctious, playful, purring and absolutely adorable healthy creatures.

We’re sure they’ll make you smile every day and will get you hopping through your house to chase them.

Most of them are litter box trained already, love to eat and love to goof around with each other. It’s fun for you and your family to see them grow into adulthood. Choosing two of them is no more work than having one. They keep each other company, entertained and exercised while you’re away at work. All kittens come with spay/neuter vouchers. Please come to meet them at LAWS. We’re open for cat adoptions daily between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

We had a very good time. I am now back at LAWS with the intent to find my forever home soon. I am very affectionate and constantly wagging my tail. Although I’m bashful when I first meet you, I warm up quickly. I get along well with other dogs and hardly ever bark. They tell me I’m a real cutie and would be the perfect addition to any family.

The following is the first in a series of monthly articles on local museums within Lanark County. It is being offered in partnership with the Lanark County Museums Network.

I volunteer at the Middleville and District Museum, and I hear it all the time: “My goodness! What an amazing place! This is my first time here, and I’m coming back next week with my cousin... she’ll just love it!’

There’s a reason for that kind of enthusiasm. The museum’s collection of local historical items is unique, because each and every item has been donated, and comes complete with family stories about who made it and how it was passed down through the generations.

There’s the actual buggy that brought mail to the district’s settlers a hundred winters ago; the hand tools used by the local carpenter to build furniture, wagons and houses in the days before power; plows, seeders, scythes and other early farm-

ing equipment that made it possible for people to survive; and an actual settlers’ cabin, completely furnished, that brings the realities of long ago daily life vividly to mind.

Think about it: in those days, most women and girls knew how to spin wool or flax into yarn – but few of them understood the complexities of weaving, nor did they have room in their tiny houses for a bulky loom. So, sitting near the stove, the women would spin yarn during the long cold winters. In spring, as soon as the muddy roads became passable, the itinerant weaver would drive up, his loom taken apart and stacked in his wagon.

He would stop at each household on his route, asking if there was weaving to be done. He’d be invited in, given the skeins of yarn that had been spun, and told the family’s cloth requirements.

He’d unload his loom, peg it all back together, and set to work – perhaps for a few days, maybe for a week or so. The family would give him room

and board, and as he worked he’d tell them the news of the families he’d stopped at along the way. When he’d finished the weaving, he’d dismantle his loom and put it back in his wagon; the family would pay him for his work, and he’d proceed to the next household.

Want to see an actual loom that travelled that road? The Middleville Museum has a travelling loom – it still works – complete with the story of the weaver who owned it and his photograph.

And that’s just skimming the surface.

The museum has an amazing collection of local family histories, including land-ownership records, family Bibles, and genealogies. Much of it has been computerized, and the information can be made available to descendants and other interested people. Please call and make an appointment with David Murdoch, who volunteers his knowledge of family histories at the museum.

As well, once each month of the season, the museum hosts

a special event. On Sunday, Aug. 9, we’ve invited Dan Hagan, a ‘safecracker,’ to open our enormous old safe (a safe that once belonged to the municipal hall in Middleville) whose combination has been lost in time.

What will we find? Perhaps some old money, no longer legal tender? A gold watch that was to be given to an employee on his retirement? Stock certificates for a defunct corporation?

You never know. Come and watch with bated breath!

And remember that the museum has several items for sale: tickets for Little Princess - Poster_Layout 1 19/06/2015 4:43 AM Page 1

the annual Quilt Raffle (to be drawn at the Fall Fair in September); Claudia Smith’s wonderful collection of stories, gathered from descendants of this area’s original settlers; museum T-shirts, which always attract attention; and several other books and monographs of local historic interest.

The museum is open Friday through Sunday, and holiday Mondays, from Victoria Day to Labour Day; hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, see our website: http://middlevillemuseum.blogspot. ca/ or call 613-259-5462.

Emergency preparedness tips for summer storm season from Hydro One As the temperature rises along with the humidity so does the risk of summer thunderstorms. Hydro One wants to remind customers of the importance of being prepared for an extended outage.

The company created an emergency preparedness video to educate customers on what they should have in a 72hour kit at home.

“Our Grid Control Centre monitors weather across the province so that we can prepare and have crews in position

to respond to any outages,” said Tom Kydd, vice-president, lines and forestry, Hydro One. “While we do everything we can to keep the lights on and get them back on should they go out, we want to help educate our customers on what they should have on-hand in case of an extended outage as well as the outage notification tools available to them.”

For outage updates, visit Hydro One’s Storm Center or download the

free mobile app available for smartphones and tablet devices. These tools allow customers to check the status of power outages anywhere in Hydro One’s service area and receive helpful tips and news.

Last winter, Hydro One announced the launch of a pilot of its Outage Notification tool. This new service allows Hydro One residential customers to register in advance to receive proactive, personalized text messages or email

alerts about outages that may be affecting their homes, cottages, farms or small businesses.

More than 132,000 residential customers in the following areas were invited to register for the pilot through Hydro One’s MyAccount portal for the new Outage Notification service: Alliston, Dundas, Orangeville, Bolton, Guelph, Thorold and Simcoe. The pilot area will be expanded over the next month to include most of the province.

Ben and Anita Taves of Kingsville, Ont., are posing with pride alongside their mint original 1968 Buick Wildcat 2-door hardtop with a 430 cubic inch V8 under the hood. This car attracts admiration wherever they go.

The photo was taken at the Sun Parlor Home for Seniors Classic Car Show in Leamington on Thursday, June 11. The event was a great success with 46 vintage vehicles showing up for the viewing pleasure of the Sun Parlor residents, who were thrilled to see so many vehicles from years gone by.

Among the organizers of this event were Ben and Anita’s son Dave Taves, himself a great classic car enthusiast with several automotive projects on the go at home, and his wife Michelle, who works at the Sun Parlor Home.

Twenty years ago, Ben and his son Dave drove to Ottawa to purchase a 1955 Chevrolet sta-

tion wagon. When they got there, they discovered the vehicle needed too much work. Heading toward home empty-handed, they picked up a copy of the Auto Trader and saw an ad in the Hamilton area for a low-mileage 1968 Buick Wildcat 2-door hardtop with the original blue finish and 32,000 miles on the odometer. Anita bought it as a Christmas present for her husband Ben in 1995, and at Christmas this year, they will celebrate twenty years of ownership.

Buick has used the “Wildcat” name for five concept vehicles, three in the early ‘50s, one in 1980

and another in 1997. The 1953 Wildcat I, 1954 Wildcat II, and 1955 Wildcat III were all designed under the guidance of Harley Earl, chief stylist at GM for many years.

The Wildcat I and II still exist today.

The 1953 Wildcat I appeared the same year that Buick switched from straight eight to V8 engines in the Super and Roadmaster series (the Special kept the straight eight for one more year). Buick could now compete with the new overhead-valve V8s launched in 1949

by Cadillac and Oldsmobile.

As a regular production car, the

Wildcat name goes back to 1962, when GM unleashed this luxury hardtop in the Buick Invicta series. So popular was the Wildcat that it replaced the Invicta name on nearly all Buicks for 1963, and the Invicta name was soon dropped.

For 1968, the Wildcat had sculptured side trim reminiscent of the sweep-spear styling of Buicks in the ‘50s.

The last year for Wildcat was 1970, after which it was replaced by the Buick Centurion. All Buick Wildcats are highly prized collectibles today.

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Information sought in Rideau Ferry Road home invasion Police are seeking assistance from the public to identify the persons responsible for a break, enter and theft at a residence at 1143 Rideau Ferry Road, Drummond/North Elmsley Township.

An unknown person(s) broke into the residence around July 8.

ture. The update can be installed by any authorized FCA retailer or by a product owner themselves by logging onto www. driveuconnect.com and following the ‘software update’ link.

This site also supports less critical updates to FCA entertainment systems so checking it from time to time isn’t a bad idea, especially if your vehicle has experienced any audio system or connectivity problems.

While this event makes for great news coverage and video (you can find the video online at www.wired.com), it really doesn’t yet represent any great risk to vehicle drivers. The talent it took was almost immeasurable (one of the two geeks was a former National Security Agency employee). And the value of the end result didn’t come anywhere close to the resources it took to deliver it. If the vehicle belonged to a high profile political target it might have been a different tale. So the average consumer

really shouldn’t lose any sleep. But one consumer upon hearing of this story suggested that automakers should offer something that cell-phones have for years; a setting to disconnect it from any wireless data networks such as required when travelling on a commercial airplane. As for our two hackers, they got exactly what they were after: national media attention in advance of an electronics security conference they are scheduled to appear at next month.

On Sunday, Aug. 2, the Automotion Car Show lands at the Blockhouse Island in Brockville and the 51st version of the Chelrod Car Club Show ‘n’ Shine happens at the Hendrick Farm, 165 Old Chelsea Road in Chelsea, Quebec.

If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@ perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@ hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ in the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

Safety Tips

Oil Lamps: Oil lamps or lanterns provide excellent light but can be a fire hazard if placed too close to combustibles. Keep oil lamps away from combustibles and out of the wind.

The Herb Garden in Almonte hosted its last Herbfest on Sunday, July 26 after 20 years. Now, the Carp Farmers’ Market will take over the event for upcoming years. Here, Gloria Glockling of Gloria’s Fresh Waffles served her traditional Belgian waffles, topped with seasonal fruit and whipped cream.

Cherokee and from a distance of 10 miles (they could have done it from the far side of the globe) were able to activate the AC system, adjust the audio volume, turn on the wipers and washers, disable the transmission and brakes, lock and unlock the doors, turn the steering wheel and shut off the engine. The hapless ‘driver’ in the vehicle was a volunteer that knew about and agreed to the test and while some of the hacks took place while the Jeep was travelling at low speeds in an empty parking lot, most of them happened while the vehicle was travelling on a busy multilane highway in a large urban centre. It would be interesting if this volunteer will face any unsafe driving charges.

Before anyone relaxes and thanks their lucky stars they don’t own a late model Jeep, this type of software intrusion is possible on any vehicle with wireless connectivity and electronic vehicle systems’ controls made by any carmaker, provided the vehicle uses its own Internet connection system and few Canadian vehicles do, but they can be vulnerable when travelling in the US. Fortunately for Fiat Chrysler Auto (the Jeep’s manufacturer) our two geeks immediately contacted the automaker’s head office and met with them to very quickly develop a software patch to protect consumers from such an attack in the fu-

In a recent column we discussed the pros and cons of the headlong drive that most automakers are travelling in towards the smart-phone-like connectivity and functionality of their products. Many consumers such as the one who wrote this letter are concerned that they may not have any choice when purchasing future vehicles save getting one with controls and features beyond their needs or comfort level when it comes to operating those features.

“Mr. Turner, This is just some quick positive feedback on your July 16 column on driving distractions. My wife and I were hoping it wasn’t just us slipping into cranky elderhood thinking that all of these dashboard electronics have to be dangerous. We worry that our next auto purchase would also have to involve taking a degree in electronic engineering and that no automaker would offer the option of an uncluttered dashboard? Does any manufacturer do so?

Again BRAVO for hitting the nail on the head.”

Aliens in form of 1980s video game characters serve up plenty of laughs My Take

Mark haskins

Naturally our best defenders are gamers from the ’80s. Sam brings in Ludlow ‘The Wizard’ Lamonsoff (Josh Gad), and they get the 1982 world video game champion, Eddie ‘The Fire Blaster’ Plant (Peter Dinklage), out of prison. Armed with technology created by Lt. Col. Violet Van Patton (Michelle Monaghan) the three fight real life versions on their favourite video games to save the world.

You don’t walk into a movie like Pixels expecting it to make sense. You walk in expecting to have fun, and Pixels is a lot of fun. Aliens attacking the Earth with 1980s video games like Centipede and Pac-Man doesn’t make sense. Defending the Earth with old video game champions doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Kevin James as President of the United States is hard to wrap your head around. However, all of these things put together are

great excuses for some classic video game action, ’80s pop culture references, and a lot of laughs.

What I like the most about this cast is how they go from wacky and outrageous one minute to saving the world the next. Michelle Monaghan takes charge as a Lt. Col. Patton and scores some laughs playing off of Sandler.

Josh Gad is hysterically funny as a conspiracy theory nut who is finally proven right. I’m not even sure where to begin with Peter Dinklage’s character except to say he is brilliant, and while it may be hard to imagine Kevin James as President I’d vote for him.

Adam Sandler’s fondness for the ’80s makes him an ideal choice for this film. He’s also pretty good at playing that likeable, nice-guy, everyman who’s thrust into an extraordinary situation. He gets the laughs, he gets the girl and he saves the day.

I talked my wife in to seeing this film, and she hates Adam Sandler. This film didn’t change her mind, but she didn’t hate it.

High praise indeed.

R0022940786

MOVIE: Pixels STARRING: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad, Michelle Monaghan and Peter Dinklage DIRECTOR: Chris Columbus RATING: PG Pixels is the first Adam Sandler movie I’ve wanted to see in a long time. It was also the first Adam Sandler movie in a long time that didn’t disappoint.

In 1982 NASA launched a probe into space. It contained examples of human achievement and culture in the hopes that if it reached an alien race it would have an understanding of us. Included in that probe were video games. An alien race did find that probe, and completely misinterpreted it.

In the present day a U.S. Air Force base is attacked by what looks like a 1980s video game called Galaga. President Cooper (Kevin James) turns to the one person he knows can help – his best friend, and the 1982 runner-up in the world video game championships Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler).

The aliens saw those video games as a declaration of war, and they’ve come to our world to battle us at our own games.

11th annual Puppets Up! festival packs 69 performances into three days Kelly Kent

School (ADHS). The students will be performing their own puppet rendition of Peter Pan, which they also performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland last summer.

“It’s a truly student-run show,” Young said, explaining that even the puppets were made by the school’s arts students.

Of course, since a Canadian festival would not be complete without a bilingual show performed in English as well as French, the WP Puppet Theatre from Calgary will put on their show, Pigs in a Canoe and Other Watery Stories, in both official languages.

kkent@metroland.com

It’s that time of year again – the Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival is just around the corner.

From Friday, Aug. 7 to Sunday, Aug. 9 this year, thousands of people will crowd the streets of Almonte’s downtown core for three days of puppet fun during the 11th annual festival, coming from as far away as Iceland.

“I think it’s safe to say that we’re one of the biggest festivals in Mississippi Mills,” said Noreen Young, the festival’s artistic director. “We don’t have an exact number, but we think we bring in around 10,000 people each year.”

Anyone who’s been to Puppets Up! before knows just how big it can get (in fact, it takes more than 250 volunteers to put it together), but this year’s event promises to be even bigger.

“This is the first time we’re having shows on three days,” Young said, explaining that adding the extra day has allowed for several more performances.

“We’re actually having 69 shows in three days. It’s going to be busy.”

Six performance tents will be spread across Almonte’s downtown core, which will be closed to vehicle traffic. Starting at the Almonte Old Town Hall (AOTH) on Bridge Street, the festival runs down Little Bridge Street and

This year’s Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival promises to be one of the biggest yet, now that an extra day of performances has been added.

The 11th annual event will feature 69 shows over three days, from Aug. 7 to 9. Above, the festival’s mascot, Nick, leads the parade. Left, thousands of people visit Almonte for the festival each year.

uses the entirety of Mill Street.

In addition to the performance tents, the area will also feature an outdoor vendors’ market at the post office, a kids’ craft tent and street performers.

“There’s always something going on at Puppets Up!” Young said, “and there’s also something

for people of all ages.”

This year’s festival drew 12 performers, who have each created their own unique shows. The performers come from all across Canada and the United States, but one troupe will travel all the way from Iceland for the festival.

World of Puppets, a perform-

ing troupe based at the National Theatre of Iceland in Reykjavik, will put on a production of “Peter and the Wolf” using only instrumental music.

Local performers are also being showcased at the festival, including the theatre group from Almonte and District High

Schedule There’s never a dull moment during Puppets Up! All three of the festival’s days are packed full of shows, street performances and other fun activities.

On Friday, the fun will begin at 11 a.m. at the Riverside tent for the first show of the festival.

From there, eight shows will be running at various times throughout the day, until 5 p.m. when the last performance wraps up.

Saturday and Sunday are structured much the same way. Shows begin at around 9:30 on each day, running until about 6 p.m.

The only break in performances on both days is the famous Puppets Up! parade, which marches down Mill Street from 1:45 to 2:15 p.m. on Saturday

and Sunday.

“The parade is a special moment,” Young said. “Everything stops for the parade, and everyone who is at the festival is on the street. You can really get a sense of how many people are there.”

All of the performing troupes march in the parade with their puppets, along with locals who have customized puppet lookalikes (including Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin), and any other guests with puppets who’d like to join.

The parade is a great opportunity for kids, who may have made puppets at the kids craft tent earlier in the day, to show off their new creations.

Puppets Up! isn’t just for kids, though. On Saturday night at 7 p.m., the festival features an adults-only cabaret. This year’s show is called The Full Almontey, and all of the 12 troupes contribute to the act. Young said that no one really knows what will happen during the show until it happens.

“The daytime acts will let their hair down and allow the puppets to say and do whatever comes into their tiny, fuzzy heads,” the Puppets Up! website says of the cabaret. “This features all the daytime puppet troupes, some special guests and few uninvited weirdos that get past security. It’s uncensored, unrehearsed and unpredictable.”

the neighbourhood,” he added, “and we didn’t come here to create any type of conflict.”

Asked why the family wants Elliot Hall versus a location in the downtown core, Keith noted the Mississippi River, St. James Park and the building itself, “and all these nice things go along with what we sell.”

“In the village of Kagawong we have the water, beach and then our building,” he said. “We would like to make Carleton Place into a mirror image of what we have created in Kagawong.”

St. James Anglican Church currently has three development applications before the town. One involves severance – severing off the old parish hall from the church parking lot. The second is an application to recognize an existing use – the parking lot.

Tracy Zander, a planning consultant with ZanderPlan in Perth, a land-use planning firm representing St. James Anglican Church, noted the third application proposes the redevelopment of the old parish hall as an artisan chocolate shop and café.

While 224 Edmund St. has been zoned residential, “the property involved has never held a residential use,” Zander noted, “and there are commercial uses within the block of this building.”

“I don’t see the proposed use being incompatible,” she added.

The provincial policy statement, the report of the government’s policies on land use planning, must also be considered by council when making planning decisions, Zander said.

“It’s my opinion, as a planner, the proposal is consistent with the provincial policy statement,” she added.

Conformity with the town’s official plan (OP) and development permit bylaw (DPB) was also stressed.

Another concern involved property taxes. “Yes, churches don’t pay property taxes; however, the purchaser will become taxpayers,” Zander said.

Based on the McKeen’s business plan, increased traffic and noise should not be a concern to neighbours.

“Bands are not part of the business proposed for the site,” Zander said, reminding that the property functioned as a community hall for decades.

She noted a few revisions have been made to the original proposal. Instead of asking for a restaurant and retail store, “we’ve proposed an artisan chocolate shop and café use, which would include the producing and selling of custom chocolates, related confections and beverages, as well as a café area.”

Zander added the retail and public space would be limited to 1,200 square feet.

A revised layout for the parking lot shows 33 spots, which is required for the parking needs of St. James Anglican Church. Seven spaces would be accomodated on the severed Elliot Hall site.

“The development will contribute to the local economy, through tax dollars, jobs and tourism,” Zander said.

Thoughts from the town Regarding the first application to di-

vide the property at 224 Edmund St., acting planner Jane Almond noted, “we can come to some sort of solution of where the severance line will be,” allowing for the parking lot to be owned by the church and the old parish hall to be sold.

“They don’t need the property anymore because they have the new addition,” she said, “and they don’t want the property to just sit there because it is a valuable asset.”

To permit the continued use of the existing parking lot for the church (second application), “we can approve this, recognizing the parking lot as a parking lot,” Almond said.

However, more details are needed in relation to the third application – to permit redevelopment of the old parish hall as a chocolatier and tea room, in addition to the following other uses: art gallery, artisan’s studio, office, personal service business, restaurant and retail store.

“The third application is to allow for some additional uses within the residential area on a site specific basis,” Almond said, “and the application that was submitted has some various uses that have caused the residents to be concerned as well as planning staff, based upon the fact that all of our documents speak to impact – to the neighbourhood and to the community.”

Questions outstanding involve storage, manufacturing use, retail shop scale and café space. Moreover, an updated plan by Zanderplan was presented regarding parking.

“We still have questions,” Almond said, “but I believe there is

still an opportunity for dialogue and solutions.”

“There are too many loose ends that need to be taken care of before we make any decisions,” Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn noted.

Coun. Brian Doucett questioned whether or not the application presented by the church should be considered finished.

From the time a development application is deemed complete, the town has 45 days to make one of five choices: approve; refuse; have applicant do something before approval; approve with conditions; or have applicant do something with conditions before approval.

Furthermore, Doucett wanted to study the new revisions made to the site plan by Zanderplan.

“If we were going to proceed tonight, I could support the severance application in principle, in addition to recognizing the parking lot as a parking lot,” he said. “However, I would be opposed to the re-zoning because I believe this is a residential neighbourhood.”

Mayor Louis Antonakos welcomed the McKeen family to town, noting he met Heather a couple of years ago “when we discussed the same kind of thing back then, and I am happy to see you are still interested in our beautiful town.”

He concurred that there were still questions involving snow removal, parking and building usage.

“I’m not convinced yet the property should be commercial,” Antonakos said. “I’m hoping to be.”

“I think it’s clear this issue has

been a divisive issue and I think the most important thing people need to understand is that we make decisions here not based on emotion,” added Coun. Theresa Fritz. “We need to make decisions based on good planning.”

“It’s a very big decision that has a great impact on our community,” she continued, “and just because we have a room full of people who have given up their evening, it would be foolhardy for us to vote on this without addressing a lot of these outstanding issues.”

Coun. Doug Black was supportive of the proposal, calling it “an asset to the community.”

“We are a growing and prosperous community and believe it or not, it’s a good problem to have,” he said.

Residents speak out A number of residents living in the area of the subject property were registered to speak at the July 21 meeting – both for and against the application.

Carleton Place lawyer Craig Rogers has been a member of the St. James Anglican Church congregation since 1957. He has been a resident of the district for more than 50 years, currently residing at 249 James St. “To my left are the immediate residents in the vicinity of this property,” Rogers said. “These people have legitimate concerns that have not been addressed until tonight.”

After asking why, he charged “there has been silence on detail, silence on intention and silence on purpose regarding this

R0013397472_0730

A piece of Carleton Place’s history has been well preserved for years to come, thanks to the efforts of two local realtors.

After completing extensive renovations on the interior of 164 Bridge Street (former RE/MAX location), owners Harold McKay and Elinor Tanti decided to tackle bringing the exterior back to its roots.

Nearly a month of work was completed on the two-storey structure, which McKay has traced back to 1890, a few weeks ago and the pair is pleased with the transformation.

“Everyone has been stopping by saying how great it looks,” McKay noted.

“We are ecstatic with it. Very, very pleased.” “...We wanted to try and do something really nice because we value it (building) and think all property owners should do the same,” he added.

Thanks to help from a Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) facade improvement grant, work on the exterior began on June 15.

“This was the time to do the outside; we

ing had been covered with vinyl siding which was still on it when it was purchased in 2006,” McKay said. “The siding was a white shiplap style, which was cracked and always looked dirty. The decision was made to remove the siding and restore the brick to its original glory.” “...Gord (Stroud) was excellent and did a remarkable job,” he added.

Of course, no renovation project is without surprises and with this one, windowsills had to be rebuilt and window trim recreated, as well, much of the brick needed to be replaced, including two feet of it along the entire front of the structure. McKay said the strapping from the siding, which was adhered with concrete nails, created large holes in the brick.

Above, a look at the building as the renovations began.

Brick had also been removed in the alleyway between the second floor rear window and the first floor one, which had to be reconstructed.

McKay said the original structure was done in a red clay moulded brick with yellow/grey moulded brick at the corners. The building was painted a dark grey brown and the corners a cream colour. “...Every effort was made to match these colours and to repaint the brick with three coats of quality masonry paint,” he said, adding that paint chips of both colours were scanned in See RENOS page A/CP4

Being heritage conscious was crucial to McKay, who is presently a member of the Mississippi Mills heritage advisory committee. He also encouraged other businesses thinking of upgrades to seek out the BIA grant program. In a letter to BIA project manager Cathie McOrmond on July 27, McKay said he and Tanti “found the process very easy to understand and follow and very efficient. It took two to three days to get approval, after the submission of our application, and two to three days to be reimbursed by the BIA, after the submission of our receipts.”

“The existence of this BIA facade improvement grant was a major factor in our repairing and restoring the exterior of our building this year,” he continued.

He believes so much in the program that he has already recommended the Town of Mississippi Mills adopt a similar one.

History According to history unearthed by local author Linda Seccaspina, the late 19th century structure originally belonged to Grieg Block and was also a wagon shop at one time, operated by John Graham.

The building housed an insurance business over the years as well and is known to some as MacPherson House.

McKay and Tanti have owned the building since January 2006, having purchased it from lawyer Paul Courtice.

They didn’t take long to put their mark on it, completely gutting the interior, re-wiring the structure, installing a new heating system, steel roof and re-insulating the space, as well

as new drywall, baseboards and crown moulding.

To pay further homage to the building’s history, during the exterior renovations, a time capsule was placed inside.

Along with a copy of the BIA Downtowner magazine and information on the association’s facade improvement grant program, McKay and Tanti also included a June 2015 issue of theHumm arts publication, a 2015 coin set and “the history of the building as we know it,” McKay said. “Information on when we bought it, what we did

and all the trades that worked on the renovation.”

The partners operated their RE/MAX brokerage there from 2006 to October 2013, when they sold their franchise to another RE/MAX brokerage, which was housed there until it relocated this past May. Currently, Comfort Pro Ltd. operates in a space downstairs, while there is a two-bedroom apartment upstairs.

Now that the building’s interior and exterior has been refinished, McKay and Tanti are entertaining offers for its sale.

Those interested can contact McKay at 613-795-3720.

Almonte entrepreneur unveils Amazeballs beverage chiller kkent@metroland.com

stainless steel and won’t absorb aromas.

Local entrepreneur Dan Fallak is at it again.

As the creator of the popular VersaTile line of marble coasters and co-founder of Almonte’s Small Town Thinking, Fallak is already a successful businessman.

Now, he’s embarking on another venture with his newest product: Amazeballs.

Amazeballs are spherical beverage chillers made of stainless steel and filled with a food-safe freezer gel, similar to what can be found inside an ice pack. Fallak says the product is an improved version of traditional whisky stones, used to cool spirits and other drinks without dilution.

“Whisky stones just don’t work that well,” Fallak said.

“This product cools much more efficiently and is just a better version.”

Amazeballs are designed to fully freeze within four hours.

Once frozen, one Amazeball can chill a few ounces of spirits within a couple of minutes and won’t compromise taste the way ice cubes or even traditional whisky stones might.

The problem with ice cubes, Fallak said, is that they melt. Once ice cubes start melting in a glass of spirits, the spirits become diluted.

Depending on the water used to make them, ice cubes can also have impurities such as sodium and chlorine that can further compromise the taste.

Finally, both ice cubes and traditional whisky stones can absorb aromas from foods stored in the freezer, another factor that can affect a good drink.

Amazeballs, on the other hand, are made of non-porous

Inspiration The idea to create a better beverage chiller didn’t come to Fallak right away.

“Actually, I started completely backwards on this one,” he said.

The word “amazeballs” originally came to the forefront of modern slang in late 2012. Urban Dictionary defines it as a term to describe something “beyond amazing”, and it sparked Fallak’s interest thanks to his background in advertising. “‘Amazeballs’ was really overused in 2013,” he said.

“It was all over the Internet, and I can remember thinking it would be funny if it was a brand of some kind.”

Fallak spent some time thinking about what an amazeball could be as a product – and a spherical beverage chiller fit the mould.

After finding a company in late 2013 to manufacture the product, he designed the logo and the packaging himself.

Then, he made sure to trademark the word amazeballs for good measure.

Amazeballs sell for between $25 and $35. Each package includes two Amazeballs, a freezer pouch and a pair of tongs.

“I had a hunch and it paid off,” Fallak said.

The idea has even led Fallak into the world of TV, as Amazeballs will appear on an episode of Dragons’ Den this fall.

Soon after the idea came together, Amazeballs was picked up by Chapters, who took 500 units for Fathers’ Day in 2014. After the product sold well at their top 20 locations, Chapters picked

Needless to say, the cabaret is a popular festival attraction.

Tickets Tickets for Puppets Up! are required for entry to all shows, and can be purchased online, at the gate or in advance at Mill Street Books or Baker Bob’s.

On Friday, both individual tickets and weekend passes will be available for purchase.

Individual tickets (good for one performance per person) are $5 for children and $10 for adults. Children under three are free.

Weekend passes, which grant entry to every show during the festival (excluding the adults-only cabaret), are $15 for children and $30 for adults.

Day passes for each day can also be purchased for $10 for children or $20 for adults.

Tickets for the adults-only Saturday night cabaret can be purchased in advance at Mill Street Books or Baker Bob’s for $25 each.

up another order to sell across the country for Christmas last year as well. Even Urban Outfitters got in on the action, selling Amazeballs in all of their North American stores in 2014.

In 2015, Amazeballs have become even more popular, with several stores selling the product again for Fathers’ Day. Now that Christmas is coming up, Fallak says he’s having trouble keeping up with demand.

The problem, he said, is that he has to front the money for the stores’ orders to have the product ready to sell. Then, once the product reaches stores, there’s a 120-day gap between delivery and payment – something Fallak

said is difficult for an independent businessperson to bridge.

“It’s a good problem to have,” Fallak said. “It means my product is doing well, but it’s tough at the same time.”

In an effort to generate a bit of cash flow for his business, Fallak has started an online crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. He’s hoping to raise $10,000 in the next month to help fund his massive Christmas orders.

“Anything I can raise would definitely help,” he said.

Registration still open for annual 3 on 3 basketball tournament Aug. 8 Kelly Kent

Of course, you don’t have to participate in the tournament to enjoy it.

The 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament will be back in Almonte for its 23rd year on Saturday, Aug. 8. Teams of three or four can still register for the event. Left, in this photo from last year’s event, Almonte’s Krischan Welk tries to go around Perth’s Ben Bellamy.

In addition to the ongoing basketball games (which take place all day, from 8 a.m. to 3 or 4 p.m.), there’s a lot going on at the 3 on 3 event. There will be a slam dunk contest, a 3-point competition and a barbecue around lunchtime, along with visits from special guests from the Ottawa basketball community.

Of course, the tournament wouldn’t be complete without the uniform competition. Participants are encouraged to create their own team T-shirts, with prizes awarded for the most creative versions.

Registration is still open to teams wishing to participate in this year’s event. The cost is $120 for

the novice division and $140 for the adult division. Teams of three are welcome, but Hubert said it’s better to have four participants so one player can always be resting.

To register, visit the event’s website at www.naismithbasketball.ca or contact the association’s president, Stephanie Lee, at info@ naismithbasketball.ca or 613-2561061.

While there are still spots available, Hubert said to register sooner rather than later, as they will go quickly. Last year’s event saw 27 teams participate and the event is already set to exceed that number this year.

Hubert said the event is still ac-

tively seeking sponsors as well and asked that anyone interested contact Lee for details.

The basketball association will also have registration for their multiple local teams available during the tournament.

The association offers teams for all ages and skill levels, including novice, bantam, midget and adult.

The fee is just $200 for the season, which runs from October to March with a competitive tournament at the end.

“You really can’t get better than that as far as organized sports go,” said Hubert, whose kids play with the association. “It’s a lot of fun for not a lot of money.”

“We were responsible for providing goods to the locals,” Lamb said, “and we sold literally everything you could need.”

From textiles and local produce bartered from area farmers, to soap and feed for cows, the Pakenham General Store had most necessities in stock.

Lamb said the store actively used the old rail line to ship product to and from larger cities like Montreal.

“You could even get suits and coats made here,” Lamb said.

Over the years, as the store changed owners, merchandise was updated to suit the times.

According to Lamb, whose brother, Rodney Bell, has owned the store since 2002, the store has had several owners in the last 175 years.

After McArthur and Brown opened it in 1840, the pair operated the business until 1859,

when Brown bought McArthur’s share. Brown then took over as the sole owner until 1876, when David Scott joined him as a business partner.

From there, six generations of Scotts operated the shop, until 1981 when it was purchased by John and Yvonne Hayes.

Then, in 1987, Brian and Carol Bean took over, before finally selling to Bell in 2002. Bell is still operating the store 13 years later.

Now, the store is known mainly for its giftware and, of course, for its bakery.

Today’s Pakenham General Store offers a variety of general gift items, such as jewelry, antiques and glassware. The building’s second floor now houses a small gallery, where local artwork is displayed.

The bakery has really gained steam since Bell took over as

owner. The kitchen, which is not original to the building, pumps out dozens of housemade goodies every day, including fresh breads and cookies.

The store hasn’t forgotten its roots though, Lamb said. The store still uses an International Business Machines (IBM) meat slicer from 1901 for their fresh sandwiches.

“It’s 114-years-old, it’s fire engine red and it’s certainly a sight to see,” Lamb said.

Lamb said everyone is invited to visit the store to celebrate 175 years of business.

“We’re asking people just to come and enjoy the party,” she said.

For more information, visit the store’s Facebook page at www. facebook.com/PakenhamGeneralStore. The Pakenham General Store is located at 2524 Regional Rd. 29.

baked in house.

“Everyone is invited to have some barbecue, some cake and look around the store,” Lamb said, adding that the store’s famous sticky buns will also be available for purchase.

Lamb said that it’s interesting to think about how much the store has transitioned in the last 175 years as it’s updated to serve the current needs of the village’s residents.

The Pakenham General Store was first opened by owners Archibald McArthur and Robert Brown in 1840. It has always been housed in the same threestorey stone building, but its merchandise has changed greatly.

Back then, the store was one of the only merchants in the village and offered everything and anything locals might need.

What better place to spend a day playing basketball than in Almonte, the birthplace of the sport’s inventor?

On Saturday, Aug. 8, the Naismith Basketball Association (named after the father of the sport, Dr. James Naismith), will once again host their 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament.

“It’s a really fun day,” said Chantal Hubert, director of communications for the tournament and for the basketball association.

“It’s all about getting active, playing some basketball and having a good time.”

This year’s 23rd annual tournament will be formatted much the same as the popular event has been in previous years. The event takes place on Bridge Street, right in front of the Almonte Community Centre (the arena).

Eight courts are set up on the street, which is closed to traffic, for a round robin tournament between participating teams.

Teams of all ages are invited to take part, Hubert said, and are grouped into male and female categories in two divisions: adults and novice (age seven to 17). Prizes are awarded to the top three teams in each division at the end of the event.

Cash prizes are awarded to the winning teams in the adult division, along with a trophy for first place. Winners in the novice division have the option to choose their prize from a selection of basketball tickets for games at the Canadian Tire Centre in Almonte, tickets to local games or swag such as Tshirts from the basketball association.

ship that benefits each.

“The two events are very complementary to each other,” she said. “We get traffic from them and they get traffic from us. It’s a great weekend to spend in Almonte.”

Barclay takes the prize in my eyes Last week, from July 20-22, the Valley Kennel Club put on its second annual dog show at Beckwith Park. It was a success.

Dog shows are a popular way for people to show off their prized canine companions. Plus, they are a lot of fun for spectators. Basically, it’s a process of elimination, with one dog ultimately awarded the title Best in Show.

After being out at the show I started to think about my own dog. Does he have the right stuff? In regards to conformation and obedience, how would he get on?

After the death of our 14-year-old golden retriever, Elmo, in October 2010, my husband and I took the time we needed to grieve before getting another dog.

In July 2011 Barclay arrived – our St. Bernard puppy. I always wanted a St. Bernard.

Today, Barclay is four-years-old.

While we love him to death, we know he’s not for everyone.

When out with Barclay there are a number of things people are guaranteed to say or ask. For example: “How much does he weigh?” “I bet he eats you out of house and home!” “You could put a saddle on him and ride him round.”

“Where’s the barrel?” “I bet he takes you for a walk, doesn’t he?” “Is he fully grown?” “Does he slobber a lot?”

“They rescue people, don’t they?” and “Where did you get him from?”

Yes, Barclay is big! He weighs just over 160 pounds. This isn’t too bad, considering his mother’s weight was 180 pounds and his father tipped the scale at 200 pounds.

Barclay was a bit difficult to train – which my husband did...is still doing.

After all, the St. Bernard is a stubborn animal that sometimes listens. It’s like having a teenager. He tests the boundaries and likes to discover what he can get away with. Always remember to have snacks (bribes) handy. Praise often works too.

Barclay loves being outdoors, especially in snowy weather. He’ll entertain himself, romping around in the white fluffy stuff. Water, however, is a different story. Although he loves to drink the stuff by the gallon, he won’t go anywhere near a pond, river, lake, pool or anything else that remotely resembles H2O. Most kids call out “Beethoven” when they first see Barclay, referring to

TARA GESNER Tara Firma the 1992 movie about a slobbering St. Bernard. The older folks yell “Cujo.”

When Barclay was younger he slept upstairs – near us – on a doggy bed.

Nowadays, he prefers to sleep downstairs on the couch. I don’t really mind, given his constant ear-deafening snoring.

During the day the floor is Barclay’s mattress, with my husband and I constantly needing to step over or around him. If Barclay does bother to wake up and get up, he can be a good guard dog; however, as soon as a firecracker goes off he becomes a lap dog.

The first thing most people notice about a house where a St. Bernard lives is fluff, fluff and more fluff. These dogs are always losing hair. Never come to our house wearing a dark colour.

The St. Bernard is a friendly dog.

Barclay loves being around people, meeting new folks. However, I always warn that exchanging pleasantries often involves slobber. At our house, jowl towels are a must.

A St. Bernard has an amazing sense of smell. Being a rescue dog, I read they can actually smell a body under up to 20 feet of snow. Barclay is this way when it comes to a Tim Hortons old-fashioned doughnut. After a Timmy’s run, even before my husband and I get in the house, he knows, dancing around like a fool. With the size of the brain in that huge head, of course he’s smart. If you don’t feed the doughnut to him in the required time – five seconds or less – the drool starts, and not just normal dog drool but bubble drool.

Yes, there is a big difference!

Barclay’s water dish must be washed and cleaned every day as the bottom soon turns into a mixture of slobber, bits of biscuit and anything else he happened to have in his mouth in the previous 24 hours.

Barclay is our loving family companion. The love he gives us has no bounds.

100 years young

Celebrations were in order on Saturday, July 25 at the St. James Hall as Carleton Place resident Rossie Moore Doyle marked her 100th birthday. Moore Doyle is one of the last descendants to live in the Moore house.

Hummingbird activity at feeders down across the area Has activity around your hummingbird feeder lessened in the last couple of weeks? Our feeder has been very quiet.

Randy Marinelli of Beckwith Township has noticed less visits to the feeder lately. The parents may be teaching the youngsters which flowers to visit for nectar or finding other food stuffs.

On July 15, Randy saw the fledged young of Northern Cardinal coming to feed. These youngsters are the size of the adults now. Nesting at Randy’s, Eastern Bluebird, American Kestrel and Tree Swallows all have some young that are fledged already.

an Eastern Phoebe nest with four growing youngsters filling this nest. The parents dive for insects to feed their hungry young. Phoebes can have three to seven young per nest, which means a busy feeding schedule to maintain. Once this brood has fledged, Linda needs to watch for batch number two, as phoebes are often double-brooded.

In the Clayton area, Dale Fenstone has three juvenile Red-tailed Hawks around her home. Their parents have three very hungry youngsters to feed.

Dale has good views of them. Last week, Dale saw a Wild Turkey with two young on Clayton Lake Road. One day last week also, a Barred Owl was spotted on Tatlock Road. Near her home, a Great Blue Heron stands at the water’s edge fishing.

The following is an open letter to Reverend David Andrew of St. James Anglican Church in Carleton Place.

DEAR EDITOR:

I am writing to you this evening upon returning from the presentation of the church’s application for a proposed change in the residential status of our neighbourhood, held at the council meeting of the Town of Carleton Place, July 21.

I am deeply saddened to have witnessed a community at war.

My neighbours and my family have been enjoying the best of small town living for many decades, here in Carleton Place, in proximity of the beautiful St. James Church and the old parish hall. It is therefore more than rea-

PROPOSAL From page A/CP2

ever to practice and teach our children tolerance and mutual respect.

I urge you, as spiritual leader of the St. James congregation to put a stop to this divide of our community and begin a dialogue with members of the St. James’ neighbourhood. We may not be part of your congregation, we are however, part of your community.

You spoke this evening about doing what is right, and how hard it can be sometimes because it is doing what is right. Would you not agree that doing what is right is ultimately what is right for the greater good?

William St. since 1975, which is directly across from the new parish hall. He also owns the lot at the corner of William and Edmund streets.

“I am not here tonight to talk about traffic, parking problems or a lack of sufficient parking,” Graham said. “I am here to just say no to this (development) application.”

“I am here to defend my neighbours, my home and my neighbourhood against the unnecessary, uncalled for and unwanted commercial use that this class three development project proposes for my neighbourhood,” he continued.

It was noted the town’s planning department is in receipt of a list containing 46 names – all residents living in the immediate area of 224 Edmund St. Graham stated these residents are opposed to any partial re-zoning of the subject property.

“There are plenty of other viable sites in this town already zoned for commercial use,” he added, “and to say yes to this project would be a bad decision for a good neighbourhood.”

In a previous interview with the Canadian Gazette, Rev. David Andrew said, “Through an oversight on the town’s part, the property was zoned residential instead of institutional.”

During the meeting, Andrew told the crowd, “If the McKeen family decides to sell the property or should their business fail, at the bishop’s insistence, the church has the first right of refusal, the church will buy the property back.”

“The McKeen family has agreed to this,” he said. “We will forever be interested in what happens to Elliot Hall.”

It was also noted the hours of operation for the artisan chocolate shop would be Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Tuesday to Sat-

urday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Chris Jones, the chair of the building committee at St. James Anglican Church, noted in 2013 the congregation finally realized a 50-year dream – a new parish hall and administration building.

“And as we welcome the McKeen family to our community tonight, they have a dream,” he said. “The McKeen family has a dream of opening another successful business that has the potential to be a destination business in our town.”

For 92 years Elliot Hall was the social centre of Carleton Place. “I can’t imagine a small café in the old parish hall would now change the traffic patterns very much at all,” Jones said.

It was noted the congregation of St. James Anglican Church has a fondness for the old hall.

“The bonus of all this is that the McKeen family wants to preserve the building,” Jones said. “They don’t want to tear it down or build a factory, condos or a commercial complex.”

Andrew has been the rector at St. James Anglican Church for the last eight years. He noted the parish has been in the Edmund Street area before there was even a neighbourhood – 181 years ago – when the town was still known as Morphy’s Falls.

“The church will still be here when every single person in this room has gone to glory or wherever else they are going,” he said.

Other residents had concerns over parking, property values, traffic, as well as snow removal.

Sandra Schappert of 45 Bell St. reminded everyone that over the years council has made many exceptions to town bylaws.

“The McKeen family wants to be a good neighbour with a minimal negative impact on the community,” Schappert continued, “and I’m fine with it.”

proposal.”

Rogers also charged that a member of council may have a pecuniary interest that wasn’t declared.

“There are members of the committee who have a conflict, a financial pecuniary interest in the decision-making process,” he pointed out.

Under the assumption Rogers was referring to himself, Coun.

Ross Trimble, a member of the St. James Anglican Church congregation, announced, “I have obtained a legal opinion from a reputable law firm in the City of Ottawa that deals extensively with the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act and I am not in the position of any conflict.”

Ross did declare a pecuniary interest when the old parish hall was first discussed in council chambers back on April 21.

Rogers called the redevelopment application a detriment to the neighbourhood, lacking merit and should be refused by council.

“You are setting a terrible precedent, permitting high density commercial use in an established residential zone,” he said. “There are numerous alternatives for big commercial properities in Carleton Place.”

Non-compliance with the town’s OP and DPB was also raised by the attorney.

Again, pointing to the people sitting to his left, Rogers stated: “These people have been subjected to intimidation,” which drew audible groans from the audience. “The police have also been engaged in this process, which is shameful.”

“We ask that you stop this nonsense,” he continued. “It (chocolate shop) is not an acceptable use for this property.”

sonable to express our concerns over your proposed rezoning and the impact it would undoubtedly have over our homes and peaceful community. Our concerns are valid and must be addressed as such without being subjected to derision and disrespect. Comments, made this evening by members of your congregation while opposing views were expressed, were most uncivilized and not worthy of such a fine community.

At a time when a large part of the world is living through civil war and terrorism, where millions of refugees have no longer a place to call home, we are indeed most fortunate and privileged to enjoy such a quiet peaceful existence and we do need more than

Herbfest gives rights to Carp Farmers’ Market after 20-year run Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Carp Farmers’ Market officially took over Herbfest at the event’s final day of being held at the Herb Garden on July 26.

Herb Garden owners George and Gerry Bedard signed over Herbfest to market organizers during the 20th annual festival.

“Gerry approached us sometime last year in regards to having the Herbfest live on,” said Ennio Marcantonio, market manager. “We decided it would be a shame to see it dwindle. The Carp Farmers’ Market will take it over and hopefully make it bigger than it already is.”

The Bedards have been hosting the event since they bought the Herb Garden in 2004 and decided it was time to cut back on some of their responsibilities.

“As you get closer and closer to your 70s and 80s, you start cutting back on stuff. We need to do this,” said Gerry.

“We had a list of organizations that might be able to hold an event like this; at the top of the list was the Carp Farmers’ Market. We have been in partnership with them for 20 years.

“They’re a very good fit I would think and if anyone can make it successful they will be able to.”

Despite the heat advisory on Sunday, July 26, people gathered at the 20th annual Herbfest at Almonte’s Herb Garden for its final run. Now, after two decades of hosting the festival, the Herb Garden has passed the torch to the Carp Farmers’ Market for the years to come. Above, Herbfest volunteers gather round as the rights to the festival are signed over to the Carp Farmers’ Market. Seated at the table, from left: Shaun McLaughlin, Mayor of Mississippi Mills; Don Henderson, vice-president of the Carp Farmers’ Market; and Gerry Bedard of the Herb Garden. Right, guests could take a break from the heat to sit under canopies and enjoy the live entertainment.

The Herb Garden remains open, stressed Gerry.

Herbfest has helped a number of small local businesses make their name.

“I can remember when lots of the vendors did not have business bank accounts or even websites for that matter,” said Gerry. “Most are business names now. A lot of people started their businesses with help promoting it at Herbfest.”

The event will differ slightly now that it has a new home. The Carp Farmers’ Market doesn’t allow buyers and resellers to purchase items to be resold at a different venue.

“We make it, we bake it, we grow it for you,” said Marcantonio.

“We attract growers and crafters.

The Carp Farmers’ Market doesn’t allow resellers.”

It’s also looking at moving Herbfest to an earlier date, either the end of June or beginning of July, to separate it from the market’s Garlic Festival held in early August (Aug. 8 and 9 this year). There is also the possibility of merging both events, but no final decision has been made.

“Right now that’s still up in the air. We’re looking at both possibilities,” said Marcantonio. “Next year is going to be a learning experience.”

It’s amazing what can happen when a community comes together to support a cause.

In less than three months, the communities of Almonte and Carleton Place have worked together to support a campaign, called Hot Wheels for Zak, raising more than $26,500 to date to purchase a used accessible van for a local boy.

What started as an online crowdfunding campaign for Zak Irvine, a Grade 6 student at Naismith Memorial Public School (NMPS) who was born with cerebral palsy, scoliosis and cortical visual impairment, turned into a massive movement that Zak’s mother says snowballed more quickly than anyone had anticipated.

“It’s really quite mind-blowing,” said Jennifer Irvine, Zak’s mother.

“The community is just remarkable for helping us with this.”

Hot Wheels for Zak was started

by Tina Doxey, an educational assistant at NMPS who works with Zak on a daily basis, in the last week of April as a way to help the Irvine family replace their brokendown accessible van.

“They are the most absolutely loving family you can imagine,” she told the Canadian Gazette in an earlier interview.

“If anyone is deserving of a little help, it’s them.”

Now, in the three months since

At the end of April, the Hot Wheels for Zak fundraising campaign was started as an effort to help the local Irvine family purchase a new accessible van for their son, who was born with cerebral palsy, scoliosis and cortical visual impairment. Now, just three months later, the campaign has reached its $30,000 goal, thanks to support from both the Almonte and Carleton Place communities.

Doxey’s original online fundraising page went live, the campaign has already reached its goal.

“I thought it was going to be a

long haul,” Doxey said.

“I can’t believe how quickly we reached our goal. It’s heartwarming to know that the community has come together to help this family.”

Soon after setting up the online campaign, donations began rolling in. In just one week, the Hot Wheels for Zak page on gofundme. com had more than $3,000 in donations. Soon after, an anonymous donor gifted $10,000 to the campaign through NMPS, and community fundraisers began springing up.

NMPS itself hosted a variety of fundraisers, with Zak’s student peers coming up with their own ways to help. Some kids made bracelets to sell at events, while the school’s 2015 graduating class elected to donate the funds leftover after their ceremony to Zak as well.

Even the staff at NMPS got in on the action. Doxey said that several retiring staff members asked for donations to the campaign instead of gifts.

The campaign also received dozens of community donations from organizations such as: Upper Canada District School Board’s Champions for Kids Foundations, the Rotary Club of Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills, the Almonte Masons, the Carleton Place Lions Club and Cavanagh Construction, to name a few.

Almonte’s Shoppers Drug Mart

location also conducted a point of sale fundraiser, asking customers to make small donations with each purchase.

The fundraising fever spread as far as Ottawa, where a large barbecue was held to benefit the cause.

“I am absolutely overwhelmed,” Doxey said.

“It’s incredible to know that a little boy can inspire so many people to give.”

The Irvine family has also applied for funding from President’s Choice (PC), which will help them obtain a mechanical lift for their home.

Now that Hot Wheels for Zak has reached its $30,000 goal ($26,500 of donations plus unknown totals from Shoppers Drug Mart and PC), the Irvine family will be able to purchase a used 2008 or 2009 accessible van and a lift to help make Zak’s life a little easier.

Doxey said she wants to thank the community for their support over the last few weeks. The Irvine family is planning a wrap up for the middle of August, where they’ll thank the donors who made the campaign a success.

Until then, Hot Wheels for Zak will continue to accept donations, Doxey said. Donations can be made online at www.gofundme.com/ t6e4ck48 or directly at NMPS. “Both Almonte and Carleton Place have really stepped right up and supported us,” Doxey said. “I can’t thank the locals enough.”

Do I Need Cataract Surgery?

Do I get a lot of E-mail? Yes, tons of it. Do I get letters? Practically never, particularly those without a return address. So I was surprised by a recent one. All I know is the writer lives in Lethbridge, Alberta, and is elderly. She has written that she wants to be an informed patient, so is asking for my stand on cataract surgery.

“Ms. X” simply believed she needed reading glasses, but was told by an optometrist that she required cataract surgery. She re- Dr. Gifford-Jones marks, “I hesitated, so he sent me to an ophthalmologist for a second opinion. He also agreed that surgery was needed, suggested I simply sign on the dotted line, then called, “Next patient, please”.

But the writer asked for a copy of what she had just signed, read the fine print (interestingly, she could read the fine print!) and now has second and third thoughts about the dangers involved.

According to the National Eye Institute, by age 80 half of North Americans either have a cataract, or have had cataract surgery to replace a foggy lens. The lens allows light to pass through the eye to focus on the back part of the eye, the retina, which then sends images to the brain.

Aging is the main cause of cataracts. Diabetes and glaucoma increase the risk. So does exposure to strong sunlight such as living closer to the equator. High altitude also plays a role as the people of Tibet have the highest rate of cataracts in the world..

Many people don’t know they have a cataract in its early stage. And since cataracts normally grow slowly, some people can live for years without significant effect on vision.

But when symptoms first occur, the lens has become tinted, making it difficult to identify blues and purples. For instance, you may think you are wearing a pair of black socks, only to be told by friends that you’re actually wearing purple ones. Others complain of the glare of headlights, sunlight too bright, or a halo around lights.

This patient in question believed she only needed reading glasses and this may be the case. But if a cataract is present, interfering with her daily activities such as reading, driving or watching T.V., then cataract surgery is the only effective treatment for her.

Some patients worry that delaying cataract surgery will result in long-term damage to the eye or make the operation more difficult. But this is not the case, so there is rarely any hurry to rush into surgery. Besides, some people never need an operation and can be helped by new glasses or better lighting.

The writer is correct in wondering about the risks, however. As with any surgery there’s always the risk of infection or bleeding problems. For instance, surgeons may ask you to temporarily discontinue any medication that may cause bleeding during surgery.

Cataract surgery also increases the risk of retinal detachment, a potentially serious complication that can cause loss of vision. One sign of this problem is a sudden increase in “floaters” or cobweb structures that appear in the vision.

Ms. X can be reassured that if an operation is truly required, the risk of complication is small and the majority of patients have better vision.

There’s no sure way to prevent cataracts. But decreasing exposure to sunlight by wearing sunglasses, eating fruits and vegetables is believed helpful. And be sure to wear protective glasses for tennis and other sports to prevent traumatic cataracts.

Does the use of vitamins help? Some researchers believe vitamin C is a protective agent in vision. The cornea and lens of the eye have the highest concentration of vitamin C in the body. In one study, those with low blood levels of C had 11 times greater risk of developing a cataract. In another study, those who took vitamin E reduced cataract risk by 50 to 70 percent. This is why I take natural vitamin E and high doses of C daily.

At 91 I have had no cataract surgery.

So I hope Ms. X is now an informed patient and realizes that the development of a cataract need not be a rush to surgery. Rather, surgery is done only when quality of life is affected.

Valley Kennel Club holds annual dog show at Beckwith Park Tara Gesner

tgesner@perfprint.ca

Thanks to the agreeable weather and the response from dog lovers, the Valley Kennel Club’s (VKC) second annual dog show was a huge success, running July 20-22 at Beckwith Park.

Admission to the grounds was free for spectators, with festivities consisting of vendor booths, treats – for humans and canines, pet photographs on a Beckwith Fire Department truck and more.

The number of dogs competing this year over 2014 increased in the region of 20 a day, according to officials.

In an interview with the Canadian Gazette, VKC vice-president and the show’s obedience chair Ilona Monahan called the dog show a fun opportunity to watch dogs compete against each other.

Canines were entered in two different categories: conformation and obedience, with an expert group of judges coming from South Africa, New Zealand, Taiwan, U.S. and Canada.

Monahan noted there were four all breed conformation shows, with two on Monday and one each on Tuesday and Wednesday. Additionally, there were four all breed obedience trials for spectators to watch: two on Monday and two on Tuesday.

There were a handful of different groups of dogs in the VKC dog show, including herding, toy, working, sporting and more.

“A dog show is basically a process of elimination, with one canine ultimately awarded the title Best in Show,” Monahan said.

She noted each dog competed first in its own class (breed) then in its own group (dogs used for a similar purpose) and finally for Best in Show (all groups).

In regards to conformation, canines are judged against various standards that have been set for their breed, such as bite, size, tail, coat, etc. Experts also do a gait analysis of a dog.

For the obedience portion, a dog’s intelligence is tested: walking on a leash at the owner’s side; standing to be touched by a stranger; sitting and lying down with distractions; finding items that were touched by the owner; and coming when called.

Fundraiser A pork roast fundraiser was held for dog show vendors, Monahan said, with proceeds again benefitting local animals.

“Money from last year’s fundraiser purchased two pet face mask resuscitators for the Beckwith Fire Department,” Monahan said.

This year, in addition to the purchase of recovery blankets for animals, organizers are looking at financing training for volunteer firefighters of the Beckwith brigade with Perth Veterinary Hospital, the dog show’s veterinarian.

Many people, when it comes to healthcare, base their decisions on the question ‘how do I feel?’

In a scientific World, there is a very clear delineation between right and wrong; these are the laws of life. Gravity, energy, motion, life and death are all very clear laws. None of these laws are dependent on how I ‘feel’ about them.

The World Health Organization definition of health is: A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease, infirmity or pain.

The pursuit of good health is always dependent on the laws of life, not on how we feel. As a Chiropractor, I want my patients to feel well, but more importantly, I want them to function well.

I often think about this example - A doctor asked a woman in a wheel chair if she would like to have no pain and be confined to her wheelchair, or, would she prefer to get up and walk knowing she may have some pain for the rest of her life?

The woman picked the second choice every time she was asked, which reveals that people can

tolerate pain as long as they are functioning well.

When you are assessing if you are healthy, make sure you know the laws of life...

Your body needs clear nerve control to have health and to function well. This is a law.

Your muscles need clear nerve control to contract and relax normally. This is a law.

Your organs need proper nerve control to function normally. This is a law.

A proper nerve connection in the body is established through a healthy spine. Movement to the spine itself is the only way to keep the spine healthy.

Chiropractors help you improve your health by improving the function of your spine. Be sure you base your good health on the laws of life and not on the way you may feel. If you are unsure, please contact a chiropractor today and book a spinal exam.

Luxart Homes presents Family Movie Night Aug. 6 in Carleton Place Riverside Park will be filled with bright lights and laughter on Thursday, Aug. 6 as Luxart Homes presents the movie, Finding Nemo.

This movie in the park is proudly supported by The Town of Carleton Place, and is the first of its kind in Carleton Place.

The evening begins with pre-movie

fun at 7:30 p.m. with Nemo crafts, snow cones and playground fun. Organizers then invite everyone to get settled for show time at 9 p.m., where there will be popcorn and drinks for sale. All proceeds raised from canteen sales will be put towards future movies at Riverside Park.

Luxart Homes is excited to present

Carleton Place’s first Movie in the Park.

“Luxart is happy to present a movie night in CP, and we hope for it to become a recurring event,” says co-owner Amanda Wagon. “It’s something we think families will enjoy and it’s just the type of community event that makes Carleton Place and neighbouring Beckwith such a great place to live.”

“The recreation and culture Department had discussed wanting to do a movie for this summer, so we were thrilled when Luxart Homes contacted us about presenting a film,” added community programmer Jessica Smith. “The amphitheatre was perfectly designed for this kind of event and we are very excited to see it being used.”

The Riverside Park Amphitheatre is equipped with an elevated grass berm, suitable for easy viewing of the stage area, however personal chairs and blankets are welcome.

Luxart Homes and the Town of Carleton Place look forward to welcoming families to Riverside Park for the first of many movies in the park.

Obstetrical Patient Safety: Priority One

By Maureen MacLeod Frazer Earlier this year the Obstetrical Team at the Almonte General Hospital received a recognition award for their work on the More OB program. Salus Global’s Managing Obstetrical Risk Efficiently (MOREOB) Program was originally developed by the Society of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists of Canada and the Health Insurance Reciprocal of Canada. It is a comprehensive performance improvement program that fosters and improves a culture of patient safety in obstetrical units.

The first year of the program, Module 1, is very intensive with many chapters of reading for all the participants.

This insures that all the team members, comprised of Doctors, Midwives and Nurses, have the most up to date information and recommendations for care of our Obstetrical patients. The core team provides workshops to reinforce the most important areas of learning and runs drills on emergencies that could happen.

last module. As with the other modules there will be workshops and drills.

This is the second year in a row that the team, led by Dr. Anne Oldfield, has received this award for having over 80% participation with the program.

The second year of the program, Module 2, focuses on the team dynamics, learning how to communicate effectively and work as a team. As with Module 1 there are workshops and emergency drills to strengthen our teamwork and practice the communication techniques that have been learned.

During Module 3 titled “changing the culture”, the focus is on evaluating our current practices to see if there are changes that should be made to ensure that safety is our first priority. We will be learning debriefing skills and practicing the communication skills learned in the

Bridge Street courtesy walks get a refresh Pedestrians and motorists should have little problem noticing the updates to the courtesy walks on Bridge Street in Carleton Place.

Last week, the town’s public works department was out painting bolder lines on the crosswalks, which was brought about during a council discussion on consideration of a signalized pedestrian crosswalk, said Dave Young, director of public works.

“Instead of moving forward with that project, the town has taken steps to increase the visibility of the existing courtesy crosswalks on Bridge Street in order to increase motorist cooperation,” he explained.

Young said the product used has better long-term results than typical line painting. “The product that was used to replace the existing yellow painted lines is a thermoplastic product that is ac-

tually adhered to the pavement by heating which creates a bond to the road surface,” he stated, adding the town has used the product before with good results.

He pointed out the changes to the walks cost the town $3,000 but feels it is well worth it. “…(The cost) included the new advance markings, but with this product we have found that it retains visibility, in high traffic areas for a much longer timeframe,” Young said.

The matter of courtesy walks at Mill and Albert streets has come before the local council on a few occasions, with discussion focusing on options to solve a problem that Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn has called “accident waiting to happen.”

While vehicles are not legally required to stop at the courtesy Tara Gesner/METROLAND walks, it is encouraged, to give Last week, Carleton Place public works staff painted bolder lines pedestrians an opportunity to cross the main thoroughfare on the street at the courtesy crosswalks on Bridge Street, in an safely. effort to improve driver awareness and overall safety.

Historic building at corner of Albert and Beckwith streets sold Tara Gesner

The historic stone building in the heart of downtown Carleton Place, at the corner of Beckwith and Albert streets, has been sold.

Currently known as the Old Church Shoppes, the building at 17 Albert St. has housed the former Zion United Church, the old Peddlers Parish antique flea market, the late CP Cinemas and more over the years.

Brenda MacDonald-Rowe and Ernie Rowe owned the building, which currently houses three businesses on the top level – Ashton Station Bridal, Static Salon/Static Barber and Kirk Armstrong Guitar Lessons.

“The new owners from London, England take possession in August,” Brenda told the Canadian Gazette in a telephone interview on July 24.

Although Brenda is a realtor with Century 21 Explorer Realty Inc., the sale of the property was handled by Rhonda Brunke of Coldwell Banker Heritage Way. The building’s lower level (former cinema) is approximately 3,000 square feet.

“I’m not positive, but I believe the intent is for apartments to be constructed,” Brenda said.

She added, “Rhonda did ask me to let the tenants know they are not being asked to leave.”

Approximately three years ago Ernie closed the doors of CP Cinemas, unable to switch from 35 mm film, which was an in-

At the time, he told the newspaper it would be no less than $120,000 for the theatre’s two screens. Ernie operated the cinema for five years.

The original building – the home of Zion United Church – was constructed in 1869 for $3,640, which excluded painting, glazing and seating. Through time the church was enlarged, with the addition of a gallery (1880), wings on each side (1886), a vestry (1886), choir gallery (1886) and Sunday school room (1908).

Too, a brick manse was con-

structed in the building’s rear in 1890. Tragically, a fire destroyed a large area of Carleton Place in 1910, including Zion United Church. As noted in the May 18, 1910 edition of the Carleton Place Herald, more than 30 structures were abolished and property loss calculated in excess of $150,000.

Zion United Church was valued at $35,000 and insured for $16,000. One year after the fire, a new foundation was started, and the church re-opened in March 1912. Thirty-eight years later, fire would take the structure once more. It was reconstructed.

On July 28 the exhibition Timeless Textiles opened at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum.

This stunning exhibit will take you on a journey through the collections of award-winning art created by the Kingston Fibre Artists Group.

Formed in 1996 by Kingston area fibre artist, Hilary Scanlon, this 18-member group has exhibited in galleries across Ontario, and the MVTM is thrilled that they have chosen us to present a retrospective exhibition of their work.

The artists will be present to share a ‘Walk and Talk’ with visitors after their opening vernissage and reception at the

museum on Aug. 1.

Having amassed an inventory of dazzling art with fibre as their medium, the members of the group will share their favourite pieces from past shows, as well as an impressive collection of new work.

A wide variety of talent in the membership means that their art covers a huge array of techniques, designs and personal styles.

From painted fibre pieces with added airbrushed text by artist Wilma Kenny, to the stunning hand-embroidered and machinestitched cityscapes and urban landscapes/hideaways created

Lanark County and Town of Smiths Falls Municipal Drug Strategy committee holds 20th network day tgesner@perfprint.ca

Prevention. Enforcement. Harm Reduction. Treatment.

The Lanark County and Town of Smiths Falls Municipal Drug Strategy committee is utilizing these four pillars, which have a surprisingly powerful impact, to address alcohol and other drug problems.

The committee celebrated its 20th network day recently at Brunton Community Hall in Beckwith.

The theme: Mental Health and Addiction.

“Initially, we started with four network days during the year, but we then went to three for timing,” said Bonnie Schnittker of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

On top of displays by Lanark Leeds & Grenville Addictions and Mental Health, PLEO (Parents Lifelines of Eastern Ontario), Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre (ROMHC), Lanark County Mental Health (LCMH) and Open Doors, the recent network session included two guest speakers: LCMH’s Diana McDonnell and ROMHC’s Dr. Kim Corace.

Schnittker reviewed the group’s “impressive” list of presenters over the last six years on May 8.

In one of the first few sessions (September 2010), How to Recognize Drug Use was the theme.

Participants heard from a handful of presenters, including Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Const. Beth Hollihan, an at length trained Drug Recognition Expert (DRE). In the DRE training program, law enforcement officers are taught using this working definition of a drug: Any substance, which when taken into the human body, can impair the ability of the person to operate a vehicle safely.

Enforcement was the theme in February 2015, with OPP Sgt. Jason Butcher speaking about the East Region Highway Enforcement Team (ERHET). Much of what the eightmember ERHET does is referred to as a hot stop – intelligence based and informant and investigation driven traffic stops. Through traffic stops ERHET has been able to seize large quantities of drugs, currency and stolen property.

“We held one session in May 2011 in Perth,” Schnittker said. “We talked about the use and abuse of prescription pain killers as well as a methadone treatment clinic.”

“Another network day, in October 2013, was held at the Beckwith Recreation Complex, utilizing station rotation,” she added.

“Sgt. Paul Klassen from Smiths Falls Police Services and Lanark County OPP Const. Sean Trahan demonstrated choice matters, re-enacting a traffic stop.”

The Ministry of Transportation was on hand to demonstrate its Intoxi-

In February 2014 the 16th network day was held by way of video conference, encompassing the following presenters: Amy Peaire of the Centre of Forensic Sciences (toxicology section); Chuck Rifici, president and chief executive officer of Tweed Inc.; and Dr. Darren Courtney of the Youth Inpatient Unit at ROMHC. A cake cutting ceremony was held to celebrate the 20th network day.

The vision of the Lanark County and Town of Smiths Falls Municipal Drug Strategy committee is “a healthy community free from alcohol and drug misuse/abuse.”

“Our mission statement is: ‘We want to encourage communication and collaboration across the four pillars, to meet the needs of Lanark County’,” Schnittker said.

The next network day takes place in October.

Carleton Place Home Depot supports social enterprise at YAK Thanks to the generosity of Carleton Place’s Home Depot, those at Perth’s Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) will have a new shed to store their e-waste.

YAK has been collecting electronics (and receiving donations from the community) for about two years now. YAK gets enough televisions and computers (among other things) at the ends of their electronic lives to fill this shed throughout the year. It’s then recycled and the money they get from the materials helps to alleviate their everyday expenses.

Strong winds upended the old shed at Christmas time and they weren’t able to salvage it.

“The strong winds that blew through Perth on Christmas Eve last year caught the edge of the Youth Action Kommittee’s (YAK) metal e-waste storage shed and threatened to put a damper on an important program for the youth centre,” said Tanis Cowan, YAK’s executive director.

“When a YAK staff drove by the facility on Christmas Day, they found the shed had been blown across the Shandex (Perth Soap) parking lot. The shed was not salvageable and that left the youth centre without a place to store donated electronics - the key component to YAK’s very successful e-waste recycling program.”

After a call for help went out to the community, The Home Depot in Carleton Place has come to YAK’s rescue.

“It is important for us to be good neighbours, to keep the area tidy and to run all aspects of our business well,” Tanis Cowan, YAK’s executive director, said. “We’re very thankful to Home Depot for their help and donation of materials to build the shed for us.”

According to Dennis Beuerman, assistant store manager of Carleton Place’s Home Depot, it was a chance to help out in the community, “and it’s part of our core values… giving back in some way to our community,” he said. “This community focus on youth is a perfect opportunity for us to collaborate on a larger

scale, like Lanark County, as a partner.”

Beuerman said he was able to get donations of shingles from Gaf and paint from Behr.

“We will have the shed built today and then the kids who come to YAK have expressed an interest in painting the shed, so we will leave that to them.”

Since the beginning of the e-waste recycling program in Perth YAK and their local partner Garbage Gofer have diverted over well over 100,000 pounds of electronics from local landfills. Once the electronics leave YAK, they are sorted by the staff at Garbage Gofer in Perth then transported to a government approved recycling facility in the GTA. This ensures that the various components of the electronics are separated and put back into the manufacturing process in an environmentally sound way.

Once that is done, the Ontario Electronics Stewardship provides a modest payment for service.

More and more not for profit agencies are exploring the benefits of running social enterprises like shops, cafes or recycling programs to help generate additional income to help supplement grants and to support their activities in the community.

It is important for the YAK organization to continually be looking for ways to be more selfsufficient and to generate funds to keep their doors open and the lights on and funds raised from the e-waste recycling program help.

The recycling program/social enterprise also gives youth a chance to gain customer service and small business skills.

When adults come in to YAK who have e-waste, they are immediately greeted by a big, bright, welcoming space and by friendly “YAKKERS” who are ready to help. Local youth also help with special event planning and promotion.

That is what Beuerman said he noticed when he attended a meeting about rural youth homelessness at YAK recently.

“I heard about the damaged ewaste shed in passing and when

Employees from Home Depot, Carleton Place, teamed up with Perth’s Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) on June 11 to build a new e-waste shed. The project is part of Home Depot’s core values of giving back to the community it serves. Pictured are YAK’s Kat Watson, Skills Link program coordinator and Tanis Cowan, executive director; and Home Depot employees Ron Gilles, Louis DiMarco, Gregory Smith, Natasha Irwin, Cathy Giles and Dennis Beuerman.

I left the meeting at YAK I went back to the office and got right to work to try to find the funds to replace it.”

Beuerman recognized that the programs that YAK offers for local youth the great volunteer work that the YAK youth are doing in the community match the goals of Home Depot Canada Foundation’s Orange Door and the Team Depot programs.

According to the Home Depot’s website, Orange Door project is focused on improving places through renovation and repair projects and supporting programs that give youth the resources they require to build brighter futures.

Home Depot Canada Foundation acknowledges that homelessness affects tens of thousands of young people every year, comes with extraordinarily high personal and socio-economic costs, and is under-prioritized in terms of research based policy and adequate funding.

We want to change that and are committed to taking action through The Orange Door Project to bring housing and hope to homeless youth in Canada.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

IN MEMORIAM

DEVITT, Robert (Bob) – In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away July 31, 2006.

Time speeds on, nine years have passed, Since death its gloom, its shadow cast.

Within our home where all seemed bright, And took from us a shining light.

We miss that light and ever will, His vacant place there is none can fill.

Down here we mourn, but not in vain, For up in Heaven we will meet again.

Always in our thoughts and sadly missed, Loving wife Lorena and Crystal, John, Meredith and Bailey

ALLAN – In loving memory of Maude, wife and mother who passed away July 28, 2011.

As time goes on without you, And the days turn into years, They hold a million memories, And a thousand silent tears.

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

We love you and miss you Until we meet again Bill, Rosemary, Gord and all our relatives and friends

For many years the Late Lion Carl Sadler and his family supplied many in the community with Gladiolus in time for decoration days at local cemeteries. Following Carl’s passing his wife Shirley and their girls, offered the Lions Club this project as a fund raiser. We gladly accepted and named the project “The Lion Carl Sadler Memorial Fund Raiser”. In that way our club can raise funds to contribute back to the community and keep the motto of Lionism “We Serve” and the spirit of Lion Carl alive in Almonte.

The busy summer holiday season is upon us and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is making every effort to effectively manage the increased volumes of passengers during this peak period; travellers can facilitate their passage at the border by keeping the following tips in mind: • Plan ahead to avoid delays at the Canada-US land border. The CBSA suggests that you avoid travelling during peak periods, which occur mainly during weekends and statutory holidays, between 2 p.m. and midnight. You may also keep track of border wait times.

To inquire about border wait times at major ports of entry, you may consult the CBSA website (http://www.cbsaasfc.gc.ca/bwt-taf/menu-eng.html), or Twitter (general: @CBSA_BWT; StBernard-de-Lacolle: @CBSA_SBL; Stanstead: @CBSA_STD; St-Armand/ Philipsburg: @CBSA_SAP).

• Bring appropriate identification for yourself and for all children travelling with you, regardless of their age. CBSA officers watch closely for missing children and may ask you detailed questions about the children you are travelling with. If you have or share legal custody of the children, have copies of the relevant legal documents, such as custody rights, on hand.

HELP WANTED

• Declare all merchandise you have bought and received and have all your receipts on hand. Officers may ask you to show receipts for the goods you have purchased and your hotel receipts to verify the length of your stay outside Canada. Keep all of your receipts together and on hand to avoid unnecessary delays.

• Be aware of your personal exemptions. Depending on the length of your stay abroad, you may be entitled to certain personal exemptions. If you are away for less than 24 hours, there is no tax exemption, but if you are away 24 hours or more, you can bring back $200 worth of goods, tax and duty-free. Away for 48 hours or more and that figure goes up to $800 Canadian. Alcoholic beverages and tobacco products may be included in your 48-hour or seven-day exemption, provided you are of legal age.

Certain restrictions apply.

The following amounts of tobacco products may be imported free of duty and taxes (when stays are more than 48 hours): 200 cigarettes; 50 cigars or cigarillos; 200 tobacco sticks; and 200 grams (seven ounces) of manufactured tobacco (a special duty fee might be applicable).

• Know before you go. Certain goods are prohibited or restricted from entering Canada (weapons, certain plant and HELP WANTED

animal products, etc.). You can find out more about this by consulting the information document Residents Returning to Canada: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/ travel-voyage/ifcrc-rpcrc-eng.html.

“Many persons will be travelling this summer. The CBSA is making every effort to ensure that their experience at the border is as smooth and efficient as possible. I encourage anyone coming to Canada’s borders over the holidays to visit the CBSA website for the most up-to-date travel tips and advice, and to plan accordingly,” stated Benoît Chiquette, regional director general, CBSA, Quebec region.

NEXUS program If you are a citizen or permanent resident of Canada or the United States, you can apply to become a member of NEXUS, a program designed to expedite the border clearance process for low-risk, pre-approved travellers into Canada and the United States. More information about this program is available at www. nexus.gc.ca.

For more information, visit the CBSA Web site at www.cbsa.gc.ca or contact the Border Information Service at 1‑800‑461-9999.
