In terms of trails, Mr. Greaves noted the Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation was established in 2006 with dedicated volunteers who manage county trails with the public works department and other partners. He highlighted progress on the Lanark County Ring Trail, which aims to link all eight local municipalities. So far it includes the K&P Trail

Public meeting to address ANSI designations Council approved a motion to hold a public meeting related to an official plan amendment to the Lanark County Sustainable Communities Official Plan (SCOP) to identify three classifications of Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI). When the SCOP was approved in June 2012, geographic information was provided by Land Information Ontario through its Ontario Geographic Data Entry system. The ANSI layer was provided to the county in “base format,” which has since been differentiated into three distinct layers: Life Science ANSI, Earth Science ANSI and Candidate ANSI. There are different setbacks and types of studies required for development proposals adjacent to each type.

Fundraising for Tay River Pathway extension kicks into full gear Ashley Kulp

TICO#50007364

There’s no underestimating the healing power of nature. After getting the green light to go ahead and fundraise for an extension to the Tay River Pathway, the Lanark Lodge Council of Families and Friends recently launched their Reach the River campaign to raise $67,000 by August so the project can be completed by the summer’s end. It’s an ambitious goal to raise those funds in two months, but the council has already realized $28,000. The wheelchair-accessible pathway was first built in 2009 and is located in behind Lanark Lodge, Perth Community Care and the Lanark County administration building. The county’s public works department had agreed to complete the largest part of the extension, a 300-metre loop around an area of shady pine trees, by the summer

but finished ahead of schedule on April 29. That leaves a 95-metre portion which will include a boardwalk and viewing deck on the Tay River to provide an accessible outdoor experience for all. On May 20, some residents of Lanark Lodge and staff, along with lodge director Deborah Pidgeon and Lanark Lodge Council of Families and Friends’ Nicola Oddy and Dianne Czerwinski walked the new section under sunny skies. With wide smiles on their faces, it was clear the pathway is an important treasure to Lanark Lodge. Pidgeon said she’s “very excited” for the completion of the pathway. “It’s great to see the focus and energy of the council. It’s a big positive when you look at how they advocate on behalf of the residents,” she said. “Their energy and enthusiasm is contagious, quite Ashley Kulp/METROLAND frankly.” Lanark Lodge residents and staff loop around a shady pine area of the That connection to nature has many benefits for not only the residents of the Tay River Pathway.

two long-term care residences, but also the outlying community. “It’s been well-utilized by individuals in the surrounding communities as well and for us, it’s about connecting the external community and residents, both of Lanark Lodge and the community at large,” Pidgeon noted. “For residents, that ability to connect with things that are very familiar to them is most important.” She said she looks forward to seeing residents making use of the boardwalk and viewing deck and having access to the river. “…There may be an opportunity to fish or see boats, all of the things our residents have done for the last 60, 70 or 80 years before coming to us,” she stated. Czerwinski was part of the original committee that established the first part of the pathway in 2009. See PATHWAY page 4

She and Oddy both have parents residing at Lanark Lodge. She indicated that at the moment, the Lanark Lodge Council of Families and Friends are finalizing the drawings for the remaining section. She indicated the group was lucky to have found architect Geoff Hodgins and John Stewart of Commonwealth Historic Resource Management Ltd. to help with the plans. The area has been staked and clearing is also underway. In fact, that afternoon, the project received permit approval from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. “This means we’re doing this in a way that won’t harm the land and meets their requirements,” commented Czerwinski. On June 6, Oddy announced that they had “incredible news” with an anonymous donor, “who is going to match funds up to $10,000 in honour of Father’s Day. We’re calling I the Father’s Day Challenge.’” Fundraising The council is wasting no time adding to the funds they’ve already raised for the project and recently received $1,650 through a Mother’s Day campaign where Chuck Shenkman and Heather

Lanark Lodge residents and staff, as well as members of the lodge’s Council of Families and Friends, gather for a photo May 20 after completing a pass on the Tay River Pathway. After Lanark County’s public works department completed a 300-metre portion on April 29, the council is looking to complete its final phase of the project, a 95-metre extension that will reach the Tay River, featuring a boardwalk and viewing deck. Trail Music Resources matched donations made on the day. Plans are in the works for further fundraising initiatives, but are too early to publicize. Norman Gillies, a 96-year-old resident of the lodge and avid painter, has put his talents to use

for the project, donating a piece of art depicting chickadees for the group to auction off. He’s done the same for CHEO in the past and wanted to help an initiative close to home from which he will benefit. “I think if the settlers knew

about this (pathway), they would be awfully happy,” Gillies commented. “They left us with a legacy to look after this place and I think that’s what we’re doing.

The townspeople and visitors will all be able to enjoy it.” Debbie Wilson, chair of the Lanark Lodge residents’ council, echoed Gillies’ sentiments about the pathway serving as a legacy. “This is a tranquility we don’t always get in the home,” she admitted. “So it will add to the quality of life of residents.” “I’ll enjoy it when they get to the river. There’s something about water. It’s mystical and lifeaffirming. I enjoy the pathway, but the goal is to see that river,” Wilson added. Wilson, who wrote a letter of support for the pathway extension on behalf of the residents’ council, called Czerwinski and Oddy “amazing” for what they’ve accomplished thus far. “To catch a glimpse of what they see and go with it, I think Dianne and Nicola are amazing people,” she commented. The timing for the project couldn’t be more perfect, with June 4 to 10 being celebrated as Family Council Week in Ontario. Mandated by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Czerwinski said the pathway connects with one of the biggest areas the week recognizes:

“enhancing the quality of life four our parents, loved ones and friends.” “…But this (pathway) is way bigger than what we’re doing for the residents here. This is definitely something that the whole community can embrace and are starting to embrace,” she continued. “I think it will bring everybody closer to nature and out walking in a safe environment.” Czerwinski and Oddy are humbled by the support from the community for the project and acknowledged Perth Community Care next door is also on board. “They’re stepping up to the plate as well because they know it’s going to benefit them as well,” Czerwinski said. For more info on the Tay River pathway extension and Reach the River fundraising campaign as well as ways to donate, visit www.tayriverpathway.ca. Search for it on Facebook (Tay River Pathway). “This is a hidden treasure, pure and absolutely untouched nature. It’s a legacy for (Lanark Lodge Council of) Family and Friends, but also for future generations of the community,” Oddy stressed.

Liberals and NDP refuse tax breaks for charitable donations, Brown says

Gord Brown, Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville – Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, says that the new Liberal government continues to attack Canadian values. “Yesterday the Liberal majority combined with their friends in the NDP to deny Canadians who give to charities the same tax breaks they receive when donating to a political party,” explains Brown. “They voted to keep their preferential tax treatment of political donations over donations to registered charities. “This continues their attack on Canadian values which started when they clawed back income splitting and tax breaks for Canadians with children enrolled in arts and sports programs,” he claims in a press release. Federal tax credits for political contributions far exceed the federal tax credits for donations to registered charities in Canada. MP Ted Falk’s Private Members Bill - C-239 – The Fairness in Charitable Gifts Act, would have allowed registered charities to provide their donors with the same generous donation receipts that politicians can now issue. The Bill was defeated by the Liberals and NDP yesterday. The changes would have provided a very powerful incentive for Canadians to increase their charitable giving. “The Fairness in Charitable Gifts Act would have leveled the playing field between

donations to political parties and donations to registered charitable organizations,” says Brown. “A number of charities in the riding have contacted me in support of this Bill.” “The large number of Liberal MPs voting against this bill ensured its demise. Apparently many still believe that feeding politicians is more important than feeding the hungry,” says Falk. “The long-standing belief of Liberals that they are entitled to their entitlements is apparently still alive and well,” adds Falk. “They have placed their own entitlement attitude in front of the best interests of the poor, the homeless, the hungry and the sick. For them to continue to support such an unfair system is self-serving and simply wrong.” Every single day and night across Canada, charities provide food for the hungry, beds for the homeless and hope to the sick. Charities advance scientific and medical research, promote education and care for our environment. “MPs who voted against this bill need to explain to Canadians why they believe that they should continue to have an unfair advantage over registered charities when it comes to fundraising and federal tax credits,” suggests Brown. The number of Canadians donating to charities has been on a long-term decline across the country. The percentage of tax filers claiming donations in 2013 fell to

21.87 per cent from its high of 29.5 per cent in 1990. According to Statistics Canada (2010), 10 per cent of donors account for 63 per cent of all charitable donations in Canada. A rebalancing is needed. This bill would have encouraged donations from the largest segments of the population - those who currently donate under $400 per year as well as those who currently do not donate at all. Charities across Canada would have benefitted greatly as more dollars would have been freed up for donations. Here is how the Bill would have worked.

Current federal tax credits for charitable donations are 15 per cent on the first $200 in donations and 29 per cent for donations above $200.

Bill C-239 proposed to raise the federal donation tax credit for donations to registered Canadian charities. Canadians donating to registered Canadian Charities would have received the following: • A 75 per cent federal tax credit on the first $400 of total annual donations. • A 50 per cent federal tax credit on the next $350 of total annual donations. • And a 33.3 per cent federal tax credit on all total annual donations over $750. The federal tax credits under Bill C-239 would have then been in line with federal political tax donation credits. Submitted by the office of Gord Brown, MP

EOWC hosts successful meeting with federal MPs Earlier this month, members of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) welcomed their federal representatives from across the region to a breakfast meeting on Parliament Hill to discuss priorities and partnership opportunities that would directly benefit rural Eastern Ontario. Warden Peter Emon, chair of the EOWC, and MP Mike Bossio, chair of the National Rural Caucus, delivered the opening remarks on behalf of their respective groups. Both spoke at length about the importance of a regional approach and the need for increased collaboration and partnership between the federal government and rural municipalities.

“Municipalities are your best partner, and the EOWC has a proven track record of providing accurate research to upper levels of government and completing projects on time and on budget, such as the Eastern Ontario Regional Network,” Chair Emon told his federal counterparts. “With its history of success, Eastern Ontario can be the model that the rest of Canada benefits from.” The regional priorities discussed Monday morning include stable infrastructure funding for roads and bridges – rural Eastern Ontario’s public transit network – through continued support for the federal gas tax contributions; economic development resources to

Scotland Funeral Home adds memorial tree program Scotland Funeral Home of Elgin has joined a global initiative on behalf of funeral professionals by becoming a proud supporter of the Honouring a Life Memorial Tree Program. This program is administered through Funeral Solutions Group and is being hailed as a global initiative designed to bring funeral professionals across the globe together to make a difference in our world and a difference to the families they serve. The Funeral Solutions Group is working in conjunction with the Forestry Organizations across the world, they have already established partners in Canada, U.S., Beijing, UK, Israel and Australia, with more and more countries expected. Funeral Solutions spokesperson Kevin Montroy said, “The program consists of a beautiful card and bookmark, this stationary component is sent by the funeral home to the families they serve indicating that they have arranged for the planting of a memorial tree for their loved one. In turn, on an annual basis, the species and forest location of each tree is then provided to the Funeral Solutions Group which in turn will be posted on the Honouring A Life website in perpetuity for future generations. The memorial trees are planted

in the region of the greatest need to help support reforestation efforts. “This has to be the best program that I have ever provided for my families, especially now in the wake of the devastation that we all have been educated on regarding Fort McMurray, Alberta,” said Dave Scotland of Scotland Funeral Home. “I honestly felt this was the responsible thing to do and such an incredible way of giving back to our environment. Each family receives a hand written note on a beautiful card, I then place this in the mail within a few weeks after the funeral service indicating our gesture that a tree has been planted in memory of their loved one. I do this for all of our families, regardless of the level of service they chose. I am sincerely overwhelmed by the positive feedback and gratitude we receive from the families we have served.” A wonderful feature about this program is that you can go online and visit the Honouring A Life website located at www. honouringalife.org and make your donation in memory of anyone you choose. You can also learn more about the memorial tree program by searching the website of any participating funeral provider, or to Dave Scotland at 613359-5555 or at www. scotlandfuneralhome.com

support both small businesses and large industries in rural sectors, with funding from the Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODF) being distributed through an existing network of fifteen Community Futures Development Corporations

(CFDCs) across the region; economic growth through improved digital infrastructure, by closing the cellular network coverage gaps that exist in many small and rural communities; and support for a strong regional transportation network that focuses on

export and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on the ports at Picton, Prescott and Cornwall. “The federal government demonstrated a willingness to continue working together with rural municipalities to improve

their infrastructure and grow their economy, and this week’s meeting was further proof of the mutual collaboration between both sectors,” added Warden Gail Code of Lanark County.

Learn about local food sources

f you aren’t familiar with the Two Rivers Food Hub, you should be. The not-for-profit organization which acts as a connection between local food producers and buyers, marked its first anniversary at its location in Smiths Falls’ Gallipeau Centre May 25. Visitors had the opportunity to tour the expansive facility, including a large commercial kitchen, see construction underway on a 16,000 cubic foot cooler area, and sample items created by local producers in that very kitchen. According to food hub board co-chair Peter McKenna, hiring general manager Bruce Enloe, a local food champion who is also the owner of Kemptville’s The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill, has allowed for many advancements over the past year. Those include the aforementioned kitchen and bakery space with professional equipment, a wholesale aggregation and distribution service, weekly local food basket program during the summer (monthly in winter). Add to that a new membership program that

was launched at the May 25 open house that provides different opportunities for supporters, buyers, producers/processors. The passion and dedication to the local food movement is evident in Enloe, McKenna, the 10-member board, volunteers and producers. Their excitement in developing a food system, making it easier to buy local and grow local is contagious and why shouldn’t it be? Local produce and food products grown and made within Lanark, Leeds and Grenville is not only fresher and tastier, but knowing you are supporting the farm community and small business owners is a bonus and boost to the economy. It’s easy to find out more about the Two Rivers Food Hub (visit www. tworiversfoodhub.com). Last year, their information nights and workshops were attended by more than 600 people, but the word about this innovative enterprise needs to be broadcast far and wide. Initiatives such as this are the future of food in the tri-county area and should be supported every step of the way.

Fighting was a bit of a sport for the boys of the family

’m not interested!” Mother almost yelled in Earl’s direction, as he framed the kitchen door crying his eyes out. His nose was spouting blood like a fountain, and covered his shirt, and I could see he had also scraped his knees. He yelled louder, this time adding that Emerson had almost killed him. Again, Mother said, “I’m not interested. And go out and sit on the back stoop. You’re getting blood all over the floor that Audrey just scrubbed.” That’s how Mother dealt with fighting amongst the boys. Come to her for sympathy or to have her intervene, and they were sent packing! I was more interested in the fights than was Mother. The three brothers were all different sizes, and it had nothing to do with their ages. Emerson, the middle brother, was

a whopper. At 12 years of age, stood just under six feet tall. Everett was somewhere in the middle, even though he was the oldest of the three. Earl was the youngest, but growing fast, and it looked like he would soon be taller than Everett. So they were a mixed lot. But when it came to fighting, Emerson usually came out on top. I found out that a fight could start over the simplest disagreement. It often had to do with barn chores. Whose turn it was to milk Ethel,

the cow who wouldn’t stand still, and who you could count on kicking over the milk pail at least once in every milking. Or whose turn it was to shovel the manure out the back door of the barn. A simple argument would spill over into a dragged out fight at the drop of a hat. Then too, the boys fought over slingshots. Slingshots were everywhere. They sat on the rail at the back door, and hung from the post at the gate. Always at the ready. There was always a squirrel or mouse to get rid of, or empty tin cans to knock off the back fence. Who owned what sling shot was the cause of many a scrap. Finally, Everett started scratching his initials on the ones he had made. But that didn’t work, because the three brothers had the same initials… and so the fight was on when it came to

ownership. The boys never went to Father to settle a fight. His response was completely different from Mother’s. While Mother sent the injured packing, Father would simply find jobs for the three boys to do, and they were never jobs they particularly enjoyed. Raking up the smoke house ashes was a hateful job, and the three brothers knew perfectly well if Father was asked to settle a fight, he almost always sent the complainer to the smoke house. It would take days to get the smell of smoldering hickory off the offender’s body! Even several dips in the Bonnechere failed to do the job. So going to Father to settle a fight was a last resort. Although I often argued with Emerson, he knew better than to make body contact. Back then boys simply did not hit girls!

My sister Audrey and I never fought. I was too in awe of my much older sister, who I thought was just about the smartest girl in all of Renfrew County. But I was always amazed at Mother, who could be most sympathetic to our woes and concerns, but could simply turn her back on my brothers fighting. Audrey said it was because she never liked to take sides. Audrey said she could be defending the very person who started the fight in the first place. And Audrey said, that in itself, could start another donnybrook. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Long-distance paddler follows route of nation’s founders

Photo courtesy Chris Must

Veteran long-distance paddler Max Finkelstein came to Smiths Falls June 9 to present a slide show of images recording his cross-Canada journeys by canoe. He donated copies of his two books, Canoeing a Continent and Paddling the Boreal Forest, to local libraries. From left are Karen Schecter of the Smiths Falls Public Library, Max Finkelstein, and Omar Simonyi representing the Merrickville Public Library. huge stretches of unexplored territory in the 18th and 19th century was a feat as demanding as competing in the Olympics today, said Finkelstein, “but they did it under abysmal conditions, eating pork and beans.” Alexander Mackenzie, said Finkelstein, was “a global thinker” whose ambition extended far beyond wanting to sell furs – he also wanted to discover a trade route to the Pacific. After arriving at Lake Athabasca, Mackenzie began his explorations with a 100-day trip up what is now known as the Mackenzie River, leading to the Arctic Ocean rather than the Pacific. His second ex-

pedition, down the Peace River, was successful. Finkelstein began following the routes originally travelled by Mackenzie in the summer of 1997, leaving Ottawa in May and taking copies of Mackenzie’s journals with him. He soon discovered the biggest changes to the nation’s rivers are due to the construction of massive hydroelectric dams. In addition to changing the course of the waterways, these dams are responsible for destroying the populations of eels and sturgeons that used to inhabit the rivers. An early landmark Finkelstein passed on his journey up the Ottawa

River was a massive rock located across from Deep River. Traces of native pictographs painted in red ochre can still be seen, although they are covered with modern spray-painted graffiti. “We’ve covered up the spirituality; we’ve covered up the beauty,” said Finkelstein. “But it’s still there.” Travelling 30 to 35 miles a day by canoe, Finkelstein eventually crossed Ontario to reach Lake Superior. “Mackenzie said Lake Superior was the most beautiful lake in the world, and I have to agree with him,” said Finkelstein. His 1997 journey also took Finkelstein to Lake Winnipeg, which made a less favourable impression: “Lake Winnipeg is a very nasty lake, because the wind blows all the time.” The first summer’s expedition ended at Cumberland House in Saskatchewan. Finkelstein decided to resume his travels in the summer of 1998 by starting from the west coast and heading east toward the centre of the country. Along the way he met his future wife, Connie and together they travelled 1,000 kilometres down the Peach River to Fort Chipewyan on Lake Athabasca. The couple’s son Isaac was born in 1999, the year Finkelstein finished his crossing of the continent by returning to Cumberland House. By this point, Finkelstein recalled, he had accomplished two personal goals. “First, I really knew what it was like to

be a Canadian.” Secondly, Finkelstein said he “stopped being a teenager” by becoming a husband and father. Finkelstein is a founding member of the organizing committee for Rideau Paddlefest. The third annual Paddlefest, featuring voyageur canoe races and tours, will take place Saturday, Aug. 6 at Lower Reach Park. Submitted by Chris Must.

From “the most beautiful lake in the world” to the toughest stretches of river rapids, Max Finkelstein has seen everything Canada’s waterways have to offer. Finkelstein published a book entitled Canoeing a Continent in 2002 after spending three summers in the 1990s following the actual route used by pioneering fur trader and explorer Alexander Mackenzie to reach the Pacific in 1793. Mackenzie was the first explorer to cross North America. In 2002 and 2003 Finkelstein followed up his trans-Canada canoe marathon by crossing Northern Quebec along routes originally travelled by Canadian geographer and map-maker A.P. Low, whose journeys took place a century after those of Alexander Mackenzie. Those expeditions were the subject of a second book entitled Paddling the Boreal Forest. Finkelstein, whose accomplishments as a paddler also include setting a world record by paddling up the Rideau from Kingston to Ottawa in just 22 hours, came to Smiths Falls June 9 to present a slide show of images taken during the journeys that inspired his books. He also donated copies of both books to the public libraries in Smiths Falls and Merrickville. Finkelstein told the audience at the Kinsmen Pavilion in Lower Reach Park June 9 that the accomplishments of the early voyageurs are so impressive that he regards them as supermen. Crossing

The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. “The real reason for this event is to give back to our community and support families in need. While we’re aiming to break the world record for the most cars washed in a single day, we know the event will be a success as all of the funds raised will be going to a great cause,” says Freeman Young, president of Krown Rust Control. “Our staff across the country are excited for our annual charity car wash. We’ve been planning this event for the past year and we’re

ready to wash for a wish.” Children’s Wish is a charity that helps Canadian children, families and communities by granting the favourite wish of a child diagnosed with a lifethreatening illness. Last year, Krown raised $40,000 for the charity and washed almost 4,000 cars. Currently, the world record for the most cars washed in one day is 6,277. “Krown knows the magic of a wish and with the support of Canadians, we can help to creates moments of joy that ease the pain of children diagnosed

with a life-threatening illnesses,” says Anjie Dietrich, National Manager of Corporate Development at Children’s Wish. “I am always inspired by the generosity of our supporters and look forward to celebrating the success of this year’s Wash for a Wish Car Wash.” The Krown Wash for a Wish Car Wash will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time at more than 200 Krown Rust Control centres across the country. In Smiths Falls, the event will be held at 15 Franklin St., behind Hank’s Tire. Crime Stoppers will be on

Catholic board offers annual report on the provision of Special Education programs and services

Superintendent of School Effectiveness, Dr. Donaleen Hawes, presented to Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario Trustees a draft copy of the Annual Report on the Provisions of Special Education Programs and Services, to be submitted to the Ministry of Education recently. The Special Education Plan for 2016-2017, as outlined in the Standards for School Boards’ Special Education Plans, has been compiled through consultation with stakeholders and key participants. The report includes recommendations to be implemented, including staffing allocations for schools, professional development plans for communication, and parent involvement. Special Education funding for the board is based on several grants provided by the Ministry of Education. In addition to the Special Education Per Pupil Amount (SEPPA) and the High Needs Allotment, the board provides funding from the Learning Opportunities Grant for prevention and early intervention programs and services.

The board approved the staffing, budget reductions and recommendations from the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC). The recommendations will be included in the Report to the Ministry of Education on the Provisions of Special Education Programs and Services. Draft Proposed Budget for 2016-2017 Superintendent of Business, Bonnie Norton, presented the draft proposed budget for 2016-2017 to the Board of Trustees. The draft budget includes an operating expenditure budget for compliance of $168.8 million, and a capital expenditure budget of $4.9 million for the 2016-2017 school year. All expenditure areas were carefully reviewed for efficiencies and to ensure excellence in Catholic program delivery for students across Eastern Ontario. The budget will be brought back to the board on June 21, 2016 for final review and approval. Submitted by the CDSBEO.

dian Red Cross Alberta Fires Appeal and pledged to match ETFO local donations up to an additional $50,000.The latter matching amount was realized with donations from ETFO locals across Ontario recently reaching $57,500.

Smiths Falls Horticultural Society gears up for spring flower show

The next meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society is at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95 at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21. A small fee is charged for non-members. This can be put towards a membership if you choose, entitling you to all the benefits that members enjoy including discounts on purchases at local garden centres. Everyone is invited to attend a special presentation by representatives from the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit who will give us a better understanding of ticks. Ticks have become very prevalent in our area and are a concern for anyone spending time outdoors. Our pets are affected as well. This is an opportunity to learn how to protect yourself and family as well as what steps to take if you discover ticks on you. The winners of our May photo contest were Brian Bellevue first, PattiAnn Baigent second and Donna Copp third. The topic for June is “Nature’s Wonders-a Close-up of a Flower”. The beginning of June was the time for the second photo in the Déjà vu contest. This month is our first judged flower show. The classes are listed in the yearbook on pages 12 and 13. Rules for showing are on page 11. Many of the horticultural specimens are found in your flower and vegetable gardens so check the classes and bring in your

Smiths Falls Horticultural Society showpieces for all to enjoy. You can check with Kathleen Lang for any assistance in placing your entries. The Design Division is another challenge with a class for novices included so please consider creating a design as listed in Division ll. All entries must be placed by 7 p.m. Please contact PattiAnn or Lorna for an update on the bus trip to Montreal Botanical Gardens that takes place on Saturday, June 25. There are plenty of seats. Non-members are welcome for an additional fee of $10 which registers you as a member, a requirement to attend. Cost for members is $45. Feel free to invite family and friends for the day. We invite you to walk by the community gardens at the library and Legion. Anneke headed a team of volunteers that planted the gardens this year. Thank you all for helping with this important project. Thank you also to all who helped with the plant sale. Everything went quickly. We appreciated the customers who attended and those who participated in our plant auction, anoth-

LEAVEYOURLASTING MARKFORCHEO’S CHILDREN&FAMILIES KATHLEEN BELIEVED IN THE GREAT LOVE OF NEW-BORN CHILDREN AND THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY CARE TO THEIR LIVES. FOR THAT REASON HER SON ESTABLISHED THE KATHLEEN ELIZABETH AND E. NEVILLE WARD ENDOWMENT FUND FOR NURSING EDUCATION IN HER MEMORY.

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO. We want it to be here for our kids, our kids’ kids and beyond that. That is what Forever CHEO is all about!

By making a planned gift to CHEO you not only help future generations of children, but you also provide some tax relief to your estate, while still providing for your family members. Here are some ways you can create your Forever CHEO legacy: make a bequest in your Will; create an endowment fund; name CHEO as the beneficiary of your RRSPs or RRIFs; or take out a life insurance policy with CHEO as the beneficiary.

CONSIDER CREATING A TRULY LASTING LEGACY AND HELP TO ENSURE THAT CHEO IS FOREVER PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Becoming free of debt is a top priority for homeowners Rising housing costs are making it difficult for homeowners to balance paying down their mortgage, saving for retirement and managing day-to-day expenses, a new Manulife Bank Canada survey shows. More than one in three homeowners (37 per cent) were caught short at least once in the past year and did not have enough to cover expenses, according to a recent release. Just four in 10 are confident they will have enough savings for retirement. For some, the rising cost of housing means they will approach retirement with significant home equity but insufficient savings to fund their retirements. “Our research has consistently found that becoming debt-free is among the top financial priorities for Canadian homeowners. They must also find a balance between debt repayment and saving for retirement so they don’t end up house-rich and asset poor,” said Rick Lunny, president and chief executive officer, Manulife Bank of Canada. “The best option is to work with an advisor to get a plan in place well before retirement to balance debt repayment, retirement savings and day-to-day spending.” The average Canadian homeowner with

a mortgage has an outstanding balance of $181,000, up from $175,000 reported last fall. Average mortgage debt remains highest in Vancouver, with an average of $259,000, compared to $217,000 for Calgary and Edmonton and $194,000 for Toronto. Homeowners also appear to be quite sensitive to changes in the value of the Canadian dollar. More than half (57 per cent) of survey respondents said the recent decline in the Canadian dollar would have some impact on their spending. Within this group, a quarter reported they’ve reduced online cross-border shopping, 23 per cent have reduced in-person cross-border shopping and nearly one in five (17 per cent) have changed or cancelled a trip to the United States as a result of the lower dollar. For most homeowners, their home is a key component of their vision for retirement. Almost all respondents (94 per cent) said they wish to continue to be homeowners during the first several years of retirement. Among those in their 50s, almost three quarters (74 per cent) would prefer to remain in their current home. Homeowners who find themselves with significant home equity but limited retire-

ment savings when they retire may have to make a difficult decision; namely, they may have to retire later than originally planned, accept a lower standard of living in retirement, move to a less expensive home and use extra equity to fund retirement or borrow against their home equity “If you reach retirement with significant home equity but limited savings you may need to adjust your thinking if you wish to stay in your current home,” said Lunny. “Your home is your castle, as they say, but it’s also a significant financial asset that you should take into account when planning your retirement income.”

The Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA) has released its annual report on the number of households waiting for rent-geared-to-income (RGI) housing in Ontario. Since 2003, the widely-cited reports have gathered data on the growing demand for affordable housing in Ontario. The final report in the series was issued recently. Demand for RGI housing has increased significantly in the last decade and, at the same time, housing policies and programs have also changed. RGI housing is no longer the only form of housing assistance available and local governments are implementing new and innovative programs. These locally-responsive initiatives reflect community need, but prevent cross-jurisdictional comparisons. “As the world of housing assistance evolves, municipal and regional governments

are finding new and unique ways to address housing need in their communities,” said ONPHA Executive Director Sharad Kerur. “But Ontario communities are very different, and truly responsive programs won’t be easily compared. There’s a risk that you’ll compare apples to oraanges.” “The federal government has committed to create a National Housing Strategy, which must include dedicated funding for the growth and sustainability of the non-profit housing sector,” explained Kerur. “Housing policies and programs are changing, but the need for all levels of government to come together and ensure that Ontarians have access to safe and secure places to call home remains the same.” ONPHA will continue to conduct research on housing trends and advocate for investment in affordable housing by all levels of government.

Highlights from the 2016 Waiting Lists Survey Report include:

Everyone wants to make their budget go further these days. When it comes to reducing your energy usage, there are lots of ways to save. The energy experts at Hydro One suggest starting with these easy changes:

• Change your furnace filter regularly. Set a reminder to change your furnace filter, and have a licensed HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) professional service your furnace and air conditioner, yearly to ensure they are operating at maximum efficiency. Hot water • Fix leaky faucets and toilets. That leaky tap or toilet, the one that you can hear while trying to get to sleep at night, is wasting 800 litres of water per month at one drop per second.

loads and the energy-saving drying cycle for additional efficiency. If you don’t have that feature, open the dishwasher when the wash cycle is complete and let the dishes air dry – this can reduce your energy use by 10 per cent. Lighting • Take a moment to adjust. As the days get longer, remember to adjust your outdoor light timer so you are only using electricity when you need to.

For more information, visit ManulifeBank.ca/debtresearch The Manulife Bank of Canada poll surveyed 2,373 Canadian homeowners in all provinces between ages 20 to 59 with household income of $50,000 or more. The survey was conducted online by Environics Research between Feb. 3 and 20, 2016. National results were weighted by province, income and age. Source: Manulife/CNW

The number of households waiting for RGI housing in Ontario has risen by over 45,000 in a little over a decade, reaching a new high of 171,360 households in 2015. The number has risen by 2,649 since the last report in 2015. The proportion of senior applicants has increased from 22 per cent to 32 per cent since 2003. Provincially, applicants now face an average wait time of nearly four years, though waits are much longer in high-demand urban areas. In the City of Toronto, where over 80,000 households are currently waiting, applicants can expect an average wait of 8.4 years. Source: ONPHA

Ninety per cent of Canadians will develop high blood pressure in their lifetime Although Canadians have a high awareness of many chronic conditions and diseases such as cancer and diabetes, they are less aware of an equally life- threatening condition – hypertension. According to a recent Ipsos survey commissioned by Dairy Farmers of Canada, 59 per cent of Canadians are concerned with developing high blood pressure – even though, in reality, 90 per cent will be diagnosed in their lifetime. Known as the silent killer, an estimated one in six people do not know they have high blood pressure, with more than six million Canadian adults affected by the condition. High blood pressure is the leading risk factor for death due to stroke and a major risk factor for heart disease. If left untreated, it can lead to coronary artery disease, dementia, heart and kidney failure, and other chronic diseases. However, the condition can be prevented or managed through lifestyle changes. “With Canadians facing such a high risk of developing high blood pressure, we all need to make healthy lifestyle choices, like striving towards a more balanced diet,” says Nathalie Savoie, registered dietitian and assistant director, nutrition, Dairy Farmers of Canada. “One of the tools to help prevent or manage your blood pressure is to eat a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as an adequate amount of milk product every day. In fact, milk products contain potassium, magnesium, calcium and protein, all of which have been shown to effectively help maintain a healthy blood pressure.” Other key survey findings include: • Canadians tend to attribute lifestyle (51 per cent) as a greater cause of high blood pressure than

age (22 per cent). However, the risk of developing high blood pressure drastically increases with age; more than 50 per cent of Canadians over the age of 60 live with high blood pressure.   • Most Canadians think that high blood pressure is more common in men than women. However, by age 60, it is actually more common among females – with more than half of all women being diagnosed with high blood pressure.   Registered Dietitians at Dairy Farmers Canada encourage Canadians to download the free Get Enough Helper App. For each day that the app is used, Dairy Farmers of Canada will donate one dollar to one of the following great causes: Heart and Stroke Foundation, Osteoporosis Canada or Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada (up to a maximum of $100,000 per organization).   For more information on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and to download the Get Enough Helper App, visit getenough.ca.   About Dairy Farmers of Canada   Founded in 1934, Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) is the national organization defending the interests of Canadian dairy farmers and striving to create favourable conditions for the Canadian dairy industry. Working within supply management, DFC promotes safe, high quality, sustainable, and nutritious Canadian dairy products made from 100 per cent Canadian milk through various marketing, nutrition, policy, and lobbying initiatives. Driven by a strong sense of community and pride, DFC and Canadian dairy farmers actively support a number of local and national initiatives. Visit dairyfarmers.ca for more information.

Elder abuse resources available It is estimated that between two and 10 per cent of older adults will experience one or more forms of abuse at some point during their senior years. Many elderly adults are abused in their own homes, relatives’ homes and even in facilities responsible for their care. On June 15, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, the South East Regional Elder Abuse Prevention Network (REAP) launched a public website to promote the resources and services that can help and will increase seniors’ safety and well-being to help create a community that is safe, secure, respectful and supportive for older adults to live in and enjoy independence free from abuse. “This site will provide up to date information on elder abuse for professionals and patients and families, including information about what is abuse and where to go for help in the South East region,” said Laurie French, Senior Manager Clinical Support & Utilization for the South East CCAC and Chair of REAP. “World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15 is our chance to focus our attention on the need for all of us to take responsibility in preventing elder abuse.

Local agencies working together to bring Positive Got Events? Parenting to Lanark County Communities Those who work with families on a variety of levels recognize that as rewarding as parenting is, most parents experience minor problems and seek additional parenting strategies. Local agencies recently worked together to offer the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program to provide Lanark County parents with additional “tools for their parenting toolkit” regardless of where they are at in their parenting journey. When Family and Children Services contacted the Health Unit wanting to partner together to offer the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program to parents in Smiths Falls, it seemed an opportune time to bring the initiative forward in a collaborative manner with other partners such as CROW and Connections. “The challenge was coordinating schedules that allowed seven people from four different agencies to meet and plan together,” said Gwendy Lapp, Triple P Community Outreach Practitioner. “The benefit of com-

ing together as agencies was being able to reduce barriers for parents such as transportation and child care costs in having the Group offered through the Connections program.” The parenting group ran primarily with 15 to 25 parents from the Connections program in Smiths Falls. Many of these parents had children between the ages of two to five which allowed for very similar learnings to occur and stories shared. Facilitated by Andrea Halliday, Child Protection Support Worker of Family and Children Services, this group started the end of March and just wrapped up on May 19. The eight weekly parenting sessions provided parents with positive parenting strategies to use at home as well as parent-led discussion on what was working well. Parents raved that it was “simple and straightforward”, “wonderful, and one parent noticed how much more positive her children are when she is positive, as she learned to be more patient.

D A E R P S HE

“We were proud to host this wonderful opportunity and look forward to continued partnerships with FCS, the Health Unit and CROW,” said Eliisa Bruder from Connections. The agencies anticipate working together again to offer another Triple P group session; details have yet to be finalized but will be posted on the website. The collaboration also initiated the idea to facilitate Café nights – small parenting group discussion events. That would allow for parents to make a onetime commitment rather than eight weeks and are based on a single topic. These have been started in Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Perth and are facilitated by the Health Unit.

How Healthy is the Middle Rideau?

RVCA Reports on State of Middle Rideau Subwatershed How healthy is the Middle Rideau? Readers can learn all about it in the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority’s (RVCA) Middle Rideau Subwatershed Report. This information-loaded report summarizes the subwatershed’s health by looking at four indicators: forests, wetlands, shorelines and water quality. This is the second subwatershed report for the Middle Rideau and compares baseline information that was collected in 2008. Changes are small, but understanding how to prevent cumulative long-term changes is essential. “RVCA has a great deal of information. Our monitoring efforts help us better understand watershed trends and help focus stewardship activities where they are needed the most,” said Martin Czarski, RVCA Watershed Ecologist. “Subwatershed reports are valuable tools for decision-makers at all levels — individuals, families, municipalities, counties and the province.” The Middle Rideau is nicely nestled in the middle of the Rideau system and drains over 825-square kilometres. Water flows

from the higher, rocky Rideau Lake Subwatershed into the flatter, farmland of the Middle Rideau Subwatershed. The subwatershed includes communities such as Jasper, Lombardy, Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Motts Mills. Water flows through the Middle Rideau on to the Lower Rideau at Burritts Rapids. “The Middle Rideau’s conditions are mostly fair and good,” says Czarski. “But human demands and impacts continue to grow. Now is the time to take important steps to maintain, protect and improve our current conditions.” Efforts can be simple things like keeping shorelines natural and planting trees to more complicated municipal planning and development projects that protect surface water quality and aquatic habitat through the creation of riparian buffers, and application of stormwater best management practices. The report identifies what the RVCA, municipalities, landowners, businesses and community groups can do to help make environmental gains.

For landowners looking to do their part, the RVCA provides a number of stewardship programs designed to improve watershed health. The programs provide technical expertise, grants and manpower. By connecting with landowners, the goal is to make real, on-the-ground improvements. Landowners who are interested in learning about possible projects can call the RVCA for details. This report is part of a series including reports on the Jock River (2010), Tay River (2011), Lower Rideau (2012), Kemptville Creek (2013) and Rideau Lakes (2014). Next year, similar comparisons on watershed health will be made for the Jock River Subwatershed. For your copy of this and other subwatershed reports, call the RVCA at 613-6923571 ext. 1177 or visit watersheds.rvca.ca. For those looking for more scientific information, monitoring results are available through the detailed catchment reports which are also available online at watersheds.rvca.ca.

Helpful summer camp tips for parents

The summer months can be a challenging time for working parents with young children. While the school year provides supervision and structure, summer break leaves parents in a conundrum – though they want to be available to supervise and spend time with their children, parents often don’t have that luxury during working hours. Alternatively, many parents are also available during the summer months, but want to provide their child with a nurturing and educational experience, imparting life skills and a chance for their child to socialize with peers during the school downtime. These are only a few of the many reasons parents opt for summer camps as a way to keep their children entertained, interested and supervised over the summer months. With camp season quickly approaching, the Canada Safety Council would like to remind parents to do their research, above all else. There is no shortage of summer camps being offered across Canada, and each of them is required to meet provincial and federal safety guidelines which span several topics including food, health, building codes and fire codes. Additionally, some summer camps seek out accreditation with the Canadian Camping Association (CCA,) a non-profit national organization that sets standards to meet and sometimes exceed the legal minimum. Parents should keep an eye out for this accreditation when researching an appropriate summer venue for their child. Here are a few more safety pointers to ensure you’re getting the most value for your money and the best camp experience for your child: • Ensure that camp counsellors and/or leaders are made aware of any health issues relating to your child. These can include food allergies, nature

If so, ask about life jackets, the supervision policies in the water, and if all instructors are trained in CPR. Are the lifeguards certified with the National Lifeguard Service?

Behind the scenes at the Classic Theatre Festival For three decades, Jennifer Stobart has been a trailblazer, working as one of Canada’s top stage managers for, among many other companies, Native Earth Performing Arts, Tapestry New Opera Works, Patria Music, Blyth Theatre, Upper Canada Playhouse, Victoria Playhouse, Petrolia, The Red Barn, Theatre Aquarius, Theatre Orangeville, The Citadel, Buddies In Bad Times, The Second City, and the Port Hope Festival Theatre. This summer, she stage manages two shows at the Classic Theatre Festival – Neil Simon’s comedy I Ought to Be in Pictures, and J.B. Priestley’s mystery An Inspector Calls – and wrote this intriguing look into what goes on behind the footlights each summer in Perth. For years, whenever I had been asked what I do for a living, I would be confounded to find a manner to describe my job to anyone who does not work in the theatre world. I would hem and haw and make a poor attempt to explain. The job description is fluid because, for each and every show, the demands of the position do change. To describe the aspects of my profession which do not alter, I stumbled upon two simple descriptions used by fellow stage managers which I have adopted as my own. Using those analogies, it seems one can understand the overview of my job, if not the job itself. It’s one that audiences will never see, but which is crucial to their enjoyment of a show.

Long before a show hits the stage, an intricate infrastructure comes together to form its foundation. There are numerous people involved in the production of any play. Their numbers and titles will vary depending on the size of the company and show, but for the most part, one can expect a company to consist of: a producer, a director, a choreographer (each of these duties can be performed by one or more people), a production manager, a technical director, (these two positions can also be filled by one person) a set designer, a prop designer, a costume designer (which can be one person or three) a lighting designer, a sound designer, a head/lighting technician, a sound technician, backstage crew, and a crew which consists of carpenters, painters, wardrobe department crew, and buyers (as you may have guessed, these jobs can all be done by one or more than 30 people depending again on the size of the production). Each and every one of the titled professionals can also have assistants. Depending upon the requirements of the show, there can be one or three assistant stage managers (ASMs) apprentices and/or production assistants. That is the production crew. Then there is the Front of House Staff as we call them: the Front of House Manager, the Box Office Manager, the ushers, the theatre custodians (all of these people are responsible for the comfort and safety of the audience). There can also

be a publicist, and an office staff. And then of course, naturally there are the actors and dancers and singers. There is but one stage manager (SM as we call them) per show. During the rehearsal period, when everyone is learning what will be required to make the show into the vision the director has for the overall production, the SM acts as, for lack of a better term, the communications officer. If one pictures each of those aforementioned personnel as points on a wheel, and the SM as the hub of the wheel. Then one needs to imagine a spoke leading from the SM to each of those people. That spoke transfers every vital piece of information required by each of those people as the show develops during rehearsal. This analogy gives one but a small idea of what an SM does during rehearsal. They are usually the first one into the hall and the last one out. Time keeping, schedule keeping, rule keeping, morale keeping, safety keeping, note keeping, list making, organization and communication… those all fall within the purview of their job as well. During the run of the play, the SM is the air traffic controller. They are not flying the plane; that is the crew and the actors. However, absolutely nothing takes off or lands without the say so of the SM. The SM handles and overlooks every aspect of the show. By contractual obligation the SM is charged with ‘maintaining the artistic and technical

intention of the production.’ those of us in a company are all paid to Calling lighting cues, sound cues, and make an audience wish to see our work fly cues, running sound or running light- – being an SM is a job which, by its very ing boards, keeping the house, quick nature, requires a person to not be nochanges, prop organization, backstage ticed.

Annual Arnprior Duplicate Bridge Tournament draws players from across Ontario They came for the butter tarts. They came for the chocolate cake. They came for the prizes, the giveaways, the draws. They came for the welcome. They came for the experience. They came to play bridge. Serious, competitive, duplicate bridge. A record number of players recently travelled from Montreal, Kingston, North Bay and Toronto to join area players for the seventh annual Arnprior Sectional Tournament – three days of intense highlevel competition. Attendance was up 20 per cent over last year. A record 40 tables contested the flagship Swiss Team event on Sunday. Visitors marveled at the warmth, the enthusiasm, and the generosity of this club and this town. The Arnprior Sectional has been described as one of the bestrun duplicate bridge tournaments in North America. Indeed the sectional is quite a story. Under the leadership and drive of Wayne Daze, our club manager, we have

a vision of a well-run tournament where everyone is well-satisfied, well-treated, and well-fed. This year, almost 60 of our members knocked themselves out baking an astonishing array of cookies, tarts, cakes, squares and scones. Everything was free for players. Our volunteers moved tables and chairs, set up, tore down, made coffee, sold tickets, collected money and generally made every single person feel welcome. Most of all it was done with joy and pride and in the spirit of cooperation. Our donors and sponsors…again…so generous! Local businesses provided thousands and thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, gift certificates and coupons. Well done everyone! Well done!

Where to find the ultimate in flavour and freshness

Five tips for safe boating is appropriate for your weight and activity (fishing, jet ski, kayak, etc.). 2. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL Alcohol slows down your reflexes and dulls your ability to react to the unexpected. The effects are amplified by the sun, wind and movement of the water, which in turn affects your vision and balance. Not only does alcohol increase your chances of an accident or falling into the water, it reduces your chances of survival in an emergency. 3. TAKE A BOATING COURSE For your own safety and for the safety of other boaters, you should know the proper driving techniques, rules to follow and navigation basics for your type of boat. Taking care and being aware are just as important when boating as they are when driving. Many boating accidents are preventable, so take a look at the following tips before your next boating trip in order to reduce your risk of having an accident. 1. ALWAYS WEAR A PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE (PFD) A brightly coloured PFD is much like a seat belt; it greatly increases your chances of survival in many situations. It prolongs your body’s ability to fight hypothermia by reducing heat loss, and it keeps you afloat if you’re knocked unconscious or are feeling weak. Make sure the fit of your PFD

Make sure you have on board all

the necessary equipment for your type of vessel, such as anchor, radio, buoys and navigation lights. Know where you’re going and respect the maximum load capacity of your boat. 5. NEVER SAIL ALONE No one can help you in an emergency if you’re alone. If you do go out by yourself, tell someone the route you plan to follow and take a cell phone, whistle or navigation lights with you so you can call for help or send a distress signal if necessary.

Whether it’s fruits, vegetables, cheese, bread or meat, doesn’t it feel good to prepare and savour it when it’s fresh and when you know it comes from a nearby producer? And where can you find produce that’s as fresh as it could possibly be? Directly from the producers or at a farmers market. At the market, you’ll find just-picked produce, fresh and frozen meat, preserves, prepared dishes and all kinds of other treats. Not only can you stock up on all sorts of delicious and nutritious foods at the farmers market, but you can support farmers in your area and help the local economy. And that’s not all; you’re also protecting the environment by doing your grocery shopping close to home. That’s because the food

you find at the sellers’ stalls didn’t have to travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometres before ending up on the table in front of you. This saves on fuel, but it also saves on packaging; food that comes from your region doesn’t have to be over-packaged in order to survive a long trip on the road. In short, public markets are as good for the planet as they are for your taste buds. Public markets offer a more authentic human experience, where people are friendly and the producers themselves can answer all your questions. They’re also more than happy to help you discover new foods that you might have always shied away from at the grocery store. So, what are you waiting for?

Three good reasons to go fishing There’s nothing quite like a fishing expedition. Experts and beginners never tire of this sport because there are so many good reasons to go fishing. Here are three that might help you finally convince your family to go with you. You never know, right? 1. SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE YOU LOVE Fishing trips are a great way to strengthen ties with family or friends. Plus, everybody can go home with some great stories to tell. It’s a great way to share your passion with those you love and teach them everything you know. And if you take your children fishing, it will be a real joy to see the expression on their faces when they land their first catch. 2. RELAX IN NATURE Forget tight schedules, traffic jams and daily stress; fishing lets you relax, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The country is a great place to recharge your batteries by getting outdoors and into the sun and fresh air. 3. THE ULTIMATE TREAT Do you love to cook and eat fish? You won’t find anything fresher and tastier than fish caught the same day. And it’s even better when you catch it yourself.

How healthy is the Middle Rideau?

How healthy is the Middle Rideau? Readers can learn all about it in the Rideau Valley Conservation Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (RVCA) Middle Rideau Subwatershed Report. This information-loaded report summarizes the subwatershedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health by looking at four indicators: forests, wetlands, shorelines and water quality. This is the second subwatershed report for the Middle Rideau and compares baseline information that was collected in 2008. Changes are small, but understanding how to prevent cumulative long-term changes is essential. The Middle Rideau is nicely nestled in the middle of the Rideau system and drains over 825-square kilometres. Water flows from the higher, rocky Rideau Lake Subwatershed into the flatter, farmland of the Middle Rideau Subwatershed. The subwatershed includes communities such as Jasper, Lombardy, Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Motts Mills. Water flows through the Middle Rideau on to the Lower Rideau at Burritts Rapids. Efforts can be simple things like keeping shorelines natural and planting trees to more complicated municipal planning and development projects that protect surface water quality and aquatic habitat through the creation of riparian buffers, and application of stormwater best management practices. The report identifies what the RVCA, municipalities, landowners, businesses and community groups can do to help make environmental gains. For landowners looking to do their part, the RVCA provides a number of stewardship programs designed to improve watershed health. The programs provide technical expertise, grants and manpower. By connecting with landowners, the goal is to make real, on-the-ground improvements. Landowners who are interested in learning about possible projects can call the RVCA for details. This report is part of a series including reports on the Jock River (2010), Tay River (2011), Lower Rideau (2012), Kemptville Creek (2013) and Rideau Lakes (2014). For your copy of this and other subwatershed reports, call the RVCA at 613-692-3571 ext. 1177 or visit watersheds. rvca.ca. For those looking for more scientific information, monitoring results are available through the detailed catchment reports which are also available online at watersheds.rvca.ca.

The next month is as good as it gets for European football fans For fans of European football the next month is as good as it gets. Every four years the top national soccer teams on the continent battle it out at the Euro Championships. Friday night host France kicked off proceedings scoring a late goal to edge Romania 2-1. Les Bleus are expected to go deep into the tournament. Not only because they’re the host team but also because their line-up is very strong. Six groups of four teams are currently battling it out in preliminary games (round-robin) to see who will reach the ‘Round of 16.’ Under the previous format just 16 national teams qualified for the venture. Just as they did previously the top two sides in each division will automatically qualify for the second round. But under the new format an additional four teams (with the next best records) also advance. That means a team with as little as one victory could earn a shot at the quarterfinals. Obviously the changes are intended to keep as many national teams as possible in the mix for as long as possible. That creates more interest and higher television ratings. Ultimately the tournament is about making money for advertisers who help underwrite the considerable cost of staging such a huge undertaking. Regular readers will know I’m a big

thon is the oldest cup competition in the world, the north London club made headlines. But Gunners haven’t won the Barclay’s Premier League championship since 2003-2004 when their famous “Invincibles” squad went undefeated. They are still the only top-flight side in modern English football history to go through an entire campaign without losing a game. This season Arsenal finished a distant second, 10 points behind surprise EPL winners Leicester City. Famously the Foxes overcame 5,000-1 odds to claim the trophy. The good news for Arsenal fans is that their team is arguably the best run in the league. They actually make money! They also have the longest serving manager in the league in the person of Arsène Wenger who, in August, will begin his 21st season in charge of the club. One of Gunners’ biggest problems in recent times has been injuries. Whether it’s bad luck or over training (I believe it’s the latter) Arsenal leads the league in serious injuries every campaign it seems. That point brings me back to the current Euro championship. It stands to reason that the more players compete, the greater the risk of injury. In my opinion the English football season is already far too long. For teams like Arsenal there is the

added pressure of two league tournaments (FA Cup and League Cup) along with the prestigious Champions League. The season begins in mid-August and doesn’t end until early May. Training for the next campaign resumes in early July. Therefore most players have about eight weeks off. Not much time to heal from the rigours of a lengthy and demanding season. Every four years you can add the Euro Championships to the mix. It is staged during the even numbered years between World Cups. That means the top players from Europe are recruited to play for their countries every two years. Therefore they don’t have an offseason. For even the youngest, most talented players I think year-round football is ridiculous! Given the gruelling schedule the game’s stars are forced to endure it is little wonder injuries leave some of the best sitting on the sidelines for extended periods. This year’s England team at the Euros is without star centre forward Danny Welbeck. The Arsenal striker suffered serious knee ligament damage in the second last game of the EPL campaign, which could keep him out all of next season. He had just nicely returned from a similar injury (to the other knee) that sidelined him for 10 months.

From page 33

Strong representation Wenger and the Arsenal ownership (an American and a Russian are the majority owners) must be holding their collective breaths as the current tournament plays out. Gunners have 10 players in the competition. To underline the international nature of the EPL just one of them, oft-injured midfielder Jack Wilshire, has suited up for England. Admittedly as a fan of the sport I thoroughly enjoy watching competitions such as the Euros and the World Cup. Despite the shame that has descended on FIFA, the world soccer governing body, the game itself is still one of the world’s best and easily the most popular sport on the planet. Putting aside the big money, the FIFA scandal, offshore ownership, a season that’s far too long and the related injury crisis in football, I will now take a look at the current Euro tournament. The expanded 24-team format made it easier for some lesser lights to qualify. England won every game during the tournament qualifying campaign. And this time around

the only team from the United Kingdom and Ireland that failed to make it was Scotland. Wales and Northern Ireland join England as UK representatives in the competition and the Republic of Ireland also qualified. England and Wales are both in Group B, along with Russia and Slovakia. England outplayed Russia in their opener Saturday but fell victim to a late goal in a 1-1 draw. Wales shocked Slovakia 2-1 in their first-ever tournament contest. England and Wales go head-to-head today (June 16) in a preliminary round clash that could determine which country advances. Northern Ireland, who are competing in the Euros for the first time ever, are in Group C matched against Germany, Poland and Ukraine. They made a respectable showing in their first game Sunday but lost 1-0 to a good Polish side. The Republic of Ireland has a particularly difficult task in Group D, which includes 2012 runners-up Italy, along with Belgium and Sweden. Defending champion Spain, as well as Italy, Ger-

many and host France are among the favourites. But I think the England squad may be the most talented that country has fielded in a long time. It all wraps up with the championship final at Stade de France just north of Paris on Sunday, July 10. In the wake of the deadly terrorist attacks in the French capital last November and in Brussels, Belgium on March 22, security is a huge concern at this championship. A nearly 100,000-strong security force is in place in an effort to prevent problems at the 10 venues across France. As of Monday the only problem had been fighting among rival fans. While I’m hopeful all will go well, like most football fans I’m looking past the security issues and fan violence and focusing on the tournament itself. This time I have four teams to cheer for which means I am following the 2016 Euros with even more interest than usual!

man’s character, Thaddeus, to enter the story seamlessly. It isn’t just Dylan’s past that affects the story. Merrick’s twin brother, the one who stole his money, enters the picture working for Walter. Everything connects with everything else in a plot that’s absolutely water-tight. It twists and turns and twists back again all leading to the eventual big reveal that’s every bit as incredible as the big reveal at the end of the first film. This is such a sweet cast. Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco work so well together. Lizzy Caplan has some big shoes to fill, but she approaches this role and film with such enthusiasm that it’s like she’s always been there. On the other side of things Daniel Radcliffe is a brilliant villain. It’s hard to imagine given his resume, but I love him as the ruthless sociopath. On top of the clever plot twists and talented cast the film creates some stunning illusions. The best part is you never know if the illusions are ‘real’ or CGI. One of the benefits of having David Copperfield as one of your producers. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Steve Eckford of Mississippi Lake bought the first Camp Day T-shirt on June 1, at the Highway 7 Tim Horton’s, with his wife Maureen Eckford holding one of the special day’s teddy bears and wearing one of the fundraising baseball caps.

Camp Day collects $12.6 million for the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation On June 1, 100 per cent of proceeds from coffee sales at participating Tim Hortons Restaurants, along with Camp Day bracelet sales and donations large and small from generous guests and restaurant owners, raised $12.6 million for the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation (THCF). All funds raised will help impact the lives of 19,000 kids from low-income families by sending them to one of seven THCF camps across North America this year, and supporting them to positively change their outlook on life. THCF camps provide so much more than visits to camp. The purposeful programming helps kids develop important life skills and the confidence to build a brighter future for themselves. In the past 25 years, more than $162 million has been raised – including proceeds from this year – providing more than 237,000 kids with the opportunity to become more responsible, caring and motivated individuals. “Camp Day is possible only with the support of our loyal guests, dedicated restaurant owners and team members, local celebrities, and volunteers,

who take the time to help us serve coffee and raise funds for the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation,” says David Clanachan, President & COO Tim Hortons Canada and chair, THCF. “We thank everyone for making our 25th annual Camp Day a success. Because of you, thousands of children will be given a camp experience that will provide the skills, confidence and strength to achieve their full potential.” With the funds raised on Camp Day, Tim Hortons Restaurant owners sponsor kids directly from their local communities to attend camp. They work closely with local youth organizations and schools to identify children who would benefit most from the experience. The THCF camp experience comes at absolutely no cost to kids or their families. “We are so grateful to everyone who supported Camp Day this year and helped us create thousands of opportunities for kids to develop the tools they need to grow into thriving, contributing members of their communities,” says Dave Newnham, president and executive director, Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. “At our THCF camps, we have a very

deliberate approach to empowering our campers. Without Camp Day, our largest annual fundraiser, these life changing experiences would not be possible.” This year, guests helped raise awareness about Camp Day by purchasing a Camp Day braided bracelet and spreading the word on social media using #CampDay. These bracelets (available in four different colours for $2 plus tax while supplies last) were inspired by the THCF GR8 Beads program which helps kids gain valuable life skills and values, such as responsibility and teamwork, that they can apply at home, school and in their communities. Guests were also able to see the impact of their coffee purchase right on their cup with a new Camp Day design and speech bubble that showcased some of the important outcomes of THCF Camps: helping kids believe in themselves, helping to create a brighter future, helping to build courage and confidence, and helping kids to be their best. Guests can continue to make donations to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation throughout the year at thcf. com.

Newgate 180 Addiction Solutions in Merrickville hosts open house Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

To look at it, you’d never know it was more than a stately brick home in Merrickville. But Newgate 180 Addiction Solutions is so much more than four walls. The addiction treatment center, located at 435 Main St. E., opened in 1975 and has been helping people on the road to recovery for over 40 years. Newgate 180 is a not-for-profit fee for service organization. In addition to the main facility, there is also a separate women’s facility that opened in 2007. The men’s facility can house up to 16 people and the women’s has capacity for six. “It doesn’t feel like an institution,” explained Newgate counsellor Althea Nwaelleh, as she provided a tour through the facility. “When people come here for 30 days, they’re very comfortable. After the 30 days, we have an 11 month follow-up, so it’s a full year program.” Newgate 180 functions around structure, with set meals and a full day of counselling and therapy. “Sunday is family day, so our clients have free time to spend with their families,” said Nwaelleh. Upon arrival, clients must hand over all their electronic devices. “To get unplugged,” explained Nwaelleh. “For some people, it’s triggering.” One of the unique methods at Newgate is to have clients write on a balloon something they want to let go of and then watch it float away. “It’s about changing information; a lot of people are not aware of what they’re doing and why they’re doing

it,” said Nwaelleh. Newgate 180 is an abstinence-based program and people must be sober for 72 hours prior to entering the treatment facility. “How we built the program is through abstinence,” said Nwaelleh. Other therapeutic methods include art, creative writing and yoga. “Things people wouldn’t ordinarily think to be part of an addictions program,” said Nwaelleh. “Getting in touch with their creativity helps people in recovery. It’s an effective part of the program.” In total, there are nine counsellors on staff at Newgate. “Our program is gender specific and co-ed (both men and women),” explained Dale Campbell, another counsellor. “A lot of our group sessions are co-ed.” She explained every day at Newgate begins with meditation. “We do all types of meditation,” said Campbell. “We want to expose clients to as many types as possible because meditation is an important tool to focus the mind.” Campbell specializes in relapse prevention and has worked at Newgate for the past six years. “We do relapse prevention sessions three times a week,” said Campbell. “That’s something that needs to be started right away. We start recovery planning halfway through the program – it’s very individualized.” She said addictive behaviour is similar across the board. “The substance is only the means,” said Campbell. “One of our groups is called triggers and cravings. It’s educational and helps people understand what happens to their bodies when they feel the need to use. They identify

Newgate is prepared to handle any

addiction, including gambling, sex addiction, alcoholism and drug abuse. “The most common forms of addiction we see is alcohol and cocaine,” said Campbell. “We are also seeing an increasing amount of marijuana and opiate abuse.” The majority of Newgate clients are functional addicts, who have yet to lose their home, job and family due to their addiction. “With early intervention, we have an intimate involvement with our client’s workplace and family,” said Campbell. “We have educational sessions with the family. We don’t just treat the individual; we treat their

whole environment. That’s the key and it’s powerful.” Recovery is very much a process of self-discovery, she explained. “Learning health and balance in all areas of your life,” said Campbell. “Our clients learn how to relax and learn how to laugh. This is very much a surrogate family.” An addict’s world is very small, she explained. “Once they decide they want to change, they open the door and the world becomes bigger.” For more information about Newgate 180, visit their website at www. newgate180.com or call (613)-2692672. “Your local furniture & appliance showroom.”

Paul Davis tells parents to follow the rules when it comes to social media Continued

From front page

Over the course of three days, Davis also spoke to all Grade 4 through 9 students in the area about the importance of social networking safety. He has reached over 285,000 students across three provinces and three states with his message to date. “Five years ago, the principal at my daughter’s school asked me why kids get into trouble with technology,” said Davis. “I said because moms and dads give their kids everything they want and they don’t put rules in place to protect them. I don’t blame the kids for getting in trouble online; I blame the parents for putting them in a position to get in trouble online.” Davis has been in information technology (IT) for 27 years and hacked his first computer when he was 14. “It gave me a pretty unique understanding of how vulnerable we are when we go online. Today I am not telling you to do anything – I am strongly suggesting you do a lot.” He said when you understand the risks associated with technology use, you will appreciate the benefits. “You know how we’ve failed children in 2016?” he continued. “Because we’ve allowed technology to parent our kids because we’re too busy.” He said nothing replaces a parent. “No technology, nothing,” said Davis. “Technology is to enhance their lives, to educate them, not supplement you.” The first thing you need to do with the technology you give your child is ensure it is not kept in the bedroom, he explained. Over 90 per cent of kids he spoke to said they had technology in their bedrooms. “Computers, iPads, iPods, tablets and phones do not belong in your child’s bedroom,”

said Davis. “Your children have a wonderful gift called curiosity – curiosity left by itself is a recipe for danger. It belongs in a common area of the home where you can guide them when they are using that technology. He surveys kids when he speaks at schools to find out how old they are when parents provide them technology. “Over the last two days, when I spoke to Grade 4, 5 and 6 (students), I asked questions and I got stats,” said Davis. “I asked them collectively, Kemptville and Merrickville, how many of you have Facebook and Instagram. Between the schools that I spoke to, on average 40 per cent of the kids in your community have Facebook and Instagram in Grade 4, 5 and 6. Facebook states you will not open up an account unless you are 13 years of age. If your child has Facebook, you and your child lied about their age in order to get it.” “One child said yeah, but they gave me rules,” he continued. “Oh great, so they broke the rules and now they expect you to follow their rules. That’s called hypocrisy.” He said electronics at the dinner table is rude and disrespectful. “Is anyone a doctor here? So you’re not that important that you need a phone at the table. Respect your kids and respect your families.” Approximately 30 to 35 per cent of the kids he spoke to at the schools had smartphones. “When I asked them why they had a smartphone, the number one reason given to me, in your community, in case of an emergency,” said Davis. “I look at your kids and say, what’s an emergency? They freeze; they don’t know what to say. In case someone is following me. In case I get kidnapped. How dumb are the kidnappers? You really don’t think the first thing a kidnapper would do is smash that smartphone? You

know what one child said to me, in Merrickville, in case I get lost. How many streets are there is that city? How do you get lost in Merrickville?” He said video game consoles, such as Xbox and Wii, do not belong in a child’s bedroom either. “When they are playing online, if your child says they are playing with a friend, I need you to quiz them,” said Davis. “If they can’t tell you who that friend is, they are playing with a stranger.” He said the top two games associated with online bullying are Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto. “Games that state you must be 17 years of age and older for violence, blood, gore and sexuality. I looked at your kids, in Grade 4, 5 and 6, and asked how many of you play these games? No fewer than 20 kids per school are at home playing these games. The game Grand Theft Auto 5 – the top selling game of all time – the game is not just about stealing cars. It’s about dealing drugs. You know what you do with the money after you deal drugs? You get to hire prostitutes. And then, your child in the game, gets to negotiate with a female what the value of her sexual services is. And then, after they have negotiated the fee for whatever service, look at the top screen, there they are having sex. The game is rated pornographic in Australian. There is full-on sex in the game – graphic. Now once they’re done the act, your child decides to mug the prostitute and there he is boot stomping her head. He grabs the money back he gave her to have sex and then if he wants to kill her, he goes over to the car and runs over her mangled body because she’s a worthless piece of flesh. When the police chase you down, you get rewarded for killing police officers.” He said technology has created a culture of zombies.

“Do you know how many texts the average high schooler send each month - 4,200.” Using proper sentence structure when texting is integral, he explained. “Make sure your children use proper sentence structure when they’re texting because it’s become habit forming,” said Davis. “Principals, teachers have told me when kids come to class they will substitute the word A-R-E with the letter R. They will replace Y-O-U with the letter U because it’s become so habit forming. It’s not ac-

ceptable.” He said parents need to look up texting apps such as KIK, and Snapchat and what their kids are using them for. “Texting has evolved into sexting,” said Davis. “Sexting is defined as sending nude or partially nude photos from one device to another.” He explained upon taking the photo it is considered creation of child pornography, upon sending it is distribution and the recipient is then in possession of child pornography.

In the United Kingdom, they are doing it as young as eight years old.

Two public meetings held regarding proposed Oxford Village subdivision in Kemptville Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

A zoning bylaw amendment application and the proposed revised plan of subdivision for Oxford Village, set to be located off County Road 43 between Food Basics and Somerville Road, were brought before committee of the whole on June 6. “This is two public meetings being held concurrently, for the zoning and plan of subdivision for the Oxford Village development,” said Phil Gerard, senior planner and acting director of the planning department. “Since our last meeting, and I should note for the record, the initial public meeting for this application was held on May 2 of this year and that meeting was adjourned and scheduled to be brought back this evening.” In the interim, he explained, the municipality received a revised draft plan of subdivision for the development. “The development will be phased into three different stages,” he said. “That’s the major change to the draft plan.” There is still a technical issue with the (Rideau Valley) Conservation Authority regarding a watercourse that passes through the subdivision currently. “Those negotiations are ongoing

and there may be some minor adjustments to this plan prior to final approval,” said Gerard. He explained the purpose of the meeting is to come back with proposed conditions of draft approval. The approval authority for subdivisions is the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, while the municipality acts as a commenting agency. “So we are providing our comments to them,” said Gerard. “We are asking for conditions. We are bringing forward 53 conditions of draft approval, which is not usual for this size of a development.” He highlighted a number of the important conditions of draft approval. “The draft plan is for 398 development units –single, detached, townhouse and apartment blocks – on full municipal services,” said Gerard. “Condition number two of the draft conditions is draft approval will be granted for three years and at the end of three years, if the subdivision has not been registered, condition number three says they can ask for a 12-month extension.” He explained if the development does not move forward in a timely manner, the municipality can withdraw capacity allocations for municipal water and sewer services. “Condition 11 says the municipali-

My vision when opening Breathe Dance Company, was to create a place where kids, teens and adults could come in to move freely within themselves.To learn that they are capable of achieving their goals by being none other than their true authentic selves. To grow strong, not only as a dancer but as person in today’s society. To experience expressing our emotions through movement, a skill that you’re never too young or too old to practise.

ty reserves the right to renegotiate any and all servicing of the development, including agreements with the owner to any of those previous conditions,” said Gerard. He explained the final approval of the draft plan is predicated on the installation and commissioning of a new reservoir within the development, in accordance with the municipal servicing plan. “Condition 23 indicates the owner will provide a block (of land) to the municipality to accommodate storm water management facilities,” said Gerard. “Condition 24 says the owner will convey 5 per cent of the land in the draft plan to the municipality to satisfy the park land dedication requirement in the Planning Act.” The zoning amendment application is to re-zone the lands from residential first density, special exemption (holding) and residential third density, special exemption to residential first density, special exemption (holding) and residential third density, environmental protection and flooding and erosion protection. Both public meetings were closed and council’s decision was deferred until the draft plan and conditions could be finalized. The Oxford Village development is being proposed by LA Group.

Hunting for deals at HeyDay The 56th annual HeyDay event, organized by the Kemptville District Hospital auxiliary in support of the hospital, was a major success. People lined up outside the door of the North Grenville Curling Club on June 10 hoping to score a deal. If the success of this years’ event were measured on community support and volunteerism, it was huge, stated one of the organizers. HeyDay would not be possible without the support of local groups, such as the Lions Club, the Kinsmen, the Rotary Club and the North Grenville Scouts. The money raised by this year’s HeyDay will be donated to the KDH to purchase equipment used to enhance the patient experience.

Merrickville House and Garden Tour Art, Jazz and the Garden returns this Saturday, June 18 This Saturday, June 18 marks the return of the annual Merrickville House and Garden Tour for an 11th year. This popular event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is sponsored by Holy Trinity Anglican Church and, according to the tour’s website (www.merrickville-house-tour.ca), it “will transport ticketholders through a wondrous metamorphosis of some of the area’s most impressive and historic homes and gardens.” The tour features 10 stops including four of the area’s most historic homes: the Stephen Merrick House (built in 1844); Villa Villekulla (dates back to 1885); Angel Manor on Kilmarnock island, the land on which the building sits was given to the sons of Benedict Arnold; and Anarchy Apartment, a two-storey apartment in an historic stone building on St. Lawrence Street in Merrick-

ville above Anarchy Studio. Among the five breath-taking gardens on the tour, two are found in Burritts Rapids: The Burritt Farm Garden and John French House Garden. Both properties date back to the early 1800s. Other stops are the Elgin Street Garden, and Samuel Pearson House Garden A and Garden B. The Rideau Woodland Ramble hosts its Art, Jazz and the Garden event from noon to 5 p.m. that day at 7210 Burritts Rapids Road. New to the tour this Saturday, antique cars will be stationed at each venue, a partnership with the Ottawa MG Club and Barry Phillips. The winner of a raffle will tour the Merrickville area in one of the vehicles at the end of the day. The draw, according to the website, will take place at the

church at 4:30 p.m. Raffle tickets are priced at $2 each or three for $5. Tour participants are also invited to visit The Blockhouse Museum. Costumed interpreters will be on hand to explain what life was like in Merrickville 200 years ago. There are three ways to purchase tickets ($30 each) for the tour: • by credit card by calling 613-269-4207, • in person at Mirick’s Landing Country Store at the corner of Main and St. Lawrence streets in Merrickville (cash only), • or online at www.merrickville-house-tour.com/tickets/ On the day of the tour starting at 8:30 a.m., bring your ticket to Holy Trinity (105 Church St. in Merrickville) to pick up a pass and map of the houses and gardens.

OPP warn of iTunes cards for ‘back taxes’ scam in region after Prescott resident loses $4,900 Grenville County Ontario Provincial Police are cautioning the public about a scam that has targeted homes in Prescott and resulted in the loss of $4,900 to one victim. iTunes gift cards are vastly used by consumers to purchase music and movies. The CAFC has seen an increase in complaints where fraudsters request payment through the purchase of iTunes gift cards. In 2016 alone, the CAFC has received 46 complaints involving the use of iTunes gift cards as payment with losses totaling $85,041. The most common approach reported has fraudsters impersonating the real Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Consumers receive a call or text message claiming that they owe ‘back taxes’ as the result of an audit. The payment must

be made immediately to avoid a fine. However, the recipient is told that the outstanding warrant that can be avoided if the payment is made promptly. In many cases, individuals are told they will be deported if the taxes are not paid right away. Consumers are instructed to purchase and activate iTunes gift cards and provide the codes back to the fraudsters. Warning sign(s) and how to protect yourself * If you are asked to pay for any service or product with an iTunes gift card, don’t do it, it’s a scam. * Ask yourself why

the CRA would be asking for payment through an iTunes gift card over the phone or text message when they already have you on file as a taxpayer. * Contact the CRA to confirm that you in fact owe back taxes, or are entitled to a refund, before providing any personal or banking information. * More information about fraud scams involving the CRA. Anyone with information on the above occurrence is asked to call Grenville County O.P.P. Communication Centre at 1-888-310-1122, the Kemptville Detachment at 613-258-3441 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-(TIPS) 8477 or submit your tip on-line at www.tipsubmit.com.

Service Ontario, Kemptville College file and employee code of conduct discussed at media briefing on June 7 Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

The following is a list of briefs from the media briefing, attended by CAO Brian Carre and deputy mayor Barb Tobin, held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on June 7. Delaying Service Ontario decision discussed A question was posed regarding the municipality’s reaction to the announcement on June 6 to put on hold the closure of the Service Ontario office in Kemptville. “Well from my perspective, I found out late in the day,” said Carré. “That the minister had made a statement they were delaying their decisions and they’re going to do a more in-depth review of the impact their decision would have on the people of Ontario. We’re quite pleased to hear that, but at the same time, myself as CAO, quite surprised that in the span of a couple weeks we’re going back to review what the impact will be on the people on Ontario. But they’re encouraging words and hopefully we’ll have an opportunity to have more of our say with the Ministry (of Government and Consumer Affairs) on why it definitely shouldn’t be closed.” “I think sometime what they do is make decisions without looking at figures or facts; expecting their underlings to have done that,” said Tobin. “Sometimes when they hear a big noise like this, it’s a sober second thought.” When asked whether the in-depth review would involve the municipality, Carré replied “I would hope so.” “When they made this announcement, it was a surprise, and it wasn’t made directly to the municipality – it was made publicly,” said Carré. “Just as they made the announcement to delay the decision was made publicly, so we don’t have a direct line (between the municipality and ministry).” Kemptville College negotiations are ‘going well’ The CAO was asked how the Kemptville College negotiations are going with the province. “They are going well,” said Carré. “We had to postpone this week’s meeting and we’re tentatively set for June 23, as an alternate date for that meeting. We’re getting into the heart of the negotiations at this point, so we’re hoping to get closer to the end goal, which is seeing us acquire the property.” LED streetlight program incentives discussed A question was posed as to why the incentive for the LED streetlight program dropped significantly from $85,000 to $37,000. “When we applied for the program, the maximum wattage was used to calculate the rebate,” said Carré. “We proceeded with the program. When the particular light bulbs were installed, this came to our light – pardon the pun – after the lights were installed that you can adjust them. A number of the lights – not all, but a lot of them – had the wattage reduced. Therefore, the rebate was reduced.” He explained the loan used to get the program up and running will be repaid within four years using Hydro One cost savings.

“At the end of the day, we still achieve our goal of having LED lighting, repaying the loan within four years and enjoying the savings for years to come,” said Carré. He explained the municipality was quite discouraged by the turnover of people managing their file during the program procurement. “This is an LAS (Local Authorities Services) program and they had Union Gas manage the program,” said Carré. “Midway through our program, they’re done. They get another group and assign a person to our file. Within three or four months, that person was gone and they assigned another person to our file. So the delay was tremendous. And when we found out about the reduction in the rebate, then we conducted an investigation. What we’ve concluded is because of the change in personnel, the communications could have been much better. But at the end of the day, the math doesn’t lie. The wattages is less on our lights than the maximum allowed under the program.” Employee code of conduct discussed A question was posed regarding the scope and depth of the newly proposed employee code of conduct for municipal staff. “I would encourage the people of North Grenville to read it,” said Carré. “When I put it forward yesterday, it crossed my mind that people would say wasn’t this always part of the culture at the municipality. The answer is yes. The reason we felt it was important at a staff level to bring it to council, as I mentioned to council yesterday, Bill 8 is giving swooping new powers to the (Ontario) Ombudsman, so if residents have a complaint with the municipality and they don’t feel it’s been dealt with properly, they can go to the ombudsman who now has the power to investigate the municipality. We feel it’s very important for our staff to know what the expectations are. So we basically put that on paper. And it talks about, in general terms, what is expected of staff – what we strive for. One thing I think is important, and you see it at other levels of government, is a whistleblower policy. If ever we were to have a staff member that would not conduct themselves in the way we would expect and what is the culture of North Grenville and people are aware and they don’t bring it up – that person is no better.” He explained the employee code of conduct is very similar to the one in place for members of council. When asked whether personal social media accounts belonging to municipal staff would be monitored for unbecoming content, Carré replied “we’ve always had that right. Because it’s public.” When asked whether social media content would be grounds for dismissal, he replied “it’s a case by case situation and depends on what’s been posted.” “What I would turn in is if I saw disrespectful comments made about staff here on someone’s Facebook site, that works for this municipality, I would whistle blow that myself,” said Tobin. “You can look forward this year, we’re going to be bringing forward a social media policy,” concluded Carré.

COUNT SMART

Specializing in Disability & Medical Tax Credits Recent statistics reveal that almost 40% of Canadians have some type of physical or mental limitation due to an identifiable disability or medical condition. What many of them (and their families) have in common is the lack of knowledge when it comes to successfully applying for a disability tax credit. Count Smart, headquartered in Orleans, may be a relatively new firm helping Canadians reduce their tax burden, but their expert staff represents decades in the field of tax regulations and they provide their service across Canada as well. Company president Barbara Mentus took some time recently to answer a few questions on a tax topic that is costing Canadians more than they ever imagined; failure to claim disability tax credits. What is a Disability Tax Credit? It’s a non-refundable income tax credit that can substantially reduce the tax burden on those suffering from or afflicted with a wide range of physical and mental challenges. This credit is available to both children and adults. It’s applicable to specific restrictions relating to walking, speaking, hearing, dressing, feeding, vision, bowel or bladder functions, life sustaining therapy and mental functions necessary for everyday life. It can relate to difficulty in completing everyday tasks. In order to qualify, the impairment must have lasted for a continuous period of at least 12 months, be verified by a medical doctor and must meet criteria set out by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). It can be applied to any taxable income of the individual involved or a family member that provides financial assistance for the basic necessities of life. There are specific requirements that must be present and consistent in order for a family member to claim the credit. There are also other associated credits that may be claimed alongside the disability tax credit. How much is this credit worth? To the average Canadian this can represent a major savings in income tax and it varies depending on income and other deductions. Depending on an individual’s situation, in some cases it can be applied retroactively for a 10 year period (if the impairment was in existence for that length of time) and they will receive a cheque for the value of the credit applied over those annual tax returns. This may be a large amount in the thousands of dollars depending on individual circumstances. What can Count Smart do to help those seeking this credit? Our representatives can help assess each individual in a confidential and respectful manner. We can assist in obtaining the necessary medical practitioners’ documents that CRA will need to verify application.Wewillhelpcompleteallthenecessarytaxadjustments to ensure that they are filed in proper order and to maximize our clients’ refunds on their behalf. Our staff has extensive background in accounting and tax regulations and has worked with many clients to help them achieve the credits they deserve. Why don’t those with disabilities get this credit as soon as they need it? In conversations with our clients we often find many were not aware that they may be eligible, others found dealing with Canada Revenue Agency overwhelming, others were previously denied the credit and simply gave up. Some don’t have the time or the knowledge to successfully navigate the red tape. Our staff handles the application from start to finish. We truly advocate on their behalf. How does Count Smart get paid for their services? There are no fees up front. We only get paid if they receive a refund. It’s a win-win situation because it is 100% risk free. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining a refund for our clients, there is no cost to the client. All it takes is a phone call. You can learn more about us on our website at countsmart.ca or by calling 1-844-832-1777 for your free consultation.

Committee discusses LED streetlights and lease agreement with Navy League The following is a list of briefs from the committee of the whole meeting held on June 6. LED streetlight program update “The public works department has an information item in your package this evening and it’s an update on the LED streetlight retrofit program,” said Karen Dunlop, director of public works. “As you’re aware, since 2013, both council and the public works department have been working with AMO (Association of Municipalities Ontario) and LAS (Local Authorities Services) to do a complete retrofit of 372 Cobra Head lights within the full Municipality of North Grenville.” She explained the original submission through LAS was not only for procurement, but also for grant submissions through Hydro One. “There’s been a dramatic change with regards to how they do their submissions, as well as the actual dollar value we are going to be receiving,” said Dunlop. “So, although in 2014, we thought we were receiving $85,000 – the program was also supposed to be completed in 2015 – our current value is about $37,000. The reason for this major change is we have dropped the number of 424 lights down to 372 and also the way the program works. The original submission, under the program by Union Gas, had all the lights, which are LED, at maximum wattage. As they were installed, those wattages were adjusted, based on the individual site specific considerations.” She said the capital cost of the program was originally identified as $256,000, but the actual cost was $199,000. “So yes, we are getting less money for incentive, but we are already seeing lower Hydro bills and the capital costs have dropped,” said Dunlop. The loan used to fund the program also has a lower amortized interest rate than originally identified, she explained.

naud declared a conflict of interest – both are involved with the Navy League of Canada – and stepped out of the room. “I’d just like to highlight some of the changes with the new lease,” said Kevin Henry, facilities superintendent. “We’re looking at a five-year lease, with an option to renew for an additional five years. The previous lease was renewed annually. The previous agreement allowed for the use by the Navy League on Saturday mornings and Monday mornings; the proposed lease identified the Saturday and Monday again, but additionally includes Sundays from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, one Friday per month and three weekends for overnight stays. Should the Navy League require additional time not identified in the lease, then typical rental rates would apply. The lease includes a rental increase from $546 to $837 per month, which is reflective of the additional hours identified in the lease. A two per cent increase per year would apply each of the five years. Of course, we’ll continue to rent the armoury to other groups and associations outside the hours identified in the lease, as we have been in the past. In closing, I would just like to say the Navy League have been using the facility since 2011 and by all accounts, have been an excellent tenant.”

Special interest group meetings with heritage consultant held – public consult date set “Just one note; we would like to advise that Letourneau Heritage Consulting and municipal staff are meeting with the North Grenville Heritage Advisory Committee tomorrow, June 7, at 2 p.m.,” said Henry. “And the North Grenville Historical Society tomorrow at 7 p.m. to discuss the potential future uses of the (Kemptville) court house and the former town hall in Oxford Mills. Further consultation will happen on Wednesday, June 22, at 7 p.m., here in the Urbandale Arts Centre, when the general public will be invited to New lease agreement with discuss the potential future the Navy League of Canada uses of these facilities.” for armoury building Prior to discussing this Council vacancy process item, councillors Frank discussed Onasanya and Donovan Ar“This item was before

council on May 2,” said Cahl Pominville, clerk. “All seemed to be in agreement with the general direction of the draft bylaw. There was some questions about some wording in section one of the draft, regarding filling the vacancy within six months of an election by appointing the person who would have been elected next based on the number of votes the person received and consented to the office.” Pominville undertook an analysis of the percentage of votes received by the candidates based on the number of people who voted for the last three municipal elections. “It showed that in the case of the mayoral candidates, the person who came third in the election only received a maximum of 21.3 per cent of the votes,” said Pominville. “In the case of the office of councillor, the person who came sixth got not higher than 38.2 per cent. So the recommendation is that you would take, for the case of mayor, you would fill the vacancy by appointed who would have been elected next based on number of votes received in the election and whether they consent to accept the office. If the runner-up does not consent, you would then follow section three of this bylaw, which is to interview and then appoint. In the case of councillor, if the vacancy occurs within six months of the election, the vacancy would be filled by appointing the person whose been elected next based on the number

of votes the person received in the election, if this person received the minimum of 40 per cent of the votes cast and has consented to accept this office. If the runner-up does not meet the 40 per cent requirement or does not consent to accept the office, council would then look to section three of the bylaw to interview and appoint.” He explained historically, in the last two elections, the runner-up for councillor received greater than 40 per cent of the vote. “In 2006 (election), they would have had 39.6 per cent,” said Pominville. “It does drop off, when you consider the sixth place person, the highest they got was 38.2 per cent of the votes of those cast in the election.” Employee code of conduct discussed “With respect with the proposed employee code of conduct, you will all recall the passing of Bill 8 (public sector and MPP accountability ad transparency act), providing the Ontario Ombudsman with the authority to investigate complaints made against municipalities,” said Bria Carré, CAO. “Senior staff deem it necessary now that an employee code of conduct be implemented as a best practice to facilitate the understanding for all municipal staff how their conduct has a direct impact on municipal business. As the act continues to evolve, it is anticipated an employee code of conduct will soon be required, pursuant to the Municipal

Act.” He explained the code of conduct outlines the principles of accountability, integrity, respect, dedication and team work. He explained some of the key areas addressed in the employee code of conduct include violence and harassment, alcohol and drug use, use of municipal property, gifts and entertainment, whistleblowing and enforcement. Bell agreement discussed “I do have something I would like to bring forward tonight and it’s regarding EORN (Eastern Ontario Regional Network) and our Bell agreement for internet services,” said Pominville. He explained in 2014, the municipality signed a five-year agreement with Bell for fibre(optic) internet services. “Our monthly fees are $895 per month,” said Pominville. “The EORN manages internet services contracts on behalf of the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus. EORN has negotiated an agreement with Bell for the provision of high-speed internet to municipalities. Monthly EORN fees for a 10year contract are $475, which is a monthly savings of $420 per month for North Grenville. The municipality is able to switch from our current contract into this negotiated contract with no penalties, as we are a member of the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus. We just got notification today about moving forward and staff would like to move forward on

Crazy kids

have decided that kids are crazy. Last weekend, I went over to my friend’s house for dinner. They have two little boys under the age of three. I brought my brood of three, which means there were five kids (oldest being eight) and four adults. I noticed as soon as I walked into their house how neat and tidy it was. Poor unsuspecting house. My kids immediately dashed inside and began pulling toys off the shelves and out of the bins. They found some ride-on toys and took it upon themselves to race around in circles bashing into the walls. And a table supporting an expensive computer, which fell and nearly took out a couple kids with it. I should add that Charlotte, one of my twins, was a little angel throughout all this commotion and merely found a cart upon which to push her stuffed bunnies about the house. The boys, however, were shrieking and laughing and destroying all things within their reach. How predictable. Within minutes, the house wasn’t so neat and tidy. And the noise drove the adults into the slightly less ear shattering kitchen area. We decided to pop outside to start the barbecue and see if the kids noticed. Within seconds, there were two little hands twisting the doorknob to find mommy. Their little heads could just poke over the window and stare at us guiltily.

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

We brought them outside, where they proceeded to throw balls at each other for a while and play in the mud. When it was time to go back inside, after the barbecuing was complete, the race around the living room and dining room was back on. As we set the chairs around the table, all eight of them excluding the baby’s highchair, I began to laugh to myself. I turned to my friend, who I’ve known since I was 10-years-old and said “remember when we had no kids.” She smiled and laughed too. Getting together now is like combining two zoos and hoping no poop gets thrown. However, one of the kids (I won’t mention who) decided to strip naked and run around the house in his birthday suit yelling “don’t touch my weenie” to the other kids. We used to be cool (even though my oldest son doesn’t believe me) and now we are referees for little monsters who don’t even know the alphabet yet. I wouldn’t have it any other way. As crazy, and loud, and naked as it gets, life is perfect.

These swans are enjoying nice summer weather along the water’s edge.

Sittin’ on the hilltop, watching summer come over the horizon

t’s 8:30 on a Sunday morning and I’ve already been in the garden for an hour. I have waged a war against the grass encroachment on my veggies and so far, I appear to be winning the battle. I’m not sure where my veggies are, however. I see two green bean plants, four beets, two clumps of kale and the beginnings of half a dozen potato plants. Most of the tomato plants are still standing. Maybe the rest of my seeds were duds. Or the drought got them. I may have to replant. I think I’ll start with seedlings this time. Maybe the Farmers’ Market will have some. Speaking of the Farmers’ Market, I’m attempting to bring some things from my garden this year. In the past I have sold chickens and turkeys and this year I am primarily there to sell my book, but I do have a garden. Theoretically I will have produce to sell. I’m starting this morning with bunches of fresh cut pink peonies, yellow and purple iris. The scent is heady as it fills the airspace in my truck, Dora the Explorer. I hope to bring some

The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher

farm-fresh veggies to weekend markets over the summer, but I doubt I will get to bring many tomatoes. The Farmer has “staked” a claim to those (see what I did there?) for his winter spaghetti sauce. So far we have not managed to catch the raccoon that visits our porch each night. I imagine he is so large that rather than getting lured into and trapped in the cage, he sits beside it, lifts it up over his head and shakes the bait food out of it, enjoying a midnight snack before going on to help himself to the leftover barn cat food. I am hoping s/he is too fat, old and lazy to attack my turkey chicks. The chicks are doing quite well. They are tame and come to my brush their chests against my hand when I dangle my fingers in their pens.

A family of groundhogs lives under our falling-down playhouse in the backyard. The little miniature farmhouse has become an unstable art installation in the past few years, with its weather-beaten roof, moss-covered porch rails and hole-y floor. We really should take it down or shore it up, if that is possible, before our granddaughter is large enough to venture inside. The groundhogs are hoping we don’t make that decision any time soon. I can just imagine the infrastructure they have built beneath it. The mother groundhog is the size of a large cat and her half dozen fat little babies look very happy and healthy indeed. They are brave, too. They crept out from under the playhouse when the farmer was working on his tractor and approached him in a line. They were on their way to the rock pile at the fence, where they like to sun themselves in the warm afternoons, and he was in their path. They didn’t perceive him as a threat at all, and passed close by. I told him I don’t think the groundhogs do any harm and they have

been raising families on our property for years. So far, they get to stay. We don’t have any crops for them to ruin and they aren’t interested in my garden until the veggies come up. We’ll see what happens then. The cattle are enjoying springtime, taking their afternoon naps in the dark of the barn on hot days, out in the meadow on cool ones. The Farmer is concerned they may be testing his fences, as the Gallagher electric wire he has installed doesn’t seem to be keeping all of them in. We often see the calves on the wrong side of the fence, nibbling the sweet, fresh bushes along the fence line. I guess they are small enough to

limbo under the fence and maybe their hide is too thick for the charge. The mamas and bull are still on the inside, where they belong, so we are ok for the moment. When the scent of corn and apples hits the breeze, however, we may be in for some escape artists. Those tempting smells bring out the bad behaviour in all of them.

Dear Editor,

Refugees in North Grenville, RING, would like to thank the community of North Grenville and area for all the support and patience you have extended in our efforts to sponsor two Syrian refugee families. Through your generosity, RING has received donations and pledges totalling approximately $50,000. In addition, furniture, household items and clothing valued at another $15,000 have also been generously donated. The wide support from individual citizens and groups is inspiring! RING is very pleased to share the news that we now have a potential refugee family - a young Syrian family of four living outside of Beirut, Lebanon. It has been a long and frustrating process. Once the government reached the target of assisting 25,000 Syrian refugees, it cut back staffing to the Ministry of Citizen and Immigration in Canada and overseas. This created long delays and uncertainty regarding the government supported system. As a result, RING decided to follow the route to privately sponsor a refugee family. This is a more expensive route but, thanks to your generosity, we are confident that we have the resources to cover expenses. Through contacts in Ottawa and Beirut a family has been identified and we have agreed to sponsor them. The complex sponsorship application paperwork is currently being completed both here and in Lebanon. While we have good reason to be optimistic, at this point we can’t predict if and when the family will be given approval to travel to Canada. It is important to note that RING is still on the government sponsored Blended Visa Office Referral (BVOR) list so we are now working both channels towards sponsorship (government sponsored and private). This means that the potential for sponsoring a second family is still open. However, as lists of BVORs haven’t been forthcoming and there are now many groups hoping to sponsor families this way, we feel that privately sponsoring a refugee family is our best and most expedient route. RING will provide another update as soon as we have more definite news. Thank you again for all your support, Polly Beach, for Refugees in North Grenville

Former Dragons’ Den star shares personal story of overcoming adversity Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Even before Arlene Dickinson arrived at the Merrickville Community Centre, word spread down Main Street West that she was coming. Families rushed up to her for selfies. Vendors called her over to their stalls to taste their wares. A brewer rushed up to her and offered her a can of his beer which she politely accepted and bemusedly held in her hand as the man quickly gave his best, 15-second elevator pitch. And all this before she had even arrived at the community centre. It was easy to pick her out in the crowd, which was a little thinner than organizers of the Merrickville Celebrates Women festival would have hoped because of the cold, rainy weather on Saturday, June 11. Not only was she the bestdressed woman on the street, but, along with the signature silver streak at the front of her red hair, she was the only one with her own attendant, holding an umbrella over Dickinson’s head, a bit of a give-away that a VIP was on her way. Inside the centre, the predominantly female crowd waited patiently for the former star of CBC Television’s Dragons’ Den, who is also the CEO of Venture Communications. She is also a best-selling author and speaker. She started her remarks by commending the “amazing” statistics that 98 per cent of Merrickville’s businesses were run by women. “Never underestimate who you are influencing,” said Dickinson, adding that they, as women leaders in business, were “paving the way” for those who come next. “Leadership. It’s a topic we don’t talk enough about as women.” She learned about leadership – and sacrifice – early on. She was born in South Africa, but moved, with her mother and father and two sisters, to Canada, when she was very young. This was during the Apartheid era and “he (my father) wanted to raise us in a country that had better social circumstances.” Her mother, however, “did not want to move. She was a sixth generation South African.” In those days, South Africans were only allowed to leave the country with about 1,000 Rand (the nation’s currency), which today is worth $84.38 Canadian. They arrived in Montreal in February with

about $50 to their name. Not being familiar with Canada’s sheer size, they got into their second-hand car and made way to their new hometown – Edmonton. We were “living below the poverty line. We couldn’t afford to go to the grocery store,” she said. “I blame my weight issues on (the fact that) I can eat anything I want now,” she said with a laugh. The family never ate Campbell’s soup because “it was too expensive,” so the family grew its own food, and all of her clothes were second-hand from her two older sisters, or were from the Salvation Army store. Within three years, the family moved south to Calgary, roughly 300 km and nearly three hours in duration in a car that “was falling apart when we got it,” in Quebec. To boot, the car had no heater – bad news for a winter trek. The girls were all wearing pink sweaters knitted by their mother and, within the first half-hour, the kids started a fight. The halfway point between Alberta’s two largest cities is Red Deer, where they pulled into a Dairy Queen. To “bribe” them, all three girls were given strawberry milkshakes. Within 10 minutes, now jacked up on sugar, the girls began fighting again. Her father pulled over to the side of the road, and proceeded to dump the milkshakes on the heads of each girl. “If you thought mum was pissed before,” said Dickinson, trailing off. The drive, which had not begun well, did not end well. They pulled onto Macleod Trail, a major road in Calgary – where their car finally died. As luck would have it, there were several car dealerships along the road, and they were parked in front of one of them. Arlene’s father got out of the car and went into the dealership, hoping for some manner of trade-in deal. He returned with a salesman, who looked under the hood of the car and shook his head. The two men went back inside, and a minute later, her father returned. They would give them a new car – if they received the only thing of value that the family possessed: Mrs. Dickinson’s wedding ring. “It represented everything she had left behind,” she said of the blue white diamond, mined in South Africa, which her father, a diamond cutter by trade, had fashioned for her before she left Africa – and before he died.

“I knew something monumental was happening,” she said, as she saw her mother take off her ring and hand it to her father. “My mum was totally disenchanted with her life.” At the same time, “I started to understand the meaning of sacrifice. The emotional quotient was real.” Even with a new-to-them car in the driveway, her father would walk to work rather than spend 15 cents to take the bus. At the age of 15, her parents divorced. “I was the first child in my class to come from a divorced family,” she said. “I got bullied for it.” Her father, who later remarried, had always been a big believer in education, and decided that it was a good time to get his PhD in education. Living in the Varsity Acres district of Calgary, there were a lot of fights between her parents. While her sisters would get involved, “I always would go to the outside corner. I’d observe it. It wanted it to go away,” she said. But, for all of the personal agony it inflicted on her, “I learned how to listen.” And not just to listen, but “listening well…what people are trying to say.” Her father’s love of education was apparent to her one day when she saw fire trucks outside of her house, her sister crying on the lawn, firefighters cleaning up the scene – and her father talking to a Grade One class on the front lawn. She discovered that her sister had started an accidental fire in the kitchen, caused by cooking oil, which caused the destruction of the main floor. Once he knew that everyone was safe, her father walked across the road and borrowed the class of six-year-olds to show them “what happens if you cook and don’t pay attention.” When she was 19, she decided not to go to university – much to her father’s chagrin, who encouraged her to attend, which, 43 years ago, was unusual for a father to do. But her desire was “to be a mum,” and create “to create the family I didn’t have.” She married her best friend’s brother at age 19, and between then and when she turned 26, had four children, and two miscarriages. The couple built a home 40 minutes outside of Calgary: “I shingled, I tiled.” But though they had built a house together, it was difficult for them to build a home. “My husband was abusive,”

I was desperately unhappy. I was trying to make it work.” One day, her husband came home and said that he wanted to become a teacher. “Would you put me through school?” he asked. She agreed because “this is what a wife does…you do what you have to do.” The family lived very frugally, and she took the then unusual step of starting a home-

based business – collecting debts over the phone. Dickinson got some of her best laughs as she described her kitchen at the time, drawing nods of familiar recognition from many. As her children sat at the kitchen table, she would make her calls. The kitchen itself looked like this: “(An) avocado green fridge. Harvest gold stove. Yellow tile table and pleather chair

and a pink princess phone.” She admitted that, as a lot of the kitchen was second-hand, it was “mismatched,” but it worked. Leaning forward into the audience, she told the younger women in attendance that “phones used to be attached to walls!” and that she even paid 25 cents a month extra to have an extended cord.

Determination, commitment along with luck makes all the difference continued From page K10

“I learned about listening and persevering,” she said. “I learned about money.” She learned that there was a huge difference between genuine “delinquents,” people who had zero intention of ever paying their bills, and others who “wanted to pay their bills, who had every intention of paying their bills…who were in a bad place.” The bitter irony of the situation? As she was making those collection calls,” I was getting those calls.” She had her phone cut off, her heat cut off, and was threatened with having her car repossessed. In time, she got divorced, and there was a bitter custody battle for her children. She ended up with joint custody as she was unable to convince a judge that she was able to support herself and her children on her own. Her father took her in and she slept on his couch. After what felt like days of crying, her father sat at the edge of the couch and spoke to her. “The reason you are here is because of all the decisions you have made for yourself and others have made,” he said. “He gave me a hand up instead of a hand-out.” At the age of 31, her ex-sister-in-law set up a job interview for a sales position at a television station. The manager doing the hiring “was doing it as a favour to her,” she explained. Without a college education, and little work experience, she had to do what she could to show that her homemaking skills were applicable at the station. When asked if she knew how to budget, she said that she had been able to budget for a family of six on very little. When asked about managing expectations, she said that her four kids were always a challenge to expectations. By the end of the interview, she was “frustrated,” and he was “exasperated.” And then an odd thing happened. “I’m going to give you a job,” he said. “I don’t know why I’m going to do this and I’ll regret it and you’ll fail.” A year later, she was indeed fired, but moreso because she was earning too much commission, and the station did not want to pay her that much. A businessman she had met at the station urged her to come over to his new company – Ven-

She was to work for free, “so you can say you have a job, because I needed job.” Ten years later, she bought out her two male co-owners, but not without a difficult time of it in the early years. “We almost went out of business every other day,” said Dickinson. Surrounded by a room full of women, Dickinson said she had shared more openly than she otherwise may have, but “by sharing…you end up mentoring,” she said. “A mentor is the person sitting right next to you.” Different people come into your lives for different reasons – and the most unlikely of people too, like her former costar, the brash Kevin O’Leary, described in a recent Maclean’s cover story as “Our Very Own Donald Trump.” She received a call one day from Mike Armitage at CBC Television, who was blunt about his call: “This call could change your life.” He certainly had Dickinson’s attention. He offered her a chance to be a panellist on Dragons’ Den. “I said absolutely not,” she said. “I have no desire to be on TV.” Armitage persisted and told her to at least audition. She said she would talk to her children about it, as they had watched the show just the night before. “You’re gonna do it, right?” came the reply from her kids. “This is where the words you gave to us (kids) come back to you. They asked her, ‘What’s the worst thing that will happen?’” Her reply? “I’ll look like a fool.”

Their reply? “You look like that anyway.” So she went in but with different expectations than what Armitage had in mind. “My job is to help these other women (applying) get the job,” she said. Then O’Leary walked on set, and the dynamic changed completely. The first thing she noticed right away was that “he’s a lot shorter and a lot balder,” than he appears on television. A female entrepreneur was making her pitch to the dragons, and “I’m really engaged in (her),” she recalled. “I’m really getting into the whole idea of this.” At that point, “as only he can, Kevin says…something super mean to her.” At this point, it was game on between O’Leary and Dickinson. “You’re an ass,” she remembered telling O’Leary. “We fight.” He gave it right back to her, asking, “Did you ride in here on a broom?” She thought she had blown it, so she was surprised when Armitage phoned her again and said, “Hey, Arlene, we’d like you to do the show.” “I just fought with your star!” she replied. “We like that,” said Armitage. Her kids were supportive – in a way only kids can be with their parents. “Mum, what are you worried about? Who watches that show anyway?” After her stint on television, she started to become a household name, so much so that she eventually was asked by the Department of National Defence to visit Afghanistan as part of a “Team Canada” mission to visit the troops – alongside rock stars and hockey legends. She visited Canadian troops stationed in Kuwait, Ukraine, and elsewhere, but her trip to Kandahar, Afghanistan is what stays with her. “It’s the dirtiest, it’s the smelliest, most desolate place you can imagine,” she said. “My lungs were full of dust.” Add to this the constant turmoil on the base, which was, at the time, the busiest airport on earth, with flights taking off and leaving every three minutes. She was selected to go outside of the wire to visit five forward operating bases, so as there was another female that the women soldiers could commiserate with, and “besides, these guys could really use a mother figure,” which she took

as a backhanded compliment. She accompanied Gen. Walter Natynczyk, and she learned a lot about leadership in the speech she heard him give five times that day. “I’m your general. This is war, and I’m the leader,” she remembers him saying. “You think I know everything but I don’t. I’m here fighting this alongside you.” He promised his soldiers that “when I know something, you’ll know it.” Just as he demanded a lot of himself, he also expected it of his soldiers. He knew that some

of them were soon to leave for home, and that their thoughts may have already been turning towards what they are looking forward to back in Canada. “I need you focussed,” he said. By not being focussed on the job, “you’re putting all of the lives of all of the men and women at risk if you don’t focus.” She learned from this that “simply being in charge doesn’t mean I know everything.” She also learned that making people who work for you feel valued and important is part of being a good leader.

“We chose you because you are the best person for this job. We count on you,” she said. “What you do each and every day matters.” She admitted that, from the boss down to the janitor, “I want to know that I play a role.” Seeing Afghanistan made her appreciate her life in Canada all the more and she finished her remarks by encouraging women to help each other, to “raise each other up instead of pushing each other down…support each other. Women, when given the opportunity, can change the world.”

Gardener’s Corner

Success through Succession An item on the news last night caught my attention. Grocery stores are reporting a 25 percent reduction in the sales of fresh fruits and vegetables. They cite drought in the American southwest reducing yields and the omnipresent currency exchange rate. Not good news, especially for low income families or those with no garden at all. But we fortunate ones have options and we can share. If you are like Angie and I, you already have your vegetable garden planted. With the warm weather at the beginning of the month and recent rain everything has just taken off. The problem is that everything tends to ripen within a few weeks of each other in August. Typically, our kitchen counter is overflowing with produce awaiting freezing or preserving. The exception to the August onslaught is our Swiss chard and beet greens. We should have our first harvest in the next couple of weeks. The news item got me thinking about extending the season by successive plantings. Many vegetables can be seeded in late June and early July giving you fresh produce into the fall. Check your seed packages for days to maturity. Anything under 65 days has a good chance to beat the first frost. Did I just say “frost?” Here is a short list of things that will do well with a second planting: carrots, kale, spinach, lettuce, radishes, beets, arugula, beans, some early cabbage and Swiss chard. Just a note about the last item, Swiss chard. It has been

the workhorse in our garden for years. It grows quickly, pests don’t seem to bother it, harvesting only encourages new leaves and it will tolerate a mild frost. Now for the benefits of this amazing plant. A 100 gram serving will give you the following percentage of your daily mineral and vitamin requirements. Potassium 10%, magnesium 20% , iron 9%, vitamin C 50% and vitamin A 120% . We plant the most common Fordhook Giant variety but it also comes in a rainbow of colours. With successive plantings we have harvested from early July to November. Not bad for three dollars worth of seed. There’s a TV commercial for one of the plant producers. As a man and his young son are pulling a wagon down the street filled with produce, you hear the voice over tag line. “Dad didn’t give it away because he grew too much, he grew too much so he could give it away.” Imagine what it would mean to someone using the food bank to find some fresh local produce. A bunch of carrots, boxes of green and yellow beans, a big butternut squash, a head of cabbage and of course a big bundle of Swiss chard. You get the picture. I mean really, the freezer is only so big. The words progression, series, chain and cycle seem so appropriate because they define succession and it’s success.

Every cent donated to Ryan’s Well till Dec. 31 will go towards crucial programs Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

Make it count. The generosity of an anonymous donor has made it possible for every cent donated to the Ryan’s Well Foundation to go directly to crucial projects from now until the end of the year. “We announced last week that 100 per cent of all new, one time individual donations will go towards our programs,” said Ryan Hreljac, project coordinator for the foundation. “There is a donor, who prefers to remain anonymous, who will cover our administrative and fundraising costs,” said Sophie Pon, communications coordinator for the foundation. “We’ve always done our best to keep our costs as low as possible. Normally, 81 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to our programs. Now, it’s 100 per cent, which is great.” “The anonymous donor has seen a lot of the work we’ve done and understood the need,” said Hreljac. “We want to make sure we are doing the best we can to fundraise right now because we’ve never been able to do something like this before.” He explained people like to know where their money is going when they donate. “We get to take that to a greater

extent and make sure every cent we are given goes to greater work,” said Hreljac. The Ryan’s Well Foundation recently announced their new projects. As of last year, the foundation has built over 1,000 wells, 1,158 latrines and has brought clean water and sanitation to nearly one million people. “It will be interesting to see how much work we can get done thanks to this donation,” said Hreljac. He explained the donation left him dumbfounded and awestruck. “At the same time, it’s a challenge; we need to make the most of this opportunity,” said Hreljac. “It’s easier to say to a donor that we’re going to be doing all this amazing work and then on top of that say 100 per cent of what you donate goes to this amazing work.” “You don’t see this every day,” said Pon. “We’re excited about this opportunity. To donate to the Ryan’s Well Foundation, go to www.ryanswell. ca or call (613)-258-6832. Active projects The Ryan’s Well Foundation is currently working on a number of important projects. The foundation partnered with Rukingiri Women Integrated Development Foundation (RWIDF) in 2003 and the two organizations

will be focusing on providing water to 32 villages and schools located within the districts of Rukungiri and Mitooma-Bushenyi in Uganda this year. Divine Waters Uganda, one of Ryan’s Well’s oldest and most experienced partners, is aiming to construct 14 wells in 14 villages this year in Omoro Sub County, Alebtong District and Northern Uganda. The foundation will be constructing four wells in Eastern Burkina Faso for the students of Tibin Public School, Koupela Nursery School, Gateway School of Kiinga and Issiri-Yaoghin Public School this year, with the help of Ocades-Caritas. In the mountainous area of the east the west districts of Amansie, Ghana, there are five communities in desperate need of safe and potable water. Ryan’s Well, along with the foundation’s long-time partner Dawn on the New Age (DONA) has been working in this area for many years. The communities - Akajasu, Daban, Oseinkwanta, Sikafreho and Abosiebo - have been on a lengthy waiting list for years with the local government, requesting to have wells built within their communities. Ultimately, five wells will be built for each of the five communities.

TLC Ministries seeks to build home for teenage mothers in need in Dominican Republic Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@metroland.com

Hope is a gift without a price tag. The TLC Ministries, founded by Lynn Ford, organizer of Soupfest, is hoping to raise enough money to buy a piece of land in the Dominican Republic to build a home for teenage mothers in need. “Phase one is to buy the land,” said Ford. “Our goal is to raise $25,000. Phase two would be to build the home, which would cost between $40,000 and $50,000.” Ford and her husband Terry have been travelling to the Dominican Republic for the past 11 years. “Six years ago we met a young man and we had a connection with him,” said Ford. “We started sharing with him. He was selling jewelry. I felt like giving him something, so I came back and gave him a

He opened up to us and told us his whole story.” Carlito, the young man she met, used to be addicted to drugs and alcohol. Because of his addictions, his partner, Raquel, left him. In the midst of his turmoil, he discovered Jesus and he didn’t want to do drugs anymore. Raquel, during their separation, also discovered Jesus. “It took him two years to convince Raquel that he had

changed too,” said Ford. The Fords visited Carlito’s and Raquel’s house and their friendship grew from there. They converse constantly using the WhatsApp on their cellphones. Carlito explained to Ford that one of the biggest issues impacting the poor districts where they live, in Higuey, is teenage pregnancy. According to Ford, an alarming 90 per cent of girls aged 12 to 16 are getting pregnant in that region of the Dominican Republic.

“These girls need to be empowered and loved for themselves, not their bodies,” said Ford. “A lot of these girls live on the street because their families live in poverty and don’t want an extra mouth to feed. I truly believe this house is somewhere they will be able to come and feel safe.” The House of the Living Tree, as it will be called, will be run by Carlito and Raquel once it’s built. “We are hoping that once a year different groups will visit the house and teach these girls skills,” she said. “The community is involved and the church over there wants to provide food and clothes for the girls once the house I built.” The land Ford is hoping to buy is in a prime area, with other houses surrounding it to provide social support, and a big mango tree. “We’re hoping to have fruit trees for the house,” said Ford.

“We would like to have a couple of bedrooms, so the house wouldn’t just be a drop-in center. It would be a place someone in a bad relationship could get away to. There would be a big kitchen and an office to meet the girls in.” She said people always ask her why she focuses her ministry work overseas, rather than at home in Canada. “They don’t have social assistance and food banks and drop-in centers over there,” said Ford. “We need to do something. It touched my heart when Carlito told me about these girls. My first thought was how can we reach them? Show them this is not a life. Show them they are worthy.” She explained the TLC Ministries is about building relationships. “It’s never the same journey,” said Ford. “Is it easy? No, but it’s worth it when you see the results. This project is very

exciting, but I know I will need many, many hands.” To donate to the House of the Living Tree project, www.youcaring.com/ visit tlc-ministries-for-teenagemothers-in-need or contact Ford directly by emailing tlcministries2005@gmail.com or calling 613-989-3042. “The money is going to come,” said Ford. “I don’t know how yet, but I just know.” TLC Ministries past projects The TLC Ministries, based in Mountain, was founded in 2000 and is a registered not-forprofit charity. In 2006, the TLC Ministries built a church in Mexico. They also fully renovated another church in Mexico, which for a long time was based out of a dilapidated car port. The TLC Ministries brings supplies each year to isolated communities up north, such as the Cree First Nation of Waswanipi in Quebec.

Brooke Henderson captures first major of 2016 Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

If winning a Kia K900 on Thursday for a hole in one was any indication that Brooke Henderson would capture her first major LPGA title of the season wasn’t enough, how about sinking ginormous eagle putt – or the long-distance birdie shot for a final round score of 65. There was all this drama and more for the 18-year-old golfing sensation from Smiths Falls at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Sammamish, Wa. It seemed there were more folks tuned into the LPGA golf channel than there were to the Stanley Cup finals. It took a playoff hole against Lydia Ko, the world’s ranked No. 1 player – a hole that Henderson birdied with a little grin and a wave – to earn the championship and a US$525,000 pay cheque, bringing her winnings total to just over US$1,069,000. She is now ranked No. 2 in the world. With this victory, Henderson becomes the second

Brooke Henderson hoists the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship trophy in Sammamish, Wa. Sunday after a onehole playoff with the No. 1 world ranked golfer, Lydia Ko of New Zealand. Henderson birdied the extra-hole for the championship. youngest player to win a major championship in LPGA history trailing only Ko who won the 2015 Evian Championship at 18 years, 4 months, 20 days. Henderson is the second Canadian to win a major (Sandra Post won the LPGA Championship in 1968) and becomes the youngest winner of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship besting Yani Tseng (19/4/16). With this victory, Henderson wins her first

major championship title in her ninth major start overall and second KPMG Women’s PGA Championship start. She’s the first Canadian to win multiple events on the LPGA Tour since Lorie Kane (4 wins). “Well, it was an amazing day, for sure,” she said during the press conference that followed. “Starting out second hole they had the tees up a little bit, par 5 and I thought maybe I could go for it in 2. And I did,

I kind of took a chance. I knew I needed to hit that club really well to get it there. I started off with a birdie there. And got one more on the next par 5 and finished the front nine at 2-under. It was a pretty good score on that tough golf course. But I saw the leaderboard and I knew I needed to be better.” The momentum changer was her eagle putt. “When that putt went in on No. 11 for eagle that was kind of like the huge jump forward, huge momentum changer,” she said. “And then things just really went pretty well. A good save on 14 out of the bunker. And then good putts on 17 and 18 to kind of finish it. And then that playoff against Lydia Ko, the World No. 1, great competitor, she’s already won the last two majors on the LPGA Tour. And I knew I would have to do something special to beat her, and I was able to do that.” On being the youngest player ever to win this championship, Henderson took it all in stride. “Yeah, that’s amazing, as well, to think about all of the

incredible players that have come before me. And even I was reading some of the names on this trophy and it’s very, very cool. But I would have liked to be the youngest ever to win a major championship, but to be able to win this one is a good second best,” she said. Being the face of Canadian women’s golf is something she’s just getting used to. “Yeah, it will be a big story in Canada. The last couple of days the support from Canada has been really incredible,” Henderson said. “Walking down the fairway we were yelling my name. But last time they were just yelling Go Canada. And that was kind of a surreal feeling. I can’t really put words to it. But I’d like to say that I am the Canadian face to women’s golf. And I’d like to say I’m a good athlete for Canada.” When asked if she thought last year she’d be where she is today, Henderson said it has been her dream… and dreams do come true. “I mean of course I thought it was… it was a dream and I thought

it was possible. Did I know it was actually going to happen? No way. But I’m extremely grateful. Playing in this event, KPMG PGA Championship last year, I finished T-5. It gave me a lot of money, so it gave me a good chance to finish in the top 40 money list and give me my card. I didn’t need to do it that way, but it gave me a lot of confidence knowing I was going to be in the top 40. The tournament was a huge stepping stone for me. Coming into this week I had really good vibes and I loved Sahalee Country Club. And I was just really looking forward to the week, and it turned out to be a good one.” When she realized that she’d jumped up to the No. 2 spot of the world rankings, Henderson said it was “pretty cool news. To become world No. 1 you have to compete every week and have a lot of wins. “But there’s still a lot of tournaments left and hopefully I can get a win or two or just finish near the top and become a better player.”

Rideau Glen Ladies enjoy first month of their season Cecile Fortier

Every Tuesday in May, the ladies came out to play golf. For the first time in many years the Tuesdays were dry, and the ladies took advantage of this beautiful weather. More than 40 were out every week enjoying the game. OBITS The season began with sorrows. Our two Pats-Kealey and Hayes, have both lost their husbands. Owen Kealey was a member of Rideau Glen for many years. He could be seen playing with his buddy, John Ferguson and at times would accompany Pat at club events. He was best known as Doctor Kealey, but to us he was just Owen. You will be sincerely miss, Owen. Pat Hayes’ mate, Gerry Allan was also a very avid golfer. He and Pat traveled to many places playing golf. One in particular was at St. Andrews in Scotland. Gerry’s stamping grounds were at “Nation View” golf course. He would occasionally participate with Pat at the ladies, “Invite a Guest”. He has been on winning teams. To “our two Pats”, our sincere condolences. Time will heal but fond memories will linger on. SICK BAY Jean Potvin, captain of the ladies league has had a knee replacement operation. She is well on the road to recovery. Also Pat Hayes has had a skin melanoma operation and can be seen hobbling on the course. Speedy recovery to you both. TOURNAMENT The first tournament of the season rapidly came upon the ladies. The “de Havelin” was played on Thursday May 26. The number of participants was astronomical compared to past years. All greatly enjoyed the game played and

admired the prowess of their partner. Each player was paired with a lower and higher level of skills; hitting alternate shots. The winning team was Marg McCornock and Ann Martin. Second place were Diana Uloth and Liz Forbes. Congratulations ladies! But it must be mentioned that both Diana and Liz have overcome serious health problems in the past year, and to come-in 2nd place was a superhuman achievement by both ladies. It just shows that anything can be overcome by sheer willpower. Kudos Diana and Liz, and we hope you will keep on being well. GOLF/DINNER/MEETING The very last day of May saw the clubhouse filled to cracking with ladies eager to play and dine. What more could be expected but beautiful weather and enthusiastic players! Cathy Quast, chef from “Champions Nest” did serve a very tasteful lasagna. Mary, the president, held the meeting as soon as the plates were cleaned-out. The first birdie pin of the season went to Willie Brydges. The winners of the game played was a tie between Peggy McPhail and Marg McCornock. Mary also announced that on the 21st of June is Rideau Glen’s turn to hold it’s “Friendly”. It’s been held every second year. The theme for this year will be “black & white” for all decorations and ladies wear. The planning for the day will be done by the members of the executive. The golfing season has begun under a healthy and cheerful aura. The club is still managed by “Champions Nest” for the last year of their contract. Phil Green and his crew are doing marvelous work in keeping the course beautiful and very playable for the ladies, in spite of the heat and dryness. Let us enjoy and be thankful, especially that we can be out playing our favorite game. Cheers!

Teams from all over Eastern Ontario came to North Grenville to participate in one of the very few House League tournaments in Ontario for girls softball. Over 20 teams converged

on the diamonds to compete in the tournament. An estimated 400 people were brought to Kemptville for this fun event. The bleachers were full for every game. Divisions from Squirt, Pee Wee and Bantam Midget were represented. This covers ages 10-18 years of age in Softball. Weather conditions were perfect for the first two days of

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all of the many wonderful volunteers that helped to make the Slugfest such a success.

Carp woman creates event to promote Maritimes tourism culinary arts!” There is an explosion of growth on a few fronts. The Atlantic province has gone from two wineries in 2015 to 24 today. Avant-garde restaurants doing new and innovative things with seafood and more are popping up everywhere, including fishing villages. And musicians like Jenn Grant and Joel Plaskett are ushering in a new generation of performers.

Would-be vacationers in the national capital planning their summer getaway were recently given a Taste of Nova Scotia. Held at the stately Sir John A. Macdonald building on Wellington Street, the province’s marketing crew brought together chefs, sommeliers, musicians and more to celebrate all things East Coast. Kings-Hants MP Scott Brison welcomed the hundreds of invited guests into the hall where stations were serving up taste-sized portions of scallops, oysters, craft beers, and, of course, lobster. “A Taste of Nova Scotia brings together every kind of food and wine and culture of the province,” Brison said. “There is a lot of hospitality to offer. Our hospitality industry in Nova Scotia, in all the Maritimes really, has huge growth potential.” The event was co-created by Carp’s Debbie Trenholm, president of Savvy Company. She boasts of family connections to Nova Scotia and how easy it is promote its riches. “This event has never been done before, not to this magnitude,” Trenholm said. “Nova Scotia has so much to offer, from its hospitality to

A Taste of Nova Scotia, created by Carp’s Debbie Trenholm of Savvy Company, was held at the Sir John A. Macdonald building in Ottawa recently.

Station Theatre’s Things My Mother Taught Me is big hit with audiences Director Sheila Jasiak has done it again! Last year’s comedy (Nana’s Naughty Knickers) by playwright Katherine DiSavino became a second week sellout. And judging from audience reaction to her new play, Things My Mother Taught Me, the Station Theatre has another major hit for its patrons to enjoy. “Things” is a romanticcomedy that takes a wry look at generational relationships. Playwright DiSavino told our director that when she first sat down to write the play she knew she wanted it to be about two things: “my love for my then-boyfriend (now husband!) and the love I have for my family — my mother and father, and his mother and father. The characters in this play are inspired by these incredible (and sometimes crazy) people in my life.” First week audiences loved the characters, the quality of the directing and acting, and the good-natured humour throughout the story. “Lots of fun ... real belly laughs... a great night ... I’m coming again… everybody should see it.” These were just a few of the quick comments audience members gave us on leaving the theatre. Many also commented on how much they enjoyed the central theme of the play. “Any married person will appreciate the relationship issues that the

Gabe’s Mom and Michel Doyon is Gabe’s Dad. Particularly impressive was the clever byplay between the three men: one patron described them as having “a genius for timing and character interaction.” Kelly Gaston rounds out the cast in the role of Maxine, the building super who always seems to show up at awkward moments but never fails to get a huge laugh. The play runs from Thursday, June 16 to Saturday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m. and ends with a Matinee on Sunday, June 19 at 2 p.m. Tickets: Adults $20, students $10. Group rates (at $15) are available for some performances. The play, produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., was originally produced at the Rainbow Dinner Theater in Pennsylvania in the summer of 2012. Call 613-283-0300 for credit card purchases, or go to our website at www.smithsfalls theatre.com. Cash only ticket sales are at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. East in Smiths Falls and at the door onehalf hour before each performance. The 140-seat Station Theatre is located at 53 Victoria Ave, the site of the former CPR Railway Station.

Principals Gabe (Clifford Glas) and Olivia (Jennifer Jasiak) in a little sparing match as their parents look on. A scene from the Station Theatre’s current production of Katharine DiSavino’s romantic comedy, Things My Mother Taught Me. It runs from June 16 to 19. author captured so well.” “I could relate to it; it made me think of things you should have done.” “It was a great contrast between the older and younger generations and the way they see things.” The story opens with a situation many of us have experienced. Olivia and Gabe are moving into their first apartment together. They’ve just packed up all their belongings and driven hundreds of miles

to start a new life. Their moving day doesn’t go exactly as planned and things become more complicated when both sets of parents show up at the two bedroom apartment wanting to help. In the end, the meddling parents pass on some of their best life-lessons, but not without a bit of good-natured frustration for everyone concerned. The female lead, Olivia, played by Jennifer Jasiak, has been acting with the Station

Theatre for years, participating in productions such as Anne with an E, The Heiress, and each of the Christmas pantomimes, taking on ever bigger roles. Gabe, the boyfriend, is played by Clifford Glas, who used to be a part of the Mississippi Mudds, playing Young Scrooge in Humbug and The Prince in Cinderella. He has also performed in two ‘50s and ‘60s themed school musicals and took on a major role in last

year’s panto, Puss In Boots, for the Station Theatre. The two principals have mastered their characters, being by turns head over heels in love and edgy in the presence of their parents.

CARD OF THANKS

First off, we have to acknowledge that this has been a long time coming. Over the past months and weeks, we have been taking the time to mourn the loss of our husband and father, Mr. Kemptville, Harry Pratt. We were taking the time to remember the minutes of the day where he was nothing other than a husband and a father. We acknowledge that he was many things to many people and sharing him over the years has been our honour. Thank you for allowing us time to grieve; we also want to take a few moments to show our respect for everyone who has and still is grieving for him. Since word first got out about his illness, the outpouring of support was so great, that only someone with Harry’s energy would have been able to extend a personal thank you to all of these people. Instead, we offer this note of thanks. Whether it was the hand shake and quiet word, the card in the mail, the beautiful flower arrangements and gift baskets, the food, the donations to the Kemptville District Hospital and Ottawa Cancer Centre or the attendance at the celebration of life, all of these things spoke volumes to us. It is also important to us to acknowledge all those who visited with Harry in his last weeks, on the phone, at home and in the hospital. It helped him pass the time and keep his moral up, by doing what he did best – talk. All it took was a familiar voice in the hallway, and Harry was calling in visitors, by name. These visits meant so much to him, and, although his family and doctors may have wanted him to rest, he wanted to make sure he got to see everyone. This was truly Harry. He wasn’t just a husband; he wasn’t just a father; he was a friend to many and he would have been a friend to more if he had had the time. On top of everything, we would like to thank the “Magic Committee” for all their hard work turning the Kemptville District Hospital staff cafeteria into a winter wonderland for the most beautiful and memorable wedding we have ever experienced. Harry, in his most deserved and last declaration, said it was magical. He said it was a miracle, and he said it was wonderful. We, as a family, wholeheartedly agree. Thank you infinite times over to the “Magic Committee.” You made more than one wish come true that day. There is no replacing Harry Pratt but, we know his selflessness and generous spirit will live on in the many people he met. We saw that Harry spirit poor into the community with his passing, and it is still there. We love reading the stories and the memories, so please keep them coming. It is beautiful to hear how he impacted the lives of so many. As his children, we knew he loved no one more. As his wife, a better partner and best friend could never have been found. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. We will miss him, as we know you will too. But we can keep his memory alive in our actions: open that door with a jig and a song, give that hug, pay for that person’s coffee, deliver that item a child loved but might not have been able to afford, buy that lunch or, if you are really Harry ambitious, tow that vehicle to 100 fairs to sell raffle tickets. Life is too short to take it seriously, love and live it with a big heart and a song. The Pratt Ladies.

CARD OF THANKS

We wish to express our sincerest thanks to all the doctors, nurses, physio therapists, St. Elizabeth nurses, the smile program, Amanda Burrows and all our friends and family for the exceptional care and compassion provided over the past 10 years. Your presence in our lives, as a patient and a family has meant more than words can convey. Sincerely, Joyce Simpson Gloria Sharon Erin and Brad THANK YOU! The family of the late May Greene, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother wish to express their sincere appreciation to family, friends and neighbours for food, cards, flowers, memorial donations and expressions of sympathy. Special thanks to Dr. Buckley, Bev, 2nd floor nurses at Carleton Place Hospital for their care and kindness to both May and her family. Also thanks to Bob Macfarlane for the service and kind words making a difficult day, a celebration that honoured May. Thanks to Blair and Son staff for their respect and dignity at this difficult time. Thank you to Frances, Annibelle, Kim, Lesa, Carole for the help with the luncheon. Thanks to MaryLynn for all your help, greatly appreciated. Thank You All The Greene family!

It is with immense gratitude and appreciation that I send this sincere thank you to all those who have supported me in so many ways during the past few months. I am overwhelmed by the generosity and love that I have received and I want to send an enormous thank you to all. First, I wish to thank my dear friend Sandra Tysick for hosting the Scentsy Party on my behalf and for donating a portion of the proceeds, secondly to my BFF, Kim Berry and my friends and co-workers at The Child Development Center for organizing such a successful On Line Silent Auction. I can’t thank you all enough for what you have done. Last, but not least, I send my sincerest thanks to my Aunt, Karen Julian, for her dedication and hard work in organizing the “Celebrate Cheryl” Benefit Dance and Silent Auction as well as to all my family and friends who assisted in any way with this event. I am so grateful to all of you for the time and effort put into all of these events on my beahlf. I would also like to thank the individuals and businesses that donated items for the auctions and to all those who either donated and/or purchased items, as well those who generously made cash donations and brought food. I would also like to send a huge thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth for supplying the venue for this event and to the awesome D.J. services provided by Pat Labelle. I am so blessed to have so many amazing friends and family in my life and because of your continued support and encouragement I am able to continue this fight, and I will win! God bless you all and please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Cheryl Beattie Robbins

DEATH NOTICE

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Larry Connolly on June 5th at the age of 56 after a hard fought battle with ALS. Larry grew up in the town of Almonte, Ontario but adventured west to Hinton in his twenties to start a family with his wife Sandi. He was a daredevil, a handyman, a great cook and above all an amazing husband, father and friend. Larry is survived by his mother Mary Connolly (nee Paterson), his wife Sandi, his two daughters Sam and Ali, his siblings Randy, Rick, Lori, Cathy and Kimberly as well as numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. He was a caring man who was always ready to lend a helping hand and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Larry was preceded in death by his father Lloyd Connolly and his brother Barry Connolly. We ask that memorial donations be made to the ALS Society of Alberta, an association that offers every possible support to Albertans living with this painful disease. A celebration of life for Larry was held at 2pm on Sunday, June 12th, 2016 at the Almonte Civitan Hall.

RITA R. GORDON June 18, 2001 In loving memory of a dear Mother, Mother-inlaw, Nanny and Great Nan. Our Mother is always with us She’s the whisper of the leaves as we walk down the street She’s the smell of certain foods we remember, flowers we pick, the fragrances of life itself. She’s the cool hand on our brow when we are not feeling well. She’s the breath in the air on a cold winter’s day She is the sound of the rain that lulls us to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Our mother lives inside our laughter. She’s the place we came from, our first home, and she’s the map we follow with every step we take. She’s our first love, our first friend, but nothing on earth can separate us not time, not space, not even death. Love you Mom Ron and Ruth, Sherry and Terry, Paul and Janet, Rand and Janice, and families

Kenneth Edgar MacKenzie April 12, 1922 – June 15, 2015 Beautiful memories Are wonderful things They last till the longest day. They never wear out, They never get lost, And can never be given away. To some you may be forgotten, To others a part of the past, But to us who loved and lost you, Your memory will always last. ‘Til memory fades and life departs, You live forever in our hearts. Your Family: Evelyn, Clark and Bev, Doug and Annabelle, Don and Kim, special friend Judy, and their families

IN MEMORIAM

FAGAN - In loving memory of, Norma Fagan, who passed away one year ago June 13, 2015. According to the eternal plan, the body returns to earth, as it was. And the spirit goes to God who made it. Of all that is material, we say: “Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” But to the spirit we cry: “Now... thou are free!” Free from pain and sickness and sorrow. Free from all physical handicaps, Free to dream and sing and work and love. Free to greet old friends, and new And... Jesus Christ, And to adventure with them, forever. Therefore, we say: “Good-bye, good-bye, until tomorrow!” Lovingly remembered by husband, Ronnie, children & grandchildren. Also remembered by siblings: Frank & Betty Franklin; Charlie & April Franklin; Danny & Janice Franklin; Betty & John Willson. Predeceased by siblings, Josephine Urh and Donnie Franklin.

MOLYNEAUX, Karen – In memory of my best friend Karen Molyneaux, who passed away June 14, 2015. Remember when the days belonged to us And we made up the rules as we went along. Remember when the littlest thing could keep us giggling for hours. And the times we laughed and laughed for no reason at all. Remember when our whole lives were stretched out ahead of us and we gave little thought to anything beyond what we were doing the following week-end. I’ll keep those memories in my heart forever. We always said we were sisters. So rest in peace, my dear sister. ‘Til we meet again. Forever, Joanne

KNIGHT - In loving memory of my parents Gordon, who passed away June 29, 1996 and Lyllis, June 12, 2007 The moment that you died, My heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same. For those who still have their Mom/Dad Treat them with tender care. You will never know the emptiness As when you turn and they’re not there. Loved and missed everyday, daughter Heather

father, who passed away June 10, 1966. We had someone very special, that money could not buy. This very special person was our dad. Who had to say goodbye. As time goes on without him, And days turn into years. They hold a million memories, And a thousand silent tears. Dear is his memory, Sweet is his name. Close to our hearts he will always remain. Others are taken this we know, But he was ours and we loved him so. We hope to meet in heaven some day, Where no one says goodbye. Sadly missed, loved forever. Your daughters: Gladys Lee, Edith Manion Mae Sweeney & family

New Ontario Safety Standards for vehicles coming

On July 1 of this year a totally revised set of regulations will come into effect covering the inspections of light trucks and passenger vehicles applying for an Ontario Safety Standard Certificate. These examinations (commonly referred to as a DOT), are required when used vehicles change ownership but as with existing rules, the new standards that are coming into effect can also be applied to currently licensed vehicles on the road if an MTO enforcement or police services officer finds something amiss during a routine roadside check. The current regulations haven’t received a major update in decades while vehicle technology has advanced faster and faster at almost light-speed every year. It would surprise most motorists that current rules don’t recognize airbags, anti-lock brakes, or hybrid drive systems for example that have been around for years. First and foremost the most important thing for consumers to know about these inspections and the Safety Standards Certificates is that they are not a statement of warranty or attestation to the reliability of any vehicle. They are simply a recording of the condition of a set and specific number of components and systems on the vehicle at the moment of its inspection by a qualified and licensed technician. While the new rules encompass a very large number of areas not previously reported on, they don’t cover nearly everything that can go wrong with a vehicle. For shoppers purchasing a pre-owned vehicle from a reputable, licensed and OMVIC (Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council) registered retailer, these new regulations won’t mean much of a change. Good and customer-friendly stores have always gone above and beyond the bare minimum standards when it comes to reconditioning and preparing used vehicles. Some in the industry were concerned that the new requirements for inspection and recording a variety of measurements would add considerable time (and therefore cost) to these processes, but the Ontario Ministry of Transportation has stated that in preliminary trials they completed with average repair shops, it only took about 10 minutes longer. The new inspections will fail vehicles for a lot more than they used to for things such as weak shocks or struts, or an engine turbocharger with an oil leak. One item that’s sure to be a favourite with drivers who have been blinded by vehicles with modified headlamps is the

outlawing of the use of High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulbs in lamps that were never designed to take them. New rules on window tinting will also limit the darkness of the tint to a spec that states it must allow 70 per cent of the light to transmit in or out. Inspection shops will need to obtain a tint meter for this and this particular rule won’t apply to any vehicle built before Jan. 1, 2017. The regulations now carry very clear and easy to understand wording and definitions and if you are considering having an inspection done to an older vehicle, you might find them a worthwhile read.
