Municipality calls Hemson Report in County OP ‘fundamentally flawed’ Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

North Grenville council resolved to reluctantly accept the wording in the Leeds Grenville draft Official Plan.

(OP).

This acceptance came with the condition that the counties accept the Hemson Report as ‘fundamentally flawed.’

As well, that a resolution is made prior to the approval of the OP stating a new report will be prepared.

This move was made dur-

ing a closed session of North Grenville’s Committee of the Whole on June 8 after which the committee rose with report.

“We have concerns the policies based on the findings of this report are not reflective of the local context,” said Brian Carré, CAO. Municipal staff explained the counties’ OP is in its final draft stage.

Staff noted they have been trying to draft section 2.5.1.1 (an exception policy for Kemptville concerning the unique urban potential) of

the OP to satisfy the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the counties and North Grenville, regarding the shortcomings of the Hemson Report and the resulting growth and settlement strategy.

Staff explained they have not found a supportive partner with the MMAH and had tremendous difficulty in drafting the policy. The options for North Grenville were as follows; refuse to support the OP because of the ‘flawed’ Hemson Report or add wording to the OP that North Grenville and the counties agree to it, with the knowledge that the MMAH will change it.

Both of those options would end at the Ontario Municipal Board - a costly and timely procedure.

According to staff, the other option for North Grenville, which was resolved upon by council, would be to accept the MMAH wording of the OP, but get a commitment from the counties to redo the Hemson Report following the release of the 2016 census.

Forget minimum wage – what if we all could count on a basic income guarantee (BIG)?

The idea was given a trial run back in the 1970s in the town of Dauphin, Man., by the New Democratic Party government of the day – only to be scrapped, halfway through, by a Progressive Conservative government, which had swept to office in Winnipeg.

Now, the idea once appears to have come back into fashion, with the newlyelected NDP government in Alberta seriously mulling the idea and the re-elected Liberal government of Prince Edward Island giving it consideration.

Currently, according to the Basic Income Canada Network, four million Canadians live in poverty – one quart of which are children. They charge current income assistance programs simply trap recipients in poverty, and that one needs to be “destitute to be able to receive benefits,” said James Leake, one of three BIG supporters who spoke at the Probus Club of Perth’s monthly meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion hall on Wednesday, June 3.

The speakers were: • Leake, former president of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, former president of the Ontario Public Health Association, former executive director of dental services for the province of Manitoba, and a former dentistry professor at the University of Toronto.

He currently serves as the chair of the Sydenham Street United Church’s Social Justice and Outreach Committee.

• Professor Bill Cooper, who teaches organizational behaviour, theory and research at Queen’s University’s School of Business in Kingston.

• Toni Pickard, a retired law professor from Queen’s University in Kingston.

The situation that those in poverty find themselves is increasingly bleak – often because of decisions made far beyond where they live.

“Nowadays, more and more work will be done by robots or has been outsourced to low-wage jurisdictions,” said Leake. “If you are in precarious employment, you will be more likely to be trapped in it.”

He added that about 44 per cent of jobs in the Greater Toronto Area were “insecure,” and that increased mechanization was placing robots in jobs formerly done by humans. There is already talk about driverless cars, and robots have been trained to fill containers with the right amount of pills for prescriptions.

And very often, the very systems set up to help the poor are, themselves, generators of grief and strife – for both those on the receiving end, and those trying to dispense the generosity of the state.

“Welfare systems are expensive,” said Leake, with about $185 billion being spent to support welfare programs across the country, or, about 10 per cent of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product.

the ’70s data, and saw that there was a bit of a dip in labour force participation – but mostly from women of childbearing years who likely stayed at home to look after their children. The program

And those numbers are coming from the right-leaning Fraser Institute. The welfare system is also “administratively cumbersome,” said Leake, where “confusion, inconsistency… and a lack of transparency,” reign.

Caseworkers spend about 70 per cent of their day administering rules.

While he commended food banks for the good work they do in meeting a very real human need, he added, “Charity is not justice.”

The numbers for his own hometown of Kingston are somewhat jarring.

About 1,000 free meals, on average, are made every day in Kingston – and that’s outside of programs offered in schools.

That number swells to 6,000 if you include schools. About 850,000 Canadians are assisted by food banks, of which 36 per cent are children, as of December 2014. Within Kingston, about 7,000 individuals use the Partners in Mission

Food Bank.

Keeping people in poverty, even unintentionally, is actually detrimental to the economy, according to Leake.

“How will we keep the economy going? We need the circulation of money” in a capitalist system, he said. While currently “income supports systems don’t work,” what would? For their money, the trio suggested the BIG program.

“Would it work? It sounds almost like a crazy idea,” said Leake of the government topping up one’s income so as it does not fall below a certain level, like, say, the poverty level, through a series of tax credits and redistributed tax money.

“Everyone would receive a fixed sum each year,” said Cooper. The plan would also “make non-refundable tax credits refundable, in the form of income for those below a target level… it would be set at some level that would be politically acceptable.”

Fishing legend and Real Fishing Show host, Bob Izumi, will be the special guest at the Shootout Series Bass Fishing Tournament this Sunday, June 21 in Brockville’s Hardy Park.

Dr. Michael McPhee welcomes new dentist to the fold on Main Street, Smiths Falls and that is Dr. Mike Bond.

Bond, from Fall River, Nova Scotia, comes to Smiths Falls, “because I heard good things about this practice,” he said.

He said he was looking to work outside the city in an environment more like where he grew up.

A graduate of St. Mary’s University with a degree in science, Bond continued dental school at McGill University, then followed that with a dental residency in Connecticut.

“I started with a few days here mid May and went full time at the start of June,” Bond said about his start in Smiths Falls.

He is welcoming new patients.

“Patients can just call and ask our receptionists to see me,” he said. “We normally start new patients with an appointment with the hygienist to have their teeth cleaned and radiographs taken then an exam with the dentist.”

Bond has a wife and two children: a five-year-old daughter and a son who is three.

“My long term plans are to raise our kids and expand the treatments I am able to offer to my patients via continuing education courses.”

McPhee said he’s thrilled to have the new dentist on staff.

“We are thrilled to welcome

Dr. Michael Bond to the office and community,” McPhee said.

“Many of you have already met him and he’s been a great addition to our team!”

To book an appointment, call the office on Main Street, Smiths Falls, at 613-283-6870.

Gratitude and updates from Dr. MacPhee’s office…

We’ve had a busy year with babies since Dr. Hall’s retirement! Dr. Johns and her husband are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their second baby girl and will be starting her maternity leave this June. Erica and Rebecca have been filling in for our hygienists Lisa and Alannah who will be returning from their maternity leaves later this year. Lastly, my wife Alexis and I are also expecting our fourth later this year.

Although she will be missed, we are excited for Dr. Janelle Hamilton as she starts a new chapter in her career. Dr. Hamilton was accepted into a specialty program at the University of Minnesota where she will be specializing to become a Periodontist. She recently had the unique opportunity of practicing alongside her father, Dr. Michael Hamilton for the past 6 months at our office. After retiring from his role as Director of the Civic Hospital Dental Clinic, he decided to work

part time with us alongside his daughter and has been a welcomed addition to our team.

He will be staying with the office two days a week as he settles into semi-retirement.

Speaking of semi-retirement, Dr. Jim Doner is also back with the office for another summer.

A familiar face around town, Dr. Doner has been spending the summer months with the office working about two days per week for the past 5 years. When not in the office, he can usually be found looking for his next tennis or bridge match!

On a final note, we are thrilled to welcome Dr. Michael Bond to the office and community. Many of you have already met him and he’s been a great addition to our team!

Once again, thanks for your continued support.

We’re always welcoming new patients and continue to provide a full range of dental procedures with timely emergency services.

R0013320355_0618

It’s been a busy past year at the office!

I’d like to personally thank our patients and the town for their continued support.

Ontario native son Arthur Roy Brown (1893-1944), generally regarded as the man who downed German pilot Manfred von Richthofen, known as the “Red Baron,” was inducted as a member of Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame at ceremonies held on June 4 at the Toronto Pearson International Airport. Roy Brown was an accomplishment fighter pilot and recognized as a squadron leader, who established his own aviation company after the First World War. At the annual ceremonies, 375 aviation enthusiasts from across Canada gathered to celebrate outstanding accomplishments in Canadian aviation.

Also installed as a member of the hall was the late Colonel Owen Bartley “O.B.” Philp who founded Canada’s famous aerobatic team, the Snowbirds.

Jim McBride of Calgary, founder of Midwest Aviation and Turbowest Helicopters, was also installed as a member of the hall. Retired Colonel George Miller of Abbotsford BC, who served 35 years with the RCAF, was the fourth Member installed this year.

Its principals, Todd Reichert and Cameron Robertson, have received international acclaim for their development and successful flights of a human powered helicopter, and a human power orni-

studied accounting at the Willis School of Business in Ottawa from 1910-12.

An invitation from an uncle, William Brown and his wife, Blanche, took Roy to Edmonton, Alberta, where he enrolled in Victoria High School from 1913-15. There he became friends with Wilfrid “Wop” May; the names of the two young men would soon be inseparably linked.

Returning home, Roy applied for enlistment in the First World War with the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). He was told that if he could earn a flying certificate, his tuition fees would be refunded and he could enlist in the RNAS as a Probationary Flight Sub-Lieutenant. Roy enrolled at the Wright School of Aviation at Dayton, Ohio, qualifying for his Aero Club of America Certificate on Nov. 13, 1915 on his only solo flight, with only five hours and twenty minutes of flying time.

On Dec. 2 he sailed for England, where he began training at RNAS Station Chingford, twelve miles north of central London. While there he flew more advanced aircraft and on October 1915, Roy suffered minor injuries when his airplane crashed.

On April 6, 1916, the engine of his BE.2c aircraft at Chingford failed and he crashed again, breaking a vertebra.

After recovery and resuming training, on Sept. 6 he was given his RNAS Pilot

RCMP to be on Ontario waterways once again this summer

did also boast higher rates of high school completion, and lower rates of emergency room visits.

Around the world, Alaska and Brazil “have forms of it,” and former Conservative Senator Hugh Segal is in favour of the idea, as is Calgary’s Mayor, Naheed Nenshi, Alberta’s Finance Minister Joe Ceci, and Prince Edward Island’s newly-elected Liberal Premier Wade MacLauchlan. The federal Green Party has it as a plank in their platform, and the federal Liberals looked at it during their policy convention in Montreal in early 2014.

In the past, there have also been some surprising supporters of BIGlike initiatives like U.S. President Richard Nixon (1969 to 1974), and economist Milton Friedman.

“It’s being tried,” said Leake.

“It’s being pushed at different political levels. What’s the alternative? More welfare will make it worse, more costly.”

There would be changes to the ways in which social workers went about their work too, said Pickard.

needlessly killed or injured as a result of marine incidents. The MSETs and SRs will be on watch for unsafe boating practices and criminal activity on the waterways of Ontario. The teams will also be patrolling the Canada/US border ensuring the public and commerce are able to safely move about the waterways. The teams will be proactive while on patrol checking

various vessels for required documents and equipment.

There are different requirements for all types and sizes of watercraft.

Anyone who operates a power driven vessel must also have proof of competency. For more information, visit Transport Canada’s safe boating website.

“The RCMP’s primary mandate on Ontario waterways is to ensure

the security of the Canadian border,” stated Sergeant Ian McNeil, RCMP Marine Co-ordinator for Ontario.

“However, while on patrol, our members will also be on the lookout for unsafe boating practices such as operating a vessel under the influence.”

Submitted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Since they would not be devoting more than half of their day to applying and enforcing welfare rules, “their work would still be needed, and more in the direction that they thought it would be needed,” she said, getting people help, say, finding a job or getting addiction treatment.

Cooper however cautioned that, “one of the consequences (of the BIG program) could be there are likely to be fewer social workers in this country.”

“Austerity policies are already getting rid of a lot of jobs anyway,” said Pickard.

Job losses aside, the trio asserted that there would be financial savings in the program too. Though their numbers were, admittedly, “rough estimates,” said Leake, about $90 billion is spent on income support across the country – a targeted basis income though would only cost about $40 billion, saving about $50 billion.

“Much depends on what you think is basic,” said Cooper. “We can’t agree on what a basic income would be… it’s hard to give an exact number,” especially when

regional variations (like, say, the higher cost of living in places like Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal compared to other areas) is factored in.

One criticism of the program is that those it was most aimed at helping would only drink or smoke the money away. But Pickard pointed to a World Bank overview of 19 studies on “temptations,” like alcohol and cigarettes, and whether cash transfer programs like BIG made people blow their money on these vices.

“It (the cash transfer programs) neither increased nor decreased temptation purchases,” said Pickard. “If they have less stress in their lives, they may feel less reason to use alcohol, cigarettes, et cetera.”

Pickard said she hoped that the BIG would become a federal election issue this fall, and “this will never happen until Canadians demand it.” She stressed that “we are totally non-partisan. We are not telling people how to vote,” but, she hoped that, like medicare, the program will spread out. Medicare started in Saskatchewan and then spread out across the country to the

national institution we now know it as.

The people of Prince Edward 2015 CADILLAC ATS COUPE Island went to the polls on May 4, and returned the Liberals to office, but during the campaign, “all four parties… supported guaranteed incomes,” she said.

In Brazil, “poverty has been reduced by a substantial amount,” she added.

As for the charge that a BIG program would make people want to sit at home and just collect a Purchase From $ cheque from the government, +hst (MSRP $53,000) Pickard noted that that “doesn’t seem at all, anywhere, to be what 2015 CADILLAC XTS AWD SEDAN happens.”

before the enemy.

Certificate and the rank of Probationary Flight SubLieutenant and posted to Eastchurch Gunnery School.

In January 1917 Roy was posted to Royal Navy Station Dover and on March 9 was assigned to active service.

On March 10 Brown was appointed to Number 9 Naval Squadron in France at the aerodrome near the village of Saint-Pol-Sur-Mer, near Dunkirk, flying patrols along the Belgian coast.

After flying three missions in Nieuport aircraft he was given a Sopwith Pup, which he crashed when landing on March 16. He reinjured his back, as well as his left knee, and was sent to England for recovery. Returning to his station on May 10, he was given responsibility for maintenance of five aircraft and training of five pilots.

On June 13, Roy was transferred to RNAS 4 Squadron at Bray Dunes, also near Dunkirk. When pilots flew at high altitudes, oxygen was scarce, temperatures were sub-zero Fahrenheit, lubricants on aircraft components congealed, guns frequently jammed and engine failures were not uncommon. Flying almost daily at high altitudes plus the mental strain of the work, was taking its toll on Roy’s health.

Following two more months of flying in which Roy was formation flying, testing new aircraft, doing photographic reconnaissance, patrol and escort flights, he scored his first victory on July 17. He downed a superior German aircraft, an Albatross III, while leading a flight of Sopwith Pups and was promptly promoted to Acting Flight Lieutenant.

On Aug. 24 he was recommended for further promotion and sent on leave, returning to 9 Naval on Sept.

1. Two days later he scored his second victory, while flying a Sopwith Camel, an aircraft new to him. Assigned to command a flight, Roy shot down three more enemy aircraft in quick succession.

Confidential Reports stated, “Performed his duties as Flight Leader with great skill and dash – most efficient officer with men, good control of men.” On Sept. 6, Roy was recommended for the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC), awarded for the performance of meritorious or distinguished services

Skilled pilot

By October 13, 1917 Roy had scored his sixth victory.

From Nov. 10 until Jan. 29, 1918 he returned to Canada on home leave. Back at 9 Naval in France, he was promoted to Acting Flight Commander, now flying only the Sopwith Camel biplane single-seater fighter. Escalation of the war saw Brown flying at least two combat missions a day, as well as training new pilots.

On March 13 he was recommended for promotion to Squadron Leader and soon scored his seventh victory.

On April 1, 1918, the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service amalgamated to form the Royal Air Force (RAF). Roy Brown’s rank changed from Flight Commander with the RNAS to Captain in the RAF. His squadron was renamed as 209 Squadron. On April 9, his high school friend, Wop May, was posted to the squadron and joined Brown’s A Flight. On April 11 and 12, Brown scored two more victories, bringing his total to nine.

On the morning of April 21, 1918, Brown’s squadron engaged with Baron Manfred von Richthofen’s “Flying Circus” German squadron of Fokker Triplanes. During the melée Wop May’s guns jammed, so he left the fight, heading for Allied lines, with the “Red Baron” giving chase. Seeing that May was in trouble, Roy Brown dove on von Richthofen, firing a burst at the red triplane and saving Wop May’s life.

Von Richthofen’s airplane went down and Brown was recognized for downing the dreaded German fighter pilot, but never credited with the victory.

Four days later, Brown was grounded and hospitalized with severe food poisoning and extreme exhaustion, then sent to England to recover. Soon afterwards, he was recommended to receive the DSC for the second time.

Released from hospital on June 6, Brown reported for duty as an instructor with No. 2 School of Aerial Fighting and Gunnery in Yorkshire.

On July 15 just after takeoff, his engine failed, the aircraft stalled and crashed.

Seriously injured again, Roy spent eight months in hospital before being sent back to Canada on March 8, 1919 and was released from the RAF in April 1920 with the

rank of Captain.

On Feb. 19, he married Edythe Monypenny in Toronto, and by 1928 the couple had three children – Margaret, Barbara and Donald. Roy was employed with the Imperial Varnish and Color Company Limited of Toronto, partly owned by his father-in-law, but maintained his interest in aviation. In March 1928 Roy incorporated General Airways Limited, with himself as president. In June the company began operation from Amos, Québec with two aircraft servicing remote mining companies in Québec and Ontario. By 1935 the company was operating four bases in Québec and one in Ontario. Seven aircraft were in service carrying freight and passengers to remote points as far

as Flin Flon, Manitoba and providing scheduled service to Winnipeg.

With changing government policies, competition from other carriers and during the Depression, even though General Airways had enjoyed financial success, eventually it became unprofitable, and ceased operating in March 1940.

Roy’s next venture was to purchase a run-down farm near Stouffville, Ontario, turning it into a profitable business. Still with an interest in aviation, he accepted an appointment as associate editor for Canadian Aviation magazine, a short-lived position because of his deteriorating health. On March 9, 1944, at the age of only 50, Arthur Roy Brown died at home.

The need to replenish

s nine more community leaders and veterans were inducted into Smiths Falls’ Evergreen Avenue on June 6, the committee stressed the need for new blood to carry on the legacy.

The living memorial nestled within Victoria Park, along the banks of the Rideau Canal, is a beautiful tribute to those who made valuable sacrifices and helped build the town. Since 2000, the committee has worked tirelessly to improve upon the concept, but volunteers only have so much time. There is a need for others to come on board.

Although the concept of volunteerism is certainly one Lanark County communities have embraced, some of the traditional groups are having difficulty remaining vibrant as members get older and there isn’t an infusion of younger ones that can carry on that sense of giving back and performing selfless acts. It’s not necessarily a knock on the younger generation; it’s more of a reflection of the changing times and the challenges facing younger men and women as they deal with the increasingly complex task of balancing work and family.

Another local fundraiser gathering steam but still seeking volunteers is a unique project aimed at showing your Canadian pride. Spearheaded by the Salvation Army, residents in Perth, Smiths Falls, Almonte and Carleton Place can participate in a flag signing project, a concept developed by Carleton Place resident Gary Strike. He offered the fundraiser to the Salvation Army as a way to maintain essential services locally. Organizers are looking for just three hours of your time on June 26, 27, 29 and 30, to man a table at a local grocery store or retail chain and encourage shoppers to mark their signature on Canada flags. The final cap off to the fundraiser is expected to take place on Canada Day within Lower Reach Park.

Service clubs are also feeling the pinch within the area, which could affect how they operate in the years to come. The extent to which service clubs can continue to play an active role in supporting the youth of the community in the years to come will depend on how many young men and women are willing to provide that new blood that is so essential for those groups’ long-term survival.

ing a lot of time in the little apartment they lived in over the beauty parlour...we would be heading out in Uncle George’s launch before we had time to catch our breath, going over to their very own island.

We had to carry everything down to the harbour, where this enormous boat, which I was sure could hold half of Renfrew County, was tied up. It had to be big, because Aunt Edith would never leave her cat, or her chickens alone in town if she was staying somewhere overnight. And we would be bedded down in the Cosh cottage, which gave me a gnawing pain in the pit of my stomach.

Some of it was excitement, but most of it was plain fear.

The boat ride alone was reason enough to cause me to panic. By the time we loaded the six chick-

ens, unrestrained, Sandy the cat, and all the food and our box of clothes into the boat, it sunk into the St. Lawrence with not more than four inches of boat left out of the water. I was sure we wouldn’t be six feet out from shore before we all went down to the bottom of

the river, with our bodies washing up at some faraway place miles from Gananoque.

Mother and Aunt Edith, the chickens and the cat, climbed into Uncle George’s late model car and the rest of us had to walk, carrying what was left over to take to

the island.

Even though the boat was big, it groaned and tilted from side to side, as Uncle George stowed as much as he could under the very front of the boat, the cat See MARY page 9

was draped around Aunt Edith’s neck like a fur collar, and the chickens happily clucked away, picking away at ants, dead flies and a few insects in the bottom of the boat.

My sister Audrey who never liked to look different (Mother said it was her age) hissed she was glad we didn’t know anyone in Gananoque.

“We look like a pack of Gypsies.”

Uncle George sat in an ordinary kitchen chair at the front, turned a key, blue smoke poured out of the tail end of the boat, and we tore out of the dock like a bullet out of rifle!

I sat close to Mother with my hand gripping the few inches of the boat that were left above water and was grateful that at least it was a short trip across to the island that I was positive belonged to my rich aunt and uncle.

Emerson and Earl were scrunched down in the belly of the boat at the very centre, and a few leather cushions were stacked beside them, which were supposed to save

us on our way down to the bottom of the St. Lawrence.

“How much do you want to bet the chickens get first dubs on the cushions if we have to bail out?” Emerson hissed.

Finally, we pulled into what passed for a dock. “Don’t step on the boards at the end,” Uncle George said. We soon found out why. Audrey who didn’t know any better, hoisted our cardboard box of clothes onto the boards, and they heaved up at the other end, and if she hadn’t been so quick, our change of clothes would have gone down to the bottom of the river.

The chickens seemed to know what was expected of them and they headed for a little wire closed-in plot with Aunt Edith cooing to them as if they knew exactly what she was saying. She put river water in a bowl, grain in two pie plates, and a couple of apple cores she had in a brown paper bag, said a few kind words, unwrapped Sandy from around her neck, and announced we would be eating as soon as she could find the box that had all the food in it.

It didn’t take all day to discover the box of food was

DUNLOP

somewhere on the dock in Gananoque, and we would be eating whatever we could find in the cottage.

Emerson suggested we could perhaps do in a couple of the chickens.

I was grateful he said it in a whisper, because I knew Aunt Edith would rather do away with one of us kids than one of her chickens!

Even though it was a blistering hot day and everyone else got into

their bathing suits, I had no intention of going anywhere near the St. Lawrence. Because, as always, you could see the heads of a couple black water snakes just waiting for anyone crazy enough to go in for a dip. I would spend the entire weekend as far away from the water’s edge as I could get.

I vowed if we ever made it back to Gananoque again, with the

promise of “a lovely couple days at the cottage”, I would beg to be left on the farm back in Northcote.

It was time to head back to Gananoque and I helped Aunt Edith round up the chickens, and carry them, one by one down to the boat for our trip back to town.

At least the chickens seem to have enjoyed themselves and if chickens could feel gratitude, these seemed

to have shown it in proper fashion.

There on the grass, just inside the little enclosure, were two freshly laid eggs!

Brown’s Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame induction proud moment for family I have been on something of a roll lately writing about historical matters, especially military history and in particular Carleton Place native Captain Arthur “Roy” Brown and his recent induction into Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame (CAHF).

Based on the large number of positive emails I have received from readers about the series of columns I have been writing, I feel it would be remiss of me to ignore the events of Thursday, June 4 at Pearson Airport in Toronto.

First of all I want to congratulate the directors and management of the CAHF on the quality of the program they put together for this year’s induction ceremony, the 42nd such event. I feel very privileged to have been there for the ceremonies.

The entire presentation was first class. The inductions themselves were done in such a meaningful way and the organization involved, right down to an excellent meal and social gathering was highly professional. During my more than 40 years in the newspaper business I have attended countless dinners and awards ceremonies. I would place this venture in the top five.

I was one of five directors from the Roy Brown Society of Carleton Place who attended. Also present were society president Rob Probert, Jerry Flynn, who also happens to be the current deputymayor of Carleton Place along with Ross Beck and Russell Holmes. Ross, who was accompanied by his wife Patricia, is a retired Canadian Armed Forces pilot who was instrumental in the nomination of Roy Brown for inclusion in the hall.

The Carleton Place delegation also included Mayor Louis Antonakos, Jerry’s Patrick Lehman POSTER_Layout 1 12/05/2015 5:26 PM Page 1 wife Debbie McVie and Rob’s brother Major Don Harris (Ret) a Carleton Place

native who is assisting with aspects of the Brown commemoration and some important follow-up.

Undoubtedly the largest single group in attendance was the Brown family.

More than 20 descendants and extended family of the late, Carleton Place born First World War flying ace (the man who shot down famed German pilot Baron Manfred von Richthofen) were on hand.

The Brown family representatives included grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins several times removed.

It was a very special night for the Browns. The cheers and applause that erupted, when Roy Brown’s niece Carol Nicholson from Oakville (she is the daughter of the First World War pilot’s youngest brother Howard) stepped onto the rostrum to accept the official citation, was impressive to say the least.

Leading the cheers was Brown’s grand-daughter Dianne Sample who, along with her husband Jim, are American retirees who split their year between a home in the mountains of Colorado and a lakeside residence in rural Maine.

Snowbirds Also on hand was Dianne’s brother Donald Brodeur who, following in the footsteps of his famous grandfather, became an air force pilot. Donald was a member of Canada’s famed ‘Snowbirds’ the military jet demonstration team that has wowed audiences across this coun-

try and internationally for decades.

Donald was one of more than a dozen past and current Snowbirds in attendance at the awards ceremony and dinner. In fact one of the team’s CT-114 Tutor jets had been flown in especially for the ceremony from Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw (Saskatchewan), the home of the aerial demonstration team.

It was among four aircraft on display at the event.

The Snowbirds’ part in the proceedings was headlined by retired Canadian Forces Lieutenant-Colonel Maryse Carmichael, the guest speaker for the occasion.

Carmichael, a Quebec City native, enjoyed a 22-year career in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). Most impressively perhaps she became the first female to fly with 431 Air Demonstration Squadron (the official name for the Snowbirds) in the year 2000. She also has the distinction of being the first female in the history of the world to fly with a military jet demonstration team.

Her husband, Lieutenant-Colonel Scott Greenough (the couple has two daughters), is also an RCAF pilot.

Carmichael delivered an inspirational message, not based on gender, but rather on leadership which she says is rooted in respect, teamwork and trust.

She had a special message for Nadine Carter, the elementary school student from Ballantrae, Ontario (an area now called Whitchurch-Stouffville) who has worked so hard to gain recognition for Roy Brown in Stouffville where he bought a farm and lived the final years of his life.

Carmichael singled out Nadine, an 11-year-old Grade 6 student, praising her for her tireless efforts in bringing Brown’s Stouffville history (he died

He also produced outstanding videos on each of the four individuals and one group inducted by the hall. The video on Roy Brown will soon be made available to our society and will be used in our ongoing educational efforts.

Needless to say I had an interesting series of conversations with all the outstanding people at my table which simply added to my own education.

I wrote about the youngster’s successful efforts to have Brown properly recognized in a column which appeared in this newspaper on May 28.

Nadine was in attendance at the June 4 induction and dinner and I was fortunate enough to sit with her, along with her parents and an uncle. After meeting the adults in her life it isn’t hard to see where Nadine’s personality and inspiration come from. They are delightful people!

Also seated at my table was David Brown of Guelph, a second cousin of Carol Nicholson’s, whose late father Allan was a physician and a member of the Canadian Army Medical Corps during the Second World War. We were joined by John Chalmers of Edmonton, the historian for the Wetaskiwin, Alberta based CAHF and Dr. Richard Goette of Milton, national vice-president of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society and associate editorin-chief of Air Force Magazine, published by the Ottawa-based Air Force Association of Canada.

CROW Licensed Home Child Care celebrates licensed home child care providers profession and are committed to providing quality child care for families in Lanark County.

The providers receive regular visits from a CROW Home Visitor, a registered early childhood educator. The providers develop strong bonds with the parents and children in their care and have, in some cases, become a part of their extended families.

“I chose CROW to work for

before I moved to Smiths Falls from Ottawa, and I am happy to say they took me on soon after we moved in. I had worked for an agency ever since I decided to become a provider…The quality of care offered through both of these agencies are caring for both the children and the provider.

The support from the staff is always positive and we are offered workshops to keep us up to date.

I have been a provider for over 40 years. Love my job, it is by far the very best, rewarding career,” stated provider Barb Cregan.

CROW works together with parents and providers to ensure the best possible care for children. For more information on becoming a CROW provider or a Submitted photo parent seeking home based child Leading the workshop was Kathy Boelsma, Early Literary care in a regulated setting contact us at 613-283-0095 ext. 301, Specialist for Lanark County who shared techniques for srodger@crowlanark.com. puppets and simple musical instruments.

individuals inducted are James Stewart “Jim” McBride, George Edward Miller, O.M.M., CD and the late Owen Bartley “O.B.” Philp, C.M., DFC, CD. All three men served with distinction in the RCAF. McBride and Miller later moved into the private sector where they made significant contributions to Canadian aviation.

Philp, who passed away in 1995, was represented at the induction by his daughter Kim who did an excellent job outlining her father’s life. Philp, who served as base commander at CFB Moose Jaw, is known as the “Father of the Snowbirds” for the role he played in helping to launch the aerial demonstration team in 1971.

Also inducted was AeroVelo Inc., a team of students and graduates from the University of Toronto who scored two amazing firsts in the field of “human-powered flight.”

AeroVelo, who received the Belt of Orion Award of Excellence from CAHF, was represented by Todd Reichert and Cameron Robertson, leaders of the young group of engineers involved in the project.

The video of their human-

powered helicopters in action was absolutely incredible to watch. In 2013 their invention won a world-wide competition sponsored by the Sikorsky Helicopter Company which carried a prize of $250,000.

The induction ceremonies were held in the massive Skyservice Business Aviation Hanger at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. I’m sure it can easily house several heavy jets. The four smaller aircraft parked inside for the event took up only a fraction of the available space.

To reiterate, I was very impressed by the entire production. But I was especially proud to be on hand to see Carleton Place native Brown receive some long overdue national recognition.

My only disappointment is that the event flew totally under the radar of the national media.

They were too busy covering Mike Duffy I guess?

It was the Canadian Pacific Railway that first connected Canada from coast-to-coast.

But it was aviation that opened up the rest of the country and in particular our far north.

What is little known is that Roy Brown made a significant post-war contribution to avia-

tion in Canada by starting General Airways Limited in March 1928. He was the company president although he never flew again following a near fatal crash in England near the end of the First World War. By 1935 General Airways was operating seven aircraft carrying freight and passengers to remote places in Quebec (where it had four bases), Ontario and Manitoba and providing scheduled service to Winnipeg. In the face of strong competition the firm eventually became unprofitable and ceased operations in March 1940.

Brown then purchased a rundown farm near Stouffville turning it into a profitable enterprise. Sadly his health had deteriorated markedly and he died young. But his story and that of 14 fellow Great War airmen from Carleton Place lives on in the Roy Brown Museum and the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum. Longrange plans call for even more recognition in future and that may include a downtown statue of the man who shot down the Red Baron.

ENERGY $AVING$!

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energy-efficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair.

Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

The Village of Merrickville was full last Saturday when the community gathered to celebrate 50 years of preserving history at the Blockhouse Museum. Dignitaries, re-enactors and special guests took part in a day of education and jubilation on the banks of the Rideau Canal. A piper guided a troop of Brockville Rifles and civilian re-enactor militia around the blockhouse June 13 to start the 50th anniversary celebrations of the museum.

He doesn’t have any idea how he got here, how to get home or who he is.

Triple-threat comic performer Rachel Fischer at Classic Theatre yoga studios, as she finds the discipline – “focusing on connection, listening to your body, breathing” – are all important parts of the actor’s profession.

Tickets to Barefoot in the Park (which runs July 10 to Aug. 2, eight shows a week) are on sale at classictheatre.ca or by calling 1-877-283-1283.

The 2015 festival season is supported by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization.

The many faces of Rachel Fischer: Fischer, who stars in the Classic Theatre Festival Production of Barefoot in the Park (July 10 to Aug. 2), has starred in a variety of roles, including The Little Years, as Babe O’Day in Good News, as Cruella (Disney), and Yzma (Disney Cruise Lines).

American comedic writers in the theatre world, and Barefoot in the Park is a whimsical, fun, and very real play,” says Fischer, who has been boning up on her lines in NYC’s Central Park while visiting her beau. “I feel like I’m parallel to this play because my great love lives in New York, and to have known that world, it reminds me of us. He’s not a lawyer, like the character Paul in the play, he’s an actor, but he is so logical, and we always joke that if he wasn’t an actor he would be in law, while I am more like Corie.”

While she loves all aspects of performance, she says she is looking forward to Barefoot in the Park because “while there’s a place in my heart for it all, I also get excited to just speak words to a human being on stage without breaking into song.”

“There’s something very magical about those lights hitting you on stage and you know that no matter what, you are affecting people. People come to the theatre for many reasons, but whether there is something going on in their life good or bad, they sit there and watch and take something away. It’s not up to us to make them feel a certain way, but it is important that we make them feel, think, and relate, and enjoy themselves all at the same time.”

If the legendary comedic playwright Neil Simon was sitting down today to pen Barefoot in the Park (the 10th-longest running play in Broadway history), it’s quite possible he might have taken his inspiration from Rachel Fischer. She is the energetic Toronto/New York-based actor who will star as the free-spirited Corie Bratter in the Classic Theatre Festival production of this beloved marital comedy opening July 10 in Perth.

Fischer, whom television viewers might recognize as the dog groomer and first actor ever to be touched by the pain-killing Mr. Robax in a nationally televised commercial, has been performing since she could stand.

“I was quite the comedienne and was always putting on shows and getting all my friends to take on roles and costumes, and I always loved making up stories,” she recalls. “It was always a lot of fun to play, and now as an adult to be able to make a living playing on stage feels so much like home.”

She grew up with singing and dancing lessons, and at the age of 15 was attending high school during the day and the Winnipeg School of Performing Arts by night, literally working around the clock while also taking roles in the North Kildonan Community Players, a community theatre group run by her father for 17 years.

“I did drama in high school and was the girl who failed math and went from rehearsal to take a test in English class but was late, and the teacher said she could hear the tap shoes rushing down the hall as I tried to get there,” she recalls with a laugh.

After playing in her first professional gig at Manitoba’s Rainbow Stage as a chorus girl in Crazy For You, she subsequently entered the highlyregarded Sheridan College Music Theatre Performance Program, which graduates “triple-threat” performers who sing, dance, and act.

“It’s a whole other beast, because everyone comes from another school and feels like they’re on top of the world, and suddenly you’re thrown into this crazy world of reality and experts that teach you that it is not just singing and dancing, but that there’s a real determination and stamina that you need to have in this business,” Fischer says.

Fischer graduated early for a job at the Deerhust Resort (where Shania Twain got her professional start), and recalls sitting in the same dressing room where the country music star once put on her makeup.

Since then, Fischer has performed across Canada, in lead and featured roles in productions including The Little Years, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Magnus Theatre), Anne of Green Gables, The Wedding Singer (Canadian premiere at Stage West), Footloose (Stage West Calgary), Good News, Chicago, and Grease at Rainbow Stage (Canada’s longest-running professional outdoor theatre company).

While TV viewers know her for appearances in ads for everything from Staples to Mazda and her role in the W Network’s Smart Women’s Survival Guide, she also originated the role of Cheryl in the first professional Canadian company of the critically-acclaimed Evil Dead: The Musical (which won the Dora Audience Choice Award for Toronto’s favourite show.)

Fischer took to the waves with the original company of Disney’s Toy Story – The Musical, portraying the role of the evil Sid. Earning rave reviews for her role, she was featured in Portholes Cruise Magazine and is on the cast recording, alongside Wallace Shawn, Don Rickles, and John Ratzenburger, from the original Pixar film.

It was while on the Disney Cruise line that she first crossed paths with Chris Zonneville, her costar in Barefoot in the Park.

Pop/soul singer Patrick Lehman performs at Station Theatre June 27 The Smiths Falls Community on June 27 – the second in this year celebration of the theatre’s pop/soul ďŹ eld. He appeared in Theatre is excited about Patrick year’s Music Series and the sec- on-stage performances.

May on Canada AM performLehman’s upcoming concert ond pillar in this month’s ďŹ fth Lehman is a rising star in the ing the ďŹ rst single “Gamesâ€?. As a regional ďŹ nalist in the CBC’s recent Searchlight Music contest he was dubbed “Canada’s best kept soul secret.â€? He and his band appeared on our stage two years ago and gave the audience a wonderful evening of Soul/R&B music that left patrons on their feet and wanting more.

We’ve brought him back for a repeat performance – with new material.

On our stage on June 27, Lehman will be promoting his soonto-be-released album Butchy’s Son in honour of his father and grandfather. And there’s a local/ human interest side to the music

he will play for us. On that subject he had this to say recently: “I am releasing a new album Aug. 21 in stores and online. The album is titled Butchy’s Son. It was a way for me to honour my father who passed away suddenly before I recorded the album. My grandfather actually worked at the station many years ago and my father was born in Smiths Falls.

I wrote and recorded several songs on the album about my grandfather and father. It is a quite personal album, and also features some upbeat pop/soul songs with some folk inuences too.� Go to our website, listed below, for links to some of Lehman’s latest songs.

Tickets for the Patrick Lehman concert on June 27, which starts at 8 p.m., are $25; this includes a refreshment of your choice. And to keep the celebration going we are offering a wine cash bar before the concert and at intermission.

Tickets are available by phone (Via/Mastercard) and online at www.smithsfallstheatre.com.

Tickets will also be sold for cash only at the door (subject to availability, a half-hour before the performance). Call 613-2830300 to check.

The Station Theatre, we remind you, is located at 53 Victoria Avenue, Smiths Falls.

Thank you to our photographers for all the effort they have put in to making the video.

Also a big thank you again to Jayme from Purdy Paws for sponsoring LAWS to attend this event. LAWS continues to increase its level of cat care and looks forward to participating in this event.

Director of Education, William J. Gartland commented on the election results, “I am delighted to welcome Thomas Mooney as our next Catholic student trustee for 2015-16. In his work with the Student Senate, it is apparent that he is extremely dedicated and very eager to take on this new role.”

As Catholic student trustee, Mooney represents the more than 12,900 students across the board. He will lead the Student Senate, which is made up of representatives from all CDSBEO secondary schools. The senate discusses student issues, gathers student opinion, and helps to develop communications with all students across the CDSBEO. It also provides a means for student council leaders and senators to gain leadership skills.

In addition to serving on the board of trustees and the Catholic Student Senate, Mooney will have the opportunity to meet other student trustees, and trustees from across the province.

Melanie Dorion, intermediate office administrator at North Grenville District High School, was ‘honoured’ with an award for Service Excellence on June 1, during the Upper Canada District School Board Awards Night.

“It was a very nice surprise,” said Dorion. “Quite an honor.”

She received an email two weeks ago congratulating her on the nomination and win.

“It’s the first time I’ve received one of these awards,” said Dorion.

She was nominated by one of the Grade 7 student’s parents, Brenda Kendrick, who stated in the nomination, ‘this caring intermediate office assistant at North Grenville District High School is well loved at the school because she is a people person who is helpful, kind and truly cares about the students.

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

Melanie Dorion holds the Service Excellence award she received from the UCDSB on June 1.

She works particularly hard to be helpful to intermediate students who may be struggling with the transition to high school, making them feel welcomed and most importantly, that they belong.’

“You can be nominated by stu-

dents, staff, parents – really anyone in the community,” said Dorion.

She has worked at NGDHS for the past four years, after moving to Kemptville from Prescott, and she’s been with the UCDSB for five years, as an office administrator at local schools.

She explained the Service Excellence awards were introduced last year and this is only the second time the UCDSB has given them out.

“There were 60 people nominated this year and out of those, the top 10 received an award,” said Dorion.

She explained she treats the children at NGDHS the same way she would want her three children treated at school.

She said moving to Kemptville was a big transition for her family and the support they received from the community was overwhelming.

“When I started here, I was probably just as scared as some of the students, who were moving to a new, bigger school,” said Dorion. “I thought ‘what can I do to make the transition easier for them and help the students who are nervous?’”

She said NGDHS has great students and great parents.

“I wouldn’t change anything,” said Dorion.

She said she has the other ladies in the office at NGDHS to thank for their support and guidance.

“Thanks to all the staff at NGDHS, the students and the parents who have been so wonderful,” said Dorion.

She said receiving the award has been overwhelming.

“My kids were like, ‘mom, you’re on the radio and Facebook,’” said Dorion.

“It was definitely a very nice surprise.”

Rural Summit Workshop idea taken off dusty shelf Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Councillor Jim Bertram took an idea from the Community Strategic Plan approved by council in June 2013 ‘off the shelf’ at the council meeting on June 8. The idea is Rural Summit Workshops, which was resolved to be discussed in the 2016 budget deliberations. The workshops would allow additional engagement, concerning council decisions, with rural residents of North Grenville. It would be based upon an open forum of discussion between municipal staff, council members and residents.

“We are very busy right now, with the negotiations for the (Kemptville) College and we already have the means to achieve the same goal, by holding two meetings per year in each Oxford Mills, Burritts Rapids, Bishops Mills and South Gower,” said Councilor Tim Sutton. “I feel the strategy we have in place now is more effective than

one workshop per year. Perhaps we could send out invitations for the rural meetings we hold to local groups and individuals who wish to be included.”

“It was in the interest of the previous and current council to be inclusive,” said Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin, “but we already have the vehicle in place. I like the suggestion (from Sutton) to send out invites.”

“I would like to move forward with this,” said Bertram. “When this originally came up, during a Community Strategic Plan meeting, there were a large number of people who expressed an interest in having a better voice when it comes to decisions made by council. While I appreciate Councilor Sutton’s and Deputy Mayor Tobin’s comments, the people who brought this forward did so for a reason. From my understanding, this was not intended to be one summit annually, but rather many and it wouldn’t replace the current

procedure. This is already in place, as part of the strategic plan and I am taking it off the shelf.”

Bertram explained holding meetings in rural locations occasionally is something, but not enough to engage rural stakeholders within the community.

“This will give people a better chance to get motivated and make proposals they deem important,” said Bertram. “I don’t think you can have too much consultation.”

Bertram said council should use all means at their disposal to enhance communication.

“This would be a place for people to go, sit down, put their heads together and come up with ideas,” said Bertram.

“This is time and money for the municipality,” said Tobin. “Not willy-nilly gatherings.”

Brian Carré, CAO, explained it would be difficult to put a dollar figure on the cost of the workshops, but stated staff time would certainly be required.

“Not only for the workshop itself, but afterwards, to compile information,” said Carré.

“I would just like to emphasize we have the means and tools in place now to improve rural communications,” said Sutton. “We can start next week, by identifying interested groups and sending invites for rural meetings. I don’t think we should go ahead with a full summit next year.”

Bertram explained the municipality invests money in numerous ventures. “I would suggest this is not a bad place to invest,” said Bertram. “There are lots of people with ideas.”

Mayor David Gordon said the majority of the North Grenville population is deemed rural.

“Maybe we should be reaching out in multi-faceted ways,” said Gordon.

Sutton and Tobin voted against the resolution, but the other three members of council voted in favor.

The resolution was carried.

Urbandale Arts Centre unveiled at the NGMC on June 10 Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The theatre at the North Grenville Municipal Centre was alive with festivity on June 10, at the unveiling of the Urbandale Arts Centre.

The event hosted in honour of the naming rights agreement between the municipality and Urbandale featured balloons, a red carpet, refreshments and entertainment by the Kemptville Players. They performed a play titled ‘At the Border,’ by Bob Wilkins.

The five-year agreement, at a cost of $7,500 annually, will bring $37,500 of additional revenue to the municipality over the course of five years.

Urbandale Arts Centre signage – the production of which was paid for by the company and installation covered by the municipality – will be featured above the door to the theatre, above the stage inside the theatre and on the outside of the Municipal Centre (facing County Road 44).

The signage is still in the production phase and has yet to be

installed, but the event featured pictures of what the signage will look like once in place.

“It is my pleasure, on behalf of municipal staff and council, to announce the renaming of the municipal theatre to the Urbandale Arts Centre,” said Mark Guy, Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture. “This agreement has many benefits for the municipality, including financial and improved marketing.”

He explained the naming rights program for the municipal centre has been ‘moderately successful’ since it began in 2005, the year the centre was completed. He said there are three areas of the municipal centre – the two ice pads and the theatre – that are considered prominent places for naming rights.

“I would like to thank Melissa (Boudreau – Urbandale Marketing Communications Manager), who has been instrumental in making this all come together,” said Guy, “and all the wonderful municipal staff who have worked so hard to make this a success.

I would also like to thank the

facility staff here at the municipal centre, who take care of this building and have kept the building looking as good today as it did 10 years ago. They are the ones who do a lot of good work behind the scenes.”

Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin thanked everyone in attendance on behalf of council.

“We are certainly happy to welcome Urbandale to be a part of this centre,” said Tobin. “This agreement speaks to the valuable asset we have here in North Grenville and the support Urbandale has shown to the community.

NGCF launches comedy festival The newly revitalized North Grenville Community Fund will be launching an annual Comedy Festival on October 23. The event will raise funds for local community funds. Each fund will raise money that will (after reaching $5,000) be able to generate an annual grant to be dispersed to fund the local need that they see as most important.

This event will fund local recreation, arts, youth organizations, the environment, North Grenville charities and local caring and sharing initiatives. Ways to support the endeavor are; sponsoring the Comedy Festival, donating auction items or door prizes for the event, donating your time or service to be in an auction item (like a summer convertible and ice cream ride) or your famous brownies

and donating hors d’oeuvres, desserts, water or pop for the event. Robin Heald, one of the advisors for the Community Fund explained, “This event will give small organizations a chance to grow their endowment funds and help to focus money on projects and community priorities to create a smart and caring community. It will allow community builders big or small to make a difference in North Grenville.”

The next caring and sharing initiative the North Grenville Community Fund Advisory Group is tackling is a downtown core defibrillator that will have public access 24 hours a day for shoppers and residents to access in case of an emergency. Local businesses will be partners in the project with a goal to install a defibrillator in 2015.

“It was money we had to use for specific things in the music industry,” said Hunt. “We spent it on equipment and recording.”

After Wijsman married and moved to Toronto, Fire and Neon decided to take a hiatus.

Hunt took the Music Industry Arts program at Algonquin College and has been working as a freelance audiovisual technician for the past two years, but continued to play with various bands.

Upcoming golf tournament supports KYC Golfers who are daydreaming about polishing off their clubs and heading for the greens are invited to join The Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC) for a fun nine hole tournament on Saturday, June 27.

There will be a Shotgun Start at 10:30 a.m. at Manderley on the Green Golf Course, nine holes and a BBQ lunch with awards at 1 p.m.

For the serious golfers, there will be a $400 winning team prize sponsored by The Kemptville Rotary. A hole-in-one sponsored by Myers will add to the excitement with a Chevy Trax offered by Myers as the prize.

This year, KYC youth will also entertain golfers with an Oven Mitt Driving Contest, Biggest Kid Contest and KYC trivia. After

golfing, awards and prizes will be handed out to individual players and teams at a BBQ lunch.

Daren Givoque, Investors Group title sponsor for the third year in a row stated, “Living in Kemptville with my wife and two young sons, I can see the value that the Kemptville Youth Centre brings to the community.”

Cost for the event including a cart and lunch is $65 per golfer or $260 with prices going up to $75 per golfer after June 19.

“Having this event to raise money for our annual hydro and water bills makes a difference at our youth centre. Everyone has been hit hard with rising hydro costs and we’re no exception.” explained Robin Heald. “It means a lot to us to have an annual event that pays

for some of our annual expenses and Daren Givoque comes through for us every year to raise enough to pay these bills. With Investors Group and KYC, golfing for kids has never been so fun.”

About the KYC The total building operating budget at The Kemptville Youth Centre is almost $30,000 per year. With rising expenses such as hydro, it takes more money each year to provide a youth centre for North Grenville youth. If you would like to hold an event to sponsor an expense at KYC, give Robin Heald a call at 613-258-5212 and make an opportunity to give back to your community.

Hate crime a fine line

F

acebook is a funny thing.

People can put whatever they like on there – pictures of their lunch, jokes, naked people, opinions – whatever floats their boat.

Then it’s out there – forever – floating around in cyber space, being shared and re-posted or tweeted (still no clue what that means). Recently, I’ve seen a lot of negative comments about same-sex relationships being posted and shared on Facebook. It’s rather disturbing to read, as an educated human being.

The most prevalent one in my mind is a testimonial posted by a reverend in the United States. Basically, the testimonial was a woman admitting she had lived a sinful lifestyle (homosexuality) for over a decade before finally being saved by Jesus and going straight (heterosexual).

I would just like to say, for the record, I consider myself a religious person who doesn’t believe in organized religion – as I would be a sinner half a dozen times over.

But I do have faith.

So this is in no way a criticism of religion. The testimonial scared me in a number of ways; the first being this woman actually thought she required saving and the second that she was now living a life she had to actually convince herself was right.

I feel nothing but sadness for her.

But the scariest part of that testimonial was it had nearly 60,000 likes and hundreds of comments, posted by other people who had seen the ‘error of their ways’ and stopped being homosexual ‘by the grace of God.’I am sick and tired of reading

T

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

posts from people who feel homosexuality is ‘wrong’ or ‘sinful’ or ‘disgusting.’ The only disgusting thing is that people actually agree with you. I reported the post to Facebook and removed it from my timeline. Facebook reviewed the post and decided it didn’t pose any threat or commit a hate crime.

I disagree. It is very hateful to say the way other people choose to live their lives, which is no way hurts anyone, is a sin. It’s discrimination. You can feel however you like about same-sex relationships – that’s called freedom – but when you put pen to paper (or type into a tiny box on a computer) and state other people’s way of life (unless it’s criminal) is wrong and shouldn’t be accepted by society, then that’s called a hate crime. Every single thing you put on the internet you can be held accountable for – just ask Shawn Simoes.

I am no longer going to be passive when encountering statements and media reports such as the one mentioned. I plan on reporting every single one and taking down as many discriminatory posts as I can. I hope readers do the same. Together, we can stop the virus of internet hate crimes. Regardless of how you feel about same-sex relationships, as a human being, you know what’s right.

SUMMER IS HERE Summer hits its stride with great weather and lots of plant growth.

Welcome to the season of chicken pecks

he Farmer has been away on a business trip this week so I’m in charge of the chickens. I don’t like chickens.

You reach down into their fluffy puddle of bodies to extract the feeding trough that they are standing in, and they peck your hands.

They scream excitedly when I step into the pen and rush over to peck at my ankles. I forgot socks and couldn’t pull rubber boots on over my bare feet so I just had my rubber sandals on. Ankles were exposed and they got sufficiently pecked.

No, it doesn’t hurt when they peck me. It’s just rather uncomfortable. The Farmer thinks I’m a wimp but really.

Standing in a chicken-poop dampened pile of hay, getting swarmed by mosquitoes and pecked by tiny yellow birds is not my idea of fun.

Not to mention what it does to my hair. I give up trying to smooth out my frizzy hair. I will spend the rest of the summer with an unholy halo of fuzz for a hairstyle.

Now the turkeys, on the other hand, are so docile and polite it’s actually

The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher

quite pleasant to tend to them.

I swear one of them cooed a thank you when I spread fresh straw over their soggy pen floor.

Before I could even get the straw off the end of my pitchfork they were on it, settling in and preening their feathers.

They need the dry straw to keep their downy feathers nice and dry. Otherwise they look like they have been dumped in a water bucket and hung upside down to dry.

I watched as they fussed and claimed nests in the new pile of straw. “Oh, this is nice. Come feel this, Clara. Don’t shove. This is my spot. Oh it feels nice.

Just wiggle on down into that straw and see how good it feels on your feathers.

There. Isn’t this lovely?”

They cooed and softly chuckled to each other in a little feathery chorus.

I like to do nice things for the turkeys.

They’re so appreciative. Even when I’m filling their feeders, they just come and stand beside me and make soft, polite comments. Croo. Brrrrr. Gobble.

The chickens are equally thrilled when they get new bedding but until they get a bit bigger and their heat lamps are removed I have to be really careful about that. Don’t want to hit the heat lamp with a piece of straw or it’ll be a hot time in the old barn tonight.

I can say one nice thing about the chickens, though. I suspect they might be slightly more intelligent than the turkeys.

When the automatic water troughs failed last year one chicken, either selfappointed or elected we don’t know, went out as a sentry into the dark night.

From the back porch where we were socializing and digesting our Sunday dinner, we could hear one clear, frantic chirp-song louder than the others.

Amanda happened to be out in the barnyard investigating, and followed the sound to the chicken, who then led her

to the dry water troughs.

I have been spending a bit of time watching How to Hypnotize your Chicken on YouTube.

The problem is I don’t think it works with meat birds, who tend to be more aggressive than laying hens or show birds. Maybe I will try it on my turkeys when they are a bit bigger.

They are, after all, the more trusting and gullible of the birds.

I can see it now. Market Day arrives, the Farmer goes to the barn to wrestle all the flapping, kicking and thrashing 30-lb turkeys into cages and finds them neatly lined up on the straw, sound asleep. The

gentle way to go.

Maybe I will start a trend. Like freezing your fresh lobsters before you boil them. Hypnotize your poultry before they go to the processing plant.

Happy animals are delicious animals.

I usually tell them they are going on vacation, in soothing, comforting tones, and pet their feathers through the cages until they calm down. Hypnosis might be even better.

Not sure what the people at the processing plant are going to think, though. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

Erin Devereaux and Cathy Coville, two nurses at the Kemptville District Hospital, started a Relay for Life team, which they named ‘Team Kelly’ in honour of Kelly McGregor, Erin’s cousin and Cathy’s best friend, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in March. When they began fundraising for cancer research within the KDH, two co-workers – Harold Westendorp and Anita Baker – agreed to shave their heads if ‘Team Kelly’ could raise $1,500.

The team surpassed their goal, raising a total of $2,031 and their co-workers said goodbye to their hair on June 9. Their heads were shaved by Lynda Parke-Carruthers (left) and Christine O’Reilly (right) in the courtyard at the KDH.

Bells ring out in honour of 90th anniversary of United Church in Canada The United Church of Canada, which held its inaugural service at the Mutual Street Arena in Toronto at 10:30 a.m. on June 10, 1925, celebrated its 90th anniversary by ringing church bells in unison across Canada on June 10. St. John’s United Church in Kemptville rang the bells 25 times in celebration of the anniversary. The bell ringers (from left to right) were Don Gilchrist, Flo Burnett and Doug Hughes. Gilchrist, a member of the St. John’s congregation for 50 years, said his grandfather attended the inaugural service in 1925. Roughly 3,000 United Churches across Canada were asked to join in the chorus on June 10 by ringing the bells.

Tomorrow I will be talking to a group of kids at an elementary school in Toledo, Ontario. They are grades 4 to 6. Ten to twelve years old. The perfect time to get kids excited about gardening. The topic is native plants and what you can do to encourage birds, bees and butterflies in the garden.

They have an area called the “Peace Garden” that needs some help. I’m on it.

How great is this to have kids wanting to plant a “Peace Garden”? How great is this to have kids wanting to plant any kind of a garden? I will tell them all about native plants and diversity and the benefits of providing shelter, food, water and host plants for sustaining birds, bees and butterflies.

But it’s not going to be a lecture. I will have pictures of our ducks and chickens, pictures of our garden and native plants and, thanks to the Ferguson Forest Nursery, 30 gorgeous white spruce seedlings and each child will also leave with a package of wildflower seeds to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. They will also take home a poster of the butterflies of eastern Ontario.

I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to engaging the young. I have my talk all printed out on recipe cards in large print ( they are young, I am not ). I’ve left lots of time for a question and answer period.

That will be so much fun. You never know

what kids will ask.

When I was putting the presentation together, I was amazed at how many pictures I’ve taken over the years that pertain. Years ago Angie and I decided to let our meadow revert. For the first year or two the neighbours just thought I was too lazy to mow the grass.

We did mow paths through the meadow so the kids could run around and make forts.

And then the magic happened. Tall grasses turned into shrubs. Shrubs turned into saplings. Saplings turned into trees. All natural, nothing planted. The meadow is now a habitat for all manner of wildlife. We noticed a dramatic increase in the number of bird species. We gave them a home.

Somewhere to raise their young, shelter, water and a food source. In return they give us pest control and endless hours of pleasure.

Every now and then you stumble upon something that makes a huge difference. Our meadow has made that difference. If I can relay that message to a group of young kids tomorrow and convince them of the need for diversity and sustainability, it will be time well spent.

The kids are called the “Green Team”.

A tribute to the teachers for encouraging growth. I’ll write about my time in Toledo.

HeyDay drew a large crowd on June 12. The North Grenville Curling Club was packed by 7 p.m.

Another successful year for annual HeyDay saleSUNDAY, MAY 27TH 200 Sanders Street

The heavy Friday rain could not stop the crowds from lining up at the North Grenville Curling Club arena, anxious to take advantage of the large selection of treasures, furniture, clothing etc.

This 55th annual yard sale organized by the Kemptville District Hospital Auxiliary has once again raised significant funds, which will be used to purchase medical equipment for the hospital.

Shoppers came from around the region to snap up bargains in clothing, books, linens, china, jewelry, craft supplies, electrical appliances, furniture and sporting goods.

At 1 p.m. on Saturday, winners of all the draws and raffles were announced. The big winner was Lorraine Ferguson, who won $2,700 on the 50-50 draw.

Dozens of much needed volunteers participated in the setup and operation of HeyDay, together contributing a remarkable 2,400-plus hours to the event.

In addition to a huge thank you to the volunteers, donors and shoppers, the KDH Auxiliary would like to thank the many businesses and groups that contributed to Hey Day’s success this year. Several deserve special mention. Canteen supplies were donated by Albert’s Meat Shop, Beking Poultry Farm, Giant Tiger, Laughlin’s General Store (Hallville) and Lanthier Bakery. B&H Foodliner contributed food items for the canteen and Betsy Boxes, as well as lending grocery carts, which were of great help in transporting goods during the sorting and set-up process.

The North Grenville Curling Club rented their facilities to the auxiliary for the event. Harry Pratt donated his time on Friday night, keeping everyone aware of all the bargains and raffles.

What would I do if I wanted to be rich? I’d start a class action suit against food companies for their role in creating “the perfect storm”, the three major epidemics in this country. After all, a judge has recently created the “perfect guidelines” for a win/win situation. He ruled that smokers can be rewarded for ill health or death. Of course, it’s not their fault they ignored health warnings for 50 years about smoking! But since obesity Dr. Gifford-Jones causes more deaths than smoking, why shouldn’t food companies also reward us for our ill health?

Faced with a class action suit, food companies wouldn’t have a leg to stand on in court. Consider the junk they’ve been selling unsuspecting customers for years. So now you’re suffering from obesity, Type 2 diabetes and recovering from a heart attack. In fact, your cardiologist claims that without bypass surgery you’ll be dead in a couple of years. And all this trouble because of too many calories! Someone has to be held responsible. But “don’t point your finger at me”!

In court you can tell the judge these problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Diabetes has resulted in the need for cataract surgery. Moreover, your ophthalmologist is worried that due to diabetic complications you may eventually lose your sight. To add more insult to injury, diabetes has caused such hardening of arteries (atherosclerosis) that renal failure is a distinct possibility. You can plead with the judge the suffering may entail renal dialysis or a kidney transplant.

You may say to yourself, “How did all this happen?” But you know damn well how. Your doctor repeatedly told you long before you hit the scale at 200 pounds that this excess weight would most likely cause Type 2 since other family members also suffer from this disease. But in spite of his warning about the need to exercise and diet, you ignored his advice.

However, the fact that you were warned about health problems isn’t the point. Life has become a living hell because food companies continue to add excessive amounts of calories to packaged foods. Or they have made prepared food so appealing that will power can’t resist it.

For instance why are supermarkets foolishly selling 14 ounce steaks when smaller ones would satisfy? Do they expect all of their customers to have degrees in nutrition?

And why do they tempt you to purchase desserts loaded with hundreds of calories. It is dishonest, deceptive marketing, the ultimate culprit that has ruined your health. Someone has to pay for it.

In fact, if getting rich is the motive, why stop at food corporations? After all, because of excessive drinking your wife and children left you. Think of the alimony you’re paying every month! But this problem was not self-inflicted. It was the damn liquor companies that should have realized you were becoming an alcoholic.

One could go on and on blaming various aspects of society for our own self-inflicted problems. So this 15 billion dollar verdict against several tobacco companies is the wrong health message. In 2015 North Americans would have to be living on Mars and have half a brain not to know that tobacco kills. I’m no friend of these companies, but they should not have to reward people for lack of discipline. Nor make them rich for irrational reasons.

If anyone should be sued, it should be the government which for years allowed tobacco to be sold legally while it reaps the reward. If tobacco were introduced to the world today, it would be immediately banned as a hazardous substance. It contains 4,000 chemicals of which 40 are known to cause cancer in humans!

This is another example of an illogical ruling by a court.

But it is sad that society has reached a stage where individual responsibility is forsaken. Those who abuse their bodies with tobacco, drugs and alcohol cost us billions of dollars a year.

This is bad enough, but to reward them for their folly is utter madness.

What do you think?

Council votes down support of ‘Keep Hydro Public’ request Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perprint.ca

The municipality received correspondence from Keep Hydro Public, dated June 2, which was dealt with during the council meeting on June 8.

The correspondence, which is available in full in the council package on the municipal website (www.northgrenville. ca), read ‘The Ontario Government’s plan to sell 60 per cent of Hydro One, the provincial electricity transmission utility, has far reaching implications for every citizen and municipality in the province. On behalf of Keep Hydro Public, a broad-based coalition created to stop the sell-off, I am writing to encourage your municipality to add its voice to the many others that are already telling the provincial government to change course and keep Hydro One in public hands.’

The letter then listed the arguments

against the sale of Hydro One, including the assumption privatization will increase electricity prices and the loss of control of a vital asset (Hydro One).

It further stated the municipality of North Grenville should ‘…pass a resolution opposing the sale or partial sale of Hydro One and to communicate that opposition to the government, area MPPs, and the Association of Municipalities Ontario.’ “The correspondence states that by allowing Hydro One to become privatized it will increase electricity costs,” said Councilor Jim Bertram. “It would take quite an effort to beat the rising costs we are seeing right now.”

Bertram, Councilor Tim Sutton and Councillor Frank Onasanya all voted against supporting the request. Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin and Mayor David Gordon voted in favour of supporting the request.

The request was voted down by council.

Following Canada’s Food Guide will help guide meal planning. Trying to achieve perfection by using magical food fads will not help long-term balance when it comes to general health and the traditional cooking that our culture is passing on to our children.

The best gifts we can give to our children are basic living skills and learning to cook and prepare real food is a valuable skill.

our bodies do not miss any nutrients!

This situation makes the food manufacturers very happy. They simply integrate whatever the latest fad is into the advertising and let us face it; they can put just about anything into their cardboard box. Imagine advertising that Kraft Dinner is now good for you because the noodles are made from vegetables! Most of what manufacturers put in your food is corn and soy fillers!

Harold bought some pre-packaged frozen hamburgers for a nice quick dinner choice last week. BBQ Angus Burgers was the name on the box, but upon reading the ingredients, only 51% of each burger was Angus meat (beef).

Upon cooking them, they were certainly not real meat. Each was more like a mass of mush shaped like a burger.

They produced so much fat, I was just curious to read what was in these things.

The ingredients included; wheat crumb, textured soy protein, monosodium glutamate, hydrolyzed soy protein, dextrose and of course some silicone dioxide! Seriously these were boxed as BBQ Angus Beef Burgers! The other 49

is a family celebration, but even that can come from pre-packaged convenience.

The art of knowledge when it comes to food cooking is quickly disappearing from our culture. The children that we raise on instant food, at the push of a button will not be able to cook at all. The enjoyment of seasons and preparation of fresh foods from the garden will be lost.

The basic cooking that our grandmothers did so easily will become impossible for the next generation. Losing the art of cooking will be very detrimental.

Placing trust in food manufacturers can be very dangerous to our health.

Losing faith in the nutrition that is offered through eating real food is foolish. Real food provides nutritional balance.

per cent of each burger was made with ingredients that included both textured and hydrolyzed soy protein!

The more anxious we are as a society, the more vulnerable we are to the seductions of the marketer and the expert’s advice. Food manufacturers put their efforts into grabbing market share to introduce new lines of convenience foods that integrate popular food concerns and they are designed to create whole eating occasions. Nutritional patterns and fads come at a high cost with constantly shifting diets mixed with plenty of processed convenience!

It can be confusing to live in a time where every member of the family is busy to exhaustion and there simply is no time left to gather for a meal unless it

R0011948938_0307

Worldwide there are still cultures that have been eating more or less the same way for generations. They rely on taste, seasons and traditions to guide them in their food choices.

The western cultures are often very surprised to learn that those who set their culinary choices through tradition, pleasure and seasons rather than nutritional science and marketing are in fact healthier than those in the western world. In Canada and the United States, we are seeing unprecedented levels of diet related health issues at earlier ages!

It seems the more we worry about food, the less healthy we become.

Our corner of the world obsesses about: fats or carbs?, Three square meals or continuous grazing?, raw or cooked?, meat or mock meat?, organic or industrial?, veg or vegan? Foods of staggering novelty fill the shelves of supermarkets. I just think it is so kind of manufacturers to tell us that water is gluten free… Really??

The line between food and nutritional supplement has fogged our minds to the point where people make meals out of protein bars and shakes. We consume pseudo-food alone in our vehicles assuring ourselves that we will eat properly tomorrow.

Each of us is struggling deeply with our dietary salvation. Convinced that no matter what we do, we are eating incorrectly and simply must supplement or eat massive amounts to ensure that

Dr. Paul Keddy recognized for protection of nature On May 23, Ontario Nature, a leading conservation organization, recognized the exceptional contributions to natural habitat protection made by first nations, individuals, governments and companies. The award ceremony was part of Ontario Nature’s 84th Annual General Meeting and Gathering which took place at rare Charitable Research Reserve in Cambridge.

Dr. Paul Keddy of Carleton Place received the W.E. Saunders Natural History Award for his dedication to the protection of Lanark County’s natural heritage.

For more than 20 years, Dr. Keddy has studied, promoted and advocated for nature in the county. His major accomplishments include the 1999 publication of Earth, Water, Fire: An Ecological Profile of Lanark County and awards bestowed upon him more recently by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists and Lanark County.

Ontario Nature thanks Dr. Keddy for his tireless efforts to protect Lanark County’s natural heritage for future generations.

OPP: Distracted driving can cost you Everyday, officers of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) issue offence notices (tickets) to drivers operating vehicles while distracted.

With the latest fine increase for this offence up to $1,000 and three demerit points, the OPP hopes that more people will be deterred but also know, that only people alone can make necessary changes.

The goal of the OPP is to change unsafe driving behavior and improve road safety for everyone. Last year, in Ontario alone, 73 people lost their lives due to distracted or inattentive driving on OPP patrolled roadways. Adjusting entertainment systems, GPS

unit or stereo, eating or drinking, even using a hand held device, grooming or tending children is included in this offence.

“Statistics are only one part of the story, what’s more important is that it’s about human life. Please, don’t add to the tragedy; pay attention, pull over in a safe manner and stop your vehicle if necessary.

Distracted driving can cost you…more than you’re willing to pay,” said Chief Superintendent Daniel Redmond, Regional Commander, East Region, Ontario Provincial Police.

There are no excuses. Drive safe and be distraction free.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, assess a situation before acting. Only then can you have a clear view and map out an appropriate course of action. Find a friend who can help with your plan.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, relationships are challenging but well worth the effort. Nurture an existing relationship and do your best to see things through the other’s perspective.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, a hectic week makes it hard to keep track of all the things you need to get done in the coming days. Focusing on being organized will go a long way.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, solutions to a difficult problem become more clear when you take a break and find a new perspective. This break is just what you need to crack that egg.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, others are looking to you for advice, so do your best to provide thoughtful suggestions. Your point of view and demeanor make others very trusting of your advice.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 The only person who can help you this week is you, Virgo. Be optimistic and trust your instincts as you tackle the tasks at hand over the next several days.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, when it rains it pours, but this week there is not a cloud in sight. Enjoy the next several days as everything seems to be going your way and turning up roses.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, provide some support and encouragement when a friend comes to you for help in the coming days. Just being there to listen might be all your friend needs.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Things are completely out of your hands this week, Capricorn. While you thought you would feel helpless, the experience may actually prove liberating for you instead.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you have some time off coming up and you can’t wait to make the most of this downtime. Start making your list of planned excursions.

Yarrow Marie Viets

Yarrow Marie Viets passed away peacefully in her home, Thursday June 11, 2015 surrounded by her loving and devoted family. She was a beautiful, strong, courageous and inspirational woman. A gentle, caring and loving mother to her twin boys Marek and Brody, with limitless love for her partner and father of their children, Brooke Kelford. Forever loved daughter of Martha Moore and John Viets and loving little sister to Aspen Viets (Neil Newton) and aunt to their unborn child. Loved niece and lifelong cottage mates to her aunt and uncle Robbie and Leslie Viets and her fun and loving Viets cousins Lindsay (Jeff Moore) and their children Owen and Sadie, Heidi and her daughter Ruby, Emily (Nick Yudan), and Peter. The Viets cottage at Blue Sea was one of her favorite places. Adored niece to Mary and Peter Gibson, James Lay and Lorraine Renaurd, Charles Lay and Sylvie Hamel, Bill Moore, Helene Chaisson, Scott and Angela Moore, Laurie Moore and Kate Moore. She was the respected cousin to Ashley Gibson (deceased 2013) Evan Gibson, Neilson and Cam Lay, Sara and Ceu Moore, Laurie, Jenny and Erin Moore. Yarrow was predeceased by her grandparents. She was the daughter-in-law to Juanita and Steve Munro and sister-in-law of Annette and Mike Kirnbauer and aunt to their children Owen, Max, Stella and Kenzie. Yarrow will be remembered by Brooke’s father John (Robin) Kelford. Yarrow made many memories with her family and friends who have overwhelmed us with their support and encouragement, giving her strength to battle cancer these last nine months. Yarrow graduated from the University of Ottawa with a BScN and was a proud, compassionate and dedicated TOH nursing team member at the Civic campus for the last five years. Her colleagues at the hospital have given unwavering support as she battled the arduous treatments. Yarrow was a life-long athlete. It defined her. Her first year on skis was just after turning two, and she was a proud member of the Nancy Greene racing program and the Calabogie ski team, and then a coach at Calabogie Peaks. A proud moment, despite this past winter of treatments, Yarrow and her boys were able to ski together.

Yarrow was a swimmer with the Perth Stingrays for years and a competitive CPCC kayak and canoer and later a coach with the same club. She was a Camp Olympia camper, counsellor and a unit leader. At Fanshawe College, she was Vice President of Athletics and a member of their varsity basketball team for 3 years while she studied Health and Fitness Promotion, and Corporate Communications. Yarrow competed in triathlons and many running events over the years, always running an event at the Ottawa race weekend. Last year Yarrow completed the full marathon with ease and joy. Yarrow you have graced us for 33 years with your beauty, your love and your laughter. You have inspired us to be fit and active and have always encouraged us to be the best we can be. We will continue to walk and talk with you throughout our lives. We will surround Marek and Brody with limitless love and encouragement. We will share all that was you with them. You shall remain in our hearts forever. Thank you to the oncology teams at Irving Greenberg, The Ottawa Cancer Centre, as well as 5E and 6W at the General Hospital for their ongoing support and care. Thank you to the CCAC and Carefor.

Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St., West, Perth on Friday, June 19th, 2015 from 1:00 to 3:00 and 6:00 to 9:00 P.M.

(We have seven small roasts already donated but we need lots more). Any venison, wild turkey, bear or other wild game is welcome. We need relevant information. Unfortunately with the donated meat (MNR rules), we need hunter information.

If you are a trapper we could use young and tender ‘novelty’ animals and anyone with cured wild game like pepperettes or sausage.

We fully realize that it is a lot to ask for people to donate so much and then pay for tickets as well but all proceeds go to a worthwhile related charity (Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust) and also the fact that the nature of the dinner reflects philosophy of the club which is about community and sharing the work as well as enjoying together the bounty of where we live. Thank you.

Poisonous versus edible plant walk On Sunday, June 21, Derek Steele will lead a poisonous versus edible plant walk. Registration is at 9:30 a.m. with the walk starting at 10 a.m. at cLIFFLAND. Derek will take this opportunity to familiarize us with poisonous versus ed-

ible lookalikes and tell us why it is important to know this. He will talk about some signs of poisoning and how to react when this happens and he will have on hand, some of the more rare and toxic plants of the area. Derek’s aim is to help people start their own awareness of the dangers of poisonous versus edible lookalikes using the base which he provides.

He has been studying this topic for some time and you can see his videos on Youtube by searching ‘Irondsteele.’

Register through our website at www.lanarkwfc. com and click on the events tab. Cost is a voluntary donation of $10/person or $20/ family.

Upcoming events July 26: Cattail pollen, collecting and using. We will collect cattail pollen and then do some cooking with it.

Aug. 22: Mushroom walk with Gregg Rolak. Gregg will show how to identify some common mushrooms with the assistance of other available mycrophalgists.

Gregg has been harvesting and learning about mushrooms for several years now but warns that he only knows the Polish names for the mushrooms.

Sept. 19: Bill Barratt will lead a walk through the woods, assisted by Derek Steele, to teach such skills as identification of species solely by shape of crown and bark pattern, their different values as firewood and some of the individual qualities that makes certain wood good for certain uses; i.e. tool handles or framing lumber.

About the Lanark Wild Food Club The LWFC was established in 2012 with the purpose to raise awareness of wild food, gather and prepare it for consumption.

The group regularly holds foraging walks for members and newcomers to learn more about wild food in their own backyard.

Dream Comes True

KDHSI celebrates ‘Vibrant Seniors, Vibrant Important donation from Kemptville-based Grenville Mutual Insurance and its brokers help realize life-saving drinking Communities’ during BBQ water for Ugandan community The heart-felt sense of community came through loud and clear recently when Grenville Mutual Insurance of Kemptville got the good news that a much-needed drinking well in Uganda was fully operational and pumping fresh water for the first time. The well was completed with the help of a $21,000 donation from Grenville Mutual and its broker partners last fall at an annual charity golf tournament for Ryan’s Well Foundation.

The money raised was used in the Alebtong district of northern Uganda where the well was constructed, providing that community with access to much-needed safe water. Additionally, pump mechanic training will give local people the skills to maintain their new water source for many years, resulting in improved health for hundreds of families.

Since 2001, Kemptville-based Ryan’s Well Foundation has helped build hundreds of water projects and latrines, bringing safe water and improved sanitation to more than 842,000 people in developing countries. It all began as a grassroots organization whose vision arose from Ryan Hreljac, when he was six-years old, to build a well to solve the world’s water problem.

Earlier this spring, Ryan returned to Burkina Faso, Kenya, in West Uganda and then to Northern Uganda to visit more than 110 water projects, which were completed this past year. He will be also be involved in project work, meeting with communities, govern-

Kemptville District Home Support Incorporated (Cheryl Brown Centre) hosted a BBQ at Maplewood Park in Oxford Mills on June 11. The BBQ was held in honour of Seniors Month (June), which is celebrating ‘Vibrant Seniors, Vibrant Communities’ this year. The Kemptville Lions Club provided the food, BBQ and the volunteers to make the food for the BBQ. Grenville Mutual contributed the desert for the event and volunteers. Three bands provided entertainment – The Kemptville Lions Club own Musical Troupe, the Voyageurs and the Sing’n, Swing’n Seniors. Roughly 50 to 60 people attended the event, which took place under clear skies. Above, the Voyageurs performing during the BBQ. Above right, Valerie Morris (sitting) was surprised with a birthday cake at the event - organized by her husband, in conjunction with the staff at KDHSI.

ment, learning about site selection and doing hands on construction of latrines and drilling of wells.

“For well over a century Grenville Mutual has enhanced people’s lives by contributing to causes in the communities where we do business and also live,” said Ross Lincoln, President and CEO of Grenville Mutual. “This was a meaningful opportunity to give back: to do something truly special for families we may never meet, but

The Canadian Tire Cup brings out the best in ball Submitted by Lyn and Warren O’Callaghan

On a beautiful Saturday night in June, this past weekend, the baseball diamond at Riverside Park was full to capacity with cheering fans. Major League players in town?

Guess again. Riverside Park was the scene of a fundraiser for Jumpstart, which pitted the combined talent of the Kemptville Wildcats executive, conveners, coaching staff and parents against the staff of Canadian Tire to raise money for Jumpstart.

The Canadian Tire Cup was on the line. This marked the inaugural year of the Canadian Tire Cup Challenge between the two teams. Organizer of the event Lyn O’Callaghan, coaches girls softball, “Frank, as the owner of Canadian Tire, gives so much to all sports in our community. He is so very generous to the Wildcat’s club each year.

“We wanted to do something to give back. Studies show that kids that stay in sports do better in school.

The Canadian Tire Challenge was a way to support North Grenville kids playing sports and to give back to a local company that has done so much for the Wildcats in the past,” she said.

The game started off with a coin toss by the guest umpire North Grenville Mayor Dave Gordon. With Canadian Tire taking the field it was a hard fought battle through seven innings.

The long-time staff members coupled with Drew Hosick from Juice FM meant that the Wildcats didn’t have a chance.

The dedication with which the Canadian Tire team played was inspiring.

They were determined to win the cup and take it back to the store to have bragging rights.

There were several out of the park home runs by both teams.

A few shenanigans ensued while the mayor was umping with calls out at first being challenged.

Good-natured laughter and teasing were heard throughout the evening with both teams enjoying the warm summer night.

Wildcats registrar Mary Anne

Leang made certain she was able to attend the game.

“I want my volunteer time to be fun. This is fun.” Several of the girl’s softball players were out to volunteer at the canteen.

They could be heard chanting “We want a pitcher not a belly itcher” at the Wildcats pitchers.

Canadian Tire went on to win the game. The Canadian Cup was presented to Frank Hoffman and his team by Anthony Orlicky, Wildcat director of softball player development and by Mayor Gordon. Saturday night the Canadian Tire staff took to social media via Facebook to share photos and stories of the fundraising event.

The idea of playing again very soon to repeat the challenge was made with comments being posted that this event should be done more often.

Fun times were had by all.

Congratulations Canadian Tire on your win this year.

It was a truly terrific night at Riverside Park. Exactly what North Grenville is about.

KWBSC Slugfest Tournament a huge success

By Dan Piche

The Kemptville Wildcats Baseball and Softball Club recently hosted it’s annual Slugfest tournament which is comprised of local softball teams, with girls ranging from the Squirt division right up through Bantam.

Nineteen teams from Eastern Ontario participated in what was a fun weekend of softball.

Although Friday evening games were postponed due to rain, Saturday and Sunday had glorious weather which resulted in a healthy dose of competition and fun by all. With four diamonds continually being occupied, the tournament was well attended at both Riverside and South Gower Parks, as many parents and fans filled the

stands, and the canteens were bustling with patrons thanks to a crew of volunteers.

Locally, there were four teams representing Kemptville, one at Squirt, two at Peewee and one at Bantam.

The Bantam team nearly walked away with a championship banner, as they narrowly lost in the B final by one run in extra innings, in what was a great game.

The results of the tournament were as follows: Squirt Division: Gloucester defeated Mallorytown Peewee Division: Mallorytown defeated Spencerville Bantam Division A Final: Mallorytown defeated Greely.

Bantam Division B Final: Stittsville defeated Kemptville

Perth Bible researcher says Jesus will return in 2027 Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

A Christian researcher based in Perth believes that Jesus Christ will return in 2027.

Chris Whittaker, head of the Association for Christian Education, using “30 years of study on the bible and biblical chronology,” has determined that, by cross referencing the bible with astrological information, he is asserting that 27 AD would be the only year the Passover would have occurred on a Friday, the day of the week that Jesus was crucified.

Clocking in the roughly 4,000 years that he says occurred from the time of Adam and Eve’s arrival, to the time of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, another 2,000 years on from the year 27 AD brings us to 2027.

For Whittaker, who attends St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Perth, the year 2027 is also significant in that it marks the 60th anniversary of the state of Israel capturing the city of Jerusalem during the Six Day War. However, upon Jesus’ arrival, “nothing happens for the first 18 months.” But something big does happen eventually.

“The earth is going to flip over. That is the only way I can figure it,” he said. “The earth is slowing down.”

As for the so-called antiChrist, he “will come two years before Christ,” and “could be a

dictator, like Hitler.”

Further examination has led him to believe that Jesus was conceived in 8 BC and was born on Friday, March 27, 7 BC, at 3:29 p.m.

Whittaker also takes exception to the belief that the crowds that greeted Jesus and his disciples when they arrived at the gates of Jerusalem were all there for him.

“Jesus and his entourage come in before,” the high priests bringing the Passover lamb to the temple in Jerusalem, states Whittaker, when there would have been people lining the streets, holding palm leaves, to start with.

“I get a lot of inspiration,” Whittaker explained of how he works. “I go to bed with a problem and I wake up with a solution.”

While a lot of careful study clearly goes into his work, at other times, answers simply come inexplicably tripping off his tongue. Attending a bible study camp in the late 1970s, there was a discussion about a bible verse, Revelation 13:3, which describes an awesome beast, and “one of its heads seemed to have been fatally wounded, but now it was well.” While some have taken this to refer to a charismatic demagogue of a leader who miraculously survives an assassination attempt, Whittaker saw that it was “East and West Germany going to be reunited. I just spouted it out.” By the 1990, after the

Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

Rev. Brian McNally reads from the holy gospel at St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church this past May. Berlin Wall had fallen the year previous, he was proven right.

Another dramatic prediction he makes is that “the Catholic Church will reunite all of the Protestant churches,” which may be good news for Pope Francis – except that Whittaker adds that the Argentine “is the last pope.

This is what I believe.”

He admits that a lot of the bible is “symbolism, but it works,” such as the recurring number 40, including Jesus’ 40 days wandering the desert, where he was

tempted by the devil, or the 40 days and nights that Noah spent with the world’s wildlife on the ark. The number 40 is important, he says, because a woman is pregnant for about 40 weeks.

A tradition of foretelling Travis DeCook, a teacher at the Department of English Language and Literature at Carleton University in Ottawa, sees Whittaker’s assertions as part of a tradition within Christianity, with various “attempts to pin down

dates in the bible.”

Perhaps the most famous of these Christians looking to make some chronological sense in the bible was Bishop James Ussher, “a very prominent theologian,” according to DeCook, the author of Revelations’ Bounds: The Nature of the Bible, Secularity, and the Early-Modern Theological Imagination.

According to the book A Geological Miscellany (Princeton University Press, 1982) by G.Y. Craig and E.J. Jones, Ussher “es-

tablished the first day of creation as Sunday, Oct. 23, 4004 BC… (He also) calculated the dates of other biblical events, concluding, for example, that Adam and Eve were driven from Paradise on Monday, Nov. 10, 4004 BC, and that the ark touched down on Mount Ararat on Wednesday, May 5, 2348 BC.” Ussher (1581-1656) served as Archbishop of Armagh, Primate of All Ireland, and Vice-Chancellor Trinity College Dublin. In fact, in an article by Dr. Donald Simanek, a physics academic at Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania, one of Ussher’s contemporaries, John Lightfoot (1602-1675), Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University, not only agreed with the Oct. 23, 4004 BC date, he went so far as to add that “man was created… at nine o’clock in the morning.”

“This was a huge industry in the 17th century, this explosion of interest in this…the end times,” said DeCook. “People like Ussher, I think, represent quite a break from tradition. It’s an approach to scripture that I see as not a traditional one.”

However, with both Ussher and Whittaker basing at least part of their estimates on information gleaned from the bible, “I find this baffling because the bible is not a math textbook… Notoriously, the bible is unclear, (and) See BIBLE page 50

From page 50

presents a whole bunch of information that is hard to reconcile,” said DeCook.

Many academics have had to grapple with converting time between the Julian and Gregorian calendars, as just one example. By reading this on, say, the third Thursday in June at 7 p.m., “most people have never experienced time this way,” said DeCook. “Most people, for much of human history, did not know what month it was.”

DeCook said he was intrigued by Whittaker’s belief that it would be the Catholic Church that would bring all of the world’s Christian faiths together, since this runs counter to what was believed in the past.

“This is quite a break from that whole tradition,” he said.

In the 16th and 17th century, “a lot of these (end times) theories were by Protestants… (and were) very anti-Catholic.

It was so deeply engrained Protestant culture at this time.” But one area where Whittaker’s beliefs have a precedent is in the idea of restoration, of making the church whole again.

“In these interpretations, there are various sorts of restorations that happen, that the fractured church becomes healed,” he said. “That’s quite a typical motif.”

(Another idea, held by some evangelical Protestants, particularly in the United States, is that, in the end times, the Jews with repent and become Christians.)

While the more secular world of aca-

demia may view faith with great skepticism – with some people of faith viewing academics as somewhat condescending and elitist – DeCook himself affirmed that “I am a Christian myself and I take people’s religion seriously.”

Whittaker is not alone in trying to make sense of the bible’s chronology.

“People want to be the ones who have cracked it, and made this great discovery,” DeCook said.

He described his reading of the bible as being different from how someone like Whittaker may read the same text.

“The bible isn’t just stories, and I don’t mean to suggest that it is made up,” DeCook said. “It has form, it has shape…it’s narrative, it’s the recording of utterances, speech,” like the Sermon from the Mount. “At the base, what it is is change.”

The bible’s text is, according to him, “a record of God’s revelations in history, in the person of Jesus. It is more accurately described as a relationship.”

And when one is reading, it’s not just the reader who is engaging with the text – in a manner of speaking.

“The Holy Spirit is within a reader, guiding a reader,” said DeCook. “It’s about this word changing you…We talk quite a bit about being moved by a novel or moved by a movie.” Well, with reading the bible, “it’s transformative in that…a fundamental change (occurs).

The reader has been changed by this reading. It is a transformative process.

It is a relationship with God that develops.”

Summer is here: Get your ride ready for summer road trips Summer officially lands this weekend and that means vacation travel time for many of us. To avoid the nightmare of a roadside breakdown with a vehicle full of family members in ‘when do we get there’ vacation mode, here’s a few words to the wise.

Having a pre-vacation inspection done with an engine oil and filter change is a great way to get some peace of mind before heading out. Most service garages of all types offer special pricing for this service at this time of year and for the average vehicle it’s often less than $100. If you’re driving an older vehicle (2010 or prior say) consider making that appointment at least a week or so before the trip to accommodate any repairs or maintenance that might require extra time or specialordered parts.

When packing a minivan or SUV for the trip consider that everything you put in the cargo area can become a lethal projectile in the event of a collision. Keep softer items on top and harder ones on the bottom. Invest in a cargo net or two for easy and secure storage. If you need a roof rack and

don’t have one, a trailer-hitch mounted cargo carrier might be a good substitution. On average they can handle more weight that any roof rack and they’re much easier to access for the verticallychallenged.

Our warm wet weather can make for some extra strong musty odours emanating from our vehicles’ heating/airconditioning units. Mold and mildew love to grow in vehicle heater boxes and while there are many aerosol treatments on the shelf for this, the easiest way to eliminate the smell is to use the vehicle’s own heater. If your vehicle is affected, turn the heater up to full temp with the fan at a mid-speed setting. Open your windows and take it for a drive (twice the average workday commuting distance should do). You may have to repeat this over one or two days. The dry heat from the vehicle’s heater will reduce the mold and mildew and get rid of the smell.

Spare tires and wheel jacks/tools are some of the most neglected items on any vehicle, yet they can be vacation-savers in a pinch. Take the time to check the spare tire air pressure for

your vehicle as well as any trailers you might be towing. Don’t just check the jack/tool kit to make sure it’s there; pull out the jack to make sure it works. If you’re towing, make sure the vehicle jack and wheel wrench will work on the trailer or equip your rig accordingly.

When having new tires installed (a great idea before a vacation trip), it’s not uncommon for a tire valve mounted pressure sensor to get damaged. Before shelling out the average $70 for a new sensor, ask about getting just the valve if that’s the only part that’s damaged.

The largest valve manufacturer Schrader (whose existence predates the automobile) makes replacement valve kits for every vehicle on the road and the average price of a replacement valve

is less than $7.

It’s Father’s Day this weekend and some of the best collector and show car events are back. From June 19 to 21, the 10th annual FCA Ottawa Ferrari Festival comes to Preston Street with cars parked along the street Friday and Saturday evening from 6 p.m. onwards.

You can fulfill your Ferrari fantasy and be a passenger in a Ferrari for a charity dream ride on Sunday morning from 10 a.m. leaving from Ottawa St. Anthony Soccer Club on Preston Street.

For more information contact Giuseppe Castrucci at info@ottawaferrarifestival.com and view latest event details at www.ottawaferrarifestival.com. On Saturday the Italian Car Parade and Retro Show hosted by the Italian Car Club of Ottawa will roll through Little Italy starting at 1:30 p.m.

On Sunday, June 21 the 6th annual Father’s Day Show ‘n’ Shine lands in Riverside Park in Kemptville from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is a canned good or non-perishable food item(s) in support of the Kemptville Salvation Army Food Bank. There will be dash plaques for the first 200 entrants, a raf-

fle table, a 50/50 draw, automotive vendors, food vendors and more. Breakfast and lunch will be available served by the Kemptville Canadian Legion. Don’t miss the famous Burnout Contest or the live music. It promises to be a fun-filled day for the whole family.

And of course it wouldn’t be an autothemed Dad’s day without a stop at the Billings Estate Father’s Day Show (on Cabot Street just east of Bank Street at Riverside). As usual the spotlight will be on “Canadian built” cars (cars by invitation only).

“It’s huge in those critical cases where timing does matter,” said Kerri Choffe, manager of diagnostic imaging and cardio pulmonary.

Currently, the process of sharing data is done in a more manual fashion. Patients will also see improvements in the way of imaging.

The digital screens have a much clearer picture, which will make it easier for doctors to spot irregularities or zoom in on an area. Other benefits include the technical strides in accessibility that the machine will offer to its users.

“The equipment moves rather than the people move,” Choffe said.

Not only will it accommodate up to 700 lbs (this is over 200 lbs better than the

retired model), it can be lowered much closer to the ground. The new model will also be more flexible in its movements allowing the patient to remain stationary more often and the machine to move for a better angle.

EASY TO POST Just take a picture of what you are selling and you are pretty much done!

What a shame 1942 Dodge disappeared Bernie Richard of Essex, Ont., writes: “Back in the ‘70s, my brother Jim and I went to a junkyard in Harrow that was going out of business. We looked around and bought a 1942 Dodge because it looked cool. It was a 2-door sedan with a six cylinder flathead engine and a 3-speed transmission with optional Fluid Drive.

“Fluid Drive was an attempt at an automatic transmission. It could be driven as a standard 3-speed or just put it in third and step on it. It made a really interesting whooshing sound as the fluid swirled around inside the transmission. It also had an AM radio. We paid 50 or 75 bucks for it and hauled it home. After some tinkering, it was running but had a lot of rust. A shop in Blenheim made some replacement panels and we installed the floor and rockers with pop rivets (money was tight).

“We drove it on the back roads around McGregor but it

was never licensed. And we never got caught even though the neighbours were all watching us. Then life got in the way of doing any more work on the car so it was sold to a neighbour. He had it for a while and then it was sent to a junkyard again.

“What a shame. We tracked it down to a junkyard outside McGregor, but it disappeared before we could scrape together the funds to buy it back. I hope someone bought it and restored it. If any readers of this column know of anyone who bought a 1942 Dodge from Vallahora Auto Parts on Walker Road south of McGregor in the late ‘70s, I would love to see the old car again.

“This car was rare, an early 1942 model with full chrome.

In February 1942, most civilian production of autos ceased so the plants could produce equipment for the war. The later 1942 models had painted bumpers and trim to conserve resources for the war.”

The Canadian-built Dodge for 1942 came as the modestly priced Kingsway and the more expensive Special Deluxe.

Both series had the same 117inch wheelbase as the Plymouth and utilized the same 217 cubic inch flathead six. If Bernie’s car turns up, you’ll read all about it right here, where we bring old cars back to life.

Mississippi Mills

RELAY FOR LIFE 2015 Relay For Life ropes in $83,000 for Canadian Cancer Society Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

It was another successful year for the Mississippi Mills Relay For Life.

This year’s local Relay For Life event took place on Friday, June 5 at Gemmill Park in Almonte. More than 286 participants, 20 cancer survivors and countless volunteers took to the track that night to raise more than $83,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society – a number that will continue to grow for the rest of the summer.

“Some teams who participated are continuing to fundraise even now,” said Anita Carley, community fundraising specialist with the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. “We’ll continue to tally the amount raised as more donations come in.”

Though the current total is slightly less than last year’s final tally of $105,000 and shy of the target goal of $130,000, Carley said 2015’s event could still surpass their expectations.

“That number will continue to creep higher over the next few months,” she said. “But $83,000 is still an amazing contribution. Participants should be proud of that number.”

The 29 registered teams who participated in this year’s event each contributed toward the final tally. Many spent the months leading up to the event tirelessly fundraising, hosting bake sales, car washes and other activities to collect donations.

For the Love of Dido, a team who has participated in the Relay before, reached the gold level of fundraising after gathering $10,227 in donations ahead of the event.

At the silver level, the PAR-TEE Girls raised $9,173, while the Arc Angels reached the bronze level with a total of $5,161 in donations.

Each of the three teams was recognized at the event for their outstanding efforts, Carley said.

Relay For Life is about more than just fundraising, though, Carley said. Much of the overnight event is about coming together to remember and celebrate the lives that cancer has affected; the event is meant to be a light-hearted, fun time for participants to do their part to help an important cause.

Despite the questionable weather the night of June 5, participants were cheery as they embraced the 2015 theme: Relay at the OK Corrall. Teams decked out in western wear, including cowboy boots, plaid shirts and even a few cow costumes. Some teams even decorated their tents to fit the theme – the Walkie Talkies created an eye-catching scene with an

Even rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the Mississippi Mills Relay for Life, held at Almonte’s Gemmill Park on Friday, June 5. Hundreds of participants took to the track to walk through the night from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. to raise more than $83,000 for cancer research with the Canadian Cancer Society. This year’s theme, Relay at the OK Corrall, was obvious as participants donned cowboy boots, plaid and even dressed as cows for the occasion.

The Mississippi Mills Relay For Life was the first of a series of events across Lanark, Leeds and Grenville that will continue to raise donations for the Canadian Cancer Society. In 2014, the area raised over $285,000 for the cause. That total contributed to the $42.2 million raised by 128,734 participants who par-

ticipated nationwide last year.

Several local teams will continue to collect donations for the duration of the summer. To contribute, visit the Mississippi Mills Relay For Life webpage at www.convio.cancer.ca. Preparations for next year’s Relay For Life have already begun. The event will be held again in June, which is Relay For Life month across Canada.

Take action against cancer now!

Changing public policy is one of the most effective tools for preventing cancer and helping those living with and beyond cancer.

The best way to change public policy is for Canadians to speak up and make our collective voices heard.

The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that Ontario develop a provincial program that provides full coverage for eligible cancer drugs taken at home.

Ontario has the opportunity to study and review the programs in the other provinces and develop a program that is right for Ontario. It is essential that stakeholders, including the Society, Cancer Care Ontario, patients, and the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, be part of the discussion and involved in the development of the program.

Site map, traffic plan announced for Shania Twain concert at Wesley Clover Parks Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Ticket-holders and others interested in attending the Shania Twain concert at Wesley Clover Parks later this June are finding out they will have to shell out a little extra if they plan on driving.

An announcement made by concert promoters at the parks last week released the traffic and site plans for the event, highlighting the plans for off-site parking at the Canadian Tire Centre and the former Nortel campus at 3500 Carling Ave., with continuous shuttle service to and from the parks.

Advance tickets from the former Nortel campus are $15, while day-of parking tickets for either the Canadian Tire Centre or the campus will cost $20.

Concert-goers will also be able to bike to the parks and walk from a designated lock-up area, or take OC Transpo route 96 to Corkstown Road and Moodie Drive.

There will also be on-site parking for those who have purchased special accessibility or handicap tickets, and Para Transpo service can drop concert-goers off right near the entrance to the event.

Tickets for the concert have been on sale since March 13 and range from $90$180.

Sales of grandstand seats are nearly sold out, while all other Canadian shows are sold out, said senior concert promoter Andre Hudon.

Concert promoters announced the site and parking concert, coming to Wesley Clover Parks June 27, with plan for the June 27 Shania Twain Rock This Country paid off-site parking being one of the main updates.

But that’s not a surprise, he said, as the Wesley Clover Parks venue is far and away the largest in the Rock This Country tour in North America, and the only outdoor venue, the rest being in arenas.

If there was ever an event that could “Those arena shows have a capacity ranging between 12,000 and 14,000 per fill it, the parks in total could hold 60,000 show,” said Hudon, while Wesley Clo- people, said Tony Dunn, the parks’ chief ver Parks can accommodate upwards of operating officer.

“We are anticipating we will probably 35,000.

end up in the 22,000-25,000 range,” said Hudon of the Shania concert, taking place June 27.

Emphasis has been placed on security and safety for the event, and that includes the off-site parking decision, said Dunn.

The concern was for patrons with different needs being mixed throughout the parking area, he said, leading to the decision to go with off-site parking.

“Clearly that is the safest solution for all our patrons,” he said, though Hudon added the method may change for future events.

In addition to fire services, paramedics and police being on-site for the concert, more than 100 security guards will be managing intersections around the parks, including Moodie Drive and Corkstown Road, and March Road and Corkstown Road.

Corkstown Road will be closed to regular traffic the day of the concert.

Volunteers from United Way will be helping through the day for a donation from the event, though Hudon would not say how much is being donated.

About $3.5 million in upgrades have been put into the parks since Wesley Clover took over the lease in 2013, said executive director Karen Sparks.

The cost for the concert alone is about $1 million, with about 90 per cent of that going back into the local economy, said concert promoter Ken Craig.

Parking tickets go on sale June 12 at 10 a.m. at capitaltickets.ca.

MOVIE: Jurassic World STARRING: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, and Vincent D’Onofrio DIRECTOR: Colin Trevorrow RATING: PG I have truly missed dinosaurs roaming across the silver screen.

Sure, there have been radioactive monsters, giant robots and even aliens, and they’re all fine, but they aren’t dinosaurs. There’s nothing as captivating or as terrifying as a dinosaur.

So the story of Jurassic World is no mystery. A mad scientist with complete disregard for common sense genetically engineers some dinosaurs on an island. A billionaire turns the island into a theme park thinking nothing can go wrong. So no surprise when a terrifying dinosaur gets loose, and everyone has to run for their lives.

To be just a tad more specific it’s been 22 years since the events of Jurassic Park, and Jurassic World is a theme park that sees 22,000 people a day.

Two of those 22,000 are brothers Gray (Ty Simpkins) and Zach (Nick Robinson) who have come to visit their aunt Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) who

My Take

MARK HASKINS

runs the park.

The trouble is Claire is too busy to meet her nephews because she’s busy getting ready to unveil a new attraction. The park has been open for 10 years now and attendance is starting to stagnate. So the boys in the lab have crossed different species to cook up something bigger and scarier to create a spike in attendance.

Claire takes the resident dinosaur trainer and ex-navy seal Owen (Chris Pratt) to inspect the creature’s enclosure. Owen thinks the whole thing is a bad idea, and when it escapes he’s proven right. Of course by that time everything becomes about stopping the monster, and surviving.

Jurassic World is all kinds of fun. I liked the story and finally seeing the park up and running.

There was a lot of homage and nods to the first film, which were fun. The cast was great, and while their characters were the

stock characters I still enjoyed watching them. Of course all of those things are secondary to the dinosaurs. This film is all about dinosaurs running around and causing havoc, and that was awesome. Everything is so detailed and real looking that you can completely immerse yourself in the fantasy. It’s incredible.

The primary goal of this cast was to look terrified and run like crazy from things that aren’t really there. This was done very well. Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson were really good as brothers, and great at running for their lives. Irrfan Khan was a great billionaire, and Vincent D’Onofrio nails the villain who you can’t wait to see get eaten.

I don’t know why the heroine always has to run in heels, but Bryce Dallas Howard was very impressive doing it. Aside from her physical skills her performance is the kind that elevates the whole film. I love watching Chris Pratt no matter what role he’s playing, but he has definitely got the hero thing figured out.

The two of them together were highly entertaining.

Jurassic World is a great summer flick.

God bless those independent artists who spend countless hours on the road

walked onstage and had his guitar strap placed over his head by a guitar tech, with different guitars handed to him, tuned and ready by the same tech throughout the show. The next night he and Stacey were carrying their own gear up to the third floor of a Red Roof Inn, the complete opposite it had been when with Steve.

They’ve continued to travel though this way ever since.

On a more recent trip our way, Stacey and Mark had just got back from a tour of Britain and had done the whole thing travelling on the train, with carts attached to their minimal gear and merchandise. Gruelling, yet efficient, they said they’d try that again.

Shari Ulrich told us a story of being so grateful to have got a gig on the CN Rail’s “The Canadian” – Vancouver to Toronto run, to be able to then go on to Montreal for her daughter Julia’s graduation. I’m sure it’s an amazing trip but 4,466 km on a train, four nights and three days, is a long trip. One of the things she had to learn how to do was negotiate transporting her guitar and merchandise back and forth from her room, through many cars via the narrow aisle for, it seemed miles, to where she was playing. Once figured out, she loved the trip and has done it several times since. Always something different to experience, when on tour.

My friend touring with Rush speaks of, on other tours, having to co-ordinate 200 people who were all part of the tour from gig to gig and how it was like herding cats. The bigger the band, the bigger the entourage, which means there are that many more personalities, dietary concerns and ego’s to satisfy and deal with. I don’t know how long I’d be able to do it. She’s amazing, she loves it...

There are increasingly more musicians trying to earn a living, being their own management, booking gigs, tours, pre-planning recording sessions, keeping merchandise updated, musical equipment in good shape, updating websites, sending out press releases, utilizing social media as best they can, all the while trying to have a life, paying bills, maintaining a home somewhere, relationships, scrimping, saving (?), planning ahead...it’s all dizzying, at the least. The age of independent artists abounds.

Recently two musical friends made their way on a tour into the US. Both

had previously completed paperwork that had been approved, paid their money but when they got to the border, only one could cross and the other could not. It turned out the US agency had, in fact, cleared their requests, but forgot to pass on one of the players papers, which meant they missed four gigs and, once sorted out, made for a lot of long driving mileage to catch up to regain their tightly planned itinerary.

Several of our friends are real road warriors. They have been troubadours for years, touring from one coast to another, some of them actually living in their vans or cars as their only residence, storing most of their belongings in an understanding siblings basement. Computers and texting on cell phones have become as necessary for their business as their music gear. God bless the independent artist.

So, it’s got to be the love of what they do that keeps them going. A gruelling life, long time absences from family and friends, missing many of their birthday/anniversary celebrations, countless hours on the road with questionable food along the way, yet they continue and, I for one, am grateful they do.

Upcoming events • Friday, June 19: A Celebration of Hope fundraiser to help find Emma Fillipoff at 720 Rosetta Road in Lanark. Admission is by donation at the gate and music will be provided by The Commuters, Baseline and Jamey Cameron.

• Saturday, June 20: Sixth annual Perth Kilt Run. You can’t imagine the sight of 2,500 kilted runners streaming past the race start at 6:15 p.m. in front of the Perth Town Hall, completing an eight-kilometre run through the streets of historic Perth.

While attending a recent show in Ottawa I had the opportunity to sit beforehand with the performer, a singer/ songwriter-one-man band who’s just finishing a two-month tour. The very next day I ran into a Perth friend who is currently on tour with Rush, helping coordinate their 40th Anniversary World Tour for them. It reminded me of just how tough being on the road can be. We think of musical artists, all with the comfy tour bus, roadies to move and make everything work out but, of course this just isn’t the case for most and, even if it is, it’s a crazy life, just the same. There’s a poster going around on Facebook stating “Musician – person who puts $5,000 worth of gear into a $500 car to drive 100 km for a $50 gig” that I shared which got numerous approvals from my musical friends and seems to be the ‘nature of the beast’ for lots of them.

My one-man band friend used to do 300+ shows a year backing up another travelling musical artist throughout North America so was constantly in a different place every night, making the best of it with his other tour mates on the road, hopefully friends, but not always. He reminisced of that life and is now so much happier doing his own thing, being his own boss, content to be doing his own music the way he wants. As he states though, its a lot of work.

He started booking this most recent tour in October last year, with commitments at enough “anchor” locations to make it worthwhile, then filling in around them as best he could. He played usually five to seven nights a week, all one-nighters, driving often for hours between gigs.

As he says, now, if he wakes up at 10:30 a.m. and wants to check out a good guitar shop a hundred miles away, he doesn’t have to convince the rest of the group, he can now just go, which can make a real difference for any artist. It’s often a world of faith though too. Many gigs are booked by email, in advance, sometimes with promoters of varying skill and dedication so, until you arrive, often months later and it’s somewhere you’ve never been before...well, you can imagine all the potential crises.

Diverse show locations, times, varying people who attend and what they do while there, broken promises, car problems, equipment hassles, questionable places to spend the night, double bookings, each could be a nightmare or a sweet memory.

Stacey Earle and her hubby/musical partner, Mark Stuart told a story in our kitchen after playing one of our house concerts. They’d both been in Stacey’s brother, Steve Earle’s band, The Dukes, and had decided to become a duo themselves and head out on their own. Mark said the last night on stage with Steve, he
