REAL member receives lifetime achievement honour from Green Communities Canada News – One of the Rideau Environmental Action League’s (REAL) members has been recognized by the national organization, Green Communities Canada (GCC). Sue Brandum, REAL’s environmental projects manager, received a lifetime achievement from the GCC this spring. GCC is an umbrella group of Canadian environmental organizations that makes a point of celebrating the valuable work being done by its member organizations and their people. Brandum plays key roles in GCC itself, including been an instigator in developing the Well Aware and ecoENERGY programs, in addition to her paid and volunteer work with REAL. She has championed social enterprise and is the driving force behind the REAL Deal Reuse Store in Smiths Falls, serving as its executive director. Brandum continues to be a well-respected voice for the
environment in eastern Ontario, and the award is truly well-deserved. Resilience awards were also given to several Green Communities, including REAL for 25 years of service. The local non-profit will be celebrating 25 years of environmental action this October. One of its anniversary projects is to award up to ten non-profit groups with $250 towards a local environmental action project in their community. Following REAL’s June annual general meeting, some board roles were reassigned. REAL’s new president, Shawn Merriman, was attracted to REAL as “a unique and valuable resource to the community,” and feels that everyone can be doing more to protect the environment. Stepping up to the position of vicepresident is Karen Schecter, one of REAL’s original members. Schecter has held the secretary-treasurer posi-
tion since 2011, and the secretary position since 2006. Barb Hicks is stepping down as president, a position she held from 2007 to 2013. She will take on the secretary-treasurer role. Returning board members include Peter Au and Donna McKenna. REAL is fortunate to have enlisted Pam Craig, an art and geography teacher from SFDCI to join the group. Craig’s
enthusiasm, organizational abilities and experiences with the school’s environment club and young people will be a great asset to REAL. Also at the table during monthly board meetings is Ken Graham, Smiths Falls town council liaison to REAL. REAL still hopes to recruit one more board member, and would welcome inquiries from anyone willing to make the
commitment. The main requirements are that the candidate be connected to the community, familiar with current and emerging environmental issues, and motivated to do something about them. For more information, please consult REAL’s website at www.REALaction. ca or contact Barb Hicks at 283-9966. Submitted by the Rideau Environmental Action League.

Beckwith Township Fire Department 50th anniversary events this Saturday Jeff Maguire
Community – The Beckwith Township Fire Department will mark 50 years of service to the municipality this Saturday and the general public is welcome and encouraged to participate in the various activities which are planned. On Saturday, Aug. 9 the department, which currently has 26 members, celebrates a half century of success. A full-day of celebrations begins with a pancake breakfast at the fire hall in Blacks Corners followed by an open house and barbecue. The venture concludes with an evening dance at the Beckwith Recreation Complex featuring Eddy and the Stingrays. Bill McGonegal is just the fourth chief in the 50-year history of the fire department. He says all of the firefighters are looking forward to the anniversary observances. “We all get along very well and we enjoy what we are doing,” he says. “If there is a secret to the success of the fire department it is trust. We trust each other and we always back each other up.” Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd, whose father John was an original member of the department, says the fire company has been a major unifying influence in the township. “There are men from across the township on the department just as there was in the beginning. Their social activities, especially the Firemen’s Ball, brought people in general together,” the reeve recalls. “They are proud of the job they do. And we (citizens) are proud of our fire department,” Kidd states. McGonegal says the anniversary activities will give firefighters an opportunity to meet residents and outline the proud 50-year history of the organization. As mentioned Saturday’s festivities will begin with the pancake breakfast. It will run from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the fire hall. The cost is $5 per person. The fire station is located on the 9th Concession of Beckwith, just east of the township municipal building at Blacks Corners. Beginning at 11 a.m. there will be an open house at the fire hall. It will run until 2 p.m. and includes a free barbecue, games for children along with a fire safety presentation. McGonegal says the open house will give citizens an opportunity to see the addition to the fire hall and view the department’s vehicles and exten-
sive amount of equipment. The big day concludes with dancing to the music of the always-popular band Eddy and the Stingrays who feature 1950s and 1960s rock and roll. That event will be held in the recreation complex at Beckwith Park from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Tickets, at $15 per person, are still available or they can be purchased at the door. Charlie Kitts, a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame, will be the emcee. The doors open at 8 p.m. Food will be available and there will be a draw for a cedar shed at 10 p.m. The shed is valued at $2,700 and tickets are $5 apiece or three for $10.

truck and build a structure to house it. The truck, a brand new Ford Model 800 with a 1,000 gallon tank, was purchased in the spring of 1964 and arrived in July. That fall the fire hall, a small structure with one bay, was built just west of the current facility. At first the department could equip only six firefighters with turnout (protective) gear. The 21 volunteers who comprised the first fire company shared the coats, boots and helmets. In 1981 a much larger fire hall was constructed just down the 9th Line from the old facility. A recent addition added more bays for fire trucks. The department now has seven pieces of apparatus including a

Began in 1964 Since its inception in 1964 the volunteer department has provided fire protection for what is now one of the fastest growing municipalities in Lanark County. Prior to that time fire coverage in Beckwith Township was provided by the Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) from neighbouring Carleton Place. With its own municipality to provide for and the vast township (some 250 square kilometres) it was an immense responsibility for the OWFC. In the early 1960s the Ontario government decreed that all municipalities in the province must provide their own firefighting. McGonegal says the council of the day, led by the late Reeve Stanley Brunton (he served for more than 30 years as the head of the municipality), did everything they could to help get the department started. In March 1964 a bylaw establishing the fire department was passed. “Council has always been totally supportive of the fire department,” McGonegal stresses. Fifty years ago the first moves were to purchase a fire
front line pumper, heavy rescue unit and two tank trucks. Beckwith is part of the Lanark County Mutual Aid Fire System under which the various departments come to each other’s assistance during serious fires, highway mishaps or other emergencies. Today the department puts a major emphasis on public education visiting schools, talking to community groups and generally teaching people fire safety measures. “The kids (students) take the message home. The number of calls is way down from what it used to be,” McGonegal observes. “People today have home escape plans and they are more fire conscious.” Gary McEwen, the only original member of the department who remains active, recalls a time when they answered scores of calls annually. “We don’t have nearly the number of responses we once had.” McGonegal credits “faster responses and better equipment” with limiting the damage when fire does occur. The current Beckwith Township Fire Department focuses on training and preparedness. Individual firefighters put in hundreds of hours of volunteer service. The department has had four chiefs during its 50-year history. The first chief, the late Robert Brooks, served from 1964-1974. His successor, the late Arthur Nesbitt, headed the department from 19741990. Dale Currie was the third chief serving from 1990-2003.
McGonegal is in his 11th year as head of the department. The current Deputy Chief is Brent Lewis and the captains are Dave Blackburn, Darwin Nolan, Shawn Powell and Dave Scott. The remaining volunteers include Mitch Bourne, Rod Bowes, Dave Currie, Ran-
dy Currie, Ron Deschamps, Pat Donahue, Trevor Doraty, Brent Gardiner, Mike Hart, Ian Jackson, Dustin Lacelle, Dan Levesque, Joe Lewis, Mike McCann, Gary McEwen, Mark McNeely, Al Muus, Dave Parno, Dave Stevens and Blair White.

GICs and Savings Accounts – the park and ‘no-pay’ options When financial markets become a little uncertain – some investors get nervous. Uncertainty and nervousness can cause some investors to flee equities and jump into fixed income investments that they feel will provide more certainty and protection from investment losses. But … there may be a price for playing it too safe financially, like the loss of buying power from ignoring opportunities to keep your investments growing. The GIC refugees Canadians have $500 billion in Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs)1. Safe, yes – but socalled ‘safe’ investments earn low income – and GICs are actually a ‘no-interest’ option, especially when you factor in taxes and inflation. So, by parking too much of your non-registered portfolio in locked, fixed income investments, you could lock yourself out of the opportunity for growth. Look at it this way: The real return on an average one-year GIC was actually negative every single year over the last decade while, during the same timeframe1., the 10-year return for Canadian equities on the S&P/TSX Index was 7.97%.
Manage Your Money The savings account sideliners In fluctuating markets, some investors choose to sit on the savings account sidelines – which at least partially contributes to the fact that there is currently $670 billion sitting dormant in Canadian savings accounts, roughly $200 billion more than average1.. By sitting it out on the financial sidelines, these investors missed out when the market began its steady climb while those who stayed invested capitalized on the upside of the market and reduced the impact of short-term volatility. The market moves fast and often with no warning. Strong gains can easily be missed by sitting on the sidelines. Buying power erosion Often, the price of playsafe investment options can be the erosion of your money over time due to inflation. On the other hand, by choosing the right investments and sticking with your investment plan, you will be positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities as
they arise. Including equities in your portfolio can be the best way to protect your purchasing power and grow your wealth over time. But always remember, it’s a range of asset classed (yes, even fixed income investments) working together that is the vital key to increasing future income, offsetting rising costs, and reaching all your financial goals. Yo u r p r o f e s s i o n a l advisor can help you get your investments out of ‘park’ and into ‘drive.

‘The Railway Children’ musical pulls into Station Theatre Aug. 14 Arts – More than 100 years ago – long before J.K. Rowling invented Harry Potter – Edith Nesbit published ‘The Railway Children,’ a book that has enjoyed an enduring place in British children’s literature. The text has been adapted for TV many times; it’s been made into a movie. And now it comes to the stage of the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls as a musical. With book, lyrics and music by Paul Bexon, this modern adaptation loses nothing of the original spirit of humour, tension, adventure and the final triumph of good over evil. The songs are delightfully poignant, uplifting and even haunting. Set in Yorkshire in 1905, Bexon’s
play tells the story of a mother and three children fallen on hard times when Father leaves home in mysterious circumstances. Going from prosperity to poverty, the two young girls and a boy have to make tough lifestyle changes, but they are helped along by their fascination with the “railroad dragons,” as they call them, the trains that come and go through the tiny village. They delight in watching them, hoping that somehow they can take their love to their absent father. Director Lynda Daniluk, whose most recent successes include the swashbuckling play ‘The Three Musketeers’ and the musicals ‘Snow White’ and ‘Pollyanna,’ has assembled a strong cast for a
play in which younger and older actors share the principal roles. It’s a wonderful play, suitable for the whole family. Mother is played by Joni Thornley, who appeared as Mrs. Snow in last year’s production of ‘Pollyanna,’ and as a Guest at the Ball in ‘The Three Musketeers’ this spring. She has also served as voice coach for ‘The Heiress,’ and ‘Snow White.’ Peter – the son whose 12th birthday begins magically with the gift of a wonderful train set and ends with a disturbing ring at the door – is played by 10-year-old Samuel Lenser. A grade 6 student at Kars on the Rideau Public School, he has performed in the school’s arts programmes and many assemblies,
in a musical theatre showcase, and as The Grinch in ‘The Grinch that Stole Christmas.’ Samuel dances with Pique Dance International and Step by Step. (He’s also crazy about Minecraft and Pokemon.) The roles of Peter’s sisters – Roberta and Phyllis – are shared: Paris Healey and Valerie Brown play Roberta; Grace Armstrong and Maya Forbes play Phyllis. All these young actors already have impressive stage experience: between them they’ve been in ‘Pollyanna,’ ‘Snow White’ and ‘Camelot.’ Grace is involved in the Perth Academy of Musical Theatre – Academy Idol workshop this summer. Rounding out the other key roles are five adult actors: Brant Daniluk who plays Mr. Perks, the station porter befriended by the children; Josh Rutherford who plays the local doctor; Hugh McCullough playing a displaced Russian; and Steve McWade, playing a passenger in the train station, an Old Gentleman,

News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held July 24 in Brockville. Counties council is supporting a request to change the way Canadians are appointed to the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority’s board of directors, a body which oversees the local Thousand Islands International Bridge. The counties council resolution is in response to a letter received from the Honourable Robert (Bob) Runciman, Senator for Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. Senator Runciman believes it will greatly benefit this region and the local economy to have at least one local Leeds Grenville representative on the board. The US authority currently appoints three Canadians to its seven-person board. They are selected through the national Federal Bridge Authority and are not local residents. In contrast, the US Authority appoints prominent Jefferson County residents who live close to the bridge and, in some cases, are involved in the tourism industry. The Thousand Islands Bridge Authority maintains the bridge system (there are a series of bridges) connecting upper New York State to Ivy Lea, Ontario, which is a shared enterprise between the two countries. The resolution will be sent to the president and chief executive officer of the Federal Bridge Authority, Micheline

Letter to the Editor
MPP writes to Ombudsman seeking accountability from Hydro One DEAR EDITOR: The following is a letter dated July 25 by Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington MPP Randy Hillier to Andre Marin, Ontario Ombudsman, seeking accountability and transparency from Hydro One Networks. I am writing to follow up on our recent conversation regarding excessively high usage charges by many of the Hydro One customers in my riding. I am confident, based on what I see and hear from my constituents that, when extrapolated across the Hydro One service area we are talking about a significant number of people experiencing and unwarranted usage claims. It would appear that these usage problems began with the introduc-
tion of time-of-use (TOU) billing. I would further point out that my own office in Perth saw its usage double when the time-of-use meter here was activated for TOU billing. To be clear, I am not talking about the dollar value of the bill, I am talking about the stated or ‘actual’ KWH/per day usage. Hydro One’s current answer to such complaints is to recommend the customer get an electrician to test the meter, or have Measurement Canada come out and check the meter. The problem is that at best, both these options can only test the mechanics of the device and are cost See LETTER page 9
Commentary Food banks needs are year-round Editorial – Most food banks hold their annual food drives and campaigns around the Christmas holidays, but donations are needed all year. It never stops. Those campaigns stock the shelves for the cooler months, but in the dead of summer, the food dries up. Many local food banks, including Carleton Place’s Lanark County Food Bank, are finding it a struggle to secure donations in the summer months. It’s time to change people’s thinking because the need for food banks isn’t about to go away anytime soon. According to Food Banks Canada’s 2013 Hunger Report, 833,098 used food banks across the country last year and food bank use is higher than it was before the recession started five years ago. The cost of food has increased right along with utilities such as hydro and heating, so this isn’t surprising. And when you’re seeing a big boom in clients, the food needed also increases. Food Banks Canada stated that 38 per cent of food banks have cut back on the amount of food they give to households in order to ration it and make it last longer for all the families they serve. And eight per cent are turned away or referred to another organization because of the lack of food. That’s not to say that people aren’t giving. The tri-county area is a very generous community, as evidenced by support for annual Salvation Army campaigns, as well as Town and Country Chrysler’s Build a Mountain of Food initiative. However, perhaps those donations need to be spread out over the full year to better serve food banks? The need for food banks isn’t about to go away anytime soon, but changing our way of thinking about them can help.

grain would be thrashed by the same farmers who were right there in our barn yard. When the break came for their dinner, they wandered over to the kitchen door. Two long benches had been put outside and basins of water with bars of homemade soap were beside them. Huck towels were folded and would soon be as black as a boot. The men dropped their straw hats on the ground, splashed their faces, rubbed on the soap, didn’t bother to rinse anything off, and swiped at the dripping water with the towels. They headed into the kitchen and sat at the kitchen table, spilling over onto two planks that had been put on top of two sawhorses and covered with white flour bag sheets. It would serve as a second table.

Oval, but it soon warmed up with all the bodies inside. Some took red dotted handkerchiefs out of their overalls and wiped their sweating faces. It took Mother, Aunty and my sister Audrey all their time to keep the bowls of potatoes, beans, and turnips refilled. The big platters of roast beef vanished as if someone had cleaned them off with a dishcloth! Pies had already been cut, and were stacked on the bake table. There was no such thing as a clean plate for their pie... it was simply chucked off the pie plate and right onto the plate that had just held their dinner. Almost everyone had a second piece, and even the last slice of bread had vanished. I listened to the talk around the two tables.

prohibitive; Measurement Canada can only determine whether or not the device recording usage within the parameters allowed by law, the electrician can only determine if it is wired in accordance with the Electrical Standards code and measure for momentary usage. Neither an electrician nor a Measurement Canada technician can verify if the device is transmitting the correct data back to billing, if the software recording the usage is functioning properly, or if data is being corrupted in transmission. The number of cases I have observed where usage is simply without justification is of significant concern. I have seen very tiny dwellings with no electric heat receive usage bills that, in jurisdictions like BC, would automatically trigger a police investigation under suspicion they were operating a marijuana grow-op. Mr. Marin, this is a serious problem warranting either further investigation concurrent to your ongoing look into Hydro One billing practices, or a new and separate investigation.

that was. And how it was a blessing that everyone had good crops that year. And they talked about who would be the next to host the thrashing gang. The whole meal was over in jig time, and then they went back to the job at hand. Father said they would stay until all the grain had been thrashed, so that the thrashing machine would not have to make a second trip to our farm. And late in the afternoon, I heard the last of the big machine wind down. One by one the neighbours left, driving their wagons, or buggies, and the more prosperous of the lot, riding off in the cars. By that time, Mother, Aunty and Audrey would have the kitchen back in order. The planks that served as a second table were out-

News – This past spring the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) planted more than 4,000 free native trees and shrubs on 25 shoreline properties in their target area along the Rideau River. Now it’s your turn, Kemptville! This year, the Kemptville Creek Subwatershed is being targeted by RVCA’s stewardship programs to increase landowner participation in hopes of improving the water quality of the creek. “The Shoreline Naturalization Program (SNP) is offering free shoreline planting projects to landowners who live along the Kemptville Creek and its feeder streams,� says program manager Andrea Klymko. “A shoreline expert will work with you to develop a custom planting plan for you property using native trees and shrubs, purchase the plants and even complete planting – all completely free of charge,� she added.

Beauty of Ireland region stands in contrast to ‘Troubles’ Lifestyle – No trip to Ireland is complete without a visit to the north. We enjoyed our short stay in Northern Ireland in late June but left discouraged by what we saw and heard in Belfast. Although still divided politically from the remainder of the country, Northern
Ireland boasts some spectacular scenery. In addition Belfast boosters have turned the story of the ill-fated ocean liner Titanic in the city’s favour. Twoyear-old ‘Titanic Belfast’ has quickly become a huge tourist attraction in the capital of what remains a province of
the United Kingdom. On Day 2 of a three-day visit the four of us hired a van, complete with driver/guide, for a tour of the spectacular Antrim Coast. It was a very good decision! The previous day’s rain and fog lingered into the morning. But by mid-

day a refreshing breeze off an unusually calm Atlantic Ocean cleared the mist. We had good conditions for our stops at world famous Giant’s Causeway (an absolute must if you visit the north), Carrick-a-rede rope bridge (Frank was the only one brave enough to walk across it) and Dunluce Castle. The views from the northern coast are nothing short of breathtaking. Our driver Stevie took us to places where no tour bus operator would dare venture. He also stopped whenever and wherever we asked which enhanced our photo opportunities. Kathleen was thrilled to visit two locations for her favourite TV series ‘Game of Thrones’ which is partly filmed in Northern Ireland. It was a memorable day, including a tour of Old Bushmill’s Distillery, in the pretty village of the same name. Bushmill’s (circa 1608) claims to be the oldest licenced distillery in the world. We sampled some of their product which is distilled using water from the River Bush. The river flows over the same basalt rock from which the nearby Giant’s Causeway was formed. Kathy and Wendy weren’t keen on the “Northern Ireland nectar.” All the more for Frank and me! No worries, we weren’t driving. On the other hand Belfast, our headquarters for the visit, was somewhat sobering! That had nothing to do with a cemetery excursion we made. For the first time I was able to visit the graves of my great-grandmother, my great-greatgrandmother and a great uncle and aunt in Belfast City Cemetery. My late maternal grandfather, Archibald ‘Art’ Watson, was born in Belfast. Kathleen and I missed the opportunity in 2006 because our family had not yet pinpointed the family plot. This time I was able to lay flowers on the grave which was an emotional experience, but very worthwhile. The down side of our Belfast tour was the still simmering “Troubles” and the frequent lawlessness we heard about during our stay in the city. This was Frank and Wendy’s first time in Ireland and the Belfast visit was a real eye-opener. Parade season When planning our vacation I deliberately avoided the so-called “Marching Season” which begins with the annual Orange Parade on July 12 and continues with a number of processions this month. The Orange Parade, which is so peaceful in Canada, continues to be a thorn in the side of those working to keep the peace between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. I didn’t

hear of any serious problems in Belfast or other major centres in the north during this year’s parade. But last July four nights of rioting erupted in Belfast when the authorities banned Protestants from marching past a Catholic area. Protestors threw Molotov cocktails and blast bombs (some of which were packed with nails) at police who responded with volleys of plastic bullets and water cannon sorties. During the melees more than 50 police officers were injured, along with a number of rioters. The parade, which continues to be observed by the Grand Orange Lodge in Canada (there was a parade in Carleton Place where we live last month) marks the victory by Protestant King William’s army over a force led by Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne. The fighting took place in early July 1690 along the banks of the River Boyne in what is now the Republic of Ireland. The river passes through the nearby city of Drogheda, on Ireland’s east coast. Our train crossed the River Boyne and stopped at Drogheda station during our rail journey from Dublin to Belfast in June. In Canada the Orange Lodge came into existence in 1812. It once played a major role in the political and social life of this country. It is now generally considered to be a fraternal organization dedicated to various (peaceful) works in the communities where lodges are located. The past history of divisiveness over religion, while still a reality with some people, has largely been put aside. I don’t hear or read of any flare-ups in Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, the United States or other countries where the Orange Lodge continues to operate. That is not the case in Northern Ireland where the Orange Order was founded in 1795. We learned more than we wanted to about the current situation in Ulster (the official name of the British province) during our visit to Belfast. When Kathy and I first visited Northern Ireland in 2006 it wasn’t very long after tourists slowly began to return there. Tours of Belfast and Northern Ireland were on hold for many years, until what are euphemistically called “The Troubles” finally began to subside. It was hard to convince travellers they would be safe when bombings and shootings were occurring regularly. The first coach tours, early in the new millennium, attracted few customers. As tensions eased and incidents decreased, numbers rose steadily. Today Belfast and other former trouble spots, such as Londonderry (Derry to the local population) and Portadown are back on the tourist map. Still, long standing problems involving Protestants and Catholics continue to simmer in Belfast and other communities and occasionally, as they did last July, things boil over. We tempted the fates somewhat by staying in what was once dubbed “the most bombed hotel in the world” the famous Europa in Central Belfast. See COLUMN page 22

Bat proofing your home Bat proofing your house is necessary when the bats are entering the living space of your home. It is advisable to contact a pest management company or a wildlife conservation agency for assistance with bat-proofing your home. Rabies can also affect pets; to protect your pet from rabies it is important
to vaccinate them. Rabies vaccination is mandatory in Ontario for domestic cats and dogs. The health unit, in partnership with local veterinarians and municipalities, will be holding the annual rabies clinics on Sept. 10 and 17. The cost is $20 per animal; please visit our website for more. Submitted by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

Turbulent waters In retrospect I think we were given a rather sanitized version in 2006. We weren’t allowed off the coach in the contentious areas and our guide seemed to smooth the turbulent waters by using a lot of generalizations during his commentary. This year we had a very different look at life in Belfast! Although the situation in Northern Ireland is much calmer these days, the underlying issues remain. I’m not trying to discourage anyone from going to Northern Ireland. In fact tourists are welcome there and a whole industry has sprung up around the troubles. Visitors are encouraged to go to the places involved, take photographs of the many murals related to those difficult years and to ask questions about the religious-based conflict. All for a price of course! We arrived in Belfast just as Queen Elizabeth II was concluding a three-day stay in Northern Ireland. She was clearly quite welcome too and, considering the history of the Monarchy and the north, that is encouraging. What upset us was what we heard while speaking to local people. Our contacts included taxi drivers (some of the most knowledgeable people in any city) and other ordinary folks we encountered during our stay. We were shocked to hear

Be sure to wear gloves and other protective clothing at all times when dealing with a bat. If you are bitten by a bat or if saliva from a bat gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or a wound, wash the affected area thoroughly and get medical attention immediately.

Many bats will roost and hibernate in attics. Although bats are beneficial, they can carry diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis, which can affect humans and animals. They may also transmit distemper and mange to household pets. Approximately three percent of bats carry the rabies

Lifestyle – Bats are nocturnal animals and feed most actively two or three hours following sunset. Bats are efficient insect controllers eating about three times their body weight. Bats typically have their babies in June and come August many of the young bats are looking for their own roosting sites.

The Country Wife at Full Circle Theatre: Comedy, costumes and colour Date: March 19, 2014
Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BarnDoor Productions closes off their 19th season this weekend with the final four performances of their summer classic for 2014, William Wycherlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Country Wife. The show is a one-hour and forty-minute comic treat, full of period costumes, lightning-fast dialogue and plenty of real laughs, even 340 years after it was written. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story of a notorious ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; man who
hatches a clever plot to gain access to the young wives of his older married acquaintances. It was such a shocking show in 1670 that it was eventually banned from production for more than two hundred years! Nowadays, of course, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem nearly as racy, but BarnDoor Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new staging show that it still has plenty of fun and funny lines in it. The first week of the show at the end of July
drew the best opening week audiences of the season for BarnDoor Productions, their nineteenth season, having brought exceptional community theatre to Perth and Lanark County since 1995. The Country Wife is the ninety-fifth production from the community theatre, and it keeps up their long tradition of exciting, surprising, high-energy theatre.

Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) says the festival is proving to be an excellent way to bring together all of the communities in Lanark County. “All of our municipalities have something to offer, whether it is food grown on a family farm, products made using lo-
cal ingredients or local knowledge and talent,” he says. “The harvest festival is a great way to bring all of these elements together and celebrate them with visitors and citizens alike. Beckwith Township is pleased to be the host site for the festival again this year.” The program includes food seminars featuring “The Mushroom Man” of Lanark County, Scott Perrie of Valley Wild Edibles, who will present information about foraging for local mushrooms, berries, nuts and wild leeks. Other food-related workshops will include topics on garlic, herbal remedies and tinctures, beekeeping, apples, maple syrup etc. The renowned Bowes Brothers
are a highlight of the musical entertainment, and there will be children’s activities, such as a petting zoo, bouncy castle, face painting, and much more. “This is a destination for people who want to connect with local producers and learn about the foods available here and how to prepare them,” White explains. “There are so many benefits of local food, and the Harvest Festival showcases these while celebrating and showing appreciation for the passion of our community’s agricultural families. Join us for food, drink and fun!” The festival gives local producers a chance to reach out to new custom-
ers and promote the importance of developing sustainable, self-reliant communities through small, food-based operations. It is a collaboration of local farmers’ markets and groups that partner to bring local food to the table, including Lanark Local Flavour, the Lanark County Agricultural Advisory Committee, the Township of Beckwith and Lanark County. The celebration of local food is an annual event that supports more than 55 local businesses and six farmers’ markets, as well as developing a new economic development network for the county through partnership with the Ontario Tourism Culinary Alliance.

This week’s featured pets Zazu Remember me? They wrote about me before. I am a lovely skinny orange white tabby cat just over oneyear-old. I came to LAWS last September with a bunch of other friend cats. We lived together for while in an abandoned home. We did not trust people very much they’re so huge compared to us. Most of my

This Week’s Pets
cat friends found new homes. They tell me it’s great, you get scratches, belly rubs and good food, your own bed and a lot of ‘kitty kitty’ talk. I think I am ready to give it a try. Just small kids who like to pull my tail or scare me with unexpected moves are not yet preferred. I would love to be somebody’s buddy who is patient and quiet with me. I may even come and take a nap on your lap! How’s that for trusting large creatures again. Please meet me I am really handsome, too. Trudy
Zorro Another polydactyl cat, a boy, he’s a real Zorro thinking of the movie character. He’s long legged, slim, affectionate and good-looking. Zorro also gets along with other cats. We think he’s about three-years-old. For more information about our adoptable animals or events visit www.lanarkanimals.ca or visit us on Facebook page at www.facebook. com/lanarkanimals.ca.
Trudy is a lovely three-year-old calico cat with medium long hair. She and her four kittens were abandoned in front of the shelter in May. Mom and kittens have been separated for a while and all of them need good homes. Trudy is extremely affectionate, has been a good mom to her kittens and is very clean. She’s not a large cat, gets along

Lifestyle – We would like to thank everyone that visited our booth at the BIA Bridge Street Bazaar in Carleton Place this past Saturday, Aug. 2. We raised quite a bit of money for the shelter with our barbecue and it was nice to meet supporters and hear some stories from people that have adopted. We would also like to thank the following businesses in our community for donating the product and supplies we needed to run the barbecue: Giant Tiger of Smiths Falls and Carleton Place, Steve’s Your Independent Grocer of Carleton Place and Dollar Tree of Carleton Place. With their support we were able to cut down our expenses drastically, which means more money went directly to the shelter and the animals. This week we’d like to feature one cat, Zazu, who has been at LAWS for far too long and two cats all polydactyl. That means they come with extra toes! Further, LAWS continues to offer two kittens for the price of 1 ½ times the adoption fee. Several local Pet Valu and other pet stores have kittens available from LAWS. All of those have been spayed or neutered.

Mystery, crime writers to read at Classic Theatre Festival Arts – In an exciting new partnership with the Capital Crime Writers of Ottawa, the Classic Theatre Festival, in conjunction with its mystery thriller Dial M for Murder (running Aug. 8 to 31) is hosting a series of pre-show readings with some of Canada’s top crime and mystery writers. The Saturday Night Specials, taking place over three consecutive weekends at 7 p.m. (before the 8 p.m. performance of Dial M for Murder) will feature a pair of authors reading from their works, an opportunity to ask questions, purchase books, and get them signed, all under the pre-show tent at the Classic Theatre Festival’s venue at 54 Beckwith Street East. Entrance to the readings is free for festival ticketholders and $10 for nonticket holders. “Mystery on the stage, crime writers, and a warm summer evening,” says Michael Murphy of Capital Crime Writers, makes for “a Saturday Night Special to die for.” The Ottawa-based group has been in existence since 1988, when it was founded by Linda Wiken and Audrey Jessup. Barbara Fradkin and Vicki Delany The premiere Saturday Night Special on Aug. 16 will be hosted by Barbara Fradkin and Vicki Delany. Fradkin is a retired psychologist and two-time winner of the Arthur Ellis Best Novel Award. The prolific author has published numerous short stories and

Some of the country’s top crimes and mystery writers descend on Perth for the Saturday Night Specials, a series of author readings that precede the evening performances of the Classic Theatre Festival’s production of Dial M for Murder on Aug. 16, 23, and 30 at 7 p.m. Readers will include, above from left: Barbara Fradkin, Vicki Delany, R.J. Harlick, Linda Wiken, Brenda Chapman and Thomas Curran. For tickets call 1-877283-1283. eleven mysteries (two Cedric O’Toole novellas and nine in the gritty, awardwinning novel series featuring quixotic Ottawa Police Inspector Michael Green). Two new books are in production, including the tenth Inspector Green novel, None so Blind, due out in October. Fradkin’s co-host, Vicky Delany, is one of Canada’s most prolific and varied crime writers. Under Cold Stone is the seventh book in the Smith & Winters police series. She also writes the lighthearted Klondike Gold Rush books and novels of gothic suspense. Having taken early retirement from her job as a systems analyst, Vicki enjoys the rural life in bucolic, Prince Edward County, Ontario. According to the London Free Press, “It’s a crime not
to read Delany.” R.J. Harlick and Linda Wiken On Aug. 23, the reading series continues with R.J. Harlick and Linda Wiken. Harlick writes the popular wildernessbased Meg Harris mystery series set in the wilds of Quebec, which so far has six titles to its name. The fourth Arctic Blue Death was a finalist for the 2010 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel. The latest, Silver Totem of Shame, has been named one of the top ten summer crime fiction reads by the Globe and Mail. Wiken is a former mystery bookstore owner in Ottawa. Writing as Erika Chase, she has penned four books in the Ashton Corners Book Club Mysteries and is working on the fifth. Book Fair and Foul came out earlier this month. She is also
working on the Culinary Capers Mysteries, which will debut next year under her own name. She also maintains a blogsite, Mystery Maven Canada, with news, schmooze and reviews about Canadian mystery writers. Brenda Chapman and Thomas Curran The closing set of readings on Aug. 30 will feature Brenda Chapman and Thomas Curran. Chapman began her writing career with the Jennifer Bannon mysteries for young adults. Hiding in Hawk’s Creek, the second in the series, was shortlisted by the Canadian Library Association for the 2006 children’s book of the year. Her first adult mystery In Winter’s Grip was released by Dundurn in 2010. Brenda
currently has two series on the go: Cold Mourning is the first in the Stonechild and Rouleau police procedural (Dundurn 2014) and Butterly Kills will be released in 2015. The Anna Sweet mysteries from Grass Roots Press are novellas set in Ottawa. My Sister’s Keeper, the first in this series, was shortlisted for a 2014 Arthur Ellis award. Curran is well-known for his three Inspector Stride novels, set in the postwar, pre-Confederation Newfoundland of the late 1940s. Before writing mysteries, Curran spent more than two decades as a Senior Researcher and Writer at the Library of Parliament in Ottawa. A Newfoundlander at heart, the Ottawa writer spends as much time down east as he can manage, both for personal renewal and research purposes. “We love partnering with such fine talent, because the root of good theatre is good writing: without that, there is not a lot for actors to play and for directors to interpret,” says the festival’s artistic producer, Laurel Smith. Admission to the readings is connected to purchasing a ticket to the festival’s evening performance, and priority seating will be provided to festivalgoers. Those who would like to attend the readings only can pay a $10 cash admission at the door. To purchase tickets to the evening reading and performance, call 1-877283-1283 or visit www.classictheatre.ca.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Finances are on your mind this week, Aries. You could be driven now more than ever to get your ducks in a row. Expect such tasks to be a bit stressful but ultimately worth it.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Taurus, avoid being sidetracked by some familiar obstacles. Even with the best intentions you can get pushed off target. Pay attention and stick with it.
Scorpio, your intensity helps you get through some difficult projects in the weeks ahead. Be sure to make some time for rest and relaxation once your projects are finished.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Cancer, you may finally be ready to express feelings that you have been keeping to yourself. If you are worried about how others will respond, don’t be. You have accepting friends.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Leo, do not deny yourself some pleasure, especially if you have been putting in a lot of work and effort to attain your goals. Enjoy a little down time when you can.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Virgo, you cherish your time with friends and family this week, spending as many free moments with them as possible. In the coming days, carve out some alone time for yourself.

Dean John Orcheston Dean
February 21, 1928 to July 28, 2014 We are very sad to announce the loss of a muchloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, John Orcheston Dean, on July 28, 2014, at the age of 86. John was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, went to London, England, as a young man, and met his wife Ankaret on the boat to Canada. They were married almost 60 years, and made their homes, and many friends, in Oakville and McDonalds Corners, Ontario. John was a natural athlete, playing rugby in South Africa (for the Johannesburg Wanderers), tennis in Oakville (where he was tennis director and then president of the Oakville Club) and golf everywhere. His happiest moments were on his sailboat and at High Valley Farm in McDonalds Corners. Educated at Hilton College, South Africa, John qualified as a chartered accountant and worked at Cooper Brothers in London and McDonald Currie in Toronto, before joining Ontario Hydro in 1957. He was assistant treasurer on retiring in 1973, and continued to work in the energy field for many years. He leaves his wife Ankaret, children Joanna (David Wilson), Pippa (Keith Veerman), Louise and Anthony (Ann Anderson), grandchildren Jonathon Moody, Jasmine Georget, Amanda Wilson, Matthew Pedley, Adam Moody, Lucas Wilson, Simon Moody, Basil Veerman, Marlow Wilson, Blake Veerman, Sarah Dean and John Dean, and great-grandchildren, Ankaret, Kaitlin, Russell and Oliver. He was predeceased by his sister, Barbara Hicks, and his parents Jessie and Stanley Dean. We will miss his kindness, sense of humour, independent spirit and fierce love. A celebration of his life will be held at the MERA Schoolhouse in McDonald’s Corners at 3 pm on August 16. In lieu of flowers, donations in John’s memory can be made to Lanark Animal Welfare Society (lanarkanimals.ca or 613 283 9308).

A million times I’ve thought of you, A million times I’ve cried, If my love could have saved you, Gerald, You never would have died.
HOVER, “Bun” – In loving memory of a dear husband, father, brother, grandfather “Poppa” and great grandfather who passed away August 10, 2004. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Young or old alike. And today may be the last chance, You get to hold your loved one tight. So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, Why not do it today, For if tomorrow never comes, You’ll surely regret the day. So hold your loved ones close today, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them, And you’ll always hold them dear. Take time to say “I’m sorry”, “Please forgive me”, “Thank you”, or “It’s OK” And if tomorrow never comes, You’ll have no regrets about today. Love always, Katherine and family

BOLGER, Howard 1922-2009 In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away August 6, 2009. God looked around his garden And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again, He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb. So He closed you weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine”. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. If tears cold build a stairway And memories a lane We’d walk right up to heaven And bring you home again. We will cherish our memories of you forever. Love you wife Valma and family

Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival takes place this weekend in Almonte. Above, Mill Street during last year’s event. Take this year’s stellar line-up for example. Looking for something that is creative, innovative and entertaining, too? Check out Argentinian-born Veronica Gonzales, who represents Italy at this year’s festival. Like most people, Gonzalez has two feet but her feet are special: they can amazingly transform into characters of their own. Her various ‘body’ puppets perform to the rhythm of music and are full of poetry and humour. The festival’s world stage also includes Switzerland’s Figuren Theatre/Margrit Gysin’s production of ‘Daddy Bear Come Play with Me.’ Gysin is a trained puppet therapist from the Swiss Institute for Therapeutic Puppet Theatre whose story-telling skills have won her accolades from around the world. “The puppet theatre is, for me, the personification of art, fairy tales and stories that are full of images that touch me emotionally and mentally, that promote vitality and creativity on its own,” notes Gysin. “I write pieces about topics that interest me: otherness, solidarity, human dignity. It excites me to let stories develop from unspectacular little things.” Figuren Theatre’s show is aimed at children of all ages. One of the founding members of the Jim Henson Improv group, Puppet Up, (later renamed

Stuffed and Unstrung) will also perform at this year’s 10th anniversary festival. Experience the incredibly wacky and wonderfully imaginative world of three-time Emmy-nominated Leslie Carrara-Rudolph (Sesame Street’s Abby Cadabby) and her puppet pal Lolly Lardpop, in ‘Leslie and Lolly Make Stuff Up.’ “If I could wrap up a living gift for the children of this world, it would be this show, this way of navigating life creatively,” admits Carrara-Rudolph. “My mission is to help the young and young at heart discover their true joy and celebrate their individuality through the arts.” Carrara-Rudolph and Lolly are sure to bring smiles to your face and laughter bursting from your lips! This year’s all-star line-up also includes well-known entertainers from across North America, including perennial favourites, Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers, who have staged a production at each and every festival since 2005, and who will be presenting the show that they performed at the very first Puppets Up! – ‘Everybody Loves Pirates!’ Frogtown is comprised of three siblings, Erik and Brian Torbeck and Robin (Torbeck) Erlander. “When we were kids we used to put on shows in our home, using stuffed animals and hand puppets,” says Robin. That’s part of the magic of puppets – it’s something we’ve all done at one point or another in our childhood – played with dolls, action figures or stuffed toys and brought them to life. Puppets Up! showcases the professional puppeteers who make their living doing this! You’ll also want to check out Peterborough native, master ventriloquist and puppet tamer Tim Holland as he convinces the audience of the dangers inherent in the taming of ferocious and uncooperative puppets. Or enjoy a local troupe from Orleans, the Rag and Bone’s beautiful production of ‘The Light Princess’. “Our style of puppetry is called open manipulation. The children have a chance to see “how everything works”, and the puppeteers have direct contact with the audience, combining puppetry with storytelling and acting,” says Kathy MacLelland, one third of the Rag and Bone troupe. As the festival gears up for its 10th anniversary, organizers are intent on making this year’s event a grand one. With performances from 11 different troupes using a variety of puppet techniques including hand puppets, marionettes, and body parts, visitors can enjoy a plethora of
performances sure to please everyone. As well, Ottawa mayor Jim Watson will be on hand as parade marshal on Saturday, Aug. 9, with Sochi Olympian and Almonte native, Perianne Jones taking over the marshal duties on Sunday, Aug. 10. The festival parade is an enduring favourite and has grown each year. All the puppet troupes that perform at the festival take part in the parade, as do all the entertainers, and the procession is augmented by classic cars carrying VIPs and numerous locals carrying their look-a-like puppets that Noreen Young created. Mayor Watson’s caricature puppet by Young will be a highlight of this year’s parade. While the festival touts its national and international artists, its magnum opus is promoting puppeteers and entertainers from the local scene. Since its inception in 2005, Puppets Up! has endorsed the works of numerous performers from throughout eastern Ontario and the Highlands. The festival has also been the starting ground for numerous puppeteers who have been mentored by Young over the years. This year is no exception and we welcome Canadian Comedy Award winner, Freddie Rivas, with his show, ‘When Pigs Fly…Into Alien Spaceships!’ His main character, Astronaut Pig Hadfield, has dedicated years of study and work in the field of Astr’Oink”onomy, and is apparently ready to answer one of life’s deepest questions, “When will pigs really fly?” Rivas goes where no one has gone before and takes us on a hilarious space adventure. Imagination and creativity are key elements of the Puppets Up! festival and components that visitors enjoy, year after year. “I enjoy the atmosphere in Almonte that is created for the festival, which is very much a big street party celebrating puppetry,” says Mike Artelle, an Ottawa puppeteer and long-time fan of Puppets Up! “There are many free events for visitor such as the wandering street performers, live music, the ‘Balcony Performers’, and a puppet display in virtually every storefront window.” With 12 troupes entertaining festival attendees this year, it’s hard to pick favourites. That’s why the festival’s ticketing works so efficiently. A wristband serves as your ticket to each of the shows. Each day every troupe performs two to three times throughout the day, allowing wristband holders the option of seeing all the performances. Day passes are $20 for adults and $10 for kids; weekend passes are $30 for adults and $15 for kids; kids under three are free.

The industrial coal city of Lens, France had fallen under German control in October 1914. As a result the Germans also controlled the heights at Hill 70 to the north of the city and Sallaumines Hill to the southeast, both of which had commanding views over the surrounding area as well as the city itself. British First Army commander General Henery Horne ordered the Canadian

Corps to relieve I Corps from their position opposite the city of Lens on July 10, 1917. Horne directed Canadian Corps commander Arthur Currie to develop a plan for capturing the town by the end of July 1917. The operation was intended to engage as many German formations as possible and to prevent them from reinforcing the Ypres sector during the Third Battle of Ypres.

News - From August 15 to August 25, 1917, Canadian soldiers once more proved their courage in battle during the First World War. It has been 97 years since the Canadian Corps took on five divisions of the German Sixth Army as they successfully managed to win control of a spot in France called Hill 70. The Battle for Hill 70 represents a success for the Canadian Corps that is often overlooked, falling between the success at Vimy Ridge and the horrors of Passchendaele. The historic monument, located at Mountain Memorial Community Park, the only one of its kind in Canada, was created in 1922 to honour soldiers who fought in the Battle of Hill 70 in France during the World War I. Approximately 5,000 Canadian soldiers lost their lives during the battle, with many coming from the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. More than 20,000 German soldiers lost their lives. The battle which came after the famous Vimy Ridge battle is often called the forgotten battle even though Canadian soldiers under General Currie fought valiantly to keep possession of a strategically important hill overlooking the city of Lens in France. After the Canadians won Hill 70 the German army tried in vain 21 times to take it back. The memorial monument has been restored thanks to the Mountain and District Lions Club. There is now an interlocking brick platform resting on top of the original hill, a base for the flagpole, an access ramp and lighting for the

more important than taking the town itself. Whoever had control of the high ground, Hill 70, would in effect control the fate of the town. Currie felt that winning the town without first securing Hill 70 would be a tactical mistake. The plan was to take Hill 70 quickly, establish defensive positions, and use small arms and artillery fire to repel expected counterattacks and inflict as many casualties as possible. The Canadians managed to achieve many of their goals on the first day. They took control of Hill 70 but the Germans were determined to win it back. Facing artillery attacks, poison gas and in the end hand to hand combat using bayonets, the Canadians repeatedly repulsed the German infantry. They held on to Hill 70. The Germans did not try to get back the ground they had lost at Lens. From a Canadian standpoint the battle for Hill 70 demonstrated the Canadian soldiers’ tremendous courage and bravery. Six Victoria Crosses, the highest military decoration for valour awarded to British and Commonwealth forces, were won by Canadians at the battle. They are: • Private Harry Brown of the 10th Canadian Battalion. • Company Sergeant - Major Robert Hill of the 29th Vancouver Battalion. • Sergeant Frederick Hobson of the 20th (Central Ontario) Battalion. • Corporal Filip Konowal of the 47th British Columbia Battalion who was the only Ukrainian to ever be awarded the Victoria Cross. • Acting Major Massey Learmonth of the 2nd Eastern Ontario Battalion. • Private Michael James O’Rourke of the 7th British Columbia Battalion.

Teachers explored social media and responsible digital citizenship in the classroom as well as learned how to develop curriculum-rich, technologyembedded lessons for classes from Kindergarten to Grade 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been teaching design and technology for 17 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but now that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m moving to a regular classroom I thought this would be perfect to develop some technology content for the
kids,â&#x20AC;? said Leeann Chamberlan, a participant in the course and a new Grade 7 teacher at North Grenville High School this year. The iPads are said to help with student engagement, which can be difficult for teachers to maintain with so-called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;digital nativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; generation of students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think one of the greatest benefits is that students can differentiate their education because they can become more self directed in terms of what they are going to explore and how they are going to show their learnings,â&#x20AC;? said Campbell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are moving beyond the pen and the pencil and are choosing apps and having to decide
how they will show and share their learning with their teacher and their fellow students.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps students to put a personal face and touch on their work, it puts the student in the driver seat,â&#x20AC;? Campbell continued. Apps used in the course included Explain Everything, iMovie, ShowMe and ScreenChomp. The teachers at the course will be staying in touch after the program through Twitter and other means to keep one another posted on their progress with incorporating iPads into the classroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teachers are working together to share their best practices and spread them across the province,â&#x20AC;? said Campbell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We
have people from all ends of the province.â&#x20AC;? The problem, of course, is that not all classes in Ontario have iPads, and even fewer have enough for every student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This fall I will have four iPads that will permanently be in my room and I would like the kids to be able to produce multimedia presentations of their learnings,â&#x20AC;? said Catherine Byers a Grade 3 teacher at Centennial Public School in Kingston who was taking the course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they worked, say, on a math problem maybe they could take a picture of the formula and then add a video of them explaining how they solved it, then I could post that on my class blog so that their parents can see it at home.â&#x20AC;?
The program tried to be inclusive no matter how many iPads a teacher has. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been exploring ways to use iPads in classroom whether you only have one or you have what we call a oneto-one set where every student has one,â&#x20AC;? said Campbell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or you may have a variety of iPads in the school that are shared amongst the classes, we have covered all the varieties of circumstances.â&#x20AC;? This course focused on the use of iPads exclusively, and not the use of other tablets, like Androids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many boards also have a BYOD, or Bring Your Own Device, program and we are looking at how we can incorporate that,â&#x20AC;? said Campbell.

People love reading in the summer months but just what makes a great summer read? A few of Kemptville’s bookstores had some ideas.
The anatomy of a great summer read Jeff Mackey
jeff.mackey@metroland.com
News - Summer just isn’t summer without a good book to flip through, but just what is it that makes a good summer read? “It should be fairly trivial, not require concentration and not be great literature,” said Mervyn Berridge Sills, of MM books in Kemptville. “It should be something you can leave face down on a hammock in the rain.” There seemed to be consensus among Kemptville’s book store employees that you should leave your copy of War and Peace on the shelf when looking for the perfect summer book. “A good beach read is what we call them,” said Lexi Savoy, of the Book Market in Kemptville. “The best seller section is a good place to start, but if you
want something classic you could read Anna Karenina, I would also recommend The Help, which is popular right now, it is a bit of lighter read but it has nice characters in it.” “You could also read biographies,” said Savoy. “Like Michael J. Fox’s biography, he has a phenomenal way of writing, he is a little bit more funny and lighthearted.” It seems that many people choose their summer reads based on authors they like and trust as opposed to trying something from way in left field – and there is also a bit of a gender divide. “It is kind of tricky, it’s very individual and about what they are looking for,” said Savoy. “Guys are more fond of Clive Cussler or Michael Connelly – sort of action/adventure or legal dramas.”
“Women I find are more so interested in best sellers or popular authors like Jodi Picoult or Nora Roberts – light sort of fluffy authors,” she continued. “But a lot of women also like the darker stuff like Stieg Larsson who did the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo books.” But if you are looking to try something new, Sills has a recommendation. “Lee Child is always popular, if you haven’t met Lee Child you fall all over him, same with Terry Pratchett,” said Sills. “Start on Terry Pratchett, it’s humorous fantasy,” he continued. “He has written a number of novels and they are hilarious, they are like onions, just as you finish with one layer there is a layer underneath – and it is something you have never seen before.”

Merged midwifery services open new clinic in area sroy@perfprint.ca
News – The area’s newest midwife, Sharon Dyck has assisted countless women in Canada and the Philippines in welcoming new children to the world, including herself. In 2009 Dyck was pregnant with her second child and chose, once again, to have a home birth with a midwife. Unlike her first child the year before, her second was born in just 45 minutes leaving no time for a midwife to arrive. There was nothing to do but have her husband catch the child and then sit up and provide the crucial birthing care needed. “I was able to step in and do what they (paramedics) were afraid to do,” Dyck recalls. “I enjoy sharing my experience with my clients,” she says, adding positive birthing stories need to be communicated more in our society. Being surrounded by the comforts of home and able to control every moment of her labour was an unmitigated success for Dyck and many women who choose midwifery care, but the local health care professional is quick to point out women’s choices began early on and include the choice of a home birth or a hospital birth in Brockville with a midwife. Providing information and allowing their clients to steer through the pregnancy and labour, so long as it is medically safe to do so, is the goal of midwives at Generations Midwifery Care. Generations Midwifery Care offers three group prenatal information sessions that cover preparation for birth, choice of birth place and routine newborn tests and procedures so both the woman and spouse are informed. It was this commitment to supporting the woman in her choices that led Sylvia Rous, who lives outside of Perth, to Dyck’s service last month when she delivered her son, Parker. “It’s fantastic,” Rous said of her midwifery care. For her, it was the ability to make her own decisions and develop a relationship with her midwife that she knew she could count on during labour. In fact, the hours of prenatal care and talking out the options with her midwife made Rous confident that if a medical concern arose, her midwife would be an excellent advocate to speak on her behalf. “I couldn’t picture going through that with a perfect stranger,” Rous said. Her delivery of Parker turned out to be a perfect home birth experience with time to make a great breakfast in the midst of labour and the comfort of her own surroundings. “It doesn’t get much better than that,” Rous said. The midwifery experience begins
when the woman calls the clinic (613345-6608) and books an appointment to speak with a midwife. If she chooses to accept care from the midwife she follows the same process of check-ups, ultrasounds and monitoring as any obstetrician would do. Dyck has been meeting with patients at the Leeds-Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit office on Johnson Street in Smiths Falls since December 2013. “Hopefully, in the near future we’ll be adding more midwives in the practice,” Dyck said. She notes those who choose midwifery care are almost guaranteed to have their midwife at the birth as two midwives regularly attend each birth. “That’s one of the honours of our jobs. We get to know our families,” Dyck said. Once the child is born, the midwife will carry on care for six weeks postpartum. These appointments are done in the woman’s home for her and the child’s comfort. Being that the practice of midwifery has only been recognized in Canada for 20 years there are many misconceptions still out there, including the notion of danger after a caesarian section. Dyck and her colleagues encourage women to call and explain their circumstances that led to a C-section before ruling it out completely. “It’s still good to call,” said Meghan Jarzyna, practice director at Generations Midwifery Care. Another misconception is the cost. Midwives are a recognized primary care giver and as such are covered under OHIP. Midwifery has been shown to save the health care system money in the care of healthy, average pregnancies by reducing or eliminating hospital stays. Dyck’s desire to help others has brought her to the Philippines where midwifery was looked on as a life saver more than a money saver. In 2001-2003 Dyck did her training in an American school for midwifery in the Philippines where she witnessed a very natural process of childbirth. Due to the rural area she worked in women didn’t have access to epidurals and really had no other medical care. “The appeal to me is to help as many people as possible,’ Dyck said. Those who are interested in midwifery services can help future women like them by simply calling the midwifery centre. The centre and all midwifery clinics in Canada maintain an unaccommodated report to show the demand for their services and how many they are able to care for. The hope is the government will one day approve more funding to train additional midwives. “It’s getting more practices growing,” Dyck said, “so we can support more students coming out.”

Better quality donations and more volunteers needed for Salvation Army
Editorial - An important pillar of the North Grenville community, undoubtedly, is the Salvation Army. When a family or individual needs food, winter clothes or social assistance, the Salvation Army is there to help. They do not ask questions or pass judgement on anyone, they are only there to help. The general public may not fully grasp the significance of the Salvation Army, but those individuals in the community who can’t afford to eat certainly do. As an over privileged society, laden with commonplace $400 cell phones, 50-inch televisions and brand new cars, it is difficult to imagine a situation where you are hungry and in need. Poverty is a reality in every part of the world and North Grenville, where there is an abundance of low-wage retail jobs, is no exception. Poverty is a reality in every part of the world and North Grenville is no exception. Rural Ontario has its own share of people who day in and day out have to walk a fine line between having just enough and never enough. As such, it is the responsibility of the community, as a whole, to ensure that the Salvation Army continues to run smoothly, through the donation of goods and time. Therein lies the current issues affecting the otherwise commendable Salvation Army in North Grenville. People are quick to criticize the way others handle situations and even quicker to say “if it were me, I would have done things differ-
ently.” A lot of talk has been circulating in the community lately about the handling of unsuitable donations to the Salvation Army. Some have said the garbage should be cleaned up because it looks ugly and others feel the Salvation Army should be closed and placed under new management. Yes, there is a problem. The problem is not the Salvation Army. The solution has everything to do with common sense and decency and nothing to do with blame or shame. This an old story, told over and over again. Residents should always be selective about their donations, because trash is trash no matter which way you look at it. Residents need to stop leaving their garbage at the Salvation Army because if you wouldn’t wear it or use it, then what makes you think others would? So please be respectful when gathering donations. Also, volunteer. People are quick to comment on what others do and yet they are unwilling to get their hands dirty and help out. The truth is, if the Salvation Army had more volunteers, of which they are always in need, then necessary tasks would obviously get done more efficiently. After all, many hands make light work. Better quality donations and more volunteers are what the Salvation Army needs, not criticism for doing the best they can with what they have.
Mis-matched inter-species friendships happen all the time
L
ifestyle - I realize the Brothers Grimm tale of a donkey, dog, cat and rooster is fictional but mismatched inter-species friendships happen all the time. Take my trio of donkey, horse and sheep for example. Some animals just don’t like to be alone, so they pair up with whomever they can find. Others could care less, are quite happy in their solitude, and use their independence to torment the packdwellers at times. I am thinking of Donkey as I write this. When the two Belgian horses arrived at the farm, Donkey was quite smitten. He followed them around the barnyard and they tortured him by gracefully shaking out their long blonde manes and thundering away across the pasture, leaving him to follow with his weird sideways trot. After Ashley died suddenly and unexpectedly, Misty was left without her half-sister, best friend and leader. She climbed the manure heap, using it as a lookout post, and whinnied, tossing her head that way she does, looking for her sister. Every day for over a week she ran up and down the pasture, searching for
The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER
Ashley. Eventually the Farmer pulled her aside for a long talk. He took Ashley’s old halter down off the hook in the stable and held it under Misty’s nose as he spoke. Then he put the dead horse’s halter on Misty, and Donkey got Misty’s discarded adornment. That week Misty decided Donkey would be her new friend. She formed an attachment to the funny little guy and in many ways, he rose to her expectations. She no longer had to walk the pasture unaccompanied or sleep alone at night. When something truly scary like a barn cat or squirrel scurried by, Donkey got between it and the massive cowardly horse, protecting her. Unfortunately, Donkey also likes to tease the horse at times. He doesn’t
mind being alone, and is often strolling independently out to pasture while Misty isn’t looking. Many times she has come crashing out of the barn, in a panic, looking for her friend. She calls him again and again but he doesn’t answer. He just stands in the hedgerow out of sight, silently chewing and twitching his ears, as if he is amused at her discomfort. When we sold the sheep I couldn’t give up Gracie. The Farmer warned that she would be ‘coyote bait’ without the rest of her flock. Safety in fluffy numbers, I guess. I am happy to report he was wrong, so far. Her first week as lone sheep on the farm, Gracie stayed up at the barnyard, nickering and calling for her flockmates. One day she even followed the truck that took them down the road to see if it would lead her to a reunion. She got distracted and wandered into the forest instead, and I had to go and pull her back out. It took a long time for Gracie to get the courage to follow the horse and donkey down the field to the pasture meadow. But somewhere along the way,
she decided that she would be safe from the coyotes – and from Donkey, who has been known to entertain himself by biting and chasing sheep – if she just stayed tucked in behind the horse. Sometimes she appears to be right under the horse. I just hope she doesn’t get stepped on. I wondered what the horse thought of this new attachment. In the past she kept her distance from the sheep – particularly the lambs – because, I think, they made strange noises, she didn’t like the way they felt when she accidentally stepped on them, and anything small, fast and unpredictable is particularly terrifying her. It’s the elephant and the mouse story all over again.
The other day Misty started out to pasture, picking up the pace to catch up with Donkey. Suddenly she stopped, turned and whinnied at something. I went out onto the porch to see what she was excited about. Gracie was there, limping along. The sheep was favouring one foot that had been nicked in a hoof trimming session and it was slowing her down. The horse was telling her to hurry up. When the little sheep stopped to catch her breath, the huge Belgian trotted back up to the barnyard to accompany her on the long walk. I think she would have carried her if she could. dianafisher1@gmail.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com

Letter to the Editor
Toxic algae bloom a warning sign Dear Editor; The following is an open letter to Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa city councillors. The recent news about the toxic algae bloom in Lake Erie that has left 400,000 people in Toledo without safe drinking or wash water is a heads-up warning for communities right across North America! We have been calling for testing of phosphorus run-off into local streams, rivers, and lakes from the municipal sewage being disposed of as “free” fertilizer for farmers willing to risk contaminating their lands by accepting this hazardous waste. Farmers who buy phosphorus fertilizer are careful to apply only the amount needed for their crop, because excess phosphorus is both a waste of money and an environmental pollutant. However farmers accepting the “free” sewage to use as fertilizer are being given 4 to 5 times the amount of phosphorus their corn crops can use. That is because the sewage is applied at the rate to supply sufficient nitrogen for the plants, and at that rate there is far more phosphorus in the sewage than required. Ottawa’s Pickard sewage plant produces 45,000 tonnes of such sewage annually, and has the stated goal of being the first city in Ontario to spread it all on local farmland. In addition, there have been reports that some of Toronto’s sewage sludge is also being spread in the Ottawa area. We have pointed out in past correspondence that 10 tonnes of sewage are applied per acre to fertilize local corn crops, and the fields chosen require a 3 foot depth of soil, so are mostly on flood plains with tile drainage. Disking still leaves 1/10th of the material on the surface (according to agricultural research), so 1 tonne per acre of sewage contaminants are available to wash into surface waters after rains and during floods and snow melts.
Carleton University, Friends of the Tay Watershed, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and Rideau Valley Conservation Authority have received grants from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to better understand what is causing green algae blooms and profuse aquatic plant growth in local lakes and rivers. However, they are unwilling (or unable?) to actually test for phosphorus run-off into surface waters from sewage spread fields! This is the elephant in the room that all levels of government and the sewage spreading industry have insisted doesn’t exist for far too many years. Would you please act in the best interests of public health and the environment by supporting a proper scientific study of phosphorus run-off from sewage spread fields in the Ottawa area? Such a study needs to be conducted both before and after rain, and during both snow-melt and flooding. As well there needs to be an examination for sources of pollution adjacent to areas with algae blooms, and a tracing of the creeks feeding these areas to determine the sources of the phosphorus. Saying that average readings over a large volume of water have not changed much ignores the effects of high concentrations of phosphorus in specific areas, which are a definite cause of algae blooms. The high phosphorus levels in the ever-increasing tonnage of sewage sludge biosolids being disposed of on local farmlands are a smoking gun for these algae blooms. Please stop all the beating around the bush, and ensure this issue is addressed head-on with proper scientific research that looks at all causes, including the most likely!

GARDENER’S CORNER
Rugged Charm Rugged Charm perfectly described my Mom. This weekend, thirty four of our friends and relatives gathered to remember Mom. The day before the memorial our immediate family planted a “Rugged Charm Maple”. My sister Barb had brought her ashes from Vancouver. Her ashes were sprinkled around the root ball of the new tree. We kept a few of the ashes to be sprinkled at a park on the St. Lawrence River where Mom and Dad shared many a picnic with her sister and her husband. Dad, at ninety-five, is home again. To stay. He helped dig the hole for Mom’s tree. There were a few moments when Mom’s ashes went in the hole that he teared up. Barb and I explained that Mom’s remains would soon become part of the new tree. A part of her would literally live on. He suddenly became very calm and sat there for the longest time looking at the newly planted tree. “ This is the best thing you could have done for Mom”. “We’re glad you think so”. Months ago I wrote an article titled “The Occasional Tree”. It was about trees we plant for special occasions. This was a very special tree for someone that had such an impact on so many lives. Mom’s memorial service was very informal. No church, no funeral home but she was surrounded by those that loved her. Anyone that wanted to say a few words got the chance. Folks talked about her faith, her flair, her food and fun. And her love of animals.
R0012809146/0807
So that’s exactly what we did. We celebrated a life of all of the above. Including a cuddle with a duck if so inclined. It was the perfect send off for someone that loved family. She rests in a garden. She will be part of a new tree. On the table beside the tree was a guest book and a few photo albums. There was also a bouquet of flowers. A very special bouquet. We took a cutting from her tree and combined it with cuttings from all the occasional trees we have planted over the years. All of the kid’s trees, Dad’s plum tree and our anniversary tree. We tossed in some lilies and some asparagus fern. She loved asparagus and lilies. Mom was the one that got me started growing things. The magic of putting a seed in the ground and seeing what would grow. Beauty and bounty from such humble beginnings. Today we stood in a garden at it’s peak to remember. We had friends and family and food. We are so very fortunate. And in every conversation there was laughter. As I finish this article, a gentle rain is falling. A rain that will encourage “Rugged Charm” to flourish. When Angie and I go out in the garden we are surrounded by special trees. Each one with a story. I can only hope that your garden is such a special place. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

Do not overeat - but don’t forget about your vegetables, either Heather Westendorp
R0012808672_0724
Lifestyle - We have spent a huge amount of time discussing the science of nutrition, exercise, balance, disease and food fads. It may be time to really focus on the food. Rather than dissecting foods into nutritional packages for content, labels and nutrient balance. It is time to discuss actual REAL food and what to do with it. Peeling a banana is easy. Learning how to prepare a variety of foods is quickly turning into a lost art. Our grandparents made food look easy as they prepared meals that filled the kitchen with the smell of home, tasted delicious, colourful and nutritious. Today, we scour the grocery store for every family member’s personal favourites. Then our generation goes home to eat meals at different times on different schedules and even differing choices for food.
Heather Westendorp Family members five per cent of the time eat meals in cars or 25 per cent front of the television not even thinking about the foods eaten. The family dining table for breakfast, lunch and dinner has become a tradition that is completely lost. Mom works, dad works and the children have very busy schedules as well. Each eats food according
to their schedules and likes. Fast food has done a great job in addressing individual desires for absolutely every family member. Pizzas, Lean Frozen dinners and quick salads fill grocery store aisles; fridges and freezers all waiting to be lined up the same way at home to be consumed at each person’s convenience and speed. You can even swing by the grocery store and pick up a readymade hot meal! Each town has a huge choice of restaurants, for even more convenience. Most homes have stunning kitchens and yet the only items used are the microwave for reheating ready-made foods, the fridge for storing quick foods and the freezer full of boxes of frozen foods. What an incredible waste! We are all doing it!
convenience foods. This includes restaurants, grocery ready-made meals, pick up meals and the cost of all those boxes in the freezer and the cupboards full of quick commercially processed foods. People claim that buying real food is expensive. What do you spend in a month for foods that will not satiate your appetite and will leave you looking for more than just additives and chemical preservatives? Dust off those old recipe books that we inherited from family members and start from scratch! No pun intended. The fast food and commercial producers don’t want you to remember that food really is simple. Start with a few basic ingredients, prepare them and serve them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It does take time and planning, but no more so than Gramma’s kitchen sitting in a doctor’s office awaiting It is time to bring back test results. grandma’s kitchen. Add up The harder we resolve to every dollar you spend eating eat healthy by following every
single food trend and spend hundreds of dollars to buy foods with “healthy blue labels”, the scientifically injected foods with plant sterols that will allegedly lower cholesterol and whatever new seed of the week the media and food industry tells us to eat next! I took two years of clinical nutrition and all the while my wonderful nutritionist instructor stated at the beginning of each class; EAT FOOD, NOT TOO MUCH, MOSTLY PLANTS! The science of food is very interesting and our society has come a long way in understanding how it interacts with the human body, but, new information is constantly flowing and we really have only been studying food since the beginning of the 1900s. Each new discovery leads to human attempts to “improve” the food supply with science. Science has given birth to allegedly improving the soil, modifying breeds of
seeds, improving the look of food products and increasing production to feed the masses. Then the manufacturers put the foods through processing and put it in a box to be sold to the population. The average person no longer has to even think about food! Yet, we do, we think about it all the time! Now, we read labels, measure nutrients, try to understand diseases that are currently rampant in our society and look for new ways to live longer and be healthier. I would rather spend my time enjoying tasteful, nutritious foods that yes, I have to wash and even prepare, but I now know what is in the foods that I have cooked. I am using my kitchen! Heather Westendorp is a graduate of the University of Guelph: Food, Nutrition and Risk Management Diploma. She has also lost over 50 lbs. and is now a healthy weight, improving her health status!

A walk through the Heel’n Wheel... Have you been touched by cancer or know someone who has? Has this made you feel like there’s nothing you can do to help? Well, your local hospital’s (WDMH) Foundation has just opened registration for the 2014 edition of the event, and are encouraging you to sign up yourself or a team! The event is a one-day challenge that asks participants to pay a small registration fee and fundraise as much as you’re able (there are no fundraising minimums required to participate). Then, on September 6, 2014, you (and your team) will walk or cycle from Finch (25km), South Mountain (18km), or Greely (34km) to WDMH for a celebratory after-party and BBQ, including music, food, face painting, prizes, and awards! To start your day, you and your team (if applicable) will arrive at one of the three starting locations. At each starting location, there are volunteers waiting to greet you, give you a map of your route, and accept any last-minute pledges you may have collected. After a few words to thank you for your efforts - and go over the safety instructions - you are sent off on your route with a fresh water supply and lots of cheers from volunteers and passerby alike! Along each route, you and your teammates can look forward to some nourishment, shelter and a bathroom break every 5 kilometres! It can be grueling work expending so much energy, so you’ve got to stay fueled up! Along the way, you will have support from volunteer auxiliary OPP officers to make sure that you and your teammates are safe and sound! You will also have “Sweep Vehicles” travel-

ling along the route to give you a break if you need it - they can even take you to the finish line if you decide you’ve had enough exercise for one day! Finally, you’ll be welcomed to cheers and hollers as you cross the finish line marking you impact on the fight against cancer at WDMH! In good weather, the after-party is held at the Winchester Public School field; if the rain Gods prevail, we’ll see you at the Winchester Lion’s Hall on Albert Street. The party has fun for the whole family, so make sure your fans know they can join you to celebrate your success! Tip: Make sure you plan to be able to get back to your starting location to pick up your vehicle(s) from Winchester. If you have another team member with a vehicle, it may be wise to leave one at the finish location in Winchester, or make sure one of your fans can drive you back to your car! As a wise person once said, “Cancer is hard. Walking and cycling are not.” Do what YOU can to make the journey easier for someone you love.

Krista Klassen of Kemptville does laps in the pool at the Hub in Smiths Falls in preparation for world competition this month. covered the worlds was being held in Montreal a month after diving back into the sport this year and decided she would try and get there. She’s going into the races hoping to come in around the top 20 or better. Currently she is seeded in the mid-30s. Klassen is anticipating stiff competition as she signed up for some of the most popular races of the day; the 50m and 100m breaststroke, and the 50m and100m freestyle. She has been training independently at The Hub in Smiths Falls four times a week while still being affiliated with Jones’ team. While the pool is half the size of the competition pool and much warmer, Klassen sees this as a possible benefit. “I figure I probably increased my oxygen levels” due to the warm temperature, she stated. Wagland has also been faced with this challenge in Perth, but is choosing to tackle it a different way. For the last month she has been swimming once a week at the competition sized pool in Nepean.
The simple way to shop for insurance.
“It’s a different swimming all together,” Wagland said of the larger pool. This is mostly because there are less turns and so less opportunity to gain momentum by pushing off. The 2014 FINA World Master competition will be Wagland’s first world competition in the 20 years she has been a master. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” Wagland added. “It’s kind of scary.” Wagland has always faced a challenge head-on and it has paid off for her. She currently holds provincial and national records in her age category of 65 to 69 years. She knows her records will one day be bettered, and takes the achievement for what it is. “At least I had the glory of breaking them temporarily,” she said. Wagland will be competing in the 800m, 200m, 100m and 50m freestyle races, as well as the 50m fly. Currently, she sits in 11th place in the 200m freestyle and hopes this week’s competition will help her break into the top 10. “My goals have been to get fast-
er and faster,” she said. This will be the first competition Wagland is swimming as a member of the Perth Stingrays club. She has spent much of her swimming years in the Brockville club, but her relay team wished to move and she wanted to remain with her friends. “That’s what masters is all about. You make these friendships. I wouldn’t miss this for all the world,” Wagland said. The world masters is a bittersweet competition for the Perth resident as one of her swimming partners and friend is currently battling Parkinson’s disease and may be swimming competitively for the last time. Wagland encourages anyone interested in improving their fitness and health to consider competitive swimming. “I think it’s a discipline that helps you in everything you do in life,” she said. The 2014 FINA World Masters runs from July 27 to Aug. 10 in Montreal. As the largest FINA event, the world masters aims to promote fitness, friendship, understanding and competition.

Duane Jones has coached swimming for 50 years this fall and still gets excited when he can share the excitement and awe of international competition with others. Jones’ philosophy is simple: everyone should have the opportunity to try swimming and once on his team “they should be given every opportunity to be the best they can be.” This year’s masters contingent has swimmers of all ages with the most senior being aged 84. Over the years, Jones has built the Technosport Swim and Triathlon Club (www.technosport.ca) into the one time home of six world champions. It is this ability to encourage excellence that Jones feels draws swimmers to him. “They want to be part of history, part of the legacy,” he added. “We’ll see what this year brings.” The Perth area coach is keeping his eye out for a couple of his athletes, including Krista Klassen of the Kemptville area and Wendy Wagland of Perth. “I remember coaching her (Klassen) when she was a little girl,” Jones added. “I’ll be excited to watch her and others like her.” Klassen swam for Jones’ competitive youth team during the ages of 10 to17 and just returned to the sport this past January hoping it could help her resolve her back pain and relieve stress. “It’s almost eliminated the back problems. Mentally it is so uplifting,” Klassen said. She feels the years she spent away from swimming have given her the opportunity to have a different perspective going into competition.

Rideau Glen ladies enjoy Christmas in July With the power of prayers, heaven and earth can be move to comply to all our wishes. All the best to you, dear Linda! We do miss you!
Dispatches from the fairway
The match play has come along with only Marjorie and Peggy to play their second leg. Lana won her match against Pat and Brenda Macumber won hers against Brenda Clark. The last leg will be played in mid August with the winner to be crowned. Who will it be? Our end of July golf/dinner/ meeting happened on a beautiful dry summer day. More than 50 ladies played and dined. All were dress in red or green as we were celebrating “Christmas in July”. The game organized by the Captains, Jean & Frankie, was closest to the pin on hole no. 10. Only 3 names appeared on the stake for Libby Price chipped her ball in the hole. No one else could match her play. Well done Libby. Birdie pins were allotted to
Marg McCornock and Brenda Macumber. But the queen of the evening was Val Hansen who had a holein-one on hole no.16. Quite a feat that very few ever accomplish. With Val, two more ladies through the years also achieved this skillful task. They were Lois Forbes and Helen MacKenzie, both in 2004. A special trophy-plaque will be presented to them by Mary. Congratulations ladies, you are in a league of your own. All feasted the turkey dinner prepared by Mike and his aides. After the business part of the evening, Mary played Santa and gifts were handed to the ladies. There were surprises for all. It was a great evening. As July ended, it was a good month for golf and the ladies at times, enjoyed a dry course. Let us hope that August will even be better for we have the club championship to look forward to and also the ladies invite a guest. See you on the course.

Brooke Henderson to play charity match at Brockville Country Club Community – Brooke Henderson, the 16-year-old golfing phenom from Smiths Falls, will be playing a charity match at the Brockville Country Club on Wednesday, Aug. 13 in support of the St. John Ambulance Brigade of Leeds-Grenville & Lanark Caring for Our Community Capital Campaign. This charity match was arranged at the Caring for Our Community campaign launch on Valentine’s Day 2014 when $1,000 was raised in a draw to determine who would have the pleasure of playing with Henderson. Pat Markovich of Brockville was the lucky draw winner that day. She will be joining Henderson, John Williams, the Brockville Country Club’s (BCC) oldest active member at 94 years young, and David Dargie, capital campaign co-ordinator. The golfers will tee off at 11:30 a.m. and the public, especially junior golfers, are invited to come out and “walk with Brooke” during the match.
Henderson is enjoying a fabulous 2014 golf season. On July 30 she became the youngest winner of the PGA Women’s Championship of Canada presented by Nike Golf after an unbelievable two days at FireRock Golf Club in Komoka, Ontario. Henderson posted a twoday total of 13-under par, setting a new championship scoring record and adding her name to a list of champions that includes Lorie Kane, Cathy Sherk, Gail Graham, Nancy Harvey, Jessica Shepley and Alena Sharp. With the win, Henderson, who is currently ranked No. 2 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, pads her already impressive tournament stats in 2014. She was the low amateur (T10) at the US Women’s Open, finished tied for 26th at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, and tied for 45th at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic. She also has wins this year at the Canadian Women’s Tour event in Niagara Falls, the Porter Cup, the Ontario Women’s Amateur, the Scott Robertson Memo-
rial Tournament and the South Atlantic Ladies Amateur. Dargie, organizer of this charity match, observed, “Brooke Henderson is an accomplished golfer and a great role model who has been kind enough to lend her support to our capital campaign. She was the honorary chair of our Riverside $1Million Hole-in-One Challenge and had agreed earlier this year to play a charity golf match to raise funds for our cause. Golfers in Brockville and area are invited to join us on Aug. 13 to see Brooke’s skills in person and get to meet this world ranked player. This is a unique opportunity for any golf fan to walk the fairways with Brooke when she plays at the BCC.” Anyone wishing to observe this charity match is invited to the Brockville Country Club to walk the front nine of the 18-hole match beginning at 11:30 a.m. Chris Fry/PGA of Canada There is no admission charge for Brooke Henderson, a 16-year-old amateur golfer, poses with the trophy she won last this event. Parts of the match will week as the winner of the PGA Women’s Championship of Canada. be recorded for TV Cogeco’s golf program, Tee’d Off.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.
GIFTING TO CHARITY IS NOT JUST FOR THE WEALTHY. A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY! Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have the time to do it. by Jessica Houle, lawyer at Sicotte Guilbault LLP, jhoule@sicotte.ca (613)-837-7408, ext. 260
It is a mistake to think that charitable gifting is only for people at a certain income level. Anyone can leave a charitable gift from their estate, regardless of the size of the estate. A gift is a gift, no matter how big or small and every bit helps and is appreciated. The good news is that including a gift in your Will is very easy
a legacy gift in your Will is a great way “ Leaving to give back to the community without having to compromise your time. ”
and will benefit many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfillment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefits which are worth considering.
Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it. Leaving a legacy gift in your Will is a great way to give back to the community without having to compromise your time.
If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at
megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694
In short, you don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference and there is no such thing as an insignificant gift. By including a gift in your Will, whatever its size, you are helping to ensure that CHEO’s important work lives on for generations to come.

Always remember to investigate options for tire warranties Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
a vehicle parked in the sun is to open the doors on one side and then rapidly open and close a door on the opposite side several times in a row with its window rolled up. The swinging door will act like a fan pushing the hot air out the other side. If there’s limited room in a parking lot, just roll down the windows on the opposite side instead of opening the doors. Watch those wipers A popular feature on some upscale and highly optioned SUVs and minivans is a rear wiper that comes on automatically when the driver puts the transmission in reverse while the front wipers are on. This is a great feature until you have a bike rack attached to the rear with support straps that lie across the wiper blade and arm. So before you mount such an accessory for your next trip check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if you can disarm such a feature if your vehicle has it, or remove the wiper arm if it can’t be disabled. This weekend is full of opportunities for chrome addicts to get their fix at a wide number of car shows in the region.

Lifestyle – You don’t have to be that old a car owner to remember when almost every tire manufacturer offered a ‘road hazard’ warranty. These protection plans, which almost always came standard with the purchase of new tires, would offer replacement coverage in the event of a puncture which left the tire irreparable. They did not cover the cost of a plug/patch repair, if the tire was still serviceable. It offered great piece of mind especially to those motorists who were unfortunate enough to drive over something on the road with relatively new tires. Fast forward to today and few tire companies offer this service anymore on their products, even though they’re made with improved materials and manufacturing techniques which makes them almost impenetrable to all but the sharpest of road and construction debris. But there is a way to get this handy coverage if you know how to find it. Two US tire firms, Vanderbilt and GT Radial, offer road-hazard warranty at no extra cost on selected passenger car and light truck tires. These are available at many area tire retailers. With a road-hazard warranty, if the tire is left irreparable due to a puncture, a replacement tire is offered on a pro-rated basis. For example, if the tire has 25 per cent wear as indicated by a tread-depth measurement, a customer could expect to pay 25 per cent of the cost of a replacement tire plus installation, balancing, and taxes. Some Goodyear/Dunlop tire retailers will offer a road-hazard plan for a reasonable fee when purchasing new tires. Just ask at the order desk. As well some auto retailers will offer road-hazard warranties in addition to extended vehicle protection plans through their business offices. These are usually only available when purchasing a new or pre-owned vehicle. Stifling hot air A quick way to remove stifling hot air from
Mike Ogilvie’s customized 1987 GMC truck is not for sale Lifestyle – Mike Ogilvie operates Ogilvie’s Auto Fleet Service Inc. in Jasper, Ontario, and sponsored the Merrickville Car Show and Cruise and Shop on Sunday, July 13. His 1987 GMC truck was on display with more than a thousand other classic vehicles. He writes: “My 1987 Chevy truck was my first new vehicle and my first education on financing. I bought this truck brand new from Surgenor Truck Centre in Ottawa when I was making $175 a week working for my parents and had to get them to co-sign for me. Mom reminded me that over $100 per week was going to my truck payment and was I sure that would leave me enough for everything else (other hot rods, girls, and fuel). I assured her there was no problem. I had to have the truck, and it would be paid off in 60 months. About six months into it, I realized all about being committed to a payment. It was a long five years but I did it and it taught me a lot. “The truck is a 1987 GMC 1500 4x4 equipped with a 6.2 litre diesel engine and 700 R4 overdrive transmission. It originally had 3.08 gears but has been upgraded to ¾ ton differential with 3.73 gears, 6-inch lift kit, 35”x18” Mickey Thompson tires and Eagle wheels. “At first, we looked for a good ’81’87 Chev or GMC short box for a lift kit and wheels and tires but couldn’t find anything decent. Then we decided to go new. When I signed the loan at the bank,
the lady was nice enough to include a little extra for my lift kit (another thing I learned about banking). The day after I picked up my new truck, I had it in the shop with the entire suspension out of it to install the lift kit. I can remember Dad calling from Florida telling me he was on his way home and me looking at the truck on the hoist with no suspension in it and with less than 100 km on the odometer and thinking I better get it back together before he gets home and sees what he co-signed for! “This truck was my everyday vehicle for many years. I also used it to tow my show cars and race cars to many events all over North America, including the recent Show ‘n’ Shine in Merrickville on July 13. It has now gone through three makeovers. After the last one, we now drive it only in the summer. “This truck has been a very big part of my life - through my dating years, through my marriage, and now to drive my daughter to her graduation in. Because of all the memories and what it has taught me, I will never sell it.” I’m always looking for more stories. Submitted photo Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O.

Entertainment – Guardians of the Galaxy is the movie I’ve been looking forward to the most this summer. This is the one film I could not miss, and it exceeded all my expectations. Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) a.k.a. Starlord is an interstellar outlaw and thief. Abducted by aliens as a boy, and then raised by those same aliens Peter makes his way through the galaxy one shady job at time. Jobs like taking a mysterious orb from a long dead civilization. Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is the adopted daughter of the mad titan Thanos. She’s a warrior, and an assassin. Thanos has made Gamora serve the Kree terrorist Ronan (Lee Pace) as he seeks to destroy his enemies. Ronan wants the orb so Gamora is sent after Quill. Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel) are bounty hunters. The genetically engineered Rocket is the trigger-happy brains, and the semi-sentient plant Groot is the muscle. When it becomes known that Quill has the orb a bounty is put on his head. All Rocket and Groot want is their money. Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista)

Community – The third annual Lanark Highlands Classic Cars on the banks of the Clyde rolled into the village on Sunday, Aug. 3 and the ball park was filled with oldies but goodies under sunny skies and humid conditions. Organizer Ross Trimble told media the event was even more well attended than last year’s 165 entrants. The came in all shapes and sizes, and the threat of thunder showers held off. Pictured are some of the scenes from the day, including a 1958 Chev Cameo, (top left) owned by Malcolm Ledson of Perth and some favourite muscle cars seen througout the grounds.

Take a walk on the wild side in one of Ontario’s provincial parks Lifestyle – Solitude, discovery, challenge and landscapes of unparalleled beauty all await backcountry campers in Ontario’s provincial parks. “Back-country camping offers a great chance to get in touch with nature, disconnect from hectic day-to-day life and unwind for a while. Remember to take only pictures, leave only footprints to preserve the pristine beauty of our provincial parks for everyone to enjoy,” stated Bill Mauro, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. If you want to ditch car camping and try backcountry – also known as wilderness – camping, here are some tips to get you started: Pick a destination: First-timers should stick to areas that are easy to get to. For example, Frontenac Provincial Park offers backcountry sites that are accessible by paddle or foot; leave portaging until you’re more experienced. Plan ahead: Be sure to book a campsite in advance and bring a map and a compass. GPS devices are great, but coverage can be spotty. What to wear: Lightweight, waterresistant or fast-drying clothing that’s geared for the time of year is best. And don’t forget bug spray and sunscreen. What to eat: Bring enough food, but don’t overdo it. Keep it as light as possible and pack it in reusable containers. Bring water or treat water from nearby lakes or rivers before you drink it. What to pack: In addition to food
