Province rejects funding application for County Rd. 43 project again Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Too many municipalities, not enough funds. Brian Carré, North Grenville CAO, along with Andy Brown, United Counties of Leeds and Grenville CAO, were briefed by ministry representatives regarding the rejection of applications for funding for the County Road 43 project. The project is to make County Road 43, from Somerville Road to the Highway 416 overpass, a four-lane highway. The joint application, from
the municipality and counties, to the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) has been rejected multiple times. “When we receive these letters stating we were not successful, they stress fiscal score,” said Carré. He explained he and Brown participated in a de-briefing on July 15 pertaining to the expression of interest (EOI) for funding. “We met with representatives from the Ministry of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure, Municipal Affairs and Housing and Agriculture,

Food and Rural Affairs,” said Carré. He explained the EOI was assessed on three components, including technical and fiscal scores. “The technical score for the project was 100 per cent,” said Carré. “It met requirements for federal eligibility. The fiscal score is ultimately what lost us the funding.” He explained the OCIF received 700 applications. He said there were four indicators considered by the application review team, including medium household income. He explained each indicator was scored out of 10, with a maximum of 40 points. “The maximum medium household income for this program is $110,000,” said Carré. “The county’s medium household income is $71,000 and scored five. The municipality’s medium household income is $82,000 and scored four.” He explained the other three indicators for the program also resulted in low scores for the counties and municipality. “The key message left with us, after going through how this application is assessed, is other municipalities have a greater need,” said Carré.

Ottawa Senators hope to hype fans with pre-season tour Second annual to visit 12 locations including Carleton Place, Perth and Kemptville Ceci said he was amazed by the attendance at last year’s tour stops. “You don’t really realize how many fans there are outside in the smaller communities until you get there and you see a huge line of people,” he said.

Getting ready Senators players are starting to filter into the city to start training early, said Ceci. “It just shows that everyone is committed to the season and we are all ready to get back at it,” he said. With a good end to last season, Ceci said he and the team hope to keep that energy rolling. Apart from bringing up his own defensive numbers, he said his hopes for this season include getting back in the playoffs. “We were kind of counted out around Christmastime and from there we went on a bit of a tear, so it was really cool for us to win that many games and make it into the playoffs,” he said.

The Ottawa Senators are hitting the road for their pre-season Hometown Tour, taking place from Aug. 18 to 27 at Canadian Tire locations from Kingston to Gatineau, including stops in Carleton Place, Perth and Kemptville. Below, Senators defencemen Patrick Wiercioch, left, and Cody Ceci meet with some young fans at last year’s Hometown Tour. Ceci will be taking part in the event again this year where fans can win free tickets, get autographs and test their skills.

tors players to see fans from far and wide, but also see a bit more of the communities their fans call home, said Robinson. “Fans travel a ways to come see us a lot of times, and now it’s our turn to go to them and get our players to see what eastern Ontario and western Quebec is all about because sometimes they don’t necessarily get out past Ottawa,” he said.

The Ottawa Senators are bringing players and some pre-season excitement to their fans with the second annual Hometown Tour, starting Aug. 18. The tour sees 12 days of free events at Canadian Tire locations in 12 different communities in eastern Ontario and western Quebec featuring two Senators players interacting with fans and signing autographs. Senators defenceman Cody Ceci took part in some of the tour stops last year and will be again this year. “Meeting all the fans was a great time and to see all the support was really cool for us,” said Ceci. The events aim to get fans to show their Sens pride to win tickets and display their skills with some interactive games. Those include ball hockey matches, mini stick games on mini inflatable rinks, a shot speed and accuracy test and more, said the team’s director of fan and community development, Aaron Robinson. “We have lots of opportunities to interact with the fans,” he said. “(The Hometown Tour) is a chance for us to get out and thank fans and get ready for the season.” Robinson said he expects there to be more prizes available this year, with fans able to sign up to win free tickets to Senators games, as well as ticket giveaways for people who show up in their best Sens gear to show their love for the team. But the main attraction is the players, who will sign autographs at each event. The Senators will reveal which players will be at which tour stop the Monday before the tour. Hometown Tour stops will take place at the following locations: • Aug. 18 - Alexandria at 400 Main St. South from 1:30 to 5 p.m. - Gloucester in Ottawa at 2010 Ogilvie Rd. from 4 to 7:30 p.m. • Aug. 19 - Gatineau at 700 Maloney Blvd. West from 2 to 5:30 p.m. - Hull at 355 Blvd. de la Carrière from 4 to 7:30 p.m. • Aug. 20 - Cornwall at 201-9th St. East from 2 to 5:30 p.m. - Casselman at 95 Lafleche Blvd. from 4 to 7:30 p.m. • Aug. 25 - Renfrew at 1050 O’Brien Rd. from 2 to 5:30 p.m. - Carleton Place at 485 McNeely Ave. from 4 to 7:30 p.m. • Aug. 26 - Kingston at 59 Bath Rd. from 1:30 to 5 p.m. - Perth at 45 Dufferin St. from 4 to 7:30 p.m. • Aug. 27 - Nepean at 1820 Merivale Rd. from

County paramedic service to retrofit ambulance for multi-casualty incidents Ashley Kulp
akulp@perfprint.ca
A surplus ambulance could give the Lanark County Paramedic Service (LCPS) an extra tool in helping to save lives. During a report to Lanark County’s corporate services committee Aug. 12, LCPS deputy chief Sean Teed explained the paramedic service currently has a surplus ambulance that can’t be used any longer due to its mileage and age. While surplus vehicles are traditionally passed along to county municipalities, all passed on it so he is proposing retrofitting it for training purposes and for use in multi-casualty incidents (MCI). County councillors agreed
and endorsed a motion which is expected to be approved at an upcoming meeting of county council. “We could bring more training to our staff instead of bringing staff to training. Having a training vehicle in our environment that (staff) are used to working out of, they will have a much more valued experience and provide better care for patients,” Teed stated. The ambulance could be used as a simulator to test medics on protocols including IV initiation. “By having this vehicle set up to deliver this type of training, the vehicle can be driven to the various bases around the county so that the paramedics on duty can be tested in a timelier manner
as opposed to setting up scheduled training days,” the report to the committee stated. It wouldn’t only allow paramedics to be trained in a more effective manner, but would also “allow the service to increase our ongoing training without increasing our training costs.” LCPS doesn’t currently have the resources to respond to MCIs, as each ambulance is set up to transport and treat one patient. “We don’t have the ability to meet any needs other than day-to-day calls,” Teed continued. “If there was a bus accident or multi-vehicle incident, we only have enough equipment in our ambulances to care for a critical patient. This (MCI) would allow us to carry
extra equipment.” According to the report, there have been a several bus accidents in Lanark County in the past few years which raises awareness “that in the event in which multiple injuries the service should have at its disposal a capability to better deal with these incidents.” County Coun. and Perth deputy mayor Ed McPherson, who is also the LCPS chief, said Renfrew recently purchased an MCI vehicle for $100,000 and this option is a more cost-effective measure for the county. Conversion costs aren’t expected to be more than $5,000, to cover additional insurance and equipment. “In my 30 years of experience, I don’t
personally feel that an ambulance service needs a $100,000 like that sitting in the bay...this truck will be dual purpose and is going to allow us to be much better than we are now,” McPherson noted. County Coun. Brian Stewart (Lanark Highlands mayor) questioned where the LCPS would store the vehicle. “We have a couple options to consider and have been working closely with a mechanic to make sure the vehicle is still sound and it is so one of the recommendations is to having it stored at that garage until we find a permanent house for it,” Teed answered. “This is an excellent idea and worth it (the money),” said Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith deputy reeve).

Harper’s economic record may prove to be a double-edged sword Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Stephen Harper is hoping that his economic record will prove to be his trump card heading into the Oct. 19 federal election. The opposition is hoping that, with the looming threat of Canada entering a recession, it will prove to be his Achilles’ heel. “We know that the Harper Conservatives are going to play to their economic credentials,” said Jim Stanford, an economist with Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union, during a speech at a union-sponsored conference for young workers at Toronto’s Ryerson University on Saturday, Aug. 8. “(It is a) claim we will hear over and over again. They like to brag about their economic credentials.” While he disagreed with the strength of the Conservatives’ economic record, he did concede that “economic issues will be the number one issue in this election.” An author and regular panelist on CBC Television’s flagship newscast, “The National,” Stanford said that there would likely be three major talking points from Conservative headquarters about the Harper government’s handling of the economy: • Balanced budgets that were “on time and as promised.” • The creation of 1.3 million

and is now more than $616 billion in debt – although Stanford conceded that “Canada’s debt is actually low in relation to other countries and our past debt loads.” Interestingly, Aaron Wudrick, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, based in Ottawa, agrees that the debt is all too high – “in our point of view, he (Harper) racked up too much (debt),” but hastened to add that a lot of the debt was added during the recession in the form of stimulus spending – paid for by deficit spending. “What do they suggest that this government should have done instead?” asked Wudrick, during a telephone interview on Monday, Aug. 17. “There was a worldwide economic recession.” If left up to the likes of Unifor, Wudrick said that Canada would have ended up with a “bigger deficit,” than the one created by then finance minister Jim Flaherty. Scott Reid, the Conservative candidate in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, and an MP in the area since 2000, pointed out that the deficits his government has run since 2009 were actually the creation of the opposition parties, the Liberals in particular. In 2008, the bottom had fallen out of the market, with the sub-prime mortgage issue making things worse. “They (the Liberals and NDP) were going to kick us out no matter what the election said,” said Reid of the late 2008 See RECORD page 6

RECORD From page 5
constitutional crisis which nearly brought down the Harper government. “The Liberals imposed this (deficit spending) on us. It’s in the historical record.” In essence, by his recollection, the Liberals were telling the Harper Conservatives, “we will drive you out of office if you fail to meet these targets,” on stimulus. “He (Jim Flaherty) did that spending as he was required to do by the opposition parties.” Stanford did charge, however, that there have been about $15 billion a year in cumulative spending cuts since the Conservatives won a majority government in 2011, and that there are 50,000 fewer public servants than there were in 2011, with cuts in areas like: • Transport safety • Employment Insurance processing • Food safety • Veterans • Research/statistics • Coast Guard stations It is on points such as this, however, that Conservative MP Scott Reid disagrees with Stanford’s assessment. “We are trying to deliver services for less,” said Reid, during a telephone interview on Tuesday, Aug. 18. “We are a small government party.” There has also been reports of ministries in Ottawa under-spending their budgets. “You’re not fiscally prudent (by underspending),” charged Stanford. “You lied to parliament. You’re reckless. That’s not just misleading, it’s antidemocratic.” At this assessment by Stanford, Reid was baffled. “This is being presented as a problem?” Reid said, nearly laughing. “Oh wow. If you spent without parliamentary authority, that is not permissible… If you come in under budget, that’s not a problem.” Reid, while underlining that he has not seen Stanford’s presentation, or the video that was made at Ryerson, to be posted soon online, or even read a transcript of Stanford’s dialogue, stated that it appeared that Unifor was most interested in protecting the jobs of its members in the abovementioned areas. (Indeed, later that same morning at the union conference, Unifor’s national president, Jerry Dias, spoke of his

initiatives that have not been popular with his federation. “We are not thrilled about income splitting,” said Wudrick. “We would have preferred an income tax cut.” His federation does not endorse any one party, and he even likes some of the Liberals’ family tax proposals. The New Democrat pledge of a business tax cut was also welcome news for him. “All three of the parties are talking about tax relief,” he said. But while the Conservatives have offered tax relief, he would have preferred that it had been more “simple and broad.” The tax relief they did get from Harper instead, was done in “the most complicated way.” Stanford and a fellow economist at Unifor crunched the numbers and did a study of every Canadian prime minister who served more than a year in office since 1945 (thereby excluding Joe Clark, John Turner and Kim Campbell.) By their estimates, Harper ranks right at the bottom, economically, of any postwar prime minister, when compared to King, St. Laurent, Diefenbaker, Pearson, Trudeau, Mulroney, Chretien and Martin. “Youth employment declined under Harper,” said Stanford. The household debt rate was also the worst under Harper, along with the worst record on the average annual economic growth, real exports, and per capita GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth. His study also gave Harper the worst average annual growth rate for employment, and job quality index, for all the years studied. But Wudrick dismissed what he saw as Stanford cherry-picking statistics. “They (Unifor) don’t like this government. (They use) metrics that don’t look good for this government.” Wudrick accused Unifor of “picking the statistics that best suit (their) argument.” Reid vehemently disagreed with Stanford’s assertion about Harper being the worst post-war prime minister, economically. “I think anybody who has got any inkling of history will know that is not so,” said Reid. He pointed to Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s economic record, especially from the late ‘70s to the early ‘80s, a time beset by double-digit prime interest rates, double-digit inflation, sluggish to bad economic growth, and high deficits. “I look at that (Trudeau’s economic

record) and I say that’s a worse record.” The Harper government recently passed balanced-budget legislation, but Wudrick is not impressed. “Why should we believe them, because they ran several of them (deficits),” said Wudrick. As for some of the criteria used by Stanford, Wudrick said it was an example of Unifor “blaming governments for things out of their control,” like per household debt levels. “If we blame him (Harper) for personal finance decisions, we could blame him for bad weather too,” said Wudrick. Stanford cautioned that the statistics he looked at did not take into account the year 2015 – if he had, he predicted, the numbers would have been worse, thanks in part to the drop in oil prices. “It appears that Canada’s economy has slipped back into recession,” said Stanford. “(But) we won’t know that for sure,” until more data becomes available. Whether Canada is in a recession or not, Wudrick would rather not see a return to stimulus spending. “We are one of the few organizations that opposed that stimulus package in 2009,” said Wudrick. The economy began to rebound “earlier than the money hit the ground. The stimulus was the mistake.” Wudrick countered Stanford by saying that this latest economic slump was caused by the drop in oil prices and the economic slowdown in the United States. As for Reid, he said he was “absolutely” proud to run as a Conservative party on Harper’s economic record, “more than in any previous election.” Compared to other G7 countries, Reid states that Canada is doing quite well. “By those metrics, we have a very impressive record,” said Reid. “We are having an argument over technicalities,” over the budget. The United States is in “much, much worse,” shape than Canada. “We have got ourselves back,” said Reid. “We will follow this seriously.” (Note: Newsroom employees at Metroland Media East are members of the Unifor union.

STEO releases busing information for upcoming school year Starting this month, information on busing for the upcoming school year will be just a click or a phone call away, for parents and students in eastern Ontario. Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) is the transportation consortium for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), and the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). General manager and chief administrative officer, Ron Cotnam, stated, “STEO has developed a web site where parents and students can access important information including pickup locations and the name of the contractor serving their area.” Parents and students can visit the STEO website at www.steo.ca. Parents
A big thank you goes out to Race the Runway and the Smiths Falls Montague Airport Museum Board for choosing Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County as their charity of choice once again and raising $1,000 to support mentoring of local children. The annual Race the Runway event was held at the airport Aug. 15. Above, back row from left: Big Sister Mel Ruga, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County resource development manager Beth Sinclair, Israel and Jackson.

The impact of a decision
T
he big news in Carleton Place this week is council’s decision to reject a proposal for Manitoulin Chocolate Works to take over the former St. James Anglican Church parish hall, Elliott Hall, to convert it into a chocolate shop and café. This may have been the first major decision this council has had to make since being sworn-in last December and while some believe it was the right one, others disagree. Both cases have merit. On one hand, it could be a quaint addition to the area as the proposed plan of the McKeen family (owners of Manitoulin Chocolate Works) is to retain the integrity of the historic Elliott Hall. On the other hand, the concerns of neighbours about increased traffic, noise and parking issues are valid points. While the hall isn’t technically a part of the downtown core, with an auto shop and two restaurants located just down the street, a case could be made that it may be an enhancement to tourism in the town. The chocolate shop could have been a drawing card for people to come to Carleton Place, who in turn, might stay downtown to do some shopping afterwards.
With the siege of big box stores taking over many of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville’s communities, it’s vital for municipalities to focus on their downtown cores to ensure they remain healthy and vibrant. Taking a drive through the downtowns of places like Smiths Falls and Kemptville, several for lease or for sale signs dot the streets. The allure of the big box stores with their competitive pricing and extended hours is a real threat. Smaller local businesses now have to rely on dedicated customer service and experience as a way to attract and retain customers. With the book closed on the chocolate shop in Carleton Place, the McKeen family is now looking elsewhere to expand their business and who knows what could make its way into the former hall. One suggestion, a seniors’ housing complex, could see the hall taken down and a larger building put up, one that would fit in even less with the feel of the neighbourhood. Additional parking and traffic would go along with it. With this decision, council has set the tone for its term and it remains to be seen if it’s one they will end up regretting.
Plates were piled high for every meal at Mary’s table Father said it was a poor farmer indeed who couldn’t feed his family. Although we never had the treats our cousins had in Ottawa, such as regular trips to the picture shows, or rides on streetcars where the fare for a child was a whole nickel, or store-bought fruit, we knew they did enjoy the ample meals we had on the farm during those Depression years. I knew this, because whenever they made the long trip out to Northcote, they never left without the back seat of the car being filled with vegetables, eggs and usually a couple freshly plucked chickens. And when our visitors came, always for a meal of course, they ate like it was to be their last meal on earth! Always they had seconds, which in itself

wasn’t that odd to us. I never knew Father or my brothers to leave the table without first loading their plates for another helping. Our big meal was always at noon hour. When Mother came to the farm from New York, one of the first things she learned was what meals were served when. She said she made the mistake of calling the noon meal lunch. Father was quick to point out the order of mealtime: breakfast in the morning, dinner at noon, supper at night,
and a lunch was what we had before we went to bed! No one enjoyed his meals more than Father. Especially dinner. Mother would have cooked all morning and the table would be laden with enough food, I thought, to feed half of Renfrew County. Soup was never served at noon. It was a supper meal. But on the table, in heaping bowls, always there would be steaming bowls of mashed and creamed potatoes. Father never considered his noon meal much without his potatoes. A roast of beef or pork would be sliced at the stove and it would fill the platter. Of course, that meant a jug of gravy, too. Poured over the entire plate and the remnants sopped up with a thick slice of freshly baked bread.

This time of year, Mother would have cooked up at least two and sometimes three vegetables right out of the garden. Yellow beans, beets and fresh carrots were always available, and other than cole slaw, we never had tossed salad like Aunt
Vanetta made when we visited Lyon Street in Ottawa. Instead, a large dinner plate held freshly picked sliced tomatoes (on which Mother sprinkled sugar when she put them on her own plate) cucumbers and a bowl of radishes swimming in cold wa-
ter amongst chips of ice from the ice house. Father didn’t consider it a proper meal if he didn’t have at least one big piece of pie, or a wedge of chocolate cake to top See MARY page 9

off the meal. And all the time, Mother would be constantly refilling Father’s tea cup with steaming green tea. Although supper was considered a lighter meal, it was indeed hearty, often starting off with a big bowl of Mother’s homemade soup, cold sliced roast, fried potatoes, homemade pickles, and always a fruit nappy of homemade preserves. After consuming such enormous meals, it was astonishing to me how Father still had room for what he called ‘a bit of lunch’ before crawling into bed. Always there was the cup or two of green tea and a
LETTER From page 8
autocratic government’s disastrous over-reliance upon and funnelling of whopping subsidies for environmentally and economically ruinous fossil fuel extraction from the Alberta oil sands, topped off with the spending of $30 million dollars more of our money to try to convince us that everything is just fine. We all know it is not and any so-called “majority mandate” to enact such ruinous policies came from only 39 per cent of the voters in 2011. Now as greenhouse gases continue to pollute our air and wreak havoc with climate globally, the official advice is basically to suck it all up and “adapt” as if this was an inevitable situation, and at the same time one barely worth mentioning. We are left with
sandwich of roast meat leftover from the day’s meals. I often would watch Father delve into those enormous meals and wonder why he wasn’t as fat as old Herman who could barely walk. But Father was rail-thin, with energy to burn, and hardly ever sick a day in his life on the farm. He said he owed his good health to hard work and good food. Father wasn’t one to hand out praise lightly. He rarely, if ever, said to Mother, “that was good,” but often, after tucking away an enormous meal, he would tilt his kitchen chair back on its two hind legs, and with what would pass for a grin, he would say “you have to wonder
what the poor people are eating today.” And I would think: we are supposed to be poor people... didn’t I hear it often enough when I wanted something as simple as new hair ribbons? And yet, I would look around that old pine table, and the platters and bowls full of food, all raised from our own hands, and I would think, “yes, indeed, we are richer than most.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

$ new meaning to the old saying “everybody talks about the weather but no-one does anything about it.” So realistically, until we elect a new government that is capable of actually dealing with such issues effectively instead of, in my opinion, pandering to corporate greed and adherence to our primitive winner-takes-all electoral system, I fear that we can only expect more of the same and worse. It will take a lot of concerted effort to at least slow down the current rate of climate change. But what could be more worthwhile than trying to ensure that our grandchildren have any kind of future at all or that all of our votes actually count? There are in fact do-able climate solutions but we will not be hearing about them from our Dear Leader, or about the urgent need
for real climate action from our own, in my opinion, severely muzzled government scientists. Worth careful consideration though, is that BC’s revenue neutral carbon tax is working well to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and generate cash mostly allocated towards tax reduction. A policy that works, it’s win-win and could be instituted nationally. A federal revenue neutral carbon fee and dividend policy, as advocated by Citizens’ Climate Lobby will help Canada reach its greenhouse gas emissions reduction target without negatively affecting the poor. We have a chance to turn this ship around on election day though, indeed, we can’t afford not to.

Saskatchewan Roughriders an institution in Regina Museum which focuses primarily on the natural history of the province. But when you go to Regina it is probable that the first thing you will see is people wearing Saskatchewan Roughriders paraphernalia. With the possible exception of the Blue Jays’ current run toward the American League East Division pennant – Torontonians are decked out in the team colours these days – one of the most prominent features of daily life in Regina is people dressed in Roughriders jerseys, t-shirts, jackets, caps and carrying items of all sorts featuring the club logo. Regina and Saskatchewan residents’ love affair with the city’s only professional sports franchise is truly amazing to witness first-hand. Virtually everybody and everything has some connection to the football team. The Green Mile Albert Street, which to me is Regina’s answer to Carling Avenue in Ottawa, is nicknamed ‘The Green Mile’ in honour of the team. At one end of the thoroughfare, not far from the city centre, is Mosaic Stadium the Roughriders’ long standing and much loved home field. Corporate sponsorship is vital in pro sports and the stadium is named for the Mosaic Company which operates two major potash mines in Saskatchewan. With a view to the history of the facility the official name is Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field. Long-time CFL fans will relate to the name ‘Taylor Field’ which is a mainstay in the league. That will change in 2017 when a brand new Mosaic Stadium (the firm has bought the naming rights for 20 years) opens in the city. On November 24, 2013 Roughriders fans, 45,000 strong, erupted from Mosaic Stadium and poured onto the Green Mile to celebrate their heroes Grey Cup win over the Hamilton TigerCats. Roughies demolished Hamilton 45-23 to become the third consecutive league team to claim the CFL championship trophy on their own turf. It was Riders’ fourth Grey Cup victory, but the first at historic

Taylor Field. “It was insane in there,” a Regina fan told the Metro daily newspaper. “There were maybe two Tiger-Cats fans.” I’m not surprised. Virtually everyone from Saskatchewan is a die-hard Roughriders’ supporter. This season the Redblacks aren’t the only early surprise in the CFL. Theirs of course is a
positive story. On the other side of the fence, unfortunately, are the Green Riders from Regina. The pride and joy of Saskatchewan lost their seven games in a row to start the campaign. The totally unexpected losing skid and the fact their beloved team is now almost certain to miss the playoffs – a rare occurrence in recent times – has cast a pall over the city. Our daughter Heather says the team’s misfortune is THE topic of conversation everywhere they go. People simply can’t believe the turn of events which has brought the football team to this unwelcome point in its
long history. There are two good reasons why Riders are winless after seven games (they enjoyed a bye week last week). Both relate to the loss of quarterbacks through injury. Starting signal caller Darian Durant, one of the league’s best, ruptured an Achilles tendon in the team’s season opener at Mosaic Stadium June 27. He is ruled out until at least the start of the 2016 campaign. Achilles injuries take a long time to heal. With Durant out veteran pivot Kevin Glenn, who had expected to be purely the back-up this season, was thrust into the spotlight.
He played well enough but the team struggled for consistency on offence (and defence), dropping three more games to fall to 0-4. Then to make matters even worse, during a 10-point home field defeat at the hands of Hamilton on July 26, Glenn sustained a torn pectoral muscle which will keep him out of the line-up for at least six games. At the time of his injury Glenn led the league in passing with nearly 1,500 yards gained in passing. He had also tossed six touchdowns. See COLUMN page 12

The Canadian Football League season is now well underway and the Ottawa Redblacks are on the list of early season surprises in the CFL. Ottawa has already doubled their win total from last year’s inaugural season. In fact heading into their game in Calgary last Saturday night they were in a threeway tie for first place in the CFL East Division standings. The defending Grey Cup champions bombed Ottawa in that contest so Redblacks will have to regroup. Personally I will never like the Ottawa club’s nickname. It’s one of the most bizarre handles in professional sports! Why not the Blueblacks? That would at least have reflected the impact of football on the bodies of the participants. I would much have preferred the longstanding nickname Rough Riders had been retained in the nation’s capital. However I totally understand why the folks in Regina, where the name Roughriders also has a lengthy history, turned thumbs down on any suggestion that the nine-team CFL have two teams with the same name. Admittedly it doesn’t make sense on close examination. This missive isn’t about the Redblacks. Instead I am going to focus on the Roughriders, the ones in green and white who reside in Saskatchewan’s windswept capital city. Since our daughter and her family moved to Regina two years ago we have gained a lot of first-hand knowledge about the city during several enjoyable visits. And while people in the east tend to thumb their nose at places on the Prairies (many people have told me they wouldn’t live in Regina on a bet) we quite like the community. Regina is very self-contained and has everything anyone would want in a city. Except hills of course! Being the seat of government for the province of Saskatchewan it is also features some impressive government buildings including the Legislative Assembly which overlooks picturesque Wascana Lake. The province’s main museums (there are seven in total) are located in Regina including the Royal Saskatchewan

Feeling the heat Enter rookie Brett Smith who immediately assumed the hot seat. What followed were road losses in Edmonton and Toronto as Roughriders remained the league’s only winless club after Week 7. Head coach Corey Chamblin is feeling the heat with many fans and pundits expecting his dismissal after seven straight defeats. Chamblin, who coached the team to their 2013 Grey Cup triumph, is signed through 2017. Personally, I don’t see why the blame is being assigned to the coach in this case? To me it’s a poor cop out considering Roughriders’ situation. In addition five of their seven losses have been by a combined total of just 16 points. They lost their two main offensive weapons to injury and yet they have been in virtually every game right until the end. The truth is you can’t win in professional football without a capable quarterback. That usually means someone with experience too. If you don’t believe that ask Buffalo Bills’ fans. The
proof, as they say, is in the pudding! Obviously I hope that for the sake of their faithful fans the Roughriders rebound in the second half of the schedule. But it seems a long shot given their poor record and the strong play of so many other CFL clubs including Redblacks – there’s that awful name again! In closing here is a story I think underlines the Green Riders’ hold on Regina. When we were in Regina for granddaughter Lily’s first birthday in March, Heather and Indy held a party inviting his colleagues and their new Saskatchewan friends over to the house for some cake and camaraderie. One couple at the party were relatively new arrivals in the city. He is an engineer who works with Indy, she is a pharmacist. He is a sports fans and I mentioned the Roughriders and their popularity in Regina. “Yeah, tell me about it,” he replied, rolling his eyes. “The first weekend we were here we wanted to look around downtown. We parked near the stadium (Mosaic) and walked over to the Cornwall Centre (a
major downtown shopping centre). “When we returned there was a parking ticket on our car. “I saw the guy (parking control officer) just down the street so I approached him and complained,” our new friend outlined. They were well within the prescribed period for daytime parking. “Hey, why were we ticketed. The signs say we can park here.” The officer led him to the nearest sign and pointed to a small, hard to read, line under the larger print outlining the parking hours. In brackets the sign noted, “Except on Saskatchewan Roughriders game days.” The team was playing a home game the same afternoon. “That’s not fair. We’re new here and knew nothing about this. Can’t you give us a break this time,” Indy’s colleague asked. The parking officer flashed a wry smile and replied, “Sir, you’re living in Regina now!” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Survey says more Ontarians are positive about local real estate More Ontarians now have a favourable opinion of the real estate market in their local city or town, according to the Ontario Home Ownership Index, a bi-annual research study commissioned by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) and conducted by Ipsos Reid. Six out of 10 Ontarians (60 per cent) described the current residential real estate market in their city or town as ‘favourable,’ up three points from this time last year. When asked to compare their local real estate markets to one year ago, once again Ontarians showed a positive shift in sentiment: • 41 per cent of Ontarians surveyed say they view the residential resale market in their own neighbourhood as stronger than it was a year ago (34 per cent said so last year) • 39 per cent say they view the real estate market in their city or town as stronger than it was a year ago (35 per cent last year) “What we’ve noticed with this wave of research, is that on the whole, Ontarians’ perceptions of the provincial economy and real estate market have remained stable year-over-year,” says Patricia Verge, president, OREA. “It’s when we asked Ontarians about their perceptions of their local markets – their neighbourhood or city/town – that we see a more significant change in sentiment. Naturally, Ontarians are more in tune with what their local markets are doing. This overall increase in positive sentiment therefore, is encouraging.” When asked about their city’s future real estate market, once again Ontarians appear more optimistic than a year ago: • 40 per cent of Ontarians said that their city/town’s real estate market will
be stronger in the next year, compared to 34 per cent this time last year Looking ahead to the next ten years, 49 per cent said their city/town’s real estate market will be stronger, compared to 46 per cent this time last year “According to the research, Ontarians expect growth in local real estate markets,” says Verge. “GTA residents, for example exhibited a considerable upswing in sentiment where local real estate markets are concerned.” These are some of the findings of an Ipsos Reid poll conducted between May 20 and 24, 2015, on behalf of the Ontario Real Estate Association. For this survey, a sample of 1,000 Ontarians from Ipsos’ Canadian online panel was interviewed online. Weighting was then employed to balance demographics to ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the adult population according to Census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within +/-3.5 percentage points of what the results would be had all adults in Ontario been surveyed. The Ontario Home Ownership Index is designed to reflect Ontarians’ overall views of the residential real estate market in Ontario, and incorporates measures such as Ontarians’ perceptions of whether the market in their neighbourhood, city, and Ontario, respectively, have improved or worsened in the last year and looking ahead into the future, whether home ownership is important to them and whether it is a good investment in the long-term. The first wave of the index, conducted in the fall 2013, was set to a baseline of 100 points. Source: OREA
The trend measure of housing starts in Canada was 185,586 units in July compared to 184,035 in June, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “Housing starts in Canada have been trending higher over the past three months, with gains in multiple starts offsetting declines in single starts,” said Bob Dugan, CMHC’s chief economist. “The decline in single starts is in line with CMHC’s expectations of buyers shifting demand away from higher priced new single-detached homes towards lower-priced alternatives. Gains in multiple starts are largely due to higher rental apartment starts, a substantial portion of which are seniors’ residences.” CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and
obtain a more complete picture of the state of Canada’s housing market. In some situations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading, as they are largely driven by the multi-unit segment of the market which can vary significantly from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 193,032 units in July, down from 202,338 units in June. The SAAR of urban starts decreased by 5.9 per cent in July to 176,998 units. Multi-unit urban starts decreased by 8.2 per cent to 119,478 units in July and the single-detached urban starts segment decreased slightly, by 0.8 per cent to 57,520 units. In July, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts decreased in Ontario, the Prairies, Atlantic Canada and Québec, while it increased in British Columbia. Rural starts were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 16,034 units. Source: CMHC.

Credit cards – the right way Manage Your Money
Obtaining a credit card today is simpler than ever; with banks, credit unions, retail stores and even grocery stores offering attractive credit card options. When used the right way, credit cards can be an effective way to build and improve your credit score, making it easier to obtain financing for other larger purchases, such as buying your first home. On the contrary, they can also be your financial downfall if you don’t use wisely. If you can manage spending and use your credit card responsibly, there can be a number of advantages; just be sure to follow these simple suggestions: • Select a card that meets your needs based on your income and spending habits. • Charge only what you can pay back at the end of the month. If you are unable to completely pay off your card balance each month, always pay more than the minimum amount owing and make payments as soon as you can to reduce daily interest costs. • Make sure you understand the features and benefits of your card. Some cards eliminate the need for separate purchase or travel protection, such as trip cancellation and interruption insurance or extended warranty protection. • Many credit cards offer some kind of rewards program, giving you back about one percent of every dollar spent in the form of cash, points, travel reward miles, merchandise or even investments. Although it’s not recommended to use credit cards just to earn rewards, when you use a rewards card wisely, you get features and value you don’t get with cash or debit cards. Despite the advantages of a credit card,

take caution. Using a credit card may not be right for you if: • You can’t pay your credit card balance in full and on time. If this tends to happen to you, stick with cash to avoid additional fees. • You tend to spend more than you can afford or make impulse purchases If your monthly balance is growing, analyze your expenses and cash flow and create a plan to begin to pay down the balance. Consider paying cash or debit to limit your spending. • You apply for more cards than you really need. Each time you apply for a credit card, reporting agencies record that action; applying for too much credit can damage your credit rating as it can appear that you are relying too heavily on credit. • You make cash advances on your cards. Remember, you are charged interest from the day you take the advance until the day you pay it off, making it even more costly. When used correctly, credit cards can be useful financial tools. But it’s important to remember that there are many other tools and strategies that can help you achieve all your financial objectives.

It combines the cheeky wit of The Golden Girls with the heart and humour of Steel Magnolias. And Perth audiences are loving the result! Ivan Menchell’s The Cemetery Club is a comedy about three recently-widowed girlfriends living in the same Jewish community in Queens, New York. Each month they gather at the graves of their departed husbands, then head off to a deli to talk about life, love, and the old and new men in their lives. Veteran stage director Joan Sonnenburg has assembled the perfect cast for the perfect comedy, with seasoned actors Janet Rice, Jennifer Pfitzer, Barbara Kobolak, Grace Main and Grey Masson ably bringing the laughs, and the tears, to life. The Cemetery Club finishes its sevenperformance run this coming weekend with shows Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and a Sunday matinee, Aug. 23 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at The Book Nook, Shadowfax, and at the door on show nights. Visit studiotheatreperth.com for details. Above, from left: veteran actors Barbara Kobolak, Janet Rice and Jenny Pfitzer in a scene from the production. Photo courtesy Bruce Raby
Messages help build Wall of Hope erything.” CIBC encourages Canadians to register and fundraise for the CIBC Run for the Cure and share their photos and stories on social media using #CIBCRunfortheCure. In addition to supporting the Wall of Hope, presented by CIBC in branches, Canadians can also share messages on a digital Wall of Hope accessible on the CIBC Community website. “Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is grateful to CIBC, their employees and clients across the country for their passion and commitment to our vision of a future without breast cancer,” says Jane Parsons, executive director, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. “Funds raised through the CIBC Run for the Cure enable CBCF to continue to fund groundbreaking breast cancer research, education and advocacy initiatives that support those affected by breast cancer and their loved ones.” The 15,000-member Team CIBC is led by nine regional run champions across Canada passionate about creating a future without breast cancer. “I have 5 children and this event has helped them understand the importance of getting involved to do something positive in the world,” says Alison Phillips, the eastern Ontario regional run champion. “I would love it if they could grow up in a world where breast cancer no longer exists.” The Wall of Hope decals and bracelets are limited in quantities and available at CIBC branches across the country while supplies last.

This year alone, some 25,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with breast cancer but thanks to advances in earlier detection, diagnosis and treatment, more women of all ages are living longer after a breast cancer diagnosis. As the presenting sponsor of the Wall of Hope, CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) invites Canadians to visit any of its 1,100 branches across the country to help build a dedicated “Wall of Hope” filled with inspirational messages to those affected by breast cancer, ahead of the 2015 Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, Oct. 4. For a suggested donation of $2, anyone can add an inspirational message or honour a loved one on the in-branch Wall of Hope. Those making donations of $5 or more will receive two Hope bracelets as a token of appreciation: One to wear and one to share with someone special. All proceeds support Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF). “Over the nearly 20 years of CIBC’s commitment to this cause, we’ve seen how the power of hope can make a difference to the women living with breast cancer and to their loved ones,” says Christina Kramer, CIBC executive vice president, and its executive run sponsor.” “CIBC invites everyone who has been touched by breast cancer to come out for this year’s Run and visit one of our branches to share your stories and be inspired by the messages of others,” adds Kramer. “For the one in nine women who develop breast cancer in her lifetime, your participation means ev-

dents who, we hope is going to be chosen soon. He arrived in the summer of last year with his long hair so matted he needed a full shave. He was a cute boy for a while with his naked body and some long hair left around his face. Meanwhile his black fur has fully grown back. It’s shiny and beautiful and needs regular grooming. It’s time for this handsome dignified young man to find his forever home. He’s about six-years-old and gets along with some other cats too.

dog walker showed up on a day I don’t normally see him. He told me I smelled nice and that was good, because something special was indeed going to happen. It was the day we were expecting to meet a perspective adopter. So we waited and waited and oddly, nothing happened. Somebody was supposed to come to meet me, but for some reason, they never came. Sadly, I had been stood up. So my dog walker and I went for a long walk. He told me: “There’ll be another time.” And that’s good…because I’m learning lots of tricks and commands. I fetch, give, sit, heel and stay very well and when you give me a treat I take it with a very soft mouth. I may lick your fingers, but you’ve absolutely no fear of me eating them! My dog walker is currently teaching me how to ‘pray’…and I’ve almost got it. Praying is useful. What I’m praying for is that someday a forever home comes along. A home where I am loved for the gentle girl I am. A home where people respect me and love me and walk me and slowly introduce me to a life that every dog should have – and I’ve never had. I’m praying for someone to call my name with love in their voice, someone who teaches me more tricks, someone who sees me as a willing learner…who loves to show what a clever girl I am. I

Yanina Woywitka takes home the gold medal from North American Junior and Young Rider Championships Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Yanina Woywitka sat on a horse before she learned to walk. So it should come as no surprise the 15-year-old Merrickville resident took home gold in the dressage team event from the North American Junior and Young Rider Championships. “It’s kind of like a dance on a horse,” said Woywitka. “You make your horse do different movements to rhythm.” She explained dressage is the basic foundation of all riding. “It’s the highest expression of horse training,” said Woywitka. The stallion she rode, 19-year-old Rheirattack, who was bred on Rideauwood Farm where Woywitka grew up, has been trained to the highest level – Grand Prix Dressage. “He’s a sweetheart,” said Woywitka. “Most stallions are hard to handle, but you can take him anywhere.” Rheirattack was even short listed for the Olympics at one point. Woywitka competed in the junior division of the NAJYRC, which took place July 14 to 19

then you have an off day. It’s all about communication with the horse.” She said dressage is a lot of work, but there are great rewards to the sport. “When you go into the ring, it’s what you’ve been working on for so long. It shows you the progress.” She said growing up at Rideauwood Farm has provided her various riding opportunities. “It broadens your riding ability,” she said. “You can mould yourself to different horses.” Her mother, Susanne DuttRoth, is a level three dressage coach. “She brought me up to where I am so far,” said Woywitka. “I hope to keep going.” Woywitka, a Grade 11 student at North Grenville District High School in Kemptville, also enjoys other sports, such as volleyball and badminton. “I really enjoy travelling,” said Woywitka. “I’ve been to Germany, Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Quebec. All my travelling is horse related.” She said she really enjoys the sport of dressage and loves the horses she rides. “They are my friends outside of school.”

this competition,” said Woywitka. “There were about 40 riders in the junior division. It was like nothing I’ve ever been to before. The stadium is huge.” She said going to the NAJYRC really opened her eyes to the level of the sport. “I started competing in 2011,” said Woywitka. “I started out on a little pony. Then I moved on to a bigger pony. Last year was the first year I tried junior competitions.” She said dressage is part of who she is. “Before I even learned to walk, my parents sat me on a little pony,” she said. “I wasn’t riding it, but I sat and played. They had a baby saddle to put me in.” She explained she wasn’t serious about the sport until a couple of years ago. “Last year, I really got into it,” and now she rides every day, on multiple horses. “I haven’t explored jumping or anything yet, but I want to,” said Woywitka. “And keep doing dressage.” She explained dressage can be a frustrating sport because you really have to work with your horse. “If your horse has an off day,

County Rd. 43 deemed ‘failed road,’ needs to expand “We are left to look at raising revenues locally.” He explained the application scored lower than 50 per cent of all applications received. He said odds are further applications for the program will meet with the same fate moving forward. “The municipality also applied for funding through the OCIF program for the Rideau/Sanders rehabilitation project, which was not successful,” said Carré. “The message I have to bring to council is there are municipalities with a greater need than North Grenville.” “Where do we go from here?” asked Coun. Frank Onasanya. “Well, we certainly had some advice from those involved in assessing the application,” said Carré. “The application
criteria used, which is decided upon by the province, may not fit in all situations. We did submit concerns with the criteria.” He explained the province may take these concerns into consideration when other funding programs come forward in the future. “The deadline for resubmission is September,” said Carré. “Our success depends on the needs of other municipalities.” He said the cost of the project is not something the municipality or county could entertain taking on independent of provincial or federal funding. “We, as staff, would not have known the criteria if we didn’t request a debriefing,” said Carré. He explained that, ironically, correspondence was received by the municipality asking to support a resolution
passed by another municipality to ask for transparency in the criteria for funding applications. “It’s an opportunity to send a message,” said Carré. “There is a need for change in how these programs are assessed.” “If we renamed ourselves Toronto or Ottawa, we might get some funds,” said Mayor David Gordon. “It seems the province, when you’re talking about $1 or $2 million, it seems unimportant. They think a subway is more important than a roadway. It’s my opinion that the province doesn’t know where eastern Ontario is.” OCIF background According to the Ontario Government website, the province plans to invest more than $130 billion in public infrastructure over the next 10 years. This would support more than 110,000
jobs on average each year in construction and related industries, according to the site. The Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund and the Small Communities Fund both help support infrastructure projects in small Ontario communities. The fund provides $100 million per year to help small, rural and northern communities build and repair roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure. The money distributed to municipalities by the OCIF is split equally into 2 streams: • $50 million is distributed among municipalities that have been identified through a formula developed by the Government of Ontario, and, • $50 million is reserved for municipalities that successfully apply for funding.
Man killed on Highway 2 Grenville County Ontario Provincial Police investigated a fatal collision on Highway 2 in Augusta Township last Wednesday. Shortly after 11 p.m. on Aug. 12, police were dispatched to a single pedestrian walking on Highway 2 in the area of Irace Road in Augusta Township. A second call was made to police reporting two pedestrians walking on Highway 2 near Sharpe’s Lane. The two pedestrians were located by police. During this time a third call was received that a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle in the vicinity of Irace Road. Upon arrival, the lone pedestrian was laying in the middle of the road being tended by paramedics. The male was transported to hospital where he was later pronounced de-

KYC Book Fair promises to be ‘biggest and best’ yet jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Savoy by emailing kevinsavoy@ actioncoach.com or call the KYC at (613)-258-5212. “Everyone who volunteers gets one free book per hour they put in,” said Heald. On Sunday, book prices will be reduced to $1. The Ferguson Forest Centre donates the space, and time forklifting skids of books, to the fair every year. “We are so thankful to Ed Patchell (FFC COO) and his team for all their help,” said Heald. This is the 12th year for the book fair in Kemptville and the second time proceeds will benefit the KYC. “Last year, we raised almost $15,000,” said Heald. “Those funds cover all our mortgage costs for the year. When people drop off books for the sale, they are donating that money towards our mortgage.” She explained all book fair expenses are being covered by generous sponsors. “They are paying for all the signage and advertising,” said Heald. She explained for the second year in a row, this will be a travelling book fair. Following the sale in Kemptville, the books will be packed up and transported to Smiths Falls by Total Move Management, where another book fair will be held in support of their local youth centre. From there,
the books will continue to travel around the region, until being returned to the FFC. “Throughout its journey last year, the book fair raised $10,000,” said Heald. “Some books were sold and others were collected, so we winded up getting back about the same amount of books we sent off.” She said it was nice to see one of the people who helped move the thousands of books with TMM last year was a former KYC youth. “It’s nice to see things come full circle like that,” said Heald. The check-out sponsor for the sale is Country Walk by Urbandale. “We sold sponsorships for different genres,” said Heald. “For instance, Styves Photos sponsored the art and photography section, Dr. Rahimkhani Dental Clinic sponsored the health and fitness section, Workshop Dance Studio sponsored the mind, body and soul section, Twice the Fun Games is sponsoring the games and puzzles section and Sigma Computers sponsored the technology section.” The KYC is still looking for sponsors for certain genres, the wine and cheese party and the BBQ’s, which will run in conjunction with the sale. “It’s going to be the biggest and best book fair yet,” said Heald.

The O’Farrell Financial Book Fair, in support of the Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC), promises to be the ‘biggest and best’ yet. “How cool is the fit between a youth centre and a book fair?” said Robin Heald, KYC executive director. “We are all about promoting youth literacy and the book fair ties in perfectly.” The sale kicks off at 9 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 28, and runs till 8 p.m., then carries on through Saturday and Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. More than 40,000 books of all genres will be available to pick through and delight in, all for the low price of $2 apiece. Children’s and teens’ books will ring in at 25 cents each, made possible through sponsorships from Grenville Mutual Insurance. “That’s a great gift to the community,” said Heald. The sale features more than just thousands and thousands of books; there will be DVDs, CDs, games and jewelry. “The jewelry is leftover from the accessory sale we had at the KYC and will be used as a teaser for next winter’s accessory sale,” said Heald. O’Farrell Financial Services
was recently named the title sponsor of the event. “The partners and staff of O’Farrell Financial Services are involved in many different community initiatives. The Kemptville Youth Centre is one of those initiatives that we feel passionate about. Today’s youth needs to be given every opportunity to thrive because they are the future of our community. We love that the KYC encourages an attitude and behavior of service from the youth by having them give back to the community, just as the community gives to them. We believe this is one of the cornerstones of creating and maintaining a strong and prosperous community,” said Dermid O’Farrell. “We are very thankful,” said Heald. “They do a lot for us; sponsoring just about every event we have. We are so grateful.” On Aug. 27, there will be a wine and cheese party, to thank all the volunteers and sponsors of the event. It will also be open to the public (as space permits), at a cost of $10 each, with proceeds benefitting the KYC. Attendees will be given a preview of the sale and the opportunity to pre-shop while there. The fair is still in need of volunteers, for sorting, setting up and to help out during and after the event.

MM books in Kemptville offers unique experience for literary lovers Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Walking into MM Books in downtown Kemptville is like entering the interior of your own mind. Stacks of books, piled high, teetering ever so precariously, welcome you as you walk through the door and all around are towering shelves displaying centuries of knowledge. The smell alone is enough to make any book lover swoon. “It’s meant to be interesting,” Mervyn Berridge Sills, owner. “I’ve been in too many book stores that look like extensions of libraries; a tomb like atmosphere. I have Paddington Bear sharing space with Darth Vader. I have cartoons I consider the height of wit.” The proprietor of the store has as much character as his wares. “I spent 30 years in computers,” said Berridge Sills. “I got into them when they were exciting, back in the ’60s. By 2000, it wasn’t fun anymore. The mortgage was paid. I had a bit of money in the bank. I asked my wife if I could try running a book store and she said, ‘Go for it.’” He explained the cost of renting a retail space in Ottawa, where he lived at the time, was astronomical. “I came out to the (Highway) 43 and decided Kemptville was the ideal town, and this building was the perfect spot for a store,” said Berridge Sills.
Planning for the book store began in 2000, hence the MM (millennium). After opening MM Books in 2001, he and his wife moved to Kemptville the following year. “The fact my name begins with an M and my wife’s name is Monica is just coincidence,” said Berridge Sills. He explained opening a book store stemmed from the simple reasoning, “I like books and I like the people who like books.” He said books are condensed lives. “They contain somebody’s 30 years of experience, condensed into five hours of reading,” said Berridge Sills. He has been an avid reader since the age of three, stumping his primary school teachers with his literary skills early on. He is originally from Britain and came to Canada at the age of 26. “Above all else, (I love) the classlessness,” said Berridge Sills. “You have no idea how corrosive a class system can be until you lived in one.” He hasn’t been back to Britain since 1988. “It felt like a foreign country,” said Berridge Sills. “This is home.” His favorite literary topic; military history, a subject he studied in university. “Ask my customers and they’ll say this is Terry Pratchett central,” said Berridge Sills. He explained Pratchett, an English
author, is the mastermind behind Discworld, a comic fantasy book series. “He died back in March and there was a full page obit in the Economist,” said Berridge Sills. “That speaks to his merit.” He said his favorite book by Pratchett is ‘Night Watch.’ “Until J.K. Rowling’s final Harry Potter book, he had been the greatest selling English author,” said Berridge Sills. He explained Discworld is exactly what it sounds like. “Imagine a world exactly like a pizza, with oceans and cheese, citizens and pepperoni,” said Berridge Sills. “It sounds frightfully silly, but when you read it, it becomes delightful. Everyone needs some silly in their life.” For a long time, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen was one of his best sellers. He sold one copy every month for over a decade. “It got to be a joke,” said Berridge Sills. “Going out and buying the same book over and over.” He said he loves great opening lines in novels and recited one of his favorites, from ‘Saramouche’ by Rafael Sabatini. “He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad,” said Berridge Sills. His favorite Shakespearean quote is, ‘I can call spirits from the vasty deep.’ Response; ‘Why? So can I, or so can any man; But will they come when you do

He said one of his great loves is poetry. “The Ruba’Iyat of Omar Khayyam,” said Berridge Sills. “I prefer the translation by Edward Fitzgerald.” He explained if you count the two variations of the Bible separately, the Ruba’Iyat is the single largest source of
quotations in the Oxford Book of Quotation. “It’s an absolutely delightful celebration of life,” said Berridge Sills. One of his favorite authors is Martin Middlebrook, a British military historian. “He was a farmer in the ’60s and he grew up being told about the first day on the Somme,” said Berridge Sills.

CHEO fundraiser at Lock 17 on Aug. 29 Lock 17 in Burritts Rapids is pleased to present the first annual fundraising event for The Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and Team Adelaide on Saturday August 29th. Team Adelaide is a fundraising team made up of family and friends who have seen first hand how much CHEO can change lives. They have been walking to raise funds for five years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and conducted their first solo venture on August 1, 2015. To date, they have raised $4,288 and are 86 per cent of the way to their goal of $5,000. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help them get there. They will be at it again with the help of Lock 17 on Saturday, August 29 from 8 to 11 p.m. Lock 17 has booked Ottawa area duo â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Jonesy & The Byrdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to entertain and delight patrons with their acoustic versions of popular cover songs, rock & roll style. Cover is free, but will be collecting donations if
patrons wish to do so â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all proceeds will go to support CHEO and Team Adelaide. Lock 17 will donate a portion of select meals to CHEO, and match patronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donations (up to $500). Last year there were 6,692 admissions to CHEO, and 72,428 emergency department visits. CHEO currently has 167 inpatient beds, 20 in the NICU, 10 in the ICU and 73,800 sq.ft of research space. The hospital employs a team of 672 nurses, 256 physicians, and 500 volunteers. CHEO is very fortunate to have the support of a loving and caring community. The money raised goes to help fund research, buy equipment, train staff and add to the pediatric nature of the hospital. Show your support while enjoying a great meal and listening to some awesome live music. The show runs from 8 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11p.m. and reservations are recommended. Call 613.258.7166 to secure your spot or visit www. lock17.ca for more information.

“It was the biggest single day loss of the British Army. One day, he realized that some of the veterans of Somme were still alive. So he decided to hunt them down and hear their stories for himself. He wrote a book called ‘The First Day on the Somme.’” Middlebrook went on to write other historical accounts of war and become one of the most influential military historians in Britain. Another favorite writer of his is Nevil Shute. “He is a lovely writer,” said Berridge Sills. “I like ‘Trustee from the Toolroom’ the best.

FoodGrains market promotes community spirit Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
The FoodGrains bank market at St. John’s United Church in Kemptville is all about community. “We’ve had a community garden for 11 years now,” said Barbara Rousseau, a member of the church. She explained the Fumerton family have provided the church with a large section of their property down by the creek, for growing vegetables every summer. “Perfect for watering, nice and flat,” said Rousseau. She said while the garden is not certified organic, the volunteers who tend the garden try not to use chemicals. “Church members, their friends and co-workers do the planting, watering, weeding and crop picking,” said Rousseau. “On Friday nights, Flo Fnukal and helpers do the produce cleaning and arranging. Saturday morning sees the Hammonds setting up the display and Dave Watson and Ann Campbell doing the selling and take down.” She explained the FoodGrains bank market is about promoting community spirit. “Any produce left over is up for sale on Sunday morning and then if there is still remaining, it is to go to House of Lazarus or Salvation Army,” she said. “Spoiled produce goes to Saunders (Country Critters Zoo).

wasted.” She explained people, including church members and their friends, have been asked and are kind enough to plant an extra row or two in their own gardens. “For example, Alf Campbell has 50 tomato plants, so he shares a lot of them with us,” said Rousseau. “We also have bakers, who make pies, jams, pickles, muffins. It varies from week to week.” She said there are many more who help out, including buyers, growers and

cookers. “Gertie Flay is a big time baker,” said Rousseau. She said aside from the cost of seeds, all is donated to the Canadian FoodGrains Bank. “They, in turn, use monies donated to buy food locally when there is an emergency, to pay for shipping costs, as indicated on their web site,” said Rousseau. She explained her husband, JeanJacques Rousseau, and Jim and Gwen Peaker were the dreamers behind the FoodGrains market. “They attended an information session by the FoodGrains Bank and realized while we didn’t have the resources of a large farming community (multiple acres to spare), we could do our little part,” said Rousseau. “The rest is history.” She said the Peakers were wellknown area farmers. So far this year, in three Saturdays, the market has raised just over $1,000. “Last year, we realized $3,100,” said Rousseau. St. John’s United Church is located at 400 Prescott St. in Kemptville. The market runs every Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. to about noon. If you would like to donate produce or baked goods to the market, drop by the church on Fridays around suppertime.

How can you learn to become a hypocrite? It’s easy. Take a course in Politics 101, then get elected to parliament. This will make it easy to postpone matters that demand instant attention. There’s no better example of hypocrisy than parliament’s move to delay implementation of the Supreme Court’s decision on Assisted Death until after the election. The Harper government has added insult to injury by stacking the consultation panel with those opposed to assisted death. It’s like Dr. Gifford-Jones putting the fox in charge of the hens, an inhumane despicable act for those crying out for help to end their suffering. In February, The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that assisted death should be an option for those grievously and irremediably ill, and who wished to end their suffering with the help of a physician. The justices gave the government a year to implement the law. It’s taken the government five months just to form the panel. And there’s no doubt opponents of assisted death will make the guidelines unwieldy and restrictive. The wisdom of The Supreme Court will end up being beheaded by boneheaded politicians. Past surveys have shown that the majority of Canadians fear a lingering painful death devoid of dignity. This entire issue boils down to personal choice for those who wish it. So far no political party has grasped the fact that supporting assisted dying could help them win an election. Dying with Dignity Canada (DWDC), says “We receive calls from people who are desperately ill, know it’s a matter of time before they die, and ask if there’s a legal way to end their life peacefully”. These people are suffering from multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, paralysis from a stroke or motor vehicle accident and other terminal illnesses. Studies from U.S states and other countries that allow assisted death show that relatively few with terminal illness eventually ask for it. Rather, it is comforting for them just to know it is available. It’s regrettable that only 12 percent of callers in the DWDC study said they had the support of their family doctor. Or that when assisted death was mentioned, the doctor did not listen and changed the subject. Today, the Criminal Code states that neither DWDC, nor this journalist, can advise people on how to end their lives. But it is heart breaking when callers ask how they can obtain drugs for this purpose and none are available without a physician’s prescription. What doctor is going to give one and go to jail? Other desperate people even ask how they can obtain the “exit bag” that’s placed over their head and connected to a helium tank. It’s hard to imagine such a terminal scene for one’s last minutes with family members. I’ve stressed for years that those wanting an assisted death should have the right to form their own committee. Mine would include my wife, children and my doctor who are aware of my wishes. I’d also be pleased to add a veterinarian who would treat me the same way he would ease the suffering of a beloved dog. This political hypocrisy could end by drowning politicians with mail. Years ago I delivered 40,000 letters to Ottawa which helped to legalize heroin for terminal cancer patients. Believe me, politicians fear adverse mail. If you agree with assisted death, send a one sentence letter (better than an e-mail, and postage free) to Stephen Harper, 24 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, demanding action on this legislation. Or send an e-mail to Stephen.harper@parl.gc.ca This column was sent to Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair but all I’ve received were the usual sitting-on-the fence replies. Those who oppose assisted death have every right to end their lives in whatever way they wish. But they do not have the right to impose their moral, religious or ethical views on others. The law is the law. I’d appreciate your opinion. If you wish to support Dying with Dignity, donations can be sent to 55 Eglinton Ave East, Suite 802, Toronto, Ontario M4P 1G8 or made online at www.dyingwithdignity.ca R0033400233_0820
OPINION
H
Precarious, but sweet
ere’s the weird thing about life. It ends. Sometimes, when you’re having a really bad day or feeling stressed out, just remember that. Within a few decades, nothing that bothers you right now will matter at all because you’re dead. Life is precious. After the age of 18, weeks begin to fly by. Yesterday, I was a high school student. Today, I am a mother of three with a career as a journalist and mortgage payments to make every week. You blink and years disappear. My theory is life speeds up the older you get. Where does time go? I am convinced an hour every day is robbed from me just from having to clean up after my kids and pets. Another hour is robbed by emailing. Another hour is used up driving. That’s three hours I spend every single day cleaning up, emailing and driving where I need to be. Wow. That’s a third of a book I could have read, an afternoon at the beach or park with my kids or a nap I could have taken. But that’s life; a long series of doing things you don’t want to, in order to put a roof over your head, food in your belly and stave off bill collectors. I realize I am painting a grim picture of life, but that’s not the point. I am trying to make it vividly clear that life is largely taken up by unpleasant tasks, causing your life to pass by at an increased rate of speed.

e sold our Belgian horse Misty last spring but we have been keeping up to date on all her activities. Her new owner, Roy Sherrer of Shermount Farms near Spencerville has trained her to pull. This is a true testament to the man’s ability as a horse trainer – and our lack of it. When we got Misty and her sister Ashley back in February of 2009, they were pretty much ‘green’ – and so were their new owners. They were accustomed to being led out of their barn every morning and back into the barn every evening by a rope attached to their halters. We tried this. It only worked if the horse actually felt like moving. I don’t know how many times I was late for work, and pulling with all my strength on the end of Misty’s lead, trying to make the big horse bend to my will. I would just hang there like a soap on a rope, until she finally decided to stroll out of the stable and into the barnyard, where she spent her day. Part of the problem is that Ashley was the leader, Misty the follower. When we lost Ashley to some mysterious fever or allergy in 2010, her sister was left
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION
Therefore, appreciation of the time spent doing the things you actually want to do and enjoy is paramount. Moments are the building blocks of memories. And memories are what make life worthwhile. Life is precious. You have to enjoy every second of it that you can, to the fullest extent, because you never know which moment will be your last. Being angry or sad is a waste of time. No one gets to dictate the context of your life except you. If you are unhappy with your life, then change it. Quit your job. Make new friends. Move to another town. Do whatever it takes to be happy. Don’t let bitter people bring you down. Remember, they have to live with themselves, which is a far worse fate than encountering them. Living in the moment is one of the hardest, most emotionally rewarding things you can do. Fear is a powerful deterrent. When opportunity knocks, knock back. They are few and far between. Life is for living, not squandering away in the daily grind. Whatever it is you love to do, make the time for it. Don’t just sit there hoping it will happen. Unlike mistakes, regrets are forever. Life will pass you by before you know it.

Stormy weather brings with it a special beauty of its own as swollen clouds sail across the evening sky.
Misty is a workhorse after all The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher
to figure things out on her own. Mostly she decided Donkey was her new leader. Chaos reigned. Donkey would help break the horse and sheep out of the barnyard so they could go eat apples on the front lawn and wander down the road to freak out the neighbours. I got him to follow me back to the barnyard with apples or sweetfeed in my hand, and the rest of the herd followed. Including Misty. And so this is how things were on the farm, for the next five years. When Roy bought our big horse from us, we had high hopes that he would be able to train her to do actual horsey things. Follow instructions. Pull a wagon, even. We expected it would take a while, but we had faith that wonderful things were in
her future. Sure enough, within the first few weeks we received photos and a video of Misty pulling a wagon. I could not believe that was my stubborn, skittish horse, pulling with all her might, next to another beautiful blonde Belgian. I got choked up with motherly pride. Roy said he put the harness and yoke on Misty, and she started a bit. She has never even had a saddle on her before. Well, maybe once. Her previous owner hitched her up to a wagon for a photo opportunity once. But never again. Hitched for the first time, Misty likely was confused and a bit scared. But as soon as she realized she was not alone in her situation – another (more confident and experienced) horse was right beside her - I imagine she was comforted, and then probably a little excited. The conversation probably went a little like this. “Hi. I’m Goldie. Who are you?” “I’m Misty. What’s goin’ on?” “We’re hitched. Have you never been hitched before? Oh great…” “Oh…hitched. Ok. I think I’ve seen this before. We pull, right?” “Yes, we pull. Just follow my lead
and when you feel me pull, you pull as hard as you can. You look strong. You’ll be fine.” Roy was surprised to hear Misty had never pulled before, because she was a natural. She stumbled a bit at first, unaccustomed to timing her steps to another horse. But, a born follower, she quickly caught on and began to pull her own weight, and then some. He taught her to pull the stone boat – a heavy float laden with cement blocks. When she was fully trained, he sold her to someone in Quebec. I’m trying not to think too much about that part, because it stresses me a bit to think she is no longer going to be close enough for me to visit. Not that I visited
her in the past – I thought it would upset me too much. We will see her again, however, if only one more time. I am very proud to announce that Misty and her teammate will be pulling at the 2015 International Plowing Match in Finch this Sept. 22-26. I’ll be the one in the floppy hat in the front row, cheering her on. Likely with a few proud tears in my eyes. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com Watch for “The Accidental Farmwife – Volume 1” coming to a bookstore near you in 2016.

Letter to the editor DEAR EDITOR:
The Equinelle Community Association thanks the Kemptville Advance for its Aug. 13 corrections to its earlier article about our June 20 presentation to the North Grenville Municipal Council. It is important to emphasize that we were not airing grievances. The purpose of our appearing before council was to outline items that the community association will be discussing with municipal
department heads. We are interested in understanding better what the municipality’s and the builder’s plans are for our community and in understanding their approach to the topics we will be discussing. We noted in the presentation that we had already met with Parks, Recreation and Culture and as a result have a better understanding of their plans and their timings; since June 20, we have also met with the builder. We have been getting good answers, and are certain that the process we have entered into will continue to yield positive results. Sincerely, Catherine Allan Member, Equinelle Community Association

Committee of the Whole/Council briefs Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
The following is a list of North Grenville council’s committee of the whole briefs from Aug. 10. Refund Health Retention Agreement Sheila Kehoe, treasurer, explained Great West Life, is the insurance provider for fulltime employees with the Municipality of North Grenville. She said they switched the municipal plan from a pure insurance policy to a more transparent agreement for the health, dental and drug portion of the employees benefit plan. The municipality was provided both the financial details comparing premiums to actual claims and the annual details of the various expenses for the administration of the contract. According to Kehoe, the financial results for the Refund Retention Agreement for the reporting period July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015. “For the health, dental and drug portion of our benefit plan, the total premiums were $244,255.67, while the claims totaled $157,805.15,” said Kehoe. “Great West Life then deducts from the surplus cost of the program the administration and commission portion of $35,865.86.” She explained the Claims Fluctuation Reserve is 15 per cent of the billed premium with Great West Life, which serves as a stabilization fund for the municipality. “In summary, the municipality, in the second year within the new agreement, will real-
GARDENER’S CORNER
Photographing Flowers In a previous life, before gardening became a passion and a career, I was a photographer. I still am. A buddy of mine from the early Ham Radio days and the photographer at our wedding was working at RCMP headquarters. He told me they were hiring and he thought I had a shot. At the time, I was working in a camera shop and had recently won a national photo contest with one of my pictures. The prize was a spanking new 35mm Pentax Spotmatic 1000 and three lenses. The winning photo had been taken with a $19.00 Kodak X-15 on Kodachrome. Best film ever! I was required to bring a portfolio of my work to the staffing interview. It didn’t hurt that I included the prize winning photo. I got the job. I was working with some of the most talented photographers in the country and their advice elevated my snapshots to a whole new level. So it’s time to pay it forward. To give you some tips about taking pictures of the beauty that surrounds us. Don’t use a cell phone to take serious pictures. They are far too wide angle and more often than not the lens cover is scratched by the constant in and out from your pocket or purse. They are blurry and out of focus. Invest in a good digital camera, preferably a SLR ( single lens reflex) and a few lenses of varying focal lengths. Look for something that has optical zoom, not digital. Digital zoom only degrades the image.
ize a refund of $51,928.88,” said Kehoe. “We are asking council to authorize the request to put the refund into the general revenues of the municipality.” “General revenues always scares me,” said Mayor David Gordon. “In my opinion, these funds should be allotted to a specific line item in the budget. General revenue sounds nebulous, like a black hole.” “Perhaps the treasurer and I could review the financial statements for July and come back to council with a particular line items to apply the funds to,” said CAO Brian Carré. “Is it possible for this money to be put into a reserve for next year?” said Coun. Jim Bertram. “As we’ve done in past years, we do have some budget variants,” said Kehoe. “We’ve already noted (in past meetings) that we’ve already exceeded our advertising budget. In the third quarter, we anticipate some adjustments. Those funds would act as a cushion for those variants.” “We have some budget items, if you look at the variants reports, we do have some budget line items that need to be adjusted,” said Carré. He noted council advised staff to advertise in both local papers, which was not accounted for in the 2015 budget. “We will need to adjust that line item,” said Carré. Public Sector Accounting Board compliant 2015 budget Kehoe explained provincial regulation al-
lows a municipality to exclude their estimated expense costs related to amortization. She said the regulation does, however, require the municipality to report on the impact of these excluded costs. The regulation, as stated in the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) compliant 2015 budget report presented to council, contains information regarding the estimated change in the accumulated surplus of the municipality to the end of the year, resulting from the exclusion of any of those expenses, and an analysis of the estimated impact of the exclusion of any of those expenses on the future tangible asset funding of the municipality or local board. “The 2015 municipal budget and the associated tax levy excluded the following expenses; the $2.5 million in annual amortization expenses since amortization is a non-cash expense and the estimated $1.4 million in solid waste landfill closure and post-closure costs,” said Kehoe. “In your opinion, as an expert in finance, is this process something that is done to give a more complete picture of our financial profile?” asked Bertram. “I am more versed in cash based budgets,” replied Kehoe. “The auditor did point out we were not compliant in doing this report. When you talk about the depreciation of assets, it’s confusing to the general public.” “The purpose behind the province adopting the PSAB accounting system ties in with the need for long-term financial and asset management plans,” said Carré.

There are many reasonably priced cameras that meet the criteria. Next is composition. Some have a natural eye, others not so much. Look for an image that leads your eye into the photograph and pick a focal point. Something you want to highlight. Emphasize the important. Never take photos in blinding sunlight. Whether it be people or flowers. The light is too harsh and will have people squinting or the flower’s colour blanched. Wait for a cloud to pass over or take pictures early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the light is more saturated. Exposure is controlled by two factors, shutter speed and aperture. Most cameras do it automatically. If you can override, bonus. For close ups of flowers you want a wide aperture. The flowers are in focus and the background is a soft wash. As you open the aperture (think of your eye’s iris), shutter speed increases. This will only help with blossoms blowing in the wind. Try to pick a background that is darker than the subject. Dark green leaves that are out of focus provide the perfect backdrop for the flower of your choosing. And don’t hesitate to use editing software. Crop, enhance and perfect. Retouching was an art in the darkroom. You can now do it with a mouse. With a little practice you will be a phabulous phlower photographer.

“With regards to the OMCA (Oxford Mills Community Association) Expression of Interest, I am assuming the report will come in the fall?” asked Tobin. “I plan on bringing the report to council next month,” said Guy. “Following the request from the OMCA to purchase Maplewood, council directed staff to look at all outlying buildings to determine whether they were surplus, not just Maplewood, so it’s a broader report,” said Carre.

Actor meets new challenges in festival’s Wait Until Dark production While actors take on a variety of roles in their careers, some of the most challenging involve making real something they have never experienced. In the case of the Classic Theatre Festival’s thriller Wait Until Dark (running until Aug. 30), Ottawa-born performer Alison Smyth conducted significant research in preparation for her role as the blind woman, Susy Hendrix, who must defend herself after criminals have invaded her home. It’s certainly paid off as both audiences and critics have responded warmly to Smyth’s portrayal. Indeed, one of Canada’s pre-eminent theatre critics, Jamie Portman of the Capital Critics Circle, enthused last week, “As for Alison Smyth’s portrayal of the blind Susy, it’s excellent – and we’re not just talking about believable body language here. As a character study, it seems entirely credible. This Susy may be prone to frustration and even anger – in one key confrontation with (nine-yearold) Gloria, she displays a short fuse – but there’s no despair or self-pity. Instead she’s driven by a formidable determination and resilience – and when the crunch comes, she has the intelligence and will to defend herself in every way possible.” That fierce determination and spark might describe Smyth herself, an energetic performer who began dressing up at the age of three because she, like many a performer, was entranced by the world of storytelling. Her parents put her into dancing and singing, playing piano and school choirs. Her first stage role was in Annie
at the Ottawa-based Company of Musical Theatre. After many appearances in the Kiwanis Music Festival, Smyth was accepted at the Glenn Gould School at Toronto’s Royal Conservatory. It looked like she was headed for a career in opera, but she left school after a successful audition for the hit musical Hairspray with Mirvish Productions. The following 11 years have seen her perform in many a high-profile musical and play, including Evil Dead: The Musical, Jersey Boys (for which she won a Broadwayworld.com nod as best featured female performer), Test Drive, Anne of Green Gables – The Musical (at the Charlottetown Festival), Hilda’s Yard, and Head À Tête. Wait Until Dark posed a unique challenge, and so the hard-working Smyth hit the books to study what it would be like to have lost her sight. “I looked into the nervous system damage that causes blindness in car accidents. Then I had an experience in a blind restaurant in Toronto called Noir. I ordered my meal and then when you go in, it’s just like they say, when all your sight’s gone, your hearing is amplified. I could hear people talking, the dishes, but I had a little freakout, wondering what would happen if there is an emergency and I can’t see where I’m going, so I had to leave the restaurant.” Determined, like her character, to keep trying, Smyth “went to the basement cellar in my apartment building, and when

and walking back to the door. I used to be scared of the dark but I’ve been embracing it because some people have to, especially people who are not born
with blindness.” Playwright Knott, who also penned last summer’s Dial M for Murder at the Classic Theatre Festival, was a rare individual for his time, who featured strong women who had to fight, literally, for their lives. For Smyth, the arc of Susy’s story is about self-empowerment, a concept close to her heart and an event in which she played a major role this year, G-Day for Girls. G-Day is a global phenomenon that pairs girls with “Champions” (parents/ guardians and others playing a meaningful role in supporting girls’ futures) as a means of helping young women transition from childhood into adolescence. Smyth sees this time period as a grey area that is not talked about as much as it should be, often resulting in unhappy times for girls who are struggling to develop a strong sense of self. Following Wait Until Dark, Smyth returns to her home in Toronto, where, in addition to her work as a yogini, director, and teacher, she will conduct a set of master classes with a company she co-founded, the Toronto Talent Intensive. In the meantime, she looks forward to continuing the emotional journey she travels eight times a week in Wait Until Dark, which runs until Aug. 30, Wednesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., with 8 p.m. shows Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

1937 Buick Roadmaster at Canadian Automotive Museum A 1937 Buick Roadmaster convertible phaeton is currently on display at the Canadian Automotive Museum located at 99 Simcoe St. S. in Oshawa. Displayed with the car is this information: “During the 1890s, David Dunbar Buick began experimenting with internal combustion engines. He had made a fortune in the plumbing business with the invention for permanently coating cast iron with enamel which allowed the production of ‘white’ bathtubs at lower cost, which is still in use today. Like Henry Ford, he started three successive companies to produce cars, only the third of which was successful and became the Buick Motor Company. William C. Durant gained control of the company and used it as a platform to build General Motors. “For 1937, Buick built four models: The Special Series 40, the Century Series 60, the Roadmaster Series 80, and the Limited Series 90. Our feature car was recently donated to the museum. It is believed only 27 of this model have survived worldwide.” Wondering if the car at the museum is the same 1937 Buick Roadmaster convertible phaeton I remember being owned years ago by Bob James of Whitby, Ontario, I contacted Alan Willison of Oshawa for help. Alan owns a very rare 1937 McLaughlin-Buick Roadmaster phaeton built in Oshawa and slated for restoration. He confirmed the
car at the museum was indeed owned by Bob James and gave me Bob’s phone number. I phoned Bob right away. He purchased the car around 1971 in Buffalo, N.Y. It was in primer and needed a lot of work. Over the years, he rounded up many rare NOS (new old stock) parts to aid in its restoration, including a brand new front fender. He found a new centre section for the grille in Hershey, PA. He also bought new tires and rims and had the grille and bumpers rechromed. During much of this time, the car was stored in Ron Fawcett’s barn north of Whitby. Bob sold the car around 2002 to Dan Bell of Oshawa, who restored it and later donated it to
the museum. During the restoration, Dan found a brand new rear fender for the car. A total of 1,155 of these cars with Buick’s 320 cubic inch straight eight engine were built in the U.S. and 115 in Oshawa. The car in the museum has Body #404. This car and more than 70 others await your viewing pleasure at the Canadian Automotive Museum at 99 Simcoe St. South in Oshawa. Phone 905-5761222 for information or visit their website at www.CanadianAutomotiveMuseum.com. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Submitted By: What a great party—I would like to thank my wonderful husband, Robert Lee, for hosting a 65th birthday party for me and a 74th birthday party for my brother Bill O’Meara. I want to thank my daughter Crystal Smith and my sisters Donna O’Meara and Leona Peters for all the planning, organization and preparation. Thank you to my son-in-law Michel Smith and nephew Bob MacMillan for preparing the pork and chicken. To everyone else who brought food, thank you, it was delicious! To my daughter-in-law Rebecca Champagne—thank you—the cakes were beautiful and gone in no time! To The Doherty Brothers we cannot thank you enough for playing for us even though you had a full weekend. Very much appreciated. To my brother Wayne O’Meara for the tractor and wagon ride—that in itself will be quite memorable to a number of people—so thank you! To all our family, relatives, friends and neighbours thank you so much for the gifts, cards and good wishes. The best gift was knowing you all took the time to come celebrate with us. We will never forget your kindness. Gail Lee and Bill O’Meara

BULLOCK, Steven Wayne – In memory of a dear son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, husband and father, who passed away August 22, 2012. Our lives go on without you; And nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartache, When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for all of us, Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. Those special years will not return, When we were all together. But with the love within our hearts, You will walk with us forever. Love and missing you always. Mom and Dad and family

WI history In 1897, Adelaide Hoodless addressed a gathering of 101 women at a town hall meeting in Stoney Creek, Ont. Since her youngest child died from drinking impure milk, she had been striving to improve common nutritional and sanitary practices. She proposed the formation of a new women’s group focused on educating women in better homemaking practices and ‘more scientific care of child.’ From this meeting came the Women’s Institute. Hoodless and Erland Lee, who helped facilitate the meeting, are recognized as the founders. Although growth was slow, by 1914, there were nearly 25,000 members in 843 branches. In 1919, the Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario and the Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada were formed. The WI soon expanded its interests to include law, finance and promoting social reform. Over the years, the WI has improved educational opportunities for women, raised money for and promoted community projects such as hospitals, libraries and schools and contributed to Canada’s war effort in both World Wars. The keeping of the Tweedsmuir History books, documenting local history, has also been a valuable undertaking.

The Bishop’s Mills Women’s Institute has cause to celebrate. For the past 30 years, the BMWI has been contributing to the community. They will be celebrating their 30th anniversary in grand style, with a Victorian Tea on Aug. 30, from 1 to 3 p.m., at the Bishop’s Mills Community Hall. “We get dressed up in period costumes,” said Sheryl McKim, BMWI president. “It’s a lot of fun.” The event is open to the public and tickets are $5 a piece. “There’ll be card tables with fancy table clothes,” said Linda Desroches, a lifetime member of the BMWI. “We try to make it look like the Victorian era. We’ll have Queen Victoria’s picture hung on the wall. Cucumber sandwiches, little sweets and tea.” The Women’s Institute is an excellent forum for social interaction and change. “We don’t do anything by the book,” said Desroches. “We just get together and have fun. If you’ve seen the movie Calendar Girls, that’s more like what our WI is.” All meetings are open to the public. “The WI is trying to change their motto to make it more open to younger women,” said McKim. “It’s still WI, but Women Involved.” Every year for the past five years, the group hosts a private function to raise funds for cancer. They also host a Christmas Concert every year, to raise funds for a specific organization. “Sometimes the money goes to the (Beth Donovan) Hospice,” said Desroches. “Sometimes the (Salvation Army) food bank and sometime the House of Lazarus.” The Women’s Institute also runs the bake table during the annual Bishop’s Mills Community Day. Over the years, the BMWI has donated to the Bishop’s Mills Community Association, local churches, 4H, Interval House, the Snowsuit Fund and the Kemptville District Hospital. The branch organized a detailed Tweedsmuir History (a WI tradition since the 1930’s) of the branch history, as well as documenting local history in the village. “The Tweedsmuir include a history of the local branch, earliest settlers, farms, local industries, social institutions and buildings, local personalities and war veterans,” explained Susan Jenkins, BMWI co-curator of the Tweedsmuir. The BMWI has monthly meetings, every second Thursday of the month, held in the evening at the Bishop’s Mills Community Hall. They also have guest speakers on occasion, covering various interesting subject matter, including an annual historical speaker in February. For more information on the BMWI, check out their Facebook page. If interested in joining the group, stop by for the Victorian Tea or any regular meeting. “We’re trying to increase member-
Adams. On charter night, in July, 1985, 20 women gathered to join the WI. Now the group is down to 11 members. Both the Kemptville and Oxford Mills branches have closed. The BMWI, along with the Roebuck branch, are the last two remaining WI’s in the Grenville zone.“We amalgamated with Leeds two years ago,” said McKim. “There’s only a handful of WI’s left.” During the first 10 years, the BMWI was instrumental in pushing for 911 civic numbers, supporting the implementation of midwifery service, paving of County Rd. 18 and 20 and environmental management. The following ten years saw support for completion of the four lane 416 Hwy., the fourway stop in Bishop’s Mills and formation of the neighborhood watch. The group has made many contributions to the community, such as supporting the Community Hall, holding a Christmas auction each year, running a popular scarecrow contest for several years and maintaining the Tweedsmuir History books. They have also lobbied for 911 service in Oxford-On-Rideau Township, worked with several waste management initiatives, donated money towards the construction of a new play structure in the village park, helped in bringing a four-way stop to the village and in setting up a Neighborhood Watch program in Bishop’s Mills.

Brooke Henderson showed the composure of a seasoned veteran Sunday to win the Cambia Portland Classic in Oregon, capturing her first LPGA title with an impressive 21-under par total of 267. The 17-year-old Smiths Falls native had an incredible 8-stroke victory over her closest pursuers – Pornanong Phatlum, Ha Na Jang and Candie Kung who tied at -13 in the second position. She joins Lydia Ko and Lexi Thompson as the only players to win on the LPGA Tour before their 18th birthday. Brooke was cool under pressure through Sunday’s final round sporting five birdies en route to a solid 3-under par 69. She tripped up on the short par-3 13th hole and turned in a bogey, but was stellar on the 17th, with a long putt from the fringe to go back to minus-22. Then the 18th started a little rough with a drive into the bunker on the par-4. A safe shot from the sand trap back into the fairway was all she needed to take a chip shot onto the green. She two-putted for the win. “I was just trying to play my game the whole way through,” she told the media after putting out on 18. “It’s unbelievable and I’m so excited. Everything was together, and even (Saturday) I was hitting the ball really well, and a couple shots that I didn’t hit perfect, I mean, I got lucky bounces and had birdie putts and was able to make them both times. Yeah, it was a great week, and I think my game has been at a great level all season, but this week — well, since Monday, really, it all came together, and I was able to go low.” She had what her father, Dave, called a “Welcome to Brookeville” moment, when she shot her 3-wood off the 17th tee. “It’s something that I wouldn’t have done on a regular day, but I figured just hit it straight down the fairway and get it on… ended up making a birdie which was even better,” she said. Brooke said she had a different mind set this time around. “All I can say is my attitude was just much different, and I demanded a lot more of myself than I did three or four months ago. Until now, Brooke has played LPGA tournaments as

Brook Henderson appears to be on her way with win. a non-member either through sponsors’ exemptions or Monday qualifiers. The Portland Open was no exception. On Monday, Aug. 10, she won the qualifying tournament with a 68 (-4) just to get into the field. She then opened with a 66 (-6) on Thursday, Aug. 13, and claimed the outright lead by the end of the second round on Friday. She never looked back. She earns US$195,000 as the Cambia Portland Classic champion, pushing her season earnings more than US$660,000. With this first win under her belt, Brooke could be granted her card by the LPGA for the remainder of the season, but she had not decided whether or not to petition the tour as of Tuesday. “The cheer on 17 and the cheer on 18 were something that I never really experienced before,” Brooke said, after being doused by water and faux champagne. “And it’s definitely something I’ll remember.” Brooke is the first Canadian winner since Lorie Kane and she commented on that. “…I think Canadian golf is really growing, and there’s a lot of great players coming up. But to get that and for Canadian fans and Canadian support that I’ve received over the last couple months and last couple years is unbelievable, so I’m happy to bring one home for Canada.” Both Brooke and her sister Brittany Henderson (who also participated at Portland) are now headed to the Canadian Women’s Open in Vancouver, BC, Aug. 17 to 23. It will be a bit of celebration for the young Canadian golfer and it “may be a fun car ride” as she and her family head to Vancouver. “For sure,” she said of the
celebratory time that awaits her in Canada. “It will be awesome to be back with all that Canadian support. That was my first LPGA tournament three years ago. It will be nice… lots of great memories.” Thanks to this tournament win, Brooke has secured her LPGA card for 2016. When asked if she was motivated when the commissioner told her no for petitioning for Q-school, she had this to say: “…I think honestly it was the best thing that could have happened to me. It made me work really hard and be really dedicated and really focused. It made me really realize what I really wanted in life and what I really desired, and I think it was the best thing that could have happened.”

It’s Kemptville 73’s hockey time Brian Wilson
Brian Wilson Photo
Action from the main camp with players trying to earn a roster spot. the league will operate under the current ODMHA Minor Hockey rules and discipline codes. Games will be hosted through showcases on Monday nights and Saturday’s to increase the player’s exposure to scouts for future opportunities in Junior, NCAA and OHL. This change was not done without controversy like many new concepts in hockey, as the OEMHL AAA appealed it all the way to Hockey Canada. However, the 3-year Pilot Project has been upheld and is expected to move forward as planned. HEO Minor Council overwhelmingly supports the concept with a 19-6 vote. Kemptville 73’s General Manager Terry Nichols is excited by the new league and that it now puts the responsibility on the teams to develop the players they drafted. Historically, the drafted players played on 10 to 12 different teams making it difficult to monitor their progress or have any input, now the majority of their young players will be on one team operated by the Club. The 73’s have hired Kemptville resident Terry Kehoe to be head coach for the team. Kehoe has an extensive history coaching with the Upper Canada Cyclones along with a stellar reputation in the hockey community. The players for the 73’s Midget team will come from their drafted players along with free
agents that were not protected by any other CCHL team. It is hoped that many area players who have not tried out for AAA in the past due to the travel, will now consider it, since all practices will be held at the North Grenville Municipal Center. The league regular season will begin on Labor Day Weekend and run all the way through the first week of March. This extended season is not typical of Minor Hockey, where many teams are often done in early February and only teams that go well into the playoffs are still going in March. It was decided the best way to develop players is to keep them playing and practicing, the focus will be on moving players to higher levels, not just wins and losses. If you are a midget aged player interested in participating in the tryouts for the Kemptville 73’s team you can get more information by visiting the team website www.kemptville73s.com or call Terry Nichols, 613-282-8310. Once again, if you are interested in being a billet, the 73’s still have a need. Being a billet parent can be a very rewarding experience, enriching both the families and players alike. As a billet, you have the opportunity to provide a stable and supportive environment to a blossoming student athlete.
Two arrested for possession of drugs The Ontario Provincial Police Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau - Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU), the OPP Community Drug Action Team Project Paradigm and members of the OPP Emergency Response team (ERT) executed a Controlled Drug and Substance Search Warrant at a residence in the Town of Kemptville. At 10:45 p.m. on Aug. 17, police entered 11 Blossom Road and seized a quantity of marijuana and currency. A 21-year-old man and 51-year-old woman were arrested and charged with possession of schedule 2 (marijuana)
for the purpose of trafficking. The accused individuals were released and are scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice of Ontario in Kemptville on October 17, 2015. Anyone with information on the above occurrence is asked to call Grenville County O.P.P. Communication Centre at 1-888-310-1122, the Kemptville Detachment at 613-258-3441 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-(TIPS) 8477.

First, the Kemptville 73’s Junior A team opens its training camp on Aug. 20 at the Municipal Complex. All the returning veterans, players acquired in the off season and players signed from the main camp in July as well as several invited players will hit the ice this week as they prepare for the upcoming season. The team started camp with as many as nine roster spots open. Many have been filled but there are still a few intense battles going on. The first exhibition game of the season will be held on Sunday, Aug. 23 at 6:30 p.m. in North Grenville. The opponents will be the Smiths Falls Bears. The next game will feature the Brockville Braves on Wednesday, Aug. 26 at 8:30 p.m. in Kemptville as well. The team will be on the ice daily inbetween games. A full schedule can be found online at www.kemptville73s.com. Second, there are big changes coming to Midget hockey in Eastern Ontario. Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO) has made the decision that Midget hockey at the AA and AAA levels will have only one division thereby combining Minor and Major in one group. At the AAA level, there will be 12 local teams each operated by a CCHL team including one by the Kemptville 73’s. They will all be playing in the new HEO Midget AAA league. This is the first collaboration between Junior and Minor hockey in the Ottawa area in the past 5 years, though discussions began in 2010 and continued in 2013. Both groups are coming together to create a development path with more opportunities for players aged 15, 16 and 17 of AAA caliber. In a collaborative effort, the players will benefit from a revised catchment area model, different then boundaries and zones, which will allow more players to play as close to home as possible reducing travel and cost for families.

Only three days remain to see A Little Princess at Smiths Falls’ Station Theatre A Little Princess is a new musical created by the talented team of William Brooke (book), Eric Rockwell (score) and Margaret Rose (lyrics). It’s the story of a young girl’s struggle between life’s harsh reality and the world of imagination. The play’s central theme focuses on the way hope and friendship can magically transform a life, even in desperate circumstances. Now in its second week of production, A Little Princess will play at the air-conditioned Station Theatre on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 21 and 22 at 7:30 p.m., and close with a matinee on Sunday, Aug. 23 at 2 p.m. “Princess” has been drawing audiences from Ottawa and elsewhere in the region and is popular with young and old. The Smiths Falls Community Theatre (SFCT) is privileged to be given the Canadian premiere rights to this production, adapted from the much-loved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Burnett is best known for her children’s books published just before and after the turn of the 19th century. The musical was originally produced by the Sacramento Theatre Company, Michael Lunn, producing director. For the SFCT’s production, director Lynda Daniluk faced the task of finding a large cast with rewarding roles for younger, upcoming players and veteran
actors alike. With the help of many family participants (take for example the contributions of vocal coach and pianist Rowena Pearl and her children Wilson, Owen and Rylee) she has recruited a troupe balanced between novice and experienced. She has also drawn on one of the largest and most skilled production crews. Authentic costuming, along with innovative staging and lighting effects were especially noteworthy. Juliet Alfaro plays the leading role of Sara Crewe, dubbed “The Little Princess” by her adoring father. Sara is a spunky, resilient and creative 12year-old who learns to adapt to a most difficult life in a strict boarding school. Alfaro nails the essence of her character, bringing a lovely contralto voice to her singing and a charming presence to her acting. This is Juliet’s acting debut, but she is no stranger to the arts. She is a grade 7 honour roll student at Kars On The Rideau Public School with a passion for drawing, writing, singing and playing the piano. Juliet was the recipient of the graduating Arts Award while at North Gower Marlborough Public School. Some of the smaller roles also hit a responsive chord with audiences, in particular the schoolgirls, Sara’s classmates, played by Brooklyn Johnston, Susannah Burtt, Shaela Lundy and Avery Burtt.

Heiress and Porthos in The Three Musketeers. Richard has appeared in a number of major roles recently, in a singing role in The Railway Children and an acting role in Love from a Stranger. Susan Parsons (Miss Minchin) appeared in Camelot in 2012 and Humbug in 2013. Among her other credits are: a music CD in 2014 (currently working on a second), finalist in Voice on the Rideau competition, Westport 2013 and 2014, and a gold medal for Grade 3 Speech Arts 2012 (Royal Conservatory). Garrett Pipher, as Ram Dass, provides a running commentary (complete with some of his home-grown Eastern philosophy) and most of the broadest laughs in the production. Garrett has been acting for eight years. His most recent memorable performances are as the zany Simple Simon in the SFCT’s pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk (2014) and SFDCI’s production of Times A Changin’ (2015). Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children/students (with ID), with special group rates also available. Call the Station Theatre at 613-283-0300 for details and to order by credit card.

Capital Fair
FREE GATE Admission
is the last big summer hurrah
For the past 40 years, the Capital (formerly Gloucester) Fair has welcomed spring to the National Capital Region, bringing fun and excitement along with it. Now in its second year as the 10 day late summer event at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, the Fair promises to have something for everyone with wild and crazy outdoor monster truck shows, western horse and barrel racing shows, Eastern Ontario’s largest midway, three days of senior’s bridge tournaments, a raucous demolition derby, free daily live entertainment, a comedic hypnotist, a daily dog stunt show, Armwrestling championships, an amateur BBQ competition, a Petting Zoo and a huge kids zone among lots of other attractions. It’s is a great way to get out and have one last summer celebration with the whole family. The Fair’s signature event, the Monster Trucks on a Mission show is not your average extreme action feature. These trucks take full advantage of the outdoor venue to reach speeds and heights and perform tricks that can’t be performed in any indoor arena. With a show on Friday, August 21st, Saturday, August 22nd and Sunday, August 23rd, there’s lots of opportunity to enjoy this spectacular event. Discount tickets are available on-line (capitalfair.ca) for a limited time and at the door for only $25.00. Special combo packages are available but only on-line. They offer all day midway rides and admission to the Monster Shows. There are also VIP packages for the best seats in the house, a pit pass and autograph session. Cars and trucks will be crashing all over the fair, as the Monster Truck Show is complimented by a return of our FREE Demolition Derby on Thursday night. See our derby cars smash and crash, all to the delight of the crowd. And it won’t just be the car’s strength that will be tested. On Sunday the Ontario Championship arm-wrestling competition will push competitors to the edge. All of that outdoor fun is sure to build up a healthy appetite and barbeque is
the name of the game at the Capital Fair at the D&S Southern Comfort B.B.Q. Restaurant “Smoked to the Bone” barbeque competition. The competition will pit amateur teams against each other for $1,000 in cash and prizes. Think your barbecue talents deserve glory? Why not try your hand? All you need is a BBQ. Chicken and ribs are provide with your admission. For animal enthusiasts, there are western horse barrel races on Friday and Saturday night and a full Gymkhana show on Sunday. The Kids Zone features the Bird of Prey show where families can meet eagles, owls and hawks up close and personal. See them soar overhead as the conservation team explains the habitat and challenges these species face. There’s also a petting zoo and pony rides. Also inside the Kids Tent is DooDoo, the world famous clown and his Dance Party. There’s also the Reptile Rainforest, the Kommunity Stage and the Travelin’ Farmer display where city folk can get in touch with their country cousins. Kids young and old can enjoy the World’s Finest Midway, which delivers all the best rides from summer´s past including the Cannonball, Music Express, Alien Abduction and Fireball. All-day ride passes are regular $36 or you can purchase in advance for $18. The Capital Fair also appreciates the community it thrives in, so they give back every year the day before the fair starts with the Hydro Ottawa Special Needs Day. This year we will host over 1,500 special needs children to a private party where legions of Hydro Ottawa volunteers help move children to and from World’s Finest Midway rides and then off to a hotdog and ice cream lunch in the Hydro Ottawa food tent. Entertainment, Karaoke and a Petting Zoo, courtesy of Monalea Petting Zoo, round out what is the best day of the year for many of these children.

The Rideau Ferry Regatta welcomed countless visitors Aug. 15-16 to the shores of the Big Rideau Lake. Can Am races were featured at this year’s event as it is the first time a qualifying race has taken place at the event since its resurrection several years ago. The event also had many child-friendly attractions including boat painting, petting zoo and mini-golf. Clockwise, from top left: Marie Simon comes towards the shore in her Keller Williams Realty canoe; Colton Jones spent some time giving affection to two beautiful kittens brought to the regatta by the West Winds Ranch; Tanis Cowan of YAK Youth Centre in Perth put on the first coat of orange paint on her organization’s six-hour canoe entry; boats racing on the water.

Automakers look to technology to solve driver problems While I’ve heard from plenty of senior vehicle owners who are becoming overwhelmed with the technology in their new vehicles and who wish things were a little simpler (especially in terms of the instrument panel), automakers are taking a very different view; looking to technology to solve some of the problems older drivers experience on a daily basis. One of the big drivers towards putting more collision mitigation and driver-assist technology in today’s vehicles is, of course, profit from increased market share. While we all think that car manufacturers design and engineer their products to have a youth-oriented appeal, auto execs know that catering to a mature consumer can make for a better bottom line. In the US, the market that drives the shape and form of our daily drivers, they are experiencing a real boom in the senior market. From 2003 to 2013 the number of licensed drivers over 65 has increased by 29 per cent. There are more than 3.5 million drivers over the age of 84 (a 43 per cent increase over the last decade). And these consumers aren’t satisfied with keeping older autos or buying secondhand. Drivers over 75 now buy new at a rate of six times the number of vehicles as those aged 18 to 24. In fact south of the border, drivers under the age of 20 have declined by three per cent.
While no carmaker wants to be seen as building a vehicle for the older generations, there’s no doubt that certain features such as cross-path detection, lane keeping assist, rear-view cameras, and automatic braking can be real assets to those with restricted physical mobility and slower reaction times. Tips of the week: If you’ve left your vehicle sitting idle for a few days or more, you may hear a few brake noises when moving it for the first time. Brake rotors are made of steel without any anti-corrosion treatment and will quickly develop a fine layer of rust when the vehicle is stationary. This doesn’t necessarily mean any repair or service work is required, just a few kilometres of gentle driving. When first taking off, avoid any hard or panicstop brake applications for the first few kilometres. Normal braking will wear off any surface rust from the rotors and the noise will quickly disappear. Hard stops may cause a vibration when braking that won’t usually cure itself and may lead to the need to replace the rotors. If you drive one of the newer generation diesel-powered trucks, you’re familiar with the need to replenish the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank. The fluid is injected into the exhaust system to reduce emissions. Most vehicles using this system have a 20 L capacity tank and one fill up will average about 4,000 km of driving
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
depending on speed and loads carried/towed. Buying fluid in carry-jugs usually means paying about $10 per gallon ($2.20/L). DEF is dispensed at most highway truck stops by bulk pumps similar to gas/diesel fuel units and is priced on average about half the cost of carry-jugs. So if one of your trips takes you by a commercial truck fueling station, it may help your trans-
portation budget to stop in and fill up. From Aug. 22-23 Auto Wonderland presents their 10th annual Swap Meet and Car & Motorcycle Show in Morrisburg, Ontario 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. On Sunday, Aug. 23 the Arnprior White Pine Festival Classic Car & Show rolls uptown on John Street in Arnprior. On the same day the Kinsmen Club of Cornwall presents Kinsmen in Motion in support of Big Brothers and Big Sisters with a car, bike and truck show open to all years. They will have live music, vendors and it will be held at Lamoureux Park in Cornwall. And to satisfy your hunger for both chrome and barbecue the Rotary Club of Perth invites all car clubs to the inaugural Perth Ribfest and Car Show in
Perth on Sunday, Aug. 23. There will be four rib specialty vendors, multiple food and non-food vendors, live music, a beer tent, and much more.

Defensive riding recommended as motorcycle deaths rise again So far this year 25 motorcycle fatalities have been recorded on OPPpatrolled roads and police are appealing to riders to use their defensive driving skills to keep themselves safe. One of the important things that riders learn when they take a motorcycle training course is to ‘drive as if you are invisible’, which addresses the fact that car drivers who are looking for bigger vehicles sometimes don’t notice motorcyclists in their path, especially at intersections. “I never saw him” is some-
thing heard all too often at the scene of a motorcycle crash. Defensive riding is the most important key to safe motorcycle driving; ride to expect the unexpected. Riders are reminded to be aware of other motorists at all times and be ready with a counter maneuver to avoid their mistakes. This year 22 operators and three passengers have died in motorcycle crashes. Fifteen of those deaths involved persons between the ages of 45-65 years of age. Four people died while on a motorcycle
in west region alone within the first week of August. The OPP is reminding all drivers to always have a watchful eye for motorcycles; the safety of motorcyclists is the responsibility of everyone. Motorcycle riders should be aware of where a motorist’s blind spots lie and spend as little time in them as possible. If you can see driver’s eyes in their mirrors, then they have the ability to see you too. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

New Jeep Renegade can’t be judged by its look Auto Know
Brian turner
everything you’d expect for a capable CUV plus power output of 180 hp and 175 lb/ft or torque, Jeep’s Selec-Terrain 4X4 system with four driver-choice modes, a fully dis-connectable rear axle, 2,000 lb towing capacity, configurable instrument cluster, remote keyless entry and a block heater just to hit the highlights. Submitted photo When you first approach a Renegade, its size deceives you. That high roof The 2015 Jeep Renegade combines style and performance with a line and Jeep traditional upright styling roomy interior and superb handling. hides a very roomy interior. Adults will find comfort and space in both front and rear seats and whereas most in this class have very little usable cargo space behind the rear seats, the Renegade can hold 524 L (18.5 cubic feet) and a whopping 1,438 L (50.8 cu-ft) with the seats folded down. The fold flat passenger front seat expands the length of items you can carry and the rear cargo floor is removable and reversible for even more configurations. On the road the Renegade’s handling and performance belies its short wheelbase and trail-rated ground clearance (eight-inches). The nine-speed automatic makes the most of the quick throttle response of the 2.4 L engine bringing it to highway merging speeds in a very quick and smooth fashion. Cornering in precise as the McPherson strut independent front and rear suspensions ENERGY $AVING$! minimize body roll and the strategically When it’s cool outside, open the windows and turn weighted chassis keeps the Renegade’s off the air. tires firmly planted. While it may seem that aerodynamics were the last thing in the designers’ minds, this CUV has a very quiet ride with surface that seems oblivious to the effects of cross and head winds. Switching through the driver-selectable 4X4 modes (auto, snow, sand, and 2015 PRICEDEX SUMMER SERIES mud) provides no clunky shifts or negative feedback. A low-range system is available for trail and off-road purists. THE LEGENDARY R0013406982
The Renegade Sport 4X4 with the 2.4 L engine is rated at 11.2 L/100 km city and 8.0 L/100 km highway (25 and 35 mpg respectively). Its 47.5 L fuel tank should deliver a 450 km range in mixed driving. The P215/65R16 tires are available from an almost endless number of makers in the $100-$200 per unit price range. A dealership oil change with synthetic oil averages less than $100. With the Renegade, Jeep has successfully met the challenges of designing and building a CUV that has all the capabilities, performance, and day-today livability that consumers demand without the detracting end results that plague the competition. But you can’t judge this one by its looks, you have to get behind the wheel. Yours in service, Brian Turner

The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices), come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Jeep Renegade I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Fiat Chrysler Auto (FCA). Compact utility vehicles represent a very fast growing and competitive segment of our automotive market. Designing and building an effective CUV for consumers is a challenging balancing act. If you build it compact enough to attract urban customers while still providing some trail or off-road capabilities, a common side effect is a choppy ride. If you create one light enough to get great fuel economy and performance, they become less manageable and less comfortable on highways when exposed to crosswinds. And if you supply ample room to comfortably carry four passengers, there is seldom any usable cargo space. Jeep brought all these opportunities and challenges to the table when they started with a blank slate that would become the all-new 2015 Renegade but they had another obstacle than their completion didn’t. They had to create a vehicle that would live up to their legendary reputation as masters of the utility vehicle segment. The 2015 Jeep Renegade starts the price tape at $19,995 for the entry level Sport model and travels the trail up to $34,285 for a fully loaded Limited edition (all prices before destination and dealer prep fees, license costs, taxes and any current incentives). My fourwheel drive Renegade Sport equipped with the optional 2.4 L gasoline engine and nine-speed automatic transmission came in at $27,490. This brings you

The 23rd annual Pakenham Fair on Saturday, Aug. 15, held at the Stewart Community Centre and grounds, was a bona fide celebration, with people of all ages joining together to appreciate the value of farming and community. Festivities included agricultural and horticultural exhibits, horse, beef and dairy shows, petting zoo, food and drink, live entertainment, children’s activities, vendors and so much more. Top: Eight-year-old Addy Russell (right) and Reagan Russell, 10, entered six-month-old ‘Diesel’, their purebred Bernese Mountain Dog, in the Man’s Best Friend contest, which was judged by Dan Lafortune, also known as The Dog Father. Left: Ten-year-old Grace Crowder of Carleton Place and ‘Blade’ prepare to compete within the dairy show’s novice showmanship class.
