Town readies to greet torch

Be safe, wear a bicycle helmet and win prizes

The Smiths Falls Police Service along with the Smiths Falls and District Crime Stoppers and Smiths Falls Canadian Tire Store announce the Bicycle Helmet Campaign.

The campaign is to encourage people to wear their bicycle helmet, especially youth. The law in Ontario states that anyone under the age of 18 must wear a bicycle helmet. Failure to do so may result in a ticket.

To promote the wearing of a bicycle helmet, the Smiths Falls Police Officers will be out on the streets obtaining names of the youth wearing their helmets. The youth will then be eligible for a draw for the chance to win a $25 Canadian Tire gift card courtesy of Smiths Falls and District Crime Stoppers. All of the names collected over the program will be eligible for the final draw of a brand new bicycle that will be donated by Smiths Falls Canadian Tire store.

The contest starts on Wednesday July 1, and wraps up on Friday July 31, 2015. There will be four draws to be held on July 10, 17, 24 and 31. The contest is open to youth up to and including 17 years of age.

Pride for our community and country will have two days of celebrations this year as Smiths Falls moves from its Canada Day celebrations July 1 to hosting the Pan Am torch relay at Centennial Park July 2.

Smiths Falls will have the honour of hosting the day celebration from 12:151:15 p.m. at the downtown park next to the Rideau Canal Museum.

“It’s a community party is the best way to put it,” says Ryan Coelho, CIBC emcee for the Pan Am Torch Relay. “The big thing they wanted to do is bring the spirit of the games to communities all across Canada and of course, that includes Smiths Falls.”

Vendors will be set up prior to the scheduled 1 p.m. torch entry into the park with free ice cream and muffins, a community banner for residents to sign and basketball ready to play in the hopes that many children can come out and be inspired by the excitement created from the Pan Am games torch.

“It’s just amazing to see the torch bearer coming through and everyone going crazy. We’re just so excited,” Coelho said.

Three local athletes will be keeping the torch in motion through Smiths Falls

More than 300 volunteers from throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville were honoured with Ontario Volunteer Service Awards in two ceremonies, June 23 and 26 at the Brockville Country Club.

Above, Ennis and Betty James, who have each volunteered for more than 60 years at All Saints Anglican Church in Portland, received awards from Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, far right.

In his remarks last week, Clark encouraged recipients to wear their pins proudly, noting it’s an opportunity to tell anyone who asks about it how much volunteering can enrich their lives.

The deadline for organizations to nominate volunteers is Jan. 25 of each year and more information on the program and how to make nominations is available on the Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade’s website here: http://www. citizenship.gov.on.ca/english/citizenship/honours/ vsa.shtml.

More than 300 volunteers of all ages and from every corner of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville were honoured during two Ontario Volunteer Service Awards ceremonies held at the Brockville Country Club last week.

Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark was on hand both nights (June 23 and June 26) to present the awards and he noted the combined service to the community of the recipients totals more than 5,000 years.

“That’s just an incredible commitment they have to make Leeds-Grenville a better place for all of us and our families to call home,” said Clark.

Clark added he is proud local organizations have been so enthusiastic about embracing his challenge to nominate volunteers for recognition through the province’s Volunteer Service Awards.

“These people truly are the heart of our community and it’s so important that we take time to thank them for all they have given,” said Clark.

“The ceremony is such a special occasion and it’s truly an honour for me to take part. It’s been a highlight of my year since I attended my first ceremony as MPP in 2010.”

After the awards program returned to Brockville for a single ceremony last year, Clark said he was thrilled to have two nights of presentations in 2015.

“The program is really taking off in Leeds-Grenville and I hope we can continue to see it grow in the years to come,” said Clark.

“I can’t think of a better way to not only celebrate all that our volunteers do for us, but to inspire others to give some of their time and talents back to the community.”

The Volunteer Service Awards program recognizes contributions by volunteers of all ages who have been with an organization for at least five consecutive years. Recipients receive pins marking 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and even 60 years of service.

Youth volunteers under 24 years of age can be recognized after at least two consecutive years with a group.

Study medication and diabetes testing supplies are provided for FREE! To find out more about these trials, contact Shelly at (613) 283-8582 or 1-800-717-0145.

Over two sunny days in early June, 34 Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) supporters braved their fears to skydive and support the organization to the tune of $14,252.

The inaugural Jump for Justice was held June 6 and 7 at Mile High Parachuting in Arnprior and the two days were filled with tandem jumps.

“Our first two jumpers were our youngest and they happened to be sisters,” noted LCIH board member Amy Nadeau, who had originally put a goal of $5,000 to be raised through the event.

“Thirty-four skydivers fundraised for over $14,000. It’s phenomenal. We’re really excited about it.”

“It definitely exceeded our expectations,” she said of the total amount raised. “When the pledges started to come in and we saw the totals, it was so great. Our jumpers did an amazing job and getting those funds in.”

The initiative was born out of a third party fundraiser last August, where Kelsie Maynard and Amanda Hodgins, both Bayshore Home Health nurses, who were going to skydive and decided to parlay it into raising monies for LCIH. They succeeded, bringing in $2,000 for the organization and were on hand over the weekend to provide support to the jumpers.

forged a lasting partnership with Mile High Parachuting, who also provided prizes for the jumpers. Those who raised $100 or more received free, unedited videos of their skydives and the top fundraiser, Carleton Place lawyer Craig Rogers who brought in $3,000, earned a full video and photo package, valued at $180.

“They are an amazing group. A huge thank you goes out to them,” Nadeau remarked.

“They are so much fun to work with and kept the weekend running smoothly and kept the crowds going.

They are so skilled at what they do.”

Due to its overwhelming success, Nadeau said LCIH will go ahead and host another Jump for Justice next year.

“We’ve had completely positive feedback from everyone and people are happy to have done it…we’ll have another one next year, for sure,” she stated.

With the infusion of funding, Nadeau said LCIH

will put it to good use, supporting their programs and services and ongoing maintenance of their 15-bed residential shelter.

“We do have lots of programs and projects that don’t get funded and it’s so fantastic when we have a surplus of money like this, that we don’t plan on,” she said. “…We will likely also use some for the regular maintenance of our offices. Things break down and there’s just no money in the budget for that.”

In fact, a commercial sized generator recently failed in the shelter, leaving staff scrambling at how to replace it.

“When you have a full shelter of 15 and we have fridges and freezers with food, to lose things like that is devastating,” Nadeau said on the need for a generator.

“A commercial generator is not a small expense.”

Lanark County Crime Stoppers fighting hard against crime Crime Stoppers is a civilian-run non-profit organization that fosters a cooperative relationship between the police services of a community, the media and the community itself in the fight against crime.

Crime Stoppers provides citizens with a way to anonymously supply the police with information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge.

Cash rewards are offered to people who call the program with information that leads to an arrest.

Who administers the Crime Stoppers program?

A volunteer board of directors actively administers and is responsible for the program. The Crime Stoppers Society is a charitable organization and is responsible for raising funds and the disbursements of rewards.

The board of directors work in close cooperation with the police department.

How is the Crime Stoppers program funded?

Crime Stoppers is a community project supported by donations of money, goods or services. Contributions from individuals, corporations, clubs, professional associations, retailers, civic

and social groups keep the Crime Stoppers program functional. All donations to Crime Stoppers are tax deductible.

Police investigators thought that, if the public was able to observe a re-enactment of the crime on television, this might lead to a citizen providing information that would lead to an arrest.

The police investigators were right. A caller contacted the police department the next day after seeing the reenactment. The tip information was enough to lead the police to the two men who were responsible. Within 72 hours of the re-enactment being aired, the police had solved the murder. This was the beginning of Crime Stoppers.

Carrying the torch

ith all of the national pride that was on display on Canada Day yesterday, we are hoping that some of you will take the opportunity to celebrate the red and white when the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay comes through Carleton Place and Smiths Falls this afternoon. Hundreds of Team Canada members will be representing their country in competition this month, and the relay is giving communities throughout Ontario a chance to take part in the international event being hosted by our provincial capital.

Although the local stops will be fairly brief, they do offer local residents an opportunity to show their support to the torchbearers and to the concept of having athletes at the highest level don the maple leaf in team and individual sports once every four years. Most of us do not follow these sports on a regular basis, but major endeavours such as Pan Am and the Olympics are able to attract our attention and generate a sense of national pride that allows us to cheer for the Canadians even if we aren’t quite that familiar with the games

they are playing.

So if you have some time this afternoon and are able to make it, we encourage you to share the moment somewhere along the way or at the official ceremonies at city and town halls. The torch is expected to arrive at Town Hall Square in Carleton Place at approximately 11:45 a.m. and the town is planning a celebration in the square with a hot dog lunch, balloons and noisemakers.

If you can’t get there, Smiths Falls will be welcoming the torch in style, from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. at the downtown park next to the Rideau Canal Museum. Many of us were fortunate enough to witness the relays associated with the Vancouver and Calgary Winter Olympics, and some can still recall the excitement created by the Montreal games almost 40 years ago.

As the Toronto Pan Am Games approach, we can do out part by supporting the Carleton Place and Smiths Falls stops this afternoon and demonstrating to organizers of the torch relay that they made the right decision by choosing these Lanark County communities to be part of the national celebration.

All students at Northcote welcomed the final day of school We anticipated that last day of school for weeks before it finally rolled around. And all the time I went to the Northcote School, our final day before the summer holidays varied little.

By the time Miss Crosby was ready to go home, the back lunch table would be piled high with our gifts of thanks… the most simple of fare. Alas, the gifts didn’t sway Miss Crosby one iota when it came to the report cards.

No amount of baking or preserves could produce a better grade than what she thought you had earned during the year.

And just because it was the last day of school we weren’t excused from the regular routine Miss Crosby followed religiously every other day of the year. We still had a bible reading in the morning, followed by a long and purposeful prayer, and with our

seemed to be lots of chocolate cake and butter tarts, and I can remember how my little friend Joyce would bring homemade fudge for the whole school.

Once we had put in a full morning, Miss Crosby would announce that it was lunch time and we would all move to the outside…everyone carrying a bag from the pile at the back of the school room.

Miss Crosby always brought a big plaid blanket…one of those that people used in open touring cars. This she would spread out on the grass under the elm tree and the 18 of us who made up the entire enrolment of the Northcote school would sit cross-legged on the grass around the blanket.

The lunches would be heaped in the centre, and this was the one time when Miss Crosby didn’t stand on ceremony. We could reach and grab as much as we wanted, all the time staying within the limits of good manners of course.

When every last scrap had been eaten, there was rarely a crust left for the birds, Miss Crosby would open a story book she had brought from her home and read us the final chapters. It would be a book that she had been reading to us, one chapter at a time for weeks, and the last day of school was the culmination of that once-a-week read.

We half listened. We wanted to hear

LETTER From page 8

Liberal activists have written several letters attacking John Fenik saying he was “fired” from his post in February as campaign manager for Liberal candidate Philippe Archambault, although none of these letters give reasons for the so-called “firing”. The problem for these Liberals is that John Fenik is known as a man of integrity and principle all across Lanark County where he has been warden and in the Town of Perth where he has been acclaimed mayor for three terms. This was the point of Scott Reid’s letter. Scurrilous attacks such as Mr. Fisher’s on John Fenik do not reflect well on the Liberal candidate he is promoting. Last February there was a clear difference of opinion between John Fenik and the Liberal election committee, and the many people who know John will know that he will have had good reasons for withdrawing from the Liberal fold.

As one who knows John Fenik well, Scott Reid reflects this opinion, and as a firm supporter of John Fenik I thank Mr. Reid for his gracious letter which was written to counter the Liberal attacks on Mr. Fenik.

This exchange of letters raises an important question concerning the coming federal election. Will the majority of people in the new riding of LanarkFrontenac-Kingston vote to keep the, in my opinion, disastrous Harper government in power? In the last election 60 per cent of all Canadians voted against this government, yet because of our out-

the end of the book certainly…but we dreaded the last paragraph. Because when Miss Crosby closed the book for the last time, we dreaded what was coming next. It was report card time…and there was no getting away from it. She kept the report cards in a big folder made out of advertisements from Scott’s Hardware store, the kind used to wrap around textbooks for protection. They were handed out by class; primer book first and then right up to the entrance class. We would steal a peek and let out a roar of sheer joy. We had passed. We had made it into the next grade.

Although it would be frowned on today, it was considered a pleasure to be handed a clean-up job before the little one-room schoolhouse was locked up for the summer. The senior girls washed down the slate blackboards, we younger ones took the brushes outside and pounded them together to get every last smidgen of chalk off them and the windowsills were scrubbed.

All but a few of the older boys were shooed out of the schoolhouse, and their job was to scour the wood floor with soapy water, a good dash of Lysol, and a mop.

Inside we knew Miss Crosby would be stuffing the several holes in the baseboards where on a good day we would see four or five mice scurrying from one opening to another. A textbook would be propped against each hole to further antagonize the field

dated “first-past-the-post” voting system the Harper Conservatives received a majority of seats. One of these, of course, was Scott Reid’s in Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington, while the NDP candidate came second, well ahead of the Liberal.

The national polls are showing that an even greater majority of Canadians now want change in Ottawa, and to get change voters must choose between the official opposition NDP and the Liberals, with the NDP being the party most Canadians prefer according to those same polls. So also, in the new riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, voters who want change must choose between John Fenik (NDP) and Philippe Archambault (Liberal).

However, if the Harper candidate is to be defeated, it is essential that, of these anti-Harper voters, as many as possible must vote for the same candidate to prevent Mr. Reid from “coming up the middle”. This is Ken Fisher’s point about “splitting the anti-Harper vote”, and of course he’s right. But he and other Liberals are wrong to cast aspersions about John Fenik, and this was my reading of Scott Reid’s letter.

Considering the fact that voters in this area were willing to vote NDP in the last election, it is not surprising that Liberal activists are concerned. But by trying to blacken the reputation of the NDP’s star candidate, it can be argued that is they who are trying to “split the vote”.

The year was coming to a close. You could be sure you earned every last comment on the report card, be it good or bad.

The long months of summer lay before us, and with mixed feelings of relief and joy, they too would be gone, and Miss Crosby and

the spotlessly cleaned oneroom schoolhouse would once again be ready and waiting for us.

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

As the Pan Am Games torch relay makes its way to Toronto for the opening ceremonies of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games July 10, two police escort vehicles will be equipped with Rescue 7 Automated External Defibrillators.

KS TO

More than 300 participants are carrying the Pan Am Games torch through 130 Ontario communities en route to the opening ceremony of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games on July 10.

The torchbearers will have excellent company and safety security on the trip. Thirteen police officers, most from the OPP, will run or ride alongside the torchbearers to secure the routes and protect the participants.

Two police escort vehicles will also be equipped with Rescue 7 Automated External Defibrillators (AED).

One AED will accompany the police officers who will run or ride at least 10 hours on every leg of the relay in Ontario. The second Rescue 7 defibrillator will travel to other parts of Canada during the 40-day event.

“It’s a great honour to be helping the OPP and Pan Am Games organizers provide torchbearers with a peace of mind and high level of safety over the next 40 days,” says John Collie, CEO Rescue 7, a national safety OURofSPONSORS training and equipment company based in Markham, Ont. “We certainly hope that our AEDs are not needed. But it really does make good safety sense to have these life-saving defibrillators at the ready just in case of an emergency.”

Collie says the portable heartstarting Automated External Defibrillators greatly increase the chance of survival in the event of a cardiac arrest.

About 40,000 Canadians annually suffer cardiac arrest in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, causing blood to stop flowing to the brain and other vital organs. Cardiac arrests are almost always fatal if not treated within minutes. The Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada says immediate CPR and the use of an AED can more than double a victim’s chance of survival.

The Pan Am Games torch relay began its remarkable odyssey on May 30.

Lee-Ann Legault is pleased to announce she has joined Royal LePage Gale Real Estate.

Yesterday was Canada Day and I trust everyone had an enjoyable time on the one day each year when Canadians come together in an impressive show of national unity.

We always attend the festivities at Riverside Park in Carleton Place, where we live. The Canada Day events here are a huge draw. It is wonderful to see entire families and people of all ages come together for an afternoon and evening of flag waving, fun and fireworks.

July 1 is the unofficial start of summer vacation season in this country and because our short (three-month) summer always seems to streak past, we have to take advantage of every opportunity we have to enjoy the sunshine and warmth.

No, I am not trying to put a jinx on summer by mentioning sun and heat. Officials at Environment Canada made a bold prediction last week, forecasting above average temperatures and lots of sunny days for the vast majority of our huge nation. So, time to put on the sunscreen, go out and enjoy ourselves!

Our summer began in style with a long visit by our daughter Heather, her partner Indy and their baby daughter Lily. After two weeks visiting back and forth between our Carleton Place home and his parents’ house in Montreal it was time for Indy to return to his job. He worked a few days at his firm’s Canadian headquarters in downtown Ottawa before flying back to Regina, where Indy is currently posted, to resume his regular work activities on the Canadian Prairies.

Heather and Lily stayed on for another week. The visit with dad and mom was the only vacation Heather will get this summer and with a baby to contend with – Lily turned 15 months while they were here – there isn’t much down time. The baby is walking now and her forays got longer and longer during their visit, something that kept all of us on the run. She’s not too steady on her pins yet and besides babies need constant watching.

Still, we made our best of the limitations a little one places on you. Babies are very portable and we were able to make a few sojourns around the district, including a day trip to nearby Ottawa for lunch and some shopping.

Just as the Environment Canada folks predicted, Mother Nature was kind to us. We were able to spend several lazy afternoons and evenings relaxing on our deck and in our backyard. The barbecue was our focus for meals and with so much good weather we often ate

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

dinner outside.

With a gate securely in place Lily was able to further test her newfound walking skills, doing laps around the deck furniture.

In the yard she had the run of the place. Literally in Lily’s case!

She alternately walked, booted or tossed a kids’ size soccer ball, played with her toys and looked for the worst possible places to sit. Little ones always love flower borders, soil, leaves and grass.

So a lot of soiled garments were added to the daily laundry. When babies are around water conservation isn’t a priority.

We also have a great park in our neighbourhood and Lily loves the swings. We tired of that activity long before she did.

On the way home from the park Lily qualified for “ParticipACTION.” She walked a block with her grandpa.

At the end of the day Heather was pleased because Lily had worn herself out and slept like a log.

Vacations costly During Heather and Lily’s visit I heard a news report that focused on the fact many Canadians are in despair this year because they can’t afford a summer vacation.

Despite the huge drop in oil prices, the cost of gasoline in Canada remains relatively high, something which irks all of us and particularly those planning a driving holiday this summer.

Ironically the slump in the energy sector has also put downward pressure on the loonie which, at this writing, is hovering in the 80 cent range when compared to the still dominant United States’ greenback.

The lower value of the dollar makes a holiday trip south of the border less attractive. In this area that’s a shame because of our proximity to the 49th parallel.

Personally I feel that anyone, no matter what their financial situation, can enjoy a summer break. It isn’t necessarily where you go or how much money you spend that are the chief determining factors in having a good holiday. Vacation season is only as good as what you make of it!

And summer breaks can be just as enjoyable – perhaps more so – if you stay close to home and take advantage of all the things

there are to do in your own community.

I do a lot of writing about overseas trips and Kathleen and I are planning another European vacation later this summer.

We’ve been fortunate to do a lot of international traveling during the past 20 years.

But believe me, it wasn’t always like this! When our children were young summer vacation meant a visit with Kathy’s parents in her hometown of Chatham, Ontario. No accommodation or food costs involved with grandpa and grandma footing the bill. Only the price of gasoline for the car and miscellaneous expenses.

On occasion Kathy and I would take an overnight trip of our own to nearby Michigan, just to get a break while we had built-in babysitters at our disposal. When the kids got older those trips included sun-splashed forays to the sandy beaches of Lake Erie and perhaps a Major League game at old Tiger Stadium in Detroit. All of our family vacations were carefully budgeted by my frugal wife.

If you have a young family, but don’t have the option we had when our children were growing up, there are still plenty of choices close to home that will give you some enjoyable summer holiday experiences.

In Carleton Place we’re fortunate enough to have Canada’s Mississippi River running through our community and a truly beautiful outdoor venue, the aptly named Riverside Park.

The park isn’t only a great place for Canada Day observances. It is a great destination throughout the warm weather months and includes a very clean beach, a splash pad, children’s playground equipment and picnic tables.

From my observations the local park experience is available in most communities. So too are local museums which, despite the hard work of staff and volunteers, are too often under appreciated. Visit your local museum and learn more about the history of the community or district you live in.

We have an excellent museum in our town and I wish more people would take advantage of that fact.

Capital vacation We often tend to totally ignore what is available to us in our own community or our own district. People in this region have some truly incredible options due to our proximity to Ottawa, the nation’s capital and all the many sites the centre of government for the country has to offer. Ottawa also has so many other facilities that big cities on this continent feature.

Certainly Parliament Hill and the Parliament Buildings offer a tremendous opportunity for Canadians to learn about their own country and for most of my readers it is just down the road. The day trip experiences available in Ottawa are unlimited really.

It is one of the greenest capitals in the world and a stroll along the Rideau Canal, now a World Heritage Site, is worth a visit by itself.

If you enjoy camping there are so many provincial parks and camp sites available to you within a short distance.

We also have the added advantage of being in close proximity to the St. Lawrence River, the St. Lawrence Seaway and wonderful smaller cities such as Kingston and Brockville which have such interesting histories and offer so much to visitors. An excursion to Old Fort Henry in Kingston is something history lovers won’t soon forget. The setting is so spectacular for photographers like me.

The list of vacation possibilities is endless really. And much of what I have referred to is very easy to do, readily accessible and relatively inexpensive.

Of course if all else fails one of the best summer holiday options possible is as close as your own backyard, front porch or outdoor deck. Park yourself on a lawn chair with a beverage of your choice, soak up some rays and watch the world go by.

When mealtime arrives light up the barbecue and treat yourself and your loved ones to dinner outdoors.

Today’s world is far too fast and much too involved in my opinion. Everyone needs a pressure release and the valve is at your disposal. Turn off your portable device/cell phone, hit the off button on the television or computer and enjoy what summer in eastern Ontario has to offer.

Whatever you do don’t waste the limited opportunities the weather at this time of year offers us. I wish all of you a very enjoyable summer!

Correction and clarification The June 18, 2015 issue of this newspaper included an article on the front page of the third section Connected to Your Community, “Perth Bible Researcher says Jesus will return in 2027.” We published accompanying photos of Father Brian McNally, pastor of St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish in Perth, and of parishioners attending daily Mass in the church. We would like to clarify that the article had no connection whatsoever with Fr. McNally or with St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish and the parish. This newspaper apologizes for the unintentional misrepresentation, and to Fr. McNally for any confusion this has caused.

CPHC offers continued support to stroke survivors, caregivers Community & Primary Health Care (CPHC) – Lanark, Leeds and Grenville is pleased to be offering continued support for stroke survivors and their caregivers by means of a support group.

The support group provides an opportunity for persons affected by stroke to learn more about stroke, discover community resources, build a social network and share and learn new coping techniques.

Social support is a key component of stroke recovery as it can increase self confidence and decrease feelings of isolation, fear and loneliness. Meeting with the others provides an opportunity to support one another in dealing with the life changes that result from a stroke.

Some quotes from the support group include: “Just talking with members about experiences is encouraging;” “It has encouraged me greatly to continue my work at ‘getting bet-

ter’;” “This is a very good forum for learning, meeting new people, making new friends;” and “I enjoy the conversations and feel safe in the group. It is always a positive atmosphere.”

The Perth and Area Stroke Survivor and Caregiver Support Group meets from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of every month. Meetings are held at the Royal Canadian Legion in Perth.

The Brockville and area group meets from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on the fourth Monday of every month and meetings take place in the CPHC board room.

Registration is not required.

The group is free, confidential, open to new members always and led by a trained facilitator.

This Week’s Pets

This week’s featured pets Ruby Meet Ruby, a tiny kitten with “catitude”. She’s barely lived in this scary large world and already knows what she wants. That’s Ruby! She’s just over twomonths-old and eager to meet her new family to cuddle with her and welcome her into a warm loving home.

call me Ernie, but I don’t care what you call me as long as you call me into your welcoming home for my next meal.

Please choose me as your favorite cat. I am worth the trip to Natural Pets in Carleton Place.

Isla We’re looking for a foster or permanent home for our Isla, who has been at LAWS since February. Isla needs to be

fears young children, but experience shows that she is very loving toward most adults. At LAWS unfortunately, Isla has been confined to small quarters.

What she needs is a person who’s willing to work with her on her terms. Let her come to you, play with a toy, show her that the world is really OK. We feel that with patience and limited pressure, she will come around. It might take some time, but she will come around.

If you think you’re able and willing to give her a fair try, please call LAWS at 613-283-9308 to make arrangements to meet her. Isla would love to meet you, for sure!

Meah Please meet Meah our Alaskan Malamute mix. Sadly, she was tied to a short chain for most of her life, causing her to gain far too much weight. This type of dog needs to run and pull your favorite summer sled. She’s a very sweet, pretty six-year-old girl who needs to be invited into a home where one knows and understands the breed.

Meah is a very strong puller and could cart you around with her strength. Despite the fact that she was kept chained for so long she has not lost faith and trust in people. She likes to go for walks and hopes a good home will come along where she’s allowed to do what nature made her for: Running while pulling something! Her potential adopter should be willing to spend lots of time with her to help her lose weight. Get her out of the house and throw toys around the yard for her to chase. Put her to work pulling you on roller blades or get a lightweight cart. You’ll both have fun! If she’ll be the only dog, this is even more important. Two dogs may wrestle and expend energy playing, but a lone dog doesn’t have that option. You then will have to be her playmate.

If you’re willing to commit to this Meah could be your best playmate for the remainder of her life. She’s definitely worth the trip to LAWS.

Annabelle Annabelle is a very loving young, approximately two-year-old female cat, who loves to have a conversation with you. She was rescued off the streets by a very nice woman who has nurtured her back to good health. She likely led a lonesome life while being a street cat because, since she’s been at LAWS she absolutely craves the love and attention she receives from staff and volunteers.

Thanks to her rescuer, Annabelle is now available and ready to find a socialized on her terms in a home with“fur”ever home. out other pets or small children.

Plenty of animals to get to know and love at LAWS this week

Wardens caucus expresses support for Ontario’s doctors in fight to put patients first stop government cuts to patient care.

The motion came after Ontario Medical Association president Dr. Mike

Toth met with the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus in Pembroke and outlined how the government’s imposed changes to doctors and medical services are impacting patient care.

“We are all acutely aware that this is a critical time for Ontario’s health care system,” said Dr. Toth.

“At a time when there are more than 800,000 Ontarians still without a family doctor and 140,000 new residents are being added into the system every year, the government is in the process of implementing unilateral restrictions and cuts in an effort to balance its budget. They are putting their budget ahead of patients.”

One of those restrictions is to the ability of family doctors

to join team-based models of practice – the model in which new doctors are currently trained – which could impact the family physician recruitment efforts municipalities in eastern Ontario, and across the province, have undertaken to attract doctors to their communities.

“A key factor to our great quality of life in rural eastern Ontario is having access to family physicians and health services close to home,” said Warden Eric Duncan, chair of EOWC. “We want to make sure that our communities are well served and that rules and regulations are not burdening our valued rural health care practices. We support any changes

that encourage more doctors to set up practice in communities around Ontario, particularly eastern Ontario.”

Doctors may only join teams in communities the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Long-Term Care have identified on a list as areas of high physician need.

The problem is the MOH has cut in half the number of doctors who can join teams and there are 200 communities on the list competing for those 20 doctors per month.

“The reality is there is a need for family doctors in communities across the province – whether they area on the list or not,” said Dr. Toth.

“My practice gets calls every week from people looking for a family doctor, but the ministry

doesn’t deem my community of Aylmer an area of high physician need.”

Another change the government imposed on Feb. 1 was an arbitrary limit on the number of services doctors can provide to patients by placing a cap on the budget for medical services.

This cap will be achieved by clawing back physician billings after they have already provided care to their patients.

“As government imposes these terms, doctors will do everything we can to limit the impacts these cuts will have on patients,” he said.

“But make no mistake; there will be negative impacts on patients.”

production of Anne & Gilbert, as well as a remount of Les Miserables at the Princess of Wales Theatre in 2013.

He says that musical was huge but very intimate at the same time.

“I will never forget our first public preview, and we sing this huge Act 1 finale song and 2,000 people who gave up just about anything to get a ticket to this show just erupted in applause,” he recalls. “It was a sound and a feeling that is impossible to describe.

“The emotion was huge and it can be very broad, but the goal of the remount was to find the intimacy and honesty in this huge musical. I remember the first time we ran the barricade sequence with 8 or 10 other guys, and you find these real relationships in rehearsal. We asked, ‘What would you do if you looked at your best friend and you were about to die?’ which happens in that scene. To build and find those moments was a real focus.”

That production was also important personally for Zonneville, who met his partner Mallory Reeves during the production. (When he leaves Perth the town in August, he will

be living in Perth County, Stratford, where Reeves is working as a wigmaker at the Stratford Festival.)

Zonneville’s life continues to take serendipitous paths. As someone interested in becoming a beer sommelier, a few weeks before he came to town he ran into a man in Toronto with a car full of Perth Brewing product.

“Here I am in this city of millions of people and I meet this guy from Perth. I didn’t get his last name, it was just Bruce from Perth, and he was the nicest guy. I like that feel in a community, and look forward to spending more time with it.”

Zonneville is enjoying rehearsals for Barefoot in the Park, given “it’s such a universal play. Things haven’t changed a lot in the last 50 years in many ways when it comes to relationships. Audiences will totally relate to the arguments that Corie and Paul have and the tender beginning of married life.”

One of the first times actor Chris Zonneville ran into Rachel Fischer, his co-star in the Classic Theatre Festival production of Neil Simon’s comedy Barefoot in the Park (running July 10 to Aug. 2 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth), she knocked out one of his teeth.

The two first met while performing in a series of Disney Cruise Lines musicals, as part of Toy Story: The Musical casts. The cruises would launch from Cape Canaveral and end up on Disney’s private island in the Bahamas (where the movie Blow was filmed).

On a second tour, they saw each other for the first time in eight months and, in a manner common to the theatrical tradition, went for a friendly hug.

“But as we went to hug each other, a guy walking nearby accidentally bumped her from behind, so she butted me in the face and broke out my fake tooth. It was funny, and also a bit awkward, but we were chipper about it and went on,” Zonneville laughs.

Little did he know then that the two would work on a show as a battling young married couple years later in Perth, in the roles of stuffed shirt lawyer Paul and his free-spirited newlywed wife Corie.

Then again, accidents can have a funny way of determining one’s destiny. Zonneville’s path to a life on the stage began when an accident kicked him off the elementary school basketball team. So when his mother needed boys for the chorus of the musical Bye Bye Birdie, he suddenly had some free time and gave it a shot.

Like many a youthful performer, he was immediately struck by the unique experience.

“I finally found a voice that empathized with me when I got into theatre, and I love telling stories, which is the basis for theatre,” says Zonneville. “I was very young at the time, and it just seemed very real and natural and I was good at it,” he says, noting that growing up in a sports-crazy town (Sarnia), his future as a theatre student was a bit different from the career paths of many of his hockeyloving peers.

He was accepted at one of the top theatre schools in North America, Sheridan College, where he enjoyed the triple threat program (singing, dancing, acting) a few years behind Fischer.

“It’s a remarkable program, and you get back what you put into it, with a great staff who put in the time to make sure you get the training you want.”

His first professional gig out of school was performing The Mikado at Southern Ontario’s Drayton Theatre, and he has since performed across the country in a variety of roles, including a recent Thousand Islands Playhouse

Mills Community Support introduces new Friends and Fun program Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I’m most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me.

Anne Hathaway Imagine if you lived alone with no family or friends within close distance or family and friends who just visited on occasions, or if you lived in an isolated rural area with nobody around you for possibly miles, no one to visit, talk to or share things with.

Many of our seniors who still live at home are experiencing this as husbands or wives have passed on, their close friends have either moved away or passed away, some may not have children or the children do not live close by and they are lonely and would love to have someone to come in and share some companionship and friendship for an hour a week, or every two weeks or more if you have the time.

We all need people no matter how close or how often the contact and we often find that if people sit at home with no stimulation or interests in their day that onset of dementia happens that more quickly or people become depressed and withdrawn from their community and society.

We have had feedback from several of our clients asking if we could find them someone who would come and visit with them, sit and chat, have

a coffee or a cup of tea, maybe go for a walk with them...the possibilities are endless for something like this.

We have folks who like to do crossword puzzles, Sudoku, play Scrabble or just go out for a drive so that they get out of the house, get some fresh air and see something other than the four walls of their home or apartment.

So based on the requests that we have received and from our staff who have identified some folks who could possibly use a friendly face, we have established a new program called Friends and Fun. If you have an hour a week, an hour every two weeks or even some time on a monthly basis to visit someone in their home we would love to hear from you. There is no set day of the week or time of day that you have to do this – just give us a call and we will match you up with someone who has some common interests and hobbies.

To have a friend and be a friend is what makes life worthwhile.

Your taste and needs may change, and a short-term lease can make it easier to drive a new vehicle more frequently.

Brimming with the romantic optimism of the post-war era, the sunny comedy Yesteryear brings the hopeful message that love can be even lovelier the second time around. Set in the 1940s in small town Saskatchewan, Joanna McClelland Glass’s Prairie tale is about love lost and found, and the differences money can make. Be part of the fun when an Irish Sweepstakes ticket exalts the meek above the mighty. Seen here are three of the stars, from left: Bernie Oldendorp, Lucas Tennant and Alison Kirkpatrick. Yesteryear, directed

by Norma Cummings, concludes at the Studio Theatre in Perth with three performance this coming weekend, July 3 and 4 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, July 5 at 2 p.m. For details and ticket information please visit studiotheatreperth.com.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Your mood is pleasant and playful this week, Aries. It’s a perfect time to plan a social engagement or party at your home. Invite friends and family and have a good time.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, take time to find ways to relax and unwind. This could mean removing yourself from tense or competitive situations for a little while until things calm down.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Your imagination is ignited this week, Gemini. This can clear the path for new beginnings. Make sure decisions you make now are centered and empowered.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, your energy levels are elevated this week. Make the most of this newfound energy by tackling all of those projects you have been putting off.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 This week brings all sorts of interesting ideas and desires, Leo. There’s much to keep you busy, but make sure you don’t overdo things. Avoid the urge to stretch yourself too thin.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Don’t be surprised if your feelings are all over the place this week, Virgo. The week might feel like a roller coaster, but you will feel great by the end of the week.

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 32 - Thursday, July 2, 2015

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, an irritating issue seems to fix itself and that is relieving.

Remember, you do not have to take on everything yourself. Plenty of people are willing to lend a hand.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you have lately been more comfortable with your role in life and your responsibilities. It seems you have everything all together, and others may seek out your advice.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, when your imagination is stimulated, there’s nothing you cannot accomplish. This may be an interesting week for you, as restless energy has you seeking an outlet.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may need to look at a problem from another perspective to find the best solution. Discuss your findings with others and see if they have any suggestions.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Take things easy and let your intuition work for you, Aquarius. Financial or business-related projects fall in your lap, and you work through them quite easily.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Emotions reach a high after hearing good news this week, Pisces. It’s okay to let your guard down a bit around your loved ones.

Susan Jayne Greenley Peacefully, June 9, 2015, at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, in her 57th year.

Her sister Fran was at her side.

Susan will be sadly missed by her siblings; Judy (Norm), Gary (Tamara), Fran (Brian), Dennis (Melody), Ken, Mark (Janice) and chosen sister Janet (Wolfgang). Her wonderful, big smile and great hugs will be missed by many nieces and nephews. Susan was predeceased by her father Mel (1973) and mother Irene (2008). Susan graduated from Perth and District Collegiate Institute. Upon entering the work force she went to Woodstock and stayed with Judy and Norm Chaplin. Susan was employed in the office of a construction company for a few months then worked at the retail store Towers. Her beautiful home town of Perth kept tugging at her heart strings and eventually the heart won.

Once back to Perth she was employed

by McLean and Noonan Insurance. After awhile Susan joined the front office staff, where she was a fixture for over 30 years at the Perth Courier. Susan enjoyed a wide variety of interests but her first love was gardening and she took great pleasure in getting her knees dirty. She was a good cook, an avid reader and truly enjoyed the game of cribbage. Susan loved board games especially “Trival Pursuit” and was a team member for a group that competed locally playing this game.” Susan had great respect and admiration for nature and all creatures of the universe. Anyone who knew her appreciated her kind, gentle ways. As per Susan’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a family gathering will occur at a later date. As expressions of sympathy, donations can be made to the Lanark Animal Welfare Society. Susan’s funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, Perth.

ASHTON, Arthur – In loving memory of my husband who passed away June 29, 2011.

Miss You Every Day. Love You Forever.

RICHARD JAMES BURKE 4th Degree Knights of Columbus

The family of the late Jim Burke would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped comfort them during the sudden and difficult passing of their beloved father, papa, brother, uncle and brother-in-law. Special thanks are extended to the staff at the Great War Memorial site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital including Doctor’s Joannou, Del Grande and his long time physician Doctor A. Drummond. To the third floor nursing staff we will forever remember your professionalism and compassion. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful facility in our community. To Rev. Father Brian McNally, we are blessed to have you as our Parish Priest and our dear friend. Your prayers, guidance, and many visits provided comfort and strength to us all. To the choir, for providing beautiful music. To the 4th Degree Honour Guard, honourary pallbearers and the Knights of Council #3531, we thank you for the lovely tribute, Dad would be so proud. We as well thank the pallbearers and grandchildren for honouring Dad’s wishes. To Stewart Blair and his remarkable staff, your expertise is unequalled. To all those who sent prayers, food, cards, condolences, charitable donations and floral tributes, we are eternally grateful.

The Burke Family

LAMING, Dwayne D. 1955 – 2010 There’s a face that’s with us ever, There’s a voice we long to hear, A smile we’ll remember forever, Though we try to forget every tear.

There’s sad but sweet remembrance, There’s memory fond and true, There’s a token of affection dear, And heartache still for you.

The world changes year to year, And friends from day to day, But never will the one we loved, From memory pass away. (“Thanks for the Dance”) Sadly missed, Always loved Kathy, Christina, Brendan, Breige and families

DUGDALE, Ernest – In loving memory of Wayne who passed away June 29, 2012.

God called him home, It was His will, But in our hearts, We love him still.

His memory is as dear today, As in the hour he passed away.

We often sit and think of him, When we are all alone, For memory is the only thing, That grief can call its own.

Sadly missed by your brothers and sisters and families

Musical minister packs up saxophone and heads off to Ottawa church I was reminded, yet again, how fortunate I am to be involved in the “roots music” community throughout Canada, thereby being able to meet so many stellar musicians, their families and friends. It’s an almost “underground” community as many of the players are unknown to public outside this realm.

Folk, roots…acoustically driven music that has its beginnings and respect for the old while blending with the new, offers a magic world out there, full of people I described in my last article as one’s who, most often, independently produce, promote and play their very listenable music to the lucky few who have experienced and recognized the quality of what they’ve seen or heard and, as a result, search it out to enjoy more.

We were at a stag & doe for a musician friend and his bride-to-be...it was a surprise as he thought it was just another gig. To see the look on his face as he panned the room, seeing so many musician friends he plays with in various configurations filling the room, all excited to take the stage with him and all realizing how rare a special opportunity this was. Most of them are normally playing somewhere else or gigging out on the road. It’s infrequent musicians get to socialize so for them to take the time out of busy schedules to show up, complete with family members or main squeezes, was a credit to all he’s done for others. No pay, no egos, just lots of energy and the obvious joy of making music together that reverberated through every note.

As I wandered around I heard conversations about gear, new kids having arrived since they’d last met, gig opportunities and a room full of proverbial encouragement for one another, each respecting and supporting one another’s experiences of trying to make a living in this crazy world of being a touring musician they’re all involved in. A truly marvellous, good feeling vibe transcended the room for the evening. It was a real privilege to take it all in.

Flash forward to the following weekend. I was channel surfing and found a movie just released on Netflix called Austin to Boston which I had never heard of so checked it out. I realized it was as if someone put this in front of me to experience after my recent writings about road warrior musicians. Director James Marcus Haney chronicles the travels in five veteran VW micro-buses, four bands, 3,000 miles of touring dates in two weeks from the left coast to the east. Conceived by Mumford & Sons’ Ben Lovett, also executive producer, Lovett is also a co-founder of a record label and live music promotions company called Communion, whose aim is to be a “platform for an unsigned music scene in the main cities”.

He took unknown British groups (Ben Howard, The Staves, Nathaniel Rateliff, Bear’s Den) and, fresh off the stages of SXSW in Austin, Texas, piled them in the VWs and off they went on a zany tour, playing in pubs, halls, barns and rooftops to appreciative crowds across the USA. We’re not talking about swanky tour buses and lavish hotels, we’re talk-

ing crammed vehicles, campgrounds and two-star hotels. Heavy rains, cantankerous vehicles, tight schedules and what must have seemed like endless driving brought home what it takes to make or break an adventure such as this. From being basic strangers at the beginning, they became a real family at the end. Gil Landry of Old Crow Medicine Show signed on as driver/VW mechanic and provided the narration. Some incredibly harmonious musicianship was offered

by The Staves – an English sister folk trio. All the music was creative and enjoyable. If you get a chance, check it out.

It’s a great glimpse at another world.

Lanark County is losing one of its musical pride and joys. On Sunday, (are you sitting down?), I attended Trinity United in Smiths Falls for the last service Rev. Peter Woods, their minister, would perform as he is moving to MacKay United in Ottawa. A wonderful saxophone player, Pete’s played in Saints & Sinners around the area for years, besides playing with Dennis Staples and crew. He also plays as a duo with one of Canada’s great jazz pianists, Brian Browne who, at one time had his own radio show in Toronto. His renowned Brian Browne Trio who backed Anne Murray on Snowbird and other early recordings before going to New York to back the late guitar great, Lenny Breau.

During the service I also had the opportunity to hear live for my first time, Peter’s son, Campbell Woods sing and I must say, if you get a chance to hear him, please do. His naturally laid-back delivery and voice with great range would have made Pete Seeger proud with Campbell’s haunting version of Peace in the Valley, as Pete regularly performed this classic, written originally by Tommy Dorsey for Mahalia Jackson. To Peter, his wife Carolyn Sutherland (previous artistic director for Stewart Park Festival and Shelter Valley Festival), we wish you and both your musical families all the best. Peter has been an inspiration both spiritually and musically to those in Smiths Falls and area for the past 19+ years, will be missed and we wish him well.

Finally, just a short note to congratulate the organizers of the Rock the Docks event held at the new Rideau Ferry Docks, hosted by the Rideau Ferry Yacht Club. Scott Cameron organized a wonderful lineup of local musicians. I hope this new event gains legs and becomes an annual event. Great fun.

Upcoming events • Every other Sunday: Jazz brunch at Fiddlhead’s in Perth. Pianist Clay Young brings some wonderful musical guests together from noon until 3 p.m. in the atrium.

RVCA delivers on Kemptville Creek commitment Thanks to the environmental commitment and goodwill of Kemptville Creek subwatershed residents, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) was able to reach its goal to undertake stewardship activities in all six catchment areas of the Kemptville Creek subwatershed.

Working with residents, local partners and municipalities, RVCA provided technical and financial assistance for projects aimed at improving local watershed health.

“We are delighted to see the uptake of our public conservation programs,” says Rudy Dyck, director of stewardship services. “Local residents are keen to do good things and we are pleased to help them achieve their stewardship and conservation goals.”

The Kemptville Creek subwatershed is the second largest tributary of the Rideau River. Kemptville Creek is formed by the confluence of two forks, the North Branch and the South Branch. Together they drain a relatively flat farming district of 456 square kilometres with many large wetlands, moist woodlands and fertile crop lands.

The subwatershed is changing though – from a long established community of single-family farms and small businesses to one of new country estates, big box stores and greenfield developments.

Although in relatively good shape, the 2013 Kemptville Creek Subwatershed Report calls for increased attention to water quality concerns in Barnes Creek, continued beaver management and the protection of forests, shorelines and wetlands. Data shows that Kemptville Creek is enviable with its lush, green, natural shorelines. The goal is to simply keep things as natural as possible and let natural features and functions do what they do best.

“The watershed is in good shape,” says Dyck. “What’s critical now is having landowners do their part to protect or enhance the watershed’s existing natural features.”

Good stewardship activities and de-

cisions taking place on the land every day is crucial to long-term watershed health. Working together, the RVCA is helping landowners with technical expertise and grants for on-the-ground efforts to undertake best management practices on their properties or restore natural features.

“We can help with tree planting, shoreline naturalization, shoreline erosion protection, livestock fencing, septic system replacements, nutrient management plans, fish habitat enhancements, garbage clean ups and more,” says Dyck. “We are always looking to connect with landowners and offer our incentive programs which can often cover from 50 to 100 percent of project costs.”

Since the report was issued back in the spring of 2014, considerable effort has been made to connect with landowners in the subwatershed area in hopes of undertaking quality stewardship projects. To date, 37 projects were completed including 120,000 trees planted on 60 hectares, 400 metres of shoreline buffes created, one garbage clean up event and 13 different Rural Clean Water projects including livestock fencing, erosion control, and various septic and well related projects. More than $285,000 project dollars were invested on private and public lands to improve local environmental conditions.

Thanks to all the community partners for their support – Ducks Unlimited, Eastern Ontario Model Forest, Ferguson Forestry Center, Forests Ontario, Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Municipality of North Grenville, Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation and Saint Michael Catholic High School.

The RVCA continues to offer guidance and financial assistance, on behalf of watershed municipalities, to help property owners undertake best management practices on their properties.

Residents to Smiths Falls Police: We just can’t pay Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Residents thanked members of the Smiths Falls Police Service for their exemplary service to the town and then asked them to reduce it to make the cost of policing within financial reach of taxpayers.

“We want you to know we can’t afford what we have. I would prefer to keep the Smiths Falls police, but I don’t think we can afford to keep paying,” said Paula Banks, taxpayer.

She asked for a resident survey to be conducted listing the enhancement services the police currently offer and asking residents to list them in priority to see what could be cut to bring the budget in line.

Deputy Chief Mark MacGillivray cautioned the community on reducing the service currently being provided, saying enforcement and prevention work hand-in-hand.

“The reason that crime stats are dropping is because of the nice ‘to-haves’. All that translates into cost savings,” Deputy Chief MacGillivray said.

Resident, Reg Irvine likes the service he receives from police, particularly how responsible the Police Services Board (PSB) is to hearing from taxpayers.

“I wouldn’t want to see this board go. We wouldn’t have this discussion like we have now. I’m just hoping you can look

Smiths Falls Police Chief Bob Dowdall gets out his calculator. at it and crunch some numbers,” Irvine said.

The police service budget is a third of the town’s overall budget in 2015 at $4.7 million.

Police Chief Bob Dowdall explained almost 90 per cent of this is in salaries and benefits for 24 uniformed officers and additional civilian staff, with the remainder going into capital expenses and supplies.

“We got here through a lot of years of business plans and the legislative changes,” added Deputy Chief MacGillivray. “You’re not only paying for what we do, you have to pay for what we might

through anything but attrition like this is very time consuming and requires a hearing from a third party as regulated under the Police Services Act. The Town of Smiths Falls has never undertaken such a process to reduce the police service before; however, this may change.

“It’s clear what we’re hearing tonight is we don’t want enhancements we want reductions,” the chief said. “Everything will be on the table, obviously, when we look at this. It’s not going to happen overnight.”

Dowdall assured the public that any reductions in service resulting from the public consultation process for the 2015-2017 PSB business plan will be made public through a press release. The public asked for many numbers June 24, including the cost of a base service responding to calls for service only and the cost of the service enhancements (foot and bike patrols and prevention such as school visits and presentations), which PSB members Staffing noted will be forthcoming from the business The chief pointed to $200,000 in savings plan process that is now underway and should in last year’s budget from not replacing a retir- be wrapped up by the end of this year. ing service member, but added reducing staff See POLICE page SF2

have to do.”

Chief Dowdall gave a breakdown of the last 15 years of police budgets in five-year increments. For much of this period the increases range from $500,000-$700,000 between 2000-2010. However, there was a $2.2 million increase in policing from 2010-2015 ($2.5 million in 2010; $4.7 million in 2015).

It was noted the new police building does cost taxpayers $300,000 a year ($250,000 in mortgage costs and the rest in maintenance) in new costs previously not needed when the police operated out of the municipal complex.

A reason for the jump was not provided at the June 24 meeting, but Chief Bob Dowdall did note that Smiths Falls does have high call for service numbers for a town of its size.

Karen Hallinan, PSB chair, noted the Smiths Falls police officers are the third lowest paid police force in the province.

Torch

police

this week: Corey Turnbull, Neil Doef and Bailey Andison. Turnbull is a local marathon runner who brought his passion for fitness to town by launching the successful Spring Fling Running Thing each spring. This annual event has raised countless dollars for our local hospital.

Doef is a local hockey player whose life trajectory quickly changed last fall when he was seriously injured playing a game in Saskatchewan. Doef’s getit-done attitude and commitment to his recovery has inspired his community and made him a role model for others who are overcoming adversity.

Andison is an accomplished swimmer who is turning heads and making waves in the competitive swim world. Last year, she earned a gold medal in the 50-meter breaststroke during the 2014 Canadian Age Group Championships in Winnipeg.

The torch, which each of these accomplished individuals will be carrying through the streets of Smiths Falls, is the same flame that was achieved at the Pyramid of the Sun, in Teotihuacan, Mexico earlier this year.

Before it makes its way to the opening ceremonies in Toronto July 10, the torch will be run through 130 communities across Canada.

“Communities are such a big part of sport we really just wanted to celebrate that,” Coelho said.

The CIBC emcee said he is looking forward to meeting the community of Smiths Falls this Thursday, especially the younger generation whom he feels are what the torch relay is all about.

According to a CIBC poll, which randomly surveyed about 800 Ontario residents, 25 per cent of people are excited to have the games in Ontario to see world-class sport in their own backyard. The Pan Am Games are the largest multi-sport event ever to be held in Canada. Coelho said the legacy of such an event coming to Ontario is, in part, the opportunity to expose our younger generation to a wider variety of sporting options beyond the traditional curling, hockey and soccer, which are so popular today.

We’re “creating future athletes. I think that has the same effect for a lot of younger athletes that are Canadian,” Coelho said.

The CIBC poll found that 52 per cent of respondents planned to take part in the torch relay, and you should too. Be sure to come down to the park this Thursday, July 2 from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. and be part of this once in a lifetime experience in Smiths Falls.

One possible approach to achieving any reductions suggested at the meeting would be to arrive at a price for police and then have the chief come back with various options for savings in order to reach that price point.

Throughout the course of the June 24 arena hall meeting, members of the public challenged the current size of the force at 24 uniformed officers as it gives each officer responsibility to service 375 residents (given a population of 9,000).

“It is more [than the average] but not double,” Dowdall conceded.

Mayor Shawn Pankow, who attended the meeting as a member of the PSB, provided some of his research into other Ontario police services where he learned Port Hope with a population of 16,000 people had the same budget and staff levels as the Smiths Falls Police Service. Pankow went on to say, on average, he believes the police service is about 30 to 35 per cent more expensive than other communities of its size.

“Those are things that concern me as a member of the Police Services Board,” Pankow said.

The PSB received a letter June 24 from the town council asking them to find efficiencies in their operations in general. It was made clear at the meeting that under the Police Services Act the police budget can’t be part of the town’s overall service review currently underway as it is not managed by the town council, but rather by the PSB and the laws enacted by the provincial government.

“Tonight is our service review,” said Hallinan.

Banks addressed the current service review, asking Pankow what the town can do to find savings that may allow the police service to remain at the service levels residents now enjoy.

“I do believe the chief is being thrown under the cruiser,” Banks said.

Happy 100 years young

Austin Young celebrated his 100th birthday on June 26 at Chartwell’s Willowdale Retirement Centre in Smiths Falls. He had friends and family members help with the cake eating, which was made for the centenarian by staff. Young’s birth date is June 28.

Both Hallinan and Dowdall noted several times that there is no information on the level of service these comparable communities are receiving, but acknowledged the message they received from the community meeting.

“I know what you’re asking. I sense the frustration in the room,” Hallinan added. “What sacrifices are you willing to make? That’s what we need to see.”

Mental health Coun. Dawn Quinn knew exactly where she’d like the police budget to be cut and that’s in the area of dealing with cases of mental health.

“Why are we allowing these kinds of expenses to be put on the shoulders of taxpayers. We need to stand up and fight and say enough is enough,” Quinn said.

She is proposing to wage a lobbying effort against the provincial and federal governments whose decision to cut their budgets have left the cost of mental health in communities to the police. Statistics from the 2014 Smiths Falls Police Services Annual Report show mental health incidents have dropped by 10 incidents in the last year (93 in 2013, 83 in 2014). Despite this improvement, mental health is the fifth highest incident requiring police response after assaults (105), domestic disturbance (122), mischief to property (129), and theft (211). Officers undertaken annual training in use of force by local staff Sgt. Paul Klassen and Const. David Murphy who are certified instructors. At the same time, all officers are now trained and qualified in using a Taser device. In 2014 the police responded to 12 incidence where they needed to use force or a Taser to control a situation. The 2014 annual report states that these tactics are used when an officer must protect themselves, the public or to make an arrest.

Hallinan noted the PSB has many stakeholders to speak with to complete the 2015-2017 business plan. Feedback from all stakeholders will be considered when the new plan is drafted.

Councillors open to talk about possible youth centre opportunities Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

The Smiths Falls and District Centre for Youth is making lasting change in the lives of local individuals, and has dreams of expanding its physical space in the future to allow for more programs and success stories.

“We’ll expect your call,” remarked Mayor Shawn Pankow following a presentation at last week’s committee of the whole meeting June 22.

This conclusion was following a direct conversation between council members and youth centre staff regarding the needs of the local centre on Main Street. Pankow acknowledged the challenges with keeping its current location maintained and able to serve the growing number of youth who pass through its doors each day. Currently, the centre has 250 youth registered with staff as identified users.

“Right now we’re in desperate need of a new roof,” said Wendy Alford, youth centre board member.

Further details on this need aren’t being made public at this time, as Adam Gariepy, youth centre executive director, explains the need is well in hand.

“Plans are in place to rectify the roof,” Gariepy added. “There is no immediate safety concern.”

Multiple renovation projects that span the entire length of the centre have been completed over the years to ensure the space continues to meet the needs of the youth who participate in programs every day. The challenge is there is very little space left to expand programming to help local youth in any meaningful way.

“We have really big dreams,” Alford said.

She spoke of hiring more staff and implementing a policy that would ensure there are two staff at the centre at all times. The board has also identified a need to expand its operational hours to include the weekends so that more programming geared to the needs of local youth can be offered.

Unfortunately, funding for Jessica Gilliam’s staffing position with Gariepy comes to an end this Friday, but the centre has been lucky to secure summer student funding for the next few weeks.

This individual will join Gariepy at the youth centre next Monday, June 29.

Finding funds to continue operations and staffing of the centre is an ongoing struggle. Alford said the board is currently brainstorming for a new fundraising event that will help the centre

Lil’ drummer boy

obtain consistent funding year after year.

“I’m depending on this community to help us.

I know they will,” Alford said.

The Town of Smiths Falls and Lanark County provide annual funding support that helps keep operating expenses in check. The youth centre also hosts Friday night dances with funds also going towards operations.

Enhancing services at the youth centre would be much easier if the youth centre was in an open concept facility with one office walled out and the remaining kitchen and lounge space available to be re-configured as the programming required it.

Pankow seemed open to sitting down and discussing local solutions to the youth centre’s space issues and welcomed the opportunity to discuss it further at a later time. Pankow congratulated the centre on all the successes, in particular making a real difference in the lives of local youth. Statistics from the Smiths Falls Centre for Youth from last year tells this story dramatically.

In 2014 the centre: • helped 10 homeless youth find a place to live; • conducted suicide intervention for 12 youth; • provided 200 hours of physical activity; and, • served 3,750 healthy meals to youth.

“I think this is some of the most important work I’ve ever done,” Alford said.

She notes some youth will pick up a pasta box from the kitchen when they leave saying their younger siblings will likely not have eaten supper that day. With all these challenges, staff members at the youth centre are amazed at the positive impact many area youth are having in the community.

Pankow noted the success of this year’s Healthy Living Festival would not have happened were it not for 13 local young people associated with the youth centre who came out to ensure all activities ran smoothly for the public.

“That was without any expectation of anything other than a thank you,” Pankow said.

Now, the youth centre needs the community’s help. Alford said the centre would welcome any monetary donations or donation of time where local professionals spend time with youth. Volunteers for dances are also greatly needed, but mostly, Alford said the centre needs the community to stand beside them and be positive advocates for the facility and its work.

Kia topS initial Quality ranKingS For non-luxury brandS brand 1. Porsche 2. Kia 3. Jaguar

Kia was the top-ranking mainstream brand with Hyundai right behind in J.D. Power’s 2015 U.S. Initial Quality INSIDE Study (IQS) results released today. On average, the two Korean brands led those from all other countries by the widest margin ever, while the scores for Japanese brands collectively fell below the industry average for the first time in the 29-year history of the Initial Quality Study.

The annual study examines problems experienced by vehicle owners during their first 90 days of ownership.

Initial quality is determined by the number of problems COMMUNITY news(PP100), with a lower experienced per 100 vehicles score reflecting higher quality. For the third year in a row, Porsche was the highest-ranking nameplate overall in the study, with an average score of 80 PP100. Kia ranked second overall (86 PP100), followed by Jaguar (93), Hyundai (95), Infiniti (97) and BMW (99). Infiniti .CA was one of the most improved brands in the study, lowering its problem score by 31 PP100 from 2014.

Overall, the industry average of 112 PP100 represented a 3% improvement over last year’s average of 116 PP100.

The Korean brands averaged just 90 PP100, an

11% improvement from 2014, while the European brands (113) surpassed the Japanese (114) for the first time and American makes (114) equalled the Japanese for only a second time. Even though the Japanese brands experienced a 2 PP100 improvement from 2014, on average, those from the other countries improved even more. Only four of the 10 Japanese brands included in the study posted an improvement. “This is a clear shift in the quality landscape,” said Renee Stephens, vice president of U.S. automotive quality at J.D. Power.

“For so long, Japanese brands have been viewed by many as the gold standard in vehicle quality. “While the Japanese automakers continue to make improvements, we’re seeing other brands, most notably Korean makes, really accelerating the rate of improvement,” he added.

“Leading companies are not only stepping up the pace of improvements on existing models, but are also working up front to launch vehicles with higher quality and more intuitive designs.”

Community Improvement Plan aims to spruce up commercial core Stacey Roy

Fort Hemlock’s work to introduce an accessible washroom and back area of their Beckwith Street restaurant was highlighted at last Monday’s Community Improvement Plan (CIP) meeting as a prime example of what is possible with CIP support. The washroom didn’t receive CIP funds, but is larger with pull bars and a change table.

sroy@perfprint.ca

Improved accessibility and aesthetics in two commercial hubs in town are now easier to achieve with the launch of the town’s Community Improvement Plan (CIP) program.

Monday, June 22 a handful of property and business owners attended an open house in council chambers to launch the $50,000 CIP program and provide greater detail on how it can help “to really make a difference in the aesthetic fabric of our community,” according to Nicole McKernan, town planner.

While the program looks at six potential categories where building or business owners can get up to 50 per cent of renovation funds covered, the town is focusing on the first three, namely: façade improvements, building restoration/renovation, and reduced planning fees. Town staff emphasized projects dealing with making their properties more accessible will also be most welcome in advance of the 2025 implementation of the Accessibility Act. “Legally, the CIP is the only way municipalities can give money to business owners,” explains Tim Lee, planning student working with the town.

“Accessibility is a concern for most businesses in town,” remarked Mayor Shawn Pankow.

Local business owners, Scott and Shawn Prout of Fort Hemlock on Beckwith Street recently took control of the accessibility of their 1905 building by adding an accessible washroom and access to the patio and dining room area of their facility.

While the owners don’t believe the new washroom has brought in greater foot traffic, it has enhanced the Fort Hemlock experience for those who choose to dine with them.

Stacey Roy/METROLAND

“It makes a difference when they are there and the experience they have in your establishment,” Scott said.

The restaurant is partially accessible due to a 20-year-old renovation where a room was added to the facility, but didn’t line up with the historic elevation. This space is two steps higher, which would require a ramp going into their dining area in order to make it accessible.

“It was not feasible to do that project. No one thought of that 20 years ago,” Scott said.

Lee is conducting some research into ramp solutions for downtown businesses who are challenged with limited front entry space, but said the department would be interested in hearing from the business community on what their potential solutions could be.

“Right now there doesn’t seem to be any true answer. We haven’t found any that are tangible to

date,” McKernan said.

While the local restaurateur took on these changes ahead of the implementation of the CIP, he does own other downtown properties and is interested in looking into CIP for future projects at this location that dates back to 1899.

The town encourages anyone within the DBA corridor or Lombardy Street stripe to submit an application under the CIP. All applications will be accepted except from those in single-family detached dwellings (though multi-residential properties are welcome to apply).

“I’ve already implemented some pre-consultations with some potential landlords,” Lee noted.

This week town staff will be developing a criterion for CIP applications to be evaluated on by the Evaluation Committee. Their recommendations will then go to Council for consideration and approval. Tracey Pankow, president of the Down-

town Business Association inquired into whether or not vacant buildings will be considered for the program. McKernan said this would be a decision of the Evaluation Committee, but added: “Hopefully, long term, we won’t have any vacancy rebates because we won’t have any vacancies.”

Coun. Joe Gallipeau highlighted the 2015 CIP purse, which stands at $50,000 and questioned the true impact such a program will have on the community.

“I don’t think $50,000 will go very far,” he said.

McKernan acknowledged this, but added a start must be made. She added the evaluation committee has been struck and will be reviewing all applications made in hopes of selecting the right combination of projects “that’s really going to show the full extent of what a CIP can do.”

Ultimately, the goal of any CIP is to freshen up commercial areas and encourage business re-location and growth. McKernan noted staff does intend to bring the CIP back each year during budget deliberations with the hope of adding more positive projects to the area over time.

“I look forward to this being an ongoing commitment,” said Coun. Lorraine Allen. “I’m optimistic this is going to catch on and they’ll use it.”

Depending on the success of this initial CIP, McKernan said the town could consider designating other areas in town as CIP zones to provide the same aesthetic improvements. This is the only program available to local businesses for such work with the exception of a signage grant available through Valley Heartland CFDC. To learn more about the CIP please call the town hall at 613-2834124.

Tweed Marijuana Inc. (“TMI” or “Tweed”) (TSXV: TWD), operator of licensed cannabis producers Tweed Inc. and Tweed Farms Inc., and Bedrocan Cannabis Corp. (“Bedrocan Canada”) (TSXV: BED) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement, pursuant to which TMI will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Bedrocan Canada. TMI will be renamed at its annual meeting of shareholders to reflect its evolution as a multi-brand holding company. This acquisition marks the beginning of the structured evolution of the Canadian cannabis sector, and it is intended that TMI’s portfolio of technologies, brands and geographies will continue to expand.

Tweed and Bedrocan Canada represent distinct market segments that appeal to different consumer needs. To meet market expansion demands, TMI will function as a holding company that is uniquely able to respond to these distinct voices, and will increase its ability to grow market share and diversify client acquisition. Specifically, the Bedrocan Canada brand will be sustained and further supported in establishing its leadership with the clinical and research communities. The Bedrocan Canada division, with its unique focus, will continue to operate separately, though in alignment with the other TMI operating divisions.

Tweed represents industry-leading consumer brand power and production capacity. TMI was the first publicly traded, federally regulated cannabis company in North America and has consistently maintained the largest market capitalization in the industry. Bedrocan Canada represents clinical, scientific and research strength, especially as it pertains to strain genetics and stability, advanced automation in cannabis production, and standardization of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

With its Dutch licensor, Bedrocan Canada is the most experienced medical cannabis producer in the world. Uniting Tweed, Tweed Farms, and Bedrocan Canada under TMI creates the organization best positioned to meet diverse consumer needs, engage in clinical research, and build trust with health practitioners and medical regulators.

“We are bringing the two strongest brands in Canadian cannabis under one roof,” said Bruce Linton, Chairman and CEO of Tweed.

“We will continue to develop and grow the Tweed and Bedrocan Canada brands, focusing on rapidly increasing market penetration for our full line of products. Over 5,000 existing customers will now benefit from having access to products from two producers. For future patients and physicians, the choice will be clear.”

“The rationale for and benefits of this transaction are clear, for investors, health professionals, researchers, and most importantly, for patients,” said Marc Wayne, President and CEO of Bedrocan Canada.

“Tweed and Bedrocan Canada have each helped set the industry standards for professionalism, product quality,

dependable supply and exceptional customer care. Together, we will have the largest production and sales capacity in the industry, as well as a broad and complementary product line, and will be capable of allocating additional resources to product research and innovation, as well as to continuous improvement of the customer care experience.”

The current consolidated licensed sales capacity of approximately 6,000 kg/yr will ensure that today’s customers have access to a consistent supply of cannabis across a variety of product lines, with the potential to reach an even greater number of patients, pending further Health Canada approvals at TMI’s three existing facilities. The company will continue to leverage its two stateof-the-art indoor facilities, as well as its greenhouse platform.

Under the terms of the acquisition, Bedrocan Canada shareholders will be entitled to receive 0.4650 common shares of TMI for each common share of Bedrocan Canada held. It is expected that TMI will issue a total of approximately 33.9 million common shares in connection with the acquisition having an aggregate value of approximately $61.0 million based on the $1.80 per share closing price of the TMI shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on June 23, 2015.

In connection with the acquisition, TMI will appoint two individuals designated by Bedrocan Canada to the board of directors of TMI. The acquisition is intended to be implemented by way of plan of arrangement and is currently expected to close by the end of August 2015. Closing remains subject to Bedrocan Canada shareholder approval, court approval, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and an amendment to the terms of Bedrocan Canada’s license agreement with Bedrocan Beheer BV, among other conditions precedent.

Upon closing of the acquisition, Bedrocan Canada will become a subsidiary of TMI. Additional details of the proposed transaction will be provided to Bedrocan shareholders in information circular to be delivered to them in connection with an upcoming special meeting of shareholders to be held to consider the proposed transaction. The Board of Directors of Bedrocan Canada intends to recommend unanimously that Bedrocan Canada shareholders vote in favour of the acquisition.

The recommendation of the Board of Directors of Bedrocan Canada is supported by a fairness opinion provided to its Special Committee by the Committee’s financial advisor Dundee Securities Ltd., to the effect that the consideration is fair to Bedrocan Canada shareholders.

PowerOne Capital Markets Limited also acted as a financial advisor to Bedrocan Canada in connection with the transaction. LaBarge Weinstein LLP acts as legal counsel to TMI and Cassels Brock & Blackwell acted as legal counsel to Bedrocan Canada in connection with the transaction. TMI has engaged GMP Securities L.P. to provide a fairness opinion to TMI in connection with the transaction.

Project Assist provides $5,000 for firefighter training in Montague Staff

Enbridge Gas Distribution is partnering with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council to help Montague Township Fire Service purchase $5,000 of firefighting training materials.

“Enbridge is proud to support Ontario firefighters who share in our commitment to help keep our communities safe,” said Scott Parrington, operations supervisor at Enbridge Gas Distribution, during the June 16 council session.

“We’re proud to support the Montague Fire Service and the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council.”

Enbridge Gas Distribution has been a long time supporter of Project Assist, which is a program that supplements existing training for composite and volunteer Ontario fire departments in the communities where Enbridge operates.

“In a small department like ours, working on strict budgetary restraints, and with the Fire Service in Ontario adopting the NFPA training standards, I can’t thank Enbridge Gas and the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council enough for helping our department purchase firefighting training materials.

This would be very difficult without their help,” says fire Chief Ron Haskins from the Montague Fire Service.

This year’s $100,000 donation will be

shared by 20 Ontario fire departments, including Montague Township Fire Service. Funds will be used to purchase educational materials for firefighters to enhance life-saving techniques.

“Firefighting is a dangerous and unpredictable profession. Regular training is an important part of being prepared for any hazardous situation. Enbridge’s Project Assist improves access to training materials for municipal fire departments and positively contributes to overall firefighter health and safety,” says Ted Wieclawek, Ontario Fire Marshal, Chief of Emergency Management and Chair of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council.

Kathy Ash of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council extended her thanks June 16 to Montague Township for demonstrating their commitment towards making their community a safe place to live.

“The Township is greatly appreciative of the kind donation to assist our firefighters in training. I thank Enbridge Gas and the Fire Marshal’s Public Safety Council for making our firefighter’s jobs safer and less difficult with their generous donation,” says Township Reeve Bill Dobson.

Since the launch of Project Assist in 2012, 80 Ontario fire departments have received additional firefighter training.

Longtime volunteers remember early beginnings of railway museum akulp@perfprint.ca

As the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario (RMEO) celebrates its milestone 30th anniversary this year, it is also looking back at those who helped make those tracks.

People like volunteers John Weir and John Mulkerns, who have spent a combined total of nearly 60 years devoting their time to fostering a love of the railroad locally.

During the recent Doors Open Ontario event June 7, in addition to providing tours of the historic location, RMEO celebrated their anniversary with a cake shared amongst staff, volunteers and friends.

Taking time out of providing train rides to visitors, Mulkerns and Weir reminisced over a slice of cake. Weir, who was actually signature number 17 on the petition to save the railway station 30 years ago, is affectionately known as conductor at the museum. Dressed in a sharp uniform, he said he remembers hearing about the fight to save the station while at an Algonquin College rail show.

“I saw this SOS, Save Our Station, sign and that’s really where it got started,” he remarked. “I just happened to be on the ground floor. Right then, I could see there really was an opportunity to have a museum in Smiths Falls because there’s no doubt Smiths Falls is a railway town.”

Weir said much of the early 1980s were spent ensuring the station was designated as a historical site and securing its purchase for $1. The museum also purchased five acres surrounding the site for future purposes, some of which they now use to house antique rail cars and cabooses.

“The track was going to be taken up (that runs in front of the station) so we had to bite the bullet and buy that main line out front. We were lucky to be able to do that,” he said. “…I used to work on this line back in the 1960s, so I feel right at home here,” Weir added.

Fast forward to today and the museum has laid more track to allow for longer train rides and a better visitor experience for their guests.

Mulkerns first got involved in the museum about 28 years ago by volunteering to help with handcar races. “That led to us creating the Wickham car, where we could take passengers across the road,” he said.

Now a brakeman on the caboose, Mulkerns chose a different path, working in the federal government, but the railroad has always been a hobby.

“I’ve always loved trains since I was a kid. It’s something I got as a child,” he said.

They both find volunteering at the museum gratifying. “It’s fun to show the kids the signals on the switches and the position you should be in so you know you have a clear track,” Mulkerns said.

“It’s an experience in this electronic world that you don’t see often,” Weir continued.

Over the years, Mulkerns and Weir have seen volunteers come and go, but are always hopeful that new blood will turn up to continue the legacy.

“The original mission of Save Our Station is still important…We have to stay within our budget and understand our limitations, but still have to be out there developing property,” Weir said. “That’s pretty important to be able to survive.”

Chimo school receives national recognition Chimo Elementary School has received National recognition for its school commitment to a quality daily physical education program.

Chimo received the 4 stars quality PHE Canada award for outstanding achievement in quality daily physical education. This is the highest award given to a school by PHE. QDPE is a well-planned school program of compulsory physical education provided for a minimum of 30 minutes each day for all students.

QDPE ensures that all children who receive QDPE, have the opportunity to develop knowledge, skills, and habits that they need to lead physically active lives, now, and into the future!

Also of noteworthiness, Michelle Watson received the Rideau Family Of Schools volunteer of the year award, on June first at the North Grenville high School.

This is an UCDSB award given to outstanding volunteers for their contribution to students and schools.

Chimo is extremely lucky to have an amazing volunteer like Michelle, noted principal Carole Dufort in an email exchange.

“She’s the co-chair of our Parent Council, she organizes many fundraising activities, lunches for students. She’s a courageous individual who fought cancer and who gives her energy, time and exemplary dedication at supporting all of our students. We are thrilled that she has been chosen VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR as she a role model and very deserving of this special award.”

Rewards of a staycation are many

M

y guy and I decided it was time to get away. He’s been working on the hacienda for the past month – trimming trees, painting, wreaking havoc on my flower beds, standard stuff. But we didn’t want to go too far. Throwing a dart at the road map, we hit Gananoque, which is less than 100km away.

I love Gan – I worked at the newspaper and the casino. I lived there for a few years. In my way younger days, I even played fastball there. While I worked at the paper, I met a lot of wonderful folks, made some great friends and even had a few sparring matches with some passionate golfers – all because they wouldn’t let women play in their tournament (a fundraiser for the fight against cancer) that ran its course, I learned, possibly because they wouldn’t let the women take part. It was a burr under my saddle back then, and I ran into one of that event’s organizers over the weekend when my guy and I hit Ribfest.

“He couldn’t get anyone to play in it anymore,” Rick told me. “So we suggested we open the door to women, but he wouldn’t hear of it.” Many of the team of five organizers washed their hands of the event, and then it folded Firefighters were busy on Nov. 13, 1971, battling a blaze that raged on Beckwith Street in downtown Smiths like a cheap tent – but it did have a big Falls. If you have a picture you would like to share with “Remember When,” please email ljweir@metroland. run in its heyday raising thousands for the Canadian Cancer Society. com or drop it off at 65 Lorne Street, Smiths Falls, Ont. Maybe they should have let the ladies play after all. I wasn’t trying to pick a fight with him back a decade ago when I first suggested it to him. Many women I know hit a ball better than half the men playing in that tournament. Brooke and Brittany Henderson and the many ProAm players who were in Smiths Falls last month are testament to that.

I’m off on a tangent… back to our staycation.

We were able to book a cabin on the St. Lawrence River just outside Gananoque for two nights. The owner of Horseblock Point is a descendant of the original property owners. She has stories to share about the history of the point including those of horse thieves and treasure chests.

There is a lot to do at the point, in-

Remember When

LAURIE WEIR Weir View cluding swimming, fishing and boating.

Watching the sunset from the most secluded cabin on the lot was pure bliss, especially when accompanied by the soulful call of the loon.

Our Saturday was packed with lots to do in Gananoque as it was the Rotary Club’s Ribfest and craft show in the park. The rain held off and it was a pleasant day to run into many people I knew. I swear my guy was doing the mental eye roll when someone called out my name and another 20-minute gab session ensued.

We even took a trolley ride through town. This was a free venture, supported by local businesses. It was a pilot project to gauge interest in having this running full time in town. The open-air bus was on loan from Kingston’s fleet. We had a volunteer tour guide (co-owner of the new brewery) share the history of the town on the 35-minute trek that hit the highlights, including the waterfront.

Then it was off to check out this new brewery, where we enjoyed a half-dozen samples. Six different flavours are on offer here, but none compared to our regular blends.

After our chicken and ribs dinner from Ribfest, and a stroll back at the cottage, we decided to hit the casino. I hadn’t been there for almost five years, so my blackjack dealer friend told me.

Friends from moons ago, Cheryl was never good to me at the table, so before I could lose what I started with, I walked away.

My guy had some fun at the slots, and after about an hour, we headed back to the peace and quiet of the cottage.

I don’t think we could have packed much more into our mini-staycation. It’s cheaper than jet setting to far off places and a lot less stressful. Canada has the best of many worlds, right in our own backyard.

Pool deserves our support DEAR EDITOR,

The Hub pool deserves our support. I take the aquafit sessions and thoroughly enjoy not only the exercise/health benefits, but the teachers and their positive fun attitude. The many services the pool provides are invaluable to our town and surrounding townships. One lady told us she specifically moved here from more northern Ontario partly because of the pool and its benefits for her arthritis.

This town and the area is very generous in supporting its own, as seen by recent fundraisers. Let’s extend that generosity to the Hub pool that benefits many, both young and older. Also please go to the website, Kraft Project Play, mentioned in a recent article in the paper, to comment on how important the pool can be eligible for this funding grant.

Thank you.

He wishes to dedicate the award to the memory of his wife the late Betty Hale. Ron has strived to maintain the garden she designed. A close look is a must to appreciate all of the features of this beautiful garden. It is located at 270 Wood Avenue. Congratulations to Ron from the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society.

Similar to choosing between contact lenses or glasses, you can decide with your hearing professional which hearing aid style would best suit you. Both styles have approximately the same performance and functions, but are fitted to the ear differently.

It’s almost a shame this technology isn’t more visible!

The new designRITE and Invisible-In-the-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are smaller and more beautiful than ever, striking the perfect balance between size and performance. The elegant and highly discreet designRITE hearing aid fits perfectly on top of your ear, and the thin tube in your ear canal is designed to disappear against your skin.

The new IIC hearing aid--now with wireless technology--provides all of the outstanding features and benefits you want in a digital hearing aid, minus the stigma that came with wearing one in the past.

How Necessary Are Dental X-Rays?

R0013248731_0430

What should you do the next time the dentist tells you he or she is going to take full dental X-rays?

A new study shows that just as porcupines make love very, very carefully, you should also take care to limit the amount of radiation exposure during your lifetime, particularly the amount children receive.

Dr. Elizabeth Claus of Yale University reports in the American Cancer Society Journal Cancer, that there’s a link between dental Dr. Gifford-Jones x-rays and the risk of developing a brain tumour called a meningioma.

These tumours grow from the meninges, the layers of tissue that cover the brain. Fortunately, most meningiomas are benign. Others are slow growing, but they can become lifethreatening when they become as large as a baseball compressing brain tissue. Meningiomas account for 34 percent of Submitted photo all primary brain tumours, can occur at any age and are twice Drew Dubas won the Trustee’s Award Character Al- as common among women as in men. ways, presented by Bill MacPherson, trustee.

Formerly it was believed that the main cause of meningiomas was ionizing radiation due to atomic bombs or radiation received during cancer treatment. Now, Dr. Claus says the main risk is dental x-rays.

Dr. Claus and her colleagues studied 1,433 Americans who had meningiomas with 1350 others who did not have this tumour, but who were of the same age profile, sex ratio and geographical area. The researchers then analyzed the dental and medical history of both groups.

Every Friday 7 P.M. For instance, they were questioned whether their dentist Rotary Collegiate Hall, located in the Collegiate Court Building had ordered standard X-rays, known as bite-wings, every (the former Smiths Falls High School) year, never, or now and then. Finally they were asked if they Come & Have Some Fun… the more people that had ever had braces which involve full mouth X-rays. attend will increase prizes.

None of my children had braces, but most of my grandchildren have had them. The question is how many of them really needed braces and has this practice become a fashionable trend. Is the risk worthwhile if only for cosmetic reasons?

Never accept this rationale if a dental technician says, “Don’t worry, you get more radiation exposure from a day in the sun or flying to the Caribbean”. I agree that today dental X-rays expose patients to less radiation than in the past. But little bits of radiation mount up, particularly when one totals the exposure received from other X-ray tests. Radiation isn’t like an infection that’s cured by antibiotics. Rather, radiation is cumulative and, like an elephant, our bodies never forget the amount received during a lifetime.

I’ve always worried about needless radiation and many years ago one of my columns made headline news. I discovered that some patients were receiving huge amounts of radiation from dental and other X-rays. For instance, some equipment had not been serviced for 15 years! This sparked a major investigation by the government.

Dental X-rays are, of course, required for legitimate reasons. But like anything they can be overdone. So always ask if the X-ray is really needed. No one really knows how much 11:00 AM – 3 PM Every Sunday radiation we can receive before it causes trouble.

Ideally, we should all have radiation cards that show how much radiation we’ve received. Particularly since one of the major tests today is the CT scan that delivers large amounts of radiation. But hell will freeze over before such cards are in general usage.

So what should parents do? I’d agree that markedly crooked 4837 Albion Road teeth deserve to have braces as the radiation dose does not compare with a CT scan.

Brooke Henderson finishes third in first Symetra Tour event as member STAFF

Smiths Falls’ Brooke Henderson, now a full-time member of the LPGA’s development tour, shot a final round 67 to finish at 8-under for the tournament and take home solo third at the Island Resort Championship.

“It was fun,” Henderson said following her round on Sunday. “There was some good holes and some bad holes but overall I was hitting the ball well.

I missed a couple of putts the past two days but I made up for it a little bit today.”

The event, which wrapped up June 28 in Harris, Michigan, was Henderson’s first as an official member of the Symetra Tour. Following her victory last week in South Bend, Ind., Henderson petitioned to waive the minimum age requirement and was granted Symetra Tour membership by LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan.

With her new membership, Henderson was able to get into the field this week based on her Category C status.

The 17-year old will also compete in the Tullymore Classic July 3 to 5 in Michigan.

“I’m really excited that I have the exemption to play out here now and have status and have a Tour to play on,” Henderson said. “I’ve been playing pretty well out here. I have a T2, a win and a third so I’m very happy moving forward.”

Dani Holmqvist of Stockholm, Swe-

Drops out of PanAm Games In a statement earlier this week, Golf Canada announced it will work with the Canadian Olympic Committee to determine who will replace Henderson on Canada’s Pan Am Games team and join Lorie Kane of Charlottetown on the women’s side at the July 16 to 19 championship.

“Since turning professional in December, my goal has been to play in as many LPGA Tour and Symetra Tour events as possible to earn LPGA status

and avoid the Q-School process,” Henderson said in a statement on Monday.

“After winning the Four Winds Invitational last week, LPGA commissioner (Michael) Whan graciously granted me membership on the Symetra Tour which allows me the opportunity to earn my way onto the LPGA. “I am now guaranteed a spot in a professional tournament the week of July 13. Based on my goals for the year, this is an opportunity I cannot pass up.”

The Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears were together for a charity golf tournament that raised a whopping $33,326 for Neil Doef (third from right) in his spinal cord injury rehabilitation journey. Shown here (left to right) are Walt Dubas, assistant coach; Drew Dubas (social media for the Bears); former Bear Zach Senyshyn – drafted 15th overall by the Boston Bruins in last Friday’s NHL Draft; Doef; Ottawa Senators’ defenceman Mark Borowiecki (and also former Bear); and one of last year’s leading Bears’ scorers Kevin Groulx. Hosted by the parents of hockey players who played alongside Doef, the Doefstrong97 group had been planning this tournament for months. From Ottawa Senators swag, to golf packages, hotel accommodations and more, the sponsorship was huge, noted Kristina Cunningham Tam of the Facebook group. “We are over the moon,” she said of the amount.

“This could not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors, players, volunteers and those who donated to our auctions.”

Although this count is facilitated by the Ottawa club, the count area is centred on Manion Corners (southwest of Ottawa) and includes several important butterfly areas such as the Long Swamp and the Burnt Lands alvar.

Burnt Lands Alvar is home to Burnt Lands Alvar Provincial Park and the alvar itself, much of which is situated within Mississippi Mills, is a designated Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI). If you are intrigued by recent attention focused on the alvar and the guided walks on the alvar this spring (focused primarily on habitat and the unique and rare plant species), this event will give you a chance to see the rich butterfly fauna of the ANSI. Jeff Skevington and Peter Hall are the co-ordinators for the count.

You might recognize Peter’s name as he is one of the authors of The Butterflies of Canada, which is the standard ‘go-to’ guide book on Canadian butterflies.

If you wish to participate in the count, meet at the parking lot at the intersection of Dwyer Hill Road and March Road at 8:30 a.m. This is a th

‘child-friendly’ event and is a great opportunity to introduce children to the interesting world of butterflies.

The count goes all day until 4:30 p.m. and this is followed by a meeting, at 6 pm, for a compilation and potluck dinner. All participants are invited to the compilation and it is always a very enjoyable event with great food and fun interactions with a group of real enthusiasts. If you can’t make it to the compilation, arrangements can be made to get your data in sometime during the afternoon before you leave.

There is a $4 charge to participants, to support the publication of the count results. No experience is necessary – the organizers will put teams together on Saturday morning and match up people so that everyone has a chance to learn from the experts. If you have binoculars and a butterfly net, please bring them along. Butterflies may be captured for identification and release. Rubber boots are recommended, as some of the sites have a lot of poison ivy, especially in the Burnt Lands.

The rain date for this event will be Sunday, July 5 at 8:30 a.m. Call Jeff Skevington Friday evening at 613720-2862 if there is any doubt about the weather or for specific questions regarding this event.

Ken Allison is a member and former president of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists and the Ottawa Field Naturalists Club.

Tan-coloured 1947 Oldsmobile with same owner since 1963!

Fifty-two years ago, a teenager at Stayner Collegiate in Stayner, Ontario, became tired of riding the bus to school and purchased a tan-coloured 1947 Oldsmobile torpedo coupe with radio and clock from a local barber for $200. That teenager’s name was Russell Holt, and he still owns that same car today. He is also today the owner of The Lost Channel Inn near Britt, Ontario.

As a teenager, Russell drove the car to school every day and also to school dances and proms. Then the car sat in storage for 22 years. He wanted to drive it to his 25th wedding anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the high school. He filed the points, installed a fresh battery and gas, and the old car fired right up!

The car had seat covers when Russell bought it. He ripped the driver’s side seat cover but his mother very kindly sewed it up again.

The seat covers have never been off. The car has an outside sun visor, and Russell installed purple sex lights up inside the sun visor when he was in his teens. These lights came off a ’55 Chev. He later took them off and his mother threw them out. He bought new ones from a junk dealer who also supplied him with 6-volt bulbs.

Russell’s Oldsmobile now has 70,000 miles on the odometer since it was built new 68 years ago in Oshawa.

The first owner was a farmer near Harriston, Ontario, who sold it to the barber who later sold it to Russell, making him the third owner.

Under the hood is a flathead six cylinder engine with 238 cubic inches cranking out a very respectable 100 horsepower. The transmission is 3-speed manual on the column.

During World War II, civilian productions of automobiles had ceased in February 1942 and did not resume until late 1945. A big demand for new cars had built up, and some buyers had their names on a waiting list for a full year.

You could order a new 1947 Olds in several colour choices: black, three greens, two reds, two beiges, two blues, two grays, and six two-tone combinations. The beige-tan finish on Russell Holt’s ’47 Olds looks just right!

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 pubSubmitted photo lished in my column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD Russell Holt’s 1947 Oldsmobile torpedo coupe. Note cowl vent, an early form of air conditioning. The 4-bar CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE grille was employed by Olds for 1946, 1947, and all series in 1948 except for the new 98 series with new STORIES, 1925 to 1965.” postwar “Futuramic” styling.

Dealerships evolve to suit online shopping consumer trends There is no doubt that the Internet has made its impact on auto shopping.

More and more consumers now complete a great majority of their research regarding a new vehicle acquisition online. However, unlike the rest of the goods and services retail sector, automotive retailers have experienced more challenges in adapting to the virtual world.

Fortunately dealerships, both large and small, have adapted with interactive websites, rapid electronic responses to shopper inquiries, and online inventories that let their customers shop from the comfort of their home or office. There are even pioneers that are setting new standards in the car shopping experience. Consider Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, the makers of high performance electric cars. He has battled the established industry and various US state legislators and now is able to sell directly to consumers. This may not seem like much compared to how the rest of the manufacturer/retail world works, but in the automotive arena it is a very big thing indeed.

One of the most glaring problems with online shopping is you don’t get the chance to touch, feel, smell, and/or operate the product you’re researching.

While this isn’t usually a big drawback with regards to many household, personal, office, or recreational products;

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

it can be a deal-breaker with vehicles.

Of all the customers, family members and friends I’ve known over the years, I can only think of one who didn’t need to road test a vehicle before buying it.

This professional usually stuck to the same manufacturer and when I pressed him on his unusual shopping habits, he replied, “Why do I need to drive it? It’s new. Of course it’s going to be smooth, quiet, and trouble-free!” But for the rest of us, we need to see how we fit in the driver’s seat. How roomy it is for our regular passengers. How easy or hard it is to get things in and out of the cargo area. How it handles on the highway and how easy or hard it is to park. How will it fit in our garage (if at all)?

For first-time buyers there is often a large and unpleasant disconnect when they first visit a dealership expecting to just hop in the model(s) of their

choice and take a spin. It’s not that retailers don’t like to show off and demonstrate their products with all the latest in technology and safety features, they really do. But even with all the changes and evolution in the auto buying process there are some factors that haven’t changed.

Walk up to a total stranger and ask if he or she will let you take a spin in their $35,000 sedan in exchange for letting them photocopy your driver’s license and you can pretty much predict their response. Dealers are in the same boat except they have policies and processes in place to accommodate road tests.

First an employee will take the time to review the vehicle’s operating characteristics on site before heading out for a drive. Then that person will accompany you on your ride, usually in the driver’s seat on the way out, then allowing you the controls on the way

back. Depending on your knowledge of the vehicle and how much driving time you need for your research; this can easily take more than an hour.

This employee is usually paid by commission on sales so if you indicate you aren’t anywhere near the decision point in your trek, but are just still in the research phase, then you shouldn’t be surprised if you get less than an extremely co-operative exchange. None of this takes into account the fuel expended, the risk of damage to the vehicle, nor any distance that may be accumulated on the odometer. Most carmakers have a policy that restricts total travelled distance on a new vehicle to less than 150 km on average. After that it must be registered as a demonstrator starting its warranty clock ticking and reducing its value.

So what’s a consumer to do? Many still hold onto the perception of dealerships as a high-pressure place to shop and there are stores that live up to this image. But there are also retailers that do their best to take the pressure and hype out of the sales process. How to find them? Ask friends, co-workers, or family members. Call a few stores and speak to a sales consultant; you can usually get an idea of how you’ll be treated in person after a short chat.

Check out local rental agencies to see if they carry the make and model you’re

researching. Ask friends or neighbours if they’ll take you for a spin in their new vehicle (if it’s one you’re interested in), or you can be brave and ask that stranger.

On Saturday, July 4, the annual Rockland Ford Poker Run hits the road once again raising funds for breast cancer research. It will start at Rockland Ford and is open to Ford vehicles only. Check the Poker Run website for regular updates at www.fordclassicspokerrun.ca.

RELAY FOR LIFE 2015 Smiths Falls raises $47,900 during new six-hour event Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

This year’s Smiths Falls Relay for Life raised $47,900 for cancer research and funds are still rolling in.

Anita Carley, community fundraising specialist with the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society, said it was a successful six-hour event, with a sock-hop theme.

“We had more families coming out and a lot more children taking part this year, and I think that was due to the fact that we hosted a six-hour event this year,” Carley said. “Money is still coming in.”

She said she hoped to see that number his $50,000 before the finaly tally.

“We wanted to try the shorter relay this year, and we had some participants who really challenged themselves to go the distance,” she said.

They are still collecting feedback from the event and want to enhance it next year.

Lap beads were popular this year with participants earning a bead for every lap completed.

“We were really pleased with the efforts this year,” she said.

One of this year’s team hit the gold level status.

“Cancer Kicking Cousins were the Gold Club winners, raising $10,477.

That’s incredible,” Carley said.

Overall, the society is down a bit from last year’s $59,000 total.

“We’re still hopful that even more will be incoming from our online donations which is open until the end of summer,” she said.

In her Lanark, Leeds and Grenville zones, the amounts raised were down all around, but in total, more than $193,000 was raised, with more coming in.

• St. John Catholic High School’s youth rally raised $51,000; • Almonte-Mississippi Mills collected some $83,000 (which was down from more than $100,000 last year); and, • Brockville’s numbers hit just about $59,000 - down from $115,000 last year.

They also switched to an indoor event this year.

“It’s still an incredible number,” she said. “There are some areas that are still doing some fundraising so we won’t have the exact figures until sometime this summer. At that time, we’ll sit down with the committee and see what worked, what was great, what we can tweek and how we can improve next year.”

The cancer society is already talking dates and times for next year. They are also looking for a theme.

Take action against cancer now!

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

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

patients from accessing cancer medications.

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

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

The 2015 Ram ProMaster City (above) has been brought over from Europe by Fiat Chrysler Auto. The small cargo van is exceptionally civilized and quiet for a commercial van with a steel interior. Below: The barn-style rear cargo doors can be opened without trouble even if a long ladder or other load is mounted to the roof. The interior is also rack and storage system ready.

interior roof line.

All ProMaster City vans are powered by FCA’s 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine rated at 178 hp and 174 lb/ft of torque. It’s mated to a class-exclusive nine-speed automatic transmission.

On the road, the ProMaster City is exceptionally civilized and quiet for a commercial van with a steel interior. Road noises are minimal and the front strut and rear coil spring suspension was firm and comfortable providing very predictable handling. Acceleration is much better than expected and the extra large door mirrors (equipped with lower convex spotter mirrors) made up for the lack of rear and side glass windows.

FCA has taken the opportu-

nity with this refreshed design to eliminate some features that have outlived their usefulness and logic. There is no ‘park lamp’ position on the headlamp switch, neither is there an accessory position on the ignition switch. Cargo doors and front doors lock and unlock with their own buttons on the keyless entry fob, allowing for more cargo security. The rear cargo doors are vertically hinged (for easier use and longer lasting mechanisms) and are split in a 60/40 configuration for access flexibility.

The interior is rack and storage system ready as is the roof for commercial roof racks. The main benefit for barn-style rear cargo doors is that they can be

opened without trouble even if a long ladder or other load is mounted to the roof. Try doing this with a passenger van liftgate and you’ll be reaching for the touch-up paint as most liftgates rise higher than the roof line when opening.

Like the entire line of Ram trucks, the ProMaster City is backed by a three-year/60,000 km basic warranty and a fiveyear/100,000 km power-train plan. If you’re looking to do the work of a full-sized vehicle in a compact package with affordable operating costs, then ProMaster City needs to be in your fleet.

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 Ram ProMaster City I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Fiat Chrysler Auto (FCA).

While many may think that small cargo vans are a relatively new import from Europe, these fuel-saving fitinto-tight-spaces platforms have been around for most of the automotive age with many of them produced on this side of the Atlantic. Fiat Chrysler Auto (FCA) has made the wise choice of bringing over a model that was originally designed as a cargo hauler rather than try to convert a passenger unit.

With the Caravan arriving in a groundup re-design this fall, it’s unlikely it will continue to be offered in commercial trim. The ProMaster city has been sold in Europe and other areas around the globe as a Fiat Doblò Work-Up since 2000.

Here in Canada it’s available in two basic formats; a cargo van with only two front seats and a wagon model with a three-passenger bench just behind the front seats. The ProMaster City starts at $28,495 and goes up only to $30,495 for a SLT wagon model. My cargo van SLT was priced at $29,495 (all prices before destination fees, dealer prep, licensing, taxes, or current incentives).

Shoppers in this market are looking for economical purchase/operating costs, reliability, work capabilities, and flexibility. The ProMaster SLT matches the competition within a few hundred dollars on sticker price and edges out the fuel economy race with an 11.2 L/100 km city and 8.1 L/100 km highway rating. Like its bigger brother, the full-sized ProMaster, vulnerable body areas such as front and rear bumpers/covers have been built in smaller sections to avoid extra collision repair costs. In terms of cargo capacity this urban Ram is a clear winner with a maximum 1,883 lb payload capacity. Again it edges out the competition with a wider floor and taller

Outrageous humour still hallmark of latest McFarlane film

cial insemination is not an option so Ted and Tami-Lynn decide to adopt. During the application it comes to light that Ted is not recognized as a person. He’s considered property.

Ted loses his job, his bank account, and his marriage is no longer recognized by the state.

John figures their only option is to fight it. They hire Samantha (Amanda Seyfried), a hungry young lawyer who’s willing to work for free. Together they sue the state of Massachusetts for Ted’s civil rights.

I’m not going to pretend that Ted 2 isn’t funny. Seth McFarlane is nothing if not quick, and he’s really good at catching you

off guard with his outrageous brand of humour. The thing is it’s nothing I haven’t seen a hundred times watching The Family Guy on television. It’s all the same jokes and bits over and over again. There’s the inexplicable song and dance number, the bizarre celebrity cameos, and even the cut takes to channel-whatever news.

Why would anyone spend $12 to see Ted 2 when you can just watch any four episodes of The Family Guy? Seth McFarlane has managed to assemble or blackmail a fine cast. Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Barth, Giovanni Ribisi and Morgan Freeman are very talented,

I was not a fan of Ted though it’s hard to ignore the fact that it was the largest grossing R rated comedy of all time. So I figured I’d give it another try with Ted 2, which begs the question, when will I learn?

As Ted 2 begins we find John (Mark Wahlberg) is divorced, but Ted (Seth McFarlane) and TamiLynn (Jessica Barth) are getting married. It’s a joyous occasion as one might imagine when a grown woman marries a talking teddy bear. Fast forward a year later, and things are tense between Ted and Tami-Lynn.

They’re fighting all the time until it dawns on them that having a baby will fix everything.

Due to certain health issues artifi-

My Take

and despite all logic and common sense, are in this film. It is a cool touch to find an excuse to have Patrick Warburton and Michael Dorn dress up as The Tick and Commander Worf.

Mark Wahlberg has proven once again he can do comedy.

I’d like to see him do something other than play second fiddle to a talking teddy bear, but I guess his agent knows best.

Seth McFarlane writes, directs and is the voice of Ted. It’s therefore no surprise that Ted sounds and acts just like Peter Griffin.

McFarlane is a one trick pony, but to be fair his one trick has been incredibly successful.

If you’re a huge Family Guy fan you’re used to and already enjoy watching Seth McFarlane recycle the same jokes and bits.

For you Ted 2 will be awesome.

For everyone else you can save your money and just watch a couple of Family Guy episodes.
