Rail line fire shuts down Highway 43 Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Drummond/North Elmsley, Tay Valley Fire Rescue Fire Chief Greg Saunders sorted through the paperwork that piled on his desk since last Wednesday afternoon.

He’s most interested in the several-page log that is time stamped with events that took place Wednesday, July 13, as fire ripped down the CP Rail lines from Glen Tay to Tay Valley Township, scorching approximately 20km of grass and brush along the route.

The chief said he got the initial 911 call at 2:32 p.m.

There were 54 calls in total from fires burning on the tracks.

One of the first calls to come in was from Valerie Goyette of Perth who was travelling home from Smiths Falls on Highway 43.

“We could smell (the fire) before we saw it,” Goyette told this newspaper Thursday morning. “It just kept getting stronger. I thought it was from GIM (Glenview Iron and Metal) but we could see the black smoke as we were driving to Perth.”

She said she then called 911.

“We could see the flames.”

She was one of the first to post to social media to steer clear of the area and to help keep residents safe.

Cause of the fire Saunders said the cause of the fire may have been from the daily train that picks up cars at the OMYA plant, west of Perth off Highway 7.

“We believe it was the train that picks up the cars at OMYA daily… we don’t know how it started or what caused it but we believe it was something from that train… that’s why it was isolated to a certain area and not more See FIRE page SF10

Food for the face

It was a pie-throwing good time at Lombard Glen Golf Course on Thursday, July 14, when members of the community stepped forward to volunteer as targets for a pie throwing competition, raising $360 for the Smiths Falls & District Food Bank. A whipped cream “pie” was available for throwing for $5 a toss, and the targets included Mayor Shawn Pankow, Town & Country Chrysler’s Hugh Colton, Smiths Falls Police Deputy-Chief, Mark MacGillivray, Bob Moir, Paul Harvey, Dave Sherman, Jameison Thompson and John Chatwood. Over the past six years the club leagues have raised $38,000 and collected 12,000 pounds of food for the food bank. Pictured Pankow (centre) laughs as Colton gets caught in the face.

Kemptville is getting one of the electric vehicle charging stations announced by the Ontario government on July 13.

More than 250 locations across the province are being added as part of the province’s $20-million investment to expand charging infrastructure. The Kemptville location is at TSC on County Road 43.Brockville locations are Tim Hortons at 77 William St. and McDonald’s at 2454 Parkedale Ave. A transportation ministry release states that the new network of stations will enable drivers of electric vehicles “…to travel confidently from Windsor to Ottawa or from Toronto to North Bay and within and around major urban centres.

Other charging stations in Leeds and Grenville that were announced on July 13 are to be located in Brockville at the Tim Hortons at 77 William St. and McDonald’s at 2454 Parkedale Ave., as well as the MacEwen station on County Road 2 near the Ogdensburg Prescott International Bridge in Johnstown.

All of the stations in Leeds and Grenville will use a 480-volt system and can charge a vehicle to 80 per cent in about 30 minutes, according to the release.

Some of the new charging stations will use a much slower 240-volt system that is similar to a clothes

Host families needed: Open your hearts to Japanese students Aug. 16 to 27 Lanark County has been a favourite location for international student group visitors from high schools across Japan for more than 15 years and this summer the tradition will continue.

Japanese students from Ritsumekian Uji High School (Rits Uji), located near Kyoto, Japan, will be returning to Lanark County in mid-August to learn about Canadian customs and culture from their friends and local teachers. They will be studying English at Carleton Place High School and have exciting activities planned to explore Canada’s heritage, culture and natural beauty.

This summer, Muskoka Language International (MLI) Homestay will be looking to place more than 65 students in caring families across Lanark County in the towns of Perth, Smiths Falls, Almonte, Carleton Place, Merrickville and Kemptville MLI is look-

ing for Lanark County’s support from local families and need hosts for the Rits Uji program from Aug. 16 to 27.

The visiting students will be a mix of boys and girls aged 17 to 18-years-old.

MLI Homestay is excited to offer this hosting opportunity to new local families as a numbers of students still require a warm and welcoming home for a short stay.

“It is a great way to share Canadian and Japanese culture,” explains Joann Campbell, MLI Homestay co-ordinator. “The host families are like Canadian ambassadors showing the students the Canadian way of life.”

An honourarium is paid to the host family, but Campbell hopes potential hosts look at it more as an opportunity to meet and share friendships, which live far beyond the end of the visit.

“It can be a real bonding

experience. They just enjoy being in a Canadian family and experiencing how we live.

The students go away from it with a better understanding of Canadians,” she said. “It is a great way to share Canadian culture, our open hearts and share our generosity.”

Anyone interested in hosting students or to find out more about fundraising opportunities can contact Jessica Gutierrez at jgutierrez@ mlihomestay.com or call 647882-3244, Joann Campbell at jcampbell@mlihomestay.com or call 613-200-8843.

Do you organize a sports team, youth group or other community program in need of assistance with fundraising?

Partnering with MLI Homestay is a great way to involve your group in a cultural exchange experience, while raising funds for your programs.

Hillier calls for end of cash for access and big money in politics L a n a r k - Fro n t e n a c Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier has called on the government to amend Bill 201 – Election Finances Statute Law Amendment Act, which is currently before a traveling committee, to prevent ministers and other government officials from holding cash-for-access fundraisers with stakeholders under their jurisdiction.

“What we have heard is that our democracy has been poisoned and distorted at the expense of the people of Ontario,” announced Hillier. “I’ll be

working tirelessly to ensure Bill 201 brings an immediate elimination of cashfor-access to ministers and ensure that those in our highest public offices are not using their privileges to cash in for their parties.”

Bill 201 came about after the Liberal Party was caught holding lavish fundraisers with ticket prices in the tens of thousands of dollars. These fundraisers provided union, industry, and corporate stakeholders with coveted access to ministers who oversee their sectors. Unnamed sources have suggested that when

Task force on the future of Canada Post seeks Canadians’ views The federal government’s task force on the future of Canada Post wants to hear from more Canadians about postal services.

The four-member task force is conducting research and preparing a discussion paper.

The result of the task force’s work will be made public when its discussion paper on options is released in September. An all-party parliamentary committee will then consult Canadians on these options during cross-country hearings to take place this fall. The committee will make its recom-

mendations to the government by the end of the year.

Canadians can comment in a number of ways: • Website: Canada.ca/ canadapostreview • Twitter: #CPReview2016 • Instagram: #CPReview2016 • Facebook: https://www. facebook.com/CanadaPostReview/ • Email: TPSGC.ExamendeSPC-CPCReview.PWGSC@pwgsc-tpsgc.gc.ca • Fax: 1-844-836-8138 • Mail: Canada Post Review, CP 2200, Matane, Quebec G4W 0K8

approaching a minister about an issue in their portfolio, they were directed to buy tickets to these high-priced affairs to ensure an audience with the minister.

This resulted in many groups and their issues having the door shut on them simply because

they couldn’t afford the Liberal cover charge.

“One of the core tenets of democracy is equality of opportunity and each citizen having the right to be heard by the government, no matter how affluent or destitute they may be,” Hillier said.

“This Liberal government is out of touch with the people of this province, and out of touch with democracy,” Hillier added.

“They are more interested in filling their party’s pockets and granting favouritism to their wealthy friends than creating a fair, equitable and prosperous

place for all the people of Ontario.”

Hillier has launched a petition calling for the end of cash for access which can be seen at www.randyhilliermpp.com.

COMMENTARY

Plugged in

T

he word “unprecedented” appears in a transportation ministry news release that announced last week that Ontario will spend about $20 million to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Almost 500 charging stations, including one at the TSC on County Road 43 in Kemptville, will be added to create a network that will help address so-called range anxiety concerns about distances electric cars can travel and availability of resources to charge the vehicles. Two others are planned for Brockville.

We don’t dismiss the logic behind improving what is currently available. Ontarians or visitors from outside the province might be more inclined to take longer trips if they know charging facilities are easier to access.

There might be a legitimate tourism component for governments to consider, and we understand the desire to reduce vehicle emissions and create more of a low-carbon economy.

But this trail-blazing effort on the part of the province has a long road to travel before sustainability becomes a legitimate destina-

tion. According to the ministry, there aren’t even 7,000 electric vehicles on the road in Ontario. Even if sales driven by significant tax credits and incentives were to significantly increase that total in the next year, the expense of adding 500-some charging stations at 250 locations still seems to be costprohibitive. To suggest that charging stations will be readily available just like gas stations – as the ministry is doing with the network expansion – is a bit of a stretch.

Perhaps the government is ahead of its time by investing this much of taxpayers’ money into this mode of transportation and the so-called clean technology and infrastructure needed to make electric vehicles a more viable option for consumers. Still, we can also understand why some Ontarians will look at spending $20 million on 500 charging stations and wonder if this might end up being an example of a government that is placing too much emphasis – and tax money – on developing an ideology-based market for a product or service that, in the long run, will never come close to producing the desired effect.

New addition to church pew provided source of entertainment for young Mary Our family sat in the pew next to the very front of the church, which I always thought was a shame because I could never see a thing going on behind me. Mother forbade us to turn around in our seats, and my sister Audrey said the whole back of the church could fall in behind us, and Mother would expect us to keep our eyes peeled straight ahead. I thought the church service long and boring. The time dragged by, and even though Audrey said it was a real sin to let my mind wander away from what the minister was saying, I had no idea what he was talking about.

And so it was with more than a bit of joy the day a very elderly lady moved from the back to the other end of our pew. Mother said she had lost a

lot of her hearing, and through necessity had to move closer to the minister. My brother Emerson said she didn’t know how lucky she was, whatever that meant. I hardly knew the old woman, but I was delighted she was close at hand, because now I had something else to occupy my mind.

That first Sunday, she was already sitting in her seat by the time we piled in beside her.

The seats curved, so I had no trouble looking over in her direction and giving her a good going over. She was like a little bird…a wren...or maybe a robin. She sat with her hands folded in her lap on top of her opened Bible. Mother nodded in her direction, but the old woman either had no desire to be friendly, or there was something wrong with her eyesight

Her skin looked like it had

been drawn tightly across her secretly delighted, I confess, face, and there was no doubt that she had lost her hearing about it, she was going to give and had to move up to the front me plenty to think about during the long service, and I was See MARY page 9

as well.

It looked like someone had just propped her in the seat.

In fact, I wondered if that was what had happened, and I wished at once, that we had been there to see her come in.

Emerson hissed he thought she may have passed away. Mother poked him on the knee to hush him up. But then she opened her purse to take out a little lacy hanky, and a strong whiff of lavender perfume floated over the pew causing Emerson to raise his hand to his mouth

Where is the passion for renewable energy?

DEAR EDITOR:

I recently became aware of a campaign to stop the refurbishment of the hydro-electric facility on the Mississippi River in Almonte. I was struck by the passion shown by the opponents of this project. It is similar to the passion shown by opponents of wind projects in North Frontenac and adjacent municipalities as well as solar projects elsewhere.

Often, people who are opposed to these projects are also very concerned about the environment and global warming. However, I am

not aware of them passionately supporting renewable energy projects, which would help prevent global warming. How can we explain this passion against something but no passion in favour of something, especially when we have been told that global warming will have huge negative impacts on our children and grandchildren? Perhaps the projects being opposed are so bad that it is easy to be passionate about opposing them while there are no renewable

of the church. I soon realized the sinfulness of my thoughts, and asked a quick forgiveness from God for harbouring such ideas.

I had no idea what the minister was talking about that day. I was too engrossed in the old lady in the seat beside us. It wasn’t long before she started to doze off and yet she never moved a fraction of an inch in the pew. But her eyelids slipped down, fluttered open, and then closed again for good. Her eyes looked exactly like a chicken that had fallen asleep in the hot sun; almost transparent, with no eyelashes, and white as the

system, large companies (often foreign) or rich individuals get all the profits. How would community ownership work? There are different possibilities: municipalities, local utilities, or community groups such as co-operatives, could own the projects.

The provincial government is thinking about starting a green bank to help such groups finance large projects. Municipal ownership of large projects

could have a significant impact on the financial health of municipalities as well as providing investment opportunities for individuals. If this model of renewable energy development was a success, then perhaps we would see passionate support for renewable energy projects instead of passionate opposition.

driven snow.

She flew awake when the organist let out a blast for the last hymn. I must say it startled me too, and for the first time, the old lady looked over at us, and issued what passed for a smile. When the service was over, Mother reached across and extended a hand.

Then the old lady opened her purse again, and another whiff of lavender settled around us.

She took a nickel out of her purse and handed it to me, and said it was for being so good in church. I was dumbfounded, and Emerson pushed in beside me, but there was no more money in the offing.

And then Mother, to my horror, beamed at me after I

said my thanks, and told me to go and put it in the offering plate at the front of the church.

I couldn’t believe my ears! The old woman was beaming at me, and I knew I had to do what Mother said, and hand over the nickel. A whole nickel! With a heavy heart I went up to the plate and dropped it in. It was the fastest money I had ever earned, and it was the shortest time I had ever had a nickel in my possession!

It’s about time the NHL focused on real hockey markets It is impossible to predict how any sports franchise will do before they start play. But surely a litany of failures and problems in one particular region would make any league leery about wading into the same waters again?

Not the National Hockey League!

Recently they unveiled their latest expansion location. It is “Sin City” – Las Vegas, Nevada. The yet to be named team begins play in the 20172018 season.

True, the ownership group in Vegas, headed by billionaire Bill Foley, just witnessed completion of a brand new 20,000 seat, state-ofthe-art arena. Located behind New York-New York and the Monte Carlo the multi-use T-Mobile Arena, which officially opened in April, is owned by MGM Resorts International (already a major player in the city) and Anschutz Entertainment Group.

Kathleen and I saw the nearly completed arena when we were in the gambling capital in February.

The modern architecture is lost on me but then again Canadian Tire Centre, the home of the Ottawa Senators, isn’t exactly an award winner in that department either. Try a huge roaster turned upside down!

The complex can easily be seen from the glitzy Las Vegas strip meaning it fits the mould of new

sports facilities with its downtown location. Never mind that the Las Vegas Monorail doesn’t run anywhere near the place. Well, to be honest, with the exception of the gargantuan convention centre, the elevated monorail in Vegas doesn’t really run anywhere!

Still, if the parking facilities are too expensive (not surprisingly parking in downtown Vegas is at a premium) sports fans can always take a taxi. Outside of London, England I have never been in any city with so many cabs. It is mind boggling.

It was a cabbie who gave us our first good look at the city’s NHL arena. He was outstanding and we were fortunate that the lengthy taxi queue at McCarran International Airport yielded such a congenial driver. As he whisked us to our hotel on the strip he inquired about our nationalities. On learning we are Canadians he brightened further saying, “Geez, I’ll have to show you our new NHL arena.”

At the time the franchise had yet to be awarded. Turns out his optimism was well placed! Another point in his favour: he had heard of the Ottawa Senators.

The chap then offered that although he is of Hawaiian extraction, he was born and raised in Milwaukee. “We have hockey there.

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Have you heard of the Admirals?”

I assured him I had. Interestingly the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League (they were previously a member of the former International Hockey League) are the main affiliate of one of the few successful NHL franchises in the US south, the Nashville Predators. Admirals have been Preds’ AHL affiliate since Nashville joined the NHL in 1998.

No prediction I asked our gregarious cabbie if he thought the NHL could be a success in a city like Las Vegas.

“I honestly can’t say,” he offered.

“But an awful lot of Canadians come down here. Maybe that will do it for ‘em?”

It’s true, maybe the Las Vegas team will be a huge hit in the Nevada desert? But the reality is that the city has never hosted a major professional sports franchise. So you would think that might concern

the NHL brain trust?

Baseball is “America’s game” but the Major Leagues have never settled in Las Vegas, despite the dry climate and cooler desert nights.

The city is home to Las Vegas 51s (formerly the Stars) of the Triple A Pacific Coast League. They are currently the main farm team of MLB’s New York Mets of the National League.

A very bad match-up for Mets who are forced to fly their minor league players to and from distant Las Vegas every time they want to make a line-up change.

The reality is that no MLB team wants to place its Class AAA team in Vegas because it isn’t really a baseball town. The Toronto Blue Jays, whose affiliate was previously located in the entertainment capital, couldn’t get out fast enough!

When the Mets inexplicably decided not to renew their affiliation with Buffalo Bisons of the International League, following the 2012 season, Jays gladly filled the opening. Now they can recall a minor league player within hours.

The current Vegas minor league ball team is nicknamed the 51s due to the city’s proximity to Area 51, part of sprawling Nellis Air Force Base which has such a mysterious past. Area 51 is called “the Extraterrestrial Highway” due to the alleged

alien activity in the remote location.

The team’s logo jokingly depicts one of the “grey aliens” which, according to UFO believers, occupy Area 51.

To me the word “alien” is perfect to describe the NHL’s current fixation on Las Vegas. Putting an ice hockey team in the middle of the desert seems bizarre to me! And yet the league has “warmed up” for their latest experiment by holding their annual awards ceremony in Vegas each June for several years.

For whatever reasons the New York-based NHL and Commissioner Gary Bettman (who recently agreed to a seven-year contract extension) are more focused on expanding to cities in the American south which has hardly been a hotbed of success for the league.

Left on hold following this latest one-team expansion is Quebec City, a far more traditional hockey market in a Canadian city where the league has enjoyed some past success.

True, both Quebec City and Winnipeg previously lost their NHL clubs to American cities. But both centres were plagued by “small market syndrome.” It is sometimes difficult to succeed in smaller centres because corporate sponsorship See MAGUIRE page 19

Now’s the time for succession planting in the vegetable garden Now that the early vegetables are being harvested it is time to plant again. Lettuce, radish and spinach have probably bolted in the extreme heat in recent weeks, Green onions are developing their bulbs and are no longer mild tasting.

So, plant again. Call it succession planting or second cropping. It extends the harvesting and you get fresh, tender veggies.

Every three weeks plant a few dozen onion sets to have a continuous supply of green onions. Lettuce and spinach, being a cool season lovers can be successful if planted in the shade of taller plants, such as staked tomatoes or corn.

Make sure the soil is damp and cover the area with a board so germination can take place. Lift it as soon as you see sprouts green and yellow beans, planted at three week intervals during the summer will give a supply of tender beans and if you leave some to mature

– a huge requirement in modern sports today – is harder to come by. Building modern facilities is also challenging because finding major investors is more difficult in small markets.

Thrashers relocated Still, Winnipeg re-entered the league when the Atlanta Thrashers, another failed southern US franchise, were moved to the Manitoba capital in 2011.

A strong Quebec City ownership group has also applied for re-admission to the league.

The Quebec capital enjoys the added advantage of already having a new arena complex in place. But no, their bid has been put on hold by the NHL who cited the lower Canadian dollar as one of the reasons for delaying the Quebec bid.

Meanwhile Bettman and company continue to prop up a wholly unsuccessful franchise in Phoenix as well as questionable operations in suburban Miami (Florida Panthers) and Dallas (the Stars).

Even in southern US centres where hockey has enjoyed some recent success,

and dry on the plant you can use them as dried beans in winter or save for next year’s seed.

There are four types of peas. Snow peas are harvested when the pods form with immature peas inside and the pod is still flat. The whole pod is eaten. Sugar snap peas are also eaten whole when the peas plump the pods, green peas, such as green arrow, are shelled. It is interesting the know that green peas were considered poisonous for many years.

Lastly dried peas, left to mature and dry on the vine are great in soup.

Peas do best when given support to climb on. A double row with fencing in between will yield well.

Mulching to keep the roots cool is beneficial. Peas can also be replanted for later

harvesting.

Second plantings of zucchini, kohlrabi and bok choi, will extend your harvest. Even carrots and beets planted now will produce sweet, crisp crops before frost.

Corn, another favourite vegetable, can be enjoyed for many weeks by planting seeds every couple of weeks.

My main potato patch is now in bloom and I’m happy to say I have not seen any Colorado potato beetles yet. I plant in a different location each year and since no nearby neighbours grow potatoes the bugs have not found my garden.

I love little golf ball-sized potatoes fresh from the soil so I am planting a few more to enjoy in the fall.

So, a gardener’s work is never done. The dry weather makes things very challenging but I marvel how resilient plants are.

Tampa Bay (Lightning were admitted at the same time as Ottawa) and Nashville, the sport operates in an entirely different environment. Canadian snowbirds are huge factors in keeping Lightning and Panthers alive in Florida.

Preds’ on-ice success in recent years has really boosted their fan base.

Yet compare the price of an NHL ticket in Ottawa, for example, with the cost of a seat in Phoenix or even Nashville.

When I first went to what is now Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville, in the fall of 2007, you could buy a Predators’ ticket for as little as $19.95. I’m sure the cheapest tickets cost more now. But there’s no comparison to be drawn between the cost of NHL tickets in Canada and the US south.

I was told by an NHL fanatic I know that at one very low point in the difficult Coyotes’ saga the Phoenix club was handing out tickets for as little as $5, just to get bums in the seats. The team certainly hasn’t turned the corner yet from all accounts and Phoenix is a much larger city than Las Vegas.

So, why Las Vegas? The NHL is the first of the four

major sports leagues in North America to locate in a city that is best known for entertainment, shopping and gambling – in that order. The only major sport in the city up to now has been boxing.

If Bettman and company had any foresight or vision they would create a European division. NHL hockey could be very big in Europe where the sport already sells in several countries. Instead the league continues to focus on American markets where hockey has such a low profile compared to other sports.

As a hockey fan I think the NHL has got it all wrong.

Quebec City or somewhere in southwestern Ontario is eminently better markets for the league.

At best, putting an NHL team in Las Vegas will create mild curiosity. How many visitors will trade the theatres, restaurants, shopping complexes and casinos to attend a hockey game in the desert?

It remains to be seen. But if I was a betting man I wouldn’t put money on Las Vegas as a hockey hot spot!

The Marrieds share folk traditions this August at The Branch in Kemptville A boy fighting leukemia. A man’s love for his Harley Davidson. A couple growing older together, counting their blessings. They are human stories, and they are the heart of Fire in the Flame – the third full-length CD from London, Ontario’s Jane Carmichael and Kevin Kennedy, better known as The Marrieds. “Folk music is all about stories, and four of the nine songs on the CD were written because people asked us to share their stories about their lives or loved ones,�

Carmichael says. “All of the stories touched us. It was fun and rewarding to put those emotions and memories into songs that we hope will resonate with other people. We’re really honoured to connect with our fans that way.�

Carmichael and Kennedy are indeed a married couple. They be-

came The Marrieds in December of 2010, when they posted three snow day songs on YouTube during London’s infamous “Snowmageddon� of that year.

The songs were viewed more than 10,00 times in just a few days, and captured the attention of CBC radio, which made them the Sound of the Day across Canada.

Since then, the band has established a melodic and wistful folk tradition with their much-loved Snow Song Trilogy EP (2011), their self-titled debut CD (2011), and its celebrated follow-up Saving Hope (2013).

Fire in the Flame is the latest chapter in their own musical story.

It was recorded at Swamp Songs Recording Studio in Lucan, Ontario with producer Matt Weston.

The CD features the vocal harmo-

nies and playful lyrics that the band is known for, taking listeners on an emotional journey through the lives of many memorable characters.

The title track was particularly personal for Carmichael. “Fire in the Flame is a reminder of why we should cherish the good days, and how fragile those moments are,� she says. “My father has Alzheimer’s and I wondered if in the very beginning he knew his mind was starting to go.

I wrote it from that perspective.�

The Marrieds have charmed audiences all over Canada. They have shared the stage with luminaries including Kathleen Edwards, Bahamas, Danny Michel, Peter Katz, Lennie Gallant, Ian Thomas, and many others. They will tour in eastern Canada and Ontario this summer.

“As much as we enjoy recording, it’s always exciting and gratifying to play our music live and watch people react,� says Kennedy. “We love sharing that experience, and we’ve been lucky enough to do that for some great audiences in beautiful venues over the past few years.�

In 2014, The Marrieds won the Jack Richardson Music Award in the folk/roots category, as well as the CHRW Juried Local Album of the Year Award. They have also been

nominated for awards including the Canadian Folk Music Awards Vocal Group of the Year (2014) and the Toronto Independent Music Award in the Folk/Roots category (2012).

The duo will perform locally on Aug. 5 at The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill (15 Clothier Street East) in Kemptville. Tickets are $10 and the show starts at 9 p.m.

For more information, visit the band’s website at www.themarrieds. ca.

Beat the heat safely with CSA Group’s summer pool safety tips Summer has finally arrived, and as the days get longer and hotter, homeowners will be using their pools more to beat the heat. To help stay cool in the pool, CSA Group, a leading standards development organization and global provider of testing and certification, offers these tips for pool safety: • Block it off. Erecting a pool-side fence will prevent young children from gaining access to pools without designated supervision present.

• Sound the alarm. A pool alarm sounds when it detects an object breaking the surface of the water.

These should be used in combination with self-closing, self-latching gates for maximum safety.

• Don’t go down the drain. Never sit on a drain cover as powerful suction can lead to serious internal injury or entrapment! Fingers and toes are easily caught on drain covers, leaving the most competent swimmers helpless.

Submersion in water for even a minute can cause serious harm to swimmers.

To avoid accidents, replace poorly-

however separate homes would be OK too. Candy might be an escapee, as every time the store bell rings she runs to the door to see who is there and tries to venture out. Please give these two a loving home, you’ll be having a lot of fun with both of them.

Leo Hey there, my name is Leo. I am told that I am a mix of Greater Swiss Mountain dog/Rottweiler/Boxer whatever that means. They’re not too sure about which genes I have, but I

am cute as a button.

I am a very curious guy and love the company of other dogs and people, big and small. At my foster home I have a bedroom they call a crate. It is very comfortable for sleeping at night and if I get tired during the day and need some down time I trot off to my crate for a nap. At other times I really enjoy curling up beside my foster parents on the sofa.

My foster family takes me out every three hours or so during the day, house training is what they call it. I

made, non-functioning, defective or broken drain covers before they become a hazard.

• Keep it moving. The CSA Group Standard for Children’s Playspaces and Equipment outlines the need for equipment to drain effectively so that water is not trapped or collected. Standing water creates drowning hazards and can become a breeding ground for bacteria and mosquitoes.

• Keep the trap shut. Make your pool safer by installing anti-entrapment drain covers and also in your hot tub and whirlpool. A safety vacuum release system for entrapment emergencies will automatically stop suction and shut down the pump. All covers and emergency releases should be certified by an accredited testing and certification organization.

• Float away. Not everyone can swim, so make sure you can provide appropriate floatation devices. Keep a life jacket and other safety flotation devices close to the pool so that everyone can have fun and stay safe.

• Clear the cover. A soft pool cover can heighten the risk of drowning for young children, who can slip and become trapped underneath it. Children can also drown in water that has collected on top of pool covers.

• Dry up. If you use a pool or spa cover, follow all instructions for their safe installation, use and maintenance.

Always remove a cover completely before using the pool, and do not let standing water remain on top; pump it off.

• Tie it back. Pool pumps and drains use suction to keep your water clean, but they can also be powerful enough to hold swimmers underwater. Make sure long hair and loose clothing is tied

am quite pleased to say that it is going really well. I last about six hours at night before I have to ask to go out as by then I really have to “go” you see.

They tell me that pretty soon I will be able to sleep right through the night.

I love to play with lots of toys. I just can’t get enough of it. I can spend hours playing then it’s off to my bed for a nap. I understand that this is my temporary home so if you think we might be a good match then call the shelter at 613-283-9308 to make an appointment to meet me. You won’t be disappointed.

Wish list LAWS is currently in need of quality canned kitten food (Presidents Choice, No Name or any other brands); Pedigree canned dog food; Presidents Choice non-clumping cat litter or any other non-clumping litter; medical weight scales for dogs and cats; metal medical exam cabinets; cat scratchers for cages (available online at www.stretchandscratch.com); liquid laundry detergent; bleach; snow shovels; baking soda; window cleaner; paper towel and toilet paper.

Ongoing office supplies needed are: stamps, printer cartridges (HP 8610), legal and non-legal printing paper, plastic clipboards and gift certificates (Staples, Canadian Tire, Home Depot, TSC, Home Hardware and Walmart).

Look for the certification mark. Ensure that all electrical pool parts (lights, pumps, heaters, etc.) are properly certified by an accredited organization such as CSA Group. Hot tubs and whirlpools should also be certified.

Every hotel suite has a story to tell, some more than others Neil Simon’s delightful comedy London Suite, which opens at the Studio Theatre in Perth this Thursday (July 21), is full of wonderful characters. But in many ways the central character isn’t a person at

all – it’s a posh English hotel suite that plays host to an assortment of people having a variety of life experiences.

Think of it as a room with a point of view.

What sort of people find themselves in London, in a swanky hotel suite, in a Neil Simon comedy? How about a writer, holding his agent hostage for the money he feels he’s owed? Or a former actress who’s in

town to promote her new TV series, just as her ex-husband shows up asking for money for his gay lover.

London Suite is four individual stories – with the swanky hotel room as common denominator – that look at the lives, loves and laughs of four relationships. And it does so with Neil Simon’s patented wit, wisdom, and uncanny grasp of what makes people tick.

Telling great stories takes great actors, and director David Parry has assembled the Studio Theatre’s best, including Joanna McCauley Treffers, Jennifer Pfitzer, Janet Rice, Grey Masson and Martin Treffers – each with two roles – and Jerry Logan, plus Lucas Tennant in a lastact cameo.

Don’t miss London Suite when it premieres July 21 at Perth’s Studio Theatre for seven performances.

Tickets are $22 at The Book Nook, 60 Gore Street E. in Perth (cash only) and at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St. (shadowfax.on.ca; 613-267-

The Ontario’s Highlands Wanderer hits the road to uncover local stories Chasing a desire to experience an unrehearsed day, the brand ambassador for Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO), Carly Freeman, is heading back out on the road this summer under the pseudonym The Wanderer. She’ll be enlisting the help of local storytellers who will travel with her, letting their days unfold before them based solely on the answer to one age-old question: heads or tails?

“I’ve travelled to each corner of Ontario’s Highlands and everywhere in between, but this journey is different,” says Freeman. “This time, I’m setting out to capture the authentic, unrehearsed moments that truly shape a person. I’ll be sharing the stories of our region and introducing viewers to people who have taken their passions and turned them into a unique attraction,

as together we uncover Ontario’s Highlands’ coolest experiences and best kept secrets.”

The Wanderer will be helping others discover what it means to wander; to trust to find exactly what you need, when you need it. She’ll bring her knowledge of the region, along with her expertise of stepping off the beaten path, and will rely on the flip of a coin to determine her destinations. Freeman will be sharing her journey through a video series, titled Unrehearsed Day, to be launched on July 25 on her blog www.comewander.ca.

Attendees at Calabogie Peaks Resort’s Under the Stars Movie Night on July 23 will be treated to an exclusive sneak-peek of Freeman’s first adventure as The Wanderer makes her debut. In addition to the videos, supporting stories will be shared through

www.comewander.ca, detailing her unexpected moments of self-discovery, delving into what it means to truly wander, and highlighting some of the hidden gems found across Ontario’s Highlands.

“This is not your average travel blog of what there is to see and do,” says Freeman. “Instead, this is a blog about self-discovery and the experiences that shape you, influence you, and guide you towards your greatest self. No itineraries, no expectations, no judgement; just the openness for an experience and the faith to go where the flip of a coin leads us. Literally.”

The creation of The Wanderer blog and video series is one of the first activations for OHTO’s Come Wander branding, which was unveiled to stakeholders across the region in the spring of this year.

The new brand strategy fully

‘I’m maxed out’ – looking beyond RRSPs For years, you’ve invested in a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) – good for you, an RRSP is the best tax-saving, income-building investment vehicle for most Canadians. And to get the most in immediate tax savings and to maximize the potential long-term growth of your RRSPs, you always make your maximum allowable contribution each taxation year.

But with all of that taken care of, what do you do now? Let’s look at money-saving and financial growth options beyond your RRSP. Contribute to investments held in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) It complements your RRSP because investments within a TFSA grow tax-free. You can currently contribute up to $5,500 in new money to a TFSA each year and get your contributions and accumulated income out at any time, for any purpose, tax-free. However, there is no deduction against your taxable income for TFSA contributions.

Add to your non-registered investments With your RRSP and TFSA topped up, consider adding your tax refund to your non-registered investments. The most tax-efficient strategy is to hold your fixed-income investments in a RRSP or TFSA, and stocks and equity mutual funds in a non-registered account (to the extent your investments exceed your RRSP and TFSA contribution room). This is because RRSP withdrawals are included in your taxable income in the year of the withdrawal and are taxed at your marginal tax rate, but stocks and equity mutual funds held in a non-registered account are taxed at a more favourable capital gains inclusion rate when you dispose of them. As well, dividends from most Canadian corporations are eligible for the dividend tax credit.

Pay down debt It’s a fact: Simply paying down debt delivers a risk-free, after-tax return which may be comparable to many investments. Start with costly, high-interest credit card debt and

Manage Your Money then pay down non-deductible debt such as your home mortgage – a single prepayment could save hundreds, even thousands of dollars in interest payments.

For parents and grandparents Establish and contribute to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) for your children or grandchildren.

An RESP is the most effective way to create an education fund that grows to offset the future cost of education.

For (some) business owners It can make sense to build a retirement investment portfolio inside your company instead of paying out that corporate income to a shareholder. The company can also fund an Individual Pension Plan (IPP), which has the potential for greater tax-assisted savings than through RRSPs or Defined Contribution pension plans.

Be aware, however, that these business-related options require careful planning and the guidance of financial and legal professionals.

There are tax and income-building advantages and disadvantages to each of these “beyond RRSP”options. You need to look at them in relation to your overall tax situation and financial objectives. Your professional advisor can help you make the right decisions for your unique situation.

Oliver’s Landing in peaceful times: Artist Edward Burrowes Fondes sketched the little settlement of Oliver’s Landing in 1834, twelve years after the events depicted in the musical Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing, running Aug. 5 to 21 at Full Circle Theatre in Perth.

Looking upstream toward Bytown, the little white cabin on the right (south) side of the lake may be the Oliver’s original cabin, where nefarious deeds took place in the early days of the Perth Military Settlement.

Submitted illustration

Legendary musical returns to the stage for Perth’s 200th anniversary The last time Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing was on the stage in Perth, Brian Mulroney was Prime Minister and the Canadian dollar was sitting at $0.77 US. Well, something has changed, at least.

It was also the final major production mounted by Perth Summer Theatre, a professional summer company that ran in various venues in Perth from 1983 to 1994. Struggling without a permanent theatre building in town, that company was rolled into a new community theatre in 1995: BarnDoor Productions, who have not only built on the excellence of their predecessor, but continued it for 22 seasons – and created their own permanent theatre space, the Full Circle Theatre.

Ghost Stories was, by any standard, a “hit” in 1992, playing to more than 1,700 patrons in August, in the un-air-conditioned PDCI auditorium. Before that, its premiere production in August of 1984 had drawn more than 1,100 to the even less airconditioned agricultural building at the Perth Fairgrounds. The reason for that kind of audience response is quite simple: Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing is simply an astonishing show.

Based on a story from the very early days of area’s settlement, it tells the tale of the first ferryman at what is now Rideau Ferry and how he and his wife enhanced their fortunes. It is, according to CBC Radio, “grim, clever, funny... thrilling, indeed!” And, it’s written about, for and by the community.

Ghost Stories is a full-on, Broadway-style musical, with a cast of fourteen and a score written for an orchestra of ten. It is full of drama and humour and intense, exciting music, as has been the entire Perth 200 series that BarnDoor has brought to the stage this year, with The Last

Deadman, a drama with music about Perth’s famous duel in June and The Great Perth Temperance Soiree, a musical vaudeville about the rise and fall of the Temperance Movement in Perth in the 1800s.

It’s a “legend” play, taking the few facts that are known about John Oliver, the ferryman, and his family and rolling them into a cohesive story that tells the astonishing (mostly) true story of why the name of the hamlet has been changed twice since then – from Oliver’s Landing to Rideau Landing to Rideau Ferry. It’s an “environmental” play, too, that encloses the audience in the atmosphere of the show, covering them with the sounds of the woods and the lake and the sometimes frightening environment in which the first generation of the region’s settlers were just beginning to make a mark.

Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing will run Aug. 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 7, 14 and 21 at 1:30 p.m. at the air-conditioned Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Note the earlier summer starting times. Tickets are $20 reserved; $22 at the door; students $10 any time. To reserve, or for more information, simply call 613-267-1884 or visit www.barndoorproductions.ca.

No credit cards required; cash at the performance is requested.

Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing is a show that has proven its worth in multiple productions in the past and is a fitting capstone to BarnDoor Productions’ summer-long celebration of their community and its history. Join them, celebrate with them and experience Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing. It’s true (mostly); it’s gripping (always); and it’s entertainment that you won’t forget for a long time.

Special effects dazzle in Ghostbusters reboot MOVIE: Ghostbusters STARRING: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Chris Hemsworth and Neil Casey DIRECTOR: Paul Feig RATED: PG I took my daughter to see Ghostbusters. She really enjoyed the original films, and wanted to see the new one.

She wasn’t really aware of the controversy around it. To her it was just a new Ghostbusters film, and she loved it.

Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) gave up believing in ghosts to pursue a career teaching ‘real’ science. That is until Ed Mulgrave (Ed Begley Jr.) comes to Erin looking for help with a ghost problem. He has a copy of a book she co-wrote with Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy) all about ghosts. Erin doesn’t need this because she’s trying to get tenure, but that doesn’t stop her from going to see Abby.

Abby is hard at work with her new partner Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon) on proving all those theories about ghosts her and Erin had. The three investigate Ed’s little ghost problem only to come face to face with a real ghost. Every-

My Take

MARK HASKINS

thing they thought was theoretical just became practical.

The three begin investigating more occurrences.

They’re joined by Patty (Leslie Jones) who had her own supernatural encounter while working for the NYC Subway. They hire Kevin (Chris Hemsworth) to be their receptionist. The only question is where are all these ghosts coming from?

It turns out local genius and nut job Rowan North (Neil Casey) is behind it all.

He plans to break the barrier between worlds, and unleash the undead on New York. It’s going to take Ghostbusters to stop him.

I’ll admit I wasn’t thrilled that this was a reboot. I wanted it to be a sequel. After seeing it I’m not so bothered.

First off, the special effects were dazzling. The ghosts and the proton beams have never looked so good.

Secondly it’s fall-off-yourseat funny. Thirdly Ghost-

busters has some seriously slick action sequences. The fight scene between the Ghostbusters and the hordes of undead is worth the price of admission all on its own.

Lastly there’s the cast.

These four women are some of the funniest people alive. Kate McKinnon plays the mad scientist full tilt from beginning to end. I never knew what she was going to do or say next, all I knew is I was going to be laughing. Leslie Jones is a force of nature. She delivers lines like lightening and each one funnier than the last. Kristen Wiig is hysterical when she’s the serious scientist, or when she’s drooling over Kevin, or when she’s busting ghosts.

Lastly Melissa McCarthy nails it once again. She’s never not funny.

A lot of ignorant fools came out against this film before they even saw it. After seeing it I can say these four women were awesome.

Ghostbusters was awesome.

Best of all was how it paid respect to the past with almost every original cast member making a cameo including a bust of Harold Ramis. The fools can shut up now.

Mud, sweat and fun coming with Urban Jungle Obstacle Challenge Aug. 7 Amy Hogue

Don’t be alarmed if you catch sight of hundreds of muddy, sweaty runners tearing through Smiths Falls on Saturday, Aug. 7, it’s not the zombie apocalypse, it’s something far more exciting – the first annual Urban Jungle Obstacle and Fitness Challenge. More than 60 community sponsors have made this event possible, and 250 registrants have already signed up to take part in the event.

Event organizer John Maloney has been working tirelessly on the project for months, coordinating the construction of the obstacles, planning the route and initiating registration.

The obstacle challenge is a fundraiser for Lower Reach Park, to replace the old Participaction obstacles the town recently removed, and to replace them with other equipment.

“It would be nice to put something back there,” Maloney said of the now vacant space.

The obstacle challenge offers a choice between two challenging courses, a 5km and 9km distance that will include obstacles like trains, walls, stairs, water, mud, roads, and hills.

The race route will start at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre and will take participants through the skate park, to the train museum, through a mud obstacle at 91 Cornelia St., down James Street to the beach at Centennial Park, past the water tower, down Main St. to Beckwith and then under the bridge and through Lower Reach Park.

Maloney explained the event will be similar to the Spartan run, but

with a more family-friendly theme, with no barbed wire and electric fence components to the race. There will be 25 to 45 obstacles on the course, depending on the distance selected, and runners can expect to experience “mud, mud, mud.”

“It’ll look like a zombie apocalypse with all the people running through town covered with mud,” Maloney said, adding that everyone is invited to participate in the event; it’s not geared for elite athletes only.

There will be an elite race offered as part of the event, but it’s scheduled to start at 1 p.m., a change Maloney noted from the protocol often used at other races, where the elite athletes compete first.

This doesn’t make sense to Maloney who pointed out the elite athletes then get to compete on a pristine course, without the mud that would make the course more challenging.

“Most racers are just everyday people going out and having fun and having a feeling of accomplishment,” Maloney said, noting there is a really good atmosphere at obstacle challenge events like the Urban Jungle.

“After every race is done people are cheering and helping people over obstacles.”

Race participants are in the running for cash prizes for the top racers, and every runner will receive a medal and t-shirt.

Draws will also take place throughout the day for jackets, gift cards and running shoes.

Smiths Falls town council will be taking its time in matching any municipal funds contributed by neighbouring municipalities for the Gallipeau Centre pool.

Kathy Gilligan, chair of the Smiths Falls and District Aquatic Recreation Centre (SFDAR), made a presentation before a special town council committee of the whole meeting on Monday, July 18. The SFDAR replaced the former The Hub group, and “we are now operating the community pool,” said Gilligan. The Hub had a “well established membership and patronage,” and that membership was honoured when SFDAR took over this past June, which she said led to “a smooth transition for all.”

One aspect of the ‘smooth transition,’ that she wanted to see continue on council’s part, was to continue to uphold the agreement it had made with the now-departed Hub, to match funding promised by neighbouring townships. By her estimation: * Rideau Lakes Township contributed $6,000. * Montague Township contributed $12,000. * Merrickville-Wolford contributed $12,000, half of it earlier this year, the final $6,000 on Sept. 1.

So far, Smiths Falls has matched the money promised by Rideau Lakes, while it has not matched M e r r i c k v i l l e - Wo l fo rd ’s amount. Montague council was meeting later that same evening and she had heard from Reeve Bill Dobson that “he hopes to arrive with a cheque. He’s that confident,” she said. By her calculations, she hoped that Smiths Falls would follow through on $24,000 in matching funds.

Gilligan also submitted a business plan to council late Friday evening, on July 15, which outlined how SFDAR wanted to reduce costs and maximize efficiencies. They have entered into an agreement with Pools 2000 for required chemicals, and Tom Burchill will be providing pool maintenance on an “asneeded basis.”

Starting on Tuesday, Aug. 2, the day after the long holiday weekend, the pool will have a new supervisor, and they have also applied for a FedDev Canada 150 grant

on June 24 - a deadline she ply to be on there,” Coun. chaired the meeting, said meeting that very evening, was proud to say they had Dawn Quinn informed Gil- that he was not support- and, rather dealing with it met, having only taken over ligan. ive of the proposal going at the next committee of the the pool on June 21.

Coun. Jay Brennan, who forward to the full council whole meeting on Monday, She said she wanted to see a “fully transparent, nonprofit group operating our community pool,” she said.

“The Hub no longer exists…

It has declared insolvency.

That is all I can say. Bankruptcy will be declared.”

One reason why she anticipates SFDAR succeeding where The Hub failed is that they have no debt load, which hobbled The Hub significantly. “The big problem was debt,” said Gilligan.

“Nothing like starting with a clean slate,” said Coun. John Mahoney, before questioning if her newest proposal was a “cutand-paste” of the old Hub documents, which Gilligan Free! Every Thursday Night All Summer Long! admitted it was, as she used it as a template. By her own In Centennial Park Under the Smiths Falls Water Tower! admission, the term The Hub appears at least twice in the new document, but she commended Mahoney for being so thorough and reading the whole document.

Maloney wondered why This Week’s Movie Gilligan had not approached council ahead of time to at least let councillors know that The Hub was in the process of being wound down, and that a new group was in This Week’s Business Sponsor the offing.

“We didn’t know we were going to go into business,” admitted Gilligan, not until the very end after they had sought some legal advice while trying to rectify matters with their two major creditors. “I don’t know how This Week’s Community Partner successful we will be. (We are) applying for every grant that makes sense.”

As a businessman himself, Mahoney said he found some of the document to be “vague,” and that one of the things he looks for in a business plan is, “How am I going to increase business?

I like to see a progression.

How am I going to attract new business?” he asked. “I don’t see that (here).”

Gilligan threw the question back at council, saying she would like to see the town step up with promotion by including them on their town website, as they do with museums and other attractions. To this, Mahoney lightened the mood by informing her that “my photo is still not on the town web site,” he said with a laugh, despite having been elected in 2014.

Beware the ‘Faded 80s’: Bootleg Fentanyl detected in the area Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Health authorities are on alert for ‘bootleg Fentanyl’ which has been detected in the area.

The illegal Fentanyl, which is ordered online from China, has been detected in the contraband drugs picked up by police forces in Smiths Falls and Brockville, with Gananoque already having confirmed the presence of the drugs in its area.

“They order it in powder form,” said Jessica Wigle, a public health nurse in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville District Health Unit’s harm reduction program, following a presentation she gave to representatives from agencies that deal with children, like the Lanark County Situation Table, and YAK in Perth last month. “We’re terrified, to be honest.”

(Wigle will take her presentation to Lanark County Interval House and the Children’s Aid Society soon.)

One of her biggest concerns is that the Fentanyl will be mixed with ‘party drugs,’ this summer, with the 16- to 18-year-old group identified as seeing “snorting (as being) very popular. We are very worried about that.”

Another concern is that “Fentanyl is being used… to cut cocaine.”

The health unit first became aware that there was a problem very recently.

“We started noticing it about two

Jessica Wigle is a public health nurse in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville District Health Unit’s harm reduction program. weeks ago,” she said. “But our clients (with drug issues) have said it has been ongoing for a while. It is in this area.”

While prescription-based Fentanyl, which is dispensed at pharmacies in patch form, and which was originally “intended for people with stage four cancer,” she said, the illegal powder Fentanyl has “toxicity levels (that) vary,” she said.

The health unit has initiated a patchfor-patch program, whereby 10 patches are handed out to patients with a prescription, but a further 10 patches are only handed to the patient, when they

hand over the 10 used patches. Some area pharmacies are already instituting this.

“We are worried about our recreational users who have a low tolerance,” she said. “It’s really scary.”

The powdered form is just one side of this coin.

“We are also seeing it in pressed pill form,” she said, with the street name “Faded ‘80s” since they can come in bags with the pills in various shades of green. “You could take one pill and have a good high. You could take the next pill and have an overdose.”

The use of Fentanyl has been in the news of late, since it has been reported that music star Prince died of an accidental overdose of the drug back in April.

“It’s unfortunate now that it comes to this point,” said Wigle.

The health unit has been handing out kits with the temporary Fentanyl overdose antidote – Naloxone. But, there is a Catch-22 of sorts.

“We can’t give it people who are not addicted to opioids,” she said. While the health unit have given training on how to apply Naloxone to, say, a user and his/her parent, or a user and their non-addicted friend, only a user can be given the kit. Because of this, “a lot of organizations have done an outcry to the ministry.”

While Naloxone is available at all of the health unit’s sites in Smiths Falls, Almonte, Perth, Brockville, Gananoque, and Kemptville, about 95 kits, as of that afternoon had been handed out, since November of 2014 – with a further four due to be handed out on June 23. So far, 11 of the kids have been used “and all were successful,” she said, though this number may be somewhat conservative since “sometimes they don’t tell us right away,” if they have used the kit. “All of the people who got the kit used it on a friend,” she added.

Naloxone starts to work within one to five minutes, and stays active in the body for about 60 to 90 minutes. Par-

ticipants who are given the Naloxone kit have to have training and assessment of their knowledge, according to the “Naloxone Training Guide,” which is being distributed by the health unit.

While someone ‘tripping out’ symptoms may seem obvious to some – the touchy-feelies that come with dropping Ecstasy, or being fixated on objects or lights – someone approaching a Fentanyl overdose may exhibit symptoms similar “to falling asleep.”

And at a party where people are drinking, she said, it may be hard to differentiate between someone seemingly asleep on a couch because they are drunk, or someone seemingly asleep on a couch because they popped a pill outside.

“If your friend passes out, check up on them,” she advised. “If they’re not responsive, call 9-1-1,” then administer Naloxone, followed by chest compressions. If there is no improvement within three to five minutes, a second injection may be necessary, and continued chest compressions.

She cautioned that even if Naloxone is given, you should still call the ambulance, since “it doesn’t last a long time,” and many ambulances have a more permanent antidote they can given someone who is overdosing.

Fentanyl is 750 times stronger than 30 mg of Codeine (also known as Tylenol 3) – while morphine is only 10 times stronger than Codeine.

Ink, powder, DNA: A forensic arsenal that finds felons fast at OPP east HQ Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CSI: Smiths Falls may never make it as one of the popular crime drama’s many spin-offs, but the forensics lab at the OPP’s eastern region headquarters still helps nab the bad guys – sometimes the old fashioned way.

From discarded cigarette butts to prints left on the gear stick of a stolen vehicle to the old board-game stand by, the lipstick on the wine glass, Acting Sgt. Steve Lawson has seen it all – and it all comes through his labs.

Members of the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards were given a tour of the forensics labs as part of their quarterly meeting at the headquarters in Smiths Falls on Wednesday, June 22.

The labs compliment two other forensics units in eastern Ontario, in Belleville and Long Sault, but “we’re one of the bigger units,� said Lawson. “We’re still known as the Perth identification unit. I don’t know why!� he said with a laugh. “That’s where we used to be.�

But regardless of where OPP forensics officers work, “they are very, very highly trained.� While DNA hits “have really been beneficial,� something as simple as finding a cigarette butt left behind by a careless criminal at a crime scene can be key – especially when “no one around here (the crime scene) smokes,� he said. As for DNA hits, his office has had “four hits in the last week-and-a-half,� after they had been sent to the centre for forensic sciences. “We want to get the bad guys and get a conviction, so that this person is held accountable,� he said. But for all of the Hollywood glamour seen in a weekly police drama, “it’s a challenge keeping up with the follow-up work,� he said, of the less-than-glamorous paperwork that goes into each case. “Every hour gone in the field, you spend more hours in front of a computer.�

There is oversight within the OPP, both within the force and without.

While Crown attorneys are more likely to accept the forensic unit’s findings, “there are defence attorneys who won’t accept it quite so readily,â€? he said, though he stressed that “we do not work for the Crown. We don’t work for the defence‌I work for the truth.â€?

As with any other line of police work, there are frustrations. Even after hours of hard work and due diligence, “it’s kind of a disconcerting process‌a lot of guys get off,â€? which he finds frustrating, but he adds that “I support the Charter (of Rights and Freedoms) 100 per cent.â€?

In order to make sure that their findings can withstand a withering cross-examination in court, a simple hit on, say, a fingerprint, will not suffice. The OPP will collect a number of fingerprint “loops� and put them on a comparison chart and run blind comparison tests, with no names attached to any of the loops.

“We never tell the officers who the bad guys are,� said Lawson of the “double positive comparison,� he said.

Throughout the forensics unit, there are evidence rooms with short and long-term storage lockers. The officer’s badge number is written on the sealed evidence envelope, and when the seal is broken, a record is kept of it, including dates of the seal being broken, or the seal being applied, and the reasons why it was broken, as well as a record to what chemicals and/or powder was applied to the evidence.

This is to guard against a defence attorney asking: “Well, how do I know that it (the evidence) was preserved properly?� “(A) ridiculous argument, certainly, but we have to defend against them,� he said.

Another way that the unit tries to protect itself is by using different brushes for different powders and taking up “eliminator prints,� to, say, get all of the fingerprints from the members of a family living in a home where a break-and-enter has occurred, as well as those prints of any frequent visitors, to narrow down any

Any evidence that cannot be processed on site is brought to the lab, but the unit is not called out to every crime scene – but will find itself, say, on the side of a highway where a colli-

sion has occurred, if there is an abandoned vehicle with no driver or passengers accounted for. “Of course, your DNA will be all over that car,� said Lawson. But “the air bags (will) smack someone in the

face,� leaving a distinct impression, and one that can only be found when the bags are deployed. “That blood has been deposited at the time of the See FORENSICS page SF6

collision,” he said. “We are always trying to link individuals back to certain scenes.”

In the lab, “we’ll take a crack at just about anything,” he said, but always with one goal in mind – finding what is unique about prints or DNA. Remember that cigarette butt we told you about earlier? That example had happened earlier this year when two crooks were taking part in a roofing scam. They approached an old man and said they would be able to spray a clear liquid to seal his roof shingles for only $650. It was a scam, but the old man bought it, and while he was looking at the work on the

roof, one of the crooks went into the man’s house and stole some loose cash he had had hidden away. They dusted the old man’s safe, but it was then that a watchful officer noticed a cigarette butt. The old man did not smoke, and neither did anyone who visited him.

The butt produced a hit.

“You don’t shoot, you don’t score,” he said. “Most of the times, it’s a swing and a miss. Sometimes, it’s a hit.”

Old school fingerprint work is still as effective as ever it was.

“There is no one on the planet with your fingerprints,” said Lawson. “Not even identical twins have identical fingerprints.”

Another recent case saw officers following up on a Ford pick-up truck

that had been stolen and dumped, driven right into the back woods. As the officers looked at the truck, they realized that “you cannot move that vehicle without putting it in drive,” he said. They saw a chrome piece of the gear shift and “there was a life and there were prints.”

Interestingly, criminals themselves can prove to be unwittingly helpful to the forensics team.

“The majority of them (criminals are) doing the same things over and over,” he said. “Typically, it’s not their first time.”

He stressed that “we’re always trying to be as fair as possible to the criminal,” the criminals themselves are less than likely to return the fa-

vour, as they “don’t want to cooperate,” say, during a fingerprint session.

“We don’t like getting covered in ink each time we fingerprint someone,” he said. “(But) it does give a good print.”

To cover their bases, Lawson’s team uses all 10 digits on someone’s hand, as well as the side of the hand too.

When asked how many points of similarity they look for, Lawson said that “there isn’t an exact number…but the guys in here like have 10 to 15.”

Even though he has had “a great career,” as a police officer, he is still Desmond Devoy/METROLAND learning.

Rideau Lakes Township works with owners to open Jubilee Block in Delta Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Jubilee Block in Delta is a colourful one – even more so now with the addition of random Bristol boards stuck in the windows written with scathing messages about the Township of Rideau Lakes and its staff.

“Rideau Lakes Township destroys businesses. Delta is dying because of the Rideau Lakes Township,” states the hand-written scribble on one board.

The owner is Harald Bachman and his partner Kim. They had been working on opening the restaurant to serve pizza in time for Delta Fair, which starts on Thursday, July 21. Beside the restaurant, formerly known as Bob’s Diner, is a gift shop, which is still filled with items for sale. This has since closed.

Upon an assessment prior to opening the restaurant portion of the block, Rideau Lakes Township fire inspectors noted that there needed to be some upgrades done first before the restaurant could open.

CAO Mike Dwyer said in a phone interview with this newspaper that they are trying work with the owners to get the business to open. In fact, he’s directed Bachman to the Small Business Resources Centre in Smiths Falls to help them with a business plan and some financing if available.

“We really had a great conversation while we were in Smiths Falls on Friday,” Dwyer said of his talk with Bachman. “We are trying to help them work through their issues and open the store.”

The CAO said he wanted to make something perfectly clear, though. “The township did not order the store closed.”

The storeowners had asked for and received the inspection prior to their opening a couple weeks ago.

“There were some issues like plumbing and a small sink that needed upgrading; we had a positive conversation about fire safety,” Dwyer said.

“But until they met (standards) X, Y and Z, we couldn’t let them continue. It’s a safety concern, not just for the owners and employees, but for the community. We have a moral obligation to ensure safety.”

Dwyer was not concerned with the obtuse messages on the posters in the windows but more about what those messages portray to visitors to the village.

“We’re not thinking about that,” he said of the hurtful messages. “We’re trying to work for the common goal. The focus is on getting their business up and running and helping them realize their dreams.”

Councillor for the Delta region is Cathy Livingston. In an email with this newspaper, she said, “We are appalled to see one of our heritage

Delta Fair to host Honeymoon Suite Just think of it – everything from cotton candy to midway rides to outdoor concerts to livestock shows. The 2016 Delta Fair will offer all of this and much, much more!

The 186th anniversary edition is set to commence its annual four-day operation from Thursday, July 21 to Sunday, July 24.

A star-studded list of headline acts will once again be available throughout the fair.

Kicking off the four-day extravaganza will be the magical antics of Silly Sally the Clown with shows at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. followed by the Ambassador Pageant at 5 p.m. The fair, which has been dedicated in memory of assistant secretary-treasurer Linda Barker, will officially open at 6:30 p.m. at which time results from the Delta Citizen of the Year and the Ambassador pageant will be announced.

Music lovers will be able to enjoy a special musical tribute to The Eagles on the Main Stage at 7 p.m. followed by the country music sounds of Texas Tuxedo at 9 p.m.

Friday’s showcase starts off with magic shows

with an edge by Rynestone Magic at 12 p.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. followed by musical tributes to Garth Brooks, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash and more on the Main Stage at 7 p.m.

Rocky Mountain High and Northern Lights will complete the day’s program with a concert starting at 9 p.m.

Saturday’s line-up features the horse draw at 10 a.m.; helicopter rides at 11 a.m., lawn mower races at 2 p.m., and a chicken barbecue held at 4 p.m. before an evening performance of the legendary rock musical group, Honeymoon Suite at 7 p.m. followed by Ridin’ Shotgun at 9 p.m.

Rounding out the fair on Sunday will be a tractor pull at 10 a.m., a motorcycle display at 12 p.m. and the gospel sounds of the Torchmen at 1 p.m. In addition to the Animal Land petting zoo and the numerous children’s activities, Worlds’ Finest Shows will continue to present amusement rides and games throughout the four days of the fair.

buildings defaced this way.”

Livingston praised the CAO for his work with the owners.

“The only thing the township can do is to ensure that the building is safe for the owners, any workers and the general public,” she wrote.

“That is why there are codes that need to be followed. Why should they be any different than any other business owner? Even the local chip wagon had to follow the codes, which can sometimes be expensive, but if someone were to get hurt or worse and things weren’t to code it would be even more costly not only to the owners but if the township were lenient then it would fall back on them too!”

One of the signs on the building made mention of the block being rezoned to residential to make way for a seniors’ housing project.

Dwyer said the block has never been rezoned and it’s always been zoned as commercial.

Livingston added that she was pleased that something was taking shape on the Jubilee Block after it has been vacant for about three years. “I do hope it all works out for the better for both the owners and the community,” she said. “I for one was pleased to see something happening and I am still hopeful that ‘this too shall pass.’”

The business block, known as the Jubilee Block, was built in 1888 and named in honour of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee. It’s the centre of Delta, Livingston wrote.

“Annually we have thousands of visitors come to our community to visit the Old Stone Mill, National Historic Site, and Lower Beverley Lake Park and a gift shop and restaurant is just what we need.”

The inspection took place on July 6, and the owners have 30 days to comply. Calls to Bachman went unanswered.

Delta Fair holds fond memories

Mad Hatter’s Tea Party an eccentric success

Alice and her crazy friends from Wonderland gathered at the Heritage House Museum on the afternoon of Sunday, July 17, for a special Mad Hatter’s Tea Party on the grounds.

Dave Pringle

Dave Pringle’s shot this week is a bullfrog, who “only has eyes for you.”

t’s that time of the year again – Delta Fair! This year’s rendition is 186 and runs July 21 to 24. I have some fond memories of Delta Fair that go way back a halfcentury. The memories started long before we moved to the Delta area from Frankville in 1974 as that’s where my dad grew up – and Mom was not that far away, either.

I remember as a child my dad’s parents, Cliff and Elva, would load us into the back of the old car and take a drive to the fairgrounds on the Sunday night. Back then, the fair started on Monday and ran for three days. So on Sunday, my brother and I would jockey for position in the back seat to look out the side window and see what rides and games were going to be there.

Then we’d hit the ice cream shop in Delta and tour the back roads home to Chantry. My grandfather – Daw as we kids called him – would have a time gawking at all the things around him, and Grandma would take the wheel while sitting in the passenger side so we didn’t end up in the ditch.

My brother and I would save our quarters in empty Rolaid jars, dusty with chalk, in anticipation of a day of fun. We would count our money, blowing off the Rolaid remnants, every week to see who had the most. Being the oldest sibling, I usually managed to finagle a few quarters from his piles just to even the stacks. He has always been more frugal.

We were allowed to go only one day – Kids’ Day on the Tuesday, and it was usually pouring rain – to spend whatever money we had saved, which wasn’t much more than $10. That would get us a belly full of cotton candy and candied apples, allow us to play a few games of chance and luck and jump on a bunch of the midway rides then try, unsuccessfully, to fight the nausea.

Over the years, as we grew into unruly teens (well, I was unruly, my brother was a little more well behaved, at least in front of the parents), our family would rent a cabin at Lower Beverley Lake Park. Then our family friends, including my bestie, Marilynn, were in the cabin next door, and I was always allowed to bring my other bestie, Shelley, with me.

That park has been a part of my life since I was a kid. We’d ride our bikes to the park for a swim when I was old enough to do so.

My first summer job was working for Bud and Pat at the gatehouse in that park. And on rotating weekends, I cleaned the cabins. I would squirrel

LAURIE WEIR Weir View away my paycheck in hopes of having even more fun at the fair each summer.

That was before the expense of a car that owned me.

In the ’70s, a day pass to the fair was a red ribbon that cost about $3. Six of us could get into the fair on one pass – or more, depending on who was visiting our cottage that week. One of us would walk through the gate with the pass, then hustle down the creek and bolt behind the grandstand, then hand it through the fence to the next person in line.

Then the teenage years hit me. When I was 13, I met the Fudge Man at the fair. Marty was his name, and he was 16. He had the cutest dimples, dark eyes and dark wavy hair. I had a huge crush on Marty who worked at Der Vittle Hut selling fudge. With my two besties, I would frequent the fudge hut so I could ogle and gush over Marty.

I was the youngest of the three of us, but a bit on the wild side. (I know, hard to believe!) I told Marilynn and Shelley they could leave me with Marty; that I’d find my way back to the park eventually.

Against their better judgment, my BFFs left me to my own devices.

Marty was the perfect gentleman.

We talked a lot. He was from Niagara Falls and working the fairs was a summer job for him. Eventually, he walked me back to the park, hand in hand, under the starry night with the scent of pine and the occasional campfire crackling in the distance.

Meanwhile, Shelley and Marilynn were trying to stave off my parents who were looking for me. My friends covered for me, but then went out on a mad hunt through the park to find me before my parents did. Lord help me if Mom and Dad got a hold of me before my friends managed to find me. There would be some explaining do to – and hell to pay.

After Marty safely saw me back to the cabin, I saw my besties first, thankfully. They were more than a little ticked at me, but said they didn’t sell me out to Mom and Dad. They were just glad I was back in one piece.

It was the following year when I was about to graduate from Grade 8, and See COLUMN page SF9

Bingo Ladies an affectionate look at wacky world of bingo What do lucky charms, big dreams, and a troll named Thor have in common? Together they’re a recipe for a fun-filled and angst-ridden evening out with a best friend and a worst enemy. They’re also part of the sometimes off-the-wall culture of bingo that is the backdrop for the new musical Bingo Ladies, premiering Aug. 18 at the Studio Theatre.

Yes, it’s Friday night at the bingo hall and the gloves are off! Mismatched pals Carol and Sandi enter Duke’s Bingo Barn like they’re entering a temple – reverent, awestruck, and filled with anticipation. Each woman has her own agenda: Carol needs to pay off her debts. Sandi’s hot for Lou, the rock n’ roll bingo caller.

And then there’s Irene, the cranky old know-it-all, oxygen tank in tow, who always wins.

When Carol steals Irene’s lucky spot it sets off a chain of events none of them could have predicted. Four delightful characters share the stage to tell their stories in hilarious, touching and sometimes surprising dialogue, breaking into energetic and engaging song and dance performances that perfectly underscore the Bingo Ladies narrative. It’s a fast-paced new musical about friendship, gambling and just how far we’ll go for the big win.

Bingo Ladies features powerhouse performers who have starred in some of the Studio Theatre’s biggest hits:

Bingo Ladies in rehearsal: Carol (Barb Seabright- Moore) and Sandi (Keegan Carr) are horrified that Irene (Barb Guthrie) appears to be dead, as the Bingo Caller (Adam Bond) checks for a pulse and Thor the troll looks on. Bingo Ladies premieres at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 18 at the Studio Theatre in Perth.

Adam Bond and Keegan Carr, both fresh from this spring’s smash 9 To 5, The Musical; Barb Guthrie, a star of the musical version of Little Women; and Barb Seabright-Moore, a veteran of more than 40 musicals, from Gypsy and Chicago, to the Studio Theatre’s sensational spring 2015 hit The Drowsy Chaperone.

Seabright-Moore is a big fan of Canadian playwright and composer Grant Tilly’s script and score for Bingo Ladies.

“This is challenging music!” says the Royal Conservatory-trained vo-

calist, “And really memorable, too.

The tunes are contagious...I just love the whole show.”

As for Carol, her debt-ridden character, Seabright-Moore says simply, “She’s me. I have no trouble connecting to this woman with a heart of gold who has had her fair share of challenges and is now in dire straits, trying to make things right. Audiences will really relate to Carol’s struggles.”

Artistic director C.Lee Bates is thrilled with her small cast. “After a wonderful cast of thousands – well, 18 anyway – in 9 To 5, The Musical, I am

So we've brought back the Best of the Best!

really enjoying the smaller, more character-driven story of four everyday people dealing with everyday problems and victories. But don’t let the ‘everyday’ description fool you,” she continues. “There is romance, death, betrayal, secretiveness and surprise built into a script that never takes its foot off the pedal.”

Bates is delighted to be working with an uber-talented cast of performers whose ages span many decades, and who have become close friends as well as theatre colleagues.

“In an intimate production like Bingo Ladies, it’s impossible not to develop a bond with every individual.

All of us have gotten to know, respect and care about one another,” she states.

Other valued members of the team are musical director and accompanist Mary Lou Carroll, (who made her stage debut in 9 To 5); Joan Frommer, producer, stage manager, and C. Lee Bates’ long-time creative partner and collaborator; hard-working producer Roberta Peets; the effervescent Mary Ann Majaury, who shows off her creativity as choreographer; and Joanna MacAuley-Treffers, the style-wise costume designer.

“All of these women are incredible to work with, each one giving their heart and soul to the show” says Bates.

Also on board are Mark Tye and Yogi Sepp as sound and lighting de-

signers respectively. “These two guys, along with Adam Bond are our ‘honorary women,’ so full of love and passion for what they do,” Bates says with a wink.

Importantly, Studio Theatre Productions is co-producing Bingo Ladies with indie women productions as a fundraiser for the Jillian O’Connor Family Fund. For more information about Jillian, visit www.indiewomenproductions.com.

Bingo Ladies premieres Thursday, Aug. 18 at the Studio Theatre for seven performances, Aug. 18, 19, 20, 26 and 27 at 7:30 p.m., and Aug. 21 and 28 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $28 (cash only) at the Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E, and $28 (plus a $2 convenience fee) at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St., which accepts in-store, phone, online and credit card purchases (613-267-6817; shadowfax.on.ca).

Don’t forget that season passes for the Studio Theatre’s 2016/2017 season of outstanding live theatre, starting in September, are on sale now at the Studio Theatre box office, Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon and at Shadowfax.

Bring along your troll to the sparkling musical Bingo Ladies, coming soon to the Studio Theatre! For further details please visit studiotheatreperth.com.

Highway safety institute hands down their ratings for vehicle headlamps The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) of the US recently started rating vehicle headlamps in terms of their ability to help us see down the road in safety. There is probably no one area of a vehicle that generates more comments, and specifically more complaints than headlamps. Either they’re not effective enough or they blind oncoming drivers. With our aging driving population and the almost epidemic increase of diabetes with its associated vision problems, getting a vehicle with effective lamps is a crucial part of the buying research process. Yet surprisingly few shoppers ever test-drive a vehicle at night and even when they do, it’s often on brightly lit urban streets.

IIHS engineers study and evaluate vehicle headlamps on a specially designed track. Light meters placed at strategic locations measure how far light is projected on straight approaches, as well as sharp left and right turns, and gradual right and left curves. They also measure glare

to determine if the lamps are projecting excessive and blinding light to oncoming drivers. Vehicles can earn a good, acceptable, marginal, or poor rating. Even if a vehicle’s light was exceptional from the driver’s standpoint, it would only earn a marginal rating if it subjected oncoming vehicles to excessive glare.

The most recent group tested was small or compact SUVs, and out of the 21 models evaluated, none earned a good rating. In fact only four were deemed acceptable; 2017 Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, and Mazda CX-3. You can find the complete score card at iihs.org under the ‘news’ tab. Beginning next year a vehicle must achieve an acceptable or better headlamp rating in order to win IIHS’ coveted Top Safety Pick Plus award.

If you’re considering replacing your current ride with a compact SUV (or anything else for that matter) and your night vision isn’t what it used to be, complete at least one

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

test-drive at night on an unlit road to see if your eyes can live with your choice. Don’t assume you can modify the lights after the fact to gain some intensity. New Ontario regulations that came into effect on July 1, outlaw adding HID (High Intensity Discharge) bulbs to lamps that weren’t originally designed to take them. Regular replacement bulbs that promise more light seldom provide anything more than a five per cent improvement if that. And fog lamps are only designed for short distance light projection and won’t do anything to improve long-range vision at night.

This is a great weekend for car

shows, so get out and get your fill of chrome. The Wheels on the Bay is a three-day festival celebrating all things automotive in Trenton and it runs from July 22-24. They’ll have a burnout pin, rev competitions and you can meet Dave Kindig from television’s Bitchin’ Rides and Twiggy from Vega Rat Rods. Check out wheelsonthebay.com for more details.

On Saturday, July 23 the Nokia Charity Automotive Show will be parked at 600 March Road, Kanata (use the entrance on Legget Drive) from 2:30 to 10 p.m. All types of vehicles are welcome – new, old, classics, tuners, imports, domestic, trucks, jeeps, cars, bikes, etc. If it’s got a motor, bring it over! There’s a $5 car entrance fee (spectators no charge) and all proceeds will go to Candlelighters Ottawa.

Sunday, July 24 is a collector car free for all with the Golden Gears Car Club Fly-In Car Show landing at the Iroquois Airport from 8:30 a.m. to noon and the famous 18th

annual Ford Spectacular presented

by Campbell Ford at 1500 Carling Ave. in Ottawa and the Ottawa Mustang Club rolls onto Campbell Ford’s parking lot. Registration is from 9 a.m. till noon.

Clarkson’s comic chops featured in Classic Theatre Festival’s second summer show Perth has become a summertime home for Toronto’s Scott Clarkson, a performer now playing his sixth season at the Classic Theatre Festival with his starring role in the uproarious George Bernard Shaw comedy Arms and the Man, running until Aug. 14 at 54 Beckwith Street East.

“Working at the festival has been some of the most challenging theatre I’ve done, and hugely rewarding,” Clarkson says. “Perth has always fed the part of me that loves a quieter pace, beautiful architecture and green spaces, and a bit of history too. And I’ve met so many wonderful people here: company members and volunteers, local merchants and theatregoers. I love this town.”

Since 2011, Clarkson has reveled in roles “that have all satisfied something in me, a desire to communicate with the writers and actors and other theatre makers of the mid-20th century.

It’s given me a chance to explore parts played by wonderful actors on stage and in film: Hume Cronyn, Henry Fonda, Charles Boyer, Bob Cummings, even Kevin Kline (in Arms and the Man).”

Clarkson’s role as Captain Bluntschli in Arms and the Man is a homecoming of sorts, reminding the veteran actor of his study in New York’s HB Studio, where he first encountered Shaw’s work. Clarkson says he very much likes the character he inhabits

Submitted photo

Classic Theatre Festival performer Scott Clarkson, seen in previous festival performances, returns for his sixth season to star as the worldweary soldier Captain Bluntschli in the George Bernard Shaw comedy Arms and the Man, running until Aug. 14 at 54 Beckwith Street East.

Tickets are available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283. for his six weeks in Perth.

“I feel Shaw speaking his truth through him, and it’s remarkable what Shaw has these people say at the height of the Victorian era!” he says.

“Arms and the Man allows Bluntschli to show us the truth of a military life behind the romantic facade. The Captain has served nearly 15 years, and the cost of this becomes quickly ap-

parent. Beyond the obvious exhaustion and fear that comes with losing a major battle and being on the run, he has of course seen and likely done many horrible things. No Charge of the Light Brigade bravura for him.

If he has anything in common with a literary figure it’s the hero of Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front. Bluntschli figured out long ago

that heroism can get you killed, and chocolate will keep you alive better than revolver cartridges. I see traces of him in the Marx Brothers’ Duck Soup, in Catch-22, in M*A*S*H.” Clarkson says audiences can expect a lot of comedy in Arms and the Man, as Shaw “wrote with wit and insight and dared to pose questions about how people lived their daily lives. He questioned everything. Why is it we marry? Why do we go to war?

Why do we value the things we do, and at what cost? He doesn’t strike me as a 19th century writer; he was pointing the way to the next century, laying the foundation for all the artists who wouldn’t accept a party line, from any government or church or military authority. I wish he was here today.”

When Clarkson isn’t performing at the Classic Theatre Festival, he is involved in many other creative pursuits, from stage work in Toronto to the creation of podcasts. He became hooked on them a few years ago – particularly those related to popular culture, the arts, history, and politics.

“I found myself filling in much time on public transit or dog-walking listening to them, and also got in the habit of listening to these when I couldn’t sleep at night. Eventually I started writing and recording my own (Pretty Much: the Podcast, available for free on the iTunes Store) not least because I had been collect-

ing a host of topics that would float into my consciousness at night,” he says. “Writing them down and crafting them into little pieces (five to 15 minutes in length) allowed me to articulate my thoughts on the music and film, TV and theatre that I have loved and been influenced by over the years, as well as telling personal stories about my family and friends. The tone is all over the place, and the style changes from confessional to farcical to reportorial.”

Clarkson’s podcasts explore oldtime radio tropes, and bits of audiotape from throughout his life are scavenged and used to piece together chapters of an ongoing saga. There are more than 60 episodes up there now, and more will be uploaded as well. “It’s been a great complement to my stage work, allowing me to think as a writer and hone some home recording skills, too.”

Arms and the Man runs until Aug. 14, eight shows a week, Wednesday to Sunday at 2 pm, with 8 p.m. shows Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday at the festival’s home at 54 Beckwith Street East. Each show is preceded by half an hour with a talk exploring the story, the playwright, and the themes of the work as well. Tickets available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877283-1283.

GEMMILL, Dale - Sept. 7, 1945 - July 23, 2015 God saw him getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around him.

And whispered “Come To Me”.

With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer, And saw him slowly fade away, Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands put to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Sadly missed Mary, Rodger, Scott, Cynthia and their families

He left us so quietly, His thoughts unknown.

But he left us a memory We are proud to own.

His end was sudden, It made us weep and cry But the saddest part of all He never said good-bye.

We hold him close within our hearts There he will remain.

To walk with us throughout our lives, Until we meet again.

To us he was so special, What more is there to say, Except to wish with all our hearts, That he was here today.

Following Carl’s passing his wife Shirley and their girls, offered the Lions Club this project as a fund raiser. We gladly accepted and named the project “The Lion Carl Sadler Memorial Fund Raiser”.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A tribute of gratitude and pride DEAR EDITOR:

Somebody killed policemen today, And part of the U.S. and Canada died.

A piece of our countries they swore to protect, Will be buried with them at their sides.

The beat that they walked was a battlefield too, Just as if they had gone off to war, Though the flags of our nations will fly half staff, To their names, they add a gold star.

Yes, somebody killed policemen today.

Maybe in your town or mine.

While we slept in comfort behind our locked door, They put their lives on the line.

Now their ghosts walk the beat on dark city streets, And they stand at each new rookie’s side.

They answered the call, of themselves, gave their all, And part of the US and Canada died.

You did us proud.

Glen Redman Blair Smiths Falls

From page SF8

was looking forward to our school trip to Niagara Falls.

Wouldn’t it be neat if I saw my summer crush?

Our class had some adventures lined up, and we headed out to some museums, like Ripley’s Believe it or Not, and saw the wonder of the falls. It was my first trip to Niagara Falls and one that rooted a deep love of the area.

But what was even more remarkable was as my classmates and I were walking down a random street – I don’t remember now, but it was probably Lundy’s Lane, when I saw that darkhaired boy I developed a fondness for the previous summer.

There was Marty, just standing on the street, trying to catch my eye.

There was a reunion hug that one of my classmates captured on film using my Kodak 110 camera. That picture is still tucked away in a photo album with sticky pages; the stick almost non-existent, but the smiles never faded.

Enjoy the fair and take the opportunity to make your own Ripley’s moments.

FIRE

westerly,” Saunders said.

According to a statement released

by CP Rail when contacted by this newspaper, their operations centre was notified of the fire around 2:45 p.m.

“Train traffic was halted so fire departments could respond to the fire safely; CP can confirm that there was no rail grinder in the area (contrary to earlier media reports). The cause of the fire is under investigation,” wrote Salem Woodrow, media relations with CP Rail in Alberta.

The bulk of the fire was in Tay Valley and Drummond/North Elmsley.

There were two or three spot fires in Perth and the Perth Fire Department looked after that – one by the county building and one over by Central Wire.

“They were readily extinguished and then Perth Fire Department came and helped us,” Saunders said.

“I don’t have a number on bodies that were out, but every truck is going to come with at least two (people).”

Mutual aid Their Lanark mutual aid was tapped pretty quickly, Saunders said, so they made the call to outside stations.

As part of their mutual aid mandate, fire trucks were called into action from Lanark Highlands, Smiths Falls, Montague, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills. They had back up from Merrickville, Rideau Lakes, Central Frontenac, along with public works, OPP, paramedics and many members of the public in volunteer positions with food and water.

Rideau Lakes Fire Chief Jay Debernardi said, they were called upon to provide standby for those Lanark mutual aid group departments who initially responded to scene.

“This meant positioning our apparatus and firefighters from Station 2 Portland into Smiths Falls to provide protection to Smiths Falls, west end of Montague, Drummond/North Elmsley (Rideau Ferry) and our Station 4 in Westport for the south end of Tay Valley,” Debernardi explained in an email to this newspaper.

“As well as continuing to be ready to roll in Rideau Lakes…the crew that responded to Smiths Falls sent firefighters” to replace those on scene.

“Others at Rideau Lakes stations 1 and 2 were put on standby in case more resources were required in Lanark and to cover the Station 2 Portland area,” Debernardi wrote. The Rideau Lakes firefighters were on the scene for about 2.5 hours.

drone. “It’s new technology.”

Saunders said he knew Renfrew had the technology, but “never even thought about using it,” until Ed McPherson, EMS chief of the Lanark County Paramedic Service, mentioned it.

“We talked to them, they offered it at no cost to come down and try it out,” he said.

According to Renfrew fire chief Mike Nolan, the team “did hot spot analysis, to see if essentially the fire was out and to calculate the area that was burned. We were able to give live real time images to the OPP, rail authorities and fire services.”

The remote access team of deputy chief Brian Leahey, UAV (drone) operator, paramedics Steve Osipenko, Matt Lasek and Nolan were on scene at the fire for two and a half hours.

“We were able to tell them the extent of the burn area as well as provide assurance that there were no hot spots or risk,” Nolan said.

The UAV team in partnership with InDro Robotics from British Columbia, has been running in Renfrew County for

two years and Nolan says they before, Saunders said they have consider themselves a regional not. resource.

“We’ve had grass fires caused by a train, but the thing Evacuation just a thought is you have one area and you go There was a thought of to that one area and deal with evacuation but “we didn’t have it. It tasks your resources when to act on that,” Saunders said. you have that many fires.”

Getting back to normal, “today is about clean up and dealing with the media.

Getting equipment dry but for the bulk of it we’re ready to go again if needed,” Saunders said.

“We want to thank people who stopped with water, and for those who gave us food and kept us hydrated.

It’s much appreciated.”

He was also pleased with the efforts of all the firefighters who responded to the calls for help, saying it was a great effort all around.

The chief said he’s looking to recuperate the cost of the fire, specifically, the firefighters’ time and equipment used.

“I wouldn’t say there was a dollar damage for the amount of grass that was burnt, but there is a considerable amount of costs associated with the fire that the fire departments have put out.”

Saunders said he will submit a bill to CP Rail for the costs to all departments associated with putting out these blazes along the railway lines.

“It’s $450 per hour, per truck,” he said, as he will submit the bill on behalf of all departments on the scene.

The July 14 edition of the SFG&CC Thursday Night Men’s Twilight was sponsored by A&B Ford. The format was “gamble scramble” with teams rolling the dice on each hole to see whose tee shot would be taken. Some were lucky, some not.

The Cadeau, Devonshire, Devonshire, and Cahill group played it cool and rolled its way to victory on the front nine.

The Merpaw, Crawford, Brown, and Kennedy group avoided snake eyes, claiming victory on the back.

The Roosteraunt closest to the pin prizes went to Peter Cahill and Nate O’Neil for their tees shots on holes 3 and 16.

Nate also hit the best second shot on hole number 15 to win the Burns Jewelers prize.

The Town and Country Chrysler longest drives of the evening were launched by Adam Schofield and Adam Summers on holes 7 and 17.

The “Fantastically Fabulous, Barely Doable” games of skill were performed by Gerry Simmons and Cassum Bahm.

And this week’s winner of the Rocky’s Road Rash ball was Dave Hawkins. He’ll have a chance at the Closing’s big hole in one prize. Good luck!

Last week’s Obsessed With Golf trivia question: Who is the astronaut who hit a makeshift 6-iron on the moon? Answer: C. Alan Shepard.

This week’s question: Which player wears a Super Bowl ring, a gift from the San Francisco 49ers? * Roger Maltbie * Johnny Miller * Phil Mickelson * Mark O’Meara See next week’s article for the answer.

A contingent of local girls who attend Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, are part of an impressive all star rugby line-up.

The seven girls, along with their coach, Jacob Swarbrick, and other team members from across the region, took part in the Eastern Canada Rugby Championships in Truro, Nova Scotia from July 5 to 11.

“They’re a great group of girls,” Swarbrick said, as the girls earned the gold medal defeating Nova Scotia, 58-0 in the finals.

The girls prevented any scoring throughout their tournament, trouncing New Brunswick, 68-0 and Nova Scotia 54-0 in preliminaries.

“I’m very impressed with their performances,” the coach added.

The SFDCI girls were a huge part of the 23-person roster selected from Belleville to Cornwall.

They include: Hannah Crogie, prop; Sierra Devries, flanker; Rachel Streekstra, 8 man; Molly Leach, winger; Alixz Shepherd Martin, flanker/ centre; Shona Turnbull, fullback; and Jessika Jasiak, flanker.

They had a lot of university coaches approaching them after the competition, Swarbrick explained., While in the eastern provinces, the team had a chance to take in some whale watching in St. Andrews and do some zip lining in Grand Falls.

“We had two days of travel and three days of play (and sightseeing),” added Swarbrick. “It was a great time.”

This is a one-time tournament for the girls, many play summer league in Brockville.
