News – The county police services board (PSB) association has decided not to condemn the attack ads launched by the Ontario Provincial Police Association (OPPA) until after the June 12 provincial election. That didn’t mean that there was any lack of condemnation of the ads, which urge Ontarians not to vote for Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives. “It’s a very self-serving ad,” said Grant Chaplin, chair of Mississippi Mills’ Community Policing Advisory Committee, during the county PSB meeting at Perth town hall on Wednesday, June 4. “We (in Mississippi Mills) had considered sending a letter of concern from the PSB to the OPPA,” but refrained from doing so. He instead was seeking a letter of concern from the county-wide body. “We have nothing to do with the association,” said Perth’s Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, himself a former police officer. Photo by LIAM GROVE “It (the OPPA) is an independent, stand-alone organization from the Ontario Provincial PoCommunity - Yardley Young shaves it all off for charity, his long, dyed-blond tresses no lice (OPP).” The ad was only 15 seconds more.

ent their concerns to that government. Gemmell felt that the PSBs should simply steer clear of the issue, saying, “let them do the talking, and those who were offended by it, let them deal with it.” George Braithwaite, who was honoured at the meeting for his hard work as a representative from the region to the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards (OAPSB), a term which is drawing to a close, said “the OPPA made an error.” While the Lanark Highlands resident admitted he did not know the OPP commissioner’s mind, he wagered that “the commissioner must have burned up that phone line.” He also noted that the first edition of the ad stated: “We are the OPP,” which was later amended to say, “OPPA,” instead. “Now is not the time,” added Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd, who is also the Lanark County Warden. “There is no use in saying anything now,” with the election just over a week away, as of that morning. But he added: “They have the right to put out ads and put forward their ads.” By putting forward a letter, “we could become part of the propaganda.” He agreed with Levi and Graff that “there should not be provincially-paid uniforms and cars,” in future OPPA ads. Levi noted the ads put the OPP in an awkward place, with the force investigating alleged computer tampering at Queen’s Park related to the cancelled Mississauga and Oakville gas plant scandal. If no wrongdoing is found, it could be seen as kowtowing to the Liberals, he said. “It is an image this country does not stand for,” said Levi, with the OPP’s independence questioned. The proposed letter condemning the OPPA’s ad will be voted on at the county’s next PSB meeting in Blacks Corners, Beckwith Township on Wednesday, Sept. 3.

Interval House marks 35 years of ending violence against women with June 22 music festival akulp@perfprint.ca

Community – The world may have changed quite a bit in 35 years, but Lanark County Interval House’s (LCIH) message has stayed the same: helping to end violence against women. To continue in that goal of stomping out violence and celebrate their milestone 35th anniversary, LCIH is planning Hoot in the Holler, a day-long musical festival fundraiser Sunday, June 22 at Beckwith Park. The concept for Hoot in the Holler came from LCIH’s own executive director, Erin Lee. “We (LCIH staff) were sitting in the office thinking about how we can engage our community and thank our communities and have a little fun, because frankly, violence against women is not a happy topic. Women die,� Lee stated during an interview last week. She said a rural festival was a different type of fundraiser for the organization and Beckwith Park is central to their Lanark County service area. “It’s a venue that community members, staff and volunteers can come and just be and not have to listen to 200 crisis calls...It’s a way to say let’s honour and let’s recognize we’ve done a hell of a job and thank you,� Lee remarked. A host of local musicians have donated their time to play at the event, including Ottawa Valley favourites, The Bowes Brothers, who specialize in four-part harmony as well as some yodeling from youngest brother, Andy. Andy and his house band will also entertain during the day. It’s fitting that The Continentals (featuring Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples),

Cliff Bennett the 2014 Stan Hodgkiss Canadian Outdoorsperson of the Year News – Cliff Bennett of Carleton Place is the recipient of the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) 2014 Stan Hodgkiss Canadian Outdoorsperson of the Year award, in recognition of Canadian outdoorspeople who have demonstrated an active commitment to conservation. A lifelong naturalist, Bennett first began learning about the outdoors as a child in the 1930s, when his father would take him on nature walks. Later in life, he became a teacher and introduced nature as a key theme in his work with children with

learning disabilities. In the community, Bennett was a founding member of Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists in 1988 and led the development of various activities, including the group’s environmental education program, its international outings program and a canoeing program. Bennett also served in local government as a municipal councillor and deputy mayor. During that time, he led the process that created a community-developed official plan – the first of its kind in Ontario – which estab-

lished many policies aimed at protecting natural assets, such as wetlands and forests. Bennett has received many awards over his career. The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists also honours his contributions with the Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary Fund, which supports local post-secondary students involved in nature or environment studies. He also remains active in the cause of conservation,

leading nature walks, organizing birding trips for the community and writing columns for the local newspaper. “Cliff Bennett’s story is as inspiring as they come. Cliff’s ability to incorporate nature with education activities is award worthy,” says Wade Luzny, CWF chief executive officer and executive vice-president. “This is what’s great about our Conservation Achievement Awards. We get to

celebrate and award volunteers, professionals, youth and conservationists from all walks of life who care about our natural world.” Every year, the Canadian Wildlife Federation recognizes Canada’s mostdeserving conservationists through its Conservation Achievement Awards. The awards pay tribute to individuals and groups who have made exemplary contributions in the area of wildlife and habitat conser-

vation and education. The awards will be presented at the Canadian Wildlife Federation awards banquet on Saturday, June 7 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. About the Canadian Wildlife Federation The Canadian Wildlife Federation is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to fostering awareness and appreciation of our natural world. By spreading knowl-

edge of human impacts on the environment, sponsoring research, developing and delivering education programs, promoting the sustainable use of natural resources, recommending changes to policy and cooperating with like-minded partners, CWF encourages a future in which Canadians can live in harmony with nature.

Hoot in the Holler is just one of the events throughout the year, including September’s annual general meeting and Take Back the Night walk in Carleton Place, which will recognize LCIH’s anniversary. “We’re focusing on three or four key messages. One is to recognize and honour the fact that we’ve been in the community for 35 years; two, to recognize and thank the community for keeping us here and embracing our services; three, to continue to heighten awareness of what’s happening in our community surrounding violence; and four, to raise funds,” she explained. That last focus is crucial, Lee said, as the organization hasn’t had an increase in funding for five years. Currently, primary funding comes from the Ministry of Community and Social Services, a small amount is received from the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care through the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) LCIH’s sexual assault program, and the Ministry of the Attorney General provides funds for family court support. “The population we serve is give or take, 65,000 and there are only so many things we can do,” she said. She said other shelters across

COMMENTARY

Watch for turtles Editorial – Like the ending of the classic story of why the chicken crossed the road, turtles are also trying to get to the other side. From May to September each year, turtles are prevalent on area roadways, but right now they are particularly vulnerable as they attempt to lay eggs on road shoulders, find a mate or food. Because of their slow pace and fast-paced traffic on roads, it’s not uncommon for them to be hit. But there are a few ways drivers can act responsibly to save the lives of turtles this season. In many communities across the province, signs may highlight the areas where turtles tend to congregate, which is the work of organization Turtle SHELL (Safety, Habitat, Education, Long Life), a non-profit group dedicated to turtle conservation. Those signs are just the start of drivers’ education. The first tip is the simplest: if you see a turtle crossing the road, pick it up and help it across. Make sure you place it in the ditch in the direction they were travelling. Of course, this is easy for smaller varieties of turtles, but a little more difficult for snapping turtles. Turtle SHELL recommends motorists stop and move snapping turtles across the road with an object such as a shovel, car mat, or blanket. Prodding them with a stick can also work. Under no circumstances should you pick up a snapping turtle without protection and not by the tail as this can damage their vertebrae. If you find an injured turtle, the Rideau Valley Sanctuary (613-258-9480) can provide information on how to care for it. Turtles don’t realize the dangers vehicles can have, but helping them to their destination can ensure the turtle population thrives well into the future.

Switching churches was a serious topic for Audrey Lifestyle – “Being Lutheran is no fun,” Audrey said for the umpteenth time that morning. Mother let out a loud sigh, and I knew what was coming next, because my sister on the rare occasions she even bothered to discuss with me anything the least bit serious, had talked about this very thing. “Why can’t we have more Sunday picnics like the Uniteds? Beatrice said there are at least two more picnics this summer, and we Lutherans have yet to have even one!” Audrey was wiping the oilcloth on the kitchen table, and she was rubbing so hard I thought she was going to rub out the checked red and white pattern! And then she took the argument even further by suggesting she saw no reason why she couldn’t go to the United Church and the rest of the family stay Lutheran. Well, that tore it! Mother sat Audrey down at one end of the table, just by pointing her finger to the nearest chair, and she sat at the other end. There was nothing I liked better than a good heated discussion, and I knew I was about to witness a dandy. Nothing bothered Mother more than to have

one of us argue about going to church. Even though we came from what Aunt Lizzie called a ‘ divided household’, to Mother going to the Lutheran church every Sunday was just as important as doing the washing on Mondays and having our weekly bath on Saturday night! There were no questions asked as far as going to church was concerned, and only a calamity of the highest order would keep us away. Mother told Audrey you didn’t go to church to have fun. You were there to learn about the bible, and listen to a good message. I thought it was a good time to bring up the subject of our divided household, since we were talking church and all. I had no idea what it meant when Aunt Lizzie had come from Regina one time and as well as declaring Mother as ‘not being of the best farm material she had ever seen’, she also said Mother created what was called a ‘divided household’ for her brother, my father. So I dared to ask, what was a divided household? Mother ignored my question, but my sister Audrey jumped right in and said, “it means Father is a Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@metroland.com 613-283-3182, ext. 104

Lutheran, and Mother is a Catholic.” Well, that was all news to me! The nearest Catholic church was in Renfrew and not once did we ever go to a church service in the Catholic church in Renfrew! How could Mother be a Catholic and not go to church every Sunday? Now, she did have a Rosary, and she wouldn’t eat meat on Fridays, and on occasion I did see her cross herself, but that’s as far as it went. Why, we often sang on the street corner with the Salvation Army band in Renfrew... did that make us Salvation Army members? Anyway, as far as Mother was concerned the discussion was over, and Audrey and I headed for the swing in the grape arbour.

to one church and have her go to another. I told her about the time she was asked to sing a hymn and how I tingled from my head to my toes with pride... and how everyone said she sang like a bird...and I just knew she would be asked to sing again some day. And whose shoulder could I lean against when I nodded off during the sermon? Certainly not my brother Emerson’s. I couldn’t tell by looking at Audrey sitting across from me in the swing, if I had been able to convince her to stay a Lutheran. I had to think of something that would leave no doubt in her mind that going to the United Church just wasn’t a good idea. And then it hit me! Right out of the blue! “I hear Shirley’s brother from the Barr Line is going to join the Lutheran Church...remember how he chose your cake at the Cake Auction at our church...cost him a whole quarter too. He sure had the sweets on you.” I had no idea in the world whether or not Shirley’s brother had any intention of joining the Lutheran church, but this issue called for drastic measures, and if that meant telling a little white lie, ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES MANAGER Andrea McMurtry 613-283-3182 x169 SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988

so be it! Audrey got a dreamy look in her eyes, which was a very good sign. I thought I would seal the deal by adding a bit more to the story. “Shirley said he is now old enough to drive the car too. Loves to go into Renfrew to the picture shows.” I had my fingers crossed behind my back, which was supposed to get rid of the sin of telling a lie. I sure hoped it worked, because I had no idea if Shirley’s family even owned a car...they came to church in a horse and buggy. Well, that did the trick. Audrey put her head back in the swing, and pushed the boards gently with her feet, and the swing squeaked back and forth in a steady rhythm. I knew she was thinking of trips into Renfrew to the picture show, and Shirley’s brother sitting in a pew in the Lutheran Church. Joining the United Church was never mentioned again.

Urgent need for a living donor for a liver transplant Now she is praying for another blessing: a living donor for a liver transplant. Recently, she received disappointing news in the last week that a healthy living donor who was tested for transplant, was not a match and also that a liver from a deceased donor was not suitable for transplant. Living in Brockville for the past 45 years, Thake has worked at the former Parke Davis (now Trillium Health Partners) for many years. Anyone who knows her, knows that she is a very loving, kind, caring and giving person. To become a living donor, the following criteria must be met: • Between the ages of 18

Jazz Fest receives record number of applications Community – The application process to perform at the 2014 edition of Merrickville’s Jazz Fest (MJF) closed on June 2 with some 60 submissions received. This represents close to double the number of applications for the 2013 edition of the festival. “We are delighted and even a little overwhelmed by the number of submissions we received since the application process officially opened at the beginning of the year,� said festival co-organizer Peggy Holloway. “We have organized all the material for review by this year’s selection committee and are impressed and excited by the interesting variety and scope of talent represented. It promises to be an excellent festival once again,� she continued, “but of course, with this many applications for a small three day event, we are also keenly aware that we simply won’t be able to include nearly as many wonderful musicians as we would like.� The festival opens with a special event on Thursday, Oct. 16 and continues through Sunday, Oct. 19. Tickets and passes are expected to be on sale in July or August.

on the Toronto General Hospital website, www.uhn.ca/MOT/ PatientsFamilies/Clinics_Tests/ Pages/living_donor.aspx. If you wish to be a potential donor, please fill out the Donor Health History Form which is found on this website and attach a copy of your blood type. There are instructions on how to fax it

or mail it or drop it off in person at Toronto General Hospital. If you would like more information about the liver donation process, please email Thake at marsha@myhighspeed. ca or call her at 613-342-6260. There is a “Donor for Marsha� Facebook page. There is also a run/bike/walk fundraiser called

“Lace Up 4 Marsha� being planned for Saturday, Aug. 9 in Westport to pay for out-ofpocket expenses for the donor and recipient. Excess funds will be donated to Trillium Gift of Life Network. For more information, please email Marg Thake at maggiet@ rideau.net.

about the long and exhausting journey that eventually brought them to a new land. Because of lack of good record keeping in those days there is some discrepancy as to the exact dates. What is known is that the Hardy family came to Canada aboard the Empress of Ireland. My late grandparents were both children when they left Liverpool for Canada on separate voyages. They met much later as young adults in Chatham, Ontario which is the hometown of both my mother Molly and my wife Kathleen. During her years of service (19061914) the Empress of Ireland played a major role in Canada’s immigration boom. An estimated 120,000 European immigrants sailed on her to a new life in Canada. Today the federal government estimates that a million Canadians, or about one in 35, can trace an ancestor to the ill-fated vessel. I am one of them. What makes the Empress tragedy especially interesting to us is that my grandmother always said the disaster occurred while the vessel was returning to Liverpool on the return leg of the same voyage that brought her and the rest of the Hardy family to Canada. That much she was absolutely certain about. The 100th anniversary of the Empress sinking did not pass unnoticed. I read a number of stories online and in daily newspapers about it and saw some clips on television. The vessel is commemorated in stamps issued by Canada Post to mark the Centennial of the sinking and the Royal Canadian Mint has produced a pair of silver coins to mark the occasion. Even more important, the newly renamed Canadian Museum of History (formerly the Museum of Civilization) in the Hull sector of Gatineau, just across the Ottawa River from the nearby nation’s capital, has launched a display about Empress of Ireland. From all accounts it is very good and I intend to visit. Although the actual commemorations weren’t well publicized there was a 100th anniversary memorial service in Rimouski, Quebec the largest community near the sinking site. In addition a monument was unveiled in Rimouski and several other memorial events were held and exhibits opened across the country. In Liverpool, England where the CPR’s luxury liner was registered, a Centenary service was organized by the grandson of the ship’s chief officer, who died a hero. A story which appeared in the May 27 edition of the Liverpool Echo newspaper explains that Mansfield Steede rushed from his bed in his pajamas and after instructing a radio officer to send distress calls, he released lifeboats which saved the lives of many on board. A total of 465 passengers and crew were rescued. Steede, a 47-year-old native of County Cork, Ireland was among the dead.

Lifestyle – With the possible exception of July 1, Canadians aren’t much for fanfare or ostentatious displays. So I wasn’t surprised at the end of last month when a particularly poignant anniversary passed with, what seemed to me, a minimum of observances and relatively little publicity. I’m referring to the 100th anniversary of a tragedy which is often referred to as “Canada’s Titanic.� The sinking of the passenger liner Empress of Ireland. In the early morning hours of May 29, 1914 the huge vessel sank in the St. Lawrence River, near Rimouski, Quebec after colliding with the Norwegian collier ‘Storstad’ in thick fog. The 14,000-ton ship, owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company (CPR), capsized in just 15 minutes taking 1,012 people to a watery grave. Among the dead were 840 passengers. That’s eight more than the number of passengers who perished when RMS Titanic famously struck an iceberg and sank in the Atlantic, off the coast of Canada, two years earlier. Among the passengers on the Empress were 171 members of the Salvation Army who were sailing to Britain to take part in an international gathering in London. More than 150 Salvationists perished including 30 of the 39 members of the Canadian Staff Band. Despite the fact details of the St. Lawrence River tragedy were telegraphed and reported around the world, compared to the famous story of Titanic the Empress of Ireland tale is not well known. As a career journalist I consider myself knowledgeable about the major events in world history and particularly Canada’s history. But if it wasn’t for a family connection it is likely I would not be well informed about the sinking of the Empress of Ireland. The loss of the vessel was Canada’s biggest Maritime disaster. Yet in typical Canadian fashion the name and the tragic story of the big ship isn’t common knowledge. I blame that partly on a system that doesn’t teach enough of our young people Canadian history. Along with our characteristic low-key approach to publicizing or even talking about Canada’s own tragedies and triumphs. The reason Titanic had a greater loss of life (more than 1,500 perished) than the Empress of Ireland is because she carried far more crew. More people to care for the needs of her well heeled passengers. Although considered elegant, the Empress was mainly an immigrant ship, transporting ordinary people to the New World.

Community – Supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County were on hand to enjoy a fun day of golf at Mapleview in Perth on May 31. One-hundred and forty-four golfers took part in the annual 3M Golf for the Kids tournament, and enjoyed the sunshine while supporting a great local children’s charity. 3M Canada in Perth was this year’s title sponsor, and sent two teams to participate, as well as donated items for the very popular take home bags that each golfer gets. The participants were well fed during the day. Tim Hortons donated the coffee and muffins, Garden Market Smiths Falls provided fresh fruit for dessert and a mid-morning snack. Shoppers Drug Mart in Perth and Smiths Falls provided pop and chips. Blair & Sons donated water and ice. There were many games that added to the day’s fun, including a chance to win a recliner chair from Medivac in Smiths Falls and a putting contest with prizes donated by Leo Adams In-

Steede, a Liverpool native, told the Echo, “The disaster is being marked in Canada and I thought someone along the line might have picked it up and done something in Liverpool. But I’m really happy that there is now going to be this service which I will be attending.” He currently lives in Selsey, West Sussex on England’s south coast.

of Empress of Ireland. Murray told authorities, “The conduct of the officers and crew is typified by that of Chief Officer Steede who hurried up in in his pajamas and started setting the (life) boats free with the result that he was crushed to death by a boat falling on him when the ship lurched. “Before he was killed, Mr. Steede loosed several boats which saved many people,” Murray reported. Today Steede’s grandson says, “I am very proud of my grandfather. He was 6’ 5” and a very powerful swimmer. He must have been dead before he hit the water.” Regarding his grandmother Steede told the British newspaper, “She never got over what happened and wore black until the day she died, very many years later.” The couple had three children, two boys and

a girl, at the time of his tragic death. The story of the Steede family is just one of hundreds and hundreds of sad tales which emerged from the sinking of Empress of Ireland. The outbreak of World War I which came so soon afterward is one reason the story of the Empress was overlooked and has remained so for 100 years. Descendants of those lost and family members of people who sailed on her, including me, are hopeful this important chapter of Canadian history is finally beginning to get its due because of activities surrounding the Centenary. A few years ago the wreck of the stately liner was officially declared a national historic site. She lies at the bottom of the St. Lawrence some four kilometres from the shore of Pointe-au-Père, Quebec which

is the home of a regional museum commemorating the sinking. The designation was a long time coming and I credit the Harper government for proceeding with something which should have happened decades earlier. The designation finally halted the plunder of artifacts from the ship something which should never have been allowed. The vessel remains the final resting place for many passengers and crew whose remains were never recovered. At the time of the designation a government spokesman said, “It is important to allow every Canadian to know about this page of history and to honour those who lost their lives.” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Part Four of a Four-Part Series

Planning for end of life is less stressful with help from professionals By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

News – Inside Ottawa Valley, covered by The Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette, The Kemptville Advance, The Perth Courier and The Smiths Falls Record News, has taken a look at the palliative care services offered in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville over the past three weeks. In this, our final installment, we look at preparing for end of life, the roll of a palliative nurse, and the future of hospice. Preplanning Scott Blair, funeral director at Blair and Son Funeral Home, Smiths Falls, says pre-planning services for the end of life is something more people are talking about. “It gives families more time with their loved one without the added stress,” says Blair. There are two steps that a family should consider when pre-planning a funeral. Ensure that in the case of a home death, that the funeral director has been contacted. Blair and Son Funeral Home (with locations in Perth, Smiths Falls, together with Young Funeral Home in Lanark) work closely with the palliative care centres in the county. “We are very much involved with the palliative care services and work closely with families,” Blair says. “Another part in the process of having a home death is ensuring that the family has a nurse pronouncement of death in place.” Pre-planning the services with the loved one is also an option for families, and highly recommended. Many times, Blair says, planning a service is as much for the loved one passing, as it is for the family. “We want to be able to provide as much information to the family (and get as much information from the family) as possible. Having that (palliative) person involved in the planning of the service is important,” he says. “It’s also important that the family gets what they need from the service, as well as what they want.” Blair says they can meet with the family in their own home to preplan arrangements. To preplan a service, it lets the wishes of the patient (or client) be known ahead of time and reduces stress. “It doesn’t matter how prepared you are for someone’s death, you are never fully prepared,” he says. “But by having a pre-arranged service, it would give loved ones more time to spend in the home with their loved one. That’s the most important part.” Decide what you can do in advance to help pre-plan for a funeral service: • Type of casket, or urn; • Type of service (religious, military, fraternal); • A funeral home; • Pallbearers, music, flowers, scripture or other readings;

• Charity to receive donations in lieu of flowers, if preferred; • Cemetery lot location; • Documents needed - birth certificate, social insurance number, insurance policies, cemetery internment rights certificate of ownership, funeral service pre-arrangement certificate, etc., (let

your executor know where they are located). For more information on pre-planning funeral arrangements, please contact your local funeral home. Future of Hospice Mary Anne Nicholson is the execu-

tive director of Community Home Support Lanark County. The future of hospice, she says, is working together with other community services, to provide families with the best options available for their loved ones. “We are looking to provide more services for less money,” she says. “A new direction is health links. We now have a working group committee and that’s very exciting.” Under the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Community Health Links is looking to provide coordinated, efficient and effective care to patients with complex needs. “We will be meeting on June 16 to do a journey day with a patient, to find out how the patient moves through the system and how we can improve on it. This is what we need right now.” It will provide a sense of “working together,” Nicholas says. The number of palliative people who want to die at home is increasing, she says. “The challenge is to be able to provide care for patients who need and want care to allow them to die at home.” It’s also an opportunity to get patients into the queue faster, and to get them the support they need sooner. “We can do more for people if we have their information before they need the services,” Nicolson says. “And not at the last minute. From the time they (or a family member) contact us, it’s a matter of a day or two to get them the services they need.”

Fundraising With the doing-more-with-less mantra, local hospices are gearing up with community partners to come up with creative ways in which to raise those much-needed dollars to keep programming up to date. For Community Home Support – Lanark County, there are a number of initiatives in place, to complement the Hike for Hospice that happens in May each year. “We’ve got our community partners on board and we are anticipating some new and exciting fundraisers, going forward,” says Nicholson. The Stars of Hope and Remembrance Campaign has been a popular one, which is only in its third year and takes place in December. It’s a perfect time to remember those loved ones who have passed by purchasing a star of hope. A new fundraising effort this year by Tay River Reflections/Tay River Train ‘N Transform was a fashion show held in the spring. More than $2,000 was raised for the cause with the hope of encouraging local doctors to join the fun for future fundraisers. “The Perth Lioness Club also supported us with a fundraising fashion show,” adds Nicholson. “In terms of partnerships, we are becoming more pro-active and want to encourage more of these types of partnerships in the future.” Watch for more information in this newspaper as the hospice fundraisers get under way later in the year.

Palliative care work rewarding experience for Sidney Thomson By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – Palliation is Sidney Thomson’s passion. Since 2003 Thomson has been the palliative resource nurse at Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH). Palliation focuses on achieving comfort and ensuring respect for a person suffering from a life-threatening illness such as cancer, congestive heart failure or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Quality of life is amplified for the patient, family and loved ones. “It’s implementing the palliative process to maximize a person’s well being and daily life,” Thomson said. She finds it an incredible honour to be around persons during this very private and emotional time in their lives. “The end of life journey is one that we need to embrace,” the palliative resource nurse said, “and it is a true privilege to be allowed into that journey with a family.” Thomson graduated from nursing

school in 1997 at age 45. “I worked at the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus for a couple of years after graduation,” she explained, “where I already started to get a sense of what I believe is the very important role of the bedside nurse in palliation.” In 2003 she completed the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) palliative fellowship, and received palliative certification from the Canadian Nurses Association (CAN) in 2013. Shifting from cure-centred care to palliative care is often difficult. However, Thomson is very comfortable in her role, she is able to embrace it. When there is a palliative admission at CPDMH related to end of life, “we do our best to ensure the family has privacy for the end of life journey,” Thomson said. She explained the palliative team at the hospital “is from the top down to the bottom up.” “Every single member of our staff participates in their own unique way,” Thomson. “The housekeeper who See PALLIATIVE page 23

Beth Donovan Hospice: Growing to meet the needs of large catchment area News – Beth Donovan Hospice (BDH) has been serving clients successfully for the last 22 years, operating with minimal provincial funding. In the last five years, it’s experienced exponential growth to meet the needs of its large, predominantly rural catchment area. Although the Hospice has grown in the provision of direct client care, most recently with its day hospice program and bereavement programs, there are still gaps which the Hospice is unable to bridge without additional

operational funding. BDH has advocated for a residential hospice since 2008, which originated as a dream of the late Beth Donovan. According to a recent survey by Harris/Decima for Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association, 93 per cent of Canadians believe that palliative care services should be available in a setting of their choice. Often in a rural location, people gravitate towards the setting of a hospital because people feel it’s their only other possibility if home is no longer

an option. “Caring for a family member at home at the end of life is physically exhausting. The focus gravitates towards the spouse/ family member being the primary caregiver administering care, while trying to juggle their anticipatory grief and various care schedules. Regardless of people’s geographical location, everyone deserves the right to decide where they want to spend their last days,” says BDH executive director Dawn Rodger. “If people want to remain at home capacity

needs to be developed within the healthcare system to better support primary care especially in the rural areas.” BDH is working at the regional level with a presence on the Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program Board based in Ottawa, to identify these service gaps and provide locally delivered, practical hospice palliative care solutions. Namely identifying hospice beds as a natural solution, providing a local, holistic environment equipped with grief counselors, spiritual care providers, all centered on families with hospice suites. Secondly, the implementation of a rural pain and symptom management team to conduct home visits to pallia-

tive clients, as necessary, for pain and symptom control. This would have a two-fold benefit to the client and the health care system by alleviating the stress or panic that can set in when a pain crisis occurs, as well as decreasing the occurrence of visits to the emergency room department. This team would support primary care after hours and provide community coverage for physicians during holidays while extending the services to the boundaries of the Hospice’s catchment area. All of this while taking into consideration the character of the community. Although BDH aspires to achieve the aforementioned, there is still much work to be done. On-

going operating funding is crucial for the next phase of development to include residential hospice beds. However, BDH will move forward with other plans to continue to enhance palliative care services. “Keeping the client at the forefront of our minds helps us develop appropriate services and programs emphasis is more about quality of life than it is about death,” concludes Rodger.

relays a message, the maintenance worker who goes the distance to find an extension cord, for example.” Palliative nurses not only take care of the patient, they take care of the patient’s family. “In palliation, family can be any individual who interacts with the patient in a supportive role,” Thomson said. “Not everyone has close relatives. Often friends are the patient’s family or support system.” A number of the talented, caring nurses at CPDMH have done extended palliative education. They are comfortable and well educated in the palliative role. “I am a resource and provide support for them at the bedside, and I coordinate education opportunities,” Thomson said. “In the area there are level one and level two palliative courses available, and they run one day a week for six weeks.” At times, CPDMH has two to three palliative patients, sometimes one. “It’s a very dynamic environment for palliation,” Thomson said. The palliative care team is committed to working together to provide the patient and their family comprehensive care. “We try to repatriate patients from other hospitals the city as soon as we can so they are able to come back to their community, if they can’t go home,” Thomson said. “When the goals of care change from cure to

comfort.” “We know these people,” she added. “They are part of our community.” During the final stages of life, palliative nurses address their patient’s physical, spiritual and emotional concerns, and also support the family. When people are in pain, they share their knowledge to help them become more comfortable. They empower their patients to make their own decisions and be part of the care. “Palliative nurses need to be open-minded and cognizant,” Thomson said. “It’s not their journey, it’s the patient and family’s journey.” “I may have ideas about how someone is cared for, but these ideas need to mesh with the needs of the patient and the family,” she explained. “What I can give them is familiarity with end of life that helps me help them to make decisions.” Thomson said palliative nurses need to be patient, and they need to be able to listen and communicate. “We need to be very comfortable in our roll, and to be able to say I don’t know,” she said. “The worse thing you can do is not admit it when you don’t have an answer for a question. It’s not a journey that we get to do twice.” What is the most rewarding part of the job? Walking through the journey with the family and making sure the needs are met and meshed, she stated. “At the end of the day it’s realizing that you have done

your very best accommodating the needs of patient and family and making sure they meshed,” Thomson continued, “and if it hasn’t been a perfect journey, it’s knowing it was still done with caring and compassion. One of her biggest rewards is the level of competence that her peers have developed. The biggest challenge: Balancing the nursing needs (to do a really good job) with the family’s needs. How does Thomson keep from being overwhelmed when working with dying patients everyday? “I am blessed with the fact that my oldest daughter is a nurse, my youngest daughter is an Ottawa firefighter, and my husband is a retired firefighter,” she said. “My family unit is very comfortable with emotion from the job.” “We’ve all had to deal with the job coming home with us,” she continued. By virtue of her profession, the palliative resource nurse is not allowed to discuss her patients outside of her environment, which also makes it a little bit easier. “When I have my moments, when I need to be alone, my family understands completely,” Thomson said. She believes there isn’t a palliative nurse out there who can turn it off, and “I don’t think there has ever been a patient who hasn’t impacted my life.” People say it takes a special person to comfort, support and coach people through the death process, and they are right.

To c r e a t e m o r e useable space; to make it more energy efficient; to enhance its value – there are a lot of reasons for renovating a home. Millions of Canadians tackle a home renovation project each year and, if you’re one of them, here are some important tips: Make a plan and stick to it Figure out what renovations you want to do and why -- then plan for them. If your goal is to increase the value of your home, a real estate agent can help you determine the renos that will get the best return on your investment. A contractor can help minimize mistakes and an interior designer can help you create an appropriate design proposal. Budget accurately Once you know what you want to do, create a realistic and affordable budget. It’s not unusual for extra expenses to crop up, so set aside a contingency fund of at least 10% of your budget. Know where the money is coming from It’s important to know your financing options. You could access a secured or unsecured line of credit, refinance a mortgage or a personal loan – but the best financing option of

Manage Your Money all is to set up a savings plan and/or use money you have already saved specifically for your reno. Sweat equity is a great way to save money – but only if you are confident you can do the work yourself. Also look into government support for such projects as improving the energy efficiency of your home. Local utilities may also offer grants or rebates. Research, research, research If you’re using a contractor, choose carefully. Get recommendations from friends, co-workers or relatives, be sure to get multiple quotes and a reasonable price, and always ask for references and always check them out. Check to see if you need building permits for your renovations. If you live in a condo, check with your building’s management for any approvals you may need. If you’re renovating to increase the value of your home, keep in mind that some improvements offer better returns than others.

In any case, how much you spend should depend on where you live as well as how long you plan to live there. For example, the value of an over-thetop reno in a lower-cost neighbourhood may not be recognized by potential homebuyers. On the other hand, a reno that improves energy efficiency may not only lower your operating costs and pay back your investment over time, it can also be a selling feature. To be sure you’ll have the money you need for reno you want – and for all your other life goals – talk to your professional advisor before you start.

evidence that a gluten-free diet will help with athletic performance, weight loss, ADHD, mental health, diabetes, disease prevention, or increased energy. Avoiding gluten-containing foods for infants and young children will not prevent them from developing food allergy. A gluten-free diet is not a low carbo-

hydrate diet, nor does it contain extra nutrients that gluten-containing foods do not have. For some people, when a food is “free� of something, it sounds like a good idea. And many foods that are naturally gluten-free offer many great health benefits. Legumes, for example, have a type of fiber that is preventive for colon cancer. But it is not the lack of gluten

that is health promoting – it is the natural components that help prevent disease. Gluten-free products Like many restrictive diets, going gluten-free can be very difficult to follow as well as being more expensive. A loaf of gluten-free bread can range from two to three times higher in price than regular bread, as do many boxes of gluten-free crackers and breakfast bars.

A gluten-free diet may be less healthy over time if you simply eliminate glutencontaining foods without replacing them with healthy alternatives. The majority of gluten-free products on the market are not fortified with the same nutrients as traditional products. Filling up on gluten-free cakes, cookies, or crackers is not a healthy snack alternative. Many of these products are

News – The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) will sign a new, ten-year contract for Wide Area Network (WAN) services with Bell Canada that will offer students faster Internet service while saving taxpayers $150,000 per year. “Our service will be faster for our students and staff and it will cost less,” said Jeremy Hobbs, chief information and facilities officer. “It just makes sense. Bell has the most extensive fibre optic network in the board’s area so can deliver the best available network services at the lowest cost.” The new contract with Bell was recently approved by trustees. The agreement, not yet officially signed, will cost $690,000 per year, down from $840,000 annually under the current contract. The system will include Internet service, as well as access circuits for all schools, administrative sites, and T.R. Leger School of Adult, Alternative and Continuing Education campuses. Savings have been derived through newer, more efficient and less expensive technology, and better design of the way service is allocated to schools, said Hobbs. The current WAN system, structured in 1983, offered all schools 10 Mbps of bandwidth regardless of school population or grade level. As a result, schools received service ranging anywhere from 10 kbps per student to 120 kbps per student. The new system will deliver 1,000 kbps for secondary students, and 600 kbps for elementary students – a system that acknowledges that secondary schools are heavier users of networks than elementary schools. All UCDSB sites will be switched over to Bell’s Next Generation Carrier Ethernet system over the next few months. The majority of sites will be receiving the improved service by Dec. 30.

Learn how to give older gardens a makeover at June 17 SFHS meeting By CHARLES McLENAGHAN

Lifestyle – The next meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society is at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95 at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17. There will be no meetings during July and August. If you have a rundown, tired garden you will want to come out to this meeting. Mary Reid will be speaking on renovating older gardens. Most of us have some or all of our gardens in need of a makeover and Mary has the experience and knowledge to guide us through the process. An experienced speaker, Mary is a Master Gardener as well as owner of Green Thumbs Garden Centre in Nepean. Our monthly photo contest winners for May were: Bob Stanley, first, Anneke Wilson, second and Carol Stanley, third. With summer officially just around the corner the theme for June is Introduction to Summer. This is the last contest until September so bring your entry in for all to enjoy. We will be having our official flower show at this meeting. This show will be judged with points going towards the winner of our annual plaque. Please check out the rules on page 9 of the year-

Smiths Falls Horticultural Society book. You are asked to come early in order to label your entries and determine the class to which it belongs. This is a simple process but check out the classes on pages 10 and 11 in advance. Peonies have a special note and there are some hints at the bottom of page 11. Division II, Design, is where we would like to see more people make an effort, surprise yourself using your imagination. All entries must be placed by 7 p.m. We are truly grateful to the community for supporting our plant sale held May 24. We once again surpassed last year’s total. Thank you to our members who showed up early, eager to organize the sale and assist our patrons in the selection of their purchases. Jane and Debra did a great job in their first year of leading the way. Thank you to the local businesses and others who donated plants to “Jeanne’s� Auction and a special thank you to Kathy Willoughby for donating 50 tomato plants from her wide selection in her new greenhouse located on

the Jasper Road. It was a great day, rewarding for all. This event provides the funds for our various community projects ranging from our annual $500 bursary to an SFDCI graduating student to donation of new books to the local library. Our first winner of our Garden of the Month contest was Terri Merpaw. The garden is located on the corner of Broadview and Andrews Avenues. It is a pretty mixture of colour and textures located on a gentle slope. Congratulations to Terri who now has our sign placed in her garden. She will also receive a membership to our society and a gift certificate courtesy of D & S Garden Supplies. Please call Charles at 613-2831470 or Pauline at 613-267-4046 to make your nominations for future months. Please remember to bring in your payment for the Hypertufa workshop that takes place at Rockwall Gardens on June 21. Please contact our president Hope, at 613-275-1018 for any information you require about your own local horticultural society. Also visit our web site at: http:// www.gardenontario.org/site.php/ smithsfalls. Charles McLenaghan is the media director for the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society.

Bringing cancer fight, walks, into the light of day desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Even when cancer touched his family, it would take Keith Kerr years to realize it. The Tay Valley Township reeve was on hand for the first-ever Walk the Block fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society on Thursday, June 5, and he told the crowd that he had never been told why his grandmother had died. “Consumption,� his father had said, when he asked. “In later years, I found out that it was actually ovarian cancer.� If she had been alive today with such a diagnosis, she would probably have survived, had it been caught early enough, and she would have lived to raise his mother. “The actual heroes don’t wear capes,� said Kerr. “They wear running shoes.� Leanne Waddell has been cancer free for more than 36 years – and whenever she says that, the 30-something-year-old gets some odd looks and has to explain that, yes, she

got it very young. But she, too, is a survivor and is now the manager of the unit office for the Canadian Cancer Society in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. “We are excited to see how it works out,� said Waddell, standing on the stage behind Lanark Lodge and Perth Community Care Centre, of the noon-to-midnight walk which looped from where she stood, over to the Lanark County administrative offices nearby, and back. “Cancer is one of those battles that you cannot afford to sit on the sidelines for,� she said. “I am living proof that the research works.� Active organization Her organization is very active in this area, helping secure more than 300 rides a year, for a total 264,000 kilometres, as just one example, as well as advocacy, peer support and prevention.

organizations send teams to events like Relay for Life, but Deborah Pidgeon, Lanark Lodge’s director, realized that “there would be so many more people who would participate if it was held on site. Today provides us with an opportunity to honour our cancer survivors and remember those who did not make it.� She commended the organizers and participants for their enthusiasm. “The level of energy has been incredible in coming together for this,� said Pidgeon. Lanark County Warden Richard Kidd said he was glad to see such an event taking root. “It’s a great event to have here,� said Kidd, who is also the reeve of Beckwith Township. “It should be in every community.� While negative things tend to drive people apart, “cancer is a disease that is a negative thing that ties us all together. It is a war on a disease that is ongoing.� Kidd added that funds raised from the walk “gives us more weapons to fight that war.�

THE EMC - P1 - Thursday, June 12, 2014

Entertainment – Perth bookworms may soon not have to travel to Ottawa to enjoy the International Writers’ Festival. A spin-off of the popular festival will be soon launched in Perth and it promises to be “a very exciting new undertaking,â€? promised the festival’s director, Neil Wilson, during a presentation to Perth town council’s committee-of-the-whole on Tuesday, June 3. Wilson’s on-the-ground partner is Leslie Wallack, owner of The Book Nook, and “she is encouraging us to come to Perth, not to recreate the wheel,â€? but to do something unique for Perth. “This town is full of creative people,â€? said Wilson. “Our job is to encourage a love of books and writing and to introduce writers to Perth.â€? He promised that the money raised here will stay in Perth to fund future editions of the spinoff for the non-profit venture. The Ottawa festival has been running for 17 years and utilizes the skills of between 70 and 80 volunteers. The organizers are proposing a two-day event in August. Though the exact dates are yet to be ironed out, they will likely be on a Friday and a Saturday. The headliner is expected to be Terry Fallis, author of The Best Laid Plans, the television movie which was filmed partially in Perth last summer. Wilson is still working on a panel discussion and workshops for the Saturday, and local writers may be used at the literary tent. But the programming will not be entirely top-down. “We are listening,â€? said Wilson. “We are bringing 17 years of experience with us to bring a world-class literary event (to Perth). We are hoping that, over time‌we are here for the long

Neil Wilson, director of the Ottawa International Writers’ Festival, spoke of his plans to bring a spinoff event of the festival to Perth this summer at the Perth committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, June 3. haul. It won’t be an overnight miracle.� Wallack added that there will be a soft launch for the festival during the Kilt Run on Saturday, June 21, though tickets are already available through ticketsplease.ca, or at the office, 39 Foster St., Perth, or at 613-4856434. “We are extremely excited to be coming here,� said Wilson. “I am looking forward to being here,� developing talent already on the ground in Lanark County. Coun. Judy Brown welcomed the festival to town, and noted that another goal of the festival “is that by 2016 (the town’s 200th anniversary) it will be on a much larger scale.� For more information www. writersfestival.org.

JUDY BROWN

Judy Brown to run for third council term in Perth By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Coun. Judy Brown will be making her third bid for a seat on town council. Brown filed her nomination papers at town hall on Thursday, June 5. “I want to continue to serve the community I have grown to love,” said Brown during a telephone interview on Monday, June 9. “I love helping folks and this is a great way to do it.” While elements of the town’s 10-year-plan have come online, other elements are still to be implemented, and “I would like to continue towards fulfilling that plan.”

If re-elected this Oct. 27, this will be her third term on Perth town council, though she has served as reeve in the old Bathurst Township. “I discovered it (politics) was in my blood.” JUDY BROWN PERTH COUNCILLOR SEEKING RE-ELECTION

One of her priorities for the next session of council will be to continue with financial sustainability, making sure that tax increases are not greater than the cost-of-living. She points to the town having less than $2 million in debt, and falling, as proof of this, all the while trying to maintain services at their current level, without raising taxes. “We know that things are tough for people,” she said, as evidenced by rising energy prices, like fuel. “I don’t know how people are getting by.” One efficiency that was found in the last term was the more than $700,000 that was saved by demobilizing the Perth Police Service and contracting policing

services to the OPP – money that will now go towards repairing infrastructure. Much of the town’s infrastructure was built in the 1960s, and will be coming up for renewal shortly. On the last council, the OPP debate loomed large – but not as large as some would believe. “I had far more emails about the anti-idling bylaw than the OPP,” said Brown. As chair of the 200th anniversary promotions committee, Brown is looking forward to the 2016 celebrations, which will certainly be a highlight of the 2016-2020 term. If re-elected this Oct. 27, this will be her third term on Perth town council – though she has served on the old Bathurst Township council, where she was the area’s last-ever reeve. Her last term there ended in 2000, but by 2006 “I discovered it was in my blood.” “We are fortunate to have a council that works well together,” added Brown. But, since “I’ve seen both sides,” sitting on both a rural and a more urban council, one of her big wishes – which she acknowledges may not occur in her lifetime – is if “things could work a lot better… if that feeling of animosity would decrease,” between Perth and the surrounding townships. She will be relying on old-fashioned door-to-door canvassing. “It does take a lot of time and energy,” she admitted. While she feels that “there are no huge issues,” on the campaign horizon yet, at the door she knows that “they always say that their taxes are too high and the taxes are lower in the townships.” To which she always responds that, “the town provides more services than the townships.” She also anticipates that the old complaint about train whistles will again be a bone of contention at the doorstep. Even though she has been in politics for many years, she said she always keeps an open mind. “You’re always learning something,” she said.

more uncertain weather in the future, if this past winter was any indication. “With the winter we had, with freezing rain and thaw cycles‌ these roads need to be done,â€? he said. “This municipality will face challenges that we cannot anticipate. If the water town fell down, we would have to repair it.â€? Fenik recommended that the town “take it from reserves. Let’s do it now or wait another season. There is a choice‌ I am saying, let us get this done.â€? However, Coun. Judy Brown was hesitant to draw from the reserves, lest it create a precedent. “I would not like us, on the spur of the moment, (to) draw from our reserves, until we see what we have in there,â€? she said. But Fenik reiterated his feeling of urgency on the issue. “If this doesn’t get done this year, we may have to do it next year,â€? he said, and, in the interim, if the road conditions continue to deteriorate, they may need to be cordoned off, he warned. The original staff proposal called for only the first three roads to be selected, but a motion by council added the section of Foster Street to the list.

News – Four streets have been moved up on the priority list for emergency repair work following this past winter’s harsh impact. Rogers Road, Cockburn Street, Boulton Street, and Foster Street have all been identified as “roads that had some challenges,â€? said Grant Machan, director of protective services, speaking at Perth town council’s committee-ofthe-whole meeting on Tuesday, June 3. He revealed that his department “worked with industry specialists‌to do walk-throughs on streets that needed repairs,â€? he said. They also looked at four resurfacing options and did a cost benefit analysis, opting for an asphalt overlay. “I was trying to bring some objective scoring to this,â€? said Machan. The four streets had already been identified as being part of a longer, 10-year capital reconstruction plan. “These (figures) are not in the budget,â€? warned Machan. Instead, the council is eyeing the $95,000 that the Mill Street reconstruction project is under budget – for now. That money is set as a contingency fund from now until the

end of August. But, barring the unforeseen, if funds remain after that, those funds will then be dispersed to the four roads. “That is the only available pot of money for this project,� said Machan. The four streets were costed out under the following rolling totals: 1. Rogers Road, $30,511.80 2. Cockburn Street, $68,651.55 3. Boulton Street, $88,761.60 4. Foster Street, $110,258.55 The four roads are also well travelled, and in some cases, were due to be taken care of in as little as two years anyway: 1. Rogers Road, 4,000 cars per year (2021, proposed reconstruction year) 2. Cockburn Street, 400 cars, (2022) 3. Boulton Street, 500 cars, (2016) 4. Foster Street, 600 cars, (2017) Mayor John Fenik called Machan’s work “a really excellent report,� but cautioned that “I am not really certain that we will have funds to that degree,� needed. If the money is used up by August, “what are we doing to do?� wondered Fenik. “This is unbudgetted.� But Fenik reiterated that it was he who had asked for the staff report in the first place, and called on council to consider preparing for

College pledges new cottage for Last Duel Park as 200th birthday gift By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Starting next year, visitors to Last Duel Park may get a chance to live like Perth’s settler ancestors in a real log cabin. David Donaldson, the dean of Algonquin College’s Perth campus, told town council’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, June 3 that the log cabin – the first of an expected four or five – would be a gift to the town on the occasion of the 200th anniversary in 2016. The park already has a cabin, but, after inspection from one of the college’s instructors, it was revealed that extensive renovations would have to be carried out on it, and that it would just be easier to build a new one. It is intended that the new cabin would be

made into a “sleeping cabin, to make it a revenue-generating facility for the town,” said Donaldson. Materials will cost about $7,000 and about 2,000 person hours will be required for the erection of the 12 x 16 log cabin – which will feature a three-foot balcony with heritage doors and windows. It will likely be assembled at the cottage and then moved to the park. “We do not have access to an engineer’s report,” Donaldson added, in asking for the town’s help to make the cabin a reality. He also asked the town to “make sure there is no liability to the college once the cabin is delivered to the park.” The cabin will also require a dry spot of land, a note of concern following this past spring’s flooding. Construction is slated to be-

gin once students arrive back in September. “I think that this is a great idea that has a lot of future potential,” said Coun. Jim Graff, calling the idea “very attractive.” Donaldson added that “we would be looking at four or five (cabins) over time, if that fits in with our curriculum,” he said. While the park is popular with campers, Coun. Beth Peterkin noted that this cabin could tap into the less adventurous tourist. “This is another feature that appeals to another demographic that does not want to haul a trailer or pitch a tent,” Peterkin said. Donaldson said that the project highlightPhoto by LIAM GROVE ed the good relations between the town and the college, and Coun. Judy Brown agreed. The current cabin in Last Duel Park in Perth will not be “We are here to help,” Brown said. “We are renovated, but will instead be joined by a new, camper cabin, likely by the summer of 2015. not just here to collect taxes.”

On the waterfront: Town considers security cameras at Last Duel Park docks By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Thieves looking for what they consider to be an easy, floating target at Last Duel Park beware – you may soon be on candid camera. Town council is considering a plan to train closedcircuit security television (CCTV) cameras on the docks at the park – but such a discussion required a bit of a change in town policy, according to Jim Connell, the town’s director of protective services. “Our surveillance policy specifies municipal facilities,” explained Connell, during town council’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, June 3. But does that only mean town buildings? Connell said he owed it to town council and staff to make it clear that the policy would “read municipal property, so that (we) could include other places in town that do not have buildings associated with them,” said Connell. “The video surveillance for that area will cost the town little or nothing,” said Coun. Jim Boldt. Coun. Jim Graff agreed that there was a need to protect the property of floating visitors to town. “It is a reasonable request,” said Graff. One of the boats currently docked at the park is the Blue Goose, part of a tourism and sightseeing venture of which Mayor John Fenik is a part-owner. Fenik declared a pecuniary interest in the discussion and left the chamber during the debate, but Graff stated “there is a lot of money tied up with this boat,” which would also be bringing in tourists. Further to this, Tay Canal Tours, which operates the Blue Goose, and made the request, will cover the full cost of the camera, though Deputy Mayor John Gemmell hastened to add that the cameras were “for all boats down there.” “For me it is a reasonable request and it will benefit everybody down there,” added Graff.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Blue tears, red serge for fallen Editorial – There are only three names that really matter this week. Today, you are probably looking down at four, or more, names on a ballot. That is important, too. But three names were added to the list of police officers killed while on duty last week, and they are the ones who make the peace necessary for democracy to flourish possible. Last week, Cons. David Ross, 32, Cons. Fabrice Gevaudan, 45, and Cons. Douglas James Larche, 40, paid the ultimate sacrifice, when a gunman lured them into a trap and then brazenly opened fire on them, coldly killing them in the quiet town of Moncton, NB. Policing is one of the few professions in this country where there is a little spoken, but often understood truth, that the badge and blue uniform sets police officers apart – as potential marks. On Sunday, two white supremacists approached two police officers having lunch at a Las Vegas restaurant, and opened fire, killing both. They left, killed another person at a store across the road, then turned the gun on themselves. Just as some radio stations still, to this day, refuse to name John Lennon’s killer, not wanting to reward him for his heinous crime and the fame he said he sought, neither will we name any of the alleged murderers here. But the Moncton massacre marks the worst day for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police since the Mayerthorpe, Alta. shooting deaths of four Mounties in 2005. In America, The Washington Times reports that the Las Vegas deaths bring the U.S. number of cops killed by gunfire to 23 – a 53 per cent rise from last year. Sadly, in both cases, while there were warning signs, and pleas for help made ahead of time, it is chilling to realize that they probably got lost in the noise of any open society. Equally unsettling is that, for every 99 loudmouths who talk a big game online, posting about their hate for cops and the coming revolution from their mom’s basement, the 100th troubled individual is the one that does

something dreadful. The Harper government likes to paint itself as being the party of law and order. We will gladly place that laurel on Harper’s head, if he sees to it that the RCMP no longer finds itself vulnerable. Throughout this country, RCMP officers often have to patrol alone, making them a popular target for criminals, who can out-man and out-gun them. We also need to explore how we can tighten laws to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally unstable. These victims were men who loved their country, and had a passion for doing what they do. Not all cops are heroes, but these three certainly seemed to be, making their loss all the more painful. One statistic from this past week helped put things into perspective, if somewhat coldly. These are the first homicides in Moncton this year. There were no homicides in the city last year. That is one of their legacies. As the three were honoured on Tuesday, amidst a sea of red serge from their fellow RCMP officers, and from colleagues in blue from as far away as America, we learned more about them, how they touched people’s lives. According to The Globe and Mail, Larche performed CPR on a three-year-old girl pinned under a car several years ago. Though his efforts were in vain, as she died of her injuries, at least her parents knew that everything had been done to try and save her. Ross loved his K-9 dog, and his wife – mother of their young son – is also carrying their second child who will now never know him. And, Gevaudan twice cheated death, driving a fellow officer home to Bathurst, NB, when he had to swerve twice to avoid hitting two moose.

The easiest thing would be to keep the garbage bins STEPHANIE GRAY in the shed, however, that is where all the Shed Stuff already lives – along with the green bin. We love the green bin program for composting. It has definitely reduced the amount of waste (aside, obviously, from smelly wrappers) that we put in the garbage. We have found, though, that despite its sturdy and clever design, the bin is sometimes no match for opposable thumbs. Raccoons, it so happens, have opposable thumbs, and they are clever. Around here they are also enormous (think “small bear” size) and strong. They can knock over a full green bin, open it up, grab some snacks and invite their buddies over for a poker game. In the winter our green bin lives in the sun porch, but when things start to heat up and get a little ripe, it lives outside. After one or two tip-over incidents involving me cleaning yuck off the patio and grass, I cleverly remember to move it into the shed for the summer. One night (darned roving gangs of nocturnal critters!) I was sitting in the living room beside an open window when I heard a crash. I looked out and there was the World’s Largest Raccoon scuttling away with a snack from a neighbour’s green bin. Since the compost pick up was the next morning, he had a street buffet at the ready. He was probably going to retrieve his friends. Let’s not even talk about the very real fact that, soon, the neighbourhood will be taken over by chipmunks in a chubby-cheeked bloody coup. Perhaps some urban hawks and snakes might balance things out a little....

Community - Did you know that Perth and Queen’s University shared a connected history? I had no idea. But, if you’re a Queen’s alum or a history major, then you probably do already know this. Please forget the fact that I majored in history. In Canadian studies. The point is… Perth’s first merchant, William Morris, led the campaign by supporters of the Church of Scotland for equal treatment in the Canadas during the 19th century. Through his efforts, Queen’s College at Kingston was created in 1841; he was honoured by being named their first chair of the Board of Trustees. If you lived in residence at Queen’s, then you’re familiar with Morris Hall. There are other early historical links between Perth and Queen’s University: William Morris’ son, Alexander, also became chair of Queen’s Board of trustees; the Rev. George Bell (William’s son) was the first registered student at Queen’s and later became its first fulltime registrar. The official Queen’s historian, Dr. Duncan McDowall, has agreed to speak at a 2016 meeting of the Perth and District Historical Society on such links. On top of that, a group of local Queen’s alumni, including Brad Mills, Elizabeth Theobald and Gordon Craig, are looking for ideas and volunteers that will assist in developing coordinated programs during 2016 when Queen’s celebrates its 175th anniversary and Perth its 200th. The concept has the full support of the Queen’s administration and already

the school administration office. On the sports scene, the junior boys soccer team recently played at EOSSAA in Kemptville, winning all three of their games and beating St. Michael, St. Joseph and LaSalle high schools, becoming the first ever boys team to win EOSSAA from St. John. Congratulations go out to the entire team and coaches who participated in this competition! We are looking forward to seeing what these boys will do for the 2014-2015 season! Each spring, St. John produces a musical and this year it was “Anything Goes” by Cole Porter. Dress rehearsal performances ran early

last week, and the show opened Thursday for four shows – Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings and a Sunday matinee. There were 60 students involved in the play, as either actors, stage crew, band members or tech crew. The musical theatre course runs during second semester to allow students who are considering going into acting or stage production a taste of what being an actor/actress or producer is really like. Each leading female role was played by two separate actresses to allow a more than one student to have the spot light and to give each actress a break from the play. The students in the play had to memorize many songs and dances, as well as their script and blocking. It is a play about mistaken identity, gangsters dressed up as ministers and, of course, falling in love. It takes play on an ocean liner, heading from New York to England. We are very proud of everyone who participated in the play and we are glad to say that all four performances got a standing ovation and a rave review.

PDCI volleyball teams raise $1,800 for hospital Community - Our co-ed outdoor volleyball tournament took place last Monday. This tournament happens once a year and all students are invited to participate. We had over 150 participants and raised $1,800 for the hospital. Aside from this considerable donation we had a lovely day out in the sun. The winners of the senior pool were the “Sassy Setters” and the winner of the junior pool was “Beach Please”. Thanks to everyone who participated or helped organize this event. Exams are fast approaching and the schedules have been posted in the all the classrooms. With exams also comes summer and if you are looking for summer volunteer or employment opportunities please see Student Services.

Abby Brandon won the junior girls javelin with a personal best throw of 35.27m and added a fourth in shot put. Simon Guthrie finished second in the junior boys long jump with a distance of 5.74m, Vanessa Gray finished third in the senior girls 100m with a new school record of 12.49, and Mikeala Congreves finished fourth in the junior girls high jump, clearing 1.50m. These five athletes competed at OFSAA last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Mat Ferguson placed third in the Junior boys 110m hurdles and Abby Brandon came second in the Junior girls javelin. Guthrie, Congreves and Gray all did very well in their respective events. Congratulations to all of our OFSAA qualifiers and medal winners, and to the whole track and field team for having such a great season. Hope to see you out on the track next year!

I used to play with Al in a trio back in 1982-83 along with Ed Ashton of Perth. In 2002, while performing live on a Valley radio station I played this song during a broadcast. Used it also as a (rough) theme for my “Tales from the Valley” radio vignettes. It has been suggested that I should record this song. So we did, along with Valley darling, Darlene Thibault, (background vocals), super violin/fiddle player Wade Foster and Almonte’s Kurt Hahn (bass) with Carleton Place’s’ Kirk Armstrong as the producer.

The first mill was built at the foot of Sand Lake in 1828. In 1830, the first retail store was established by David Sinclair and the village became know as Manhards Mills. The Rideau Canal was opened in 1832.

Going full circle with neat tale to boot To the Editor, There once was a fellow in Carleton Place named Alliston Roberts who died of mysterious circumstances in 1987. He was just 35 years old. Now Al came from a rich Newfoundland family (that owned fish processing plants) but came to live in Carleton Place during the ’70s. He painted houses, buildings and such but was also a songwriter who played some gigs in local taverns and such. In 1982 he recorded an album at the former Marc 4 Studios in Ottawa that cost between $40,000 - $50,000 (1982 dollars) that was never released. A particular song, The Ottawa Waltz, was, but (for whatever the reason) never got the attention that it may well have deserved.

competition due to the number of bridge projects in the province. But to miss by 95 per cent! The lowest proposal for engineering services that was rejected by council offered many options such as reinforcement of the existing foundations that would have substantially reduced the cost. One of the reasons given for rejecting the lowest bid was that the difference would cost the township ‘only 10 cent dollars’ since the province was paying 90 per cent. Now Highlands taxpayers will pay 100 per cent of the difference. Three options are now being pursued: 1) an attempt to determine if the soil under the existing foundations is sufficient to allow them to be retained; 2) re-tendering the project early in 2015; and, 3) diverting the $1.2 million to another project (Galbraith bridge) with the hope that funds can be obtained for the French Line bridge under a future program. The last option would be a gamble as it was stated the French Line bridge will only last another two to three years. Council will now proceed with a request for proposal for the engineering services for the Galbraith bridge. It will be interesting to see if given the circumstances the same effort is made to award the contract to GD Jewell again. The way this project has been handled shows a lack of leadership and accountability and is, in my opinion, not the way our township should be run.

SAFETY TIPS Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas that can be deadly. This toxic gas is a by-product of the incomplete combustion of fuels such as natural gas, oil, gasoline or wood. THE EMC - P10 - Thursday, June 12, 2014

R0012747984_0612

To the Editor One of the reasons usually given for the high taxes in Lanark Highlands is the number of kilometers of roads (530) and the number of bridges (14) that must be maintained. It is always such a relief when a grant is received to improve a road or bridge so that problem is taken care of at least for a number of years. It is therefore so disappointing when a project receives funding and it is mishandled. I am referring to the French Line bridge replacement. First, an engineering firm – GD Jewell – a company that for whatever reason appears to have gained favour with staff and the majority of council, was given the opportunity without any competition to make the application for the funds for the project. Jewell’s estimate of the total cost of the project was $1.2 million and a grant for 90 per cent of that amount was approved. Next, when proposals were received for engineering services, council was presented with reports containing erroneous and misleading statements in order to justify awarding the contract to Jewell despite the fact their bid was 78 per cent higher than the lowest bid. The contract was eventually awarded to Jewell by a majority of council. So now the tenders for construction of the bridge have been received. The total cost of the lowest bid for construction plus the engineering costs is $2.335 million - nearly double (95 per cent over) the estimate. Jewell gave some reasons for the increase – the poor soil condition discovered would require piled foundations, the heavy demand for the girders has driven the price up and the lack of

Library head says staff getting ‘to the limit,’ calls for more workers desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – The head of the Perth library has told council that her staff is stretched to the limit, and she needs more workers. Elizabeth Goldman, the chief executive officer and chief librarian of the Perth and District Union Public Library, told Perth town council’s committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, June 3, that even with an operating surplus, “we have not been able to increase staff. We would love to be able to. We have been relying on volunteers‌ the staff has been working harder than ever. We are absolutely getting to the limit of what we can do with our existing staff,â€? said Goldman, who has also had to rely on contract staff to fill out duties, and that the increases in funding to the library were only about two per cent per year. She commended her volunteer staff, and added that she tries to give them “real roles,â€? that are “relevant,â€? but do not infringe on the work done by unionized staff. “We try to make it a rich expe-

rience,â€? she said. “We are trying to run the town frugally,â€? admitted Coun. Jim Boldt. “And you are doing a great job.â€? Council also heard that the library upgraded its Internet service last month, just in time for cottage season and that its renovation program was going well, with new carpets to be unveiled soon – which necessitated a shut down of a few days last week to get everything ready. In her annual report, Goldman said it was another busy year for the library. By the numbers it saw: • 134,400 physical books borrowed; • 8,900 e-books downloaded; • 127,200 people used the library, up two per cent; • 4,229 people attended library programs, up 39 per cent; • 9,115 requests for information were made; • 40 volunteers worked 1,300 hours; • 507,000 electronic uses were made (using the library web site or database) up 24 per cent; • a recent survey saw 96.8 per cent of responders call the library

“good or greatâ€?; • the summer reading goal for the library literacy club has been raised to 4,500 books; • 43 per cent of users were from Perth, 24.6 per cent were from Drummond/North Elmsley Township, 26.2 per cent from Tay Valley Township, and 6.2 per cent were non-residents (these numbers are for book and DVD withdrawals only); • 3,340 people or 57 per cent of Perth residents have a library card; and, • the library generated revenues of $638,865 and saw expenditures of $614,548, for a surplus of $24,317. Goldman also said that she was delighted that the expanded home delivery program was going so well, thanks to the help of volunteers, to get books to seniors’ homes and through community living. She thanked town council for eliminating the cap on the capital reserve. “That has helped us out a lot,â€? Goldman said, allowing for new infrastructure, like the new carpet, to be put down. In the coming year, the li-

brary will be looking at a more outcome-based evaluation of its programs, “so that we can tell you the impact we are having on the community.� “We are living in a rapidly changing world,� said Coun. Judy Brown. “Funding is a constant issue.� “You do a stellar job,� said

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell. “You can walk through those doors, pick up a book, and go anywhere in the world, and meet people long dead.� Coun. Jim Graff pointed out that his grandchildren, when they visit from Georgetown, Ont., enjoy the experience of visiting the Perth library.

“They do not have to be dragged,� said Graff. Coun. Beth Peterkin commended the library’s after-school programming for teenagers, in particular, the media lab, the first of its kind in eastern Ontario. “I would much rather see them at this library than out on the street,� said Peterkin.

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Perth is considering charging stations for electric-powered cars. Mayor John Fenik has asked town staff to prepare a report looking at the feasibility of such an idea. He said such a move would be “a visual representation of how green (a) community we are,� during town council’s committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, June 3. “Maybe it is something we can think about in the next budget cycle.� Deputy Mayor John Gemmell said he had stayed in several hotels during a recent trip to the Maritimes, and saw several such re-fueling bays in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Fenik said he saw a similar bay in Ottawa’s Westboro neighbourhood. “I think it is a good idea,� said Gemmell. Coun. Jim Boldt, however, raised concerns

about stopping at just one bay. “I do not know that one space is enough,� Boldt said. “Maybe three, four spaces?� adding that even one space may mean that a parking spot is lost in town. Coun. Judy Brown raised a more financial concern about the plan. “I appreciate that we are a green community, but why are we in the business of supplying energy to cars that use electricity and not to cars that use gas?� she asked. Fenik replied that the driver of the electrical car would likely purchase the electricity with his or her credit card, so there would be little financial cost to the town – merely set up costs. Gemmell added that, if the plan does pass muster with town staff, that a possible partnership between the town and Canadian Tire, for example, might be a consideration.

THE EMC - 36 - Thursday, June 12, 2014

On Saturday, June 7th, in his 78th year, surrounded by his family, Jack left the world as he had lived his life: with courage and dignity. Predeceased by his parents, Hal and Beth (Steele), his infant son John and his precious son Joseph (2006), he will be forever missed by his loving and cherished wife, Beverley, his adoring children Jimmy (Crystal Lemay), Mary, Catherine (Christopher Newton) and Jacqueline (Gene Bruce); his beautiful grandchildren: Alexa, Leah, Olivia, Madeline, Adam, Jackson, Clara, Clayton, Celeste and Atley; his devoted brother James T. Kirkland of Toronto; his daughters-inlaw Louise Kirkland and Lisa Giffin; special family friend Freddy Laphen, and his many wonderful friends and colleagues. Jack practiced law in Smiths Falls for 54 years. He went to work until his body could no longer take him there three weeks ago. He was the consummate small town lawyer – he did a little bit of everything, but he flourished in criminal law, because he loved the drama of the courtroom. The law was his calling, as he was a keen observer of the human condition, and fierce defender of the underdog. He will be sorely missed by the many people whose lives he has touched. Honouring Jack’s request, there will be a private family celebration of his life and no visitation or funeral. In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted (aidwyc.org).

RICHARDS, WILF In memory of our beloved son, brother, brother-in-law and uncle who passed away June 16, 2010. The moment that you died Our hearts were torn in two, One side filled with heartache, The other died with you. We often lie awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it everyday, But missing you is heartache That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts And there you will remain. Love Mom and Dad Bob, Diana and family Janet, Mike and family Diane, Peter and family

IN MEMORIAM

WYNN, Gloria - June 11, 2012 If lilacs grow in Heaven Lord Please pick a bunch for us Place them in our mother’s arms And tell her they’re from us. Tell her we love her and miss her And when she turns to smile Place a kiss upon her cheek And hold her for a while. In our hearts her memory lingers Sweetly tender, fond and true There is not a day dear Mother That we do not think of you. With love from Penny, Matt and families xoxo

HAUGHIAN April 20, 1934June 2, 2014 Ed was born in Perth, Ontario and raised on the family farm at Stanleyville. After leaving school he took the Harvest Train to Saskatchewan, where he worked in Unity before returning home to Ontario. He got his start in retail working as a stock boy at Stedman’s, where he quickly moved up the ranks to a managerial position. From there he took a job at Zellers, where he worked for many years. With his wife Terry, whom he had met in Kapuskasing, and their two daughters, he saw much of the country - from Ontario to BC working as a store manager for Zellers, transferred on average every two years. In 1973, he left retail and embarked on a new career in the insurance industry. By his second year, he had made the Million Dollar Round Table, and was hooked. He became more and more interested in the financial planning aspect of the business and in 1984 formed his own company, Comprehensive Planning Services. He soon developed a wide rural client base; coming from a farm background himself, he could relate to the farmers and he always enjoyed their down-to-earth hospitality. He remained in the business until 2002, when he was forced to retire due to complications from diabetes. He and Terry enjoyed many years at their log cabin at Candle Lake, where many of their neighbours became great friends. A longtime member of the Fish and Game League, Ed loved fishing and hunting. He and Terry also enjoyed holidays away, from road trips to Alaska and winter getaways to their Texas property, to cruises and trips to Hawaii. After the death of his wife, Ed spent a year at Caleb Manor in Saskatoon before moving to Winnipeg, where he lived first at Sturgeon Creek Retirement Residence and then at Misericordia Place. He was an inveterate joke-teller, often leading with “Did you hear about the baby born last week who was half-human and half-animal...?” Shortly after his 80th birthday, which included his favourite lobster feast, Ed passed away suddenly on June 2, 2014. He was predeceased by his wife of 50 years Terry (Marie-Thérése Brisson) in 2009 and his parents, Urbin and Marguerite (Pennett) Haughian. He is survived by his sister Terry Emery and brother Leo Haughian, as well as his two daughters, Linda (Blaine ) Haubrich and Karen Haughian (Gord Shillingford), and his four grandchildren, Lindsay, Evan, Rochelle, and Griffin. The family wishes to thank all the staff at Misericordia Place, Cornish 2 for the wonderful care they provided during Ed’s stay there. In keeping with his wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be a private family memorial at a later date with interment at Gravelbourg Cemetery. Flowers gratefully declined.

Campaign helps spread message of texting while driving dangers News – Do you text when you drive? Here’s a simple message: ‘DONT!’ June is Brain Injury Awareness month. Through the ‘Drive Only‌ Never Text (DONT) campaign launched recently, the Ontario Brain Injury Association (OBIA), along with affiliated community brain injury associations across Ontario, are encouraging Ontarians to become more aware of the potential for brain injuries due to motor vehicle crashes caused by distracted driving - including driving while texting or talking on a cell phone. According to the Ontario Alliance for Action on Brain Injury, approximately 18,000 brain injuries occur in Ontario each year. In fact, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability for people under the age of 44 and kills more people under the age 20 than all other causes combined. “Brain injuries can range from mild to severe, but all brain injuries can have lasting effects,â€? said Ruth Wilcock, executive director of OBIA. “Sadly, a brain injury is a lifelong condition with varying degrees of disability ranging from minor to those requiring complete 24/7 care. Those experiencing a traumatic brain injury require immediate care at a trauma centre, acute care in the hospital as necessary and intensive rehabilitation in a brain injury facility and often long term follow up by professionals in the field.â€? Quick facts: • Brain injury is the leading killer and disabler of people under the age of 44 and kills more people under the age 20 than any other causes combined. (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). • Acquired brain injury is 15 times more common than spinal cord injury, 30 times more common than breast cancer and 400 times more common than HIV/AIDS. (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). • 40 per cent of Acquired Brain Injury survivors sustained their brain injury as a result of an automobile collision (2012 OBIA Impact Report). • Distracted driving is cited as a causal factor in 30 to 50 per cent of traffic collisions in Ontario, but is probably much higher due to underreporting. (Ontario Provincial Police). • Texting while driving is the same as driving blind for five seconds at a time (VA. Tech Transportation Institute). In three seconds, at sixty kilometres per hour you travel 50 metres – that’s the distance across half a football field. (Ontario Ministry of Transportation). The 2014 DONT campaign has been generously sponsored by Mazin and Associates PC and the Ontario Brain Injury Association.

See ‘Perth Through the Ages,’ with new historic walking tour desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – A team of young actors will be bringing Perth’s history to life through a new walking tour starting this summer. “We are focusing on dramatizations,” said Madison Reid, during a presentation with her brother Adam Reid — who are both involved in the program — at Perth town council’s committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, June 3. “It is a historical, guided walking tour of Perth.” “(It is) a tour but also a play,” said Adam of “Perth Through the Ages.” The duo said that the program would be simultaneously educational and entertaining. “We are excited to be sharing Perth’s history,” said Madison. “Our goal is to pump Perth up,” added Adam. The first version of tours will run from June 25 to Aug. 3, while the second tour of duty, so to speak, will be from Aug. 4

to Aug. 31. The dress rehearsal will be held at Lanark Lodge on June 27. The tours provide jobs to five local youth, and to encourage families to come out, children 12 and under are free. “We are trying to market this not just to Perth residents… but also to visitors,” said Adam. The first tour will take the following route: * Start: Matheson House (Perth Museum) 11 Gore St. E. * Old Perth Courier office, 39 Gore St. E. * Along the Tay Canal. * Up past the Crystal Palace, near the Mammoth Cheese. * Royal Canadian Legion branch 244, 26 Beckwith St. E. * Bridge Master’s House and swing bridge (Beckwith Street) * Perth Curling Club, 33 Beckwith St. E. Photo by DESMOND DEVOY * St. James Anglican Church, 12 HarLaurel Smith salutes Deputy Mayvey St. * Perth court house and jail, 44 Drum- or John Gemmell on June 3.

mond St. E. Laurel Smith, the artistic producer for the Classic Theatre Festival, which is helping run the tours, also told council that it will not conflict with other attractions in the summer time, like the Stewart Park Festival. “We are trying to keep the tour away from the downtown core because it is so noisy,” said Smith. Madison revealed that some less-savoury parts of Perth’s history would also be dramatized during the walk, though she joked that they would steer clear of the ongoing senate scandals. Coun. Jim Boldt joked there were some aspects of Perth history that would be hard to replicate with such a minimalist drama production. “I don’t know how you will fake a hanging,” at the old Perth jail, he said, “but Deputy Mayor Gemmell has volunteered to be the guy you hang!”

for the Classic Theatre Festival, at St. James’ Anglican church auditorium, which will be transformed “into a theatre space,” said Smith. The festival will highlight a trilogy of Neil Simon plays, starting with one of his earliest works, Come Blow Your Horn, running from July 11 to Aug. 3. Also on the schedule is the classic murder mystery Dial M For Murder, by Frederick Knott, which runs from Aug. 8 to 11. “This is our first murder mystery,” said Smith. There will be other improvements to this year’s theatre-going experience. “We have had some issues with all of our technical equipment,” she said, so, the equipment will now be rented. She added that about 70 per cent of the theatre festival’s audience is made up of out-of-towners – ironically, the name of another Neil Simon play – and that they tend to stay overnight. Theatre festival “We are like a little Stratford,” said A new season means a new home Graff in praising both productions.

Community – Heart to Heart Quilts of Lanark County held an open house at St. Paul’s United Church in Perth on Thursday, June 5, to let the community know of the good work that they do for those in need of a warm quilt. Their quilts are given out to those who are battling cancer, dealing with ALS, or Multiple Sclerosis. On the other side, the 22 volunteers make, on average, between 25 and 30 baby quilts for the new arrivals at the Smiths Falls site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital every month, which are given to the auxiliary. The group meets at the church every second and fourth Thursday of the month, except for July and August. It takes about two weeks to make a full-sized quilt. Quilts are made at no cost to the recipient. To request a quilt for a friend or family member, please contact the group at hhquilts13@gmail.com, or by calling 613-284-0815 or 613-273-9755. The group is a registered charity and official tax receipts are available upon request. Donations can be made by calling Jane Laut at 613-267-4508.

Perth Historical Society presents a heritage musical evening Community - The Perth Historical Society’s regular meeting on June 19, will bring back one of our local musical groups, Perth-Upon-Tay Musical Heritage. They will close this season with an evening of music and tales, sprinkled with fun. The theme for this performance will trace the animosity and conflicting points of view between those who favoured a temperance lifestyle and those who found that indulging in “strong drink” was more to their liking. This theme will be presented in music and song combined with stories and other selections taken from the Bathurst Courier during the period 1835 to 1870. Perth-Upon-Tay Musical

Heritage is named after the song, Perth-Upon-Tay, the words and music of which unfortunately have been lost. The members participating for this evening are Janet Coward, Glenn Kerridge, Val Leavitt, Brent McLaren and Rebecca Worden. This will be their third visit, and as previously, the program is influenced by events reported in the Bathurst Courier. The group’s earlier visits revealed unknown facts about the social life of Perth during its formative years in the 1800s, and showed us how those early residents were entertained. This month promises the same. Our entertainers of today have fun while telling the stories of yes-

teryear. This is our last meeting for the 2013-2014 season. We will resume again in September. However, we draw your attention to the many activities taking place in Perth and District over the summer months. In addition, there are two museums in Perth worth viewing. The Perth Museum is located in Matheson House at 11 Gore St. E. in Perth. Currently, the Made in Perth Exhibit – Manufacturing Past and Present depicting Perth’s industrial history is on display in the Inderwick Wing until October 31, 2014. Plus, information about local activities is available at the Perth Tourism and Visitor Information

Centre also located in the Inderwick Wing. Matheson House, the Perth Museum and the Tourism and Visitor Information Centre are all open daily. The Hall of Remembrance, a military museum commemorating the stories of residents of Perth in respect of the conflicts they participated in, is located in the Perth-Upon-Tay Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion at 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth. For information about visiting this museum, phone the Legion’s office at 613-267-4400, or the lounge at 613-267-1148. The Perth Historical Society is dedicated to learning about and popularizing our history. It is a forum for discussion and cel-

ebration of our area’s culture and heritage. The meetings are open to the public, on the third Thursday of each month, at 7:30 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, PerthUpon-Tay, Branch 244, home of the Hall of Remembrance, at 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth. A “Toonie Fee” applies for each meeting. For information, contact Ellen Dean at 613-264-8362 or David Taylor at 613-264-0094.

Missionary zeal brings story of Prophet Muhammad to life in Perth By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Instead of preaching to the converted, Ata-ul-Wahid LaHaye preached as the converted. LaHaye, who sits on the national executive of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at community in Canada, has the rather unique title of being in charge of looking after new converts to Islam. And though last week’s presentation of “Muhammad: The Astonishing Story of the Prophet” was intended to inform the Perth community about the life of their prophet Muhammad, rather then evangelize for the faith, the zeal of the convert still shone through. “Tonight, it is my job… to take all of us on a journey,” said LaHaye, standing on the stage of the Perth Studio Theatre on Wednesday, June 4. “Our final destination won’t be any place you have been before. If I do my job right, if just for a fleeting moment, (I will) bring us into the presence of God Himself.” The land of Arabia back in the sixth century was, by LaHaye’s own admission, “an age of ignorance and darkness.” For a man born in humble beginnings in the town of Mecca in modern-day Saudi Arabia, Muhammad’s arrival was foretold in a rather grand fashion. The presentation put forward the belief that Muhammad was descended from a strong, biblical lineage. The Prophet Abraham appears in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament of the bible. Through his son Isaac, prophets and leaders such as Moses, Jesus, Jacob and Joseph are able to trace their lineage. The line of Abraham’s other son, Ishmael, is a little bit more obscure by com-

Perth Mayor John Fenik meets with members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at youth choir from Ottawa at the Studio Theatre in Perth on June 4. They were joined by regional president for eastern Ontario Ashraf Sial, far left, and Imtiaz Ahmed, a missionary, far right. parison, but Muslims believe that he settled in or around Mecca, and that Muhammad is descended from him. Just as the infant Jesus did not cry, so too did those around the infant Muhammad notice that this was no ordinary child. “His mother knew he was no ordinary child,” he said. Any great person has to contend with hardship, and Muhammad was no exception. His father died before he was born, and his mother died when he was six years old. He was taken in by a beloved grandfather, but he too died about two years afterwards. He was then raised by his uncle. This made the young Muhammad all too aware of suffering, and he began to move away from the prevalent superstition of the day, as well as common vices like gambling, drinking, and illicit relations. When he was 25 years old he took a wife. Not surprising for a

man of that era, but more surprising was that it was his wife-to-be – 15 years his senior, no less – who proposed marriage. She was a well-to-do woman herself, but, upon their marriage, he freed all of her slaves. Muhammad became weary of the idol-worshiping, corruption and vendettas he saw being carried out around him. “His anguish drove him to shun social contact,” he said, so, like Jesus walking in the desert for 40 days, or Moses standing atop Mount Sinai, in 610 AD, he made off for a cave for a time of praying and meditating. “It was a human soul seeking divine light and understanding,” he said. It was here that he received his first divine revelation. “Put yourself in that cave at that time. It is dark, it is quiet.” Suddenly, you are aware of another presence. “You have gone, in an instant, from absolute peace to absolute

terror,” said LaHaye. “You do not know what is happening.” In the cave, he heard the audible voice of God. “That experience has left you trembling and terrified. (Afterwards) it is peaceful, (but) it is not quiet.” After this, he ran home to his wife, who became his first convert. They sought out one of her cousins, who had converted from paganism to Christianity and knew scripture. He spoke to Muhammad and then prophesized that an angel had indeed descended on Muhammad – and that he would, in time, be driven out of Mecca by his own people. At the time, there were 360 idols in Mecca, nearly one for every day of the year. “To reject them over Muhammad and his followers and their one God? Inconceivable,” said LaHaye. And yet, he went about proclaiming his belief in one God, stating publicly that angels were sending him messages from God. One of his converts was an African slave named Bilal, who was tortured for his beliefs – but never gave up his belief in only one God, even as his torment continued. “When was a prophet’s message ever been met with anything other than disdain, abuse and mocking?” asked LaHaye. Here, Muhammad and his followers entered a time of great suffering. And yet, he continued to preach the word. He was rejected at a village in the desert, and as he left, empty-handed, the children of the village ran after him, taunting him as he walked. “You would think that, at this point in his life, he would have given up,” said LaHaye. “But remember, this is a story of perseverance.”

Following more than a decade of persecution, Muslims migrated to the city of Medina. On the night he was to leave Mecca, a group of Meccans lay in wait, hoping to kill Muhammad. But he and an aide, Abu Bakr, slipped by, undetected, in disguise. Practice in peace In Medina, they found a place where they could “practice their religion in peace.” In that town, Muhammad helped craft the Charter of Medina, which promised equal rights for all of the city’s citizens, be they Jew, Christian, Pagan or Muslim, and attempted to end inter-tribal fighting. “Here we discover that Muhammad never enforced his sharia law on anyone,” said LaHaye. However, “by no means were things rosy and easy for Muhammad and his followers.” In fact, the Meccans were still causing him grief, making preparations “for all-out war. They brought war to the prophet’s door.” The Meccans called Muslims “a disease.” The war ensued and, making things all the more fraught, “bear in mind that they were all very close relatives,” although fighting on opposite sides. In time, Muhammad’s forces won the war, taking over Mecca, but his victory was not to be a vengeful one, according to LaHaye. “The prophet would never abuse those who abused him,” insisted LaHaye. “He desperately hated war.” As such, he signed a rather lopsided peace treaty with the Meccans – lopsided in their favour. “It is one of the few times that his followers openly disagreed

with him,” said LaHaye. After 13 years of persecution, and eight years of war, “what would you do?” LaHaye asked. Some would be forgiven for wanting to settle scores and seek revenge and retribution. But Muhammad told his former Meccan enemies, “I will treat you like the prophet Joseph did with his brothers,” referring to the Old Testament story of Joseph and his coat of many colours. Muhammad declared a general amnesty, absolving people of their crimes. But LaHaye noted that this part of the story is often missed in modern tellings of Muhammad’s life. “That is what is observed, when the world only sees the battle and not the victory,” he said. Muhammad did allow his followers their moment of glory though – letting Bilal climb to the top of a tower and call out the Muslim call to prayer, in the city where he had once been tortured for his beliefs. “This is the victory of Islam,” said LaHaye. The presentation closed with the words of Muhammad himself: “Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.” Imtiaz Ahmed, a missionary for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at community, explained during a pre-presentation interview, that some perceptions of Islam are not understood by those outside of the faith. Even within the faith, there are divisions. “I do not believe… in your definition of jihad,” said Ahmed, of how his community views other definitions of jihad. “It is not what they believe, to go out and kill innocent people.” Rather, for him and his community, “it is a struggle within yourself, to make yourself better.” With files from Sarah Wahidi

Two PDCI athletes earn provincial medals for first time in 11 years Sports - Abby Brandon and Mathew Ferguson accomplished something at the OFSAA track and field championships in Mississauga last week that hadn’t been done in 11 years by a PDCI student: they came home with medals! Brandon, sitting in fourth position going into her last throw in the junior girls javelin, threw 34.95m to win the silver medal against the best in the province. Minutes earlier, Mathew Ferguson capped off an incredible season in the junior boys 100m hurdles by winning the bronze medal by .003 seconds over the fourth place finisher. Ferguson had established new meet records in

each of his previous eight track meets this season. These are the first medals won by PDCI athletes since Sultana Frizell rewrote the record books in 2003. Also competing at OFSAA for the Blue Devils were Vanessa Gray who finished ninth in the senior girls 100m, Mikaela Congreves, 16th in junior girls high jump, and Simon Guthrie who finished 16th in the junior boys long jump. Brandon also added a 16th in shot put, while Ferguson placed 23rd in the 300m hurdles after falling at the first hurdle, and 15th in the high jump.

Golfers dodge thunderstorm on links By BOB BURCH

Sports - The Perth Golf Course Men’s Tuesday Twilight League drew 68 members out to play on June 3. We were able to dodge the thunderstorm and enjoyed a lovely evening of golf.

The league sponsored the play tonight and provided the prizes for lucky golfers. We currently have 80 members in our league

Our

and expect to pick up about 10 more over the summer. There is still room for more members and you are welcome to come and join us. Long drives were by JP Lesage, Mitch Fowler, Bob Pelletier, Steve Dier and Joe Jarbeau. Russ Horne earned the entry to the Burns Jewelers sponsored draw for a gift certificate and Joe Jarbeau was closest to the pin on No. 15 to take the Lanark Landing gift certificate. It was reported back that Joe just missed a hole in one by a couple of inches. Maybe next week Joe.

Mary Cook receives 60-year pin from local chapter of IODE ceived a Past Regent’s brooch,” Docker said. “Therefore, on behalf of the members of the Captain Hooper chapter it is my pleasure to present her with this pin. Congratulations!” Cook was age 17 when she attended her very first IODE meeting in Carleton Place, and the gatherings were then held at the former Mississippi Hotel on Bridge Street. “The next time I went was just after I got married (to Wally),” the recipient said. After moving to Tillsonburg, Cook officially joined the organization, and “I’ve held every (IODE) office except treasurer.” “I can’t balance my chequebook,” she joked, “and there’s no way I am going to touch the money.” After stops in Sarnia and Windsor, the Cooks moved back home.

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – Legendary writer and storyteller Mary Cook of Carleton Place received her 60-year pin as a member of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) June 5, surrounded by her daughter Mindy Merkley and other IODE members. IODE is a women’s charitable organization based in Canada, founded in 1900 by Margaret Polson Murray. Its mission is to improve the quality of life for children, youth and those in need by way of educational, social service and citizenship programs. There are in the region of 380 IODE chapters. Held during the Captain Hooper chapter’s June potluck dinner and meeting at Waterside Retirement Community, the presentation to Cook was kept a surprise. The Captain Hooper chapter began in Carleton Place on Feb. 12, 1917, and today there are 37 members. “We are here tonight to honour one of our IODE members, Mark Cook,” Captain Hooper chapter president Bev Shepley announced. “What?” a shocked Cook cried out. “This is insane!” Past national president and IODE Walter Baker chapter member Ann Dyer presented Cook with a 60-year pin and certificate that “recognizes your valued and continuing service to our organization.” “I am here tonight on behalf of national president Anne Mason,” Dyer said. Reading a statement from Mason, Dyer said: “Your dedicated volunteer work for IODE Captain Hooper chapter has made a significant difference to those in need across Canada. I thank you for your spirit of volunteerism and wish you continued success as you represent IODE so capably and enthusiastically.”

“It doesn’t matter where you go, you meet people who are connected in some way with IODE,” Cook said, “and it’s been a joy for me.” She noted many of these wonderful individuals have become her good friends. “I didn’t know I was coming to meet ‘the’ Mary Cook,” Dyer said. “I’ve been reading her column for years.” A Valley girl, Cook’s column is featured weekly in the Canadian Gazette and other Metroland Media community newspapers. Furthermore, she spent an impressive 48 years on radio, earned seven ACTRA awards and wrote 11 best-selling Canadian books. Last month Captain Hooper chapter member Shelagh Rolfe received a 50-year pin.

The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire’s (IODE) past national president and Walter Baker chapter member Ann Dyer presents Captain Hooper chapter member Mary Cook with a 60-year pin and certificate. “I’m not very bright,” Cook joked. “I wondered why my daughter was here.” “Thank you very much,” she continued. “I am very proud to wear my badge, and hopefully I can continue my membership and service for many years to come.” “Mary almost didn’t come tonight because it’s her 63rd wedding anniversary,” Shepley said. “However, they are now going to celebrate on Saturday night.”

More accolades followed for Cook last week, including a bouquet of flowers, cake and another pin. “Over the last 60 years I’m quite certain Mary has been Regent more than once,” Captain Hooper chapter member Hilda Docker. Regent is the historical IODE name for president. Going through the records in her possession, Docker noted Cook’s last time was for three years, 19791982. “I recently learned she never re-

Windsor-built 1937 Dodge celebrates 100 years of Dodge

Are you new to the neighbourhood? Had a baby? Planning a wedding?

However, all other companies used the pattern we know today and Dodge by the 1920s fell into line. In 1928, Walter Chrysler brought out a new low-priced car called the Plymouth. He also brought out a new car for the medium-priced field called the DeSoto. In that same year, he bought the Dodge Company, making him a serious rival to GM and Ford. That’s when people began talking about the Big Three. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to Brian Owens’ 1937 Dodge D5 rumble seat coupe. 1965.”

R0012742634

Community – A letter arrived from Brian Owens in Ajax, Ontario: “Hi Bill, I purchased my 1937 Dodge D5 rumble seat coupe many years ago and spent five years locating the many NOS (New Old Stock) parts for the restoration. I started the project in 1998. It took me nine years to finish it. “In the spring of 2005, it was back on the road and I have driven it to Chrysler meets inVermont and Michigan, and to local events. In June of this year, we are going to Auburn Hills, Michigan, for the 100th anniversary of the Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company.” Brian’s 1937 Dodge D5 coupe with rumble seat had a Windsor factory list price of $895 and Toronto delivered for $1052. The D5 series had a wheelbase of 115 inches, identical to the American Dodge and three inches more than the two smaller Canadian-built Dodges based on the Plymouth. Brian Owens’ Dodge has a flathead six engine of 218 cubic inches with 87 horsepower. “Switch to Dodge and save Money” said the ads. As early as 1903, John and Horace Dodge began building car parts for other manufacturers in Detroit and made a fortune. One of their best customers was Henry Ford, and the Dodge Brothers (as they called themselves) delivered engines to Ford’s new company by taking them through the streets of Detroit on wagons hauled by teams of horses. In 1914 they decided to build a Dodge Brothers car, and the first one, labeled a 1915 model, rolled through the streets of Detroit in November of 1914. It was an instant hit, and when the two brothers died in 1920, they were multi-millionaires and left their families very wealthy. In the early years, just about every Dodge had a 3-speed floor shift with a shift pattern opposite to everyone else. First gear was where you would expect to find reverse, second was where first would normally be, third was where second was, and reverse where third was. This was extremely practical because once you got the car rolling along in high gear, the shift lever was up against the dashboard and out of the way of passengers’ legs.

Several sticky situations trouble readers this week Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

ders are another often-forgotten lube point and need special attention during the winter. I received an email recently from a western reader with a concern on a sticking accelerator on his 2001 Honda Accord. He had prepared a blasting letter to Honda Canada demanding something be done before he and any passengers were injured or worse. He asked for my opinion on this concern. Nowhere in his email or letter to Honda did he indicate if any qualified tech had checked things out to determine a cause. While unintended accelerations are frightening and risky, asking a carmaker to jump to action on a 14-year-old vehicle with no model history of this condition and without a proper diagnosis, is pretty much a waste of time. Vehicles can develop safety issues for any number of reasons both as a result of poor design/workmanship and as a result of age, mileage, or lack of maintenance. My advice to this reader was to immediately get his vehicle checked by a competent and experienced technician and be prepared to pay for the required repairs or to park the vehicle and to save the stamp.

This Father’s Day weekend (you didn’t forget Dad, did you?) is a busy one for car shows and a great opportunity to take dear old (or young) Dad out to soak up some chrome rays. On Saturday, June 14, the Italian Car Parade and Retro Show hosted by the Italian Car Club of Ottawa will be held on Preston Street in Ottawa at 1:30 p.m. Check out www.italiancarclubottawa.ca for more details. And in Isidore at the arena parking lot, the Duck Festival Car Show goes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. See www.festivalducanardetdelaplume.ca for more information. Also on June 14, the Richmond Family Day Car Show happens at the Richmond Fairgrounds with the Fireman’s Chicken Barbecue (yum!) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On both Saturday and Sunday, June 14 and 15, the Odessa Flea Market & Car Show hosted by the Upper Canada region of the Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada goes at the Odessa Fairgrounds. On Father’s Day the fifth annual Father’s Day Show’n’Shine is on at Riverside Park in Kemptville from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The gate will be accepting canned goods or non-perishable food items in support of the Kemptville Salvation Army Food Bank. Breakfast and lunch will be served by the Kemptville Royal Canadian Legion. Their famous burnout contest will liven things up and there will be live music by Cadillac Rumble. And of course no Father’s Day would be complete without a visit to

the Billings Estate Father’s Day Show in Ottawa with its spotlight on Canadian built cars. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by

Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, My problem is that I had a flat tire and found out that my spare was not coming down from its position. Actually, no surprise really as it’s a 2008 Ranger, under coated each year before winter storage, and I’ve never had to use the spare. However it would not come down when I shoved the rod in and turned. Apparently it has to be cut down to get it loose. What a solution! Because then I have to carry it in the bed and I have no room for that option as I load it up with herbs for the market. What to do? Try rust solvent? No one talked to me or anyone else about some preventative maintenance on this issue in 60 years of driving. George from the Herb Garden Almonte George raises a great point as few service providers, no matter how great they are, ever take the time to lubricate under-carriage spare tire carriers and winches during routine maintenance. We, on this side of the service counter, often expect customers to look after certain things on their own, in between services, such as tire pressure and fluid checks and washer fluid top-ups. But it really isn’t reasonable to expect a car owner to crawl underneath their vehicle on their driveway to lower the spare tire and effectively lubricate the mechanisms. If your vehicle has an ‘under-slung’ spare tire and is over two years old, have your service garage lower the tire and lubricate the winch, cable, and any other mechanism that needs attention.

Chef offers up tasty treat for film-goers Does your business serve the wedding industry? MOVIE: Chef STARRING: Jon Favreau, John Leguizamo, Emjay Anthony, Sofia Vergara, Scarlet Johansson, Dustin Hoffman and Oliver Platt DIRECTOR: Jon Favreau RATING: 14A

THE WEDDING TRENDS.COM

TRENDS

Lifestyle – With this gig I get to see a lot of movies, but I don’t get to see all the movies. I often have to make a choice between two or more films. I could have seen Tom Cruise save the world again, but instead I opted out of the usual summer fare for Chef. Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) may not have been a great husband, and he may be lacking as a father, but he is a true artist in the kitchen. He strives to be innovative, but is often hampered by his boss, and restaurant owner Riva (Dustin Hoffman). Still he has a good job until one bad day. A famous food critic, Ramsey Michel (Oliver Platt), gives him a bad review. Carl doesn’t take it well, and it leads to him losing his mind in a public display of frustration targeted at Ramsey. Unfortunately the whole thing is filmed and put on the internet. Then it goes viral. Fired and with no hope of finding a job Carl’s ex-wife, Inez (Sofia Vergara), talks him

My Take MARK HASKINS

into coming with her and their son Percy (Emjay Anthony) to Miami. It’s a bit of a set-up because she gets Carl a meeting with her other ex-husband, Marvin (Robert Downey Jr.), who wants to set Carl up with a food truck. It’s kind of a crazy idea, but Carl goes for it. The next thing you know Carl and Percy are cleaning up the truck and setting it up. Next, Carl’s best friend and line cook Martin (John Leguizamo) comes out to join them. The three decide to drive the truck back to L.A. stopping at various cities along the way to show off their culinary delights. It’s a chance for Carl to jumpstart his creativity. It’s a chance for him to bond with his son. It’s a chance for redemption. Chef is a quiet and beautiful film. It’s a simple story about a man trying to figure out what’s really important, and it’s told with an eloquence that’s too seldom seen in the movies.

Chef is funny, and moving all at the same time. Chef is able to completely absorb your attention with its story and its characters. Favreau quite deftly proves that’s all a good film needs. Dustin Hoffman, Scarlet Johansson, Bobby, Cannavle, Oliver Platt, Sofia Vergara, and Robert Downey Jr. are the kind of cast that makes acting look easy. Emjay Anthony for such a young actor shows incredible depth as Percy. John Leguizamo is brilliant, and the way he clicks with Favreau is electric. Jon Favreau portrays Carl Casper with real lust and passion. He knows this character so intimately that his performance is effortless. It’s a joy to watch. No aliens were killed, no robots were blown up, and no cities were destroyed. Chef is simple, honest filmmaking, and a true work of beauty. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

RELAY FOR LIFE 2014 Relay for Life raises over $100,000 for cancer research, support By TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – As cancer survivors walked around Gemmill Park in Almonte on Friday night the crowd cheered. It was a night to celebrate their victory over the disease and raise money for cancer research and support for other survivors. And the third annual Mississippi Mills Relay for Life did both of those things, raising more than $101,000 with more donations still coming in. “It was a great event and the weather was fantastic,” said media co-chair Moira Wilkie. She admitted the total was down from the $125,208 the event raised last year when 40 teams participated compared to this year when they only had 25 teams, with 300 participants. “This year’s teams were all really good quality teams and really got behind the fundraising,” said Wilkie. “We raised quite a lot more per team this year.” The team’s spirit was on display with many colourful and fun costumes and Ladies Under Construction won the spirit award with great energy throughout “There was tons of enthusiasm,” said Julie Munro, event operations/entertainment. “I love the creativity people took with the retro theme.” The evening started with Lorraine Rawlins speaking at the survivor’s reception, she was one of 37 cancer survivors who attended the reception. “She spoke from the survivor’s point of view and just really put the crowd at ease,” said Wilkie. “She talked about how cancer changed her and made her stronger.” During the official opening ceremony, Sarah Robertson from Almonte, spoke of years of caring for both her parents, who passed away from cancer and supporting her sister whose son also died of cancer. As she spoke you could have heard a pin drop as she had the crowd mesmerized with her powerful story. She challenged everyone with some lasting words. “Never be shy to tell someone you love them,” Robertson said. She concluded by telling the crowd why she has been involved with Relay for Life for 15 years, previously with the Lombardy event. “I Relay to see a yellow shirt (that the survivors wear). My biggest source of strength is to see the survivors,” said Robertson. Wilkie was extremely moved by Robertson’s speech, as well as many others who wiped away tears away as Robertson spoke. “She was such a good speaker and spoke right from the heart,” said Wilkie. “Relay is so much fun you sometimes forget that you are raising money for cancer and Sarah’s speech really brought it home on why we relay.” After dusk, almost 1,000 luminaries that lined the track were lit. “It was an absolutely beautiful mo-

ment,” said Wilkie. “The lap after they are lit is really touching because you see the ones you put out and the ones with other people’s names on them.” Each luminary is a white bag featuring a candle inside. On the outside it has the names of survivors or loved ones who have passed away from cancer. Planning for next year is already under way with 74 people already registered with seven brand new teams. In 2013, there were 487 relays held

across Canada with more than 161,000 participants and more than 33,000 cancer survivors raised $46.5 million. The money raised funds cancer research, compassionate services and support for those living with cancer and ways to stop cancer before it starts by promoting healthy lifestyles and advocating for policies that protect our health.

Continue to focus on finding cures The Canadian Cancer Society is the largest national charitable funder of cancer research in Canada. Today, more than 60 per cent of Canadians

diagnosed with cancer will survive compared to about 25 per cent in the early 1940s when we started funding research. Despite the drop in deaths, cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada.

Take action against cancer now! Changing public policy is one of the most effective tools for preventing cancer and helping those living with and beyond cancer. The best way to change public policy is for Canadians to speak up and make our collective voices heard. Funding of take home cancer drugs It is estimated that 2 out of 5 Canadians are expected to develop cancer in their lifetime. Cancer is stressful enough without adding the extra burden of financial stress and anxiety related to drug access. Unfortunately, the current system in Ontario often does create this additional stress, and at times delays or prevents patients from accessing cancer medications. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that Ontario develop a provincial program that provides full coverage for eligible cancer drugs taken at home. Ontario has the opportunity to study and review the programs in the other provinces and develop a program that is right for Ontario. It is essential that stakeholders, including the Society, Cancer Care Ontario, patients, and the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, be part of the discussion and involved in the development of the program. Flavoured tobacco In order to remain profitable, the tobacco industry must find new smokers to replace those who die from tobacco related disease or quit. Flavoured tobacco products are designed to appeal to youth and are available in candy and fruit flavours and are often wrapped in shiny

youth-friendly packaging. The Canadian Cancer Society is asking the government to #endtheflavour and ban all flavoured tobacco products, including flavoured smokeless tobacco products. Attempts have been made to ban flavoured tobacco but they have not been enough. In 2010, both the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada banned the sale of candy-flavoured cigarillos. This law didn’t go far enough because it only banned one product: cigarillos. The law is ineffective because it has a loophole

that defines a cigarillo as 1.4 grams or less. This opened the door for the same product, just larger, to be made. This means that candy-flavoured cigarillos as well as a wide variety of other flavoured tobacco products are still being sold in Ontario. This is why we need a complete ban on flavoured tobacco products. What you can do There are lots of ways you can advocate and help in the fight against cancer.

Songs can trigger all sorts of memories, connections Upcoming events Monkeyjunk June 14: Stewart Park Festival fundraiser at Crystal Palace at 8 p.m. in Perth. Come and dance to Juno Award winners and one of the hottest blues bands play themselves into a box, what turned out to be, full of mini cupcakes, in honour of Sam’s upcoming birthday, two days later. Cue band to carry on while these delicious little nibbles were shared around the not so big, but boisterously crowded space and you can hopefully envisage the scene. Sam’s strong, tear your heart out vocals bringing folks to their feet to somehow dance in the tight quarters. The band plays with their back to a front window where the growing overflow audience were gathered on the sidewalk behind them. Next thing you know Mikey’s playing outside on the sidewalk amongst the hangers on, much to their enjoyment. Always fun, these guys are. Samantha has a new venture as well called Delta Sugar featuring Sam backed by Stacie Tabb and Sherie Marshall on backing vocals and Mikey on guitar. They bring a more gospel, soulfully infused sound, which I love. Yes, another great memory. On the return trip back to the hotel I found a tribute to Mary Pickford, the world’s first movie star known as America’s sweetheart. There is a statue of her on the corner of University Ave. and Elm St., the current site of Sick Kids Hospital, where, in1892 she was born Gladys Marie Smith in the family home previously located at that location. Hmm… America’s sweetheart was actually a Canadian. Back at home: Many thanks to Ray Elgersma for all his hard work in pulling off a very successful “He’s A Good Dog” Fred Eaglesmith Concert June 5, all in aid of LAWS (Lanark Animal Welfare Society).

who caused the Calgary guy sitting next to me to stay an extra day after a conference to attend Corin’s Thursday show to personally ask Corin to come and sing at he and his fianceé’s future wedding and is willing to plan it around Corin’s tour schedule. All because they’d heard Corin at one of his shows while he was touring through Calgary and fallen in love with his music and style. Corin’s becoming known as the songwriter’s songwriter as many are covering his tunes now. He’s off to Denmark and beyond the next week…always touring somewhere. Complete with multiple pairs of cowboy boots hanging from the ceiling, an always captive audience, The Cameron House, and it’s ‘back in time’ interior always seems such a welcoming space. Check Corin and the Cameron House out sometime. Six White Horses by Samantha Martin & The Haggard filled the air and brought me back to a wonderful stroll I had Saturday later afternoon. Upon completion of two brain-numbing days of a conference I threw my stuff in the room at the Eaton Chelsea on Yonge and Gerrard and immediately sauntered over to meet the rest of the family at Graffiti’s on Baldwin Avenue in Kensington Market. I mention this stroll because, even in the depths of the city, I was able to take advantage of the warm sunny weather and go west along Elm Street, behind Sick Kids Hospital, then through older, being regenerated residential neighbourhoods, all to unwind and relax. And, you know, it’s amazing what you find. I found George Brown’s historical site on Beverly St., one of our fathers of Confederation, founder of the Globe & Mail newspaper and a fierce fighter to abolish slavery. As I got squeezed in and settled at the table my family had managed to secure earlier in Graffiti’s, Samantha & The Haggard (Mikey McCallum on guitar, Greg Sweetland on bass and Pete Lambert on drums) were already kicking it down.

Lifestyle – Don’t know about you but I know I’m not alone when I say songs often trigger interesting memories for me. Sometimes it’s of people I was with when I heard the music, sometimes it’s neuro-snapshots flashing within my wee head of the scene I first heard it or a specific connection to a situation. I still can’t hear a John Hiatt song without thinking of my late friend Jeff, whom I’ve written about recently, as he’s who introduced. I can’t hear a Lyle Lovett song without thinking of my buddy Gibber, who graciously took me to one of his memorable concerts. Any Chicago song (all except Colour My World as it’s reserved for my far better half) brings my crony, Chuckles, to mind as we wore out LPs listening to them together as teens. Well, you get the idea... I finally was able to get away to our camp, my favourite place to sit in front of a campfire, the night’s dark forest around me providing its own soundscape complete with crickets, croaking tree frogs while loons call forlornly to one another across the nearby lake...all under a dark multi-treed canopy interspersed with twinkling stars struggling through. My stereo, on low enough volume to allow the local players to add their croaks and vocalizations to the mix, plays some of my favourite tunes off my MP3 player, through speakers with at least 40 feet of separation. As I relaxed in the ol’ Muskoka chair, tequila Caesar in hand, several songs came on, bringing back glowing memories of my recent weekend trip to Toronto. There Will Always Be a Small Time by Corin Raymond and the Sundowners came on. It’s the title track of what I consider a best of CD from 2009 and, when in the big smoke, I always try to catch him at The Cameron House on Thursdays at 6 p.m. A prolific, proud, independent songwriter/ actor/storyteller, ably backed by David Baxter on guitar, the talented Treasa Lavasseur on piano, accordian, backing vocals and Brian Kobayakawa on double bass, it’s always an experience. He’s the type of songwriter

Hannah is a sleek, slim, very pretty lady with stunning green eyes looking right through you. Twice she was given a chance in a potential forever home but although very affectionate and Hannah is very dominant. Therefore it would be best if she could be the only lady in your life. She developed an allergy for certain foods. Since she is only being fed hypoallergenic food her fur shines and she is doing very well. Likely this will be her diet for the rest of her life, but who cares if she’s the love of your life! Please meet Hannah at the Natural Pet Store in

Becky Becky resides with another cat at the Smiths Falls Pet Valu store. A beautiful Tabby cat who has been too long at the store for no obvious reasons. She’s affectionate, likes other cats, has met a lot of dogs and people and seems to do well with all of them. She’s content in the store, but that was not the idea. We’re looking for that special person to come along to give Becky a real home and a couch

not have a very happy life as he lived with a dog which scared him. He hid in a furnace room under the furnace for two years before he came to LAWS. His short hair was so matted that we had to shave part of it, but it’s growing back. Initially Frodo, who came in as a diabetic cat, needed insulin twice per day, but he is now in full of soft pillows to snooze the remission. He’s come out of hidday away. ing and just wants to be loved. He now enjoys belly rubs and Frodo good food, which still has to be Frodo is a very friendly large given to him in limited quantities eight-year-old male cat. He did as he could lose another pound

or two. Who likes to give this boy a change for the remainder of his life. He’s worth the trip to LAWS. Roxie There’s mischief in those large, round black eyes, set in a face as smooth as dark chocolate. She also scores three As – for animated, adorable and affectionate. A high energy and playful miss, who is quite vocal at times, being busy and staying active are definite musts for Roxie. But then, so See LAWS page 58

Local organization offers REAL action grants naturalize a space. REAL began in 1989 on the premise that individuals could make an environmental difference by “thinking globally and acting locally.” The group wants to give other groups the opportunity to put their ecofriendly ideas into action. As a non-profit organization, REAL understands the challenge of finding funding, and wants to support community groups who have great ideas to improve the environment but may need a little financial support to make them a reality. The environmental group is hoping to encourage simple projects such developing a nature trail, planting trees in a school yard, installing recycling receptacles, composters or rain barrels, buying a vermicomposting kit, buying reusable

dishware for so disposables are not needed, purchasing environmental resource materials, or putting on a workshop. The project can be standalone or part of a larger project. The application process will be a simple one. Full instructions are available on REAL’s website: www.REALaction.ca. Applications will be accepted until Sept. 19. However, up to four projects whose applications are received before June 30 will be given early acceptance. Projects must be completed by the end of June 2015. Successful applicants will be announced on Saturday, Oct. 18 at REAL’s annual local foods dinner at the Smiths Falls Curling and Squash Club. Submitted by the Rideau Environmental Action League.
